Each week on Inside Survivor we will be naming one castaway from the current season the title of Player of the Week. After reviewing the latest episode, we will determine which player impressed us the most with their social skills, strategic prowess, craftiness, and creativity. We will keep a tally throughout the season so that we can keep track of who is impressing the most.
Week 1: Kelley Wentworth (Inside Survivor pick) | Kelley Wentworth (Readers pick – 53.7%)
Week 2: Jeff Varner (Inside Survivor pick) | Jeff Varner (Readers pick – 52.69%)
Week 3: Tasha Fox | Tasha Fox (56.68%)
Week 4: Tasha Fox | Tasha Fox (34%)
Week 5: Jeremy Collins | Kimmi Kappenberg (50.74%)
Yesterday we opened up a fan poll for the Inside Survivor readers to vote on their player of the week for Episode 6. Currently leading the fan poll is…
Ciera Eastin with 54.5 %
Inside Survivor's choice for Player of the Week for Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chance Episode 6 is…
Ciera Eastin
Here is what the Inside Survivor contributors had to say about Ciera Eastin after Episode 6:
Martin: Ciera is the type of player that comes alive when she feels threatened or that her back is against the wall. She certainly came alive this week when her name was put out there as the "decoy boot". Having your name brought up as a potential boot, even if it is a decoy, is very risky on Survivor. Ciera made sure that her name wasn't written down at all and managed to set in motion the Woo vote-off. Yes, the episode played up Kass as a potential deciding vote, and focused in on her relationship with Spencer, but it was Ciera that used her expert social skills to change the target – up until then Kass was happy to go along with Savage's plan.
Shawn: While Ciera has been flying mostly under the radar, she wasn't afraid to make big moves when her name was brought up. Her willingness to turn the tables on the old Bayon members will have massive implications, but at least she will be there to see it. The best part about the Woo blindside? Ciera will most likely fall under the radar once again as Kass and Abi will take the most flack for the move.
Jacob: I was hoping Ciera would start becoming more prominent this week, and she did not disappoint. I'm still a little confused about why she turned around the vote on Woo instead of Savage, but I'm glad to see her working her strong social abilities. [It turns out that Abi-Maria was the reason Ciera targeted Woo rather than Savage]
Rob: The same Ciera that I loved in Blood vs. Water showed up this episode! She's been seriously underutilized so far, due to her sitting out of challenges, and being relatively invisible. It's very similar to her beginning on Blood vs. Water. Ciera lays low and stays under the radar until she feels threatened, then she will come for you, your dog, your mom, her mom, whoever, in order to save herself. She really shined this week and managed to take the wind right out of Savage's sails (I loved to see him blindsided along with Woo). She definitely deserves the Player Of the Week, and I look forward to seeing more of feisty Ciera in the coming weeks.

Croatia's new Away National Team Kit kit features the country's famous red and white checks in an innovative, contemporary style, and will be available here.
Since gaining independence 21 years ago, Croatia's unique kit has become an important and passionate symbol of the young country. The away jersey is blue with a section of the torso revealing the country's famous red and white checks, signifying that even when Croatia's players are away from home their country is still close to their hearts.
In line with Nike's commitment to superior athletic performance and lower environmental impact, the fabric of the new kit's shorts is made with 100 percent recycled polyester, while the fabric of the shirts is made with at least 96% recycled polyester. Each kit is made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles.
The fabric is also up to 23 percent lighter than the version four years ago. Embedded with Nike Dri-FIT technology, the kits help to regulate players temperatures on the pitch by removing sweat from the body to keep them dry and cool faster than ever before.
Laser-cut ventilation on the shirt promotes localised cooling where athletes need it most so they can remain focused on the game.
A new double knit structure and yarns also makes this kit 20 percent stronger, with no compromise to fit and feel and natural cotton added for comfort.
Inside the neck is the message "Uvijek Vjern," which translates as 'Always loyal', to celebrate the loyalty Croatians feel for their football team since becoming an independent nation.
The away shorts are blue. The away socks, now with improved cushioning for greater comfort, movement and protection, are also blue with a wide band featuring the red and white checks.

Mauritius has a universal system of pensions that supplements an earnings-related pension system. The universal pension covers all residents, and is financed entirely from government sources. The universal pension pays a fixed sum according to the age of the pensioner. Employee pension benefits are determined by the number of years worked. A program of family allowances assists needy families with more than three children. Employmentrelated sickness and maternity benefits are provided, as well as worker's compensation and unemployment benefits under a 1993 law.
