Gameplay interface
The key to this game is teamwork and co-operation. If one teammate does not do their job, then the whole team will gain very little points (and possibly fail). Players do not lose any items when they die, but they do not keep anything that related to their roles acquired through the minigame. The object of the game is to defeat all of the Penance. When all Penance are defeated, the current wave is won, and Honour points or bonus xp is given to the team while waiting for the next wave. To change your end of wave reward, use the statue in a wave waiting room.
Note that the game will end when a teammate quits (by climbing up the ladder), logs out, or dies. The wave will not be complete, and any work done during the wave will have to be redone.
Note: It is possible to put the calls on your action bar. They can be found in the constitution ability book while you are in a wave.
Everyone in the team will get a horn in their inventory to contact their teammates about what they have to do to complete their role. Calling should be everyone's top priority while playing the game. This is very important because if one doesn't call for his team, other teammates will not be able to complete their roles, and thus, die or quit out of frustration. What is to be called changes every 30 seconds, so the player should always be on their mark to call for their teammate again.
The horn is separated into different functions. At the top right of the screen it comes in this layout for example.
- DO what is next to the EAR icon.
- CALL out what is next to the MOUTH icon.
Depending upon the player's role, when right-clicked the horn will give options for what to tell to their teammate:
- Collectors calling for Attackers - combat style to use when attacking:
- Aggressive
- Balanced
- Defensive
- Healers calling for Defenders - type of food to lure with:
- Tofu
- Crackers
- Worm
- Attackers calling for Collectors - egg colours to pick up:
- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Defenders calling for Healers - type of poisoned food to use on Healers:
- Tofu
- Meat
- Worm
In the above example, the Attacker's Horn interface on the screen shows that the Attacker needs to TELL (MOUTH icon) their teammate (Collector) to collect "green eggs", by right-clicking the horn and selecting the "Tell-green" option. The EAR icon shows what the teammate (Collector) is telling the Attacker to DO: use an "Aggressive" attack style to kill Penance Rangers and Fighters.
What is to be called changes every 30 seconds; players will need to check the interface for changes, and tell (using the Horn) their teammate of any changes as well. The actions change for all players simultaneously. When the action changes, what your role needs to do is blanked out and what you have to call changes to white. It is a good idea to use this as a warning sign that the action has changed and players need to call.
The interface shows what you need to call in white text, as opposed to yellow, if you have not yet called it out. This makes it easy to see if you haven't called.
Note: If you need healing and you're not a healer, right-click the Horn, and choose "Medic" to get the Healer's attention. Do NOT manually type out "Medic!", as the healers WILL NOT be notified on their interface showing each team members' life points.
The player and the team will lose Honour points for every:
- Wrong Attack style -
- Each wrong attack will subtract 1 honour point from everyone's final score, for a maximum penalty of 10. 11 or more wrong attacks have the same effect over team honour. If Attackers attack with the wrong style, they will suffer recoil damage of 100 life points.
- Runner that escaped -
- Each runner escaped will subtract 3 honour points from everyone's final score, for maximum penalty of 10. 4 or more escapes have the same effect over team honour. A single runner may escape several times, until it is killed.
- Wrong coloured-egg picked up -
- Count of exploded eggs is subtracted from number of eggs collected and decreases maximum of collected eggs to 60 minus the number of exploded eggs. As the egg explodes it causes the Collector to lose 50 life points. Collector cannot provide negative honour for team directly, but only by calling wrong attack styles to Attacker.
- Wrong Poison used on a Penance Healer -
- Count of wrong poison packs used on Penance Healers divided by 4, rounded down, for maximum penalty of 10. 40 and more wrong poison packs used, have the same effect over team honour.
The machines located at the bottom of the battlefield (near where players appear) provides the necessities for all the roles.
- The yellow Collector machine will convert the coloured eggs into the other styles.
- The green Healer machine will provide:
- Healing vial (one per Healer)
- Poisoned worms
- Poisoned tofu
- Poisoned meat
- The blue Defender machine will provide:
- The red Attacker machine will provide runes and arrows an Attacker may need.
Healer Spring
The Healer Spring is located at the southwest corner of the battlefield, just west of the machines. It can only be used by the Healers. Healers can fill their vials or directly drink from it to heal themselves.
The filled vials have four doses and can be used on any other teammates to heal them. Note that the amount of life points healed depends on the Healers' level. Directly drinking from the spring will heal the Healer. The healing liquid restores both life points and run energy, so it might be quite important to fill the energy of Collectors and Defenders as they need to run around a lot.
Horn of Glory
In addition to the individual horns each teammate has, there is also the Horn of Glory. This large horn is situated in the southeast corner of the battlefield, and can be used to contact everyone at once. If a player often forgets to "call", this horn can be used by ANYONE to tell ANY teammate what they have to do. However, it will be unusable when the Penance Queen appears in the 10th wave.
Egg Launcher
In regular waves, the Collector usually collects eggs and loads them into the Egg Hopper. Once this is done, the Egg Launcher can be used by any player on the team to damage Penance creatures (provided there are eggs in the Egg Hopper). Any coloured eggs can be used, but each colour has a specific function:
- Red eggs: to deal damage to the Penance creatures.
- Blue eggs: to apply various effects on the Penance creatures.
- Green eggs: to buff all the combat stats of the targeted teammate. Works like an extreme potion/overload.
Blue eggs decrease the stats of Rangers and Fighters, increase the length of poison applied by the Healer on Penance Healers and counts as the right bait when used against Runners.
In Wave 10, after the Penance Queen makes an appearance, the Egg Launcher must be used to kill the Queen. For this, the team makes Omega Eggs (using Yellow eggs), and the Collector loads these in the Egg Hopper. Similarly, any team member can use the Egg Launcher to fire the Omega Eggs to damage the Queen. As this is the only way to damage to Queen, the Egg Launcher plays an important role in the final wave.
Note: Contrary to popular belief, the player (or the team) will NOT lose any Honour points for using the Egg Launcher.[1]
Job Summaries
Colour: Red
Calls to: Collector
The Attacker's job is to kill the Penance Fighters and Penance Rangers. Runes and arrows are available from the Attacker machine near the entrance, however, they must bring their own melee weapon if they wish to use melee.
The creatures can only be hurt when a specific constitution ability is activated, and this varies. It is recommended to put these three abilities on the action bar. Having the wrong ability activated will cause the player to lose 100 life points, and hit no damage. The Collector will tell the Attacker which ability the creatures are vulnerable to, with their horn.
The three attack styles are:
- Style 1: Aggressive
- Style 2: Balanced
- Style 3: Defensive
Having a high Combat level as an Attacker is a significant advantage in the game. Despite its popularity, Attacker is a somewhat challenging role as it requires some degree of attention. Attackers will often rack up the -10 penalties that bring the team's score down.
On the Queen wave, the attacker's job is to take spikes from the petrified mushrooms around the arena. They will then use these spikes on the poisoned eggs, given by Healers, and pass the poisoned spiked eggs to a Defender.
