Sigh ... more fixes guys. Thankfully they are minor, and thanks again to B'naa for this help.
However, what I'm going to do now is just put out one zip file for the fixes, and send them immeditately to RPGNow so they can upload the fixed product.
And if you purchased the product you will get an email from me each time there is a fix. Just copy and paste the update to your DATABASE directory.
Back from Gen Con, and swamped. However, I will have a new set of minor updates for THE COMPLETE SRD RULESET by the end of the week. Please stay tuned to this thread for more information.
I just bought your SRD and installed it. Also installed your srd patch. I am missing the cleric domains. I unzipped the SRD_fixes into the right directories. I even saw that it overwrote the previous files. I have the spelllists_domains.xml in the database directory so not sure if cleric domains are under that file or if I am just missing something. The cleric domains come up as blank.
Make sure that when you unzipped things something didn't get put into a folder by mistake. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure we had all of the cleric spell issues fixed. If you have to, delete everything and start from scratch just to be sure.
Again, we will have another update in a few days. If your problem isn't resolved by then let me know.
Hmm, Ok deleted the srd20 and reinstalled. Now when I installed the patch again there was two spelllists.xml. One made on aug 14th and one made on aug 15th. I tried both and still am missing cleric domain spells via the classes/cleric/domain path. Now if I go Spells/Spell Descriptions/Cleric domains then they come up just perfect. So they are in there somewhere just the classes/cleric/domain path is not working quite right or something.
I am loving playing around with this. Ok but another problem I have encountered. When I go to Spells/Spell Descriptions/Divine Spell List I get description not available. This in itself is nothing major because the links work to the spells, just thought I would bring it to your attention.
In the meantime I will update the fix files tonight with some preliminary fixes we have, and will email all of my purchasers that a new fix file is available.
Now if I go Spells/Spell Descriptions/Cleric domains then they come up just perfect. So they are in there somewhere just the classes/cleric/domain path is not working quite right or something.
Ah ... I see it now. Thanks greyyone. Sorry for the confusion, it's been a long day.
I will get the code elves on this right away.
Just a quick note, where you see "Description Unavailable," that's because those spells (divine and epic spells if I recall) did not have short descriptions included in the SRD, and I wasn't about to 1) get them from published works that might not be under the OGL, or 2) commit myself to the amount of research and data entry that would have included since I don't have the D&D books in question. So I put in "description unavailable" to cover those, and also put a notice in the credits and legal section I believe (I'll have to go back and check).
Thanks again to all who have been helping with finding the little things we've missed. Both Ben and I greatly appreciate everyone's overwhelming response, and the positive praise of the product.
We may have another small update over the weekend.
Ben just sent me a few more updates, so I have an updated file for everyone to download again. Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone has any questions please let me know.
sure why at the moment. Since I'm webmaster over at Studio 2 I've uploaded it to their site and it seems to work fine. The file only seems to get corrupted when you download it from my DA host, so I'll have to call my host and see what the story is.
Thanks again to Stuart for his help, since I can't reach the forums from my day job.
Any idea if d20-srd is compatable as is with 1.05?
Well, while I didn't ask Ville this directly at the show, I would think that if it isn't he would have said something to me.
I will run some tests tonight, but I can't see why it wouldn't be fine. In the meantime, if anyone sees anything please let me know.
Well, I ran a few tests and everything seems to work fine. Remember, the ruleset is just data, and many of the changes in this patch were map and image related.
I will have to test the custom ruleset option at some point, but I really don't see an issue. Again, if someone finds something please email me ASAP.
I don't understand your question here?
Well, thats 3 posts he has made and 3 times he was not understood.
I think it is a bot of some sort... it always does a quote from a previous post but the text in the post has nothing to do with the quote.
Seems this is al handled very efficiently ... nice work Thore and the others.
So this is something that you update your FG with? Or is it added to the current version?
It is something you add on into FG. When you do, you'll have two options when starting a new campaign: the default ruleset and the d20-srd one.
I have to say this is a really nice add on for FG. I am still a bit puzzled as to if I need to patch or not. How can I tell which edition of the d20-SRD add on I am using?
I never patched it, but I also just bought it 3 days ago (wasn't sure if the download already contains the patch is another way to phrase this).
The one you downloaded should be upto date. If any changes are made you will get an email with a link to download the new 'version'.
Yes ... the patch was only for the first 20 or so customers, since we had some linking problems in the beginning.
... speaking of which ... look for one from me this weekend!
I seem to be missing the 'Kolyarut' from the Monsters list. I see the Marut and Zelekhut (the other Inevitables). I've looked under 'K' and 'I'.
It took a while, but I entered it into FG xml. I'll cut and paste it below and anyone that would like the critter could cut and paste it into their monsters.xlm. Any errors inclued are mine and not Thores.
Thore, l think its cool to post this here... let me know if its not and I'll remove it.
We ripped most of the code for the CSRD from a database, which must have been missing this entry. I'll double-check your entry and get it in a new build, plus put it up for download off my website.
I think what he means is that the download links for the update that you specified do not work. I just tried the Digital Adventures link as well as the mirror, and both give a "requested URL /rpg/SRD_fixes.zip was not found on this server" message.
The update is unneeded if you bought the ruleset after my first few purchases, which was sometime back in August. The changes were integrated into the current download.
I just installed the purchased ruleset into 1.05 Lite and it crashes when I try to use that ruleset.

Lewis,known for wearing his faith on his sleeve, or, shirt, evidenced by the "Psalm 91" shirt he recently revealed, has never shied away from his faith.
Lewis talks a big game; not everyone believes it. But is his Tebow-esqe vocality frowned upon because of his jaded past, or does his message lack authenticity? Is his preaching merely a facade to hide his guilt?
Those who know Lewis best believe his message is authentic and heartfelt. He's admitted he has a dark past, but should that stop him from preaching? It didn't stop Paul, the apostle. So why should it stop Ray Lewis?
There are certain things you cannot question about Ray Lewis. He is a leader. He is inspirational. And he is vocal about his Christian faith. But Lewis also raises another crucial question. You don't have to like him. You don't have to like the way he carries himself. You don't have to embrace him. But is it your job to question what he proclaims? Or Someone else's?

