We are dedicated to helping you make gift giving beautiful and easy.
As the oldest family owned jewelry store in Lakeland, Gaines is a treasure trove of the most exciting and unique inventory in the area. From fine jewelry finds to gifts for every occasions, this store is now serving its fourth generation of customers.
The store was founded in 1935 during the swell of the great depression by George L. Gaines and his humble watch repair kit. Over the years, as it relocated several times throughout the downtown area, it became much more than a watch repair store. Finally, in 1960, our current location at 112 S Tennessee Ave. was purchased. Here, the store continued to be a time honored pillar to Lakeland. In December of 2017 the family business shifted from one local family to another when it was purchased by Gina Saunders.
Since then, we have honored the past while working to keep this Lakeland legend alive and we believe a customer said it best when they said it is, "the perfect refresh to the classic."

Rotala Macrandra 'Mini' Butterfly
Rotala Macrandra 'Mini' is a highly sought-after species that is characterized by its unique leaf shape and deep red to magenta hues. It makes for a beautiful background plant in nano planted aquariums and as a midground choice in larger planted aquariums. Quality lighting, CO2, and soft water are essential to promote growth. Beyond this, micronutrients are required if intense deep colors are desired. Individual stems should also be given sufficient space when planted as planting them too closely together will render the lower leaves void of light. A diamond in the rough, Rotala Macrandra 'Mini' is very demanding and can be difficult to keep, but results are well worth the extra effort and rewarding if successful.

Bad feeling
I have this nagging thought and feeling that my sister's way of talking and interacting with people will cut her life short... like she will p*** someone off so bad, that someone would physically exert pain to her to get her to stop.
It's complicated. Does it have to be? I need to find a solution. I care for her. She doesn't think she has a problem. From observation, I think she may not want to admit how severe her approach/attitude is.
I fear she will suffer pain or death because of her personality. It makes me sad that I feel hopeless.
I write it here, because even though this is spitting it out into the universe, I feel at least I could say it but not put it in the universe, you know.
I only want the best for her health, sanity and life.
kinda broken hearted,
middle sis

We have worked with Blues since we began our Tan adventure. Although we really liked what we were getting out of our program, in 2006 we decided to revamp our Blue breeding plan from the ground up. We challenged our paradigms and focused on specific areas we felt could be improved. Fast forward to today, we are pleased with the results of the new focus. Our Blues tan factor is dead on consistent from their chin to the tip of their tails. Their surface color is a beautiful deep rich Blue with a shorter coat with excellent flyback resulting in crisp, clear markings. Our Blues do not have the frosting some breeders are struggling with in other parts of the country.
It has been an interesting adventure with this variety. If you are interested in talking about, working with and improving the Blue and Lilac varieties, we invite you to exchange your thoughts and ideas with fellow breeders.
If you would like to acquire one of our Blues,
please request to be added to our waiting list.

I've always been curious about furled leaders but have not tried making them so when I found this week's Fly Fishing Tip on making furled leaders I was pretty psyched.
So why bother making furled leaders? I asked the same question of some friends in one of the forums I belong to and here is what one had to say,
"Zero memory, they turn over much better then tapered leaders, they're cheap and fun to tie. I use 6 lb. test cheap Trilene for fresh water use, it takes about 22 feet to make a 5 foot leader then I add 4x tippet with a loop to loop connection and then 5x with a triple surgeons knot to finish the deal for a total of 10 feet. For salt water fishing I use 17 lb test for the furled leader and add 16 lb test fluorocarbon as a tippet."
If you have experience (good, bad or otherwise) making and/or fishing furled leaders, share your experience with our readers by leaving us a comment below.

Under a new Colombo Plan project, a 19-member team of Sport Scientists from Edith Cowan University in Australia will spend two weeks in Sri Lanka collaborating with counterparts at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura exchanging views and transferring expertise.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for academics to get to know each other, strengthen people-to-people contact, learn of each other's history, culture and way of life while imparting knowledge to achieve high order outcomes in the field of sport," said Rosh Jalagge, Honorary Consul for Sri Lanka in Western Australia who has actively fostered good relations between Australia and Sri Lanka, at the reception he hosted for the team prior to their departure. Rosh Jalagge provided a significant assistance throughout the implementation and execution of this project.
The Australian Team led by Associate Professor (Adjunct) Hallam Pereira will amongst other things, conduct Sport Science Tests on Sri Lankan athletes to determine shortcomings and help them to reach high performance in sport.
Furthermore, the team will demonstrate how Australia conducts Physical Education in schools with a view to encouraging children to enjoy physical activity and take responsibility to look after their own physical and mental health throughout future life.
A memorandum of understanding between the Sri Lankan Institute of Sport Medicine and the School of Medical and Health Sciences at Edith Cowan University will also be signed to facilitate the transfer of expertise and the conduct of joint research.