The constitution prohibits discrimination based on sex. Although women do not face significant legal discrimination, most remain limited to traditional subordinate roles in the household and in the workplace. Domestic violence is pervasive and is often related to drug and alcohol abuse. The government is strengthening laws to protect women, although most stay with abusive spouses for financial and cultural reasons.
The government is committed to promoting the rights of children. The government is collaborating with the United Nation's Children's Fund to help it address the growing problem of domestic violence, including spousal and child abuse.
Ethnic tensions exist between majority Hindus and minority Muslims. Human rights are generally respected, but there are reports of the mistreatment of prisoners and suspects.

Alien Shooter 2: Conscription (pc game)
5 out of 5 (1 votes)
- Digital Download (4)
There are 4 shops proposing this game for download at an average price of $ 8.14.
No classic box available at the moment.
The Alien Shooter series is a fun but shallow set of games that update the ideas of things like Gauntlet and Alien Breed and throw them into an isometric perspective. They're certainly not deep or complex experiences but if all you're looking for is a few hours of hardcore alien blasting, then they do the job. This one continues from Alien Shooter 2 and once again finds the world under threat from ravening hordes of aliens out to enslave the population for their own evil ends. Any humans left alive are conscripted into the army, and so it is you find yourself on the front line of the conflict. Your only real goal is to make your way through the various isometric environments, blasting the hell out of the waves of aliens who dare to stand before you. There's a huge range of weapons to help out, and you're going to need it as there can be up to 100 aliens on screen at a time while there are also vehicles to jump into to help you get around. There are also some mild RPG touches, as you can upgrade your weapons, while you also have access to backup gear, like drones and radar dishes. For a bit of old-school intensity, this is a solid choice. The action comes at you hard and fast right from the outset and you're going to need to your fastest trigger finger if you're going to survive. The range of weapons, gear and vehicles is a nice touch, giving some variety and a little bit of depth, and which is aided by the upgrade system. The visuals aren't bad, with some nice environments and special effects, while the controls and sound are just as solid. It's perhaps a tad on the short side but apart from this, this is a wild ride.

TORONTO — Viewers who stumble across the Canadian YouTube series "Upstairs Amy" might not realize it at first, but the comic foibles of its working-mom star are actually part of an elaborately constructed advertisement.
Not until three-and-a-half minutes into the show does Walmart Canada and payment transaction company Interac reveal they're behind each episode. By then, audiences have already become acquainted with Amy's adventurous lifestyle and the fabulous party hosted in her friend's apartment.
"Upstairs Amy" is one of the latest experiments in "branded web content" made by Shaftesbury, the Toronto production house behind TV hits like "Murdoch Mysteries" and "Frankie Drake Mysteries." While the show is packed with sequences familiar to sitcom audiences, there are also a number of subtle advertising cues that aren't obvious at first glance.
For example, Amy's kitchen is stocked with appliances from one particular sponsor, while a memorable scene revolves around a hunky Walmart delivery man who shows up at Amy's door with her web order.
Each episode closes with a reminder that "Upstairs Amy" is financed by two corporate interests, but as far as its creators are concerned, this project is entertainment first and marketing second.
"Really all we're doing is reinventing the idea of the soap opera," said Kaaren Whitney-Vernon, senior vice president of branded entertainment at Shaftesbury.
"People are so tired of being advertised to, they're blocking it as much as they can."
While only a few Canadian brands have dabbled in branded web series, some predict more companies will consider sponsored programming in the hopes of rising above the clutter of traditional commercials.
Years ago, brands would've paid big bucks to sneak their logos into network TV series. "American Idol" hosts chugged beverages from Coca-Cola glasses, while Tim Hortons paid for placement on series including "Arrested Development" and "Homeland." Rachel famously obsessed over Pottery Barn for an entire episode of "Friends."
A Nielsen study released last fall suggests those branded moments are falling out of favour. Placements dropped four per cent in the 2016-17 TV season, after already tumbling eight per cent a year earlier.
Whitney-Vernon wants more companies to think beyond fleeting product placements and 30-second spots to customer relationships that build through an entire storyline.
"Upstairs Amy," which began last November, runs for 20 episodes and is being promoted through Facebook and by social media influencers who make cameo appearances on the series.
A branded web series is typically deemed a success if enough viewers interact with and share the content on blogs and within their social media circles.
