The following video features the famed English magician who goes by the stage name "Dynamo." Having suffered a life-threatening disease his entire life, it seems very bizarre he is able to perform some of the tricks that he does.
His tricks are hypnotic, mysterious, and sometimes downright spooky.
He chalks it up to his belief in "mind over matter."
During one trick, he takes an obviously empty bucket, and without allowing his audience to lose sight of it, simply tips it over and empties out so many fish, they wouldn't even fit into the bucket all at once if they were to be put back into it.
During another phenomenon of magic, Dynamo is able to bench press nearly 345lbs (or 155kg), after simply focusing intensely for a few moments. This almost three times MORE than Dynamo's own body weight.
In the final trick, he is able to TWICE pickpocket someone by grabbing the wallet, somehow grabbing the money and TELEPORTING THE WALLET back into his pocket without even reaching over to put it back in! Fortunately for us, this author slowed the video down to 1 FRAME PER SECOND, and it still cannot be explained.
Some people believe there is another type of "force" behind his magic, such as working with demons or "Jinns," another word in foreign countries for "genies." When asked if there are other forces at work, he claims "maybe there is."
One belief about those people who can perform these epic tricks is that they have sold their soul to the Jinns, and that is the only reason they have the ability to do such things.
What do you think?! Do you think that Dynamo is using paid actors/accomplices or utilizing special effects for these tricks? Or is this proof that true magic exists to those who learn to use these abilities?

Resident Evil Revelations is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this fall, Capcom announced. The publisher confirmed it will release both physical and digital editions of the game across North America and Europe.
Resident Evil Revelations was originally a Nintendo 3DS title, first released in January 2012. Capcom then created an HD version of the game when it was ported to PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 in 2013. Now, gamers can likely expect another visual upgrade as the horror title moves to its 6th and 7th platforms.
Resident Evil Revelations is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One physical and digital (NA and EU) Fall 2017! More information coming soon. pic.twitter.com/RnhFbk3xvE— Resident Evil (@RE_Games) March 13, 2017
Resident Evil Revelations takes place in between the events of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 with franchise veterans Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield taking the lead. The game's original 3DS version was warmly received by most critics due to its unique use of the 3DS controls and tech but the 2013 HD ports received more middling reviews.
In addition to the visual upgrade, the HD ports also added improved lighting, a new difficulty mode, and new playable characters so one would imagine that Capcom might have a couple more additions up its sleeve for the PS4 and Xbox One ports this fall. We're just speculating but support for 4K or HDR on the PlayStation 4 Pro or Project Scorpio would be a nice touch.
Strangely, this game will arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One after its sequel, Resident Evil Revelations 2, skipped the 3DS and came out on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 in 2015. However, the move makes sense considering Revelations 2 wasn't as well received as its predecessor.
If we had to speculate as to why Capcom is making this move now, it might have something to do with Resident Evil 7 reinvigorating the franchise earlier this year. Not long ago the franchise was struggling to stay in fans' good graces, but now Resident Evil is at a new high.

Vastavam web: Pope Francis thanked aid groups that rescue and care for migrants today and denounced the "sterile hypocrisy" of those who turn a blind eye to the world's poor seeking security and a dignified life.Francis celebrated a special Mass for migrants and those who care for them in St. Peter's Basilica, calling attention to their plight as Europe, the US and other countries increasingly close their doors, ports and borders to them.
The intimate service marked the fifth anniversary of Francis' landmark visit to Lampedusa, the Sicilian island that for years was the primary destination of migrants smuggled from Libya to Europe.In the years since, and especially in recent months, governments in Italy, the US, Hungary and elsewhere have adopted tough anti-migrant policies that fly in the face of Francis' oft-repeated call for governments to open their hearts and doors to those in need.
Italy and Malta, in particular, have closed their ports to aid groups that rescue migrants in the Mediterranean, while the Trump administration imposed a now-abandoned policy to separate children from their parents at the US-Mexico border.Francis didn't refer to any country by name in his homily, but he said the only "reasonable response" to the global migration phenomenon today is to show solidarity and mercy.Referring to the biblical story of the Good Samaritan, Francis denounced the "sterile hypocrisy of those who do not want to dirty their hands" by caring for the weakest and most marginal of society.
Such a temptation, he said, is "powerfully present" today as the world grapples with migration flows."It takes the form of closing our hearts to those who have the right, just as we do, to security and dignified living conditions. It builds walls, real or virtual, rather than bridges," he said.Speaking in his native Spanish, Francis thanked the representatives of aid groups in the pews for embodying the Good Samaritan "who stopped to save the life of the poor man beaten by bandits." "He didn't ask where he was from, his reasons for travelling or his documents. he simply decided to care for him and save his life," Francis said.

