One of the buzzwords that you will see in quantum computing is the term "Full-Stack". To those of you who are not familiar with this term, it means a company that intends on providing by themselves the complete quantum computing solutions including the chip, system, software, and cloud access (check out PieSync for cloud app services).
This approach is similar to the pre-1981 classical computing industry where companies like IBM, CDC, Univac, Digital Equipment and others each offered their own incompatible computer systems with their own operating systems, compilers, and utility programs. These were often called "closed systems". After 1981, the classical computing industry changed dramatically with the advent of the Personal Computer and the formation of the renowned Wintel (Microsoft-Intel) alliance. After that companies offering personal computers used what has been called the "open system" approach. They started to focus their offerings on specific pieces of the solutions, such as hardware or applications software or peripherals. Systems from multiple manufacturers became standardized and compatible, prices dropped, shipment volumes increased and the industry boomed.
Examples of companies that appears to pursue the full-stack quantum approach today including IBM, Rigetti, Microsoft, D-Wave, and perhaps a few others. While companies like Silicon Quantum Computing, Intel, and many of the software companies are only working to provide specific pieces of the solution and then partnering with others to provide the total experience to the end user.
There are arguments both pro and con for going full-stack. To start with the pros, the most common reasons stated for going full-stack is that it improves the turn-around time for new development and that it also allows a company to make better optimizations in the hardware-software interface. Companies will argue that by having full control of the wafer fab, system integration, and software they can try different approaches and iterate much more quickly to improve their product. Working with vendors or partners will slow them down because the external organizations may have other priorities and require more steps to communicate with. Similarly by having control of all the hardware, software, and system access they can better optimize the complete solution for the best performance and functionality. They can make tradeoffs in one subsystem and compensate for it in another subsystem. For example, Rigetti is promoting a classical-quantum hybrid approach for solving problems with features embedded in their hardware architecture to achieve this. They are developing their own software to take advantage of this capability and the support for this capability might not be as good if they relied on external software.
However, there are also significant cons with going the full-stack approach. The most significant is that it will require a much larger amount of engineering resources to succeed. Not only will this require a larger investment, but it also is a more significant management challenge to keep under control a much larger breadth of activity. Companies will need to hire engineers and manage activities in such diverse areas as wafer fab, system mechanical engineering, electronic control systems, operating system software, applications software, cloud access software, etc. Even a large company like Microsoft may have a challenge in some areas. They will need a wafer fab to build their topological qubits and Microsoft has never previously been in the fabrication business. It will be interesting to see whether Microsoft decides to build their own fab or work with an external foundry to manufacture their chips.
Savvy players can sometimes take advantage of external resources to gain an advantage. In the early days of the personal computer, Compaq Computer achieved great success by cloning the IBM Personal Computer and offering a system that was both faster and cheaper than those offered by IBM. They achieved this because they focussed all their efforts on the hardware and did not have to worry about the software. Not so great perhaps for IBM, but it was a huge success for Compaq as well as users who benefited from the increased competition.
So our expectation is that you will see both approaches for a while. Quantum technology is still quite new and the problem with trying to standardize an architecture and create an open system standard at this point is that it may be premature. An attempt to create a standard now may end up standardizing the wrong thing. However, we are strong believers in partnerships and would encourage the quantum companies to establish those partnerships wherever they can. No one company can do everything all the time and the more we can have different companies work together the quicker we will see the technology develop and the faster the industry will grow.

Two-pronged education programs
Lovell points out that their program addresses two groups, store employees and customers for these reasons:
- We need store employees to use the Fresh Meter to manage the freshness of the products for sale.
- We need customers to use the fresh meter to select the freshest fish and ensure the quality and safety until they use it. The Fresh Meter lets the customer know, even in their home fridge if the product is fresh and safe.
"We have not added extra signage in store at this time as we're trying a slow roll out of the technology to gauge consumer acceptance through sales and direct feedback," Lovell says. "We also designed the Fresh Meter to be simple enough to use without added marketing or education. The philosophy is that the customer has to 'get it' by looking at it once."
Lovell says the FreshMeter technology fills a crucial gap in the safety of packaged seafood.
"No one in the market is offering a solution for customers to know the freshness at the time of purchase through the time they take it home, store it, and consume it," he says. "Traditional fish-cutting counters in stores have no way of demonstrating how fresh the fish is and consumers don't know if they've handled the fish safely. Who knows how long it's been in the hot car? Who knows if it's still fresh in their fridge at home? Now they can."
Easy & Fresh is also exploring other ways to use the Fresh Meter.
"In our fresh, ready-to-eat food and produce processing (value added) facilities, we're exploring ways to apply Fresh Meter technology to demonstrate the value of the Fresh & Easy brand," says Lovell. "Delivering 'fresh' to our customers is our core value and the Fresh Meter is our innovative, industry-leading solution."
A backstory and more details from Bizerba
Pedro Garza, Bizerba USA's regional sales manager, industrial product manager, label technologies, says the company's Smart label technology had been in development since 2008, but it wasn't ready for the U.S. marketplace until 2014 "after going through various design iterations and improvements. We had to go back to the drawing board a few times to make sure that the label would resonate with the end consumer. It's all about the shoppers' experience to quickly understand what the label does and how it functions, all at a quick glance. I think we have achieved that."
Bizerba has experience with the OnVu Smart Label in Europe.
"We have had some success in launching the label on pork products as well as fresh cut produce," says Garza. "We are in projects and discussions with U.S. based brands for convenience and ready-to-eat foods which we think present a great opportunity for the Fresh Meter since these particular category of foods are consumed without ever being cooked. For these foods, maintaining freshness via the cold chain is of the utmost importance. Santa Monica Seafood has been a valued partner of ours. They are very well respected and have an impressive list of customers that trust them to supply fresh and safe seafood. For us, the application at SMS provides a solid reference for other perishable categories to model. If we can ensure the freshness of seafood, we can ensure the freshness of a whole suite of other perishables to the end consumer."
He says the success with Fresh & Easy proves the technology can be adapted for other products and for products with differing shelf lives.
"One of the reasons we have achieved success with the OnVu FreshMeter is because of the inherent ability for the technology to be tailor fit to the shelf life of the product that it is going on," he explains. "Without being disruptive to the production process, we can easily tune the label to match the shelf life of the various products that are being packed. We do this by our proprietary UV light activation process. In terms of the label design, we worked closely with the Fresh & Easy brand development team to choose a design that would meet the technical requirements for the Seafood HACCP code, but would also resonate well with the end customer."
Note: as this article was finalized we learned that the chain was closing stores and considering bankruptcy, according to an article in the LA Times.

