Dream – The Flame Wave
The dream happened as if I were watching a movie, so I saw it in the 3rd person, not 1st as I normally would.
In the dream the end of the world was coming. I believe the dream was inspired by the films These Final Hours (2013) and Melancholia (2011). Though unlike those films this dream began only moments prior to the coming doom.
It was known that the flame wave was coming. A giant wave of flame was crossing the world and most assumed the flame would destroy all life on Earth. While many ran from the flame, one man, who was the star of this dream figured that there was no sense in delaying his fate. So rather than run from the flame as it came he jumped into it. Possibly in hopes to get to the other side of it so quickly that he would survive.
Cut to his survival, but the flame had been so intense that it melted his face. So his face had the appearance of a melted then dried wax candle, and his eyes and mouth were sealed shut. (I believe this imagery was inspired by various screenshots of mutants from the Fallout series of video games.)
Finding himself in a position that he could not see or speak he let out a roar to break apart the sealed skin of his lips and eyes forming a new hole for his mouth. This worked on both the mouth and eyes. He found himself alone in a now barren Earth. There were some remnants of civilization remains of buildings, but not tall or anything like that. And it was hot. While the flame wave had since passed the world itself had become a place of heat, and he was burned, so to sooth the burns he bathed in the waters of the ocean. The water was warm, unlike the real ocean, but it still felt better than the heat of the earth and his burned flesh.
I should note that in the first part of the dream, I think the character was played by Keanu Reeves, and the burned version of the man was played by Vin Diesel (he had no hair on his body as well).
Having bathed for a bit, the man began a journey to find any trace of civilization. On the journey he had companions. A woman that was his former lover, a man that had been a friend, and strangers as well. He spoke with all of them about his failures before the flame wave, about his regrets in surviving the wave. None of them were real. All were just figures of his imagination, and so sometimes some were there, sometimes none were there, and he was alone.
Regarding food, he eventually came across a living thing. It was some kind of sluggish amphibious life form. Like nothing he'd seen before. I think this slug-like creature was inspired by the Kwama Foragers of Morrowind. He grabbed it and bit into it while it was still alive and ate it raw. (The landscape here was very much inspired by the Ashlands of Morrowind with the bubbling swamps and everything.)
Later he would cook them. Though there wasn't much reason to keep a fire for anything other than cooking because the earth no longer got cold.
All the while he talked with his imaginary companions. Eventually he decided to forage for even better food, because he saw much larger creatures in the ocean, swimming near some tall and jagged cliffs. So he forged a spear and waded into the water near the cliffs. I believe his hope was to hunt a single whale-like creature (the appearance of whales but only about 2-3 feet long) so that he'd have food for several days, because the slug-like creatures were only good for a single meal, and even then a light meal.
As we went into the water to hunt the creature the imagined figment of his past lover spoke to him of hope. And that is when the dream ended.

ICC Policy Statement on Making Transport Smarter and Greener (2015)

Transport and mobility are a prerequisite for international trade, growth and prosperity. In order to create a more sustainable transport system ICC calls for global regulations that promote trade, mobility and
competiveness.
International transport continues to become more energy efficient. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of lowering the emissions of the sector. Transport and mobility are prerequisites for international trade, growth and prosperity. Regulations aimed at creating a more sustainable transport system should be global and promote trade, mobility and competiveness. The aim should be an optimized system of transportation overall.
The challenge: Long-term reduction of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
Although contributions to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions vary across different transport modes, their long-term reduction, especially of CO2 emissions, will be a major challenge for all international transport given the relative cost benefits and high energy density of fossil fuels.
Well-designed, predictable and cost-effective global regulations
A greener, low-emission interconnected international transport sector will depend on a framework of predictable, well-designed and cost-effective global regulations and standards. A combination of many often interdependent parameters is required, such as the development of technology, infrastructure, transport logistics and long-term investments in a globalised world economy. In order to create the proper framework and conditions for private investments and innovation, it is crucial to have long-term, predictable, and global regulations.
Free movement of persons and goods must be ensured
International trade — including the free movement of goods and people — which contributes to sustainable growth, depends on an efficient, reliable and well-functioning transport system, both in the short and long term. The free movement of goods and people has to be ensured and regulations should therefore not undermine trade or mobility. Instead, regulations should support the further development of a global, sustainable transport system as a tool for economic, environmental, and social development. To avoid market distortions, this calls for international consistency between national frameworks. ICC therefore cautions against unilateral action.
Focus on energy efficiency
Despite operational optimisation, an increase in international trade might lead to an increase in CO2 emissions in absolute terms due to an increased transport demand. However, focus on increasing energy efficiency could decouple the rise in transport demand from environmental impact. In this context, the transport sector and individual companies' measuring and reporting of CO2 emissions could be a useful tool. It is important to also look beyond technology innovation and take all other factors affecting CO2 emissions in transportation and logistics into account. These include mileage, lifetime of vehicles, and the CO2 content of various fuels. In the near term, efforts are needed to ensure consistent and comparable measuring and reporting standards while recognising the specificities of each mode, in order to make accurate and effective improvements. In the longer term, alternative fuels should pave the way for lower CO2 emissions. However, questions remain about the viability of fuels such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for longer international seaborne voyages, and challenges exist for alternative fuels for sectors such as aviation. Aviation will need a combination of long-term investments in alternative fuels development and diffusion and improvements through new technology and infrastructure improvements.
There are many different technical solutions on the way to a low-emission transport system. Very few, if any, are at present a competitive or politically acceptable alternative to fossil fuels. There are currently a number of disincentives in place that discourage the transport sector from increasing the use of alternative low emission fuels. For example: (1) taxes on LNG fuels for land transport are often equal to those on diesel, and the upfront costs — including the associated taxes — of alternative fuel vehicles are higher as well; (2) regulations on weight and length limits for transport vehicles constitute a challenge for CO2 reductions and the use of alternative fuels; and (3) the lack of an adequate global infrastructure that offers easily accessible low emission fuels. Such dynamics disincentivize companies to switch to more energy-efficient vehicles and lower emission fuels1 . Unless these disincentives are removed, they will continue to increase transport costs and restrict international trade, which in the end will hinder job creation and economic growth.
Land transport is becoming more energy-efficient
There has been a major improvement in the energy efficiency of the land-based transport sector. New cars, vans, trucks and trains use less fuel on average and efficient logistics make it possible to transport more goods with less energy consumption and thus decreasing the CO2 emission per tonne-kilometre transported. The greater use of more energy-efficient railways has contributed to more optimised transport chains linking the different modes of transport in a more climate-friendly way. While railways transported more than 9% of the world's passengers and freight, they generated less than 1% if total energy-related CO2 emissions in 20112. Research and development play an instrumental role in efficiency advances in the transport sector.
…and less polluting
The newest engines in heavy vehicles have also made a significant reduction of emissions of particles and NOx, which contributes to cleaner air, especially in urban areas. For example, a new EURO VI truck emits 97% less NOx than a truck did 20 years ago. Similar efficiency improvements have been made in light duty vehicles through passenger car standards. In the short term, it is possible to reduce emissions even further, but restrictions on weight and dimensions of heavy good vehicles and road congestion are counterproductive to a more energy efficient land transport. The rail transport sector has also made substantial commitments to increase energy efficiency — between 1990 and 2011 the share of railway emissions in transport decreased from 4.2% to 3.3%.

