Chapter 1252 Combining Law Runes
Half a day later, the exchange was finally completed.
Schreiber traded his Fire's Blast for Greem's Fire's Resilience.
Schreiber left excitedly after they exchanged law runes. It was obvious he was in a hurry to get back and master the law within the rune.
However, a trade like this wasn't the end of the matter. There were a lot of things to be done after obtaining a new law rune.
Even having obtained the law rune of Fire's Resilience, Schreiber would still have to decipher the correct law from within and convert it into part of his flames. The chances of succeeding with all these were still relatively low.
There were all sorts of fire laws in a planar world.
Even the same fire law would have different effectiveness when used by different adepts. Take Increased Fire Range, for example. It increased Greem's spell range by three to five kilometers, while Schreiber's spell range was increased by up to six kilometers.
Most of the time, the power of the laws directly correlated with the caster's affinity.
The greater your affinity, the more powerful the law. The weaker your affinity, the weaker its effects. Meanwhile, the energy level of the laws, as recorded in the books, was often the average or median value.
If Schreiber had extremely high fire affinity, deciphering Fire's Resilience would be an endeavor that was very likely to succeed. Conversely, if he failed to decipher the rune, all he would obtain would be some understanding of the fire laws!
Both adepts knew about this going into the deal. As such, neither of them could be sure who would come out on top with this exchange. However, with the Chip's aid, Greem's chances of failing to decipher the Fire's Blast rune was close to zero.
After seeing Schreiber off, Greem activated all the arrays in the room and sealed himself inside.
This place was Adept's Association territory, after all. It wasn't the best place to attend to some more sensitive and private matters. However, with Shadow Demon as his guard, his safety was basically assured.
The first thing Greem did upon entering the room was to conduct a comprehensive self-examination.
He lay on his luxurious bed, his consciousness instantly sinking into the depths of his mind.
Greem's affinity was fire elementium. As such, his mind took the form of a boundless sea of flames. The fires burned silently, the entire world a stretch of crimson red.
A red crystal hovered above the flames at the center of this world. It remained unmoving regardless of how the flames beneath raged and burned. It simply stood there, silent and peaceful.
However, when you approached the crystal, you could see turmoil within its structure through its countless smooth faces. It seemed as if a terrifying world of fire was contained within.
At this moment, three law runes, still burning with golden flames, descended from the sky. They stopped near the red crystal and started to circle it wildly as if searching for their proper position.
When Greem's mental consciousness descended on this strange world, the entire world began to bubble with liveliness.
The consciousness core wasn't a physical place that existed. Instead, it was a mental projection formed from the amalgamation of the soul, flesh, and consciousness of highly intelligent lifeforms. Its existence was incredibly significant for an intelligent being!
If the most important thing for a body-refining adept was the assimilation of flesh with their mental consciousness, then the most important thing for an elementium adept was to assimilate their soul with their mental consciousness.
That was why body-refining adepts sought an immortal body, using all sorts of means to repeatedly refine their physical form, ultimately forging their very consciousness into their flesh. They were creating a unified self through a powerful and immortal body to reach a higher level of existence.
Meanwhile, most elementium adepts couldn't care less about their physical bodies. They focused solely on strengthening their soul and mental consciousness to achieve an undying soul free from the physical body's limitations. However, the soul and mental consciousness were immaterial things, after all. They still required a medium or a container of sorts.
The consciousness core projected with the mind of an elementium adept was this special container with which to hold one's soul and consciousness.
Thus, even if their physical body were to be completely destroyed, they could continue existing in a state of pure energy!
In particular, after advancing into principle adepts, the projected consciousness core would no longer need to be the container of their soul and consciousness. Instead, it would be replaced by the planar laws they had mastered.
They divided their mental consciousness into countless consciousness fragments and embedded them into the planar world's law system. In doing so, their souls would become truly immortal as long as the law system still existed!
Even if their enemies utterly destroyed the adept's body, and the adept's descendants were hunted down and killed, the adept would eventually regain consciousness as the consciousness fragments in the planar laws gathered together.
Take Alice, for example. The First Witch of Fate had left the World of Adepts tens of thousands of years ago, yet her powers continued to influence the will of the World of Adepts.
There was a thousand-year-period where her legacy had been severed. However, as long as the law system remained, the consciousness fragments that Maysa left within the system would spread throughout the world.
Once these consciousness fragments gathered in sufficient quantity and conformed with specific planar laws, a new Battle of Fate would begin.
Anyone who unintentionally assimilated a consciousness fragment belonging to Maysa would become a host of her consciousness. They would gather together, guided by the mysterious power of Fate, where they would viciously devour each other. In the end, a new Maysa would be born!
The moment this new Maysa was born, she would inherit all the Fate power that the Fate Witches had accumulated in their absence. Furthermore, once she advanced to Fifth Grade and stepped out into the World of Adepts, it would finally be time for the new and old Maysas to merge.
Through such a process of accumulation and assimilation, Maysa was able to continuously leech off of the World of Adept's Fate power, even after having left this world tens of thousands of years ago.
Being parasitized by an insect that it had exiled from this planar world long ago…was obviously not something that the world consciousness could permit!
Thus, after several cycles, it finally retaliated.
It retaliated through Alice's hands, intending to cut Maysa out of this never-ending Battle of Fate, rearrange the laws of Fate, and dispose of the illogical parts that threatened the World of Adepts.
The world consciousness had no limbs to speak of. Naturally, it had no means of completing such a task on its own.
That was why it chose to shelter Alice and Greem, who stood opposed to Maysa. It was relying on them to achieve this monumental task for itself!
If Greem had only been somewhat aware of this, he now better understood this mission entrusted to him now that he had advanced to Fourth Grade. His connection to the world consciousness had become stronger as he advanced.
As Greem completely immersed himself in his consciousness core, he could clearly sense the world consciousness' emotions. Its joy, anger, anxiety, and its expectations.
The World of Adepts was too large, after all. Its planar consciousness could not be as sensitive, sharp, or responsive as an ordinary lifeform. It was mostly like a giant infant, relaying its emotions through instinct, incapable of expressing its thoughts coherently.
However, in the subconscious of the World of Adepts, Greem was classified as one of its own. It was incredibly obvious in the path of growth and development that Greem had experienced so far.
When Greem's consciousness descended to the core, this projected space seemed to take on a life of its own. Waves of fire lashed out from the sea of flames. The entire space blazed furiously, preparing for the arrival of Greem's soul.
Greem's consciousness body appeared above the crystal. He looked at this rowdy world of fire and started to materialize the rest of the law runes without any hesitation.
Increased Fire Range, Increased Fire Effectiveness, Fire Penetration, Invisible Flames, Fire's Blast, Critical Fires, Fire's Fragility, and Fire's Resilience.
Eight unusual runes that contained refined fire laws started to circle the red crystal incessantly, occasionally clashing with it and causing sparks to appear. Their movements caused the consciousness core to tremble slightly, resulting in the world of fire itself becoming destabilized.
If the law runes were allowed to collide with the consciousness core in this manner, the consciousness space would start to fall apart. Even as talented as he was, Greem would suffer from such an occurrence.
Naturally, he would not just stand by and watch this happen. He extended his mental appendage forward, attempting to guide these law runes into the consciousness core.
Unfortunately, it was incredibly difficult to have them quietly assimilate with the consciousness core. It was almost as if there was powerful repulsion between each of these runes.
"Chip, what is happening? Why are they repelling each other so strongly? Aren't they fire laws that I materialized?" Greem could not understand what was happening.
[Beep. Host has missed the best opportunity to assimilate the law runes.]
"Best opportunity; when would that be?"
[When you mastered your first law rune. Other elementium adepts are unable to master multiple law runes in a short time. They are able to merge their law runes with their consciousness in a timely manner every time they master a new one. Then, they condition their consciousness core to accept the next rune through a long period of adjustment, aided with potions.
[The assimilation of law runes is much easier and safer this way as well.
[Host obtained a large amount of law runes through calculations. By choosing to assimilate eight law runes all at once, the difficulty is eight times that of the average adept.]
Damn! Greem finally understood where he went wrong once he heard the Chip's explanation!

