The Sabian Legacy Ride delivers an articulate, dark, trashy sound.
The light, crashable Sabian Legacy Ride Cymbal delivers stick definition, wash, and darkness with an unlathed 'control band' limiting tonal spread.
With its innovative "Tone Texture" sound, Legacy was created in collaboration with Dave Weckl, and joins the award-winning HHX Evolution as the legendary young drummer's choice of cymbal sound. Legacy is a deeper, darker contrast to the brighter sound of Evolution.
Weckl, who plays Legacy on their own or mixes them with Evolution models, said "Legacy is the darker side of my sound. These cymbals are vibrant, trashy and beautiful... all at once. 'Tone Texture' gives these cymbals a great deal of dark, musical color that encompasses the full tonal spectrum but digs way down deep, for a broader, more complex tonal personality. The Legacy Ride has great articulation over a dark cushion of sound.... The 'tone texture' of these cymbals makes Legacy a compelling consideration for any drummer looking for sounds that offer a new richness to their playing."
Legacy cymbals are individually handcrafted from Sabian B20 'cast' bronze. They are available exclusively in Natural Finish, and are quality-protected by a special Sabian 2-Year warranty.
Traditional depth and color meet modern clarity and articulation.

Activists for and against Catalonia's bid for independence are working overtime to get their message out ahead of Thursday's deadline from Spain.
CGTN'S Stephanie Freid reports on the historic divide over Catalonia's future.
Elena, who works with one of the country's leading independence movements, said Spain's central government heightened the strain Monday night by arresting her group's leader on charges of sedition.
"To put them in jail, that's something I that I thought I would never see [in] Europe," said Elena Jimenez Botias, an International Liaison for the Omnium Cultural Group.
Josep Lago, an activist with a 20,000-member pro-unity group called Societat Civil Catalana, is also taken aback by Catalonia's recent developments
"I've never experienced anything like this," he said. "The fact that there's talk of invoking Article 155 proves the exceptional time we're living in, even for someone in their 80's or 90's. The tension and climate we're seeing now is unprecedented."
Article 155 of Spain's constitution calls for autonomous entities like Catalonia to fulfill state obligations or be stripped of power.
If Catalonia's regional leader returns a "yes to independence" answer to Spain's central government on Thursday, Article 155 may be invoked for the first time in Spanish history.
"What's the other option? Not to—to repress, and to repress population, its own citizens," Botias said. "To repress us, to put us in jail. To do what? It's full of families and peaceful citizens."
But Josep says pro-independence activists aren't always peaceful.
"When we try to hold meetings, they bar us from entering our conference rooms," he said. "We put up banners and they tear them down. They spray smear campaign graffiti against us on campus."
One fear is overflow, Josep explained.
"Actions taken against us on campuses could spill over onto the streets if activists Article 155 is invoked and activists fight back."
If violence erupts, Spain's government will likely dispatch its national police police force to Catalonia's streets.

|I like the style...don't you?
The 1st one will be for SHINee.... I've heard a couple of songs but never really knew who they were or what their songs mean (shame...I know but as I said before...i´m not a huge fan) until recently (July) when I listened to the song LUCIFER...it's so catchy I can listen to it all day O_o has this ever happend to you???? I hate it because I find myself singing this song in my head all day :s even when I'm talking with other people.... lol
Ok, so SHINee is a contemporary R&B South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2008, their debut was on May 25th 2008 with their promotional single, "Noonan Neomu Yeppeo (Replay)"(weird..is just the song i'm listening RIGHT NOW...). "Older Girl, You're So Pretty (Replay)". Since their debut, Shinee has won numerous awards. They have also starred in their own reality show based on their song, "Noona Neomu Yeppeo (Replay)". The show ran from August 8, 2008 to October 16, 2008, with a total of twelve episodes. Each episode featured the band members going on a date with an older woman, after which she would chose
one member for a solo date.
Shinee is considered to be a fashion icon having started the "Shinee Trend".Shinee is known for their fashion style, created by designer Ha Sang Baek, which features high-top sneakers, skinny jeans and colorful sweaters. Their style has created a fashion trend amongst students which the media dubbed the "Shinee Trend".
|*Lee Jinki, better known by his stage name Onew*
|*Kim Jonghyun, commonly known as Jonghyun*
|*Choi Minho, commonly known as Minho*
|*Kim Kibum, better known by his stage name Key*
|*Lee Taemin, commonly known as Taemin*
On May 23, the group's first mini-album, Replay was released and debuted at #10 on the Korean music charts and peaked at #8, selling 17,957 copies in the first half of 2008.
Shinee released their full debut album "The Shinee World" on August 28, 2008, the first single released from the album was "Sanso Gateun Neo (Love Like Oxygen)" On October 30th 2008 they released The Shinee World as a repackaged album under the name Amigo. Included on the album were three new songs: "Forever or Never", a remix of "Sa. Gye. Han (Love Should Go On)" and the promotional single "A.Mi.Go (Amigo)" "A.Mi.Go" is a shortened version of the Korean phrase "Areumdaun Minyeorueljoahamyeon Gosaenghanda"
(Heart Aches When You Fall In Love With a Beauty), and I always thought AMIGO (Friend in spanish) was because of friendship or something like that hahahaha.
The second full length album entitled Lucifer was released on July 19, 2010 in South Korea. The music video promoting Lucifer was released the next day on July 20, 2010.
If you haven't heard this song, what are you waiting for?? It's not a "deep" song with meaningfull lyrics,,,,it's just Catchy, sort of like "Ops! I did it again" back in the days hehe.
Here's some of Lucifer's translation
Even if I try to avoid you, I can't find a place to hide
I'm trapped by you, who I can't even deny
If it was love, if you really loved me, don't do this to me
Her whisper is the Lucifer *If you tie me down and trap me
Then the love is also tied down
The future is also tied down
It can't grow anymore
Freely empty yourself and look at me
I'll fill you only, I'll completely fill you only
Your undeniable spell is the Lucifer
Your undeniable magic is the Lucifer
When I approach you
With your angelic face
Say the reason you live is for me
Say it
When I first saw you, I stopped for a short time
As if someone was tightly seizing my heart, not letting it go (Still)
You took all, all, all, all, all, all of my heart just like that
You make my heart burn out when you're not here
Anyways,,,,If there's another Kpop band that you think Is worth listening let me know and maybe that could be the next post!

