Does life throw you curve balls?
My husband and I got one thrown at us this past Monday morning. He called and spoke with his boss in Cincinnati on the phone, like he does every Monday morning. Out of the blue his boss told my husband that they were laying him off. The rest of the day felt surreal for us. From what we can gather, it sounds like my husband's position is being taken over by someone off-shore, in India.
I grew up seeing my dad stay at the same job until he retired. The older and wiser the employee was, the more valued he was--this was the paradigm of the 60's and 70's. Employees weren't laid off merely because they could be replaced by someone cheaper. But things are changing in this country. It's all about the almighty dollar. But, of course, employers still want you to be dedicated to them--even if they don't return the favor. What kind of work environment is this going to morph into? Employees will be hesitant to give their all because they can no longer feel secure. Productivity will go down, prices will go up, more and more jobs will go overseas, less and less money will stay in the US, so buying power will be reduced, and companies will flounder, etc., etc.,
Jobs in this country are precarious. What can we do about it?
My husband is nearly 55 years old and a computer programmer--a profession that is known for its age discrimination. His chances of finding work will be difficult. If he can't find a suitable job soon, he's thinking of pursuing the same avenue as more and more people in his position--become his own boss.
I'm my own boss, having run my own small company for years. I am also a self published author--a choice many have had to make with the changing dynamics of the publishing world. It's a lot of work, but it is comforting to know that a midst this ever-changing percarious world, there are options. We can weather the storms of change. Though the country we live in has its problems, it is still great; it is conducive and welcoming to the little guy with big dreams.
What kind of curve balls has life thrown you? How have your dealt with them?

Consultants Address Latest Trends, Challenges
Jeff Boothe has spent nearly forty years in the public transit industry combining decades of project experience, counseling clients on federal compliance issues, and shaping federal laws, regulations and guidance that govern public transit. More
Jeffrey F. Boothe, Managing Principal at InfraStrategies discusses the latest Trends and Challenges with METRO Magazines's Alex Roman. "We have been successful in broadening the level of support for transit and now probably have more Republican support for transit than just about anytime I can think of in all the years I've been working on the program." -Jeff Boothe
Excerpted from METRO Magazine | June 5, 2019
METRO spoke with several consultants who not only discussed the nation's growing infrastructure needs and the current funding challenge, but also their role in the changing mobility model, challenges they face as firms, and ways they could help deliver projects more efficiently and cost effectively.
Alex Roman, METRO Magazine: What is your perspective on the impact this Administration has had on the transit industry in its first couple years?
InfraStrategies' Jeff Boothe: When the Trump Administration started in 2017, we had concerns with reports from the transition team and outside organizations that the Trump Administration was trying to zero out portions of surface transportation, which included the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program. We have moved from that starting point to the FY20 budget proposal where the Administration didn't zero out the CIG program and actually requested funding, including for some projects that don't yet have grant agreements. That was a marked change from the revised budget for FY17, as well as the FY18 and FY19 budgets.
Perhaps, those moves might mean that we are seeing some grudging recognition that the program enjoys strong support on Capitol Hill and that led to putting some money in the program for FY20. That's progress, in terms of understanding the role and importance of the CIG program. I would say, we have also demonstrated strong business community support, and that those businesses are typically located in non-urbanized areas, which are often areas where there's strong Trump support. Members of Congress are realizing the program has a reach that goes far beyond the cities in which the projects are located and that benefits that are derived from the funding of the program go well beyond those cities. We have been successful in broadening the level of support for transit and now probably have more Republican support for transit than just about anytime I can think of in all the years I've been working on the program. I think those are some things that started as negatives, but have turned into positives over the last couple of years.
Alex Roman: Overall do you feel the industry is pleased with how things are going?
Jeff Boothe: I will say this… we are in a period of transition right now. What I mean by that is that we have to figure out an alternative or supplement to the gasoline tax that allows us to build on it since we don't have a viable alternative. Frankly, there is not yet a politically viable alternative to the gasoline tax. We're not yet at the point where we can implement a vehicle-miles travelled tax or other means to capture revenue. Having said that, it's undeniable that as we begin to see growth in electric or hybrid-electric vehicles, as well as the growth and interest in autonomous vehicles, the gasoline tax will increasingly cease to be a surrogate for the impact on the wear-and-tear on the nation's transportation system. Finding an alternative becomes imperative as how people travel and the vehicles used in the surface transportation system move to electric and/or autonomous vehicles over the next 10 to 20 years.
Honestly, most of the innovations have come at the state and local level where folks are beginning to look at different methods to raise revenues beyond the use of the gasoline tax and to begin to capture the impacts of electric vehicles, transportation network companies (TNCs), and autonomous vehicles, when those vehicles begin to emerge.
Alex Roman: Is there any groundswell forming that supports at least raising the gas tax?
Jeff Boothe: That is a very good question. There is support in the House, as evidenced by Peter DeFazio, Earl Blumenauer, and a number of House Democrats that have expressed support. But for every indication of support, we get thrown a curve ball by Senate Democrats who are now trying to leverage the gas tax to offset the impact on families as a result of the 2017 tax bill. On the Senate side, we have a Republican, Roger Wicker, who is chair of the commerce committee, who has gone on record as supporting a gas tax increase and saying that it is what we have to do. As is so often in politics, we have some odd bedfellows.
The question is whether Congress can come together and develop the political courage to once and for all raise the gas tax, which is now in its more than 25th year of not being raised. Meanwhile, we see at a state level that many have raised their gasoline taxes without political repercussions for those members in the legislature that supported the gasoline tax increases. It is more a matter of getting over the fear that there will be political repercussions in 2020 for members of Congress who support a gas tax increase. Congress is looking to the President to show some leadership by signaling he would support the tax increase. We need Congress and the President to take the steps necessary to put surface transportation on a sustainable foundation, because right now the current situation is not sustainable.
Alex Roman: You recently launched a new firm that includes Carolyn Flowers, Sharon Green, Jeff Morales, and Michael I. Schneider… can you discuss what your biggest challenges are as a new firm?
Jeff Boothe: Certainly, within the firm there are five people that are well recognized within the industry. That is a great starting point. It's just a matter of time from where we begin to go out there in the marketplace and to tell people about what we're capable of doing that we will continue to win work.

