Three Rings -- signage and Secret Room additions
We recently went below the sea, into the treacherous waters, to find the ever elusive Nautilus at Three Rings Design.... and put in a few more things.First off: Signage.We recently went below the sea, into the treacherous waters, to find the ever elusive Nautilus at Three Rings Design.... and put in a few more things.
First off: Signage.
One thing that every good themed space needs are signs to tell you where you are and where you are not. Appropriately designed doorway embellishments and back light signs were therefore added to the "Nautilus" space.
Here you can see the sign on the doorway as you enter the space...
And the sign on the doorway as you leave the space and go back to your, well.... read the sign.....
And then, as everyone knows, it is very important to clearly mark the Airlock door in your office. In case of emergency.
With all the doorways (that we want people to know about) marked, we moved to the secret room and Captain's Lounge to install the new Robo-Closet.
A Robo-Closet is just as it sounds, a closet to keep your robot in. This Robo Closet door has the nice added feature of the built-in roll up door that is suited exactly to the robot. No more opening the door, now just simply call your robot and the roll-up door will open, allowing your electronically controlled slave, friend or overlord, however the case may be, emerge to great you.
As you can see, a custom Robo-Closet enhances the beauty of any Secret Room and/or Captain's Lounge. Though, as we say here at Because We Can, a room can always be enhanced upon more. So we added these two delightful little tables to the room.
A room previously void of tables, so they were welcomed with wide robot arms.

|July 6, 1867
|FRANKLIN, Tennessee
|The Colored League, Franklin
|"Civil War and Reconstruction," Juniata College
|2.8 (5 votes)
In July of 1867, African-Americans began their gradual assimilation into the United States in Tennessee. A large number of black Tennesseans joined The Colored League which advocated for civil rights and strongly supported the Republican Party. In Franklin, Tennessee, the League had a strong presence. In early July, African-American members of this group paraded around the outskirts of town where they were interrupted by two other ex-slaves who were Conservatives, a group that were willingly to grant Confederates amnesty following the Civil War. This group mainly consisted of Confederates. The Colored League was a radical group and pursued harsh measures against ex-Confederates. Tempers flared when the two men and the League came into contact. Shots were fired. Although no one was hurt the demonstration was broken up.
After a meeting to resolve the conflict on July 6 failed, the two groups armed themselves as anger boiled over as a result of arguments stated in the political discussion. Ex-Confederates of the Conservative Party armed themselves to the teeth and prepared for battle. Similar action was taken by the League. Late in the evening, The Colored League marched past these former soldiers who were assembled outside their leader's house (Colonel House). In a report written afterwards by Major General W. Martin, he alleges a shot was first fired by a Conservative. With this, three pistols shoots were fired at Conservatives which resulted in "a volley from the entire Conservative Party and that was returned by the armed men of the Colored League." Martin did not state the total number of men killed on either side but remarked that men on both sides fell in the shooting. Later on, Martin reported, "27 colored men colored men whose wounds were dressed by Dr. D.B.Cliff were wounded in the back or in the back part of the limbs" as they were running away from the members of the Conservative Party. This suggests the superior fire power of the former Confederates and the racial tension between the two groups which was typical for the Reconstruction time period. Poverty and the losing of the Civil War created resentment of freed slaves by many Southerners. In Colfax, Louisiana, 130 blacks were killed in riot between whites and African-Americans in 1873. The Civil War was over but the African-American fight for civil rights had begun.
Plans for Reconstruction in Tennessee began on January 21, 1864 in Nashville, Tennessee. With the state's occupation by Union troops, northern supporters began advocating for the restoration of Tennessee to the United States. This aroused tension at this, principally because there were prominent Confederates within its borders. This prevented the unification of Tennessee both as a state and as part of the U.S. Three years later, at the end of the Civil War, there still was a drastic division between the political ideologies of people within Tennessee.

I was delighted to see FileFinder Anywhere named "Best Executive Recruiting Software" by Business News Daily this week. BND reviewed "dozens" of options before giving first prize to FileFinder Anywhere, and they provide an in-depth review of our platform here.
The review is extensive and is entirely independent - we didn't pay for this or even know about it until the results were published - and is both (largely) complimentary and (occasionally) critical. We don't agree with some of the findings and are actually making changes imminently which will improve other areas that are criticised. The conclusion though - that FileFinder is the best product in our niche and that our support is excellent - is one that we certainly share!
Reviews of the various products in our market are extremely rare. However, our marketing team are regularly interviewing our clients and hearing kind words about the FileFinder product experience and Dillistone's service levels. Just this week, we published a detailed case study from a leading AESC member firm - a business that left us for a direct competitor and then came back. You'll find that review here. We are hearing feedback like this more and more and, frankly, we love it!
Anyway... we very much appreciate the accolade and I'd like to thank our team for all the hard work that's gone into winning this.
This has been a big week for us. A couple of days ago, we announced our annual results for 2016. We revealed that we signed up over 100 new clients on the platform last year, and that the largest executive search implementations in both the US and Europe were both of FileFinder systems. One was an entirely new client, one was an existing client upgrading. Both projects went extremely well.
We'll have more news next week....
Our 2017 research and analysis of recruiting software leads us to again recommend FileFinder Anywhere as our best pick for executive recruiting software.

