Before my clients come into my Glasgow studio for their portrait session I always like to get to know them before they arrive. I call this the "pre-session warm up". It's particularly important when dealing with younger children and babies. So before I start any session I chat to Mum and Dad about their child's personality, likes and dislikes. When you arrive at the studio I have a little "photographer-child interaction time" that occurs before we begin the session. I always suggest you arrive around 15 minutes early to your session so we and any can get to know each other. This is important for younger children, they can get a little frightened or shy interacting with someone they don't know. The aim of my portrait session is to document your child's personality, therefore, we want him or her to be comfortable with me and with the environment.
Some children are super friendly right away, while others can be quite shy and need extra time to come out of their shells. There's no right or wrong way for your child to act. It's important to not have too many expectations on how they should act. Your child will do just beautifully on the day!
I had little Catherine in the studio with her American Mummy Ashlee. Ashlee contacted me to shoot some portfolio images of Catherine for a Model Agency in London. So it was important to have some good clear head and shoulder shots of Catherine. No need for much of a warm-up session with Catherine as she was smiling when she came to the studio. I think from the images I've attached you can really see her personality shining through. We all had a pretty good time during the session and Ashlee was happy with the images from the session.

The iconic industrial metal band, Rammstein, is coming back after 10 years away from the studio. After teasing their fanbase for the last two years, rhythm guitarist Paul Lander confirmed the news.

While promoting his new guitar pedal, Landers revealed in an interview with Music Radar that the next Rammstein album is almost complete and should be expected in early 2019.
"Right now, it looks like this new record will be coming out next spring, and what we've been mainly doing is playing together in a circle, with all the guys in one room. Our drummer [Christoph Schneider] has these electronic drums, so we've been using them to play a bunch of ideas together."
Landers is known to tease fans about upcoming projects. In early 2017 he shared that the band had 35 songs in the works, but fans are getting testy after waiting nearly two years. Since the beginning of 2018, the lads have been sharing studio pictures on their social media pages, fuelling the hype.

For the first time, the six-piece will be taking a different approach to being in the studio. Landers shared the details on how the boys want to spice things up:
"It hasn't been like a pre-production where each member is alone; it's been more of an all-together kind of thing. We liked the sound of it so much that we've decided to make the record more [as] a band-unit recording than a bunch of guys playing separately. The basic idea is you are hearing a band playing. … it's inspired by our live sound, which is exactly what we're going for."
They're one of the only metal bands to have never changed their lineup of musicians. Since their inception in 1994, they've released six studio albums and toured the world extensively. They are a beloved act for European festivals due to their booming theatrical stage presence and scorching hot pyro displays. The singer and frontman, Till Lindemann, is widely considered the mastermind behind the wackiness of Rammstein.

Next year will mark a decade since their last studio album, Liebe ist für alle da. The new album reportedly features an orchestra, choirs and heavily distorted guitar chugs.
As of this writing, the German metal icons have only two shows scheduled for the next year, in Mexico. Rammstein will hit the Explanada Hotel in Puerto Vallarta on New Year's Eve to, quite literally, end the year with a bang.

A Simple Guide to Extending your Lease
11 December, 2018
The Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 gives lessees of flats the right to extend their lease by 90 years in addition to the remaining term at nil ground rent subject to payment of a premium. There are some qualifications criteria including have been registered as owner of the flat for two years before being able to obtain the right.
We recommend that you appoint a valuer who is a member of ALEP so that you know that they are a specialist in dealing with lease extensions. We always recommend that you appoint a valuer as the first step in the process so that you can get an idea of the premium you might expect to pay.
Once you have the report from your valuer we can prepare the Notice to serve on your landlord. That is called a Section 42 Notice and sets out the proposed premium and terms. We will serve that notice on your landlord and any head lessee or third party to the lease. The landlord has two months in which to reply to the notice by way of a Counter Notice. In that time they will need to have their valuation undertaken and so arrangements will need to be made for access for their valuer. They can also ask you to pay a Statutory Deposit which is 10% of the proposed premium and to deduce your Title to the property. We handle all of that for you.
Usually your landlord will agree that you have the right to extend your lease but not the level of premium and so at that point your valuer can start to negotiate with the landlord's valuer. They have a maximum of six months in which to reach an agreed premium and in that time we also need to agree the new lease terms with the landlord's solicitor. The law does not allow the parties to change very much in terms of the content of the lease but things might need updating or made compliant for a mortgage lender. Some landlords may want to impose a whole new lease if your existing one is outdated.
If premium and terms have not been agreed by the end of that six month period we will make an application to the First Tier Tribunal which is the body that has the power to determine various issues between landlords and lessees and they have the power to determine the premium, the terms of your lease and the level of costs you should pay to the landlord.
The application is very much a fall back position and most of the time terms will be agreed before it is necessary. However if an application does have to be made then that is usually a trigger for the parties to reach agreement relatively swiftly thereafter, as a lessee is not responsible for paying the landlord's costs involved in the First Tier Tribunal. If no application is made then the lessee's notice is deemed to be invalid and is withdrawn, this means that you would not be able to start the process for a further year.
A lessee has to pay the landlord's reasonable legal and valuation costs and we will negotiate those for you.
It is very important to service Notice before your lease term drops below eighty years otherwise the premium becomes a lot more expensive so if your lease is coming up to eighty years unexpired do get in contact as soon as possible.
At Storrar Cowdry we try to make the process easier for you, we are experienced in doing bulk lease extensions in blocks so if a number of you have short leases we can offer reduced costs.
To understand more about the process or to obtain an estimate please call Jane Canham on 01244 400567.

Pupils will be able to get free sanitary products at all primary schools in England from 2020, the government announced on Tuesday, after warnings girls were being forced to skip classes due to being unable to afford them.
Officials said they decided to expand funding previously only offered to higher-level schools and colleges to include schools for younger children aged up to 11 after feedback from teachers, students and parents.
"This is fantastic news... Period poverty should never be a barrier to education," said Amika George, who founded the #FreePeriod campaign pushing for free menstrual products for schoolgirls from low-income families.
"With free access to menstrual products for every child in compulsory education, every student can go to school without the anxiety or stress of worrying where their next pad or tampon will come from."
Some 10 percent of girls in Britain have been unable to afford sanitary products, according to a survey by the children's charity Plan International in 2017, with campaigners warning many are forced to miss classes as a result.
Chancellor Philip Hammond last month announced funding for free sanitary products for students at all secondary schools and colleges.
Have you read?
However, the scheme had not initially covered primary schools, with campaigners against period poverty warning that some younger children were also in need.
"After speaking to parents, teachers and pupils, we are now extending this to more than 20,000 primary schools so that every young person in all our schools and colleges gets the support that they need," said children's minister Nadhim Zahawi.
The Department for Education said the funding would be in place for primary schools from "early" 2020.

