The present study aims to confirm the influence of a horse-riding lesson program (HRLP) on the stress level of horses and riders by respectively analyzing their salivary cortisol concentration. Twenty-four healthy horses and 23 riders participated in this study. The horses were randomly classified into two groups for the horse riding lesson program: Class 1 (for the beginner lesson) and Class 2 (for the intermediate lesson). The Class 1 group consisted of 12 horses and 12 riders, while the Class 2 group consisted of 12 horses and 11 riders. Salivettes cotton wool swabs were used for saliva collection and the saliva analyses were conducted using a two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures with SAS version 8. As for the results, the average salivary cortisol concentration of all horses before HRLP significantly increased compared to the baseline (p<0.001) while it decreased after the HRLP. The results of the salivary cortisol concentration of the riders were similar to the horses' results. However, there was no difference during the HRLP between Class 1 and Class 2 in the horse or rider groups. The results suggest that the HRLP did not influence the stress level of the horses or riders. Thus, this study provides the necessary information and guidelines for future studies on stress in horses during riding and gives insight into better horse welfare and management options.

Re: Red Flag Abuse
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) A 23-year-old man who posted on Facebook, I dont know why I dont go on a killing spree. A West Palm Beach couple who shot up their home while high on cocaine. A 31-year-old Gulf Coast man who pointed a semiautomatic rifle at a motorcyclist.
All four Florida residents had their guns taken away by judges under a red flag law the state passed three weeks after authorities say a mentally disturbed man killed 17 people in a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland two years ago Friday.
The law, supported by legislators of both parties , has been applied more than 3,500 times since, with the pace accelerating during the last half of 2019. Even so, an Associated Press analysis of the law showed its use is inconsistent, with some counties and cities using it rarely and others not at all.
Advocates of Floridas red flag measure say before it existed, it was often difficult to remove firearms from those making threats or suffering severe mental breakdowns. Investigators did not act on reports that the Parkland shooter was threatening to carry out a school massacre. But even if they had, it is likely he would have been allowed to keep his guns because he had no felony convictions or involuntary, long-term mental commitments, they say.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who leads a commission that investigated the massacres causes, says the shooter would have easily qualified for a red flag order. Gualtieri says while it is impossible to say that would have prevented the shooting, the gunman wouldnt have been able to legally buy weapons or ammunition, making his preparation difficult.
We have needed this law for decades, said Gualtieri, who started a unit in his department that handles only red flag cases.
But the law also has vocal critics: those who say it violates the U.S. and state constitutions, including the right to bear arms, and others who argue that laws already on the books in Florida made it unnecessary. Still others say it discriminates against the poor: Because the hearing with a judge is not a criminal proceeding, low-income defendants arent provided with a free lawyer.
Sixteen other states plus the District of Columbia have similar laws, 11 of which were enacted after the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting at Stoneman Douglas. President Donald Trump has at times supported a federal proposal, but has not strongly advocated it before Congress.
To get an order in Florida, police agencies must file a request with a civil court, citing serious mental illness or threats a person has made. If the judge agrees, the person must surrender their firearms to police. Within two weeks, a hearing is held during which the judge decides whether to take the persons weapons away for a year. Police agencies can apply for an extension if there is evidence a person remains a threat after a year. If not, the guns are returned.
Orlando attorney Kendra Parris, who is trying to get a case before the state Supreme Court to overturn the law, says it doesnt adequately define some terms, such as what constitutes serious mental health issues. And in any case, she says, other Florida statutes, such as misdemeanor breach of the peace, already allow police to take firearms from the truly dangerous before they act. That statute could easily have been invoked against the Stoneman Douglas shooter, she said.
Probably two dozen times this guy could have been charged for breach of the peace and had his firearms removed, Parris said.
The AP analysis shows that from March 2018, when the law was enacted, through December 2019, there was a wide disparity in its per capita usage in Floridas 67 counties. Twenty issued at least one for every 5,500 residents during that time period, the statewide average. Three issued at least one for every 2,000 residents, including Gualtieris Pinellas County, which includes the Tampa Bay area, and has nearly 1 million people. Highlands County, near Lake Okeechobee, ranked No. 1, issuing one for every 850 residents.
On the other extreme, 12 counties issued one for every 30,000 residents or less. Two neighboring Panhandle counties Escambia and Santa Rosa issued one for every 100,000 residents or more. Another nine small, rural counties issued none.
Highlands County Sheriff Paul Blackman said he doesnt know why his county is No. 1, but he noted that his deputies average two calls daily for mental health crises. The county has just over 100,000 residents and was the scene of a bank shooting last year that left five women dead.
If someone has made a threat to hurt themselves or others and is intent on using a firearm, we will try to get a risk protection order against them so we can take away those guns, Blackman said. But even the law isnt a guarantee: Two Highlands men who received orders still killed themselves, one with carbon monoxide and the other with an illegally obtained gun, he said.
The sheriffs whose counties had no or few red flag orders during the reviewed period said in an AP questionnaire that they are not philosophically opposed to the law they just havent needed it.
