Thalador: With what is Zhaitan trying to ease his insatiable hunger (both for power and flesh)?
Jeff Grubb: The Elder Dragons do not eat in a traditional sense—they corrupt and consume. It is their nature. They will not be content until they have made the entire world like they are, and destroyed the rest.
These dragons scheme a far worse destiny for all living beings than what we originally imagined. We believed they wanted to feast until they returned to sleep, sated. We were wrong – or at least far away from the truth. Their hunger is neither for flesh nor power. They crave to remold all of Tyria into their twisted image, while destroying those who resist. This answer, however, only raises more questions.
If their only purpose is to assimilate everything and imbue everything with their own essence, why didn't they remain awake after the first time they succeeded in corrupting the world? Their existence and activities today imply that they were partly successful before. Or maybe they wanted to stay awake and carry out their grim plans, but were stopped by someone or a group of someones. Could the Order of Whispers be closest to the truth when they attempt to force the dragons back to sleep? It might have worked before, after all, OUR existence may be a testimony to the past failure of the Elder Dragons. A slight hope that they can be defeated, one way or another.
It is also interesting to note, that aside from the then sleeping and stirring heralds and champions of the Elder Dragons, there were not really other signs of the horrid corruption with which they had scourged the world eons before. Maybe someone tended and cured Tyria after the dragons had fallen into hibernation, while – at the same time – eradicating the still-roaming minions. Although I wonder: what were the giganticus lupicus – whose enormous skeletons can be found from the Crystal Desert to the Maguuma Jungle and the Far Shiverpeaks? Victims of the dragons or mindless monsters of Zhaitan and his "friends" who were destroyed by the mysterious healer(s) of Tyria?
So it seems that the true motivation of the dragons, if that is really the right word, is not hunger, but something more akin to xenophobia – their overriding urge is to destroy or assimilate everything that is not a part of themselves. This would also seem to explain why the dragons do not appear to be rivals – it's a little ambiguous whether another dragon (or its minions) would be considered by a dragon to be 'like they are', but it's certainly going to be closer than an uncorrupted mortal. Likely, then, we can't expect to see the Elder Dragons fighting each other in earnest until everything else is destroyed or corrupted, and perhaps not even then – either way, it would be best for them to be stopped first.
Perhaps more significant, however, is how this reflects on why the dragons went into hibernation in the first place. Previous theories have suggested that their hibernation is the result of running low on food – but this answer indicates they don't actually need such sustenance, and if the dragons went into hibernation at a time when the world had been virtually swept clean of all other life, they had done so at the eve of their total victory. Either there is some other characteristic of the dragons that limits their activity cycles – perhaps they simply need to rest after a period of activity – or some external force must have forced them into hibernation.
Thalador: What is Zhaitan's method for reanimation: Corrupting both the soul and the body, or only the body and forcing the soul to stay in the rotting vessel?
Jeff Grubb: The jury is still out on this one. Zhaitan's baneful effects corrupt (and reanimate) the body, and his more powerful minions do have a memory of their previous life. However, whether this is a corruption of the soul or an appropriation of previous consciousness is a matter of debate.
This topic was not really touched in my original study, although I couldn't help but ask – who knows, it might have come in handy for research to combat Zhaitan's corruption. It seems that even the oracle and his order are not fully certain of how exactly Zhaitan's 'baneful effects' work.
Morgus Lethe, one of Zhaitan's permanently late minions, did seem to have memories of who he had been – a norn captain – but showed infinite loyalty and conviction to his draconic master. As the wise mystic said, the effects on the mind could work like a form of indoctrination: brainwashing the consciousness of the recently deceased to believe in the dragon and his purpose with 'undying' zeal. Personally, I am leaning towards this more, as there have been reports from the Sparkfly Fen front detailing untold gratitude forming on the rotten faces of Zhaitan's undead and their eerie whispering of the word 'finally' upon being killed for good.
Thalador: Did the Orrians have legends, superstitious stories about a gigantic, world-shattering dragon sleeping deep below their holy city, and if so, what were they about?
Jeff Grubb: Actually, no. When the humans built Orr, they knew it for an extremely magical place but did not know the origin of that magic. (The asura made a similar mistake with their Central Transfer Chamber, which they parked right over Primordus.) If the human gods knew of what slumbered beneath the world, they said nothing. The Tome of Rubicon, from among the dwarves, held some legends that came down of their battle with the Great Destroyer, which was merely a herald of Primordus.
Very interesting. It would seem that our Orrian brothers and sisters respected Arah and the legacy of the gods so much that they did not even investigate the unusually powerful magic and its source. It also brings up the intriguing possibility concerning the Forbidden Vaults in the catacombs of Arah. What if the gods themselves had proclaimed the area off-limits before they handed over the keys to the city to their mortal protégés – or at least left behind a note warning them not to enter the basement? Then, with that in mind it could also be possible that Vizier Khilbron was the first human to enter the vaults after more than a millennium. Again, this train of thought points in the direction of the gods knowing about the Elder Dragons and actually harnessing their power somehow (see my initial study).
However, it is significant that the existance, if not the nature, of a power under Orr was in fact known to its inhabitants. This might indicate that some of the magical artifacts associated with the city – including the Sceptre of Orr and the royal swords of Ascalon – might have been empowered by tapping into the aura of Zhaitan. In turn, this could make these artifacts of great significance in the fight against Zhaitan – either in aiding the loremasters of Tyria in divining the nature of the dragons, or, constructed using the essence of the dragon as they were, the swords and sceptre may well be the weapons capable of causing significant harm to the Elder Dragon, much like Glint intended to use the spines and blood of Kralkatorrik she had collected.
The implication that some of humanity's most impressive magical artifacts may have been created employing the power of a sleeping Elder Dragon also adds a different twist to the aims of the Order of Whispers to put the dragon back to sleep instead of killing it. Instead of being the sort of pragmatism that recognises that putting the dragon to sleep might be easier than slaying it, the motives of the Order might be founded more in the cold-blooded pragmatism that says that while an active dragon is a threat, a sleeping one could be an asset.
And with a host of magic items created from leeching off the dragon's aura and the knowledge of the dragon's presence, this might not even be a case of sacrificing the future to preserve the present, as the guardians of Zhaitan's resting place might be in an excellent position to send Zhaitan right back to sleep when the dragon next stirs.
Jeff Grubb: Not in the least. Zhaitan is unaffected by such small things as wrinkles in the world's crust, and in the mere sinking of continents.
One of our greatest fears, the one I brought up last time, has come true. The Elder Dragon was left unscratched and undisturbed in the wake of a catastrophe that spelled the end of thousands of lives in the blink of an eye. The Cataclysm to Zhaitan might have been what a distant rumble outside the streets is to us when we are having our sweetest and deepest dreams and subconsciously pull the blanket tighter around ourselves – in Zhaitan's case, his wings. How are we supposed to fight something that feels nothing – not even one of the greatest and most destructive magical phenomena to date?
On the other hand, it is proven: Zhaitan was neither killed only to be reanimated nor corrupted in the Cataclysm. IF he is undead – which I doubt, personally – then he had been so before he entered hibernation.
And last but not least, it is becoming more and more probable that the after effects – or rather: side effects – of the Cataclysm occurred because of Zhaitan. That is, his leaking magic reanimated Khilbron and the dead closest to him who then went on to raise the other Orrian citizens. One question still remains, however. Did the Lost Scrolls detail an incantation that drew from the power of the Dragon of Undeath?
This was the last question I could ask and get an answer to before the wise mystic disappeared from my sight again. I am not going to say what I said last time, as with these recent developments, we have gained more knowledge that can be put to use when the fateful day finally arrives. Knowledge that can further be examined and followed upon to solve yet unknown mysteries, improving our chances against Zhaitan and the other Elder Dragons. Until then, stay safe, be well and look for further signs. May the Six Gods protect you. May the Spirits of the Wild bless you. May the Eternal Alchemy guide you. May the Pale Tree watch over you. May the Sun and Koda smile on you. You will need them all.
A thousand thanks to Regina Buenaobra, who did almost everything to get the mysterious lore oracle's answers to us as soon as possible. In the same way, an enormous 'thank you!' to Mr Jeff Grubb, who went out of his time and put aside some dungeon-designing to answer my mortal questions! Also many thanks to the folks at ArenaNet!