The fondest memory most Detroit Tigers fans have of Frank Tanana is from the night he pitched the team to the 1987 American League East Division Championship. However, Tanana had a long and storied career before taking the mound for his hometown Tigers, including three All Star team selections, and a remarkable recovery from an injury that stripped most of the speed from his feared fastball.
If you want to watch Frank play ball these days, you'll have to cheer along with his grandchildren as he takes the field for the Highland Park Baptist Church softball team. And, if you're fortunate enough to speak with Frank before or after the game and ask him what it takes to be a great pitcher in the big leagues, he's likely to tell you one of the following five things.
1. Throw A Lot
We live in an era where nearly all athletes are attempting to gain an advantage in their respective sports by engaging in some form of resistance training. However, in an era that preceded virtually all forms of weight training be Major League players, Frank had fastball that topped 100 miles per hour, and he developed it the old fashioned way; he threw hard, and he threw often.
"I know from my perspective, a lot muscles are developed from throwing," Frank said. "Then with the use of your entire body to throw that hard, you really need to use your legs and work on your coordination, and you develop into a hard thrower. It's not something that you just do. You have to develop and train, but I always did it by throwing a lot, and I was fortunate to have good mechanics and a real fluid delivery and follow through, and I was just able to develop and have a strong body."
2. Take Time Off For Other Sports
Sports specialization is encouraged by coaches of nearly all sports under the assumption that playing and practicing a single sport all year yields greater performance benefits than doing so only seasonally. However, the mechanics of pitching are very unique and heavily taxing to the body, so Frank encourages participation in other sports as a means of giving a pitcher some time to recuperate.
"My recommendation would be that pitchers play in the spring and play in the summer, but let the arm rest in the fall and winter," Frank advised. "They should play other sports to diversify themselves and enjoy. A lot of kids pitch year round, and I don't see that as being good for pitchers' arms. Nothing beats practice and throwing and playing, but the body needs rest. We went hard for five months and then played other sports, so we weren't doing that unnatural throwing motion all year round. If you do that, you're giving your body a chance to develop and then rest."
3. Work Your Legs
When assessing pitching power, all of the emphasis is usually given to a pitcher's arm strength. Surprisingly, less attention is paid to other extremities, the legs, which are responsible for generating a great deal of the torque involved in the pitching motion. In fact, when Frank talks about pitching power, the discussion of strength begins and ends with the legs.
"If you're pitching and you're going through the pitching motion, your legs are your base and your solid foundation," Frank said. "You're driving off one leg and landing on another. Without strong legs, any athlete really goes nowhere, but this is especially true of a pitcher. Your legs are going to help carry and alleviate some of the stress as you drive toward the plate, and your legs also need to be strong to help the arm and take the pressure off of it. Remember, you're not an arm thrower; you're a full body thrower. That sort of leg strength comes from things like cycling and running, or simply from being active."
4. Develop Total Control
In the context of pitching, power is meaningless if you can't get the ball over the plate. By the same token, a lack of velocity doesn't mean you can't be a standout on the mound; you simply need mastery over the flight of the ball. Rather than relying simply on speed to get batters out, Frank varied his deliveries to the plate in order to keep batters guessing.
"I'd just go into practice and experiment with different speeds and arm angles to give hitters different looks," Frank explained. "I'd just say 'let's try this or let's try that,' and then throw a sidearm pitch or throw an overhand pitch. It was really trial and error. I was out there just trying different things and learning how to get comfortable. Everything I did was really built around a fastball, a curve and then just changing speeds."
5. Work Your Way Through Trouble
One of the unique features of Frank's baseball career was his recovery from the loss of his high-speed fastball, which would be a crippling blow to most professional baseball pitchers. Despite his injury, he stretched his baseball career to 21 years through reinventing himself as a finesse pitcher. Frank lengthy tenure in the Majors serves as yet another example of how limitations can be overcome if athletes are willing to work around them.
"The pitchers that can adapt last a little bit longer, and the ones that don't will be out of baseball," Frank warned. "It's a case-by-case basis. What I was able to do is not common at all in baseball. For someone to go from being a hard thrower to a finesse pitcher doesn't happen that often. It came from working hard doing more things than I did when I simply threw hard."
The Meijer State Games of Michigan is a multi-sport, Olympic-style event(s) that welcome athletes regardless of age or ability level. The Games embody the values of participation, sportsmanship and healthy living.

A storm. A stranger. A secret.
After a storm leaves handsome stranger Bryn Morgan stranded at Charlie's farmhouse she plans to keep her distance! But the night forges a bond between —until Bryn reveals is, in fact, Lord Carlisle! Can he show Charlie that their differences can bring them closer?
Amazon UK
My Thoughts…
A romantic tale of two people from differing backgrounds who find a connection in adversity.
Charlie is grief-stricken after the sudden loss of her much-loved grandmother, Bryn is reeling from trying to unravel his criminal uncle's latest scam. A storm and an injured dog brings them together, but when Charlie finds out why Bryn is in Australia, she wants nothing to do with him. Circumstances and Bryn's caring attitude change her mind, but trust doesn't come easy. Bryn's generous gesture gives Charlie a way out but he is keeping secrets from her, and romantic deeds may not be the way to win this woman's heart.
An easy to read romance, the plot is rooted in fairytale rather than reality, but if you accept this, the sentiments are genuine, the dogs lovable and Bryn, a gentleman. The characters are realistic even if their situation is unlikely and there is the desired happy ever after a fable like this demands.
Enjoyable summer-reading for the romantics.
I received a copy of this book from Mills & Boon via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

The AT22D range of Ceramic Bandpass Filters from Aaren Technology has joined the RF and microwave components portfolio at Aspen Electronics. The filter represents a low frequency design for ceramic technology with the 5 section Bandpass design having a centre frequency of 390MHz and features 6mm resonators.
The pass band is 30MHz with a rejection of 40dB at 300MHz and 480MHz and the insertion loss is 2.5dB max. Parts are available in surface mount or connectorised formats
Ceramic filters are made from high-dielectric constant ceramic resonators plus a capacitive coupling network to realise an "n" section cavity filter. The AT22D features 5 resonators, however the number of resonators can vary from 2 to 8 or more - dependent upon the required filter response.
Applications for this particular design could be related to any TETRA radio system requirement. However, given the wide frequency range over which these filters can be designed, applications can include, Cellular, PMR, Avionics or Defence, to name a few.
Ceramic filters are less expensive and smaller than either LC or cavity type filters. Typically available with a bandpass response, they are also available in "Notch" or band reject configurations. In addition ceramic designs can be configured as duplexers for transmit/receive applications.
Monoblock ceramic filters, formed from a single block of ceramic material are also available. This design of ceramic filter does not have a printed circuit board to secure their elements together, the entire block being surface mounted directly onto the circuit board.

