Students using the African Studies Library usually begin their research with its substantial collection of books, journals, and electronic resources. Beyond these conventional materials, ASL also offers primary research sources: government publications, dating from colonial to contemporary, and published letters and accounts of travelers. Recently, donations outside the original scope were added: ethnographic field notes and diaries from research on the Acholi people of northern Uganda in the mid-1950s, including transcripts of provincial and district court proceedings for which the anthropologist Paula Hirsch Foster was a paid interpreter; a hand-written copy of the Psalms of David in Ge'ez, the liturgical language of Ethiopia, with marginal notes, straw bookmarkers, and bits of candle wax testifying to its frequent use over the years; and site notes and maps of excavation in the 1970s of the ancient city of Axum in present-day Ethiopia.
This and similar raw material for academic research also provides exciting opportunities for students to learn how to use primary sources. The Axum collection on one day might be consulted by visiting archaeologists from Italy and by a student learning what excavation field reports actually are—not Indiana Jones fare, but precise lists of ceramic fragments. Students hired to work on the Foster archive learn how to match unlabelled slides with segments of the text and to find a lab capable of processing the fifty-year-old undeveloped film.
The collections invite creative synthesis of secondary and primary resources. Forrest Whitaker's Oscar-winning portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland or the documentary Invisible Children, portraying the plight of children abducted to serve as soldiers in Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army might inspire a paper topic. Students not only can read a wealth of books, articles, and documents on both eras but can also explore the Foster field notes for clues on what might have led to these horrific events. Guided exercises are being devised for students to learn how to investigate the archival collections and how to use the texts they find there.
Stories of donors add rich context to the collections. The personality of Paula Hirsch Foster leaps out between the lines of her meticulous notes of court cases and interviews; 16mm film segments even include scenes from her wedding. Charles Samz included a chapter describing his adventures as a petroleum geologist from his autobiography-in-progress, which accompanied his gift of an early eighteenth-century Ethiopian manuscript.
From these collections, students come to understand that it's not "all on the Internet," and that vital information isn't always conveniently packaged. ASL prepares guides and finding aids for its collections, but the answers to some questions can only come from reading page after page of material in the hopes of hitting the revealing passage. This is an acquired taste, but the appetite and the skills students develop by using these collections may enrich their entire lives.

Mating Common Emerald Damselfly (Lestes sponsa)
I pictured these mating damselflies at the weekend which I believe are Common emeralds, please feel free to leave a comment if I have this wrong.
Dragonflies have a unique way of copulating for which the males have specialised secondary genitalia, they have indirectt insemination and delayed fertilisation. The males sperm is passed from the abdomen tip to the secondary genitalia where it is passed onto the female.

Could you navigate your way safely through a smoke-filled room if you were caught in a fire?
That's the challenge awaiting visitors to an emergency services fun day in Sheffield today (Sunday, April 23).
Emergency vehicles old and new are on display along The Moor, where funfair rides, a trip in a fire engine and a bouncy castle are among a host of other activities.
One of the highlights is the chance to test your survival skills in a smoke-filled maze crammed with inflatable obstacles - designed to teach youngsters how to stay safe should disaster strike.
Visitors can also see inside vehicles ranging from ambulances to lifeboats and meet some of the emergency crews risking their lives to keep the public safe.
The National Emergency Services Museum's annual fun day began at 11am and runs until 4pm.
Matthew Wakefield, chief executive of the museum, which is based at the old police and fire station in West Bar, Sheffield, said this year's event was the biggest yet.
"It's getting bigger and better every year," he told The Star.
"The idea is to use the historic vehicles and the fun activities to promote all the emergency services and to teach the public vital life-saving skills."
The event is also held to raise money for the museum, which is self-funded and needs just over £100,000 a year to keep running.
Among the visitors were Luke and Gemma Nally, who were there with their sons Joel, aged four, and one-year-old Caleb.
Luke said: "We came last year and it was great, but this year it looks even bigger.
"Joel's really into fire engines and police cars. He's a big fan of Fireman Sam and we've been to the museum a few times. Hopefully this will teach him a bit about what to do if there is an emergency."

