News and information service for Banaban Network Worldwide!
Women on Rabi Island suffer similar fate as those on other maritime islands when it is time to give birth – they have to leave their homes and travel to hospitals on the mainland. Rabi women, who made their submissions to the Constitution Commission at the weekend, said they needed to have $100 to travel to Savusavu Hospital to seek medical help.
Social worker, Terikano Takesau said the island has a health centre, a doctor and a nurse, yet, the women are told to travel to the mainland hospitals to deliver their baby. The state, Ms Takesau said needed to take responsibility by at least providing reasonable medical facilities to assist island women in their pregnancy. She said women who leave for mainland hospitals were burdened worrying about extra dollars to support them while on mainland; it is an expensive exercise. Then, these women also have to be away from their family in such crucial time. "There should be a provision in the new Constitution to allow equal opportunities for rural women, that they have access to this necessary health services as provided to those in urban areas," she said.
The plight of young women on Rabi was discussed with Ms Takesau calling for more job opportunities for Banaban women. "Most of our young women end up becoming school drop outs and they get married at very young age but are skilful but there is no form of employment available for them," she said.
Ms Takesau said the island also did not have access to dental health and TB facilities. She said neither did the island have any blood bank to deal with emergency cases. Representation in Parliament was another area discussed with Ms Takesau calling for 30 per cent of seats in parliament to be reserved for women. Among other submissions to the Commission included a call from the Banabans to the Government to appoint a Banaban to the constituent assembly when it is established to deliberate on the draft constitution.

So Radio it is. I have decided to skip the bar and keep listening to Radio Barca for the live feed from their game with PSG. The winner will qualify to the Semifinal of the European Champions League.
Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are already through. They could be joined today by the winners of this game and by the winners from the other tie between Juventus and Bayern Munich.
That other game is 2-0 in favor of Bayern after the first game in Germany. Bayern seem set to go through barring a great comeback by the Italian side. This game is 2-2 after the first game. It remains to be seen who comes out on top.
Needless to say, Barca are favorites playing at home at the Nou Camp. But you never know. That, amigos, is the beauty of football (a.k.a. Soccer)
Meanwhile, a thought occurred to me. It is going to be interesting next season when (it is likely) that Bayern under new manager Guardiola meet Barcelona – his former team.
These things do happen. But it is always fascinating when your loyalties are tested between your old and new loves.

Dreams Paperback / softback
by Daniela Sacerdoti
Part of the The Sarah Midnight Trilogy series
You never think it could happen to you. You never think that one day you'll stand in a graveyard, rain tapping on a sea of black umbrellas, watching your parents being lowered into the earth, never to come back.
It's happening to me. They said it was an accident. Only I know the truth. My parents were hunters, like their parents and grandparents before them, hundreds of years back, scores of ancestors behind me, fulfilling the same call.
I must follow in their footsteps. I am the only one left to keep the promise. I can never give up the fight, this fight that has been handed down to me, thrust upon my unwilling shoulders.
I'd rather be buried with my parents, my brave, fierce father and mother, who lived and died by the Midnight motto: Don't Let Them Roam.
Ever since her thirteenth birthday, seventeen-year-old Sarah Midnight's dreams have been plagued by demons - but unlike most people's nightmares, Sarah's come true.
Her dreams guide her parents' hunt as Sarah remains in bed, terrified but safe, sheltered from the true horrors of the Midnight legacy.
But all this is about to change. After the murder of her parents, she is cruelly thrust into a secret world of unimaginable danger as she is forced to take up their mission.
Alone and unprepared for the fight that lies before her, Sarah must learn how to use the powers she's inherited and decide whom to trust before it's too late...

A Coral Reef Algorithm Based on Learning Automata for the Coverage Control Problem of Heterogeneous Directional Sensor Networks
Li, Ming
Miao, Chunyan
Leung, Cyril
Date of Issue2015
School of Computer Engineering
Published version
Coverage control is one of the most fundamental issues in directional sensor networks. In this paper, the coverage optimization problem in a directional sensor network is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. It takes into account the coverage rate of the network, the number of working sensor nodes and the connectivity of the network. The coverage problem considered in this paper is characterized by the geographical irregularity of the sensed events and heterogeneity of the sensor nodes in terms of sensing radius, field of angle and communication radius. To solve this multi-objective problem, we introduce a learning automata-based coral reef algorithm for adaptive parameter selection and use a novel Tchebycheff decomposition method to decompose the multi-objective problem into a single-objective problem. Simulation results show the consistent superiority of the proposed algorithm over alternative approaches.

