Sport is a male-dominated field. But there are females too who are doing their part of the struggle in it. If we have to take a name, Elle Duncan is one. Elle is an American sports anchor for ESPN. The famous TV reporter has remained active in the field from the year 2003.
Praised and honored, she stands among millions of fans. The star of many talents has been named as the Top 25 Women in Atlanta by The Steed Society.
At some point in her career, she was listed as the 50 Most Beautiful Atlantans by the Jezebel magazine.
Elle Duncan's Bio & Career
Elle was born in 1983 in Atlanta, Georgia. Specifics on her parents remains a mystery. However, she occasionally shares throwback pictures that include her father, Clark Duncan and her mother.
Elle graduated with a degree of Journalism from the State University of West Georgia.

Apart from television, she is also a writer and an actor who got to play in the movie called Ride Along in 2014. Being a successful person, she must be enjoying decent pay from her work. Her salary and net worth have not been revealed in the actual figure.
Is Elle Married To Husband?
She doesn't reveal much about her matters on her professional platform. However, she doesn't keep her day-to-day affairs; including her relationships away from social media.
On 9 July 2016, she married actor Omar Abdul Alion. He is almost a mystery-man to the media and public eyes further details on his profession and personality is entirely obscure.
Also, the other details about the pair like when did they begin dating and how long it took for them to turn their love relationship into a marital relationship are also unknown. Before marriage, of course, she must have been engaged with Omar. However, she didn't make any news about it too.

Today the couple live their happily-ever-after, raising their little bundle of joy-Eva(born on 25 July 2018). Elle seems to be on cloud nine when it comes to Eva. Her social media is flooded with the little one's snaps. She even takes Eva to her working set sometimes.???????

What's New Year's Eve Eve without a countdown? Here's a look back at five big moments from 2013.
5. Back in March, we were having a hard time filling a game at Tony Prokes' home in Des Plaines, so out of desperation, I tapped my son Kevin to play. Kevin had been there for the club's first game in September 2005, though he was only 4 at the time. At one point that day, he stood on our front porch and called out to a friend across the street.
"Hey," he said. "They're playing Plomacy at my house!"
Almost eight years later, he finally played Plomacy with us, and he took to the game. He finished a strong second that day, and then topped his next two boards en route to capturing our Rookie of the Year award and a berth in the 2013 Weasel Royale club Championship game.
Three other kids debuted with us in 2013: Callum Mitchell (Pete McNamara's stepson), Whitten Davis (fomer Prime Weasel Chris Davis' son), and Jack Sundstrom (Matt's son).
4. Like son, like father. We introduced the Bar Room Brawl Series in Season Eight, and at the beginning of September, we held the championship game at the Red Lion in Lincoln Square. It was a good night for the Weasels and a better one for me, as I took the title with a 12-center board top.
3. We picked up several active new Weasels in 2013. Josh Heffernan, Matt Kade, Keith Ammann, Ted Phillips and David St. John combined to play a total of 43 games. Heffernan and Phillips both qualified for the Bar Room Brawl championship, and Heffernan also made the Royale as the fourth seed…and became the fourth No. 4 to win the Bull Weasel title.
2. After a down year for CODCon, we rebounded with a solid Weasel Moot. A total of 35 players, including 17 travelers, played on 13 boards as we avoided the post-WDC slump to host the largest tournament on the 2013 circuit. Chris Martin, the original Alpha Weasel, topped it off by winning Moot for the third time, but not before young Jarred Potter, the don of a new mafia from Greenfield, Indiana, made a final-round run at him. We know we can't get rid of Martin. We hope to see Potter and his pals again.
1.Nate Cockerill played in 19 of our 30 games in 2013 and won the Season Eight Weasel of the Year title. In September, Cockerill earned the moniker Myth Chaser by posting the elusive bar game solo. But our No. 1 moment from 2013 came in October, when the Big Oozy captured the North American Championship at the DipCon hosted by the Potomac Tea & Knife Society in Silver Spring, Maryland. Pictured above is a Christmas present Cockerill got from his girlfriend, commemorating his feat.
Thanks to all 52 Weasels who played in our league this year, those who only came out for our tournaments, and to all the travelers who joined us for CODCon and Weasel Moot, for making 2013 a great year for the Weasels. We hope 2014 is an even better one for you.