Personal Support Worker Training in Ontario
Providing support for elderly people living in long term care homes and others who require assistance in daily life in diverse settings are high-demand occupations with increasingly demanding responsibilities as demographics, policy frameworks and economies shift. Indeed, long term care is one of Canada's fastest growing industries with ongoing worker shortages, even in this period of fragile economic recovery. Working as a personal support worker (PSW) in Ontario does not necessarily require formal training or examination; however, there are an array of PSW training programs offered in private colleges, public colleges, school boards, in-service training and online training. In 2013 the Ontario government announced a plan to develop a common educational standard for PSW training programs. While this standard may address the variability in available educational options, it remains to be seen how this shift will impact working PSWs, current students, and employers. This project encompasses a qualitative, intersectional analysis of the emerging educational standard for PSWs.
The project aims to answer the question: what are the implications of establishing a common education standard for PSW training in Ontario? The project has three key objectives:
- To document the process and goals of developing a common educational standard for PSWs
- To identify possible emerging issues and implications of the educational standardization
- To use theoretically-informed analysis to evaluate whether the standard will effectively reflect and address complex social, human resources, and other issues of contemporary long-term care settings.
This research is supported with funding from the Government of Ontario through the Bruyère Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long Term Care.

(Poem #1464) From Catullus V
The sun may set and rise, But we, contrariwise, Sleep, after our short light, One everlasting night.
Typically, Raleigh seizes upon the most fatalistic aspect of Catullus' love song, and converts it into an epigram that is no less poignant for being less than staggeringly original.

Topeka, KS (LifeNews.com) -- There is no doubt about pro-life factors influencing the 9 percent drop in abortions for the state of Kansas in 2009. The Vitae Foundation believes it also had an influence in the drop in abortions during the last quarter of 2009.
Vitae ran 105 billboards directing pregnant women to five different pregnancy centers in the greater Kansas City area offering free help. The majority of the billboards were in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties. They ran from October through January, 2010.
"Vitae worked closely with area pregnancy help centers, business, civic and church communities to get pregnant women the help they need," Anne Carmichael, Vitae's Vice President, stated. "We knew it was going to be a tremendous campaign when women were canceling their abortion appointments and choosing life!" Full story.

By Poly
It now looks as if the expected Dollar DCL has played out with the recent (Monday) Day 27 Low. There was some positive (in relative term) news out of Europe with the announcement of yet another Greek bailout adjustment that the market was expecting to be bullish for the Euro.
Instead it was the Euro that fell upon the announcement, a clear indication that the news had already been bought the previous session. These "sell the news" events are often found during key Cycle (pivots) lows.
The rise in the early portion of this now 3rd Daily Cycle has provided some considerable head-winds for risk markets. As I had outlined within the weekend report, a DCL was expected, but what to expect out of the coming Daily Cycle is still a relative mystery. Odds favor that we see around 7-10 days of strength out of the Cycle and at least a meaningful effort to get back up towards the prior Cycle High of 81.45.
But I have a sneaking suspicion that the Investor Cycle is tiring and could well have topped with the prior Daily Cycle. This Investor Cycle is now 11 weeks in and passing its typical half way mark, but yet it has failed to make any significant gains. Ordinarily we could simply excuse any Investor Cycle for being flat, but in this case the Investor Cycle happens to fall in the timing band where a significant 3 Year Cycle Top may occur. So in isolation this Cycle may be simply "catching its breath", but from the dominant Cycle perspective, it is signaling that a significant decline is probably unfolding. The proof will be in this coming 3rd Daily Cycle because beyond this Daily Cycle it will be just too late for the Dollar to mount any type of surge.
As it appears the Dollar (chart above) will not make new IC highs (above July 2012 high) it will form its first lower Investor Cycle high of this 3 year Cycle. That in itself is not "an endgame", but if the coming Dollar ICL (in 6-12 weeks' time) falls below the September low (78.60), that will spell big trouble. At that point the 3 Year Cycle would have failed and we will have the first set of lower highs and lower lows. That type of action is what defines a Cycle in decline.

Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon and ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, speaks during a hearing with Robert Lighthizer, U.S. trade representative, not pictured, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, March 12, 2019.
The alleged college admissions cheating scam unveiled earlier this week has already triggered at least one call to change the law regarding some donations.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said Wednesday that he will introduce a bill stripping tax benefits for donations made to universities and colleges before or during the enrollment of children of the donor's family.
The announcement comes after federal prosecutors in Boston charged 50 people in an alleged $25 million scam in which wealthy parents allegedly paid bribes to get their children into elite U.S. colleges.
Wyden's measure, however, would target legal donations for buildings or scholarships on campus, and purchases of sports tickets. The Democrat, the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, said the federal government is perpetuating an unfair admissions system by awarding tax benefits to wealthy American donors.
"Yesterday's headlines about the wealthiest Americans buying access to our elite colleges and universities is just a new version of an old story," he said in a Wednesday statement that referred to Tuesday's news. "While the prosecutor attempted to distinguish these crimes from payoffs in the form of buildings or stadiums to secure access for the undeserving, it is all part of the same corrupt system."
He added: "Middle-class families don't have access to this back door for their children. If the wealthy want to grease the skids, they shouldn't be able to do so at the expense of American taxpayers."
The IRS allows people to claim tax deductions when donating to nonprofit colleges and universities.
Wealthy parents charged in Tuesday's indictment allegedly made bribe payments under the guise of charitable donations by wiring money to William "Rick" Singer's nonprofit the Key Worldwide Foundation. Federal prosecutors allege parents filed personal tax returns that reported the payments as donations to KWF, which would allow them to receive tax deductions.
According to the indictment, a senior official at the University of Southern California allegedly funneled bribe money directly into a university account, while some payments allegedly were made toward hired test proctors that corrected students' exam answers and coaches of colleges and universities.
Wyden's spokesperson told CNBC that the senator has no more details to disclose until the bill is introduced.
The Trump administration also condemned the scam.
"Every student deserves to be considered on their individual merits when applying to college and it's disgraceful to see anyone breaking the law to give their children an advantage over others," Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said. "The department is looking closely at this issue and working to determine if any of our regulations have been violated."

The weather is getting nicer and nicer and now is the time to take a nature walk and use the blooming flowers to increase your children's French vocabulary. If you haven't studied French in a long time or if you are learning French with your children, you can take a little pocket dictionary with you on your walk. This way if they point to something and ask you how you say it in French, you'll be prepared.
Here are some useful French Springtime vocabulary words:
Spring – le printemps
flower – la fleur
grass – l'herbe
tree – l'arbre
butterfly – le papillon
Smell! – Sens!
Look! – Regarde!

Community Comms Collective gets backing to boost community sector
6 September 2017
A rising demand for skilled volunteering – by potential volunteers and recipient organisations – is behind the steady growth of the Community Comms Collective over the last four years, say its founders.
The collective, which mobilises communications professionals to volunteer their skills, today announced it had secured the backing of Cabix Communications and JacksonStone & Partners. The sponsorship deal will cover the ongoing running costs of the organisation and enable it to further develop its volunteer services.
Co-founder and trustee Gail Marshall says Cabix and JacksonStone have supported the collective since it established in 2013, funding its annual volunteer events.
"Cabix and JacksonStone have been valuable supporters of the Community Comms Collective from the get-go, so it's great to move into this financial partnership with them.
"Given we are 100 percent volunteer led and operated, our costs are low. But we still have some expenses and having sponsors means we can focus on our services rather than on securing funding to support our operation," says Gail.
The Community Comms Collective currently operates in Wellington and Auckland, providing a matchmaking service between the communications and community sectors. It also offers a free nationwide website usability service, runs free workshops for not-for-profits and provides free resources on its website www.communitycomms.org.nz. In the 2016/2017 year, it matched around 100 of its 250 volunteers with community organisations and ran five free workshops, injecting at least $250,000 worth of professional services into the economy.
Jackson Stone is an executive search and recruitment consultancy that works extensively across senior communications roles. Director Annabel McCallum says it was an easy decision to support the collective when it was first established, and has been an even easier decision to renew its support every year since then.
"We see the value of the collective's work from three perspectives. Through the lens of the extensive work we also do in the not-for-profit sector, and through the eyes of many of our communications clients and candidates who are volunteers for the collective. The not-for-profits benefit from the volunteers' expertise, and the volunteers benefit in terms of enhancing their skills and experience and being able to show on their CVs that they have a social conscience," Annabel says.
Cabix Communications offers the full spectrum of communications support, specialising in media relations and media training. Director Gina Jewell, a collective volunteer herself, says communication professionals contribute a valuable skill-set in today's fast-paced, information-laden world, be it in a paid or a voluntary role.
"Helping people upskill is a large part of what we do at Cabix. We see it as a natural fit to support the Community Comms Collective to enable those in our industry to help others," Gina said.
Co-founder and trustee Sue McCabe says the two companies' support highlighted the calibre of the collective's volunteers, the giving nature of the communications industry and the collective's track record.
"We never cease to be amazed at how willingly our volunteers say yes when offered a chance to use their skills to help a community organisation. However, given the proven benefits of volunteering on the person who gives their time – including reporting being happier – it shouldn't be surprising."