On one of my long commutes home from work, I had an idea for a post related to driving, cars, etc. Why not discuss all of the annoying observations of our fellow motorists? So from my perspective, here are just a few of my observations:
- Hummers- Question for you, weren't Hummers invented for the military? If the answer is yes, then why is a 120 lb soccer mom named Amy driving around in yellow one? I just don't understand the allure of driving a vehicle better suited for a war torn country….not the Midwest.
- Vanity Plates- So let me get this straight, you have to pay to have a special word put on your license plate? But then you'll realize someone already has that word so you completely jumble it, using numbers just to convey the word Mommy? What purpose does this serve other than me almost crashing into your car trying to figure out the ironic word you are making out of tr8ng.
- The "not really secured" load- Ever get behind a half-secured load of debris, logs, metal piping….whatever, and think to yourself 'if that comes loose, I'm totally getting decapitated."
- The Sonic Boom- Often times you hear the train wreck before the train wreck has come into view. How can someone find listening to multiple sonic booms enjoyable? I want to ask them, "can you hear anything other than BOOM, BOOM, BOOM? Do you have a hearing aid?" It's really bad when you can hear their windows vibrate, or worse, your windows.
- Tinted windows- Tinted windows are fine within reason but when you roll your window down 7″ in the dead of Winter so everyone can see how bad ass you are, then you just made me throw up in my mouth.
- Stick figure family- I would say this is my #1 pet peeve. No offense but I don't care about your family. If anything, the #1 thought that goes through my head when I see the family of stick figures is, 'Jesus Christ, how many kids does this family have?' Then they add the family pets and I want to scream. Additionally you have the moron parent that adds names to each figure which I'm sure every pedophile drools over now they know 1 more thing about your kid. I believe like the vanity plates, you should be required to pay a tax for every figure you put on your car. Maybe you'll think twice about adding it to the back of your stupid yellow hummer.
So do you have driving pet peeves? What are they? What can I add to the list?
P.S. Looks like we have these ass holes to thank:

Once, I was walking along the street and saw a guy going into the sewer. I got closer for a better look and could see that he was carefully fixing a sewer pipe. Beside him was a river of green water. Suddenly, the pipe he was fixing exploded and sewer water sprayed all over him, blocking his vision, and he fell into the river of green water. I stepped away from the sewer water coming out of the pipe and at this angle, I could see that there was a horse swimming in the pipe. I got so freaked out I never went there again.

When the Pager Goes Off at 2:00AM as an IT Professional
Having been an IT Health Professional for 25 + years now, you start to realize a few things when your help is needed.
- When you are called to assist there is always someone on the other side that is trying to treat, diagnose, or stabilize someone's loved one. I always remembered this when I was called no matter the time of day or night. I certainly didn't want my mother, daughter, or anyone that I loved not able to get the help that they needed because an IT application or system was unavailable.
- Emergency Departments or similar units are crippled when IT systems or applications are down. When a discharge instruction or a prescription cannot be entered or printed the patient care comes to a crawl. This impacts everyone, the clinician and patient, and all the patients waiting for care.
My role is to ensure that these systems and applications are available, and that is how I connect to the purpose of caring for patients and members.

A Shrewsbury woman is scaling in heights as a tribute to her dad who is a football club 'legend' in the town.
Llarni Bates is aiming to climb one of the world's highest mountains this month to raise around £4,000 for Dementia UK.
She decided to take on the trek as an accolade to her father Chic Bates who was formally diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer's in 2013.
Chic has enjoyed a 40-year relationship with Shrewsbury Town as a prolific goal scorer and successful manager, has been inducted into the club's Hall of Fame and still attends matches as a fan.
"I started noticing changes in my dad's behaviour eight years ago when he was just 61. Two years later after brain scans he was diagnosed and currently there is no prevention or cure for this disease," explains Llarni, who works as a senior legal assistant with Shrewsbury firm Wace Morgan and has never done anything like this epic climb before.
"Living with dementia can have a big emotional, social, psychological and practical effect on a person and their families. Many people with the condition describe these effects as a series of losses and adjusting to them is challenging not only for the individual but also for those supporting them.
"Each day I have first hand experience of living with this, seeing the day to day impact it has on my dad, my mother, myself and my brother. Also the frustration can be that my dad still looks the same and yet his functioning is limited.
"Sadly and rather disappointingly I have witnessed my dad being avoided, discriminated and even made fun of because of his illness. Having said that he has received so much love and support, care and understanding which is incredible and I am so grateful to those kind people.
"As a daughter of a sufferer I want to raise more awareness and in doing so I also hope to raise money for the charity Dementia UK."
Llarni is training for the trip by climbing local hills getting up at 4am some days to scale the Wrekin twice before work.
On September 21 she will be flying out to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, which will be a four-day ascent with a two-day descent.
"I am funding the trip myself so any money I do raise will all go to the charity and I am hoping to collect around £4,000 in sponsorship.
"This challenge is sure to put me through so many emotions – I am excited, nervous but overall determined," she added.
Llarni¹s colleagues at Wace Morgan collected more than £250 for her cause, which directors matched, meaning that the firm handed her a cheque for just over £500 towards her fund raising target.

And once again…
Magazine cover created by Kaz Productions.
Magazine cover created by Kaz Productions.
The headlines which followed may not have been so positive, however.
Paul: Exactly.
Or they might have been.
Norris urged a no vote for Lisbon, another reason not to vote for him.
If you thought this possible, why the pessimism on this front http://jasonomahony.ie/?p=9839 ? I do think Norris could have been a contender had he not given the Magill and Daily Mail interviews or written that letter. I just think it's a little early to be cynical about a different campaign that has yet to start.
My fear, having taken part in eight referendum campaigns of various sorts is that the No side will not campaign on the issue, but on a side issue, which will be the right to adopt, and on that issue, I feel the Irish are still very conservative.
I understand the fear, having been through two referendums. But it can be won, and it depends on liberals being prepared from the start, not being taken in by early poll leads and learning the lessons of similar campaigns elsewhere, like Prop 8 in California or Prop 1 in Maine. And certainly not by saying that it'll be grand, we'll get it right second time round. I don't want to wait that long.
Though I can owe you a pint for being a good Cassandra if it is defeated.
In fairness, I didn't think Pres Obama would win either!
In fairness, it's not like he doesn't have questions to answer
This is true.
Rumour has it that in at least one of the unpublished letters he attacked the character of the child victim and again muddies the waters around the age of consent. One would also wonder about the circumstances of his departure from Trinity.

As a custom invitation artist sometimes you have to incorporate many motifs in one wedding "logo" monogram art motif.
I've been helping couples and creative hosts design custom invitations for over 15 years. Incorporating more than one artwork in a monogram can be challenging.
This tropical motif monogram for my clients' destination wedding in Puerto Rico is a perfect example!
Above, you will see each art and the stationery card it is printed on.
The 7″ w x 5″h art print is a great keepsake for wedding guests!
Now-a-days anything goes when creating personalized wedding invitations. Incorporating a guitar and hand painted maracas on the reply card changes the look but stays with the theme. Not every card must have the same art. All cards can infuse different artworks.
Have fun expressing your personal style in your custom wedding invitations. Your options are truly endless! I am happy to help you style and design invitations for all occasions! Due to the high volume of custom wedding invitations requests please contact me 6-12 months before your event. firstname.lastname@example.com

