James Kwasi Cudjoe, Eastern Regional Chairman of Ghana Private Road Transport Union(GPRTU) of GTUC, last weekend expressed concern about the high fines imposed on drivers by the courts.
He therefore, called on drivers to be disciplined and observe motor traffic regulations to avoid the imposition of high fines and help reduce road accidents in the country.
Mr Cudjoe made the observation at the swearing-in of new executive members for Begoro Number One Branch of the union at Begoro.
The election supervised by Fanteakwa Electoral Commission retained four executive members unopposed for the next four years.
They were Alex Kwabena Amoama, Chairman, Kwame Sarpong, Secretary, Kwame Amfo-Antiri, First Trustee and J. B. Amankwah, Second Trustee.
Mr Daniel Owusu from Osino was elected Vice Chairman with 38 votes as against 30 votes received by Mr Emmanuel Okyere from Begoro.
Mr Cudjoe advised drivers to stop only at designated areas and appealed to transport owners to renew the roadworthy certificates of their vehicles regularly to avoid prosecution.
Mr Amoama, Chairman of the branch expressed appreciation to the members for the confidence reposed in them.
He announced that a colour television set would be presented to the best driver this year, under its best driver's award scheme introduced two years ago.

Turkey dismisses dozens of mayors with Kurdish connection
Turkey has 28 mayors dismissed, which would sympathize with the Kurds. In these cities, in the south-east of the country, its new officials appointed.
In the cities, towns and villages had the pro-Kurdish HDP in the majority. President Tayyip Erdogan had earlier this week announced that the marketing of all pro-Kurdish officials in the area was a priority for Turkey.
The fight between Turkey and the Kurdish PKK over the past months, resurfaced, partly after a number of bloody attacks in Turkey.
Since mid-August, Turkey's attacks on Kurdish forces in northern Syria. Turkey supports Syrian rebels that are battling with the KoerdischeYPG militia with tanks.

Also, the positions of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition that was partly of Kurdish fighters and their allies bombarded by Turkish fighter aircraft and artillery. Turkey and the USA demands that the Kurds are from the area of Jarablus retreat to the east or left bank of the Euphrates river.
The Kurdish YPG militia has in the recent months several wins on IS booked and the city of Manbij back conquered. This to the dismay of Turkey, who does not want the Kurds their area at the Turkish border to expand.

Jimi HendrixPlay free gamePlay free game
The Jimi Hendrix slot is Net Entertainment's homage to the man behind Voodoo Chile, Purple Haze and a number of other classic rock songs. As a part of the NetEnt Rocks series, this game features a tremendous amount of high-quality music, and you'll get a chance to experience several bonus features in a land of great graphics and abstract visuals based on the music of the legend himself. This game is jam-packed with features and other goodies, and it will appeal to an extremely wide range of slot fans.
Game Format
The format for this game uses 20 paylines across five reels and three rows. It's typical of NetEnt to produce games with very typical basic formats and to still blow the competition out of the water with how incredibly well-produced the gameplay is. You can bet up to 10 coins on each payline with coins ranging from $0.01 to $1 apiece, so players have a betting range of $0.20 to $200 per spin to contend with. That's obviously going to cover the needs of virtually every type of player.
Main Game Features
During the main game, you can trigger two different features. The first is the Purple Haze feature, and it triggers when you get the Purple Haze symbol on the first reel. When you get that, all of the lower-tier symbols (A, K, Q, J and T) will turn into wilds for that one spin to give you shots at some pretty impressive wins.
The Red Guitar re-spin feature is the other main game feature, and getting four or more of the red guitar on the reels triggers this re-spin feature. The way this works is that the reels spin again with the red guitars held still. If new red guitars show up, they stay in place to give you even more re-spins. When no more red guitars show up, the feature is over, and you'll collect your winnings.
The Pick and Click Feature
If you get three of more of the scattered Jimi Hendrix wearing white symbols on the reels, you'll get a Pick and Click feature. There are four different bonus features you can win from there, and you'll pick up one of them each time you activate the Pick and Click. A coin win will give you between 8 and 30 times your total bet as an instant win. There are also free spins modes you can win through this feature.
The Crosstown Traffic free spins give you six free spins with wild reels. The Purple Haze free spins feature gives you between 6 and 12 free turns with the low-tier symbols turning into wilds. Finally, there's the Little Wing free spins feature which gives players between 3-5 random wild symbols overlaid on the board after the spin for between 6 and 12 free turns. All of these features offer a pretty sizable amount of value, and they're great options for players who want to run up some big payouts. It's cool to see so many different free spins feature in a video slot like this.
Top Regular Pays
The wild symbol shows up on all reels, but it doesn't have its own payouts. Four of Jimi or of the red guitar will give you 400x for five and 100x for four. They also both pay for just two of a kind. A 200x win is yours for five of the white guitar, and players can earn 150x for five of the peace sign.
Five of the hearts earns 125x, and the record will get you 100x for five of a kind. The flower and eye also give you reasonable payouts with 90x and 80x, respectively, for five of each.
Finally, we have the low-tier symbols. Five As will earn you 75x, and five Ks earns you slightly less at 70x. A 60x win is good for five of the Q symbol, and five of either the J or 10 symbol will pick up 50x.
Game Overview
The style of graphics in the Jimi Hendrix online slot is a bit typical because it's based on a particular style of animation. It's definitely of a high quality, and the music in the game is of a top-notch quality as well, but it might throw players off a little at first who are expecting live action footage or something along those lines. Regardless, it's a great game with great production values all around, and the gameplay itself is excellent as well.

Hi Guys,
What do you think in geneal about crowdfunding and especially IndieGoGo? Kickstarter is unfortunately not avaliable where I live. Tried to look for some partnerships to get a professional Kickstarter campaign going, but the project I am working on is currently in a 30-50% stage, especially the graphics, hence no professional publisher was interested in partnering at the moment. From the 50 I have reached out to, I had received 4-5, "looks interesting let us know when its completed or nearly completed" and that is it so I decided to give it a go and try to make and IndieGoGo campaign on my own.
What do you think about the below campaign?

Hi! I'm new to the bandwagon and I am very excited to get my NetDuma (its still on its way). I just want to ask if RoS is optimized or supported?

