The Supreme Court held, unsurprisingly and unanimously, that the affirmative defense of trademark fair use does not place a burden on the defendant to prove that his use was not only descriptive, but also unlikely to cause consumer confusion.
By the way, want to guess which Circuit Court the Supreme overturned?
Your headline says that confusion trumps fair use, but it seems to me that the ruling is the other way around. Didn't the court rule that an affirmative defense of fair use makes confusion irrelevant?
I fixed it. Thanks, Ronnie.


ERIN MARTIN OF MORRIS BEARD…MAY JUST BE THE ONE!
There are a many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The Martin family should be real thankful. They have a daughter who one day will be the apple of college coaches everywhere. Erin Martin of Morris Beard High School is not just going to be special, she already is one of the best 2021 packages, I know. In fact her upside just may be the biggest upside of any player in the 2021 class...I think she's that good and the Martin family should be very happy nobody has caught on yet.
Recently coaches received a cheat Sheet with the name Erin Martin in it. I told college coaches she is a future D1 lock. There is only so much you can put in 4 lines when talking about a player. What I didn't tell coaches in that sheet is this, if you ask me to name three 2021 players I want to recruit right now, she is one of them. If you asked me named the 5 best 2021 players I seen this fall. She is in the top 3 and that is not just talk folks. Ask me if I had to play a college game with just 2021 players right now. Folks she is in the conversation. Finally while coaches will spend hours watching high school and AAU games this season. One name better be on your list, and she better be a major priority. Erin Martin could easily make a case as the 2nd or 3rd best 2021 in the shore conference and that my friends is real talk. The package she brings to the table is rare stuff and what's scary is that she has not even touched the surface of what she will become. One of the most recruited players in the 2021 class and today I am going to tell you why.
I met Erin Martin at a NBS camp a few years ago. She blew me away with her toughness, and size. Her skills sets, competitive nature and constant effort made me realize she was different. I see her now and she's not the 5'11" guard I met. I can't believe how much she has grown and improved over 2 years. She at times looks like a baby colt not so sturdy on her legs. I see her shoot bombs from almost half court and shake my head. It's clear the consistency is not there yet. But the potential is just off the page. When you see her pass out of the post, you wonder how such a young player a can have this skill set. No young player I know has mastered this skill set, like her. But when you see her spiriting the lane at her size, you have to be impressed. But it's when she catches the ball on the dead run and can gather herself and make a elite decision, is when you know she is special. Here is something I know to be 100% true, no player regardless of position in the 2021 class, I know of right now….is a better decision maker. She is absolutely brilliant. I would trust her with the ball in any tough spot. When I told you, she was different I was not joking.
Erin Martin 2021 https://t.co/6htZS7qG7b via @YouTube She just may be the player, you want most before it's all said and done!
Erin Martin, has a huge advantage, that others with her special talents don't. She does not have a target on her back. She doesn't have to do anything ego related to valid her talents yet. She doesn't have to play on a so called "IT" team or Sneaker company team to build her reputation or satisfy her ego. She can slide under the radar and make real development decisions. She can train, without others pulling on her coat strings. She can make mistakes and not have it become a story. She won't have folks debating how good she REALLY IS…she will be able to grow in the dark of night and not have the pressure that's comes with being very talented. Erin Martin can sneak up on people and have them say where did she come from?….did I mention she plays for Morris Beard High School? They won't be ranked or make the papers every week. Erin Martin, is in the perfect storm for DEVELOPMENT. She will not have or need hype and fanfare…what she will have, is her god given size, length, athleticism and work ethic. The sky is the limit for Erin Martin and I have a funny feeling, she is going to be every coaches dream. Humble, ego free, dedicated and not spoiled by the trappings….she a very lucky young lady.
I have watched Erin Martin crushed the some so called baby studs. I notice at NBS how everyone wants her on their team first at NBS. I noticed she doesn't care about hype and all that stuff. I notice she never misses a session at NBS. I noticed this summer she was at NBS camp EVERY DAY AND NEVER ONCE wanted anything, not earned. She was the only 2021 to make the main court everyday. But more than anything else, all fall I heard myself saying these words to her more than any other player….YOU ARE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GYM TODAY…OR YOUR GOING TO BE GREAT!
← DAY ONE of High School Practice….


Mike Ehredt salutes one of 2,300 flags he's placed in honor of veterans, who lost their life in Afghanistan.
Mike Ehredt is in Raymond today, a few steps closer to his ultimate destination - Galveston, Texas. On Oct. 19 he passed through Tupelo on his 2,300 mile journey.
Every mile Ehredt places a small America flag on the roadside. A little yellow banner is tied to each flag with the name, hometown, rank and age of a soldier, who lost their life in Afghanistan. He pauses for a moment, salutes the flag and moves on.
The 51-year-old veteran only wanted to see one thing in Tupelo.
"The only team I wanted to see play was the Bulldogs," Ehredt said and pulled a maroon Mississippi State cap out of the portable baby stroller, which he pushes. It contains snacks, changes of clothing and the flags.
He spent the night with Berryhill. At the end of the day's run the ranger will pick Ehredt up at Houston, bring him back, he'll spend another night and then he'll be dropped off at the exact spot he quit, to begin again.
"Mississippi has been one of the most receptive states, living up to their motto of being the hospitality state," he said.
Ehredt has passed through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi thus far.
Just about every day brings a memory or a favorite spot but so far it's a landmark just off the Trace, Bill Roper told him about. He stayed with the Ropers at their Fall Hollow Campground, in Hohenwald, Tenn.
"It was seeing this enormous wall that one guy built," Ehredt said.
The huge stone wall is dedicated to Te-lah-nay, an Yuchi Indian. It's over 12 feet thick and is made of tons of rocks from all 50 states, several countries (143), and one meteorite. The wall supposedly took 27 years to built, and during the course of the construction saw the end of 39 wheelbarrows and three pickup trucks.
It was easy to see why this impressed Ehredt.
Along the way people, with relatives serving in Afghanistan, have joined him walking or jogging as he passed near their home towns. He plans to hang up his shoes once he reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
The quiet, confident man turned his buggy south, tipped his cap and headed down the Trace — just another day at the office.


Jun Cha Woong was a student known for dedication to his studies, but last week became known as a hero after the 17-year-old gave up his life vest aboard a sinking South Korean ferry and then jumped into the icy water to help others.
Woong, a student at Danwon High School, was among the first official victims of the Sewol ferry sinking, which is believed to have killed as many as 270 people.
Investigators believe the South Korean ferry tilted so quickly that many aboard were unable to reach lifeboats to escape. The situation left many of the passengers trapped inside as the boat sank into the water.
"Please notify the coast guard. Our ship is in danger. The ship is rolling right now," a crew member on the ship told authorities as the ferry began to sink.
With the vessel going down quickly, many passengers who were able to leave their rooms and reach the deck were in desperate need of help. Others were thrown into the turbulent water.
Through this chaos, a picture has emerged of several heroic passengers who sacrificed their own lives to save those around them. One of those heroes was Jun Cha Woong, who reportedly gave up his life jacket to a friend. Woong then jumped into the water in an effort to help other passengers who were struggling, though Jun ultimately sank beneath the waves himself.
While the heroics of Jun Cha Woong may have saved lives, the ship's captain is being blamed for causing many other deaths with his cowardly behavior. Pictures emerged showing captain Lee Joon-seok boarding a life raft with other crew members as the ship was listing dangerously on its side with hundreds of passengers still trapped inside.
He has now been arrested and charged with five counts of negligence of duty in failing to help passengers.
But the story of Jun Cha Woong has been gaining publicity as well. The teen's sacrifice has been noted on several blogs, and his picture and a brief description of his life-saving efforts gained thousands of user votes on Reddit.

