Poweshiek skipperlings are blinking out fast. Since they only live in native prairies that have never been plowed, one might not find this too surprising. But until very recently, Poweshiek skipperlings were the most frequently and reliably encountered prairie-obligate skipper in Minnesota (Dana 2008).Yet, between 2003 and 2015, surveyors observed an abrupt and rapid decline as population after population was lost. Even in Minnesota and South Dakota - once considered the species' stronghold, all were lost. Surveyors can no longer find Poweshiek skipperlings at nearly 300 previously known locations. The skipperling appears to survive only in very low numbers at one site in Wisconsin, one location in Manitoba and a few prairie fens in a single Michigan county. Today there are far fewer Poweshiek skipperlings in the world than there are wild giant pandas.
Prairie loss and degradation led to the initial decline of Poweshiek skipperlings, but causes of the recent sharp decline remain a mystery. We suspect several threats may be responsible, such as an unknown disease or parasite, climate change or use of pesticides. Research has begun in an effort to narrow down the cause or causes of the decline.
We listed the Poweshiek skipperling as endangered in 2014, so recovery is in its infancy. Because of the very limited populations that remain, we believe both off-site conservation strategies (strategies not conducted in habitat where the butterfly is currently found) and on-site management and research are needed immediately to prevent extinction. We participated in a workshop in October 2015 facilitated by the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group at the Minnesota Zoo, part of the Species Survival Commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with a 30-year history of worldwide threatened species conservation efforts. The group has guided challenging conservation planning for other critically imperiled species such as the Indian rhino, the giant panda and the Hainan gibbon.
The workshop group recommended that a head-start program for the Poweshiek skipperling begin in 2016 using eggs from two wild populations in Michigan. Staff from the Minnesota Zoo will collect eggs from a portion of adult females observed during the flight period. The adult butterflies then will be released back to the capture site within 48-72 hours, where they can continue laying eggs in the wild. The collected eggs will be reared over the winter at the Minnesota Zoo, and then released in spring 2017 as late-instar larvae or pupae back at the egg collection site in Michigan. The idea behind a head-start program is that captive-reared eggs will have a much higher rate of survival than the very low survival rate expected in the wild. In the future, if large numbers of larvae survive the head-start program, it will trigger a decision whether to reintroduce those larvae to extirpated sites and if an insurance program is needed.
While carrying out the head-start program, research on captive breeding and husbandry techniques will be conducted using a species closely related to Poweshieks (i.e., surrogate species research). If the surrogate research is successful, a long-term insurance program may be created using captive-reared individuals. Additional research will occur at current and extirpated Poweshiek sites to determine suitability for future reintroductions.
We hope the head-start program will add to existing populations and that simultaneous research on captive rearing methods will provide for future reintroductions. Through these programs and strategies, our ultimate goal is to bolster existing populations and restore populations that have been lost. The existence of the Poweshiek skipperling depends on it.

Q: orderby in WP_QUERY - Use the order from the Dashboard I'm using the Anything Order Plugin to order custom post types in my dashboard.
For a wp_query, I'd like the output to order the posts in the same order as I have them in the dashboard.
What would I use for the "orderby" parameter?

A: Figured this out.
'order' => 'ASC' (or DESC - however you'd like) and 'orderby' => 'menu_order' solves this.

Hans Olav Lahlum, Menneskefluene (Human Flies (2010))
Norway was neutral during the Second World War, but was invaded by Germany on 9 April 1940 and occupied by the Wehrmach until 8 May 1945. About a third of the Jewish population was deported to the camps in German, whilst others fled into exile. Some Norwegians signed up to fight for the Nazis — mostly on the Eastern front — but there was also a resistance movement. This left a bitter legacy for Norway, some of which formed back stories for the Harry Hole novels of Jo Nesbø, all of which I have now read.
So, whilst there are non-series novels to be read, I found a copy of Lahlum's Human Flies, a locked-room mystery set in 1968. Harald Olesen, a hero of the resistance, is found shot dead in his flat in an apartment building, but no one has seen anybody leave his front door. It is up to Detective Inspector Kolbjørn Kristiansen to investigate and the building is full of secrets — a former Nazi, an American ambassadorial official, people orphaned by the war, those having affairs… K2 (as the detective is known) is aided in this investigation by Patricia, a beautiful and intelligent woman confined to a wheelchair.
Lahlum is a historian by training and it turns out a relative (a great great aunt?) was Dagmar Lahlum, an Oslo member of the Norwegian resistance recruited by Eddie Chapman to work for MI5 — his exploits were recounted in several biographies, including Nicholas Booth's Zigzag – The Incredible Wartime Exploits of Double Agent Eddie Chapman (2007) and Ben Macintyre's Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman, Lover, Betrayer, Hero, Spy (2007). This clearly had an impact on the novel — of the relationship forged in the war and lost in peace time.
And yet I don't think I can recommend this. I've not read enough Agatha Christie to make the comparison — but there's a series of one-to-one interviews, a couple of points where the suspects are gathered together ("I suppose you are wondering why I gathered you all here together…")… It, frankly, drags. The first person narration doesn't help and the nods to historic events seem perfunctory. Perhaps in 1968 a policeman could work alone and share information with a civilian without trouble, but it's a novel that feels set in the 1930s rather than the 1960s.

Jeremiah Productions, Inc., in association with the Shaker Heritage Society, announces the opening of "Second Coming – The Character and Ministry of Mother Ann Lee of the United Society of Believers (Commonly Called Shakers)," on Friday, July 15th at 7:30 pm. This new play-with-music, written and directed by local playwright Bruce Cornwell, will run for two weekends at the Shaker Meeting House at the Shaker Heritage Society, 25 Meeting House Road in Colonie. Malcolm Kogut is the production's musical director and Cathie Gifford is the choreographer
The play tells the story of Ann Lee one of the most influential female religious figures in western culture. She and a small band of followers arrived in the American Colonies in 1774 and founded the first Shaker community in what is now the town of Colonie, New York. The Shaker religious sect eventually grew to have thousands of followers and became America's most important and successful utopian community with settlements established as far west as Kentucky. The Shakers, whose worship was characterized by wild shaking, impassioned singing, dancing, and speaking in tongues, believed Ann to be the female embodiment of Christ. The musical score consists entirely of hymns and songs written by Shaker believers.
This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Arts Center of the Capital Region.
The 2016 performance run has concluded. Thank you to all who attended and supported this production.
More performances may be announced in the future.

