The 2003 Maputo Protocol, drafted as an update or addition to the 1981 African Charter on Human And People's Rights, was signed by 23 African nations, one of which was Uganda. In the articles of the treaty were frameworks for a more just way of dealing with issues of women's rights, especially in Uganda. Issues such as marriage, property rights, land rights, and the end to female genital mutilation.
Overjoyed at the signing of the treaty, Ugandan women celebrated their uplifted station in life, since before the treaty, they were basically a man's cattle to do with as he pleased. Rape charges were not even considered should a husband force himself on his wife before the treaty, and were she to be raped by another man, abortion was out of the question.
New women's groups started forming, because although Ugandan women had been treated badly in so far as discrimination in the workplace and education were concerned, historically, Ugandan women were also held in high esteem when it came to matters of religion, although once the Catholic Church got their hands on the country, (which boasts an 80% Christian conversion rate), that esteem slowly faded to a mere token representation.
One of the treaties biggest innovations and what many rights groups considered a positive move forward was the inclusion of the woman or women (Ugandan men still practice widespread polygamy), in the marital estate. Split between the family of the man and the man's wife or wives in the event of his death, the treaty provided a far cry better set of protections for the widow than ever before.
But in steps Uganda's religious leaders. As with all fanatical sects, the men that run these so called houses of worship decried the treaty and the new found voice of Uganda's women. Their biggest issue was the right the treaty gave to women to receive an abortion, even if a product of rape, incest, or the mother's life being in danger. And so, all of the gains since the time that Specioza Wandira Kazibwe became Uganda's first female Vice-President in 1995, boldly announcing a new dawn for the country's women and declaring that she would forbid "laws, customs or traditions which are against the dignity, welfare or interest of women", almost all of the gains of the Maputo Protocol have been washed away and swept under the rug.
Although still officially a signatory to the treaty, Uganda's current leaders do nothing to enforce the articles that are provided within. Now, Uganda's women are back to being cattle for men, with polygamous practices rampant. If the husband gets sick and dies, it is once again the family who receives all of the household's belongings, leaving the wife or wives with absolutely nothing.
Left to fend for herself the widow is likely to be forced into slave labor, or if young enough, prostitution. The reason the families of the husband are allowed to get away with this practice is by claiming the wife 'bewitched' her husband and that caused his death. With the backing of local clergy, the family is then entitled to all of the dead husband's household possessions. Everything. From the food in the cupboards, to the furniture, money, clothing, pictures on the walls, and even the home itself.
Also forgotten by the world is how the women of Uganda are often pressed into service to fight in wars. When the fighting ends, the women and often young teen girls, are not counted as part of the military, and so, receive no benefits even if wounded. It's just back to whatever she was doing before, hopefully finding a husband who won't beat her too much.
People ask how this could have happened in a country that was at one time seen as the one that could lead Africa out of it's stone age mentality. Carol Bunga Idembe of the Kampala-based Uganda Women's Network summed it up quite nicely. She said "The problem was people began looking at themselves: their personal interests, their own marriages. It could not pass."
One would think that the easiest way out for Ugandan women would be to not marry at all, but the practice of fathers or brothers 'arranging' marriages is still widespread and the women have no choice but to go along, lest violence occur. The woman is expected to stay by the husband's side, even if he commits adultery and contracts AIDS. Refusal to have relations with the husband who has AIDS has cost Ugandan women their lives, or those who escape, utter destitution.
Either way though, the lot of the Ugandan woman has not improved under this fake equal rights pact, because when her husband is alive, she has no rights. When he dies, she has no rights to any property, including her own. In other words, Ugandan women have no rights at all, and the United Nations should be breathing down the African Union's neck to get them to enforce all of the articles of the Maputo Protocol, no exceptions granted.