The development is in line with TCL?s vision of building local capabilities in order to better cater to the growing market demands for home entertainment solutions across the country.
China-based TV and consumer electronics maker TCL Electronics would set up a new manufacturing facility at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh as per an agreement signed with the state government. An MoU was signed last week in China between the representatives of IT & Electronics department of the state government and TCL, a statement issued by the company said. The development is in line with TCL's vision of building local capabilities in order to better cater to the growing market demands for home entertainment solutions across the country.
"The Tirupati unit will enable TCL to actively contribute towards the Make in India initiative by generating substantial employment opportunities for the country's young workforce, and will also fulfill the market demand for smart consumer electronics appliances in India," the company said. However, TCL Electronics has not shared the amount which it would invest in the proposed unit.
"Our partnership with the Andhra Pradesh government and the establishment of our Tirupati manufacturing unit would allow us to provide Indian consumers with innovative smart TVs driven by the latest cutting-edge QLED and AI technologies," TCL India Country Manager Mike Chen said.
TCL's announcement also underlines its plans to introduce several smart entertainment solutions within the Indian market designed to fulfill the country's growing young consumer base. TCL has a physical presence in over 80 countries globally. During January-June 2018, TCL Electronics' global LCD TV sales volume reached over 13.17 million, growing 37.2 per cent year-on-year.
The company also registered exceptional response in various global markets, with its overseas sales volumes increasing 44.4 per cent year-on-year to more than 8.28 million.

What to Know About Afluria (Influenza Vaccine) Jet Injector
More in Cold & Flu
Related Illnesses

Before Taking
Warnings & Interactions
Afluria is an influenza vaccine that can be administered with a jet injector using a high-pressure, narrow stream of liquid to penetrate the skin without the need for a needle. For people age 18 and up who dislike and/or fear injections or don't want vaccine sprayed up their nostrils, the jet injector offers an alternative method of flu vaccination.
Although the Afluria vaccine itself is approved for use in people 6 months and older, the jet injector is only approved for use in adults. Others must receive it via injection.

The Afluria flu vaccine is intended to prevent influenza. Like all vaccines, it works by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies that target and attack the specific disease-causing organism (in this case, the flu virus). By preemptively immunizing yourself, your body has the means to protect itself should it be exposed to the virus.
The make-up of the quadrivalent (four-in-one) flu vaccine changes from year to year depending on which variants (types) of influenza are predicted to be in circulation. Every year, two variants each of influenza A and influenza B are selected by an international panel for inclusion in the vaccine.
For the 2022-2023 flu season, the Afluria quadrivalent vaccine includes two influenza A variants of H1N1 (a.k.a. swine flu) and H3N2 and two influenza B variants of the so-called Victoria and Yamagata lineage.
All flu shots are inactivated vaccines, meaning that they contain killed viruses that do not cause disease but can still stimulate the intended immune response.
How Effective Are Flu Vaccines?
Originally indicated for people between the ages of 18 and 64, the Afluria vaccine was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018 for anyone 6 months or older.
However, this expansion only relates to the drug itself—not the mode of delivery. Although the Afluria vaccine can be delivered by syringe and needle to anyone 6 months to 64 years, the jet injector (called the PharmaJet) is only approved for use in people ages 18 to 64.
For this group of adults, Afluria delivered via jet injector has proven to be just as effective in preventing flu as traditional flu shots.
Afluria has no off-label uses and provides no protection against COVID-19, the common cold, or any other respiratory infection.
Do I Have Flu or COVID-19?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends annual influenza vaccination for everyone 6 months and older. There is no preference for any vaccine that has been approved for a person's age or health status.
Because Afluria is not a live-attenuated vaccine, there are no restrictions for use in women who are pregnant or people with weakened immune systems.
Afluria should be used with caution in people who have experienced Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) within six weeks of receiving a previous flu vaccine of any type. GBS is a potentially serious autoimmune disorder sometimes instigated by infections or the vaccines used to prevent them.
Afluria is not used in people 65 and over, who often have a less robust immune response to traditional flu vaccines. For people of this age group, Fluzone (a high-dose vaccine with four times the concentration of killed virus), Flublok (another high-dose option), or Fluad (a flu vaccine with an added immunostimulant) are the recommended options.
Who Should Not Get a Flu Shot
Other Influenza Vaccines
The Afluria vaccine is the only flu vaccine approved for use with the jet injector.
However, there are other five vaccine options delivered by different methods, including intramuscular injection (into a large muscle), intradermal injection (into the skin), and intranasally (into the nostril).
Fluad 65 years and older Intramuscular injection Inactivated
Fluarix 6 months and older Intramuscular injection Inactivated
Flublok 18 years and older Intramuscular injection Recombinant
Flucelvax 6 months and older Intramuscular injection Cell culture
FluLaval 6 months and older Intramuscular injection Inactivated
FluMist 2 years to 49 years Nasal spray Live attenuated
Fluzone 6 months and older Intramuscular injection Inactivated
Fluzone High-Dose 65 years and older Intramuscular injection Inactivated
Afluria is a sterile, clear vaccine that is colorless to slightly opalescent. The dosage varies by age and whether or not you have been vaccinated against the flu before. Children under 8 years of age who have never been vaccinated will need two shots given at least a month apart to ensure a robust immune response.
Age Group/Flu Vaccine History
Children 6 months to 35 years; never vaccinated Two 0.25-milliliter (mL) doses given at least four weeks apart
Children up to 35 months; previously vaccinated One 0.25-mL dose
Children 36 months to 8 years; never vaccinated Two 0.5-mL doses given at least four weeks apart
Children 36 months to 8 years; previously vaccinated One 0.5-mL dose
People 9 years and older One 0.5-mL dose
Irrespective of the vaccine type, you should receive the flu vaccine each year, preferably at the start of the flu season so you are protected throughout.
How Long Does a Flu Shot Last?
As with any drug or vaccine, side effects are possible with Afluria. Most are mild and transient and will resolve on their own within a day or so. In rare instances, severe side effects have been known to occur.
During clinical trials, the side effects of the Afluria vaccine by jet injector were similar to those administered by traditional injection.
Common side effects of Afluria reported in pre-market studies include (by order of frequency):
Injection site tenderness or pain
Tiredness or weakness
Injection site redness
Injection site swelling
Fever and chills
Injection site reactions were significantly higher when Afluria was delivered by jet injector than by needle and syringe.
Multi-use vials of Afluria contain the preservative thimerosal to ensure that contamination does not occur between injections. Thimerosal is safe for use and does not cause autism or any other adverse condition, as some anti-vaccine proponents may suggest.
Are Preservative-Free Flu Vaccines Safer?
Severe reactions are unlikely with Afluria but can occur. Among the most concerning is anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening, whole-body allergy that can lead to respiratory distress, shock, heart failure, and death.
Even so, data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) study identified only 10 cases of anaphylaxis out of more than 7.4 million doses of inactivated flu vaccine.
Another concern is the risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), particularly since there is no way to predict who may experience this autoimmune reaction. But, again the likelihood of this occurring is low, with the CDC reporting roughly one to two cases of GBS per million doses of the flu vaccine.
GBS is characterized by an autoimmune assault on nerves that first starts with tingling sensations in the feet or hands that gradually spread, causing leg weakness, severe nerve pain, difficulty breathing or walking, loss of bladder or bowel control, and, in some cases, paralysis or respiratory arrest.
Side Effects of Flu Vaccines You Should Know
Warnings and Interactions
The viruses used to make Afluria and many of the other flu vaccines are grown in chicken eggs. As such, there may be remnants of egg proteins in the vaccine. Even so, it is recommended that those with an egg allergy still receive the vaccine, as the risk of an adverse reaction is low.
With that said, Afluria should be administered in a medical setting for those with a history of severe egg allergies in the event of a reaction.
For people at risk of an egg allergy, both Flublok and Flucelax are grown in an egg-free culture and are considered safe for use.
Should I Get a Flu Shot If I Have Asthma?
Certain drugs that alter the body's natural immune response may reduce the effectiveness of Afluria. Most interactions of this sort are incidental and do not require you to make any adjustments.
One exception is a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies (MAs) which can impede the production of influenza antibodies. The MAs of greatest concern are:
Arzerra (ofatumumab), used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Enspryng (satralizumab), used to treat neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NOSD)
Mayvent (siponimod), used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS)
Ocrevus (ocrelizumab), also used to treat MS
Make sure that whoever is giving you your flu vaccine is aware of any medications you are taking.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends flu vaccination two weeks before starting any monoclonal antibody therapy and revaccination a minimum of three months after completing therapy.