So you want to get health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act before the Jan. 31 deadline?
Head to the marketplace athealthcare.gov to research and compare health plans. These choices will affect both your costs and coverage so it's important to comparison shop.
All plans offered in the marketplace cover the same 10 essential health benefits: ambulatory patient services; emergency services; hospitalization; pregnancy, maternity and newborn care; mental health and substance use disorder services; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management; and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.
While each plan covers these services, the amount you pay versus how much your insurance provider pays will vary based on the plan tier you select.
The first step in picking a plan is to determine if you qualify for financial assistance.
"All marketplaces have a subsidy calculator. Put in your income and household size to see if you are eligible for financial assistance," says Karen Pollitz of the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Then, go to the marketplace, where most people will be pleasantly surprised by what they find.
"Rate increases were very conservative this year," says Elizabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives at Community Service Society of New York.
Premiums, which surged last year, have gone down in some cases.
"Generally, the news is good. If you were eligible for premium or tax credits last year then you will probably pay the same this year. Some insurance companies who left the Marketplace have come back in for 2019 so people may get more choices," Pollitz says.
The next step in the process is selecting a category of coverage within the four metal tiers: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The difference between tiers is the cost split between what the beneficiary pays versus what the insurance company pays. These costs include the monthly premium, annual deductible and out-of-pocket expenses such as co-payments and prescriptions.
For bronze plans, which feature the lowest premiums, the beneficiary pays 40% of health care costs and the insurance company 60%. In New York State, bronze plans will be free to individuals with incomes up to $25,000 and not eligible for Medicaid or the Essential Plan in every county of the state, and less than $50 a month for individuals with incomes up to $30,000 a year in 41 counties.
Bronze plans provide no-cost preventive care and protect against catastrophic costs despite having a higher annual deductible than other available plans, according to NY State of Health.
Premiums increase as you move up the metal tier ladder, as do the percentages that consumers pay. In silver plans, the most popular choice among New Yorkers, consumers pay 30% of health care costs.
However, when comparing plans, look beyond the premiums, factor in any financial assistance you may be eligible for and compare the range of plans.
Plan information is available at healthcare.gov andnystateofhealth.ny.gov.

CSDP is a project that adopts community driven development (CDD) approach.
Development experts and pro poor policy advocates have continued to see education as the bedrock of development for nations especially the developing ones. But access to it has remained a mirage in many cases especially among the poor and vulnerable, most of them living in the hinterland and below the poverty threshold. Overtime, development models adopted by government have against expectations widen the gap between the government good intention and the reality of benefits on the life of the targeted beneficiary.

Party Catering Kuraby QLD
8 Expert Tips For Selecting the Right Catering Service In Kuraby
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an event, few are as important as the quality, taste and appearance of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which caterer to employ, and if you believe this choice really isn't really that crucial, look at it by doing this, amazing catering can rescue an event that's on the rocks, however bad catering will almost always send out guests to the doors.
In addition, since catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for the majority of events, the catering service you select is also a substantial monetary choice and can influence just how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending upon food expenses and amounts.
Add in that caterers can differ considerably in their rates and the kinds of meals and services they provide, and the procedure of choosing a catering service can figuratively and actually feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Requirements
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, primarily because how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your initial discussions is indicative of how they will carry out during the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later on).
A potential catering service needs to be learning as much as they can about you in your very first couple of discussions with them, so you need to anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you providing responses and describing your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Manage Your Particular Type of Event In Kuraby 4112
Not every catering service is best or every kind of event, and many caterers themselves honestly admit this.
So when interviewing your Kuraby catering services (and you need to consult with a minimum of 3 catering services for any event with an affordable spending plan), you need to specify about the kind of occasion you are preparing and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you might wind up choosing a caterer who merely isn't a good fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every catering service has a basic menu or menus to pick from, and lots of do offer some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your particular needs by replacing particular items and/or customizing others.
However, the standout catering services will go beyond standardized menu choices and want to develop incredible fare that matches much more particular style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Willingness To Provide Tastings
How will you ever understand what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you know what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their event due to the fact that it seems like an inconvenience for the catering service, however it is standard to request for a tasting of exactly what you are meaning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small price to pay to ensure you choose the ideal catering service). When you are tasting the food, also attend to how it is presented, as any caterer who makes the effort to properly show a sample will most likely be more likely to make that sort of effort on your event day.
Are you an event supervisor who needs to handle catering information, budget plans and tasks?
Or are you a catering service who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You might remain in for a surprise if you employ a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom charity event. Or if you pick a high-end business occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Due to the fact that these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more specific depending on limitations of the venue itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
Much more conventional places can also have restrictions that catering services should follow, like particular setup requirements or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a caterer that recognizes with a venue's guidelines can potentially save you lots of trouble on event day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The catering service's agreement ought to plainly spell out precisely what food, beverages and services the catering service will be providing on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it ought to secure you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might wish to consider having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail must be consisted of in the agreement, consisted of selected menus, variety of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if relevant) and all rates and additional services.
No caterer in Kuraby with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with strategies to bail at the last minute, however you have to make sure there is a cancellation provision in your contract simply in case your caterer has to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your event, so just make certain cancellation procedures and charges are in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 Recommendations You Can Call and Speak With
Obviously you will need to check up on the caterers you are considering, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, don't stop there, as online reviews are not always reliable (or even authentic); for example, a great caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who alter their ratings, while a truly average catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can locate some previous customers of the caterers you are thinking about and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you certainly do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 An Experienced Chef and Kitchen Staff
Remarkably, how long a catering company in Kuraby has actually stayed in business might not be as vital in choosing an excellent caterer as you might think.
So ensure to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV because he or she will probably be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

