Audits are the process the Commission employs to review brokerage files for accuracy and compliance with the requirements outlined in the Real Estate Trading Act, the NSREC Bylaw and the NSREC's record-keeping requirements.
The trust and brokerage audits are designed to identify areas where brokerages are (or are not) complying with the standards and procedures for trust accounts and record keeping and is one prominent method the NSREC uses to protect the public interest. Audits help the NSREC identify problem areas in the industry, which can then be addressed through industry-wide education and communication.
TYPES OF AUDITS & TIMELINES
Each brokerage in Nova Scotia receives an audit of their trust records annually and a full brokerage audit every three years, which includes an in-depth review of the brokerage's real estate trading records, brokerage and service agreements, trust and brokerage records, disclosures and team contracts, among other items (see Bylaw 621 for the full list). Brokerages are also subject to spot audits and additional as-required audits resulting from a change of broker or a brokerage closing.
Newly licensed, first-time broker applicants will have three audits conducted in the broker's first year of licensing, two of which must achieve a minimum of a 'good' rating. A fourth audit will be conducted in the first half of the broker's second year of licensing, which must also obtain a minimum of a 'good' rating. Should a broker fail to achieve the required minimum rating, they shall continue to be audited twice a year until such a time that, at minimum, a 'good' rating is achieved. These audits shall be at a cost to the broker.
All first-time brokers will be issued a conditional licence upon initially licensing until the time that they have completed their audit requirements. At that point, the condition on the licence will be removed.
AUDIT PROCESSES
A compliance auditor selects a sample of transaction files involving trust deposits. Contractual information concerning each deposit is compiled from the transaction files and used to test the brokerage's trust account procedures to ensure compliance with the Real Estate Trading Act and the NSREC Bylaw.
The audits also reviews the brokerage's overall trust account record-keeping processes ensuring it complies with record-keeping requirements. General observations of the trust records are made and monthly bank statements are reviewed for any sign of trust shortages or other discrepancies.
View a sample of the four record-keeping requirements here.
FULL BROKERAGE AUDIT
Full brokerage audits include both a trust account audit and the review of a sample of the brokerage's real estate trading records, brokerage and service agreements, trust and brokerage records, disclosures and team contracts, among other items (see Bylaw 621 for the full list). Transaction files are chosen at random and include trades carried out by each licensee of the brokerage.
CHANGE OF BROKER AUDIT
A change of broker audit occurs when the broker leaves their brokerage and is replaced. The audit covers the time period from the last audit to the date the broker's licence is terminated. The audit may take the same format as the trust account audit or the full brokerage audit, depending on the reason for the broker change.
BROKERAGE CLOSING AUDIT
A brokerage closing audit is conducted when a brokerage ceases operation, within 30 days of the brokerage licence being terminated. This audit takes the same format as the trust audit.

American Pharoah draws post No. 1 for Preakness Stakes Will there be a Triple Crown winner for the first time since 19787? Check out this story on USATODAY.com: http://usat.ly/1HhFbI9

USA TODAY Sports' Reid Cherner discusses which horses could win the Preakness Stakes.

