Famed game creator Hideo Kojima talked Death Stranding at the Tribeca Game Festival in a keynote conversation, giving an update on the state of the game's development and more about Norman Reedus' character in the game.
Kojima said when he thought of the main character for Death Stranding, he was specifically thinking of having Norman Reedus take the role. For those that remember, The Walking Dead actor was set to be the protagonist in Kojima's Silent Hills game, which became a casualty of the dramatic split between Kojima and Konami in 2015.
As for Death Stranding, Reedus' character (who incidentally, Kojima almost accidentally named on stage during the keynote) is set to be the main character in this first game from the newly formed Kojima Productions. And Kojima assured fans that Reedus' character will be clothed in the game, unlike in the debut trailer for the game. The choice to have Reedus be nude in that trailer, Kojima said, was so that the focus would be on the reveal of Reedus, but in the full game his character will have a variety of clothes, hairstyles, and equipment.
Death Stranding continues the new direction by Kojima (which he started in earnest with Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain) to work with real actors instead of use traditional CG and animation. Subsequent trailers have shown the likes of Guillermo del Toro and Mads Mikkelsen, along with fresh rumors that Emma Stone may also be starring in the game.
Why work with real actors? Kojima said actors bring an unpredictability to the project, with their choices influencing the direction of certain parts of the game, which is what he wanted. Otherwise, traditional CG and animation leads to predictable results that follow Kojima's exact plans, he said. That's not very fun, according to Kojima, while having actors participate makes the game more "lively."
When asked about how far into development Death Stranding is, Kojima said "it's going very well" with the general plan and plot in place and tests being done for the game's systems, characters, and environments. The overall story of the game is not expected to change, but Kojima said details will need to be worked out over the course of development.
It's definitely an exciting time to know that Kojima and his team are working on their next game, but no release window has been announced. The next time gamers could hear about Death Stranding is at E3, most likely during the Sony keynote as Death Stranding is a PlayStation 4 exclusive title.
Death Stranding is currently in development for PlayStation 4.

What Trump and Black Voters Should RealizeBy AllardK
Filed Under Latest News, Race for White House 2016 on Jun 3
John Conyers is still at it. Can you believe it? The longest serving congressman since … so long ago we all forget. Over 50 years. And Frank Morris does not approve of Conyer's kowtowing to progressive belief's in diversity as an absolute good for the African-American community. Especially the working voters.
Frank Morris is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies. Yes, they don't like immigration: their motto is: low-immigration – pro-immigrant. As in legal, controlled immigration. As in the law of supply and demand of labor in America. Especially as it applies to lower-skilled workers whose wages have been held down by illegal immigration.
Morris was director of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Safe to say its members are not big Frank Morris fans and they don't exchange daily emails supporting each other's policy views. Because identity politics – as espoused by those who have a tight grip on the Democratic Party establishment – means a broad inclusiveness across ethnicity, cultural backgrounds, nationality, legal status, sex (oops sorry, gender), sexuality … and on and on.
And supporting so-called undocumented migrants is a shared good that will elevate all those who suffer discrimination or prejudice of any form. At least that's what the progressive faith proclaims.
Unfortunately, studies show that illegal immigration does hold down wages in relatively lower-skilled jobs. Something that has become an entitlement for certain industries like hospitality and fast food franchises. Something to be lobbied for through various channels.
Digging in further, the studies show that at the micro level – in the individual firm or franchise – African American workers risk being left out of jobs that are instead given to illegals, precisely because illegals are paid less and literally have no legal recourse to press claims on issues like overtime or health and safety concerns.
Over at The Federalist – which has covered working class concerns over globalization fairly consistently without railing against globalization – John Gibbs made the case for Black voters choosing Trump precisely because of his trade and immigration policies. Gibbs – a former Apple engineer with experience in East Asia as a tech teacher and a postgrad in public administration – makes the point that trade with Asia is an uneven playing field. A tougher negotiating stance with Japan and China for example, along with less regulatory and tax burdens could bring (or keep) manufacturing jobs back to America. It's a more pro-jobs and business-friendly perspective than Morris, but comes to the same conclusion. Oh yes, Giggs happens to be African American. And is clearly a policy wonk looking to plant himself firmly in the beltway, one suspects.
Whether tit-for-tat strategies in the context of international trade agreements will produce better deals or lead to global trade wars is uncertain. But the dangers of such a strategy may be exaggerated by free-trade advocates.
Both men – and a quietly growing community of commentators – state that the Democratic Party has betrayed its incredibly loyal African-American base. And that their faith in having strong Black Caucus leaders in Congress to represent their interests is misguided. Will they convince a significant percentage of black voters to turn to Trump? That seems unlikely – to put it politely – over the next few months. But this could be the beginning of an enormous shift in voting patterns.
Because when it comes to black working class voters, Trump may be the candidate whose trade and immigration polices is more in their interest than Hillary. Or Sanders for that matter. Even if those voters, and even Trump himself, don't really realize it.

