Meditation is a Tier Two technology available after unlocking Climbing.
Once researched, it grants a defensive bonus of 150% to troops on mountain tiles, similar to Archery and Aquatism. If you have a defence bonus, a shield will appear around the health.
Meditation expands into Philosophy.
Meditation also unlocks the mountain temple, a temple that can be built on mountains for 20 stars.
Upon research, it starts the Pacifist task, which gives you the Altar of Peace as a reward for completing it. To complete the Pacifist task, you have to make no attacks for 5 turns. Note that retaliation does not count as an attack; nor does capturing a city; and nor does converting a unit using a Mind Bender.
The Ai-Mo tribe starts with this technology.

The human spirit is a vast ocean,
Covering millions of miles,
Some are struggling, in pain and suffering,
Trying to find an inner meaning in their troubled life.
Even, if we let one wave in,
The windows to our soul will open,
Gradually the flood will arrive, the demons of the past broken,
It takes patience, never lose the faith inside.
You will finally arrive at your destination,
Free from the world's opinion, what an incredible sensation!

My Life is an Oprah Episode
Since learning that Oprah is hosting her final year with the Oprah Winfrey show, some of my friends and I have discussed which episode/topic struck a nerve with us, or somehow mirrored our lives. Upon reflection, I surmised that there were too many topics that hit close to home for me. No favorite, necessarily. But, a strong identification with so many stories seemed to be a daily occurrence. So, for me this blog is about those stories, and some that did not see any airtime.

As a dominant shade it has enormous longevity, never tiring the senses, enriching and soothing. Such positivity makes it the perfect colour expression for this years' Colour Next, dominated as it is by action oriented themes, each one essentially about progression, about moving on and forward where determined action yields concrete results. Through each theme we witness the emergence of a new, driven individual, no longer mutely accepting of the status quo but taking charge: in civic matters, entrepreneurship, challenging a heavily corporatized world or colouring urban grayness with irrepressible individual spirit and hum our.
We are getting up, talking less and doing more - we are creating, moving, building - an Indian ethos is being crystallized. With its immediately rejuvenating and invigorating effect orange is the perfect fuel. Like all things dynamic, orange is versatile. Tone down the red and sorbet freshness emerges with a youthful energy - a sprightly, fun step. A deeper hue gives it a more sophisticated feel, the warmth of a more mature fire. And its vividness, its bright sun, make it such an Indian colour. So Asian paints Welcomes its Colour of the Year. Let its positive spirit awaken and energize.
"Any time is a good time to start a company", said noted start up investor Ron Conway and it couldn't be truer now. People are more willing to take that big risk, responding to a world suddenly bursting with conditions favourable for entrepreneurship: high technology, intense connectivity, the spirit of collaboration, the growing acceptance of less conventional professions. So, the erstwhile housewife baking a cake is now helming a catering business, young software engineers are following their instincts, building businesses around everything from terrace gardening to dog training.
Self-confidence, courage and zeal is what drives them, a willingness to plunge into the unknown, a constant initiation into a life of exploration - of the self, new experiences, the possibility of failure, the incomparable thrill of success. It is through these doers and their every innovation big or small that the rest of us experience the wonders of a forever shape shifting world.
It is not surprising that this trend would impact todays' design language with its overtones of spirited individuality. The ideas of innovation, independence and quirkiness influence spaces and the way colours are used. This is a space in flux, shaped and added to as and when materials come by. Look for cool, unpretentious design statements. Everything is put to good use - whatever is available at hand to furnish and to decorate, and the end result is imaginative, surprising, intelligent and fun.
This is a dynamic, provocative and sophisticated palette designed to quicken the senses and kick start the creative juices. A bold interplay between smart neutrals and sophisticated patterns holds the palette giving it depth, offset by fresh mint greens, blues with dark indigo and neon trims. The palette is energetically supported by bright and lively accents of oranges, yellows and reds. It is the most amazing set up with high energy. Any one and every one in today's world want to develop something unique and go ahead to create a business out of it. This theme is for all upcoming and starts up stage people & the kind of décor and color scheme they expect.BLOG COMMENTS POWERED BY DISQUS

This is not just a scandal, it's a full fledged human rights crisis. Our federal government has basically abducted 3,000 children and shipped them off to 21 different states.
Even though the courts have ordered them all sent back to their parents, Trump's White House has absolutely no plan or no intention of doing so.

