Facebook Launches the Complete Snap Clone: Flash
By Alex Neil Posted Nov 09, 2016 in Facebook News/ social media
Tired of cloning different Snap features in its different apps including Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, Facebook is now launching a full-on Snap clone and it's called Flash. Flash is just like Snap without any change in design.
The goal is to introduce this app in the emerging markets, where Snap hasn't quite setup a hold on people yet. It's too late for Facebook to appeal to teenagers in the U.S. and Canada with the 60 million active Snap users in those areas. But what about other markets where Snap hasn't gotten yet?
The biggest advantage that Flash has over Snap is the app size. Flash offers all the Snap-like features including photos, videos, filters and masks but all of this comes in a mere 25MB app. That is three times less than Snap which is about 75MB in size.
While this size may not matter in the western countries, it holds huge importance in developing countries where most of the people don't have luxurious smart phones and huge data plans with limitless bandwidth. Apps with small size appeal to those people because they use less internet bandwidth while not taking over the whole phone's storage.
For now, Flash is being launched in Brazil. Facebook has not revealed the next target audience yet. Facebook has tried to offer competitive apps like Poke and Slingshot in the past but now Facebook seems to be on the right track. Let's see if Flash manages to achieve its goal or it, too, disappears in the void, never to be seen again.

The Laurelhurst Beach Club was incorporated in 1923 for the purpose of creating a beach club for the residents of Laurelhurst. In the spirit of or our shared "neighborhood back yard" the LBC Board of Directors have agreed to a code of behavior for all members and their guests, in the following four ways to include:
Respect for the LBC Staff.
Respect for your neighbors and their guests.
Respect for the LBC name and facility.
Respect for oneself.
What's the difference between the Rules and the Code of Respect?
LBC rules are in place, they refer to things like no running, no pets, no smoking etc. They are black and white and need to be supported by the membership for both safety and a better managed facility. Please review them with your family and guests so all are aware.
The LBC Code of Respect directs how we treat and cohabitate with one another. Further examples that support the code include:
- Safety first at all times. Bring any safety concerns to the attention of the manager on duty.
- Support the guest policy for everything it is meant to allow and respectfully prevent.
- Welcome new members and guests , share in the best practices on how we utilize the club.
- Abide by the process and procedures in place, high dive, check out float etc…
- Leave your space better than when you found it.
- Pick up after yourself and remind others to do the same, it's okay to make mention.
- Recognize adults first for beach/lawn chairs and picnic space.
- Recognize that the LBC is a privilege and not an entitlement.
- If something seems obviously wrong or inappropriate report it immediately or try to remedy the situation yourself.
- Do not tolerate profanity or disrespect to anyone.
If you have a concern or suggestion share it with firstname.lastname@example.com.

For those planning to get hitched later this year, the New York Bridal Week has some amazing creations that you can feast your eyes on! The Spring / Summer 2013 collection (yes…a whole year in advance) featured some prominent bridal wear designers like Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Claire Pettibone, Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, and Alfred Angelo. (image 1) The show not only marked the beginning of the bridal season across the world but also provided a glimpse of some hot trends for brides this season.
The season kick started with Vera Wang's Chinese inspired line of bridal wear called "Mei Meng" or "Beautiful Dream".
The collection features beautiful nontraditional gowns in vibrant shades of red, in designs perfect for a Fairy tale wedding. (a good option for the unconventional and soon to be bride Angelina Jolie we think). Vera Wang wasn't the only one to add some color to the virginal white gown. While Amsale showcased dresses in mauve, Alfred Angelo's black and white gowns were simply amazing!
Oscar de la Renta also showcased some beautiful gowns in blue and red hues and some very pretty flower girl dresses.
Apart from his gorgeous creations, Oscar de la Renta also created ripples in the fashion world when he posted backstage shots of every bridal look complete with close ups of jewelry and garment detail on the popular networking sites Pinterest and Twitter, before it even hit the ramp! We simply love this union of technology and Fashion.
Monique Lhuillier's collection featured white ensembles with a hint of blush pink and white Chantilly lace along with shimmering beads, sequins and appliqués.
We simply love the play of colors in Oscar de la Renta's white floral gown with a pale blue trail and Maggi Sottero's blush pink wedding gown!
Apart from bridal wear, the evening also saw a lot of options for evening wear, Ballgowns, cocktail dresses, bridesmaids' and flower girl dresses.
Liberal use of colors was seen in most of the bridal wear showcased this season. With so many designers opting for colored gowns, we definitely see this as a trend for brides next year. Also in vogue, was the use of lace in bridal wear with many collections prominently featuring lace veils, bodices, shrugs, sleeves and other lacy creations. Short flirty hemlines, cap sleeves, peplum skirts are some other emerging trends for spring summer 2013. Which of the upcoming brides will be seen sporting one of these trends? Lets wait and watch.