South Dakota's Meth Awareness Campaign Sounds Pretty Pro-Meth
As a public-awareness campaign, it definitely grabs your attention.
By Luke Darby
Methamphetamine is a major problem in South Dakota. The Argus Leader of Sioux Falls reports that 83 percent of the state's court admissions for controlled substances were meth-related. Teenagers in South Dakota report meth use at twice the national average, and state lawmakers have been weighing all kinds of options to help better connect people to funding and resources, even reworking the state's drug courts. But the problem is only getting worse.
On Monday, Kristi Noem, the state's Republican governor, unveiled a campaign to raise awareness about how widespread a problem meth had become. "This is our problem, and together we need to get on it," Noem said in a video statement. The website the state launched to promote drug services has a similar tagline, "Meth addiction is everybody's problem." The website, however, has a rather unfortunate URL: OnMeth.com.
It turns out that's actually the motto for the whole campaign. South Dakota rolled out commercials, social-media ads, and billboards featuring people of various ages and in different settings, all with the phrase "I'm on meth" superimposed over them. That's probably meant to be a provocative turn of phrase, on that relies on the double entendre of "I'm on it." But a lot of people can't get past the phrasing.
https://twitter.com/roywoodjr/status/1196574108638760960
By Tuesday, both "meth" and "South Dakota" were trending on Twitter. Some users proposed alternate awareness campaigns, like "Heroin: We're Up in Arms." Noem took to Twitter herself to defend the campaign, stressing that the point was to raise public awareness.
https://twitter.com/govkristinoem/status/1196553520201248768
The governor's earnest and serious statements are undercut by the campaign itself. Bill Pearce, assistant dean at the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business, told The Washington Post, "I can't imagine this is what they intended to do; any good marketer would look at this and say: 'Yeah, let's not do that.' I'm sure South Dakota residents don't like being laughed at. That's what's happening right now."
According to the Argus Leader, the state paid $448,914 to Broadhead, a Minneapolis-based ad agency, to come up with the campaign. In a proposal, Broadhead wrote that it hoped the "I'm on Meth" tagline would create "a movement for all South Dakotans to take an active role in keeping their state a great place to live."
While the slogan may be in poor taste, as far as public awareness goes, well, consider it raised.

Port saves 4th of July Fireworks
By: Mark Brennan/Siuslaw News - Updated: 2 months ago
Camping spots to be used to stage display
May 4, 2019 — Florence's Fourth of July Fireworks celebration will take place as originally planned, due to a major effort made by the Port of Siuslaw and Port Manager David Huntington.
Florence Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bettina Hannigan said she is extremely pleased that a solution to the logistical problems surrounding this years' celebration has been reached.
"It is my great pleasure to announce that the Port of Siuslaw is now the home of the 2019 Fireworks Launch!" Hannigan announced. "Without a barge the chamber was at a loss for how to provide fireworks this year. With heartfelt thanks to the Port of Siuslaw, Florence is now a go for our amazing fireworks program on July 4. David Huntington and his team have not only made it happen, they've saved the day."
This year's fireworks display on the Siuslaw River was in serious jeopardy due to the lack of a suitable, legal location from which to launch the Independence Day pyrotechnics. The barge that had been used for this purpose the past two years has been sold and relocated.
Huntington has been working with Hannigan to craft some type of solution for the logistical problems that were threatening the display.
"It didn't look like, with the barge leaving, the fireworks were going to happen at all," Huntington said. "Bettina and I have been keeping in contact during the past couple of weeks and we offered up the spare docks we have here at the port if there was any they could use them."
Unfortunately, the prospect of having necessary modifications made to the docks and have them inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard in time for the celebration was unlikely to occur, so Huntington pursued other options.
"We made the decision yesterday to ask our campers if they would be willing to move, because our only option is to open up the C-Row to stage the fireworks," Huntington said. "It went well, as I think most people were understanding. The way it was looking, if we couldn't get our customers from C-Row to agree to move, the fireworks were not going to happen at all this year."
The decision to speak with campers with booked reservations came from a staff meeting Huntington held to discuss possible solutions for what was turning into a serious concern about the fireworks happening at all.
"This is something we discussed as a staff because it puts a lot of extra work on them," Huntington said. "I'm not the one making the calls — and the idea to move everyone to the parking lot was actually Kelly's idea, and that was what really made this possible."
Now that the fireworks display is moving ahead, there are still opportunities for businesses and individuals to support the event, Hannigan said.
"I have delayed fundraising for the fireworks because I wasn't sure we were a go. Now that we are, I'm playing catch up," she said. "We have a fantastic Fireworks Sponsor Package available and we are also receiving contributions here. The fireworks cost the chamber over $17,000 and we depend on chamber members and our community to help financially support this wonderful tradition. Please join with us so we can continue to kick of the summer season with a bang!"

Simon & Garfunkel Postpone Canadian Tour "Indefinitely"
By Stephen Carlick
Canadian fans of Simon & Garfunkel were thrilled to hear, after rumours of North American live dates, that the easygoing '60s troubadours were set to play a full-on Canadian tour in May. Now, after having those dates pushed back to July, a message on the duo's official website has revealed that the tour dates have been "postponed indefinitely."
As Billboard points out, Art Garfunkel has not yet recovered from vocal paresis, a serious condition that affects the vocal chords, and have been forced to cancel all scheduled dates for this summer, including their stops in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.
Simon & Garfunkel issued the following statement:
The Simon & Garfunkel tour that had been set for July has now been postponed indefinitely. The tour, originally set for April and then rescheduled for July, is now on hold as Art Garfunkel continues to recover from a vocal paresis. According to his doctors, Art is expected to make a full recovery, however they cannot predict an exact timeline. This condition (paresis) inhibits the duo from performing shows at the highest possible level and it is for that reason and out of respect for their fans that Paul and Art have decided to put the tour on hold.
Simon & Garfunkel regret any inconvenience this has caused their fans and are looking forward to rescheduling the dates when Art fully recovers. Art says, "I do feel bad about disrupting so many people's plans but, as I continue to mend, I can't yet bring my 'A Game' to a tour, and I would not perform for you with anything less."
Tickets can be refunded at the place of purchase.

