Since I published my review of the Venus Factor a few months back I've received a lot of questions from my readers – through comments and email. I love getting feedback, and I thank you all for good and relevant questions.
As a lot of the questions are the same, and instead of cluttering up the review post with a lot of changes, I figured I'd gather the most common questions here and answer them in plenum.
If you have any more question, don't hesitate to shoot me an email or post a comment here.
Is the Venus Factor worth it?
My short answer is yes, but let's first define what 'worth it' means to me:
If we are talking "worth it" as in time invested, the results you can get in just 12 weeks are pretty damn awesome (you can see more real life stories here).
I've personally seen people completely transform their bodies within this short time frame. More impressive though: they've maintained their weight loss for months and years after they ended the 12 weeks.
Regarding the price, it's at 47$ for now (including bonuses)! I'm not going to give you a long sales pitch here, but this is the same you would pay for a month at a gym, or half an hour with a personal trainer (some charge a lot more). I'm just saying this to those of you who think 47$ is expensive– just to put things perspective.
47 dollars will get you: A bottle of nice wine, a video game, or h aving your car washed, having a meal out … Or change your life by finally losing that weight. To me it's simple: I'd wash my own car, cook at a meal at home and invest in The Venus Factor.
Does The Venus Factor Work?
Well, I've personally tried it and achieved great results. I lost some weight before I started the program, but I still had some stubborn fat that never went away. After the 12 weeks, all my unwanted fat was gone. I have even recommended it to friends and family (as a PT you often become the friend circles go-to-person for anything diet an fitness), and they're all happy with the results and the program in general.
I do know a few people that have quit the program, and since they've only been on the program for a few days or less than two weeks, it's hard to gauge their results. Some said they lost weight, but still wanted to quit since they wanted a quicker weight loss (even though I tried telling them that they should look at it long term, and a fast weight loss wasn't beneficial for maintaining their new body). Good thing the program comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. Thy got a refund, and were an experience richer.
The important factor here is commitment. You need to want it! If you want to lose weight, you will lose weight on The Venus Factor. It's a tested and proven diet, with apps that will tailor it specifically to you. All you have to do is execute.
Have you noticed any negative sides of the diet?
Well, like I mentioned above: it does require work. You can't just "kind of want to lose weight". Just buying the diet, and sitting and waiting to lose weight won't cut it.
On the technical side: I have experienced no downtime on their forums, no bugs in the apps and all the material was delivered straight after I purchased. It is well referenced to peer reviewed studies, so the material itself is solid.
After my first week I was a bit worried that I lost weight too fast, which might have been a negative side. I asked about it and they said it was completely normal (due to loss of water that's retained in your body). They were right, after that week, it stabilized.
Also, the program has received some undeserved bad marketing as several people are selling it through Youtube videos and free blogs (even guys who haven't even used it) – though I guess most products will experience this. Anyways, this gives people the impression that's it's just a quickly put together e-book – a scam product. This is not the case!
Will it work if I'm Asian? … Or if I'm old? … Or if I'm …
The diet will work for any woman.
The principle it relies on mechanisms we all have in our bodies, and thanks to the tailored approach by using the Virtual Nutritionist, it's tailored to your metabolism — irregardless of your age or ethnicity.
(Some research claims that there is a difference in the BMR (what your body will burn on idle, basically) between white and black women, but the difference is so small that it won't matter.)
Regarding age: I've seen people between 20—65 who have used The Venus Factor – all with great results. I wouldn't worry about being "too old" for the program.
Is it available in other languages?
Initially it was only available in English, but it has since due to popular demand been published in Spanish and Portuguese. So, to all my friends in Latin America, Brazil, Portugal and Spain (and many more): The Venus Factor en español y/e The Venus Factor em portuguêse!
Are there any dietary requirements? Will it work for vegans/vegetarians or if you're allergic to gluten?
I know several vegetarians and vegans that have done the diet. They've had no problems. You just need to watch out that you don't eat too much soy (which a lot of vegetarian products are based on). Some soy is fine, just don't overdo it. Some vegetarians will use protein shakes as a protein source after a workout, simply because it's more convenient, but it isn't a requirement.
The diet is as gluten-free as you want it to be. I don't eat gluten, and didn't eat it during the diet. That's no problem at all.
Do I get a hard copy?
The Venus Factor is a digital product, which means that it is delivered to you online. You don't have to wait for snail-mail: you can start right away. You can download the files, and put them on your phone or iPad/tablet (or even Kindle) and take them with you. You can also print the whole thing, or just a few pages. Of course, you can also just read them online — whatever floats your boat.
I put the workout plan on my iPhone, and took it to the gym – it worked great.
As an online product, you also have the benefit of updates and interactivity. You can post in the forum, and interact with fellow members, and you can receive pod-casts and new updates as you wish. It's a lot more fun than a boring old book. Also, you have all your material stored online, and you can access it from anywhere!
I understand that some people would like to order a hard copy of the material. In fact, the last time I talked to the creators of the program, they told me that they would release a hard copy at a later stage.
Any further questions?
Feel free to ask in the comments section below — I'll get back to you as quickly as I can (some questions might require a bit of research). And remember to join our free newsletter!

