Fear of the Queer Child
Clifford Rosky, S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of UtahFollow
This article is about the fear of the queer child — the fear that exposing children to homosexuality and gender variance makes them more likely to develop homosexual desires, engage in homosexual acts, deviate from traditional gender norms, or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. This fear is thousands of years old, but it has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last half-century, in response to the rise of the LGBT movement. For centuries, the fear had been articulated specifically in sexual terms, as a belief that children would be seduced into queerness by adults. Since the 1970s, it has been reformulated in the more palatable and plausible terms of indoctrination, role modeling, and public approval.
Since the earliest days of the LGBT movement, advocates have responded to this fear by insisting that it is empirically false — that sodomy laws have "nothing to do" with children, that marriage laws have "nothing to do" with schools, that children raised by lesbian and gay parents are "no different" than children raised by heterosexual parents — and above all, that children's sexual orientation and gender identity are fixed early in life and cannot be learned or taught, chosen or changed. In recent years, this empirical strategy has begun to falter, as advocates run up against the inherent vagueness, incompleteness, and unpredictability of empirical data. To break through this strategic impasse, this article highlights a growing vanguard of scholars, lawyers, and judges who are developing a normative challenge to the fear of the queer child. It argues that the state has no legitimate interest in encouraging children to be straight or discouraging them from being queer, because it may not presume that queerness is immoral, harmful, or inferior — in children or in anyone else. The state must adopt a neutral stance toward children's straightness or queerness, without attempting to promote one set of desires, behaviors, or identities over the other.

Could Reducing Methane Emissions Curb Climate Change?
When it comes to air quality, we often focus on carbon dioxide (CO2) and how bad it is for the environment. But methane (CH4) is just as bad for the environment and many people consider it a far worse greenhouse gas than CO2. Let's look at the effects of methane gas and how we can combat methane emissions.
What is Methane?
Methane is a powerful colourless, odourless and highly flammable greenhouse gas. It occurs naturally as well as by specific human-related activities.
Where Does Methane Come From?
Humans contribute around 60% of methane emissions through fossil fuels, agriculture and waste, while the other 40% comes from natural sources.
We understand that the natural sources come from wetlands, termites, geological sources, wild animals and wildfires, as a result of digestion. While it's a fairly large portion of the causes, we can't do much in the way of tampering with the natural sources to reduce them. But we can minimise the human-related activities.
Agriculture forms the leading source of methane production globally. While all ruminant animals (hoofed herbivores that graze) can produce this gas, cows produce the most methane, releasing up to 500 litres of it into the atmosphere each day.
A growing population has meant that livestock farming has skyrocketed, which in turn creates more methane.
This wouldn't be a problem except for one crucial question…
Is Methane a Greenhouse Gas?
Yes. In fact, it is one of the most potent greenhouse gases. This means it contributes to climate change by heating up the atmosphere.
As a greenhouse gas, it is short-lived as it only has an atmospheric lifetime of around 12 years. Carbon dioxide, which is perhaps the most well-known and most written about greenhouse gas, can stay in the atmosphere for between 300 and 1,000 years.
So, Why is Methane Bad?
Methane is much more efficient than carbon dioxide at trapping radiation and warming the planet. Per unit of mass, the impact of methane on climate change over 20 years is 86 times greater than CO2; over a 100-year period, it is 28 times greater.
As the levels increase, the impact on the environment and human health will rise.
Methane Effects on the Environment
As methane is emitted, it leaves the atmosphere through oxidation, a process that causes methane to react with hydroxyl radicals (OH). These molecules clean the air of pollutants but the reaction reduces them in the atmosphere, meaning there's less available to clean the air. Oxidation also forms water vapour and carbon dioxide meaning it contributes to global warming directly and indirectly through the release of carbon dioxide.
Methane also contributes to the formation of ozone, a type of air pollutant that makes air quality worse and reduces crop yields.
Methane Effects on Humans
Ozone is also a hazardous air pollutant to humans, causing over one million premature deaths each year.
Low levels of methane are not toxic, but high levels can cause methane poisoning. When you breathe it in, it deprives the body of oxygen.
This can cause mental and physical symptoms such as:
Rapid breathing
Decreased vision, especially in low lights
Unconsciousness*
Reducing Methane Can Curb Climate Change
In 2019, atmospheric concentrations of methane reached record levels in our atmosphere, with 2.5x more methane than there used to be in the pre-industrial era. Because its atmospheric lifetime is so short in relation to CO2, reducing methane emissions is perhaps the most effective way to curb climate change.
In a global assessment of methane by the UN Environment Programme and the Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), they note that methane from human activities could be reduced by 45% within the next ten years, and if managed, it would reduce global temperatures by 0.3°C by 2045, which would help to meet the Paris Agreement's objective to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
According to the Global Methane Assessment, cutting 45% of human activity-caused methane emissions this decade could prevent:
255,000 premature deaths
775,000 asthma-related hospital visits
The loss of 73 billion hours of labour
The loss of 26 million tons of crops
How to Reduce Methane Emissions
Reducing methane emissions in the areas that produce the most (agriculture, fossil fuels and waste) is one way to reduce the effect of global warming with relatively simple fixes, such as locating and repairing methane leaks in pipes when they occur, reducing their release.
Many companies and scientists are looking to biotechnology to reduce methane in the air. Solutions like Pure Air Zone have a significant impact on breaking down this substance.
By harnessing a unique biophysical principle, Pure Air Zones are able to attract all harmful pollutants (such as particles and gasses) which would never respond to gravity or ventilation. Once the contaminants, including methane, are attracted to our bioreactor, a process called methane oxidation happens. This is a microbial metabolic process that is carried out by specific groups of bacteria. Thanks to natural bio oxidation, the contaminants and compounds are digested and transformed into water, carbon dioxide in a minimum quantity (as a result of cellular respiration), and if present, base elements.
If more businesses implemented solutions like becoming a Pure Air Zone, the impact on the climate would be enormous. If you're interested in learning more, discover how your business can become a Pure Air Zone below.