Reviews of Mushara Bush Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Mushara Bush Camp review
What a difference! This place is truly lovely. Set in beautiful grounds with wildlife grazing around the tents.
A fabulous pool and the accommodation was top notch. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent.
We wished we had stayed here longer and flagged Okaukuejo! Didn't have a chance to do much here as we were en route to the Caprivi.
Highly recommended as a place to stay.
Great camp!
Not much to say, great camp just at the border to Etosha - at the time of our visit there was a lot of termites in the air due to the rains - perhaps some alternative for eating out could be arranged so that guests doesn't have to eat termites as well?Read more about the whole safari
Expert Africa comments
Chris from the team comments: "Whilst not very appetising at all to most visitors, the bodies of flying termites (less their wings) are fried and eaten as something of a treat, rather like popcorn, in many areas of Africa. I've had these once in Zimbabwe - though I did draw the line at eating them raw, and wriggling!"
Peace & luxury at Mushara Bush Camp
A memorable stay in a small & intimate camp. Beautifully furnished and very comfortable tents, set in woodland with shady verandas.
A large and clean pool, delicious food including a barbeque under the stars at dinner. Lovely staff who couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, especially Hilma the manager.
We would love to have stayed longer than 1 night.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Excellent camp - beautiful pool and restaurant, very child friendly but lots of adults on their own too. The food was the best we had in Namibia. The game on this side of Etosha was fantastic - we saw lions every time we went out, a leopard, a cheetah, a pack of spotted hyenas, herds of elephants. It couldn't have been a better experience.
We especially loved the buffet meal outside.
Room/tents were great - our only comment - it was very hot and the fans in the tents were ineffectual - they really need ceiling fans.
Stylish and convenient access to Etosha
This camp is set in the bush without open views. It is 10Km from the Von Lindequist gate on the eastern edge of Etosha, so access to the waterholes is good.
There is a beautifully constructed, thatched central area with an elegant décor. The grassed area in front was a favourite grazing area for local wart hogs. One evening, dinner was served at the lantern lit Boma.
The accommodation is well spaced. We were in number 8 (of 16). It was about 200m from the lodge.
Mushara Bush Camp was luxurious
High standard accommodation and welcoming friendly staff.
An excellent early morning game drive into Etosha with a very knowledgeable guide was the highlight.
It had become extremely hot (40C+) by this time and we were very grateful for the air conditioning in our tent - too hot to sit out by the pool in the afternoon
Mushara Bush Camp
Absolutely perfect for exploring the eastern end of Etosha. Situated just outside of the park gates.
Their outdoor BBQ is a real treat.
Smile once in a while it could catch on
only stayed one night good breakfast poor dinner
All the staff seemed to be under strict orders to be as grumpy as they could be if that was the case you can let them know they all passed with flying colours
Mushara Bush Camp review
An interesting one this. Somewhat disconcerted that there was nowhere to lock anything away (even the room) other than a small safe. As we had some fairly expensive camera equipment with us that meant we had to carry everything around with us (even to the restaurant). Maybe worth mentioning that aspect. Maybe that is the situation with all canvas camps.
The central area and restaurant were excellent and the staff were very good, helpful and friendly.
Warthog heaven at Mushara
Having been guided through Etosha for a day and a half at the previous location and even though we had driven through Etosha to get to Mushara we decide to drive ourselves into Etosha this time. Consequently we are unable to comment on the guide services here.
However the rooms and central area were wonderful. The lawn outside the restaurant area was a popular spot for warthogs and any time there were competing males together the lawn got chewed up and repair by the gardener a regular task.

What is hair porosity? Porosity is basically your hairs ability to retain mositure and absorb water and can be measured many different ways. One of the easiest ways you can measure your porosity level at home is by conducting a "Float test."
1. Simply take a few strands of hair, preferably freshly washed hair, and place the strands in a glass bowl of room temperature water.
2. If the strand/strands sink to the bottom then you have high porosity hair. If the strand/strands float then you have low porosity hair.
So… you know your hair's porosity level. What next?
Being aware of your hair's porosity level helps determine not only what products you should use, but it helps you decide what methods of sealing and maintaining moisture you should include in your regimine.
I am going to conduct a porosity test tonight on my hair and make a separate post tomorrow. I haven't done a test in a few months, so I am excited about the results!
Do you know your hairs porosity levels? How important is porosity? Have you done a float test?
Share your thoughts and comments below!
Tata, for now!
Always remember: You are Fearfully, Wonderfully and "Beautifully mane."

