It is commonplace for writers on American politics to observe that, more than 150 years on, the United States is in various ways still fighting its civil war between the slavery-supporting south and the more liberal and urban industrial north. It is far less common for writers on British politics to make an equivalent observation about the enduring tenacity of the much older divides of England's 17th-century civil conflict. Yet England's civil war is still with us.
The 1640s battles between authority and liberty may not have produced another civil war. But iterations of the divide have resonated down the centuries – from the Glorious Revolution of 1688-9, through the Whig-Tory rivalry of the 18th century, the advance of liberalism and reform in the 19th century, and of labourism and equalities in the 20th. It is not hard to see, in the contrast between a privileged and dissipated political figure such as Boris Johnson and a puritanical one such as Jeremy Corbyn, that there are 17th-century echoes in our own binary times too.
Most of those who enter the Royal Academy galleries over the next three months for its new exhibition, Charles I: King and Collector, will be given no inkling of this. They will come to look at stunning pictures by Van Dyck, Holbein, Titian and Mantegna among many others. Civil war, however, is conspicuous by its almost total absence from the new show. Only the fact that we arrive with some knowledge of Charles I's notoriety and eventual execution ensures that this absence of politics is itself a huge and silent presence.
To an extent, this depoliticisation of Charles I might seem to contradict the claim that England is still refighting the civil war. A popular modern monarchy and the end of the death penalty have combined to leave Charles as the posthumous moral victor of the conflict he lost for good reason in real life. Flowers will be placed on his memorial in Trafalgar Square on the anniversary of his execution next week as usual. There will be none on Oliver Cromwell's – and not just because his final burial place is not known. The generations of liberal English people who revered Cromwell are thin on the ground these days. Cromwell's Protestant fundamentalism, his treatment of Ireland – and of course the regicide of 1649 – make him an anathema. The 1899 statue, financed by the Liberal prime minister Lord Rosebery, that stands outside the Houses of Parliament would no more be erected today than one of Margaret Thatcher can be. Only last week, a smaller bust of Cromwell in the House of Commons was discovered to have had its face turned to the wall.
Yet the resonances of these 17th-century conflicts – which had deep roots in Scotland, Ireland and Wales as well as England – are still there, and not far below the surface. Republicanism is indisputably a niche belief these days, but this country's blundering quest for republican-style common values is unsolved. Modern progressives may no longer have busts of Cromwell on their desks (confession time: I still do), but the Levellers and Gerrard Winstanley continue to be inspirational. And for all the modern revisionism about Charles I – the latest example is Leanda de Lisle's White King – lots of people will nevertheless enter the RA exhibition with a distaste for its central figure.
The lingering influence of the civil war within modern English life is part of something much wider in England's culture. Unusually among modern nations, both England and the Britain that England dominates lack a shared national historical narrative; this makes England distinct from the somewhat more secure national narratives of Scotland, Wales and even Ireland. Few countries are more historically minded in some respects than England. Yet English history – what it was, what is important in it, how it shapes us, and how it is taught – remains a political battleground.
Few people really believe that it is simply a story of kings and queens, battles and triumphs and defeats. Yet this approach still dominates the way the subject is taught and thought about. The reality is, of course, far more complex. British history is not just English: it is Scottish, Welsh and Irish too. Much of it is bound up with the European continent, with France in particular. It is also a history of poor people, the ordinary, the angry and the rebellious, not just of monarchs and prime ministers. It is the history of women as well as men, of children as well as adults, of migrants and ethnicities and minorities as well as those who ruled, wrote or invented.
All these different histories matter. None of them are necessarily more virtuous or worthwhile than the others – though some are certainly more influential. History is not simple: it is complicated, often fiendishly and irrecoverably so. The rules and mentalities of these many pasts were different, and we must always beware judging them by today's equally impermanent standards. Women's lives, the Scottish experience, black Britons or the history of protest and industrial conflict, should be part of a fully rounded 21st-century historical awareness. But so should kings and queens.
England and Britain need a new shared vision of their history. It needs to be inclusive, to deal with the bad and the good. But the constant battle to insist that X is more important than Y, that the imperial era is more important than that of the Normans, or the view that history must be full of moral lectures, is ultimately political not historical. The two things are not the same.
A modern liberal, multicultural, part-federalised country such as Britain, one that claims to be open to the world, should above all other things be open in its historical mind. Britain fails to be. Endless movies about Churchill, the second world war and the scrabbling search for lost British greatness are no substitute, and they actively stand in the way of answering the questions that matter now more than ever. Where do we come from? What do we want to be? What can help to bind us together?

