Game Market 1983 - Chapter 31
Despite being a high priest with a relatively low defense, Katrina was a major contribution to the battles for having the ability to heal allies. Losing her at stage 15 was akin to forfeiting any further opportunity to turn the tables over in future stages.
Having lost such an important unit, Mr. Shigeru fell into a panicked state, and totally lost his cool, which resulted in his defeat against the black dragon at stage 18.
"D-Damn it… is this my limit…"
This event lasted from 9 am in the morning to 6 pm in the evening, and, of the 100 players, only 11 players — including me — remained, most were tackling stage 20. Much to my surprise, a sole female player persevered amongst the ranks of the surviving players.
"Ahh~ how ruthless. There are now only 11 players left who are still in the game. Ah-! I stand corrected… Two players met their 'Game Overs' just as I said that! Now it has come down to 9 people!! This is a crucial moment, everyone~!!"
Mr. Junpei, who had met 'Game Over' at the 19th stage, was now focusing his full attention on boosting the morale of the remaining players. The game grew difficult for me as well; so much so that I almost let out a curse when I began stage 21.
'Even though it's a level I designed myself, this is still rather extreme.'
On the front line, facing the boss was the main protagonist, who had a high critical striking power, and a knight that served as the tank. Behind them was Katrina, who acted as the last line of defense, playing her role to keep the team away from the grasps of death itself.
Archers whose 'eyesight range' were leveled up served as long-range snipers in an area ten squares from the front line to assist in the crew, and characters whose levels were high enough helped the hero's party to take care of the enemy cannon fodder.
"Exactly when will this game end? Based on the data from the 100 players, we predicted that stage 20 would be the final stage. But right now, we're already past 23!
"The time is far past 9 p.m, but not a single player has left yet, and they are all watching the gameplay with much anticipation. The Demon King has finally shown himself at stage 24!! And the number of the players left is five, two of whom haven't gotten a single character killed!
"They are, respectively, Mintendo's employee, the Korean, Kang Junhyuk, and the beautiful gamer Ms. Yuki. One of them will definitely see the game to its end~!!"
At stage 21… The Demon King is defeated. This stage was even harder than the final stage, stage 25. The reason for that was…
"Ah!! Finally!! The Demon King is defeated!! Player Satoshi has defeated the Demon King for the first time with his team~!!"
The moment the defeat of the Demon King was announced, the audience all flocked over to Mr. Satoshi. Additionally, much to the surprise of the celebrating spectators who thought that there actually was an end to this game, a miraculous thing happened. At that moment, a message window popped up on the screen along with the prophecy of the Nether God.
"Ne-Nether God? Is this really happening? Oh dear!!!"
As the surroundings quieted down, the Nether God that had been unleashed from the body of the Demon King dealt fatal damage to all of the characters.
Mr. Satoshi had immediately lost his entire team without having a clue as to what had just happened. Subsequently, from one magic spell of the Nether God, a red "GAME OVER" notice popped up on the screen.
"This fucking!!!"
Boom!! Mr. Satoshi who had just gotten hit behind his head by the level's design threw his game pad onto the ground. Thanks to his sacrifice, other players knew to let their characters stand far away from the Demon King just before it died.
I also used the optimal distance to position my two archers to defeat the Demon King so I didn't lose even one character from the Nether God.
The Nether God who had inflicted damage onto the hero's team left a prophecy as he faded away, and the plot of the Dragon Emblem was heading towards its climax.
"Phew… I'm tired…"
Only 2 people, Ms. Yuki and I, had passed through stage 23 safely. But Ms. Yuki had also lost one archer, mage, and tank in the process, so before challenging the 24th stage, she prepared herself for the worst that is to come.
The event host also made the screen bigger by broadcasting the gameplay using a giant projector so the gamers who were eliminated could view it better. The video quality was awful, but the players said that it was better than nothing, letting out a fantastic cheer.
"Now~ we are almost finished. Mr. Kang and Ms. Yuki, You two are the only ones remaining from the 100, this places a huge pressure on you guys."
"Go~!! Show us the destruction of this game!!"
Along with the cheers from various places, I met Ms. Yuki's sight and nodded my head, and I challenged stage 24. The Nether God arc spanned stages 24 and 25. Despite it being only two stages, given the loss of Ms. Yuki's key fighting force, she was under immense pressure from the enemy, and she was fighting a difficult battle.
On the contrary, with the maxed archers I used to to deal with the last stage, I easily brushed off the incoming wave of enemies. In the end, Mr. Yuki only had one archer unit left; she had to concede after the enemy started pouring in from the hole in her defense.
"Ah… Ms. Yuki has fallen at stage 24. She is understandably letting out the tears of her soul. Who does the developer of this game think he is to make tears fall out of a beautiful woman~!!?"
That, is he saying that for me to hear…? I smirked at the silly analysis of Junpei, and I focused my attention back on the game. At that moment, Ms. Yuki who had finished retouching her makeup came over to me.
"You must persevere till the end…"
"Ah, yes…"
I calmly stopped the advancing enemies one by one until only the black Demon King was left. After that, I led the characters in the hero's team, who were fully maxed out, to surround the Nether God, and I started attacking from all sides. All the spectators were letting out cold sweat watching my each and every move. At the last stage of 25… The Nether God attempted to use a clone of himself against the hero just when he tried to finish it once and for all.
At that moment, Katrina, whom Mr Shigeru had adored so much, and Mariah, the mage, stood in front of the Nether God, and the game paused. I beamed within my mind as one message popped up.
–Katrina and Mariah… who will you sacrifice to protect the hero–
"Fuck!! No way!!"
"Argghhh!!! This fucking developer's a son of a dog!!!"
The players who were gathered inside the event were frantic. Yes… It was necessary to sacrifice one female character no matter what, to clear this game. The most skillful cleric who was in charge of healing her allies and the most powerful mage… A system that only allowed advancement to stage 25 with a sacrifice of one of these beauties, and I was the only player that could currently challenge stage 25.
"Kurgghhh… Now~!!!! This is truly a nefarious story!! A choice between the best cleric and the best mage… We have to choose now. Everyone~!! What kind of a developer would force an option like this. Really, whoever made this game is a damned bastard~!!"
The ultimatum that I had implemented was receiving all kinds of hate and criticism from the players. But the swearing was oddly very pleasant to hear… It represented how much the players had resonated with the two characters who had gone through many tribulations with the hero and how reluctant they were to give up either one.
Facing the ultimatum, an interesting thing happened inside the event venue. A vote was opened for who would be sacrificed between the two. As the players were discussing amongst themselves, I took that time to get a drink for myself, taking a rest. Then, Mr. Shige approached me, and he said.
"Save Katrina. Please Junhyuk. You can't let her die… I'm telling you, you definitely need a healer in the last stage?"
"Mr. Shige… this is just a game. Why are you being so serious…?"
Mr. Shige, as if his emotions were truly unchained, had tears glistening in his eyes, and he was begging me. At this moment, Junpei also smoothly approached me, opened his mouth, and he said, "A true man should have a future with the sexy mage. Why bother with healing or peeling? Just dominate everything with her magic~ I'm voting for Mariah, Junhyuk."
"Haha, is that so?"
"Ah, I'm telling you to save Katrina!!!"
"It's Mariah that should be saved!!!"
All hell has broken loose. At that moment, Ms. Yuki who had played by my side until the last moment, approached me as well.
"Junhyuk…? Is it okay if I call you Junhyuk?"
"Yes, call me however you please~"
"From what I think, the next stage should be the final stage; you should save a character who is useful in combat, so you can clear it."
The auditorium quieted in response to her words. That's right. The important thing was to clear the game. These players who had watched my gameplay of Dragon Emblem would definitely be able to clear the game the next time around. In response, the players in the auditorium cheered for me, and they let me make the final choice.
"While the players have voted with a ratio of 52:48 to sacrifice Mariah, we have decided to let Mr. Kang, the last surviving player, make this decision. If I had it my way, I would sacrifice a character with a dangling penis, but it's too bad that wasn't an option that was presented to us… Now~!! Mr. Kang, please choose~!! Who will you sacrifice~?!"
After taking a cautious gulp, and looking one last time at the players around me, I selected Katrina to be sacrificed in the end. The atmosphere called for a more calm and reserved lady than a sexy one, so I picked her, after much contemplation, aiming to give the most respect to the players present.
As Mr. Shige let out a desolate wail, Katrina had perished from taking the attack of the Nether God to save the hero. The hero hugged the corpse of Katrina, and he gained the Champion of Light buff, before the confrontation against the Demon King began.
The fun thing here was that the ending changes depending on which character was selected as the sacrifice. If I had sacrificed Mariah instead, the hero would have turned into a Champion of Thunder and Lightning instead. What if both of them were dead by stage 24? Then there would be no buffs given to the hero. Accordingly, beating the final stage would become that much harder, and, even if one was lucky enough to clear the game, no ending animations would be displayed.
"Woah… The hero is raging mad. He has a tremendous attack power. "
As the hero exuded a blue aura around his body, unleashing a sword aura move, the players started exclaiming in excitement. The combined elements of special moves, transformations, and combination attacks had the peculiar effect of driving men of this era crazy… No… Actually, the men of the 21st century were no different from them either…