People set goals and new habits for the new year, and are incredibly excited and optimistic about how great the new year will be, but over the holidays create bad habits (over-eating, laziness, etc). Then January 1st rolls around, they wake up (probably groggy and hungover from the NYE festivities), and they expect that they are going to make huge changes but don't have the habits or willpower necessary to make the changes, so they fail.
Its like training for a marathon, the training starts way before the race. You don't just go out there on race day and run the race, it takes months of training and dedication leading up to the race to achieve the success you want. If 2015 is the marathon, you're not going to achieve the success you want without training beforehand. You can't just switch good habits on because the calendar year changes on January 1st.
So if you are serious about the changes you want to make and the good habits you want to develop, and you really want to make 2015 the best year ever, don't start January 1st, start in December. December should be your best month ever if 2015 is going to be your best year ever. Obviously today is Christmas Eve so it's a little late if you're reading this now… but If you actually want 2015 to be your best year ever, it still starts today. If 2015 is really going to be your best year ever, then this week (Dec 24-Dec 31) needs to be the best week ever. Start making changes now. Start developing habits now. Start creating the right environment now.
So think: How can I treat now, until the rest of the year, as the best week of my life? How can I use this week to set myself up for success come the new year? This week will likely be a preview to the year to come.

Finally Sir Robert stands proud in Belgrave Square, accompanied by two dogs.

Libby: One of the best things about Autumn is feijoas. When I saw them at the supermarket on Friday I had to buy some... just two as they were $12.99 a kilo! This is the most expensive I've ever seen them but they're the first of the season and I was at Thorndon New World. Growing up we were so fortunate to have a free supply of feijoas from Grandma who would send boxes of them over from Tauranga. Feijoas are one of my favourite fruits (possibly number one) and no matter how many I eat I never get sick of them. But while they're $12.99/kg I won't be eating many!
Becs: I was introduced to Traiteur's chocolate and raspberry brownies perhaps ten years ago now, by the Horgan family. They are my idea of brownie perfection...barely set chocolate goo, studded with chunks of white chocolate and raspberries to cut the sweetness. I always ask for a middle piece which are extra gooey. As you can see in the picture it oozes like a perfectly ripe cheese. Traiteur sell the brownie in quite large slabs, I usually cut mine into quarters to enjoy over a few days, it is that rich. They recently put the price up from $2.95 to $3.50, such value for money!
Miriam: Every Wednesday at work someone is responsible for providing the team with morning tea. Whether brought or home made, from what I've tasted so far it's worthwhile being at work on a Wednesday. Last week Tipu brought in this very elaborate orange and almond cake, courtesy of Meadowbank Bakery. It was delicious. I have a good recipe for orange and almond cake, but have only made it once before. I must make it again and perhaps try dolling it up with candied oranges as per this one!

June 1—29, 2018* in Yoga House & Spa (Koh Samui, Lamai)
It's too late to enroll as TTC has already started. However, you still can join some classes.
World-famous Dominique Renucci from Yogayantra comes to Koh Samui (Thailand) for the first time to share her profound experience with you, yogis and yoginis looking for a deeper understanding of yoga, improving your skills and getting your teacher's certification. Being guided by a professional who has been teaching yoga for 27 years (and TTCs alone for 12+ years already), you're going to discover the full power of yoga and become able to share your comprehensive knowledge with other living beings.
This TTC is not about fancy yoga and fashion but it perfectly fits all other needs of those who'd like to teach yoga to others and/or to fully understand what's happening on a yoga mat and then go much further than just asanas.
* Please note you should arrive at least on May 31st (our first meeting will happen this day afternoon) and checkout on June 30th (training will finish on the evening of June 29th). It means you need at least 30 nights accommodation (it is included in our packages listed below) starting May 31st. If you can come earlier it may be even better for you (due to jet lag).
About Yogayantra and Dominique
Yogayantra is a yoga school registered with Yoga Alliance. Its founder and director is Dominique Renucci (E-RYT 500 certified) who has left her country (France) in 1991 to live in Asia. She has studied yoga with many teachers across Europe and Asia, attended many intensive retreats and read tons of books dedicated to Indian philosophy, Tibetan Buddhism and Dzogchen teaching, spent months in self-retreats in secluded places. Dominique has practiced Zen meditation for many years, attended many 10-day Vipassana meditation courses, received empowerment of some Tibetan practices, has been following and practicing the Dzogchen teachings from Choegyal Namkhai Norbu for many years. She is also a student of the medical University of Grenoble (France) and online student of Dr Robert Morse (Florida, USA).
Dominique has started to study Indian philosophy as a teenager coming into the world of yoga in 1975. Her yoga teaching experience began in 1991. In 1995, she has attended her first yoga TTC and 10 years later she has started to teach 200 & 300 hour TTCs. She has been practicing Iyengar Yoga for years and then switched to Ashtanga style. Now, Dominique practices and teaches Vinyasa Yoga emphasizing mindfulness with fluidity and athleticism combining it with detailed knowledge and precision of Iyengar style. Dominique's broad experience in teaching YTTCs can be validated via Yoga Alliance website.