The first volt of electricity ends and your heart either stops or keeps going (this is why the physician on duty checks for a pulse).
If there is still a pulse, they throw it back on, and your vital organs will be destroyed by that jolt of electricity.
No pain..
In an execution by electrocution, the condemned is strapped into a wooden chair and has electrodes placed on his legs and head. Electricity is then sent through the body. In theory, the first jolt is supposed to bring about unconsciousness; the second is supposed to damage the vital organs and cause death.
A brain of an inmate being executed is not able to control his muscles. So then inmates can urinate and so on. That's the reason why they wear a diaper during execution like a prevention.
In the United States, prisoners may wait many years before execution can be carried out due to the complex and time-consuming appeals procedures mandated in the jurisdiction. … Nearly a quarter of inmates on death row in the U.S. die of natural causes while awaiting execution.
The head was shaved to attach electrodes directly to the scalp, which is more conductive. … Not shaving the head could cause the electrocution to take longer, or may result in the hair catching fire, both of which compound the brutality of this method of execution, and are distressing to witnesses.
Lethal injection is the practice of injecting one or more drugs into a person (typically a barbiturate, paralytic, and potassium solution) for the express purpose of causing rapid death. … Lethal injection was also used in the Philippines until the country re-abolished the death penalty in 2006.
Utah brought back the firing squad this week as a backup execution method, with some proponents saying it's the fastest and most humane way of killing condemned inmates in an era when lethal injections have dragged on as long as two hours.
Present-day use A number of states still allow the condemned person to choose between electrocution and lethal injection, with the most recent electrocution taking place in February 2020. After 1966, electrocutions ceased for a time in the United States, but the method continued in the Philippines.
Dunn (2017): "In addition to being near instant, death by shooting may also be comparatively painless. […] And historically, the firing squad has yielded significantly fewer botched executions."
Willie Francis (January 12, 1929 – May 9, 1947) is best known for surviving a failed execution by electrocution in the United States. … He was 17 when he survived the first attempt to execute him, as the chair malfunctioned.
Large wet sponges were placed between the metal contacts and Daryl's' skin so as to assure that the electricity had as little resistance as possible. The guards sopped up the excess salt water on the floor and put the wet towels into a bucket.
A prison cemetery is a graveyard reserved for the dead bodies of prisoners. Generally, the remains of inmates who are not claimed by family or friends are interred in prison cemeteries and include convicts executed for capital crimes.
It is considered to be an act of torture when its primary purpose is sensory deprivation during interrogation; it causes "disorientation, isolation, and dread." According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, hooding is used to prevent people from seeing and to disorient them, and also to prevent them from …
But, most importantly, the hood protects the executioners, the torturers, the perpetrators from the physical and psychological pain they are inflicting on other people. Its main function is to blind, but in doing so it antiseptically blots out the final proof of the horror of punishment, torture, and execution.
In order to allow families of executed prisoners to make a single trip to Huntsville instead of two separate trips, the burial of an executed prisoner not claimed by the family is usually done the day after his or her execution. … On many occasions, the prisoner's relatives do not attend the funeral.

Any ideas?

A: With such build.sbt
scalaVersion := "2.11.11"
libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor" % "2.5.3"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "2.2.0"

both HelloWorld in Akka and WordCount in Spark work fine.
Akka can work with 2.10-2.12, but Spark with 2.10-2.11. It's hard to say more without code samples and build.sbt.

2015 WJC Team Canada Preview w/@NHLDraftTalk
@NHLDraftTalk is going to set up the roster for Team Canada Head Coach Benoit Groulx. He's got some interesting line combinations that are worth debate!
**Note: Curtis Lazar has been loaded to Team Canada by the Ottawa Senators and will participate at the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championships but this post was written before the Lazar news was released.**
With less than two weeks until the World Junior Championship begins, Benoit Groulx and Co. still have a lot of tough decisions to make. There's still one round of cuts remaining, and following these cuts the coaching staff have to decide on line combinations. It seems as though constructing the lines will be a more tantalizing task than the cuts them self. Having 12 skaters who could all play on the top line isn't usually a problem, however finding out who will work well with one another could be quite the venture. Luckily for Coach Groulx, I'm here to solve this problem.
The Forwards
Petan - McDavid - Duclair
A dynamic offensive group. McDavid will produce with whoever he is with, but Petan and Duclair on his wings could mean bad news for whoever they go up against. Petan is an elite set up man who has proven to be very good in big games. Duclair's skating ability alone sets him apart from the other wingers. If these three were grouped together, the offense they could generate would be absolutely terrifying.
Domi - Reinhart - Virtanen
Another group of dynamic forwards, however Domi and Virtanen play with a bit more of an edge. Domi and Reinhart are easily top 6 forwards, however there are a ton of players who could fit on the right wing. Virtanen gets the nod from me because of his finishing ability and complete 200 foot game. If they struggle out of the gate, Robby Fabbri would be the next to get a shot on the second line.
Dal Colle - Fabbri - Chartier
An interesting mix of offense first players. All three guys play with a 'shoot first' mentality and they should be able to generate a large number of scoring chances. Fabbri is a player who could easily move into the top 6 as his offensive instincts are superb. Chartier is likely a surprise here, but after a superb start to the year he has proven he can be a contributor. Dal Colle is another player in the running for a top 6 spot. His ability to shoot the puck and play both ends of the ice make him an intriguing player.
Dickinson - Gauthier - Crouse
A defensively responsible group of forwards who would see a great deal of time in defensive zone situations. Dickinson has been impressive through camp, and many suggest he is a lock. Gauthier plays a powerful game, and though he may not be a defensive dynamo, he is solid in his own end. Crouse has the ability to shut down top end players, and his play without the puck is almost better than when he has the puck.
The Defence
Morrissey - Bowey
The soon to be Kelowna Rockets top defensive pairing is an easy choice as the top 2 at the WJC. Both play a creative offensive game, yet are both defensively responsible. Morrissey will likely be a tournament leader in terms of points by a defenceman. Bowey came in as a bit of a wildcard, but has proven that he's more than capable of playing at this level.
Nurse - Theodore
Nurse plays a very steady, yet aggressive game and his main goal is to get the puck from his zone to the other end. He plays a simple game which would be paired nicely with Theodore who plays a strong two way style. Don't get confused, Theodore is an offense first defenceman, but he maintains strong defensive positioning and is rarely caught out of place.
Morin - Hicketts
With Nurse and Morin on the 2nd and 3rd pairings, the need for a shutdown defenceman like Heatherington isn't exactly necessary. Morin should be dominant in his own end throughout this tournament. Hicketts is an offensive minded defenceman, but like Theodore, he is responsible defensively. That leaves Fleury and Heatherington to battle it out for the 7th spot and it would not surprise me to see Fleury sent back to Red Deer.
Team Canada has the privilege of handpicking the most highly touted players across the CHL, and because of this, they are often considered the tournament favourite. If their high end scorers like McDavid, Duclair, and Reinhart demonstrate their offensive capabilities, it will be a very exciting tournament to watch; however, if scoring throughout the lineup becomes an issue, the team could be in trouble.
The forward squad I organized above places a ton of importance on their ability to find chemistry and generate scoring chances. If they are able to do this, you will likely see them in the gold medal game.
The defensive corp has far fewer question marks around them, but chemistry could still be an issue, as it likely will be with every team. There's a solid amount of offensive minded defenders including Morrissey, Bowey, Theodore, and Hicketts, however all of them are defensively responsible. An intriguing pairing which may see some penalty kill time is Morin alongside Nurse. Their size alone would shutdown a lot of other teams forward group. Bottom line, if the guys can find chemistry and create opportunities amongst one another, a top 3 finish is more than likely.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for a WJC preview coming soon.

