OPPOSITION TO PLANNING APPLICATION FOR INCINERATOR AT HODDESDONLatest NewsPosted by Cathy Thu, February 09, 2017 10:03:36
The campaign against a proposed incinerator at Hoddesdon (next to the Rye Meads Nature Reserve) now has a WEBSITE.
The PLANNING APPLICATION by Veolia to build an incinerator at Hoddesdon is now out to consultation, and responses should be made, if possible, by 1st March 2017.
People can easily respond by using a simple form on the Hoddesdon-against-incineration website.
As with the New Barnfield Campaign, there are many reasons against incineration, and many reasons against the chosen site.
Reasons against incineration are very clearly explained on the website of United Kingdon Without Incineration Network (UKWIN).
Reasons against the chosen site are very clearly explained on the website of Hoddesdon-against-incineration.
As with the New Barnfield Planning Application, it is important that responses to the consultation on the Planning Application do include the planning issues. Many of these are similar to those that were important in the New Barnfield campaign, including impact on the local people and environment. The details are all on the Hoddesdon-against-incineration website.
There is to be a PUBLIC MEETING about the proposed incinerator in Hoddesdon. Feb 23, 7.00 p.m. at The Spotlight, Hoddesdon, EN11 8BE. This meeting has been called by Broxbourne Council.

Florida jury to weigh punitive damages in Hulk Hogan sex tape case
Gawker stands a good chance of getting the verdict pared back or reversed on appeal, legal experts believe.
Former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan returned to a Florida courtroom on Monday to argue that the Gawker website should have to pay significant punitive damages on top of the $115 million it must pay for posting a sex tape online.
Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, is arguing the $60 million for emotional distress and $55 million for economic damages that a jury awarded him last week has not sent a strong enough message to the media company.
Gawker plans to appeal the decision in a civil case that has drawn wide interest for testing boundaries between a celebrity's privacy rights and press liberties in the digital age.
Hogan sued over Gawker's 2012 posting of a video clip that showed him having sex with the wife of his then-best friend, the radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
RELATED:Gawker could still winHulkHogancase despite $115 million verdict: Legal experts
Hogan, 62, testified that he did not know that their consensual tryst was being recorded when it occurred nearly a decade ago inside Clem's home.
Gawker stands a good chance of getting the verdict pared back or reversed on appeal, legal experts believe.
Gawker CEO and publisher Nick Denton and the editor responsible for the post, A.J. Daulerio, were both named in the lawsuit and found personally liable.
Gawker argued that Hogan had made his sex life fair game by publicly sharing details about it. The New York-based online publication saw its posting as protected speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The jury disagreed, finding the post violated his privacy.

Facebook is great for a lot of things. It helps us keep in touch with family and friends without having to actually call them, allows us to play games in our browsers when we should be working and helps us remember birthdays we'd forget.
It allows me to be a hermit while giving the illusion that I'm really involved in the world, and for that I thank Mark Zuckerberg. At 28, due to his creation, he's roughly 17.5 billion times wealthier than me and probably very difficult to buy presents for.
It's not all sunshine and roses in the land of Facebook. Part of being involved in social circles means having to deal with all the annoying things the people that you know (or kind of know or tangentially know) do.
John Lomax covered many of these annoyances awhile back over in Hair Balls, and they all still apply. That said, there are other, music-related annoyances regarding Zuckerberg's baby worth noting; here are five first-world problems that happen on a regular basis.
1. Spamming Your Band: There's nothing wrong with wanting to be creative and if people want to start bands or go the solo route, that's awesome. If they make their music freely available, I'll check it out in hopes of finding something new. And hey, if they get booked for a show, more power to them.
That said, if your friends don't live in the same city as you, don't send them event invites to your show. We're supposed to be your friends and not people you're cold-calling trying to sell something to. Spamming everyone on your list shows that you don't really care who shows up to your show, and if you don't care, why should we?
Post a status update about the show, invite the friends in your area and don't get upset when people decline. And if they say that "I'm busy" then later post an update about the thing they're doing that isn't your show, don't get upset; they told you they were busy.
2. People Are Lazy Sharers: The more people you know, the more viral videos you encounter. Sometimes you get the same video multiple times in an hour, sometimes they show up slowly over the course of two weeks.
The problem with viral videos is not that some people are behind the times. The problem with viral videos is that no one ever bothers to explain why anyone should click them.
Look at that video above. It's popped up multiple times this week. It's not bad, it's not great. It's probably enough to get him on Ellen.
But not a single person explained why the song was worth checking out. Plenty of "OMG! This song is going straight to my iPod!" and "Why can't this be the original??" but nothing about the actual content of the video.
If you really want to share videos, at least include some frame of reference about why the video is interesting. It takes ten seconds, max.
3. Music Memes Are Mostly Lame: Memes are the new chain letters. Whether it's encouraging people to change their status for an hour or mentioning where someone leaves their purse, they spread like wildfire before eventually burning out.
A good meme is a rarity. A good music meme is even rarer.
Listen, I understand that you don't listen to hip-hop so using your initials and an arbitrary list to come up with your Wu-Tang Clan name seems really cute, but it's not. If I wanted a Wu, name I'd use the Wu-Name Generator like Donald Glover.
You don't have to contribute to every meme you come across. Be selective.
And for the record, the song that was No. 1 on the day you were born has nothing to do with how you turned out as a person. You were fully formed at that point. That meme would have still been stupid if you looked at the song nine months before you were born, but at least it would have made sense.4. Song Lyrics Don't Make You Deep:
Everyone knows that if you love music it plays a big part in your life. It inspires us, it comforts us.
If you've ever had a journal and you've ever been depressed, you probably wrote down song lyrics to try and make sense of your pain or give a journal entry a primer before you explained what was wrong.
The immediacy of our culture has made it to where the journal entry is now tossed aside. Instead, we're content to quote the songs and let everyone else interpret what it possibly means.
That said, we could all agree to try a little bit harder when it comes to what songs we use to define us. You guys got into a fight about where to go for dinner -- now is not the time to bring "Love the Way You Lie" into the conversation.
Unless you want your friends to hate your significant other. In that case, quote away.
5. Choose Your Recommendations Wisely: The more things you're signed up for, the more information Facebook spits out about you. You share your video-game scores, reading habits and the songs you listen to.
Spotify isn't the first service that allows other people to see what you're listening to, but it's the one that seems to have the most integration with Facebook. You don't even have to be on Facebook to see what your friends are listening to. It's right there in the program.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
While we can see what they're listening to, we don't have any context for it. I listen to Skrillex at work because it's loud and wakes me up, but I rarely listen to it at home. Since I don't listen to Spotify at home, you could get the impression I was really into brostep when really it's just something that keeps me awake.
Resist the urge to share music just because you see someone listening to something. If you really want to turn them on to something, send them a message and see what they thought of the original song. If they dig it, share away. Sending music isn't social; talking about music is.