The fashionistas are used to meet many challenges on their way but the most common one is to line up with the latest trends.
The good news for Fall 2010 is that an old current makes itself noticed in spite of the odds and creates a distinctive note. It is called Trady Twist and promises to stay.
Old fashion trends and tips come to life as if they are brand new with very tiny changes or no changes at all. Thinking every year's fashion trend as a book, the actual trends can consist of copy-paste work from older fashion currents with a bit of twist which turns them in that certain something the designers are looking for. Changing the old into the new is not a new issue at all.
This fall, clothes and accessories may look similar at the first glance with the last years trends. However, they are more curageously combined with unexpected pieces and look more glamorous.
To start with men, the ordinary outfits become colored this year being added a more feminine touch, smoother fabrics, more elegance, a lot more elaborate and detail oriented looks.
Men will look so pop-art style, the Prince of Wales knittings giving them a noble presence. The combinations are softer now introducing marled wools and tapistry style.
The wind of change in men's clothes has easily been seen creating the opportunity for the guys to increase their wardrobe's color options. Trady twist brings a more bohemian look for the gentlemen of any age, encouraging a return to the fashion basics, elegance and casual in the same gourgeous ensemble.
For the women, of course, there are more opportunities to look stylish and trendy with certain main tips.
First, let's talk about colors. Colors can give an old piece the look that will make it fit the new trend. If the wardrobe has luminous camel, greenish-blues, taupey gray, cupcake pink acid marmalade, milk blueberry and electric anise, it is time to put them out for the show. If not, then it is time to hunt for some items bearing this color notes.
For the women who want to look classy, the glamorous look changes just a bit with violet, brick red, ochre and faded blue colors creating a Parade style combined with gold jewelries.
The colors of British and Retro British styles given above can be enriched with jewelry of ornamental style, exuberant motifs, lame voiles and silk twills adding waves to the clothes.
The era of a plain simple colored t-shirts has been officially closed for the coming fall. Extraordinary and fun motifs, unexpected designs catch the eyes for a more jingling and glamourous look.
The shirts, cardigans, sweaters, etc can be combined with a raw denim piece or basic "chino" cottons to look surprisingly good.
While women tend to have a glamorous look with seductive fabrics and colors, designers still cannot let go of the military look this fall. The neo-military style still lingers as a not exactly distinctive note.
The old, very old 18th century baroque mood is back for women with tapestry and brocade patterns, with colored large stains and lines.

This is the final t-shirt, which means I've already made next years birthday presents! If you're a Disney buff like me, you will have guessed what the subject is by the title. If not, here it is
I found this pattern on pinterest. The person who designed it has loads of designs (including the phoenix from earlier) and is unbelievably talented. The reason I chose this is that the recipient is my unofficial little sister (mum's friends daughter) and the first present I ever bought her was a replica of the Belle dress. She's also the little girl I took to Disney last year. This was the hardest to stitch not due to the design but the size of the shirt. I couldn't put it over my hoop so had to stitch it free hand.
The only t shirt I have left now is my own. I have an idea for which design I want but I'm not 100% yet. I keep changing my mind!
Spending wise I spent £10.07 getting food for work next week and some cat food (notice I've stopped listing exactly what - I still am in my financial diary but not on here) I also switched a treat around, as the Hobbit is not out yet, so I moved that one to my 50,000 words task, and changed the Kili stitch one to the first four seasons of Blue Bloods. I shopped around a little bit, and managed to save some money on them, all four costing me £46.
Happy crafting