Kavringen fyr blev bygget i 1892 og ligger på Søndre Kavringdynge i den vestlige indsejlingsrute til Oslo havn.

Historie
Ind til 1892 var der kun to fyr i Oslo havn; Heggholmen i det såkaldte Skipsløpet (det midterste løb) fra 1826/1876 og Dyna i vestre løb fra 1875. Skipsløpet var fra gammel tid hovedindsejlingsruten til Oslo havn, men mod slutningen af 1800-tallet begyndte større skibe at foretrække det vestlige løb forbi Dyna fyr, videre mellem Kavringen og Hovedøya og rundt om Vippetangen og ind til Bjørvika. Da så dampskibet DS «Norge» stødte på grund ved Kavringen i 1890, blev der rejst krav om bedre belysning i det vestlige løb. Havnekommissionens budgetforslag for 1891 indeholdt en detaljeret plan for forbedring af belysningen i de enkelte indsejlingsruter. Det blev vedtaget at bygge tre fyr: Stangskjærrabben i Skipsløpet, og Kavringen og Vippetangen i vestre løb.

Byggearbejderne på Kavringen fyr kom i gang i april 1891, og fyret blev færdigbygget og sat i drift 1. august 1892. Fyret ble pudset op udvendig til 100-årsdagen i 1992.

Bygning
Fundamentet på Kavringen fyr består af en ottekantet betonblok som er støbt direkte på fjeldet (dybde -3,25m), og en mur over vandet a udhugget granit. Tårnet er bygget af bindingsværk. Det var oprindelig rødmalet, men er i dag hvidt med et rødt bælte. Tårn og lygtehus er senere beklædt med plastbelagte, galvaniserede plader. Et galleri er anbragt omkring fyrlygten. Tårnets højde til og med fløjspidsen er 19 meter, og fyrlygtens brændpunktshøjde er 11,7 meter over OHV-null.

Fyrlygten er konstrueret af jern og beklædt med kobberplader. Fyrlyset var fra først af en såkaldt Lytts petroleumslampe med linseapparat med rotør af 6. orden. Fyret blev i 1928 forstærket med et linsesæt mod hovedindsejlingen, og i 1932 gik man over til elektrisk drift. Det var fyrvogteren på Dyna som havde ansvaret for fyret indtil 1956 da fyrene i vestre løb ble automatiseret og fyrvogterstillingen nedlagt.

Lysstyrken er 1900 candela for hvid, 475 candela for rød og 235 candela for grøn sektor. Brændingstiden er fra 1.7. til 10.6.

Vogter tidskapslen
På St. Hallvards dag, 15. maj 2000, blev en tidskapsel af titan boltet fast inde i fyret. Kapslen er udformet som en kopi af lygtehusdelen på Kavringen fyr, og den indeholder brev og hilsener til fremtiden fra Oslos borgere. Disse hilsener blev indsamlet som en del af markeringen af Oslos 1000-årsjubileum. Den kan først åbnes i år 3000.

Q: IBM X3850 does not boot from internal USB by default unless startup boot menu is visited I'm running Vmware ESXI from the internal USB.
No matter how many times I persist the boot order so that the server boots from the internal USB, the server starts up with a blinking line cursor and does nothing.
However if during the preboot I press F12 and then select the internal USB, it successfully boots from it. But it looks like it never remembers it for the next time. I have tried this using soft reboot and hard ones which all ended up in the blinking server mode.  I thought this could be a CMOS battery issue. I replaced the battery today and it made absolutely no difference.
Because  of this I'm not able to detach the keyboard and memory from the server which is not convenient at all.
How do I get the BIOS to persist the "boot from USB" option?

A: I'm not sure if it's still relevant for you, but I was in the same situation as you and believe that the internal SAS controller intercepts the boot process. Do the lights on the hard disk trays blink when the boot process gets stuck?
If so and given that you want to boot from USB anyways, you can try to disable the controller for booting. You can disable booting either from the SAS configuration (CTRL-C when it boots the controllor) or by setting the PCI boot preference in the normal BIOS from SAS Planar to an empty PCI slot. This workaround helped me to persistently boot to the (internal) USB drive with the x3850 M2.

A: Disabling booting from the SAS configuration was all that was necessary for me. After making the usbkey the persistant boot device in the boot menu (f12) esxi booted without any input from me.

