On 1 September 1997, the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) was established by an Act of Parliament (the Rural Fires Act 1997) as the successor to the Bush Fires Act, redefining the world's largest fire service and building on a century of experience in protecting some of the most fire-prone areas on earth.
Today the NSW RFS comprises over 2,100 rural fire brigades with a total volunteer membership of approximately 72,000. In addition, over 900 staff members are employed to manage the day to day operations of the Service at District Fire Control Centres, Regional Offices, Customer Service Centres, Operational and Mitigation Support Service bases and Headquarters at Lidcombe. You can see more detail in our Structure Chart.
Although fighting fires and protecting the community from emergencies is the most visible aspect of the NSW RFS, the Service has many responsibilities as the leading agency for bush fire management and mitigation in NSW.
The administration of the NSW RFS is part of the larger NSW Public Sector. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the Commissioner. Employment of staff members is governed by the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 (the Act), the Crown Employees (Rural Fire Service 2009) Award (the Award) and the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Award 2009.
The NSW RFS is located in over 150 centres right across NSW. The majority of these centres are located in Districts. However, we have four Regional Offices (North, South, East and West), three Customer Service Centres (Glendenning, Coffs Harbour and Batemans Bay) and 20 Operational and Mitigation Support Service bases plus our Headquarters at Lidcombe.
The NSW RFS employs a range of people with a variety of skills and varying backgrounds. Essentially, the work carried out at Regional and District levels includes Membership (Brigade management, Learning and Development, OHS&R, staffing etc), Operations (response, hazard management, mitigation planning, community engagement etc), Infrastructure (brigade stations, fleet, communications, IT etc) and Management. Our corporate areas include positions in the areas of environmental planning and assessment, development control, corporate planning, research, finance, information technology, volunteer support, human resources, engineering and executive services, just to name a few.

Beijing Institute of Technology and UCLan Celebrate 20 Years of Partnership
Over 80 graduates from the UCLan-BIT Joint Programme were reunited in Beijing this week for an Alumni event to celebrate the programme's 20th birthday.
Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT)'s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Long Teng, welcomed the Alumni and UCLan staff at the beginning of the event, before thanking UCLan for being BIT's first international partner to introduce the high quality teaching programme in Electronic Engineering; helping BIT to become a truly international university in China.
UCLan Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Corporate Planning and International Strategy) Liz Bromley was invited to make a speech in which she reviewed the history of a longstanding, successful collaboration between UCLan and BIT in teaching, student exchange programmes and staff training since 1998. The speech was followed by the Faculty Director (Business Development), Martin Brown, who introduced the ongoing business development between UCLan and BIT, such as the new '3+1+1' articulation proposal for introducing BIT regular students to UCLan's undergraduate and postgraduate engineering courses.
8 outstanding students who are currently studying the programme were provided with scholarship awards and were congratulated by Liz Bromley, after the founders of the Joint Programme, Lik-Kwan Shark (UCLan) and Mei Wenbo (BIT), shared their remarkable experience of developing the programme 20 years ago.
BIT is one of China's top rated universities in science and engineering, which UCLan has had a partnership with since 1998 when the Joint Programme for BEng(Hons) in Electronic Engineering was established. Currently there are over 100 students studying on the programme. Throughout the partnership, there have been regular staff exchanges between the two institutions, and a series of student experience programmes have been developed including UCLan-BIT Engineering Summer School and Undergraduate Research Internship.

Many naval operations occur in littoral regions between a moving shoreline and water depths of 10~20 meters, including river mouths and estuaries. The success of such operations depends on the in-depth understanding and accurate prediction of the physical environment in these highly nonlinear and dynamic regions. In nature, sediments covering the world's coastal ocean bottoms are rather diverse, ranging from permeable sands to silts and clays. The Louisiana coast with sandy barrier islands, tidal flats and soft mud bottoms is losing 25 to 30 square miles of coastal wetlands each year. Protection and restoration of the Louisiana coast requires better predictive capabilities of coastal processes in the deltaic sedimentary environment It is well known that many physical processes, such as undertows, rip currents and longshore currents as well as morphological responses, are controlled by the transformation and breaking of surface waves on the open coast, while river discharges and tide/wind-driven circulation are the primary forcing agents for morphological changes in river mouths and estuaries. An accurate prediction of nearshore surface waves, coastal circulation and sediment transport is essential to many military and civilian operations in coastal regions.
Although the second-generation Boussinesq-type models have proven to be effective tools to simulate nearshore wave propagation and breaking-generated horizontal circulation, applications are still limited by high computational costs as well as the assumptions of idealized seabed conditions and weak horizontal vorticity components, which may not be applicable in deltaic or river mouth environments with soft mud seabed and strong stratification owing to large fresh water inflows. It is well known that the accuracy of nearshore sediment transport models strongly depends on the accuracy of the driving force, or the result of the hydrodynamic modelThe need for advanced wave and hydrodynamic modeling tools and a better understanding of the coastal processes in deltaic sedimentary and hydrodynamic environments calls for a new generation of Boussinesq-type models with much higher accuracy in dispersion, nonlinearity and vorticity as well as new numerical solution and computing techniques.
Simulation data may be analyzed and visualized by a range of external applications, such as Amira, IDL, or OpenDX, and can also be analyzed in-line by use of a web-server module. Cactus is used and developed by numerous application communities internationally, including Numerical Relativity, Climate Modelling, Astrophysics, Biological Computing, and Chemical Engineering. It is a driving framework for a number of computing infrastructure projects, particularly in Grid Computing, such as GridLab, GriKSL, and the Astrophysical Simulation Collaboratory.
The long-term goal of the proposed study is to develop and enhance the research and educational capabilities in the area of coastal engineering and science in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Louisiana State University (LSU) while simultaneously supporting the Navy's research goals in the areas of Coastal Geosciences (Code 321) and Physical Oceanography (Code 322).
The specific objectives of this project are to:
develop the capability of modeling coastal circulation and nearshore surface waves in deltaic sedimentary and hydrodynamic environments in an integrated modeling framework by extending the Boussinesq theory for nearshore hydrodynamics to muddy coasts and non-hydrostatic three- dimensional (3D) flow regimes with stratifications,
complement the Office of Naval Research recent research initiatives on Tidal Flats and Wave-Mud Interactions by integrating the new modeling system with the field data collected in those programs.
simulate large-scale, long-term problems in the deltaic environment by integrating the application-oriented modeling system with massive-processor computing facilities and technologies available at LSU and in Louisiana.