Q: PHP Notice: Undefined index I'm using Zendesk php class, and the following function is used to delete attachments.
/**
 * Delete one or more attachments by token or id
 * $params must include one of these:
 *        'token' - the token given to you after the original upload
 *        'id' - the id of the attachment
 *
 * @param array $params
 *
 * @throws MissingParametersException
 * @throws ResponseException
 * @throws \Exception
 *
 * @return bool
 */
public function delete(array $params) {
    if(!$this->hasAnyKey($params, array('id', 'token'))) {
        throw new MissingParametersException(__METHOD__, array('id', 'token'));
    }
    $endPoint = Http::prepare(($params['token'] ? 'uploads/'.$params['token'] : 'attachments/'.$params['id']).'.json');
    $response = Http::send($this->client, $endPoint, null, 'DELETE');
    if ($this->client->getDebug()->lastResponseCode != 200) {
        throw new ResponseException(__METHOD__);
    }
    $this->client->setSideload(null);
    return true;
}

According to the comments, either the token or ID is required when running this function.
I have tried using an id
$attachment = $client->attachments()->delete(array('id'=>'1187146218','token'));

However it keeps trowing exception
  PHP Notice:  Undefined index: token in /home/adam/web/srv11/public_html/vendor/zendesk/zendesk_api_client_php/src/Zendesk/API/Attachments.php on line 106

your help is highly appreciated

A: the way you have this written
array('id'=>'1187146218','token')

actually gives an array like this:
array('id'=>'1187146218', 0 => 'token')

so there is no 'token' index. This should work if you just change to
$attachment = $client->attachments()->delete(array('id'=>'1187146218','token' => NULL));

Q: rfc 5766 : Issue when Both devices support TURN I have been going through the TURN rfc 5766 and didn't find explanation to an issue.The rfc talks about ONLY 1 device(client) that supports TURN and the other device doesn't support TURN.
I have certain doubts when both support TURN.I am using SIP protocol.It is assumed that both devices are behind bad NATs(i.e. address and port restricted NATs).
If both devices,say Device A and Device B supports TURN,
1.To which transport address will Device A send its application data?
        a.To its allocated RELAYED ADDRESS.
        b.To remote party's RELAYED ADDRESS.
1.From which Transport Address will Device A receive application data?
        a.From its allocated RELAYED ADDRESS.
        b.From remote party's RELAYED ADDRESS.
Thanks and regards

A: Let's assume there are two TURN servers.  One used by client 1 with IP 1.2.3.4.  The other used by client 2 at IP 5.6.7.8.  Both TURN servers are listening on the standard listening port of 3478.
Let's saying during an ICE or ICE-like negotiation session, Client 1 allocated port 8888 on its TURN server. Client 2 allocated port 9999 on it's TURN server.
After ICE negation, assuming the clients couldn't connect direct, the flow of data between both clients will be ONE of the following

*

*Client 1 sends data packets (encapsulated inside a TURN message) from it's local port to it's TURN server's listening port (1.2.3.4:3478). The TURN server will unwrap this packet and forward the message from its relay port (8888) to the address of client 2.  Data sent from client 2 will be sent as-is to the relay port on the TURN server allocated by client 1. (1.2.3.4:8888).  When the TURN server receives datagrams from client 2 on the relay port, it will encapsulate the packet into a TURN message and forward it from port 3478 to the address of client 1.

OR

*

*Client 2 sends data packets (encapsulated inside a TURN message) from it's local port to it's TURN server's listening port (5.6.7.8:3478). The TURN server will unwrap this packet and forward the message from its relay port (9999) to the address of client 1.  Data sent from client 1 will be sent as-is to the relay port on the TURN server allocated by client 2. (5.6.7.8:9999).  When the TURN server receives datagrams from client 1 on the relay port, it will encapsulate the packet into a TURN message and forward it from port 3478 to the address of client 2.

In other words, if a TURN server was selected, one side will always send/receive data on the TURN port 3478 using the TURN protocol as encapsulate messages.  The other side will always send/receive packets (not encapsulated) to the relay port allocated by the other client.  How does it decide which TURN server to pick? It's not always deterministic in ICE.
In some rare cases, it can go "TURN to TURN". Both client's send/receive data from their respective TURN server's port 3478.  The TURN servers forward the data to the other client's allocated relay address.  This is uncommon, but can happen if all other candidate checks fail during ICE negotiation.

A: The RFC talks about a TURN server outside of NAT and a client behind NAT, which needs to talk to another client also behind NAT. The idea is, that each client connects to a TURN server (not necessary the same), gets an public address from the server and sends this address inside the SIP message (e.g. the SDP body) to the other client, e.g.

*

*client#1 will connect to turn#1 and get public addr#1

*client#2 will connect to turn#2 and get public addr#2

*client#1 sends addr#1 to client#2

*client#2 sends addr#2 to client#1

If client#1 can reach addr#2 directly (usually the case, unless you have a restrictive firewall and not a simple NAT) it will send a packet to addr#2 and thus dig a tunnel into its own NAT. Thus not only packets from client#1 to addr#2 are possible, but also packets from addr#2 to client#1. The result is the following communication scenario:

client#1 <---NAT#1---> turn#2 (addr#2) <---NAT#2---> client#2

Only if direct communication between client#1 and addr#2 (or client#2 to addr#1) is not possible (uncommon, only if both are behind restrictive firewalls) you need to use both TURN servers:

client#1 <--FW#1---> turn#1 (addr#1) <---> turn#2 (addr#2) <---FW#2---> client#2

Thanks to selbie@ for pointing out that usually a single TURN server is enough.