Today brings Barry Windsor-Smith Week full circle as we take another look at the legendary artist's take on Storm. The above image is from 1984, the same year that brought us Lifedeath. There's a rough masculine energy about this portrait that resonates with the powerless Storm from this era. Ororo had gained a fighting edge in order to become a better leader for the X-Men and at times, she found herself mirroring Wolverine's lust for battle. I must admit I had a hard time accepting this version of Storm. The art of BWS was radically different from the more polished superhero art to which I was accustomed. Also, the story of Lifedeath had a lot more talking than the typical superhero slugfests I had read until then. The themes of identity and responsibility felt very adult to me, like suddenly comics had deemed me more mature and spoke to me as such.
It might have appeared to some readers (as it did to me) that Storm had lost her femininity when she lost her powers. I know my younger self wanted the compassionate self-styled goddess back. However, the vision of BWS promoted Storm's warrior self as she had to deal with what it meant to be simply human. BWS's darker artwork, with all of its cross hatching and expressive lines, recreated Storm from the ground up. Perhaps the results weren't palatable to some, defied expectations of many, and incorporated elements that were unfamiliar to all, but this was a seminal moment for comics storytelling. Storm, the X-Men and the comics world at large would never again be the same.
Storm battles a Malice-possessed Dazzler on the cover of The Uncanny X-Men #214 (pencils by Arthur Adams, inked by Barry Windsor-Smith).
WonderCon Weekend: Pirates & Cowboys!
I'll admit, there was a long time when I wasn't sure if I liked the brutal, no-holds-barred warrior version of Storm. I was so used to the beautiful, life-affirming goddess, and I didn't see what made Forge (and others) go so crazy about punk-Storm.
Then I did some thinking…and more than a little arguing with one of my boyfriends, who likes Storm, and likes heroes who kill people.
In Lifedeath and other issues after her power-loss, Ororo was so down-to-earth she was almost ugly, but it helped me realize that I loved her as a character for more than her powers, for more than her beauty. Claremont and artists like BWS (intentionally or not) took away everything that originally appealed to me about Storm and then forced me to take a second look at her character. I came to the conclusion that Ororo was more than just a woman who controlled the weather. In some cases, she was more like an anthropomorphic personification of the weather…BWS especially helped me come to terms with this through his drastically different take on Storm.
The weather is not always nice to us. It won't stay bright and sunny when we want it to, rain exactly where it's needed, or otherwise obey us in any way, shape, or form. It's like a cat in that regard (which, when I look at Ororo's eyes, strikes me as a perfectly apt comparison). But if you pay attention and watch it closely enough (as meteorologists know), you can see that it does what it's compelled to do regardless.
Storm, the woman, is the same way. She follows her own dictates, journeys as the winds of her life command (if that's not too sickening an allegory). When she was robbed of the things that made her a goddess, necessity drove her to embrace what made her human…the change may or may not have been for the better, but it was profound and resonant, and permanent.
Even after she regained everything…powers, beauty, hair…she kept the wildness, skill, and instinct that had served her during the interim, becoming a more complete person all around.
That, to me, is the epitome of what an ongoing character's journey should be like. Life is ongoing, but it has chapters…one door closes, one more opens, etc. And at the end of the journey, people are rarely the same as they were when they started. Even when her hair and costumes became long and flowing again, she kept the innate baseness of humanity that she'd acquired, and I think, became more than the goddess or the warrior could ever have been on their own.
I would have never said it better Ingon..
being a huge fan of Storm too I read a few issues of her in her punk period.. but it's only because it wasn't really on sale in my country or just that I haven't enough money to buy it lol but I remember a few.