Should I use a new custom titanium rigid 29er or a beater Hoo Koo E Koo hardtail for Moab? All the pics and vids show slickrock, (that scream out for fitness and losing every ounce possible on body and bike), or 4 foot plus drops that I'm not interested in. The text usually says something like "I would never use a 4" travel full suspension. Moab needs at least a 6" travel bike". Would someone please compare Moab to the the only trails I've ridden on the 29er - Blue Sky, Stout (in HMP) and Foothills? The razor sharp square edged ledges on the east side of Foothills trail are a real ***** w/o sus. but I don't think I could ride it with any bike. Is Moab full of square edged rocks? Is full suspension only necessary for the drops? I've ridden many hundreds of miles in soft desert sand in Anza Borrego and slick rock in the Sierra Nevada Mtns. where rigid would be fine but for Moab??..........
thanks, doug

I enjoyed reading this editorial but whether it is the right thing to do or not I am sure that it is not realistic to expect president Bush to specifically condemn the attacks on John Kerry.
One of the major differences between those attacks and the ones aimed at the president is that the attacks aimed at the president were happening before John Kerry was even chosen as the Democratic nominee so nobody could say that he is orchestrating them. The complaint that George Bush is behind these attacks is unfounded. He does not need to be behind them to get people to attack John Kerry. The fact of the matter is that radical Republicans don't like John Kerry any more than radical democrats like George Bush.

Gave him the your such an azzhole sometimes look and said Why would you do that??? We spend most of the year getting up early all week for school and having full days and you can't let them enjoy their break?? Boy you sure know how to ruin a vacation says me! He says Boy you sure know how to ruin my morning For some reason he thinks they are stuck in front of the tv and it's going to melt their innards. I don't know why because they aren't here all day. They wake up late sure 1030 or so then they have Huntington learning center for two hour then they have to do their chores then it's time for dinner and THEN they get to sit in front of the tv or go to a friends house. Is it me?? Am I to easy on them? Or do you let your kids rest easy when they are on break??

"Carbon-Free/Nuclear-Free by 2040!" – or, we're toast.
On a cold, wet, windy Saturday in April, 17 NEIS supporters marched
in the People's Climate March in Chicago to convey a simple message: "You Can't 'Nuke' Global Warming!"
What started out as a 40⁰ drizzly gray day turned into a colder, windier incessant downpour by the time the march from Federal Plaza in Chicago's south downtown area to Trump Tower at the north end kicked off.
The weather did not deter NEIS from making a very visible display with flags, banners, signs and radiation suits. Supporters had time to talk with many of those who gathered for the march about some of the reasons why nuclear power is not well suited to help in the climate crisis fight:
- Its WAY MORE expensive than other viable alternative means of reducing carbon in the atmosphere, such as energy efficiency;
- Reactors take too long to deploy in sufficient numbers to make any meaningful impact on atmospheric carbon levels when it's needed;
- It takes money and resources away from expanding renewable energy and energy efficiency;
- Nuclear utilities like Exelon are manipulatively using the climate issue as justification to keep old, uneconomic reactors that should be closing in operation instead by getting state subsidies and bailouts, which cripple a more rapid deployment of renewables.
- None of the main problems historically facing nuclear power – cost, waste, proliferation, potential terrorism – have been solved. Adding more nuclear reactors just worsens these problems.
The REAL solution is to embrace a national energy policy that has as its goal becoming carbon free and nuclear free by 2040, as is laid out in the IEER book by the same title (available for free in PDF format online here.)
The NEIS Board and staff are very grateful for and proud of the people who marched for safe energy and a less-nuclear world.
Some video of NEIS in the March:

(1) Kid: Guess what! I woke up at 5 am all by myself and got dressed!
Outside Voice: You did! Oh my goodness I'm so proud of you! Look how you picked out that shirt I didn't know you still had! And that belt? Come here and give me a big hug. What a big boy you are.
Inside Voice: 5 am? Tonight I'll be paying for that. And you look oddly like a lobster.
(2) Kid: Mom? Can you sit with us and watch this television show with us?
Outside Voice: Of course. Let me finish this round of dishes and I'll be there. I love spending time with you.
Inside Voice: God-forsaken Disney shows. I hate them. I'd rather gouge out my eyeballs with a butter knife. Maybe if I take a really long time with the dishes they will forget all about my existence.
(3) Kid: The noodles in this soup are big. It has too much pepper. I don't like how big the chicken chunks are.
Outside voice: I know, honey. But do the best you can. Be sure to pick out some carrots and eat those. They are good for your eyes!
Inside Voice: What the hell, kid. When I was your age my mom warmed up Campbell's soup from a can and this is made from bone broth and roasted chicken. There are kids in Haiti that eat dirt and here you are complaining of the SIZE OF THE FREAKING NOODLES.
(4) Kid: I have a test today. I know we are on the way to school but can I borrow your phone so I can look up this thing I'm supposed to know?
Outside Voice: You are just now telling me this? You should have studied last night! Here, let me look it up on Google. Read it and repeat it to me out loud. We'll discuss it on the way.
Inside Voice: I'm too old for this.
(5) Kid: I love you, mommy. You're the best mommy in the world.
Outside voice: That's so sweet. But you can't have any more oreos.
Inside Voice: I never, ever get tired of hearing this. Please don't ever stop saying it. I love you more than anything, ever. More than anything else in the whole world. Please don't grow up and just stay this way forever. You melt my heart so.
(6)Kid: But he hit me and walked in and grabbed my lip gloss without asking and I told him to get out and –
Other Kid: Nu-uh! That's not what happened! I simply was walking in to say it was time for breakfast and she threw something at me and —
Outside Voice: Enough! You both are whiny babies! Grow up! What if the other sibling died a tragic death and you were forever filled with guilt and this was your last conversation? When will you understand how privileged you are to have a sibling who loves you and this home and this life and this house and all the things? HUH? WHEN? TO YOUR ROOMS IMMEDIATELY!
Inside Voice: Oh crap. I said all that out loud.
Sometimes the lines are blurred. One day at a time, folks. One day at a time.