Prepare and enjoy your retirement… stop trying to predict it
Legal & General sponsored a discussion led by to promote Inspired Village's '101 ways to enjoy getting older' campaign, with Durrant retirement village being the venue of choice to discuss how to make the most of your retirement.
Many of those who are in retirement today are very much accustomed to the 'cradle-to-grave' welfare state that was formed after the war in the late 1940s – but much has changed since then. Today, people are living longer and their needs have changed, with concerns brewing on the ideal amount you need in a pension pot and how it can be topped up. It was a great way to openly discuss retirement plans and how residents 'enjoy' getting older.
"How can you prepare for the unknown? The reality of retirement can be quite daunting"
If you were to look up the word 'retirement', the image often portrayed is of couples in linen clothing, walking hand in hand on sandy beaches at sunset - yet we know that the reality is very different. Spending habits change over time as spending in early retirement (travelling, downsizing, etc.) slows down as worry creeps in about if there is enough in the pot to leave behind for loved ones.
People tend to save their income for today, an amount for 'just in case', and savings. This attitude doesn't need to change once in retirement – investments can be made in many ways that help top-up pension pots, for example, freeing money locked within property. When preparing for retirement, you might want to split your savings into four pots: Cruises/travelling, everyday spending, rainy-day savings and inheritance to leave behind. These could all be bolstered by investing into options such as stocks and shares portfolios.
"Finances are not too much of a worry for me. I'm active and in many ways and don't wish to 'retire' at all!"
The aspect of retirement has changed massively – some people want to do the things they perhaps couldn't earlier, others don't feel they can due to the cost of bills and yes, there are people that don't want to retire at all! By leading active lives - be it in a social capacity, part-time working or volunteering - we all want to live our later lives in the best way possible. By preparing for our retirement – whatever that may mean to the individual – we can inspire each other to embrace our latter years rather than dread them.
Villages like this [Durrant] create communities and socialisation that can help you hurdle emotional problems – not just financial ones. You can feel disconnected, be it physically from a loved one passing or an emotional disconnection from grandchildren due to their use of the latest technology. By preparing yourself and embracing the communities formed in villages like this can give you the inspiration to really make the most out of retirement. We are grateful for Legal & General money that helps fund villages like this – it's certainly the future for UK later living.
Gloria Hunniford, OBE