Payette BrewingCompany is excited to add a new beer to their year-round lineup, Aura Guava andHibiscus Sour Ale in twelve-ounce canned six-packs this February. In 2017, this beer was part of a rotating twenty-two ounce Sour Ale bottle series. The Guava and Hibiscus variant stood out among the others, and claimed to be a new favorite. So much so, that it is now added to the 2018 canned lineup.
Payette Brewing has been known for their Lagers and India Pale Ales, so tapping in to the sour category has been a fun journey. The Payette brewers have developed an incredible recipe with the addition of guava and hibiscus making this beer full of tropical notes and extremely refreshing.
Aura Guava and Hibiscus Sour Ale radiates a unique personality. Brewed using living cultures, which gives the beer complex characteristics with an aura of flavor about it that retain amusing, tart flavors. This beer lands at a modest 4% ABV and 9 IBU, is well balanced and incredibly thirst-quenching. Payette is excited to release Aura Guava and Hibiscus Sour Ale on February 16, 2018 at Payette Brewing Company, with the beer hitting taps and shelves shortly after across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Canada.
Founded in Boise, ID by Michael Francis in 2010, Payette Brewing Company is proud to be Idaho's largest brewery. The brewery currently runs a 60-barrel brewing system and offers six year-round beers, seasonal releases, various beers in their Ales of No Return series and barrel-aged offerings. Beer fans are encouraged to follow Payette's social media for the latest updates or visit www.PayetteBrewing.com.
I'm a huge fan of good sour ales (often, for me, the more sour the better), so I'm eager to try this new offering form Payette. It should start arriving on Seattle area craft beer shop shelves within the next couple of weeks. Be on the lookout and pick up a six pack to try.

To help this indigenous community eradicate preventable diseases and keep their community environment cleaner.
For less than €40 per beneficiary, this project will purchase and install the necessary toilet facilities for 50% of San Martin`s households. More than 250 people will be beneficiaries of this project. The project is highly sustainable as each family is responsible for the maintenance of their own toilet. During installation and community meetings, the importance of hygiene will be discussed. Toilet paper and hygienic towels will have to be collected in bags or baskets and burnt at least twice a week. This to avoid filling up the deposit hole and polluting the community environment with toilet waste. The required timber, gravel and sand will be collected from the rainforest around the community. A trained installer from a nearby town will be contracted for toilet-building. PVC tubes, cement and other non-forest resources will be bought in the town of Leticia.
The project will install 40 basic sanitation units built from local resources in this remote indigenous village in the Colombian Amazon.

Nortel settlement may be in sight as Canadian judge denies U.S. bondholders $1.6-billion in post-claim interest
Justice Frank Newbould of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice today ruled that U.S. bondholders who are claimants on the remaining assets of now-defunct Nortel are not entitled to $1.6-billion in interest that accrued after they filed their claim in the bankruptcy
Julius Melnitzer
Justice Frank Newbould of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice today ruled that U.S. bondholders who are claimants on the remaining assets of now-defunct Nortel are not entitled to $1.6-billion in interest that accrued after they filed their claim in the bankruptcy.
The Monitor had previously advised the courts that the post-claim interest was the "elephant in the room" so far as settlement of the proceedings was concerned. U.S. debtors and bondholders claimed to have "settled" the post-claim interest issue in the U.S., but the courts have not yet approved that "settlement." The Monitor is questioning whether that settlement was reached at arm's length.
Regardless of the outcome in the U.S., Newbould's decision may well have brought an overall settlement of the litigation a step closer to reality.
"Subject to an appeal, the fact that there's now an extra $1.6-billion in the pool considerably enhances the chances of a settlement," said a lawyer close to the case.

Logan County Board approves Enterprise Zone Extension
The Logan County Board unanimously approved an expansion to the Enterprise Zone to include two local grain elevators last week.
The Board opted out of voting on a request from the Logan County Tourism Bureau to allow alcohol in Latham Park for the Art in the Park event later this year. The approval would have been subject to the group receiving a temporary liquor license from the city and providing proper fencing. Board member Andy Anderson said that he would be voting against it because he didn't want to set a precedent for having alcohol in the parks.
Issues of security and safety were also raised with regard to the park being in a fairly high-traffic area and whether or not Sheriff's deputies would be providing security for the event. The matter was sent back to the Liquor Committee for further specifications.
The Logan County Coroner's budget was amended to move $5,000 from the "autopsies" line item to the "salaries" line item. The Logan County Safety Complex lease with the City of Lincoln was also renewed.
The Board unanimously approved two items out of the Road & Bridge Committee- a resolution for 2015 contract seal coating for the Orvil, Aetna, East Lincoln and Hulbert Township road districts and a road-use agreement with Ameren that will hold the company responsible for any damages caused during the repair of a transmission line in the coming months between the Fogarty substation and Latham.
As a final matter of business, Chairman David Hepler brought forth a motion to have Anderson and Schumacher serve on the Sports and Special Events Sub-Committee of the Executive Committee.
Hepler also referred to Finance Chair Chuck Ruben the issue of a pending shortage in payments from the state for court reporters. The Board discussed the Community Health Fair that will take place March 28 at the Lincoln Park District, as well as Hepler's visit to Springfield to meet with about 50 other Board Chairmen and Governor Bruce Rauner.
County Clerk Sally Turner gave the Board an informal notice of the primary and general elections that will take place in the months to come as a result of Rep. Aaron Schock's resignation.
Before the meeting was adjourned, Hepler said, "One last thing, they said there will- the question isn't 'are we going to receive less money from the state of Illinois after July 1?' it's just a matter of whether it will be 50 percent or some reduced amount of the cut, so something we'll have to be addressing as we move into budget."
He thanked the Board and acknowledged that they've dealt with some difficult issues recently and said he appreciated their willingness to contribute and have a good dialogue as a Board.