No hoodies for my son
(Kira Simring)
By Garlia Cornelia
When my husband and I found out we were having a boy, it was a bittersweet moment for me. A mini panic, in fact. The recent killings of young black men could not be ignored. Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Mike Brown. The beating of Rodney King. The murder of Emmett Till.
Having a son, I felt an immense sense of responsibility. Maybe more than bringing a black woman into the world (we already have a 2 ½ year old daughter). I didn't know how to raise a son, a black son, and I wanted to do it right.
Unborn, he was already a "Man Matching Description," and I feared the interaction in Jamaal May's poem.
the flashlight that sears my eyes
is too perfect to look away.
[…] and there is no power in the very human
frequency range of my voice and my name is dead
in my mouth and my name is in a clear font on a license
I can't reach for before being drawn down on—
Because the baton is long against my window,
the gun somehow longer against my cheek,
the vehicle cold against my abdomen
as my shirt rises, twisted in fingers
I was overwhelmed with the fear of experiencing the end of a life that had barely begun, and with the incessant violence against men of color my mind is no more at ease now with a 5-month-old baby boy.
There is one thing I feel like I can control: his clothing. I feel that clothing plays a tremendous part in his safety, since appearance is a large part of those descriptions of mistaken identity.
My father has worn a suit 95 percent of my life. During my childhood, he owned one pair of jeans that he wore only when mowing the lawn. Born in 1925, his generation of black men had fewer rights than they have now. His suit and tie, long overcoat and beret are his uniform. He was often labeled a "distinguished gentleman" who performed Shakespeare and sang "O Sole Mio" in a beautiful tenor.
I do not recall ever hearing my father speak to me directly about moments where he might have matched a description, and yet I know it was in the back of his mind.
My husband has a uniform as well. Since he's French, it consists of a more tailored look than the average American man. But again, it's usually nothing particularly matching "the description."
So out of my own fear, I made a few mental rules for my son's clothing choices:
No Jordan's.
No hoodies.
No baggie jeans, baggie pants, or comfortable clothing for non-recreational use.
Nothing that would make him lose rank.
I imagined him in little suits like a friend's sons, because I would let no one mistake my son and kill him. His life expectancy is already 5 years shorter than that of a white boy born today. And in a new poll by propublica.org, black males ages 15 to 19 are 21 times more likely to be fatally shot by police. If dressed in those suits, the stray bullet from that policeman's gun that thought my son was someone he was not, would never happen.
So while my white female counterparts were thinking of nursery decor during their pregnancies, I could not escape the thoughts of how I must protect my son from his own country. A country struggling, as Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts puts it, "to assert black humanity in a country built on its denial."
Is my plan foolproof? No.
Those choices didn't work for my brother. I watched my parents' concern about the same stereotyping. Neither of us had been the children who sat with the black kids in high school, but we weren't members of elite organizations for the black middle class, like Jack and Jill, either.
As a child, my brother was a classic "Carlton Kid": black, preppy and proud of it. But he didn't stay that way for long. I remember an incident when he was in 3rd grade when he was on a Scout field trip. A white kid, who had been bugging him all year, teased him. My brother had been doing well in school at that point. But this little boy got into a fight with my brother and somehow, something was taken from him. Not physically, but he was a changed boy mentally and emotionally. As brilliant as he is, those kids changed him because his definition of black was not theirs.
Even Carlton was subject to matching a description.
When my husband dons his gym attire, which includes a hoodie, or when he works late and walks home from the train with his headphones on, I am concerned. I would feel more comfortable if a thought bubble floated above his head, displaying his IT resume, finance background and his thoughts on the John Coltrane, Miles Davis, or Ornette Coleman that is likely playing in his ears.
The killings and violence against black men lately, especially black youth, is frightening. But can it be stopped? If the movement suited up its men and young boys, would the descriptions change and the outcome remain the same? Or are the hoodies and other pieces of baggy clothing just meaningless facades, making the description, as May depicts in his poem and as others describe, the dark skin, still struggling to find its way in a country that has used its wearer to its fullest.

5 ways to raise a child to be kind


Science says go for it.
Bigfoot. The deadly combo of Pop Rocks and cola. Uncontrollable holiday weight gain. Turns out, not even that last one was ever real.
When National Institutes of Health researchers looked into the oft-repeated claims that most people pack on five or more pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's (some estimates have gone as high as 10!), they found the actual average gain was less than a pound.
The key word here? Planned. Spur-of-the-moment splurges can set in motion what University of Toronto researcher Janet Polivy, Ph.D., has dubbed the "what-the-hell effect": You feel like you've already blown it, so why not chow down?
"You don't want to be heavily restrictive about what you eat during the holidays, nor do you want to go overboard to the point of discomfort," says Mann.
Get a head start on starch.
Cooking and then cooling potatoes, pasta, and rice converts some of their carbs into what's known as resistant starch, a fiber-like substance that your body can't digest. As it passes through your system, it occupies space in your stomach, filling you up. Besides helping you feel sated, one study showed that replacing just over 5 percent of a meal's carbohydrates with resistant starch increases fat burning by about 20 percent. So at least 12 hours before the big meal, cook any potato, pasta, or rice dish you plan to serve. The effect persists even when you reheat, so you'll save both time and calories at your dinner.
Once you've cooked the spuds ahead, lighten them more by using a contraption called the Smood ($25, dreamfarm.com). Its shape—a cross between a whisk and a plunger—is perfect for making fluffy potatoes without cream or butter. Other handheld mashers require a lot more elbow grease and still leave chunks behind, but this tool forces potato between gaps in the coil to iron out lumps.
If you want to indulge in white bread on your cheat day rather than the more blood-sugar-friendly wheat, try this: Freeze it, then pop it in the toaster. That will lower its glycemic index (a measure of how quickly a food spikes blood glucose) by nearly 50 percent, according to a study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers suspect the two-step process changes the structure of the starch molecules in bread, leading it to behave more like a complex carb (those good-for-you whole grains) than a simple one (the nonfilling, fast-digesting, refined baddies). Result: fewer blood-sugar roller-coaster rides that promote cravings.
Canned food = processed food. And the more processed a food, the faster your body can turn it into glucose, a.k.a. sugar. Biologists at Pomona College served calorically identical meals, but gave one group food made with processed ingredients while the other group was served whole foods. When they measured diet-induced thermogenesis—the additional calories burned when eating and digesting—in the hours afterward, it was nearly 50 percent higher in the group that ate the unprocessed meal. Swap canned green beans for fresh, and store-bought fried onions for caramelized ones or toasted nuts, which provide the same crunch but have healthier fats. In sweet potato casserole, nix the marshmallows and top with a mixture of fat-free Greek yogurt, honey, chopped mint, toasted walnuts, and a pinch of salt, suggests chef Isaac Bancaco of the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort in Hawaii.

Az Élővíz-csatorna vízhasznosítási (többnyire belvíz levezetésére szolgáló) mesterséges csatorna Gyula–Békéscsaba–Békés között. Békéscsabán sok helybeli egyszerűen "Körösnek", vagy "Körös-csatornaként" emlegeti, mivel jelentős részén az egykori Fehér-Körös holtágában halad. Békésen a gúnyneve az egykori gyári szennyezés miatt Büdös-Körös.

Története
Az Élővíz-csatorna egy része természetes eredetű, a Fehér-Körös egykori ágaiban halad, míg középső, Békéscsaba környéki szakasza emberkéz által létrehozott, mesterséges csatorna, amelyet 1777-ben ástak meg a békéscsabai polgárok, közhasznú munkával. Gyulán valaha a Fehér-Körös folyt keresztül, ezt azonban az 1850-es években biztonsági okokból a várost elkerülő mesterséges mederbe terelték. A régi meder képezi ma az Élővíz-csatorna gyulai szakaszát, amely mindig tiszta vizet kap a Fehér-Körösből.

A csatorna eredetileg a közelben fekvő Erdélyi-Szigethegység fáinak leúsztatására szolgál, mivel a környék igen fahiányos volt  a török háborúk után. Ezért eredetileg tutajozó csatornának készült el. Később az egyre növekvő és fejlődő Békéscsaba vezetése elhatározta, hogy a kanálist alkalmassá teszi a belvíz elvezetésére is. Így a későbbiek folyamán szivattyúkat helyeztek üzembe, először csak a déli, majd a középső és az északi szakaszon is, teljessé téve az elvezetést. Az idők során többször kotorták, mélyítették, szélesítették. 1888-ban a nagy csabai árvíz folyamán a Körösök gátszakadása nyomán a víz szintje meghaladta a Békéscsaba legmagasabb pontját, a Nagytemplom hátsó küszöbét, és csak rendkívüli erőfeszítéssel sikerült megvédeni a várost a körgát segítségével. Régebben gazdasági tevékenység is kötődött az Élővíz-csatornához, számos vízimalom is üzemelt rajta.

Jellemzői
A vízfolyás Gyula és Veszely között a Fehér-Körös egykori elhagyott medrében folyik, csak a Veszely–Békéscsaba–Sikony szakasz (14,2 km) mesterséges eredetű. Így a csatorna nagy részben természetes mederben folyik. Mai állapotában teljesen szabályozott, partja a városok területén kikövezett. Vízellátása a tavaszi olvadásoktól a késő őszig gravitációs úton történik. A víz megfelelő szinten tartását bögrerendszer biztosítja. Legnagyobb vízszállító képessége a torkolati szakaszon jelentkezik, ez 14 m³/s-ot jelent. Magas vízállás esetén a kifolyást két szivattyútelep üzemeltetésével lehet megoldani. További duzzasztóművek is épültek rajta például Békéscsabán is. Bár lassú folyása, nem túl nagy szélessége és mélysége miatt elméletileg könnyen befagyna, mégis, a gyulai és csabai fürdők meleg termálvize, valamint a belekerülő szennyvíz miatt ritkán alakul ki a városok területén belül összefüggő jégréteg. Ilyen telek voltak a közelmúltban a 2000/2001-es, 2002/2003-as, valamint 2008/2009-es hideg napjai, amikor a teljes szakaszán vastagon beállt, úgy, hogy korcsolyázni is lehetett rajta.