Dale Earnhardt Jr. overwhelmed with support before final NASCAR race
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been inundated with farewells from fans, tracks and sponsors over the previous 35 NASCAR Cup Series races, but nothing has prepared him for taking his final lap Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
"I am not sure that I'm ready to be going through all of the emotion that I will have in Homestead, but it's coming," Earnhardt said in a statement Wednesday. "I hope that I can handle it well, but it's definitely going to be interesting to see how that feels. All these videos and all these things that our partners are creating, this content has just been incredible. It makes you feel so good in your heart.
"The comments from fans … it is more than you can process and I'm sure that Homestead is just going to be like the cork coming out of the bottle. I'm lucky that Amy (Earnhardt) is going to be there, I'm lucky my family will be there, and my team. I will have so much support and I want to support them. It's going to be emotional for them and our fans."
In addition to his 26 Cup Series wins, which include four wins at Daytona and six at Talladega, Earnhardt has 24 Xfinity Series wins and back to back titles in the second-tier series (then the Busch Series). A 14-time most popular driver award recipient, Earnhardt has won the exhibition All-Star Race twice and is a five-time winner of the Daytona 500 qualifying race.
Despite the Hall of Fame resume, Earnhardt has never won at Homestead and has just three wins at 1.5-mile tracks in his career. He'll likely finish his career on a 54-race winless streak dating back to Phoenix in 2015.
"I'm trying to run hard, trying to do well, trying to figure out our cars and get as good a finish as we can," Earnhardt said. "We're going to have a lot of things going on this week. Going in there and trying to do as well as we can is at the top of the list, but there are a ton of other things happening. We will just take it one day at a time. It's going to be a busy weekend."

Six Tips To Assist In A Relocation From A House To A Condo
Every single proficient hauler knows that going to a condo is a lot different than going to a house. When it comes to downscaling homes, it might be difficult to know what to pack, and what to leave behind since you will also be required to downsize on your bits and pieces. Below are six ways from North Bay local movers to aid with the transition into a condo.
Arrange and tag
The same as any other haul, it is important to set time aside to bring together everything in the home and put them in packages. Make certain that they are all are tagged and labeled so that when they get to the new condo, it will be easy to figure out what is in each box, and which room they should go to. It helps to have a system so that the process can be easier and faster.
Take the haul as a great chance to declutter
Since you are downscaling into a condo, you will presumably not be able to get space for the whole lot. Thus, use this as an opportunity to go through all the possessions and figure out which ones to keep, throw, or donate to charity. That way, there will be fewer articles that need to be packed and transported.
Always be prepared in advance
Moving into a condo does not only necessitate you to have fewer belongings, but it also means that you will have to have smaller items. Before the haul, check that the furniture you have will be able to fit into the new home, and if not, if it is possible to buy new ones if they are too big.
Look for storage space if it is necessary
After organizing the stuff, you may find that you are not ready to let go of all the stuff you own, but you still have nowhere to put it in the condo. For this reason, one might need to get a temporary or a permanent storage unit, guided on what you want to use them for.
Book the service elevator
It is not easy carrying things up and down the stairs, so using the elevator may come in handy. For this reason, and to avoid inconveniencing the other people who live in the building, you will need to book the elevator a week or a few days before the date itself, especially if you are scheduled to relocate on the first or last week of the month.
Go for a professional hauling company
Downsizing is a headache on its own and can be an even bigger one if you are handling the haul on your own. Working along with an expert team can make the haul run smoothly and end on time. Sem's Moving and Storage – your North Bay local movers in GTA are a call away, and our skilled staff will be ready to assist you through the relocation and get the job done right.

We have come to think of whole grains as an important part of healthy eating, but for people with celiac disease (CD), some grains have just the opposite effect. CD, also known as celiac sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is a genetically based autoimmune disorder. When people who are susceptible to CD eat gluten -- a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley -- their immune systems attack and destroy their villi, the finger-like projections that line the small intestine. Researchers think that other factors -- such as viral infections, surgery, hormone status, and severe emotional stress -- may prime the intestine to respond this way.
Without villi, the intestine cannot absorb nutrients properly. At its worst, CD can cause a sudden and severe diarrhea that can lead to massive dehydration and even death. More often, poor absorption of iron, folic acid, or both, can cause anemia; and failure to absorb calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients can led to osteoporosis. Complications include shortened stature, impaired fertility, miscarriages, and neurological problems, including seizures and difficulty walking. CD is also implicated in or associated with a variety of conditions, including skin disorders, thyroid and liver diseases, and Type 1 diabetes. Untreated, CD increases the risk for small intestinal lymphoma and adenocarcinoma.
From a medical standpoint, the treatment for celiac disease is simple: a gluten-free diet. Improvement usually starts within days, and the small intestine is often completely healed (meaning the villi are restored) within three to six months. But avoiding gluten altogether requires enormous dedication. People with CD must give up most conveniently available breads, pastas, and cereals. They must also do relentless detective work to uncover hidden sources of gluten. This daunting task has been made somewhat easier through the advice and information of support groups and organizations founded by those with CD.
CD is well known in Europe, where 1 in 130 to 1 in 300 people are affected and children are routinely screened for the disorder. In the United States, it is less often recognized and is not always the first diagnosis considered. In fact, studies in this country have shown that it can take a dozen years or more to get a proper diagnosis.
One obstacle to recognizing CD is that its classic symptoms -- chronic diarrhea and abdominal distention -- mimic the effects of other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome and lactose intolerance. And new research indicates that these symptoms are less characteristic. Indeed, 50% of newly diagnosed patients report no gastrointestinal problems, and some may show only symptoms of anemia or fatigue.
Until fairly recently, testing for CD required endoscopy to obtain a biopsy of the small intestine to check for damaged villi. But we now have blood tests that measure levels of antibodies (antigliadin, anti-endomysium, and antireticulin) whose presence in the blood strongly suggests CD. A physician will still want to confirm the diagnosis with a biopsy because treatment requires such severe dietary restrictions. Family members should be screened with a blood test because first-degree relatives (children, parents, or siblings) of people with CD have a 10% chance of developing it as well.
Improved screening has given researchers a better sense of the scope of CD. Preliminary results from a University of Maryland study suggest that CD may affect as many as 1 in 150 adults. Estimates based on earlier data including only people presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms gave a prevalence of 1 in 10,000. Celiac disease organizations are hoping that the new awareness of how common the disease is will lead to earlier diagnosis, better treatment, and possibly, mass screening.
If you have CD, you should not eat or drink anything (including any medication) that contains gluten. A major problem for people with CD is that commercially processed foods are not required to list gluten content on their labels. That means that while you can follow general guidelines about eating (such as the chart on page 3), you will also need to do some homework to make sure that a food is gluten-free.
Gluten is widely incorporated in the Western diet in ways that are not always obvious. Many of the thickening agents used in processed and prepared products contain gluten. Some seemingly benign foods, such as dates and commercial candies, are dusted with flour to keep them from sticking. Even a communion wafer can cause problems for some people (gluten-free wafers are available). Several studies indicate that oats are gluten-free; but if harvesting and milling processes are not kept gluten-free, the oats may become contaminated with gluten from other grains.
If a processed food is not specifically labeled gluten-free, you should check the ingredients label. This can flag foods that seem to be safe but are not. For instance, soybeans and tomatoes themselves are gluten-free, but many soy sauces and some ketchups have certain thickeners and vinegars that contain gluten. Also, ingredients in packaged and canned products may change from one batch to another.
Potentially gluten-containing ingredients include food colorings, binders, fillers, extenders, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP), and modified starches. U.S. law requires that a substance listed simply as "starch" in American products be corn starch, which is safe -- but if you aren't sure, call the manufacturer. Check the labels of medications, including vitamins, because most pills have a starch base. Make sure it's made from corn or tapioca.
Even a carefully chosen food can harm you if it is contaminated with gluten -- for example, by breadcrumbs left in a toaster -- during preparation. Utensils and appliances must be kept free of gluten-containing products. If possible, have a separate, gluten-free food preparation area.