Why Saline Solution is important and how to make it properly
What is saline? The best saline solution is called "Normal Saline" and is used in medicine as an intavenous infusion and for cleaning wounds. As a nurse I probably get through twenty litres of it on a quiet day. Most piercing enthusiasts make their own "sea salt soak", and I would bet that 99.9% of them get it wrong and seriously slow down the healing process. Knowledge is power, and if you know why it's important to get it right, you will make the effort and reap the benefits in faster healing times.
One of the properties of normal Normal Saline that distinguishes is from water is that it is isotonic. Isotonic solutions have equal osmotic pressure to the interior of your body cells, and that is hugely important for healing; in plain English, it means that the same levels of salts and other electrolytes are inside your cells as are in the same volume of the isotonic solution.
Why does it matter that your Sea Salt Soaks (SSS) are isotonic? The usual approach that people take to making a SSS is to whack a dirty great big scoop of salt into a glass of warm water. DON'T DO IT! If you do, the water from inside your nice new healing cells gets drawn out into the SSS and those cells subsequently shrivel up and die. Similarly, if you put too little salt in your SSS, the water gets drawn into your nice new healing cells and they explode and die. Seriously. They actually explode. This equalising of osmotic pressures by fluid transfer is why drinking sea water can kill you and why your fingers go wrinkly when you're in the bath too long, by the way.
So how do you make a Sea Salt Soak properly?
First of all, use the right salt. TABLE SALT WILL NOT DO! It contains Iodine and anti-caking agents which are terrible for wound healing because they dry eveything out - wounds heal faster in a slightly moist (but not wet) environment. The only salt you should be using is pure sea salt with no other additives. Malden Sea Salt is one option, but there are other brands.
Secondly, get your measurements right: Normal saline is 0.9% concentration. Water weighs 1g per 1ml, so it's pretty easy to figure out that we need to use 9 grams of sea salt per litre of water. If you don't have accurate enough scales, that's about one large, heaped teaspoon of salt per litre of water.
Thirdly, the water should be as pure and sterile as possible. You can acheive this by pouring it through a filter jug with a Carbon filter (such as a Britta filter jug) to remove heavy metals such as chlorine which are added to tap water in the treatment process, and then bringing it to boiling point and allowing it to cool. Add the salt while the water is still warm and it will disolve better.
So now you know why it is important that your SSS should be the right concentration and how to do it properly. You're welcome, needle fans!
So you're getting a piercing and you're switched on enough to avoid Claire's Accesories and seek advice in an online forum of piercers and pierced from around the world. Kudos. You're doing well so far.
Aseptic Technique 101
What I want to walk you through here is basic aseptic technique - the things your piercer should be doing while piercing you to make sure that if you get an infection it's your own damned fault and nothing to do with him/her!
Let's talk germs. Specifically, let's talk about Methacylin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, otherwise known as MRSA (and also as Apocalyptic Megabug of Death that will Kill Us All, if you read the Daily Mail). The truth about MRSA is that it's NOT a "hospital superbug". It's a particular strain (actually, it's several different strains by now) of a bacteria called Staphylococcus Aureus which is present in normal skin flora - which is to say that everybody is covered in the stuff. We all have billions upon billions of microbes living on our skin. Mostly, they are harmless. Around half of the population of the UK is colonised with an MRSA strain of Stapholococcus Aureus, and most of them will never know it. It's only a problem when it gets inside your skin - at which point it can do this:
That's a grade two pressure area infected with MRSA, for anybody who's interested in that sort of thing.
Many bugs are not killed by boiling or chemicals. Some of them are not even destroyed by high doses of Gamma radiation (for example the prions which cause CJD, the human equivalent of mad-cow disease). Stapholococcus Aureus, though, can be destroyed by alcohol. Which means your piercer should be cleaning the area he/she's about to pierce with.... Survey says.... STERETS!
They'll remove any MRSA in the surrounding area and prevent the needle from pushing it under the skin - and that, my friends, is a GOOD thing. Your piercer should also be alcohol gelling their hands before and after every client contact, and more importantly washing them with antimicrobial soap following an approved seven-point handwashing technique, like this one:
Don't be afraid to ask to see them do it - You're paying for their time, after all.
Now let's talk about gloves. There is a toss-up about whether sterile gloves are required or if normal medical examination gloves (which are not sterile) should be used. The bottom line is, will they be in direct contact with your skin after it's pierced or with any surface that's going to go through your skin? If yes, sterile is the way to go. They cost £16 for 50 pairs of lilac Nitrile - thats 32p a pair. Not exactly bank breaking, even if you do what I do and double glove.
Not everybody does it, but here's a useful tip: Put two pairs of gloves on, do all the prep work such as cleaning the area, then pull off the top pair and presto-changeo you're sterile again for the piercing without the fiddle of putting sterile gloves on again. Which you do like this, by the way:
One thing: that nurse is using latex gloves - your piercer should ask if you have a latex alergy and use nitrile or vinyl gloves instead if you do. I know many tattooists and piercers who routinely avoid latex and only use nitrile because latex is such a potent allergen and you don't always know if you're allergic to it. It's never used in operating theatres anymore for the exact same reason - they are latex free zones.
Remember also that people who walk around wearing the gloves are what we in the medical trade call "morons". You glove up at the last minute to avoid absent mindedly picking stuff up and touching things and so accidentally contaminating yourself. I see other nurses do this all the time and it drives me nuts.
Let's talk tools a second.
Surgical markers for marking out your piercing: Them puppies are single-use disposable items. You haven't gone to all this trouble keeping somewhere aseptic only to dab bacteria between customers with a pen right on their piercing sites, right?
Clamps. You want to see clamps come from a sealed, sterile packet or straight out of an autoclave. This is totally non-negotiable. I've seen piercers with bundles of clamps in a jar on their table, not even covered up, and I've walked out. I'm fortunate enough to have been vaccinated against Hepatitis B, but I still don't want to take that kind of risk thank you very much! You should be reasonably confident that your piercer has autoclaved the jewellery too - again, don't be afraid to ask.
Needles. Bit obvious, I know, but these are single-use disposable items that come in sealed, sterile packs and which should be disposed of in a proper sharps bin after use. The sharps bin sounds like a trivial detail but it isn't; it's a legal requirement, and it's an expensive one. If a piercer isn't prepared to pay what it costs to dispose of their sharps properly, my first question is: What else have they skimped on?
So there we go! How to be confident that the only thing in your new hole is a chunk of Titanium. Once again, needle fans - you're welcome.

It's been a tad quiet here lately. The past year has really been a transition for us, but life is coming back together in a spectacular way. In fact, our lives have changed.
I'm pregnant! It's still surreal to speak those words. The fact that we're bringing home our baby this summer is something that occupies my thoughts day and night. Being a mom has been my life goal since I was a very little girl and it almost doesn't seem possible now that it's here.
Due Date: Sometime in July or August. Because I'm a firm believer that babies come when they're ready, we won't be sharing the arbitrary "due date" with others.
How I'm Feeling: Honestly, not very pregnant. I'm exhausted, but that has pretty much been my only symptom this entire pregnancy. I'm anxious and worried at times, but that's normal for me.
Birth Plans: Birthing Center with Certified Nurse Midwives and a Doula. No, a midwife is not a witch and yes, birthing centers are safe for most births.
Nursery: No definitive plans, yet. I think John is going to attempt to build the crib, though!
Names: We have a girl name, but a boy name is proving much more difficult.
I'm excited to share more as time goes on, but mostly I'm just ready to hold my tiny babe. Thank you for coming with us on this journey. We are absolutely thrilled and we can't wait to meet this tiny new person.

* Al Bayda said to be held by protesters joined by police
* Government forces reported fighting to retake control
(adds details, reports that militias trying to retake town)
GENEVA, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Anti-government protesters have seized control of the eastern Libyan city of al Bayda after they were joined by some local police, two Libyan exile groups said on Friday.
But later both Swiss-based groups, citing contacts in the city, said government militias had been rapidly reinforced and were now attacking to retake al Bayda, with the people fighting back with any weapons they could find.
"Al Bayda is in the hands of the people," Giumma el-Omami of the Libyan Human Rights Solidarity group told Reuters in Geneva.
"The city is out of the control of the (Muammar) Gaddafi regime," said Fathi al-Warfali of the Libyan Committee for Truth and Justice.
The reports, which the two groups said were based on their own telephone contacts with the city of some 250,000 people, could not be independently verified.

