Alto's Vision And How The Blockchain Will Revolutionize The Game Industry
Blockchain, the technology behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, will change not only how we pay for but also how we play games.
To better understand why, we need to look at the state of games today.
Last November, Capcom released Puzzle Fighter Mobile: the social, mobile, free-to-play version of Street Fighter. People were vocal about its pay-to-win structure, and how it was too different from its skill-based predecessor. For such a strong and storied license, the game has been unable to break the Top 100 in the app store charts.
Players have become disillusioned with the Free to Play model. While it was responsible for reducing piracy and growing the audience of players, it also has a dark side — manifesting in greedy and opaque monetization systems.
Free to Play monetization strategies have also started appearing in paid games. Around the same time last year, gamers were up in arms over Star Wars Battlefront 2's loot box system. A player computed that it took 40 hours to be able to unlock Darth Vader and play as him, even in a game where people already paid more than $60 just to play the game. The resulting backlash was strong — EA's response to the controversy became the most downvoted reddit comment in history and spawned multiple memes.
Free to Play has replaced Pay to Play as the game industry's dominant monetization model, but its scorched-earth approach didn't just affect piracy.
In the process we've also lost the simplicity and honesty of a direct Pay to Play transaction.
We play games for free, but some of them lull us into a false sense of 'free'. They quietly chip away at our compulsion, making it suddenly rear its head through mind hacks such as time sensitive events and perceived sale values.
Some games turn us into walking advertisements — monetizing our data and our social connections, forcing us to send out invites to friends in return for a few virtual tokens.
Still some others force us to pay with the most fundamental currency of all — our time. They build on our human desire to complete tasks and collections, and those who are unable to pay with tokens are forced to grind away their hours playing and watching ads until the game is more work than enjoyment.
The games may be Free to Play, but in certain game ecosystems, it may actually be cheaper to pay than to play for free.
This is the state of the industry now, given how competitive the market is. With so many games vying for attention, game developers have to compete using the tools they know are effective.
The game industry is facing a growth wall though. Just this year Supercell's revenues dipped 20%, and the number of Candy Crush users have started declining. We are at a mature cycle of the industry where there's too much competition, not enough innovation and a looming saturation point for players.
We may have to look past our current models and technologies, and find a way to break our reliance on Free to Play. Ironically, one of the means of doing so may be through the use of blockchains.
For example, one of the most successful monetization strategies right now is the loot box or gacha model:
Used by top games such as Clash Royale, Fire Emblem Heroes and Overwatch, it monetizes players by first showing them items they can buy either through banner ads prominently displayed in game menus or in normal gameplay used by other players. The games are designed to build up a player's desire to buy the items until he gives in and pays for them.
There are two issues with this: Firstly, a player is usually unable to buy something directly, and usually needs to spend more than what they want to pay to do so. Some games make the chance of getting the items so low and don't publicize their loot box odds, so the player is stuck spending hundreds of dollars until he gets the item he wants.
Secondly, after the player has spent a significant amount the item that he gets from the game is essentially worthless outside of the game. It's locked in the game ecosystem, with no option for the player to take it out. This has been always the case with games, but players have always found ways to do so — usually by trading them through a third party exchange or even trading accounts in gray markets. There is clearly player demand for this though, but the prevailing idea is that it always has been beneficial to games and app store platforms to close down their ecosystems.
This idea is slowly changing though. The blockchain has enabled us to ask questions about our current systems and their decentralization, questions such as:
"Why don't we allow players to trade game items, just like it's a real item that they own?"
The invention of blockchain allowed exactly that. By storing game items on blockchains instead of centralized servers, these new cryptoitems become liquid, able to easily flow across users. They act similarly to cryptocurrencies: given the right credentials, any player can just send a cryptoitem to another player, without having the need to go through a central authority like a bank or an app store.
Since the blockchain was designed to be transparent, it also eliminates the opaqueness of loot box percentages. Transactions and source code written on the blockchain are open and verifiable, making it easy for players to verify if the developer is providing fair odds.
There were pioneers such as EverdreamSoft's Spells of Genesis that saw the potential of cryptoitems early on. Now, with the rising awareness of cryptocurrencies along with the innovations brought about by new blockchains, a new genre of cryptogames like Cryptokitties are starting to break into the mainstream.
This is just the early days of cryptoitems though. The technology and standards around crypoitems are still improving, and once it reaches a tipping point they will revolutionize both how we we pay and play for games.
We see it happening now. With Free to Play at its maturity, the economy has started to centralize around main entities: the app stores and the ad/social networks. They serve as gatekeepers, making it necessary for a player to go through them before having a direct economic connection with the player.
By using the blockchain, Cryptogame developers have been able to upend this model.
One model we see emerging is the Item First Economy. This is similar to a crowdfunding and early access campaign: the developer creates cryptoitems first, which players can purchase directly from the developer using tokens. The developer then uses the tokens generated by the item sale to fund the creation of the game world. As game development progresses, the player can use the items he bought as the entry point to play the game.
Most cryptogames like Etherbots and Ethercraft follow this model. This new model has introduced some interesting dynamics. Aside from making the game fun to play, the developer also needs to be able to prove the value of his cryptoitems — either by increasing their collectability or increasing their utility in the game. Since cryptoitems are easily tradable, the player needs to see their value or else they will just sell them and play a different game. The focus has changed from extracting payment for playing to building sustainable game economies.
This focus on economy building also has surfaced more questions on game design. Given the nature of cryptoitems and decentralization:
"What if closed game ecosystems aren't the best way to make games?"
Imagine years in the future — cryptoitems are already a standard in games, the same way that a 3D file is a standard. There are also cryptoitem specs for item types, like swords and hats.
Airship Syndicate announces their latest game, Battlechasers 2. To support the game, they also start an auction of the limited edition 'Artifact Blade' cryptoitem. It is beautifully modeled in 3D by the game's 3d artists, hosted on decentralized servers and viewable through any cryptoitem web viewer. Most of all, it follows the cryptoitem sword spec.
Warframe started supporting the cryptoitem sword spec months before, making all the swords in their game cryptoitems. This opened up their economy, creating a vibrant marketplace of weapons trading hands among players and collectors.
This also enabled new ways to get weapons into the game. By following the cryptoitem sword spec, any player who bought a cryptoitem sword like the Artifact Blade can also immediately use them in Warframe.
Warframe is not the only game that supports the spec: Blade Symphony and Raw Data do as well. Suddenly the cryptoitem we bought for an in-development game is usable across three different games.
Different games and universes, yet all having a shared cryptoitem economy. It's a scene straight out of Ready Player One.
This is Alto's vision for a blockchain connected game industry. Players have a direct economic connection to developers via the cryptoitems that they buy directly from them. Cryptoitems are stored on the blockchain, allowing players to freely trade them with each other and liquidate them. In the future, the standards around cryptoitems will make games have a decentralized yet connected economy, and possibly make them usable across game worlds.
This future isn't so far off though. We can already see glimpses of it in cryptoitem exchanges such as Rarebits and Opensea. As more and more games and items are built on blockchain the network effects will kick in, until the rolling cascade forces us to recreate our monetization models once again.
Game developers, digital creators and potentially all of us will be affected by the blockchain. At Alto, we want to enable developers to navigate this disruptive transition and find success in the new decentralized world.