Let me start by describing a training scenario most of us have likely experienced. You register for a retail sales training class or seminar, paid good money, and your expectations are high. After sitting through the session, you're completely blown away by the experience. The facilitator captures your imagination and makes you feel like he/she is speaking directly to you even though there are 200 people in the room.
The training content is specific, relevant, and spot on. When it's over, you can't believe you just sat through a 5-hour training session. It felt more like an hour. You never once nodded off or wanted to check your text messages. In fact, you have 20 pages of copious notes because you were trying to capture every thought and sales step.
You leave the training session charged up and thinking...wow, that was a seminar!
Now, full disclosure, one of the things my company specializes in is retail sales training and motivational seminars. In fact, over the last nearly 20 years, it's really what has built our reputation even though we do so much more. Our training is unique (to say the least) and it leaves an impression with an audience. We consistently hear from clients, "no one connects with an audience the way you do." The best compliment we can ever receive (and it's happened often) is when we train or meet with a company's employees, and at the end of the session they can't believe we don't work for their company as in-house employees. That's when you know you've hit the mark!
Here's the thing...the success of our retail sales training programs never starts with the live performance! That's actually the last step. Here's why...
Our proprietary profit analysis process ARDIT Method™ delivers guaranteed financial return on investment (ROI) to major retailers and global manufacturers, such as:
How? ARDIT consists of five sequential steps that accelerate ROI and create long-term, sustainable impact. Bill Stuart, said, "It has been our experience that traditional consultants and their processes fall short because they are based on theoretical models instead of practical and tactical real-world application. And most importantly, traditional consultants do not guarantee financial return. We do. We take 100 percent of the risk out of each engagement by specifically documenting the ROI we will acheive for a client -- in the form of dollars and cents! We never provide clients with the hope that ROI will happen -- we guarantee it. Or, we refund 100 percent of our fee. That makes it pretty darn simple".