Santa Rosa Sheriff Bob Johnson said it was a fluke that his county of 155,000 had only issued one order. Baker County Maj. Randy Crews explained that the lack of red flag orders from his county on the Georgia border west of Jacksonville has to do with the fact that his deputies know most of the 27,000 residents and can intercede quickly if someone is having a breakdown and making threats.
Crews said most potential red flag cases are asked to surrender their guns to a relative, who is told to not return them until the person finishes mental health treatment. He said that approach works better than confrontation and has never backfired. He said the office would not hesitate to use the law, however, if someone didnt cooperate.

Re: Red Flag Abuse
With all the seizures in FL, it would be interesting to know how many got their guns returned ? And when?

Government Officials Seize Veteran's Guns in Mistaken Identification In Red Flag Law Execution
Since the crazed Constitutional rights prohibitionists can't get the federal government to pass any of their absurd gun control laws, they have turned to a state-by-state effort to methodically do away with the 2nd Amendment.
One of the many laws they are pushing are so-called "red flag" laws where someone can petition the courts to have someone's guns taken away without any due process by claiming the person is a danger to themselves or others. And the person being served with the court order doesn't even know it until the cops are at the door. Then the person has to spend their own money and time to fight it, and has to prove their innocence before the court in order to get their rights back.
The crazed prohibitionists try to claim there is due process and that these laws will save lives, while they mock anyone who dares to bring up dystopian scenarios where people are wrongly accused. Except what happens when the wrongly accused are actually served with these orders in real life?
It happened to Jon Carpenter, in St. Cloud, Florida. He happened to have the same name as a homeless drug addict who was threatening an elderly woman with a gun. A red flag was ordered on the violent Jon Carpenter, and as officials were searching for an address and other information on him, they got him mixed up with peaceful Jon Carpenter.
The good guy Carpenter is Marine veteran and sport fisherman, and he does own guns and has a valid CCW permit. That was until Sheriff's deputies knocked on his door to take his CCW and guns. This Carpenter doesn't even match the description of the transient Carpenter.
Fox 13 Tampa reports:
Jon is a veteran, sports fisherman, and law-abiding gun owner from St. Cloud, who just happens to have the same name as a drifter who threatened an elderly couple.
"He's 110 pounds. I'm 200. He has brown eyes. I have hazel. He has black hair. I have no hair," Jon said, comparing himself to the other Jon Carpenter, who became the target of a risk protection order to remove any weapons he may possess.
But the veteran, fisherman, 200-pound Jon Carpenter was sent a certified letter from the state, suspending his firearms license.
"I was just dumbfounded. I didn't know what to do. I called the state and they basically said, 'There's an injunction against you,'" Carpenter explained.
He also received a notice that he had been reported to DCF for elder abuse and a state order to surrender any firearms.
"The state basically said, If it's not you, go to the courthouse. They'll give you a letter and they'll get you reinstated," said Carpenter.
But that's not how it played out.
"Then, he finally comes out, and he's like you basically have to go to court on the 27th, in two weeks. So I said, 'I'm guilty until I prove myself innocent? That's why I'm here, trying to show its not me.' And he's like, 'Since you're here, you've been served. Here's your restraining order,'" Carpenter recalled.
He finally connected with someone in the sheriff's office, who helped him get the injunction dismissed and called the state to get his firearms license reinstated.
"They said they process it in the order it was received and it takes 6-8 weeks. I was like, 'So you can suspend it in one day, instantly, but for somebody else's mistake, I've got to wait 6-8 weeks?'"
After months of defending himself and fighting the phony order, the good-guy Jon Carpenter eventually got his rights back. But he had to prove his own innocence in the face of assumed guilt.

Florida Man Has Firearms Rights Taken Away Over Mistaken Identity

Florida Man Has Firearms Rights Taken Away Over Mistaken Identity
St. Cloud, FL –-(Ammoland.com)- Last Wednesday, Jonathan Carpenter of Osceola County, Florida was sitting at home when a mail carrier knocked on his front door.
The postal carrier had Carpenter signed for a certified letter from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Carpenter signed for it, but he was confused because he was not expecting anything from the state. He quickly opened it and was floored.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services was notifying him that they have suspended his concealed handgun permit.
"On or about August 12th, 2019 in Osceola County, Florida, an injunction was entered restraining you from acts of domestic violence or acts of repeat violations," the notice read.
The letter shocked Carpenter, who has never had a run-in with the law.
"When I opened the letter stating my CCW was suspended, I was shocked and confused," Carpenter told AmmoLand News.
Figuring it was a mistake, Carpenter called the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to clear things up since he has never committed domestic violence against anyone. The representative told him he had to get a form from the Clerk of the Courts saying that there weren't any actions against him.
Carpenter headed to Clerk of the Court's office to retrieve the required form. When he got there, the Clerk informed him that there was an injunction against a Jonathan Edward Carpenter.
"What do I have to do to prove that you have the wrong Jonathan Edward Carpenter?" he asked the Clerk.