Our Patron
In 2018 Australia lost one of its national treasures with passing of Richard Gill. Richard was Patron of both the NSW School Band Festival and the Australian School Orchestral Festival and was very involved in, and supportive of, our plans to become the Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival. His passing leaves a huge gap to be filled, a task to which the Board will give its consideration in due course. For now please read and enjoy Richard's welcome to our Festival.
'Welcome to the NSW School Band Festival website. This is truly one of Australia's great musical events and I am very pleased to be able to give my support to such a wonderful institution.
My great friend, Cliff Goodchild, was years ahead of his time when he commenced this event back in 1962. Music in Australian schools has undergone tremendous change since then. The School Band Festival has at once born witness to and, in many ways, championed this change. Change that was due, in large part, to the extraordinary vision of Cliff Goodchild all those years ago.
I commend the energetic Music Directors who prepare the bands for this challenging event and the parents who tirelessly support their children in the pursuit of musical excellence.
Most significantly, I congratulate all the young musicians who take part in this event. Music making is a wonderful gift that has the capacity to stimulate your mind and imagination and your efforts will enrich the cultural life of the nation. It is a gift that will remain with you for the rest of your life.'
Support the Festival with your tax-deductible donation
If you or your company is looking to invest in the future of Australia I would urge you to consider the NSW School Band Festival.
The Festival is listed on the Federal Government's Register of Cultural Organisations as a tax- deductible entity. Any donation over $2.00 is tax-deductible and you will be making a significant contribution to the cultural life of Australia.

Though a lot quieter these days, the village is well known locally for its annual fete, the Barkway Market, which always draws a good crowd. It also has the Barkway Park golf and country club to the rear of the village, on the Nuthampstead road. Cokenach estate and cricket club lies along the Barley road at the opposite end of Barkway, with the impressive Newsells Stud Farm nestled in the adjacent rolling countryside.

Guideline Description of Our Interview Design
1. Situating the researcher The respondents did not know the authors in person, that is, we used cold calls to randomly selected companies.
The respondents' openness toward the interviewer may thus depend on the respondents' trust toward the authors'
institution and the confidentiality of disclosure (cf. guideline 7 below). We explained that the study is part of a PhD
project at our university and that the interviewer has an IS background (MSc information systems).
2. Minimizing social dissonance To minimize social dissonance, we aimed to ensure that the respondents felt comfortable at any given time.
Although the first contact was a cold call to the companies, we subsequently sent an email outlining the research
project and the role of interviews in it. The interviewer himself contacted the potential respondents to ensure that
any questions on behalf of the respondents could be directly answered. By emphasizing that the respondents are
the experts and that no right or wrong answers existed in this context, we carefully sensitized the participants
for our study. Moreover, we assured the participants of confidentiality (cf. guideline 7 below) and gave them full
control over the audio-recording (i.e., the participants could decide to turn off the recording at any time).
3. Representing variety of voices All respondents are or have been working in the position of an IS project manager. Because we did not aim toassess the management of expectations within an intra-organizational context, we interviewed managers from avariety of organizations to enable subject triangulation. By randomly contacting companies and respondents, weare confident to have avoided biases related to the selection of respondents.
4. Everyone is an interpreter In order to reduce subjectivity, two authors independently analyzed the interviews and conjointly aggregated theresults in a subsequent step. Diverging assessments were discussed until agreement was reached. For readersof this article, we provide several direct quotes from the interviews to enable a better understanding of therespondents' views.
5. Using mirroring Beginning with general questions, we stepwise asked more specific questions about the respondents' experiences.
By assuring participants that no right or wrong answers existed in the context of the study, we encouraged the
respondents to be as open as possible. We mostly used open-ended questions in our interviews (see Appendix A)
to avoid imposing our wording on the respondents. By asking for concrete project situations, we aimed to focus on
vivid stories that were revisited in follow-up questions.
6. Flexibility While following the interview guide in general, the interviewer paid special attention to the responses given bythe respondents. In any occurrence of potentially relevant answers, the interviewer followed the emerging line ofinquiry and adapted the structure of the interview accordingly.
7. Confidentiality of disclosures We guaranteed participants confidentiality and access to the aggregated results. In the beginning of theinterviews, we explained the procedures taken to ensure confidentiality and adequate handling of the interviews.The interview transcripts were anonymized, that is, names related to individuals or companies were replaced bypseudonyms. Subsequently, the links between the transcripts and the respondents were removed and the audiofiles deleted.

