We have been delighted with the ease of use, clarity of recordings and the quality of prints it produced to a VTR system. We also found it easy to access and to view from any remote internet terminal. This gives us the flexibility we need and excellent value for money. These systems are invaluable for providing the level of safety and security we wish to afford the occupiers and visitors to our properties." Derwent London "Antron handled all obstacles and problems calmly and effectively and were very flexible with their approach. State-of-the-art security systems were installed and the workmanship was to a very high standard. We are very pleased with Antron and have called on them again to support us on various other projects." Derwent London "Derwent was keen to source one supplier able to provide state-of-the-art Digital CCTV systems, access Control and Video Entry systems.

Gerner & Kearns Co., L.P.A., represents a wide variety of lenders, financiers and loan servicers, including local, regional and national banks, credit unions, and more. We know and understand the extensive legal rules, regulations and other requirements that constantly seem to be at odds with what's best for our clients' profitability and all-important reputation. The attorneys at Gerner & Kearns Co., L.P.A., are fully aware of the myriad hurdles our clients face, and we've been fighting to help make them more surmountable for 30 years.
What Can Hold The Process Up?
Outstanding accounts aren't always easily resolved and may consist of complex legal matters involving:
- Initiating legally valid foreclosures on commercial or residential properties
- Negotiating with debtors who file for bankruptcy protection
- Initiating recovery or replevin actions, occasionally called claim and delivery for the return of secured collateral
- Serving occupants with eviction notices
- Pursuing debtors who default on what they owe
Creditors need to be aware that all of these outcomes demand careful legal treading. Taking a wrong step could jeopardize not only the ability to close or resolve an account in a timely fashion but also weaken investor confidence. Talking to the experienced creditors' rights lawyers at Gerner & Kearns Co., L.P.A., can help you choose a course of action that relieves you of the burdens associated with resolving defaults.
Focused On Accuracy And Efficiency
Mistakes aren't acceptable in the collections industry. In addition to making it harder to stay accountable, errors have direct adverse impacts on your revenue streams. For instance, a debtor who feels they were wronged might file a complaint that exposes you to the risk of significant fines and drawn-out litigation.
Our proactive strategy and ongoing communication ensure progress is being made in the right direction. At Gerner & Kearns Co., L.P.A., we understand that while protecting your rights, we are dealing with your clients who may be going through difficult times. While this may just be routine business to some, we take it personally and treat your clients with the compassion and respect they deserve in these various delicate situations.

I've been working with a lovely elderly couple recently who is trying to redo a room in their small home which they have resided for the past 30 years. And as many people can relate , 30 years is a long time to live in 1 place and also a long time to accumulate. Even with the best decluttering efforts, " things" tend to accumulate.
People hold onto items for all different reasons: most are sentimental, there is the " could be useful someday " category, among other many reasons people justify holding on. And one day you wake up to a room full or house full of " stuff".
One of the best parts about my job is to see people realize how wonderful and lighter they feel when they simply learn to let go. Referring back to the couple that I'm helping, the gentlemen said to me" Mercedes, you have made me look at my spaces in a whole new light, and have had made it easier for me to let go." "I love going in my office and just being." Nothing could make me happier as an organizer. Nothing. So it's never too late to discover the joy of living with less.

Picnics, family reunions, summer bbqs, potlucks – what do they all have in common? Food, lots of food, delicious food, gooey & chewy food and there is a good chance there are brownies there.
These are dense & chewy brownies; better the 2nd day and completely non-dairy. My taste-testers (including me) loved these. I hope you do too.
1/2 cup (one stick) Earth Balance*
1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco*
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups egg whites (or 4 eggs)
1/4 tsp salt
4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coffee extract (optional)
1 package non-dairy chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter flavored Crisco or soft Earth Balance
1/2 + 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I used cashew)
1/4 heaping cup of cocoa powder
3-4 cups powdered sugar
dash salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp coffee extract (optional)
Preheat oven to 350*; grease pan; flour greased pan (helps brownies not stick); set aside. Cream 'Butter' & Sugar together; add extracts and cocoa powder to creamed sugar and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 2 cups flour until smooth. Add one bag of non-dairy chocolate chips, mix well. Pour into prepared pan; smooth; bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes; check at 20 minutes and every 5 minutes thereafter until cooked through.
While brownies are cooking, make frosting: Combine "milk" and "Butter"/Crisco; add cocoa powder and extracts; mix well. Add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth and no lumps.
Cool brownies completely. Spread with frosting & let harden; slice & enjoy.
Slice & enjoy.
* I prefer half Earth Balance and half Crisco – the reason is all Earth Balance makes my baking more rock solid than I like – using half of each of these makes it a texture & density more like butter would.
If you have a go to vegan "egg" substitute you could try it – I don't know how they would turn out, so if you do make these with an egg substitute, let me know how they turn out.
How do you like your brownies? Comment & let me know.

My experiences have given me the tools to create a learning environment that is fun, applies tested methodologies, and uses an intelligent curriculum design procedure.
I love using my background in technology to make administrative processes easier or to enrich the learning environment.
I am excited about teaching and helping others learn! Recently, I finished a research proposal titled "Training Your Mouth for Pronunciation". Also, I am focusing on learning more about task-based learning and student-centered workshop environments.
I am an idea person. I love thinking up innovative solutions to everyday problems, whether they be in the classroom or for the tedious but necessary admin that sometimes surrounds our teaching.
Here are a few of the teaching and ESOL related projects I have undertaken...
My studies and experience have given me exposure to various ESOL methodologies. I have designed and adapted curriculum at every position here in Korea and recently I have been able to apply small but effective changes into my classes from what I have learned as a graduate student. Last, I have gotten a taste for research through an introductory course and would like the possibility to do more in this area.
My background in IT and video gives me a unique opportunity to leverage technology in the classroom or to create administrative solutions. In the past, I have used my skills in video to promote interest. Using my IT skills, I have created electronic grade books in excel to streamline end of semester evaluations. Also, I used programming skills at one of my positions to create an online site for teachers to share quizzes and other documents.
2005 - 2007
2008 - now
2005 - Now
I received what you might think of as a computer consulting degree from the Kelley School of Business in 2002. I worked very hard and graduated with a GPA of 3.52. During that time I had one teaching experience. I was a peer tutor for a freshman level course called "Microsoft Excel in Business".
Anticipated 2015
I am currently taking courses online and anticipate graduating at the end of 2015. My program is mix between ESOL courses and a core of education courses that is meant to develop leadership skills. Take a look at my portfolio so see some of the exciting projects I have been working on!
Feel free to write or call and I will try to respond as soon as I can!