Meglehetősen szennyezettnek számít, ugyanis Gyula és Békéscsaba szennyvizének egy jó részét is befogadja, amit a természetes öntisztulási képesség csak részben tud ellensúlyozni Békésig. További gond a nem folyamatos vízutánpótlás, hiszen árvíz esetén a bevezetésnél esetenként lezárják a zsilipet, így ilyen időszakokban hetekig, esetleg egy hónapig sem juthat friss víz a kanálisba.

Hasznosítása
Napjainkban az egykori faúsztató tevékenység teljesen eltűnt, medre több helyen igen eliszaposodott, alig 1 méter mély. Az egykori kikötő a mai Békés Megyei Tudásház és Könyvtár mellett lévő nagy füves, mélyen fekvő terület volt. Az 1960-as években még rendszeresen fürödtek benne, olyan tiszta volt a vize. Jelenleg már sportolásra is ritkán használják, néha látni rajta csak kajakozókat, illetve Békéscsaba legnagyobb lakótelepe, a Lencsési lakóteleptől keleti irányban nyaranta főleg kisgyerekeket, amint fürödnek. Az ok nem  csak a szennyezettség (a várostól keletre még viszonylag tisztább, utána már egyre több szennyvíz kerül bele), hanem a mederkotrás hiánya is. Emiatt feladata inkább már csak a belvíz elvezetése. 2008-ban 370 millió forintot nyert a Békési Települések Vízvédelmi Egyesülete egy uniós pályázaton. Ennek keretében Gyulán úgynevezett vízpótló szivornyát, Békésen kis teljesítményű stabil szivattyút, míg a csatorna torkolati szakaszán egy, az uszadék folyamatos kiemelését végző szerkezet került telepítésre. Emellett csónaklerakók, uszadék-letermelő helyek is létesítve lettek. A csatornán 2008-tól kezdve egy korszerű, úszó nádvágó hajó teljesít szolgálatot.

Városi szakaszai
Békéscsabán a belvárosi szakaszán a partszegély ki van betonozva, a part mentén szomorúfűzek állnak. Érdekesség, hogy mind a Gyulai Várfürdő, mind a békéscsabai Árpád Gyógy- és Strandfürdő a partja mellett épült fel. Mindkét intézmény használt melegvize belefolyik a csatornába, így ezen kifolyások után a víz jóval melegebb, valamint szennyezettebb is. Gyulán szökőkutak, Békéscsabán szobrok, füzek díszítik partját, így az ideális sétálóhely. Békésen a Békés-Dánfoki üdülőtábor fekszik a partja mellett, itt lehetőség van fürdésre is.

LOKI Star Sophia Di Martino Reveals The Reason Her Character Wears A Broken Crown In The Series (2023)
Loki star Sophia Di Martino has shared some insight into the reason her character wears a broken crown in the Disney+ series, confirming that it is meant to pay homage to the comic books. Check it out! 8. The Time-Keepers' Hiding Place 7.Lamentis-1 6. No TemPad 5. "Sylvie" 4. The God Of Mischief's Sexuality 3. The Truth About The TVA 2. A Multiverse Of Variants 1. Romance For Loki...And Loki?
Loki star Sophia Di Martino has shared some insight into the reason her character wears a broken crown in the Disney+ series, confirming that it is meant to pay homage to the comic books. Check it out!
Sophia Di Martino's Loki Variant has proved to be one of Loki's most fascinating characters, but if this past Wednesday's episode made anything clear, it's that we still have much more to learn about her.
While she may be using the alias "Sylvie," she is a version of Loki, but certainly not the Lady Loki character from the comics. Instead, it seems Marvel Studios has borrowed several different elements from a number of characters, including the broken crown she's been wearing since we first met her.
Talking to Screen Rant, Di Martino shed some light on the significance of the crown.
"Sylvie's been on the run for a long time, she's been hiding out in apocalypses," the actress explained."She's been brawling a lot, she's been beating a lot of people up. I think the horn is probably broken somewhere along the line. It's also, I believe, inspired by the comics and the Lady Loki character. It says a lot about Sylvie - she's wearing a crown, but it's kinda broken."
A female version of the God of Mischief did indeed wear a broken crown in the pages ofLoki: Agent of Asgard, so this works as both a reference to that and as a way of showing Sylvie has been through a lot.
Based on the footage we've seen from upcoming episodes, something tells us we'll learn more about plans for Sylvie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the coming weeks.
Click on the "Next" button below to check out a breakdown
of the biggest reviews in yesterday's episode of Loki!
8. The Time-Keepers' Hiding Place
Mobius has never met the Time-Keepers, and while Renslayer seems to have some sort of open channel of communication with them, the three lizard-like creatures are clearly staying hidden.
There has to be a reason for that, and while the members of the TVA believe it's because they're hard at work crafting the Sacred Timeline, something tells us their motivations may be a little more sinister. Either way, we still don't know what gives them the right to decide how everyone's stories unfold, so it's no wonder Sylvie wants to destroy them (as Kang once did in the comics).
Either way, we now know that they're just an elevator ride away behind those golden doors, and that's where Loki and Sylvie will need to head if they hope to meet them. Initially, we suspected that Richard E. Grant might be playing King Loki, but now wouldn't be shocked if he's a Time-Keeper.
7.Lamentis-1
Lamentis-1 is a moon adjacent to the planet Lamentis, but in 2077, both are seemingly destroyed. We don't know what leads to that apocalypse, but the comic book version of this planet islocated on the edge of Kree-controlled space (possibly meaning the humanoids we see here are, in fact, Kree).
Believe it or not, the planet has only made one appearance on the page and that was inAnnihilation: Conquest Prologue #1. There, it was caught in the middle of a conflict betweenthe Annihilation Wave and the Phalanx, so it's possible that's what led to the massive scale of destruction we see here.
If so, the Annihilation Wave may still be decades away, but it would be pretty cool if this was meant to lay the groundwork for the big screen debut of classic Fantastic Four villain Annihilus.
6. No TemPad
By the time this episode ends, the TemPad has been destroyed, and Loki and Sylvie are trapped on a moon that's about to be obliterated. Needless to say, we're expecting them to escape somehow, but it won't be with the use of one of the devices the TVA uses to travel through the Sacred Timeline.
That doesn't necessarily mean time travel is off the table, but it could be that the next couple of episodes are set in the MCU's future (which would explain how the God of Mischief ends up in a version of New York City that's seemingly been decimated by an unknown attack or disaster).
If someone is coming to rescue them, that begs the question of who, and it could be at this point in the story we learn that Sylvie is working for or with other Loki Variants who hate the Time-Keepers.
5. "Sylvie"
So, we've now mentioned Sylvie a few times here, and it's in today's episode we learn that's the "alias" the female version of Loki has decided to give herself. She's definitely a Variant, but a clear lack of willingness to elaborate on her past makes us think there's still more to her story here.
She really didn't like being called "Loki," and the reason for that is bound to be addressed in some way. Perhaps she was created by another version of the God of Mischief - which would line up with her role as Enchantress in the comic books - and that's what makes her a Variant?
The TVA deciding she doesn't deserve to exist would be more than enough to explain why she hates the Time-Keepers, though the same could be said if she is a Loki. We'll have to wait and see.
4. The God Of Mischief's Sexuality
One of the biggest moments in this episode comes when Loki reveals that he's bisexual, something many fans have been hoping to see play out in the MCU for several years now.
We've never seen the God of Mischief get a love interest in this shared world, but if a season two is coming, then that could change. Either way, we learn that Loki has loved both men and women in his past, and while he's never found true happiness with anyone, it sounds like he'd be open to it.
Marvel Studios still has a long way to go when it comes to making sure the MCU reflects our world, but this is a step in the right direction and a reveal we hope won't be quickly movedaway from.
3. The Truth About The TVA
One of the biggest reveals in this episode of Loki comes when Sylvie casually mentions that the TVA's agents are all Variants. While Mobius has clearly been led to believe he was created by the Time-Keepers, the truth is much darker, and it seems these Variants have their memories taken from them and are subsequently brainwashed into towing the company like in the TVA.
That's all sorts of twisted, especially as we learn the young agent kidnapped by the female Loki has been in their service for hundreds of years despite once having a normal life on Earth.
The God of Mischief is clearly gob-smacked that the members of the TVA don't know the truth, and seeing as he's formed something of a bond with Mobius, he might just make it his mission to now set the record straight and take down the Time-Keepers. Either way, we just hope this is all leading to Mobiys finally getting the opportunity to ride a jet ski into the sunset.
2. A Multiverse Of Variants
We're starting to get a little more information about what it means to be a Variant in the MCU, and as the TVA is full of them...well, that would explain how there's a Multiverse packed with alternate versions of the heroes and villains we've grown familiar with over the past few years.
While we didn't anticipate the likes of Captain Carter and Jamie Foxx's Electro being "Variants," the idea certainly opens the door to a lot of storytelling opportunities. If the TVA can control a whole organisation made up of these alternate versions of those who stepped off the Sacred Timeline, we have a feeling the Multiverse won't fall apart if different timelines are allowed to exist.
Either way, it's clearthe events of Loki willset the stage for the introduction of the sort of concepts we'll see in What If?, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
1. Romance For Loki...And Loki?
When Sylvie attempts to enchant Loki, there's an oddly touching moment that many fans have already assumed could lead to a romance between the Variants. It's a cool idea and one that would be fun to explore over the next few episodes (talk about an MCU power couple).
However, we can't help but wonder whether there's more to that scene than meets the eye. Remember, in the comic books, Sylvie was created by the God of Mischief, so what if, in her timeline, he's her adoptive father? That would be one heck of a twist, and the reason she doesn't like being called "Loki" might be because it brings back some upsetting memories of his death.
That could have even come at the hands of the TVA, and we're now wondering whether Richard E. Grant could be playing a Loki who got a happy ending, only to have it torn from him by the Time-Keepers.

