Ok! Month 3 and I've finally got some stuff painted.. not a lot.. but some!
So my first fully painted unit is the Everchosen Chaos Warriors. It's been quite difficult to make them 'pop' with such a dark palette but I'm happy with the result. Now they're finished I'm wondering if I need five more.. damn it. They do die quite quickly.
Also got my Slaughterpriest finished. Such a great model this and he's great on the table too. So much so I've already bought the alternative sculpt too. Two is better than one after all..
I really but some effort into the Slaughter Priest as he's going to be an entry to Golden Demon this year.. hence going a bit overboard on his base!
The basing is how I'm going to do all my characters and monsters.. so I'm having to make sure I leave plenty of spaces for icicles.
So that's all I've got painted but it's a start.
Realised I needed some shooting in my army so I bought a Skull Cannon.. it misses almost every time.. so I bought another one.. still no luck.. but they look cool!
Looking forward to getting some paint on them, maybe that'll improve their luck! I will let you know next time.
Oh! Almost forgot! Finally got started on Archaon himself! Well his mount anyway. Took some time to get 2 of the 3 heads done.
Just the Tzeentch one to do.. and then the rest of the massive thing.
So, April has been a busy month for me, both work- and hobbywise, so fasten your seat bealts and get ready for a long post!
With the release of Grand Alliance Order I decided to focus on the newly revamped Devoted of Sigmar and bring my version of Johan & Wilhelm, mercenary Witch Hunter and Warrior Priest, to the Mortal Realms.
For my version of Johan, the Warrior Priest, I took a flagellant body, greenstuffed the armour and added hammer, shield and a book from my bits box.
Since you can have 4 Witch Hunters in a Mordheim warband, Wilhelm turned into four models. For them I started from the Militia kit, only using the torsos with long coats and the legs with boots, greenstuffing hats, gloves and extra details on the coats.
With the heroes done it was time to move onto the grunts. Since I had used one flagellant body to convert Wilhelm Glaubig, I needed to replace it to have a 10 model unit of Flagellants. Legs and torso from the Militia, a little greenstuff, head and arms from the flagellants and I had a unique Prophet for the unit. The rest of the Flagellants were very simply straight out of the sprue.
And finally, I was left with 15 Militia models to do the Fanatics. I wanted them to look like a mixture of veteran soldiers and hungry peasants roused to wrath by the fiery oratory of the Witch Hunters, so for some of them I have used the arms with torches and scythes from the flagellants.
You can see that the unit leader is rather different, and that's because I wanted him to double up as a Pit Fighter for Mordheim games. He's made using bits from the Flagellants and Militia, but with some extra details I have greenstuffed.
Talking about Hired Swords for Mordheim, I also wanted to have a Slayer and that's why I looked for the 2014 White Dwarf model, the vampire hunter one. Simply painting his hair and beard orange was enough to turn him into a Slayer/Unforged.
Last thing left was to include some Warhounds for Mordheim. I turned to my bits box and found a few pet griffons from some Empire kits, so I simply stuck them on round bases and painted them. In AoS I'll use them as gryphounds. Granted, they are way smaller than the official model... but as much as it is easier to hide them, the area of the table they cover with their effects is way smaller, so I guess no one will really complain about them.
And that's all from me for this month! For the next get ready for something heavily destructive!
The Realm of Life can probably rest easy given the length of time it's taking me to put this lot together, but I think I'm getting there - mainly thanks to an upcoming tournament! The tournament has caused me to rally a wider selection of Nurgle units, so that's the key problem at the moment. Still, Nurgle's easy to paint. Isn't it...?
So in addition to the Daemon Start Collecting box I began with, I've added the Glotkin and a Maggoth Lord to the workbench. I've also purchases a second Start Collecting box, though the Herald and Nurglings from this one were for a wee conversion job - my own take on Epidemius. I'm not a fan of the GW model (£30 for something that looks like it melted before being molded), so I thought I'd take a crack at my own version. Also, I'm running a list with two Plague Catapults to rack up lots of wounds early doors - so I think it's only polite to make Epidemius look as cool as possible, and to make him fairly easy to spot and shoot at!
The palanquin is scratch built from balsa and sprues, with the "bum flag" from the Glotkin model as a banner. The thing in his hand will be an abacus (I've since greenstuffed it, and it does look more like one than I feared it might). On the whole I quite like the size and sense of balance on it, so hopefully it'll look okay painted.
The Maggoth Lord was already constructed, so I just had to paint him up. The upper body of the rider is magnetised so I can run it as any of the three Lords, but after a few games I think Bloab brings the most to my army - he can cast two spells, and his shooting attack is quite good as well. You can see the Realm of Life basing I've gone for - the plants are aquarium plants that I've melted holes in and ink washed to look diseased.
And here are all the finished Plague Bearers and the Herald. I'm going to try and add another ten Bearers for the tourney, but that seems unlikely at the moment - the Glotkin is built but I've only just started painting him/it/them, and I think it's going to take a while.
I enjoyed doing the bases for these, but it is another time consuming stage, so I may have made a bit of rod for my back. Also now, with the Grand Alliances, it does kind of mean I should base all my Chaos units like this, and I'm not sure it suits every army. I might stick to the same basic colour and textures, and change the foliage/debris to suit the different marks of chaos.
I also have three Drones that are nearly done, so I should be able to post those soon. Other than that I have some re-basing to do on my Blight Kings, and my second Plagueclaw to paint up. And just a little over three weeks to the tourney... oh dear, I've got some work to do.
