Partials (Partials #1) by Dan Wells
The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population. Reduced to tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.
Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic in training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws threaten to launch what's left of humanity into civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will discover that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.
Dan Wells, acclaimed author of I Am Not a Serial Killer, takes readers on a pulse-pounding journey into a world where the very concept of what it means to be human is in question—one where our humanity is both our greatest liability and our only hope for survival. (synopsis from Goodreads)

I take it these are the Planet X 60mm carbon clinchers, how do you like them? Nice touch on the custom decals.
Good eye! I was all set on just removing the decals completely but it just clashed with the "loud" color way of my frame so I redid them and added in a little red to tie it in with the rest of the bike.
It's heavy by most standards at 1800g but I'm coming from a 24lb cross bike so the whole set up at a hair under 16lbs is already crazy light for me!
I also have a feeling that if I hang out on this forum long enough, I'll eventually get a light tubular sub 1200g set anyway so these can be the dedicated trainers.

¶ Dose reduction and/or serum Theophylline concentration measurement is indicated whenever adverse effects are present, physiologic abnormalities that can reduce Theophylline clearance occur (., sustained fever), or a drug that interacts with Theophylline is added or discontinued (see WARNINGS ).
Once-Daily Dosing: The slow absorption rate of this preparation may allow once-daily administration in adult non-smokers with appropriate total body clearance and other patients with low dosage requirements. Once-daily dosing should be considered only after the patient has been gradually and satisfactorily titrated to therapeutic levels with q12h dosing. Once-daily dosing should be based on twice the q12h dose and should be initiated at the end of the last q12h dosing interval. The trough concentration (C min ) obtained following conversion to once-daily dosing may be lower (especially in high clearance patients) and the peak concentration (C max ) may be higher (especially in low clearance patients) than that obtained with q12h dosing. If symptoms recur, or signs of toxicity appear during the once-daily dosing interval, dosing on the q12h basis should be reinstituted.
It is essential that serum Theophylline concentrations be monitored before and after transfer to once-daily dosing.
Food and posture, along with changes associated with circardien rhythm, may influence the rate of absorption and / or clearance rates of Theophylline from extended-release dosage forms administered at night. The exact relationship of these and other factors to nighttime serum concentrations and the clinical significance of such findings require additional study. Therefore, it is not recommended that Theophylline extended-release once-daily dosing be administered at night.

Jonathan Edwards gave very helpful counsel to those who are struggling with bereavement- which includes everyone at some time or another:
In case of such an awful dispensation of Providence, those that are concerned in it, and bereaved by it, should go and spread their sorrow before Jesus.
The heart that is full of grief wants vent, and desires to pour out its complaint; but it seeks a compassionate friend to pour it out before.
Christ is such an one, above all others.
Christ is able to afford all that help that is needed in such a case. His power and his wisdom are as sufficient as his purpose, and answerable to his compassions. By the bowels of his mercies, the love and tenderness of his heart, he is disposed to help those that are in affliction; and his ability is answerable to his disposition. He is able to support the heart under the heaviest sorrows, and to give light in the darkness. He can divide the thickest cloud with beams of heavenly light and comfort. He is one that gives songs in the night, and turns the shadow of death into the morning. He has power to make up the loss of those that are bereaved by the death of the most eminent minister. His own presence with the bereaved is sufficient. If the great Shepherd and Bishop of souls be present, how much more is this than enough to supply the want of any under shepherd! And then he is able to furnish others with like gifts and graces for that work .

The Ample Bites family had an early dinner at Rios D'Sudamerica on Saturday night. The restaurant, which is located in Bucktown, serves authentic Peruvian food in a beautifully decorated space with very high ceilings and tasteful murals of the sights and scenes of South America. Rios overs a large menu including a number of fish, poultry and meat entrees.
The stars of the menu are the ceviches. We enjoyed the Mixto Ceviche which featured white fish, squid and shrimp in a lime and coconut-based marinade that also included a touch of ginger and habanero pepper. The ceviche is served with a piece of boiled potato, sweet potato and some hominy. Our waiter explained that the purpose of the starches is to offset the acidity of the marinade. He, of course, was right – the balance of the starches with the ceviche was amazing.
The entrees were served with a basket of bread with a puree of smoked jalapeno peppers as a condiment. This spicy sauce was very powerful but it added a different and enjoyable flavor to the warm crusty bread. We enjoyed our appetizer with some Peruvian lager and the house Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our appetizer of Jalea de Mariscos en Salsa de Cebolla, a breaded fried calamari dish topped with a fresh tomato and onion salsa, was an interesting departure from the typical dish served with a marinara sauce.
The AmpleBites party enjoyed four different entrees which were all served with a hearty portion of rice. The Arroz con Pato was a dark beer marinated leg and breast of duck served over an aromatic cilantro rice. Pollo Relleno was a breaded chicken breast that was stuffed with a combination of spinach, ham and chihuahua cheese, pan-fried and then served with a white rice and cream sauce. The Arroz con Mariscos featured a combination of shrimp, clams, squid and mussels served paella-style with a brandy, white wine broth. The Moqueca de Pescado was a halibut steak which was steamed in coconut milk with garlic, tomatoes, onion, peppers and cilantro infused palm oil.
All of the servings were generous in size, especially the two Arroz dishes. The majority of the entrees were priced just under $20. The ceviche, at $14, was well worth the price, in fact, we all agreed that the ceviche with a cold beer and a basket of the bread with the pepper puree would be a nice light meal for about $20 plus gratuity.
As we were leaving, our waiter reminded us about the Sunday Brunch, priced at $13, which we were told featured a wide variety of dishes. I suspect that one of the Ample Bits party, a new resident of the Bucktown area, is likely to be back soon for the brunch.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012