GANGNEUNG, South Korea — At a figure-skating competition in Moscow last October, Yuzuru Hanyu was told that he resembled to some a heroic character, delicate but fierce, from the Japanese tradition of anime.
He did not see himself that way, the slender, long-legged Hanyu said in an interview, his hair flopping over one eyebrow. But with a smile, he added, "I like to win with some drama."
He could have had no idea how much drama lay ahead.
Less than three weeks later, Hanyu sustained ligament damage to his right ankle while rehearsing a difficult four-revolution jump. Nearly four months elapsed before he could compete again, here at the Winter Olympics, but he showed little erosion of skill or victorious determination from the layoff.
Skating on Saturday, Hanyu, 23, did not perform flawlessly before what was essentially a home crowd, in an arena where fans waved dozens of Japanese flags. But he displayed sufficient stamina, jumping ability, elastic spins and ethereal grace to win a second consecutive gold medal, becoming the first men's repeat Olympic champion since Dick Button of the United States in 1948 and 1952.
The ankle is not completely healed, and Hanyu said he worried at times before the Games whether he would be able to skate again. But the injured joint held up enough to support another winning performance, with 317.85 points. Afterward, Hanyu said playfully, "I'd like to thank my ankle, you did a good job."
He prevailed with a strategy of restraint, avoiding the riskiest quadruple jumps in his four-and-a-half-minute routine and relying on the completeness of his ability. His countryman, Shoma Uno, 20, took the silver medal with 306.90 points. And Javier Fernandez, 26, a training partner of Hanyu's, won Spain's first Olympic skating medal, taking bronze with 305.24 points.
Even though Nathan Chen of the United States, who was among the early favorites, did not reach the medal podium, he did find some measure of redemptive satisfaction — and perhaps some sting of regret — with a performance of audacious ambition that brought him fifth place over all. Vincent Zhou of the United States finished sixth, and Adam Rippon, also of the United States, was 10th.
With nothing to lose after finishing a disastrous 17th in Friday's short program, Chen became the first Olympian to land five quadruple jumps cleanly in a routine and actually attempted six, but he put his hands to the ice on a quad flip. He still won the free skate.
He made the decision to attempt six quads on Friday night, after the short program. Relieved of expectation and feeling "just an anger," he told himself, "I'll just go for it."
"I definitely did want to redeem myself after the two short programs that I did here," Chen said in reference to his mistake-filled performances in the team and singles competition.
He added: "As much as I tried to deny it, I felt the pressure a lot before the short program, especially thinking about scores and placement and all that. And that was completely out of my control. That just tightened me up and made me really cautious on the ice. I just had to completely forget about expectations and allow myself to be myself."
By contrast, Hanyu was every bit himself in both the Olympic short and long program — unhurried, resolute, staking a claim to be the greatest skater ever with his speed, artistry, coverage of the ice and technical skill.
Reached by telephone in New York, Button said of Hanyu, "I think he's beautiful; he moves like a dream."
Wearing a white tunic on Saturday, Hanyu performed as a character out of Japanese folklore: Abe no Seimei, a spiritual adviser and astrologer from the 11th century with Merlin-like mystical powers. He received one perfect score of 10 for musical interpretation and two 10s for the design of his program.
Hanyu can appear so relaxed on the ice that Julian Yee, a Malaysian skater, said he "looks like he wakes up from bed and goes and jumps."
On Nov. 9, though, Hanyu's Olympic chances grew uncertain, when he landed awkwardly while rehearsing a quad lutz before a competition in Japan. It is the most difficult of the four-revolution jumps currently being performed. Hanyu was trying to perfect the lutz, in part, to match Chen's magnificent jumping ability.
But Hanyu's legs pretzeled upon landing the jump. He would not be able to train again on the ice for about two months. As he recovered, he rehearsed the jumps on the floor of his training center in Toronto and used visualization techniques to imagine himself completing the maneuvers in competition.
"My strength is, I'm able to really analyze myself and have that image and try to match that with the physical skating," Hanyu said Saturday.
He arrived at the Olympics, having been able to practice his triple axel for only about three weeks and his quad jumps for two weeks. He avoided the risky quad lutz at these Games, performing instead two quad salchows and two quad toeloops, which are considered easier and more reliable, in his long program.
In the end, the injury "could be the best thing that ever happened" for Hanyu, said Jackie Wong, a prominent blogger from New York who is a former skater and skating judge and who is covering the Olympics. "He wasn't going for unnecessary difficulty."
Hanyu disregarded any talk about being the greatest ever in his sport, saying, "I'm not the best skater." But others were not so reluctant.
"If you want him to be, you wouldn't be wrong," said Kurt Browning of Canada, a four-time world champion in the late 1980s and early 1990s. "Why not. He's everything. He's the skater, he's the jumper, but quintessentially, he's the performer. He seems to have the superpower to take all the pressure, all the expectations and all the lights and all the cameras, and somehow he's able to use it as a competitor."
Here's how the free skate played out:
Germany's Paul Fentz Does Game of Thrones Cosplay
Paul Fentz of Germany had a heavily themed Game of Thrones routine. He skated to the dramatic music from the television show's soundtrack, and was dressed in a shirt designed to look like armor. He wore one gold glove, perhaps reminding some viewers of Jaime Lannister, who has a metal hand. But the judges did not seem to agree that Winter is coming, and put him in third place of the three skaters who have gone.
Japan's Keiji Tanaka Leads Early; Nathan Chen Up Next
With the six lesser lights of the 24 competitors having skated, Keiji Tanaka of Japan is the early leader, helped by a quad Salchow at the top of his program. The second group of six will include Nathan Chen of the United States, who disappointed badly in his short program, but has a daring five-quad program to try to make up ground.
Two Quads Gives Bychenko the Lead
Alexei Bychenko of Israel, the first skater of the second group, gave a strong performance that moved him into the lead. Bychenko, skating to music from the opera Pagliacci, hit both his quads and fell to his knees with joy at the end of the performance.
Nathan Chen Gets Aggressive, Goes for Six Quads
Nathan Chen, who bombed his short program and stood in only 17th place, hoped to make up ground with a daring five quad performance. But he did not land five quads. He threw in one more and landed six.
Chen, 18, performed a quad Lutz, flip combination, flip, toe loop combination, toe loop and Salchow. The quad toe loop-triple toe loop combo scored a huge 17.63 points by itself. Chen also did well on the more subjective judging elements, getting over 9 for performance. He takes a big lead over the other early skaters, by a full 40 points.
It was a redemptive and audaciously ambitious performance. Chen became the first Olympian to land five quadruple jumps cleanly in a routine and actually attempted six, but put his hands to the ice on the quad flip. His score of 297.35 could put him in medal contention if the leaders struggle later.
Brendan Kerry Invokes Pink Floyd
Brendan Kerry of Australia has had some of the more intriguing musical choices of the event. In the short program he skated to an eerie cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." For the free skate he chose a Pink Floyd medley, including "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and "Money." But his performance wasn't quite up to snuff and he bailed out of his quads. That concluded the second group of six skaters. Twelve to go. Chen still leads by 40 points.
Keegan Messing Puts on a Show
The Olympics are at their heart, a sports competition, but no one has had more fun here than Keegan Messing of Canada, who entertained the crowd with a Charlie Chaplin routine on Saturday after skating to Singin' in the Rain on Friday.
He is unapologetic about being a showman as much as a competitor. "I just feel like I can bring the crowd in; it makes my skating so much more fun for me," he said. Messing also hit two quads and moved into third place.
Nathan Chen Made a "Game-Time Decision" to Try 6 Quads
Leader Nathan Chen spoke after his amazing program:
"Having such a rough short program allowed me to just forget about expectations and just allow myself to really enjoy myself," Chen said. "I think six quads was almost a game-time decision, I knew at that point that I had literally nothing to lose.
"As much as I tried to deny it, I felt the pressure a lot before the short program, especially thinking about scores and placement and all that. And that was completely out of my control. That just tightened me up and made me really cautious on the ice."
Vincent Zhou Nearly Matches Nathan Chen
Vincent Zhou, 17, exceeded expectations in his short program, placing 12th. And he rolled out an ambitious five-quad free skate. And like his countryman Nathan Chen, he delivered.
In skating's complicated scoring system, Zhou was credited with four quadruple jumps, three of them landed cleanly. He put his hand to the ice on a quad flip. And his attempt to become the first Olympic skater to land two quad Lutzes — the most difficult of the four-revolution jumps being performed — came up short. His second Lutz was judged to have been under-rotated. Still, his score for the long program was a lifetime best of 192.16 points.
His technical score was only 7 off Chen's and he moved into second place overall, 21 points down. Zhou is definitely one to watch for 2022.
Adam Rippon Skates a Clean Program, but No Quads
Adam Rippon, the man with the killer abs, was the final American to skate. A program without quads would make it difficult to finish high, but he wheeled out all his showmanship, including birdlike motions while skating to Coldplay's "Arrival of the Birds." And he landed all those triples.
Rippon skated with his accustomed elegance, but the jumping prowess of Nathan Chen and Vincent Zhou illustrated the gulf between his artistry and the bold athleticism needed to score highly under today's scoring system.
With six more to skate, the American men can finish no lower than 7th, 8th and 10th. This is the fourth time in the last five Olympics that all three men have made the top 10. The last time was 2010, when Evan Lysacek won the gold medal, Johnny Weir finished sixth and Jeremy Abbott took ninth.
Dmitri Aliev Struggles
Dmitri Aliev, the 18-year-old Russian, was the first of the final six to skate and probably the least likely winner, with only two quads in his program. He wound up falling as well and can only place third, though that's not likely.
Jin Boyang Passes Nathan Chen for First Place
Jin Boyang of China was fourth after the short program and planned a four-quad program set to "The Planets" and the Cantina Theme and other music from "Star Wars." Jin delivered an almost clean routine, marred by one fall. His free skate score was lower than Nathan Chen's, but Jin had a 21-point lead over Chen after the short program. It adds up to a new leader by less than a point. Chen is back in second.
Patrick Chan Can't Make Up Ground
Patrick Chan of Canada was sixth after the short program. His routine, set to Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah," had two quads, both right at the top. He landed the first and stepped out of the second one slightly. He also put a hand down on a later jump and had an unprovoked stumble. An always dignified skater, the 27-year-old Chan stood only in sixth. Next up, the leader and gold medal favorite, Yuzuru Hanyu.
Yuzuru Hanyu Leads After Strong Routine
Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan, the world's most famous Winnie the Pooh enthusiast, had the gold medal for the taking, with the lead and a four-quad performance planned. He nailed the first three, but stumbled on the fourth, a planned quad-single-triple combination. It might have been enough for the gold, but Hanyu threw in one more unplanned quad for good measure. One more small stumble came on a triple, but Hanyu laid down a strong performance that will make him hard to catch. Winnie the Pooh dolls rained down from the audience in the aftermath.
Hanyu took over first place. His free skate score was 6 points lower than Chen's but combined with the short program he claimed a 20-point lead.
Javier Fernandez in 2nd Place After Strong Routine
Javier Fernandez of Spain was fourth four years ago, but he put himself in position to get a medal this time. After a strong second in the short program, he delivered in his free skate to Man of La Mancha, completing two of his three planned quads. The last skater will be Shoma Uno of Japan, with the current medal positions Hanyu-Fernandez-Jin. The American Nathan Chen has slipped to fourth place.
Shoma Uno Passes Fernandez for Silver
It all came down to Shoma Uno, who could get a medal and maybe even the gold if he nailed his four-quad program set to Turandot. But he fell on Quad No. 1 and stepped out of a combo. It was good enough for second place, and Yuzuru Hanyu repeated as the men's Olympic champion. Bronze to Javier Fernandez.