If you've ever created a summer bucket list, whether it's with kids or not, you may have added finding a local farm where you can pick your own fresh fruit (whether that's strawberries, apples, or cherries). I know this is an activity that I always wanted to try with our kids.
Well June came and went, and we missed peak cherry picking season in Lancaster County. July also came and went, and we missed prime plum picking season. August started to arrive, and I was determined to pick some fresh fruit before the end of the summer. We were driving past Cherry Hill Orchards, and saw a sign that said "Pick Peaches Today!" What better sign than that for us to check something off our bucket list.
It was really quite an adventure. It was a gorgeous day, we pulled on the orchard road, stopped to let them know that we wanted to pick peaches (it's also the season for blackberry and early apples), and were directed to the trees that would be ripest for picking, we parked, and we picked! After we were done gathering our peaches (we picked about 20), we went back to the entrance, they weighed our peaches, and we were done!
1. Bring your own basket, box, or bag. The thought didn't occur to me about where we would put the fruit we picked, until we pulled up and they asked us what we would carry them in. Fortunately, they have boxes on hand for people like us who forget.
2. Ask about which peaches (or any fruit) are best to pick. The kind man who gave us our box (since we forgot one) also let us know to look for peaches that were very red/orange, not a lot of yellow or any green. He also told us NOT to put them in the fridge, and that they'd be ripe in a day or so. We ended up picking some peaches that were more yellow, since we were picking so many, we didn't want them all to be ripe the next day!
3. If you're picking berries of any kind, it is wise to bring wipes with you – you can typically eat while you're picking (and won't pay for the extras that you eat), but your hands will likely be smeared with berry juice.
For a full list of fruits that are in season, see Cherry Hill Orchard's website here.


WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) applauded the announcement of Federal Transit Administration funding for the two major New York City transit projects today. $197 million in funding for the 2nd Avenue Subway and $215 million for the East Side Access project -linking the LIRR to Grand Central Terminal- will be coming to the Metropolitan Transit Authority as part of the Full Funding Grant Agreements governing both projects.