When it comes to getting that perfect shave, there's no better model to dish out advice than this year's Sports Illustrated covergirl Brooklyn Decker. Between her new film and shoots for SI, Brooklyn's spent an immeasurable amount of time in a bikini, and therefore knows a thing or two about close shaves. Venus Embrace smartly placed Brooklyn on a pedestal for the warm weather season, and named her their Summer Goddess. We caught up with Brooklyn to chat razors, summer plans, and her secrets to the perfect shave.
How did you become involved with Gillette?
The Venus slogan is all about bringing out the inner goddess in you. Personally, I'm all about being healthy and bringing health awareness and fitness awareness to women, and Venus celebrates that. And, who better to be the spokesperson than someone who is in a bikini all the time?! So, it was really sort of a perfect marriage of the two forces. I've used Venus ever since I started shaving when I was around 13 or 14. I can't wax because I'm not in New York enough to do it consistently. And with waxing you have to grow out your leg hair, and if you're always in a bikini you can't do that, so I've just always shaved. It was the perfect fit for us to come together and kick off summer together.
What makes this razor better than others?
The Venus Embrace was actually designed for a women's body. I've been in the lab, and I've seen how they test. Women shave in all different directions because we're doing our underarms, our bikini line, and our legs. This razor has a rounded head and it pivots, so it molds to all the bones on your body – your knees, your ankles. So for someone like me who's on the go, it's just quick and you know you're going to be cut-free, because it's designed for a women's body.
Do you use shave gel? What are your shaving tricks?
Gillette actually has this new product called Satin Care In-Shower Moisturizer I just started using. It's a lotion that you put on in the shower and then rinse off, which is kind of unusual. As soon as you do that, your legs are really shiny, without having to apply lotion when you get out of the shower after you dry off. It's really good for moisturizing your legs, making the hair grow back slower, and keeps you nice and glowing for when you have to be on the beach!
What are your summer plans?
I'm taking two weeks off after this. I haven't had time off this year so I'm really excited about that. I'm going to be in LA, presenting at the ESPY's and after that, I don't know, maybe doing another movie! I love working so right now and things are going really well. I'm happy to be where I am.
And you just won "Sexiest Woman Alive" from Esquire!
I don't even know how you respond to that! Obviously it's very flattering, and it means your friends and Twitter followers, and people out there are supporting you, which is really exciting. I think my mom is responsible for half the votes, and my friends for the other half, and my husband…they rigged it! Although Heidi, she's won the Most Beautiful woman like a million times from a million sources, so I don't think she's crying over this at all.
Do you have any plans for Father's Day?
Oh, I wish I was seeing my dad! I'm not, I'm actually going out of town tomorrow, and my dad will be home. He'll be getting a nice call from me, but I'm trying to do a sneaky little Father's Day gift, too! I'm going to do something customized. Let's keep it a secret!