The Tampa Bay Lightning's quick-strike attack knocked off another opponent.
The Lightning scored three times in the opening 10 minutes and rolled to a 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.
Brayden Point had two goals and an assist for Tampa Bay, while Nikita Kucherov had a pair of assists. Alex Killorn, Cedric Paquette and Tyler Johnson also scored for the Lightning, who have won three straight games and five of six.
Louis Domingue made 33 saves.
Stefan Noesen and Jesper Bratt scored for the Devils. New Jersey fell to 2-9 on the road.
New Jersey goaltender Cory Schneider, who finished with 30 saves, remains winless (0-15-2) in his last 18 regular-season appearances. His last victory came Dec. 27, 2017.
"You win together as a team and lose together as a team," New Jersey head coach John Hynes said. "We have to try to help him get to the level he needs to in order to win a game. He's put in the time. There's only one thing to do and that's analyze what it is and continue to go back to work on the concepts that need to be better."
The Lightning overwhelmed New Jersey to start the game, scoring three times in the span of 5 minutes, 54 seconds to build a 3-0 lead at the 9:15 mark of the first period.
Killorn banked in a shot off the stick of Schneider for his first goal in 18 games at 3:19. Point scored on the power play at 7:21, while Johnson scored on a one-timer to finish off a cross-ice pass from Point at 9:15. It's the second consecutive game Tampa Bay has jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes.
"Attacking the net, shooting the puck, guys putting themselves in great positions to score," Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said of the fast starts. "You are putting teams on their heels. You are making the other team chase the game right away."
Noesen cut the deficit to 3-1 at 9:39, but Paquette regained the three-goal advantage at 11:25.
"It's tough when your goalie gives away the game in the first period," Schneider said. "It's not fair to my teammates. This team is hard enough to play in their building to spot them a 4-1. It's just disappointing for me. The first period is all stuff I've been working on. I've been working on the exact things that they scored some of their goals on. I have to figure that out and give my team a chance."
Point was credited with his second goal of the night and 17th of the season when New Jersey defenseman Sami Vatanen shot the puck into his own net at 8:30 of the second period.
"That's an unfortunate bounce for him, he takes the puck and just tries to wrap it around the net and it hooks on his stick and goes in," Point said. "You take them when you can get them and it's just working for me right now."
Brayden Point had two goals and an assist to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.
Tyler Johnson, Cedric Paquette and Alex Killorn also scored for the Lightning, who have won three straight games and five of six. Tampa Bay has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 17-6-1. Louis Domingue made 33 saves.
Stefan Noesen and Jesper Bratt scored for the Devils. New Jersey goaltender Cory Schneider finished with 30 saves and remains winless (0-15-2) since Dec. 27, 2017, a span of 18 regular-season games. The Devils fell to 2-9 in road games.
Tampa Bay has outscored the Devils 13-5 in two meetings this season.
The Lightning overwhelmed the Devils to start the game, scoring three times in the opening 10 minutes as Killorn, Point and Johnson scored in the span of 5 minutes, 54 seconds.
New Jersey cut the deficit to 3-1 on Noesen's rebound goal at 9:39, but Paquette regained the three-goal advantage, scoring on a rebound at 11:25 for his fourth goal of the season.
Point was credited with his second of the game and 17th of the season at 8:30 of the second period when Devils' defenseman Sami Vatanen put a clearing attempt into his own net.