Lifehacker Top 50 apps
Programming is one of the most valuable skills you can pick up in these modern times, whether for career prospects or to stretch your brain and create something awesome. If you're just getting started on your coding journey, here are ten tips and resources to set you off on the right foot.
10. Figure Out Why You Want to Learn to Code
The direction you go in will depend in large part on why you want to learn to code in the first place and how much time you have to devote to learning. If you want to be a professional programmer, signing up college courses might be your best bet. (Google has a list of suggested skills and courses for would-be software engineers.) If you want to build websites or games for fun (and possibly profit) in your spare time, interactive tutorials might be better. Bloc has a comparison of course options based on workload, cost, and reason you're picking up programming. And if you're still deciding on a tech career, Switch will recommend one based on your interests.
9. Choose the Right Language
There's no one "best" programming language, and once you've learned one, it's fairly easy to pick up another, so don't get hung too up on choosing your first language. That said, some languages are more beginner-friendly than others. The language you choose to start with might depend, again, on your purpose. (For example, if you want to write an iOS app, you'll need to learn Swift.) There's a case for starting with C if you're serious about programming, although higher-level languages, like Python, are easier to jump into right away. Here's an infographic comparing a few popular programming languages.
8. Start Small (and Be Patient)
No matter which language or learning method you choose, you should start at the very beginning (a very good place to start). When David Sinsky taught himself to code in eight weeks, for example, he spent one weekend getting an introductory grasp of Python and one weekend getting an introductory understanding of Django—going through the tutorial, deleting all of the tutorial code, and working through the tutorial again from scratch. Start with the basics and be patient with yourself as you progress. To take your first coding project from start to finish, break down the project into simple steps. And if one method of learning isn't working for you (e.g., books), try another method before giving up.
7. Try a Kids App
Even toddlers are learning to code these days. That's actually a great thing for all of us. Although many of the programs designed to teach kids to code are very simplistic, many of them, like Scratch, are suitable for all ages. It doesn't matter how old you are; even kids' animation apps can get you started with the basics of programming (edX has a new course on Programming in Scratch, by the way).
6. Use Free Online Training Sites
Free online training sites like Codecademy and other Hour of Code participants can help you write your first computer program. Tutorials from KhanAcademy, Codecademy, Code.org, and many other organizations will introduce you to the basics of programming—all while creating a new game, site, or other project. Find the resources you need according to the language you're learning with Bento. These are good starting points, but you'll need to take the initiative to further or continue your learning after these introductions.
5. Take a Coding Course
Online computer science courses offer a bit more of rounded educational experience compared to online training sites focusing on one language. These courses are designed to teach you fundamental skills over several months in college-level classes. I can't personally recommend Harvard's CS50 (which you can take for free) enough, but there are many others you can take (many listed on our Lifehacker U series). You can even build a college-level computer science education with this selection of fifteen online courses.
4. Grab Some Free Programming Books
When you get stuck on a problem or just need to look something up, reference books come in very handy. There's a huge collection of over 500 free programming books posted on GitHub, and another collection of Ebooks covering 24 programming languages.
3. Play Coding Games
Often the best way to learn is through games. While plenty of coding tutorials have you building simple or complex games yourself, a couple of teaching sites are literally games: Code Combat and CodinGame are two you might have fun with.

A Body Language Expert Analyzed Meghan Markle and Queen Elizabeth's First Royal Visit
The new Duchess of Sussex was a guest of the Queen on a royal visit to Cheshire on Thursday.
Meghan Markle boarded the royal train with the monarch in the morning—a train so special not even her husband Prince Harry has had the honor of traveling on—up north in order to open the Mersey Gateway Bridge.
It was the first time that newly married Meghan, who was wearing a Givenchy dress
Meghan was—understandably—nervous.
In several of the pictures, there's some hair touching/flicking action going on, which could indicate Meghan's nervousness.
"Meghan's hair-touch gesture looks like a fill-in gesture, i.e. one we perform when we're not quite sure what to do," says Judi. "While the Queen looks as confident as any woman who has been doing the job for a lifetime, the normally uber-confident Meghan looks sweetly tentative and diffident here. Her lowered head brings her hair around her face and her rather awkward arm position suggests she's still slightly in awe of her husband's grandmother."
Fair enough, to be honest.
The Queen looked 'delighted' to have Meghan with her.
According to Judi, HRH's "narrowed-eyes and raised cheek smile" suggest she was delighted to have Meghan by her side.
Interacting with Meghan, the Queen also threw an "affectionate and reassuring-looking smile" at the Duchess, indicating that she understood there may be some nerves but that overall, she was happy to be joined by the new member of the family.
Meghan got more into her stride as the visit went on.
Though she may have been anxious, much of the way Meghan was interacting with the monarch suggests she had prepared for the day out. As is protocol, she walked behind the Queen and according to Judi, she was "diplomatic" when it came to her body language, too.
"Meghan faced the Queen as she chats but also leaned
The Queen and Meghan have 'fun' together.
The standout picture from the joint visit was of Meghan and the Queen having a right royal laugh - but is there a deeper meaning? Or did someone tell a joke?
"This is clearly the most adorable pose," says Judi, quite rightly. "The Queen having the best fun with Meghan beside her, sharing the laughter. The Queen's clenched fists and her style of smile suggest she's chuckling in delight. Meghan's pose is still more demure, with her legs crossed at the ankle but her lowered head and her smile suggest she's clearly sharing the joke here."
This is one

