This is not a drill: OFB's Academy gig is cancelled
13 December, 2019 — By Samantha Booth
A DRILL gig was cancelled in Islington this week after a police warning.
Bandokay and Double LZ, members of the OFB collective, were due to play a gig at the O2 Academy Islington, in Angel, on Wednesday.
The Met Police said: "Following intelligence received around potential for serious violence, police advice was given to the O2 Academy Islington in relation to a concert due to take place on the evening of Wednesday, 11 December."
The venue took the decision to cancel the event, the Met said.
A Section 60 order – a controversial measure enabling officers to stop and search without need for suspicion – was authorised across parts of Camden and Islington until Thursday morning.
The Tribune understands this was because police have received information "a large number of gang members would be attending the event". No arrests were made and no one was injured.
The act was described on the venue's website as "London's fastest-rising drill artists" with the event being "career-defining".
Bandokay, real name Kemani, is the son of Mark Duggan, who was shot dead by police in 2011 triggering riots.
In an interview with the Guardian this year, OFB talked about how there was no help for them around where they grew up, and that music was the only way to making a living.
Bandokay said: "We're switching it up, doing clean music and trying to get to the better side of everything."
The Tribune contacted OFB's booking agents and other routes of contact but had not received a response by the time of going to print.
The Academy did not want to add to the Met's statement.

Getting practical
Should You build pc – Your Own Computer?
Building your own computer may seem like a fanciful idea indeed, especially if you have not decided whether to buy a computer that comes prepackaged.
However, the option of building a computer, once the territory of hard-core build pc techies, is now a possibility for mainstream consumers.
Some people like the idea of the adventure, and they also like the cost savings.
What skills do you need?
And what equipment?
Surprisingly, very little of either. You will not need to do anything as dramatic as welding.
In truth, your task is really to acquire and then assemble the various components, screwing and snapping them into place, rather like an electronic logo set.
Let us begin with the shopping list.
You will need the following
Motherboard, Microprocessor RAM Case with power supply Diskette drive Hard drive Video card Monitor Keyboard Mouse.
You will likely also want a modem, CD ROM drive, sound card, and speakers.
Now the question becomes which type?
A visit to your local electronics store can be a high-tech reconnaissance mission, in which you can gather information from both sales people and fellow customers.
Be sure to check the store's return policy; you should be able to return any component unconditionally within a certain time frame.
If reduced personal service is an acceptable trade-off for lower costs, you may prefer to buy from a mail-order house; check the advertising section of any major computer magazine.
In my experience, I have attempted building computers purchasing from both, and have found today's wonderful Internet the easiest source to gather information.
Detailed instructions, which you should read carefully, normally accompany each hardware item.
You can get further advice from magazines, perhaps a local computer club, and the Internet.
We mentioned cost savings, but, most of the savings are not up front.
The total component cost may not be significantly less than what you would pay for a fully assembled computer.
Depending on what you decide to purchase. The real savings on building pc come in the future – when you are able to upgrade your computer on your own, adding more memory, a new microprocessor, a new hard drive, or whatever. This can save you from buying a new computer for many years.
Building a computer can be a satisfying build pc experience, but it is not for everyone.
Generally speaking, if you have any doubts, get someone in the It industry, or someone knowledgeable in computing to help you out.

text: Home September 2019 How to Stay Healthy When You Fly September 2019 How to Stay Healthy When You Fly How to Stay Healthy When You FlyBrooke Porter Katz/Illustrations by Libby Vanderploeg Expert tips for your healthiest, happiest long-haul yet. While the top first-class aircraft cabins can make long-hauls an exciting part of travel – we're looking at you, Etihad First Apartments and Singapore Airlines Suites – on most flights, even the cushiest business-class seat can be a challenge after a few hours. To make your next extended flight more enjoyable, we reached out to a pilot, a nutritionist, a health-retreat honcho, and Virtuoso travel advisors for their tricks to stay healthy and happy in the air. Eat Smart Everyone knows that eating homemade food is healthier than grabbing take-out – and that's just as true when you're traveling. That's why Virtuoso agency owner Barbara Nichuals packs her own raw almonds, apples, and bananas. "The nuts have protein, and the apples have a lot of fiber to help keep you full," she says. "And bananas have two key nutrients – potassium and magnesium – which help prevent cramping, as well as natural muscle relaxants that can promote sleep." Nicole Avena, PhD, a visiting professor of health psychology at Princeton University, swears by Munk Pack Protein Cookies, which have no sugar alcohols, gluten, soy, or dairy. "It's a nutritious alternative to a granola bar," she says. "I was stuck on a delayed plane with no food recently, and the cookie saved my life!" Whatever you do, try to avoid sugar as much as possible. "The sugar crash will make you crave something later," Avena says. Canyon Ranch CEO Susan E. Docherty prefers Lärabars for her weekly flights, favoring the Apple Pie, Cashew Cookie, and Cherry Pie flavors. "They're a blend of unsweetened fruits, nuts, and spices that don't cause sugar spikes," she says. In a promising trend, many airlines are now including healthier alternatives on their menus, such as snack packs with nuts, fruits, cheese, and whole-grain crackers. And some are going further: Singapore Airlines partnered with Canyon Ranch nutritionists to create its menu of healthy (and delicious) dishes, such as wild-caught-prawn ceviche, roasted beets with burrata, and seared organic chicken with zucchini ribbons and braised tomatoes, on long-haul routes to the U.S. Since it's harder to digest food when you're sedentary for hours on end, Captain David Morgan, an Air New Zealand chief pilot, eats a small meal before takeoff and avoids anything rich or too heavy. "Once on board, I eat in moderation so I'm not having everything at once," he says. Keep that water coming, fliers. Photo by Marija Jovovic/Getty Images Stay Hydrated While cabin humidity has improved on new planes, flying is still dehydrating. According to the experts, the only acceptable in-flight drink is H2O. "I set a goal of having eight ounces of water for every hour I'm in the air," says Virtuoso travel advisor Jeff Audley. The real buzzkill: Avoid caffeine and alcohol. "Not only are those drinks stimulants, but they're also diuretics, so you're effectively enhancing dehydration in a very dry environment," says Morgan. Get Moving Morgan suggests walking up and down the aisle a few times every two to three hours. In between, practice a few unobtrusive, seat-based exercises to help increase circulation and prevent stiffness and deep-vein thrombosis. (Canyon Ranch even created a video for Singapore Airlines that leads passengers through a variety of exercises.) Examples include raising your shoulders up and down, stretching your torso, raising your knees to your chest, and doing ankle circles. Avena also does seated calf raises to prevent pins and needles. Pick the Right Plane Consider aircraft and ask your travel advisor to search for specific types – especially when it comes to long-hauls. "Newer planes have better cabin environments, including pressurization and humidity control, so you're more likely to feel fresh on arrival," says Audley, who flies on Airbus A380s or Boeing 787 Dreamliners when possible. "They also have better lighting that simulates natural sunlight." Tune Out Wear comfortable clothing (including warm socks), stow your phone, put on noise-canceling headphones or earplugs and an eye mask, and don't get sucked into the in-flight entertainment. "All of us lead such overstimulated lives, but if you take the stimuli away, close your eyes, and focus your body, you'll get to sleep more quickly," Docherty says. You can also try to re-create your at-home routine. For example, if you drink chamomile tea before bed, pack your own and ask for hot water. Nichuals is a fan of ginger tea: "It's very calming, helps with motion sickness, and is great for digestion," she says. Give Jet Lag a Rest Take it from Captain Morgan – jet lag is a reality, and while there's no true cure other than acclimating to the new time zone, there are ways to minimize its effects. Upon boarding, both Audley and Docherty set their watches to their arrival time zone. "When you land, even if your body is lagging behind a bit, at least your head is in the right place," Audley says. If it's nighttime in your final destination, close your eyes and try to sleep or relax – even if it means missing a meal. Sleeping on the flight has additional benefits as well: "If you're lethargic when you land, it can cause you to make poor food choices," says Avena. "And that can make you even more tired." This article originally appeared in the September 2019 issue of Virtuoso Life. Five Travel Products Our Experts Won't Fly Without"I wear compression socks on flights longer than five hours. They keep swelling down and help prevent deep-vein thrombosis." – Jeff Audley, Virtuoso travel advisor"Flying is the one time when no one can reach me and I can't do anything but be in the moment. My journal is perfect for jotting down thoughts." – Barbara Nichuals, Virtuoso travel agency owner "I bring Purell wipes to wipe down the tray, the inside and outside of my computer, and the arm-rest, so I have a clean place to work and eat." – Susan E. Docherty, Canyon Ranch CEO"Air New Zealand partnered with Allbirds to create a light and comfortable eye mask for business-class passengers, which you can also buy online. It's hollowed out inside, so it doesn't press against your eyes, but still blocks out light." – David Morgan, Air New Zealand chief pilot "Vitafusion's Power C gummies have more than the recommended daily amount of vitamin C and will help keep up your immunity defense." – Nicole Avena, PhD, nutrition expert