The wellbeing benefits of rest and play
We all need to play. It is important at all ages and stages of life. It allows children to develop their imagination dexterity, creativity and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It enables them to explore and practice different roles and prepare for life. It's important for brain development, communication skills and promoting learning.
Through play children practice and learn new sounds and words on their own and with friends. It brings fun as we engage in play alone or with others. It teaches boundaries as we all learn when it is important to intervene and when to leave children to play.
For all of us play has many lessons and benefits - developing and practicing choice, spontaneity, balance, giving us a chance to test and expand our limits. We can explore patience and understanding as we fit into others rules and worlds. Play gives a fantastic chance to connect and build relationships with others - 2 of the most important factors in happiness and longevity.
A range of studies show that play-deprived children manifest responses on a scale ranging from unhappiness to aggression. Lack of play is correlated with psychiatric disturbances and social skills. With so much stress and the range of mental health problems in our society it is an area that is good for all of us to understand and engage in.
Play is beneficial for developing skills relating to the prefrontal cortex including impulse control and the ability to curb inappropriate action. Through free play children can become more creative and adaptable. Studies have shown that psychopathologies that result in criminality can manifest in severely play deprived children. Equally, there are wonderful stories of the role of social play contributing to the healthy development of successful, creative people.
In the book, Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life Gray describes 'what I think is the most dramatic effect of the play deficit: the increase in childhood depression, anxiety and self-control…over the past half-century'.
Play is a powerful experience for children and adults alike. As Plato says 'You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.'
It boosts connectivity, relationships, creativity, problem solving abilities and emotional wellbeing. Through engagement and bringing you into the moment it trains us how to connect and focus without attachment. Play is a focus on the act rather than the outcome - a valuable life lesson. If we can fully engage in what we are doing, enjoying the journey not just the destination, we will do it to the best of our ability, which will ultimately bring better results.
Play teaches us how to roll with the ups and downs of life. Playing helps adults maintain social wellbeing. We develop connection. This plays out in recreation and in team building exercises in corporate offices. It helps us stay sharp. Research has shown that playing games and doing puzzles can help us maintain memory and boosts our thinking skills. When we allow ourselves to be silly at times, it helps us to not take ourselves or our life too seriously which helps us laugh and bounce back from most of life's difficulties.
Play reminds us how things change and can bring excitement to life. People who play have fun in life and are fun to be around. All work and no play makes us all a whole lot duller. Wishing you and yours a play rich week, reaping some of the many benefits play has to offer. Enjoy.

