Game Wench, Bring Me Another!
Submitted by Amber314 on Tue, 2010-06-22 06:16.
Addiction Factor:
Simple to understand without reading Instruction, fun way to improve time management skills, great time killer.
Graphics are on the low end, elementary storyline to a more adult themed game, no timer/countdown during timed gameplay, essentially a copycat of other notable games.
Mediocrity at it's finest. I'll admit when I played my first 3 minute round I turned it off and didn't have much interest in playing again. But I thought I'd give it one more shot for 10 minutes and now I find myself actually wanting to help Betty make it to the Caribbean.
That being said, it can become slightly addicting as far as wanting to see the money climb and the self gratification of significant progress. However the game still leaves much to be desired. The graphics are subpar, even for a game that only serves to be played at random. The very core of the game itself is identical to other time management games such as Diner Dash, and on that principal alone you're better off with the better established game that gives you the same result. Unless of course you favor yourself a lush and would like to immerse yourself in a bar whilst away from the bar, then by all means, this is the game for you.
Great game if you're just looking to kill some time and don't want anything too engaging. But look elsewhere if you're looking for anything with plot, good character development, educational, etc.


to that falsely reputed gathering place.
from broken fragments, a fellowship whole and new.
Though I cannot see, I will not believe for the forces of darkness empower me... To trust, to tame --- the soul I have, his grace not ample to make my dad... Plenty of kerosene supple and amber, to fuel the fire of chanting and bantor.. The places of highest defiance and lucid, placate the silence and fill with desire... Palance of envy, temple of old... Chaste and defiant to chastise the old, felony matters in eyes that gather --- to listen to silence, silence and laughter..
Thank you for the reply. Admittedly, your response is a bit beyond my knowledge to interpret, but I am grateful, all the same, that you took the trouble to reply.

Canada's Grimes unveils 'Venus Fly' video ft. Janelle Monáe.
Multi-media recording artist and producer Grimes shares the official video for 'Venus Fly.' The video, directed and edited by Grimes, also features Janelle Monáe. 'Venus Fly' is now live on Grimes' YouTube; watch the video here: http://smarturl.it/VenusFlyYT
"We used the Phantom cameras to create a feeling of time suspended," said Grimes of the inspiration behind the video.
'Venus Fly' is taken from Grimes' critically-adored album 'Art Angels' (4AD) which had prime placement on basically every End of Year list. Last year, Grimes toured the album, selling out venues and headlining festivals across the world.

The Planning Board is in the middle of reviewing a proposal from East Greenwich developer Tom Primeau, who wants to build 16 condominiums (a collection of duplexes and triplexes) on the 5.4 acre site at 62 South Pierce Road at Cora Street.
The development, called Coggeshall Preserve, is hotly contested by neighbors. The initial public hearing on Primeau's Comprehensive Permit application, on Aug. 2, was filled with abutting and nearby residents. After Primeau's development team made its presentation, the public was allowed to comment. The meeting went four hours before the Planning Board finally called a halt just after 11 p.m. because there were several more people who wanted to comment on the development. The board will take up the hearing again at its meeting Sept. 20.
A Comprehensive Permit is allowed when a developer includes units deemed "affordable." Coggeshall Preserve would include four affordable units. That enables the proposal to bypass the Zoning Board, the Town Council and, in this case, the Historic District Commission, with final approval coming from the Planning Board alone (but a Planning Board imbued with the powers of the other boards).
The town's Staff Report (find it here: Planning Dept. Staff Report – 62South Pierce) notes that several of the planned residences are on federally designated floodplain areas and that "local regulations call for all lands designated as floodplain or other flood hazard area to remain in an open space or undeveloped state." Primeau's team is seeking a floodplain map amendment through FEMA but the staff report recommends the developer be prepared to reduce the number of units if he does not get a map amendment.
In addition, the Department of Public Works has concerns about stormwater retention structures in the flood zone. Those too would need to be relocated, the report said.
"Granting this waiver is not recommended at this time," the report reads.
Project engineer Nicole Reilly of DiPrete Engineering said the site had different elevations and that the developer planned to raise the elevation of the site to above-floodplain levels.
The chimney is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of this house built circe 1705.
A sticking point for neighbors of 62 South Pierce is the planned demolition of the main house on the property, which was built around 1705, making it one of the oldest structures in East Greenwich. The house has a distinctive chimney that Primeau said he will replicate in a new building near the site of the original house and the plan calls for useable materials to be salvaged from the original building and used if possible in the new building.
"The hope is the historic reconstruction will read like a structure that has always been on the street and the realigning residences will look like a neighborhood that's developed through time around the 'old' house," said project architect David Okerlund.
The McKenna family has owned the property for decades.
The back of the house includes additions that are in particularly bad shape, according to an engineer working for the developer.
Structural and civil engineer Craig Carrigan inspected the building for Primeau in March. He said the house had seen too much damage and deferred maintenance through the years to be saved.
But one neighbor, during public comment, took issue with those assertions.
Stephen Tyson, who lives a block away and is president of Architectural Preservation Group, said he had restored many structures in similar shape to 62 South Pierce Road.
While the Historic District Commission has no purview over this project since it is applying under Comprehensive Permit guidelines, the Planning Board voted Aug. 2 to refer the project to the HDC for an advisory opinion.
Another issue for nearby residents was the lack of single-family houses and the proximity of two of the structures to houses on Taylor Circle. In particular, a driveway would be within 50 feet of Pam and Wayne Savage's house and only a few feet from their property line (seen in the photo below, marked with string). The couple have lived in their house, which abuts the McKenna property, for 40 years.
Wayne and Pam Savageau have lived in this house on Taylor Circle for 40 years, but the property line sits within feet of the back of the house.
Most of the McKenna property is overgrown. A pond on the site is completely obscured by vegetation. Donald McKenna, who was a janitor at Meadowbrook Farm school for many years, lived in the house with his brother but recently moved to Coventry to live with his daughter after his brother's death. The land has been in the McKenna family for decades. Some in the neighborhood remember skating on the pond in winter. And everyone knew that the McKennas allowed dumping on the site. Primeau plans extensive remediation of the property, but the state Department of Environmental Management will have to evaluate the condition of the property since there are complaints about dumping dating to the 1970s.
The property has been on the market on and off for years, with the price tag as high as $1 million at one point, according to neighbors. Primeau is buying it for $250,000. His company, Philip Ryan Homes Ltd., is also behind a proposed 43-unit development on Middle Road just east of South County Trail (across from Pine Glen) as well as Fry Brook, a condominium complex off Middle Road just west of South County Trail. Fry Brook was largely completed in 2009 but Primeau still has not built a culvert that was part of the plan. He was before the Town Council in July seeking another extension – finishing the culvert has been tied to permission to build the 43 units on Middle Road. Primeau said the culvert would be done by the end of September and the council granted him an extension.
In an interview, Primeau blamed the poor economy for his failure to complete the Fry Brook culvert, but also placed responsibility with the town.
Primeau said he's not building single family homes on the South Pierce Road site because the market isn't calling for single family homes in that area.
As for neighbor complaints, Primeau said that's part of the process when you're a developer.
The Planning Board won't resume the Coggeshall Homes public hearing until on Wednesday, Sept. 20. The panel meets next on Wednesday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m. at Town Hall, and on that agenda is Final Plan Review of Tom Primeau's Middle Road development. Find the agenda here.
Condos in residential area are the changing this town for the worst. More traffic, more crime, and loss of neighborhood charm. Guess it's all about the dollar. Look at what happened to the beautiful land at Bleachery Pond. Such a shame.
There is a correction to the article on the development of the McKenna property. The driveway turn around and drainage ditch for the units off Taylor Circle will be within 5 to 10 feet from our back property line not the stated 50 feet. (Pam and Wayne Savageau, 12 Taylor Cir.) There is no buffer zone.
Thanks for the clarification, Pam. I was referring to your actual house, but need to be clearer. I will edit.