Fawaz Alhokair Group secures an $800 million financing facility
The Saudi retailer said that the facility leaves Fawaz Alhokair Group with a more optimised capital structure, allowing it to efficiently pursue its strategic objectives
The facility provides extends the company's debt maturity profile/Bloomberg
by Kudakwashe Muzoriwa
Saudi Arabia's Fawaz Abdulaziz Alhokair Company has signed a seven-year $800 million Murabahah financing facility and a three-year revolving credit facility agreement with a syndicate of regional banks.
The financing facility composes of two tranches, including a $650 million Murabaha to be fully utilized in refinancing existing debt and a $150 million revolving standby credit facility to finance the company's operational and expansion needs.
Al Rajhi Bank, National Commercial Bank, Samba Financial Group and Arab National Bank participated in the loan agreement. Similarly, UAE's Mashreq Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank were also part of the financers to the deal.
The facility also provides improved pricing and terms and conditions compared to the company's current debt, while extending the company's debt maturity profile.
Fawaz Alhokair Group's Arabian Centres is set to raise as much as SAR 2.8 billion ($747 million) after pricing its initial public offering (IPO) at the bottom of its indicative range.
Arabian Centres was Saudi Arabia's first under Rule 144a, which allows the sale of securities primarily to qualified institutional buyers in the US.

**Financial Services Focus**
In the PLP's Election Platform (Our Plan), the Prime Minister had committed to appointing a person of Cabinet rank to head the promotion of the Financial Services Industry and to significantly increase the budget for financial services promotions.
In announcing the appointment of Minister Maynard Gibson, he said, *"There can be no question in anyone's mind that reviving and restoring the economy of The Bahamas must be a major priority for my Government. To this end, and as promised in Our Plan for Government, I have created a new Ministry of Financial Services and Investments. The main focus of this Ministry will be to provide leadership and direction in restoring The Bahamas to the pre-eminent position it once enjoyed as an international financial and banking centre.*
This Ministry will also have as its role the task of mounting and sustaining an aggressive campaign both locally and internationally to attract new investment in all areas of economic life, whether touristic, industrial or otherwise.
With regard to the incoming Attorney General, reference was made to Minister Sears' strong background in jurisprudence which *"will serve him well in playing a pivotal role in advancing my Government's agenda for law reform and constitutional reform as laid out in my Party's Election Platform".*
Mr. Christie indicated that he has chosen to involve other Members of Parliament and the soon to be appointed Senators in the Government's activities. *"I shall assign to Members of Parliament and Senators specific tasks so that they have important roles to play in the new administration,"* he said, adding that all will be fully involved in the administration.
**Code of Ethics**
The Prime Minister has assured the Bahamian people that of all the campaign commitments made there is none that he takes more seriously than his commitment to integrity. To this end, all ministers will formally adopt the strictest code of ethics in the political life of the country, such to be reinforced by a new Public Integrity Act.
Indications were that the Code will be communicated to Parliament in full detail at the first working session of the House of Assembly.
*"I am determined to lead a government of integrity. Your Prime Minister and all his ministers will therefore be held to the highest standards of transparency and accountability in the stewardship of your affairs. You deserve nothing less of your public servants."*pledged Mr. Christie.