Want To Offer Your Trade Service To Builders? Know What To Put In Your ProposalShare
If you are considering offering your trade services to building contractors at a lower price than you offer regular customers to get a stream of business, there are some things you'll want to do before you submit proposals to the contractors. This is great way to get a lot of work if you can connect with contractors that are building multi-home neighborhoods and developments.
You'll want to make sure that you include all of the details in your proposal. If you have never created a proposal, you may want to consider some type of business proposal software, such as Expedience Software, for assistance. Make sure that the proposal includes the following.
Material Specifics
You have to create a set list of materials you plan to use when you offer your trade service. Since the higher the quality of materials, the more they will cost, make sure that you choose a range of materials that are affordable for you to purchase, and that the buyer will want. The types of materials may need to differ in the quality and size of homes that are being constructed. The builder may tell you what they want specifically, and you'll have to alter your proposal accordingly.
Time Requirements
If the builders are putting up several houses, they will want you to do quick and efficient work. This means they'll need you in the house at very specific times, and you have to be ready. In your proposal you will want to include how long it will take you to do the projects based on size and materials used, so there is no confusion with the builder later on.
Cost Breakdown
You will want the builder to see a breakdown for the cost you are going to charge them. This will be the cost of your hourly wage, materials, rush jobs, and any other costs that are associated with your trade and the work you'll have to do in the homes. You can decide how much you want to markup your materials and what the final cost will be that you give the builders.
Getting a contract set with a building company can provide you with tons of jobs and work, even when you don't have a lot of business from your regular day to day projects. Make sure you have enough staff before setting up a proposal like this and before you commit to a large project in your area.

Avoiding a repeat of their 2017 Connacht SFC final defeat at the hands of Roscommon is foremost in Kevin Walsh's mind ahead of Sunday's eagerly anticipated Pearse Stadium clash.
The Rossies denied the Tribesmen back-to-back Nestor Cup victories on that occasion so Walsh is hoping history doesn't repeat itself this weekend
"We are reigning Connacht champions. We have to be positive in that," he pointed out to RTÉ Sport.
"We're heading for two in a row, which hasn't been done for a while in Galway. It's important and it's also the quickest route to the Super 8s.
"We feel we're in with a great chance if we perform."
Roscommon's semi-final defeat of league champions Mayo didn't come as a surprise to the two-time All-Ireland winning midfielder.
"We weren't preparing for any one team," he added. "Roscommon have been there the last four years. It was always going to be a 50-50 game. Roscommon shaded it on the day.
"There's a lot of talk about a small province but the quality of Division 1 sides in Connacht is tough and has been for the last four or five years."Tweet

Unlike so many military couples, my husband Joseph and I were married prior to him enlisting. In November 2009, almost 6 months after our wedding, with the recession and the inability to find steady full-time jobs, Joseph made the decision to speak to a recruiter about joining the Army. After three weeks of meetings, the ASVABS and MEPS he took his oath and enlisted on December 19. He shipped to basic a month later.
With my husband gone, I quite seriously read a paranormal romance book a day, and spent a lot of time at the gym losing 30 pounds during his 14 weeks at Basic and AIT (Advanced Individual Training).
At the beginning of May I flew to Missouri for his graduation from Fort Leonard Wood. He enjoyed two weeks of leave at home in Vermont with me, and then he was sent to Schofield Barracks in Hawaii where he would be stationed. I had to wait for him to finish his in-processing in order to join him. It took longer than I would have hoped and on June 13th, 2010, we celebrated our first wedding anniversary via Skype. The very next day, my heart shattered into pieces when Joseph called to tell me that he had received orders for Deployment to Iraq for a year. He would be leaving at the end of June.
Needless to say, the processing required to get me shipped out to Hawaii was put on rush, and I was flown out on June 24th where I spent 6 days with Joe before I tearfully said goodbye and watched him get on a bus headed for the Air Force Base. I knew no one, I missed my husband and my family, I was living in a hotel until housing on base became available to me, and had no idea where anything was on Oahu, or even how to navigate the Army base. I was scared and very lonely. Again, I turned to reading and gym time.
Eventually, I made a few friends and busied myself discovering the beautiful beaches and unique culture of Hawaii. Before I knew it, Joseph was coming home for R&R in December of 2010. We spent two weeks together on the beach, at restaurants, and doing Christmas shopping for family and friends. We had also made the decision to try to conceive.
After 16 days home, my husband had to return to Iraq. About two hours before we headed to the airport I took a pregnancy test, not really believing that it would be positive. But, not even two minutes after I took that test the word "Pregnant" showed up in beautiful clear digital letters. So, instead of more tears of goodbye as I sent my husband back to a war zone, I gave him a lingering kiss and hug and told him to get on that plane, finish his mission, and get home to me to help prepare for our new little one.
When I was 29 weeks pregnant with our little boy, Joseph returned home from Iraq in an incredible Welcome Home Ceremony. A celebration a person can only grasp the emotions of if they've witnessed it. As my soldier marched in and I knew he was safe, I cried more than I ever have in my life, and I thought I would burst with pride.
Joe was home to share with me most of my last trimester. On September 4th my labor was induced and Hunter Gabriel was born by emergency c-section on September 5th 2011, coincidentally Labor Day.
It's hard to believe that Hunter will be a year old in a little over two weeks. It really does go by too fast. There have been many changes and challenges this year, and the biggest change has been that this past May I took the Oath of Enlistment myself and will be shipping to Basic Training in October. I made the decision to join so that I may be able to provide the best life I can for my little boy. Joe and I have always believed that marriage is a partnership and both people should contribute what they can to make for a happy life, and that's exactly what I will be doing. I know that this means more separation from my husband and now my child while I train for six months to become a Health Care Specialist for the Army. However, I know without a doubt that this is the best thing for my family, and I will remember that when training gets tough and I feel like I want to go home. Soldiers aren't the only ones who are Army Strong. Families are.
Thank you so much for your consideration, and it was a pleasure to tell my story. I think that this contest is wonderful, and the recognition of the military is immensely appreciated. Take care.