Tip: When the attack style changes Attackers should immediately click away, lest they suffer penalties and splash damage. They should also always have their Auto Retaliate toggled off.
Colour: Yellow
Calls to: Attacker
The Collector's job is to gather eggs dropped by killed Penance creatures. The Collector loads these eggs into the Egg Hopper, which then allows any teammate to fire the Egg Launcher.
There are three different coloured eggs: Red, Blue, and Green. At any given time, only one colour of egg can be picked up. The egg will explode and hit 10% of your maximum life points if the player picks up the wrong-coloured egg or picks up an egg when the player's Inventory and Collection bag is full, reducing the total numbers of eggs collected by 1. The Attacker will tell the Collector which colour to pick up using their horn. The Collector is also given an Egg Collector Bag to store some eggs in, but the eggs can also be stored in the inventory.
When fired from the Egg Launcher, Red eggs will damage penance creatures, Blue eggs apply various debuffs and Green eggs buff all the combat stats of the targeted teammate like an extreme potion/overload. Blue eggs decrease the stats of Rangers and Fighters, increase the length of poison applied by the Healer on Penance Healers and counts as the right bait when used against Runners.
While on the final wave (Wave 10; before the Penance Queen makes an appearance), the Collector's role is relatively easy. During this wave, the collector must run around the field collecting the yellow eggs left by the Queen. They must then hand these (Use on) to the Healer. They will receive them back as Omega eggs where collectors must then load them into the hopper to be fired at the Penance queen. As many as eight completed Omega eggs may be needed to kill the Queen.
It is virtually impossible for a red-green colourblind person to visually distinguish a Red egg from Green. An update has added the colour of the egg into the items name, making it easier for colour blind people.
Note: Be wary, since collectors must run near the Penance Queen to obtain the eggs, they may take damage from both her melee AND ranged attacks, causing heavy damage. It's recommended to have a Healer nearby.
Colour: Blue
Calls to: Healer
The Defender's job is to prevent Penance Runners from reaching the south end of the playing field. This is done by laying bait on the ground leading towards traps, so that the Runners will follow the food trail and get caught and killed in those traps. Bait can be obtained from the Defender machine near the entrance.
There are three types of bait: Worms, Tofu, and Crackers. Penance Runners will be attracted to all food types, no matter which one is called. However, the Penance Runner must eat the correct food type at the trap in order to be killed. The whole team will lose three honour points for each Runner that manages to escape. Thus, it is the Defender's duties to make sure that this does not happen too often (or at all). The Defender typically has an easy job on the final wave. As there are no penalties on Wave 10, there is less pressure to stop Runners from escaping.
Strategy Tip 1: It is recommended to scatter as much bait as possible in a trail from in front of the Runner exit to the East trap. The direction of dropping is important as the Runners will always go for the most recently dropped food in range. This will draw the Runners towards the trap. Scatter the remaining bait next to the trap; so the Runners will stay near the trap until they eat the correct bait. As long as no Runners reach the other side, the Defender (and the team) will get full points, it does not matter if the Runners are killed by team members through the egg cannons.
Strategy Tip 2: Dropping the wrong bait for luring can be more useful than the right bait, particularly for low level defenders. Runners that eat the wrong bait will walk a considerable distance North at no penalty, allowing for the right bait to be used solely around the trapping areas. When the wrong bait is placed in a diagonal line leading from the defender machine to the trap, the runners position themselves vertically in line with the trap. This also buys time for the defender to refill on bait, gather resources, block the northern caves on higher waves, and keep runners in range of the egg cannons.
A hammer and two logs respawn at the north end of the battlefield. These are used to repair the traps (as each trap can only kill two Runners before it breaks), and build barricades at the entrances. Barricades stop the Penance creatures from appearing for over ten seconds. However, building barricades will delay the team (including the Defender), preventing effective role performance. The Defender is better off concentrating on laying bait.
Note: Whether a bait is considered "right" or "wrong" is determined when the bait is dropped. This means that even after the food type changes, bait that was correctly dropped will still be considered correct when the Penance Runner eats it regardless of the new correct food type. The same holds true for food that was incorrectly dropped. In other words, the defender does not need to pick up old drops and replace them in order to produce their desired effect.
Colour: Green
Calls to: Defender
The Healer's job is to heal their teammates with a vial from the healer spring, and use poisoned food on the Penance Healers. Poisoned food and a healing vial can be found in the Healer machine near the entrance. The Healer can heal themselves by drinking from the spring to recover Life points and cure poison. To heal teammates, the Healer must use the healing vial on the spring to fill it, then use the vial on the teammate. Another option is to right click on the healer spring and select "take-from". Healing also replenishes run energy. This is especially important for the Defender and the Collector.
To make the Healer's job a little easier, the Healer has an extra element in their interface that displays the health of each teammate. If a teammate uses the "Medic" option on their horn, it will cause a green cross to flash next to their LP, and this won't stop flashing until that teammate is healed.
Poisoned food can be used on Penance Healers to poison them with damage starting at about 2100 life points. On waves 1-7 and 10, a single poisoned food is required to kill a Penance Healer, on waves 8 and 9, at least two will be required for each healer. However, due to the nature of poison, as it wears off the damage will become diminished so it is advised to use more. The Penance Healers can poison teammates (including the Healer) with damage starting at ? points per hit. The poison is also cured when a player is healed. Poisoned food can be obtained from the Healer machine near the entrance. Note when Penance Healers are poisoned the poison appears to hit more often than normal.
There are three types of poisoned food: Poisoned worms, Poisoned tofu, and Poisoned meat. The Healer should use the correct type of poisoned food told by the Defender. This will change every 30 seconds. If the wrong type of food is used no damage will be dealt.
Strategy Tip: Once a poison pack is applied, the poison effect is substantial and very little else needs to be done. Since Penance Healers also move around quite a lot, it is often more effective to poison as many Penance Healers as possible in the short term and then alternate to healing fellow players before returning to poison the Penance Healers again. This way, even if Penance Healers remain at the end of the round, they are more easily dispatched through the use of the egg launcher. Honour points are rewarded for healing teammates, and the damage done by Penance Healers is minimal, so this strategy ensures high scoring games at low risk to players, with ease of destroying Penance Healers at the end of each round, however it will lengthen the time it takes to complete each wave.
Every wave, four species of penance enemy will spawn: Fighters, Rangers, Healers, and Runners. A greater number of every type of Penance will spawn in subsequent waves, and the enemies that spawn in higher waves will be stronger, thus making the final waves more challenging than the first. The number and strength of penance that spawn in wave 10 are identical to those in wave 7; wave 10 is effectively wave 7 plus a Penance Queen.
Waves 1-10
The number of penance that spawn every wave is as follows (note that these penance do not all spawn at once):
|Penance Fighters

