On August 3, 2019, the city of El Paso, Texas lived the horror that towns across America pray will never befall them. The El Paso shooting, purportedly a hate crime targeting diverse ethnicities, claimed the lives of 22 individuals and wounded a number more. For such a tight-knit community, this tragedy was felt by all. For the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) this was a rallying cry; an opportunity to celebrate the very thing that bound that community together: its diversity.
On August 31, 2019, the UTEP Marching Miners performed a halftime show at their home game against Houston Baptist titled "Celebrating El Paso." Dr. Andrew Hunter, Director of Athletic Bands for the UTEP Marching Miners, explained that they "wanted the world to see that we are stronger than ever in our resolve to celebrate the various cultures in our region." And band together, they did!
According to Dr. Hunter, this performance was not the intended show for the August 31 game day. He explained that the entire game day community thought it would be "meaningful to celebrate our city and its culture" as opposed to their intended show. The performance was designed to fill the field with diverse artists that are part of the fabric of the community. He explained that this was an opportunity to send a strong message that ALL of El Paso was in this fight together. Dr. Hunter envisioned a performance that included the Marching Miners, all local school districts, and local community groups.
The team cast an "all-call" to local community entities, hoping as many as possible would agree to be a part of the performance. Dr. Hunter hoped that as he pulled through for his community, his community would pull through for him.
This all occurred right as our school year began, so the school groups in particular had every viable excuse to decline. Still, [the community] of El Paso responded to the call and came through for their city."
The community presence on the field was astounding! The halftime roster included 500 marching performers, 1000 including the cheer and dance groups who performed prior to the band's show! This included:
The repertoire for the performance included 2 traditional mariachi tunes, La Negra and Mariachi Loco, and the UTEP Fight Song.
Dr. Hunter emphasized that his students are always open to new ideas. "That said," he continued, "mariachi music is NOT an easy [genre] for a large ensemble to perform." He explained that the style is ambiguous, with intricate techniques and vocals. But his students worked vigorously on the music and drill. And if coordinating 500+ performers to play in sync doesn't seem challenging enough, UTEP only had 45 minutes to rehearse as a full community ensemble!
He thanks his team, Dr. Curtis Tredway, former Director of the Marching Miners, for arranging the music on such short notice, and Leslie Lopez, the UTEP dance coach, for choreographing the show!
So how does a community overcoming tragedy not only bring the game day hype to the stands, but also show support to their halftime performers? They roar! Dr. Hunter explained that the performance was "unlike any other I have every experienced." For the students, the impact of what they were doing didn't fully hit them until they entered the field at halftime. "The crowd roared before we even began playing," Dr. Hunter exclaimed!
For the band, it was important to be able to respond to the tragedy in some meaningful way. "For us to be able to take the field and perform this traditional music with our community partners," Hunter explained, "and have our crowd sing and dance along was extremely meaningful for all of us. It has truly changed the course of our program for good."
The community truly pulled through for their band, their football team, and for each other. The shared support lived by the entire stadium DID send a strong message. The video of the performance spread worldwide. Dr. Hunter received correspondence from strangers who shared the video on their own channels and talked about the impact the performance had on them personally. That was the most meaningful aspect for him.
Dr. Hunter sums the message up perfectly.
We are grateful to have been a small part of the larger community response to this violent act. Someone came to El Paso...to stifle who we are as a community...because they believed that our country is weaker when we are diverse. We know that our city, state, and country are not weakened, but strengthened by our diversity. We celebrate that diversity, because it is a large part of what makes El Paso one of the greatest cities in the United States of America!
When an individual stands up to adversity with professionalism, resolve, and dignity, it shows courage and strength. When an entire community rallies together to show they are stronger than that adversity, it creates waves that cannot be calmed. The Marching Miners sang their call to arms, and their community sang back in response. They proved that through music, dance, and fellowship, any hardship could be won. It will not fix the wrongs of the past, but it can pave the way to a stronger, more hopeful tomorrow. It is that #bandtogether resolve that shows the true character of a community.
If you know a band or color guard program that extends beyond their program, that represents their band as leaders in the community, and that is a true steward of the activity, we want to highlight them. You can reach out to us via personal message on Facebook (Director's Showcase) or Twitter (@DShowcase). Help us spread the #bandtogether story.

Lo, Chang Chin (2007) Profiling innovators in Kota Kinabalu: A study of self concept and impulse buying behaviour. Masters thesis, Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
Download (2MB) | Preview
This study aims to establish the profiles of the innovators in Kota Kinabalu from two perspectives, self-concept and buying impulsiveness. A mall intercept survey was conducted in April 2007 in the various shopping centres located in urban Kota Kinabalu. A total of 158 questionnaires were collected for this study. The analytical plan involves using independent t-tests, bivariate correlation, multiple regression and hierarchical regression. This study found that the self concepts of innovators and non-innovators are indeed different. In particular, innovators tend to think of themselves as delicate, unpleasant, unorganized and irrational. This study also found that consumer innovativeness does have a significant influence on buying innovativeness and that innovators tend to be impulsive buyers. In examining the moderating effect of the demographic factors on the relationship between consumer innovativeness and self concepts, this study found that age is a significant moderator for only a pair of self concept adjective pairs, i.e. pleasant-unpleasant, amongst the 15 pairs used. On the other hand, gender and age are found to have significant moderating effect over the relationship between consumer innovativeness and buying impulsiveness.