I just bought this inexpensive endoscope for $19.99 and see others for $10. I bought one that listed my exact phone so I could avoid a return. It comes with extra tips for straight and angled viewing. It plugs right into the charging plug and requires a small APP to work. Still photos or videos.
I'm sure some fellow readers can use this handy tool.
That's pretty neat. I bought mine off the tool truck many years ago and it's not as versatile as that. Mine was close to 5 bills back then, but that was before Harbor freight and smart phones. Nice find.
I bought a $20 scope from Amazon. I zip tied it to the bottom of my valve spring compressor, it made putting the keepers on pretty easy when I replaced my valves.
I think it's best to leave this up to the doctor to handle.
I thought you were getting ready to do home colonoscopies.
I bought one of these and told my wife it was a home colonoscopy kit since we had just lost our insurance due to a president care.
It at actually works pretty nice. I used it to check and make sure I put the thermostat in the correct way. I worked great in the coolant. The LEDs could be a little brighter, but hey for the price.
I also mounted it in my shoe when a mama bird decided to build her nest in there. I mounted it right in the nest and cold watch the eggs and later the chicks even while the mother bird was sitting on the nest.

NEWS IN THE NUMBERS
French have positive views of both Jews, Muslims
By Neha Sahgal and Bill Webster
Last week's killings in Paris at a kosher market have raised new fears among Jews of growing anti-Semitism in France and elsewhere on the continent. The recent violence, carried out by an Islamic radical apparently linked to a separate attack at the headquarters of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper, also has raised concerns among Europe's Muslim community about reprisal attacks and Islamophobia.
A Pew Research Center survey conducted last year shows that the French held more favorable views of both Jews and Muslims than many other Europeans. Indeed, 89% of French adults held favorable views of Jews, while 72% felt similarly about Muslims.
In nearly every other European country surveyed, majorities rated Jews favorably, including Britain (83%) and Germany (82%). One outlier was Greece, where as many people said they have a favorable view of Jews (47%) as an unfavorable view of them (47%). In addition, roughly one-quarter of the general public had an unfavorable view of Jews in Poland (26%) and Italy (24%).
Positive views of Muslims were also common in Britain (64%) and Germany (58%). But elsewhere, fewer people had a favorable view of Muslims, including roughly a third of the public in both Poland (32%) and in Italy (28%).