Mechwarrior PBeM report: Cast of Characters 1
Posted by Runeslinger on December 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Despite the quick pace the players are keeping in their deadly dance in the stone hills below the Academy, the passage of time in the real world is no doubt making it seem like things have ground to a halt. Rest assured, they have not.
This entry will serve as a bit of extended character background for those who want to follow the campaign once the full, final version of Scene II has been posted, and we return to the intrigue and potential plots about to boil over among the faculty members of Hanachi Military Academy.
Where the cast can take us:
In the opening scene, against the backdrop of the public announcement of the Lyran occupation of Oliver, events served to highlight the importance of the sudden disappearance of some of the students, as well as bring the suspected allegiance of one of the other members of the faculty into sharp focus. When we return from the combat flashback of Scene II to the events of the game's present, one of the early decisions our not-yet revolutionaries will have to make is, "What do we do about Miss Goetz?"
A deeper question will be, 'Who poisoned, Fitz?"
Any of these characters could become a vital part of whatever means and methods the characters develop in their revolt. Some of these characters may be obstacles in their path.
What are they going to do?
The Dean:
Hanachi Academy's chief on-site administrator is Dean Synnor "Saint" Liscomb, a former Major in the 2nd Marik Militia before that Unit's crippling defeat 8 years ago at the hands of the Lyrans. Demobilized as a result of injuries sustained defending the extraction point, he carries an air of bitterness balanced with quiet assurance that he can handle anything. Called 'DeadEye' behind his back by the students for the uncreative reason of having lost his right one in combat, he still commands deep respect and fear in the students… even the spoiled rich one ones.
He began his career as the pilot of an inherited, venerable (and widely renowned as 'lucky') Lancelot, still retaining most of its original factory load-out. Rumor has it that after the loss of this 'mech on Algorab, he was offered a refitted Zeus for his valor and commitment to the ideals of the best military traditions. Dean Liscomb seems to have chosen retirement, and the honor of training the next generation of mechwarriors instead.
Professor Angus Llew Fitzsimmons:
'Fitz' or Death-breath as he is known to the students, has been teaching tactics at the school for more than 20 years, has published an endless list of manuals and histories, still finds time to compete in professional arm wrestling, and held the golden gloves on Oliver for 5 straight challenges over a period of 9 years, before retiring from boxing. The students love him, but hate his exams, and really hate it when he substitutes for PE classes.
Dispossesed in his career as a mechwarrior, Fitzsimmons served out his time as an officer assisting the general staff, where his tactical insights were quickly noted. When offered a teaching position, he took it, and transferred to Hanachi Academy a few years later, citing the better pay, greater control over curriculum, and a better pool of 'contenders.' It is unknown if he meant the students, or the miners in the boxing association.
Professor Lucas Rom
Officially listed as the Political Science professor, Rom typically is assigned to teach classes in small unit tactics, and understanding the Lyran Commonwealth. Rom is in possession of his own mech, a well-used Shadowhawk variant, and is the subject of endless student conjecture.
Westerlie Plantagenet
Officially listed as the transportation and recreation coordinator for HMA, she is actually responsible for security. It is an open secret that at one point in her career she was a combat dropship pilot. It is unknown to the rumor mill and gossip mavens why she is no longer serving in that capacity, but no one doubts that she can still get her thrills in her current position. In addition to babysitting and watchdogging the planetary elite's rambunctious offspring, at a moment's notice, she is called upon to transport VVIPs in the latest personal aircraft wherever they might wish to go, including orbit.
Associate Professor, 1st Lieutenant Mel Winters
Required to do double-duty as the primary mech piloting and jump training instructor, and the self-defense instructor, Winters spends a lot of his free time hustling from one end of campus to the other. Winters has a reputation of being almost as frustrated as his students. A new truism is springing up around him, "Those who can, can't teach."
While unfair, it is a measure of the respect the students have for his prowess in the cockpit, and on the mat.
Professor Gabriel Hertzog
Hanachi Academy's former dean of Mathematics, now the only math professor left on campus, is quite possibly the most boring man alive. He is known to work with codes, and word and math puzzles for fun during his every waking hour. As he is quite old, he is often awake, prowling around with his old man's shuffle, waggling his old man's beard, and shaking his head wryly at all the nonsense he sees. He is not well-liked by the students, but he gets excellent results, and has great patience with those for whom math is difficult.
Professor Tabitha Driscoll
HMA's Language professor. This middle aged woman seems to have become something of a loner since the bulk of the staff were transferred or let go. Normally gregarious and bright, the former linguistic prodigy has found it hard to blend in with the other experts who remain – most of whom focus on hard science or the hard realities of combat. Driscoll is known to be married with children, and that for the remainder of this year is unhappily separated from her family. Her husband, Allen Town, and their two sons, have moved to Atreus to begin a new career, and settle in to new schools. It is believed that Driscoll agreed to serve out the final semesters on Oliver as a personal favor to the Dean. A favorite, and much reviled quote of Driscoll's among the students is, "Communication is a tool more powerful than any regiment of Battlemechs."
Associate Professor Elsie Goetz
Known to the students, and some of the staff, as 'The Hot Ms. Goetz' Hanachi Military Academy's former head of Biology, and now sole instructor of the discipline in these last semesters is of much interest to many. Known by many to play favorites and be emotionally and professional inconsistent, it is a matter of no small debate as to why she is allowed to remain. Add in her potential Lyran sympathies and poorly guarded antipathy toward House Marik, and the recipe for a mystery is complete. Why does the Dean allow her to stay? Unhappily single, and deeply attached to strong drink and nights of forgetfulness, Goetz has gotten a certain reputation among her fellow professors, for good or ill.
Professor Lionel Calhoun
Calhoun could be summarized in one word: amused. He loves to laugh, and seems to have been finding things which make him laugh every day of his 55 years. His bearded face is deeply creased with smile and laugh lines, and his bright green eyes twinkle like stars on a warm summer evening. Head of Physics, and happy to be continuing on here as long as the school remains open, Calhoun truly enjoys his subject and the consternation and confusion of his students. "Rise to the challenge, gentlemen!"
Popular student theory contends that the Professor and the Dean have arranged a secret facility for experimental weapons trials conducted by Calhoun and the Engineering Department. No one, of course, knows where this lab might be. Truth is not a required component of a good story.
Associate Professor Velika Kaldec
Another staff member required to do double-duty, Kaldec spends most of her time in the lab, supervising engineering projects, or in the mech bay trying to keep the Academy's large stable of mechs operational.
Assigned originally simply to serve as the chief technician, Kaldec has found her duties growing as the staff gets cut further and further.
Associate Professor Hazel MacTavish
Not a mechwarrior herself, but a proud descendant of a long line of men and women who served in the cockpits of mechs for the Northwind Highlanders, Hazel herself serves in the lab. A genius in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, she is serving at HMA as a favor to her CO to assist the Dean. Much speculation about what that favor repays and how it all came about exists. Added to this stew of rumors are those that she is working on a secret project with Lionel Calhoun to enhance mech weaponry.
Although the Highlanders are long-term 'supporters' of the Capellans, recent events have put them on the outs with the Confederation, putting her future return to her people in question.
Notable Students:
Sander Hanachi – Discovered missing several days before the Lyran occupation of Oliver, all rumors point to an early tip-off and a secret departure. A solid student, but troubled. Just one of many Hanachis to enter these halls and not know why.
Cotter 'Coy' Chilton – 1st son of upper management in the Brigadier Corporation mech production facility on Oliver. Disappeared much like Sander Hanachi, but returned two days later without a word. Number one on all Academic and physical lists, popular with the students, practical joker. Known to be destined to oversee the Dropship Factory on Gibson. Stubborn disinterest in aerospace, passion for mechs.
Kyle Kenworth – 2nd son of Conner Kenworth, CEO of the Quickscell Company. Sent here for discipline and to maintain family tradition. Currently the 2nd on the Dean's list for academic and physical achievement, as well as the Dean's list for troublemakers. Seems genuinely interested in becoming a mechwarrior. Wants to transform father's company into a mech producer if he ever has the chance. Currently struggling to maintain his full scholarship. Fiercely competitive and hot-tempered.
Alphonse Custer – Clever and a pleasure to have in the classroom, Alphonse has shown little real promise in the field. While technically competent, there is no sign of integration, understanding, or implementation of what he has been learning and practicing. Staff rumors have him destined for high rank and authority over thousands if not millions of lives – God help us all. The son of a very successful agrodome venture capitalist on Oliver, Custer has been heard to say, 'If mechs don't work out, there is always soy!"
Cooper Brown – Older than the other boys by one year, he is haunted by being held back a year in High School. Over-sensitive and self-deprecating, he has smothered his natural brightness under the protective shield of methodical drudgery. He seems to have lost the courage and confidence to think creatively, or trust his instincts, becoming just an extension of the prevailing beliefs of others. He does extremely well in simulated trials in a single mech, but panics and second-guesses himself in drills with partners or a full lance.

