MEMORABLE CHARACTERS, MAGIC, GOOD, AND EVIL! AWARD-WINNING NOVEL - LIKE I USED TO DANCE BY BARBARA FRANCES IS A TERRIFIC COMMENTARY ON SPIRITUALITY VS RELIGION & RELATIONS!!!!!
A PLACE WHERE SHADOWS WALK AND ONE NEEDS TO FIND REALITY FROM INSANITY - SHADOW'S WAY BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR BARBARA FRANCES
Prepare to be spellbound. Barbara Frances' long-awaited third novel, "Shadow's Way," takes you to the coastal, deep South, where the past and the present mingle in a gothic tale of insanity, murder, and sexual intrigue.
You'll meet the beautiful Elaine Chauvier, former actress and proprietor of Shadow's Way, her family's antebellum home; the esteemed Archbishop Andre Figurant and his fallen identical twin, Bastien; newly arrived Ophelia and Rudy, here to explore their Chauvier roots and their ties to Shadow's Way; and the mysterious Madame Claudine. Under a veneer of piety and graciousness, i.e., the questions: What is good? What is evil? What is reality?
Fans of Agatha Christie and her enormous ensemble casts will find many enjoyable parallels in the work and structure of author Barbara Frances. I particularly enjoyed the setting for this tale, playing on the traditional tropes of the Southern gothic genre, but also adding many flairs and twists from ghost stories, fables and psychological horror works. Both the characters and plot are multi-faceted, giving readers a lot to follow, but also a lot to gain from paying close attention to each clue and motivation. The mystery itself sometimes takes a back seat when the (often literal) ghosts and shadows take over, playing with the characters' sensibilities and forcing them to ask much deeper questions of themselves and others. What results is an emotive but also thoughtful, spooky mystery novel. I would highly recommend Shadow's Way to mystery and gothic fiction fans looking for something new, unique and really well crafted
WHAT WOULD A HORSE TELL YOU, IF YOU LISTENED? THE NURSE MARE'S TALE AND AWARD-WINNING DINKY: THE NURSE MARE'S FOAL - BY MARTA MORAN BISHOP - NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK, AUDIO, AND KINDLE
The Nurse Mare's Tale is in a way the prequel to Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal, as it tells the story of Dinky's mother.
This lovely story is told from the viewpoint of two aging nurse mares about to give birth, and the trials they go through. It tells us of Sadie and her friend Nellie and is accompanied with charming dialogue (both speaking and thinking). The plight of these animals is described in empathetic detail.
Winnie Award Winner at the Equus Film Festival. Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal is the story of one little foals fight for survival after being taken from his mother within hours of his birth. Dinky, takes us on a poignant trip through the heart and mind of an animal, who was born for the sole purpose of producing milk in the mare. In the elite world of horses, Dinky was considered a by-product, a 'junk foal.' Dinky's story will resonate with animal lovers, as well as anyone who has adopted. Although a horse, his story has been called an adoption story. The reader can follow him through the heartbreak, cruelty, loneliness, and finally to happiness in his forever home. His story is based on true events. Each event from the moment the author met Dinky actually happened, though it is the author's interpretation of what he might have been thinking and feeling during the occasions described in his story. His early life which is unknown has been fictionalized by the author and constructed through research and imagination. There are many wonderful animal rescue leagues, many are very empathic to these young animals, though some are not. Since Ms. Bishop has no knowledge of Dinky's early days she used the latter to enhance the strength of his story. It will break your heart, open your eyes, lift you up, and teach you much about horses. It is suitable for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching, Informative Story Inspiring Change
The Nurse Mare's Tale is told from the perspective of a horse named Sadie, who is placed in servitude to feed other mare's horses with her milk. Like many of Marta Moran Bishop's stories, this book takes an unflinching look at the problematic things we sometimes do in society in pursuit of profits. In this case, it's the equine industry and the practice of using nurse mares.
Nurse mares are bred for the sole purpose of providing milk to more "desirable" foals, such as racehorse foals. Their own foals are often treated as throwaways in the industry. The industry maintains that the practice is necessary, while equine rights activists condemn the practice. Throwaway foals are sometimes slaughtered, and the mares themselves are often repeatedly re-bred with little opportunity to properly heal. There is a huge profit incentive for thoroughbred farmers to use nurse mares in raising their foals.
Before reading The Nurse Mare's Tale, I knew a little about the industry and the lengths it goes to in order to maximize profitability, pushing the boundaries of humane animal treatment. Mares are sometimes kept under artificial light 24/7 early in the spring to influence their reproductive cycle, for example. Bishop's book raised my awareness of issues to a new level, and at times, it was difficult to continue reading for that reason. Horses are sentient beings and treating them as if they aren't is disturbing.
It's important reading, however, because it raises awareness of the treatment of these beautiful creatures on whose backs fortunes are made. Awareness of the issues is the first step in cultivating positive change.
Bishop's book is beautifully written, and she weaves in factual information in such a way that it comes across as a natural narrative. The lessons she presents are artfully delivered through Sadie's eyes.
Readers who are sensitive to the plight of animals or who want to know more about the horse industry will find this book deeply moving. At times, it is touching, and at other times, it's sad. Regardless, its message is an important one.
DINKY: THE NURSE MARE'S FOAL
A WALK WITH VIRGINIA (A MEMOIR) BY JILL ZAPATA IS A GEM!!! IT WILL MAKE YOU WEEP, LAUGH, AND MOST OF ALL CARE!
