Colorado Springs man accused of carjacking
Police arrested a 33-year-old man on July 12, accusing him of carjacking a vehicle in Colorado Springs.
They claimed that the arrestee took the car without permission at approximately 12:45 p.m. outside a Little Caesars pizza restaurant on Gallery Road.
Police stated that they made the arrest after chasing the car into a field. The arrestee was accused of holding a gun during the incident and fled on foot following the chase. Despite the police accusations concerning the use of a firearm, no weapon was found on the arrestee at the time he was taken into custody.
In an unrelated incident, Colorado Springs police arrested a woman at approximately 8:51 p.m. on the evening of July 10 after receiving reports claiming that she had stabbed her boyfriend, inflicting life-threatening injuries requiring his hospitalization. The 42-year-old woman allegedly stabbed him with a kitchen knife during an argument about car keys. The stab wound he suffered was in his arm as he tried to leave the residence during the argument.
In a third incident, police took a Liberty High School science teacher into custody on July 7, charging him with sexual assault on a teenage female student. They said that the abuse took place in February. The arrestee formerly also served as a boys basketball coach at the school, but was replaced from that position this June after two seasons spent coaching. He was suspended from his teaching job in March after school authorities were informed of the sexual assault accusations.
The 32-year-old teacher was released after posting a $25,000 bond set by the court. The girl he is suspected of sexually assaulting is reportedly somewhere between the ages of 15- and 18-years-old.

Mayor Jorge Elorza made a conscious decision before Tuesday's State of the City address not to respond to hundreds of teachers who turned out to protest the breakdown of contract negotiations.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Mayor Jorge Elorza said he made a conscious decision before Tuesday's State of the City address not to respond to hundreds of teachers who turned out to protest the breakdown of contract negotiations.
Elorza chose not to address the nearly 900 teachers who interrupted his speech with cries of "Shame, Shame."
"I spoke with the commissioner [of public safety] beforehand, and he advised me people were in the chamber and likely were going to be loud," Elorza said during an interview at The Journal Wednesday. "We agreed to give them an opportunity ... to be heard.
"So I walked in [and] greeted everyone," he said. "I got through a couple of lines and they continued to chant. I gave them that time. I let them speak. When it became clear to me they were going to continue ... I just figured I would just deliver my prepared speech."
Elorza also said that his speech was "not the best forum for dialogue," adding that he is committed to sitting down at the table with the union: "That's where the true back and forth really happens."
The Journal sent Elorza a handful of questions about contract negotiations and he promised to respond by the end of the day.
"As the Mayor noted last night, he never left the table," wrote Emily Crowell, the mayor's chief of staff, in an email to The Journal. "Negotiations are ongoing and he remains at the table to resolve this matter."
Meanwhile, Maribeth Calabro, the president of the Providence Teachers Union, said the rally was the first of many planned protests, which will continue until the city restores contract negotiations.
She said the union is frustrated that contract talks broke off in mid-January after both sides had a "gentlemen's agreement" that called for modest pay raises.
The last offer from the city caught union leaders off-guard, Calabro said. It called for no raises in the first two years of the contract and a 0.5-percent raise the final year, according to the union.
"We were blindsided," she said. "Charles Ruggierio, the city's chief negotiator, said, 'We're not in a position to offer you anything.' I said, 'Say this again?'"
After Tuesday's speech, the mayor urged the union to "be reasonable" and said that the "status quo" isn't working.
Calabro complained about a revolving door of negotiators from the city, which she said has dragged out the process.
"We won't be unreasonable," she said. "We're staying within the range [of raises] offered to other unions. I find it hysterical that 16 days after boasting of a surplus, the city said there is zero money for teacher raises."
Calabro said the city was asking for a reduction in sick days. She said that if the city thinks some teachers are abusing sick leave, then it should speak to those supposed offenders.
"Don't tell me that we don't have an abundance of people out with life-threatening conditions," she said.
Teachers in Providence earn eight sick days a year for the first three years and 15 sick days each year afterward. Teachers can accrue sick days, but no teacher can carry more than 150 days.
Calabro concluded by saying that the Tuesday night protest is the first "in a long step of a strategic plan to keep the mayor on notice until [the city] gets back to the bargaining table."

Meeting in Berlin with Nigerian Foreign Minister
Foreign Minister Steinmeier and his Nigerian counterpart Aminu Wali discussed bilateral issues, Ebola and the kidnapped girls at the meeting of the German-Nigerian Binational Commission.
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier met his Nigerian counterpart Aminu Bashir Wali on the margins of the meeting of the German-Nigerian Binational Commission. The focus of their discussion was on bilateral issues, Ebola, the fight against Boko Haram terrorism, and the plight of the kidnapped girls, who remain in captivity. Foreign Minister Steinmeier underlined that he shared his Nigerian counterpart's hope that the over 200 missing girls will soon be freed.
In a joint statement with his Nigerian counterpart Aminu Wali in Berlin on Tuesday (21 October), Foreign Minister Steinmeier highlighted the close and ever more intensive cooperation with Nigeria. The Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs was in Berlin to attend the meeting of the German-Nigerian Binational Commission. The focus of the discussion was on bilateral relations between Nigeria and Germany, the situation in the countries hit by the Ebola epidemic, and current developments in Africa.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Nigeria to be free of Ebola on Monday (20 October). Foreign Minister Steinmeier paid tribute to his Nigerian counterpart for this achievement, which he described as "one of the few rays of hope" in the fight against the epidemic. He also reiterated the willingness of the 28 EU member states to do their part in the affected regions by providing financial support and "active help on the ground", as discussed at yesterday's Foreign Affairs Council meeting.
Hope that the kidnapped schoolgirls will soon be freed
The threat by the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram was also on the agenda. People in Germany were particularly shocked by the kidnapping of over 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria in April 2014. All over the world, people have been calling for the girls' release and showing solidarity with their families in the Bring Back Our Girls campaign. Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs reported on the latest progress in talks with the terrorist group. Foreign Minister Steinmeier wished the Nigerian Government success in the negotiations: "We share your hope that the girls will be freed."
German-Nigerian Binational Commission strengthens further cooperation
The two foreign ministers met in Berlin for the meeting of the German-Nigerian Binational Commission. Steinmeier underlined that the aim was to further intensify the "already close relations" between the two countries. He reported that the Commission had decided to strengthen cooperation in the field of forensics and border control. Steinmeier described the bilateral cooperation in the energy sector as the "flagship of our relations" which is of benefit to both countries. He also said that four solar power plants would be installed in the Nigerian state of Katsina.
Steinmeier also announced that he would meet Aminu Wali again in a few days' time in Abuja, along with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. The two foreign ministers are travelling to Nigeria this weekend for the second Franco-German ministerial visit to the country. Steinmeier said that this joint visit highlights Nigeria's importance for Germany and France, both as the most populous country in Africa and as an economic powerhouse on the African continent.

