2004: Hunter Allegedly Shoots "Amphibian Alien"
ARGENTINA: HUNTER HAS A UFO EXPERIENCE
By Raul Oscar Chaves, CIUFOS-La Pampa
Location: Rural area west of Toay, La Pampa (Argentina)
Witnesses: Two
While stalking animals in a hunting preserve, two hunters witnessed a light described as "a full moon" engaging in ascent and descent movements on a hillside, subsequently coming close to the ground. The larger light – orange in color – was static while smaller multicolored lights danced around it.
It is worth noting that at the time of the sighting, there was a moment of confusion, since two "full moons" were suddenly visible: the first being Earth's satellite and the other the unidentified flying object. It should also be mentioned that smaller lights were seen during the late afternoon, engaged in strange maneuvers.
In the light of this, one of the hunters decided to leave the location, full of fear. He drove off in his pickup truck. The remaining hunter stayed back, accompanied by his powerful .30 caliber rifle with telescopic sight.
In the wee hours of the morning he was stirred from his sleep by noises similar to those of wild boar, coming from the location where they had previously found a dead cow (dead of natural causes) which they employed as bait. A distance of 80 meters separated the cow from the hunter.
Hearing these growls, he focused his telescopic sight on the dead cows' carcass, startled by the sight of a figure he identified as "an animal", surprised by its bulk and height. It was then that he decided to take the shot, hearing the characteristic noise of the impact on the body.
At that moment, the entire region became illuminated by a "very powerful light" that produced whirlwinds and dirt devils with a permanent, buzzing sound. Through his rifle's sight, the hunter was able to see the creature again, noticing that its posterior had a tail "similar to that of an amphibian reptile".
The hunter chose to wait a prudent amount of time and kept a constant watch on the location. Later on, overcoming his initial fear, and the total silence that predominated, he approached the carcass certain that he had killed the creature he had witnessed through the scope. With astonishment, he saw that the creature he had hit with the high-caliber bullet had vanished and that the cow had been moved 90 degrees from its original position, giving the appearance of having been mutilated. No traces of blood were found in the vicinity, nor tracks or any evidence corrborating the event.
The witness comes from a line of professional hunters living in Santa Rosa, la Pampa, accustomed to the wilderness and spending nights waiting for their prey. The hunter is convinced, in his own words, that "…he had shot an extraterrestrial in disguise."
NOTE: The charcteristics described above cause us to reflect on the absence of eyewitnesses to the mutilations, the places where said mutilations take place and the circumstances employed. This is where we can see that the UFO phenomenon goes beyond the limits of both reason and our reality.
The electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye exists in a wavelength of between 10.6 and 10.7 meters with a frequency between 1014 and 1015 Hz. Above these frequencies, which are lower in wavelength, we find UV, X and Gamma Rays; below these frequencies and with a longer wavelength we have infrared, microwave, shortwave, TV and FM radio waves, AM waves and longwave radio.
There are investigations aimed at an effort to collect and present a variety of manifestations which could take place in a level other than the visible and which could be employed by these intelligences to go unnoticed; some of these have already been recorded.

Perú: Father Christmas or a UFO? Mysterious Light Shines Over Several Districts of Lima
Source: PLANETA UFO and Radio Santiago
At approximately 00:10 hours on Thursday, December 25 - Christmas Day - A glow illuminated various districts of Lima and El Callao. This cause great consternation in social media. Facebook and YouTube users recorded videos of this hitherto inexplicable phenomenon.
The images show the manner in which the light appears from one minute to the next in the sky. At the same time, public and domestic lighting ceases to work in part. The aforementioned light has a bluish color and is more like a flash, but scene from various districts of the capital.
No authority has commented on this up to now.
Below: The light as seen from Chorrillos, a district of Lima. "The light was in San Miguel or El Callao," according to Giancarlo Origgi, the author of the photo, who shared it on Twitter.
Phenomena of this sort can be explained in a number of logical ways, but there is also the possibility that it cannot be explained.
1. A likely cause would be a short-circuit in the city's power grid. It has been noted that the power supply was interrupted for a few brief seconds.
2. The presence of a meteorite exploding in the atmosphere above the Peruvian capital. This is also a highly probably hypothesis.
3. Although less likely, it could be something manmade, that is to say some sort of pyrotechnic or explosive device flying at high altitude. Let us remember that fireworks are abundant in the sky on the night of December 24th and the early hours of December 25th.
It is important - before stating that UFOs or aliens are involved - is to consider all logical alternatives. Once these have been exhausted, and when no convincing answers are forthcoming from the authorities, we can then classify this case as unexplained. It cannot be denied that this is strange in plain sight, and it is for this reason that we are writing, analyzing and disclosing this news item.
UPDATES (Source: Diario La República)
José Mesía, a forecaster with Senamhi, reports that the source of the light being an electrical discharge has been discarded. According to satellite images at the time in question, there were only "low clouds and some middle clouds" in the skies over the capital, which do not produce discharges. he also says that when looking at the video uploaded to Facebook, the light appears to come from the surface, rising skyward from it.
After phoning EDELNOR customer service, we were told that they had no information on any blackouts whatsoever during the time period in question. They promised to contact us should there be any information on the occurrence.

Argentina: Air Force Debunks Nearly 40 UFO Sightings
Source: Planeta UFO, TELAM and Diario de Cuyo
Nearly 40 sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) reported in Argentina during 2016 were explained away as some natural phenomenon by those who took the photo or witnessed the event reported, according to a commission of the Argentinean Air Force (FAA).
The Comisión de Estudio de Fenómenos Aeroespaciales (CEFAE) is an agency attached to the Argentinean Air Force. It has operated since 2011 in an office shared by monitors that follow satellites in real time, along with the debris of the Soviet space station Salyut 7, which crashed in the Province of Entre Rios in February 1991.
Ruben Lianza, who is in charge of CEFAE, explained that they provide "an open public service that enables citizens to clarify UFO sightings they may have recorded. "We employ all the tools at our disposal to identify each case as precisely as possible. It isn't that we're looking for alien life in the photographs."
With 40 years' experience in his favor, the specialist explained that "many people manage to take photos when they see something in the heavens that they can't explain, and others notice objects they did not expect to see, seemingly in flight, in photos they've taken. In such cases, many get in touch with us in the hope that we will identify these flying objects."
"There are thousands of other objects having a commonplace origin that cause people to become confused. For that reason, this commission employs the term 'aerospace phenomena' rather than the ill-used acronym UFO."
Lianza pointed out that "at least seven different kinds of explanations can be identified. Some are of an optical nature, being external or internal lens flares, particles or drops on the lens or sensor errors. Others are biological, birds or insects flying across the camera or creating optical illusions by having been taken at very low shutter speeds. There are also astronomical causes, such as the moon in broad daylight, for instance, or a star, planet or even the occasional shooting star, the sun reflecting off communication satellite mirrors, aircraft flying during daytime or nighttime hours or experimental balloons," he added.
For the moment, 40 per cent of the cases present in the report are attributable to biological causes, 37.1 per cent to causes linked to camera effects, while 5.7 per cent corresponds to astronomical causes and 2.9 per cent are attributable to satellites.
The commission makes use of three satellite and astronomical tracking software programs - Orbitron, Satflare and Stellarium - in analyzing cases. These record the exact orbit in real time with the possibility of delayed mode simulation for satellites and heavenly bodies. This allows reproduction of the conditions existing in the skies at the exact time and date at which the phenomenon was reported.
"When people see things at the edge of their visual field, the brain completes the missing information by resorting to the imagination. This can happen to a person with no aeronautical experience as well as to the most experienced pilot. It is for this reason that all the cases we receive must be accompanied perforce by photo, video or material evidence."

