A Protestor Crashed A Remembrance Day Ceremony In BC & People Were Outraged (VIDEO)
She referred to current COVID-19 health restrictions and vaccine mandates.

Western Canada Editor
KelownaNow | Twitter
A protestor hijacked a Remembrance Day ceremony in B.C. and started talking about vaccine mandates and COVID-19 health restrictions.
The woman told crowds at Kelowna's City Park: "A veteran once said, 'If they ask you for your papers, they have already forgotten.' I believe this Remembrance Day has more significance than all the ones we've had since World War 2."
She also added, "We are in the midst of World War 3."
A video posted by KelownaNow shows members of the crowd, who had attended to pay their respects to fallen soldiers, react angrily to her comments.

One said: "It is not about you, it is about our veterans," while others added: "Not the right time, not the right place."
In another video posted to Global News, a man pointed to his medals and said: "Take a look at these, this is not the f****** day."
Another woman approached the speaker and said: "How frickin dare you. This is not about you, this is about the veterans. You're disgracing this ceremony."
The woman was among a small group of protestors who attended the event. It is not yet known if any arrests were made.

Toronto Just Opened Up 8,000 More COVID-19 Vaccination Appointments & You Can Book Now
You can book in for this Sunday or Monday.
Dejan Baric | Dreamstime
The City of Toronto announced this Friday morning that 8,000 new COVID-19 vaccination appointments will be available in the coming days.
So if you're eligible and looking to get your first, second or booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, you'll have a good chance of scoring an appointment for this Sunday, January 16 or Monday, January 17.
Toronto Public Health opened up bookings for appointments this morning at 8 a.m., which will be held at any of Toronto's five mass immunization clinics, including Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Cloverdale Mall, Scarborough Town Centre, Mitchell Field Community Centre, and Woodbine Mall, according to a news release.
"The new vaccination appointments for eligible adults and kids are part of the continuing efforts to make progress in helping Toronto residents get vaccinated. In the last seven days alone, Team Toronto has administered more than 200,000 total COVID-19 vaccine doses," reads the press release.
TPH is urging all eligible residents to book their booster dose due to the "emergence of the new Omicron variant and ongoing community transmission of the Delta variant."
So far in Toronto, 49% of children 5 to 11 years old have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 11% of the same age group have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Individuals 12 years old and up in Toronto currently have a significantly higher vaccination rate; 87% of people have had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and 48% of people have already gotten a third booster dose.
Health Canada has a robust website with all the latest information on COVID-19 vaccines and can answer any questions you may have.

Ontario Is Letting More People Get A 4th Dose Of A COVID-19 Vaccine & Here's Who
Appointments can be booked starting Friday.
Elton Law | Dreamstime
Starting this Friday, more people will be eligible to book an appointment for a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in Ontario.
In a press conference on Thursday, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore revealed that those who are immunocompromised will be added to the list of people who are eligible.
Beginning January 14 at 8 a.m., immunocompromised individuals will be able to start booking their appointments through the provincial vaccine contact centre.
"We are now protecting vulnerable populations further in Ontario," Moore stated in the press conference.
This adds to the list of people who have already been able to book for a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Since December 30, residents in long-term care homes, retirement homes, elder care lodges and other congregate settings have been eligible.
According to the Ontario government, you can get a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine three months (84 days) after you have received a third dose.
As of January 13, 82% of all eligible Ontarians aged 5 and over are fully vaccinated. On top of that, 5,174,098 individuals have been vaccinated with a third dose.
"The science is clear, the more of us with a booster dose, the less of us will end up in the hospital and the intensive care unit," Moore continued.
Moore is also reminding residents to get their third dose if they haven't already. "If you haven't booked your booster dose appointment, please do so as soon as possible."

Canada's Travel Restrictions Are About To Get Stricter & Here's What You Need To Know
Entry exemptions for unvaccinated travellers are changing.👇
@canborder | Instagram, @yvrairport | Instagram
The latest update to Canada's travel restrictions is going to make it much harder for unvaccinated people to enter the country.
As of January 15, 2022, the federal government is removing a number of entry exemptions for travellers that aren't fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
This will include most adults travelling to reunite with family, international students aged 18 or over, professional athletes and their support staff, amateur athletes, temporary foreign workers and essential service providers, as well as a few others.
As of Saturday, the groups listed will only be permitted to enter Canada if they can prove they're fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved for entry into Canada.
Previously, these groups were not required to provide proof of vaccination to enter Canada. Following an announcement in November, they were urged to get a full course of vaccines ahead of January 15.
(2/2) This includes most in the trade and transportation sector and those 18 and older travelling for family reunification or as international students.\nLearn more: http://ow.ly/CFuY50HsT0Z
— Health Canada and PHAC (@Health Canada and PHAC) 1642003222
Some exemptions will remain in place for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travellers, including those entering Canada on compassionate grounds, new permanent residents, newly resettled refugees and children under the age of 18.
Most exempt individuals will be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test pre-arrival, complete Day 1 and Day 8 testing, quarantine for 14 days and submit their information via ArriveCAN.
On January 13, officials from the federal government refuted reports that Canadian truckers and other essential workers would remain exempt from being vaccinated.
"Let us be clear: This has not changed," Transport Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said in a statement. "The information shared yesterday was provided in error."
Canadians are advised to avoid non-essential travel outside Canada until further notice. Spread kindness, not #Covid19 this holiday season by staying home and following public health measures: http://ow.ly/6a5A50HqP0b\u00a0\n\n#NowIsNotTheTimepic.twitter.com/Y3NqrwY0E6
— Canada Border Services Agency (@Canada Border Services Agency) 1641826816
However, he explained that "a Canadian truck driver who is not fully vaccinated can't be denied entry into Canada, [as] Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act and permanent residents may enter Canada by right."
While these groups can't be refused entry, Duclos noted that they will be required to meet all other requirements, including COVID-19 testing and quarantine measures.
Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated foreign national truck drivers, on the other hand, "will be directed back to the United States."