Overview[edit | edit source]
Every Arena game begins and ends at The Glorious Sea Dog lobby, where players can interact with various vendors and objects, communicate with each other and access the Sea Dog Representatives. Once in game, up to five galleon crews of four compete for Sea Dog Chests of silver that are hidden on Treasure Maps within one of the regions of the Sea of Thieves (with the exception of Devil's Roar). Two stationary Sea Dog seaposts are placed on the maps which house liaisons who accept these chests for silver points. Once all the provided maps have been expended, all crews are given another set of maps. The crew that earns the most silver in the 24 minutes wins The Arena match. Pirates score silver for various actions, such as digging and cashing in Sea Dog Chests or battling other players and ships. Silver is a currency only applicable in Arena matches. The reward for placements is awarded in set amounts of gold.
Elements[edit | edit source]
- Each arena game lasts for 24 minutes.
- The arena map is a small circular cut-out of one of the three main regions.
- Every ship is marked on the map with their designated team colours at all times as if they were in an alliance.
- Every ship spawns with their capstan down and sails up.
- Each ship has a set amount of planks, cannonballs and fruits on board. Unlike Adventure mode, Arena ships spawn with Coconuts instead of Bananas, however other fruit are obtainable from Barrels on islands.
- Every crew gets the same Treasure Maps with up to 25 X-marks-the-spots on a single map.
- Sea Dog Chests take only 3 shovel hits to dig up.
- Every Arena map has two turn-in points marked by red smoke pillars.
- Instead of being sent to the Ferry of the Damned, dead pirates will float above their corpse until they re-spawn, giving them a chance to keep an eye on their surroundings even after death.
- Sharks spawn more frequently and attack players more often.
- Not all elements from adventure mode are enabled in The Arena, e.g. Skeletons, Gunpowder Barrels, Cursed Cannonballs or Rowboats, however players can still fish, kill island animals and sharks for their meat and cook them for regenerative effects.
- Curiously, it is possible to scuttle one's ship in Arena, making it possible to easily get out of sticky situations in exchange for 1000 silver.