english.dabuanbodil.com is the name of the website that you are reading. The name which author gave to recognize this website on the internet.
Its content is diverse; starting from the list of addresses that the author considers important to be known by the readers of this website. There are also about economics and finance, stock information, bank codes, exchange rates information, 'coding', author opinions and several selected videos as a means of entertaining when the reader get bored in reading the articles on this website.
Inspired by a failure, Dabuan Bodil is actually the name of a natural bathing place in Kolang, Central Tapanuli, North Sumatra.
Why should I give it a name dabuanbodil.com while the contents are very diverse and may not tell about the bathing place?
It is difficult for the author to classify the entire contents of the articles in this website. One that is certain, is that the author has felt sorrow in managing Dabuan Bodil (the natural bathing place). And incidentally many contemplation that occurred in Dabuan Bodil, many things that became inspirations for the writer were found in Dabuan Bodil. And in this place the writer also finds many things about the life, including finding myself, understanding others, and another thing that why things are created differently, good and bad, perfect and lacking, happiness and suffering, both the author experienced, and that happens to other people in the writer's observation.
One thing is certain, the author did not succeed in making this place that had been a scrub into a tourist spot. The author fails to make the dream come true. And the failure was so imprinted that finally the author took another point of view, using the name of the place to be the name of this website with one hope and belief that if the writer did not succeed in that case, there were still other opportunities to remain creative, if not in making a tourist spot , maybe to write about tourist attractions, or other things, and other thoughts, because after all, a failure cannot make us giving-up.
And, finally the name lifted by the writer, to be a platform to write down what the author felt, in the past, now, and thoughts related to the future. And that can be a truth, or maybe just a form of imagination that the author considers to have meaning for the author himself, or maybe for someone else.
The author has a belief, that failure in the past is not a certainty of the future. It could be that past failures are a foundation for a better future. At least that is in my mind, because as what I believe, failure does not have to make us give up. Precisely failure must be the basis for doing better, for yourself, and if possible for others. And if that does not directly affect the lives of others, at least provide a new perspective for anyone who believes in that truth.
Keep doing something, because the author has a belief, whatever we do will never be in vain. Even a small step we make is a process towards a better life. Because indeed life will never change drastically, but through a process of evolution, as according to Darwin's Theory that man does not seem to be perfect as we are today. Because if so we would be surprised when we changed drastically from the primate form to the perfect human, like today. Evolution takes millions of years, so does the life we live. Drastic changes will make us suffer.
So if you don't get what you imagined today, still believe that anything needs time and process. Just as primate evolution to human form now takes millions of years, so the effort we make to change our lives also takes time.
And we need some time to understand ourselves. Also to understand other people.

Choosing the right Black oil paint
Which black oil color should I paint with?
Black is the product of fire. Color in the absence of light. Black is also the color of mystery, mourning, and Johnny Cash.
Why use black in a painting?
Simply put, no other color quickly or effectively creates shades as black. However, the strong mixing strength and/or temperature of some blacks can be difficult to control in nuanced color-mixing. Just as we have different whites in our Artists Grade line of oil colors, we offer six different blacks, each with their own unique characteristics. The relative opacity or transparency, tinting strength, and color temperature of a black all influence how it will behave on our palettes and in our paintings.
For this run-down of our different blacks, we're including both Van Dyke Brown and Payne's Gray as their temperature biases factor importantly into the discussion.
Gamblin's six blacks:

Homosildenafil (also known as methyl-sildenafil) is a synthetic drug which acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor.[1] It is an analog of sildenafil and vardenafil. Homosildenafil was first identified as an adulterant in sex enhancement products in 2003 and was more recently detected in dietary supplements.[2][3][4][5]
Homosildenafil has 35% the PDE5 inhibition activity of sildenafil itself with similar selectivity.[1]
Sildenafil is mainly metabolized by the microsomal isozymes CYP3A4 with secondary metabolism by CYP2C9. The major active metabolite is N-desmethylsildenafil. The plasma level of the equivalent homosildenafil metabolite reaches 40% of sildenafil's bioavailability. The N-desmethyl metabolite is further metabolized, with a half-life of 4 hours.[6][7][8][9]