Those who are saying that libraries are dying or already dead have probably not stepped into a library for quite some time now. Most of the major libraries have actually adapted to the changing tides of how people consume their books and other media. Some are surprised that their local libraries actually let you borrow ebooks (and even digital music and movies) for free. Now Google Search has included information about whether the libraries near you will let you borrow an ebook of the book you're looking for.
When you do a Google Search for a book, you will also now get various tabs, just like with movies, TV shows, etc, with Overview, Reviews, More By Author, and of course the all-important Get the Book card. Under that, you get links to where you can buy the book and how much it is. Now you'll also get a "Borrow ebook" tab to see which of the local libraries around your area will let you borrow the ebook for free. You just have to turn on your location so Google knows which libraries are nearest you.
When you tap on the specific library that you use or want to borrow from, it will lead you to Overdrive or whatever it is that the library uses to manage their ebooks collection. You will have to sign in with your library credentials, then choose whether you want to read a sample first or just borrow it straightforward and it will then be available in your device or app, depending on how long your library will let you borrow it.
This new feature is rolling out now both for Google Search on mobile as well as on a desktop. However, it looks like it's only available in the US for now, but hopefully, it will also roll out to other places where libraries offer free ebook rentals.

Cover Reveal Celebration!
Last week I teased that you would soon be getting more details on my upcoming releases in my paranormal wedding planner series. FOR BETTER OR FOR WOLF will release on September 16th which is just seven short weeks from now!
I know many of you have been waiting for the next books in this series and so I am giving you not one, but two that will be coming your way this fall.
To kick off the celebration, let's start with a cover reveal AND a blurb for the book. Check it out below.
Preorder: AMAZON iBOOKS B&N KOBO
For Better or For Wolf
"Relationship" is not a four-letter word.
Olivia Jennings is all about following the rules. A psychiatrist with a tragic past, she dedicates her life to helping others. Controlling all aspects of her life—especially relationships—protects her battered heart. But when she learns supernaturals exist, her carefully constructed world crumbles. Drawn into counseling a werewolf pack, she butts heads with the ridiculously handsome but infuriating wolf determined to protect her.
Connor Dawson is all about bucking the status quo. He's not looking for commitment or love. In fact, after being rejected by his pack, he's certain he's immune to that particular emotion. But when Olivia inserts herself into wolf business, his hackles stand straight up. No one is more surprised than Connor when their teasing banter turns into serious attraction.
When Olivia and Connor are thrown into the middle of a pack war, things heat up…with an attempted murder, a political power struggle, and their sizzling chemistry. Will this explosive situation finally bring them together—or blow them apart?
So what do you think???
I really loved writing Connor and Olivia's story and can't wait to share it with you!!

That is how the match went out: 1-1 at half time, 1-2 after full time and 0-0 in the 30 minutes Poli played in 9 men. It was indeed a great night for football, which started perfectly for Poli right in the second minute, when a long diagonal pass, excellently headed by Stancu found Bucur in front of the Dutch defenders. The small striker struggled to lay down the ball, and lost a pace or two, but was inspired to turn around and found Goga who put it past Stekelenburg.
However, Poli's defense was as shaky as ever, with Nibombe struck down by a cold in the short time before the matchday. Not confident on Scutaru and Mera to form the centre of defense, Sabău relied heavily on improvisations. Bonfim was brough from the right flank to play as the third central midfielder, and Karamyan was pulled down the field. It was the armeanean who was totally baffled by Luis Suárez on our left flank. It's true that the ball was deflected somewhat luckily to the Uruguayan, who then hit the ball with exterior, shaming Pantilimon at the near post, a bit before the 10 minute mark.
The rest of the first half was quite balanced, with both teams getting quite close to goal. Ajax tried to prove their worth through their speed and our patched-up defense, but really it was their strikers - Suárez and Pantelić - who were the most dangerous, and the most forgiving, as both missed a series of good occasions. Poli's possessive play wasn't that good, with Magera in bad shape. At most times, he was one step behind the ball, and his frustration grew as he couldn't find his place on the pitch. It was he who offered the ball to the opponents, letting Pantelić have the first opportunity in the 4th minute. The Czech almost put it in from a free kick, after another try, but from the other side, by Bourceanu. The latter, also came close to score after a well worked attack from the whole team, but Stekelenburg dived to save it. The second half was looking open to any outcome.
And it start it, like the first, with an early goal. Pantelić was found perfectly between our defenders, who were neither marking the Serb, nor playing for offside, and it was a mere formality for him to score. The disaster struck in the 53rd minute, when in a similar situation, Bonfim desperately struggled to catch Donald, who decided to fall in the box. The unforgiving Italian referee decided: penalty and elimination. A hastened decision if you ask me, enhanced by some dubious offside positions uncalled by the linesman, who seemed a tad slow and bad-sighted. The high-tech transmission also seemed to be defective or otherwise reluctant to show concludent replays.
But in such situations, fighters do not let down, but rise to stand tall, as Pantilimon saved Suárez's poor penalty. Bucur could have made a miracle when he darted towards goal but was stopped by an disproportionate duel. This time, however, the ref decided no foul. In the 62nd minute, Stancu was outrun by Suárez and his effort to deflect the ball only let the Uruguayan a clear path to goal. Pantilimon was late and toppled him just inside the box. Once again, penalty and elimination. Taborda came in for Bucur, as the crowd chanted both goalkeepers' names. Suárez once again, different man in front of him, but the rest was the same. Same shot, another save, and the Uruguayan sealed his title of goof of the Europa League: 27 shots on goal, only 2 in the back of the net.
With 2 men down, Poli had little to say offensively, but played sturdy to keep the Dutchmen far from goal. Ajax also seemed not wanting to push, as their qualification was set in stone, but still had lots of opportunities, including two coming off the top post. The only spark was coming from their captain whose frustration grew and grew, one huge miss after the other.
A good, ambitious play from Poli throughout the match, but the poor defense made its definite mark at the end of a high-spirited night. Kudos to all the players for their dedication! The team left the field after their last match at home in the Europa League this season, in the applause of the whole crowd.
Poli: Pantilimon (5,5) - Bonfim (4), Scutaru (4,5), Mera (5,5) - Stancu (5,5), Bourceanu (6,5), Alexa (6,5), Art. Karamyan (5,5) - Bucur (6), Magera (5,5), Goga (6,5)
Parks (5,5) for Magera (min 50)
Taborda (6,5) for Bucur (min 62)
Maxim for Goga (min 73)

