ACT Policing has charged a 36-year-old man of no fixed abode following a burglary at a Braddon night club early this morning (July 28).
About 4.55am, police received a report from a staff member that a person was attempting to break into the Knightsbridge Penthouse night club through a rear window.
Police arrived at the location within minutes and commenced a search of the building. Police located a man wearing dark clothing and a black paintball mask, hiding in a storage shed in the rear courtyard. He was in possession of cutting tools, gloves and a torch.
About 5am, police arrested the 36-year-old man of no fixed abode. He was subsequently conveyed to the ACT Watch House and charged with burglary. He will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning.
Police are urging anyone who may have any information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.


This recipe for breakfast cookies is made with coconut oil and almond flour. Add in dried cherries & pecans for a tasty way to start your day.
I have never baked with coconut oil. So when a fellow blogging friend shared her recipe on Instagram, for a blueberry pie with a coconut oil crust, I was intrigued.
I thought it would be fun to make a healthy cookie that you could eat for breakfast on the go.
I used coconut oil, dried cherries, pecans and oats. And, I tried using almond flour for the first time, making the cookie gluten free.
Update: This recipe contains oats. I found out from a friend who has coeliac disease that oats in general are not gluten free. She states that there are some oats that are gluten free on the market. However, you could easily remove the oats from the recipe and the cookie would still taste great.
They were absolutely delicious! They reminded me of my pumpkin spice cookies, dense and chewy.
They were a little flimsy and flat. I also tried making them into little loaves but they didn't hold up as well. The second time around I added an additional 1/2 cup of the almond flour (reflected in the recipe below).
As you can see they look great. They are still chewy but not as flat as the previous batch and they and hold together well.
If you want to try Diane's (Homemade Food Junkie) blueberry pie with coconut oil, you can find it here.
In a mixing bowl combine brown sugar and coconut oil. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
Add the remaining flour, mix well.
Fold in cherries, pecans and oats.
Cook at 350 degree for 8 mins. I like to bake them for 4 minutes and then have the cookie sheets trade racks for another 4 mins.
Cool on baking racks and serve or keep in an airtight container.
You can make small loaves instead of cookies. In this case you may need to increase the cooking time for the loaf to cook all the way through.
when do you add the set aside flour, baking sod and salt ?
Oops! Sorry Ida. The flour mixture goes in after the vanilla and before the cherries and nuts. Thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the recipe to reflect the mistake.
Yum! Try oat flour you won't want to bake with anything else it's so amazing and it equals out to wheat flour so you can substitute with almost any recipe. I use it in cookies, sweet breads and cookie bars. Coconut oil is great been using that for awhile in my baking and it just makes everything so nice and moist.
Thanks Carole. I'll definitely try it!
Do you think chocolate chips can be added to these cookies?
Sure. In fact I was just talking about that idea with my husband.


Most attendees will leave a conference with a handful of new contacts, some swag, a few empty promises and the latest flu or cold that's going around.
A lucky few will also take home a solution to a pressing problem, as massAV Director of Operations Aaron Raymond did at one InfoComm after he approached the FiberPlex stand to discuss options for easily getting 3G video signals and network control from a ground control center to multiple, redundant projectors mounted on trusses.
The use of fiber optic communications was already a given for the event production company in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, massAV is a longtime user of FiberPlex's fiber technology, including the WDM optical multiplexer to multiplex onto existing fiber for transporting video, audio, lighting and control feeds. Standardized on quad fiber for most of its systems, the company now needed an electronics box for terminating the strands of fiber cable that ran from a central control to the bank of projectors mounted high overhead on trusses.
"We'd hand built something in the past, but these were four to six space racks that we couldn't easily strap onto trusses. I talked to Kyle and Buddy (at FiberPlex) during InfoComm, and they thought they could modify one of their rackmount units to work," says Raymond.
FiberPlex was able to come up with a solution based on its popular 6-position TDP rack unit. The result is TTM, which provides connection, power and cable management for up to 6 front-facing TD modules in a compact, rugged truss mountable frame. TD modules each house interchangable SFP/SFP+ modules for interfacing to a variety of gear and environments, including converting between media formats SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and 6G-SDI and for HDMI/DVI, 10/100/1G Ethernet and MADI, as well as full duplex and BiDi optical.
massAV has standardized on fiber communications for most of its large venue systems and collaborated with FiberPlex reps in the past. As a result, the production company has been able to replace 2,000 pounds of copper cabling with a 25-pound spool of fiber optics for large events, a savings that is realized by its corporate and other live event customers in reduced labor, setup time and transportation costs to truck in and set up copper.
Look for FiberPlex at future conferences.
PYROCOAT® K Optical Fiber withstands short excursions at high temperatures.


With other experienced mentors like Martin Walfisz, Tom Kealey, Martin Rosenqvist and Michael Tiberg present, it is an open event by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. A very nice initiative according to us!
Foo Café is found at Media Evolution City Malmö, at Stora Varvsgatan 6a.

