The body of Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, one of Prime Minister Hun Sens most trusted allies, was cremated in front of dignitaries, monks and hometown admirers in an elaborate, if modestly attended, ceremony at Phnom Penhs Wat Botum Park on Sunday morning.
Sok Anwhose familys wealth seemed to grow in tandem with his public portfolio, which after about 35 years came to include a vast array of top government jobsdied on Wednesday of an unspecified illness at the age of 66.
After a traditional Buddhist blessing and a read-through of career highlights, National Assembly President Heng Samrin set the body alight, out of sight of the crowd, at the center of a triple-tiered crematorium erected for the occasion, sending a thick black pall into the sky.
My family and I are very proud and honored at this time because all of you came to participate and recognize the achievements of Samdech Vibol Panha Sok An in the government led by Samdech Hun Sen in the cause of serving the national interest, Sok Ans son Sok Puthyvuth said in a brief eulogy.
My family and I will seek to preserve the achievements of Samdech Vibol Panha Sok An because of a desire for the country to progress, he said.
The honorific Samdech Vibol Panha, which translates roughly as Greatest Brilliant Intellect, was bestowed upon Sok An just days before his death by King Norodom Sihamoni, capping a career in government that began immediately after the Khmer Rouge fell in 1979.
Sok An became chief of cabinet at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in 1982, three years before Hanoi made Mr. Hun Sen prime minister, and continued to climb the ranks until the position of minister in charge of the Council of Ministers was created specifically for him in 2004.
He was among the governments chief negotiators in peace talks that led to the signing of the Paris Peace Agreement in 1991, led Cambodia in talks with the U.N. establishing the Khmer Rouge tribunal and spearheaded the countrys successful campaignin the face of stiff resistance from Thailandto list Preah Vihear temple as a Unesco world heritage site.
Among the audience of mostly government officials, civil servants, monks and nuns, a few dozen senior citizens also made the trip to Phnom Penh from Sok Ans home base in Takeo province.
I think His Excellency Sok An was a good government official because he built many schools and canals for the poor people in Takeo province. His Excellency Sok An would bring gifts and money for the poor people when he came to visit the area, Yin Yi, 73, said.
To his critics, however, Sok An was part of a tight-knit elite that has consolidated its control of a corrupt and kleptocratic government with the help of deeply rooted patronage networks and sometimes brutal force, all while securing their personal fortunes by installing their children into the same political power grid.
For all his influence and titles, the crowd that followed the early morning funeral procession from Sok Ans central Phnom Penh mansion to Wat Botum Park was relatively smalla few thousands mourners followed the flag-draped coffin as it wound around the Independence Monument along emptied streets. Few came out to watch the cortege pass by.
The numbers paled in comparison to the mass of mourners that thronged the capitals streets for the funeral procession of Kem Ley, the political analyst and outspoken government critic who was gunned down inside a Phnom Penh convenience store in July, in what many believe was a politically motivated hit.
When his body was driven out of the city later that month, tens of thousands followed, choking its main thoroughfares for hours. Thousands more had lined the route in a show of support for a man many admired for his straight talk about what he saw as the governments abuses of power.
A few months later, the government refused a request to hold the traditional 100 day ceremony for Kem Ley at Wat Botum.
In contrast, the state set aside about $750,000 to stage Sundays cremation of Sok An, a sum that quickly sparked outrage on Facebook from critics of the ruling party.
On Saturday, Senate President Say Chhum issued a statement in his capacity as CPP vice president to say that the money had been returned to the state coffers and that the ruling party would cover the costs on its own.
On Sunday, CPP spokesman Sok Eysan denied that the public outcry had anything to do with the decision to return the funds and that the $750,000 was always intended to be a loan that the CPP would pay back. Mr. Eysan did not mention that the money was a loan when he said it was coming from the state last week.

1. To progress more rapidly than usual
The Georgia Organics Farmer Fund Accelerator will combine tailored on-farm investments with a customized coaching program to help selected farmers grow into a more financially sustainable operation more quickly than usual.
The Accelerator will provide selected farmers with business & financial consultants, marketing & sales experts, loan and leasing coaches, and production consultants, combined with up to $10,000 in support per farm in the form of paid apprentices, marketing materials, infrastructure and equipment investments, and health insurance premium cost-shares.
After an application is accepted, farmers will go through an intake process that will evaluate strengths and opportunities to determine the level and types of support a farm needs to truly prosper. Next, farms will be paired with their coaches and consultants and will have up to 20 hours of pre-paid consultations with those experts.
The Accelerator is free for selected Georgia Organics members and lasts one year. Accelerator alumni are eligible to apply for an additional year's worth of support. Two years is the maximum length of time that farmers can be accepted into the program.
The application is free, but is slightly more complex than, say, an application for a Conference scholarship, and that's because we will need more information than usual to make sure your operation is a good fit for the goals of this program, and to make sure we pair you with the right coach on the right topic. If farmers have a preferred coach other than the ones being provided, Georgia Organics will default to the coach of the farmer's choice.
At least 50 percent of accepted members will be members of historically disenfranchised communities.
Farms cannot be in the Georgia Organics Farm to Restaurant program and Accelerator program at the same time, but both are available at separate times. The Accelerator program will accept about 10 farmers a year.
Georgia Organics Commitment to Cohort Members
Accelerator coaching available – 8 to 20 hours per farm.
- Business, accounting, taxes, and financial. Coaches to choose from include Ellen Pollishuck, Debbie Dangerfield, and Julia Shank.
- Branding, marketing and sales. Marketing firm partners include Melissa Libby and Associates.
- Loans and leases. Legal practitioner partners include The Turner Environmental Law Clinic at Emory University and The Law Farm with Michelle Namer.
- Organic certification. Coaches to choose from include Georgia Organics staff, and Natural Born Tillers' Cory Mosser. Please note that Georgia Organics already provides cost shares for achieving organic certification.
- Food safety. Coaches to choose from include Georgia Organics staff, National Farmers Union staff, and UGA and Georgia Dept. of Agriculture staff experts.
- Organic Production. Coaches to choose from include Georgia Organics staff, and Natural Born Tillers' Cory Mosser.
Accelerator investments available – $500 to up to $9,650. (Accepted farmers are eligible for some or all of the following support.)
- Apprentices – $6,400 per farm ($10/Hour x 40 Hours/Week x 16 Weeks)

- Health insurance cost-shares ($1,000/Year per farm, or $83.33/Month)
- On-farm infrastructure and equipment – up to $1,000

Cohort Member Commitment to Georgia Organics
- Farmers complete the application and answer any subsequent follow-up questions for admission.
- Farmers complete the USDA NIFA Farm and Ranch Health Assessment survey, with Georgia Organics staff support, prior to joining the program
- Farmers commit to spending the infrastructure funds only as outlined the Accelerator plan created with Georgia Organics staff.
- Farmers who utilize Apprentices follow a provided basic curriculum that ensures an employee's progressive education in sustainable agriculture.