What an experience Budapest was! It is definitely the most unique country I have visited in Europe so far due to its checkered history. Budapest was an incredible experience and a beautiful city. Buda and Pest are split between the River Danube, and our hotel was on the Pest side overlooking the Danube and the Buda side. The hotel we stayed in was beautiful and probably one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in! Our tour guide told us that Hungarians to this day care very much about knowing on which side their fellow peers live. The Buda side has many beautiful, expensive neighborhoods, so most people who live there are very wealthy. The Pest side is home to all major businesses, so most everyone who lives on the Buda side commutes to the Pest side daily to work.
On the first day we toured around the Pest side. Our tour guide explained the history of Budapest, which I found most fascinating. In her words, "Budapest has always been on the wrong side of history." In WWI, Budapest aligned themselves on the side of the Austrian-Hungarians. Of course we all know that the Allies won the war, leaving the Hungarian economy in devastation, as well as their empire ceasing to exist. In WWII, Hungary took the side of Nazi Germany, believing that Hitler would bring economic and social prosperity to their country. Again, the Allies won this war and when countries were being liberated from Nazi Germany's possession, the Soviet Union "liberated" Hungary, turning them Communist. Events led to the Cold War, and Hungary was not truly liberated from Communist regime until 1990! I could not believe this considering I was born a mere 3 years later! On this tour we also got to see the Jewish Quarter, where the Nazis forced Jews to live in the confines of the ghetto. We got to tour the Dohany Street Synagogue, which was built in 1854. Despite so much destruction in the area, the synagogue was never bombed or burnt down. It is the second largest synagogue in the world, next to the synagogue in New York City.
That night, my friends and I decided to treat ourselves and get massages at the hotel's spa! It was so nice and relaxing. After our treatments, we had dinner at a traditional Hungarian restaurant. The food was SO delicious! I had red wine, beef puff turnovers and goulash soup! I also tried paprika chicken. It was so yummy.
The next day, we had an early wakeup call at 6:30 am to catch the 7:00 am metro to go to the famous Hungarian thermal baths! There are multiple indoor and outdoor baths, and it was so relaxing. If I lived in Budapest I would start everyday at the baths! Later in the day, we explored more of the Buda side and got to see the Buda Castle, as well as explore Budapest's most famous and least expensive indoor market. We had some free time later on so a group of us decided to hike up to one of two remaining Communist statutes in the city. The view at the top was absolutely breathtaking and looked over the entire city. We were there at sunset and it's a memory that I will never forget. That night everyone got together for a Hungarian cooking class! We made 8 different kinds of dishes, and needless to say everyone was stuffed afterwards!
wonderfully descriptive (again) account of this trip. i especially appreciate the historical context that you provide. and, yes, it IS amazing to think just how recently that country was under communist rule…how cool to be able to explore.

Q: Django on apache: Could not find platform dependent libreries  I'm trying to deploy a django app in an Apache Server (Wamp) using a virtual environtment, but getting that error. Everything is going well, the problem seems to be happen in the wsgi.py file.
The wsgi.py never start the venv so this never start the app.
Here is my httpd-vhost.conf:

Here is my wsgi.py file:

# Add the virtual environment path to the system path
sys.path.append('C:/wamp/apache2/htdocs/<app.name>/env/Lib/site-packages')

# activate_this = 'C:/wamp/apache2/htdocs/<app.name>/env/Scripts/activate_this.py'
# execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))

exec(open(activate_env, 'rb').read(), {'__file__': activate_env})

# Set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'app.settings'

# Import the Django application from the Django project
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

application = get_wsgi_application()

In the wsgi.py file there are two ways I found for activate the venv. The venv don't have the activate_this.py file but there was an answer I found answer-here that say you simply copying it from the virtualenv package solve the problem. I tried and worked (in Windows 10). But then I tried in a lower Windows version and got that error. Then I found the other solution without the activate_this.py file but still don't work.

Q: Having logic in a Haml file? I have two buttons so the user can choose two options:
= button_to t('payer_contracts.new_global_payer_type'), new_payer_contract_path, {:class => 'btn pull-left', :method => 'get'}

= button_to t('payer_contracts.new_bpci_payer_type'), new_payer_contract_path, {:class => 'btn pull-left', :method => 'get'}

Both of them direct to the same file as seen here:
- content_for(:title, t('payer_contracts.page_titles.new'))

- content_for :article do
  .common-main-container
    %h1= t('payer_contracts.new_payer_contract')
    = render 'global_form'

The problem is, if the user clicks either button, it will render the global_form. I want the first button to render the global_form and the second button to render the bpci_form. Is there a way I can send an argument in the path such as:
new_payer_contract_path(payer_contract.new_bpci_payer_type)

and then in the form use some type of logic for:
if (payer_contract(new_bpci_payer_type)
  = render 'bpci_form'
else
  = render 'global_form'

Is this possible?

A: Yes, you can pass the value in the action
new_payer_contract_path(payer_type: payer_contract.new_bpci_payer_type)

to any one of the button, and in the view file you can get the params using
if payer_contract(params[:payer_type])
  = render 'bpci_form'
else
  = render 'global_form'

Invasive compared with non-invasive treatment in unstable coronary-artery disease: FRISC II prospective randomised multicentre study. FRagmin and Fast Revascularisation during InStability in Coronary artery disease Investigators.
[No authors listed]
In unstable coronary-artery disease early invasive procedures are common, despite lack of evidence for the superiority of this approach. We compared an early invasive with a non-invasive treatment strategy in unstable coronary-artery disease.
In a prospective randomised multicentre study, we randomly assigned 2457 patients in 58 Scandinavian hospitals (median age 66 years, 70% men) an early invasive or non-invasive treatment strategy with placebo-controlled long-term low-molecular-mass heparin (dalteparin) for 3 months. Coronary angiography was done within the first 7 days in 96% and 10%, and revascularisation within the first 10 days in 71% and 9% of patients in the invasive and non-invasive groups, respectively. We followed up patients for 6 months. Analysis was by intention to treat.
FINDINGS:
After 6 months there was a decrease in the composite endpoint of death or myocardial infarction of 9.4% in the invasive group, compared with 12.1% in the non-invasive group (risk ratio 0.78 [95% CI 0.62-0.98], p=0.031). There was a significant decrease in myocardial infarction alone (7.8 vs 10.1%, 0.77 [0.60-0.99]; p=0.045) and non-significantly lower mortality (1.9 vs 2.9%, 0.65 [0.39-1.09]; p=0.10). Symptoms of angina and re-admission were halved by the invasive strategy. Results were independent of the randomised dalteparin treatment. The greatest advantages were seen in high-risk patients.
The early invasive approach should be the preferred strategy in most patients with unstable coronary-artery disease who have signs of ischaemia on electrocardiography or raised biochemical markers of myocardial damage.