If American Pharoah is going to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978, he'll have to buck some post position history and perhaps a tactical disadvantage in Saturday's Preakness Stakes.
After being assigned the No. 1 post at Wednesday's random draw — a spot only one of the last 54 Preakness winners has started from — it seems almost certain American Pharoah, the 4-5 morning line favorite, will have to use a different running style for the 1 3/16th-mile race than the Kentucky Derby, when he tracked Dortmund and Firing Line from the outside before sweeping past them in the stretch.
"I never like the 1 hole," trainer Bob Baffert, who has won the Preakness five times, said. "That's the first time I've ever drawn the rail here. I've been so lucky. You don't like to see it, but if he's the best horse we'll find out."
American Pharoah can answer some questions in Preakness Stakes
Nobody was happier about how the post positions shook out for the eight-horse field than Gary Stevens, who rode Firing Line to a second-place finish in Louisville and told owner Arnold Zetcher before the draw that he would prefer to start from the outside.
Stevens got his wish drawing the No. 8 hole but was even more pleased to see that American Pharoah and fellow Baffert trainee Dortmund, who drew the No. 2 post, will almost certainly have to use their early speed to avoid getting buried in traffic on the rail.
"It's a huge advantage," said Stevens, a three-time Preakness winner. "Having American Pharoah on the outside of me in the Derby, (jockey) Victor (Espinoza) had options and he took advantage of them. Hopefully I'll be able to take the same kind of advantage in this race. I'm going to sleep a lot easier tonight than had I drawn on the inside."
American Pharoah and Dortmund arrived at Pimlico a few hours earlier Wednesday after taking a charter flight from Louisville, Ky. Dortmund, 7-2 on the morning line after a third-place finish in the Derby, is trying to bounce back from his first career loss in seven races.
"They shipped well," Baffert said. "I was walking Pharaoh; he was dragging me around a little bit, so that's good, then he finally relaxed."
The field of eight runners is the smallest to enter the Preakness since 2000 when Fusaichi Pegasus was a big favorite coming off a resounding win in the Kentucky Derby. He finished second to Red Bullet, who bypassed the first leg of the Triple Crown.
The presence of the top three finishers from this year's Derby, plus fifth-place Danzig Moon, likely contributed to the smaller field.
"That's a high standard, and it probably put a few people off taking a shot," said Simon Callaghan, trainer of Firing Line.
Until Wednesday, it appeared only seven would enter because American Pharoah's owner, Ahmad Zayat, was strongly against running his other entry from the Derby, Mr. Z, after a 13th-place finish.
Six-time Preakness-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas, however, brokered a deal for the horse to be sold to Calumet Farm and entered him in the race. Mr. Z has won just one of 13 starts.
Several other Derby horses skipped the Preakness and will instead come back fresh for the Belmont on June 6.
Lukas said he did not think post position would be a major hindrance for American Pharoah.
"I think it's a challenge for him, but he's the best horse," Lukas said. "I don't care what gate you get, when you're the best horse you have to feel good. He'll be alright. He has good tactical speed and he's a very good horse. We could see history made."
Among the three Triple Crown newcomers, Divining Rod would appear to have the best chance of pulling an upset after winning the Grade 3 Coolmore Lexington Stakes on April 11. He was installed as a 12-1 longshot coming out of the No. 7 post position.
But most of the focus will be on the top three Derby finishers, who figure to run up front again and battle into the stretch.
"(Firing Line) was tough to get by, so he's going to be tough again," Baffert said. "There's a lot of quality there, a lot of class. He's a really good horse."
So has the Kentucky Derby winner. He previously won with Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998) and War Emblem (2002).

The Story of WWLR

Wells & Walsingham Railway
The longest 10¼" narrow gauge steam railway in the world was built by Lt.Cmdr Roy Francis. It began its service in 1982 and runs from Wells-Next-the-Sea along four miles of of Old Great Eastern track through lovely countryside to Walsingham. This is an insight into the passion and determination of one man to build his dream
The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway(or the WWLR as it is affectionately known) began operating in April 1982 and runs on the trackbed of the former Great Eastern Railway line from Wells to Fakenham.
The WWLR is the world's longest 10 ¼ gauge railway as well as Britain's smallest public railway

Almost every month of year this 10 ¼ gauge railway runs steam and diesel hauled services from the bustling coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea to the heart of the county's pilgrimage seat; Walsingham. Trains also stop on request at the picturesque villages of Warham and Wighton.

Passengers enjoy a gentle 4 mile ride, taking in an abundance of flora and fauna as well as views of the Iron Age fort at Warham and the big blue skies Norfolk is famed for.
The railway owes its existence to the late Lt. Cmdr. Roy Francis who, after a heroic career in the Royal Navy, dedicated his time and his money into bringing the forgotten line back to life. Lt. Cmdr. Francis, along with a small group of supporters, set to work and prepared the redundant trackbed, laid rail (some of which originates from the narrow gauge railways of The Somme) , cleared a cutting of three thousand tons of rubbish and obtained a Light Railway Order from the Department for Transport. After three solid years of hard work, heavy finance and determination, the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway welcomed its first passengers. Today, the WWLR remains in the hands of Lt. Cmdr. Francis' family
"Pilgrim", an 0-6-0 side tank engine, hauled the train until 1987 when the new unique 2-6-0 + 0-6-2 Garratt locomotive "Norfolk Hero" came into service.
"Norfolk Hero" was built in 1986 specially for the line, being joined by "Norfolk Heroine" in 2011.
Two extra coaches were added to the train increasing the seating capacity to 76.