Getting the Support You Need
People with CD generally say that they learn most of what they know about it from their own research and discussion with others who have the condition. In fact, many doctors rely on their patients to keep them up-to-date on gluten-free eating, and most recommend that newly diagnosed celiac patients join a celiac support group and a celiac organization. Celiac organizations provide referrals to local support groups and to doctors and dieticians experienced in the disease. In addition, they offer tips on negotiating meals away from home, gluten-free recipes, sources for gluten-free products, detailed lists of allowed and forbidden foods, restaurant guides, and newsletters.

Celiac Sprue Association/United States of America, Inc., P.O. Box 31700, Omaha, NE 68131-0700; (402) 558-0600, www.csaceliacs.org
Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, 15110 10th Ave. SW, Suite A, Seattle, WA 98166; (206) 246-6652, www.gluten.net
Celiac disease interferes with the body's absorption of nutrients, including calcium, and its most common complication is bone loss. Compared with the general population, people who have CD are up to 10 times more likely to develop osteoporosis. The risk is greater if you are not diagnosed until you are an adult. One study found osteoporosis in 47% of adult-diagnosed patients, even though all of them were on a gluten-free diet. People with CD who begin the gluten-free diet as children generally have normal bone density.
Some people -- especially menopausal and postmenopausal women --may need calcium supplements and medications in addition to a gluten-free diet. For postmenopausal women with CD, the most commonly recommended treatment is hormone-replacement therapy (HRT). Raloxifene (a selective estrogen receptor modulator, or SERM), bisphosophonates (alendronate and risedronate), and calcitonin are other options. To help prevent bone loss, people with celiac disease should exercise, stop smoking, and get 1,500 mg/day of calcium from a combination of food and supplements.

Man jailed for possessing axe, knife, knuckle duster and drugs
PUBLISHED: 10:14 17 January 2019 | UPDATED: 10:24 17 January 2019
A man found with an axe, knife and knuckle-duster in a busy town centre has been jailed for 13 months.
Ben Rider, 35, was reported to police by a concerned member of the public on November 5 last year after they saw a 'bizarre handle' poking from his pocket.
As two officers approached him in Wisbech Market Place, Rider attempted to flee but was restrained and arrested. During a search, police uncovered the weapons along with class A and B drugs.
In interview, Rider claimed he knew it was an offence to carry the weapons but it was only for show.
Rider of Follens Road, Walpole St Andrew, near King's Lynn, admitted charges of possessing an offensive weapon in public, resisting arrest and possession of class A and B drugs. He was jailed for 13 months at Peterborough Crown Court.
PC Harley Smart said: "Regardless of whether or not Rider intended to use the weapons, he broke the law and distressed a member of the public in the process.
"I would like to commend the quick-thinking member of the public who alerted officers and hope this sentencing will serve as a reminder of the consequences of carrying weapons"

Why is it that I'm never just be at home during E3? Seriously, I must have some kind of curse on me, because it always seems like the same thing happens to me every year. No matter how much I plan this shit out, something always comes up that makes me either miss the first day or makes me barely miss the big conferences. Luckily, this year saw my spontaneous family outing wrapped up just in time for me to catch the first major show of the biggest event in gaming: Microsoft's "Xbox @ E3 2017 Briefing".