Einstein bounced me on his knee when I was a small child. I don't have a memory of it, but I am told he was a very nice man," said Nora Charney Rosenbaum. Nora's family had come to Princeton University in the summer of 1948 so that her father, Jule Charney, could join some of the greatest thinkers of the day at the Institute for Advanced Study. "Those were very exciting times. It was a heady mix of people and ideas, not just in science, but in different disciplines," remarked Nora. But in the late 1940s, much of that brainpower was focused on a problem many considered to be the most highly non-linear, interactive, and complex ever thought of—weather forecasting. By then, Charney had already developed equations of atmospheric motion that were to be the basis for numerical weather prediction, but the computing power was just coming of age.
"Next to the Institute was an unremarkable small brick building we called 'the computer' because that is all the building housed," recalled Nora. "This is where my father was working on using computer models to forecast the weather." Inside was the ENIAC—Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator—a "modern-day" computer. The team at the Institute was called the "Meteorology Project" and they designed a program, developed in part by Charney, to generate a forecast. "I am convinced that weather forecasting is a computing problem and that its solution requires one highly intelligent machine and a few mathematic-meteorological oilers," stated Charney. The team pulled off the first successful prediction in April of 1950.Atmospheric scientists immediately recognized the success of these first computer-generated forecasts. Confidence in this process grew as the Princeton team was able to simulate simple aspects of general circulation and to predict cyclogenesis. "We spent many summers on Cape Cod," said Nora. "I recall in 1954, Hurricane Carol came through and [caused] a lot of destruction. My father and his colleagues were really quite pleased, because their model had captured the hurricane's acceleration. It was a great triumph for them. I just remember the house where we were staying did not have any water or electricity after the storm. I thought that was great fun," said Nora. On May 15, 1955, routine numerical weather prediction began. To many, the impossible problem had been solved.Although Charney is considered by many to be the "father" of numerical weather prediction, he went on to make significant scientific contributions throughout his life that continue to inform our understanding of the atmosphere and oceans. "My work was definitely inspired by observations...it didn't arise in abstraction," Charney was quoted as saying. It was this power of observation that his daughter recalls so fondly."He loved nature not because he saw equations in it, but because it made him sincerely happy. I believe his interest in science was spawned by his love of nature. That is what he passed on to his children."I had met Nora at a cloud art show near Boston in 2008. I was there doing a story on atmospheric artwork for WBZ, a local CBS affiliate. A woman approached me and said, "Hello, I am one of your interview subjects. You might know my father? My last name is Charney." My jaw dropped—of course! And immediately the connection between Nora's art and her personal life became clear to me. The legacy of a brilliant man was woven into a field of altocumulus, skillfully painted by his daughter onto a copper square. I was in love with the painting and moved by the realization that I was looking at a father's gift—his love of weather—living on to inform another generation. I offered this insight to Nora, who looked at me with a puzzled expression. "Oh, this cloud painting? I have never really thought about it that way," she said. But in that moment, her heart opened to the possibility and her world shifted.
"Meeting you has been a pivotal point in my life," Nora said to me a few months later, when we sat down in her studio to do the interview for this article. It had been just a seed of an idea that was soon swept up in a whirlwind of rediscovery. After we met at the cloud art show, Nora summoned up the courage to look through thousands of slides taken by her father. "He was the photographer of the family. Everywhere he went, he took pictures of clouds. I had not looked at the slides since his death because it would have been too painful. But it turned out to be very therapeutic for me, and now I understand things differently," said Nora. "In fact, I got this really odd sensation of looking at my life through his eyes. It was really an amazing experience to see for the first time what an enormous influence he has had on my art. To see this connection, it was an awakening."In 1956, the Charney family moved to Newton, Massachusetts, so that Nora's father could join the faculty at MIT. "I remember climbing up Mount Washington with my father and younger brother. We often went to the White Mountains, since they were so close to Boston. My father was in his element outdoors. He really loved it. He would point out eddies in a stream and lie with us in a meadow taking in the sky," recalled Nora. "He would talk about the clouds. I learned cirrus and cumulus and basic things, but it was not hard science; it was more just an appreciation for it. My father had these two sides. One was very scientific and the other was immersed in natural beauty. Nature was his religion."During his years at MIT, Charney was the principle planner and architect for GARP—the Global Atmospheric Research Program. Officially launched in 1968 and completed in the early 1980s, the program conducted international field experiments from the tropics to the poles to better understand atmospheric circulation on a global scale. The goal was to extend forecasts beyond a few days out to a few weeks. The research data would also lay the foundation for the study of climate dynamics. Charney was particularly interested in understanding the atmospheric energy supplied by the tropics. In 1969, he worked on the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX), which used aircraft, satellites, and ships to explore the transfer of energy between the tropical atmosphere east of Barbados and the warm Atlantic waters. "During these experiments, my father took many photos of the ocean, especially ones adorned with clouds," said Nora.She noted, "I like to paint nature, especially the sky and water. Both have a depth and motion and a sense of transparency. It is a challenge to capture the ephemeral nature. I used to think it would get easier—you do get better at it, but it is still hard. Each time I start a painting I think, I don't know what I am doing here. How do you achieve this sense of buoyancy and weightlessness in the clouds? It is always a struggle. My father would have loved the struggle. He loved artists for that reason. He had a notion of artists and musicians that was highly romanticized. He believed that their talents were of a higher order, unlike his pedestrian mathematical skills. Because that ability came so easily to my father, he never felt that he deserved the accolades. He had this idea that you had to struggle very hard to reach a goal and only then were you deserving of praise. He was tormented by that. Perhaps if he had lived longer, he would have overcome this frustration," said Nora.After our chance meeting, Nora decided to work with some of her father's images taken during BOMEX. The three resulting works she calls Bi-Polarity, Ocean Shower, and Rain Cloud. "In general, my paintings start from an emotional reaction to what is beautiful in the natural world. Sometimes it's chance fragments—a view of trees, a slice of sky, or reflections in the water. Sometimes it's the stillness or energy, the light, the color. I usually use photographs that I take as stimuli for my work. I view painting as solving problems of color, form, and texture that lead to something that was unknown at the start," explained Nora. "Working with my father's photos added another layer of intent and meaning.""In Bi-Polarity, I wanted to augment the tension I felt between the 2 large clouds so I elongated the composition and intensified the colors. As I was working on it," she added, "I started seeing the cloud masses as representing my parents—2 people with large egos who had an impassioned and tumultuous marriage. The thunderous push and pull between them seemed mirrored in the clouds."Ocean Shower emphasizes what Nora considered the most interesting part of the slide. "I like to use a square panel because it encloses the subject and all sides are equally active. As I worked on the painting, I began to see how the light from the upper left corner was suffusing the clouds and sea with a kind of metaphysical spirituality," Nora explained. "Neither my father nor I held any religious beliefs, yet we both found a kind of transcendental awe in nature. I believe this painting captures some of that feeling."When Nora first saw her father's slide of what was to become the painting Rain Cloud, she was struck by the image's beauty and majesty. She tried to impart these 2 qualities into the painting through a heightened use of color. "I couldn't improve much on the composition except to make the clouds more towering," said Nora. "All of my work is painted on copper, and sometimes the way the surface interacts with the subject matter is both apt and surprising. In these works inspired through my father's lens, I tried to use these reflective qualities inherent in the metal to give a sense of luminescence and depth to the water beneath the clouds, imparting an idea of energy transfer between the ocean and atmosphere," she explained. "My father never knew my art work. When I was little, I painted and sculpted. He thought that was wonderful, but I feared that I could not be the best at it. That was the expectation in my family," Nora recalled. "Whatever it is you were going to do, you had to be the best. But when I lost my father, it made me realize that I am not going to grow up and be somebody else. I gained an understanding that who I am and the talents that I have are what I am able to work with. I believe my father would have been very happy to see me as an artist," she concluded.The ashes of Jule Charney are buried in Woods Hole at a cemetery that overlooks Vineyard Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Nora is now working on painting 3 additional slides taken from her father's collection. MISH MICHAELS is a staff meteorologist and station scientist for WBZ, the CBS affiliate in Boston. She has worked as a forecaster in New England since 1990 and hosted a show on The Weather Channel with Jim Cantore called Atmospheres. Mish would like to thank her father for always helping with her homework during grade school, especially math, and for accepting her choice to study atmospheric science. Mish would also like to thank her mentor, WCVB Chief Meteorologist Harvey Leonard, for teaching her how to forecast New England weather and for supporting her many endeavors in the sciences.