NEWARK - A father and son were shot on Glenbrook Drive in June because three teens planned to rob them of marijuana and cash, according to authorities.
The revelations as to the alleged motive behind the June 13 shooting were made during a probable cause hearing for Jonathan Cochran on Monday in Licking County Juvenile Court.
Cochran, 16, is the youngest person charged in the shooting. His brother, 18-year-old Joseph Sesley, and cousin, 19-year-old Emmanuel Sesley, also are charged.
Licking County Juvenile Court Judge Robert Hoover heard testimony Monday from Shawn McCarty, 20, who was shot four times, twice in the abdomen and once in each hand, and his father, Thomas McCarty, 42, who was shot once in the chest.
Thomas McCarty testified he answered the door to the family's apartment on the 600 block of Glenbrook Drive to find a friend of his son's, "E," and three other teens. He directed them to Shawn McCarty's room.
Shawn McCarty testified he showed the group marijuana that he sold when a gun was pulled and pointed at his head. He said he grabbed the gun's barrel and began to fight for control of it.
When Thomas McCarty heard what he called a "ruckus" and gunshots, he ran into his son's bedroom and said he saw him wrestling with multiple people.
Emmanuel Sesley reportedly put Thomas McCarty in a choke hold, and Shawn McCarty stopped wrestling for the gun, which had gun off at least twice by that point, to assist his father, according to testimony.
THE NEWARK ADVOCATE
Shooting suspect also charged in '14 Columbus homicide
Shortly after that, Shawn McCarty was shot. The first bullet hit his stomach, he said. After that, he knows he was shot three more times, once in the abdomen and once in each hand.
One of the bullets is lodged near his spine. Doctors say they can't remove the bullet because the procedure could paralyze him, McCarty's mother, Shawna Hoffer, testified Monday.

Newark police respond to a shooting at the 600 block of Glenbrook Drive in Newark reported at 2:46 p.m. Police established a perimeter around King, Price and Goosepond roads and were able to capture a suspect on the 700 block of Goodpond Road after a short pursuit. Sara C. Tobias/The Advocate, Sara C. Tobias/The Advocate
Thomas McCarty said after his son was shot, he saw the alleged shooters advancing while Shawn McCarty was "barely standing." McCarty said he pushed his son toward the ground and stepped in front of him, taking a bullet in his collarbone area.
Hoffer, who also was in the apartment at the time, testified she ran downstairs after hearing the shots. She said Cochran pointed a revolver at her head and then fled the apartment.
Levi Porter, 17, admitted to driving the group from a home on Eddy Street to the apartment to purchase the drugs. Porter testified he ran out of the home as soon as he saw a gun pulled. Joseph Sesley, who had himself been shot in the arm during the struggle, and Emmanuel Sesley, jumped in his truck as he drove away from the scene, according to testimony.
Cochran fled on foot and was apprehended a short distance away by police. Multiple officers testified Monday about locating Cochran's clothing and a loaded .357 revolver a short distance away.
Newark Detective Steve Vanoy testified Cochran confessed to taking a loaded firearm to the residence with the intent to rob the McCartys of marijuana and money.
After the testimony, Hoover determined there was enough evidence for Cochran to be tried as an adult on one count of aggravated robbery and two counts of attempted murder. He ordered a social history and mental health evaluation be done before determining whether charges of felonious assault and tampering with evidence will be transferred to Licking County Common Pleas Court as well.
Cochran was remanded to the Multi-County Juvenile Detention Facility in Lancaster pending an amenability hearing in the coming weeks.
Two indicted for alleged roles in double shooting
Joseph Sesley has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and felonious assault and one count of aggravated robbery. He is being held in the Licking County Justice Center in lieu of $500,000 bond.
Emmanuel Sesley has been charged with the same counts and is being held in the Licking County Justice Center in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Porter has entered an admission to a juvenile equivalency count of obstructing official business.

Q: Trying to remove the FALSE statement from Excel Formula I have rite a formula which is not a perfect one but is providing me the accurate result from the the data. There is just one problem in it that it also gives the FALSE value in the formula.
Which i want to remove If someone expert can do this i will appreciate the help or can provide the perfect formula that will be great help.
Please have a look on the below attached sheet.
Here is the formula
=IF(AND(C10<>$B$2,D10=7),"Y"&C10,IF(OR(D10=2,D10=5,D10=8,D10=11),IF($B$2=C10,"Q"&INT((D10-1)/3)+1&" "&C10),""))

and that False should not appear.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I3tGNecvQ7Kqt0bGDX1Rxdw2sveZuPddfUjE8I2ZzFM/edit#gid=0

A: You are missing the false part of one of the IF statements, try this.
=IF(AND(C10<>$B$2,D10=7),"Y"&C10,IF(OR(D10=2,D10=5,D10=8,D10=11),IF($B$2=C10,"Q"&INT((D10-1)/3)+1&" "&C10,""),""))

A: You need to add a blank condition for when the third if statement is false.
=IF(
    AND(C10<>$B$2,D10=7),
    "Y"&C10,
    IF(
        OR(D10=2,D10=5,D10=8,D10=11),
        IF(
            $B$2=C10,

For years, the station has run a Most Beautiful Baby contest. It's become a staple for their programming on an annual basis. Sharing pictures of cute babies is a surefire way to draw in the moms in your area, so this seemed like a perfect fit.
The station set up their photo contest in two distinct phases – submission and voting. By having two phases, this allowed the station multiple opportunities to reach out to their audience at different stages of the contest.
The station's number one goal of the contest was to grow the database of their brand new Mom Squad newsletter. Not only did they include an opt-in for the newsletter, but WMEE also added two specific survey questions to know more about the moms they were adding to their database. This valuable information would help them tailor their content to fit their new audience.
Beyond growing their Mom Squad newsletter, WMEE also had a goal of growing and enriching their full email database. By also including survey questions about user's automotive purchase habits, WMEE was able to gather valuable data they can then use when reaching out to automotive advertisers in the future – a frequent sponsor with the station.
The results of the contest were outstanding. More than 1,900 photos were entered, and more than 13,000 people cast a vote for who should win.
When it came to achieving their goal of email, WMEE knocked it out of the park. From this one contest alone, they were able to add over 5,800 people to their brand new Mom Squad newsletter. Plus, by including the automotive questions, the station identified 10% of their users were interested in buying a new car – excellent data for the sales team to take to prospective advertisers.
All in all, this campaign was a resounding success for the station and proves the point that having an advertiser isn't necessary for a promotion to make a huge impact for your company.