Australians are being urged to share their organ donation decisions with their families following a slight decrease in the number of donors.
Figures from the Organ and Tissue Authority show 1117 Australians had their lives transformed by 378 organ donors in 2014, which was down three per cent on the previous year.
Fewer livers and lungs were transplanted, but the number of kidneys and hearts transplanted increased.
The heart transplant count includes two "dead" heart transplants, a world-first procedure performed by St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney.
The successful operations used hearts donated from patients "after circulatory death", where the heart is no longer beating.
Previously, heart transplant units relied on donor hearts from brain-dead donors.
The procedure has the potential to boost heart transplant numbers in the future.
OTA's chief executive Yael Cass said family knowledge of organ donation decisions was a key factor in determining consent.
"Families who have discussed and know the donation decision of their loved ones are much more likely to say yes to donation," Ms Cass said.
Request to families for donation were made in about 680 cases in 2014, with about 415 families consenting.
* About 1500 people are on the Australian organ transplant waiting lists at any one time
* Kidneys are the predominant organ donated and transplanted
* 659 kidneys were transplanted from deceased organ donors, up two per cent
* 237 livers were transplanted, down six per cent
* 159 lungs were transplanted, down five per cent
* 79 hearts were transplanted, up three per cent

THE CRUSADER: Holiday pair's hotel tangle
A costly double booking error risked casting a cloud over two sisters' relaxing break in Devon.
A costly double booking error risked casting a cloud over two sisters' relaxing break in Devon
After relatives of Pam Croft and Rosalind Rawlings moved to the picturesque county, the pair decided to make a holiday of their first visit and treat themselves to a few nights in a boutique hotel.
A few weeks ago Rosalind booked a double room for two nights in mid-June at the comfortable Mercure Rougemont in Exeter.
But as the prospect really took their fancy, they decided to extend their break and stay another night.
This time Pam took charge of the reservation, again making it through website Booking.com and for the Rougemont.
But the process did not go smoothly and Pam mistakenly booked a double room twice for the same night.
Even though she knew within seconds that she had slipped up, today's digital world, where actions have instantaneous consequences, takes no prisoners.
A quick mistake online could be very costly
"I realised immediately what had happened, I did not even leave the screen, and tried to rectify it straight away. But I was still charged twice, so £72 more than I intended," she told Crusader.
Today's digital world takes no prisoners
Pam says she first went to Booking.com but it referred her and her sister to the Rougemont.
As she held the main booking, Rosalind thought she would try first, but was unsuccessful. However the reservation that was at issue was not in her name, making it impossible for any organisation to take action in those circumstances.
"When I called," says Pam, "I was told there was no one there at the time who could do it, so that seemed to be that.
"But my sister and I are both seniors, and paying for an extra room that was clearly a mistake did seem rather harsh.
"We could have understood if they asked for an administration charge to change it, but the whole price seemed over the top. As well as acting quickly the booking was for June, so there was time to get another guest."
We asked the Rougemont if in the light of the points Pam made and the fact that she and her sister were going to be customers anyway it could review its decision.
We are happy to say it came back swiftly and had clearly listened. General manager Craig Findleton said: "Advance purchase deals offer great prices which guests like to enjoy and commit to.
The Mercure Rougemont in Exeter
"On this occasion as a gesture of goodwill we have refunded Mrs Croft's payment for the booking and Booking.com will send her confirmation of the cancellation."
"We are so relieved," Pam responded when she heard. "The shadow over our stay has been lifted, thank you."
With the ease too now that online mistakes can occur, many companies offer a grace period for a booking check, beyond the standard legal rights of customers.
But before it gets to a battle there are steps everyone can take to protect themselves so they get it right first time.
BEFORE CLICKING: Check the terms
Excessive fees to change a booking or a contract remain a sore point with consumers, and those that seem unquestionably unjust can fall into the category of unfair contract terms which breach consumer law and can be challenged.
But lesser ones upset customers too and then it becomes a matter of what is considered fair play.
Before clicking check the terms and conditions for piece of mind before booking
Tedious though it is, look at the terms and conditions before you book. Even if you don't want to wade through a long list, check those covering cancellation and alteration.
If you are booking a property such as hotel room through a website, remember there may also be two lots of conditions: the site's and the particular place, whose terms have the over-riding say-so.
The big thing to watch out for across-the-board however are deals and special offers. These work on lower profit margins for the business and because of that are usually non-refundable, so always take a moment before clicking.

You are correct that in economic downturns many do go to urban areas. Even in good times most people go to urban areas. I think the US population is now 80% urban/suburban. Rural areas are barely holding their own population-wise and many areas are seeing actual population declines. We've had this discussion about young people and immigrants heading to the cities. The key word here is "downturn". Come a collapse, people will not be going to the cities. Spain has not collapsed. It still has a functioning govt and infrastructure. They are in a downturn and what little economic opportunity exists is going to be found in urban areas.

Check for the newest travel recommendation and travel warnings from the links under. The Trump administration says the travel ban is aimed toward strengthening nationwide security. Travel allows you to be identified as a travel related business with out having to dilute your organization identify and URL. Such promotions are particularly designed and created for the spring season as many individuals are tired of the work and need to take a break on this lovely season.
If you're involved in regards to the safety of your pockets on your subsequent travel adventure, think about using an alternate form of storage for your vital belongings such as your money and personal id cards. Turkey warned its citizens about travel to the United States on Saturday in response to what the foreign ministry called increasingly violent protests in opposition to President-elect Donald Trump.
It will generally be issues similar to travel plan reminders through SMS and travel insurance. It was obvious how travel and the challenges it presents might influence my self-consciousness in a constructive means. It's the season to take time offs so why not deal with yourself and your family to a comfortable, luxurious trip in style.