White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are the cells of the immune system which our body produces in order to fight against the foreign objects and infectious diseases. There are five different types of white blood cells, and they are all produced from a hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow. Leukocytes are found all the way through the body, in the blood and lymphatic system. The blood measurements and total count of the number of white blood cells is one of the most accurate indicators of the disease. White blood cells normally occupy 1% of whole blood mass, and are usually found in a range between 4×109 and 1.1×1010 in a liter of blood. Elevated levels of white blood cells are called leukocytosis, while the condition characterized by the low white blood cell count is known as leucopenia.
Leucopenia, a decrease in the number of white blood cells, is also known as leukocytopenia. This is a potentially serious condition, which puts patients at an increased risk of various infections. A subtype of leucopenia, characterized by the decrease in the number of circulating neutrophil granulocytes, the most abundant white blood cells, is known under the name neutropenia. Sometimes, doctors will speak about the leucopenia in the terms of neutropenia, since this is the most important sign of an infection risk.
Causes of low white cell count
Low levels of white blood cells are often associated with certain medical procedures such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In some cases, low white cell count occurs as a result of leukemia, when malignant cells overwhelm the bone marrow, interrupting the normal course of blood cell production. Low levels of white blood cells are sometimes caused by myelofibrosis and aplastic anemia, failure to produce blood cells and platelets.
Low white cell count can also be caused by various diseases and infections including simple influenza, certain types of cancer, malaria, tuberculosis, and enlargement of the spleen, psittacosis and sepsis.
Certain bad dietary habits can sometimes result in low white cell counts, since they are associated with copper and zinc deficiency. This condition is sometimes caused by certain medications such as clozapine, which affects total absence of all granulocytes, immunosuppressive drugs, medications used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, antidepressants, medication used to treat smoking addiction, and minocycline antibiotic.
Condition known as pseudoleukopenia is when the leukocytes are marginalized in the blood vessels so that they can scan for the site of infection. If this is the case, the total number of white blood cells will be increased, but it will appear low in a blood sample, since the sample of blood does not include these marginalized leukocytes.

It is established that modern-day businesses must have an online presence in the form of websites. These days' customers buy a product or hire services only after visiting the business website. A well-designed websites draw traffic and increase business. At the same time, a poorly designed website drives the traffic away and in return you lose business.
So, it is important to hire professional web designing companies that specialize in website creation tools like NJ WordPress.
In this article, we will be seeing 5 important benefits of hiring a professional web designing company.
Five important reasons for hiring a professional web designing company
#1 To create a high- quality website
The first important reason for hiring a professional website designing company is to create a high – quality website that attracts traffic. Using free templates for websites may not prove to be beneficial as they are basic and pretty much repeated.
Website creation contains various features like adding content, images, header, plug-in, and codes. A professional web designer would have the ability to navigate through these features and create a site, which is unique and functional.
#2 Customizing the website to suit the business
Every business is different and hiring a professional web designer will help you customize a website that suits the needs of the business. A web designer would have a lengthy conversation with his clients and understand the priorities of the client. The ultimate goal of a web designer is to transform the clients' requirements into the working site.
#3 Keeping up with the technology
The next important reason for hiring a professional web designer is to keep up with the changing technology. New innovations and up gradation in technology gives birth to various new tools and codes. A professional web designer would keep himself updated with these changes and adopt them in creating a unique and professional site.
#4 Design of the website is more dependable
One other important reason for hiring a professional web designer is that it is more simple and reliable. A professional web designer would be equipped with the required tools to fix the problems that may arise at the time of website creation. They ensure the site created by them is protected against online attacks and crashing.
#5 An advanced website that is highly compatible
The main reason for creating a website is to increase traffic and business. But a slow loading website loses traffic as it takes time to navigate through it. A web designer would know what tools to use to increase the speed of the site. NJ WordPress is a professional web designer, who creates websites that work faster as they adopt advanced features and plug-ins.
Apart from the advantages mentioned above hiring a professional web designer has various other advantages. A professional web designer takes care of all the activities involved in creating a website such as a layout planning, appearance, SEO content development, and usability and thereby reducing the stress of a business owner.
In conclusion:
Some business owners are still refusing to see the advantages of hiring a web designing company. A poorly maintained website damages your business. Whereas, a professional and UX designed website helps in running a business efficiently bringing in success and revenue. To sum it up, hire a professional web designing company that can represent your business effectively online by creating a functional, good and easy to use website.