I love music and I love amusement parks. I've never seen these two loves come together quite as well as in the Freestyle Music Park. Formerly Hard Rock Amusement Park, it's 55 acres of music, roller coasters and fun. Myrtle Beach has a lot of amusement parks, from water parks, to a NASCAR playground but I enjoyed Freestyle the most, just because of the overall music theme. The rides, shows and park areas all reference some aspect of pop music.
The Time Machine is Freestyle's signature roller coaster, with a 155 foot lift and six inversions and loops. I didn't get any where near this monster but my daughter rode it 3 consecutive times. The highlight is that the tracks have five separate audio tracks that you can choose while riding-60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.
I found it difficult to believe that riders would remember what tunes were playing as they whooshed through stomach-churning loops but my daughter reported hearing the Supremes for the 60s track, Michael Jackson for the 80s and Mariah Carey for the 90s.
The park is divided into different "lands," including Myrtle's Beach, Kids in America, Country USA and Across The Pond, with corresponding architecture and music.
As a big British Invasion fan, Across the Pond was a highlight for me. Strawberry Fields and Cream served ice cream and pastries with names like "Lucy in the Sky," that were lost on the young customers.
Then there was the requisite Double Decker bus with a London phone booth for good measure. Across the pond is also lined with shops selling Rolling Stone, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley (Bob first broke internationally across the pond in London) and Sex Pistols t-shirts.
There was even a Penny Lane Cafe complete with a Black Cab parked out front.
Homegrown music was also in the spotlight, with beautiful stained glass tributes to the Architect of Rock N' Roll, Little Richard.
As well as the Godfather of Soul, James Brown.
This cluster of geographical music group names also featured Berlin on the other side.
I loved spotting signs like this. Never knew rock, coffee and ice cream blended so well.

On April 12th RESIST-TB hosted a webinar on two presentations from the 2019 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI):
Presented by Kelly Dooley
High-dose isoniazid (INH) may be useful in treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), particularly when INH resistance is mediated by inhA mutations. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 'high-dose' INH as part of the new shorter MDR-TB regimen, the optimal dose and its efficacy are not established.
AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) A5312 is a Phase 2A randomized, open-label trial in which individuals with smear-positive pulmonary MDR-TB with INH resistance mediated by an inhA mutation (Group 1) were randomized to receive INH doses of 5, 10 or 15 mg/kg daily for 7 days. Controls with drug-sensitive TB (Group 2) received the standard INH dose of 5 mg/kg/day. Sputum cultures were collected daily, beginning at baseline. The early bactericidal activity of INH, estimated as the average daily change in log10 colony forming units (CFU) on solid media (EBACFU0-7) or average daily change in time to positivity (TTP) in hours on liquid media (EBATTP0-7) over 7 days of treatment was estimated using nonlinear mixed effects models. Safety data were collected from study entry through Day 21.
Dr. Dooley's webinar presentation: INHindsight Trial
Presented by Gary Maartens
Bedaquiline and delamanid are the first drugs of new classes approved for tuberculosis (TB) in 40 years. Both are oral, well-tolerated, and recommended for treatment of multidrug resistant (MDR) TB by WHO. However, these drugs and/or their metabolites have long half-lives, and each prolongs the QT interval with maximum effects weeks after drug initiation. The cardiac safety of these drugs given together as part of multidrug therapy has not been established.
AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) A5343 is a phase 2, open-label trial randomizing adults with MDR-TB receiving multidrug background treatment (MBT) 1:1:1 to receive bedaquiline (BDQ arm), delamanid (DLM arm) or both (BDQ+DLM arm) for 24 weeks. Patients with QTcF >450ms or CD4 count < 100 cells/mm3 were excluded. HIV-infected participants received dolutegravir-based ART. Clofazimine was not allowed, and levofloxacin was given in place of moxifloxacin. Three electrocardiograms (ECG) were performed at baseline, every two weeks for 24 weeks, then week 28. QTcF (in ms) was calculated by a core laboratory blinded to treatment. The mean QTcF change from baseline (averaged over weeks 8-24) was defined in each arm, and the QTcF change in the BDQ+DLM arm was compared to QTcF changes in the BDQ and the DLM arms. Grade 3 QTcF prolongation was defined as >500ms or >480ms with increase from baseline >60ms. Grade 4 was life-threatening dysrhythmia.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Rum was created in 1976 in the highlands of Guatemala, where it is distilled from fresh cane juice before aging at 7544 feet at 62 °F (17 °C).
The 500 year-old Spanish Sistema Solera method is used to age Ron Zacapa 23 in white oak casks. This results in a combination of rums aged between 6 and 23 years.
The current Ron Zacapa 23 bottle features a woven band around the middle, which is in reference to the original hand woven palm leaf petate bottle cover that covered the bottle.