Like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, I'm LATE !!
This won't stop me, though. As said in my last post, I was away from home in March, and then hoped to catch up in April. Unfortunately I was slow to get back to my painting station, and a double combo league/tournament showed up for Warmachine, which is chaining me all April long on PP models. Damn it !
My March miniatures are therefore still WIP (see below). They do have at least three colors if I want to force them on a battlefield, but that's it... And I haven't started on my April goal yet !
The good thing about Stormcast is that you don't have that many models, so below is my added target for Month 3, which will come on top of my Month 2 miniatures. I'll paint everything in May, along with Month 4... I know that it looks like a slippery slope, but I'm pretty confident that I can make it. So May will be all about AoS !
Yes, my target for April is one hero and a piece of scenery. Why scenery ? Because the Baleful Realmgate is part of one Warscroll Battalion, The Wardens of the Realmgate.
It includes 1 Lord-castellant, 1 unit of Gryph hounds, 1 unit of Protectors, 2 units of Liberators and the Realmgate. Once I have caught up with all my painting, I'll have everything needed to field it.
The Wardens of the Realmgate warscroll is the core idea behind my whole Stormhost, I believe it might even be the batallion that gave me the idea for this army concept (and probably influenced me a little bit on the name?). It was therefore obvious that I should start this Bataillon as soon as I had finished the starter set.
Because of the high cost (in $) of Stormcast Eternals, it took me 3 months to gather the miniatures needed, but now it's there !
I'll paint the Realmgate in the Beast realm colors, as this is the first chamber I'm depicting in the Rise of Empires blog stories (I'll also try to catch up on my writing there).
I'll see you in May then, with all this stuff painted on top of my next monthly target !
Hey guys. Been a while. SCGT came and went, and I got a bit distracted by that. So to get back into the blogging groove, I made a little guide. Undead energy has always been green, to me. I wasn't pleased with the official light blue-green spirits, so I made my own scheme. It is supposed capture the magical power of the spirits. Got a few questions of how I did my spirits, so I decided to make a little guide.
Starting off, let's look at the paints.
These are in reverse order, oops.
First up is the base layer. This is all Incubi Darkness. Just cover everything you want to be glowing and green!
Next up is Kabalite Green. Just splash it on there. I call it "wetbrushing". Sorta like a drybrush, but with a lot of paint on the brush. Read it off some GW guide some time. Used a M layer brush from GW for speed. No need to be careful, really. Make sure you paint across the entire base layer, if you want to blend we can do that later. The only thing you want to avoid is the deepest recesses. Also, don't use so much that you start losing details. That's also important.
The third layer is Warpstone glow. Kind of the same deal. Just wetbrush the stuff right on. Just be a teensy bit more careful here. You'll want to be able to see all three colours, more or less. No need to worry about details. Spirits are pretty random. As long as the colours largely conform to expectations, it's no issue.
Next up is the wash. Get out your Biel-Tan Green. Apply directly to model. Work it into every detail. This will give your spirit a nice blended green tone from dark to bright. Take a little care that it doesn't pool too much though. You'll get bubbles rather than blends if it does. Wash it all, then go over with a clean brush to soak back up some of the excess wash.
Bonus tip: if you want to blend the energy into the rest of the model, this is where you do it. Put a little of the wash over the non-spirit model. Once that's dry, thin out some more Biel-Tan, 3:2 Biel and thinner. Put this quite far up on the model and all the way down to the spirit. After drying, put another layer of the same a bit further down, and repeat even further down for the last. Should give you a dark, smooth transition.
You're half-way! Four layers and four different paints. Your spirits are looking suitably random, but now it's time to push the quality up a notch. If you're speedpainting, you could end here, but don't. You won't regret it.
Now it's time to crack out a sharper brush and the Sybarite Green. I used a S layer brush. What you want to do here is highlight all the raised edges. This will really define the spirit energy, whilst the sybarite gives it that eerie colour. Be especially aware of the face and arms. The "head" should clearly stand out, so give the "hair" a nice, clear line of paint. Keep it to the raised area though, you want that depth in between the hairs. This stage is a lot more work than the previous ones, but is very rewarding. This is where it goes from "swirly green stuff" to "undead energy".
Last layer for most of the model is coming up! Get out the Moot Green. Pick out all the little lines all over the place. Make sure you're painting in the same direction as the model is flowing. Be careful how you pick out details. Don't be afraid, but make sure that only raised areas get any paint. Finding little raised bits within recesses is nice though, so give them a little highlight too. Lots of little stuff like that, so be vigilant whilst you paint. Once you've done that across the entire model, you're done! Almost. The spirity part is done, all nice and green and creepy energy. Just one more bit to go.
Grab that Ulthuan Grey. Here you just want to put in on the face and "hairs". Don't overdo it, just a little ways back from the forehead. Enough to suggest a special coalescing of energy, but not enough to be anything of its own. This layer really highlights the face and makes it stand out. Make sure to get the mouth as well.
Last step is to re-wash the faces. Biel-Tan is the answer. This blends the face in better, and gives it that green tint. Now the face is clearly visible. Really drives home the "spirit" part of the spirit host. There's a soul here, trapped in the mortal realms.