Reda Hassaine, an Algerian informer working for the Metropolitan Police's Special Branch against Islamist extremists in London, is passed to MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence service. One of his tasks is to identify men who attend Finsbury Park mosque, a hotbed of radicalism, in photographs MI5 gives him. For the first six-month trial period, Hassaine is given £300 (equivalent of $450) per month plus £80 for expenses, but MI5 tells him to claim unemployment and housing benefit as well, "because, after all, we were dealing with the security of the country," and "it would be a good cover story because everyone in Finsbury Park was foreign and on benefits." In return for his work, Hassaine is promised he will obtain indefinite leave to remain in Britain, but in February 2000 he will only receive leave to remain for four years, which he will be unhappy about.

The British intelligence service MI5 attempts to recruit an unnamed senior figure in the Groupe Islamique Armé (GIA), an Algerian terrorist organization many of whose operatives are based in London. An Algerian informer called Reda Hassaine helps with the attempted recruitment, and is instructed to befriend the GIA leader, and to find him an apartment in London so he no longer has to sleep in Finsbury Park mosque, a hotbed of extremism. It is unclear whether the recruitment is successful, but Hassaine obtains new information and passes it on to MI5. In August 1999, he finds that three operatives of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), another Algerian terrorist organization allied with al-Qaeda, have arrived in London and informs the British authorities of this. [O'Neill and McGrory, 2006, pp. 147]

Reda Hassaine, an informer for the British security service MI5, learns that a top London-based operative known as Abu Walid is to travel to Afghanistan. He also hears rumors that Abu Walid is to meet Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders and will not return to London after the meeting. The mission is so important that Abu Qatada, a leading imam who reportedly sits on al-Qaeda's fatwa committee (see June 1996-1997) and also informs for MI5 (see June 1996-February 1997), is to hold a special prayer session to bless Abu Walid before he leaves. Hassaine attends the prayer session, but the militants realize he is an informant and attempt to murder him (see April 21, 2000). [O'Neill and McGrory, 2006, pp. 148] French intelligence had previously considered assassinating Abu Walid in London, but he will be reported to be in Afghanistan after the US invasion and will die in Chechnya in 2004 (see 1997-1998).

We're nowhere near Frazey Ford territory, but here's a misheard song lyrics story.
I'm in the kitchen doing something or other the other morning and this song comes on the radio.
"This sounds alright," I think to myself. "Pretty groovy." You know, because I live in the 60s or whatever decade it was when groovy was still a thing people said with sincerity. In any case, I'm enjoying myself. Then I notice the chorus.
"Um…wait…that can't be right…no. It's not right. But it has to be right. It doesn't sound like anything else. But it totally doesn't fit with the rest of the song. Music is weird. But no…it can't be that."
That was basically me between fits of laughter for the rest of the song.
Thankfully Tom Power came on at the end and clued me in to the fact that what I had been listening to is called Don't Wanna Fight. But even though I've heard it several times since then, you're still not convincing me that she isn't singing "I don't look fat no more."
And before anyone gets any ideas, I am aware that they are not singing about me. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Fuckers.

As wood, agriculture residues, coal, cattle dung cake are the primary energy sources for cooking in rural areas. Traditional chullhas, commonly used in rural areas, however are efficient but environmentally undesirable. In this contrast improved multi fuel cooking stove / chullhas are scientifically designed for potential regulation of heat flow & better fuel utilization, improved chullhas have heat transfer efficiency of 20-25% as compared to 8-10% in case of traditional chullhas.