Commodore Jacob Ross is a Federation Starfleet officer who commanded the Constitution class U.S.S. Reuben James in 2265.
Commodore Ross was searching for a Klingon vessel reported to have attacked a colony in the Gliese System.
"Night of the Comet": In 2265 the Reuben James confronts the player, whose ship is disguised as a Klingon Battle Cruiser and unable to reveal their true identity in order to protect the timeline.
Strangely, Commodore Ross' assignment patch is that of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), which didn't become the general Starfleet insignia until the 2270s.

Chiropractic care is becoming more popular as many people opt for this form of medicine. However, many people are still skeptical about how this technique works and what it can help to treat. If you are looking for a drug-free solution to your pain and overall health, then chiropractic care is ideal for you. These professionals will not only manipulate the musculoskeletal system to alleviate pain, but will also find the root problem and fix it.
The major goal of a chiropractor is not treating the sick, but enhancing health and well-being. Chiropractors utilize a holistic approach and view an individual as a whole. As a result, they will identify and treat more than just the physical symptoms. Chiropractic care entails more than just physical treatments, postural education, work ergonomics, nutritional interventions, and other strategies. Chiropractic care is about thriving and not just surviving or making the bones crack.
By using comprehensive functional assessment procedures, functional medicine, and nutritional focus, practitioners can diagnose and even treat complicated disorders. They can achieve this by addressing nutritional deficiencies, lifestyle habits, and dietary habits through customized supplementation to suit the needs of the individuals. Chiropractic care can help in treating different medical problems like digestive problems, autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, and many other issues that are usually missed or not treated correctly by mainstream medicine.
When properly assessed by a chiropractor, most muscle and joint problems can be resolved effectively. Surgery is not an ideal choice when it comes to pain and should be used when all other techniques fail, or whenever necessary. You should seek chiropractic care first and if it does not work, you can proceed to more invasive procedures like surgery. With the trained and experienced comprehensive chiropractors Active Edge has, you will solve most joint and muscle pains without having to use unnecessary procedures and treatments.
Chiropractic care can be combined with rehabilitation, conditioning and strength principles to boost physical function. Every day we put our bodies through tough conditions. With periodic treatment from qualified chiropractors, your body will be in tip-top condition. Chiropractic adjustments will optimize the ability of the body to function at its best. This will boost your ability to progress and perform better in all your training programs.
Chiropractic care is not just focused on one area of the body. A small body adjustment can help in restoring your nervous system and aligning your entire body, thus making you feel better every day. Chiropractors will strive to assist you to meet your overall wellness goals. You will get advice on diet, nutrition, and also exercise regimen that will help you enjoy overall health and wellness.
Consistent chiropractic adjustments have a lot of preventive benefits. A comprehensive approach is necessary to prevent diseases of the mind and body. This should include massage therapy, nutrition, overall chiropractic care, and exercise. With a comprehensive chiropractic regimen, you will have a higher chance of minimizing injury and pain, and relieving stress. Furthermore, your body's ability to fend off diseases will be increased since the body will be in top condition.
There are several reasons why you should consult a chiropractor. Every medical professional is different and just because one was not successful does not mean that somebody else will provide the same experience. With the right chiropractic expert, you will enjoy better health and a higher quality of life.

A Lot Like Birds call it quits, Kurt Travis debuts new project Royal Coda
Kaitlyn Ulrich
[Photo by: alotlikebirds/Instagram, royal.coda/Instagram]
We have good news and bad news. The bad news is that A Lot Like Birds have broken up. The good news is that former A Lot Like Birds vocalist Kurt Travis has started a new band called Royal Coda. We're both sad and happy at the same time.
Read more: Op-Ed: Former A Lot Like Birds vocalist says he left band because of new direction
A Lot Like Birds formed back in 2009 and have released four studio records. Travis (ex-Dance Gavin Dance) fronted the post-hardcore band for two of their records before leaving in February 2016 to pursue a "new direction." Cory Lockwood, constant founding member and unclean vocalist, and bassist Matt Coate have covered vocals since.
The band have now announced their breakup on social media. "This is a thank you letter to all of you for letting us do so, whenever you came aboard," the band writes. "At the beginning or just last week, thank you for listening. You decided our lives for nine whole years and you made them fucking wonderful."
It's 02/17/2018 & this is the end of A Lot Like Birds

A Lot Like Birds' final show will be First Fest Music Festival in May. You can grab tickets here.
We will look back in fondness and always remember: They are "A Lot Like Birds, and nothing like fish."
In light of the breakup, Travis has rejoined former bandmate Joseph Arrington (A Lot Like Birds, drums) and guitarist Sergio Medina (Sianvar) for a new project, Royal Coda.
The group are signed to guitarist Will Swan's (Dance Gavin Dance) record label, Blue Swan Records, and have released their debut track, "Anything To Save."

Leman: The one ring and the necessity of separating powers
Mike Leman
Star-Tribune editorial board
One of my favorite books is J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." I recently watched the movie adaptation again, which also happens to be one of my favorite movies. Of course, there are no hour-long car chases or seemingly unending scenes of immortal heroes and villains throwing each other through buildings—trying to make each other mortal.
In "Lord of the Rings," genuine character development takes place. You actually care about what happens to the characters, and both heroes and villains die in the story.
More than that, the story helps us to examine the reality of good and evil in our own world. Unlike many of today's storytellers who seem content to show us that all of their characters have some mix of good and evil within them, Tolkien asks a more relevant question: What is the trajectory of the characters? In other words, are the characters growing in virtue or in vice? Are they growing in holiness or becoming more evil? And why?
The ring that Frodo seeks to destroy symbolizes centralized power. We're all familiar with the saying that "power corrupts." But Tolkien is not so naïve as to propose a world without authoritative power. As long as evil exists in the world, it needs to be held in check. Authoritative power is necessary.
But too much power, literally at the tip of one's finger, can even turn a character with good intentions and great virtue into a servant of darkness. Power tempts Frodo's friends. Wisdom helps them to resist temptation.
Given the political environment today, Tolkien's own wisdom seems worth revisiting.
The genius of our Democratic Republic is precisely the fact that it recognizes both the danger and the necessity of power. We must have law and order and a means to enact them. But too much power in one place is a threat, even when it is wielded by those with the best of intentions. Our founders recognized this when they conceived the notion of the separation of powers.
Here is the point upon which I wish to focus: wisdom alone isn't enough for Tolkien's heroes to resist the temptation for consolidated power. They also need willpower and the ability to recognize the goodwill in others. Without these traits, the temptation to take all power into our own hands will overwhelm us, just as it overwhelms Boromir in the story.
There are no shortages of examples whereby Americans across the political spectrum demonstrate both a lack of willpower and an inability to see goodwill in those who disagree with them.
Look at the violence that took place in our nation's Capitol on Jan. 6, or the refusal to cooperate in a peaceful transition of power. Look at the desire to "pack the Supreme Court" or the effort to remove the electoral college, thereby consolidating power in fewer states. Listen to those who suggest that states like Wyoming shouldn't have as many senators as California because it doesn't have as many people.
These efforts all focus on consolidating power. Even with the best of intentions, such efforts will only lead to greater corruption.
Resisting the consolidation of power isn't easy. Even Tolkien's characters who successfully resist the ring, only do so with great difficulty. We shouldn't expect it to be easy for us either. But it will be critical for the survival of our Democratic Republic.
This is my last point: let's not be content with acknowledging there is some mix of vice and virtue in everyone. Like Tolkien, let's go a little deeper and ask ourselves the most important question: What trajectory is my political engagement leading me toward?