We say farewell to Ali and Vero tonight as they fly back to Dublin. We will not be far behind, making our way to terminal 3 early Sunday morning and our flight to Glasgow. We all went to Al Azhar Park last Monday and I think our pictures tell of a happy and relaxed family and we hope a memorable visit for Shona's brother and Vero. They browsed the Khan al Khalili bazaar that night and bargained expertly for souvenirs. On Tuesday we set off for Ras Sudr and the Moonbeach resort. It is a major windsurfing/kitesurfing location in Egypt but also a great place to relax and enjoy the sea and sun. Ali and Vero were great with the boys and they all enjoyed playing in the water using some old windsurfing boards. Cairo was very adventurous and had a couple of windsurfing lessons. He is now very keen to get further lessons. Lucas just loved the water. We returned last night tired but happily weathered. A leisurely start this morning saw us travel downtown on the Metro to the Egyptian Museum. Our family visited the Royal Mummies rooms this time round. Expensive on top of the entrance fee but well worth it. Popped in to King Tuts room just to make sure his treasure was still there. Incredible museum that still leaves you speechless even after half a dozen visits. A memorable last weekend.
I hope we will return ready for another year living in this wonderful country and brilliant city. There is still so much to see and do. Today I bought a new book written by Lesley Lababidi called, Cairo Street Stories (Exploring the City's Statues, Squares, Bridges, Gardens and Sidewalk Cafes). Have pity on my tolerant, accomodating wife and boys come August. Until then I'm sure we will meet with most of you in the next seven weeks. We will be back here before we know it. Enjoy the summer folks.

Intelligent Calumet Heights Personal Injury Lawyers
You Can Probably Stay out of Court
At Malman Law, over 95 percent of our clients receive out-of-court settlements rather than trial judgments. If push comes to shove, however, our proven and winning Calumet Heights personal injury lawyers are ready to duke it out in court. Ironically, it is our stellar courtroom track record that tends to keep our clients out of court! Insurance companies and corporate legal departments know us, and they don't want to face us in court. We don't blame them.
Be Careful – Insurance Companies Can Be Downright Sneaky
Although Illinois law prohibits insurance companies from engaging in bad-faith bargaining, they will seize upon any loophole to minimize their payout. They are businesses, their purpose is to make a profit, and they don't profit from paying claims. Following are some of their most common tricks:
- Monitoring your social media accounts (and your friends' accounts) for evidence that your injury isn't as serious as you are claiming
- Asking you to record an interview about the accident and then asking you trick questions during the interview
- Asking you to release your entire medical history
- Delaying your claim until the statute of limitations deadline expires
- Talking you out of retaining a personal injury lawyer
Unfortunately, insurance companies have hundreds more tricks like this up their sleeves. Discussing your case with our highly experienced Calumet Heights personal injury lawyers will help you avoid these tricks.
"If anyone has a problem and is in need of help call Malman Law. At Malman Law you are not just a client, you are part of the family." – Donyell G

- Report your injury as work-related when you seek treatment
- Follow your doctor's instructions to the letter
- Keep your employer updated on the progress of your recovery
- Keep in contact with your workers' compensation insurance representative
What are some possible complications of a hip injury caused by a slip and fall accident?
Some of the most common complications include:
- Weakened bones and joints, making further hip injuries more likely
- Reduced mobility, potentially leading to blood clots
- Reduced independence, requiring outside care to perform daily life functions such as bathing
Due to the fact that bones become brittle with age, elderly people are particularly susceptible to complications from a hip injury.

An aviation classic – the Hawker Hurricane
Thought for the day…"I haven't failed. I just found 10 000 ways that won't work" Thomas Edison.
"Turn your face to the sun and the shadow falls behind you".
Wanaka, New Zealand hosts the Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow every two years, and was at one time, also home to a number of Warbirds, such as this Hawker Hurricane. This particular aircraft had an interesting history, having flown in 1940 and crashed in Preswick, Scotland, then after a rebuild was damaged several more times before being transferred to the Soviet Air Force in 1941. It crashed again near Murmansk, Russia in 1943 and was recovered around 1990 and partly rebuilt in the UK from 1992 to 1995. It was fully restored in Wanaka and flew again from Christchurch, NZ in January 2000. It was later sold to a French owner based in Cannes. The photo was taken in Wanaka about 2010 prior to the sale to the new owner.
And a photo from Oslo harbour in Norway. The DFDS ferry travels overnight down to Copenhagen, Denmark. Unfortunately, journey times have been increased now and prices onboard are very high, making it much less attractive than previously, especially when the highway down through Sweden is a fast alternative. Why management wanted to slow the trip down is a mystery, as the boat is now much slower and leaves both cities too early to be much use to business travellers or people wanting a full day trip.
The Far North of Norway
Thought for the day…"Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be."
"We all have ability. The difference is how we use it."
Two more photos from the far north of Norway (70 degrees north). At this time of year, there is 24 hours of daylight, as the sun never goes below the horizon. Whilst the Norwegians may get excited about having 24 hours of daylight, it is not in fact very useful, because you still have to sleep. And the other side of the coin is that in winter it has 24 hours of darkness (the so-called 'eternal night') so it must be extremely depressing then. Seen here in the photo is one of the many cruise ships which visit at this time of year, this one the 'Mein Schiff' from TUI Cruises. Built in Finland at a cost of some 360 million euros, it carries around 2500 passengers, so is much smaller than the 6000+ passenger ships that cruise the Caribbean. Seen here in Honningsvag, Finnmark, Norway.
and another photo….Mehamn in the far north of Norway
Buying decisions….to buy or not to buy, that is the question
Thought for the day…"A goal without a plan is just a wish"
"Success with a negative attitude is called Luck. Success with a positive attitude is called Achievement".
To buy, or not to buy. That is the question. Having recently upgraded the camera to the newer Fuji X-T10 (great camera, and highly recommended), the finger is now poised over the 'BUY' button. This time it is the new Fuji XF 100-400mm lens. All the reviews have been great, and the people that have posted their comments praise the lens, so it is undoubtedly a wonderful lens. I gave the lens a try in the camera shop, and it felt very good, and the extra zoom would be very welcome BUT here is the problem….the lens costs about 3 times as much as the camera did, and with the teleconverter, will cost around 2000 euros. So the finger is hesitating on the 'BUY' button. Quality always costs more, and the Fuji products are great, but the thought of almost 2000 euros on a lens is difficult to accept. To buy, or not to buy, that is the question…..
A couple of photos from the north of Norway, taken with the standard 18-55mm Fuji lens on the X-T10. The first photo is from the small town of Vardo, at the top of Norway.
and another photo from north Norway…Hammerfest
Why I am glad that I am not 16 years old again
Thought for the day…"Always remember to take your vitamins. Take Vitamin A for ACTION, take vitamin B for BELIEF, take vitamin C for CONFIDENCE, take vitamin D for DISCIPLINE, and take vitamin E for ENTHUSIASM"
Just had another birthday, and once again, I thought how glad that I am NOT 16 years old again. Recently I went to a Countdown supermarket and was forced to use the self-service checkouts (normally I avoid them) as there were no staff working the 'manned' check-outs. Whilst self-service check-outs might be profitable for the supermarket shareholders, the problem is that they are doing many people out of jobs. The same thing has happened at airports (= less check-in staff working on the desks) and hotels which increasingly have automatic check in (= less receptionists). Cruise ships are introducing robotic barmen capable of mixing and serving drinks (= less bar staff), petrol stations are increasingly becoming automatic (=less cashiers). The list goes on, meaning less and less jobs. All very good for shareholders, but not so good for the school leavers who are looking for jobs. Often in supermarkets they try and steer me towards the self-service checkouts, but I try and choose a manned check-out. One day, the trend might go the other way, when somebody realizes that the PERSONAL touch means so much. Keep people employed !!
Great, punchy colours from the Fuji camera for the photo today….a colourful market scene……
and another photo from the archives…a cruise ship visits Dubronik, Croatia….
Lofoten Islands & Hurtigruten boats.
Thought for the day…." When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not with your brain" (Mark Twain).
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work" (Thomas Edison).
Two photos from the Lofoten Islands in artic Norway…both with the Hurtigruten ships in them. One of these boats leaves Bergen every day of the year for the 5.5 day journey up the coast all the way to Kirkenes, near the Russian border. Lofoten Islands are about half way up Norway, at about 67 degrees north (so north of the Artic circle). Fishing has been important here for over 1000 years, now tourism is also important during the very short summer season. The islands have the midnight sun from 25th May until 17th July. In the photos, the Hurtigruten boat ms Trollfjord passes another Hurtigruten boat, ms Finnmarken. Fuji X-E1 camera again, and the 18-55mm kit lens, a great combination. As others have said, the Fuji X-E1 camera makes you want to take photos again.

