Two articles by Chadron State College faculty members will be published in specialized law journals this spring.
An article addressing how Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance relates to the Internet and online education by Dr. Nathaniel Gallegos and Dr Jesse Sealey will be published in the spring 2015 volume of "The Journal of Technology Law & Policy."
Gallegos is an assistant business professor and Sealey is an assistant education professor.
A second article by Gallegos regarding agribusiness will be published in the spring 2015 volume of "The Drake Journal of Agricultural Law."
Gallegos said he became interested in the concepts for the ADA article based on CSC's large array of online courses.
"As soon as I started here, Dr. Carnot and the Teaching and Learning Center were very instrumental in helping me form my teaching style. I attended a workshop last year that got into the legal aspects of online courses and that piqued my interest into the area," he said.
Sealey said CSC faculty members have been urged to implement the Quality Matters (QM) rubric mentioned in the article to all courses.
QM, a peer review process, helps faculty members see that their courses are designed and delivered in a manner that complies with ADA. Each three-member review team is highly qualified including a peer from an outside institution, a subject matter expert and a team leader, Sealey said.
In the fall of 2014, Gallegos and Sealey began research with the goal in mind to publish the article together. Gallegos focused on the legal research and history of the ADA while Sealey focused on the online educational aspect.
"It is important that faculty create courses that allow all students to accomplish the goals of their courses and education. It's not so much a tale of caution for faculty to 'do this or else,' but rather, it is for faculty to recognize that there are methods that the law is saying for us to use to bring broader access of our content to learners," Gallegos said.
Gallegos, who serves as the committee chair for the agribusiness option within the comprehensive business administration major, said his background in law and agricultural economics was beneficial while researching and writing the agribusiness article.
Gallegos teaches BA 432 in which the legal aspects of business entities are discussed and AGRI 431, an agricultural policy course.
In his effort to illuminate the uniqueness of agriculture as a form of business, Gallegos recently designed an MBA course in agribusiness, BA 623, which will launch this summer.

Are We a Democracy
Are We Ruled by Capitalism
The Bigger The Wallet The Bigger The Rule
When a peasant uses his body as a shield
Emotionally it is very easy to get frustrated with the upper echelon of society. The upper echelon think because their monetary value is greater than yours you should heel to their whims and needs. Well it is not true. Hubarism only breeds conflict and animosity. If we do not include all people in a business plan we are breeding a environment for retaliation and revolution. No man is an Island and everyone has equal rights to resources.
You are not a one eyed King in the land of blind minions. You are merely a sprocket in a big well oiled machinery. The machine will find a way to function without you, but you cannot function without a machine. Hubris is merely a state of mind not a social standing. Social standing is what other people think of you. It does not give you the right to dictate or manipulate them. It means they will follow you out of respect.
Now for those who wonder who gives me the right to speak up on things surrounding the development of The Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park, well it is easy. It is called sustainable utilisation of non renewable and renewable resources. It does not mean because you can manipulate the resources that you have the right to do it. It only means you are a greedy asshole/bitch. Nothing more. The sad part if you rule with the sword you will die by the sword. If you create an economy where the strongest will feast you will soon be feasted upon. That is a fact.

NEW YORK: ICE cotton hit a more-than two week high on Monday as investors exited short positions after the strongest weekly gain in more than four months, triggering technical buying above a key support level.
The most-active March cotton contract on ICE Futures US gained 0.53 cent, or 0.9 percent, to settle at 59.89 cents a lb after rising as high as 60.08 cents, its highest level since Jan. 15.
Fiber rose 3.6 percent last week, its largest weekly gain since the week ended Sept. 12.
That prompted investors who focus more on day-end and week-end levels than intraday moves to cover their bearish cotton bets on Monday, said Ron Lawson, a partner at commodity investment firm Logic Advisors in Sonoma, California.
"The specs enter into the market in dribs and drabs, here and there. They exit in concert," Lawson said. Speculators increased their net short position in cotton futures and options to a four-month high of 22,925 contracts in the week ended Jan. 27, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed Friday after market close.
The March contract received a boost in morning trading after it exceeded its 20-day moving average at 59.34 cents a lb, exaggerating gains.

How Big Of A Harry Potter Fan Are You?
Obviously, this is for those of us who are Harry Potter fans.
1. Do you wish that the whole world of Harry Potter (Hogwarts, Dumbledore, house elves, etc.) were
2. If someone had the ability to make Harry's world real, which school would you want to be in? Why?
3. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (UK title: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), the
sorting hat says this about the houses:
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
If you chose Hogwarts, which house would you want to be in? Which do you think you'd be in?
Why? I'm not sure about myself, but I do know I'm not a patient person, nor am I a cunning person
who would use any means to achieve my ends.
4. What did you think of Snape before the 6th book came out? What did you think of him after the 6th
book came out? How about after the 7th? Were you surprised by the end?
5. What books, besides the school textbooks, would you want? Why?
6. What sort of books would you like there to be? Why?
7. How many times have you read the Harry Potter books?
8. Do you just have the 7 books about Harry or do you have the movies? Do you have the 7 books and
all the movies to have come out so far? Do you have the extra books? Do you have every Harry
Harry Potter thing you could get your hands on? Have any replica's from the Harry Potter movies?
9. Have you read through the 7 books, and then re-read them and noted discrepancies?
10. Do you daydream about the world of Harry Potter and of being a part of that world?
11. If the world of Harry Potter did become real and you could attend Hogwarts, which era would you
want to attend during? While Voldemort was at Hogwarts? While Harry's parents were there? Or
would you want to attend Hogwarts along with Harry? Or would you prefer to attend after Lord
Voldemort's demise?
12. If you could attend Hogwarts during any part before Voldemort was finally finished off, is there
anything you would like to change?
13. If you attended Hogwarts with Harry, would you be friends with him? Is he the kind of person
you would normally be friends with, or would you be in it for the fame or adventure? Would you
attend Hogwarts with Harry because of the people there in his time and just to learn things, and not
bother with the whole war? Would you be as close a friend to Harry as possible and be with him on
every adventure?