SUMMERS' HORSES by Ralph Cotton
Ralph Cotton is one of the most popular Western writers currently producing novels, and he produces them steadily. Summers' Horses is one of his current releases. I was drawn to the spectacular cover and the certain knowledge that the cowboy pictured there was up against some rough odds.
I grew up on Louis L'Amour, Luke Short, and Ace Double Westerns when I was a kid, then migrated over to George G. Gilman's Edge series when I was in my late teens. The Edge books are a sprawling bloodfest, much different than the L'Amour books, but they both had their audiences. I'd put Ralph Cotton somewhere in between those two bookends. His Old West looks and feels real, but there's a rawness to the characters and the story that can make some readers uncomfortable.
Cotton is also a writer that doesn't mince words and doesn't dawdle. Summers' Horses takes off so fast that I felt lost a few times. I knew that horse trader Will Summers was our hero, but he kind of got lost in the shuffle at times while Cotton was rounding out his cast of characters.
The cast got big awfully quick, and for light reading I was required to keep up with a lot of people. The fact that Cotton kills characters off pretty regularly helps shave that task down to a manageable size, and he keeps track of everyone and every goal because he brings everything to head and ties up the loose ends.
Still, I'm more accustomed to riding with the hero instead of wondering where he is. Will Summers isn't quite the hero in this tale either. He's just a guy trying to keep a string of horses together, which works in the long run for those wanting realistic heroes and plots. I tend to prefer guys who rise to the occasion and become heroes along the way.
The reading is easy. Scene leads to scene, and there is a lot going on all over the place even though Summers isn't at the center of everything. Western readers looking for a solid story from a writer very comfortable in his craft will enjoy this one.

"Extraction in Seconds". Due to the in-tip dispersive nature of DPX dSPE tips, extraction occurs rapidly during simple aspiration and dispense steps. Customers typically find that sample preparation time is significantly reduced when compared to traditional SPE. DPX tips seamlessly integrate onto automated liquid handlers for unparalleled ease-of-use.
DPX offers two different approaches to urine preparation.
- The first is a simple filtration of post-hydrolysis urine samples. DPX filtration tips utilizing Tip-on-Tip (ToT) technology provide a simple, fast, and effective way to filter sub-micron particulates/protein/enzyme from urine samples. The online filtration process takes less than two minutes and provides an automated alternative to centrifugation.
- The second approach uses dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) tips to offer the cleanest samples for injection. Our in-tip dSPE technology promotes minimal sorbent mass allowing for low volume elution and dilution, thereby circumventing the need for solvent evaporation. Cleaner extracts lead to longer column life, less LC-MS/MS maintenance, fewer repeat injections, and reduced data analysis time.
Whether you are in the early stages of method development with a new application or are seeking to enhance current throughput, DPX products offer a solution! DPX offers a variety of workflow solutions that are compatible with most pipetting systems-manual, semi-automated, and fully automated. Connect with us for more information.
DPX can customize tips in the form of various sorbent types and amounts. DPX is proud to offer confidential product customization, method development, and workflow solutions. Connect with us for more information.
DPX tips are routinely used with whole blood, serum, urine, oral fluid and solid biological specimens in a variety of applications. The DPX technology portfolio combined with various sorbent types and filtration mediums facilitate solutions for the majority of analyte/matrix variations.
We recommend that you first explore the various DPX technologies and methodologies. After isolating the appropriate methodology, the sorbent type/amount or filtration porosity is selected based on the analytes of interest or matrix, respectively.
Since the possibilities are endless, please reach out to one the of DPX scientists for product/method recommendations. You can also explore our resources section for previously established methods.
Certainly! DPX Technologies has been recognized for its outstanding on-site customer support. We provide confidential and customized technical assistance with method development and/or validation as you incorporate our products into your workflow. Contact us to discuss this program.
Yes! It is very important to us that customers validate our products in their laboratories. DPX tip technology continues to be highlighted in a number of peer-reviewed publications and presentations. Click here for a list of citations.
Absolutely! We have partnered with a number of leading manufacturers in order to provide customized high-throughput solutions. For example, we have developed technical applications specific to urine and oral fluid using Hamilton and Tecan liquid handling workstations. Whether you are currently using laboratory automation or are seeking to incorporate it into your sample preparation process, DPX Technologies offers seamless integration with a number of liquid handling platforms. Connect with us to learn more.
Yes! DPX tips are used in academia, start-up labs and those without automated liquid handlers. Our tips are designed to work with many hand held pipettes, semi-automated platforms and our own pneumatic extractor. Contact us for more information.

Been 12-volt on my Chief for about 15 years, and I'm tired of getting faulty points. It's gotta be better than this.
I always use a 12-v coil that says "internal resistor", or "no external resistor required". I've heard it said that a resistor is still a good idea regardless of the coil's claim. Auto parts folks come up short for me on availability of resistors, advising me to "go to a salvage yard and ..". I've tried a few resistors, but am not confident that they have been the answer (spotty history of experience).
I've also tried the electronic breaker, and was impressed by its dependability, after a night rain for instance. But mine failed due to an ammeter that corroded and lost voltage until the amperage burned out the breaker. Felt a little chagrinned about spending another 200+, so went back to points. But I'm going to try it again.
Still (and I searched the subject here, no results), I'd like to read some discussion on the subject of FOULED POINTS.
Can anybody help me?