While Shaftesbury says production costs are "significantly less" than a traditional TV and print campaign, the risk and reward equation gets a tepid response from some marketing executives.
"While we might be getting a bit more attention, it's still a struggle for brands to understand," Whitney-Vernon said. "It's a little bit of a new frontier."
One success story has given the branded web series some leverage in corporate board rooms.
Shaftesbury's vampire YouTube series "Carmilla" struck a chord with teenagers, giving its feminine hygiene sponsor Kotex a boost of goodwill with young shoppers. After three seasons, "Carmilla" was turned into a feature film that briefly played in theatres.
But there's also "V Morgan is Dead," a short-lived series funded by Royal Bank, which followed a young woman who dies suddenly and is offered a second chance at life if she first helps others.
Royal Bank launched the series by talking about how it used brain-scanning technology to learn that millennials responded negatively to financial talk incorporated into storylines. So instead, the series attempted to broadly appeal to young viewers' interests. "V Morgan is Dead" ran for 20 episodes two years ago but wasn't renewed for another season.
Other looming changes in the digital world could also challenge the growth of branded web series. Facebook recently announced plans to redesign its News Feed and lower the priority of sponsored posts, which means fewer people will likely see branded videos.
Jonathan Hirsh, executive producer at Floating Island Entertainment, was hopeful a few months ago that Facebook would offer a gateway for the zany comedy series "Fare Trade" to find even more viewers. The show was launched by Bunz, a Toronto-based online trading platform, and followed a group of actors playing Bunz members who get stuck in unusual situations.
"This is the way of the future," Hirsh said before Facebook revealed its changes.
"Fare Trade" ultimately found most of its viewers through the Bunz website, where a thriving community of users already exists.
Eli Klein, community manager at Bunz, said the series was intended to drive more conversations among its tight-knit web forums. While he acknowledges it's hard to quantify whether the show had any tangible impact on new customers, he still considers it a success.
Wojtek Dabrowski, managing partner at corporate strategy firm Provident Communications, is skeptical about whether branded web series truly offer much promise for marketers.
He said only the highest quality TV series can stand out in this cluttered media environment, which makes selling the concept to viewers even more difficult when it's coming from a corporate interest.
"When I hear that a brand is putting out a themed web series driven by product … every red flag just goes up," Dabrowski said.
"Nobody wants to watch marketing collateral masquerading as video content they're supposed to find interesting."

Recent events and comments have reminded me of the following:
FOR A moment there was silence under the cedar trees and then-pad, pad, pad-it was broken. Two velvet-footed lions came bouncing into the open space, their eyes fixed upon each other, and started playing some solemn romp. Their manes looked as if they had been just dipped in the river whose noise I could hear close at hand, though the trees hid it. Not greatly liking my company, I moved away to find that river, and after passing some thick flowering bushes, I succeeded. The bushes came almost down to the brink. It was as smooth as Thames but flowed swiftly like a mountain stream: pale green where trees overhung it but so clear that I could count the pebbles at the bottom. Close beside me I saw another of the Bright People in conversation with a ghost. It was that fat ghost with the cultured voice who had addressed me in the bus, and it seemed to be wearing gaiters.
"My dear boy, I'm delighted to see you," it was saying to the Spirit, who was naked and almost blindingly white. "I was talking to your poor father the other day and wondering where you were."
"You didn't bring him?" said the other.
"Well, no. He lives a long way from the bus, and, to be quite frank, he's been getting a little eccentric lately. A little difficult. Losing his grip. He never was prepared to make any great efforts, you know. If you remember, he used to go to sleep when you and I got talking seriously! Ah, Dick, I shall never forget some of our talks. I expect you've changed your views a bit since then. You became rather narrow-minded towards the end of your life: but no doubt you've broadened out again."
"How do you mean?"
"Well, it's obvious by now, isn't it, that you weren't quite right. Why, my dear boy, you were coming to believe in a literal Heaven and Hell!"
"But wasn't I right?"
"Oh, in a spiritual sense, to be sure. I still believe in them in that way. I am still, my dear boy, looking for the Kingdom. But nothing superstitious or mythological. . . ."
"Excuse me. Where do you imagine you've been?"
"Ah, I see. You mean that the grey town with its continual hope of morning (we must all live by hope, must we not?), with its field for indefinite progress, is, in a sense, Heaven, if only we have eyes to see it? That is a beautiful idea."
"I didn't mean that at all. Is it possible you don't know where you've been?"