Q: NestJS handle config service dynamically The following code:
import { HttpModuleOptions, HttpModuleOptionsFactory, Inject, Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ConfigType } from '@nestjs/config';
import { DotEnv } from '../../../common/enums/dotenv.enum';
import { DotEnvError } from '../../../common/errors/dot-env.error';
import zendeskConfig from '../../../config/zendesk.config';

@Injectable()
export class ZendeskHttpConfigService implements HttpModuleOptionsFactory {
  constructor(@Inject(zendeskConfig.KEY) private zendesk: ConfigType<typeof zendeskConfig>) {}

  createHttpOptions(): HttpModuleOptions {
    if (!this.zendesk.url || !this.zendesk.username || !this.zendesk.password)
      throw new DotEnvError(DotEnv.ZENDESK_URL, DotEnv.ZENDESK_USERNAME, DotEnv.ZENDESK_PASSWORD);

    return {
      baseURL: this.zendesk.url,
      auth: {
        username: this.zendesk.username,
        password: this.zendesk.password
      }
    };
  }
}

I would like to handle this.zendesk.url dynamically.
In my controller I call an endpoint with a query param.
For example if the query param is "a" I would like to set this.zendesk.urlA and
if "b" I would like to set this.zendesk.urlB
Does NestJs allow that?

Hello from Alden Hills! If you're like me then you are pretty excited for today (its opening day for the Cubs if you aren't a baseball fan… or worse a Cardinals fan).
I wanted to talk about something that came up a few times this month while talking with Farm customers. If you remember in one of my earlier posts I had talked about how the sustainable farming model is, at times, rooted in philosophy as much as science. What I mean by philosophy is that there are things that we do that come from a basis of "common sense" or "this is the right way to do things." Now we have nutritional science to back us up on why a chicken is healthier when raised on pasture or cattle are allowed to freely graze in fresh grass but… is there science that says a "happy" chicken (or cow) is better for you? Not really. So why is the setting that our animals are raised in important? This is where sustainable farming becomes philosophical.
At Alden Hills we keep all of our animals outside (the only exception is freshly hatched chicks spend a couple weeks in warm brooding houses before they are ready for the great outdoors). Why do we farm in this model? After all you CAN be certified organic and produce a decent product in a factory farm prototype. We believe that we can produce a GREAT product by taking it to the next step and giving our animals fresh air and sunshine. It seems right to us that animals should be raised in the environment that they were designed for.
One intangible aspect of raising livestock is how they are handled. If you've ever seen videos of how a confinement farm handles their animals then you know what I am talking about… when dealing with our animals, whether it's laying eggs or herding, animals do respond better when they trust their farmer. We believe that our methods of interacting with our animals is the right way to do it.
A more sobering side to this philosophy is how our animals are processed. When butchering time comes it is very important to us that our animals are in a stress-free environment and do not suffer. Part of our Organic certification is ensuring that our butcher uses the most humane treatment methods when the time comes. It is not always nice to think about this side of farming but it's an important aspect of what we do. We put a lot of care in raising our animals and we don't ever want to see our animals suffer.
At Alden Hills, we believe that the "how" is just as important as the "what" in farming. We believe that raising an animal "the right way" is a big part of our farming philosophy.
We always encourage farm tours, if you're ever in the area we would love for you to stop by! We're proud of the way we choose to raise our animals and we'd love to show you that as well.

Attitude… what is your attitude like on a daily basis? Is your attitude pleasant? Do you react negatively in difficult situations? Or is your attitude something you are happy about? The attitude you have towards life all determine your life's outcomes. Your attitude is your perspective and viewpoint. Your thoughts, feelings, emotions, behavior, actions and reactions all add up to your attitude. What you feel inside and what you think about creates your external surroundings. If you consistently act in such a way; that is exactly what you are to be and get in return. When obstacles do arise, and by having a positive attitude, you will see that it is an opportunity for you—to challenge yourself and to learn and grow—so you can become better at who you are.
You are in control of your own attitude; therefore, make it what you wish. If you wake up late for an important event, it is on you to either go on with your day by being angry that you did so, or you can simply not let it bother you and move on with a smile. It is known that if you have a happy, positive attitude you shall receive successful outcomes. If you have a lousy attitude, always complaining, you shall bring more of those experiences to you. Your attitude can make you or break you so stay focused on it. If you are unhappy with your attitude, you have the choice to change and adjust it anytime you like. If you choose to have a kind and grateful attitude towards everything; then you are choosing to better your health and your life. Focus within and pay attention to the events that takes place in your life—because it is all in accords with your attitude. Think and feel happy thoughts, be grateful for all that you do have and notice the abundant, healthier person you are.