A few weeks ago I received a Keurig 2.0, compliments of Influenster. This is by far my favorite blogger gift that has arrived in the mail.
The new Keurig 2.0 can brew a single cup or a carafe (which is perfect to share with my roommates). My favorite feature is that there are 10 different brew sizes from 4 oz. to 30 oz. I received the K550 model which also has a hot water on demand feature and an impressive 80 oz. water reservoir. There are also adjustable strength and auto-brew settings. The touch screen display allows you to pick a wallpaper and reservoir light color, which is pretty cool.
All of the customizable settings allow me to brew my perfect cup of coffee or tea. The only complaint I have is that the 2.0 will not accept old Keurig k-cups. It only accepts the new k-cups that have a white rim, but no big deal. In addition to the k-cups and k-carafes that came with the machine, I ordered Cinnabon coffee and vanilla chai tea. They are both subtly sweet and delicious.
If you'd like an invite to Influenster so you too can review amazing new products, comment on this post with your email.


text: Does anyone buy into the idea of the Quality Index as published on www.racquetresearch.com? According to this site, a racquet can be judged using the formula M * r^2 / I (M = racquet mass, r = balance, I = swingweight). I tried this formula on 24 racquets using data from TW. The lowest score (best) went to the Volkl DNX 10 Mid which had a score of 0.97. The next lowest went to the ProKennex Kinetic Pro 7G (1.01). Both of these racquets are reported to be "arm friendly". Just wondering if there is any merit to this Quality Index approach? I'm looking for a more arm friendly racquet to help my aching elbow. Thanks in advance. Mark

(Critical Edition of Young Adult Fiction)
The Day Lincoln Was Shot serves as a biography for young adults because it provides important insights into the character traits of Lincoln and into his death. It also reveals something about Booth and a number of other figures of the period, as it gives an in-depth portrait of a significant event in their lives. It is also a history book, as the assassination of President Lincoln, by its very nature, was a painful conclusion to a tragic period in American history. The event has also raised much speculation among historians about its effect on the aftermath of the Civil War. The Day Lincoln Was Shot is valuable because it predicts some of the problems that were to arise regarding Reconstruction. As it sets forth Lincoln's resolve to facilitate the country's return to peace in a painless and humane way, the book also portrays Vice President Andrew Johnson's many character flaws, foretelling the difficulties that he was to encounter as president.
Bishop's use of detail adds immeasurably to the readability of The Day Lincoln Was Shot. In describing Ford's Theatre as it appeared just prior to the assassination, he writes that "gas jets in light-colored bowls were bracketed around the walls of the theater, and over the stage." Such a realistic description does not present the scene in an ominous light, even though it serves to foreshadow the irony of an actor's choice of a theater for what was to be his final...

Though the holiday season is in full blast, Tech students are still studying away as winter quarter has just begun.
However, there is no fear of letting the Grinch steal Tech's cheer because Tuesday night Union Board hosted Tech the Halls.
Heather Heflin, a junior accounting major, said Tech the Halls helped her relax and clear her head as the heat and stress of winter quarter piles on.
"Tech the Halls is just a great idea," she said. "It is a phenomenal way to get students' minds off their studies for a while and be put in the holiday spirit."
This year's Tech the Halls theme was "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" so as students and Ruston community members entered "Whoville," holiday music blared overhead.
Heflin said she loved the theme because everyone dressed up as Whoville community members for the celebration, and Santa, Mrs. Clause and the Grinch even came out to party.
However the costumes were not the only entertainment; there was an ice skating rink, photo booth, Campus skins booth, photo dry erase board booth and live music all inside the Tonk.
If that was not enough, upstairs guests could enjoy building a stuffed animal, decorating a gingerbread man, making an ornament or even watching the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Tom Stringer, a freshman business major, said he liked the gingerbread booth the best because the cookies tasted delicious.
"Everything is really creative," he said. "It is definitely a fun way to get the students involved, out of their rooms and into the holiday spirit."
If there were not enough sweet Christmas treats inside, guests could take their newly-made bear outside to make s'mores and admire the Christmas lights and blow-up decorations as they rode the train around the quad.
"It is very evident that Union Board put a lot of planning and preparation into this event," Stringer said.
Alana Crump, a senior political science and English double major, helped plan Tech the Halls this year and said that it was better than ever.
"I cannot even explain how much work went into planning Tech the Halls," she said. "We have been planning this event since September and have been making decorations since October."
Crump said all activities from last year were brought back this year, but this year they added the trackless train and the movie showing.
Though there were new things this year, Crump said she will always like the ice skating rink the best.
"I love watching all the small kids ice skate," she said. "I know it is not real ice, but it is real to them."
Crumps said it is all about the smiles and Christmas spirit.
"People come to enjoy Christmas and get free stuff that can be gifts to others during the holiday season," she said. "The hard work is all worth it in the end when you see the Ruston community united, laughing and having a great time."