About this book
This book offers a strong introduction to fundamental concepts on the basis of materials science. It conveys the central issue of materials science, distinguishing it from merely solid state physics and solid state chemistry, namely to develop models that provide the relation between the microstructure and the properties.
The book is meant to be used in the beginning of a materials science and engineering study as well as throughout an entire undergraduate and even graduate study as a solid background against which specialized texts can be studied. Topics dealt with are "crystallography", "lattice defects", "microstructural analysis", "phase equilibria and transformations" and "mechanical strength". After the basic chapters the coverage of topics occurs to an extent surpassing what can be offered in a freshman's course.
About the author
Prof. Mittemeijer is one of the top scientists in materials science, whose perceptiveness and insight have led to important achievements. This book witnesses of his knowledge and panoramic overview and profound understanding of the field. He is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart.

....with Ronda Rousey. You guys, I am usually against remakes, I've never been obsessed with the movie Road House, and I don't particularly care about MMA fighting but holy crap do I LOVE the very idea of this. That they would remake the movie and even consider remake it with a female lead? Amazing.
I can't wait to see it, and I cannot WAIT to read a bunch of whiny butthurt MRAs complain about it.
(on a side note once I've calmed down, for anyone that isn't aware, Rousey also has dealt with a speech disorder her entire life, so I am also impressed with her for taking on a challenge like speaking/acting in a movie and being a role model for kids that way, too)

As of recently a warm home has become a necessity for some. The weather outside is getting harsher be it summers or winters. In harsh winters, a warm home and a functioning heating system is one of the top-most priorities for some. If for some reason you find your boiler heating system not working, you need to call a professional for boiler repairs in Stratford. Unlike other house appliances where one usually tries their hand at repairing and fixing, boilers are something that should not be risked because it is one of the most expensive things in a house. It is also essentially a boiler which has hot water and a raging flame so one should steer clear of trying to meddle with a boiler system.
For optimal performance, boiler repairs should be performed annually. Inevitably all electrical appliances and objects need some repairs to function properly and so is the case with boilers. If taken care of properly i.e. timely repairs and maintenance, not using it excessively can significantly prolong the life of your boiler. On average, heating systems are predicted to last for almost fifteen years and with proper care it can be stretched to up to 25 years or maybe more.
The most common problem faced by users is no water or no heat. The primary reason for this problem can be low water pressure, gas pressure or lowered thermostat level. If you think that the diaphragm, air valve or lock is broken then you will need to call a professional plumber to come out and replace the part for you. Another issue that consumers face is the dripping or leaking of water. Let us get into the science of this problem. As we know that exposure to moisture causes metal to rust and over time erode, the same happens with water boiler pipes. As compared to normal temperature water, hot water causes the metal to rust at a significantly faster rate. When the pipes have rust in them, they start eroding causing them to leak, drip and in some extreme cases burst. To keep dangerous situations at bay, problems like the ones described above should not be overlooked.
Not having your boiler serviced properly can cause a significant rise in your heating bill. Boilers are designed to work efficiently and to save energy. If it is not repaired or checked it inevitably will use more power to function. For example if your pipes are clogged which results in low gas and water pressure, the boiler will have to be turned on for a longer period of time to get the house at a comfortable cozy temperature. When a machine is used more than normal it is bound to suck up that much energy as well resulting in a rise in bills.
If your boiler is fairly new, maybe three or four years old and it starts making noises like banging, gurgling and whistling, despite being a cause for a scare there just might be some air trapped in the system. Try turning the system off and turn it back on after a minute or two and check. If you still hear noises then you might need professional service for boiler repairs in Stratford. As a safety measure you can shut the boiler off while the plumber arrives.