|Chapter 4. Four Rolls -
Forward Outside Rolls
A graphic method
is to draw a straight line along
the ice with the heel of your blade. Now to do the outside forward roll
(Illus. 19), stand in T-position so that the toe of your right skate is
touching the line at a right-angle while your left foot is parallel to
it. Put your arms, shoulders, and hips in position for the outside
forward spiral you have already learned.
Push off onto a firm, leaning ROF edge (19-1). After you have held thus (in a position which many skating teachers designate as the number 1 position of the OF edge) for three counts, slowly pass your free foot and leg close forward (19-2) in front of your skating foot and at the same time reverse your arms with a close passing movement. This complete change into the number 2 position should take three more counts, 4, 5, and 6. Maintain your lean to the right throughout (19-3).
As you change
your free leg from back to front, allow your
knee to straighten gradually. As you reach the count of 6, your skate
should also have completed a semicircle and be approaching the line on
the ice in front of you. Now drop the free foot down beside the skate,
parallel and touching in standard pushing position (19-4), and at
same time, bend both knees deeply again.
Turn your right foot out a full quarter-turn and push in the number 1 position to the left outside forward edge (19-5), which will again take the ice at a right angle to the line you drew. Repeat all movements, including the rhythmic bending and straightening of your skating knee, on the left edge. Continue right and left all down the ice. Keep counting in slow waltz tempo. Skate your counting. Don't count your skating!
It is important
for control that your free hip not rotate
forward as you pass your free foot and leg forward—therefore the close
movement that keeps pull to a minimum and allows you to concentrate on
maintaining a constant lean. Once you are in the number 2 position,
your skating shoulder will be definitely a trifle lower.
A second's attention will show you that the number 2 position of the arms and shoulders on one edge is the number 1 position on the next edge. All you have to do at the pushoff each time is bend together, change body lean, shift weight, and turn your head toward the new center. This will be true in general on all the rolls. And no toe-pushing! Clean starts from the side of the pushing blade are a "must" on this test.

Sky Television / TVNZ Ltd.
Sports Cabler (Rugby Tests, NPChampionship, Basketball, Netball)
Cabling for sports events. Simple job, low pay, but a good step into the
industry if you play your cards right. I started during my film and telvision
school days in 2003 as the Camera Tutor was also the Floor Manager for
Sky's Wellington events and so we'd come into put out some cables and
then spend a couple of hours running back and forth along the sidelines
behind the camera guy, basically being his backup and making sure he
didn't get tangled or knocked over.
I continued to do this for Sky in Dunedin as well, and then also had my
name put forward when TVNZ was looking for people for it's Netball and
Basketball coverage. I stopped sometime in 2005 because the hours I
was doing for Channel 9 at the time, on weekends especially, meant I
really couldn't do the cabling thing anymore.

|Franks and Beans over the fire...not!
It's finally starting to feel like fall here in the south. Temperatures have dropped below 80 degrees and the leaves are starting to get some color. Fall weather means it's time to plan our "Glamping" trip and suddenly all I can think about is dinner. The highlight of any camping trip for me is the food.
Giant Family Tent? Check. Lantern? Check. Wool Socks? Check. Air Mattress? Check. Extra Virgin Olive Oil? Check. Huh?
Yes, my husband and I are cheerfully called "foodie snobs" by our camping buddies because I refuse to eat hot dogs on a stick with a side of canned baked beans. There are always groans and protests when I ask for help carrying the heavy iron skillet and Dutch oven. It's not that our friends don't love a good meal while enjoying the great outdoors; they just seem to lose all memory of how to cook when faced with a couple of iron pots, a campfire, and some aluminum foil. I've never understood why cooking should be any different when you're camping.
|Example of Our Glamping Dinner
I'm a firm believer of the "Live to Eat" philosophy of life, and I don't lose sight of it just because we're camping. There is something special about a meal prepared under the stars far away from the buzz of city life. Everything seems to taste better outdoors and there is a natural ambiance; stars twinkle overhead, the flickering fire casts a romantic glow, and the cool fall breeze makes subtle background music as it passes through the trees.
Over the years we've learned that campfire cooking doesn't need to be elaborate to achieve stunning results. My favorite chef's mantra applies to cooking over a campfire too: good food, simply prepared, tastes good. So, while our camping buddies are debating where to go camping this fall, we're already busy planning the menu. And when dinner rolls around at our campsite, the groans about having to carry the ironware will be forgotten and they will no doubt appreciate having a "foodie snob" on the adventure.
Happy Glamping my Friends!