"Now that you mention it, I don't think we ever do give it a name. What do you call it?"
"We call it Hell."
"There is no need to be profane, my dear boy. I may not be very orthodox, in your sense of that word, but I do feel that these matters ought to be discussed simply, and seriously, and reverently."
"Discuss Hell reverently? I meant what I said. You have been in Hell: though if you don't go back you may call it Purgatory."
"Go on, my dear boy, go on. That is so like you. No doubt you'll tell me why, on your view, I was sent there. I'm not angry."
"But don't you know? You went there because you are an apostate."
"Are you serious, Dick?"
"This is worse than I expected. Do you really think people are penalized for their honest opinions? Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that those opinions were mistaken."
"Do you really think there are no sins of intellect?"
"There are indeed, Dick. There is hidebound prejudice, and intellectual dishonesty, and timidity, and stagnation. But honest opinions fearlessly followed-they are not sins."
"I know we used to talk that way. I did it too until the end of my life when I became what you call narrow. It all turns on what are honest opinions."
"Mine certainly were. They were not only honest but heroic. I asserted them fearlessly. When the doctrine of the Resurrection ceased to commend itself to the critical faculties which God had given me, I openly rejected it. I preached my famous sermon. I defied the whole chapter. I took every risk."
"What risk? What was at all likely to come of it except what actually came-popularity, sales for your books, invitations, and finally a bishopric?"
"Dick, this is unworthy of you. What are you suggesting?"
"Friend, I am not suggesting at all. You see, I know now. Let us be frank. Our opinions were not honestly come by. We simply found ourselves in contact with a certain current of ideas and plunged into it because it seemed modern and successful. At College, you know, we just started automatically writing the kind of essays that got good marks and saying the kind of things that won applause. When, in our whole lives, did we honestly face, in solitude, the one question on which all turned: whether after all the Supernatural might not in fact occur? When did we put up one moment's real resistance to the loss of our faith?"
"If this is meant to be a sketch of the genesis of liberal theology in general, I reply that it is a mere libel. Do you suggest that men like …"
"I have nothing to do with any generality. Nor with any man but me and you. Oh, as you love your own soul, remember. You know that you and I were playing with loaded dice. We didn't want the other to be true. We were afraid of crude salvationism, afraid of a breach with the spirit of the age, afraid of ridicule, afraid (above all) of real spiritual fears and hopes."
"I'm far from denying that young men may make mistakes. They may well be influenced by current fashions of thought. But it's not a question of how the opinions are formed. The point is that they were my honest opinions, sincerely expressed."
"Of course. Having allowed oneself to drift, unresisting, unpraying, accepting every half-conscious solicitation from our desires, we reached a point where we no longer believed the Faith. Just in the same way, a jealous man, drifting and unresisting, reaches a point at which he believes lies about his best friend: a drunkard reaches a point at which (for the moment) he actually believes that another glass will do him no harm. The beliefs are sincere in the sense that they do occur as psychological events in the man's mind. If that's what you mean by sincerity they are sincere, and so were ours. But errors which are sincere in that sense are not innocent."
"You'll be justifying the Inquisition in a moment!"
"Why? Because the Middle Ages erred in one direction, does it follow that there is no error in the opposite direction?"
"Well, this is extremely interesting," said the Episcopal Ghost. "It's a point of view. Certainly, it's a point of view. In the meantime . . ."
"There is no meantime," replied the other. "AH that is over. We are not playing now. I have been talking of the past (your past and mine) only in order that you may turn from it forever. One wrench and the tooth will be out. You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow. It's all true, you know. He is in me, for you, with that power. And- I have come a long journey to meet you. You have seen Hell: you are in sight of Heaven. Will you, even now, repent and believe?"
"I'm not sure that I've got the exact point you are trying to make," said the Ghost.
"I am not trying to make any point," said the Spirit. "I am telling you to repent and believe."
"But my dear boy, I believe already. We may not be perfectly agreed, but you have completely misjudged me if you do not realize that my religion is a very real and a very precious thing to me."
"Very well," said the other, as if changing his plan. "Will you believe in me?"
"In what sense?"
"Will you come with me to the mountains? It will hurt at first, until your feet are hardened. Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?"
"Well, that is a plan. I am perfectly ready to consider it. Of course I should require some assurances … I should want a guarantee that you are taking me to a place where I shall find a wider sphere of usefulness-and scope for the talents that God has given me-and an atmosphere of free inquiry-in short, all that one means by civilization and-er-the spiritual life."