Fifth Workshop on the Turbulent Calculations of Sprays, TCS5 7 June, 2015 - Rhodes Greece Goals related to the Sydney Piloted Spray Burner Objective and plan for TCS5 The objective for TCS5 (related to the Sydney Piloted Spray Burner which is shown here) is to explore and understand the variability in the calculations with changes in the boundary conditions or in the models used. More specifically, answers are sought to the following questions: 1. What are the effects of the spatial distribution of droplets at the exit of the pipe on the downstream structure of the spray jet and/or flame? 2. What are the effects of the droplet size and velocity distributions at the exit of the pipe? 3. What role does evaporation in the pipe play in the organization of the reaction zones near the inlet? 4. Do non-‐equilibrium models change droplet size behavior? If so, what is the specific reason for this change? 5. Do combustion models affect flame behavior? Groups interested in contributing to these studies are advised to contact Professors Assaad Masri and/or Venkat Raman A detailed set of instructions will be generated soon as a guide for coordinating the calculations and for submitting the results. Cases that are likely to be used for TCS5 are: KS6, SP6, EtF6 and EtF7 (see below) Some Background Information: At the last workshop, (TCS4 in Cesme, Turkey 2013), the main burner used for comparison of calculation was the Sydney Piloted Spray Burner which is shown here. Some extensive comparisons were presented for the following sequence of cases: 1. KS6 as non-reacting, non-evaporating 2. SP2, SP6 and SP7 as non-reacting, evaporating and 3. EtF2, EtF6 and EtF7 as reacting with ethanol as fuel. 4. AcF2, AcF6 and AcF7 as reacting with acetone as fuel. A total of seven contributions were submitted for comparison as shown in this Table. Contributor Details Contributors Institution Data Label Chrigui, et al. Univ. of Darmstadt UDRM Prasad, et al. Univ. of Sydney USYD Heye and Raman Univ. of Texas at Austin UT-A El-Asrag, et al. ANSYS, Inc. ANSYS Rittler, et al. Univ. of Duisburg-Essen UDSBG De and Kim Michigan Techn. Univ. Amani Amirkabir Univ. of Techn. KS6 SP6 ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ MTU AMUT EtF2 EtF6 EtF7 ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Here is a brief summary of the key findings: 1. In general, EtF2 and EtF6 were popular for reacting flow cases. Having a corresponding non-evaporating case (KS6) and non-reacting case (SP6) were useful. This mix should be maintained for TCS5. Case EtF7 could be useful and the Groups at Michigan and Heidelberg (and possibly others) can compute it. It will be interesting to see how many other groups can provide inputs. 2. Simulations from Duisburg for KS6 showed that LES boundary conditions do not impact droplet spread in non-reacting cases. The question is what changes in a reacting case? The models have no sense of the reactions, only the flow field responds to temperature/density changes. 3. Good results for SP6 only were obtained by Amani et al. (from Amirkabir) with RANS. LES results were poor. It would be good to revisit this case. 4. Results for EtF6 results were all over the place – some good results but sufficient variability even within the LES approach. Temperature results were off for all flames regardless of the models used. A full presentation showing the comparisons and presenting the conclusions may be made available on request.

Rhode Island Car Accident Attorneys
Get a Helping Hand After an Automobile Accident
The first thing many people experience after a car accident is stress and anxiety. Your car is damaged, someone might be injured, and all your plans have just been put on hold. It is a stressful situation—and it's difficult to go it alone.
At Inman & Tourgee we are devoted to assisting our client's through this trying time.

We can help you do the following:
- Identifying the at-fault parties
- Protecting yourself from aggressive insurance company adjustors
- Gathering evidence that demonstrates fault
- Crafting a strong and compelling case that will stand up in court
If you've been hurt in an accident you have enough problems to deal with without also fending off the insurance companies. Call Inman & Tourgee today.
Representing Victims of Hit-&-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run incidents can result in serious injuries and fatalities. Wrongful deaths from hit-and-runs have been steadily on the rise since 2009, with a recent statistic indicating that there have been more than 32,000 fatalities nationwide.
Inman & Tourgee has had numerous experiences with these types of accidents. If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in a hit-and-run, set up an appointment with us as soon as you can—even if you don't know who hit you.