"Norfolk Heroine" entered service in April 2011.
Our main station at Wells has a charming restored signal box where refreshments, gifts and souvenirs are available.
Regular steam trains from the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea run along 4 miles of track to the beautiful village of Walsingham with its famous shrines and Abbey. from the seaside and harbour town of Wells to the picturesque town of Walsingham, famed for centuries as a centre of pilgrimage. A scenic journey with five bridges through lovely countryside. Halts at Warham St Mary and Wighton. With the regular service you have ample time to explore Walsingham with its shops, restaurants and inns as well as the famous shrine before catching the train back.
It is a 30 minute trip each way through glorious North Norfolk countryside, clanking over and under bridges, past a hill-fort and an abandoned platform.
The Railway runs daily from March to October with special events during every school holiday plus Christmas Specials during December weekends.
The WWLR runs a number of additional themed events over the year, all of which are family friendly. Children especially love the free I-Spy events which are laid on over half term holidays. The Santa Specials in November and December are particularly popular and many families travel from afar for the festive welcome that awaits. The Station Café is open daily during the running season and offers hot and cold refreshments, gifts and souvenirs.
A great adventure for all the family in the delightful countryside of the North Norfolk coast.
Dogs travel for free and are most welcome if there is room. Mostly, dogs sit by their owners feet so we rarely have to ask dogs to run along beside the train!

ALEX McLEISH is convinced Manchester City are serious title contenders – especially with Mark Hughes as their boss.
The Birmingham gaffer goes into today's home clash with Hughes' high-flyers, singing the praises of their megabucks squad.
And he feels that with a coach of Hughes' talents running the ship, City have every chance to be at the very top come next May.
McLeish said: "Considering the quality of players at City, I'm not at all surprised how well they've started the season.
in good characters too. Guys who do it right and who want to win.
McLeish is equally impressed at the way Hughes is dealing with the massive pressure and expectation that comes with spending close to £200million in a single summer.
McLeish, known as Big Eck, reckons Hughes is as tough now as he was leading the Manchester United line in the 1980s and 1990s.
The ex-Scotland boss said: "I played against Mark a couple of times and he was ruthless as a player. He comes across that way.
Has a manager as well. He's a tough character and very much his own person. Yet, I'm sure he will have learnt a wee bit off Sir Alex Ferguson in this respect.
Not that McLeish is worried about that this afternoon when Birmingham look to secure back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Carson Yeung's Hong Kong consortium paid £86m for the Blues last month – and are promising to invest £80m on players over the next 12 months.
But that's nothing compared with the sort of sums blown by City since being taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group.
Hughes' men are considered the wealthiest outfit on the football planet.
Yet new Blues chairman Vico Hui last night claimed the Midlands club will have no problem competing with City off the pitch – once they tap into the enormous potential of China and its 1.3 billion people.
Hui boasted: "We have an advantage over Manchester City because we are Chinese people, we have very good connections there, China is a huge market.

