2016 Fiscal Year
In a Seattle suburb, a little boy dreamed of overcoming a life-threatening heart condition and being big and strong. He wanted to help keep his city safe from bad guys. Little did he know his chance was coming. He was the only person who could save the day.
Meet our hero, Aiden.
We're taking you behind-the-scenes to see how everyday people like you have something to contribute. Click the stories below to see how Aiden's wish unfolded, and the community who came together to transform him into Justice Boy.
It started with a phone call: five-year-old Aiden, who was waiting for a life-saving transplant, wished to be a superhero.
Meet two of the people who helped Aiden transform in to his alter ego, Justice Boy, and all the people who came in to help along the way.
Every superhero heeds a villain to capture. But how do you find the right villain?
Here's how one branding and marketing company used their skills and expertise to develop the perfect plot.
One of the most important things I do, other than being a father of two, is choose to give back to Make-A-Wish."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The final chapter in the painful murder saga of a West Brighton woman ended yesterday with an emergency medical technician forgoing his career for
The lawyer for Mark Musarella told a judge that his client has surrendered his EMT license and won't re-apply for a new one.
The 48-year-old Oakwood Beach resident, who also has performed 200 hours of community service, was spared jail under the sentence imposed yesterday.
Martha and Ronald Wimmer, the parents of the victim, Caroline Wimmer, contend the laws must be changed to allow for stiffer penalties.
In December,
to official misconduct, a misdemeanor, and to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, stemming from the incident.
Musarella was an EMT assigned to Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton, on March 30, 2009, when he snapped a photo with his BlackBerry of
. He had responded to a radio call at her apartment.
Afterward, he posted the shot of Ms. Wimmer's corpse on his Facebook page.
Taking the photo for his personal use violated Fire Department regulations for emergency medical service workers, said District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
Musarella, a retired and decorated NYPD Emergency Services Unit detective, was later fired from RUMC.
Prosecutors said Brooklyn resident Calvin Lawson killed Ms. Wimmer on March 28, 2009, over allegations that she'd told his girlfriend, the mother of his two children, that he was cheating on her with another woman.
Her parents found her lifeless body two days later.
In May, a jury in state Supreme Court, St. George,
. He was sentenced to the maximum of 25 years to life in prison.
After December's plea hearing, defense lawyer Edward J. Pavia Jr. said Musarella was distraught over the incident. He said the defendant accidentally posted the photo, thinking he had actually uploaded another one.
Pavia could not immediately be reached yesterday after the sentencing.
Donovan said he agreed to the deal because it ensured that Musarella lost his EMT license. He would not have been required to relinquish it even had he been convicted at trial of official misconduct, said the D.A.
Under the agreement, Judge Charles Troia vacated Musarella's official misconduct conviction and sentenced him to a conditional discharge for disorderly conduct.
Disorderly conduct is a violation, and technically not classified as a crime, although a jail sentence of up to 15 days can be imposed.

Since the announcement a couple of days ago that Vince McMahon will be returning to Monday's Raw to "shake things up" there has been much speculation about what he will do to draw interest in the show which has been struggling with viewership of late.
Heading into Christmas, with Raw on Christmas and New Year's Eve there will be no doubt more low numbers for the flagship brand.
McMahon's return is a direct result of these low viewing figures and one that wasn't planned for any other reason. It is speculated he will have a role to play in possibly firing Baron Corbin as the Raw General Manager and/or install a new one.
There has also been speculation that he may call up NXT stars to create a buzz heading into 2019.

Speaking to the American Statesman, Brandon Vezmar, 37, says he filed the claim for $17.31 after his date - who has asked to remain unnamed - texted repeatedly during the screening.
Describing it as 'a first date from hell' Vezmar says she texted from her phone at least 10 to 20 times. When he asked her to stop she left the theater and since they'd driven there in her car he was stranded without a ride.
Contacted by the Statesmen, the woman says:
'I had my phone low and I wasn't bothering anybody. It wasn't like constant texting.'
Vezmar then took it upon himself to retrieve the cost of the ticket he had bought for his date that evening. Explaining in his petition that:
'While damages sought are modest, the principle is important as defendant's behavior is a threat to civilized society.'
The date is refusing to pay however, and is reportedly considering taking a protective order out against the man who has contacted her - and her sister - attempting to retrieve the $17.31.
Talk about a terrible first date!

What is Translation Management?
A translation management system or a global management system is a software suite that "manages" translation automation. The idea of these systems is to take the mundane tasks of processing and tracking translation projects (repetitive work) and leave that to software, while the "human" work like cultural interpretation is left up to the translation experts.
There are primarily two functioning parts to the translation management system. There is the linguistic management technology and the process management technology. The two parts come together to form the system.
Typically this software will route content to various users like reviewers, project managers, clients, and translators. It is sort of a smart monitoring system that can significantly reduce overall project time and cost.
Why Should You Care?
As a business owner in this global economy, anything that is going to make your job easier should be something that gets you interested. The translation management system options that are available can be a cost-effective way to manage your content across dozens of different languages, and keep all of your content organized. If you want to save time and money, reduce management input and reduce the cost of overhead than you should certainly care about a well-built system that can do it all.
Every person that is listed in the workflow can receive a notification when there is work waiting for them. Translators can easily work offline or online. The comments and queries are tracked through the system so there is a way for constant monitoring if need me.
The translation management system can be the last piece in the puzzle of taking a company from local to global, and it can also be one of the quickest ways to go from local to global. Managing content using this system can have untold benefits for future applications.
The Future is Now
There is still continued talk about machine translation and its value and what role it will play in the future. The reality is that the future is now and a well built translation management system can play a very important role in making sure that your business is a part of the global economy and all the benefits that come with it, today.