Frederick Childe Hassam (1859-1935)
Frederick Childe Hassam (1859-1935)
One of Boston's best known Impressionist painters, Childe Hassam was raised in Dorchester and took drawing lessons from Walter Smith, Director of the Massachusetts Normal Art School. He began his career as a commercial illustrator and watercolorist beginning in 1877, all the while taking painting lessons from Boston painters Ignaz Gaugengigl and William Rimmer. After a trip to Europe in 1883, Hassam returned to Boston and began painting street scenes, capturing the genteel urban residents of his hometown. He married Kathleen Maud Doane just a year later, and departed for Paris with his new bride for a three-year stay from 1886 to 1889.Contact Vose about this artist
Read more about this artist...
While abroad, Hassam studied figure drawing at the Académie Julian, settling into a downtown apartment and fully immersing himself in Parisian life, purposely avoiding contact with other visiting Americans. Greatly disappointed in the Académie's rigid emphasis on mechanical drawing over expressive originality, Hassam withdrew from his training program in the spring of 1888. Working independently from this point forward, Hassam greatly increased his productivity and sought out new motifs from his surroundings. He was drawn to the imagery of cab drivers and followed the city's racing circuits, executing a number of oils of the Grand Prix races. By the end of the decade, Hassam had discovered his bright impressionist palette, and he took to creating small-scale en plein air studies with a great enthusiasm.
Hassam moved to New York upon his return from Europe in 1889, although he maintained his ties to Boston throughout his career. He soon connected with the New York art community, becoming a member of the American Water Color Society, the Society of American Artists, and a founding member of the New York Water Color Club. The fixation on urban life that he developed in Paris continued at home with paintings of the familiar brownstones and narrow streets of his native Boston and the parks and bustling avenues of a burgeoning New York. The latter city especially dominated his work during the 1890s as he explored unique perspectives and compositional formats as well as impressionist brushwork and color, elements he would employ on a return voyage to Europe from December 1896 to the fall of 1897.
In 1897, Hassam helped form the Ten American Painters, an exhibition group consisting of notable American Impressionist artists, including William Merritt Chase, Willard Metcalf, Julian Alden Weir, and Boston painters Frank W. Benson and Edmund Tarbell, among others. This distinguished group exhibited together in New York between the years of 1898 and 1919, purposely boycotting the Society of American Artists. While the skyscrapers and city life of New York provided interesting subject matter, Hassam continued to search for more painting destinations and from 1890 to 1919, he and his wife spent the warmer months exploring the picturesque towns of New England, including Gloucester, Appledore Island off the Maine/New Hampshire coast, and the artist colonies of Cos Cob and Old Lyme, Connecticut, returning to the city for the colder seasons. Hassam had some of the strongest influence on his contemporaries during his stays in the Connecticut artist colonies, for he introduced the bright tones and pointillism of the French Impressionists and helped to phase out the muted tonalism previously known to this area. He also explored the idyllic town and gardens of East Hampton on Long Island and eventually purchased a home there in 1919.
Prolific for much of his career, Hassam exhibited with the National Academy of Design and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and on a local level, Hassam was also a long-standing member of Boston's Paint and Clay Club, the Boston Water Color Club, and the Boston Art Club, where he exhibited his paintings from 1881 until 1900. Several museums acquired his paintings during his lifetime, including the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Carnegie Institute, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and today most major collections count among their holdings examples of Hassam's work in oil, watercolor and graphite, underscoring both his versatility and his distinguished place in the annals of American art.