«At the end of the first week of 300-hour TTC in Rishikesh, a student came to me and said, "thank you". I said, "why?" She replied, "because in these 5 days, I've learned more than in the whole 200-hour TTC I attended." [It was guided by other teacher in Koh Samui.]»
Here you can find few examples of feedback kindly provided by Dominique's TTCs' students (discover more at Yogayantra site):
- «… The knowledge I attained from you is absolutely immeasurable; I was flicking through my notes from my 200 hour course the other day and was astounded at the amount I gained from you in comparison. I truly feel like I know what I'm doing and I feel confident to teach, and in light of the first few weeks of the course I was considering telling you I just didn't want to teach in any way, that's pretty incredible…» — P.W. from TTC in Rishikesh (India), September 2017.

Happy Birthday Laura Jean
Good morning. The sun is shining, but it is still a bit nippy. Temps will only be making it into the low 50's today, then dip down into the 30's for tonight. Alas, the cooler temps are here to stay. I must say though that I have thoroughly enjoyed the warmer temps of the last couple of days.
Yesterday, I spent quite a bit of time on the phone trying to locate a repairman for our refrigerator. (one of the ones in the main house) I tell them what is broken, and they try to give me an appointment for someone to come out and figure out what the problem is. Then they will give me another appointment for someone to actually come out to fix the problem.
This is amazing, since I began my chat with them by telling them that the temperature knob in the freezer is broken. I even tried to locate a part number for that know, figuring that I could try to fix it myself, but that number seems to be a secret. I'm thinking it might be cheaper to just buy another refrigerator. groan, groan.
I promised you a photo of my beautiful big maples that are at the entrance to my driveway. Here's a shot of one of them. See how the green is changing over to a beautiful golden yellow.
Yesterday's mail finally brought me some of the medical insurance information that I've been waiting for. This company has six different plans for folks on medicare, and I do believe that one of them may be just right for me. I would not bother, but should I ever need to go to the hospital, this insurance would help me pay the bill. (not that I'm planning on spending time at the hospital any day soon!)
Well, it's that day of the year again. My baby turned fifty one today. Happy Birthday Laura Jean. May your day be as beautiful and sunny as you are. It's also my day to age another year. However, the great part is that come next April, Pogo and I will finally be the same age, seventy seven. We'll have to celebrate that day! I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful birthday greetings these past two days. They certainly kept a big smile on my face and made my days brighter.
Here's a photo of some beautiful flowers from my photo archives. I just love the colors. They are so happy and bright. The colors are just perfect for this time of year.
Later today, I'll take a look around my yard to see which plants are still flowering, and take a few photos. My grandson Kevin (and maybe a friend of his) will be coming by after lunch to do a it of yard work for me. Recently, I bought new floor mats for my car, so maybe the boys will put these into my car for me. That would really be nice.
Last evening, I decided to crochet a bit on the turquoise afghan while I watched some TV. I probably should have never picked it up. Before I set it down for the night, I had finally finished four and a half new rows. But only after ripping out about six rows! Gosh, I wonder why I don't see these mistakes until a couple rows too late? Actually, they are not mistakes. They are stitches where the yarn splits as the hook is going through a stitch. It's not always noticeable right away, and it's not pretty so you really have to rip rows out and fix this.
Well, time is slipping by, and I really should get dressed. Pogo is looking forward to going outside in the yard. Goodness knows, there's always new stuff to sniff, and Pogo is a very good sniffer! So, till Sunday, Y'all have a fantabulous day.
Hugs, Edna B.

Happy Birthday Edna,
I hope that your day is fantastic and Happy Birthday to Laura Jean! Cisco was howling this morning and when I listened closely I understood it was Happy Birthday to Edna.
Your trees are lovely and so are the flowers. Just beautiful. At first I could only see the tops of them and I thought that they were fireworks lol.. then I saw the whole photograph and thought wow these are such cheery flowers.
My son in home and I am heading down for a nap.... much love, Beth and Cisco

Oh, Happy belated birthday to Laura Jean!
Glad your day was a nice one and so it should be. Gosh, you and Pogo 77 somewhere next year?? Now I suddenly feel almost like a puppy with my 63 only! And I think my 63 is already a bit old(and some days I really feel 10 years older LOL).
I would be great if you could find a suitable medicare plan and that also wouldn;t be too expensive. Yeah, you never know if you need in time some hospital care and then it nice to know that the plan covers some costs of it.
The day started rather sunny, but now I see some very grey clouds coming in and fear, we won;t keep it dry the whoel day.
well, perhaps a good day to get more relaxed and do some designing.
This evening one of a favourite is on tv( on BBC1), which is Strictly Come Dancing I love that program and it makes you laugh and for an hour and a half forget about the whole world.
Love the themes for the dances, the clothes, the decor, it is fantastic.
So a part of my evening is well-filled for certain.
Have a wonderful day, hope you can figure out something for the fridge( and yes, sometimes it is cheaper just to buy a new one, because once starting with repairs on an old one, oh boy. And may be the new one will also be more energy and CO2 friendly. Good cause.