Everyone is vying for the coffee addict's dollar, but what about the tea drinkers? Just over half our population drinks coffee daily, while the rest are left with a paltry and mediocre selection of processed or sugary options. A great way to drive more traffic among non-coffee drinkers is improving your tea options.
The tea latte category has been quietly growing for quite a while, with chai lattes as the leader. But, tea lattes can be made with all types of tea: black or green, and even exotic options like rooibos and matcha. The basic concept of a tea latte is very simple… Instead of espresso, use a concentrated tea mixed with milk. Tea lattes can be made hot, iced or frozen. All forms offer the same health benefits as traditionally brewed tea and are great alternatives to coffee.
Masala Chai is the most popular tea latte. It is made with black tea that is brewed with traditional Indian Spices, sweetened with honey, and mixed with milk. The popularity has led to several different applications. Chai can be found in a powder form, as a liquid concentrate, or a shop can make it from scratch, which allows the shop to cater the sweetness and spice level to their customer base.
Matcha and Matcha lattes may very well be the next big trend in tea. Matcha is a powder made from the leaves of shade-grown tea bushes. These leaves grow slower and are much higher in chlorophyll, accounting for the bright green color. The antioxidants are equivalent to drinking many glasses of regular green tea, and dozens of times higher than blueberries and other so-called superfoods. A matcha latte is best enjoyed sweetened with simple sugar, vanilla or complementing fruit flavors to balance its intense and distinct flavor.
Rooibos is a red "tea" made from the leaves of the red bush of South Africa. One popular adaptation of rooibos tea is red espresso®, which can be extracted similarly to a typical shot of espresso. A shot of red espresso® offers more antioxidants than a regular cup of tea, is naturally caffeine free and helps soothe digestion. Rooibos tea has a pretty neutral flavor and can be used to create endless combinations. Red lattes are a hit with tea lovers, especially when enhanced with different syrup options.

Even though we're a few days into Daylight Savings time, chances are you're still struggling to wake up in the mornings, let alone wake up refreshed. Rise and shine ready for an early-morning workout? Not a chance.
When the time changes, it can take a few days for our internal circadian rhythm to adjust to the presence of light, or lack thereof, at certain times. Light actually suppresses the body's production of melatonin, which helps induce sleep. Darker mornings can make your body believe that it's still night time, just as lighter evenings can prevent you from falling asleep at your usual bedtime. This can be a huge bummer if you count on those early morning hours to get your workout in. Well don't fret, sleepy one. We've got 5 tips to help YOU adjust your body clock to the time change, pronto.
- Nap not. Even though your rear might be dragging by late afternoon, resist the urge for a siesta. The ultimate goal is to get on a good night/day sleep/wake schedule, and napping during the day can undesirably tweak that cycle. Instead of laying down for some shuteye try stepping out into the sunlight for a quick 10-minute walk instead. Not only will you feel great for the brief jolt of exercise, but the sunlight will cue your body that it's time to be wakeful and energized.
- Screen your screen time. Though it can feel relaxing to scroll through your social media feed or play games at night before bed, it can actually be messing with your sleep big-time. The light emitted from your electronics prevents the production of melatonin, much the way sunlight does. Which is exactly what you DON'T need when you're trying to keep a new, earlier bedtime.
- Be ritualistic. You remember when you were little and you needed exactly three stories, two drinks of water, a song, and a mummy-style tuck-in before you could go to sleep at night? It turns out that your parents knew what they were doing when they were humoring you through ONE MORE reading of that story about a curious monkey going camping. When you follow a bedtime ritual your brain starts getting signals that it's time to shut down. Try taking a warm shower, listening to relaxing instrumental music, and spritzing an all-natural lavender or Roman chamomile room spray. Before you know it, you'll start feeling sleepy during Step One, and falling asleep a little more quickly.
- Drink wisely. Or not at all – at least when it comes to alcohol. It's a common misconception that adult beverages aid sleep. You may fall asleep quickly, but you're more prone to sleep disturbances and are likely to wake up feeling rather unrefreshed. Instead, make sure you're properly hydrated, but limit liquid intake 2 hours before bedtime.
- Food matters, too. Limit consumption of spicy foods, or those with refined carbs (think white pasta, white bread, sugary foods) right before bedtime, as these foods can disrupt sleep as well. As being hungry can prevent sleep as well, snack smarter with some whole-grain crackers and cheese or deli turkey, an apple with peanut butter, or a small bowl of unsweetened oatmeal with skim milk. The combo of protein and carbohydrates can help increase the availability of tryptophan in your body, which can help induce sleepiness.

Matt. 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
What an incredible ending to an incredible prayer. The Lord incorporates the various aspects of His prayer model in a form of worship. We are being taught to reinforce our petitions by giving thanks to God in worship. We start off by acknowledging His kingdom. This kingdom is a sovereign kingdom being led by our sovereign King. As we abide in Him and He abides in us, we ask what we desire and He answers us. As we return to worship and declare before the Lord, "Yours is the kingdom", we are acknowledging His sovereignty and are exercising our faith as we worship the Lord. Next we begin to worship as we say, "Yours is the power". As David said, "power belongs to God". As we acknowledge and glorify His power, His supernatural power begins to encompass our prayer. Worship becomes supernatural, the power of God is being displayed on earth. We continue as we begin to honor the glory of the Lord. The glory is the manifest presence of God. Often times, our prayer is confirmed by the very presence of the Glory of the Lord. Matthew Henry taught about this portion of the Lord's prayer. Have a look at his thoughts.
"It is our duty to plead with God in prayer, to fill our mouth with arguments not to move God, but to affect ourselves; to encourage the faith, to excite our fervency, and to evidence both. Now the best pleas in prayer are those that are taken from God himself, and from that which he has made known of himself. We must wrestle with God in his own strength, both as to the nature of our pleas and the urging of them. The plea here has special reference to the first three petitions; "Father in heaven, thy kingdom come, for thine is the kingdom; thy will be done, for thine is the power; hallowed be thy name, for thine is the glory." And as to our own particular errands, these are encouraging: "Thine is the kingdom; thou hast the government of the world, and the protection of the saints, thy willing subjects in it;" God gives and saves like a king. "Thine is the power, to maintain and support that kingdom, and to make good all thine engagements to thy people." Thine is the glory, as the end of all that which is given to, and done for, the saints, in answer to their prayers; for their praise waits for him. This is matter of comfort and holy confidence in prayer."
Have you followed Henry's advice lately? You know, the part about affecting yourself encouraging your faith, and exciting fervency. This is what prayer is ultimately about. In it, we make contact with our Maker; our heart is enflamed, our soul is purified, and our resolve is strengthened. So today would be a good day to pray the Lord's prayer again, after all; His is the kingdom, His is the power, and His is the glory. Amen!