Why improve your diet?
If you are participating in regular CrossFit training you are no longer a common gym goer.
CrossFit training requires you to put your body through stress that most people avoid at all costs. We lift heavy, move quickly, and push our bodies hard to constantly improve and become stronger healthier people.
The fuel you put into your body before and after a training session will govern how well you perform and recover. It is during recovery that you make gains in your strength and the body repairs and regenerates for future sessions.
If you are serious about your results then it is time to take your nutrition more seriously.
If you are happy doing what you are doing and getting the results you currently obtain you may ignore this information. But small changes to your diet could help you reap massive gains in performance and long term health.
I know many people in our box alone could benefit from eating better and as your Coach i want to see everyone become the best they can be.
Today's blog is my take on healthy eating, how I eat and why i believe it works and what my goals are. Because if your actions do not support your goals then you will not be motivated to follow through on them.
Ill start by saying I am not a nutritionist or dietician, but having either of those qualifications does not mean you know what your talking about either! As most nutritionists and dieticians follow the "food pyramid" and are fat and sick themselves.
I can say for my part, that through smart training and eating this way I have not been sick for 4 years. Have not required any antibiotics or spent multiple days in bed. I am 34 and in better shape than 99% of people my age and 90% of people of any age I meet on the street. The people that I have trained who followed this way of eating have had by far the best results.
If you look at the diet of the fittest athletes on this planet (and you will find them qualified for the CrossFit games in 2014) there will be a trend amongst them. Paleo eating.
Paleo Eating 90%
After reading Rob Wolfs book "the paelo solution" and having trained with some of the best CrossFit athletes in this country over the years it became clear to me that eating natural foods fueled performace like no other diet.
Paleo eating was once summed up by Greg Classman (CrossFits founder and CEO) as
Eat meat fruits and vegetables nut and seeds, little starch and no sugar. Eat enough that support exercise but not body fat.
It is still today taught in CrossFit level 1 courses around the world.
This is the way I eat 90% of the time. I say 90% because it is the closest to the truth. being as I have no digestive issues with dairy I also add to that milk, yogurt and cheese.
Preparing each meal of the day is key. But is is so easy to make a meal that has protein, vegetables and nuts or seeds in a ratio using your hand as a guide.
Protein serve: Size of your hand including the fingers touching each other. Vegetables serve: an amount you can fit in one handful. Fat serve: A portion the size of your thumb.
I say Paleo 90% also because I do not deprive myself something to eat if I really want it. If I want spaghetti at an Italian restaurant for some reason I will have it and not feel bad about it because it is such a tiny % of the greater good i put into my body. I do not believe in "cheat meals" as that represents a scheduled time to eat those foods.
Why Paleo?
The list of benefits to eating whole natural foods is huge. Please check out http://eatdrinkpaleo.com.au/paleo-benefits/
But mostly you get all the vitamins minerals and macro nutrients you need in their rawest form without any added preservatives, sugar or chemicals.
When your body is receiving what it needs without all of the unnecessary waste products, the machine runs like it was meant to. You recover faster from workouts, sleep better and perform better in every aspect. Moods are regulated hormones become balanced, the list of improvements goes on and on.
Eating whole natural foods will make you drop body fat faster than any bullshit detox diet. Just cutting out bread and drinks with sugar will make huge changes in body composition.
Why I eat Paleo
I love training, love feeling strong and being able to do every task in my day with ease. I want to continue to be able to stay at this level into my 90s. Guess what? That is not a fantasy it is a possible reality. Its nearly 2014 and the knowledge we have now about eating natural foods is scientific fact. Continuing to practice functional movements and eat natural foods is the best action you can take to create a long life of activity and independence. It is not out of the question now with the knowledge we have that kids could live to be 120 years old if they eat properly and move fluidly into adult hood and later into life.
My goals are also performance related. I want to finish in the top 500 in the CrossFit open in Australias region in 2014, and at 34 it aint gonna happen eating meat pies and burgers!
Whether your goals are to get the best result possible in the CrossFit open in 8 weeks time or to feel better and imporve your current performances in the gym, eating whole foods is the way to go.

Employers face fines for failure to comply with pension law
The Hub News Team | 21.6.16
Employers who fail to heed 28-day warning notices risk a fine which increases each day, a report published by The Pensions Regulator (TPR) shows.
More than 95% of the first small employers required to put their staff into a workplace pension have now complied with the law, showing that automatic enrolment is successful for all sizes of employer.
While compliance rates remain high, TPR's latest quarterly compliance and enforcement bulletin shows that the number of Escalating Penalty Notices it issues is on the rise.
An Escalating Penalty Notice (EPN) is one of the statutory powers TPR has to help maximise employer compliance with automatic enrolment duties. It specifies the date by which the employer must comply with certain actions or be subject to a fine which builds up at a daily rate.
The fine for small employers with 1 to 4 staff who fail to comply with an EPN is £50 per day and for those with 5 to 49 it is £500 per day.
Minister for Pensions, Baroness Ros Altmann, said: "Automatic enrolment is delivering fundamental change to workplace pension saving. So far over 100,000 employers have enrolled over 6 million workers. Levels of compliance amongst employers has been consistently high and I am pleased with all the steps The Pensions Regulator has put in place to support the huge number of smaller employers who have recently begun to undertake their duties.
Charles Counsell, Executive Director for automatic enrolment, said: "Most employers comply on time and we continue to see compliance rates in the high nineties. Others need a nudge and are prompted to meet their duties when one of our notices comes through their letterbox."

Dean Nathanson, Managing Director of CACI international, said: "We noticed a surge in enquiries for our product, specifically to combat lines around the neck area.
"We've identified a correlation between the rise of technology in recent years and the growth of the 'tech neck'.
"So whilst there is little chance of the nation giving up technology, at least we can help people reduce wrinkles and keep their chin up!"
Non-Surgical Face Lift
Loose Women panelist Carol McGiffin revealed in Closer magazine last year that the CACI non-surgical face life procedure was responsible for her new youthful look.
The handheld device strengthens the neck muscles and firms the jawline, so the 'tech neck' may only cause some worry wrinkles for a short time.

HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - Students who attend state colleges and universities will receive a credit for their unused room and board.
Mark Ojakian, president of the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, announced the credit on Wednesday.
"This is a complex process, but our universities are working to issue credits and refunds as expeditiously as possible," Ojakian said. "We understand that these housing refunds are important monetary sources for our students as they begin to adjust to a new normal of online learning. I applaud the leaders of our universities for taking this important action."
Schools within the CSCU shifted the spring semester to online in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

When this ole mortal body grows weary
and my mind is stressed with worries
I look to Jesus my brother for comfort
as He died for me on the cross.
When burdens weigh me down
and soon I feel my spirit drown.
I look to Jesus my brother for strength
as He bore my burdens on the cross.
When I am deep in my darkest hours
I search and cling to the life of bower.
I look to Jesus for my guiding light,
He alone shines through a dark night.
Then my cares and worries subside
Knowing my Lord is by my side.
I look to Jesus my brother for peace,
He will surely meet my every need.
He knew me while I was still in the womb
and He is the Healer of my wounds.
I humbly bow and seek His presence,
only in Him can I find a life worth living.