It's been an up and down couple days for the Targa GS 450h — after completing Day 1 with zero errors, Team Lexus fell back to 15th place on Day 2. And now, yesterday, they surged forward and ended the stage in 8th position. This is quite a feat, though driver Marc Lachapelle stays humble in his latest blog post:
Don't worry; we are not letting this good result get to our collective heads. There are still two full days of hard, fast and sometimes treacherous rally stages to complete before getting to the finish line in St-John's. Our goal has not changed. We want to bring our car there in perfect shape, with a happy crew.
I'm really enjoying the race blog, and still getting a kick of these short little video clips being posted on Youtube:

Cost-Cutting vs. Revenue Growth – The Deal Determines the Process
The best M&A shops do more than 1 deal a year. In fact not so long ago an active year meant 3-4 major deals a year, typically focused on the benefits of industry consolidation and cost cutting. Today, the landscape has changed. The best M&A shops do 10 to 20 smaller deals in the same amount of time, often simultaneously. And just for fun they'll throw in a major deal.
The objective today is to combine a number of complementary deals into a single strategic platform to pursue growth. The thought process is that it's better to acquire a string of smaller businesses and put them together into a unit whose growth potential exceeds the sum of its parts.
To do that many deals a year you have to have good processes. The best M&A shops adapt that process to the deal or, put another way, the deal determines the process.
Many deals under perform because companies take a one-size-fits -all approach to them. They use the same process to integrate deals made for back-office cost synergies as they do for deals done to ramp up sales.
These kind of deals, specifically those focused on raising revenues or building new capabilities, require fundamentally different approaches to sourcing, valuation, due diligence, and integration.
It is therefore critical for companies to understand what types of deals they seek for shorter-term synergies or longer-term revenue growth. To do that the company must know what types of deals it's capable of executing. Most companies have a style or skill-set. Are they best at cost-cutting deals or revenue-generating deals? And then they have to determine if a particular transaction is inline with the company's norm and capabilities.
The picture below lays out the different types of M&A deals and aligns them against whether or not they are focused on cost cutting or revenue growth.
Companies with successful M&A programs will adapt their approach to the type of deal they're doing.
If you're wondering how you build a company that you can sell for a premium in a few years, contact me to discuss the Valuation Amplification Process.

Das it: Volkswagen to ditch famous slogan
Volkswagen is to shelve its 'Das Auto' corporate slogan in the wake of the 'dieselgate' emissions scandal that has engulfed the firm in 2015.
Industry title Automotive News reports Volkswagen insiders believe the slogan – which means 'The Car', to be inappropriate for a company trying to demonstrate humility to customers.
It was created in 2007 under the leadership of former boss Martin Winterkorn as part of a strategy to make Volkswagen the biggest car manufacturer in the world.
The firm briefly achieved this ambition in 2015 – before the dieselgate emissions cheating scandal erupted and saw sales plummet: recently, registrations have fallen 20 per cent in Britain and are down in other key markets such as the United States.
2,000 group managers were reported to have discussed the Das Auto slogan as part of a planned image regroup for the under-fire brand – managers reportedly believe it demonstrates regal arrogance out of step with the 'new' Volkswagen.
The image shift even apparently extended to managers taking off their ties at the pre-Christmas conference last week – "unheard of" in the Winterkorn era.
Volkswagen hasn't actually decided quite what form the new marketing campaign and slogan will take, but an insider confirmed Das Auto is no more.
The new slogan? Simply, 'Volkswagen'.

I feel like things are finally settling into a comfortable groove. I've caught up on my sleep, I think I have the upper hand on the boxes and now when Jeff works on the house, the kids and I are right here with him instead of an hour away. The kids have adjusted well too. They're getting back to some of their regular routines like their animal chores. They're in charge of feeding and watering all of the animals, gathering eggs and breeding rabbits. That's what they've been doing every morning this week. Breeding the rabbits. Every morning the girls put a new female in with the male and keep an eye on the pair to make sure they're "successful.". There very familiar with the process since we've been doing this for a while but this year we have a whole new set of breeding rabbits so they've had to keep an extra close eye on them. They're first timers. This morning, shortly after the girls got started on their chores, they both came running in to tell me how good today's female is at "it."
Gracie: "She's really good at it! You should come watch her!"
Me, suddenly feeling slightly uncomfortable: "Oh yeah?"
Madison: "Yeah! She lays down and even snuggles her head under him."
Me, unsure what to say to that: "Really? Huh."
Gracie: "Yeah! They're doing it a lot."
Me, trying not to look them in the eye: "That's good."
Gracie: "The boy's really good at it too! He's even doing it backwards!"
Me, just before the sudden tunnel vision and hearing loss render me dead on the floor: "What the???"
Then they turned around and rushed back out of the house to get back to supervising. Should I be concerned? Don't tell me. I don't really want to know. Then I might have to supervise the rabbits myself while they breed...like rabbits. gasp!
I don't know why I feel so compelled to share this with the world. Maybe the solitude out here is already getting to me.
Amen and amen!