The Clerk instructed Carpenter to go downstairs to talk to the Osceola County Sheriff's office to clear things up. Carpenter still figuring that it was just a mistake that the Sheriff's office could quickly clear up went and spoke with him.
The Sheriff's office supplied Carpenter with a copy of the injunction. In the statement, the plaintiff stated that she rented a room out to a "Jonathan Edward Carpenter" and his girlfriend. She alleged that this Carpenter was a drug dealer who broke her furniture and sold her belongings without her permission. He had a gun, and she feared for her life. She was not sure if the firearm was legal or not.
Jonathan Carpenter of Osceola County, Florida Firearms Rights Taken Away Over Mistaken Identity – Redacted
Carpenter had never met the woman in question and never lived at the address listed in the restraining order. Moreover, other than being white, he looked nothing like the man the terrorized the woman.
The man in question is 5'8. Carpenter is 5'11. The alleged drug dealer is 110lbs. Carpenter is over 200. The man has black hair. Carpenter is completely bald. Last but not least, the man in question is covered in tattoos, and Carpenter only has a few.
It was apparent that the police had the wrong man, but Carpenter was in for his biggest shock yet. The Sherriff's office told Carpenter he had to surrender his guns. Carpenter never even had as much as a hearing, yet he was losing his rights.
"The last thing on my mind was me having to turn over my gun," Carpenter told AmmoLand. "I was upset when the Sheriff told me that I need to surrender my gun before any due process."
He would not be able to get them back until he goes to court so the women can verify to the judge that they have the wrong Jonathan Carpenter. He would have to petition the court for the return of his firearms. An added expense that Carpenter would have to cover himself!
A police officer I spoke to off the record thinks that the courts ran a check for a Jonathan Edward Carpenter with a concealed carry permit. Although he could not tell me for sure, he thinks that is what happened in this particular case. He did say that this is a common practice.
When I pressed the officer of the likelihood of a drug dealer obeying Florida gun laws and getting a concealed handgun permit, he agreed that it probably isn't likely. He then stated that police and courts do make mistakes all the time, but he insisted that it is better to make mistakes than not do anything. Many disagree with that point.
For many, this is an example of how the system is broken. Second Amendment advocates worry with the expansion of extreme risk protection orders these situations will become more prevalent. Currently, 17 states have these red flag laws on the books.
Florida passed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act in 2018. This is Florida's version of a red flag law. Although this isn't technically a risk protection order, many think cases like this highlight how red flag laws can be misused to disarm innocent people.
For Carpenter, he has to wait until August 27th for his day in court to start the process of getting his firearms rights back. To him, he had the presumption of innocence taken away. He is currently seeking legal counsel.

All The Latest Outrage
'The Smoking Gun' website tells all on your favorite pop-culture icons
Shocker! Britney Spears, who recently signed a Pepsi-ad deal, demands Coke backstage. Revealed! Christina Aguilera insists on Flintstones vitamins. Such concert riders are available for all to read at The Smoking Gun (thesmokinggun.com), the hell-raising site that's widened its scope from pols and criminals to more celebs. Documents like an 'N Sync lawsuit and the denied appeal of Foo Fighter Dave Grohl's Australian drunk-driving conviction (all six pages of it) are becoming the site's stock-in-trade. Why now? "We've done things that tap into a more pop-culture-y vein," says editor William Bastone, a former investigative reporter for The Village Voice. "Those exposed us to an audience of younger people." And yielded greater buzz. Part of its new approach, says Bastone, is to scrutinize the stars with "techniques we normally use to crack down on hoodlums." Sometimes, of course, there's precious little difference between them.

Warfronts are larger, 20-man challenges that take inspiration from the Warcraft strategy games. Players are deployed on the Warfront to collect resources, destroy enemy troops, construct buildings, and eventually launch an assault to take over the enemy base. These battles take 20 to 40 minutes to complete and, unlike Island Expeditions, don't offer a PvP mode.
War Mode: War Mode can be turned on at level 30 through your talent window, and will give you 10% bonus XP. You will, however, be attackable by players of the opposing faction, but changes have been made so that all players have a fair shot in a fight and even low-level players can kill much higher level players, and at least not get ganked and one shotted. Note: As of patch 8.1, you can get an additional call to arms bonus with war mode on if your faction is underepresented.
These are a genuinely challenging and dynamic way to play. No two are alike, and the A.I. actually does give you some real opposition. Island expeditions are like dungeons, available in normal, heroic, and mythic difficulties. That means you can press into higher difficulties for more of a challenge. Of course, the PvP version pushes everything to the max.
Most classes in World of Warcraft start at first level, but Death Knights and Demon Hunters are exceptions. They start at level 55 and 98, respectively. This alone can shave a huge chunk of time from your leveling experience. Of course, it only works if you want to play a Death Knight or Demon Hunter, but they're both solid classics that can dish out damage or tank in a group.