Flash CS3 Common Keyboard Shortcuts
Many Flash CS3 menu commands offer keyboard shortcuts. The shortcuts are displayed on the menus, next to the command name. Here are some of the most commonly used keyboard shortcuts:
Ctrl+N (Windows) or Command+N (Mac): Open the New Document dialog box so you can start a new movie.
Ctrl+O (Windows) or Command+O (Mac): Open an existing movie.
Ctrl+S (Windows) or Command+S (Mac): Save your movie. Use this shortcut often!
Ctrl+X (Windows) or Command+X (Mac): Cut to the Clipboard.
Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac): Copy to the Clipboard.
Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac): Paste from the Clipboard.
Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac): Undo. Would you believe that by default Flash remembers your last 100 actions and can undo them? What a relief! And if you choose Window→Other Panels→History, the History panel lists each action so you know what the next Undo will undo. Think of it as a journey into the long-forgotten past.
Ctrl+Y (Windows) or Command+Y (Mac): Redo. This redoes actions that you undid by using the Undo button. (Got that?) This button remembers just as many actions as the Undo button. If you undo more actions than you want, click Redo (or press Ctrl+Y or Command+Y) until you're back where you want to be. Using the Undo and Redo buttons is like traveling through Flash time — and it gives you lots of slack while you're working.
Ctrl+Q (Windows) or Command+Q (Mac): Exit Flash.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Meredith College softball traveled to Newport News Sunday for a second pairing versus the now top-ranked Christopher Newport Captains in non-conference action. CNU finished game one early 11-2 and won 6-2 in the second.
Game 1
The Captains held Meredith to just thirteen batters in four innings until back-to-back home runs put two runs on the board for the Avenging Angels. In the fifth Alyssa Drake and Anna Goldman recorded a pair of one-out solo-homers for Meredith. But Christopher Newport ended the frame with a nine-run advantage to finish the game in five.
Sarah Gundlach and Gianna Buccelato shared time in the circle for Meredith with Gundlach earning the loss. She pitched 1.2 innings allowing five hits, three runs with one walk and one strikeout. Emily Weatherholtz claimed her seventh win pitching a complete game versus the Angels.
Game 2
CNU created an early gap with six runs in the first three innings, but a Meredith home run from Bryce Smith broke the cycle to land the Angels on the scoreboard. In the fourth Chloe Johnson and Cecilia Coleman advanced on a pair of hits, and Charley Cox earned an infield RBI-single. Goldman and Coleman advanced to first in the next two innings, but the Captains defense closed down the Angels for the win.
Payton Aldridge and Susanne Taylor shared the pitching assignment for the Avenging Angels with Aldridge owning the loss. Trish Webb closed out the game for Christopher Newport to earn the win.
Meredith is slated to face off with neighboring Shaw University Tuesday afternoon at Worthdale Park in Raleigh, N.C. Senior day is scheduled for Saturday versus William Peace with the USA South Tournament on the horizon.

pCon.planner offers a wide spectrum of functions that allow users to create fantastic plans with various demands – simple, quick and professional planning. Nevertheless, you seem to run into a few annoying discrepancies during the planning process: it doesn't matter what you try, you just can't seem to insert the floor and the walls don't seem to stay in place. Or maybe you don't realize until the rendering starts that the shelf is slightly hovering over the ground or something with the room just isn't right. To help you avoid such scenarios, we've put together a few tips and tricks that will help you move seamlessly through the planning process.
Stay Grounded: Ever wonder why your floors and walls are constantly moving unintentionally? pCon.planner is a click-sensitive software. With just a simple click, for example, objects can be selected and deselected. Click uncontrollably within the view and move the mouse, and it could easily be that you've moved an object without realizing it. So, be sure to pay attention when clicking. Unsure whether an object is selected or not, simply press Esc on your keyboard, and any selecting will be removed. Elements that definitely shouldn't be moved, like walls or floors, can be locked. That way, you don't have to worry about them moving by accident.
Laying floor: A floor can only be inserted when the walls around it are closed. Select all of the walls and click on "Connect" in the Room Elements section under the Start tab. Now try laying the floor once again.
Change the perspective more often: The room planner offers various 2D and 3D projections and render styles. When planning, it is most certainly advisable to use all of the views available to you. In "Top" view, you can plan ideally in a 2D-projected floor plan, set walls or insert and organize objects within a room. But are the tables and chairs really on the floor? A 2D "Front" view, for example, is the perfect view to double check. To get a better feel for the room or to check the proportions, it's helpful to use a 3D projection. And don't forget, there are also various render styles you can use: Floor plans are best seen in wireframe mode, while other modes are better for the over-all impression of a furnished room.
Always on point: If you always seem to be moving tables and chairs that you've inserted in the plan to the proper height, or you always have to realign objects, the User Coordinate System can help. Move the reference point to the desired position and objects can be aligned according to it.
Looking to learn more about using pCon.planner? Have a look in the Help Center or book a training course.