wah? update already? :D downloading
After a long break due to a breakdown of the original team, we are merging the Purgation of Kaurava and Firestorm over Kaurava modifications. This modification is the result of that merge and will STILL be Firestorm over Kaurava.
This is a fairly recent internal build of the mod. Uploaded here cause some people are having trouble with the megaupload link, however it still requires the password only obtained by registering in FoK Forums.
This is a fairly recent internal build of the mod. Uploaded here cause some people are having trouble with the megaupload link, however it still requires the password only obtained by registering in FoK Forums.
This release candidate is pretty much the whole deal but it still lacks some textures and the Advanced AI, the aim of this pre-release is to reward our loyal fans as well as get their help to root out any hidden bug for having a completely bug free Final Release of FoK DC.
Password and installation instructions
wah? update already? :D downloading
Sorry if this is newbish, im new to the forum. I have gotten the download but I need the password, where can I get it?
register with the home forums of the creators of this fantastic mod and then go onto them it will be on there
see there : Fok.dow-mods.com I don't understand why people are just f***ing forcing us to join the forum if we don't want.
To avoid excessive lechers, and to give more life to this project, probably. Well, at least when this project was active.
only players make the project alive.
This stupid password is just crap and useless
Especially seeing as they have moved on to soulstorm I believe.
sweet! this is just in time to keep me entertained on my trip!
This the DC one right? for Final?
I believe so, although I rather wish they added more weapons to the buildings now that you can garrison more troops.
Its not quite complete but we figured you might enjoy it.
I played the new Update a lot already and I just love it!
Thank you so much FoK modding gods! :)
Anyone else having problems updating to 1.2?
We're so sorry to inconvenience you and try to draw some new blood into the community :P. It takes all of 5 minutes if that to register and its a great way to meet fellow minded FoK players. In the end is much more of an advantage than disadvantage ;). Plus you get to play an updated RC with tons of cool new stuff :).
Look, i cant get my old account working for the forums and it wont give me my password information, apparently it cant find my user name or email info yet there are both apparently in use...help please.
I'm just gonna register to get the password. I don't care for talking to people. People are ********.
Where do you find the password?
INCREADIBLY Irritating that I can't register with a GMAIL address. You have 3 different Spam/bot filters to jump thru yet you still block ALL GMAIL accounts. TARDS
So! Where should i register to get this? I don't get it...
By the way: This mod looks great! (At least in the pictures i saw)
Hm... I need to register on the "creators forum"? Where can i find that?
Greetings from Hungary! (Oh! And sorry because my english-I'm not very good at it, but i hope you understand what i want to say...)
We do.
Love you guys! Keep it up!
so how i can get password?
jeee you might trying reading first.
i did what it told me and i still havent recieved the password
Now I find where to register, to get the code, but i simply can not register because of this: "This email domain is used by spammers on a regular basis." I have tried my e-mail adress, and even my brothers... Why don't you just write the "damn" password right here? Or tell me how can i get the code! ... please :)
I had the same problem how did you get around it?
Maybe your e-mail "thing" is not good. For example: I can not register with my "gmail" client, but aftert a while, i tried my fatherts "dpg" e-mail client, and that workd. So: Try a different e-mail client...
Anyway the mod is great!
Finally! I get the code! I don't know why, but the official site do not like gmail client users...
any chance of getting this as a patch instead of the full download again? its just some people still have really slow connections and this takes a fair amount of time to dl
This is the same RC4530 that was available on megaupload a few weeks ago, i just uploaded it here since it has much more reach and some people couldnt Download it from Megaupload cause its blocked on their country...(blame politics and censors)
There is a link in the DL description that leads to our site so you can register and obtain the password :)
As for making it a patch....well RC4530 has so many changes that we would waste our time making it a patch for 3.5, besides now Maps and everything come in a single pack unlike 3.5 which has maps on a separate DL.
Unable to register once I complete the registration process the site never mails my activation code. Therefore unable to logon nor unpack FOK 3.6
You get the activation code from the forums
Ahh another wonderful addition to the FoK series of mods and you guys are gods for having placed it here :D MU seems to always hate me with dls x.x
Yes, yes, yes...
Very good...
You guys rock.
is there a list of changes up someplace?
nope. too many to list em xD
why why why why i try to download it then it says find save cancel WHY!!!!!!!!
same happens here man :( ****
I hope I can use it on Soulstorm. Or the Soulstorm version is still not realased?
This version is still for DC. SS has a while to go yet.
guys beautiful work on the previous mods and go ahead and take all the time you need to make firestorm over kaurava amazing
does this update by any chance work with the campaign, because with the other ones the fortress battles crash.
campaign is not and won't be supported. too buggy
Can someone give me password to unpack this, i can't register on forum, because they are blocking gmail.
i would if i could send you a pm...
I have second email account i thought i deleted it, but i still have it, and was able to get the password. Anyway it's still stupid to password protect a mod.
Hey have some quistions for ya Mod!
1. does Fire Warriors use small swords when in melee?
2. can repair drones repair Battle suits?
3. can Pathfinders be upgraded with Personel Railguns?
4. can Tau get better or more Defenses?
thats just about that. hope to get some answers :)
will tyranids ever be added.
i think add tyranids is a great idea

Arsenal's pursuit of a striker this summer may be given a boost, with Karim Benzema's future at Real Madrid in doubt.
Arsenal were said to be keen on the French international last summer, but failed in a last-minute bid to prise him from Madrid. And while Benzema has been back to his best this season, it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will seek to extend his stay and whether the player himself will be keen on staying in Spain.
There can be little to no excuse for slip ups this summer from Arsenal, having no seen how detrimental a weak forward line can be to hopes of landing the Premier League title. And even though a striker looks set to arrive this summer, it is understandable that fans are clamouring for a big name considering the financial resources available to Arsene Wenger and the failed bids for Luis Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain last summer.