IWC presents the Lewis Hamilton Special Edition
In honour of the six-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, IWC Schaffausen releases a special "Lewis Hamilton" Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition
Lewis Hamilton is a man who has set the ultimate standard in every aspect of his life. From winning the Formula One World Championship six times to never missing a beat when it comes to his personal style and luxurious lifestyle. So it comes as no wonder that Hamilton would finally move to designing a luxury watch for himself. "We've designed a beautiful timepiece which combines two things I am really passionate about –craftsmanship and design – and I am so pleased with the result," said Hamilton. And so are we!
The "Lewis Hamilton" Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition (ref. IW503002) comes in a case made of black zirconium oxide ceramic and a Bordeaux-red dial. The dial is further accentuated with gold-plated hands that works perfectly against the red dial.
According to IWC's head designer, this particular idea of combining gold with Bordeaux-red was suggested by Lewis Hamilton himself. Using the Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar as the centre point for the collaboration was no coincidence as it is one of Hamilton's favourite models. It sits at a generous 46.5mm ceramic case and is powered by the IWC 52615 manufacture calibre.
Strapped to a Bordeaux-red textile strap, the "Lewis Hamilton" Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition limited to just 100 pieces worldwide.

1970 UK Election Map: The One That Took The UK Into Europe
The map above shows the results of the 1970 UK General Election. The number of seats won out of 630 by the major parties (and % vote share) were as follows:
Conservatives: 330. Leader and Prime Minister: Edward Heath.
Labour: 288. Leader: Harold Wilson.
Liberal: 6. Leader: Jeremy Thorpe.
Notable things about the 1966 election include:
This was the first election after the voting age had been lowered from 21 to 18.
New Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath used the election as his mandate to take Britain into the European Communities (EC), which would later become the EU.
This was the last election until 1997 where Labour received more than 40% of the vote.
Some commentators believe that the surprise victory for the Tories can partially be blamed on England losing to West Germany in the World Cup, 3 days before the vote.
One big debate among commentators at the time and historians since has been the role that notorious MP Enoch Powell played in getting the Tories over the line, with some speculating that he was able to reach communities that didn't usually vote Conservative.

Memory Foam Mattress Toppers - Anyone else use them ?
Re: Memory Foam Mattress Toppers - Anyone else use them ?
Yes, Cymro, that's what I was thinking. In the Topaz we have mainly the overcab locker (which holds the extra cushions to make the bed) and the under bench drawer (where we put the duvet) so space is a problem if I buy a mattress topper.
We bought some Duvalays when we had our Trident and they are just too bulky to be used as intended, as for storing them you are stuffed! They work a treat in our Nuevo, although storage is still an issue, initially I stored them under the nearside bed but it was difficult getting them out at night, so we have taken to storing them in the bathroom which is OK if the floor is not wet! They are a really good product but they are extremely bulky which is their only downside for us.
I would presume you would have the same problem with a mattress topper regarding storage (unless it's going to be really thin) then you may as well not bother as anything less than 1" - 1.5" is claimed to be a waste of time.
I've mentioned before that Duvalay are missing a trick by not supplying a small double 4ft Duvalay for camper vans, the market is huge for something like this for van conversions, we have emailed them a number of times to get them on the forum but have given up due to the lack of response, really don't understand these company's as they could learn so much by listening to customers needs and comments.
We have two single memory foam toppers 2 inch thick, which fit neatly side by side, exactly the right width, on top of our double bed. These are rolled up and secured with bungee cords, and stowed on the luton when not in use. These leave only 1 joint down the middle between us instead of the normal multiple joints with the cushions. Opened out sleeping bags are used as covers, normally 1 in the summer and 2 in the winter, we are very cosy even without heating during the night. I never run the gas heater when we are asleep.
understand these company's as they could learn so much by listening to customers needs and comments.
If your going to the Newark show you will be able to call at the Duvalay stand and give them your suggestions direct.
It's great have the Luton front like Murph, no problems with storage or sleeping.
E mail sent to you re Nuevo control panel.
Cymro wrote: Bought a posh memory foam for the MH. Very comfortable. But storage was a problem. We use the central, double-bed arrangement in the Clubman, using bottom fitted sheet and a duvet. With the pillows, they are easily stored in overcab locker. But when the memory foam was added, our remaining storage space was drastically limited - to such an extent that we felt it preferable to tolerate the (admittedly not comfortable) bed cushions and abandon the memory foam so as to be able to store more essential stuff.
So I advise anyone about to buy to pause, and make up a mock-up of the same rolled-up dimensions (e.g. a rolled up duvet) and try storing it with the other bedding.
I suppose it comes down to that age old dilemma Cymro - "What do you take with you when you go away"
Memory Foam toppers. Just buy one!
We had a double memory foam topper in our caravan for three years, it had a fixed bed. It was great. When we acquired our Motorhome the first purchase was two single two inch memory foam toppers and two single duvets. Singles are much easier to handle in a confined space. They were from TJ Hughes before their closure. They offered three different kinds of toppers. One solid memory foam, smooth on both sides, another smooth on one side and "egg box" on the other. The third option was a chipped foam in a nice thick quilted cover. We chose the first option, easier to roll and smoother to lie on. I spotted 1.5 inch toppers at Aldi a short while ago and was tempted to replace our 2 inch ones, due to the compact size when rolled. As ours were fairly new decided to economise and stay with the originals. We used our Amethyst for at least three night at Christmas, after parties! Never have heating on overnight but used a two litre lemonade bottle in a sock, for a hot water bottle. Snug as a bug in a rug!
We have a Vi-Spring mattress at home, purchased at great expense, some years ago. I can really recommend Vi-Spring fr home. The MH seat and memory foam combination is not quite as comfy but more than adequate.
To summerise it's amazing how a two inch thick piece of rubber mattress can improve your sleeping comfort so much.
Said it on a few occasions now - a £30ish Poudstretchers double (or is it king ) sized is a great piece of kit to iron out the edges of the seats - and rolls up to a reasonable size to store above the cab centre locker.
having done a lot of camping, i have found using self inflating mats very good.
they roll up small and are very light.
i have just done my first weekend away in 'meevan' and the mat worked well on the single beds overcoming the cushion joins and upholstery dimples.
probably not useful for double bed option as not wide enough.
Yes I'm calling in at the Duvalay stand, left them a card at the Malvern show and asked if they would contact us and we have since been in touch with them a number of times. Agree the luton would be good for storage but the Duvalays are the only thing we struggle to store really, last trip away for two weeks we only used half the storage available and that was taking more stuff than we actually even needed, they fit snuggly between the sink and the fold out shower partition so not really a problem.
Will check my emails in a bit re the control panel thanks!
Stevo... forget the undies, (not essential) leave them behind... think of the extra space and weight saving!
The single beds on our VW Talent were seriously uncomfortable. purchased 2 self inflating sleep mats from Go Outdoors £34.99, they have done the trick.