Hot Dirt, Summer in the Country
Yesterday I went to check on the summer squash, shown here with a 12-inch ruler and a fat, yellow cucumber. How did I miss this monster? It looks remarkably like the Doomsday Machine in a Star Trek episode--the device Daniel calls 'the robot pyoom-pyoom.' It will be morphing into many dozen squash muffins in the near future.
Here's Daniel with his water pyoom-pyoom. 'Pyoom-pyoom' is his word for anything--from muskets to phasers--that fires high-velocity projectiles.
James, Hope, and Tess console themselves in Christian's absence (he's at Scout Camp this week) with some focused and sustained sprinkler running. Good times.
I wish I could insert a fragrance link. Aren't my Stargazer Lilies beautiful? Note how the close focus keeps all the weeds out of the image. Also note how I took and posted zero photos of Christian and me planting 12 trees and 18 bushes last Saturday. There's nothing like digging through rocky clay in 90-degree weather with 90% humidity to give you heat exhaustion, I tell you. The process hasn't been pretty, but my permaculture garden is on its way.

The last we heard of the upcoming EA-published sequel to DICE's Star Wars Battlefront series was in March when we were told that the official worldwide reveal will be happening on Saturday, April 15, at the Star Wars Celebration event.
However, fans will be excited to hear that they will be able to see the game a tiny bit sooner due to EA's Twitter account accidentally leaking the short 30-second ad above, which includes almost exclusively in-engine footage. Unfortunately, the video has since been removed but courtesy of YouTube user Leon Gaspar and Vimeo aficionado TheSpicenberg (via NeoGAF), the ad has been re-uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
As can be gleaned from the trailer, Star Wars Battlefront II will take the fight to all three trilogies of the Star Wars films. The trailer made it a point to squeeze in beloved characters from all eras of the saga, such as Yoda, Darth Maul, Rey, and of course a Tauntaun (seen graciously head-butting a snowtrooper).
The trailer also hints at what the story mode will entail. The main character seems to be a female Imperial soldier, seeing the second Death Star blow up first-hand, deployed on the Battle of Endor. While it's still possible that the game will take a multi-narrative approach similar to what was incorporated in Battlefield 1, we can infer that the female protagonist might be an exclusive cast member. You can see that she graces the center of the promotional image for the game below and seems to be the 'The Untold Soldier," as the trailer describes.
Lastly, the pre-order bonus for Star Wars Battlefront II looks to be directly tied the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi. This parallels the original Star Wars Battlefront, which featured the opportunity to fight on The Force Awakens planet, Jakku.
Star Wars Battlefront II is currently slated for a 2017 release.

Two musicians who made impressions on me in the late 1950s and 1960s were Elvis Presley and Pat Boone. I liked Elvis because of his flashy, "bad boy" image and the excitement he brought to his singing. Pat Boone's almost religious voice caused his singing to be more uplifting and soothing. I also liked that Pat Boone was always clean-cut, dressed in a neat suit and white buckskin shoes. I especially liked the "white bucks." I liked his white bucks so much that I was determined to purchase myself a pair.
In the fall of 1958, Mr. Hub Mabe, on whose farm we lived in the small community of Prestonville, North Carolina, offered one of my older brothers (Robert) and me $100 to dig a cellar underneath his house. Upon completion of our digging, Mr. Mabe enclosed the area with cinder blocks and used it as a storage area.
Because the soil on Mr. Mabe's farm consisted mostly of red clay, the digging took Robert and me (digging with picks, mattocks, and shovels) almost two days to complete. Before we started digging, we barely had crawl space underneath the house, but when we had finished we could stand up erect with hands stretched over our heads and barely touch the bottom of the house.
With the fifty dollars I had earned I planned to buy clothing. Since I liked Pat Boone's white buckskins so much, I decided to buy myself a pair. I ordered a pair of white buckskin shoes from the 1958 Sears Roebuck catalog for $6.98. The shoes were made of a soft deerskin colored white with red rubber soles. The white shoes were, I soon learned, a challenge to keep clean. So whenever I wore my white bucks, I was extremely careful where I walked. Almost every night I polished the upper part of the shoes with white liquid shoe polish (which I learned later was not the proper way to care for them) and the soles with black shoe polish. I did not like the red rubber soles that Pat Boone sported.
I thoroughly enjoyed wearing my white bucks to school. Since the Bowman siblings had to walk through a cow pasture to meet the school bus each morning, I had to devise a way to avoid getting my white bucks dirty. I opted to wear my old brogans to the bus stop where I changed into my white bucks just before boarding the bus. I left my brogans each morning hidden under a bush just inside the cow pasture fence, and I changed back into them when I departed the school bus in the afternoon.
During this time one of my unmarried uncles was living with us because he had to drink goat milk. He had been diagnosed with peptic ulcers and his doctor had suggested that he drink at least a quart of unpasteurized goat milk each day. We had two nanny goats and three billy goats. In addition to the three goats, we had three milk cows and several other animals we used as sources for food. We milked the three cows and two nanny goats daily and slaughtered billy goats and other animals periodically as needed for food. The goats and cows shared the same pasture.
One extremely rainy day as I returned to our bus stop from school, I exited the school bus and carefully stepped over mud puddles toward the bush under which I had hidden my brogans. To my dismay, all that was left intact from my brogans were the sets of steel speed hooks. Apparently, my brogans had been reduced to fragments by a hungry billy goat.
Naturally I had to wear my white bucks as I trod home through the slushy, muddy pasture. Since I had no other shoes at home to wear, I was compelled to wear my white bucks all the time and watch them eventually transform into a deplorably disgusting color. I soon vowed never again to buy or wear any white shoes other than tennis shoes.

