FTSE 100 real estate investment trust Segro (LSE: SGRO) has enjoyed a blistering five years, its share price rising 113% in that time, roughly 10 times the growth of the FTSE 100 over the same period.
It is down 1.5% today on publication of its trading update covering 1 January to 16 April, which showed a slowdown in new headline rent growth and secured new pre-lets, although chief executive David Sleath said the business continued to perform well during its first quarter.
New headline rents totalled £21.2m, down from £27.3m in the first quarter of 2018, while secured new pre-lets slipped from £23.3m to £11.1m over the same period (although they remain well above the three-year quarterly average run rate of £7m).
Sleath hailed "particularly strong" rent roll growth at £6m, up from £500,000, boosted by the re-gearing of a number of leases in its Heathrow portfolio. The group now has 44 projects under construction, which are expected to generate £57m of annualised rent and are already 72% leased.
Segro raised £451m of equity in February to add to its future development pipeline, while it has a number of additional pre-let development projects at advanced stages of negotiation. Sleath said the group's high-quality portfolio of assets in prime locations across the UK and continental Europe should "continue to benefit from the structural drivers of e-commerce and urbanisation," despite macroeconomic and political risks.
With vacancy rates falling to 4.4% (against 5.2% in December), lettings of both existing and recently completed speculative space are strong. Segro completed 100,000 square metres of developments in the quarter, capable of generating £3.8m of headline rent when fully let, with £2.8m already secured.
So why was the market response downbeat? I reckon it's partly down to the high valuation, with the stock trading at 28.4 times earnings. Paul Summers identified the same problem in February. Also, the yield disappoints at 2.9%, covered 1.2 times, although management policy is progressive. Segro is a good business, but it doesn't look a great investment at today's price.
That said, a toppy valuation and low yield does not necessarily make a stock a no-go area. You only have to look at FTSE 100 listed spirits giant Diageo (LSE: DGE) to counter that. Its P/E is routinely in the mid-20s, while its income rarely rises above 2.5%. It is the same story today, as the stock trades on a forecast valuation of 24.5 times earnings while the forecast yield is just 2.2%, with cover of 1.9.
You may have to be patient if you want a better entry point. Diageo is expensive because investors like it, and it usually lives up to expectations.
After a spell in the doldrums, Diageo is up 60% over the past three years. It has also beaten the FTSE 100 with ease and Peter Stephens reckons it will continue to do so, citing strong growth prospects in China and India. EPS are expected to rise 9% this financial year and 7% next year, which is more than steady, and offers security against wider stock market jitters. This is exactly the type of stock you should be looking to buy amid a wider market correction.

Weber State's season comes to an end with loss to EWU
Corie Holmes

Paul Grua
Jaiamoni Welch-Coleman drives to the hoop in the final game of the season for Weber State.
BOISE — The Weber State women's basketball season has come to an end as the Wildcats fell 81-74 to Eastern Washington on Monday night.
"I'm proud of my team," head coach Velaida Harris said. "It was a long season but the most important thing is that we were in every single game. We had an opportunity in all but maybe three games this season. We could have given up but with the leadership of the seniors and what they show to our younger players. I'm disappointed in the loss because I think it was a game we could have won. It was in our control but moral of the story, I'm very proud of my team."
Weber State started the game off strong. The entire first quarter was back and forth, neck and neck. WSU only trailed 24-21 at the end of it. The second quarter the Wildcats came out strong and maintained with a 37-37 score at halftime.
" I'm disappointed in the loss because I think it was a game we could have won. It was in our control but moral of the story, I'm very proud of my team. "

The Wildcats came out of halftime with guns blazing. WSU went on a 7-0 run and took a 47-40 lead. Weber State stayed on top the entire third quarter and still had a six-point lead going into the final ten minutes.
The final quarter was the Wildcats' demise. Eastern Washington powered through to not only catch the WSU but took a 12-point lead with two minutes left. Weber State couldn't gain any more momentum in the remainder of the game and EWU ran away with an 81-74 victory.
Weber State was led by senior Jaiamoni Welch-Coleman, who dropped 30 points. Emily Drake had 16 for WSU while Shianne Johnson and Kayla Watkins added 10 on the night. Watkins ended with a double-double, pulling down 11 rebounds.
Weber State shot 40 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three and 62 percent from the free-throw line. Eastern Washington was 41 from the field, 48 from the three and 81 from the free-throw line.
WSU finished the 2018-19 season with a 6-25 overall record.

Im trying to script my enemies ai so that when it gets within attacking range of a player placed barrier then it will start to attack. I think I need to use raycast for this. If someone could point me toward a tutorial that would be very helpfull thank you everyone.
Also, i hope someone posts an answer using raycasting, would be interesting to see.
Well i got this in the script but its not working properly. The monster moves toword your charachter but when he is in range he dosnt start to attack.
thats probably a problem with your attack function. Post a seperate question for it.
2) Do I have a clear line of sight to it? - it's nearby and in front of me, but a giant wall is between us. This is what rayCasting is used for.
Raycasting isn't difficult, but has some tricks. For example, you have to be sure to look from your eyes to the target -- not from your feet. It you want to see partially blocked targets, you need two (or more) raycasts "can I see his left side? No, well can I see his right side? No, well can I see his head?" Your friends also block your view, so when Bob ahead of you shouts kill and starts running, you say "huh -- I don't see anything." You can use layers to see through friends.
Characters in 2D games still have eyes- only the player has the 'God's eye view' thing happening.