It's a $99 game console, and each one of the 200-plus games available on it comes with a free demo. And yet, the Ouya isn't moving much product.
The apple-sized device itself is supposedly moving fine, though that information comes directly from Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman, and Uhrman is also bullish on software sales. "Monetization on Ouya is, so far, better than we expected," she told Game Informer. But when the top developers on the platform released their sales numbers, they were far from encouraging. Arguably the top exclusive on the system, Matt Thorson's TowerFall, has only racked up 2000 sales at a $15 price point, according to Thorson.
That's a runaway success compared to others. Nimble Quest, from Tiny Tower developer NimbleBit, only made $427 off its Ouya port. Over 6500 people downloaded its free demo. Only 122 people clicked the "buy" button.
What's going wrong?
A lot of the problem might lie with the Ouya itself. True, it's a completely new product with very little awareness outside of gaming circles, but even inside those circles, it's got an image problem.
Because while Ouya's built an impressive community of developers providing content, it hasn't established a community of players. And a few things are getting in the way of that.
For starters, Ouya is built around under the same constraints that cratered Xbox One's reputation for so long: You must be online to use it. Ouya doesn't require daily check-ins or have a crippling, labyrinthian DRM policy, but if you can't get your Ouya hooked up to the Internet, you can't use Ouya, period. Most games can be played offline, but you have to be online to sign up and download them. That immediately cuts out a segment of the population
Even worse, despite that online requirement and a sizable number of Ouya games that have local multiplayer options, shockingly few offer online multiplayer.
It must also be said that Ouya's customer service leaves something to be desired. You must enter a credit card at the set-up, but no clear way exists to delete your account. Once they have your card, it's just not very easy to take it away from them.
And while it was never supposed to, Ouya simply can't compete on the same scale as other gaming platforms. It doesn't have a mix of huge triple-A titles and smaller indie darlings — it's all indie darlings. Make no mistake, Ouya plays host to some very good titles, but none stand out on Ouya's simplistic menu tiles, and most are available on other platforms. Ouya can't depend on one or two killer apps to move product off shelves…it needs a dozen or so must-play exclusives at Apple-game prices. Then Ouya needs to get the word out on those games, both in and out of its interface.
Ouya came out of the gate with strong community support — you don't raise $8.5 million on Kickstarter without that. Plenty of people in the indie game community still sing Ouya's praises, and perhaps they should…it's a platform specifically geared towards small, agile game development. But with both PlayStation 4 and now Xbox One actively courting the indie scene and supporting self-publishing, Ouya needs to capitalize on the same entrepreneurial spirit that put them on the map in the first place.
And they need to sweep a community players up in that spirit again. The honeymoon ended pretty fast. Now Ouya needs to settle into a long, comfortable relationship, and that sort of thing takes a lot of work.

A DEADLY haul of 5,000 combat blades, serrated hunting knives, machetes and samurai swords have been taken off the streets of the West Midlands.
The chilling array of weapons has been handed in over the last three months as part of a joint campaign by the Birmingham Mail and West Midlands Police.
Senior officers said people had already helped make a difference to their communities by handing over knives.
The joint One Knife, One Life campaign was launched following a number of high-profile killings in Birmingham last year.
Following the amnesty, a schools project to warn children of the dangers of carrying knives is to swing into action.
Supt Gordon Scobbie said: "We thank everyone who has heeded our message and taken positive action by handing in a knife; your actions may well have saved a life."
Despite the amnesty, police in England and Wales have recorded almost 100 serious or fatal knife attacks, including three killings in Birmingham.

Starring: Jim Sturgess, Kirsten Dunst
Directed by: Juan Solanas
Written By: Juan Solanas
Rating: PG-13 (US) Running Time: 1 hr 47 min
Two Cents:
After watching this film I had a feeling the writer/director had completed work as a cinematographer. I was right. IMDB has 5 credits for Juan Solanas in that role, so it fits that this movies energy seemed entirely focused on the visuals. Even though Juan Solanas doesn't take that credit for Upside Down, it clearly had an effect on how he processed the story.
There is a story of forbidden love here, and another subplot about the inequalities between the two worlds represented. But those are simply not developed to any credible degree. Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess are not given the right material to lift this film beyond the dazzling visual exercise it is. If they had this would have been something very special. As it is though, the gorgeous artwork alone wasn't enough to pull me in and past how clearly impossible this set up is in any real physical universe.
Movie Prep:
This is an amazing feast for the eyes only. Keep any expectations for a story and character really low and you might find this a distracting way to spend two hours.
Best viewing format:
The biggest clearest digital screen you can find. The visuals are the main event with this film. It's one of the best looking bad films I've ever seen.
Best element for me:
The cinematography of course. I think one cool way to enjoy this film would be to mute the sound and then find the most soothing ambient or classical music to play over it.
References: IMDB – Rotten Tomatoes
Jon's Two Pence:
I agree. It's visually superb and dazzling, but boy is it dumb. Wow is it flawed! I can't even begin to pick at it – I've already wasted enough time on it! Proof it takes more than special effects – how did they get the money to make this? Did anyone read the script and see how ridiculous it was? A quirky pop video would have been better! I would have been free from frowning and saying "what!?" for 100 minutes less.

In collaboration with St Helen's Farm.
If you were to capture autumn in a glass, I'm sure this super filling Apple & Cinnamon Pie Smoothie would feature. Full of warm cinnamon spice, nutmeg and mixed spice it's a fantastic start to any autumnal day.
Dessert to start the day is the breakfast of dreams for me. A traditional apple pie after a Sunday roast dinner was always my favourite part of the weekend, followed by a long nap afterwards. In fact, I think apple inspired desserts like a pie or crumble are my favourite treat in the autumn. They remind me of cosy, comforting and happy memories. Of course, they always have to be topped with a creamy vanilla custard.
In this smoothie recipe, I've tried to recreate an apple pie which for me is synonymous with autumn. Plus, apples are in season at the moment and taste their absolute best. I used ingredients that I would naturally have in the kitchen at this time of year: cinnamon, maple syrup, porridge oats are all autumn staples in my house.
Not only does the addition of the porridge oats make this smoothie filling, but the protein provided from the goat's yogurt by St Helen's Farm makes it very satisfying for breakfast. I'm not a big user of protein powder anymore, so always fill my smoothies with alternative protein sources like dairy, nuts, nut butter and seeds. Goat's yogurt works really in this instance and helps to give the smoothie a nutritional boost.
If you didn't catch my Pear & Ginger Breakfast Parfait using goat's yogurt, check it out here.
If you were to capture autumn in a glass, I'm sure this super filling Apple & Cinnamon Pie Smoothie would feature. Full of warm cinnamon spice, nutmeg and mixed spice it's a fantastic start to any autumnal day.
- 300 ml St Helen's Farm goats milk
- 2 tbsp St Helen's Farm natural goats yogurt
- 2 apples (cored)
- 2 tbsp porridge oats
- 1 banana
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
You can catch more details about St Helen's Farm and their Naturally Good campaign here.
If you do make any of my Apple & Cinnamon Pie Smoothie I'd love it if you could share the love on social media tagging @celery_cupcakes or using the hashtag #celeryandcupcakes.