Customer Service
PIA offers customer support one way. You can click on its "contact us" button at the top of the page which will forward you to a form where you enter your information and question. I tried this late on a weekend evening and I received a response in less than 10 minutes. I was able to use that email to go back and forth a few more times to get my follow-up questions answered. While it was not as quick as a chat option, using the contact us forms still drove a very timely and quick response. However, what I would have liked to see is a live chat option so I could interact with customer service immediately.
Another thing that's a real positive for PIA is its large database of questions and answers that I could go digging through as well to get answers to my questions. I have no complaints with PIA's customer service.
PIA is priced to encourage users to buy the 1-year package because it is discounted so much from the monthly or six-month subscription. PIA has three pricing tiers. Its monthly price is $6.95/month, the six-month subscription comes to $5.99/month which is a 14% savings off of the monthly rate. But the really significant savings come when you purchase the yearly subscription with pricing at $3.33/month. It is a 52% savings from the recurring monthly rate. You have to pay for the six-month subscription and annual subscription all at one time in order to get the better pricing. PIA is definitely encouraging its users to purchase the yearly subscription with a price reduction of over 50% from the regular monthly rate.
Refund Policy
PIA requires its users to purchase the VPN service but offers a seven-day trial period during which you can receive a full refund of your money. In order to request a refund you have to submit it in writing within the first seven days of your purchase. You can request a refund by either filling out a form available on the website or emailing customer service directly.
To Purchase Private Internet Access go here.
PIA offers 13 different ways to pay for its VPN service. These mainstream payment options include PayPal, Visa and Mastercard. iTunes, Google Play and Amazon payment services can also be used to pay for access to PIA VPN services. Bitcoin can also be used to pay for a subscription. PIA offers a really cool option to help protect the privacy of its clients: you can pay for your subscription with major brand gift cards like Starbucks and Costco. The only caveat with the gift cards is that you cannot use them for recurring payments. You would have to manually go back in and reenter the gift card's information either monthly, semi-annually or annually.
PIA offers servers based in 24 countries and 5 continents around the world, although the majority of them are located in Europe. The country with the most servers is the USA. PIA uses the following three encryption protocols to protect its clients' data: OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP/IPsec.
I conducted speed tests of PIA's service using the following three websites: speedtest.net, speedtest.org and speakeasy.net/speedtest. I have linked below to a video showing the speed tests between the three sites. I did two speed tests per site. They were completed once before PIA's VPN service was launched and after it was launched. This was done to show how much PIA's VPN caused the download and upload speeds to slow down.
PIA Speed Test Video
Below I have included the screen shots from each of the three websites. The images display the results for the speed tests before PIA's VPN was turned on and after it was turned on.
Speedtest.org – Before Launch
Speedtest.org – After Launch
Speedtest.net – Before Launch
Speedtest.net – After Launch
Speakeasy.net/speedtest.net – Before Launch
Speakeasy.net/speedtest – After Launch
Summary Chart
I have summarized the results for the three websites in the chart below.
In summary we see a slight difference between the download speed before and after PIA VPN was launched. The download speeds were slowed down on average 0.59Mb/s. The upload speed difference was negligible at 0.07Mb/s. My internet provider has a download speed of 6.0Mb/s, so on both accounts — before and after the launch — the download speeds from my internet provider are better than what I am paying for. That is what I like to see: overdelivering on a service. You will never see me complain about getting better service than what I am paying for.

IP Location
For this test I used the website iplocation.net (an aggregate site featuring five websites) to test how well the VPN server was hiding my location. It worked in every case but one. The location that I had selected showed that is where we were surfing from. The one time it didn't work completely was when I picked California as my server location. It showed on iplocation.net's website that one of the five websites was actually coming from Florida instead of from California. The IP location was still hidden so I am not too concerned about this. It just wasn't showing consistency with this one server. The other three server locations were showing consistency between the five websites found on iplocation.net.
PIA IP Location Video
For this test I started off using Montreal, Canada as my first server location. After that I moved it over to Turkey, then New Zealand and finally California. Below you will find screen shots showing three of the five websites showing the IP locations of the servers chosen for the test.
Montreal, Canada
New Zealand
California, USA
I highlighted the one instance of the server not broadcasting from the correct location above in yellow and you can see it is indeed showing Sarasota, Florida. But as discussed above, I am not worried about this because it is still hiding my location but is not consistent with the location of the chosen server.
Platforms Supported
PIA is supported across all of the major operating systems. They are supported by Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It has apps available in the Apple and Android stores. Windows can be set up without too much trouble as well.
DNS Leak Test
I tested the chosen server in the US Midwest to see if they were showing we were broadcasting from multiple servers or just one server. This is done to protect our true location. If we are showing more than one server in this test our location is not truly hidden. It could cause services like Netflix to detect that we are not where we say we are and thereby impinging upon its terms of service. This test is done by using the Domain Naming Service (DNS) to see where we are broadcasting from. Below I have included screen shots from each of the websites that I was using to validate the DNS test as well as a summation chart of the results for easier review.

Future builders and homebuyers are not always under pressure. Anyone who embarks on a search for suitable mortgages in good time can look around for the right real estate loan.
Some take advantage of this opportunity and sometimes even wait in a targeted manner – in the hope that interest rates could fall within the next few days or weeks, which will make financing cheaper.
Potential buyers should keep one thing in mind
The market can also move in the other direction, which threatens to increase mortgage rates. In recent weeks, however, the market has remained extremely stable.
Overall, only relatively weak interest rate changes were observed. Who has waited, lived through a relatively quiet time, the interest rates are basically the same.
Interest rates can also rise
Whether market rates will fall is hard to say. Meanwhile, the downward trend seems to be stopped, a few months ago, the construction field was already cheaper.
Especially since the US is coming to the fore: The bond purchases of the Fed should be discontinued, which speaks in the medium and long term for rising market interest rates.
Nevertheless, the market as a whole is difficult to estimate, so prospective borrowers are generally well advised not to take too high a risk. Especially since the current mortgage rates are very attractive anyway. If you take out a loan financed on first-class terms – the long-term historical comparison confirms this.
Think of the loan comparison
By the way: more important than the time of the contract is the interest rate comparison. Significant interest rate differentials may exist between the terms of individual banks. Only if loan conditions are comprehensively compared in advance, a guaranteed favorable loan comes within reach.