Aruba Hi-Winds 2023
Get ready for big air.
Compete:
Five days of
kitesurfing, windsurfing, biking
About Aruba Hiwinds
It was the year 1986. One Sunday afternoon, two friends were having some fun on the water with the wind, the waves and their windsurf equipment.
After their windsurf session of the day, Anthony Blok and Ruben Croes sat together and decided to go try and put Aruba on the water-sports map of the world. And Aruba Hi-Winds Pro-Am was born.
The 1st Aruba Hi-Winds was a success from day one. Many windsurf professionals joined in the competition. Big names like Björn Dunkerbeck , Robby Naish, Anders Bringdal, Stephan van den Berg, Jutta Müller, Britt Dunkerbeck and Natalie Lelièvre, just to name a few who have participated over the years. Talented amateurs, more than a few locals too, could race as well. First major sponsor was Peter Stuyvesant Travel.
For the last few decades, the Aruba Hi-Winds has been held at The Fisherman's Huts, with kiteboard freestyle competition held at Boca Grandi. But in the beginning the competition was held at Eagle Beach. Bigger waves with gustier winds and close to the shoreline. Spectacular action guaranteed. A selection of professional champions even rounded the entire island on their boards in 1991 and 1992, with Björn Dunkerbeck setting a new record time year after year.
Over the years Aruba Hi-Winds has embraced other types of watersports, like kitesurfing, kitefoiling, paddleboarding (SUP), while even Mountain-bike competition has become an important part of the schedule. All this has made the Aruba Hi-Winds more attractive to different kinds of participants.
The organizing committee is very proud that Aruba Hi-Winds is the longest running event of the Caribbean with only 2020 and 2021 canceled, you know why…
We hope you will enjoy the Aruba Hi-Winds 2023 with its new format.

City College, meet Cambell
Vanessa Gomez and Vanessa Gomez
David Campbell, a digital audio production and biology major and a self-proclaimed "underdog and independent student," won the Associated Student Government presidential election, dominating the votes of the student body with 392 votes out of 705 participating voters.
Although the election results were temporarily suspended last week due to the controversy during the election, Denise Whisenhunt, Dean of Student Affairs, made his win official by commenting that "(Campbell) would be our next ASG president."
Campbell was originally inspired to run for president when he was approached by a former president who couldn't offer him an answer to what the ASG's agenda exactly was. Campbell also noted during the presidential debate that he felt that school activities were "declining."
Campbell said he felt "intimidated by all the Team Klue posters on campus" and the citycollegeaction.com Web site. He decided in order to win over City students, he had to use their voices and opinions directly and really find out what the students needed.
Campbell said he felt his campaign was "pretty damn strategic," and walked around campus with his notebook talking to students. He asked every student he came in contact with what they personally wanted to see change on campus.
Campbell made it a point to push himself to students as the "underdog," telling students that he was "the independent candidate," and "a student just like you guys."
Campbell also mentioned that he was excited to work with his vice-president elect, Christopher Conyers, a current ASG senator. Campbell said that Conyers had "more experience with ASG and really cares about changes that are to be made on campus."
Conyers, who recently resigned as vice president, felt that Campbell ran a great campaign. "At first it was at the debates when we first heard 'my name is Campbell, like the soup.' It stuck" Conyers said. "Then the signs appeared. When I found out that he spent the entire campaign talking to people is when I believed in him."
Campbell already has plans to kick off his presidency by tackling the first few issues on his agenda.
"My focus is to work on things that aren't limited by budget," Campbell said. He wanted to start uniting all City club presidents and arrange club fairs.
"If we meet altogether, we could all be on the same page," Campbell noted. "Maybe we could set up an event calendar that had everyone events on it and post it on the (City College) Web site or post it in the (City Times) paper. Not everyone sees all the posters up on campus, so this could be another way to market it."
Another major focus of Campbell's is developing art shows and festivals to showcase student talent. "Students that are also musicians could play in the background" Campbell noted.
Campbell said he realizes that there are many important issues affecting students that will take more than just funding to fix.
"The cafeteria is too expensive for students," Campbell claimed. "I know it's a work in progress, but maybe we could work on a dollar menu with some snacks on it, like frozen burritos."
Free Internet access on campus was on the majority of students' minds when Campbell spoke to them, and although he's not quite sure how to set that up, Campbell noted that he would follow up with campus official to get the ball rolling on that project.
Campbell also wanted to promote the upcoming City Knights school dance May 15 at 7 p.m. He said he feels that it will bring all different kinds of groups together and that it could be "a good start to start connecting our school." The event will have a taco stand and sodas for the students and tickets are $5.
Campbell also wanted to let the students know that little experience in ASG didn't necessarily mean he wouldn't be able to do a good job. "If I bit off more than I can chew, then I just have to start chewing faster and harder!" Campbell exclaimed.