On the occasion of Mawlid, the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, a young 23-year-old former columnist for Saudi Arabia's Al-Bilad newspaper tweeted a conversation he imagined he would have if he were to meet the Prophet Muhammad.
-On your birthday, I will say that I have loved the rebel in you, that you've always been a source of inspiration to me, and that I do not like the halos of divinity around you. I shall not pray for you.
-On your birthday, I find you wherever I turn. I will say that I have loved aspects of you, hated others, and could not understand many more.
-On your birthday, I shall not bow to you. I shall not kiss your hand. Rather, I shall shake it as equals do, and smile at you as you smile at me. I shall speak to you as a friend, no more.
Almost immediately after the posts he was running for his life. He hopped a plane in Jeddah hoping to reach New Zealand. In Malaysia, where he had to change planes, he was stopped and held until a private plane arrived to take him back home to Saudi Arabia. Now, he sits in a Saudi jail awaiting a possible death sentence.
Yes, death.
Saudi cleric Nasser al-Omar called for Kashgari to be tried for apostasy. Outrageous, I first thought, living here in the Western world. Although I don't believe that the tweets validate in labeling Kahsgari as an apostate even if he did insult the Prophet Muhammad, let's just agree with al-Omar's point of view. If Kashgari is an apostate like al-Omar says, we must look into what Islam says about capital punishment, apostasy and those two linked together.
The Qur'an states: "…Take not life, which God has made sacred, except by way of justice and law. Thus does He command you, so that you may learn wisdom" (6:151). Key words here are "by way of justice and law." It is clear that capital punishment can be applied by a court as long as it is justifiable and lawful, which fall under two crimes: intentional murder and Fasad fil-ardh, or spreading mischief in the land. The term "spreading mischief in the land" is generally interpreted as crimes that affect a community as a whole and destabilize society. These include treason/apostasy, terrorism, land, sea and air piracy, rape and adultery.
That being said, it must mean that al-Omar's argument to punish Kashgari with the death sentence for apostasy is valid, correct? No. What al-Omar fails to realize is how that ruling originated and under which circumstances.
During the time of war, if one were to abandon his Muslims by committing treason and declaring himself as an apostate and then fight against Muslims, it would be valid to punish the individual with the death sentence. However, Kashgari is not fighting against his home country, and as a result, is not committing treason. The problem rests in that al-Omar, along with many others, tie apostasy to treason instead of realizing that apostasy is not always linked to war and treason, especially not in this day and age. So, if he is an apostate, should the death sentence apply? Is speaking ill of the Prophet Muhammad considered an act of mischief large enough to punish Kashgari with capital punishment, given that he is considered an apostate? This is where I searched further to see what Islam says about punishments for the act of apostasy on its own, without being linked to treason.
In Surah 4: 137, the Qur'an reads, "Behold, as for those who come to believe, and then deny the truth, and again come to believe and again deny the truth and thereafter, grow stubborn in their denial of the truth, God will not forgive them, nor will He guide them in any way." With this passage it's evident that even after rejecting Islam twice, no punishment is prescribed for the apostate.
Furthermore, Dr. Maher Hathout, a leading American Muslim spokesperson, underscores in his recent book "In Pursuit of Justice: The Jurisprudence of Human Rights in Islam" that while apostasy may be a sin in the eyes of God, it is not considered criminal behavior.
Subhi Mahmassani, an Islam scholar and jurist from Lebanon, has observed that the death penalty was meant to apply not to simple acts of apostasy from Islam, but when apostasy was linked to an act of political betrayal of the community. The Prophet never killed anyone solely for apostasy. This being the case, the death penalty was not meant to apply to a simple change of faith but to punish acts such as treason, joining forces with the enemy and sedition. [Arkan Huquq al-Insan fi l-Islam (Bases of Human Rights in Islam), Beirut: Dar al-'Ilm li-l-Malayin, 1979, cited in Kamali, as above]
Executing a person because of conversion to another faith or out of faith clearly contradicts the Qur'an, the ultimate source of Islamic law. Without the apostasy being linked to treason that leads to a matter of national security or security of a Muslim community, capital punishment cannot be permitted.
The question now remains, if Islamic law prohibits capital punishment for apostasy, where did Muslims get the idea that it is valid? In Josef Van Ess's book "The Flowering of Muslim Theology" he observes this issue and the first execution of someone who spoke ill of the Prophet Muhammad. Dating back to the 8th Century, Syrian scholar Muhammad Ibn Said Al-Urdunni was executed for statements he made about the Prophet Muhammad. Al-Urdunni stated that, although Prophet Muhammad was the last prophet, if Allah wanted, He would and could create another Muhammad. He simply was stating that Allah, the Almighty, has the ability to do whatever he wants, which includes creating another Muhammad. It is as unknown as to whom exactly made the final decision to charge Al-Urdunni with apostasy, but the Syrian government issued the death sentence for disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad by even imagining that there could be another prophet after him. The intentions behind the Syrian government are unknown, however, one is to assume that they could have been trying to set an example for Muslim citizens—if Al-Urdunni is executed, people will not dare to speak ill of the Prophet. It seems that al-Omar is using the same philosophy of the 8th Century government in Syria. But we sit here now, in the 21st Century with the same problem that Syrians tried to squash in the 8th Century. So, does al-Omar really believe that the death sentence will in fact put fear in citizens from talking badly about the Prophet?
It is unfortunate that Muslim scholars don't stand together to stop al-Omar and the Saudi government from this to move forward. Apostasy is not the equivalent of treason. Kashagri wasn't out to destroy a Muslim community. There should not even be a trial. Under Islamic law, people of other faiths and people who leave Islam are not to be harmed.
The problem is that Saudi Arabia strives to both move forward in the world of high technology while they govern strict limitations and boundaries upontheir citizens. Their strong and strict Wahabbi interpretation of Islamic law will be a crutch for Muslims all over the world, especially the Western world, where Muslims constantly try to prove that Islam is a religion of peace and forgiveness and that Muslims can coexist in a world with other religions. The decision on Hamza Kahsgari's case will leave a mark. It can either be a huge step in the right direction or send Muslims back another ten.

We had a great time today meeting our TKGS student volunteers, who will be campaigning for us the next 10 weeks or so. This makes them our second group of student-volunteers this year! I am truly encouraged and inspired by them.
Teenagers are great people; one of our regular student volunteers Hazrul has been such a blessing to Ubi Kuching Project and continues to be, visiting the animals at the shop everyday to help out, helping out with animal rescue and not hesitating to enter drains and such just to save a wee kitten. Our RGS A-Hug girls get right down to cleaning cages (no joke when you are talking about pens that house kittens having diarrhoea) and have really genius ideas when it comes to publicity and raising awareness on better pet ownership.
I will be inviting our two groups of student-volunteers to guest-blog their experiences here. As you know, Andy, Aswat and myself started Ubi Kuching Project as volunteers who simply love the animals in our lives and neighbourhood. We have learnt so much, and are still learning through every step of the journey. Likewise, every volunteer that is with us at Ubi Kuching Project goes through the same learning journey - knowing more about animals, about working in animal welfare and adoption. We hope to share our learning journeys with our readers so you too can be inspired to volunteer for animal welfare and advocacy.

