Follow us to a magnificent journey through the centuries! Rethymnon is one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. You will explore the hidden treasures of it and discover the greatness of an ancient Cretan civilization. You will also learn and see many things about Cretan traditions and culture through unique routes of Rethymno mainland, starting from the historical monastery of Arkadi.
The Arkadi Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery. The current catholicon (church) dates back to the 16th century and is marked by the influence of the Renaissance. This influence is visible in the architecture, which mixes both Roman and baroque elements. As early as the 16th century, the monastery was a place for science and, had a school and a rich library. Situated on a plateau, the monastery is well fortified, being surrounded by a thick and high wall. The monastery played an active role in the Cretan resistance of Ottoman rule during the Cretan revolt of 1866. 943 Greeks, mostly women and children, sought refuge in the monastery. After three days of battle and under orders from the hegumen (abbot) of the monastery, the Cretans blew up barrels of gunpowder, choosing to sacrifice themselves rather than surrender. The monastery became a national sanctuary in honor of the Cretan resistance. 8 November is a day of commemorative parties in Arkadi and Rethymno. The explosion did not end the Cretan insurrection, but it attracted the attention of the rest of the world.
After that you will visit Eleftherna, an ancient city-state in Crete, which lies 25 km southeast of Rethymno. Archaeologists excavated the site, located on a narrow northern spur of Mount Ida, the highest mountain in Crete. It flourished from the Dark Ages of Greece's early history until Byzantine times.
In the systematic Eleftherna project, a team of archaeologists from the University of Crete led by Prof. N. Stampolidis has been in charge since 1984. Surveys and systematic excavations have revealed the city's settlement patterns, sanctuaries and necropolis in Orthi Petra, even stone quarries in the surroundings of the Prines hill. The discovery of the remains of four females in Orthi Petra was declared one of top 10 discoveries of 2009 by the Archaeological Institute of America. The Museum of Ancient Eleftherna, directly linked to the archaeological site, was inaugurated in June 2016.
The next stop will be at Margarites, a scenic traditional Cretan village. You will walk on the stone paths of the village and admire the pottery traditional shops around. Then, leaving Margarites, you 'll have lunch in Asteri village. The unique restaurant with the folklore private collection and the traditional Cretan delicacies will take your breath away.

Lane Moore is a comedian, actor, writer, and musician. She is currently touring the country with her hit live comedy show Tinder Live (where she actually swipes on & chats with her Tinder matches while the audience weighs in—I laughed so hard). She's also the frontperson in It Was Romance, which BUST Magazine named "The Best Band of 2015," and has written for The New Yorker's Shouts & Murmurs column, The Onion, McSweeney's, Cosmopolitan, GQ, and can be seen on season 5 of HBO's GIRLS. She lives in Brooklyn and is obsessed with Stevie Nicks and the queen of Tejano music, Selena.
Some things Lane loves:
"Please Like Me. I've already watched all 5 seasons of this Australian comedy nearly 2x over in the last two weeks. It's like the best combination of millennial storylines, while also having awesome storylines about people over 40, stories about mental illness, and LGBTQ issues, and it's so funny. It's brilliant and I can't stop talking about it. Also Web Of Lies. I tape like 95% of all ID shows, but this one is my favorite. It's all about horrible crimes that were facilitated by social media."
FOOD/DRINK, PORTLAND, OR
"I went to Back To Eden Bakery every single day when I was in Portland on tour with Tinder Live. Their whole bakery is vegan and gluten free but it's so next level it's insane. I ate incredibly well there every day and was basically squealing with how many options I had because most places that have vegan/GF stuff are like, "Here's a chocolate chip cookie and nothing else," and you're like, "OK fine, but fuck you." When you have food allergies, it's incredible to be able to have more options than the same cookie every time."
"Bai Molokai Coconut drink. I am obsessed with this because it tastes like a fruity cocktail you'd drink on a beach somewhere, but I don't really care about drinking and I'm not at the beach. I've turned as many people on to it as possible, so I'm hoping they attribute their recent sales uptick to me telling everyone to drink it and then send me a lot of it because I am spending way too much money on it, which is what it is."
WELLNESS, NYC
"Flower Power Herbs & Roots. When I'm on tour the first places I go are places that sell herbs and crystals and other hippie nonsense. This is my hometown store and it's just full of the most positive, helpful people ever and a wall of herbs in mason jars as far as the eye can see. It's one of my favorite places in the city."

