Freelance Writer Cover Letter
A cover letter or, as it is often called, a letter of motivation is a letter usually attached to such document as curriculum vitae or resume. The main purpose of a cover letter is to provide more extended information about a person who sends a resume to an employer. Since, a CV has a specified shape and must be written strictly and concisely, such an application may provide a kind of explanation to details of your characteristics.
To clarify all aspects of freelance writer cover letters we shall discuss this matter a little closer in details. We will see the use and possibilities of cover letters in terms of writing jobs.
General info and main ideas
Very frequently those who seek for job attach a letter of motivation to a resume enabling an employer to examine potential employees more thoroughly. As we have said, when writing curriculum vitae, one rarely has an opportunity to point all information about him to the full extent of one's power. There are numbers of situations when you describe yourself and want to explain some features of your character or to illustrate your skills widely but ultimately refuse as it is not suitable for resume.
At the same time sending a letter of motivation, you have an exceptional opportunity to add any information you like. It has a lot to do with essay writing since literally you tell a story about yourself. Though there exist special requirements to cover letter format.
Basically, there are several types of freelance writer cover letter:
• a letter of request: in this letter, the applicant requests for a list of jobs which may fit him according to resume;
• a letter of confirmation: in this letter, the applicant tells the employer that he is willing and ready to get to work;
• a letter of rejection: in this letter, the applicant states that he rejects the proposed vacancy;
• a letter of application: this letter is sent in response to a specific vacant position; here you need to point why you are the very that person an employer is looking for;
• a letter of thanks: the letter usually sent by an applicant after the interview in order to show an employer your interest in the proposed position;
• a letter of inventory: the letter informs about the number and types of documents that an applicant has sent to an employer to examine.
Cover letter format
As we have mentioned before, regardless its descriptive form any letter of motivation has direct guidelines. To compose freelance writer cover letters in appropriate way there exist a list of elements of a cover letter.
Generally, any motivation letter is one-page long and consists of four major parts:
• header;
• introduction;
• body;
• closing.
Actually, composing of a freelance writer cover letter should not bring about any difficulties as any writer must know how to write such a letter. If you still wonder and ask yourself: "how to write a cover letter", just like students bother themselves: "how to write my essay", do not hesitate and feel free to use online services.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Southeastern Conference announced its 2016-17 women's basketball schedule Tuesday, with the University of Kentucky women's basketball team set to host Missouri, Texas A&M, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Florida and Mississippi State inside Memorial Coliseum. The Wildcats will travel in the league to play at Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas and South Carolina.
Fans can reserve their seats to see the Wildcats play an exciting 18-game home schedule by purchasing season tickets for $65 online at ukathletics.com/tickets or by calling the UK Ticket Office at (859) 257-1818 or (800) 928-2287. Seats will be assigned in September after the season ticket renewal deadline. All single-game tickets will go on sale Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 9 a.m. ET through ticketmaster.com.
The announcement of the schedule ensures national exposure for the Wildcats as 10 of its 16 conference games will be broadcast nationally on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or SEC Network. Kentucky's non-conference games against Oklahoma on Dec. 1 and Arizona State on Dec. 11 were also picked up to be broadcast live on SEC Network. The Wildcats will face Oklahoma at 7 p.m. ET inside Memorial Coliseum, while it will host Arizona State at 1 p.m. ET inside Rupp Arena.
This marks the eighth year of the 16-game SEC schedule for women's basketball and the fifth with 14 teams. The schedule consists of a single round robin (10 games) and home and away with one permanent opponent (two games) and two rotating opponents (four games). Kentucky's permanent opponent is South Carolina with the rotating opponents changing annually.
ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will produce a combined 21 conference contests – including two Kentucky games – while the SEC Network will televise more than 63 conference games – including eight games featuring the Wildcats.
For the first time since the 2008-09 season, Kentucky will open up league play against Tennessee, who finished 22-14 last season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. The Wildcats and Lady Vols will tip off from Thompson-Boling Arena on New Year's Day at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
The Wildcats will return to Lexington following the conference opener with a two-game home stretch, starting with Missouri on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. ET on SEC Network before a Jan. 8 contest against Texas A&M at 2 p.m. ET on SEC Network. After facing Alabama on Jan. 12 in Tuscaloosa at 8 p.m. ET, Kentucky will return home to face Georgia on Jan. 15 at 3 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
January will conclude for Kentucky with three of four games on the road, beginning at LSU on Jan. 19, before facing Auburn on Jan. 22 at 3 p.m. ET on SEC Network inside Auburn Arena. Kentucky's lone home contest during the stretch will be Jan. 26 against Ole Miss at 7 p.m. ET. The January slate concludes Jan. 30 at Missouri at 7 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
February will start with back-to-back home games for Kentucky, starting with the 2016 SEC Regular Season and Tournament Champions, South Carolina on Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. ET before Vanderbilt comes to Lexington on Feb. 5 at Noon ET on SEC Network. The Wildcats then hit the road for two games at Georgia on Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. ET and at Arkansas on Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET.
Kentucky will return home after its game vs. Arkansas for a Feb. 19 matchup against Florida at 1 p.m. ET on SEC Network and end its 2016-17 home schedule on Feb. 23 against Mississippi State at 7 p.m. ET. The Wildcats will conclude regular-season action on Feb. 26 at South Carolina on either ESPNU or ESPN2 at either 2 p.m. or 5 p.m. ET.
In August, Kentucky announced a demanding non-conference slate that included games against 2016 NCAA Tournament participants Miami (Fla.), Albany, Oklahoma, Louisville, Middle Tennessee and Arizona State. Five of those teams were either ranked or receiving votes in last year's final rankings with Miami finishing 24th, while Oklahoma was 23rd, Arizona State was 16th, Louisville was 14th and Albany was receiving votes. In all, eight non-conference opponents won 20 or more games last season.
After beginning the season with their lone exhibition contest on Nov. 3 against Union University at 7 p.m. ET inside Memorial Coliseum, the Wildcats will start the season by hosting the Kentucky Classic from Nov. 11-13 with Miami (Fla.) and Albany. Kentucky will play Miami (Fla.) Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. ET inside Memorial Coliseum before hosting Albany on Nov. 12 also at 7 p.m. ET. The event will conclude with Miami and Albany squaring off at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 13 inside the Coliseum.
Kentucky, which is entering its 43rd season of varsity women's basketball and 10th under head coach Matthew Mitchell, is coming off its school-record seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. Last season, the Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the fifth time in seven seasons – one of only seven schools nationally to claim that honor. The Wildcats ended the season with a 25-8 record and a No. 15 final ranking.
The Wildcats return several key players from last year's squad, including two seniors in leading scorer and All-America candidate Makayla Epps and last year's top post player in Evelyn Akhator. Epps averaged a team-best 17.1 points per game, hitting .473 from the field with 4.5 assists per game and 4.8 rebounds per game. Akhator finished third on the team in scoring with 11.5 points per game and first in rebounds with 9.3 boards per game.
The SEC Tournament will be played Wednesday, March 1 ‐ Sunday, March 5 at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C. The SEC Network will televise the first three days of the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament while the semifinals will be aired on ESPNU, and the championship game on ESPN2.
For the second straight season, Rupp Arena has been selected to host an NCAA Regional. The regional semifinals will be held Friday, March 24 with the regional championship Sunday, March 26. Tickets will be available through the Rupp Arena box office later this fall.