This guide mas made so that everyone learns what is new and what is changed on the new Silkroad's Job System, as per a Trader's point of view. I'm not writing about thiefing here, but I will be adding a lot of information especially concerning traders and their hunters.
. How to start jobbing!
The first thing you must do before starting a job now is to decide which one you will be. A trader buys the goods and sells them elsewhere for profit, while the hunters protect them from the NPC Thieves and Player Thieves that might want to take the goods away. Needless to say, those of lower level might prefer being a trader to be protected by the high level hunters, still the choice is yours to make.
When you decide which job you'll act, go to the respective association somewhere in town. That is the Merchant Union for traders and the Hunter Guild for hunters. The Hunter Guild is displayed on the map, while the Merchant Union is close to the Specialities Shop (which in turn is displayed on the map). When you get to the NPC you were looking for, talk to him and chose the option "Join the <job name> union". That should be the second option. From this point on, you cannot change your job easily anymore without suffering heavy penalties that include 7 days with no job and a sum of gold.
After you join the union, you have to create an Alias. That will be the false name that will identify you while you're jobbing. Think a lot on creating one, because after you create it, it's expensive to change it again. Talk to the NPC and chose to "Create an Alias". Type your desired Alias on the small text box and click on "Check for duplicates". In case that name is allowed, the Confirm button will highlight and you can press it. If it isn't allowed, the confirm button will stay gray and you'll have to try another Alias.
After you create your Alias, you're ready for jobbing! All that is left is buying your trader flag or hunter ID. Even if you have one from before the Legend I Update, I suggest you replace it because the new job items have a 1Str or 1Int bonus (not that much but you should use every help you can). When you're done buying it for a mere 10k gold, just equip it to start jobbing!
There are a few rules for equipping job items tough. You can only do it on towns. When you try to equip it, it will take 10 seconds to equip. After you do, you'll be "teleported" to the same town you were at when you equipped (so that your identity is protected, because now you'll be with an Alias). You can't equip the job item if you're on a regular player party, and you can't join regular player party after you equip it as well. You'll be able only to join a party marked as "Trade" on the party match.
To unequip the job item, it's the same process. It takes 10 seconds to unequip, can only be done in towns, you'll be teleported and all and you can't do it while on a "Trade" party. You also cannot unequip if you're with a transport (trade camel and horse) and oddly enought, you cannot unequip if you're riding a racing horse, probably to prevent an earlier bug that you could move while unequiping and make other players murderer.
There you are, you just started your job on Silkroad!
After you're done readying yourself for a job, it's time to get started! Look for other traders and hunters that can/want to join you and organize a caravan. Hunters and traders must be on the same party. Don't try to have more traders than hunters, because NPC Thieves are usually overwhelming, and the less hunters, the harder it is to wear them off the caravan and the more punishment the traders and their transports take.
Traders must chose between a camel and a horse for transporting goods. A camel (or in high levels, an Ox) has high HP and carries more goods than a horse can without changing stars (trade difficulty), but is slow. A Horse has smaller HP and carries less goods, but can run much faster. It's completely up to the traders to chose which transport to use and all should use the same kind of transport to not combine disadvantages.
Traders also should be wary and buy some replacement transport in case it dies on the middle of the trade and you still have a chance on reclaiming the goods. Pet Potions (sold at the stable) are a must to keep the transport alive and keep the caravan running smoothly. A rule a trader soon learns: There are never enought pet potions: Buy the most you can. If you run out of them, you'll have to rely on someone helping you to restock them, and that's not always an option.
The next step is to buy the goods at the Speciality Shop. The Speciality Shop is next to the trader unions on every town and are marked on the map by a small pink bag icon. When you open the speciality shop, you have a few speciality goods to choose from. For now, they're costing the same but that might change on later patches, when it does this guide will probably be updated so. Since it doesn't work yet, you can buy any of the goods and fill up your transport's inventory.
When you buy goods, there will be a small "Trade Difficulty Mark" on the transport's inventory window. That difficulty is marked by colored stars. The more stars, the more goods are loaded and the more NPC thieves will spawn, but also the better is the profit after the trip is over. There are 5 stars, commonly reffered trough at the symbol *.
1* spawns one or two NPC thieves of lower level than the trader.
2* spawns three or four NPC thieves of the same level as the trader.
3* spawns five or six NPC thieves of the same level or higher as the trader.
4* spawns seven or eight NPC thieves of a level higher than the trader.
5* spawns nine or ten NPC thieves of a much higher level than the trader.
The NPC thieves spawn in about every minute. Sometimes on a random occurence the trader might spawn "double", that is, two times the NPCs will show up meaning that a four NPC spawn will become an eight NPC spawn.
After everyone is loaded and packed, it's time to go. Have all the traders move while one of them leads. The leading one should be an experienced trader tough not necessarily the one with the most levels. The hunters should move close and surround the traders guarding them from any thieves that spawn. The traders should try not having to fight, since they are the main target of the thieves. The best would be so that the traders didn't have to dismount the camel at all during the trip, while the hunters alone take care of the NPC thieves.
It's a trader's job only to guide the camel and keep it alive. Should the HP become too low, use Pet Potions on it. You'll probably not need any Pet Pills to remove status ailments because they usually recover fast enought without them.
Should the camel die, all goods and the trader him/herself will be scattered on the ground, forcing the whole caravan to a halt. The trader MUST LEAVE THE PARTY and avoid engaging on combat (either hit or be hit) for 21 seconds, so he/her can ressumon the camel. That 21 second rule comes from the old days, but now it extends to your party members and your hunters probably need to kill everything nearby, you'd best leave the party to ressumon quickly. After the camel is ressumoned, the trader can pick up the scattered goods one by one, and then rejoin the party so the caravan can go on.
Arriving on the destination, all a trader has to do is go to the Speciality Shop and sell the goods there. The longer the distance between the Speciality Shops, the more profit is obtained. The best profit route would be Jangan -> Constantinople, but that's a very long way and also risky. When the trader arrives at the shop, he just have to click the "Sell All" button on the transport's inventory and watch the inventory cash grow. It is also common courtesy to ask the hunters to open their inventories to see their income as well.
. Trade Outposts and Bargain Goods: Where and how?
It is located inside the Bandit Den, a building a bit north of the main central building. Avaiable after level 20.
Quest: Deliver an item to some Gisaeng on Barrom Street of Jangan (near the entrance to the Thief Town), then kill 20 White Tigers.
It is located inside the valley of the main Black Robber Strongold, go down the Southeast path, a small tent. Avaiable after level 30.
Quest: Deliver an item to the Storekeeper on Donwhang (the bulky man that usually speaks nothing) and kill 20 Hyeongcheons.
It is inside a destroyed house in the northern part of the Niya Remains circle. Avaiable after level 60.
Quest: Deliver an item to Sanmok of Hotan and kill 20 Shakrams.
The Silkroad Online site mentions this outpost but I didnt locate the NPC, so I presume it is closed for now.
Here is a map for the first two trade outpost locations.
After the quest is done, you can trade all you want. But if you notice, the dealers' shops are actually empty! They only sell a few limited goods avaiable only a few times every day. When you see a message saying "Bargain Goods are being sold", it's because those items are now avaiable to the NPCs.
When riding with bargain goods, you will always double spawn your thieves, so extra hunters will be necessary. However, when selling these goods, you will have a very noticeable profit, even between short distances. Also, even if you are under level 40 you CAN be attacked by player thieves (or so people say, I can't test that).
Note that these outposts are NOT safe zones, so you can be attacked anytime and you will spawn NPC thieves even while you're selling. If you're attacked while selling you'll be interrupted and you'll have to deal with the problem before you can restart selling.
When doing things related to your job, you will get Job Experience. That experience works separately and when you have enought, you will level up on your job, giving a few bonuses to make your jobbing a bit easier.
A trader gets job exp by succesfully delivering the goods at the end of the trip. May also get exp from kiling thieves, but that's a really worthless exp, so you should stick with the goods to get yourself experience.
A hunter gets job exp by killing Thieves, NPC or Not, and by capturing wanted thieves. They also get hunter exp when the trader sucessfuly delivers the goods.
The Silkroad Online website mentions that the highest levels have extra job items with bonuses on them. This has yet to be confirmed, and the info itself is very confusing, because it is copy/pasted. This is the only bonus that could be verified.
By getting a lot of job experience, you might end up on the server's top rankings. They are updated weekly.
Joymax still is working on bringing news to the job updates, notably there is only one level of job items so far. Besides, a lot of information are obscure, because of some poor translation work, but hey they're doing better.
Thanks to the PureEntity Union and especially my friend Sisay for being my hunters and colleagues and helping me learn a lot of the new trading system! <3 you guys!
Thanks also for other users commenting on the topic and helping make it more complete.