Q: jQuery Form Plugin with 2 buttons I am using jQuery Form plugin
http://malsup.com/jquery/form/
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="submit" id="submit1" type="submit" class="submit_button" value="Save" />
<input name="submit2" id="submit2" type="submit" class="submit_button" value="Send Sale" />
</form>

Ok, so there are two button one is to send a mail through ajax form and other one is to save the data into table. here is the Jquery i used.
$(document).ready(function() {
// bind form using ajaxForm
$('#submit2').click(function() {
    alert('ffff');
    $('#form1').ajaxForm({
        // target identifies the element(s) to update with the server response
        target: '.loading',
        beforeSubmit:  showImg,
        success: showResponse,
        url:       'send_sale.php',
    });
});
});

When i clicked on Save button its working fine but when i click on Send Sale first and just after that click on Save button, the Save Button doing the same process of Send Sale.
Does anyone know whats wrong ?
UPDATE
got the solution use ajaxSubmit instead of ajaxForm

A: Just by being submit buttons inside the form tag, both buttons are submitting the form.  What you may want to try is moving converting the input submits to buttons and move them outside the form.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
</form>
<button id="submit1" class="submit_button">Save</button>
<button id="submit2" class="submit_button">Send Sale</button>

Then define your click handlers separately.
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#submit1').click(function () {
    alert("action 1")
    $('#form1').ajaxForm({
        target: '.loading',
        beforeSubmit: showImg,
        success: showResponse,
        url: 'send_sale.php',
    });
    });
    $('#submit2').click(function () {
    alert("action 2")
    });
});

Part 15 - About the Schedule of the Pending Reset of Time
As the evidence suggesting the schedule for the pending time reset continues to pile up, with this study of an account from the book of Joshua we seem to have reached a milestone, a sealing of the deal, as we know it. Perhaps you will agree, as the spirit bears witness. Although this is being presented without a lot of fanfare this really is something we're celebrating! This insight has been attended by still more signs.
We're going to focus our attention on the dramatic account of the crossing of the Jordan (Joshua 3-4) that marks the end of the period of Israel's wandering in the wilderness and their entrance into the promised land. This notable transition was punctuated by some very significant miracles and ritual activity. We've already written at some length about this crossing of the Jordan at flood stage and how the Ark of the Covenant and the moving of the stones was a ritual changing of the flow of the river of time. While supplemental study might not be required for you, here's a few pertinent studies you may want to become familiar with because we're drawing on a substantial foundation.
Israel's Wilderness Wandering - Lessons Beyond Space and Time (Series Links)
Part 3 - On Twelves and Thirteens - Signs of Time and its Mastery and Part 5
Joshua 4 - Joshua Removes and Places Sets of Twelve Stones in the Jordan (Indications of a Time Reset in the Keystone Prophecies)
We have discovered that the most intriguing verse in the account exhibits The Keystone Pattern (three things then the fourth) in a profound way, being concealed in the text like buried treasure. The introduction to this account also exhibits the keystone pattern and further supplements it with a very subtle weaving together of the themes of space and time. This is significant because the subject matter is a series of space-time rituals of epic proportion. This account takes place within the larger context of another keystone pattern with such an alignment that it must be seen as fractal, a concise keystone fractal! These things we address in this study speak so loudly to us about the reality of our situation as we approach such a momentous occasion in the history of our redemption! We are about to transition into the season of, in a figure, the conquest of the promised land!
The keystone pattern appears in a very straightforward manner in the opening verses of Joshua 3.
1 Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodged there before they crossed. 2 At the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp; 3 and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. 4 However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before." 5 Then Joshua said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you." ~ Joshua 3:1-5
Three days pass from the time they set out from Shittim to camp at the Jordan. Then, they cross over on the 4th day according to the well established pattern that speaks of this (first) shemitah spanning from 2012 to 2019. This is no small matter because they had anticipated entering the promised land since they left Egypt 40 years earlier! It's a bigger deal still because they modeled our time as a dramatic pre-enactment! This prophecy is about to be fulfilled, which bears witness to our present shemitah and the next and the transition between them. We believe what they did then resonates through time, and we mean that expression to be taken literally!
Before we start digging deeply into the account, let's take a step back to see how the fractal design appears when we consider the keystone of Joshua's introduction to the account of the crossing in the larger context of Israel's journey from Egypt to the promised land.
A very brief sketch was offered in this study, The Keystone Pattern - Three Things Then the Fourth: Acts 7 - Led by Moses (40+40+40) then Joshua. Expanding somewhat on that, we consider how Joshua assumed leadership of Israel after Moses died (Deuteronomy 34). Moses lived 120 years. This is suggestive because 120 is the time number 12 multiplied by 10, which is to say, amplified. Taking the hint, we give our attention to his life span and note that his life neatly divides into 3 equal 40 year segments. He was born in Egypt and remained there for 40 years until he fled for his life to Midian (Exodus 2). After living there for 40 years, Moses led Israel out of Egypt in the exodus. He led Israel in the wilderness until his death, 40 years later. We might ask why his amplified-time numbered life exhibited 3 equal divisions, and so we should! While there may be other reasons, one of them has to do with how Moses' life is a prophetic model, about time! The name of Moses means, drawing out, and he was the agent appointed to lead Israel out of Egypt and up to but not into the promised land. The privilege of leading them in was Joshua's. He followed Moses, with his distinctive 3-fold life-age, as a 4th in series. Under Joshua's leadership the promise to bring Israel into their inheritance was fulfilled. Okay, not yet completely but up to the limit appointed for that season. So it is that Joshua leads Israel into the promised land according to the keystone pattern.
The fractal of the keystone within the keystone appears when we recognize how Joshua's leading of Israel into the promised land is the 4th unit following the preparatory 3 of Moses' life, and consider how the river crossing that marks that monumental transition happens on the 4th day after 3 days of prep. There's another keystone example in this fractal, one that is not so easily found.
This treasure involves a verse that has been the focus of our attention for a while, Joshua 4:9. The keystone pattern is embedded in the thematic structure of the text. We first published an interactive presentation of the thematic structure of Joshua 3-4 back in September of 2015. During the process of researching for this Part 15 of the series, I revisited that version and found it lacking. I was led to seek the Lord again for help and He answered - and with the addition of the 1st verse of chapter 5 and a little refinement the result is now satisfactory. Completely. I have a level of confidence that is certainly bolstered by the receiving of the kind of insights that bear witness to Aaron and I that the Lord has indeed brought this result. We have the impression that we have, during the course of this study, reached a milestone in this series with a "sealing of the deal." To that, I must add, "at least in part," because we don't know what validation is yet to come.
We're excited to present this new interactive presentation of the work. Please spend some time exploring this with hover-over highlighting of the pairings and the pop-up commentary.
Thematic Symmetry of Joshua 3:1 - 5:1 - Interactive
There is much more to be written and, Lord willing, we will continue with fresh insight expounding on the crossing of the Jordan and on the matter of the revelation of the schedule of the pending reset of time and the signs that are attending it!
While we continue giving our attention to this core of what we're here to do, our web traffic plummets but the Lord continues to provide for the work. For those of you who are still paying attention, we depend on each other, to be sure, and we are so grateful for the continuing opportunity to seek and find the Lord together and to serve with you in this increasingly strange season.