The Best Tiramisu Recipe You Will Ever Make
Done correctly, a classic tiramisù can be transcendent. A creamy dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by lightly sweetened whipped cream and a rich mascarpone, tiramisù relies heavily on the quality of its ingredients.
You will be amazed how silky rich and yet LIGHT this Tiramisu tastes! This is slightly adapted from this recipe by Vanessa Martin, an Australian-Italian chef and owner of Mercato e Cucina, a fabulous Italian emporium in Sydney. This is a traditional recipe made using raw eggs that are not cooked or tempered, and with only mascarpone – no cream!

UnCommon Bodies
Step right up to the modern freakshow — We have mermaids, monsters, and more. You won't be disappointed, but you may not get out alive.
UnCommon Bodies presents a collection of 21 beautifully irreverent stories that blend the surreal and the mundane. Together, the authors explore the lives of the odd, the unbelievable, and the impossible. Imagine a world where magic exists, where the physical form has the power to heal or repulse, where a deal with the devil means losing so much more than your soul.
UnCommon Origins
UnCommon Origins presents 22 depictions of moments on the precipice, beginnings both beautiful and tragic. Fantastical stories of Creation, Feral Children, Gods and Goddesses (both holy and horrific), and possibilities you never dared imagine come to life. Including stories from some of the most talented Speculative Fiction and Magical Realism authors around, UnCommon Origins will revisit the oldest questions in the universe: Where did we come from? and What comes next?
UnCommon Minds
Enter into the hidden world of the mind, where the laws of nature don't apply and nothing is as it seems.
Straight from the minds of 20 UnCommon Authors come tales of tragedy, triumph, and bittersweet gratitude. You'll find augmented realities and mental persuasion that force you to question everything. Stories of military suspense, psychological horror, dream walkers, and psychic mediums await their turn to crawl into your head.

Over the next few months, I'll share reviews about the incredible authors I'm reading in the Book Smugglers Publishing family. I am truly honored to have found a press that is publishing fantastic authors and that values diverse and underrepresented voices in speculative fiction. I'm glad to be in their family! I am enjoying reading so many writers that are new to me. I just finished the novella, Keeper of the Dawn, by Dianna Gunn. Dianna's was the first novella released in the Book Smugglers Novella Initiative. Dianna will also join us here for an Author Q&A during the summer.
Have you ever wanted something so badly, trained for it, dreamed about it, devoted yourself to it and then it got snatched away? How does one recover when this happens? These questions swirl around Lai, the main character in Keeper of the Dawn. The story begins when she is a young girl training to become a priestess. The training is grueling and can prove fatal. In her society there can be only one priestess and because of her heritage (her grandmother and mother were priestesses), people assume it will be her.
The story is an outer journey as Lai struggles to find a way to serve her goddesses when all looks lost and she faces many obstacles. It is also a great inner journey as Lai's growth involves exploring her values, believing in herself and being vulnerable.
Keeper of the Dawn is set in a thoughtfully designed and complex second world fantasy. I love this culture and her portrayal of strong and complex heroines. The writing is detailed, vivid and compelling. Her writing reminds me of the work of Elizabeth Moon. Another thing that I think is really cool and interesting is the way that Gunn explores asexuality and the complexity of relationships. This, I think, is a relatively new area of character exploration in young adult fantasy.
Ms. Gunn is a talented writer. I think most fantasy readers will find this story engaging. I definitely want to read more of her work!
Read her her essay on inspirations and influences for Keeper of the Dawn.
Race, Culture & Politics: Why Hair Matters—I'm Featured on John Scalzi's 'The Big Idea'
Posted May 11, 2017on:
I'm was so happy this morning that I probably started running around in circles, like this pug:
Because today I'm featured on John Scalzi's blog in his 'Big Idea' section. He selects science fiction writers, with new books, to write about the 'big idea' that is connected to their work.
I get deep talking about why hair matters, racial legacies, questionable beauty practices, what it meant to grow up being told I had "good hair" and how those themes inspired my new novella, Reenu-You.
It was an honor to be chosen for 'The Big Idea'. I loved having a chance to share my passion discussing the intersection between hair and culture with his audience.

In June 2013 I was able to go to Nauvoo. As we drove away from Carthage, our tour guide shared this story with us:
We aren't totally sure who yelled, "the Mormons are coming" after Joseph and Hyrum Smith were shot and killed in Carthage; the call that made the mob leave, but it might have been Samuel Smith.
Samuel, younger brother of Joseph and Hyrum, saw Governor Ford with Emma and sensed things weren't right. He raced to Carthage and was chased and injured in the night.
When he got to Carthage he saw Willard Richards helping injured John Taylor into the other room. Samuel took them to Huntington hotel, then a doctor came.
{this is what gets me crying}
Lucy Mack Smith really lost three sons at Carthage. How? Because Samuel Smith died afterwards likely from the wounds he received racing to save his brothers.
"Samuel was the first Latter-day Saint to arrive at the jail,but by then Joseph and Hyrum were already dead. The violence was over, the mob had retreated, and Samuel had a piercing pain in his side."
"After Lucy viewed the bodies, Samuel said, "Mother, I have had a dreadful distress in my side ever since I was chased by the mob."
"On July 30, just 34 days after Joseph and Hyrum died, Samuel died."
This story shows me the power of their family bonds and the love they must've felt for each other. I can imagine Samuel in my head racing on horseback through the woods because he wants to be there for his brothers and save them. I can see him going so fast with his jaw clenched because he is so determined.