Common Legal Misconceptions Held by Construction Industry Participants
Misconception 1: there are multiple separate holdbacks
Contractors, subcontractors, and consultants often enquire which holdback to pursue if their accounts go unpaid. Many take literally the reference established by the British Columbia Builders Lien Act ("BLA") "multiple holdback system".
In fact, the only actual retention of holdback funds takes place at the top of the construction contract pyramid. The "holdback" occurring at each lower contractual level is not the actual retention of further funds, but recognition that a party who has received payment net of holdback should be relieved of any obligation to pay amounts which have not been paid to it.
The single actual holdback arrangement is reflected in Section 5 of the BLA, which requires that only the owner of a construction project establish a holdback account into which the minimum holdback monies are to be deposited:
Holdback account
5(1) Subject to subsection (8), an owner must
(a) establish at a savings institution a holdback account for each contract under which a lien may arise,
(b) pay into the holdback account the amount the owner is required to retain under section 4, and
(c) administer the holdback account together with the contractor from whom the holdback was retained.
Section 5 does not mean that a separate holdback account must be established for money held back from a subcontractor by a general contractor or from a sub-subcontractor by a subcontractor.
In summary, there is only one actual holdback of funds, holdback which should be retained by the owner with respect to a head contract. There exists one important caveat. If the owner entered into more than one head contract, the owner must retain holdback funds on account of each head contract and establish a separate holdback account for each head contract. General contractors, subcontractors, or other down-the-ladder participants are not required to establish holdback accounts or otherwise set aside additional funds to account for the holdback deducted on payments. This reflects the intention that holdbacks secure, but not cumulatively choke off, payment.
Misconception 2: an owner must pay out the holdback money after the expiry of the holdback period
Subsection 8(4) of the BLA uses discretionary language with respect to the payment out of holdback money:
Holdback period
8 […]
(4) Payment of a holdback required to be retained under section 4 may be made after expiry of the holdback period, and all liens of the person to whom the holdback is paid, and of any person engaged by or under the person to whom the holdback is paid, are then discharged unless in the meantime a claim of lien is filed by one of those persons or proceedings are commenced to enforce a lien against the holdback.
The drafters of the BLA were not concerned with what happens to holdback money after the expiry of the holdback period in the absence of lien claims. The BLA only concerns itself with the retention of holdback money. Of course, Subsection 6(1) of the BLA specifically addresses how and when holdback funds may be applied with respect to the completion of a contract or subcontract:
Prohibited application of holdback
6(1) If a contractor or subcontractor defaults under a contract or subcontract, the required holdback must not be applied to the completion of the contract or subcontract, or for the payment of damages, or for any other purpose until the possibility of any lien arising under the person in default is exhausted.
Once the 55-day holdback period has expired, the holdback money simply reverts to being contract funds and subject to the contractual equities affecting payment.
In such circumstances, and subject to potential section 6 considerations, an owner or other person holding back money pursuant to the BLA has a general common law right to set off against the holdback owed to a party below them in the contractual chain. While common industry practice is to hold back twice the estimated value of deficiencies, in the absence of contractual provisions dealing with set-off valuation, it remains unclear whether a party enjoys a legal entitlement to do so.
Parties to a construction agreement are therefore well advised to review whether express provisions in their respective contracting agreements deal with the payout procedure for holdback money after the expiry of the holdback period. Should no such provision exist, then the party retaining the holdback is required to pay out the holdback money, subject only to its common law right to set off on account of deficiencies or incomplete work, since it is money due and owing to the party who it engaged under the construction agreement.
Misconception 3: the owner unilaterally issues a certificate of completion
Contractors and subcontractors are often under the mistaken impression that an owner must issue a certificate of completion without being requested to do so. This is not the law in British Columbia. The BLA expressly requires that a certificate of completion be requested, otherwise the owner is under no obligation to issue a certificate of completion. Subsection 7(3) of the BLA states as follows:
7(1) In this section, "payment certifier" means […]
(3) On the request of a contractor or subcontractor, the payment certifier must, within 10 days after the date of the request, determine whether the contract or subcontract has been completed and, if the payment certifier determines that it has been completed, the payment certifier must issue a certificate of completion.
The BLA language is clear. If a party to a construction contract wishes to have a certificate of completion issued with respect to its contract, then it must request a certificate of completion from the owner or the party with whom it contracted. An owner or contractor is under no obligation to issue a certificate of completion if no request is made for one.
A more nuanced issue may arise thanks to our progressive holdback release system. Under this system, a subcontractor or sub-subcontractor may apply to the payment certifier to have its holdback released prior to the head contract or improvement being certified or in fact complete. Section 9(1) of the BLA sets out the procedure for the progressive release of holdback:
Rights on payment of holdback
9(1) A contractor is entitled to receive, from the holdback retained by the owner from the contractor, an amount equal to the holdback amount applicable to a subcontract if
(a) a certificate of completion has been issued in respect of the subcontract to which the contractor was a party, and
(b) the holdback period established under section 8 (1) has expired without any claims of lien being filed that arose under the subcontract.
Assuming that the construction contract does not nominate a "payment certifier", a sub-subcontractor may request a certificate of completion from the owner and/or the contractor:
7(1) In this section, "payment certifier" means
(a) an architect, engineer or other person identified in the contract or subcontract as the person responsible for payment certification, or
(b) if there is no person as described in paragraph (a),
(i) the owner acting alone in respect of amounts due to the contractor, or
(ii) the owner and the contractor acting together in respect of amounts due to any subcontractor.
In practice however, sub-subcontractors often request certificates of completion from the party who engaged them, namely the respective subcontractor. In light of the inherent risk of having its certificate of completion request not passed up the contractual chain, it is well-advised for a sub-subcontractor to make its certificate of completion request directly to the owner and the head contractor, and not to the party who engaged it (the subcontractor).
We encourage construction industry participants to seek timely advice from legal counsel with respect to builders liens issues, especially if you are looking to improve your company's accounts receivables turnover ratio or suspect that you may not receive timely payment.