The sport Kin-Ball was created by the physical education teacher Mario Demers in 1986 in Quebec, Canada. It is played with a big ball and among three teams at the same time, which makes it very unique. The main objective is to score points by forcing another team to make a fault.
The Game
The ball has a diameter of 1.22 meters (48 inches) and weighs about 1 kilogram (2 pounds). It is made out of fabric and features a rubber bladder.
A Kin-Ball court is 20×20 meters (66×66 feet) large court, with the lines being part of it.
The team that is in possession of the ball is also called the attacking team. This team has to execute an attack against another team, that is called the defending team. Since there are three teams playing, it is not automatically clear which of the two other teams has to defend the attack. To determine which team will be the defending team, the attacking team has to make a designation. It consists of the word "Omnikin" and a color. Each team is wearing colored bibs that are normally either blue, gray or black.
At the time of the hit, all members of the attacking team must touch the ball somehow. The hitter, can only hit the ball with a part of the body above the hips, which is usually the arms.
After a team has successfully defended a ball by being in control of it, the play continues and they automatically become the attacking team.
Whenever a team commits a fault, both other teams get a point each. This ensures, that one team is constantly left out, because one of the rules of the games is, that the attacking team always has to call the team with the most points. As long as one team makes a lot of mistakes in a row, every team is participating in the game.
Some of the faults a team can commit are:
- The ball touched the ground
- The ball hit an object out of bounds or was touched by a player standing out of bounds
- A player doesn't touch the ball at the time of the hit
- The attacking team made a mistake during the designation (wrong color, multiple people talking, calling an ineligible team)
- Hitting the ball with only a downward trajectory
- Hitting the ball too short; it must clear at least 1.8 meters (60 inches)
- Walking with the ball after the third player of the team touched it
- Interfering with an attacking or defending player

The Ultimate Guide to Accommodations
The 10 Best Resources For Vacations

By making a reservation you are entering into a rental contract with Orlando Home Away from Home LLC (Orlando Home Away), and therefore agree to and are bound by Orlando Home Away's Terms and Conditions:
1. Reservation Acceptance and Payment
If the reservation is made more than 30 days before scheduled arrival a 20% deposit is required.
The final payment is due 30 days before the arrival date. The final payment will be billed to the credit card on file unless other payment arrangements have been made. Payment of the rental deposit sum to Orlando Home Away will signify the full acceptance of these terms and conditions of rental.
The guest making the reservation must be 21 years of age or older, the holder of a major credit card and must occupy the rental property the entire term of the reservation.
2. Check-in/Check-out Times
Check-in time is after 4:00 pm and checkout is before 10:00 am.
Early check-ins or late checkouts can be requested for an additional charge. All early check-ins or late check-outs are subject to no other reservations in the property at the time of arrival/departure. As such, these will be tentatively booked and confirmed only within the last 72 hours prior to arrival. It is the guest's responsibility to contact Orlando Home Away within 72 hours of arrival to confirm availability. In the event a guest fails to depart from the property by 10:00 am with no late checkout arranged and results in Orlando Home Away being unable to clean and prepare the rental property for the next arriving guest that day, the departing guest agrees to pay damages and costs incurred by Orlando Home Away; including but not limited to moving the incoming guest to another rental property.
3. Check-in Instructions
The property will have an Electronic Lock. The door code will be sent upon receipt of final payment and return of the signed rental agreement.
4. Arrival Inspection and Pre-Existing Damage Report
The guest must notify Orlando Home Away within twelve (12) hours of arrival if there is already any damage or notable conditions.
The guest is responsible for the cost of any damages sustained to the property, décor, or its contents during the stay; this includes the moving of items to another property, breakages, and any excessive cleaning charges. Smoking and pets are not permitted in the property, and any failure to adhere to this will result in a minimum $500.00 penalty charge.
5. Security Deposits
A security deposit may be held for selected properties for loss or damage caused to the property and its contents. A security deposit may be required if the number of guests in the property reaches a specific threshold relative to the size of the property. The security deposit may be required after the initial reservation is made based on the number of guests in the home. The security deposit will be fully refundable (within 2 weeks of vacating the property) after a satisfactory status report. Where there is no damage or breakage the security deposit will be fully refunded to your card. The security deposit is paid by credit card with the final balance. Failure to pay a requested security deposit will lead to a cancellation of the reservation.
6. Additional Damages
Should the guest experience any new issue with the rental property during the stay, the guest must contact Orlando Home Away who will make efforts to rectify the matter. The guest should not attempt to contact the homeowner or the staff of the resort.
Should a previously reported problem remain unresolved, the guest is asked to notify Orlando Home Away in writing within 7 days of vacating the rental property. No action can be taken or liability accepted for any complaints received after this period.
The air conditioning in any rental property should not be set below 72 Degrees Fahrenheit by the guests. Setting the thermostat to a lower temperature will not cool the property quicker. Due to the high temperatures in Florida, it can be difficult for the system to cool the internal temperature below this point. Setting the temperature below 72 Degrees Fahrenheit may result in the system freezing up. If this occurs the air conditioning will have to be turned off to allow the unit to defrost. The guest will have no air conditioning during this time and will be responsible for the technician's call-out charges. If the windows have condensation that is a definite sign the air conditioning temperature is set too low and there is a risk of freezing the air conditioning unit. Please keep all windows and doors closed.
For the spa to be heated the pool heat must be on. A spillover spa or hot tub is not able to be heated on its own. The spillover spas are attached to the pool, using the same water. There is no option to only heat the spa since it is the same water as the pool. When pool heating is chosen in this set-up, the pool and spa will be heated to a temperature around 82-87 degrees Fahrenheit. When in the spa mode, the system will automatically adjust the valves so that the water from the spa is returned to the spa. This bypasses the pool, and the spa will be heated up to between 94 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If left in Spa mode the pool will not be getting any heated water and so the pool will cool down.
Pool/spa heaters operate on a timer and are set to come on in the morning and go off in the evening. There will be some cooling off overnight when the air temperature drops. In the coldest winter months heating the pool can be difficult, with the water temperature dropping down overnight. Florida has a temperate climate but cold fronts can bring overnight low temperatures in the 30's and 40's that can last for several days. Unfortunately, under these circumstances, there is no way the pool/spa heater will be able to keep the water at a temperature in the mid- to high-80s, especially where pool/spa heat is provided via an electric heat pump if the outside air temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Electric heating pumps do not operate effectively below this temperature, and failure of such devices to heat the pool/spa to the desired temperature is outside of the company's control and is regarded as an act of nature.
7. Departure Cleaning
In all Orlando Home Away's rental properties, there is a one-time departure cleaning fee. The cost of a Departure Cleaning varies by property.
During the stay and at departure all trash/garbage must be properly bagged and recycling, where available, properly broken down and placed in the proper receptacles by the guest. The type of receptacles, collection days, and further procedures will be provided before or during arrival and vary in each community.