How a South Korean man became the folk hero of the Kansas City Royals
Mark my words: the story of Lee Sung-woo will be a movie someday. The 38-year-old South Korean man is a die-hard Kansas Royals fan and was recently flown to a Royals game where he threw out the first pitch, but that doesn't even begin to explain what makes this story so great.
Lee Sung-woo started following the Royals in the '90s when he caught a brief highlight of a Royals player hitting a home run. He immediately fell in love with the Royals and their home stadium, Kauffman Stadium. From that day on, Lee Sung-woo followed the Royals' every move from his home in South Korea.
He started posting on Royals message boards and Twitter, always showing his unabashed support for the subpar team. and he slowly became a hometown sensation. Fans and Royals players started offering to fly the avid fan to a Royals game, but Lee did not agree until this year.
His 10-day trip to Kansas City has been nothing short of magical. Lee Sung-woo was featured on SportsCenter, NPR, and The Kansas City Star; he received a resounding ovation before throwing out the first pitch at a Royals game; and he received a Royals and Kansas City Chiefs jersey, a baseball glove, and a personal tour of Kauffman Stadium and of the Royals AA affiliate team. He spoke with Missouri's Secretary of State, Jason Kander and Royals legend Frank White, not to mention all the hospitality he received from other die-hard Royals fans.
On top of all of this adulation, the Kansas Royals have been playing their best baseball in years and especially in front of Lee Sung-woo. They are currently in first place and have won eight of their last ten games. I'd like to think it was all because of Lee Sung-woo.
Miss Downton Abbey? Watch a talented young seamstress become a spy to help England fight the Nazis before WWII.

oh, that's because I didn't update SwiftBGFX submodule, will fix it in hours.
Update: works now.
Try to do a fresh install. We've just updated bgfx library, I bet your project still using old compiled one.
I did a fresh install because when I tried to update I got some git errors, so I just removed everything. Anyway, all should be just compiled in Xcode. Download, open project and run. I will wait when such "instructions" will be available.
Fixed all of this, project should compile as easy as cloning and running one script, see new README
Should be just:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/s1ddok/Fiber2D.gitOpen XCode project, compile and run.
As simple as adding script to build-phase, it is done due to save compile time due to development purposes. In the end it will be as simple as adding a dependency to SwiftPM
I mean that any .sh file should not even exist.
That is due to swiftpm limitations, there is no other way now to setup needed compile/link flags
And is that true about very slow compilation times in swift? So slow as project on c++ also? I recently worked with cocos2d-x: using full source code is a nightmare for compiling and indexing project. However, even with precompiled lib it's very slow, because game source files all in c++ too and so they very slow to compile. Is that what will be with swift too? My friends, who using it a lot tell me that is so slooow..
I'm stoked about the Fiber2D news and would love to contribute in any way I can.
So it's the same? I'm currently working on setup cocos2d-x and all is really slow. If this same with swift thats wrong way/ Also any game using C or C++ libs, so we should create a bridge and use Objective C again for that? Really why do that, we currently have a nice language and everything working well..
I wasn't aware that C++ was particularly slow to compile, although I could be wrong.
It may be that Cocos2d-x contains a lot more code than the iOS only version due to being cross platform. I can imagine that the code base is larger due to a lot of platform specific code, and because there are many things that the project includes that would be part of the iOS sdk in the Obj-C version.
I think the Swift compiler is a little on the slow side at the moment. I've heard other people complain about it a bit, but I think it's because the language isn't mature enough to be at a point where the compiler is being optimised for speed.
Personally I haven't really had any issues, seems fast enough to me, even when I'm on the 12inch macbook. Although I'm not working on anything with large dependancies at the moment.
Either way, Swift is the future. Obj-C is going away.
Yes, and on typical mac mini it will compile all these code 5min. So if you change something or clean project it will again recompile. Really sucks. But even if you use pre-compiled libs - it's still compiles slowly even with average classes in your project.
So what about bridging C++ or even more likely optimizing code with C++ ? In my game written on Objective C++ I have used Box2D code inside my classes really easily. Also I optimized many things in my code using C++ vectors, instead of using NSMutableArray's for some parts of the code. That really helps. And so what you can do with swift in such situation?
You can have even better performance in Swift, technically. It gives you even more control in some cases.
And this/
Nope, Swift can use C directly. Currently, Fiber2D uses 2 C libs: libpng and chipmunk2d and one C++ lib: bgfx. And project contains zero objective-c lines.
But I asked about both C and C++. Why when you answered you pick only C that supported as you said, but ignored C++ that is not supported? I can't just code as before in .mm files and combine C++ box2d code with Objective C.
I mentioned that we use C++ lib, you just need to use a C api for that. Swift team is working on adding direct C++ support

Wedding Stationery: Deckle Edges and Sewing
We designed this invitation set for Epitome Papers, located in The Galleria, Edina, Minnesota.
This invitation design is clean and understated, the monogram for the couple takes center stage. Printed on Crane Lettra 220# pearl white cover (Invite Panel) and 110# cover (all other pieces) in rust orange and brown inks.
Notice the invitation panel has one deckle edge at the top. We consider this a torn edge, not a true deckle edge. Since the 220# cover is a duplexed cover (glue is involved), the torn edge takes on a different appearance.
The insert card set is hand-sewn together in an orange thread that is a perfect match to the ink color used on the invitation set. This is a nice, yet subtle, way to add color to the reply cards that are printed in only brown ink. The reply card is able to perforate off from the set and mailed as a postcard.

