I'm happy to welcome author Debbie DeLouise to my blog. Today, Debbie shares her writing journey and novels.
My writing journey began when I was a child and enjoyed and excelled at creative writing in school. My publishing journey, however, took a bit longer. My first published piece, unless you count the articles I wrote for my college newspaper, was an article about my cats for Cat Fancy Magazine. Several pet articles followed before I published my first story, "Stitches in Time," in Cat Crimes Through Time, a mystery anthology compiled by Edward Gorman and Martin Howard Greenberg in 2001. It took seven more years before I published my first book, Cloudy Rainbow, that was recently reprinted by my current publisher. I wrote this paranormal romance after my cat Floppy died and featured him in it as a character. Told through flashbacks of each of the five main characters, this book was originally self-published and contained some of my own personal experience working as features editor on my college newspaper.
The original Cloudy Rainbow was self-published and, as a new writer, I had no experience marketing it, so not many people purchased it. Also, at the time, I had a young daughter and was working full-time as a reference librarian at my local library. I couldn't find the time to write another book. I would've been a one-hit wonder if it wasn't for a patron at my library who'd read my book and encouraged me to keep writing. I kept putting it off but finally, in 2015, I started a mystery that I ended up selling to a small publisher. That mystery, A Stone's Throw, became the first book of my Cobble Cove cozy mystery series. When I first published it, I didn't consider it a cozy or the start of a series. I thought it was a romantic suspense standalone novel, but reviewers called it a cozy because it took place in a small town, featured quirky characters, and even two pets – a library Siamese cat called Sneaky and a golden retriever dog named Fido.
After I finished A Stone's Throw, I decided to write another book with the same characters because they'd grown on me, and I had an idea for a mystery that took place in the town near the holidays. When I finished Between a Rock and a Hard Place, I found a different publisher who I not only sold the manuscript to but who also requested the first book. I've been with that publisher, Solstice Publishing, since 2016 and now have four books in the Cobble Cove mystery series. My latest, Love on the Rocks, is a Valentine's Day themed mystery that introduces a Calico kitten. KittyKai is the name of a real-life cat whose owner won my newsletter contest when I was seeking the name and breed for a new character cat for my series.
Besides my Cobble Cove books, I also have a standalone mystery, Reason to Die, that involves murders of handicapped residents of a small town, nearly a dozen short stories of various genres, and a romantic comedy novella, When Jack Trumps Ace.
I'm currently working on another short mystery story and hope to finish a half-way completed paranormal mystery that includes a ghost cat. In addition, I have a psychological thriller and the first book of another cozy mystery series that I'm querying to agents in the hope of publishing with a larger publisher. However, I also want to continue my Cobble Cove series with Solstice, as I have an idea for the fifth book.
As with most writers, my journey has had its ups and downs. I never realized how much time and work went into publishing books and how difficult it is to gain followers in the overcrowded book market. I'm active on social media where I promote my eBooks as well as my paperbacks on Facebook and Twitter and also try to reach local fans by appearing at author events at libraries and book fairs. I'll be at a holiday book fair in Islip with the Long Island Author's Group on Saturday, December 8 and at the Broadway Commons in Hicksville on Sunday, December 15.

Single(s) of the Week
On May 12, 2018 May 21, 2018 By Steven StraussIn The Food of Love
When initially detailing the format of these new "Single(s) of the Week" posts, I forgot to mention two stipulations:
No advance single off an upcoming album will be eligible for these weekly rankings; I always prefer to wait to hear a song for the first time in the context of the overall work in which it will always exist for future listeners. There will of course be exceptions, mostly because some artists release singles before announcing they'll appear on a forthcoming album (I have a feeling the Jennifer Lopez tracks mentioned below will be just the latest example). But since I'm not privy to such information in the moment…
Originally, I thought that the singles touched upon in these weekly updates would be comprised of songs too good to be ignored, but not good enough to be included in my periodic SHOOT IT STRAIGHT INTO MY FUCKING VEINS Lists. With that being said, the very best of them could eventually find their way into my veins. Repetition ain't such a bad thing when dealing with the best of the best! Maybe the dual mentions will be just the reminders y'all need to actually give them a spin stream.
Now let's get streaming:
A beat that will be remixed endlessly because it's so damn listenable and repeatable, probably the reason the song goes on a tad too long.
DISCLOSURE BACK…with the litest elevator music? Clearly they didn't discover a radically new sound during their two-year hiatus. The only drastic difference here from their signature formula is what I like to call the "Despacito" Effect: after that smash hit, more musicians have felt comfortable going with non-English vocals.
Not the J-Lo single actually released this week, but that disappointment jogged my memory that I still needed to listen to her three other 2018 tracks. Skrillex — one of the few mainstream DJs who's sold out to the masses with an easily digestible sound without sacrificing quality — elevates this one over the rest (prediction: "Dinero" — her aforementioned and afore-hyperlinked-to latest — will be the most popular, and probably a big hit; Khaled and Cardi won't hurt in that regard).
Russ can't miss this year. If he ends up compiling all of his disparate singles released over the last few months into an album, it's easily going to be one of 2018's best. Such flow, so much groove.