MP Shinde said that the facelift will be carried out in and around the temple in two phases: A sum of Rs 20 crore will be spent in the first phase, while the remaining amount Rs 23 crore will be used in the second phase.
By Mumbai Live Team Culture
Kalyan MP Dr Shrikant Shinde on Friday, December 4, announced that the Maharashtra government has sancitioned ₹43 crore for the beautification and restoration of 1000-year old Shiv Temple in Thane district's Ambernath.
MP Shinde said that the facelift will be carried out in and around the temple in two phases: A sum of ₹20 crore will be spent in the first phase, while the remaining amount ₹23 crore will be used in the second phase.
The revamp will see a new amphitheatre, parking space, children's play area, garden, market and bus stop, among others around the ancient temple.
Taking it to Twitter, Shrikant Shinde thanked the Urban development and Thane guardian minister Eknath Shinde for sanctioning the funds.
"A fund of ₹43 crore has been sanctioned for the development of the ancient Shiva temple and its surroundings in Ambernath city. Thanks to Guardian Minister Eknath Shinde for sanctioning the funds," he tweeted.
According to reports, the first phase will mainly focus on the entrance, bus stop, flower market, 'Jantar Mantar' garden, a huge parking lot, two new tensile suspended bridges, Waldhuni river conservation programme, renovation of the age-old pool and amphitheatre.
On the other hand, the second phase will focus on the beautification of the Waldhuni river bank, construction of ghats on the river, a new exhibition area, concrete roads, tensile roof, aquarium and museum, among others.
Apart from that, a fund of ₹8 crore has been earmarked for an exhibition area to showcase the temple relics.
He also thanked other Shiv Sena leaders including Arvind Walekar, MLA Balaji Kinikar, Sunil Choudhary and the citizens of Ambernath for their support and contributions.

Q: How to connect JDBC connectivity to Hbase using JMeter? How to connect JDBC connectivity to Hbase using JMeter?
Please help here and share some links and drivers so that I can refer them.
Thanks in Advance.

A: If this is something you really want there is Apache Phoenix project, given you have the driver under JMeter Classpath you should be able to use org.apache.phoenix.jdbc.PhoenixDriver class and URL like jdbc:phoenix:server1,server2:3333
However it might be easier to go for Hadoop/HBase plugin which provides:

*

*HBase Scan Sampler

*HBase Rowkey Sampler

*and HBase CRUD Sampler
the plugin can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager

Treatment Philosophy - Miriam Schroeder, MD - Private Practice Psychiatrist in St. Louis, MO - Miriam Schroeder, M.D.
While psychiatrists are often primarily associated with the use of medication for the treatment of mental disorders, Dr. Schroeder firmly believes that optimal mental health treatment almost never consists of medication alone. Our life struggles and internal reactions and conflicts are much more complex than something that can be addressed by simply taking a pill. Even in those situations where the use of medication is essential, optimal treatment includes a strong working alliance with an empathic and caring provider who takes the time to get to know you, understand you as the unique individual that you are, and help you discover things about yourself that you might not have realized previously. For this reason, an initial visit with Dr. Schroeder lasts for approximately 60 minutes, and all standard follow-up appointments are scheduled for a full 40 minutes. Dr. Schroeder believes there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach when it comes to addressing mental health and well-being, and thus she will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best fits your individual preferences and needs.
While medication may be a necessary component in the successful treatment of the most severe conditions, in other situations medication may be less essential or even inappropriate. Regardless of whether or not you receive medication, the optimal approach to your mental health and well-being requires an integrated consideration of you as a whole being, which often includes a collaborative exploration of your inner life. For this reason psychiatrists are trained in psychotherapy, also known as "talk therapy." Dr. Schroeder takes a flexible approach to psychotherapeutic encounters, incorporating techniques from a variety of therapeutic orientations in order to provide the personalized treatment that best meets your individual needs. Dr. Schroeder's work with you may include techniques drawn from one or more of the following therapeutic traditions: Supportive Psychotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Rogerian Psychotherapy (aka Humanistic, or Client-Centered Psychotherapy), Mindfulness, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy (DBT), and holistic mind-body approaches such as those promoted by the Anthropedia Foundation.
Some patients may prefer to see a separate psychotherapist, either for economic reasons, or because they already have an established psychotherapeutic relationship with a separate provider. Such patients may consider Dr. Schroeder's role in their care to be primarily one of "medication management." Again, Dr. Schroeder is committed to finding the approach that best works for you. Even if you do not consider her to be your primary psychotherapist, your 40-minute appointments will ensure adequate time to address your individualized needs, and you will find that your work together does take on its own therapeutic quality. If you would like, Dr. Schroeder is also happy to collaborate and coordinate care with your primary psychotherapist, primary care physician, or any other providers involved in your care.