Most land experts fail inside the initial couple of long periods of endeavoring to make a business undertaking out of land contributing. The trap starts with a gainful showcasing plan and afterward rehearsing a taught exertion to the advertising plan on an even premise. There is significantly more required to succeed, and you will experience more tips, traps and special land promoting methods in this article.
Is there anybody in your town that doesn't perceive that you purchase homes or that you are a land proficient? Provided that this is true, you aren't executing also at promoting or rendering land contributing data about your land contributing business endeavor too you could be. I discover land financial specialists telling all the time that they aren't accepting merchant telephone calls and in this manner aren't getting the leads they have to locate the land business bargains they require to win a living. I say increment the showcasing and the merchants will Call. That as well as on the off chance that you are campaigning the world (or if nothing else your region) that you purchase issue land property, in the long run you will be recognized for what you do and merchants will phone you entirely on your notoriety. this is what is called financially savvy showcasing.
One land proficient was in a home, garden and tool shop a couple of date-book weeks back and went past several folks in a walkway. A discussion was heard while he strolled by, I caught one express, "That is the land man". Presently I had never known both of those men and have no clue their identity however that experience gives me a chance to recognize that I should do my business at letting the world to perceive my business is purchasing land here. There are numerous approaches to tell the region that you are in the land contributing calling and getting data out there that enables individuals to acknowledge you purchase abandonments, bothered land, do land short deals and have a great deal of land data and experience to flip properties. A few strategies are shoddy and some are more costly. You will need to endeavor numerous things and procure a vibe for what realizes for you the best outcomes in your area to get the calls you require to execute land bargains. I have attempted numerous types of promoting techniques for land business undertakings everything being equal and have returned to a not many that reliably make enough leads for me to buy the 2 or 3 land property and houses I need to buy each and every logbook month. They are as per the following:
Ordered Ads
The ordered notice in the most conspicuous daily paper in the area is by a long shot the heaviest maker of leads for nearby land financial specialists that I have decided. I comprehend it is expensive and I comprehend there are occasions it doesn't produce telephone calls yet on the off chance that you will persevere in the land putting business part simply put it in there and abandon it. Become accustomed to it making up some portion of the toll of playing out the land business. You may use about $350.00 a logbook month for my 4 line promotion and that is the business run. I'd consider running it 365 days a year to always prompt everybody that you are a land proficient and you buy land in their locale.
In the course of the last few or so years I have viewed many "land financial specialist" promotions travel every which way. Most people place them in for a numerous or even only two or three date-book weeks and afterward evacuate them or attempt simply setting them in on the week closes. Land Marketing essentially does not work thusly. Put your land promotion in the paper and abandon it in there. It will more than compensate at the cost, trust me, and you will see after you complete your first arrangement. On the off chance that you are bothered in light of the fact that there are land financial specialists advertisements from numerous different speculators in there, don't be. They are there in light of the fact that they are getting reactions. Simply make sure to and really answer your PDA and keep it on all the time else you'll be misusing cash.
At the point when a new promotion for land financial specialist data appears in my daily paper, I will dependably approach the ad. 9 times out of 10 I get a message gadget or voice-mail. This is a critical kill to someone who needs a goals to their land inconvenience now. They need to address a man who can calm their uneasiness over their present issues with their home and reveal to them everything will be alright. Your noting gadget won't do that, they require a person. Concerning what to put in the promoting, you should take a shot at this one. I have attempted different thought and the one I have now hast not changed for more than 4 years.

The low incidence of breast cancer with Japanese and Chinese women, who have a high intake of soya, could be in part explained by the soya isoflavones.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of diet containing soy protein on the hormonal status and regulation of the menstrual cycle. The study was carried out on 6 healthy premenopausal women.
During 1 month, 60 g soya protein, containing 45 mg isoflavones was given to the woman. The soya diet significantly increased follicular phase length and/or delayed menstruation. This diet also surpressed, during midcycle, the levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. other observations were that the plasma estrogen (estradiol) concentrations increased in the follicular phase and cholesterol levels dropped by 9.6%.
The actions of the soya isoflavones are similar to those of tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen drug used as as a prophylactic agent in women at high risk for breast cancer.