So it has been four weeks now since I started Shovelglove. This is the routine which I have settled into. I bought some 2kg clubbells some time before discovering Shovelglove, I use these to do a quick warm up and get some blood flowing. After the warm up the head phones go in and Rammstein comes on.
The Routine (each movement is done for 10 reps right handed then 10 reps left handed):
Drive Fence Posts
Stoke Oven
Churn Butter
Hoist Sack
Flip Lever
In fourteen minutes I can usually get through this routine roughly three and a half times (depending on how I'm feeling). I'll usually have a sweat on towards the end so I know it is doing some good. I'm starting to detect some muscles as well. As time goes on I will continue to experiment with other moves and add or replace them to maintain interest.
Thanks to everyone who has posted their routines hopefully one day I can invent some new moves.
Arminius' routine
Which movements do you do? How many reps? In what order? When? Do you mix in other non-shovelglove moves? Post here or browse to get ideas.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
Pickens native Amberle Godfrey has been named President/CEO of the Chamber of Commerce.
By Sonny Proctor,
Chairman Board of Directors Pickens Chamber of Commerce
I am proud to announce that Amberle Godfrey has been selected as the new president/CEO of the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce.
Godfrey is a native of Pickens County and has been serving as interim executive director since early August. Prior to that she had served as interim operations director. She has also served as a member of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, including chairman. During Amberle's tenure, the Chamber has seen tremendous financial stabilization and many improvements in other areas.
The selection was made after a grueling search process facilitated by Anissa Starnes with Swingbridge Consulting. Fifty-nine applications were received for the position including several from local and neighboring areas, as well as across the country and Canada. Working with Anissa, 13 top candidates were identified, and then through phone, web and personal interviews the number was cut to three. From a highly skilled and experienced pool of applicants, the committee realized that without question Amberle has the skills, the knowledge of our culture and recent progress and the passion to take our chamber to the next level. Amberle will continue her duties as interim through the remainder of the year, and assume her new role effective January 1, 2019, the beginning of the fiscal year for the Chamber.
Please everyone welcome Amberle to this critical position in the continued improvement in our community. The future is bright.

Compass Media Networks and UNCOVERED with Dr. Laura Berman extend contract
Dr. Laura Berman, Connoisseur Media and Compass Media Networks announce multi-year extension and continued investment in "Uncovered Radio with Dr. Laura Berman."
Compass Media Networks and Connoisseur Media are pleased to announce an extension of their partnership with relationship therapist and best selling author, Dr. Laura Berman, who will continue to serve as host of Uncovered Radio.
Celebrating over 540 episodes, Uncovered Radio is a daily, call-in, relationship advice program, broadcast 9pm – Midnight on Adult Contemporary ("AC" and "Hot AC") radio stations. The program offers affiliates the ability to play their own music while incorporating listener calls and questions to Dr. Berman.
Connoisseur Media serves as the creative consultant to Uncovered Radio and Compass Media Networks manages the production and syndication of the show.
"Two years ago, we saw a need to offer our listeners unique and relatable relationship content," said Jeff Warshaw, CEO of Connoisseur Media. "Dr. Berman is not only a friend and partner, but she is a tremendous communicator and entertainer. I regularly tune-in to our stations carrying the show and have seen Dr. Berman at our station events. We are thrilled to continue with Uncovered Radio and very much encourage other stations to add the show."
"My goal is to help as many people as possible," said Dr. Laura Berman, renowned relationship therapist and New York Times best-selling author. "I love radio because of its reach and the intimacy with the audience. Our listeners are really engaged and I am humbled to offer them help."
The program is listener-driven, focusing on common relationship challenges facing the 18-49 female demographic. Questions are often personal, but broad and compelling enough to hold the audience into the next average-quarter-hour. Any questions about sex are handled off-the-air via podcasts and/or appointment. The show is listener-friendly.
"Our listeners are stressed," said Kristin Okesson General Manager of Star 99.9 FM. "Not everyone has the time or money to see a relationship therapist. With Uncovered, they can call into one of America's most popular relationship experts and hear actionable solutions. The show is highly engaging, entertaining, and compelling."

This is Phoebe. Well, she's a phoebe. She's Say's Phoebe, to be exact, named after Thomas Say, who first described her during his exploration to the Rocky Mountains in 1819-1820.
image from www.Towhee.net
She's classified as a small songbird and a medium-sized flycatcher. Her upperparts are pale brownish gray and her belly and undertail are cinnamon. She wags her tail.
Her habitat includes open country, sagebrush, badlands, dry barren foothills, canyons, borders of deserts, and ranches. She lays 3-6 eggs and usually incubates them for 12-14 days. Her nest is often placed on a ledge with cover, such as in a cave or on a building or bridge. In fact, I think it is this exact bird that has maintained a nest on top of a light fixture in my parents' garage for years (decades?).
And she's my kind of gal: she builds her nest using a variety of natural materials, such as rocks, weed stems, grass, plant fibers, spider webs and other items, and then lines it with soft items such as hair, fibers, paper, or feathers.
While her friends call her Say's Phoebe, the academics like to call her Sayornis Saya.
And if that name sounds familiar to you, you have a good memory. Coming soon. Very soon.