(Animal Stage (Abandoned) #2, 2011)
We're all cursed in the end. Some more than others. And that's the balance. Sometimes it's easier to imagine that we all lived lives before this one, and that the balance of life is not determined by the lives that we currently live but the lives we have lived and are living. It is easier to think that how wicked and twisted our lives are that we must have done something equally wicked and twisted in another life, sometimes going as far as thinking what if one was Hitler in another life, Jesus that would suck. But if that theory was true, I can imagine you'd be the world's most unfortunate soul if you had in another life been Hitler.
I remember once writing about that feeling of past lives, how life itself is so full of different phases and periods and divisions that the borders of one reality to the next, how one's mentality changes throughout a lifetime can sometimes feel as if one has lived previous lives. When I think back at my childhood in New Mexico it almost feels like another life, and even further back when I was living in Canada that life recesses so far back it is prehistoric. But to spite the time and the places in-between, I still don't imagine them as another life, no, but some memories that have been forgotten, that could be just as much dreams as lived experiences that are only conjured up by flashes of Deja Vu. There is a certain type of uncertainty that is associated with those memory flashes, this confused memory. Somewhere in all that mess of tangled memories, forgotten and distant is a childhood, are dreams, and are memories that one either wished to be forgotten or your mind simply shut them out, tragic kingdom forgotten.
I'm not the reincarnation of Jim Morrison but I did once witness a road accident in New Mexico as a child. And on that day I did once witness an Indian fellow die as our car passed by in slow motion. Looking out the backseat window, I saw people crying and a man covered in blood and dirt looked at me, but looked beyond me, endlessly, staring without a blink or a breath. He died looking in my direction, and like Morrison I wonder if his soul entered mine, through my eyes, the windows or THE DOORS to the soul. I have yet to forget about that day, just like a lot of the things that happened in the desert, I just find them less relevant with a life in the city, where there is nothing sacred nor haunted, to spite how historical a site may be, the hairs on the back of my neck have yet to be moved and the only goose pimples I get are from the cold heart of winter or stepping into the polluted waters of Lake Ontario.
Something occupies my soul, I was a child when that man on the side of the road died, and I was changing everyday, but something unnatural and perfectly natural in a supernatural way changed me from that particular point of my life. Just like how my boyish voice changed over night into a young adult voice. I swear it did, I had been at a punk concert the night before and was screaming and pushing and kicking, going crazy and wild, and the next day I had lost my voice and when it returned the following day I was a man. This thing that lies within me, that changed me that day in the summer of 97' has been the source of inspiration as well as spirituality within me. But I often wonder if it could have been a curse, a curse that isn't black and white with bad things being death and direct results but something like a slow working poison (it was far more twisted than that). The string of cause and effect was so complex and so extensive that it was impossible to trace other than going back to that particular day in the summer of 97' when it all started and recount each and every tragic and less-tragic event since. For years I believed I was cursed to remain to walk this earth alone, but then started to come across beautiful creatures that would walk along side me for some time, that never completely dissolved. Perhaps my curse isn't my curse per say, but the curse of the soul that is exists within mine, thatthat Indian is dead and yet living within me. I can name off 50+ dispositions I find myself in, that the word hybrid and in-between-ness is like breathing, I am neither inhaling nor exhaling nor holding my breath, I simply am in that brief pause between, in a temporary space that the likes of infinity hang out in. Nomadic, the mind is split between the right and the left, the borders of the soul and the body are undefined and obscure, the race I run is few and far between, I am the crack and the rumble, the moment after lightning the moment before thunder. The unspoken saying that exists between the glass half empty and the glass half full. And somehow I let this betwixt feeling invade everything else, that even the way I saw things were split, I lived and breathed a parallax view of the world. And perhaps I never had a choice, that what existed within me was me, a me that I had no control over, just like almost everything in my life, if not the entire shebang. I was born, given a name, put in a place, and grew up around certain people and all my primary establishment as a human was made without my choice, without my say-so, so how much of me remains original, of my own doing, that my choices haven't been preconditioned? The curse grew more complex, further I travelled along the belly of its length the darker it got. Something existential about the whole thing blew up, and at that point I decided to quit. Yes, to give up. What has been done is done, what is going to happen will only just happen, and if I were to die right now the world will still carry on, just as it was before and after me. The curse though will continue, I imagine that is was something far greater than me, my life, and even the people that were mixed up with it. That even before that dying man who sent the curse spiraling into my very soul, the same curse that had entered him, and it enter the thing that was the host before him, and so forth. No one could be blamed for cursing who and that, I just wondered which poor child or thing I'd curse myself. How the curse would resonate within them, change them, would they too lose their boy or girl voice over night, and will feel in-between just about everything. The crack would be back, and the crack was perfect word for it, the bottom side of humans once was an uninterrupted mount of flesh, such as the back until some point of history the curse introduced it's self to our species and split the two legs apart in two directions, and when early Man tried to sit he sat between two great divisions, where they met was a great blade, and the blade broke the even flat of the bottom of Man and produced a crack. We would never be the same, we started to wear underwear from that day on, though in those days it wasn't called underwear just a lion cloth then robe then something else then underwear. We decided to hide it, shameful of our disposition, our indecisiveness, and most of all, ashamed we were cursed.
The world is divided by two hemisphere, where as one half has winter the other has its summer and vice a versa. The toilet boil water flushes to the right in one hemisphere where as the other half it flushes to the left. I often wonder if people tend to walk differently in the southern hemisphere from whose of us who walk in the north. There is night and day. Tea drinkers and coffee drinkers. Lovers and haters. Birth and death. North Korean and South Korean. Going uphill and going downhill. Rockbottom and Rocking the top. Flying and falling. Sleeping and being awake. Being happy and being sad. Feeling full of hope and empty and hopeless. We live only in the present and yet we are divided by what just happened - what did happen, and what will happen. The present only last for that brief pause of time that is invisible to the eye, and as soon as we see it it is no longer the present but the past, if we try to anticipate it it is the future. And if we focus too much on both the past or the future we will miss out on what is right in front of us. There are a million Hallmark quotes and there is a million more, you can probably find the answer to life in all of that, but we choose not to taken by a cheesy little card written to a mass audience for times where we can not think of the right words to say ourselves.
I reach a point where I find myself as an adult, in a car, in New Mexico, but instead of being in the backseat I am driving, and we are slowed down, there is an accident ahead, we see flashing lights, and a broken parts and smashed up cars appear beside us. Through the window I swear I see the same old Indian fellow from years ago, he is even wearing the same things, looking the same after all these years, and I wonder to myself, has he been here all this time, or is this some sort of roadside attraction, something synthetically acted out day in and day out like the Waterworld show at Universal Studios. There he is, Kevin Costner, the man in the other vehicle is Dennis Hopper, and we watch the protagonist die, but this time his soul, his curse did not fly into my eyes and into my soul, not this time, something leaves me, and I feel light and lighter as something heavy and sticky leaves my body and enters his. His eyes roll back and an eagle above shoots up into the sun, eclipsing it for a moment before I realize I am staring at the sun. I turn to my passenger and grab her hand, I tell her everything is going to be ok, she looks back at me, confused, and doesn't say a thing, we ride pass the accident and soon forget it entirely.
We are at a crossroads. I slip the words beneath my tongue in a secret exchange I keep to myself.
(low whisper) "See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads."
The eagle flies on heading north to what appears to be an endless landscape.
"...So you won't be lonely."