Four Nigerian brothers charged with fraud in the UK
Four Nigerian brothers, including 34-year-old former Super Eagles player, Efetobore Sodje, have been charged in the UK for alleged fraud by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
The others are Bright Sodje, 50, Samuel Sodje, 37, and Stephen Sodje, 42, were charged with fraudulent trading.
They were arraigned on October 21 and were granted bail at the Westminster Magistrates' court in London. They are to appear on 14th November 2016.
The brothers were arrested on 13 July after a three-year NCA's investigation into alleged irregularities at the Sodje Sports Foundation.
According to NCA, Sodje Sports Foundation was registered on March 1, 2010 and disbanded on January 22, 2015. The foundation has a motley of clearly unrelated aims, according to its record retrieved UK Charity Commission.
The aims are poverty reduction, advance good health in people through the provision of facilities in playing amateur sports and the promotion of lifelong learning.
Others are promotion of leadership skills and health issues such as HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, and nutrition.
It also claimed to be focused on with human rights violations such as "discrimination, equality and diversity issues (whether relating to race, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation or religion)."
Efetobore, the most prominent of the Sodje brothers, played for the Super Eagles at the 2000 African Cup of Nations.
He also played at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. (NAN)

For Catholics, we live in the in-between times: the times in which we have experienced the Reign of God as already begun but not yet fully realized. We find ourselves inside such a time now. As I write this, we are between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). We are between the sweet promise of the new bearing fruit and the need to voice our shortcomings and atone for our sins. Or as my Jewish family puts it: so that "what is written on Rosh Hashanah shall be sealed on Yom Kippur."
We are also in-between the times wrestling with Syria to uphold the moral principle prohibiting the use of chemical weapons or unleashing the ungodly dogs of war. Pope Francis called for a worldwide day of fasting and prayer for peace during his Sunday, September 1 address. Catholic Bishops in the U.S. followed suit by encouraging U.S. Catholics to do the same on Saturday, September 7th.
Prayer is of inestimable value, though it is perhaps not the most common diplomatic tool to employ in foreign relations. Practically speaking, the power of prayer and fasting comes from the depth of a practicing community as it draws upon and looks to God as the ultimate source of life and goodness. If a community or an individual is not typically well practiced in this type of radical simplicity, such powerful rituals and gestures may seem less efficacious and more formulaic mumbo-jumbo, like rune-like rosaries or quietly lit candles.
But I also think on some basic level parents are quite comfortable or at least well practiced at offering up their most ordinary lives in the face of the unknown with a sense of hope in the future. Our children bear out that kind of promise even as they may also be the victims of a less than ideal future. But I am sure that our parental responsibilities and obligations are often informed by a sense of sacrifice and a belief that our work toward that end is a meaningful struggle or contribution towards a life better than this.
So whether or not you personally join the worldwide gesture of prayer and fasting, have a strong or informed view of where you'd like things to go in Syria, are aware that millions of Jews worldwide are wrestling in their own ways with what the future holds, as are literally many other religious communities and minorities in a myriad of places around the world underneath the radar of U.S. foreign policy, we should join our best and simplest utterances to God over our futures and over our foods with the struggle for a more durable peace amongst the nations and peoples. So that what has been written for the years of our children may be sealed not by what mankind can take and destroy, but what God can redeem and make whole.
For myself, I am comforted by these in-between times when I am reminded how often this sentiment was formed in me every day in Catholic elementary school when we made our Morning Offering to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in which I offered "my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world…and for all the intentions of the Bishops, Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by the Holy Father…"
I still live in a world formed and conformed to such words. I pray and hunger for a more durable peace. And I feed my child on such hope in these in-between times.

Hardy, shade-loving plants
Hardy, shade-loving plants are often placed along paths or shady areas within the garden. These plants do not need as much full sun as other flowering shrubs and plants.
Shade-loving plants brighten up lonely corners of your garden, and most shade-loving plants require minimal care such as periodic watering and pruning.
Astilbe is a tough, shade-loving perennial that produces pink, red, white and purple flowers in the early summer. Some other colour variations such as burgundy are also seen. The foliage is thin and light green. This plant can grow up to 1.2 m (4 feet tall). Astilbes need moist soil. Plant this shrub in an area that does not drain well and in a shady corner of your garden. Water your shrub every other day.
Camellias are hardy, shade-loving evergreen shrubs that produce white, pink and red flowers in the late winter and spring. The foliage is glossy and dark green. This plant enjoys moist but well-drained soil and needs watering four to five times per week. This shrub can reach heights of up to 6 m (20 feet) tall, so pruning is needed to prevent overgrowth. Many homeowners maintain their shrubs at 2.4 to 3 m (8 to 10 feet) tall.
Acer palmatum
The Acer palmatum is a hardy, shade-loving tree that produces tiny purple and red flowers, and dark reddish purple foliage. The foliage also turns bright red in the autumn. This plant thrives in the shade and enjoys partial sun. The Acer palmatum enjoys moist sandy and claylike soils. This is a small tree that can grow up to 1.8 m (6 feet) tall.