Hillary Clinton and How We View Power-Seeking Women
Nearly six in ten registered voters have an unfavorable impression of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, making them the two most unpopular presidential candidates. While likely voters find each one equally unfavorable, their favorability does differ across certain key demographics. One of the more notable groups is white men. The most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Hillary Clinton's unfavorable rating is 13 points higher among men than among women. The number is even higher for white men. Up to 75% of white men see Clinton unfavorably, while 51% say the same about Trump. For white men without a college degree, 79% hold an unfavorable view for Clinton while 42% view Trump unfavorably. So why is it that men, especially white men, dislike Clinton so much?
Hillary Clinton is certainly like many other politicians. She has worked on behalf of others throughout her career as a lawyer, First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Like most politicians, she has switched her positions, told lies, and been involved in political scandals. Yet the antipathy towards Clinton is truly unprecedented. Clinton critics do not just want her to lose the election; they want her locked up in prison. They want her hanged. They want her shot.
Academics, psychologists, and the like have been examining gender identity and gender roles for decades. Gender roles are the norms or expectations set by society which dictates the types of behavior considered as acceptable or appropriate for people based on their actual or perceived sex. Women are traditionally viewed as nurturing and should thus assume that role both inside and outside of the household. Men, on the other hand, are traditionally presumed to be leaders. So what happens when a female assumes a traditionally male role like for instance, President of the United States?
Precarious manhood theory hypothesizes that masculinity is a tenuous concept which must be earned and conferred socially. A man can be made to feel less manly by events that make him feel that he is not living up to the masculine ideals perpetuated in our culture. Throughout the world, men are continuously proving their manhood to society. In many pre-industrialized societies, manhood was and is earned via tests of strength, bravery, and endurance. In industrialized societies, gangs, fraternizes, and militaries often require men to prove themselves with initiation rituals.
If masculinity is a precarious and fragile concept, then men will feel compelled to demonstrate their manliness when their manhood is challenged. Scholars at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that gender-threatening feedback arouses stronger feelings of anxiety or shame among men than it does among women. When a male participant felt their masculinity was being threatened, they exhibited more physically aggressive thoughts. Another study at the University of South Florida found that when men perceived that their gender identity was being threatened, they placed riskier bets and acted more recklessly in their private lives.
In 2010, researchers Victoria L. Brescoll and Tyler G. Okimoto asked participants to rate fictional political candidates and indicate which they would vote for. They found that power-seeking elicits backlash against female politicians. Participants found power-seeking female politicians to be unsupportive and uncaring, yet they saw power-seeking male politicians as having greater agency (being assertive and stronger) and greater competence. Some participants even expressed feelings of contempt and disgust toward women seeking power. Power-seeking beliefs also affected voter preferences. Participants were less inclined to vote for the female candidate if they were seen as political power-seekers.
No wonder women still remain underrepresented in United States politics. Women currently hold just 20% of the seats in Congress and 19.3% in the House of Representatives. Only 24.6% of state legislators are women and there are currently only six U.S female governors.
Pervasive manhood theory could help explain the aversive reaction many have to Hillary Clinton. Clinton is aggressive, straightforward, and determined – characteristics that do not fit within our view of how a traditional woman "should be." When she is straightforward, she is seen as "shrill" and "hawkish." Yet when Donald Trump is for straightforward, he is celebrated for telling it "like it is." Hillary Clinton does not disclose an illness and she is a compulsive liar. Donald Trump does not release his tax returns, and he is savvy and smart.
Pervasive manhood theory could also help explain the visceral hatred and venomous language aimed at Secretary Clinton. She has been called a "bitch" by conservative radio hosts such as Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh. One of Trump's advisors recently referred to her as the c-word. At Trump campaign rallies, t-shirts are sold saying, "Hillary sucks, but not like Monica," "Trump that Bitch," and "KFC Hillary Special: 2 fat thighs, 2 small breasts .. left wing." Men who feel that Clinton is a threat to their manhood and women who are uncomfortable with Clinton assuming the roles and qualities that men "should" posses, unleash feelings of anxiety and shame through violent and sexist language
Hillary Clinton has never assumed the role of the "traditional woman." Ever since she refused to bake cookies and host tea parties as the First Lady, she has been unapologetically different. So while she has been described as "cold" and "conniving" and "heartless," maybe she is none of those things. Maybe we view her through our discomfort with how much she does not fit our archetype of how a woman should be. Rather than dismiss her strength and resolve, we should celebrate and applaud it.

An Open Letter To The World From Kim Kardashian's Ass
Hello, friends.
I'd be happy to introduce myself, but I'm fairly certain I don't need to go to the trouble. You all know me as Kim Kardashian's ass, and let's face it… you've been seeing a lot of me lately. Lord knows there's a lot of me to see, greased up and blazing like the afternoon sun, as enormous as all the old titans of Olympus. And whether you found me through one of the myriad online articles or social media postings that feature me, or you're among the millions who have taken the time to seek me out on your own, I'd like to thank you now, deeply, from the transverse folds of my rectum. Without your devoted attention and boundless praise, I would undoubtedly be just another big, bulbous ass.
So… thank you. Truly.
Now, please look away.
Seriously, look anywhere else. I'm done.
I swear I'm not being ungrateful, but in truth, I've never been entirely comfortable being thrust into the spotlight. That's more Kim's thing. Personally, I find it baffling that my more important biological functions don't play a primary role in her life. Not to be crass, but everything I "do" beyond being peacocked around like a bowling trophy is basically an afterthought. I don't hate Kim for that; I certainly can't blame her for flaunting her greatest "asset".
And yes, I realize that was juvenile. I just wanted to say it before you did. Admit it, you were going to.
Because you all think you're so damn clever.
Good one, everybody.
In fact, before you people halt this little diatribe with your endless electric witticisms, let me just get them all out of the way so we can speak in earnest.
Here's the bottom line:
I'm tired of being the butt of your jokes.
I don't mean to raise a stink, but it's been a real bummer.
Sorry if that bursts your bubble.
Can we put all this behind us?
Let's see, what else? There's in arrears, in the end and in hind sight, something about smelling the dairy air… I've heard them all a thousand times. In fact, a lot of these were just used by fucking Time Magazine in their latest high-horse censure of Kim's behavior. They also compared me to a "glazed Krispy Kreme donut", called me an "empty promise" and criticized Kim for using me to cause controversy without creating anything of substance.
But aren't I an ass, Time Magazine? A human ass? Believe me when I tell you that you do not want me to create anything of substance.
Also, I could point out that your sanctimonious disdain didn't stop you from writing a full page article all about me. In that sense, my admittedly meaningless ubiquity isn't my fault, or Kim's.
It's yours.
And that goes for every person reading this. It's your frenzied interest in me that perpetuates my omnipresence. Meaning, if you cared about anything else, I might just go away. Go back to being a simple pair of large, fatty protuberances with an anus for guiding the excretion of solid refuse.
Honestly, I would love that. Believe it or not, there are things out there bigger than me.
I mean, do you realize that at the same time I was being flashed around on every website and e-zine on the internet, a coalition of European scientists landed a robotic probe on a comet three hundred and seventeen million miles away, and moving at forty-six thousand miles per hour?
Now, normally when someone says "probe", I go through a sort of ass' version of Vietnam flashbacks. But this whole Rosetta mission is genuinely astonishing. Can you imagine how difficult it must have been? The marvel of engineering it took to build something that could travel for ten years through the vacuum of space? What it must have taken to figure out how to use the gravity of nearby celestial bodies to change course, the mind-numbing calculations required to send that one rickety spacecraft on a mazy six-and-a-half billion mile journey to a chunk of rock we know nothing about?
Can you comprehend the bigness of that? I mean, I know I'm big, but that's big big.
It's miraculous.
And it's just the tip of the iceberg. We've mapped the human genome. Amputees are being fitted with bionic implants. The bees are disappearing. Europe is on the verge of collapse. Physicists have discovered a fucking four-quark particle that may just explain the creation of the fucking universe.
In the face of all that, how can you possibly look at me and be impressed? I'm just blubber and bronze tanning solution. I am an overfed, airbrushed figment of your fever dreams. I'm literally just a worthless asshole, and I want you to give up on me.
Look away. Go outside. Learn to play guitar.
If you'll pardon the expression, I'm asking you all to turn the other cheek. I'm fucking begging you.
The onus is on you, because, Kim? She's never going to stop. Ever. When she's ninety-five years old and sewn together with lab-engineered bio-plastic, she'll still be oiling me up and waggling me under some eager French photographer's bright, hot camera lights, and all your useless finger-wagging and spiteful condemnations won't mean a goddamn thing… because deep down, she'll know it's what you want. So please look away while you still can.
In hind sight (ha ha), Time Magazine was right about one thing: I am an empty promise. I have no social currency. And as much I love her, the same goes for Kim. Nothing about that woman is ever going to change your lives or make them better. I know what I'm talking about. I'm the one true expert on this subject. I am Kim Kardashian's ass; when it comes to her, I'm the only one who should give a shit.
So for God's sake please, please, please look away. You'll thank me for it.
I appreciate your attention in this matter.
Poop, fart, et cetera,