text: The tone of his voice rarely fluctuating, advocate Paul Pretorius has spent much of the past year navigating South Africa through the treacherous maze of state capture. He has done so with measure, control and a stern hand. He has been a cicerone, guiding us into the crevices and corners where the most astonishing corruption lurks, into the cul-de-sac of Gavin Watson's Monopoly money cash safe and leading us through the clandestine backroom exchanges, illuminating how the Guptaleaks came to light.As the landmines exploding at the Tiso Blackstar offices in Braamfontein ripple across the country, it is his deferential approach, his slow and measured movements, that brings a sense of calm to the proceedings. He has joined the dots of complex graft, pointing out the signposts of collusion and compromise along the way, stressing the seriousness of the situation, but without ever sounding the alarm. It makes the 69-year-old's selection as evidence leader and head of the legal team an inspired one by Deputy Chief Justice Ray Zondo. It's as if Zondo knew we would need a steady hand to hold the fragility together when the skeletons began tumbling out.SA's Robert MuellerThose who know him best say he doesn't see himself as a charismatic corruption buster. He is reluctant to stick his head out above the parapet or elevate himself above his team, although he has allegedly faced some dissent from within his ranks. Pretorius subscribes to an ethos reminiscent of that of US special counsel and Trump investigator Robert Mueller, the master of silence. As Mueller speaks through his indictments, Pretorius is speaking vicariously through his witnesses' testimony. (For the record, he declined a request to be interviewed for this article because he is restricted by bar council rules.)"He's a very astute fellow, very moral. He's not dynamic and he's not terribly charismatic but you couldn't have higher integrity. I wasn't surprised at all that he was made evidence leader. It made perfect sense," a senior counsel tells me about his long-time associate. Pretorius is held in the highest regard by his colleagues at the bar as a "true gentleman".But beyond the composure, the temperament and the intellectualising round spectacles, is a complex, layered history peppered with surprising nuggets - from banning orders, to rugby games with Steve Biko, more than one marriage, a brief sojourn as a record store owner, sinister threats, a quirky, sandpaper dry sense of humour and even a gold Cannes Lion. An Anglicised AfrikanerPaul Pretorius' father gave his male children two choices, engineering or law, and he chose the latter. It wasn't surprising, as his father too was in the profession. He was an advocate practicing in Durban and had served in World War 2 as a judge advocate, presiding over court-martials in North Africa.Pretorius grew up in a white family in a white suburb and attended a school that was white in name at the height of apartheid. He was an Afrikaner in Durban at a time when Afrikaners were in the minority and there were only a handful of Afrikaans schools there. But his family were not nationalists and his parents evidently thought it better that he attend an English school, and so he was enrolled at Marist Brothers in Natal which was run by a Catholic order of Brothers."My parents followed the social norms in Durban which were largely English, although my parents were Afrikaans. So any liberal influence would have come from my schooling. I recall sort of anti-government sentiments, although I'm not quite sure where they came from," Pretorius said in a 2007 oral history project interview.When he finished school he went to the South African Navy Gymnasium where, if it moved, he saluted it and, if it stood still, he polished it. But it was at the University of Natal the following year where he experienced his first political activism. He quickly noticed that there were different sorts of moral parameters. Pretorius was recruited into the SRC, largely for the rugby playing lobby he brought with him. (I'm told he played hooker in the days that hookers had to hook, but he was too light for the position). Despite photos of him from that era depicting a shaggy haired, good looking jock, he was never a stereotypical long-haired liberal student activist. He did become the SRC president and found himself more and more politically active, joining Nusas, the National Union of South African Students and later also becoming president of this organisation. Nusas was founded in 1942 and was a liberal left-leaning student union whose members subscribed to non-racialism and non-sexism. However, he never joined a political party or ever carried a party card. It was not in his nature to subject himself to a discipline imposed on him by others. It made him feel too restless.Playing rugby with BikoWhile he was SRC president at the University of Natal, the Black Consciousness Movement and the South African Students Organisation were born just a few kilometers away at the University of Natal Medical School. It was here that Pretorius came into contact with Steve Biko and other student leaders. He recounts how at a conference in the late 1960s, where Biko came to announce his departure from Nusas and the formation of SASO and the BCM, Pretorius supported him against a more liberal leaning grouping which was resistant to racially separate organisations. SASO advocated a black identity, not the multi-racialism supported by Nusas, of which Pretorius later became president.When he was a student at the University of Natal, Paul Pretorius organised an interracial rugby match between white and black students. Pretorius played hooker; Steve Biko is the player right at the back, at the top of the photograph.When Biko left the conference, after the resolution had been passed, he gave Pretorius a note and he said, "Thank you, Paul for your support", and walked out. The two also organised a rugby match between the campus on the hill and the campus down in the valley which the police and politicians took an active interest in. Pretorius was criticised and condemned for this.In 1973, Pretorius was banned by the government of hardline premier John Vorster. The government appointed the Schlebusch Commission to investigate Nusas and other organisations. It laid the groundwork for a clamp down on these groupings and their members, and eight leaders from Nusas were banned in terms of the Suppression of Communism Act of 1950. Pretorius sent his banning order back in an act of protest. Ironically, after he was banned, he read his first Marxist book and used the time to catch up on leftist literature.At the time, he was in Cape Town working full time for Nusas, having pushed pause on his law degree and the result was that he was confined to the Cape Town city area. To maintain contact with students at UCT, he opened up a record bar in Rondebosch which he cheekily called "Cold Storage", while the government kept him on ice. Pretorius finished his law degree via correspondence and returned to Durban to care for his sick father. He began to practice law, doing work mostly for the trade union movement. Working with Chaskalson, Kentridge and apartheid dirty tricksBut in 1981, Pretorius' legal career took a deviation towards public interest law as he spent several formative years at the Legal Resources Centre in Johannesburg, in the company of legal luminaries like Arthur Chaskalson and Sydney Kentridge. It was during this time, working alongside Charles Nupen and Geoff Budlender, that he dealt with some trials that were "horrific and tension-filled". It was also during this period that several incidents occurred that led him to feel fearful for his personal security.A newspaper cartoon showing Paul Pretorius handing over his passport to apartheid premier John Vorster. Pretorius was banned by Vorster in the early 1970s.While on holiday in the Cape with his then wife and kids, Pretorius, a keen marathon runner, went for an early morning run and when he returned saw a couple kissing next to a big American car. Later that morning, he took the kids for a drive from Hermanus to Gansbaai and, while they were deciding whether to stop in Stanford for coffee, he geared his Jetta down. But when he pumped the brakes with his foot, there were no brakes. He pulled into a nearby garage and his son Sam, who endearingly refers to his father as "Paulie", said "Paulie, the bonnet is bubbling". The family watched from the pavement as the Jetta went up in flames. Pretorius subsequently discovered that the brake fluid had been tampered with. Another time, he was driving in Brixton in Johannesburg when his wheel axle clean fell off his car. It had apparently been fiddled with too.In his oral history interview, Pretorius plays down these suspicious incidents and rather contemplates how the apartheid government successfully put on a show of being a benign state, which was both supported and exploited, but at the same time was cruel and oppressive. He references one of his favourite authors JM Coetzee's description in Waiting for the Barbarians of the benign magistrate and the brutal colonel who both prop up the same regime: "I was the lie that the empire tells itself when times are easy, he, the truth that the empire tells when harsh winds blow."State capture and being called a 'bastard' by MalemaAs evidence leader at the state capture inquiry, Pretorius must be aware that the job he is currently doing could again be placing him and his family under the personal threat which he experienced during the 1980s. It also didn't help when EFF leader Julius Malema took to a podium outside the commission and called him a "bastard" for not aggressively cross-examining Pravin Gordhan. Apparently, Pretorius didn't take the abuse all that personally as he understood the politics at play and bearing in mind that his is an inquisitorial role, not an adversarial one. There's a reason this lawyer collects bonsai trees. A rarity amongst senior counsel at the bar, Pretorius is without all-consuming ego. His old friend and colleague, anti-apartheid lawyer Peter Harris, who credits Pretorius with igniting his political consciousness and setting him on the path of student activism, describes him as "understated".Paul Pretorius was banned by the government of John Vorster in the early 1970s. He was one of a group of "undesirable" student leaders from Nusas, the left-leaning students' organisation established to voice resistance against apartheid."He has a formidable intellect and is an exceptionally meticulous and thorough lawyer. He's very quiet and is not a flamboyant, ego driven lawyer, but he more than gets the job done. He's a listener rather than a talker, which is a bit odd for a counsel," jokes Harris. "If he does anything, he does it well. The first time he ran the Comrades, he got a silver, which is pretty exceptional."Without fail, Pretorius' colleagues and friends revere him for his integrity and credibility. But not all men can be without "smallanyana skeletons". In this man's case, it would seem these lurk in the cupboards of his personal life, where he is fallible, rather than in the professional realm. He has been married more than once and has three children. There's another fabulous tidbit of trivia to share here. Do you remember the 1998 Reach for A Dream advert with the shy, hesitant St John's boy who returns to school after fighting leukemia? The one where all the kids have shaved their heads in solidarity and take off their beanies as he walks in? That leukemia survivor is Sam Pretorius, Paul's son. He now lives in Australia, healthy and teaching. The ad won a Gold Lion at Cannes. Pretorius keeps the Lion as a reminder of Sam's bravery in beating leukemia.Why Zondo chose himDuring his career as an advocate, Pretorius has earned a reputation as a peacemaker, intent on seeking resolution rather than sewing division. He edited a book on dispute resolution and was keenly involved in the Independent Mediation Service of South Africa (IMSSA), a non-profit organisation offering mediation and arbitration services.Don't be mistaken though, he's not all pacifist. I've heard him be described in counsels' chambers as one of the finest cross examiners at the bar. "He's not a pit bull in the sense of a criminal lawyer, but he's extremely effective," said one colleague. "He's not antagonistic and not vociferous, but if he disagrees with you, he will be at the forefront of the criticism," said another. A glimpse of that instinct and his unwavering commitment to social justice was on show this week as he confronted ex-Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi about his revolting racist rant recording. There have been moments during the commission that Pretorius has had to temper himself as he has reigned in difficult witnesses, particularly Agrizzi. But throughout he has remained deferential to Zondo, respecting the chair. That is probably because the two go back a long way. Their paths crossed when they were both working at IMSSA as dispute resolution specialists. It's probably why Zondo called Pretorius to put his name forward for the job of evidence leader, a position which those close to Pretorius say he feels fortunate and privileged to have been entrusted with. He understands the gravity of this work.As the face of the state capture commission, Paul Pretorius is doing a job on behalf of the country. He meticulously walks each one down a very deliberate, carefully thought out path. He takes us all along on the difficult journey of understanding just how deeply our country has been compromised and captured. It is his job, on behalf of us all, to coax, to lure and to extract the truth from each witness so that we fully comprehend how cheaply South Africa was sold. It is a lifetime's work culminating in this: choreographing the catharsis.