Performance analysis of mobile data offloading in heterogeneous networks
IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, Vol. 16, N°2, February 2017
An unprecedented increase in the mobile data traffic volume has been recently reported due to the extensive use of smartphones, tablets and laptops. This is a major concern for mobile network operators, who are forced to often operate very close to (or even beyond) their capacity limits. Recently, different solutions have been proposed to overcome this problem. The deployment of additional infrastructure, the use of more advanced technologies (LTE), or offloading some traffic through Femtocells and WiFi are some of the solutions. Out of these, WiFi presents some key advantages such as its already widespread deployment and low cost. While benefits to operators have already been documented, it is less clear how much and under what conditions the user gains as well. Additionally, the increasingly heterogeneous deployment of cellular networks (partial 4G coverage, small cells, etc.) further complicates the picture regarding both operator- and user-related performance of data offloading. To this end, in this paper we propose a queueing analytic model that can be used to understand the performance improvements achievable by WiFi-based data offloading, as a function of WiFi availability and performance, user mobility and traffic load, and the coverage ratio and respective rates of different cellular technologies available.We validate our theory against simulations for realistic scenarios and parameters, and provide some initial insights as to the offloading gains expected in practice.

Last week, the Nigerian military used President Donald Trump's words to justify shooting Nigerian protestors armed with rocks. After firing on the Islamic protestors, the army received criticism from human rights organizations like Amnesty International, and in response, the army released a video on Twitter of Trump saying that throwing rocks is comparable to being armed with guns. Afterwards, John Agim, spokesperson for the Nigerian military made an official statement saying that, "We released that video [of the rock comment] to say if President Trump can say that rocks are as good as a rifle, who is Amnesty International?"
These comments may seem bizarre to some Americans, but the admiration some Nigerians hold for Trump's rhetoric is alarmingly high; his hateful message is being absorbed by the people of Nigeria, and because of that, his casual words can hold a lot of weight — enough weight to send bullets flying. These are effects that Americans should be more aware of, as they debate the merits of Trump's politically incorrect, incendiary platform.
Without viewing it yourself, it can be hard to recognize the extent to which some people in Nigeria believe in the American ideal. I can picture long talks in rural Nigeria with cousins who knew every American reference I made instantly. I can remember being nervous to speak in public because people would eagerly flip their heads around, strangers sometimes even running up to me just to ask if I was American. At times in Nigeria, excitement, respect and admiration were given to me because of nothing more than the fact I was an American citizen. I can't imagine the adoration heaped on the president by these same people, but this shooting has given us some inclination.
Trump is very popular among many Nigerians. Polling shows that 58 percent of Nigerians believe that "President Trump would do the right thing in world affairs." Fifty-five percent believe Trump is someone who "cares about ordinary people," the highest out of any of the countries in the survey.
There's debate about why this is the case. Some speculate that Nigeria, a country that only had its first democratic transition of power during 2015, enjoys forceful leaders. In fact, current President Muhammadu Buhari previously maintained power in a military coup in 1983, but was still welcomed back and elected president in 2015.
For people who support Trump, or even those who hate Trump but support his commitment to politically incorrect speech meant to cause controversy, I urge you to reflect on the ramifications of his actions that may be harder to see. We can't just consider actions in a vacuum, or through a singularly American lens. The reason Trump's failure to condemn dictators or verbally recognize human rights abuses is so troubling is not just because of some abstract idea of what's right or wrong. It is because leaders in Nigeria's newer, more rocky democracy are watching intently, waiting to take to their cue.
As a Nigerian-American, I am constantly worrying about the effect of Trump on both of the countries I call home. Nigeria, a new democracy, has a lot of potential, and the world should be investing in its success. Incidents like this recent shooting have shown us that something as small as an off-hand comment from a U.S. president can have major repercussions in Nigeria. Now it is just a matter of whether Americans choose to keep that information in mind next time they are at the ballot box.

From time to time it is liberating to know that no Spanish readers will pick up on this column because it has never appeared in their language. This is one of those few occasions, as there are certain themes that yours truly cannot always take on board for fear of upsetting his Spanish colleagues.
For example, when you read these lines we will be three days away from the biggest wine event ever held in Malaga. A two-day marathon, sponsored by this same media group, it has no rival in Andalucía, and although organised primarily for professionals, the interpretation of the term is wide; (SurWines 25-26 March, El Portico de Velázquez. Ask for an invitation on the website).
There are several ways of going about a massive wine-tasting like this. The amateur way is to treat it as a freebie session, and glug down whatever comes to hand. Better to head straight to the stands where there is not a familiar bottle in sight. The majority of our Spanish friends visiting this class of exhibition will be more interested in checking to see if their old Rioja and Ribera del Duero favourites are still the same as they were the week previously, which can be translated as meaning they have almost zero interest in anything innovative or unfamiliar.
It has always been said that drinkers in non-wine producing countries are more adventurous, as they have fewer prejudices and preconceived ideas, an opinion I subscribe to wholeheartedly. To describe your average Spanish wine-lover as conservative would be over-egging it. One bibulous acquaintance told me that after a lifetime of being faithful to the Muga bodega, he has recently changed his allegiance to another great Rioja producer, Remirez de Ganuza. For him, as he described it, it had been one of the most important emotional decisions of his life - and the truth is that it probably was. Give me the Anglo-Saxon or north European aficionado any time, prejudice-free and ready to try anything.