Tactics[edit | edit source]
Due to the open nature of the Arena battles, there are various ways to secure your victory over other teams. Here are some common and less common tactics:
Basic Tactics[edit | edit source]
Roles and Communication[edit | edit source]
Apart from getting chests and securing as much silver as possible, the most important thing in Arena matches is Communication! If every teammate is able to communicate everything they do and see, then your team will already have a great advantage over other ships that don't. This is more difficult to achieve in Open Crews, often making a Closed Crew much more effective. Before the match starts, it is commonplace to agree upon set Roles for each crewmate. The most common role division is to have two people on deck and two people ready off-deck. Note that the best teams are capable of filling up any of these roles and switching on the fly, depending on the circumstances. The main roles are as follows:
Captain/Helmsman:[edit | edit source]
The Helmsman will take control of the ship and give out sailing, maintenance and battle commands to the rest of the crew. The helmsman should stay on the ship at all times if possible and make sure the ship and sails are positioned correctly. The helmsman should have a good understanding on how to maneuver a Galleon, how to read the world map, the wind and enemy players. At the start of the fight, it is best for the Helmsman to run to the Map Table, check the current maps and prepare a strategy for the current match. The helmsman should take note of enemy ship placements, movements and presumed intentions and be ready to act accordingly. A good Helmsman will always call out the required sail positioning and angle, harpoon, boarding and island duty, when to leave and when to return to the ship, etc. This makes it the most difficult role by far, but if done right, will secure the team a great advantage over other, more unorganised crews.
Deckhand:[edit | edit source]
The deckhand is often disregarded, as the role requires less technical skill, however a good Deckhand is the key to having your ship surviving the toughest odds. A deckhand's job is to help the Helmsman maintain the ship. Their main job is to help angle and maintain the sails, handle the cannons, work on repairs, check ladders for boarders and utilize the Harpoon for better maneuverability of the ship, to tack on to other ships for better positioning or to pick up Sea Dog Chests or other crewmates. Like the Helmsman, a deckhand is generally needed on the ship, unless it is safe enough to send them to help the other crewmates with other duties off-board. A Deckhand who is willing to take over repair duty at a moment's notice will keep the crew's ship afloat and going. The main skills a deckhand should focus on mastering are effective handling of the Harpoon and Sails, Cannon fire and in toughest cases basic close combat skills to ward off any boarders.
Boarder:[edit | edit source]
The Boarder's objective is to master both ship and close combat as they will spend most of their time off the ship, battling and hindering the other crews. A good boarder understands how cannon and ship positioning works as they will need to judge the distances and speeds of other ships to be able to board them safely. If a ship is in firing distance, a boarder should attempt to either aim themselves on a ship or in front of one with the cannon. If a ship is behind or ahead, the boarder will need to either jump or sword lunge themselves onto the other ship. Once on board of the enemy ship, a boarder should focus on lowering their anchor immediately and killing anyone who is trying to either catch or raise the capstan as a lowered anchor effectively makes a ship a sitting duck. Boarders can also focus on guarding the cannonball holes on lower decks to prevent the other crew from repairing their ship. With the exception of Food, boarders should also empty their inventory to steal supplies from other ships. Boarders should also generally focus on stealing the chests of other crews. If a boarder notices chests on board of other ships, it's generally a good idea to try and throw them overboard or hide them in different spots to keep the enemy crew from turning them in. Boarders can also stay low on Sea Dog turn-in points in wait of any crews trying to turn in their chest and attempt to kill them and cash the chest in instead. As seen from above, the main skill a boarder should master is killing other players and stopping them from progressing in the game-mode.
Treasure Hunter/Secondary Boarder/Secondary Deckhand:[edit | edit source]
The fourth main role is a more open one and can generally help out with filling any other role, but their main focus should be to find the Sea Dog Chests hidden on the Islands. The Treasure Hunter should acquaint themselves with compass directions, Island map awareness and combat prowess for defending the chests. A Treasure Hunter should focus on either cannoning or dropping themselves off on marked islands and finding all the Sea Dog Chests buried underground. A good Treasure Hunter should also be capable of defending their chests or keeping other crews from digging up any more chests on islands. They should have a knack for hiding chests and remembering their locations as well as calling out these hiding locations or directions of where chests are placed on the island for the Helmsman and Deckhands to pick up. A valid tactic would be to also steal any of the enemy chests and hiding these stolen chests to keep the other crews from turning in the chests. When there is no treasure to dig up, the Treasure Hunter should focus on helping out their crew with either battling or boarding other ships, maintaining their own ship or helping to turn in chests.
The Start of the Battle[edit | edit source]
It is of utmost importance to get your anchor up and your sails down as soon as the match starts. The ships that get on the move the earliest also have the best advantage on the seas. There is not much of a difference between three and four people on the Capstan, so one of the crew members (preferably the captain/helmsman) should focus on checking the current maps and plotting out a strategy for the match. Make sure everyone has the correct weapons and full supplies before heading out into any combat scenarios. If another crew that spawns close takes their time to get moving, it is possible to have one of your boarders cannon over to stop the adjacent ships from getting far.
Capstan Tactics[edit | edit source]
As mentioned in the previous section, you want to raise your anchor as quick as possible to get ahead on other players. Generally, you never want your anchor to be dropped in Arena as it will make you an easy target for other ships. Conversely, this means that when engaging other ships, you will want to target their anchor first, either by cannonball fire or by sending a boarder over to drop it for them and keep their crew from raising it. There are some situations where you can let your anchor drop, but you must make sure there are no ships even remotely close enough to take advantage of it. One is when you need to turn your ship around in open sea and want to pull an anchor turn. For this you need the helmsman to turn the wheel completely to the desired direction and have the teammates drop the anchor. You must communicate this, as an anchor turn is only as effective as the number of people willing to pull it up again. Anchoring is also an option if you need to make a quick stop at a Sea Dog Chest turn-in point and cannot raise the sails in time or if you have little time left in the match, but again, you need to be wary of other ships. If you are alone on an island you can also anchor and pull it up if you need to stop your ship from moving, but make sure you are in safe waters and that your sails are fully up. At all other times, it is not advisable to drop the anchor and you need to defend it from enemy boarders. You should have your sails up instead, ready to be dropped at a moments notice.
Sail Tactics[edit | edit source]
After raising the anchor, getting your sails down and angled correctly is your second priority at the start of a match. You should ideally have at least two people on board to manage sails as it can be very slow to do alone. Two people raising or angling the same sail will effectively triple or quadruple the speed of the action. If you are sailing into the direction of the wind, it is advisable to go for "dummy sails" or have your sails straight into the wind as it will cut directly through the waves, improving your speed by a little bit. If you can spare some speed, it is also advisable to not lower the middle sail all the way, so that the Helmsman can see ahead of the ship. If nearing a destination, you will want to raise the middle sail first (advisably with two people) as it adds the most speed due to its size. Generally the front or back sail will be raised right after and one or the other will be left down to be able to maneuver around the destination if needed. In most cases, the Helmsman will order the raising of the front sail and will deal with the back sail themselves, however the front sail can be left last instead if you need to move the ship for Harpoon play as it is closer to the harpoons. Be mindful that 3 cannonball hits on a sail will break it, so you can effectively inhibit a ship's movements even further by aiming at its sails after getting its capstan dropped, effectively making it impossible for the enemy ship to move anywhere without clearing their ship of boarders and managing to repair the damage.
Helm Tactics[edit | edit source]
The Helm is both the most necessary and often the most difficult part of the ship to take control of in an Arena game, especially when the crew doesn't have an active and designated Deckhand to help the Helmsman, leaving the helm only half attended as the helmsman deals with the Sails, Cannons and Capstan. Ideally it is best to have the Helmsman on the Wheel at most times, so that they can position the ship while the rest of the crew is dealing with the Sails and the rest of the ship. Also, be mindful that when going through a storm, having one player holding the Wheel steady is an absolute necessity unless you are willing to risk lowering your anchor. Taking on any ships in a storm that are not prepared to steady their ship will give you a massive advantage. Be mindful that like the Capstan and Sails, the Wheel can also sustain cannonball damage, making it very hard to turn the ship. Aiming for the enemy ship's Wheel should not be the primary objective, but can help to hinder their movements.
Supply Management[edit | edit source]
You have plenty of supply on board of your ship. Each Arena Galleon is packed with 180 Cannonballs (60 in each Barrel), 60 Planks and 120 Coconuts (60 in each Barrel) so make sure you have your pockets full before getting into a fight. It is good to call out a reminder to get supplies right after you get your anchor up and sails down. If boarders are confident enough, they can try to board other ships for their supplies. A good time to do this would be right at the beginning of a game if adjacent ships are slow enough to get their anchor up. The Barrels that spawn on islands have the same contents as Adventure mode Barrels (with the exception of Cursed Cannonballs), so you can stock up on better Fruits and even Bait when looking for chests. Be mindful that Sea Dog Chest turn-in points have no supply barrels of any kind, but they do have Cannons on each side so it is advisable to take Cannonballs with you if you can line up a shot from them.
When it comes to food, it is also possible to catch Fish and kill Animals or Sharks for their meat and cook it on board of your ship. This will give Boarders the valuable boost of health regeneration, however there is rarely time in an Arena match to prepare these meals.
As a side-note, it is also possible to get different kind of Bait from Barrels on Islands. Bait is quite useless in Arena when it comes to catching fish, as none of the different fish types provide any additional health benefits. It is however possible to eat a grub to make your pirate sick. If you can manage to aim this at a bucket or an enemy pirate, you will have an additional diversionary tactic against foes at Close Combat.
Ship Combat & Cannon Tactics[edit | edit source]
Ship to Ship Combat is more streamlined in the Arena game mode, as you have neither Cursed Cannonballs nor Gunpowder Barrels, so you have to rely on careful maneuvering, boarding and Cannon fire. When approached by enemy ships, or when approaching one yourself, try to position your ship with your sides either in front or behind their ship. This is fairly easy to achieve if the enemy ship is anchored, so try to get your Boarder on their ship, ready to lower the anchor and guard the enemy team from picking it up, or raising it. Alternatively you can try and aim your cannons towards their Capstan and break it or lower it from splash damage. If you can get all four crew-mates on cannons, hitting a ship at close range, then you are more than likely to sink the enemy ship. This would be the ideal scenario, however games are hardly ever ideal and you will have to guard yourself from enemy cannon fire, have someone on repairs and lose deckhands to boarders or boarding. If you are close to an enemy ship, but do not have the necessary mobility to get to the right angle, have one of your crew-mates grab the ship with a Harpoon. The harpoon is ideal for pulling your ship out of the enemy ship's cannon range or into your own, to keep up in speed with their ship or to simply stop them from moving.
On open seas you have to take the wind position to account and manage your sails accordingly. Since all ships in Arena are Galleons, your maneuverability is equal, but correctly angled sails can make just the right difference to get away from, or catch up with a less-skilled enemy crew.
Also note that if you want to guard Sea Dog Chest turn-in points, it is more advantageous for you to wait for your target to approach you, than it is for you to sail toward them, as they can easily pass you by, losing you the game.
If you are being chased by an enemy ship and want to lose them, try to get your Boarders on their ship unnoticed and have them anchor that ship, or simply keep the crew busy and away from managing their ship.
A good crew will always keep an eye out for mermaids and swimming sounds to spot Boarders and guard their ladders. Make sure you do this as well! Keeping an eye out for Boarders and guarding your ladders should be a top priority as a successful Boarder can easily cost you the game.
The Helmsman and Boarder should communicate ship positioning as sometimes you might need an angle ahead of the enemy ship, so your Boarder can try to Cannon themselves off and catch the moving ship's ladder.
You can also use Cannons on Islands, Forts and the Sea Dog Sea Posts, so make sure you have Cannonballs with you, even when you're off your ship.
When it comes to Cannon fire, depending on the situation, there are three different spots you want to aim for and a good Helmsman will know how to call out the right spot:
- If you want to sink a ship, you will have to aim below deck. The more (and the larger) holes the enemy ship has at different spots below deck, the faster they will go down. For maximum damage, spread out your shots at different parts of the hull, so that the repair crew has more holes to fix. You can also periodically keep hitting the same spot to keep the enemy crew from patching up that one hole and potentially even try to kill them while doing so.
- If you want to hinder a ship's activities, you want to aim top deck. While aiming top-deck does not make a sink ship, you will want to keep their crew away from all the important areas. If you see an enemy pirate going for their cannons, aim at the cannons and see if you can shoot them off or kill them before they get any hits on you. If you want to stop a ship from moving, you will have to prioritise aiming towards their Capstan and staircase. You keep enemies from raising their anchor by aiming at this area, the Capstan loses up to three pins if you keep hitting it. This area is also good to aim at to cover your boarders with cannon fire and to keep the enemy team from moving up or down their top and mid deck. If you want to go the extra mile, you can also aim for the enemy ship's sails and wheel. Each sail takes three hits to be toppled. The wheel can also take up to three hits to keep the enemy ship from turning.
- Your last priority should be to fire the mid-deck of a ship, however there are some advantages to this. Of course, the more holes the enemy ships has on their mid-deck, the faster they will sink after filling up to second level. You can also aim at the ladder area to keep enemy pirates from climbing back on their ship or to cover your own Boarders. The last option is to simply farm points, by hitting a ship mid-deck.
Remember that each Cannonball that hits an enemy ship is worth +25 Silver, so make your shots count. Every cannonball that misses the target is potential 25 points lost, so try to avoid taking pot-shots at ships if you are not sure that you can hit them. This fact is also lost to many players as sometimes, simply stopping your ship next to an idle or anchored ship and emptying all your cannonballs at their ship can get you enough points to win a game. You have 180 cannonballs on a freshly spawned ship. If you hit every single one of those cannonballs, you can get 4500 points. A clever Helmsman can position your ship either right next to an opponent's ship, or just out of range and have the crew offload their cannons on the top deck so that the opposing ship won't sink.
If you feel like your Cannon fire isn't as up to snuff as you'd like, you can practice the firing arc, angles and movement in Adventure mode by trying to hit adjacent islands or rocks when at sea.
Harpoon Tactics[edit | edit source]
The Harpoon is something you want to master as soon as possible for Arena, as it is a very powerful tool for mobility, chest and crew-mate retrieval. The Harpoon can be tricky to aim as it shoots high. You can predict the destination of the Harpoon by imagining a cross-hair at the exact middle of your screen. With enough practice, you will start to gauge the exact spot where the harpoon will hit. Luckily, Sea Dog Chests are large and easy to grab, but wave and ship movement can still make harpooning difficult, so be sure to get some practice in!
If your teammates dig up any chests on an island, it's good to have the ship docked nearby on the island, so that your Treasure Hunters can leave the chests nearby the harpoon to be picked up by Deckhands. You can also retrieve your teammates, enemy players and oddly, even dead bodies. If your teammate is bringing the last chest to your ship, you can tell them to turn their back to the Harpoon, instead of facing it, so you can pick up both them and the chest in their hand at once.
As stated in the previous sections, Harpoons are also very good at maneuvering your ship around. When you are close to islands or larger structures in the sea, you can essentially perform an anchor turn without dropping the anchor, by having the Helmsman turn the wheel to the desired side and having a Deckhand pull the ship around the corner of any harpoonable structure. You can also utilize the Harpoon to pull your ship closer to an island or away from it. The surrounding area of any Island has shallow water, so you can also use the harpoon to turn your ship quicker. Have one of your Deckhands shoot low with the harpoon, grabbing land and pulling you to the desired side.
The Harpoon is also valuable at keeping up with other ships or positioning your ship around them, but watch out, as anyone sitting on a Harpoon is an easy target for cannons or firearms.
Close Combat[edit | edit source]
Despite what some Arena players think, Close Combat is actually the secondary mode of PvP in the Arena. This means that Close Combat alone will not necessarily win you fights. If you have a godly Boarder who can keep a full enemy team busy, then this is absolutely going to give your team an advantage, but a single boarder will not win you the game. This is reflected by the measly +5 Silver that you get from killing an enemy player. Therefore, you should not focus your game plan on simple PvP on board of ships, killing the spawning infinitely (although is is a valid tactic for hindering any real competition). Close Combat should be approached more creatively in an Arena game, as should your weapon choice.
The main situations where close combat is favoured is either when you board or get boarded, or when you need to defend a chest or kill someone digging one up or turning one in. You might also want to leave a Boarder on a turn-in Seapost to catch approaching ships with chests off-guard. This way, your team might be able to steal the chests from their hands and turn it in right there. Despite Boarders doing all the heavy lifting in Close Combat, it is advisable to get practice in this form of PvP regardless of your role, as you will have to defend your own ship or chests from enemy boarders no matter who you play as.
Many pirates swear on the Cutlass as a mainstay of their arsenal. This is due to the increased mobility it offers (Sword lunges can get you off ships, on ships, away from trouble and even kills) and the way how a sword combo stuns the enemy player from taking action if caught in it. If you are favouring a Cutlass, make sure to learn how to block and dodge as well. Generally, Pistols, Eye of Reach and the Blunderbuss are used as secondary weapons, but it is also possible to fight effectively with two guns. For example, you can kill an enemy pirate if you can land both an eye of reach and pistol shot in succession. These firearms are especially good underwater if the enemy is carrying a Cutlass as you can pin them down before they can ever reach you. However, be mindful of your ammo count and refill at the Ammo Chests on ships or islands. The Blunderbuss is a good option for boarding as a full blast from close range can either kill a pirate or knock them back (preferably off their own ship!).
Sea Dog Chests[edit | edit source]
Last, but not least, we get to the main objective of the Arena game-mode: The Sea Dog Chests! These chests will currently earn you a 1000 Silver, meaning that each chest that you turn in, is worth as much as 40 Cannonball hits or effectively a single sinking of your ship. Every crew should prioritise getting as many of these as possible and keeping the other crews from digging up or turning in any of their own. This means that you will have to pay careful attention to the title cards that tell you which team discovered a chest and where their ship or crew-mates are situated. Paying attention to this information, will determine the strategy of your match.
Remember that every competitor in an Arena match has the same Treasure Maps with the same chests. If you can keep an eye on which chests are dug up and where, you can also assume where enemy pirates are located, or where they might hide their chests.
If your ship is in proximity to other contestants or if the Island you are digging on is contested, or far away, then you will want your Treasure Hunters to try and hide the chests for safekeeping. Hiding chests is both a good tactic to keep your chests safe and a way to stop your enemies from cashing in any chests of their own. If you manage to kill an enemy player with a chest and hide the chest from them, then they will have to spend all that extra time to find it. Getting acquainted with any popular hiding spots is also a good skill to have for any Treasure Seeker so that you may be able to find any chests hidden by other players.
A good tactic for a match would be to leave a player on a less profitable island that you are passing by for a more profitable one. You can have your crew-mates cannon or swim off to the island, dig up the chests, hide them and save them for later as a safety net. When enemy teams are inattentive, they will forget about the islands as soon as new maps appear and you can safely return there later for extra points.
There are many places to hide Sea Dog Chests on your ship, so get creative. You do not want Boarders to have an easy time of finding a chest and jumping or dropping off with one. The most popular hiding spots are right behind the Harpoons, between Cannons, in the Captain's Quarters (expert players can even get the chests to stay on top of the door or on the cosmetic shelves!), below deck and on the balconies.
When turning in Sea Dog Chests, consider if there might be any castaway players on the Turn-in point. If the possibility is there, have a player check the seapost for any enemies before you start offloading your chests.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- While it is not possible to take damage or die in the Arena lobby, you will still get the fall damage splash screen when dropping down from heights.
- Many of the features shown in the The Arena trailer did not make it into the game mode, such as Explosive Barrels, The Devil's Roar nor Captain's Chests.
- The barrels on islands contain the same loot table as Adventure mode, making it possible to get Bait for catching different fish, despite different types of fish not providing any sort of advantage in the game mode. Bait does however make the player vomit.
- It is possible to harpoon dead bodies in the Arena.
- The Regal Hound was first called The Midnight Prowl.