The remains of a woman murdered in America 183 years ago have been buried in her native county in a "miraculous" homecoming.
Catherine Burns, 29, left Co Tyrone in 1832 in hope of catching "the tail of the American dream", but within six weeks she was dead and lay in an unmarked grave in the US for almost two centuries.
Around 400 people turned out for the funeral mass and burial of the tragic widow at Clonoe Chapel near Coalisland.
Ms Burns was among a group of 57 Irish immigrants from Donegal, Tyrone and Derry, who sailed across the Atlantic on the John Stamp ship from Derry to Philadelphia, and were hired to build a railway between Philadelphia and Columbia, on a site that became known as Duffy's Cut.
Within six weeks, all were dead of cholera and possibly violence, and were buried anonymously in a ditch.
All that is known about Ms Burns prior to her violent death is based on an entry on the ship's log which states her age, the county she is from, her marital status, and the fact she had no luggage.
The case has been researched at Immaculata University in Pennsylvania by the Duffy's Cut Project, an ongoing archival and archaeological search into their lives and deaths.
Among mourners at the funeral was Dr William Watson, professor of history at Immaculata University and senior member of the Duffy's Cut Project.
Dr Watson excavated Ms Burns's remains in July 2010, and he brought her back home to Co Tyrone this week.
Speaking after he and his colleagues played the pipes at the graveside, he said: "It's miraculous. This whole thing's miraculous. I was sitting in the church and it was kind of like an outer body experience.
"I couldn't believe it was happening. The choir, the sermon, the trappings of the mass, the whole community out. It's just overwhelming."
He added: "I think an important chapter in all our lives has come to a conclusion."
Dr Watson hailed the effort put in by Clonoe Parish and the crowd of people who turned out for the funeral.
"This is incredible. It's a lot of people, and good people," he said.
It is not known exactly where in Co Tyrone Ms Burns was from, but Clonoe parish priest Fr Benny Fee said "all of Tyrone belongs to Catherine Burns".
Her remains were carried into the chapel by three women from the parish who are also called Catherine, along with a researcher from the Duffy's Cut Project.
During his sermon, Fr Fee said it was an "awesome privilege" for the people of Tyrone to welcome Ms Burns home.
Referring to how little is known about Ms Burns, he said: "What we do know is that she knew suffering.
"She was married and already widowed at the tender age of 29. Before she was 30 she had loved and she had lost.
"Today, Catherine belongs to all the widows of our land, those women who loved and lost, today also is their day."
Fr Fee said Ms Burns set off for America because she had "no other choice", adding: "She could stay at home and starve or she could gamble on taking the ship across the broad Atlantic and with a bit of luck, catch the tail of the American dream."
At an Irish wake prior to the funeral, Dr Watson said: "I think it's amazing that Catherine Burns got something that she has not had for the past 180 years.
"For the sake of justice and righting a historical wrong this goes a long way. This is huge. From our perspective this is overwhelming actually."
He added: "We're researchers but we're also human beings. And it's just a very emotional thing."
Dr Watson said forensic teams were able to confirm that the remains belonged to a woman of about 30.
He said the skull of Ms Burns shows "massive peri-mortem violence by means of a sharp implement which would have caused her death".
He added: "We believe Catherine was murdered in an attempt to contain the cholera epidemic, which the locals believed was being spread by the immigrant railroad workers.
"The workers were a convenient scapegoat for the community, which did not understand the etiology of the disease."
Ms Burns's square box-shaped coffin was buried beneath the Tall Cross of Clonoe a few metres from the Parochial House where a Tyrone flag was flying next to an American flag.
Catherine Hanna, 26, from Derrylaughan in the Clonoe area, helped to carry the coffin into the chapel and to its final resting place.
"It was an honour to be asked. It is good to be a part of history in Clonoe," she said.
Catherine Campbell, 56, also from the parish, said: "I just think it's nice to see she's not forgotten and she's finally laid to rest."

Sarah Carter writes: The many columns by Michele Hanson sustained me for several years. First Treasure, who was the same age as my own free-spirited daughter – she painted her bedroom black at the same time as mine did – and then Mother, whose death came just before that of my own mother, who died aged 101 after living with me for 13 years. I do not know how I would have managed all those years without Michele's caustic commentary.
After I wrote a condolence letter to her on her mother's death she rang me up – much easier than writing a reply, she said – and I felt even more bonded to her. And when she launched her book Living With Mother at the Guardian's offices I was able to tell her in person.
Margaret Heaton writes: I feel that I have lost a friend in Michele Hanson. Way back when she was writing about looking after her mother, she was bemoaning how long it took to peel potatoes. I wrote telling her it was totally unnecessary, and that we never peel ours, as most of the nutrients are just behind the skin. She sent such a lovely letter in response.

MRP/Thesis abstract:
Micro-finance in Pakistan: Examining Gender and Entrepreneurship
Women belonging to low-income households are the primary clients of microfinance in the Global South. However, studies have indicated that in Pakistan women have limited access to credit. This research examines factors that prevent women from being the main beneficiaries of microfinance and the barriers that microfinance confronts in contributing to sustainable development in low-income households. This paper argues that the gender-blind policies of microfinance institutions limit women's access to credit. Furthermore, women often utilize loans for household consumption or pass on loans to male-led enterprises due to the fact that women are not self-employed entrepreneurs. Gender-related issues and the traditional division of household labour prevent many women from engaging in entrepreneurial activity. In addition, the microfinance institutions studied in this research fail to enforce their own policy of only providing loans for the purpose of investment in an enterprise. A majority of loans are used for consumption smoothing purposes, which can eventually indebt clients and their families instead of resulting in an increase in income or empowerment.

My morning commute was long this morning. The highways are packed. In fact, as soon as I saw that the traffic on the Met (the highway I take to work) was bumper to bumper, I turned up my radio and decided to enjoy the music as I settled in for a long drive.
Which also gave me time to think…
This morning I read a blog post that started off with passport pictures 10 years apart and this got me to thinking about my own span of passport images. (I'll have to dredge them up for a photo op). My very first passport picture (the one that I took with me to Europe at the tender age of 18) features yours truly sporting long flowing hippie hair and a black hippie style top (more about that top later). Now, that combined with the fact that I have been blessed or cursed with sleepy eyes (I've been told I have bedroom eyes (when not thinking about sex), like I'm about to cry (when I'm perfectly happy), or that I'm completely disinterested (when I'm actually paying attention and thinking about what's being said) because of said eyes throughout my life)… anyways… Given the combo of eyes and fashion at the time, it really is no wonder at all that during my trip to Europe, I was approached by a stranger on the Paris metro asking if I wanted to buy any weed.
The irony behind this? That my type-A self was not up for buying pot from a stranger and getting stoned in a strange city. No flippin' way. Next stop on the Euro tour, Amsterdam, only served to reinforce my reasons way this girl will never again partake an unknown city. I do not like not knowing where I am, being too dumb to think, trying to communicate in foreign languages, and find my way about town. Yeah, maybe I wouldn't admit it then, but now I'm comfortable acknowledging that I'm far too type-A for that type of adventure!
But back to that top. I loved that top. I wish I still had it now. It'd totally still wear it, provided that it still fit. In fact, rummaging through my make-up box this morning, I found my old perfume from my younger days, and putting it on, found myself filled with nostalgia for my former hippie crunchy self. Oh, no worries, my inner crunch has never completely gone away, she's just a little more urbane and less idealistically polemic these days (really, I swear it's true even if it doesn't seem like it at time when reading this blog). Just you wait, in a few years she'll be resurfacing though. I'm totally going to go earth baby mama when I get preggers.
Yup, I'll be the mom wearing the baby wrap, dancing barefoot in the living room, making organic baby foods, and finances willing, travelling the world, baby wrapped and in tow. Oh yes, one day probably not so far away from now… (Paul would be horrified that I'm sharing that on this blog, particularly because I do so in the same post that I talk about weed (HA)… thank god for him, his friends don't read this!) Whatever. In fact, I'm fully looking forward to crunchy baby mama days. I actually look forward to having my own child to frolic with. Although children can be restricting, in some ways I'm really looking forward to the way that they can also allow you to be freer with your expressions.
Talking out loud, totally ok when you have a baby.
Dancing alone in your living room? Considered cute and adorable when you do it with a baby!
Playing in the sand… a sign of a good mom.
Yup, for all of my worries about the restrictions of motherhood, losing my identity, difficulties in travel, financial stress, etc, etc, etc… I think the fact that I will finally be able to dance around in the living room without seeming like I'm crazy is a definite perk! And I'm willing to admit that I fully intend on making the most of it. Oh yeah, baby, it's gonna happen!