What to expect on your first visit at Insight Naturopathic Clinic
Initial consults with patients are two hours in length. This is to ensure that there is sufficient time to complete a thorough medical history intake; review imaging reports, consult notes and lab tests; discuss and clarify any questions you may have regarding your conventional treatment; and perform a relevant physical examination and order any additional lab tests.
There will then be a discussion about what naturopathic treatment options are available to you in order to address your goals and objectives for the visit. This typically involves a discussion regarding:
- Specific dietary recommendations.
- Nutritional and/or supplemental prescriptions: vitamins, minerals, nutrients and other compounds.
- Botanical/Herbal medicines.
- Injection therapies: intravenous Vitamin C, glutathione, mistletoe therapy and others.
- Communication and referrals to other medical professionals, as required.
At the end of the visit you will be provided with a comprehensive treatment plan that includes several of the therapies mentioned above. A follow-up consult is then arranged as required for your individual case.
Naturopathic Doctors may receive additional training in cancer care support by receiving their Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO) designation from the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (https://oncanp.org). Insight Naturopathic Clinic is proud to have two Naturopathic Doctors with this designation, Dr. Mark Fontes, ND and Dr. Jill Shainhouse, ND.

Hammer toes result from a muscular imbalance or overly tight tendons which make the toe turn downwards into a hooked position. Most commonly it is found in the toe beside the big toe as a result of bunions where the big toe has turned under the toe beside it. Hammer toes however can be found on all the toes from the 2nd to the 5th. Hammer toes can be very painful and the pain usually increases when walking. Painful corns may also develop on the toes as a result of hammer toes. Other conditions that cause hammer toes are high foot arches, flat feet and very long 2nd toes (toe beside the big toe).

Once again, the state – which injected itself into the void left when it destroyed religion in the UK – has demanded absolute allegiance and control over children. This ruling in the UK Supreme Court (which is a rip off of the harlot of New Babylon – the United States) re-asserts that the state is deity and it demand homage amounting to worship in the same way that the Catholic Church did in the past if people took mass lightly.
It is for this reason that I say to people again: do not send your children into the pagan school system. You must either educate them at home or create small networks where families come together and take on this task. You are the ones responsible for this obligation for your children. If you do not do so, you cannot complain when the state makes your children informants and worshippers that tell on you. Please see the article below:
Term-Time Holidays: Jon Platt Found Guilty Of Taking Daughter On 'Unauthorised Trip' To Disney World
Jon Platt has been found guilty of taking his daughter out of school on an "unauthorised trip" during term time.
According to PA, Platt was found guilty at Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on Friday 23 June 2017.
The dad, 44, from Isle of Wight, had previously been fined £120 for taking his seven-year-old daughter on a holiday to Disney World in Florida in April 2015.
In May 2016, Platt won his appeal against the £120 fine in a High Court ruling, however, the Isle of Wight council asked Supreme Court justices to overturn the decision.
In April 2017, Platt lost the Supreme Court battle over taking his daughter on holiday during term time.
The Supreme Court justices considered whether or not Platt committed an offence by failing to ensure his daughter "attended school regularly", as required by section 444(1) of the 1996 Education Act.
They ruled that "regular attendance" had to be keeping with rules of the school.
After the Supreme Court made their ruling, the case was returned to the magistrates' court in the Isle of Wight.
The landmark decision is likely to affect millions of parents' decisions about taking their children out of school to go on holiday.
It is hoped the Supreme Court will also provide some clarity on how much school can be missed before parents are prosecuted.
A Department for Education spokesperson previously told The Huffington Post UK: "The evidence is clear that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil's chance of gaining good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances.
"We are confident our policy to reduce school absence is clear and correct.
"We are clear that children's attendance at school is non-negotiable so we will now look to change the legislation. We also plan to strengthen statutory guidance to schools and local authorities."

SLS Takes Over For Morgans at Baha Mar
Hotel & Resort Brian Major June 05, 2014
Luxury hotel operator SLS Hotels will replace Morgans Hotel Group as the operator of a 300-room hotel at the $3.5 billion Baha Mar resort in Nassau, Bahamas. SLS announced a 20-year management agreement with Baha Mar officials this week to operate the "luxury lifestyle hotel" which will include 107 residences.
Morgans had originally agreed to operate a 300-room Mondrian hotel at the Nassau mega-resort, scheduled to open in December. A Morgan's spokesperson said the company notified Baha Mar officials in March they would terminate the Mondrian management agreement effective April 25, 2014 due to the Baha Mar owners' failure to obtain a non-disruption agreement from its lender, as required by the management agreement.
Morgans officials had requested Baha Mar officials delay the hotel's opening date from December to April, according to Bahamas news reports.
SLS Hotels is a luxury resort company operated by sbe, a global hospitality company operated by Sam Nazarian, the company's chairman and CEO. "Sam Nazarian's ability to be ahead of market trends has differentiated his eclectic hotels, nightlife, restaurants and cutting-edge design and will bring a truly unique experience to Baha Mar guests," said Sarkis D. Izmirlian, Baha Mar's chairman and CEO in a statement. "The company's experience in creating, selling and managing luxury real estate properties will bring additional value to the SLS Residences at Baha Mar."
The Baha Mar development will also include a 200-room resort from Rosewood; a 700-room Grand Hyatt hotel and the Baha Mar Casino & Hotel, the resort's anchor property.