Q: Buttons not working after publishing unity game to play store I just published my first unity game and I downloaded on my phone and when tried pressing the play button it doesn't start! it actually registers touch and I know that because of the color of button changes when pressed but the actual function of the button doesn't work. It works fine in the editor.
EDIT: here's the button function screenshot:
Edit2: here is the code of the button function:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class PlayBtnScript : MonoBehaviour {

public AudioSource clickSound;

string[] scenes = { "PlayScene", "PlayScene2", "PlayScene3", "PlayScene4", "PlayScene5", "PlayScene6",
    "PlayScene7" };
public void StartGameBtn()
{

    string name = scenes[Random.Range(0, scenes.Length - 1)];

    clickSound.Play();
    Initiate.Fade( name, Color.black, 2.0f);

  //  SceneManager.LoadScene("StartMenu");

}

}
Initiate.Fade is just an asset from the asset store that makes it easier to fade between scenes so the first parameter is the scene to go to and 2nd is color of the fade.
"name" is a variable that just generates a random scene so then i put it in the Initiate.Fade so that it loads a random scene.
Here is the link to the asset:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/simple-fade-scene-transition-system-81753

A: I think there is the problem, that appears when you click button or before that. To see possible error you have to:

*

*Enable USB debugging in your phone

*Connect phone to computer

*Debug errors in windows cmd or terminal

(See the picture) https://i.stack.imgur.com/uWuxZ.png

Home - Blog - Have you found the right Buyer?
Finding the right buyer for your business.
Selling your business for maximum value can be a long process and is fraught with potential pitfalls. Trying to find a buyer for your business is not unlike trying to find a prince among a sea of frogs!
The days of selling your business fast and walking away on the same day are long gone for all but the very smallest and simplest businesses. For the rest of us there will be an agreed handover period of 6 months or more, working with the new owners, and having to get on!
Finding a buyer that you can work with in a positive way is as important as getting the right price for your business and you're going to have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince!
Always engage the services of a professional broker. A proprietor who is his own business broker has a fool for a client1. It is an unfortunate fact that most people that enquire about most businesses do not ever progress through more than one or two rounds of the process.
Whittling down the plethora of time wasters to a handful of genuine buyers requires a detachment and objectivity that is virtually impossible for the business owner to maintain, while still trying to run the business and generate as many opportunities to meet potential buyers as possible.
All business brokers that work in a proactive way will charge fees, and these will vary slightly, but this price variation is immaterial to the importance of choosing the broker that you can trust, understands what's important to you, can work well with, and has your best interests at heart while securing you the best deal valuation from your business exit strategy.
At BuyMyBiz we are used to kissing frogs; it's one of the most important things we do.

Readers: What else caught your eye?


This topic contains 16 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by CTHthemes 5 months, 1 week ago.
I would like to display a filter selection all as dropdown selections (like "all categories" functions).
2. On listings grid, is it possible for each listing preview to show a carousel instead of zoomed image?
2 – It's not possible.
4 – Send me the page link to check.
6 – It's currently allow hide author widget based on their membership plan only. Check your Listing Plans posts for more details.
9 – Please use option on Settings -> CityBook Add-Ons -> Register tab.
Regarding point 6, I am finding a hard time to do it; I would like to show contacts only if user is a registered listing customer, what exactly do I have to do?
1. Is it possible to show another content in the listing widget area if user is not registered? Is it possible to add in that sidebar other type of widgets (like a regular sidebar)?
3. Is possible to show the interactive map with pinpoints, but if the pinpoint is clicked it doesn't show the preview?
Sorry point 7, hide those elements only if user is on the free plan. If it is on another plan show them.
Thank you for your response on point 7. However, I haven't received feedback on all the previous points.
Waiting for support on this.
1. Is it possible to add in the listing sidebar other type of widgets (like a regular sidebar)?
7. Hide "my listings" and "reviews" on dashboard page only if user is a listing customer. If user has any other role, show them.
Please give me a support for each point, I am very short with time and using the tool you suggested I am not able to make these changes.
1 – You can use custom widget fields on Settings -> CityBook Add-Ons -> Submit tab. Then add widget shortcode to the fields when submit listing.
3 – It's currently not possible.
7 – It's theme core feature.
1 – Oh sorry, it's not possible.
2 – What's the image?
I would like to show the contact and booking form on sidebar listing only to logged in users. Logged out users cannot see it. But I have to inform them that they need to login to view the contacts of that listing.
This message/image/whatever, though, needs to be hidden when I become logged in.
What is the way to achieve this using your theme?
Thank you for your response. More or less when will the next update be released?
3. Right now all the elements of the theme (listings, buttons, boxes) are slightly rounded, how can I make them squared?
1,2 – Please check your custom css code to make sure it's correct.