Chilton County I-65 Crash Kills One And Injures Four Others
November 15th, 2011|
November 15, 2011
A car accident along a highway in Chilton County, Alabama, Saturday evening killed one person and injured four others. News Channel 12 reported over the weekend that the crash occurred just after 6:25 PM in the northbound lanes of I-65, near Clanton.
Authorities believe the driver lost control of the vehicle and crossed over the median. This caused the vehicle to roll several times. Some passengers may have not been buckled in and were ejected from the wreckage. The Chilton County Sheriff's department confirmed one person dead at the scene of the crash, while one passenger was taken to a local hospital by helicopter. Three others were taken by ambulance to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), safety belts, when used properly, reduce the number of serious traffic injuries by 50 percent and fatalities by 60-70 percent. Also, Motorists are 25 times more likely to be seriously injured or killed when they are "thrown" from the car.
The Alabama Car Accident Attorneys with Norris Injury Lawyers have years of experience handling cases for victims of auto accidents. If you have questions about an accident you were involved in, contact us today by filling out a free consultation form.

GOODSTUFFs Time Machine™ presents the Texas rebel Candy Barr. Plus, This Gong Xi Fa Cai ( 恭喜发财 ) meta blog post contains enough science and udder stuff for everybody
Candy Barr was an American stripper, burlesque exotic dancer, actress in one pornographic movie, and pin-up model for men's magazines of the mid-20th century.
The story of the real-life Candy Barr (born Juanita Dale Slusher in Edna, Tex), was one of innocence lost at an early age.
Candy Barr ran away from home at 13. She made her way to Dallas, where she found work in a hot-sheet motel, making beds by day and turning tricks at night.
At 14, she married a young Dallas safecracker named Billy Debbs. They became kind of like a teenage Bonnie and Clyde, article. He cracked the safes; she drove the getaway car.
When Debbs was shipped off to prison, his young wife wiled away her lonely evenings dancing at seedy Dallas nightclubs. Soon, men were paying her for sex. The grainy black-and-white movie, titled "Smart Aleck," came out in 1951 and circulated nationwide. The film "became the 'Deep Throat' of its time."