Despite a season milestone for Kirsten Kauk, the Bartlesville High School Lady Bruin softball team suffered a pair of losses during weekend tourney play in Chickasha.
Despite a season milestone for Kirsten Kauk, the Bartlesville High School Lady Bruin softball team suffered a pair of losses during weekend tourney play in Chickasha.
Kauk blasted her first homer of the fall, during an 18-7 loss to Cache, one of the top 10 teams in Class 4A, on Friday.
Kauk's over-the-fence special was a solo shot, said Lady Bruin head coach Jim Hillman, who praised his team's offensive effort in the game, which included a bunt single by Ali Gutc.
"The wind was blowing pretty strong," Hillman explained. "It was a slugfest."
But, Cache seemed blessed with seeing-eye hits, which made the different.
"It was like anything they hit was just out of our reach," the coach said. "They hit a ball that hit the leftfield foul line and another one hit the rightfield foul line. We did not make a lot of defensive mistakes."
Hillman consoled pitcher Kauk by telling her "they're not hitting the ball hard. They're just hitting little loopers."
Earlier on Friday, Tuttle rode the explosive bat of its leadoff hitter to a 10-0 win against Bartlesville.
Tuttle's one-hole slugger blasted two three-run homers and drove in another run or two.
"She pretty much single-handedly beat us," Hillman said.
But, in a season rife with rotten luck, the Lady Bruins may have suffered their worst break so far.
In the top of the first, Bartlesville loaded the bases — on a single by Gutc, a walk issued to Jayla Harder and a hit batsman (MaKayla Mahlo) — with clean-up slugger Katy Armstrong coming to the plate.
Armstrong hit into a doubleplay — with a force at home and a throw to first. The first baseman then tried to throw out Harder going to third, but the ball went astray.
"I sent Jayla home, but they picked up the ball and threw Jayla out going to home," said Hillman. "It was a triple play with an error."
After staying all night in Norman, the Lady Bruins had their games cancelled, due to rain, on Saturday.
Even off the field their streak of misfortune continued to bat a thousand.
The team bus suffered a malfunction and could travel no faster than 45 or 50 mph — in a pouring rain — all the way to Bartlesville.
There were times when, going up a hill, the bus only went 15 mph, Hillman said.
"I wonder when we are going to catch a break," he added.
Next up, the Lady Bruins (6-20) travel tonight to Claremore-Sequoyah. They are slated Tuesday to play their home finale, when Ponca City comes to town. Starting time is set for 7 p.m.
On Thursday, they wrap up the regular season by traveling to Broken Arrow.
Next week, Bartlesville will play its Class 6A regional tourney in Jenks, Hillman said.
Westmoore will Bartlesville's first-round opponent, he added.

Summer Slow-Down…
For the past 4 summers, or is it 5 now, its hard to keep up, but raiding in WoW seems to go up and down like a bell curve, up during the fall through spring, and down in the summer.
You would think that the majority of raiders would see the summer time as an opportune time to take on more time to raid the hardest encounters blizzard has thrown at them, but it seems like most raiders take this time for breaks not only from school and work, but WoW as well.
From having overflow of people and able to pick and choose your 25, to spamming general and trade channels for new recruits. You go out to most realm forums and it looks like a craigslist board. Almost every guild is recruting, and its not just healers or tanks, its dps too. All guilds seem to be hurting.
This begs the question though, with the arrival of 25 man raids, are we seeing too many guilds? Should some of the smaller guilds trying to start up now and pull members be more realistic and split up and let their members go to other guilds? But would that be a disservice in and of itself though to the members who started to get into these smaller guilds?
The fact is we can speculate about it all we want, but the moment school season starts up, most guilds will cut out their recruitment, they will have their members and everything will go back to normal. All we have to do is just sit back, take a deep breath and realize it will get better.
It just is a bad situation that when most people have time to play, they don't, but its good that they are spending time with friends and family.
But when in doubt feel free to blame the crappy summer movies that draw people away from the game

Cross Atlantic collaboration secures a sustainable future for the farming industry
Published: April 12, 2016Duchy College Stoke Climsland Corporate | event
A new website designed to promote sustainable farming in both America and the UK has officially gone live. Farm Health Online is a collaboration between Duchy College Rural Business School in the UK, and Animal Welfare Approved (AWA) and its parent A Greener World, both based in the United States.
Farm Health Online currently covers four main species: cattle, sheep, poultry and pigs. Each species has sections on 'Disease Management' and 'Health and Welfare.' A 'Veterinary Management' section also provides information on key and emerging issues, such as antibiotic resistance, health planning and vaccination. The content is fully referenced and reviewed by veterinarians in the U.S. and the UK.
Dr Stephen Roderick from the Rural Business School said: "We wanted to create a website that was easy to navigate, simple to use, but it needed to contain all the right information for members of the farming community. We hope this will empower farmers to look at their current practices and to develop their skills, ultimately becoming more sustainable."
The site has taken the latest agricultural research and turned into an accessible format and it concentrates on four key principles; the need for animals to have outdoor access, livestock integration with crop farming, forage based feeding, responsible use of veterinary medicines, and the use of breeds and breeding best suited to specific environmental conditions.
The U.S. suffers from a chronic shortage of independent veterinarians; just 17 percent of the 61,000 vets employed in the U.S. work in food-animal veterinary medicine, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Where there are vets, they often have very limited knowledge of managing species like poultry or pigs in pastured systems.
While online advice can never replace support from a qualified vet, Farm Health Online provides the necessary tools and resources to help bridge the current gap, and encourages the adoption of high-welfare, sustainable management practices while helping farmers have informed conversations with their vet about preventative management and alternative treatments.
Director of Communications and Outreach for Animal Welfare Approved, Emily Moose, added: "Every time we mention this project to farmers we get extremely positive feedback. There just isn't another resource like this out there. While there is significant momentum on the production side to move towards systems that don't rely on subtherapeutic antibiotics, there aren't a lot of practical resources to help farmers make the changes on the ground. We're thrilled to be able to address this need through Farm Health Online, and even more thrilled to be able to offer it for free to everyone.