What can you find in our WoW guide? We decided to approach the matter a little differently than usual and instead of preparing a comprehensive guide we focused on major features and key information, tips, and instructions, which may be useful during leveling up and raids. Therefore, instead of providing a detailed walkthrough, we've included answers to important questions, such as how to unlock a mount, how to reach new locations or, most importantly, which allied race you should choose at the beginning? In other words, in following chapters and section you can find everything that will be useful for a beginner player during his adventure with WoW's new expansion.
5% was admittedly an exaggeration, just felt that low. I'd say it was probably closer to the 30-40% range. It was Artifacts of the Blacksilt, spent a good 10-15 minutes killing Blacksilt Seers to get two damn idols to drop. A quest that had me killing Elder Brown Bears for bear flanks also took quite a while, though that was less due to drop rate and more due to how spread out they were.
101+ At this point you'll start taking a penalty on quest/bonus objective experience for every level past 100. Treasures, however, remain worth their full value all the way through level 105, at which point they'll be worth something like 15% less, and then another 15% more when you ding 106. I recommend that you stop questing/gathering entirely, and collect all the treasures you can stomach, only avoiding any annoying to reach ones inside caves or behind elites/rares(where scaling does bizarro things).
Leveling used to be a treat in WoW. New, unique abilities drove you forward and made getting past the horrible grind worth it to some extent. Now it just feels like everything is set to grind. More than it used to be. Once it was tolerable, rewarding even, but now you grind to unlock an allied race through reputations barely connected to most of these races, only to have to level up that character to get their unique armor set (compelling you to not just boost your character and instead suffer through the slog of ANOTHER group of alts), then you get back to current content and grind some more with a random chance to drop the item you need to get your ilvl up to finally enjoy the single warfront available (as I write this).
Through out the game, the quest log will be capped to 20 many times. The guide makes use of maximizing the total amount of quests you can accept at once. Because of this it is important to follow the guide exactly and only accept quests if the guide tells you to so you won't run into issues not being able to accept a quest. If you do accept a quest that is not listed in the guide, write it down because you may need to abandon it in order to keep following the guide if your quest log is full.
Since it's like a premium version and it's not modifying game files it gets by somehow. I personally hate Zygor's guides and always have, it's just personal honestly. I understand some people like his guides and have no problem paying for them but I personally hate the idea of charging someone for an addon that - as this post points out - has plenty of bugs in it. These were fixed last week and if I'm paying cash for an addon I want that addon bug free and not causing a hassle and taking my time away when I could be doing a better job without an addon at all.
Whereas Dugi has now changed to a subscription rate of only $6.99 per month, which gives you everything including all expansion updates. This is such a good deal, I bought some of Dugi's guides before he offered this rate but have now switched over to it. If you are feeling ripped off by Zygor, invest $7 to give Dugi a try and I'm sure you will be very quickly converted. Plus you have the bonus of ending your subscription at any time, so if you stop playing wow you havn't forked out hundreds of dollars on something you aren't using.
Some dungeons are also much better than other. Some take a long time to finish and some are quick. Some have few quests and others have many. The ideal dungeons have a lot of quests and are quick to finish. If you are sent to a long dungeon that you have already completed, you can leave but you won't be able to enter a new dungeon in 30 minutes. Dungeons like the Stockade are super quick, so it will still be good XP if you are sent here more than once.
If you're a returning player, consider paying for a month's worth of playing time—a mere $15—and using the game's newer Class Trials to see if you still have that spark for higher-level play. While you can also go the "Starter Edition" route for a free, limited romp through Azeroth, you might need a little more than the newbie zones to help you decide whether you want to play through the game's latest expansion.
Through out the game, the quest log will be capped to 20 many times. The guide makes use of maximizing the total amount of quests you can accept at once. Because of this it is important to follow the guide exactly and only accept quests if the guide tells you to so you won't run into issues not being able to accept a quest. If you do accept a quest that is not listed in the guide, write it down because you may need to abandon it in order to keep following the guide if your quest log is full.
Heirlooms are special pieces of armor that level up with your character, so they have stats that are always respectable for your character's level (up to level 110). Heirlooms that fit the head, shoulder, chest, legs, and back armor slot offer an experience bonus. The total bonus is 45 percent if you have them all. It's also possible to acquire a ring that adds another 5 percent, but you must win a fishing contest acquire it, and that can take some time.
And... that was it. New NPCs offered a glimpse of some truly amazing armor and weapons, none of which are currently available to players (and datamining suggests it may be a while, if ever, before they are.) There were no new appearances for players to farm, no items or pets or toys or titles to obtain, no achievements to complete. There was no repeatable, truly farmable content.
-Azerite Gear- This has been the worst experience for many players as it was advertised as offering the player many options for customizing their character but all players do is Google "Icy veins (Spec/Class) azerite ranks" and select the best one. This is expected and really only gives players the illusion of choice as they're always going to pick the best one. This could have been done far better by not offering necessarily just damage increases in traits but offering some of the Legion Legendary item effects in Azerite slots. You know, certain Azerite traits would be better for PvP, some for raiding, some for 5 mans, some for soloing old content, etc. The other problem with Azerite gear is that it's locked based on you grinding an endless amount of Azerite for your neck piece (basically the stuff that increases the level of your neck piece). So when you get an item that should be an upgrade, it really isn't because you don't have all the traits unlocked. This complaint about how horrible this system is could go on forever, but I'll just leave it at that, horrible.