The Royal Parks Half Marathon has a very special place in my racing calendar. I first ran this splendid event in 2016 as a 1:45 pacer, and was fortunate enough to obtain a ballot place in 2017. I was pretty unwell last year, but vowed to complete the race, doing so in a pretty disappointing time of 1:39. As a result, I really felt that I had unfinished business with this race. As luck would have it, I managed to obtain yet another ballot place for 2018! I had a rough start to the year, but managed to get things under control and got my running back to some normality by July, running a 5k in sub-18 and 10k in sub-38 later in the summer. Longer distances were/are still not up to scratch, and although my race times for shorter distances are back to normal, my legs aren't feeling great running past 12k. I knew a PB was not on the cards (<1:23) so decided that I would go out and run at <1:30 pace and see how long the legs could hold-up for.
I took the 7:30am train from Woodford and arrived at Knightsbridge at around 8:25am. Just before we got out from the station we could see that it was absolutely pouring down! I got out my brolly, and Sania and I began to walk to Hyde Park. Sania asked me if I still wanted to run. It's not about being a quitter, but practicality and sensibility in my case- being on 3 types of immunosuppressants, catching a 'cold' could lead to a big UC flare-up. But I was insistent that I'd be okay having come this far since last year.
I tried to engage in a warm-up, but the park was so crowded this was neigh impossible, and I only managed 400m of shuffling between people. I made my way into the start funnel shortly before 9am, just as it started to rain down again, and managed to get closer to the front. We started promptly at 9am- here is how the race went.
Kilometre 1: I felt absolutely great! The legs were springy, and the pace felt a lot slower than it was. I saw my pace was ~3:48/km which was quite a bit faster than the sub 1:30 goal pace I had in mind. Even though I felt strong, I obviously didn't want to blow my engine later, so dropped the pace down.
Kilometres 2-4: My quads started to feel a little tight, and I knew that this was due to a poor warm-up. I started to feel concerned that they may cramp-up later, so after the first water station on Whitehall (just before the 5k mark), I pulled over and had a quick stretch. By this point it was raining hard again.
Kilometres 5-7: I felt pretty good for this part, even though it was raining down now. I saw Jamie Xavier give me a shout-out around here as well which lifted my spirits.
Kilometres 7-8: I once again had to pull over at around the 7k point, and have a quick stretch out again. Not ideal, but this could have saved me some agony later. I passed the 5 mile water station located on The Mall and felt good.
Kilometres 8-10: Running up Constitutional Hill and knowing I would be soon entering Hyde Park. There is a very slight incline here, but I felt okay.
Kilometres 10-12: I entered Hyde Park and was greeted by the cheers of spectators. This is where Royal Parks truly shines, in the second half! I felt a bit of planter fasciitis on my left foot at this point, but from experience knew that it may go away. The next kilometre was spent with a slight modification to my gait to accommodate this, and fortunately, this passed.
Kilometres 12-16: These miles did not feel great, but the crowd support really helped. I felt okay, but the legs just started to feel a little heavy.
Kilometre 16: I checked my watch and saw that I was still on for a sub 1:30, with a slight cushion. Okay, just one more parkrun to go, I thought!
Kilometres 16-18: When I got going in Kensington Gardens, Tim (a fellow ELR) crept on up me and said hello. I had not met Tim before and it was a pleasure to have a quick chat and run together for a bit.
Kilometres 19-20: My legs felt okay, and I knew by this point that I could pick up the pace a little, which I did. Cardio felt absolutely fine. I was at a very conversational pace, and things felt rather 'easy'. It was purely my legs which I was concerned about, having not done many long runs.
Kilometre 20: I knew that I was home-free now. I really enjoyed running down the final stretch of South Carriage Drive. I could almost visualise the juxtaposition from last year, when I was limping at this point.
Kilometre 21: I powered through and gave a strong finish with 200m to go. It felt great to cross the finish line, and I saw the time on my watch/the board was well under 1:30 (1:28:45 chip time). Job done!
So this wasn't my best HM for a time. My PB is 1:23:14, but this is still my quickest half in >3 years. Albeit I have only run 3 HM races since then, none of which I've done any preparation for. I then went and collected some goodies before meeting Sania. I changed into some dry clothes and we then walked to Patisserie Valerie in Knightsbridge for some well deserved coffee/brunch, along with a quick trip to check out the Christmas store at Harrods before heading home.

The Portland, Oregon crew over at Icon 1000 wanted to use the bike to pay tribute to vintage road racers, which is probably why they decided upon a Verdoro Green paint job, used previously by General Motors in the 1960s. It also features a fresh set of brakes from EBC and a single-sided suspension with a single Nitron shock. And, of course, it wouldn't be a vintage tribute without a set of Avon tires wrapped around a pair of '70s style Kawasaki KZ1000 rims. The tank was also modded out to make room for the exhaust that now runs atop the engine and the headlight is an old fog light that used to run on Northwest logging trucks. The end result is a cafe racer that's streamlined in appearance and vintage enough to please a wide array of motorcycle fanatics, us included.