Sbox Soapbox: The Future of Video Game Movies
It is abundantly clear that video games and films are phenomenal on their own, but horrible together. Between the mindless Resident Evil movies, the dull Alone in the Dark movie, and just the Super Mario Bros movie in general, these types of adaptions don't have a good track record. Every now and then you get a decent or good one, like Mortal Kombat or Pokemon, but they aren't too common.
But that doesn't stop Hollywood from trying anyway, with a slew of game-to-movie adaptions on the way for years to come. To our surprise though, these movies are actually starting to look and sound good. Even if we don't have much of an idea of how it will be, we still get excited for these movies just in the hope that it will be decent.
There are currently 21 planned productions of video game films. These include reboots of already-existing films like Mortal Kombat, Agent 47 and Tomb Raider, CG animated films like Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper, live-action films like Uncharted and Assassin's Creed, and oddball choices like Angry Birds and Minecraft.
Can these movies be good? Is the world finally ready for video game films to be great? Is it even possible to have a great movie based on a game?
Well one thing to consider is what makes these films bad to begin with. The two most common complaints of these movies are that it failed to be a good movie or that it failed to represent the game. There are films like Tekken (which I actually like) and Resident Evil that took liberties with the source material to the point where it was unfavorable to fans, but could please some movie-goers. Then there are films like DOA: Dead or Alive and Bloodrayne that failed because the film itself was bad.
I think that hope for game movies were restored by Wreck-It Ralph. It was a big movie with a big name like Disney, featured actual video game characters, and captured the essence of what makes video games great while also telling a good story. What that film did right was understanding gaming, treating it with respect, and being general. It's a great movie that got a lot of gamers gain hope once again for these adaptions.
But what's different now from back then? Why have hope for these projects when so many others failed?
Well I believe that the change in attitude coincides with a change in gaming. Let's compare Super Mario Bros with Assassin's Creed. Not the actual games, but more the time both games were introduced. Games have come a long way from 1985 to 2007. For one, the way games tell stories takes a more cinematic approach now that wasn't that common in the 80's and even early 90's. Super Mario Bros for example has a very weak story of two plumbers fighting a koopa to save a princess. There wasn't much potential from the get-go. With Assassin's Creed, you have a deep storyline told through easily recreatable cutscenes. There is a bunch more hope in one project from the other.
I'm not saying you can never make a game like Mario into a good movie. Japan already beat us to that with The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach, and there were a whole bunch more reasons our Mario movie was terrible. However, you can't deny that games nowadays have more cinematic potential.
Not to say that these movies are guaranteed successes though. Max Payne, Hitman and Silent Hill also came from games with good stories that ended up bad movies. However, I'll refer back to Wreck-It Ralph and say that the way filmmakers view video game movies can be forever changed. With that film's success and popularity they can see what works and apply it to their projects. We are already seeing with the trailers for Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank that they are already taking lessons. So far it looks like those films will take their source more seriously.
But there is one other issue that may be difficult to tackle. Like I said, video games are taking more cinematic approaches to story-telling. How are these movies going to top these stories that are already renowned as they are? You have projects like The Last of Us and Metal Gear Solid that are considered the some of the best stories in gaming. On their own they can be films. It'll be interesting to see how Hollywood attempts to build on these already existing stories when they are already well-told as they are.
Overall, I think that there is reason to have hope for movies based on video games. With how games are now, we are probably on the cusp of the first great game movie, but there is still reason for concern. We've been wrong about this before. Who knows where it'll go from here, but we can only hope that direction is up.
What do you guys think? Are game movies just bound to be terrible no matter what, or is there a ray of hope somewhere that film and games can be one? Are you excited for any upcoming video game movie?
I'm SBox180. Thanks for reading!

Full steam ahead for Central Station's Sydney Metro upgrade
A tender has been awarded to deliver major upgrades to Sydney's Central Station in what is expected to be the nation's biggest public transport infrastructure project.
Firms: Pinsent Masons (Laing O'Rourke Australia); Ashurst (Transport NSW)
Deal: Laing O'Rourke Australia has won the tender to deliver a major infrastructure upgrade to Sydney's Central Station.
Value: $955 million
Area: Government, infrastructure
Key players: Pinsent Masons partner Anthony Arrow led the team advising Laing O'Rourke Australia.
Deal significance:
The Sydney Metro Upgrade is being touted as the biggest public transport infrastructure project in Australia.
As part of the works, the NSW government has committed to the renewal of Central Station, which will include excavation and construction for new platforms, adjustments to existing infrastructure, and a new 19-metre wide underground concourse from Chalmers Street.
The NSW government hopes that upon completion, the upgrade will improve how commuters connect between light rail, suburban and inter-city trains, the new Sydney Metro and Sydney buses.
Pinsent Masons partner Anthony Arrow, who advised Laing O'Rourke on its winning tender, said that the Sydney Metro was an iconic project.
"The project is complex and has been procured under a commercial framework which drives collaborative behaviours critical to its success and the success of the overall Sydney Metro program," Mr Arrow said.
"We are proud to have advised Laing O'Rourke Australia on its successful tender to deliver the Central Station metro upgrade."

CPA Trifecta in Wareham - Housing, Open Space, and Recreation
One of the strengths of the Community Preservation Act is how it creates opportunities for successful partnerships and acts as a catalyst for leveraging new funding. A great example of how these actions can come together and form a successful project can be found in the Town of Wareham, where three non-profits working with their local community preservation committee preserved 8 acres of land along the Weweantic River, opened up access to the river for recreation, and provided new homes for previously homeless individuals.
The project was spearheaded by the Wareham Land Trust, Father Bill's & MainSpring (FBMS), and the Buzzards Bay Coalition who all collaborated to purchase the property in West Wareham. The Town of Wareham's CPC approved of $635,000 in CPA funding for the project, and additional funding was provided through a $75,000 Mass Housing grant and a $35,000 grant from the Buzzards Bay Watershed Municipal mini grant program.
"The project is an outstanding economic value and a unique opportunity for the Town's CPC to address two of its missions – affordable housing and open space', said Nicole Fitzgerald, the vice president of asset management for FBMS. FBMS will maintain and manage the building on the property, which will provide apartments to accommodate up to six Wareham individuals in dire need of housing
The acquisition will also permanently conserve 1,300 feet of riparian habitat along the Weweantic River. This area is also identified as Natural Heritage Critical Habitat and is identified as a priority for protection in the Wareham Open Space and Recreation Plan.
Brendan Annett, Vice President of Watershed Protection for the Buzzards Bay Coalition, the largest land conservation organization in Southeastern Massachusetts, spoke very highly of the project. "With the acquisition of this parcel we are able to expand a green corridor along the riverfront. To protect the quality of our waterways and bays you must protect the land surrounding it."
The property was formerly a cranberry farm and has significant frontage along the Weweantic River, the largest tributary onto Buzzards Bay. The property also includes a trail system, which will connect to the existing Westgate Conservation Area and provide opportunities to access the river for recreation.
According to Annett, the project came together when they looked for a partner for the housing component and were referred to the staff at Father Bill's and Mainspring. The open space porition will be owned by the town and the Wareham Land Trust will hold a conservation restriction on it. Meanwhile, the building will be owned by Father Bill's and MainSpring and will be designated as permanent affordable housing.
"This is a big win for the Town, the Bay, and the housing advocates," Annet went on to say. "I wish we could have more like them."