|Wave 4
|Wave 5
|Wave 6
|Wave 7

|Wave 10
The Penance Queen
In wave 10, the Penance Queen will spawn. The Queen is impervious to normal attack, and can only be killed with Omega eggs. (see below)
The wave begins as any other wave, but players will notice that the battlefield is not the same as the battlefields in Waves 1 through 9. There is only one Egg Launcher instead of two. There are also poison springs, lava craters, and spiked mushrooms dotted around the edges of the battlefield.
The Penance Fighters, Rangers, Healers, and Runners must be defeated by the team before they can start damaging the Penance Queen. So, it is best to defeat the Penance creatures as quickly as possible, before the Penance Queen actually appears. (Note: There are no penalties for runners that escape, for wrong poison types, and for wrong attack styles.)
The Penance Queen appears after a few minutes, burrowing from the ground in the middle of the arena. The Queen has a long-distance ranged attack that simultaneously hits all five team members, and can potentially inflict large amounts of damage. She will be accompanied by level 69 Queen Spawns, which can be defeated by any team member with any attack style. The spawns continuously respawn.
Upon arrival of the Queen, the team should start making Omega eggs. The Queen will spawn a yellow egg once every 8 seconds. Eight Omega eggs are needed to kill the Penance Queen.
Recommended member roles:
- 1 Attacker (2 if the Healer is level 5 or is skilled)
- 1 Defender
- 2 Healers(1 if the Healer is level 5, or if all players have high defence a level 1 Healer will also suffice)
- 1 Collector
The CHAD system must be used to defeat her, it goes as follows:
|Give to
|Yellow eggs
|Poison springs
|Spiked mushrooms
|Lava craters
|put eggs in Egg Hopper
|Launch! and kill Queen
- The Collector gathers Yellow eggs that the Queen drops. The eggs are passed ("Use" option) to the Healer.
- The Healer dunks the eggs in the poison springs. Once done, the eggs are given to the Attacker.
- The Attacker adds spikes to the eggs from the spiked mushrooms. The eggs are passed along to the Defender. It is recommended that you collect the spikes before the Queen comes, as it will speed up the process of passing the eggs on, and ultimately improves chance of survival.
- The Defender dunks the eggs in the lava craters, and hands them back to the Collector.
- The Collector places them in the Egg Hopper, and the Egg Launcher is ready to be fired.
Once the Omega eggs are loaded, any team member can start shooting the Penance Queen. Each hit heavily damages the Queen. Keep hitting with Omega eggs until the Queen is killed (eight eggs are needed).
When fighting the Penance Queen, the Healer probably has the most work to do - teammates will need far more healing than in earlier waves as they have to make the Omega eggs, and perform their usual roles as well. For this reason, it is recommended that the fifth member of the team be an extra Healer. Even if the Healer is experienced and is a level 5 Healer, having an extra Healer is still recommended; however, it is still possible with one level 1 Healer.

I am really looking forward to TIFF this year. This week the film title and schedule info was released for the following programs: Canadian Retrospective, Midnight Madness, Sprockets Family Zone and Wavelengths.
Of the group, Midnight Madness holds the most interest for me out of this bunch and I'm wondering if this year I will make it to a midnight screening or fall into regular habits of seeing them during the day. There is something so surreal about seeing these films at 9am be them scary, wild, funny but most of all... over the top as in way above and beyond, taking a left past yonder and shoot straight past expectations.
So far on my list of this years selection are:
Flash Point
Dir: Wilson Yip
Looks like some serious fighting in this cop flick. I missed SPL at the 2005, which is by the same director, so I will take special care to make it out to this one.
George A. Romero Diary of the Dead
Dir: George A. Romero
Bring on the zombies!!!
Dir: Fumihiko Sari
I'm not usually first in queue for animated flick but this looks gorgeous and I find the premise of a futuristic yet self-isolated country fascinating.
See my reviews of films from last years Midnight Madness: The Host / Gwoemul, The Abandoned

Kierkegaard on existence
". . . whether I am moving in the world of sensate palpability or in the world of thought, I never reason in conclusion to existence, but I reason in conclusion from existence. For example, I do not demonstrate that a stone exists but that something which exists is a stone. The court of law does not demonstrate that a criminal exists but that the accused, who does indeed exists, is a criminal. Whether one wants to call existence an accessorium [addition] or the eternal prius [presupposition], it can never be demonstrated."
–Soren Kierkegaard, from Philosophical Fragments
William Blake on Perception
Man's perceptions are not bounded by organs of perception, he perceives more than sense (tho' ever so acute) can discover.

1968: october 31
Friday, October 31, 2008
On this date 40 years ago, President Johnson announced that he would stop all bombing of North Vietnam. This decision was tied to new peace talks with Hanoi. Operation Rolling Thunder, the name given to the Americans' bombing campaign, had lasted for 3 1/2 years. Wikipedia tells us that "Estimates of civilian deaths caused by American bombing in operation Rolling Thunder range from 52,000 to 182,000." Whatever the objectives of the campaign (and they were varied, changing, and often unclear), it is considered to have been a failure.
Near the end of Johnson's speech, which came just before the 1968 election, he stated:
I do not know who will be inaugurated as the 37th President of the United States next January. But I do know that I shall do all that I can in the next few months to try to lighten his burdens as the contributions of the Presidents who preceded me have greatly lightened mine. I shall do everything in my power to move us toward the peace that the new President--as well as this President and, I believe, every other American--so deeply and urgently desires.