Being well prepared for a technical interview requires a sound knowledge of the topic along with the confidence that shows in your answers. Though nothing beats the palpitations and invisible sweat beads you experience during a CSS interview, to the point answer without beating around the bush is the best way to ace a CSS interview.
You might be well versed with CSS topics, but here is a list of CSS questions which you cannot afford to ignore while preparing for a CSS interview.
1. How would you describe CSS? State some uses of CSS language. Cascading Style Sheets is style sheet language. You can use it to elaborate on a document format as markup language. It delivers an extra feature to HTML. You can use it along with HTML to change the appearance of a web page and user interfaces. Major CSS functions are to remodel your old HTML documents. With the help of few alterations in CSS code, you can completely transform the way your website looks. It finds major applications in the development of user interface for web and mobile applications. 2. How can you add CSS properties to HTML documents? There are 3 different ways in which you can confer CSS properties to HTML documents. You can insert Inline CSS in a single line/element in the HTML document. You can write Internal CSS in the head section of HTML to apply CSS a single HTML document or page. You can use External CSS to apply CSS on more than one page or all pages by writing CSS code in a CSS file. Then you must link this style.CSS file to the relevant HTML pages and use the link tag in the HTML head section. 3. Can you shed some light on CSS selector? A CSS selector is a chain of HTML elements associated with a declaration. It can also be described as the connecting link between an HTML document and the Stylesheet. As the same suggests, you can use a CSS selector to select the HTML elements based on their class, type, Id etc. Different types of CSS selectors are: • Element selector • Id selector • Class selector • Universal selector • Group selector 4. Why do you need CSS preprocessors? CSS preprocessors are the abstraction layer that lies over CSS. These special languages assemble down into CSS. You need them to manage CSS easily in the context of using components like variables and mixins to manage, say for example CSS vendor prefixes. You can utilize CSS preprocessors like Sass, Less and Stylus to do best practices like CSS compression and concatenating is an easier manner. 5. How does a CSS Float work? CSS float is a property which you can use to position an element. It is done in a way that other elements can wrap around it. You use CSS float property with images and layouts.CSS elements can be floated horizontally only. This means that they can either move to the right or left to be displayed. The elements that follow the CSS float will wrap around it. Elements which lie before the floating element will remain in the same position. 6. What are the techniques that you can employ to clear floats? CSS floats are very common and so is the problem associated with the collapse of floats. When a float collapses, the floated element fails to add to the height of the parent element. This means that if the parent element is fully composed of float elements, the collapse will reduce its height to 0.You can use the following techniques to deal with a collapsed float: • You employ a micro-clear fix. • You make the parent element float. • You may also choose to subject the parent element to an overflow property, apart from 'visible'. This technique has a downside of shadow cropping. 7. How do you differentiate CSS3 from CSS? CSS3 is essentially the advanced version of the original CSS. Both CSS2 and CSS3 are segmented into modules whereas CSS is an unsegmented language. CSS3 has many additions which help to perform multiple tasks in the swiftest manner. You can use CSS3 to handle media queries for responsive web design, which is not possible with CSS. You can use CSS3 for different browsers; CSS doesn't support varied browsers. CSS3 is laced with several new features in a combinator, selectors, pseudo elements and style properties. You can use new colors like RGBA, HSLA and HSL with CSS3. 8. What does CSS Image Sprite do for You? CSS sprites are the combinations of several images in a page. Every image on a page requires separate HTTP requests. This means that loading all these images will cost you a lot of time. The concept of CSS sprites is to compile all images on a web page into a single image and reduce the total number of HTTP requests. As a result, you need lesser time to load a web page. Your answers allow the interviewer to get an idea about your skills and practical knowledge. Make sure to exhibit your qualities by giving precise yet adequate answers. Be ready for any on-the-fly questions with confidence and a smile on your face. Browse the latest CSS job vacancies at Monster.