The Sunderbans (a group of 102 islands spread over West Bengal and Bangladesh) is one of the most impoverished, neglected and remote regions.
The area is prone to cyclones and has no basic facilities such as drinking water, electricity and medical care.
The nearest 16-bed Government Primary Health Centre is in Gosaba, 2 hours away by boat.
For specialized treatment, patients need to travel to Kolkata, which they can ill afford, both economically and in terms of distance.
This distance proves fatal for patients, particularly snakebite and stroke victims.
Over the past year, we have run mobile medical clinics at Bijaynagar, Bali Island (weekly), Hetalbari, Mollakhali Island (bi-monthly) and Ram Gopalpur, near Godkhali (bi-monthly).
As of September 2014, we have been running one clinic (Ram Gopalpur, near Godkhali) due to the opening of our OPD (Out Patients' Department) on Bali Island.
Approximately 250 patients of all ages, with various medical conditions, attend the clinics.
Specialised medical care is provided, e.g. the eye clinic offers treatment, medicines and glasses.
Individual medical cases are attended to and treatment and surgery is provided.
Our vision is to expand the programme to include the most remote islands of the Sunderbans in the near future.

Is it Ever Appropriate to Go Up to a Celebrity?
And my awkward celebrity encounter.
A few years ago, I was at the farmers market with Emily when I spotted a celebrity I've loved for years. As soon as I saw the comedian Tig Notaro, strolling through the produce with her wife and twins, I froze. It didn't take long for Emily, who knows how much I adore her, to notice. My love for Tig began six years ago, when I saw her open for Kenan Thompson at a comedy event in college. Tig stole the show to the point that Jonah and I still quote from her mostly improvised set. To this day, I'll listen to any podcast she's a guest on (and only because hers no longer airs), will take any opportunity to see her live, and recommend the documentary Tig to anyone who will listen. (You, reading! Go watch Tig!) Now that she was standing five feet away from me, I didn't know what to do.
Asking for a photo was out of the question. I stopped doing that after I scared the living daylights out of Sarah Koenig in New York at the height of Serial (she was, understandably, not used to being recognized...), and also once I realized that just because paparazzi take photos of celebrities doesn't mean I should too. After hesitating for a moment, Emily encouraged me to tell Tig how much her comedy has meant to me.
I hovered a respectful distance away, as she paid for her rutabagas, before pouncing, i.e., saying in the meekest voice ever: "Excuse me? Tig?" To be honest, I blacked out a little when she turned around, but I'm pretty sure I said something along the lines of, "I just wanted to say 'thank you' and tell you how much I've enjoyed your comedy."
She couldn't have been nicer, but her response surprised me. "Thank you! How do you like One Mississippi?" she asked, referencing her then-new television show. As much as I worship her, I hadn't watched an episode and told her so, apologizing.
The conversation was quick, and I walked away feeling dumb. I'm glad I approached her—in no way do I compare myself to Tig, but this job has made me recognize the value of IRL interactions with people who would otherwise remain separated by a screen or stage—but the whole interaction felt weird. It was impossible to feel authentic when we were both playing out such common tropes: Over-excited fan and gracious celebrity.
In a city where you truly do see celebrities on a weekly basis, I still wonder if it's ever appropriate to go up to them? Does it depend on their star power? How about on the amount they've personally impacted your life? Whether they're with their kids or not? Is it more appropriate to approach a celebrity at a grocery store than it is at dinner? Is it kinder to let them know how much of a personal impact they've had on you, or let them continue their errand interruption-free?
Most of the time I see a celebrity, I text my girlfriends about whatever mundane task I just witnessed a demigod performing: I saw Lake Bell buying cereal! Brad Pitt was putting gas in his car! (Actually, Geoffrey's the one who saw Brad, and our entire office will forever be jealous.) Gwyneth Paltrow was eating dinner with her family! I once almost face-planted off a treadmill when Kevin Hart walked in front of it at the same time I was listening to him coach me on the Nike Run Club app. For some reason, every one of my friends has seen Conan O'Brien (his height and red hair does make him easier to spot) and Dave Franco is at the same restaurant every time I go (in fact, Anne saw him there yesterday).
At least when it comes to Tig, I finally found my answer. In her book I'm Just a Person (the title is meant to mock the "Stars! They're just like us!" culture), she recounts an interaction with a fan:
She was standing on a moving walkway at an airport in North Carolina when a man walked past her and said, "Tig, what's up!" then kept rolling on. She wrote in her deadpan humor, "Near-daily I think about him, and I hope if I tell this story enough I can reach him somehow. We could be friends."
Maybe that's the answer, but I still can't see myself being suave enough to say, "Gwyneth! What's up?" I'll probably just end up texting my friends.
I'd love to hear: What's your take? Would you ever approach a celebrity? Have you regretted talking to a celebrity? Share in the comments below so we can all reminisce and name drop together.