The cure for tired blood
by Steve Schneider
I never thought I'd say it, but I'm getting a little bit bored with the whole vampire thing. I don't know what did it, really --Ã?it might have been "Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000," or having my computer freeze while attempting to download a complete list of Anne Rice novels -- but I've become so blasé about the ubiquity of bloodsuckers in the mass media that I'm about ready to donate my VHS copy of "Scariest Moments From Dark Shadows" to Transylvania Goodwill.
Here comes Gregory Patrick to the rescue. Correctly judging that ennui-ridden Renfields like me are legion these days, the writer/actor/performance artist has created a new monster to haunt all our dreams. The lid comes off the coffin in "The Phantom Ghores," a trade paperback and accompanying soundtrack CD Patrick is about to market.
What are Phantom Ghores?
According to the author, they're a special breed of fiends whose delicately groomed exteriors hide any number of underlying horrors. Like vampires, they're deadly; unlike vampires, they kill for sport and/or social prominence, not physical sustenance. They're boisterous, vain and color-blind. They use cologne and perfume to cover up the stench of their walking-corpse physiognomy. And as shown in the novel, they spend a lot of time hanging out in cabarets and cafés in Berlin -- which is where Patrick did his own tour of mingling duty a few years back.
"The Phantom Ghore is a symbol of social arrogance and lack of personality," its creator says. (Yep, just like the SUV.)
The 400-page book will arrive in stores this September, but it's already on sale at www.gregorypatrick.net. There won't be an e-book edition, however: Patrick went that route last September by trying to float an online edition of his autobiography, "Foe." Like Stephen King before him, he discovered that the idea was simply ahead of its time.
Also available at the site is the "Phantom Ghores" CD, a collection of instrumental pieces written and recorded by Patrick in his home studio and fleshed out with dialogue snippets and sound effects. The disc hits the racks Aug. 3 at Park Avenue CDs, Waxtree, Peaches and East-West CDs & Tapes; the previous evening, a "Release the Dead" party will be held at Barbarella. The festivities will include giveaways of a second, limited-edition CD and "House Rules," a guide to typical Phantom Ghore activities and behaviors. Attire requested at the affair is 1930s Gothic, with a $50 prize "silently awarded" to the best-dressed participant.
"Silently?" You have to love a contest that doles out rewards according to the shut-up-and-put-it-in-your-pocket paradigm. Now if we could just get Wes Craven to pipe down, too, everything would be hunky dory.
Full (Ed) Wood
Just to prove that my appreciation of trash culture hasn't been completely consumed by snobbishness, I strongly encourage you to attend the free outdoor screening of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" that's scheduled for Aug. 4 at Heritage Square. Sure, you've likely seen the movie too many times already (and that's not even counting those slavishly faithful re-enactments in Ed Wood). Yes, it's become a cliché of irony made E-Z. But it's impossible for me not to endorse a public gathering with a central motif of group derision.
Dress to mock. Hurl insults at the screen. And cross your fingers that the Orange County Regional History Center keeps the vilification-as-entertainment campaign going. Next step: Installing an actual stockade in the square.
"Lobster" feast
There was a little too much of Plan 9 going on in "The Beauty of Rigor Mortis," one of the more poorly received plays at last April's Orlando International Fringe Festival. Actor Rory Penland, who was conscripted to replace an injured cast member halfway through the show's performance run, had to read his lines to the house from a barely disguised script he carried around the stage. (Cue Johnny Depp, this time in the role of a Lillie Stoates judge: "That was perfect!") But Biting Monkey Productions, the pack of moonlighting Skull Kingdom employees responsible for "Rigor Mortis," soldiers on undeterred. Its latest project is "Dr. Lobster's Super Sci-Fi Theater," a weekly series of late-night sketch-comedy revues due to begin Aug. 17 at the Central Florida Theatre Alliance's Studio Theatre.
For "Dr. Lobster," the Monkeys have forged a project-specific performance troupe that features five Skull Kingdom folks -- including Penland, who used to do sketch comedy in Tampa but describes his current vocation as "scaring Brazilian tourists on the weekends." The remaining four "Lobster"-ites (Sak Comedy Lab alumnus Darren Humphrey among them) were found via recent auditions.
The shows will consist entirely of send-ups of the science-fiction and horror genres. A sketch that's planned for the first "episode" finds the X-Men soliciting new mutant recruits in Alabama; another, self-explanatory bit is titled "Andrew Lloyd Webber's Friday the 13th." ("It was a big hit in Tampa a couple of years ago," Penland says, unintentionally coining a 21st-century apologia that's even better than "Our band is huge in Belgium.")
Penland is aware of the obstacles in "Dr. Lobster's" path: Not only is the project tightly focused from a thematic standpoint, but the Monkeys shouldn't count on Amelia Street to provide much walk-in traffic -- not around midnight on a Friday, anyway.
"We're concerned that we're going to be performing for six people," Penland admits. Still, he and his comrades are planning on doing the show "every Friday night until we decide not to." (The lineup of sketches will change once per month.)
Performances will feature live musical accompaniment, and the average running time will be a whopping 80 minutes, including intermission.
"We're practicing improv comedy in case the show runs short," Penland says. Better yet, toss him a script of your own to read.
A scholarship fund has been established in memory of Jonathan Mednick, the University of Central Florida film professor who died June 7 of a brain aneurysm. Contributions will help UCF film-school students to complete their senior projects. (Lisa Garthwaite, a class-of-2001 graduate who's coordinating the memorial effort, says that the average cost of one of last year's 10-minute senior films was $6,000.) Send donations to The Jonathan Mednick Memorial Fund, c/o Chris Roberts, 139 W. 19th St., New York, NY 10011. It's a great use for that tax-refund check you've been promised by President Shrub -- assuming, of course, that the sucker doesn't bounce.