Norway's oil and gas company, Statoil, disclosed how much money it paid to the governments around the world in 2014. The 35-page report called "2014 – Payment to Governments" is an unprecedented publication of the details of the remittances made by an oil company in all countries where it operates: Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, Libya, Nigeria, Norway, Russia, the UK, the US, and Venezuela. Statoil says that the main reason behind this move is its struggle to make revenue legislation more transparent. The company, however, believes that a global standard for revenue is more important. According to the report, the EU Transparency Directive requires Member States and EEA countries to introduce related legislation by 1 January 2016. The first reports should be handed in a year later. Norway adopted such a law already two years ago.
The payments to governments can generally be divided into a number of categories: taxes, royalties (usage-right payments), license fees (right to use a geographical area for exploration), bonuses (sums to be paid when discovering natural resources or when production starts), and host government entitlements (a host government's share of production or other ownership rights). Based on the report, after Norway, Statoil's second largest recipient of payments is Angola followed by Azerbaijan and Nigeria. In Angola, Statoil's personnel are the most significant contributor to the company's output outside Norway. Moreover, Angola is the backbone of the company's international output growth.
In Azerbaijan, Statoil's operations are also significant. The firm participates in the production in Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli field. Moreover, it co-runs the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, which runs from Baku to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. In Nigeria, Statoil is a large player as well owning a 20 percent share in the country's biggest deep water oil production field Agbami. Yet, Nigeria imposes also so-called "education tax" on the companies operating in the country. Last year, Statoil had to pay 360 million Norwegian crowns just to cover this tax.

Centre for Workforce Intelligence (CfWI) -
This report outlines the interim findings from Horizon 2035, a piece of work which aims to consider how a series of challenges and opportunities may combine in the future and impact the health, public health and social care workforce. It finds that based on our current understanding, we are projecting that demand for health and care skills could grow more than twice as fast as overall population growth by 2035. Much of this growth is driven by increasing healthcare and support demands associated with long term conditions. This relates both to the ageing population and a projected increase in prevalence across age groups. The initial results also suggest that the future profile of demand may be profoundly different to the picture of demand today. For example, growth in demand for lower 'levels' of skill – such as those associated with unpaid care, support carers and NHS bands 1-4 - are projected to substantially outstrip growth in demand for higher skill levels associated with medical and dental professionals.

2-Cell Li-ion Battery Protection ICs
Ricoh's 2-cell Li-ion/polymer battery protection ICs have a high accuracy. Especially R5462 Series have a high accuracy over-charge detection of10mV in a temperature range from 0XC to 50XC.
TIN GExternal thermistor connection pin.
RIN: External resistor connection pin.
Ps: P-channel source pin for over-charge alarm output*
In the R5464K, the source of AOUT is Ps pin, not VDD pin. Therefore, the external pull-down resistor, R6 does not have an impact on the drop out between a plus terminal of a battery pack and a VDD pin. Thus, R6 value range is wide enough to choose. *)Products built-in the Alarm output pin(AOUT): R5461K, R5464K, R5466K
Alarm Function
When cell 1 voltage or cell 2 voltage exceeds the alarm threshold voltage (VALML), an alarm signal will be present at the AOUT pin. If the detection temperature of thermistor exceeds 45XC, the alarm detect voltage threshold changes to VALMH. (The detection temperature can be changed)*)Products with alarm output controlled by an external thermistor.:

Miami Vice
Miami Vice, like Superman Returns, is another movie title that brings back memories. Very loosely based on the 80s TV series, the it's about two cops with the Miami PD and their lifes and work with big guns, fast cars, faster boats and hot babes - except for one of the main characters, for some reason.
Miami Vice takes you straight into the action, no ten minute sequence with a long list of names you really couldn't care less about reading anyway. It's not until the end credits you're actually made aware of the fact that you've been watching Miami Vice for the last two hours and fifteen minutes. While we're talking about time; Michael Mann could probably have cut the movie down by at least thirty minutes without loosing much of the story. This actually seems to be the main issue with movies these days, there are simply too long.
I like Michael Mann's camera work during action sequences. Hand held cameras gives you a better feel of the (maybe-not-too-realistic) action sequences and makes it seem less like a movie and more like the real thing. What I also like is the sound track. Mann is obviously a Audioslave fan and the tracks used for the movie mostly blend nicely in with what's going on on the silver screen. During the action sequences, Mann also removes all the background music, as opposed to other directors, who tend to cram in as much music as possible. This works very well because it creates an extra element of tension.
The movie has what I would call a semi-open ending and it wouldn't surprise me if we can go see Miami Vice 2 in two or so years.
Even though Miami Vice won't be receive the Movie of the Year Award for 2006, it's still worth the money. I recommend going to the movies to see it, if it's too late for that, make sure to catch it on DVD and to turn up the volume during the action sequences.
Views on the Miami Vice goes from bad to worse amongst the internet's movie besserwissers (a group that includes myself from now, I guess). You find a lot of them over at IMDB. The post "WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!" (registration required, I'm afraid) says it all. It's also a good peek into the internet movie know-it-all community.
Everyone's a critique, you know.

Soundless Speakeron August 6th, 2013
It's become abundantly clear that our cats enjoy wires of a certain gauge that's almost universal to speakers of various types. My cheap computer speakers which I've had since freshman year of college (a few years before I even started this comic) finally kicked the bucket after succumbing to the teeth of our delightful kitties. Actually only one has fallen victim because it had a wire which connects it to the other. So I have sound in one speaker. At this rate the only speaker in the apartment still capable of emitting sound will be my alarm clock which is probably over 20 years old now.