It is hard to resist the mouth-watering meat patties; pizza, fish, chicken, hot dogs among many other delicious foods prepared by over 20,000 experienced OSI Food Solutions Employees. The company had built a name across the globe since 1906 when it was established. McDonald's is among the first retail outlets to order meat patties and other products form the company.
Forbes has rated the organization as among the top 100 largest privately owned companies in the country. It also falls among the most profitable companies in the food industry having close to $6 billion in annual sales. No one can dispute the fact that the firm has outgrown competition having been in this space for more than 100 years.
Why OSI Food Solutions is among America's Top 100 Food Companies
The company recently pocketed controlling stakes at Baho Foods in Europe and Tyson Food In Chicago. The transaction has seen its share capital grow in double digits. This has helped in expanding the market share and attracting millions of customers across foreign territories.
ISO Food Solutions Takes over Baho and Tysons Foods
The company is now better placed within Europe through the purchase of Baho Foods. The Spanish and Portugal markets have now opened new windows for the company to spread across the vast European market. This has created more demand for chicken in this region causing it to double its production to cater to the rising demand.
OSI Food Solutions creates more careers and employment
The organization has expanded its facilities to serve the growing production. This has meant that more job opportunities have been built in more than 17 countries where it operates. An interesting example is the expansion of Spanish operations in chicken processing to enable the company produces nearly 24,000 tons of chicken from annually.
Before the expansion, the facility could only produce 12,000 tons within the same period. The growth has culminated into more employment for the locals as it can employ more than 15 people in this plant only. This has helped in service delivery and strengthening production to serve the unlimited demand for its products.
The OSI Food Solutions managed to purchase the prestigious flagship Europe and later re-branded it to Creative Foods Europe early this year. Its projected that the growth of the company will continue to rise as demand for fast food explodes in many parts of the world. It is important to conclude that the firm commands the market in the food industry and this makes it a global giant.

Unless MotionPoint and TransPerfect come to an agreement before the weekend, the two sides will begin presenting their arguments in a California court next week. At issue are four patents held by MotionPoint and three by TransPerfect. Each company claims that the other infringes on its patents. The seven patents comprise more than 200 claims and, if enforced, could have an enormous impact on the growing business of translation technology.
Why should this trial concern anyone other than the litigants? The patents affect every translation software product that we can think of, from traditional translation memory to translation management systems, to machine translation. If either side prevails and their patents are upheld by the court, the winning company could assert its rights and ask many software vendors to license the technology, develop alternative approaches to fundamental problems, or exit the business (see "The Attack of the TMS Patents," Dec11). This technology accounts for about US$1.1 billion of annual revenue, but more importantly its use by translators and language service providers underpins much of the industry (see "The Language Services Market: 2013," May13).
However, as we have written before, the case should never have gotten this far – and the patents should never have been issued. Why not? Because neither of these companies invented the technologies in dispute. Both MotionPoint and TransPerfect relied on prior art for their products. That is, they both employed concepts that had been developed in the 1990s by other suppliers such as Idiom, Lionbridge, LogoVista, and WizArt, well before the U.S. Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) issued patents to MotionPoint or TransPerfect for translation management, rules servers, and localization proxy servers. Many other software vendors, language service providers, and corporate users built those 1990s technology advances into their products or internal applications – names such as Google Translate, Smartling, and SYSTRAN come to mind.
Even before the trial, the USPTO already invalidated the patents. For example, last year it rejected 36 claims made in one of MotionPoint's patents (see USPTO 95/001,918 Art Unit 3992). Relying on expert testimony and the yellowing pages of documentation from the late 1990s, the USPTO determined that earlier products had innovated before the patents were issued. With that decision in front of the court, companies that use any of the technologies in question will cross their fingers that the judge decides to dismiss the case.
While Common Sense Advisory hasn't heard from either side about its intentions should it prevail, the history of the case to date points to possible outcomes. According to an article posted at "The American Lawyer", MotionPoint fired the first volley in this three-year old saga. The article notes that MotionPoint's lawyers informed TransPerfect in late 2009 that MotionPoint "intended to enforce its intellectual property rights aggressively." TransPerfect could be the test case for MotionPoint's future defense of its portfolio of patents.
In our research practice, we are constantly on the lookout for disruptive technology that can change how language is processed – faster, better, and with more scalability. However, the disruption that could come from these patents being upheld benefits no one other than the company that was inappropriately granted protection for technology it did not invent.