Introduction: Galaxy Slide With Rock Wall
A unique slide for some unique kids. This slide is not only fun, but the rock wall wears the kids out much faster than a regular ladder would. The kids get some much needed exercise and I don't have to look at an ugly yellow slide in my backyard.
My husband and I bought an old play-set for real cheap ($25), the only catch was we had to take it down ourselves. We thought it was not to bad of a deal until we actually got there. The only things worth keeping were the slide($175 new) and the plastic rocks for the wall. They both were still in pretty bad shape though and needed refinishing. So I looked up different spray paint art and found space painting.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Supplies
The style of painting does not require much in the way of supplies.
The most expensive item is the ventilation mask which can run you around $20-$30.
Spray paint- I used Krylon Fusion which is made for plastics. Gloss paint is a must.
3-Clear Coat
10 pack of white poster board for practice
Various circular objects They need to have a very thin edge and only the edge must touch the paper when set down. These objects are only going to be used in your practice, Tape with be used on the slide.
Old magazine (needs to have glossy paper)
Disposable gloves
Painters tape, the blue kind works the best.
Exacto knife or rotary cutter
Sand Paper
Steel wool
Paint Thinner
Simple Green (or other heavy duty cleaner)
Tarp or old sheet
2- 2"x4"x6' pressure treated wood
6- 1"x6"x8' pressure treated wood Or 2- 1"x6"x8' and 2- 1"x6"x10'
2- 4"x4"x8' pressure treated wood
1- 9' Rope
1- bag of gravel
2- bolts w/ washers
48- 2" screws
18- 4" screws
Miter Saw
Circular Saw or Jigsaw
Drill with 1/2" bit
Rock handles
Post hole digger and/or shovel
Step 2: Scrub Your Worksurface
Even a brand new slide needs a good scrubbing to remove any particles left over from the manufacturing process.
I put on some thick gloves and using steel wool and simple green I removed years of dirt, grime, and wasp's nests (scary) from the slide.
Sand any uneven spots and rinse with a hose. Let dry and then wipe the entire slid down with paint thinner to remove any residue from the cleaning agents.
Step 3: Prep Your Work Area
A well ventilated area is a must for this project. There are a lot of fumes and you should wear a mask as well. Even in my garage with the door open left me swimming is spray paint fog.
Put down your tarp and set up an area where you can practice your technique.
You will need
Spray paint
Circular objects
Poster Board
Disposable Gloves
Remove all the caps from the spray paint before you start. I forgot to do this the first time and ended up ruining my first practice piece.
Step 4: Practice
I will not explain more that just the basics for the purposes of this instructable. I learn how to do this watching a few grainy videos on youtube. If you would like more information on this unique art form you may want to look it up here on Instructables.
Start with a sheet of poster board shiny side up. This is very important as it slows the drying time of the spray paint.
Picture 1 Decide where you would like your planets. Spray your lighter color first then follow with the dark color. Lay on a sheet of magazine paper, press down lightly and immediately pull it off. Repeat with the other planets.
Picture 2 Decide where your light source will be even if you do not plan to have a sun in your painting. Opposite the light source paint an arc of black on the planets to act as the shadow.
Picture 3 Place your circles and spray the rest of the poster board black. Spray white on your finger tips and flick to create stars. Use red, blue and yellow sprayed in whips to look like auroras.
Picture 4 Remove the circles and spray with a clear coat.
Step 5: Painting Begins
Start with the bottom and the sides of the Slide. You may decided not to do a full coat of paint on the bottom since it won't be noticeable.
Wait at least 30 min before flipping the slide over.
Depending on slide you may be able to add "racing stripes" as I did. Paint the area where you want the stripe and let dry for 30 min.
Use blue painter's tape to mask off the stripe.
Step 6: Planets
The normal use of magazine pages to make the texture for the planets doesn't work with the plastic of the slide. I found that using your hand, fingers together in a sweeping motion makes a very nice texture, but you must change your glove after each planet so you don't mix the colors. Repeatedly tapping the paint with a flat hand also makes an interesting surface texture. Remember to make the circles bigger than you want your final planet to be.
Use the black spray paint to make shadow on the dark side of the planet.
Measure the diameter of your planets for the next step and let everything dry.
Step 7: Masking Circles
I'm sure there are better ways to do this next step, but this way is cheap and not very difficult to achieve. You can't use the normal circles to cover the planets like you would on paper as this is a 3D surface. Painters tape can bend to follow all the curves.
Starting on a cutting mat or a very clean cutting board, layout overlapping blue tape to form solid sheet. Overlap the tape so it does not fall apart when you cut it.
Use a compass or just find a bowl or plate the size you need a draw a circle around it.
Using an Exacto knife or rotary cutter to carefully cut around your circle, remember your final planets will look only as good as you cut them out.
You will only need a half circle for the sun.
Place your circles on your now dry planets. Take your time and make sure that the edges seal and get ready for the magic.
Step 8: Space, the Final Step
Now that all the planets are covered the slide can now be entirely covered in black. It took two coats to get a nice even color.
Spray wisps of red, blue and yellow to give and aurora look.
Spray some white paint into your hand and flick your fingers to simulate stars.
Once you are happy with your look, remove your tape circles and racing stripes to behold your masterpiece :).
Spray red and yellow lightly around the sun to look like solar flares.
I put four layers of clear coat and started digging my holes to put this baby to use.
Step 9: Preparing the Wood.
Cut your 4x4x8 down to 7ft and use the Plastidip to spray the bottom 2ft.
Cut a 30° angle off the ends of both 2x4's and spray the bottom 6in with the Plastidip.
Cut a 65º angle at 70in. Your board should look like an elongated trapezoid.
You can either buy two 8ft boards and two 10ft boards, or five 8ft boards.
Cut List
1. 28, 28, 40 -8ft
2. 30, 32, 34 -8ft
3. 44, 46, 26 -10ft
4. 36, 38, 42 -10ft
1. 28, 28, 40
2. 30, 32, 34
3. 44, 46
4. 26, 36
5. 38, 42
Step 10: Dig and Place Your Posts
Dig two holes 28" in depth, a Ø12", and 20" apart from the center point.
To help with drainage, fill the hole with 4" of gravel so the final depth is 2'.
Place your posts and level before filling the holes.
Make sure to pack the dirt tightly.
Step 11: Attach the Slide and Rock Wall Uprights
Center the slide and mark the holes.
Drill the holes with the 5/16in drill bit.
Bolt the slide down.
Place the uprights for the rock wall. They will be about 2in too tall so you will have to dig small holes where they touch the ground.
Screw in the uprights using the 4in screws and fill in the holes.
Step 12: Attach Boards for Rock Wall
It would probally be easier to attach these starting at the bottom, but I started at the top to make sure there was a tight joint.
i used a Nintendo DS case as a spacer. It just happened to be the perfect 1/2 that I needed. Use four 2in screws on each board. Wait to place the last board until you have attached the rope. You may have to dig the ground a bit on the bottom to place the last board.
Step 13: Attach Rope and Rocks
Using a 1/2in drill bit, make a hole in the top board (see picture 1) and pass the rope through it. Tie a knot in the end of the rope and using a 4in screw attach it to the support post. Tie knots in the rope every 12in to 18in. Attach the rope to the bottom board, leave as much slack at you can then attach the board to the uprights.
Place your rocks on the boards. Mark the holes using a pencil then drill your holes using the appropriate drill size (I used 5/16in).
Attach the rocks with the bolts.
Step 14: Wash and Wax
Clean the slide of any dust and debris that might have collected while you were putting it up.
Let it dry and wax it using normal car wax. This will give your slide a nice shine and help protect it from scratches.
Step 15: Blast Off!!
Time to relax and let the kids play!!

looking at the pics I thought you used the tracing paper trick for the 3D effect for the planets but they are painted on, good work on the shading. If you do another living graphic project try printing a graphic on tracing paper lightly coating the back with a contrasting color then spay glue the cut out graphic to your paint job and use you impressive shading skills to shade around it. I've done it a couple of times with children's photo's and people always think it's a meticulously painted portrait, they are stunned to find out it's paper. Anyhow Amazing masking skill and shading, good job.
That slide is out of this world! Waka, waka, waka!!! LOL Great job.
This is SUPER AWESOME!!!!!

Obtaining permission from the court to take your children to live overseas
To take a child from England & Wales to another country you will need permission from everyone who has parental responsibility or, if child proceedings are ongoing, permission from the court. If you remove a child from England & Wales without the appropriate permission you will be deemed, under the Hague Convention on Child Abduction, to have abducted the child. Therefore, it is very important to seek legal advice at an early stage.
With the move from custody to parental responsibility, shared care arrangements and the presumption of involvement from both parents it has become more difficult for one to relocate to another country.
The Children Act contains no specific provision for permission to relocate and so the court will focus on whether it is in the best interests of the welfare of the child.
In addition to considering the welfare of the child the court will also need to be convinced that any relocation is not a veiled attempt to deprive the remaining parent of contact.
So any application made must be very clear on the reasons for the relocation such as improved career prospects. Considering how contact can be maintained including travel and video calls will help to support a well thought through application. As will presenting a clear picture of what the child's life would be in their new home with details on education, child care and family support.
Case Study A - Child removed to USA by mother returned to UK based father
We acted for a father whose child aged 2 had been wrongfully retained in the USA by the mother. After Hague Convention proceedings the mother was obliged to return the child to England. She chose deliberately to live 250 miles from the previous family home.
The father made excellent notes of conversations between them where the mother had threatened the father that if he insisted that the mother and child had to return to England that she would make life as difficult as possible for him.
The mother made allegations of domestic violence against the father. She also made an application to relocate back to the USA with the child. The court decided that the child be joined as a party to proceedings due to the totally different perspectives of the mother and the father. The court also decided that the mother's allegations of violence should be tested at the same hearing. The mother indicated that her friend in the USA was only a friend whereas the father said that he was in a relationship with her.
We also discovered that the male friend had been successfully sued in the USA in his position as a teacher for inappropriate touching. The mother indicated to the court that she intended to move back to the USA even if the court said that the child should stay in England.
At the final hearing the judge decided that there was no substance to allegations domestic violence. He was also very concerned about the mother's male friend especially as it became apparent in proceedings that the mother was wearing an engagement ring from the male friend.
The judge decided when using the children act checklist that the welfare of the child was best served by residing with the father in England. True to her word the mother returned to the USA to live with her male friend without the child. Therefore the mother's application was relocation was refused and the father was delighted by the outcome.
Case Study B - Mother successful in application to take children with her to Canada
We acted for a mother who wanted to return to Canada with her 14 year old twins. The father and the mother separated in 2010. There was then a series of Children Act proceedings. The mother asked the father whether he would consent to the children relocating to Canada.He refused.
Before our involvement the mother went to Court to try to issue the application. The High Court judge listed the matter on notice so that the father could attend. At the next hearing the father had attended with a senior barrister (QC) he said that the children were not safe with the mother, that there needed to be an interim Care Order. That the risk of the children being with the mother needed to be assessed by what is called a section 37 order. There was also an order that a child psychologist should prepare a report to assist the court. The mother then instructed us.
The children then managed to get their own representation as they were clear that they wanted to relocate to Canada. The court allowed the children to have their own voice in the proceedings. The local authority, where the children lived, confirmed that they were safe living with the mother. The judge at the pre-trial review was very pleased with the detailed evidence provided by ourselves on behalf of the mother and also placed great weight on the children's wishes and feelings. He made an order that the children could relocate to Canada with the mother. The mother was delighted with the outcome and the children are now happily settled in Canada with her.