Review by LordZemus: Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is an expanded remake of the original Rondo of Blood where you play as Richter Belmont to save the day from Dracula´s plans. While the soundtrack will remain the same throughout the game regardless of which sound module is chosen, the instrumentation may vary and some songs will be arranged slightly differently. She attacks using her doves and one of six sub-weapons: a white tiger kitten, dragon whelp, baby phoenix, turtle, egg or musical notes. As such,it is the classic side-scroller action game that you may or may not remember from your youth, depending on your age. It contains all of the special items and sub-weapons from the original game, as well as an exclusive rare item known as the laurel, which refills six health blocks for 10 hearts.
While exploring the castle, Richter can rescue four maidens, including his distant relative Maria Renard who then becomes a playable character. An increased amount of damage taken from enemies in earlier levels as well as new enemy placement and attack patterns were just a few things to make the second playthrough more difficult. This includes a brand new rendered intro and ending, with new character designs by for Simon Belmont and Dracula, improved graphical effects, enhanced music and sound effects, and a more balanced and adjustable difficulty level. Previous Castlevania games had increased difficulty for the game's. This game is also notable for its high difficulty level. The other drawback is the lack of an internal clock on the PlayStation.
Description: Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is a Platformer 2D video game published by Konami released on February 15, 2008 for the PlayStation Portable. The entire game is completely updated, including familiar stages that have been redesigned, as well as brand new stages altogether. Go from left to right,whip enemies, collect power ups for yourwhip, sub-weapons and hearts to use them and die a lot. All in all, if you cdesperately crave some old-school Castlevania action, give this one a spin and you won't be disppointed. . Castlevania Chronicles is a remake of the original for the , where the vampire hunter must defeat and save Transylvania.
It is a port of a game originally released for the in 1993 as simply Akumajō Dracula. A code must be entered to reach it in either mode in the U. One noticeable difference is the brief loading times that now appear before boss fights and stages. Scene: title screen, staff credits. This game, however, has as many as six additional playthroughs with each one becoming much more difficult than the last. It was made available for download via the as a on December 18, 2008.
A great platformer game with quite a lot of content to unlock that will keep you entertained for quite some time! The game is known in Japan as Akumajō Dracula X Chronicle. That said, the game has a few extras. Gameplay The objective is to guide the primary player character Richter Belmont through nine stages, with four alternate routes, as he searches for his kidnapped beloved Annette and ultimately confronts Dracula in his castle. If you were expecting an advnture in the vein of Sympohny of the Night, you'd be mistaken. These were fixed for the U.
There is also a hidden sound module option that is missing in Castlevania Chronicles. Explore the origins of the franchise with one of the first Castlevania games ever created. Audio-wise, the Japanese version of Chronicles had slowdown issues with the music playback. Richter makes use of a whip as his main weapon and one of six sub-weapons: an axe, a dagger, holy water, a grimoire, a pocket watch, and a cross. This is one tough game, however not unfairly hard. Like the original Castlevania game, hidden items worth points and hidden 1-ups will appear throughout the game if the player ducks or stands in particular portions of a level. Archived from on August 19, 2013.
This Castlevania Chronicles port adds a number of features, including an Arranged Mode for new players. Even though it's easier than the original it's still challenging and fun. There's remixed background music and some slight changes, which aren't very noticeable. She is more agile, can do a double jump, and can do twice the amount of damage that Richter does in each normal attack because the doves she shoots out return to her and therefore can do a second hit of damage on the way back, but she takes much more damage each time she is hit than Richter does when he is hit. Description: Castlevania Chronicles for the PlayStation features all the elements that made Castlevania one of the premier gaming franchises in video game history: superior 2-D Dracula-hunting gameplay, awe-inspiring music, and plenty of extras that every hard-core Castlevania enthusiast must own. .

CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - The portrait of a Confederate leader inside a Chesterfield hotel is sparking some debate.
It wasn't the average stay at a hotel Olga Mirmanova was expecting.
"That made me immediately feel uncomfortable," Mirmanova said.
The Fredricksburg resident was in Richmond for a business trip and says she got an unexpected surprise.
"As I walk into the room, I saw a statue of J.E.B Stewart on the wall," Mirmanova said.
It was the portrait of a Confederate leader inside her room at the DoubleTree by Hilton, near the Chesterfield Town Center, that Olga said offended her.
"Hilton presents themselves as a chain that has hospitality, so for me, it was like they aren't showing hospitality because they are supposed to be neutral," she said.
It wasn't just Mirmanova, another recent guest complained by leaving a review online. At least five others have spoken out on the issue in just the past six months.
Hotel management released the following statement:
"Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Richmond-Midlothian is very proud to be apart of the Richmond community. Inspired by the cities rich history the hotel features artwork depicting local Richmond scenes and landmarks."
It's no secret Richmond has a complicated past with the Confederacy. Hotel management said the property was renovated a few years ago and that's when the company in charge of decorating added the artwork.
Mirmanova said she doesn't just want the paintings removed but better training for staff.
"Do they have diversity on their leadership team? Because I would assume if they had diversity on the team, you aren't going to have these issues," Mirmanova said.
Management said they will consider removing the portraits in the future when they renovate the property again.
As for future trips back to Richmond, Mirmanova says she has found somewhere else to stay.
"No, no. This time I didn't stay and I cancelled my reservations," she said.