You might notice expiry dates on the bottom left hand corner of some of our coupons. Once those dates pass, the coupons join the "Expired Discount Codes" section at the bottom of the Groupon list. Sometimes Urban Outfitters will extend deals, and accept codes beyond their limit date, so it might be worth giving "expired" vouchers a try. Because this can be unpredictable, the best advice is: if you see a discount code that you like the look of, make use of it sooner rather than later, because it might not be there tomorrow.
We have discount codes for other fashion retailers, so you might want to have a peek at Dead Legacy, Banana Republic and Rebellious Fashion for some other great offers.

A perfect time to release, let go, forgive and trust. The moon is waning and the nights are dark and peaceful, we can turn inward and surrender to our dreams and visions.
Do you have a winged animal that you are especially attracted to? A particular type of bird or butterfly, bat, dragonfly or insect? I would love to draw or paint animals from life, however I often don't have access, so I like to use a photograph that I have taken as a reference. Sometimes that is not possible so I might use an image from a nature book or the internet. Explore some winged creatures and choose something that you love. Focus on the design of the wings, the spread of feathers or network of veins, You might like to draw with a pencil, ink or pen (for a fine detailed line) or feel free to express your wings in any way.
Indigenous cultures believe that everything alive is filled with power and wisdom. Shamans believe that everyone has power animals - animal spirits who are with us adding to our strength, protecting us and sharing their wisdom with us. If you are interested in reading more about shamanism here is a link www.shamanlinks.net Do you already know your spirit animals? You might like to contemplate, meditate or dream of your animal guides today.
Yesterday we opened ourselves to the possibility of our power animal and have had some time to absorb the feeling, purpose and pure instinct of the animal. Now we will express the form. Create a background first with paint, crayons or coloured paper. It could be sunset colours or any colour combinations that you feel the urge to use. To make the animal you need to imagine a clear defined shape, a profile might work, you could use a photograph of your animal to help you remember the form. Use black paper or darken some paper with paint, ink or crayon and cut it out to stick onto the background. You could use your cut out animal and hold it up in front of a light source (sun or moon) to create a photographic silhouette.
What do you need today? An intuitive walk with no planned destination or direction, listening to your inner longing to turn this or that way, allow yourself to be led down a new path... An intuitive painting, not knowing the outcome can give you enormous freedom or maybe you would like to try writing a stream of consciousness (writing any thoughts or emotions that pass through your mind) releasing the creative flow. As you move through the rest of the day you may find yourself flowing with grace.
Have a bit of fun...be silly...play...sing or dance. Release your inner monkey.
Frogs are a favourite of mine and an animal that represents transition and transformation. As this is our last day of moon2mooncreative I wanted to offer something joyous and renewing.

Performance is a major ingredient of productivity. And providing feedbacks or evaluation on employee job performance as a manager or employer is very crucial. This may be an approach to redirect activities, ascertain competency for promotion or as a step to improve corporate standards. Most companies devote an hour or more annually to conduct an employee appraisal meeting. To mention a few of the benefits, workers are able to clearly understand their roles, personal strengths, the areas they need to develop and the level of professionalism required in office relationships through employee performance reviews.
Failing to conduct performance appraisals makes the work uneasy. It decreases management credibility, work morale, and organizational effectiveness in general while also forcing the management to waste time doing what employees have failed to do properly. Managers that fail to appraise an employee's performance, creates a gap between the needs of the organization and that of the employee.
While considering employee performance reviews as a major course of driving productivity, it's also important to note that some are not as effective as they ought to be. There are major standards on how to conduct performance appraisals. This includes performance standard and the performance appraisal structure. To create and maintain a viable performance review framework, managers must inform the employees of their value, recognize their accomplishments, develop an honest and a fair feedback track record, and show consistent treatment for all employees.
Employees are supposed to know how they have performed already before the organization could conduct performance appraisals. There should be existing performance standard already which managers must use to continually coach and provide feedback to employees prior to the appraisal meeting; it shouldn't be a surprise at all. Then, on the performance appraisal structure, there must be established goals for every appraisal system. These goals will be disclosed below in one of the steps on how to conduct an employee appraisal meeting.
Above discussing performance, what do you stand to achieve after appraising an employee's performance? Consider yourself unready to conduct an employee appraisal meeting if you have not established the appraisal purpose or resolved a way forward for the employees with some challenges. You need to have a close review of past appraisals for employees that are having one or two performance challenges. If they have failed to develop in an area where you have previously advised, consider figuring out the new models on how you can help them. If possible, discuss with the employees to come up with a resolution before conducting the meeting. To guide you in creating goals for the employee performance reviews, the following are important in setting up goals for an appraisal system.
Having established a goal for the appraisal, the next step is to create an agenda for the meeting. You can imagine how meetings would run if there is no agenda. This is also a meeting. Your agenda should be designed to guide you in the flow of your discussion and activities in the meeting. It should help you to effectively cover every topic you have planned to address.
Because your employee performance review will be designed as a two-way conversation, you should involve the employees. Send a copy of your agenda to the employees and invite them to provide their own points for discussion. Not considering the employees' points would disrupt your time management or the entire appraisal meeting when they introduce many points not on the agenda during the meeting.
Sharing agendas will allow you and the employees to prepare better for discussion on the points. For instance, if your employee brings a pay rise for discussion, you will be able to prepare and check records on when last the employee's pay was reviewed and if there are merits that should qualify the employee for a pay review instead of being totally unprepared at the meeting.
Before this discussion, you must have on your own outlined the areas that require improvement by the employees and the measures that would be necessary to take in meetings their objectives. Before providing your suggestions, you are advised to ask for the employees' opinion first. It is possible that they have already made conclusions similar to your idea on how to improve. Perhaps, they require a permission from you or something else to start on the development.
Remember that your discussion should always be referred to the existing performance standard. Most importantly, how you bring in the challenges matters a lot. Employees feel demoralized when you neglect their past success or the areas they have performed very well. You should start the discussion with the successes they have made before chipping in the challenges to help them see that your biggest desire is for them do well.
Even as the appraisal is reflecting on elements of the past, your objective should focus more on the future development and action. What hasn't been done well should only serve as a springboard to developing a way to move forward and how the employees can achieve their objectives and contribute effectively to the organization's goal. This motivates the employee more prolonging blames for not doing well. Appraisal process motivates only 20% of employees according to a study reported by breathe. This shows that employers put very little or no effort on employee development.
Finding out how the employees are positioning themselves to be useful in your company is also important during the performance appraisal. You should find out what plans the employees have for their careers and the skills they are looking to acquire to discharge their duties effectively. Just find out if they also align with your company's goal.
To facilitate the employee growth and development, you must reach an agreement with the employee on the next line of action. This should be based on the performance review result. With the in mind, the plans to be set must be achievable and both parties must be involved in the plan to make it more effective. Any action plan agreed on must have deadlines and a means of evaluation.
Summarizing all that has been discussed is an ideal way of concluding the meeting. Also, remind those of outstanding actions for a way forward about their fresh commitment. It's better to plan when next you would meet again for another performance review. Whilst this helps clarify the employees on their ability to give feedback, it also allows you to initiate regular checks on the employees and a feedback habit.
Knowing how to conduct an employee appraisal meeting is a big advantage because it helps you to achieve the goal of conducting one. This will also boost your organization's chances of attracting and retaining the best talents since your employee performance appraisals will also show that your employees have a future in your company.
Workaholic Americans are not taking vacation days: Are you one of them?