Cognizin® Citicoline, 250 mg
Citicoline is an organic compound produced in all living cells. A versatile nootropic for both brain health and cognitive enhancement, citicoline is suggested to:
- Support phospholipids used to build brain cells and optimize brain cell functions;
- Raise acetylcholine, supporting brain chemistry for learning, attention and memory;
- Optimize the powerplant mitochondria that produce energy for all brain cells;
- Support cerebral blood flow that supplies oxygen for brain energy metabolism;
- Stabilize brain cell membranes for healthy neural repair, regeneration and function.
Performance Lab® Mind Cognizin® is citicoline enhanced with next-generation nutrition technology – clinically shown to enhance brain energy, focus, attention, memory and brain health.
Cognizin® may boost brain cell membrane formation by 26%*and brain energy by 13.6%
Sharp-PS® Green(Soy-Free Phosphatidylserine), 100 mg
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid (healthy fat) present in nearly all cells. PS is most concentrated in the brain, where it helps cognition and long-range health in many ways:
Brain cell formation
Phosphatidylserine promotes Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and serves as a building block used in multiple phases of brain regeneration, including:
- Neurogenesis, the creation of fresh new brain cells;
- Plasticity, the formation of neural connections that underlies all new learning;
- Neural repair, ongoing maintenance and upkeep of brain cells.
Neural communication
PS optimizes brain cell membranes for peak performance, helping with signaling molecules, receptors and enzymes involved in neurotransmission. PS has been shown to:
- Regulate brain chemicals acetylcholine, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine;
- Detect damaged brain cells and signal the immune system to initiate their cleanup;
- Blunt stress-induced signaling that stimulates release of stress hormone cortisol.
Brain energy
PS supports brain energy levels; one human study linked PS supplementation to a 20.3% increase in basal ganglia/thalamus glucose metabolism.
PS bioactivities combine to provide powerful support for memory and performance-driven thinking. Researchers have linked PS supplementation to improvements in:
- Memory Storage
- Learning
- Problem Solving
- Concentration
- Quick Recall
- Mood Balance
- Focus/Attention
- Verbal Ability
Performance Lab® Mind Sharp-PS® Green is the most advanced phosphatidylserine form available.
Most PS is soy-based; Sharp-PS® Green is instead made from non-GMO sunflowers using a patented, eco-friendly process.
Performance Lab® Mind Phospholipid Stack Cognizin® + Sharp-PS® Green
Cognizin® and Sharp-PS® Green both increase brain phospholipids: Healthy fats that are used to form, repair and optimize brain cell membranes.
Together in Mind, Cognizin® + Sharp-PS® Green supply 2x support for the fluid, flexible brain cell membrane performance associated with memory, mood, learning and long-range brain health.
Ajipure® L-Tyrosine, 250 mg
During stress, intense thinking and multitasking, the brain burns quickly through brain chemicals called catecholamines: Dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Subsequent catecholamine depletion has been linked to stress-induced cognitive issues including brain fog, poor focus, short attention span and mental burnout.
Supplemental L-Tyrosine is suggested to help reverse these negative consequences by:
- Serving as a raw material for synthesis of performance-oriented brain chemicals;
- Stimulating the synthesis and release of epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine;
- Maintaining norepinephrine levels that are typically depleted by stress.
L-Tyrosine has been clinically shown to help mental processing, memory, and overall cognitive performance under stressful conditions including sleep deprivation, distraction and multitasking.
Performance Lab® Mind Ajipure® L-Tyrosine uses patented, eco-friendly Ferment-A-Pure technology to turn non-GMO and gluten free vegetable-derived carbohydrates into clean, bioavailable amino acids.
Maritime Pine Bark Extract (95% proanthocyanidins), 75 mg
Maritime Pine Bark Extract supplies a complex of antioxidant proanthocyanidins that help the brain by:
- Signaling for release of nitric oxide (NO), which relaxes blood vessels to support blood flow to the brain and optimal delivery of micronutrients, glucose and oxygen;
- Supplying antioxidants that cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, where they help neutralize free radicals' cell-damaging, age-accelerating effects;
- Optimizing brain plasticity and brain cell regeneration for long-range health
Performance Lab® Mind Maritime Pine Bark Extract is standardized to 95% antioxidant proanthocyanidins, making it the most potent nootropic pine bark extract available today.