To walk with another person can be as mundane as putting on one's socks and shoes, or it can be a twisting, turning, life-changing journey into unknown territory. It can also be everything in between. My walk with Virginia was life changing. It was unexpected. It was challenging. It was frustrating and confusing. We had highs, and we had lows. Thankfully, it was also awe-inspiring and extraordinary.
Have you ever been a caregiver for a family member or a friend? Is it, perhaps, on the horizon of your life? Or maybe you cannot yet see the horizon. Make no mistake, it is not a question of love, whether to provide much needed and potentially long-term care. It is a question of necessity. Love, and devotion born out of love, are the firmly rooted footings on which you stand when providing this necessary care. Humor is the grab bar you grip tightly when the ground below you begins to shake or shift. Patience is paramount. I survived it, and you can, too. I believe I am a better person having had the experience.
My story is a true account of my caregiving experience with my mother-in-law. It lasted only a few short years and, in that time, carved such deep and permanent remembrances too good not to share. Some would ask, "why share something so personal?", and my reply would be, "why not?". Life is so much sweeter when shared with others. I hope you find comfort, a little guidance perhaps, enjoy a few laughs, and chew on some 'food for thought' as you journey with Virginia and I through the blessings and blunders of Caregiving!

I loved every thing about this book . It is very encouraging to anyone going thru a similar situation. The humor is an extra added bonus . When one goes thru bad times , humor always helps . Without faith , humor and sharing with friends , hard times seem much darker . This is a great book to give to anyone that has
been given the responsibility of caregiving .

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021
I just finished reading the most heartwarming, compassionate memoir by Jill Zapata 'A Walk With Virginia.' In it, Ms. Zapata recounts her time spent as a caretaker for her future mother-in-law Virginia.
Having spent time as a caretaker for my mother, I can attest that there are both the funny, as well as those that were heartbreaking, confusing, and yet as Ms. Zapata puts it a 'fellow feeling' happens that can only be, between those who you have spent the time as their caretaker.
For as they lose their mobility, ability to do things they once could, and sometimes even their ability to communicate, or hold onto a thought, or activity for long, they become not only your friend, but your child, and no relationship can you ever be quite as close to another, as you do when you become a caretaker.
Yes, it is at times challenging, emotional, frustrating, and difficult, but the joys, and laughter lives on in us so much longer than those harder memories.
I loved this book and shall be one I reread over the years.
DAPHNE AWOKE FROM A VIVID DREAM. SHE DREAMT SHE WAS IN SCOTLAND AND HAD JUST BEEN WIDOWED. HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN MURDERED. IT WAS SOME DISTANT TIME IN THE PAST!!! DRAGONFLY DREAMS (A REINCARNATION NOVEL) BY FRANKI DEMERLE
Daphne Robin is ecstatic. She has just married Richard, the most wonderful man she's ever met, and they will honeymoon in Scotland. But on the eve of their departure, Daphne has a terrifying nightmare about Richard that leaves her shaken. The dream turns into reality when Richard begins abusing her in Scotland. Several months later, following his brutal attack, when Daphne announces she has become pregnant, he brutally attacks her--and then she suffers a miscarriage. The only place Daphne can find refuge from her wrecked life is within her dream world. She often dreams of a warm-hearted, tender man who comforts her and provides for her every need. Daphne retreats from reality more and more, and soon, as the years pass by, she becomes a shell of the woman she once was. Eventually, however, she reaches her breaking point; Daphne gathers the strength to escape her husband's clutches. She heads to her sister's place in Washington and meets Major Ursa-Barrios, a retired army officer who has pledged to help her. The two fall deeply in love, and Daphne wonders if this kind, generous man can possibly be her salvation. Although the Major is retired, Daphne's sister is still in service. When the sisters seek to explore their dreams through past life regression techniques, they discover secrets about their pasts that could reveal the purpose of their current lives..

`Shortly before 2:30 AM, Daphne awoke from a vivid dream. She dreamt she was in Scotland and had just been widowed. Her husband had been murdered. It was some distant time in the past, and she was dressed in a long black gown with a stiff white headdress She could feel the tightness of her corset contrast the softness of her gown's material on her skin. Richard was there, but other people in the dream were saying he was responsible for her late husband's murder. She was confused and didn't know what to believe. She had thought she could trust Richard, but a voice in the dream announced, "During the Protestant Reformation, these sides were divided." As she wondered what that meant, Richard captured her and took her against her will to a castle, where he raped her. Then, when he left her alone with a woman companion to look after her, the two women escaped. They disguised themselves as men and used bed linens to climb through a window and down the castle wall. She was terrified. She and her companion rode across the nearby border to England, where they thought they would be safe. At first, when they told their story of what had happened, they were given sanctuary by kind people. But after about a week or so, word came to the household from the authorities that she was to be held as a prisoner again. She did not understand why. Then she was told that Richard had also fled Scotland and was also imprisoned, but in another country.'
Daphne Robin and her sister Deandra were both accustomed to strange dreams. Deandra has dreamed, since childhood, that she was a soldier with lots of brothers. In her dream she was a man and someone was beating her face in. Daphne's dream about Scotland came shortly after her marriage to Richard Gatorman, owner of a construction company as well as Daphne's boss. Scotland was a place Daphne had always wanted to go to so when the dream coincided with Richard announcing that they would be honeymooning in Scotland, she let her excitement override the possibility of a warning. But, Richard had always been the perfect mate. He was loving, caring and offered her everything she could ever want...so she thought. The honeymoon would turn out to be the beginning of her seeing the true Richard she had married. A marriage that she soon realized had been a big mistake. The only out for Daphne becomes sleep in which her dreams have her flying the skies with a handsome man. If it weren't for her dream time she would probably give up on life itself.