Compare that to the previous Warlords of Draenor expansion, which wasn't a great expansion overall, but still managed a prepatch that offered a pet, a title, a new version of an old dungeon with new quests and achievements and loot, a series of ultrapowerful weapons that could be passed on to alts, and a whole host of in-game system improvements ranging from a new way to find groups to a new way to collect pets, toys and appearances.
These are a genuinely challenging and dynamic way to play. No two are alike, and the A.I. actually does give you some real opposition. Island expeditions are like dungeons, available in normal, heroic, and mythic difficulties. That means you can press into higher difficulties for more of a challenge. Of course, the PvP version pushes everything to the max.
It's hard to step out of the shadow of Legion, which was utterly fantastic in almost every way, to enter an expansion where you get one item per boss in the last expansion because the rules have been changed to force more grinding, where you have to grind reputation in the old expansion that you probably skipped because rep grinds suck JUST to unlock allied races (who aren't fully unique races since they recycle old content such as animations), where questing has SOMEHOW become boring again and where your new abilities are given by items you'll swap out every level, meanwhile being only boring passive effects no one cares about.
What is World of Warcraft? It's an online game where people from around the globe explore a mysterious world, filled with magic and incredible adventures. It's a world where everyone can be a hero. Do you want more information? Then be sure to download the Dugi Guides by Dave Farrell, following the link at the bottom of the page. These books will help you master WoW in a very short time. This page will also help you understand a World of Warcraft. So what kind of game is this? World of Warcraft –it's a global multiplayer role-playing online game. World of Warcraft, along with other games of the same genre, is usually referred to as MMORPG, i.e. global multiplayer role-playing online games.
Warmode is one of the real stand-out features of Battle for Azeroth, even if it is a somewhat controversial one. Warmode tries to revolutionize world PvP like the game has never seen. By switching on Warmode, you enter a new version of your server with only other people looking to fight out in the world. The result is a more volatile world where fights can break out at any time, and groups from to go fight the opposing faction.
Welcome to the Ultimate, Unofficial Classic WoW Leveling Guide, with complete 1-60 routes for BOTH the Alliance and Horde. With this guide, you'll save days off of your leveling time, getting you to 60 in the fastest time possible! This guide is designed for new players and veterans alike, and you'll need it when faced with the difficulty of the original World of Warcraft. This guide contains both an outline of leveling by questing area and character level, as well as tips, tricks, secrets, and advanced techniques to speed up your leveling! If you want to quickly get into level 60 raids and dungeons, you'll need this guide! Why "World of Warcraft Classic"? Like many of you, I have fond memories of the original WoW and its Burning Crusade Expansion. I remember a time before instant gratification, achievements, and cross-realm group finder, where your reputation, skill as a player, and social connections mattered. When faced with the challenges of Azeroth, we all had to make friends and work together. With the return of classic WoW, we can all have that again: friendships that last beyond the game, instead of gear that is recycled with each content patch. Classic Wow is about quality over quantity. I have nearly 200 mounts on regular WoW, yet none feel as rewarding as my original level 60 mount. With this series of Guides, you can become that legend again or become a new legend, in the most important MMORPG of our time.
I made some route changes to the Horde levels 43-44 sections. I have swapped 44 Dustwallow Marsh with 44 Desolace (the entire sections). This allowed me to do Deadmire (at lvl 43 instead of 38) and then go stop at TB to turn in Deadmire + The Black Shield at the same time, then fly quickly to do the Desolace stuff. Doing 44 Desolace is now mandatory because I think its faster with the new routes. This will also make the level 53 grind much shorter. I think these were great changes.
Most heirlooms only work in a limited level range in their default form and must be upgraded to work at higher levels. That costs gold, and you'll need around 30,000 gold to outfit yourself with a fully upgraded set (counting only those that give you bonus experience). You may need to spend some time on a boosted character to acquire the gold you need to outfit another character with heirlooms, but it's well worth the effort.
Welcome to PeakOfSerenity's MIstweaver Monk Guide for Battle for Azeroth! This guide is meant to give a basic understanding of MIstweavers, with just enough information to get you started. For more in-depth information, follow the links listed in the "Further Reading" sections. Navigate between each section using the Table of Contents bar to the right of the main guide.
Instead, go to Timeless Isle and take the portal to Gorgrond. From there, fly to your respective faction starting zone(Frostfire Ridge or SMV), go to your garrison, and do the quests to unlock your garrison(A short quest chain beginning down near the water where you'd otherwise start after the Dark Portal scenario). For now DO NOT collect any more treasures than absolutely needed to buy 2 experience potions! Treasures continue to be worth superior exp/h all the way to level 104!!! You don't want to begin collecting them until lvl 100 or later.