What I Wish Everyone Knew About Rhinos
The first rhinos my wife Beverly and I saw certainly impressed me. Then again, who wouldn't be impressed by a four-ton prehistoric animal coming at you, snorting and blowing snot like a dragon with red dust rising up from its feet like the very beast of the Apocalypse?
I think I was 21 with a few years of bush experience, and had studied rhinos from afar when I finally saw one up close. Beverly feigned complete trust in me, stood behind me and held my hips. (Though perhaps it was less trust than the fact that there was not a single tree thicker than my thumb to hide behind?)
Nonetheless, I was determined to protect her, and dropped to one knee, ignoring the thorn that immediately made me regret the gesture and said we should be as quiet as possible.
Thankfully, the rhinos blundered past, missing us by a few paces, but clearly irritated enough by our scent to want to crush us into the red dust if they could find us. And that was the first thing I learned about rhinos:
They don't see very well.
White rhinos must have once been like the calm Brontosaurus dinosaurs, wandering Africa and Asia in herds, feeding on vegetation as other big animals chased each other and slaughtered their prey, largely leaving these lumbering giants alone. There were probably millions of them, because they do absolutely no harm at all to anyone, man or beast. They tug out clumps of grass to eat, don't go near crops or livestock and just wander peacefully.
White rhinos are the "chocolate labradors" of the pachyderm world. No one hates a white rhino. No one.
Black rhinos are little more rambunctious; they hook down acacia thorn branches instead of grass, and perhaps the rougher diet has a slight effect on them. They smash through fences and walls and cars (even trains!) if they come across them. Black rhinos are the pitbulls of the pachyderm world!
They feel pain.
No creature deserves what I recently saw on film.
She was a beautiful adult female white rhino, round in just the right places, with delicate folds of grey fat and flesh — not unattractive in rhino terms — except for one blemish: her face had been hacked off. She stepped out into the road, confused and afraid and in levels of pain I cannot even imagine.
Poachers had darted her with a drug called M99, just enough to put her down, but not enough to dull any pain, and then hacked off her horns.
Poachers used to be a little more polite. They'd kill a rhino and chop off the large horn and not bother with the rest.
Today, with a street price of $65,000 per kilogram, every last shred of rhino horn is taken; even the mucus sap is drained and the horn buds are removed. A newborn baby is no longer left to try to suckle its poached mother; it, too, is chopped up for its three-month old horn (no larger than a shot glass).
When the pain from the surgery, done with a machete, overwhelmed the effect of the M99, the rhino tried to get up and run away, so they hacked at her until she submitted to the final act. But then, they left. Hours later, she walked out onto the road, a bloody mutilated mess.
Poachers do this now because the risk of detection is increasing, so gunshots need to be kept to a minimum. If they drug the target animal and it walks away later, only to collapse and be found by anti-poaching teams, the poachers' tracks are at the original site and much harder to follow.
I hope that people learn that "trade" in horn is disastrous, not a solution.
There is a move afoot in South Africa to offer up a solution for the intense rhino poaching that sees a rhino being killed every 8 hours each day.
With over 60% of rhinos in private hands (on farms and in breeding locations), those owners want the right to harvest and sell rhino horn and, according to their logic, "flood the market."
Many of these farmers are actually businessmen, so it's astounding to me that they have such a weak grasp of the use of a calculator. There are now 1.3 billion Chinese people, and the rhino horn market doesn't stop there. Vietnam is a huge market and Taiwan, Thailand and other far Eastern countries make up over 2 billion potential consumers of rhino horn.
We have 18,000 rhinos left. A rhino produces a horn if shaved off, every three years.
In other words: rhinos today have the capacity to satisfy less than 3% of the market.
If, however, it is made legal to trade in rhino horn, millions of people will feel it's OK to buy rhino horn, and the market will leap in size. For businessmen to feed this market (and sell their wares), they will market and manage the prices, for best-achieved value. As the price goes up, as any farmer would pray for, the risk/reward ratio for poachers will quickly make it more and more viable to poach rhinos, and the curve to extinction will quickly increase.
"Harvesting" rhino horn means that horns are sawn off.
Each time that happens, they are darted (put at risk) and moved. I don't believe that rhinos have evolved over 10 million years to have a horn that they don't need. So the after-effects of dehorning a rhino (or shaving down the horn) will have serious repercussions.
We are killing rhinos faster than they can breed.
This year marks a very interesting one. In time, 2014 will be known as the year when rhinos reached a tipping point, where the rhinos we have are breeding at a rate lower than the kill rate of poaching. We will officially go into a rhino deficit this year.

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is part of a category of psychotherapeutic approaches called brief therapy. Brief therapies are just that—brief! Motivational interviewing is ideal for women who already have a high level of insight and self-awareness and are looking for practical ways to apply it. We focus less on your past causes of dysfunctional behavior and more on solutions and related life skills. It's highly useful when addressing behaviors like drug and alcohol abuse. Our therapists can help you explore why you are engaging in destructive behavior.
Successful motivational interviewing requires that you build a strong relationship with your therapist. When you feel comfortable enough to share sensitive experiences that may have caused pain in your life, you begin to heal. Our therapists know that being willing and ready to change comes from within and can't be forced. It's a cooperative and collaborative process that honors your freedom of choice.