hippie crunchy baby mama...
2 comments:
LOL, I don't think you've lost as much crunch as you may think. ;)ReplyDelete
Yes, the chance to embrace your childish freedom is totally allowed when you have an actual child, one point that does make me rather envious, since people do not react with the same bemused, laissez-faire attitude when you do similar things with your dog! Boo.
But then, I will perhaps have the chance to dance and be silly with your baby - if I may be so bold - so I shouldn't complain too much. ;)
Ha, true enough! Or... maybe you just didn't know me in my crunchiest of days! And yes, one day, in the future (not any time soon) I will let you dance and be silly with said hypothetical baby!ReplyDelete

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in Franklin TN
Who has the best Franklin debt consolidation services?
Franklin consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Franklin loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Franklin debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Franklin loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Franklin consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in Tennessee to find Franklin credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Franklin TN. The reason the best place to find Franklin debt consolidation lenders in Tennessee is because you will be able to find the right Franklin lender for you. Your local Franklin banks may not specialize in the right Franklin consolidation loans for you or have Tennessee lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best Tennessee debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Franklin loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in Franklin TN
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Franklin banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in Tennessee with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Franklin debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Franklin credit card counseling programs. These Franklin loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Franklin loan. Your Tennessee credit rating, your ability to repay the Franklin loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Franklin bank policies on Tennessee lending will determine if you get a Franklin consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Franklin Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Franklin loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard Tennessee loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Franklin monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Franklin loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Franklin Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Franklin debt consolidation lenders may give you Franklin loan consolidation. Unsecured Franklin loans are the riskiest loans to give by a Tennessee lender. This is because if the Franklin loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Franklin banks do for Franklin debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Franklin loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Franklin loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Franklin credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Franklin bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.

Live Like You Were Dying Series
Contributed by Pat Damiani on May 11, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: 16th in a series from Ecclesiastes. The fact that we are going to die ought ot impact the way that we live.
Last Saturday, a 50-1 long shot named Mine That Bird won the 135th Kentucky Derby, surging all the way from last place to first on the final turn and the home stretch. This was an improbable victory for a horse that was purchased last year for only $9,500, a real bargain compared to the millions paid for some of the other competitors in the race. In his previous race Mine That Bird had finished out of the money in 4th place at a race at Sunland Park in New Mexico and his trainer Chip Woolley, Jr. had to load him in his trailer and pull him to Churchill Downs with his pickup truck in order to compete.
It is just this kind of unpredictability that Qoheleth has in mind as he continues writing in Ecclesiastes chapter 9:
1 For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them. 2 All things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath. 3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4 But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun. 7 Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works. 8 Let your garments always be white, And let your head lack no oil. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. 11 I returned and saw under the sun that - The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all. 12 For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.
Ecclesiastes 9:1-12 (NKJV)
Much of what we find in this passage seems quite familiar to all of us who have been here throughout our journey through Ecclesiastes. So perhaps the three principles that I'm going to share with you this morning are not necessarily new. But I think it will be helpful for us to be reminded of them again in a slightly different way. So let's look at the three broad principles that we find here in this passage.
1. My life is in God's hand
• Even when life doesn't make sense
Once again, Qoheleth laments the fact that from his perspective "under the sun" life doesn't always make sense. As he has done before, he describes how the righteous often suffer and the wicked sometimes prosper.
And then in verse 11, one of those familiar passages in Ecclesiastes that is often taken out of context, he describes last week's Kentucky Derby. The race does not always go to the fastest, the battle is not always won by the strongest, the wise man does not always prosper, the most skillful person does not always get the job. And from our perspective here on earth this all seems to be due purely to chance.
But Qoheleth recognizes that is not the case. As he makes clear in verse 1, the works of man are firmly in God's hand. And the logical conclusion that we must make from that fact is that…
• God has a purpose in all that He does

On our website we cover a lot of ways how to repel, kill or get rid of mosquitoes with things like natural and chemical mosquito repellants, mosquito traps and of course mosquito foggers. And although in our article on what attracts mosquitoes we already established that things like dark clothing, sweat and body odor and perfume and beauty products are a big mosquito lure, a new study shows that your genes might be also one of the reasons mosquitoes favor you not the person next to you.
A new study by London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine was just released that came to the conclusion that the likelihood of mosquito biting you could be down to your genes. This is the first time any research has found actual real evidence that the genetic component might be the reason mosquitoes find one person more attractive than other, because genetic is one of the things that control our body odor. But body odor is one of the biggest things that lure mosquitoes, because they are able to sense body odor with their sensory organs.
How did the researchers determine this?
This study was based on previous research that studied attractiveness to insects based on differences in body odor, which determined that genetic might be at fault here, because it is the trait that controls body odor. And also this study was based on the fact, that female mosquitoes prefer the smell of certain people based on the body odor they produce, flying more towards these people and biting them instead of those who have body odors that aren't attractive to mosquitoes.
In the study itself they used 18 sets of identical and 19 sets of non-identical female twins to determine mosquito attractiveness to particular gene pool. Dengue mosquitoes were released into Y-shaped tube that divides into two sections. Study participants placed their hand on the end of each of these two sections and the mosquitoes were allowed to fly towards the twin that seems more attractive to them. And then based on the mosquito count of mosquitoes each twin attracted it is determined which of the twins is more attractive to mosquitoes.
And the results were that identical twin pairs were similarly attractive to mosquitoes, but the non identical twin pairs showed larger difference in their attractiveness to mosquitoes.
What this study means?
It means that with time this kind of study only on wider scale could allow researchers to better understand mosquitoes and what they are attracted to, to develop better ways to control and repel mosquitoes as well as control the diseases they carry, to diminish the amount of people that gets sick or die from various mosquito-born diseases. These kind of studies might be the key to create more effective mosquito repellents that are able to keep us safe from mosquito bites once and for all, by creating more efficient mosquito repellents that are specially designed to eliminate the smells or components of our body odor that attract the mosquitoes and that are the reason mosquitoes fly towards particular people in the first place.

Apple testing slow-motion camera mode for future iPhone?
July 14, 2013 Leave a comment
Hidden code behind Apple's latest iOS 7 beta suggests that the company may be testing a slow-motion video setting.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple is "actively working" on the feature codenamed "Mogul", but couldn't confirm if it would arrive on the next iPhone.
It is reported that the feature would enable users to shoot at significantly higher speeds, which would allow playback at a slower speed, retaining crisp detail.
"Mogul" allegedly captures video at 120 frames per second, while the current iPhone can only capture 30.
Despite claims of the feature on iOS 7, it is not thought that existing devices will gain slow-motion in the future due to hardware limitations.
Previous reports have indicated that Apple could introduce several other new features in the future.
Head-movement controls are among the additions thought to be coming, as well as edge-swipe and corner-swipe gestures, which were displayed in a video purportedly showing "secret settings".