The Costs of American Littering
Over 51 billion pieces of litter land on U.S. roadways each year. Most of it, 46.6 billion pieces, is less than four inches, according to Keep America Beautiful's (KAB) 2009 National Visible Litter Survey and Litter Cost Study. That's 6,729 items per mile.
While visible roadside litter has decreased by about 61% since 1969, litter is still a persistent problem. Consider these facts:
- Litter cleanup costs the U.S. almost $11.5 billion each year, with businesses paying $9.1 billion. Governments, schools, and other organizations pick up the remainder.
- Community economy and quality of life suffer. The presence of litter in a community takes a toll on quality of life, property values, and housing prices. KAB's 2009 National Visible Litter Survey and Litter Cost Study found that litter in a community decreases property values 7%.
- Litter has environmental consequences. Wind and weather, traffic, and animals move litter into gutters, lawns and landscaped areas, alleyways, and parking structures. Debris may be carried by storm drains into local waterways, with potential for serious environmental contamination.

I play a lot of different Caldara decks but this one looks like a culmination.
Since last cycle, we have a lot of card that have increased the power of Caldara decks. My firsts Caldara decks were based on the combination of Zigil Miner and Imladris Stargazer for discard and resources. But it was slow to setup and on some Nightmare deck, it was very difficult. With the release of Arwen Undómiel, we have gain the discard and resources capacity immediately and so increase the velocity of this kind of deck. In the same time, we also gain Sword-thain. It allow to have one more hero and so increase the efficiency of Caldara with one more ally bringing into life. With Emery + Sword-thain, we can in first turn bring from discard pile three ally.
Another weakness of Caldara decks is the punch ! The lack of attack could be an automatic defeat on some scenario. Warden of Annúminas bring some attack but the release of Glorfindel ally increase the punch of Caldara deck. In fact, this ally bring 3 , but can be readied easily with card discarding that is great for Caldara deck.
With my first version, i was able to beat some Nightmare decks but with these newest cards the deck become powerfull. I have beaten some hard NM decks like Into Ithilien with a correct ratio.
Flame of west bring a last card : Prince Imrahil ally. It allows Caldara to bring 4 ally into play with an Sword-thain spirit ally or 3 in the first turn. Discarding Caldara have now zero default and we gain a more powerfull hero with 2 .
With all these cards, the deck could quest hard with resilient ally like Pelargir Shipwright which can quest for 4 or fight hard with a lot of strong ally (Northern Tracker, Warden of Annúminas, Glorfindel, Háma, Elfhelm, Prince Imrahil). With 4 heroes, Caldara ability is just crazy. You can defend a lot of attack by loosing ally then use Caldara capacity to bring back those ally ready for counter attack. The statistic of ally allow to be able to quest with efficiency on or or and so win against scenario from third cycle. The majority of the ally have more than one Hit point which give a great resilience to some nasty direct damage treachery card. Elven Jeweler and Emery bring a lot of discard effect. Mirror of Galadriel allow to easily find critical card and the discard effect wasn't a problem :
- If it's an ally : Great exactly what i want
- If it's a spirit attachement or event : Well no problem Dwarven Tomb or Map of Earnil will bring back in hand the discarded card.
Galadriel bring card draw and threat reduction. Her passive action allow to send ally to quest and keep them to handle enemies which is helpfull for first turn.
Now this deck is not totally dependent of combination of Prince Imrahil or Sword-thain with Caldara. This version could be very aggressive or purely control depending the opening hand. If we haven't the combo in hand, we can easily decrease the threat and maintain it at low level with Galadriel. We put in play strong quester and let enemies in staging area. I have played Encounter at Amon Din Nightmare with only one combat : Ghulat and let 10 enemies in staging. With no combat and so no Shadow, the deck have limited the number of death villager and finally win. So depending on the scenario or the opening hand, we can be very agressive by putting a lot of strong ally in play or put in play strong questing character to advance on the quest and control encounter.
For very long scenario, i have a special combo which allow to play indefinitely Fortune and Fate or any spirit card :
First have an empty deck.
1) Play a map of earnil on a dwarven tomb to retrieve a spirit card 2) Dwarven tomb goes to the bottom of your empty deck 3) Draw a card (Galadriel, Planning phase, Elven Light etc ...) which is Dwarven tomb 4) Play Dwarven tomb on Map of Earnil 5) Play Map of Earnil (For free when 4 heroes which is common in Caldara deck) 6) Go back to one
When your deck is empty you can each turn retrieve a spirit card in your discard pile, it allows to use ressources even if deck is empty. The only limit is card draw and ressources. But with this combo, you can control the encounter deck for 25 turns (Yes, it's the number of turns i needed to beat Dol Guldur NM).
The side is just for multi games where some unique cards could be played by other players or for some specific scenario (like Nenya and Henamarth Riversong for the Watcher in the Water Nightmare).
The deck have impressive result on Nightmare decks :
- NM cycle 1 (except Rhosgobel and Dol Guldur on the 50th attempt)
- NM cycle 2 (With side for Watcher in the water)
- NM cycle 3
- Ford of Isen NM, To catch an Orc NM, Into Fangorn NM, Trouble in Thalbard NM, Nin In Eilph NM, Secret of Celebrimbor NM, Antlered Crown NM
- We Must Away, Ere Break of Day NM, Dungeons Deep and Caverns Dim NM, Over the Misty Mountains Grim NM, Flies and Spiders NM
- Battle of Carn Dum
90% were passed at the first attempt, 9.9999999% at the second and Dol Guldur at the 50th (approximation :D ).
I will continue with the remaining NM (Dunland Trap, Three trials, Lost realm and the last sagas) ! But with these result, i can easily said that Caldara decks are very strong.
Edit as said by my mate (Hirgon) : Power of Orthanc wasn't in the deck but in the side.

