Campus Chronicle
Providing prospective interns invaluable insight
By , September 5, 2018
By Nicholas Bainbridge// News Editor
On August 31, a group of seven High Point University students hosted a panel at Cottrell, where they discussed their experiences with internships at major companies and offered guidance to their peers on how they could work towards being accepted for internships in their fields.
Each of the students had plenty of astute observations about the internship process and what behaviors are advantageous for achieving one's goals. Jeremy Thompson, a student who worked with a Greensboro Police patrol unit as part of his internship, discussed the importance of self-motivation and drive.
"You should get up in the morning and push yourself. Don't wait for someone else to do it for you," Thompson advised.
The value of determination was a popular position amongst the panelists, and many of them were explicit in saying how important it is to continue pushing oneself to keep trying and do better.
G. R. Dulac, who interned at the Center for Creative Leadership, an organization dedicated to developing people's communicative and leadership capabilities, explained that getting an internship is not always an easy task. He had previously applied to the organization but was rejected. However, he explained that after focusing on his personal growth and development over the course of a year, he was accepted when he re-applied the following year.
While the chance of failure will always be present, panelist Chris Schorn, who interned at Tesla, stressed that people should stay calm when applying for internships. Schorn said that not everything in your internship search will go as expected, but it doesn't mean you should feel defeated.
"Don't be as nervous as you are," Schorn suggested. "Don't let your letdowns ruin your whole week."
Another kernel of wisdom that the panelists stressed was the relevance of growing one's sphere of influence by forming connections with others in your field. Allison Hayes explained the impact that this had on her story of how she obtained an internship at Caffey Distributing doing sales research.
Hayes said that she was familiar with the brewery business because her father's store worked with such companies to have their products on his establishment's shelves. She drew on what she had observed there to set herself apart, and because of this managed to impress Caffey Distributing enough for them to accept her application.
The panelists were quite proud of their achievements and gained valuable experience from them that may prove useful later in their careers. Lauren Leonard, who interned at Triumvirate Environmental, remarked that her favorite experience was giving a presentation to the CEOs. She explained that while it was a nerve-racking experience, it was a worthwhile one as well.
Some of the projects the students worked on even had a fun aspect to them. Mitch Rissmiller worked with a team of Warner Brothers employees on creating advertisements. One project in particular that he highlighted was the newly released film, "Crazy Rich Asians."
Cassandra Diaz interned at the NBA global partnerships division, which is responsible for managing relationships with sponsors like Nike and Goodyear. She had the daunting task of coordinating the NBA draft.
She explained that while being surrounded by famous athletes like Donovan Mitchell, she had to be professional about the work, and be willing to tell them what they need to do to keep the event running smoothly.
The internships were an irreplaceable experience for the students and have granted them knowledge, connections and tools that will likely be advantageous in the future of their careers.

While very much enjoying the seminar on Martin Holbraad's paper "Can the thing speak?" I have been wishing that we had a bit more ethnographic data to discuss. This link will take you to a set of photographs taken in 1970, during my first fieldwork in Taiwan. In them you will see critical moments in the ritual by which my Daoist master, Tio Se-lian, consecrated the statue of Lao-tzu, which I had purchased for the Puli Hai-kok-tong, Master Tio's storefront temple, partly as payback for letting me hang around and partly because I was eager to get photographs of this particular rite.
As an experiment, you might want to pause a bit and see what the things in the photograph say to you before you read my explanation....
You may have noticed the importance of sunlight, fire, and blood from the comb of a white cock in this ritual. All are, in Chinese terms, filled with Yang, the bright, active, masculine energy associated with gods and deployed to control or exorcise Yin, the dark, passive, feminine energy associated with ghosts. The most straightforward reading of the ritual process as a whole is that, during this consecration, the statue of Lao-tzu is being charged with Yang energy to make it a proper embodiment of the god invited to occupy it. Also, care is being taken to expel any ghosts who might try to slip in instead.
The detail to which I wish to call attention, however, is not in the photographs. It is in the notes I took when discussing the ritual with Master Tio. I asked him what he would do if no white cock were available. You could, he said, use cinnabar dissolved in rice wine to make a red ink instead.