Last week on Twitter I mentioned I was cooking this dish, and my friend and fellow author Annie Nicholas asked for the recipe. I promised her I'd put it up asap, so here it is!
This is totally my invention as soup, but I do attest that it tastes very good!
1. Heat oil in pan and brown onions.
2. Mix spice powders and make into a paste by adding a little water. Add this paste to the onions and fry for 1-2 minutes.
3. Drain lentils and add to pan. Stir.
4. Add pumpkin and water. Stir and bring to boil.
5. Lower heat, leave to simmer, covered partially, for 20-30 minutes (you want the lentils to have softened and lost their shape, and the pumpkin to have 'melted').
6. When soup is at the consistency you want, stir in the tomato puree. Add a little salt, and taste (add more if it needs!).
7. If you want to make this a full meal but still keep it light, throw in some pasta shells towards the end of cooking time.
There you are - a quick and easy soup! Bon appetit!

Well, tonight at bible study we talked about anger. We all have it in one form or another, just part of our sinful human nature. And would you believe it or not, even Jesus got angry. Take for example the people selling stuff in the temple as accounted in the gospel of John. In John chapter 2, verses 13-17, Jesus goes into the temple, where dudes are selling oxen, sheep and pigeons, and drives all of them out with a whip! (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%202:%2013-17&version=ESV). This is NOT the Jesus most people talk about. He is not the gentle, almost feminine Jesus that he is made out to be in our media. Jesus got angry!
But this is a righteous anger, angry at the men who were making his father's temple, a holy place, into a marketplace. We can also have righteous anger, mostly when there is some sort of injustice or violation of some sort, and when we are oppressed. However, too ofter our anger is slanderous, and can lead to gossip. The main problem is that our anger produces sin, unlike the anger of Christ in the gospel of John.
Here is a great feeling of righteous anger, diplayed by Matt Chandler in a talk he gave a while back. This video is called "Jesus Wants the Rose!"