Bet On Your Baby Is a Real TV Show and It's Insane
Kelly Faircloth
Filed to: babiesFiled to: babies
bet on your baby
melissa peterman
Attention, America: There is a very real network TV show called "Bet on Your Baby," where parents bet on what their babies will do. On television. For money. It's like one of Jack Donaghy's ideas escaped into the wild and began breeding with the late-afternoon lineup.
The idea is simple. So, so simple. Parents bring their toddlers onto the show, and the toddlers complete tasks like carrying a cup of water through an obstacle without spilling, or unrolling a roll of toilet paper within 90 seconds. One parent accompanies the child; the other stays behind and bets on what their child can/will do. Each of the families is competing for the chance at a "college fund" worth as much as $50,000, so that's how the student loan crisis is going, in case you were wondering.
Apologies to anyone disappointed that the show is not literally a baby battle royal, where chubby babies still struggling with motor skills grapple helplessly with one another.
It's basically "The Newlywed Game," but with babies. Adding those babies, though—it changes everything! I can't even bring myself to call this dumb. It's maybe even a little bit genius? "People love game shows. People love babies. How about a baby game show?" — some mid-level ABC exec whose well of fucks has long since run dry. It's like something from the wacky early days of television. Next up, it's What's My Line, then Bet on Your Baby, then I Love Lucy, then you stumble to your twin beds in a cocktail haze.
And please note that this show has been successful enough it's on its second season!
This show first came to my attention when host Melissa Peterman appeared as a judge on Miss America. Best known for her role in Reba, she currently appears in ABC Family's Baby Daddy. And she's actually pretty amazing on "Bet on Your Baby," because you can practically hear the cash-register noises ringing in her head as she delivers lines such as:
"Are you ready to... BET ON YOUR BABY?"
"Welcome back to ABC's Bet on Your Baby, where we've got little kids, big money, and a few diaper changes in between."
"If there are two things America loves most, it's babies and pets. And when the two get together, it can be the most adorable thing you've ever seen."
I picture her bolting whisky shots in the back during commercial breaks.
Contestants and their parents are obviously selected for sheer Shirley Temple adorability. Here is a clip where a small child does impressions of her mother doing impressions of celebrities. It is called "Celeb-u-tot."
Open www.hulu.com
And here is an adorable child answering the telephone adorably:
In my favorite challenge, twin boys were told to hold a pair of balloons. The producers then released a remote controlled car WITH A CUPCAKE ON THE BACK into the room. It's like somebody turned that marshmallow study into pure entertainment.
These games, by the way, take place in something called the "Walmart Every Little Step Baby Dome." Frankly the whole show feels like some ham-handed piece of sponsored content. Each child is introduced with a "Luv's Baby Bio," and the children await their moment of stardom in a greenroom surrounded by very obviously positioned Johnson & Johnson products. There is a Walmart logo painted on the door of the Baby Dome. Occasionally, Peterman delivers reminders that you can buy any of the products seen at... you guessed it, Walmart!
Now, I would be lying if I said "Bet on Your Baby" was not periodically riveting. You really want those babies to get that college money! Get money, babies! But it's only entertaining for ten minutes, tops. Let's face it, there's a reason YouTube loves children and animals and it's because they're only mesmerizing in five-minute bursts. And yet "Bet on Your Baby" is AN HOUR LONG.
Then again, it does air at Saturdays on 8 p.m. That's basically a parallel universe that exists alongside prestige dramas and trashy reality TV and even singing competitions. Clearly, the audience for this show is exhausted parents of small children who are literally too tired to follow DVR'd episodes of American Idol. I've never not wanted kids, but contemplating the existence of Bet on Your Baby is enough to inspire serious second thoughts.
America has finally created a television show that is beyond parody. We did it, guys!
Satire is dead, and Bet on Your Baby pulled the trigger.