Context: People ask what are my intentions with my films — my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer: I try to tell the truth about the human condition, the truth as I see it. This answer seems to satisfy everyone, but it is not quite correct. I prefer to describe what I would like my aim to be. There is an old story of how the cathedral of Chartres was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Then thousands of people came from all points of the compass, like a giant procession of ants, and together they began to rebuild the cathedral on its old site. They worked until the building was completed — master builders, artists, labourers, clowns, noblemen, priests, burghers. But they all remained anonymous, and no one knows to this day who built the cathedral of Chartres. Regardless of my own beliefs and my own doubts, which are unimportant in this connection, it is my opinion that art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship. It severed an umbilical cord and now lives its own sterile life, generating and degenerating itself. In former days the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God. He lived and died without being more or less important than other artisans; 'eternal values,' 'immortality' and 'masterpiece' were terms not applicable in his case. The ability to create was a gift. In such a world flourished invulnerable assurance and natural humility. Today the individual has become the highest form and the greatest bane of artistic creation. The smallest wound or pain of the ego is examined under a microscope as if it were of eternal importance. The artist considers his isolation, his subjectivity, his individualism almost holy. Thus we finally gather in one large pen, where we stand and bleat about our loneliness without listening to each other and without realizing that we are smothering each other to death. The individualists stare into each other's eyes and yet deny the existence of each other. We walk in circles, so limited by our own anxieties that we can no longer distinguish between true and false, between the gangster's whim and the purest ideal. Thus if I am asked what I would like the general purpose of my films to be, I would reply that I want to be one of the artists in the cathedral on the great plain. I want to make a dragon's head, an angel, a devil — or perhaps a saint — out of stone. It does not matter which; it is the sense of satisfaction that counts. Regardless of whether I believe or not, whether I am a Christian or not, I would play my part in the collective building of the cathedral. Four Screenplays of Ingmar Bergman (1960).

Adam Bede (1859), Context: These fellow-mortals, every one, must be accepted as they are: you can neither straighten their noses, nor brighten their wit, nor rectify their dispositions; and it is these people — amongst whom your life is passed — that it is needful you should tolerate, pity, and love: it is these more or less ugly, stupid, inconsistent people whose movements of goodness you should be able to admire — for whom you should cherish all possible hopes, all possible patience. And I would not, even if I had the choice, be the clever novelist who could create a world so much better than this, in which we get up in the morning to do our daily work, that you would be likely to turn a harder, colder eye on the dusty streets and the common green fields — on the real breathing men and women, who can be chilled by your indifference or injured by your prejudice; who can be cheered and helped onward by your fellow-feeling, your forbearance, your outspoken, brave justice. So I am content to tell my simple story, without trying to make things seem better than they were; dreading nothing, indeed, but falsity, which, in spite of one's best efforts, there is reason to dread. Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult. The pencil is conscious of a delightful facility in drawing a griffin — the longer the claws, and the larger the wings, the better; but that marvellous facility which we mistook for genius is apt to forsake us when we want to draw a real unexaggerated lion. Examine your words well, and you will find that even when you have no motive to be false, it is a very hard thing to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings — much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.

— Sri Aurobindo Indian nationalist, freedom fighter, philosopher, yogi, guru and poet 1872 - 1950
Indian Spirituality and Life (1919), Context: To the Indian mind the least important part of religion is its dogma; the religious spirit matters, not the theological credo. On the contrary to the Western mind a fixed intellectual belief is the most important part of a cult; it is its core of meaning, it is the thing that distinguishes it from others. For it is its formulated beliefs that make it either a true or a false religion, according as it agrees or does not agree with the credo of its critic. This notion, however foolish and shallow, is a necessary consequence of the Western idea which falsely supposes that intellectual truth is the highest verity and, even, that there is no other. The Indian religious thinker knows that all the highest eternal verities are truths of the spirit. The supreme truths are neither the rigid conclusions of logical reasoning nor the affirmations of credal statement, but fruits of the soul's inner experience. Intellectual truth is only one of the doors to the outer precincts of the temple. And since intellectual truth turned towards the Infinite must be in its very nature many-sided and not narrowly one, the most varying intellectual beliefs can be equally true because they mirror different facets of the Infinite. However separated by intellectual distance, they still form so many side-entrances which admit the mind to some faint ray from a supreme Light. There are no true and false religions, but rather all religions are true in their own way and degree. Each is one of the thousand paths to the One Eternal.

The universe is flux, life is opinion. ~ Marcus Aurelius
They should call the good man an ass ! They should call the bad ass a man ! ]]Ironically]] ... to speak thus of you, so smart, friend of the old and the young, of the stream and the butterfly , of the sun and the dog , of the flower and the moon , patient and thoughtful, melancholic and lovable, the Marcus Aurelius of the fields…juan ramón jiménez
The lesson Buddha and Aurelius had taught centuries earlier: "Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it".
It is a bitter thought, how different a thing the Christianity of the world might have been, if the Christian faith had been adopted as the religion of the empire under the auspices of Marcus Aurelius instead of those of Constantine.
If we begin with certainties, we shall end in doubts; if we begin with doubts, and are patient, we shall end in certainties. ~ Marcus Aurelius
A man should be upright, not kept upright. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear. ~ Marcus Aurelius
selected by Nanobug 2004 A man should be upright, not kept upright. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius more deeply versed in the wisdom of his time, ... or more single-minded in his devotion to it when found let him abstain from that assumption of the joint infallibility of himself and the multitude, which the great Antoninus made with so unfortunate a result.