Top 10 greatest robots in Sports [Updated in 2022]
The kind of robots that people encounter most frequently are the field robots that work in tedious, boring, and hazardous environments such as assembly lines, mines, agriculture fields, manufacturing, underwater, construction site, etc. But what about a robot that can excel in sports that pushes the boundary in artificial intelligence?
It turns out that it was the dream and the stated objective of a cadre of robotics experts convened in Nagoya, Japan, at the world's first Robotics Cup during the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in 1997. By 2050, they hope to create a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players that can win the World Cup team, complying with the official rules of FIFA.
It might seem like a fiction than a practical goal. But, the idea has been floating around the robotics community since Professor Alan Mackworth of the University of British Columbia first argued in this paper "On Seeing Robots" that building a robotic soccer team might solve several problems in modern robotics.
Mackworth and his team later went on to launch the Dynamo Project, the world's first attempt to create an autonomous robotic soccer team. They carried out a series of experiments from 1992 through 1994 at the UBC Laboratory for Computational Intelligence, using small scale radio-controlled trucks and cars to play robot soccer, and served as precursors to the RoboCup robot soccer competitions that started in 1997.
In RoboCup, the competing teams — usually from universities — create teams of autonomous and self-propelled to play soccer against each other. The creators cannot use remote controls to operate the robots. The contest includes several categories, including humanoid, four-legged, small, and middle-sized, and it has taken place in many different countries, including Japan and Germany. Let's now see the top 10 greatest robots in sport.
Football – RoboCup
As we have already seen in the introduction, RoboCup is an international research initiative since 1997. The competition aims, according to its website, to "promote robotics and AI research" using one of the world's most popular sports. But not all robot football matches. RoboCup has expanded to include rescue robots, home application robots, and unmanned aircraft operation. Even robotic referees.
Basketball – CUE
CUE is a basketball-playing robot built by Toyota engineers as a side project. The robot is 190 cm taller than the average NBA player. However, CUE can shoot 100% accuracy free throws –a figure that tops the current 77% NBA average. The robot itself is pretty basic. It can not pick up balls alone or move alone. Squat, aim, and throw, though. CUE practiced shooting 200,000 times, according to Japanese news organization Asahi Shimbun, using AI to hone its skills.
Skiing/Ice Hockey – Jennifer
Winter Olympics are not for talented athletes. It turns out robots can also participate. At the Welli Hilli ski resort in early 2018, an hour away from the main action in Pyeongchang, robots took part in what is believed to be the world's first robot skiing competition. South Korean government organized the event to promote its robotic advances. It saw eight teams competing for $10,000.
There were some basic rules: robots had to be humanoid (i.e. standing on two legs with joints resembling elbows and knees), measuring at least 50 cm tall, and using regular poles and skis. Embedded camera sensors were used to help each humanoid navigate the slopes, avoiding the flagpoles lining the course.
Gymnastics – Atlas
One thing is a robot that can walk, but how about one that can backflips? In this video, you can see the latest Atlas humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics that can not only hop, jump and spin, but also complete backflip before sticking the landing like a gymnast. Atlas can perform jumps, mid-air 180-degree direction changes, and back-flips at different heights with the takeoff and landing platforms.
Table tennis – FORPHEUS
Guinness World Records recently certified an advanced robot developed by Japanese electronics company Omron as the world's first robot table tennis tutor. FORPHEUS (Future Omron Robotics Technology for Exploring Possibility of Harmonized Automation with Sinic Theoretics) used machine learning to enhance a player's skills, adjust his game accordingly, and provide tips to help opponents improve their technique.
FORPHEUS is equipped with two ball movement vision sensors and one motion sensor monitoring the opponent's movement. A controller analyzes the ball's speed at a thousand times per second, allowing to predict where it will land and react accordingly. The AI component can also determine where FORPHEUS' return will land with an accuracy of 5 centimeters, and this is projected on a screen so that human "students" can prepare and improve their game.
Boxing – Robot Combat League
Robot Combat League (RCL) is a Syfy network television show about robot competitions. Teams use exosuits to control robots in the show. Each weekly show features8-foot, 1000-pound[1] humanoid robots controlled by human competitors, one robo-jockey and one robo-tech per team. The series features twelve teams from different backgrounds. Each team has a robot they control using an exo-suit that directs their movements. Each fight goes three rounds, and the winning team moves forward.[2] Twelve total robots. The robots range from an axis-headed, laser-eyed warrior to a plexiglass robot and roll cage. The robots and suits were created by robotics expert Mark Setrakian.
Robot Sumo
Sumo wrestling has been popular in Japan for centuries, and now robots enter the mix. There were numerous tournaments and competitions. Sumo robots are divided into size classes and further divided into remote-controlled, autonomous robots. These robots use sensors to find their opponent and try to stay within circle confines. They use every outflanking, pushing and scooping tactic. The robots are pretty small, but they're super fast and ultra aggressive.
Camel Race – Robot Jockeys
Robot jockey is a robot used in camel racing to replace human jockeys. Developed since 2004, robotic jockeys are slowly phasing out the use of human jockeys in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar for camel racing. The first successful official race with robotic jockeys was in Qatar in 2005. The robots are remote-controlled by operators driven alongside the SUV track.