Mexico: UFOs Reported Over the Mérida-Tixkokob Highway
Source: PLANETA UFO and SIPSE
An article by Jorge Moreno for SIPSE
http://sipse.com/milenio/avistamientos-fenomeno-ovni-carretera-merida-tixkokob-235553.html
MERIDA, Yucatan - With two new UFO sighting reports along the Mérida-Tixkokob Highway, this stretch of road is becoming known due to sightings of this sort. Localities such as Ticul and the Muna and Homún roads are also UFO hotspots.
Reports came from employees working on the construction of a highway exit toward Tixkokob: "We were heading home in late December was it was getting dark. My co-work grabbed his motorcycle and we took off toward Tipéxhual. We had progressed a few kilometers past the Villas de Oriente checkpoint when a sort of UFO or spaceship with a powerful blue light crossed right in front of us, at an altitude of some 20 meters. It was so close that there was no way we could be mistaken. My companion even pulled over to look at it more closely. In fact, it made no noise whatsoever," explained one worker.
It is worth noting that although no further information was forthcoming in this regard, a worker had seen a similar object only a few days ago, just one kilometer before reaching this community.
"We're certain that it was a UFO. The time was around nine o'clock at night. The light was very bright, like a sort of sphere, making erratic moves. It suddenly took off, vanishing at high speed. I think it went upward," he concluded.
A few years ago, Carlos Benitez Novelo, a vendor who customarily covers the Tixkokob route and encircling municipalities, informed Enigmas of the following case: "I let my house in Merida very early to start my collections in Tixho. I normally travel along the road that leads straight to that town, but on one instance I became distracted and went straight to Tipéxhual. Since it's the same distance, I didn't see a problem with it, and kept going. Within a few minutes after leaving Tipéxhual, going over the train tracks, I witnessed an object flying at low altitude, perhaps five meters. It was a black circular object, shaped like a spacecraft and metallic-looking, since the sunlight caused to have a slight glow. I slowed down but didn't stop, and then suddenly realize that it was matching my speed. I was very startled, it occurred in a matter of seconds, and then out the corner of my eye, I saw it take off and vanish into the sky. That's when I pulled over to calm down and see where it had gone off to, but I didn't see it again.
Such stories have become commonplace in recent years. All agree on the UFO's characteristics: it flies at high speed and a short distance from the road. However, the reason behind these sightings is unknown.

Argentina: Animal Mutilations and Two Strange Beings in La Pampa
Source: Planeta UFO and Diario Popular
Article by Pachi LaFata for Diario Popular
The event took place 35 kilometers from Rio Colorado. Witnesses opened fire but the creatures fled. The following are the facts of this chilling episode.
Ufologists referred to it as a "perfect cattle mutilation case", involving 13 specimens. It took place weeks ago in the Pampan locality of Rio Colorado, but that was not all. Making the rounds of the fields, farmhands came across two strange beings - one smaller, the other taller. As a result of the panic, the witnesses opened fire against them, but rounds had no effect on the creatures, which fled.
The area has been a land of mystery when it comes to the subject of dissected animals. In 2002, during the heyday of the cattle mutilation epidemic, the case involving the city of La Adela broke the mold with an episode involving over 40 dead and mutilated animals in a single field.
According to reports arising from an investigation by the VISION OVNI group, the event took place in this instance at a field near Route 154, a little more than 35 kilometers from Rio Colorado, the gateway to Patagonia, and 35 kilometers distant from La Adela in La Pampa. "Around August 9 [2016] during the night, the farmhands of the property witnessed a series of lights in the fields. Thinking cattle rustlers were involved, they headed in that direction with their weapons in an effort to catch the prowlers in the act. Upon reaching the site, they didn't find the lights, but instead came across a number of dead and mutilated animals, with perfect incisions in their jaws and hindquarters. They had already seen similar cases in 2002, and were surprised that no answer had ever been found for these incidents," reads the group's report.
Just as they thought the strange events were over, one of the farmhands -- according to sources -- came face to face with two beings, one smaller and another taller. The farmhands opened fire out of fear, not sure if they had struck their intended targets. "According to our sources, the witnesses remarked: 'the fellows say the saw a small creature and then a taller one and fired at them. They had scaly backs and ugly grey faces."
The following morning, one of the employees went out to survey the fields to see the place where the events occurred in closer detail. He found the smaller of the two beings around 9 a.m. He abandoned the field and went to town, refusing to return to work. He even asked to have his belongings brought to him because he doesn't want to return to the estate for anything in the world. The livestock property's owner (whose identity is being kept confidential) is being tight-lipped about these occurrences and has installed security cameras all over the farm's perimeter with the aim of securing evidence of who or what is behind these deaths."
SENASA is taking part in the investigation with the police, which is also being secretive about the case. However, it emerged that they found prints on the ground that were retrieved for investigation. These prints were found at 10-meter intervals, suggesting that the creature was able to hop or jump this distance.
While official versions of the event maintain that 13 animals were found mutilated in the Rio Colorado property, unofficial estimates place the deaths at 40. This would place the case at the top of the records for this year. VISION OVNI began its research activities in 1991 in Victoria, Entre Rios, Argentina. "Our goal is to disseminate case histories and research on the UFO phenomenon with the utmost seriousness and only with the truth about the countless cases that have occurred," noted the researchers.