Pictionary is great for date activities, work parties, or to play in any large group. Pictionary is a board game where a player from each team take turns drawing a word on a card that they pull. Their team members need to guess this word with no other hints other than drawings. You don't need to be a great artist to be good at Pictionary. You just need to be creative and draw the right things at the right moment to win this game.
To keep the game interesting, there are also extra activities on the game board spaces and depending on the space your team lands on, your next topic is assigned. With close to 500 cards having 5 words on each, this board game can easily keep everyone entertained for hours. Don't forget to check out our instructions on how to play Pictionary. Pictionary has been a popular board game for years and a fun activity for everyone!
To beat your opponent(s) at Pictionary, your team will need to correctly identify the right word from clues drawn on a piece of paper. Each word correctly guessed advances your token closer to the Finish square. First one to reach this square wins.
This game includes the Pictionary board, a one minute timer, 4 category cards, 496 keyword card (5 words per card), die, 4 pads of paper, 4 pencils and the official Pictionary board game rules.
Once the Pictionary board has been laid out, place the box of cards in the middle of the board. Hand out the category cards for reference and teams are created (preferably equally). All teams start on the "Start" square and will need to have a pencil and pad of paper. Determining who goes first is simply the team that rolls the highest after choosing who on each team will be drawing first. "All Play" is the first round so everyone on that team can guess.
The Pictionary rules for game play are as follows. Each team draws a card at the beginning of their turn which will tell you what you will be drawing based on the color space your team's token is currently resting on. The chosen person to draw then has only five seconds to look at the card and plan their drawing strategy. The one minute timer starts and the person drawing for the team begins drawing without using any verbal communication or gestures. Writing numbers or letters on your paper is against the rules.
The same team that is drawing is now trying to guess the drawn clue. If this is accomplished in less than one minute they advance themselves on the Pictionary board by rolling the die and a new card is drawn. Rotating drawing team members (the person drawing the clue) is part of the rules.
As part of the Pictionary objective, the first team to guess the correct clue on the Finish square is then named the winner of the game. It does not need to be your turn to win.
Allowing answers to be plural or singular are rules that teams need to decide upon before the game begins.
If you wish to locate something on the paper or cross something out, you may use an "X" as long as it is not used as a letter.
You are not limited to the number or amount of paper that is used per clue.
Having pre-arranged clues or secrets within the team is against Pictionary rules. Common mistakes include drawing lines for each word in the clue indicating how many words to guess or drawing an ear to indicate that is sounds like something else.
Spelling does not matter meaning that a player can draw clues for the word "chute" even though the card says "shoot."
Share with us your comments, funny stories, tips, advice, strategies, creative ways to play, questions about how to play, problems with the rules or anything you want about Pictionary. All submissions will be reviewed within 24 hours. Click here to add your Pictionary comments.
We played the first Edition. My family had two teams.If Team#1 drew for All Play both teams guessed. The team that guessed correctly got to go next. If Team#1 drew not an AllPlay, if their teammates guessed correctly, they got another turn. Otherwise, it became Team#2's turn. There always was only one team drawing at a time. Is this acceptable?
It is not legal to look at the other teams drawings during all play. This was a big argument in our family and finally I found the rule online.
Clue was Perk. response was percolator. As the word perk in included within the response, and spelled differently (but derived from the response word) was this a qualifying answer? Bitter debate ensued.
The clue was England and my aunty drew the English flag. Is this legal? Next however she pointed to it and said "what is this!?". I know that that is not allowed but was just wondering if drawing a countries flag is legal without the speech.
In the case that we land on an all play, but the die that makes it complex says two words in the same time, do the teams have to guess both or just whoever gets the first word wins or how does that work?
Seems like there are always arguments over the game rules as far as what you can do and what you can't. Be sure everyone is playing by the same set of rules so you can play pictionary instead of wasting time taking about how to play pictionary.
Question: During an AllPlay, are you allowed to look at the other team's drawing? This was a dispute we had with the game.
Absolutely. This is a good house rule.
If the word is Penitentiary and the team guessed "Prison", is it acceptable to declare a win since the two words penitentiary and prison are considered synonyms and mean the same thing?
Hello all :) If the word is simply "attack" and the guesser shouts out things like "dog attack" or "bear attack" or "animal attack", have they correctly guessed the word by having said "attack" several times, despite another word being placed in front of it (i.e. dog, bear, animal...) or does the drawer need to get the guesser to ixnay the words before it and only say "attack" by itself? Thank you in advance for any help on this.
Just want to know, If its something like Ball PEN. Lets say somebody guessed Ball, Can I write 'Ball' on the paper because they guessed it and start working on 'Pen'?
You have 3 groups. It's team a, b and c. The rotation starts from team a, then b, then c. It's team a's turn and the card said it's an All Play. Team c guessed it write. So it's now their turn, right? Let's say it is. So the get a card but failed to guess the word. Who's turn is it next? Team a or team b?
We had an interesting dispute recently. The word was "erase" and the picturist drew a rectangle and began drawing sticks in the rectangle (to represent a chalk or white board, etc.). The picturist then erased the items he had drawn inside of the rectangle and began redrawing within the rectangle. At that point, a member of the opposing team yelled out, "you can't do that!" and immediately thereafter the word was guessed. Was this an infraction of an Pictionary rule?? I thought it was a very unusual circumstance. Thanks for your comments.
A lot of these questions should come up when deciding the "house rules". The person who owns the game should decide on any questionable calls. That being said... Logan: Pen and pin are completely different sounds when coming out of the mouth and unfortuately due to the fact the drawing was obviously (I'm assuming) a PEN then no dice. However mail for male is completely acceptable for example. Jerry P: Jono provides a great answer for that. Jono: The symbol for pi should be illegal as it is just that, a symbol. Confusion in Oh: Drawing an arrow to another physical object in the room would be considered cheating because the rules clearly state that you have to "guess the clues drawn on a piece of paper". Brenda: Although I applaud the efficient time management this is definitely a rule that needs to be clarified before hand to use. I personally do not let pictures be used for different clues because it makes the came more fun when everyone has to start from scratch. I am not aware of a specific rule for or against it though.
We just finished a game at our neighbour's house and were called for cheating because we already had a face on the paper from and earlier guess and the word was "ear" so she just added an ear to the face...it was also an AllPlay word....is this cheating??? I'd say it was efficient time management.
We had a family game of pictionary going when my sister's turn was up to draw. Her word was "pinky" so when she drew the picture she drew an arrow pointing on the tablet to her pinky finger that she had lying on top of the paper. This caused a family meltdown? Was that legal?
Jerry P, we've played that you have to finish with an exact roll, but we've also played the other way, it's your choice. I have another question. for "cherry pie" a player drew a cherry and then the symbol for pi. would symbols like that be legal?
you're 3 squares away from the finish square...do you have to roll a 3 to get there? or can you roll a 3 or higher??
There was a dispute during a recent round of pictionary regarding the pronunciation of the word 'pin'. Rather than bias the argument by exposing my position, I will simply ask, is the drawing of a 'pen' and the subsequent pronunciation (whatever it is) acceptable?