Robert Rogers was a British Army officer and served during King Georges War, The French and Indian Wars, Pontiacs Rebellion and the American Revolution, made famous by the unit named after him; Rogers Rangers, he is considered by many to be the father of modern special forces and achieved great success by implementing backwoods and native skills to make raids deep behind enemy lines.
Born in 1731 to Scots-Irish Settlers in Massachusetts Rogers and his family relocated to New Hampshire when he was eight. Hew Grew up near modern day Concord and by 1946 was a private in Captain Daniel Ladd's scouting company and later in Ebeneezer Eastman's scouting company and served along the New-Hampshire frontier during King Georges War.
Later under the command of Colonel Wilmslow Rogers took charge of recruiting soldiers for the Crown after the commencement of the French and Indian Wars in 1755. He formed a force of 'rangers' soon to become known as Rogers Rangers and commanded them with considerable success.
Rogers Rangers were the latest in a long line of New England ranger companies that had been active since the 1670's. Rogers Rangers and their precursor Gorham's Rangers, established 1744, were both active throughout the French and Indian Wars and were both originally established by a William Shirley, a British Administrator and Governor of Massachusetts, who in the face of mounting tensions between the British, French and Indians in the region established several volunteer militia companies including these and other ranger companies.
Of all of these ranger companies though it was Rogers Rangers that are the most famous and Rogers himself who first codified what have become known as the 'rules of ranging'. He wrote them and issued them to his rangers in 1959 while stationed on the Hudson and those rules have stood the test of time and have been adapted to modern day warfare and are still issued to and followed by US Army Ranger recruits today.
All Rangers are to be subject to the rules and articles of war; to appear at roll-call every evening, on their own parade, equipped, each with a Firelock, sixty rounds of powder and ball, and a hatchet, at which time an officer from each company is to inspect the same, to see they are in order, so as to be ready on any emergency to march at a minute's warning; and before they are dismissed, the necessary guards are to be draughted, and scouts for the next day appointed.
If you march over marshes or soft ground, change your position, and march abreast of each other to prevent the enemy from tracking you (as they would do if you marched in a single file) till you get over such ground, and then resume your former order, and march till it is quite dark before you encamp, which do, if possible, on a piece of ground which that may afford your sentries the advantage of seeing or hearing the enemy some considerable distance, keeping one half of your whole party awake alternately through the night.
Some time before you come to the place you would reconnoitre, make a stand, and send one or two men in whom you can confide, to look out the best ground for making your observations.
If you have the good fortune to take any prisoners, keep them separate, till they are examined, and in your return take a different route from that in which you went out, that you may the better discover any party in your rear, and have an opportunity, if their strength be superior to yours, to alter your course, or disperse, as circumstances may require.
If you march in a large body of three or four hundred, with a design to attack the enemy, divide your party into three columns, each headed by a proper officer, and let those columns march in single files, the columns to the right and left keeping at twenty yards distance or more from that of the center, if the ground will admit, and let proper guards be kept in the front and rear, and suitable flanking parties at a due distance as before directed, with orders to halt on all eminences, to take a view of the surrounding ground, to prevent your being ambuscaded, and to notify the approach or retreat of the enemy, that proper dispositions may be made for attacking, defending, And if the enemy approach in your front on level ground, form a front of your three columns or main body with the advanced guard, keeping out your flanking parties, as if you were marching under the command of trusty officers, to prevent the enemy from pressing hard on either of your wings, or surrounding you, which is the usual method of the savages, if their number will admit of it, and be careful likewise to support and strengthen your rear-guard.
If you are obliged to receive the enemy's fire, fall, or squat down, till it is over; then rise and discharge at them. If their main body is equal to yours, extend yourselves occasionally; but if superior, be careful to support and strengthen your flanking parties, to make them equal to theirs, that if possible you may repulse them to their main body, in which case push upon them with the greatest resolution with equal force in each flank and in the center, observing to keep at a due distance from each other, and advance from tree to tree, with one half of the party before the other ten or twelve yards. If the enemy push upon you, let your front fire and fall down, and then let your rear advance thro' them and do the like, by which time those who before were in front will be ready to discharge again, and repeat the same alternately, as occasion shall require; by this means you will keep up such a constant fire, that the enemy will not be able easily to break your order, or gain your ground.
If you oblige the enemy to retreat, be careful, in your pursuit of them, to keep out your flanking parties, and prevent them from gaining eminences, or rising grounds, in which case they would perhaps be able to rally and repulse you in their turn.
If you are obliged to retreat, let the front of your whole party fire and fall back, till the rear hath done the same, making for the best ground you can; by this means you will oblige the enemy to pursue you, if they do it at all, in the face of a constant fire.
If the enemy is so superior that you are in danger of being surrounded by them, let the whole body disperse, and every one take a different road to the place of rendezvous appointed for that evening, which must every morning be altered and fixed for the evening ensuing, in order to bring the whole party, or as many of them as possible, together, after any separation that may happen in the day; but if you should happen to be actually surrounded, form yourselves into a square, or if in the woods, a circle is best, and, if possible, make a stand till the darkness of the night favours your escape.
If your rear is attacked, the main body and flankers must face about to the right or left, as occasion shall require, and form themselves to oppose the enemy, as before directed; and the same method must be observed, if attacked in either of your flanks, by which means you will always make a rear of one of your flank-guards.
If you determine to rally after a retreat, in order to make a fresh stand against the enemy, by all means endeavour to do it on the most rising ground you come at, which will give you greatly the advantage in point of situation, and enable you to repulse superior numbers.
In general, when pushed upon by the enemy, reserve your fire till they approach very near, which will then put them into the greatest surprise and consternation, and give you an opportunity of rushing upon them with your hatchets and cutlasses to the better advantage.
When you encamp at night, fix your sentries in such a manner as not to be relieved from the main body till morning, profound secrecy and silence being often of the last importance in these cases. Each sentry therefore should consist of six men, two of whom must be constantly alert, and when relieved by their fellows, it should be done without noise; and in case those on duty see or hear any thing, which alarms them, they are not to speak, but one of them is silently to retreat, and acquaint the commanding officer thereof, that proper dispositions may be made; and all occasional sentries should be fixed in like manner.
At the first dawn of day, awake your whole detachment; that being the time when the savages choose to fall upon their enemies, you should by all means be in readiness to receive them.
If the enemy should be discovered by your detachments in the morning, and their numbers are superior to yours, and a victory doubtful, you should not attack them till the evening, as then they will not know your numbers, and if you are repulsed, your retreat will be favoured by the darkness of the night.
Before you leave your encampment, send out small parties to scout round it, to see if there be any appearance or track of an enemy that might have been near you during the night.
When you stop for refreshment, choose some spring or rivulet if you can, and dispose your party so as not to be surprised, posting proper guards and sentries at a due distance, and let a small party waylay the path you came in, lest the enemy should be pursuing.
If, in your return, you have to cross rivers, avoid the usual fords as much as possible, lest the enemy should have discovered, and be there expecting you.
If you have to pass by lakes, keep at some distance from the edge of the water, lest, in case of an ambuscade or an attack from the enemy, when in that situation, your retreat should be cut off.
If the enemy pursue your rear, take a circle till you come to your own tracks, and there form an ambush to receive them, and give them the first fire.
When you return from a scout, and come near our forts, avoid the usual roads, and avenues thereto, lest the enemy should have headed you, and lay in ambush to receive you, when almost exhausted with fatigues.
When you pursue any party that has been near our forts or encampments, follow not directly in their tracks, lest they should be discovered by their rear guards, who, at such a time, would be most alert; but endeavour, by a different route, to head and meet them in some narrow pass, or lay in ambush to receive them when and where they least expect it.
If you are to embark in canoes, battoes, or otherwise, by water, choose the evening for the time of your embarkation, as you will then have the whole night before you, to pass undiscovered by any parties of the enemy, on hills, or other places, which command a prospect of the lake or river you are upon.
In paddling or rowing, give orders that the boat or canoe next the sternmost, wait for her, and the third for the second, and the fourth for the third, and so on, to prevent separation, and that you may be ready to assist each other on any emergency.
Appoint one man in each boat to look out for fires, on the adjacent shores, from the numbers and size of which you may form some judgment of the number that kindled them, and whether you are able to attack them or not.
If you find the enemy encamped near the banks of a river or lake, which you imagine they will attempt to cross for their security upon being attacked, leave a detachment of your party on the opposite shore to receive them, while, with the remainder, you surprise them, having them between you and the lake or river.
If you cannot satisfy yourself as to the enemy's number and strength, from their fire, conceal your boats at some distance, and ascertain their number by a reconnoitering party, when they embark, or march, in the morning, marking the course they steer, when you may pursue, ambush, and attack them, or let them pass, as prudence shall direct you. In general, however, that you may not be discovered by the enemy upon the lakes and rivers at a great distance, it is safest to lay by, with your boats and party concealed all day, without noise or shew; and to pursue your intended route by night; and whether you go by land or water, give out parole and countersigns, in order to know one another in the dark, and likewise appoint a station every man to repair to, in case of any accident that may separate you.
There are many modern military outfits which claim direct descent from Rogers Rangers including The Queen's York Rangers of the Canadian Army, the U.S. Army Rangers, and the 1st Battalion 119th Field Artillery.
Robert Rogers hero status for me doesn't necessarily come from his military victories though, and there is actually a fair bit of evidence that some of the claims of his success were exaggerated considerably, particularly the famous raid on St. Francis where conflicting reports offer estimates of between 30 and 200 enemy killed many of whom were women and children.
Fort Crown Point, the starting point for the raid on St. Francis in modern day New York State.
What is admirable about him was his skill as an outdoorsman and his ability to lead his men through difficult terrain with limited navigational equipment and to be to fight when he arrived. During the St. Francis Raid, probably the single thing Rogers Rangers are most well known for Rogers Rangers travelled for hundreds of miles at times with only the food they could forage, a few fungi, leaves berries, scraps of meat from beaver skins and even the boiled up leather of their own belts and pouches.
What makes Rogers noteworthy even among his own men, who were a hardened and experienced group capable of incredible feats of endurance and possessed of incredible outdoor skill, is the way in which he travelled and moved his men. He was not a typical officer of the time and used irregular tactics and adapted very well to frontier life and campaigning. He used native skills and a sound knowledge of the land to move deep behind enemy lines where survival of large military formations used to the support of porters and supply companies would have been impossible. He and his men travelled light and relied on their knowledge rather than their equipment and they are examples to both military and civilians nowadays of fortitude and endurance.
A skirmish fought against French and Indians in which Rogers troops were at an advantage due to their snow shoes while the french troop floundered in knee deep snow.
Famously, and inaccurately depicted in the book and film Last of The Mahicans by James Fennimore Cooper Rogers Rangers were present during some of the events of the siege, surrender and massacre at Fort William Henry.
A defeat for Rogers and his rangers from which Rogers barely escaped with his life, he was reported killed as his jacket and commission papers were left at the scene of the skirmish and he was said to have slid four hundred feet to the frozen surface of lake George before escaping. His force of 180 was decimated by 700 French and Indian troops after he set out on a scouting mission and successfully ambushed a combined French, Indian party only to encounter a much larger party when they gave chase to their original targets. Most of the rangers were killed but a few including Rogers escaped.
The British attack on what is now known as Fort Ticonderoga was a major military failure and one in which the Rangers took part, they opened the battle with the 80th Regiment of Light Armed Foot by pushing the French Skirmishers back behind their defences before the battle started in earnest.
Rogers Rangers would latter participate in the Pontiac Rebellion and the Revolutionary War fighting for the British. His reputation as a leader of the rangers is now much greater than the sum of his modest military victories and he is remembered as a pioneering and influential soldier and commander as well as a great example of how frontier skill can be adapted to warfare.