O hour of images when we sniff the herb
Of childhood and forget who we are and dream
Like whistling boys of the vast spaces
Of the Inconsistent racing towards us
With all its appealing private detail. But
Our ways are revealing; crossing the legs
Or resting the cheek in the hand, we
Hide the mouths through which the Disregarded
Will always enter. For we know we're not boys
And never will be: part of us all hates life,
And some are completely against it.
Spring leads the truculent sailors into
The park, and the plump little girls, but none
Are determined like the tiny brains who found
The great communities of summer:
Only on battlefields, where the dying
With low voices and not very much to say
Repair the antique silence the insects broke
In an architectural passion.
Can night return to our cooling fibres.
O not even war can frighten us enough,
That last attempt to eliminate the Strange
By uniting us all in a terror
Of something known, even that's a failure
Which cannot stop us taking our walks alone,
Scared by the unknown unconditional dark,
Down the avenues of our longing:
For however they dream they are scattered.
Our bones cannot help reassembling themselves
Into the philosophic city where dwells
The knowledge they cannot get out of;
And neither a Spring nor a war can ever
So condition his ears as to keep the song
That is not a sorrow from the Double Man.
O what weeps is the love that hears, an
Accident occurring in his substance.

PFL Xbox Season 2 Ring Hunt
In terms of PFL juggernauts this year, maybe, the most loaded talent wise at the top end of the league. There are a number of people in each conference who will say they can win the Superbowl (Apart from PatsUK who will say he's lucky). Looking through the divisions you can make a case for someone winning the ring in both, if not multiple teams! So here is my opinion… I didn't take part in season one so not 100% certain what went down barring records! But here we go!
AFC Eas…Y!
3 PFL powerhouses under one roof, Vondia (Bills) & Toploader (Dolphins) met in a Superbowl on Madden 18 and built 2 of the most stacked teams the PFL have ever seen, they started with 2 of the worst the league has ever seen this year and reality hasn't quite settled in for Vondia.
Making another Superbowl which he eventually lost, but still got them there. Another year, draft and more trades and the Bills are almost unrecognisable from the dumpster fire he started with, will be a contender for sure.
Toploader didn't find life quite so easy after swapping his multi all pro Lions team for the Dolphins, though being his own team he will enjoy trying to build them more…or will homerism stop him from making the moves he needs to compete! After finishing 7-9 in year 1 you would expect an improvement and a fire back in the belly to get back to the dizzy heights he reached in Madden 18, but the division could prove too tough a task.
I said 3 powerhouses and thats because an old face just rejoined! Daburg is back and back in familiar territory, he has won a Superbowl for the Jets and is back to try do it again, though this time could prove more different as the roster he was left with was seriously neglected and no one is trading with him You would expect his skill level to get him out of a few holes, but the roster could let him down when it gets to games with fellow big heads!
Rounding up this division and showing how tough it is, Bihrawoski, who has made massive improvements since Madden18 and shown the determination to get better, the AFC is again full of talented guys and its a testament to him that he made the play offs in year one with a 10-6 record! With another good player added to the division, the evidence suggests he will play up to his opponent and is living proof by playing the better players more often you become a better player yourself!
STANDINGS (prediction)
Bills @Vondia
Jets @DaBurg864
Dolphins @TopLoader
Patriots @biharowski
AFC West
This was a close division that went down to the last game for the decider for who was going to be the division champion. The Chiefs beat the Raiders to win the division in week 17.
Nicelub is the coach lucky enough to play with that high powered Chiefs offence and while having good ratings to start with, Madden didnt quite predict right just how good they would be! Nicelub's 9-7 record was enough to edge it and make the play offs. He is always competitive and rarely hands out big beatings and rarely beaten by big scores himself.
The Raiders and Shmarky were the real surprise package but just couldnt give the fairy tale a happy week 17 ending. Really had some struggles getting Ws on Madden18 and then taking on the in my opinion the worst roster in the league for Madden 19 I thought he would be lucky to get 3 wins, so to finish 8-8 in a tough conference and division with that team was a real coach of the year story. Made some nice moves in the off season and will be interesting to see if he goes up another level!
Aaron probably the biggest shock of the year by being so poor! Chargers are stacked and Aaron is a good player so to finish 3rd in the division with a 7-9 record is a real shock to me looking at the standings! New game not fitting right or mind elsewhere (ps4). Will surely improve this year and be back in contention for later play off stages
Another underperformer was FWJ, he got his hometown Broncos and this division looked like one of the most even in the league being difficult to predict with probably the Chargers favourites. But Joe and His Broncos went 3-13 and after making a few play offs last year I know Joe will want to be back in the mix this year for the end of season party.
Chargers @Aaron
Chiefs @nicelub
Raiders @Shmarky
Broncos @fortworthjoe
AFC North
The Bengals romped their way to the title in this division last year and its difficult to suggest year 2 will be any different. The Bengals have some great 'Madden' players and zoso traded for a few more like Zach Cunningham. Zoso finished with a 15-1 record and no one got close to threatening him.
Sleepzoid of the steelers had a little flirt with the play offs but a holiday towards the end of the season ended that hunt, his Steelers roster is stacked and added a few more stars during the draft, he managed 6 wins last year and slow and steady improvement will be the goal again….also cutting down on the picks!
Willo finished closest to Zoso in terms of wins, with a 7-9 record and after almost leaving his position as Browns head coach decided to fight it out and stay, he has improved the again, moving up in the draft to take an early star and adding Jonathan Allen to create some interior pressure! Willo see's himself as a play off contender on Madden and is a better player than his record, funnily enough he always see's the Colts as a play off team and they never quite live up to expectations either…
Triangle King and his Ravens finish off the north, Lamar Jackson show didnt quite go to plan in year one, with a 3-12-1 record he almost walked away, but a last gasp win over the Raiders made him fight on, always keen to learn more asking questions and can see he wants to get better, now just needs to make his hand coordination match his mind and will be fighting! I have been there myself with a 3-13 record and as long as you get better every year not worse thats improvement!
Bengals @ZoSo
Steelers @Sleepyzoid76
Browns @Willo
Ravens @Triangle King
AFC South
The stacked Jags roster with a former multi Superbowl winning coach was a bad advert for the random draft process but he will argue others should have picked them! Ramsdan took home the AFC South crown and then lost out to the Bills in the divisional round. Bortles has issues but the new rookie didnt look the mustard in pre season so will the QB struggle still be real! He finished 14-2 and even had a few cheeky holidays! this is the type of team you'd build on football manager and then let the assistant do the work! lol Will be favourites again!
The Colts finished 2nd with an 11-5 record and with a year under the belt for Rayski this team should have got better, it was a young bad roster but that is better than an old bad roster! The Colts also fell in the divisional round against the Bengals, will be looking to make the play offs and possibly more as the roster should be better week 1 in season 2 than it was in season 1!
Texans coach Winti almost found himself the public enemy after giving Vondia more texans players like his precious nuuuuuk! But no one would ever pick winti as an emeny because he's just so nice to every one! He pulled off a couple of shocks including a victory over Rayski's Colts. Another who wants to improve and just needs to keep at it, an outside shot of a wildcard spot if the schedule and a few field goals fall in his favour.
Tripperman and the Titans unlucky to be in such a tough division, but he could set himself a goal of beating Rayski and Ramsdan and making one of them miss the party, I believe he actually did beat rayski last year and Trips main issue is consistency, maybe he hasnt took a break and has been labbing in the madden lab…Week 1's results the titans could be one to keep an eye on…

