Immune checkpoints in the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) pathway have critical roles in balancing the co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory signals that regulate human self-tolerance and control the amplitude and duration of T‑cell responses. PD-1 is a key immune checkpoint receptor expressed on activated T-cells. Binding of PD-1 to its ligand (PD-L1) results in suppression of the immune response, and tumor cells can manipulate this critical pathway to elude attack by tumor-infiltrating T-cells.
The two front-runners for this class are Keytruda® (pembrolizumab, Merck) and Opdivo® (nivolumab, Bristol-Myers Squibb/Ono Pharmaceuticals). Opdivo holds the title of being the first PD-1 inhibitor to gain regulatory approval when it was approved in Japan in July 2014 for malignant melanoma, while in September 2014 Keytruda became the first PD-1 inhibitor to gain FDA approval (accelerated approval for advanced and unresectable malignant melanoma). Both are currently in development in a number of other solid tumors and now are making a foray into the hematologic space. Both companies released the first-reported clinical results in hematologic malignancies in the same oral presentation session on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2014 at the 2014 American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference.
Unlike solid tumors, in which data has demonstrated strong efficacy for this class in numerous abstracts across multiple tumor types, studies in the hematologic malignancies are still scarce ("disappointingly only four presentations at the 2014 ASH meeting" as elegantly expressed by Dr. Levy in his commentary presentation during a full house Sunday special session on Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Lymphoma).
Opdivo has two stories to tell from its Phase I trial in hematologic malignancies
A Phase I study of Opdivo enrolled a total of 105 patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. This trial supported two presentations: one focusing on results from the cohort of 23 patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma1 and the second discussing the remaining 82 patients with other relapsed/refractory lymphoma malignancies (B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma.)2 Safety and tolerability were the primary endpoints, and best overall response, duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS) and biomarker studies were secondary endpoints.
Story One: High overall response rates (87%) in heavily pre-treated relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma1,3
Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) is unique, with Reed Sternberg (RS) cells surrounded by an extensive but ineffective inflammatory/immune cell infiltrate. Recent studies have suggested that Hodgkin's RS cells may have developed mechanisms to exploit the PD-1 pathway to evade immune detection. In cHL, chromosome 9p24.1 gain is a frequent structural alteration that correlates with elevated expression of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, and their induction via JAK/STAT signaling. The rationale behind this study is that Opdivo may confer antitumor activity in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) cHL who have elevated PD-L1 expression. The FDA granted nivolumab Breakthrough Therapy Status for Hodgkin's lymphoma in May 2014, and this is the first presentation of the data that supported that designation. The results did not disappoint.
In the cohort of 23 heavily pre-treated R/R cHL patients (one-third of patients received six or more prior treatments), the overall response rate (ORR) was an exciting 87%, including four patients with complete response (CR, 17%), and 100% clinical benefit rate. The onsets of response were relatively fast, with first responses (both CR and PR) observed for within the first eight weeks of treatment (60% of responses occurred by week 8). The 24-week PFS was 86%, indicating durable responses from this immune blockade drug. Importantly, durable responses were observed in patients who had failed after prior stem cell transplant and/or prior treatment with Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin, Seattle Genetics/Takeda). The overall safety profile was found to be similar to that observed in solid tumors: drug-related Grade 3 adverse events (AEs) included lymphopenia, gastrointestinal inflammation, increased lipase, pneumonitis, colitis and stomatitis and occurred in 22% of patients.
A large, multinational Phase II study (Registration; CheckMate 205, NCT02181738) was initiated in July 2014 and is ongoing in patients who relapsed after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). If the clinical benefits observed in the Phase I study are confirmed in the CheckMate 205 trial, will PD-1 blockade introduce a paradigm shift in the treatment of cHL patients in the future in the same way that PD-1 blockade is doing now in solid tumors?
Story Two: Mixed results in other relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies2
Results from the 69-patient cohort with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) malignancies (B-cell lymphoma, n=23; T-cell lymphoma, n=23; and multiple myeloma n=23) were reported separately. Most of the patients in this combined cohort were also heavily pre-treated (number of prior systemic treatments ranged from two to five, with over 20% of patients having received more than five prior treatments). The ORRs differed by patient subgroups. The ORR and CR rates in patients with B-NHL were 28% and 7%, respectively, with the highest objective ORRs observed in follicular lymphoma (40%) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (40%). In the overall T-NHL population, the ORR was 17%. No responses were observed in multiple myeloma or in primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma.
Again, the overall safety profile was similar to other Opdivo trials. Fatigue (13%) and pneumonitis (11%) were the most frequently observed drug-related AEs (all grades); the majority of pneumonitis was Grade 1 or 2, although there was one fatal event. Overall, 18% of drug-related AEs were Grade 3 and 2% were Grade 4 in this cohort.
This second part of the trial in hematologic malignancies demonstrated that Opdivo is safe and tolerable across many hematologic tumor types but that clinical benefit differs across the range of hematologic malignancies. The different responses from different hematologic malignancies may indicate that the PD-1 pathway may not function the same across all tumor types (genetic alteration of 9p24.1 was uncommon in the NHL population studied in this trial), or that tumor-specific mechanisms may affect the checkpoint blockade effect from PD-1 targeted drugs. The preliminary clinical data from this Phase I study are encouraging, but more studies are warranted before we can conclude that PD-1-targeted drugs will offer the same homerun/panacea effect in hematologic malignancies as many expect will be the case in solid tumors.
Encouraging results from Keytruda in Hodgkin's lymphoma (KEYNOTE-013 Study)4
Merck presented the first results from a cohort of 31 R/R cHL patients enrolled in the KEYNOTE-013 study (the broader study population also included patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma and NHL). The primary endpoint is CR rate, and secondary endpoints are ORR, PFS, overall survival and duration of response. Safety profiles of AEs with clinical interest to Keytruda were also part of the study objectives.
Keytruda achieved an excellent ORR of 66%, including CR rate of 21%, in this cohort of 29 R/R cHL patients, 100% of whom had failed after prior Adcetris and 69% of whom (n=20) had failed after a prior transplant. Most patients were heavily pre-treated (more than half of patients received five prior treatments). The overall clinical benefit rate was 86%, with only four patients having progressive disease. The clinical benefit rate in the 20 patients who were transplant failures was 90%, higher than that observed in the nine patients who were transplant-ineligible or refused transplant (78%). The overall safety profile was found to be similar to that observed in solid tumors, with Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurring rarely.
These studies demonstrate that in cHL Opdivo and Keytruda are both active agents with similarly encouraging efficacy when measured by ORR (87% vs. 66%) or CR rate (17% vs. 21%). During a special session on immune checkpoint blockade, many questions were raised as to why there were such differences in response in different hematologic malignancies. The answers were mostly a straight and simple, "I don't know." Dr. Ansell from the Mayo Clinic provided excellent speculations on the biological reasons, namely, increased regulatory T-cells in lymphoma, presence of "exhausted" T-cells, increased immunosuppression ligands, and presence of intratumoral monocytes and follicular dendritic cells. Furthermore, the high responses to PD-1 drugs in cHL may be attributable to the genetic amplification at 9p24.1 and related PD-L1 overexpression that is common in cHL versus other hematologic malignancies. With these unique characteristics in mind, incorporating these promising immunologic agents into the current standards of care for lymphoma will present daunting clinical challenges for hematologists, immunotherapists and oncologists in the hematologic world.
Opdivo may be a step ahead with its Breakthrough Therapy Status in Hodgkin's lymphoma and the ongoing CheckMate 205 study initiated in July 2014. Who the winner will be on the battlefield of hematologic malignancies remains to be seen, but if durable responses translate into prolonged PFS and overall survival then the ultimate winner is the patient.