Around the Grounds: Davidson's emotional Glory farewell, Wanderers recruit eyes Leeds debut and Mariners trial former K-League pair
John Greco and Jacob Windon 1561443191
Jason Davidson has penned an emotional message to Perth Glory and their fans after his move to K-League club Ulsan Hyundai was officially confirmed on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old left-back was prised away from Glory by the Korean heavyweights Ulsan after a sensational maiden season in the Hyundai A-League with the WA club.
The ex-Caltex Socceroos defender - who previously featured in the Premier League for West Bromwich Albion and the Eredivisie for FC Groningen - had a year left on his Glory deal but could not pass up the chance to try his luck overseas again.
And after his transfer was officially confirmed, Davidson posted a message on Twitter to thank Glory and their fans for a wonderful year in Perth.
"To be able to come home and win the Premiers Plate and make it to the Grand Final in my first year in the A-League was truly special and fulfilling experience for my family and I," he wrote.
INS AND OUTS: Perth Glory
SIGNING NEWS: All of the Hyundai A-League Ins & Outs
"My wife and I have fallen in love with Perth the city, the people and especially the amazing fans who have been so welcoming and supportive of us both."

Schwegler eyes debut against Leeds
Western Sydney Wanderers recruit Pirmin Schwegler admits he is counting down the days until a potential club debut against Leeds United at the new Bankwest Stadium on July 20.
The Swiss midfielder - who boasts 13 years of Bundesliga experience - joined the Wanderers in May from Hannover 96, and is one of five new signings coach Markus Babbel has made so far this off-season.
INS AND OUTS: Western Sydney Wanderers
REMEMBER WHEN: The last time Manchester United and Leeds United were in Australia
"I can't wait (for the Leeds game), I count the days," Schwegler said in an interview on the Wanderers' official website.
"I've seen the stadium, it's amazing like in Europe, like Germany.
"So we want to make (the fans) happy and we'll give our best for that."
He added: "I think there is something growing [at the Wanderers] and I want to be a part of it and I want to help. I know it's going to be a good time."
Former K-League stars on trial at Mariners
Central Coast Mariners are trialling two former K-League players, club CEO Shaun Mielekamp has confirmed to the Daily Telegraph.
Free agents Kim Eun-sun (31) and Lee Sang-ho (32) are both in Gosford aiming to earn places in Alen Stajcic's Mariners rebuild.
The two South Koreans have faced Hyundai A-League opposition in the AFC Champions League, with Sang-ho's Suwon Bluewings side facing Sydney, Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory, while the attacking midfielder also came up against Western Sydney Wanderers for FC Seoul.
Defensive midfielder Eun-sun was also involved in that Suwon team who faced Brisbane and Sydney in Asia's showpiece tournament.

You've come to the right place! I get a LOT of selenium questions (and by "a LOT" I mean practically one a day) so can definitely provide some background on this trace mineral as well as some feeding recommendations that should have you, your barn manager and your veterinarian sleeping like babes.
As background, the body requires selenium for three main purposes: as an antioxidant, for immune function, and in thyroid hormone metabolism. Deficiencies have been reported in 46 of 50 states, mainly because the soil across much of the US is deficient in this mineral and therefore plants grown on it such as pasture and hays are also deficient. Signs of selenium deficiency include weakness, impaired movement, difficulty swallowing, respiratory distress, impaired cardiac function, and other nutritional-based muscle conditions such as white muscle disease in foals and tying up (rhabomyolysis) in adults.
Your veterinarian or county extension agent can confirm whether or not you live in a selenium-deficient area and therefore if your pasture or hay might be low in this mineral. If you really want to be exact, you could send in your hay for analysis and get back an actual number, knowing that it's only accurate for that particular batch of hay. But unless you live in the Rocky Mountain or Great Plains region or get your hay from there, assume your horse's forage is not providing excessive amounts of this nutrient. Your horse is probably getting more selenium from the combination of a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement and the Vitamin E & Selenium Pellets by SmartPak, so absolutely add up these two amounts. Since most joint and hoof supplements don't contain selenium though, neither of these products should be adding to the total amount of this nutrient your horse is receiving from all his different feeds on a daily basis.
The sixth edition of the National Research Council (NRC) Nutrient Requirements for Horses estimates the horse's daily selenium requirement at 0.1mg/kg of the total ration, which, when you do the math for an 1100 pound horse, comes out to about 1mg of selenium per day from all feedstuffs combined. However, keep in mind this is the minimum level required to prevent obvious signs of deficiency such as described above. One team of researchers showed that 3mg of selenium per day may provide benefits beyond those necessary to support life, such as improved immune status. More than 5mg of selenium per day is probably unnecessary since there appear to be no additional benefits but it is still well within the margin of safety. According to the NRC, the maximum tolerable concentration of selenium in the diet is 5 mg per kg of feed, or about 50 mg per day for an average-sized adult horse. Without excessive amounts of selenium in the hay or pasture though, this level would be very hard to reach even if you fed your horse several selenium-enriched grain and supplements.
Thanks so much for clearly explaining the selenium question!
That is reassuring! My horse has been on SmartE and selenium for some time. At first he lost weight? but then actually started holding his weight better than ever. I have wondered sometimes too if maybe I should ease up on the intake of SmartE and selenium because I do not want him to have more than he should. So far and still it is his favorite of all his SmartPaks.
Its very interesting how the selenium levels change between humans and animals.
Animal can get toxicated much more easily than a human can.