Mind is designed to support peak mental performance, making it an ideal brain supplement for students, professionals, competitive individuals, and anyone seeking to gain a mental edge across performance-driven aspects of cognition like focus, attention, alertness, processing speed, memorization and new learning.
Take 1-2 capsules of Mind with your first meal of the day, preferably with a source of dietary fat such as Performance Lab® MCT or coconut oil to assist with absorption of Mind's phospholipid nutrients. For best results use daily and consistently.
Like all Performance Lab® supplements, Mind is designed to be safe for long-term daily use, without the need for cycling. Mind achieves this by using pure, potent ingredients that are dosed appropriately and in line with clinical research. Mind's clean formula design – free of GMOs, gluten, soy, colorants, preservatives and other additives – is also well-tolerated by the body, and safe for long-term use.
Mind is stimulant-free by design. Instead of caffeine, Mind supplies Cognizin® Citicoline, which promotes brain energy naturally; and Pine Bark Extract, which helps nourish the brain with oxygen and glucose that assists Cognizin® in promoting peak brain ATP energy. Mind is formulated to promote alertness like stimulants do, but without jitters, crashing, and other side effects that may be associated with stimulant use. If you prefer caffeine, Mind stacks seamlessly with Performance Lab® Stim.
Racetams are popular for supporting brainpower, but do not yet have enough well-designed research studies to be included in Performance Lab® formulas.
Mind features Cognizin® as our exclusive source of choline because it offers more versatility than other forms. Cognizin® works by raising levels of Phosphatidylcholine (PC), a phospholipid for healthy brain structure; and Uridine, a nootropic for learning, memory and mood – making it a "2-in-1" choline source that has inherent advantages over all other forms of choline.
NutriGenesis® is a Performance Lab® nutrition technology innovation: Vitamins, minerals and amino acids grown in live cultures at our state-of-the-art lab.
A true biological nutrient form, NutriGenesis® closely mirrors the molecular structure of food nutrients. NutriGenesis® nutrients offer significant advantages over standard nutrient forms.
Featured in several Performance Lab® formulas, NutriGenesis® vitamins, minerals and amino acids are bioengineered to be safe, active and highly effective for overall health and performance.
Vitamins, minerals and amino acids are the most important nutrients you need to build a strong foundation for health and performance.
Performance Lab® developed NutriGenesis® to have our own in-house vitamins, minerals and amino acids to use in our own nutritional supplements.
In producing NutriGenesis®, Performance Lab® can best maintain our industry-leading quality standards for cleanliness, purity, effectiveness and eco-friendliness, across all our ultramodern formulas.
Not all vitamins, minerals and amino acids are the same. There are many nutrient forms, produced with a variety of processes. Some of the most popular nutrient forms available in supplements today include:
Whole Food Concentrates
Whole food vitamin and mineral supplements are sourced from fruits, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms. They include natural cofactors that make food nutrients so easy for the body to absorb and utilize. However, they do require extensive processing and may be made with GMOs, mass agriculture and dirty eco-destructive practices.
Isolated Chemical (USP) Nutrients
Isolated Chemical (USP) is the cheapest vitamin and mineral form found in the most basic multivitamin supplements. This synthetic form chemically alters vitamins and minerals, isolating them from their whole-food cofactors. As a result, Isolated Chemical (USP) nutrients are typically harder to absorb and less effective than whole food nutrients.
Chelated Minerals
In this process, a mineral nutrient (such as iron, calcium, zinc) is bound with a chelator: An organic molecule (often an amino acid) that is large enough to enrobe the mineral. By surrounding the mineral, the chelator protects it against degradation. Chelated nutrients are highly stable and may improve nutrient uptake and utilization.
NutriGenesis® is different from traditional nutrient forms: Bioengineered to be better.
NutriGenesis® are cultured nutrients that replicate the creation of vitamins, minerals and aminos in nature.
NutriGenesis® is based on the work of Nobel Prize-winning physiologist Albert Szent Gyorgy, who theorized that nutrients presented in their naturally grown forms supply cofactors that make them more bioavailable, biologically active and effective than nutrients that are isolated.
In the NutriGenesis® process, single-cell organisms (Lactobacillus probiotics and brewer's yeast) are seeded with micronutrients in a hydroponic growth medium.
The live single-cell organisms "eat" the micronutrients, divide and thrive. As the cultures grow, they produce fresh new NutriGenesis® vitamins, minerals and aminos within a matrix of natural cofactors. This familiar structure is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body.More on the NutriGenesis® Process
NutriGenesis® advantages over other forms:
NutriGenesis® is essentially food nutrition. Mirroring food nutrients molecule-by-molecule, our vitamins, minerals and aminos are presented in pure elemental form. Maximum nutrition: Nothing more, nothing less.
Enhanced effectiveness. Because NutriGenesis® nutrients are in food-matrix form, they are recognized by the body as nature-identical -- maximizing nutrient uptake, bioavailability and beneficial activity.
Patented and researched. The patented process behind NutriGenesis® has been shown in research to enhance nutrient absorption and retention (when compared to chemical isolates).
Cleaner and safer. NutriGenesis® is produced in a sterile, tightly controlled lab setting. NutriGenesis® is minimally processed, requiring no pesticides, herbicides or other synthetics associated with some other whole-food nutrients.
Better for the planet: The NutriGenesis® process is clean and efficient, with little carbon footprint or environmental impact – especially when compared to factory farming for phytonutrients and strip mining for minerals.
It all begins with NutriGenesis® Multi for Men and Multi for Women: Performance Lab®'s multivitamin starting point for human performance optimization.
NutriGenesis® vitamins, minerals and amino acids are also found in Performance Lab® formulas Stim, Flex, BCAA, Pre, Post and Maintain.
Beyond Performance Lab®, NutriGenesis® B-Vitamins are found in Mind Lab Pro®: the Universal Nootropic™.