Book review: The Ghost Map, Steven Johnson
The story of the cholera outbreak in Victorian London that led to the complete revolution - or even creation - of the modern city infrastructure. At the time of the outbreak, the city sewage system was little more than open ditches and piles, sometimes to the height of the surrounding buildings, of refuse and excrement. Contemporary medical wisdom was that disease was spread through the foul stench in the air - miasma.
Through the efforts of Dr. John Snow and the local parish curate, they were able to track the source of the outbreak to a pump in the city's fouled water system. This mapping technique for disease led to modern understanding of the importance of a clean water system, infrastructure design, sanitation, disease mapping and was even an early precursor of Google Earth and its like.
Johnson manages to keep a truly disgusting subject interesting. Although he does tend to be repetitive and descriptive (even my stomach turned a couple of times), he keeps the interest level high enough to get you past the detailed descriptions of filth and squalor.
Not for the faint of stomach, but still an interesting read.

Ladies, whether you admit it or not, at some point in your life you have felt small or weak, where you stayed quiet, couldn't say or do anything at that point.
Do you want to be confident and fearless? – Pick up martial arts and train regularly. Don't forget proper diet and adequate rest!
Still need more reason to pursue martial arts? Keep on reading then!
1. It teaches you self defense
This could be "THE BEST REASON". What better reason do you need, when learning martial arts teaches you how to defend yourself from some dangerous situations. Your safety and security should be your number one concern, and carrying weapon (even though it's not legal in Bangladesh) won't do you much good if you don't know how to wield it! Having the knowledge to save yourself or someone else should be considered an asset.
2. It makes you more confident
Having the knowledge of self defense will instantly boost your self confidence! Why? Because now you have the knowledge to successfully fend of attackers. It'll make you more relaxed and eased. You'll experience a new level of power.
3. You start getting in shape and loose that excess fat.
Martial arts classes may not be a walk in the park, but all the effort you will give in the class and your home, all the repetitive movement will not only make you strong and lean, it will shed all the excess fat out of your body slowly over the long run. All the hard work you put into it will reward you with an amazing physique which the special someone in your life will admire.
Did you know an hour of Taekwon-Do can burn up to 1000 calorie?
4. Your body language changes, you look like a woman with power.
Your new training regimen, new lifestyle, new physique will have a positive effect on your body postures. You'll stand tall and walk like the woman in charge. Not only will you look fit, you'll feel fit and strong!
This is the self confidence that people will see in the new you!
"Spending on self improvement is never an expense but an investment." – Minhaz Remo
5. You'll make some awesome friends.
In a martial arts class, you'll meet an array of people from different background. Everyone has something to teach. You may meet a lot of different people but all of them share the same goal, to be a weapon.
You'll brush up on your social skills, since you have to constantly be in contact with your coach or fellow martial artist!
6. It teaches you discipline
Martial arts require a huge amount of dedication, if you want to master it. There is no end to learning. This new lifestyle and routine will snap you into a more disciplined lifestyle, where you maintain your diet, training, and every other habit.
7. It teaches you mental toughness
Patience is the number one thing you'll learn, after every time you fall. You'll learn to be persistent, never to give up and mastering failure.
8. It's a great stress reliever.
All the butt kicking and sparring will regulate all your stress, and keep you calm and relaxed in your hectic lifestyle. Not only will you learn to deal with frustration from few failures, you'll learn how to deal with it.
I just scratched the surface. There are many other reason to pursue it. The takeaway here is that martial arts will make a better version of you with all the discipline and philosophical teaching. It'll empower you and make you stronger both internally and externally!
Are you ready to be the strongest and healthiest version of yourself? Learn more.

Pencil holly branches are bowing
Branches are falling to a horizontal position and will not remain vertical.
From this picture it would appear they have grown pretty wide.
They need to be pruned in order to gain stability.
Prune back any branches leaning out or crossing over.
Prune them all the way back to within an inch or so of the main branch.
Prune the top and sides every 2 to 3 months during the growing season while the plant is young. This will force the plant to build stronger stems below and as the plant gets taller and larger it will be able to support itself.
Only use a slow release fertilizer, this will make sure the shrub doesn't grow to quickly from a quick shot of nitrogen.

text: The politicians say that to be all good, the society this having more access the health, the hospitals is offering more assistance to the devoid population, ranks offering each time more gratuitous remedies, assistance medicates to domiciliate for those people that cannot dislocate to a hospital and others, bad will be that we need this service when only arrives time of politics? Because the health alone improves when this arriving time of election, later that all return to prop zero passes this phase. To our representatives I leave one here I appeal: it does not think about the people alone at time of politics not! It also thinks after it, I find a lack of respect with the Brazilian people! A person arrives at a health rank or in a hospital to consult and they do not obtain, speak that she does not have doctors, comes back tomorrow! Or daqui2 the 3 days or more. It's believed that Dr. John Mcdougall sees a great future in this idea. She will be that the disease who the person passes at that moment can wait? My son this with fever; he has now comes back to the afternoon this in lack of professionals or not it has remedy, a total inegligncia with the Brazilian people. To the times we have fear of adoecer, the hospitals are not in passing more to that confidence, imagines to arrive at a public hospital, I say public hospital because the rotten one appeals it, with a serious problem and not to be taken care of as this happening for there facing enormous lines! To need to dislocate itself for another city will be that km will support a trip of 2 3 or ties more? Running the risk still of not being taken care of again? To see a relative its to die without attendance I medicate, for the hospital not to have resource or structure to take care of it? You appeal to the SUS THAT IS ALL WE FOR RIGHT, it you have not covered a consultation or a particular examination that you need to make at that moment, to the times you cover more delay one year or you tie more, the health plan that obtains to pay with difficulty to the times has not covered.