Deandra, being an officer in the Army, enlists the help of her friend Major Ursa-Barrios to help Daphne escape the abuse being inflicted by Richard. Major, as he likes to be called, has had his own dreams over the years. In his dreams he would help a young lady and falls in love with her. Could Daphne possibly be the woman in his dream? Could Major possibly be the man in Daphne's dreams?
As Deandra, Daphne and Major come together, they start searching for the answers to their dreams. Deandra wanting to know who the person getting their face bashed in is and who are the brothers. Daphne wants to know who the woman in Scotland could be as well as who she soars the skies with. And Major wants to meet the lady from his dreams.
Franki deMerle has done it again with a book of mystery, love and a certain air of suspense. The more I read, the more I wanted answers to the character's dreams but I wasn't really expecting what the dreams actually turned out to be.
5.0 out of 5 stars POSSIBILITIES
As a woman who is curious about nearly everything, I picked up Dragonfly Dreams looking for a sense of possibilities. I found that and more. Franki deMerle is a masterful story teller, combining the dream state with possible reality.
What is reality and what is truth. Have we lived before? Do we dream our way into a better future? Are all these possibilities just a magnificent story?
I loved this book. Ms. deMerle wrote characters that were captivating and three dimensional, whether they were reliving a past life or living in the present. Definitely a book to be read and enjoyed, and it left me with more than a good read. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reincarnation or just a great story.
A MAGICAL LETTER AND A NEWCAST TRANSFORM LOTTIE'S VACATION INTO AN ACTION PACKED ADVENTURE - LOTTIE'S ADVENTURE: CHASING THE MONSTER - A CHAPTER BOOK BY BARBARA FRANCES.
An action-packed children's book written especially for ages 8 through 14. Children will enjoy this exciting read while also improving their reading skills. Twenty-nine chapters filled with twists and turns keep kids reading to discover the outcome.
Lottie, a lively ten-year old Hispanic girl, longs for something new and different in her life. Her summers up to this point have all been, more or less, the same.
Then the arrival of a magical letter and a TV newscast transforms her vacation time in a high adventure.
Her great adventure includes trying to relate to a cold, estranged, and rich grandmother, freeing a kidnapped ten-year-old African American boy from
a locked room, hiding him in a safe place, and then fleeing with him from a kidnapper who is always just a step or two behind.
Lottie's Adventure: Facing the Monster has a new cover but it's still the same great story described in the wonderful reviews on the Reviews page and still only $12.95 plus shipping.
I finished your book last night. I couldn't put it down. Because I wanted to know what would happen next! It's a charming story and I like your writing. Lottie is a very likable character, as are all the characters except those that aren't meant to be. I enjoyed grandmother's melting ambivalence. And there are certainly enough points of tension and surprising turns to keep one reading on. I particularly liked your descriptions of Hispanic family and culture. Well done!! I wish you and Lottie success.

A GRANDMOTHER THAT REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER FINALLY WANTS TO MEET LOTTIE - AND AN ADVENTURE BEGINS - WITH A KIDNAPPED BOY, A DISCOVERY ABOUT HERSELF, AND NEW RELATIONSHIPS MADE - LOTTIE'S ADVENTURE FACING THE MONSTER BY BARBARA FRANCES
A New Hero Is Born
Lottie is my kind of people. A real person. Caring, smart, savvy. She may be only a kid, but she's a great role model for anybody. And she has the most interesting, sometimes kind of scary, adventures. And she meets weird people, funny people, wacky people, serious people. Sometimes she gets herself in a pickle, but she always rises to the occasion and figures out how to get out of it. She doesn't reject the kindness of strangers either.
More than anything, Lottie is saturated with decency. She's doesn't have to be in control all the time. She can be vulnerable. She can be hurt. But she likes herself no matter what. And she likes people. All people.
If you liked A Wrinkle in Time, you'll like Lottie's Adventures as well.

Firefox 'most insecure browser'
Firefox accounts for almost half of all browser vulnerabilities. Mozilla's finest is responsible for 44 percent of all browser flaws, Apple's Safari takes second place with 35 percent, while the traditionally-reviled Internet Explorer only accounts for 15 percent of browser bugs.
In the first six months of 2009, California-based web security company Cenzic says Mozilla's browser had the largest percentage of web vulnerabilities, with Safari second, Internet Explorer third and Opera fourth on six percent.
You can download the Cenzic report here.
"It's not rocket science," says Lars Ewe, Cenzic's chief technology officer. "We used several databases, including the CVE (common vulnerabilities and exposures) database to count the number of known vulnerabilities.
"[But] at the end of the day, the number of vulnerabilities is only one measurement of a browser's security," adds Ewe. "We're not trying to point a finger at any one browser. I would certainly not abandon Firefox because of this."
Mozilla claims the huge number of vulnerabilities is due to Firefox's increasing popularity amongst hackers and other miscreants. "Firefox clearly has some a momentum," said a spokesperson. "When you gain momentum, you're exposed more to security researchers and hackers."