I started taking a single 1" thick memory foam mattress topper with me for my Symphony. However it took up over half of the overhead locker space. So leave it at home now and use the space for my duvet and pillows. If space is an issue then think twice before buying. I already had mine as used it in the Doblo.
Our bed history (one for the singles mainly as I try to leave him indoors at home as much as possible).
Although my foam has been checked, the beds in my van were abysmal and hard. I am in fact a bit like the Princess and the Pea and have never had a good night ever in the van!
I variously tried cheaper memory foam options i.e. Dunelm double/singles/side by side/doubled up and then did the same with the Raskelf gold + wide sleeping bag/s. These were stored behind the swivel seats in cab area in the day if him indoors was with me but if alone I left the single made up (passenger side) with both toppers, one on the other.
Easy to travel with this permanently in place but very narrow base of seat width to support it. Great if you're slim but not otherwise as it feels a bit wonky round the edges!
Anyway, I have a cunning plan..... I am going to get a proper caravan divan mattress (in place of the 2 raskelf memory toppers I am using one on the other). - Leaving it made up to travel and in day as day bed with cushions. Will stick one topper on it if still hard.
Hopefully, the narrow seat base will not be so noticeable under a more rigid sided mattress The only down sides I can see are having it sticking up a bit higher than the window bottoms. Don't care - need my comfort!
I could still open the side door last summer and lounged about reading on my single bed. Plus, bit awkward to have visitors - but got small awning now so not a problem.

Fortnite Named The Game Of The Year
by : Julia Banim on : 18 Nov 2018 09:54
Fortnite is Game of the Year. Epic Games
It's been a brilliantly ambitious year for gaming, and so voters at the Golden Joystick Awards no doubt had a difficult decision to make when choosing their Ultimate Game of the Year.
However, the great gaming public have spoken and Fortnite has reigned victorious; beating the acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2, which, despite winning the critics choice award, came in second place.
Third place went to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, during a tense London based award ceremony on Friday November 16, 2018.
Fornite developers and fans will no doubt be delighted by this accolade, but – with so many other phenomenal choices – gamers have been left divided over who the overall winner should have been.
Many gamers were of the opinion that, although Fortnite is enjoyable to play, it cannot be judged in the same category as story-led 'masterpieces' such as God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Some criticised the Golden Joystick Awards for being a 'popularity contest' rather than a true recognition of great gaming, with some even describing the win as being a 'sick joke'.
One man opined:
Fortnite is a good concept sure, BUT NOT A GOOD GAME! It is a game focused on Hype and money and that is it!
Red Dead, Spider-Man and God of War are masterpiece material and you neglected that. Games are not Money or Hype… THEY ARE AN EXPERIENCE AND AN ART FORM!
Another declared:
Saying @FortniteGame is the game of the year is like saying Taylor Swift wrote a master class symphony rivaling Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
It's not in the same league, and shouldn't even be in contention in the first place. Garbage.
However, others have rushed to defend Fortnite's title, citing its influence and well-earned popularity.
One person argued:
Deserve it? Because it was insanely popular, but that is nothing, Fortnite is amazing because epic games hear the community, and everything they've done to the game is thanks to the community, while Overwatch is just a multiplayer game with loveable characters.
Another dismissed the haters as being 'hipsters':
I see, one of them hipsters that think it's cool to hate Fortnite cause it's very successful and little kids and non-gamers like to play it.
Fortnite gets updated weekly and Epic Games literally put hundreds of millions into their eSports and everything.
The awards ceremony, hosted by Danny Wallace, dealt out numerous awards including Best Storytelling (God of War),
Best Competitive Game (Fortnite), PC Game of the Year (Subnautica) and Xbox Game of the Year (Forza Horizon 4).
Would Fortnite have been your first choice? And do you believe the public vote is an accurate marker of excellence in gaming?