Chris... Raccoon City... S.T.A.R.S.... What are these memories?Jill in MVC3
Jill Valentine is a video game character in the Resident Evil/Biohazard survival horror series. She is one of the protagonists in the original Resident Evil and the first Resident Evil character to appear in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. She appeared in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes as a playable character, preceding Chris, Albert Wesker and Nemesis.
Background Edit
A skilled expert at close quarters combat and firearms use, and a piano player who memorized every Beethoven sonata, Jill Valentine was a member of the Alpha Team of S.T.A.R.S., a special unit of the Raccoon City Police Department that was set out to deal with terrorism and increasing cases of violent and serious crimes.
On the night of July 23rd, 1998, S.T.A.R.S.'s Bravo Team went missing, sent to investigate several cases of cannibalistic homicides that occurred in the Arklay Mountains. S.T.A.R.S.'s Alpha Team was soon deployed to investigate. Upon arrival, Alpha Team was soon attacked by feral, mutated dogs, and Jill, Chris Redfield, and Barry Burton escaped to the nearby abandoned Spencer Estate. That night the was the beginning of "The Mansion Incident", where it would be discovered that illegal biological experiments committed by the Umbrella Corporation had founded the T-Virus, a dangerous, contagious virus used to breed biological superweapons.
After the Mansion Incident, Jill would find herself fighting to survive the aftermath of Raccoon City's outbreak and against Umbrella's Anti-S.T.A.R.S. weapon, Nemesis. Surviving that, she and other known survivors would band together and fight to bring down Umbrella.
Much like her partner, Jill is also currently a Special Operations Agent (S.O.A.) of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A.), a group dedicated to stopping the creation and usage of bio-weapons. However in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, she is dressed in the battle suit she wore during the events of Resident Evil 5, indicating that she's still under the mind-controlled influence of Albert Wesker.
Personality Edit
Throughout the Resident Evil series, Jill has been Chris' longtime partner (as well as the only female member of his S.T.A.R.S. unit and member of the B.S.A.A.), and, as a result, she and Chris have an extremely close relationship. She deeply cares him and his safety, which is demonstrated when she "sacrifices" herself to save Chris from Wesker at the Spencer Estate. Jill is also shown to be curious, caring and thoughtful to the other people, just like she was to the other S.T.A.R.S. members who were involved in the infamous Mansion Incident. She has devoted almost her entire adult life to stopping bioterrorism and Umbrella.
During the events of Resident Evil 5 when she was placed under Wesker's mind-control (which is carried over to her Marvel vs Capcom 3 appearance), Jill acts quiet and very calm. She also only speaks to her associates (Wesker, Excella Gionne and Ricardo Irving). Also during and before her fight with Chris and Sheva, she acts as a pragmatist, striking them without a moment's thought, warning or hesitation.
In the Resident Evil film series, Jill (portrayed by Sienna Guillory) is very sassy and hot-tempered. She uses strong vocabulary and is portrayed as a smoker.
Gallery Part 01 (Marvel Vs. Capcom 2) Edit
Gallery Part 02 (Resident Evil 5 Version) Edit
Trivia Edit
- Jill, much like Chris and Wesker, uses some of her melee attacks from 5 (namely her Sweep Kick, Double Knee Drop, Head Grab, Flip Kick, and Cartwheel), as well as her Double Kick grapple breakers. As she sports her Battle Suit look from RE5, she also uses her Scorpion submachine gun in a hyper.
- Her profile states that she has "masterful unlocking abilities."
- She has color schemes inspired by Saki Omokane from Quiz Nanairo Dreams, though better known as a Marvel vs. Capcom assist and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom character, and Vanessa's Intera Fusion suit. For Ultimate, she gets a second P.N.03 color scheme based off Vanessa's main costume.
- Her DLC alt is her appearance in Resident Evil 3.
- In Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Jill gets to use several weapons from her source game, including her combat knife, handgun, grenade launcher and even the endgame missile launcher.
- Several of the game's iconic items are also seen during her intro or win poses, including the ink ribbon, small key and broken radio.
- One of her Assists references the game's healing potion, the Herbs. It even brings up the ECG display used in the Resident Evil series to indicate the player's health status.
- Jill is the only character in the Marvel vs. Capcom series to get a complete gameplay overhaul, retaining none of her attacks in her second appearance, as well her physical appearance.
- Pictures showing Jill Valentine and Shuma-Gorath in game were released on February 3rd.
- Jill's win pose in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 breaks the fourth wall with her trying to infect the cameraman with the Uroboros Virus before the screen changes to the win quotes screen.
- According to Capcom developers, Jill is the fastest character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
- Jill's ending in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is possibly a reference to the Resident Evil 5 DLC, Desperate Escape, where she and Josh Stone escape the Tri-Cell facility and fight their way through hordes of Majini. Her ending may be similar to that when she and Blade escape and fight their way through Morbius, Man-Thing and the other Marvel monsters.
- According to Capcom, Jill's P30 mind control device remains in her DLC costume due to her fighting style, stance, and dialogue still being taken from her Resident Evil 5 self.
- Oddly, some of Jill's post-battle victory quotes contradict the mind-controlled state she's in such as when she defeats Wesker.
- In the promo comic, even though she appears in her mind-controlled look (complete with the mind control device on her chest), she is fighting alongside Chris as if she was back to her old self, when she should still be on Wesker's side as the game shows.

Are you looking for the best condenser microphone for vocals? Well, it's not that easy to find one unless you know about the features and specs you are looking for in a mic.
Most vocal microphones that work perfectly on stage are not always a good choice to go for, especially if you are planning to use them in a studio. A great mic is the one that is capable of recording both instruments and vocals with a high level of efficiency.
Nowadays there are several features that can help you to choose the right mic. If you prefer to go on a professional angle on this, condenser mics can be a good choice to have on your list. These Mics are ideal for Musical studios and recording studios. They are very accurate, extremely sensitive and are well suited to easily capture all the details of a human voice.
How To Choose The Best Condenser Mics
Depending on your needs, you can compare different top-performing condenser mics and choose the one that perfectly suits you. The first thing that can help you to identify or choose a great mic is to know the type of applications or platforms in which the mic will be used for. If you travel a lot and often find yourself recording on the road, it might be considered good for you to go for a durable condenser microphone that doesn't break when it bounces in the back of your car. For more precise users that want high quality performing mics, USB condenser microphones can offer more than the price. USB microphones can be powered through computers and they do not require one to have any additional software in order to work.
When looking for the best condenser mics for vocals, one thing you must consider is that condenser mics are very sensitive. Most mics can capture birds chirping in the background and this can negatively affect the quality of sound being recorded. If you work in a workspace that is not soundproofed, a unidirectional microphone might offer you more quality sound records. Unidirectional microphones are great because they tend to reduce the amount of noise that is being picked from the background.
Generally, unidirectional mics are made in a way that they can only capture the voice being projected to the microphone. These mics also reduce or improve your voice quality by silencing the hisses of letters C, S, and T. A pop filter can also be used with a condenser microphone to reduce the pop noise and sounds from pronouncing letter P. However, pop filters are quite expensive but they can save you hours of editing time.
4 Best Condenser Mics for Vocals
1) Audio-Technica AT2020
This amazing mic is on the list of the best condenser mics for vocals. It's known for producing high-quality sound and it's a great option for anyone running a home studio.

This microphone is a great deal for new beginners that would like to record their own voice or sounds with better accuracy.
The custom-engineered low mass diaphragm of the mic provides extended frequency response, the cardioid polar pattern helps to reduce any pickups of sounds or noise from the sides of the mic, hence improving the sound quality being recorded. It's wide dynamic range and high SPL handling provides unmatched versatility. Additionally, a good mic stand is needed for AT2020 mic to further improve its audio quality.