But it's not just Mozilla that's ended up with egg on its face. Although 'only' accounting for 35 percent of all vulnerabilities, Safari, including the cut down version for the iPhone, boasts a rather desultory four percent market share, making the flaws : user ratio rather unimpressive. IE, by comparison, has 65 percent of the market and just 15 percent of the flaws.
But Cenzic points out that all browsers still have room for improvement. Added Ewe: "They have to choose between usability and security, and user-demanded behavior that makes them choose usability over security. That being said, all are trying to be better."
Web metrics company Net Applications puts IE as the most-used browser, with about 65 percent of the market, followed by Firefox with 24 percent, Safari with 4.4 percent, Google's Chrome with 3.6 percent and Opera with 2.2 percent.
Perhaps, in the interests of consumer choice, the EU's browser ballot screen should carry details of the number of security issues associated with each of the browsers on offer.

Story forgoes online presence, bets on brick and mortar
Published Sun, Dec 20 2015 3:00 PM EST
Erin Barry@erincstefanski
Reinventing retail
The holiday shopping season is well underway and for many, the convenience and value of buying online is a huge draw.
Despite recent trends showing electronic retail sales are on a tear, one retailer is betting big on brick and mortar. In fact, the company is selling nothing online.
Rachel Shechtman is the founder of Story, a 2,000-square-foot store in New York City's west side neighborhood of Chelsea. She opened her doors in December 2011, and she completely revamps the store every three to eight weeks. Everything changes — from the store's design to the merchandise it sells.
Read MoreRetailers push shipping deadlines later despite delays
Shechtman explained to CNBC's "On the Money" that Story has the point of view of a magazine, changes like a gallery, and sells things like a store.
"The idea is really looking at a physical space as a media channel and so we have two revenue streams," Shechtman said. "In the same way a magazine has advertisers, we have sponsors, and magazines tell stories by writing articles and taking pictures, and our version of editorial content is merchandise and events."
Rachel Shechtman
Transforming the store every few weeks is an expensive endeavor, let alone the high cost for rent for a New York city storefront. It's also a bold bet in a world where consumers are flocking to their laptops and mobile devices for shopping.
Shechtman, however, insisted her traditional brick and mortar space has an untraditional business model. It's based on a concept she calls "retail media."
Fortune 500 brands such as Hewlett Packard, General Electric, American Express and Target have all sponsored a "story" that is relevant for their brand. To date she has done 28 stories with sponsorships now starting at $400,000.
Today, the store features the theme "Home for the Holidays" sponsored by American Express OPEN. About 2,400 products from 320 different small businesses are featured in a space designed to resemble a person's home, complete with a fireplace, kid's room and even a garage.
The theme goes hand in hand with American Express and its "Shop Small" campaign as well as its nationwide event Small Business Saturday, which encourages people to shop at small local businesses. In November, Shechtman even ran an event on Small Business Saturday, featuring different entrepreneurs and their products every hour. Businesses ranged from jewelry makers to food trucks vendors.
Small business owner Jessica Hendricks, founder of Brave Collection, was one of the featured businesses.
Story "really becomes a platform of discovery to learn about new brands, and it's an amazing opportunity for small businesses like mine to be able to reach new audiences," Hendricks said.
For the consumer, Shechtman says it's all about the experience, which some appreciate.
"I like the idea that every time you come back you might be seeing all new stuff that you haven't seen before and I think that's what more stores should do," says shopper Kristen Shapowal.
"With everything that's going on with online, we have to create exciting environments for people to get out of their homes and come shopping, and Story really does that," says Brad John. His company, Flight One, was one of the businesses featured.
Shechtman is hopeful her brick-and-mortar innovation will keep the crowds coming. So what's next for the entrepreneur?
While there are no plans to open more stores in the near future, Story's owner says she wants to focus on what she does best: being creative and dynamic.

A battle has been raging for some time between potent natural remedies and addictive drugs and medicines. This is mostly due to the lack of easily understood knowledge about which natural options have been proven effective. In 400 B.C. the "Father of Medicine" Hippocrates said to his students "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food". Mother Nature has provided us with two natural remedies for pain and insomnia that are backed by scientific studies as well as the test of time – calcium and magnesium.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) fact sheet on magnesium says that the mineral is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, and supports a healthy immune system. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting. It helps lower colon cancer risk, helps control high blood pressure, and acts as an effective insomnia remedy.
Headaches are a common source of pain. Studies have shown that people with migraine headaches have low concentrations of magnesium in their body. The word "cephalalgia" literally means head pain or headache. In a German study of eighty-one migraine patients published in the journal Cephalalgia, 42 percent of the people taking oral magnesium reduced both the duration and intensity of their migraine attacks. They also reduced their reliance on medications to control migraines.
In a recent study of 497 women, calcium was shown to be an effective pain reliever. The study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, was called "Calcium Carbonate and the Premenstrual Syndrome: Effects on Premenstrual and Menstrual Symptoms." Within two to three months, the women who were supplemented with 1200 mg of calcium daily, were able to reduce their pain symptoms by 54%, while the women not on calcium actually experienced an increase in pain.
Regarding the use of nutritional remedies containing calcium and magnesium for relief of pain and remedying insomnia, certain formulas are more effective than others. The combination of minerals included and the presence of cofactors in the product are key. Formulas should contain a 2 to 1 ratio of calcium to magnesium (twice as much calcium as magnesium). The original research on this recommended ratio appeared in 1935 in the Journal of Physiological Reviews and was made on the basis of long-term metabolic studies in men and women.