Please take a look at the classes we offer and contact us with your class of interest to make sure there is still spots available in class. If you do fill out a registration form for a class that is full we will put you on a waiting list and contact you the moment your name comes up next on the list!
Once you're ready to get started fill out our online registration form by clicking below.
Classes for ages 6-18yrs. From beginners (no experience needed) to advanced level tumblers. Boys and girls!
Tuition does not change on these months. An open tumbling will be credited to each student for each class missed due to the gym being closed. This way your student does not miss that time paid for. These make up times can be used before or after the date of the missed class. They do not expire, use at your convenience.
Set up: Scroll down under the option "First time student" and click "Evaluation lesson".
Requirements: Student must be 3 or older. No experience to advanced levels welcomed.
What to expect: After the lesson coach Levi will recommend a class in TSA's program. If he feels that Tumble Smart is not the right fit for your student he will recommend you to another tumbling gym that will fill your students tumbling needs.
Set up: Scroll down to view the options below to schedule individual lessons or buy packages for savings. Once lesson is scheduled you will receive a confirmation email where you can cancel or reschedule anytime.
Coach Levi's goal is to provide confidence along with mental and physical strength that will last beyond the 30 minutes or hour of instruction so the student can use the knowledge in classes, open tumbling and most importantly outside the walls of Tumble Smart. What sets coach Levi's private lessons apart from other coaches is the time and effort he spends apart from the time the student is in their lesson. He writes notes before, during and after each student's lesson about what helped them in that particular lesson and what they can improve on. He also takes videos (powered by coaches' eye app) to share with the student but also to review for their next lesson. Lastly, as needed he will send home drills as homework to improve muscle memory and strength even while they are not in the gym.
Semi-Privates are 2-4 students who decide to share a private lesson spot. The cost of the lesson is split between those doing it. 30 minute lessons are up to 2 kids and hour are up to 4. When you find a spot agreed upon by all parties under "First Name" put the first and last name off all students in the lesson and under "Last Name" put "Semi-Private" this way coach Levi knows how to plan the lesson accordingly.
We travel to several schools once a week to provide the highest level of tumbling for Varsity and JV cheer teams. We also provide gym rental space to any squad looking to work on tumbling, stunts or cheers.
If interested in either service please contact us, we'd be happy to work with your team inside or outside of our gym!

Although there has been little national media attention, on November 7th, there will major Statewide elections in VA and NJ and Local mayoral elections in many cities including Atlanta, Atlantic City, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Jersey City, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, Pittsburgh, Rochester, St. Paul, St. Petersburg, and Seattle (balloting concludes). Notably, every elected statewide office will be voted upon in Virginia, including the 100 seats for the entire house of delegates, and local municipal elections. As a critical swing state, all eyes will be on Va to determine whether the elections will be a harbinger of national electoral trends.
In New Jersey there will be elections for Governor and Lt. Governor as well as the mayoral races indicated above.
Because of the lack of media focus and a tendency for many voters to engage in presidential voting, lots of voters in VA and NJ are unaware that voter registration deadlines are closing in next seven days. Our show will discuss those voter registration deadlines and how All of our listeners can help people in those states to be educated about timely registering and available resources to do so. Also, we will discuss new voter identification requirements in VA and any other requirements for Election Day. It is estimated that 193,000 Virginians may be discouraged from voting due to the new voter ID requirements. Our show will encourage voting by providing resources to assist voters with Voter identification issues.
Issues to be discussed during the show include: What is the voter registration deadlines in Virginia and New Jersey?; How do I register to vote?; Where can I get assistance to register to vote?; What special outreach is being done to mobilize the vote for November 7th?; Who can help me obtain right voter identification for voting in Virginia?; How do I learn more about the candidates running for office? What can I do to help voters? And other policy and election related issues will be covered.

Travel advice for the Gambia
Swiss representation in the Gambia
Bilateral relations Switzerland–the Gambia
Info on requirements for entry/visas for the Gambia
Switzerland recognized The Gambia's independence in 1965 and has maintained diplomatic relations with the West African republic since 1966. Between 1988 and 1995, Switzerland was one of The Gambia's most important donor countries. The bilateral treaty on support for the country elapsed at the end of 1995 and was not renewed.
Despite agreements on the protection of investment and on civil aviation, economic exchange between the two countries remained modest, and the volume of trade diminished even further after the military coup in 1994.

First Lady Promotes Healthy Lifestyles in Nevada
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010, 8:03pm
LAS VEGAS -- First Lady Michelle Obama promoted healthy lifestyles among women and children Tuesday in Nevada and tried to help breathe life into the re-election campaign of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, calling him "one of my favorite people in the world."
"Over the years, he has been a tireless advocate on behalf of women," Obama told about 1,600 people in a keynote address to a women's summit in a downtown Reno convention hall.
The Nevada Democrat, facing trouble in the polls in his bid for a fifth term in November, has been a leader on such things as health care reform for women, protection from domestic violence and equal pay for equal work, she said.
Obama then headed south to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area near Las Vegas to talk with children and support the "Let's Move Outside" initiative, urging outdoor activity with children.
Woman Pleads Guilty in DUI Death
LAS VEGAS -- A woman accused of driving drunk and causing a deadly accident entered a guilty plea in court Tuesday.
Miranda Dalton was driving drunk on April 9th when she rear-ended 28-year-old Paul Maidman's car killing him.
In the weeks following the crash, Maidman's family launched a Facebook campaign to seek the maximum penalty for Dalton.
Dalton will be sentenced on August 16th. She faces eight to 20 years in prison.
Senate Hopeful Starts Petition for Ariz.-Style Immigration Law
Friday, May 28th, 2010, 6:53pm
LAS VEGAS -- Senate hopeful Chad Christensen wants to do two things: bring Arizona's controversial immigration law to Nevada and require everyone to have a photo ID when they vote.
The assemblyman says this would cut down on widespread voter fraud that local election officials say doesn't even exist.
Christensen was the first to sign the ballot initiative.
"12.2-percent of all the workers in the state of Nevada are illegal immigrants. Those numbers come from the Pew Hispanic Center," he said.
The bill would make it illegal to drive by a store and pick up day laborers. Right now, illegal immigrants are deported after immigration officers pick them out in jail. The attorney who wrote the bill says loitering or being pulled over for an illegal lane change could be seen as probable cause for deportation.
Judge Approves Auctioning Station Casino Hotels
RENO, Nev. -- A federal bankruptcy judge in Nevada has approved a plan to auction 11 Station Casinos properties on the open market.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Gregg Zive in Reno said Friday that he'll supervise the Aug. 6 sale. The judge says he wants to control disentangling what he called a complex set of relationships with "legal issues and questions at every step of that separation."
The proposal would spin off the Red Rock Resort, Palace Station, Sunset Station, Boulder Station and Wild Wild West properties into a holding company owned by company lenders, real estate investor Colony Capital, and members of the casino company's founding family.
The holding company would offer $772 million for the remaining 11 casinos, land holdings, and American Indian casino contracts as one entity.
Tivoli Village Announces March 2011 Opening Date
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010, 11:35am
LAS VEGAS -- The $850 million Tivoli Village at Queensridge mixed-use development is now scheduled to open in March 2011.
Heavy-duty building work at the village resumed late last year after a 10-month slowdown. Grading and infrastructure work on the 30-acre site started in 2006 and the initial projected opening date was fall 2009. But Tivoli's developers slowed construction in December 2008 to give the economy time to recover.
The development in western Las Vegas near Summerlin said Monday several tenants have signed leases. Tivoli will open with up to 40 retailers, about eight restaurants and several fast-food outlets. Tivoli says it's leasing more than 370,000 square feet of space.
Woman Accused of DUI Fatal Crash Waives Preliminary Hearing
Monday, May 24th, 2010, 6:32pm
LAS VEGAS -- A woman charged with killing a Las Vegas man faced a judge Monday. Police say Miranda Dalton was drunk when she slammed her Jeep into the back of Paul Maidman's car killing him.
Twenty-nine-year-old Dalton waived her right to a preliminary hearing in court Monday morning. She is expected to enter a guilty plea and avoid trial.
Now, the victim's family is looking for justice and they're getting their support through Facebook and a website. But some of their postings have created a stir. They want to be sure Dalton receives the maximum penalty for her actions but some say they're crossing the line.
Pictures tell a horrifying story of how 28-year-old Paul Maidman died on April 9th. Police reports say Dalton rammed into his car pushing it into a pole.
"He had everything going for him and now everything has been taken away," said Mark Maidman's, Paul's father.