AKRON — For the first time in three games, the Wiggins Tigers had life against their top conference foe: Sedgwick County. Behind errant pitching early, the Tigers scored two runs for the early lead.
That lead would not last long, and the Tigers' comeback efforts late were not enough Wiggins fell 16-6 in the quarterfinals of the 2A District 7 tournament in Akron on Friday morning.
Senior Tucker Baker was hit by a pitch and senior Trevor Dye drew a walk to get the first two batters on base in the game for Wiggins. A throwing error allowed junior David Nance to reach next, loading the bases with no outs. The first run scored when sophomore Cael Croissant hit a ground ball to third, deep enough to get Baker home. A walk from freshman Bryce Ford loaded the bases again in the inning for senior Dolphus Grindle, who was plunked by a pitch to walk in the second run of the game.
Despite having a runner picked off to end the offensive inning, Wiggins players felt good with the first two runs being put up on the scoreboard by them.
The Tigers then turned to junior Isaac Oberg to get the start after a brilliant and efficient game on Tuesday against Merino.
This time around, things would not be as easy for Oberg.
Sedgwick County needed only four batters to tie the game back up. Aggressive base running was crucial as the Cougars moved a number of runners in scoring position by stealing bases, as well as advancing on wild pitches or lack of concentration from the Tigers during the game.
Back-to-back hits after a sacrifice fly gave the Cougars a 4-2 lead. Four more runs would come home in the inning to give Sedgwick County an 8-2 advantage.
From there, it was all Cougars for the next two innings. The Tigers offense could only get one hit in the second inning and was shut down in the third by the Cougars pitcher. Sedgwick County continued to score on hits and made Wiggins pay for mistakes in the field with three runs in the second and five in the third.
After leading 2-0, Wiggins was in serious danger of having its game end early. Late in the game, however, new life was found by the Tigers.
Freshman Joe Dorren got things going in the fourth inning with an infield hit to put the second runner of the inning on base. Baker drew a walk with two outs to bring Dye up with a bases-loaded situation, and he delivered with an RBI single. Dorren raced home on a wild pitch, and two batters later, junior Josh Dorren drove in two runs with a single.
In the bottom of the inning, Dye only faced three batters and got them out quickly to carry the momentum into the fifth, where the Wiggins needed to score at least one run to stay alive. Joe Dorren would make it to third, but a double-play ball hit by Baker got the Cougars out of the jam and finished the game at 16-6 in five innings.
Despite the loss, the Tigers were able to compete for a decent stretch with the No. 2 team in class 2A. The six runs scored by Wiggins were the most runs allowed this season by the Cougars.
The baseball season comes to a close for the Tigers, who went 5-14. Second-year Wiggins head coach Aaron Phillips saw his team reach the district tournament for the first time in six years and will look to take another step forward in 2017.

If you are going through hell, keep going!! Stopping in mid-way won't serve the purpose!
This statement is more or less apt for CrossFit enthusiasts. In CrossFit, rigorous exposure to intense exercises makes this particular exercise challenging. CrossFit isn't just about any layman; instead, it is for those who are passionate, energetic and excited to hit the gym. For such folks, hitting the gym ain't about just losing the fat, shaping the body and a good physique, it is more about being passionate about the workout session that you can subject your body too.
Specific Dynamics of CrossFit
Being driven by Mob's emotion and adrenaline rush and the necessity to amend things, no matter what cost they come at. These are two aspects juxtaposed for CrossFit training. It isn't for everyone, if you have heard this statement, consider it Biblical, as it is that way around.
For most, CrossFit might be hard because it is tough, but it isn't that way. CrossFit is not at all harsh; it is beyond explainable terms in words. It is more or less an emotion and fortitude of mind to do the stuff.
Why Do Not Many People Prefer to Get Enrolled in CrossFit?
Well, the reason is simple, and more or less, bank on target, you don't have the balls to endure the rigorous wear and tear. In the CrossFit exercise, the individuals go through tough training sessions. Performing repetitive activities without rest wear and tears the muscle In most cases, muscle tears become grotesque. At the same time, with the Cross Fitters, the possibility of developing rhabdomyolysis is more.
It is a situation, in which the muscle fibers break down with a release in the bloodstream, and from there, they go to the kidney. At times, it becomes difficult for the organ like kidneys to filter bouts of fibers and hence kidney ailment gradually occurs.
How Does the Fraternity of Cross Fit Survive?
The fraternity of CrossFit built on resistance, willpower, and determination, shapes the health fraternity. In the training program, trainees get challenging exposure to a new way of building and developing muscles. The Cross Fitters are a different niche altogether. The only fuel that keeps them motivated is loud cheers of the comrades, the passion for standing unique and never-ending willpower.
A Word of Caution: Not for Those With A Weak Will Power: CrossFit Defying The Standard
Cross Fitters are Unique, and They are Different, and They are Resilient.

The upcoming expansion of the Javits Center will provide a host of new dynamic spaces that will allow our customers to expand their events and create new opportunities like never before.
With new, state-of-the-art exhibit and meeting room spaces, the convention center also will attract more events while enhancing the quality of life for the West Side community. In addition, the construction of an on-site truck marshaling, loading and storage facility will relocate 20,000 event-related trucks off area streets each year, improving neighborhood traffic flow and pedestrian safety. As a result, the move-in and move-out process for events will be reduced by 30%, leading to an additional 20 days for new events and additional economic activity.
In order to prepare the site for the expansion project, the first phase of work has already begun, including utility work and the construction of a new three-story building that will house transformers, back-up generators and other electrical equipment needed for the expanded convention center. This work was the result of a Request for Proposals issued in September 2016, and following a thorough procurement process, Tishman Construction, an AECOM company, was selected to oversee this work.
This first phase, which began in December 2016, is underway near the West 39th Street entrance, and as a result, the ramps to the loading docks on Level 1 and Level 3 will be closed temporarily on a periodic basis. Javits Center staff will ensure that any of these closures do not impact move-in and move-out operations, and service advisories will be distributed regularly to notify customers of the potential ramp closures.

1.6 Reasons Why Triumfant's Automated Remediation Approach is Superior
August 16, 2010 Leave a comment
Remediation is becoming a hot topic and already the FUD is flying. Of course, we are excited about our remediation story and I am often asked why our approach to remediation is different from others on the market. Let me see if I can help by borrowing a statistic.
I was at a meeting at Symantec headquarters on Friday where Francis deSouza, senior vice president of the Enterprise Security Group at Symantec, was first on the agenda. In his presentation, deSouza noted that Symantec research indicated that attacks are morphing so quickly that any given variation of an attack is used against 1.6 machines before a new variant appears.
Most companies (maybe everyone but Triumfant) employ an approach to remediation that employs previously written scripts that are matched to detected attacks. This approach of course requires that such scripts can only be written for known attacks. While there are some generic approaches that may apply to previously unknown attacks, for any moderately complex unknown attack there will likely be no remediation script.
Now let us put deSouza's statistic to work in the discussion about remediation. If we put the script-based approach in the context of deSouza's statistic, we can conclude that any remediation script is good for 1.6 machines. Makes sense because if the remediation is morphing, then it follows that the remediation needs would also change. New variant requires a new script.
I am already reluctant to believe that any pre-written script can be completely effective for attacks of even moderate complexity because attacks may cause varying primary and secondary damage based on the unique combination of factors for any given machine such as OS version, installed applications, and differences in configuration. Adding the restriction to previously known attacks and Mr. deSouza's statistic and a logical conclusion is that scripted remediations will fall short. Even if a script will apply, it is reasonable to doubt that the script is capable of remediating the machine without leaving one or more artifacts that will make the machine vulnerable. This doubt normally translates to organizations re-imaging the machine as a matter of standard.
There are other differences such as the need for context. For example, a process may be part of an attack. A generic script may mark that process for deletion, when it may be a process shared by other benign applications. A script would have to either shoot it on sight, potentially corrupting other applications, or contain the logic required to know what other applications the process shared and then have the ability to determine if those applications were installed on the machine. Accounting for every "except for" would certainly be aq challenge.
Triumfant constructs a remediation that is specific to the identified incident for that machine and requires no previous knowledge to build this remediation. We correlate all of the changes to the machine to build a remediation so complete you should not have to reimage the machine. The remediation is surgical, contextual and specific. As a bonus, our remediations can leverage our patent pending donor technology to restore deleted or corrupted files.
There is more, but I feel like the point has been made and anything else would be showing off. The difference between common remediation solutions and Triumfant's approach are profound. Now I need to figure out how you attack 0.6 of a machine.