There's a new software program out called Freedom and it's the answer to my prayers: it blocks your computer from any and all internet use for upwards of eight hours per day. You may be thinking: but that's crazy! If you are like me, though, and checking email and looking up things on the web is the downfall of your professional and writing life, not to mention feels like a black hole pulling you into an endless spiral you can't wind your way out of (I know, sounds bad, right?), then you are saying to yourself: thank God! How can I get this?
Freedom is free! (ha) Though, so far it's only for Mac users (sorry PC people).
I've written a lot about the need for a weekly internet sabbath of sorts, and a few years ago I even gave up surfing the web and checking email for Lent. But I feel like I'm to the point where I need a retreat of sorts from the web on a daily basis–time set aside when I am focused and working and just being offline that becomes a part of my daily ritual. And I'm not alone.
Peggy Orenstein of The New York Times Sunday Magazine wrote about just this need–and why getting off the internet instead of on might even be the road to enlightenment and internet self-discipline in her article, "Stop Your Search Engines." She explains:
"Not long ago, I started an experiment in self-binding: intentionally creating an obstacle to behavior I was helpless to control, much the way Ulysses lashed himself to his ship's mast to avoid succumbing to the Sirens' song. In my case, though, the irresistible temptation was the Internet…It is heartening that the yearning for learning is the most powerful of all human cravings (though it applies equally to obtaining the wisdom of Zeus or the YouTube video on how to peel a banana like a monkey). Yet the sea surrounding the Sirens was littered with corpses. Can increased knowledge really destroy us?…It could be that sometimes our greatest freedom may be to choose freedom from freedom. I am still surprised by the relief that floods me whenever I bind myself from going online, when I have no option but to ignore the incessant tweets and e-mail messages and videos and news links and even the legitimate research."
I am with Ms. Orenstein on this one–I need some serious self-binding and a spiritual practice (aka this software) to help me down this path. I am going to download Freedom and see how it goes. But I'm curious: am I the only person who feels this way? Are you interested in practicing a daily internet sabbath in your own life?

Their tiny eyes light up at the 1st sight of a woodworking bench. Nobody enjoys wood crafts more than boys. Sharing this past-time with them can be tons of fun. Building projects give them an opportunity to get their hands mucky and create something with meaning. After starting with elemental wood projects, you may find out how to read plans more successfully and it'll make your more involved projects in the future simpler to complete. As an amateur, when hunting for plans for your projects, you need to ensure they have step by step illustrations.
Safety is among the most crucial things newbs wood projects should target. Additionally , the plans you use ought to have a materials list also. The more creative outlets a kid has the better their opinion and communication to world will be. You need to read the instruction manual and follow all of the safety cares if its your very first time using any of the tools you will have to use. Supplying them with a woodworking project teaches self-esteem and pride.
As a parent it is very important to help in your child's development. Many colleges have shut down their woodworking programs so introducing your kid into the excellent arena of wood will be exciting and new to them. Instead of reply with a flat no, which is what I was thinking, I had a glance at the plans and asked myself, how am I able to do this? I knew I had limited power tools and even less experience and ability. I scanned the plans and broke them down into little jobs that were controllable. There also are kits available with pre-cut and suitably sized wood pieces that just need you to put the object together. Actually there is not any way I could do that.
This will permit you to get get to grips with how numerous parts fit together, while not having to worry about the way to operate the machinery. When it comes to tools and machinery, beginning tiny and working your way up is the best way to go. When you feel comfy doing the woodworking projects, you can turn to more advanced projects. Every time you purchase a tool, ensure it is of top of the range.

This is the second Volvo we have purchased from Secondhand Trucks in the past few months and they have really set a high standard. We had two vehicles on lease hire previously, but we were keen to move away from that and own our trucks, giving us greater control over the vehicle and own the assets ourselves.
I had spent a lot of time looking around used commercial vehicles which weren't presented well and I felt like I was wasting my time. A colleague of mine knows a couple of people who have bought trucks from Secondhand Trucks and they speak highly of them, so I got in contact with Matt, who told me exactly what we would receive, so I was more than happy to place the order of our first FH13 over the phone.
I really liked the way the truck was presented. You hear the word 'immaculate' branded around quite a lot, but only these from Matt are true to the word in my opinion. A couple of months after the first truck arrived, I placed another order for more of the same.
Our new Volvo's are exactly what I was looking for, good quality vehicles that come with low mileage. We're extremely busy at the moment, so it's been great to be able to purchase both trucks over the phone, hassle free, leaving Matt to come up with the goods as promised. We've got plans to add another motor in the near future and we'll certainly be going back to Matt.