my first version of Allington, which is unashamedly modeled on Woody Bay, was of plywood construction and lasted for many years before finally being retired to the wheelie bin.
I've now moved away from ply totally and have experimented with a few more permanent materials.
The reincarnation of Woody Bay was built using Jig Stones, a product I'm sure you will all be familiar with, but perhaps have not as yet got around to trying them out.
The station is mainly single storey, which was a big bonus in that there were far less 'bricks' to cast and it avoided the problem of high walls and stability issues.
The first floor section was rescued from the original model and is in plasticard.
The windows are from a preformed sheet , an excellent product that I hope to find a further supply of at Stoneleigh.
the roof is acrylic sheet, sold in BandQ for secondary glazing and other 12'' to the foot projects.
The tiles are Marley floor tiles, sadly now discontinued. they also did them is a very useful slate grey. Not too attractive in your kitchen, but great on a roof.
I hope the following three images illustrate the construction.

What's Wrong With Yu?
Dodgers • Opinion • Players
If the season ended right now and it was up to me, Yu Darvish would not make the post-season roster. I know, that's a terrible idea after the Dodgers traded three prospects (including Willie Calhoun) to acquire Darvish, but he's not pitching well. I want Darvish on the post-season roster, but only if he starts pitching well. Something's wrong with Darvish. What is it?
The first problem is the lack of fastball command. What Rick Monday and Kevin Kennedy noticed last night was that Yu Darvish had no fastball command. I'm watching the archived game as I'm writing this and I agree with them. Darvish was missing the targets that he was given. By a lot. Here's what Darvish is saying about it.
"There's a gap between what I'm thinking in my mind and what I'm actually doing on the mound," he said. "If I fix that, I feel I can pitch much better. As an example, sometimes I crow step too much to the third-base side but in my mind I'm stepping toward first-base side. It's got me off course. Say you think you are walking straight, but you actually aren't and you're trying to fix it, that's frustrating, right? It's the same thing."
Darvish has been trying to throw all six of his pitches without establishing any of them. Yasmani Grandal is trying to get Darvish to establish his fastball and curveball. If he does that every game, his other four pitches will be devastating. If he doesn't establish anything, you can write all of his starts down as losses.
Hopefully, Darvish can recover from his struggles. If not, I'd rather have Hyun-Jin Ryu on the mound in the postseason. I hope that Rick Honeycutt can fix Darvish.

Kershaw's Been Uncharacteristic Lately


Ah! Did you say... handsome?
One guy returned to his hotel room after a long day at comic-con.
He bought an item for his rather well done, to him at least, cosplay. A simple bokken is what he got, something he did not expect to find at all through his wanderings at the con. He pulled it out of it's packaging, why it was in packaging he did not know, and suddenly found himself... displaced.
As Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder of Furikan High (Now Canterlot High) no less.