Do You React or Respond To Life's Situations?
In any situation, there are always two choices we can make – we can react to it, or, we can respond to it.
What is the difference between reacting or responding?
You are driving. You find yourself slowing down to an almost grinding halt. You are now stuck in a traffic snarl up. And so what are the typical sound effects for such a scenario? Motor horns honking, shouts of frustration from some drivers who've wound down their windows to let the world know of their frustration. A rumble of discontent all around, some muffled, some not.
What this is, is a classic example of people instantly giving an emotional reaction to a situation over which they feel they have little or no control over. Generally, dealing with a scenario in a blind reaction type way, rarely helps. (Though not always, as you'll read a little further on) Frustration, and perhaps the feeling of helplessness, simply builds and grows, rather than to dissipate and fall away. And the inevitable result of that? A general carry-over of frustration, misery and anger – that's then taken in to the workplace, the home, the retail outlet or wherever a person has to get to next.
So, what's the alternative to a caustic or emotional reaction?
The alternative is to give a less charged emotional response. And that's done by taking a little more time to interpret one's thoughts and perceptions about the scenario.
So instead of the usual… 'why me… not another clog up… why does this always happen… can't these people get off the road… I'm going to let the car in front of me have it…' the alternative way to making instant & reactive comments or actions, is to reframe and rethink the thoughts we ourselves have created to label the situation as we see fit.
What could be possible alternative thoughts to the ones described above?
Just a shift of thought in how we see a situation, and then our responses to it, will either have us in a positive frame of mind, or… deep inside a caustic, reaction based solution where everyone else it to blame, but us.
So when we're in a frame of mind where we are consciously aware of our thoughts and aware of our conscious next-step choices… we're in a more solution oriented mode. And in the case of the traffic clog up… that might mean calling ahead to let people know what's happened. It might involve planning an alternate route to in order to avoid the congested route the next time we need to drive through the same area.
This ability to choose our thoughts and actions instead of depending on others to create our moods and happiness, leads to our creating our own happiness… in the moment, doing what we can do to keep ourselves happy, relaxed and stress free.
How Can We Develop More Considered Responsive Thoughts, Actions and Behaviors?
Before showing how to tune up our response making muscles, there are times where an instant unthinking reaction will be exactly what's needed. For example, if there's a fire in your home and you have to get your family or relatives out fast, you'll most probably do it without consciously thinking and planning what your next actions will be – you're most likely whirling away like a mad person, not paying any real attention to the possible responses or options, not caring about your own health and safety.
So what can you do to start developing your responses to most everyday situations and scenarios?
The answer is to have a series of questions that'll in turn, help guide your thinking and then give you possible options, responses and solutions to your next actions and behaviors.
Whether we react blindly or respond with awareness and accuracy, we're continually asking ourselves questions about the problem, scenario or situation.
When we react blindly to situations, we're unaware of how fast we're asking the wrong questions…and then, at blinding speed, process and act in accordance based on those questions. That's a recipe for potential danger, yet, we're generally unaware of what takes place inside our minds and brains in that short space of time between the stimulus, and… our response.
And on the other side of the coin, when we respond to the same situation with awareness and by giving ourselves the time and space to ask the kind of questions that'll help us create a happy response or solution, the resulting situation or scenario is a fluid and pleasant one.
Helping you to develop the habit of responding in a measured and accurate way to any situation where possible conflict or emotional angst occurs, is a skill that needs regular practice. And you can begin that practice by using and incorporating the 5 questions in this article to any situation you intuitively know causes you frustration and anguish. Of course, if you want to master these skills at a higher level, an appropriate and suitable coach will help you reach your goal, faster.