Player Insight: Will Monteiro
Club News First Team
by Peter Scherer
Young striker Will Monteiro joined Mickleover last July and has been part of the first team squad throughout last season.
Did he always want to be a footballer?
From a very young age, football was a massive part of my life, from playing at school with friends, to playing competitively on a Sunday.Ever since then, I have strived to keep to keep on improving as a footballer, to give myself the best opportunity to get to the highest levels possible.
He started at Rotherham Utd but then won sports scholarship.
I was at Rotherham from 12 to 16 before being released. My former coach Tom Newey spoke to me about an opportunity at a school who were offering sports scholarships to high level sports people, and after seeing the facilities and the standard of sports there, I decided it was the best place for me to go and develop my football.
He's played in a few different positions, but how did he settle as a striker?
Playing different positions helped me understand the game from many different aspects and also allowed me to improve my own game. It was the decision of Tom Newey that I went to Queen Ethelburgas, and he decided he wanted me to lead the line for the team, and this was the best decision he could have made for me. It massively improved me as a footballer.
So how did he come from a private school in Yorkshire to sign for Mickleover?
The gaffer saw me playing for Queen Ethelburgas and approached me about coming to play for Mickleover. Once I had spoken to him about his plans with me and I had seen the standard of the players there and the teams we play against, it was a no brainer that it would be the best place for to develop my football.
Having scored on his debut at Clipstone, that must have helped him settle in?
It was a really nice moment for me and yes it did help me settle in massively. The support and the buzz of the lads when it happened, really made me feel welcome and part of the team.
As a striker does he prefer playing as a holding target man or running at defenders?
I think it's important to have an all round game, so I'm unpredictable to play against. I think I need to be able to hold the ball up so the team can build attacks off me, but also run the channels and stretch the pitch.
Is he hoping to progress in his career or is he happy playing at his current level?
I'm always striving to improve to try and get to the next level. I think if you don't have the hunger to try and get to the best level you can, then your performances and attitude will drop, which will affect the team.
He's been doing the zoom sessions with the rest of the players during Lockdown, so has it helped team spirit?
Even though they are really tough, they are really good for the team spirit and keeping us engaged with each other. It's also allowed us as a team to come back as fit as possible and maintain the high standards we set before Lockdown.
But what does he do away from football?
Not a lot to be honest, if I am not playing I'm watching. I do like a bit of gaming and I try and make time to be with family and friends.
What would he normally do before a match?
The day before is when I really start to prepare for a game. I like to eat pasta the night before and I also do a little foam rolling and stretching. I'll always make sure I'm in bed at a reasonable time too.
We know it was a short season, but was he surprised how well it went?
I wasn't really surprised because training with the lads you see the quality of the team and standards that are set from the Gaffer and senior lads. Once the train started, I don't think there was any stopping it as a team, we didn't fear anyone.
So when you heard the season was declared null and void, what was your first reaction?
I was really gutted to be honest. Being top of the league, we were flying and it felt like the hard work we had put in had gone to waste. However with the group of players we have, I know we will go into next season with as much drive and determination as we had this season.
What is his personal aim for next season?
To keep on improving and hopefully become a regular starter for the team.
What has been his fondest footballing memory so far?
I have got many memories, but one of the fondest was scoring in a semi-final for Queen Ethelburgas, sending my team to the final at MK Dons.

Q: Programatically insert a Word document into an existing document (Word 2007) I have a Word 2007 document that I want to insert an exsiting Word document into - while preserving the header/footer, graphics, borders etc of both documents.
I'm doing this using the Word API in C#.
It sounds pretty simple, I mean surely you just use the "InsertFile" method...
except that in Word 2007 the "insert file" functionality now is actually "insert text from file" and it does just that - leaving out the page border, graphics and footer etc.
OK then, I'll use copy and paste instead, like so...
_Document sourceDocument = wordApplication.Documents.Open(insert the 8 million by ref parameters Word requries)
sourceDocument.Activate(); // This is the document I am copying from
wordApplication.Selection.WholeStory();
wordApplication.Selection.Copy();
targetDocument.Activate(); // This is the document I am pasting into
wordApplication.Selection.InsertBreak(wdSectionBreakNextPage);
Selection.PasteAndFormat(wdFormatOriginalFormatting);
wordApplication.Selection.InsertBreak(wdSectionBreakNextPage);

which does what you would expect, takes the source document, selects everything, copies it then pastes it into the target document. Because I've added a section break before doing the paste it also preserves the borders, header/footer of both documents.
However - now this is where I have the problem. The paste only includes the borders, header etc if I paste at the end of the target document. If I paste it in the middle - despite there being a preceding section break, then only the text gets pasted and the header and borders etc are lost.