This package is auto-updated.
Last update: 2020-07-09 04:52:58 UTC
This project enables you to create a full functional project for RESTFul server Api.
This project install the follow components:
- PSR11 Container dependency
- A JWT Authentication
- Pre-configured for different environments (DEV, HOMOLOG, LIVE, etc)
- Database
- Docker for build your project
This project requires in order to run:
- composer
- Docker.
Installing Docker
Follow the instructions for your environment at dockers web site.
Installing PHP
Debian systems just do:
sudo apt install composer php php-sqlite php-mysql
On Windows system the easiest way is installing from Chocolatey. Once chocolatey is installed you can just do:
choco install -y php composer
Stable Release
composer create-project byjg/resttemplate YOURPATH 4.0.*
Dev Release
composer -sdev create-project byjg/resttemplate YOURPATH master
How to use
After the command create-project is executed some questions will be asked for setup your new project.
You can create the project by your own hand:
composer install npm i node_modules/.bin/usdocker --refresh -v
This project uses a PSR11 implementation for container. The implementation is from byjg/config.
Start editing from "config/config-dev"
The build process will enable you create an artifact of your project. The "Builder" can easily turn your project inside a docker container.
The ready to use command is:
# If you do not have a test database you can do: node_modules/.bin/usdocker mysql up # Update the database APPLICATION_ENV=dev composer migrate -- update # or reset if you want to recreate # Build APPLICATION_ENV=dev composer build
Build TL;DR
The build process uses the configuration environment defined in the PSR11 Container
The process for build is:
- Read the PSR11 Container with the specific environment;
- If exists PSR11 "BUILDER_DOCKERFILE" variable it will copy the Dockerfile template from 'docker/Dockerfile' to the workdir and apply the customizations;
- Run the commands inside the PSR11 "BUILDER_BEFORE_BUILD" variable
- Run the commands inside the PSR11 "BUILDER_BUILD" variable
- Run the commands inside the PSR11 "BUILDER_DEPLOY_COMMAND" variable
Your PSR11 Container must have the follow variables:
- BUILDER_VARIABLES => an array with custom variables. By default there are:
- %env% - Your current environment
- %workdir% - The root workdir
- BUILDER_DOCKERFILE: an array with specific commands for the current environment. Basically
the build process will copy the docker template file from 'docker/Dockerfile' and replace the
string comment
##---ENV-SPECIFICS-HEREwith the commands defined here; IMPORTANT NOTE: if the array is empty or null, the Builder will ignore the custom Dockerfile
- BUILDER_BEFORE_BUILD' => The commands before start the build image. For example the grunt command or a minifier;
- BUILDER_BUILD =>The commands used to build your artifact.
- BUILDER_DEPLOY_COMMAND: The commands used to deploy your artifact. Maybe a docker run command or a docker push or everything else.;
Migrate database
The sample database requires you have a MySQL running.
You can install the MySQL or running a Docker file. We use the "USDocker" project that make easy create and up Database/Services instances.
The default user/password is "root/password".
If you're using the USDocker just do the line below before run :
node_modules/.bin/usdocker mysql up
Update to the most recent database version
APPLICATION_ENV=dev composer migrate -- update
Reset the database
APPLICATION_ENV=dev composer migrate -- reset
Note: be careful with this command, because all of your database will erased and recreated with the migrations scripts.
Database TL;DR
The migration process uses the byjg/migration
Basically there are migration scripts located at "%workdir%/db".
The initial file is "base.sql" and the migration are "%workdir%/db/up/1.sql", "%workdir%/db/up/2.sql" and so on.
The basic migrations command are:
- reset: Will reset the database starting from "base.sql" and apply an migrations starting from 1.sql.
- update: Will update the database until the most recent version existing in the migration;
- update --up-to=n: Will update the database until the version 'n' existing in the migration;
The connection is in the Psr11 container variable 'DBDRIVER_CONNECTION';
The ORM uses the byjg/micro-orm
There are a basic example in "%workdir%/src/project/Repository/DummyRepository". The defintion in the Psr11 container variable 'DUMMY_TABLE'
To run the tests you need to start the database and build the project.
After all, you have to setup the environment and the username for test
export APPLICATION_ENV=dev export TEST_ADMIN_USER=admin export TEST_ADMIN_PASSWORD=pwd export TEST_REGULAR_USER=user export TEST_REGULAR_PASSWORD=pwd vendor/bin/phpunit
Fix problems
Error: Script "mysql" does not exists.
node_modules\.bin\usdocker --refresh --home ..\db
Error: connect ENOENT /var/run/docker.sock
If you are running under Windows or Mac or even a Virtual Machine outside your local host try to setup the docker to:
node_modules\.bin\usdocker --global docker-host=http://localhost:2375 --home ..\db
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.
Try to add to your hosts file the follow line:
127.0.0.1 mysql-container
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'database'
export APPLICATION_ENV=dev
composer migrate -- reset
How to setup the environment APPLICATION at Windows command prompt?
Use the
set command.
set APPLICATION_ENV=dev