Can a weekend be perfect without going fishing ?
Ask me that exact question say ten or fifteen years ago and I would replied with a big time "no, not a chance". I often look within and ask myself whether I really am obsessed with fishing as much as I used to be when I could think almost nothing more than going fishing as much as I could physically and mentally take. Am I any less into fishing because I don't fish as much as I used to, indeed does the amount you actually go fishing equate to how much you love it ? Well I don't think it does. It used to be that way for me I suppose, but thanks to lure fishing especially I know that I am even more obsessed than I used to be - but I don't go fishing as much. Can that make sense ?
I have just had what to me was a perfect weekend yet I never went fishing once. OK, so I still think about fishing probably an abnormal amount - yet I find myself thinking about how life changes and how one develops as a person through life. Pretty deep for a Monday morning eh, but it really got to me as we came off the beach at about 6pm yesterday afternoon with the sun shining, the kids as happy as can be, and a view along Whitsand Bay about as good as it's ever going to get. Can life possibly get any better ? Neither my wife or I are remotely interested in a flash lifestyle and she never gives me any grief about going out fishing. We just don't work like that - ok, I once went fishing fourteen nights on the trot one winter when she had literally just given up on London and moved down to be with me in Plymouth, but it was more a case of me needing sleep because I could not act like a human being rather than my then girlfriend hassling me not to actually go fishing. With me having to spend roughly three to four months away from my family each year for my work I guess you could say that we are ok at doing what needs to be done to live how we live and just get on with it if that makes sense. We try as hard as we can to live a simple and relatively uncomplicated life, but of course we don't get it all right. When I am away I am away and my wife and two girls are great at just getting on with it, but the flipside is that when I am home I actually work from home and therefore as much as I need to be very disciplined, I am around a lot of the time.
So what is a perfect weekend ? Very different for all of us I would imagine. It does help when the weather is just sublime and you can spend nearly the whole time outside enjoying it. My wife and I continually talk about how lucky we are to be living in a part of the world where people actually pay to come on holiday, but it's our choice to live here and by no means as I said have we got it all right. It's right for us though. Saturday morning in the garden (still can't believe I can get a kick out of gardening), barbie for lunch, afternoon on the beach with the kids swimming and surfing, plenty of dog walks, some friends around for supper Sat evening where I did butterfly lamb on the barbie, Sunday morning messing around in the garden again, beer chicken on the barbie for lunch, then off to the beach in the afternoon where we met up with some friends and our collective four girls. Nobody else around on the beach where we went and the kids just ran wild/swam/surfed/rock-pooled etc. for hours. Picnic tea on the beach for the kids, put them to bed absolutely knackered, and then watch the cricket highlights from an awesome day's play. Not one single second of fishing, yet I went to sleep with the feeling that we had just a great, great couple of days.
Yes, if the weather conditions had been epic for a bit of bass fishing then of course I would have gone out, but I suppose that life for me has become a more rounded mix of stuff that I love doing. I could never imagine the fun that just hanging out with my family could be, but I value my time at home like you would not believe. And on the flipside of this I look forward to say my time over in Ireland like you would not believe as well. Fishing obsesses me more than ever yet I don't mind not going out as much as I used to, indeed I think that with my photography as well that I have learnt how to almost maximise the time that I do spend fishing and kind of make it mean more to me. Does that make any sense ? Whatever the case, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend doing whatever you were doing. I bet you all did very different stuff to what we did here in south east Cornwall, but isn't that what life is about ?

This species closely resembles C. holocarpa (described elsewhere) but differs in the thallus and prothallus, both of which are black. The spores in C. atroflava are broad (1316 x 910µm) with a wide septum (57µm). It grows mainly on shingle pebbles. In Ireland, there is a record from County Donegal. Material recorded from County Galway is now considered doubtful.

I have one box at home, that's a 2 x 866 MHz P3 + 1.5 GB of RAM + 4 HDDs. I can run 4 OSes simultaneously on it. Which is necessary if you want to test a scenario with say: 1 webserver, a separate DB server, a separate AD server, and a separate COM+ server. You can't do that on a laptop. :-) Cheers Ken

Chris and Nicole's wedding was a countryside, barn style wedding (which are our favorite) at Canopy Creek Farm. But this one was a little different for us from the get go! Nicole's bridesmaids actually booked me as a their wedding gift to her, how awesome is that?! The whole group was great to work with and we were so happy to be able to celebrate with Chris and Nicole.
Nicole's dad delivered one of my favorite father of the bride speeches of the year. The amount of emotion that was coming out of him as he was talking about his daughter and Chris was incredible! Be sure to watch the film and scroll down to see a few frames from the day!
Rain literally came out of nowhere right before the ceremony started! But it didn't seem to bother anybody and they were still able to have their ceremony outside!
Congrats to Chris and Nicole!

Moncton cooperates with urban food project
MONCTON – A plan hatched by a group calling for food self-sufficiency soon will have egg-producing hens roosting in a suburban backyard in Moncton.
The Greater Moncton Regional Planning Commission has granted a community group's request for a one-year temporary permit to run an experimental urban farm.
The pilot project could lead to a bylaw allowing chickens in city neighbourhoods, producing fresh and chemical-free eggs.
"We had a meeting and we were talking about different ideas we could promote and one suggested this," said Roy MacMullin, a member of Post Carbon Greater Moncton. "At the beginning we thought 'that's crazy' but it grew on us."
Post Carbon Greater Moncton is a group of approximately 65 citizens. Its members believe that the world is about to enter an era of oil scarcity, something that likely will lead to a significant shift in the way we live.
"This is about food security," MacMullin said. "This is about bringing back control to the people over a little bit of their food.
"What we are hoping is that we can develop a bylaw. Not everybody will be interested, but I think it will help us go back to a life more similar to the way our grandfathers lived."
The approved plan allows up to four hens to be kept on properties within the city.
The group has promised to deliver a full report to the City of Moncton before the end of 2010, examining optimal conditions for small-scale farming in an urban setting.
There also will be an educational component to the project as the group expects to organize tours of the urban farm and hold public sessions on food security and self-sufficiency.
It could also lay the groundwork for a municipal regulatory framework.
"People have forgotten where food comes from – we just go to the supermarket and there it is," MacMullin said. "But some day we might go to the supermarket and it won't be there, especially because of the energy component of delivering food from around the world."
The urban farm will be run by group members and Université de Moncton professor Anne-Marie Laroche. It will be set up in a residential neighborhood.
"It's something I was thinking about because I do a vegetable garden around the house and I thought it was an innovative idea," she said. "You don't have to be there every minute with chickens. When the coop is built you feed them and make sure they always have water and it's not a lot of time.
"It's easier than having a dog because you don't have to walk them."
A planning commission staffing report said the rationale behind approving the project centered on the lack of basic knowledge about food security and how it could "leave us vulnerable to any number of events that could disrupt a tightly-coupled, energy-intensive and fragile system." Wars, natural disasters and the oil crisis are some examples of such devastating events.
Permission was only granted by a vote of 10 against seven.
There have been heated debates about urban chickens in other places, including Hamilton, Waterloo and Halifax.

Martin Puryear identifies with a Minimalist emphasis on "the power of the simple single thing as opposed to a full-blown complex array of things." However, he rejects the industrial materials commonly associated with the movement, in favor of those more organic in nature. Puryear learned carpentry and craft traditions from his travels to West Africa, and basketry and quillwork in Scandinavia. Maroon is one of the artist's first works in which he incorporates tar over wire mesh, achieving the artist's desire to "mediat[e] between a feeling of massiveness and fragility to reach a point of extreme vulnerability." With its bulbous shape, circular wooden cap, and variety of materials and textures, Maroon reflects Puryear's ability to create subtle contradictions within a singular form.