In this article I will configure my workstation, focused primarily on virtualization and Linux.
Do you want to run Linux on top of Windows? Or do you want to run Windows on top of Linux? It's a hardware feature!
Hi Folks! This is part 1 of a new series involving KVM (Kernel Virtual Machines), VFIO and AMD hardware. To be more specific the X399 platform coupled with a Threadripper 1950X (with lots of cores/threads). Of course, the host OS will be the Fedora 29.
Very CORES, much THREADS. WOW!
I'd like to start with the struggle I had with a legacy BIOS GPU (my Radeon 7950) installed as the main/boot GPU in my workstation. The answer is pretty simple: you will need 2 UEFI compatible GPUs in order to take advantage of VMs accessing real hardware. Even with an updated version of the BIOS, my workstation would randomly switch between posting on the GPU @ the 1st PCIe slot and the GPU intended for virtualization only (and me trying to unload drivers to force the OS to not register it as a POST GPU in the UEFI process).
It's essential to have 2 UEFI compatible GPUs installed in your workstation.
So there I was at the store, buying another GPU just to work around some Linux OS limitations. I chose to get a GIGABYTE GTX 1050 Ti and the whole setup worked like a charm once again.
If you have INTEL hardware and your processor comes with an iGPU, you won't face the issues mentioned above. You'll only have to configure your PC to post on the integrated GPU instead and have a discrete GPU reserved. That applies to 2nd Generation Ryzen processors as well.
The AMD terminology differs from Intel: instead of VT-d and VT-x, we look for AMD-V hardware. So, just make sure the MOBO supports SVM and IOMMU. I have some pictures of my Asrock X399 Taichi BIOS, showing where to enable the hardware features.
Save the changes and reboot your computer.
As of X11 Window Manager 1.20.3 (kernel 4.19.9), you MUST install the linux drive from NVIDIA. Otherwise, you won't be able to login with the X11 visual interface. So please, refer to their website on how to do (it can be fairly complicated, because it involves having to download the kernel-devel and packages meant for compiling stuff).
Don't worry about unloading the NOUVEAU driver after installing the official linux driver, NVIDIA already does that for us.
If you are new to the subject, you might be wondering "why do I have to care about IOMMU groups?". Well, IOMMU groups are basically small hardware groups and the VFIO driver needs to access the entire device hierarchy in order to effectively control a device.
For example: in order to pass-thru the USB controllers to a VM I also have to give control of the hardware controlling them... it's kinda confusing right now, but it becomes easier in the future.
IOMMU groups are particular to hardware, so they differ from motherboard to motherboard.
Heck, they may even vary from hardware revision to hardware revision, so make sure you know your equipment.
Save the following shell script in a .sh file, give it +x permission via chmod and execute it. Script obtained from this source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF.
Let's say we wanna use the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW in a virtual machine, because of reasons... did you notice a few devices listed under IOMMU Group 13? So in order to passthru 1 device, we would have to attach the VFIO driver to EVERY device listed under IOMMU Group 13 (which is unpractical). For internet access in the VM, I bought an USB 3.0 wireless adapter from AMAZON.
Well, we basically went through the second step by listing the devices above. I wrote down the Hardware IDs for later.
You have to add the following parameters to the /etc/default/grub, specifically at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX: "amd_iommu=fullflush amd_iommu_dump=on rd.driver.pre=vfio-pci iommu=pt kvm_amd.avic=1 rd.driver.pre=amd_iommu_v2".
Now, update your grub2 boot configuration file, by executing grub2-mkconfig and setting the output to the file @ /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg.
Last, but not least: execute the dracut -f command to force the OS to create new & updated kernel images. Finally, it's time to reboot your PC.
Well, in the next article I will be going through the steps of creating a Windows VM using the Virtual Machine Manager.

Illinois could see effects of climate change as soon as 2020
by Claire Hettinger/For Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting September 1, 2016 January 23, 2023

With record corn and soybean yields projected for this harvest season, the climate has been pretty good to Illinois crops in recent years, providing the heat and humidity needed to help the plants prosper.
But July 2016 was the hottest month in recorded history, and, while short term yields are nice, not all farmers are worried about the long-term effects that climate change could bring to agriculture in Illinois.
"From a farmer perspective, to a certain extent, the climate has always changed," Rodney Weinzierl president of the Illinois Corn Growers Association said.
But not in the way that is projected over the next century; an increase in temperature and a shift in rain patterns could mean a 15 percent yield loss in the next five to 25 years and up to a 73 average yield loss by the end of the next century if farming patterns don't change significantly, University of Illinois finance professors Don Fullerton and Julian Reif laid out in a report released from the Institute of Government and Public Affairs last year.
"If it's warmer, we'll have more problems with disease, plant diseases, and we'll also have more insects," – Lin Warfel
The report says significant changes, including changes in precipitation and yield, could be noticeable as soon as 2020.
"I would stress that there is a lot of uncertainty behind all of these different predictions, so part of the difficulty is that it's hard to know what is going to be the biggest effect," Reif said.
State Climatologist Jim Angel projects that temperature changes could become more dramatic, if precipitation doesn't maintain the high levels it's been at in recent years. Summers also have been more humid, which is harder on livestock.
Angel also projects more mild winters will lead more weeds, insects and diseases to survive throughout the winter, leading to higher numbers that could lower yields and quality. Mild winters also hurt fruit crops in 2007 and 2012, when the plants emerged too early and were killed by a spring frost.
"Farmers ask me more questions about climate change than any other group," Angel said in a recent statement. "Climate change affects their bottom line, so they need to know about temperature and precipitation changes that will influence their operation."
Lin Warfel, a farmer near Champaign, said he has already begun experiencing the changes with his crop growth and has started experimenting with different types of seeds.
But at the same time, he said, changes in weather are nothing new for farmers. Warfel said he has worked through 53 harvests of the climate changing and has always made adjustments to do what's best for his crops.
"I have a sense that I know the possibilities, and there is nothing exotic about it," he said.
Fullerton said he and Reif found these changes could cause problems for farmers mostly because the timing of the weather will shift.
"If temperatures change, and the climate is warming, I can adjust to that, very easily. I need to be prepared for a warm season and a cold season, so that's just part of the process of being a farmer," Warfel said.
But according to the report, even if the total rainfall stays the same, there will be downpours that cause flooding in the spring and droughts in the summer. Both of which would disrupt crop growth.
All of these issues contribute to expenses for farmers. And Illinois saw an out-of-pocket spending increase for farmers of almost $350 million on crop insurance pay outs, not including premiums, from 2000 to 2011, and Reif said the weather changes will only increase spending and premiums as there is more variance in crop output.
If the report is correct, farmers will either have to expect lower crop yields or adapt to a new way of farming with different crop patterns or planting drought resistant crops, Fullerton said. This could mean farmers having to plant at different times with drought resistant species or invigorating irrigation systems to help plants survive the warmer summer months.
That is what Warfel has been doing: researching and finding the best seeds for the changes in the weather he experiences every year.
Some of the actions he's taking are visiting demonstration plots to see which genetics are working best, attending classes and lectures and researching the weather every morning.
The changes he's made so far are drought resistant corn seeds and soybean seeds that take the maximum advantage of sunlight and can survive in cooler soil. Warfel said he can now plant his soybeans earlier, which allows for more growth time and generally higher yields.
Weinzierl explained that adjusting to climate change will be easier for Illinois' annual farmers because they can choose different seeds each year based on the way different hybrids grew the year before. Perennial farmers, who plant trees and fruits, will have a harder time because they only plant every couple years or even every 10 years.
Other problems that Warfel mentioned are disease and insects.
"If it's warmer, we'll have more problems with disease, plant diseases, and we'll also have more insects. One of the things here in central Illinois that helps us is really cold winters that kills the disease organisms and also kills insects," Warfel said. "So if it's warmer in the winter, we won't kill as many bugs, and we'll have more plant diseases."
The report also found that the increasing temperature could be a problem for the electricity infrastructure in the summer. Existing infrastructure is not built to handle the amount of energy required to supply that much air conditioning. When it reaches peak demand, it might fail and cause brownouts where whole portions of the state would get no electricity.
A heat wave in Chicago in 1995 caused approximately 750 deaths, according to the report. In a few years, Chicago will again likely experience between five to 20 days with heat and humidity conditions similar to this.