Hi all. I had a great book launch last night at Murder by the Book in Houston. I signed quite a few copies of TRUST ME for them to sell, so if you want a signed copy, please contact them and they'll be glad to send you one or even more. Get your Christmas shopping done early, I always say.
Just did a great lunch event at the Marble Falls Library. Marble Falls is a beautiful little town in the Hill Country about 40 minutes outside Austin. The lunch group at the library (about 60 people) was funny, sassy, smart, and I had a great time talking with them.
Tonight's signing is at the wonderful Barnes & Noble in West Lake Hills in Austin, at the intersection of 360 and Bee Caves Road, at 7 pm. The Austin American Statesman ran a nice writeup of me and TRUST ME here today.
Finally, Texas Monthly gives TRUST ME a glowing review. I don't often post review links (good or bad) but I think Mike Shea understood entirely what I was going for in writing the book.

|Concept Art of Ogres
|Associated Deities
|The Warfield
|Related Races
Ogres are a playable race in EverQuest Next. They are a warlike people, more interested in honour and the glory of battle than in the intricacies of politics. During the Takish Age, they were enslaved by the Takish Empire, and were not permitted to use magic, own weapons, or even practice their cultural traditions. Despite initial reluctance, they joined the Combine in the latter half of the Dragon War,[1] and eventually learned to wield magic along with the rest of the Combine races.[2]
Ogres thrive on conflict. They are a people of blunt words and decisive actions. Quick to judgment, ogres do not hold back their opinions regardless of who might take offense. Debates are typically brief, as ogres prefer to settle disputes through combat rather than parlay.
Although their aggressive nature has kept them from being a populous race, ogres are master tacticians who take pride in overcoming impossible odds. An honorable death secures a place upon the Warfield, a realm of perpetual struggle where the bravest souls battle to earn the blessing of the Warlord. Those deemed worthy have their sprits cleansed and are reborn to begin their struggle anew.
Ogres relish the thrill of pursuing dangerous game, yet they honor their prey and hunt for need rather than sport. Generations of crafters have developed sophisticated methods of curing and tanning hides, and their leatherwork is prized in bazaars the world over. Renowned for their culinary skills, it is said the tastiest feasts on Norrath are found within ogre celebration halls.
While outsiders often see their society as harsh or even brutal, those who look closer will find ogres to be focused and disciplined. A proud race with rich traditions, ogres are a staunch ally to their friends and a relentless foe to all who oppose them. [3]
Architecture Edit
Ogre cities are organized and thought out, with walkways and paths passing through tended gardens. Wild jungle growth winds its way onto the flat rooftops, hanging with draped vines and creepers over the massive stone buildings. Large braziers and planters, as well as water features, are common in ogre settlements. They are used to showcase the race's sense of grandeur and culture while reminding visitors of their dominance over the wilds of the Feerrott.
Ogre architecture is built on elevated rises, often featuring open-air porches or balconies. Draped red fabric is used to convey imperial pride and is considered a sign of strength. Ornamental chains are hung to symbolize the unbreakable nature of the ogre spirit. Much of the architecture is deliberately made thick and imposing. Even the finer details, no mater how ornate, are composed of large, broad shapes.[4]

Brozka was kept a slave in the city of Tahrin. Later, he became commander of the ogres during the Dragon War, and represented them in the signing of the Combine Accord.

Every state's Medicaid program is slightly different. The Medicaid plan in Oregon is called "Oregon Health Plan" and covers about 4.1 million people (24% of the Oregon population). Most people who qualify for Medicaid in Oregon will be enrolled in OHP Plus (Oregon Health Plan Plus). Pregnant women over the age of 21 will be enrolled in OHP Plus Supplemental, and anyone who qualifies for Medicare as well will be enrolled in "OHP with Limited Drug." The three plans are almost identical, except that "OHP with Limited Drug" does not include full prescription benefits, and "OHP Plus Supplemental" adds in vision coverage and extra dental.
All state Medicaid programs are federally required to cover the same basic benefits, but most states take some liberties with the other benefits they offer based on each state's individual needs. For example, the OHP provides more dental coverage for adults than many other state Medicaid programs. The largest benefits included are:
The OHP provides coverage for cleanings, fluoride varnish, fillings, extractions, dentures, stainless steel molar crowns, and emergency care. Those who are pregnant or under the age of 21 can also receive additional crowns, sealants, and root canals. Similarly, vision services are only covered for kids (under age 21), pregnant adults, and adults with specific medical conditions that require vision treatment.
Medicaid (OHP Plus only) members in Oregon can not only receive ambulance rides for medical emergencies but can also receive non-emergency medical transportation when necessary. If you do not have a reliable means of transportation or cannot afford the gas to get you to and from your medical appointments, you may be able to take advantage of OHP's ride service brokerages.
You'll need to call the ride service brokerage in your county to schedule a ride. The person on the phone will need to verify your ride service eligibility, verify that your drop-off location is a Medicaid-covered appointment, verify that you do not have another means of transportation to your appointment, and then schedule your ride with a vehicle that makes sense for your medical needs. If you are repeatedly not at your scheduled pick-up location at the correct time, you may lose this benefit, or you may be asked to call to confirm rides before someone comes to pick you up - so it is in your best interest to be on time!.
Most members will be enrolled in a CCO, or Coordinated Care Organization. A CCO is a group of doctors, nurses, dentists, and other specialists in your area who work together to provide quality care to beneficiaries like you. You'll get information about which CCO you are in about two weeks after your Medicaid application is approved. Then, you'll receive an ID card and will be asked to select a primary care provider. This will be the main doctor that you turn to for your healthcare needs. If you do not choose one, your CCO will select one for you, so it's important to look at the provided list and decide which doctor you would prefer to receive care from.
There are very few costs associated with Oregon Medicaid. In some cases, you may be asked to pay a $3 copayment for outpatient services and a $1 or $3 copayment for prescriptions. You may be able to alleviate those costs through a prescription drug savings card.
Oregon Health Plan eligibility is mostly based on your household income. The amount of people in your household is taken into consideration. To qualify, you also must be a legal resident of the United States and Oregon state.
Unlike Medicare, Oregon Medicaid does not have a specific enrollment period - you can apply for Medicaid during any time of year. You can either download, print, and mail the application, order a paper application at 1-800-699-9075, or go through the application process online. The website one.oregon.gov will allow you to find out what you're eligible for, apply for benefits, and manage your account. If you go through any major life changes, like getting a new job or getting married, you can update your Medicaid application online as well.
If you are eligible for Medicaid based on the income requirements listed above and you also qualify for Medicare, you can benefit from both programs. You can qualify for Medicare either by turning 65, collecting SSDI for over 24 months, or receiving an ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease) or ALS diagnosis. Once you've established that you are eligible for both programs, you should enroll in a Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan, or DSNP. DSNPs are types of Medicare Advantage plans specifically designed for those who are benefitting from both programs. It's important to consider because if you are enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid, Medicaid will no longer cover your prescriptions - you'll need a Medicare plan to do that.
We have Medicare professionals in 38 states available to answer your questions and help you select and enroll in a DSNP plan. To get started, send us a message or give us a call at 833-438-3676.