I looked over the statistics trying to get a feel for them. I had 56 max hp, 83 max mana, and I was 17% toward gaining my next level. My general sense was that I wasn't a very balanced character, that would make soloing rather hard so I would need to get a party. Assuming that things here worked like a video game, maybe I was the only person who worked like that. I would need to find somebody else to find out.
The next tab was jobs. I had two jobs it seemed. Hero and Elementalist and I was rank 1 in both of them. I concentrated on Elementalist and more windows popped up. That job apparently gave me the elemental magic skill and access to basic elemental spells at rank 1. I was also 9% of the way to ranking up the job. At least I assumed that was what it meant and that I was using the right terms.
Then I checked on Hero because that seemed important too. It listed the features of a rank 1 hero. Starting equipment, bonus starting stats and skills, and improved level up. The first one was self explanatory and the second just seemed like a justification for letting me know things when I first came here rather than having to spend a lot of time learning them. The first one however seemed more special.
I had started to get used to control the menu with my mind so I was able to bring up deals about what that talent meant. It read the follow, "A hero and their party members gain skill points upon leveling up which they can allocate to any skill they have access to."
There was a lot of implied context there. I mulled it over while switching over to look at my skills. I only had a few skills.
Melee Weapon: Staff — Rank 2 [25%]
Elemental Magic — Rank 7 [34%]
Mana Reserves — Rank 4 [9%]
Three lonely skills. All three of them had been granted to me by my Elementalist class. I had begun to formulate an idea about how Improved Level Up worked and if I was right then it was a dangerous talent to possess.
Sure enough when I switched over to my Talent tab the only item there was Improved Level Up. Abilities was equally predictable. I had three spells, Fireball, Iceshard, and Gust. Fireball was listed at costing 4 mana which was around how much I had estimate it would cost. It seems that abilities didn't have ranks like jobs and skills though.
I closed out of that menu and began looking at the next one. A party screen, currently only containing me. What a surprise. It didn't seem to have an associated friends list however.
The last item looks like a gear and indeed when I opened the menu it was a settings page. Mostly it seemed to contain gui options, convenient. I make sure to toggle showing my actual hp and mp total instead of just giving me a bar. There was even a log what I enabled which gave me useful information about the wolves the had attacked me.
For some reason "Show Enemy Status" was turned off. Clearly must have been an oversight to not have that on by default so I made sure it was on.
There was however no option to turn on a map and no other pages that I could find. A pity, maps were always helpful. Maybe I would have to buy a map before I got access to the ui that let me view it constantly, some games were like that. Although I wasn't certain if this even qualified.
I considered trying to call Iceshard and Gust but decided against it. With only 75 mp remaining it I ran into trouble I wanted to keep it all available. Once I got somewhere safe I figured I could try them out.
There wasn't any particular reason to head in any direction so I picked one and just started walking. It wasn't long before I started getting tired. My character sheet had marked my stamina as 11 only a little better than my strength. If I had to hazard a guess I would say that would be the equivalent to what I had back on, well Earth I guess. Things would be confusing if the people here also called their planet Earth.
It took me about two hours before I left the forest. During that time I was attacked by wolves and a bear. Was the wildlife in this world supposed to be this hostile. Normally it would seem normal but with everything being real it felt odd that animals attacked this much.
Now that I knew how to use my magic the battles were quite quick. With my options configured correctly I was able to tell that the wolves were level 3 and the bear was level 6. The encounters brought my level percent to 58% and also gave a little progress to the Elementalist job and Elemental Magic skill. Given the rate of the improvement I had to assume things slowed down at higher levels, it often did in games.
The bear had been a drain on my mp and I was left with only 39 mp remaining. I also learned that my mp restorted itself at 5 per hour or close enough. My character sheet said it was 6% of my maximum mp per hour which seemed rather slow.
But now I was free of the trees and hopefully violent wild animals. If fact my direction finding must have been lucky because up the hill that was in front of me I was what I could only assume was a road.
I pushed myself a little bit longer to bring myself to it. It was farther away then it has looked since it look me another hour to reach it. With that I found a nice spot near the edge of the road to sit down and take a break. I had been walking for quite a while now and needed one.
It looked like the sun was a quarter away from setting. What did that mean, like 3 hours of sunlight left? I would have spent more time outdoors if I knew that this was going to happen to me, probably. The next question was which way to travel. I scanned the horizon looking for what might be a town. Hopefully I was close to one and wouldn't have to camp outside alone.
Smoke, coming from what was probably the east. If there was smoke that probably meant a town, or a fire, hopefully the first one. After a few more minutes I stood up and began making the trek, if I could see the smoke that probably meant that I could get there tonight.
After an hour I realized that I had vastly overestimated my endurance. I must have used up what little I had making the walk through the forest and now I just felt fatigue in my inch of my body. Weren't humans supposed to be endurance predators, I remember hearing that somewhere.
My breaks became more and more frequent and I could only hope that I would reach the town in time.
When I was startled by a bay and creaking of wheels. I turned around to find a horse pulled wagon coming up alone the road behind me.
Horse, Level 2
However more interestingly was the driver of the cart.
Herbert Southmoor, Level 7, Merchant.
I could see other people's statuses too, how convenient.
As the cart neared me he slowed down and took a look at me. He scanned me up and down before finally looking a little bit above my head. So he could see my status too.
"Quite the walk you are trying to make. You seem to be having some trouble." He had a friendly, chatty voice.
I inwardly groaned, I never really got alone with friendly, chatty people.
I did my best smile before saying, "Yeah, my bad, I didn't realize how long it would take."
"Are you heading to Dungeonkeep to become an apprentice?"
I didn't know what he was really talking about but Dungeonkeep seemed like a good place to want to head. "Yeah, that is right."
"Level 5 is pretty low to want to do that, although since you looked like you can cast magic I'm sure somebody will accept you as an apprentice."
"That is what I have heard." Doing my best totally not lying voice, "Do you think you can give me a ride? I have some coin if you want."
He laughed a little, "Sure, hop on, although I'm only going to as far as Tortburg so you will have to find the rest of the route there by yourself. It will be two copper for the rest of the journey tonight and if you want the rest of the way it will be another two silver. Although you will need to provide your own food and lodging."
I gave him my best smile, "You really are a merchant" I reached into my satchel and pulled out a silver. "I spent all my copper so you'll have to take this. I have another silver once this one is done."
He took reached out and took the silver before moving one side of seat and motioning, "Welcome aboard."
I was thankful when I climbed up next to him. I was thankful but I did need to still keep my wits about me. He seemed nice but that didn't necessarily mean much, friendly looking people were the most tricksy and manipulative of people.
As the cart began to move he deciding to make some small talk. This was going to be troublesome wasn't it.
"You look rather young to want to be an adventurer."
I spoke the best excuse that I could think of, "My parents died."
"Ah, sorry." That kept him quiet for a while.
While truthfully my parents were still alive it was highly unlikely I would see them again, unless there was some way out of this world. I would probably start missing them once everything sunk in but currently everything still felt so, unusual, that everything hadn't quite hit me yet.
Finally he broke the ice once more, "And you don't have any other family?"
"A brother, however he is still an apprentice so he wouldn't have been able to support me."
He seemed a bit relived to find I wasn't completely orphaned.
"Still, life as an adventurer is rather dangerous. You might die and he would never see you again."
"Yeah, I know." I probably wouldn't see him again away ways so that was hardly a problem.
"You could have gotten married instead."
All I could do was make a disgusted face, me, marry? That was such a joke, besides, I was too young to marry. Although based off most fantasy stories I was probably old enough here.
He got my feelings, "All right, all right." He laughed a little trying to lighting the mood, "You youngsters always wanting to seek our your fortunes. Not that I can blame you, I probably would have done the same at your age if I had Status Magic then."
I did my best not to freeze. That was something extremely interesting. Status Magic, I could only assume he referred to the gui but the way he said it implied that he hadn't always had it. I wanted to ask more questions but I couldn't think of any good excuse to explain why I wouldn't know about it.
Then having at least some common sense the man changed topics to less dangerous conversion topics like the weather and the travel.
I did my best to nod when he spoke and responded in as little words as possible to avoid giving too much away about myself.
A couple of hours later when the sun was just beginning to set we reached the town. It was a small, at least to my eyes and had all of the trappings of a small fantasy town.

Check out this sneak peak at what Rock Band 3 will be like:
A real keyboard, more realistic drums and a guitar that is a real world guitar. This takes learning music to a whole new level. I am very excited to get this for my kids. Currently, only the drums are a close analog to a real world drum kit and it still has it's limitations. Rock Band 3 makes the cymbals on the drums different than the tom toms. The guitar solution they came up with is terrific and the fact you could use a special electric guitar that doubles as a real guitar is unbelievable. Having keyboards also makes the kids piano lessons all the more useful.
Clearly the kids are getting this for the holidays, if it is out in time. If all goes well, they will be famous in 10 years. Unfortunately, by then the music industry will collapse and there will be no money in music. Oh well, I guess there is no free lunch.