Have you checked everyone off your list this Christmas? I am personally only about halfway done and need to kick it into gear! Christmas is in two weeks people!
One of my favorite items to gift is gift cards! Truthfully, I used to think gift cards were impersonal and lazy, but as I've gotten older, I've changed my tune! Who doesn't LOVE a gift card?!?
I think they are especially perfect for teachers, co-workers and those people who make your life easier throughout the year that you just want to say a little thank you to at Christmas…postal workers, hair stylists, secretaries, crossing guards, school bus drivers, custodians…so many people that deserve a little happy this season!
So in an effort to add a little cuteness to our cards, I created six Christmas gift card holders! These are 5×7 cards that you just download, print and then attach your gift cards with tape or glue in the space provided!
I recommend printing on cardstock if you have it, only because it is sturdier! My printer is not the greatest, so I usually send files over to a local print shop (could use Office Depot, Kinkos, etc.) and they print and cut for me quickly, and for less than a dollar. I also provided jpeg files of these cards if you want to send to your local one hour photo printing and pick them up. Just adds a little personal touch!
Click on the links below to download files and spread a little Christmas cheer!
Coffee Shop Gift Card Holders
Perfect for coffee lovers! Pair with a gift card to Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts or your favorite local coffee spot!
These gift cards would also but cute paired with these 12 oz. enamel mugs that are each under $5. They are dishwasher safe, and all SO adorable for sipping all season!
Target Gift Card
There is literally something for EVERYONE at Target! I can't seem to make it out of that store without allllll the things jumping in my cart!
For Teachers
I taught high school for 9 years, and I will tell you that gift cards were my FAVORITE gift to receive! Find out your teacher's favorite stores, restaurants, or services (nail salon, massages, etc.) and treat them! A heart-felt thank you note on the back of this card goes a looooong way too! Teachers definitely do not do what they do for the fat paycheck…they love your children, and knowing that they are making an impact is the BEST gift you can give!
Amazon Gift Card
Amazon is another amazing retailer with something for everyone!
For Anyone
Anyone, any gift card! Simple and sweet!
Merry Christmas Gift Card jpeg

Wishing you and all the special people in your life a very Merry Christmas! Now, go spread some Christmas cheer!

WASHINGTON (AP) — The International Monetary Fund is warning that uncertainty associated with the policies of the incoming administration of Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador persists and poses a significant challenge for the country's economy.
The warning in an IMF report Thursday comes after a team visited Mexico last month to conduct an annual economic review.
The future hinges on the "steadfast implementation of structural reforms while ensuring continued macroeconomic stability," the report said.
The IMF is voicing concern a week after Fitch Ratings changed its outlook on Mexico's long-term foreign-currency debt from "stable" to "negative," citing the potential policies of Lopez Obrador.
The fund expects growth of 2.1 percent in 2018 and 2.3 percent in 2019.
Lopez Obrador will take office on Dec. 1.

Roomba Paintings: 2006
Artist Bobby Zokaites uses the Roomba, a robotic vacuum, to create this series of paintings. Zokaites converts the Roomba from a room cleaning device to an art-maker by removing the dust collector and vacuuming system and replacing it with a paint reservoir.
Artists have been playing with robots to make art since the 1950's. Zokaites's work is an extension of this genre, re-purposing a readily-available commercial robot

Vancouver's mayor has decried a decision by Doug Ford's government to freeze funding to overdose prevention sites in the midst of a deadly and worsening opioid crisis.
"It is a huge step backwards to diminish harm reduction efforts that are saving lives," said Gregor Robertson, speaking with the Star's editorial board on Wednesday about how Vancouver is tackling a surge of overdose deaths. "Harm reduction is the bare minimum to manage an epidemic of this magnitude."
Robertson was responding to a question about whether the freeze, pending a review of the program, was a mistake for Ontario, which like Vancouver is grappling with the lethal impact an increasingly tainted drug supply is having on people using drugs.
A range of harm reduction services play a vital role in saving lives until all levels of government can find a way to guarantee adequate access to mental health and addiction services, as well as affordable housing, he said.
"There is a lot being learned but there is not enough action and it is terrifying that Ontario is considering rolling backwards, and I can only imagine the cost of human lives here if that happens," Robertson added.
During the spring election campaign, Ford said he was "dead set" against safe injection sites, instead pledging to dedicate $1.9 billion to mental health, addiction and housing services. "We have to help these people. We can't just keep feeding them and feeding them," said Ford, in April.
In 2017, 366 people in Vancouver died from fatally high concentrations of drugs. In Toronto, that number hit 303, a 63 per cent increase from the previous year.
Mayor John Tory has repeatedly asked the province to expedite the review and has also called on the province to allow previously approved overdose prevention sites to open in the meantime. Toronto has been rolling out safe injection and overdose prevention sites over the past year, but advocates and front-line workers say more is needed.
"The overdose prevention sites and the supervised injection sites are saving lives," Tory told reporters during a campaign event on Wednesday. The city has a "responsibility" to offer any services that are proven to save lives, he said.
Tory and Robertson will take part in a panel discussion on addiction, overdoses and potential solutions on Thursday, with federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Bill Blair, the minister responsible for border security and reducing organized crime, and British Columbia's minister of mental health and addiction, Judy Darcy.
The conversation is part of a two-day Opioid Symposium in Toronto, organized by Health Canada.
Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott announced in mid-August that the government would be freezing funding to three approved overdose prevention sites, where people can use drugs under supervision, pending a program review. One site was planned for the city's Parkdale neighbourhood. Rather than wait for the go-ahead, the Toronto Overdose Prevention Society opened up a renegade site, operating out of a tent.
At the symposium, Wednesday, harm reduction worker Zoe Dodd asked Petitpas Taylor if the federal government would step in if the province decided to cut funding. Petitpas Taylor said she was "absolutely committed to working with the government to make sure these services remain open," in a video clip shot by medical student Alison Sumner and posted on Twitter.
More than 850 doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, harm reduction and front-line workers have signed on to an open letter, stating they are "extremely concerned about the potentially fatal impact" of the funding freeze. Evidence shows, they stated, that the sites keep people alive.
"Delaying the opening of these sites will contribute to unnecessary illness and death," they wrote, in the letter released Wednesday. "The government's lack of urgency in dealing with this crisis is negligent and inhumane."
Included in their demands: The three already approved overdose prevention sites be allowed to open; applications for additional sites be approved; that expanded and continued funding be invested in harm reduction services; and that people with lived experience, front-line workers, and health care providers be engaged in "meaningful conversations" around strategies.
Elliott's spokesperson said the review will "conclude in short order," a recommendation will follow and "in the interim, the ministry has indicated that no new sites should open to the public." said Hayley Chazan, in an email sent Wednesday.
"Minister Elliott is undertaking an evidence-based review, listening to experts, community leaders, community members and individuals who have lived through addiction to ensure that any continuation of drug injection sites introduce people into rehabilitation and ensure those struggling with addiction get the help they need."