I stacked up all the issues of The New Yorker from my subscription. The stack is by the bed. I'm a little surprised to find myself enjoying working my way through them. With books I feel bound to push through from page one to page last. There are books I've been reading for years ... Walden, for example, recently rejoined my active reading pile but I probably only get through 3 of its pages each week. I'm about halfway. Magazines, however, are much more a miscellany. Frankly, there's many an article the subject of which just does not interest me. Sports teams, most humor ... I like funny but I don't seem to have much taste for humor.
I don't currently have any magazine subscriptions going but a new issue of something will make it into the house now & then. When I've read it, do I discard it? With The New Yorkers I've decided yes. Finish the issue, stuff it in the recycle bag.
I used to buy a literary magazine or two a month. But they piled up. I would read a few poems then put the issue aside and forget what if anything I'd read in it. But I do have a soft spot for the locals.
A couple days ago I bought the first issue of a new litmag out of Oakland, Beeswax. The cover is letter press -- means you can feel the impression of the print in the paper. A honey bee. Simple and friendly. At five dollars it's pretty cheap. There's no masthead. Only an invitation to address correspondence to "the editors" ... no email. Though there is a website address and there the editors name themselves. John Peck and Laureen Shifley. I wonder why they neglect the credit in the physical magazine? They include their own work in the first issue. None of the poets/fictionists/visual artists on the contents page are names I recognize.
I'm up to page 15. So far the work is competent. Short stories in litmags are usually not of much interest. I've given myself permission to skip over them. Nicole Ankowski's "It's Called Dancing" is a relationship dance. Rather slow moving but there are nice turns of phrase. "I wondered if a tattoo needle felt like teeth on skin, a mechanical ferret nipping over my chest." I might make it to the story's end.
The poetry so far is unobjectionable. I like that the editors like comics; it was one of the reasons I bought.
When the clerk was ringing up the purchase he made a comment about it being the first issue. "Number one?" he said. "An auspicious number."

The new MRA-3Q is an advanced automatic radio scanner suited for instant detection of various types of radio bugs in the frequency range 36- 3600MHz. The basis of the system is the radio spectrum memory combined with an ultra fast scanning. The whole frequency range is scanned every eight seconds and the currently received signals are compared with the initially stored "clean" background spectrum. The presence of a new signal activates a three level alarm output. All new signals are stored in an alarm memory including various statistical information. MRA-3Q can be used within the QM-4000 network system, which allows full remote control and various extended funtionality.
MRA-3Q allows to automatically acquire audio records of new signals which have been causing alarms. Recorded audio samples together with the stored statistic information are reliably indicating if the object was attacked by RF eavesdropping. MRA-3Q can be used as a part of the QM-4000 bus system. QM-4000 allows parallel connection of up to 32 MRA-3Q devices within an object network. The bus system allows full remote control of each device, and additionally it contains numerous additional features like spectrum analysis in the range of 363600MHz, background statistic, new signal statistic, automatic audio sampling, frequency and spectrum records, selective statistic, system statistic etc. QM-4000 is not only a comprehensive solution for object permanent protection, but also a very effective tool for electronic countermeasures specialists since it gives a clear graphical picture of the current RF signals. By using QM-4000 we can detect and record even such dangerous systems like spread spectrum, or modified WiFi, DECT, and GSM.

There are two installers available for Citrix AppDNA (former App-DNA Apptitude). Depending on how big of a download you want to obtain and distribute internally, you can choose any of those two. Both installers will result in the same product:
- AppDNA Enterprise Edition [288MB]
- AppDNA Enterprise Edition with Quick DB Install [659MB]
The main difference between the two installers is that the 'with Quick DB install' includes a database dump of OS images, where you otherwise would have to download and import the OS images manually (which will take around 2 hours).

Sometimes insurance companies want the same kind of financial protection that they offer to their own customers, and they can find such protections in the so-called reinsurance market. Reinsurance companies provide insurance against loss for other insurance companies, especially losses related to catastrophic risks, such as hurricanes or the global financial crisis of 2008-2009.
Without reinsurance, today's insurance industry would be more vulnerable to risk and would likely have to charge higher prices on all of their policies to compensate for potential loss.
Basics of the Business Model
Reinsurance companies typically offer two kinds of products. The first is known as treaty reinsurance, which is a type of contract where the reinsurer is bound to accept all of the policies, or an entire class of policies from the reinsured, including those that have yet to be written. The second type is facultative reinsurance, which is much more specific. These can cover single individual policies, such as reinsuring the excess insurance on a company or large building, or they may cover different parts with several policies pooled together.
Reinsurers primarily deal in the largest and most complex risks in the insurance system. These are the kinds of risks that normal insurance companies do not want or are not able to internalize. These sorts of risks tend to be international in nature: war, severe recession, or problems in the commodity markets. For this reason, reinsurance companies tend to have a global presence. A global presence also allows the reinsurer to spread risk across larger areas.
Reinsurance companies don't always deal solely with other insurers. Many also write policies for financial intermediaries, multinational corporations or banks. However, the majority of reinsurance clients are primary insurance companies.
Differences and Similarities With Insurance Companies
Like any other form of insurance, reinsurance boils down to a system wherein the insurance customer is charged a premium in exchange for the insurer's promise to pay future claims in accordance with the policy coverage. Reinsurance companies employ risk managers and modelers to price their contracts, just as normal insurance companies do.
However, reinsurance companies target a very different customer base than normal insurance companies, and they also tend to work in wider jurisdictions that involve different, or even competing, legal systems.
Another serious difference is the relative mystery in which reinsurance companies operate. Standard insurance companies openly advertise their products to the public at large and often compete intensely over the same market segments. Reinsurance companies, on the other hand, operate in the background of the financial world. These companies don't buy mass direct-to-consumer advertising, they have small work forces and they normally develop strong niche roles with a few large competitors.
Contract of Reinsurance
Reinsurance contracts act as an agreement between the ceding insurer, which is the insurance company seeking insurance, and the assuming insurer, or the reinsurer. In a normal contract, the reinsurer indemnifies the ceding insurer for losses under specific policies written by the ceding insurer to its customers.
Unlike the standard insurance contract between you and your insurance company, a reinsurance contract is not regulated as to form and content because both parties are considered equally knowledgeable about the industry and have equal bargaining power under the law.
Collateral and Other Regulations
Like standard insurers, reinsurance companies are regulated based on which states they file their incorporation documents with, as well as other states in which they transact.
Reinsurers can operate in the United States without a specific license, though most jurisdictions require some form of licensure to establish offices or conduct business transactions. In lieu of more specific financial regulation, many reinsurers provide qualifying collateral to ceding insurers as a gesture of legitimacy and good faith.
There are provisions inside the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 that pertain to reinsurance companies, including that unauthorized reinsurers must provide 100% collateral of their gross liabilities to a ceding insurer in order for the ceding insurer to receive a financial statement of credit for the reinsurance. Reinsurers certified to have acceptable financial strength can have their collateral requirements reduced according to their ratings. In order to comply with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), all states must have set requirements by 2019.