Android Facebook apps: Friendcaster, Seesmic, Fast, Atrium, Stream, Flipster, Tinfoil, FBM, Connector, facebook web
Facebook without Facebook
The official Android Facebook app invites vitriolic Play Store comments due to its abominable performance. Facebook eats RAM like Wimpy eats burgers, it sucks your battery dry like a vampire with bulimia, you need voodoo to stop it from autostarting, and if you cross the border its massive background traffic will force you to take a second mortgage on your house to pay your data roaming bill.
Google must have been smoking something really good and heavy when they decided to give Facebook a "top developer" label in their app store. The official Facebook app proves that Android task killers serve a purpose after all.
Enough about the official Facebook app now. There are plenty of ways to Facebook without it, and just about each and every alternative Android Facebook app beats the piece of crap from Mark Zuckerberg hands down.
Friendcaster and Seesmic
Friendcaster is the most feature-rich Facebook app out there. Like all alternative Facebook clients, Friendcaster is faster than the official app. If you head to the settings and switch off "alert for Facebook notifications" Friendcaster stays offline until you explicitly tell it to go online. And unlike the official app, Friendcaster can handle multiple Facebook accounts.
Seesmic combines Facebook and Twitter in one app, and lets you post to both networks in one shot.
Both Friendcaster and Seesmic show all Facebook posts, even if you told Facebook not to show everything. If you have a million Facebook friends this makes things unmanagable. If you're overwhelmed by the number of posts you better move on to one of the other Facebook alternatives, because they filter your Facebook feed just like the official Facebook app does.
Fast for Facebook, Atrium, Stream, and Flipster
Fast for Facebook is designed to limit data traffic and go easy on your battery. It won't push any Facebook updates by itself unless you choose to install its push notifications plugin.
Atrium has an excessive amount of annoying ads, and there's no ad-free version. Maybe the ads pay more than Atrium can make from selling their app? Of course you can simply use an ad blocker like AdAway so you never have to look at those annoying ads. Or just forget about Atrium, because its user interface isn't that good. For example, to refresh your Facebook feed in Atrium you have to take a trip to the menu. Atrium could really use a pull-to-refresh option or refresh button.
Stream is a lean Facebook app that tries to ruin the experience with very annoying ads, so get the full version or use an ad blocker.
Flipster is a light-weight Facebook app that's not ready for human consumption. It doesn't show posts that don't have pictures in them, and if you want to post something or send a message you'll often find that you can't. Maybe Flipster will evolve into a usable Facebook client, but for now you better stick with one of the other apps.
Wrappers for the Facebook mobile website
Why use a Facebook app if you can just use their website? One reason for using an app is to get push notifications, another reason is to manage your privacy settings. But if you want to do those things from the mobile website, there's an app for that. In fact, there's more than one.
FBM, Tinfoil, and Connector are wrappers around the mobile Facebook website that add extra features. They show everything you'd see on the Facebook website, including things you'd rather not see such as sponsored content. You can switch push notifications off (the official Facebook app won't let you do that), or you can switch 'em on (which the mobile website won't do). And these apps let you manage your facebook privacy settings and other controls, which you can't do with the full-blown Facebook apps. The exception is facebook web, which is a bare bones Facebook browser without any options or push notifications.
All these website wrappers lack a scroll thumb for quick navigation through your Facebook feed, but Tinfoil has a "jump to top" button in its menu. If the mobile version is too limited for you, Tinfoil can display the full Facebook site too.
A more serious problem that bites all Facebook site wrappers is that they have difficulties posting pictures to albums. And when I tried Connector it popped up lots of errors about not being able to create a secure connection.
Imo is not a Facebook app, but a multi-network instant messenger that connects to Facebook chat and other chat networks. Facebook chatting in imo works better than in any other Facebook app.
Choose your weapon
If you don't mind the lack of filtering, use Friendcaster (my current favourite) or Seesmic. If you want to keep your Facebook feed filtered, use Atrium if you have an ad blocker or Fast if you don't want to block ads or buy the ad-free version.
Don't want a full Facebook app? Then get Tinfoil or FBM.
There are more Facebook apps out there, but I stayed away from apps that haven't been updated in ages. I didn't touch Scope and Hootsuite because they require their own app-specific account in addition to your Facebook login.
Full Facebook apps:
• Friendcaster (very good Facebook app, no filtering)
• Seesmic (Facebook and Twitter app, no filtering)
• Fast (good Facebook app with filtering)
• Atrium (with obnoxious ads)
• Stream (with annoying ads)
• Flipster (not ready for use yet)
• Facebook (official app, sucks big time)
Wrappers around the mobile Facebook site:
• Tinfoil
• Connector
• facebook web (bugs!)
Chat app:
• imo (use an old version, because the new interface didn't improve things)
Labels: instant messaging, social networks

However, it appears that implementing changes in these parent-child verbal interactions is not the only area in which counseling is needed. Parents also need to discuss a number of concerns, apart from those specifically related to verbal interactions with the children, to help parents understand and adapt to the unique problems associated with children's stuttering. The purpose of this article is to combine a broad overview of several basic counseling principles with information about specific areas of concern that these parents often present to speech-language pathologists. These concerns are organized into three areas: (a) emotional and behavioral parental responses, (b) parental concerns about "talking about talking," and (c) parental responses to and concerns about the treatment process.