Mike Sterling's Progressive RuinGetting through times of no money since 1969
"Ebon-Isz and Ivor-Isz / Live together in perfect harmon-Isz"
§ January 27th, 2014 § Filed under misfit toys, retailing § 9 Comments
So let's gaze long into this abyss:
…which is just one of the boxes recently donated to our shop last week…the remnants of what was once another comic book store's stock. The previous owners tired of these multiple boxes of comics and toys occupying space in their storage, and thus they now occupy space in our storage.
Well, okay, not all of the boxes. The acquisition of any large collection usually results in a small percentage of the received items being desirable, usable items, and the greater portion mostly being stuff like this. The jury is still out on how much of this collection will be of use to us, since we're still going through it. My first pass through resulted in about half of the comics going straight to the bargain bins — so long, Brigade ! — while we're still going through the other half which is just on the threshold of possibly being sellable items. It's mostly late '80s – mid '90s material, but there are plenty of Valiant titles, Amazing Spider-Man issues, some Deadpool , and other goodies that are in enough demand to warrant some double-checking prior to consigning them to bargain-box purgatory.
That's just the comics. The toys, on the other hand, were packed haphazardly into a handful of beaten-up cardboard boxes, and if they were intended for sale before, the condition they're in now make most of them pretty much useless. I half-suspect some rough playing with the toys occurred after the removal from the store, because there sure are a lot of limbless and otherwise busted figures in there.
But then again, that particular box pictured above was marked "ACTION FIGURE ACCESSORIES – $0.25 EACH" so maybe they just had a bunch of used toys they were trying to unload for anything, and now I guess it's my turn. I briefly though about trying to match up some of the bits 'n' pieces in that cardboard box with the action figures in the other boxes, but I'm too close to death to use up my precious remaining minutes doing that.
The box did contain a few of these fellas:
…the Iszs or Iszes or Iszeseses or whatever from The Maxx , presented here in 1 1/4-inch tall bendable-arms form. These had originally been packaged with Maxx action figures, but I didn't see any of those in the boxes. Apparently there was a bag of Isz figurines once available from the McFarlane Toys fan club, so maybe that's where they all came from.
Also in the box was a canister of this stuff:
…and since the picture is a bit blurry, thanks to my fantastic camera skills, I shall read the label to you, which says "ALIENS OOZE PLAY GEL – slimy ooze traps unsuspecting prey!" Sadly, this item dates from 1994, and a perusal of the gel within:
…shows us that its slimy days of trapping unsuspecting prey are long behind it. Maybe you can bean your prey upside the head by tossing that hard-rubbery lump at it.
As long as I've got your attention, it occurs to me that it's been a long time since I've trolled any of you. So…
Like I said, we're still digging through these boxes, so I may yet find more goodies of interest to show you. Like this Image Comics editorial preview package from 1995:
…which should prove to be equal parts nostalgic, hilarious, and depressing, so let's all look forward (or backward!) to that.
9 Responses to ""Ebon-Isz and Ivor-Isz / Live together in perfect harmon-Isz""
Mike Zeidler says:
I would gladly take those Isz off your hand if the price is right.
Snark Shark says:
ohhhhhhhh I want to go through all those toy weapons! there's bound to be some Star Wars or GI Joe stuff in there!
"that it's been a long time since I've trolled any of you"
NYUK NYUK NYUK! Look, it's Wolverine without the personality!
" I briefly though about trying to match up some of the bits 'n' pieces in that cardboard box with the action figures in the other boxes, but I'm too close to death to use up my precious remaining minutes doing that. "
yeah, it's hard to do if you're not already familiar with the stuff.
philfromgermany says:
Ahh, Troll.
The perfect marriage of Puck and Wolverine. I remember his big one-shot comic not being so bad at all, but now I have the suspicion it was more or less a total rip-off of an Alpha Flight Puck story by John Byrne…
Wayne Allen Sallee says:
Mike: do you have to inventory each toy (or have Employee Aaron do it)? I don't necessarily buy action figures, but if there are weird, random, spaceships in there,I might be interested.
Maybe once you go through everything, you can post something like A/ xxx amount of action figures and B/ xxx amount of other crap.
googum says:
Darnit, I already get "Ebony and Ivory" stuck in my head when I see my girlfriend's cat's white fur lumped up with my dog's black fur–this isn't helping!
And I would love to dig through that weapons box myself!
It's like some kind of secreted resin.
Nearly spit out my drink at that one, Casey. Well done.
kid nicky says:
I really want that Troll figure.
Rich says:
Who the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks is Troll?
Oh, Youngblood character. Never read it, don't care. Nevermind. I'll leave it at that.

If you are setting up a small business or a home-based bookkeeping business, ideally you will be looking to use suitable software to keep track of the accounts for each business.
There is a multitude of products out there that can help you do this but short of reviewing each one individually, it is difficult to suggest the best one for your business.
As the requirements of each business will be different, here are some of the software features you need to compare against your business needs before deciding which product to purchase.
Full-service accounting firm deserves professional and personalized services, as well as guidance in your daily business decisions.
Thus, the income statement/profit and loss account of a firm report the results of operations in terms of income/net profit in a year. The profit and loss account can be presented broadly in two forms: the usual account form and step form.
In operational terms, the accounting report that summarizes the revenue items, the expense items and the difference between them (net income) for an accounting period is called the income statement. There are three contents of the profit and loss account: revenues, expenses and net income/profit/loss.
Revenues can be defined as the income that accrues to the firm by the sale of goods/services/assets or by the supply of the firm's resources to others.
An important item of expense appearing in the profit and loss account is the cost of goods sold. The difference between revenues and expenses is net profit. The profit and loss account may also show the appropriation of the net profits between dividends paid to the shareholders and retained earnings/ amount transferred to reserves and surplus.

Anteriorment, havia estat regidora a l'Ajuntament des del 2003. És afiliada a Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds i n'és la presidenta a la seva ciutat.

Muñoz va ser cap de llista de la confluència Sant Feliu En Comú Podem, integrada per ICV, EUiA i Podem, entre d'altres. Va accedir a l'alcaldia de la ciutat després que Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya i Tots per Sant Feliu votessin a favor seu al ple d'investidura, fet que va deixar la socialista Lourdes Borrell i Moreno a l'oposició.

Més enllà dels seus càrrecs a nivell municipal, Muñoz també acumula responsabilitats a òrgans com el Consell Metropolità de l'Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona, la Xarxa Innpulso, el Consell General de l'Associació Pla Estratègic de Barcelona i la Xarxa Audiovisual Local SL, entre d'altres.

Karl Lagerfeld has made us want trainers and backpacks and now he's making us want Mohawks.
For yesterday's Chanel Couture show, Karl Lagerfeld and hairstylist Sam McKnight refashioned the hair of fashion's top girls into 80s boyband stars, with slicked back sides and mega quiffs.
Models Sam Rollinson, Ming Xi, Kendall Jenner and Malaika Firth were photographed Chanel's tweed dresses and embellished gowns, but it was the backstage selfies in their white top and stonewashed jean model uniform that made this a look to consider wearing out. What Blush loved most was the sharp silver swept across models' eyelids, offset by a strong groomed brow. King Karl does it again.
All around stylish chic. Who did the make-up? Fauxhawk hair style looking good. Haute couture J'adore!