"No," said the other. "I can promise you none of these things. No sphere of usefulness: you are not needed there at all. No scope for your talents: only forgiveness for having perverted them. No atmosphere of inquiry, for I will bring you to the land not of questions but of answers, and you shall see the face of God."
"Ah, but we must all interpret those beautiful words in our own way! For me there is no such thing as a final answer. The free wind of inquiry must always continue to blow through the mind, must it not? "Prove all things" … to travel hopefully is better than to arrive."
"If that were true, and known to be true, how could anyone travel hopefully? There would be nothing to hope for."
"But you must feel yourself that there is something stifling about the idea of finality? Stagnation, my dear boy, what is more soul-destroying than stagnation?"
"You think that, because hitherto you have experienced truth only with the abstract intellect. I will bring you where you can taste it like honey and be embraced by it as by a bridegroom. Your thirst shall be quenched."
"Well, really, you know, I am not aware of a thirst for some ready-made truth which puts an end to intellectual activity in the way you seem to be describing. Will it leave me the free play of Mind, Dick? I must insist on that, you know."
"Free, as a man is free to drink while he is drinking. He is not free still to be dry." The Ghost seemed to think for a moment. "I can make nothing of that idea," it said.
"Listen!" said the White Spirit. "Once you were a child. Once you knew what inquiry was for. There was a time when you asked questions because you wanted answers, and were glad when you had found them. Become that child again: even now."
"Ah, but when I became a man I put away childish things."
"You have gone far wrong. Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth. What you now call the free play of inquiry has neither more nor less to do with the ends for which intelligence was given you than masturbation has to do with marriage."
"If we cannot be reverent, there is at least no need to be obscene. The suggestion that I should return at my age to the mere factual inquisitiveness of boyhood strikes me as preposterous. In any case, that question-and-answer conception of thought only applies to matters of fact. Religious and speculative questions are surely on a different level."
"We know nothing of religion here: we think only of Christ. We know nothing of speculation. Come and see. I will bring you to Eternal Fact, the Father of all other facthood."
"I should object very strongly to describing God as a 'fact.' The Supreme Value would surely be a less inadequate description. It is hardly . . ."
"Do you not even believe that He exists?"
"Exists? What does Existence mean? You will keep on implying some sort of static, ready-made reality which is, so to speak, 'there,' and to which our minds have simply to conform. These great mysteries cannot be approached in that way. If there were such a thing (there is no need to interrupt, my dear boy) quite frankly, I should not be interested in it. It would be of no religious significance. God, for me, is something purely spiritual. The spirit of sweetness and light and tolerance-and, er, service, Dick, service. We mustn't forget that, you know."
"If the thirst of the Reason is really dead . . . ," said the Spirit, and then stopped as though pondering. Then suddenly he said, "Can you, at least, still desire happiness?"
"Happiness, my dear Dick," said the Ghost placidly, "happiness, as you will come to see when you are older, lies in the path of duty. Which reminds me. . . . Bless my soul, I'd nearly forgotten. Of course I can't come with you. I have to be back next Friday to read a paper. We have a little Theological Society down there. Oh yes! there is plenty of intellectual life. Not of a very high quality, perhaps. One notices a certain lack of grip-a certain confusion of mind. That is where I can be of some use to them. There are even regrettable jealousies. … I don't know why, but tempers seem less controlled than they used to be. Still, one mustn't expect too much of human nature. I feel I can do a great work among them. But you've never asked me what my paper is about! I'm taking the text about growing up to the measure of the stature of Christ and working out an idea which I feel sure you'll be interested in. I'm going to point out how people always forget that Jesus (here the Ghost bowed) was a comparatively young man when he died. He would have outgrown some of his earlier views, you know, if he'd lived. As he might have done, with a little more tact and patience. I am going to ask my audience to consider what his mature views would have been. A profoundly interesting question. What a different Christianity we might have had if only the Founder had reached his full stature! I shall end up by pointing out how this deepens the significance of the Crucifixion. One feels for the first time what a disaster it was: what a tragic waste … so much promise cut short. Oh, must you be going? Well, so must I. Goodbye, my dear boy. It has been a great pleasure. Most stimulating and provocative. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye."
The Ghost nodded its head and beamed on the Spirit with a bright clerical smile-or with the best approach to it which such unsubstantial lips could manage-and then turned away humming? softly to itself "City of God, how broad and far.