Here's The Official Advice On When To Get Your Booster After Having COVID-19 In Canada
The guidance varies depending on where you live!
For anybody who is wondering when to get a booster after having COVID-19, there is some advice about what to do but it differs depending on where you live.
While some places in Canada don't have any guidance at all right now, four provinces and one territory have released information and here's what they have said.
In December 2021, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said that he believes the "best time immunologically" for someone to get a COVID-19 vaccine booster is 30 days after an active infection.
"It should absolutely be an mRNA vaccine at that time," Moore said. "And it doesn't matter which one, they are both very effective and interchangeable."
In B.C., people should get their booster dose after they've finished self-isolation. It also needs to be at least 10 days since their symptoms started or since the date of their positive test if they didn't have symptoms.
According to Doctors Manitoba, which represents physicians and medical learners, the guidance is to wait for a booster until an individual has recovered from an active infection — which is usually around four weeks.
"You don't need to drop everything and run to the clinic the day that you feel better, but please don't wait three months," said Dr. Joss Reimer, the medical lead for Manitoba's COVID-19 vaccine task force.
At the beginning of January, it was announced by the Quebec government that people who recently had COVID-19 will be able to get their booster as soon as they're symptom-free.
The province said those who had COVID-19 recently should get a dose "as soon as possible" to be better protected from the Omicron variant.
In Yukon, people are being told that they shouldn't get vaccinated while they're infectious or if they still feel unwell from a recent COVID-19 infection.
Instead, the advice is that people should get vaccinated once they're no longer infectious and are feeling better.
On January 11, the World Health Organization's Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition released a statement that said getting multiple booster doses of existing vaccines might not be enough to combat emerging variants.
It said that new vaccines that are designed to fight new variants could be more effective.

Capri, a tiny island in the Bay of Naples, is a well-known paradise. Not only does it boast beautiful natural wonders, but an active lifestyle and culture known for its nightlife, shopping, beaches, and sweet limoncello. If you're interested in learning more about this stunning island and some things to do while here, keep reading. Below you'll find helpful information about the island, how to get around, and some great things you can do while here.
There are a few ways you can get to Capri, but most involve taking a boat. You can hop on a ferry from Naples, or Sorrento which will take you on a calm ride to the island. However, during the busy summer months, a few other ferry routes open to help with the demand. These routes mainly are near the Amalfi Coast which takes tourists from this popular area to the island. You can see the ferry schedule and book tickets at www.ok-ferry.com.
If you're feeling more adventurous, you can instead take a helicopter to Capri. This a much faster and scenic way to get to the island, but it costs much more than if you just took a ferry.
Capri is packed with fun and unique things to do. Below are some of the top adventures you need to try when here.
Capri is the perfect place to take a boat ride. You can rent a boat on your own or sign up for a boat tour around the island. When on your tour, you'll be able to view some of Capri's most treasured natural wonders, like La Grotta Verde (The Green Cave), La Grotta Azzurra (The Blue Cave), La Grotta Bianca (The White Cave), I Faraglioni, and Arco Naturale (The Natural Arch).
This cave is known for its views of the rugged seaside and the strong winds that blow against the cliffs. You can often take a quick swim around in the greenish-tinted waters after entering the cave.
Translated to "The Blue Grotto," this amazing place features a stunning and almost glowing blue water which you can see on your boat tour.
La Grotta Bianca is a cave known for its white cliffs and stalactites that hang from the ceiling inside. The boat will take you into this mysterious cave so you can see its natural wonders for yourself.
These large rock formations tower out in the middle of the sea in Capri. You can take a boat ride around these massive structures so you can see them up close. I Faraglioni consists of three rocks: Stella, Faraglioni di Mezzo, and Faraglioni di Fuori. You might even see the Italian wall lizard, a rare blue species, resting on the side of the rocks.
The Arco Naturale is a beautiful natural structure which is part of the remains of a former grotto. You can take a boat by it to see the rock's unique limestone formations.
The Blue Grotto is a magical spot on the island known for its sparkling blue waters hidden in a cave. There is a small opening at the top of the cave which allows sunlight to pour in which causes the interior of the cave to illuminate in an enchanting way.
To get to the Blue Grotto, you have the choice to either take a boat or walk. You can hire a public or private boat to take you or hike down a staircase that winds down a hill to the grotto.
Marina Grande is the main port in Capri. It's a picturesque site with colorful houses lining the hillside and boats floating peacefully on top of the seawater. You can take a boat ride around the area at the Marina Grande or enjoy some time at the beach relaxing in the hot sand. As the largest port in the city, you'll also find plenty of restaurants and shops to visit.
Known as the "Small Marina," Marina Piccola is thought to be the spot where Odysseus was called by the sirens in Greek mythology. Marina Piccola is situated near I Faraglioni, so you'll get a spectacular view of this sight. The area is also known for its warm sea breezes which blow summer-like air even in the midst of winter. Besides enjoying the sea, you can also hike around the local beach which has many secret places you can hide away in so you can enjoy the beauty of nature.
To get to Marina Piccola you can just walk through Via Krupp which is a winding pathway connecting Capri to this section on the island from the Gardens of Augustus. However, keep in mind that sometimes this trail can be closed due to falling rocks. If this is the case, you can easily hop on a bus to take you here.
If you're looking for stunning panoramic views of the island, you'll want to climb up to Anacapri. Because it's at a much higher elevation than Capri, it's considered to be an independent section of the island.
While in Anacapri, you can stop by the Villa San Michele. The former home of Swedish doctor Axel Munthe, this beautiful place now serves as a museum. Built on the ruins of a former chapel, you'll find plenty of historic structures hidden behind trees and plants on its ground, like a Greek tomb and marble columns. You can walk around the home to learn more about its history and former owner or stroll around outside and enjoy the impressive sea view and gardens. You might even see a few unique birds flying by on their way to a nearby bird sanctuary.
To get to Anacapri, you can use a few forms of transportation. One of the most popular methods is by bus which will take you all the way up to the top. On the other hand, you can also take some time and walk to Anacapri with a special walkway built between the Center of Capri and Anacapri you can safely use.
If you're looking for incredible scenic views while in Capri, you'll definitely want to take a trip up to Monte Solaro. This mountain has one of the tallest peaks in all of Capri and contains historic buildings, such as a blockhouse, that tell of its military importance in the 19th century. Besides Capri, you can even see the nearby Amalfi Coast and Bay of Naples here. To get to Monte Solaro, you can take the chairlift from Anacapri, which will provide an unobstructed view of the area around you.
Capri is home to numerous hiking paths, all of which take you to various attractions on the island. Via Krupp is one of the most popular trails to use and will take you by the coast and Gardens of Augustus. When you're done hiking, the trail will end at Marina Piccola where you can grab a bite to eat or go shopping.
Another popular trail to trek on is the trail to the Villa Jovis. It's a bit of a long walk, but it will take you to high elevations so you get stunning views of Capri. The trail will eventually take you up to the ruins of Villa Jovis, where you can explore this former Roman castle built by Tiberius yourself.
The Punta Carena Lighthouse, built in 1866, looks over the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea and is one of the tallest lighthouses in Italy. It's a great place in Capri to catch the sunset or watch boats float by.
When in Capri one definitely needs to set aside sometime to be at the beach. Capri is home to many different types of beaches most of which are either public or private.
One public beach that's quite the rave in Capri is Spiaggia Libera Marina Grande. This beach is family-friendly and features beautiful blue and green tinted waters you can swim in. You can also stop by Marina Piccola which is home to two cozy public beaches. The beaches provide clear views to I Faraglioni and are known for their tranquil and almost clear waters. Some beaches in Marina Piccola are also private and feature delicious restaurants, like Da Gioia which offers a mouthwatering array of seafood dishes.
Besides this, you can also stop by Gradola, a public beach located near the Blue Grotto. This is one of the only free beaches on the island, so it can be a bit crowded. However, it offers great sunbathing and swimming spots for guests to enjoy.
If you are on th esearch for a private beach to enjoy, you can check out Le Ondine and Lo Smeraldo in Marina Grande. Le Ondine is situated right next to a beach club where you can grab a drink or bite to eat while gazing out at the nearby sea. The beach also features chairs, umbrellas, and other helpful amenities you can use to ensure your stay is perfect.
The other private beach, Lo Smeraldo, offers a fancy restaurant you can dine at while enjoying the soft sea breezes float by you and listening to the waves crash against the nearby rocks. This beach offers views of both the sea and the colorful houses that line the edge of the surrounding cliffs.
Another great private beach in Capri to venture to is Bagni di Tiberio. This beach offers an exclusive restaurant built on a large rock so you can get a unique view while dining inside. If you're not up for a large meal, you can also stop by the beach's snack bar which offers a variety of small treats and delicious drinks you can try. Bagni di Tiberio is also home to Roman ruins which you can explore and swim around in.
La Canzone del Mare has been a famous spot for many people to venture to throughout time. This exquisite beach club is known for being situated next to many of Capri's coves and is one of the top spots to go swimming on the island. The club has astonishing views of I Faraglioni and offers cabanas and even pools you can enjoy. In addition to this, you'll also find a top-of-the-art restaurant which provides amazing views out to sea and serves traditional Italian dishes.
Capri is home to many famous brands worldwide which makes it a great place to go shopping. You'll find authentic Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Loro Piana shops you can wander around in. You'll also find many small and local shops around, such as on Via Le Botteghe, which sell unique products you can buy, like handcrafted clutches and shoes. Capri also offers many food markets you can shop at where you'll find fresh wine, cheese, and limoncello.
You might also be interested in: What to wear in Italy – a packing list for the summer.
Capri Town is one of the two small towns on the island. Capri Town is a bustling section known for its selection of designer shops, exquisite restaurants, and glamorous eateries. One popular spot to go to while in Capri Town is Piazzetta. This square offers many cafes you can stop by at as well as a breathtaking view of the sea. It's truly a place every visitor to Capri needs to see before they leave.
To reach Capri Town, you can hop on a bus to take you there or just take a quick walk up to it. You can even take the funicular if you want a unique experience. You can usually catch one of these cable car rides from Marina Grande.
Villa Jovis, as mentioned earlier in this article, is a magnificent ruin of a former Roman castle built by Tiberius. The castle overlooks the sea and you can walk around on its grounds to not only tour the ruins and walk down crumbling staircases, but get incredible views of the island and sea. While here, you can also see the edge of a cliff where servants and guests were once thrown off if they were disobedient to the emperor.
The Certosa di San Giacomo is a former monastery built in 1363 by Giacomo Arcucci. It is considered to be one of the oldest structures in Capri and offers numerous tours so you can explore its interior yourself. You'll be able to see its former pharmacy, women's church, and remarkable frescos.
The Gardens of Augustus are a breathtaking spot to visit while in Capri. The gardens are known not only for their beautiful floral designs, but for its views of the sea which allow you to get even more glimpses of the iconic I Faraglioni. The gardens include a handcrafted seawall carved around the side of a cliff which you can walk on to get panoramic views of the sea around you.
If you're just planning to spend more than a day in Capri, I suggets that you do a day tour around the island. you can You'll be taken around the coast on this 8-9 hour boat trip where you'll be able to see Capri's rugged cliffs and grottos and even take a quick swim or snorkeling adventure in the soothing sea water.
Capri is a dazzling Italian island that offers a little bit of everything. You'll find tranquil beaches to relax at, energetic shopping areas, stunning gardens to wander through, and mouthwatering dishes to please your palate. If you're looking for a destination to venture to, definitely keep Capri in mind. It will be an experience you'll never forget.