Are You On The Dark Side Or Light?
Many humans are creatures of habit. There is a tendency to stay within a comfort zone, to keep doing things just as they have always been done, and to resist change. Change is seen as scary, a turn into unknown territory.
Many would rather stay in the unpleasant familiar than risk going into the unknown. And, people are afraid of giving up what they think brings them pleasure, as if they will be missing out on something.
We all love Star Trek episodes, especially Captain Jean-Luc Picard's way of thinking. Captain Picard used to listen to Data, a human-robot that would give him a perfect solution from reason's point of view. At the same time, Picard would listen to the rest of his team.
If you don't like where you are – change it!
compromises we have to face.

Our Impact Partners
Since 2015, the Impact Marathon team has raised over $1.2m for charities around the world. It has been a great honour to work in partnership with such incredible organisations, making tangible differences to the projects they support.
"Our goal has been clear from the start - to be the catalyst for the change we want to see in the world, to support grassroots organisations and create a platform to tell their story."
Nick Kershaw, Founder & CEO, Impact Marathon Series
The Impact Marathon Foundation does not create projects, we support those who already work with passion in their communities. We build experiences from the ground up, creating unforgettable and life changing events, so we can provide r unrestricted funding for our partners.
Make sure you follow our Blog to learn more about our Impact methodology, with regular notes from our CEO about our journey and how we're supporting incredible organisations in the most powerful way possible.
SERES - Guatemala
Great leaders inspire real change, they catalyse development and unite communities. We can't tackle Climate Change without them. They are the ones who will make the hard decisions and stand up for our planet.
SERES works across a diverse group of young, future leaders. On top of their work with young leaders, SERES has its own Resilience Farm, situated in between the communities that were destroyed by the 2018 volcanic eruption. This farm is now a cornerstone of developing regenerative and innovative agricultural practices, which guard the communities against the impact of climate change. In time, this will become a source of income for the community and a leadership academy for youth across the region.
More about the charity
What inspires the Impact team…
It is not easy, it is not a programme that will show you tangible results tomorrow - but it will be truly powerful and inspiring to see the youth of today blossom into the leaders of tomorrow.
Childreach - Nepal
The frontline in the prevention of trafficking is not at the border, it is in the school systems, the community leaders and the children themselves. This is where Childreach Nepal is working.
Childreach Nepal uses sports as a tool for development and aims to provide not just technical skills, but support the holistic development of children through sports activities. The programme aims to reduce dropout rates in the schools, to prevent children from trafficking, indulging in unsafe migration, and any other form of child abuse children may face once they drop out of school. It also focuses on bringing equality among the community, regardless of gender, race and economic background. However, this is just one of the projects they are delivering, from Early Childhood Development to menstruation education, each project is geared towards engaging children in school and tackling the leading causes of children to leave school.
Sport has the power to change lives, it inspires to dream, it is emotive, it breaks down our barriers and allows us to meet with the children as they open up.
Naturally Africa - Malawi
Healthcare to agriculture. School support to waste management. Naturally Africa is an organisation driving change in one community and, along the way, creating a blueprint for others to recreate.
Our partner in the small fishing village of Nkope, on the banks of Lake Malawi is an intimate and humble organisation that has steadily built a wonderful relationship and reputation in the community. The villagers have only ever asked for one thing: to Learn. Naturally Africa projects are based around capacity building, teaching the skills needed to create effective education structures, medical institutions and sustainable farming.
The agricultural land is a testing ground for crops and farming techniques that can stand up to the rigours of Climate Change. With this information and training, we can effectively support all the families in the region diversify their subsistence farms to improve the consistency of yields and the variety of the diets to combat the chronic malnutrition.
Burns Violence Survivors - Nepal
A small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world - despite being a small team the impact they have touches thousands across Nepal, tackling both the present problem as well as the the long term solutions
With 56,000 burns cases a year and only two hospital wards dedicated, this is a powerful project that goes right to the heart of Nepali culture. The charity not only helps to tackle the care but also the prevention - a huge challenge when rates of domestic abuse and the use of acid in such attacks is so high. Since starting the Nepal Impact Marathon we have funded over 80 life-saving surgeries for burns victims, and with your support we can really ramp that up this year.
This is not an issue that has easy solutions, it's not a topic that most larger organisations can prioritise, but someone has to. We love the passion and compassion of this tiny team, with tiny overheads. We love how our funds have the tangible impact of genuinely saving lives, one at a time.
Caras Alegres - Guatemala
An after school group providing a powerful support network that ensures the children and youth of the community are safe, off the streets and developing their skill sets.
Though one of our smallest organisations, it is by no means a depiction of just how inspiring and incredible this charity is. The team works in a small community, right next to a prison…the only reason there is a community here is so that the families could be close to the people residing inside the prison walls. After school, the children have no one at home to look after them, to help them with their homework, to feed them. In turn, they are eating nutritious food and grow up to be less vulnerable to the gangs that hold so much sway in the communities.
A small change, with huge, exponential Impact. An after school group is something we all understand and can relate to - but the ongoing impact of keeping children learning, well fed, with friends and in a safe environment is truly life-changing and impactful.
Five Talents - Kenya
Enabling enterprising individuals to set up small businesses by providing business training alongside savings & micro-loan facilities.
Five Talents UK provides savings schemes, small loans, and business training for those in need in rural East Africa. We make use of a modern, hybrid form of savings-based microfinance that relies on local partners, enterprising clients, and an innovative use of technology. The simplicity extends to the business ideas themselves, it can be as simple as a lady selling potatoes who uses the loan to accelerate her income by purchasing more stock at lower prices due to the new economies of scale. This, in turn, enables her to pay for her children to attend school - and so the cycle of development continues. The loans are financed and regulated by the communities themselves.
Not only is microfinance, when used responsibility a powerful tool for women's empowerment, but the Five Talents team have a particular aim to be educating around good financial and business practice. The fundraising we do goes solely into capacity building and training - the funds for the loans? That is all generated by the beneficiaries themselves.