Every time, when I travel to Lund I visit this mighty church founded in 1080. I also took a look at crypt, which is identified by its numerous and densely built pillars. The pillars are very different in style and were built by the architect Donatus. The most famous pillar is the one with the statue of a man embracing it. Local legend tells that the figure is Finn the Giant, builder of the Cathedral.

As the giant, white sheet rose into the air concealing the stage, I knew that Pentatonix would be emerging very shortly. With bright, white lights flashing in a staccato, anticipatory rhythm, the implied countdown began, making the eventual drop all the more dramatic and thrilling. Five nearly ethereal beings in bright red, glittery ensembles were revealed standing in the shadows, and that's how they opened up with their first song, one of their power-pop originals, "Sing".
This quintet with machine-like accuracy and energy is comprised of Scott Hoying (baritone lead), Mitch Grassi (counter-tenor lead who hit some INSANE highnotes on many occasions), Kirstie Maldonado (mezzo-sopranos lead), Kevin Olusola (beatbox/vocal percussion), and Matt Sallee (bass lead). They were formed in 2011 on NBC's show Sing Off, going on to win the entire show and secure a recording contract with Sony Music. And after seeing them live, now I know why. In case it wasn't already implicitly clear, there are NO INSTRUMENTS besides vocals in this band. Kevin can play cello and beat box simultaneously, but that's a completely separate thing. The band, as a whole, is completely vocals-based. All "instruments" heard are from their combined collaborative singing styles and harmonies. That revelation honestly blew my mind, both the first time I heard them on TV, as well as live. Given that live shows are typically just a completely different entity than most other mediums, I considered the possibility that there might be some kind of backing track or pre-recorded addition to the set. But there never was – these people are as fluent and well rounded as any band, just with their voices.
There were two opening acts at this show in support of Pentatonix's upcoming album Top Pop Vol. 1, which were Calum Scott and Echosmith. I haven't heard much about Calum prior to tonight, but I did recognize his soulful and emotional song "You Are The Reason" from his radio-popularized duet with Leona Lewis. On the other hand, I was actually quite familiar with the family band Echosmith, who I had been vaguely aware of since hearing their hit song "Cool Kids" on the radio when it debuted in 2013. Though not a die-hard fan of either of the opening acts, I truly enjoyed seeing both display their talents and thoughtful music with the crowd – they are both something very special.
Of course, the idea of acapella is nothing new, but the way this band does it is fresh and reinvented. In other embodiments of the concept, it always seems a bit stuffy and amateur, like something a high school glee club would do for a variety show. This is absolutely not the case for Pentatonix – they have reinvented what pop music can become, giving it a stripped-down makeover with twice the pomp and circumstance.
After the opening song ended, the band did a couple covers, like Bruno Mars' "Finesse" and Charlie Puth's "Attention", but I especially loved hearing their original song "Can't Sleep Love" that I was familiar with from its radio play in 2015. The song has some clear doo-wop influences mixed with the poppy R&B feel that the band has come to do so well. Not only have they carved out a really clear niche for themselves, but Pentatonix also creates great original content that connects with their listeners on a very personalized level. This song is about looking for the kind of love that keeps you up at night in the best way, and how rare that is to find. For anyone who is a lovesick, hopeless romantic (like myself), they will find this song to be a comforting hug and a pat on the back, offering hope when it seems like there is none to be had.
The concert continued with some more covers, such as Camilla Cabello's "Havana", Ed Sheeran's "Perfect", and Luis Fonsi's "Despacito", just to name a few. Given how popular these covers are, it was a risky endeavor for the band to take songs that are already so developed in the minds of the audience, but they injected their own spin onto them quite well. I actually even had the pleasure of seeing Camilla Cabello perform "Havana" at Taylor Swift's Reputation tour earlier this summer, so it was fun to compare the Pentatonix version with what I had seen from the original artist already.
After those covers, the band took a break and Kevin did some "celloboxing" solos, which is a vastly impressive feat, all on its own – it needs no real description. But just imagine beat boxing, and playing cello at different rhythms, rates, and styles. He seemed more like a robot than a human, doing two things at once that shouldn't be able to exist together but somehow do in the strange and wonderful world that Pentatonix creates in their stage show. I'd compare it to Wonderland, but there was a distinct lack of cantankerous flowers and pipe-wielding caterpillars.
Honorable mentions would go to their Rihanna medley, which I thought was a stand-out performance due to how quickly they would seamlessly switch into the next song without missing a beat (quite literally). It is allegedly reported that they switch songs a whopping 38 times for this arrangement, which is nothing short of bizarre in the best way. My favorites were "Disturbia", "We Found Love", and "This is What You Came For". They also did a beautiful, practically heavenly rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", which is a classic, but quite a bit different from the pop/R&B selections of the rest of their musical catalogue. Their costume change from the red, sparkly ensembles to gold and elegant outfits seemed to symbolize this thematic shift into something new and emotional in a different way.
As the show came to a close after some more covers such as Demi Lovato's "Sorry Not Sorry", the band disappeared momentarily, only to reappear for an encore performance that they admitted that they had wanted to do for a while, but had fallen prey to the enormity of the piece and the pressure that it holds. That song, the one that had haunted them for as long as it did, was Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". This song is a monster – there are so many changes, layers, and dynamics to it which make it challenging enough to properly play with instruments. But with just exclusively vocals? That, my friend, is how you close a show. The harmonies, in this song especially, are on full display, with even the complicated guitar riffs mimicked with freakish accuracy.
Redefining the general perception of what defines a band, with ridiculous skills and amazing stage presence and energetic choreography, Pentatonix is a band to watch. But at the end of the day, it's important to remember that they're still human, after all. One of my colleagues is even very good friends with Matt, which is not only very cool, but it reminds me that they are not only talented artists, but also people, first and foremost. They have been climbing the ranks as of late since their original appearance on TV, and I have no doubt that they are going to continue to do amazing things – "celloboxing" is just the beginning.
Now I wish I saw the show! Your review was the next best thing :-).