You may remember reading that infographics are a useful form of communication because 90% of the information transmitted to the human brain is visual, and visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text. Or maybe you've heard about just what a boon infographics are to social media engagement and come across the study that found images increase Twitter retweets by up to 150%.
The good news is that while many business owners choose to work with a graphic designer, you can also easily create your own infographics using one of the many free online template tools, gathering data and writing the copy, and promoting it yourself. I'm going to divide the process of making your own infographic into three parts to make it easier to follow. In this first part, I'll go over some popular template tools. In the next part, I'll talk about how to find data for your graphic, and in the final part, I'll talk about free tools you can use to format and promote your infographic on social media.
Canva is one of the best infographic template tools available, offering an easy-to-use interface and hundreds of free design elements. It's a great tool for both beginners and marketing managers on a budget, since it doesn't require any graphic design knowledge and allows you to craft professional designs. They do offer premium template or images for a small fee, but even if you choose to take advantage of them, it's less expensive than hiring even the most budget-friendly designer. You can read my full review of this tool here.
Easel.ly is a good tool for beginners because it's fairly intuitive, with its drag-and-drop features and easy-to-resize icons and text boxes. You can choose from 15 basic free templates, including Venn Diagrams, flow charts, and US or world map charts, and then you can add your own background, text, arrows, shapes, and icons. You can see an example infographic that I spent just a few minutes working on below.
Piktochart has a customizable editor that lets you do things like upload your own basic images, choose from existing graphics and images, and easily align graphic elements using a grid-lined template. The only real downside is that the free version only comes with three templates; to get access to more, you would have to purchase a pro account for $29 a month.
Visual.ly is a popular platform for customizing infographics and has been around since 2011. In addition to templates, they offer professional graphic design services (for a price) that have been used by sites like The Huffington Post, LinkedIn, and Virgin Mobile. Visual.ly also contains a huge database of community infographics, so it's a great place to go to get some ideas for presentation if you're stuck.
Infogr.am is the tool to use if you want to create interactive or animated infographics for free (although it also allows you to create static infographics). You just enter your data using the Infogr.am spreadsheet or an uploaded Excel file, and Infogr.am will transform it into an infographic.
Venngage has a good selection of free templates, but one nice aspect that sets it apart from similar tools is that it allows you to track engagement with your infographic. It also allows you to easily add call-to-action widgets like social media buttons, coupons, and sales.
Dipity. If you're specifically interested in creating a linear infographic, Dipity is a useful tool. It's specifically designed to let users organize online content by date and time, and you can add images, videos, audio, website links and more to your customized timeline. This specific type of infographic obviously isn't going to work for every data set, but it's a great way to present some information, as in the Internet Memes timeline below.
ChartsBin allows you to create interactive infographic maps without having to know any coding. You can embed your map on your site and blog simply by copying and pasting the HTML code. The service is free for now, as long as you register on the site by entering your email.
While templates can be a great way to make free, professional infographics when you don't have a lot of design experience, you should take the time to thoroughly customize your graphics so that they look less like templates and more like your own brand. Look for opportunities to upload your own backgrounds and images for a more personal touch, and remember to add calls-to-action, such as social media sharing buttons, when you can.
Now that you've learned about several different free infographic templates, your next step will be filling your template with engaging information that web users will want to share. In the next part of this series titled "How to make infographics", I'll talk about how to gather data using free and reliable online databases.