Smooth wonderful and very good taste, my favourite rum.
If you haven't tried it yet pls do!
I have a handfull of all time favorites and this is one of them.
I love the sweet honey taste and can recommend this rum to anyone starting to drink rum.
Amazing, absolut amazing. Is sweet but it taste great and please never ruin it by mixing it with cola. This is a premium straight up rum.
Has a nice smell to it, does not taste like a rum that is super sweet. You know the ones, the ones that taste like syrup. This rum tastes like real rum. Simply the best Cuba libre I've ever had. It is a little pricey but I tell you, you will not regret it.
This is a great rum for sipping and for cocktails. It has a smooth finish with lots of depth. Vanilla and coffee notes to the taste. My favorite is putting it in an old fashioned with Angostura bitters and demarara syrup. So amazing!!!
This is my favourite rum. I don't sip a lot of rums straight but this one I enjoy.
Også en av mine favoritter, søt velbalansert og rund i kantene, må ikke blandes ut, nytes best i tulipanglass
Verdt å prøve👍
Nagyon karakteres, kellemes rum.... már csak egy jó szivar kell hozzá...
To me this rum has it all, sweetness of molasses, hint of oak and very smooth without being weak. Recommend to everyone and with a price of $44 where I live I put it well ahead of any comparable brandy or bourbon. I have tasted a better, but not many and nothing in that price range. When I introduce people to rum, this is what we taste last as the finale.
Sweet nectar of the gods! Molasses, cinnamon, dark sugar cane, every pleasant sweet flavor you can imagine is captured in this bottle. I like it better than the more expensive XO bottle. I've been enjoying a sip of this wonderful rum after dinner each night, and I sleep so well!
I am a major fan of Cruzan Single Barrel Rum. I tried the Ron Zacapa 15 at a friend's house and I was amazed. The Cruzan has more molasses in the nose, but the Zacapa had a richer flavor. I couldn't find the Zacapa 15, so I picked up the 23 Solera. Same result - not as much molasses in the nose, but richer tasting. Now I'd like to be able to compare it with the Zacapa 15. My friend likes the 15 better than the 23.
Very smooth Rum, Sweet and perfect to zip. One of my favorite. Great one!
I used to drive 4 hours to RI to buy it, I recommended it to a liquor store in Long Island, NY and now a lot of places have it. Nothing needs to be changed, smooth, taste delicious!
Incredibly smooth. Hints of chocolate, vanilla. Not harsh entering or on the finish. I've had many rums and this one is still by far the best.
Best rum I have tasted. Smooth and sweet, but not too sweet.
Very dark, with a full flavor. Is sweet but it taste great and please never ruin it by mixing it with cola. This is a premium straight up rum.
As a relatively new Rum drinker I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to this, but, this is still my favorite drink.
It is hard to find any faults in this rum. From the smell, the smoothness of the taste, the aftertaste, all just keeps me want to drink more. I always drink it neat or on the rock
I really enjoy this rum. I love the smell, sweetness and overall taste!
Teniendo en cuenta su precio y la calidad que atesora es sin duda uno de los mejroes rones del mundo en la actualidad.
This rum, in my opinion, may be the smoothest rum out there. I find ithat goes down a bit too smooth at times is troublesome because it disappears so fast. I recommend it straight, with whiskey stones, or maybe one ice cube as you don't want to water it down. The sweetness is there for sure but I personally don't feel it's overpowering. Not an every day drinker but more for occasion.
Beautiful sipping rum. Worth the money and is very smooth. Long legs in glass and looks as divine as it tastes