P3 and the final podium spot went the way of ANDREWZH on board his Movistar Yamaha MotoGP machine, with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's TIMOTHYMCGARDEN crossing the line in P4 after a solid ride. Last year's finalist PAUL_IG7 claimed P5 on board his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 bike, with Aprilia Racing Team Gresini's LUIGI48GP completing the top six as the battle further back raged.
Repsol Honda Team's CRISTIANMM17 staged a valiant comeback ride to take P7 after crashing at the first corner, he battled LCR Honda's VINDEX813 to the line – the latter claiming P8. Over a second behind them was RLLORCA26 in P9, the Reale Avintia Racing rider beating the Team Suzuki Ecstar of XXBOMBER_45XX – P10 for the latter. Completing the results was Angel Nieto Team's DAVIDEGALLINA23 and Alma Pramac Racing's ADRIAAN_26 in P11 and P12 respectively - ADRIAAN_26 crashing out on the final lap.

NPF and Hinrich Foundation Create International Trade Journalism Award
By Sandy K. Johnson
The National Press Foundation and the Hinrich Foundation have established a new journalism award to honor excellence in international trade reporting.
The award, titled "Hinrich Foundation Award for Distinguished Reporting on Trade", intends to encourage exemplary journalism that advances the understanding of international trade. The award carries a $10,000 prize.
"With this award, we will honor journalists who have made exceptional contributions to informing and stimulating discussion about the future of global trade," said Merle A. Hinrich, founder and chairman of the Hinrich Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on promoting sustainable global trade.
"NPF is excited to offer this exceptional new award to journalists who cover trade across the globe. It is a natural extension of our respected training and education programs for journalists," said Sandy K. Johnson, president and chief operating officer of NPF.

The struggle will continue among the Multichoice Diski Challenge League affiliates this weekend. The million-dollar question is whether Black Leopards will manage to rise to the occasion and register their first victory for the season when they host AmaZulu at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow morning.
The young Lidoda Duvha must win the match to restore their lost pride. The last match Leopards played at the Thohoyandou Stadium was when they suffered a 0-3 defeat at the hands of Cape Town City two weeks ago.
The three points Leopards have deposited into their league account to date were accumulated in the three matches in which they played to draws.
The four Leopards' players, Thembisani Nevhulamba, Xolani Ndlovu, Chris Matombo and Andiswa Ndawonde, who were demoted from the senior team are failing to impress in the lower division. The quartet were part of the team that lost 0-3 to Cape Town City two weeks ago. The combination of Tshepang Moremedi, Muthu Luswinga and Tiklas Thutlwa in the Leopards' midfield has the potential to force the opponents to play with their backs against the wall.
Chippa United will host Free State Stars in Port Elizabeth, and Maritzburg United will undertake a journey to Polokwane, where they will fight with Polokwane City at the Seshego Stadium. Cape Town City will host Orlando Pirates at the Cape Town Stadium.
SuperSport United will host Highlands Park at the Lucas Moripe Stadium outside Pretoria. Golden Arrows and Baroka will meet at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban and Kaizer Chiefs will meet Bidvest Wits at the Bidvest Stadium. Bloemfontein Celtic will have a date with Mamelodi Sundowns at the Dr Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein.

Armonk, NY (May 12, 2016) – IBM Security has announced Watson for Cyber Security, a new cloud-based version of the company's cognitive technology trained on the language of security as part of a year-long research project. To further scale the system, IBM plans to collaborate with eight universities to greatly expand the collection of security data IBM has trained the cognitive system with.
Training Watson for Cyber Security (video below) is a critical step in the advancement of cognitive security. Watson is learning the nuances of security research findings and discovering patterns and evidence of hidden cyber attacks and threats that could otherwise be missed. Starting this fall, IBM will work with leading universities and their students to further train Watson on the language of cybersecurity, including: California State Polytechnic University, Pomona; Pennsylvania State University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; New York University; the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC); the University of New Brunswick; the University of Ottawa and the University of Waterloo.
This news is part of a pioneering cognitive security project to address the looming cybersecurity skills gap. IBM efforts are designed to improve security analysts' capabilities using cognitive systems that automate the connections between data, emerging threats and remediation strategies. IBM intends to begin beta production deployments that take advantage of IBM Watson for Cyber Security later this year.
The volume of security data presented to analysts is staggering. The average organization sees over 200,000 pieces of security event data per day1 with enterprises spending $1.3 million a year dealing with false positives alone, wasting nearly 21,000 hours2. Couple this with 75,000-plus known software vulnerabilities reported in the National Vulnerability Database3, 10,000 security research papers published each year and over 60,000 security blogs published each month4– and security analysts are severely challenged to move with informed speed.
IBM plans to collaborate with eight universities that have some of the world's best cybersecurity programs to further train Watson and introduce their students to cognitive computing. The universities include: California State Polytechnic University, Pomona; Pennsylvania State University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; New York University; UMBC; the University of New Brunswick; the University of Ottawa and the University of Waterloo.
Students will help train Watson on the language of cybersecurity, initially working to help build Watson's corpus of knowledge by annotating and feeding the system security reports and data. As students work closely with IBM Security experts to learn the nuances of these security intelligence reports, they'll also be amongst the first in the world to gain hands-on experience in this emerging field of cognitive security. This work will build on IBM's work in developing and training Watson for Cyber Security. IBM currently plans to process up to 15,000 security documents per month over the next phase of the training with the university partners, clients and IBM experts collaborating.
In another effort to further scientific advancements in cognitive security, UMBC has also announced a multi-year collaboration with IBM Research to create an Accelerated Cognitive Cybersecurity Laboratory (ACCL) in the College of Engineering and Information Technology. Faculty and students working in the ACCL will apply cognitive computing to complex cybersecurity challenges to build upon their own prior research. They will also collaborate with IBM scientists and leverage IBM's advanced computing systems to add speed and scale to new cybersecurity solutions.
"This collaboration will allow our students and faculty to work with IBM to advance the state-of-the-art in cognitive computing and cybersecurity," said Anupam Joshi, director of UMBC's Center for Cybersecurity and chair of computer science and electrical engineering, at UMBC, who will lead the ACCL at UMBC.