One natural insomnia remedy showing good results is Sleep Minerals II, made by http://www.NutritionBreakthroughs.com in Glendale, CA. This sleep remedy contains six types of calcium, three forms of magnesium, boron, Vitamin D, Vitamin K and horsetail herb – all combined in a softgel with carrier oils. Oils such as evening primrose have been shown to increase mineral absorption, reduce calcium excretion, and increase bone density.

Whether you are launching a new business, service or product, or rebranding an existing one, it's important to know where to start. Utilizing the knowledge of Active Web Group's seasoned professionals, we've developed this basic guide to assist in understanding successful branding requirements. Within this guide we'll outline the best methods, resources and tools necessary to help your brand stand out and gain its fair market share. Solid branding initiatives will not only attract potential new business, but also guide prospects towards purchasing from your company.
In blog post after blog post we've mentioned the importance of building and implementing a strategy for your brand. Its success depends on the breadth of marketing and strategic planning knowledge, and the timing of its implementation. It is not a casual undertaking and is best suited to a team of highly experienced professionals with proven track records. This series is intended for business owners and decision-makers who may be considering how to best market their brand. We'll cover all phases and invite your comments and questions. We're here to help resolve any issues your brand may be facing. Our goal is always to help you achieve your online business objectives.
Regardless of your company's size, age, culture, or industry, effective branding will indeed expand your brand's reach, increase conversions, and of course, improve the firm's bottom line.
An effective brand is designed to resonate with its intended public, that is, the given demographic(s) your brand elects to target. Another oversight many business owners make is that while the elementary stages of brand-building might seem obvious, they are often overlooked, or not performed correctly. This deceptive simplicity often leads to some business owners to believe that they can create and implement an effective marketing strategy themselves. This error becomes more pronounced as the later, and more critical advanced campaign steps scuttle most homegrown branding initiatives. For example, in a professional targeted branding campaign, major significance is placed upon the details because these provide the subtle cues that consumers can associate with, find interesting, and therefore worth their attention and interest.
Why is it Important to Cater to Your Demographic?
Like the valedictorian or prom queen from one's high school days, brands take on their own persona! Through hard work, dedication, campaigning and having an identifiable as well as a likeable personality, their respective fan bases grew; and their unique voices were heard. Branding is a similar concept, only instead of appealing to classmates and faculty; a brand's personality should be tailored to appeal to a carefully selected target audience.
If a successful brand were a person, the intended customers would strive to take part in that brand's daily activities, message and persona, eager to be best friends with that brand. Therefore, a brand's message should speak to potential customers. Brands whose messaging t anticipates and delivers what their demographic wants or needs, will be heard, will elicit a response, and will ultimately, be successful..
For each of these examples, there is a strong association between how consumers perceive themselves, and how, and the scale with which each brand caters to, and fulfills consumers' expectations.
To summarize: A successful brand stirs and emotional response. This is at the core of brand loyalty and why consumers will repeatedly choose one brand over their competitors' that offer near-identical services.

The world is 71% water and 29% land but we haven't explored the deepest of the ocean yet and we didn't even know what really lies beneath. Thee are so many still to be discovered creatures living in the deep blue ocean.
Imagine looking at these numerous triangular creatures just beneath your keel while traveling across ocean. Would you be amazed or scared?
This epic scenario only happens twice a year when these golden stingrays are migrating in the Gulf of Mexico to warmer waters.
The shade of ocean becomes golden when these stingrays move in group with about 10,000 individuals.
Golden stingrays are shy and pose no threat to others, unless they are cornered or being threatened.
Golden stingrays loves to feed on shellfish. They uses their flexible fins to catch food by quickly slapping them in the sea floor, they pick up the sand flows of water and find hidden crabs, clams and oysters, which they then feed by grinding them.

If you read part one of my Anthem ramblings from yesterday then–welcome back! If you didn't and would like to, go do that and I'll keep this page warm until you get back.
All done? Excellent. Seemed kind of dour, didn't it? I agree. Except for some general "I have hope" sentiments I don't think I really gave anyone reasons to be excited. So let's change that and I think there is no better place to start than the setting.
Unless you're building a game that functions solely on its mechanics like Dead Cells, Tetris or QWOP then a story is an important fundamental aspect to your title. One that I think Anthem has in spades.
The Anthem of Creation
Whether we acknowledge it or not originality is one of the key hooks in any creative endeavor. Even if the skeleton of it is the same as it's been for decades the veneer, a lot of the time, is what really counts. As more and more information about Anthem has been released the comparisons to recent and games long past have been steady.
The loot and RPG systems of Diablo.
The shooter mechanics of Destiny, and the loot.
I'm sure there are more than a few passing references to Borderlands.
The movement, combat and, loot of Warframe.
The cosmetic microtransactions of… any number of games.
The Sci-Fi setting of… any number of games, books and, movies.
I mentioned yesterday that as more details about the game have come out I was surprised by how many people were down on it's aesthetic and story. I won't deny that in many broad ways Anthem feels familiar, just like a lot of games to their spiritual predecessors. I've remarked on numerous occasions that to me Destiny at times feels to me like Bungie is still a bit lovesick for their Halo IP. The Cabal and the Covenant, Master Chief and the Guardians, humanity on the brink. In a lot of broad themes, these games to me have a lot in common beyond just their aesthetics.