Sorry a mistake on my deck.
The power of Orthanc are in side not in the deck :(
Aug 16, 2016
Wow impressive and only babes !
Why Shadows Give Way in side ?
Aug 16, 2016
Aug 16, 2016
Looks amazing!
Aug 16, 2016
My kind of deck. Thanks for the ideas!
Aug 17, 2016
Undoubtedly one of the best decks in the game, able to win any quest, even in nightmare mode!
Aug 17, 2016
Nothing left to be said, a really strong deck that can pass most of the nightmares quests !
If this is your kind of deck, this version is really solid !
Once again, Good Job 13 !
Aug 18, 2016
Dol Guldur NM on 50th attempt! That's perseverance! :D
Aug 18, 2016
Aug 18, 2016
The lonely Mountain NM passed at the third attempt with the side of Shadows Give Way in order to avoid multiple attacks from Smaug.
Aug 20, 2016
Add some success :
Aug 20, 2016
Totally epic moment on The Three Trials NM with one of my most entertaining game ! Victory on first attempt !
Aug 23, 2016
Still trying to pass Ford of Isden NM.... last try (the 4th) I almost won.
Aug 23, 2016
I will retry this one. Don't remember it was so tough on this scenario !
Aug 23, 2016
Yes ! I enjoy more and more the Caldara deck. It's not normally a play style I go for, and you must play with the deck a few times before gasping the mechanic.
But when it works... it works pretty well!!! I beat Fords... and I tried To catch an Orc once and went pretty far... but the 20 cards set aside deck makes it quite challenging. ;-)
Aug 23, 2016
Yes, i need two attempts to Beat To Catch an Orc NM. This quest is a good challenge. As you said, Caldara isn't easy to handle. But when you understand how it works, it's powerfull and fun !
I have just retry Fords of Isen NM two try, two victory. One of them, 8 ennemies in staging so long at the last step.
More result :
Aug 24, 2016
Still trying To catch an Ord... and getting screwed more than once by the Mentheras peak location, where X is the number of characters you control... which ads around 14 to 16 to the staging area...
Also, when you must deal with 2 or more ennemies in one turn, you usually get in trouble, because ennemies become hard to kill. :-P
Aug 24, 2016
Aug 24, 2016
It was a mistake. Power of Orthanc are in side not in main deck.
Aug 25, 2016
This quest is definitively a big challenge :)
These two cards are painfull :
hallofbeorn.com hallofbeorn.com
Plus the 20 cards set aside ...
I found that this quest need some luck (i have passed it with different decks).
Three more try and only one victory. So i am at 2/5 for this quest with this deck !
Aug 25, 2016
Yeah, it's very fun by chalenging, and yes, the Lookout is bad news!
I've also tried with a Dunedain/Rohan deck, and almost won on the 3rd try, but ended up with 8 ennemies (I drew a Vigilant orc AND Mugash from my out of play deck at the same time, so it killed me....)
Aug 25, 2016
Some new results :
Aug 26, 2016
I beat To Catch an Orc nightmare with a powerful Ents deck.
I enjoyed the Caldara deck, thnaks for sharing it!!!
Sep 10, 2016
Very powerful deck, Prince Imrahil is the star for me in this one. His role in this deck is very much how he was in Return of the King, and although his art depicts him as a medieval Klaus Kinsky it is still great.
Well rounded stats and basically guarantees an extra ally revival for each Caldara special action usage. If you can get an early Prince Imrahil and Sword-thain (on practically anyone) you can pump out 16 allies over a game where the engine is roaring, for the low-low cost of 15 if you don't bring her back on her fourth special action usage.
I threw in a Galadhrim's Greeting and my threat usually hovered around 22, got as low as 11 one game. Easily one of my favourite decks, kudos to you!
Sep 19, 2016
Some new Results :
A French video of a game with this deck : www.youtube.com
Sep 19, 2016
I am looking forward to trying this deck out on The Drowned Ruins to see if I can quest hard and fast on Underwater locations. What do you mean when you say, "Start with an Empty Deck?"
Sep 19, 2016
No need of a Caldara deck for Drowned ruins. Don't flip grotto location and prepare as long as you need. When ready, rush.
I am not fluent in English. I mean : First have an empty deck (By drawing discarding etc ...)
Oct 03, 2016
I m going to prepare this deck to my sauce hope an to get as many fun as I had with my first version of Caldara. With your results it seems to work very Well. Well done Freechie ! Don t hesitate to check his other decks because hé is just awsome !
Dec 18, 2016
Very nice deck. Playing one similar myself too.
I think you can't ever get 4 allies back with Caldara's ability since you either have a 4th hero with Sword-thain or you have Prince Imrahil in the place of Caldara.
Prince Imrahil gets the hero card type only when Caldara is in your discard pile and Caldara brings 1 ally for each other hero you control so can get up to 3 allies when Sword-thain is in play.
Dec 18, 2016
It works ! Caleb Grace have gave an official answer.
When you use Caldara capacity, Prince Imrahil is counted as an hero :)

A masterpiece. This is the deck which made me actually buy packs for specific cards.
In my version I only made some slight changes, like Tale of Tinúviel (which has already been suggested) and Rhovanion Outrider.
What I love about the deck is that it's so universal. It performs well against most scenarios, it can be used solo or in multiplayer rounds, and it is always a lot of fun to play.
Jul 07, 2017
Some modification on the deck :
-1 Hasty Stroke +1 Jubayr
One of the strongest defender ally with shadow cancellation.
New Result :
Dec 11, 2017
Well the new FAQ has killed this deck ... But, it killed my fun too. So, i will ignore the errata and continue to use this deck only on NM quest. I will continue to update it with new content.