The Division 2 endgame trailer: Specializations, blowing up drones, and more
By Connor Sheridan 2019-02-21T21:14:47Z
Watch The Division 2's endgame trailer and don't miss these 7 key details
There's always talk about endgame content with online titles like The Division 2, and this new trailer shows how Ubisoft will give players plenty to do after they hit the level cap. It's a quick introduction to one of the key areas Ubisoft is pushing for The Division 2, and it's packed with enough details that I decided to pull seven of them out for further scrutiny in gif form. Let's take a look.
Sharpshooters get sneaky sniping power
One of three specializations you can unlock for your agent once you hit the level cap, Sharpshooters get exclusive access to the .50 caliber sniper rifle and a set of perks to support a long-range playstyle. The Division's urban setting means you won't be doing any miles-long, coriolis-effect-calculating shots, but you can still deal plenty of death from the other side of the block.
Survivalists get explosive crossbows
The name "Survivalist" calls to mind folks who are no further than 10 feet from a bugout bag at all times, and The Division 2's Survivalists may have those too, but mechanically speaking they're the crowd control masters. They can set traps to damage enemies or impair them with status effects, and they get to exclusively wield the crossbow weapon. I don't know if it has to fire explosive bolts or if there are other options, but if it can explode… why not?
Demolitionists get explosive (duh) grenade launchers
The Demolitionist specialization is self-explanatory: they blow stuff up with grace, efficiency, and professionalism. Their Grenade Launcher (which kicks out explosive rounds a whole lot faster than a crossbow) gives them the ultimate tool for disrupting enemy positions and emplacements. Not to mention they make that satisfying "thunk" sound when they discharge.
New strongholds will keep you busy after the campaign
Once you finished the main campaign in the original Division, the open-world of New York was mostly safe and boring. The opposite will happen in The Division 2. Once the end game begins, a new PMC-styled faction called Black Tusk will descend on DC and start capturing territory across the city and in the Dark Zones. You'll have a whole lot more work to do after they show up.
Black Tusk basically have Power Armor soldiers
There's something very familiar about the sight of a near massively armored soldier stomping across a ruined Washington DC and firing a hundred-pound minigun… just can't put my finger on it...
You can still fight helicopters, sort of
Spoiler warning for a three-year-old game, but the original Division's vanilla campaign ends with a boss battle against - no lie - a heavily armed attack helicopter. After all the somewhat-grounded, close-up combat against dudes in hoodies and gas masks, it was the most beautiful jumping-the-shark moment I had experienced in years. I don't know if we'll fight full-on choppers in The Division 2, but we can at least take down helicopter drones and reminisce about the old days.
The open beta starts March 1
Ubisoft already announced this a few weeks ago, but tell your friends: The Division 2 beta opens up from March 1 to March 4. No need to pre-order or register for a spot ahead of time. The full game will follow shortly after on March 15.