Facebook, Facebook, Facebook- Facebook is an online social network that includes status updates, picture sharing, news feeds, and so on. The user controls who can see and not see what is put on their wall. They can block people they don't want to have access and allow those they want. You can select the recipients and decide who to share what information with. You may be wondering why I'm doing a post on this and you will soon understand.
On my Facebook page I have 409 friends and many pictures of my kids and friends. I have a number of groups set up that include my church friends, online friends, haveners and so on. When I post certain things that are meant for my church friends, those posts only goes to those I have listed under that group. If I'm playing games, or I should say my husband is under my name, all game posts goes to that group of friends. I know many on my facebook page, but not all. And not all of those on my Facebook would be interested in what is going on here in my home town or what funny little thing my grand kids may have said or done for the day. Even though I don't know why they wouldn't want to know, lol.
The reason I say this is because of privacy and what I would call rage posts or anger posts. I have a number of friends on my Facebook page that will post pictures or make a status comment. And in turn they may get a negative response from others about said post. When you post things for all of Facebook land to see and all of your friends, there is bound to be responses and not always are they what you are looking for.
If someone posts a topic or shares a picture and you have opened it up for all to see, then logically one would think that someone will comment. I know I will comment on pictures or status's. I may not on all of them, but some I do. When I post a status or a picture I understand that people will say what is on their mind, even if I don't like it. It is the same with my blogs. The topic of this post isn't about one particular person or a group. It is a general topic of if you don't want people to comment the way you want them to, then don't post it. If it is intended for certain people, then send to only those people or in a private message. Facebook is a social network and one shouldn't expect much privacy when they choose to share what is on your mind or in your life with those on Facebook.
I made a comment on a article on yahoo the other day about sharing of photos. The woman was upset because her picture was shared with others without her permission. In my opinion if she didn't want the world to see it, then she should never have posted it. There are guidelines you have to follow when signing up for Facebook and other networking sites. I'm pretty sure most don't read the small print. My comment to the article was that people are too laxed. There are more times than not that I can find information out about someone I don't know by looking up their Facebook page.
There is critical information that you should never share on Facebook. Some of the main no brainer things would be telephone numbers, addresses, where you work, birthdays, social security numbers and so on. But sharing information has lots of risks including your name which can be accessed by others and your profile can be viewed. Anyone can get valuable information and private photos from your profile — ultimately getting you in big trouble.
I was able to show a friend just how easy it was to find out information about one of her friends. She was up for the challenge. I went to her page and located the friend. Her friend had on her profile where she worked at and little fun tidbits about her kids graduations. Her date of birth was on the page as was her place of birth. There was information about her anniversary and her husband on the page. Her friend wanted another friend to reach her, so she gave out her telephone number on a post, not thinking anything about it and later gave directions to her house. I didn't know this person and she lived in another state. If I was an online stalker, I would have it made. Her friend allowed anyone to view her information. She had no idea who I was, but I knew who she was.
What I'm saying is that be careful what you put out there because you may not like what the reply or the outcome may be.
Always monitor pictures that other people put of you and tag you on. You can see the tagged pictures of you by going to your profile, click on "Photos"- you should see "Photos of You" and the number of tagged pictures.
Do not post pictures of yourself under the influence of any type of substance. This refers to pictures such as: Dancing-on-the-bar pictures or candid shots of the last time you got hammered with your pals on happy hour. Don't be caught with drugs, especially if you're underage because anyone can just print out the picture and show it to your parents or principal.
Be cautious of the statuses, photos, videos, etc. you post if your coworkers, colleagues, or even your boss is friends with you. If possible, avoid sending out or accepting friend requests from those who know you from work, especially your boss. Granting them full access to view your personal life will only have negative effects on your job.
Never post information regarding an upcoming vacation or trip as your status. Doing so is just asking for your house to be robbed. If you must post photos and every detail of your two-week trip to France, do so after you return home, not before or during your vacation.
Change your password every so often. Don't make your password something obvious such as your birthday or mother's maiden name. Try to have at least one capital letter, one lowercase letter, two numbers, and a symbol. The longer and more complicated the password, the safer you are from getting your account hacked. Always remember to log out after you're finished with Facebook, especially on a shared computer.
This is actually scary to me!!! I post all kinds of pictures and videos on my facebook but its for friends only. Can they still see since I have it for friends only???
I have mine that way too… I think people can be pretty naive when it comes to what we put out there… I was able to find the person I was searching for in under 15 minutes and had all the information I needed at my fingertips. Thank goodness I'm not a stalker or predator. It's scary when you think about it.

Christopher then graduated to making the mix CD since that replaced the cassette tape. Granted the CD mixes were a little harder to make due to cost of the media and equipment at the time.