My friend, Lucy, helped us find these old wood corbels earlier this year, and we're so excited to use them on our soon-to-be country kitchen island:
Right now, the island doesn't reflect our personalities at all, so we're going to have fun giving it a farmhouse/cottage-style makeover over the next couple of months.
The new bar top will stick out a little further than the existing one because the corbels are about 4 inches deeper.
I'm excited about that little addition in surface space because we plan to use the bar as extra seating when we have more people over than will fit at our dinner table.
We also plan to replace the existing countertop with something a little more laid back, and then we'll pick out a cheerful new paint color for the base of the island. We had been thinking that we'd paint the corbels the same color as the island, but now that they've been stripped, we're sort of diggin' the idea of just sealing them with wax.
What do you think?

Smiling seniors take faster strides
A US study has shown that how older people feel about ageing affects how fast they walk - and is likely to predict how healthy and independent they are.
The study by Boston-based researchers reports that if an older person sees themselves as "wise," "astute," and "accomplished," rather than "senile," "dependent," and "diseased" it can speed their walking up, having the same effect as 12 weeks of strength training.
"What's surprising is that the way in which older people view older people can significantly affect their physical function," says lead author Jeffrey Hausdorff PhD, a researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
"The clinical ramifications of this finding need to be studied further, but clearly if we as a society could work to minimize the negative stereotypes about ageing and being old, we could likely improve physical function and independence as well as psychological well-being."
For the study, 47 healthy men and women with an average age of 70 were assigned randomly to one of two groups. Individuals in each group played a 30-minute computer game that flashed words associated with aging stereotypes on the screen.
The words flashed by too quickly to read, but slow enough to perceive subconsciously. Those who received the subliminally delivered positive words, such as "wise," "astute," and "accomplished," subsequently increased their walking speeds by 9 percent. Those who received negative words about aging, such as "senile," "dependent," and "diseased," maintained the same walking speed.
A person's usual walking speed is a common measure of overall fitness and physical function and has been correlated to the short-term risk of nursing home admission and death in older people. Studies by others have shown that walking speed decreases 9 percent to 30 percent with advancing age.
"While many factors may contribute to this decline, we did not expect to see this large of an effect of the stereotypes of aging on gait speed and on the age-related decline in walking performance," says Hausdorff, also an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
For his studies of gait, Hausdorff has developed special wafer-thin shoe inserts with recording devices in attached ankle straps. This way, he can measure natural stride-to-stride variations. Typically, the time a foot spends in the air for each step, known as "swing time", decreases with ageing. But in this study, the positive stereotypes of ageing also improved this aspect of walking.
For this study, Hausdorff teamed up with social psychologist Becca Levy PhD, who first developed this method of triggering aging stereotypes to examine their effects on thinking and behavior when she was a graduate student at Harvard College.
Levy conducted the gait study as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School. Now she is an assistant professor at Yale University Medical School. In other work, Levy has found that stereotypes of ageing also affect memory, self confidence, handwriting and even the will to live in older people.
"Individuals tend to acquire negative stereotypes about ageing as young as 3," Levy says. "When individuals become older, these stereotypes become relevant to themselves. Unlike stereotypes of race or sex, stereotypes of ageing become directly relevant to everyone who lives a normal lifespan. This latest study with gait demonstrates that the negative stereotypes of ageing that exist in our culture may have numerous implications for everyone who is already or who will one day become old."
The authors plan to continue studying the unanticipated powerful connection between subconscious perceptions about ageing and physical performance. They believe this information eventually may be used to enhance mobility and partially reverse age-related changes in functional performance.
The study, which was funded by the National Institute of Ageing and the National Institute of Mental Health, is published in the November issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

I've shared my thoughts on t-shirt brands on Kickstarter a few times now, and generally my issues with them are as follows:
- Providing poor value for pledges.
- Not offering innovative designs.
- Too many amateur projects looking for funding before really thinking through development of the brand.
- Why the hell should these people not have to risk their own money when thousands of other people startup their own tee businesses?
Obviously, I could expand on those points, but I worry that I can sound too down on Kickstarter when I really do like it as a platform, and do feel that there are a lot of good reasons why people, including clothing brands, should use Kickstarter, it's just something that needs to be carefully considered for each brand.
David from Seibei, who is of course part of the HYA family, who ran his own very successful Kickstarter campaign (getting 3x what he was hoping to raise) was asked by Shopify to talk about what he did right and wrong when running the project. Several other people were asked as well, including the people being the wildly successful Pebble watch, who raised more than $10 million when all they were after was $100,000. If you've been thinking of posting a project on Kickstarter I very much recommend checking out the article and using it to your advantage to ensure the smooth running of your project.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — A thousand-yard rushing season might not mean as much as it did in the days of 12- and 14-game schedules. Yet as the Rams' Steven Jackson pointed out, "It's still definitely the standard" for a running back in the NFL.
Jackson reached that standard Sunday for the third consecutive year, since he succeeded Marshall Faulk as the club's primary ball carrier. It was a more formidable hurdle to clear this time.
Only 9 minutes 37 seconds remained in the season when Jackson churned off left tackle for a 2-yard gain against Arizona that put him at 1,000 exactly. He added another 2-yarder later, then gave way to rookie Brian Leonard for the Rams' final series in a 48-19 spanking by the Cardinals.
After getting 1,046 yards in 2005 and 1,528 last year, Jackson wound up with 1,002 despite missing four games and most of another with groin and back injuries.
"Any team getting a thousand yards or more is a huge accomplishment, (even with) a 16-game schedule," Jackson said. "I never thought that it'd be to the wire, to make sure that we got the thousand yards. … Those games that I missed, I do wish that I could get them back."
Individual milestones were hard to come by in this 3-13 season, but the Rams reached several Sunday. In addition to Jackson's quadruple-figure finish:
— Isaac Bruce had two receptions, giving him 942 for his career and pushing him past Art Monk for sixth place on the league's career log.
— With seven catches, fellow wideout Torry Holt surpassed the 800 mark. Only five active receivers have more than Holt's 802.
— Kicker Jeff Wilkins' lone extra point was his 371st in a row without a miss, tying him with Denver's Jason Elam (1993-2002) for the NFL record.
— Donnie Jones broke the franchise record for gross punting average. Jones' three punts traveled 158 yards, and he finished with a 47.2-yard average. Danny Villanueva had held the previous mark (45.5) since 1962.
Holt, who ended with 93 catches, 1,189 yards and a seventh Pro Bowl invitation despite a balky right knee, isn't figuring on lowering his standards as he looks toward his 10th season and beyond.
"Yeah, I'm thinking I have maybe, what, another 800 in me?" he said, laughing. "The knee deal didn't help. But I'm just going to keep playing and keep catching."
Wilkins was noncommittal as to whether he planned to keep kicking after wrapping up his 14th season. "We'll see; I've got some issues with some health things that I'm trying to get fixed up," he said. "It's been a rough season. I'm going to contemplate the next couple of weeks and hopefully things will work out and we'll go from there."
The record-tying kick came early in the third quarter, following a 36-yard touchdown pass from Marc Bulger to tight end Joe Klopfenstein. After safety Oshiomogho Atogwe took his eighth interception of the season 52 yards to the end zone later in the period, Wilkins was heading back onto the field.
But with the score 31-19, coach Scott Linehan ordered a two-point attempt (which failed).
In his first year with the Rams, and fourth in the NFL, Jones topped his previous high average by almost 4 yards per punt.
"It's definitely an accomplishment," Jones said. "I just try to do my best to help our team win, and ultimately football is a game of field position. … By far this has been my best season. It was a great group of guys to work with, and it starts with (Chris) Massey. He's awesome, just a great snapper."