A Pasco County man who danced through his field sobriety tests after being found sleeping in his running truck is facing a DUI charge.
HOLIDAY, Fla. (WFLA) - A Pasco County man who danced through his field sobriety tests after being found sleeping in his running truck is facing a DUI charge.
Deputies driving on Grand Boulevard in Holiday early Tuesday morning say they spotted a running truck with its brake lights on in front of a closed business. When they went to check on it, they say they found 33-year-old Christopher Larson asleep in the driver's seat with his foot on the brake.
Body camera video released by the Pasco County Sheriff's Office shows the two deputies knocking on the truck window and shouting several times before Larson finally wakes up.
According to an arrest report, Larson forgot to put the truck in park when he unlocked the door and started to get out. Deputies say the truck started rolling forward and one of them had to jump in and hit the brakes so it wouldn't hit a gate.
Once Larson was out of the truck, deputies asked him to perform field sobriety tests. Body camera footage shows Larson lose his balance and start dancing during the "walk and turn" test.
After deputies arrested Larson, they say he admitted he had been drinking since around 6 p.m. Deputies say he thought it was 10 p.m. when it was actually after 2 a.m. He also believed he was in Clearwater, the arrest report says.
A breath sample showed Larson had a .28 BAC at the time, deputies say - more than three times the legal limit.
He was arrested for driving under the influence and taken to the Pasco County Jail. Online jail records show he has since been released.


I was using Arduino-Makefile to upload code to a Leonardo via its standard make upload. However, it became "stuck" and unresponsive, as Leonardo's sometimes do. I tried power cycling it, and unplugging the USB cable, but nothing worked. So I tried re-burning the bootloader via an AVRISP MkII programmer and the Arduino 1.8.2 IDE, but that only made things worse.
System wide configuration file is "/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"
User configuration file is "/home/chris/.avrduderc"
Software Version = .; Hardware Version = �.
or upload via the Arduino IDE, it makes the Leonardo disappear from USB, and blink rapidly. Pressing the reset button does nothing. I have to manually unplug its USB cable to fix it.
I can program it still using the AVRISP MkII programmer...but obviously that's a huge inconvenience since it takes about 5 minutes just to upload the sample blink sketch, and even then it requires that I first power off the Leonardo, disconnect the programmer, and then power on. For development, where I might need to make dozens of revisions, this turnout is far too slow.
Why am I unable to program the Leonardo via avrdude and USB?
I'm not sure if the first and last command to write the lock bytes were necessary, since they returned the verification error; content mismatch error, but they didn't seem to break anything either.
Oddly, this ran in seconds, whereas the Arduino IDE took almost 5 minutes to burn the bootloader. So I suspect there's a bug in the Arduino IDE that burns an incorrect or corrupted bootloader.
After running this, ard-reset-arduino works correctly, and make upload can successfully upload a sketch again.
It seemed logical to not use Leonardo-prod-firmware-2012-04-26.hex, since that was likely an old and obsolete bootloader based on the date. That left Caterina-Leonardo.hex or Leonardo-prod-firmware-2012-12-10.hex. Unfortunately, checking the commit logs shows they're exactly the same age. In my experience, prod tends to mean the final or production product, so I decided to try that one first and it worked. If anyone knows what Caterina-Leonardo.hex is for and how it differs from the others, please tell me. I don't want to risk breaking my Leonardo again experimenting with this.
The only issue I'm having now is that after I upload my sketch, with uses ROS and about 49% of the Arduino's memory, I again can no longer upload new sketches to it. I'm assuming the sketch's use of the Serial port is somehow stopping ard-reset-arduino from properly resetting it`. However, I the Arduino IDE is still able to upload sketches, so as a clumsy workaround, I can use that to upload the "blink" sketch, afterwhich then I can upload my own revised sketch.