DENVER -- Jim Davis, a former FBI agent who took part in U.S. operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, told FOX31 Denver Thursday that the "extreme interrogation techniques" used by some CIA operatives to get information out of detainees were understandable and justified.
The occasional use of waterboardings that amounted to "near drownings" and other brutal interrogation techniques, revealed in gruesome detail in a Senate report Tuesday, was, Davis said, an appropriate response to the fear and responsibility felt by the country's intelligence community in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
"When I was in Iraq and I was in Afghanistan, we believed we were going to get hit again and it was up to us to stop it," said Davis Thursday during an extensive interview that will air in full on Sunday's episode of FOX31's #COpolitics: From The Source.
"In the FBI, we build relationships on a rapport with the detainees that's built over a long period of time. After 9/11, we didn't feel like we had much time. I think that the guys that were using those techniques believed them to be legal and believed them to be necessary to keep the country safe."
Davis, the FBI agent famously photographed fingerprinting former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein later on, was never present at CIA black sites where the torture was employed or fully aware of the specific tactics.
He criticized the Senate Intelligence Committee report as highly partisan and disputed its conclusion that the tactics did not produce any actionable intelligence, as CIA operatives have claimed it did.
"I'll never say never, but to say that this never produced actionable intelligence is probably not true," Davis said. "Starting those interviews, the people they were talking to were not providing information so something had to happen to get them to start providing that information."
Margaret Kwoka, a law professor at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law who specializes in government secrecy and national security, said that the report levels the playing field, offering additional information on top of what the CIA has chosen to publicly acknowledge about its past interrogation tactics and opening an important debate for the country.
"It moves us beyond the debate merely about where the ethical line is and into the debate about whether these methods are effective," she said.
The controversial interrogation tactics went beyond what was sanctioned by the government, Kwoka said, but it's difficult to classify them as "torture" because none of the operatives have been charged with a crime and, thus, there are no legal opinions on the matter.
"Until something like that happens, we're not going to have an opinion about where the limit on torture is," she said. "So in some ways that question is still open. If you look at the reaction of the international community, this action certainly does cross some line."
Kwoka and Davis agreed that the CIA should be entitled to conduct much of its operations in secrecy but that the agency is required to be fully truthful with its congressional oversight committee; according to the report and a still classified report by former CIA director Leon Panetta, the agency intentionally misled the White House and the Senate Intelligence Committee, even going as far as spying on the committee members and staff.
"That's a problem," Davis said.

New Delhi: The Trinamool Congress Sunday wrote to the Election Commission complaining that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the media at Kedarnath shrine was "unethical" and that the coverage of his visit was in "gross violation" of the Model Code of Conduct.
Modi also announced that the master plan of Kedarnath Temple is ready and also addressed the public and media at Kedarnath. It is absolutely "unethical and morally incorrect," party spokesperson Derek O'Brien said in the letter.
"Even though the Election campaign for the last phase of polling for 2019 Lok Sabha is over on May 17 at 6 pm, surprisingly Narendra Modi's Kedarnath Yatra is being covered and widely televised for the last two days in all national as well as local media. This is a gross violation of the Model Code of Conduct," he said.
The prime minister offered prayers at the Himalayan shrine on Sunday morning. Speaking to reporters at the shrine, Modi thanked the Election Commission for granting him permission to visit the shrine at a time when the Model Code of Conduct is in force.
"Every minute detail of his activities during the visit is being widely publicised with an ulterior motive to influence voters directly and/or indirectly," the TMC leader charged and added that "Modi Modi" chants are also being heard from the background. He said all these moves were well calculated with the "ill intention to influence voters" on polling day. It is unfortunate that the poll body has not taken any action against the PM, he added.
"Election Commission, the highest body and the eyes and ears of the democratic process, remains blind and deaf to the gross violation of the MCC. l would request you to take immediate action and stop telecast of such surreptitious and unfair campaign which is also morally wrong," he charged. (PTI)

Uhhhhh….Yeeeeeaaaaah. So, not much news from me the past month. I don't know if it's just seasonal or situational, but March always ends up being difficult on some level or another. It's not that I haven't been putting my energy toward good things, they just seem unworthy of a post.
One thing I've been mulling about is perhaps setting a goal of a creative project that had nothing to do with work, or kids, or volunteer stuff, or anything else. The project that seemed most do-able was to take one photo every month. Nothing earth shattering, but when you want to carve out something like this it can become monumental. I could lose the motivation or if I did get something shot I could fuss with each shot obsessively and not get anything definitive. In an effort to just produce and not be overly critical, I've had to push myself.
If I can make this happen, at the end I thought I'd compile my favorites and make some little desktop calendars for gifts (sorry for the spoiler alert for those intended recipients.) Sort of hand-made, but not really Etsy.
When I speak of "monumental" I also speak of getting these images off my camera. Who knew this would be a hurdle? It's so arduous. {{throws self on floor}} I have to FIND THE CORD IN THE CAMERA BAG, then I have to PLUG THE CAMERA IN, and then I have to PLUG THE OTHER END OF THE CAMERA INTO MY COMPUTER. Then I have to actually HIT THE 'IMPORT' BUTTON. So, so, so hard! {{rolls eyes}} What's up with that? It's a mental hurdle every time. Because once I get them on the computer I'm home free. I heart Photoshop. I heart adjusting color and values. I heart the process.
You've already seen December (above), and I'm still working on January, but here's what I have so far:
I'm excited to see what inspires me in the upcoming months now that I've decided to really go forward with this. It's no longer just some half-baked objective I'm carrying around in my head…people are now expecting calendars for Christmas.

So the new Treeman Games Workshop came out a while ago is this tall and slim, almost demon looking thing that has form-fitting bark armor. The concept is cool and the mini is well sculpted, but I've always thought the Ents as trees and forest coming together to form only a somewhat humanoid looking thing. Like GW had at 5th edition Fantasy Battle.
So I thought I'd try to sculpt my own. I've had some practice with it, and the cool thing about this is that it's not human (so there's no uncanny valley effect), and bark is fun and easy to sculpt, and even if you don't get it fully right, the paint job will forgive a lot. If I ever get this in painting state.
|First I took some copper wire to get the skeleton, and posed it how I wanted.
Then added some Fimo just to give it some bulk and rigidness.
|A bad picture of the right arm, which will be this huge stump to stomp trespassers with.
This is the detail I will go over with Fimo alone. When I get the full body done I want to add some more detail with Green stuff and such.