Jeeps and Full Size "Off-Road" Left Out of New Fed Report?
On September 20, 2018, the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account (ORSA) and the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released updated data that shows the outdoor recreation economy accounted for 2.2 percent ($412 billion) of current-dollar Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2016. The BEA report notes the outdoor recreation economy grew 1.7 percent in 2016 which was faster than the 1.6 percent growth for the overall U.S. economy.
These updated fiscal numbers are an increase from an earlier BEA preliminary report issued in February 2018 that showed the outdoor recreation economy accounted for 2.0 percent ($373.7 billion) of current-dollar GDP in 2016.
BEA Chart on Recreation Economic Impact
The new report states that motorcycling/ATV'ing activities accounted for $20.3 billion of real gross output in 2016, representing one of the fastest-growing activities at 8.0 percent growth from the previous year.
After an initial review of this new report, I believe BEA may actually be under reporting the economic impact of "off-road" motorized recreation. While BEA should be commended for dis-aggregating motorcycle and ATV use from other motorized activities such as RVing, it appears the agency has failed to capture the direct and growing off-road economic impact of larger OHVs such as Side x Sides (SxS), Jeeps, four-wheel drive pickups, and all-wheel drive SUVs.
Further, I could not find where BEA captured the economic impact that comes from off-road motorized access to non-motorized recreation activities such as hunting, fishing, driving for pleasure, races, and wildlife viewing which are often highly dependent on motorized vehicle use. This is a huge loss of important data affecting these numbers.
In my capacity as a ModernJeeper and President of Quiet Warrior Racing/Consulting, and you can quote me on this: "I believe BEA should try and capture the 'off-road' motorized recreation economic benefits where the larger OHVs are used as the primary activity or they provide access to non-motorized recreation activities. Most federal and state land agencies consider any motorized vehicle to be an OHV or off-road vehicle when being operated on native surfaced routes."
There are huge economic benefits associated with off-road recreation. A growing number of rural economies are based on SxS and/or street-legal OHV use. Also, off-road recreation oriented manufacturing, aftermarket, and vehicle dealers deserve to have their economic impact factored into future BEA reports.
This BEA economic impact report provides land agencies and government officials with important information that can and should be used in current and future recreation planning effort — but it needs to consider all aspects of off-road, including full size and larger OHV's.
Don AmadorOctober 2, 2018 #4 Author
I think it actually was not intentional but a result of an incomplete understanding at BEA of the larger "off-road" picture.. Let's be ready (off-road industry/users/etc.) to work with BEA to help them better understand the off-road economy if and when they do an update.

I concur with Don.

I recently attended the LCFWDC Chile Challenge at Caballo Lake, NM. I believe over 200 people attended as drivers or riders plus more who came along for the camping. This event, now in it's 28th year, has had a very large economic impact in the area. In addition, the club works with the NM State Parks Dept and the BLM to hold the event.
This year, like last, a number of BLM staff personnel attended and rode along on the events to better understand what we were doing and why we do it. They saw for themselves we are very responsible in caring for the enviroment as well as ensuring all the events were safe. Now, after many years, the people within the BLM are learning to understand why we love to drive off road or even on road. Instead of just young people, they saw older retired people who love to visit the outdoors. Some use Rock Crawler's while others drive Toyotas. These events are for entire families to enjoy and so they do represent multi-use purposes. Our club has been working with them for a lot of years; now they are seeing how we handle ourselves and the BLM and NM State want to continue working with us, not against us.

Harry, thanks for sharing what is a great example of a strong relationship/partnership between the event promoters, users, and the agency. "A rising tide lifts all trails…"

Love is tough, but it has to be. I read a great blog post the other day, you can find it here: Hope Flinchbaugh
It challenged me. There are so many places I don't really want to go. It's not like God is going to send me to hard places because He's mean and wants to see me squirm. But because He loves me so much, and wants to see me conform to His image and reflect His beauty in this world, He takes me places that require me to love like He does. I'll be honest, there are times that I'm tempted to shirk that responsibility. He loves unconditionally. That's not always a fun thing for me to do in this mortal body. There are people that know how to 'push my buttons' and get away with it.
I find myself wanting to challenge God with, 'Does loving them mean I have to like them?' Love the sinner, hate the sin. That's the truth, but so often, a person's sins follow them around and scream in your face as you're trying to love through the hurt they've caused.
I don't think I've met anyone that I cannot say I love, honestly. But there are people that try my patience and challenge my sanctification. Yet, I constantly feel the hand of my Father on my shoulder as He reminds me yet again that this is easier to do when I allow Him to love through me. And it's easier to do when I let Him help me forgive. 7 x 70? (Matthew 18:21-22) Who keeps count? I don't have time for that – besides, the point is to always forgive. Always.
Is someone having a hard time loving me today? Is someone struggling with forgiving me for something?
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. - Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV)
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. – Mark 11:25-26 (KJV)
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. – Luke 11:4 (KJV)
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. – Luke 23:34 (KJV)

We stayed yet again at Villa Rising Sun! Can't say enough great things about this place. It is like home away from home. Spotlessly clean inside and out. The beach is stunning and the dock is a great place to hang out. Mark, Sabrina, and Tango are the perfect hosts! We always love staying at Villa Rising Sun!