A friend recently advised me to start using blush! I could not believe it - my cheeks were always so red that using blush was only an option AFTER using a concealer of some kind. With my sensitive skin that was never very appealing. But should I really start using blush?
It's the result of using Eucerin Redness Relief to good effect for almost a year now.
That friend saw me with the day foundation on, which is green, so it conceals the redness partially. Since then I've started using the foundation (they call it a daily perfection lotion) more specifically: covering up the places where I want to be less red, and leaving part of my cheeks untreated. That way the natural redness is seen only where I would have put blush.
Now I have to get used to having a face that is clear enough to start thinking about mascara and eye shadow. Used to be that the most important thing I thought about doing (never did - because I have sensitive skin) was covering up that redness. But recently I went to a wedding with eye shadow and mascara on - it felt great! I've not followed up yet on that friend's suggestion to start using blush, but maybe in future I will... on special occasions perhaps.
Any change in how we look has a psychological impact. Whether it's losing weight, getting rid of pimples or like me: getting rid of red cheeks.
Me now - redness under control!
Most people who have rosacea, like me, also have sensitive skin. As I said: this has prevented me from using makeup for most of my life.
One of the reasons I am recommending the Eucerin line here is because my skin didn't respond to it at all - in fact it got better from me using it.
Just use this like any other foundation: put it on, wash it off when you put something else on.
The night creme I simply put on at night. It gets washed off in the morning.
The day stuff is more a foundation: just put it on & wash off when going to bed, like any other foundation.
A light night cream that doesn't just treat my skin for Rosacea, it also makes it soft and more even. I haven't had pimples at all since I've used this.
It can also be used during the day, except it doesn't conceal the redness at all.
The day cream I use. I use it especially on sunny days, because sunlight increases the redness on my skin. In winter I usually just settle for the night cream.
What else can you do to reduce redness in the face?
You can do a lot actually. Most of these are what not to do. In taking care of yourself, your skin can get better too.
Avoid the sun or use heavy factor sunscreen. It isn't a good idea to avoid the sun totally. We all need vitamin D. Just don't sunbath for a long time and when you are out in the sun long, use a hat or something to protect the face.
Minimize caffeine intake (coffee, tea, some sodas: most herbal teas are alright).
Use products that work for your skin. We are all different.
There is no day creme, because, just as you say, it makes more sense to use the redness relief foundation that also has SPF 15 included.
Nope, they're both by Eucerin and they're both part of their redness relief line. The redness relief line consists of the night creme and the day foundation. The latter has SPF 15.
I mean, I see the night creme, and I'm assuming there's one for the day as well, but why would you use the latter as a foundation is the SPF 15 lotion works the same way (to give redness relief)?
So the Eucerin redness relief and the one with SPF 15 are two separate lotions?

Smoking Martha – "In Deep"
14th November 2018	0	By Gavin Griffiths
Australia has always had a pretty solid output when it comes to music on a global level; they cater for pretty much everyone, whether you prefer some AC/DC, or KYLIE MINOGUE or even a bit of ROLF HARRIS. But while these are now legendary/infamous in their respective fields, recent successes of the likes of PARKWAY DRIVE and TONIGHT ALIVE have kept Australia firmly on the map, so it's only natural that further artists emerge from the land down under. This brings us to SMOKING MARTHA…not to be confused with trendy new drugs like Spice, Martha (Consisting of vocalist Tasha D, guitarist Mick Broome, bassist Matty Mulheran and drummer Jordy Poynter) formed in Brisbane along the Gold Coast and have already established themselves as strong up-and-comers on the live circuit. 2018 sees them collaborate with Bad Reputation Records on an international release of their debut album "In Deep"…lets dive in.
We open up like Kim Jong-Il with "So Lonely" though while there are no puppets in sight here, the pacing does often come across as a little wooden. The initial sound of the guitar riffs has a certain WOLFMOTHER-inspired tone to it, but aside from a slightly bolder chorus, richer in melody and soaring vocals, it's quite safe and middle of the road. In terms of likeness, Tasha comes across as being somewhere between GWEN STEFANI and Chloe from SKARLETT RIOT, but the record doesn't quite get going just yet. Sadly though, it doesn't quite get going for the duration either…
Don't get me wrong there are moments of interest and enjoyment, in particular the albums highlight's "One Night" and "Follow"; the former is a shorter, sharp dose of gritty hard rock that takes advantage of Tasha's husky vocals layered over a pacey, up-tempo classic rock 'n' roll piece, while the latter opts instead for an almost TOOL-like sludgy riff approach; the brooding tone is well executed as it transitions into a deep, blues-rock inspired track. On the flip side then, "Baby Let Me Go" is a wonderfully sweet acoustic ballad, backed by soft string sections, allowing for Tasha's hushed vocal style to sound even more effective…she'd make a decent country singer truth be told.
Aside from that too much of the record falls short of the bands clear potential…"Say You're Mine", despite some solid riff work, as well as a wonderfully placed up-tempo hook leading towards the tracks climax never truly ignites, leaving the listener almost let down. Ironically Tasha repeats the line "I deserve more" and you can't help but agree. We do Tasha, we do! The same can be said for tracks elsewhere…"Find A Way" chugs along with about as much fluidity as Theresa May trying to dance without appearing like she was built by Skynet to fuck the future up, before closing track "Stranger Things" suffers from a case of the upside down; a flat and repetitive chorus despite its strong build up spoiling proceedings. Ironically again, lyrics of fighting to be relevant aren't backed up by the very song they're in.
If there's one appealing factor to salvage this fresh release is that is also contains five bonus tracks, which are demo versions of the bands 2014 self-titled EP and truth be told, here they sound all the more impressive! More rough around the edges and with a bit more bite; the raw rock appeal is something that clearly benefits them as a band musically and ideally it's something they should try to harness more going forward. Don't get me wrong the band sound great AS A BAND, but this album doesn't hit a home run. They may be smoking by name but in this instance the fire wasn't properly lit heading into the studio.