Shropshire detective Stuart is strong arm of the law
A truck-pulling police officer from Shropshire has won a national Strongman title after beating rivals from other forces.
West Mercia detective Stuart Edwards heaved stones weighing up to 150kg, carried a yoke and took part in axle lifting rounds to win the coveted championship UK's Strongest Police Officer event.
He took part in the open weight category of the contest organised by Police Sport UK two years after winning Shropshire's Strongest Man.
Stuart, who works for CID and also plays rugby in Bridgnorth said: "Following the first four events, three of us were tied for first place and as usual in Strongman, it all came down to the Atlas Stones, which means the fastest man to pick up and load the stones wins."
On the day more than £1,000 was raised for two charities – mental health charity Mind and the Police Dependants' Trust.
Tough route to the top
It is hard work being a strongman champion. Here are just some of the challenges faced by Detective Stuart Edwards:
- Overhead Press Medley: Lift each implement from the floor to overhead in sequence within 60 seconds -–90kg fixed 2ins axle bar, 100kg metal log, 110kg standard Olympic bar, lift 58kg circus dumbbell with one arm.
- Truck Pull: Pull a 10 tonne lorry 15m with a rope and harness within 90 seconds.
- Deadlift for reps: Lift a 250kg deadlift on a fixed 2ins axle bar head to head within 60 seconds.
- Yoke Carry into Farmers Walk: Carry a 300kg yoke 15m; then a 125kg in each hand farmers walk 15m within 60 seconds.
- Atlas Stones: Pick up five stones in ascending weight order 100kg, 110kg, 110kg, 130kg, 150kg and place over a 4ft yoke within 60 seconds.
Based with the Proactive CID team, Stuart has been a West Mercia police officer for more than 11 years and is working towards his detective's accreditation.
He first got into strongman contests in 2011 while working on patrol shifts in Oswestry after being invited to compete in a local charity strongman event at Oswestry Rugby Club.
"I had competed in a few local competitions and done quite well, but was injured on duty damaging both my shoulders while restraining a young man following a mental health breakdown. These injuries required two surgeries and nearly two years of recovery.
In 2017 I was able to return to competition level and won Shropshire's Strongest Man," he said. Following on from that taste of success he returned to his first sporting love, rugby and has represented the force during numerous Police Sport UK Inter-Constabulary Rugby Cup campaigns.
"Rugby has been a passion of mine since I was nine-years-old, I still play for Bridgnorth Rugby Club and represent the club up to first team level, and I also play at county level for Shropshire."
At the beginning of the year Stuart was encouraged by his former supervisors Insp Tracy Ryan and Insp Charlie Parker to take part and he had 16 weeks to prepare.
Stuart said: "Strongman is brutal and the risk of injury is extremely high due to the extreme pressure the body is put through. This meant 50 training sessions lasting up to three hours per session and over the 16 weeks it meant I had to consume nearly 500,000 calories."

The government of China on Thursday donated anti-malarial drugs worth 5 million dollars to the Ministry of Health.
According to the World Health Organization, malaria is the number 1 killer disease in South Sudan.
The ministry of health officials recently said 4,000 people died of the disease in 2017 alone and nearly 1 million cases were recorded across the country.
The Chinese government also announced a 1.5 Million dollar cash donation offered to the ministry of health yesterday in Juba.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Chinese ambassador to South Sudan – He Xiandong – explained how the donations will help the country:
"The cash and the drugs will be used to strengthen their ability to prevent epidemic disease especially malaria and Rift valley fever."
For his part, the undersecretary in the Ministry of Health, Dr Makur Koriom, said this can help the country respond to some of the epidemics that are threatening the country.
"There is a threat of Ebola and our risk is relatively higher than any other country that neighbors Congo… And last year and up to this point we have an ongoing outbreak of Rift Valley fever in eastern parts of eastern Lakes states which has already claimed nearly ten victims and over sixty patients."

What are the credit factors in getting a loan
In mathematics, the term is widely used and in daily use we hear again and again of certain factors that can play a role in various ways. Factors are usually multiplied together or put together to give a great end result. The term "factors" is often used casually and more colloquially. If, for example, we talk about the terms and conditions of mortgage lending, several factors are important, which ultimately determine the conditions. Finally, the term is comparable to criteria that have to be fulfilled in order to be suitable for a certain thing or to be able to do something. Different factors influence the creditworthiness of a customer.
Factors for achieving results
If you want to get a certain result, you have to combine several factors. The factors are based on the conditions of the bank, as far as lending is concerned. One factor, finally, to decide on the award of a loan, for example, in the income of the customer (see credit check). Here, the factors minimum income, permanent position or debtor directory must be disclosed. Security factors also play a role, with securities, savings accounts or senior mortgages playing a major role.
Of course, the factor credit bureau information is queried in most cases. The credit criteria are even a very important factor, especially to check whether the customer has yet to deal with the repayment of existing debts. Finally, the equity factor can decide whether and to what extent a loan is granted.
These and many other factors are needed for a decision by the bank to make sure to get the loan plus interest back. Thus, the factor of age, marital status or the type of employment also plays a role. A distinction can still be made between negative and positive factors. For example, self-employment for banks would be a negative factor in terms of security.

text: Liam molted early this morning and it's been exactly 10 days since he last molted. The others will follow suit closely tomorrow. 😀 Hopefully they'll all be ok and will all get through it though. Molting is an extremely stressful and hard part of their lives and not all of them reach maturity because most of them die when they molt. It's a sad time and I usually stay up with them when they molt to make sure they don't land on their backs and can easily move around. My first praying mantis (Jumper) molted for the last time and landed on her back so her wings dried wrong and she could never fly while it also shortened her lifespan. 😦 However, I'm here to think positively and I'm sure all five will do just fine. 😀

Introduction Teachable Logo Size
Earning money with hobbies like gardening, writing, Fitness, and art are not in the cards. You gather a professional online course to teach people all about it, unless of course. This Teachable review summarizes one of the more impressive options for developing a website that is gorgeous for presenting your courses, from video courses to PDF training. Teachable Logo Size

What's Teachable?
For those who are Knowledgeable about this stage, Teachable is an online course platform or Learning Management System (LMS). Why do you need one of these? Since they simplify the course development and launch process worry about the design and engineering aspects. Yep, no need to stress over using WordPress and plugins for your classes.
I will not go on and on. I'll only say this: there are A few LMS platforms I urge for online entrepreneurs, and Teachable is one of these. Here's my breakdown:
Which Teachable Features Stand Out?
Taking a look at the user layouts, it's Evident that Teachable is doing something right. Along with that, the pricing appears solid. What are some of the main features you can look forward to?
Teachable's Drop and Drag Builder
Drop and drag builders are getting better and And if you examine the user layouts from Teachable it's clear they have done a fantastic job in that area. Not every Teachable user has lots of knowledge in web development, and that is kind of the point.
Classes can move around, arrange pricing Packs, shed text and vision on the homepage, and immediately develop earnings pages (which we'll discuss below).
You have The option to upload lecture and media files (like sound and PDFs) directly from your PC.
What's also interesting is that you can work with The course pages to be added by your current website on there. Or, you can start a site with a domain name by starting from scratch on Teachable. Teachable Logo Size
Advanced edits
Among the advantages of Teachable is that you Do not have to be developer or a coder market and to create classes online. It enables you begin making money so long as your courses are great enough, upload your articles, and to start with a template.
But, it makes sense that some individuals and Organizations may want to customization the Teachable interface even further. This would let you move around more complex elements such as button placement, image size, and the overall branding of your site.
Teachable has something called a Power Editor, Which provides more sophisticated users the chance to tap into the code and create those customizations if needed.
Upload All Sorts of Documents
Teachable supports the Vast Majority of files you Requirement for a respectable course. Including video, picture, audio, text, and PDFs. It is possible to pull your articles from a wide variety of sources like Google Drive or Dropbox, syncing up your storage spots with the website.
Learning and Community Tools Like Forums, Blogs, and Quizzes
The quizzes are there to provide information for Your customers. I haven't ever taken a course online where I have not been excited to check my knowledge in the end. Teachable also provides a forum and blog for your site, turning it into more of a neighborhood than anything. Should you nurture this community you're more likely to get some VIP customers who urge you to other people.
Finally, some of the Teachable plans supply Course completion certificates. This contributes to the feeling of community and gives pupils a feeling of accomplishment when they complete one of your courses. You can achieve this for all your courses or just a few of them. It permits you to customize each of the certificates and add your own personal flair to each and every one. Teachable Logo Size
Sales Pages
Landing pages are usually crucial for selling courses. The sales pages are designed by you, then purchase some advertisements linking to these. Clients are more inclined to purchase from sales pages, and you don't confuse people by sending them to the normal homepage.
In Teachable, sales pages have been provided for you. All of the templates are analyzed to enhance your conversions, so all you have to do is go in there and personalize the template to fit your own brand and classes.
What is also cool Is These sales pages (and all Of the pages on your website ) can be converted into a vast array of languages. In this manner, international clients have the opportunity to check out your classes and possibly sign up. It's not a guarantee that these folks will have the ability to understand your videos, but the text-based translations would permit you to open up your business to people around the world.
Responsiveness for Seeing on All Devices
This ties into the design component of Teachable. In short, Google wants to make sure that your website is observable and user friendly all devices, from desktop computers to smaller tablets and smartphones. Consequently, you want to be certain that the media and text are viewable on these devices without any problems.
Your Teachable content snaps into Place based on the device found. Consequently, if your student is viewing your lectures on a phone, they can view everything in the ideal dimensions. The exact same is said for tablets and computers.