Arizona State University College Featured That's So Munny
Munn – College Football Coaches Searching for Answers
Jeff Munn Posted May 17, 2020 at 9:39 pm

Story by Jeff Munn
So many questions, so few answers.
It's been that way for college football fans for the past few months.
But how about the coaches?
The simple decision of when to play, how to play, where you can play is something every coach would like to know, but none can determine.
How, then, does a coach, any coach, continue to run a football program without access to student-athletes, without a schedule, without a plan?
And how do these coaches keep their student-athletes motivated?
Recently, three Pac-12 Head Coaches, Oregon State's Jonathan Smith, UCLA's Chip Kelly, and Arizona State's Herm Edwards, were invited to speak to the media, via Zoom, on that subject.
As with so many challenges, each of the three coaches drew on their experiences on the gridiron as a template for the situation they and their programs are in now.
"As coaches, we live in a world where the unexpected is always about to happen," Edwards says. "It's like a football game – once the players take the field, you have no control,"
The same goes for trying to plan in the midst of utter uncertainty.
"You're always one play away from throwing out your game plan."
Smith, who completed his second year at his alma mater last season narrowly missing out on bowl eligibility, also notes the challenges aren't limited to coaches and staff. Among the things being done to keep the team engaged virtually, Smith organized a Madden Tournament.
"Our student-athletes miss each other," Smith says. "we're trying to find ways to keep them engaged with one another, while also maintaining a priority on their safety."
As far as looking ahead is concerned, Kelly says until further notice, his staff is planning for a season. In the fall.
"The virus will tell us when we can come back," Kelly says. "Until that time, we're just going to keep planning like we have a season coming up. No one has told us we're playing. No one has told us we're not playing. We don't want to be caught by surprise."
Yet, that planning can't include, at least for now, conditioning at the school's facilities. As usual, Edwards sees opportunity in the obstacles.
"This is a time for all of us to reflect on ourselves and our lives," Edwards says. "Players live by a schedule. Right now, they have no schedule.
"So, what does their schedule look like? Does that schedule allow you to become a better version of yourself?"
So, how long would it take for teams to get ready for whatever form of a season will be staged?
"Six weeks is the least amount of time," Edwards says. "We know our players are in condition, but they're not in football shape. The one thing you don't want to do is put your players in a position where they would get hurt."
And with Edwards, the teaching never stops.
"We've had more time with players now in the classroom (virtually) than probably we would have," Edwards says, adding former players are working online with current players, offering advice on game situations."
The one thought all coaches are keeping in mind – this current situation will end.
"Players know that, as Coach Kelly said, this is going to come to an end," Edwards says. "We don't know what that date is, but you'd better be ready".