Shrike 'n' AssumedPseudonym's 'Superior' Sounds (SNAPSS)
SNAPSS: The Premier (and only) comprehensive sound overhaul mod for Transcendence
This is the development thread for SNAPSS, the collaborative project between myself (the sound-designer and annoying concept person) and AssumedPseudonym (the coder for the project). The mod in its current form replaces the stock weapon sounds with a much wider variety of WAV files to make up for how awful the stock game audio is. It's a workaround, but we're quite proud of it.
SNAPSS works using virtual stations (the SNAPSS 'Wizard') and the overriding of the stock WAV files with silent fakes. Code on the station then checks whenever a weapon is fired, determines the correct sound based on UNID, damage type and the weapon's average per-shot damage and then plays that sound in addition to the now-silent WAV played by the engine itself. This effectively replaces the audio and removes that damned clicking that everyone loves to hate.
SNAPSS was released as an alpha some time ago, but is no longer publicly available. This is set to change soon.
The march to 1.0
Development has recently resumed on SNAPSS with the intent of putting it on multiverse, and I realised that we never actually had a development thread the first time around. SNAPSS doesn't have overly exciting development compared to some other mods, but it's grown popular enough that I feel that having info put out before changes actually occur is a nice thing.
SNAPSS version 0.1 has been out for a while, and the download link died with Dropbox changing its systems. While the original mod does things very well, there's a few things that need improving before a public release of the revised mod:
On the code side of things, AssumedPseudonym has a really easy time. There's not much that needs fixing just yet for our 1.0. He will, however, have a lot of work in future.
On the sounds side...I have quite a bit of work! SNAPSS 0.1 only functions for Part I. That will not change for 1.0 release. That dramatically cuts down the number of audio files required to make the mod function. However some sounds in the soundpack are placeholders or early versions left from 2016. In particular the "exotic1" catch-all was...less than ideal. In general I like the feel of the SNAPSS soundpack, but there are bits that aren't up to our standards for a finished (or "finished enough") product. These lower-quality files need replacing, and audio work can take a considerable period of time. SInce that's my side of things and my scheduling and ability to get things done is truly legendary by the standards of registered developers, this may take some time.
There are also a few things that need outright removing. The 'HONK' easter egg is, regrettably, one of them. The sound will be there, but it's not going to turn up ingame. There's a few more unique sounds to add for mod-friendliness. Other mods will be able to call on these sounds even if they're not used by SNAPSS by default. Alas, I still need to make them.
Version 1.0 will arrive on multiverse as either a registered or unregistered extension (we haven't decided yet) 'when it is done'. It will operate only on SOTP Part I, Eternity Port, and other adventures set in human space. It will not function in the Vault of the Galaxy campaign. That's going to require a lot more sounds before we can make a compatible SNAPSS version.
Future versions will, hopefully, include additional features:
-VOTG support and additional sounds for nano, graviton, etc damage types (replacement of "Exotic 1")
-Limited replacement of armor and shield hit sounds with new sound effects (these would be by weapon class (matter/energy) and damage proportion most likely, rather than by damage type.
-Additional sounds that can be called by other mods (registered or unregistered).
None of these features are a promise, but we'll work on them.
Regrettably due to technical limitations it is unlikely we will ever have customised missile sounds beyond the one we have for the Makayev launcher. These have to be hard-coded into the mod on a per-missile basis and are very unfriendly to expansions that add extra missiles.
I'll probably update this thread with my progress through remastering the soundpack over the weeks ahead. It might not be overly exciting, but it'll let folks who've been waiting for SNAPSS to return know what's taking so long.
Mischievous local moderator. She/Her pronouns.
Today I started some work on new antimatter sound variants. As these need to work for Part II, I'm sure whether to start over or not: it's quite a difficult balance that will be needed and antimatter weapons in Part II include relativistic beam weapons which may require a different sound (which may or may not even be possible). This doesn't really add much right now (except for third-party mods that add additional high-level weapons, like The Stars Beyond) but will set things up to save time later when VOTG support is on the cards. I've already gotten this process underway with the currently-in-progress graviton sound line.
I've also been working out roughly what new effects I'll need to make up for version 1.0. In order to allow for the exotic damage types likely to appear in Part I, I need to get the Graviton, Antimatter and Nano sound lines ready in some form. I also need a unique sound to replace the "exotic 1" sound used by exotics in 0.1.1, which will probably only be seen on the Absolution cannon (as the chimeric graviton cannon will be covered by the standard system). This will be an interesting challenge, and will probably mean some serious testing and feedback-seeking at some point in the (hopefully not overly distant) future. As each damage type needs a unique 'feel' of sound, as more damage types go into the mod it becomes harder and harder to find something that works well and is able to be scaled/remixed to cover the different damage tiers of weapons. Fortunately it's reasonably pleasant to develop and test test, although damage thresholds will likely be extremely placeholdery until Part II support is in the works. I've recovered an archive of sounds that AP worked on and sent to me earlier this year. While they're not ready for use (they're a bit rough since AP had less experience with this stuff at the time), they're great sources to work off and should save a lot of time with creating new sounds, as several of them are significantly different to my own older work...the perfect thing for a new damage type.
This is great! I'm looking forward to improved sounds. I hope you'll submit it as a registered extension - there's no reason it shouldn't be allowed in registered games.
It's possible to find all the launchers that fire a missile, so their sound could be based on the fastest fire rate among them.
That might be do-able, but it runs into issues if someone makes a launcher that fires the same missiles at a different rate of fire. You'd need to get ROF from the launcher and other data from the missile....and it would probably be error-prone. It's probably do-able in some form, but it's not on the list right now (the stock sound is actually pretty decent).
It's been a while!
SNAPSS development has run into various issues. The most pressing being offline activities I need to do (my thesis). However in terms of actual development speed, I've made some decent progress of late. Two out of three graviton sounds and an extra (not very good) antimatter sound are in. Soon I'll be working on nano weaponry based on some audio samples AP sent over.
The problem is, regrettably, that at some point my audio files have been corrupted. Clipping that wasn't there when I released the last version is now an issue. Further, several WAV files will crash audacity entirely if I try making significant changes. So I'm probably going to remake some otherwise acceptable sounds because I can't do the last operation to bring them up to standard. There doesn't seem to be any way around this: copying and exporting the audio doesn't fix the issue.


It's Getting Hot in Herre! (but you can leave your clothes on if you want). Either way, it's time to bust out some salsas. SALSA, people, is one of the reasons I exist. There is nothing I don't like about a salsa. Nothing.
Pineapple salsa is a bit of a new one for me, I wasn't even aware of the glory of pineapple in Mexican food until 2010 and I ate a vegan burrito in Vancouver. Black beans and pineapple in amongst the other assorted burrito-y goodness? Where had it been all my life? More importantly, could I pull off the same flavour at home?
I love this salsa as a side dish of sorts with enchiladas, quesadillas or burritos. It's a bit too chunky to have with chips (but you could sort out the pineapple pieces if that's what you want to do), so works well as a bit of a garnish. Grab yourself a margarita and a tortilla and let's party!
As the weather heats up, cool everything down with this pineapple salsa.
Mix all in a large bowl and leave to sit for about at least an hour, to allow flavours to mingle.
Test for seasoning before serving.
Serve cold as a nice counterpoint to your spicy food!
I really don't like fruit, but I like them in savory things. Weird, huh!
I've really gotta make one this summer!
Now I want a burrito for breakfast. Damn you boring toast!
I think I've got a breakfast burrito recipe here somewhere!
I love a good salsa. I've never had a pineapple salsa so I'll have to try this. Mango salsa is also fantastic.
Yum, I love pineapple, especially in savoury dishes.
I can't believe there are people out there who think pineapple should never be cooked!
Yeah I don't mind it meself!
Dang, this looks GOOD! It reminds me of my trip to Vietnam earlier in the year where at a dinner, dessert was sliced pineapple that you dip in salt and chilli. Sounds wrong but it's so right.
WHAT?! I need that so bad. That sounds amazing. I am dying to go to Vietnam!
I love pineapple but have never made it into salsa before – this is definitely happening as part of my next Mexican feast! Thanks Stacey!