Gladiator 2 anyone? Well not quite. Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe may have teamed up again, but A Good Year is set to be a very different movie. "Sometimes Russell calls me and says, 'What you got?'" Scott told Total Film from the movie's Provence shoot. "So I told him about A Good Year. He goes, 'That's interesting... can I read it?'"
Six months later, the pair are on location in France shooting the relatively low budget (for Scott and Crowe) romantic comedy about an English banker who inherits a failing vineyard from his uncle (Albert Finney) but arrives there only to find that a long-lost relative (Marion Cotillard) is also claiming the property.
"Russell's not an obvious choice," smiles Scott. "But an unobvious choice sometimes makes the best results. This is a character filled with self-confidence. He's a banker who works in the city, a trader, and he's rather successful. He enjoys his success to the extent that he's forgotten about the other things in life."
If the pairing of Crowe and Albert Finney has your mouth watering, throttle your expectations back a little. The two don't actually share any scenes together.
"They never actually act together," admits Scott. "We see Russell's character at about 11 years old with Uncle Henry trying to teach him about life on this small chateau where he spent a month and a half every summer when his parents used to get rid of him."
Surely Scott was tempted to tinker with the script so they did share screen time?
"I experimented with the idea of putting Russell into the flashback, observing himself as a youngster," he admits. "That's something you play with, but you always make sure you can get out of it if it doesn't work or if it's too pretentious or a little bit arty."

Malphite 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.
Malphite, Shard of the Monolith
Character Introduction
[*] Stats
Damage 56.3 (+3.375 / per level)
Health 423 (+82 / per level)
Mana 215 (+40 / per level)
Move Speed 310
Armor 13 (+3.75 / per level)
Spell Block 30 (+0 / per level)
Health Regen 1.49 (+0.11 / per level)
Mana Regen 0.78 (+0.07 / per level)
[*] Abilities
Seismic Shard - Using his primal elemental magic, Malphite sends a shard of the earth through the ground at his foe, dealing damage upon impact and stealing movement speed for 6 seconds.
Deals 80/135/190/245/300 (+0.6) magic damage and steals 10/15/20/25/30% movement speed from the target for 5 seconds.
80/90/100/110/120 Mana
Brutal Strikes - Malphite hits with such excessive force he deals damage to units around his target. He can also call upon his strength to increase the damage he does for a short time.
Passive: Malphite's attacks hit units near his target for 30/35/40/45/50% of his attack damage.
Active: Malphite hits for 30/40/50/60/70% more damage for 6 seconds.
55/60/65/70/75 Mana
Ground Slam - Malphite slams the ground sending out a shockwave that deals base damage plus half his armor as damage and reduces the attack speed of enemies for 4 seconds.
Malphite slams the ground dealing 60/100/140/180/220 (+70% of his Armor) magic damage to surrounding enemies, reducing their attack speed by 30/35/40/45/50% for 4 seconds.
60/70/80/90/100 Mana
Unstoppable Force - Malphite ferociously charges to a location, damaging enemies and knocking them into the air.
Malphite charges towards the target area, dealing 200/300/400 (+1) magic damage and knocking enemies into the air for 1.5/1.75/2 seconds.
100/100/100 Mana
Summoner Spells
Since Malphite's ability cooldowns and mana cost is both a bit high there is no point in getting mana items if you can't use your abilities that often. If you can spend your mana wisely while harassing without getting hurt that much, within 2 minutes if you have enough health to stay you get more mana to get some more lane time to out-farm experience, gold, and harass your opponent. And because i applied the Clarity Mastery i can act as a mana support character, helping my allied champions with a lot of mana (if they are mana dependent as i am).
Ignite - Ignite is a damage over time spell that targets a single champion dealing 50 damage plus 20 damage per level over 5 seconds. Ignite ignores enemy Magic Resist, and reduces healing and regeneration by 50%.
Just because Malphite has a few AOE abilities doesn't mean he can't 1v1 some champions, in fact ignite has more applications than just setting your opponent on fire for a few seconds, you can use it to help jungle, if you have the Ignite Mastery you get +10 ability power after its used, and the usual reduced healing and finishing off running away opponents. Also you can use after Unstoppable Force and Ground Slam for a more nuking combo with your other abilities.(R,E,F,W,Q)
Starting with a small .6 per champion level ability buff i move down towards magic penetration and into ignite giving me a total of a 3% cooldown, 15% magic penetration, and an additional 10 ability boost when ignite is on cooldown. helps with the harassing power of the seismic shard and after getting sorcerer shoes (20 magic penetration increase) seismic shard can be played as a main attack. with a 700 range you can get in close and still hit far.
Defense: 10
Getting armor increase by 6, combined with the heart of gold help with making ground slam very effective early game, then moving on to 2% dodge, resulting in a 10% movement speed increase when on dodge and a whole 1 block physical damage(nifty, right?). when used with ninja tabi or phantom dancer creates a great run away and/or chasing strategy when seismic shard is in use of 30%max movement speed steal. makes you run faster basically.
Utility: 10
With a 10% decrease in time dead makes a 30 second death into a 27 second death, i don't know about you guys but i think its worth it. continuing to a 5% increase in experience gained combine with more lane time is very effective in out-leveling your opponent early game. selecting the clarty mastery makes malphite into a mana support character, helps out in team fights when team gets more mana to do wreck on somebody. having heart of gold giving you 5 gold per 10 seconds working with the 1 gold per 10 sec mastery and 2 of the same quintessences equals to a 8 gold per 10 sec early game.
Overall review - The whole idea is to create a good foundation on which to build on, you have more mana which equals more harassing and lane time, you get more gold per 10 sec to buy items faster or have extra for emergency elixirs, oracles, and sight wards (vision wards works well against Twitch and Evelyn but i go for oracles when fighting invisibles). starting off with more ability power and armor makes your ability attacks hurt more and become less squishy to normal attacks. and after level 6 you can start giving enemy champions everything you got and then some dim sum, with a can of coke and a bag of chips, and a sandwich!!! hey, make me a sandwich, on buttermilk bread, with mayo on one side and sweet onion sauce on the other, lay down some provolone and american cheese, layered with chicken teriyaki, and topped off with LOTs (Lettuce, Onions, and Tomatoes). I will love you forever if this done correctly.
Gold per 10
Health at level 18
Malphite's health is very medium, he is not initially classified as a tank. but his passive provides me with a layer of health consisting of 10% of my total health and when broken, comes back when out of combat for 10 seconds. by increasing your initial health and your health towards level 18 you add to your 10% layer, which makes trading attacks with enemy champions less hurtful. the +2 gold per 10 seconds runes is combined with my +1 gold per 10 sec mastery and the heart of gold starts me off with more health, armor, and an additional +5 gold per 10 sec, the additional gold buffs help me afford sight wards without taking time out of my initial item build, this way i can still buy my items normally without being set back by sight wards, oracles, and elixirs. it is very important to know where your enemy champions are in the fog, preventing surprise ganks and helps attacking in brushes.
Game play Strategies
Early Game:
With 475 gold you can afford 1 cloth armor, 2 health potions, and 2 mana potions. Once you move into your lane and minions are pushing you can start harassing your enemy champions with your seismic shard (with more ability power and magic pen it really hurts early game). and if you can attack while your passive health layer is up you can take almost no damage when harassing, the idea is to hit and run as soon as you hit them with a shard just run back behind minions and recharge your health layer and do it again. as soon as you run out of mana (which is pretty quick after a couple of shards) you have clarity to fill that bar up, at this point you can use mana potions until your clarity is back up again so its like having 3 bars of mana to start with. whenever you decide to go back to base try getting heart of gold and sorcerer's shoes to make the initial idea stronger.
Mid Game:
I consider reaching level 6 as mid game because as soon as you can get your ultimate ability you can start getting a little ballsy with turret diving and finishing off low hp champions. at this stage i would start getting sight wards and put them in preventive brushes in mid and jungle buffs. by this time sooner or later, Guardian Angel will increase your ballsyness by ten-folds, makes you hella hard to hit and you can fight to the death and come back for some more *** kicking. if you're a little fed you can start on madrid's bloodrazor increasing attack damage with attack speed works great with your brutal stike status effect, start taking down turrents like nothing.
End Game:
honestly the way games are going nowadays you don't need to go all the way to the nexus to win, if you can simply overpower them in mid game more then likely they will surrender. but if you do get some ballsy **********ers that thinks he/she can still win just shut them down and put them in their place. but at this point of the game you can really do anything you want with the item build, just use your wise judgement on what you need do and try to keep your sight wards out throughout the game. for me, i go for a sunfire cape, finish randuin's omen, and try to get youmuu's ghostblade, i guarantee that you can take half the nexus with all you got by yourself.