yeah the paint is fine, and I didnt want to use one of the methods of drilling the tank or filling the dent. I was hoping there would be a fix I could do myself, such as one of the bent rods to push the dent out from inside the tank or some type of suction cup thing
I have a couple tiny tiny ones in the tank I'm using on my project. I'm just having them glazed (bondo) and the tank painted to match my body kit. If your tank is really nice and it didn't break the paint, I would call one of the paintless dent removal places like what was suggested by others

Projects of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar are funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Free State of Thuringia, represented by the State Chancellery of Thuringia, Department of Culture and the Arts.
The Renaissance-style moated castle was built around 1600 on the site of a medieval fortress. The Barons von Stein purchased the estate in 1733 and had considerable renovation work done to the buildings. Charlotte von Stein and her eldest son Carl made Kochberg Castle an artistic and social centre in the late 18th and early 19th century.
The last private owner of the castle and estate was Count Woldemar von Schwerin, a nephew of Felix von Stein who passed away in 1938. The East German communist party seized the property as part of its land reform scheme in 1945. Following transferral of ownership to the Countesses von Schwerin, the Free State of Thuringia and the Cultural Foundation of German States purchased the cultural assets in 2014.
Kochberg Castle was placed under the management of the National Research and Memorial Sites of Classic German Literature in Weimar (NFG) in 1964, a predecessor institution of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. The NFG carried out extensive renovations and restoration of the manor from 1968 until the castle museum opened in 1975.