We stayed at Villa Rising Sun for 6 nights. Our experience was fantastic and we loved our time here. The property is spacious, private, clean, with a fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals and everything is very well maintained. The location is also great. You are close enough to stores, restaurants and the things Hopkins has to offer, but in an area where you feel like you are at your own private resort. Mark and Sabrina are awesome hosts. They ensured we had everything we needed to make our time in Hopkins that much more comfortable and enjoyable/memorable. Cheers Mark and Sabrina, and thank you! Mirko was great, and always responsive. Assisting with various questions throughout the reservation process, coordinating transportation to and from the airport, putting us in touch with James to get a golf cart, and booking all of our excursions, and making the process virtually seamless for us. We just needed to know what time to be ready to leave, and the rest was taken care of. Mirko removed a lot of the things that can be stressful during vacation - allowing us to focus more on enjoying our time and the activities we chose to do. On a couple of the evenings during our stay, we also asked Shelly to prepare some authentic local meals for us. Once we chose from the suggestions she made, she picked up the groceries and brought everything over to the villa to cook the meals. The food was absolutely delicious, and another one of the great experiences we had during our time staying at Villa Rising Sun! Unfortunately, our vacation had to end, but thank you all for the memories! Overall, we had a great experience from start to finish, and loved our time at Villa Rising Sun. My family and I would highly recommend this property if your travels take you to this area.

Great property. Awesome hosts in Sabrina, Mark and Tango. Property Manager was very thorough from booking thru visit. Watching the sunrise from the deck swing every morning was amazing and ending the day with a cold beverage at the tiki bar was perfect. Meeting the locals (Victor, the beach security guard; Leticia who made fresh orange juice and her daughter to the little boys selling banana cake in town) made us love Hopkins.
The villa had everything we needed for our stay. Fully stocked with kitchen supplies, plenty of towels, beds were comfortable.
It was an awesome trip!
Had such a great time at Villa Rising Sun and loved Hopkins! House had everything we needed and more.
Very clean and hosts were very helpful giving recommendations for eating out in the village. It was a nice feature to have the bar right on the beach as well. Going to miss the view of waking up to the ocean every morning. We will be back at this rental again for sure!

Villa Rising Sun was perfect for our family of five. We arrived late afternoon; there to great us was not only Mark and Sabrina but Mirko as well.
We spent 8 nights at VRS and cherished every one of them. Every other day we enjoyed the amazing beach/dock in the back yard. The care taker Angel, was so very kind and knowledgeable about the vegetation and animals on or near the property. He was kind enough to even let our kids experience fresh coconut right off of a tree. When we were not enjoying the still waters at VRS we were enjoying all that Belize has to offer; fishing, snorkeling, cave tubing and or zip lining. All of the excursions were booked the day before via Mirko and surpassed all of our expectations.
Mark and Sabrina (and Tango) could not have been better hosts. From sharing their property to making sure everyone had everything necessary, to providing vast information on local food, people and culture.
Mirko was excellent in providing us amazing opportunities on our excursions that all came with awesome guides.
We truly enjoyed the time spent at VRS, Hopkins and the surrounding area.
Our kids are already talking about a repeat visit next year. Until then, we hope that you too will enjoy VRS as much as we did!
Happy in Hopkins!

We enjoyed our time at Villa Rising Sun so much!! The beach at your doorstep, the tiki bar, the accommodations, and mostly the service is all outstanding. Mark and Sabrina go above and beyond to welcome you, take you to all the hotspots in town, and make sure you have everything you could possibly need. The villa is in a great location; getting in and around the town was easy. Everyone we encountered was incredibly hospitable. We would definitely love to return! Thanks to all, who helped us have a fantastic vacation!

Their rental property is definitely a paradise that you must experience. The property manager Mirko was amazing, always made himself available to help us plan and schedule our day trips. We can't thank him enough, we were a large family so at times some of us were going in different directions and trips and he made it so easy. The house and the beach is so clean it is perfect. We will definitely be back!!!