Play Offs
NFC East
This division went to the wire and actually had 2 teams finish on the same record. Old boy Danmc's Giants and new boys Toby's Redskins both finished 10-6, the only difference was the Giants 5-1 division record v the Redskins 4-2, experience showed up?
DanMc loves to pound the rock, we all remember CJ2K from Madden 18 and this year when he landed Barkley we knew what was coming! Keeping Barkley on the field proved to be the biggest issue but he stll wracked up the yards, plus, having Odel Beckham as a fall back aint all that bad is it! Will be wanting to repeat his division championship but certainly will want to improve from the blow out loss in the play offs.
Toby and his Redskins learned the hard way how improved division wins are, could have been a great first season but making 10 wins and missing out on the play offs must have been a tough pill to swallow! Darrius Guice proved way to hot to handle for most coaches and he romped home all the awards and XP to himself, if he keeps him on the field he must feel real confident about taking down old Big Blue.
Hubble landed with the stacked Eagles but the performances on the field were incosistent, with big wins over guys like Stuey were followed up with let down performances in more favourable match ups. If he can cut out the picks he might fancy himself with an outside chance of making a bigger noise in the division. We have seen proof when he sticks to the game plan he can beat anyone.
Heli landed the Cowboys AGAIN, but so far the 'never go back' saying has been all too true, really struggled in year one, finishing bottom of a division he felt like he had a chance in, he traded away Zeke and maybe if he gets some more one on one sessions with Daburg he could have a bigger say in where the NFC East crown falls this year.
Redskins @Toby Carswell
Giants @DanMcGrath77
Cowboys @helimachoptor
Eagles @hubblewiffle
NFC West
The West had two teams finish with 13-3 record (the only division with 2 teams on 13 or more wins), so this was a regular season powerhouse. Bos was in a tough division with a bad team on Madden 18 and is now reaping the rewards of playing 6 tough division games a season for a year and flying with the Cardinals. Arguably the worst team in the division roster wise and then finishing out as winners and one of his losses was a sim i believe. Another year and a years improvement on the roster Bos will be looking for a deeper play off run.
Overduewand, another first year PFL'er and he's not american as everyone thought! He's a londoner! and this lucky londonder bagged a stacked Rams roster to play with and his skill level has matched the roster, making it to the NFC Championship game just missing out on a superbowl in a 16-13 loss against the Saints. With a years experience you would expect improvements this year.
49ers coach is of course Ken, who else? Ken is usually floating around the 500 mark on a season so he will be a bit disappointed with himself finishing with a 3-13 record, win or lose Ken is always gracious and is just here for the NFL fun!
Snapdan returns as the Seahawks which could make the divsion even more of a powerhouse or the Rams, Cardinals and Seahawks could all just take wins from each other, speaking in 3rd person is weird so I'm just going to say I'll win this division, screw you guys
Seahawks @SnapDan
Cardinals @Bos
Rams @overduewand
49ers @Ken2Blitzkrieg
NFC North
Of coruse just like Ken is the 9ers, Volki is the Packers, even in a simmed/random/blind draft they always seem to get paired! Volki is the best on the site at finding ways to lose, one year the tanking has to end and I thought looking at the members in this division it was very winnable for him and the tanking would have to stop! Maybe season 2 he will finally show us the real volki…
Milo, the local dingle bagged the Vikings and rode that defence all the way to the NFC North title, plus he showed the world what no one knew, how good Kirk Cousins was at using his legs! currenlty off sailing America, a slow start could hamper his play off chances.
Sparky had a few division wins with the Bucs during Madden 18 and must have fancied his chances at a few more in this divison with the Lions. A 5-11 finish might have been a bit of a wake up call and a few people were surprised to find Matthew Stafford in the free agents list! A Former NFC North QB is back, Teddy Bridgewater is the new man chosen to take the Lions to the next level.
JA got his Bears, unfortunately for him it was a week or 2 before they traded for Khalil Mack! Still like everyone in this division, will have been feeling like he could have won it. It avoided any Superbowl winners and possibly even contenders, but a disappointing first season with a 3-13 record, but could be one to surprise a few this year!
Packers @dr_volki
Bears @JA15
Vikings @HLR Milo
Lions @SPARKYR008