Graffiti has been at odds with the art world since its' beginning. Not only does graffiti's thrifty, anti-sell-out mentality continue to clash with the galleries' need for profit in order to subsist, but by its' illegal nature is forced to keep all discussions with the public to a bare minimum. However, graffiti's difficulty to enter the current academic hierarchy shouldn't stop it from being seen as a relevant art form, for it helps produce several acclaimed artists, has a large audience and is an effective representation of societal groups and mindsets.
The idea that graffiti can produce noteworthy art and artists is not necessarily a new one; Basquiat and Haring opened the doors for writers into the art world, but the movement lacked the momentum, or rather the maturity, to generate a sufficient acceptance in the art milieu to keep those doors fully open, resulting in the recognition of graffiti individuals rather than the movement as a whole. Afterwards, however, the culture kept moving forward, organizing galleries, magazines and festivals, finding ways for graffiti writers to subsist and develop their work. While street art has made itself a solid place in the contemporary art world, with Vik Muniz praising Os Gemeos in the latest issue of Bomb (no 102) and an article in the latest Art Newspaper (no 226) titled "Walls Come Tumbling Down - Has street art finally gone mainstream? A plethora of recent shows might suggest so", graffiti also finds itself creeping in, with a full page ad for Retna in ArtForum, graffiti on the cover of Art & Australia and Artnet's "Urban Scrawl: Graffiti and Streets", Fondation Cartier's "Né dans la rue" and MOCA's "Art in the streets" shows. Although the art world appears increasingly interested not so much in the graffiti artist as an individual but rather in the graffiti movement as a whole, certain artists, namely Steve Powers, Dash Snow (RIP) and Barry McGee, have been able to pierce through as a new generation of artists rooted in graffiti, with additional names such as Horfe, Lush and Swampy gaining attention.
Not only does graffiti have increasingly recognized artists, though, but it also has a steady audience. Asides from the hundreds of millions of people who see it every day, through movies, magazines and the internet, people can look at their favorite writers' work; and they do. Not only that, but graffiti festivals attract big crowds all over the world. Graffiti's clientele, mainly composed of adolescent boys, go to all types of forums and blogs, buy magazines and videos, and look at it in person as well. Although it may not be a very adult audience, it doesn't stop it from being a relevant visual medium, just as punk or dubstep qualify as music.
But the contemporary art world is interested in more than art for art's sake; it's looking for an overall representation of society, both of the individual and of the world as a whole. While the art that generates the highest revenues is that which appeals the most to those with the most wealth, with Damian Hirst coming to mind, it seems logical that the most plebeian medium would also be the cheapest to obtain. Graffiti, with its' grit and speed, shows anti-authoritarian beliefs, frustration and anger, but also a desire for something different, a world where all people are offered a voice and a DIY alternative to advertisement and exposition. It is a voice for those who feel unheard. It seems arrogant to deny a form of self expression its' validity. Self expression is rooted in a person's core, between their conscious and unconscious, and one may pass judgment on it and have preferences, but overlooking any form of it is also overlooking a slice of one's demography. If outsider and children art can sell for millions of dollars, and if we're to believe that the world is becoming more acceptant of one another, it would seem only fair to consider graffiti before rejecting it altogether.
It seems reasonable to say that because of its' contribution to the art world, its' steady stream of viewers and its' accurate depiction of a slice of society, graffiti is a relevant art form and deserves some consideration.

One of my next tasks here was working on this Shimpaku Juniper (Juniperus chinensis). In a nursery filled with pines (black, white, and five needle) this Large shimpaku is a unique piece of art. The movement, elegance and dead wood are very different than the powerful, stocky pines that fill the benches here at Daijuen.
(Shimpaku) (White Pine, a monster)
This tree has been here at Daijuen for two years and from what I can gather was collected some time ago. Shimpaku are native to Japan and make great bonsai. Unlike pines who's rough, thick bark are a primary characteristic of a quality tree, juniper bark is typically kept clean an smooth. They also typically have a great deal more dead wood than pines. The contrast of the whitish/grey dead wood and the rich color of the bark make for a very striking contrast. Combine that with its bright green scaly foliage and you have the makings of a great bonsai.
First, the tree is in need of being cleaning up, and there are some dead branches that will be jined as well.
The dead branches are shortened considerably; any remaining bark is removed down to the hard wood and they are cleaned off. Considering the amount of dead wood that already exists and more importantly the area in which these branches are located the jins are kept short and quite simple. After this, all the remaining dead wood is brushed, cleaned and later lime sulfur will be applied to preserve the wood.
After the jins are completed I can start work on the live bark. I remove the exfoliating bark by using a knife to gently get under the flaking pieces, secure with my finger and then pull the bark off in strips. The surface bark comes off quite easily and goes fast at first. There are also smaller thinner pieces that lie underneath. The same technique is used here being careful not the damage the underlying bark. The cambium is right beneath this dark reddish/brown bark, so be careful not the damage it. Once this is done I took a toothbrush and water and brushed all the bark off to clean it. Once it's been cleaned you can really see the "live vein" pop against the dead wood.
(before) (after)
Looking at the tree it is obvious to see that two foliage masses are a bit disjointed and the main foliage mass is too far from the center of the tree. The tree needed to be more compact. I was able to achieve this using a large clamp and a guide wire. I used the clamp to slowly and carefully pull down on the branch while I tighten the guide wire which is attached to a nearby jin. Doing this brought that portion of the tree back into the composition, making the tree more compact and producing some much needed unity between the two foliage masses.
The remaining part of the work was wiring all the branches and setting them into place. The objective here was to set the framework of the tree, not to create a finished product. I wanted to put the primary branches into place and fan out the secondary branches to let as much light into the tree as possible. A number of the branches were weak and in some areas branching was sparse. Most of the inner new shoots were left so that in the future a number of the weak branches can be cut back to those smaller shoots. This will produce healthier, more compact branching and tighten the foliage mass. This is most evident at the apex, where the branches are weak and far too long. Next year this tree will get cut back to the new growth which will be the first step in the refinement process.
See how with the picture on the left it almost feels like the tree is going to fall over onto it's "elbow". With the new design and that main branch pulled down it's much more centered and the tree seems much more stable and balanced. It's a much more compact desing and the two foliage masses flow together. With so many refined trees here at Daijuen it is a real treat to get to work on a tree like this. It's nice to have more of an influence on where the future of the tree goes, and get to make some changes that have an real impact. I really enjoyed this one.