Broken seed stitch socks pattern has been floating around Ravelry long enough to get 1794 people knitting them and 2961 people wishing they were. But it took a glance at SusanBAnderson's post to send me flying to my stashed odd-ball sock bag. (I KNOW there's something in here that will work....I just know it.)
Phew. There was.
Oh, wait! This might also work!!!
No, focus. FOCUS.
(double) Phew. I got that out of my system. (I can crank out a sock in pretty good time when I really want to!!!!)
One sock will do for now. Not a second-sock-syndrome problem here, since I had no intention whatsoever of even making a pair of socks. I just had that uncontrollable NEED to try that pattern out. (It was rather satisfying, though, to see something nice emerge from scraps of yarn that I thought had no future.)
So, as I'm sitting here----trying to figure out how best to make this confession of my errant mindfulness ways....
I ALMOST missed this!!!!
It's s-n-o-w-i-n-g!!!

Microchip Trust Platform for IoT security
Hardware-based security is the only way to protect secret keys from physical attacks and remote extraction, but extensive security expertise, development time and costs are required to configure and provision each device. Manufacturers typically have only been able to support configuring and provisioning for high-volume orders, leaving companies with low- to mid-sized deployments with low-performing options.
To address this need in the mass market, Microchip has introduced what is claimed to be the industry's first pre-provisioned solution that provides secure key storage for low-, mid- and high-volume device deployments using the ATECC608A secure element. Microchip's Trust Platform for its CryptoAuthentication family enables companies of all sizes to easily implement secure authentication.
The Trust Platform consists of a three-tier offering, providing out-of-the-box pre-provisioned, preconfigured or fully customisable secure elements, allowing developers to choose the platform best suited to their individual design. The first tier, Trust&GO, provides zero-touch pre-provisioned secure elements with a minimum orderable quantity (MOQ) as low as 10 units. The second tier in the program, TrustFLEX, offers the flexibility to use the customer's certificate authority of choice while still benefiting from preconfigured use cases. For those who would like to entirely customise their designs, the third tier in the program — TrustCUSTOM — provides customer-specific configuration capabilities and custom credential provisioning.
Microchip worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable a straightforward and simplified onboarding process into AWS IoT services for products designed with all variants of the Microchip Trust Platform.

Spent my weekend to go through E4 and E5, with around 20-30k resources (no bauxite of course) and around 200 buckets, I used my bucket for all repairs, even with minor damage so it drains more than expected. Thankfully RNG and compass goddess smile on me during the event, and my late start gave me more information such as branching rules and the use of type 3 ammo, so I don't have to begin from scratch.
Two Agano pop up in E5 boss node… beside Yuugumo, I got Hatsukaze too (forgot to screencap), so I am free from 3-4 and map 5 grinding, great !

I'll be traveling around the united states for a few weeks and will post updates here occasionally. for pictures and things instagram is the place. I've also got a publicly controlled spotify playlist set up for while I'm on the road and have signal, the password to get in is
update august 19
I've added a breakdown of where I have been so far. the spotify jukebox in practice has been difficult to coordinate from the road, but thanks for participating if you have.
I'm in Michigan now and from here on will be bouncing between cities with a few campsites here and there. In a week I hope to be camping at Acadia if I can get in.
A few different people have asked me if I felt I've had enough time at places to really enjoy them. I've intended this as a sort of survey, and baring a few places I feel like I left with a good sense of them and a desire to return and do them properly. There is a point where you start to short out on beauty after being immersed in it for so long, but I still feel good about the plan.
People have also asked if I've gotten lonely out on the road, and I have to say at least for the solid 2 weeks I was alone, not really? I did get tired of my own company but what I felt more was appreciation for the people in my life that'd I'd get to return to. Also, you know, instagram.