Argentina: Seven Friends Break Pact of Silence to Disclose Alien Contact
Article by Pachi La Fata
http://www.diariopopular.com.ar/notas/138230-siete-amigos-rompen-pacto-silencio-y-revelan-un-contacto-extraterrestre
**They rented a farm on the outskirts of Neuquen and experienced a weekend of horrors***
The history was kept secret by an agreement between the witnesses. Seven people went through the most unbelievable - and terrifying - ordeal of their lives. They are speaking openly about it today, while concealing their identities. It happened in Neuquen last July during the course of a friendly weekend get-together, as they had not seen each other for a long time. Between them all they rented a quinta (farm) to enjoy unending food and conversation. But this was all changed as a result of mysterious events that included lights that invaded the premises, impressive noises and unexplained, illogical situations.
Alberto is one of the friends. He is 45, a professor at a school in the locality of Ciudad Evita. He doesn't believe in UFOS, aliens, or anything similar. Now he does. "We were stunned. We discussed it amongst ourselves, by phone or Facebook. We're a group of friends yearning to get together, having known each other since childhood. We attended school together or shared activities. Life led us along different paths later on. But a chain was formed, it grew, and one day we decided to get together and do something. That's where we got the idea to rent a farm for a weekend in Neuquén. The idea was to catch up with our life stories and eat a lot. We never imagined what would happen. I am telling you this with their permission," the witness told Mas Alla del Misterio.
The plan was solidified after much ado. "It was in July. I got there by plane, and we all met up. We chose a dwelling with several rooms and a big yard. Obviously, we purchased a lot of roasts and bottles of wine. We started out with a huge dinner, many hugs, anecdotes, laughter, some sad stories involving those who were no longer with us. A wonderful day as it went along. In the afternoon we drank mate and we even set up a foosball table. Night fell. We discussed what to eat and settled on beer and pizza. We ordered, it came, and everything was perfect, just as we'd planned," Alberto said.
Around 23:00 hours, some of the friends went to their rooms to sleep. Others stayed in bed, talking. "We were tired but happy. That's when all this stuff we cannot explain started to occur. The first thing that happened was the arrival of a massive light that flooded absolutely everything. The house had large windows with thick glass and curtains. Light was filtering in everywhere, even under the main door. We couldn't understand it," says the man.
Astonishment seized the group. The powerful light was soon joined by a tremendous noise none of them had ever heard before. "The noise was extremely odd. Like a whistling, a buzzing. We think it may have been a machine, but nothing we had ever experienced before. This was the situation. We were inside, with a light outside that flooded absolutely everything, and the strange unending noise. We tried looking out, but the brightness didn't allow us to see anything. We grew nervous, and fear soon manifested itself. But we didn't know what to do. No one was willing to go out," Alberto explained.
"Everything became very strange. I'm not sure how long this situation lasted, ten minutes perhaps. Suddenly, the noise began to disappear until everything became quiet. But the light remained steady. I think this was precisely to keep us from going outside. We exchanged glances. Suddenly other sounds began drifting in from the outside. Truly inexplicable. I cannot describe them. A mixture of metallic sounds, but that doesn't explain the either. Almost simultaneously, a wind whipped up inside the house, with no reason, shaking the curtains, the lights. The door starting to make a noise, squeaking. The windows too," added the witness.
Amid this chilling scenario, one of the friends suggested they leave the habitation's main room. "Let's go to the largest bedroom," he said. All agreed. "We felt we shouldn't be where we were, that we could not remain there. We locked ourselves into that room and spent the entire night inside. Every so often we'd hear noises. Finally, at dawn, we went outside with trepidation. The house curtains were slashed in two, almost neatly. So were the plates on the table. Only their circumference was left," he said.
Alberto finally stated: "None of us can explain this, whether aliens or something else was involved. Nothing." He added that "we all want to tell the story, but it is likely that we'll be taken for madmen, even though we're coming forward now, because we're sure that we aren't the only ones who went through a similar experience."
A CE-3K?
During conversations following the event, the friends put forth a number of theories. Overall, they believe it was a close encounter of the third kind with some sort of alien craft, which manifested at the site to do something they're unsure of. "They were around several hours. We know something came inside while we were locked in the room. We spoke about the curtains the plates. They took the circles from the base of the plates, leaving only their circumference. These were perfect circles. No noise, nothing. A mystery." Alberto further added: "Some of us haven't even told what happened to our relatives. This isn't my case - I have sufficient trust in my loved ones, and I did so with considerable detail. In fact, they supported me when started to consider the possibility of sharing the story with Diario Popular." In this regard "we hope to understand a little more; we're all a bit obsessed."
Like in the Movies, But Without Signs
The descriptions of the event in the Neuquén farm have points of similarity with entire scenes from the movie "Signs", especially at the start, when a family goes through a moment of panic before aliens arrive at their home. "We discussed it, it matches the movie. The only thing is that there was nothing outside. We toured the premises to make sure and no trace whatsoever was to be found. It's all so strange. Local residents say they saw nothing at all."

Nicaragua: More UFOs in El Sauce?
Residents of El Sauce, León, reported in on social media claiming to have been stunned after seeing a strange light in the sky last night (December 6).
Several Facebook users claimed seeing a bright light crossing the sky very slowly from East to West, and it vanished suddenly after being detected. It is worth mentioning that many people had the chance to see this UFO, as it cruised across the sky for approximately 20 minutes. Onlookers also noted that the unidentified flying object (UFO) was constantly changing colors from silver to red.
One of three photographs of the El Sauce object taken by Hugo Sánchez.
Mrs. Francis Reyes, a resident of this municipality, said: "First, the phenomenon looked like multiple colored lights, and it traveled at a higher speed." Her version of the event dovetails with statements made by others who were astonished by the bright light in the sky.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that such a sighting has been reported by residents of El Sauce, who have no qualms about making such phenomena known.
As an added note, residents of Comunidad Los Limones 2 in El Sauce reported that a UFO had been seen during morning hours on 18 December 2015. They also said the alleged UFO was heading toward Cerro La Horqueta. But in the final analysis, it may be you who has the answer as to whether or not to believe in the so-called UFOs.

Argentina: An Interview with Ventura Maceiras in 1971?
Background Information: "On Saturday, December 30, 1972, Ventura Maceiras, the 73-year-old watchman of a property located in the Angel Cabañas Municipal Park of Tres Arroyos, province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), was calmly sipping tea one evening when a brilliantly illuminated object appeared out of nowhere in a nearby clearing. He could make out the forms of two beings clearly within the glowing object, and with the rustic courtesy of the gaucho, Maceiras proffered his cup of "mate" – the traditional Argentinean infusion – to the new arrivals. His cat, having just given birth to litter of kittens, ran away from the unnatural light, forsaking her young. Events following the apparition of the alien craft proceeded quickly. Maceiras saw the beings depart in a flash of light, and immediately began to feel ill, with slight vomiting and incontinence. Strange tendrils of fine, thread-like material (a form of Morgellon's Disease?) streamed from his eyes and his blood cell count dropped precipitously. Researchers were startled to find that fish in an adjacent pond had died of unknown causes. Maceiras's cat returned, displaying patches of burnt fur as if from extreme heat, and would later die mysteriously, along with Maceiras's dog, who is seldom mentioned in the numerous retellings of the case. But a totally unforeseen event began to transpire: Maceiras began to acquire thoughts foreign to his experience and meager education. He was able to discuss the finer points of history, philosophy, medicine and astronomy with experts come from the capital to see him. To the amazement of his attending physicians, Maceiras was growing a new set of teeth. It should be noted, however, that subsequent investigations called into question the dental development and the alleged improvement to his eyesight."
Our colleagues Guillermo Giménez of Planeta UFO and researcher Carlos Sainz have provided a fascinating document: a news report by Bahia Blanca's Channel 9 showing an interview allegedly from 1971 by Jose Roman Cachero, a respected TV journalist from with an older man who goes unidentified in the video, but who could well be Ventura Maceiras one year prior to his history-making UFO Experience. If it is indeed Maceiras? Does it suggest that he had an earlier encounter with the unknown?
The video can be seen at https://youtu.be/ySYsvYEKzvA
The transcription is from 00:50 minutes to 01:59 minutes of the original. The remainder of the video is a tribute to the Dionisio Llanca abduction case.
Maceiras: It came down from the sky, softly, with a buzzing sound. A strange soft buzzing, very perceptible, and it came down, and it slid its feet, didn't lift them too much, almost dragging them.
Interviewer: So he sat beside you and spoke to you? To show you stuff?
Maceiras: Yes. I offered him a little footstool, but he refused it. He chose a taller stool, and that's when I realized that he had a very long pistol at his side.
Interviewer: what was the man like, physically?
Maceiras: He was taller than me, slightly more elongated face --
Interviewer: Did he have hair?
Maceiras: Yes, yes he had hair.
Interviewer: So a normal being, then.
Maceiras: Yes, his hair looked like silky wood.
Interviewer: What were his eyes like?
Maceiras: Elongated, really slanted. I don't know, I've never seen that sort of person before. I've seen that in Turkish women (*) I'd seen it before.
Interviewer: And what language did he speak?
Maceiras: Castilian, a rough sort of Castillian. There were many words I was unable to understand. Out of every twenty words there were a few I found hard.
Interviewer: Did you shake hands?
Maceiras: Yes, he held out his hand when he showed up.
Interviewer: What did it feel like?
Maceiras: Like a sort of "kick"
Interviewer: A hot hand?
Maceiras: No, no - the hand wasn't hot. It was a very smooth hand, very soft, but it gave me a sort of "kick".
(*) It is interesting to note that Antonio Villas Boas made a similar remark during the interviews regarding his sexual experiences aboard an unknown craft. He stated the following during the interview conducted by Dr. Olavo T. Fontes on February 22, 1958 and witnessed by journalist Joao Martins: Her eyes were blue and large, more narrow than round and slanted outward--like the pencil-painted eyes of those girls who fancy themselves Arabian princesses and make their eyes look slanted; that's what they were like. Only it was a completely natural effect, since there was no paint at all involved."
Carlos Sainz had the following to say about this remarkable recording: "[Maceiras] goes unnamed in the video. In fact, the date provided is 1971. In my opinion, this is an oversight of the tape, of the news program itself, considering that their intention was to "recover old file material". The TV channel is from Bahía Blanca, near Tres Arroyos, where the Maceiras case occurred. If you contrast it with other photos of Maceiras, the image on the tape is practically identical, as well as the way in which he expresses himself. Part of what he is telling the journalist matches what was described in other articles and told to other reporters at the time. Personally, I'm sure it's him."
Argentina: Was a UFO Photographed over Jáchal?