Christmas 2018 was unique.
It was my first Christmas away from home.
I wasn't home to sort of help Mom cook, to clean and set the table, to quietly snap candid photos and preserve memories. I missed out on the annual Friendsmas with my high school crew and our sometimes absurd/sometimes serious White Elephant gift exchange. I didn't put up one single Christmas decoration or even feel like doing so.
This was also the first Christmas since the unexpected passing of my uncle in July and my paternal grandmother mid-December.
Weird is an understatement.
To take advantage of my three week Winter Break, I planned a multi-country jaunt across Europe. I opted to spend Christmas in Budapest, Hungary to save money.
I first visited Budapest in 2012 and was curious to see how the city had changed in the years since.
Christmas Day in Budapest was a pleasant one. Breakfast in our AirBnb complete with champagne heavy mimosas, a crackling fire on the TV with Netflix, and Christmas music blaring.
The day continued with a two hour soak at the Szechenyi Thermal Bath, a quick sandwich lunch at the AirBnb, brief wandering around downtown before we got too cold, drinks at Mazel Tov, and a delicious home cooked late dinner. I wore my Santa hat all day to celebrate and received more than a few stares because of it.
We had to rush to the grocery store the day before to buy food. The city legit shut down by 3 pm on Christmas Eve and few businesses opened again until the 26th.
Budapest Airport to City Center
Connor and I landed in Budapest on 24 December at 10:10 am. Since we had flown from Italy, another Schengen Agreement country, we did not have to go through customs. We met up with fellow Fulbrighter, Kellie, in the terminal and stopped in the supermarket to grab bottled water and a snack.
Outside the arrivals hall of the airport are ticket kiosks for the various public transportation options in Budapest.
Bus 100E directly connects the airport to the city center. It requires a separate ticket and costs 900HUF (one-way). This bus runs every 30 minutes and takes roughly 35 minutes to make the trek.
We bought the regular bus ticket on accident because we didn't know any better at the time and ended up hopping on the 200E bus. The single ticket price for a normal bus is only 350HUF. This line takes you to the Kobanya/Kispest metro stop, forcing you to take a metro into the city.
Note that a bus ticket does not let you transfer for free to any other method of transportation. You either need to purchase a separate metro/tram ticket OR buy a special Transfer ticket. Kiosks to purchase tickets are usually outside metro entrances or at busier tram stops.
Remember to validate your ticket.
When riding the metro, the red or yellow validation machines are at the entrance before you descend to the platform. For buses or trams, validate your ticket in the machines immediately upon boarding. Controllers randomly check to ensure you are traveling with a validated ticket. If you're caught without one, expect a fine.
This happened to me on Christmas Day. We walked into the metro station that morning and saw four controllers standing around a validation machine. None of them looked away from their conversation to ask us if we had a ticket so we breezed by and hopped on the metro. As we tried to exit at our stop, guess what? A Controller was checking tickets. Kellie and I had the misfortune to not have a validated ticket. Connor had sneakily purchased a 24-hour day pass at the airport the day before so he wasn't hit with a fine. Lucky duck. I had a ticket in my purse and asked the Controller if I could validate it super quick to not be fined. Nope, he said. Zero mercy. The fine to pay right then in cash is 8,000HUF. If you don't have cash, you have to pay 16,000HUF later. Thankfully Kellie had enough cash and paid for both of us. Bless you, Kellie.
For more information on public transportation options in Budapest, check out this website.
Fun Fact: Budapest's metro is the oldest electrified metro on the European continent.
Free Walking Tour
I have used this company both times in Budapest and thoroughly enjoyed it each time! Remember to tip your guide what you feel the tour was worth.
This impressive building is awe inspiring and a symbol of Budapest. Gracefully decorating the side of Danube, at night the building is lit up in the most magical sense.
You can purchase tickets for a guided tour of the House of Parliament. Tours are available in English, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Russian, French, German, and Hungarian. For non-EU adults, the ticket price is 6,000HUF. The cost is dramatically lower at 3,100HUF for non-EU students between 6-24 years old. Ah to be young again.
The largest church in Budapest, St. Stephen's can hold up to 8.500 people. The dome of the Basilica is 96 meters high, the same height as the Parliament Building. Current building regulations stipulate that no other structure in Budapest can be taller than 96 meters. The two having the same height symbolizes the balance between church and state in the country.
There's a suggested donation of 200HUF to enter the basilica and if you want to climb 365 steps (or use the elevator) to the dome's observation deck, that costs 500HUF.
Buda Castle & Fisherman's Bastion
This is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings. First built in 1265, the current buildings in this spot today were built between 1749 and 1769. Located atop Castle Hill on the Buda Side, the castle can be reached by taking the funicular, walking or bus 16 from the Pest Side.
For 10€ you can partake in a two-hour guided tour of Buda Castle. Tours begin daily at 2 pm and you must book in advance.
Gorgeous views overlooking the Pest Side await you from Fisherman's Bastion. Don't miss out!
Budapest has some large things, huh? This synagogue is the largest in Europe and the second largest in the world, holding up to 3,000 people. The complex consists of the Great Synagogue, the Heroes' Temple, graveyard, the Memorial and Jewish Museum.
During the winter, the synagogue is not heated. Wear layers! The synagogue is closed on Saturdays, Jewish holidays, and Hungarian national holidays.
It's supposed to be beautiful inside, but I chose to not go in because the entry fee is 4,000HUF and I was being cheap.
One of the largest thermal bath complexes in Europe, this is not to be missed. Not only are the buildings gorgeous, painted a lovely yellow with white trim, but who doesn't love a good soak in mineral-rich water?!
There are 21 different baths of varying temperatures both inside and outside available to enjoy. Expect a crowd and don't think too hard about whether the person standing next to you is peeing in the pool or not…
A daily ticket is 5,500HUF and includes use of a locker and changing room. Towels can be rented for 2,000HUF, robes for 3,500HUF, one-piece swimsuits for 2,000HUF and slippers for 3,000HUF. Note that slippers are yours to keep. You don't return those. Rentals can only be paid in cash.
You can purchase massages, pedicures, and manicures as well! Massages have to be purchased in advance by emailing email@example.com.
Created at the end of 19th century to commemorate the 1,000th anniversary of the Magyar conquest of Hungary in 895. At the center of the square stands the Millennium Monument. Behind this focal point is a semicircle of statues depicting other famous men who impacted Hungarian history.
Visit Heroes' Square either before or after a trip to the thermal bath as they are quite close.
Opened in 1849, this suspension bridge connects the Buda and Pest sides. Constructed of iron, it was considered one of the world's modern architectural marvels at the time. Large stone lions decorate each end and inspire a sense of regalness as you walk across. This is a great (free!) spot for cute IG worthy pictures.
Picture it: three floors of goodies! Fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meats, fish, wine, souvenirs, clothing are available for purchase in this massive covered warehouse centrally located in Budapest. Locals still shop at markets such as this for their groceries, especially in the early morning. Experience the hustle and bustle and stop for lunch here if you have time. Closed on Sundays and holidays.
Fun Fact: Hungary is known for paprika and you can see and sniff all you want at the Market Hall!
Budapest has two decently sized Christmas Markets to wander through. The one in Vorosmarty Square ran from 9 November 2018 to 1 January 2019. The Basilica Christmas Market ran from 23 November 2018 to 1 January 2019. Both had artisan vendors selling handcrafted goods, food, and free concerts. And don't forget, mulled wine. I gravitate to it everywhere I go.
Noms & Dranks
We went here twice because a. it was one of the only restaurants open and b. it was delicious! A Mediterranean restaurant featuring Israeli specialties in the heart of the Jewish District, Mazel Tov is glorious. The space itself is beautiful. Tall ceilings, Edison bulb lights strung in the rafters, a tree growing through the center of the back room, and an eclectic, young vibe. I highly recommend their hummus plate and Falafel pita sandwich. There is a substantial bar as well offering beer, wine, liquor, and cocktails. You honestly can't go wrong dining here.
If you enjoy Persian food or want to try it for the first time, eat here. Seriously. I ordered Qorme Sabzi, a spicy beef stew with vegetables and rice. The portion was massive, I was stuffed and it was only 2,500HUF. They serve every type of kebab you can possibly think of, salads, Persian tea, tiramisu, and dough – a Persian yogurt drink similar to Kefir. If you're a vegetarian, you might have some trouble, but could order apps and side dishes to make a complete meal.
A little hipster, a little West Coast old school rap. The bartenders here are pure magic. After getting settled at a table, the bartender appears to take your order. It's not just any order. You essentially have a mini interview with the bartender. You're asked what your favorite cocktail is, what liquor you prefer, and what flavor notes you enjoy. Once you've answered, the bartender gets to work. It takes a bit longer than normal to concoct, but the wait is worth it for a customized cocktail.
We each ordered two apiece. My favorite was a twisted Old Fashioned. It had a smoky flavor from the Scottish Scotch and a tang from the burnt orange slice and aromatic dried flowers sprinkled on top. Each cocktail is ~$10, on par with US prices.
Since we visited Budapest over the Christmas holiday, many restaurants were closed. This chain was one of them. Sad day. The name says it all. Hummus, falafel and a couple types of salad are all that's on the menu.
Chimney Cake
Or Kürtőskalács in Hungarian. Wut. A popular street snack, it's a delicious crispy yet soft dessert coated in cinnamon and sugar. You can find these all over Budapest and should be eaten at least once.
Ruin Bars
Budapest is renowned for their Ruin Bars. Forgotten, abandoned buildings or spaces transformed into hip places to eat and drink for cheap. They often feature multiple dance floors, bars, and even art galleries. Below is a list of the more popular ones. Most are found in the old Jewish District of Budapest. I wasn't able to visit any since everything was closed for the holiday.
All of Budapest's public museums are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm and are closed on Mondays.
This museum remembers brutalities committed by the Hungarian fascist and Communist regimes. Secret Police used this building for detention, interrogation, and torture until 1956.