The book 'Funnily Enough' is largely set at my parent's house in the Cotswolds, revolving around the real life antics of my mother in 1991. Twenty-four years later she is still going strong.
Having recently appeared in Broadchurch, playing Charlotte Rampling's ancient mother, Mum has just finished filming Cold Caller, a short film by Philip Cook, shot on location in her own garden, which was very convenient.
It is a chilling tale shot by Matt Bigwood and produced by George Collings. Mum plays Marjorie, an old lady who receives a call from a certain security expert who does not take his gloves off when he accepts a cup of tea. It is soon clear why the director wanted to use a garden with a deep lake.
It has been fun following the development of this short film in the press and on Facebook.
How exciting for your mother! I saw her in Broadchurch and remembered what you had said about it. Now that she's in another film, which I may not get to see, but more power to her as I know she enjoys it. She's the perfect actress for the parts she's playing!


First things first, we make a fire! It gets really cold on the west coast, so we need to make sure our writing cave is nice and cozy. We're both Christmas obsessed so we light a scented candle (Sweater Weather from Bath & Body Works is a fav!) and put a soothing background video on the TV. Then we sit down and get to work, whether that means drafting, editing, doing promo or bookkeeping, or the best: plain old writing! We'll take a break for lunch and try to go for a walk to get some fresh air. We do our best brainstorming when we're outside walking, so that's a bonus. Then it's back to work until it's time to stop for dinner!
That's the first I've heard of fire as part of a writing routine. Cushions on a couch, sure. Coffee and pastries, yup. But fire? I suppose as long as it's in a fire place, why not?
For my part, I need to clear the deck: respond to emails, get social media out of the way, just feel like nothing wants my attention…and then I'm ready to write.

Unwritten laws: New book illustrates rules of the Torah
By Allegra Hobbs
Photo by Louise Wateridge
Colorful commandments: Artist Archie Rand has illustrated all 613 Jewish laws outlined in the Torah with bold acrylics. He will read from a book collecting the paintings at the Read Brooklyn festival at the Brooklyn Museum on March 12.
It is a Torah of many colors.
A local artist will discuss his newly-published illustrated guide to the 613 Jewish laws outlined in the Torah at a Brooklyn Museum book festival on March 12. The artsy scholar says that his brightly-colored images provide a much-needed counterpoint to the words of the scripture.
"Judaism is a religion of stories — Jesus told parables, and that's very Jewish," said Archie Rand, who will read the introduction to his book "The 613" at the museum's first-ever Read Brooklyn authors fair. "Those things seem to need an illustrative context."
Rand, who grew up in a Jewish household, spent five years creating 613 acrylic paintings to accompany each of the religious laws. He finished the project in 2008, but only now have the images been collected into an enormous book, with one image on each page.
The book has gotten a big response, but his work has not always been well-received. When Rand painted a mural for a Brooklyn synagogue in the 1970s, he faced significant backlash from the Orthodox community, who objected to any form of religious imagery. The reaction only increased his desire for visual aids to the Torah, but the work is not supposed to be a theological statement, said Rand — instead, it represents his personal, artistic itch.
"The statement I'm making is to myself," he said. "I thought, there's stuff here that should exist, but doesn't. I did it for that reason."
Rand is one of four authors at the festival who will host intimate readings of their work — each doing so in front of a piece of art that reflects their books. Rand will introduce his tome alongside a sculpture by artist Sol Lewit of continuous, interconnecting boxes that mirror how the faithful read and re-read the Torah.
The Brooklyn Museum's book festival will celebrate 40 emerging local authors whose works speak to the borough's cultural diversity and constant change, said the organizer of the first-time fest.
"I think that's really going to reach out to the Brooklyn community, because we've all grown up here and lived our lives here," said Sallie Stutz. "It's reflecting upon the diversity of the people we share everyday life with."

Sheraton Addis
Hotel chain The Luxury Collection
Opening 29 February 1998
Owner Angel Rodregiez
Location Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Cost US$200 million
Address Taitu Avenue, Arada District
The Sheraton Addis is a hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It is part of Starwood's Luxury Collection. It has 293 rooms, as well as a number of villas.
Labour dispute
The hotel was built by MIDROC Ethiopia, and designed by architect Kosek Ivo . Sheik Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi, built the hotel as a way of creating jobs and promoting the country's image- saying that he is "investing in Ethiopia by following my heart, not my head". The hotel cost over $200 million to build, and over 500 families had to be relocated for its construction. It opened on 29 February 1998, and has been considered one of the country's leading hotels. The hotel is located between two palaces, the National Palace (formerly the Jubilee Palace), which is the residence of the President of Ethiopia, and the Menelik Palace, residence of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia.
The hotel has hosted countless high-profile events, including Pan-African and African Union summits, as well as New Year's Eve celebrations with special performances by world-renowned artists such as Beyonce, Ludacris, The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna and Akon, among other guests.
The hotel has been host to a number of celebrities, including the aforementioned performers; indeed, most, if not all, choose to stay in the Sheraton when in Ethiopia, according to The Independent. Among the many guests include Tony Blair, Rita Marley, Anne, Princess Royal, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton.
Confusingly, the Sheraton Addis is not part of the Sheraton hotel chain, but rather Starwood's The Luxury Collection. (A search on Sheraton's website will claim that "There are no Sheraton hotels in [Addis Ababa]") When it was built, it was to be within the ITT Sheraton Luxury group. However, Starwood, which bought Sheraton later in 1998, spun off the Luxury group as a completely different chain. There are four other hotels in the same situation, operating with the name Sheraton, but not technically part of Sheraton. Those hotels are the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit (Bangkok, Thailand), Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan (Sofia, Bulgaria), Sheraton Algarve Hotel (Albufeira, Portugal) and Sheraton Kuwait Hotel & Towers (Kuwait City, Kuwait).
In February 2011, a labour dispute over compensation threatened to close the hotel. In late 2010, a union was formed at the hotel, and in December got involved in a dispute of the distribution of profits from service charges. The workers, who were already the most well-paid hotel employees in the country, taking home 5,337 Ethiopian Birr (US$283) on average per month, felt that the sharing of the service charges was not sufficient. The union argued that management should be excluded from the proceeds which would increase salaries by 52 birr. Sheik Hussein said that he felt "unappreciated and unrecognised" for his "generosity to employees of the hotel", and threatened to close the hotel for expansion work. The crisis was solved before the 15 February deadline.
42 hectares across two districts- Kirkos and Arada, was acquired by the hotel in 2004 for an expansion project, that would contain retail, a mosque, and 8050 apartments. The program was stalled, however, due to the city's inability to find funds to relocated the over 3,000 households that were to be displaced by the project. In 2010 MIDROC gave the municipality 151 million birr to expedite the process. As of 2013, the land has been cleared but construction has not begun.
An additional 5 hectares has been set aside for the construction of a new 9-story hotel wing of 25,000 m2 containing extended stay apartments. Also included are villas, bungalows, as well as a 31,400 m2 health centre, in response to guest complaints about the paucity of health facilities. The health center will contain Olympic and outdoor tennis courts, an olympic swimming pool, restaurants, a soccer pitches, and a basketball court. This project is projected to cost $127 million. As of 2013, construction has begun on the health centre.
The hotel has over 1,500 square meters of function space over 11 conference rooms, allowing for a capacity of 1,500 person at events. The hotel provides an array of dining options including Italian, French, Indian restaurants, as well as a poolside restaurant and all-day dining international restaurant with 5 bars and lounges.
The hotel's health club, the Aqva Club, includes outdoor swimming pools, sauna, massage and Jacuzzi. A special feature of the pool is its underwater music. Within the Aqva Club is also found the special Simba Club, the children's playground. However, the health club has been criticised in many reviews as having minimal facilities, leading to expansion plans.
The hotel has a nightclub, called The Gaslight. The Sheraton Addis is the only hotel in Ethiopia to have a water treatment plant using an ultra-violet water sterilization system, which ensures sterilization and bacteria free purification of water. It has a number of generators, meaning that the hotel is never affected by the power cuts and load shedding that plague Addis Ababa.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jun 7 (PRIME) -- Russia's central bank can so far do without raising the key rate, and its slower decline is possible, Chairwoman Elvira Nabiullina said at a congress on Thursday.
"Despite the rate reductions that have taken place, our policy remains moderately tight, that's why we have some room – we can so far do without increasing the rate. We can lower the rate at a slower pace if necessary. But we do not see such risks of a rate hike so far," she said.
In late April, the regulator kept the key rate unchanged at 7.25%, while the next meeting on the issue is scheduled for June 15.