Home » Blog » What Is Mobile Marketing?
Based on observation, individuals are spending more time with their mobile devices. As the technology advances, there are different ways to use mobile devices to your advantage. There are ads that appear on the tablets, smartphones, and many more. There are ad formats, different styles, customization, websites, and mobile apps that offer its own distinctive ad options. However, with this, you need a strategy.
The age that we live in is all about computers and the internet. Because of this, mobile devices are what people rely on. This explains why people are glued to their mobile devices day in and day out. Eighty percent is spent on mobile apps such as the games that eat up most of the time. Seventy percent is spent on webpages using tablets.
There are different kinds of strategies that you can use for mobile marketing. However, it would depend on what works best for your business, the industry you are in, the budget that you have, and your target audience. The first is the app-based marketing. As the name suggests, it involves the use of advertising in mobile apps. Since people spend eighty percent of their time on mobile apps, you can be sure that you do not have to exert on much effort on gathering the audience you need. There are services such as GoogleAdMob that can help you in creating mobile ads within 3rd party mobile apps. Just like Facebook and social media marketing, you can see some of the promoted post ads that mix on their newsfeeds.
The second is in-game mobile marketing. As the name suggests, this kind of mobile marketing refers to the ads that appear within mobile games. The third is location-based marketing. Location-based mobile ads are the ads that appear on mobile devices based upon a user's whereabouts. Therefore, if a business would use this kind of mobile marketing strategy, their ads would appear when the users are within a mile radius of their business.
The fourth is mobile search ads. These are the basic Google search ads that are built for mobile devices which also features extra add-on extensions such as click-to-call. The fifth is mobile image ads which is imaged based ads that is designed to appear on mobile devices. And, last but not the least, is SMS marketing which involves getting the user's phone number and sending them offers through texts.

FDA halts phase 1b Kura Oncology trial in acute myeloid leukemia following patient death
Posted on December 01, 2021 By News Team
The FDA sidelined an early-stage cancer trial from Kura Oncology after a patient died due to a serious adverse event related to the oral treatment's mechanism of action.
The partial clinical hold means no additional patients in the acute myeloid leukemia trial will be enrolled until the FDA gives the green light. The regulator's information request is "not complicated," and the hold should be "relatively short," Kura's management said in a conference call Wednesday morning.
Kura's stock was down 22% to $12.95 a share as of 9:30 a.m. ET.
The patient's death in the phase 1b trial is potentially associated with differentiation syndrome, the biotech said. The adverse event is a drug reaction caused by differentiating agents in certain treatments for AML and occurs in up to one-quarter of patients treated with such agents. The syndrome is marked by unexplained fever, acute kidney injury, hypotension, weight gain and other harmful results.
The side effect is included in a black box warning for Agios Pharmaceuticals' approved AML drug Tibsovo, which was given the go-ahead in July 2018. The syndrome also has a 1% incidence with Astellas' AML treatment Xospata.
Kura's management described the syndrome as "part and parcel of this mechanism of action," and occurrence of the syndrome "shouldn't surprise anyone," leadership said in a conference call discussing the news.
The biotech and its site investigators already had a mitigation strategy in place for the syndrome, and there were "relatively few" other patients who experienced the syndrome, but those cases were "manageable and resolved with steroids," management said.
The patient who died had failed four prior lines of therapy. The patient started on the 200-mg dose, management said.
The FDA has asked for "three key pieces of information," including a review of the safety database, an articulation of the mitigation plan for the deadly syndrome and rationale for the dose selection of 200 mg and 600 mg, management said.
"Based on the totality of preclinical and clinical data, we continue to believe that KO-539 has the potential to address the significant unmet medical need of AML patients, including those with NPM1 mutations and KMT2A rearrangements," said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., Kura's president and CEO, in a statement.
Management reassured analysts on the call that all physicians involved in the study "are doing proper surveillance."