Posted by: Saving Water SA (Cape Town, South Africa) – partnered with Water Rhapsody conservation systems – 26 November 2010
Unless millions of litres of acid mine water beneath Johannesburg are decanted soon, low-lying areas in the city could be flooded, Prof Terence McCarthy of the University of the Witwatersrand warns.
He said if pumping does not begin by October next year, many sites, including tourist attraction Gold Reef City — which he described as a "national treasure" — could flood.
Prof McCarthy was speaking at the launch of his new study, The Decanting of Acid Mine Water in the Gauteng City-Region — Analysis, Prognosis and Solutions, published by the Gauteng City- Region Observatory, a partnership between Wits University and the Gauteng government.
"The void beneath the Witwatersrand, which has been created by gold mining activity over the last 120 years, is filling with water which is rising by about 15m a month," said Prof McCarthy.
In October 2008, East Rand Proprietary Mines stopped pumping and the space created by the mine's rock extraction began to fill with water.
"Currently, the water level in the void lies at a depth of about 600m below the surface, but this could rise faster during the rainy season," Prof McCarthy said.
If it is not pumped out, the water will spill out of the ground and find its way into the Klip River catchment area, which flows into the Vaal River.
Mine water is generally toxic and corrosive, but Prof McCarthy said when it reaches the deeper parts of the mine void, it is deprived of oxygen and the chemical reactions cease, which caps the levels of pollution.
"Ultimately, the decant water may become of sufficient quality that it could be used to augment the region's drinking water supply, although we have no idea how long that could take," he said.
"But in the immediate term, the water that will decant is potentially toxic. The uranium in the water is poisonous."
Prof McCarthy said two pumping stations needed to be established, in Germiston and Florida in Johannesburg.
Pumping "will not necessarily be a perpetual cost", he said.

text: The purposes of this study were twofold. The first was to improve performance in an organizational setting (military) with the help of the following mental-training techniques: relaxation, meditation, and imagery rehearsal—alone or combined. Second was to routinize the process using the organization's staff as coordinators, minimizing teacher training, preparation, cost, and time. A training program was developed within these guidelines. An experimental group of 214 Swedish conscripts and cadets (men, 19–21 years old) followed the training program for approximately 8 months. The performance of this group was significantly better than the control group on actual task examinations and mental tests. No effects from the training program were found on physical and mental well-being. Most goals concerning the routinization of the training were reached. Necessary conditions for and possible benefits for large-scale applications of mental training in organizational contexts are discussed.

I am currently progressing with my first complete "product", that is, electronics design including professionally made PCBs and plastics. Assembly will be done by us, which caused me to use solder paste for the first time.
The first run was bad: the solder points where brittle and the components came off easily. Could there be a better moment to play with our new USB microscope? (100 Bucks on eBay, great investment I think!)
Turns out that I used accidentally the wrong setting on the reflow oven. I though we still had some leftover lead-based paste in the applicator, but apparently it was lead-free paste after all. D'oh!
Now I just have to find out what the symptoms of old solder paste are. I heard that you can keep it only for a couple of weeks, but the paste I used here is about a year old. This had me wondering what solder joints would look like when you've used paste that was too old.
NB: Sorry for the colors by the way. VLC seems to switch the red and the blue channels on the snapshot (but doesn't on the video itself), and I haven't found an easy way around it yet.

ABCB Business Plan28/07/2017
The latest Business Plan was considered and endorsed by Ministers at the 30 June Building Ministers' Forum (BMF).
What's inside?
The Business Plan provides detail on critical projects for the ABCB in 2017-18 including a suite of measures to help address the risks associated with high rise building fires, which are to be expedited to help prevent the non-compliant use of cladding on buildings. The BMF also identified the analysis of accessible housing, prevention of jumping suicides from heights in buildings and sanitary facilities for people with profound disabilities, as priority projects.
The Plan also provides an overview of the upcoming work involved with revised product certification schemes, CodeMark and WaterMark, the continued work on the National Energy Productivity Plan which will significantly improve the energy efficiency performance of new buildings and the ongoing quantification of the NCC's Performance Requirements. Increased NCC understanding and use through improved readability and digitisation, new education material and seminars, and closer collaboration with tertiary education providers, are also addressed.
Where can I find it?
For a more detailed insight into work of the Board for 2017-18, the Business Plan is now available.

The underground passage that does not
In Istanbul the other night, blurred with rakı and hours of talking, sitting on a balcony with a man who used to edit Turkish Men's Health Magazine, although he was never really in shape ("sure, you can look like that, but sure, you can also enjoy no part of your life") and had lost that job, just wanted to talk and write about movies but that doesn't really pay. The night got colder and orange, finally. His baby was sleeping inside, hands bundled up hard, we were looking out from Tophane toward Galata and there was an unlit building, the windows slack jaw, square mouths.
He told me that the white and red banned tacked to it said
and that they weren't renting any of the spaces for people to live in them because no one was paying enough and they wanted a company to buy it whole, they wanted to keep it completely open. Down below two cats were fighting, but without much energy or noise, just doing it because they're supposed to, just hissing out, like dead balloons.
And he said that yeah, that traffic clogs everything here, it's faster to sit on a ferry than to drive, and they are building a subway from Europe to Asia, but it is stuck halfway done, they are always saying
next year, next year
I.E.: Istanbul, unfinishing