We have several adult ministries with the mission of encouraging and edifying believers in their walk with God. These ministries guide you to go in-depth in studying God's word while connecting to the church.
Introducing two new, exciting studies that will explore the age old question that Pontius Pilate asked Jesus: "What is Truth?" On Sunday Mornings at 9:45am, we will be reviewing the thought provoking study "The Truth Project". This is a no homework, video based study that will revolve around questions triggered by our video. On Wednesday Nights at 6:15pm, we will be reviewing a book called "The Truth War" and it's plea for us to examine ourselves, and to join the fight "for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints" (Jude 3b).
Sunday Small Groups
Sunday Small Group
Sometimes it's good to just get down to the basics. The Adult Sunday Small Group is currently going through a series by Francis Chan called "Christianity 101". Please join us this Sunday at 9:30am for coffee and donuts, followed by our study beginning at 9:45am (child care and age appropriate classes will be provided).
Logos Class
The Carlson Sunday School Class uses the Bible as textbook. Their lessons come directly from the scriptures. They study chapter and verse. They use research materials, maps, and overhead projections, but the main text is always God's written word—His love letter to us.
Young Adult Class
The Young Adult Class is currently going through a book by missionary Katie Davis Majors, "Daring to Hope." Please join us as we encourage each other to live each day with purpose and intentionality, grow spiritually, physically, and relationally.
Our Wednesday Night Activities Are Currently On Break For the Summer, But Be Sure to Join Us When We Return Again in the Fall!
Wednesday Evening Bible Studies
We have two Bible Study options for Adults on Wednesday evenings. Our AWANA Mamas class is open for moms with children participating in our AWANA Club ministry. Please contact Pam Elkins if you have any questions.
There is also an open Bible Study for everyone. We meet in the Shelor/Carlson room upstairs at 6:15pm. We are currently studying through Greg Gilbert's book, 'What is the Gospel?'
What is the Gospel?
We have just begun a new Wednesday Night Adult Bible Study. The Study will be going through Greg Gilbert's book, "What is the Gospel" together. Join us at 6:15pm in the Logos Sunday School Room. Please contact Pastor Mark if you have any questions.
A Little About The Book. It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

Image Details: 'Bee Hive Cake' by Architekt2, via Flickr.
Day 3 of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, hosted by Eskimimimakes, is upon us. This has definitely been the hardest day for me so far, but then I suppose that is part of the point of taking part. It you do want to jump on the bandwagon a little late, you can find the details here.
Day Three (Wednesday April 24th): Infographic
There are many ways of conveying information on a blog; text and images being the two most widely used. Many infographics combine both these elements to provide a visual way of presenting text information.
Make your own infogaphic (no fancy imaging software needed, you can draw it on paper and photograph it if you want) to convey any element of your craft(s). It can be just for fun or a thoroughly researched presentation of an idea/finding.
I struggled with today's post. I didn't have anything I particularly wanted to infographic up, and felt a bit like I needed to do something 'proper' than just for fun. So, I sat last night and played around with some infographic makers, which were something new to me and I am sure they could be useful. And I fiddled and played and fiddled and played and my eyes went blurry as I minced around all the different makers, because I am a Bee after all. Then The Beast decided that it was time to scream the house down, complain of stomach ache in Afrikaans and then promptly vomited all over the bed. Cue a 3 hour clean up and go back to bed operation. Sigh.
As time has been short today, the computerised infographic has gone out of the window and I have gone for the rev option, one which I think you will like, and created a masterpiece of statistical nonsense, expressed through the medium of yarn. Nurturing Fibres, to be precise, my favourite South African dyer.
From the left, the blue cake represents the time I currently spend thinking about crafting. There isn't a great deal else you can do whilst feeding a baby!
The orange cake represents the amount of time I would like to spend crafting in an ideal world. Not necessarily all for me crafting or sitting knitting whilst the children turn feral and the dinner boils over on the stove (you get the picture) but more just a productive time in the making department. This might be making for others, repairing things, educational making for my sewing course, alterations, podcasting etc.
The sad, saggy little red cake, 1/16th of the weight of the blue one, 1/5th the weight of the orange, is the time I actually get to spend doing said crafts various. I so want more time because there are so many things I want to make or try, but other things in life must come first and this rather inconvenient fact necessitates a bit of prioritisation in the project department, much to the annoyance of my little inner Bee. It may mean I need to develop a more monogamous approach and streamline my plans until, oh, retirement, maybe.
Plus all this stash revisiting is causing havoc with my best laid plans. Sigh. When all else fails, crack open the gin.