Anti-Abortion Congressman Resigns After Abortion Scandal
By Lisa Ryan@lisarya
Rep. Tim Murphy. Photo: Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call,Inc.
Just one day after announcing he would retire in 2018, Representative Tim Murphy resigned from Congress on Thursday, Politico reports. The congressman has been embroiled in controversy since the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette revealed earlier in the week that he had urged his mistress to get an abortion — despite his anti-abortion stance.
"This afternoon I received a letter of resignation from Congressman Tim Murphy, effective October 21," Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement, per Politico. "It was Dr. Murphy's decision to move on to the next chapter of his life, and I support it."
On Tuesday, the Post-Gazette reported that Murphy, a 64-year-old congressman from Pennsylvania, had pressured his mistress, 32-year-old forensic psychologist Shannon Edwards, to get an abortion during a pregnancy scare. The congressman had been publicly vehemently anti-abortion: He's a member of the House Pro-Life Caucus, co-sponsored the 20-week abortion ban passed by the house earlier this week, and has been endorsed by the anti-abortion group LifePAC.
The revelation, which the Post-Gazette learned through documents obtained during Edwards's divorce proceedings, highlighted the politician's hypocrisy about reproductive rights.
Shortly after the news broke, Murphy announced on Wednesday that he would not seek reelection after his current term ended in 2018. "In the coming weeks I will take personal time to seek help as my family and I continue to work through our personal difficulties and seek healing. I ask you to respect our privacy during this time," he wrote. However, the congressman instead ended up handing in his resignation on Thursday.

The Rumpler C.VII was a military reconnaissance aircraft built in Germany during World War I. It was developed from the C.IV and optimised for high-altitude missions that would allow it to operate at heights that would render it immune to interception by enemy fighters. Work on the C.VII took place after a similar attempt to develop the C.III into a high-altitude machine as the C.V failed.

Design and development
The most significant difference between the C.IV and C.VII was the choice of the Maybach Mb IVa engine to replace the Mercedes D.IV. Although the Maybach engine was around 8% less powerful than the Mercedes (when measured at the sea level), it could continue to provide most of its power output while at altitude, where power from the Mercedes engine decreased more rapidly as height increased. Other changes included wings of slightly greater area and an airscrew of larger diameter. The crew were provided with oxygen generators and electrically-heated flight suits.

Rumpler produced the C.VII in two versions: a standard radio-equipped reconnaissance machine, and a photographic version named the Rubild (or Rubilt) a contraction of Rumpler Bildaufklärer (photo reconnaissance).

Operational history
The two versions of the Rumpler C.VII were in service simultaneously. The standard C.VII was used for armed long-distance reconnaissance. The armament was one fixed, synchronized LMG 08/15 Spandau machine gun firing forward, and one manually operated 7.92 mm (.312 in) Parabellum MG14 machine gun at the observer/gunner's rear position (the observer also operated a radio). The Rubild was a "stripped-down" version that dispensed with the forward gun and eliminated all other extraneous equipment in order to carry specialized cameras.