Student Management
One of the trickier elements of conducting an online Course is handling pupils, making certain they take the classes, and providing them the support they need.
1 way to do this is using the student comments module in Teachable. Basically, it lets you create items like polls, Google Forms, and other feedback tools to get information from the pupils and determine what they dislike or exactly what they'd like to see later on.
Teachable's support integrations help out with Student management too. During Zapier you can link recalling past conversations that you've had with specific pupils and bringing a variety of alternatives for collecting customer information to you. Teachable Logo Size
Student list segmentation is given to enhance On student-relationships and your promotion. In short, the segmentation module has choices for sending out targeted emails based on particular criteria. As an example, you might send a email once a pupil enrolls in your program out. Or, you may think about using a code salvation for all those pupils who haven't bought one of your courses.
Impressive Marketing Characteristics from Teachable
Marketing features aren't always seen by you with online Course production platforms. However, Teachable includes promotions, coupons, affiliate programs, email marketing and more.
You can play around with pricing Options, with alternatives like payment plans, bundled subscriptions, and classes.
Customer Support
As You Might Have noticed at the pricing plan area, Every plan has product service. The High and Professional Volume Plans provide priority product support, so I'm assuming you get bumped to the front of the line when contacting the corporation.
As for the Way of contact, Teachable offers a Live chat on the site to submit your queries. However, they route you until you send a message to them.
Teachable also has a site and Weekly assignments for an internet academy and learning, Tips!
Overall, Teachable's support options look great. It does not appear to be in the cards, although it would be nice to see some phone service. Teachable Logo Size

- Teachable is focused on helping you build your brand – Teachable isn't just setup that will help you create a program, it encourages you to construct a school full of courses. They would like you to be effective and create courses a part of your business design.
- Teachable is designed for entrepreneurs – When you start working with Teachable, you understand that they know their audience quite well. They know that you do require a solution for constructing your course, you also need help with selling and marketing your program. And they have built in features with your needs.
- Plenty of built in sales and marketing tools – Earnings webpages. Promo videos. Plus weekly webinars and articles .
- Flexible pricing alternatives – Multi-tier pricing, recurring coupons, package courses, and coupon/ voucher codes
- Great option for free courses – They have a free program. If your classes are free, it will not cost you a dime.
Areas for Improvement
- Can Not Drip Content – This is a characteristic a lot of entrepreneurs use. It needs to be an option.
- Course Builder is Unintuitive – The section of this course builder where you create your structure and content is known as a Syllabus. Other than being a misnomer, the Syllabus is simply not intuitive. You have to click around to figure things out. To add content, you click on"New Lecture," whether you are adding a lecture. . .or a quiz, or even a discussion–it is all known as a lecture. This can be confusing and unintuitive. It could be make more sense to have a dropdown with options to add activities, quizzes, projects, etc..
- Lack of Focus on Learning Elements – I'd love to see more than just press, text and very basic quizzes. For example, office hours or synchronous workshops live,. Or the ability to state learning goals. How about projects or class portfolios? These are all features that other platforms have.
- Integrations -There aren't enough of them. They've got the basics covered, for certain, but this is a place they actually must work on. At the moment, there are just six native integrations. For everything else, they rely on Zapier. For example, wish to incorporate the stage with your service? You are out of luck if you don't utilize Mailchimp. . .unless Zapier is used by you. I like to see integrations with Dropbox and Google Drive.
- Navigation menu – It feels weird. A sub-menu overlays the primary navigation menu when you click like Website or Courses. I see a menu or drop down, like in WordPress.
As you can see, most of the areas of progress have to do with studying elements. That's my biggest gripe with Teachable: you receive the bones. You soon realize that they have put nearly all of the job into marketing attributes after doing some digging.
Among the trendiest parts of Teachable is that you simply Don't have to venture out to find and pay for your hosting. It is all contained in the pricing bundle, which is fine for keeping your site up at all times and fast for customers.
However, the best part is the number of Courses and students encouraged by Teachable. It feels like more often than not I stumble upon comparable services that have maximums for classes and students until you cover cash. That is NOT the case with Teachable–because you can have students and classes for all plans. Teachable Logo Size
As for the pricing, here's what Teachable offers:
Fundamental — $29 a month for all base features, 5% transaction fees, immediate payouts, two admin users, product service, course creator training, custom domain service, coupon codes, drip course content, incorporated affiliate advertising, integrated email promotion, and third-party integrations.
Professional — $79 per month to get everything in the Basic program, immediate payouts, five admin users, priority product service, rated quizzes, advanced theme customization, advanced reports, Teachable branding eliminated, and course completion certificates.
Business — $399 a month for everything from the past two programs, no transaction fees, immediate payouts, 100 admin users, priority product support, manual student importing, bulk pupil enrollments, custom user roles.
The reason I enjoy this pricing plan set up so much Because it lets you try your courses out with the Basic Plan is. The transaction fees aren't ideal, but you receive 95 percent of everything comes in for the classes.
Recently, instantaneous payouts have been added to all of The plans you get your cash upfront without having to wait for a month or a few weeks.
Basic characteristics
We said that all foundation attributes are included in The fundamental plan, so it is reasonable to outline what some of those attributes are:
No charges should you give away classes for free.
Fundamental quizzes to test your students.
Discussion forums for building a community around your courses on Teachable.
Student management applications.
An integrated payment processing system to collect all payments safely.
Teachable provides nlimited hosting, students, classes, and movie. Teachable Logo Size
A few closing notes on pricing:
During my Teachable inspection, I discovered that Teachable doesn't charge any setup charges or cancellation charges. This usually means that for is whatever trade fees and your monthly program you might be incurring. You should also keep in mind that there are always going to transaction fees for payment processing, and this is all dependent on which option you go with.
A trial isn't, however you can configure an Account and play around with the Teachable backend for as long as you want. In my mind, this is better than a free trial, as it lets you build your course site and comprehend how before launching it's going to function. Teachable then begins charging your credit card once you start the site.
Last, the pricing plans listed above are predicated On payments. So, you need to pay to get that pricing. Paying month-to-month for Teachable means your monthly pricing will increase. If you don't cover a year beforehand for instance, the fundamental plan goes around $39 per month.
Who Should Consider Teachable as a Means to Make Money on the Web?
Teachable is great bloggers, for YouTubers, Publishers, niche experts, writers, and much more. My Teachable review revealed that so long as you have some sort of ability you can sell courses teaching that skill on Teachable.
You can test out Teachable without Punching in any payment information, so that is cool. However, there's no reason until you have any of your classes to pay for a strategy.
As soon as you make a program, the sky's the limit. I'd Recommend trying to get from Teachable's Basic Plan whenever possible since it's possible to take advantage of the zero payment.
Any sort of class can go on Teachable. For Example, Teachable supports everything to designers from YouTubers to authors and artists. Teachable Logo Size