'F— School' How a Cheerleader's Snapchat Rant Went to the Supreme Court and its Impact on Schools Going Forward
By Christian Nolan
It reads like the plot of Mean Girls or Ferris Bueller's Day Off or The Breakfast Club. Only this time around, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy would have to be cast as the teens' mothers.
"The facts of this case have all the elements of a teen movie. That's what I really like about this case," said Candace Gomez, co-chair of Bond, Schoeneck & King's school law practice. "What do we have? We've got to have a mean high school student who's angry about something in the school environment, who's bordering on the edge of maybe being a bully, and then we've got some people that are subject to this bullying. So, this is our next summer blockbuster here."
The real-life plot goes like this: Brandi Levy was a junior varsity cheerleader at Mahanoy Area High School, in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill County, Pa. During her sophomore year in 2017, she again tried out for the varsity cheerleading team and was again assigned to the JV squad. This time it particularly irritated Levy because a freshman made the varsity team over her.
The next weekend, Levy and a friend, while hanging out at the Cocoa Hut, a convenience store in downtown Mahanoy City, took to Snapchat to vent about the unfairness of it all.
In her first post to her 200-plus followers on Snapchat, she held out her middle fingers with the caption: "F… School F… softball F… cheer F… everything." In a follow-up post, she said, "Love how me and [another student] get told we need a year of jv before we make varsity but tha[t] doesn't matter to anyone else?" The caption also contained an upside-down smiley-face emoji.
School officials learned of the post and suspended her from the JV cheerleading team for the upcoming year. Their rationale was that the post and caption violated team and school rules, namely: respect for school, coaches and others; avoiding foul language and inappropriate gestures; refraining from negative information regarding cheerleading on the internet and the requirement that students "conduct themselves in such a way that the image of the Mahanoy School District would not be tarnished in any manner."
What happened next was a lawsuit that made it all the way to the highest court in the country, the implications of which are still being analyzed as a new school year begins this fall.
School law experts recently addressed the history of student speech, the specifics of the Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. case, and the practical effects this new precedent will have on school practices in New York.
"[S]tudents need to be permitted to try out their voices, to speak and even say dumb and obnoxious things. But they also need to be governed and taught," said Seth Gilbertson, associate counsel for the State University of New York's Office of University Counsel. "Sometimes they even need to be taught that the things they say are dumb and obnoxious."
Gilbertson, who recently served as the moderator on a New York State Bar Association CLE webinar entitled "Regulation of Student (and Cheerleader) Speech: 'F— School'? SCOTUS Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L." added: "And then came the internet."
Disruption Standard
Before we can get to the ending of Levy's saga, we must first go back to 1965, when a group of students in Des Moines, Iowa, went to school wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War and in support of a proposed "Christmas truce." This set off a constitutional debate commonly referred to as the "Tinker case" (Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District) regarding the regulation of student speech by school administrators that was ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The students who wore the black armbands were suspended. The school board a few days later voted 5-4 to maintain the ban and not to reinstate the students.
Robert Ruggeri, senior managing counsel for the State University of New York, explained that the district court upheld the prohibition on the armbands.
"The court acknowledged that wearing the armband is 'a symbolic act' protected as speech under the First Amendment," said Ruggeri. "However, the judge determined the school district's 'concern for the disciplined atmosphere of the classroom' outweighed the students' free speech rights."
While the district court's ruling was based on the school's "fear of a disturbance from the wearing of the armbands," the Supreme Court had a different take. The decision included the famous line that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
Ruggeri said the Supreme Court ruling determined that the Tinker students caused "discussion outside of the classrooms, but…no disorder." The majority opinion ruled that the school didn't have reason to anticipate substantial interference with the work of the school or rights of other students. However, the Tinker decision doesn't require school officials to wait for a disruption to occur.
Ruggeri noted that it cannot be an "undifferentiated fear of a disturbance" but rather a reasonable fear of a disturbance. The main test of Tinker is the "substantial disruption" test but the speech also cannot interfere with the rights of other students.
Subsequent cases have also mapped out exceptions for permissible regulation of student speech in schools, such as disciplining students for on-campus speech considered vulgar or promoting drug use, but new questions have arisen in the digital age regarding schools' ability to regulate student speech that occurs off-campus.
So the Mahanoy case hinged on whether Tinker, which holds that public school officials may regulate student speech that would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school, applies to student speech that occurs off-campus.
Levy, in her lawsuit, argued that her suspension from the team violated the First Amendment and that the school and team rules she allegedly violated are overbroad, their viewpoint discriminatory; and unconstitutionally vague.
"The Third Circuit Court held that Tinker does not apply to off‐campus speech – that is, speech that is outside school‐owned, operated, or supervised channels and that is not reasonably interpreted as bearing the school's imprimatur," said Gomez. "Because [Levy]'s speech took place off campus, the panel concluded that the Tinker standard did not apply, and the school consequently could not discipline [Levy] for engaging in a form of pure speech."
The Supreme Court, in its ruling June 23, upheld the Third Circuit's decision that Levy's First Amendment rights were violated, but noted that, "Unlike the Third Circuit, we do not believe the special characteristics that give schools additional license to regulate student speech always disappear when a school regulates speech that takes place off campus. The school's regulatory interests remain significant in some off-campus circumstances."
Jay Worona, deputy executive director and general counsel of the New York State School Boards Association, said the familiar 1969 Tinker standard remains intact – speech causing substantial disruption or a reasonable forecast thereof, or interfering with the rights of others, is not protected. But, he said, mere criticism of school programs or policies, vulgar venting without disruption or targeting of harm to an individual may not be enough.
Worona noted that threats, bullying and harassment, or even giving out the answers to a test online, if it occurs off school grounds, may be addressed by administrators as long as it impacts the school community.
"You know in this day and age the major way that people are bulled is on the internet…," said Worona. "… If we weren't able to protect schools with those particular exceptions, I'm not exactly sure how we'd manage to protect students any longer."