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | Having been deserted by her husband, my mother worked. That meant that my one-year-younger sister and I often lunched by ourselves during our pre-teen years. Being bigger and stronger than my sister, quite often there wouldn't be a fair division of the food, especially the desserts.
Coming home from work, Mom would be greeted by sob stories about my lunchtime injustices. There came a time when Mom got fed up with the sibling hassles — but she didn't admonish us to be more caring, fair, sensitive and considerate of one another. She just made a new rule: whoever cuts the cake (pie, bread, meat, etc.) gives the other person the first selection. With that new rule in place, you can bet that when either my sister or I cut any food that was to be divided between us, the portions probably didn't differ by one microgram.
You say, "That's a nice story, Williams, but what's the point?" The point is that the principle underlying Mom's rule is precisely the kind of rules necessary to promote a civilized society. In general, the kinds of rules that we want are those that promote justice, whether it's our best friend or our worst enemy who happens to be the decision-maker. In the case of Mom's rule, it didn't make any difference whether I hated my sister's guts that day, or she hated mine, or whether my sister was doing the cutting, or whether I was — the cake-cutting outcome was just.
This year, billions of dollars and billions of hours will be spent campaigning for this or that candidate in our national elections. Can we argue that the nation's welfare is served best by picking the "right" person? I think not. The nation's welfare is served best by focusing not on political personalities, but on neutral rules of the game and their even application and enforcement.
Think for a moment about sports — say, basketball. Teams play one another. One team loses and the other wins, but they and their fans leave the stadium peacefully and most often as friends. Why? The game's outcome is seen as fair because there are fixed, known, neutral rules evenly applied by the referees. The referee's job is to apply the rules — not determine the game's outcome. Imagine the chaos on the court and among the fans if one team had its paid referees to help it win, while its opponent had theirs.
In the political arena, the Framers gave us reasonably fair and neutral rules of the game, otherwise known as the United States Constitution. If our government acted, as the Framers intended, as a referee and night watchman, how much difference would it make to any of us who occupied the White House or Congress? It would make little, if any. It would be just like our basketball game example. Any government official who knew and enforced the rules would do. But increasingly, who's in office is making a difference, since government has abandoned its referee and night watchman function and gotten into the business of determining winners and losers.
In many places around the world, the prospect of, or the result of, national elections leads to all manner of violence and mayhem. Why? Because the political arena plays a much larger role than ours in determining winners and losers, and in some cases who wins can literally mean life or death. We need only to look at the history of countries in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Where governments decide winners and losers, the most effective coalitions are those based on race, religion, region and ethnicity — the bloodiest coalitions in mankind's history.
So which is it: Do we want government as referee and night watchman or the decider of winners and losers?