What is Industry 4.0?
We're amidst a huge change with respect to the manner in which we produce items on account of the digitization of assembling. This change is convincing to the point that it is being called Industry 4.0 to speak to the fourth revolution that has happened in assembling. From the primary modern insurgency (motorization through water and steam control) to the large scale manufacturing and mechanical production systems utilizing power in the second, the fourth modern upheaval will take what was begun in the third with the appropriation of PCs and computerization and upgrade it with savvy and self-ruling frameworks filled by information and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The path to industry 4.0 is not a direct path regardless of what any salesperson tells you. There is no magic software or single major overhaul in automation that can lead a manufacturer from legacy current state to a Smart Factory overnight. This process is like peeling an onion and should be done layer by layer. At IndustLabs we always take a more personalized approach that starts with becoming intimate with your manufacturing process. Often not starting with automation but working to repair or re-program existing automation systems to work more optimally that can sometimes lead to major improvements.
An example of this early stage approach can be found in this case study where we doubled the productivity of a flour products Food manufacturer by simply automating systems that we're already connected. By simply optimizing their Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) program logic, they we're able to produce 2 tons of flour product from their original 1 ton. All from a small PLC programming service call. Eliminating their need to spend millions building a 3rd manufacturing station inside their facility.
Check it out here: food-beverage-manufacturer-doubles-production-with-automation/
How smart is your factory?
Build a smart factory with AI and IoT. Increase operational visibility, predict equipment failure and process-related loss and prescribe corrective actions. Be proactive and not reactive with Industry 4.0. Over 1 terabyte of data production data is created daily by the average factory, but less than 99% of that data is not being analyzed by manufacturers. Did you also know that one hour of downtime can cost you over $100,000. Shift from reactive to predictive maintenance using artificial intelligence and industrial IoT. See how IndustLabs IoT can help you achieve the most uptime.
How do we become Industry 4.0?
At IndustLabs we take a four Tier approach to Industry 4.0
Innovation 1 – Maximize Your Existing Capacity
We start with the basics, how can your current automation processes flow from start to finish with no human intervention. Through conveyors, sensors, lifts, actuators, etc. Even if many of the processes in your manufacturing process still require manual labor, if you have invested in automation, we do not want those investments to be idle during production. If you have queues built up waiting for someone to load or move product from one process station to the next you are not maximizing your capacity. The slowest bottle neck in your process is the maximum capacity of your manufacturing process. Constant flow of product into that process should never be idle.
Innovation 2 – Eliminate or Decrease Your Manufacturing Bottlenecks
Once we reach Tier 2 we start looking at all the bottle necks we identified in Tier 1. How do we eliminate or reduce our customers bottle necks. Our experience across so many different industries has provided us the experience needed to solve complex problems.
Often however, the solutions are simpler than most people realize. For example, we have a customer whose largest bottle neck was a conveyor used to paint large 30' rods at the end of their refurbishing process. The rods have to dry for 20 minutes on this conveyor which lead to large queues of product waiting to be painted. They did not have the factory square footage to extend the length of the conveyor or add a second queue. They did however have a lot of space from floor to ceiling. We built a custom linear actuator to build a 2nd layer of conveyor with a simple expansion process to continue building higher as time goes on.
Innovation 3 – Complex Automation Opportunities with Industry 4.0
Our 3rd approach after working through bottle necks is to start combining more complex automation solutions. This
often includes vision systems or robotics combined with Machine Learning. If a human is required to inspect a product for defects for example, a vision system can perform the same checks. If you feed images into a Machine Learning system and teach the machine what a pass looks like, identifying anomalies can be automated and product rejects can be tracked, counted, and analyzed to reduce waste.
Innovation 4 – Digitize Operations to turn data into Business Analytics
The final approach, once we have conveyors, sensors, advanced automation techniques, all built with data telemetry in mind from day one, we turn that data into business analytics.
Data combined with machine learning and Artificial Intelligence leads to continuous improvement and optimization throughout the life cycle of your product. Predictive maintenance so you can schedule down time instead of paying overtime to make up for lost productivity. Finding anomalies in your production to discover causes of increased product waste. Finding new bottlenecks in production so you can continue to scale.