The American dude came and took our nest away (was quite sad to see it go, J even compared it to giving away a child).
We cleaned the car ready to give back to the rental company. Well technically we played cards whilst some dudes cleaned the car for $25. Before you judge us, it was filthy and it would have taken us days.
We had some time to kill before Julie and Martin finished work and we didn't want to be parked outside their house waiting for them like stalkers. So, we went back to the postoffice for J's verucca stuff and booked a hostel in Buenos Aires on the internet in the library. Spoke to the Baz and Shaz whilst sat in the car outside the library so we could rinse their internet, but had to move when the parking attendant came along. Baz described us accurately as Bonnie and Clyde.
We drove along the new motorway and roads past brand spanking new estates and houses. It was like it had all been built yesterday, everywhere was spotless. We had big grins in our faces when we pulled up to their rather impressive house! Spare room guaranteed!
It was quite possibly the cleanest house we had ever seen, both V and J thought they would spill/break something at one point. Luckily they didn't but J did set the alarm off after Martin's 'This is how not to set the alarm off' speech.
Julie cooked up a well needed feast and even gave V a hit of chocolate and marshmallows which made her day.
Had a nice relaxing evening in chatting and watching some TV before getting into an amazingly comfortable bed. Ridiculously, V didn't sleep very well, possibly because she kept thinking about the bath she was going to have in the morning.

What's trending in kitchen designs for 2019
The kitchen is the heart of the home; the gathering place for families to come together and share a meal over easy conversation. It's no wonder most homeowners put so much time and effort into kitchen renovations.
But don't go thinking that trend forecasters are winding down as 2018 comes to a close. Quite the contrary.
While this year saw the minimalist trend take front and centre, 2019 is set to be all about raw materials and integrated appliances, according to Elle Decor.
Here's what to expect.
Contrasting textures will be the order of the day. And just like 2018, next year we'll see more concrete making a bold statement.
"Think mirrored backsplashes with highly-polished, chunky Calacatta oro marble work tops, or cupboards with textured bronze inlays and matte cupboard fronts with sandblasted timber for a layered urban glamour," London-based interior designer Katharine Pooley tells Elle Decor.
"Walls, fabrics and even counter tops are taking on a more tactile sensation through ceramic tiles, 3D printing and textured paint", adds Anita Bloom, Creative Director at Decorex SA. "New interior design materials - including grounded tiles, recycled plastics and materials - with more traditional materials – marble and granite – are all finding their place."
According to the team at Decorex SA, expect some exciting hues for the upcoming year. New mint is a gender-neutral tone with a futuristic feel, and it's forecast to be the colour for 2020.
Believed to be the colour for 2019, Night Watch is a lush, rich teal which is calming, fresh and healing. Sage green is a subdued, almost neutral colour that works well with dusty pink, offering a fresh accent when it comes to the kitchen.
Grey still seems to be the prefered colour of choice. Caesarstone Piatra Grey countertops are a lighter alternative to black granite countertops, advises SA Decor And Design. They recommend to "just add some grey stained veneer wood to incorporate a darker colour into your home without it becoming overpowering".
State of the art appliances
Talking about colour, if you're bold enough and have the cash to splash on something unique, you should check out Dolce & Gabbana's latest collaboration with Smeg. This is their third installment of their unique partnership, and this time they've concentrated on cookers.
Named Divina Cucina, the new range, was unveiled at Milan Design Week and features two sets of the Victoria range cooker, plus Smeg's iconic FAB28 fridge.
Integrated appliances are the new face of luxury, like built in wine coolers and column fridges. "The advantage is that the units don't have to be placed next to each other, which gives you more flexibility in creating an efficient work space," notes Hatchett Design blog on getting a separate fridge and freezer.
When it comes to lighting, think about style and function. According to HGTV, there are two types of lighting to to consider: chandeliers provide valuable lighting above the island, while recessed fixtures cast soft, ambient light throughout the room.
Bloom also says that cold, industrial-style lights are being re-envisioned with hand-blown glass, wicker, wood and stone - fused with copper and gold brass to create undefined shapes that illuminate every space.
Light fixtures installed inside glass-front cabinets are another popular trend in kitchen design. Another clever trick you can use is the spotlight style which spotlights unique dishes and accessories that complement your backsplash or overall kitchen design.

Managed Care Discounting: Evidence from the MarketScan Database
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 10437
The paper examines price discounting by health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations in markets for hospital services. Our empirical analysis focuses on transaction prices for angioplasty, which is a relatively common procedure, with well defined 'product' characteristics. After controlling for patient and procedure heterogeneity and market power we find that on average prices for PPOs are 8% lower than fee-for-service plans, followed by point-of-service HMOs who capture a 24% discount. Our results are in general agreement with earlier work that shows that managed care discounts are 'real', after accounting for process of care.