So they added extra valor points to dungeons based on the time it takes to do them. Pretty clever. Those three dungeons take significantly longer to finish than the other 6.
Also, who else is completely confused by the description of the new "Spritual Healing" priest ability?
I can't wrap my mind around that description, but then again, I am not a native speaker.
Thanks for the explanation, lankybrit. I think Blizzard should start proof-reading their patch notes.
It's a slight buff for shadow healing based on the last ptr patch, but still 20% less healing than on live currently. Disc and holy shouldn't see any change from live.
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure its a 20% nerf to those spells from level 1. Holy and disc recieve a 25% buff after level 10 to bring them back to 100% of current healing. 100%-20%=80%, 80%+(25%of80%)=100%.
Ahhh so you're saying that the note on the no change in Disc and Holy for those spells is overall, not just saying that they don't get the 20% nerf?
I see. So Priest heals have been nerfed by 20%, making them 4\/5 of what they were, and they buffed the Disc and Holy's heals by 25%, making them 5\/4 of the new normal. 5\/4 x 4\/5 = 100%, so no net change for the healing specs, and a 20% nerf for shadow.
I didn't hear anything about this before. What's the deal behind this? Does it have something to do with the length or difficulty of these dungeons?
Completing the Scenarios: Brewmoon Festival, The Jade Forest, A Little Patience, and Dustwallow Marsh will award 5 additional Valor Points.
Whoa. Feels like the Oculus thing all over again.
Could that be anymore vague... So does this mean my Eternal Strider once killed in battle I'll never have it again?
There is currently a glitch; if you kill a wild battle pet in a battle against more than one wild pet, but then log out\/Alt+F4 etc. before you kill all of them, the killed battle pet will return, giving you another chance at capturing it.
Does any one know whether Glyph of Drain Life for walocks and Harvest Life ability will stack?
So, more valor to spend on nothing if you haven't got the rep. Awesome!
I wish they would fix the Dancing Water Skimmer issue for All the Squirrels.
What the hell are they doing with warriors? Not happy.
I wonder, does this mean you can grind rep for two factions at a time with one dungeon run? Or does this bonus rep override the rep you'd normally gain through championing with an equipped tabard? The use of the word 'championing' gets me a bit confused, since it's also used for rep-gaining tabards.
Now the question for mages is: go with Flameglow or stick to Ice Barrier...?
So, no more vanish for druids, I read it right?
It is just their way of nerfing shadowpriest healing without affecting holy or disc.


make them thin enough to efficiently cool with out adding more weight.
If you haven't already tried a petrol engine now you can buy with confidence.
The idea replacement for your 60 - 91 glow engine with the same sized case and mountings.
The GT-22 is conveniently sized engine will do the job of a .91 2 stroke or 1.20 4 stroke glow engine.
The GF30 is second four stroke petrol from OS and will be the first choice for models designed for 120-150 glow engines or 20cc two stroke petrol engines.
GT-33 is in a class of its own.Like the GT22 it has the rear mounted Walbro carb with reed valve induction and almost bullet proof CDI ignition. It has the muscle to swing larger props, and it stands out for many other reasons, too. The GT-33 runs more quietly than comparable engines while exceeding their output.
This the first four stroke Petrol from OS engines. It dose exactly as it says, you get the benefits of a petrol; economy, reliable tick over and cleanliness in a four stroke.
The new GT60 is the largest in the range of O.S. Petrol Engines and perfect for 50 size instalations. It features liner-less cylinder this contributes to better cooling and lighter weight. It employs the reed valve/rear carburetor system which has high performance. A great power source for big scale and aerobatic models.