But how similar are they? The truthful answer is not at all really, especially once you start getting into the details of the settings where they are significantly different. Each one with a lovingly crafted lore built out into a living, breathing universe that is constantly growing and changing. It's not an easy undertaking to build something like that from scratch and only bear a passing resemblance to IPs that have come before. Bungie and Bioware both deserve a round of applause for managing to do this multiple times over their history as game developers.
Anthem for all its familiarity feels to me like a fresh universe to explore and that in and of itself means it has cleared one of the biggest hurdles a new IP has. So, let us take a look at what know so far before heading into the Open Demo Weekend.
The World of Anthem
Humanity struggles for survival on the ever-changing world of Anthem
The as-of-yet unnamed planet players will be exploring in Anthem is a world described by Mark Darrah as, "… a world stuck in the middle of its genesis." As far as I can tell it's not entirely clear whether or not the planet was being created from scratch or being terraformed from a previously uninhabitable form. The Shapers or Shaper Gods have long since left the world with their work unfinished and the inhabitants of the planet struggling to survive the aftermath. The technology used by the Shapers to harness the Anthem of Creation, energy unique to this universe, were also left behind and still active. Occasionally bursts of energy from these relics will radically alter the landscape and go so far as to mutate the indigenous life. These changes affect everything from their physical appearance to potentially making them more aggressive. We hear several references in trailers to something called The Heart of Rage which may or may not be related to the Anthem itself. This results in a dangerous and ever-changing planet where humanity fights back the chaos from heavily defended enclaves called Forts.
One of these Forts, Tarsis, is where the player begins their journey as a new Freelancer pilot responsible for flying one of the worlds rare Javelin mechs. Javelins are handcrafted suits of armor used by talented pilots to ensure the safety of the remaining human settlements. The story of the Freelancers and their inception actually goes back quite a long way according to the Legion of Dawn trailer. The voiceover talks about a time when humans were slaves to the chaos of the world. That is until one figure, in what we assume was the first Javelin, lead the fight to establish bastions of humanity that still stand today. The technology of the Javelin and this unnamed figures victories lead to the establishment of the Legion of Dawn. Precursors to the modern day Freelancers who still risk their lives to protect and someday reclaim the planet from the constant upheaval threatening to destroy it.
On top of the Shaper Relics and indigenous dangers of the planet, there looms another threat in the form of the Dominion. A faction of humans from the northern reaches lead by a man known only as The Monitor. The goals of the Dominion are simple: survival through strength. They seek to consolidate all of humanity under their banner and claim the Anthem of Creation for themselves. With that done they will be able to make and remake the world at a whim in any fashion they desire. As such the Dominion and The Monitor will be one of the main antagonists through much of the game as the Freelancers stand between them and their search for ultimate power.
On the periphery of this growing conflict, there is also an alien faction which comes from off-world called the Scars. This enigmatic force appears to also seek the technology left behind by the Shapers for their own nefarious ends.
This is only the tip of the iceberg with regards to enemy and allied factions out in the world and even within your home of Fort Tarsis. In classic Bioware fashion, our actions and interactions with each them will shape our version of the story and the world as we play and develop those relationships.
I think that is about as good as I can do for the "in a nutshell" version but suffice it to say for me this was enough to get the wheels spinning. Anthem's developers have said that while we'll learn more about the world during the campaign we won't learn every detail about it nor solve all of its mysteries. Whether or not we'll eventually learn the truth about the Shapers or their original intentions for this world is a toss up but in my estimation, a well-teased story is as good or better than a fully explained one. After all, there is something to be said about keeping the mystery alive and in this case, my place in the grand scheme of Anthem doesn't have to sit front and center as long as I can keep flying my javelin.
A Good Mechanic Goes a Long Way
A great story and setting is all well and good but what about the mechanics of the game? This is the part where I really wish I had done some capture during the demo but with the limited amount of time I had to play it was a secondary concern. Fortunately, there are plenty of great content creators out there on YouTube who have more than enough captured footage for you to enjoy if you weren't able to play last weekend. Even better is that if you want to try it yourself there is an Open Demo starting tomorrow that you can take part in on the PS4, Xbox and PC.
In the interim what I will tell you is that the game feels amazing. I've read, listened and watched a lot of reviews in the last few days and much like the aesthetic complaints I'm just not seeing a lot of the criticism being levied at Anthem. That is until you get to the swimming part and I will 100% agree that feels abysmal with a mouse and keyboard. The flying took a little bit of tweaking on M+K to get just right but once I had it dialed in I didn't want to do anything else. There is absolutely no substitute for the freedom and verticality offered by Anthem in its traversal which is made only better by the sheer mobility in combat.
The mission structure of the game is one aspect that I will say is not my favorite as it sort of breaks up the immersion. As funny as that is to say about a third person shooter. Queueing up in a lobby before loading into a mission or Free-Play is fine but it sort of bypasses the potential magic of suiting up, walking out to the launch platform and jumping. I won't quibble too much about a load screen being in between a player and their adventure but you can't argue with the beauty of a seamless transition from one area or activity to the next. In this age of gaming, it would have been nice if Bioware had found a way to ditch the dreaded static load screen for something more immersive. That being said once you are loaded in the world is your oyster with loads being limited to entering into caverns, buildings or other dungeon-like areas. Many places, even underwater, are free to be explored without hesitation.