W Ted Allison; Characterizing cone pedicle connectivity in zebrafish. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):3730.
Purpose: Zebrafish are a premier animal model of cone photoreceptor development and physiology, being the only diurnal cone-rich species with tractable genetics. Zebrafish cone function, morphology and development are conserved with humans. One aspect that is distinct from mammals is the zebrafish cone mosaic: an obvious spatial pattern exists amongst the cone spectral subtypes, resulting in rigid neighbor relationships. Here we document the connectivity pattern of the four cone types (ultraviolet-, blue-, green- and red-sensitive cones = UV-, B-, G- and R-cones) at the level of the synapse, knowledge of which impinges upon understanding how/why cone mosaics are formed and how signals are processed towards colour vision.
Methods: Cones were labelled using a combination of transgenic fish expressing GFP or mCherry in cone subtypes, along with immunohistochemistry to cone subtypes, including use of opsin antibodies whose specificity had not previously been characterized in zebrafish. Antibody specificity was determined using double-labelling to compare with established markers.
Results: Zebrafish UV- and B-cones are known to have single-cone morphology and have their cell bodies packed evenly into contiguous rows. The R- and G-cones are fused along their apical-basal axis into a double-cone pair. Pedicles of double cones are confirmed here to be fused. UV- and B-cone synaptic pedicles have an unexpected relationship that does not match their contiguous spacing observed at the level of the cell body. Instead, UV- and B- cone pedicles are adjoined in distinguishable pairs, akin to the fusion of R- and G-cones into double cone pairs. Telodendria are observed to form connections beyond these UV-/B-cone pedicle pairs.
Conclusions: The function of both double cone photoreceptors and cone mosaics remains debatable, as do the mechanisms underpinning their development. Speculatively, the fusion of UV- and B-cone pedicles identified here adds weight to the hypothesis that cone packing is adaptive for signal processing, perhaps increasing processivity speed during comparison of signals from cone spectral-subtypes prior to (or at the synapse onto) second order neurons. The data is also interpreted in light of the hypothesis that cone mosaics are adapted to detect moving stimuli. Further, this work serves as encouraging baseline data for mapping connectivity of the regenerated cone photoreceptors that we observe following cone subtype-specific ablation.

Q: Is an overloaded operator= required at this example?
Possible Duplicate:
What is The Rule of Three?

People say that if you need a destructor then you actually need an overloaded operator=
struct longlife{ };
class z
{
 z(){};
 ~z(){ for( auto it=hold.begin();it!=hold.end() ++it ) delete(*it); };
 vector<longlife*> hold;
};

Suppose all pointer inserted on hold were newheap allocated, why is anything else besides a deconstructor needed on this example?
By anything else I mean things like,
z& operator=( const z&ref )
{
 hold = ref.hold;
 return *this;
}

Would:
z a;
a.hold.push_back( heap_item );
z a2;
a2 = a;

Cause memory leak? Sometimes it's hard to understand why the rule of three is a rule

A: Not only is the assignment operator required, you also need to implement a copy constructor. Otherwise the compiler will provide default implementations that will result in both copies (after assignment / copy construction) containing pointers to the same longlife instances. Destructors of both copies will then delete these instances leading to undefined behavior.
z a;
a.hold.push_back( heap_item );
z a2;
a2 = a;

Both a.hold[0] and a2.hold[0] contain a pointer to the same heap_item; thus causing double deletion during destruction.
The easy way to avoid having to implement the assignment operator and copy constructor is to use a smart pointer to hold the longlife instances in the vector.
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<longlife>> hold;

Now there's no need to even write a destructor for your class.

For C++03, your options are to use std::tr1::shared_ptr (or boost::shared_ptr) instead of unique_ptr or use boost::ptr_vector (of course, this is also an option for C++11) instead of std::vector.

A: Because without an assignment operator and a copy constructor you may end up with multiple hold vectors pointing to the same heap item, resulting in undefined behavior upon destruction:
z firstZ;
if (somethingIsTrue) {
    z otherZ = firstZ;
    // play with otherZ...
    // now otherZ gets destructed, along with longlife's of the firstZ
}
// now it's time to destroy the firstZ, but its longlife's are long gone!

Of course you would not have this problem had you used a vector of objects or a vector of "smart pointers", rather than a vector of "plain old" pointers.
See the Rule of Three for more information.

A: Actually there will be a double free here, not a memory leak.
STL containers store objects, not references. In your case object is a pointer. Pointers are simply copied. Your line a2 = a; will duplicate pointer in the vector. After that each destructor will release the pointer.
Double free is much more dangerous than the memory leak. It causes nasty undefined behavior:
MyStruct *p1 = new MyStruct();
delete p1;
.... do something, wait, etc.
delete p1;

at the same time on the other thread:
MyOptherStruct *p2 = new MyOtherStruct();
.... do something, wait, etc.
p2->function();

It may turn out that memory allocator will assign to p2 exactly the same value that was used for p1, because it is free after the first call to delete p1. A while later second delete p1 will also go fine because allocator thinks that this is a legitimate pointer that was given out for p2. The problem will appear only at p2->function();. Looking at the code of thread 2 it is absolutely impossible to understand what went wrong and why. This is extremely difficult to debug, especially if the system is big.

A: It would cause a double delete (and crash) on the destructor of a or a2 (whichever was destroyed second) because the default assignment constructor would do a binary copy of the memory state of hold.  So each object a and a2 would end up deleting the exact same memory.

A: From your comments:

@Xeo, I understand what the rule of three is, the question is mostly
  why is it a rule

Consider what happens here:
z& operator=( const z&ref )
{
 hold = ref.hold;
 return *this;
}

Lets say you have an instance of z:
z myz;
myz.a.hold.push_back( new long_life );

...and then you create a copy of this myz:
z my_other_z;
// ...
my_other_z = myz;

The operator= implementation you have provided above simply copies the contents of the vector.  If the vector has pointers, it doesn't make copies of whatever's being pointed to -- it just makes a literal copy of the pointer itself.
So after operator= returns, you will have 2 instances of z that have pointers pointing to the same thing.  When the first of those zs is destructed, it will delete the pointer:
~z(){ for( auto it=hold.begin();it!=hold.end() ++it ) delete(*it); };

When it comes time for the second z to be destroyed, it will try to delete the same pointer a second time.  This results in Undefined Behavior.
The solution to this problem is to make deep copies when you assign or copy objects that maintain resources that need to be allocated and deleted.  That means providing an assignment operator and a copy constructor.
That is why the rule of three is a RULE.
EDIT:
As others have mentioned, this is all better avoided altogether by using value semantics and RAII.  Reengineering your objects to use the Rule of Zero, as others have called it, is a much better approach.

Hotels in Cardiff
Hotels in United Kingdom
Leonardo Hotel Cardiff
1 Park Place, CF10 3UD Cardiff
In Cardiff's city centre
Cardiff may be relatively small, but its character and energy are mighty. The capital of Wales since just 1955, this is the location of the National Assembly for Wales, and the centre even has its own medieval castle. However, ask any local and they'll tell you that the true heart of the city is the Principality Stadium, the home of Welsh rugby. The sport is more like a religion here, with match days seeing the centre overrun with the red dragon and daffodil motifs that are the symbols of Wales. But this is a city with more than one string to its bow, and if you're looking at hotels in Cardiff city centre, you'll find just what you're after at Leonardo Hotel Cardiff.
Located on the southern tip of Wales, Cardiff is a coastal city that includes the historic centre and the newer Cardiff Bay area, where the parliament building and the Wales Millennium Centre – the national arts centre – are situated. To get a fuller picture of the history of the area, head to the National Museum Cardiff in Cathays Park, where you can discover how the Welsh landscape was formed and see works by some of the country's top artists.
From the mecca that is St David's shopping centre to the historic Royal Arcade, keen shoppers are well catered for in Cardiff city centre. But visitors should also head down to Cardiff Bay, where a boat tour of the coastline will reveal a different side to the city, whether you opt for a gentle water taxi or a high-speed RIB experience.
Make no mistake: the Welsh know how to party, and Cardiff's nightlife is legendary, with bars and clubs of every persuasion on offer as well as the Motorpoint Arena, which regularly hosts international stars. It's also worth taking a day to venture south to the quirky town of Barry, best known for its starring role in the beloved BBC series Gavin and Stacey, beautiful beaches and the famous Barry Island Pleasure Park.