Plastic or Paper? No choice in Rwanda.
Thought for the day…"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."
" Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
It is estimated that at least 1 TRILLION plastic bags are used each year, and that China alone uses more than 3 billion everyday (3 per person). If you consider that it takes around 1000 years for a non-biodegradeable bag to completely disappear, then it is bad news for the environment. The bad news goes further, many of these bags end up in the sea, creating even more problems. One big surprise (but a good one) is that Rwanda banned plastic bags completely, no manufacturing, importing or selling of plastic bags. And the results of this are VERY easy to see when you travel around the country. The Rwandans decided that charging for plastic bags in shops was not an option, as the bags would still be dumped around the countryside, so there would still be a problem. Medical use is one of the few exceptions in Rwanda. The results of the plastic bag ban are very clear to see when you visit the country, is is surprisingly clean. Rwanda also has a monthly community cleaning morning, called "Umuganda". This is compulsory for every citizen aged between 18 and 65 who is able to work. On the last Saturday of every month, citizens carry out public works to clean and tidy the country. Things like cutting hedges, mowing grass and clearing paths to keep the country clean and tidy. Tourists often are surprised that Rwanda is so clean, and the frequently-heard comment is that Kigali is the cleanest capital that they have been in. Some other cities around the world are following this idea of banning plastic bags, but the Rwandans have shown that it can be done and that it works. Full marks to them !!!

Airline etiquette or bad behavior.
Thought for the day…." Follow your heart, but take your brain with you".
"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines".
There cannot be many people in the western world who have not flown, so I assume that most people know the etiquette of flying. Even if they do not, then common sense and good manners is enough. But recently I experienced the worst passengers that I have ever had the misfortune to sit next to (and misfortune was the word.). Bad enough that there were 300+ passengers on the aircraft, but what are the odds of ending up sitting next to the worst passengers possible??? These two passengers had a screaming baby, bad enough on any flight but on an 11 hour night flight then obviously VERY unpopular with a lot of passengers. Not only that, but the parents wanted to get up out of their seats. Not just a few times, but an excessive number of times. Even when the meal was served, they decided that they wanted to get out (same thing at breakfast too, trays down and the food there, but they still wanted to get out immediately). The man on my left seemed to be unaware that he did not have a god-given right to put his legs and feet into my leg rest. When I was not fast enough at moving to let them out, they simply climbed over me, regardless of whether I was getting up to let them out or not. 11 hours sitting next to the worst ever passengers. I wish that I had taken a photo of them, not just to shame them but to warn others that this couple had a gold medal in inconsideration. And even on arrival, the man decided that he wanted to be first off the aircraft and was going to try to push past everybody else like a rugby scrum. I hope that these two particular passengers end up on a no-fly list due to their total lack of consideration.
On a happier note….a photo of the Interislander ferry sailing up the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand. The route through the sounds, which takes about 1 hour, is extremely scenic. During the winter months, the 3 hour crossing between the North and South Islands of New Zealand can be extremely rough in the middle section, so passengers will be relieved once they enter the sheltered waters of the Sounds. The ferry is seen near its final destination of Picton, top of the South Island, New Zealand
and another photo from the archives….a Malawian boy……

Helsinki duo – Two from Helsinki, Finland
Thought for the day…" The difference between genius and stupidity is…..genius has limits"
" The secret of getting ahead is getting started (Mark Twain).
Two photos today from Helsinki, capital of Finland. Helsinki is one of those cities that you have to discover, for there is a lot that is not obvious on arrival. For one thing, Finland is number one on the world for coffee consumption per capita, and the coffee is good, strong and available everywhere. (Try 'The Roastery' on Alexanderkatu for some really good coffee). And to go with the great coffee….some Fazer chocolate (although Karl Fazer was actually originally from Germany). It is also the only city in Finland to have trams and a subway (metro) and is said to have the world's most northerly metro station. The language is horribly difficult for a foreigner, in winter is is very cold (-25 is not uncommon) and also dark for most of the day, but to make up for this there are some excellent sports facilities, wonderful architecture, good eating places, and the feeling that you have left Europe behind and have crossed into Russia (like when you see the Russian Orthodox churches in Helsinki, with their onion domes). Indeed, parts of Helsinki look so much like Russia that Helsinki used to be used instead of Russia when making films (such as 'Gorky Park') until the city council decided that it was not a good idea and stopped promoting it. And if you explore the indoor markets, then you may find things like bear meat for sale as well as the more common reindeer and moose meat. But perhaps give another tradional (but popular) Finnish sweet, salty liquorice, a miss. The city has about 53% women (versus 47% men), and after Reykjavik, Iceland, is the world's most northerly capital city. More trivia….it was the first country in the world to give women the vote and also the first country to make broadband a legal right for citizens.
and another photo out of the archives….taken just a couple of hundred metres from the previous photo, but months apart….a new photo converted into Black & White, then converted into Sepia to give it the old-fashioned look.