In a new research piece, Goldman Sachs has noted that the "fiscal outlook for both Italy and the United States looks poised to go from bad to worse." However, the market doesn't appear to be responding to that prediction. Why not?
Goldman's Allison Nathan turned to two outside experts, Harvard economist Carmen Reinhart and Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, in order to help gauge the importance of the government's debt on the economy. A higher debt is a sign of a weak economy and lower economic growth rates over the long-term.
"This is in part because high debt levels constrain governments' ability to respond to adverse shocks," said Reinhart. "So even in a country like the US, where I don't expect a crisis, history suggests there are reasons to be concerned. The most desirable way to reduce debt is through growth, and countries should take advantage of periods of relatively stronger growth to reduce debt. This, of course, is the opposite of the current approach in the US." And it has been for quite some time.
But many others believe that not just the government's debt crisis, but the global debt crisis could cause a major economic meltdown that we will have a difficult time recovering from.
We have been adding more than a trillion dollars to the national debt per year since 2008, and we continue to steal more than 100 million dollars every single hour of every single day from future generations of Americans.
The only thing one can do is shield themselves from the debt problem. Make every attempt to pay off any debts you can and avoid going into debt any further. It's a hole that's difficult for an individual to climb out of, but it's now become impossible for the government. The debt bubble will eventually burst as all bubbles do, and how you make preparations will determine to what extent you'll be financially ruined when it does.