Get started with the Whole System Change process and the NPDL Suite of Tools so that every student can access deep learning!
Four elements propel a shift in practice from traditional to deep learning.
Visit the Enigma Portal to view the 6 C's and the new pedagogies in action in Wooranna Park Public School, Victoria, Australia.
Six deep learning competencies define what it means to be a deep learner. Learning progressions for each of the 6 competencies add precision by specifying the dimensions of each competency. They are used to design and assess learning and to measure growth in the competency.
The Collaborative Inquiry Cycle, a model to assess, design, implement, measure and change, is used to mobilize and collectively create the new knowledge that is required to enable whole system change.
NPDL is learning alongside schools, families, and communities who are working as living laboratories to identify the pedagogical practices that are required for deep learning at every level of the system.
An evaluative monitoring system designed to shift practices, demonstrate and measure student performance and progression in the 6 Deep Learning Competencies, and to identify ways to improve school, cluster, and system conditions for Deep Learning.
Capacity building is an essential process for developing the knowledge, skills and commitment at all levels of the system needed to shift practices from traditional schooling to deep learning.
Collaborative learning is a key driver to accelerate this shift. As people learn from the work together, greater clarity and shared purpose emerge. They feel supported and challenged to persist because they see results.
NPDL provides a capacity building system of tools, processes and rich resources that accelerate this shift in designing deep learning and creating conditions that accelerate change.
Designing deep learning experiences requires new pedagogical practices and partnerships. NPDL's Learning Design Protocol, Learning Design Rubric, Learning Progressions, and Resource Modules provide exemplars for capacity building.
Deep learning will only happen on a transformational scale when the right conditions exist at the school, cluster and education system level. Learning Conditions Rubrics and processes help leaders to; assess their organizations; develop strategies to provide conditions that will propel deep learning at all levels; and evaluate progress.
Deep Learning experiences are dramatically different from the traditional way that teaching and learning has been since the industrial age. When breaking this very new ground and bringing deep learning concepts to life, there were simply no existing assessment instruments that could adequately measure or provide clarity on student progress or performance in the Deep Learning Competencies.
To implement deep learning and the new pedagogies needed to bring it to life, we developed a series of concepts, capacity building resources, frameworks, learning labs, a digital platform, and a new measurement system, The Suite of Tools.
The Suite of Tools is an evaluative monitoring system designed to assess starting points, monitor progress and evaluate impact and progression of Deep Learning at all levels of the system. When combined they provide a structured and valid way of measuring and improving:
The Suite of Tools are designed to be implemented in any local context and can be seamlessly integrated with the required academic assessments in any country and system.

Gaming enthusiasts who own an Android smartphone and keep looking for the best RTS title out there, tend to have the games downloaded from the Play Store, choosing those that are extremely popular, and engaging. Others are only interested in the newest and the best FPS releases. The year 2017 brought both categories some of the most impressive titles up to date:
5.Square Enix Games
Square Enix offers many alternatives to both RPG fans and best RTS seekers. You can play Final Fantasy 1-7 and 9, Dragon Ques, Chrono Trigger or Chaos Ring. But there are other alternatives such as Hitman: Sniper, Tomb Raider, Deux Ex Go or Lara Croft. All of best RTS games are well-represented graphically and almost all, immediately attract the attention of any gaming enthusiast. The tactical fight, the psychic and the physical battle will meet somewhere in the middle, and players will have to control everything. Square Enix has two developer pages on Google Play, so that each one can choose what kind of experiences you'll choose.
4.The Room Series
Unlike free pokies games, the latest game in The Room series is a big shot, and for those who have never played this type of game before, The Room is an impressive puzzle game that adds a series of unique objects to a room players need to sit down and discover the many hidden secrets. The more they progress from one room to another, the closer they will get to solving the puzzle. It's the best game to try if you like solving mysteries.
3. Rockstar Games
The best RTS games prepared and promoted by Rockstar do not need any further introduction. Some of the company's console games are also present on Google Play, where gaming enthusiasts can try out different experiences of different popular characters from the world of PCs or consoles. Classic games such as Grand Theft Auto, Vice City or San Andrea, as well as Max Payne Mobile or GTA: Liberty City Stories or Chinatown Wars have made sense in recent years on Android and will continue to rule over the best RTS ones this year as well.
2. Card Thief
Many mobile gaming aficionados were expecting just another average card game, yet much like the best RTS releases or the best tower defense games out there, Card Thief brought something completely new to the table. The players have one single card, the Thief, which needs to pass over 11 other cards which are the enemy Guards. This is a game of skills, logic and sharp thinking that will get anyone hooked right from the start.
1. Neon Chrome
Most mobile gaming aficionados have been completely taken by surprise by this action-packed dual-stick shooter, that outshined even the best RTS releases. Players can enjoy 20 amazing levels that never cease to surprise and will have players hooked for good once they will have unlocked the first set of abilities. The graphics are on measure and much like the best RTS titles out there, Neon Chrome is here to stay.
As the Play Store is expanding more and more each day, keeping up with the latest releases becomes harder, yet the best RTS, best FPS and best tower defense games will always surface first. They usually generate a lot of fuss and commotion among players right from the start, the moment a great new game is released, all other Android users are likely to find out about it right away.