Criminal Event
2007-087-120809-0009
TF 2FURY (2-508)
2-508TH / WARRIOR
Total casualties 1
Civilian killed 1
42SUB7768615352
271000Z TF 2 FURY REPORTS BEHEADING IN GELAN
SUMMARY- On 27 MAR 07, B Co/ 2-508 arrived north of Ghazi Kheyl at 1000Z after receiving reports at FOB Warrior of a beheading in the vicinity of the pressure plate IED our 3rd PLT struck on 22 MAR 07. B element arrived at the site (42S UB 77686 15352) and found around 20 local nationals gathered around the body of Mohamad Zahir Khan from Babud. They attempted to talk to a village leader, but could not find one. The main person they talked with was Mohamad Shah, the victims uncle. He gave the victims name, hometown, and that he was killed by the Taliban late at night on 26 MAR 07. While many local nationals (LNs) agreed that the victim was killed by the Taliban, none knew anything about the incident. The ANP chased away approximately 10 (LNS), insisting that the LNs knew exactly what had happened. These 10 LNs retreated northwest to Hasan (42S UB 772 156) The victim was covered lying on the ground, feet lying towards the east. His head was placed on his abdomen, and oriented towards his feet. The body had not begun to smell or show decay and the medic found no bruising or lacerations on the torso, hands, or head or the victim. His body was left only a few feet from where the IED that hit our 3rd PLT was planted. Two Night Letters left with the victim stated that the victim had worked for the Afghan Government in Gazni and expressed pro- Coalition sympathies. He had recently preached against the Taliban at a local mosque. As a punishment for his association with the Afghan Government and Coalition forces, the victim was beheaded. The letters also stated that anyone who moved the body would also be killed. As a result, our medic placed the body in a body bag and turned it over to the Gelan ANP, in accordance with the uncle''s wishes. The victims uncle and the Gelan ANP placed stones over the site where the victim was left by the Taliban. ASSESSMENT- B/2-508 PIR believes there is a strong Taliban, anti-CF cell operating in a 6x6 km area east of Hasan. This is supported by recent attacks against US forces in this area dating back to last fall, to include coordinated ambushes, several IED attacks, weapons caches findings, and attacks against local nationals. Intelligence also suggests that there is a Taliban C2 element led by vetted target Jamaal Uddin, operating out of Spedar (42S UB 813 157). FUTURE ACTIONS- In order to ensure security in this area and promote economic progress, B Co will conduct overwatch positions in areas of known Taliban activity and will utilize the ANP to help capture or kill Taliban operatives in the area. In addition, B Co will conduct in-depth PMESII assessments of Hasan, Ghazi Kheyl, Spedar, Khtak, and Lawang, in order to help improve the quality of life in these villages and flush out Taliban operatives.

Bitwise operators have been added to the Advantage SQL engine. The full list of supported operators is below. I included some example values demonstrating the result of each of the operators.
These operators can be very useful in resolving a bitmask. For example the Advantage Index Options are defined as a bitmask. The table to the right lists the index options and their associated values. Each of which corresponds to a particular bit value. These options can be added together to define the index type. For example a primary (candidate) key index would have the option 2051 ( Unique + Compound + Candidate ).
Since each of the option values are represented by a specific bit we can use the binary & operator to determine if a particular bit is set. Using our example value for a primary key 2051, we can determine which options have been selected using the & operator. For example IF ( 2051 & 2048 = 2048 ) we know one of the options is Candidate.
The user defined function (UDF) shown below accepts an index option value and returns a string description of the options specified.