To What Extent Was Nazi Germany a Totalitarian State?
To what extent can Nazism in power be seen as totalitarianism in the period 1933-1939? Totalitarianism is often defined as a system of government where the state controls all aspects of life, individuals are subordinated to the state and any parties of differing opinion are suppressed, a description that fits the rule of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1939 perfectly. During Hitler's rule, he embedded all these totalitarian characteristics as evident with the many features and atrocities of his reign like Terror and Repression through events like the Night of Long Knives, Policies that gave him complete control of all aspects of German lifestyle and Propaganda used to ensure people were subordinated to his totalitarian regime. Hitler ensured he would be an unchallenged dictator with no effective opposition in order to maintain power by eliminating enemies through acts of atrocity or through force through Terror and Repression, most notably the Night Of Long Knives. The aim of Night of Long Knives was to eliminate all who Hitler perceived as a threat to Germany and his cause like leaders of the SA and other 'enemies' like communists and Jews. The SA were seen as thugs that tainted the image of Hitler, communists were seen as a major threat as they believed in equality of all people while also appealing to the working class and Jews were seen as inferior to the purity of German race, all these factors contributed to the atrocities as Hitler looked to establish himself as Fuhrer. Following the Night of Long Knives, Hitler made it clear that he was the supreme autocratic ruler of Germany, he had complete control as he was able to get away with his evil act and had the power derived from his rise to dictatorship to decide whether people lived or died for his own benefit. The fact that Hitler was beginning to fear his place and revolt from the SA army is supported by SA
Holocaust Essay: The Role Of Race In The Holocaust
The Role of Race in the Holocaust B: Analytical body Through my research I tried to look for the role of race in the Nazi System, which probably caused the holocaust which is locked chambers that are spread with poisonous killing gas aimed for killing the Jews. Race is seen as the most illogical component of the Nazis system, which made it a dictatorial regime capable of committing acts of evil. Fundamental to all Hitler's policies his absolute belief in the dominance of the Aryan Race and all need to prepare the German people for its role as master of Europe. According to Nazis race theorists, that the essential characteristics of the typical "Aryan" included a tall and slim build, a narrow face and nose, a famous well-known chin, afresh skin, and a gold or blond hair. Hitler aimed gradually to purify the German race, and this would be achieved by eliminating racial mixing, to create in von Shirach's words "the perfect and complete human animal- the superman" the main obstacle to this as Hitler thought was the "eternal enemy", the Jews.
Research Pp,: Holocaust's Schutzstaffel (B-Grade)
The Nazis rose to governmental power through a long, thought-out series of actions that turned Hitler's leadership into a dictatorship and started the Holocaust and World War II. The origin of the Nazi group was Hitler's opinion that the German people and the entire world needed a solution to the so-called "Jewish question"; which he preached to young German men everywhere. His belief was that there was need for a pure and elite race, specifically the Aryan race, and he would go to extraordinary lengths in
Explain Why Hitler Tried to Introuduce the Policy of Volksgemeinschaft
The Nazis felt like this political group was trying to undermine their "people's community". Hitler made it very clear that he did not want the communists in his people community when he and the Nazi party realised their 25 point programme of 1920.However the Nazis also portrayed the socialist and any other party of which had taken part in coalition governments during the Weimar republic as they collaborated with communism and Jewish democracy. Hitler wanted to introduce the policy of volksgeminschaft in this case because if he could eliminate the communists and the other parties who were associated as collaborating with them, the Nazis could then get their votes as they had a high amount of supporters, which would mean them having the majority and coming into power. Anybody who the Nazis believed that represented a threat to the racial purity of which Hitler wanted would come under the socialism categories. This included, Jews, gypsies and those who were seen as mentally or physically unfit.
Was World War 2 the Result of Hitler's Master Plan ?
Hitler expressed that Germans were superior and all other races were irrelevant. Germany expressed this belief towards the United States And Jewish civilians. He enforced this belief once he first started his rule. Thus, resulted foreign policy. In his foreign policy, it stated to destroy the Treaty of Versailles, which was what Germany had to adhere to due to their defeat in World War II.
Nazi Use Of Violence To Gain Power
The Red Fighting Force was an organisation of militant communists who beat people up and forced them to support the communist party. The German people feared communism, and the Nazi party appeared to be the only group who were effectively
Stalin's Personal Dictatorship
The key defendants that were removed were Trotsky, Kamenev, Buhkarin, Yagoda and Zinoviev. This was significant in allowing Stalin to establish his personal dictatorship as they removed all of Stalin's rivals from the 1920's thus creating fear among the USSR showing that if you did anything that Stalin disliked, your life would be in danger, particularly because these people had been in positions of power therefore people obeyed all of Stalin's orders. This lead to the wider terror among ordinary people. They were denounces, arrested and sent to Gulags by the NKVD. It is estimated that between 1934-8, 20 million Russians were sent to these gulags.
What Was Adolf Hitler's Power
The Holocaust was a time of devastation and corruption; it was a time of cruelty. Adolf Hitler, who started the epidemic against the Jews, tried to make the world "perfect." Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat for Germany's economic problems which ultimately led to World War II. Hitler not only became a powerful and influential man, but also a judgmental man. Hitler blinded people with his influence.
Similarities Between Animal Farm And Joseph Stalin
Hunger for complete control and raw power makes for inattentive leaders who make unwise decisions due to the ignorance of the important problems. Adolf Hitler, for example, made the wrong choices when it came to WWII and his distraction led to the downfall of his empire and the victory of the war by the Americans. He became obsessed with creating a perfect society, and in doing so he created the biggest genocide the world has ever seen- The Holocaust. Hitler was obsessed with making sure that everyone was a follower of his rule, and anyone that went against what he said was executed. The same is true in the novella Animal Farm, when Napoleon ruthlessly slaughters many animals because he is under the impression that they are in cohorts with is enemy, Snowball, and are sabotaging his rule by committing crimes that Snowball has told them to
Did the Nazi's Have Full Complete Control over Germany in 1934?
The Nazi party now forced to think tactically and with the burning of the Reichstag building through a communist Hitler was able to blame the extremist party for the beginning of a revolution and with President Hindenburg's approval he arrested the 'enemies of the state'. With this fortunate accident, the 'missing' SPD party and the agreement with Zentrum Hitler was able to get his two thirds majority to pass the Enabling Act which entitled him to pass laws without parliamentary approval. Although on the surface Hitler seemed to have a lot of control, this was not complete, due to the fact that President Hindenburg could over rule him and perhaps even terminate him as chancellor. This power, however, led to multiple sudden adjustments to Germany, after becoming a one party state by July 1933, through making the SPD party and all other competitors illegal, he continued to set loose on Germany's very powerful and threatening trade unions. Trade unions posed a strong threat to the NSDAP due to their power in Germany, considering their support for the SPD and even KPD.
Totalitarianism - Germany
Nazi Germany can be classed as a Totalitarian State. With Hitler as Fuhrer and his ministers in control of most aspects of German social, political, legal, economical, and cultural life during the years 1933 to 1939, they mastered complete control and dictatorship upon Germany. In a totalitarian state, the party leadership maintains total control over the government. The criteria required for a complete totalitarian regime consist of a one party state, strict ideology, Propaganda, Censorship, Terror, Strong leader, One Party Rule, Economic Control and Extreme Nationalism. Hitler achieved Nazi Germany's single party state through the various stages of his accession to power.