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Mat. 18:20
In an anti-Christian move Fidel has ordered "forcibly" the closure of two churches in the eastern provinces of Guantánamo and Holguín. The article cites a new legislation that requires that all home churches register with the authorities. The growth of home churches has been increasing steadily since 1989, specifically Protestant based worshipers…and this worries the commies. It undermines the revolution, and there can only be one demi-god in Cuba.
Cuba Shuts Down Churches Amid Controversy Over Law, Group Reports
HAVANA, CUBA (BosNewsLife)-- The Communist government of Cuba has closed down at least three Protestant churches following new "harsh legislation" on house churches, a religious rights group said Monday, January 9. Read the rest of the story here.

PSO2 JP, ship2. FI/HU/RA/BR/BO 75/75/75/75/71
Literally every scene in Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone movie. I don't care much for the storyline, but whoever directed/storyboarded this movie is amazing at making the vision/book comes to life.
My favorite scene has to be this one, where Harry was looking out the window from his Dormitory; there's a sense of belonging, yet at the same time a sense of forlornness, but then he smiled as the camera panned to the outside of the school which signified a glimpse of hope or new beginnings.
99% of people won't have any idea what I'm talking about, they'll be like, "WTF is this guy smoking". That's how the scenes in this movie made me feel and that's that.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

'Bachelor In Paradise' Recap: Caila Steals Jared's Heart — & Breaks Emily's
'Bachelor in Paradise' picked up right where last week left off — with Evan interrupting Amanda's date with Josh mid-makeout, to ask her on a date. The shocker? She said yes.
Amanda couldn't have actually been nicer to Evan. Not only did she come over and chat with him, she told him that she was really impressed with him but he was a little too late — and she wanted to focus on Josh. She cried because she felt so bad, which is really sad — and he somehow took that as a glimmer of hope. Well, that's awkward. Josh really couldn't have cared less, because well… pizza. Anyways, on to the rose ceremony (is it still called that on this?)
'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 3: Pics
Evan didn't really let it go though; before the roses were handed out, he grabbed Amanda from (a very sweaty) Josh again to warn her about Andi Dorfman's book that claimed Josh is verbally abusive. Naturally, Josh found out about their talk and approached him. Basically, Evan just kept telling him he seemed "polished." Josh told him the book was "a fictional story." Nick also took the chance to warn Amanda but definitely seemed more positive than Evan — he literally just told her to ask the right questions.
Lace chose Grant; Izzy chose Vinny; Emily chose Jared; Amanda chose Josh; Sarah chose Daniel; Carly chose Evan(platonic only!); and Haley chose Nick (because he deserves love!). Yup, that meant that Brandon and Christian were sent packing.
But the next day changed everything: Caila arrived. She immediately clicked with Jared and chose him for the date. Naturally, he was a gentleman and told Emily he felt he should go. Naturally, he had a great time with Caila — they went horseback riding and made out on the beach. When he got back, he was honest with Emily and while he couldn't be more sweet, Emily was still heartbroken.
Grant, Lace, Izzy and Vinny got the first double date night out, went to a foam party, and nearly got into a fight. Meanwhile, Sarah and Carly invited Daniel and Evan over for drinking games. Evan still really liked her and totally went in for a kiss and was shot down — but he was clearly more drunk than we knew! They ended up calling medical because he wouldn't wake up; but when Carly got there, he was fine… and ended up hitting on her. Oh and it worked. Confused? Me too.
This week's episode ended with Jared and Caila playing a flirty game of poker… And Ashley I. returned because she was still in love with Jared. She said they have kissed, but she never told him she was coming. So naturally we'll see that all go down tomorrow night.

Soviet Union: Artur Kaap
Artur Kaap (1878-1952) was an Estonian composer of considerable import. He studied organ and composition. After work in Russia he returned to Estonia and taught at the Tallinn Conservatory. His influence upon modern Estonian music is considerable. Two of his most important symphonic works utilize organ.
This postal card was issued by the Soviet Union in 1978 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth. The postage imprint features an organ facade; the left side of the obverse depicts Kaap.
Kaap was born in Suure-Jaani, Estonia. The organ depicted on the post card seems to be the organ in the Orthodox church there. A music festival now takes place in the town; the church's organ is also used during the Estonian organ festival.