Can MST research produce the same encouraging results in Canada as the original research?
The Research
Alison Cunningham, Director of Research and Planning for the Centre for Children and Families in the Canadian justice system reported on the outcome of a four-year randomized study of 409 families in four Canadian agencies. Half the participants received MST while the others received the usual services available through the local youth justice and social services system. Participants were followed for a minimum of six months and up to three years following these interventions. Researchers sought to replicate the positive results from two studies conducted by MST researchers from the Medical University in South Carolina; one in South Carolina and the other in Missouri. To ensure strict fidelity to the MST model, participating therapists received training and consultation from MST developers. An experimental design was used to determine if MST could reduce custodial and residential care, find an alternative to custody and provide that alternative in a cost-effective manner. With a few encouraging studies indicating success with youthful offenders, those engaged in this effort hoped to validate previous study findings and then incorporate MST into the Canadian service delivery system.
The research indicated that the outcome measures from the MST group and the usual service group were not distinguishable statistically and that there was minimal cost savings by using MST rather than the usual interventions. The MST group had slightly better outcomes on four of the fifteen indicators while the usual services group had slightly better outcomes on an equal number of other indicators. Outcome measures included: incarceration rates; length of sentences; prosecutions; caregiver depression; family adaptability, parent report of child's externalizing symptoms and youth report of internalizing symptoms. The researchers postulated that several factors may have led to the lack of replicability including different interventions generally available within Canada as compared to those available in the U.S. The researchers are also seeking funding to examine non-criminal justice indicators such as school completion and employment to look at the longer term trajectories of these youth.
Implications for Professionals
We are all seeking research and evidence-based approaches to improve practice and especially to improve the outcome of our work with children and youth. The relatively low base rate of re-offense by youth after bona fide treatment, and the lack of sufficient research dollars, randomized assignment, strict fidelity to model replicability, and a large enough sample make establishing statistical significance challenging in our exploration of programmatic impact. The Medical University of South Carolina's initial research on MST's offered some of the most promising results in our field.
However, rather than simply apply the program to a different environment, the Centre for Children and Families applied extremely rigorous research standards in Canada, only to find that those results could not be replicated. This article suggests that we should be careful consumers of what works and what doesn't. We should also be ready to ask, "what programs work where, with whom, in which situations, and with what replicability". Further, the thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of both the research methodology and different ways in which the results could be understood make this article well-worth reading beyond the specific questions being explored in the research.
Implications for the Field
This study does not refute the initial promising results for MST. The study does however suggest the need for quality research on which intervention models produce results in different environments and with different populations. This Canadian study suggests that even the best programs and practices backed by good research require additional inquiry to ensure that the results can be replicable to various external situations.
In addition to adopting a cautious perspective on all research, as we have urged many times in the past, given the personal and economic cost of making mistakes both for victims and for our clients, we must find the resources to conduct more rigorous outcome research. We need to know what works, what doesn't, and, as this study points out, we need to know with whom and in which situations. It is one of the major challenges facing our field in the coming years.
This report contains interim outcome data from a four-year randomized study of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) in four southern Ontario communities. With therapy teams in London, Mississauga, Simcoe County and Ottawa, about 200 families received MST between 1997 and 2001. At the same time, about 200 families continued with the usual services available through the local youth justice and social service systems. These services typically took the form of probation supervision augmented as seen necessary by referral to specialized programming.
Group assignment was determined randomly so the two groups were equivalent at the outset. That being true, the behaviour of the usual services group reflects the behaviour of the MST recipients, had they not received MST, and any post-intervention differences can be attributed to MST.
Ontario's Ministry of Community and Social Services supported the project because MST promised to be a cost-efficient way of reducing youth crime. Reductions in offending would, in turn, reduce both losses to crime victims and costs associated with criminal justice processing.
The National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) in Ottawa supported the evaluation to learn if MST could be a cost-efficient intervention for youth crime and if it might be a viable alternative to custody for serious offenders. This is the final report to the National Crime Prevention Centre pursuant to that funding. Because each youth will be tracked for three years, the study will not be complete until 2004.
The multi-site nature of the project permitted comparisons across different types of communities under variable conditions of implementation. The intent was to implement the same intervention across the sites and all teams had the same training, were supervised by the same MST consultant, and met quarterly for boosters. A standard research protocol was used. Other important features of the study were intake screening against inclusionary and exclusionary criteria, a large sample, a valid measure of outcome, and long-term follow-up.
The data collection strategy was specifically designed to answer research questions posed by stakeholder groups. Considerable care and expense were expended to ensure fidelity to the treatment model. The outcome measure involved real behaviour in the community, not in-program changes in attitudes or clinical symptoms. The research was designed and conducted by investigators independent of the method's developer, the funder, and the agencies delivering the program..

We are looking for a new logo which will help in our branding so that we can be clearly recognizable to our supporter base and prospective church planters.
The usual logo for church planters involves hands cusping a seedling. Perhaps that's a bit cliched now?, but perhaps a new angle on this can be imagined. Incorporating the map of Queensland would be good so that we can be 'placed'. We are keen on the initials MTQ being prominent, although open to other renditions (symbol designs with 'Mission To Queenland' as a by-line. The key themes for the agency are:

Each season the team at the Pantone Color Institute creates the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report; a color overview highlighting the top colors fashion designers showing at NY Fashion Week will be featuring in their collections for the upcoming season. With color on the catwalk a key indicator of the color stories we can expect to see showing up across all areas of design, the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report is your easily accessible guide to the season's most important color trends.
Combining classicism with colorful expression, the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report Fall/Winter 2018 features a bold palette of autumnal hues complemented by some more unexpected shades. Continuing to underscore the desire for color that transcends the seasons, the report for Fall/Winter 2018 highlights the top 10 colors for men's and women's fashion, as well as five new classics.
Colors for Fall/Winter 2018 express our need for individuality, ingenuity and creativity. There is a continued transition away from cyclical trends, and instead a strong focus on self-expressive colors that evade antiquated seasonal structure. As a result, we are seeing some very notable non-traditional choices showing up in the Fall/Winter palette, such as PANTONE 12-0740 Limelight and PANTONE 15-3520 Crocus Petal. These unexpected shades reinvent the seasonal color story and allows for the artistry and originality that moves fashion forward.
While mixing and combining unexpected colors can result in a signature style or look, we are also seeing colors for Fall/Winter 2018 similarly impactful standing alone. More-so than in previous seasons, many of these hues are strong enough in their own right and are being used to make very specific color statements on their own.
About the Fall/Winter 2018 Top 10 Color Palette
Autumnal hues that evoke the feeling of leaves on the forest floor, rich plumage and twilight reveal a modern fall palette of deep and rich tones with outbursts of colorful surprise.
Ultra Violet 18-3838 TCX

About the Fall/Winter 2018 Classic Color Palette
While there is no 'typical' anymore, there remains a need for structure and foundation in everyday fashion. Our five core colors, easily worn across the seasons, are more crucial than ever. As 'trends' stay relevant longer, and consumers look to add variety through new textures, fabrics and beautiful combinations, these five core shades serve as the critical building blocks for your wardrobe.