Candy Barr Teaches Joan Collins To Dance Burlesque
In January 1956, Candy Barr was charged with aggravated assault when she shot her second husband after he kicked in the door of her Dallas apartment. Strangely, her manager asked the sheriff to raise her bail to increase the publicity and sensationalism around the event. The charges were eventually dropped...
|Candy Barr being naked and stuff
In October 1957, Dallas police raided Candy Barr's apartment, arrested her for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, and she received a 15 year prison sentence. she would only serve 3 years and 4 months
While her marijuana case was on appeal, Candy Barr danced around the country in various men's clubs, and ended up becoming the girlfriend of notorious gangster Mickey Cohen. While incarcerated, Candy Barr was returned to Los Angeles as a witness in the tax evasion trial of her former boyfriend, Mickey Cohen. Candy Barr testified that he paid $15,000 to her attorneys and lavished gifts on her during their brief engagement. She said that among the other gifts she received from him were jewelry, luggage, and a poodle. It was her understanding, she said, that Cohen was to settle a clothing bill of hers for $1,001.95
Candy Barr worked for and ended up friends with Jack Ruby. Remember him? Ruby was the guy who shot and killed John Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Twelve hours after Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered by Ruby, the FBI arrived in Edna to interview Candy Barr. She made a statement, as Juanita Dale Phillips, regarding her knowledge of Ruby prior to the JFK assassination and Ruby's subsequent murder of Oswald. It was rumored that she knew more than she told them, but she later said, "They thought Ruby had told me names and places and people, which he didn't."

In 1997, Garry Kasparov, probably the best (human) chess player of all time, lost a match to an IBM computer called Deep Blue. In 2007, checkers was "solved," mathematically ensuring that no human would ever again beat the best machine. In 2011, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter were routed on "Jeopardy!" by another IBM creation, Watson. And last March, a human champion of Go, Lee Sedol, fell to a Google program in devastating and bewildering fashion. Poker may be close to all we have left…
But not, perhaps, for long: "The Machines Are Coming For Poker."

Our Essex Blades Women's Basketball team have reached the National Cup final after a resounding 81-50 victory over the Derbyshire Gems at the University of Essex Sports Centre.
Performance Basketball Coach Mark Lloyd was thrilled with the teams efforts. He said: "We are obviously delighted to be in the National Cup Final again for a second time in our short three year history in the National League. The players have worked so hard, both in terms of on a game day itself and also on their attention to detail in the preparation for each game, this is as well as their other major commitment to their studies as student athletes.
"They are having fun, playing hard, focusing on the process and enjoying the results of that hard work. We have come so far in such a short space of time as a programme - we really are now able to align ourselves with the leading University and WNBL Programmes in the country."
The Blades now enter their second National Cup Final in the last three seasons and are waiting to see who comes out victorious in the other semi-final between Bristol Flyers and Ipswich.
The Blades will be looking to recreate their cup final exploits from two years ago where they edged an extremely tight contest against a Reading Rockets side led by current Blades favourite Cat Lutz. We're all extremely proud of these women for their achievements and can't wait to see them step out on the floor in the final at the University of East London on Sunday 21 January.
The Essex Blades National League programme is sponsored this season by SportsafeUK Ltd and D Salmon Cars
Basketball is one of three focus sports at Essex that develop and produce student athletes that have represented their countries, as well as going on to secure professional contracts in their respective sports after they graduate. To find out more about our Performance Sport Programme.
In front of a noisy Essex home crowd, PhD Sports Psychology student Cat Lutz, formerly of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Iona College, connected with her first three attempts from beyond the arc and this put the Blades in the driving seat. For the opposition, Jo Clayden was being made to work hard for her looks by MSc Management student Ellie Shaxon but, eventually found her way to score bringing the margin back to just 5. Later in the period, Monika Kucerkova (International Economics) was able to establish her dominance inside with two back to back And-1 plays to stretch the lead back in Essex's favour. At the end of the quarter the Blades held a 21-11 lead.
The second period was another strong quarter for the Blades. The majority of the scoring within the period came from Monika and Jasmine Ogunjimi (Criminology and socio-legal research) In the quarter, Monika would add 10 points and Jasmine a further 7 as the Blades started to make their mark on the cup contest. At the defensive end, the Blades were able to successfully hinder the offensive threats posed by Derbyshire and started to pull away. The Blades would win the quarter 23-10 and go into the locker room at halftime with a 44-21 advantage.
Despite the 23 point halftime lead, it was noted that Derbyshire would have to try and respond to pull the game back in their favour. The contest was far from done at this point and the Blades could not afford to let their advantage slip. Early in the quarter, Cat Lutz was able to hinder this response by once again showing her ability from the 3-point line as she connected on her first 3 shots. The Blades stretched the lead to 30 when Derbyshire then responded. Kendal James led the push for the visitors with 3 long range jump shots to cut the lead to just 24. However the home team responded and stretched the lead back out towards a 30 point margin. The end of the third quarter held a scoreline of 63-35.
The visitors started the quickest in the opening phases of the fourth. Causeur got to the line on two separate occasions for the visitors and was able to score all four foul-shots. Jasmine would then race down the other end of the court and connect on a three to further establish the Blades' dominance. With the Gem's resistance broken, the Blades were able to keep their composure until the buzzer and won the game 81-50 to book their place in the National Cup Final!
Every player contributed superbly to the semi-final win at both ends of the floor. Cat Lutz led the scoring with a double-double performance of 24 points and 12 rebounds. Jasmine Ogunjimi also secured a double-double which featured 17 points and 11 assists. Monika Kucerkova also had an outstanding performance contributing a further 21 points and five blocks.