Base - The EU research project "Bottom-Up Climate Adaptation Strategies Towards a Sustainable Europe" (BASE) supports action for sustainable climate change adaptation in Europe. BASE makes experiential and scientific information on adaptation meaningful, transferable and easily accessible to decision-makers at all levels. The project is funded under the EUs 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7).
Resilens - Critical infrastructure (CI) provides the essential functions and services that support European societal, economic and environmental systems. As both natural and man-made disaster and crises situations become more common place, the need to ensure the resilience of CI so that it is capable of withstanding, adapting and recovering from adverse events is paramount. Moving resilience from a conceptual understanding to applied, operational measures that integrate best practice from the related realm of risk management and vulnerability assessment is the focus of the RESILENS project. RESILENS (Realising European ReSILiencE for CritIcaL INfraStructure) will develop a European Resilience Management Guideline (ERMG) to support the practical application of resilience to all CI sectors. Accompanying the ERMG will be a Resilience Management Matrix and Audit Toolkit which will enable a resilience score to be attached to an individual CI, organisation (e.g. CI provider) and at different spatial scales (urban, regional, national and transboundary) which can then be iteratively used to direct users to resilience measures that will increase their benchmarked future score. Other resilience methods including substitution processes and measures to tackle cascading effects will also be developed. The ERMG and resilience management methods will be tested and validated through stakeholder engagement, table-top exercises and three large-scale pilots (transport CI, electricity CI and water CI). The ERMG and accompanying resilience methods will be hosted on an interactive web based platform, the RESILENS Decision Support Platform (RES-DSP). The RES-DSP will also host an e-learning hub that will provide further guidance and training on CI resilience. Overall, RESILENS aims to increase and optimise the uptake of resilience measures by CI providers and guardians, first responders, civil protection personnel and wider societal stakeholders of Member States and Associated Countries.
Rain Project - Risk Analysis of Infrastructure Networks in Response to Extreme Weather
RAIN contributes to minimising the impact of extreme weather events on transport, energy and telecommunication networks. The project will develop early warning systems, decision support tools and engineering solutions to ensure rapid reinstatement of the network. This will improve reliability of critical infrastructures and reduce disruption for citizens.
CAMINO (Comprehensive Approach to cyber roadMap coordINation and develOpment). In the challenge to reduce exposure to climate threats such as flooding, many cities are developing adaptation strategies and plans. However implementation often appears to be complex and technological, governance and financial barriers abound. Especially in current economic conditions, many urban climate adaptation programmes have stalled. In the CAMINO project, Climate Adaptation Mainstreaming through Innovation, leading cities and local authorities will showcase innovative solutions where climate adaptation creates new business opportunities, or where innovative (public-private) governance approaches make investments more feasible. In doing so, CAMINO will provide Future Perspectives on the reconciliation of economic growth and climate adaptation. CAMINO reconciles economic growth (Europe2020) and climate adaptation. It delivers innovative governance approaches and business cases that support mainstreaming climate adaptation in local investment projects and product/service development.
CascEff The aim of the project is to improve our understanding of the cascading effects in crisis situations to reduce the consequences of escalating incidents in complex environments. In order to do so the CascEff project will identify initiators, dependencies and key decision points. These will be used to develop an Incident Evolution Tool which will enable improved decision support in escalating incidents, contributing to the reduction of collateral damages and other unfortunate consequences associated with large crises.
COBACORE (COmmunity-BAsed COmprehensive REcovery) is a collaborative research project funded by the European Commission involving Dutch, UK, German, Irish, Spanish and Slovakian partners. COBACORE seeks to close the collaboration gaps between stakeholders involved in post-crisis recovery. COBACORE also aims to improve the matching of needs with capacities, through building upon the community as an important source of information and capabilities. The COBACORE suite of tools, which are designed to complement existing practices and tools, will support common needs assessments efforts, damage recovery needs, economic needs, health and social needs, and other critical humanitarian needs. The COBACORE assets will stimulate community-wide involvement in information gathering, sense-making, and needs assessment practices.
FORTRESS (Foresight Tools for Responding to cascading effects in a crisis) is a three year project that started in April 2014 and will end in March 2017. The aim of the project is to identify and understand cascading effects of a crisis by using evidence-based information from a range of previous crisis situations. FORTRESS aims to improve crisis management practices by identifying the diversity of such cascading effects. Its main outputs include the development of a predictive model addressing potential impacts of decisions made in crisis situations, and the development of an incident evolution tool to assist decision-makers in preparing and training for crises with cascading effects. FORTRESS is funded by the European Commission, grant agreement no: 607579.
INFRARISK (Novel Indicators for identifying critical INFRAstructure at RISK from natural hazards) is developing a reliable stress test framework to establish the resilience of European Critical Infrastructure to rare, low frequency, extreme natural hazard events and to aid decision making in the long term regarding robust infrastructure development and the protection of existing infrastructure. In an integrated approach to hazard assessment, the project is focusing on the impacts of seismic, landslide and flooding hazards on road and rail transport infrastructure, considering the interdependencies of the networks, cascading hazards and cascading effects and spatial and temporal vulnerability.
PREDICT (PREparing for the Domino effect in Crisis situaTions).The aim of the PREDICT project is to provide a comprehensive solution for dealing with cascading effects in multi-sectoral crisis situations covering aspects of critical infrastructures. The PREDICT solution will be composed of the following three pillars: methodologies, models and software tools. Their integrated use will increase the awareness and understanding of cascading effects by crisis response organisations, enhances their preparedness and improves their response capability to respond in case of cascading failures.
REAKT (Strategies and tools for Real time EArthquake risK reducTion). The general objective of the Project is to improve the efficiency of real time earthquake risk mitigation methods and its capability of protecting structures, infrastructures and people. REAKT aims at establishing the best practice on how to use jointly all the information coming from earthquake forecast, early warning and real time vulnerability assessment. All this information needs to be combined in a fully probabilistic framework, including realistic uncertainties estimations, to be used for decision making in real time.
RECARE Although there is a large body of knowledge available on soil threats in Europe, this knowledge is fragmented and incomplete, in particular regarding the complexity and functioning of soil systems and their interaction with human activities.
The main aim of RECARE is to develop effective prevention, remediation and restoration measures using an innovative trans-disciplinary approach, actively integrating and advancing knowledge of stakeholders and scientists in 17 Case Studies, covering a range of soil threats in different bio-physical and socio-economic environments across Europe.
S-HELP (Securing Health Emergency Learning Planning) Large scale disasters – be they natural, deliberate or accidental – are inevitable. They do not respect borders, a large number of people will die and the long term consequences from economic to mental health can for years devastate the affected population. S-HELP targets the central challenges in risk management by developing a holistic framed approach.
CRISMA Modelling crisis management for improved action and preparedness. The CRISMA Integration Project focuses on large scale crisis scenarios with immediate and extended human, societal, structural and economic, often irreversible, consequences and impacts. Typically, these crisis scenarios cannot be managed alone with regular emergency and first responder resources, but require multi-organisational and multi-national cooperation including humanitarian aid.
The CRISMA project shall develop a simulation-based decision support system, for modelling crisis management, improved action and preparedness. CRISMA shall facilitate simulation and modelling of realistic crisis scenarios, possible response actions, and the impacts of crisis depending on both the external factors driving the crisis development and the various actions of the crisis management team.
RainGain project, funded by Interreg NWE IVB. Climate change and rapid urbanisation will result in increasing water management problems in urban areas throughout this century. Urban areas in North-Western Europe are especially vulnerable due their high population densities and high concentration of industrial and infrastructural assets. The most important challenge is to obtain reliable data and predictions on rainfall events at urban scale, which are currently unavailable.
CIPRNet - The Critical Infrastructure Preparedness and Resilience Research Network or CIPRNet establishes a Network of Excellence in Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). CIPRNet performs research and development that addresses a wide range of stakeholders including (multi)national emergency management, critical infrastructure operators, policy makers, and the society. By integrating resources of the CIPRNet partners acquired in more than 60 EU co-funded research projects, CIPRNet will create new advanced capabilities for its stakeholders. A key technology for the new capabilities will be modelling, simulation and analysis for CIP. CIPRNet builds a long-lasting virtual centre of shared and integrated knowledge and expertise in CIP. This virtual centre shall rovide durable support from research to end users. It will form the foundation for the European Infrastructures Simulation & Analysis Centre (EISAC) by 2020.
Strest - Critical Infrastructures (CIs) provide essential goods and services for modern society; they are highly integrated and have growing mutual dependencies. Recent natural events have shown that cascading failures of CIs have the potential for multi-infrastructure collapse and widespread societal and economic consequences. Moving toward a safer and more resilient society requires improved and standardized tools for hazard and risk assessment of low probability-high consequence (LP-HC) events, and their systematic application to whole classes of CIs, targeting integrated risk mitigation strategies. Among the most important assessment tools are the stress tests, designed to test the vulnerability and resilience of individual CIs and infrastructure systems. Following the results of the stress tests recently performed by the EC for the European Nuclear Power Plants, it is urgent to carry out appropriate stress tests for all other classes of CIs.
STAR-FLOOD stands for: "STrengthening And Redesigning European FLOOD risk practices: Towards appropriate and resilient flood risk governance arrangements". This project was awarded a grant of 5.4 Million Euros by the European Union (FP7). The project is focused on analysing, explaining, evaluating and designing policies to better deal with flood risks from rivers in urban agglomerations across Europe. The results of this ambitious project are expected to be highly relevant for policies and law at the European, national and regional level and for the development of public-private partnerships. STAR-FLOOD runs from 1 October 2012 until 31 March 2016.