DLR Group llC
Construction Manager
After completing a major renovation to the Dan and Ada Rice Athletic Center in 2011, ICI was contracted to create a new state-of-the-art football center on the northwest side of the existing athletic facility. Named after the Borsellino Family, the new football center inhabits the former site of the unused racquetball courts as well as a 1,675 SF addition on the west side of the athletic center.
The center features flat panel televisions, a 8' marker board wall for game preparation, 121 professional wood lockers, shower facilities, a team meeting area and players' lounge. The lighting adds a dynamic element to the space; LED lights shift the space from standard lighting to the school's powerful red hue.
The lockers accommodate today's football equipment and include storage for helmets, shoulder pads and have lockable space for personal items, including charging stations for phone and other electronic devices.
The vacant 2nd floor weight room, which has not been in use, was also renovated and houses golf simulators.

The much-anticipated Apple event held yesterday-12th September, 2017. Of course, we were not disappointed as Apple awed us with amazing innovation. We share some of the key highlights and moments of Apple's event:
New iPhones
Apple revealed three new iPhones namely the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X. The first two are small upgrades over last year's iPhone 7, while the iPhone X is a peep into Apple's future. The iPhone 8 is nearly identical to the iPhone 7 but adds wireless charging, upgraded cameras and a faster processor. It's also water-resistant like the iPhone 7. It launches later this month starting at $699 (N251,290) and iPhone 8 plus cost $799 (N287,240). The iPhone X is a total overhaul with a nearly full-screen display and a powerful new front-facing camera with Face ID. It starts at $999 (359,140) and launches later this year.
Apple TV 4K
Apple is upgrading its set-top box to support 4K video. If you have a 4K television this is great news. If not, this might be the thing that pushes you to upgrade your TV. The Apple TV 4K can stream high-resolution video from services like Netflix, Hulu and ESPN.
iOS 11 Release Date
Apple also announced that the latest version of its operating system, iOS 11 officially launches on Sept. 19. The new software adds the ability to record your onscreen activity and a better tool for snapping and editing screenshots.
Face Identification to unlock your phone
Apple also debuted Face ID, a face-scanning system exclusive to the iPhone X. Face ID uses an array of cameras and sensors to unlock your device, activate Apple Pay and much-more. It is quite secure.
Apple Watch Series 3
Apple Watch Series 3 no longer needs to be connected to a phone for core functions like phone calls, messaging, mapping, and even Apple Music streaming unlike the previous models. In addition to this, Apple added a new dual-core processor to the Apple Watch Series 3 that is 70% faster than the chipset in last year's model. It will be released on September 22nd.

Last season, it was the men's turn, as the August Wilson Center Dance Ensemble celebrated African-American choreographers Kyle Abraham, Antonio Brown and Darrell Grand Moultrie in The Dynamic Men of Dance ... Celebration of the Black Man. This weekend, women are in the spotlight as the ensemble presents the Dynamic Women of Dance.
The program includes works by Sidra Bell, Camille A. Brown, Kiesha Lalama and Kim Bears-Bailey. Some are familiar names to Pittsburgh audiences, through works like Bell's brilliant "Lily," performed by Point Park University's Conservatory Dance Company in 2011.
When she spoke with CP, by phone from New York, the jet-setting Bell had just completed a work for a dance company in Denmark. She returns to Pittsburgh with a new work created for AWCDE entitled "when we get to the other side i will kiss you."
The 25-minute piece for the full ensemble is set to electronica music by Scanner and others. Bell characterizes it as a melancholy journey about relationships and carrying someone else's burden.
"It's a theatrical work that [homes] in on aspects of the dancers' individual personalities," says Bell. "There is a lot of partnering in it, and it goes back and forth between the individual and a group dynamic."
Brown, meanwhile, presents a seven-minute excerpt from her 2006 work "New Second Line." The piece, inspired by the events of Hurricane Katrina, is set to music by Rebirth Brass Band and celebrates the resilience of New Orleans' people through the practice of "second lining." That's when strangers spontaneously join in New Orleans-style funeral processions behind the deceased's family and friends, partying and glorifying that person's life.
"This is a way we continue to honor people and continue to speak their name and existence," says Brown by phone from New York.
Point Park assistant professor Lalama's new work for AWCDE, "Torque," confronts her recent frustration over personal, social and political issues prevalent in society.
"I felt like I was on this rotating axis just running in place and I couldn't break free to effect change and make a difference," says Lalama. "Torque" is set to music by Afro Celt Sound System.
Completing the program is former Philadanco principal dancer Bears-Bailey's "Relations" set to music by Donny Hathaway.

To do this, they are looking more closely at varieties that have evolved over the last 20 years to make food plants better suited to the landscape. By Maureen Gilmer, Scripps Howard.

SILVIO CALABI: The optimal Kia - Coming out of a meeting into the parking lot one night last week, I squint at the keys that were thrust into my hands a moment earlier: K-I-A. There's a lovely Jaguar coupe lurking next to a midsize Merc, nope, not them, or the monster Ram pickup. I don't see a Kia. And it's raining. Finally it dawns on me to trigger the keyfob. As I home in on the flashing lights I think, That's a Kia? That long, sleek thing with the attitude and the fancy wheels? By Silvio Calabi, GHNS columnist.

Before The Voice, Mark Burnett brought us Rock Star: INXS, his original anti-Idol. I missed it the first time around, and I've been marathoning it to assuage my Voice withdrawal. I'm surprised this wasn't a bigger hit when it originally aired, because music- and drama-wise (and Brooke Burke's somewhat flat delivery notwithstanding), it's one hell of a show. Which brings us to the eventual fates of the rockers — did Rock Star: INXS give them that much-needed lucky break, or have they slipped back into oblivion, along with most former reality TV contestants? Let's find out:
15. Dana Robbins
Dana was the first to be booted off the Rock Star Mansion after her unfortunate performance of Knockin' On Heaven's Door. My Google-Fu fails me on this one; it seems Dana Robbins belongs to the latter category, and has dropped off the face of the earth.
14. Wil Seabrook
Wil Seabrook is alive and well and still in the music business. Recent credits include being featured in the 2009 movie The Six Wives Of Henry Lefay. It's interesting to note that his official website has no mention of his stint on Rock Star: INXS, which is still his most high-profile gig to date. Perhaps he doesn't want folks to remember he was booted out second, after he failed to "work the room" with his lackluster performance of Need You Tonight?