The importance of securing your business network communications and information means that, as a network administrator, you need to invest in the very best security measures. Among the most effective are two tools that Cisco has developed: the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). This solution allows you to be protected against a wide range of threats, including Adaptive Persistent Threats (APTs), botnets, targeted attacks, SQL injection attacks and malware targeting application and OS vulnerabilities. Cisco IPS solutions come in various different forms, including as dedicated IPS appliances, integrated IPS services, hardware modules for Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) and Cisco Catalyst Switches or Cisco IOS software-based solutions for ISR routers.
The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) specialises in the accurate identification and classification of malicious traffic, such as worms, adware, spyware, network devices and the abuse of applications, stopping them before there is any impact on business continuity. Network administrators can use Cisco IPS solutions to ward off threats from multiple vectors, of which examples include server, network and desktop endpoints. The system inspects in detail network traffic at Layers 2 through 7, in the process shielding the network from vulnerability exploitations, policy violations and anomalous activity.
With a Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in place, the network administrator is assured of the most resilient and scalable network solution, as the system wide and unique security ecosystem that is employed by the IPS solution assesses and responds to threats. Features of this alliance include cross-solution feedback linkages, multivendor event correlation, common policy management, passive/active fingerprinting, attack path identification and IPS collaboration based on the Cisco Security Agent host. Threats to your network can vary greatly at any one time, which is why the Cisco IPS solution responds by evolving and adapting to remain ahead of the security landscape, with the threats of both known and unknown attacks being mitigated.
You'll want a solution for your network that saves time and resources in addition to the assets and productivity of your organisation, which is why the Cisco IPS solution brings such benefits as anomaly detection, extensive behavioural analysis, rapid threat response techniques and policy adjustments to ensure the ultimate protection of your business and infrastructure. Another feature of an IPS solution is the ability to load signature files. These are like antivirus software definitions, as they look for patterns based on past attacks.
The Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS), meanwhile, is a physical device that alerts you when an attack occurs, just like any other alarm system. However, also like any other alarm system, it does not in itself combat the threat – or in this case, block the connection. There are various advantages to the deployment of the IDS system in promiscuous mode – which refers to the sensor being placed where it is not in direct connect with the network, but is nonetheless still able to hear all network traffic. These benefits include no network impact, jitters or latency, as well as no impact on the network in the event of a sensor failing or simply being overloaded. So, while the IDS system is restricted to merely alerting you about an attack, the IPS system is also able to block it.
The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is one of the leading solutions of its type, not only protecting your network against all manner of sophisticated threats and coming in many different forms, but also offering powerful capabilities to help organisations meet regulatory requirements. Other features of the IPS system include simplified management options – such as the easy to use and powerful IPS Manager Express – and other advanced features. Combined with the constant updates that are possible thanks to the work of Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO), an IPS solution is a powerful means of stopping ever-present network security threats.
Contact us at Proxar IT Consulting now, so your business can benefit from Cisco IDS and IPS solutions. We put strong emphasis on security and have extensive experience with implementing those security solutions.

Excuse me while I go have a fun time eating food without feeling bad about it. Oh and there's a couple happy dances involved.
So, Saturday, Boyfriend worked a 12 hour day after waking up at 3 a.m. to start it. I had a bat-crap-crazy day anyway so I wasn't willing to cook and I knew he wasn't either so I decided to celebrate the end of the challenge.
I went to Little Caesars. And got a Hot & Ready. And Cheezy Bread. And Garlic Butter sauce.
I know. I went all out. I couldn't help myself.
I got to his place, put the pizza down in front of his napping body and he was all smiles to see pizza and dinner all at the same time. He's such a kid. I finally got to pee for the first time all afternoon and stepped on the scale. Boyfriend's scale is 4 pounds off so I did the math. Here's the final results of the LuRong challenge:
18 pounds lost. (Total of 41 pounds lost!)
Shaved 45 seconds off my 400m run
Got banded pull ups! (150 of 'em in one WOD! More on that later)
2 inches off bust, waist and hips each.
And I celebrated with half a pizza and about half the bag of cheezy bread. It was delicious. Absolute heaven.
And then about an hour later I had stomach cramps. I woke up the next morning with a carb hangover and a desperate need for water. 2 advil and 2 glasses of water were downed quickly but my stomach still hates me two days later for the pizza. Turns out paleo is probably best for me from now on with limited cheats of small quantities. In other words: If I'm eating a Hot & Ready, eat a salad with it, not cheesy bread. Though god damn that cheesy bread was so good.
I finally found ice cream! And it's not too shabby! And it's so rich that I can't eat a ton of it! Coconut ice cream is awesome. Especially with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bits. omnomnomnom.
No baking done yet. Tonight, though. The bananas are thawed and in the fridge. The walnuts and chocolate chips are in the pantry just waiting to be made into bread. It's going to be amazing. I have REAL almond flour, not just ground up almonds. And I have coconut flour. Holy crap Whole Foods is awesome.