Many Kickstarter campaigns over the last few years have boasted a return to "old-school" design sensibilities, but few were quite as exciting as Project Eternity. Obsidian is home to developers behind some of the most beloved isometric RPGs in history, and the prospect that the likes of Chris Avellone might again work on the kind of game they used to make in Bioware's Infinity Engine was an exciting one indeed. Judging purely in terms of monetary success, backers found it even more exciting than the prospect of a new Tim Schafer point-and-click, as Project Eternity managed to beat Double Fine Adventure's Kickstarter record with a whopping $3,986,929. (it would take another isometric RPG, Torment: Tides of Numenara, to break the record agan)
Since then, the project has been given a proper title: Pillars of Eternity. With each announcement related to the game, the fervor of its fans only seems to grow. Last month, backers were able to enter a special closed beta, exploring side content in the game from levels 5-8 (Obsidian is very insistent that nothing in the main story be spoiled). At PAX I was able to sit down with this beta build and see how the game squares up against its own hype (not to mention its immense budget). I saw a lot within a very short time frame, and I'm a little baffled, but also thoroughly impressed.
Pillars of Eternity is a daunting game. With six races and eleven classes to choose from, as well as specializations within each class, there are more ways to play it than any one player will ever be able to try. And you shouldn't go in expecting just standard fantasy fare, either – Obsidian went and invented a slew of original classes and races for Eternity's world. Pillars is deeply customizable in ways that no modern-style RPG can match (at least, not within a reasonable budget). If you've missed the openness afforded by 2D graphics and largely text-based stories, then you won't be disappointed.
Another tradition that Pillars of Eternity proudly upholds is that of brutal, crushing difficulty. If you don't keep careful tabs on your party, most of it will end up dead within a few seconds of entering combat. Enemies in this game are tough, and defeating them requires strategy. You can pause the action at any time to issue orders to your allies, and you'll need to do so liberally in order to react to threats and survive. It's a meaty combat system that leaves you with plenty of angles to cover and possibilities to worry about. In many ways, it feels like a classic tabletop system, complete with a virtual d100 (which can be made visible or hidden depending on your preferences). The difference is that battles move much more quickly, and are measured in seconds rather than rounds.
Outside of combat, you'll need to manage your characters' status. You can recover from battle by resting, but doing so consumes limited camping supplies – you won't be able to stay out in the wilderness indefinitely. On higher difficulties, you can only carry a few supplies at a time, so you'll need to make frequent trips back to town to restock and rest at the local Inn. Of course, there are other items that you'll need to keep a large stock of as well, such as food and potions. Pillars of Eternity makes use of a crafting system that allows you to create your own items, as well as modify your equipment.
Pillars of Eternity asks you to do a lot of number crunching, but the game isn't driven solely by combat. Obsidian has crafted a rich, robust dialogue system that makes use of multiple social stats and allows you to make big, story-altering decisions. Your character will develop a reputation for being serious or snarky, generous or selfish, depending on the choices that you make, and this reputation will color how people react to him in future encounters.
It must be noted that Pillars of Eternity looks gorgeous. Pre-rendered backgrounds are something of a lost art in the modern game industry, but Pillars use of them to great effect. Not only are the backdrops detailed and artful, they're quite impressive from a technical standpoint. Streams and rivers are brought to life with spectacular water effects, and the lighting on every scene can change to reflect the time of day. I've never seen anything with this level of fidelity and artistry, and I'm eager to see more.
Pillars of Eternity is the throwback that old-school RPG fans have been craving, but with modern production values that will let it shine on powerful gaming rigs. With myriad gameplay systems to sink your teeth into and an epic, branching storyline penned by some of the industry's best talent, this is one of the most promising RPGs in production right now.

We were updating the whole places sidebar when the trash changed. This effectively removes all rows and create new ones for every trash state change. Although when using GtkTreeView it was somehow ok, with the new implementation with GtkListBox this effectively locks the UI while the trash operations are being performed. When performing operations for i.e. 100 files, the UI can be locked for more than 1 minute since gvfs-trash usually takes time. To fix this just update the icon of the trash when the state of the trash change instead of the whole sidebar. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76267720cf42c9