When Wilde Jean-Louis applied for a passport in January 2006 in Delray Beach, he allegedly told authorities his name was Todd Terrell Blanding. He used a Florida birth certificate and a Florida driver's license in that name.
He got the passport.
More than six years later, on June 18, 2012, the real Todd Terrell Blanding, a U.S. citizen, submitted a passport application.
That's when things got complicated.
According to a criminal complaint filed in the West Palm Beach federal court, passport officials realized that a passport had already been issued to a man claiming to be Blanding. Yet here was Blanding standing in front of them.
Three days later, Blanding was interviewed by federal agents. He provided identification proving who he was, according to the complaint, which was filed by a special agent with the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service.
The Diplomatic Security Service is the law enforcement arm of the State Department.
Agents showed the real Blanding a picture of the man who had been issued a passport in his name. Blanding recognized the person as "Jean Joseph," a man he had worked with several years before, according to the complaint. Jean Joseph was from Haiti, Blanding said.
Officials did some more digging and checked with the Florida driver's license database. There, they saw that Jean-Louis had used a Haitian passport to apply for his Florida license.
A check of law enforcement databases and information from the Department of Homeland Security showed that Jean-Louis is not a U.S. citizen, the complaint reads.
While posing as Blanding, Jean-Louis "repeatedly" traveled between South Florida and Haiti from 2006 to 2011, the complaint said. On May 9, he traveled from Fort Lauderdale to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, returning on May 23.
Jean-Louis was arrested Dec. 6 in Orlando. On Thursday, he filed an unopposed motion to continue his arraignment on Jan. 31.
Jean-Louis faces four federal charges including identity theft, aggravated identity theft, falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen, and making a false statement on a passport application.

Today I'll be reviewing this amazing Tonymoly product!
Despite the name "Peeling Cream," this is NOT a peeling cream.
"Massage Cream" would describe it better.
Basically what this does, is that it "exfoliates" your skin.
It claims to take away all those dead skin cells sitting on your face.
How to use:
First wash your face with water, and dry it. Your face has to be dry in order for the product to work. After drying your face, get the right amount of product and apply it to your face.
You want to apply like you're applying a moisturizer. Now wait for the product to take action. Preferably 1-2 minutes. After waiting, take your clean hands and rub your face.
Then wash off, and you'll be amazed by the results!
Price: ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5
I got this around $8 on Amazon with free shipping.
The price is amazing for such a good product like this.
It will last you months if you don't use it everyday, so you don't have to spend money more frequently.
Packaging: ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5
The packaging of this is absolutely adorable. The container is light green and apple shaped. Who wouldn't love this?!It also comes with a protective film cover, to protect the product from spilling. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a spatula like the Tomatox and Red Appletox.
Scent & Texture: ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5
The scent of this thing is heaven! It smells like fresh, crisp Granny Smith apples. It doesn't smell artificial at all too actually, and I really love it. The texture is like any moisturizing cream, just a creamy white cream. It glides really well on my skin.
Effectiveness: ❤❤❤❤❤
The effect after using this product is instant. It makes my skin super soft and much brighter too. I feel like this product isn't good for people with sensitive skin. It actually almost broke me out, but luckily it didn't. I've read many reviews saying that there's an ingredient in this product that will most likely break you out.
Why I like it:
•adorable apple
•Smells delicious
•Softens skin
•Brightens skin
•Makes skin tone even
Why I don't like it:
•May break you out
I absolutely love this product. It works great and smells great. There's nothing bad about it except that it could break you out.
No. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ *flips table*
I think when this runs out, I'll try a different product, since this Green Appletox isn't a must have for me, and it's not somethingI use daily, only maybe once a week.
Alright guys, that's it!
Thanks for reading and I hope this review was helpful to you!
Would you purchase this Appletox? What do you think about it?

Sports Drink Ingredient Issue – Brominated Vegetable Oil
Brominated vegetable oil, aka BVO, is a patented product that is used as a flame retardant in plastics but is has also been used as an emulsifier in sports drinks since 1931. It took several decades before its harmful effects came to light and countries started banning its use in drinks.
Sports drinks and citrus-flavored sodas use BVO in order to keep the fat-soluble citrus flavors suspended in the drink made primarily of water. Without something to keep them mixed, they would partially separate and float to the top of the drink making it less attractive to consumers.
The bromine attached to the vegetable oil molecules compete with iodine for receptor sites in the body. As a result, it stay in the body and can accumulate to dangerous levels that might lead to hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease, and cancer. Bromine is linked to organ damage, birth defects, schizophrenia, and hearing loss.
The US Food and Drug Administration listed BVO as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) in 1958. They withdrew the label in 1970. BVO was been prohibited in soft drinks in India in 1990 and banned as a food additive in Japan in 2010. To date, over 100 countries have now banned its use.
The issue came to the forefront in the media when Sarah Kavanagh started a petition to ban it form Gatorade and succeeded in using change.org online to collect 200 000 signatures and put tremendous pressure on Pepsi-Co who manufactures the drink. As of January 2013, it is no longer found in Gatorade. Kavanagh is not done yet. She has started a second petition with the help of Atlanta resident Aveyca Price that now has 49 000 signatures. They are looking to convince Coca Cola to stop using the food additive in its Powerade flavors, Fruit Punch and Strawberry Lemonade. Price being from Atlanta is not by accident. The head quarters for Coke is found in the city. Besides Gatorade, Vitamin Water and BodyArmor have also stopped using BVO.
As of February 2013, BVO is stilled used in Powerade, Fanta Orange and Fresca made by Coca-Cola; and Squirt and Sunkist Peach Soda, made by Dr Pepper Snapple Group.