Color Magic inside – Not the Quality Spa Resort Hotel, Norefjell.
Thought for the day…." Today is tomorrow's yesterday, so make it count !"
" Time is the longest distance between two places".
Some magic for the photo today, and the interior of the Colorline 'Color Magic' ferry, which sails between Oslo (Norway) and Kiel (Germany) in around 20 hours. The ferry is Norwegian registered, and is the largest ferry in the world, weighing in at 75 156 tons and carrying 2700 passengers. It has 15 decks, and a long promenade, as pictured below. The 223m long ferry was built in Finland (as many of them are) and has a top speed of about 41kmh/25mph. It can carry about 550 cars. Although it is the world's largest ferry, it is still small when compared to the world's largest cruise ship, the Allure of the Seas, which weighs in at 225 000 tons, and is capable of carrying over 6290 passengers.
Not easy to get the white balance correct in this photo, as there were so many different lighting sources, but the Panasonic camera has done a good job to balance them all out. The photo was handheld and without flash.

Environmentally UNfriendly, no common sense – Not the Quality Spa Resort Hotel, Norefjell.
Thought for the day…." Taxes could be worse. Suppose we had to pay what we think we are worth"
" The greater the struggle, the greater the victory". " It does not have to glitter to be gold"
An amazingly stupid story on the TV news last night about Fjordline, which runs ferries between Hirtshals (Denmark) and Stavanger and Bergen (Norway). They have recently taken delivery of a new LNG (gas) powered ferry. The new ferry had already won a prize for energy efficiency and with stricter controls on ferry emissions, then LNG was seen as the way to go. BUT having just started, Fjordline now have a big problem. Norwegian law does not allow them to refuel the gas with passengers onboard, and the ship is only in port for a short time. So, after all the hype about saving the environment and energy efficiency, they are now sending 10 trucks by road each week, from Stavanger, Norway, via Sweden, then across to Denmark, to refuel there. The distance that the trucks have to drive is around 1600km, leaving from almost the same place as the ferry (Stavanger) and then driving 1600km to meet it in Denmark, where the ships refuels with LNG and sails back to Norway, where the gas came from in the first place. Very environmnentally UNfriendly. And also rather stupid.
So, staying on the subject of boats, here is a colourful photo of some fishing boats in Africa. Good light and bright colours make this photo.

LTC/USD Chart
Crypto Education
Cryptocurrency scams: 10 ways to identify scam coins|
The fast-moving world of cryptocurrencies allows quite a few opportunities for traders. New cryptocurrencies and tokens often rise at a rapid clip
5 most predictable cryptocurrencies|
The prices of cryptocurrencies change quite rapidly and can be wild. With high attention and trading volumes, patterns are emerging
"The Crypto system is the largest arms race in decades" - Steven Hatzakis|
Today we open a new series of interviews with some of the most followed traders of the crypto community. We'll start with Steven Hatzakis
Characteristics of Litecoin
Litecoin is an open-source cryptocurrency created on October 7, 2011. It emerged as an alternative to Bitcoin, improving some of its basic characteristics:
- First, it has a greater speed in the verification and processing of its blocks, which are carried out in 2.5 minutes while the time required by the Bitcoin is 10 minutes.
- Second, the Bitcoin will reach its total volume in 2140, when it will have a total of 21 million units. The Litecoin will have a maximum of 84 million units.
- Third, the Litecoin has a function that simplifies and reduces the energy necessary to perform the mining of the cryptocurrency called Scrypt proof of work.
Among the main similarities between Litecoin and Bitcoin::
- Both are based on the blockchain
- It allows a mining process
- The division of the main unit of both Litecoin and Bitcoin is 8 decimals.
- The difficulty of mining Bitcoin and Litecoin increases every 2016 blocks.
- Both use the Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm
What is the Difference Between Litecoin and Bitcoin?
In addition to the aforementioned differences between Litecoin and Bitcoin, it is vital to note that mining differs between both cryptocurrencies. The central change lies within the algorithms. Litecoin uses crypt while Bitcoin's algorithm is based on SHA-256. The S-crypt algorithm makes extracting Litecoin far faster in generating a block: a mere 2.5 minutes against 10 minutes for Bitcoin.
The rapid mining clip results in enhanced security: being four times faster makes Litecoin more secure. Likewise, mining Litecoin entails an additional benefit. As Litecoin miners are grouped in mining pools, the compensation for the effort is attributed to all participants and there is a diminished probability of mining efforts resulting in no compensation. This feature has attracted miners to LTC, which has the second-highest mining volume behind Bitcoin.
How to buy Litecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple
Trading cryptocurrencies does not have to be a tiresome and obscure process once you know what to do and what to expect. Below is a quick round up of key takeaways. How to buy and trade cryptocurrency in four easy steps:
- Step one. Choose your coin. If you are new to cryptocurrencies, start with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin or other large and established currencies. They are more liquid and less volatile.
- Step two. Create your wallet. The easiest way to do this is to register with an online service. Don't forget, that wallets are currency specific. It means that they can send and receive only compatible coins and tokens. If you prefer pure trading and not owning cryptos, you can skip this step.
- Step three. Buy some crypto coins with P2P trading platforms or visit cryptocurrency exchange that supports buying crypto for fiat money. You will need to provide details to register with the exchanges. Some of them will have you link your bank account or credit card to pay for your Bitcoins. If you prefer only trading and not owning cryptos, you can skip this stage.
- Step four. Open an account with a cryptocurrency trading exchange with good liquidity and a full range of tradable cryptocurrency pairs or with a forex broker. Some exchanges and brokers will ask you to verify your identity and enable two-step authentication for better protection. Step five. Develop a solid trading strategy and exercise strict self-discipline to avoid hasty trading decisions. Educate yourself on trading fundamentals and trading psychology issues - they all apply to cryptocurrency markets.