Getting Started:
I want to try 3D printing. How do I get started?
- Explore all the different objects at Thingiverse.com. You can send us a link and we will be happy to print the design for you.
- If you intend on making your own object check out Tinkercad—a free, easy-to-learn online 3D design and modeling tool.
What kind of 3D printer do you have?
We currently have a Prusa i3 MK3 printer
Prusa i3 MK3:
250 x 210 x 200mm print area
0.4mm nozzle diameter
Heated bed
PLA filament (corn derived, biodegradable)
Is there a charge for using the 3D printers?
Yes, the cost for printing is $0.15 per gram of plastic, or filament, used, plus a flat fee of $2.00 per print. For example, if your final project weighs 10 grams, the cost is $1.50 + $2.00 = $3.50. We are unable to accurately estimate how much an object will cost before it is printed.
How long does 3D printing take?
The length of time it takes to print an object really depends on the size of the project. The actual printing process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours, depending on the project. If there are technical difficulties with the file, that will also increase the time it takes. Our 3D printer is in high demand so plan ahead. Queue times are dependent on your specific project and colour selection.
What type of file formats do the 3D printers accept?
Our printer accepts .stl and .obj formats.
What kind of material is used for printing?
We only print using PLA—a corn based, biodegradable, environmentally friendly plastic filament. Please note this filament is NOT food safe.
Can I print more than one colour?
Our printer can only print objects in a single colour at a time, though you're more than welcome to spruce it up with a paint job! Ask a staff member for the current selection of colours available.
How do I submit a file for 3D printing?
You must fill-in our online form. Please send all questions and queries to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Those looking for the essential North Woods experience need look no further than New Discovery State Park. Set in the heart of the Green Mountains, New Discovery is surrounded by rugged, tree-clad mountains and thick, mixed-hardwood forests. Over a dozen placid ponds and lakes are within a few miles of the park, with each offering ample opportunities for boating, fishing or just some shoreline relaxation in a tranquil setting.
New Discovery is set within the 26,000 acre Groton State Forest, Vermont's second largest - and perhaps its most scenic - state forest. Many miles of hiking trails and many more of multi-use trails, which are suitable for trail riding and mountain biking, snake their way across a landscape of shaded hollows and sunny peaks. Six additional state parks are clustered nearby, several of them on the shores of beautiful Groton Lake. Boulder Beach State Park has a swim beach, and there's a wonderful interpretive center nearby that offers exhibits and information to all the parks' visitors.
New Discovery is open from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend, and it stays busy for much of that time. The park offers a few dozen RV suitable campsites, as well as several equestrian sites, all set in a lovely shaded campground that offers easy access to trails, ponds and lakes.
The park can be reached via New Discovery Rd/VT-230. VT-230 cuts through Groton State Forest, going North/South, and offers access to all of the state parks clustered in the area. If you're coming from I-91 or I-89, both just a few miles from the park, you can take either US-302 or US-2 to reach the turn off for VT-230 (US 302 cuts south of the state forest, US cuts north of it). Roads into the park can have sharp turns and some moderate hills in places, as the countryside is mountainous. All roads are paved and well-maintained, however, so don't fear any white-knuckle driving. Snow and slush can occur from early fall to late spring in northern Vermont, so be aware of weather conditions before setting out.
The park's campground setup is very straightforward, consisting of a large loop with all RV sites and a smaller loop with mixed RV/equestrian sites. Parking should not pose much of a challenge as long as you are below the stated length limits (about 30 ft for most sites). Big Deer Mountain and Osmere Pond trailheads are within walking distance of the campground, and the park's other day use areas and overlooks are just short drives away (additional parking is available at day use areas).
New Discovery sports a beautiful campground encompassed by dense groves of maples, beech, birch, hemlock and more. Most parts are partially or totally shaded. Sites for RVs and equestrian camping are available, and are spread across loops. There are also several lean-to's available.
All sites are fully primitive, with no electric, water or sewer hookups. Water spigots are spread throughout the campground, however, and there is a sanitary dump station and recycling station right near the park's entrance. The equestrian sites spigots, water troughs and hitching posts, and there is a horse washing station just up the road from the campground. Both campground loops have modern restrooms with showers, and the larger loop has a small playground and a horseshoe pit.
The Forest Country Store, on Lake Groton, offers basic supplies and food for campers at the seven State Parks in the immediate area. The nearby towns of Montpellier and St. Jonsbury are full-service, offering any additional amenities or supplies you may need.
In total, the campground boats 39 RV campsites and 7 equestrian sites. Reservations can be made up to eleven months in advance; visitors should note that, unlike some of the other parks in the area, New Discovery closes seasonally.
New Discovery's equestrian camping sites make the park an excellent place from which trail riders can begin their exploration of the surrounding woods and mountains. Groton State Forest boasts about 20-miles of graveled, multi-use trails on which horses are allowed to ride. The Montpelier- Wells River Rail Trail (a section of the Cross Vermont Trail) snakes 11 miles through the forest, passing underneath a thick hardwood canopy and by tranquil streams lined with moss-covered stones and logs. Stunning mountain vistas and lovely deep-woods ponds are also reachable via equestrian trails.
Criss-crossed by numerous streams and dotted with ponds large and small, New Discovery and the surrounding forest provides a paradise for North Woods anglers. Osmore Pond, Peacham Pond and Kettle Pond are all popular, easily-accessible fishing spots near the park. There's also, of course, Lake Groton, just a short drive south. If you're looking to find some solitude, grab a pole in head to one of the farther-flung ponds accessible via Groton's extensive hiking trail network. Brook trout, smallmouth pass, yellow perch and pumpkinseed are a few of the species anglers can pull from the area's waters.
Northern Vermont can get surprisingly hot during the summer, with high temperatures routinely reaching the mid to high 80s. Resting or setting up a hammock in the shade of maples and beaches is one way to cool off, but the most effective way to beat the summer heat is by taking a dip in cool, clear lake. 400-acre Lake Groton is just a few minute drive New Discovery (it's also accessible from the park via hiking trails); and Boulder Beach State park, sitting on its northeast shore, boasts an excellent swimming beach.
Seventeen miles of hiking trails wind across the 26,000+ scenic acres of Groton State Forest. Several easy walking trails take you to placid Osmore pond, where you can fish or birdwatch along the quiet, verdant shores. The mile and a half Owls Head trail offers more of a challenge, taking trekkers around marshes and up slopes until they reach Owl Head Peak, which provides a stunning view of Lake Groton and the surrounding tree-clad mountains. Other peaks and ponds can be reached via trailheads leaving from nearby state parks, all within a few minutes' drive of New Discovery.
The country around New Discovery is scenic, rugged and topographically diverse, making for world-class mountain biking. Heading out from the New Discovery, or from one of the many other nearby state parks, you can ride onto an over 20-mile network of biking trails that weaves its way across thickly forested hillsides, valleys and creeks. Late summer and early fall offer a respite from bugs. Try to avoid late spring, also known as "Mud Season" in Vermont.
The thick woods, scattered ponds, marshes and bogs of Groton State Forest provide excellent habitats for an abundance of wildlife. Whether visitors opt to fish, hike, bike, ride or just relax underneath the shade of some maples, they'll almost certainly catch a glimpse of some native fauna. Common mammalian inhabitants include moose, deer, black bear, beaver, otter, fisher and mink. Loons, herons, and several species of ducks can be found on the water, while bald eagles, golden eagles, northern harriers, and many hawks and owls can be found circling the skies or soaring between high tree branches.