** This isn't the first time that Roberto Ruiz has an experience like the one on Thursday, when he went out to photograph a storm. Watch the video**
Photographer Roberto Ruiz from Jáchal (San Juan Province) witnessed a luminous object in the skies over his hometown on Thursday night, when he went out with his colleague Nito Martín to photograph the storm.
Their lenses were aimed at Cerro Los Blanquitos around ten o'clock at night, when a powerful greenish light became visible at the mountain's crest. According the eyewitnesses, the object moved and later vanished behind the summit.
This is not the first time that the photojournalist has had a similar experience. In August 1984, Ruiz alleedly saw a UFO from the window of a plane on which he was flying.

Living side-by-side, a fledgling chef and a big-hearted contractor find a delicious attraction.
Trouble is, their chemistry could spoil their dreams.
Spirited PJ McKinley has the touch when it comes to food. Her dream of opening her own restaurant is just one building short of reality. So when a Chapel Springs resident offers her beloved ancestral home to the applicant with the best plan for the house, PJ believes it's a contest she was meant to win.
Contractor Cole Evans is confident, professional, and swoon-worthy—but this former foster kid knows his life could have turned out very differently. When Cole discovers the contest, he believes his home for foster kids in transition has found its saving grace. All he has to do is convince the owner that an out-of-towner with a not-for-profit enterprise is good for the community.
But when the eccentric philanthropist sees PJ and Cole's proposals, she makes an unexpected decision: the pair will share the house for a year to show what their ideas are made of. Now, with Cole and the foster kids upstairs and PJ and the restaurant below, day-to-day life has turned into out-and-out competition—with some seriously flirtatious hallway encounters on the side. Turns out in this competition, it's not just the house on the line, it's their hearts.
I think this is the year of the youngest child in books. This is the second book this year I've read that has focused on the youngest and I can relate so well to how they feel and understand the struggles they deal with.
PJ has been known to be a bit flighty growing up, but that has changed. She's gone to culinary school and has flourished. A historic home has been calling to her. She is desperate for the contract to turn this gorgeous place into a restaurant with a Bed and Breakfast attached. She's all set to go, everything is ready, her presentation has been spit-polished basically. However, she has competition. A very hard headed one, literally and figuratively.
Cole has a past that haunts him. He doesn't want to let anyone close, except for the kids he cares for. He desperately wants kids in the foster system to have the best chance possible and he knows if they are kicked out at 18, that isn't going to happen. He's desperate for this historic house and turn it into a home for transition.
Cole and PJ are both strong willed and they know what they want. It's interesting to see how they work things out as this story progresses and the battles they fight, not with each other, but with themselves. They both have pasts that seem to follow behind. Some are mental, while others are very real and can touch and out running them proves harder then expected, and it's from these trials, PJ and Cole learn so much about each other.
I have really come to enjoy these family based series. We are able to stick with these families as they grown and learn. In the Wishing Season, we were able to get caught up on the other family members as well and I love seeing how these siblings interact.
Denise Hunter not only has a wonderful talent for writing, but she is able to weave such realistic and at times heart wrenching truths into her story.
I can't wait for the next book in this series, I still need to go back and read the first...thankfully though, even though they are a series, the books can work as a standalone.


MONTREAL—A former SNC-Lavalin executive and his lawyer had obstruction of justice charges against them stayed Friday on the grounds it took too long to bring the case to trial.
After Bebawi found out he was being investigated, he allegedly asked Kyres to travel to Switzerland and offer to pay off Ben Aissa, Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer Court wrote in a summary of the obstruction case. In exchange, Bebawi wanted Ben Aissa to offer authorities a version of events that would exonerate him.
Bebawi and Kyres were charged with obstruction of justice in 2014. A stay of proceedings was issued in February 2018 after evidence was ruled inadmissible, but the charges were reinstated by direct indictment last May. The trial had not begun, and it would have been more than 60 months after charges were laid before it concluded.
The defendants invoked the Supreme Court of Canada's 2016 Jordan decision, which set limits on how long a criminal cases can take, and Cournoyer agreed. The judge said Crown prosecutors did not show that the delays in the case were reasonable.
Cournoyer wrote that even after the Jordan ruling, the case against Bebawi and Kyres "remained forgotten" for more than 11 months.
Bebawi is still facing charges including fraud and bribery of a public official in relation to SNC-Lavalin's dealings with the regime of the late Libyan dictator, Moammar Gadhafi. The trial is upcoming. Ben Aissa has given statements to authorities implicating Bebawi in the Libyan bribery scheme, Cournoyer wrote.
The remaining case against Bebawi stems from the same Project Assistance investigation that led to charges against SNC-Lavalin in 2015. Those charges continue to fuel controversy in Ottawa following a report that the Prime Minister's Office pressured former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to help the company avoid criminal prosecution.
Crown prosecutor Benoit Robert said he will analyze the decision before deciding whether to appeal.

Q: floating element extends past footer I am working on making a "school" type website which will have a secondary navigation contained within the "classroom" pages. I have the secondary navigation setup as an accordion which is contained within  and  tags. The aside element is set to a fixed position using the css aside { position: absolute; height: 700px;}. The issue that I am having is that my  section is sitting in the middle of my  section. I have tried using the css property of clear: both; for the footer section but this has no effect.

The relevant css code is:
#footerContain {
    clear: both;
}
aside {
    font-family: Cambria, "Hoefler Text", "Liberation Serif", Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    margin: 2% 2% 6% 0%;
    padding-right: 3%;
    position: absolute;
    border-radius: 7px;
    top: 165px;
    width: 20%;
    height: 900px;
}
section {
    margin-left: 23%;
}

here is a jsFidle example of what I am getting: https://jsfiddle.net/Dragoonman/1rx6dchc/
Any and all help figuring this one out would be great.

A:

Main Div

Section

Aside

Footer

A: Take a look at here for possible solutions:
1- You need to set a height which matches your section.
height: 350px;

2- Set the overflow on the aside (either to hidden or scroll)
 overflow-y: hidden;

2- set the right top for your asside
top: 20px;

And that's it.