Transfer news: Hull City want Jordan Rhodes, Steve Bruce confirms
Last Updated: 25/08/14 2:12pm
Hull City manager Steve Bruce says further discussions regarding a deal for Jordan Rhodes will be held, but admits the picture has become clouded.
Blackburn Rovers striker Rhodes has emerged as a top target for Hull as they seek added firepower.
An initial approach from the KC Stadium has been knocked back, with it reported that a £12million offer has been rejected.
Bruce is refusing to give up the chase, though, as proven goalscorers are hard to come by.
He says another round of talks are planned, after which he will either push ahead to bring Rhodes on board or turn his attention to other striking talents.
Bruce said in the Hull Daily Mail: "It's difficult. We got an indication from Blackburn 2-3 days ago, or a week ago, that they were prepared to sell. But now we hear he's not for sale at any price.
"We'll have a conversation with Blackburn in the next 24-48 hours then if it's not to be, we'll go for the next one.
"Is he for sale or is he not for sale?"

Yasuo Build Guide by Raven_Avirez
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Early Game Laning Phase
Mid Game Essential
Late Game Defensive Items
Core Items
Items to Consider
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Phantom Dancer Vs. Statikk Shiv
Why rush Phantom Dancer?
- According to this guide, Phantom Dancer is rushed during the laning phase. But why? PD gives you an extra edge whenever going one on one against another champion (its second passive which is Lament: wherein the last champion you hit deals 12% less damage to you). This gives you a large advantage during laning because it gives you a lot of crit chance, a lot of attack speed, reliable mobility, and damage reduction.
- Phantom Dancer can be changed with Statikk Shiv later on whenever team fights start occurring. Statikk Shiv gives you at most 67.5 - 225 magic damage which helps a lot when tearing squishes apart. Generally may be expensive; however beneficial to your team.
Blade of the Ruined King Vs. Infinity Edge
When should you rush BORK or IE first?
- Well, for beginners, BORK is an item that is considered a tank-shredder. This item helps is very cost efficient with champions that rely on basic attacks because of its passive. IE on the other hand should immediately be built whenever handling with non-health-reliant top laners such as early game Gnar, Zed, Riven, early game Aatrox, and many more. However, I still strongly suggest taking BORK because of the fact that it gives you even more mobility, and I really think that 70% crit chance from PD is already enough for early game.
Ninja Tabi Vs. Berserker Greaves?
Why would you choose Ninja Tabi over Berserker Greaves? Isn't 25% attack speed important?
- Actually, I had a hard time choosing over these two items. However, whenever I play Yasuo in teamfights, whenever an AD Fighter or ADR is fed, I seem to think that Ninja Tabi's 10% damage reduction to basic attacks and 25 Armor seem to be more important than 25% Attack Speed.
- From BORK and PD or Shiv, you'll already have 70-75% Attack Speed, and that the cooldown and cast time of Steel Tempest is reduced by 0.6% for every 1% bonus attack speed and has a cap of 66% reduction. If you are winning the game, get Berserker Greaves instead to maximize Yasuo's Q.
The Defensive Items
For this chapter I'll be talking real quick about the late game items that Yasuo needs.
- Late game: The point where everyone, fed or not, mostly have 5 to 6 items. This is the point wherein ADR's free-hit you from away and deal a ton of damage, and Mages and Assassins burst you down. This is the point in the game where you need to get defensive items.
- I'm pretty sure we know why we're getting Guardian Angel. GA provides you both Armor, MR and a second life. Do I need to explain more?
- BORK's 10% Life Steal isn't enough to give you enough sustain in team fights. So we take in Spirit Visage to modify both Warlord's Bloodlust and your Life Steal in order to prolong in the clash.
Items to Consider
- Banshee's Veil may be an item to consider when fighting against champions with engages that are accompanied with CC such as Annie, Malphite, Blitzcrank, Lux, and many more. Even though this passive can be easily proc'd by champions with poke, this item may save your life!
- Death's Dance, an item that gives somewhat extra tankiness because of it's convertion of damage received into a bleeding effect. It also supplies 65 Attack Damage, which rivals IE's!
- Morgana's Bind, Amumu's Ult, Nasus's Wither are all CC that severely damage your fighting output. Mercurial Scimitar allows you to break free from these barriers with bonus movement speed and provides you 10% Life Steal in order to last longer in team fights
Soooo, it's been somewhere near an hour or two since I've started making this account. I'm sorry if I haven't put super detailed information (I'm lazy). I want to know if this build helps you with your Yasuo games. If I have the time, I'll be adjusting more info about why I chose this type of build.
Thank you for reading this guide! Please feel free to drop any comments below!
P.S. Please have mercy, I'm just Gold.