Research shows that 95% of what we do or say in our daily lives is determined by our habits; that's why, it is very important to learn about success-creating habits and personality traits in order to get where we need to go. In the other words, the mighty people are not those who are good knower but good actors. Most achievements of the human society are the result of the initiatives of pragmatic personalities rather than retrogressive philosophers. For example, the changes created by Thomas Edison do not have roots in the great theories of philosophers such as Socrates and Plato.
The first, personal development strategy is to get used to doing job with prioritizing skills and try to apply the 80/20 principle both in your formal and informal life.When we facing our day, we first must ask ourselves what are the 20% of the things that we have to do that accounts for 80% of the value of our work.We would be amazed with the results of the increase of the productivities throughout the day and there is a direct correlation between productivity and the amount of self-confidence we have.
In clearer terms, we need to prioritize the top 20% of our works because there is never enough time in life to do everything but there is always enough time to do the important things. We always need to work on the top 20% of the items on our list that make up for the greatest amount of value whether it is what we accomplish at home or at your job. In fact, this is one of the best personal development tricks ever vastly used by successful people.
Human habits are trying to drag us to the easy and less value tasks but by using our wisdom, we must train ourselves (cultivate the habits) to concentrate on the hardest yet most valuable tasks if we really want to achieve the type of success that propels forward in life. In reality, it is the secret of all successful leaders; for instance,I remember the speech of popular president of United States, Barak Obama saying, "we do this job because this is not easy". Our leaders also need to remember this golden rule instead of being engulfed in ordinary activities.
The second personal development skill is goal oriented approach rather than being jack of all trades. Suppose, if we have been given a life and asked to live, what would be our first thought? The basic answer would be by doing what?what is proper for me during this lifetime to become? What is the road maps showing which mission is possible for my life? And these are the key focusing questions that set the basis for our lifelong goal! If we are unable to respond, we have no strategic goal and should not logical to expect any success.But need to note that everybody in this world has a different set of circumstances, different set of skills, and a different set of opportunities through which they can interact with the world and identify their unique goal and sense of fulfillment. Your mission in life should be to figure out what our unique, "sets" are and how you can take action to best capitalize on them that gives all of our efforts purpose and meaning.
The next personal development skill is time management which is really life management and crucial in accomplishing the tasks at hand.Time is the pivot of life activities and the greatest asset one can ever acquire. When you miss a second, you miss a time in your lifetime! "To mind your time, mind your thought! To mind your life, mind your time." That is why we need to make a to do list, when we make a list, it is like giving yourself a blueprint of things that must be done.
Also, we need to be aware of time dragons of the day such as face-book, twitter, instant messengers and other texting devices as they are the biggest addictive time wasters. In fact, they are the termite-like thieves which vitiate the most valuable asset and energy of young generation. Unfortunately, these vastly used in Afghanistan including in government and non-government offices, but most destructively in schools and universities. Millions of students are steeped in using social media network; as soon as they get up, they give priority to using Facebook or twittereven if the assignments are pending for several days.
In addition, public media such as national and international T.V channels broadcast violence and time-killing movies which has negative social and psychological effects on children. One may see many children who use the freestyle wrestling actions on streets, at schools and also at homes on smaller children. Likewise, there are various family conflicts learnt from violent scenes broadcasted by unsupervised channels.
To sum up, the most important personal development skill that you may keep in mind is to concentrate on the top important tasks tailored to the long-term goals and thus the valuable way of spending time. Farther more, cultivation of a personal thinking habit, taking a few minutes to think before every idea you express, before every phone call you make, and before every task to decide so as to answer you what result you want to attain. On the other hand, you have to think, think, think and then do not think. Means, need to free ourselves from all success barriers such as chains of fear, doubt, and negativity.There is never 100% ideal way of reaching our goals, so you need to be more pragmatic rather than being hesitant idealists.Finally, all three skills are interconnected but the time management skills and prioritizing skills are like tools for goal setting skill.So, if we fail to have a realistic and measureable goal, we will fail to apply both aforementioned skills.