Micah Mattix, author of the very, very useful daily survey of interesting writing, Prufrock (subscribe here), and generally interesting writer himself, mentioned this weblog in today's mailing. This was unexpected but also encouraging.
But, again, he goes too far when he writes that "style and thought are the same." This wrongly elevates originality (which is almost always what Gourmont means by "style") to a degree that in practice diminishes the importance of truth and emotion in a work of art. Gourmont could care less about truth. "Truth tyrannizes," he writes, "doubt liberates." But, contra Gourmont's self-defeating praise of it, doubt has proven just as tyrannical in art and literature as any number of other false truths. Nothing, it sometimes seems, can be expressed today in certain circles with authentic feeling without the risk of being labeled simplistic or naïve.
And here is an item Micah wrote on my writing of the "While We're At It" section of First Things, for which I'm grateful. You can find the ones I wrote here, or rather those I've managed to post.

You won't have to worry about zombies because this isn't a zombie apocalypse, just nature getting back what's hers.

Dying Light is one of the best zombie games of all time you could possibly play. Most post-apocalyptic games will put you in the flesh of the story's hero, but this title is completely different.
You start a government agent, infiltrating the bad guys to get information about the cure for the zombie apocalypse. Your decisions will either deliver it to authorities or make survivors stay alive for one more day.
This story centers on your search for the cure, all while exploring a never-ending map filled with zombie hordes.
After a crash-landed accident, you are met by a few raiders that will beat you up, but you'll be saved by a couple of survivors. They will take you to their base building where your story begins.
You have parkour abilities to run away from the biters, streets, turns, corners, and a solid body armed with tons of weapons to fight them.
Even when it may seem a bit easy during the day, you'll never imagine what happens when the night falls over Harran. Going out after the sun is down is a challenge in its own right.
This title is a first-person shooter with RPG elements and fast-paced combat. As an FPS game, you have plenty of weapons that you can use, from bows to shotguns, MP5, and more.

At TCM, we know that safety is paramount to your material handling operation. That's why our electric counterbalance forklift range has been specifically designed to ensure maximum visibility.
Our Electric 3-4 Wheel Counterbalance truck features an integrated stability support system to ensure operator safety.
Our trucks have also been fitted with new and improved overhead guards, which have been reprofiled to ensure the driver can get on and off the truck quickly and easily.
In addition to this, the step used by operators to mount the truck is one of the lowest available on the market. This reduces the risk of operator injury at the beginning and end of their shift.
Visibility is crucial to preventing forklift accidents and ultimately ensuring a smooth and efficient operation.
We have engineered our overhead guards to be strong enough to withstand heavy loads and protect the operator, while keeping bulkiness to a minimum to ensure everyone in the warehouse can see past it and identify any possible dangers.
The design has been optimised for size, resulting in slim sections, and the roof has been maximised for visibility at all angles. The newly designed mast has also been engineered with greater visibility in mind.
A unique feature of our electric counterbalance trucks is the front panel, which has been deliberately engineered to be lower. This ensures the operator can see in front of them fully, without obstruction.
The trucks are also fitted with small windows to the side. These transparent panels enable operators to see to the bottom of the mast — where the forks are — without moving their head. This safety feature also helps to significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
The FB Electric 3-4 Wheel Counterbalance truck's stability support system includes a weight indicator, which compensates for the forklift speed and optimises stability in response to driver behaviour.
Since it can identify how much weight is on the machine, if the load is making the truck unstable, it will limit the speed and acceleration.
This feature enhances driver safety and lets the operator know when they should be taking extra care while driving.
Looking for a material handling supplier that does more than just sell trucks?
At TCM, we view truck sales as a long-term strategic partnership. As a result, we take a consultative approach to understand your operations, processes, and workforce, and bring in factors including servicing and maintenance to assess the total cost of ownership.
Click the button below to enquire about our electric forklift truck range today and start your journey towards a more cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly future.