She molds her clay pots with strong hands weathered from years toiling in the farm fields of western Kenya.
The pots represent much in Serfina's life — art, contentment, income, self-reliance. They're a way for her to provide for three grandchildren in her care while creating something beautiful and useful. Besides being art pieces, the pots can be used for purposes such as holding water or grain.
"I am an old, illiterate woman and so I never got one of those well-paying jobs," Serfina said. "I used to cultivate my farm and sell the produce for some money."
It wasn't always enough, though, when the rains failed to come and the crops didn't do well.
"I had a neighbor who was making pots for sale and I decided to learn the art," Serfina said. "With time, I really got good at it and enjoyed doing it. I decided to become a full-time potter.
"I am happy making pots."
While Serfina, at age 70, finds happiness in her work, she's experienced much sadness in her life.
She was married and had 12 children. Her husband and 10 of her children passed away, leaving her to raise three grandchildren — Bella, Jordan and Brian — on her own. All three are sponsored through Unbound.
"My neighbors saw me struggling to take care of my grandchildren and they told me about this organization that helps children," Serfina said. "I went to the offices and shared with them my story. Social workers came to my home to visit me and they saw the situation we were living in."
Things got easier after her grandchildren, who are now 16, 17 and 22, were sponsored. They could attend school without worry since their school fees were paid. Sponsorship also provided nutritional benefits and helped with needs such as beds and bedding.
Her grandchildren's sponsorships also meant Serfina could be part of a support group made up of mothers of sponsored children.
"I am happy when I get to interact with the younger women and get to learn things from them," Serfina said. "I was also able to save with the group and later took up a loan, which I used to boost my [pottery] business."
Serfina's willing to teach other women the art of making clay pots, if they're inclined to learn. She said her grandchildren haven't taken an interest in the art, but they do help her collect clay soil from a nearby river to use in making her pots.
Serfina has high hopes for her grandchildren. The oldest, Brian, is on a path to continue his studies in college.
"I pray that they successfully complete their education and have a better life than what I was able to offer them," Serfina said. "Seeing them happy and comfortable gives me great joy."

List: Dogs I'll be rooting for during Thursday's National Dog ShowBy Claire Zulkey
List: Dogs I'll be rooting for during Thursday's National Dog ShowBy Claire Zulkey
Shetland Sheepdog:
This is the Zulkey family dog. My parents had a Sheltie named Major for 16 years and now have a newer model named Looey. They definitely are...spirited. And vocal. But cute. They're vain, too, you can tell.
Smooth Collie:
I feel like the Smooth Collie has all the smiliness, intelligence and pep of a regular Collie but is at a major disadvantage without the long, flowing coat. I love an underdog.
The Greyhound is MY dog so of course he deserves to win all the awards. They've basically got it all, as a breed: fascinating history, amazing athletic prowess, heartbreakingly sweet personality and the pity factor. If you want me to tell you more about why Greyhounds are the best, let me know.
My in-laws like this breed, and since they have 11 cats, I am all about encouraging them to like an animal that is not a cat, so I am pro-Schipperke. It has an adorable name, a cute body like a little black bush, and is Belgian. Most things from Belgium are pretty great.
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever:
Just look at that face!
Bedlington Terrier:
This is a controversial one in my house. My husband thinks this breed looks too weird. I on the other hand love how it looks like a little lamb.
Brussels Griffon:
I always like how peevish this little dog looks. He looks like a gremlin. The dogs that win Best in Show always look pleased so I'd be curious to see what a happy Brussels Griffon looks like.
I'm not really into toy dogs but I love watching this one walk.
Great Pyrenees:
Just look at this dog. There's one in my neighborhood named "Aslan" which I think is an appropriate name for a Great Pyrenees: it's a leonine dog with undeniably Christlike characteristics. This dog will save us all.

We've finally finished decorating the house for Christmas and I thought I'd share a few photos. Doesn't everything look prettier at Christmas.
Here's our lovely white tree that is in our foyer. Its always been our vintage inspired themed tree. One year the ornaments were small vintage books from my mom's childhood. Then we just did vintage ornaments. Now we've settled on a blue and red vintage ornament theme.
I wish I could take ownership for the adorable tree skirt, but I can't. My mom made this baby a few years back and its still darling!
This is our big tree, or rather the main tree. Its crowded with ornaments! And that is my mother hanging up the snowflakes in the window.
I spy my little cardboard gingerbread house...
These two our my favorite. They are so charming!
Again, another craft I wish I'd come up with...crochet door nob hangers. We have a couple of these around the house made by my two great grandmothers. I come from a long line of crafty ladies...
Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy holidays!

A friend posted an interesting film observation on Facebook recently. DId you know that you never, ever see people cleaning up after a sick child has vomited? Films depict the heave ho, with sound effects and all. But when do you see the poor parents or other responsible adults clean, scrub and sanitize the floor, the clothing and bed linen?
I would love to see this. We have had a child unwell this week. A strange bug. Loads of "bomit" as she calls it. All at inopportune times. All in unexpected places. This is an oversight in the parenting manual. How do you do a successful vomit clean up? And while I am at it, how do you remove a banana smoothie stain from your carpet?
Most of us are fascinated by family life. Do you watch Parenthood? I haven't seen this newish TV series but friends find it strangely addictive. Is it life mirrored back at us that we find reassuring? More on family life in the next few weeks.