Semi-finished steels were the second most exported at 83,307 mt, down from 60,239 mt a year earlier and from 103,816 mt in July.
Preliminary Commerce census data said applications for import in September totaled 241,949 mt.
So far in 2018, Mexico exported 2.12 million mt of steel products to the US, down 21.8% from the same period of 2017.
From January to December 2017, Mexico exported 3.07 million mt of steel products to the US.
Some Mexican steel producers and suppliers have suspended exports to the US and negotiations with American buyers following US President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on Mexican steel and aluminum.
Mexico received a temporary exemption from the 25% US tariff on steel when it took effect June 23, but the US announced July 31 exemptions would not be extended. Imports from Canada, the EU and Mexico have been subject to the tariff since July 1.
The tariffs are expected to be dealt separately under the new commercial agreement with the US and Canada, called USMC, with no timeline provided for such negotiation.

BLOOD & SKULLS: A Khorne Daemonkin Review, Part 1
It's finally here, after what felt like eons of waiting (really just a few weeks since rumors hit), we have Codex: Khorne Daemonkin. I haven't had a chance to delve into the fluff just yet, but I have read through the army list a few times, and I'm pretty excited (as usual). So without further adieu, I'm going to write a review of the Codex, though I'm not going to waste time comparing it to the CSM or Daemons Codices, or complain about what it should or shouldn't have, none of those really contribute to an understanding of the army. To get the ball rolling, I'm going to talk first about the big things that make the army more than just a handful of Chaos Marine units mixed with a few from the Daemons codex.
Army Special Rules
Blood for the Blood God!
This rule is a critical component of Blood Tithe, which I'll get into sooner, but essentially it means whenever a unit with this rule is killed, or kills an enemy unit you generate one point of Blood Tithe. Additionally, when a character with this rule kills an enemy in a challenge, or is slain in a challenge, you also get a point, so killing an enemy independent character in a challenge will count for 2!
Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Much like Chaos Space Marines, Khorne Daemonkin characters must issue and accept challenges whenever possible. Unlike Chaos Space Marines, you absolutely want to get into every challenge you can for that sweet sweet Blood Tithe!
Blood Tithe
Alright, this is kind of the meat and potatoes of what makes this book absolutely freaking awesome!
- Adamantium Will
- Furios Charge + Rage
- Feel No Pain
- +1 Attack
- Summon 8 Bloodletters or 5 Flesh Hounds
- Summon 3 Bloodcrushers or a Skullcannon
- Sacrifice a character, take a LD test: pass, become a Daemon Prince, fail, become a spawn.
- Sacrifice a character, take a LD test: pass, become a freaking Bloodthirster!
Abilities 1-4 affect every unit in the army with the Blood for the Blood God! rule, which is everything in the book.
Obadiah and I played one test game so far, and without using the relic to get extra blood points, nor using the Slaughtercult Detachment (which gives you +1 Blood Tithe per turn), I was able to summon 2 Bloodthirsters, with the last one being on turn 4, so it was still quite handy that game.
NOTE: It's important to note that while similar to summoning Daemons using the conjuration type spells found in Daemonology, it is NOT the same. Conjuration psychic powers specifically state that they treat the models as if it's coming in from Reserves, hence when you summon a winged greater daemon using Daemonology, it will be swooping (Deep Strike Reserves). This is not the case for the Blood Tithe table, the model does not come from Deep Strike Reserves, nor is it said that it is treated as coming in from reserves in any way, so it does not need to Swoop (Swooping is required when coming in from Deep Strike Reserves), meaning your Bloodthrister can charge the turn after it is summoned (Deep Strike still prevents charging the same turn), instead of 2 turns later as with standard Daemonology.
Warlord Traits
As far as codex-specific warlord traits, it really seems that following Harlequins, the writers seemed to be focused on some good and characterful traits.
Artefacts of Slaughter
Now lets talk about the all new toys that this book brings to offer! I'm quite pleased with the weapons specifically, but the non-weapons are all handy too... I just struggle to not take a weapon.
The Brazen Rune
For the price of a power weapon, this Artefact gives your character fearless, plus once per game can be sacrificed to create a powerful anti-psyker aura, causing enemy psykers to perils on ANY double. This is a pretty powerful little item when you start thinking about how many armies out there rely on some form of psychic support, like invisibility, or even against Tyranids where their flying Hive Tyrants could get downed in their psychic phase. If you aren't interested in any other relic for a character, I'd say this one is worth taking, though may be hard to justify with some of the other items.
The Skull-helm of Khorne
Some of us old-timers remember when the Axe of Khorne gave you extra attacks on 6's to hit, well, it's back in the form of a helmet! Another Artefact no more expensive than a power weapon, but could potentially be quite nasty, especially if you end up with re-rolls to hit somehow.
The Blood-forged Armour
The final non-weapon Artefact, this relic armour is quite expensive, grants only a 3+ armour save, but also gives Eternal Warrior and Feel No Pain. It can only be taken by a Chaos Lord and Daemon Prince, but considering it's cost, I think it's best reserved for the Prince who otherwise has to pay for a 3+ armour save anyhow.
Much like a relic of the Crimson Slaughter, the Daemonkin have an artefact power axe that gets more powerful the more you kill with it. The biggest issue I have with this weapon is that it is unweildy. It costs slightly more than a powerfist, and fully empowered may be worth it if you're facing a lot of multi-wound models. The rules don't require that the weapon itself cause them to get powered up, but I'm not sure it would be worth buying a different close combat weapon to use until then. It may only take a couple turns to get maxed out (8 wounds) for Instant Death if you're on a Juggernaut mount, so I could see the case for it.
The Blade of Endless Bloodshed
This is the weapon I want to love, for a little more than double the price of a power sword, you get a power sword... that also gives you +1 Blood Tithe point per turn that you cause at least one wound in combat. If you're making a Slaughtercult army, this could mean you're getting a ton of Blood Tithe every turn, definitely something I've been considering...
Kor'lath, the Axe of Ruin
This Axe of Khorne (see below) has a bit of a twist, when the bearer of the weapon dies, a Bloodthrister of Unfettered Fury (i.e. the generic Bloodthrister), is immediately summoned in his place. At the end of each of your own following turns however, it suffers D3 wounds, which armour saves are not allowed. If summoned mid-game, this can be a total game-changer, giving you another Bloodthirster when you're probably ready to summon one anyhow... Losing the wounds can be a pain, but at least you get a save, and when you figure that you've already lost the character with the axe anyhow, it's better than just not having a character! I could see this being fun to put onto a character that you plan on getting into combat quickly anyhow, though maybe spare a few points on survivability and watch the magic happen.
Other Unique Wargear
Axe of Khorne
For double the price of a normal power sword, you get one that's AP2 and causes instant-death on a 6 to wound. Not awful, but very expensive for what you get, especially considering some MC's that you face may not even be wounded on a 6! If it had rending I'd consider it, but otherwise, it's just too pricy for your typical Aspiring Champion, maybe on a Lord if you don't want to use one of the spiffy artefact weapons.
Collar of Khorne
While not an Artefact, I thought I'd mention the Collar of Khorne because it's a fairly new army-wide piece of wargear. Previously limited to Flesh Hounds, the power weapon priced piece of wargear gives anyone with access to Gifts of Khorne (Chaos Lord, Herald, Blood Throne and Daemon Prince) the bearer gets +2 to all Deny The Witch rolls, and it stacks wit the Adamantium Will Blood Tithe for +3!
I think that the writer did a good job making a selection of special rules which accurately portray the frenzied and damned nature of the Khorne Daemonkin. The Blood Tithe chart feels like it plays out especially cinematically during game play, and the Artefacts all feel pretty appropriate for the god they represent. I might have preferred a weapon that granted a ton of attacks from a competitive standpoint, though that seems like a pedestrian approach, something which the author did a good job at avoiding while creating some interesting alternatives.
Next I'll be going through the units available to the army and how I feel that they work in the book as a whole, so keep your eyes peeled!