Auto rickshaw union announces 3-day strike from August 21 across Maharashtra
Auto rickshaws will be off the roads in Mumbai and rest of Maharashtra for three days, from August 21, union leader Sharad Rao said here on Monday.
Sharad Rao-led union is holding Mahrashtra to ransom once more by stating that they will go on a three-day strike from August 21.
The 72-hour stir would be launched to demand speedy implementation of the tariff structure suggested by the Hakim committee, he said.
The joint action committee of auto unions, which has called the strike, has also demanded that the installation of electronic meters in autos should not be made mandatory.
The committee has also sought a status of "public servant" to auto drivers and owners.
Around 15 lakh auto drivers would participate in the strike, it said.
In the recent past, Rao has been announcing agitations and getting the state to meet his demands. Following a flash strike on September 20, 2011, the Rao-led union claimed unresolved issues and threatened another strike on April 16, 2012. After it got a Re 1 hike in base fare, Rao called off the strike.
Another agitation was scheduled for October 8 last year, following which the government agreed to constitute a new fare formula while increasing the fare by Rs 3 to Rs 15.
Rao's agitations coincide with examinations or monsoon to force the government to accept their demands by holding the commuters to ransom.

Indie Game Dev Quote of the Year…Posted on October 22nd, 2009 1 comment
Hey folks,
Every year, we have an "Indie Game Dev Quote Of The Year"… that is a profound quote/phrase that applies to indie game developers…
I had the opportunity to interview one of the senior producers of EVE Online, Torfi Olafsson…and at the end, he has an inspiring comment…that wins the honor of "Indie Game Dev Quote of the Year"…
You can listen to it here…
The full interview will be posted in a few weeks 🙂
Hey Indies…Are You This Motivated…Posted on October 21st, 2009 No comments
I got an e-mail from the HeyZap team about their latest new viral game.
You may recall that they made a huge viral hit before called Swinefighter…you can check out the interview here…
Last week, there was this whole issue with a 6 year old that was potentially on a hot air balloon alone. It all turned out to be a miscommunication, but a lot of press covered the event.
Later that day, the HeyZap folks made a simple viral game about the event…check it out here…
They finished the game in a night.
I think it's a reminder to all indies that we're in an era where successful games can be created in a day. I see indies spending days and months deciding on a game idea. We are in a day and age where prototyping can happen in a few hours.
While most folks take weeks to decide on a game, HeyZap made a hit in less than a day.
For the indies out there, I think this is a good post to remind us how fast you can go…what you can do…and what's possible…when you're motivated.

Cute But Psycho

Ah, the gossipy, soap opera-esqe happenings in town. I feel as though I need to chronicle some of the more interesting things that go on. Who has been seen talking together? Who is feuding? Who left articles of clothing or furniture at another house (how does that even happen?!?)?
In the sleepy town of Salem, Mayor Erin has been uncovering all sorts of interesting tidbits.
Mathilda, the local gossip, seems intent on playing matchmaker for her younger sister, Kitt. Which
I wasn't able to get a good shot of Mathilda's birthday, but I was right that Midge had gone to spend the day with her. When I gave Mathilda her present (a spiderweb tee), she asked if I'd been reading her diary, because it was exactly what she wanted. I'm glad she liked it. I was hoping she'd wear it, since it would go perfectly with her coloring, but she's displayed it in her house, instead. I've been feeding her original pieces of sleek furniture, so it actually fits well.
I think
Sorry to have gone silent here. Life sort of got in the way - work, a horrible head cold, and NaNoWriMo, in that order. I've still managed to play every day and have actually seen some real progress.
Yesterday, I purchased the last tree I need for my town. I did have to cut some others down, so I'll need to up the number of bushes I want, since I don't want to leave areas completely barren, but it'll work out. I also took down some of my fruit trees and planted regular saplings, so
The trees and grass changed color again today. Autumn really is my favorite time of year (slow coming IRL, so I'll take it where I can get it), and I love the way the season shows in the game.
When it comes to walking around, the southwest corner of town is one of my favorites, but standing still, just looking, I love this spot.
It's right at my entrance, leading over to Re-Tail. The apples and pears look nice planted together,
I didn't get a chance to do much during the day yesterday, so I was bustling around town in the evening - watering flowers, digging fossils, etc. Redd was in town and had both the Motherly Statue and the Moody Painting as real offerings. I have both in the museum and was dithering over whether or not to buy one for my house. (I ended up getting the statue, although not sure where/if I'll display it just now)
I also had Bangle camping, and stopped in to say hello. As I was coming back

Why can't I save favourites on the YouTube app? Takes a while to sift through all the rubbish in order to find the videos you want and then when you do, there's no way to save the URL or clip to favourites so that you can watch it again later. You have to do the search all over again. Or is it that the facility is just not appearing on my tablet?
Isn't the points of these apps to make things faster and better? That doesn't seem to be the case if you have to search again tomorrow for what you searched for today in order to find a video you found it's mad.
There's a lot of suggestions on downloading. Why download and take up tons of space on the drive when all you need is the link.
So before writing it off as a load of garbage I'm posting here to make sure it's not hidden somewhere.