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official said Sunday that President Donald Trump "is not a white supremacist" and attempts to tie him to the alleged New Zealand mosque shooter are "absurd."
Mick Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff, described the New Zealand shooter as a "disturbed individual" and "evil person" and said it was unfair to cast the 28-year-old Australian "as a supporter of Donald Trump any more than it is to look at his, sort of his eco-terrorist passages in that manifesto and align him with Nancy Pelosi or Ms. Ocasio-Cortez."
"This was a disturbed individual, an evil person, and to try and tie him to an American politician from either party probably ignores some of the deeper, difficulties that this sort of activity exposes," Mulvaney said.
Still, Mulvaney's defense of Trump failed to quiet calls, chiefly from Democrats, for the president to issue a forceful denunciation of white nationalism. They argue that Trump's rhetoric, including harsh comments about immigrants and Muslims, encourages individuals like the New Zealand shooter.
"Were/are you a supporter of Donald Trump?" was one of the questions he posed to himself in the document. His answer: "As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no."
"Look at what we've done while we've been here," he said. "I don't think anybody could say that the president is anti-Muslim." Mulvaney added that it frustrates him personally that "every time something goes wrong around the world now, not just in our country, somehow the president of the United States must be responsible. And that's just, that's absurd and it doesn't help contribute to the dialogue that's necessary to fix these problems."
Before Mulvaney appeared on the Sunday talk shows, Trump tweeted in defense of Fox News weekend host Jeanine Pirro, whose program did not air in its regular Saturday time slot. Fox offered no explanation, but Pirro's absence from the lineup followed anti-Muslim comments she directed last week toward Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of three Muslims in Congress, who wears a head covering known as a hijab. Trump tweeted "Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro."
Mulvaney also addressed a threat by North Korea to reconsider its halt to nuclear and ballistic missile tests, saying such a move would be a "truly disappointing turn of events." The threat followed the collapse of nuclear disarmament talks last month between Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
The chief of staff also expressed confidence that Trump's veto of a measure blocking his declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border -- in order to build a border wall -- will be upheld when the House votes later this month to override the president.
"It doesn't have a chance," Mulvaney said of the vote set for March 26.
Asked last week whether he saw white nationalism as a rising global threat, Trump said "I don't really."
He went on to characterize the movement as made up of a "small group of people that have very, very serious problems" and said "I guess, if you look at what happened in New Zealand, perhaps that's a case. I don't know enough about it yet."
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., disagreed, saying white nationalism is on the rise "and the president should call it out, but sadly he's not doing that."
As a candidate, Trump proposed banning all Muslims from entering the United States. As president, he drew criticism for attempting to institute the travel ban and for being slow to condemn white supremacy and related violence. After a violent 2017 clash between white nationalists and anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one demonstrator dead, Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides" of the confrontation.
"He, from the Oval Office, from that power position, can be able to send a signal very loud and clear," she said.
Mulvaney appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Kaine and Tlaib spoke on CNN's "State of the Union."

Elizabeth sat bolt upright. Her heart was racing and she fought blindly to focus her eyes. Grispheran was sitting nonchalantly in the passenger seat beside her. His presence unnerved her to such a degree that she struggled to regain any semblance of composure.
"You frightened the Living daylights out of me, you bloody idiot! What the hell are you playing at?" As she recovered from the shock of his sudden appearance and physical contact, she began to boil with anger and her green eyes flashed.
He laughed softly. "Tut tut, Bess! There's no need to shout -– you'll wake the Living. You wouldn't want to draw attention to us now would you? Or is that what you want? Attention?" He moved closer, lowering his eyes to her mouth for a fraction of a second and then raised them to meet her own.
Elizabeth looked into their black watery depths and felt herself drifting. There was something so physically attractive about him and yet at the same time her instinct warned her against him.
"Just what is it you want?" she asked, anchoring herself by looking away and concentrating on the light and noise travelling towards them from the wine bar over his shoulder.
"Oh, you know exactly what I want, Bess. Why don't you stop pretending otherwise." He leaned forward to whisper this seductively into her ear, and then gently bit the pearl teardrop of her earring. Elizabeth half closed her eyes as a sensuous thrill washed over her and Grispheran traced his mouth down the length of her neck and towards her collarbone. Elizabeth couldn't help but be carried away in the moment just briefly until the siren of a passing ambulance brought her back to her senses.
"Whenever you're ready, Bess," he replied confidently and vanished.
"It's not in my nature to be otherwise."
"Just what is it you want?" she asked"
Personal favorite: "She pulled away, clutching her car keys like a crucifix."
And that last exchange is super!
Thank you for a Halloween thrill!
Melissa - "Halloween thrill!" - Oh!! I LOVE it!
Great sexual tension here. I'm liking the stresses between Grispheran and Elizabeth--Good sharp dialogue, and I can easily envision this.