Bondi Wash Baby Wash is a truly gentle baby wash, containing 100% natural ingredients.
This gentle wash features Australian Emu Apple extract to nourish and protect baby's skin, and is lightly fragranced with the Bondi Wash Blue Cypress & Petitgrain essential blend, designed to be safe for use on babies.
Gentle and very lightly scented.
This has such a gentle fragrance and does not leave the skin feeling dry or tight. It is also not slippery, so I would recommend this for little babies.
However for toddlers who like a few bubbles to play in, this does not foam up.

GameDaily Connect USA: Tommy Tallarico to talk innovation, new growth markets in the game industry
Our industry insights track will be essential viewing as Tommy Tallarico, head of Intellivision, heads up a panel about couch co-op titles and key moments of change in the industry.
Tommy Tallarico is a composer and veteran game designer. Tallarico is well-known for being the brains behind the Video Games Live concert series, an immersive concert event that's toured the world putting on live video game stage shows with the backing of a full symphony orchestra. Now, Tallarico is firmly eyes front as he sits in the Intellivision Entertainment hotseat and prepares for its upcoming launch of the Amico. The Amico is set to make strides as a child-friendly alternative to modern consoles, whilst also looking forward to the future.
Before moving into his current position as CEO and President of Intellivision Entertainment, Tallarico netted an impressive three decades worth of experience in the game industry and was a smart pick to revitalize the Intellivision brand. Once known for being a co-op powerhouse, bringing the company into the future required knowledge of what made Intellivision so great, and Tallarico has learned a great many lessons from the changing times.
If you're someone that's interested in the potential of family-friendly gaming and the lessons that can be learned from designing for a niche demographic other than today's oversaturated hardcore market, then you definitely won't want to miss Tallarico's panel on August 27. Focusing on the beauty of couch co-op games specifically as well as the growing mobile presence in the sector, we recommend that you come along to learn from this industry powerhouse about how Intellivision intends to foster connectivity instead of competitiveness in gaming.

Q: How to apply transform rotations to reflect an object's trajectory in 2D Pong? I am trying to make a simple 2D Pong game, but I'm unable to get the ball GameObject to move based on its rotation when applying the following logic:
transform.position += transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * ballSpeed;
The above code only changes the ball movement along the z-axis.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BallMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float ballSpeed = 20f;
    [SerializeField] private Vector3 _rotation;

    void Update()
    {
        transform.position += transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * ballSpeed;
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
    {
        _rotation = new Vector3(transform.rotation.x * -1, transform.rotation.y * -1, 0);
        transform.Rotate(_rotation * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

A: *

*While working with 2 dimensions, try using Vector2, instead of Vector3, as it uses only x and y axes. Then you don't have to deal with the third dimension and it makes things a little bit easier.

*transform.forward makes your object move forward from the original position on the z axes. That's the blue arrow on your object while using move tool in 3D. Use transform.up, or -transform.up to move up and down, or transform.right, or -transform.right to move rigtht and left.


CLEMSON, SC – Clemson head volleyball coach Jolene Jordan Hoover has announced the addition of Kelsey Murphy to her staff as an assistant coach. Murphy was a three-time All-ACC selection as a setter for the Tigers from 2006-09.
Murphy, along with Clemson Hall of Fame alum, Jodi (Steffes) Welp comprise the coaching staff, and between them have six AVCA All-region honors, and seven All-ACC selections. Ironically, the two also attended the same high school, Providence Catholic High School.
Murphy, a native of New Lenox, IL, spent the 2010 season as a Volunteer Assistant Coach with Tennessee Tech.
Prior to her graduation in May of 2010, Murphy was a four-year starter for Hoover's Clemson team. She led Clemson to NCAA tournament appearances in each of her final three seasons, and was named All-ACC and AVCA All-Region in each of those seasons. She also guided the Tigers to an ACC Championship in 2007, and helped Clemson to the league's highest hitting percentage in two of her four seasons.
Murphy finished her career as the only player in ACC history with 5,000 assists, 1,000 digs, and 400 blocks in a career.
Clemson finished the 2010 season 18-13, and 9-11 in ACC play, falling just short of an NCAA bid, as their final RPI was 66th.

Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in 13205 the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
What if I want my dumpster in 13205 picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in 13205, part of your rental agreement contains a given length of time you're permitted to use the container. You generally base this time on how long you think your project might take. The bigger the job, the longer you will need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental businesses in 13205 give you a speed for a specific number of days. Should you surpass that amount of days, you'll pay another fee daily. In case the job goes more quickly than expected, you might be finished with the dumpster earlier than you anticipated.
If this is the case, give the dumpster business a call and they'll probably come pick your container up early; this will permit them to rent it to someone else more immediately. You usually WOn't get a reduction on your own rate should you ask for early pick up. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or no matter your term is), whether you use them all or not.
Most folks don't need to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. At times, though, it becomes apparent that you simply must rent a dumpster in 13205 for commercial and residential jobs.
Most cities don't haul away building debris for you. It's your duty to be sure you have an appropriate container to collect lost stuff from remodeling projects. Even in the event that you just have a tiny job, municipal waste management is not likely to haul the debris away.
A leading clean out can collect more garbage than a normal receptacle can hold. Renting a tiny dumpster is a more suitable choice that can prevent making multiple trips to the neighborhood dump.
When you have one of these projects in mind, then you know it's time to search for a dependable dumpster rental service in 13205.
Most businesses ensure it is easy that you book your dumpster appointment. Before you contact rental businesses to schedule a drop off or pick up, however, you can take some measures which make the procedure even easier.
2. Give you and also the rental company a lot of time. It's best to call ahead at least a week or two before you need the dumpster. If you attempt to schedule an appointment earlier than that, you may have a restricted selection.
A roll off dumpster is delivered to your job place and left there until you want a truck to haul it and your debris away. They usually have open tops and also a door on the front. This makes it easy for workers to load a wide variety of debris into the dumpster.
A front load dumpster has mechanical arms that that lift containers off the earth. The arms lean to pour the debris into the truck's dumpster. This is a helpful alternative for businesses that collect considerable amounts of garbage.
While roll off dumpsters are generally left on place, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. This makes it feasible for sanitation professionals to remove garbage and rubbish for multiple dwellings and businesses in the region at reasonable prices.
Dumpster bags may offer an option to roll of dumpsters. Whether this option works well for you, however, will depend on your own project. Consider these pros and cons before you pick a disposal alternative that works for you.
It is hard to overcome a roll off dumpster when you have a large undertaking that will create lots of debris. Most rental companies comprise dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the costs, so you could avoid additional fees. Roll off dumpsters generally have time restrictions because companies need to get them back for other customers. This is a potential disadvantage if you aren't great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster bags in many cases are convenient for small jobs with free deadlines. If you do not need a lot of room for debris, then the bags could function nicely for you. Many companies are also happy to let you keep the bags for so long as you want. That makes them useful for longer jobs.
Dumpster rental firms normally have set costs, but the fine art of negotiation is consistently in play. Should you want to dicker on the price, call around to other companies first so you know what the going rental rate is. When you are speaking to the business you would like to use, only mention other costs that are better than theirs. Some companies will not only fit that lower cost, they will actually conquer it to please their customers.
You can even ask about discounts when you are renting a dumpster in 13205. Some companies will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the local Chamber of Commerce and more. It never hurts to ask; you can occasionally save up to 10 percent or more with this system.
You may also save on the cost by asking about the easiest way to avoid additional expenses (like tipping fees or overage charges) and ensuring you order the right size container; you don't want to pay for more container than you actually need.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in 13205?
Residential clean outs typically don't need large dumpsters. The size that you require, though, will be contingent on the size of the undertaking.
If you plan to clean out the entire home, then you most likely need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You can likewise use this size for a sizable cellar or loft clean out.
When choosing a dumpster, though, it's often advisable to ask for a size bigger than what you believe you'll need. Unless you're a professional, it's difficult to gauge the exact size required for your job. By getting a somewhat bigger size, you spend a bit more money, but you also avoid the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a bigger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in 13205 will make your job easier and safer to conclude on time. When renting a dumpster in 13205, follow these hints to help you plan ahead.
2. Prepare the things you wish to remove. In case you are cleaning out a waterlogged basement, for example, attempt to remove as much of the damaged stuff before the dumpster arrives.
3. Get any licenses you may need. Should you plan to depart the dumpster on a public street, then you certainly might want permission from the city.
As with any service, it's almost always a good plan to allow your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to make sure that the dumpster will be available when you really need it. If you wait until the very last minute, there is no guarantee that the company will soon have the capacity to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is normally sufficient to ensure your dumpster delivery on time. Remember that the busiest days have a tendency to be on Mondays and Fridays (encompassing the weekend), so if you can plan your mission for the midst of the week, you have a better opportunity of getting the dumpster you will need.
If you find out you want a dumpster the next day or even the same day, please go ahead and phone the business. If they have what you need, they'll certainly make arrangements to get it to you as soon as possible.

Researches from Stony Brook University, NVIDIA, and Adobe have devised a system which hides so-called 'redirected walking' techniques using saccades, natural eye movements which act like a momentary blindspot. Redirected walking changes the direction that a user is walking to create the illusion of moving through a larger virtual space than the physical space would allow.
To sum up the worldwide revolution of VR in 2017, we would like to look closely at the major players and make some forecast for 2018. Especially, in the light of the latest news from social virtual reality world. Facebook Spaces, now available not only for its subsidiary Oculus Rift but for HTC Vive owners too, is one example.
For months now, in a digital technology program at Kent Career Tech Center, nearly 40 high schoolers propel themselves into a real-world project in digital design, animation, graphics and game-making — all to help students with autism.
With Ready Player One making its theatrical debut over the Easter weekend, many audience members must be asking themselves how long it'll take for real virtual reality to reach the level of sophistication depicted in the film. And also, will everything in VR look video gamey, like in Spielberg's movie?
We've had some good times, we've had some motion sickness, we've bumped into a few walls. But after giving you the benefit of the doubt for the past two years, it's time to throw in the towel. Virtual reality may yet become a massive mainstream hit, but it's not going to happen with this generation of tech.
It's been some time since VRFocus first discussed the potential of eye-tracking within virtual reality (VR) with specialists Tobii. In that time we've seen the rise of FOVE and NVIDIA's own internal experiments with SMI, amongst many others, and yet Tobii had stayed on the sidelines. It appears the company was simply biding its time, as now it has announced that it is working with five partners in the VR space, including Qualcomm for the recently revealed head-mounted display (HMD) reference design.
Currently, most video games are played using an input device like joysticks or keyboard and mouse. Actions in the game is communicated to the player through monitors, sound, controller vibrations etc. What this means is that any action the player want to do must first translate into an intermediate step first, which breaks the immersion. In VR, the player controls the game directly using their head, hands and receives the visual and auditory information back through a VR headset. The VR headset provide a larger field of view than most monitors out there. This means the player have direct control and feedback of digital world interaction. The actions are more intuitive and direct.
Common Sense, the leading nonprofit organization dedicated to helping kids thrive in a world of media and technology, released a new report today on the potential impact of virtual reality on kids' cognitive, social, and physical well-being, including VR's ability to shape the perspectives of young minds.