Hodnocení: Nedoporučuji začátečníkům! Panáka tohoto rumu jsem poprvé ochutnal jednou v hospodě (zdravím aoe scénu) ve značně pokročilém stádiu opilosti. I tak mi ale zůstal v hlavě (i po těch pivech jsem poznal, že prostě chutná jinak než všechno, co jsem do té doby pil) a byl jsem rozhodnut si jednou koupit celou láhev. Když pak nastal ten den a já v klidu ochutnal čerstvě otevřenou láhev, tak jsem byl zklámán. Žádná výrazná chuť, nuda, proč to stojí tolik... V té době jsem nebyl schopen to docenit.
(---- nyní přeskočíme o pár let a rumů kupředu ----).
Dnes si tento rum nemohu vynachválit. Přijde mi, že v sobě spojuje hodně dobrých vlastností ostatních rumů. Mísí v sobě spoustu chutí (vanilka, káva, kakao ...), z nichž žádná vyloženě nevyčnívá. Stejně tak se nachází přesně na pomezí mezi hořkostí a sladkostí. Má výrazný dozvuk a přitom si zachovává naprostou jemnost (toto slovo Zacapu charakterizuje asi nejlépe).
Až postupem času (a pitím ostatních rumů) jsem přišel na to, proč je zrovna tento tak vychvalován. To, jak v sobě dokázal skloubit spoustu vlastností (některé z nich protikladné), je obdivuhodné.
Slightly sweet at first, gives way to a full bodied aftertaste and a smooth finish, very nice
Wonderfully intricate with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit...

-- A Texas housewife connects with Uganda
Jayne Cravens is now the Coordinator of Volunteers for People With Disabilities, Uganda (PWDU), overseeing the work of more than 75 other online volunteers from all over the world. After more than a year of working as an online volunteer with PWDU, Laurie recently made an on-site visit as a short-term UN volunteer to Kampala, Uganda, to meet the staff of the organization she had known only through the Internet until now.
In her own words, Laurie explains how she became interested in online volunteering: "My husband and I had just moved to a small town in Texas, and I was somewhat restless. I graduated from Boston University with a BA in East Asian studies and was very interested in graduate work in anthropology or international law. I had always been very career oriented and was eager to begin. Before those plans got off the ground however, my husband and I had our first son. I postponed graduate school so I could stay home with the baby. I am now the mother of two young boys, and I am fortunate enough to be able to stay home to take care of them. However, I was desperately longing to stay in touch with some kind of international work. Then I saw a commercial for NetAid and logged on to check it out. I am so glad I did. It has truly changed my life!"
Her first assignment was with a Peruvian NGO, locating potential vendors for a locally-crafted textile product.
"I was able to do research on the Internet and learn about fair or alternative trade. From there I made several contacts and eventually located several interested merchants. This was a fun and interesting assignment. I gained a new interest in the people and cultures of Peru as well as the plight of indigenous peoples, and I became aware of the value of fair trade."
Her next assignment was helping with fundraising efforts for People With Disabilities, Uganda (PWDU).
"As more and more volunteers began signing on, the director of PWDU asked if I would help to coordinate their activities. I gladly accepted the challenge and am now directing and organizing the efforts of over 75 active volunteers around the world. Our volunteers range from high school students to PhD's, 'stay at home mothers' to record producers. They represent approximately 25 countries, on six continents."
These online volunteers that Laurie, an online volunteer herself, is managing are engaged in several fascinating projects for PWDU, including: designing and developing their Web site designing, writing, and publishing their newsletter creating print and multimedia promotional presentations composing an original song, dedicated to PWD working with a music producer in Brazil (who wrote the above mentioned song)to create a benefit album for PWD writing grants proposals for several projects.
Because of her experience, Laurie is now considering starting a American-based nonprofit to benefit the children with disabilities in Uganda.
"Prior to this assignment, I would not have been able to quickly locate Uganda on the map. Now, I enthusiastically spend my time working for the people of Uganda and learning about their way of life. I am also learning about many other regions in the world, via my contact with other volunteers. This has been a wonderful experience, and I recommend it to everyone I know!"
This testimonial was written by Jayne Cravens, and originally published by the International Symposium on Volunteering.