13. Neal Carlson
I have a soft spot for Neal Carlson, because the others seemed genuinely sad to see him go. For a while he was the lead singer of BONA ROBA and then Mink, but has since gone solo. Recent credits include being featured on the cover of Rock Band 3. According to his official website, he's "available for guitar lessons, birthday parties, or corporate events."

12. Daphna Dove
There isn't much information on the recent exploits of Daphna Dove, except for a music video for a song called Stop Philosophy. I did learn that her mother is a famous Israeli singer called Elisa Gabbai, which I don't recall was ever mentioned on the show.
11. Heather Luttrell
Heather Luttrell was sent home together with Daphna Dove in a shocking two-way elimination. She's still rocking it and, among the five rockers featured so far, has the most considerable online presence (you werq that social media, girl) and number of fans. She has toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd for the past couple of years on their annual music festival at sea, the Simple Man Cruise, and is currently working on her next album, PossumDiva.

For the most part, men in the military are honorable and are highly respected for serving our country. If you're looking to meet a military man, whether for friendship or a romantic relationship, here's where to find one.
Get a civilian job on base. Everyone needs toilet paper and gas, so you'll meet lots of military gents as a cashier at the exchange store or gas station.
Hang out on base whenever possible. Once you know people in the military, ask them to invite you to events on base, such as movie showings, the annual ball and parties at the barracks.
Frequent bars and clubs around the base. Popular hangouts include pubs, karaoke bars, and anywhere known for having budget-friendly drinks, especially places that offer military discounts.
Go online. Many people in the military join social networking sites to stay connected with their loved ones and to meet new people. They may also be members of dating sites such as MilitaryDate.com or MilitarySingles.com.
Write letters from home. Get a military penpal, or two or three. (See Resources below.)
Attend military-sponsored events: recruiting events, Fleet Week (when a military ship recently deployed overseas docks in a major city for a week), military parades, air shows and events sponsored by veterans clubs. These are all packed with military men and their friends and families.
More Articles
- Make sure you're looking for a military man for the right reasons. Military guys are (rightly) suspicious of would-be partners who're just looking for a steady paycheck and benefits.
- When you find your perfect military man, be prepared for him to go off to war or be stationed in another state or country.

In this review, I tested some popular 6S LiPo batteries for racing drones and mini quads, comparing their performance including capacity, discharge rate, and internal resistance.
Update (16/09/2019): We tested some newer 6S batteries in 2019! Click link to see more.
6S LiPo Battery Options
Here the 6S batteries I've experience with, and where to get them.
|6S LiPo
|Tattu R-Line 95C 1300mAh
|Amazon | GetFPV | Gensace
|Gens Ace 45C 1050mAh
|Amax 75C 1150mAh
|Pluse 75C 1050mAh
Tattu R-Line 6S 95C 1300mah
Both of these batteries are made by the same company, with similar style of packaging. However these packs have very different performance.
A huge "thank you" to Tattu for sending me these batteries for my testing!
Tattu R-Line is the premium battery brand for racing drones, their 4S version is probably one of the highest quality batteries I know, so you can expect good performance from their 6S version.
- Discharge wires: 12AWG, 8cm
- Balance lead: 4cm
Gens Ace 6S 45C 1050mAh
The Gens Ace 6S 1050mAh pack is actually designed primarily for RC Helicopters. It's equipped with an EC3 connector, not an XT60, so in order to test this battery I had to manually replace the discharging connector first.
There is so much I like about this battery: weight, dimension, price, and capacity… There are just not enough 6S LiPo batteries on the market in the 1000mAh capacity range. Although the C rating is a bit low, we shall find out how it performs in our test.
- Discharge wires: 16AWG, 11cm (wires might be a little too small)
- Balance lead: 5cm
Another interesting observation: the price, weight, capacity and dimension of the Pulse 6S 75C 1050mAh all sound familiar. Can they be the same battery under the stickers? Too bad I am unable to get a Pulse battery because they are only sold in America, and everywhere I looked is unable to ship to Europe for a reasonable price.
Amax 6S 75C 1150mAh
The Amax 6S 1150mAh LiPo battery is another affordable option for those who want to give 6S setup a try :) They come with very nice packaging, which is totally unnecessary TBH…
- Discharge wires: 14AWG, 11cm
- Balance lead: 4cm
The Best 6S LiPo Battery – Test & Result
Internal Resistance
The IR values are measured by my iSDT charger after they are fully charged. All numbers are in mΩ, the higher, the worse.
|Tattu R-Line 95C 1300mAh
|Gens Ace 45C 1050mAh
|Amax 75C 1150mAh
Actual Capacity
Capacity is measured by discharging the battery from 4.2V to 3.5V per cell during flight.
|Actual Capacity
|Tattu R-Line 95C 1300mAh
|Gens Ace 45C 1050mAh
|Amax 75C 1150mAh
Battery Performance
To test the performance of the batteries, I flew around this race course multiple times. The routine includes a 5-second WOT punch out (100% throttle), and low throttle cruising with the rest of the lap.
Current and voltage are measured where the red dots are, the data will help determine the performance of the battery: how much power the battery can provide, how bad the voltage sag is, and how fast can they recover from a "punchout", etc.
Further Reading: How to choose LiPo Battery?
Voltage Comparison
The Tattu R-Line is a clear winner here! I am amazed to see it even had less voltage drop than others when cursing. The advantage becomes more obvious when we started going full throttle: both the Gens Ace 1050mAh and Amax 1150mAh dropped to about 20.4V at their first punch outs, while the Tattu remained at a stunning 21.8V!
Between the Amax and Gensace, I can't really decide which is better, voltage sag seems to be about the same.
The reason for the Tattu's superior performance can be related to its larger capacity, but note that the actual capacity of the Amax is 1350mAh which is in fact quite close to the Tattu's, so it must be the higher C rating. That also explains why it has so much lower internal resistance than the other batteries.
The funny thing is the Amax is advertized at 75C while the Gens Ace is rated at 45C…. Go figure!
Power Comparison
Power is the product of current and voltage. Since we know from the last graph that the Tattu has the lowest voltage sag, it's not a surprise to find out it can provide the most power too.
We couldn't decide between Gens Ace and Amax, but now we can…
The Gens Ace seems to be able to squeeze a bit more current out of the battery than the Amax though they both have the same voltage drop. And this is very consistent in all the laps we tested.
So… which battery to get? I feel like there is still something I personally don't like in each battery.
For maximum performance, hands down, Tattu R-Line 6S 95C 1300mAh! But it's pricey and heavy! I can feel the extra weight from the battery in my flying, even though it has better "punch". I wish Tattu can make a lighter pack such as 1000mAh.
The Gens Ace 6S 45C 1050mAh would have been my ideal battery, if it came with XT60 connector with 14Awg electrical wires, and up the C rating to 75C or more would be nice too…
I was expecting the Amax 6S 75C 1150mAh to have better performance because of all that beautiful packaging. Anyway, don't forget it's only $28, it probably won't have enough power to run aggressive motors and propellers, but it should be good enough for an efficient setup.
LiPo manufacturers, please listen and make some more 6S 800mAh-1000mAh 75C-95C batteries :)