Cinema Bandit is devoted to supplying young and new filmmakers with resources, articles, and interviews to help artists develop themselves creatively and professionally.
Ever wonder when you are watching a film or television show be made and you see someone with a giant board going in front of the camera and screaming "ACTION!" To the non-filmmakers and to the ones that are just getting interested in film, the word that you are looking for is a slate. Or clapperboard. Or clapper. It has a lot of names, actually.
The slate is used in filmmaking to assist in synchronizing picture and sound, and to designate and mark the various scenes and takes as they are filmed and audio-recorded.
The slate has been essential to filmmaking since the earliest days of sound film. Visual and audio tracks were recorded on separate media by separate equipment, and are still recorded separately to this day, unless one records with the mic and the camera.
The slate was invented by F. W. Thring, an Australian film director, and producer. It is disputed as to when the clapper was first used in a film, with some saying as early as the year 1906.
Here is how the slate works. The slate displays the name of the production, the scene and take about to be performed, and similar information such as the director's name, the date, the name of the DP (director of photography), and whether the shot is taking place during the day or night, and whether it is filmed indoors or outdoors.
Some portions of the slate are different around the world. The American slate consists of the scene information with the scene number, camera angle, and take amount; e.g., Scene 24, C, Take 3. The European slate will have the scene number and take amount with the letter of the camera shooting the slate if using a multiple-camera setup; e.g., Slate 256, Take 3C.
Usually, its that Assistant Camera, or AC for short, that will hold the slate so that it is in view of the camera. They will then speak out the information for the benefit of the audio recording, then opens the clapstick and claps it shut. The shutting of the clapstick is easily identified on the visual track, and the sharp clap noise is easily detected on the separate audio track. If the clapstick is soft or doesn't hit loud enough, the AC states "second sticks" and then claps it again.
The two records can be synchronized by matching the sound and movement. Since each take is identified on both the visual and audio tracks, segments of the film are easily paired with portions of audio.
Early clapboards were built from wooden chalkboards with hinged clapsticks mounted to the top. The clapboard only contained three sources of information: the location, the scene, and the take. Today's clapboard is the white acrylic types with much more information on it. Productions with larger budgets used a digital clapper like the ones seen below.
There are also other ways to identify your shot. A voice slate, the verbal identification of the numbers, occurs after the sound has reached speed. At that time the camera will start running, and the clapperboard is then filmed briefly at the start of the take, and the clapsticks are clapped sharply as soon as the camera has reached sync speed.
Often, instead of preparing an original slate, a voice slate will be identified by the actor in the scene who will announce the information and then clap their hands together to provide the synchronization mark.
Sometimes a tail slate, or end slate, is filmed at the end of a take during which the clapperboard is held upside down. This is done when the slate was not captured at the beginning of the catch due to the camera being shot in such a way that the board cannot be captured.
Clapperboards are used to identify all takes of production, even when you don't need synchronization. This is important during MOS shots, or motor only shots where no audio is synchronized. When a slate is used to mark a MOS take, the slate is held half open with the hands blocking the sticks or closed with the hands over the sticks.
With all of this info about clapperboards, you're probably thinking of obtaining one of your own to practice for your filmmaking. While looking up slates, I found that prices for them are reasonable! You can purchase slates off of Amazon for about $14 or Vistaprint for $2! If you want an actual high-tech slate, B&H Photo and Video have slates that range from $30 to almost $300.
Remember that you don't have to break the bank when marking your film. Write the information down on a notecard and clap in front of the camera. That's what director Sean Baker has done for his ultra low-budget films.
See how the slate works by watching this video:
I hope that this article will help answer the question of "why is this man screaming action all of the time during filming?"

British maternity brands and retailers are looking to the US for expansion opportunities, as challenges in the UK market continue.
Maternity and kidswear retailer Jojo Maman Bébé is negotiating on its fifth store in the US after opening its first four – two in Connecticut and two in New Jersey – over the past six months.
Jojo maman bébé mustard frill jumper aw18
"We started to open stores in the US following the Brexit vote and [fall in value] of the pound," founder Laura Tenison told Drapers, adding that the stores are having a halo effect on online sales. It launched a US website in 2016 and has been wholesaling there for six years.
The retailer has put plans to expand in Ireland on hold because of Brexit uncertainty. Jojo Maman Bébé has stores in Cork and Dublin, as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland, and had intended to open six more.
Meanwhile, British maternity occasionwear and bridal brand Tiffany Rose launched online with US department store chain Neiman Marcus this week.
The brand said 80% of its sales are now international, 60% of which come from Europe, but added that it is "seeing huge growth in the US", where it has had a localised website since 2012.
It has been stocked by Nordstrom online since January and is in a handful of independents such as Mom's the Word, which has shops in Los Angeles, Palo Alto and San Francisco.
"The US is our single biggest retail market outside of the UK," said founder Tiffany London.
Away from the US, Tiffany Rose has been stocked on Asian etailer Zolora since August, and plans to launch in Spain by the end of 2019.
The brand has also started exploring opportunities in China and plans to expand in Japan following its launch in Japanese department store Isetan in January.