Ageing Gracefully: 7 Ways To Keep Your Senior Dog Happy And Healthy
- 11/01/2020
Our dogs are our best friends, so we want to do everything we can to keep them happy and healthy. These 7 tips will help you give your senior dog the best care.
Dogs are an important part of life. In fact, for many us, they are members of the family. They become our most faithful friends and it's hard to imagine life without them.
As our dogs age, they require special care and develop certain needs they didn't have when they were just pups. It's important to care for a senior dog the proper way if you want your special furry buddy to remain healthy and happy for as long as possible.
So what does it take to keep geriatric dogs living their best lives? Let's take a look at some things you can do for older dogs to help them stay around for many years to come.
1. Remember That Age Is Merely a Number
Your dog might be getting older, yet keep in mind that age is just a number. No matter how many years they've been around, the key to a long happy life is good health and nutrition.
Keeping your senior pupper looking younger than their actual age is simpler than you might imagine. It mostly comes down to keeping them at the proper weight with the healthiest food possible.
Daily exercise is also crucial. Dogs love nothing more than to go on a good walk in the fresh air and sunshine. And this type of exercise is ideal for keeping their heart and lungs healthy and strong.
2. Supplements
As dogs age, their needs change. Feeding them the right food is of primary importance, and yet even the most nutrition-rich foods might not be enough to get them everything their bodies need for optimum health.
At a certain age, your pup will require supplements in order to get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. Fish oil is one of the top supplements for senior dogs. It's good for the heart and joints, improves the health of their skin and coat, and also serves as an anti-inflammatory.
CBD hemp oil for dogs is another type of supplement that can help your dog remain healthy as she gets older.
Just be aware that it's always best to consult with your vet before adding any supplements to your pet's diet.
3. Keep Your Older Dog Active, But Try Not to Overdo It
There's no denying the importance of keeping your dog active. And yet it's equally important not to overdo any physical activity. After all, as your dog ages, they won't recover as quickly as when they were younger. Also, their muscles will not always have the same level of endurance.
Remember to go at a casual pace. Give your buddy a chance to sniff out new smells, make friends, and just enjoy being outside. There's no reason to be in a hurry.
Keep in mind that this leisurely pace might not feel much like exercise to you, but getting out of the house and enjoying the outdoors is really all your older dog needs to be adequately stimulated.
4. Make Sure They Get Proper Dental Care
Believe it or not, one of the more important parts of your dog's overall wellbeing is good dental care. As dogs age, their teeth become more sensitive and they are more prone to various health issues, including heart disease and kidney disease.
Many people don't focus enough on good dental care for their pets. But it's important to take the time to brush your dog's teeth each day if possible. Ask your vet for the type of toothpaste they recommend for taking care of your dog's daily dental regimen.
5. Keep Your Dog's Mind Sharp
Everyone knows that dogs love to play. And one of the best ways to keep them in top health is by engaging them in activities that engage their mind.
Dogs love a challenge. Whether it's an activity like a food puzzle or a scent game, nothing makes a senior dog happier than being mentally stimulated.
As your dog gets older, they will become more susceptible to a condition called canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome. CCDS often manifest themselves in a variety of ways, such as wandering aimlessly, general confusion, loss of interest in normal activities, and loss of housetraining.
The reasons behind CCDS aren't yet fully understood, and thus specific strategies for prevention haven't been developed at this time. And so it's important to keep your dog mentally stimulated in an effort to slow down the onset of cognitive dysfunction.
Another way to help reduce cognitive dysfunction is to eliminate anxiety and stress from your dog's life as much as possible. A happy, stable, secure home is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.
6. Take them on Special Trips
Dog's love getting out. It's exciting and fun for them to get out of the house and ride in the car. Going on an outing to somewhere special or for a play date with friends makes them feel loved.
This is also a great way to give your pet the kind of one-on-one attention they crave. This is such a simple way to help them to feel special and happy. And the happier your senior dog feels, the more likely they are to live a longer, healthier life.
7. Give Your Dog Plenty of Love
The simple truth about your dog is that you can never give them too much love. In fact, dogs probably have a greater need for physical affection than people do.
Cuddling on the couch or in bed is a great way to give your dog the type of physical contact that will help her feel safe and secure. In fact, cuddling is one of the best things you can do to help your dog stay healthy and happy, no matter how old they are.
Making the Best Life for Your Senior Dog
Learning how to make an old dog happy isn't complicated. It's a simple matter of better understanding of what their needs are. A senior dog just needs lots of love and proper nutrition to keep both of you smiling for years to come!

Recently I have attended an IoT conference where three presentations caught my attention:
Presentation 1: Development of IoT. This presentation was held by an IoT expert representing a renowned IT company. He proudly spoke about pioneering IoT projects his company is working on:
(1) A smart house, equipped with sensors from sofa to the main gate, with a notification feature in case of any abnormal activities.
(2) A robot arm which performs a quality assurance test by detecting flaws in a manufactured part and communicating the error via sound or speech. The message delivered: These robots are being taught, by means of AI, to take over the human work. The presentation of these projects elicited a big round of applause as the audience just witnessed the future development of the digitally empowered products and AI. The whole enthusiasm turned into confusion as the second speaker came up with his presentation.
Presentation 2: Disruption of IoT. This presentation was held by a cybersecurity startup company, founded by a couple of ethical hackers, which highlighted the risks of minor security loopholes in almost all IoT applications. The speaker ended most of his statements with "this can ruin the end user or even lead to fatal consequences". Examples he provided included hacking and manipulating a pace-maker, remote hijacking a plane, manipulating a smart house to cause a false alarm or open the doors, hacking the industrial IoT to manipulate the processes, copying bitcoins and so on. For those who think that brownfield manufacturing is still an unknown world for hackers: The last 5 minutes of his time, he utilized hacking live into a legacy SCADA system. What the gentleman also stated is that the hackers are always a step ahead of what society thinks the latest development in the field of cybersecurity and that the hackers view each and every sensor as a potential "doorway" to the system sitting behind it. His presentation left us all questioning the digitalization trend (or opening more doors to the hackers) and associated risks.
Presentation 3: Disruption by IoT. The speaker from a renowned MNC highlighted the upcoming manpower crisis. The creation and operation of IoT applications oftentimes demand a different set of skills. Companies are investing heavily in IoT projects and they are either hiring IT experts or outsourcing the complete development. This comes at the cost of shutting down entire business units and laying off hundreds of employees. Big organizations term it as restructuring. But the story does not end here. Once the smart machines take over more human jobs, then there will be an era of huge job scarcity. What will the society do with workers (let's say all with an average age of 50), whose work has been taken over by the sophisticated robots?
I guess I do not have to tell you how these three cases are interlinked. These three presentations gave the audience a good food for thought as everyone was talking about them in one or the other context. The discussion however revolved around one question which I would like to ask here as well:
How much of IoT is too much?

Cowboy boots are now one of the mainstays in the fashion world but it is very important that this type of boot is worn in the correct style with the proper outfit. Here we go over how to wear cowboy boots for women- the top 3 ways.
Over top of jeans is one of the ways top stylists are recommending to wear your cowboy boots. A pair of skinny jeans or straight leg jeans will fit easily into your boots and provide a few great features.
They show off the boot more, taper your look down towards your feet which will enhance your curves and provides your outfit with a great clean look at the bottom. Not to mention that having your jeans tucked in will keep them clean and hopefully save them from fraying. Pair this look with a short cut leather jacket and a belt with a bold buckle and you are on your way to putting together one great outfit.
Cowboy boots with a skirt or dress has become a classic fashion style. The two main points to keep in mind when trying to pull off this look are the length of dress and picking proper colors or patterns. Cowboy boots look best with a dress that is just above knee height but no more than 8″ above the knee. As for colors and patterns almost anything works as long as the boots pattern or colors do not clash with the dress because can be dramatic pieces that hold lots of visual weight. Go for a light fun simple black dress with a solid color boot throw in a over sized bag and some fashionable sunglasses to finish the outfit off.
Tights or leggings is the last of the top 3 ways to wear cowboy boots. They fit inside the boots nicely, show off your legs without showing any skin, come in all sorts of colors or patterns and usually feel great to wear. Same as with the dress it is important that the boots don't clash with tights so if you have say red cowboy boots go for plain black or gray leggings. Got black cowboy boots? Then almost anything will go with them, try black tights with a longer colourful top with an empire waist. Looking for clothing to wear with your cowboy boots?