Online communication has become ubiquitous and has taken up a variety of different forms. For some, it includes Skyping with their teammates while for others, it is more commonly iMessaging with their family. Nowadays, Google delivers not one but four options for communicating within its ecosystem. Google's offerings currently include:
- Android Messages. Messages is Google's messaging app for Android phones.
- Google Duo. Google Duo is presented as a simple video calling app.
- Google Hangouts. Classic Hangouts are split into Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet, both of which are primarily used by businesses for team collaboration.

Some believe that a Bay Area rap star may have magical sway when it comes to a Warriors win against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
Lil B's well-publicized curse against Rockets star James Harden for appropriating the "cooking dance" he says he invented may be a secret asset in Wednesday's game against the Warriors at Oracle Arena
The rapper now plans to attend the playoff game in person.
Rap-savvy Warriors fans have created photo memes with Lil B's Internet-famous "thank you Based God" phrase in appreciation of a hex that they think has been working in the series so far.
Born Brandon McCartney and raised in Berkeley, Lil B has long held hoop dreams of his own.
In 2012, he tried out for the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Golden State Warriors' D-League team. Two years later, he released "Hoop Dreams," a basketball-themed mixtape that featured a song and video called "Gotta Make the NBA."
Lil B has beefed with other NBA stars in the past.
In 2011, Lil B placed a curse on Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant after he said the player tweeted out unflattering remarks on his rapping skills.

Judith reporting from the Nordics, today .. Denmark
This report is written by Judith de Graaff from Joelix and all images are by Judith.
During the month of may, my husband and I travelled through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway for 3 weeks. We had a wonderful stay in the Nordics including reindeer, elks, tasty kanelbullar & Danish pastries, fjords, supercute red Swedish cottages, Legoland, great weather, excellent design shops and so much more. In this report I will take you along with me to the 3 Scandinavian capitals: Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo.
But our first stop will be Odense on the island of Fyn in Denmark. Odense is a small city which is mostly known for the Hans Christian Anders hus, where the famous fairytale writer was born. It has now been turned into a museum. Of course we also visited Brandts, the Art Center which houses the Kunsthallen, Denmarks Mediamuseum, and the Photography Museum. After the visit we had coffee at Cafe Biografen at Brandts, which also houses a cult cinema.
In the city center you'll mostly find big chain stores. The store of the Grene Sisters (Vestergade 25) is no exception to that (you'll find many of their shops throughout Scandinavia) but it's still a cute and inexpensive shop for tiny decoration goodies, candles, storage boxes, notebooks and so much more. Definitely worth a visit.
Copenhagen is a great city for shopping. It's home of some of the best shops we've seen in 3 weeks. Vintage (genbrug) shopping is big too, there are a lot of second hand shops and fleamarkets everywhere. We were lucky to find a Fog & Mørup lamp for 50DKK (10USD) on a flea market in Nørrebro, near the apartment we rented through AirBnB.
One of my favorite shops in Copenhagen were Liebe (Kompagnistræde 23) and Stilleben (Læderstræde 14). Both shops carry contemporary handmade table wear, vases, door knobs, stationary and so much more. The styling of the Liebe shop is really amazing. You will absolutely find the perfect gift for a newborn baby in here. Susan Liebe really amazed me.
Other shops that I liked were &pagne (Hyskenstræde 7) and Another Nué (Krystalgade 3, near Henrik Vibskov and Wood Wood) for their great selection of women's wear with brands like Yvonne Koné (bags!), Nué Notes, and Wackerhaus.
Like in all the Nordic countries, the coffeehouse culture is really well developed. You can meet up with friends or family to spend some time together while tasting some Danish pastries and cookies. It's called fika. Most coffeehouses are very child friendly too. One of the best we visited was in Vesterbro, at the end of the Vesterbrogade (coming from the Central Station).
Thank you Judith! Please visit Judith's website Joelix to learn more about her, her work and Studio Sapique.
O I love this! I am backpacking through this three countries in July and August.

Great post, love Denmark…!
I LOVE this tour! Wow, Denmark looks gorgeous. Definitely on my wishlist of places to visit!
beautiful shops and places would love to visit soon never being in that region.