Today marks a significant achievement for Red Eagle Mining (RD.V) and the entire Colombian gold sector.
The South American nation has a long and storied history of gold mining, but no modern gold mine has been permitted in the country.
This all changed this morning when Red Eagle announced the receipt of their Environmental License, the final permit required for construction and mining of the company's San Ramon Gold Mine for the life of the mine.
According to Red Eagle, the Environmental License was granted in full and without any conditions.
Red Eagle now intends to complete project financing, with commencement of construction scheduled in mid-2015 and commercial production anticipated during 2016.
Once built, San Ramon will be the largest gold mine in Colombia, and will be the first gold mine to operate under modern environmental permitting legislation.
A Feasibility Study published in September 2014 outlined an average 50,000 ounces of gold production over 8 years with cash costs of $596/oz and a post-tax IRR of 53%, according to a March 2015 corporate presentation. The company expects to be able to find additional ounces through exploration of the San Ramon property. Additionally, the San Ramon plant has been designed to double throughput rates.
The next major hurdle will be to secure the initial CAPEX of $74M to construct the infrastructure to mine the San Ramon deposit. Red Eagle had just over $2.5 M in cash at September 30, 2014 and will look to the market to raise an additional $80-$85M through a combination of debt and equity for construction related activities and additional drilling.
"Congratulations to our entire team in Santa Rosa de Osos and Medellin who have maintained frequent and transparent communications with all stakeholders since we commenced work at Santa Rosa in 2011," commented Bob Bell, Red Eagle's Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Bell complimented the professionalism of the local permitting authorities and said he looks forward to partnering with them for years to come.
The news should come as a shot in the arm to all gold explorers and developers in Colombia, as Red Eagle has just proven to everyone, you can permit a gold mine in Colombia.

An evaluating of the regulation of Incentives for Alternative Electricity Sources in Brazil
Dr Élbia Melo, CCEE -Brazil The reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions is one of the major challenges that has been faced by the humankind nowadays. This challenge is straight related to the electricity energy production, considering that this sector is in front line of the greenhouse gas emissions. In this sense, the search for alternative ways to produce electricity energy is one of the main objectives of the 21st century. Brazil presents an unique scenery in the worldwide electricity industry. The Brazilian electricity generation matrix may characterize the power industry as a renewable one. The Brazilian interconnected system which accounts for about 98% of the Brazilian electricity market has an installed capacity of near 107 GW, with the hydro system responsible for 71% of the total installed capacity. Thermal generation main includes nuclear, natural gas, coal, oil plants and biomass. When we focus on alternatives energy sources we figure out a huge unexploited potential in Brazil: 143.5 GW related to wind power and 12.3 GW related to small hydro plants. In the case of biomass source by sugar cane, Read more…

Everyone has a priority in life. Yours is keeping your allies alive. They need you to survive, they count on you to help them to keep fighting without being worried about their health. Always keep an eye on your group member health bar but, do not forget to watch yours. If you die, everyone is probably going to die shortly afterwards. Your first tool to heal and keep everyone alive: Grand Healing, the first ability from the Restoration Staff skill line.
It creates a circle on the ground which restores health to your allies who are inside it. You choose where to place the circle.
I also recommend to change something in your settings:
In Gameplay, check « Casting Ground Abilities ». If it is on « Automatic » or « Off », turn it to « On ».
It will cast automatically your area ground skill. If you turn it off, you have to cast the skill twice, which is a waste of time! Once to activate the skill, and a second time to cast it on the ground. Take the habit to use « Casting Ground Abilities » as soon as possible. I strongly recommend to morph it to Healing Springs. The circle on the ground will end after three seconds, which is enough, and you restore magicka for each ally in the circle up to three.
The other morph gives you one more second on healing. It is not worth it! Three seconds are enough, and when it is not, one more second will not be enough too. It is better to cast it twice in a row than having one extra second.
If Healing Springs is your main tool to heal, you still have other options: Steadfast Ward, the fourth ability from the Restoration Staff skill line. It generates a shield which protects the ally who has the lowest health. It is more like an emergency skill that you use when someone is about to die. You cast the shield, making sure your ally (or yourself, because the shield can save your own life if you are the one with the lowest health) is protected while you cast another skill to heal them.
Here, both morph are equal. The shield from Healing Ward heals when it expires. With Ward Ally, you will generate two shields: one for yourself and one for an ally but without the healing effect when they expire. If I have to recommend one morph, I would say that Healing Ward could be better because it heals. Also, I like Ward Ally because you protect yourself at the same time, that leaves you time to heal without being worried about your own survival.
Regeneration, the second ability from the Restoration Staff skill line. Contrary to Grand Healing, which heals instantly a big amount of health, Regeneration applies a healing over time. It means the targets will be healed for a smallest amount of health every second over twenty seconds. As for Steadfast Ward, both morph are equal: Rapid Regeneration heals more over time but the heal over time from Mutagen is immediately consumed if the targets are low on health.
If you play a Nightblade or a Templar, you have other options to keep a heal over time on you and your allies: Funnel Health or Extended Ritual.
War Horn, the ultimate ability from the Assault skill line. Morph it to Aggressive Horn to grants Major Force to you and your allies, increasing critical strike by 15% for eight seconds. If the DD hits the enemies harder, it means they will be defeated faster. More short the fight is, easier it is!
Last but not least: Necrotic Orb, the last ability from the Undaunted skill line. Energy Orb is the best morph, as it heals. The damage from the other morph, Mystic Orb, is not worth it. Energy Orb is not simply a yellow ball that moves on a straight line and heals in its way: when your allies activate the synergy, they restore their stamina or their magicka, depending on which pool is the higher.
Restoring your allies resources is one of your priority as a healer. Do not forget to cast some orbs every twenty seconds to your allies.
You do not have to count on your skills only to heal your allies. Some gears have effect that occurs when you heal a friendly target: Earthgore makes appear a bloody cloud which heal your allies under it, Sentinel of Rkugamz summons a dwemer spider which restores stamina and health.
Second step for being an effective healer: buff and debuff.
Now you know how to keep you and your allies safe, it is time to set up your gear. As a healer, you have to help your allies to deal more damage and increase their resistance. Combat Prayer, morph of Blessing of Protection which is the third ability from the restoration staff skill line, grants Minor Berserk, Minor Resolve and Minor Ward, three buffs which increase your and your allies damage done, physical resistance and spell resistance for eight seconds.
Like Earthgore and Sentinel of Rkugamz, there are gears that help you to buff your allies: Spell Power Cure and Vestment of Olorime. Both apply Major Courage, increasing damage done to you and friendly targets.
The buff does not stack, meaning the bonus from Major Courage will not be add up. You have to wear Spell Power Cure or Vestment of Olorime, but never both at the same time!
A healer have to debuff the enemies too. If, by buffing, you increase something for friendly targets, by debuffing, you will decrease something on enemy targets. Elemental Drain, the fourth ability from the Destruction Staff skill line, decreases the spell resistance and apply Minor Magicka steal. When someone else deals damage to the target with Minor Magicka steal, they restore a bit of magicka.
Usually, healers have a Lightning Staff in addition to the Restoration Staff. With a Lightning Staff, your Elemental Blockade, the second ability from the Destruction Staff skill line, becomes Blockade of Storm. It put the enemies in the area off-balance, increasing the damage done by the players who have unlocked Exploiter, a passive from the Champion Points blue tree. Only Blockade of Storm apply off-balance.
The fire and the ice effects are different. As for the buff, you have gears to debuff, like Infallible Mage. It applies Minor Vulnerability, increasing damage taken, to the target that you have attacked with a fully-charged Heavy Attack.
Last step for being an effective healer
For your weapons, go Powered for your Restoration Staff, as it increases the healing done, and Charged for the Lightning Staff. It increases the chance of applying a status effect, meaning the enemies in the Blockade of Storms will be off-balance very often. You can enchant your restoration staff with a magicka damage glyph. Use a shock damage glyph for your lightning staff, which will help to apply a status effect to the enemies.
For your gear, I recommend to use Infused for head, chest and legs, because it will increase the effectiveness of your enchantment, and Divines for hands, waist, feet and shoulders, because it will increase the effectiveness of your Mundus Stone.
For all your gear, use an enchantment which adds more magicka. For the jewels, Arcane is a very good trait for healers, but you can use Infused if you want to increase the enchantment of your rings and necklace. You can also use an enchantment which decreases the cost of your magicka abilities, which increases your magicka recovery or which increases your spell damage. Just use whatever you feel comfortable for your own resources management.
Mundus Stone
The Atronach adds more magicka recovery, which is very important for healers, as it helps to manage your own magicka pool. If you feel comfortable with it, you can use the Mage to increase your maximum magicka or The Ritual to increase your healing done.
You have the choice between these types of food/drink:
Blue type, to increase your maximum health and magicka,
Purple type, like Witchmothers Pttent Brew (drink) to increase your maximum health and magicka but also your magicka recovery.
Yellor type, like Clockwork Citrus Filet to increase maximum health, health recovery, magicka and magicka recovery.
Spell critical potions, which restores instantly magicka, increases your magicka recovery, your spell damage and your critical spell damage.
To craft it, you need the following reagents: Cornflower, Lady's Smock and Water Hyacinth.
Last step for being an effective healer: Your Race.
Each race has racial passives which increase a statistic, like your maximum magicka, your healing done, etc.
- Argonian: increases your maximum magicka by 3%, your maximum health by 9%, your healing done by 5%. And whenever you drink a potion, you restore 4620 health, magicka and stamina.
- High Elf: increases magicka recovery by 9%, maximum magicka by 10%.
- Breton: increases your maximum magicka by 10% and reduces the magicka cost of your abilities by 3%.
Bonus: a build for every class
A healer using: Spell Power Cure, The Worm's Raiment and NightflameIn your Restoration Staff bar, be sure to have Combat Prayer, Healing Springs and Steadfast Ward (Healing Ward or Ward Ally). You can also use Regeneration (Rapid Regeneration or Mutagen). In your Lightning Staff bar, be sure to have Blockade of Storm, Elemental Drain and Energy Orbs. You can slot Energy Orbs in your restoration staff bar, but I recommend having healing skills in both bar. Your skills that are not from the restoration skill line can be slotted in the lightning staff bar.
A quick rotation (but take into account that I do not speak about class skill): Elemental Drain on enemies before the fight starts. If you use Regeneration, cast it before the fight too. If you have Vestment of Olorime, Healing Springs then Combat Prayer. If you do not have Vestment of Olorime, Combat Prayer
only. Blockade of Storm. Energy Orbs. Use Aggressive Horn whenever it is ready for. Repeat from the beginning! Depending on what the second healer is using, this is how I set up my Weapon bars:
|Kagrenac's Hope
|Kagrenac's Hope
|Kagrenac's Hope
|Kagrenac's Hope
|Reduce spell cost
|Reduce spell cost
|Reduce spell cost
|Restoration Staff
|Magicka drain