A: Maybe something like:

* {
 box-sizing: border-box;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}
.container {
 width: 100%;
}
.row {
 width: 100%;
 overflow: auto;
}
aside {
 width: 20%;
 background-color: red;
 float: left;
}
section {
 margin-left:20%;
 width: 80%;
 background-color: blue;
 vertical-align: top;
}
#footerContain {
 width: 100%;
 height: 200px;
 background-color: grey;
}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis tempor ipsum in auctor commodo. Vestibulum non erat imperdiet mi malesuada interdum. In odio ante, luctus id eros non, vestibulum dictum ex. Mauris ac sagittis nisl. Maecenas non facilisis velit. Maecenas accumsan elit sed sem sagittis laoreet. Aenean eu luctus nisl. Praesent bibendum, dolor ut elementum posuere, lectus ex sagittis risus, nec lacinia est mauris ut magna. Nam vestibulum, mi nec tempor lacinia, libero odio euismod augue, et volutpat purus dui in quam.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis tempor ipsum in auctor commodo. Vestibulum non erat imperdiet mi malesuada interdum. In odio ante, luctus id eros non, vestibulum dictum ex. Mauris ac sagittis nisl. Maecenas non facilisis velit. Maecenas accumsan elit sed sem sagittis laoreet. Aenean eu luctus nisl. Praesent bibendum, dolor ut elementum posuere, lectus ex sagittis risus, nec lacinia est mauris ut magna. Nam vestibulum, mi nec tempor lacinia, libero odio euismod augue, et volutpat purus dui in quam. Vestibulum aliquet dui at nulla volutpat, quis aliquam nulla viverra. Quisque in sapien sit amet tortor sagittis congue. Quisque magna odio, pharetra porta volutpat consequat, molestie sed lacus. Nam eget massa diam. Praesent accumsan ante nisl, in bibendum lorem ullamcorper a. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Integer id magna ut purus maximus aliquam eget in quam.

Whatever element is bigger, aside or section, pushes the footer down, so it can grow as needed.

A: You can use "clear: both" when you have floating elements. In this case, I recommend you setup min-height 100vh (which is the screen height) in the body and use position:absolute in the footer element.
body { min-height: 100vh; }
#footerContain {position: absolute; bottom: 0;}

If you want full width footer:
#footerContain {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  display block;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 0 20px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  height: 30px;
  line-height: 30px;
}

A: *

*Reduce gap between aside and title.
top: 20px;

*Set height property of aside
height: 100%;

*Set overflow-y property of aside
overflow-y: scroll;

*increase section margin to accommodate scroll bar
margin-left: 25%;

These edits put the footer under the aside and lets the user scroll through the aside no matter how long it gets. Hope this helps.

Stacey Abrams Says She Won't Run For The Senate Next Year

Former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has announced she's not running for Senate in 2020.
In an interview with WABE she said she's decided she's not the right person to challenge Republican Sen. David Perdue next year.
"It's not about winning an election, it's about being the right person for the work," she said. "And so I'm going to do my best to make certain that the right person is elected.
"Ultimately my responsibility was to figure out if this is the job I want to do. There's the excitement of the moment, the excitement of the campaign, but fundamentally standing for office is about willing to do the work."
Abrams admitted she began the process "not terribly interested in the Senate. I appreciate the role the legislature plays but my best moments I believe have usually been when I've been building systems and really creating policies that can directly affect and change the concerns that I have."
As for whether she will make a bid for the White House?
"And I will keep giving thought to other opportunities, but for me the immediate question was whether the Senate was the right next step and it is not," she said.
Abrams said she does see herself in an executive branch role, whether that means the White House or the Georgia governor's mansion. She cited her experience leading organizations, companies and the minority caucus of the Georgia House of Representatives.
"I do believe that I'm more effective in those roles, and I think the challenges and the issues that I see before us, my contribution is best served not by running for the Senate," she said.
She lost the governor's race last fall by about 55,000 votes, the closest margin in recent state history and started an organization called Fair Fight Action that is challenging the state's voting system in federal court.
Abrams has become a national political figure since the governor's race, meeting with many presidential hopefuls and national Democratic politicians. She said she's confident they are considering Georgia a battleground state in 2020.
"I think you need only look at how many of the early candidates have held events in Georgia, are planning to come to Georgia," she said. "But I also think just a review of the electoral college signals how important Georgia is."
While she declined to provide a timeline about a White House decision, she said will continue working in Georgia, while pushing her voting rights platform nationally.
Her news opens the path wide for other Democratic challengers against Sen. Perdue. Teresa Tomlinson, former mayor of Columbus, already announced an exploratory committee, conditional upon Abrams not running.

Some photographs of what should be the new Russian drone were released on "Twitter". Pics that would have been "stolen" at Novosibirsk airport in Siberia, where last November the UAV was tested on the ground to assess the effective ability to reach the speed needed for take-off. If the photographs were confirmed, the Okhotnik would have a similar shape to the prototype of the US drone Northrop Grumman X-47B and would be powered by a motor with afterburner identical to that of the fifth generation Sukhoi Su-57.
During the first half of 2019 the Russian combat drone should make its first flight, so as to allow an assessment of the capabilities and improvements to be made to the Okhotnik which is under development since 2012. The entry into service would be expected for 2020, as long as the program is actually truthful, partly because it has been repeatedly stated by US analysts that the whole project is actually a hoax, lacking both Russia's skills and economic and financial resources to be able to develop a drone with these capabilities.

The company operates a centralised revenue management department in Berlin, which includes 30 young and motivated talents managing, maximizing and optimizing revenues for the various properties.
We caught up with Deniel Frey, VP of Revenue Management, to talk about channel management, e-commerce and being optimised for Google, and bringing all departments together in a cohesive Revenue Strategy.
Q: With a centralised revenue team, does this help you work closer with other departments?
Frey: We believe that the only possibility to focus on total revenue management is to align one strategy across all revenue generating departments.
Some hotel companies are incentivizing each department individually, which from our point of view is counterproductive as no one is taking responsibility for the business. Our sales and revenue teams are discussing and analysing every inquiry together, but in the end, it's the revenue department which is taking the decision.
Q: What is your approach to channel management? How are you driving direct business?
Frey: Nowadays everyone is complaining about high commission costs generated by third-party distribution, but I firmly believe that the key to success is channel optimization. It is not about shifting bookings towards the direct distribution, it is optimizing revenues through every individual channel as it's hard to change a customer's booking behaviour.
Q: How do you use data to personalise the booking experience?
Frey: We are currently building our own CRM system, which will help us to personalize the booking from A to Z and I believe that Duetto will have an important role in this process.
Q: What else are you doing with e-commerce and marketing to remain competitive?
Frey: E-commerce and marketing are important revenue drivers for us and together with revenue management all three departments go hand-in-hand to guarantee success. Revenue management manages demand, but also identifies need periods in time and, together with marketing and e-commerce, works to take timely and effective actions.
I believe that every revenue manager needs to have insight into e-commerce and marketing to understand the whole picture and the whole business. Nowadays it's not just managing demand, it's much more about creating demand and stimulating demand.
We focus on social media marketing, offline marketing, affiliate marketing, newsletter campaigns, etc. And at present, our co-focus at the moment is our CRM system, which will help us to change our e-commerce and marketing strategy completely.
Q: Talking of e-commerce, what's your approach to being optimized for Google?
Frey: We know that 96% of all clicks hit the first four spots on Google's search engine results page, so firstly, the hotel needs to make sure they are on top of this ranking. Secondly, the hotels are the ones that are owning the brands, so they should be the ones bidding on the brand and not the OTAs, for example.
Google has access to a large amount of data and can use this data to personalize a customer's journey. This data will be used to direct the customer to the restaurant, to the hotel, to the destination of his preference, as Google knows exactly what we want. I believe that the manual search processes will become less and less, and the sooner the travel industry realizes this trend, the better we can participate into it.
Q: How well do you think your company is prepared for a downturn in any of its markets, and how do you think you're going to win in those markets?
Frey: We believe that proper technology, speed, flexibility, and market insights will help us to maintain our market share and our revenues. And we believe that Duetto will support us in that during difficult times.