TLD Athletes on top at RedBull Rampage
Brandon Semenuk wins People's Choice
(Virgin, Utah, USA): Another RedBull Rampage has come and gone, with no shortage of excitement, drama and riders elevating mountain biking to new levels. A record 7 Troy Lee Designs athletes were invited to compete in the world famous event, the most of any brand in the competition. Brandon Semenuk, Cam Zink, Brendan Fairclough, Tom Van Steenbergen, Logan Peat, Kyle Jameson and Bas Van Steenbergen were the 7 athletes invited to compete, with Fairclough, Zink and Semenuk being automatic qualifiers to the finals. That left Tom, Bas, Logan and Kyle having to ride thursdays qualifiers. We are so proud of our team riders, and honored to have them in premium TLD protection, D3 helmets and looking unique in our Sprint gravity kits. Don't forget to watch the RedBull Rampage on NBC DEC 27, 2015 @ 3:00 PM EST
The event, originally scheduled for Sunday, was moved up to Friday, as severe thunderstorms were in the forecast for the weekend, which meant qualifiers would be moved up as well. Sadly, earlier in the week, Logan Peat would have to depart suddenly from the Utah desert, to head home to Canada to be with his Mother, who eventually passed away from illness late last week. We wish Logan and his family the best wishes during this tough time.
With Logan Peat headed back home, we still had Kyle Jameson, Tom Van Steenbergen and Bas Van Steenbergen to qualify. Tom had to pull out Wednesday evening because he had a crash in practice the day before, so he decided to sit out as he has been battling a torn ACL all season long. It was time to shut it down and get surgery this off season to return stronger for 2016. Kyle and Bas had built very technical, yet fun looking lines, with Bas's being a little more world cup DH racer style, with high speed and flow. Kyle had a technical line as well, even doing a flat 360 over one of the big features, but, it would not be enough to advance to the finals. Bas would advance to the finals in his first ever Rampage appearance and was elated to be making it in, "It was surreal to have been invited, but to make it into the finals is so cool, i'm bummed for Tom to not be in, but it will be cool to have my Mom, Dad and Tom cheer me on friday, since they are all here".
Moving into the big day, everyone was on edge, it is the nature of Rampage, it is the gnarliest mountain bike event in the world, no question about it. The event has elevated itself into a zone that the riders and organizers never thought possible but that is the allure of Rampage. With the TV helicopters up in the air, live broadcast streaming throughout the world, the first rider dropped in, which was followed by Brendan Fairclough, who spends his time during the season racing the clock, not sending it down cliffs in the middle of the desert! Brendan had chosen to debut a new Sprint colorway (REFLEX Orange) available in 2016, for his run paired with his matching TLD custom painted D3 carbon helmet. Brendan came down fast on his sketchy line, along with some tricks that were totally unexpected for the world cup racer, landing him in the 8th place spot when the scores came in, "Ah man, Rampage?, I often wonder why I am doing this, it's so scary up there, and I wanted to step it up this year and see if I could try some tricks even, I just learned backflips 3 weeks ago, and I am absolute shit at them, but, doing it over the canyon ended up alright though! It is a good trip with my mates helping me build the line, but I am so glad to be safe and head out of here! off to California for some riding, and begin the off season training" Brendan told us after the event.
With Fairclough safely down, and after a few riders and big crashes, it was Cam Zink time! What do you say about this American legend? Cam is Rampage and Cam has pushed the entire field to go big at Rampage, Zink does big tricks never thought possible on a mountain bike. Zink was planning on doing his same death-defying line from last year-which included his massive 60' cliff drop with a 360°. Cam also built a new feature after his 360° drop, a flat drop back flip. So figuring he could step up his run which scored him in 2nd place in 2014 (and he won best trick in 2014) he was calculating like the tactician that he is, for a impressive Zink win. Cam dropped in from the top, down a straight vertical drop, leading into his 360°...BAM!, stuck the landing! then over to his new canyon jump and into his new flat drop flip-NAILED IT!, finished it up with some fun in the final moments of his run, and then the scores came in...with an 89.25! into the lead.
A few riders start to come in with questionable scores, Zink debated even doing a 2nd run, "Man, what do they want me to do? my line is so gnarly, the 360°, the backflip, I stepped it up a ton over last year with the lower half of my run, and it's an 89.25, not sure it's worth it?, I stomped my run, everyone is riding insane though, but i'm just not sure I can increase the score". Zink's good friend Paul Basagotia took a really hard crash a few riders after Zink came down, and that sealed the deal for Zink to not do a 2nd run which would leave him finishing a dissapointing 6th place. Zink wanted to mention the donation page to help in Paul Bas's recovery: Paul Basagotia road to recovery #iRideForPaul and we at TLD urge you to go help Paul B in his recover. Zink would ultimately finish in 6th place, Zink would later learn that he was voted 2nd place in the People's Choice Award, behind TLD team mate, Brandon Semenuk.
Brandon Semenuk, who won this competition when he was 16 years old, is considered a Rampage veteran at only 23 yrs old and always a threat to win as he is regarded as the most innovative rider of our time. Brandon was giving the fan's a sneak peek of another 2016 Sprint kit, in addition he had a custom painted D3 carbon helmet featuring a new smoke treatment the TLD paint shop was playing with "I asked Troy Lee if I could run one of the new Sprint kits and he was cool with it, even though it's too early haha, so I picked this clean, red and white Sprint kit. I was stoked on the helmet, it had this holographic look in the RedBull silver, and the smoke was killer, they always have my lids dialed".
Brandon dropped in on his line that he created last year with his crew, but with some added refinements to it that had it a little more fun and trickable. When he got down, it was a run that everyone agreed would be the winning run, it was flawless, technical and high risk. Brandon's score came in with a 94.00 and we thought it stand for the day-but the judges would not have it, ultimately scoring 3 other riders with higher scores.
Redbull created a peoples choice fan voting system 3 years ago and Brandon would once again take home the peoples choice award, his 3rd in a row, winning a Polaris RZR "I am pumped on my build crew, they crushed the build this year, worked so hard, refined the line, and made it so sweet to do some radder tricks, it was a lot more fun to ride my line this year, I think I stomped it, did what I wanted to do, so I am real happy. Winning the peoples choice voting almost means more, knowing the fans thought I had the best run, its really sick, thanks to the fans watching and voting for me".
And so that closes out the 2016 mountain bike freeride season, with our team safe and sound, pushing the limits and coming out on top with the fans that follow the sport. Congrats to all of our team for riding so well, and we thank them all for their hard work with the brand in developing what we think is the best protection, apparel, helmets and sportswear in the world. Mixed in with an incredible season of World Cup Downhill racing with Aaron Gwin becoming the World Cup Champion in TLD Helmets and Apparel, Luca Shaw of SRAM/TLD Racing being the World Cup Rookie of the year, Brendan Fairclough back in the game, BMXers Sam Willoughby and Alise Post winning races all year, with some BMX still to come in the coming weeks-Thanks to all of our Athletes for making us better and pushing the limits.

NACCHO Aboriginal Children's Health #refreshtheCTGRefresh #HOSW8 @fam_matters_au Download the #FamilyMatters Report 2018: The report 2018 urges that investment in #prevention is critical to stopping our national child removals crisis
" We call on all Australian Governments
to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their representatives over the
coming year and beyond to implement the evidence based strategies for change that this report shows are desperately needed. We hope that, as a result, next year's report will show a changing story.
The choices that we make now go to the very heart of our shared obligation to heal our nation's fractured past and secure our children's future."
– Natalie Lewis, Chair of Family Matters
At the launch of this Family Matters Report 2018, the campaign is calling upon the Council of Australian Governments to work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders and organisations across the country, to develop a generational Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children's strategy to eliminate over-representation in out-of-home care and address the causes of child removals.
Family-Matters-Report-2018
The rate at which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are being removed from their families is an escalating national crisis.
The Family Matters Report 2018, which was released at the Healing Our Spirit Worldwide Conference in Sydney today, finds that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are now 10.1 times more likely to be removed from their families than non-Indigenous children. And the rate is projected to triple in the next twenty years if urgent action is not taken.
Fewer than half of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are placed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander carers, following a steep decline over the last 10 years. This places Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who are removed from their families at serious risk of being permanently disconnected from their families, communities and cultures.
The Family Matters Report 2018 points to a number of issues as the drivers of over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the child protection system. Poverty is one – it was found that 25 per cent of clients accessing homelessness services were Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, and most disturbingly, of those clients, one in four was a child under the age of 10.
Family violence was also highlighted in the report, where in 2016-17, emotional abuse, which can include exposure to family violence, was the most common child protection concern for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
Another driver of over-representation is intergenerational trauma. Direct descendants of the Stolen Generations are 30 per cent more likely to have poor mental health than other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. All of these factors put our children at greater risk of entering the child protection system.
The report also notes with concern the strong trends in policy and legislative reform to increase the focus on permanent care and adoption. The recently released report from the Senate Inquiry into Local Adoption recommends pathways to open adoption for all children in out-of-home care, which will disproportionately impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
As recognised in the ALP's dissenting report this "willfully ignores the weight of evidence from submitters, it also flies in the face of human rights conventions". Safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children is always the priority and this includes ensuring their connection to culture, community and kin, as recognised in the Family Matters Report.
This year's report is solutions-focussed, highlighting the way forward for positive change. We must shift from being reactive to being proactive, invest heavily in solutions, and involve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in decision-making about their own children.
Governments are only investing 17% of child protection funding in support services for children and their families, which are critical to preventing the situations that lead to child removals. The majority of child protection funding (83%) is spent on child protection services and out-of-home care – reacting to problems once they've already occurred.
There must be a significant boost in funding of culturally safe preventative and early intervention measures to urgently put a stop to these high rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child removals.
But, the pace of investment and action in prevention and early intervention is slow. Efforts to address broader community and social issues that contribute to risk for our children across areas such as housing, justice, violence and poverty, remain vastly inadequate and lack coordination… This year's Family Matters Report puts a spotlight on primary prevention measures in the early years of children's lives – the years that matter most to changing the storyline for our families."
Another way forward is putting greater focus on early years services to ensure that our children have the best possible start in life. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander five-year-olds are 2.5 times more likely to be developmentally delayed than non-Indigenous children. And yet they are accessing early childhood education and care at half the rate of non-Indigenous children. We must facilitate greater access for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families to early years services.
The Family Matters Report 2018 also highlights the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander decision-making in child protection. So far only Victoria and Queensland have a statewide program to support Aboriginal families to participate in child protection decisions. Only the same two states have agreed on a comprehensive strategy to improve outcomes for children that is overseen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family-led decision-making in child protection must be rolled out nation-wide to ensure the best outcomes for our children.
Family Matters is Australia's national campaign to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people grow up safe and cared for in family, community and culture. The campaign is led by SNAICC – National Voice for our Children – the national peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Our goal is to eliminate the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care by 2040.