So how is the work going in your part of the vineyard? they are going very well and I am surprisingly happy and tired at the same time. I can't put my head down as I kneel or I will drift away. Who are you teaching? we are teaching several people so far, but most of them are progressing slowly and others are like ( this is my first time here I like it, what do I need to do to become a member.) How are things with your Companion? they are great he will be going home after Diana goes into the MTC and he has told me that he wants me to be a better missionary than he was. and better than all the missionary's the members remember. Any more fun stories? well just last night I scared one of the Elders in the apartment. what I did was after they had settled down for the night I swung open the door and jumped onto his bed and asked him in a deep voice to give me a hug. and he was screaming and said no get away. but we all had a good laugh this morning. any Spiritual stories? we were teaching a lady (2nd visit) we had invited her to be baptized and she said yes, then she asked us to help her prepare for it by reading with her and helping her understand.
so Daddy is trying to play mach maker is he well..... I am to busy to worry about that right now I am even to busy to eat at times. oh another funny story it was a dream. Elder Silbas my companion is a Zone leader and as I said he is about to go home (next transfer) and in my dream we got a call from President Tilleman and after he told Elder Silbas where he was going He started to talk to me then he said "Elder Ziegler you will be replacing Elder Silbas as Zone leader!" and all I said was "Are you kidding?!?!?!?" and with that all the elders had a big roomer. any way how are things there? I don't really get much info and I feel so far out of the loop I have no idea there is one let alone where it might be. Well I need to E-mail my sisters TE AMO MAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thread: Why CryEngine?
26/09/2015 #21
Re: Why CryEngine?
I think its easier to say what are the advantages of Cryengine. On a face value level the only real arguable superiority Crynengine has over unreal is the real time lighting abilities, but even that is not really true, as Unreal is easily just as powerful with lighting and at the end of the day is going to give the same results.
My thing (and a reason for many) is Unreal 4 is a lot easier to use and has amazing documentation and support from Epic. Cryengine does not. Part of the reason its an industry favorite is because of how accessible and intuitive it is. Even if Cryengine were better, its a pain in the ass to use and most people don't got time for that.
Don't get me wrong, Cryengine is a solid engine and I'm not trying to imply otherwise, but its more of a 'niche' engine and will more then likely never lead the industry.Retired Developer

Re: Why CryEngine?
Apple, I don't know anything about either of these engines. But logically speaking, since they have already put in so much work in cry engine wouldn't it be a waste of time if they switched to unity regardless of quality and ease of use? I mean if we look at the screenshots the game looks beautiful enough that it satisfies a lot of people. The new k98k render was an eye candy for me. So why do you think that they should switch to unity after all the work they put into cry engine to get this far with the game development? I mean they do have to start from scratch in unity right?
Also please don't mistake my choice of words for dissing you, I'm just curious and you clearly know about stuff.With Every Giant Lies A Long, Dark Shadow

Re: Why CryEngine?
Unreal not Unity
I don't think Traction Wars should switch engines, I just like to joke about it because I have extensive experience in Unreal 4 and shipped games with it, so I'm probably biased. Though at the same time my opinions come from experience with both engines, as well as the way things are going in the industry.
But yea it would be sillyness for Traction Wars to switch. Although I would like to say that what I said before doesn't really relate to Traction Wars at all, it more so relates to the game engines themselves through comparison as a separate debate.Retired Developer

Re: Why CryEngine?
Sorry, I was no trying to say that you should switch engine. I just ask the question. Like I sayed we see it times and times again that dev. teams switch to Unreal And I was just thinking that there must be a reason for that. At the end of the day, we all wish at this game will be the best WW2 FPS ever. That is why we here.. But when I see the trend to change in the middle of the production, then I am also worried at the cryEngine will fall short. And if they are not quite too late, I think that it is important to take the debate. I seems to me that Unreal is faster in the development. To put new features in the engine. And how easy is it to update the engine? Like from CryEnigen 2 to CryEngine 3?.... UnrealEngine 3 to UnrealEngine 4? When it come to realistic lookings games, I don't agree with people on Kingdom Come : Deliverance. I did some research and was pretty impressed by this
12/10/2015 #27
Re: Why CryEngine?
I'm sorry but it's a strange topic to talk about since we definitely won't change engine.
It's a personal preference; we can argue over visuals all we want, but it comes down to what fits our needs. Again, I think the reason those other games moved from CE to UE is down to either 1) better support on certain areas though Crytek have been increasingly better at it, 2) better deal money-wise, though it's not as good as it seems on UE once you do some calculations on it, 3) better knowledge of the tools, as the change from UE3 -> UE4 isn't that big from what I understand, vs. the difference from old CryEngine pre-3.5 -> CryENGINE (4th iteration)
Though this is all just a personal opinion. I could show you a ton of stuff the CE could do that's (visually) superior to what UE can do, just as I could find a bunch of stuff that UE could do better than the CE; it's a never ending discussion I'm afraid, but the good thing about it is that it drives both companies to deliver better technology for the consumer and studios.
The last sequence of your video can any engine do with enough time.
Here's (to me) a more impressive video of what CE can do at least, and take not of the way light works - it's unprecedented in my opinion!