The Rubild was capable of operating as high as 7,300 m (24,000 ft), and could maintain 160 km/h (100 mph) at 6,100 m (20,000 ft). The high-altitude version proved practically invulnerable to interception above 5,500 m (18,000 ft).
Allied combat reports most often featured the high-flying Rubild. The type was particularly difficult to intercept, as the Allied fighters were seldom able even to climb to such altitude.  According to noted ace James McCudden, "It was an exception to the rule to see an [ S.E.5 ] above 17,000 feet." One of the few Allied fighters able to reach such altitudes, and hence capable of intercepting the Rubild, was the Sopwith Dolphin.

At the end of the war, at least one Rumpler C.VII was captured and sent to the United States.

Monday April 16, a young wolf was shot and killed near Ulfborg in Western Jutland. That same day, a new association against wolves was founded in the same area.
Now, weeks later the autopsy has given proof of the wolf was female, one year old and born in Denmark.
The wolf was shot from a car driving by, and by a strange coincidence two "wolf watchers" happened to be right at the spot filming it all.
The shooter is related to the guy driving the tractor, who also happened to be an aspiring politician who's key issue was the wolf problem. His candidacy for the parliament has been withdrawn with immediate effect, even though he has clearly stated he had no knowledge of the shooting before or happened.
What wonders me, is the wolf and the wolves did not seem shy at all. I now understand why people are afraid of the wolf when you can't scare them off.

WELCOME TO VERSATILE TRACTORS NEW ZEALAND
4WD Tractors
Delta Track
In 1966, Versatile was the first company to mass-produce articulated four-wheel drive tractors. Five decades later Versatile tractors are known around the world for reliability, durability and ease of service and maintenance. The modern era of Versatile tractors upholds the reputation of longevity while maximizing functionality and operator convenience. Pairing the industry-renowned engine and transmission combination with the proven outboard planetary system and largest cab in the segment has created one of the best tractors in the field today. The Versatile Legendary Limited Edition features historic red and yellow paint, special decals and pays tribute to 50 years of continuous four-wheel drive tractor production.
In New Zealand Versatile Tractors are supported by Power Farming
The origins of Power Farming Holdings Limited can be traced back to Maber Motors, a small one man operation established by Laurie Maber in 1946 to sell and service tractors and implements to the local farming community in Morrinsville, New Zealand. Over the years Maber Motors expanded to three retail branches, thanks largely to Laurie's unfaltering commitment to service and backup. This was very much a family business, and Laurie's son Geoff joined Maber Motors soon after leaving school.
In 1977, Maber Motors secured the rights to distribute Iseki tractors in New Zealand, and Geoff eventually formed a separate wholesale company to fully develop this new opportunity. The new company was named Power Farming Wholesale.
Power Farming Wholesale grew at a fantastic pace. In 1981, the company was appointed Iseki distributor for Australasia, and over the next two decades gradually built a stable of high quality tractor and machinery franchises from around the world.
22 Power Farming dealers throughout New Zealand now stock and support Versatile tractors, and they're backed up by specialist Versatile staff (sales, service, parts, logistics) at Power Farming Wholesale.

Tweety? Skidmark? Smallhand?
You may have noticed references in this blog to the grotesque-elect, nightmare-in-chief, King Boor, and other euphemisms for an obscenity I will not mention (though none of my names, I freely admit, are as witty as alternatives all over the Internet such as Hair Fuhrer and Cheeto Benito). But I've been struck by a twist on the topic: What is his Secret Service code name going to be? Potus the Clown? Con Man? Liar? Disgrace? 666?
You have to imagine something that can be spoken quickly, so two or three syllables seem the limit rather than the long strings of abuse — Sexual Assaulter, Sociopath, Human Sinkhole — I usually say. So far I have three favorites:
3. Third Base
2. Runner-up
1. Comrade
Suggestions are encouraged in the comments.
There's a new sheriff in clown
Now that Arizona birther scum and publicity hound Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been unseated and stepped down, another sheriff is bidding to replace him here, of all places, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson has offered the grotesque-elect the use of county inmates to help build the orange one's border wall with Mexico.
"I can think of no other project that would have such a positive impact on our inmates and our country than building this wall," the Republican lawman said last night after being sworn in for his fourth term. "Aside from learning and perfecting construction skills, the symbolism of these inmates building a wall to prevent crime in communities around the country, and to preserve jobs and work opportunities for them and other Americans upon release, can be very powerful."
Reaction tended toward the droll, with a spokesperson for U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III asking why the wall would require forced labor — "Isn't Mexico going to pay for it?" — and Governor Charlie Baker's office saying that his administration "is thankful for the valuable community service inmates in Bristol County have provided through work programs and would prefer they continue to offer those services closer to home." The xenophobic sheriff did not address how the wall or the transporting and housing of inmates would be financed, though he did suggest getting in touch with the Israelis because they've had lots of experience protecting their borders.