Dinniman tells residents, 'You have to be tough' in fight against Artesian
By Lev
By Richard L. Gaw
Staff Writer
While the Delaware-based Artesian Water resources has effectively remained mum on its future plans for the controversial well it owns at the corner of Newark and Broad Run roads in Landenberg, State Sen. Andrew Dinniman had a lot to say on the topic during an address to a crowded house of concerned residents who packed the New Garden Township Building on Oct. 13.
In an hour-long conversation to moret han 100 residents, Dinniman said that companies like Artesian are global entities and that small towns like Landenberg are only a "speck on their map," and that it will be important for citizens to "stand up," not only against Artesian, but to the many regulatory agencies that govern the use and distribution of water throughout Pennsylvania.
"What's happening more and more is that these regulatory agencies are assuming that they have power to do everything, and they are actually taking over many of the powers that justifiably belong on the local level, especially when it comes to local zoning laws," Dinniman said.
"Those who want profits do not see the green of trees and open space or agriculture," he said. "They see the green of money, so we who value our property and see the green of our open spaces need to show them that we are tough."
Artesian's presence in Landenberg has been a lightning rod of controversy since it first began the exploration of water sources in the area in 2002. This past spring, against both public and legislative opposition, the Pennsylvania office of the Department of Environmental Protection [DEP] granted Artesian permission to conduct a 72-hour aquifer test at the site of the well. At a rate of 200 gallons per minute, Artesian pulled more than 600,000 gallons of water from the ground to determine the potential production value of the well.
The New Garden Board of Supervisors opposed the testing. A Jan. 24, 2014 letter, authored by township solicitor Vincent M. Pompo and sent to John M. Thaeder, Artesian senior vice president, said that Artesian has no record of land subdivision approval, and is in violation of two township ordinance compliance issues.
To date, the results of the aquifer test have not been shared with the public -- a fact that Dinniman confirmed -- but if the well is found to have a sustainable withdrawal, it will be used as a pumping station for Artesian. It will be expected to withdraw 200 gallons of water a minute -- as much as 288,000 gallons a day – and more than 100 million gallons projected over the course of one year. Artesian officials have insisted that the water would be distributed to southern Chester County, and supply area residents.
Dinniman said that Artesian has not yet applied to the DEP for water allocation of well water. On two occasions -- in March and July -- Dinniman's office received assurance from Artesian that the company had not yet applied for the permit, but has been assured that his office would be informed by the DEP and Artesian should the company submit an application for a permit.
Dinniman shared his concerns with the audience, and said that because he grew up on a farm, he knows the anxiety that can happen when water levels go lower. Many local residents are worried that will happen if Artesian begin to draw water from the Broad Run Well.
"Never mind Mother Nature when Mother Artesian has also decided to take water out at 288,000 gallons per day," Dinniman said. "We know the withdrawal of water could affect 50 percent of the homeowners in New Garden, as well as homeowners in London Britain and Franklin townships."
Dinniman told the audience that it has a lot of weapons in its arsenal against Artesian, including being the only county in the state with its own water resource authority, access to geographical survey data to examine flood and drought research, and a connection to the Stroud Water Research Center, which Dinniman called one of the best water research centers in the world.
While Dinniman took up most of the spotlight on Monday, the Save Our Water Committee, a local grass roots coalition, has become the most visible presence spearheading the opposition to Artesian. Supported by a 600-plus e-mail membership and the distribution of more than 200 signs throughout New Garden, London Britain and Franklin townships that declare opposition to Artesian, the committee now lists more than 1,200 residents who have signed a petition opposing Artesian's presence.
"Let me put that into perspective for you," said committee spokesman Barry Crozier. "In the township at the primary election held this past May, it was reported that there were 2,140 registered voters. Of the registered voters, 554 cast a vote. We have five times more signatures opposed to the actions of Artesian than those who voted in May."
The committee has also formed a well-connected, 15-member board made up of scientists, businesspeople, environmentalists and conservationists, who meet regularly with elected officials; local agriculture, environmental and conservation groups; and experts in water science, geology and stream ecology.
"At each meeting, I continue to be amazed at the passion and industriousness of this group of dedicated people," Crozier said before introducing Dinniman.
"You have to be tough," Dinniman told the audience before taking questions. "You fight them by putting signs up all over town. You fight them through your supervisors, to use the legal force of the township. You happen to have a solicitor [Pompo] who is an expert on environmental law. You have to let it be known that it's not going to be easy for Artesian to come in here.
"When citizens have one voice and they make it clear, a company may decide, 'Maybe this isn't the right place. Maybe we should try another township,'" he added. "I have seen it happen again and again. [Artesian doesn't] want to take a lot of time. Time is money for them. ... If you slow them down, that's about all it takes."