Several people have asked me about setting up a forum on their website recently, so I thought it might be helpful to cover this topic for the benefit of all my subscribers.
For those that don't know, a forum is simply a web page which allows visitors to interact with each other by leaving messages and responding to messages made by other users.
Ok, so why might you want to put a forum on your website?
2. It can save you time. I get emails everyday asking for advice on many different aspects of running a business and I simply don't have time to answer them all. If I am a bit pushed for time, I often direct the sender of the email to my forum since I know that their question has either been answered before or because I know that another member may be able to help them.
3. A good forum can get your customers/subscribers to love you! Ok, maybe that is a slight exaggeration BUT if your customers are able to ask questions, get help, build relationships with other people with similar interests and even advertise their own businesses on your forum, it won't do you any harm especially if you offer all of this for free.
4. Free search engine traffic. Search engines love regularly updated websites with relevant content. If you have an active forum with a specific topic of discussion, then you may well find that your forum postings are soon appearing in the free search engine results on Google and other popular engines.
5. An excellent source of new ideas. Forums are a superb resource when you are trying to think of new ideas for products to sell or create or new services to provide. They also give members the opportunity to brainstorm their own ideas with other, like-minded individuals. I have personally obtained numerous ideas for newsletters and other articles from posts made within my forum.
6. Forums can earn you (and your fellow members) money! Forums are like any other web page in that you can advertise products that may be relevant to your visitors, such as your own products or services or those that you are affiliated with. In addition, if you wish, you can allow your members to advertise their products and services either by way of a 'signature file' at the bottom of each post they make or within a specific forum board provided for the purpose of advertising.
7. Finally, owning or participating in a forum is FUN 🙂 Discussing and debating the topics that are close to your heart with other people that share the same interest is fun and it is amazing how you can pick up on an individual's personality simply by the messages that they write. In the impersonal world of the Internet, forums are an excellent way to get some 'real' human contact.
So how do you install a forum on your site?
There are countless scripts available that you can simply install on your web hosting server and that will set up and run a forum for you. All have step by step instructions and the scripts are often available free of charge (you can usually upgrade to a more advanced version if you pay a license fee). I will detail a few useful links in a moment.
However, if you are not comfortable installing scripts or would just prefer to take the easy option, then you should consider buying an 'all-in-one' hosting and forum package. I recently moved my own forum to such a package and I have no hesitation in recommending this option.
I use a forum software script called Invision Power Board and I have my forum hosted with Invision. They dealt with the installation and set up and also deal with any technical issues or problems that may arise at any time.
Invision offer a range of hosting packages and prices start from just $10 per month all in. Further details about the Invision range of products from: http://www.invisionboard.com. If you prefer to host your Invision Board on your existing hosting, they do offer a free download of the forum script so you can set your forum up for nothing.
I know that the vast majority of you are reading this newsletter because you are interested in earning an income online. Because of this interest and because of the amount of time that many of us spend on the Internet and playing with computers, it stands to reason that, over time, we will build up a greater knowledge of computing than the 'average' home user.
It occurred to me some time ago that this knowledge could be put to good use by offering to repair/troubleshoot other people's computer problems or provide basic training on how to use their computers and the Internet. However, because of the fact that I am kept very busy with my own existing business, I have never had the time to put my theory into practice.
I shared my idea with a friend that was looking for a bit of extra income. This is a friend that has a reasonable knowledge of computers gained from his own experience over the past couple of years. He has certainly never worked in any form of IT.
I convinced my friend to put a few adverts around our local area (in shop windows etc) offering exactly the service that I have described above. I have to say that advertising in shop windows is not exactly what I would call an aggressive advertising strategy BUT within a couple of days, he had picked up no less than five jobs!
Each of these 'jobs' were fairly straightforward (virus removal/re-installation of Windows etc) and he was able to charge an hourly rate of £30/$55 which isn't bad going.
Of course, now he sees the potential, my friend is going to step up the advertising campaign.


"I first met Sarah when she was volunteering at a Center on Contemporary Art of Seattle event. We quickly became friends and I have had the pleasure of mentoring Sarah. Within that short time, I have seen her creative skills and confidence grow. As an artist, she has a natural ability to visualize a concept in her head and put it on any substrate. With her passion for live painting events, Sarah has developed the ability to create, be vulnerable and feel relaxed in high pressure situations."
"Sarah is a terrific artist and an outstanding addition to any live event. Her paintings capture the spirit and soul of events. She is extremely easy to work with. My clients love her work!"
"With a sponge and brush, she pulled the stars from the sky and held them on display for us that night."

L'oscar London
L'oscar London
L'oscar London is a lavish boutique hotel in the heart of Holborn, set within the former Baptist Church headquarters. This turn-of-the-century, grade II listed, architectural gem has been extravagantly restored by world-leading décorateur, Jacques Garcia and the operating company, L'oscar International. It features 39 bedrooms, a restaurant, café and bar.

Inaria was appointed by the visionary hotelier, Duncan Shakeshaft, shortly after the dilapidated – but astonishing – building had been purchased. The challenge was to create a modern and seductive brand based on the hedonistic lifestyle of Oscar Wilde and the Bloomsbury Set, together with the visually-charged designs of Jacques Garcia. From the start, the brief was to create a unique and compelling brand for the hotel and the dining venues contained within.
We started by creating a calligraphic logotype inspired by Oscar Wilde's signature, and commissioned Illustrator Maria Montes to create a series of intricate feather illustrations to reflect the bird motifs used throughout the interior design. After defining the brand strategy and the supporting identity elements, we created all of the graphic material for the hotel, restaurant and café, including the signage and the brand's sales & marketing collateral.

The game finally gained a sequel, titled Clash Royale , which contains some parts from this game, but is a much different sport from it. Kill It with Fire : Inferno Towers on single-goal mode are tailored to eradicate meat shields. Not even a Golem or Lava Hound can get up in opposition to their fireplace for long. In addition they block all healing effects except those of the Heroes. I know there was lots of hate about Supercell being greedy, however the GBP has just been getting weaker over the past month compared to the USD, so Apple did modify the costs. Not really replace data, however a safety gap in vBulletin, the software that Supercell uses for his or her official discussion board, let attackers steal about half the user logins with encrypted passwords.
Airborne Mooks : Balloons, Healers, Dragons, Baby Dragons, Minions, Lava Hounds, and the Grand Warden hero fly out of the reaches of floor models and walls. Your fort shall be a sitting duck if it lacks anti air. The one issues left would be the laboratory for upgrading troops, spell manufacturing unit for added offensive power, and gold mines for upgrading constructions. Since matchmaking is predicated on trophy rely, some players intentionally maintain theirs low to allow them to clear up against lower-stage players, so be careful about which fights you choose early on. If you wish to farm gamers which might be lower level than you, intentionally lose trophies by raiding with a single unit.
Witches have low well being, but can summon limitless hordes of skeletons to overwhelm forts. Air Bombs are bombs that focus on aerial troops. Looking for Air Mines develop into out there when your Town Corridor is stage 7 where in distinction to the former that offers low however splash harm, the latter damages just one however a huge one at that. Very efficient towards Elite Mooks like Dragons, Child Dragons, Lava Hounds and perhaps surprisingly, a flying Grand Warden.

There are a ton of pay to win games that are terrible, and people must be avoided, but for a recreation like PvZ2 or Clsah of Clans that do it right, They're worth the time.

It was a short and prim book all in all. The title 'STAR' really suits the book, eventhough Spencer's life stole pages and pages from the book.

I was like "Nah". But later it became OK. You'll see it. I liked her when Spencer first met her. She was all intelligent and beautiful and smart. Well, that made us dislike her later. He loved her. He really really loved her.
In the middle part, I doubted he did ' Reading the first 50 pages was a bit boring 'cuz it was all about how beautiful and graceful Crystal was. In the middle part, I doubted he did 'cuz he was really indecisive. As you see, I suck at reviews during these days. Review slump? Kind of, maybe.
But I must confess I stayed up til 3 AM just to finish this bookie. View 2 comments. May 31, Marla rated it really liked it.