Try upping your fiber intake—it may work just as well as following a strict diet. In an American Heart Association study, one group was instructed to follow a diet with strict nutrient goals and limits on calories, sugar, and saturated fat, while the other group was given one goal: consume 30 grams of fiber a day. At the end of the 3-month study, both groups lost weight and improved their heart health, showing that losing weight may be as easy as filling up on more fiber.
Weight Watchers, The Mayo Clinic Diet, and especially Noom provide a lot of behavior-based support to integrate these good habits. These include learning portions, logging food, and both giving and receiving external support. Nutrisystem doesn't ask for any behavior changes save for subsisting almost entirely off their pre-packaged, pre-portioned meals.
It's no surprise that Dr. Dean Ornish's program is such a powerful tool for weight loss, considering its easy adaptability as a lasting lifestyle. The diet is mostly plant-based, keeps sodium intake in moderation, and limits coffee to a cup a day (two cups decaf) — so if you're looking to lose weight while keeping your java flow, you may want to consider another plan.
Preferred tastes: Think about whether the foods on a given diet are things that you generally enjoy. If you hate eating your greens, you might not like a diet filled with salads; but if you have a sweet tooth, a diet that substitutes milkshakes for meals might be more up your alley. Ask yourself whether you will enjoy the foods on a given diet, or if it will feel like a "diet" food that you won't be able to stick with long-term.
Given that all participants in the study were overweight and "healthy", what was not studied, and could have been very useful, was what was the impact of the two diets on participants' blood sugars (HbA1c), insulin levels, and on some measure of inflammation. It is possible that there could have been little difference in weight loss between the two diets but big differences in the impact on risk factors related to diabetes.
"Sleep is a cornerstone of weight management because of the impact it has on your hormones that control how you burn fat, how you store fat, and how you're maintaining muscle. The better your hormone balance, the better your weight management. I work my butt off to get eight hours a night, but right now I'm at six—the show is murdering me! Even if I go to bed early my son wakes up."
If you're eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, odds are you are getting the necessary vitamins and minerals you need to help boost weight-loss and lose weight fast. But it's also a good idea to take vitamins that can supplement your diet; B vitamins (especially B2 and B12) can boost energy, vitamin D can regulate appetite and aid in weight loss, and magnesium can trigger lipolysis, a process where your body releases fat from where it's stored.
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the placenta after implantation, and doctors sometimes prescribe it for fertility issues. But this hormone has also gained popularity as a weight-loss supplement — and using it as such can be dangerous. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against purchasing over-the-counter hCG, as these supplement products are illegal. (34)
Similar to the CICO diet, the Body Reset has gained popularity via social media, and there isn't any definitive research that suggests the approach is safe and effective. Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak created the plan, which is essentially a three-phase liquid diet comprised of smoothies and moderate exercise. While U.S. News notes you may lose weight on the diet, it may be tough to stick with, and isn't safe for people with diabetes and heart disease. (38)
Lifestyle fit: Think about how much time and planning goes into each weight loss program. Some people will find that meal planning and preparation takes too long to fit into their busy lifestyle, while others will have the time to commit to a more demanding plan. Figure out whether a plan is compatible with your lifestyle before committing. Some meal plans are very simple; others require more work.
Eating is for nutrition. This study analyzes weight loss, but not nutrition. I would be interested in which diet meant people had no vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Many people who eat low carbohydrate eat few vegetables and fruit because of their carbo content. I have a difficult time believing that is healthy. The extreme, of course, is the Ketogenic diet.
Cortisone as an oral drug is another common culprit (e.g. Prednisolone). Cortisone often causes weight gain in the long run, especially at higher doses (e.g. more than 5 mg Prednisolone per day). Unfortunately, cortisone is often an essential medication for those who are prescribed it, but the dose should be adjusted frequently so you don't take more than you need. Asthma inhalers and other local cortisone treatments, like creams or nose sprays, hardly affect weight.
In what is perhaps the biggest buzzkill of all time, sex doesn't quite count as cardio or burn a significant amount of calories: Women burn about 3.6 per minute. "It's still a good idea," Dr. Seltzer says, citing the activity's other benefits, like increasing the output of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, which naturally reduce food cravings.
Hairballs are a fact of life for many cat owners, especially those with longhaired felines in their lives. The AvoDerm Hairball & Weight Control Cat Food is a great choice for pet parents who find themselves cleaning up hairballs far too often. AvoDerm is made with avocados, which have been known to promote a healthy coat in pets. The top ingredients in AvoDerm are chicken and rice, so it's not a grain-free choice. AvoDerm has 5% fiber, which aids in digestion and helps reduce hairballs.
Stephen Colbert may be on to something. UCLA Center for Human Nutrition researchers divided study participants into two groups, each of which were fed a nearly identical low-cal diet for 12-weeks. The only difference between the groups was what they were given to eat as an afternoon snack. One group ate 220-calories of pretzels while the other group munched on 240-calories worth of pistachios. Just four weeks into the study, the pistachio group had reduced their BMI by a point, while the pretzel-eating group stayed the same, and their cholesterol and triglyceride levels showed improvements as well.
Mason, A. E., Epel, E. S., Aschbacher, K., Lustig, R. H., Acree, M., Kristeller, J., … Daubenmier, J. (2016, May 1). Reduced reward-driven eating accounts for the impact of a mindfulness-based diet and exercise intervention on weight loss: Data from the SHINE randomized controlled trial. Appetite , 100, 86–93. Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4799744/
But the whole idea of fast weight loss may be the root of the problem. According to a Time expose on the subject: "When people are asked to envision their perfect size, many cite a dream weight loss up to three times as great as what a doctor might recommend." An improbable and disheartening goal, and one that obscures the truth that losing small amounts of weight — even ten pounds — still has great health benefits.
"Your specific [weight loss] program may differ from someone else's based on climate, geography, heredity, the quality of the food you're buying, the volume in which you're eating that food, and so much more. A lot people take advice that doesn't honor themselves. What works for me is not going to work for you. It's just not. So really, it's [about] having an honest look at who you are, what your tendencies and triggers are, and how you can build a program that revolves around that."
At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That's nearly 90,000 calories a year—or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the calories, sugary drinks don't trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does.
There are many benefits to feeding a cat a wet food diet. Cats that are prone to UTIs are great candidates for wet food. Wet food has also been shown to reduce obesity and diabetes in cats, often because many dry foods contain fatty fillers. Hill's Science Diet Adult Light canned cat food is a great choice for a low-calorie wet cat food. It contains high levels of natural fiber, which help to keep your cat feeling full all day. Because a wet food diet requires scheduled meal times (instead of grazing), it can help you better maintain a stricter calorie diet. Do note that Hill's Science does contain pork by-products, but due to the high quality of other ingredients in Adult Light, we still think it's a great choice for a low-calorie wet food.
How much fiber should I eat per day? Most Americans eat less fiber than the USDA daily recommendations suggest. This article looks at the guidelines for fiber intake in men, women, and children. We also talk about how fiber can help with weight loss, and discuss how much fiber is too much. Learn about good sources of dietary fiber and a handy meal plan. Read now
Not a jock? Find other ways to fit activity into your day: walk to school, jog up and down the stairs a couple of times before your morning shower, turn off the tube and help your parents in the garden, or take a stroll past your crush's house — anything that gets you moving. Your goal should be to work up to 60 minutes of exercise every day. But everyone has to begin somewhere. It's fine to start out by simply taking a few turns around the block after school and building up your levels of fitness gradually.
Fathi, Y., Faghih, S., Zibaeenezhad, M. J., & Tabatabaei, S. H. (2016, February). Kefir drink leads to a similar weight loss, compared with milk, in a dairy-rich non-energy-restricted diet in overweight or obese premenopausal women: A randomized controlled trial.