From the M's site (full article):
As for defense, Spiezio probably will make more errors than Cirillo but also get to more balls.
"Cirillo's range wasn't very good," [3B coach Dave] Myers said. "You never saw him dive for a ball. He didn't have a 'step-and-dive' mentality. In that respect, [Spiezio] might make some great plays over there, something we haven't seen in a couple of years."
Uh, wow. Say what you will about Cirillo's hitting, but I always thought he was pretty darned good defensively.
Several articles, including this one, claim that with Mulholland and Owens, the M's are now inviting 19 players to camp. I just want to go on record to say that I believe that's wrong, that they're only inviting 18 players. At the same time, I'm willing to be incorrect on this one. If you know who the 19th player is, please let me know. I've added Mulholland and Owens to the Big Board so you can see who my 18 are.
The domain I've been using for the past 3 years for my email address went kaput this morning, so I'm in the market for a new hosting service. I don't like webmail, so I'm basically looking for a POP3 server that will give me a free address and isn't spam-o-licious. I have no idea of these even exist, but I figured if one does, someone out there would know about it, and could point me in the right direction. Drop me a line with any leads, and I'll be forever indebted to you. Or, at least thankful.

I think that Roblox is better because that Roblox is where you can play multiple different types of games and genres of them, while in Minecraft, you just build, dig, destroy, etc. Knowing how other people in Roblox creates the games gives people more creativity in what they want to do. Minecraft even though you can build things too, Roblox helps you express your feelings in what you would like to do. Thank you judge.
Actually, ROBLOX Came first, with a release date of 2006, most users from 2006 were deleted but some still exist. ROBLOX also has better graphics, and offers onsite activities such as trading, buying, and selling. You can also make gamepasses for your game and make extra money. They also recently released a feature known as Developer Exchange, or DevEx in which you can transfer 100,000 robux into 100 US dollars (This applies with ascending robux too, 200,000, 300,000->200$, 300$) That means you can have ROBLOX as a job. You can also create Groups, which can be businesses and war clans and more. Finally, the reason why ROBLOX is better is because you can build and script your own world (Which can help with later jobs, such as Game Designer or Architect) Of Course ROBLOX has violence, but nothing extreme.
My final argument is just the fact that you can make Minecraft using ROBLOX.
The rivalry between ROBLOX and Minecraft has been around for about as long as anyone can remember. Many have said Minecraft, while many others have said ROBLOX. After thinking about both sides carefully, I've come to the conclusion that ROBLOX is indeed better.
Minecraft is a game where the player is spawned into a blocky world, and must craft tools and perform actions to survive. Things include mining randomly-spawned ore, strategically making gardens, and fighting "mobs" (the name of the enemies in the world). To me, it seems most of the interest revolves around the terrain: randomly-spawned caves, mountains, and different kinds of biomes.
ROBLOX is a game reminiscent of Legos: players build worlds using blocks. They can then add things like particle effects, teams, and make the world come to life using a special version of Lua (which is implemented via "Scripts"). The game of ROBLOX is one website, with many different games made by players. Only a few games (out of the thousands) are made by ROBLOX staff members, which has made ROBLOX famous for being player-managed.
Minecraft is consistent and has very addictive gameplay, making it seem "better", but ROBLOX has more creative freedom than Minecraft. Although Minecraft has levers, wires, "command blocks", and many other things to help add function to a construction, ROBLOX allows players to take it to the next level. Players can really add any kind of function to anything, be it tools, leaderboards, individual pieces, or even other players. Minecraft restricts you to items already in the game (not counting mods, player-made extensions or adaptations of Minecraft), but in ROBLOX, you really have to make a game entirely from scratch. This allows a much more diverse collection of games that are available to play.
Minecraft is stupid because it has bad graphics and roblow has the best graphics ever because u can make circle and u can break blocks faster and redstone doesnt even work. Roblox u can choose what u want to ware but in minecraft u have to ware a blue shirt and jeans. U can also play funner games on roblox
I believe that roblox is better because of the free gaming and also that roblox is also the first one that came. Mine craft you only have one form of gaming in roblox there is an limitless games that you can play. Also because of the character skins you have a variety of different skins but your character changes very little to none. In roblox you have the ability to be a robloxian to a korblox warrior so in conclusion is roblox is infinitely better.
Im gonna argue each basic argument then state mine.
1) ROBLOX does not scam children, it does not download viruses OR malware. Reasons: Some kids are just dumb and make the simplest mistakes then go RAGING on Roblox forums and on the internet, such as clicking the wrong amount of robux they want or wrong membership. ROBLOX launcher (the only thing you have to download to play) has been compained and complained about, but lemme tell you something, I have over 20 different antiviruses and I have run them all over ROBLOX launcher, only 4 said there was a virus. And guess what type? A worm, which means it probably wasn't even on the program when it was downloaded.
2) Minecraft is not cheaper, no matter what you say. Reasons: ROBLOX gives you 10 tix every day you play, now every now and then, ROBLOX puts out really cool items for like 1 tix or 10 tix, which is really cheap, so all those people who think clothing is expensive, read above.
3) The ideas of ROBLOX and minecraft are basic, really neither were made first. They are both based on blocky graphics, though ROBLOX eventually "Upgraded" theirs. They are both online, though minecraft offers offline.
1) Minecraft is a scam, I bought it and it wont download, (I have searched MINECRAFT help numeral times. So dont even complain about ROBLOX being a scam...
2) Minecraft just got really crappy, originally I would have voted for Minecraft, BUT ever since Notch sold minecraft, it has gone downhill. Wtf is granite?
Thank you very much for reading my ideas, and goodbye.
I have played Roblox and I think its horrible. Bad graphics, Bad community, and so much money. In Mine craft there will be noobs but not as much as the ones in roblox. And I do not have to see a hacker almost everyday. Roblox is 100% hack able and basically is a waste of your time and money. Roblox could get too addicting and can lead to bullying. But play Minecraft
In rob lox you don't have forced cloths to wear, you can wear whatever you want, also roblox is free, minecraft is not. Also roblox allows more freedom than minecraft. In minecraft there is no friends and it is hard to find your friends, and in roblox you don't need to type in an ip to play online, the list is there for you. Roblox also has in game currency minecraft doesn't, unless you find a server hat has it, but even when not in a game roblox has currency to get stuff to wear and show. Also in roblox everyone gets a server and you can pay for additional ones in minecraft you must pay for even one.