The monsters in Bird Box are currently the film's biggest mystery, and not showing them off to viewers is generally considered the movie's biggest "mistake" - but, in reality, keeping the monsters hidden is why it's actually great. Instead of releasing another big winter movie over Christmas weekend, Netflix opted to provide subscribers with a thriller to keep them on their toes throughout the rest of the holiday season. And, so far, it's been quite the smashing success.
Starring Sandra Bullock, Trevante Rhodes, Rosa Salazar, and more, Bird Box is a post-apocalyptic thriller directed by Susanne Bier and based on the novel of the same name by Josh Malerman, which takes place in two time periods - immediately after society's collapse and then five years later. Centering on Malorie and her two children - Boy and Girl - Bird Box's basic premise is that there are now monsters in the world, and looking at the monsters will force someone to kill themselves.
Considering Bird Box's story is about monsters that prey people's senses - in this case, sight - the film has obviously drawn comparisons to this year's A Quiet Place, which is another post-apocalyptic thriller that has monsters preying on people's senses. But among the numerous differences between the two films, one of the biggest differences is that Bird Box holds back its monsters. Whereas A Quiet Place's monsters are quite prominent, Bird Box refrains from ever showing (or even describing) its monsters.
Not showing Bird Box's monsters has been considered the film's biggest "mistake," but in addition to setting it apart, could it actually be one of its greatest strengths? Compared to the general conception of monsters, which are typically creatures that inflict physical harm on individuals, Bird Box's "monsters" are more psychological in nature. Based on what was revealed in the film, everyone who sees the monsters sees something different, and not everyone who looks at them dies immediately. While there are several supporting characters in the film, audiences experience the story through the eyes of the main character, Malorie.
Since she survives the film and doesn't "see" the monsters herself, then it makes sense that viewers wouldn't either. After all, revealing them would mean that she or one of the children would probably die. Instead, audiences see how the monsters affect the environment, particularly the Earth's gravity. Interestingly, there are moments in the film in which audiences do get a sense of what the monsters may look like; first, by seeing a silhouette of a creature walking by the house at night and, second, through Gary's (Tom Hollander) sketches that he lays out on the table.
For the purpose of Bird Box, that's all viewers need to see in order to understand that there are monsters in the world now. Choosing to not show the monsters is a great decision because it not only keeps the mystery alive but also works quite well in the overarching narrative about sight equaling death. Plus, sometimes revealing the monsters in movies like this can be anticlimactic, and since each monster is supposedly different in Bird Box, it seems the filmmakers made the right choice by hiding them away.


Nothing Stays Buried by P. J. Tracy – Blog Tour Review and Giveaway.
The Monkeewrench series is one that I followed in its early years and I was quite surprised when I saw how many books had now been published. I have only read a couple, so now I can add the books I've not read to all the other series' I want to catch up on. Even though I was familiar with a couple of the characters, I really read this as a standalone novel without any problems with missing any back story.
Initially both teams are working different cases, but as the body count rises Gino and Magozzi realise that they are linked. They make contact with Grace and the others and head straight into a different type of danger on their way to join them. A tornado.
I've never a read series before where two different types of investigators have equal coverage in a novel. Whilst Monkeewrench dealt with technology they left the detecting to the police and they worked well together with a mutual respect. It looked like an established formula that was easy and interesting to read.
The main characters had strong personalities and all were believable. There were hang ups from some, and a few unexplained issues but I'm sure I will get to know them all very well when I read the earlier books. Both Annie and Roadrunner especially were very intriguing. Walt was a character that I adored. He is not a regular character, it is his daughter who has gone missing. Marla is all he has left in the world after his wife and son died a few years earlier. I was hoping that they could bring her home and he could get some happiness again. He coped beautifully with the arrival of Monkeewrench, many of who were a mixed bag of personalities. Probably nothing that a down to earth farmer had ever seen before.
The storyline concerning the tornado was just as intimidating as that of the killer. Living in the U.K we have no idea how powerful the weather can be in other parts of the world. The speed and the depth of the destruction left behind was frightening.
I am delighted that I have two books to giveaway today ( U.K. only) courtesy of the publishers Michael Joseph. I will pick two winners using a random number generator from blog shares and retweets of the pinned blog post on twitter. I will then pass the winners details on to Jenny Platt so she can send the books out. The competition will close at 12pm on Friday.

FP-world / Passion Day
Imola remembers Senna 20 years after fatal crash
Pubblicato il 25 Aprile 2014 ore 10:50
[By Isla Binnie – Reuters] 25 aprile 2014 – Twenty years after Ayrton Senna died at Imola's race track, the town is gearing up to honour a Formula One driver it remembers as much for his charity and charisma as his three world championship wins.
Memories of the great Brazilian are still clear in the minds of many in the northern Italian town where five days of events to commemorate the anniversary begin on April 30.
"I remember it like it was yesterday. I cried for a week," said bar owner Gianni Mezzetti, 56, founder of the Barrichello Fans Club named after Senna's compatriot and former Ferrari driver Rubens.
Mezzetti and other Imola residents recalled how Senna visited a young fan paralysed in an accident every time he came to the town, and the owner of the hotel where he stayed said he always gave race tickets to staff.
The May 1 death of Senna, the last driver killed during a Formula One race, and Austrian Roland Ratzenberger the day before sent shockwaves through the motor racing world and led to sweeping changes to safety regulations.
A devout Catholic, who took solace from the Bible and donated significant sums to helping the under-privileged in his homeland during his career, Senna was nonetheless a fierce competitor and outspoken critic of his rivals.
Spats with other drivers, and notably team mate and rival Alain Prost, were well publicised during his life and in the 2010 documentary 'Senna' by Asif Kapadia which will be shown during the celebrations.
In Imola, whose circuit is named after the late Ferrari founder Enzo and his son Dino, they prefer to remember the champion for his humility rather than for any track controversies.
"He was a modest guy, who drove because it was his passion but he never forgot the final finish line," said Don Sergio Mantovani, known in Italy as the "Pilots' Priest" for his close relationship with the drivers.
Even in a Ferrari-mad town with close ties to Maranello, Senna – who never drove for the Italian team and won all his titles and most of his races in a McLaren – was a hero, recognised the world over.
"He was really admired even by Ferrari fans, and most of us here are Ferraristi. He was respected for more than his victories, also as a person. And dying like that, he became a legend," said retired market trader Oliviero Lanzoni, 63.
Senna won three times at the circuit – in 1988, 1989 and 1991 – but kept a lower profile than some of his flashier colleagues.
"He was unusual. I remember seeing him shopping alone in the supermarket here," said Maria Pia Rocca, secretary general of Formula Imola, which manages the track.
No more Super-Champions
Senna died when his Williams car crashed into a concrete wall at the flat-out Tamburello corner after leaving the track at around 310kph.
Professor Sid Watkins, the late Formula One doctor and eminent neurosurgeon who was in the medical car and one of the first to reach the stricken driver, recalled the scene.
"He looked serene. I raised his eyelids and it was clear from his pupils that he had a massive brain injury. We lifted him from the cockpit and laid him on the ground," he wrote in his book 'Life at the Limit'.
"As we did, he sighed and, though I am totally agnostic, I felt his soul departed at that moment."
Fans still pin flowers and handwritten notes to the fence while a statue has been erected in a park next to the track as a lasting tribute to a man whose funeral in Sao Paulo brought an estimated million people out onto the streets.
Organisers hope the anniversary events will bring people back to the track, which disappeared from the Formula One calendar in 2006 but still hosts the superbike world championship.
Flags from Scotland and Brazil left at the site are testament to the people who come from all over the world to pay homage to their hero, but the days when hordes of racing fans descended on the cirucit are gone.
"We are celebrating Senna and Ratzenberger, but also reviving the circuit," said Mariella Mengozzi, who is in charge of coordinating the commemorative events for FormulaPassion.it.
The track layout was changed after Senna's death, amid controversy surrounding the incident which saw team owner Frank Williams, technical director Patrick Head and former designer Adrian Newey go on trial in Italy.
All were eventually cleared. Williams, now 72, is still principal of his team and Newey is with champions Red Bull.
Engineers will discuss the evolution of safety in Formula One at the track on April 30 as part of unceasing efforts since Senna's death.
"After him there have been no more super-champions, no one that left a mark like he did," said Luisa Tosoni, owner of the hotel in Castel San Pietro Terme some 10km from Imola where Senna spent his last night.
The room the Brazilian always stayed in will be open to the public on April 30.
"He was a champion on the track but above all he was a champion in life," said Tosoni. "He was compassionate, had a unique rapport with people and always helped anyone who was in difficulty."