Film Review: "Allied" (2016).
"Deception is an art. Truth is a test. Is love a lie?" This is Allied. This war film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Steven Knight. The film follows Max Vatan and Marianne Beauséjour who are World War II operatives who never reveal their true identities. After falling in love during a risky mission, they hope to leave all that double-dealing behind them and start new lives. Instead, suspicion and danger envelop their marriage as both husband and wife become pitted against each other in an escalating, potentially lethal test that has global consequences.
In early February 2015, Paramount Pictures and New Regency announced that Robert Zemeckis was to direct an untitled World War II romantic thriller, in which Brad Pitt would star and Steven Knight to pen the script. In early June 2015, Marion Cotillard was cast to play a spy along with Pitt, who fall in love during a mission to kill a German official. In August 2015, Knight said that the film would be based on a true story told to him at the age of twenty-one, and also that the shooting would start in January 2016. By February 2016, Jared Harris, Matthew Goode, Simon McBurney, Lizzy Caplan, Anton Lesser, August Diehl, Charlotte Hope, and Raffey Cassidy. At the same time, principal photography commenced, and wrapped in late May. Filming took place in London, England and Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. For the film's costumes, Casablanca (1942) and Now, Voyager (1942) were the inspirations, in terms of how they combined both simplicity and beauty.
The film stars Pitt, Cotillard, Harris, Goode, McBurney, Caplan, Lesser, Diehl, Hope, and Cassidy. This cast, especially Pitt and Cotillard, almost made the film watchable. It's just that the script and direction didn't do them much favours. There's a certain distance with which you view the characters, the involvement is not such that they stay with you after the film. We didn't really get heroes, not even flawed ones. Pitt, our marquee man, chases through numbing plot contortions only because of his lust for Cotillard's Marianne. By the time the film ended, I had barely a clue if the good ones had lived or died.
A beautifully flawed experiment, Allied is an entertaining if unbalanced war drama that places modern cinema mores on a classic style of American film when the Hayes code would never have allowed such overt sexual reality. The film is a movie wonk's triumph and no one else's. Zemeckis gets the visuals right but not the clean storytelling line of classic cinema, nor the iconic characters or moral certainty of the oldies. It is a homage to the romantic war films of the 1930s and 40s, a tribute that tries hard but, alas, misses the mark. While admirable as an example of directorial innovation and homage, the film fails to connect on a basic emotional level. Allied is the bad movie. Except for the ambience - the look of the film - it stumbles awkwardly on every level.

Film Review: "The Neon Demon" (2016).
"Beauty isn't everything. It's the only thing." This is what it takes to be in the world of The Neon Demon. This psychological horror film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, co-written by Mary Laws, Polly Stenham, and Refn. When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.
Originally working on a project entitled I Walk With the Dead, that would have starred Carey Mulligan as the lead, with Mary Laws, Nicolas Winding Refn decided to develop a psychological horror script about the modelling world in Los Angeles instead. Inspired by Elizabeth Báthory, the film would mark the first female-led film directed by Refn. In November 2014, Refn's production company Space Rocket Nation alongside its co-financiers Gaumont Film Company and Wild Bunch announced that Refn's next film would be titled The Neon Demon, to be filmed in Los Angeles in early 2015. Mulligan later dropped out of the project due to scheduling conflicts. Refn then approached Elle Fanning to replace Mulligan. In January 2015, Fanning joined the film, and helped Refn with revisions of the female characters' dialogue in order to make it sound more authentic. Refn made Elle Fanning watch Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) for her preparation. In the same month, Abbey Lee Kershaw was added to the cast. In February, more cast was added to the film, including Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks, Jena Malone and Bella Heathcote. In March 2015, Karl Glusman and Desmond Harrington were added to the cast. Principal photography on the film began in Los Angeles in March. The film marks Refn's second feature film shot in Los Angeles. The film was shot in chronological order, and the ending was created and improvised on-set. Abbey Lee served as a unofficial advisor for the film, regarding details about the fashion world. Lee gave Refn intel about how an audition for models would play out, down to the things that the casting directors would have on their table. Lee also taught Fanning how to do a proper catwalk as a professional model would do. Fanning, Malone, Heathcote, and Lee had to endure a lot of fake movie blood during production, even having to taste a portion of it. The crew made it taste like syrup, in order to make it more pleasing for the performers. In November 2015, Amazon Studios acquired the distribution rights to the film.
The film stars Elle Fanning, Karl Glusman, Jena Malone, Bella Heathcote, Abbey Lee, Desmond Harrington, Christina Hendricks, and Keanu Reeves. The cast gave abysmal performances where the film's characters are non-people; the things they say to each other are non-conversations, the events they enact are non-drama.
Director Refn remains as visually stylish as ever, but The Neon Demon fails to add enough narrative smarts or relatable characters to ground its beautifully filmed depravity. The film is an abstruse, neon-dunked nightmare that spits in the face of coherence and flicks at the earlobes of good taste.
Simon says The Neon Demon receives:

U.S. Trip: Los Angeles - Day 8
Guillermo del Toro is one of my favourite directors. So to find out there was a LACMA exhibition on his work during my time in LA, it was a no brainer for my eighth day.
Del Toro is indeed one of the most imaginative directors of his generation who is sadly not making enough movies that he should. Known for his imaginative worlds and out-of-this-world monsters, del Toro is one of, if not, the leading directors of horror and fantasy. In his filmmaking career, del Toro has alternated between Spanish-language dark fantasy pieces, such as The Devil's Backbone (2001), and Pan's Labyrinth (2006), and more mainstream Hollywood fair such as Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), and Pacific Rim (2013).

Q: What naming convention do I use for scripts in package.json? In package.json I have this script name with two words lint and fix. How should I make a right name?
There are options:

*

*lowerCamelCase - lintFix

*UpperCamelCase - LintFix

*snake_case - lint_fix

*kebab-case - lint-fix

*gulp-style with a colon delimiter - lint:fix

*Any another delimiter.

What option is right? And why?

A: You can use a mix of both dash and colon. Dash for chaining words, colon for grouping similar scripts. Example:

*

*lint:check

*lint:fix:all

*lint:fix:staged-only

A: There is no official naming convention. Before npm@v4 standard scripts had only one word, for example test, start, prestart. npm@v4 introduced a new script prepublishOnly*.
So now, the best practice is use lowerCamelCase.
*Reference: https://iamakulov.com/notes/npm-4-prepublish/

A: Please always use kebab case. The colon is a throwback to gulp, and it looks terrible. I hate it.
Disclaimer: My opinions are often wrong.