Here are my updated recommendations for the best Usenet Providers of 2018:
- I recommend using a provider like Newshosting (speedy, reliable, servers in US, Netherlands, Germany). $10 per month for 30 connections. Includes a VPN.
- For better download completion, most people use a second provider on a different Usenet backbone — for example a Dutch provider like XS News
To achieve Usenet nirvana, I recommend using NZBGet as your client (see my The Best Usenet Clients article), and a good Usenet index (see my article The Best Usenet Indexes).
The NZB Unity add-on for Firefox also makes downloading easier.
The Details: The Best Usenet Providers
Created in 1979, the Usenet is one of the original distributed networks. Still in wide use today, the Usenet now contains a enormous amount of media and messages! Usenet users upload every type of media file in existence (movies, TV shows, music and e-books). In its 30 year history, no one has ever been sued for downloading anything from the Usenet.
In 2004, a site called Newzbin started indexing the files available on Usenet and created the NZB file format. A NZB file is the Usenet equivalent of a torrent file. Basically, a NZB file that just contains a pointer to files available on Usenet.
To get started with Usenet, you need to pay for Usenet access from a provider. You can expect to pay about $10-$20 per month for access.
Advantages of Usenet:
- Encourages users to download (leech)
- Direct downloading as opposed to waiting for seeders
- Uses the full bandwidth of your internet connection
- Uses SSL to encrypt data being sent to your computer
There are four main features to look for when choosing a provider:
- Data Retention (how far their Usenet archive goes back — 1200 days is average, around 2100 day is the longest you can get)
- Monthly Transfer (the amount of data you can download each month — varies from 5 GB to unlimited traffic)
- Connections (the number of simultaneous connections you can make at a single time through your account — around 10-15 is fine unless you have a 100Mbps connection)
- Secure Connections (you may want a provider that provides SSL connections, so you can't be snooped on)
Here are my recommended providers:
Best All Inclusive Package: Newshosting
I've been testing Newshosting for a couple of years. It's a reliable and speedy service, supported by decent custom service.
Newshosting has one of the better free Trial Accounts offers. They allow 30 GB of downloads on free trial, and they give you access to the same SSL service as a regular account. This includes access to their newsreader that has a built-in index search, and the ability to preview videos if there is a message with video attachments.
Update: The top tier plan from Newshosting is now linked with Easynews. This means that customers who subscribe to the Newshosting top tier plan will be able to login to Easynews and download files using the simple web interface.
- Homepage: Newshosting
- Headquarters: Florida, USA
- Server Locations: USA, Netherlands, Germany
- Retention: 3650 days
- Connections: 30 (60 for XL PowerPack)
- SSL Connections: Yes
- Download limit: unlimited
- Max. Speed: unknown
- Price: $12.95 per month (for a yearly subscription)
- Payment Types: Credit cards, Paypal
- Trial Accounts: 14 days (or 30 GB used)
- Block Accounts: No
- Account sharing: No
Unlimited Access With No Frills: UsenetServer
Usenetserver is a good choice if you want a reliable, no-frills Usenet service and you are comfortable using NZB files to initiate downloads. Usenetserver offers a retention of 3250 days, good download speeds, and allows SSL connections. I tested their service for a month, and I found the service fast and reliable.
Link: Usenetserver ($10 per month)
European-Based Usenet Providers
Many people prefer using Dutch providers because they offer alternative Usenet feeds and can be used to fill in missing binary files. However, note that these provides comply with file takedowns requests too though.
- XSNews — this is a reliable Dutch provider, it's one of the fastest in Europe, and offers a tier-one independent feed
- Pure Usenet — this is an expensive provider in the Netherlands that offers a Highwinds feed. They accept many international payment methods including iDeal, Bitcoin, Paysafecard, credit cards
For Dutch block accounts:
UsenetBucket is an XSNews provider in the Netherlands. They have good prices and good download speeds. But most importantly they accept PayPal and Bitcoin for payment (very few European providers accept Paypal). They also have a English language website that is well-written and easy to understand. Cost: € 4,95 ($6.80 U.S.) per month.