Short History of Vanuatu
The origins of Vanuatu, formerly known as New Hebrides
The Y shaped feature on Vanuatu flag stands for the shape of of this island chain -
green stands for the fertile land, red for bloodshed for freedom, yellow for sunshine,
and black for Melanesian people, who are the inhabitants of these islands.
Your experience will be much more enjoyable if you know some history of the place you're traveling to. Vanuatu is no exception. Vanuatu is one of the Pacific's most beautiful island archipelagos, and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Pacific. People flock to Vanuatu in search of the beautiful nature and South Pacific atmosphere. It is a sharp contrast to the urban and noisy cities of the US. People go to Vanuatu to have their weddings there, and/or simply to enjoy their free time. If you want your stay in Vanuatu to be better, know some history of the place, and how it came to be.
So, without further ado, let's begin our exploration of Vanuatu's history with some facts about Vanuatu.
Where is Vanuatu?
Vanuatu is an island archipelago which is located in the South Pacific Ocean. For context, Vanuatu is quite close (in Pacific terms) to Australia. Some thousand miles of Pacific's giant body of water separates those two countries. Vanuatu is a 'Y' shaped archipelago, and it contains 82 relatively small islands, while 65 of them are inhabited. Its largest island is Espiritu Santo with a population of around 40 thousand inhabitants. Some of the other largest islands are Malakula, Efate, Erromango, Ambrym Island, Tanna, Pentecost, Epi, Ambae or Aoba, Gaua, Vanua Lava, Maewo, Malo and Aneityum.
Port Vila town is the capital of Vanuatu and the largest city, located on the main, Efate
island, with Iririki island one of the best known features in its harbour.
The capital of Vanuatu is Port Vila which is located on Efate island. Vanuatu's population is around 250 thousand people. About 20 thousand of Ni-Vanuatu people live and work in New Zealand and Australia. Bislama is the language that is spoken by the people of Vanuatu. Also, in urban areas, it is now a creole language. It is essentially a combination of typical Melanesian grammar with mostly English vocabulary, so your communication with the locals there shouldn't be a problem. Bislama is the lingua franca of the entire archipelago of Vanuatu. It is used as a second language by the majority of the population.
Origins of Vanuatu
Vanuatu was created by volcanoes, and in the local Bislama language, Vanuatu means rising land. Which is very appropriate as a name for the islands. Prehistory of the islands is pretty unknown to modern historians, but it's speculated that the first inhabitants came to the islands between three and three and a half thousand years ago. Archaeological evidence supports that claim. Europeans discovered the islands for themselves at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, who was sailing for the Spanish crown first discovered the islands in 1606. He believed that he discovered Australia. Also, the Spanish created a short-lived settlement on the Espiritu Santo. So, Espiritu Santo remains the name of the largest island, and it means 'The Southern Land of the Holy Spirit'.
What's mostly known is only a short history of Vanuatu, while much of its past is unknown
and subject of traditional storytelling, passed on from one generation to another.
Colonial Times
The archipelago was left on its own until 1768 when a French admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville rediscovered the islands. He named them the Great Cyclades, like the Greek island group in the Aegean Sea in Europe. In 1774, British explorer and admiral Captain Cook named the islands the New Hebrides. That name would last until the Independence of Vanuatu in 1980. There was a rush of immigrants to Vanuatu that ended in 1830. This immigration was caused by the discovery of sandalwood (on Erromango island), which is the second most expensive wood in the world, right after African blackwood.
Both the British and French governments declared Vanuatu part of their territory. However, in 1906, both sides agreed that they would administer the islands jointly. They established a condominium, which means that there are two governments that govern one territory. Challenges to this form of government began when Americans came to the islands, as they sparked the rise of the national identity of the locals.
One of interesting features in parts of Port Vila town are wall murals, showing scenes
from Ni-Vanuatu people daily living and their customs on different islands.
Struggle for Independence
The American army came to the islands during the Second World War. It sparked the rise of the national identity of the indigenous population. It led to the rise of the cult and religion of John Frum, a mythical figure of an American soldier who would bring on the Melanesian independence. Today, John Frum is a cult in Vanuatu.
The French, in the 1960s, opposed Britain's desire to de-colonize the New Hebrides, fearing for their possessions. Old customs of the Ni-Vanuatu meant that land was held in trust for future generations. Europeans viewed it more as a commodity, and they owned about one-third of the land area. The European-held land had been mostly cleared for coconut production. When Europeans began clearing more land for coconut production, the protests began. In the seventies, there were massive protests led by political parties who were very vocal for independence of New Hebrides. There was a struggle for independence until finally, in 1980, Vanuatu republic was declared, changing its name from New Hebrides to Vanuatu.
Since their independence, the people of Vanuatu have been enjoying their freedom. Today, the Republic of Vanuatu is a parliamentary democracy with a written constitution. The head of state is the President. Elections for President of Vanuatu are held every five years, and the people of Vanuatu are free to choose whomever they want to. Also, the head of the government is the Prime Minister who is elected by the majority vote in the Vanuatu Parliament. The Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers form the executive branch of the government of Vanuatu.
Vanuatu is an ideal destination for those who enjoy nature, culture, traditions, customs
and generally an adventurous holiday to explore it all and get to know this beautiful country.
Today, the economy of Vanuatu is heavily based on agriculture and tourism. Tourism in Vanuatu is booming today. Many people from all around the world come to Vanuatu to appreciate the beauty of Vanuatu's nature and customs and enjoy the many activities offered there.
Anglophone people call the inhabitants of Vanuatu by the recent English coinage Ni-Vanuatu. Ni-Vanuatu is a recent term. Ni-Vanuatu people are primarily of Melanesian descent, of around 98 percent. The rest of the population represents a mix of Europeans, Asians and other people from the Pacific.
Enjoy your stay at Vanuatu!