Imperial Rites
By Gene Healy
Writing in National Review, Charles C.W. Cooke decries the pharaonic spectacle of the modern presidential funeral. "Whether he was a great man or a poor one, George H. W. Bush was a public employee." In order to honor his passing, Cooke asks, do we really need to shut down the stock market, postal service, and much of the nation's capital for a national day of mourning? The whole business marks "another step toward the fetishization of an executive branch whose role is supposed to be more bureaucratic than spiritual." I'm glad he said it first, but he's absolutely right.
Our first president, ever conscious of the precedents he could set, didn't want an elaborate state funeral. "It is my express desire that my Corpse may be Interred in a private manner, without parade, or funeral Oration," Washington declared in his will.
You've got to respect that—but, of course, we didn't. Instead, "there was a massive public funeral at Mount Vernon," Brady Carlson recounts in his 2016 book Dead Presidents, with a parade organized by Washington's Masonic lodge, including "musicians, clergy, troops, and a riderless horse, a military tradition reportedly dating back to the age of Genghis Khan"—along with funeral orations by four ministers, topped off with "three general discharges of infantry, the cavalry, and eleven pieces of artillery, which lined the banks of the Potomac."
The passing of the ninth U.S. president, William Henry Harrison, the first to die in office, set more precedents still. The interminable inaugural address that supposedly killed him featured Whiggish professions of deference to the legislature and the people–the president as a modest "accountable agent, not the principal; the servant, not the master." Yet, according to the White House Historical Association, 'the 30‐day ceremonials surrounding the death of Harrison were modeled after royal funerals." "There were bells, cannons, and funeral dirges," Carlson writes, the White House was draped in black as "the late president and his casket rode in a black and white carriage pulled by six white horses, escorted by a pallbearer for each of the country's twenty‐six states and held up on a raised dais so the ten thousand people who turned up could see."
We fought a revolution to rid ourselves of kings, but, ironically enough, in the mother country, the sendoff for a former head of government tends to be decidedly less regal. The last British Prime Minister to get a state funeral was Winston Churchill. The pomp surrounding Margaret Thatcher's 2013 funeral blurred the lines, a development the Telegraph's Peter Oborne condemned as a "constitutional innovation… foolish and wrong":
Our constitution is defined by a rigorous separation between the head of state (the monarch) and the head of government (the prime minister). This marks us out from other countries, such as the United States of America, where the head of state and chief executive are merged in one person. As Anthony Sampson wrote in the Anatomy of Britain, the advantage of the British system is that "the head of state could represent the nation with all its traditional pomp and splendour, while the head of government appeared in a more workaday role"
Still, the funerals of other recent prime ministers have tended to respect that distinction, typically featuring no more pageantry than might be accorded any prominent private citizen.
In America, by contrast, presidents are legally entitled to state funerals, whose details are meticulously prescribed in the 133‐page Army Pamphlet 1–1. "Regulations say up to four thousand military and civilian support personnel can take part in state funeral services …. And typically the sitting president announces government offices will close for the day of the funeral."
The president described in the Federalist was to have "no particle of spiritual jurisdiction." Yet there's an unsettling, quasi‐mystical orientation toward government at work in much of the ritual. While lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, the president's body is placed atop the Lincoln Catafalque: the funeral bier constructed for our 16th president–one of the holy relics of the American civil religion. Above him hangs the cathedral‐like ceiling, which features the fresco "The Apotheosis of Washington," painted by Constantino Brumidi in 1865. It depicts the first president "sitting amongst the heavens in an exalted manner, or in literal terms, ascending and becoming a god." I generally find the so‐called "New Atheists" insufferable, but we could use a little of their militant impiety when it comes to our presidential cult.
George H.W. Bush's funeral arrangements have been comparatively modest as these things go. So were Gerald Ford's back in 2007. The man who proclaimed himself "a Ford, not a Lincoln" and toasted his own English muffins was praised once again for his humility because he skipped the horse‐drawn processional. Instead, his 587‐page funeral plan included a motorcade tour of Alexandria with stops at the World War II and Lincoln memorials and a military "missing man" flyover by 21 F-15E Strike Eagles at the burial in Grand Rapids.
The modern presidency, Cooke observes, smacks more of Caesar than of Coolidge. Here, as elsewhere, we could profit from Silent Cal's example. "Coolidge's will," Carlson notes, "was just twenty‐three words long, and his funeral ceremony lasted a mere five minutes." In death, as in life, he was not a nuisance.

Can't stop dreaming about when you'll get your next sugar fix?
Have thoughts of donuts, chocolate ice cream and brownies taken over life?
Sugar addiction has become pretty common in our society.
I'm very familiar with this since I am a recovering sugar addict. I struggled for years trying to free myself from needing my next sugar fix.
It was harming my health to such a degree that it became a matter of life or death for me. I was struggling so much with infections, digestive upset and ultimately cancer.
I finally got a handle on it and figured out how to finally be free from the constant desire for unhealthy, sugary treats.
If you agree to any of these clues, you might have a problem with sugar consumption. Sugar is highly addictive, if you do have a few of these signs, don't worry, you can turn the situation around.
You love having a big donut or muffin with an afternoon coffee. Or maybe you're more of a savory type of person and you enjoy a croissant loaded with cheese or a bag of chips. In the end, it all turns into sugar.
When you get your hands on a big piece of chocolate cake you can't stop yourself from finishing it, even if you're totally full.
You had a nice healthy supper an hour ago, yet you want to snack on some jelly beans, chocolate or a bag of chips even though you KNOW that it's not nutritionally necessary, nor are you truly even hungry.
You buy organic sugar or honey so that you can make excuses and claim that it's healthier. In truth, sugar is still sugar, and you know this yet you can't stop yourself from indulging.
Uh oh, your ice cream stash is empty, there are no more chips in the cupboard. Time to run to the store and stock up, or go for a treat at your local cafe just because you can.
Oh, I'll just clean the kitchen and then I'll deserve to have a slice of cheesecake. I had a rough day, I deserve to eat chips and drink pop for dinner.
This is a big one, if you have a stockpile of unhealthy snacks that you hide from your loved ones, it's time to open your eyes and put down the candy.
No matter what you do it seems impossible to stop. You've tried to quit sugar but only end up feeling horrible and finally you cave into the urge.
Having a sugar addiction doesn't have to have its way with you and bring you to your knees.
I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be this way. With the right strategies, delicious healthy recipes, and guidance from a qualified professional, you can ditch your sugar woes and feel amazing. You'll also want to check out my post where I list seven ways to reduce your sugar cravings with ease.