Chapter 57: Marching Over Unhindered
Translator: Mike Editor: Chrissy
At the hilltops in the distance, the pitch-black gun muzzles suddenly shot up long tongues of radiant fire. The sheer power of the guns poured down at the hilltop at which Chu Feng stood.
Chu Feng leaped into the air then thrust himself off the precipitous cliff like a roc to the foot of the hill. Gale raged by his ears as he rapidly descended in air.
At the hilltop, another half a dozen of shells plummeted on the earth. Blazing fire soon ensured as the wretched trees were ignited. The booming explosive sound trembled the Mountain of White Snake. The earth shook and the mountains moved. Rocks and pebbles were all pulverized and shattered. The scene was truly a horrid one.
The sheer firepower that the shells delivered startled every mutant on the scene. Raining down shells like these would crush any mutants in no time.
Waves of heat billowed between the hills in the valley. Acres of ancient trees had been snapped in half at the hilltop while other vegetation was reduced to sheer ashes. The entire hilltop had been quelled by the shells. Even the rocks had started melting away!
The scene struck terror into people's hearts. There was no more hilltop at the top the hill; instead, only patches of burnt mark and ashes prevailed.
Had Chu Feng delayed his retreat, the consequences would have been too dreadful to even contemplate.
He had to marvel at the fact that in this post-civilization era, the power that the tycoons held in their clutches was utterly astonishing. Even the government's military was beaten hands down at the sheer firepower the company possessed.
In the post-civilization era, when the new-world order was reshuffled and re-established, the tycoons contributed a great deal to the process. They were part of a team of referees who made the rules for the world.
During all these years that had passed, these companies had always stayed relatively low-key and out of the public's eyes. Who would have thought that when the time came, they could exert such a terrifying horror to the world?
Chu Feng dove into the forest below the devastated hill. Behind him, shells were still being fired at the blackened hilltop. Pebbles and rocks along with distilled dust churned and rolled about in the sky. The whole hill had become a section shorter than before.
A flinging rock plummeted to the earth, but it fell right on the body of Yellow Ox. The calf bellowed and squirmed in pain. It was not because the calf's reaction was fast enough, but it was due to the leather clothes wrapping around its body which constrained its upright movement.
Yellow Ox tottered and staggered. It almost stumbled and fell flat on its face. Thanks to its thick-skinned body, the calf stayed relatively unscathed. If an eight-hundred jin boulder were to tamp on an ordinary person, there would have sure enough been a few broken bones and snapped tendons by now.
Even so, Yellow Ox still flew into a rage. The calf groaned and moaned. Its bellow was low and deep, and its eyes were exuded a brilliant pair of golden rays. Its eyes were fixated on the hilltops in the distance.
"Go take care of those rocket launchers!" Chu Feng said.
He reckoned that Yellow Ox would not bear the trauma that was inflicted by those people. He believed that the calf would ram into those pitch-black gun muzzles and make those who fired them suffer.
At the same time, Chu Feng committed to action as well. He darted to the other side of the battleground. He was looking for Mu to settle all accounts with him. When the dispute and conflict had gone so out-of-hand, who would have cared if their target of assassin was one of the top executives of Deity?
Being directed against was already an insufferable experience for Chu Feng, but when the opponent was someone who would only be satisfied with nothing but Chu Feng's death, he would be as good as dead in Chu Feng's book regardless of who he was!
Chu Feng was overwhelmingly fast. So far, a hundred-meter sprint would only take him one point of a second. When he started running with big strides, in the eyes of others, it seemed as if he were long jumping.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
As he ran, innumerable bullets rained on his path. The bullets came in torrent, piercing through the air around him. Bullets continued to pour down, cutting many trees in half. Along with the unending torrents of fire, there were also the ear-splitting sound of cracking as giant ancient trees tumbled and fell.
The bullets were so thick and dense!
There were shells homing down as well, exploding in the heavily timbered jungles, causing the blazing fire to become fiercer in the area. The terrifying temperature melted the rocks and burned the earth.
What struck the crowd as shocking was that not a single bullet had hit Chu Feng. He was constantly altering his path, so he could always dodge the incoming bullets before they could hit on him.
Meanwhile, the tongues of fire jetted out from those high-caliber guns were like an incompetent dog chasing for its master.
Most of the mutants was taken aback by the scene presented in front of their eyes. The scene was both unusual and astounding. At the same time, some were even frightened by Chu Feng's speed and power, while others were envious of his ability to constantly dodge bullets. The crowd of onlookers all had a mixed feeling within them.
This ability was something they longed for so much that they even dreamt about it. In the days to come, this ability is a must for one to survive the brutal world out there; however, to their envious astonishment, this man had already achieved that level.
Chu Feng was swift in motion. It took him only a single stride and a leap before he was found hundreds of meters away from where he stood at the last second. His speed was terrifying.
Across the battlefield, Chu Feng's swiftly moving body was like a glint of light skimming over the ground. With his superhuman ability to evade danger, Chu Feng walked easily under the enemy's heavy fire.
The crowd was petrified. Was he still human? How did he achieve this?
Lin Naoi was visibly moved. She knew that they had courted great trouble. During the fight against the men from Bodhi Genes, they should not have provoked such a super master fighter in the first place.
Mu's complexion had changed. He silently admitted that he had underestimated him. He now realized that this master was fiercer than he thought. He was an extremely dangerous figure indeed.
"We must kill him! Concentrate the fire on him and fire at will!" Mu spoke between clenched teeth.
His eyes were cold. Since the master had already been provoked, why not eradicate the source of trouble and remove the cause of future problems all together? If they did not have the tumor removed now, he was afraid there would be all hell to play tomorrow.
He was a decisive person. Once a decision was made, he would immediately put it in practice.
The sound of explosion became even more startling now. Even if Chu Feng had hidden himself in the dense jungle as he weaved his way through the exuberating vegetation from hills to hills, the enemy's strafing fire was still tailing after him.
If this were to happen to another person, he would have long been turned to a gory muddy mixture of minced flesh and spoiled blood.
"Director! That man is so fierce! Is he still a human? He's not even afraid of the bullets. The shells dealt no damage to him either! He can't be a human! He's a land-trotting god!"
Someone from the crowd marvelled at Chu Feng's ability. He was even a little dumbfounded.
"Stop standing there in a daze! Start filming! Remember to shoot from all directions! Don't even miss out on a single shot!" Zhou Yitian roared and raged. His eyes had both turned scarlet red. He was anxious, and he was hot with emotion too!
In his eyes, Angel Ox was the fiercest fighter he had ever seen. He was not afraid of this downpour of bullets or the terrifying shells. Despite the scurrying paces at which he ran, nothing seemed to be worrying to him at all.
Zhou Yitian revelled in the abundancy of materials he could shoot here.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
Chu Feng occasionally delivered a few counter blows against the aggressors. The high-caliber cannon-like guns were wavered in his hand. Chu Feng was in perfect command of the guns in hand. Every bullet he fired would always claim the life of someone from Deity.
"God bless me! He is the perfect prototype of the hero in my film. He is the Demon Ox I've always been looking for! Quickly! Film him! Film him!" Zhou Yitian roared and bellowed.
"Take it easy, boss. We've filmed everything. The equipment we've brought this time was all very advanced. Even though the action was taking place far away from us, I've made sure every shot is made to a satisfactory level!" said someone who was equally excited.
"Good! Good!" Zhou Yitian clenched his fist in an overjoyed manner.
The others, however, viewed this filming crew in quite a different light. The bizarre look on their face reflected their troubled understanding of the purpose of this crew. Were they tired of living their lives? Or were they just a batch of lunatics?
In spite of the expression in the eyes of others, Zhou Yitian still went on and did things in his own way. There were a few times where he and his crew almost died in their shooting, but Zhou Yitian was still yelling and screaming, deliriously chasing after the scene to film the actions.