The Hundred. Is it everything we were hoping for?
August 7, 2021 Stewart Freer
I've really enjoyed the Hundred so far. I was one of those who were very unsure whether we needed another format of the game. The people running sports are always wondering about how to attract new and preferably younger fans to the sport, that was one of many reasons why the bigwigs at the twelve Super League clubs were pursuing their own league. This new competition does have the backing of the England Cricket Board, rather than teams trying to run off and make their own competition up, which is slightly better I suppose.
A reason for this new competition was the ECB wanting to compete with the popularity of the Indian Premier League and the Australian Big Bash League. Both are highly successful domestic cricket leagues that attract the world's best players. The ECB was hoping to do the same with a new competition. But while both the IPL and the BBL are T20 leagues, The ECB already has a T20 in place that the counties take part in. It has attracted a number of star players, usually those who have signed on with the various counties. Realising their T20 league wasn't as attractive as its competition, the ECB hoped to kill two birds with one stone. Attract new and younger fans to the game of cricket and bring over the world's best players to increase the reputation of English domestic cricket, kind of like how we saw the influx of foreign talent into the Premier League in the 90s and 2000s. That influx improved the league and made it far more attractive both for fans to watch and players to play in. It doesn't hurt that Premier League clubs are usually able to pay high wages almost across the board. The ECB may well be hoping that the Hundred does something similar.
The best aspect of this tournament for me is that the men's and women's games are being run concurrently and the prize money is equal between the competitions. It is a wonderful step forward to achieving equal pay in sports. The issue of base pay still needs to be addressed but this is a good first step. As well as the issue of pay, this tournament has been able to shine a really positive light on the women's game of cricket. It has really highlighted the quality of the players and has offered up matches that have been just as good and just as exciting as the men's matches. Which is another positive for the Hundred as a concept. It is a form of cricket that can be played in just over a couple of hours, and compete with sports like football and rugby for viewers. The games have often culminated in very exciting finishes, which have been great to watch. The further limit on the length of the innings means that, as the marketing says, every ball counts.
There are a couple of things that I'm not sure about though. I don't like the idea of franchise sports, or drafts and auctions. I don't see why they couldn't have linked it to the counties rather than more general, almost anonymous, teams linked to cities. I know that some counties were not keen on the idea and that may be why they didn't link it with the counties. They may well have wanted to include an auction or draft and linking the competition to the counties would have gone against that if they could simply use the players who were already under contract with them. Not to mention that I watched the third day of the Test Match against India and I still found it more entertaining than the Hundred.

Hello, we are looking for 2 more people to move into a gorgeous house on SCSU campus. We are seniors here at State looking to finish up our degrees. We are quiet, nice, easy going people that can get along with most everyone. We would all need to be compatible to get along and make it through the year, so I would like to meet up before we sign the lease to talk. There is already one boy and one girl so gender doesn't matter. We aren't huge partiers and would appreciate roommates that are responsible.
The house is very spacious with plenty of room for all 4 roommates. The location couldn't get much more perfect. We can set up another viewing so you can see the house, but you won't be disappointed. Rent is about $300 a month a person plus electric and internet so lets say around $350 or less. There is 2 bathrooms and 2 showers in the house along with a dishwasher and lots of space.

Andrew Luck kept the Indianapolis Colts rolling with their AFC-best fifth straight win by picking apart the Cincinnati Bengals for 344 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-0 blanking on Sunday.
The quarterback shined the brightest of former Cardinal stars now in the NFL, a group that also featured Doug Baldwin (Seattle Seahawks) go for 123 receiving yards and one touchdown, Stepfan Taylor (Arizona Cardinals) find the end zone twice in Oakland and Coby Fleener (Indianapolis Colts) gain 64 yards on four receptions from Luck.
Fourteen ex-Stanford players saw the field in Week 7, with David DeCastro making it 15 as he started at right guard for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football against Houston.
Luck completed 27 of 42 passes and ran four times for five yards in the Colts' victory. Fleener had four receptions for 64 yards. And former Cardinal wide receiver Griff Whalen returned two punts for 13 yards and one kickoff for 27 yards for Indianapolis while ex-Cardinal Ryan Hewitt played for the Bengals as the H-back.
Meanwhile, Taylor set a career-high with two touchdowns -- one rushing and one receiving. He carried 12 times for 40 yards and had two receptions for 19 yards for Arizona.
Baldwin produced his second-best receiving output during his NFL career in a 28-26 loss at the St. Louis Rams. Teammate Richard Sherman had four tackles from his cornerback position.
Defensive back Johnson Bademosi and tight end Jim Dray both played in Cleveland's 24-6 loss at Jacksonville. Toby Gerhart, meanwhile, was sidelined again for the Jaguars with an injured foot.
Jonathan Martin saw action at offensive tackle for the 49ers in their 42-17 loss at Denver, linebacker Trent Murphy had three tackles in Washington's 19-17 win against Tennessee, safety Michael Thomas had one tackle for Miami in a 27-14 win at Chicago, and tight end Levine Toilolo had two catches for 20 yards in Atlanta's 29-7 loss at Baltimore.
In other games not involving ex-Stanford players, Palo Alto High grad Davante Adams caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay's 38-17 victory over the visiting Carolina Panthers.