Indian medical device companies feel CII, FICCI more responsive to MNCs
Several Indian medical device manufacturers TOI spoke to complained that these two organisations "did a poor job of representing Indian companies" in the medical technology industry. TOI sought CII and FICCI's reactions to their member companies acting against the interest of Indian industry through Advamed.Rema Nagarajan | TNN | November 02, 2017, 08:48 IST
While Advamed, an American association of medical device manufacturers, wrote to the US Trade Representative to protect the interest of its members' business, many Indian medical device manufacturers are frustrated by the refusal of the two major Indian industry associations, the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) to take up their cause.
They pointed out CII and FICCI did not even protest against Advamed asking the USTR to suspend or withdraw trade preferences given to several Indian industries by the US. This despite the fact that such a withdrawal would affect several sectors of the Indian industry. Over two-thirds of members in the medtech divisions of CII and FICCI are MNCs and most of them do not make in India, merely importing their products.
Several Indian medical device manufacturers TOI spoke to complained that these two organisations "did a poor job of representing Indian companies" in the medical technology industry. TOI sought CII and FICCI's reactions to their member companies acting against the interest of Indian industry through Advamed.
CII said its members included domestic and foreign firms and it actively protected Indian industry, but members could also have membership in other associations. FICCI maintained its "member companies may have individual and even divergent strategic interests and, since it will be unfair, FICCI doesn't interfere with their internal strategic direction".
Neither CII nor FICCI sought to set the record straight on the misleading claims made by Advamed. "We see the representation to USTR as being made by another industry association, and not by individual FICCI member companies," stated FICCI. Almost ten days after Advamed's representation became public, FICCI claimed it hadn't had a chance to analyse its claims and hence couldn't issue a statement. The Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AIMED), in contrast, supported the Centre's price control efforts and condemned Advamed's representation against price control as an attempt to pressure the Indian government "to bow down to their unjust demands".
Senior executives of several Indian device firms that are CII/FICCI members said the medtech division rarely consulted Indian firms and was pre-occupied with MNCs' concerns such as import tariff reduction.
They ignore Indian manufacturers' concerns such as exclusion from government purchases using USFDA as a tender requirement, or the recent jacking up of USFDA registration charges making it expensive for them to register their products for sale in the US, they lamented. CII medical technology division chairperson Himanshu Baid of Polymedicure, an Indian company, said CII supported 'Make in India' initiatives to encourage domestic production of medical devices. Rajiv Nath of AIMED complained to CII "against the Trojan horse" in the organisation that issues statement on behalf of Indian Industry. "You are urged to keep a separate division for importers' lobby. Since when did imports become an industry?" FICCI said no specific faction 'dominates' its medical technology division. Probir Das, chair of FICCI's med tech forum, said many of its MNC members had manufacturing facilities in India, including his own company Terumo.
However, when asked for a list of members of the med tech forum, neither FICCI nor CII was willing to do so.
TOIenquiries showed both have about 50 members in the med tech forum of which just about a third are Indian firms. AIMED's member list of about 250 Indian med tech companies is available on its website.

Vodafone Warriors grant Johnson a release
Richard Becht & Photosport.nz
Wed 28 Nov 2018, 08:42 AM
Vodafone Warriors CEO Cameron George today announced halfback Shaun Johnson has requested and been granted a release from the last year of his contract in 2019.
George said the release was effective immediately.
"Yesterday (head coach) Stephen Kearney, (recruitment manager) Peter O'Sullivan and I met with Shaun and his manager Peter Brown," he said.
"During the meeting Shaun clearly demonstrated to us that he didn't want to be at the club in 2019.
"On the basis of what Shaun told us, we are not going to compromise our culture on and off the field with people who do not wish to represent our club, members and fans in the way we expect.
"Everything we do is about the club being first and what's best for our future, our development and ultimately our results.
"While it's disappointing it has come to this, we must acknowledge the contribution Shaun has made to the Vodafone Warriors. We're proud of what he has achieved at the club and wish him the best for the future."
Johnson finishes his Vodafone Warriors career with 917 points from 162 appearances.

Huzzah! The best day of the year is here again! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we wanted to share with you some things you maybe did not know about WORKSHOP8, as well as bring you up to date with current going-ons at our studio over the past 12 months.
WHY IS TODAY WORKSHOP8 DAY?
Because it's 8/8 of course!
WHAT DOES THE 8 IN WORKSHOP8 STAND FOR?
See you next WORKSHOP8 Day!