I'm behind schedule this week...and my editors are furious (note to self: this may be early signs of schizophrenia). This was a great week in music--with one album that has been at the top of my list for a long while, and an album I'd never heard before.
Also, I went to Chicago to visit my younger brother Josiah and his wife Becki. I'd been there once when I was a pre-teen, but never again since. I was surprised by how much I liked the city--how beautiful its architecture, Lake Michigan, etc. I didn't realize there were great cities out there that didn't begin with "New" and end with "York".
I'm taking the rest of this week off of work to focus on recording more of my third album: Held Momentarily. So far I have the final mix for 4 songs in, the fifth song almost ready to be mixed, and five other songs at various stages of undress. In other words, I'm reaching the half-way point with the record--as I'm approaching the half-way point of this list as well. Almost 50 records down. Who knew.
58: The Rolling Stones -- Beggar's Banquet (1968)
As I mentioned after listening to Sticky Fingers (#64), I have never had much knowledge of The Rolling Stones. I had chalked them up as another band that I wouldn't really like--based on next to nothing, perhaps, beside an inexplicable loathing of their tongue logo. It's just not a design that compels one to take their music seriously.
I watched the great documentary Crossfire Hurricane (currently available on HBO Go). It is a solid entry point to The Rolling Stones at the height of their fame, covering a wide expanse from their never-humble beginnings, the making of Beggar's Banquet, the death of Brian Jones, the addition (and subsequent subtraction) of Mick Taylor, the horror of Altamont, the replacement's replacement Ronnie Wood, all the way up to their current string of successful concerts. I've watched a good deal of music documentaries this year. One thing I've noticed about many of them is how they whitewash the stars--hide their egomania, drug-use, etc. Crossfire Hurricane is remarkable in its raucous authenticity and warts-and-all portrayal.
[iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/jRodNxDEiYc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen]
The music here is more rootsy and bluesy than I typically like. I really enjoyed this album for the way it surmounted my expectations once again--even though on a song-by-song basis, I prefer Sticky Fingers.
I really like Sympathy For The Devil. The beauty of songs like No Expectations is so unquestionable that I almost take it for granted. On some of the songs, I can hear a direct influence on bands like The Avett Brothers and their ilk--especially Dear Doctor. I enjoy the Dylanesque Jigsaw Puzzle, especially Brian Jones' unexpected mellotron lines. The documentary helped me see the context and power of the song Street Fighting Man--again I like Brian Jones' nonsensical contribution of the sitar, which I didn't really hear until I listened for it. I'm surprised by the Stones' stylistic diversity going from more rocking songs to rootsier bluesy songs, like Prodigal Son, and yet the Brits more than pull it off, faux American accent considered.
Based on the documentary, and the little I knew about them beforehand, it seems like the Stones played up their bad-boy/black-hat/Beatles-alternative shtick. All of that, in combination with Jagger's inimitable chicken dance showmanship and Keith Richards' death-wish-drug-habit, would mean nothing if they didn't have the musicianship and intelligence that is deeply inherent in their songs.

57: Stevie Wonder -- Songs In The Key Of Life (1976)
This massive double album was finally released the September following my birth. This isn't my favorite Stevie album, but that is not to say that it doesn't have many, many moments of perfection and genius. Maybe the sheer size of it is more than I've been able to acclimate to as of yet.
I like Stevie at his more intimate. In this album, it is clear that he is intent to make bold statements...and change the whole idea of albums, the recording process, and popular music.
I read the 33 1/3 book for this album several months ago, and really enjoyed it. I was struck by how much Stevie sacrificed for his music, how driven and single-minded he was. It is obvious when you look at it this way to realize that no one can sustain that. We look at artists like Stevie or Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, or even The Rolling Stones and wonder why they aren't making music now that is as relevant as their seminal records. How can anyone sustain that? Name any exemplar in any field that has been able to sustain the kind of zeitgeist-tapped success and I guarantee it's a very short list--and some thievery (or pacts with Satan) may have been involved.
I also watched the Classic Albums episode for this album which was again one of the best I've seen. You can see it in its entirety below (#freeYa'll). For more Stevie context still, check out 10 Things You Never Knew About Stevie Wonder.

Now to the music.
Push play.
Those background harmonies? From the first five seconds? Perfection. Love's In Need Of Love Today could be seen as sappy, but as true today as it was almost 40 years ago. The meditative vamp of the last four and a half minutes of the song takes some audacity to pull off. Or maybe it works more because of its sincerity than its audacity. Who else could pull off starting a double-album with a 7 minute song, almost 2/3 of which is so highly repetitive? My favorite moment: at 5:23 that super-smooth downward run of "hey-ee-ey-ee-ey..." that ends with "bring it down a little. love is very peaceful, so bring it down a little" followed by crazy vocal ad-libs doubled with the Rhodes.
Have A Talk With God is one of my favorite Stevie songs. Period. It doesn't go too far into theology--just a simple reminder to connect with your spirituality. It is a suggestion rarely referenced in popular culture--its genius in that it's all tucked in a super funky track. Again, it's interesting to realize that Stevie chose to sequence this at the front of this album.
Contusion is allegedly Stevie's only musical allusion to the car accident that left him with a scar over his right eye and almost took his life--that did take away his sense of smell, and temporarily his sense of taste. This is especially interesting when you realize that he chose to do this with a complex and mostly joyful instrumental. The background vocals that start at 2:15 are some of my favorites of all time.
Stevie's trademark joie de vivre is continued with two of the most effervescent songs in history: Sir Duke and I Wish.
I had forgotten about the song Summer Soft--another one of my favorites. The only thing I don't love so much about the song is its many modulations (key changes) in the end. The first time it happens, it's the only right thing--a natural release. To my taste, a little of that goes a long way.
Speaking of a favorite that has flaws: Ordinary Pain. Stevie is the king of melody and harmony (and, let's face it, almost everything else). At 2:42 when the ending vamp comes in, it's a funky, gritty, shadow-self of the first half of the song. To me, the vamp just goes on for at least a minute too long.
Joy Inside My Tears again does the extended vamp thing, but more successfully.
If It's Magic? If? This song is magic. On the documentary, listen for an alternate version with an interesting piano part--though the final harp accompaniment is the magical pairing. My favorite moment? At 2:31, the way Stevie says "like".
As--with yet another super extended vamp. But it is beautiful, powerful, and right.
The close of the fourth side, and "proper ending" of the album is the latin-drenched Another Star. Again, it's the background vocals that prove to be touchstones for any singer. La-la-la-la-la, indeed.
The last 4 songs on the album were considered an EP, a third record sub-titled A Somethings' Extra. The "extra" songs here are some of the strongest for me. They are more bite-sized, and I like that. Saturn is one of my favorites. Ebony Eyes is a fresh and funky change of pace, I love the heavily filtered background vocals, and then the talkbox/vocoder. Because Stevie is so rhythmically and technologically advanced , his songs like All Day Sucker still sound super relevant.
The 21st and final track of the work as a whole is the second instrumental, Easy Goin' Evening (My Mama's Call). I don't love instrumentals--but this one, like Contusion before it, is an exception. It so perfectly resolves the vibe Stevie (and his musicians) spent an hour and 45 minutes creating.
[embed light]http://open.spotify.com/user/jessecor/playlist/2NeKAiAldrY3S65VLurcMd[/embed]
Will either of these albums change your life? I don't know. I think Songs In The Key Of Life may have changed mine when I heard it more than 15 years ago. I can say Stevie's 70's period changed my life (I devoured them all at once), but can't say if it was SITKOL alone that did it.
Beggar's Banquet is an interesting counterpoint to SITKOL. As obsessive and audacious as Stevie's record was, with new technologies acquired and harnessed in the aim of studio progress, Beggar's Banquet seems tossed off, its aim capturing simple and rustic moments of brilliance in the studio. Maybe if you are the more understated type, Beggar's Banquet can alter your trajectory too. I hope it does. We could all use some fresh lenses.