When companies want to advertise a highly-detailed promotion, a brochure is often the best marketing method. Brochures are able to showcase special offers through specific, targeted imagery. Using rich photography appeals to readers' senses and can encourage their buying decisions. This HHHunt Homes brochure design aims to communicate the excitement, as well as elegance, of an HHHunt property. By helping potential customers visualize the available properties, a brochure can encourage them to find their new home.
Throughout the design, we let the properties speak for themselves. By making the photography the focal point of the page, readers become immersed. The brochure gives them a sense of being in the room, walking through one of the properties, and eventually, making it home.
HHHunt Homes is a home builder primarily located in Virginia and North Carolina. For over 40 years, HHHunt Homes has been making the dream of homeownership come true. What really makes this company special is their commitment to HHHunt buyers. The company prides themselves on customer service, construction excellence, and unparalleled value.
This selection of the HHHunt Homes brochure design were just some of over 4,000 projects we have completed for HHHunt. Other marketing initiatives also included a website, direct mail campaigns, flyers, invitations, email marketing, business cards, and billboards.

March Social Action
At Nashuva we believe that some of the greatest community-building and life-affirming experiences happen when we serve. Our mission is to serve together, as a community, to bring light to a dark corner of our city.
Nashuva's Social Action serves many areas of need. We strive to protect the environment, alleviate poverty, support people in rehabilitation, bring joy to the elderly…and more.
Our volunteer services are carefully crafted to reach specific segments of the population throughout the calendar year. We partner with select organizations to help the elderly, homeless, disadvantaged, people in transition and, last but not least, Mother Nature.
Over the years, we've paired up with PATH, TreePeople, Upward Bound, Operation Gratitude, Project Angel Food, Pico-Union/Hope Street, Miriam House, Habitat for Humanity, Fruit Forward and Project Chicken Soup, to name just a few.
At Nashuva, we also understand that Social Action begins at home. In addition to serving our city, Social Action seeks to develop and nourish relationships among our own volunteers. Our events are designed for team and connection-building that has naturally led to lasting friendships among our volunteers.
Join us. We welcome your commitment at any level. Here, you will find warmth and fulfillment in selfless service to your community.
Please add your name to our Social Action Mailing List so that you can be notified
of upcoming events.
See our March and April Social Events below:
Saturday, March 24th
Prayer Service & March for Our Lives
PLEASE NOTE: NEW LOCATION FOR PRAYER SERVICE: 9:15am to 9:45 am
March begins at 10:00am to 1:00pm
Please join Nashuva Social Action as we unite with the survivors of the Parkland Florida High School Massacre at the March for our Lives on Saturday, March 24th. Fear has no place in schools, help us advocate for stronger gun control!
This Saturday morning people all over this country will gather to make their voices heard on the importance of protecting our kids and communities from gun violence.
Please join Nashuva at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown LA for a Prayer Service from 9:15 – 9:45 am, immediately before the Los Angeles March for Our Lives begins.
Also, people that are not staying in the hotel will need to tell security at the door that they are there for the Nashuva prayer event in order to be allowed inside. There will be security asking for room keys, but you won't need one, please say you are "With Nashuva's Prayer service" and will be welcomed inside. You can enter the hotel on either Grand or Olive Street.
Because it is Shabbat and because we are a community of PRAYER in ACTION we pray before we march because we believe that prayer is not a substitute for action, it is a prelude to action. We pray, because we seek to unite our highest intentions with effective and passionate engagement.
We will join together as a community to offer our prayers to God for a more peaceful world and then take to the streets to make our voices heard in pursuit of that dream.
As you know this is an issue that's very personal for Rabbi Levy:
Dear Nashuva and Friends,
I look forward to seeing you at the Biltmore at 9:15 am for our Prayer Service.
May this Shabbat awaken us all to the call of our souls and our responsibility to create a safer and saner world, Amen
In the spring of 2000, just a year after the Columbine shooting, I was invited by the Harvard School of Public Health to be the keynote speaker at a conference dedicated to ending gun violence in our society. Every single person attending the conference had lost a loved one to gun violence, including myself. The pain in the room was palpable. Together we promised to do all we could to end gun violence. Alas, over the last 18 years the situation in our country has grown more and more heartbreaking. On average there are nearly 13,000 gun homicides a year in the U.S.
Enough! Let the children lead us to a new day!
We look forward to praying and marching with you this Shabbat,
Wishing you and your family a time full of light, hope, joy and peace,
Rabbi Naomi Levy