Style - isn't that for the rich and famous?
Do you think home style has nothing to do with you?
Isn't it just an abstract concept? You live in a practical world. Colors. Prices. Food. Children. Washing.
But home style is really about you, how you see yourself and the world. The elements of style can be applied to any home, whether you're considering a country style home, mediterranean style home, or anything else.
Many people who wouldn't class themselves as interior designers have an excellent sense of style.
They have achieved this through practice - by really looking at and analyzing what they like (possessions, ornaments, pictures, colors etc.) and how these objects and preferences suit them and their lifestyle.
As with many aspects of home style, look at as many illustrations as you can. Some you'll like, so ask yourself why. Is it the colors? The fabric design? Or has the designer mixed two seemingly conflicting elements in a unique way?
Home style is about you, so you have to develop your own style.
Notice I said 'develop', not 'invent'. You don't have to think up a style from scratch, something no one else has thought of. Take the best of what you see, and use that.
Pay close attention to what appeals to you and why. You'll gain confidence in your tastes and develop you own particular sense of style.
Think of style in the following ways, and you find that it is a very practical part of your home style ideas.
Your style is having your favorite colors and furnishings around you, so you can enjoy them.
Is the object, color, texture etc suitable for the room?
Does it clash with the other features?
Does it fit in with your concept? For example, if you're planning a very traditional scheme, then a piece of modern art (however attractive it may be in its own right) will probably not be suitable.
If it's a color, does it fit in with your scheme? If you've used five or six variations of soft muted colors in your scheme, and then introduce a vivid primary color, you'll probably find it destroys the effect you're trying to create.
What is your "gut" feeling? The feature you are considering may be correct from a color or texture point of view, but if you simply don't like it (even if you don't know why) then don't use it.
Are the proportions right? Sometimes the feature is fundamentally right, but maybe just a bit too large or slightly too small. For example, an oil painting may look good, but its frame is too thin and unimportant. Replacing the frame with a three inch wide gilded one may transform the painting.
Does the feature fit in with the architecture and setting? An ultramodern house in a new development may not be the ideal setting for French Empire furniture. However, don't be a slave to this. Many stylish rooms have a mix of old and new. As with many skills, once you've learned the basic rules and mastered them, you can then go on to ignore them on occasion.
Be sensitive to the house, its proportions, character and where it is located. Then be sensitive to your own needs and that of your family.
Imagine you're convincing your home of the style it should have rather than forcing a home style on it.
That way you'll achieve a finished look which is unique, full of your own influence, and a place you can truly call your own. You will then have achieved that abstraction known as 'style'.
This photo shows a room decorated in a classic traditional style.
The dimensions of the room, together with its architectural features (cornice, picture rail, ceiling plaster work around the chandeliers, fireplace) suggest that a traditional style will be suitable.
The color scheme is also a classic two-color scheme - blue and gold/yellow. The blue carpet supplies the base color, which is then introduced into the fabric of the upholstery and the curtains.
The furniture style is classical, and the 'Queen Anne legs' of the coffee tables is not only in keeping with the style, but also brings a touch of lightness and elegance to the overall effect.
The architecture of this room suggests using a modern style of decorating.
The lines are straight, with no embellishments. The scheme uses a simple color structure, the brown floor providing a base color, with creams and whites used in the walls and furnishings.
The rug under the table gives a link between the floor and lighter furniture, while the picture frame gives a contrasting balance. Although the style of the sofa is traditional with its scroll arms, its plain white upholstery and contemporary throw pillows enable it to blend into this contemporary theme.
This bedroom style suggests comfort and luxury.
The thickness of the covers, together with the generous pillows give a feeling of welcome. The rug on the floor, while not essential in this room, suggest the owners value their room and its style - this is not 'just' a bedroom.
The use of simple shades on the windows instead of drapes prevent the windows from becoming fussy and the room overdressed.
Never, ever, select a style for the sole purpose of impressing other people.
Creating a style is like writing a novel - whether you like it or not, your own thoughts, opinions, insights and views will come through. Trust your instincts, and you'll find you have as much style as anyone else!

The President of the Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, on Friday, predicted an end to the unstable foreign exchange rate, following Nigeria's exit from recession.
Gwadabe in Lagos that available economic indices and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) forex policy were indications for a stable naira.
"Naira will definitely remain stable as all the indices will give the CBN the capacity to maintain stability.
"A rising foreign reserves of 31.22 billion dollars, the CBN is well positioned to sustain its interventions at the foreign exchange market.
"The foreign reserve is robust. There is enhanced fiscal discipline and increasing confidence of foreign investors in the economy and many empowerment programmes organized by the Federal Government,'' Gwadabe said.
The financial expert noted that the expansion in the manufacturing sector as shown by data from the Purchasing Managers Index was also an indication of a growing economy.
The naira had remained stable since the Sallah break, exchanging at N365 to the dollar at the parallel market.
The Nigerian economy exited recession after attaining 0.55 per cent growth in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, the CBN has injected over 3.6 billion dollars in series of interventions to the forex market in the past five months.