Top 5 Blue Marlin Lures - Port Stephens 2018 Garmin Billfish Shoutout!
Posted by Brent 'Hammer' Hancock - Port Stephens Tackle World on 7th Feb 2018
The blue marlin, one of the largest and most striking fish in the ocean, is also one of the most exciting species of fish to catch. Blue marlin fishing is not child's play - but then again, neither is the $100K prize for 'Heaviest Blue Marlin' (over 236kg) up for grabs in the 2018 Port Stephens Garmin Billfish Shootout! If you're serious and you have the guts to try, here's what you need to know, according to Brent 'Hammer' Hancock, to reel in a blue marlin...
In the past, conquering blue marlin was left to the 'big boys' of competitive game fishing. But with a little knowledge and lot of determination, landing a blue marlin is certainly within reach. As with any sport, your greatest chance of success starts with having the right gear and knowing how to use it.
Large skirted lures have been the go-to blue marlin lures for decades. Skirted lures can be rigged up with hooks and trolled as lures, or they can be used as teasers in conjunction with bait. Trolling for blue marlin is by far the most effective way to cover water and find fish. It can be extremely fast-paced and dramatic as well as monotonous and uneventful, but more often than not it's a combination of both - hours of boredom interrupted by seconds of absolute frenzy!
After many enquiries, I've put together a suggested blue marlin spread for the 2018 Garmin Billfish Shootout. All proven performers in our local Port Stephens waters, here's my Top 5 Blue Marlin Lures...
SHORT CORNER: Monster 16" Cracker in Zacatak
Blues love smashing lures in close to the boat. In motion, the Cracker is turbulent - popping up out of the water before completely disappearing underneath, erratically wavering left to right and mesmerising fish towards the boat.
LONG CORNER – Monster 16" Roach in Wasp
The Roach is a stable lure in all conditions, with a wicked head shake for maximum vibration. producing a nice big smoke trail, the darker colours of this lure contrast with the Magenta Pink inner skirt to provide contrast in the boat wash!
SHORT RIGGER – Extra Large 14" Smoka in Delta Blue
The Smoka features a long, turbulent smoke trail and tight continuous action, perfect for chasing blues.
LONG RIGGER – Large 12.5" Sprocket in Green Luminescent
The 'go-to' lure in any spread. Enough said.
SHOTGUN – Medium 10" Thunderstruck in Sacred Saury
This is probably the most exciting new marlin lure on the market. The first time it was run, the Thunderstruck was smashed by a blue marlin within ten minutes! The blue green luminescent inner skirt of this combo lights up in the water, enticing blue marlin into your spread.
It can be easily argued that blue marlin are the most thrilling fish species to tame, hence why so many tournaments centre around blue marlin fishing. Raising a hefty blue marlin up to your spread and watching it smash your lures will be a moment you won't ever forget - especially if you're taking home $100K!
Come in and chat to us at Tackle World Port Stephens to get advice on gearing up for the NPSGFC 2018 Garmin Billfish Shootout or phone us on (02) 4984 2144 to pre-order your lures for delivery in person at the Briefing Night, on Friday 16th February 2018.
See you there and good luck!

Sending Vitally customer data to Intercom
Vitally's Intercom integration can be used to attach data we track about your accounts back onto your Intercom companies as
custom_attributes. This article explains how our push integrations work as well as the data we will push to Intercom.
Note that our push integration with Intercom adds data to your existing Intercom companies. We will not create new companies in Intercom.
Additionally, we do not create users in Intercom. Thus, there is no risk of increasing your Intercom bill when using our push integration (since Intercom charges by your number of users).
How data gets attached to your Intercom companies
We'll modify 2 attributes on your existing Intercom companies:
monthly_spend- We'll set this value to the MRR of the account in Vitally. Note that you can disable this if you like.
custom_attributes- We'll add fields listed here to each company's
custom_attributesin Intercom, prefixed with "Vitally" to easily allow you to determine which attributes were added by our integration. We also transform attribute names using the 'start case' method so they are more readable in Intercom. For example, we'll add a custom attribute named "Vitally Type", which will specify if the account in Vitally is a trial, unqualified trial, or subscribed customer.
How data gets attached to your Intercom users
Vitally gives you the ability to identify the user at each account that 'owns' the account (see Account Owners). As owners get assigned/changed in Vitally, we'll update a
custom_attribute named
Vitally Account Owner on your Intercom users. If the user is an owner of the account in Vitally, we'll set the attribute to
true - otherwise, it will be
This is currently the only attribute the push integration attaches to your Intercom users.
Important note about
Intercom's support for custom_attributes is pretty limited. They only allow attributes to be of a string, boolean, or integer type - arrays or objects are not allowed sadly. Given that, we modify the below fields in the data we push to Intercom:
currentElementCounts- Because Intercom cannot handle objects, we do not send this field to Intercom. Instead, for each Element you create, we'll add a new attribute in Intercom using your Element name (prefixed with "Vitally"). The value will still be the count of Elements at that account.
For example, if you have an Element titled "Slack Integration", we'll attach an attribute named "
Vitally Slack Integration" to the company in Intercom. If the account has enabled the integration, the value will be
1. Otherwise, it will be
currentSuccessMetricValues- See the process documented above for
currentElementCounts- we'll do the same for your Success Metric values (i.e. the attribute will named "Vitally " + the metric's name, and the value will be that account's current metric value).
activeOpportunityIndicators- Rather than the value being a hash of Indicator name + date pairs, we'll send a comma-separated string of any active Indicators at that account instead. For example, if the account has 2 Risk Indicators active called "Churn Risk" and "Unengaged customer" in Vitally, the attribute attached to the company in Intercom will be named "
Vitally Active Risk Indicators" with a value of "
Churn Risk, Unengaged customer".
segments- Since Intercom cannot process arrays, we'll also send any segments the account belongs to as a comma-separated string.
Given the above limitations with Intercom's attributes, it is important to follow these best practices:
- If you change the name of an Element or Success Metric in Vitally, that will also change the name of the attribute we send to Intercom, resulting in multiple attributes in Intercom (one for the old name and one for the new). Therefore, you'll either want to avoid changing Element/Success Metric names in Vitally and/or archive outdated attributes in Intercom.
- If you delete an Element or Success Metric in Vitally, your attributes will still exist in Intercom. You'll likely want to archive the corresponding attribute in Intercom after deleting the data in Vitally.
With our data now on your Intercom companies, you'll be able to leverage Intercom's powerful messaging capabilities to auto-engage your customers using our insights. And since our Intercom integration also syncs your customer conversations, you'll be able to view your new conversations in Vitally!