An interview with Harry Lewis, President of the Advanced Function Presentation Consortium
March 9, 2016 /in Blog Frontpage, Skip's World /by Chad Henk
Xplor President/CEO Skip Henk Interviews Harry Lewis, President of the AFP Consortium
Most everyone in the Xplor Community is familiar with AFP (advanced function presentation) and the impact it has had on our industry over the years. But AFP has come a long way since 1984 when it was first introduced. Most recently, it reached a very important milestone announced in January by the AFP Consortium.
Just a bit of background as to how the consortium came to be:
In October 2004 IBM initiated the formation of the AFP Color Consortium (AFPCC). The purpose was to collaboratively develop color management support in the AFP architecture. This resulted in the creation of the new AFP CMOCA (Color Management Object Content Architecture) specification which was first published in 2006.
In May 2006 IBM announced plans to open up the complete scope of the AFP architecture to the consortium. The new initiative was finalized in February 2009 with incorporation of the AFP Consortium (AFPC).
Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Harry Lewis, president of the Advanced Function Presentation Consortium (AFPC), to get an idea of what the AFPC has been up to for the last several years.
Skip: Harry, thank you for taking the time to talk about the work of the AFPC.
Harry: Skip, certainly, it's my pleasure.
Skip: Since IBM's announcement in February 2009, could you share with our readers how the AFPC has evolved and what initiatives they have undertaken?
Harry: As you well know, the print industry, and especially the digital printing industry, is constantly changing. The consortium has been hard at work helping AFP's end users stay ahead of the game, making big strides on key issues, such as reaching agreement on a standard interchange set (IS/3), continuing to enhance color support, and defining a metadata framework to support tagging at the print file and object level. We defined a subset of AFP for archiving, of which metadata is a key component. Recently, this AFP archive (AFP/A) subset achieved ISO certification, which is essential for end users who want a high degree of confidence when creating searchable, reliable archives, whether to meet their internal needs or to satisfy externally mandated compliance.
Skip: What does ISO certification mean for AFP and its users?
Harry: ISO certification provides a level of assurance to AFP's end users that the Archive standard brings the levels of data fidelity and efficiency they've come to expect from AFP, and, in cases of maintaining regulatory compliance, it gives them something to point to that indicates their archive format is recognized and accepted around the globe.
Skip: So what is next for the AFPC?
Harry: Commercial variable data has been a growing segment of AFP's user base for a while, and, with the commercial space evolving as rapidly as it is, we intend to track and adapt to those changes to help ensure AFP users are able to meet their – and their customers' – needs effectively, efficiently and reliably.
Skip: How can companies get involved in the AFPC?
Harry: If a company develops or sells an AFP hardware or software product, tool set or service, they may be eligible for membership. They can request further information through the Membership Information widget on our website, afpcinc.org.
Skip: Harry, I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. For our readers, you can find out more about the great work of the AFPC and its numerous standards, by visiting http://afpcinc.org/afp-publications/.
About the AFPC
The AFP Consortium is an international open standards body consisting of 33 companies committed to the continued development of the AFP architecture. Since 2004, the AFPC has developed open standards for accurate and consistent ICC-based color management, high-speed complex text, page group recovery within high-volume production, the IS/3 interchange set for compliance, and metadata support for AFP Archive and future applications, such as accessibility features. The AFPC will continue in its role to grow and maintain the complete set of AFP architecture.
To see a full list of the Consortium's members and learn more about the AFP Consortium and the new IS/3 AFP interchange set, visit the AFPC website http://www.afpcinc.org.
Until Next interview! Take care.

So many have been speculating as to why they or others have been banned. Maybe in a patch soon you should enable the training room and replays so we do not have to use mods or go into the res folder to do it ourselves. This could eliminate a couple of the reasons why people thought they were getting banned. I have no idea why you have not enabled them by now anyways.
I got banned without using any mods. The only program that was running together with WoWS for the past few days is Discord.
Perhaps this can be helpful for the Devs..
EDIT: Was also using Reshade.
I want to get banned for no reason too, so I can get some free premium time.
Why would they eliminate reasons people thought they were getting banned if those weren't the actual reasons? What would that solve?
Sounds like a hack, possibly from War Thunder. Corporate espionage.
One thing it would solve is put something in the game that WoT has without mods. Those are game features that are part of the game that WG has turned off for some reason and players use mods to turn them on.
You can turn both of those on manually and it's not hard just a matter of editing a text file.
Best of luck to all of you folks!
SweetFX seems to be what got people banned/suspended. Games won't allow something to hack into them from outside the game and alter their function; that kind of program can do anything it wants.

An extremely unusual apparition has left Zambian people in a state of shock and disbelief.
The gigantic humanoid was spotted floating menacingly over a shopping mall in Kitwe, Zambia's largest city. With a population of over half a million, you can be sure the strange alien being was witnessed by many pairs of eyes.
Panic immediately ensued, with hundreds of locals running away in fear. Others were more spiritually-inclined so they immediately started worshipping the alien entity as if it were an act of God.
Estimates place the size of the apparition at around 330 feet (100 meters) in length and it remained visible for over half an hour. The black shape appears darker and denser than the surrounding clouds, which leads us to believe this was not a freaky but natural event.
A simple analysis of the images reveals one thing: the similarity between the ethereal alien entity and humans or the humanoid form is uncanny, therefore not accidental. Whoever or whatever is responsible for the cloudy phantasm wanted to send a message. This theory is supported by the fact that the floating humanoid appeared to be looking down, meaning his attention was focused on the humans below.
One of the most popular conspiracy theories out there states that the New World Order has been secretly developing holographic technology so advanced it could dupe the entire planet into believing world-changing events are happening. Drawing on the general populace's greatest fears, Project Blue Beam would seek to disseminate concern, panic and eventually terror by projecting holograms into the sky.
An enormous space show taking place in all corners of the globe would create the illusion that the end times are near, making humanity vulnerable and susceptible to being conquered. As prophetic visions of the world's religions fill the sky, mayhem would take over major cities. Attacks that are carefully simulated and orchestrated would elevate panic levels to unprecedented levels, paving the way for the so-called New Messiah.
At the cost of everyone's freedom, this impostor would establish worldwide peace. But since everything would have been nothing but a simulation, said peace would be an empty prize for a fake contest.
Project Blue Beam makes for one heinous scenario and it's no wonder people shudder at the mere thought of something like that happening. If these photos are proof the gears of Project Blue Beam are already in motion, well… that's really bad news.
On the other hand, the photos could be fake or the result of some kind of publicity stunt, so don't go running for the hills. Not yet.