Coloro X WGSN: How colors are forecasted
Apr 02, 2019 | By Joanne Thomas
Jul 27, 2012
This week has been CRAZY for the Active Team. Between the Olympics, Billabong's Design for Humanity Event and Launch LA, we have had our fair share of high-fives and warm Red Bull. For its inaugural show, Launch LA was a total success. A smaller, more boutique vibe insured that buyers and brands were able to connect on a very personal level. Positioned in the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica airport, the space was totally unique, with a fresh and simultaneously industrial atmosphere. As Ray Barbee jammed in the background, we wandered from booth to booth, snapping pics and talking shop with an incredible selection of directional brands including veterans in the Action Sports industry like Split and Jimmy'Z to newbies like The Break, Wellen, Broken Home, WAAR and Tallow.
We gave our S/S14 Megatrends presentation to a curious crowd, while airplane engines roared in the background. That was definitely a first for us in terms of talking trend. Thankfully, Mark from The People's Movement was on hand to capture all the action using Cinegram app, the "new new" instagram that we have been obsessing over.
Big trends on the floor included, retro graphic prints and stripes, shorter silhouettes for boardies, cool pastels and there was definitely a "made-in-America" thread running through more than a few booths.
70s-inspired denim shirtcoat – Fremont
Vertical candy-stripes – TCSS
Multi-functional Mountaineering – Topo Designs
Exploration in typography – Wellen
Updated wax prints – Tallow
Made in America – Broken Homme boots
Clever use of logo and tropical prints – Urt

Web Abstract:
This North Carolina legislation establishes guidelines for reducing exposures to pesticides, diesel fumes, mold & mildew, arsenic treated wood, and elemental mercury in the state's schools. Specifically, the legislation directs schools to do the following: 1) Adopt a recommended model Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program in order to reduce pesticide exposures. 2) Notify parents and school staff when high-hazard pesticides are to be used on school property. 3) Exempt certain low-hazard pesticide products (such as baits) from notification requirements. 4) Prohibit new uses of arsenic-treated wood on playgrounds or other areas where children are at risk of exposure. 5) Seal existing arsenic-treated wood on playgrounds and/or develop a timeline for its removal from public school property. 6) Ban the use of elemental mercury in classrooms. 7)nEstablish a school bus exhaust and no idling policy to reduce exposure to diesel fumes. 8)Follow guidelines for mold and mildew prevention when building new school facilities. The bill also directs the State Board of Education to adopt guidelines to assist schools in accomplishing each of these goals.

European Parliamentary Elections 2019. A Panel Discussion
Past Events
The high turnout rate and the loss of ground for the traditional European parties have proven that European voters want change - but eurosceptics have not achieved a general breakthrough.
For maybe the first time, voters in Europe were mobilized by European (and global) issues, rather than domestic politics. Topics as migration and climate change have drawn voters in large numbers. The result is a European Parliament in which old coalitions and alliances will have to be reconsidered. For a post-election analysis, Danube Institute has invited experts with various backgrounds:
Mark Higgie, retired Ambassador of Australia (both to Hungary and the EU)
DATE: May 28, 2019
VENUE: DANUBE INSTITUTE,1067 Budapest, Eötvös utca 24.
Please register through the RSVP link.
The discussion will be held in English.
The event will be videorecorded and the film will be put on our website. By participating, you agree to the use of your image in the film.

Commercials. Okay, I think this Volkswagen commercial was written by Paula Abdul.
We return to Sao Paulo, where Fran and Barry are saying that they've been up and down and they can't find the clue box anywhere. They claim to have been looking for half an hour. We watch them walk by it...again. They note the departing Wanda and Desiree. BJ and Tyler are also leaving. In the cab, Desiree tells Wanda to chill out. "You're getting flustered," she says, having clearly seen this a few times in her life. She tells us in an interview that her mother does have a tendency to lose it, so her job will be to keep everything focused. Eric and Jeremy, meanwhile, meet up with BJ and Tyler on the way out, and those two teams sort of leave together, followed by Dave and Lori.
Danielle and Dani get to the bridge, where they run into Fran and Barry. "We don't see it," Barry declares to them. It appears to take Danielle and Dani about ten seconds to find it once they get to the bridge, but unfortunately, Fran and Barry didn't stay with them, which is what I would have done by this point. Follow somebody else. At least you won't be left behind by yourselves. The girls decide, apparently with little discussion, to do Motorhead. I guess one of them thinks that she can...assemble a motorcycle? I don't know. They seem to be thinking they're going to be able to do it, seriously, so maybe they have secret mechanical knowledge I'm not aware of. They're surprised as they leave that Fran and Barry had so much trouble finding the clue box. Since it's...you know, right out there like that.
John and Scott, who were near the front of the pack fairly recently, are now dropping through the ranks like a rock, apparently due at least in part to their cab driver not knowing where he's going. John wants to get out and walk.
Wanda and Desiree get to the airport, but they hit the wrong entrance and have to turn around. BJ and Tyler and Eric and Jeremy think they're at the airport, but it turns out they're not.
Dave and Lori seem to be the first ones to the right entrance, so they find the little book and start looking up buildings. BJ and Tyler and Eric and Jeremy soon follow. Dave and Lori overhear that the other teams are all looking for the closest building, so they decide to avoid the crowd by looking up the second building. BJ and Tyler find the building first, but they have so much trouble finding the dispatcher they need to talk to -- and apparently they weren't so prepared as far as having read the clue -- that they wind up being outmaneuvered by Eric and Jeremy, who are officially the first to get going on the Rotorhead Detour. Dave and Lori have found the second-closest, which is Atrium V, so all these three teams are on their way.