Why Dolce & Gabbana Chooses Sustainable Over Furs
Alex Grigoryan June 24, 2022 June 26, 2022
When Dolce & Gabbana announced earlier this year that they were phasing out real fur from their future collections, it sent shock waves through the fashion industry. It wasn't just because they were leaving the fur industry, but also because they were moving toward sustainable options.
Fur has a long history when it comes to keeping people warm. It wasn't always prized for its appearance.
Fur's Long History in Fashion
Fur hasn't always been a symbol of wealth or style. For thousands of years, early humans wore fur out of necessity to stay warm during cold months.
Wrapped up from head to toe, humans prized it for its insulating qualities. That it was soft and beautiful was simply icing on the cake.
With the 20th century came the industrial age and indoor heating. As people no longer solely relied on fur for warmth, it became a fashion statement for those who could afford it.
It was further glamorized by Hollywood icons who wore it during special events such as movie premieres and awards ceremonies. Young women not only idolized the stars, but they desired to emulate their fashion.
As beautiful animal furs were harvested for everything from ear muffs to hand warmers, some sought-after animals such as ocelots and tigers were on the brink of extinction. Soon after, animal rights activism was born and real fur in fashion has been falling out of favor ever since.
Dolce & Gabbana Leave Fur Behind
One of the major fashion houses leaving fur behind is Dolce & Gabbana. The Italian designers have opted instead to utilize eco-friendly faux fur in future designs. The type of fur DG is utilizing pulls materials from recycled and sustainable materials, offering peace of mind not just to animal lovers, but to the environmentally conscious as well.
By choosing sustainable faux fur, DG is opening the door to a new type of material still not fully explored in the industry. The result is nothing short of impressive.
The faux fur on this glamorous jacket utilizes bold and modern lines, creating a simple yet elegant statement regarding the future of sustainable faux fur. It's here to stay.
Modern Faux Fur's Appeal
While there are still some fashion houses that are choosing to continue to manufacture real fur outerwear, it is anticipated that real fur will continue to fall out of favor.
Fur made from synthetic and sustainable materials can offer several benefits to designers and their consumers that actual fur simply cannot. Faux fur is
• animal friendly
• environmentally friendly
• has no limits in design-manufacturing
Sustainable fur has no bonds and it is just beginning to be explored.
High-End Faux Fur Shopping
Whether real or faux, fur continues to trend with high-end fashion houses and the people who wear their designs. Nothing can change the fact that furs, whether faux or real, are soft, durable, and visibly appealing.
Whether real fur fades out for good or not, only time can tell.

8 Common Pet Owner Errors and How to Avoid Them
Alex Grigoryan January 4, 2022 April 20, 2022


How Can We Be Flexible in the World Today?
There are certain things in life that we may always struggle with. Keeping up with the kids, getting everything done on the to-do list, the "daily grind" that seems to take years. Some days, I'm so on point. I feel energetic and ready for anything. I get everything done at home and at work and all is well. Then, I have days where everything is thrown off and hardly anything gets done or done right. I wake up late, my daughter is cranky, I hit every, single red light and then the expressway is a slow crawl.
Those days you just can't catch a break.
Hey, life happens, right? You were created to win, but Rome wasn't built in a day. Life is a marathon – not a sprint (how many clichés can you fit in a sentence lol)!
When they say patience is a virtue, it's not a game! When I have those days, feeling like everything is going haywire, I can be so dramatic. And, if I'm not careful, I can spiral down into a pity party real fast. God is showing me that I need more balance. I can plan and organize, but I'm not a robot – I need to be more flexible.
Are You Easily Bent Out of Shape?
I believe the Lord wants us to be able to maintain our joy no matter what is going on. Even those days when you can't find your keys, your shirt is wrinkled, and your phone is vibrating like crazy with work emails.
My pastor preached on something similar this week. He said sometimes we ask God to change something, but He actually wants to change us.
See, we become so rigid that any time something unexpected pops up, we fall apart.
Me? I hate surprises! When you're a single mom with long days, you map everything out – it's a science. In my past, I wasted a lot of time because I wasn't organized, so lately I have been in overdrive trying to plan every detail.
God is helping me to find balance and to be able to go with the flow. We cannot plan everything, and we have to be able to keep it moving and re-adjust when necessary.
The Lord wanted me to know that when we're not flexible, we also become more susceptible to temptation and sin.
Have you ever been running late, but expected everyone else to be on their game?
If I leave too late to make my own coffee at home, I'm going to need everyone at Dunkin Donuts to have their game faces on – this is not a drill, people! I need everyone on the road to have their eyes front and move expeditiously. So, I'm disgusted, fussing at everyone, and hoping my manager is in a good mood when I show up 10 minutes late. This is not Kingdom, Team!
When we're unwilling to be flexible, temptation grows out of our need for temporary fixes and self-medication. When we're having an "off" day, we're tempted to indulge – chocolate, ice cream, Netflix binge – many times leading to procrastination, zero productivity, even sin.
Learning to be flexible is imperative for sustaining joy. I am learning that I can't control everything, and lack of control is not a bad thing.
We can rest assured that God has us where He wants us and that everything is working for our good. Let's not wear ourselves out trying to be so perfect and just learn how to flow.
I'm reminded of the Martha and Mary story in the Bible, where Martha is stressed about serving while Mary sat at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:38-42). Martha wasn't doing anything wrong, but she was so focused on being a good host and being prepared that she didn't recognize the opportunity that was in front of her – to sit before the One who had fed the 5,000+ with 5 loaves and a few small fish.
Breathe in, breathe out, repeat. Everything will be fine, don't let "off" days steal your joy. This world and its cares are temporary. God will take care of you!
Don't be rash! Emotions can take over if you let them. Practice self-control and resist bad thoughts when they come to tempt you.
Just because a day starts out rough, it doesn't have to end that way. Forget day by day, take things moment by moment. We always have more moments to be grateful for than we think.
Be patient, be OK. You can only do what you can do. Be gentle with yourself. Be alright with that. Stay open to growth for next time.