I really like your info graphic! It really tells it all and I have the same story going on in my life.
I hope no one else gets sick:)
I think it's a brilliant infographic. I can totally relate to the sentiment of not having the time.
I love that you used yarn to tell your story! So creative!
Great post, I represented my small amount of crafting time today in a tiny slice of pie chart, but I love your yarny representation. Very appropriate!
It gets better, I promise! Little Man is 2.5 years old and I can now knit in front of him without him yanking on the yarn or my needles. He's actually pretty good about it, finally. When he was really little (and not mobile), he would spend a lot of time with me, laying on his boppy, while I knit. It worked at the time. Then he got mobile……
I think most of us can use this as a motto!! No matter how much time we actually do have to craft, we sure could use more.
Ha I love this Infographic. What could be more perfect than using actual yarn!
I love the use of yarn in your infographic!
I really love this post Jo. I can really relate to that little red cake of yarn. I think your yarn-fo-graphic is perfect. Cheers, make mine a double.
I loved that your infographic was balls of yarn – very elegant and simple-and-to-the-point! Hope the tummy bug passes quickly and nobody else gets sick in the household.

Concourse X-Ray
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Use your x-ray glasses to check under the passengers' clothing for prohibited items at a strange concourse of the airport. You'd be surprised at what you find!
Made in ~60 hours for GDL February 2018 Jam and FigJam. Themes are: Change of Perspective and Hidden Secrets respectively, so I made a game where you find hidden things (prohibited items) using something that changes your perspective (x-ray glasses).
Survive a week on the job of a security agent in the year 2025. Keep the threat level low by arresting passengers who are in possession of prohibited items. Don't let them leave the concourse. If the threat level maxes out, then all is lost. On the other hand, don't arrest the wrong passengers - you'll be fired after 3 false arrests.

This was actually harder than what I had expected. Then again, I do kind of suck at everything I do
great game!
I know I'm late, but it was quite the interesting experience...
(warning: Video has A LOT of swearing)
uuhhh... i have no idea man.. i just.. i am so confused on what to take with me now
Good game. It's original in its own way. Loved it
some reason mine isn't working? its constantly moving backwards so i cannot stand in one place so when i try to arrest someone im already at the back wall and if i move mouse i never stop going backwards? any idea why?
Sorry, no idea why it would be constantly moving backwards. Could there be a joystick plugged in that perhaps isn't calibrated? Or try restarting your machine and make sure there's nothing pressing down on your keyboard, and there are no stuck keys.
Defo No Stuck keys as restarted machine etc. Even unplugged and replugged the USB keyboard and retried. All. Games are fine except this one? Which is strange. I have Got a g29 wheel Connected but had no buttons pressed or stuck in anywhere. I'll try unplugging that and see as I didn't think of that
edit: still strangly stuck moving backwords? this is very odd and cant find anyone else with this issue :/
the game w as kind of hard lol
Vous ne pouvez rien me cacher je vois littéralement TOUT!!! J'ai adoré perdre le contrôle!
I had a lot of fun playing this. It was actually quite hard and I probably sucked quite a bit, but I had a good laugh so
What would you do if you were a security guard at an airport...and you had X-ray glasses?! Would you use your new powers for evil? Or would you save the world from...bananas?...
Really cool simulator. It might look simple, but it becomes very hard later. I wouldn't like to work as a security guard at a airport if my job was like this.
This game give the player a challenge while making you have fun.
I love this game!!!!
Very fun game! Short but sweet! :D
A totally unique concept you have going on!
I have to say that I haven't seen a game using the whole x-ray vision thing extensively. But you used it as a base mechanic to your game. I find that brilliant!
The art style of the game is adorable and reminds of animated movies. Pretty good choice judging the result and the time limitations.
Gameplay wise, it is straightforward what you have to do. Simple concept that is easy to follow. However things get complicated when a lot of people start appearing. It actually reminds me of find wally, but you have to spot certain items instead of a tall dude with a striped shirt!
The music selection is fitting the game a lot. Upbeat yet goofy :P
Also the selection of items is straight up hilarious xD
All in all I enjoyed this game more than I expected to be honest!
I hope the best for your next projects!!
It was really funny! I enjoyed playing it :)
This was a fun game! But so many duck smugglers Lol!
pretty fun game with a great idea cant wait for more!!
This was a STRANGEST security team I've EVER been on! Totally didn't expect this many people would be into this kind of fetish; just goes to show you how freaky things can get! Hilarious game, and will be on the lookout for future projects!
i hope theres a VR version of this game. its hilarious!!! LOVE THE DUCK
I wondered why I kept getting fired for false arrests when arresting people with guns, nunchucks and knives until I realised that my Dock was blocking the arrest criteria for the day. The moral of this story, don't run in wondowed mode at full resolution. Having fixed that, this was a fun little game. The music really sells the experience. Combined with the art style and the premise (arresting people with a skill tester =D ), the whole thing comes together as a lovely absurdist jaunt. Nice work. =)
Have you ever wondered how to be the best security guard? X-ray!
Thanks for the video! Awesome thumbnail picture!
I had so much fun playing this game! It was such an interesting concept and would certainly make going through airport security a lot easier, haha. I hope you don't mind but I made a small gameplay video on your game and if you got the chance to check it out I'd really appreciate it! In the meantime, I hope to see what other creative concepts you come up with in the future!
Very comedic game that reminded me of games I would play in school on flash websites, enjoyed the time I had!
this is cool game
such a silly game, i LOVE IT! there were a couple of awkward moments in game (glitches and bugs) but given that this game was made within 60 hours, it is damn amazing!
The 3D models were rather adorable, the game itself was fairly difficult and in the beginning was a little tough to understand what the objects were (but that was mostly due my incompetence lol). Overall, amazing game and i really hope to see more games from you! :D
Fun times! Very impressive considering it was made for a jam! The lobster was malfunctioning for myself but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up!
A totally immersive experience that really delves into what it MEANS to be an x-ray airport security patrol man. Really loved it, and I'm happy to have served my time protecting this great nation... however messed up it may be.
It was fun, but it DID have a couple of issues with arresting certain people that had restricted items on them. However it was easily dealt with and I enjoyed every bit of the game.
Challenging but fun! Thank you for creating this!
I would love to record this but I am not an official youtuber, I have only one, dumb video.
You don't need to be a professional YouTuber. If you want to record it then download OBS and record the game. Also, its a lot more fun recording videos if you record not for the views or attempting to get famous, but just for the fun of it.