JOLIET – Senior running backs Keenan Hailey and Nick Iannantone combined to rush for 526 yards and eight touchdowns as Joliet Catholic Academy beat Highland, 55-21, Saturday to earn a spot in the 5A semifinals.
The Hilltoppers (8-4) will host Hillcrest on Saturday. Highland finished the season 11-1.
"Our offensive game plan was just to be more physical than them and faster than them, period," said Hailey, who rushed for 318 yards on 32 carries and five touchdowns. "We had no idea [if JCA would be able to run on Highland]. We just played it out. Our first drive of running plays was successful, so we just kept on running the ball."
Hailey scored on runs of 16 yards, 57 yards, 3 yards, 4 yards and 1 yard, respectively, as the Hilltoppers ran a total of 57 running plays. JCA only ran 61 plays.
Iannantone rushed for 208 yards on 17 carries. He scored on runs of 54 yards, 59 yards and 25 yards, respectively. JCA finished with 595 yards rushing and 636 yards of total offense.
"They are two special kids," Hilltoppers' coach Jake Jaworski said. "They've kind of carried the team throughout the year. Nick and Keenan are tough and physical and fast. They kind of have a little bit of everything. Both of those guys would tell you that it all starts up front with our five offensive linemen and our wings."
The Hilltoppers led 7-0 and were driving for another score when quarterback Jordan Alvarez fumbled at the 1-yard line, and the Bulldogs recovered the football. Two plays later, Highland was at its own 35. JCA's defense held the Bulldogs and forced a punt.
JCA drove 88 yards in eight plays to take a 14-0 lead on Hailey's 16-yard touchdown run. The Bulldogs were chasing two scores the rest of the game.
Highland, which came into the game with a high-powered offense behind quarterback Jack Etter, running back Brady Feldmann and Division I receiver recruit Sam LaPorta, managed to collect 388 yards of total offense.
No sooner had the Bulldogs cut the JCA lead to 21-14 with 57 seconds to play in the second quarter, the Hilltoppers answered. JCA drove 65 yards in five plays and punched in a score with five seconds left in the first half on a Hailey 3-yard run to make it 28-14.
JCA received the second-half kickoff and drove 61 yards in eight plays. Hailey scored on a 4-yard-run to make it 35-14 with 8:16 to play in the third quarter.
"You can't play from behind against a team like this," Highland coach Jim Warnecke Jr. said. "They are going to stay in their element and do their thing. Ultimately, we weren't able to slow down their running game. You tip your hat to them. We had no answer."
JCA defensive lineman Scott Fosen led the defensive effort. He recorded four of the Hilltoppers' five sacks of Etter. JCA defensive back Jabril Williams and linebacker Fernando Chavez intercepted the Bulldogs' quarterback.
"We wanted to stop their run, their screen and just keep battling, and we did all that," Fosen said.

Air China plane forced to land after man threatens attendant with pen
A Beijing-bound Air China flight was forced to make a sudden landing in Zhengzhou city in central China on Sunday, April 15, after one of its passengers threatened a flight attendant with a fountain pen, China's civil aviation authorities (Civil Aviation Administration of China) said, Xinhua news agency reported.
The civil aviation body said in a brief statement on its website that the passenger aboard Air China Flight 1350 tried to use the pen to hold the attendant "under duress". The man was not identified, it said.
Nobody was harmed in the incident, the brief statement added.
The flight started from Changsha, the capital of South China's Hunan province at 8.40 am and was scheduled to reach Beijing around 11 am, said local reports.
But the less than two-and-half-hour journey turned longer as it made an unusual landing at Zhengzhou in Henan province in just over an hour of flight, as per a post made on Air China's official Weibo microblog, the Chinese equivalent to Twitter.
Air China said the plane made the unscheduled landing because of "public safety reasons" and that the police and civil aviation authorities were handling the case.
Authorities at Zhengzhou airport said it immediately activated emergency measures and that the airport was operational.