Obviously, it all depends on how you look at it. Different people have different wants and needs!!! Not everyone is the same. I would prefer Roblox over Minecraft due to its' better graphics and it doesn't need as much R.A.M. And fps like Minecraft. Minecraft is so laggy on a small laptop while roblox can run perfectly fine... If you know how to take care of your computer... And the fact that Roblox doesn't actually need money to play; its ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! It has its' own currency system and better character customizations since you actually get to change your morphs other items... You can buy robux and membership in roblox but Minecraft costs money to make an single account in order to play... Once you make an account, you could go to different servers to play on but... You could also buy in-game currency in their servers also... And yes, you can buy in-game currency and membership on Roblox too... Roblox is an online based MMO... So is minecraft... I found that I got bored way quicker on Minecraft then I did on roblox... But in conclusion: It depends on the person, Not everyone will like Roblox or Minecraft!
Although Minecraft has more popularity with some teachers in Europe, it could be educational, but ROblox is better if you like games or making games. And plus, you actually could change your clothing without download which is better if you don't want viruses. Roblox seems nice, Plus, roblox just got better..
It arrived in 2009 while roblox was released in 2010. Minecraft has a surprisingly more maneuverable world, better textures and little to no violence. Minecraft also has an infinite world and can have installed mods allowing extras in the game play world. Minecraft also has a single player and multiplayer version allowing players to play with friends or alone.
Roblox is worster. I never played but my friend did. He said it have worster graphics and there is many hackers. I dont play Minecraft either but i saw a video about it and it looks like much better. My friend says its laggy and buggy. Thanks for reading !
Helllloooo! You can create your own skin for free. Make it what you want. You don't have to acquire tickets or robux, which you need to spend money on (the robux). Even more than if you bought Minecraft. Making skins is free. In my opinion Minecraft is cheaper than Roblox (if you get a membership)
So I've been reading some of the "Yes" posts on this subject and most of the people who have voted, have no idea what they are even talking about. I will respond to every current post.
@alexwle888 In terms of creativity in blocky form I started out in Roblox, My account still exists and I occasionally go back to see what they've changed about RX. Back when RX first started it was great, but now, it's so full of stupid micro-transactions that playing the game for more than a couple hours is pointless. When I first heard of minecraft I was thinking, well that's kinda boring. But then I bought into pre-alpha and the game at pre-alpha was amazing. As both games continued a lot of things were added and changed in minecraft and roblox. Roblox lost more stuff than needed and added more pointless functions to their client. Minecraft followed their community and implemented mods into the game stuff that people wanted. Mobs were created from scratch (good mobs, not these retarted meshed blocks in RX) Not to mention the literally infinite world that you don't have to render when joining a game, you render it as you go.
@NGEpic okay so I see you're more into the business of RX. No one cares which one came first, t matters which one is the most popular and makes the most money in the long run in terms of devs. So I'll start with that and work my way down, the conversion of 100k robux is ridiculous, to even get robux in the first place you need tickets or Tix and you have to convert them into robux, and who the hell wants to spend more than they need to on a game? When I bought minecraft, it was 10 dollars and worth every penny. In terms of business with MC We have higher maintenance but more advanced servers. Minecraft Server owners get tons of money from donations and people willing to pay you for hosting their server. Technically, you can't "Host" a server in Roblox, it's all on the Roblox side, it's not you, Basically when you play roblox, you are turning on a temporary server and renting it, your not owning it and gaining anything from it.
Okay now you're saying it's better via building? Sure yes you can script you're own land but who wants to do that? Right off the bat you can go download and install VoxelSniper and even worldedit and have worlds that you created completely by you. The worlds can be larger, creativity is increased by so much more than RX and in terms of creating Mc using RX you can't... I have no idea where you got that idea but to run minecraft you need Java, and to somehow import Java into roblox, which is pointless.
My Final argument on your post, is that you are stupid, incredibly stupid. Please, do some research next time.
Roblox is clearly bribing juvenile delinquents with "robucks" to post votes and reviews. Roblox appears to be a pay-to-win / ransomware rip-off of Minecraft. They even appear to be gaming Wikipedia, using their own marketing material as source. They claim it was released in 2006, but there's no other evidence on the entire internet to it's existence until 2010, one year AFTER minecraft was publicly available.
Minecraft has better graphics, you can build stuff, there are mods, its easier to meet there with your friends, ect. Plus, minecraft was actually made to be a better version of roblox. And it IS alot better. So, my point is, MINECRAFT IS DEFINITELY ALOT BETTER! So, yea. If you haven't played minecraft, you should.
It is so shitty and then I made an account then when i logged back in it told me i need another account so i was like wtf!!! I hate roblox because some deliquent was playing and i was like what are you playing and he was like roblox i hate that crap.
Minecraft is better than roblox even if you have to play. You can download skins for free and not get frustrated by this: You have lost connection to the game. So duh, you won't get frustrated and you don't need to get tix or anything. Btw, enderdragons are better than Work at a pizza place.
I found this supporting evidence on the Roblox Corp Better Business Bureau report. They have many fraudulent billing complains related to scamming children. Including THOUSANDS of dollars of in-game charges for allowed to be made by minors.
These guys are scam artists, and are probably selling data on minors, and installing Chinese malware.
In my opinion, both Minecraft and Roblox are good games. However, Roblox lacks with creativity from yourself. Even with good games in Roblox, no one could use your idea because you would have to buy Builder's Club. However, in Minecraft, you can build anything you want, and even create and play on a LAN server with a friend/family member you want to play with. Also, Roblox requires tix and robux to code games and customize your characer, while in Minecraft you can just download them for free. Who cares about graphics for Minecraft anyways?