Utilizing a considerable quantity of the black blood granted after previously conducting a Madness Fusion with the Black Clown, Crona fabricates a substantial and hollow cone that tapers into a single sharpened point, which is subsequently launched towards an adversary with tremendous velocity. Despite its center being entirely devoid of a single drop of blood, due to the hardening capabilities of the dark substance that it is constructed from, this "lance" still poses a significant threat to its intended target. This is aptly demonstrated in the ability's first appearance, where Feodor had to resort to purifying the attack under the weight of a crushing kick, in order to avoid being impaled.[1]

- Draft 1.1 for Consultation December 2002
- Draft 2.1 for Consultation: November 2003
- Draft 3.1 for Forest Testing: August 2010
- Draft 4.1 Forest Tested Draft National Standard for Certification of PlantationForest Management in New Zealand; September 2010
- Draft 5.1 Post Consultation Draft National Standard for Certification of Plantation Forset Management in New Zealand: December 2010
- Pre-Approved Version 5.2 National Standard for Certification of Plantation Forest Management in New Zealand; February 2011
- FSC-STD-NZL-01-2012 New Zealand plantations EN; September 2013
A copy of the Forest Test Report is at the following link: Forest Test Report
Next Anticipated: FSC Endorsed Version for implementation and compliance
Progress Update
The debate over percentage reserve area by Ecological District was resolved through a process that requires certificate holders to consider, and if appropriate include alternative initiatives that are related to the portion of their certified forest that is short on reserve area. This process dubbed the ecological equivalence process still requires 10% set-aside, by Ecological District or Region, but provides some alternative ecological equivalent options both within and outside the forest estate and Ecological Region.
As a result a motion to support the standard are agreed in the majority by the SDG without any sustained objected. The standard was submitted to FSC on February 28 for endorsement.

Book Blog: Gaze into Heaven
My friend Marlene has written a book that sounds very interesting. I have not had time to read it yet, but Marlene is a wonderful writer and this premise sounds interesting. This book is written from a Mormon perspective, informed by LDS beliefs about life after death, but I suspect it might be of interest to anyone interested in this topic.
From the cover blurb:
"Gaze Into Heaven is a carefully compiled collection of more than 50 near-death experiences that occurred during the early years of the Church. These documented accounts give fascinating glimpses into the Spirit World by those who have actually been there. Besides being filled with stories of insight and inspiration, Gaze Into Heaven has pertinent quotes from latter-day Prophets and other leaders, scriptures, and perceptive commentary. After reading this book, you will never think of life—or death—in the same way."
You can find out more about Marlene and her writing at: www.marlenebateman.info
The book is available at:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gaze-Into-Heaven-Near-Death-Experiences/dp/1462111270/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360955844&sr=8-1&keywords=gaze+into+heaven