New coal plants bury 'Kyoto'
New greenhouse-gas emissions from China, India, and the US will swamp cuts from the Kyoto treaty.
| Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
So much for Kyoto.
The official treaty to curb greenhouse-gas emissions hasn't gone into effect yet and already three countries are planning to build nearly 850 new coal-fired plants, which would pump up to five times as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the Kyoto Protocol aims to reduce.
The magnitude of that imbalance is staggering. Environmentalists have long called the treaty a symbolic rather than practical victory in the fight against global warming. But even many of them do not appear aware of the coming tidal wave of greenhouse-gas emissions by nations not under Kyoto restrictions.
By 2012, the plants in three key countries – China, India, and the United States – are expected to emit as much as an extra 2.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide, according to a Monitor analysis of power-plant construction data. In contrast, Kyoto countries by that year are supposed to have cut their CO2 emissions by some 483 million tons.
The findings suggest that critics of the treaty, including the Bush administration, may be correct when they claim the treaty is hopelessly flawed because it doesn't limit emissions from the developing world. But they also suggest that the world is on the cusp of creating a huge new infrastructure that will pump out enormous amounts of CO2 for the next six decades.
Without strong US leadership, it's unlikely that technology to cut CO2 emissions will be ready in time for the power-plant construction boom, many say.
"If all those power plants are online by 2012, then obviously it completely cancels out any gains from Kyoto," says Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeler with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The reason for the dramatic imbalance is coal. Just a few years ago, economists and environmentalists still pictured a world shifting steadily from "dirty" coal-fired power plants to "cleaner" natural-gas turbines. But the fast-rising price of natural gas and other factors abruptly changed that picture. Now the world is facing a tidal wave of new power plants fired by coal, experts say. "China and India are building coal-fired capacity as fast as they can," says Christopher Bergesen, who tracks power plant construction for Platts, the energy publishing division of McGraw- Hill.
China is the dominant player. The country is on track to add 562 coal-fired plants – nearly half the world total of plants expected to come online in the next eight years. India could add 213such plants; the US, 72. ( See chart below.)
Altogether, those three nations are set to add up to 327,000 megawatts by 2012 – three quarters of the new capacity in the global pipeline and roughly equal to the output of today's US coal-fired generating fleet.

For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him
Text: Is. 6:1-8; Rom. 8:12-17; John 3:1-17
Today is Trinity Sunday, a day we affirm and celebrate the Triune God. Our revelations of God always comes from Him and He is the One who reveals Himself as the Holy Trinity, One God who is three persons, yet still only one God. Throughout the Scriptures reference is made to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is equal is stature to the other. Each is fully divine, that is fully God, and each one is a fully distinct person. We should not confuse the Father with the Son or the Son with the Spirit. The Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Spirit. Just because the doctrine of the Trinity is difficult to understand does not mean we should ignore it. The story is told of a theologian struggling to understand the doctrine of the Trinity as he went for a walk on the beach. Suddenly he noticed a little boy filling a hole he had made in the sand with seawater he was fetching with a seashell. He asked the boy what he was doing and his reply was 'putting the ocean into the hole'. The theologian immediately realised he had been doing the same thing trying to understand the Trinity instead of believing the truth of God's Word. The Trinity is a revelation from God and how can those who have experienced His glory doubt His words. Your purpose in life is to experience the glory of God in your life and believe in Him.
The majesty and glory of God is evident all around us. It is revealed in His creation and in the Old Testament it was visibly revealed to Moses in the burning bush and on Mount Sinai. The glory of God was present in the Holy of Holies and on special occasions as at the dedication of the Temple by Solomon. Isaiah and other Old Testament prophets and saints witnessed the glory and majesty of God. In the New Testament Christ manifested the glory of God and today believers are to manifest His glory. You cannot witness the glory of God and not His holiness. The glory of God and the holiness of God are two sides of the same coin. When Isaiah saw the glory and holiness of God he realised how wretched he and the people around him were. How can a sinful person come before a Holy God? It is only possible because God is love. John 3:16-17 declares "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him". Love met the need of Isaiah and love meets our need today.
[New] Preaching Campaign Kits
Everything you need for an extraordinary summer sermon series…
The Word of God is about God's relationship of love with man created in His own image and likeness. God is Spirit and man could only relate to Him in Spirit and in truth. Sin led to spiritual death and separation from God. Only God who is life and has life can give life to the spiritually dead and this He made possible through the new birth. God is love and He loves us with an exceedingly great love. He has gone to great lengths to deal with sin in our lives by making it possible to be born again. We must be born again.

Broad Street Run
With more than 40,000 participants, Philadelphia's iconic Broad Street Run is one of the largest timed races in the United States. Benefiting the American Cancer Society, the Run features participants running the entire 10-mile length of Broad Street, from the Northeast to the Philadelphia Navy Yard in South Philly. Clear Sound has been proud to provide audio services for this eminent event throughout its entire history. From its humble beginnings in the 1980s, to its current lottery-only registration, we've ensured that announcements and opening festivities are heard at both the start line, and the warm-up area in nearby Central High School's Athletic Field.
When Hatboro-Horsham School District needed to upgrade the audio system in the high school's auditorium, they chose Clear Sound to install the new system. Milt Kunz, theater director and project coordinator, said the installation team's "greatest skills were the ability to listen to our conversations to pick out the priorities and needs of our house.
Each year, all over the country, more than 300,000 people get together with friends, family and co-workers for the MS Walk sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The Walks raise money for research, provide services to those affected by MS and to raise awareness. And every year, in Philadelphia, Clear Sound is there to provide audio support for the event.
The Griffin Complex at Gwynedd Mercy University is home to the Men's and Women's Basketball and Volleyball teams. The Complex hosted exciting competitions and distinguished graduations, but the attendees had a hard time hearing what was happening.
Intimate, natural-sounding dialogue in a sold-out theater. Crisp, intelligible announcements in a packed stadium. Exhilarating lights and music at an outdoor summer festival. A stirring sermon reaching every corner of a cavernous church.
Sounds like the work of Clear Sound - the Delaware Valley's best full-service audio, video and lighting company.