Observer column: 07 October 2016
Shopping Around
Retail is an important part of any town centre. But our town centres are changing fast. Squeezed by out-of-town retail parks and internet sales, footfall and sales in all town centres have been declining consistently for many years. Online sales have grown from less than two percent of total purchases to over 15% last year. So our town centres have changed: more cafes and clothing shops, fewer shops selling 'comparison' goods.
In Hastings, we have three principal retail centres: Hastings Town Centre, St Leonards Town Centre, and the Old Town. In Hastings Town Centre, Priory Meadow is fully let, apart from the old BHS store, and there are potential tenants lined up for that as soon as the building is released. The Old Town rarely has vacant shops, and does well as the place tourists are most likely to visit. With regeneration of the seafront, the America Ground around Trinity Triangle has undergone a renaissance, with entertainment venues such as the Printworks, quality independent shops, and appealing cafes appearing there.
St Leonards Town centre does have a higher proportion of empty shops than other areas at the moment, particularly King's Road, but new businesses are moving in. Norman Road especially is establishing itself as a fashionable browsing centre, with cafes, antiques, galleries and the Kino-Teatr restaurant & cinema attracting people there.
Even Queen's Road is beginning to change. Viewed as the rather sad, down-at-heel entrance to the town centre for too long, it's establishing itself as a new destination. Recent businesses taking on formerly dilapidated or empty shops include Queen's Road Emporium, a couple of new licensed premises including the refurbished Imperial and Bar None, cafes such as The Cookhouse, Cafe Rue de Perra and the Oregano Leaf, along with several quirky new shops, selling anything from antiques and furniture to chocolate.
The council's 'Grotbusting' programme helps here too, forcing property owners to improve the look of their premises and make the place more attractive to anyone wanting to set up shop. Some businesses, such as Kino-Teatr, benefited from the council's SUCCESS grants programme - that's finished now, but we'll keep looking for new funding sources for similar schemes. But all of this happens because of the ingenuity and enthusiasm of those wanting to try their hand at retail and catering, often for the first time.
Changes in the way we shop and work have had mixed effects. Many of the high street chains that dominated our town centres over the last 30 years have declined or disappeared, but this has allowed more independent shops to return. Far fewer people are employed in conventional, full time permanent jobs than they used to be, which, while leading to decreased job security, has led to more people becoming self-employed, and prepared to have a go at something new, like running a shop. Sometimes that doesn't work out, but often it does, and formerly run-down areas get more interesting, become somewhere to visit, shop and enjoy.
So as our town centres continue to change, the creative spirit that flourishes in Hastings will exploit those changes. We can't all make a living just by selling stuff to each other, there has to be more to a local economy than that. But retail in Hastings is far from dying - it's just changing, and some would say for the better.

NBNK Investments has submitted a revised proposal to Lloyds Banking Group to buy 632 of its branches.
Lloyds group has until November 2013 to complete the sale to meet European Commission rules.
The Co-operative Group is in talks with Lloyds group about acquiring its branches but questions have been raised about the suitability of its board and whether the sale will happen.
It is believed Lloyds group rejected a cash offer of about £1.5bn from NBNK last year. NBNK is now offering Lloyds group shareholders a stake in the new bank – or the equivalent in cash – via an alternative demerger structure.
Peter Levene, chairman of NBNK and former Lloyd's group chairman, says: "NBNK offers none of the downsides to Lloyds group of a standalone initial public offering.
"We have the right board, management, strategy and experience to run and grow a large scale banking operation and achieve our plans for Project Verde. Our shareholders are supportive of our objectives."
But a Lloyds group spokeswoman says: "The group acknowledges receipt of a letter outlining a revised proposal from NBNK. But we continue to negotiate solely with The Co-operative Group and are continuing to prepare for a divestment through an initial public offering."

The question that still strikes me is when I get asked,
"What happened?"
But today I guess when I took a trip down our memory lane again, it came by as a real bittersweet moment.
I know for once, even when no one believes that I'm getting through.
I will 🙂

Beginning today, October 1, we'll be delving into one of the most interesting OT books, Isaiah. Why do I say that?
Well, the book of Isaiah has lots of significance. It's kind of like a "Bible within the Bible." In other words, the 66 chapters of Isaiah represent what many scholars believe a correlation to the 66 books of the Bible. For example, the first 39 chapters of Isaiah talk of jusgement upon immoral people. The next 27 chapters talk more of a message of hope from the coming Messiah. Did you realize there are 39 OT books and 27 NT books?
For more background, there's a very interesting page called "Isaiah – The Wheel Within the Wheel."
It's a rather large book and the chapters can be lengthy. It's going to require some level of commitment to get through, but the rewards will be great!
Remember the reason we're doing this together – to read God's Word. Don't be overwhelmed by Isaiah. Tha main point is to be in the Word daily. Just set aside about 15-20 mintues to read through the chapter. Before you read, ask God to show you one or two things to focus on. Don't feel like you have to understand the entire meaning behind every single verse. Ask Him – He will show you.
Ideally, put together an email and send it to the others in your accountability group. What God shows you may be important to someone else in the group. We need each other.
Just honoring Him with the effort and obedience of reading just a chapter a day will change your day.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) had nothing but good things to say about President-elect Trump and the way Trump is assembling his cabinet.
Wednesday, during a Washington D.C. radio talk show interview with host Larry O'Connor, Senator Cruz was asked for his assessment of Trump's cabinet and whether or not he thought it was a conservative cabinet.
Senator Cruz responded, "Well, I certainly hope so and I tell you I am excited. I think we have an opportunity to do a great deal of good. We have been entrusted with something that has rarely happened in our nation's history, which is that the Republicans have been elected by the American people and given control of the White House, of every executive branch, both houses of Congress…, and we [have] a historic opportunity. And my hope, Larry, is that we deliver."
Cruz described the Trump cabinet as "a serious cabinet, a cabinet of highly qualified individuals, and it is a cabinet of strong conservatives. The president-elect should be commended for bringing together a team of all-stars."
Cruz said this about the Trump cabinet, "I think that bodes really well for the commitment to carry through on the promises we made."
Senator Cruz also praised Trump as a president, saying, "I tell you that I have been really pleased and really impressed with President-elect Trump."
Cruz, in the almost seventeen-minute radio interview, spoke on many topics, including the present issue with Israel/U.S. relations.
On the Obamacare repeal, Cruz stated, "It was one of the fundamental reasons why I ran for the Senate and promised the people of Texas that I would fight every day to repeal Obamacare. I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to see us on the verge of delivering on that promise."