FCV Position Statement on SB10 and Protecting Water & Land Resources
Florida Conservation Voters Announces Top Three Priorities Heading into 2017 Florida Legislative Session
Get Involved: The Constitutional Revision Commission Process
Published by Aliki Moncrief at March 16, 2017
(Please note, the below position statement is in reference to a version of SB10 from 2017 that was significantly changed after we created this post. We are leaving it up for posterity.)
In Florida, preserving land is conserving water. Wetlands are nature's water storage systems and act as pollution filters. It's also far less expensive to buy land or conservation easements on undeveloped lands that protect our water resources than it is to restore polluted waterways or build water treatment plants.
Protecting the natural flow of water through the Florida peninsula from the surface to our underground aquifers through land conservation is a foundational goal of our land conservation policies, and should be at the core of Florida's water policy. Acquiring lands that protect water resources and drinking water sources, including those that protect the quality and quantity of water for our rivers, lakes, streams, springs, and aquifer systems is an effective and economical way to ensure our residents and millions of tourists will have ample water supplies in the future.
We agree that conserving and protecting water in Florida is a high priority. The debate currently taking place this legislative session about the best use of Florida's conservation dollars boils down to the balance we strike between natural, conservation-based solutions (e.g. protecting lands important to water resources) and engineered, technology-based solutions (e.g. constructing reservoirs and replenishing aquifers).
In the case of the Everglades, where the ecosystem has been so altered that buying land is no longer enough to achieve restoration goals, engineered solutions are necessary and inevitable to protect our water resources. For the rest of Florida, acquiring and protecting conservation lands that are already doing the job of protecting our water resources remains an important and effective tool. We must not abandon our land conservation policies that have been so successful and have proven that acquiring and conserving land does protect our waters.
Outside of the Everglades, Florida Conservation Voters maintains that the Land Acquisition Trust Fund (LATF) monies set aside by the Water and Land Conservation Amendment (Amendment 1 in 2014) should be spent first on conservation-based solutions, namely acquiring and protecting "lands that protect water resources and drinking water sources."
Senate President Joe Negron has shown great leadership by proposing a plan to expedite the construction of a reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee, as expressed in Senate Bill 10 sponsored by Senator Rob Bradley. However, the strike-all amendment filed on the first day of the 2017 legislative session drastically expands the scope of the original plan beyond providing more water storage around Lake Okeechobee.
Senate Bill 10 now proposes an extreme shift away from land acquisition and conservation-based solutions to protecting our water resources, contrary to the intent of the Water and Land Conservation Amendment. If passed, Senate Bill 10 bill would fundamentally reduce, if not eliminate, funding available for land conservation in Florida. Therefore, FCV opposes Senate Bill 10 in its current form.
FCV's 2017 Priorities for Water and Land Conservation:
Honor the intent of the Water and Land Conservation Amendment (Article 10, Section 28) by statutorily dedicating at least twenty-five percent of the Land Acquisition Trust Funds to the Florida Forever and Florida Communities Trust programs to expedite the purchase of ecologically sensitive lands.
With regard to the Everglades:
Increase water storage capacity around Lake Okeechobee;
Expedite the construction of a reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee.

Takeover Tuesday Playlist: Karol G Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month With Her Favorite Latin Jams
By Jun Chen On 11 September 2018
Welcome back to Takeover Tuesday, where each week, Billboard taps chart-topping artists and taste-makers to compile their very own playlist exclusive to Billboard's Spotify account. We give the artists free reign to base the list on whatever subject they choose. The only rule? Make it as creative and unique to them as possible.
With hits such as "Mi Cama" making the rounds on the Billboard Latin charts, there's no denying that Karol G is one the Latina women currently dominating the Latin urban scene.
Karol showed her potential with her debut studio album, Unstoppable, which debuted at No. 2 on the Top Latin Albums chart last November. But the 27-year-old has since proven she's a Latin mainstay: Currently, Karol G sits at No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart thanks to her remix on Luis Fonsi's "Calypso" (chart dated Sept. 15). She's following that up with another big collaboration on Friday (Sept. 14), teaming up with Anuel Aa for a track called "Culpable."
Ahead her new release and the launch Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 15, the Colombian songstress shared 10 songs that highlight Latin urban stars from her home country and beyond. "These are my favorite tunes at the moment," Karol tells Billboard. "Talent from all over the world, as well as talent from different Latin American countries. A perfect playlist to celebrate Hispanic Heritage."
Karol's playlist — which she titled "My Latina Jams" — includes songs from fellow female rising stars Anitta ("Downtown") and Natti Natasha ("Buena Vida"), her compatriot Manuel Turizo ("Culpables") and party-starting jams such as Ozuna's "Vaina Loca" and Anuel AA's "Quiero Beber." But it wouldn't be a fair Hispanic Heritage celebration without Karol G herself, so she also included her own sultry hit, "Pineapple."
Take a listen to Karol G's Takeover Tuesday playlist below.

The acting legend, Sir Ian McKellen who was featured in our Twitter Powerlist for actors, was asked by CNN what he thought of Donald Trump and his legacy of being a TV star. Well, McKellen didn't hold back and showed, some incredible insight into the President's controversial use of Twitter.
In the wide-ranging interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, actor Sir Ian McKellen discussed his activism in the LGBT community, his views of President Trump and being named for a knighthood by Margaret Thatcher – one of her last acts as Prime Minister.