As the name looter shooter implies guns play a rather large role in Anthem although perhaps not as large a role as we initially assumed. Bioware has stated that the main reason for the lack of a PVP mechanic in the game is they didn't want the power of characters limited by necessary balance concerns. As such the Javelin's myriad abilities recharge very quickly ensuring that you are never relying on only your weapons for very long. The ensuing cacophony of explosive elemental effects comboing off one another is truly a sight to behold. The rattle of guns is still a constant soundtrack in combat however and they handle okay. There is a jittery aspect to the machine guns that I don't care for although I suspect its a conflict between aim assist and M+K control scheme. Shotguns feel and sound incredible, there is a weight to them that is unmistakable and satisfying. Sniper rifles, especially my favorite the Devastator variant, bring long range damage with an explosive kick to the battlefield. Marksman rifles for me felt the best to me during my playthrough although as a Storm main it was always destined to be. Pistols I could take or leave although I didn't spend as much time with them as I should have.
Gangs all here.
Before this gets too much longer the last thing I want to talk about, in broad terms, are the javelins themselves. The stars of the show. From top to bottom they feel different, look different and play very different. While there are only four base javelin types the weapons, mods, and components you pick up can radically alter how you approach a battle. None of them are relegated to any one role except in the most general sense.
A Storm will never tank a battle or spend much time on the ground, in the thick of things.
A Colossus will not sit back and pick off targets from afar or hover above the battlefield.
An Interceptor will not deal extensive area damage or spend much time in one place, ever.
A Ranger will not… uh, well. Ranger is kind of all-around good at everything so if you don't like being pigeonholed this is the javelin for you.
Short of these clear divisions of labor, you can outfit your javelins to fit a wide variety of playstyles even if they may seem to run contrary to the javelins stated role. With only PvE content to consider it opens up the way for more experimentation with potentially sub-optimal builds. At the end of the day, the way you enjoy playing will trump the statistically optimal choice. With a group of three other javelins, their combined firepower and some skillful play I think we'll find most if not all styles of play are viable in Anthem.
Anthem in its current state is far from a perfect game but as I said before it has enormous potential and that is what excites me the most about it.
Attentive readers will notice that I didn't talk about the microtransaction scheme that will be in the game which is a fair criticism. The main reason I don't want to is that the community already got what it wanted from Bioware and EA in regards to real money purchases. Cosmetic only. The supposed pricing debacle is something we can discuss after launch when it is set in stone but for now, the game is releasing with exactly what we said we wanted. They listened, we won to get out the ticker tape and let's throw that parade.
With the fixes to come in the released game and the technical difficulties (hopefully) ironed out for the Open Demo starting today I think Anthem is finally a game that we can be honestly excited for. It's here, it's real and thus far it isn't all of our worst fears from EA's corporate meddling to Bioware's rocky reputation combined. We chided them for a long time that this game was shaping up, and indeed intended, to be their apology and redemption tour and it seems we were right.
Eventual success or failure aside I think we can confidently say that Anthem is the game Bioware set out to make. They offered transparency to the fans and listened to their feedback over the last couple years to improve on their vision. In a few weeks, the world will get a chance to vote with their wallets on the final product.
I don't know about you but I can't really ask for more than that.
P.S. Bioware also announced that all story-based DLC for this game will be free going forward because they don't want to split up the player base.

Everyone has had a lot to say about this game since that very first E3 tease all the way back in 2014 and before we really get started let's take a second to revisit that.
Bioware teases brand new IP at E3 2014.
It may sound a little mean but, I always find it funny when we get these produced pieces set to hopeful music about the grand future waiting for us just around the corner. That being said regardless of how many times I see them from developers I love they never cease to get me excited for what's coming. Bioware has had something of a rough few years what with Mass Effect: Andromeda being an unmitigated disaster and Star Wars: The Old Republic being… a long story. EA, the publisher for Bioware's games, has not been free of controversy either over the last handful of years. Their most notable, but far from only, debacle being Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and the famous "…sense of pride and accomplishment…" quote. You really have to marvel at a PR statement that is so bad to be that soundly rebuffed by an entire demographic let alone the specific community it was targeting.
Three years, a lot of bumps and roadblocks later brings us to E3 2017 and the official trailer and gameplay reveal of Bioware's new IP, Anthem.
E3 2017 reveal.
Mmph, that dialogue. Never ceases to remind me of the face creasing power of a mouthful of Warheads but without the reward of actually having candy. That aside it was hard to not instantly be pulled in by the impressive visuals, gameplay, and hints at a fully realized sci-fi world from Bioware. There is little point in lying about the fact that I was hooked immediately in spite of the deluge of cautionary, "Yeah, but it's EA." cries from every corner. EA and Bioware's latest string of foibles was still fresh on everyone's mind and there was no getting around that. Things were relatively quiet through 2017 with little details trickling out here or there but 2018 was an entirely different story. Bioware went on the offensive with a steady run of live-streamed content for transparency with a rightly skeptical community.
As I watched the live-streams and read the myriad coverage of the game's progression towards release I was constantly surprised by the number of comments calling it bland, boring or generic looking. I could see some arguments being made in reference to the lack of story information since without it all you have is the game mechanics themselves to hold your interest. People need to know their reason for suiting up and flying around your world blowing up bizarre creatures. The Matrix wasn't sold to people on its revolutionary slow-motion technique alone but rather the story which was bolstered by the cinematography.