Island Expeditions:[5] 3-Player co-op with optional 3v3 gameplay. Players will explore uncharted isles across the Great Sea. There is azerite and other unclaimed resources bubbling to the surface that is highly sought by both factions. Complete varied and dynamic objectives with a large variety of challenges to overcome. Race against advanced AI opponents designed to thwart players using tactical and strategic moves that consistently change. Optionally, players can choose to race against other players, creating a 3v3 PvP environment.
Footholds into enemy territories can be done as you grow in levels and should be completed before reaching Level 120. Take the time after completing your first zone to do your first foothold, or you can choose to complete one as soon as you gather your 100 War Resources which will prompt you to return to your mission table area where the first foothold quest can be obtained. Similar to how your initial zone selection was largely irrelevant, this selection is, as well. Simply pick one and complete it to earn your Mission Table second champion. Send your champions out on missions, recruit troops, and then head back out to quest in your second zone selection.
Dugi's leveling guide is the leveling addon I've always used to level as fast as possible. It will show you where to go and what to do in-game, speeding up the leveling process. This is optional though, as the game already does a pretty good job at showing you where to go at all times. The addon does, however, come with a couple of other nice features and perks.

7 Ways Tonight's New Moon In Virgo Can Help You Manifest Your Dreams
Time to pack up the summer cabin, leave the beach behind, and return to reality as the new moon in Virgo has us thinking about career, health, and service. As the sign symbolized by the Virgin or Maiden carrying a shaft of wheat, Virgo is the zodiac's purist and green thumb. Think carefully about what seeds you want to plant during this potent earthy lunation, and by all means use Virgo's efficient, methodical, and stabilizing sensibilities to fertilize them.
Here are a few ways to manifest the potent lunar potential of the Virgo new moon:
1. Go green.
Virgo is the zodiac's sustainable Martha Stewart, always looking to clean things up—but only in the purest, most nontoxic way. Your home may look and feel like a million bucks, but what products are you using to keep the place sparkling? Chemical-free cleaning supplies are readily available and can have you breathing easier. Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency found that indoor air can be as polluted as outdoor air? Not to skeeve you out (#VirgoProblems), but if you live in a busy, urban area, you might consider buying an air filter, which will remove allergens like dust, pollen, animal dander, and mold.
2. Be the change.
Mahatma Gandhi told us to "be the change we wish to see in the world" more than 70 years ago—and his words could not be more prescient today. During these times of political unrest and social conflict, it's tempting to withdraw into solitude—but that's not what benevolent Virgo wants (or, for that matter, what humanity needs). As quintessential Virgo, Mother Teresa said, "I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love." Those words have never mattered more. There's no shortage of great causes to contribute to—whether with time, money, or both. Help military veterans learn how to practice yoga through the Give Back Yoga Foundation or empower struggling students and entrepreneurs with microloans through Kiva. Studies have found that contributing to your community makes you healthier and less stressed—so what are you waiting for?
3. Make self-care a ritual.
Virgo is the sign of sacred self-care, and this lunar lift can level up your nutrition and fitness regimen. If chatty Mercury, Virgo's ruler, balks at going it alone, recruit friends (you can all put yourselves first together). Motivate each other along in a circuit class, meet for evening walks, or book a weekend fitness retreat with a few BFFs. Since methodical Virgo loves learning steps, try a dance class like salsa or tango. You don't have to sign up with a partner, and it could be a great place to meet one—just sayin'.
Virgo is the sign that rules pets, and your commitment could be simply to take your dog (or a borrowed pooch) for a long, mindful daily walk. If you keep a brisk pace, it's a great way to increase your heart rate and tap into some of the proven benefits of spending time with pets, like reducing stress and anxiety. In this interview with Oprah Winfrey, Eckhart Tolle explains how dogs and cats can help us become more enlightened. In his words, "I have lived with many Zen masters, all of them cats."
4. Learn to receive.
Yes, altruistic Virgo is all about selfless service and even sacrifice—but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make yourself a priority. As we've heard so many times during preflight announcements, we have to secure our own oxygen mask before assisting anyone else with theirs during an emergency. The spirit of service doesn't just flow one way. This new moon reminds us to be receptive to the kindness and generosity of others. How often do you catch yourself saying, "I've got it handled," or "I'm good!" when you're actually overwhelmed and on the verge of a stress meltdown? Under this new moon in humble, modest Virgo, be willing to wave the white flag and admit that you could use a hand. You know how good it feels to be there for others, so stop worrying about being a "burden" and give friends and family the opportunity to be there for you in return.
5. Empty your cup.
Is there clutter in your head, too? Zen Buddhists tell the story of Nan-in, a Japanese master who poured tea into a visiting professor' cup until it was full—and then kept on pouring. When the professor protested that his cup was overflowing, Nan-in told him that, like the cup, the scholar's head was full of opinions that made it impossible to show him Zen. First, he had to empty his cup. A cluttered mind leaves no room for peace and enlightenment. How about a clean sweep in the name of serenity? This new moon is an ideal time for starting an "emptying" practice. Apps like Insight Timer or Headspace offer a range of guided meditations, whether you only have one minute or 20. The Chopra Center's suite of 21-day meditations can bring the bonus of focusing on a Virgoan result like "Getting Unstuck" or "Miraculous Relationships." (Plus, who wouldn't benefit from listening to a daily download from Oprah and Deepak?)