A: Looking at npm itself, as in galkin's answer, seems like a good idea. But ironically, while the npm script prepublishOnly is lowerCamelCase, most scripts in the npm GitHub project are in kebab-case:
https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/latest/package.json.
One may also want to look at the most depended-on npm packages: https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended. Many of the top packages there use kebab case, with the notable exception of lodash, which uses colons.
Update: There is also a convenience aspect which can matter more than one might think: it is more pleasant to type delimiters that don't need the shift key. At least on US, UK, and German keyboards, this too speaks for kebab-case.

pfostorehouse.com - Big Update! Company Support
pfostorehouse.com - Big Update! Company ...
It's been a long time coming, and it's finally here - support for companies! By "companies", I mean player groups of any size or makeup, and there is support to be a member of as many as you wish. Creating a company is also easy, and both creating and joining companies can be done from the Account page.
I also added some other features, which you'll see throughout the site. The map now has icons, and if you mouseover settlements it'll tell you which settlement it is.
A note on data sharing: You now have the ability to turn off publicly sharing your logs on the Account page. Your logs will also follow you. If you don't share them publicly, and you leave a company, that company will no longer see the data from your logs on the map or resources pages. Besides the public option, the only people who can see your data are members of any company that you're a member of.
Please, play around with it, have fun, and I hope the Storehouse continues to be useful to the community. As always, if you have any feature requests or ideas, or any bugs to report, please let me know.
https://www.pfostorehouse.com

Thorgrim,
Thanks for the enhancements to pfostorehourse. With these new features I can see myself using the tool a lot more, and finally posting my "finds" as I go along. Great work on behalf of the PFO community.
Malmooch
Just a clarification, since it came up in discussion just now. If you choose not to share your data with me, I will not see it, at least not in its aggregate form. The system is now set up so that you are in control of who sees your data. In the near future I'll set it up so that Goblinworks employees can see all of the data, just like they used to be able to when the system was settlement-based last year, but they will be the only ones.

Forum Warriors at their peak, striding the battlefield knee deep in the bloody, broken arguments of their adversaries before the burning village of their credibility….Chill guys. "
May have to check this bad boy out at some point
I'm taking a look at the way that logs are entered. Do you guys like the way it currently is, or do you think a simple alphabetical list with four boxes to the right of each resource, for the prefixes, would be better? In that case, I could set it up so that focus is in the first box (Adamantine Ore {True}) and then tabs that could go first to the right through all four prefixes and then down to the next item (Anagogic Essence {Uncanny}). Right now it's listed alphabetically in each column, which represents each Tier.
As a separate consideration, how do you feel about not displaying things that shouldn't spawn in that hex? For example, mountain hexes do not have scavenger nodes in them, and so there are some things that do not ever drop out of nodes in mountains.
I feel like the logs should be as easy to enter as possible, to encourage more people to submit more logs, and thus enrich the data for themselves and their companies. So what do you guys think is easier?
I got a request to add a PayPal donation button to the Donate page, so this morning I went ahead and did that. Now there are two options to donate, Stripe and PayPal.
The Eternal Balance 08.14.2016 05:31
The Balance is not sure if this is possible, but we would like the Storehouse to be more intelligent. Allow us to explain:
When we ask Storehouse to show us where all the Adamantine is (for instance) it tells us that each meteor hex has a 100% chance of giving Adamantine. This is not entirely true however, as you do not get Adamantine on each harvest of a node in those hexes. We understand that it says 100% because it is the only T3 resource in those hexes, but could the program be smarter, so that it knows that if we are a T3 Miner it will show the true % of Adamantine in that hex relative to ALL the mining resources possible to gather there (T1-T3) rather than just relative to T3 resources?
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
The Eternal Balance
Excellent idea. It's one I've thought about before. The issue is that the percentages you're talking about are impossible to calculate accurately and are at best a good guess. Let's take the scenario where a Tier 1 gatherer gathers here and there as they move from settlement to settlement, and the hex in question is one of those they've hit. Then you, a Tier 3 gatherer, come along and map that hex. That Tier 1 gatherer has taken some of the Tier 1 resources from the hex, lowering the amount of Tier 1 you'd get when you gather. Thus, the log you submit would not be entirely accurate. With enough data, this discrepancy can be calculated out, but we're talking several orders of magnitude more logs submitted on the Storehouse for that to really work, and even then it'd be a good guess instead of an accurate representation. Instead, the percentages currently shown are within that Node-Tier classification. So, like you mentioned, in the case where the only T3 Mining resource you get is Adamantine, it'll show 100%.
I'm always open to ideas on how to improve the data display, and it's possible that I missed something that would allow me to do what you're asking. Instead, there is other information I can display that would be almost as good. One thing I'd like to work on soon is displaying how many of a resource you can get before it degrades to the next prefix (it would still be a guess, but one much easier to calculate, and it would be much more accurate, than the above). I think that with that information, along with the percentage already displayed, you can do a fairly good job at a glance of judging how good that hex is for that resource.
Fiery 08.14.2016 10:34
My understanding is that, as long as a Tier is not depleted, you will continue to get the same rates of Tiers until a tier is depleted. If that's true, then any log with all 3 tiers present and no 4th quality materials should be safe for use towards a % breakdown of total hex. Perhaps Bob could verify how the % breakdown works.

Blossom Dearie was part of the NYC beboppers scene that often gathered at Gil Evans' apartment, was in the social circle that began developing "Birth of the Cool" and at the same time was a fixture in the Jazz clubs of the 1940's.
The legendary jazz producer and founder of Verve, Norman Granz, heard Blossom singing in Paris and offered her a contract.
She returned to New York to record her debut album produced by Norman Granz in 1956. The LP spotlights Blossom as a chanteuse and pianist.
Miles Davis once said, "she was the only white woman who had soul", while Bill Evans noted her playing really "knocked him out".