Crystal makes it big as a Hollywood star. When the characters meet again they realize they are destined to be together. However, there's a lot of suffering on the way.

Can you believe that one? Aug 03, Rekha rated it did not like it Shelves: My friends and I, when we were freshman in college, got a hold of a copy of this book and read it aloud to each other each night, a chapter at a time, and we laughed until we wanted to die every single night.
It was good times. Oct 11, Mildred Rupert rated it it was amazing. Great read, love the characters of Crystal and Spencer. Another heart touching book!

I've read quiet a few books of Danielle Steel and i've cried and laugh a lot with most of them, but sadly this wasn't one of the finest works from Mrs.
I feel that the story needed a little more of strenght, it was a little more predictable that it should have when you've read a lot you kindda see it comming. But even though, it is a nice read.

If you liked this book you'll really enjoy other books from her such as: I really enjoyed this book, though I don't agree with some of the choices that the characters made. Steel repeats herself constantly, telling us over and over how beautiful Crystal is, as if we'd forget that she, or any of Steel's characters for that matter, are anything but stunningly beautiful.
But overall a great read about one woman's ability to survive. Apr 12, Anie rated it it was amazing Shelves: A nice love story about a girl who wanted to become a Hollywood star. The problems and bad people she had to face which is a reality. It's the harsh reality shown that is often seen in this stream. The guy is involved in the military and the two people are not able to meet until the end but thank god, it was it was a happy ending that kept the good mood.
I liked the story, classic Danielle Steel where two people can't be together for whatever reason but it all works out in the end.
I saw another review on here where somebody remarked on her repeating herself on numerous occasions as if she's trying to pad the book out, which I totally agree with - that's the only downer really.
Dec 23, Umang rated it liked it. It was a little harsh what happened to the girl but I guess that's sort of reality. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Danielle Steel - I think it's one of her best.
I enjoyed it all the way through and I didn't want it to end. It was great. Feb 07, Brandy rated it it was ok Shelves: This book started out much butter than it ended. Parts of her books are so believable and then it spins off in to the fantasy world.
It also seemed rushed towards the end. It was an ok book though. Sep 02, Sarah rated it really liked it Shelves: This is a great book about multiple personality disorder. It was really fascinating to me to hear about a girl that dealt with a trauma and how that developed into MPD. I would definately recommend this book. Jun 24, Emilie rated it liked it. I read this when I was 13 and it was my favorite book then, but I doubt I would still love it as much. Sin embargo y pese a que parezca lo contrario, existen varios errores en el libro.
Por otra parte, el libro recalca demasiado en un inicio la belleza de Crystal, tanto que es molesto.
There were many years wasted in Crystal's and Spencer's love story and even the happy ending didn't satisfy me, I felt like it was rushed. I wanted the author to talk more about Spencer's and Crystal's life after he found out about his son, their marriage and what will happen to their careers??
And I think that even clarifying Crystal's name would be better even for their careers for example after years of Ernie's murder, a bussiness man suspected of corruption was caught and he will eventually admit the culpability of Ernie's murder. Like that it will be a happy and a fair ending for all without extending the problem for years and years like Danielle Steel had done I didn't like how Zeb lived for seven years without knowing his father.
I didn't like also Brian's and Crystal's affair ,I wanted them to be best friends and good companions nothing more than that. Nov 16, Divya rated it it was ok. In Danielle Steel's "Star", the author has tried to bring out the story of a young girl with a big dream of becoming a Hollywood star.
Love blooms when she meets the hero for the first time but the chain of unfortunate events occur after her father's death. First of all, the blurb of the story deceived the actual content inside. Danielle steel had tried to touch the emotional side of a reader, which might not be successful with all.

The story could have been much crispier and written with better In Danielle Steel's "Star", the author has tried to bring out the story of a young girl with a big dream of becoming a Hollywood star. The story could have been much crispier and written with better emotions. However, the plot is simple and tedious. The style of writing was at snail's pace which turned it unintriguing.
To be outspoken, this might not give a good impression for the first read of Danielle steel's collections. Oct 16, Emi Halili rated it really liked it. It shows, struggle, love, heartbreak and ache but victory in the end. This book will make you smile, cry and frustrated at different points.

PRE-ORDER THEIR 11TH STUDIO ALBUM 'THE PARADIGM SHIFT'
AND PURCHASE "NEVER NEVER" BEGINNING
'THE PARADIGM SHIFT' TO LAND IN STORES OCTOBER 8
ON PROSPECT PARK
Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum hard rock innovators KORN have debuted the lead single–"Never Never," from their 11th studio album, THE PARADIGM SHIFT–today (August 9) on their Facebook page. "Like" KORN on Facebook and stream the new track here: http://bit.ly/NeverNeverFB
Beginning Tuesday, August 13, fans will be able to pre-order THE PARADIGM SHIFT–in stores and via digital retailers on October 8, 2013 on Prospect Park–and purchase the single "Never Never." The album from KORN—Jonathan Davis [Vocals], James "Munky" Shaffer [Guitar], Brian "Head" Welch [Guitar], Reggie "Fieldy" Arvizu [Bass] and Ray Luzier [Drums]–will be available in standard and deluxe editions, with the deluxe showcasing two bonus tracks and a documentary DVD titled Reconciliation.
The first single "Never Never" features slow hulking beat stomps into screeching electronics before bleeding out on a bouncy chorus evocative of the swooping prowess of "Got the Life" and "Freak on a Leash." "It was an amazing night when we finished that song," says frontman JONATHAN DAVIS. "It's a relationship song. You go through that shit and you get hurt so bad. Then you think, 'It's not worth it anymore. I'm not going to fucking love again.' You experience so many pressures to be a good dad, a good husband, a good lover, or whatever. Being in a relationship is a lot of work."
THE PARADIGM SHIFT marks the emotional return of co-founding guitarist Brian "Head" Welch for his first album with KORN since 2003's Take a Look in the Mirror, and it serves as the follow-up to the band's 2011 critically acclaimed trend-setting dubstep metal hybrid, The Path of Totality, which debuted Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and was named Revolver Magazine's "Album of the Year."
THE PARADIGM SHIFT is also KORN's first time working with super producer Don Gilmore [Linkin Park's The Hybrid Theory, etc.] who recorded the album with the band at Buck Owens' studio in their original hometown Bakersfield and at Los Angeles's famed NRG Recording Studios. They initially announced Head's return via a captivating clip on RollingStone.com and went on to discuss the reunion together in this in-depth interview on ARTISTdirect.com.
KORN have come a long way since their iconic self-titled debut, and they haven't stopped challenging themselves or heavy music. Why is that? It all goes back to that irreplaceable and inimitable bond. "Our bond is at its tightest," concludes HEAD. "Munky, Fieldy, Ray, Jonathan, and I strengthen each other. It's incredible having my friends back in my life. The fans are amazing. This is all for them. We have a gift, and we're giving it to them. They're uplifted by what we do. That's the biggest thing. There's nothing better than that." JONATHAN leaves off, "These are my brothers. We're doing exactly what we want to do. Yeah, this is a new chapter. This is also fucking Korn."
Be prepared for another staggering, seismic and soaring offering from KORN.