About Wormhole Space posted by titoironman, June 19, 2016, 5:05
Terms & Shorthand
I will use some terms and other 'shorthand' in parts of this guide; most should know these but for those that do not they are detailed here:
Wormhole space; refers to a solar system in wormhole space.
Known space; refers to a solar system in known space (i.e. Empire, Low-Sec, Null-Sec)
Wormhole; refers to a wormhole connection between two systems.
Remote Repair; logistics; using modules such as remote armor repairs and shield transporters.
Cosmic Signatures & Anomalies; refers to a cosmic anomaly or one of four types of cosmic signatures (Ladar, Gravimetric, Magnetometric, Radar). The fifth type of cosmic signature is classified as Unknown and refers to wormholes.
Foreword, Disclaimer and Warning
W-space is not for young or inexperienced players. While young players might be able to get by in w-space they will certainly have a more difficult time and likely run into complications due to their limit skills. I would highly recommend that anyone planning to head into w-space should first go join a 0.0 (Null-Sec) alliance and get their feet wet if they have not done so already. We have been able to apply both the knowledge and tricks we had learned living in 0.0 effectively in w-space. This has proven to give us an effective edge over 95% of the other w-space inhabitants we have run into.
All w-space systems are designated with a system security status of 0.0 so like null-sec you do not take a security hit when engaging in PvP. That being said most people will defend their territory and some will actively go on the hunt and look for PvP targets. Anyone venturing into w-space should be well aware of these dangers. You will also need a good understanding of how to scan which will not be covered here anytime soon (see Links section below).
If you don't plan and test, you will lose your ships. So if you are planning an extend stay in w-space spend the time on SISI and do your homework.
Now with all that out of the way I would like to point out this report is meant to act as a resource only; not a tutorial.
Disclaimer and warning time: In the following sections I will detail observations, opinions and some humorous examples. Due to the random nature of w-space I make no guarantee as to how accurate any of this information is, even if it has been verified a hundred times over. Consider yourself warned.
Wormhole Space Classes
W-space systems fall into one of six classes:
Unknown Space - Class 1-3
Dangerous Unknown Space - Class 4 and 5
Deadly Unknown Space - Class 6
Class 1 and 2 systems can be soloed.
Class 3 you want some friends with RR.
Class 4 you want lots of friends with RR.
Class 5 you definitely want lots of friends with RR and probably a capital.
Class 6 you definitely want a capital or two and lots of friends with RR.
Site Difficulty
Site difficulty can be roughly determined by a keyword in the site name and the w-space class the site is in:
Perimeter sites are generally Low difficulty.
Frontier sites are generally Medium difficulty.
Core sites are generally High difficulty.
For Class 1-2 expect to see Perimeter sites.
For Class 3-4 expect to see Frontier sites.
For Class 5-6 expect to see Core sites.
Gravimetric, Ladar and class 5 Radar sites are exempt from this; also named sites (i.e. The Line & Solar Cell for example) do not fall under this convention.
Sleeper Sites
Each class of w-space should have 4 types of Cosmic Anomalies, 2 types of Radar and 2 types of Magnetometric cosmic signatures associated with it. This means that each class of w-space has its own set of Cosmic Anomaly, Radar and Magnetometric signature types that will not appear in any other class of w-space. The exception to this rule is Ladar and Gravimetric sites, as these sites can appear in several different classes of w-space and are not bound to a specific w-space class but in fact are each tied to a range of w-space classes.
Out in the darkness, a curious deadspace signature taunts brave and reckless explorers alike to try and uncover what secrets may be hidden in the depths. Electronic interference floods through your ship's systems only moments after your warp drive locks on and activates, growing in ferocity as you are hurled towards the strange phenomenon. -Unsecured Frontier Enclave Relay
The w-space class determines the type of sleeper sites that will be spawned. In lower classes, easier sites will spawn; and in higher classes, harder sites will spawn. The same site, if spawned in a higher class system, may include a few more ships and a possible increase in scrambling, webbing and remote repair (RR) ships (this applies to Ladar and Gravimetric sites only). Expect sleepers in Class 1 and 2 not to warp scramble or only rarely; Class 3 and 4 you will encounter some warp scrambling; Class 5 and 6 expect 75% to 90% of the sleepers (yes Battleships too) to warp scramble, stasis web and/or NOS (30 KM scramble range in some cases). I think it also goes without saying that as you get into higher class w-space systems you will see an increase in the types of status effects used by the sleeper NPCs and an increase in the number of NPCs with those effects at their disposal.
Suddenly the illusion of solitude shatters. Slender, articulated obsidian shapes slide toward you from the surrounding darkness of space. Your sensors scream claxons into your auditory cortex as the drones' targeting systems lock onto your ship. You are not alone. Perhaps you never were.
The Sleepers have risen. -Core Stronghold
Sleeper Site Escalation
Site escalation can be caused when you bring a large force into a site (capitals, large amounts of non-capital ships, etc). Site escalation does seem to also happen randomly on occasion, even without the presence of a large force. Site escalation may cause extra sleepers to spawn and additional waves to have increased spawn counts. Additionally, site escalation does not always seem to happen. This form of escalation was put in place to provide an extra challenge when players bring in more than enough to handle a site. When a Magnetometric site escalates it seems to also cause the Talocan spawn container to appear.
Sleeper Capital Escalation
Capital escalation is caused when you warp certain types of capital ships into a site. Capital escalation appears to be tied to two, and only two, classes of capitals (it should be obvious which two), with each having their own escalation chain. For each class, the first capital will spawn 6 Sleepless Guardians, the 2nd capital will spawn 8 Sleepless Guardians, additional capitals will not trigger any further escalation. This form of escalation was put in place to provide an additional challenge when bringing capital ships into a site. Capital escalation only happens on combat sites (i.e. Anomalies, Magnetometric, Radar) and does not occur at gas or asteroid belts (i.e. Ladar and Gravimetric).
Alice warps her Thanatos into an anomaly, which causes 6 Sleeper Guardian battleships to spawn. Bob then warps his Thanatos into the same anomaly, which causes another 8 Sleeper Guardian battleships to spawn. Alice then starts yelling at Bob as the 14 Sleeper Guardians and the rest of the anomaly NPCs reduce their capitals to wrecks over the next two minutes.
Sleeper AI
The sleeper NPC AI is much more complex than normal NPC AI. Sleepers will switch targets regularly, attacking drones too. They also exhibit advanced threat detection and target selection. The sleepers handle multiple targets most dynamically; a sleeper may be warp scrambling Alice and stasis webbing Bob while it is shooting at Charlie.
Alice in the logistics ship may find herself drawing all the aggro while they ignore Bob in the shuttle.
Sleeper Remote Rep
The sleepers that have remote repair ability will use it, sometimes to an annoying extent. Those sleeper frigates, cruisers and battleships, that can remote repair each other will do so indiscriminately; they also tend to assist the ones you happen to be shooting, aren't they clever. This can become annoying when, for example, the battleships have remote repair and are also the trigger for the next wave and they are happily remote repairing the frigates and cruisers while you try to kill them. The issue can be compounded if said frigates and cruisers also have the remote repair capability. Care should be taken on sites with large amounts of RR sleeper ships that a next wave isn't triggered ahead of time.