A bit like when the Jags name was pulled out next to Ramsdan, moans spread the room when HitTheSticks pulled the Falcons and PatsUK pulled the Saints. Hitthesticks swept threw the regular season 15-1 only losing against the Redskins, he was full of confidence going into the post season but fell against the Saints and Patsuk who he had already beaten twice during the regular season. This year he's been making moves and signing ALL the waivers to make sure he can go another step.
Patsuk the superbowl champ! Always turns it on for the big play off games under the lights and always suffers a few hiccups during the season, people need to make sure his Saints arent invited to the post season party because thats when you see him at his best.
Woody was stuck in the division of death with the Panthers, injuring any of his division opponents players was a good goal to aim for, has improved since last year and finally rid of turnover Cam, will be hoping his new rookie QB is legit and getting a few more than the 4 wins he managed last year.
The Bucs had to appoint a new coach mid season after their old one stood down, did it weaken the division or make it stronger? It's too early to tell where Nillis falls in the power rankings but he will have to be a quick learner if he wants to make the play offs!

Nizam Ahmed (Chittagong University)
Lecturer at Chittagong University, Bangladesh
P4P Medium Grant Recipient
Project Details
History of the Development of Parliaments in South and South-East Asia: A Study of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
For this project Professor Nizam Ahmed – a leading authority on parliaments in South Asia – will compare the history of the development, decline and resurgence of parliaments in four countries – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Parliaments in the countries of South Asia in the immediate post-Independence period were patterned after the British model. However, with the exception of India, none has had an uninterrupted existence. The project will culminate in a knowledge sharing workshop to Yangon. This will help to inform the work of researchers and civil society organizations in Myanmar which have been working on strengthening parliaments and nurturing cultures of representations, participation and inclusion.
Duration: October 2018 to August 2019
About Nizam Ahmed
Professor Nizam Ahmed has taught Public Administration at the University of Chittagong since July 1979.