Rock of real ambition and history can never just be about nostalgia. For Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, the push forward continues decades after each band emerged from disparate underground rock scenes. And now the pair have teamed for their first co-headlining tour, which opened last night in Las Vegas, at the AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Borrowing the venue's big stage for a night from Britney Spears' ongoing residency at the 4,600-capacity room, NIN and Soundgarden took fans backward and into the new and unknown well beyond the radio hits.
NIN's set began with Trent Reznor suddenly marching alone to a bare, starkly lit stage with no fanfare or introduction. Standing beside a light stand with a single burning bulb, the band leader leaned hard into a sequencer, looking like he was back to playing industrial warehouse parties. But the song was "Copy of A," an urgent new track from last year's Hesitation Marks album.
One by one, the rest of the band joined him, pounding at their instruments, their shadows looming large and ominous against the white curtain behind them. It was just the opening scene from a night of increasingly intense and complex stagecraft.
As he sang 1994's wounded and defiant "Piggy" at the foot of the stage, a crew member held a light close to Reznor's face during a gospel-like hum on synths. "Nothing can stop me now," sang Reznor, who then played a piano melody in the playfully broken style of essential Bowie (and NIN) sideman Mike Garson. On 1989's "Terrible Lie," Reznor sang nearly a cappella before erupting with a storm of guitar and electronics.
Fans shouted along as loudly to non-radio hits, but the set-closing "Hurt" cut especially deep, as Reznor sang his words of self-loathing and broken humanity accompanied by images of dangerous animals mingled with footage of nuclear explosions, executions and concentration camps. It was a fittingly bleak and timeless message for a terrible week around the globe.
Earlier, Soundgarden began their set with the slash and grind of 1991's "Searching With My Good Eye Closed," with Kim Thayil riffing deep into the grunge as Ben Shepherd wandered the aisles with his bass, and red storm clouds roiled across the big screen. It was molten rock with a postpunk sensibility, a sound that two decades before had epitomized a new voice and generation.
The intervening years were nowhere in his voice or presence, still rock god trim in long hair and goatee, his wail on a tense "Spoonman" sharp and muscular. To his right was Thayil, in a Mastodon T-shirt and a cap pulled over his ponytail, leaning into his amps for blasts of melody and feedback. Thunderous beats were delivered by Matt Chamberlain, filling in for Matt Cameron, currently on the road for his other job, Pearl Jam.
Not surprisingly, the heart of Soundgarden's set were songs from Superunknown, the band's multi-platinum breakthrough album in 1994, which they've performed in full (and in order) at least twice this year in celebration of its 20th anniversary reissue. But on Saturday, the band was more alive and better paced with a mixed, wider-ranging set stretching from its late-Eighties grunge birth to their 2012 reunion album, King Animal.
"Fell on Black Days" shimmered with a darkness appropriate to real world events now and forever, closing with a blast of staccato guitar from Thayil. Also from Superunknown came the Sabbath grime of "Let Me Drown," a sweeping atmospheric "Like Suicide" and a "My Wave" as heavy as it was melodic, equally ready for the arena and pop radio.
"Black Hole Sun" unfurled with Cornell in silhouette plucking the grim opening melody on his guitar, his voice rising as the big screen depicted open fields of nature slowly overtaken by gray industrial blight. There were hints of Spanish guitar within the speedy flurry of notes in Thayil's ascending patterns on "A Thousand Days Before" (from King Animal), as Cornell led a wail and response with the crowd, swaying to the music, carrying the mic stand with him.
Soon after, Soundgarden closed with 1988's "Beyond the Wheel," as Shepherd dug deeper into the groove, crouching with his bass and clawing at the strings. When a crew member ran to him, Shepherd shoved him back, then kicked over one of his own monitors, before pushing over his wall of amps and exiting. Thayil ignited an undulating storm of feedback and waved goodbye as the noise continued, still roaring decades after it began.

On Wednesday, Larian Studios LLC launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for its already highly anticipated video game, Divinity: Original Sin 2. Originally seeking to raise $500,000, the project captured over $700,000 within 24 hours.
The game is currently in development for PC in English and subtitles will be available in German, French and Russian. Other gaming platforms and subtitle languages might be announced at a later stage.
"The theme of Divinity: Original Sin 2 is how your origins affect who you are and what chances you get in life. At the start of the game, you pick a single character and determine your starting stats, race, and origin story.
"You'll be able to recruit up to three companions, each of whom is just as detailed as the character you're playing, with their own origin story and motivation to help you in your quest. This makes it possible for each companion to become a player character in multiplayer mode; every party member is equally important to the whole.
"In multiplayer, up to 4 players can play together, either cooperatively or competitively. During competitive questing, you'll pursue different plot-lines from other players, often because your personal motivations are in conflict with those of the party.
"You are all amazing! Who would've predicted that a pitch built around adding extra dialog options & origin stories to a complex RPG would be capable of mobilizing so many people so fast? For RPG developers like us it's like a dream come true. You are allowing us to create deep complex RPG experiences that we love to make and we're so very grateful to all of you!
The game can be purchased through the campaign for the price of $25. The campaign is set to close on September 30th.

19 Apr 2018 --- Food allergy is triggered by perfect storm of genetics and skin exposure to infant wipes, dust and food, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study. Infant and childhood food allergy, whose cause has long been a mystery, has now been linked to a mix of environmental and genetic factors that must coexist to trigger the allergy. The factors contributing to food allergy include the genetics that alter skin absorbency, use of infant cleansing wipes that leave soap on the skin, skin exposure to allergens in dust and skin exposure to food from those providing infant care. Food allergy is triggered when these factors occur together.
Food allergies are on the rise and affect an estimated 4 to 6 percent of children in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The prevalence of reported food allergy increased 18 percent among children under age 18 years from 1997 to 2007. Recent data also show hospitalizations with diagnoses related to food allergies have increased among children.
The good news is factors leading to food allergy can be modified in the home environment, says lead study researcher Joan Cook-Mills, a professor of allergy-immunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Cook-Mills made the discovery by using clinical evidence about food allergy in humans, the effects of food allergen and environmental allergen exposures and neonatal mice with genetic mutations that occur in humans.
Clinical evidence shows up to 35 percent of children with food allergies have atopic dermatitis and much of that is explained by at least three different gene mutations that reduce the skin barrier.
Cook-Mills used a neonatal mouse model with skin barrier mutations and tried exposing its skin to food allergens like peanuts. The peanuts alone had no effect.
Next, she read about skin research studies that delivered compounds through the skin by using soap and realized the significance of infant wipes.
The top skin layer is made of lipids (fats), and the soap in the wipes disrupts that barrier, Cook-Mills explains. Skin problems that occur with skin barrier mutations may not be visible until long after a food allergy has already started. The neonatal mice with the mutations had normal-appearing skin, and the dry itchy skin of dermatitis did not develop until the mice were a few months old, the equivalent of a young adult in human years.
After the neonatal mice received three to four skin exposures of food and dust allergens for 40 minutes during a two-week period, they were given egg or peanut by mouth. The mice had allergic reactions at the site of skin exposure, allergic reactions in the intestine, and the severe allergic food reaction of anaphylaxis that is measured by decreased body temperature.
A skin barrier dysfunction was necessary for food allergy to develop in the mice, but there is a wide continuum of severe to mild skin dysfunction with eczema or atopic dermatitis, which in its mildest form may simply appear to be dry skin.
In patients with skin-barrier defects, there are changes in the proteins in the skin that are a result of mutations in the genes. These gene mutations in patients are primarily heterozygous, which means there is a mutation in one of the two copies of a gene.
Accordingly, in the preclinical studies, neonatal mice were also heterozygous for skin barrier mutations. The mice were co-exposed to food allergens such as egg and peanut proteins, allergens in dust (house dust mite or Alternaria alternata mold) and sodium lauryl sulfate, a soap present in infant cleansing wipes.
She is currently studying molecular responses in the skin that are unique to this combination of genetics and skin exposures. The goal is to determine unique signals in the skin that occur during development of food allergy. This will lead to approaches to intervene with those skin signals and block the development of food allergy.