A: Would the bookmark functionality work. The InsertFile contains parameters to take from this which may get around the problem. You may have considered this already though
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.tools.word.bookmark.insertfile.aspx

A: This sort of worked for me. Still looking for a better solution. Be sure to add your reference to Interop.Word. I know this is an old thread and I am using Word 2016 but I searched for a long time and had to piece the solution together.
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
var wordApp = new Word.Application();
wordApp.Visible = true;
wordApp.Documents.Add(@"C:\workingtemplate.dotx");
//Open is for an existing document.
//Add is to use a template.
//Get the range to be able to then collapse and have the correct insertion point
var rng = wordApp.ActiveDocument.Range();
rng.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);
rng.InsertBreak(Word.WdBreakType.wdPageBreak);
rng.InsertFile(@"C:\temp.docx");

A: I'm actually working on something similar at the moment strangely enough and found a powershell cmdlet library written in C# that you might find useful:
Powertools for Open XML
It is still a little buggy with inherited headers and footers as well as with image references not being copied correctly if the same image is in multiple parts of the document, but a lot of the structure is in place.

A: TO INSERT A WORD DOCUMENT INTO ANOTHER WORD 2007 DOCUMENT
The only way I found successful for WORD 2007 is...
open the document you want to add the pages to, then goto "Insert" tab on the ribbon, look at the the "text" section (same place as text box, word art, etc) and select "object", a drop down menu appears, then select "Text from File". From here you simply select the document you want inserted and its done, you may need to make some slight adjustment, but it all there formatted correctly, be sure to place your cursor at the point you want the new stuff inserted. Hope this helps

Unsettled Al Wasl star Caio Canedo 'passes the ball' to Dubai club over his future
Brazilian prefers to remain at Zabeel Stadium – if trophy-less Arabian Gulf League club match his ambition
Abdulla Al Khabari (L) of Saudi Arabia's al-Nassr Club vies for the ball against Caio Canedo (R) of the United Arab Emirtaes' Wasl Club during their AFC Champions League football match at al-Wasl stadium in Dubai on March 04, 2019. / AFP / STRINGER
John McAuley
Al Wasl captain Caio Canedo has called on the club to give him a contract he feels deserves as the forward weighs up whether to remain at the Dubai side.
Caio, 28, joined in 2014 and has gone on to lead Wasl to second- and third-placed finishes in the Arabian Gulf League, and last season to the final of both the Arabian Gulf Cup and President's Cup. However, the club have yet to land any silverware during his time there.
Still, Caio has scored 66 goals in 111 league matches for the Zabeel Stadium side, forming a potent partnership with fellow Brazilian Fabio de Lima.
Caio caused controversy recently, though, when he suggested on social media that his time at Wasl could be coming to an end. The former Internacional striker, whose contract runs through to 2022, was this week linked with a move to current UAE champions Al Ain. Likewise, De Lima's future continues to be subject to much speculation.
Yet, seeking to clarify his stance, Caio said he preferred to remain at Wasl – if the club match his ambition.
"There was a little bit of a situation with me: if I'm going to stay, if I'm going to go out," he said. "But I want to be a champion. If the club is not thinking about me, I'd rather go somewhere else. I don't want only to compete; I want to win. Which is why I put that thing on Instagram and was talking about my feelings, the whole situation about my contract.
Al Wasl's Fabio De Lima, right, has been granted UAE citizenship. Chris Whiteoak / The National
"I'm 28 years old, I need a better contract. Especially for everything I am for the club: I'm the captain, I try to be an example for all the young players, I try to help the administration. Players like Fabio and me, you don't find easily. It's not just technique or talent, it's character. It's heart. You don't buy this.
"That's why I told the club, why I exposed my situation. We have to sit down and talk. I told them I need a better contract. I will let them talk, decide and see if we can reach an agreement that I think I deserve. If not, we'll see something else."
Caio said he is attracting interest from a number of clubs, including those based in the UAE and Brazil. His agent was set to arrive in Dubai this week to discuss with Wasl an improvement on the deal he signed in December 2017.
"I will always give Al Wasl priority because Al Wasl opened the doors for me in the UAE," Caio said. "Like I said, I need to think a little about me now, about my family. What I want is a better contract, that's all.
"They know this, they know the type of player they have, so it's time for them to think a little about me. If you go to Brazil and try to find a player like me you're going to pay top. You have these players here with you. So you need to give support, you need to show love, you need to give them what they deserve.
how unbeaten Sharjah can end 23-year wait to be league champions against Al Wasl
Shock move to Al Ain changed Asamoah Gyan's 'life financially forever'
Swedish striker Marcus Berg set to leave Al Ain in summer
"I'm not fighting; I would never fight. I have a good relationship with the president, with [CEO] Mohammed Al Amri. We can sit down and talk like professionals. And that's what's going to happen. I just want them to know what kind of players they have.
"I pass the ball to the administration. They have to help me; they need to make a project for me. I'm waiting. Hopefully we can come to an agreement."
Wasl have endured a difficult season. In October, they dismissed manager Gustavo Quinteros after six league matches and replaced him, eventually, with Romanian Laurentiu Reghecampf. The seven-time UAE champions had slipped to 12th in the table, but have rallied lately to climb to seventh.
Wasl reached the quarter-finals of the Arabian Gulf Cup and the last four of the President's Cup, although they sit bottom of their Asian Champions League group with one match remaining. They have no chance of making the knockouts. An already-stretched squad has struggled to compete on four fronts.
"I want to fight up top," Caio said. "In order for us to fight up top we need to bring players to help us, experienced players. I think the club is planning this.
"I've been here five years, but haven't won anything as a group. Individually it has been beautiful: I score more than 30 goals each season. But I want to win. I want to put my photo there on the wall. I have ambitions, especially as a captain.
"I want to lift a trophy. I cannot do that alone. Fabio and me can't do that alone. That's why we need players. I want to help."