July 12, 2018: SOAP #3143: Isaiah 11-14; Hebrews 9
Scripture: Hebrews (NIV) 9:13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
Observation: I have read about people who have been involved in a very repulsive action have an inner drive to wash themselves, and wash themselves, and wash themselves again. There is a strong desire to wash away the terribleness of the incident. The incident made them feel dirty, but soap and water cannot wash that dirt away. They need a cleansing on the inside. The Old Testament law with the sacrifice of animals offered a "soap and water" type of cleansing. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse our conscience on the inside.
Application: When by faith I ask the Lord to cleanse me from my sin and the sins against me—to cleanse me by His blood poured out for me on the cross—it is then I am truly set free. I am free from the bondage of guilt.
His death is the payment for the sins of the whole world. That means He can forgive all my sins…AND all the sins against me! That is an amazing truth that enables me to forgive others. Because of His death, God forgives me, and because of that same sacrifice, I can forgive others. His death is sufficient to pay for all my sins against God and all the sins of others against me.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, what a freedom you purchased for me! It is a freedom you give me when I reach out in faith, confess my sins and make you the Lord of my life. Amen

Our new Seal was designed to withstand the harsh realities of a workday that doesn't always take place within four walls. It's engineered to help workers be productive in extreme conditions.
Whether it's manufacturing, field services, logistics, or emergency services, the Seal will turn anyone who uses it into an unstoppable force of power and productivity. And when it's combined with Esri ArcGIS software and apps… well, watch out.
Our Esri Partnership
Let's get right down to brass tacks, shall we? If you know anything about Bak USA, you know we're not in this game to make a quick buck off people. We're in it to empower people. That's why we built the Seal: We want to empower workers.
So when we met the team from Esri, we knew we'd met our match.
Esri makes software called ArcGIS, the world's most powerful mapping and spatial analytics platform. ArcGIS is enhanced by a suite of apps that includes Collector for ArcGIS and Survey123 for ArcGIS. Esri's software exponentially increases the capabilities of workers in the field, enabling them to not only be more productive but find unique ways to drive decisions with data. And that's a beautiful thing.
Oh, wait—did I mention that both Collector for ArcGIS and Survey123 for ArcGIS run beautifully on our new Seal? (nudge nudge)
Here's how.
Collector for ArcGIS
Collector is a great tool for field data collection.
To use Collector, an experienced GIS user will need to create a blank map and attribute table that'll be used to visualize the gathered data. Once these are in place, team members can take their Seal tablets into the field and get to work.
What sort of data can Collector gather? The possibilities are almost endless, my friend.
We're talking damage reports. Flood reports. Service requests. Inventory. Inspection data. Heck, you can even use Collector to manage a NASCAR event, track snowfall and response in real time, manage the Boston Marathon, or evaluate land to see if it's suitable for use as an endangered bat habitat. I mean, why not?
"But there's just one wrinkle," you might say. "Field work takes people to places that don't have mobile connectivity, so your Collector app won't work!"
Hold your horses there, cowboy. There's more!
Collector works online or offline. Data is stored on the device and automatically uploaded and synced via ArcGIS Online when service is available. And that makes our Seal the perfect complement to Collector.
Seal works online or offline. It comes standard with 128GB storage—and you can add an SD card for an additional 128GB. (For those keeping score at home, that's 256GB of sweet storage goodness.) Plenty of room for offline storage of data, images, audio, and video. And when you get back to the office, Seal's built-in Wi-Fi capabilities will make quick work of uploading and syncing data.
Survey123 for ArcGIS
Survey123 is a form-based data-gathering solution that's as easy to use as 1-2-3. (Come to think of it, that's probably how Esri came up with the name.)
- Quickly create surveys and store them in ArcGIS Online. Surveys can be designed in multiple languages with easy-to-fill answers and embedded audio and images.