The authors wanted to compare low-fat vs. low-carb diets, but they also wanted to study genetic and physical makeups that purportedly (their word) could influence how effective each type of diet will be for people. Previous studies had suggested that a difference in a particular genetic sequence could mean that certain people will do better with a low-fat diet. Other studies had suggested that insulin sensitivity may mean that certain people will do better with a low-carb diet.
"You also can gain up to several pounds, depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle," Zied says. Estrogen encourages bloating by stimulating the kidneys to retain sodium. If you're taking oral contraceptives, note that older prescriptions containing higher doses of estrogen can cause more bloating than the new, lower-dose pills. (Some studies show no difference in water-weight gain between a low-dose oral contraceptive and a placebo.)
Your body needs a certain amount of essential vitamins and minerals to function properly. What happens when you don't get enough of them? What happens when you eat too little food, or when the food you eat isn't sufficiently nutritious? Perhaps our bodies catch on and reply by increasing hunger levels. After all – if we eat more, we increase the chances of consuming enough of whatever nutrient we are lacking.
You've heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you keep focusing on things you can't do, like resisting junk food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won't do them. Instead (whether you believe it or not) repeat positive thoughts to yourself. "I can lose weight." "I will get out for my walk today." "I know I can resist the pastry cart after dinner." Repeat these phrases and before too long, they will become true for you.
You're probably eating more sugar than you realize. The average person takes in 22 teaspoons of sugar a day—more than three times the amount suggested by the American Heart Association. The white stuff is added to foods that don't even taste sweet, such as breads, condiments, and sauces. Read food labels carefully: ingredients are listed in the order of how much is in the food, so if sugar is near the top, put it back on the shelf.
The plan is simple: Commit to two weeks of restricted dieting, then transfer to a sustainable regime. Phase one: Cut out restaurant food, added sugar, eating while watching TV, snacking on anything other than fruits and veggies, and limit meat and dairy. You're also asked to add four healthy habits, simple tweaks like having a good breakfast every morning.
Your New Year's resolution diet should be based on a well-balanced eating plan that fits your lifestyle, rather than a weird fad replete with food restrictions. That's according to U.S. News & World Report's best diet rankings for 2018. The two diets that tied for the top spot -- the Mediterranean Diet and the DASH Diet -- fit that bill because they feature real food and reasonable, flexible guidelines, experts said.
Wouldn't it be great if life came with a magic remote control that made the bad parts speed up and the good parts slow down? You could hit FF at the beginning of every workday, and RWD at the end of awesome date. All the vacations, holidays and parties could move at the pace of a Kenny G song, and all the endless conference calls could spin by faster than Nicki Minaj's hairstyles.
Make sure that the diet has been studied extensively for safety — and discuss any changes with your physician or registered dietitian before beginning a new diet. (If you don't have a dietitian, find one in your area at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website.) And do a self-check to ensure the diet fits with your own values and preferences.
This could be because the body increases insulin secretion in anticipation that sugar will appear in the blood. When this doesn't happen, blood sugar drops and hunger increases. Whether this chain of events regularly takes place is somewhat unclear. Something odd happened when I tested Pepsi Max though, and there are well-designed studies showing increased insulin when using artificial sweeteners.
The researchers hypothesize that participants who abstained from animal products dropped significantly more pounds since plant-based foods include loads of filling fiber and slow-to-digest complex carbs. Though more research is needed to confirm these results, the study authors write, "Vegetarian diets appeared to have significant benefits on weight reduction compared to non-vegetarian diets."
Starting a weight-loss journey can be tough, especially if you're giving up a lot of things you love. Shannon Hagen's secret to staying positive while losing weight? "I never think of it as giving things up, that makes me feel deprived," she says. "Instead I focus on adding in one small healthy change at a time, until it becomes a habit." For instance, instead of being bummed over not having your usual bowl of ice cream before bed, try a new healthy dessert recipe to add to your file.
Hairballs are a fact of life for many cat owners, especially those with longhaired felines in their lives. The AvoDerm Hairball & Weight Control Cat Food is a great choice for pet parents who find themselves cleaning up hairballs far too often. AvoDerm is made with avocados, which have been known to promote a healthy coat in pets. The top ingredients in AvoDerm are chicken and rice, so it's not a grain-free choice.

Sure, you certainly need to drink plenty of water to help expedite the process of ridding your body of excess sodium, you can (and should!) also consume high-water content foods. Reach for cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, asparagus, grapes, celery, artichokes, pineapple, and cranberries — all of which contain diuretic properties that will also help you stay full due to their higher fiber content.
Fresh, in-season produce gives you the biggest nutritional boost, but frozen veggies come in a close second. Very shortly after being picked, these fully ripe veggies are frozen, allowing them to lock in many of their nutrients. Having a stash of veggies in your icebox makes healthy eating on the fly oh-so-easy—and reduces the chance you'll order in a pizza.
The data behind its efficacy is strong; according to a systematic meta-analysis of scientific studies published in 2004 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a 3×120 mg per day dose of orlistat nearly doubles the likelihood that you'll achieve what doctors deem "clinically significant" weight loss over the course of a year on the supplement. This amounts to ten percent of your body mass (2).
In a new study, Stanford University researchers put more than 600 overweight adults on either a healthy low-fat or low-carb diet. It turns out, participants had similar levels of weight loss success on each plan. Researchers looked for clues (such as insulin levels and gene patterns) to see if there are any factors that might make someone more successful on either diet, but after combing through the data, they were not able to make any connections. Since it may take years before scientists discover individual traits that could lead to more success on one plan compared to another, for now, we can learn a lot — and lose a lot! — by recognizing the dieting advice that all experts agree on.
Experts agree that the more tools and guidance you have on this journey, the smoother your trip will be. Some weight loss programs offer services like in-person coaching, full meal plans, prepackaged foods and online support. By considering the different programs, you can find the program that works best with your current lifestyle. Once you've found the right plan, commit to it. You'll get back as much as you put into it.
Forgive yourself. So you were going to have one cracker with spray cheese on it and the next thing you know the can's pumping air and the box is empty? Drink some water, brush your teeth, and move on. Everyone who's ever tried to lose weight has found it challenging. When you slip up, the best idea is to get right back on track and don't look back.
If you're not drinking green tea with your workouts, you might be wasting your time at that barre class. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that after just two weeks, exercisers who sipped four to five cups of green tea each day and logged 25-minutes at the gym lost more belly fat than their non-tea-drinking counterparts. What makes the drink so powerful? It contains catechins, an antioxidant that hinders the storage of belly fat and aids rapid weight loss. And that's not the only weight loss elixir out there: Discover more details and drop two sizes with these 4 Teas That Melt Fat Fast.
Some antidepressant medications can cause weight gain, especially the older tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as Tryptizol, Saroten, and Clomipramine; as well as newer drugs such as Remeron (Mirtazapine). Lithium (for manic-depressive disorder) often causes weight gain. The most common antidepressants known as SSRI's (for example Citalopram and Sertraline) usually don't impact weight significantly.

"These diets are so restrictive that of course you're going to lose weight fast because you're not eating enough calories to sustain basic activities of your body, let alone any exercise. That's nothing that any person can sustain for the long term," Hogan said. "The weight's going to come back if you do lose any weight, and then it's going to be harder to lose weight in the future."
"Every morning I drink a cup of warm water with half a lemon squeezed into it, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and a dash of cayenne pepper," says Michelle Keough. This helps her start her day off on a healthy note while getting her hydrated after a long night. This trick, combined with eating meals built around protein and veggies, helped her lose 20 pounds and keep it off.
The Biggest Loser program has come under attack with recent revelations that its amazing, as-seen-on-TV results are both pharmaceutically assisted and likely to reverse. Living proof that the medical community's understanding of weight loss is still evolving: The diet still stands in third place on US News' & World Report's list for Best Fast Weight Loss.