11. Service Animals
Certified service animals are always welcome. It is not required, but it is helpful if Orlando Home Away is notified of service animals in advance of check-in.
12. General Safety
Orlando Home Away cannot accept any responsibility for the guests' personal safety during their vacation. Guests are reminded to exercise care as to the personal safety of themselves and their companions. Use of the pool and any community pool, tennis court, and recreation area is entirely at the guests' own risk. It is particularly important that children are supervised at all times in and around the pool areas.
Pools are used at the guests' own risk.
Guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied at the pools.
For the safety of children, doors that have direct access to the pool may be alarmed. Tampering or disconnection of these devices is a criminal offense.

Please do not tamper with the pool alarms. A minimum charge of $75.00 per alarm will apply for its repair/replacement if tampered with. Alternatively, the property may have a removable pool safety fence located around the pool area. If this pool safety fence is removed during the stay at the home, the guest will assume full responsibility for any and all use of the pool and spa.
The safety fence (if installed) must be used at all times.
Games, toys, baby furniture/equipment are used at the guest's own risk. Young children must be supervised at all times.
It is the guest's responsibility to supervise children at all times.

If the owner has provided a complimentary barbecue grill free of charge, or a barbecue grill has been hired via any party, be aware that it is being used at the guest's own risk. Guests will be held responsible for any damage caused by use or misuse of the grill. Only use the grill in open, outdoor areas. The grill must not be used in any enclosed areas. Orlando Home Away and/or the Owner do not accept liability for equipment failure. It is the guest's responsibility to clean and maintain the grill and replenish propane as required.

If the guest ever feels they may be in a life-threatening situation for any reason, the guest is urged to call 9-1-1 immediately before calling Orlando Home Away.
13. Allergens
Because it is nearly impossible for persons who have an allergy to peanut dust to avoid triggering a reaction if peanut dust is in the air, Orlando Home Away is unable to guarantee a peanut-free or allergen-free property. Orlando Home Away cannot prevent previous guests from bringing peanuts or products containing peanuts into Orlando Home Away's properties. In addition, Orlando Home Away cannot give assurances that remnants of peanuts and/or peanut dust/oil will not remain anywhere in the property.
Orlando Home Away cannot guarantee that a property will be free of other allergens such as perfumes, lotions, cleaning solutions, etc.
Guests may not bring into the property pesticides, bleach, sanitizers or air fragrances.
14. Wildlife and Insects
Florida wildlife may pose a danger. Approach all outdoor areas with caution.
Never feed or approach wildlife. All pictures must be taken from a safe distance. Common Central Florida wildlife includes, but is not limited to, alligators, snakes, raccoons, foxes, and sandhill cranes. It is very dangerous to allow these animals, and many others, to become accustomed to receiving food from humans, as it may result in future attacks.
Feeding of Alligators in Florida is illegal. Statute 372.667 makes it a misdemeanor to feed Alligators.
It is illegal to feed Racoons, Foxes, and Sandhill Cranes – Florida Statute 68A-4.001 lists feeding these animals a misdemeanor.
Orlando Home Away's preventative efforts cannot guarantee there will not be an encounter with wildlife, bugs, insects, or pests of all types. Guests agree Orlando Home Away cannot be held accountable for encountering any of the above, whether outside or inside, their rental home.
Every property is inspected to check there are no pests present. If pests are ever suspected, the guest must immediately contact Orlando Home Away, who will contact a third-party pest control company for further inspection and treatment if deemed necessary.
15. Personal Items Left Behind
In the event a guest may have left a personal item behind in the rental property, Orlando Home Away will do its best to locate it; however, the owner and the management company are not responsible for any losses. If the item is found, the guest will be advised and given the contact details of a local company that specializes in collecting and mailing package deliveries.

Each Property also includes a full-size washer and dryer, iron, and ironing board. In addition to this, properties come with linens and towels.
While Orlando Home Away try to provide each guest with everything they will need, there are some items that are not provided in the rental properties.