Yesterday's big news that Anthem's development was far rockier than anyone could have known (and yet should have been really obvious) has begun a wider discussion about problems in AAA game development. But it's also started a conversation about Anthem itself. It's now clear that Anthem was a game created out of necessity. It was something that came at the behest and direction of people in suits after the creatives couldn't agree or make things work within the extremely limited Frostbite engine. After the entirely messy foundations on which Anthem was built, should BioWare keep up Anthem support, trying to cobble together fixes to get it into a good place? Or should they simply cut their losses and walk away, focusing on the future and their next project?
Anthem was in development for a long time, which means EA's spent a lot of money on it. Right now, the publisher has a vested interest in seeing it succeed, even if their attitude during the development process didn't exactly help that. BioWare also wants it to do well. I mean, despite the difficulties of development—and perhaps because of them—I imagine that many on the development team want to see the game succeed and do well. Imagine pouring your everything into a project and seeing an end result that just ends up abandoned.
Likewise, fans are invested, interested, and legitimately want Anthem to be a good game, no matter how angry and upset they may be about the game. That anger comes from a place of caring about the game, otherwise they'd just move on. There was a genuine excitement that swirled around the industry, not the least of which came from BioWare's own intention to make the video game equivalent of Bob Dylan's music, hence Anthem's original codename, Dylan. The benefit of games these days is that they can be changed, updated, adapted, and fixed, so why shouldn't BioWare attempt to correct issues from a forced and rocky launch?
Let Anthem Support Continue to Ring?
The benefit of continuing Anthem support is that they've at least got a foundation in place to work off of. Now that the game is launched, that sets a baseline for them, as well as providing the studio with plenty of public beta testers that are providing heaps of feedback about the game they are playing. Now there's no more guesswork about what fans will and won't like—or at least there's a lot less guesswork. There's no more going back and forth on the gameplay mechanics (now there's flying, now there's not, now there's flying, now there's…). Anthem as it stands may be a critical failure, sitting at a paltry 55 on Metacritic, but as a living game, it has a lot of room to grow and improve too.
Other studios have done similar things with games that launched to heavy critique. Ubisoft completely revamped The Division's endgame. Destiny 2: Forsaken brought the game back to a more hardcore audience that wanted to play the game as a hobby. So it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility for Anthem to become a good game and fix the many issues that plague it. On the other hand, a first impression is a hell of a thing, and Anthem has already made a bad one.
Even if BioWare pours time and resources into fixing Anthem and turning it into the game players want it to be, it might just be too late. The Division 2 has captured a lot of attention and has a full year's worth of free content updates coming. Destiny 2 players like myself are still madly enamored with that game and can't be bothered. Borderlands 3 was just announced for September, which will fill a lot of people's loot shooter needs. There just might not be a place for Anthem no matter how good it gets, which is interesting considering it was once supposed to be the game that put pressure on Destiny and The Division.
We know that BioWare is also hard at work on Dragon Age 4, a proposition that scares many of us after hearing the horrors of Anthem's development. We also know that it will be built on Anthem's codebase, so they were at least able to find some steady footing within the Frostbite engine that they feel (relatively) comfortable building a new game off of. We're nearing the end of a console generation, where Anthem's current gen release is soon going to fall by the wayside in favor of the new hotness of next gen. How much life support do they intend to give the game before cutting it off?
BioWare's Crossroads
So what is BioWare to do? As someone who already owns Anthem, I for one wouldn't mind them continuing to stay the course and fix the issues, trying to make the game better. I'd be interested in going back and playing it again if some of the complaints are addressed. Would they be enough to entice new players to come into the game though? Outside of a massive overhaul, new content, and big marketing push like Destiny 2: Forsaken did for Bungie's game, I can't really see any one update moving the needle and driving Anthem sales and/or interest in a big way again. That ship feels like it has sailed.
Honestly, it may not even be a decision that BioWare has to make. It's entirely possible that EA will make the decision for them as they run the numbers and report to investors. While other games have certainly launched in a bad place, I don't think there's been a living game that's had the kind of cresting excitement and plunging disappointment that Anthem has. There's plenty of redeeming qualities about the game, and the concept is great, but the very broken foundation of Anthem comes from an awkward place that may not even be worth cobbling back together with popsicle sticks and chewing gum.
I'm of two minds. I see the fantasy that Anthem was trying to achieve. I can see the proof of concept. But it just never coalesced for me. I would love for BioWare to inject the game with the kind of passion that a game like this is capable of having, rather than feeling like a corporate boxed product that checks all of the boxes to keep investors happy. If they can improve the game, I'm willing to give it another shot. But I also don't want BioWare to waste their time. If Anthem's rocky development is indicative of how support for the game will go, then I'd rather they just leave Anthem in the rearview mirror and hit reset to fully focus on a more healthy development of their next game.
Either way, I just want to see BioWare get back to the kind of passionate creativity I know they are capable of. After two critical flops, it's time to reevaluate their creative processes. Whether that means saving Anthem or betting it all on something new is entirely up to them.

Vivid aromas of red and black fruit characteristically introduce the wine. The palate emphasizes balance, with firm, round tannins and a complex finish that features a variety of notes from leather, espresso and chocolate.
Cabernet has always been a mainstay in the winemaking program at Stags' Leap Winery. Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a combination of estate fruit and grapes from select Napa Valley growers. Much of the estate vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon where deep, well-drained, loamy volcanic soils make this a perfect place to grow Cabernet.
The 2007 growing season began with a drier than average winter, which stood in sharp contrast to the wet weather that ushered in 2006. This trend continued throughout the growing season, and we received about 60 percent of normal precipitation overall. A warm spring resulted in an early budbreak, bloom and set in the vineyards, but the pace slowed down as mild spring and summer temperatures prevailed. Warm temperatures around Labor Day added the boost of sugar development that we were looking for to complement the excellent acid structure in the grapes.
The fruit for this wine was hand-picked in small bins and each block was fermented separately in closed fermenters during 3 to 4 weeks to maximize extraction, concentration and complexity in the finished wine. The wine was aged in 100 percent French oak barrels (50 percent new) for 24 months, and the final blend was assembled one year into the aging process to give the wine a chance to marry before bottling.
Varietal Composition: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Sirah, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petite Verdot

"Flightplan" is the kind of film generally referred to as a high concept. That is, it's a movie whose plot can be summed up in 25 words or less.
Generally, these films feed off of a catchy-sounding hook that will make audiences interested, and when they are telling their friends about it, it's easy to describe. In this case, it is a woman whose daughter disappears on a plane, but when the woman seeks help, she is told that her daughter was never onboard at all. Is she crazy, or are sinister forces at work?
Some high-concept films actually rise above their simple yet intriguing concepts to become really good films, with a depth beyond what you see in the advertisements. "The Sixth Sense," for instance, is one of those films.
"Flightplan," however, is not. It tries to be though. And in the process, it becomes too complicated for its own good.
Director Robert Schwentke backs himself into a creative corner, weaving a plot so tangled that he can't untie all the knots. The film's concept is an interesting one, I'll admit. But the longer it goes on, the more outrageous and implausible it becomes. And by the time all of the movie's secrets have been revealed, we are still left with plot holes and loose ends.
I was reminded in places of Jodie Foster's last claustrophobic, high-concept thriller, "Panic Room," which suffers from some of the same problems. Yet, in that case, under the eye of director and visual wizard David Fincher, the film still managed to be an intense psychological experience, while "Flightplan" just lags during many points in the movie.
It sets up its premise quickly, then simply has nowhere to go. So, it keeps adding complications until it is so convoluted that it falls flat on its face, sacrificing credibility for, well, I'm not sure what exactly.
On the upside, Foster gives an absolutely incredible performance. She alone makes this movie watchable. She is magnetic and utterly believable as a mother at the end of her rope. She brings the grief and terror of a parent who has lost her child to stunning life, and in a better movie, she could have been looking at an Oscar nomination for this. She lends a gravity and credibility to the proceedings that keep us rooting for her, even with the film itself runs out of steam.
Which, unfortunately for the audience, is way too soon.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - The Virginia Beach Police Department is investigating a shooting in the 5800 block of W. Hastings Arch that left a man dead Tuesday night.
The call came in around 7:32 p.m. Officers arrived on scene to find the man, identified as 39-year-old Brendan Anthony Breaux, suffering from a serious gunshot wound.
Emergency Medical Services personnel took Breaux to a local hospital for treatment, where he died from his injuries.
This has now developed into a homicide investigation.
Neighbors told News 3 reporter Kofo Lasaki several people came together to remember a friend who died. They say things were peaceful for hours when all of a sudden they heard gunfire.
Courtney Suder, who lives in the area, described the frightening scene as women and children hid behind cars in fear for their lives.
"My brother-in-law says he looked out the window and saw everybody scattering, and his aunt, who live just a few doors down, said he saw women holding little kids coming this way, hiding behind cars," Suder said.
Another resident, Rita Davis, said hearing the news of Breaux's death brings back painful memories from her own past: She lost her son to gun violence.
"I know how it feels because I lost a son to gun violence, and it really hurts," Davis told us. "It never goes away. I cry every night, wishing that my son was still here with me."
There is currently no suspect information.
The case remains under investigation by members of VBPD's Homicide Unit.
Anyone who has information about this shooting is asked to call Virginia Beach Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP (1-888-562-5887). Tips may also be submitted at P3Tips.com or by downloading the P3Tips app.