Of the 20 largest California wildfires since 1932, the largest have occurred since 2000 – the catastrophic consequence of leftist environmental policies.
CA Gov. Jerry Brown Vetoed 2016 Wildfire Management Bill
Last year, as California residents were burned out of their towns, homes, neighborhoods, schols, hospitals and businesses, Gov. Jerry Brown was jetting around the world spouting climate change propaganda, and calling the fires California's "new normal." Gov. Brown had many chances to sincerely and realistically address California's increasing wildfires since his election in 2011, but instead chose to play politics, placing his new friends at the United Nations over the people of California.
Brown has his out – "climate change", the biggest hoax ever. California voted for him.
From a long time GR reader who works in the field,
42 dead now, 200 missing. Friend related how a friend escaped in a car. As they were forging ahead he saw people in his rear view mirror in a traffic jam behind him get out of their cars to try to run for it, but instead they burst into flames. 117,000 acres and growing. The fire is moving into the higher elevations and the evergreen trees. It jumped the Oroville Reservoir.
1. Under Clinton, US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service rejected Russian offers to sell us their jet powered, 4 engined, "Monsoon" water bombers. Biggest in the world. They use them on forest fires. Can drop a mile long water wall. Fast, jet powered and quick turn-arounds on reloads and time to target. ,
Rejected due to concerns about too much water being dropped might cause erosion issues. Not invented here.
2. Under Clinton, US Dept. of Ag., Forest Service, banned the use of dozers larger than D-6s. Dozers go up to D-11 in size. The big ones are more than twice the size of the D-6s. Very wide blades.
Rejected due to concerns about erosion due to weight and track widths. Ruts. Can't get between trees. However, they can flatten lots of trees, and are great on ridge top lines.
To save erosion and a few trees many more trees burned up, and then there is lots of erosion from the much wider burn area.
When I was a kid and into my 20's there were saw mills in every Sierran town. There were clear cuts, selective cuts and logging roads everywhere but no massive fires. Today there are no saw mills at all.
3. Up by the Snow Mt. Wilderness Fire a buddy told me he has a friend with a ranch of 700 acres next to the Wilderness area. During the fire the dozers came to the ranch and cut a fire break along his property boundary. However, by law, they were not allowed to enter the Wilderness Area to cut fire breaks. So they watched 250,000 acres burn up. The fire totaled 400,000 acres, killed 44. No, you won't find this in the media, I mean, propaganda organs. But true story. Hell, I could drive you up there and show it to you. No Lie GI.
Madness, madness, and pure unadulterated hatred of mankind.
When a human ignites on exiting a car, well, that's what I call human warming. God has a wicked sense of humor.
Spoke to a friend yesterday. He was working on erosion control on the Redding Fire. He told me what they do will make little difference in erosion once the winter storms come pouring down. A lot of money, little good done. Good photo ops for the polis and bureaucrats.