Andy Michaels mixes genres for 'Revisited'
Rob Perez | April 25, 2018 | Album Reviews
The album is a mixture of pop, R&B and a bit of rock
What you have in Andy Michaels' new album Revisited is a musical stew of genres that make up this wonderful adult contemporary album. Pop, R&B, a little bit of rock all come together along with his soothing vocals on these thirteen excellent tracks.
Before we go on, if adult contemporary makes you think of lite FM radio stuff, then you're exactly right and likely won't be your thing. Yet we were surprised by just how good the sound is on Revisited. Not to say there aren't a few legitimate critiques but, we'll overlooked them as Revisited is mostly a solid album.
"Lucretia's Eyland" and "Just Because You Love" are two examples of what are must listen to tracks, while "I'll Be Alright" is another great effort, a track full of folksy feels that remind you of a different, simpler era.
Revisited won't be everyone's bag but it's good enough to recommend to any real music lover.

On top of perhaps the world's most iconic New York skyscraper, you'll get the view of views. There are observatories on the 86th floor (main deck) and the 102nd floor (top deck). To avoid the lines, pay for an Express Pass. Buy tickets from salesmen in yellow or green jackets outside the building or online.
Go 104 floors to reach the top of the tallest skyscraper in the Western hemisphere where you'll get panoramic views – as long as it's not cloudy. On the way up, elevators clad in high res screens will show you how NYC went from fields to a small village to the metropolis it is today. Buy tickets online to save time.
For views of a more bucolic nature, position yourself inside the middle of Central Park. This castle, designed by one of the park's famous architects, has two balconies providing views of the reservoir, the south lawns and beyond. You can borrow binoculars from the nature observatory located inside the castle.
Outside The Ides Bar on the 6th floor of the hotel is a wrap-around deck, allowing a lookout in four directions. More of a vista than a nestled-in view, it has a true calming effect, even though it's not that high. Watching the sun go down is popular here, so plan to go early.
Let's face it: you're going to end up on Times Square some time during your stay in New York, so you might as well make a point to visit NYC's only revolving restaurant and lounge. Take the high-tech elevators up to the 47th and 48th floors and enjoy one 360° view rotation per hour – eat slowly.


Its a bright and shiny day in kiru city. Ian is walking around the city having flashbacks to when he was a kid running around with his friends. Funny looking around he seeing some familiar faces he saw when he was little.
"Hmm I wonder if that creepy alley is still here." Ian starts getting excited to face a childhood nightmare. He starts walking along the streets to find an dark alley as if it was night time in there, full of dump, and the smell would burn Ian's nose.
"Ugh okay let's just get this over with before I change my mind" Ian quitetly tells himself as he starts walking in.


Watch Dogs is definitely one of the most anticipated games of the year, and developer Ubisoft has released a trailer that showcases all of the goodies that fans will be able to get with the game's season pass.

It had been previously reported that Watch Dogs will have exclusive content on its PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 3 versions. Now, Ubisoft has revealed a trailer that shows off just what the PlayStation versions will offer that the others wont.
The video shows that the PlayStation versions will have 4 exclusive missions, which include protagonist Aiden working with hacker group DedSec. Ubisoft claims these missions will last about an hour. Upon completion of these missions, players will receive bonus tech points and a white hacker outfit.
Check out the exclusive PlayStation content below!
Even though it isn't a *ton* of exclusive content, this definitely gives PlayStation the edge on which version is the best. This seems to be a trend lately with cross-platform games come to PlayStation. I was planning on playing it on PS4, anyways, due to the genre of the game.

Watch Dogs releases in just a few flippin' months, and now the game's creative director Jonathan Morin took to twitter and revealed just how long gamers will be sinking their teeth into the game.

The highly-anticipated open-world action adventure game Watch Dogs is set to come out this spring on all current home consoles, but for a while we did not know whether the Wii U version was coming out at all. Games of this type tend to not sell as well on Nintendo's systems, due to a smaller fan-base and the Wii U's typically more family-friendly software.