Have Any of You Moms Had Any Experience with Enfamil Gentlease??
I just switched my daughter from Enfamil Premium to Enfamil Gentlease because she was having alot of gas and explosive bowl movements every other day. I noticed she does still have some gas which has to be natural but the biggest thing I notice is she wants to eat every 2 to 2.5 hrs it's like this formula doesn't keep her full long? I wonder is it as nutritional as the Enfamil Premium? Have any of you moms noticed a big change?

You went into education because you wanted to make a difference in kids' lives. Working with a developer can take the burden of managing a real estate project off your shoulders, freeing you up to focus on executing your mission. Whether you work with a developer or not, you must remember that the decision-making responsibility lies with you. This section will equip you with the information you need to make decisions that serve the best interests of your school: a deeper understanding of the different development models that you can sign up for, results of our developer survey, a set of guiding questions to ask developers you're considering working with, and a comparison of the different models.
The definition of fiduciary duty, according to BusinessDictionary.com, is: "A legal obligation of one party to act in the best interest of another. The obligated party is typically a fiduciary, that is, someone entrusted with the care of money or property. Also called fiduciary obligation."
When getting into an arrangement with a developer, always remember that the fiduciary responsibility of the school lies with you, your board, and your staff. No one else. One aim of this section is to help you make informed decisions that keep dollars in the classroom. The below guides are best consumed in chronological order.

In the late 1980s as the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West was thawing, a new era of transparency and openness was dawning, bringing with it political reform and cross-cultural exchange. Invited to perform in theSoviet Union, Billy Joel jumped at the chance to realize a long-time dream of performing for the Russian people. Joel, an American musical icon, brought the Soviets their first fully- staged, high-energy rock show in 1987, with a series of electrifying stadium concert in Moscow and Leningrad.
Unavailable since its release on VHS, the original 35mm footage shot at these concerts has been restored in HD and re-mastered with six previously unreleased songs for this PBS special. BILLY JOEL: THE BRIDGE TO RUSSIACONCERT is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations beginning today, May 31, 2014(check local listings).
Joel's historic visit to Russia became a worldwide news event, with journalists and writers covering the tour, its progress, and the effect Billy, his band and his family were having on the Russian people. The entire tour was professionally filmed and the second Leningradconcert was simulcast on radio worldwide.
BILLY JOEL: THE BRIDGE TO RUSSIA CONCERT features classic songs and hits
including "Only the Good Die Young," "Big Shot," "Uptown Girl," "A Matter of Trust," "You May Be Right," "Innocent Man," "Honesty," "Allentown," and a cover of the Beatles' "Back in the U.S.S.R."
Seen and heard now, more than a quarter century later, Joel's Russian concert tour performances stand out as among the most powerful and moving of his career.
Directed by award winner Wayne Isham, BILLY JOEL: THE BRIDGE TO RUSSIA CONCERT was produced and restored by Emmy Award-winning documentarian Jim Brown ("Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" and "American Roots Music").
PBS special programming invites viewers to experience the worlds of science, history, nature and public affairs; hear diverse viewpoints; and take front-row seats to world-class drama and performances. Viewer contributions are an important source of funding, making PBS programs possible. PBS and public television stations offer all Americans from every walk of life the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds through television and online content.

He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Brigitte; his son, Timothy (Donna), his son Kenneth (Geraldine Finton) and his brother Raymond; his sister Beverly Miller and his niece Kathy Cote; his granddaughter Claire; and many close friends.
Bob was born in Portland, Maine in 1935, the son of Raymond and Agnes Dyer, where he lived until moving to Chula Vista, California in 1952. He attended San Diego State College and graduated in 1958. After graduating he joined the United States Air Force and was an active duty officer from 1958-1962. While touring in Europe he met his wife, Brigitte (Schneider) whom he married in 1964.
After serving with the Air Force, Bob joined the State Compensation Insurance Fund in 1965 and worked his way up to State Contract Services Manager with a staff of over 500 employees. While employed, he attended the University of California San Francisco earning a Masters degree in Rehabilitation Administration in 1979. Bob officially retired in 1997, after working for 32 years.
Bob and his family moved to Petaluma in 1975. After his retirement his passion for wildlife, nature photography, writing, stamp collecting, and education all came together. In his later years, he spent much of his energy supporting the Petaluma Wetlands Alliance. In 2008 he was awarded the designation of "unofficial Mayor of Shollenberger Park", where he acted as a Senior Docent leading tours and educating children about the wildlife in the area. Bob was also an active, award-winning member of the Madrone Audubon Society since 1998 and contributed photos, essays, and presentations about the birds and animals of the Petaluma wetlands. As a senior docent, he trained other docents and led tours for thousands of park visitors over two decades. He also penned a section in the book Celebrating Petaluma published in 2007.
Here is Bob doing what he loved to do, photography of nature in Shollenberger Park.
Bob was an avid philatelist (stamp collector) and expert in Newfoundland philately contributing more than 50 articles to stamp news magazines and news letters pertaining to the British North America Philatelic Society, where he also acted as chairman from 2000-2006 and president 2012-2014. He presented his stamps at exhibits at over 60 local, national and international shows, winning multitudes of gold and platinum awards. He was a member of the Redwood Empire Collectors Club and was particularly interested in historical airmail and surcharge stamps involved with the first airmail flights from North America to the UK.
This is a image of a 1890 stamp sheet he sent me which he evaluated for its "flaws" – note font change.
Bob's family is making plans for a celebration of his life. Friends, neighbors and community members will be notified of the specific date which will take place in early summer.
Memorial contributions may be made in Bob's name to the Petaluma Wetlands Alliance or your favorite charity.