- Workers grab the Survey123 mobile app, access your survey, and head out into the field to start asking questions. Because the questions are predetermined, the quality and consistency of data returned is higher than it would be if the survey questions could be altered.
- Watch as collected answers come rolling in. You'll be able to analyze those answers in real time and use the data to support decision making.
But how, exactly, can you use Survey123 in the real world?
Allow me.
- You could track litter cleanup and use the data to drive litter reduction efforts.
- You could create a workflow to manage sump pump inspection on pads for oil and natural gas wells.
- You could use it to turn your field staff into expert inspectors as they keep 250 miles of water pipeline and 10,500 service connections in working order.
- You could use it to treat and document skin conditions among refugees.
Our Seal is the perfect device to complement Survey123. It's got a stylus. A touchscreen that'll work even if you're wearing gloves. Plenty of storage so you can collect images, audio, and video data. And because it's a rugged device, you'll be able to get survey data from just about anywhere on the planet. Bam.
Survey data collection was never so easy.
(Oh, and if you're collecting sensitive data, the ArcGIS software has your back. But so does the Seal—it comes standard with a fingerprint reader so you can keep data locked safely away from prying eyes.)
* * *
Because it was engineered for life in the field and comes loaded with smart, practical tech, the Seal is the perfect tool for real-world GIS mapping and data management. Whether you're mapping data with Collector or gathering it with Survey123, the Seal will help you get the job done—no matter where you are.

Mors Funebris Ch. 2 P 7
"She may very well might." Tia replied testily, barely holding onto her anger. "Why did you leave your nurse behind like that, and what are you doing?" she demanded, shaking slightly. Arawn finally turned and looked at her.
"I left her because of the cat." He replied, and said nothing more as if this explained everything.
"What cat?" she asked finally. He looked at her with furrowed brows.
"That cat." He stated as he lifted up his good hand, and pointed at,…nothing.

Do you remember "date bars?" Back in the 60's and 70's you could buy these little treats, ready to be made, at the local grocery store. The brand was Betty Crocker or Pillsbury, I don't quite remember. But they were so yummy. As I was making them, I would eat the ingredients right out of the box, the oats, brown sugar and the dates were so delicious. But that was a different time. In that era, processed and pre-packaged foods were the new way to cook. Now we know better…baking can be healthy, fresh and even more delicious than back then.
One of the blogs I follow is by Tammy Twinkle at mrs-twinkle.com. Tammy posted a recipe for date cake. By the way, you'll want to visit her blog, her recipes and photography are amazing. This cake looked delicious, very warm and inviting, especially for the holidays. So I asked her if she would mind if I posted her recipe, after tweaking it a little, of course. She was delighted. Here's my version of Tammy's "A Date Cake?" It's not the same as my childhood indulgence of the "date bar" but it is healthy and quite tasty, especially if you like dates.
Honey Date Loaf
- 3/4 cup whole dates (I use dates rolled in coconut)
- 1/3 cup brown rice flour
- 2/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg, if you like, it can be omitted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup grape seed oil
- 1/2 cup sucanat or turbinado sugar
- 1/4 cup honey (I use ambrosia honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 8 or 9 inch loaf pan or 4 small loaf pans with unbleached parchment paper or line muffin tin with muffin liners and set aside.
If using regular dates – place dates in a bowl and cover them with very hot water. Let the dates soak while you prepare the batter.
In large bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, and cinnamon, add nutmeg if using.
In medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy add applesauce, oil, sugar, honey, and vanilla and whisk together.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until mixed and thickened.
Drain water from dates. Pit the dates, then chop the fruit into small chunks. If using coconut rolled dates chop into small pieces. Fold pecans and dates into the batter.
Pour batter into pans of choice. Place in preheated oven. Bake loaf for about 1 hour, small loaves for about 30 minutes and muffins for about 20 minutes. Check to see if done by inserting toothpick in center of loaf. If it comes out clean it's done, if not cook for 2 minute intervals until done.