Have you experienced any side effects from bringing Lily and Edward to the beach?
No and no...it actually helps sooth their feet and calm their allergies. The vet even mentioned, not to long ago, to bring Lily to the beach and get her feet wet. I find the salt water reacting the same way on me as it does on my pups...healing. I do rinse the sand off when we get home.
That's good to know! Now maybe mom will actually take us to the beach!!
I'm soooooooooo glad da answer is NO cuz I love to go to da beach.
Sandy paws are da BEST!
Oh I would luff to go to the beach and get my paws in some sand !
I wish there was a beach near us! I've never ever been to the beach, but it looks like so much fun!
I enjoy going to the beach but we do not go very often (even though it is so close). I must have been gone for too long...your header is different. I like it!
Maybe when it stops raining outside we could go to the beach too.
Oh to go to the beach. We so wish. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Beaches are fun places, and now it sounds like good healing places, too!
DEAR MOTHER; YOU ARE CORRECT..AT LEAST MY MOM SAYS SO.
MOM USED TO GET LOTS OF SKINNED KNEES (SHE CANNOT WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME). SO NEARLY EVERY TIME SHE WENT TO THE BEACH SHE HAD A SKINNED KNEE IT ALWAYS HEALED UP QUICKLY AFTER THAT FIRST BIT OF SALT WATER.
I bet the beach also calms more than just your allergies. It always did me. We do miss the beach, but try to get to it whenever possible. This last August though, I got bit my no-see-ims and it was when I was sitting on the sand. Hope you don't have those at your beach.
We agree, Arty is always tons happier at the beach!!
We think that the Ocean Beach is good fur BOTH BODY and SOUL.
We sure would love to head to the beach and get our feets in some soft warm sand!
The beach is a good place for relaxing the feet.
I didn't know about the salt water.
I will try that reasoning with my people. More beach please!
I miss the beach. Enjoy some for me!
I luv gettin to go to da beach.
I wonder if a salt water bath would do the same for itchies?
So your mom admits to water boarding y'all after a trip to the beach.
Ah, yes, the healing power of salt water. Jan used to love to walk on the beach. We've never seen one. Perhaps if we dig deep enough, we'll find a beach to walk.
Wow, it sounds like it is a kind of Spa visit.
That's great, and lucky you get to go so often!
The salt in the sea air really did wonders for our fur in Germany. We also had the Wattmeer which was the green mud stuff that really softened up our pads.
HER mother's fave home remedy....gargle with salt water. Good for everything. So salty beach water has to be good.
That is very good to know..
We have some salty water down at the springs,, that are good to heal too.

Buy British urges Uttoxeter's MP
Monday 11th February 2013 (Andrew Griffiths)
AN MP has called on shoppers to 'buy British' in the wake of the horse meat scandal.
Andrew Griffiths, who represents Uttoxeter in Parliament, said foreign produce could no longer be trusted in the same way.
His comments came as it was revealed some household food brands on sale in British supermarkets — marketed as beef-based — actually contained up to 100 per cent horse meat.
Mr Griffiths said: "There are two important issues.
"Firstly, we need to look at the animal welfare aspect to ensure horses are not being exported inhumanely to foreign countries for slaughter or mistreatment in any way.
"Secondly, we need to ensure slaughtered horse meat does not get back into the food chain in the UK."
Further concerns have been raised that horse meat on sale in Britain may contain traces of bute, a painkiller given to the animals before they were killed.
Mr Griffiths has written to the agriculture minister asking 'whether he has made an assessment of the way in which the current horse registration system deals with potential food safety issues'.
Mr Griffiths said animal welfare charity Blue Cross did not believe any abattoirs in the UK were slaughtering horses.
However, he added it is suspected many of the animals are transported from Britain to Ireland, Belgium and France to be killed for meat.
The Tory said: "There has been a huge amount of worry among people about what exactly they are eating.
"But the only way of guaranteeing what is in your food is by buying British beef from your local butcher or by buying ready meals that are produced in the UK and contain meat from UK-reared animals."
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has ordered suppliers to test all their products to ensure the flow of horse meat onto British shelves is stopped.
Major supermarkets have removed certain brands after tests showed they contained horse meat, not beef.
The FSA has described the situation as 'completely unacceptable' and warned that criminal prosecutions cannot be ruled out.