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals that we use and is essential for cellular health, regulating over 300 enzymes in our body. It's involved in energy production, electrical impulses, nerve function, muscle control, and the detoxification of harmful environmental toxins, so making sure you have adequate levels is extremely important.
Magnesium can help regulate the stress hormone cortisol, which additionally can aid with hormone balancing, blood sugar balancing, and keeping insulin levels in check. It can also promote sleep, slow aging, enhance the absorption of vitamin D (which is vital for bone and immune health), and importantly, is vital in keeping your thyroid healthy, which can further affect the menstrual cycle and fertility.
That being said, magnesium is one of the most common minerals to be deficient in due to poor soil quality, and the fact that a stressful lifestyle can actually use up our existing nutrient stores!
There are many possible signs that this mineral may need topping up and can include some of the following:
- Constipation
- Hormone imbalances and menstrual cramps
- Muscle cramps and aches
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Migraine headaches
- Fatigue
- Digestive complaints
- Recurring bacterial infections
- Mood imbalances including anxiety
- PMS symptoms
- Cardiovascular issues
Our body tends to give us signs when we need a little looking after, so in any of these cases, eating foods rich in magnesium may ultimately lead to benefits.
Food Sources
- Dark leafy greens
- Black beans
- Nuts and seeds
- Avocado
- Dark chocolate (this is why we tend to crave chocolate when we're low in magnesium, and especially us ladies before our periods!) * However, please note that if you're stressed out, eating dark chocolate rich in caffeine may not be the best option
Epsom Salts & Flotation TanksAs another great addition, including Epsom salts into your bath is a brilliant way of absorbing the minerals. The salts are composed of magnesium, sulphates and oxygen, which have been used for centuries as a natural anti-inflammatory remedy. When they're combined with water as a soaking solution, they encourage the absorption of magnesium in the body and promote lymph drainage.
Floatation tanks are also the latest trend in the health world, as they are pods that contain 600 kg of magnesium rich Epsom salts in 25cm deep water.
All you do is just lie in a pod, close the lid and float for an hour in a healing solution. Research has even likened this experience to meditation, as it's an intensely relaxing experience!
Benefits of using these Epsom salt flotation tanks include faster recovery from injuries, an increase in energy, reduction in lactic acid, and enhanced immunity!
SupplementsIn an ideal world we would be getting all our nutrients from fresh food, yet as mentioned, due to our lifestyle and poor soil quality, more often than not, using high doses of magnesium in a supplemental form can work wonders for our health. There are various forms of magnesium including the following:
- Magnesium Malate
This comes from malic acid, which can help cells use and make energy, and is additionally beneficial for muscle pain.
- Magnesium Threonate
Is quickly absorbed in the brain and so is useful for memory and brain health
- Magnesium Oxide
This is useful for cases of constipation
- Magnesium Citrate
This comes from the salt of citric acid, which is helpful for relaxation, cramping, and regulating bowel movements.
- Magnesium Sulphate
Is found in Epsom salts, and can aid detoxification and muscle relaxation
- Magnesium Chloride
This is found in sprays and is easier to absorb in people with compromised digestion
- Magnesium Glycinate
This is one of my go-to forms of magnesium, as it is more absorbable than most other forms and can help balance hormones without the laxative effect. Glycinate is also bound to glycine meaning that it can help promote sleep, so it's a win- win from most angles!
Suspect you're low in magnesium? Give me a shout and we can work on a plan to get you feeling great again!