Using motorcycles to survey in Haiti
Hey All,As part of the CAP103 project, financed by USAID, being run in the North of Haiti right now we have started coordinating motorcycles for survey purposes.[inline:IMG_2619.JPG]The purpose of using the motos is two-fold:1. To be able to transport teams of OSM surveyors to remote locations it would otherwise be difficult to reach.2. To be able to collect a solid network of GPS traces for the area's major and minor ways. Once collected, they can be used as a resource for setting offsets and positions for any aerial imageries.

If you're looking to spring clean your home this season, it's a good idea to invest in a quality vacuum if you don't already own one.
How do you go about choosing one, though? Well, different vacuums are designed for different needs. We have guides to the best overall vacuums, best handheld vacuums, best cordless vacuums, and best vacuums under $300. But if you're looking for a couple quick and easy options, Amazon has you covered.
Here, you'll find the two most popular vacuums on Amazon based on customer reviews and ratings — a full-size standing vacuum and a handheld one. Have a look:
If you want a full-size standing vacuum: Bissell
Bissell's model is by far the most popular standing vacuum on Amazon. It has a 4.3/5 star rating after being reviewed nearly 9,000 times, which is impressive.
The positive reviews cite the vacuum's versatility and ease of use. It allows you to reach tighter spaces with its included Turbobrush attachment, and its internal dirt bin is easy to clear out without making a mess. At $90, it's reasonably priced given how much use you're likely to get out of it.
BISSELL 9595A Vacuum with OnePass, $89.99
If you want a smaller handheld vacuum: Black + Decker
For anyone living in smaller space, it may make more sense to buy a handheld vacuum. It's the perfect tool for quickly cleaning up accidental messes and giving your sofa a little touch-up.
Most reviewers on Amazon liked this model by Black + Decker, highlighting its lithium ion battery, which keeps a charge for an impressive amount of time.
A handheld vacuum is a simple addition to your closet that could make your apartment a whole lot cleaner.
Black + Decker CHV1410L 16V Cordless Lithium Hand Vac, $58.09

We aim to highlight products and services you might find interesting, and if you buy them, we get a small share of the revenue from the sale from our commerce partners, including Amazon. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, is an investor in Business Insider through his personal investment company Bezos Expeditions. We frequently receive products free of charge from manufacturers to test.

How did you get into metalsmithing?
I was searching for an alternative creative outlet removed from the food world that I have spent my working career in. I needed a new medium that still let me use my hands and tell a story, but without being edible. (ring)
What inspires you?
The natural world inspires me the most. I look to the scenery around me for form and functionality. Themes are important to me. I like to set an idea and then open up the drawing books to let the creative juices flow. I research botanical illustrations, animal anatomy, and maps to help ground my wandering mind. (earrings)
What is your design process?
Draw, draw, draw. I try to draw in my books daily, even if I feel that is not consistent with what I'm working with at the moment. It helps me keep a log of what I was feeling at the moment. I also make prototypes for myself that I can where out and see the response I receive. The responses help me know if the piece is liked by the collective and not just myself. (earrings)
What is your favorite tool?
I'm currently obsessed with my soldering pick. It can be a challenge at times, kinda like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. The benefits out way the juggling act with cleanliness on the piece.
What is on your bench right now? My bench is a bit of mess currently with some research and development happening. I will say that there is a strong presence of opal and rutilated quartz with silver and copper.
Do you have any upcoming shows?
I'm doing a show at noons on September 22nd. I will be showcasing the #MOTHER line. It is focused on asymmetry, elements, and clean lines.
Where else can we find your work.
Currently you can find my idiot line in Tucson at Popcycle. I will be at noons starting October. I also sell custom on line at www.rbenjeejewelry.com

After the fire, you will not believe what happens!
Are the classic images of firefighters as healthy, fit, and strong still accurate? Although firefighters' bravery and commitment to public service has never been in doubt, a chilling epidemic has been slowly developing in the fire service which threatens their ability to effectively respond to the emergencies and disasters that will inevitably occur in our country.