Notre Dame des Victoires
The Blessed Virgin made me feel it was really herself who smiled on me and brought about my cure. I understood she was watching over me, that I was her child.
The Blog of an English Catholic Priest
The Blessed Virgin made me feel it was really herself who smiled on me and brought about my cure. I understood she was watching over me, that I was her child.
Another (frequent) visitor, and friend of the Abbe Desgennettes, was Father Ignatius Spencer C.P., who saw the link between the Archconfraternity of Our Lady of Victories (whose full title was "... for the conversion of sinners") and his own movement of prayer for the conversion of England. A large ex-voto to the right of the sanctuary, placed there "by three English convert ladies", records this link.
Reader from Orlando, Florida, here. I was in Paris with my wife and daughter last August and we made a special point to visit Our Lady of Victories. I love that church!
Unfortunately an ugly new modern altar was built recently...
Does anyone know where one can get a statue of Our Lady of Victories?
Andrew - I got mine in the shop opposite the basilica, but I'm not sure about outside Paris...
Dear Father,
Thank you for this very uplifting report on OLV. I recall reading somewhere that on the night of the consecration of the parish to Our Lady, the congregation (which was immense, itself a miracle considering that only a few had been present that morning to hear the announcement of the consecration) was unresponsive until Fr Desgenettes went to the statue of Our Lady and began to recite the Litany of Loretto: when he reached the words "Refuge of Sinners..." it is said the congregation was overcome, and loud cries imploring Our Lady's help were uttered. The rest, as they say, is history.
Another very famous client was Ven. Francis Libermann, re-founder of the Holy Ghost Fathers. It is said that he and his companions finalized their plans for the congregation there at OLV. It seems to me that OLV was actually the spiritual powerhouse of Paris during much of the XIXth Century, anyway.

Today is the first day since we moved here that I have not been outside. It's just too cold and I cant be bothered with the wrapping up, de-icing the car,trudging through snow and attempting to drive back up our slippery driveway in temps of -15c. Its just not worth it!
So instead I decorated our flat for Christmas whilst listening to Seasonal songs,drinking mulled wine.
p.s you can download some nice christmas wrapping paper here

Driving past the long-vacant property formerly known as Molly Murphy's and The Sandpiper, I caught a glimpse of the demolition underway. As the wood siding came off, the original concrete building had the logo "Athena Tone Club" exposed. I'm curious about this business. What was it, and how long was it active?
As far back as I can remember, it'd only housed restaurants. The last block of concrete will come down by the time my email's sent, but maybe we can get one more shot at learning the history of this building before another one takes its place.
— Carrie R., via email.
The best match we found in the Mail Tribune's extensive, albeit not-quite-comprehensive business directory archive was Athena's Health Spa, apparently active in the early 1970s.
Unfortunately, that's close to all we know about the business, so we have no choice but to leave the "Tone Club" as a mystery for now. If other readers have memories of the business, we'll gladly share what we learn in a follow-up.
The business was listed between in Polk directories between 1971 to 1973 as "Athena Health Spa" with a proprietor listed as Dick Costelow. In 1972 and 1973 phone books we found "Athena's Health Spa" in the white pages, though nothing in the yellow pages for the business during those years.
By 1974, the 1841 E. Barnett Road address was listed as vacant. It wasn't until 1977 that Inland Wharf opened at the location, beginning a long string of restaurants at the location. Those restaurants most famously included The Sandpiper in the late '70s and '80s, and concluded with Molly Murphy's in 2008. The building's been vacant ever since.
County property records show the building was built in 1955, and directories show it was home to Awol Grocery until 1969.

Ultimately, numismatics is history and it's difficult to get much more historic than lot 1111 in the Geoffrey Bell Auctions Ltd. Toronto Coin Expo 2017 Fall Sale, a rare Hudson's Bay Company cheque. With this piece you link the early beginnings of Canada as we know it today through a numismatic document connected to the iconic Hudson's Bay Company.
It is not common to see a cheque over 327 years old. It is certainly not common to see a cheque connected to the Hudson's Bay Company of that age. And to think it has a Canadian connection. Geoffrey Bell Auctions is proud to feature such a document. This note (cheque) is dated 1690 and was a note of one of the Company's bankers, Stephen Evans (Evance). He was elected a Governor of the HBC in 1692.
The note is endorsed by its guarantors, all shareholders in the HBC. The signatories are E. Dering, Dep. Gov, HBC, Samuel Clarke, Dep Gov, elected in 1692 to succeed Sir Edward Dering, A.Hayward?, Samuel Foote, Samuel Cudworth, member of the Committee, HBC, Thomas Chambers, and Edward West.
It is interesting that Chambers led a movement against the Committee, particularly the Deputy Governor Dering. In June 1690, the HBC decided to sell off some of its fur inventory at what Chambers believed to be advantageous prices to a Thomas Glover. Chambers offered 200 pounds more but was refused by the Committee. Chambers accused the Committee and Dering of improper handling of the sale, but his accusation was rejected. Chambers was then deprived of his Committee member payments that prevented sale of his stock. In 1692, Chambers recovered control of his stock, but his relationship with the Company ended. Edward West was the HBC's warehouse keeper who soon was to be promoted to Committee man.
This note (cheque) is payable to William Potter, the Company's accountant. In 1690, he took over the position of Company's Secretary, thus holding down two positions. Potter was to earn 100 pounds a year as opposed to the 50 pounds that he and the ex Secretary used to make. This note accounts for his first half year's pay. In June 1690, Potter was charged with checking over the Act of 1690, confirming the Company charter.
The only previous known Hudson's Bay Company cheque similar to this specimen was a note issued to a mariner, again in 1690. The Bank of Canada purchased that specimen in 2003 for several thousand dollars. This is the ultimate opportunity to purchase such a historical, numismatic document. Accompanying this exceptional specimen is a package of historical background notes.
The Toronto Coin Expo 2017 Fall Sale is approaching quickly, so mark your calendars for September 28th and 29th, whether you're attending in person or online. And be sure to follow the action on Facebook and Twitter.