A wall in her heart rose. Another door locked over her wounded soul. She wouldn't let in people who didn't care. Why trust people who just lock you up, don't give you dignity for simply being a human and don't even help the hurt deep inside? It didn't make sense. Sabrina walked away from the hospital and as she did put another piece of the mask over her being. Slowly she was building a masquerade to lock out humans, just like they were locking her out.

This Keto Vanilla Pound Cake is an incredibly simple dessert with excellent macros and just the right amount of sweetness. It also stores very well, that is…if there are any leftovers!
This Keto Vanilla Pound Cake is an incredibly simple dessert with excellent macros and just the right amount of sweetness. It also stores very well, that is…if there are any leftovers!
- 2 cups almond flour (I use this kind)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup erythritol (I used this)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Generously butter a 9 inch bundt pan, set aside
- Combine almond flour and baking powder in a large bowl, set aside
- Cut butter into several small squares and put in separate bowl, add cream cheese
- Microwave butter and cream cheese for 30 seconds. Be careful to not burn cream cheese. Stir these wet ingredients together until well combined.
- Add erythritol, vanilla extract, and sour cream to butter and cream cheese mixture. Stir well.
- Pour wet ingredients into large bowl of almond flour and baking powder. Stir well.
- Add eggs to batter. Stir well.
- Pour batter into buttered bundt pan, place in oven and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the cake comes out clean.
- For best results, let cake cool completely for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. If you remove it too soon, it may crumble a bit.
A toothpick should come out mostly clean, with just a few crumbs when the cake is done.
If it looks overly wet place it back in the oven in 5 minute intervals until cooked. It should bounce back when gently touched but may have a little jiggle. This is typical with almond flour desserts until completely cool.
The edges are going to start getting dark brown and looking burnt pretty quickly. They're not burnt. (see photo in post for reference)
You can make this vanilla pound cake with coconut flour, but I have not tried it and do not know the correct amounts.
You can easily half the recipe or alter the shape to make cupcakes or a loaf. You can also easily customize the flavor by adding strawberries or blueberries to the cake batter, or to the dish once it's done, like I've shown in the pictures (nutritional info does not include strawberries or whipped cream).
Please note that I am not a certified nutritionist. Any nutritional information that is discussed or disclosed in this post should only be seen as my best amateur estimates based on NET carbs. If nutrition is important to you, I highly encourage you to verify any data you see here with your favorite nutrition calculator.

A Heapin' Plate of Conservative Politics & Religion
By Tom Quiner
Samson sleeps with a machete under his bed.
His neighborhood isn't a very nice place, so the machete serves as his security blanket. He lives on the wrong side of the tracks in a place called Gugulethu, as in Gugulethu, South Africa.
His skin is black; his blood is red; and his heart is pure gold.
My son, Mark, went to South Africa on business, and to my chagrin, spent a night in Samson's abode. No harm came to him, but in the morning, Samson asked if the bed bugs bothered him.
Samson lives in abject, material poverty by most American metrics.
Who is this South African guy with the biblical name?

Mums of the Shire is a thriving and supportive online community, and our events aim to recreate that same vibrancy and passion in real life. We think it's really important for our mums to meet regularly and in person, so every few months we try to create opportunities for them to connect with each other and share in the highs and lows of motherhood!
We aim to ensure our mums catch up in a relaxed, casual environment, with some fun entertainment to keep the kids occupied so they can relax. We also create ways for mums to sample interesting and relevant services or products offered by local businesses for free without any hard-sell or pressure. And, most importantly we do our best to make sure we chose a venue with good coffee close to hand!
In the past we've held both intimate and large-scale events, at private and public venues, but the key is always to make sure everyone has fun!
Bushland Valley Catch-Up
Join us for our next Mums of The Shire catch-up, at the stunning Audley Dance Hall & Café in the heart of the Royal National Park.
Bring a picnic rug and get ready to enjoy this glorious setting, just 10 minutes down the road from Sutherland. There's lots of space for prams and the kids can run free in the expansive grassed area outside the café which will be serving delicious food and drinks. Grab a coffee and mini muffin for just $4.
Watch this space for details of all the fun activities for you and the kids to do.
Please note: There is a fee of $12 for all cars entering the Royal National Park.
If you think you might like to visit the Royal National park again with your family. Consider purchasing a Multi Park Pass from the Visitors centre for $65 (valid for 1 year for all parks in NSW, except Kosciusko National Park). You can then visit the park as many times as you like over the year and enjoy all the Royal National Park has to offer.