My muscles are stupid, but, thanks in part to Heike's classes, they're becoming more aware. They're starting to assert themselves; making their presence felt and performing their proper functions better than ever.
Heike's Forrest yoga works wonders for me. My muscles are softening—I know, I know ... that sounds counter-desirable, but believe me, soft muscle is functional muscle, it can stretch and bend and compress, like prime steak. My muscles are hard and weak and brittle, like 'biltong'. (That's South African for 'jerky'.) But as I said, they are softening. The various bends and stretches and compression postures improve the blood flow into those muscles; and slowly, as they soften, they're more able to release as well as contract.
My muscles are good at contracting. See, I've never trusted them to carry my weight (trust issues) so I've always tensed them, held them rigid (by holding my breath much of the time) whenever extra effort is required .
I'll be in my version of a Warrior 3, or some other near-impossible balancing pose, straining away, and I'll hear Heike call from across the room – "Huw, you're not breathing."
Oh, right. Thanks for that. You're a life-saver.
Heike's aware of her students, their limits, and their needs. She always, always, always emphasises the breath ... which should never be taken for granted, trust me.
As varied as her classes are, they're underpinned by consistent technical principles. I'm learning to 'wrap' my shoulders, tilt my pelvis, tuck my tailbone, not compress into the lower spine, even flex my toes. Being what they are, my muscles forget what they learn fairly quickly; but Heike drums in those same principles week after week without fail.
I'm grateful for that. I can feel the difference all the little details make, even though I can't do any of that precision stuff very well. Often, she'll come over, help me make an adjustment (or just keep me from falling over) ... and then I REALLY feel the difference. So I'm grateful, too, that she's hands-on, approachable, patient, passionate, concerned and, above all, competent ... as I said, I have trust issues.
She varies the intensity of her classes too, which I appreciate. I like her gentler interludes, where she makes time for set up, long deep stretches, and for in-between banter and relaxation. But even in those 'gentle' classes, before long I'll be holding myself up in a downward dog on the wall (one of her favourite forms of torture) – or something similar – gritting my teeth, and the sweat will be pouring down to my mat . Not to mention those elbow-to-knee ab crunches. She never forgets those. They're in every class of hers that I've been in. Heike's a sweet girl, but jeez, she makes you realise, Forrest yoga's not for sissies.
Sometimes I stuff around, watch the clock, chalk up another class when it's done, and go home; other times I focus, try do my poses exactly as instructed, and adhere to all her subtle corrections. Those times I don't even notice the clock; and when it's over, my mat, once again, is speckled with sweat, but I feel stronger, looser, straighter and calmer. (Or I should say 'karma.')
There's a metaphysical dimension to her classes. It's nothing over-stated, but I always feel, in Heike's presence, that I'm conditioning my body and my soul ... which is cool.
'Making space in the body.' That's a phrase used extensively by all the teachers at the centre where I practice. I first heard it about a year ago, from Heike, in one of my very first Forrest classes. Back then, to me, it was an empty phrase. I had no concept or experience of 'space in the body'. (My hips = locked iron gates.) I kept on thinking: what on earth is she going on about? Space in the body?
She persisted, and lately, along with the delicious clicks in my joints and the shooting groin tweaks, I'm feeling my muscles stretch into space that wasn't there before – beautiful new, clean space, infused with exquisite sensation. I'd recommend the making of this space to anyone. It's great! And it's available through the practice of Heike's yoga.
I discovered one day – again in Heike's class – that this space in the body develops space in the mind. There I was, sitting on my block, my thighs up at an insanely tight V angle. That space came in a wonderful rush that washed away pain, melted anxiety, and made me want to sit still like that forever.
In my experience, if anything's better than space in the body, it's space in the mind. It is, (again in my experience) quiet space – such a relief from all the noise! ... which makes me think I should stop this now and just be grateful, that there is the practice of yoga, that there are switched-on people who care, and that there's a place like The Yoga Republic, in Randburg, South Africa. It's a genuine gift from heaven ... and Heike complements it perfectly.

Misheck Tiki (28)'s whereabouts are still unknown and police have launched a manhunt for him. The incident occurred while they were having lunch. Chief police spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba confirmed the incident.
"The prisoner, Misheck Tiki, was convicted of theft at Kadoma Magistrate Court on June 20, 2016 and sentenced to five years in prison," she said. "Circumstances are that the prisoner was out on duty at Alphida Barracks and took the opportunity to escape during lunch, when everyone was relaxing."
Snr Asst Comm Charamba said Tiki has a scar on the right leg and an amputated right index finger. He was last seen wearing a blue track suit top, white short and T-shirt.
In October 2014, there were reports that at least 78 prisoners had escaped from the country's correctional facilities between 2013 and 2014, raising concerns over the laxity of security at prisons.
Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services spokesperson Chief Superintendent Elizabeth Banda said then that despite the incidents, Zimbabwe was still within the international standards in terms of prison security.
B Class prisoners, she said, constituted the majority of those that escaped since they were allowed to work outside their prisons.
Chief Supt Banda said Mashonaland region had the highest number of escapees, while two officers were assaulted during the incidents. Herald
A criminal serving a five-year jail term for theft escaped from prison guards who were monitoring him and other prisoners as they performed manual work at Zimbabwe National Army's Alphida Barracks in Chinamhora on Tuesday.Snr Asst Comm Charamba appealed to anyone with information that might lead to his arrest to contact any nearest police station or the national complaints desk on (04) 703631.