I have one Euro bet outstanding for Monday evening. For this update, I have assumed the selection has lost the game. Obviously, if they win or draw, I'll update my records.
Est Systems
Hasn't been the best week for system 21 considering it's the only system from this set that has been doing well this season but it has been a good week for the higher combined systems. About time too I hear most of you shout but good things come to those who wait!
Overall, a profit of 31.62pts from 86 bets. A really good performance again and they are slowly starting to build up some momentum. The combined systems made 17.53pts from 33 bets which is a great return and much more like it. 7-21 thru to 8-22 made a profit of 16.42pts from 10 bets. Can't recall too many updates like this for these higher combined systems this season.
New Systems
An exceptional performance by these systems this week to keep the month going. A profit of 63.48pts from 157 bets. System 41 was the star of the show with a profit of 19.75pts from 38 bets. Great run by this system.
Misc Systems
A profit of 16.55pts from 65 bets. A really good midweek return was spoilt somewhat by a poor weekend if I'm honest but over the week, it's a very good return. TOX, STOY and STOZ were the best performers again and they really are showing up most of the other systems this season.
Under/Over Systems
A profit of 0.8pts from 16 bets. A good midweek spoilt by a poor weekend. Overall, the systems continue to struggle in the main.
Euro Systems
A profit of 2.1pts from 87 bets this weekend. I think the most alarming thing at the moment is the run of the 2nd algorithm! The current drawdown is around 40pts but it has accumulated over the last 122 bets. That's a dreadful run. I make it 29 wins in this time, with 83 losers. Average odds are quite high at 4.00 and if I look at a number of games, there are a lot of big priced teams who have drawn and of course, that would make this run nowhere near as bad but as it stands, it's a shocking run!
Overall then, a profit of 114.55 from 411 bets for this update. Great return again and this month continues to be a decent month. Just need to navigate the midweek fixtures and then I can look back on this month and do the usual monthly review.

I have a bunionette and have tried every conservative treatment available without success and have scheduled surgery for next week. My question is the doctor wants to do an osteotomy and remove the bone but not put it in any hardware. He said that the tendon will still be intact and hold the toe in place and it won't be floppy but it will be a little loose?Is it common to do this surgery without the use of hardware? I am concerned about a loose toe?

Obama to Push for Less Restrictive Trade with Russia; Expedited Pacts with Colombia, Panama
Fox News has learned that President Obama will call on Congress to support a permanent normal trade relations status with Russia and that his U.S. trade ambassador will tell Congress Wednesday the White House will intensify efforts this year to get it done.
PNTR is a Congressionally-approved designation given to countries that results in permanently lower tarriffs on goods from that country and removes some of the leverage the U.S. has in disputes. "...Our efforts to bring Russia into the World Trade Organization will include working with [Congress] this year to grant Russia Permanent Normal Trade Relations, so that U.S. firms and workers fully benefit from Russia's accession to the WTO," U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk will tell Congress Wednesday.
Kirk will also say in testimony that the president has asked him to step up talks with Panama and Colombia to address remaining issues that members have with the free trade agreements with those countries as soon as this year.
"[T]he president has directed me to immediately intensify engagement with Colombia and Panama with the objective of resolving the outstanding issues as soon as possible this year and bringing those agreements to Congress for consideration immediately thereafter," Kirk will say, according to excerpts released.
The president also plans to send the U.S.-Korea negotiated free trade deal to the Hill in the "next few weeks" for a potential Spring passage.
Mr. Obama isn't taking a large risk with the GOP on the Panama and Colombia deals, as some members have already urged quick action. In fact, some Republican members have stated they would like a quick sequence of votes on Korea, Panama and Colombia. However, given the timelines that Kirk will be suggesting, that isn't a path the administration is pursuing. After working out a deal with the Koreans late last year, the administration is anxious to get at least that agreement through Congress first.