According to realtor.org, $4 billion to $6 billion in losses in the United States each year are from mortgage fraud. This federal crime is becoming more and more common, but there are some red flags that can help lenders and investigative agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation identify cases of mortgage fraud.
Fannie Mae reports that loan file inconsistencies can be a sign of mortgage fraud. However, the government sponsored enterprise says that one or two inconsistencies doesn't mean that fraud was the intent. Here are some of the areas where red flags might appear in a loan application, as well as what inconsistencies signal a need for the lender to look more closely.
Mortgage application
-- Unsigned application
-- Same phone number at home and employment
-- Purpose of loan is to refinance for cash on a property that was just purchased
-- Employer's address is a post office box
Sales contract
-- No real estate agent involved in transaction
-- Seller is not on title
-- The purchaser of the property is not the same person as on title
-- The name on the earnest money deposit is not the same as the buyer's
Credit report
-- No credit history
-- Many recent credit inquiries
-- Debt shown on credit report that is not reported on application for mortgage
-- The age of the applicant does not match up with length of established credit
Employment/income documentation
-- Cannot contact employer
-- Handwritten paystubs
-- The income does not appear to be what one would earn in stated employment field
-- Applicant doesn't have a lot in the bank even though he or she reports a high income
Asset documentation
-- The down payment is not made by a deposit
-- The amount of the applicant's deposit isn't supported by his or her salary
-- The earnest money source is not apparent
-- The occupant of the property is listed as unknown or tenant
-- The paperwork isn't clear on whether the property is a refinance or purchase
-- The market value of the property is much less than the purchase price
These are just a few of the red flags that lenders look for. Those who have been charged with mortgage fraud need an experienced attorney by their side. This type of charge carries heavy penalties upon conviction.

The global breast lesion localization methods market is expected to reach USD 1.57 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing government and non-government reimbursement policies for mammary gland cancer diagnosis, biopsy, pre-surgical examinations, and other treatment options is estimated to increase the adoption of breast lesion localization procedures. For instance, the Alabama Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program aims to provide breast and cervical oncology diagnostic and screening services to women who meet certain income, age, and insurance coverage eligibility guidelines.
Furthermore, rising prevalence of breast cancer is anticipated to propel the market growth. The disease is highly prevalent amongst women belonging to the age group of 65 years or above. The maximum risk of mammary gland cancer is between the age of 70 and 79. On the other hand, men are also at a risk of breast cancer. In the U.S., median age of men at diagnosis is approximately 68 years.
U.S. breast lesion localization methods, by type, 2014 – 2025 (USD Billion)
Browse full research report on Breast Lesion Localization Methods Market
Further key findings from the report suggest:
- Wire localization biopsy dominated the market in 2016 owing to its higher usage by healthcare practitioners, easy availability, and presence of a wide product range
- Magnetic tracer is expected to grow at lucrative CAGR of 14.0% over the forecast period as a result of increasing adoption of MagSNOLL technology over conventional wire localization.
- Radioisotope seed localization is considered the most preferred method amongst all radioisotope localization methods due to its benefits such as ease of localization few weeks before the excision surgery and lesser need for reoperation.
- North America is estimated to be the largest regional market. It dominated the market in terms of revenue with USD 185.04 million in 2016 owing to the presence of well-established healthcare services and increasing number of oncology surgeries being performed.
- In addition, early adoption of devices and shift from traditional to technologically advanced products by healthcare providers are some of the factors anticipated to increase the demand for localization devices in this region
- Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region over the next decade with lucrative CAGR from 2017 to 2025 due to growing awareness about breast screening among the people. Furthermore, presence of a large target population and rising disposable income are some of the factors expected to propel the growth of this region.
- Key players in this industry are Cianna Medical, Inc.; Cook Medical; STERYLAB; CP Medical; SOMATEX Medical Technologies; Argon Medical Devices, Inc.; and C.R BARD, Inc.
- Most of the key players are focusing on strategies such as expansion of their product portfolios and collaborations, mergers, & acquisitions. In November 2015, C.R. BARD, Inc. announced the acquisition of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., a direct-to-customer distributor of medical products

Barcelona make Coutinho promise to Neymar
Barcelona have promised Neymar the signings of Philippe Coutinho and Paulinho as they attempt to keep him at the club, according to reports.
The Brazilian forward has been strongly linked with a summer exit from Camp Nou as Lique 1 side Paris Saint Germain are willing to pay his release clause.
Talk of a reported move to PSG has gained rapid pace in recent weeks, despite Barca's denial of any such reports.
Catalan daily Sport claimed last week that the Brazil international would not be returning to the Catalan capital and instead – jet to France to finalise a deal with the Parisien club once the US tour had finished.
However, that was deemed seemingly false after Barca defender Gerard Pique posted a picture with Neymar, saying 'he stays.'
And, following the post – reports have now surfaced that the Catalan club have convinced him to stay by promising him the signings of Coutinho and Paulinho.
Barca's interest in Coutinho has been rife since the summer began with Neymar himself calling for the Brazil international to leave Liverpool and move to Camp Nou.
Whilst, interest in former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Paulinho has gathered pace in recent weeks with a bid made to Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande.