Over It - Silverstrand CD Review
In comparison to the aforementioned bands, Over It are musical gods, but that's not saying much, now is it? Instead of creating saccharine sweet, tooth decaying crap, Over It have actually managed to pull off a decently mature pop punk sound. It should be noted, though, that when I say mature, I'm only talking within the confines of the pop punk musical subdivision. If we were comparing Over It to some of the non-throwaway genres out there, they'd be taking a beating that not even the most masochistic among us would want to watch, so for their sake let's only examine this cd in the isolation of the pop punk genre.
There are definitely a decent share of weak moments to be found on this release, a few examples being the hopelessly lame intro song, the unnecessary and stupid as all hell background keys on "Chef Yan," and the sometimes cheesy lyrics (complete with "Oooohhhs" to fill some of the spaces in the songs). Yes, I do know that Over It's lyrics are actually much more mature than what comes from the majority of their peers, but it's still a little hard to take anything the band has to say too seriously. Beyond these weaknesses, however, you will find some gargantuan hooks that will reel you in with every listen and a good share of vocals so melodic and sing-a-long-ish that you'll be humming right along in no time, if not outright singing along with them. The cynic in response might ask, "So what? Even the crappy pop punk bands have big hooks and melodic vocals."
The difference, and this is the difference that keeps Over It out of the pop punk cesspool, so it's important, is that the hooks and vocals on Silverstrand are not simply manufactured, slapped together junk—the content of this disc actually feels like it was put together by a band that knows how to write a song. It might not be noticeable upon first listen, but Over It can write catchy songs all on their own, unlike some other similar bands, and they can do it with minimal amounts of cliché usage. This is what separates them from the rest of the garbage being put out by their peers.
Silverstrand is not a perfect cd, though—not by a long shot. It's also not a perfect pop punk cd, but right now it's probably the best you're going to find coming out of this genre. So if you crave something poppy, something punky, and not full of suck, then this release is definitely the way to go.

"We beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start. Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas, and the result was nil—until we let go absolutely."
—Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 58.
Some exist in a polar world—I know, for I'm one like this. All or nothing seems to be the way; middle-ground is a hard achievement. But this, for me, is the greatest thing for there is power in powerlessness; a hope beyond reason—strength where there should otherwise be embarrassment. It's the topic of godly paradox; a holy conundrum only God could solve.
I think I must have learned the most I ever have in my eleven months in the rooms of AA. Recovering more from a marriage breakdown than from horrendous alcoholism I'll still not touch a drink. I've never ever missed it and don't think I ever will. And a promise I made my mother on the 8th of October, 2003, I'll never break.
But, what I learned in those rooms was not so much information for the alcohol-infirmed; it was the advice and group-help for living—real living I mean; a legacy for life—honest-to-the-core living that I'd never really known—that made the real difference, and the tolerance that could only truly come from, what I now know, Jesus. (And some people say Christians are "judgmental.")
The nudge in life over that chasm of despair into the gaping abyss below, the crippling loss, is the greatest paradox known to humankind—from death to life; finally—yet so unexpected! Rhetorically, why does it take such dire straits to engender the desperate reach for God, allowing him finally to love us? It's a mystery to me, one I'm utterly thankful for.
There is a kind of heaven in the knowledge that you can't have something—that one thing in this world is untouchably off-limits. When most would claw at the vestiges of their past, never truly wanting to accept the giving up of that thing that held them, it is Jesus that stands between—Jesus, the Answer. Jesus, alone, sets the person free. His miracles are as fresh tomorrow as they were nearly 2,000 years ago when he, God who became flesh, graced the earth. Amazingly, he creates a bliss-filled joy out of an otherwise void.
It is to his glory alone that we could be so convicted—beyond our own sympathetically, pitiful, pathetic selves. For when he'd revealed himself to us, and we believed and sought his forgiveness and then promised our allegiance... he released from us the burdens of the most powerful sins... and suddenly we were free. Yes, for real!
"Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
—John 8:34b-36 (TNIV).
And this is what we see in those who truly know Jesus. They are free indeed. Now, does this Jesus:
è Work on a situational basis?
è Work with criminals?
è Forgive everyone who earnestly seeks him?
è Cleanse us of all unrighteousness according to the moment and for eternity?
è Help us live tolerantly?
è Want us to surrender all our hopeless troubles to him?
è Sanctify us one-day-at-a-time for the rest of our lives?
è Wish for us to live in harmony with all others?
è Give us true freedom from that which enslaves us?
We should relate; all of these above apply to each one of us. He's the only One.