New Fed chief to face calls to limit interest hikes
The dollar dipped slightly as new chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, prepared to face a hostile Congress calling for a limit to the recent rises in interest rates.
The dollar stood at 1.7428 against the pound and at 1.1909 to the euro.
In his first meeting as chairman this coming Wednesday, it is expected that Professor Bernanke will ignore their pleas and continue the Fed's hawkish credit-tightening campaign.
The former Princeton professor started at the Fed on February 1st and will meet a Joint Economic Committee (JEC) that is said to be worried about the effects of interest rates on the economy.
Senator Paul Sarbanes of the banking committee was among those to urge an end to the rate rises during a debate on Professor Bernanke's nomination.
US productivity fell last year for the first time since 2001 to 2.7 per cent driving labour costs up by 3.5 per cent, something that is contributing to fears of a rise in inflation.
Interest rates have increased 14 times in a row with the Fed still stating that "some further policy firming may be needed".

The Afghan Taliban have given up this month to visit Saudi Arabia for further talks with US envoys because of Ryad's willingness to include representatives of Kabul in the talks.
Islamist insurgents are demanding that this fourth round of talks with US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad be held in Qatar, where the Taliban have political representation.
The negotiations concern the withdrawal of foreign forces in Afghanistan and a possible cease-fire in 2019.
"We were supposed to meet US officials next week in Riyadh to continue our peace process that was unfinished last month in Abu Dhabi," a senior movement official told Reuters on Sunday.
"The problem is that the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates insist that we meet with a delegation from the Afghan government, which we can not accept for the moment, so we canceled the meeting in Saudi Arabia," he said.
This cancellation was confirmed by the spokesman of insurgents Zabihullah Mujahid. No confirmation could be obtained from the United States Embassy in Kabul.
"Everyone knows that the Afghan government does not want the United States and its allies to leave Afghanistan," said another senior Taliban official.
"We have paid a heavy price to drive out all the foreign forces in our country, why should we talk to the Afghan government?" He added.
Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict have intensified since the appointment of Khalilzad, who is of Afghan origin, as a special envoy for Afghanistan last September. The US envoy met the Taliban three times, the last on 17 December in the United Arab Emirates.
After more than seventeen years of war, the White House plans to repatriate at least 5,000 of the 14,000 US military currently in Afghanistan, as part of NATO's "Resolute Support" operation and one mission. anti-terrorist mainly directed against the jihadists of ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Soap Making Workshop
$50.00 – $85.00
Have you ever wanted to make soap? Well, I've convinced Leslie Carson formerly of the fabulous Luna Bug Soap to come teach this workshop.
Leslie says this is not a "work" shop but a FUNShop as she has taken all the work out, you won't have to learn any science or chemistry, you won't have to understand saponification or SAP values, you won't have to understand what oils have what qualities or try to figure out how much essential oil to add to have a nice smell.
We'll talk a little about the history of soap; the chemical process; oils, herbs & essential oils; sodium hydroxide (lye); safety; presentation; then we'll make some lovely soap!
Join Leslie & I for two (or so) hours of good clean fun!