- "Professor Layton, true English gentleman and the world's greatest amateur super sleuth embarks on his most daring adventure yet when he receives a letter from his old student, the famous opera diva Janice Quatlane. She is to perform at the legendary Crown Petone Opera House and invites him to attend as her special guest. Meanwhile, a spate of disappearances hits London. Two young school girls are the latest victims and the professor suspects it's related to the mysterious occurences at the theatre. The professor and his loyal assistant Luke travel to the Opera House to solve their toughest puzzle yet, the mystery of Eternal Life!"
Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, first known as Professor Layton: The First Movie, is the first film of the Professor Layton series.
It was released in Japan on December 19, 2009. It was produced by Masakazu Kubo who is known for producing the Pokémon films. Manga Entertainment UK dubbed and localized the film in English. Viz Media picked up the rights for bringing the film to the United States, and released it on November 8, 2011 [1].
The film has also been developed into a novel, a manga, a film comic, an artbook, a board game, a range of plushies, and more.
Background Edit
The movie is mostly centered on the adventure that follows Professor Layton and the Last Specter, where Professor Layton's former student Janice is to perform in 'The Eternal Kingdom' opera at the Crown Petone. After the opera, the person who wins the 'game' is promised Eternal Life. The beginning and end of the movie is focused on one of Layton's current adventures, taking place after Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, where Layton and co. must stop Don Paolo from an unknown attack involving Big Ben and the clock tower.
Plot Edit
The film begins with Professor Layton and Luke investigating the theft of the sound of Big Ben. Layton and Luke are inside the tower, and Layton solves a puzzle to open the door to the tower. Layton realizes whoever silenced the bell escaped from the top of the tower. Layton then assembles all the suspects and Inspector Chelmey from Scotland Yard to Tower Bridge for Layton to reveal who silenced the bell. Layton accuses an elderly woman, who turns out to be Don Paolo. Don Paolo jumps off the bridge, but escapes with an umbrella-propeller, only to be chased after by most of Scotland Yard's officers. Layton and Luke then meet back in the professor's office, where Layton pulls out a record called "The Eternal Diva - Janice Quatlane". The flashback begins of the adventure they had with her three years ago.
After the events of Professor Layton and the Last Specter, Layton receives a letter from a former student of his, Janice Quatlane. Janice writes that she is performing at a theatre called the Crown Petone, and is involved in an opera about the lost city of Ambrosia. She says her friend Melina, who had died a year before, has come back to life and appeared to her as a young girl. In addition, a girl from the London area has been reported missing, and Janice thinks it's related to the strange things happening at her theatre. Janice includes two tickets for the concert with the letter for Layton and Luke.
On the way there, Luke makes the connection that the pianist and composer of the opera, Oswald Whistler, is the father of Janice's friend, Melina, and also that Dr. Schrader helped Oswald construct the theatre a year ago. They arrive to see the enormous Crown Petone. Emmy returns to London in search of the missing girl. Layton and Luke enter the enormous Crown Petone theatre and enjoy the opera.
The opera tells a story of the beloved queen of Ambrosia, who became very ill. All the citizens of the kingdom raced to find a cure, and ultimately discovered the Eternal Life. Just when the elixir of Eternal Life was found, however, the queen died. The people, saddened at the queen's death, decided to take the elixir themselves, and wait thereafter for their queen to return. The opera finishes, and Layton and Luke begin to clap, but the rest of the audience seem bored. Then, as the stage is cleared, a masked man comes out and begins talking about the Eternal Life. He says they will all play a game, and whomever wins will get the Eternal Life, yet the losers will die. Much of the audience breaks into a panic and tries to flee the theatre, but the floor collapses and they fall presumably to their deaths.
Layton and Luke attempt to apprehend the masked man, but Inspector Clamp Grosky beats them to it and arrests him. The masked man is revealed to be a puppet that turns into a balloon and floats to the top of the theatre, with Grosky handcuffed to it. The balloon then pops and sends Grosky into the ocean. The theatre begins to shake, and the guests of the opera race outside to see what is going on. They see that they are sailing away from land, as the Crown Petone transforms into a ship and sails away into the ocean. While some people suggest swimming to shore, Layton notices sharks surrounding the boat, even though sharks are not common in these waters. The rest of the guests race back to the theatre at the sound of the Detragan, a musical instrument capable of projecting many different sounds, called by many, the "one man orchestra".
Janice comes out, and Layton formally introduces her to Luke. When everyone arrives, a mysterious voice dictates the rules of the game, and then reads out, "Puzzle No. 001", which asks for everyone to stand by the oldest thing one can see on the ship. While many people believe it to be the dinosaur bones or the fossils, the correct answer is the stars in the sky, visible because of the hole in the roof in the theatre. All those who guessed incorrectly fall to the same fate as those who tried to flee the theatre.
Puzzle No. 002 is presented, and is about finding the biggest crown on the ship. The ship is decorated in many crowns, each as ornate as the next. Layton realizes that the biggest crown is the Crown Petone itself, and heads to the side of the boat. Layton, Luke, and Janice find many other contestants in the game lowering down life boats. While Layton and many of the other contestants begin to lower the boats, Melina, in the appearance of a young girl, pulls Janice aside and scolds her for inviting Layton, as she believes he is ruining the game.
Twelve contestants manage to get into the boats, and they start to row away from the ship. Inspector Grosky, who was chased by the sharks, manages to get back to the Crown Petone, only to realize that the ship is now being destroyed by explosives. Grosky jumps off the boat to see submarines being sent towards land, with the eliminated contestants being brought back safely to the shores of England. The mysterious voice tells the contestants they were correct, and that they will be transported to the next destination.
Back in London, Emmy is interviewing the parents of the missing girl, Nina. She then reports her findings to Dr. Schrader, while she hears a new report on the Crown Petone. The report said that many people had come ashore, but some are still missing. Emmy races away, leaving Dr. Schrader confused about the rest of the situation. Layton and the other contestants land on an unexplored island, where contestant Marco Brock says they have landed at the mysterious island of Ambrosia. The group that lands on the island soon notices that a dinner table has been set on the beach, with food and drink laid out before them. Luke finds a note from the master of the game, detailing that the vittles are a 'reward' for having survived thus far; Frederick Bargland even begins pouring himself a glass of wine until, with a quiet kind of intelligence, Amelia Ruth mentions that it could be "a puzzle." All the guests freeze up in fear, but ultimately decide to consume the goods anyway.
After a refreshing meal, everybody wanders about the island, taking in the sights and sounds. Luke attempts to befriend the mysterious little girl, picking up a sea shell and attempting to give it to her. She ignores him, but he persists, holding it up to his ear and claiming that "you can hear the sea." Melina seems amused by this comment, and says that she "can already hear it." Luke is a bit startled, asking her what she means, before the sound of wolves pulls his attention towards the jungle behind him. When he turns back, Melina is missing; the young boy prattles off to Oswald to exclaim that his adopted daughter is missing. Whistler, however, seems unconcerned, stating that she has only gone off to play. At that instant, the sound of wolves grows once more; soon, a whole pack come charging out of the jungle, their eyes set on the guests.
The group run through the jungle, and come across a clearing by a lake with a castle on the other side. There are three cages suspended by ropes. The mysterious voice presents Puzzle No. 003 in which the contestants must make it to the castle and stop the wolves. Layton figures that, since it would be too difficult to catch the wolves, that they should cage themselves. He releases the rope to the cage he, Luke and Janice are standing under, and the others sarcastically applaud him for being an idiot. This is not so, as they all pick up the cage and start moving towards the castle. One group manages to do the same, while the group with Mr. Whistler fails, and are left to the wolves. They climb to the top of the cage to protect themselves.
Unfortunately, the cage protecting Layton, Luke and Janice becomes overturned and the three of them become exposed to the wolves. With no other option, they run away into the jungle as the wolves abandon the stranded contestants and give chase. A group of masked men approach the contestants left stranded on top of the cage and capture them, eliminating them from the game.
Layton, Luke and Janice barricade themselves in a small shack. Thinking quickly, Layton builds a makeshift helicopter from the resources available in the shack. Using the helicopter, the three of them escape from the wolves and crash land at the castle.
After regrouping with the remaining contestants, the mysterious voice presents Puzzle No. 004. Four doors surround the contestants. Three of them lead to wrong answer and elimination from the game, but one of them leads to the correct answer in the king's chamber. Four letters are painted on the ground with one on either side of each door. Luke reasons that they must go through the door between the letters K and G because going because putting 'in' between K and G spells 'king'. Luke, Janice, Amelia and Marco proceed through the door leading to the correct answer, but Layton's suspicions drive him to go through another door. Believing that Layton has the answer, two of the constestants, Pierre Starbuck and Celia Raidley, follow him. They enter an empty chamber where Celia and Pierre disappear down a chasm when the floor opens up beneath them. Layton narrowly avoids the drop and proceeds to explore the castle.
Meanwhile, Emmy flies to the island of Ambrosia in a plane. She notices a castaway stranded on a pile of rubble who turns out to be Inspector Grosky. She rescues him and the two journey to the island to get to the bottom of what's going on.
In the king's chamber, Luke, Janice, Marco and Amelia are greeted with an empty room. Suddenly metal bars descend from the ceiling and trap them. The mysterious person who had been taunting them over the course of their adventure finally appears and it turns out to be Layton and Luke's old nemesis, Jean Descole. Descole's minions seize Amelia and take her away as the others are escorted away to another part of the castle.
Meanwhile, Layton stumbles upon a bedroom. After some investigating, he realizes that he is in the bedroom of none other than Melina Whistler. He encounters the seven-year-old Melina, who is annoyed that Layton has made it this far. Layton initially doesn't understand why Melina is acting this way, but it all becomes clear when Melina appears to have two personalities that are fighting with each other for dominance in Melina's body.
As they are taken away, Luke and Janice attempt to rebel against Descole's minions, but their attempts result in failure. All hope seems lost until Emmy and Inspector Grosky arrive and defeat the masked underlings. Layton arrives with Melina who Emmy reveals is actually not Oswald Whistler's daughter, but a girl named Nina who belongs to another family (the family Emmy had been interviewing earlier in the movie). Luke struggles to comprehend what's going on, but there's no time to lose and they hurry to stop Descole.
The shocking truth is that Oswald Whistler is behind everything with Descole as his partner in crime. The Detragan turns out to be capable of more than just musical instrument but is in fact a contraption constructed by Descole and used by Whistler to hold the memories of Melina with the intention that some day they can be transferred into the body of another girl, theoretically enabling Melina to live forever. Multiple failed attempts at getting the machine to transfer Melina's memories into a new host have driven Whistler to desperation, especially since the Detragan will soon be unable to hold them any longer. Amelia is to be the Detragan's latest victim, but she is saved when Layton and the others arrive. Layton reveals the terrible truth behind the game of Eternal Life and condemns Whistler's actions. Unwilling to admit defeat, however, Whistler attempts to transfer Melina's memories into Luke. Unfortunately for Whistler, the key that powers the Detragan has been stolen. The thief turns out to be Janice, but in a shocking twist, it turns out that Janice is actually Melina.
It turns out that Janice was also a test subject for the Detragan; but because she was a close friend of Melina, she was accepting to host Melina's memories in her body. Whistler is amazed and rushes to embrace his daughter, but the triumph is short lived as Descole reveals that he was concocting a plot of his own. He kidnaps Melina and attempts to use her voice in concert with the Detragan to combine the melodies hidden in the seal of Ambrosia. As he realizes that Melina, in Janice's body, is the only one who knows the Song of the Sea, he forces her to sing it. Descole plays a Song of the Stars and Janice sings the Song of the Sea, in an attempt to raise the lost city itself. When his plan fails, Descole descends into rage and transforms the Detragan into a giant machine- the Detra-Gigant. With his original plan ruined, Descole creates a new plan to rip the island apart, forcing the city to appear.
Using the helicopter he had created earlier, Layton (along with Luke) chase the giant machine and try to rescue Melina. Luke shows off an impressive set of acrobatic moves by climbing across the Detra-Gigant's many coils, wires and tubes to reach Melina. Descole destroys Layton's helicopter with a large drill device, but Layton survives and hoists himself onto the roof of the machine to confront Descole. After a brief sword fight, Layton reveals that Descole overlooked another melody hidden in the seal of Ambrosia: A Song of the Sun. Layton plays the melody in combination with the other two, and to everybody's amazement, the lost city of Ambrosia rises above the water. Enraged over being bested, Descole attacks Layton and accidentally destroys the controls to his war machine in the process. As the machine malfunctions, Descole loses his footing and he plummets to the ground.
Layton, Luke and Melina evacuate the doomed machine and regroup with the others on the shore of Ambrosia. Melina decides to remove herself from Janice's body, much to Oswald Whistler's grief. Inspector Grosksy proceeds to arrest Whistler, but allows him to play one last song on the remains of the destroyed Detragan. As Whistler plays and Janice sings, Luke realizes that Melina could be a reincarnation the Queen of Ambrosia. Layton considers this possibility too. After all, the legend of Ambrosia stated that Ambrosia would rise again when its queen was returned to it.
The credits begin. Afterwards, the movie reverts to the present, reminding the viewer that the entire movie was just a flashback. Janice arrives in Layton's office, and what happens afterwards is never revealed.