- Kagrenac's Hope adds spell damage, which increases your healing done. Healing scales on spelldamage and maximum magicka. This set is craftable after finishing the Fighters Guild quest line.
- Sanctuary increases your healing done by 12% for you and up to eleven group members. You
fin dit in the Banished Cells I and II.
- When you heal a friendly target, Chokethorn has a 15% chance to summon a strangler which
heals you or an ally. You find it in Elden Hollow I for the helmet and in Maj al-Ragath's chest for the shoulders.
For expert:
|Vestment of Olorime
|Vestment of Olorime
|Vestment of Olorime
|Vestment of Olorime
|Jorvuld's Guidance
|Reduce spell cost
|Jorvuld's Guidance
|Reduce spell cost

|Reduce spell cost
|Restoration Staff
|Jorvuld's Guidance
|Magicka drain
|Lightening Staff
|Jorvuld's Guidance
|Shock damage
- Jorvuld's Guidance increases the duration of all Minor and Major buff by 40%. Major Courage
from Vestment of Olorime will end after twelve more seconds, Major Force from Aggressive
Horn will end after four more seconds… You fin dit in Scalecaller Peak (Dragon Bones DLC).
- With Vestment of Olorime, when you cast a ground ability (Grand Healing, for instance, but donot forget it does not concern Combat Prayer), you create a circle for ten seconds that grantsMajor Courage for thirty seconds to you and friendly targets who are in, even after leaving it.You fin dit in Cloudrest (Summerset chapter).
- Earthgore 2% healing done and when you heal a friendly target, you have a 50% chance ofconjuring a bloody cloud above his head which heals over six seconds. You fin dit in BloodrootForge for the helmet (Horn of the Reach DLC) and in Urgalarg Chief-bane's chest for the shoulders.
In addition to the sets above, here is a list with other good Healer sets that you can use (depending on what the second healer is wearing and what the trial/dungeon will require):
* Spell Power Cure – White Gold Tower
* The Worm's Raiment – Vaults of Madness
* Gossamer – Cradle of Shadows (Requires Shadows of the Hist DLC)
* Healing Mage (Mending) – Aetherian Archive
* Nightflame – Veteran Elden Hollow II
* Torug's Pact – Craftable (Requires 3 Traits)
* Molag Kena – White Gold Tower
* Master's Restoration Staff – Veteran Dragonstar Arena
* Maelstrom's Lightning Staff – Maelstrom Arena
* Maelstrom's Restoration Staff – Maelstrom Arena
Heavy and Medium or all Light?
Going with one Heavy and one Medium help with your health pool and your recovery when you use activate a synergy because of the Undaunted passives. I recommend to see what fits better with your play style.
Front bar, back bar?
Since Summerset Chapter, staves count as two items set. It means that you are able to use a complete set on your front bar and another one on your back bar, and wearing a Monster set without loosing a bonus. You can use Spell Power Cure or Vestment of Olorime on your front bar and back bar a Maelstrom's Lightning Staff. Usually, you do not need to haveVestment of Olorime or Spell Power Cure on both bar: just be sure having the skills you use to apply the effect on the right bar. The Maelstrom's Lightning Staff will increase your damage done when you do a Light Attack.
I recommend to « weave », which means doing a Light Attack before casting a skill. If you do not have a Maelstrom's Lightning Staff, a Torug's Pact will be enough to start with: the first bonus adds more spell damage, which will increase your damage done with Blockade of Storm and the healing done by your healing
skills on this bar.

After the aliens almost destroyed their world 2000 years ago, they had to escape to their moons and nearby planet for survival. Some either missed their trajectory or flew out of their solar system to parts unknown.
Space travel had advanced to allow the ahmans to search for their lost brethren. In the process, they discovered another species called humans on Mars.
Two people from Mars decide to be the first humans in deep space by choosing to come with the aliens in their quest of discovery.
Acceptance has to be earned. What happens when societies have split in different directions? Will they remember their past?


text: Happy Black History Month! I went on an amazing poetry masterclass with Jean "Binta" Breeze today. It was organised by the Writers' Centre Norwich. I loved her vocal warm ups - how she got us to play with phonetic letters to see where they formed on our tongues, our lips, our teeth, our throats. I loved the way she talked about the power of silence - how the audience hush before a poet speaks is beautiful and the poet must 'seduce the air'(thanks Laura for recording this so perfectly in your blog). I asked her if she chose poems in advance when she's doing a performance and she said no, she has her book and she responds to the audience and the atmosphere, almost like a DJ. I thought there was something very person-centred about this. It wasn't a case of "listen to me, I'm the great poet", rather she listens to the audience to see what they need. It was such a privilege to spend the afternoon with her - an unforgettable experience.