Investigation, oil leak off the coast of Port Elizabeth
SAMSA is trying to determine the extent of the damage caused by a 400 litre oil leak near Port Elizabeth over the weekend.
in Africa News, Africa Today, Business, Crime, Economy, Environment, Featured, People
Home Africa News
The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) is investigating the extent of the damage caused by a 400-litre oil leak into the ocean near the coast of Port Elizabeth.
Oil leak near Port Elizabeth
The incident that led to the spill apparently happened over the weekend during the attempted refueling of a vessel. The cause of the spill, according to SAMSA, was overflow. Although the question 'of what?' remains unanswered.
In a statement, SAMSA confidently announced that the oil would not reach the beach or nearby islands and that a company contracted to assess the effect of the spill found no traces of oil in the water.
The incident occurred around 20km north and east of Port Elizabeth at Port Ngqura while SA Marine Fuels was refueling the MV Chrysanthi S, which led the former to launch an immediate oil spillage control exercise.
And if the current announcements from SAMSA are accurate, they did a pretty good job at that.
"SAMSA will conduct a comprehensive investigation into this unfortunate incident," said acting SAMSA CEO Sobantu Tilayi.
"While responsibility for preventing pollution by ships at sea no longer resides with SAMSA but with the Department of Environmental Affairs, we take our role as the custodian of the country's maritime affairs and for promoting South Africa's maritime economy extremely seriously.
World class bunkering standards
Thankfully, according to Tilayi, the bunkering protocols adhered to by local companies were of world-class standard, which is why there have been no reports of additional fallout or damage.
"We know the impact that an oil spill can have, from the marine wildlife affected to the people who earn their living from the sea and the local economy, and we will do everything in our power not only to ensure that the impact of this spill is contained but also to ensure that it never happens again," he said.

Q: Checking against any item in array being checked? I need some help shortening this code and am just a little off. Here is original code:
$("#MKDPT").change(function() {
 if ($("#MKDPT").is(":checked") && $("#AMX1N").is(":not(:checked)") ||
 ("#ERXXN").is(":not(:checked)")) {
         alert(this.id);
     }
 });

I will be adding a lot more id's. Can I just create an array of the ID's im making sure aren't checked and compare against it? Im not sure if you can check to see if any item in an array is checked, or do I need to do it by .length?
Example
 $("#MKDPT").change(function() {
       if ($("#MKDPT").is(":checked") && $("#AMX1N").is(":not(:checked)") ||
 ("#ERXXN").is(":not(:checked)") || ("#ID").is(":not(:checked)") || ("#ID").is(":not(:checked)") ||
 ("#ID").is(":not(:checked)") || ("#ID").is(":not(:checked)") || ("#ID").is(":not(:checked)")) {
         alert('foo');
     }
 });

this is what I want it to do, but am having trouble with:
 $("#MKDPT").change(function() {
       var ckd = new Array = ("AMX1N","ERXXN","ID","ID","ID","ID","ID","ID","ID")
       if ($("#MKDPT").is(":checked") && ckd.is(":not(:checked)")) {
         alert('foo');
     }
 });

Kane Leins

A: One way is to go about like this:
$("#MKDPT").change(function() {
       var ckd = new Array ("AMX1N","ERXXN","ID");

       for(var i = 0; i < ckd.length; i++)
       {
          if ($("#" + ckd[i]).is(":checked")) {
             alert('foo');
             break;
          }
       }
 });

The for loop goes through each of the array element and checks to see if any element with such id is checked and if yes, it alerts about that.


When life challenges you, how can we cope with the struggle? How can we make tomorrow a better day?
There are times in life when we find ourselves stuck. It could be a job, relationship or any impasse in life where the repetition has you feeling trapped. Though there is no one right way to handle these situations there is only one wrong way: to do nothing.
When we are in this mindset we are destructive – implosive or explosive. We are unhappy with where we are at the moment, that is why we feel so grounded.
Now, to move forward we must sometimes look back. We have soared before and been able to touch the sky, but how did we get there – what was different? It might not be much of a difference to your lifestyle between that head in the clouds feeling and rock bottom.
If you're unhappy with your partner and you take a minute to think about it, you might find that you're feeling distant. What changed? Have you been putting in more hours at work? Maybe the new baby is taking up what would have been your quality time together? Taking a step back to see where the problem started might reveal that you just need a day off or a night out together to bring your love back to life. Sometimes easier said than done, but always possible.
How about work? Feel like you have been spinning your wheels in the same position with little appreciation? Perhaps you have been chasing the carrot of that illusive promotion for years and keep being told it is just around the corner? Well there's a laundry list of things that could be holding you back.
–Is it you? Sometimes you have to take a deep look inward and really question if you are giving your best effort. Ask yourself, if you were the boss, would you appreciate an employee like you?
–Is it your boss? It's been statistically proven that (roughly) 75% of people that leave their current employer leave because of inadequate managers. Though every member of staff is replaceable, it is an expensive and time consuming process. How many people on a team would need to look for alternate careers before the company realizes its because of a single unfit member of management?
–Is it your company/industry? Every industry has different stress and every company in that industry has its benefits and drawbacks to their procedures. If you are feeling stuck, would any competing company provide you a relief? Or are you simply not invested in the industry as a whole?
Really find the center of your heart and what it would take to make you happy.
Our goal here today is to get through this darkness.
To get through this nightfall of uncertainty and find our way to a new dawn.
You'll notice the photo is not of nightfall, but of dawn. This is our destination, the journey through the dark will serve to make us stronger and help us appreciate where we finish.
When we have discovered the root of our displeasure, the cause of this impasse, or whatever sprung this feeling of 'trapped', we can move forward from there. Take a deep breath and really dive deep down, being completely honest with your emotions and thoughts. Know that you will make it through, into a better and supportive place, I promise you will get there.


She waited and waited but no one came to feed her. The more she waited, the more she grew hungry and helpless. At last, she decided to crawl out of her home, a pond dug right in the middle of the village. With sulky feeling, she crawled off and away until she came to Eutamababane, the sea ghost.
When the villagers returned, they looked for their turtle. Her pond was empty with a sign of abandonment. They started tracing her body land mark until they ended up at the ocean side. Nei Katutetang had finally gone back to her real home the sea.
Nowadays, the crawling mark left by Nei Katutetang has become a sea passage dividing the two villages Mwanoku and Kabangaki - Abemama Island.