In the craziness and chaos of a teacher's daily routine, it's easy to forget how important you are to your students. It hit home with me yesterday as I sat holding my sobbing, broken-hearted six-year-old.
My youngest daughter is a goofy, bright-eyed kindergartner who loves everything about school, especially her teacher. A veteran educator who has taught all levels of elementary school, she knows how to prepare her young charges. While fulfilling her educational role, she also clearly values each one of them for who they are. She's amazing.
After coming down with a fever Wednesday night, my daughter stayed home from school on Thursday and missed her Valentine's Day party on Friday. My wife went up to the school to pick up the cards and party favors, and was handed a note from the principal: Friday was going to be my daughter's beloved teacher's last day. She was moving out of state.
My wife called me at home, and I had to be the one to break the news. I held my daughter in my lap while she cried, then my wife picked her up to go tell her teacher good-bye for the last time. I realized in that moment how central the role of a teacher is in the life of a child, even the ones who come from what most would consider a stable, well-adjusted home.
This got me thinking about the students I've worked with over the past decade. For many of them, school is the only constant in their lives: single parents work long hours, so the kids are shuffled between caretakers throughout the week. Sometimes they cycle between apartments on the weekends. Some of them even live in long-term hotels because they can't find more permanent housing. Coming to school is, for them, the most predictable thing they know.
And it's not limited to the primary grades. Middle-schoolers look to teachers as they search for identity in the frightening chasm between elementary and high school. Teenagers crave role models, and teachers often fill the void their social ecosystem may otherwise leave empty. Even though they may not say it, they have the same longing for everyday certainty as a student who has just entered their first year of formal schooling.
So no matter who the child is, no matter how secure their living situation may be, and no matter how they act when they get to you, you are stability for them. It's easy to forget, but a sobbing six-year-old reminded me that, in the eyes of a child, a teacher's value is impossible to measure.