6. Be good to your gut.
Virgo rules the small intestines and the digestive system, so now is the perfect time to implement a few gut-healthy changes to your diet. You can start by simply drinking a large glass of water (16 ounces if you can) every morning to help your body absorb nutrients and eliminate waste. Squeeze in some alkalizing lemon for extra measure. Seriously reducing your refined sugar intake and increasing your consumption of fiber-rich foods such as beans and nuts will go a long way toward reducing inflammation and balancing your microbiome. Introduce probiotic-rich fermented foods such as kefir, kombucha, and kimchi into your diet and consider intermittent fasting—giving your digestive system a break for 14 to 16 hours—so your gut can reset.
7. Practice anti-perfectionism.
Virgo is the innocent newborn, the pure and unspoiled being who has no sense of inadequacy. Alas, that sense of wholeness seems to be the hardest state for humans to hang onto. While this new moon can help us purify in healthy ways—through our diets, our intentions and the words we choose to use—it can be a slippery slope to perfectionism. Brené Brown calls it armor or, "a 20-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it's the thing that's really preventing us from flight." The simple act of making a gratitude list is a great start toward overcoming your inner critic, and affirmations go a long way as well. You are exactly where you need to be, and you're doing exactly what you need to be doing. Now breathe!

Abstract: This study investigated changes in performance and sex difference in top performers for ultra-triathlon races held between 1978 and 2013 from Ironman (3.8 km swim, 180 km cycle, and 42 km run) to double deca iron ultra-triathlon distance (76 km swim, 3,600 km cycle, and 844 km run). The fastest men ever were faster than the fastest women ever for split and overall race times, with the exception of the swimming split in the quintuple iron ultra-triathlon (19 km swim, 900 km cycle, and 210.1 km run). Correlation analyses showed an increase in sex difference with increasing length of race distance for swimming (r2=0.67, P=0.023), running (r2=0.77, P=0.009), and overall race time (r2=0.77, P=0.0087), but not for cycling (r2=0.26, P=0.23). For the annual top performers, split and overall race times decreased across years nonlinearly in female and male Ironman triathletes. For longer distances, cycling split times decreased linearly in male triple iron ultra-triathletes, and running split times decreased linearly in male double iron ultra-triathletes but increased linearly in female triple and quintuple iron ultra-triathletes. Overall race times increased nonlinearly in female triple and male quintuple iron ultra-triathletes. The sex difference decreased nonlinearly in swimming, running, and overall race time in Ironman triathletes but increased linearly in cycling and running and nonlinearly in overall race time in triple iron ultra-triathletes. These findings suggest that women reduced the sex difference nonlinearly in shorter ultra-triathlon distances (ie, Ironman), but for longer distances than the Ironman, the sex difference increased or remained unchanged across years. It seems very unlikely that female top performers will ever outrun male top performers in ultra-triathlons. The nonlinear change in speed and sex difference in Ironman triathlon suggests that female and male Ironman triathletes have reached their limits in performance.

The iOS update 11.4 is the official update of the current system for iOS devices iPhone and iPad, is update a sub is supposed to solve the problems of the system that creates them, a few days ago we spotted several problems in the battery and the speed of depletion on the number of phones the iPhone, and now there seems to be new problems, but this time related to the camera!
What happens to develop the camera?
The camera part is important and vital and many use smart phones and any problems it may be very annoying. A number of users noted that there were many problems during the use of the camera app after updating to iOS 11.4 and those problems are the following:
- Black screen when using the camera application does not disappear only after you restart the device.
- The inability of the camera to focus work
- The problem in development mode between horizontal and vertical.
- Problem in camera flash.
Apple's answer: we are working to solve the problem!
In a tweet on Twitter, a team of technical support in the Apple TV to thank to the users who reported the problem and pointed out that those errors are not normal and that Apple is currently working on a solution to the problem.
Also the technical support team provide several tips traditionally may contribute to solve the problem of the camera including the lens cleaning the machine, remove the protective cap if the back camera works, or restart the device.
Doesn't seem that those solutions may be very useful, and it is unacceptable to turn the user to restart his machine every time he wants to use the camera!
The iOS update 11.4.1 looks soon !
Work Apple TV is currently updating the new sub is iOS 11.4.1 to solve the problems of battery drain and that other problems in camera application. Perhaps the iOS update 11 is the worst ever in the history of the versions of the system in terms of the problems and errors all the time, and frequently, and hope it will not happen again with iOS update 12, which is currently undergoing under the experimental use before putting it in the month of September or October next.
Did you encounter any problems in the camera after the update to iOS 11.4 to? Tell us via comments!

Ireland is set to vote on extending presidential voting rights to the diaspora in October.
The vote had been long scheduled to coincide with local and European elections in May but has instead been postponed over continued uncertainty surrounding Brexit.