One is not expected to speak of one's numbness when the one is numb.
Resisting the "about to come" leads to irregularity. Irregularity seems to be the perfect orderly manner of evolving, and through evolution (of the mind), revolting. Strange days accompany these irregularities and commons cease to exist, or rather elevate their existance into rebellious specials. The order of the commons becomes the disorder of the specials and the "about to come" becomes the "about to change". Change is always good....NOT. Change is different, conceptually, theoritically, spiritually.How about really? Is it not the case that once the specials supress the "icons of tradition" and anhilate the bonds of static, retreat into their roots of commonness, or even choose to hand over their infant legacy to newly founded orders of caretakers...? Caretakers who were never "specialised"... And then the "what has changed" becomes the norm.
As silent by-standers, or even participants of this realm of "norm" identifies us as normal? If so why is this normality so indifferent to me? Why do I consider the so-called revolution that enthroned the norm, as something I needn't consider at all. Is it possible that for at least one single moment in history all the participants of this so-called revolution shared a common thought? or were in the same mind frame? If so, was it by their own, personal and rightfull choice or were they simply puppeteered into adopting as their own, this made-beleive common cause for the "greater good"? By who? And how is one man's thought, his own personal solution of a common(governed by the strict rules of personal experience- and identified univesally by a common denomenator- of negligible importance sometimes) problem , suddenly rocketeered into the stratosphere, becoming a bright star of sublime leadership, becoming an essential element of life, becoming the breath that powers the cancer infested lungs of the mass? Just like that. Random events of life all of a sudden become pre-planned injustices, with publically recognised instigators of these injustices. Misfortune becomes the spear that will be driven into the heart of the norm. And always, there is One. One that will masterfully lead (or mislead) the newly formed mass of momentarily )and this moment can be very long) blind beleivers into the "promise land". Nobody stops to think back. Nobody realises the obvious. Even God himself could not deliver the promise land. Why have i wasted all this energy on something indifferent to me? Di i need to prove to myself the rightousness of my beleif?
I am becoming unstable. My numbness is not universal and this troubles me. The brain keeps ordering the numb body, or the body is vibrant and awaiting the orders of the numb mind. Which is worse. I am becoming unstable. Irregular. I had goat last night, roasted baby goat (it was dead so apparently numb too) and pan-fried zucchini. It was delicious. My taste buds are not numb. The rest of me is. Irregular numbness.
Irregularity leads to chaos... systems whose states evolve with time – that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos (wikipedia).
So ( (((Non Numbness - Numbness) *Roasted Baby Goat)/ fried zucchini) + 1 Amstel) - this morning's excrement + 1 liter of urine) = Chaos
Chaos = apparently random behaviour (with all the sauce added)
Apparently random behaviour= apparent irregularity
Apparent irregulaty= Apparently Me.
I need to see a doctor...i Think..

August 24, 2017
Condolences came in spades on Thursday as the U.S. Navy confirmed the death of a Cherry Hill resident who was among the 10 missing sailors and five other crew members lost in Monday's collision between a destroyer and an oil tanker off the coast of Singapore.
The remains of Kenneth Aaron Smith, 22, were identified by Navy officials called off a sea search covering 2,100 square miles. Smith was an electronics technician 3rd class aboard the USS John McCain, a guided missile destroyer whose hull was ripped open after colliding with the merchant vessel Alnic MC.
A Michigan native, Smith moved to Norfolk, Virginia, to live with his father as a teenager and later settled in Cherry Hill, enlisting in the Navy in 2014, the Virginian-Pilot reported Thursday.
His father, Darryl Smith, also a Navy veteran, released the following statement:
"Kenneth was a great young man, son, and Sailor. He truly loved his family, the Navy, and his shipmates. I am incredibly proud of his service to our country. He will be greatly missed and I am thankful we had 22 wonderful years together. Most important we ask you to keep in your thoughts and prayers all the families and friends of those affected by this tragedy. As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family and I respectfully request that you allow us to grieve in private."
Smith's mother, April Brandon, had posted on Facebook earlier this week with hope for her son's recovery. Comments on Thursday showed support for the grieving mother, who lives in Milford, Michigan. A candlelight vigil reportedly was held at her home Wednesday night.
"We pray that God is with you and your family at this time and always," wrote one commenter. "Sorry for your loss."
Politicians and leaders in New Jersey shared their sadness and gratitude for Smith's service on Thursday.
"On behalf of the entire Camden County Freeholder Board, I wish to extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family of Kenneth Smith who proudly served his country aboard the USS John S. McCain," Freeholder Bill Moen said. "As I have said previously, his commitment to become a third-generation sailor, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather before him, is truly inspirational, and he exemplifies a life of service to others."
"Let us honor Kenneth's bravery by reflecting on his commitment to the nation he loved, his unwavering patriotism and the profound debt of gratitude we owe him and his family for their sacrifice," added U.S. Sen. Cory Booker.
An 80-hour sea search for survivors and remains was assisted by aircraft and ships from Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. Navy divers will continue to search flooded compartments inside the USS John McCain for the remains of those who are still officially considered missing.
In response to Monday's collision, the fourth this year involving a U.S. Navy vessel, Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, commander of the 7th Fleet, was dismissed for operational reasons. An operation pause has been placed in effect for Navy fleets around the world to ensure the safety and effectiveness of operations.
Four sailors who were injured in the crash have been released from the hospital after receiving treatment in Singapore.