The Delphi Trilogy
5 out of 5 stars 10 Bewertungen
The Delphi Effect Inhaltsangabe
It's never wise to talk to strangers...and that goes double when they're dead. Unfortunately, seventeen-year-old Anna Morgan has no choice. Resting on a park bench, touching the turnstile at the Metro station - she never knows where she'll encounter a ghost. These mental hitchhikers are the reason Anna has been tossed from one foster home and psychiatric institution to the next for most of her life.
When a chance touch leads her to pick up the insistent spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered, Anna is pulled headlong into a deadly conspiracy that extends to the highest levels of government. Facing the forces behind her new hitcher's death will challenge the barriers, both good and bad, that Anna has erected over the years and shed light on her power's origins. And when the covert organization seeking to recruit her crosses the line by kidnapping her friend, it will discover just how far Anna is willing to go to bring it down.

The Delphi Resistance
Struggling with evolving psychic abilities, seventeen-year-old Anna Morgan and her equally exceptional friends are on the run from the ruthless Graham Cregg, leader of a covert operation known as the Delphi Project. Cregg has already killed repeatedly to test Anna's ability. Now, he and his father, a presidential contender, will stop at nothing to recapture the Delphi adepts, whom they see as weapons to be controlled - or destroyed.
The Abandoned: A Delphi Novella, 2.5
Leah Pfeifer has spent two years in an isolated cabin in Colorado with her almost three-year-old daughter, Anna, trying to protect the girl both from her inherited psychic ability and from the government organization that would be happy to exploit it. Trouble seems to find them anyway, and a panicked phone call from Leah's younger sister, Rowena, prompts Leah to leave in search of treatment for Anna and to rescue Rowena from the cycle of abuse that Leah herself narrowly escaped years ago.
The Delphi Revolution
Eighteen-year-old Anna Morgan is on the run from the very government project that created her abilities. Now they seek to weaponize the gift she doesn't want and can't control: the invasion of her mind and her body by spirits, some of whom have their own unusual powers. Her latest "hitcher" is a former top Delphi executive. Unlike Anna's previous guests, this one has taken over, and he's on a personal mission of revenge.

LOOK: Security officer caught removing diplomatic plate of Russian diplomat
Admin Wednesday, March 16, 2016
MANILA, Philippines- A security officer from McKinley Hill allegedly removed the diplomatic plate of a parked Mercedez-Benz in front of the PCGI building.
Photo Credit: TopGear Philippines
The incident was photographed and shared on the Facebook page of Top Gear Philippines by a certain Miko Duñgo Camacho. The post has over 2,600 shares as of press time.
Most netizens believe that what the security officer did is a violation since Land Transportation Office (LTO) personnel are the only ones authorized to remove license plates. A report by Coconuts Manila also revealed that the incident posed a much bigger problem since the license plate with plate number of 1,000 belongs to a Russian Diplomat.
Camacho pointed out in his post that the security officer's action could result to a big issue between the country and Russia as the vehicle in question is considered a "moving territory of Russia.
Moreover, several netizens commented that the owner of the vehicle has "diplomatic immunity" based on the Vienna Convention.

In the caption of his post, Camacho wrote: "This happened earlier in front of the the PCCI Building. The security officer from McKinley Hill was removing the plate of the parked Mercedes-Benz. This would have been fine under normal circumstances, but this car had a DIPLOMATIC PLATE (1000), meaning this is the Russian Ambassador's official vehicle. Maybe there's a new law on protocol, or maybe they have utter disregard for protocol. For me, this is just wrong. I think McKinley Hill security is going too far. This irresponsible action could result in a big issue between the Philippines and Russia."
As of this writing, the security personnel nor the people involved in the incident have not released a statement regarding the issue.
In his Facebook post, multimedia motoring journalist James Deakin said that the incident became an effective means to inform motorists that enforcers are not allowed to take your license plates.
Personally, I'm so happy that this happened. It doesn't even matter anymore what the driver of the car did because it...

War of Words Over 2016 Budget As SLPP MP's Set To Battle APC
Following the tabling of the Bill titled: "The Appropriation Act 2016" being an Act to authorize expenditure from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) for the services of Sierra Leone for the year 2016 by Dr. Kaifala Marah, Minister of Finance and Economic Development on Friday 6th November 2015, two firebrand Members of Parliament (MPs) have registered diametric views on the Bill ahead of its debate next week.
Speaking exclusively to this press, Hon. Umar Paran Tarawally (SLPP) representing Bo said that because he is displeased at the budget he 'deliberately' absented himself from the Well or proceeding.
He said he boycotted the budget reading because of the lack of priorities in the budgetary allocation.
"If government is allocating funds to specific aspects of national development, they should give priority to certain areas.
For me, the budget has not sufficiently addressed the priorities of Sierra Leone.
The priorities should be first and foremost service delivery," Hon Paran argued.
He noted that if the Executive and Councils are financially allocated funds yearly on behalf of citizens, they should be monitored.
"People who go after them to ensure that these services are well executed for the people, those that execute these services should be in a position to account to the people of Sierra Leone on how they executed these services and the resources they used in the execution, but unfortunately, Parliament that is responsible to undertake the monitoring of these service deliveries is seriously underfunded.
The allocation for Parliament is not appreciable," adding that he is not making a case for increment of salaries or other benefits for MPs.
"I am talking here about the recurrent or development budget for Parliament that has to do with administration," stressing that if Parliament is underfunded, they could not effectively carry out their activities and then it is therefore nonsense for him to go and sit to listen.
Hon Paran said his interest is the people of Sierra Leone who are in need of service delivery and in need of Parliamentary oversight for effectiveness and accountability which is lacking as a result of Parliament being underfunded, thus causing less oversight and improper administration.
"Our microphones in the Well are outdated and some not working, the toilets are stinky and filthy etc.
So to me, this is not a good budget when it comes to service delivery for the people of this country and how it can be monitored,"
Hon. Paran highlighted noting that: "I am urging us all when we come to Committee of Supply to recommend that we withhold the ministry of Finance's budget so that they will know they have a duty to perform."
However, on the contrary, Hon. Alhassan Kamara (APC Western Area) said that the budget is 'absolutely fantastic' and surpassed his expectation because of the Ebola misery.
The budget he said gives the nation hope in moving forward.
He said one thing that stands out clearly in the 2016 budget is that it shows "the continuous desire on the part of the government to improve on the human capacity of people in this country by way of putting more money into people's pockets in line with the post-Ebola recovery plan which caters for everybody right across the board," referencing disables, farmers, traders, civil servants all of which he said, stand out perfectly for him.
He added that he is hopeful in the budget deliverables by way of effective implementation.
"Absolutely, with continuous oversight on the part of institutions like the Audit Service Sierra Leone, the Parliament and the Anti-Corruption Commission, I am pretty sure we will have the desired effect," Hon. Kamara stated.
He said that the Parliamentary budgetary allocation is in no way a disappointment.
"We were not disappointed or dissatisfied with Parliament allocation, what we were expecting for today was the worst considering the Ebola background and its significant economic dent on the nation.
With an increment of nearly one billion Leones to Parliament's budget, I think it's a plus on the part of this government and we must congratulate the Minister of Finance for doing that," Hon. Alhassan Kamara highlighted and pointed out that as MPs, the onus is on their part to war against anti-budgetary and accountability attempts.