The Village
Just about 46 miles to the south of Munich and about 6 miles north-east of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is the village of Oberammergau, set in the lush meadows and foothills of the Bavarian Alps. The village has grown up alongside the River Ammer and today is home to some 5,300 inhabitants.
It is a pretty village, with leafy parks and typical Bavarian houses – their carved wooden balconies and gardens bright with summer flowers. Many of the buildings are noted for their very special and ornately painted exteriors, some of them dating back to the 18th century. These Lueftlmalerei, or frescoes, are usually religious themes or scenes from fairytales.
Oberammergau is famous for its woodcarvers and its Passion Play, performed every 10 years in the purpose-built theatre. There are regular guided tours of the theatre. Also worth a visit are the Pilatushaus to see craftsmen at work and the museum with its fine examples of folk art and woodcarvings and its unique collection of Hinterglasbildern – paintings on the back of glass.
The villagers are passionate about music and theatre; apart from folk groups, the village also boasts a brass band and orchestra as well as a choral and music society.
Apart from being rich in art, culture and tradition, Oberammergau also has the friendliest of people and a great reputation for hospitality.
Oberammergau Passion Play
About half the inhabitants of Oberammergau take part in the once-a-decade Passion Play.
This means that over 2,000 villagers will bring the story of Jesus of Nazareth to life for audiences that flock in from around the world. Using the impressive open-air stage, the play lasts five hours.
The play starts with Jesus entering Jerusalem, continues up to his death on the cross and finishes with his resurrection. As ever, this is an extraordinary community effort. Rehearsals last ten months. Already working on the revised text are the villagers selected to play Jesus and Mary, Pontius Pilate and the apostles, the priests, soldiers and children. The orchestra and the choir are studying the memorable score, composed in the 19th century by Rochus Dedler, again a resident of Oberammergau.
When they come together, their devotion and talent retells the story of Jesus, with a message that gives hope and strength to millions.
The Kofel
From the top of the Kofel there are fantastic views of Oberammergau and the surrounding valley. At 1341m it is not a particularly high mountain but the Bavarian Alps are noted for their craggy appearance and the Kofel is no exception. The word 'kofel' was the Celtic word for a cone-shaped mountain indicating that this area was once home to a Celtic tribe.
Today, topped by its cross, it is a favourite destination for hikers. There are a number of hiking trails leading to its peak; the shortest trail taking some 45 minutes. However, that is far too slow for some of the folk from Oberammergau and the surrounding villages. They prefer to run to the top! Some of the actors in the famous Passion Play are so fit they can reach the summit in less than 20 minutes.
Traditions abound in the mountains. For instance every year on August 24th the Kofel is lit up with flames from a huge bonfire and a crown blazes on its peak commemorating the birthday on August 25th of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
The Pilate House
The Pilatushaus (Pilate's House) on Verlegergasse, Oberammergau is a superb example of Lueftlmalerei (fresco work). The exquisite designs and skilful trompe l'oeil depicting illusory balconies, balustrades and columns along with scenes of the resurrection of Christ, were created by the acknowledged local painter Franz Seraph Zwinck who lived 1748-92.
On the ground floor of the Pilatushaus is a workshop where craftsmen and women take turns producing and demonstrating traditional handcrafts using skills that have been used for hundreds of years. Examples of their work can also be purchased in the shop. In days gone by itinerant traders would have taken their goods and sold them throughout Europe, thus spreading the fame of the Oberammergau workers.
Painted Houses – Lueftlmalerei
Lueftl (Luftmalerei) fresco paintings are the characteristic decorations on houses in Alpine regions. They date back to the 18th century when wealthy merchants, farmers and craftsmen showed their wealth and status with colourful frescoes on the façade of their houses. The paintings often incorporated existing architectural structures, such as windows or doors, or took the form of medallions or scenes from the Bible, fairy tales or folk festivals.
The most famous Lueftl painter was Franz Seraph Zwink (1748-1792) who lived in Oberammergau for many years. He lived in a house called 'Zum Luftl' which could be where the word lueftl comes from. Other theories as to the origin of the word include it being connected to the word luftig (fast) or luft (air) – the frescoes being painted in the open air.
Whatever the origin of the word there are many stunning examples of Lueftl work to be enjoyed in Oberammergau.
The Museum
The history of the Oberammergau Museum dates back to the year 1905 when in 1905 the Oberammergau retailer of handcrafted goods, Guido Lang (1856-1921), commissioned the Munich architect Franz Zell to design and construct the museum.
In 1910, the "Verleger Lang'sches kunst- und kulturgeschichtliches Oberammergauer Museum" (the Retailer Lang's Oberammergau Museum of Art and Culture) was opened. This unique ensemble was acquired by the local council in 1953 and in the years that followed was considerably expanded.
The main emphasis of the Oberammergau Museum is on woodcarving. Carving has been carried on in Oberammergau for over 500 years, and so the collection displays a wide range of examples of art and handicrafts from gothic to modern times. In the largely authentically maintained and historically furnished rooms on the first floor – the museum in the museum, so to speak – a wide variety of toys, figures of saints, crucifixes and delicately carved genre scenes are on display.
The exhibition "The 20th Century" shows exhibits of contemporary woodcarving, modern sculpture and painting. It is supplemented by media presentations and a databank in which over 1400 Oberammergau carvers and artists are registered.
The Crib Collection includes magnificent Oberammergau cribs, such as the famous historical church crib on which generations of local carvers worked and which King Ludwig II once admired.
In 1955 the local council acquired a large part of the important collection of verre églomisé works (pictures behind glass) belonging to the Murnau master brewer Johann Kroetz (1858-1919) to add to the numerous verre églomisé works that the museum already possessed.
Hillernschloesschen (Hillern Palace)
Above, on a hill, the villa of Frau von Hillern – a very famous German writer – stands out. The owner, who could not resist the bewitching influence of the Play in 1880, erected the house at considerable expense, and has now beg me with heart and soul an Ammergauer. Of all the thousands who have viewed the Play not one has, like her, gone so far as to sever all ties with the outer world, and to settle here in the Village.
In the place, where the magic of the Passion Play had taken hold on her in all its force. And now she lives summer and winter up there, the precipitous Kofel and the north in front of her, and in her heart an ideal to which she will remain true until the end of her life.
Farther in front, to the right, at the foot of the Villa Hillern, is the house originally inhabited by Thomas Rendl who, besides his trade of carver, also tills the post of concierge at the Villa Hillern. This house is now the Villa Asih.
The Ammergau Alps
Thousands of visitors flock to Oberammergau every 10 years to see the village's famous Passion Play.
However, even when the Play is not being performed there is plenty to see and do in this pretty village and the surrounding Ammergau region.
Oberammergau is situated in Bavaria, in the south of Germany, near to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, famous for its winter sports attractions such as skiing or ski jumping, with the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, and the Austrian border a few kilometres away.
Close to Oberammergau are a number of enchanting lakes, like the Staffelsee or Kochelsee, set amidst the beautiful Bavarian scenery.
There is also the church of Wies (Wieskirche) in Steingaden, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. The former abbey of the Steingaden Premonstratensians was founded in the 12th century. The somewhat plain exterior of the church does not prepare the visitor for the splendour and magnificence of the rich and shimmering interior.
Also high on the list of places to visit are Ettal and Linderhof Palace and for sheer relaxation one of the region's spas.
Ettal, a small village with 850 inhabitants, is located just five kilometres from Oberammergau.