Steve Kowit: Poet's Poet
Walking through the front door at Clair de Lune was like entering another plane of existence. The place, formerly a bridal dress shop, teemed with people, all anticipating the evening's poetry. After purchasing a mocha, I looked for a place to sit down. All the couches and chairs were taken. I made my way towards the stage and sat down on the floor in front of it. The microphone awaiting the dulcet or impassioned tones of the poets-to-come.
A popular local poet, Lizzie Wan, read two pieces. Then Mark Kokonos, who had memorized his work, slammed. Chris Vannoy, with the style of a beat poet like Ginsburg or Kerouac, also slammed. The crowd applauded. Still, the level of anticipation rose as the signature poet, Steve Kowit, took the stage.
About Steve Kowit
I think of Steve as a poet's poet. His generous spirit and vivid imagination are slathered all over his works. I first met Steve in 1978 when I participated in a poetry workshop at his home in Ocean Beach. He's an intense critic and enthusiastic teacher. His works are funny and poignant, sometimes in the same line.
Prior to reading, he chatted with the crowd, sharing a short history about how he had become a poet – he received his street smarts from Manhattan and a Masters degree from State.
In his big glasses, jeans, blue-plaid long-sleeved shirt, brown vest and turquoise choker, he grinned at the full house. His full head of tight brown curly hair is shot through with enough gray to tell you this guy has been around the block. But he's got incredible youthfulness about him.
Preceding each piece, he explained how the poem came to be. He shared stories from his old New York neighborhood, and about places in South Amreica, where he and his wife, Mary, had fled so Steve would not have to serve in the Viet Nam War, which he did not believe in.
The Dumbbell Nebula
He read work from his latest book, The Dumbbell Nebula, including "Beetles," "of whom, among all earth-born creatures, God is fondest," "The Black Shoe," about the bombing of Iraq and two women killed by a train in Carlsbad, and "Basic," about an Army bunkmate who committed suicide.
After leading his audience through a gamut of emotions, Steve said he would read two more poems. I detected some self-deprecation, i.e., "I hope it won't bother you too much if I read a couple more…" Everyone was there to hear him! He should revel in that kind of demand!
I Attend a Poetry Reading
He finished off with one of his most notorious pieces, "I Attend a Poetry Reading," which many in the audience (including myself) had experienced a few times before, like the most popular cut on a favorite album.
The crowd exploded into applause. Afterwards, Steve retired to a table where he signed copies of The Dumbbell Nebula for those who purchased it. I bought one for $7, his cost. I wanted him to keep the ten dollars I gave him, but he insisted on digging into his pockets for three frayed one-dollar bills in change.
"We need to support our poets," I said, trying to press the money back into his hand.
He waved it off. "You're a poet yourself. I want my work to be accessible." We hugged. Then I drove home and read Steve's book from cover to cover, hearing that broad New York City accent with every line, and laughing and crying, both.
- Steve Kowit passed away in 2015, much to the chagrine of those who loved him and enjoyed his poetry.
- I videotaped him reading "Basic" (above) at a La Mesa Library in 2011.