Originally from Kyoto, Terada went alone to a ballet school in Kiew when she was 11 years old.
Graduated with top grades and joined the National Ballet.
She won a tough competition and she became a soloist (a dancer who can dance a solo part).
After retiring, he was also evaluated as a leader and won various awards in Ukraine.
After living in Ukraine for 35 years, he temporarily fled the country last February before the Russian invasion.
He returned to Kyiv in September of last year and was appointed artistic director, saying, "I want you to lead the National Ballet, which is in a difficult wartime situation."
Mr. Terada was interviewed by NHK in Tokyo last month.
The first problem that must be tackled was the division of the members that occurred in the wake of the invasion.
Mr. Yoshihiro Terada
"Exactly half of the members remain in Ukraine, and the other half are in Europe. The artists who remained in Ukraine say, 'We are the real artists. And no matter what happens, the people who will protect the art of this country to the end are the real Ukrainians.The Ukrainians who fled to Europe are not so patriotic." I think the first thing I have to do is put it together."
No matter where you are, your feelings for your homeland should not change.
I believe that I, a foreigner who has lived in Kyiv for many years and is familiar with Ukraine, can play a role in reuniting the members who were divided by the invasion.
Yoshihiro Terada:
"In my case, I'm about 50% Ukrainian and 50% Japanese, so I might be able to combine Ukrainian art into one. I want to do my best from now on so that artists can become one."
Now is the time to "keep the art alive" in wartime
Various barriers have stood in the way of the war-torn National Ballet.
The theater in Kyiv, where he was based, was closed for four months.
We resumed performances in June last year, but even now, when an air raid alarm sounds, we have to evacuate the audience to the basement.
For this reason, it is not possible to put the audience in the theater full, and it is said that tickets are sold up to 400 people who can evacuate to the basement.
Furthermore, in September last year, a dancer who danced with me lost his life in a battle.
Amidst a series of civilian casualties, the dancers continue their activities while worrying about their friends, families, and even their own lives.
On the other hand, even in such a dangerous situation, it is said that tickets will be sold out if the performance is held.
Mr. Terada believes that is the reason why he continues to dance.
Mr. Yoshihiro Terada:
"Ukraine is a country with art. There is the collapse of the Soviet Union, the problem of the Crimean Peninsula, and the war is still going on. We can give people the beauty of the body, the beauty of the heart, and we want to use the power of art to help the Ukrainian people forget about the war even for a short time. In
terms of the role, I think that's what the people want most.Coming
to the theater.During the two-and-a-half-hour performance, I want to forget about the war. For us, we have to give more dreams and hopes to the people who come to see it.In addition, for artists, the time to dance on the stage is It's very precious."
"Tchaikovsky does not dance"
The Ukrainian National Ballet has performed annually in Japan even before the Russian military invasion.
He came to Japan last month (December) saying, "I want to show that the light of art is still alive even in wartime."
Many people rushed to the 13 performances held all over the country.
The program presented at this performance is
based on the novel of the same name, "Don Quixote," and the music is by the Austrian composer Leon Minkus.
Set in Spain, it is known as a play in which the townspeople dance cheerfully and happily.
Until now, we have performed many works by Tchaikovsky, one of Russia's leading composers, such as "Swan Lake," but we have decided not to do so this time.
In the background, it is said that there is consideration for the feelings Ukrainians have toward Russia.
"Mariupol (in the eastern part of Ukraine) is still under heavy attack. In the midst of this, we have been living without food, water, electricity, and nothing for more than half a year. Ukrainian people, food support, water support from Russia, but none of the Ukrainians living there did not receive it. Ukrainians live without support, water and food from Russia.Artists should put up with Tchaikovsky now.I think it's right."
After that, he talked about the thoughts he put into the "Don Quixote" he chose for the program as follows.
"It is a very warm work with a lot of humor, and I think it is a work suitable for the people of Ukraine. As you know, the national symbol of Ukraine is the sunflower. Just listening to the sounds and music of "Don Quixote" makes my heart warm.In this difficult and painful time in Ukraine, this heart-warming work "Don Quixote" can be danced in Japan.I think I chose the right repertoire."
The Japanese audience also took the thoughts of Mr. Terada directly.
A person who saw the performance said,
"It was a performance that really conveyed the feelings of the Ukrainian people.
A person who saw the performance
"I really wanted to see the culture and the arts continue uninterrupted."
Terada says that as he continued to perform in Japan, he noticed something about the dancers.
"When I watch the rehearsals and the stage, I feel more energy than ever before in each movement of my hands and feet. He has passionate eyes that can see the future.
At the end of the interview, Mr. Terada talked about his determination to lead the ballet company during the war.
"Ukraine is in a difficult and sad era. I want the Japanese people to know that Ukrainian art is alive and well. And to Ukrainians living abroad. I think it's a great opportunity to prove that Ukrainian art is alive, and I believe that together with the remaining Ukrainian artists, we can create something truly wonderful. Now that I have become the artistic director, I will fight with the members through art until the very end."
The performance of "Don Quixote" held in Tokyo was cheerful and fun, but as Mr. Terada said, I felt a unique energy from the dancers.
Even during the wartime, he continued to train every day and captivated the audience with his highly perfected performance.
The bright smiles of the members during and after the performance left a strong impression on me.
On the other hand, according to Mr. Terada, when the members returned to the hotel, they immediately shut themselves up in their rooms and kept in touch with their families in Ukraine.
Mr. Terada said, "Even so, the members come to the theater and dance wonderfully. I think it's really wonderful every day."
I can't help but think about the worries that each member has, which can't be seen from the gorgeous stage.
After performing all over Japan, Mr. Terada and his colleagues returned to Kyiv this month (January).
In the midst of frequent air defense warnings, we are working on creating new programs in cooperation with choreographers overseas.
We wholeheartedly support the challenge, and we strongly feel that we should continue to do what we can so that the day will come when we can perform without worrying about airstrikes or the safety of loved ones.