I was lucky enough to receive The Rose Muddle Mysteries: The Amber Pendant by Imogen White as a random prizewinner. A re-tweet of Sara Grant promoting Undiscovered Voices for SCBWI-BI – and it came in the post. Always exciting to get a real paper book!
I wanted to read The Rose Muddle Mysteries: The Amber Pendant in its own right – and as an Undiscovered Voices winner in 2014. What could I learn from it? Here are some conclusions – which focus on what works and why.
The illustrations on the cover and inside are by Davide Ortu. Their bold, cartoon-like quality, together with a degree of sinister and subtle shading, suggests a book for older children rather than teens. The quirkiness in the lettering hints at humour. Both promises are agreeably fulfilled.
What you can't see in the image above is the shiny glaze on the pendant – and in the eyes of the creeplings. Usborne's production values make this an attractive book – and in our strongly visual culture, this feels right. Even without the sheen around her, you still get a fine sense of Rose as a bold girl slap-bang in the middle of the action.She's brave, a bit cheeky – and central to the adventure.
Historical mysteries are in vogue at the moment – see Robin Stevens' Murder Most Unladylike series or Katherine Woodfine's Edwardian Sinclair's Mysteries. The unusual aspect of Rose Muddle's story is the magical element – a touch of Susan Cooper and of Wilkie Collins.
The monkey in the picture, Bahula, is also significant. He plays a key role in the plot – and Imogen White uses Rose's changing reactions to him to reveal character development. This is economical and effective. Including animals seems like a smart idea.
Period details are linked to common (ish) experiences to ease readers into a different world – for example smell of toffee apples in the Pleasure Garden. Tiny little episodes like Rose remarking on a lamplighter passing by are used too – again with double purpose. Not just a reminder of 19th century Hove but a swift way for showing time passing. Neat.
Historical and fantasy books do tend to be longer due to the scene setting. This one is 329 pages with 46 short chapters. Maps and images of key characters help the reader too – and in some cases, matters are spelled out.
Her eyes flashed at him. She just wanted his reassurance.
This is a reminder to me to judge carefully when to show and when to tell. Young readers are smart – but not experienced. I do recall being frustrated by books that assumed I understood when I didn't. Little things like italics for first person thoughts do help.
When a strand that had gone off-stage reappears, there's a little re-iteration (often through dialogue). Likewise the narrator voice is used to signal the change from one character's point of view to another. Minor characters in particular get visual labels (for example a monocle) to help the reader keep tag. Major ones with speaking parts get repeated phrases. The delightful Rui has a delicious and amusing turn of phrase in particular.
'Elephas Maximus!' is his expression of surprise or wonder.
I should bear all this in mind when using a large cast.
The presence of an unseen malevolent observer in one scene reinforces the usefulness of third person. There's something of a pantomime 'She's behind you!' moment for the reader – which can't be done in a purely first person narrative. Ideal for a mystery – especially one with a sense of humour.
I am heartened that such a blend of history and fantasy has been published. Its convincing sense of a real place in a specific time period combined with myth and legend delights me. It gives me many pointers for my work ( even more than I've covered here). It also gives me hope.

Fascinating reading. I've never read a review with a writer's perspective before. Really enjoyed it. And you've sold the book to me.
You sweetheart. I'm sure Imogen White will be pleased about that.
Lovely Philippa! I saved this, now playing catch-up. A beautifully written perspective on another book to add to my TBR pile.


What I should be doing is continuing to paint my Six Day War lead mountain: no point in having ten Egyptian T-55s if they have no supports and no-one to fight.
What I actually did this weekend, of course, was to dive into my sci-fi lead mountain, painting up a few bits and pieces from projects that needed completion.
I'm still loving the Chuhuac: just got to get them onto the battlefield again.

What If You Managed Like Willy Wonka?
HR/Benefits
Gene Wilder's passing reminds us of his famous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory role.
By Suzanne LucasFreelance writer@RealEvilHRLady
Actor Gene Wilder died yesterday at the age of 83. While he had many famous roles, many of us remember him as the original Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The genius candy inventor also managed an entire factory of employees. How'd he do at that? Well, here's what would happen to you if you managed like Willy Wonka.
(Caveat: While I recognize that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory author, Roald Dahl was British and Wonka's Chocolate factory would be subject to UK laws, this article is written from an American perspective--what if you, in your American company, operated like Willy Wonka. Also, if there is a discrepancy between the book and film, I'm going with the book version.)
Firing Everyone.
When Wonka's employees started selling his secrets to his competitors, he just shut everything down. Fired everyone. Closed the doors. Finished. No warning.
What would happen to you: Closing an entire factory down makes you subject to the WARN act--Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act which means you would need to notify your employees 60 days in advance (provided you have more than 100 employees). If you can't warn them, you have to pay them out 60 days worth of salary. There are exceptions, of course, but better check with your lawyers before firing everyone Wonka Style.
Hiring Foreigners.
Wonka went out and found people who were willing to work for less than minimum wage (cacao beans) and brought them to his factory. They seemed to love it and were happy to be away from Hornswaggers, Snozzwangers, and Wangdoodles who ate them in their native Loompaland. He hired them directly from their home country, so it's safe to say that they didn't have the requisite green card or US citizenship.
What would happen to you: Unless you were able to convince the government that there were not any qualified factory workers and therefore were eligible for special work visas, you'd be out of luck. Most of the factory workers wouldn't be highly skilled professionals and so the HB1 visa would be available to them. (Those that helped invent Wonka TV probably would qualify, though.) They aren't agricultural workers either, so wouldn't qualify for temporary agricultural visas. So, basically, you'd be in trouble for bringing them in illegally.
And let's talk about paying your workers with cacao beans? Yeah, even if you provide housing, you still need to meet minimum wage, with overtime as applicable. You can deduct housing costs, but somehow I doubt this was happening in the chocolate factory.
Big Pipes of Chocolate.
As a chocolate lover, I can get behind the river of chocolate and mixing it by water fall. Delicious!
What would happen to you: First of all, it's doubtful you'd want to spend the money on such a thing, but let's say you did. That boat that goes down the river? I'm thinking you're going to have a hard time getting health inspectors that say that is okay. Let's talk fines.
Experimenting on Employees
Yes, the employees at Wonka's Chocolate Factory seem to be happy enough to try Wonka's experimental candys.
What would happen to you: The FDA would not be quite so happy. Something that causes a massive amount of hair to grow would be regulated as a pharmaceutical and would need to go through years of testing before trying it on a human. You'd need to show tons of research data and make sure all i's were dotted and t's crossed before giving it to an employee for testing. You'd be shut down.
What could be more awesome than squirrels cracking your shells open?
What would happen to you: This is just silly. Squirrels would steal the nuts and run away. It would make a great YouTube video if you could get it to work, though. If you did, though, PETA would be outside your door protesting your abuse of squirrels.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the greatest children's books of all time. Sorry to spoil it for you with a dose of reality. Just keep in mind the fun parts of Mr. Wonka, and Gene Wilder who played him so well.