Not PC has done a great job of fisking the anti-sprawl dogma that completely dominates most NZ, Australian, UK and many US local authorities, who have taken on the mantra that says:
1. The problem with cities is that people "drive too much" and use "too much land". They use too much energy.
2. Less land and less driving would occur if everyone lived closer together, and the places they want to go (work, shops, leisure) were all sited in centres.
3. People should lived in high density housing around corridors for public transport, which is a good thing, because it means people don't drive.
4. The best public transport is rail, because it just is, it doesn't involve roads. It is also the most expensive, but don't let that put you off, people like trains more so it is worth paying 3-4x the cost of buses. You need lots of people living close together near railway stations all wanting to go to the same places.
5. People buying big houses with sections on their own are bad, because it wastes land and energy, and they are far away from everyone else - this means they drive needlessly and are "dependent" on their cars. People in apartments living on top of each other are good, because the use less energy and can walk places more.
What they ignore is that high density living doesn't mean people don't want cars, also because planners want you to live in an apartment doesn't mean you do. People still want houses and they don't want to live next to the railway.
An article in the Toronto Globe and Mail by Margaret Wente continues to make the point:
"The idea that people will use public transit to get to work ignores the fact that most people don't want to live near their work. And because people are so mobile, they no longer have to. On top of that, people use their cars for much more than commuting. According to one study, 20 per cent of all trips by auto are for work, 20 per cent for shopping, and 60 per cent for things that are "social." The idea that public transit can replace the car in people's busy lives is a fantasy."
Indeed it is, you see public transport can be sustainable and profitable (unsubsidised). Half of the buses in Auckland used to be like that, until the ARC started pouring money into rail and making some of the bus routes no longer viable. Hong Kong and Singapore's metros make profits. The London Underground is not far short of breaking even too.
PC blogged about the book by Robert Bruegmann: Sprawl a Compact History. Margaret Wente quotes from it:
"Very few people believe that they themselves live in sprawl. Sprawl is where other people live, particularly people with less taste and good sense than themselves. Much anti-sprawl activism is based on a desire to reform these other people's lives"
Indeed, and Wente herself is pretty good on figuring out what the solutions to urban air pollution and congestion actually are. She said:
"If we really wanted to tackle smog and congestion, we wouldn't be fantasizing about massive new investments in public transit. We'd be investing in transportation infrastructure, less polluting fuels, more intelligent roads and vehicles with sensors to control traffic flows, peak-time user fees and more flexible forms of public and private transport, such as group taxis. But you won't find the planners talking about these things because, to do so, they would have to concede defeat to the unwholesome lure of the automobile -- to say nothing of the overwhelming preference of the public. And that would be very, very wicked."
Given I have heard one of the Green Party's key advisors on transport say that anyone who owned a car with an engine above 1.3 litres is evil, then I find it hard to believe that those on a mission to promote trains and not roads, are simply just on a crusade. Private transport is hear to stay, it is roads that need to be managed better.

In contrast to this, in Visual Studio 2010 the column seems to be missing:
My questions are:
- Is this a configuration issue on my machine or "by design"?