At work, do you ever get frustrated or baffled as to why others don't get your ideas when they seem crystal clear in your own mind?
Do you ever wonder why you get on with and relate to some people better than others with no clear reason as to why you should?
Have you wondered why your style and the way you do things differs wildly from that of others?
The truth is, if we dig deep enough we have all, at one time or another, experienced these emotions at work. But what can you do to overcome these barriers?
What has become known the world over as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the psychometric questionnaire was created to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world, how people make the decisions they do and how we can better understand people's personality differences.
How Can Louise Shepherd Associates & MBTI Help You?
Using group sessions and one-on-ones, our highly experienced facilitators work through the MBTI questionnaire to provide a constructive, flexible and lasting framework for your employees to understand each individual's differences, strengths and areas of improvement.
In the society we live in we are exposed to many different cultures, ideas, opinions and viewpoints and amongst many others, one of the most beneficial aspects of MBTI assessment is being able to understand some of our differences and use them to our advantage. It helps teams to achieve a better balance, collaborate and to benefit from the knowledge that there are different approaches to solving problems and unblocking bottlenecks that can stifle creativity and productivity.
With MBTI, there are no right or wrong types, just different types and at Louise Shepherd Associates we will work with you to make sure that you can exercise your strengths, explore areas for development and learn from every member of the team for the collective good.
By developing and increasing a collective understanding of other people's personalities and why we all do the things we do, we are all better placed to be more invested in what we do every day.


WITH CONFIDENCE will be here as part of their UK & European headline tour in 2017!
Four-piece Australian alternative rock band With Confidence are following up one hell of a 2016 with their first UK & European headline tour in February & March of 2017. Support will come from Broadside (UK only), Safetosay and Milestones. Tickets go on sale Wednesday 23rd November at 9am.
With Confidence made their first appearances in the UK earlier this year, playing Slam Dunk Festival and supporting As It Is across the country. They've also toured in Japan supporting The Wonder Years, spent a full summer on the Vans Warped Tour in the US and recently supported fellow Aussies 5 Seconds of Summer on home turf.
With Confidence's debut album, 'Better Weather' was released in June 2016 via Hopeless Records and it's a record that's struck a chord with fans worldwide, earning the band acclaim in the press and a continually burgeoning group of dedicated followers.
Formed in 2012 in Sydney, With Confidence is lead vocalist/bassist Jayden Seeley, backing vocalist/guitarist Inigo Del Carmen, guitarist Luke Rockets, and drummer Joshua Brozzesi. The band's second EP 'Distance' was released on January 13, 2015 and skyrocketed to #2 on the iTunes Alternative charts and #10 on the overall iTunes albums chart.

The 2021 Women's Final Four is set for April 2 and 4, 2021 in San Antonio, Texas. First round action for the 2021 NCAA women's basketball tournament will begin on March 19, 2021.
The 2020 tournament, as well as other winter and spring sports, were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The NCAA released the following statement to announce the 2020 men's and women's basketball championships and all other winter and spring sports are canceled.
Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men's and women's 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships. This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.

However, no No. 15 or No. 14 seed has won a game. There have been six No. 13 seeds to beat a No. 4. Three 13 seeds have also advanced to the Sweet 16 (2007 Marist; 2005 Liberty; 1994 Texas A&M). Gonzaga, a No. 11 seed in 2011, is the lowest seed to reach an Elite Eight. No double-digit seed has made the Women's Final Four.

HomeBureau of International Security and Nonproliferation Remarks & Releases...Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance (EXBS)
Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance (EXBS)
About EXBS
The Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance (EXBS) program is the U.S. Government's premier initiative to help other countries improve their export control systems. Managed by the Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, EXBS is designed to help prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their missile delivery systems, conventional weapons, and related items by assisting foreign governments to establish and implement effective export control systems that meet international standards.
U.S. Export Control System
The U.S. Government controls exports of sensitive equipment, software, and technology as a means to promote our national security interests and foreign policy objectives. Through our export control system, the U.S. Government can effectively:
Provide for national security by limiting access to the most sensitive U.S. technology and weapons
Promote regional stability
Take into account human rights considerations
Prevent proliferation of weapons and technologies, including of weapons of mass destruction, to problem end-users and supporters of international terrorism
Comply with international commitments, e.g., nonproliferation regimes and UN Security Council sanctions and UNSC resolution 1540
EXBS sponsors regional and global conferences to bring national policymakers and technical experts together to share information about proliferation challenges and the latest developments in the multilateral nonproliferation regimes, to compare experiences, and to facilitate information-sharing and networking. EXBS sponsors regular International Export Control Conferences and Global Transshipment Conferences, as well as many regional conferences. EXBS events have also focused on UNSCR 1540 implementation and improved controls on conventional arms, including MANPADS and small arms/light weapons, and dual-use items.
By keeping up with international best practices, governments and industry alike can ensure they are doing their part to help keep illicit goods out of the hands of proliferators.
Red Flags & Watch Lists
"Red Flag Indicators," from the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, encourage citizens to play an active role in the fight against proliferation and highlights specific activity indicative of potential export violations.
EXBS Resources
NGO's, multilateral control regimes, various departments of the U.S. Government, the European Union, and governments around the world are playing their respective parts in bolstering security by stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

The United States are preparing a war between Latin-American states
Source: Voltaire
by Thierry Meyssan
Little by little, the partisans of the Cebrowski doctrine are advancing their pawns. If they must cease creating wars in the Greater Middle East, they'll just turn around and inflame the Caribbean Basin. Above all, the Pentagon is planning to assassinate an elected head of state, ruin his country, and undermine the unity of Latin-America.
John Bolton, the new US National Security Advisor, has relaunched the Pentagon's project for the destruction of the State structures in the Caribbean Basin.
We remember that in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the Secretary for Defense at that time, Donald Rumsfeld, created the Office of Force Transformation and nominated Admiral Arthur Cebrowski as its Director. Its mission was to train the US army for its new role in the era of financial globalisation. It was designed to change military culture in order to destroy the State structures of the regions which were not connected to the global economy. The first chapter of this plan consisted of dislocating the « Greater Middle East ». The second stage was intended to perform the same task in the « Caribbean Basin ». The plan was designed to destroy some twenty coastal and insular States, with the exception of Colombia, Mexico and as far as possible, territories belonging to the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Holland.
When he arrived at the White House, President Donald Trump opposed the Cebrowski plan. However, two years later, he has so far only been able to prevent the Pentagon and NATO from handing over States to the terrorist groups they employ (the « Caliphate »), but not to stop manipulating terrorism. Concerning the Greater Middle East, he has managed to diminish the tension, but the wars still continue there at lower intensity. Concerning the Caribbean Basin, he restrained the Pentagon, forbidding them to launch direct military operations.
Last May, Stella Calloni revealed a note from Admiral Kurt Tidd, Commander in Chief of SouthCom, exposing the operations aimed at Venezuela [1]. A second penetration was simultaneously implemented in Nicaragua, and a third, running for the last half century, against Cuba.
Working from several previous analyses, we concluded that the destabilisation of Venezuela – beginning with the guarimbas movement, continued by the attempted coup d'etat of February 2015 (Operation Jericho) [2], then by attacks on the national currency and the organisation of emigration – would end with military operations [3] led from Brazil, Colombia and Guyana. Multinational manoeuvres of troop transport were organised by the United States and their allies in August 2017 [4]. This was made possible by the election of pro-Israëli President Jair Bolsonaro, who will come to power in Brasilia on 1 January 2019.