Marilyn looked dumbstruck....."KENNEDYYYYYYYY!!!" she screeched. "MR.KENNEDYYYYY!!" She ran and hid behind a rack of shirts.
After a few moments, a large Inustani, a Doberman, came out and crossed his arms. " Another one?" He sighed and grabbed Thorwen by his collar. "OUT!OUT!OUT!OUT!" He bark and tossed Thorwen out the door and into the middle of the street spooking a chocobo and its rider, as well as the people walking by.
"Marilyn got another one!" Someone yelled.
"I count it as the 5 one this week!" Came a reply
"It's out a sea right now. But don't you worry about that. You just get yourself to Middith and wait."

(OOC: Sorry I'm so late, but I was unavailable this weekend.)
Meanwhile, another prepares to aid Andy in his goal. Too impatient to knock on the door and wait, he merely lets himself in. As he glances around for any interesting-looking "shinies," he overhears the conversation in the next room. He figures out after a few minutes that people must be in there, so he decides to join them, since if people are somewhere he needs to go where the people are, because he's a people. Seeing Loake talking to Andy, he decides to greet this "old acquaintance" of his the best way he knows how. Walking up to them quietly and startling them into jumping with a sudden statement. A statement such as this.
"Hello! I'm Michael!"

Thorwen blinked. Once. Twice. Three times. What the hell did I just say? he wondered, then realized as he stood up and dusted himself off.
"Gods dammit all!" he swore to himself. Damned damned damned demon curses...
Glancing at the people he had startled, he quickly shuffled off toward the First Doman Bank, his face reddening a bit. This time, he was going right where he needed to be, demons be holied.

Loake stopped dead at the sound of Michaels voice. He recognised it...And it gave him a bad feeling. He couldn't recall where he knew it from, but he knew it...Turning to get a look at the mans face, he stopped, going wide-eyed. "Y..You! Aaah!" Loake quickly turned back to Andy and nodded. "I'll do it! Just let me out of here!" And with that, Loake dashed off, out of the house, and into the air as soon as he could, hoping to escape the man named Michael.
"Bye!", Michael says as Loake runs off, waving at him as he passes. After he leaves, Michael turns back to Andy, grinning obliviously.
"I'm Michael!"
Andy took one look at Michael and said, "Follow him." He pointed after Loake.
"...OK! And then I get the shinies?"
Not waiting for an answer, Michael heads out, following Loake as requested. Being a good thief, he attempts to yoink some random shiny thing on his way out. Of course, he forgets to check if anyone is watching him or not, but what're you gonna do?
Scenario: Jazz

The thug continued to spray paint as he looked over his shoulder. He took one look a Jazz and grinny wolfishly. "Heeeeeey, baby. Whut's yo' name?"
Re: Scenario: Jazz
by Vampire Jester Jinx » Tue Dec 02, 2003 12:30 pm
There were several ways to go about this. One involved beating the living hell out of him until he gave her some information. The other involved playing along long enough to get some information, and failing to be useful, turning him into a snack, THEN making him tell. Jazz opted for the second option. Mostly due to being hungry.
Jazz smiled sweetly, taking care not to show her fangs then tipped a wink at him. "My name's Lucy, sugar, and mind tellin' me your name as well?"
Jazz mentally yoinked the name from her best friend from when she was growing up. His name was Ben, but he had a pet chocobo named Lucifer. Damned meanest chocobo ever. But it's full name was never used, so everyone ended up calling it Lucy. The reference made Jazz almost giggly, but she bottled it up, in hopes the young hooligan would take the bait.

"Surprising easy! Now to take this blood donor for all he's worth!" Jazz thought to herself.
"Jace, that's a great name, sugar." She scoots foreward a little, making sure to keep with the big red innocent eyes. "An' what are you doin' then hmmm? Don't tell me you're apart of THE Shango... that's mighty impressive if so..." She twirled a bit of hair around her finger, mentally laughing her ass off.
Re: Scenario: Jazz and the drooler.

Blink blink. It took his brain time to register what was going on. "Ah..YEAH! I just joined up too!" He stood up straight cocky as a barnyard bull. "I know the big man. Me an' him? We're tight. Like brothers."
Hoo boy.
by Vampire Jester Jinx » Wed Dec 03, 2003 1:36 pm
Jazz put her hands on her hips and pouted as cutely as she could. "Now you're just playing with me, so mean, and you're so good looking too..." Then she added the finishing touch, the flip of the hair.
Oh SWEET GODS! I'm glad Dae isn't around to witness this. Even if I'm faking like hell...I hope this sucker is buying the act though... She thought to herself.
She then turned to look at him and widened her eyes, "Or do you really know him? I mean...WOW. Please tell me which is it?" She played with the little bell on a ribbon around her neck, making it jingle a little.
You know, this was funny at first. But now I just feel stupid.
Re: Hoo boy.