Moments later, artillery fire ceased.
Because at the top of the hill where shots were being fired, there stood an "ox man" whose horns were glittering with a golden luster. The "ox man" began to butcher in large numbers. He killed the shooters then smacked his "hands" on the cannon. In the end, all the cannon muzzles had been slapped into an awry shape; some even snapped in the middle.
"Oh, my god! Is that even a human? He has the power of a devil! Did you see that? He single-handed snapped that cannon barrel! Un-f*cking-believable!"
"That is Angel Ox's brother, Demon Ox. Oh, what a perfect name for him! Demonic and strong! Look at him! He is single-handedly pushing back the whole wave of shooters!"
At the hilltop where the merciless killing took place, recurrent screams of terror rose one after another. Even as mutants, the crowd of onlookers still felt numb on their scalp. They still could not believe that such an odd-looking lad could prove to be such a devastating force to the enemy.
In the distance, gunfire also ceased.
Only moments had passed, but tremendous loss had been inflicted. The fierce exchange of fire did not even leave a mark on Chu Feng's white shirt; on the contrary, the lives of many elite soldiers had been claimed as a consequence of the battle.
The loss was considerable. It had been originally planned that the firearms would be used as a deterrence for the thousands of mutants down below. They tried to terrorize with their military force so that the mutants would not dare to blatantly and flagrantly contend for the pine cones with them.
But now, as dozens of snipers had been single-handedly terminated by a man, the situation had proven to be rather distressing for Deity.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Shadows of human figures suddenly whizzed by. It was a team of mutants affiliated to the family of Mu. They were under the command of Mu. This team of powerful mutants had joined forces to crack down on the crime Chu Feng had committed.
There was a total of sixteen mutants. Everyone was a master in this team, and everyone had their own unique extraordinary skill. They were some of the world's most powerful mutants.
At the same time, as they started forming their encirclement around Chu Feng, each had extracted from their allocated baggage a thumb-sized bottle. There was a blue substance flowing within them. Without demur, all swallowed whole each of their allocated bottle of blue substance.
The mutants' bodies suddenly increased in size; their constitution and their power had all been greatly augmented.
Although the other mutants were all standing far away from the scene, they were still palpitating with fear, as if they were standing toe-to-toe of the giant mutants themselves.
The sixteen mutants all had had their constitutions a tenfold enhancement. This was a truly awe-inspiring improvement. If any of them were to jump into the crowd of the unobservant mutants down below, a batch of them would be crushed and pulverized.
This joint force of this team of mutants had the power that would dominate anyone in fight; but after the tenfold increment in their power all at once, they were now no more than a horde of monsters who would forever be invincible in a fight!
"Kill him! I don't care what his past is. Just kill him! Kill him!" Mu was now a grim-faced sullen man whose heart was burning with flames.
Today, it was him who made the wrong strategic decision. He only wanted justice on Lin Yeyu's behalf to display his high sense of responsibility in front of Lin Naoi, but this time, he had outsmarted himself.
Because of his order, lives of many soldiers were wasted. The power of their firearms was also squandered and thrown away. Now, people started to regard them as nothing but sheer junk. The intended effect of the guns all lavishly frittered away. Deity was supposed to be a dignified and awe-inspiring name, but he had single-handedly all wasted it away.
Suddenly, a blaring roar trembled the Mountains of White Snake. Many of the mutants felt dizzy and off-balance, and some were even reeling and staggering. The world had utterly blackened out before their eyes, and they almost tumbled and lost their consciousness.
Sand was flying and pebbles were rolling by the side of Chu Feng. The lush vegetation was all shattered and crushed by the sound wave. As the sound waves started to spread across the valley, the sixteen mutants all began to cry an unearthly cry. They bled from their mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears. Then, this team of super mutants all tumbled and fell as they clutched to their skull in agony.
The situation was the same as it was last time. Mu wanted to deal with him with the same method, but he had never dreamed about the fact that this was like delivering a crushing victory right to Chu Feng's lap.
"God! What's happening?!" The mutants all stood in shock.
The sixteen mutants, on the other hand, despite having only minutes of swaggering around in their augmented power, were now all rolling in profound agony on the ground.
Chu Feng looked indifferent and cold-hearted. He held the black dagger in hand. The cold-blooded man did not care to whom these giant mutants were affiliated to or of what importance they were to the nation's biggest tycoon, Deity. No-one survived the cutting blade of his dagger. Everyone died a miserable death.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
In the twinkling of an eye, Chu Feng's wavering dagger made the heads of all sixteen mutants roll on the earth. The whole team had been decimated. No-one survived.
At the summit of the mountain in the distance, Mu's eyes had turned furious. However collected and restrained he had normally proven to be, he could not accept the reality he had just witnessed. He started groaning and moaning like a furious beast.
The killed mutants were all affiliated to the family of Mu. They were his family assets, and they were all at his beck and call. However, their lives were all wasted at the beat of a heart; the entire team had been decimated!
He had lost a team of mutants last time, and now there was another. Most importantly, both teams of his lost soldiers were easily beaten. It only took a single man seconds before they were all slain and killed.
Mu's eyes were congested with blood. His mind had been filled with hatred.
The drug had a fatal flaw!
But by the time he realized it, it had already been too late.
Chu Feng was a man with a heart of stone. In front of thousands of other mutants, he killed all the mutants who were affiliated with the family of Mu without a break. One had to admit that Chu Feng was indeed a strong-willed and valiant man.
"Did you… did you capture that?" Zhou Yitian asked. He quivered and trembled as his lips shivered in excitement.
"Yes, director. We've got them all on camera!" someone replied. The men working under the director were also quivering. Some were out of fear, but many were out of astonishment and excitement.
The mutants nearby all turned to this "filming crew". The look on their faces seemed to suggest that everyone had reached a consensus that these guys were purely lunatics.
"I will kill you with my own hand!" Mu spoke between clenched teeth. He stood by the cliff. He had lost control of himself under the influence of anger; he was now man poles apart from the one he normally was.
He spoke into the intercom, then a helicopter rapidly flew over. It landed on the cliff where Mu stood, then he hopped into it!
However, there was another man who arrived at the battleground faster than he was.
A bolt of radiant silver light skimmed over the sky. It was the shadow of a man whose presence carried an air of invincibility. He dove down towards Chu Feng.
"God! It's Silver Wing! He's coming back for us!"
"Is he coming back to… save Deity's lost face?"
In mid-air, the radiant halo of that man brought an air of terror to the atmosphere of the scene. Like a silver sun, he was enveloped in an overflow of holy radiance. He had temporarily given up on Kong Kim, and he was now poised to fight with Chu Feng! 5 Best Chinese Romance Books of 2018 So Far

Police: New Tripoli woman assaulted boyfriend, firemen
A New Tripoli woman is facing multiple charges as a result of an aggravated assault case in Lynn Township.
Police said Linda Kasza, 44, ran over her boyfriend with a car, fled the scene, returned there and punched one emergency responder and bit another.
State police at the Fogelsville barracks said the incident happened at 7:02 p.m. Aug. 18 in the 6700 block of Madison Street in the township.
Police said Kasza and a 45-year-old man, also from New Tripoli, were arguing at her residence. Police said the man, to avoid conflict, walked out of the residence. Kasza got into her Honda Pilot and followed him down Madison Street, running him over with her vehicle before backing up and then speeding away from the scene.
Police said while fleeing the scene, Kasza drove through another victim's front yard, causing approximately $200 in damages.
Police said once emergency personnel arrived at the scene, Kasza returned there on foot and struck a New Tripoli Fire Department member in the back with a closed fist and biting a second fireman that attempted to restrain her.