Recent discussions about fake news, Russian meddling in the US election, the Trump Administration's "alternative facts" and other topics have thrust a clinical domestic violence term into the public eye with unprecedented buzz. But do the bloggers and columnists who use gaslighting to illustrate their arguments risk expanding the term's meaning too broadly, divorcing it from practical applications for abuse victims?
The term itself is appropriated from popular culture. It derives from a scene in which a criminal husband lies about elemental features of reality in a plot to drive his wife insane. The 1944 film, called The Gaslight, led Ingrid Bergman to an Oscar win as Best Supporting Actress the following year.
In psychology "gaslighting" describes a form of deception frequently used by narcissists and psychopaths. It too often seeks to make targets feel crazy, frustrating efforts to make sense of one's reality so that the perpetrator can impose a false reality upon them. It's brainwashing that confuses, debilitates and distracts to achieve a slow, insidious torment.
Here are some of the surest ways to spot it:
1. Bizarre Contradictions
You were asleep six hours ago, so why "weren't you in bed" when your partner was looking there? What did you do with your spouse's vehicle title? He claims he gave it to you to put in a safe place. Neurologically abnormal people can lie in ways most people can't imagine, and they will use this versatility against you again and again, often surpassing absurdity. They might dispute the pronunciation of words you use correctly, the color of objects both of you remember seeing or the reading for your temperature when checking it with a thermometer ("You're not sick"). If the same person does this multiple times, something may be wrong.
2. Mystifying ManeuversEmpowHER writer Rheyanne Weaver writes that gaslighters may "move furniture around to confuse the victim and allow for more control."
They might deliberately misplace or steal items that aren't of use to them just to let you struggle in locating them later.
They talk "about you behind your back to make" friends and family "doubt their perception of you," blogger Kellie Jo Holly writes, aligning others against you in any way they can.
Eventually those close to you may "not believe you when you tell them the gaslighter is abusive or out-of-control," mental health counselor Stephanie Sarkis writes.
In the beginning gaslighters hook you and make you think they care for you. They embed kindnesses into their methods to keep you dependent on their approval, sporadically praising actions of yours that usually benefit them in some way.
Grief counselor and relationship writer Susan J. Elliott recounts that gradually, "you become so obsessed with the idea of getting credit, of finally doing the right thing," that it becomes difficult to put the meaning behind your tasks back into perspective.
3. In the Victim, Conspicuous Self-Doubt
You second-guess your thoughts all the time and often feel confused, writes Elliot. Eventually you may struggle in making simple decisions. The incessant barrage of lies, skillfully mingled with truths and half-truths, has eroded your ability to scrutinize or challenge the many claims your abuser makes.
You have no idea whether the next decision you make will be the safe one, and "even when you think you've done well or you've fool proofed everything to avoid criticism or ridicule," punishment will happen, Elliot writes.
Your abuser has confidently contradicted details of events you clearly remember; he has done this so many times that your memory has grown hazy.
"You no longer depend on what you remember because your abuser frequently tells you your memory is false," writes therapist Nancy Travers, who specializes in relationships.
4. Bold Lies
One of the most evident indicators of gaslighters are statements you once recognized, unambiguously, as false, but that you may have since written off as misunderstandings or dismissed altogether, writes Sarkis. They told you to your face that it happened differently, right? They did so without blinking or any hint of ambivalence, right? Because the people who lie in this way often have personality disorders, their sheer confidence will compel you to drop your differing narrative and, in so doing, accept the new precedent. They can then repeat the same lie or other lies until you wear down, collapsing into resignation.
5. Psychological Violence
Many of the responses your abuser gives when you try to resolve questions smack of thought-terminating absolutes. Community Against Violence Executive Director Malinda Williams offers several examples:
"I don't want to hear this again."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"That never happened."
"You never remember things right."
"You need to toughen up."
These statements have an invalidating effect and form part of an attack on the very foundations of your being. You grow reluctant to challenge them because you are afraid of the abuser's reaction.
"When called on their lies," Dr. Preston Ni of Psychology Today writes, "the gaslighter escalates the dispute by doubling and tripling down on their attacks."
They may express anger, Weaver cites, "because you don't believe their lies" or "try to shame you for not trusting them."
Now You Know
Weaver notes that gaslighting can take place within employment relationships and parent-child relationships as well as intimate partner relationships, citing a Psychology Today article by Dr. Robert Sterns. Sterns, who authored the 2007 book The Gaslight Effect, is associate director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.
One of the most important keys to protecting your sanity is recognizing what's happening and finding validation in some resource that corroborates your experience of events. In my next article, I will detail strategies you can take to further cope with these threats, beyond the blunt but conclusive solution of withdrawing yourself from the situation altogether. For the many who feel unprepared to take that step, I hope the information included in that piece (and within this one) proves helpful.

More trouble for Bhujbal, ACB to file charges in Kalina land case
According to ACB sources, the case involves a prime plot at Kalina belonging to the Mumbai University, which granted a four-acre plot to the state to construct a librarymumbai Updated: Mar 20, 2016 00:29 IST
In more trouble for Chhagan Bhujbal, currently in jail after being arrested for his involvement in the Maharashtra Sadan scam, the state anti-corruption bureau (ACB) has said it will file a chargesheet against him and five other government officials this month in the Kalina land deal case.
The chargesheet, several pages long, emphasises on documentary evidence, sources said. "As per directions of the court, the agency will file the chargesheet in the stipulated time," said a source requesting anonymity.
The chargesheet will have a detailed account of all the people connected with the Kalina land deal case, the documents that were acquired from the public works department (PWD) that Bhujbal was heading at the time and the minutes of all the meetings. "The documents were collected during the probe that has spanned months," the source said.
The ACB's case is against Bhujbal and five other PWD officials — Gajanan Sawant, who was then a sub divisional engineer, Harish Patil, an executive engineer at the time, Anilkumar Gaikwad, then superintending engineer, Sanjay Solanki, then undersecretary and MS Shah, the then secretary (constructions) — for allegedly causing huge losses to the state government by leasing out a plot to a private developer at a very low rate.
According to ACB sources, the case involves a prime plot at Kalina belonging to the Mumbai University, which granted a four-acre plot to the state to construct a library. The university decided to construct the library through a government entity, ACB stated.
The PWD department, under Bhujbal, allegedly issued tenders to construct the library in 2009 on one portion of the plot, and allegedly leased out the remaining land to a well-known developer for 99 years, at Re 1 per square metre, which the ACB said is illegal. The revenue department was kept in the dark about this deal and the collector was not informed, the ACB has alleged.
ACB sources said the five officers booked were overlooking the process when the fraud took place. Investigations also revealed documents were forged during the approval process.
The ACB has already filed a chargesheet against Bhujbal and 16 others in connection with the Maharashtra sadan scam. In December 2014, the high court had given the ACB a go-ahead to conduct an inquiry against Bhujbal, following which a special investigation team was set up that worked in co-ordination with the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED arrested Bhujbal's nephew Sameer in February, after which he was also arrested on March 14 and is currently under judicial custody.