It was Ninety nine years in the making since the Eunosville HUDC Enbloc began to sprout as a leasehold real estate which is now the newly created Parc Esta Condominium. It's only Jardine Matheson Group Unit that was able sold an enobloc properties of lands that was joint with MCL Land which makes a name as a top bidders on the market for leasehold units. By 2017, Eunosville would be regarded as the fourth successful in terms of selling which first started as the 330 unit HUDC. The Government Land Sales Programme was not that enough in terms of maintaining the real estate market since it limits the passion of most developers to submit more plots, but when it comes to the rate you're secured that the its worth it since they are leading in the world market.
The Changi Road and Sims Avenue can be seen even from far distance since its just in front of Parc Esta, the former Eunosville HUDC. Parc Esta has full and one of a kind amenities, including a guard house, clubhouse, function room, indoor gym, tennis court, 50m swimming pool, sun deck, BBQ pits & children's recreation space. With the facilities provided, each family will have more to offer which will strengthened their bond. The tranquillity of life would be greatly appreciated here since the type of amenities that they've will calm your soul.
Parc Esta Condo would be established in a central plot of lands that shows a prospect clients to invest in. Although the building structure appears to be conventional, it was still expected that Eunosville may last up to Seventy one years. Based on the collective selling price and also the land size and the plot ratio of Parc Esta MCL Land, around 1399 units can be build on the plot of land.
Parc Esta location is at the former Eunosville estate that's a privatized HUDC that was build in the 1980s that consist of 330 units found in the plot of land next to Eunos MRT Station. Right after the sales Farrer Court was sold out, it was regarded as the second collective sales achievement. According to the Analyst, each price of the plot land were just cheaper than expected since they sold it to Jardine Matheson Group. The number of residential unit blocks for residential will be 6, it will be 4 for the down and up apartment blocks with 75 units which will be realized since Eunosville HUDC has got a total of 255 maisonettes. The expected price tag based on the acquisition price is about $1,700 – $1,750psf.
In Singapore, MCL Land have served 50 years as the reliable group for residential buildings. Among the cities in Asia such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Jakarta, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Macau, and Bangkok, it's only Hong Kong Land and MCL Land create a name to be the most reliable group holdings which contains about 800,000 square metres for a longest period.

It is indeed a huge loss for the known world. A great man has left us; we all honour his memory.
May his soul reach peace.

Arborfield and Barkham are working together to produce a Neighbourhood Plan.
The two parishes are facing great changes, with the Arborfield Green garden village being developed on the site of the former Arborfield Garrison and with the new Arborfield Cross Relief Road due to be constructed in the next few years.
With the Borough Council now in the process of developing the Local Plan Update, which will guide the future development of Wokingham Borough up to 2036, this is a very good time to be gathering our opinions and sharing them with the Borough Council.
The plan is being prepared by a Steering Group consisting of Councillors and residents drawn from both parishes. Work completed includes a Residents' Survey in late 2016, a number of Focus Groups researching various topics including sustainability and greenways, analysis of housing needs and some public drop-in events including the "Shaping Our Future" event held in Autumn 2017. A further event was held in June 2018 to present a draft of the plan which launched the public consultation.
The Steering group has updated the text of the Neighbourhood Plan to take into account comments received from Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) arising from the previous Submission Plan. The primary purpose of the review by WBC was to ensure conformity of the Neighbourhood Plan with existing national and local plans.
While the objectives of the Neighbourhood Plan remain the same, the text now has a greater emphasis on interpreting the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in the light of local conditions in Arborfield and Barkham.
The Plan is now expected to be put forward for approval by WBC at the next appropriate Executive Meeting. Owing to the forthcoming local elections the next Executive Meeting may not be until June. A further consultation is expected to be carried out in July / August while an Examiner should be appointed concurrently with the consultation. It would then be possible to furnish the Examiner with all documents shortly after the consultation ends.
It is frustrating for the Steering Group that the timetable has become so prolonged, especially as it has taken a huge amount of effort by the group to get this far. The Steering Group would also like to thank once again the many residents who have participated in developing the Neighbourhood Plan and regret that it has taken so long for all their work to finally reach fruition.

KuSh Audio has announced the release of UBK Pusher, a "magnetic DSP colorbox" plug-in for Windows and Mac.
Pusher is a sound sculptor's dream, an artist's tool that bends the rules of physics to generate genuinely new musical distortions and transient colorations.
It models the unique sound-bending properties of 4 magnetized metal cores and, through the use of controls the world has never seen or heard before, lets you creatively shape their harmonic complexity and transient character. The result is an unprecedented palette of colors from the classic to the cutting edge.
Colorations ranging from subtly sweet to downright alien.
UBK Pusher for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available to purchase for $149 USD. Requires iLok 1/2.