[A] MAN who downloaded hundreds of indecent images of children has been sentenced by a judge.
Carlisle Crown Court heard how 57-year-old Graham Plant had been warned by his sister, and advised to seek help, after an indecent image was discovered.
But two years later, after he was admitted to hospital, she and her husband called police amid concerns over the content of electronic devices they found at his home. These contained almost 1,000 indecent images of children, including 74 classed in category A, the most serious.
These were downloaded between 2008 and 2015.
Plant, a man of previous good character, admitted making the illegal images, and possessing prohibited images of a child.
He was handed his punishment today (TUES), when Recorder Louise Brandon spoke of a "difficult sentencing exercise".
Concluding that Plant, of West Close, Shap, wouldn't get the specialist help he needed in prison, she suspended a 12-month jail term for two years.
He must sign the sex offenders' register and abide by the terms of a sexual harm prevention order, each for 10 years.
Recorder Brandon told Plant: "It is not a victim-less crime. Real children are depicted in these images and they are suffering real abuse."

CBC - Silver
This was for last weeks Created Byhand Challenge and I had it done last week but it was a crazy week (and weekend) and I didn't get it posted... so I'm posting it late. It's a very simple atc but I like it a lot!!! That WAY cool paper for the background is called pebble metallic silver... I got it from Quietfire Design and it's on their website here. It comes in a pack with gold and copper also. The black dots around the edge are Enamel Accents. Inspire (part of a set found here) is stamped on white cardstock and inserted in a Tim Holtz Ideology Ornate Plate. Pretty pink silk flowers (found in the wedding isle at the craft store) to finish it off.

A client we recently fired insists that we to turn over the QBDT file to them although we refuse, what would you do in this situation?
I have been the firm that is on the other end of the situation – Where the client, for whatever reason, is leaving and we are on-boarding them.
It is truly a great help to have the QB file regardless of how it was used. If we get a file from a peer, they will also include a short note with any relevant details and an offer to take my call if I have any questions.
I have a great deal of respect for those that try to make the transition go smoothly regardless of the circumstances of the termination. When the client tells me the former accountant will not release a copy of the file, it sends me a red flag – not so much about the client whom I've been working with directly, but about the former accountant.
Unless the file would somehow indicate that the previous work was done incorrectly, I'm wondering why it matters so much – unless it is a way to "punish" them for being bad clients. And it leaves a bad impression with the new firm that is hired.

I know many of you have Health Related New Years Resolutions, and, not to be negative, I know many of you won't achieve them. Here are some ways to ensure you will be successful in the New Year.
1. Make A Plan: Many people plan to fail because they fail to plan. A trained Acupuncturist can help you develop a proper plan based on your individual qualities and constitution. By doing a diagnosis of your individual pattern, they can help you get faster and more targeted results.
2. Set an Achievable Goal: Often our goals are set too high and we give up when overwhelmed with the magnitude of it all. Because an Acupuncturist can give an accurate evaluation of where you are, they can also accurately tell you where you can expect to go.
3. Change your mind, Change you life: Research has shown that Acupuncture, Qi Gong, and Meditation have numerous effects on the brain. These effects can allow you to stay more focused and disciplined when working toward your goal.
4. Improve your Efficiency: No matter what your health related goal is, by tuning up your body with Acupuncture, you can increase your chances of success. Whether it be improving your metabolism to help with weight loss, healing an injury to allow you to exercise more, or relieving the effects of stress to keep your blood pressure down, Acupuncture can be your ace in the hole.
5. Supplement your Efforts: Most Acupuncturists are also trained herbalists, and can give you a targeted herbal supplement to help you achieve your goal.

Case Profile for #116 General Shiro
In history, General Shiro was a war criminal who used weaponized bugs to wipe out his enemies. Turns out this week's Blacklister is looking to repeat history. But much like Red, this Blacklister is only killing specific targets who are tied to a pesticide known as Hexapine. It was designed to kill off viral carying insects after a natural disaster but was deemed harmful for the environment. Turns out the creator of Hexapine is in fact our modern day General Shiro and as an entomologist his platform is to save the bugs. Without bugs the human race would cease to exist, so he blocks the legalization of Hexapine by kiliing those that would make it legal by infecting them with beattle larvae which then eat the victim from the inside out.
Meanwhile Red works his magic to pick a jury of his peers, which not sure how that works when his peers are criminals and you can't serve on a jury as a convicted felon. Regardless he seeks to stack the deck with the help of his neighborhood DMV friend Glen to find jurors in the records that would support his case. In the end Dembe and Liz have a conversation about Liz's mother that will have the internet "buzzing" for a while.
Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: If Dembe was rescured after Katarina walked into the ocean, how can Liz remind him of Katarina?? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.
General Shiro In Pictures
Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.
The Music of General Shiro
As a group of doctors operate on our victim in the cold open we hear the buzzing sounds of Erdem Baatar performing "Mongolian Throat Singing No. 7". Later on in the episode as Dembe accepts the mission to find a favorable jury we hear "Cool Daddy Charm" by Orchestra Heinz Kiessling. Then when Dembe and Liz chat at the end of the episode about Katarina we hear "Keep Moving" by Communist Daughter.
You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

Why you should buy an eBike in 2019
Electric bike sales have exploded over the last few years, with constantly evolving smart technology and lower price points bringing motor-assisted pedalling to a far wider reach of consumers. The benefits of an e-bike are numerous and appeal to many – for commuters they offer a fast and effortless way to get to work and, for mountain bikers, an e-bike opens up more opportunities to venture further and ride previously unconquerable hills.
HMRC figures estimate around 62,500 e-bikes were imported into the UK in 2016, the majority of which fall into the leisure and commuting category. An electric bike takes the strain out of commuting, reducing time spent waiting in traffic and eliminating the feeling of arriving to work exhausted and out of breath.
Venture Further
As well as opening up new avenues for experienced cyclists, electric bikes offer an entry point to two-wheels for those who may have been previously deterred from taking up cycling. With assistance from a motor, particularly over hilly terrain, an electric bike can help riders reach new levels of fitness and achieve goals previously considered unattainable.
Electric bikes falling into the hybrid or leisure categories are great for days exploring bike paths, bridleways and country lanes. These types of e-bike are also great for getting around town, taking a trip to the shops and commuting. A leisure or hybrid e-bike typically comes with a rigid or low-travel suspension fork, the frame will sit the rider in a fairly upright, comfortable position and will be equipped with semi-slick or grippy, knobbled tyres.
Two ways to buy this January
Now is the time to set your stall out for the year and invest in a new set of wheels. Ditching the car and travelling by e-bike instead can save a fortune in the long-term. After the initial outlay, the electricity costs of an e-bike will be as low as £5 a year. Compare that to the running costs of a car (petrol, tax, insurance etc.) and it's a wise investment and it's better for your health and for the planet.
To help with the initial outlay this January we're offering two ways to pay:
- The Wheelbase Trade-In – Save up to £1000 on a new bike until January 13th with this promotion.
- 0% finance with 0% deposit – Spread the cost over 36 months and pay nothing up-front.
The bikes
We've pulled together some of our most popular e-bikes for leisure riders and commuters and we have a huge range of bikes on display across our 3 stores in the North of England.
- Powerful Bosch CX 500w motor.
- Explore trails and bridleways with the wide, 2.6″ tyres.