He's just giving these players away." Whether that chat is curt or cheery will depend on Thursday's matchup with the Indiana Fever. Further clearing out former Detroit players, Richardson, the first-year Tulsa coach, traded prized second-year shooter Shavonte Zellous (pictured right by the WNBA) to Indiana for a second-round pick in the 2011 draft on May 27. Say what? Zellous was the 11th pick in the 2009 draft, a key contributor to the defunct Detroit's playoff run and everyone knows second-round picks, aside from say F Camille Little, barely have chances to make limited WNBA rosters. Making the move stranger was the Shock playing the Fever two days later. Zellous, who's averaging 8.8 points in an average 16.8 minutes off the bench for Indiana, played five minutes and scored two points in the five-point loss in Tulsa. "She was a steal for us," Indiana PG Tully Bevilaqua said. "It was late the night before we were leaving to go to Tulsa that I heard about the transaction. What a thing for her to play for one team and the next night the other team against her old team. "But I think she's going to be that kind of X-factor player for us off the bench where she can just come in and just try and stop her — she's just so quick! And she's very aggressive." Zellous' spark along with late returnees Tamika Catchings, Katie Douglas, Tammy Sutton-Brown and Ebony Hoffman finally settling in has the Fever looking like the defending Eastern Conference champions, again. Indiana is 4-1 so far in June and a 4-1 overall at Conseco Fieldhouse. Thursday's matchup with league-leading Seattle (9-1) is key to gauge where the team is at against an opponent that's clicking. Plus one that the Fever has owned at home, winning four of the past five since 2004. The Fever (6-4) will host East-leading Atlanta (9-3) on Saturday. "The first two weeks were just like, 'Let's try to get through this," said Bevilaqua, whose teammates were busy winning championships and competing in postseasons overseas. "We tried to fast-track that chemistry, but it's now the last week or so that we've seen it all come back to normality. The jetlag is out of the systems and it's definitely a better feel for us on the court." Seattle, meanwhile, is looking for its sixth consecutive victory — 100th overall for coach Brian Agler. The Storm would also move closer to Houston's all-time best start in the WNBA, which was 11-1 set in 1999. Betters are going with Indiana in this anticipated, grueling defensive battle. My pick remains the Storm because of depth. If F Le'coe Willingham and Svetlana Abrosimova can continue to contribute the way they have during the five-game win streak, the Storm should be able to pull through. Comments

Those were great sweaters that the first-year Nordiques wore. The later all-Blue uniforms were too plain. I remember the old AHL As de Quebec Aces.

Today, Fife is a pleasant suburb of Tacoma, WA, home to just more than 9,000 residents. Incorporated in 1957, the town is in a low, tide flat area. It may have been named for a well-regarded Tacoma lawyer, but Fife is very much its own place. The town has many businesses, as well as manufacturing facilities, fast food dining and small cafes, and a casino. As always, the town is a convenient crossroads, close to the Port of Tacoma, Interstate highway 5, and Highway 167. As a transportation hub, the town has welcomed many freight forwarding companies, as well as businesses devoted to travelers.
Are you looking to find apartment homes in Fife? You will see a good selection of rental houses, condos for rent and many a 1-bedroom apartment in this community. Whenever you move to a new city, it's a good idea to take your time finding the area you most want to live in. If you're planning a move to Fife, you should take about a month to find the best vacancy for you. Local newspapers, online listings, and of course doing your own footwork by walking or driving through town will help you find the best spots. Be prepared to provide your landlord with a copy of your credit report and bank statements. Many landlords require these documents.
Public art enhances the community spirit, and the attractive Puyallup River offers boating and fishing opportunities as well as fine walks and biking trails.
Tacoma Junction: This suburban community borders Tacoma's Blair Waterway. It's primarily made up of homes that are medium to small in size, and apartment complexes of medium size. Many residences are well-established, built between 1970 and 1999, and there are also older homes built prior to 1969 in this area. You'll find many shops and businesses located in this part of town, and a good mix of renters and property owners.
City Center: Bordering the Puyallup River, Fife City Center is suburban in density and offers single-unit homes, and small apartment complexes. The community is a solid mix of owners and renters, with many new residences built between 2000 and the present, and some built between 1970 and 1999. Restaurants and shops are located in this neighborhood.
Fife offers recreation programs and a variety of sports programs for athletes of all ages. The Daca Park Sports complex provides resources in modern facility. Dacca Community Park offers a well-planned walking track.
The town also has a vibrant public arts project, established in 2011. 20 artists submitted pieces for consideration, and The Fife Public Arts Commission selected five pieces to purchase and display in a variety of town locations. The items are sold in an arts gala, annually. You don't even need to use a quiet museum-voice to enjoy this artistic bounty.
Want more culture? The Tacoma Museum District and the LeMay America's Car Museum are just short jaunts away.