Tenth Review for The Cronian Incident's Audiobook!

@Charlie62394802 @coachgkap @RpsAgainstTrump Projection, sir. You're own disdain is based on ideology and pretence.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 1 day ago
Good news! The Cronian Incident (the audiobook version on Audible) just got its tenth review. And as you can probably tell, this person is real' positive! I wish I could reach out to them and let them know that the series is no complete, so all the cliffhangers and threads get resolved.
"This book is so good!! I enjoyed it immensely. I loved the world, I felt for the main characters. The tech was impressive. The mystery was complete and total. And then that blasted ending. AURGH!!
Politics reign supreme in the new world and them's that's got, keeps. The story was incredible! I was so engrossed in the story that I did not see the ending coming. It broke my heart. Thank goodness there is a book two!!
The narration was excellent, in every sense of the word. The main character, Jeremiah Ward, was an ex-intelligence officer, turned con, then private investigator. There was some gruffness and wide-eyed exasperation to Ward learning his new role and figuring out what was going on. The narrator nailed it. There were Russians (natch) and incredibly powerful female characters amongst a host of other voices. The narration made this story real.
I'm glad there is a second book in this series. I need some vindication!"

SC Picture Project / Laurens County / Bethel AME Church
Bethel AME Church in Laurens may no longer be standing, but its architectural beauty, designed by African-American architect Columbus White, lives on in the archives of South Carolina history. The church was formed shortly after the Civil War in 1868, and the Romanesqe Revival building was constructed in 1907.
Bill Segars of Hartsville, 2009 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
White was born into slavery in Laurens County in 1855. It was uncommon for slaves to have last names, and those who had surnames were usually named by their owners; such was the case with White. He grew up as a house slave, working mainly as a carpenter. Once he was emancipated, he became an architect and designed two buildings that are listed in the National Register for Laurens County: Bethel AME Church and the Brown-Franklin Building.
White and his family also attended Bethel AME Church, White serving as the congregation's treasurer. The church was at one time so renowned in the AME denomination that it produced two bishops.
The architectural details of Bethel AME included imported stained glass and brick towers flanking the facade. It was one of Laurens County's earliest black churches.
Documentation indicates that the church was active until 1998. At that time, the building was abandoned by its congregation for reasons unknown, though finances of upkeep is widely speculated as a reason.
The building withstood the elements for another decade. Until 2008 it sat majestically along the roadside, providing photographers and curious explorers opportunities to capture the fading glory of its supreme craftsmanship.
In 2008 the church was finally condemned, and shortly afterwards the demolition process began. By June of 2009, there was no trace of this once-prominent AME church.
A church in Columbia by the same name was also designed by an African-American architect shortly after the Civil War. Bethel AME Church in Columbia outgrew its original building and recently moved to a larger church campus.
Bethel AME Church is listed in the National Register as part of the Laurens Historic District, which says the following about the area:
The Laurens Historic District contains 111 contributing properties, most of which were built between 1880 and 1940. The town of Laurens is the county seat of Laurens County, located in the Piedmont region of the state. The district includes the public square with the courthouse and surrounding commercial buildings, and extends to the north and west to include significant residential sections of Laurens. The district is an unusually intact collection of buildings of nineteenth and early twentieth century vernacular architectural design mixed with simple high-style examples. Although originally lined by antebellum residences (only two of which remain intact) on multi-acre lots, West Main Street experienced two periods of major development. The first period was from ca. 1885 to ca. 1915 and the second occurred between the World Wars.
The buildings in the district display a wide range of architectural styles including Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Romanesque Revival, Bungalow, Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Neo-Classical. The area is also characterized by its large trees, well-kept yards, and granite retaining walls. The town and county of Laurens are named for South Carolina Revolutionary War patriot Henry Laurens. Laurens County was one of six counties created in 1785 from a division of the old district of Ninety-Six. By 1792 Laurens was the county seat.

A person does not have to be behind bars to be a prisoner. People can be prisoners of their own concepts, choices and ideas.
So tell the negativity committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up.
When you dream, you better dream big; when you think, you better think big; and when you love, you better love truthfully.
There are no excuses for not trying to make the very best out of your life.
There are no excuses for living in a way that consistently makes you unhappy.


Nearly as important as meeting engineering specifications for rock is getting the rock delivered on time, in the correct quantity, and to the exact location required. The Teevin Bros. trucking fleet is up to this task. Using one of the newest truck fleets in the area and with truck drivers hand-picked for their rock hauling expertise, we can match the right truck to the job on hand.
The ubiquitous dump truck offers close-in, tight space, and swift delivery. Our drivers set the chains and spread crushed rock with tight controls, significantly reducing the need for additional grading and leveling. Add in the 'pup' trailer, and the truck and pup combination can deliver up to 30-tons of rock to your job site.
When large volumes of rock are called for, side-dumpers and belly-dumps deliver the rock with efficiency. Fast to load and faster to discharge, these truck and trailer combinations keep job sites charged with rock material – up to 25-tons per delivery.
Our drivers work in partnership with our quarry crews and your engineer or contractor. Together they save project time and expense by ensuring the right product is delivered when needed, providing just-in-time quantities, and offering the ability to change products as development conditions require.

Toyota and the Clean Energy Partnership last week announced that Toyota has become a new international auto partner for the organisation. The move will add further impetus to CEP's programme of advancing sustainable mobility through the development of hydrogen filling stations and a fuel supply network in Germany.
CEP's activities are supported by the German Government, which is investing around R20 billion to support the development of hydrogen fuel cell and electric vehicle technologies. Toyota will contribute five of its zero-emissions FCHV-adv hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to the programme in Germany by 2011.
Tadashi Arashima, President and CEO Toyota Motor Europe, said: "We firmly believe that fuel cell hybrid vehicles will play a major role in reducing emissions and achieving sustainable mobility, alongside petrol and plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles. These various applications of full hybrid technology will each play their role and co-exist in the future.
"Toyota aims at the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles around 2015. To achieve this goal a hydrogen charging infrastructure is necessary, so close tie-ups between car manufacturers and infrastructure companies are of vital importance. "
Other CEP partners are setting up "CO2-free" and hydrogen filling stations at key locations between Berlin and Hamburg and the partnership is also campaigning to increase the proportion of hydrogen fuel produced from renewable sources to 50 per cent.