Motherhood was celebrated in style, among the lush green surrounds of Camellia Gardens at our last Mums of the Shire catch-up of 2018. The stunning location made for a fun and relaxed event, where kids could roam and enjoy all the wonderful activities, while mums got to connect and socialise.
We are very lucky to have so many local businesses who came together and gave their time to ensure there was plenty of fun and engaging activities for kids to enjoy, as well as something special for mums.
The 'mums meeting mums' area was a hit thanks to Inspire Love Wedding & Event Hire for providing all the lovely decor, Emma Wiseman Naturopathy for spoiling us with healthy and delicious treats and Glitter Girls Pamper Parties for providing some much-needed pampering.
Mums had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with Alex from iMove Physiotherapy about women's health and getting back into exercise while having their tummy separation checked and assessed. Veena Parry from Sleep Sweet Sleep Deep offered advice on all things sleep while Caroline Flynn Lactation Consultant IBCLC was helping mums with their concerns around infant feeding. The lovely ladies from St George Montessori Early Learning did not get a moments rest with so many little people eager for their turn in the face-painting chair. Little Kickers Sutherland Shire wore the kids out with their energetic soccer-based games. Kids got very creative, making some beautiful nature inspired art thanks to The Creativity Club. They also enjoyed some peaceful story time and yoga put on by Star Yoga For Kids.
Smallprint Sutherland Shire offered mums cute little paper and ink handprint keepsakes and were very generous donating a $150 voucher to the lucky door prize pool. Impressionable Kids Sutherland Shire were also very generous donating $150 voucher to a lucky winner on the day. A big thanks to Camellia Gardens and Sutherland Shire Council for allowing us to enjoy such a wonderful space and allowing the little people to play their ball games in the gardens on this special occasion.

If you are really adventurous or if your better half has evicted you from the garage, you can read up on building a shed through our my shed plans review as a gateway and set up a new workshop at our website if studying different woodworking plans interest you?
These are the woodworking plans for those skilled craftsmen who want a real challenge.london, United Kingdom (prHWY. Whether it will be an additional building used for storage; a garage to house your car or motorized toys; or for a small to medium farming structure whose purpose is for animal housing or a greenhouse; there are several sources to get started.
Many people consider the building of larger structures such as sheds to be more of a construction project as opposed to being a woodworking project, starting with the basic concepts used in constructing a home with foundation, framing, and a roof.
When you go through our full my shed plans review, you will see why Ryan Henderson's site is a great resource to get the plans necessary to build your own shed. Reading our my shed plans review should be your first step in your woodworking journey. The various woodworking plans included are made for all the different skill levels along with complete materials, tool listings, as well as the potential timetable for completing the project. Known as vintage woodworking, they can add to the rustic appeal to the buildings. Fortunately, for larger projects, there are other woodworking plans available for sheds and other outdoor structures. One such source to get started is within our my shed plans review. March 27, 2012 – A lot of people love the smell and feel of woodworking items whether it would be indoor or outdoor furniture; play gyms or playhouses for the kids; or outdoor building structures. A lot is determined upon what the final building is going to be. It's the detailing that goes into the structure is what is going to make it stand out from a general building.
Why don't you check out the my shed plans review. Reading that can provide you the place to get your specific woodworking plans necessary for your needs. This type of construction can be seen in some of the living historical museums from around the country, where many of the woodworking products and housing were put together when even Transparent Chairs Factory the early metals used for fastening were not available.
For those who want to experiment with how things were actually done centuries ago, there are sites available that specialize in tools and instructional materials on how furniture and buildings were put together without the common power tools and even more shocking, without the use of nails.

Transmurdera is the title of a group of common submachine guns in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Hyperion and features the Hyperion barrel.
Usage & Description
Hyperion SMGs are high accurate but they have the feature of "reverse recoil": the longer the accuracy increases the longer the trigger is held. The listed accuracy on the weapon is what is achievable after the sustained fire increases their accuracy to maximum.
The Transmurdera utilizes the Hyperion barrel which gives it a slightly higher accuracy at the costly price of a smaller magazine. Another trait of a weapons with a Hyperion barrel as a reduced base damage is leveled in Transmurdera by the coincidence of the manufacturers of gun and barrel.
Notable variants
Borderlands 2
- Bitch – Legendary submachine gun with greatly increased recoil reduction rate; also have increased accuracy, magazine size and critical hit damage.
- Actualizer – Seraph submachine gun with improved damage, magazine size and initial aim sway at the cost of slower reload, bullet speed and less accuracy.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
- Galvanizing Transmurdera – Unique (but common-quality) variant which is starting weapon for Jack in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
- Fatale – Legendary Cryo submachine gun with greatly increased recoil reduction rate; also have increased accuracy, magazine size and critical hit damage.
- Cheat Code – Legendary SMG, which shots fired have a chance to not consume ammo, while you is in Fight for Your Life. Increased accuracy, recoil reduction rate, and critical hit damage at the cost reduced magazine size.
- The variants of Transmurdera in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel commonly spawns with Hyperion's new-style materials and prefixes which are the same as in Borderlands 2.
- In addition to the Transmurdera, a variant of this weapon exists in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as the Pro-Target, made by the "old" Hyperion.
- This weapon only comes in green or higher rarity.
- The Transmurdera is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