Students cut, splice together footage into film…
Students cut, splice together footage into film about life at Bonny Doon Elementary
By Kimberly White |
BONNY DOON — It"ll be crunch time next week at Bonny Doon Elementary School, with students and teachers working side by side to create a cinematic kaleidoscope of daily life at the small, one-district school.
The final product is set to be screened Wednesday, when participants in the county Office of Education"s Inside Education program visit small districts such as Bonny Doon.
The goal of the program is to provide business leaders, teachers, parents and others with a real-life, inside glimpse into what goes on at the county"s elementary, middle and high school campuses. And what better way to showcase Bonny Doon and its achievements than with a student-produced "Day in the Life" film?
Earlier this year, dozens of teachers from 21 schools enrolled in the Digital Connections program, offered through the county Office of Education. During the training sessions, they learned how to integrate digital and multimedia skills into their core curricula, then returned to their classrooms with camcorders and laptops in tow.
The two Bonny Doon teachers who participated in the program — Holiday Smith, who teaches a combined fourth- and fifth-grade class, and third-grade teacher Gus Balla — were so excited about learning the new skills that they decided to immediately put them to work in their respective classrooms. Soon, students were engaged in a basic cinematography project aimed at documenting life there, with a special emphasis on those aspects that set their school apart from others.
"The idea in the community is that Happy Valley is kind of the technology school, and Pacific is known for its food lab program," said Bonny Doon Principal Stephanie Siddens. "We were just thinking about what our school"s known for, and in our community, it"s known for art, music and dance and really just valuing the entire child."
Setting off to document as many facets of school life as possible, the students spent about 10 days filming art, music and dance performances and conducting short interviews with staff and teachers. Filming wrapped up last week, and students are now involved in editing the footage and packaging it into film of up to 20 minutes.
Siddens predicted this week"s work will be the most time consuming, since the most laborious part of any film project is deciding what to keep and can be sacrificed.
"It"s like when they"re writing something, they don"t want to go back and edit anything out," Siddens said.
Smith said students are so excited about the project that many are even giving up their free time to work on it. The editing process started last week, she said, and "now they"re working on it on their lunch break. They don"t even want to go out to recess."

Always Drunk: Let's Compare To-Do Lists, Mmmkay?
Let's Compare To-Do Lists, Mmmkay?
You know how sometimes you say things that are utterly mundane and no different from things you say on a regular basis?
Today I processed accounts payable.
Tonight I'm drinking a bunch of vodka.
Last night I dreamed about penises.
Today I won 428 million dollars in the lottery.
Tonight I ate an entire octopus.
Last night Johnny Depp gave me a coconut-oil massage.
Well, I actually have something to say that is different.
Tomorrow I will serve my spouse with divorce papers.
If you can commiserate, tell me.
By the way, he's totally expecting it and OK with it.
Our divorce is shaping up to be as unconventional as our marriage.
I just hope it turns out better.
Tell me one thing you did today that was not normal.

Well, I don't think I've ever gotten a massage from Johnny Depp, but my memory has some large holes in it and I can't say for sure.

I did an undisplaced flap surgery on a mandibular first molar with pocket currettage and furcal MTA graft.

Last night I dreamed I was a woman--not that unusual, actually--who broke into the house of an aging professor of biology--that's pretty weird--to steal his map of locations for an alligator-sized salamander. Aaaand we're back to normal.