Epithelial Tissues
Introduction to Tissues
-A layer or group of similar cells with a common function
-can be distinguished by cell size, shape, organization and function
-Four major types: Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
-found throughout the body
-cover body surfaces and organs
-form the inner linings of body cavities
-lines hollow organs
-always has a free (apical) surface exposed to the outside or internally to an open space
Squamous: thin flattened cells
-Intercellular Junctions: structures that connect cell membrane
(ex. Desomosome-->enables skin cells to form a reinforced structural unit)
-Tight junction: membranes of adjacent cells that converge and fuse
-Gap Junctions: tubular channels that connect cell membranes of certain other cells (ex. heart muscle and muscle of the digestive tract)
-Allow nutrients, ions and other small molecules to move between them
Cuboidal: cubelike cells
Columnar: elongated cells
Stratified: two or more layers of cells
Simple: Single layer of cells
Basement membrane: thin nonliving layer that anchors epithelium to underlying connective tissue
*As a rule, epithelial tissues lack blood vessels
-Readily divide so injuries heal rapidly as new cells replace lost or damaged ones
-Tightly packed which enables them to form an effective protective barrier in structures such as the outer layer of the skin & the lining of the mouth
lines the follicles of the thyroid gland
-Fit tightly together and their nuclei are usually broad and thin
-Substances pass through them easily
-Common at sites of diffusion and filtration
-Line the air sacs of the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged
-Forms the walls of capillaries
-lines the inside of blood and lymph vessels
-covers the membranes that cover the body cavities
-b/c its so thin and delicate, its easily damaged
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium: consists of two or three layers of cuboidal cells that form the lining of a lumen (the inside space of a tubular structure)
-this tissue is composed of two or three layers of cube shaped cells
-lines the larger ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas
-forms the lining of developing ovarian follicles and seminiferous tubules (parts of the male and female reproductive system)
-it functions in protection
- It also forms the lining of developing ovarian follicles and seminiferous tubules, which are part of the male and female reproductive systems
consists of several layers of cells (two or three)
-theses superficial cells are elongated, whereas the basal layers consist of cube shaped cells
- basal layer is the deepest layer of the epidermis, outer covering of skin in mammals
-Stratified Columnar Epithelium
is found in the male urethra and the ductus deferens and in part of the pharynx
- pharynx is an organ in the digestive system and respiratory system
-the function of this tissue is protection
consists of a layer of cube shaped cells
essentially located spherical nuclei
lines the kidney tubules and ducts of certain glands such as salivary, pancreas and liver
functions in tubular secretions in kidneys and tubular reabsorption
in glands, it secrets glandular products
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Simple Columnar Epithelium
simple columnar epithelium
Glandular Epithelium
Glandular Epithelium is composed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or body fluids.
Found within columnar or cuboidal epithelium
, and compose glands.
The skin and lining of the digestive tract, which secrete products onto open surfaces, are called exocrine glands.
Endocrine glands secrete their products into tissue fluid or blood.
An exocrine gland can contain a simple cell or be multicellular. They can be divided into simple and compound glands.
5 Types of Glands (and fluids)
Tubular-epithelial lined tubes
Alveolar-form saclike dilations
Merocrine: release fluids by exocytosis (Pancreatic fluid, saliva)
Apocrine: Lose portions of glandular bodies through secretion (mammary glands, ceruminous in ear canal)
Holocrine: Release entire cells (skin)
-composed of a single layer of elongated cells whose nuclei are usually at the same level near the basement membrane
-cells can be ciliated or nonciliated
(cilia extend from the free surfaces of the cells, and they move constantly
nonciliated simple columnar epithelium lines the uterus and portions of the digestive tract
cells are elongated, so this tissue is thick which enables it to protect underlying tissue
cells-> specialize for absorption
-often have many cylindrial processes extending from their free surfaces, called MICROVILLI
-increase the surface area of the cell membrane
goblet cells-> specialized flask-shaped glandular cells that are scattered among the cells of the simple columnar epithelium
-secrete a protective fluid called mucus on the free surface of the tissue
Types of Merocrine Fluids
Serous fluid is watery, with a high concentration of enzymes
Serous fluid lines the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities and are associated with visceral and parietal membranes
Mucus is rich in mucin, a glycoprotein.
Mucus is found in the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory systems for protection
Mucus and goblet cells secrete mucus
Types of Glands
Where Serous Fluids and Mucus are located
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Transitional Epithelium
-specialized to change in response to increased tension
-forms the inner lining of the urinary bladder and lines the ureters and superior urethra
-when the wall of one of these organs contracts, the tissues consist of several layers of cuboidal cells
-when the organ is distended, the tissue stretches and the physical relationships among the cells change
-transitional epithelium also forms a barrier that helps prevent the contents of the urinary tract from going back into the intestines/internal environment
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
-not all of them contact the free surface
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- consists of many layers of cells, making this tissue thick
-these cells appear layered but they are not
-a layer effect occurs because the nuclei are at two or more levels in the row of aligned cells
-the cells vary in shape
-these cells commonly have cilia, which extend from the free surfaces of the cells.
-Goblet cells scattered throughout this tissue secret the mucus, which the cilia sweep away
lines the passages of the respiratory system.
the mucous covered linings are sticky and they trap dust and microorganisms that enter the air.
then the cilia moves the mucus and its captured particles upward and out of the airways
-cells nearest the free surface are flattened the most
-those in the deep layers, where cell division occurs are cuboidal or columnar.
-as newer cells grow, older ones are pushed farther and farther outward, where they flatten.
-example: epidermis (outermost layer of skin)
-keratinization: when older cells are pushed outward and create a protein called keratin, then these older cells harden and die.
-this produces a covering of dry and tough protective skin preventing substances from escaping and microorganisms from entering.
-lines the oral cavity, esophagus, vagina and anal canal.
-in these parts, the tissue is not keratinized; it stays soft and moist and the cells on it surfaces remain alive.
Types of Tubular/Alveolar Glands
Branched tubular
Coiled tubular
Branched alveolar

Public Access – Help Shape It!
by Dr. Walt Warnick 16 Nov, 2011 in Science Communications
As a reader of this blog, you are naturally a stakeholder in the government's public access policies – specifically, public access to scholarly publications containing federally-funded research results. As the largest government funder of research in the physical sciences as well as a key funder across a broad spectrum of other science and technology fields, the Department of Energy, through our national laboratories and grantees, produces an enormous number of scholarly publications each year.
Journal articles are the gold standard of scholarly publications. Books and conference papers are other examples. DOE research is also recorded in the form of e-prints and technical reports. OSTI is the repository for DOE's technical reports, having nearly 300,000 available in electronic full text on the DOE Information Bridge and another 800,000, dating back to the Manhattan Project, awaiting digitization.
For journal articles, OSTI also receives lots of metadata from national labs, but public access to the full text depends on individual journal publishers' business practices – e.g., whether the journal is open access or subscription based. In the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010, Congress tasked the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) with reviewing, evaluating, and proposing federal public access policies and practices for peer reviewed scholarly publications. A Public Access to Scholarly Publications (PASP) Task Force has been...