Irish citizens living abroad are currently unable to vote in presidential elections or in any referendum that takes place in Ireland.
If passed, it would mean Irish citizens living outside of Ireland would be able to cast their vote for the first time.
Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar told the Dáil (Irish Parliament) that extending the vote out to October will give the government more preparation time and a better chance to lay the groundwork for the vote.
"We want to win it," he said, insisting the government has "a better chance of getting it passed," if it takes place in the fall.
Nevertheless, Varadkar is facing an internal Fine Gael backlash with an increasing number of Fine Gael Cabinet ministers understood to be opposed to the motion over concerns about the impact it would have on other elections.
According to the Irish Independent, Agriculture Minister Michael Creed raised his objection to the referendum directly
with the Taoiseach at a cabinet meeting and other ministers said they privately agreed with Creed but did not speak up at the meeting.
"It is a nonsense idea based on something Enda Kenny announced when he was on a visit to America," a Cabinet minister said.
The growing resistance to the referendum within Fine Gael emerged despite the Cabinet agreeing to delay the controversial vote until October.

Do you trust Apple Store employees when they take away your phone to fix it?
Staff in a Brisbane Apple Store reportedly lifted photos from some Apple customers' iPhones and took more than 100 close-up and explicit photos of female customers and staff without their knowledge.
This raises both privacy and copyright issues. It is also creepy.

Applied to all areas with a slope of between 18 and 30 degrees.
Something I loved as we toured through the orchards and permaculture systems of Walkers Reserve was the abundance of the wild forested areas. It seemed that, climbing out of each of the valleys, were thick stands of natural forests, with a large variety of trees and layers. These forests provided such a beautiful compliment to the orchards and pasture systems weaving throughout. I learned that the forest supports the project in many ways, and also gives back to Barbados and the world by providing an important habitat on an island where undisturbed forest is quickly disappearing.
- To stabilize the slope and reduce erosion.
- To establish native forest species to support the viability of sensitive and endangered natives on the island of Barbados and provide a habitat for native fauna.
- The slopes are too steep for people to regularly harvest, maintain or build on it.
- The steep slope, without proper design, implementation and monitoring, tends to lead to erosion problems.
- Successive and dense plantings of deep-rooted vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides), fast-growing legumes and native forest species, will quickly cover the soil and protect it from erosion.
- The area will be planted up in native forest, including endangered species, so as to support the long term genetics of the Bajan forests and to provide a habitat for native fauna.
- These areas are also quite difficult to work on, and thus the planting patterns suggested for such an area should be one that requires minimal long term maintenance.
- Generally, being located above the available catchment ponds, will allow for there to be little access to irrigation.
- Slopes in excess of 18 degrees are not suitable for most forms of earthworks, including swales and dams, so infiltration will need to be encouraged through the dense plantings of on-contour vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) and living stakes.
- Over time, water filtration should increase as the forest develops and builds more organic matter.
- There is a multiple-phase plan for the planting of the site.
- In the first phase of planting, vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) will be densely planted on contour, at every foot of elevation.
- Between every other row of vetiver, we will plant gliricidia (gliricidia sepium), leucaena (leucaena spp.), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) and other fast growing species to set shade and start the long term process of fixing nitrogen. These plants will also provide a medium term source for chop and drop mulch.
- After the pioneer species plantings have established themselves, we will come back in and plant the native forest species on the rows not yet planted.
- When pre-existing species are already established on site, these can be used to our advantage to help us achieve our goal.
- Utilize them as shade and windbreak for the more sensitive long term establishment species.
- As the native species start to establish themselves, we may choose to use some of the opportunistic species as chop and drop mulch for the forest species.
- Selecting thinning and pruning is appropriate to establish more valuable long term species.
- No earthworks are recommended here, as the slopes are too steep for effective earthworks.
Landscape connectivity
- This pattern helps to connect various portions of the land with itself, and with the other surrounding land, in a number of ways:
- Wildlife corridors allow beneficial (and other) species to have safe passage to and from various locations around the land.
- The distribution of bits of wild native forest encourages native microbial life. This in turn helps the entire project to achieve better health.
- Native forest systems encourage birds. These birds play an important role in the distribution of seeds, by volunteering their help to ensure that our regeneration of Walkers Quarry is a success. Birds also play a contributing role via their supply of mineral rich manures.
- And finally, this pattern helps to connect Walkers Reserve with the global movement towards the re-establishment of native stands of trees for genetic diversity and global ecosystem health.
Phases of Development
- There is a multiple phase plan for the planting of the site.
- After the extraction processes are completed, we begin with the planting suggestions listed above at the onset of the rainy season.
Ongoing Management
- The idea with this area is that a minimal amount of long-term maintenance should be needed. In the interim however, some maintenance may be required to get to the desired long term native forest.
- The legume species should be chopped and dropped onto contour two or three times each rainy season, until the native species have started to dominate the zone.
- When the natives have started to take over, the legumes should be cut back to their base and laid down on contour. This should be repeated once a year until their growth is clearly no competition for the natives.