Join Valhalla's Mjollnir Section and take part in eight separate missions investigating planar anomalies and nefarious Disruptor schemes. How far has the Disruptor Knight known as Loki gone in his bid to bring about global war? What is the source of strange psychic emanations in the New England area? How can Kyland the Warlord be stopped before he destroys Aigues Mortes? What sinister forces are at work on the Trans-Siberian Express and the airship Empress Katerina?
All these and more form the missions of Parallel Lines, taking the team from the New England swamps to a drab, dystopian London, via post apocalyptic landscapes, industrial hells, an undersea arcology and an Edinburgh on the verge of revolution. Each mission is self contained but can thread together to form a vast campaign with recurring characters and villains.
So join the war against the Disruptors; get your copy of Parallel Lines without delay!
Anthony Boyd shares his unboxing of 'Parallel Lines' - an extremely touching video. Thank you Anthony!

This home's roof was very old and was in need of replacement We started off by removing the existing roof and removing the rear chimney. Then we had to replace any bad roof decking and finished off by replacing the roof with an Owens Corning TruDef Duration Designer Color Summer Harvest Shingle.
These customers called us because their Norfolk VA home needed a complete exterior refresh. Not only did we replace the siding an trim, but we also replaced the windows, and gutters. Now the home has an updated look with quality products that has added significant value to the property. The homeowners were very happy with the outcome.

We had some minor damage to the roof during the storm last month. Part of the siding on the under the eve is bent and a few of the shingle have holes.
Hi There! We've had a leak in two places on the side of the house, have determined it's not the roof and was told by another professional it's just the cracks where the siding was installed sloppily since those are the exact two areas we're seeing the leak. We're just looking for someone to come and seal it with caulk as I am unable to do so. Thanks!
I'm looking to get a quote for some fascia and soffit repairs.
I need an estimate on a second floor patio leak and some minor leaks in a roof and chimney.
Vinyl siding in front portion of detached garage was damaged due to wind.
I would like a quote on the replacement of gutters and also a quote that includes the replacement of one window.
You don't know who to trust anymore and this is a good company.
They did an excellent job replacing the entire roof on my house. They replaced a ton of damaged wood I didn't know was there which did add to the price some but they did the job right. There is no cutting corners with Premier Roofing. They found a few other issues I was unaware of and corrected them without charging me (roof vents, flashing, etc). They left the job site visbly cleaner than it was before they arrived.
We were very impressed with the work ethic of the workers and the fact that they were extremely diligent (and polite) during the entire process.

Replacement windows, siding, and insulation for an enclosed porch.
I am looking to replace windows and roof. I may need to do the windows first and the roof next. Both most likely within the year. I will start my first project within the next 60 days. I would like a quote. I prefer early morning or late afternoon appointments. Thank you!
I would like to get an estimate for both the roof and vinyl siding.
Returned from a 7 month deployment to discover sagging in the ceiling and roof on one corner of an addition. Appears that the section of roof is allowing water in which is causing the weight of the insulation to warp the ceiling.


Tradelink Compliance Officer, Robbie Weich, attended the Global Timber Forum's Latin America Summit, in Lima Peru last week. Robbie also was representing AIMEX, the Association for Exporters in the state of Pará, Brazil.
The Summit marks the first time that representatives of national and regional associations representing the wood product industries across Latin America are convening to examine the shared challenges and opportunities of responsible trade.
The Summit is organised by Global Timber Forum (GTF) with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), through the FAO and European Union (EU) Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Program. It happened over two days with sixty delegates representing many of the small and medium sized businesses across the wood products industry of Latin America.
Important areas for discussion during the Summit included competitiveness and access to markets; impact of new and emerging regulation; regional trade flow data; incentives for forest conservation; efficient traceability systems and independent forest monitoring.
The conference participants also reviewed examples of governments, communities and business working together towards responsible trade in the region. These included Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPA) with the European Union (EU) by Honduras and Guyana; the Inter-Sectorial Pact for Wood in Colombia; the community technical units in Peru designated as veedores or custodians of the forest with technical functions; the traceability systems in Guatemala and Honduras; and the alliance to stop illegal logging between Belize and Guatemala.