DC Comics Holds All Staff Meeting, Issues Statement About Sexual Harassment
Written by Jude Terror on Saturday, May 14 2016 and posted in News with Benefits
It's three weeks late and the bare minimum possible, but it's better than nothing, we guess.
Source: CBR
Three weeks after people first began openly naming senior DC Editor Eddie Berganza as a multiple-time alleged sexual harasser, followed by additional allegations of sexual assault by a senior DC art director, and after a widely expressed belief that the company failed to properly handle sexual harassment complaints and instead discouraged victims and witnesses from speaking out, DC Comics has released a short statement to Comic Book Resources:
DC Entertainment strives to foster a culture of inclusion, fairness and respect. While we cannot comment on specific personnel matters, DC takes allegations of discrimination and harassment very seriously, promptly investigates reports of misconduct and disciplines those who violate our standards and policies.
As part of our ongoing effort to provide an equitable working environment, we are reviewing our policies, expanding employee training on the topic and working with internal and external resources to ensure that these policies and procedures are respected and reinforced across the company.
The statement followed an "all staff" meeting Friday led by DC Entertainment head Diane Nelson about sexual harassment.
This was the bare minimum we hoped DC would do, and represents a... start. Not a great start, because it took a long time, and not a huge step, because as mentioned, it's the absolute bare minimum they could do. It's not even an honest attempt at taking responsibility, because it admits no fault and was released on a Friday evening. And frankly, we have absolutely no reason to trust them after it's been so badly handled for so long. But it's a start, and we hope there's a lot more to come.
We also hope that this is recognized as verification of the power of social media and grassroots reporting as a tool to pressure corporations and media into action. For years, the comics industry didn't want to talk about this, and mainstream comics media more or less complied. But because all of you refused to accept the silence, demanding action on social media and blogs, the issue was thrust to the forefront of discussion for two weeks, the media was forced to report on it, and DC was forced to publicly address it at last. There should be no question that social media is indeed a valid outlet, especially when all other avenues are exhausted and ineffective, to shine a light on these issues.
And there's no way we should stop here. Not only does DC have a lot more to do, but the industry as a whole does as well. We hope everyone continues to hold corporations and individuals in the comics industry accountable, and we'll continue to use all of our resources to boost any voices trying to do just that.


Beautiful road along the Sieg River. Nice curves and mostly smooth surface. Rast at Bikers Rast Dattenfeld or Burg Blankenberg. At the Eastern end, you can connect to B256 Northwards and loop back West on B478.
Beautiful scenery - B256 through the forest, B478 along the river between farms. Curvy road with good to excellent surface.
quelque montée déscente pour bien roder ses pneux !
Erst an der Elbe entlang durch das Alte Land, bis zur Nordsee.
Two one- way sections with nice corners through the forest. Lots of fun.
Through the forests and over fields.
Brilliant route for restoring squared of tyres, requires good riding skill level and non stop concentration! Bikers Ranch Café is a great food stop and also a fab accessory shop!!
This route is a mix of Mountains and forest.

December 22, 2019 | Press Statement
We Don't Want A Repeat Of Ife-Modakeke Intra-Ethnic Conflict In Ifelodun Local Govt Area Of Osun State - Group
By Ifelodun Youth Vanguard (IYV)
A group known as Ifelodun Youth Vanguard (IYV) has urged the Governor of Osun state, Adegboyega Oyetola to urgently wade into the issue of elevation of Eko Ajala royal father to 'part II Oba by the State government and the rejection of the move by the king of Eko Ende in Ifelodun Local Government Area Of Osun before it becomes a serious intra-ethnic conflict.
The group in a press release by its chairman and secretary-Sanmi Akande and Adegoke Matthew, it warned that an imminent intra-ethnic conflict is currently brewing between Eko Ajala and Eko Ende in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of State of Osun over the elevation of State elevation of Eko Ajala royal father to position of 'Part II Oba'.
"As the apex body of youth groups in Ifelodun local government area of Osun state, we are aware that the bone of contention, was the elevation of nine traditional leaders to the position of 'Part II Obas,' and which the traditional ruler of Eko Ajala, Oba Akinwale Abimbola Sunday is one of the beneficiaries of the elevation. The Elende of Ende land, Oba Abdulrahuf Olaniyan Adebayo kicked against the move of the State government under the former Governor of the State, Abdulrahuf Aregbesola and approached a court to prevent the elevation of Oba Akinwale Abimbola Sunday as 'Part II Oba' in the Ifelodun local government area of the State."
The group added that despite the fact that the case is still in court and the next hearing date is February 17, 2020, the Elende of Ende Land has tried to instigate mayhem in the community on several occasions.
Speaking further, the group stated that it took the intervention of security agencies that prevented breakdown of order in the two communities. 'A stitch in time saves nine, we are using this medium to appeal to Osun state government and all relevant security agencies and the entire traditional council in Osun state to wade into the matter before it becomes another Ife-Modakeke intra-ethnic conflict.
"The government of Osun state must urgently do something about this issue before it becomes a serious crisis. As we write now, Elende of Endeland has erected a sign post stating 'This Land Belongs To Eko Ende', while in actual sense, the land belongs to Eko Ajala.
The Group urged the State government to wade into the crisis, warning that the action of Elende of Endeland might lead to breakdown of law and order in the community if not timely addressed.

Haiti se účastnilo Letních olympijských her 2008 a zastupovalo ho 7 sportovců ve 3 sportech (3 muži a 4 ženy). Vlajkonošem výpravy byl judista Joel Brutus. Nejmladší z výpravy byla Barbar Pierre, které bylo v době konání her 21 let. Nejstarším z výpravy byl Joel Brutus, kterému bylo v době konání her 34 let. Nikomu z výpravy se během her nepodařilo získat medaili.

Pozadí
Pro Haiti byla účast na hrách v Pekingu jeho čtrnáctou olympijskou účastí. Během těchto olympijských startů se haitským sportovcům podařilo vyhrát pouze jednu stříbrnou (v roce 1928) a jednu bronzovou (v roce 1924) medaili a tento počet medailových úspěchů se nezměnil ani po hrách v Pekingu.

Disciplíny

Atletika
Nejvíce zástupců mělo Haiti v atletických běžeckých soutěžích. V nich startoval překážkář Dudley Dorival, čtvrtkařka Ginou Etienne, překážkářka Nadine Faustin-Parker a sprinterka Barbara Pierreová.