This week has seen a new electric driverless shuttle bus enter into a trial in the Dutch town of Wageningen. The new WePod, which was developed at Delft Technical University and is cable of carrying six passengers, embarked on a short 200m journey along a stretch of road by the side of the town's lake.
The plan is to roll-out a fleet of WePods over the next few years along a four mile route of public roads in the town. During its test phase the WePod's will not travel in challenging conditions, such as in rush hour traffic, at night or in bad weather, and a control room will monitor the vehicle and safety of its passengers. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 25km per hour.
Cameras onboard the WePods map landmarks, which are used as an alternative navigation tool when GPS accuracy is masked by road obstacles like trees. The WEpod can be booked using an app which will allow passengers to reserve a seat and specify their starting points and their destinations. Vehicles are expected to select their itineraries independently.
EasyMile, a joint venture between robotics company Robosoft and vehicle manufacturer Ligier Group, designed the driverless shuttles for Citymobil2 - a pilot programme for automated transportation systems in Europe funded by the EU. The project cost €3.5m or about $4m is USD.
EZ10, the predecessor to the WEPod, has successfully transported 19,000 passengers in Vantaa, Finland and on a university campus in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Judge ruled in favor of César Acuña in a complaint against journalists: attack against freedom of expression
Home » News » Judge ruled in favor of César Acuña in a complaint against journalists: attack against freedom of expression
According to the criteria of
Of the 55 phrases that the former presidential candidate of the Alliance for Progress (APP) Cesar Acuna Peralta considered offenses in the book "Plata como cancha", by Christopher Acosta, Judge Raúl Jesús Vega admitted 34, at the time of condemn to the investigative journalist and editor of Penguin Random House, Jerónimo Pimentel, to two years in prison suspended for aggravated defamation.
The head of the Criminal Liquidating Court 30 of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima also imposed the joint payment (including the editorial) of S / 400 thousand in favor of Acuña Peralta, as well as rules of conduct for Acosta and Pimentel, among them not to be absent from their homes without judicial authorization and attend a biometric control every 60 days to report on their activities.
LOOK: Silvana Carrión: "There must be exclusive judges for the Lava Jato case" | INTERVIEW
"What a good president can be a man who beat, insulted and spat on his wife, who has three children out of wedlock and who does not fulfill his responsibilities." This was one of the phrases in the book "Plata como cancha" that judge Raúl Jesús Vega described as defamatory against the former regional governor of La Libertad.
However, the author of this was not Acosta, but former congresswoman Rosa Núñez.
Núñez, during the process of his divorce with Acuña Peralta, where the distribution of the assets of the marriage was at stake, assured in November 2015, in an extensive interview in the newspaper "Peru 21", that he suffered physical and psychological abuse from the leader of APP.
Roberto Pereira, lawyer for the author of "Plata como cancha", indicated that the sentence constitutes a "deadly thrust" against investigative journalism, because "it is demanding an impossible standard to meet, not only here but in the world." He added that in the next few days they will be formally presenting the appeal.
"What the judge has said is that if one cites a source, and identifies it and does not alter what the source has said, in addition, what you have to do is check the absolute veracity of what that source has stated", stated in RPP Noticias.
Acosta, in statements to Latina Noticias, said that they had the feeling that the sentence would be negative, but "not with such poor arguments."
The magistrate Raúl Rodolfo Jesús Vega imposed 2 years in suspended prison on the author of 'Plata Como Cancha' and a civil compensation of 400 thousand soles, based on a lawsuit filed by César Acuña.
Unknown doctrine of "faithful reporting"
The lawyer Andrés Calderón, director of the Legal Clinic of Informative Freedoms of the Universidad del Pacífico, affirmed that the most remarkable thing about this ruling is that the judge "does not know" the doctrine of "faithful or neutral reporting", which is recognized by the Court Inter-American Human Rights (I / A Court HR) in the Herrera Ulloa Case in 2004.
"If Acosta cited Acuña's ex-wife, she cannot be required to corroborate [la denuncia de esta]. What you must prove is that the lady said it and that it has been well contextualized. This is something that the judge has ignored in various parts of the sentence, contravening the standard of faithful reporting, which is mandatory, after the judgment of the Inter-American Court ", he stated.
Fátima Toche, a lawyer at the Iriarte & Asociados law firm, described the sentence against Acosta and Pimentel as "terrible" and "contrary" to all national and international jurisprudence regarding the media and freedom of expression. What is a reliable source? Who determines that it is? How can a journalist not be able to cite a third party as a source? ", He stressed to this newspaper.
In the plenary agreement of the Supreme Court of Justice No. 3-2006 / CJ-116, which is binding, it is established that for the cases of "neutral reporting, the duty of diligence is satisfied with the verification of the truth of the fact of the declaration, but it does not extend in principle to the need to prove the truth of what has been declared ".
The Peruvian Press Council and the National Association of Journalists of Peru rejected the sentence against Acosta, Pimentel and the publisher, stating that the judge "has opened a disastrous and historic precedent against freedom of expression" in the country. Both institutions announced that they will request a visit from the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).
The Press and Society Institute (IPYS) indicated that it trusts that superior judges "will act to guarantee the freedom of expression violated in the first instance of the process."
The Inter-American Press Association (IAPA) regretted that lawsuits against journalists continue to be used in Peru "as a way to stop the dissemination of critical information of public interest."
The organization asked Congress to legislate "urgently" the decriminalization of crimes against honor.
Avelino Guillén on judgment against Christopher Acosta: "It is worrying news, the work of journalism must be respected"
Congressmen deplore ruling
Parliamentarians from Fuerza Popular, Avanza País, Together for Peru and the Purple Party deplored the conviction against Christopher Acosta, author of the book "Plata como cancha", and Jerónimo Pimentel, director of Penguin Random House, of two years in prison suspended for defamation against the leader of APP, César Acuña.
"Condemnation creates bad precedent against freedom of expression and investigative journalism. It is up to the second instance to review the judicial decision, "tweeted the spokeswoman for the Juntos por el Perú group, Ruth Luque.
Parliamentarian Alejandro Cavero (Avanza País) indicated that freedom of expression is "non-negotiable." "A shame this ruling," he added.
Former President of the Republic Francisco Sagasti considered that "a frivolous and senseless complaint" has led to a sentence "which is a gross distortion of justice."
On the contrary, the Secretary General of Peru Libre, Vladimir Cerrón, said that "freedom of expression has nothing to do here, but rather the corroboration of the statements in question."
Who is Judge Raúl Vega?
Raúl Rodolfo Jesús Vega, the judge who sentenced Christopher Acosta, is a lawyer from the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. In September 2016, he obtained a master's degree in Criminal Law from the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University, whose degree was denied by Sunedu years later.
Jesús Vega has been a supernumerary substitute judge of different criminal courts in Lima.

Священна гора — одне з найтиповіших місць поклонінь і справляння культових дійств у язичників.

Образ гори як моделі світу, місцеперебування богів виводиться ще від шумерських і праіндоєвропейських міфів. Зокрема, архаїчна традиція розташовувати на горі чи скелі божество-громовержця збереглася в культі бога Перуна, що відображено і в топонімії: його ім'я зустрічається серед назв гір і вершин на території розселення давніх слов'янських племен. На київській Горі князь Володимир Святославич встановив капище з ідолами Перуна, Хорса, Дажбога, Стрибога, Сімаргла і Мокоші. Образ Священної гори у міфології давнього населення України тісно пов'язаний із поховальними курганами-могилами. Для розташування святилища, справляння ритуалів язичники переважно обирали панівне у місцевості узвишшя. Характерним атрибутом Священної гори є наявність джерела чи криниці з «цілющою» водою або обрядового колодязя.

Міфологічна символіка Священної гори присутня в топоніміці, зокрема Божа гора і Свята Гора (у гряді Вороняки, Львівської області), Святі гори над Дніпром (біля Києва), Святі гори (поблизу м. Слов'янська Донецької області), Свєнтокшицькі гори (у Польщі), але також: Чортова Гора (в Рогатинському районі Івано-Франківської області), узвишшя Дракулів діл (у с. Драчинцях на Буковині), гора Бісоватий діл (у Південних Карпатах), Чортова скеля (побл. Львова) тощо. Зв'язок із міфологією зберігають і такі означення у назвах гори, як Біла і Чорна.

Один із найдавніших культових осередків у Середньому Подністров'ї локалізується на Білій горі (с. Бакоті Кам'янець-Подільського району), де виявлено жертовники та капища, що існували з поч. 2 тис. до н. е. і до 1 ст. н. е. Сліди святилища 9-поч. 11 ст. знайдені на Чорній горі в Жовківському районі Львівської області. Відомо, що язичницький культовий осередок існував у районі гори Богит, у Медоборах (над річкою Збруч), де знайдено Збруцький ідол. Містичний характер мають Лисі гори у різних слов'янських краях.

Із спільнослов'янським культом жіночого божества, богині-діви пов'язують ороніми на кшталт Дівич-гора, Дівоча гора. Вони відомі в цілому слов'янському світі від Верхнього Дніпра до Родопів — Дівоча гора (Девичья гора) біля Смоленська, Дівоча гора або Дівич-гора над Дніпром у с. Трипіллі та березі Росі біля с. Сахнівки, низка вершин Дівин на території Чехії та Словаччини, г. Дівин південніше Пловдіва у Болгарії. Відомі Дівочі скелі на Тернопільщині. Археологічні дослідження підтверджують культовий характер таких вершин. Зокрема, на Дівочій горі в Трипіллі знайдено залишки святилища перших століть н. е.

Істотною прикметою язичницьких Священних гір було встановлення на частині з них, із утвердженням християнства, хрестів, каплиць, церков чи відкриття монастирів. Так, на Білій горі у Бакоті засновано монастир св. Михайла, на вершині Дівочої гори над Россю віддавна встановлено три хрести (місцеве населення не пов'язує їх із похованнями); а на Київській горі, де стояли ідоли, після хрещення киян Володимир Святославич побудував церкву св. Василія; на Святих горах (поблизу Слов'янська) збудовано Святогірський Успенський монастир.

Поклоніння Священній горі збереглося в окремих місцевостях до нашого часу (Аннина гора на околиці Вашківців на Буковині), на яких щороку збираються тисячі прочан.