Yari reached the glorious white marble bank and walked up to the receptionist.
"Hello, how can I help you," said a small balding man.
Yari did what now? o_o;

Thorwen bowed a bit and explained simply, "I'm here to see the owner of the bank. I have business to discuss with him."
Re: Yari did what now? o_o;
"Do you have an appointment?"
by Idran1701 » Thu Dec 04, 2003 3:07 pm
Meanwhile, as Loake attempts to find Middith, Michael attempts to follow Loake. Just barely keeping him in sight, it takes him ever bit of speed to keep up with the flying person. The lure of eventual shinies is enough to prod Michael on, however, and he continues running, attempting to get his target's attention as he does so.
"Wait, Loake! You're my friend, and the person with the shinies wanted me to follow you!"
*going to make a char named Yari to stop that happening :(*
by Koneko » Thu Dec 04, 2003 11:20 pm
Thorwen sighed. "Yes, yes, of course, he's a busy man. I'd like to make an appointment, then. When's the earliest I can get him?"
Re: *going to make a char named Yari to stop that happening
by Shinigori V2 » Fri Dec 05, 2003 12:22 am
Loake looked back twards Michael, just barely catching the mans shouting through the wind. "You are NOT my friend!"
Although....He couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the man. After all, he was kind of an idiot...So he slowed down a bit.
by Idran1701 » Fri Dec 05, 2003 5:53 am
"...I helped you! I'm your friend!"
Michael continues yelling obliviously, running after Loake through the streets. A few blocks after Loake slowed down for Michael, once Michael finally got close enough to do so, he did something that would guarantee any pity Loake felt was completely nullified. He leapt into the air after Loake, clinging to him. The only question now was, could Loake's wings support both of them?
...Well, that, and would Loake's bloody stabbing of Michael remain just a fantasy. But that's more of a rhetorical question, really.

Yay for drama.

"Come iiiiiiiiiiiiin," called a rather feminine voice.
As the doors swung open a chubby but...oddly dressed man was sitting on his desk. He was fanning himself with a frilly fan.
"What can I do for you?"

Thorwen's right eyebrow twitched at the sight of the bank owner as a low, angry mutter escaped his lips. What was suspected was quickly processed, with that man being what he was, Thor could hardly afford to be convivial. However, this sudden display of displeasure quickly righted itself as he assumed his normal disinterested expression. After all, he only had to convince the man to fund a project.
"I'm here as a representative," he said in a slightly bored tone, "of the Chief Reconstruction officer of Doma. He needs you to help finance the rebuilding."
Return to Gaera Main RPs


POTEAU — LeFlore County District Court Judge Jon Sullivan told Christopher Kenyon Simpson he is second in line behind another homicide case scheduled for trial on the two-week trial docket starting Sept. 16.
Simpson, 27, of Fort Coffee faces two counts of first-degree murder in the April 8, 2012, shooting death of Ka'Loni Marie Flynn, 20, of Fort Smith and her 12-week-old fetus. He appeared in court Thursday with his defense attorney, Warren Gotcher, for a pretrial status docket.
Assistant District Attorney Tony Evans said the judge told Simpson and the attorneys to be ready to go.
Simpson has been held without bond in the LeFlore County Detention Center since his June 21, 2012, arrest. His trial had been set for June 17, but was delayed then because of a schedule conflict for a witness, an expert on cellphones.
During Simpson's Dec. 11, 2012, preliminary hearing, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent Shawn Ward testified that Flynn's body was found in the driver's seat of her still-running car on McGinnis Road near Spiro in the early morning of April 9, 2012. She'd been shot in the head.
According to preliminary hearing testimony, six calls were made to Flynn's cellphone number the preceding night, and were traced to a phone bought earlier in April by Simpson.
The prosecution alleges Simpson killed Flynn because he was angry about her pregnancy.
Simpson has pleaded not guilty.