Pokemon isn't something generally talked about a whole lot here on Majin Planet. When the news of Detective Pikachu coming, and in Live Action, I was shocked. While a fan of the video game series, not so much the anime. Least of all these days. So when word of a live-action Pokemon Movie came out like geez I don't know like 10 years ago one doesn't think too much about it.
I suppose well I've always dreamed of an RGP aka open world, MMO style Pokemon game on PC for like ever. I actually never thought in my wildest dreams we would actually get a live action Pokemon movie. Considering the advancements in special effects and the last 10 years am I really surprised?
No, not really.
Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu
By now we've all heard the news it's been a little bit now the second trailer just dropped I haven't actually watched it yet. When I saw the first one I just kind of started shaking my head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I know in the last animated film "I Choose You Pikachu" or whatever it was called they did something crazy. Pikachu talked at the end of the film.
I don't mean the standard pika Pikachu thing I mean he spoke English.
That's pretty crazy. I guess my ideal live action Pokemon movie would be an adaptation of the first season of Pokemon or even the first couple episodes. You know give us that Ash Ketchum and Gary rivalry and his way to the first gym. As I was writing this and thinking about it more how far into the first season of Pokemon would they have to go in a live-action format give a compelling story in a cinema style format while still staying true and not making a series of movies that end up just being the same thing over and over again.
No one wants the same film over and over again.
Maybe the movie is already where he has all the badges and he has to fight the Elite Four? There are a lot of possibilities now I am a fan of the Pokemon video games but doesn't mean all the video games I've played pacifically Detective Pikachu.
Detective Pikachu
I don't know if I would go with the detective Pikachu as your first outing for Live Action Pokemon movie. and I don't know to have Ryan Reynolds of all people voicing Pikachu. I'm still having a bit of trouble with the realization that Deadpool is also going to be Pikachu.
Should this be a moment of dread or excitement? For one, I haven't decided yet. This is probably something I'm going to talk about a little bit more and more detail.
But I do want to apologize for the short article today. Having a sprained hand sucks. Wearing a brace makes it extremely difficult to write. While making the use of voice command for a lot of work. I still have to go back through and re-edit by hand.
The excitement level for this movie is strange. I'm getting ready to go into pre-production and make the official announcement. The return of Three Fat Guys Pokemon Go season 2 the summer. I guess I kind of just announce it right there. Let me know are you excited for detective Pikachu or is it in a strange way horrifying?

In the run-up to a major opposition rally in the Macedonian capital Skopje, the country's Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski has emerged to say that he will not stand down, news reports said.
"I have no intention of resigning or accepting a transitional government," Gruevski was quoted by local Sitel TVchannel as saying on Sunday.
Thousands of people are due to take to the streets in Skopje to demand that Gruevski's cabinet should step down. The rally comes a week after at least 18 people were killed in a shootout between police and armed ethnic Albanians in the Macedonian town of Kumanovo.