Decreasing soil fertility, loss of variety, climate change, continued extensive use of pesticides, factory farming with its necessary use of antibiotics and the resulting antibiotic resistance in human beings – these are among the problems confronting agriculture worldwide.
For more than 90 years the biodynamic approach to agriculture has been developing a farming culture that constructively counters these problems. Soil fertility and plant health are enhanced by using naturally produced and subtly effective preparations made from cow manure, medicinal plants and minerals. A Demeter farmer manages his farm with deep respect for the processes of life, for soil vitality, for the nature of plants and the inviolability of animals. Thus all Demeter cows, for example, are allowed to keep their horns.
The Demeter brand stands for biodynamic produce and products and is an international label whose standards are recognised throughout the world. Demeter products must ensure that the high quality of the original produce is retained when it is processed. Fair prices and a commitment to social justice are goals shared by the growers, processors, distributors and consumers of the Demeter community.
Demeter International and the International Biodynamic Association (IBDA) became partners of the ELIANT Alliance to make sure that the biodynamic approach in Europe is not unduly limited by regulations and that its contribution to food quality, the environment and biodiversity can be maintained.

NextHow to Win with Google's New Performance Max
Contributor on December 16, 2022
The last three years of e-commerce have been anything but predictable. First, there was the pandemic, sending demand skyrocketing and forever securing e-commerce as a top consumer channel. Then came major shortages, causing delays and shopper frustration. Now, consumers are strapped for cash in the midst of inflation, and we're headed for a recession.
It's been a wild ride to say the least.
But we've learned a lot too. For instance, consumers tell us they regularly use multiple marketplaces to browse, shop and buy. We've also seen the emergence of several new retailer-led media networks, demonstrating digital advertising's acceleration.
We recently hosted our annual year-in-review webinar, 2022 E-Commerce Wrap-Up: Key Trends to Look for in 2023, along with a preview of what's to come. Let's take a look at what our Vice President of Digital Marketing Strategy, Link Walls, had to say about the past year — and what he predicts for the next 12 months.
The year was marked by record inflation at levels unseen in four decades. This put a major strain on both brands and consumers who were forced to choose between must-haves and nice-to-haves.
But it wasn't all bad. We also saw some rates and markets start to stabilize after two years of nontraditional behavior. And some categories had their best year yet. In 2022:
The economic environment slowed consumer spending. Inflation left little for consumers' discretionary spending this year, affecting brand and retailer bottom lines. US credit card debt also surged over the past year, demonstrating an unwillingness for consumers to return to their pre-stimulus lifestyles.
The job market remained strong despite tech layoffs. Non-farm payrolls bounced back and have continued to stay well above pre-pandemic levels. Tech is the exception, however, as Amazon, Meta and Twitter all carried out mass layoffs in 2022.
E-commerce remained a significant portion of retail. Pandemic-era claims like "retail is dead" couldn't be farther from the truth. As stores reopened and repopulated in 2021 and 2022, in-store shopping reclaimed its position as the leader in commerce. E-commerce still maintains a large share of that spending — certainly more than it would've without the pandemic.
Freight and other rates began normalizing, helping inflation. After record highs the past few years, prices in categories like lumber, automobiles and freight are finally normalizing. Ocean freight and shipping cost decreases are expected to help ease inflation.
Trends varied widely based on category. While in-person schooling and social gatherings fueled categories like apparel and accessories, others like office equipment and supplies were at their lowest. This is possibly due to continued remote work trends.
5 Key Trends for 2023
Based on market behavior over the past year and changes on the horizon, Link anticipates a variety of key trends for 2023, including:
1. Rising tension around privacy and regulations
Regulations around the US, European Union and the world continue to increase with numerous ripple effects for brands, retailers and consumers. For instance, as Apple pushes for greater privacy throughout their products, companies like Meta and Snap Inc. will have to find other ways of securing rich data to inform advertisers. In the meantime, consumers' responses to "Ask app not to track activity" directives have caused both stocks to plummet.
One other aspect of privacy is the use of third-party cookies. The tool's days are numbered, but Google continues to postpone it. (Previously, expiration was set for 2022; it has since been pushed to 2024.) Google has its own tracking system to rely on, but some companies (particularly in Europe) have built their business on the use of third-party cookies, calling the tech giant's move "monopolistic." As tensions rise, we expect to see new workarounds and innovation like privacy sandboxes. Still, the industry has time to prepare and adapt before the changes come to fruition.
2. Frictionless social commerce
Social platforms will continue to make in-app purchasing as frictionless as possible with offerings like Facebook Shops, Instagram Shops and TikTok for Commerce. In 2023, these platforms will aim to make everything from discovery to checkout as seamless as possible for social users, whether they're prompted to purchase in the app or access online and local buying options.
We anticipate deeper investment in social commerce in the coming year, as it gives platforms and advertisers a better sense of where consumers like to make purchases. This will also improve attribution with a clearer picture of where sales originate from.
3. The acceleration of retail media
Among the "big three" digital advertising platforms, revenue from retail media advertising on Google and Meta is significantly larger than revenue from retail media on Amazon. However, Google only saw a 3% increase in 2022 and Meta decreased 4%, whereas Amazon improved 25%.
In 2023, retail media will make up a larger chunk of the advertising pie than ever. Digital ad share for entertainment and social companies like Spotify, Hulu and TikTok will also grow in the next year, but retail media from companies like Amazon and Walmart will make a particularly hefty contribution to the category.
4. Continued consumer expectations for pickup and delivery
Consumers have gotten used to the luxury of next-day and same-day shipping — and they're not going back. But "free shipping" isn't free, and surcharges have also increased thanks to fluctuating gas prices. It's up to brands and retailers to figure out how to do it profitably.
To expand shoppers' options, retailers have doubled down on click-and-collect offerings in the past year, expanding drive-throughs and parking lots for pickup. In the past 12 months, 44% of global shoppers and 57% of US shoppers say they've used the service.
5. Increasing marketplace prevalence
More and more retailers are looking to extend their product selection by experimenting with new selling models. But they don't want the cost of carrying inventory.
Retailers like Macy's are launching their own digital marketplaces, and we believe you'll continue to see more. Some may follow suit, while others consider expanding their drop-ship programs. These moves toward increased selection and marketplace-like environments are wise, as consumer data tells us 76% of global consumers say they regularly use multiple marketplaces for all shopping activities, including browsing, shopping and buying.