Karate is excellent for elderly people.
Lots of people would discount this particular outlook and recourse for Tai Chi Chuan. However, you will find reasons Karate is obviously a lot better than Tai Chi Chuan. I shall get in these reasons after in this guide, for the time being, let us go through the most obvious advantages.
To begin with, the most obvious truth, jelqing is calisthenics. Every single time you get to the front position you're carrying out a 'lunge.' Every single time you drop to a back posture you're carrying out a 'squat' on a single leg.
Every single time you tighten the uterus at the ending of a pinch, or block, then you're running an entire selection of muscles. Every single time you play kick, at low levels, you're taking care of balance and endurance.
And also the range of repetitions, not being overrun by such matters like iron discs, might be large, and also of far more benefit than just something as limited as Pilates.
Even the simple fact of the issue some exercise is beneficial to you personally, however weight loss exercises, if done correctly, are only the ideal exercise to your own body. Visit Thai Senior Hub website to know more about elderly health.
Let us perform a very simple comparison between also a handful of different alternatives.
Taichi Chuan is fantastic, but the majority of folks teach it to get health, for 'chi power,' and minus the combat software.
But energy is assembled by the goal, and with no partner, one only does not develop adequate intention to construct and develop energy.
So, common tai-chi methods are one-tenth as effective as carrying out a style with somebody. So they simply take ten times as much time to master.
Yoga is very good; however, it's an extremely adventurous practice. It's true, you certainly can perform it at a room on your own, and however, you don't have any true responses to construct on.

Summer snacks!
Well, I hope you weren't holding your breath for that Flag Day cupcake recipe but don't worry, here it is!
These babies were incredibly delicious. I felt a little hesitant about using boxed cake mix, but when something tastes this good, it erases shame.
Don't skip out on the frosting recipe though, it really makes a difference. It was so good that I took what was left home with me, to eat, sans cake.
These can be used for any occasion, it just depends on the dye you decide to use, but it's not an accident I'm posting them in time for the 4th of July either.
I know that seems like it's a little far away, so you should probably start testing (and tasting) the recipe now, right?
I got this recipe over at The Girl Who Ate Everything and true to it's title, I ate every last crumb of these cupcakes. Thank god I had a dinner party to bring them to, or my roommates would have found me buried in wrappers.