A Brief Rundown of Breeds
Tips to follow When Choosing Blue Pitbull Puppies.
Dogs are quite a diverse species hence the pool you choose from can be quite large. Here is a guiding article on choosing a pitbull puppy as your pet.
The ethical breeding of the puppies is the first consideration you ought to have in mind. As you choose the puppies ensure that their female and male used to sire them are of the right age and they are in perfect health condition. The offspring should have desired traits within the genes of the male and female used to sire it. Healthypitbull puppies are obtained through proper feeding of their mother in calcium, nutrient, and protein-rich diet. Ensure that the dam is stress free and kept away from health-threatening conditions.
Secondly, take into consideration the care taken to the pitbull pups once they are born. Ensure that the pitbull pups you purchase as a pet have been fed from their mothers breast during their very first weeks after birth. This enables them to obtain nutrients and essential antibodies from their mother crucial for the development of their immunity systems. After a month the pitbull pups should be waned slowly on protein-rich meals and still given a chance to breastfeed. The health of the blue pitbull pups is compromised. Consider blue pitbull sellers who let the pups lactate from their mother during their tender age.
The third factor you ought to consider when purchasing a pet pitbull pup is to ensure that it is properly dewormed and vaccinated. Deworming should commence after four weeks when weaning begins as the pup may have contracted worms and their eggs from their mother during lactation. If deworming is nor done the nutrition of the pups is affected hence its growth may be affected. In a move to … Read More..

Simple business accounting
Whether you've set your therapy business up as a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company, it's vitally important to keep an accurate set of accounts.
It's obviously the less glamorous side of running a business. But if you have a system in place to track and record your accounts, the short term administrative pain is well worth it in the long-term.
You can keep track of your income and your outgoings in a spreadsheet, or you can use more advanced accounting software such as QuickBooks. Many practitioners prefer using specially written practice management software such as WriteUpp to manage and record their accounts.
Whatever method you choose, you will need to keep accurate records. This information is vital for completing your tax return.
Your income should include all money earned by the business, and your outgoings should include purchases and expenses for the business.
At the end of the year, you simply deduct your outgoings from your income to see whether your business made a profit or a loss.
Of course, this is a simplistic view of things. The process of record-keeping is different for individuals (sole traders), partnerships and companies. Read more about record-keeping here, or have a look at the other articles in the Finance pillar.

Continuing our look at a century of King Features Syndicate offerings in advance of our King of the Comics retrospective, here are some "DVD Extras" that reflect the state of both KFS and newspaper comics during the period of the 1960s through the 1980s …
• • • • •
The changes on the comics page that had begun during World War II took firm root during the 1960s. The size of strips shrunk to the point where adventure strips were literally being squeezed off the newspaper page. Gigantic strides made by television—which began the decade by televising the first Presidential debate and broadcast prime time fare "in living color" by 1969—put a further choke-hold on action comics, as the audience increasingly turned to the small screen for its daily dose of derring-do.
The generation gap also played a major role in the 1960s—the audience was growing younger as baby boomers came of age, while the master cartoonists of comics' golden age were now well into their fifties and sixties, their pioneering days now behind them, an audience they no longer fully understood before them.
Comedy continuity and gag-a-days were increasingly becoming the order of the day, and King Features had new offerings such as Frank Ridgeway and Ralston Jones's Mister Abernathy. Here's a snowy New Year's Day sample from 1962:
By the middle of the decade King had introduced its own "kids' strip;" though very different from Sparky Schulz's Peanuts, the new Tiger, by cartoonist Bud Blake, quickly staked out its own winsome, heartwarming territory on hundreds of newspaper comics pages.
Combative married couples were a time-honored entertainment trope: The Bickersons had a popular radio run, Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners were must-see viewing on the DuMont Network, and Bringing Up Father already had a half-decade of comic strip success under its belt. As the '60s wore down a new single-panel entry into the "Love & Marriage" sweepstakes appeared in the form of The Lockhorns. This delightfully barbed series has entertained readers through the remainder of the 20th Century and into the 21st. This particular example was too muddy for us to consider using in King of the Comics, but the zinger cracked me up so much, I wanted to share it with you here. Plus, one we DID use.
By the early 1970s social change was visible everywhere. All in the Family had debuted, anchoring what would become a powerhouse Saturday night lineup for CBS-TV while making politics, sex, and the generation gap subjects for thought-provoking laughs. Into that newer, more open entertainment environment, Thaddeus "Ted" Shearer helped put African-Americans onto the daily comics pages with his endearing Quincy:
The talent behind The Lockhorns, Bill Hoest, took on a second, multi-panel series in the 1970s. Here's an intro/promotional strip and a late-November 1977 example of his Agatha Crumm:
As the '80s unfolded King began acquiring other newspaper syndicates and absorbing their comic strip offerings to expand its own mammoth holdings. Among those acquisitions was the most popular adventure-strip to launch in roughly two decades, a series that was added to the LOAC stable earlier this year. Here's a 1989 selection from The Amazing Spider-Man produced by the brother Lieber, Stan and Larry:
To those of us for whom the '70s and '80s seem like yesterday, it's a bit shocking to realize there's still a quarter-century of King Features history that follows the Spidey strip above … but it's true. We'll wrap up our King Features retrospective next time!

"Classic Dutch" is a panorama of classical music, composed or performed in the Netherlands through the centuries. Most of the music in this series was selected from among the huge wealth of recordings made by Radio Netherlands' own Music Department. In each programme, presenter Hélène Michaud speaks with a guest conductor, composer or music performer.
This programme features performances by the Netherlands Wind Ensemble of the music of Monteverdi, Beethoven and Janacek, which all sound safe enough. However, the Netherlands Wind Ensemble is noted for its adventurous, humorous, even a little bit naughty approach to classical music—performing with non-classical musicians, with and for children at times, and with avant-garde artists like Czech-born Iva Bittova, as you can hear in this programme. The studio guest is oboist and artistic director Bart Schneemann.
Produced and presented by Hélène Michaud.
Broadcast on November 8, 2002.