Wow. This was SUCH a winning experiment that I wanted to share it with you all. I'd been getting into a bit of a rut with my lunch salads and decided to change things up a bit today based on some cool ingredients that were on sale at Fresh Direct. I started by steaming some rock shrimp and chopping them up. I mixed those up with the following list of ingredients, let it sit for 15 minutes and then stuffed it into the emptied avocado shells and I must say, I have outdone myself with this one. 5 stars Carey, if I do say so myself!
As always, the amount of each ingredient is up to you. This, like ALL of my recipes, is merely a concept to by toyed with to your liking.
Let the salad sit and marinate for 15 minutes or so and then scoop into the emptied avocado shell for a pretty presentation.
YUM! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Sergeant major
For other uses, see Sergeant major (disambiguation).
Sergeant major is a senior non-commissioned rank or appointment in many militaries around the world. In Commonwealth countries, the various degrees of sergeant major are appointments held by warrant officers. In the United States, there are also various degrees of sergeant major (command sergeant major, sergeant major of the army, sergeant major of Marine Corps), but they are all of the same pay grade.

2.1.1 Canadian Army
2.1.2 Royal Canadian Mounted Police
2.3 Sri Lanka
2.6 History
3 Israel Defense Forces
4.1 United States Marine Corps
4.2 United States Army
In 16th century Spain, the sargento mayor ("sergeant major") was a general officer. He commanded an army's infantry, and ranked about third in the army's command structure; he also acted as a sort of chief of staff to the army's commander.
In the 17th century, sergeant majors appeared in individual regiments. These were field officers, third in command of their regiments (after their colonels and lieutenant colonels), with a role similar to the older, army-level sergeant majors (although obviously on a smaller scale). The older position became known as "sergeant major general" to distinguish it. Over time, the term sergeant was dropped from both titles, giving rise to the modern ranks of major and major general.
The full title of sergeant major fell out of use until the latter part of the 18th century, when it began to be applied to the senior non-commissioned officer of an infantry battalion or cavalry regiment. It is about this time that the U.S. and British histories of the title diverge, with the American Revolutionary War.
Commonwealth of Nations forces[edit | edit source]
A sergeant major is an appointment, not a rank. It is normally held by the senior warrant officer of an army or marine unit. These appointments are made at several levels, for example: the senior warrant officer of a company, battery or squadron; the senior warrant officer of a battalion or regiment. The title normally consists of the unit title (e.g. 'company') followed by 'sergeant major', and abbreviated by the initials (e.g. CSM). A sergeant major of a regiment or battalion is known as a regimental sergeant major, rather than a "regiment sergeant major" or "battalion sergeant major". In the Australian Defence Force, in addition to CSMs and RSMs, the most senior warrant officer of the army carries the appointment (and special insignia) of Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army (RSM-A).
The sergeant-major of a unit is normally directly responsible to the commanding officer for all matters pertaining to dress, deportment, discipline, conduct, performance, standards and morale of the non-commissioned members (NCMs) of that unit. Sergeant majors are normally addressed as "sir" or "ma'am" by subordinates, and by Mr or Ms (surname) by superiors, with the term 'RSM'/'CSM'/etc reserved for the sergeant major's commanding officer.
In the British Armed Forces, the plural is "sergeant majors" and not "sergeants major" as it is in the United States.[1][2][3]
Canada[edit | edit source]
Canadian Army[edit | edit source]
The appointment of sergeant major is given to the senior non-commissioned member within sub-units, units and some formations of the Canadian Army.
The regimental sergeant-major is the senior sergeant major in a battalion-sized unit, including infantry battalions and artillery, armoured, engineer, and signal regiments; this appointment is normally held by a chief warrant officer. The same position can also be held by a master warrant officer in anticipation of promotion, or a shortage of available chief warrant officers.
In company-sized units, the company sergeant-major generally holds the rank of master warrant officer, although in some cases it may be held by a warrant officer if the company is smaller, or in a shortage of available master warrant officers. In artillery batteries, this appointment is known as battery sergeant-major, while in units with a cavalry heritage (armoured, combat engineer, and signals squadrons), the term is squadron sergeant-major.
In company-sized sub-units of battalions or regiments, the company sergeant-major (or equivalent) normally answers both to his or her officer commanding for matters pertaining to the company in particular, and to the regimental sergeant-major on matters of concern to the regimental sergeant-major. Company sergeant-majors and their equivalents are normally addressed as "Sergeant-Major" or by rank; by subordinates they are referred to as "Sir", "Ma'am", or "Warrant" (for warrant officers) as appropriate. "CSM" ("BSM", "SSM") is a title normally reserved for use by the commanding officer.[citation needed]
Regimental sergeant-majors are never addressed as "Sergeant-Major"; they are addressed by rank or as "Mr (Surname)" or "Ms (Surname)", and thereafter by subordinates as "Sir" or "Ma'am". "RSM" is reserved for use by the commanding officer.[citation needed]
In some unusual cases, a chief petty officer 1st class or chief petty officer 2nd class in the Royal Canadian Navy may succeed to a sergeant-major's position, especially in units with a large number of "purple trades", such as service battalions. The forms of address generally remain the same, except that chief petty officers 1st and 2nd class are never addressed as "Sir" or "Ma'am", but as "Chief".
The opera Leo, the Royal Cadet (1889) by Oscar Ferdinand Telgmann and George Frederick Cameron includes a character "Battalion Sergeant Major at the Royal Military College of Canada" and song "The Royal Cadet - The Battalion Sergeant Major". The senior cadet of the Royal Military College of Canada was a battalion sergeant major from 1878–1923 and from 1934-42. Since 1952, however, the senior cadet is known as a cadet wing-commander.[4]
Royal Canadian Mounted Police[edit | edit source]
Sergeant major is a rank in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. While technically it is the 6th level of rank, below corps sergeant major and above staff sergeant major, it, along with the other two, are specialized ranks and not part of the normal progression, which would proceed from staff sergeant to inspector.
Singapore[edit | edit source]
A sergeant major appointment exists in each military unit from company to division/formation. Their main job is to assist the commander in the discipline and welfare of the enlisted men. Their authority and responsibility at parades and ceremonies extends over even commissioned officers while on the parade square. In the Singapore Armed Forces, two kinds of sergeant major exist, a regimental sergeant major and a company sergeant major. An regimental sergeant major maybe placed in charge of a battalion, brigade, division or service level. A regimental sergeant major could also be appointed as RSM for a vocation, i.e. infantry vocation/formation sergeant major. This appointed usually be held by a senior warrant officer or a master warrant officer, although at times a 1st warrant officer may be appointed. A company sergeant major may be a 1WO, 2WO and 3WO. Sometimes, a master sergeant or a staff sergeant may be appointed. Military Experts of rank ME 3 could also be sergeant majors, in-charge of logistical units or naval units. This practice is also mirrored in the National Cadet Corps with the master sergeant or staff sergeant being appointed as unit sergeant major. Also, some schools with more than one unit, i.e. having a land as well as a sea unit might appointed an RSM from either unit.
Sri Lanka[edit | edit source]
In Sri Lanka, the rank of sergeant major exists in the Sri Lanka Army and Sri Lanka Police Service. In the army a warrant officer 2nd class is known as a sergeant major while a warrant officer 1st class is a regimental sergeant major. In the police the most senior non-gazetted officer rank is police sergeant major.
South Africa[edit | edit source]
Warrant officer class 1 rank badge 1921-2002
As described above, sergeant-major is not a rank but an appointment held by a warrant officer class 1 or warrant officer class 2. Regardless of the appointment, the warrant officer is addressed as "sergeant-major".
The rank was established in the Union Defence Forces in 1913, in a single class. The rank badge was a crown, senior appointments being indicated by a wreath around the badge.[5]
The rank was divided into two classes in 1921. The national coat of arms was assigned as the badge of the 1st class, and the crown was assigned to the 2nd class. In both classes, senior appointments were indicated by a wreath around the badge.[5]
From 1957 to 2002, all warrant officers 1st class wore the wreathed coat of arms, and the warrant officer 2nd class wore the plain coat of arms.[5] Since 2002, all warrant officers have worn the new national coat of arms, the classes and appointments being indicated by the shape of the surrounding frame, and the addition of stars and crossed swords above the arms.
Up until 1 June 2008, the highest appointment (Level 1), that was held by a warrant officer class 1 was the Sergeant-Major of the South African National Defence Force.
Other senior warrant officer appointments up until 1 June 2008 were
Level 2: Sergeant-Major of the Army
Level 3: Formation sergeant-major
Level 4: Group or base sergeant-major or regimental sergeant-major[6]
The South African Air Force had a similar structure for its warrant officers who are also addressed as "sergeant-major".[7]
Starting 1 June 2008, the warrant ranks (Army/ Navy/ Air Force) are:
Master chief warrant officer (formerly level 1)—e.g. Master Chief Warrant Officer of the South African National Defence Force.
Senior chief warrant officer (formerly level 2)—e.g. Senior Chief Warrant Officer of the South African Army.
Chief warrant officer (formerly level 3)
Master warrant officer (formerly level 4A)
Senior warrant officer (formerly level 4)
Warrant officer class one
Warrant officer class two
A company/squadron/battery sergeant major should ordinarily be a WO2.
United Kingdom[edit | edit source]
In the British Army and Royal Marines, company/battery/squadron sergeant major is an appointment for a WO2 and regimental sergeant major is a WO1 appointment.
Due to differences in nomenclature between Regiments and Corps sergeant majors' titles do vary; Squadron sergeant major and battery sergeant major for instance would be found in the cavalry and Royal Artillery respectively, and in the REME there are the appointments of artificer sergeant major.
Sergeant major instructor is an appointment held by warrant officers class 1 in the Small Arms School Corps and the Army Physical Training Corps and by some WO1s in the Royal Engineers. It is also an appointment held by some of the civilian adult instructors in the Army Cadet Force.
A machinist sergeant-major is a specialist most often found in the Corps of Royal Engineers or the Royal Army Service Corps, and was the title of one of the major characters in the book and the film based on it, Ice Cold in Alex.
For the use of "sergeant major" as a form of address, see the articles on regimental and company sergeant majors, and that on staff sergeants.
The posts of regimental and squadron corporal major are the Household Cavalry's equivalent of sergeant majors, as the Household Cavalry traditionally does not have ranks named sergeant. The Rifles use the spelling "serjeant major".
The first British use of the term was around 1680 and was applied to the senior sergeant in the colonel's company of an infantry regiment,[8] but it wasn't formalised until 1797, when the sergeant major was added to the battalion or regimental staff. When chevrons were introduced as badges of rank, he wore four, later under a crown.
In 1813, cavalry regiments introduced the troop sergeant major to replace the quartermaster as the senior NCO of a troop; this required the existing position to be explicitly redesignated the regimental sergeant major. Later, the rise of the squadron as the principal sub-regimental unit saw the corresponding introduction of the squadron sergeant major. The infantry, however, hung on to the undifferentiated, one-per-battalion sergeant major until the eve of the First World War, when the introduction of the company sergeant major forced them to adopt the RSM title as well. (As an infantry regiment could be, and usually was, made up of a number of battalions, one would logically expect the new title to be battalion sergeant major rather than regimental sergeant major. Perhaps the infantry felt this would imply a lower status than their cavalry equivalents.)
In 1881, the cavalry RSM and infantry sergeant major were among a number of senior non-commissioned positions that were confirmed with warrants, making them warrant officers. This was extended and rationalised in 1915, with the introduction of the new ranks of warrant officer class I (WOI) and warrant officer class II (WOII). RSM became an appointment of the former, CSM and SSM of the latter.
The Royal Marines continued to use a single rank of sergeant major, equating to warrant officer class I, until after the Second World War, when they adopted the Army system.
Israel Defense Forces[edit | edit source]
The רב-סמל מתקדם (Rav samal mitkadem, "sergeant major") and the רב-סמל בכיר ( Rav samal bakhír, "command sergeant major") are both non-commissioned officers (נגדים) ranks in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Because the IDF is an integrated force, they have a unique rank structure. IDF ranks are the same in all services (army, navy, air force, etc.). The ranks are derived from those of the paramilitary Haganah developed in the British Mandate of Palestine period to protect the Yishuv. This origin is reflected in the slightly-compacted IDF rank structure.[9]