AAOG in Djeno discovery, offshore Congo
Anglo African Oil & Gas plc, an independent oil and gas developer, has informed that TLP-103C well at its Tilapia licence in the Republic of the Congo has intersected the targeted Djeno horizon and that hydrocarbons were encountered.
The Tilapia field is located 1.8 kilometers offshore of the Republic of the Congo, located in the Lower Republic of the Congo Basin. It is drilled from an onshore location and has production and storage facilities onshore. It is a 45-minute drive from Point Noire and 17km from the nearest refinery.
AAOG said on Tuesday that wireline logging confirmed the presence of a 12-meter oil column in the Djeno proving a functioning reservoir in this formation in the Tilapia permit area. This discovery brings the combined total of oil encountered by the Well to an aggregate of 56 meters across the identified horizons.
"TD of 2,683 meters was reached at 10h00 on Saturday 26 January and over the course of the weekend the Company ran Schlumberger wireline logs. Having completed logging the Company commissioned a CPI to calculate and qualify the results. This CPI was completed by Schlumberger on Tuesday 29 January. The results of the CPI confirm TLP-103C has encountered a 12 metre oil column with a further 4-meter transition zone from 2,396m to 2,411m in a dolomitic interval with a high content of shale. The interval is of Neocomien age," AAOG said.
AAOG further said there were several smaller potentially oil-bearing intervals which have been difficult to precisely identify due to a mud build up on the calliper. The data gathered from the Well will, subject to funding, enable the Company to optimise the location of planned well TLP-104 in order to produce from the Djeno reservoir at optimal levels.
"The Company is confident that there is also a further Djeno reservoir below the current drilled depth which is prognozed to be in sandstone. The Company intends to test this secondary reservoir target with well TLP-104 along with the Vandji formation. Due to poor performance of the rig throughout the Well, the Company has decided for safety reasons not to attempt to drill further with this equipment. Accordingly, the Company intends to commission a new rig to drill TLP-104," AAOG added.
Topside upgrade needed to produce from Djeno
AAOG has said it has received technical advice that it should upgrade the topside facilities before attempting to produce from the Djeno.
"Moreover, the results of this well allow the Company to enhance the well design of TLP-104 as it seeks to optimize production from the Djeno. Accordingly, the Company will now plug back TLP-103C to the Mengo and then flow test and produce from the Mengo reservoir and seek to co-mingle with the R2 reservoir in order to enhance and optimize production of this Well at high rates. During this time the Company intends to upgrade the existing topside facilities and look at options of direct pipelines to the Coraf/export terminal in Pointe Noire," AAOG added.
"The 12-metre oil column in the Djeno brings the total aggregate payzones encountered by the Well and confirmed by wireline logging to 56 metres across all targeted horizons, including a 26 metre oil column in the Mengo; an aggregate 13 metres of oil columns across the new horizons identified between the R3 and the Mengo; and a five metre oil column identified in the R2 reservoir (see announcement of 7 January 2019 for further details)," AAOG said.
"With the end of the Well, the Director General (Hydrocarbons) of the Republic of the Congo has written to the Company with a letter of intent confirming the intention of the Government to award the Company with a new license over the Tilapia field which will extend to 2042. The Government has a team currently working in AAOG's Pointe Noire office to complete formalities before looking to conclude negotiations over the terms of this new license," the company said on Tuesday.
To have encountered hydrocarbons in the Djeno at the first attempt is an excellent outcome and is testament to the quality of the geological model we put in place for Tilapia ahead of commencing drilling operations..
David Sefton, Executive Chairman of AAOG, said, "To have encountered hydrocarbons in the Djeno at the first attempt is an excellent outcome and is testament to the quality of the geological model we put in place for Tilapia ahead of commencing drilling operations. While this Well will produce from the Mengo and R2 rather than the Djeno, we have now encountered oil in all the targeted horizons, with a total combined oil of at least 56 meters, including a combined 44 meters of oil in both the Mengo and R2 and across discovered additional reservoirs. We now plan to bring TLP-103C into production, and thereby increase production and cashflow at Tilapia such that this asset will become cash generative in the very near future.
Following that, the Company intends to source a new rig and drill a new well, TLP-104, which will specifically target bringing the Djeno into production, as well as testing the deeper potential reservoirs in the Djeno and the Vandji.
Encouraged by indications from the government around the licence, the Company now intends to plan for a full field development at Tilapia.
We continue to be very grateful for the support of our shareholders and are pleased to have been able to bring this well to a conclusion with success in each targeted horizon."

How should the air to water heat pump unit be sited to ensure the airflow and access it needs?
What is important is to ensure there is sufficient space for airflow into the unit and enough clearance at the front of the heat pump to stop cold air re-circulation.
You will also need to ensure that there is adequate space for access for service and maintenance.
You should try to ensure that the unit is sheltered from high winds as this will improve the unit is efficiency level by lowering the fan power requirement.

SCORES of mourners lined the towpath of the Grand Union Canal to pay their last respects to a man who devoted his life to narrow boats.
Family and friends turned out in freezing weather yesterday to watch John Forth's body start its final journey a mile upstream from the mooring he called home, in Long Itchington, near Southam.
The 59-year-old, described by many as one of the waterways' "great characters", spent much of his working life delivering sacks of coal to boats and villages up and down the canal during the tough winter months.
To mark his deep association with the water, his coffin was carried on to the 70ft long narrow boat home he shared with his wife, Madeleine, outside the Two Boats Inn, by Southam Road.
It was then slowly floated a short distance to the Blue Lias pub, Stockton, where John's old coal truck, decked out in flowers, was waiting to transport him to the crematorium in Banbury.
The unusual cortege, which involved more than 100 people, was described by those who took part as both "poignant" and "uplifting".
Chris Deuchar, who was responsible for steering the boat down the canal, had boated from Derbyshire to attend the funeral with his wife, Jan. The couple had known John for 26 years.
Jan said: "John was still delivering coal over the winter.
"He was one of the few remaining commercial boatmen on the system. It was always his and Madeleine's dream to do that - and they lived the dream.
"John said he wouldn't have changed a thing about his life. He was a man who lived with no regrets.
"He had a huge personality and was one of the biggest yarn spinners I've ever met.
"He was very knowledgeable and had great technical skills. He could turn his hand to almost anything.
"He was very rarely ill, and very rarely had a day off work, because if there was no coal, there was no income."
Always busy, John, who was originally from Lincolnshire, was in the process of designing a motorised trike before he was taken ill at Christmas with a viral infection, which led to prolonged illness.
He was also planning to fit out another coal boat for when he retired with Madeleine, whom he had met on a blind date when they were in their late teens.
Friend and narrow boat neighbour Richard Williams was among the mourners. The 68-year-old said: "It's a really nice gesture for a genuinely nice, hard-working man. He was well-known and very well-liked.
"When his big shed burned down recently everybody contributed towards him rebuilding it. It was the least we could do for one of the waterways' great characters."