On 26 February 2018, shareholders of the Latvian ABLV Bank adopted a decision on its liquidation at their extraordinary meeting.
Capital outflow from the loans institution began after the report by the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) on the intention to introduce sanctions against ABLV Bank for implementing money laundering schemes assisting the North Korean nuclear program and illegal activities in Azerbaijan, Russia and Ukraine. As a result, EUR 600 million was withdrawn from the bank.
ABLV turned to the Latvian state for assistance. As a result, the Bank of Latvia granted a EUR 297.2 million loan against a pledge of securities.
Inevitably, Ukrainian companies, serviced by ABVL, faced the problem of transferring their accounts. After the tightening of regulatory procedures and requirements for banks, it is becoming more and more difficult for a non-resident to open an account in European jurisdictions. Previously, the liberal Latvian jurisdiction enjoyed great popularity among CIS residents for capital accumulation and preservation.
According to Elena Sotnyk, chief operating officer at Concorde Capital Investment Company, ABVL clients are trying to find a solution to the problem by considering other jurisdictions – Cyprus, the Czech Republic, and Malta. The return of capital from any bank undergoing the liquidation process is a difficult task and requires a comprehensive approach. At the same time, it is necessary to act quickly and decisively, otherwise the process can linger on for years and the client risks losing their entire savings. To carry out this or that transaction, all mechanisms allowing it to be performed smoothly should be adjusted.
"Client assets, which we have to work with, can roughly be divided into several categories. In particular, these are securities (documents) and monetary funds. The transfer of securities can be performed to other depositaries, and in this case the main feature is availability of the client's second custody account, to which securities can be accepted. By the way, we can help with opening such an account quickly enough. With monetary funds, the situation is more complicated, as the opening of the second personal or corporate bank account may take months. A client has a short period of time to transfer funds to an account in another bank, and it's good if such an account exists. There are cases often when a client has only one savings account. However, the existence of an account does not guarantee success, because there is a risk that the second receiving bank will return the transfer to its sender", commented Mrs. Sotnyk.
In the process of return/transfer of personal savings (assets), a depositor may face a lot of obstacles, starting from delays in processing an application right up to rejection of the latter. At the same time, bank employees may refer to various internal/external decisions, regulations or standards.
Even if the client's application is accepted for processing, or has already been processed and the bank is ready to send the assets under the instruction, it is only one aspect of the case, Mrs. Sotnyk explained. Furthermore, it is necessary that the receiving party does not reject the payment/transfer instruction, since most banks and depositaries are reluctant to accept assets from banks which have problems. There are many pitfalls that can be faced in such a difficult situation.
"Concorde Investments (Cyprus) Ltd., which belongs to the Concorde Capital group of companies, offers securities transfers and holding. We have developed and tested a comprehensive solution allowing the transfer of a client's assets from a problem bank to safe storage places. After opening an account (broker a/c) with us we, together with our partners, carry out preparatory and support work. As a result, a client's chances of success are significantly increased. At the same time, the client's participation is reduced to a minimum. Unfortunately, no-one can give a 100% guarantee for such transactions. We analyze each specific case, and if following the results of analysis we see at least the slightest chance of success, we suggest making use of our capabilities and experience. Here, experience of working with distressed assets is extremely important", Elena Sotnyk summed up.

Sarah Jeong is not shy to writing or trolling her harassers on Twitter. Back in July 2014, several tweets were discovered of her racist demeanor towards white men/people. Now, y'all the inside of me was so happy, because I just knew this was going to say she was being racist towards black folks. Okay, it's not okay either way but I'm just sick and tired of all the events that are occurring daily with white folks calling the cops on black folks. Sarah Jeong and her racists tweets are a disgrace, especially to document on Twitter. Now you know that everyone is going back years to find out the tea on folks. It could have been someone in her office at the New York Times that was jealous the she was hired over their friend. Y'all know how that works.
Check out some of her tweets from her racist rant and you decide. These tweets are pretty harsh y'all. You may read more at Fox News of course! Okay, so she has had some bad experiences with white folks for sure. Well, the New York Times made a statement standing by her and that she was vetted thoroughly – uh, not quite. She has since released a statement — not quite an apology but to be fair she was honest in the statement at the time, she was trolling people that were trolling her. She didn't use a scapegoat like most.