Dieppe Chess Festival
The 11th edition of the Dieppe Chess Festival has recently come to an end and we only wish it lasted longer! It is a tournament we enjoy very much, both because of its nice location but also its great organization.
To give you an idea of this place, Dieppe is a nice town located on the coast of the English Channel. It is not only a very good holiday destination, but also a very important port.
According to Wikipedia, it was, until the late 1970s, the first port for banana shipment. In the present days, however, it is well-known as the most attractive destination for fishing the famous Saint-Jacques oysters. As you can imagine, the restaurants are offering a large variety of seafood, from various types of white fish to mussels, snails and oysters. The most common are the mussels, which can be served plain simple or accompanied by different types of French cheese sauces.… Read more "Dieppe Chess Festival"

Spanish Team Championship – Primera Divison
Linares has been for a long time the heart of chess. The history of the events held in this city goes back to 1978. It started as a non-elite tournament until 1987, when the tournament was postponed, as the city was hosting a very important event – the Candidates' Final between Karpov and Sokolov. Starting with 1988, it became the home of the elite event everybody knows. It continued until 2010 with the exception of 1993, when the Women's World Championship was held here.
Even though the economical situation has made it impossible for Linares to host this strong event again, the city hasn't turned its back to chess. For a few years now, the traditional tournament has been replaced by the Spanish National Championships (team and individuals).
This year's chess festival has started on 8th of August, with the Team Championship – Primera Division and will end on 31st of August with the Open Championship.… Read more "Spanish Team Championship – Primera Divison"

Writer's thoughts from her farm about life with horses, dogs, and living in the world of Mother Nature
Tuesday, September 03, 2013
Weather or Not
At 6AM, outside my French doors, the moon smiled, a tight-lipped sliver in the darkness. By 6:30 dawn showed the blush of a newborn day. At 7AM, bright white on the Eastern horizon announced the sun was here to stay and I prepared for an outside day.
No wait, it is now 7:40 and rain dashes about as grey skies advance from the North. Mother Nature sure likes to keep our attention on her. Good thing, horses are in, feeding is done. I will sit back with a cup of tea and watch her show in hopes that will appease her. At 10:30, I have to take my Mother's cat to the vet for a rabies shot.
The little cat excursion will create a storm of its own without added attractions. I can see it now, Mother Nature tossing in lightning bolts, and rumbling, Me, Me, Me, to get my attention. I hope I'm wrong.
Have a great, unpredictable day, all.

Renting after bankruptcy
Finding a landlord that is willing to approve a tenant who wishes to start renting after bankruptcy may seem like an impossible task, but there is hope. Since the stock market crash of 2008-2009 and the economic downturn as a result with the housing market collapse, many were faced with the difficult choice of bankruptcy to eliminate excessive debt. What many were not aware of were the effects that a bankruptcy would have for the following 10 years of their lives.
Of the most important affects was finding a rental property as the ability to get approved for a home loan is near impossible. For some the ability to get approved for a rental property based on their income was enough in the early years of the recession. In the current times many that have a bankruptcy are finding it more difficult than ever to get approved as credit approval processes have become much more strict.
The entire credit approval process in all industries has significantly changed and regardless of income, people that have less than perfect credit are being denied loans and rental approval– especially in the event of a bankruptcy. We understand that circumstances outside of our control happen and in the recent economic collapse many that were financially stable with perfect credit were unexpectedly affected with negative equity, job loss, and lowered pay as a result. Due to this, many were faced with the difficult choice of declaring bankruptcy to get out from under the insurmountable debt.
With our rental guarantee program, our approval process isn't based on your credit or a past bankruptcy. It is based on your current income and passing a criminal history background check. If you are finding it difficult to get approved to rent the nicer properties, contact us about our rental guarantee program to see if it is a good fit for your needs.

The murder of yet another journalist in Mexico continues to make that country one of the deadliest places for the reporters. Unlike other countries, in Mexico, journalists are often targeted not only by criminal organizations, but also by corrupt government officials.
On Saturday, unknown gunmen shot and killed Manuel Torres in Poza Rica, Veracruz, Mexico's Proceso reported. The slain reporter had been in the business for more than 20 years having worked at Mexico's TV Azteca, Radiover.com as well as the daily newspaper Noreste. According to Reporters Without Borders, Torres covered court cases, police news and cartel violence. He also edited his own news website, Noticiasmt, and worked for the Poza Rica city hall.
Torres is the sixth journalist to be murdered in Mexico this year.
At the time of the murder, according to a statement from the Veracruz Attorney General's Office, investigators identified Torres as an employee of a local politician and not as a journalist.
According to a new release from Mexico's Human Rights Commission (CNDH) sent to Breitbart Texas, members of the organization have begun to take part in the case and have been assisting Torres' family in dealing with investigative agencies. In their statement, the CNDH asks for the cooperation of the government in clearing up the murder and to evaluate the security conditions of journalists in the area.
Despite the government assurances, Reporters Without Borders, regards Mexico as one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists.
Referring to Mexico as "the land of drug cartels", Reporters Without Borders claims that "murders of journalists are typically carried out in cold blood, like executions, and almost always go unpunished. This impunity accounts for the widespread corruption. Some elected officials are directly linked to organized crime. Ownership of the broadcast media is extremely concentrated, with two media groups owning almost all the TV stations."
Just last month, as Breitbart Texas previously reported, a team of cartel gunmen murdered 55-year-old Francisco Pacheco Beltran, in the Mexican state of Guerrero. Pacheco Beltran had spent the previous night documenting a brutal cartel gun battle that had paralyzed the beach resort city of Acapulco Guerrero.
Ildefonso Ortiz is an award winning journalist with Breitbart Texas you can follow him on Twitter and on Facebook.