Since id Software released Doom in 1993, thousands of user-made WADS and maps have been and continue to be created for the Doom community's entertainment. These are their stories.
No credit where credit is due? If you know the proper credit for a WAD or a link to an author's works where there is no link, contact me with the info and I'll make the correction.
|The End
|A short, bloody intro that does a decent job of busting you into the action with a pinch of story. There are some triggered noises of stuff like enemies dying off camera to add a little cinematic flair and the blown-open base door is pretty cool. The action is slow, since you're confined to the pistol for most of it, and you might not take the time to get into the locked shotgun guy bunkers. It's good enough, though.
|Terror Core
|A very short teleporter hub level. The blue tile texture in the hub is a neat shock. The worst thing you have to do, besides blind teleports into Doom trash, is deal with a pair of chaingunners in one of the wings. Apart from that, I don't have much to say, except that Harbin does a decent job at making the little wings presentable, and I love the hook where the switches causes keys to appear "out of thin air" (up from below).
|An adventure-style level that takes you from the compound through the wilderness to another monster-infested base. While it's still dances with shotgun, you get to play around with the chaingun and the cacodemon and Hell knight make welcome appearances. Most of the monsters are dangerous because the level is so gosh darn dark, and those two commandos guarding the north elevator did a good job of sneaking up on me. I like the architecture, particularly in the north end. The teleport ambush at the finale is the standout fight.
|The Arrival
|A tiny military installation with a hangar, a reactor, and a little bio-lab. It's DoomCute and decently so. I'd love it if the base were a bit larger, but it's clear that Harbin is weighted toward smaller levels. The action is pretty standard but there are a few sneaky traps like the "Focus" homage in whatever constitutes the main hallway and I love the reactor fight, which while not very good at getting the cacodemons out in a timely manner has them appear one after another from the vessel's goo.
|Harbin busts up into the medium size map range, a welcome change. "Skybase" starts out in a crate maze before turning into lovely silver techbase with some odd bits like the blue outskirts of the yellow key room, staffed by imps. The actual layout is kind of stringy, but the set pieces in each room combined with the brutal back and forth work to distract you from the essentials. Lots of monsters to kill and plenty of hitscanners that will chip away at your fast-dwindling health. The baron debuts as a sort of miniboss encounter but neither it nor the revenants have a chance to leave much of an impression, unless you're really bad at dodging revenant rockets in those super-wide hallways and rooms.
|Last Call
|by John Bishop
|Another medium-size base level, this one rampant with rectangular rooms and moving machinery. Bishop revels in cramped gameplay with plenty of 64 wide corridors for sneaky revenants to surprise you in. The southern area, accessed via a tunnel on the fringes of Hell, is a bit more open and has an interesting secret annex to some kind of mortuary that's inessential to the level's gameplay, but very much appreciated. The northern area feels like a wasted opportunity considering the big showdown is a crowd of shotgun guys and a lowly skellington.
|A short, symmetric level with a couple of nasty firefights. One thing it isn't is a "Dead Simple" retread. Highlights include the opening whack-a-mole with the zombies, battling specters in the dark with that pentagram switch, and the six (!) pain elementals you have to deal with before confronting the Spiderdemon. The arch-viles guarding the yellow key are actually pretty cute, and in spite of wandering behind the switch plate, I still whizzed the fight down my leg in a moment of idiot panic. Love the pentagram switch.
|Another visit to a UAC tech installation; the biolabs proper, I guess. Harbin starts you off with the plasma rifle, which lets you get to work immediately, but most of the heavy lifting will be with the shotgun and, later, the combat shotgun. The rooftop fight is my standout encounter, since it's got some pressure on the player, plus the cacodemons rising up over the edge. The rest is not so exciting, but there's a DoomCute crawl through some ventilation ducts to grab the blue key.
|by Paul Corfiatis aka "pcorf"
|Aka "Facility" from Twilight Zone II. Well, Paul gave it a new paint job that puts it in line with Biowar, and I think that the enemy entrenchment is possibly just a little more bulky, especially in the room behind the red key door. but the only real change I noticed was an extra little sewage area in the southwest that led to a megasphere. Outside of the two-revenant tango for the red key, it's a fun blastathon with an amusing optional area which grants a rocket launcher for a mild battle with some Hell knights and cacodemons.
|Dark Woods
|Now this is something different. Harbin takes you on an adventure through the "Dark Woods", which are composed of viney-walled ruins with tall tree trunks that disappear into the canopy far overhead. It's an aesthetic I've seen rarely done and different each time. Harbin's execution is adequate, and the unique locale is a pretty cool twist. The open areas plus trees allow for some sneaky ambushes from lowly monsters but the actual combat is very slow paced due to restriction to the shotgun and chaingun.
|Frozen Terror
|Harbin takes you on another journey, this time through a nondescript series of ice tunnels, like an ancient fortress carved out of a glacier... kind of. The best action is at the beginning, like carving through the demons to secure the combat shotgun and shortly afterward dealing with more demons, imps, and a revenant. The true standout encounter, though, is the finale, a slow elevator ride with some joyriders that you'll have to take out. It's not nearly as intense as the most famous elevator firefights (like "The Descent") but it matches the pace of BIOWAR perfectly.
|Military Center
|A slightly longer version of "Terror Core". It's a teleporter hub, and you have to grab all three keys before you can exit out one of the destinations. The hub is a lot bigger, thankfully, and while it's almost symmetrical, the monsters inside and outside aren't, not that they put up much of a fight. The teleporter destinations are micromaps encased in cubes that you can see from the main hub and take barely any time to clear, making this a very fast play. I think that the commandos lurking in the corners of the opening is the most dangerous part.
|UAC Prison
|by John Bishop
|Bishop takes a far left turn for this level, which is more in line with what I've played of his work. "UAC Prison" is a massive compound that feels out of tune with the implied tech moniker, since it's mostly stone and other infernal acquisitions. The prison definitely fits, though. There are tons of cages, particularly in the level's eastern half (which finishes with an enormous shotgun guys shootout), which is buried deep below the surface through some successive elevators. The western cavern section is my favorite, though, with a bunch of monsters on the floor that you can round up and hose down with some plasma. I guess the entryway, with all the H.R. Giger paintings, is a nice opener. You'll have to fend off a lot of teleport waves that repopulate the main section with tons and tons of shotgun ammo.
|Harbin moves solidly away from the techbase aesthetic that dominated the earlier half with this somber journey through Hell. It's a medium-size level with a fatal design flaw that will trap the player; proceeding into the eastern yard without having lowered the red key pillar will get you stuck. Apart from that, it's fun to explore and the southwestern teleporter wing leaves you with a ton of rockets, which should make some of the fights - like some gratuitous baron action - blow by pretty quickly. It's a pretty smooth play, provided you don't get trapped outside.
|This is a pretty cool Hell level, mostly underground with the main chamber flooded with bright light lava. Some of the map channels the granite "Spirit World" aesthetic, with one arch-vile encounter in particular sticking out in my mind. The initial combat is kind of hectic but there aren't a great many monsters and you can quickly get about to exploring the lava tubes once you snag the rad suit. There are a couple of neat visuals and it's cool to see Harbin use the Hexen trapwall texture to obscure a mancubus cubby.
|Juggalo Funhouse
|I'm not sure what I was expecting to find in the secret map slot, but it wasn't this. It's a pretty straightforward hub level, but every encounter - once you get inside the "Funhouse" - has some sort of gimmick to it that keeps things feeling semi-fresh, whether it's the imps and commandos in the dark in the main chamber or sneaking around the Spiderdemon to grab the plasma rifle in the northwest. The finale is best handled by waiting out the Cyberdemon while you flip the switches, revealing some revenants and a handy BFG plus ammo.
|The Killing Fields
|In contrast to what has gone before, "Killing Fields" is a huge, sprawling level with some enormous, open areas for you to slay some demons. It's a hodgepodge of several different themes, sending you through gothic grinders, Hellish jungles, and the deep underground. The biggest danger is hitscanner attrition given the lack of cover, but the actual pace of the map is pretty relaxed. There's even an obligatory "Barrels o' Fun" section that houses the plasma rifle. Of all the themes, I like the skull cube monitor maze near the heart of the map, which has a strange, cyberpunk-ish flair.
|Harbin plays with the teleporter hub again, but this is a much more fun layout, kicking off with an ominous Cyberdemon-guarded platform that plies into investigations into two significantly larger teleporter-accessed wings filled with tons of classic action and even one of those two-way bridge / wall things that The Innocent Crew was so fond of. Traps like the floor melting away into nukage are pretty cool and the northwest area has a decent cavalcade of imps in one of the teleporter ambushes. The Spiderdemon gauntlet in the finale isn't some kind of super-climax, but it's a decent finish to a great action ride.
|Die Heuschrecke
|Starts off with a battle through a beige brick fortress suspended in the void complete with revenant-staffed platforms and one with two arch-viles that requires just a bit more grace. Once you've kicked all the asses, it's time for the exit... which dumps you into a blood-filled Boss Brain arena, housing the big bad, codenamed TCHERNOBOG. You should have plenty of health and plenty of ammo, and you can't get telefragged, so just flip the switches until you reveal the thing that opens its gaping craw and snuff its mockery of a heart out. The actual trip inside is pretty cool with all the hanging gore and it's even got a couple of guardians.