Ever since the Holy Roman Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian founded the monastery in 1330, Kloster Ettal has been the cultural centre of the Ammer River valley. The Benedictine Monastery where some 50 monks still live and work is also home to two schools, a brewery and a liqueur distillery. Guided tours are available.
The Distillery
Medieval monks were experts in growing healing plants and in the skilled hands of the cloister pharmacist these plants produced remedies both for monks and ailing pilgrims. The tradition of the distillery continues today with the monks producing a variety of herbal teas and delicious liqueurs – all to secret recipes. They also have created a range of colognes.
The Brewery
In Ettal brewing the 'liquid bread of Bavaria' boasts a continuous history of more than 400 years. Today, the beer that originally served the needs of the monks and pilgrims, has grown in popularity and is now enjoyed worldwide. Brewed from the crystal clear waters from the Ammer Mountains and selected locally grown ingredients, Klostierbier ranks among the prize winning specialities of the monastic brewing tradition.
The Basilica
This beautiful Gothic church with its later Baroque additions is at the heart of the monastery complex and well worth a visit. Visitors should note its powerful Baroque dome crowning one of the masterpieces of Bavarian Rococo and its tiny exquisite Madonna and Child statue.
Linderhof Palace
Linderhof Palace and gardens a few kilometres from Oberammergau was built for King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Like his other two castles it has a romantic and dreamlike quality and is said to be the King's favourite.
King Ludwig was fascinated by the mystical world of the Orient, the romantic age of chivalry and above all the splendour of the Bourbon court. At Linderhof he set out to recreate the palace and gardens of Versailles, the magnificent residence of the Sun King, Louis XIV.
The building developed around the forester's house, the 'Alpine Hut' that belonged to his father Maximilian II and used by the king when, as crown prince, he accompanied his father on hunting trips. The palace took only four years to build as Ludwig wanted it finished as quickly as possible. Technicians were brought in to speed up the transportation of building materials and at times as many as 180 people were working on the site. Even the growth of the park trees was accelerated by means of extra fertilization – provided by some 100 cartloads of cow manure a year.
With its Baroque parterres, Renaissance-style terraces and English landscape-park to say nothing of inspiration from French and Spanish gardens Linderhof is one of the finest examples of the mixed-style garden.
Ludwig II had a profound influence on life in the Ammergau Alps and Linderhof Palace and its gardens is an impressive example.
The Spas
The healing power of nature – straight from the earth: that is what the towns of Bad Kohlgrub and Bad Bayersoien, about 15 kilometres north of Oberammergau represent.
Both towns, known as WellVital towns, offer high levels of relaxation and treatment. Bad Boyersoien opened as a sanatorium in 1968 and an official spa resort in 1996. Bad Kohlgrub received its spa status in 1948.
The mountain pine moors from which the peat mud is extracted is renowned for its medicinal, relaxing qualities and when combined with exercise and good wholesome food help to create a healthy and relaxed body. Both resorts offer a variety of treatments such as full body massage, beauty treatments and aromatherapy as well as a vitalising water treatment.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is still riding high in the charts, as players comb through New Orleans in search of action, adventure, and of course, treasure. You always need to make a lot of money in the game if you want to pay off bounties, buy upgrades for your camp, or just get yourself a less-dead horse, and a good way to get a ton of cash quickly is with the Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes treasure map.
The Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes treasure map is one of the few treasure hunts in the game. It's a little less difficult than the Jack Hall Gang treasure map mission, but can be a little harder to get hold of in the first place. Still, it's very lucrative. We'll show how to get the map, all the various treasure chest locations around New Orleans, what you get for completing it, and what to do with that.
Where to Get the High Stakes Treasure Map
One of the toughest parts of the Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes Treasure Map mission is getting hold of the map in the first place. It's actually a random event, and you may need to be on to Chapter 3 before you can get it at all. You can get it through a Stranger side-mission that will appear on the map, but as it's a random event it's a bit more difficult.
You'll need to be exploring the area between Valentine and Strawberry in order to make the event happen. The Stranger is most likely to appear in the surrounding area around Cumberland Falls, Wallace Station, and where the Diablo River is marked on the map. Keep riding around and you'll eventually find a bearded and rather rough-looking treasure hunter. He'll be carrying a treasure map, but he'll ping on your map. Approach him, greet him… and the dude will run off, yelling at you. Lasso him, tie him up, and loot him for the Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes treasure map. You can then either let him go, kill him, or leave the cursing hunter tied up.
Incidentally, if he gets away from you, or you've been doing something else when you encountered the guy and couldn't go after him, don't worry. You'll have two more chances to encounter him and catch him. If you lose him three times, then simply head to one of the four Fences in the game (Rhodes, Saint Denis, Van Horn Trading Post, Emerald Ranch) and the first treasure map should be there to buy. It's pretty cheap fortunately, but then it's cheaper to catch the treasure hunter in the first place, of course.
Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes Treasure Map Location 1
If the first map shows a familiar scene, it's because you should be right next to it, assuming you didn't buy your map from a Fence. It's Cumberland Falls, right next to Wallace Station and a short way west of Valentine. The arrow on the first treasure map points to the right (east) side of the falls, with you facing it, so head there and either stick to or cross over to the right. You'll notice a fallen tree sticking into the waterfall here. Get on and walk across this log bridge and it'll lead you behind the waterfall into a cave. Head to the back of the cave and you'll find the second part of the High Stakes treasure map hidden behind a rock. Examine the area and you'll be ready to tackle the next part.
Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes Treasure Map Location 2
The second treasure map shows a lake next to a hut and a mountain. Not much to go on, but luckily we're here to help. The lake is actually Barrow Lagoon, east of Mount Hagen in Grizzlies West, and it's directly north of your previous location at Cumberland Falls (and north-west of Valentine). It's pretty far north though, nearly to the chilly area you started the game at, so make sure you have your warm coat with you (we're not joking, that matters in Red Dead Redemption 2).
You'll find the lagoon is actually frozen over at this point. That white island in the center of the lagoon is in fact a large round rock, which you can see in both sections of the second treasure map. The treasure is just behind it, between the rock and the hard place (or mountain, more accurately). You'll see another snow-covered log bridge between the mountain and the rock. Head around and on to the log. This time what you're looking for is actually on the log bridge itself. Halfway across it you'll spot a hole. Examine it and you'll find the third and final treasure map.
Red Dead Redemption 2 High Stakes Treasure Map Location 3
This is the hardest one to get, which is appropriate since it's for the High Stakes treasure itself. The third map shows a winding path between two mountains, near some sort of fort. This is Fort Wallace, near Bacchus Station, and it's directly east of your previous location at Barrow Lagoon. You can take that winter coat off now. The treasure is tricky to find, but it's very close to where you found the rock carving for the Geology For Beginners hunt, if you've done that one.
Head up the big hill to the left of the words Bacchus Station. Head down the path on the right side facing the bridges, past a single tree. Head down and left, on to the rock shelf. If you haven't got the rock carving it's right here. Head up, and drop down at the end, and again, and then jump up a ledge and crouch around the corner. There'll be a little hole here in the rocks that you can examine, so keep an eye out for it.
Inside you'll find three gold bars. These can be sold at a Fence for $500 each, so you'll be $1,500 richer once you do. We told you this quest would be lucrative. Now, did we remember to untie that guy? We're sure we did…