A BJP MLA from Assam is at the centre of a political storm after a sex video allegedly involving him went viral over several local television channels. In the video, Ramakanta Dewri, an MLA of Morigaon constituency, is purpotedly seen in a compromising position with a woman in a hotel room.
However, Dewri has denied the allegations and blamed his rivals for defaming him. He also told local TV channels that it is being circulated at a time when he is expected to get a berth in the Sarbanand Sonowal cabinet.
Denying that he was the person in the video, Dewri told PTI: "It (the video) is being manufactured by (those with) vested interests to be distributed to the media as part of a political conspiracy against me and to discredit me."
He has sought a forensic test of the video and said he would take legal action against those behind it. He also reiterated that he would quit politics if the forensic report establishes the person in the alleged sex video to be him.
Dewri has also submitted a memorandum to the Monitoring Committee for private television channels under the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry through Assam Assembly Speaker "to take action against the channels concerned".
Meanwhile, Assam BJP unit president Ranjit Das has expressed concern over the video appearing in a section of electronic media "tarnishing the image of BJP Morigaon MLA." Das told PTI that the "fabricated" video footage against Dewri, which was telecast in some TV channels of Assam was "totally false" and was an attempt to "assassinate" the BJP MLA's character.
Morigaon district Superintendent of Police Swapnail Deka said Dewri has filed a criminal case against the editors of three local TV channels that had broadcast the video and a police investigation was on.
Four compact discs (CDs) of the video were distributed to four local TV channels with three airing it, Deka said.

Your shirt color is better than the white from before. I'm still wondering about the cabinets in the background, is there any significance to them, or are they just what happens to be behind your computer?
Comment by Ubi Dubium — October 30, 2017 @ 14:45
Oh I see. My desk is large and it is a reverse L shape. The cabinets you see are part of my desk that runs down the wall. Directly behind where I sit is a small space and then on my left side is a curio cabinet with jammed full of stuff. I could shut the door at the end of my desk and so you wouldn't see the shelves, or move the camera. I just never think on it. The webcam I use is on the first monitor , my 27 inch and on a slight angle as next to it is my video monitor and it is a 24 inch. This is so I can blog and search while watching things. I should take a picture of my office for everyone. Hugs

Refresh Our Hearts (Philemon 1:20)/
Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.
Philemon 1:20
As believers, we seek to encourage one another in our walk through this life as we seek to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ. When we prayer for one another, we may ask God to intervene in someone's life. Through the Holy Spirit, we may even gain insight into how God is working in that person's life. But we must always keep in mind that regardless of whatever changes we see in their lives, we are not truly seeing the entire and true picture that God sees. In fact, we may become impatient with the one for whom we are praying, feeling that God is "not working" in that person's life or even arrogantly assuming that person is not truly repentant and stiff necked to God's leading. Only God knows the true state of our heart. And lest we be quick to judge another, remember the mercy and grace that God has shown you. God's patience infinitely surpasses our own and it is a sobering thought to realize how many times we have failed Him and how He remains faithful to us. We should have a similar mindset as we pray for fellow believers. The Holy Spirit reminds us:
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
Proverbs 19:11
Examine the attitude of your heart to those whom God has called you to pray and encourage. God calls us to refresh one another's heart in the Lord, not to be critical and impatient. Pray for your fellow believers, your brothers and sisters in Christ. And when you do see them, have joy for their lives. God is definitely working in every believer's heart, whether we think we can see the changes or not. Allow God to refresh your heart through fellowship knowing that this is how God builds the body of His Church.
Love and respect the Lord; seek His will in your life.