19th Century to the Present: Captain Daniel Reed and his Descendants
Captain Daniel Reed was born in approximately 1766 to Daniel and Dorothy Billings Reed. He married Priscilla Wyman Reed on November 26, 1789 and together they had six children: Susan, Priscilla, Abigail (Nabby), Daniel Jr., Martha and Mary. Daniel and his family lived in Northwest Cambridge (now Arlington). He was the first in his family to break away from farming. Out of all of the professions available to him, Daniel Reed chose the sea, and by the end of the 18th century, he was a captain.
Throughout the colonial period and after the Revolutionary War, a life at sea offered New England boys the best chance of a career. During the early 18th century, an ambitious young mariner could work his way up to commanding his own ship in several years. This allowed many poor New Englanders to rise up social ranks. Young men could begin their career at sea as early as age sixteen. Mariners advanced from boy to seaman, to second mate, then mate, and finally captain. A career as a captain allowed Daniel Reed to move up the social ladder and by the end of his life, documents referred to him as a Gentleman.
As a captain, Daniel was decision-maker, navigator and businessman. There was no democracy on a ship and Daniel's word would have been law. Daniel Reed had three responsibilities as a ship captain: to the ship's owners, to the cargo he transported, and to his crew.
Records show that Daniel Reed served as captain of the brig Charleston in the late 18th century. It departed for Bilbao, Spain, in 1797 with goods such as tobacco, rice and sugar. French privateers seized the ship on July 21 and brought it to L'Orient. Eventually, the French released the ship and crew. The seizure of Captain Reed's ship occurred just before the Quasi-War, an undeclared war fought at sea between France and the United States from 1798 to 1800. The United States refused to continue repaying its debt to France after the collapse of the French crown, arguing that they owed money to the previous government. Outraged, France retaliated by seizing a number of American trading ships. By February 1797, France had seized over 316 American merchant ships.
A 1798 notice from Daniel Reed, Seth Frost and Ebenezer Hall to inhabitants of the Northwest Precinct in Cambridge (now Arlington) who owned real estate.
Even though he was frequently away at sea, Daniel was also an active member of society. In 1798, Daniel Reed, Seth Frost and Ebenezer Hall sent a notice to inhabitants of the Northwest Precinct in Cambridge (now Arlington) who owned real estate. The notice announced that they would assess real estate owners' property. In the 18th century, town inhabitants were required to serve in public office. The town required precinct assessors to assess real estate in order to tax them accordingly.
Receipt of payment made to Nahum Ball, a doctor, for the care of Daniel Reed.
The majority of Captain Daniel Reed's documents regard his father's death in 1801. Upon his father's death, the will appointed Captain Daniel executor of the estate. He was therefore responsible to pay all of his father's expenses, such as his coffin, his funeral and even payments to his father's doctor. Although he was responsible for settling all of his father's debts, the will stipulated that two-thirds of the estate now belonged to Daniel.
In 1802, shortly after his father's death, Daniel began buying up the rest of his father's land from his siblings. From his twin sister Sabra, Daniel bought 60 acres of land in Charlestown for $100. He bought an additional 120 acres of land from his sisters Abigail, Eunice and Lucretia. Sabra and Abigail lived in Connecticut and New York respectively; therefore, they were not able to maintain large pieces of land from hundreds of miles away.
Despite Daniel's wealth, he fell ill in 1818 at the age of fifty-two. It is unknown what illness he had, but he eventually passed away two years later on February 6, 1820. Daniel's family buried him in Arlington at the Old Burying Ground. Listed in his will is his wife Priscilla and his daughters Susan, Priscilla and Abigail. Daniel left a fair amount of land and money to his children. In an inventory of Daniel Reed's estate in 1821, appraisers valued his real estate at $4,570 (about $102,000 today).
Stephen Symmes (1790 – 1880)
Stephen Symmes was born in South Woburn (now Winchester) on May 19, 1790. He married Captain Daniel and Priscilla Wyman Reed's daughter Priscilla in October 1815. Stephen was a farmer and lived in Arlington with Priscilla and their children: Sarah, Priscilla, Louisa and Stephen Jr. An 1860 census of West Cambridge listed Stephen as a farmer, aged 70. Through his wife Priscilla, he ended up owning part of the farm that Squaw Sachem once owned. The Wyman family, however, owned the original home.
Stephen Symmes Jr. (1816 – 1901)
A portrait of Stephen Symmes, Jr.
Stephen Symmes Jr. was the son of Stephen and Priscilla Reed Symmes. He lived on part of the farm that the eldest Daniel Reed bought from John Fowle in 1707. His home, now known as the Stephen Symmes home, is located on Crosby Street in Arlington. It is a Greek revival and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
As a young man, Stephen was a clerk in a grocery store, which once stood at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Water Street. He married Catherine Pollard and although they had no children, they adopted a daughter named Harriet.
Stephen was also an active member of society and served on the School Committee and the Board of Assessors from 1850 – 1867. Unfortunately, Stephen outlived his family. His wife Catherine died on March 18, 1881 and his adopted daughter Harriet died after a long illness on March 30, 1900. During Harriet's illness, Stephen had to transport her to a Boston hospital. The inconveniences Stephen experienced in visiting her gave him the idea of founding a hospital in Arlington.
Symmes Hospital, Arlington, MA.
In his will, he left his entire estate, including the farm on Old Mystic Street (and personal property) to trustees to establish and forever maintain a hospital in Arlington. The estate inventoried at $30,000. The trustees found the house and location unsuitable to be a hospital, but the town eventually built a hospital elsewhere in Arlington 1912 in his name. Symmes hospital was an important part of Arlington in the 20th century. Many residents in Arlington and neighboring towns depended on the hospital for convenient medical care as well as employment. Symmes was the largest employer in Arlington with over 550 employees. The hospital unfortunately closed in 1992 and was a great loss to the community.
The closing of the Symmes hospital ends the story of the Reed family. History has largely forgotten this ordinary family until now. This exhibit reminds us that despite the Reeds' ordinary circumstances, their story gives insight into the lived experiences of colonial and post-colonial New England.
Below is a gallery of documents relating to Captain Daniel Reed, his children, and the Symmes descendants:
Bill of goods that Captain Daniel Reed owed to "Hall & Tufts" from September 6, 1797 to 1799.
In 1798, Daniel Reed, Seth Frost and Ebenezer Hall sent a notice to inhabitants of the Northwest Precinct in Cambridge (now Arlington) who own real estate. The notice announced that those who owned real estate would be assessed. In the 18th century, members of a town were required to serve in public office. Precinct assessors were required to assess real estate so that those persons could be taxed accordingly.
In 1802, Christopher and Sabra (Reed) Latham (of Groton, CT) sold land in Charlestown (now Arlington) to Daniel Reed for $100.
Peleg and Abigail Freeman (of German Flatts, NY) sold sixty acres of land in Charlestown to Daniel Reed for $100.
After her husband Daniel's death, Elizabeth Reed and her son Daniel wrote up a contract called an Indenture of Lease. The contract leased 25 acres of land to Daniel, including the farm and barn. The contract stated that Elizabeth Reed was to have the house to herself during the remainder of her life.
A list of expenses paid by Daniel Reed, executor of his father, Daniel Reed's, estate. After Daniel's death, his son was appointed administator of the estate and was responsible for paying any expenses regarding his father's death, such as the coffin, funeral and payments to the doctor. Daniel listed everything that he paid for and was reimbursed $398.55.