Many a debate on forum and blog has weighed the imponderables of the situation.
Above is my current nerfing of the classic Sleep. I've waffled back and forth, at times going for the "up to 4 HD but save" approach, which makes it less all-powerful at low levels but preserves its utility well into the mid-levels. Perhaps I did the wrong thing - my 4th level party, finding it useless, traded it away at the Faerie Market for that divinational spell of most uncertain application, the Appeal to the Nine Worthy Elders (more on this later).
Probably the biggest balancing factor I applied was to make it only affect creatures that, you know, biologically sleep. This takes away its applicability to a lot of low-level pests, leaving only soldier-types, rats, and the miscellaneous animal.
The voluntary application is my attempt to make it useful for even high level parties. Restful sleep implies a higher healing rate, but also a deeper sleep from which to be awoken in case things happen in the night. You'll sleep as deeply as if you were in a safe inn, even camping in the dungeon.
Anyway, in spite of my doubts about Sleep, I'm on firmer ground with the blue spell, combining Shield, Floating Disc, and Hold Portal capabilities. Loading all three limited-use spells into one slot seems like a winning move to me.

Spell Cards: Sleep, Force Shield
Labels: Magic, sleep, spell cards, spells
3 comments:
I let targets make a save vs a sleep spell. The sleep spell can be directed at a whole group of up to 3HD (and a total of 16 Hd) or a single target of 4HD+ (which saves at +2), a single target of 3HD or less can be targeted and saves at -2.ReplyDelete
I very much like what you've done with force shield. Always thought thete should be more clarification on what a fkoating disk can withstand. This ties things together nicely.ReplyDelete

Warning: Illegal string offset 'caption' in /home/cityart2/public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 1640
At 22, Angel Alviar-Langley has already established herself as a trailblazer in the Seattle dance scene. She's a member of Au Collective, the celebrated dance group that centers women, queer folks and people of color, but she also has one foot firmly planted in the street dance world. Under the moniker Moonyeka, Alviar-Langley performs, battles and teaches popping, a dance form built around quick contractions of muscles and improvisational rhythmic play. While Seattle has seen a number of celebrated women in breakdance, she's one of only a few women in the male-dominated technique of popping, a fact that inspired her to pursue ethnographic research through the UW Dance Department on how women who pop navigate a male-centric scene. Last year, she founded What's Poppin' Ladiez?!, an annual festival celebrating and making space for womxn popping artists from across the country. This year's festival runs July 28 – 30, bringing classes, performances, battles and speaking panels to venues around the city.
How did you start dancing?
I feel like I have been dancing since I was kid—as a social thing you did outside of the cafeteria during lunch, at Filipino parties, in my room, giggin' with my friends. I lived in South King County and the outskirts of Seattle—there was just a lot more brown kids around me growing up—and all of us would blast hip-hop music.
From 2011 to 2013 I was a Running Start student at Highline Community College, where I watched a lot of cyphers go down in the Student Union Building. I was way too shy at this point in my life to participate so I assumed the position of wallflower. I insisted that I couldn't dance to avoid getting into the cypher. My friend Asha Omar Salim, president of the HCC Hip-Hop Club, was very encouraging and made me feel welcome in the space. She was one of the only girls kickin' it with all these boys. She eventually got me into a cypher, and while I was nervous, I never felt freer.
What's it like to be inside a battle?
When I'm battling, I see it as a conversation. Someone may make the conversation about rhythm, flow, flexibility, etc. And I have to figure out how to respond. Or if I'm going first, I'm setting the tone. It's a circle with three different types of audiences: the opponent, the judges and the crowd.
Since I'm still very much a student, popping still sometimes feels uncomfortable. People so often focus on the muscular contraction, creating the "hit" or "pop," but I aim to find how I can still be relaxed within a form that seems like it focuses on tension in the body. My favorite mentors have always said that popping should be approached as easily as how you walk. It's easy to get caught up in the technique behind popping (since popping is an umbrella term of over 70 different substyles, one can get overwhelmed), but most people forget to just simply dance.
What was the impetus for starting an all-women popping event?
I didn't see women present in the scene with the exception of women who took the money for entry to battles and a few B-girls. It often felt like the women who did battle, battled in a way that served the male gaze. I really didn't see a reflection of myself in the space. I had a streak of attending battles where all the judges were men, the MC was a man, the DJ, the organizers, the invited battle guests, they were all men. At the time, I felt very alone as a woman who was aspiring to be a dope popper.
How does that lack of representation affect the popping culture?
I've witnessed men, who battled against me or other women, mock femininity, which involved a lot of hypersexualization and their weird-ass ideas about what femininity in hip-hop looks like. To them, this is a battle tactic; to me, this is bullshit. They didn't make their battle about the exchange of technique, storytelling, or any other thing, they made it about gender.
I also saw a lot of (internalized) female rivalry. Anytime there was a battle where two women signed up, the judges put them against each other. Any time I entered a battle and there was another woman in the room all these male dancers would come up to me and tell me how I could win a battle against the other woman in the room, how she is my main competition. I wondered why they said she is my main competition? Is it because she was the only woman in the room? Why couldn't my main competition be another male dancer?
What are your hopes for the future of the form?
I hope this dance form is more proactive in making spaces feel safer. I hope the OGs and future leaders in the culture do a better job of not only teaching the technique behind the movement, but also how to properly support women. I hope that my REMIX girls that I teach can live in a reality where they are respected at battles and in street styles, that they aren't alone, and that they don't have to hate on other young women to get where they're going.