"Yeah, getting there," I said.
Silence sat thick between us. And then he twisted his head to look at me, a strange expression on his face. "I'd kill for you. You know that, right? When they come, I'll kill them. All of them. As many as they send."
I swallowed hard. "I know. I wish we could just…sell everything. Take your money and go. Buy a big boat and live out there. Like we were. Just you and me. They'd never find us. I'll live that life with you."
He shook his head. "I wish we could, too. But Kyrie, I've—I've put this off long enough. Hidden from them long enough. Avoided. Pretended I didn't know they were watching and waiting. I have to end this." His gaze cleared, the haze of alcohol burning away under the intensity of his expression. "Let me hide you. Send you with Harris somewhere they'll never find you. Let me handle this. Handle her. I'll take care of things, and then we can—"
"No." I stood up. "No, Valentine. Not happening. I'm not leaving your side. I don't have anywhere to go. I have no one and nothing but you. I'm staying."
"What about Cal? And Layla?"
I shrugged miserably. "I love them. Of course I do. But my brother? Cal has his own life. He doesn't know anything about any of this, and it's better that way. He's a college kid. He plays beer pong and hazes new frat pledges and studies for midterms. And Layla? I don't want her involved. I go anywhere near her, all of this could spill over and put her in danger. She's my best friend. Closer than a sister. And I just can't put her at risk."
Roth nodded. Stood up, put his hands on my shoulders for balance. "Okay, then."
I waited, but he didn't say anything else. "Okay? All that, and all you have to say now is 'okay'?"
He frowned down at me. "What do you want me to say, Kyrie?"
"I don't know." I turned away, watched the red taillights and white headlights streaming in opposite directions far beneath me. My voice was small and broken. "Anything. Tell me you love me. Tell me it'll be okay."
His silence was long and fraught. "I can't tell you it'll be okay. I won't lie to you."
I turned in place and put my back to the railing. I waited, watched him. His eyes were lucid and searching me. He was still drunk, but in the dark, depressed, hopeless stage. "That's it, then?"
"I'm drunk, Kyrie. I haven't slept in days. Haven't showered in longer. I'm a mess. I'm fucked up. I don't know what I'm feeling or how to deal with it. I'm scared to sleep. I'm scared to touch you. To let you touch me. I'm…useless right now."
I let out a long, tremulous breath. Summoned my courage. My determination. "Come on." I took his hand, led him inside.
He followed me, let me pull him into the bathroom. He stood still, eyes narrow and hooded, watching me as I gingerly unbuttoned his pants. "What are you doing, Kyrie?"
"You're taking a shower, and I'm going to help you. I need one, too. Let's take this slow, okay? One moment, one hour, one day at a time."
I lowered the zipper, tugged the denim down. I knelt, helped him step out, let him steady himself with a hand on my shoulder. He stood before me in a pair of gray Calvin Klein boxer briefs, muscular, toned, and beautiful. I turned on the water, set it to the hottest it would go, and let it steam up the bathroom. I stood in front of him, still in my jeans and T-shirt. I wanted him to reach for me, to help me out of my shirt, out of my pants. But he didn't. He just stood there, and my heart broke a little. I peeled my shirt off slowly, never taking my eyes from his. I unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans, stepping out of them. I waited in my bra and underwear, watching as his chest filled and lowered with deep breaths, his eyes moving over my body.
Not looking away from his conflicted blue gaze, I reached up behind my back and freed the hooks of my bra. Shrugging out of it, I let the undergarment fall to the marble. Tugged the waistband of my panties down with my thumbs, let the underwear fall to the floor, and stepped free. And then I was naked in front of him, and his hands were twitching at his sides, his brows lowered, muscles heavy, fists clenched, chest heaving.
I waited.
He took a step toward me, and my heart lifted, my pulse beating just a little harder. "Kyrie…."
"Roth. I'm here. I'm yours. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid," he growled.
"Then touch me. Prove it."
"I have to prove myself to you?"
I shut down the hurt. "No. That's not what I meant. You won't hurt me. I won't hurt you. I'm not her. You're not there anymore. You're with me. You're safe." I stepped toward him. Put my hands on his waist, smoothed them up his back, trying to block out the pain in my heart at the way he flinched at my touch. "It's me, Valentine. You can trust me, you know that. I love you. I just…I need you to love me back."
He blinked, squeezed his eyes shut, spoke through gritted teeth. "I'm trying, Kyrie. I'm fucking trying, okay?"
The war within me was a furious onslaught of need versus fear versus memory versus nightmare. She stood naked in front of me, tanned taut skin, lush curves, long blonde hair sleep- and wind-mussed, eyes reddened and wet with tears. She was trying to hide her emotions from me, trying to be strong for me, but I could read her like a book. She couldn't hide from me, and I hated that she felt like she had to. She needed me. She wanted me. What had happened between us on the boat… had fucked her up, no matter what she said. But she was soldiering on. Forgiving me. But yet…she doubted. I felt it. I saw it in her.
It hadn't been right. She'd done it for me; she'd given herself to me because she'd seen my need. But that hadn't been me. Hadn't been us. It was something I couldn't wrap my brain around, something I couldn't adequately define or explain to myself.
And now here she was, naked and willing. Telling me she loved me. Begging me to touch her. To love her. And Jesus, I wanted to. Needed to. I needed her. I had to remind both of us of who I was. I had to know Gina hadn't somehow stripped me of my capacity for love and gentility and passion; just as importantly, I had to know she hadn't robbed me of my strength or my masculinity.

Lee's Grilled Cheese
I haven't been to Lee's yet, but wanted to add an important cautionary tale. According to an astute and casual reader whose spouse repeatedly attacks me through her pointed anonymous comments, the line at Lee's can get pretty long and the wait may be longer than anticipated. Lee's has a pretty extensive menu of....grilled cheeses. But those take time and you know there are those people that get all the way to the front of the fifteen minute line and then ask questions like, "so, what kind of cheeses have you got?" Despite the cheese menu being printed in the language of the obese (English) right next to where they've been standing.
This same astute reader says the wait is more than worth it because this is the best food in the park. I'll visit at some point and verify or dispute this claim, but a grilled cheese with pulled pork and jalapenos would be pretty good right about now.
Check out Lee's Grilled Cheese here for additional details.
Well, that's all I've got for now but there will be more. Salsa Limon is making regular appearances and I still owe you a more detailed review of Lee's. Fill in the gaps on what else is good in the comments.
Don't forget that the Fort Worth Food Park is BYOB and open Thurdsay-Sunday. Check out the schedule at their website or be adventurous and just go.