Even granted that we had heard some intriguing tidbits that had me engrossed.
The anthem of creation?
Shaper storms?
Fort Tarsis being one of the last bastions of humanity?
What made the world this way? What world are we even on?
New IPs while often a very dangerous proposition for even established studios have the benefit of being wholly unknown, a new frontier to explore and learn about. For me, Anthem had painted the perfect picture to draw me in with just enough information to get me asking questions but not enough to answer them.
On the mechanical side, the game is very familiar having been compared to everything from the very top-of-mind Destiny, who dropped all pretense on the matter, all the way to Diablo. Even if you're playing these games for the story ultimately you're still playing them for the loot because it is an inescapable part of their gameplay and progression.
All this being said, why am I here today talking about Anthem? This past weekend I was able to play in the VIP Demo/Beta and I'd like to chat about that experience. Especially given that there is an open demo weekend coming up where everyone, including folks without pre-orders, will be able to try out the game.
We may as well get the obvious stuff out of the way; the technical problems. The demo was a bit of a mess as Friday started out with the servers being largely unavailable to players because of a somewhat humorous design error. In an effort to make sure people could get in without manually having to retry over and over the game was accidentally designed to DDoS itself. Understandably most folks didn't find this very funny as they had paid by way of pre-orders to have access to the game over the weekend. Eventually, they got it figured out but this was only the first in a series of issues the game would encounter. To make a long list short we'll do it like this –
Stuttering/Lagging/Rubberbanding during play.
Infinite Load – Loading progress would stop at 95% and never progress. Seemed to be linked to folks using WiFi.
Second Javelin unlocks at level 12 – Many players once achieving level 12 were unable to unlock their second Javelin. The game also seemed to have trouble accurately tracking XP gains and levels in general.
Item stat errors both visually and mechanically.
Graphical errors along with enemies spawning and despawning randomly even while engaged in combat.
Immobile NPCs where their AIs seemed to be bugged.
"Connection Error" dialogue box would pop up frequently during play and could only be dismissed by clicking. This would interrupt your control inputs so you would simply stop moving and acting. The error didn't actually disconnect you from the game.
Console players, by and large, being unable to log in and even play for huge chunks of time over the weekend. Partially caused by issues trying to link their Origin and console accounts for access to the demo.
I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting but those were the ones that either happened to me, people I was playing with or were simply the most prominent over the weekend. In the wake of this, I have seen lots of conjecture about the readiness of the game and how much can Bioware really fix in the weeks leading up to release. Not entirely an unreasonable point but it is important to remember that this was a six-week-old build of the game. I'm not offering this as a way to excuse the problems during the demo but simply to point out how much work has undoubtedly been done in those six weeks. Not to mention will be done in the four until release. All things being equal I would have preferred a demo with no problems or just fewer but we've all collectively done enough of these that this shouldn't be too shocking.
A summary of the demo weekend from Bioware's Head of Live Service, Chad Robertson.
Going from controlled closed alphas to even a pseudo-public demo will cause a lot of unexpected issues to crop up which is just an unfortunate reality. This statement certainly won't quell the "I canceled my pre-order!" crowd nor should it, that is their recourse for a rocky demo. It isn't money lost for the consumer because they got the experience they paid for, one that told them their money would be best spent elsewhere. It saddens me to see a product like Anthem, with so much potential, take it in the teeth like that on a demo but that is the risk they take.
For me, personally, the demo rocky as it was had the complete opposite effect on me. Call me a sucker or a shill but I've tried to never judge games too harshly based on demos, betas or alphas. Developers take huge risks in letting us see games early and in potentially broken states. They count on players keeping an open mind and sometimes seeing the potential in what they are trying to do rather than the current reality.
Even four weeks out, one troubled demo weekend down and one more rapidly approaching I still can't help but see the potential in Anthem.
Thanks for reading part one and I'll be back with part two tomorrow. Until then have a great day and happy gaming.

'The Bachelor': Former Sean Lowe contestant linked to Arie Luyendyk Jr.
Arie Luyendyk jr, Selma Alameri, The Bachelor	 February 13, 2013
Mrs. Carter: Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s dating again … and it's another person from "The Bachelor" franchise.
Remember during the premiere, when the IndyCar driver stopped by to give advice to his fellow former Emily Maynard contestant in Sean Lowe? As it turns out, he is now seemingly dated one of the women that Sean sent packing earlier this month. According to a report from In Touch Weekly, Aire is now dating Selma Alameri, the woman who almost went her entire season with kissing Sean before he eliminated her while still in Canada along with Daniella McBride. (He had already sent home Sarah Herron.)
This report alleges that Arie is just out to increase his time in the spotlight by dating her, using the fact that he also briefly dating Ben Flajnik's ex Courtney Robertson for evidence. We don't really want to speculate on that one way or another, mostly because there is something that is often ignored whenever people hate on "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette" contestants dating each other: after you are on this sort of show and are so open talking about your feelings for someone else, it's hard to go out and date again. Jake Pavelka is still saying that the show has made it impossible to meet someone, and famous people don't want anything to do with him.
For those who follow a number of "Bachelor" contestants online, this is hardly a surprise: Arie has been crushing hard on Selma all season long, and the report claims that she has already visited him in his home state of Arizona.
What do you think of this report, and is there a part of you that understands at all why a "Bachelor" star would date someone else associated with the show? If you want to reach some more scoop on next week's hometown dates, you can do so over at the link here.