Rishi Raj talks about his preparation style and the way he chalked out strategy for facing Civil Services Examination.
Optional Subject: Electrical Engineering
Number of Attempts: 2 (Two)
Medium (Language)
Language for Writing Examination: English
Language for Interview: English
Nature of Examination
UPSC is indeed unpredictable. However, one must focus on static part in Preliminary Examination, answer writing in Main Examination and Personality Development in Interview.
Views about Preliminary Examination
I do agree that Prelims is tricky but it is not only about luck. If one has prepared well and even if he/she had a bad day then also at least he/ she could slightly more than cut-off.
Role of Optional Subject
Optional Subject selection is very crucial because it could make or break your shot at Civil Services Examination. A good score in optional subject could ensure a very good rank in final list.
Targeting General Studies
I consider General Studies as purely generalist papers which don't require any specialised knowledge.
My approach towards each paper:
GS Paper 1: Focus on modern Indian history, use current examples in society related questions and draw as many maps in geography section
GS Paper 2 : Use constitution articles, constituent assembly debates, prsindia, current examples in polity and governance section. And use maps and IDSA content in international relations questions.
GS Paper 3: Use flowcharts, diagrams, maps, current affairs in entire paper.
GS Paper 4: Focus on case studies and try not to over project your ethical credentials.
Interview (Personality Test) and Essay Paper - Evaluation of my efforts by UPSC
My interview marks 184 helped me to get such good rank .and my essay marks 114 are very low which dragged my rank a bit.
So, I am satisfied with my interview score but not with my Essay marks.
|Know more about Rishi Raj: A sense of purpose came at very early stage and aim was clearly defined; so, all I needed was an effective strategy, says Rishi Raj (AIR 27; CSE 2017)