The Traffic Study (draft) Report
A draft of the parking and circulation study prepared for the town by the Cape Cod Commission has been making the rounds, and it includes a number of recommendations for improving bicycling. The report is long at 80 pages and goes into detail on a number of questions that have been asked about traffic flow in town. It also addresses the need for more analysis of parking demand and developing a complete parking management plan.
Bike Recommendations
The short-term suggestions for improving biking are primarily paint:
Paint sharrows on Shank Painter Rd. from Bradford St. to Route 6
Paint sharrows on Bradford St. from Commercial St. to West Vine St.
Continue installing bike racks as recommended by the town Bicycle Committee
Medium term suggestions:
Survey Conwell St. from Bradford St. to Harry Kemp Way to see if it's possible to squeeze in a sidewalk or bike lane
Construct the Conwell St. Bicycle Improvement Project as designed
Long term suggestions:
Reconstruct Shank Painter Rd. with sidewalks and bike lanes (as recommended by the 2012 Shank Painter Rd. Corridor Study and the 2015 DART Report)
Don't Do This
There are lots of ideas that have been kicked around for a number of years, and the Commission evaluated a number of them to provide recommendations.
What it says town shouldn't do:
Don't make Conwell St. one way
Don't reverse High Point Hill Rd.
Don't reconstruct the intersection of Route 6 and Howland St. to allow left turns onto Route 6
Don't connect Alden St. to Route 6.
Don't paint bike lanes on Commercial St.
New Ideas
A couple of things were surprises:
An engineering design to reconfigure the intersection of Bradford St. and Standish St. makes its first public appearance
A suggestion to a sidewalk along Route 6 from Dunes Edge Campground to Race Point Rd. to provide better pedestrian access to town from the north side of Route 6.
Missing Details
Some detail was missing that I expected to see:
No data on bicycle counts (not even the counts that the Bicycle Committee completed in 2015 or the Commission's own counts)
No suggestions for regularly counting traffic to keep an eye on how it changes over time
No data on pedestrian counts
Nothing about developing a comprehensive sidewalk plan despite recommendations for a pedestrian wayfinding system
No mention of extending the sidewalk on Harry Kemp Way or improving the sidewalk on Howland St.
No analysis of the free on-street parking in the East End, on Bradford St., and elsewhere, though this is recommended as part of a parking management plan.
Survey Results
The report included the results from an online survey that about 125 people completed. The projects that received the most "strongly supported" votes were:
Improve Shank Painter Road for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians
Shuttles to/from remote parking areas
Parking maps and apps.
Overall, the study focused on circulation to/from the entrance to town from Route 6 to the MacMillan Pier parking lot and overall utilization of the town parking lots.
What's Next?
Much of the results reinforce what residents already know from experience -- there's too much traffic on Conwell St. in the summer and the downtown parking lots fill up quickly, causing visitors to drive around looking for parking spaces. That results in lots of cars milling around, causing congestion.
The short-term, bike-specific recommendations are simple, inexpensive things that can be done quickly without any changes to the roadway layouts. My hope is that the study report will kick-start town into prioritizing some of these transportation projects rather than waiting for the results of yet another study.
It's not clear how town will move forward once the study is presented (which I expect to happen at the Traffic Hearing on March 15 but don't have that confirmed yet). Does the Board of Selectmen need to vote to adopt the study's recommendations? How will potential projects be prioritized? Will there be a follow-up public process to get more input from residents? It will be interesting to see how the study is received and whether town takes this as an opportunity to act or sticks the study on the shelf to gather dust.

To paraphrase John Lennon, imagine there are no public schools, or private ones, too. That is what writer Julie Halpert ostensibly does in a new Atlantic article in which she purports to conduct a "thought experiment," first imagining a world of all private schools, then one of all public. But rather than coming off as a true, objective experiment, the piece reads more like a dystopian novel depicting the horrors of an imagined all-private system, while comparatively glancing past the many real, actually experienced stains and injustices of public schooling.
It's not auspicious that the article, before the "experiment" is even proposed, begins with a description of the posh Detroit Country Day School, which likely reinforces the impression that many people seem to have that private schools are snooty preserves of the uber-rich. Halpert notes that the price of Detroit Country Day for high school is about $30,000 per year, but doesn't mention that the average tuition at a private high school, according to the most recent federal data, is only about $13,000. That average price is high when you're comparing it to "free" public schools for which you've already paid taxes, but not Detroit Country Day high.
With commencement of the experiment we are given a little history…very little. Halpert completely bypasses American educational history prior to Horace Mann's crusade for common schools starting in the 1830s, noting only that some of our oldest high schools, specifically tony West Nottingham Academy and Phillips Academy, date back to the 18th Century. Halpert also writes that Mann was largely responsible for "the perception of education as a public good." She ignores the evidence the education was delivered in myriad ways and was very widespread prior to the common schooling crusade—about 90 percent of white adults were literate by 1840—or that it often had a heavily moral character geared at both the private and public good. This is a huge omission, leaving out evidence that largely private provision of education, though sometimes with a modicum of government funding, worked, at least for those who weren't subjugated by law. Law which was, of course, promulgated by government, the entity that would supply public schools.

These Stocks Have Dubious Marketing Strategies -- Should You Buy Anyway?
When creator John Pemberton introduced Coca-Cola to the world in the 1880s, he marketed it as an elixir. Today's executives are, in a way, returning to this maxim, with advertising that positions Coke as part of an active lifestyle, Fool contributor Tim Beyers says in the following video.
Think it's crazy for a company that sells carbonated sugar water to pitch fitness in its marketing? You're probably not alone, Tim says.
But Coke also isn't the only company whose marketing strategies have come under scrutiny. Monster Beverage is caught in a legal battle with the City of San Francisco over what officials say is an attempt to market to kids as young as six-years old.
Should investors care? Not as much as you might think, Tim says. Coke, in particular, has at times embraced questionable marketing strategies for more than a century, only to see profits, and the stock, rise like the foam head topping a freshly poured glass of the Real Thing.
Dividend stocks that investors need
That's why Warren Buffett still loves the stock after all these years. We're equally bullish. In fact, our Foolish analysts see Coke as one of three must-own dividend payers trading on the Dow Jones index. Care to learn more? Click here now for free and instant access to their research.