Egypt sentences Al Jazeera journalists
June 24, 2014 - NEWS
Two Al Jazeera English journalists have been sentenced to seven years in jail and one to 10 years by an Egyptian court on charges including aiding the Muslim Brotherhood and reporting false news.
The guilty verdicts were announced by a judge on Monday against Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy, and Baher Mohamed.
Greste and Fahmy were sentenced to seven years in prison, while Baher Mohamed was sentenced to an additional three years for possession of ammunition. Mohamed was in possession of a spent bullet casing he had found on the ground during a protest.
Other Al Jazeera journalists who were tried in absentia, including Sue Turton and Dominic Kane, were sentenced to 10 years.
Al Jazeera has strenuously rejected the charges against its journalists and maintains their innocence.
Greste, Fahmy, and Mohamed were arrested in December in Cairo as they covered the aftermath of the army's removal of Mohamed Morsi from the presidency in July.
The prosecution said Greste, Al Jazeera's East Africa correspondent, and his Egypt bureau colleagues aided the Brotherhood and produced false news reports of the situation in Egypt.
The Brotherhood, which supported Morsi, was listed as a "terrorist" organisation by the interim Egyptian government shortly before the accused were arrested.
The prosecution produced a number of items as evidence including a BBC podcast, a news report made while none of the accused were in Egypt, a pop video by the Australian singer Gotye, and several recordings on non-Egyptian issues.
The defence maintained that the journalists were wrongly arrested and that the prosecution had failed to prove any of the charges against them.
'Absurd allegations'
Al Anstey, Al Jazeera English managing director, said the verdicts defied "logic, sense, and any semblance of justice".
"Today three colleagues and friends were sentenced, and will continue to be kept behind bars for doing a brilliant job of being great journalists. 'Guilty' of covering stories with great skill and integrity. 'Guilty' of defending people's right to know what is going on in their world," Anstey said in a statement.
"Peter, Mohamed, and Baher and six of our other colleagues were sentenced despite the fact that not a shred of evidence was found to support the extraordinary and false charges against them. At no point during the long drawn out 'trial' did the absurd allegations stand up to scrutiny.
"There is only one sensible outcome now – for the verdict to be overturned, and justice to be recognised by Egypt."

US Sanctions Against Iran Hurting Renault, Peugeot
EghtesadOnline: French automotive companies PSA Group and Renault have linked declines in their first-quarter revenues to their forced withdrawal from Iran under threat of US sanctions.
Data from Iran's Ministry of Industries indicates a sharp fall in production of French-derived cars in Iran. In the past Iranian fiscal that ended in March, 328,152 French-derived cars were made, almost half compared to 604,526 units made in the previous year.
Peugeot maker PSA Group reported a 1.1% decline in its first-quarter revenue falling to €18 billion, mainly caused by dropping sales outside Europe. In a press release linking the fall to its Iran withdrawal, PSA says its global sales volumes fell 15.7% to 886,400 vehicles in the quarter "in particular due to the suspension of the group's activities in Iran."
Excluding Iran, deliveries fell 6.1%, weighed down by a 30% decline in Latin America. PSA's revenue dropped to €17.98 billion in the January-March quarter from €18.2 billion a year earlier, Financial Tribune reported.
Renault's revenue fell to €12.527 billion for January-March as deliveries declined by 5.6% to 908,348 vehicles, hit by its withdrawal from Iran last year.
Last year's pullout from the country under threat of US sanctions resulted in a 31% decline for Renault's Africa, Middle East, and India sales region, the carmaker said. Excluding Iran, global deliveries would have fallen a more modest 1.7%.
In a press release Renault points out that in Iran, the application of US sanctions led to the cessation of sales for the group since August 2018.
Data released by the Industries Ministry in Tehran shows that the number of cars made locally through collaboration between Iranian carmakers and their French partners declined 45.7% during the past fiscal.
The main car companies, Iran Khodro and SAIPA, both have ties to Renault. IKCO manufactures Renault Logan, known as Tondar 90 in the local market. SAIPA in addition to the Logan manufactures the Sandero and Sandero Stepway.
IKCO has an agreement with PSA Group's Peugeot and produces the Peugeot 405, 206 and 2008.
Prior to the new US sanctions SAIPA used to work with PSA Citroen and was slated to produce Citroen C3 in the central city of Kashan.
In the March 2018-19 fiscal, local firms made 328,152 vehicles in collaboration with their French partners, significantly lower than the 604,526 units a year earlier.
SAIPA-Citroen collaboration ended in late 2018. Data shows that 2,000 units of the C3 were made in Iran. However, Citroen production in Iran stopped after the new round of United States' restrictions.
In the past Iranian year, 274,997 cars bearing the Peugeot badge were made in Iran, down 38.5% from the 447,783 units a year ago.
Renault's operations in Iran have been hit harder compared to Peugeot. In the 2018-19 fiscal, Renault production in Iran fell to one-third of the 156,743 units made a year earlier.