MB Development Plan 14 February 2017 Draft_.pdf
Land Buy Back
C4 Gif Fund - 'GiveNow'
Invest In The Environment
Help Save The Cassowary
Lot 66 is an unprotected and vulnerable part of a corridor which allows cassowaries to follow seasonal food from the upland forests of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in the west to a coastal wetland refuge at Mission Beach in the east. The importance of Lot 66 was recognised in 2008 when a 40-lot residential development on the 24.5ha site was blocked by the then Environment Minister Peter Garrett.
Lot 66!
We've done it! Now we can celebrate
To publicly acknowledge this milestone in Mission Beach conservation, Two special events were held by C4 and QTFN. On Monday the 19th of May 2014 an official unveiling of the sign for Lot 66 was hosted by C4 and QTFN at C4's location at Mission Beach.
This event had a range of official guests with speeches. Media was also present. In addition to the official guests, members and supporters were invited to attend to be an appreciative audience. The unveiling was followed by light refreshments.
On Saturday the 24th of May 2014 C4 held a members and community supporters celebration at C4. A display of the history of the campaign to save Lot 66 was made available and it was a time to reminisce with others who had been working over the years to achieve this memorable outcome.
Corridor win hailed
A 20-year Samson and Goliath battle by a group of volunteers to conserve a critical wildlife corridor at Wongaling Beach from subdivision and development has been won following a unique agreement between C4 and Queensland Trust for Nature (QTFN).
The 25ha block known as Lot 66 is integral in linking uplands habitat in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area near Ravenshoe right through to the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The lot borders residential development near Mission Circle and Rockingham Road and the Djiru National Park.
The corridor is essential to ensure access to seasonal feeding sites and for gene pool diversity of cassowaries and other wildlife.
C4 president Maurice Franklin said the fight for the wildlife corridor was actually a series of negotiations that saw the purchase of Lot 66 and the designation of Cassowary Coast Regional Council owned freehold Lot 802 on the seawardside of Wongaling Road (Cassowary Drive) as a cassowary corridor with management passing to the Djiru Warrangburra Aboriginal Corporation. This lot connects with Djiru land on the beachfront.
"Different personalities have played different roles all the way through; it has been a mammoth task, from fundraising, grant application writing, court battles, and lobbying of politicians of all persuasions," Maurice says. "Everyone who has had a role should be very proud.
"In the 1990s, when Lot 66 was under threat from development a campaign to protect it was spearheaded by volunteer lawyers at the Environmental Defenders' Office and helped by local activist Liz Gallie. Organisations such as Terrain, NRM, Biotropics, CSIRO, James Cook University and the Wet Tropics Management Authority helped document the ecological value of the land. The campaign failed in the courts but was effective enough to convince then Minister for the Environment Peter Garrett of the need to protect it. In 2008, he used his ministerial power to block the development as 'clearly unacceptable'. Lot 66 had a reprieve but was still under threat from development. Two further applications were made and successfully prevented.
"It was clear that buy back was the best solution." The first major donation of $16,000 came from the winding up of a C4 nature-based tourism project sponsored by the Sidney Meyer Fund in 1995.
This was followed by $10,00 from Bokhara Foundation in 1997. The fund grew with donations from trade union branches, service clubs, birdwatching groups, local residents and individuals from Australia and overseas.
"Throughout the struggle to find the funds, the land remained on the market with the added risk that it might sell to a third party though communication with the owners remained open," he said.
"In 2011, C4 applied for a $500,000 Caring for Country grant and for two years we remained hopeful of a positive outcome. In August 2013, the Federal Government dashed these hopes with rejection. C4 then resolved to seek corporate sponsors and crowd funding. We had raised $270,000 but our volunteers were almost exhausted mentally and physically.
"Then, in September, our 'White Knight — QTFN — appeared. C4, together with CCRC officers and Djiru Elders, discussed the project with QTFN General Manager Ben O'Hara. A series of meetings resulted in QTFN agreeing to partner with C4, provide the balance of the $550,000 plus GST and manage the acquisition, convenenting to Nature Reserve and sale of Lot 66 as one parcel."
Mr O'Hara said the wildlife corridor's creation highlighted the benefits of a commercial approach to conserving Queensland's biodiversity and protecting its natural landscapes.
"It was thanks to C4's efforts from the very beginning and on following through with the council and the Djiru Warrangburra Aboriginal Corporation that we were able to get the result," he said.