If you are someone who keeps track of the news every day, you may have noticed a troubling trend. There is something dreadful being reported daily and the danger just seems to be growing. So, is this true? Is it now more dangerous to leave your home than ever before?
Now, it is unlikely that things are as bad as newscasters would like you to believe. After all, their main goal is often to keep viewers hooked rather than to appease their fears. Despite this, there is no denying that there are quite a few dangers lurking out there. Let's take a look at the dangers that you may be at risk from and what you can do to keep yourself and your family safe.
Whether you choose to believe in climate change or not, you can't deny that the weather around the world is getting a lot worse. Once, you would have expected only a couple of storms each year. Now, they often seem to strike with very little warning.
The problem with extreme weather is that it is… extreme. So, when it hits, there is a significant risk of damage to your house, personal belongings, and worst of all you and your family. Therefore, you need to know how to stay safe in such cases.
To start with, you will require some form of warning about when this kind of weather is going to strike. So, you are going to want to keep your ear tuned to the radio to know if Mother Nature has decided to unleash her fury on your side of the country.
If you don't mind taking a more tech-savvy approach, there are now apps that track weather conditions better than ever before. With one of these on your phone, you will be able to accurately see where a storm is going and know whether it is getting worse. This should give you plenty of time to prepare yourself.
The next step, of course, is prep work. Now, the ideal option would be for you and your family to get out of the area while you can. To do this, though, you are going to need the quickest way to leave the city, without getting bogged down by floods, traffic, and more. This is where planning an escape route will be useful. Try a test run during rush hour just to make sure that it is actually feasible.
Once this is done, make sure that your home and your car are stocked with everything that you need. This includes water, non-perishable food, blankets, clothes, batteries, torches, and anything else that you can use. Since you have no idea how bad the situation will get, always carry pills that can purify water and have emergency cash or bartering items on hand.
Even the most outdoorsy survivalist is bound to have a smartphone in their pocket. This is just the way the world is now. It has made life easier on so many different levels, and most people can't imagine surviving without technology.
However, it is often said that modern technology is both a blessing as well as a curse and this is certainly true. For all the benefits it has brought us, it has also delivered threats and fear. For instance, did you know that around half of all American adults have had data breaches of one kind or another?
This means that your private and personal information can easily be exposed with just a few clicks of a button. Now, you do have a few solutions in this case. The first is to give up technology altogether. However, if you aren't ready to go off the grid just yet, this may not be an option for you.
Instead, it is better to take the necessary precautions. One thing you can do is to never make any online purchases, as this will force you to give out your credit card information. You should also set up firewalls, anti-virus software, and more to ensure that no one can access your devices.
It is also important to teach your children to be more responsible when surfing the internet. Explain to them how they should never chat with strangers and to be mindful of what they post online. All the same, you should set up ad blockers and other systems to ensure that there are some sites your kids can't visit, even accidentally.
It is also a good idea to limit your reliance on technology. These days, not only are there more digital devices but there are also more ways to connect to this tech. In fact, one of the largest growing sectors is the smart home. Now, while it may be tempting to buy into this, you may want to hold off just yet.
It was recently discovered that smart homes are quite easy to hack into. All it takes is one person with a computer and some tech know-how to break into your home without too much trouble. So, you should probably stick with your old fashioned home for now.
Yes, this may sound like an absurd thing to consider but it is true. Did you know that around only 11 percent of homicides are carried out by complete strangers? Most people are attacked or killed by people they know. At the very least, there is a good chance that you will have met your perpetrator at least once before.
Now, yes, this can seem like an incredibly frightening idea. After all, how can you protect yourself from the very people you are supposed to trust? Well, there is no need to suspect every person in your life. However, you can't really afford to be complacent either.
When meeting people for the first time, make sure to give away as little information about yourself as possible. This is something you should do even if you are being introduced to a "friend of a friend". Often, giving your first name alone is more than enough.
Avoid talking about where you live, work, or giving any other personal information that may get you into trouble later on. Also, avoid boasting about your cars, jewelry items, or anything else that may be of interest to thieves.
Now, this isn't something you can maintain for very long. If you continue to meet people – or live next door to them – they are going to learn things about your life. Not to mention, you will be expected to spend time with them as well.
So, what can you do in such a situation? Here, it is important to be pre-armed with your own information. There are websites that will allow you to run background searches on the people in your life. This way, you can get some details on that person's past or current life.
You don't need to know everything about them. Rather, focus your efforts on learning about whether they have a criminal background or if they were ever accused of a crime. This will give you some idea of just what kind of person they are.
If you are to believe the experts, there is no way that a major economy would actually "collapse". Now even if you took their word as gospel, these financial professionals will admit that there is always a chance of another economic crash, much like the one that took place over a decade ago.
This means that, once again, you are at risk of losing anything you may have invested in the traditional economy. To avoid this kind of scenario, take the necessary precautions. Fortunately, since most people learned their lesson the last time around, there are quite a few things you can do.
Try to keep a certain amount of your assets liquid. This way, should the banks suddenly be unable to provide you with funds, you will not be stuck for cash. At the same time, you may want to buy a small cache of gold coins to ensure that the value of your assets doesn't go down.
Still, it can be a good idea to stock up on items that can be bartered or considered more valuable than actual cash. This could include things such as medicine, fuel, and anything else that might be seen as essential.
The only way to actually predict an economic downturn, though, is to keep an eye on the signs. So, although it may not be very interesting, you should learn enough about the stock market, banks, and the economy to know what's going on. This way, you will be aware of just when you need to pull out.
You may be surprised by the number of threats you are at risk of every day. However, there is no need to be concerned because now you know what is out there and what can hurt you. Not to mention, you also are aware of what you need to do to stay safe during any and all of these situations.

THE WORLD'S Largest Potato on Wheels has been added to the line-up for the 16th Annual World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Officially the world's shortest St Patrick's Day Parade route, the march consists of just 98 feet, spanning the length of Bridge Street in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
One of the more unique parades for Irish American's eager to celebrate their ancestor's much-loved Patron Saint, this year's iteration is being held on Sunday, March 17th and this year will feature a very special and very large new addition.
The four-ton Big Idaho Potato and its accompanying truck and trailer will almost fill the length of Bridge Street, according to Steve Arrison, CEO of Visit Hot Springs and one of the founders of the parade. It's still viewed as an important addition to this year's event.
"The potato is woven deep into the heritage of Ireland and the millions of Irish Americans whose ancestors fled the Great Potato Famine of 1845 – 1852," Arrison said.
"That catastrophe left a million Irish people dead and saw a million more emigrate to the United States and other parts of North America."
"While the Big Idaho Potato will bring still more zany fun to our World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade, it will also serve as a reminder of why so many Americans trace their ancestry back to Ireland," he said.
This spectacular spud, which is being sponsored by the Idaho Potato Commission, travels the country annually, making nearly 70 appearances at events across the length and breadth of America.
It's the equivalent of 21,562 potatoes, while a spud this size would take an estimated 7,000 years to grow, they say.
The potato would take two years in a hot oven to bake and would make 20,217 servings of mashed potatoes or 970,380 french fries.
It's also 802 times heavier than the largest potato ever grown, which tipped the scales at 11 pounds.
"The tremendous tater annually makes appearances in such events as the Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., the festivities surrounding the Kentucky Derby and NASCAR Poconos Raceway," Arrison said, "so we are really pleased that they have added Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, to the tour for 2019."
"Along with the great new events we've added for 2019, the First Ever 16th Annual World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade will be the most spectacular one we've ever seen."
The Big Idaho Potato Truck Tour has always had a charitable component to it, A Big Helping.
During its tour, the truck's management team will identify local charities to receive a $500 donation via a Signature Board that's set up at the events the Truck visits.

Psalm 28:7 says, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him."
Welcome to World Prayer Today as we travel to the African country of Burkina Faso where one listener similarly encourages us:
"I am happy to become a Christian! What I noted when I first repented was this big unaccustomed joy that enlivens me again today and this big relief that filled my heart. I pray that through your programs in my language of Bambara that other people, especially my parents, will discover Jesus and also live daily in joy. It is more than I ever hoped for or dreamed."
Isn't that a great encouragement for all of us today? Let's pray that more people in Burkina Faso will hear God's Word and be filled with the joy that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
Join us tomorrow as our journey through Africa continues in Gabon.
I'd also like to know how to pray along with TTB. Sign me up for the World Prayer Team!

Rad'Noj, The Necromancer Betrayer, is a Unique Necromancer found in The Royal Crypts in Act I of Diablo III.
He is classified as Human, and is not based on any regular monster found anywhere in game. He can summon Skeletons (which is hardly noticeable, for the crypts are crawling with them anyway) and cast an ability that resembles Poison Nova, and attacks in melee with his sword, much like Jondar. Furthermore, his name spelled backwards is Jondar. He uses the same model as any other Necromancer in game.Rad'noj can be found as the target of a bounty.
- When read backwards, Rad'noj spells Jon'dar; possibly a reference to Jondar himself.