32letý rodák z New Jersey reprezentující Haiti Dudley Dorival startoval v Pekingu na svých třetích olympijských hrách. Do rozběhu závodu na 110 m překážek nastoupil 17. srpna 2008 a trať zaběhl v čase 13,78 sekundy. Ve svém rozběhu tak skončil sedmý a do čtvrtfinále postoupil díky dosaženému času. Ve čtvrtfinále se 19. srpna Dorival představil ve třetím běhu a s časem 13,71 sekundy skončil opět na sedmé pozici, kdy překonal pouze diskvalifikovaného reprezentanta Bahrajnu. Tento výkon na postup do semifinále nestačil a Dorival se celkově umístil na 25. místě.

23letá Ginou Etienne startovala v Pekingu na svým prvních olympijských hrách. 16. srpna 2008 nastoupila do rozběhu závodu žen na 400 metrů. Zaběhla čas 53,94 sekundy a skončila ve svém běhu šestá. Tento výkon na postup nestačil a z 50 startujících atletek se umístila na 41. místě.

Překážkářka Nadine Faustin-Parker pocházející z Bruselu startovala v závodu na 100 m překážek. Start v Pekingu byl její třetí olympijskou účastí. Do rozběhu nastoupila 17. srpna 2008 a mezi jejími soupeřkami v rozběhu byla i budoucí olympijská vítězka Dawn Harperová. Faustin-Parker závod dokončila s časem 13,25 sekundy, který stačil na šesté místo, ale postup do čtvrtfinále si jím nezajistila. Celkově se z 40 startujících atletek umístila na 29. místě.

Pro 21letou Barbaru Pierreovou byla účast na hrách v Pekingu jejím olympijským debutem. Do rozběhu závodu na 100 m nastoupila 16. srpna 2008, a to do desátého rozběhu. V rozběhu skončila čtvrtá s časem 11,52 sekundy. Umístila se tak na 30. pozici z 85 startujících sprinterek a na čas postoupila do čtvrtfinále. V něm startovala v pátém běhu a zaběhla čas 11,56 sekundy a skončila pátá. Tento čas na postup do semifinále nestačil a celkově se umístila na 31. místě.

Box
V boxu se z Haiti kvalifikoval pouze Azea Augustama, který startoval v polotěžké váze do 81 kg. Pro 25letého boxera to byla jeho první olympijská účast. Svému soupeři Brazilci Washingtonu Silvovi se postavil 9. srpna 2008. Augustama souboj prohrál se skóre 2:6 a do dalších kol nepostoupil.

Judo
V judu reprezentovali Haiti v Pekingu dva sportovci. Pro vlajkonoše výpravy 34letého Joela Brutuse byla účast v Pekingu jeho druhým olympijským startem. Závodil v kategorii mužů nad 100 kg. V předkole, které se konalo 15. srpna 2008, se Brutus postavil jihokorejskému reprezentantovi Kim Song-pomovi. Brutus v souboji nebyl úspěšný a do dalších kol nepostoupil.

Pro 23letou Ange Jean Baptiste byla účast na hrách v Pekingu jejím olympijským debutem. Startovala v kategorii žen do 57 kg. Její soupeřkou byla kubánská judistka Yurisleidys Lupeteyová, se kterou Baptiste prohrála a do dalších kol nepostoupila.

Thanks to Google Maps, I remembered to force my friend to take me to Acorn Street in Boston.
Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the places you want to visit — be it a country, a restaurant, or a landmark.
But there's one Google Maps hack that makes remembering hotspots infinitely easier: the save feature.
When I first moved to New York City in October of 2015, it was the first time I was going to be living in a large city for more than a few months. I had mapped out sights I wanted to see and places I wanted to eat while leaving here, but I quickly began to lose track of where I had been and where I still wanted to go.
After walking through new neighborhoods in the city, I kept writing down the names of restaurants and shops that I wanted to look up once I got home, but that quickly turned into a mess. Enter Google Maps.
The save feature has allowed me to keep track of everything I see or read about that sounds interesting.
Now, every time I pass an adorable restaurant, read about an interesting place, or spot a beautiful photo on Instagram, I instantly mark it down on my map.
Too many places to visit.
But the best part about this feature is that it helps me when I plan trips to different cities and countries.
I follow a ton of travel bloggers and sites on various social media accounts, so as soon as I read about or see a restaurant or site recommendation, it gets saved.
When I recently spent a weekend in Boston, I made sure to visit all of the places I had saved (including the famous Acorn Street) and even added new stars for the next time I head to the city.
My saved places extend all over the world.
First, open your Google Maps app and type in the location of where you want to save. Once it comes up, tap on the tag at the bottom to make the location full screen. After that, all you have to do is click save and the star will be added to your map.
My friend visited this Oregon park, and now I'm looking to make a stop there.
Even better, if you have Google Maps as your main map app, as soon as you click on an address online or the name of the location on another app like Instagram, it will open it on Google Maps, allowing you to save it instantly.
The save feature has also been updated to now allow you to choose between starred, favorites, and want to go. When I first started using the save feature, the star was the only option, so I keep using it for my own organizational reasons.
When you're planning a trip to new location or trying to find a restaurant in a city you already live in, all you have to do is open your map, see what you have starred, and make sure you hit it up when you're there.
And as soon as you make it to the location you wanted to visit, you can just tap the save button again to unsave it and remove it from your map. Happy saving!