What makes aftermarket car speakers better than factory speakers?
Be it the short trips you make daily from work to your home or the rounds you do every day on the neighborhood streets, the need for quality car speakers is imminent. Listening to your favorite music through the factory car speakers might not give you the best detail coverage in the same manner as when using your home music system. That is why you will need to upgrade them.
Most of the speakers that most people use to upgrade their car audio systems include 6.5 car speakers. One of the famous 6.5 car speakers' manufacturers is the Pioneer. That is why we have decided to review some of the best Pioneer 6.5 car speakers available in the market.
We have considered their clarity, sound quality, configuration, performance alongside their prices. We hope that at the end you will be a step closer to finding your best Pioneer 6.5 car speakers.
These best pioneer 6.5 inches car speakers are 3- way speakers that feature a multi-layer matrix cone and a light elastic polymer surround. If you are a listener of heavy bass music, then you should consider these speakers as your best. These speakers belong to the TS-series which have improved bass and dynamic range.
The sturdy multi-layer cone mica matrix structure allows dispersion of sound and punchy bass. A tweeter is also included to cover the high range frequencies. This is good for acoustic accuracy be it the snares and hats or the high-end melodies. Sometimes speakers tend to overheat; these speakers contain a cooling basket that has a vent for efficient cooling to avoid such a situation.
They have a multilayer Mica Matrix Cone structure which is good for dispersion of sound having a punchy bass.
The tweeter is designed in such a way that it produces a range of mid to high frequencies for a more enhanced volume.
The speaker diaphragm offers good quality sound. It is light and has a good sensitivity and a suitable range of internal loss.
The voice coil is heat resistant which is good for heat dissipation and durability to withstand high power input.
They have improved bass and dynamic range, higher power handling, and new cosmetic design.
If you are ready to be a little more generous with your wallet and have yourself more power delivery speakers, these will be good for you. These pioneer speakers deliver a maximum power of 260 watts and minimal of 60 watts. The cones are good and are made of basalt fiber that is interwoven with aramid which makes them lightweight and rigid. This will ensure that the speakers do not rattle after some time of use.
The rear chamber tweeters ensure that you have a boost on the midrange which is good for vocal imaging and highs. They also have built-in crossovers which are good for sound filtering so that you can have a good response from the speakers. The crossovers cover two bandwidths of -12dB /Octave HPF and LPS which is good for transition from mid to high frequencies.
They have a butyl rubber coverage which does not fall in hot temperature conditions.
The rear chamber tweeter chamber is good for boosting midrange frequencies for good vocal imaging.
V-shaped diaphragm and waveguides of the tweeter are good for dispersion of sound for quality sound coverage in the car.
For control of sound response in the tweeters and the speakers, they have a built-in crossover of -6dB LPF and -12dB HPF.
The frequency response is also good as they cover low, mid and high-frequency bandwidths.
The bass sound quality from these speakers is of low quality.
This is yet another class of cheap and affordable best pioneer 6.5 car speakers. They are 2-way which means you will have a good coverage of the mid and the high frequencies. The speakers are covered by rubber-coated cloth speaker surround which makes them good in sound delivery and lasting performance.
These speakers are also made with polypropylene alongside with mica cone woofer. To ensure that you have a clear sound of the high range frequencies, 1- 3/16'' piezoelectric tweeter is included. When it comes to power handling, these speakers have a peak value of 500 watts per pair and an RMS of 80 watts which makes them good for high power sources.
The only issue to be worried about when using these speakers is the way in which they handle power, their bass coverage is also somehow poor and will not be ideal for listening to heavy bass music.
They are averagely priced and have a good midrange and high range sound quality.
Gives lasting performance since the cones are covered by polypropylene with mica.
Have averagely good performance and support for high power sources.
Have piezoelectric tweeters which are good for covering high-frequency ranges for clear acoustic accuracy.
Come with clips and screws which are easy to install on most cars.
They have poor quality bass delivery.
If you are looking for good priced and more complex speakers to install in your car, these speakers will be good for you. They are compatible with aftermarket systems and car factory systems. The frequency range is also amazing as it covers a range of 32Hz-38 kHz which is a good frequency response.
A frequency as low as 38Hz makes it good for responding to sub basses which is a property that you can find only in most expensive subwoofers. This frequency range also covers most bandwidths which is good for sound quality.
It also has a good maximum power handling capacity of 350watts per pair (175 watts per speakers) and RMS Power of 60 watts per pair (30 Watts per speaker). What's more, it also features a 4-way design which has two tweeters, midrange, and bass cones. These kinds of speakers produce high-quality sound with good acoustic accuracy from the tweeters.
They are 4-way speakers which makes them good for huge bandwidth coverage.
The two tweeters on the configuration give a good high range sound coverage and good acoustic coverage.
The frequency response range is good for sound quality from a bass of low as 32Hz and highs of up to 38 kHz.
They are easy to install and are compatible with most aftermarket systems.
They are prone to stopping working after months of use.
With an impedance of 4 ohms, these speakers are full-range speakers which are convenient for a car user like you who listens to low bass music. They are low priced and are up to the task as well. If you are after a speaker that will meet your budget and still give you average performance, these are the speakers to go for.
They lack tweeters meaning you won't have much of the high-end frequencies that could have enhanced the space of your car. You will, however, have good midrange and vocal coverage. They have a power handling rating of 200W which makes them fall along with the normal factory car system without an amplifier.
What' more, these speakers will offer you a long-term service performance without any issues at all. The 2-way configuration also means you will have more of the mid and highs. The only issues to be worried about is the small-sized magnets and the low bass quality.
Have good coverage of the mid-range and the high frequencies.
Have high power handling capacity of 200 watts.
A shallow fitting meaning connectors will need to be cut when installing.
They come at a good price for low budget and good sound quality.
Lasting performance without a rattle.
The magnets are small which makes them produce low volume and depth of sound.
When buying the best Pioneer speakers for your car, there are some factors that you need to consider to be able to make the best choice. This is because all Pioneer speakers are great and therefore you might find it hard to settle one.
However, here are some features that can help you in buying these speakers. Before discussing the features, here is a video that can give you some basics involved in buying the best Pioneer speakers.
There are basically two types of car speakers that you will need to consider. These types include component and full range or coaxial speakers.
Component speakers can handle low-range frequencies which are done by the woofer. They respond to frequencies as low as 40 to 1000Hz. They also come with components that handle midrange frequencies which range from 500Hz to 10,000Hz.
The tweeters handle the higher frequencies of between 2000Hz to 20,000Hz. Component speakers can be installed in different parts of the vehicle depending on your preference. The ability to separate sound into different bandwidths makes car component speakers good over coaxial speakers.
Full range speakers or the coaxial speakers, on the other hand, have these components combined to form a single unit. The tweeters, woofers and midrange components are combined making them more affordable and hence the reason why they are liked by many.
Another reason why they are liked by many is that they are easy to install as compared to component speakers. Despite their popularity, these speakers have a limitation in terms of sound separation which drastically affects the quality of sound out of them.
The best configuration to go for is the 3-way or 4-way configuration. These kinds of configurations will give a more broad sound coverage from the low, mid and high frequencies. 3-way configuration will have a sub-woofer, midrange components and tweeter for high-end frequencies.
4-way configuration will have extra tweeters for broader coverage and dispersion of sound. A 2-way speaker will give you perfect mid and high range frequencies; however, you will have less or no bass coverage. These are some of the few things to consider while you look for the best pioneer 6.5 car speakers.
Watching on the price will be crucial for you as well. Remember cheap is expensive but you shouldn't be worried though as most of the pioneer 6.5 car speakers are affordable and have good performance.
There are many reputable brands that offer audio devices that are known to be the best quality and up to the task. Since this is the field they are specialized in, their speakers emerge the best over those of car manufacturers.
Since speaker manufacturers are interested towards making sure that you hear clear and high-quality sound on your car, they tend to come up with designs that are top notch. With the immense competition in the industry, most of the speaker manufacturers push the limits of advanced technology.
This competition results in designs with tweeters, subwoofers and well-designed sound cones. These subwoofers are good for low frequencies, and the tweeters are good for high-end frequencies which could not be heard on normal factory speakers. That is why you will find a more detailed sound in brand speakers as compared to factory speakers.
Brand speaker manufacturers also add advanced crossovers which are good for separating sound into different channels or bandwidths. These bandwidths are low, mid and high. The crossovers are equipped with filters which will at certain point allow a certain range of frequency to pass over to speaker's different components.
Brand car speaker makers ensure that their speakers have good performers in different conditions. Be it on high temperature, moisture and stress conditions. They are made with special materials to cater for this.
Since they are made for good performance, the materials used to make voice coils are strong and lightweight. They also come with good fixture designs which make them be installed correctly hence minimizing rattling. These facts make car aftermarket speakers last longer than the stock speakers.
There are some other ways to improve the quality of your car's audio system. Nonetheless, replacing your car's speakers with brand new speakers like the best pioneer 6.5 inches car speakers bring more advantage of affordability. A modest investment on brand speakers will help you achieve a noticeable difference.
Installing your car with speakers like the best pioneer 6.5 car speakers will be the best way of bringing the feeling of music home. Their ability to capture the wide range of frequency makes them good for car installation. They may differ, but at minimum and bare conditions, they will excel in giving you the best sound delivery.
After a close look at the various features, user feedbacks based on performance and price, we picked Pioneer TS-A1676R 6.5-Inch 3- way speaker pair as our best Pioneer speaker. They have a 3- way which means you will be able to hear a broader range of frequencies. These include good bass and high-end frequency coverage. They also belong to TS-series which have improved bass and dynamic range.
The sturdy multilayer mica matrix cone structure allows dispersion of sound and punchy bass. A tweeter is also included to cover the high range frequencies. Power handling ratings are good for high power supply and low supply as well.
They have been designed to be compatible with vehicle systems and to replace the factory speakers. Many users of these speakers have affirmed that they are worth buying. It is for these features and reasons that we would like to recommend it for you. You can still consider the other four as well as they will also offer the sound quality that you have been looking for.


Angered by the United States' labeling of Iran as part of an "axis of evil," hundreds of thousands of Iranians chanted "Death to America" on Monday during demonstrations to mark the 23rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. Host Larry Bensky speaks with Kaveh Asani, editor of the Farsi-language newspaper Dialogue about the effect of US statements inside Iran.
Long lines formed at many banks across Argentina today as thousands of Argentines rushed to convert their cash into US dollars. It was the first day banks opened and the peso was allowed to float freely since the failure of the government's dual-exchange rate system of fixed international rates and floating domestic rates. The free float of the peso is part of a restructuring plan aimed at restoring economic and social stability to a country racked by economic crisis and bloody street protests since the former government defaulted on debt payments late last year. More from Tim Russo in Buenos Aires.
Last week the International Monetary Fund created quite a stir in Afghanistan when they announced that they were considering replacing the local currency known as Afghanis with US dollars. The rate for Afghanis plunged by as much as 25 percent over one day before recovering. Pratap Chatterjee files this report.
The threat of another Indo-Pakistan war seems to have receded but a million men remain on high alert on both sides of the border. The tense stand-off has meant displacement for thousands – for thousands of others it has meant an increase in insecurity. The state of Jammu and Kashmir is virtually sealed off from the rest of the country – no outgoing telephone calls or access to the Internet. A security clampdown has transformed the state into a fishbowl – for its people, it feels like being under siege. Sputnik Kilambi filed the first of two reports from Srinagar.
The Olympics has brought not just an international community of athletes to Salt Lake City but also an international community of protestors. Hoping to gain media attention with the barrage of media people in the city, protest groups have been marching in the streets of salt lake since opening day and throughout the first weekend of the winter Olympics. Correspondant Gena Edvalson, reports on the Olympic opening weekends protests.