"I did not pull the trigger"
In an interview, the actor and director talks about the day Halyna Hutchins died. At the same time, investigations into how the fatal accident could have occurred are in progress.
Alec Baldwin speaks in an interview about the day Halyna Hutchins died.
The 42-year-old camerawoman died while shooting Baldwin's new film Rust.
In an interview, Alec Baldwin says that it would be the worst thing that has ever happened to him.
That's about
More than a month after the accident on Film set, Alec Baldwin talks in an interview about the day Halyna Hutchins died.
In a one-hour interview, he answers the questions of the ABC moderator.
Investigations are still being made to clarify the course of the accident.
An emotional interview with actor and director Alec Baldwin will be broadcast on the US television channel "ABC" on Thursday evening. A two-minute teaser shows Baldwin burying his head in his hands. He starts to cry. He says it still doesn't feel real. TV presenter George Stephanopoulos asked the 63-year-old if the incident was the worst he had ever witnessed. "Yes, yes, because I think back and always think what I could have done," replies Baldwin.
He also talks about the killed camerawoman Halyna Hutchins (42): "She was someone who loved everyone who worked with her. And was admired by everyone, »says the director and holds his hand in front of his face, he begins to cry. "It's still hard to believe. It just doesn't feel real to me ».
Ammunition investigations
Moderator Stephanopoulos asks, the question that is probably most interesting is how this could have happened. "The gun was in her hand. It wasn't even in the script that the trigger should be pulled "," I didn't pull the trigger, "replies Baldwin before the moderator finished. "I would never pull the trigger if I was aiming at someone. I would never do that, "says Baldwin. "What do you think happened," he is asked. The whole interview should last an hour and be broadcast on «ABC» on Thursday evening.
It is still not clear how the fatal shooting accident happened on set. Investigations are ongoing. It also determines how the deadly cartridge got onto the set and into the pistol. As the BBC writes, a search warrant had been issued for an arms supplier in the USA.
The death of Halyna Hutchins
On the set of the new film "Rust", actor and director Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed camerawoman Halyna Hutchins. Director Joel Souza was also injured, but survived. How the incident came about is unclear. Baldwin assumed he was holding a so-called "cold weapon", that is, without live ammunition. In the weeks that followed, reports and speculation about it tumbled. The case is not yet closed and the investigation is still ongoing.

Hello, thank you to everyone who has ordered so far, I have a few updates.
Shopify Payments, the app I am using to accept payment, only allows me to authorize payments for 7 days before they expire and I would have to send out invoices to everyone. So here is what I'm going to do.
On Monday at or around 12PM EST (I'll post before I do this) I will capture all payments and switch all future orders over to automatic acceptance of payments.
If you'd like to cancel your order to place later please let me know before then.
You can cancel at any time before or after this and I will refund the order, just contact me via the contact sheet with your order number.
But it could come down but I'm trying to be conservative. If you'd like to order later or order from someone else during this time just let me know and I can cancel your order and refund you.
I placed an order for 50 IO boards and parts and 40 SDRAM boards, which should be enough to cover a good chunk of the orders, but it will take me some time to build and test them all.
I've also ordered some stencils and am looking into a reflow oven to help speed things up.
Thanks for your patience and please let me know if you have any questions.
I need to capture 6 more payments (1018-1024) to place this next order since I want to secure the parts before things go out of stock. I'll capture them in the morning (about 8 hours from now) but just wanted to keep people updated.
Thank you for your excitement and overwhelming support! I am about to capture payments for orders #1004 – #1018. I will then place the order for all needed parts. Payments for orders #1019 – #1033 will be captured next week and the process begins again. I expect to have the first round of orders done by the first weekend in November, but I will post updates as I go in case anything changes. Again thank you for your support. Let me know if you change your mind at any point and I'll refund you. I am planning to offer kits in the future too (non-preorder) so keep an eye out! Again, thank you!
Go to tinkerplunk.myshopify.com, add the items to your cart, and checkout.
Use code 5OFF to get $5 off orders over $50.
IO board is fully populated and includes a heatsink for the nano, currently does not include fan. Any 2 pin 5v 40mm fan will work. I'm working on sourcing some fans and will have them as a separate item as some users will want to splurge on the fan and get a noctua or similar.
Refer to the MiSTer Github for more information about the boards.
I will capture payments for the first 10-15 orders so that I can purchase boards. Everyone after that will have their payment authorized but not charged. I will charge when I am ready to place the next order and will post the order numbers I am about to charge at least 24 hours in advance, both here and on Twitter.
Cancel at any time, just let me know. Eta will be 2 weeks for the first few orders, and 4 weeks or more after that.
Returns/exchanges just pay return shipping, no questions asked.
Direct any questions to me via the contact page or by message on Twitter @tinkerplunk.

Hear the Best New Folk Music with Fresh Cuts Friday
BY Kim Ruehl
A new year is upon us, and we're excited about all the great music that will be coming our way in 2023. To kick it off, we're going to take one last peek back at the year we leave behind, to share some music you may have missed.
Some of this week's Fresh Cuts radio show with DJ Cindy Howes is pulled from our 2022 Listener Poll results. Some of it was released too late in the year to make anyone's list. Some of it peers forward to albums these artists are ready to drop in the coming weeks.
Scroll down for some highlights or tune in to hear Cindy spin some "Fresh Cuts" every Friday! You can hear it on the Folk Alley app or website, or by asking your Alexa to "play Folk Alley." The weekly Fresh Cuts radio hour, every Friday, at 2 p.m. Eastern/ 11 a.m. Pacific. (Or, if you can't make it for the live show, click on the Fresh Cuts stream on the FA app or website anytime that works for you.)
Justin Hiltner – "1992"
This incredibly moving song imagines banjoist and singer-songwriter Hiltner being born in a hospital at the same time as a gay man is dying from AIDS. It is the title track of his album 1992, which dropped December 9.
Town Mountain – "Comeback Kid"
Asheville, North Carolina-based bluegrass band Town Mountain returned in October with an album full of their signature lower Appalachian style. This song, in particular, grapples with the reality of trying to make a living in the music industry, where some nights you play to almost nobody.
Nic Gareiss & Allison de Groot – "Banging Breakdown"
This song from Nic Gareiss & Allison de Groot's 2022 visual album, The Thrill, is a wonderful example of the way they used music and dance to respond to the archives of musician/dancer Hobart Smith, born in 1897 in Saltville, Virginia.
Hurray for the Riff Raff – "Life on Earth"
This recording, released Dec. 21, 2022, was made in New Orleans's Esplanade Studios, while Segarra played their song "Life on Earth" backed by local heroes Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Sunny War – "Higher" (Featuring David Rawlings)
War's new album, Anarchist Gospel, isn't due out until February 3, but she released this single from it last year—a duet with esteemed guitarist David Rawlings.