Beverly Hills retail pet sale ban
By Kelli Harmon | August 19, 2015
The change was a long time coming. Best Friends' focus on fighting puppy mills from the consumer end began eight years ago with peaceful protests in front of one notoriously bad pet store in Beverly Hills, California. Since then Best Friends' work on its puppy mill initiatives has helped create a sea change in many U.S. cities, whose citizens no longer want puppy mills to stock local pet stores. Recently, the work came full circle as Beverly Hills is poised to become the next city to say no to mill-bred pets — for good.
A history of puppy mill–supplied pet stores in Beverly Hills
Back in 2007 Best Friends, along with other organizations and the Beverly Hills community, began organizing peaceful rallies around one pet store, with the intention of exposing the fact that the store's puppies came from mills. Elizabeth Oreck, national manager of Best Friends' puppy mill initiatives, says, "Those rallies drew a lot of media attention and helped us educate the public about the connection between puppy mills and pet stores. It wasn't long before the store closed its doors."
While that store was the last one in Beverly Hills to sell mill-bred pets, it was the constant threat of public pressure that prevented new puppy mill-supplied pet stores from opening, Elizabeth says. "We wanted to make sure that milled puppies would never again be sold in Beverly Hills pet stores."
She worked with Lili Bosse, city council member, and the city attorney's office on an ordinance, and when it was recently brought to the city council for a vote, it passed unanimously. Now, Elizabeth says, "Pet stores within Beverly Hills will not be allowed to sell dogs, cats or rabbits unless they come from shelters or rescue groups." The city joins more than 80 other municipalities throughout North America that are putting a stop to selling milled pets, but in many ways, Beverly Hills was already ahead of those other communities.
Humane pet store
One reason the city was ready to embrace the change is that it already was home to a successful pet-oriented business that's an asset to the community without being an outlet for milled pets. Since Pussy & Pooch Beverly Hills opened, the store's founder and chief creative officer, Janene Zakrajsek, has had no interest in selling pets in this store or in any of her other retail locations in Southern California.
Janene says, "The concept of the independent pet retailer has evolved over time to be more modern." Instead of selling animals, the store offers an array of pet products and services, provides an ultra-swanky home to three rescued cats, and gives back to local pet rescue groups.
Rescued feline mascots
While stores that sell milled pets are part of the problem, Janene's stores are part of the solution. And although the store's customers bring in their pets for grooming, training, day care and spa treatments (it is Beverly Hills, after all), the only pets who stay at the store full time are three exceptionally lucky cats. Their lives are a far cry from the old days of pet retail, when animals with big price tags lived in tiny cages until someone bought them. Instead, Romeo, Julius and Harlow, the store's feline mascots, live and play in specially designed digs that include catwalks and cubbies, allowing them access all over the store.
As Janene explains, "Although our cats are not available for adoption in the store, we have them there as brand ambassadors to showcase their modern cat lifestyle, which is focused on nutrition and enrichment, and so we can talk about the fact that they were rescued."
Stores like Pussy and Pooch prove that a pet store doesn't need to support the cruelty of the commercial breeding industry in order to be a successful retail business. And that makes a huge difference in the fight against puppy, kitten and rabbit mills in the U.S. because, as Elizabeth says, "When people walk into pet stores and learn about rescued pets, it's a win for the animals."
The credit for this most recent win, says Elizabeth, goes to the city's elected officials. "We were fortunate to have a very compassionate mayor and city council who understood the importance of taking a firm stand against inhumane pet mills. The world is always watching Beverly Hills, and by setting an example for other communities to follow, the city is helping to spotlight the issue and keep our momentum going."
Keep the successes coming by giving to Best Friends.
About Best Friends' puppy mill initiatives
Through Best Friends' puppy mill initiatives, we are educating consumers about puppy mills, helping create and lobbying for humane legislation, and working with pet stores to offer pets for adoption instead of selling mill-bred pets. Together, we're making an impact and saving lives. Join us and help bring about a time when every dog can feel safe, happy and loved.

Decreased mortality in COVID-19 patients treated with Tocilizumab: a rapid systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Malgie, Jishnu et al.
Background: We systematically reviewed the literature to answer the following research questions: 1) does IL-6 (receptor) antagonist therapy reduce mortality in COVID-19 patients compared to patients not treated with IL-6 (receptor) antagonists and 2) is there an increased risk of side effects in COVID-19 patients treated with IL-6 (receptor) antagonists compared to patients not treated with IL-6 (receptor) antagonists Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, PMC PubMed Central, MEDLINE, WHO COVID-19 Database, Embase, Web-of-Science, COCHRANE LIBRARY, Emcare and Academic Search Premier (until June 30th2020). Random effects meta-analysis was used to pool the risk ratio and risk difference of individual studies. Risk of bias was appraised using the MINORS checklist. Results: The search strategy retrieved 743 unique titles of which 10 studies (all on tocilizumab) comprising 1358 patients were included. Nine out of ten studies were considered to be of high quality. Meta-analysis showed that the tocilizumab group had lower mortality than the control group. The risk ratio (RR) was 0.27 95%CI 0.12 to 0.59 and the risk difference (RD) was 12% 95%CI 4.6% to 20% in favour of the tocilizumab group. With only a few studies available there were no differences observed regarding side effects. Conclusions: Our results showed that mortality was 12% lower for COVID-19 patients treated with tocilizumab compared to COVID-19 patients who were not treated with tocilizumab. The number needed to treat was 11, suggesting that for every 11 (severe) COVID-19 patients treated with tocilizumab 1 death is prevented. These results require confirmation by randomized controlled trials.