In Psychopathy: An introduction to biological findings and their implications, Andrea L. Glenn and Adrian Raine rigorously and cleverly summarize a multitude of findings from studies of behavior, cognition, and brain functioning. Their quest is to identify the unmistakable characteristics of psychopathy through converging evidence from self-reports of behavioral and cognitive habits (to identify traits) and unique brain activity and structure (to identify neural abnormalities). This sort of 'qualitative meta-analysis' conducted separately in different fields and then scrutinized for congruities is augmented by some longitudinal data. The authors use the latter to offer a glimpse into the 'making of a psychopath' through their attempts to partial out the contributions of nature and nurture.
Let's begin by asking 'Who is a psychopath?', a question that is likely to be on readers' minds. Undeniably, news articles, biographies, documentaries, and fictional narratives (in movies, TV shows, and printed works) often detail more or less realistically the lives of individuals who have committed unspeakable deeds without much remorse. Thus, the word 'psychopathy' tends to suggest a shiver of horror for the felonies committed and a guilty, but unsatisfied curiosity for their source(s). The experience is similar to the one most laypersons face when accidentally spotting a crime scene. That is, they are shocked and repulsed by the sight of blood, lifeless corps and/or body parts; and, at the same time, they experience an odd interest in the crime, including the identity of the victims and perpetrators, the nature of the misdeed, and the circumstances that motivate it. Surprisingly, mainstream culture and professional diagnoses seem to agree on a set of defining characteristics, including not only dishonest and immoral conduct (e.g., parasitic lifestyle and delinquency), but also internal traits or dispositions (e.g., ability to manipulate and deceive others, lack of guilt, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, deficient empathy, failure to consider one's responsibility, and grandiose sense of self-worth) which are assumed to shape conduct. Yet, even accepted definitions of psychopathy can bring to the forefront key unresolved issues within the sciences that study human behavior and the mind/brain that produces it: First and foremost, do traits merely describe behavior or can they also predict it? If traits in adulthood are assumed to be stable internal dispositions whose expression (in the form of thoughts, emotions, and actions) is mostly unaffected by environmental input, traits can be expected to predict with reasonable accuracy an adult's behavior across multiple settings and circumstances. However, evidence exists that dispositions and environmental influences interact. Interactions can be conceptualized as instances of 'reciprocal determinism' (see Bandura, 2004), whereby environment, dispositions and behavior consistently influence each other, or as instances of environmental demands that can distort or even override initial dispositions (see Zimbardo, 2004). The authors' primary pursuit, which is the identification of patterns of personality traits, behavioral habits, and brain functioning and structure that can define psychopathy across a multitude of studies, leads them to give much less coverage to the examination of environmental influences (i.e., the power of the situation). Yet, such influences deserve a closer look as they may define scholars' view of the extent to which psychopathy is truly resistant to intervention.
Second, the authors recognize that evidence in studies of psychopathy is collected from diverse samples of participants whose comparability is often a debatable matter. Glenn and Raine address the issue of 'noise' in available data by searching for converging cognitive, behavioral and brain evidence. Yet, information about traits is largely collected through self-reports (i.e., a variety of inventories, scales, and structured interviews) whose biases may introduce additional undesirable 'noise' in the data. As per the authors' review of literature devoted to the identification of patterns of personality and behavioral traits that can define psychopathy and its subtypes, corroborating neurobiological evidence is not unambiguous or even consistently uniform. Although the authors appear to believe that distinctive neurobiological patterns exist corroborating the claim that specific traits can uniquely identify individuals who are psychopaths, variability from study to study is not negligible. Glenn and Raine address this issue by introducing the notion of specific subtypes of psychopathy (e.g., primary versus secondary psychopath, and successful psychopaths). Yet, they also tacitly acknowledge that the diversity of samples of participants used in behavioral and neurobiological studies combined with researchers' reliance on self-report measures of psychopathology may introduce 'noise' in available data which remains at the present time difficult to remove.
Thirdly, even reliable evidence of neurobiological anomalies in the structure and functioning of the brain of individuals labeled as psychopaths is generally difficult to interpret. Regarding anomalies associated with most types of psychopathology, structural and/or functional abnormalities may be the cause, the effect, or merely coexist with a given psychopathology. Of course, also unclear is the extent to which specific anomalies are linked to specific patterns of conduct, affect, and cognition.
Notwithstanding methodological and theoretical issues, the reader can be quite satisfied with the comprehensive review of traits allegedly defining psychopathy that have been collected from a variety of inventories and scales and that the authors summarize and attempt to connect to neurobiological evidence. Overall, 'Psychopathy: An introduction to biological findings and their implications' outlines the need for more research that can address some of the unresolved issues related to mental health professionals' study and understanding of this form of psychopathology, its sources, and its (bleak) prognosis. Methodological issues encompass the criteria for selection of participants, the utility of the variety of scales used, and researchers' reliance on data-gathering procedures other than self-reports. Theoretical issues may entail a deeper understanding of the interplay of genetic and environmental influences through longitudinal studies involving not only large numbers of participants, but also control groups of comparable individuals. Notwithstanding the quality of available evidence and the questions it raises, the book can be appreciated by students who want to be introduced to one of the domains of cognitive neuroscience that is rather complex and in the process of restructuring itself into not only a legitimate field of study, but also one that is independent from criminology. The book can also be an interesting and useful read for established researchers who want to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a domain before considering it as a field of study. All in all, the text is a good and valuable read which is difficult to put down.

Sarajevo int'l airport welcomes millionth passenger in 2018
Sarajevo International Airport (SIA) welcomed on Wednesday its one millionth passenger in 2018, registering a new annual record in its history.
"This is an important day for Sarajevo International Airport, given that, for the first time in its history a record one million passengers were served in one year," SIA's announcement said.
This represents a 9 percent growth year-on-year. In addition, SIA has hit a record by handling nearly 12,000 flights and more than 2 million kilograms of cargo goods in one year.
Aida Birno, the one millionth passenger, said she was a frequent traveler and that she was surprised by the award.
"I travel often for business to Istanbul. I used to read about similar awards in the newspapers, and it was always pretty unreal. However, it is also a nice feeling to be the one millionth traveler," Birno told reporters after being rewarded with a free return ticket from Sarajevo to Istanbul.
Armin Kajmakovic, SIA director, said this was an important record for the airport.
For the third year in a row, SIA has registered a record number of passengers. At the beginning of Dec. 2016, more than 800,000 passengers were registered; in 2017, more than 900,000 passengers; and this year more than one million passengers, Xinhua reports.

How to Copy Anna Wintour's Style
October 29, 2014 | Fashion | No Comments|
If there's one woman in the world who knows fashion like the back of her hand, it's Anna Wintour. With countless years of experience in the fashion industry, especially as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, one of the most, if not actually the most, influential magazine in the industry, it's no wonder that she's always in the know of what's hot and what's not when it comes to trends in fashion. Despite that, Anna has been able to create her own style and maintain her own level of chic-ness. If you love Anna Wintour's style as much as we do, check out these tips on how to get it.
- HEAD TO TOE BLACK IS A NO-NO – yes, it's very flattering and slimming on most people but if you're Anna Wintour, wearing an outfit that's black from head to toe is not an option. Anna is strict about having at least a little bit of color in every outfit, be it for her or for the models in the magazine, so a monochromatic black ensemble is just unacceptable, even if it is considered chic and sophisticated by lots of other people.
- STICK TO SKIRTS AND DRESSES – I personally admire women who can wear skirts and dresses all day every day and Anna is one of the few who can do just that, and with amazing style and class too! If you take the time to look at Anna's every outfit from interviews, red carpet appearances, fashion shows and other events, you'll notice that she rarely wears pants or suits.
- PICK CLASSIC SILHOUETTES – another must in copying Anna Wintour's style is to pick out clothes that feature classic silhouettes. Anna rarely goes for a very structured piece. Neither does she always opt for something super dramatic. Instead, she goes for classic silhouettes like A-lines and shift dresses and accessorizes to make it look dressier.
- ALWAYS WEAR HEELS – even if it's not a sky-high pair and just kitten heels. Heels are always a part of Anna's every outfit, be it casual, street style, or dressy and fancy. Heels never fail to add that air of sophistication and gracefulness to any look which must be why Anna never wears flats (at least never when she's being photographed) and sticks to heels instead.
- PLAY WITH DETAILS – if there's one word one can never associate with Anna Wintour's style, it is the word 'boring'. You'll never catch Anna Wintour wearing something dull or drudging. She's always playing with the details of her outfit, mixing and matching different colors, prints, patterns and textures and you better be doing the same if you're going for her style.
- ACCESSORIZE – the necklaces, the sunglasses – all those are part of Anna Wintour's signature style. We all know that accessories are essential for pulling your outfit together and Anna just proves that accessories can make or break an outfit.