Oliver Prescott, Judge of the Probate of Wills, appointed to Daniel Reed (eldest son of the late Daniel Reed) two-thirds of his father's estate as stated in the will.
From 1805 to 1806, Captain Daniel Reed bought various items from Thomas Russell. He bought items such as rum, sugar, tea, salt, raisins, biscuits, wine and molasses.
Oliver Prescott, Judge of the Probate of Wills appointed Daniel Reed administrator of the Estate of his father, Daniel Reed (as stated in Daniel Reed's will). As administrator, Daniel was responsible for arranging his father's funeral, settling any debts, paying any expenses and handing out any money or items to family members listed in the will.

The labour minister, Mr Membathisi Mdladlana, expressed this wish while delivering the opening address at the SADC Employment and Labour Sector meeting in Cape Town.
The minister confirmed that poverty continued to threaten to "destroy the core of our social fibre" within the developing world. Employment creation and the reduction of inequality remained major challenges for African governments.
The recent global economic crisis was imposing additional pressure on the developing world, and the WTO negotiations, as states were competing amongst each other for a share of an ever-decreasing global market. Solidarity amongst developing world countries was under threat.
Despite impressive gross domestic product growth figures for sub-Saharan Africa in recent times, governments had failed to reduce poverty levels. The minister indicated that poverty-reduction efforts could not be based solely on the private sector. "The capitalist mode of accumulation has proved to us that we cannot leave the well-being of the people in the hands of the market', he said.
Reference was made to the Expanded Public Works Programme in South Africa. The programme had created over 950 000 temporary work opportunities in the past three years. The social sector was seen as having the potential to "employ large numbers of people in areas of home-based care and early childhood development".
The minister declared that government would seek to promote 'collective forms of ownership" in the economy in order to boost the impact of the various interventions. A key area to be focused on was worker co-operatives.
The minister advocated that SADC develop a viable cooperative movement in accordance with international conventions and best practice.
Similarly, the Decent Work Country Programmes had to be fast-tracked by member states to address poverty and underdevelopment. Decent work programmes had been initiated by the International Labour Organisation in 2000 to promote decent and productive work by combining social and economic objectives.