United States Marine Corps[edit | edit source]
In the United States Marine Corps, sergeant major is the ninth and highest enlisted rank, just above first sergeant, and equal in grade to master gunnery sergeant, although the two have different responsibilities. Sergeant major is both a rank and a military billet. Marine Corps sergeants major serve as the senior enlisted marine in the Corps' units of battalion, squadron or higher echelon, as the unit commander's senior enlisted advisor and to handle matters of discipline and morale among the enlisted marines. Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is a separate and unique position.
United States Army[edit | edit source]
In the U.S. Army, sergeant major refers to both a military rank and a specific leadership position. It is the highest enlisted rank, just above first sergeant and master sergeant, with a pay grade of E-9, NATO rank OR-9 . The leadership position—command sergeant major—is the senior enlisted advisor to the commanding officer and carries with it certain ceremonial functions such as caring for the unit's colors (flag). Additionally, command sergeants major serve as monitors of, and advocates for, the enlisted soldiers in the command. This position mostly exists in units of battalion size and larger.
Because the command sergeant major represents all of the enlisted soldiers in the command, he or she does not wear the collar insignia of his or her career specialty (e.g., infantry, quartermaster, intelligence, inter alia), but instead wears the command sergeant major (formerly "branch immaterial") collar insignia. The insignia is a gold-color rendering of the coat of arms of the United States; like the branch of service insignia of all U.S. Army enlisted soldiers, it is placed upon a gold-colored metal disk, one inch in diameter.
A SGM or CSM is referred to, and addressed, as "Sergeant Major". The Sergeant Major of the Army is a separate and unique position, but is still addressed as "Sergeant Major".
The first official U.S. use of the term was in 1776, when a sergeant major was appointed to the headquarters of each infantry battalion of the Continental Army. The rank was in use by both the Union Army and the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. At that time, it was the highest enlisted rank, being just above quartermaster sergeant. The same rank insignia was used by both armies. Both armies varied the color of the stripes by assigning red for artillery, yellow for cavalry, and blue for infantry. Some Confederate militia units varied these colors even farther and had other colors including black stripes for various units. In 1920 with the standardization of the army's enlisted pay grades, it ceased to be a title of rank or grade. However, it survived as the job title of the senior NCO of a battalion and was re-introduced as a rank in 1958 when Congress authorized the E-8 and E-9 pay grades (P.L. 85-422, 72 Stat. 122). In that law (as amended) the authorized daily average number of enlisted members on active duty in an armed force in pay grade E–9 in a fiscal year may not be more than 1.25 percent, respectively, of the number of enlisted members of that armed force, subject to certain exceptions.[10]
The appointment of Sergeant Major of the Army was created on July 4, 1966. Command sergeants major got separate insignia in 1968.
The U.S. Marine Corps's first sergeant major was Archibald Sommers, appointed on January 1, 1801. This was originally a solitary post, similar to the modern Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, but by 1899 there were five sergeants major. The title was abolished in 1946, but re-introduced as a rank in 1954. The post of Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps was established in 1957, as the senior enlisted advisor to the Commandant of the Marine Corps.[11]