The Kava Starter Kit for 2 contains everything you need to begin enjoying kava along with detailed instructions so you can perfect your drink making skills. Comes with Powered Kava Root Plus, muslin extraction bag, kava blender, lemongrass, and two elegant hand-crafted acacia wood cups.
Want to get started with an authentic Kava experience as simply as possible?

And, it's all packaged in the popular and collectible Kona Kava Farm tins.
Looking for a Kava Sampler Pack? – We've got that as well! The sampler pack gives you an idea of the various forms of Kava that are available.
Whether you just want to grab something and go for a picnic, or whether you just want everything you need (except the blender) right in front of you, the Kava Starter Kit is the only way to go! We've only offered these for a short time here at the Kava Marketplace, but already, they're extremely popular items. The Kava Starter Kit also makes the perfect gift. Looking for something unique?

If you just want a Kona Kava Farm Tin; those are available as well. Plenty of room for Kava or anything else you want to add a little elegance to.
This starter kit is the perfect introduction to a traditional kava session. You get high quality kava with two coconut cups and a strainer bag, just like they do in the islands.
What a fun, chill way to try Kava! My husband and I enjoyed the tea together last night before supper – what a relaxing evening. Best sleep of my life and feeling wonderful this morning. I'm going to order more and have a Hawaiian themed dinner party with friends. Can't wait to introduce them to Kava and the lovely ritual of gratitude and communion around it.
You will want to mix 1-2 tablespoons of kava root powder with a pinch of soy lecithin and lemongrass and about 6oz of water. Alternatively you can combine the entire bags of root powder, soy lecithin, and lemongrass with about 1/2 gallon for a large batch. Blend these ingredients together in a blender or food processor for a couple minutes until they are thoroughly mixed.
Next you will want to pour the mixture through the muslin strainer bag to filter out any remaining solid particles. This makes it smoother to drink and better tasting. Take a little bit of time to 'knead' the muslin bag to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This may feel tedious but the last drops to squeeze through the bag are the most kavalactone-rich.
Hope this helps! And if you have any other questions feel free to email us at shop@kava.com.
How much of the actual Kava product is included in this starter kit?
Great kit for any level of kava experience!
First off, I absolutely love the tin and quality of all the products contained in this kit. I'm fairly new to kava, I'd say I'm more of an intermediate level than a beginner, but this kit will suit all of your needs no mater what your skill level is. Anyway, the powdered kava root plus is just the right level of "happy" and definitely helps me unwind after a long and stressful day. The acacia cups I absolutely LOVE! I love observing tradition and this kit really helps me do that. The size of the muslin bag is also great – very large. I've had trouble with the smaller ones in the past. One more thing – the instructions really REALLY helped me out! I've read so many different articles on the preparation of kava online, and they all say something different. I will forever follow the easy instructions that were included in this kit. I would highly recommend this product to any level of kava connoisseur. This site and company is the best when it comes to kava!
I'm totally new to the kava experience. I found kava as an effective alternate to valerian as a sleep aid, but jumped on it when I read that it could help with anxiety as well. This kit is perfect for a beginner like me. The storage tin is larger than I thought and very nicely made. I have a great deal of kava, soy, and lemongrass to get started. It comes with a large strainer bag to separate the kava and the liquid. The two wood cups are so cute, and feel very authentic. And for the price, I am ecstatic to try it! I would certainly recommend this for anyone who is interested in trying kava!
This is a cute little kit and makes some amazing kava. What I loved the lot is the experience of making my very own batch of kava. It was fun and I really enjoyed it. Another good note I would like to add is that the kit includes all the right amount of ingredients and its easy to prep. It is also fun to experiment with regarding flavor adding. I followed the kits recipe with the coconut milk and coconut water and it tasted pretty good. Overall I was excited getting this kit I loved the two bowls it comes with, I drink all my kava with them. I loved how easy it was making the homemade kava, the tin where everything comes in is really nice. I use the tin to store all my kava products. If you haven't bought this product yet , you should ..beginning kava drinkers or experienced, this is a great little kit to have.

President is responsible for every corona death – Anura Kumara Dissanayake
Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Leader Anura Dissanayake says that President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa should be blamed for every death and every tear caused by corona infection.
He points out that strict travel restrictions must be imposed on the existing corona distribution conditions.
He said that the existing Health Task Force should be restructured and that Anil Jasinghe, Paba Palihawadana and Jayaruwan Bandara, who had previously worked in this regard, should be included.
He also alleges that the corona spread in the country is now under the control of a single political authority.
Therefore, if it is not possible to get the support of the Opposition to control the pandemic, at least take advice from other politicians.
He made these comments at a press conference held at his party headquarters.

Overseas students rarely challenge landlords
June 24, 2013 July 22, 2013 Canada India Education Council (CIEC)
Source: The Age
Many other students 'pushed around in tenancies'.
When Yu Mao moved out of a rental property in Oakleigh she thought recouping her bond would be simple enough. But she was shocked to discover her signature on a claim form relinquishing most of the bond.
Ms Mao, who was an international student when she moved in, insisted she never signed the form. So she took it to police for analysis.
''I had been trying so hard to prove I didn't sign it,'' she said.
The police analysis found her signature had been forged but was unable to determine who had written it.
Ms Mao has since become a permanent resident but said international students rarely spoke out about unfair treatment in their housing arrangements. ''I don't think they know there is a way to complain.''
And the Council of International Students Australia says exploitation of foreign students in the rental market is rife.
The council's public relations officer, Mohamed Ehsan Ebrahim, urged universities to ''reach out'' to students and help protect them from unfair situations. ''A significant number of students have been exploited in the private rental market,'' he said.
Withholding bonds was among the main problems.
Ms Mao said international students often left their tenancies without demanding their bond because they wanted to get home for their holidays. ''Everyone is trying to leave the country as quickly as possible,'' she said.
Ms Mao said the real estate agency she had dealt with agreed to return her bond after the police investigated.
Tenants Union of Victoria policy worker Mike Williams said international students rarely challenged their landlords.
''Many international students are just pushed around in their tenancies,'' he said. ''Often they just don't stand up for their rights.''
He urged students to seek advice on their tenancies if they felt they had been mistreated. But few international students sought help from the union.
Hadi, who left Germany to do a PhD in Melbourne, never imagined he'd end up on the street when he moved into a house in Frankston.
But hoped speaking out about his sudden eviction would highlight the exploitation of international students in the rental market.
Hadi said in September he signed a contract that said he would mow the lawn and clean and maintain the house instead of paying rent.
Hadi, who did not want his surname published, said the landlord later demanded $150 a week. He said he agreed to pay $60 a week, but negotiations broke down.
Early this year, Hadi was walking outside his Dandenong workplace and found all his possessions dumped there.
He said a colleague handed him an eviction notice that had also been dropped off.
''I went down to the garage and saw the other colleagues were laughing at me,'' he said.
Hadi spent the night on a Swanston Street bench before crashing at a backpackers' hostel in St Kilda for three weeks.
He recently challenged his eviction in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and won $1408 in compensation when the rooming house owner failed to appear.
The owner declined to comment.