Zones of Control, abbreviated as ZOC, is a game concept which prevents you moving freely in zones controlled (or partially controlled) by enemy forces.
The general rule is that a land unit which is adjacent to an enemy occupied square cannot move directly to another square which is also adjacent to an enemy occupied square. Here an enemy occupied square means a land square with an enemy unit on it. Adjacency means any of the eight squares surrounding a unit.
In the following special cases ZOC does not apply:
- A unit moving directly into or out of a city.
- A unit moving onto a square occupied by a friendly unit.
- A unit moving from an ocean square (disembarking from a boat).
- A unit type which explicitly ignores ZOC, eg Diplomats and Spies.
- Only land units are restricted by ZOC.
- Non-land units can impose ZOC (that is, count as enemy occupied squares), but only if they are on a land square. So effectively sea units cannot impose ZOC (unless they are in a city), and air units (including helicopters) do not impose ZOC if they are over ocean squares.
- ZOC does not restrict unit attacks, only movement.
- An enemy city counts as an enemy occupied square if there are any units inside the city, but not if the city is empty. This is the same rule as for any other square).
- Moving from an ocean square is a special case; moving _to_ an ocean square (moving back onto a boat) is also permitted, by the special case of moving onto a friendly unit (the boat).
You can infiltrate enemy zones by first moving in a Diplomat (or some other unit which ignores ZOC), and then moving regular units onto the square now occupied by the Diplomat. By repeating this process (and optionally leaving some units behind to keep squares occupied), you can make a path through enemy territory.
These rules differ slightly from previous versions of Freeciv (release 1.8.0 and before) in the following ways:
- Enemy cities with no units in them no longer impose ZOC.
- The special case for land units disembarking is new.

link has been updated thank you for reporting this
Welcome fellow community members, I'm here to update everyone about the status of dynasty network. Since everyone does consider this as a dead project or something that won't be released. This is not the case, i'm putting all my available time into this project and we had a pretty messed up year behind us. Several developers joined us and left us which leaded in a total conversion of the theme. We're not longer making usage of the integraded MTA GUI, we've successfully managed to create everything with HTML / Javascript to create the closest encouter towards perfection within Multi Theft Auto. This revolution in the UI framework will give the RPG category a boost and will eventually attract a larger public within MTA. So expect great things to come within this month, just keep in mind that i'm working on this myself without any help regarding the scripting part so please don't come up with questions regqrding the release date since this hasn't be set yet. Cheers, Serenity
Well as far as i know i didn't even use SAES resources, You're the one that is having that reputation mate.
First of all never worked with Infinity on Dynasty Network. I've Always worked on it alone and i'm not talking about the ingame things i'm talking more about the way of coloring the text etc. Never said you copied anything ingame only the layout of the forum post is nearly the same ... And i've never used any community scripts within this gamemode. It's such a shame that you claim that Dynasty Network is using community resources or leaked RPG scripts. If you check out the scripts we already show on the forums you can literally see nothing has been copied and since this is a gamemode build up from scratch you won't even find any copied script. So beside the fact you are posting this type of nonsense take the time to actually get your facts right before pointing a finger towards any server.
Well based on what i did saw on the post itself i can assure you it does look familiar to Dynasty Network. But if we look into the server itself Dynasty Network is literally a step higher than what they currently show. Just make sure you don't copy anything from Dynasty Network so this won't end up in an argument.

BINH PHUOC (VNS) — The General Hospital in the southern Binh Phuoc Province saved the life of a child after he consumed a chemical from a bottle.
Ten-year-old Tran Minh Hoang mistook the chemical, which is used to enhance the growth of rubber trees, for water and drank it.
He was hospitalised on Monday with the symptoms of vomiting, pale face and serious digestive trouble.
After making their diagnosis, doctors took emergency action to save the child. He was reported to be out of danger after several hours.
A family member of the boy said the child had followed his father, who was spraying chemicals on rubber trees in Dong Phu's District's Tan Lap Commune.
Hoang was very thirsty and drank the chemical from a bottle, while his father was at work and did not see him.
The doctors said Hoang was in stable condition and still in hospital for further treatment to avoid complications. — VNS

Steven Avery, the subject for Netflix's hit show Making A Murder, has never doubted his own innocence in the gruesome murder of Teresa Halbach, but in a recent interview, his son, Steven Jr., doesn't share his father's confidence.
Radar Online states that in an interview with Crime Watch Daily, the guilty murderer's son claims that he has "no idea" if his father was wrongfully convicted or whether he in fact did viciously rape, murder, and dismember the 25-year-old Auto Trader photographer in 2005.
"Only one person can answer that, and that would be Teresa Halbach… But she can't answer that no more."
However, Steven Avery's other son, Bill Avery, is more confident that his father is, in fact, innocent, reports the Wrap.
"No, I don't think he did," Bill Avery said in the interview, with his brother, Steven, adding that, "The only thing I know was the entire case was very shady. It's clear that there was corruption," Steven Jr. argues. "Him and Brendan deserve a fair trial. That's my take on it. If they're guilty, let them sit. But if they're free, get them out. It's been ten years now. They've wasted going on 30 years of his life if he's innocent."
As fans of Making a Murderer are well aware, Steven Avery Sr.'s lawyers argued during the trial that members of the local police department framed him amid a multi-million-dollar lawsuit that Steven Avery filed against the police department for serving 18 years in prison for a rape he never committed.
Because their dad has served so many years in prison, his sons barely know him, states Bill Avery, according to Radar Online.
"I see him as a complete stranger," Bill admits in the interview. "I know that he's my father, but I grew up without a father for so long that it just kind of feels like I don't have [one]." As for Steven Jr., he admits that he almost changed his last name when he got married, but in the end decided to keep the name Avery.
Part of the reason for the name change was due to the fact that so much of the family drama has been aired on TV. "It sucks having everything out in the open like that. At the same point, it's good because a lot of people see a little bit of a bigger picture," Steven Avery Jr. said.
Despite whatever people have said concerning this case or the Avery family, the convicted felon's new appointed attorney, Kathleen Zellner, believes his claim of innocence.
According to Us Weekly, on January 29, Steven Sr., now 53, released a handwritten note through his attorney aimed toward his supporters. "I want every forensic test possible done b/c I am innocent," his note said. Us Weekly also reports that during Dateline special Kathleen Zeller revealed that she believes Avery could be exonerated based on new evidence.
"We will do everything necessary that is forensically available," she said during the special, adding that Steven Avery is feeling optimistic "now that he's aware that there's new testing that can be done."
While many, including Avery's new attorney, believe in his innocence, prosecutor Ken Kratz still holds by the sentencing handed down by the jury, believing that Avery actually targeted Halbach.
As new light is being shed on this case nearly everyday it seems, whether Steven Avery is guilty or not will eventually be discovered, as one can only hope. As for Steven, he will have to wait where he's been waiting for most of his life — behind bars.
Tell us! Do you think Steven Avery is guilty of killing Teresa Halbach or was he framed? Let us know in the comments and check out a clip of Steven Avery's twin sons discussing Making a Murderer and their father's innocence below.