Lifecycle Rules
Lifecycle rules instruct the B2 service to automatically hide and/or delete old files. You can set up rules to do things like delete old versions of files 30 days after a newer version was uploaded.
A bucket can have up to 100 lifecycle rules. Each rule has a
You're not allowed to create two rules that both apply to the same files.
For example, a rule with a file name prefix of
Each lifecycle rule specifies two things:
Setting either
The most commonly used setting is
For example, if you are backing up your files to B2 using the B2 command-line tool,
or another software package that uploads files when they change, B2 will keep
old versions of the file. This is very helpful, because it means the old versions
are there if the original file is accidentally deleted. On the other hand,
keeping them forever can clutter things up. For an application like this, you
might want a lifecycle rule that keeps old versions in the
{ "daysFromHidingToDeleting": 30, "daysFromUploadingToHiding": null, "fileNamePrefix": "backup/" }
{ "daysFromHidingToDeleting": 1, "daysFromUploadingToHiding": 7, "fileNamePrefix": "logs/" }
Every lifecycle rule includes an implicit rule: When the oldest version of a file is a hide marker, the marker is deleted, independent of its age.
The API calls related to lifecycle rules are:
When you create a new bucket, you can specify the lifecycle rules. Later, you can change the rules on a bucket by updating it.
When Things Happen
Lifecycle rules are applied once a day. The smallest number of days you can set in a rule is 1. Rules will be applied at the next daily run after that number of days has passed.
As an example, suppose you upload the first version of
Suppose there's a lifecycle rule to delete files one day after they are hidden. If the lifecycle rules get applied at 01:00 on May 10, nothing will happen yet. It has been 19 hours since the May 2 version was hidden. Because it hasn't been a full day, nothing will happen.
The next day, on May 11, when the lifecycle get applied something will happen. If it runs at 01:00, it's now been 43 hours since the May 2 version was hidden, so the rule now applies and the old version will be deleted.
Setting Lifecycle Rules on the Web
The "Buckets" page for your account on the Backblaze web site has options for common lifecycle rule settings:
Keep all versions of the file (default) removes all lifecycle rules from the bucket, and keeps all versions of all files until you explicitly delete them.
Keep only the last version of the file deletes prior versions of a file one day after uploading a new version or hiding the file. The rule looks like this:
{ "daysFromHidingToDeleting": 1, "daysFromUploadingToHiding": null, "fileNamePrefix": "" }
Keep prior versions for this number of days lets you pick a number of days, and deletes prior versions of a file that many days after uploading a new version or hiding the file. The rule looks like this if you pick 30 days:
{ "daysFromHidingToDeleting": 30, "daysFromUploadingToHiding": null, "fileNamePrefix": "" }