Q: Angular + Grails:problems with binding on multipart request I know that it is probably not so common, but maybe somebody will know answer.
I need to make request to Grails action which contains normal information (json data) and file as a multipart. I have to send all the data as formData and this is nicely supported by ng-file-upload angular directive. So I do:
Upload.upload({
        url: config.REST + params.method,
        file: params.file,
        data: params.data,
        headers: {
            'X-Auth-Token': token
        }
});

Request is okay, 200 OK but there is error on backend grails side. In params.data there is JSON like that:
{
    pet: {
        name: "Azor",
        //...
    },
    attrs: [
        {
            //....
        }
    ]
}

File is from that plugin and this is the only thing which correctly bind with command object in Grails. In that action I have command object:
class PetCommand {
Pet pet
List<PetsAttribute> petsAttributes
MultipartFile file
}

And action:
def authCreate(PetCommand petCommand) {
    try {
        //...
    }
    catch(e) {
        log.error 'Error: ' + e.message, e
        render([status: "error", message: e.message] as JSON)
    }
}

The problem is that data from that request is not properly binded to command object. petCommand.pet and petCommand.petsAttributes are null, only petCommand.file is okay. It work well if I send it as JSON but file cannot be uploaded in that way.
I println-ed params and in params we have all data. It is formatted as formData so probably because of it command object can't bind it.

A: Try to attach the file manually to your command object.
def somePostSaveAction() {
    MultipartHttpServletRequest request = (MultipartHttpServletRequest) request
    MultipartFile file = request.getFile('file')
    UploadCommand cmd = new UploadCommand()
    bindData(cmd, params)
    cmd.file = file
    cmd.filename = file.name
    cmd.filesize = file.size
    cmd.filetype = file.contentType
}

"As part its mandate, the Task Force developed a draft Judicial Protocol that allows courts in different provinces to work together to coordinate these competing class actions as they move toward a hearing or settlement. It is seeking the comments of interested parties, including members of the class action bar, on its provisions."
"The purpose of the consultation is to ensure that the Judicial Protocol will meet the needs of counsel, the judiciary, and parties affected by class action litigation, and will be effective in solving the problems that may arise in multijurisdictional class actions."
"The consultation period will be open until July 8, 2011. The Task Force will consider the comments received prior to preparing a finalized version of the Protocol and sending it to the CBA for its endorsement"
The CBA maintains a National Class Action Database "to give lawyers and the public easy access to court documents submitted with regard to class action lawsuits currently underway across the country."

anxiety, depression and stress continuing, experts warn of serious consequences if companies don't prioritize workers' emotional wellbeing
Workers' risks of developing depression, anxiety and other mental issues have declined since last month, according to Total Brain's latest Mental Health Index. But those risks still are significantly higher than they were at the start of COVID-19, proving the pandemic is causing serious—and chronic—mental health issues.
"[Mental health] is significantly more negative overall," Total Brain CEO Louis Gagnon said Friday during a webinar discussing the results, adding that female and younger employees have been hit harder by mental health issues. From July to August, the risk of anxiety among employees declined 7% while depression risk declined by 23%. Still, depression risk is 56% higher now than pre-pandemic, while anxiety risk is 45% higher than in February. The index, in partnership with the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions, One Mind at Work, and the HR Policy Association and its American Health Policy Institute, is based on 500 anonymized assessments randomly selected among thousands of Total Brain assessments taken each week.
Chronic stress, anxiety and depression also are hurting workers' cognitive performance, according to the index. Sustained attention, the driver of task completion, was down 31% in August when compared to pre-pandemic. And planning, the capacity to make decisions and drive strategy, was down 15% since February.
Though it's positive that mental health risks have decreased some since last month, "the numbers themselves are shocking," said Michael Thompson, president and CEO of the National Alliance. The numbers point to the fact that mental health issues are becoming more chronic and, potentially, a bigger issue that won't go away any time soon.
Mental health issues will "far exceed the duration and impact of COVID itself," said Garen Staglin, chairman of One Mind at Work. "There's no vaccine for anxiety. There's no vaccine for depression." In addition to COVID-19 and its associated effects, a weak job market, racial tensions and the upcoming election are adding to employees' anxieties. "All of this is impacting our lives," he said.
Additionally, there are many more anxieties at home as the lines of domestic life blur with those of work and school, said Colleen McHugh, executive vice president of the American Health Policy Institute and strategic advisor for HR Policy Association.
The issues should be a warning to employers and to HR managers, in particular, to do more to help employees. "Wellness is one of the most critically important issues for employers—it's unprecedented times for HR trying to help their employees," McHugh said. Employers also need to encourage workers to take time off, which most employees have not been doing this year.
Although many employers are making strides on mental health benefits and other programs aimed to help employees, significant work remains.
"The time is now to take action," Staglin said. "Don't wait until the wakeup call of a suicide in your workplace demands you to take action. I promise if you don't take action, you will have that wakeup call."