The University of Michigan-Flint, in partnership with Longway Planetarium and Kettering University, is excited to announce the Curiosity Academy: a STEM-focused community club for girls.
The program will begin its first year in fall of 2014 and will be open to 7th and 8th grade girls living in Genesee County. Space is available for 20-30 girls and the program will run from October 20th to June 8th. Meetings will be held weekly on Mondays from 4-5:30pm. Applicants will be accepted from public, private, and charter schools, as well as from homeschool families. Acceptance to the program is based solely on interest and is open to students of all abilities and aptitudes. There is a program fee, although limited need-based scholarship funds are available.
The program aims to provide an opportunity to explore STEM concepts without the pressure of grades or standardized tests, and to encourage further studies in STEM fields. Curiosity Academy will promote a positive image of chemists and other scientists and demonstrate the strong role women play in advancing science by engaging the girls in exciting and meaningful activities.
The project's first-year scenario will have the girls working as employees of a personal care company who must create a new product. They will take different roles in research and development as they move from conception to production of their chosen product. Their activities will be grounded in biology, chemistry, computer science, and engineering as they work to achieve the perfect formulation and packaging. Towards the end of the project, they will learn about business, promotion, and design principles as they consider how they would market what they've made.
Curiosity Academy participants will be using university labs and equipment, working with professors and undergraduate students, and engaging with industry and community members throughout the project. Regular weekly meetings will be held in order for the girls to develop the necessary thought processes, safety, and hands-on skills required to accomplish their goals.
By promoting a positive image of chemists and other scientists, as well as demonstrating the strong role women play in advancing science and society, the Curiosity Academy hopes to make an impact on the lives and futures of all participants.
The Curiosity Academy is NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! Complete this FORM and mail to the Longway Planetarium (1310 E. Kearsley St., Flint, MI 48503) by October 8, 2014. Questions? Contact Monique Wilhelm of the UM-Flint Chemistry Department at email@example.com or 810-762-3275.

Lots of people have said it much better than I ever could, and in many different ways, but Batman vs Superman was a really, really, epically horrible movie.
I could talk at length about why this is the case, but for brevity's sake, I'll just offer reason #3182:
You know what the most unbelievable thing about Batman vs Superman is?
It's not that Superman's bulletproof or can shoot laser beams out of his eyes.
It's not the idea that Perry White is the editor-in-chief of a major newspaper but is sending Clark Kent to cover a local football team.
Those are nitpicky criticisms of poor writing or the absurdity of fantasy. I can suspend my disbelief about the laser beams.
It's the notion that the United States would convene a Senate hearing on the deaths of innocent civilians in a third world country in order to bring Superman to justice. American soldiers kill civilians all over the world without a second thought from the vast majority of Americans. Zack Snyder presents a righteous vision of America that would only be familiar to the most blindly patriotic Republicans, and doesn't exist in reality. It's a vision of an America that puts itself out into the world in order to do the right thing every time, and is always looking out for the little guy. In reality the United States does exactly what Superman does: drops into volatile situations it doesn't understand, throws its muscle around, protects a narrow version of American interests, and leaves without any concern for the chaos, destruction, and death it's left behind.

Horror Clips from Obscure: The Aftermath
When Obscure: The Aftermath hits stores on March 25 for the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2, fans of Mature-rated horror games will be privy to a blood-filled romp with revolting creatures created by a private school's maniac headmaster. Some students perished when the monsters went wild and others had the wherewithal to kill the headmaster. While things were quiet for a while, the kids who survived are now immersed in a fresh hell at their university in this survivor horror game obviously inspired by Silent Hill.
Game Trailers offers three long-ish snippets of video from the game, which is full of puzzles to solve. Obscure: The Aftermath
also has these flesh-colored, tentacled beasties that move fast and
kill faster. In the first video, Ignition Entertainment has added live
action to the game, which is kind of confusing; it's an experimental
mix of movie and game. But the game has no live action, and it's better
for it.