Can I Take That Wall Down?
With open concept being as popular as it is, one of the most common questions we get when showing houses is "Can I take that wall down?" As Realtors, our advice is to consult with a contractor or architect. At Hearth Realty Group we are fortunate enough to have an architect who is also Realtor on staff, Maplewood resident Camilla Flannery owner of Studio Vert Architecture. Camilla has helped hundreds of local residents with renovation projects big and small. So we asked Cami to share how she answers the question:
"Many of the houses in SOMA were built in the 1920's with formal, compartmentalized spaces. I have a great appreciation for the quality of the framing in these older houses, but the small rooms and divided spaces on the first floor most often no longer work for current family lifestyles. Many of my clients come to me wanting to create an open floorplan but are concerned about structural constraints.
My answer to them is: there are no constraints if the load is properly supported. I've opened up entire first floors with nothing but the center fireplace remaining and designed basements removing all the columns. So rest assured, with the proper structure, you can achieve most anything in the design of your remodel. It's very important to never attempt to remove a wall without the guidance of a licensed contractor, engineer or architect."
Whether you're considering updates or changes to your current home, in the process of buying a home and need some design help or you're in a "Love It or List It" phase, please reach out to Camilla Flannery for a consultation.
Hearth Realty Group is the #1 Independent Real Estate Agency in SOMA. We are a technology driven boutique real estate agency made up of experienced service-focused local experts who support our clients beyond the transaction. We strive to have a meaningful impact on the communities we serve through volunteer work and financial contributions to local charities. #LiveLocalSellLocal

Mitigating Risk
Client Objective: Client needed urgent risk analysis
Executive Management of this medium sized firm became aware that they might be losing their long-serving Senior IT Manager to a competitor and expressed two major concerns:
1. Will valuable business assets (data/software) be safe from risk of theft or tampering
2. Are systems adequately documented to allow for smooth transition to new support personnel, or might crucial knowledge depart with the employee and lead to costly support interruptions?
Solution: xiBOSS successfully conducted full phase risk analysis and mitigation
xiBOSS quickly dispatched a pair of experienced consultants to an off-site meeting with management and board members to gather information necessary for a Risk Analysis. This was followed by a proposal to undertake further investigation of potentially vulnerable areas under the guise of an "IT Process and & Security Review", which was presented to employees as the first step of a Board-ordered Business Continuity Planning exercise necessitated out of best-practice governance. With approval in hand, a suitably skilled audit team was struck, an announcement was made and the team was deployed.
The team used an ITIL-based approach to inventory IT services and assess service management vulnerabilities. Glaring issues were addressed in coordination with existing IT staff, and less critical items were detailed in a report to the board. Several xiBOSS team members were asked to remain engaged for several months following the study to help carry out the remaining risk mitigation.
Result, Benefit: Client suffered no service disruptions
The client did indeed lose its senior IT Manager after a period of time, but with the proactive steps that had been taken, the business did not experience any significant service disruptions. It also ended up with much more hardened set of documented service management processes.

John Knight by Jay Sanders (PDF)
The first collaboration with John Baldessari dates back 18 years. Celebrating 25 years of Parkett gives us a welcome opportunity to express our delight in the numerous exhibitions currently devoted to this artist's clear, serene and complex oeuvre. Since the 1960s, the Californian artist has also been well received in Europe, particularly among art professionals, and he has now become an important point of reference for many younger artists. Our relationship with John Baldessari is indication, once again, of Parkett's wide-ranging transatlantic trajectory—the theme of our 25th anniversary year (see Mark von Schlegell's contribution).
The other collaboration artists in this issue, Carol Bove, Josiah McElheny, and Philippe Parreno, share a predilection for imponderables; they work with the unfathomable, the spaces in between and the immaterial, consistently probing the potential of "as if." They enrich exhibition spaces, generating an atmospheric fluidum as in Philippe Parreno's speech bubbles on the ceiling and his glowing portico of light bulbs reproduced on the back cover. In contrast to the solemnity and promise of that installation, Josiah McElheny's display cases draw us into a "cold" self-contained universe of infinitely repeated reflections, where viewers can no longer recapture themselves.
Carol Bove assembles small items, relics, and shapes to create a pastiche universe and conjure a "historical past"—actually the 1960s, which also mark the transition between modernism and postmodernism, and, as Martin Herbert remarks, represent "an attempt to figure unreachable time as denser and trickier than popular history allows. In the same spirit, Liam Gillick comments on the "artist as a conduit not between things and people but between ideas and reception". Benjamin Buchloh and Franceso Bonami take up the notion of faceto-face, introduced in the last issue, to talk about the art world and "the absorption of artistic practices into the larger apparatus of the culture industry". Not plain initials, but monograms resembling the embroidery of our logo distinguish between John Knight and Jay Sanders, adding a playful note to the rational, analytical nature of their discussion on product design strategies. The Insert has been designed by Frances Stark.

This time around we'll be at The Linda, WAMC's exceptional performing arts studio.
In STEADY ON: Celebrating Lilith Fair at 20, we'll share songs made famous by luminaries from the revolutionary 1997-1999 festival created by Sarah McLachlan, including (many of my sheroes!) Shawn Colvin, Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin, Tracy Chapman and Suzanne Vega. We'll also be sharing original tunes inspired by these writers.
The Linda experience is truly unique and the connection between the performer and the patron is unlike any other. The intimate setting paired with impressive acoustics provides the audience with a personal exposure to art and artist on a local, regional and national level. Join us for a memorable evening of song and setting!
Show: 8:00 PM