UAE participates in UN Development Goals forum
Thursday, July 7th, 2022 8:02pm
By ARN News Staff
The UAE is enhancing its stature as an efficient country in terms of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to Reem bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, Chairperson of the National Committee on SDGs.
She made the statement as part of a UAE Government delegation to an annual United Nations (UN) forum, held at its headquarters in New York, to present the UAE's periodic review of its efforts and successes in achieving the SDGs.
"The report underscores the country's vision and efforts to achieve the best for human communities and the planet's sustainability, in line with the government's directives to achieve its international development goals and strengthen the UAE's relevant local and global initiatives," Al Hashemy said.
The Emirati delegation included members of the National Committee on SDGs, chaired by Abdullah Nasser Lootah, Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office and Deputy Chairman of the Committee, as well as members of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, including Saeed Mohammad Al Eter Al Dhanhani, Chairman of the UAE Government Media Office and Assistant Secretary-General of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives.
Abdullah Nasser Lootah said the National Committee on SDGs is committed to drafting the second national voluntary review on the country's related achievements, upon the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to highlight the country's leadership in achieving the SDGs.
On the UAE's experience in achieving the SDGs, Al Dhanhani said, "Since its establishment, the UAE has prioritised achieving sustainable development in its plans and strategies, before these goals were a global approach and part of the UN's agenda, being a humanitarian mission to advance societies and improve the lives of people."
The UAE's commitment to achieving sustainable development is at the forefront of its leadership's future vision to make it one of the best countries in the world, proven by its success in attaining first place globally in 152 global indicators, as well as its position among the top 10 countries in the world in 425 indicators.

Volkswagen And Ford Officially Announce Global Alliance
Jan 16, 2019 at 9:31am ET
By: Mark Kane
Volkswagen and Ford are negotiating about collaboration on EVs
We knew that it was coming. Volkswagen AG and Ford Motor Company announced the launch of a global alliance, which is envisioned to leverage the two global automakers' strengths and increase competitiveness.
The agreement reminds us of some kind of deep partnership rather than a merge, as there is no cross-ownership between Ford and VW: "The alliance, will be governed by a joint committee. This committee will be led by Hackett and Diess and will include senior executives from both companies."

Skies of Arcadia is een computerrollenspel ontwikkeld door Overworks en uitgegeven door Sega in 2000 voor de Dreamcast. Een versie voor de GameCube volgde twee jaar later onder de titel Skies of Arcadia Legends.

Spel
Het spel is een traditioneel rollenspel met beurtelingse gevechten en toegekende ervaringspunten, maar richt zich meer op het verkennen van gebieden vanuit een luchtschip.

Gameplay
De gameplay is vergelijkbaar met die van de spelseries Final Fantasy en Dragon Quest. De speler bestuurt de hoofdpersoon die in een gevecht raakt met vijanden waarmee ervaringspunten (experience points of XP) kan worden verkregen. De hoofdwereld is verdeeld in zes gebieden die eerst nog leeg zijn. Naarmate het spel verloopt zal steeds meer zichtbaar zijn.

Door het bezoeken van steden kan het personage sterkere voorwerpen en uitrusting krijgen. Ook zijn daar niet-speelbare personages die meer vertellen over het verhaal. De kerkers hebben de vorm van een doolhof. Hier vinden gevechten plaats met vijanden, en er zijn schatkisten met speciale voorwerpen. Voordat de speler de kerker kan verlaten moet men eerst tegen een eindbaas vechten.

Personages
De speler bestuurt hoofdzakelijk Vyse, samen met een groep van vier andere personages.

 Vyse, hoofdfiguur en 17-jarig lid van de 'Blue Rogue' luchtpiraten.
 Aika, beste jeugdvriendin van Vyse en medelid van de 'Blue Rogue'.
 Fina, een van de overlevenden van de 'Silver Civilization'.
 Drachma, een oudere man die zijn mechanische rechterarm gebruikt tijdens gevechten.
 Gilder, de kapitein van het piratenschip Claudia. Relaxt en avontuurlijk.
 Enrique, de kroonprins van het 'Valuan Empire'. Nobel en heldhaftig.

Ontvangst
Skies of Arcadia ontving positieve recensies en was een van de best beoordeelde Dreamcast spellen. Nadat Sega stopte met het produceren van spelcomputers werd het spel twee jaar later uitgebracht voor de GameCube. Die versie, genaamd Skies of Arcadia Legends, ontving iets lagere scores. Dit was voornamelijk vanwege de slechts minimaal betere graphics.

Trivia
 Het spel is opgenomen in het boek 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die van Tony Mott.