It's all fine and dandy having fancy super-thin displays that you can mount on the wall, but you've always got an absolute mess of cables to deal with. Even if you have just one HDMI cable running up there, you've still got to get power to it. If we can't do serious wireless power, at least HP's taking a step forward with its partnership with 3M. Its new all-in-one-type 18.5-incher needs just one cable for everything, including power.
It uses 3M's new One Wire technology, which is essentially power-over-ethernet. All you need is an ethernet cable for power and networking meaning one cable and plug will do you, if you connect the rest of you gubbins via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, I guess.
Unfortunately there's a catch, and it's a biggie in your hopes for the one-cable-to-rule-them-all computer for the home: it's just a thin client, which basically means you'll never actually buy it. It runs on an ARM processor and takes its computing power from a central server, just like in the good ol'days of the mainframe.
Still, it at least shows that we're making progress towards the holy grail of a single cable for everything (if wireless everything just isn't possible). I had hoped that Apple and Intel would shove power into Thunderbolt for that genuinely do-everything cable, but it looks like power-over-ethernet is the closest we're going to get. I just hope HP and co hurry up and get it into consumer-targeted stuff; a TV can't be far off a thin client, surely? [Dvice]

Abortion and Rape: Replying to the Fights for Abortion Legal rights
From the to start with installment with this four-section series we reviewed many misunderstandings for abortion liberties which may be considered appeals to pity. In the following paragraphs I am going to present and critique a lot more attracts pity, coupled with two other styles of case: interests threshold and advert hominem (actually, from the man or woman ).visit site Keep in mind, not all defender of abortion liberties contains to everyone or any of the fights supplied in this post. Even so the reality tends to be that a huge vast majority do fight for around examples of these reasons. Because of this, these particular critique ought to establish helpful to the ones interested in producing reasoned the right answers, other than inflamed rhetoric, in to the fights insert forth because of the abortion legal rights motions.
A woman who results in being expecting as a result of an act of often rape or incest is definitely the casualty of your terribly violent and morally reprehensible crime. Nevertheless being pregnant because of the either sexual assault or incest is amazingly exceptional, 1 there is absolutely no gaining all around the belief that pregnancy does take place in some instances. Bioethicist Andrew Varga summarizes the case from rape and incest during the following way:
It is really argued that within these tragic conditions the favorable importance of the thought physical health of the women who turns into currently pregnant resulting from sexual assault or incest can most effective be safe-guarded by abortion. Additionally it is revealed that a motherhood as a result of rape or incest is the consequence of a serious injustice and that the target really should not be required to handle the unborn child to viability. This can have reminding her for nine several months from the abuse entirely commited against her and would just raise her mental anguish. It really is reasoned that the cost of the girl s mental health and wellbeing is higher than the value of the unborn infant. Additionally, it is actually managed the fact that fetus is really an aggressor contrary to the girl s strength and personal life; it can be only just and morally defensible to repel an aggressor even by eliminating him in the event it is the best way to protect own and human valuations. It happens to be concluded, then, that abortion is warranted in these cases. 2
Irrespective of its forceful tempt our sympathies, there are various complications with this debate. Initial, it is not strongly related to the situation for abortion at will, the job defended because of the famous professional-idea action. This posture states in the usa a partner offers a perfect to obtain an abortion at all she wants throughout the whole nine several months of childbearing, may it be for sex-selection, comfort and ease, or rape. 3 To argue for abortion at will out of the difficult lawsuits of sexual assault and incest is like wishing to fight for any reduction of targeted visitors principles from the indisputable fact that one may need to violate some in unusual issues, just like when a single s partner or toddler needs to be rushed to your healthcare facility. Showing an exemption fails to create a all round rule of thumb. Next, since conception will not happen promptly sticking to sexual activity, being pregnant is usually eliminated in all rape scenarios if ever the rape prey receives urgent medical therapy by using every one of the males semen pulled from her uterus. 4 Next, the unborn enterprise is not actually an aggressor when its profile fails to endanger its mommy s everyday living (as with regards to a tubal carrying a child). This is the rapist who seems to be the aggressor. The unborn body is as considerably an innocent injured person as the new mother. Consequently, abortion cannot be validated in the basis that this unborn is actually an aggressor. 4th, this case begs the question by assuming the fact that the unborn is not actually properly human. For generally if the unborn is totally human, then we needs to consider the reducing of this lovely lady s brain enduring contrary to the perfect-to-lifetime of an harmless individual. And homicide of some other is never validated to help remedy certainly one of psychological and mental pain. Even though this type of judgment is actually anguishing, we have to remember the exact same naive unborn body how the position-oriented person will abort to avoid disturbance which has a profession promotional is biologically and morally indistinguishable coming from the unborn organization that comes from an action of sexual assault or incest. And also since abortion for career improvement should not be warranted if the unborn body is completely man, abortion can not be validated while in the examples of sexual assault and incest. Both in examples abortion contributes to the demise of any harmless man daily life. As Doctor. Bernard Nathanson has created, The unfavorable maternity moves biologically coming from the lovemaking respond, however not morally from that. 5 Consequently, this case, just like the types now we have definitely dealt with in this particular collection, is a winner only if the unborn are certainly not totally our. Some guru-selection supporters report that the seasoned professional-lifer is lacking in concern, for the reason that pro-lifer s placement on sexual assault and incest makes a lady to transport her newborn alongside her will. Not much may be even further with the actual facts. This is the rapist that has currently forced this lovely lady to transport children, not the expert-lifer. The professional-existence endorse only truly wants to avert one other innocent human being (the unborn body) from being the sorry victim from a brutal and morally reprehensible behave (abortion), for a couple wrongs do not make a appropriate. As theologian and ethicist Dr. Michael Bauman has seen: A child is not going to drop its directly to daily life simply because its dad or its new mother would have been a sexual felony or even a deviant. 6 In addition, the anguish and psychic battling caused by rape and incest may be dealt with pretty systematically. Professor Stephen Krason indicates that emotional research has shown that, when due to the accurate aid, most expecting sexual assault affected individuals considerably adjustment their behaviours concerning unborn baby from a specific thing repulsive to someone that is innocent and distinctly rewarding. 7 The expert-everyday living endorse considers that assist really should be offered to the sexual assault target so it will be as elementary as feasible for her to stop her child for adoption, if she hopes. Managing the female expectant from rape, then, could be an potential for us both of those as those people and modern culture to produce genuine understanding and nonprofit. Might it be not improved to try and develop these virtues than to countenance an ethic of devastation as the resolution? 8