When you have just spent 30 days on several domestic and international trips during the month of March consisting of spring breakers trying to get tipsy on a plane, 3 am morning wake up times, and paranoia of oversleeping your alarm…. You start to question your sanity and wonder when you are going to hit your breaking point.
And then you grasp you have seven days off at the end of the month and realize life is not as dramatic as you are making it out to be. I know I can be dramatic, but dang that was a rough month. I flew more in March than my time being with the company.
So, with 7 days off, you start to question where you are going to go on vacation.
"Shall I give up a few days to wait for someone to go with me somewhere?"
"Should I wait for anyone and everyone who will be able to pitch in for a cheap rate at a hotel?"
No. Travel solo Rach. Just GO.
"But, where to is the question?"
"Somewhere warm, relaxing, with vibrant culture, food, and amazing hospitality."
"Let me check the loads of passengers for every place warm outside of US. Getting anywhere domestic right now is a nightmare because of spring break soo hmmm…"
"Let's see…Puerto Vallarta looks beautiful. (Logs onto United Flying Together) 112 seats open. 8 open first class seats….."
Ever since I last visited Mexico I have been eager to return to a culture so inviting. My intentions of the trip was solely to relax and bring myself back to life.
I arrived at my gorgeous accommodation and immediately went up to the rooftop pool I was the most anxious to spend during my stay. Everyday there were maybe two people laying out. It was quite peaceful and serene. The sound of the pool water bubbling and the ocean waves competing with the overall zen atmosphere made me question how I could ever leave this paradise.
My first day was spent lounging around by the pool and catching up on sleep; Hoping I would not get burnt with SPF 55 on my face. I felt as if I had been sleep deprived for a whole month. Anyone who truly knows me does know I do not function well when I lack sleep. "NO. I would not like to get you three different drinks for yourself only, but I will because I have to". I guess I can be a bear.
It was a luxury to wake up to hear the waves crashing against the shore and ocean breeze drifting through my room. Every morning I would go for a walk around the town and decide where I would eat breakfast. I almost always got fresh-squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. I could not resist as I watched them juice the oranges right on the spot. Plus, it was ONLY 20 pesos ($1.00 USD).
I knew I had to go on at least one adventure while I was in PVR. I chose zip-lining and then decided I wanted to water taxi over to a secluded island called Yelapa consisting of waterfalls and Tarzan-like jungles
Once I got off the boat in Yelapa, I had to walk through a town consisting of small streets winding through the jungle. I came across an elderly man who was sitting right outside of his home. He spoke very little English, but he allowed me to go inside his home and meet his wife and mother who were making empañadas. Their smiles were so genuine and nice upon meeting them. I was struck by the ocean view sitting on top of the island. Oh how I wish I could move to a small island and wake up to an ocean every morning.
Zip-lining was not exactly what I expected. Or, I guess I did not even know what to expect. I was picturing a small zip line maybe 12 feet high or something. NO. I literally swung from branch to branch through a JUNGLE. If I was to fall, I were to die. There were water streams and rocks beneath me. But, was the view ever so gorgeous? The landscaping was as green as ever with little specks of sunlight beaming through branches of trees. There were little hints of fuchsia flowers blooming around me. It was exhilarating and it only made me more eager to try the next course. I had such a rush of adrenaline that I did not want it to stop. But phew, I was not expecting to actually hike up to each course. I was not mentally prepared to climb tons of stairs through a jungle and sweat profusely. Now I know why they asked us at the beginning of the hike if we had asthma.
One of my favorite nights in Mexico was the Mexican parade consisting of different styles of dance from each part of Mexico. These young males and females were unpaid dancers who dance for fun every Friday night hoping to make decent tips. I had never seen styles of dance so crisp and on point. I loved the vibrant colors and costumes. It was such an enjoyable night.
My favorite part about my stay at the hotel was every night, until about 10 pm, a band or recording would play old 60's and 70's music. I always had my windows open to listen to classical oldies music until I decided to go to sleep.
I made friends mainly with the locals and a few tourists. The front desk woman named Adriana said she does not understand why so many people are too afraid to talk and ask questions to her or to other locals. She probably was annoyed with me asking so many questions and trying to learn more about the culture and city. What I loved most about Mexican culture is the people. They are so welcoming and helpful it easily makes you feel as if you are in the right place.
One night I had dinner on the beach with very inviting company. What drew me in to the restaurant was the fresh coconuts and grilled shrimp on a stick. As I sat there sipping my coconut and watching the sun set, a man came over to my table with his ukulele and started serenading me to an old Mexican love song, in Spanish of course. It was a beautiful song, in which I had him translate at the end. I think he was trying to win me over. Almost had me. After he left, Leo, another local came over and conversed with me. We talked about everything. He asked why I enjoy travel and why I would travel alone.
I told him that I chose to travel alone on this trip because I got sick of waiting around for someone to go somewhere with me. In the flight attendant industry and any daily job, everyone has a different schedule and their own life to live; Or they have their own personal restrictions. I have learned that if you are always waiting around for someone or something, then it may never happen. You cannot let anyone hold you back from your goals and dreams. You have to go after what you want. If that means spending 7 days in Mexico alone because you want a beach getaway, then GO. You are never alone when you are open to adventure. You get to learn more about the culture and you learn more about yourself when you are open. You get to stop and take pictures if you want and not worry about being rushed along by a group of people. You make your own daily routine and sleep in however long you want. It is all up to you when you travel alone. I am not suggesting to always travel alone because is nice to share an experience with someone, but know that it is is okay to conquer a journey alone. The world is yours once you let go and live the life you imagined.
Another question I seem to be getting a lot of lately is, "If you are traveling alone, then who is taking your pictures?" To answer that question, I ask any stranger if I see a view I want to capture. I usually have this idea of what I want. I show them how I want them to position the camera and then I have them burst the photo so I have many options to choose from. It is very easy to be hands on with someone by showing them what to do, even if they speak little English. I know what I want out of the picture, so I will get it somehow. You cannot be afraid to ask a stranger. All they can say is no, right? But, most of the time they want a picture in return so it is a win for a win!
Cheers to Mexico! Now, can I move to a beach already!! 🙂