About the Book - The Zouddha Manuscripts
Journey into the amazing world of Zouddha, an ancient philosophy for self-realization that defined a unique way of life a life abundant both materially & spiritually and focused on complete inner & outer freedom. The manuscripts that detailed all the secrets for successfully achieving this way of life were lost to the world when they mysteriously disappeared more than seven hundred years ago.

Prepare to be surprised and thrilled as Nirmann narrates a magical tale that eventually divulges the secrets and mystical framework of the Zouddha lifestyle for leading a life of freedom, of living both - a materially abundant & deeply fulfilling spiritual life while living within the mainstream world. Learn about the intricacies that teach living a life of mastery as opposed to slavery. The ancient Zouddha Manuscripts explain the origin and meaning of different types of invisible chains that we are unknowingly held captives of and continue to lead a slaves life in the major areas of life such as money, body, senses, emotions, values, beliefs, religion and spirituality.
The book goes further to reveal the seven realms of life that hold the secret teachings of Zouddha promising the stopping of abuse & exploitation that we face from others & from ourselves, to discovering our true original inner self, to giving ourselves a new birth and discovering the answer to the quintessential question who am I.

Schwabegg ist ein Stadtteil von Schwabmünchen im schwäbischen Landkreis Augsburg. Der Ort ist Namensgeber der bis 1806 bestehenden Grafschaft Schwabegg.

Geographie
Das Pfarrdorf Schwabegg liegt circa 30 Kilometer südlich von Augsburg und fünf Kilometer westlich von Schwabmünchen an der Halde, mit der das Staudengebiet in die Wertachebene abfällt. Dieses Gebiet gehört mit zum Erholungspark Augsburg Westliche Wälder.

Naturräumlich erstreckt sich östlich das Lechfeld, westlich steigt das Gelände zu den Stauden hin auf.

Geschichte
Schwabegg war bereits in der Bronzezeit besiedelt, wie einige Lesefund belegen. Etliche Siedlungsreste aus der Römerzeit sind als Bodendenkmale geschützt. Erstmals wurde das Dorf 1110 urkundlich erwähnt. Der zugehörige Ortsteil Königshausen wird erst später 1408 erwähnt.

Die Herren von Schwabegg waren als Inhaber der nachmaligen staufischen Herrschaft Schwabegg die Großvögte des Hochstifts Augsburg seit spätestens 980. Wie die anderen Stadtteile auch wird Schwabegg zur Schwabmünchner Urmark gerechnet. Nach der Zerstörung der Burg Schwabegg 1371 wurde Türkheim Hauptort der Herrschaft Schwabegg. Zwar wieder aufgebaut, wurde die Burg im Bayerischen Krieg 1422 wieder teilweise zerstört und nicht wieder instand gesetzt.

Maximilian Philipp von Bayern-Leuchtenberg, Besitzer der reichsunmittelbaren Herrschaft Schwabegg, erwarb 1680 die Reichsritterschaften Mattsies von den Fuggern und Angelberg von Kurfürst Max Emanuel und fügte sie Schwabegg hinzu. Nach Maximilian Philipps Tod 1705 und der Aufhebung der Reichsacht Max Emanuels 1714 war diese nun als Grafschaft bezeichnete Herrschaft bis 1806 als kaiserliches Lehen im persönlichen Besitz der Kurfürsten von Bayern. Erst 1806 erlosch der Name Grafschaft Schwabegg mit der Einbindung des Gebiets in das Königreich Bayern.

Durch das bayerische Gemeindeedikt von 1818 entstand die Gemeinde Schwabegg, bestehend aus dem Hauptort und Königshausen. Am 1. Mai 1978 wurde Schwabegg im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Bayern in die Stadt Schwabmünchen eingegliedert. Neben dem Burgstall und der Kirche sind zwei weitere Gebäude aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert als Baudenkmale erhalten.