This novel was sent to me by Pan Macmillan SA Kids in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Disclaimer: this review contains some pretty big spoilers.
When I first found out about this novel, my soul absolutely burst with excitement. The genre, the plot, the setting, the whole premise sounded all the way up my alley and I have to say that I wasn't wrong in the slightest.
Everless is a new YA fantasy novel released in January of this year by Sara Holland, whom I have discovered to be an incredible writer. The story is set in a world where the time in your blood acts as currency, and everyone seems to be stuck in one of those the-rich-get-richer-while-the-poor-get-poorer situations. Those who are struggling literally have to drain their life from their blood in order to pay for rent or food and this is precisely the situation our protagonist, Jules, finds herself in.
Jules Ember grew up at Everless, the royal estate, around the abhorrently rich and powerful Gerling family. However, she and her blacksmith father were forced to flee after being witness to an incident between the Gerling brothers that had supposedly put their lives in serious danger. The young girl spent the rest of her childhood living in fear of the royal family, but when she discovered that her father was bleeding out the last of his time to pay their rent, she took the painful and desperate decision to return to Everless years later to earn money and save her only parent from his own destruction.
Similarly to what I discussed in my last blog post, my main issue with this novel lies in the romance. Jules was childhood friends with Prince Roan Gerling and upon returning to the kingdom years later, she appears to still be head over heels in love with him despite not really having a clue as to who he really is. As readers, we don't get to see too much into who Roan is as a person aside from Jules' constant pressing on how kind-hearted he always was. Through each of their very brief encounters, the girl lusts after him like a lovesick puppy despite the fact that she's come to befriend his fiancé, Ina Gold. Jules only seems to wake up and realise that Roan is not the perfect man when he refuses to stand up for her and protect her directly after they share a rather intense snogging session.
Furthermore, Jules' attention snaps to Roan's older brother Liam approximately 0,6 seconds after the supposed love of her life is murdered. This only goes to show that it really doesn't take much to impress this girl. Whilst I never really got on board the Roan-train, I do hope that the romance between Jules and Liam, which is sure to blossom, at least blossoms at a decent pace.
Aside from this minor bump in the road, this book just had me so freaking excited. Queens and Princes and castles and magic and absolutely mind-blowing plot twists are essentially all it takes for a novel to steal my heart and Everless wasted no time with any of these elements. The final few chapters had me absolutely burning and although as a typical YA fantasy it was a bit tropey (lots of insta-love, evil royal family with lower class citizens suffering, protagonist with some secret special power, you get the gist), I could not have predicted those plot twists if you had paid me.
The tension written into the chapter where Jules travels to Briarsmoor was a truly special bit of writing and the way the story of the Alchemist and the Sorceress was woven into Jules' own life was unexpected and in my opinion, completely brilliant, leaving me with no choice but to slap a four star Goodreads review on this beaut.
The epilogue, however, was quite literally the best part of this entire book and I have a sneaking suspicion that this first instalment was just a tiny taste of what's to come in the sequel. The next book in this series will be titled Evermore and is set to be released in January 2019 which is WAY too far away for my liking.
A massive thank you once again to the lovely people at Pan Macmillan SA Kids for sending me this review copy! Have you read this book? How did you feel about it? Are you keen for the sequel or is that kite not going to fly for you? Let me know in the comments!