Why this question?
In looking around the blog world the other day, I stumbled on a blog by Michelle Lesley. It is well written and thought out but definitely not in line with how I interpret the teachings within Timothy's. No problem, 1 John 4:1 tells us to "not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.". I'm not saying Michelle is a false prophet. I am saying that I (we) are to test what we read and hear against God's word. Not to challenge it or argue against it, but to ensure we are believing, following, sharing, teaching and preaching the right message.
Christ himself gave us an example of how we are to have this conversation in Acts 19:8 when he entered the Lecture Hall of Tyrannus: "Then he entered the synagogue and spoke boldly over a period of three months, engaging in discussion and trying to persuade them about the things of the kingdom of God."
In a nutshell she was discussing the role of women in the church, which is not what we'll talk about today. In a brief exchange between us, I asked "If you believe 100% what you have written here, then you believe 100% what you have taught, proselytized, preached (different people will apply different words to what we bloggers do) here. How does your work here not go against what you have said the Bible does? " Her response took me back, "The instruction is that women are not to preach to, teach Scripture to, or exercise authority over men in the church. A blog is not the church."
What is Church?
I have written about this before (Where We Gather and Here & Now – Worship) as this question as well as what is worship are ones far too many of us do not understand or experience.
A quick survey of a variety of versions of the Bible show that the word church shows up a little over 100 times in the New Testament. When God talks about the church with us, He is not talking about the man made denominations we've created, He's talking about His people. In the Old Testament, church did equal the Temple and people were expected to gather there for sacrifices and teachings (the men anyway). But in the New Testament, Christ changes this format. The Bible does give references to congregations, but those are congregations of cities or communities, not a physical institution. So, what is church?
For the purist among you, the word church comes from the Greek word ekklesia meaning 'assembly' or 'called out ones'.
First of all, we need to understand that the church is Christ:
"He is also the head of the body, the church;". Col 1:24 (HCSB)
Then we need to understand that church is a place of gathering, but it is a place where two or more gather.
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them." Matt 18:20 (HCSB)
Some would argue that the Holy Spirit being present can be counted as one since He is a participant in prayer; I don't think this supported biblically but can understand the argument when Christ gives us examples like the Garden of Gethsemane.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." Matt 26:36 (HCSB) also Mk 14:32
And when we're instructed to privately talk with Abba, one-on-one; two are present.
But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. Matt 6:5-6 (HCSB)
Christ first mentions the work of building a church in Matthew, but He is not talking about the confining walls of a building, but The Church (of Jesus Christ) full of people.
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the forces of Hades will not overpower it. Matt 16:18 (HCSB)
To truly understand what the church is, we must go to the Book of Acts and recognize some major shifts in societal and physical behaviors. One of the largest is the clarity of the message that no one is excluded.
The Disciples were baptized by The Holy Spirit and received His power (Acts 1:8).
Women were included in acts and in gifts. (Acts 1:14, 2:17,18)
Pentecost brought the time of speaking in tongues so the Word of God would be heard by so many more. (Acts 2:4)
One expectation was laid out for followers, REPENT. (Acts 2-38-40)
A picture of church is presented, people who devote themselves to learning, gathering, breaking of bread (eating) with a joyful and humble attitude, and praising. (Acts 2:42,46)
With all of this, we can now go to the question, are we on this blog, a church? Are we discussing, teaching, preaching, sharing, learning and supporting each other in the name of Christ? Are we asking questions to ensure what we learn is true? Does this technology allow us to find God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? I believe so and I believe I am responsible for each person who reads or shares this.
What I do not believe is that this makes me the head of a church or places me over any man who may be reading this. Just as women were including in the act of praying in the upper room, teaching in homes throughout Acts and receiving calls directly to guide others, they were not the head of their churches; they were answering God's call to teach, proselytize, praise, whatever their gift was.
After Michelle and I chatted, I searched out many more blogs and websites hosted by women Christians and I was astonished at how many did not accept responsibility, most saying (in various ways), 'I can not control who reads what I write' and 'if a man chooses to read my writings that is on him'. Really? How is ones accountability for what one shares with one gender any different than the other?
I stand in my conclusion that, I am a Disciple and it is my humble prayer that God uses me, through the Holy Spirit, to reach out to anyone who knows or does not know Him who saves us all, and provides either encouragement or hunger for their own walk with the Triune God. I know I am challenged when I sit down and do this blog for fear of false teachings [2 Peter 2:1]. I humbly pray if any of you ever feel I am guilty, you hold a conversation here with me so we all may grow.
FYI: Those of you that have followed me for a while know I use a multitude of versions of the Bible. I do this for two reasons; one, some versions have wording that is easier to understand and two, to help show that although the words may be in a different order, the meaning is the same. Currently I'm using The Apologetics Study Bible (Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)).

Summary of changes to environmental product law in Hungary
Summary of changes to environmental product law in Hungary
by Emma Mundy at 11:25 in Battery, Environmental, Packaging
A standalone Amendment to the environmental protection product fee has been brought in effective from 1 January 2017. There are no major changes to the legislation, however it brings about clarification on a number of issues.
Chain transactions
The rules on chain transactions have been clarified. A change to the legislation last year meant that foreign companies could become obligated under the Environmental product law, however only foreign companies that sell their products with Hungarian VAT are liable to register. The legislation now allows for the first domestic buyer to take over the obligation of the payment of the product fee by signing a special contract which will need to be approved by the Tax Authority NAV.
According to the Amendment the first domestic buyer can also take over the product fee obligation from the party liable to pay the product fee if at least 60% of the products purchased are exported.
Product charges on commercial printing paper/advertising material
With regards to product charges on commercial printing paper/advertising material, the customer must state in writing at the time when placing the order, or at the time of contracting the printing service provider, as to whether the product ordered is in conformity with the definition of commercial printing paper. The legislation now makes clear that in case of a lack of statement the product should be considered a product subject to commercial printing paper product charges.
Waste Management
It is no longer a requirement of the law to collect waste from end consumers. You can still collect waste, but it is not obligatory.
Plastic bags
Plastic bags used for selective waste collection, biodegradable plastic products manufactured using exclusively renewable sources, and products created during preparation for recycling are now exempt from a product fee, however they are not exempt from reporting.
Flexible cooler bags have been removed from the plastic shopping bags category. They will now be scoped under the plastic packaging materials category which means their environmental contribution will be significantly decreased.
Category codes
Some new KT codes used to classify products such as WEEE and batteries have been added. The previous CSK codes used to classify packaging haven't changed, but new CSK codes have been added along with changes to the environmental protection product fee.
Owing to the nature of the Act it is now no longer necessary to pay an environmental product fee on items that are recycled from obligated products that have become waste.