Download VIDEO: DJ Khaled - Just Us (feat. SZA).MP4 & 3GP
Rated 4.6/5 based on 127 reviews
's son Asahd was listed as executive producer of his father's 10th album,
Grateful. Still the apple of his father's eye some two years later, the
heir to the throne is honored in an album title, the hit-making producer
rebranding himself as simply Father of
. For all the inspiration parenthood might have given him, though, Khaled
is still a masterful curator of unlikely collaborations, uniting
disparate forces of culture like
, Chance the Rapper, and
on "No Brainer" while placing New Jersey native and G.O.O.D. Music
signee 070 Shake among dancehall royalty Buju Banton, Sizzla, and Mavado
on "Holy Mountain." In these, Khaled is able to bridge gaps in music
and cross-pollinate fan bases, revealing a compatibility that only he'd
known until that point. There are of course the pairings of like-minded
artists who had yet to share a song with each other (Nipsey Hussle and
John Legend on "Higher," Travis Scott and Post Malone on "Celebrate"),
which present long-adored artists in a new light, and also a couple of
solo showcases (SZA's "Just Us," Big Sean's "Thank You"). But if there's
anything Khaled is really showing his son with this project, it's that
daddy's been doing this a long time.

When Joan Reid gave birth to her first child Lorelle— Flossie as she was later nicknamed— Joan had no idea what lay ahead. Joan was pregnant with her second child when her life changed dramatically. Doctors diagnosed Flossie as having organic brain damage.
Joan has always been determined to get the best outcome for Flossie. It often results in her views being incompatible with those of the welfare department who is responsible for disabled people living in their care. She is undaunted by the challenge.
Joan received commendations for her entries in the Fellowship of Australian Writers 2004 and 2008 National Literary Awards. Those commendations inspired her to write I've Been Good So Far, the story of Flossie's life.

President's "huge" tax plan misses this secret [retire 100% tax-free!]
This 100% Legal Tax Haven Could Pay You $6,842 a Month
Ted Benna, the man widely credited as the "father" of the 401(k), is now advocating for a radically different type of plan he's calling the "501(k)"…
These little-known plans are 100% legal tax havens
already being used by
at least 54 different U.S. Congressmen and White House officials
For millions of American seniors, the 501(k) could grow their money 40 times faster than many of today's most common accounts, and deliver $6,842 or more in tax-free income every month.
That's because, unlike 401(k)s and IRAs, these new non-governmental plans have
almost zero stock market risk
and can be used to generate guaranteed returns.
recently admitted
he's moved a good portion of his family's money into these 501(k) alternatives. And the most recent estimates show an additional 500,000 Americans are also jumping on board.
Despite this, most retirees have never heard of the 501(k) and would be shocked to learn about the potential benefits, as well as who's using it.
Your name was chosen to receive one of 5,000 copies
Why so little-known? Simple. Government restricts theadvertising for some parts of the 501(k), even though they're 100% legal (in fact, even President Reagan and Hillary Clinton have used some of these ideas).
That's why Benna recently put together a
comprehensive new book to go over the details, and to show how anyone can easily get started.

5 Things I'd Tell Myself About Being An Entrepreneur
April 1, 2019
50 years from now: what would you tell yourself about being an entrepreneur? Matthew Tukaki, founder of Entrehub, shares his advice with us. Check it out!
I turned 40 last year and as I sat back chatting away with a group of friends who are heading towards the big 50 I heard a lot of "if only" or "should have" or "I only wish". We were talking about working for the man and being employed as opposed to being a business owner. I firmly fell into the latter category and have mostly started my own businesses or have been an investor in others.
In fact, if you had have told me at 17 when I pretty much dropped out of school that 23 years later I would have run a billion dollar company, chair a university institute or have represented Australia on a UN body I would have honestly said you had rocks in your head.
But there it is. So, the more we chatted, and keep in mind there are highly respected business executives and academic leaders, the more I realised that no matter how successful they all were working for someone else they all felt as if something was missing.
Now, rarely do I pontificate in my circle of friends because when we get together on a Friday night for a few beers we usually just talk sport and manly type things like fishing and who has a bigger boat – but this time I decided to give them advice – these are the five things I would tell my 50 year old self (or for that matter 60, 70 or 80 year old self) about being an entrepreneur:
#1 It's Never Too Late.
It doesn't matter how old you are or at what age you decided to bring an idea to life. The key is not getting right to the end of life and being regretful. Do it, don't regret it.
#2 Harness Your Experience.
Life experience matters. It shapes us and it enables us to look at problems through a different lens. We tend to second guess that life experience; don't, harness it.
#3 Failure Is Still Ok.
Failure is still okay at 50 just as it was at 30 and at 18. Lessons are part of our life long journey and right up until our last breath we would have learnt something new.
#4 Planning Is Still Essential.
Mapping ideas and putting structure around them are still important at 50 as they were at 18. This time the goals and objectives may be a little different so still set them.
#5 Be Clear On Your Exit Strategy.
As we get older it becomes more important to work towards independence in retirement. Make sure you map your time line for exit to meet your plans for retirement.
The reality is life tends to teach us all lessons at different points and one lesson above all else has always stood out for me: have a go. My message to you – have a go.

Android SDK/ADT r12 emulator screen problem
I had been eagerly waiting to get done with my current project so I could upgrade the ADT/SDK for android to r12. I'm glad I waited.
When I fire up the emulator after updating I get the following screen.
Update : Thankfully, it's a known problem http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18299
I had used -scale 0.5 to get an emulator window that fits my laptop screen. The simple workaround is to just use -scale 0.49 until the r13 ADT is out.