I was devastated yesterday to hear of the passing of one of the most interesting people I have ever met or worked with, Dr. Willis Ware formerly of the RAND Corporation.
Dr. Ware passed away at the far too young age of 93 years old.
Most people at RAND had no idea what he did, just that he was very senior.
I met Dr. Ware at the RAND Corporation when I was just 21 or so years old, and Willis was already some sort of Scientist Emeritus at RAND and while no one seemed to know exactly what he did he, suspiciously, had a three window office and a full-time secretary/assistant. With this information we knew he was powerful beyond measure. They said that he testified before Congress on the issues of privacy, and that of course was important but seemed to only add to the mystery.
Several clues revealed themselves as time went by.
Clue #1 He knew my interest in graphics and he wanted to show me a film he had with a user interface that he thought was interesting. It turned out to be none other than one of the famous films of Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad thesis work at MITRE when he was a graduate student at MIT. To this day I consider that user interface to be one of the top five or so I have ever seen.
Clue #2 We were chatting about nothing in particular and he told me the story of how he had worked to bring Dr. von Neumann to RAND after the war and when he was bored at the Institute at Princeton. von Neumann, whose computer architecture you are using while you read my blog, most likely, was going to come to RAND and UCLA and split his time between them. But unfortunately he died suddenly of brain cancer.
Clue #3 Somehow it came to my attention that Willis had received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Princeton in 1939. Look up 1939 in history, recall that the new Intelligence agencies (really the proto-agencies, the ones we know were formed after WWII from these proto-agencies) recruited heavily from the Ivy League and imagine what someone with a PhD in EE might do in the upcoming conflict.
Clue #4 Although Willis did not seem to work on any run of the mill projects at RAND, he did travel every six months and spent a week somewhere in Maryland. Fort Meade, Maryland, as it turned out. In fact, I saw above his secretaries desk an agenda and it said he attended the "SAB" at Ft. Meade, Maryland. Now, what is at Ft. Meade? Well, the National Security Agency is. And what might the SAB be ? Well, it is something called the "Scientific Advisory Board" which meets every six months.
The Scientific Advisory Board of the NSA is the body responsible at a very high level for advising the NSA on technologies of interest and issues that they should be addressing. In short, Willis had some sort of very serious position advising the NSA. A senior spook, at least in part.
Clue #5 Willis and I were discussing WWII and Enigma one day and I told him that I was guessing that there were still secrets from WWII that had not been revealed. And he said to me that he knew for a fact that there were secrets and events from WWII that had not been released and that, in his opinion, they should be.
Clue #6 At random intervals, maybe once or twice a year, Willis would travel on a short trip to Washington, DC. No one knew what he did there, but it was suggested to me, by someone who knew Willis well, that he was used by various elements of the Intelligence Community when it was necessary to liason with another part. In other words, he was some sort of prestigious messenger when some sort of issue or discussion needed to take place. Now, I may have that wrong, or incomplete, and of course it is vague, but I think it still has valid information.
Clue #7 In 1967, DARPA commissioned a report on "Security Controls in Computer Systems". The report was reissued in 1979. Written by Dr. Ware, you may find this report on the Cryptome site at http://cryptome.org/sccs.htm
Clue #7 In 1967, DARPA commissioned a report on "Security Controls in Computer Systems". The report was reissued in 1979. Written by Dr. Ware, you may find this report on the Cryptome site at http://cryptome.org/sccs.htm
And so, who was Dr. Willis Ware ?
I think he was a pioneer of computing and information technology, and a recognized authority on the impact on policy, particularly the policy of privacy, at very high levels of government. I think he was in some sense a spook during WW II and that he maintained his relationship with the primary user of computers in intelligence, the NSA, and was on their advisory board. He maintained an office at RAND and did his own work because it was a useful platform that kept him in touch with Washington, yet outside the beltway madness that so many succumb to. RAND gave him a certain long term cachet, and RAND management of course loved him because their very raison d'etre is to influence policy in Washington, and clearly Willis did just that.
I also suspect that there is more public history here than I know and will no doubt discover over the next few weeks. Willis was probably involved in the Mathematics Division of the RAND Corporation back when RAND had two mathematics-related departments: abstract and applied. Computer science, such as it became, came from the applied math department. When I was with RAND, we had a small computer science department that was in some way derived from these much larger efforts of the past. Today, RAND has no computer science department although there are individual computer scientists and programmers lurking in the hallways. (1)
Finally, Willis is one of the reasons that I am so screwed up today. You see, back then, at RAND, I was treated as a real human being, with intelligence and something to contribute. Today I am treated like garbage by nearly everyone but especially in my own field and it was those expectations that got set at RAND that led inevitably to my downfall.
I will really miss you Willis, wherever you are.
[The NY Times has an obituary of Willis at

1. Part of the reason that RAND had a computer science department(s), was because RAND believed it was of strategic importance to the US Government. As time went by, computer science spread to the more traditional venues of University and Industry and so RAND no longer needed to do that. There were other things that were more important and more in line with their specific missions in the context of Congressional limitations on the maximum size of the annual budgets of places like RAND.

Fall River Weddings: Intimate Ceremonies and Big Receptions
When it comes to planning a wedding, things can get complicated before you know it. Figuring out what you want – and what you don't – can be a challenge. While you might have a slight idea of the theme, colors, or things that you want to incorporate into your special day, there are still lots of big decisions that must be made. Choosing a South Coast event venue is an important first step. Once you tour the banquet facility that you want to use for your wedding reception, everything else will start to fall into place.
However, depending on the budget and number of guests that you want to invite, you might need to make some adjustments. On the other hand, there are some couples who want an intimate ceremony before celebrating with all of their family and friends at the South Coast reception hall. It is important to weigh your options and choose the solution that works best for you. It helps to make some of the big decisions right off the bat, which can allow the smaller, more detailed choices to be easier.
Reasons to Have a Small Ceremony
Each couple will have their own feelings about who they want to share their special day. The ceremony is about you, your soon-to-be spouse, and the life that you want to live together. Making your vows in a private service is a great way to keep the focus on what matters most. Consider who you would want to be there to serve as witnesses when you say your vows to each other. Parents, siblings, best friends – the guest list for the ceremony can be as big or small as you want. Keeping the circle small helps this part of your day to be more personal. This is where you make your commitment to each other so it should be something special.
This arrangement can be helpful to a couple that has a large group of family and friends. While you want everyone there to celebrate along with you, it isn't always practical to have everyone there for the whole wedding. Make sure to explain your plans to people ahead of time that might not understand why the two portions of your wedding will be separated. Consider hosting the ceremony at the same venue but in a different area. This will help you to be close when guests start arriving for the Swansea wedding reception. Ideally, have the ceremony, the wedding photos, and the reception all at the same South Coast reception hall for simplicity.
Choosing a Theme
The fun part about having a private ceremony is that you can have a more traditional theme for the vows, but add a modern twist to the reception at the banquet facility. Many Fall River couples are choosing to have contemporary wedding receptions that feature a theme that reflects their interests and style. We have seen a wide range of themes for wedding celebrations, including movie-based themes, destination-wedding style parties, and interest-based decorations. Incorporate your love for a favorite sci-fi movie into your wedding party or decorate the South Coast event venue to look like the island vacation you'll be taking on your honeymoon. There are no rules when it comes to wedding themes.
Selecting a theme can help with the planning for your Swansea wedding reception. Whether you work with a Fall River wedding planner or take care of the plans for your special day on your own, a theme can help to keep things focused. A theme helps to pinpoint things like colors, decorations, wedding cake designs, centerpieces, music, and wedding party attire. You can even invite your guests to get in on the theme. Since the ceremony and reception are separate, your guests don't have to dress up in suits and formalwear. You can include attire information in your invitation and have guests dress accordingly.
What Do You Want to Include?
It is important to stop and think about what you want to include with your wedding reception. Since you are writing the rules yourself, you can pick and choose which traditions you want to adhere to, and which ones you don't. If you don't like the idea of tossing a bouquet, having a garter removed in front of your grandparents, or happen not to like cake, you can make your own plans. You can forgo all of the wedding celebrations that you dislike and create some new memories for everyone to enjoy. Serve ice cream, cheesecake, or have a candy display instead of wedding cake. Hire a popular local band to play your wedding instead of doing the "chicken dance" and all of those silly wedding songs.
In fact, you don't even have to wear the traditional wedding dress, have a wedding party, or do anything you don't want to do. This is your special day. Sit down and discuss your ideas with your soon-to-be spouse and figure out what's "in" and what's "out" for your Swansea wedding reception. Communicate your thoughts to the on-site event coordinator at the South Coast event venue and make choices based on your preferences and not what others might expect. Many couples in the Greater Fall River area are making unique decisions and plans for their wedding.
Take a Tour of Venus de Milo
If you are looking for the perfect banquet facility to host your wedding reception in the Southeastern Massachusetts or Rhode Island area, consider the world-famous Venus de Milo. Our South Coast event venue has space for you and all your guests. We provide services for on-site wedding ceremonies and receptions, along with other special occasions and events. Our team can help you make choices to celebrate your wedding in your way. Give us a call at 508-678-3901 to schedule a tour or to speak with one of our event planners.