As a Latter-day Saint who prizes thoughtful writing on the Book of Mormon and on the Pearl of Great Price, I will henceforth keep in mind a cautionary note, what I shall call the Two Bridges.
The first bridge is The Bridge to Nowhere. The second evokes strategy--even The Bridge Too Far.
We may, at times, meet sloppy prose, slippery logic, weak argument, incoherent transitions, and bizarre claims about the meaning of the word plausible (it does not connote the flimsiest thread binds Iron Truth), or of the role of authority (a scholar slept Here--disturb not!). Of these faults, the most serious is the lack of judicious discrimination in handling sources.
Here juts The Bridge to Nowhere. . .
Elsewhere, we find intricacy, detail, baroque piles, with multitudinous accompanying signs posted on interminable byways and winding paths: The Highway to Faith Just Ahead. One More Bridge. Watch for Ice.
Before us lies. . . The Bridge Too Far.
These Two Bridges, never fully distinct, may even converge into but One Bridge: the Bridge to Bird Island--that sandbar on Utah Lake on whose north shore Zarahemla once proudly rose (or was it the east shore and the Hill Cumorah?). And what is true of our work on the Book of Mormon may equally apply to work on Abraham or Deuteronomy or Paul.
Keeping well in mind that the Lord asks our patience and our faith, He never requires A Bridge Too Far. Faith sufficient to study, ponder, and plant the seed of belief in the testimony of the Book of Mormon is the "invitation" sent out "to all men" (see Alma 5:33; Alma 32). That testimony comprises not only doctrine but historical narrative as well; for, like the Bible, the Book of Mormon has its own assumptions about itself.
I speak of the work of independent students, what Elder Oaks calls "alternative voices," not of the publications in official Church organs. Who can but admire the careful and thoughtful work the Church sponsors on the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History? (Hint: it's small on speculation.) Faithful Latter-day Saints stand for the truth of the Book of Mormon's doctrine and storyline, but must they further vouch for any particular take, or even consensus, on geology, geography, ethnology, genetics, numerology, law, literary and lit-crit studies, linguistics, source criticism, or on what constitutes a festival or a temple text?
"Of course not," we say, "no one ever suggested any such thing!" Then why do we sometimes push our readings and interpretations to the degree we do? "Well, maybe we get a bit carried away in love and zeal and ice skates. It's like Pokemon Go: it's an exercise; it's fun; we battle monsters! Enemies we hunt up online surround us as we play! The pressure is constant!" Then let's be direct about it--lest we wind up saying to our readers: You really can't understand the book aright until you throw off encrusted tradition and read it with new eyes, that is, with our eyes--and here's the latest scholarship for you to master. Which is the same thing as saying: You jolly well must accept Zarahemla in Alaska, if you really wish to explain both the Mayans and the Mulekites, so well as the absence of snow and jungles in the Book of Mormon.
It's nobody's authorial intent to so present the Case of the Book of Mormon--but what of the reader? What of the reader, fed on the seeds so liberally spread on Bird Island, who comes to believe he or she must answer all the thorny historical and scientific questions anyone could possibly ask of the Book of Mormon, and so resorts to any possible answer, however far-fetched? What of the reader (or author) who has no reason to suppose that what is being promoted as the "latest scholarship" is founded in a decades-ago exploded secondary source? No matter how pleasing the sound, everything must be tested.
Alas! the method and the manner of Bird Island. How many years will it take to root out such a deep disregard for philology? Twenty? Thirty? Could we root it out all at once! Root, hog, or die!
In our very desire to support and supplement and invite faith in the word of God, and to stave off the singularly odd and repetitive attacks of the critic, might we sometimes nevertheless devise linguistic models, ethnological constructs, or geographic certainties of such complicated skein--that all ultimately culminates in A Bridge too Far? Is our immune system in overdrive? The cleverest-seeming scholarship may, at last, serve up many a dish for the gullible. (Look up the dictionary meaning of the word sophisticated.)
Lehi in Arabia? Great. Lehi in South Arabia? Yeah. Lehi's shrine in . . ?
Lehi in America? Fine. Lehi in Mesoamerica? Okay. Lehi in that particular cenote? You jump in first.
Bunyan's Christian, that simple Bible-reading pilgrim, pauses in front of our pyramidal learning, takes in the algae-clogged sandbar, and scratches his head: "Another Slough of Despond, is't not?"
Or might our piles and pyramids of learning by which we say we see, in occasional contradistinction to King Benjamin's tower even distort doctrinal horizons? Sometimes, with Alma, we feel to say: "Ye cannot suppose that this is what it meaneth" (Alma 40:17); or "it mattereth not" (40:5, 8). There are vital reasons why scriptural scholarship, in which history and doctrine are inseparably tied together, is the most difficult scholarship of all.
Besides, the road to faith need not stretch beyond the few and evil days of our mortal probation. Brigham Young read the Book of Mormon closely and prayerfully for two, not twenty, years before seeking baptism. If he had waited twenty years, he would have missed leading the Pioneer Trail. The pageant must go on; the dispensation of the fulness of times unroll. Wagons Ho!
It's time to drop some things cold; it's time to take responsibility for what we publish.
Shall we sing loud just because we find ourselves off-key? What to do? Kicked out of the pulpit; tuned up; then kicked back in--the Brigham Young solution? So very much of what finds publication in Book of Mormon studies over the span of the decades parallels the precarious situation of one or another of these Two Bridges.
Of what, then, may sound Book of Mormon scholarship consist? Of silly Ph.D's? Of startling originality for its own sake? And what's the point of such Scriptural endeavor anyhow? It should--and in sobriety of word and argument--invite what Hugh Nibley calls a second look. It ought not provide the artillery for public rows. Enough already of these interminable online rows about Scripture!
Hugh Nibley, in a footnote buried somewhere or other, speaks of "the peculiar and the specific." Evidence ideally ought to be "both peculiar and specific": that is the high standard Nibley strove for. Did he sometimes reach it? It's clear he thought he occasionally did. And so can we.
Proof, that is to say, "being convinced of a thing," lies within, a subjective choice ever. While the peculiar and the specific do not spell proof, that telling combination is an utterly different thing than the tenuous and the speculative. All Scriptural scholarship among the Latter-day Saints hovers somewhere between one or the other pole; I do not say it hovers safely. And if what goes into publication tends to be both tenuous and speculative (or even jejune and incomprehensible), so be it. Presses must roll--and posthaste! But when a correspondence simply must be pointed out, when it shines so bright as the three stars in the belt of Orion, the student will come to know what is nebulous and what is not.
Hugh Nibley, "Bird Island."