The One Time Trump Didn't Blink
Trump has often folded during talks, but he chose to walk away from his summit with Kim Jong Un rather than take a deal he didn't like.
David A. Graham
Leah Millis / Reuters
No U.S. president has trained his audience to expect the unexpected as effectively as Donald Trump, so a strange conclusion to his summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un in Vietnam was always the most likely outcome.
What was surprising was the type of outcome: Trump abruptly left the summit and canceled a signing ceremony on the premise that no deal was better than a bad deal. And he did so, as my colleague Uri Friedman wrote, after raising the stakes sky-high for the summit, and at a time when domestic political considerations meant that he could desperately use a win. Trump ran for president heralding himself as a hard-nosed negotiator, but since taking office, he has often proved a pushover on tense negotiations. In Vietnam, however, Trump didn't blink.
The sticking point, Trump explained in a press conference, was international sanctions. Kim wanted them all removed in exchange for dismantling the Yongbyon nuclear complex. The United States wasn't willing to release all the sanctions absent far more North Korean concessions on its nuclear program. When the men couldn't bridge the divide, Trump walked. (North Korea's foreign minister countered that Pyongyang had asked for partial sanctions relief.)
Read: After raising the stakes for North Korea summit, Trump walks away
"Know when to walk away from the table," Trump wrote in his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal. Yet far too often, he hasn't seemed to recognize the moment. As I have written, Trump has folded in nearly every high-stakes negotiation.
This includes his first summit with Kim, in which Trump left Singapore with little to show except a spectacle. It includes the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the as-yet-unratified replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement that many analysts say is just a slight variation on its predecessor. Gun control, his threats to stop funding to countries that vote against the United States, his showdown with Democrats over border security: Time and again, it's Trump who flinches. Most recently, he has scaled back his calls for a fast, complete withdrawal of American troops from Syria. Within four months of his inauguration, foreign leaders had sized Trump up as an easy mark.
No wonder that South Korean President Moon Jae-in was taken off guard by Trump's decision to shut down the Vietnam summit. Moon had reportedly planned a major speech Friday to build on progress from the talks. It wasn't a bad bet: Trump had hyped the summit as a chance for a major victory, and Michael Cohen's stunning testimony in Washington on Wednesday, which wrenched the spotlight away from Trump, gave the president all the more reason to want to strike a deal. Instead, Trump took his own advice from three decades ago and left when he couldn't get a favorable agreement.
Why hasn't Trump shown this kind of resolve sooner? One reason that Trump is especially vulnerable in negotiations with foreign leaders is that he is neither well informed on the issues nor especially willing to put in the time to learn, meaning he comes to a negotiating table already tilted against him.
Trump has also often started from a position of weakness, especially in domestic affairs. He was the one asking for things. He wanted to repeal and replace Obamacare; he wanted to build the wall. And Congress, for various reasons, had serious hesitations about both. That made walking away harder for him. In real estate, there's always another deal to cut somewhere else. But there's only one Obamacare to repeal, and only one Congress to negotiate with. Trump has much at stake in the North Korea negotiations, but Kim has even more.
The peculiarity of Trump's hard-nosed approach came into relief during a press conference before he departed. The president was asked about Otto Warmbier, the American student who died shortly after being returned to the United States from North Korean captivity in 2017. His family says he was "brutally tortured," and Warmbier returned to the United States in a coma. At the time, Trump was unsparing in his response.
"Otto's fate deepens my administration's determination to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency," he said in a statement. "The United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim."
Trump said on Thursday that he had asked Kim about the case, but he then went on to absolve Kim of any responsibility, saying that any harm to Warmbier wouldn't be "in his interest at all."
"I did speak to him. He felt very badly. But he knew the case very well, but he knew it later. And, you know, you got a lot of people. A big country," Trump said. "He tells me that he didn't know about it, and I will take him at his word."
Read: Trump thinks he's the only one who can fix North Korea
Trump added that "those prisons are rough"—which is exactly the problem. Why Trump would trust the word of a dictator who oversees a vast network of brutal prisons is beyond reason, but it is in line with Trump's previous positions, when he has taken the word of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi) and Russian President Vladimir Putin (on intervention in the 2016 election) over the conclusions of his own intelligence agencies.
Trump's deference earned him an implicit rebuke from Nikki Haley, his former United Nations ambassador. While Haley had policy differences with Trump, she has also been careful to avoid reprimanding him. She tweeted:
Americans know the cruelty that was placed on Otto Warmbier by the North Korean regime. Our hearts are with the Warmbier family for their strength and courage. We will never forget Otto. ❤🇺🇸
— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) February 28, 2019
The Warmbier remarks go to show that Trump can eventually be persuaded to follow his own advice and walk away, but that shouldn't be taken to indicate that he has lost his ardor for authoritarians or wised up about their wiles. It just means that sometimes the old deal-making reflexes can kick in.

And yet, there it is, gathered into a tidy bundle on Wikipedia. *sigh* Even ten years ago, I would probably have just BS'd my way through, knowing she had a whole bunch of number ones. But now I actually KNOW. That piece of useless trivia probably just overwrote three SG-1 episode titles and my sister-in-law's birthday. THANKS YULETIDE.
But I have about 3K on the story and it's getting closer.
And then, last night, there was THAT THING THAT HAPPENED ON TEE VEE.
Damn, these last few Criminal Minds have been just wrenching. I empathize with Hotch and Haley and Little Jack a little TOO much, I think. I always liked Haley, unlike most of fandom, because I understood her. I know women like her who couldn't take the hours and the danger of being married to a cop, no matter how much they love their husbands. I liked the two of them together, and kind of hoped they'd get back together. *sad sigh* But really, I have to love the writers for remembering to treat her death with the amount of dignity and loss it deserved. So often in these sorts of storylines, the aftermath is left to just the tag and the next episode it's like nothing happened.
Case? Whatever. Don't care. My heart is completely stomped on.
But I love the way Morgan's stepped up this season in his absence. And finally Rossi was less intellectual about it all, and offered some real understanding. I was also pleased that the show didn't forget JJ's situation, and how it very well could mirror Hotch-- she's really been playing it as if it hits even closer to home to her, as it should.
I wish Gideon would show up to talk to Hotch, though, even though I know it won't happen. He could offer a different viewpoint on why he SHOULD leave, when the deck was stacked so highly the other way (understandably since Gibson's not leaving the show, but still, it was presented as such an all-or-nothing, there was no real choice). It was a lovely ending, anyway.