Cal Quantrill Takes Aim At Becoming A Second Generation Major Leaguer
Quantrill, 23, is on the verge of achieving his big league dreams
By El Paso Chihuahuas | September 7, 2018 6:27 PM
23-year-old Cal Quantrill might be a step away from the big leagues, but he is no stranger to the Major League Baseball lifestyle. The son of 13-year MLB veteran reliever Paul Quantrill, Cal began shaping his career at a young age.
"For as long as I can remember, I never really had the choice of not loving baseball," Quantrill said of his childhood. "I was born the year my dad was called up and I lived the big league life for 13 years. When you're around something that long, you fall in love with it."
"I spent as much time in the clubhouses as they'd let me. I was only allowed to come down after wins, so it would be a good experience when he was playing on winning teams," Quantrill added. "As you spend time in clubhouses, you'll see which kind of atmospheres work and which types of guys are liked by everyone. You see what a winning team is comprised of, but I certainly had to do some learning on my own too."
Although he was exposed to baseball at a young age, growing up in Port Hope, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, allowed Quantrill to become an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan and expand his interests to hockey. The right-hander played hockey through high school and says the sport contributed to his approach as a pitcher.
"I actually liked hockey a lot growing up. I just outgrew the game and became too tall and skinny, so I was getting crushed by the bigger guys," Quantrill said. "But it's a great sport and I still think I'd choose that if I was good enough at it. Some of the hockey mentality is what makes me a good pitcher. Bringing that aggressiveness and competitiveness to the mound was what I learned from it."
Quantrill took that aggressiveness and competitiveness and parlayed it into three Team Canada 18U World Championship appearances while in High School. Although he already had plenty of incredible experiences with the sport, he says those three years with Team Canada were his favorite.
"Representing your country on any level is special. While Canada is a big country, it's a relatively small baseball country, so you know who the studs are," Quantrill said. "You have this inner competition, before coming together for the World Championship. We had a blast, won a couple of silver medals and I got to travel all over the world. I think I've played baseball on almost every continent, so it's definitely one of my fondest experiences in baseball."
Because of his baseball successes for both Trinity College in Ontario and Team Canada, Quantrill was selected by one of his father's former teams, the New York Yankees, in the 26th round in 2013. However, the right-hander did not sign, as he honored his commitment to one of college baseball's most prestigious programs, Stanford University.
Quantrill entered his first year at Stanford as a highly touted recruit, which allowed the Cardinal coaching staff to tab him as the opening day starter, something which no freshman had done at Stanford since Mike Mussina in 1988.
Quantrill solidified his place at the top of the rotation with an award-winning freshman year. He led the Cardinal staff in innings pitched (110.2) and strikeouts (98), on the way to a NCAA Super Regional appearance, as well as being named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and the All-Pac-12 Team.
As his sophomore year began, Quantrill and the whole Stanford team had high expectations. The right-hander made two starts to begin the season and then heard three words no pitcher wants to hear, Tommy John Surgery.
"I actually tore my UCL right around my birthday. I remember being miserable around that time. The first opinion I got said I was going to be able to pitch after taking a break. The second opinion was that it was completely gone," Quantrill said. "I threw the first two games of my sophomore year on a torn UCL and I gained a lot of respect for the guys who are trying to fight through it at any level, because it was terrible and incredibly painful. After that, it was the right decision for me to get the surgery. It sucked, because we were coming off such a good year and were poised to do good things the next few years, but I couldn't really help the team with the torn UCL, so I had to get it fixed."
"The toughest part of the recovery was watching. Physically it's challenging, every day you have to be doing the rehab part of it, but that just becomes your schedule. What's tough is watching your team win or lose without you," Quantrill added. "If they're losing without you, you think 'I could really help the team now'. It's hard sitting there watching everyone else compete and watching them getting to do what you signed up to do."
While some people might have felt sorry and done nothing to help themselves during the Tommy John rehab process, Quantrill took a different approach. The right-hander decided to take full advantage of his college life at Stanford, graduating early with an engineering degree.
"I took classes in time slots in which I never would have been able to take if I were playing," Quantrill said. "I got to take lab classes, an internship and pursued my engineering degree, where I might not have had the time or energy to do that. Some of my friendships I made at Stanford outside of baseball are my closest to this day."
"Those two years went as well as they could have gone. I wish I could have them back on the field, but I think I took advantage of the time off to mature as a baseball player and a person. I tried to make those 16-18 months as valuable as I could given the circumstances."
Although the last two years of his college career were taken up by rehab, the Padres still invested the eighth overall pick of the 2016 draft in Quantrill. Because of the early graduation, draft weekend turned into one of the wildest weekends of Quantrill's life.
"I was at school walking, still trying to field phone calls from my advisor and teams, trying to figure out what we were going to do. It all happened in one weekend. Drafted, graduated, drove to San Diego, drove to Arizona and game on in four days. It was a great weekend and I got to celebrate it with all of my closest friends who were still at school."
The Padres threw Quantrill right to fire after signing his contract, advancing him from the Arizona League to Tri-City, before finishing up his first professional season with Class-A Fort Wayne.
While Quantrill finished the year 0-5, with a 5.11 ERA, he found out what changes needed to be made in the offseason, leading him to a 3.67 ERA with Lake Elsinore to begin 2017, as well as a California League Midseason All-Star and a SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game appearance.
"You'll either adjust or get crushed in pro ball," Quantrill said. "I think I came in a little naïve on what type of pitcher I was. I knew I had good stuff, but I didn't use it in spots I was supposed to and I didn't repeat my delivery consistently. I know what it is that makes me a good pitcher and what gets guys out, so when things go downhill, that's what I turn to. Obviously, however, there's still a long way to go for me to reach my potential."
While he acknowledges there is refinement needed, Quantrill's career is advancing rapidly. The right-hander was invited to his first Major League Spring Training this season, which was an experience he relished.
"I learned a lot. I had great coaching and it was really valuable to be in a locker room with a bunch of the older guys and see how they approach their game and how they make themselves better on a daily basis," Quantrill said. "Knowing that they've been doing it for a long time, I figured out what I needed to do to get to their level. I re-evaluated what my level of preparation was and I've been implementing it this year."
The newfound approach led Quantrill to his second consecutive Midseason All-Star appearance, this time with San Antonio in the Texas League, as well as an August promotion to Triple-A El Paso. In six regular season starts with the Chihuahuas, Quantrill feels as if he's turned a corner, pitching to a 3-1 record, with a 3.48 ERA.
Heading into the postseason and offseason, Quantrill knows he has to keep evolving as a pitcher and as a person, because everything he has dreamed of since he was a child running around in his father's clubhouses is right in front of him.
"We all dream of that call, so I have no doubt it would be awesome. But, if there's one thing I've really learned is that you have to focus on the present," Quantrill said. "If you're always looking at the stars, sometimes you're distracted from the fact that you have to accomplish goals at your level. In the off time or before you go to bed, you might dream of it, but when it comes to being at the field, you have to be invested in what's going on and then the good things will come."