Lynne O. Aug 22 .
My husband bought an arrangement of three dozen roses for my birthday several months ago. Not only were the colors, scents and filler greenery wonderful, but the roses were so fresh the arrangement lasted over a week.
I always have weird thoughts with flowers and would like to experiment and work out somethign creative. These folks do well in responding accordingly, but turned out to be pushy in their recommendations. Does not qualify on true terms of service, but they seem to be adament! Not very helpful, but is a good place if you are looking for those typical combination of flowers. Would not recommend as a good place as much but an average florist for sure.
Yvonne B. May 21 .
Graduation, or other holidays this place hooks it up. Here's my problem though, I procrasitnate. Luckily for me, they have same day delivery! Yeah. Excellent selection, but pricey! Their staff have good ideas, and they will definitely work with you to put something nice together. Website is easy to read and informative. Check out their "Contemporary" selections.

Getafe Star Djene Linked With �?�30m Summer Move to Arsenal as List of Defensive Targets Grows
Arsenal are being credited with interest in Getafe defender Djene Dakonam after his very impressive season in La Liga, with the Togo international just the latest centre back to be linked with the Gunners as the club aims to strengthen at the back this summer.
With unlikely Getafe firmly in the fight for Spain's fourth Champions League place, the little known Djene has risen to the fore this season.
A report originating from Marca (via SportWtiness) has suggested that Arsenal are eyeing the 27-year-old, whose previous clubs include Sint-Truidense and Alcoron, in a deal that could reach £30m. That figure (€35m) is said to be the value of the buyout clause in Djene's current contract.
While no offer has apparently been made yet, the Spanish report claims Arsenal have 'expressed their interest in him in various exchanges'. In addition, it is understood that the player has been promised a move this summer after a number of bids were turned down last year.
In a similar vein, Arsenal were recently linked with £30m-rated Mainz centre-back Jean-Philippe Gbamin, while there has also been gossip about interest in Manchester United man Eric Bailly, who could have been available for as little as £20m.
It remains to be seen what impact Bailly's recent knee injury might have on his summer availability after it was confirmed that he will miss the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast.
Arsenal were initially linked with Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti when serious talk of signing a new centre-back first arose earlier this season, but potential budget constraints are likely to make the World Cup winning Frenchman unattainable.
It was reported last month that the Gunners may only have as little as £40m to spend on new players this summer, a figure that would only be boosted if the club secures qualification for the Champions League next season and a handful of high earners are cut from the wage bill.

You want to make a gift to ARCE.
You sell real estate or other property to ARCE for less than it is worth.
A bargain sale is a simple agreement in which you sell property, such as real estate or some other valuable asset, to ARCE for less than the property is worth.
It is possible to sell any sort of property to ARCE for a bargain price. In addition to real estate, you can complete a bargain sale arrangement with collectibles such as artwork or antiques, other personal property, or securities. Please contact us about the property you are considering so that we can discuss whether we would be interested in acquiring the property for a bargain price.
Harold Gorman, a devoted supporter of ARCE, owns vacant land in an area under rapid development that he purchased years ago for $15,000. The land was recently appraised at $250,000. Harold would like to make a major contribution, but he is planning improvements to his home, and he needs about $50,000 to finance his project.
Harold is thrilled to learn that a bargain sale arrangement will allow him to make the contribution he envisions and get the cash he needs to complete his home improvement project. He's also pleased with his $200,000 income tax charitable deduction, which will create tax savings in the year of his gift that more than offset the capital gains tax he'll need to pay. This example assumes Harold is able to itemize his income tax charitable deduction.

In February 2019 month, a total 62,630 Royal Enfields were sold, which was a drop of 14% compared to 73,077 units in the same month of previous year.
Seems like mountain bike Royal Enfield maker is resistant to negative views, as it has just reversed its losses into massive gains. In early opening hours of Tuesday's trading session, investors had not so great views on Eicher, which is why they took the stock down by nearly 3% with an intraday low of Rs 19,550. Reason behind selling sentiments were due to decline in Royal Enfield's sales for February 2019 month. Even majority of analysts have started to give sell call on the company. Interestingly, such scenario was short lived, as within few hours, Eicher is now trading over Rs 1,191.75 or 5.69% at Rs 21,073 per piece on BSE. Overall gains in Eicher in second half of the session are over Rs 1,848 or 9.27%, as it has touched an intraday high of Rs 21,178.95 per piece.
In February 2019 month, a total 62,630 Royal Enfields were sold, which was a drop of 14% compared to 73,077 units in the same month of previous year. Models with engine capacity upto 350cc, saw negative demand with sales of just 57,029 units, down by 15% as against 67,081 units in February 2018. Meantime, Models with engine capacity exceeding 350cc also saw decrease of 7% in sales with 5,601 units in the latest month, versus sales of 5,996 units in February 2018.
Such would be the largest decline in Royal Enfield sales in over 60 months, as per Elara Capital.
On the other hand, Nomura has given a neutral call on Eicher with a price target of Rs 19,949 per piece ahead.
Hence, in Nalanda Securities' view, RE is a market creator and the competition always follows it. The company has the largest dealer network for any premium motorcycle manufacturer and has kept Maruti as a benchmark for further addition in small towns.
Hence, for short-term surely one can expect not a great news from Eicher Motors and its stock price. But Royal Enfield can be a game changer for the company in long term.


Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has asked parliament to extend his medical leave in the UK, amid concerns that his health may be worse than officials are publicly saying.
The 74-year-old leader who has been out of the country for two weeks was expected to return to Abuja on Sunday. An official statement released on February 6, 2017 said he has been advised by doctors to await the results of a series of tests.
However, it did not say how much extra time would be needed. There was also no mention of what the medical checks were for.
Analysts say that Mr. Buhari's extended absence could further erodes confidence in his administration which is already under pressure, due to a weak economy and the ongoing conflict with Boko Haram Islamist militants in the north-east of the country.
Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo is taking on presidential responsibilities while the president is abroad.
It is the second time in less than a year that Mr. Buhari has sought medical assistance overseas. Last June he spent nearly two weeks again in London for treatment of an ear infection.