Redness of the eye is one of the most prevalent problems observed. Redness of the eyes has multiple causes associated with it. To enumerate a few common causes: (1) allergy of the eye. It is usually caused by improper eye hygiene. It occurs with symptoms of pricking, itching, irritation, watering, foreign body sensation and discomfort. There is a tendency to rub the eyes with fingers, handkerchief, cloth, etc. This is not a good habit because it tends to transmit lots of virus, bacteria and dust into the eye. Allergy usually presents with symptoms of watering (clear water), redness and itching of the eye. Thus, eye hygiene remains the principal modality of treatment along with eye drops as a supplement. (2) infectious conjunctivitis: this is usually associated with white-yellowish discharge. There may occur associated pain and sensation of itching, pricking, watering and discomfort. If so, it would be a good idea to go and show to an eye specialist in person. (3) foreign body lodged in the eye. This is more commonly associated with people who drive 2 wheeler vehicles without protection. It occurs more commonly in one eye. Foreign bodies that commonly get lodged are eyelashes, insect wings, small insects, dust particles, iron particles (more common with people working in the iron industry) the solution for a foreign body lodged in the eye would be better provided by an eye specialist at the clinic because it would require immediate removal from the eye and appropriate therapy. (4) raised eye pressure: this is a condition known as glaucoma. It is not so common as the previous mentioned conditions. There is usually associated pain in the eyes. It is commonly bilateral (occurs in both eyes). There is usually a positive family history of glaucoma associated in a majority of the cases. (5) inflammation of the covering layers of the eyeball. This is known as" uveitis" it is also a relatively less common condition. There is associated pain. It would require a thorough eye checkup including the retina-thus a good idea would be to visit the eye specialist in person. (6) increased blood pressure. This has known to cause redness which is also known as sub-conjunctival hemorrhage. The redness in this case tends to be deep dark and usually occurs only in one portion of the eye. In this regard, a complete ophthalmic evaluation and a systemic evaluation is warranted. (7) injury/ trauma to the eye in any form may cause redness of the eyes. This should be taken seriously and assessed in detail by an eye specialist in person. From the symptoms described by you, it seems more likely to be a case of infection (? viral conjunctivitis). Other causes elaborated before should also be checked for in detail. Also, maintaining the precautions and hygiene that I mentioned should probably work well for you. You could use an antibiotic eye drop 4 times in a day and also use a lubricant eye drop along with an anti-histamine eye drop. (3-4 times daily) also, you should undergo a complete eye evaluation in order to rule out other causes. This would be possible only by examining your eyes in person. Hope my suggestions helped you. Take care.

MIAMI — Q: Why not sign Carmelo Anthony instead of Dwyane Wade? I know that is a cold-hearted thing to do, but Melo is the better player now. I know Riley's loyalty to Wade would not allow this to happen, but just a thought. -- Ian, St. Petersburg.
A: The pat answer to these types of questions long has been: Because no one will ever trust Pat Riley and the Heat again if they make such a move. For one, I think if players want their money, and desire a location, they're quick to forget about history. Remember, plenty of players signed to play for the Clippers after plenty about Donald Sterling was public knowledge. This reality is that the Heat have operated more as a partnership than a hierarchy these past few years. Wade has enabled Riley as much as Riley has enabled Wade. Pardon the cliche, but for better or worse, they're in this together. That doesn't mean that LeBron James, Wade or Chris Bosh couldn't be lured elsewhere. It just means that Riley and the Arisons are not going to pull any end runs. It's not who they are or how they operate.
Q: Ira, will Pat wait for possible amnesty players, too. -- Trader.
A: The amnesty week does not end until the third week in July, so that might be too long to wait. Plus, the Bulls, Spurs, Thunder, Hawks, Celtics and Grizzlies are the only teams still in position to utilize the one-time amnesty provision. So we're not really talking about many possibilities beyond, say, Carlos Boozer and Kendrick Perkins, with only 10 players still amnesty eligible. And remember, there then is a waiver bidding period, with the Heat unlikely to have the funds at that point to make a claim.