´I´ll turn 22 soon!´ – Dzeko still feeling young after inspiring Inter to silverware
Edin Dzeko joked he feels like a 21-year-old again after playing a starring role in Inter's Supercoppa Italiana victory over Milan in Riyadh on Wednesday.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international became the competition's oldest goalscorer, overtaking Cristiano Ronaldo, with his well-taken strike in Inter's 3-0 triumph.
He had earlier played in Nicolo Barella with a delightful pass for the midfielder to tee up Federico Dimarco in a display that landed him the sponsors' man of the match award.
Dzeko turns 37 in March and is due to be out of contract at San Siro at the end of the campaign, but the veteran striker is not thinking about his future for now.
"That's not for today," he told Sport Mediaset. "We're happy for the fans because we deserved this win. Today we'll celebrate and then we can think about everything else."
Asked to confirm his age after rolling back the years, Dzeko laughed and said: "I'll be 22 soon!"
Lautaro Martinez profited from some more sloppy Milan defending – with Fikayo Tomori in particular at fault – to seal an emphatic Derby della Madonnina victory in Saudi Arabia.
Inter's win was their first over their fierce rivals in a final in what was the third such meeting, with Milan previously prevailing in the 2011 Supercoppa and the 1977 Coppa Italia.
Milan pipped Inter to the Serie A title last season, but Dzeko does not consider the victory at King Fahd International Stadium as any sort of revenge.
"That isn't the case," he said. "I always prefer to look ahead, just like everyone in the team. We won a cup today, one we already knew how good it is to win.
"We prepared well for the game and went onto the pitch with the aim of winning it. We played a great game and gave everything from the first minute until the last.
"I'm delighted to bring another cup home and hopefully there will be more in the future."
Having defeated Juventus 12 months ago, Inter retained the trophy and are now level with Milan on seven Supercoppa triumphs – within two of record-holders Juve.
Simone Inzaghi is now a four-time winner of the competition as a coach – twice with Inter and twice with Lazio – which tied the record with Marcello Lippi and Fabio Capello.
Reflecting on his latest success, Inzaghi said: "The lads had the perfect approach today, always sharp and focused. We need to enjoy this as beating Milan in a final is wonderful.
"Our first target for the season was to get through the group stage of the Champions League; the second was winning this trophy. It is pleasing for a coach to witness this."


Alec Baldwin offered marriage advice to his niece, Hailey Baldwin, and her new husband, Justin Bieber.
The 60-year-old actor was recently a guest on The Rachael Ray Show, for an episode that will air Oct. 15, where he opened up about the type of chats he had with the lovebirds ahead of their secret nuptials.
"It's young love," he says. "They came to my house this summer. Hailey, who is adorable, she came with [Justin] to my house, and they sat down. And I always say to people, 'You get married because you have to.' I don't mean in that sense... I meant that when I met my wife, [Hilaria Baldwin], I wasn't really thinking about getting married again. I wasn't sure [if I wanted to], I didn't really think about it much at all."
"And when I met Hilaria, I remember sitting there going, 'Oh, the thought that that woman is out there and I don't have her, I would be miserable,'" he continues. "Like, I had to marry her."
And Alec certainly knows a thing or two about tying the knot in the spotlight. He's been married to Hilaria since 2012, and the two share four kids together: daughter Carmen, 5, and sons Rafael, 3, Leonardo, 1, and Romeo, 3 months. He also shares a daughter, 22-year-old Ireland, with his previous wife, Kim Basinger.
ET spoke with Ireland at the iHeart Radio Festival back in September, where she reacted to what it's like seeing Hailey and Justin so in love.
"They're just kissing all over the world," she gushed. "They're just kissing and loving and having fun, and I think people take little details and get too caught up in them, and they're looking too hard. Just let them kiss!"
"[Their engagement] was meant to be a long time ago," she added. "It was just a long time coming, and we're all like, 'All right, thank God, let's move forward.' They're so in love and they really do a lot of good for each other, and that's the most important thing for me, that he makes her so happy."
Just one month after rekindling their romance, Justin, 24, proposed to Hailey, 21, in July while the two were vacationing in the Bahamas. They secretly tied the knot in New York City last month.
An additional source told ET earlier this week that although Justin and Hailey are legally married, the pop star is choosing not to wear a wedding band just yet, but will "most likely" rock one following a "more formal ceremony" with family and friends.
"Justin is telling friends he isn't planning on wearing a wedding band for a while," the source said. "As much as Hailey and Justin are public about their relationship, they are trying not to make a spectacle of it, and that is why they kept their marriage under wraps and got engaged without telling anyone."


With the likes of Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel among other celebrities choosing to get married in Apulia, this beautiful region has recently become one of the most sought after wedding destinations in Italy.
This month we want to introduce you to a one-of-a-kind venue. Located in the heart of Tuscany's gorgeous countryside, this exclusive Resort offers a destination wedding experience like no other.
Who said winter weddings can't be simply spectacular?!
The dreamy atmosphere of a snowy landscape, the warmth of a cosy interior, the glow of a thousand candles… now that's what we call romance!
The Temperley Bridal sample sale is a unique opportunity to find the perfect wedding gown. With prices starting from only £400 you simply can't miss it!
If your Fall wedding is behind the corner and you need some inspiration for the ever so important final touches there is no need to panic!
One of the many perks of a destination wedding in Italy is the unique opportunity to make a fabulous getaway out of it for you and your guests. If you are planning an intimate or medium scale event, why lose the opportunity to live this experience to the fullest?
Finally, a wedding show dedicated to Italy has arrived to London and we wouldn't have missed it for the world! Last Sunday we attended the Italian Destination Wedding Show hosted in the beautiful Sofitel St. James. Here is what we thought of it.
For centuries, Italy's suggestive landscapes, spectacular coastline, castled villages and immortal cities have been the setting of international literature, theatre and cinema. Quite like no other place in the world, Italy's unique combination of natural beauty and artistic wealth have captivated collective imagination and charmed artists, poets and international jet set alike.

Nevada Athletic Commission approves Project to examine Marijuana Regulation
Posted by Sagar Satapathy on January 15, 2017.
The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Friday unanimously approved a regulatory project which would examine the possibility of removing marijuana as a banned substance.
The project will be headed by NAC Executive Director Bob Bennett. He will consult the commission doctors, industry professionals in the fight business, and the marijuana community, to find out the advantages and disadvantages of a potential regulatory change, and produce his findings before the Commission. Then, the NAC will take final decision in this regard.
NAC Chairman Anthony Marnell said that a special hearing in March or April will be held to decide whether or not to remove marijuana substance from the banned list upon reviewing a report compiled by Bennett.
Currently, marijuana substance is banned by the commission for fighters in-competition, the period running from six hours before the competition to six hours after its completion, if more than 150 ng/ml is present in a fighter's sample. As a recreational drug, that limit is only enforced in-competition, meaning on fight night.
Popular UFC fighter Nick Diaz was famously suspended five years by the NAC for a third marijuana offense in 2015. The ban was bumped down to 18 months in a settlement agreement.
Luis Monda, head trainer at Johnny Tocco's Ringside Boxing Gym, doesn't believe fighters should be under the influence of drugs while fighting but does say regulations could be more lenient. "If you can't operate heavy machinery for very good reasons while you're high, you probably shouldn't be taking punches to the head for a similar reason," said Monda.
Last year, the use of recreational marijuana was voted and legalized in Nevada with limited restrictions, and the new law went into effect from Jan. 1.

Who Is Responsible for Paying For Injuries After Hit And Run Accident?
The motorist who hit you will be held responsible by the law, and also for your injuries. In many hit and run cases, the driver who caused the accident speeds away from the scene of the accident, leaving few clues to their identity. If this is the situation in your case, uninsured motorist coverage may be available. This coverage may cover your injuries and medical treatment, even if the person who hit you fled, and even if you were not in a vehicle when struck. Getting a fair settlement from an insurance company can be complicated and exhausting. The insurance company will be unwavering in their attempts to settle quickly so they can pay out the bare minimum. You deserve more. Don't become a victim twice. Obtain full compensation for pain and suffering, property damages, physical therapy, medical bills, and lost wages by hiring experienced personal injury attorneys at Action Law Offices.