Another PAX West is finished. Some people might wonder why I go to these events. Besides the panel I do at the event, it is much easier to see new games and know what the games are about than watching a bland trailer that reveals nothing about the gameplay or watching a stream of the game for 45 minutes after it has been out. I also get information about sales/deals passed along to me ahead of time if the publisher/developer/PR person takes me up on it. If no one tells me about a deal or I don't find the deal, the deal doesn't get posted. Anyways, let's go over everything I saw.
tinyBuild Press Conference
The tinyBuild event started with a fire alarm going off and the firefighters arriving which was interesting. Once inside they showed off their new games while everyone ate and played bullshit bingo. If they heard a certain phrase they stamped their bingo card and then if they got a bingo they won a laptop. They showed off a lot of games like two new Hello Neighbor titles and Rapture Rejects which is a 2D battle royale game set after the rapture happens.
Windjammers 2
Windjammers 2 plays just like the original except there is a power meter. Once the meter is full you can unleash a super move. It's a welcome sequel since the animation and 16:9 aspect ratio helps bring this classic into the 21st century.
Young Souls
You play a beat 'em up dungeon crawler where you are two kids fighting monsters. If you lose you can swap out equipment and try a different strategy.
Streets of Rage 4
This is my favorite game I played at PAX West. Many remakes/sequels of games decades old often miss what makes the gameplay great or they want to add too many new features. For every Sonic Mania, there is a Sonic the Hedgehog 4. They got the gameplay of the original Streets of Rage games down exactly as you remember it.
The only differences are that you can juggle enemies with your friend easier and the special moves deplete health, but only if you stop damaging the enemy. So if you do a special, and continue beating him up, you're good. If he hits you, you lose that health.
A lot of people didn't like the art style shown in the trailer. I was on the fence too when I saw it. To be honest, they need to just show a few minutes of gameplay instead of the 10 seconds they showed and everyone would be fine. The people who worked on Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap are handling the animation and it shows. It looks amazing and the environments look great too.
The only concern I have is the music and sound effects.
I kept asking about Yuzo Koshiro, the composer of the first three games and kept getting no comments and things like that. During the demo they used Streets of Rage 2 sound effects and music which worked great but didn't exactly match the new graphics. I'm pretty sure they are there as temporary placeholders until the final music and sound effects are done. Still, they did it. They made a great Streets of Rage game demo.
Metro Exodus
The two biggest differences from the last two games I saw was that in parts of the game you are in places without radiation and walk around without your mask outside. Also this game is more open world structured which is a huge difference from the linear gameplay aspect of the previous games.
Left Alive
Imagine Dead Rising 1's escort missions in a Metal Gear Solid Game and you are about there. You play as three different people in a city war zone and are trying to help people escape. The more people you help escape the better the ending you get. The three protagonists' stories intertwine at times too, kind of like in Resident Evil 2. There are also mech battles which looked great. The dialogue in the game though seemed like something from the movie The Room with the people in front of me trying to not laugh so loud as the main character is trying to get the sexy daughter to come with him instead of her dad.
Gato Roboto
Imagine a Metroid style game but you play as a cat in a robot suit. Sometimes you'll need to get out of the suit in order to accomplish a goal or find a secret. The black and white art style sometimes makes enemies blend into the background so you need to be alert of that at all times.
The developer told me he was highly inspired by Journey when working on this game and it shows. You control a woman in a long gown as she solves puzzles in order to get to the next location in the 2D world. It wins my imaginary award for most ladies in line to play a game award for PAX West.
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince
This game was a very relaxing puzzle platformer. You play as a wolf that transforms into a princess and leads the blind prince around by holding his hand. You solve puzzles by becoming heavy as a wolf, leaving the prince on a button, etc. They said it should take about six hours to beat but they put a lot of effort into the art book for this game since the art style is so great along with a CD Soundtrack.
The Caligula Effect: Overdose
This is a vastly overhauled version of the Vita game that came out a while ago. The user interface is completely different among other things. The battle system is cool. You plan your attacks and then see them in action in real time after you confirm.
Hitman 2
The level I played was at a race course. You snuck around trying to get to the race car driver who needed murdered. I sucked at it and died a lot.
LEGO DC Super-Villains
Your typical LEGO game. The hook this time is you make your own Super Villain and play alongside other famous villains like the Joker and Lex Luther as you change between all the villains.
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove
Played ToeJam for the third year in a row at PAX West. Thankfully it will be out this November.
Rhythm based dungeon crawler. You need to shoot enemies to the rhythm of the beat. Once you get into the groove you'll have a lot of fun.
Played the Backer demo. Animation looks amazing.
Little Medusa
Fun Action puzzle game where you turn enemies into stone and make new tiles in order to reach the goal.
Steel Rats
This is my second favorite game I played at PAX West. It's a motorcycle platformer with physics similar to the Trials games. You drive between the foreground and background a lot as well as use abilities like a buzz saw like front wheel that saws through pipes, enemies and grinds up walls and ceilings.
Torchlight Frontiers
If you played the other Torchlight games you'll have fun with this MMO centric game. You can play Solo or join up. It's up to you.
Remnant: From the Ashes.
Some company accidently opened a portal to another world with demons and you run around trying to survive. Fighting the dragon was very fun and satisfying when I finally killed it.
The Spectrum Retreat for Switch
Fun puzzle game with a narrative style similar to the Portal Series. You need to pass certain bridges and barriers by holding certain colors. Sounds simple, but quickly becomes hard.
Aragami: Shadow Edition
Aragami is coming to Switch with some extras added.
Dying Light: Bad Blood
This is a multiplayer game is set in the Dying Light world. You gather weapons, beat zombies, collect hive material and then get to the chopper all while avoiding or killing other players. If you kill other players you collect their hive materials and weapons as well. Pretty interesting gameplay.
This is an auto running local co-op game. Each player is a certain color. In order to defeat enemies in your way the player with the matching color must be in front. There are a lot of things that will distract players like pellets you need to activate the checkpoint, picking a path and just getting the other player to pay attention. Reminds me of Overcooked where you need to yell what tom do next.
Double Cross
This game reminds me of a kid friendly Bionic Commando. You platform around with a grappling hook and catch projectiles to toss back at the enemy. Lots of secrets in the level too.
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption
Like Dark Souls? Get this then.
Team Sonic Racing
The game added a cool mechanic to the kart racing genre. There is a multiplayer mode where the team with the highest placings wins the game. So if your team gets third, fourth or fifth, but one team got first, tenth or twelfth then you beat that team. Whoever is on your team that is in the top position leaves a slipstream that gives you a speed boost if you get behind them.
Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2
A lot of people like this franchise so I met the producer of the game and he helped me understand what people are buying since it was a free to play game. You are buying items that you use to combine demons, etc. You are not buying a powerful demon or anything like that which is cool.
Super Meat Boy Forever
This time the game is an auto runner. Really fun and not super hard at all like the previous Meat Boy game.
Gruesome 2D pixel art game where you toss a magic spear that teleports you to locations after you kill an enemy.
That was what is experienced when it came to appointments. Thanks for reading.