Distinguishing Features
Buxton's hair and great beard are as white as the snow, and his eyes are legend for it is said they hold the color of Winter's Wrath. They glow blizzard blue when he enters the ferocious rage of a baresark.
Items of Note
A pair of silver dice rumored to enhance his own natural gambling talents, though none will dare suggest it.
Items of Power
"Madraq Idelka J'Om" ("Soul Sunder") or "Axe of Dread". The infamous artifact of Legend has appeared twice in history. The axe was crafted by The Mountain Goddess Mithiriel as a gift for her mother, Madraq, Goddess of Death, and Queen of The Dark Beyond The Gate. Madraq has bestowed the terrible axe upon Buxton, who is cursed to roam the world collecting the souls of those she deems unworthy to live. The haft and twin blades are wrought of Ardan and edged with the purest Aog. When it cleaves, souls are loosed from their mortal bindings and sent straight to The Black Road where Madraq waits to pass judgment. Her natural aura seeps through the axe, causing spine crippling fear whenever it is drawn. Glittering runes erupt along the shaft when a soul is devoured. Lastly, it speaks the tongues of the Damned and can be summoned from any distance, even The Nadheim. Soul Sunder is the artifact The Untamed most desires and one of the most feared items ever created. As much as Buxton longs to be rid of it, he is bound until The Death Goddess is satisfied.
Known Abilities and Disabilities
Buxton has been blessed and cursed by the war god Urzog. He is Baresark. When the war spirit consumes his own, a fury is unleashed that cannot be quelled until all who stand in his way are slaughtered – be they friend or foe. Only his closest friends know how to avoid the tempest. In combat, he is unstoppable, becoming immune to pain and unnaturally resistant to blades, missiles, hammers and even magic. When he is baresark, he possesses the strength of the ocean and the resilience of the earth.
These "gifts" have been even further enhanced and twisted by Soulsunder, his Axe of Dread.
Known History
When the child was born, I was there. Black skies devoured the Ice Mountains and we all shuddered in wait. A soft breeze was all I heard inside the dark cave; and then one shrill scream of agony and relief. The Queen was near ruined when he emerged, full of blood, full of rage, shouting at the world he would wreak havoc upon. I knew he had been marked by Death, and someday She would claim him as her champion. Her Horseman and Deliverer. But that was not all, for his wrath was a curse by Urzog, and in this babe, He poured His strength, courage, and will. The fated child. A pawn of the Gods.
As a young prince, Buxton kept to himself. None would speak to him, and he would utter few words, even to his Mother and Father. I believe, as with all born with the fury, fear is what governed his heart. Fear of loneliness, of betrayal, of cowardice, of one's own fear, and the disappointment in a father's baleful glare.
I knew of his love for Olriiun, a young maiden, for I would watch him stare at her with a yearning that would endure long after her death. On a winter's eve in the courtyard of The Great Hall, Prince Khorba, his eldest brother and heir to the throne of Sharbagonhem, raped Olriiun in an effort to devastate Buxton. Khorba was a spiteful man and jealous of his brother's power. A thunderous roar bellowed from the pit of Buxton's soul. Many ran in terror, as he tore apart all who stood by Khorba. Entrails and guts were splashed atop the slush trodden steps of The Great Hall. In total, he had butchered twenty-two of his kin and was now, with Khorba cleaved in two, rightful heir to the crown. But the town had borne witness to the massacre.
King Heregor could not ignore the carnage. Under the advice of his youngest and most manipulative son, Glairdom, King Heregor banished Buxton from Sharbagonhem, never to return or face pain of death.
At the age of fifteen, Buxton Stonebeard took the long walk from his family and his home. He did not look back.
Upon his first night, alone and freezing to death nestled deep in a snowdrift, he welcomed Her icy embrace. Madraq, The Lady of Death did come, but carried unto him a gift. It was Her axe of legend, Soul Sunder, and with it a promise of riches, power, vengeance, and salvation. All of these he spurned as he asked of Her a single boon – that Olriiun would forget his face.
Buxton took hold of the axe and his fate was sealed; he became enslaved to the weapon and to Madraq's bidding. With it, he journeyed across the world, culling souls who have stayed beyond their time.
And so, when Buxton appears carrying the Axe of Dread, all shake in fear, for perhaps he has come to end all days.

As America Mobilized for War, Pres. Woodrow Wilson Fretted Over Silencers
Wilson feared stealthy German saboteurs
WIB history September 24, 2018 Matthew Moss
On March 30, 1917, just days before the United States entered World War I, Pres. Woodrow Wilson directed his personal secretary Joseph Tumulty to write to the Department of Justice requesting that the agency look into the threat German fifth columnists might pose if they used Maxim silencers to attack key infrastructure.
Maxim Silencers "should be prohibited and all outstanding weapons collected by the police," Wilson's letter stated. The president worried that sentries guarding isolated posts such as bridges and munitions factories might become targets of opportunity for assassins carrying silenced weapons. "Great damage could be done before main guard … discovered [the] sentry's death."
On April 3, the Department of Justice in turn wrote to the secretary of war and asked for his comment on the issue.
Photos via the author
The U.S. Army adjutant general consulted Brig. Gen. William Crozier, chief of ordnance. Crozier responded on April 7, saying that the use of a Maxim silencer by "unauthorized persons" was not considered sufficiently important to require special action by the War Department. "A silencer reduces the intensity of the report at discharge, but does not entirely eliminate it," Crozier noted.
While Wilson's concerns might to some seem unwarranted, German saboteurs had already been active in the United States, most notable in 1916 when American-made ordnance destined for Europe was destroyed by German spies in what became known as the "Black Tom explosion."
It wasn't until World War II that clandestine operatives on both sides of the conflict widely used silencers.

The Sochi Olympics screwed up TV viewing earlier this year by scaring everything off the schedule. Here's what we were able to find.
House of Cards — What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than a deep exploration of the relationship between Frank and Claire Underwood? The second season opened with a bang (SPOILER), continued with some unexpected dalliances (MEECHUM!), and the setup for a satisfying downfall in season three. Hopefully.
The Biggest Loser — Clare's day job is personal training, so you can imagine her horror after Rachel's big reveal as the winner of last season's competition. Fortunately, Jillian and Bob also had a look of dismay and voiced their concerns to the media after the finale. There's a reason we dropped the show.
RuPaul's Drag Race — For a show in its sixth season1, RPDR managed to find its mojo again and produce what is arguably the best season of the series so far. There was very little dead-weight in the cast, and all three finalists would have made satisfying winners. Bianca Del Rio took the crown, and "Really, queen?" has become a part of everyday vocabulary.2 Also, "Sissy That Walk" is an amazing track.
Tattoo Titans — If a new reality competition wasn't a "social media experiment" it was probably a Chopped knockoff. CMT added tattoos to the Chopped concept for this surprisingly interesting show. Tattoos aren't for everyone, but the art critiques that followed every round of competition dug deep into topics of perspective, color choice, and creativity.

Noel's High Flying Birds and James' high flying frontman!
This month Noel Gallagher and his High flying Birds played to a packed Leeds Arena. Clearly he's not one to dive around the stage but as always it was a brilliant gig, and what he is good at is giving the pit crew what we need.
Of course if diving around is what you're after then look no further than James frontman Tim Booth…
..on stage, off stage, diving is his thing. Thanks, by the way, to whoever lit Tim's face for me with their camera phone! Here he is from another angle.
Fortunately Tim was eventually returned to the stage…
…but he never likes to get too far from his huge band of followers.
Incidentally, James are at the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield at the end of June which should be brilliant. On this occasion though they also got great support from anglo-Italian, acoustic performer Jack Savoretti. Once described as the new Paolo Nutini Jack's soulful sound is well worth a listen.