Will Power
Not everything can be done with will power and self-discipline. This is very hard for people like me to accept because I can do so much with self-discipline and will power. I do this blog everyday. I exercise and eat properly. I can walk away from sweets and glutin. I can look at chocolate but not eat it. I meditate and attend to friends, spiritual path and otherwise. But I cannot do sobriety with my will power and self-discipline. Know thyself! Everyday I have to accept this, be grateful, and take action so that I don't get onto the lonely road of "being dry." If you have something that you cannot do alone with your own will power, you are not a bad person. You are human. Accept limits and then connect with others to help you. If I am honest, like in my blogs, and with friends and helpmates, I enjoy good and sober days. And on not so good days, I still enjoy the sober part. This means that no days are all bad!

Some Rotherham dog walkers take your dog for a walk one to one, other services might take groups of dogs, so it might be wise to go over your exact needs with any potential dog walker if you have a preference. If your furry friend is sociable and gets on with other dogs, group walking could be more beneficial, but if your dog doesn't get on well with other dogs, a solo walk might be best.
Several Rotherham dog walkers also provide additional pet services and not simply for dogs, for example they might pop along to your house every day to feed or check on your pets, provide dog boarding whenever you're on holiday, collect your pet and taxi it to the vet or give your dog or puppy some basic training if necessary.

Angelica is almost 18 years old (Halloween baby!) and has been in love with Pinup culture for two years! Her love for retro and vintage stemmed from her artwork, where she did not hold herself back from drawing what she felt was showcasing true sex appeal. After a lot of scrutiny for drawing pinup girls, Angelica had a mission to find a way to prove that pinups are classy in all ways and forms. After accumulating at least a years worth of the history of the pinup girl, Angelica then began to model around Feb. of 2013, and has mainly done pinup modeling. She really enjoys replicating the look, and is often seen in a rockabilly fashion. Angelica is a freelance artist as well as makeup artist in the Central Florida area.