I had to answer to this several times yesterday.
We are currently in a time of changes and I am also someone who appreciate such work.
Since I've started in the team, we have been working on the security part of the game. Our next step now will be the game stability and then some new content.
This already takes time and is fundamental for a game. Having a competitive ranking system is something that can follow after all of this.
And here I agree totally. To make competitive matchmaking, this is something which grants an advantage. And competitive gaming should not be effected by an advantage of money.
We have other plans at the moment. More fundamental ones and something to bring some fresh air into the game. Once we have resolved all this and also gained more players back, we might could figure out a ranking and elo system.
Also, little hint: Concepts should have a bit more depth. Numbers are cool, but how are they related to each other? But I like the idea itself.
Totally understandable, as one of the cons I had building the project is the implementation within the current game that is as we all know is not ready yet for matchmaking, due to stability and lag issues. I only wanted to showcase and get some feedback on it, if its something that you guys would consider in the future, so I would do further progression and detailing with the project.
Pretty neat and organized video, Less CPD games more content on no rules Pain
Check out the next one. its linked in the post
And this
Hi, I will keep my videos under this post so its more organized.
Today`s video is a CPD practice where I focus on coordination. So I didn`t care about winning nor map pool.
NEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e40WoG9Revs
nightmarish5 there you go, I made one for ya
Why are you not playing unlimited then?
because as you can see the breakdown is based on OS. in guns it would be totally different. Also I made a CPD video just for you, so I also satisfy your comment my man. It`s not a game for win, but have a look if ur interested
next time make it a bit quicker tho, we didn't even see the scene properly and u took long af to talk. also maybe use cpd?
no cpd, and the breakdown was the focus here.
I would suggest you to use OBS something else for recording or change the settings a bit.
The doubled images that appears on the frames can be very annoying.
Yes thanks, i will do that next time.
np i play gun but when you make general "tutorial" on how to def you should maybe use weapons more people use o.o
im not gonna make a tutorial which based on limited weapons because then the outcomes for such plays will be narrow. get onto norule games man.
thats not the point tho. The point is if you make a "how to def" video you should either generalize it or use weapons that are popular right now. Videos like "why you should use exo and fists in td and how to use it" would ofc also be nice!
I will only be uploading breakdown videos based on no rule game modes, because TD is not meant to be played CPD. It might be more popular, but i don`t really care about that, as im not a CPD player. Thanks for the comment doe
its good for newbies not for the older players this could be a tutorial like video to them
ye exactly.
too lazy for other recordings
I just thought it would be a great addition which would spice things up a little. For custom games where there is a set team on each side, its a nice way of practice and to get used to a wider range of weapons.
why wouldn`t it change anything? explain?
Hello all,
I was thinking and wondering a lot of what could be the cure of all the CPD rooms we see exist today. We all know its kind of taking over and it is not really nice to see. There are many weapons and aspects of the game which are underused due to game titles being abused.
I was thinking of a game setting which would spice things up a little. I call it Multi-weapon (On-OFF). The main idea is that when turned on, it will limit the weapon use for each team to be only 1 or 2 depending on the party size. Let me explain how it works.
If the party size is set to 1v1/2v2 or 3v3 and the Multi-weapon is turned ON, then every weapon can be used within a team only ONCE. The rule applies for each team separately.
If the party size is set to 4v4/5v5 or 6v6 then every weapon could be used TWICE.
This means if someone equips dagg,cs,ps, then within that team, nobody else could equip those same weapons within the same team. So you have to discuss with your team who uses what weapon.
Please note that this feature is optional for room masters to enable and by default it would be turned OFF of course.
Pros: It would help pushing people to the direction of wide range of weapon use, better teamwork, no more CPD rooms, no more BR stacks and stunlock(by many people)
Cons: Randomly joined people would have to pick the weapons left to use.
Please comment and vote whether or not you think this idea is good. I want to hear everyone`s opinion, and if you think its not a good idea, tell everyone why in the comments!
Sure let's have all the veteran players bully the new players before they even get into the Rank 20+ channel.
you would be surprised by the amount of actual good players there. Also is it better to bully 20+ players in netsp1 with our mains? we bully here or there, no matter what if thats the word u wanna use lol.
Gotta get that 100% win-rate.
And yes, one of us still on 100%
Whoever is interested just msg me ur fresh character names and we will meet ingame.
Hello everyone,
Ye you didn't hear from me a good while, for a good reason. I didn't feel like investing more time into the game, but I and couple of my good friends came up with a new idea which really made me want to play the game again. We thought of the idea of creating new accounts and start everything from fresh, leaving our main accounts behind and begin a new adventure. This would put up new challanges and new fun to everyone. We aim to gather as many people as we can in our clan "Redefined" with some simple rules such as a lvl0 fresh account, no fight and toxicness within the clan.
I would love to see old players who got bored of the game, try this out with us, with a new "life" on s4. If you like the idea, please message me and we will continue from there.
There won't be such test matches or so, everyone is welcomed as long as the above rules are met.
Soon a discord group will also be made for this and would love to ask your help to spread the idea to as many of leaguers as we can.
Hope to see positivity and people joinging us!
See you in Redefined.
PS light attack range nerf,
Iron boots movement speed nerf + more sp consumption,
BR hard rework or removal of the game. (Too easy to use and with its damage and range, it can kill most of people without any effort)
Exo light attack increase, exo normal left click animation time reduce.
Fist more armor while hitting with right click.
Yea I dont mind guns or unli, but i think people just find os more challanging / interesting / unique to play as not many games have this kind of gameplay which is both smooth, require skill to be good and lots of other aspects. Ofc guns is a thing too and not easy but i feel like OS is more unique
XD wota fok. This is basically it LOL hahahahahahahahahahhahahaha Alkous
90% os - 10% gun&unli
i know..iknow.. but it just so trueee
Alot of OS rooms:
Lowe that bruv, its not a bad ting. this will never rly change. OS has more potential in s4 anyway in MY opinion (no hate)
Combi lul... something should be done with that system too lel.
Played with me back in 2013 on a siege game.
I don't know what you mean by that. can u explain ?
hehe. good luck man. keep that with those sik enchs.
I referenced the title of the majority of DM FM rooms its the meta.
Should think before taking action (real life ting). let papa pain teach u
Didn`t notice I highlighted the fact I meant to write sunday on purpose >.>"
Good job. I would like to see most of these in or having a poll or something as only one / perticipant is like meh.... what if there is only 1-2 people who can make very good 30 emojis with 2-3 different style
Has homework to do for tommorow. Yes tomorrow.
Im sure when it came out they had to mention that it has actual advantage over other daggers didnt they?
Well I didn`t have it. Keep in mind i don`t play a lot of scenario And indeed its not hard to notice that. non of us are stupid here
I would rather hear it from someone who can officialy say its a ting rather than just thinking its a thing when its not. wanna just make sure.
Ofc, there always be hackers. But for the love of god, secure at least the game files well enough so people cannot just modify their damage and what not. like if this was a thing in every game, it would be a nightmare

To engage abeo for ambulatory surgery center (ASC) coding services is to enter an efficient, two-way street. It's not simply sending your documentation to us. We actively assist you with clinical documentation improvement. That's because even the very best coders must translate what they receive. Medical coding is the function that justifies reimbursements, so it's in your best interests that documentation is complete and accurate. We also know it's in our best interests to help you get there.
For starters, abeo clients can affirm that we offer exceptional access to our coding resources to answer any questions. Clients are given direct contact information for their coding resources as well as coding leadership, and responsiveness is a top priority. abeo strives to provide 24 hour or less response time on all questions. Even in the run-up to the ICD-10 transition, when there were loads of inquiries, the abeo support team answered all questions in a timely manner – with every clarification meaning fewer items to potentially correct later.
We also offer an extensive and dynamic repository of online resources that cover coding concerns. This includes a complete series of webinars that clients can watch at their leisure, as well as tools such as ICD-9 to ICD-10 diagnosis crosswalks and a handy ICD-10 quick-reference pocket card. We've recently completed a 20-week email series of specialty tips that focused on specific challenges around the most common codes.
To complete the picture, abeo's ASC coding services include professional audits that examine client error rates, revenue impact and compliance issues, with comparisons to best practices and industry benchmarking. Auditors regularly present their findings in client-site meetings for detailed discussion.
The latest overall coding accuracy rate results were recently released and are published semi-annually so if you would like to request a copy, please email Shawna Lambert our VP of ASC Billing, Coding and Transcription.
Of course, we have an amazingly skilled coding staff. Every abeo coder nationwide maintains a continuous Certified Professional Coder (CPC) status. We rigorously audit all coding and publish report cards of our coding accuracy, which consistently runs around 98 percent (vs. the industry average of 95 percent or less). And our deep ASC domain expertise gives us exceptional familiarity with ASC coding modifiers and payer practices. With our coders' skills and performance – and the assistance we supply our clients for clinical documentation improvement – it's a time-tested solution for optimizing the coding that drives revenue cycles.
Looking for a partner to up your game? Coding services is just one of the ways abeo can help, send us and information request here.

I respect the quality of successful farmers to be cool with the inevitability and indeed, the need for the pulling of crops as soon as their rate of production starts to decline. It would serve me well to apply this mode of thinking and focus to my daily endeavours with Of Field and Forest.
I do try to view the process of growing food for public consumption with a clinical eye trained on efficiency and productivity and million dollar profits. However, tend to get distracted by all the vegetable babies still doing their thing on the doomed plant - just beginning on their journey to adulthood.
Maybe with practice I will be able to steel my heart against inevitability. Deep down though, I hope not.
Happy Friday!

When I first heard Frank Ocean's Nikes, I said, "Damn, that song was adventurous." Adventurous seems to
be the keyword in R&B lately. Take The Weeknd's new single I Feel it Coming as another example. It's
Childish Gambino takes this adventurous challenge and
redefines it by going retro-futuristic on latest single Redbone. Equal parts Parliament Funkadelic and Nikes, Redbone features a pitched up Gambino singing over thick groovy
nasty basslines.
Redbone's lyricism follows the lovey dovey theme established on Me and Your Mama. It remains to be seen
whether or not Gambino's new album, "Awaken, My Love," will flow as a concept
album like "Because the Internet."
One thing is for sure. This is not the same dude we heard
rapping on "Camp." This is an adventurer pushing the bounds of his genre. This
is someone who dares you to try and define him.
December 2nd couldn't come sooner.