The custom sounds are lower quality than I remembered. Still a decent mapset I played as a kid, though.ReplyDelete
I'll admit, it is nice to see more reviews of older episodes/megawads. Biowar is one I'd visit quite a bit back in the 2000's.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reviewing this! I agree that its an easy but engaging mapset. That's part of what makes it a good wad to suggest to people that are just getting into Doom IMO. It sorta offered a bunch of the novel aspects of the cool megawads from the period (Icarus, Strain, Requiem) in one little package. So many things have come out since 99' though, that there are sure to be a bunch of other good recommendations for new doomers haha
Still wonder what the source of that hudface is. I always found it comic-book like too.
A decent mappack with some good track choices. I can see potential here.ReplyDelete

Process for forming coal compacts and product thereof
United States Patent
|April 23, 2002
|View the Complete Patent at the US Patent & Trademark Office
|A process for forming durable, mechanically strong compacts from coal particulates without use of a binder is disclosed. The process involves applying a compressive stress to a particulate feed comprising substantially water-saturated coal particles while the feed is heated to a final compaction temperature in excess of about 100.degree. C. The water present in the feed remains substantially in the liquid phase throughout the compact forming process. This is achieved by heating and compressing the particulate feed and cooling the formed compact at a pressure sufficient to prevent water present in the feed from boiling. The compacts produced by the process have a moisture content near their water saturation point. As a result, these compacts absorb little water and retain exceptional mechanical strength when immersed in high pressure water. The process can be used to form large, cylindrically-shaped compacts from coal particles (i.e., "coal logs") so that the coal can be transported in a hydraulic coal log pipeline.

Hi I'm Mary Ellen
I'm a wife, a mother, an author, and a Mormon
About Me
I am a wife, a mother, and an author. After being a stay-at-home mom for literally decades, my youngest ( a nice tail-end baby) entered school. So, I began to write. I started writing for magazines and newsletters while I completed my first novel. Now my first book has been released and I am working on my second one.
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon because it makes sense. It makes sense that God loves us and provides a way for all of us (if we choose) to return to live with him. It makes sense that we should try hard to do what's right, but also that there is a way to repent and obtain forgiveness for the times when we slip up. I am a Mormon because I have prayerfully considered the teachings in the Bible and The Book of Mormon, and I know them to be true because of the peace that enters my heart and permeates my being. I am a Mormon because I also know that Joseph Smith was an instrument in God's hands in restoring the fullness of the gospel back to the earth. I know God loves me and wants me to be happy. When I make righteous choices, I am happy and at peace. I want to share this same happiness and peace with others.
How I live my faith
Being Christian is who I am, not just what I do. So, it permeates every part of my life. When I write books, my characters do not use foul language and I do not spill intimate moments onto the page. That wouldn't be consistent with my beliefs. It's important to me that how I live reflects what I profess to believe. This example is especially important to my five children. My husband and I work hard to teach our children gospel truths and encourage them to learn for themselves what God would have them do and how He would have them live.

The product is described as: Dove believes that real beauty can be genuinely stunning. That's why Dove developed Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with subtle self-tanners. It gradually enhances and evens out your natural skin color, giving you a beautiful summer glow all year long. For great results after about one week, apply daily all over to gradually build a beautiful summer glow.
My first thoughts on the product were positive. It doesn't smell like a traditional self-tanner. It has a much more perfumed scent. I must say, though, a few hours after it has dried on the skin you do begin to smell the yucky self-tanner scent. After I exfoliated and moisturized, I spread an even layer all over my body and wait about 5 minutes for it to dry before getting dressed. While it is supposed to be a gradual tanner, I noticed results almost an hour after application. By the next morning, the color totally developed and I found it to be golden if not a bit orange. It was minimally streaky but after I showered the streaks vanished, as did the orange color. I was left with a gorgeous golden glow. I won't be applying this every day because I think it would turn me orange Oompa Loompa style. I'll be using it once or twice a week to keep the color.
What tanners would you recommend?

WWGD? What would Gutenberg do, if he could log onto Amazon and cruise around for books? (Other than, of course, be redirected to amazon.de to make a purchase.)
Love them or hate them, ebooks have dramatically reshaped the publishing landscape. I'm a diehard fan of the portable, apocalypse-proof hardbacks, but ebooks speak more to my budget. I only have Kindle for PC, but it has made me want to buy a reader, because I've since read a mountain of amazing texts not available in the local big-name bookstores.
When I finished writing my first book, Kain, I attempted to publish traditionally. I vowed to snag an agent. My manuscript was so polished I had to wear sunglasses to read it; I sleuthed the internet for tips like my life depended on it and spent nearly as much time crafting my query as I did my entire novel. I was ready to go!
A girlfriend of mine self-published. It was incomprehensible to me, doing all that marketing by myself. Plus, I didn't have the guts to go out there, into the wild, all alone, with no one to back me up. And, wasn't there a rumor that self-publishing "tarnished" one's reputation, making it more difficult to snag an agent in the future? It's the rumor that says, "An agent will see that you have self-published, give you the hairy eyeball, and say, 'Well, why didn't you come to me in the first place?'"
No one wants the hairy eyeball.
Bubbling with great enthusiasm, I launched a buck-wild querying bonanza. I found every appealing agent in every applicable genre for my book, studied their websites, studied their credentials, studied their blogs, toiled, sweat, and pored night and day over sending them the most graceful personalized introductions on the planet.
One, three, six, seven months later, that swathe of rejection letters came pouring in. It broke my heart, studying all those blogs, only to receive a "dear author" in return.
Now, I'm not railing on agents–I can only imagine the immense amount of work and pressure that comes with the job, wheeling and dealing with the big names. Agents receive something like 200 unsolicited emails every day. That many emails would drive me INSANE!
But this brings me to my point: right now, the publishing landscape is crazy. Bookstores are closing; a smaller environment means increased competition, with less agents willing to take on new authors.
Too bad for new authors!
To persist in an endeavor that would only bring certain heartache felt like clinging to a whimsical boyfriend who was never truly pleased: I sucked it up and went indie.
My neck was on the chopping block: it was up to me to secure my edits, without the help of the time-tested professionals. But I retained creative input on my cover. I stopped worrying about whether or not I needed to censor myself–writing queries felt like a dreadfully stuffy process, and I was not in my element. I realized I look better in my homemade robot suit than a blazer, slacks, and tie.
Traditionally published or not, there is no guarantee any author is ever going to make enough money to quit his day job–but the difference with independent publishing is, no longer do authors require the permission of someone else to at least try.
Ultimately, the entire process of me putting myself out there was rewarding, because it generated an incredible sense of self-empowerment. I started a project, set a goal, and saw it through every step to completion. I didn't sell a lot of books my first month–I'm still quite new to the scene–but I did manage to pay my telecom bill, which was more than a stack of rejection letters ever did for anyone. I'm not famous, but a few total strangers chose to read my book of their own free will–my little old book, among so many others!–and they loved it.
If you love writing and have the burning need to share your stories, rain or shine–self-publishing might be for you. It takes guts to venture out into the wilderness all alone, especially the first time. But resonating with a readership, however small, is an incredible feeling–especially when it's your heart and your magic, nothing else, that made it grow. I have so much to communicate and I want to share it now!
And I can. What would Gutenberg do?

After an hour in the Gym I went to meet my wife for dinner at Rhapsody in Prague 7. Its a really comfortable piano bar/restaurant.
But I tell you what. After a very tough workout, there is nothing like having two neat J&B whiskies. (Did you know Whiskeys and Whiskies are both accurate?), the combination of the alcohol and the endorphins was pretty good.