text: For developers of scientific or industrial image-processing applications, robustly and accurately extracting the vital information contained in each pixel presents a constant challenge. Recent developments in camera, frame grabber and algorithm technologies have contributed to raising the standards for picture quality, data rates, processing capabilities, robustness and accuracy. The front of the line At the front end of an application is the camera (or sensor). Typical analog cameras provide 640 x 480-pixel, 8-bit resolution at 25 or 30 fps. Many imaging applications, though, demand higher resolution and frame rates. As digital cameras made their appearance, those in industry began to see their benefits: Converting analog data to digital was no longer necessary, and images at a greater resolution and bit depth could be acquired. With digital cameras, image data can be transmitted directly to the PC, eliminating the need to convert the digital data to analog and back again. The benefits of an all-digital interface spawned research efforts in this direction. A few years ago, we saw the introduction of IEEE-1394 (FireWire), which was both a standardization and a simplification intended for consumer electronics, including digital cameras. Low-voltage differential signal and RS-422 are fairly common digital interfaces but are insufficient for some applications, typically those requiring high speed and/or high frame rates, such as web and semiconductor inspection. In 2001, Camera Link made its debut -- a digital interface standard based on Channel Link technology from National Semiconductor that answers this demand for high speed and resolution (Figure 1). Figure 1. Increased bandwidth through a smaller interface is the trend for camera-to-PC connections. Pulnix's TM-6710 camera (left) has a traditional 8-bit low-voltage differential signal connector, but the company's TMC-1000 outputs 24 bits of data and four control signals through a smaller National Semiconductor Channel Link interface. Many camera and frame grabber manufacturers have contributed to the Camera Link standard's quickly becoming the interface of choice for systems integrators. Channel Link uses a variation on the low-voltage differential signal that is already used for transmitting parallel data and that traditionally requires 56 conductors to transfer 28 bits of data. The number of control bits is not standardized and is highly dependent on the camera, but it would typically include five signals for 10 wires. The signal's performance is difficult to measure as well, but data transfer rates of 160 MB/s are typical. Several versions of Camera Link exist. The version used for industrial cameras requires only 11 conductors to transfer 24 bits of data, and four control bits. The reduction in the number of conductors gives the technology the edge on data rates, transmitting an impressive 680 MB/s (Figure 2). Other benefits include standard connectors and cable lengths up to 10 m. Furthermore, Channel Link technology not only eliminates the need for a software protocol like IEEE-1394, simplifying camera design, but also removes the requirement for complex communications software. Figure 2. Channel Link interface technology (top) -- essentially a "hybrid" of low-voltage differential signal and digital serial interfaces -- serializes parallel data to reduce wire numbers, size and shielding materials. The IEEE-1394 standard was established in 1995 as a digital serial interface and interconnect for consumer electronics and computer peripherals. Because it was intended for incorporation into a broad range of products, such as professional audio/video and storage, scanning and printing devices, a number of protocols have been designated. Hardware that supports IEEE-1394 industrial/scientific digital cameras follows the protocol outlined in the Instrumentation and Industrial Digital Camera specification. A single six-wire cable can power the camera and carries both the video data to the PC and the communication signals from the PC to the camera. IEEE-1394a supports maximum data transfer rates of 400 Mb/s but is limited to a cable length of 4.5 m. With the emerging IEEE-1394b, cables can be made from other materials, such as plastic or glass fibers, and these cables support maximum lengths of 50 or 100 m, depending on the data rate and the material. In addition, IEEE-1394b supports maximum data rates of 800 Mb/s (3200 Mb/s with a glass fiber optic cable) and has the potential to go beyond those rates. As camera technology continues to improve, today's industrial and scientific imaging applications require the processing of more and more pixel data. For some applications, especially those that employ the Camera Link interface, pixel processing rates on the order of hundreds of megabytes per second are the norm. As a result, manufacturers of frame grabbers have had to develop high-throughput products to satisfy the demand for and to avoid the loss of data. The bus is overcrowded The peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus is the enabling technology that gave systems designers the means to stream image data into system memory in real time, where it could be processed by the ever-increasing power of host CPUs. This paved the way for the adoption of the PC as a real-time imaging platform. In the beginning, the PCI was positioned as a bus that delivered 132-MB/s performance, but with the chip sets found on early PCs, the actual sustained performance was closer to 20 to 30 MB/s. This benchmark is a key factor for reliable image capture to host from a PCI bus frame grabber. With today's PCs, this is not a problem, and properly designed frame grabbers can deliver video image data to host memory at rates surprisingly close to the theoretical maximum throughput. Another performance handicap was that some early PCI bus frame grabber designs were not PCI bus masters. This type of interface is necessary for a frame grabber to transfer data to system memory for processing, without the continuous and direct involvement of the CPU. If the host CPU is busy reading pixel data, it is not processing. But as time went on, designers of PCI chips figured out how to make full use of that bus design by implementing functionality such as bus mastering to optimize throughput and system performance. For applications that use IEEE-1394 cameras, the PCI bus should be able to adequately transfer and process the data. To maximize the capabilities of the Camera Link specification, however, developers needed a faster, wider bus. The PCI Special Interest Group developed a high-performance enhancement to the conventional specification, called PCI-X, to resolve the bandwidth issue. This technology, with its increased performance, addresses the demanding input/output requirements of a new generation of high-bandwidth applications like Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed Camera Link cameras. Version 1.0 of PCI-X specifies a 64-bit connection running at speeds of 66, 100 or 133 MHz, resulting in a peak bandwidth of 528, 800 or 1064 MB/s, respectively. Image-processing algorithms in use today can be described as more robust and extremely fast. The theories behind a number of techniques, such as geometric pattern matching and feature extraction, have been with us for decades. Increased processing power has made investigation of the algorithms that were unusable for industrial applications a worthwhile task. But processing power is only part of the story. Merely plugging components together is not going to produce a usable algorithm. Developers must fine-tune those components so that they satisfy the performance objectives of speed, robustness and accuracy. Robust algorithms In a semiconductor wafer-alignment application, the wafers are polished several times during the production process. After polishing, the fiducials may be severely altered, so the algorithms must be robust enough to locate any that have been, and the varied or nonuniform lighting environments for this application must be taken into consideration. At the same time, these procedures cannot slow the production rate. CPUs are designed to speed up multiple calculations. Five or six years ago, technologies such as Single Instruction Multiple Data, developed by academia; Altivec by Motorola; and MMX/SSE2 by Intel, pushed this further, enabling those calculations to be performed in parallel. Many image-processing operations, such as normalized gray-scale correlation (pattern matching) and blob analysis, can be performed on an image with a more "brute force" approach. These algorithms are less dependent on the actual image content, and the same instruction is performed on multiple data. Algorithms for geometric pattern matching and feature extraction use high-level heuristics and involve hundreds of decisions based on the analysis of individual pixels. Because 1-GHz and faster processors can obtain results for complex algorithms within milliseconds instead of minutes, branching is no longer as serious a problem. As a result, complex algorithms are becoming commonplace in industrial applications. Many newer image-processing tools are so powerful that the requirements of what constitutes a good image have been relaxed somewhat. In a traditional industrial setting, many factors can interfere with acquiring image data from a camera. Lighting has always been a problem. Shadows can fall in the camera's field of view, as can overhead reflections. Uniform lighting, therefore, is very difficult to accomplish. Blob-analysis operations are quite common in industrial or scientific applications and can be used to find simple shapes. These operations are binary and rely on consistent lighting. Furthermore, once the image is transferred to binary form, results can be obtained only with pixel accuracy. A feature-extraction tool, such as Matrox Imaging's Edge Finder, surpasses these capabilities by showing a tolerance to lighting variations and by using the relationship of a pixel to its neighbors to find line crests and contours. Figure 3. Geometric pattern-matching algorithms are robust enough to find multiple models or occurrences of models, even if they are occluded. They can locate a model at any scale or orientation, even in environments with nonuniform or poor lighting. Geometric pattern matching is another technique that is now possible because of increased processing power (Figure 3). This method uses defined features instead of actual pixels to locate a model in a target image. For example, if the algorithm is searching for a polygon with four corners, the corners and the relationship between them are used to find the shape. Because the specified distance, or the distance ratio, between these features is noted in the target model, geometric pattern matching can locate the object, no matter what the angle or scale. Matrox's Geometric Model Finder tolerates significant occlusion. In a pick-and-place robotic operation, where a robot grabs a part out of a bin, the benefits of geometric pattern matching are compounded: It can search for multiple models and can locate models with significant occlusion in nonuniform lighting conditions.

Dark Sun: The Karsto Campaigns
Korvath is a mul preserver and member of the Veiled Alliance. His current whereabouts are unknown.
Korvath once delivered mail to Patricians across Balic. One of the nobles he delivered to noticed Korvath's intelligence and secret literacy. At some time, the noble began sharing his criticisms of the current establishment and laws barring magic in the city. Korvath showed interest, and the noble introduced him to the art of magic over a course of years. The noble was eventually caught and sent to Uriah's Keep for the cultists of Iax Cavaka to be executed.
Korvath continued studying magic and sought out the Veiled Alliance to gain a foothold for revenge against the corrupt praetors and their vile king, Androphinis.
In Breeze, Year of Priest's Defiance, Korvath was caught in a Praetor sting during a Veiled cell meeting. He was last seen during the midst of the violent arrest as Armeis cast a magical barrier which sealed an escape route off from Korvath and the rest of the Veiled members. He cast the Urikite healer (actually a templar of Hamanu) a venomous glare as Armeis, Dalamar, Kathaalis, and Asis ran to escape with Javairre Saun.