Do You Know What PSD To XHTML Conversion Is All About?
XHTML is an acronym for Extensible HyperText Markup Language, and it is actually an evolution based upon normal HTML, it's purpose was also intended to be a way in the direction of inevitable XML migration hence the X component.
Part of the XML class of mark-up languages XHTML files are well formed as a result of mark-up rules and tag rules and therefore may also be parsed by XML parsers, which is unlike HTML which was consistently part of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
Prior to checking the benefits of XHTML, it's worth quickly explaining the purpose of SGML, HTML and XML.
SGML is a language for describing markup languages, particularly those found in electronic document exchange, document management, and document publishing. HTML is an instance of a language defined in SGML.
HTML is an SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) application conforming to International Standard ISO 8879. HTML is broadly thought to be the common publishing language of the World Wide Web, HTML tags carry semantic meaning and are predefined.
XML is the shorthand name for EXtensible Markup Language. XML is a markup language very similar to HTML and was made to describe info. XML tags aren't predefined. You have to define your own tags in accordance with your needs.
In terms of syntax, it's also really similar to HTML and pretty much all valid HTML elements are also valid in XHTML, nevertheless there are numerous particular points to note to ensure your HTML document is totally XHTML certified, these points also apply when designing new XHTML documents.
• You will need to compose a DOCTYPE declaration at the outset of the XHTML document.
• You ought to create all XHTML tags and attributes in lower case only.
• You should quote all the attribute values.
• Attribute minimization is forbidden.
• The id attribute swaps with the name attribute.
• The language attribute of the script tag is deprecated.
So now let's take a look at the functions of XHTML before we look at the benefits.
Firstly, XHTML is definitely an recognized and official W3C standard therefore all internet browsers will be compliant, and features built-in support for XHTML, this could be of significant appeal to web developers.
A valid XHTML document, because it utilises XML syntax and markup, will need to have 1 of 3 DTD's, this helps to ensure that all the XML data comprised inside the XHTML is valid and also conforms to the correct reasoning and type as defined in the DTD such as correctly closed and nested xml tags.
Finally, XHTML files can also be backward compatible with non XHTML certified internet explorer due to more stringent syntax rules.
Internet pages are more likely to render accurately around numerous browsers including new and old web browsers.
It is additionally easier to maintain, edit, convert and format your document as the need occurs, in the future.
As a result of consistent and nicely organised format of XHTML, your web pages could be parsed and processed easily.
XHTML defines quality standard to your websites and if you comply with that , then your webpages are counted as top quality web pages. The W3C certifies those same pages with their quality seal.
You can find out more information on XML and XHTML by studying tutorials on the internet for example xml tutorials.
An experienced and noteworthy publisher in the field of semantic markeup languages particularly xml who has written extensively on the subject matter.


1 May will see Hogan Lovells' Chair Nicholas Cheffings take the reins from outgoing PRIME Chairman David Morley. The change comes at a time when there is increased focus on social mobility as Government and business alike are held to account; and the need for wider and better access continues to dominate many agendas in the City.
• an insight into the range of careers available in the legal profession (for lawyers and non-lawyers) and the potential routes into those careers.
Building on those foundations, PRIME members have since provided high quality work experience to more than 4,000 young people, significantly exceeding the original target set of 2,500 by 2015. Membership has quadrupled, now numbering 89 firms and in-house colleagues.
"David has left a lasting legacy, initiating collaboration across the legal profession that has inspired real change in the legal sector's approach to opening up access to our world. A recent independent evaluation of PRIME by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) concluded that members have been successful in helping young people to learn more about the legal profession, but that we could do more to stay in touch with participants following their work experience. This will be a key area of focus for me, as we look to build upon, strengthen and improve what we have started, working with other stakeholders to ensure that more young people with talent but without connections get the opportunity to succeed in our profession. Opening doors for them is the core objective for me and for my fellow Board members."
"I am incredibly proud of what PRIME has achieved since its inception, however, it's clear that there is still work to be done and I know Nicholas will drive the initiative forward. My hope is that through programmes like PRIME the legal profession will become more representative of the society it serves and young people from all backgrounds will be inspired to join it."


The tech that allows a meson disrupting curvature to be placed around a ship is very close to the tech that allows the same to be done with a grav field.
Mecron wrote: The tech that allows a meson disrupting curvature to be placed around a ship is very close to the tech that allows the same to be done with a grav field.
What exactly does that supposed to mean?
That Grav and Meshon Shields are side-grades to each other? Then why does the Grav Shield come after Meson Shield in the tech tree?
At a guess, it's a refinement of the Grav Shield technique to affect mesons - it's easier to affect gross molecular structure, or even individual baryons, than it is to affect the smaller mesons.
Pai wrote: What the heck is this, inverse cube law, i see that keeps poping up in the thread?
It's called a plot device.
Really if you look the way shields were used on DE's and CR's in prime its fairly evident they are following the inverse square law, if they actually followed the inverse cube law you wouldn't be able to use them on CR's without having pretty dramatic drawbacks over DE's shields.
I suspect it's not just as simple as the inverse cube law, but also a threshold effect that's holding them back from being used on DNs as well; once you hit a certain point, your efficiency drops sharply and more power in equals significantly less power back out. CRs fall under the threshold, but probably not too far under it.
Like having the same mitigation values despite being powered by a much larger engine?
That still doesn't make any sense from gameplay perspective whatsoever. Why are Ballistic Weapons are at a disadvantage here by being able to be negated by shield users completely, earlier in the game than Energy Weapons?
Or if you look at it from another perspective. Why does Shield users have a disadvantage against energy users by having to research an extra late-game technology to be able to counter them?
Is it because "I say so"?
Because it's easier to deflect physical objects than energy particles.
Looks like I'm wrong on the shield strength, CRs have a multiplier effect to the absorption level of the shield.
As for Grav Vs Meson, The scientist in me says its easier to make a net to catch a football than a Atom, and sense disruptor and deflector shields exist early on the method is known; the remainder of the work is fine tuning.
Game play wise, it much easier to get a devastating ballistics weapon than it is an energy based one.
Mecron wrote: I have a very precise and personal sense of things I find so dumb it makes my brain hurt...one of those is bad SF that makes volume energy effects have no relationship to size.
Now that is a potentially realistic argument however would it not be more energy efficient to have smaller generators located in key points to create a interlocking group of shields that would be individually powered. You may have seen me argue this before or state it but I think ill reiterate it here. If you have several small nodes each projecting a mid sized shield area over a potion of a ship and another in another are and they are close enough to interlock then you could potentially create a shell around a ship. This would require a hard point per projector and since smaller projectors require less power this would mean that this system could be possible. It would do two things to a dreadnaught however A) it would eat up medium weapon hard points on the ship which would reduce its firepower, and B) would make the ship unsuitable to using energy weapons in combat (which are more accurate) and force the ship to rely on projectile weapons otherwise there would be a power conflict. The other reason I am sure that the whole shield dreadnaught thing is being avoided is that it could be easily exploited by using the energy absorbers which could in turn keep a shield of that nature at full power rather than power beam weapons if the ship was not using them.
While shielding a Dreadnaught would be brilliant fun to accomplish it would be a engineering nightmare and difficult to fix once broken. Despite the inverse cube law which as educated as I am, I am sadly not fully aware of I think it is possible to shield a Dreadnaught class vessel, but it is however rather not very efficient.
What would be far more efficient would be Nanobots to repair hull damage so that each ship that your fleet either blows up or looses can go to repair your armor as the nanobots could make use of the materials by breaking them down to base components so on and so forth.
And thus my solution to the problem lol I figured it out for them lol.
Seriously though, I wouldn't be totally surprised if we eventually see shield modules or drone constellations that produce smaller areas of shielding for large craft.

WWE: Backstage Reaction To Triple H Getting More Power Within The WWE!
Most people within WWE are positive about Triple H having more influence and power in the company these days. There's a feeling that while Triple H has had some power for years now, this will be the first year of what will be a transition from Vince McMahon to Triple H as the guy leading the company. The transition will likely be a very slow one as there is no indication that Vince is giving up power. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are considered to be the successors to Vince's throne, so to speak.