Covid data will be completely deleted as it is 'no longer needed'
The numbers are up but public numbers on the spread of Covid-19 will no longer be released (Picture: Bloomberg/Getty)
The UK will stop releasing Covid-19 modeling data altogether as it is "no longer needed".
Publicly available metrics like the R number will be phased out altogether from the end of next month.
Regular updates on coronavirus measures became a regular feature during the height of the pandemic, but have been increasingly sporadic in recent months.
The growth rate has been updated once a week and has been adjusted fortnightly since April this year.
It was first released in May 2020 for the whole of the UK, until April 2021 when it was released for England only.
The UKHSA's Epidemiological Modeling Review Group (EMRG) said that after detailed review, the next release of its consensus statement on Covid-19 on January 6 "will be its last".
Officials said the rollout of the vaccine and the success of new therapies meant there was no longer a need to collate the numbers.
Dr Nick Watkins, Chairman of the EMRG, said: "During the pandemic, R-value and growth rate have served as a useful and simple indicator to inform public health action and government decisions.
The number of people in hospital with Covid-19 is higher now than at any time this winter (Picture: AFP)
"Now that vaccines and therapeutics have allowed us to move into a phase where we are living with Covid-19, with reduced surveillance but still closely monitored across a number of different indicators, the release of this specific data n is no longer necessary.
"We continue to monitor Covid-19 activity in the same way that we monitor a number of other common illnesses and diseases.
"All data releases are under constant review and this modeling data can be reintroduced quickly if necessary, for example, if a new variant of concern were to be identified."
He said Covid-19 incidence data will continue to be accessible from the Office for National Statistics Infections Survey.
A total of 1.4 million people in private households in the UK were likely to test positive for coronavirus in the week to December 9.
The number of people in hospital in England who tested positive for Covid-19 stood at 8,643 on December 21, up 29% week-on-week and the highest total since late October.

Emerging Paradigms in International Entrepreneurship identifies key themes that collectively demonstrate the convergence of thinking at the interface between the disciplines of international business and entrepreneurship. These are: development of the field and the effects of international entrepreneurship on a new economy; conceptual and paradigmatic developments; international entrepreneurship and the internet as a developing research agenda; contacts links and networks as process driven internationalisation; cross-sectoral, cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of entrepreneurship; and the experiential emphasis in entrepreneurial internationalisation.

Jaarreedd had the most liked content!
Excellent questions! The desire is to take groups of people to events to spectate or volunteer - volunteering is the goal but not everyone is ready to dive into that right away, although the spectating experience you get from volunteering at a station is incredible. A group of us will be organizing an official event to head down to Ojibwe Forests Rally 2018 this year in August - it is an incredible event and the VIP spectator experience is second to none. It will get everyone hooked right away And yes, we will be hosting a rallycross event this year, and working towards Stage Rally in Manitoba.
Great poster, but please correct my name!


March 4, 2011 – With a new focus on reaching creative, flavor-seeking home cooks who already prepare, eat and love pork, the National Pork Board today announced a new branding position celebrating pork's ability to offer a wide range of options in the kitchen. With PORK® now as the brand, the new campaign of: Pork® Be inspiredsm shows pork's place in almost any menu, day part, cuisine and lifestyle, based on pork's unique combination of flavor and versatility as the source of kitchen inspiration.
The new, fully integrated campaign features an updated look and feel, along with a new consumer target: the more than 82 million Americans who already cook, eat and love pork. Moving from a functional to a more emotional positioning, the campaign voice is proud, energetic, approachable and unapologetically optimistic about the unique attributes of the world's most popular protein.
Evoking the taste of backyard barbeques, new and attainable flavor combinations or mid-week meals on the go, the bold product imagery celebrates one juicy, tender, flavorful pork meal after another.
The new campaign rolls out this March and April, and includes national advertising, public relations, social media, retail and foodservice marketing, as well as activation by state pork associations. Enthusiastic about this renewed approach, 2011 advertising media spending has more than doubled that of recent years. All elements will showcase inspiring new ways to enjoy pork more frequently, with a range of meal and menu options, Snyder said.
Represents approximately 28 percent of U.S. households but accounts for roughly 68 percent of all in-home fresh pork consumption and 50 percent of all away-from-home fresh pork consumption.
Enjoys cooking and experimenting with new flavors in the kitchen, understands how to cook pork, and in general looks at life with a positive outlook.
Nearly 25 years ago, the Pork® The Other White Meat® campaign was conceived to reposition pork as a healthful protein source. Today, Pork Be inspired goes beyond basic cooking education and health to promote a deeper, more personal level of engagement with existing pork consumers, Snyder said. However, The Other White Meat campaign will play a role as a heritage brand, with use on the consumer web site and in nutrition communications. The Other White Meat campaign will not be featured in advertising.
Digital advertising starts March 7 with paid search and web sites that reach the National Pork Board's new target, with creative directing to a new website URL, www.PorkBeInspired.com. Starting April 11, national television advertising includes both network and cable. Print advertising begins in April in food and lifestyle publications, using a unique three-page, consecutive right-hand pages to communicate pork's ability to inspire numerous meal ideas.

Hamilton se réclamait héritier par son épouse, Elizabeth Gerard, petite-fille de Charles Gerard, premier comte de Macclesfield, tandis que Mohun était l'héritier nommé de son ami Charles Gerard, second comte de Macclesfield. Le , les deux hommes se disputèrent un célèbre duel à Hyde Park, décrit dans L'Histoire de Henry Esmond de Thackeray et dans Anecdotes of the Aristocracy de Bernard Burke .