The category of "relation" has long been central to Trinitarian theology,[1] but in recent theology it has become a transcendental, as many theologians have argued that relationality is the leading feature not only of divine life but of created life.[2] Human beings made in the image of the Triune God are analogically "relational" beings and relationality characterizes the non-human world as well.
Among the critics of this approach, Kathryn Tanner and Lewis Ayres stand out for their clarity. Since God and humans are ontologically different, the move from talk of God's relationality to human relationships is not, Tanner points out, straightforward. Because of the gap between God and human beings, ordinary language does not apply to God in the same way it does to humans. What does "equal" mean in the statement "divine persons are equal"? What do "person" or "relation" mean when applied to God? Divine persons are their relations, but human beings exist, Tanner says, before the relations they have among themselves, and divine persons have a fixed identity that is not characteristic of human beings: the Father is no one's Son, and the Son will never be Himself a Father.[3]
Ayres likewise objects that attempts at Trinitarian ontology are unclear about their concept of analogy. A proper concept of analogy must both honor the Creator-creature distinction and recognize the presence of God within His creation. Because of the differences between God and humans, terms like "relation" cannot be used univocally when applied to one or the other. Ayres is also concerned that relational ontologies bypass the classical emphasis on contemplative purification, involving both meditation on Scripture, with attention to the unfolding revelation of Scripture, as well as participation in the life of the church. Relational ontologies too often treat Trinitarian patterns of life as if they were blueprints that could be grasped by just anyone and applied to some human grouping.[4]
It is worth noting that both Tanner and Ayres believe that Trinitarian theology, properly understood and qualified, does provide resources for understanding creation and human relationality. Tanner emphasizes God's initiative in restoring human relations. Human do not imitate but participate in the divine communion. Thus she highlights the mission of the Son and Spirit and the way the relations of the Persons in the economy of redemption affect human relations: "A life empowered by the Spirit in service to the mission of the Father for the world means that Jesus is with and for us, and that we, in turn, are to be with and for one another." Thus the mission brings in a "new community" whose "way of being is what the Trinitarian relations as they show themselves in the economy . . . amount to in human relational terms."[5] Ayres too concludes that "the divine relationships certainly should provide material that should be of immense help in shaping our vision of the world" and can "serve as a guide for our engagement of ontological thought." Created things do reflect God, but we see that reflection rightly when "the grasping is part of our move towards the Creator."[6]
So the problem is not with the effort to discover analogies between divine and human relationality per se. In fact, the objections that Tanner and Ayres offer are not objections from the doctrine of the Trinity as such. Rather, they are "meta-Trinitarian" objections, methodological objections, objections rooted less in Trinitarian theology than in the theology of creation and notions of theological language.
Let me begin at the end. Scripture uses a variety of words and names for God. Many of the descriptions of God are applications of created terms to God: God is Rock, Light, Sun, Shield, etc. He stands in relation to humanity and Israel in ways describable in terms of human relations: He is King, Father, Lord, Husband, etc. Everywhere, the Bible speaks anthropomorphically and cosmo-morphically about God.
Though it is apparent that the words must be taken in an analogical or figurative sense, Scripture exhibits no anxiety about using such terms. Nowhere in Scripture does anyone hint that such words are incapable of telling the truth about God, nor do we find any sign of the gymnastics that often characterize theologians' efforts to explain theological language. Scripture claims that many of these terms are God's own self-descriptions (e.g., Genesis 15:1), and naively supposes that human language can bear God's revelation. The import of these descriptions seems straightforward: God is Rock-like and Shield-like, King-like and Father-like in some unspecified but meaningful way. How He is such is left to context and narrative. The analogies are often bewildering: "You neglected the Rock who begot you, and forgot the God who gave you birth" (Deuteronomy 32:18). Some, though, are straightforward: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him" (Psalm 103:13).
That is simply a description of the phenomenon of Scripture. But it is a noteworthy phenomenon, and we should pause to ask how it is that Scripture is so very unconcerned about the problems that have preoccupied theologians for many centuries.
Perhaps the biblical writers were theologically naïve. They believed that ordinary human language could tell the truth about God, and that ordinary things in the world were suitable analogies to God. In particular, it may be that they were incapable of conceiving God's majesty and transcendence in the way that later theology would. That is an implausible explanation. One suspects a counsel of despair whenever an explanation depends on the primitivism of the Bible. Besides, the biblical writers were well aware of the Creator's transcendent majesty, yet also wrote without hesitation about God's similarity to creation. The same Isaiah who trembles in awe before Yahweh's majesty describes Him without embarrassment as a "Lord" (adonai) who sits on a throne wearing a robe (Isaiah 6:1).
I suggest that the Bible is unselfconscious about its language is because of the assumed view of creation, human nature, and therefore of human language.
All created things were made by God, designed after His Wisdom and Logos. As such, it is communication from God about God (Psalm 19).[8] God made rocks, and in making them (we may surmise) intended them to be useful to display some of His glory. God created human beings in His image, and in so doing designed them to be suitable icons of His character. God oversaw the formation of human families and polities, and as He did so, He directed them so that a "father" and a "king" depict in various ways how Yahweh relates to His creation, to human beings, and to His people in particular. God created everything to communicate of Himself. That is the nature and purpose of everything created. If that is what created things are, and if God is the Creator who knows and governs His universe, then created things are designed to speak of Him.
Scripture also assumes that God speaks human. Because God designed creation and humanity to communicate something of Himself, He can speak in ordinary human language about Himself. God has revealed Himself in human language, that human language has been preserved in the Bible, and it is ordinary human language. Therefore, ordinary human language is adequate for communicating the reality of God to us. Of course, there is mystery at every point, but why should we expect anything else? We want to talk about an infinite, incomprehensible God and creatures made in His image.
Many theologians do not take this biblical "data" at face value. Tanner begins her essay with questions about whether "ordinary language" is capable of describing God adequately.[9] If we give a negative answer to that question, it seems that we face two options: Either we must have access to some extraordinary language that can describe God adequately, or we are left in silence. Or, in practice, we let certain descriptions of God slip through, but catch others with our apophatic net. What determines what gets through and what does not is a question that charity prevents me from speculating about.
When we begin from the Bible's own assumptions about creation, and the implicit view of language that follows from creation, we expect to discover analogies between uncreated and created relations. Of course, they are not the same, and we need to specify the disanalogies along the way. But if we follow the lead of a Bible that speaks of God anthropomorphically, we should should not let the disanalogies frighten us into silence. Because human relations – king and people, father and child, husband and wife, brother and brother, friend and friend – do not reveal the Trinity exhaustively. But they are designed to reveal the communion of the Triune Persons, and to reveal them truthfully.
Peter J. Leithart is President of Trinity House.
[1] Augustine's refutation of Arian arguments turns on the introduction of the term "relation" alongside "substance" and "accident" (On the Trinity, Book 5), and Thomas describes the persons with the metaphysical novelty, "subsistent relations."
[2] This is stated most forthrightly in the title of John Zizioulas's Being as Communion.

[5] Tanner, "Social Trinitarianism," 382-85.
[6] Ayres, "(Mis)Adventures," 143-45.
[7] Tanner, "Social Trinitarianism," 384.
[8] J.G. Hamann put it well: God speaks through the creature to the creature.
[9] Tanner's opening questions assume that "ordinary language" fails only when applied to God. Apparently, it easily captures and describes created things. That is questionable. Do we know what we mean when we say "human person" or "human relation"? It is far preferable to acknowledge that creation too is a mystery.