There is a lot going on in this simple-seeming substitution. Cinnabar is mercury sulfide, a mineral long famous for its unusual scarlet red color and mined in the West at least since Roman times as a source of mercury. In China, red is the color associated with Yang. The alcohol in the rice wine also has Yang properties. Adding Yang to Yang in this way makes the red ink a fair substitute for the red blood from the missing white cock.
But that, of course, raises the question, why, if the red ink is an adequate substitute, bother with the white cock in the first place? This is, of course, only one instance of a question that can be raised about all ritual that involves more than what is strictly necessary to achieve the purpose in question. (Why, for instance, to note a more familiar example, do families bother with lavish weddings, when a quiet visit to the registry office or justice of the peace will produce an equally legally binding marriage?)
The answer, I suggest, has to do with considerations similar to those that preoccupy advertising creatives when we move from proposing to executing ideas — when material details, the things on the set, may make all the difference in the world between humdrum and compelling. Perhaps if we took more seriously the connection between ritual and theater....
Comment by John McCreery on January 26, 2011 at 5:00am
Keith, thanks for this extraordinarily rich and interesting comment. To me it recalls an important point about the anthropological study of ritual that informed the choices that shaped my dissertation research. To put the matter bluntly, most anthropological accounts of ritual are based on rare, frequently one-off exposure to the rites in question. There is, then, no solid evidence on which to base a decision whether a particular instance of ritual symbolism is (1) mandatory for the rite in question, (2) a common alternative within an established framework, or (3) an innovation that may or may not be condemned as an error. There is also a strong tendency to not consider these possibilities and rely on the preconception that ritual is, as the dictionary puts it, the repetition of set forms.
I was lucky that, by spending a year and half trailing around behind my Daoist master, I got to see dozens of rituals, the simpler ones frequently several times a day, and was also in a position to pose questions like the one that pointed me to the problem of the red ink versus the white cock. I could, thus, write with greater confidence about variations in symbolism that my master's repertoire demonstrated.
Even so, I was shocked when, visiting a fellow disciple of the master, an elder brother in the art, I found that the way in which he performed one of the rites with which I thought I was familiar in a way visibly different from the way I had seen our master perform it.
That led to the writing of a piece called "The Parting of the Ways" which appeared in the Bulletin of the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica. In it I reflected on the relationship between masters and disciples and noted that in the Chinese context, no master of any craft will teach his disciples everything he knows (this applies to truck mechanics as well as Daoist magicians). On the one hand, the Master has to share something of what he knows to attract and keep disciples. On the other, to share everything he know would transform them into rivals. The outcome resembles the transmission of love magic described by Malinowski in The Sexual Life of Savages. Disciples acquire fragments of traditions from their masters, pick up other bits by observing what other practitioners do, assemble their own versions of rites and try them out empirically, settling on what seems to work for them.
This does not mean that either master or disciple are free to do whatever they like. Their clients have expectations about what proper rituals should look like. These are, however, like genre conventions in art or literature. Certain forms, let's call them the grammar of the ritual, have to be preserved for a rite to be acceptable. There are also expectations that affect the appropriateness of symbols; there is, in effect, an established symbolic vocabulary and conventions that affect usage. These, however, allow a good deal of freedom in how even rites in the same broad category are performed. There is, moreover, no established Church, no licensing body empowered to limit that freedom.
There is nothing very surprising here once one frees oneself from the dictionary definition of ritual as the repetition of set forms and allows oneself to consider the relationship of ritual to poetry, theater or the arts. Remix, recombination, variations in staging and performance that may challenge but not go too far in violating established expectations are the usual state of affairs in the absence of state-backed institutions with the power to impose uniformity. (In that particular paper, I had found some useful sources in the sociology of professions and noted, for example, the state of 18th and 19th century medicine, which remained largely catch as catch can and crudely empirical, until the development of teaching hospitals, medical licensing boards, legal sanctions against those claim to be doctors without the right credentials.)
Given this overall framework as a starting point and careful focus on systematic data collection, there remains a lot of interesting work to be done in the study of ritual. But so long as the ethnography of ritual is confined to occasional examples encountered on the fly while focused on other topics, there will not, I fear, be much progress beyond what people like Turner, Geertz and Levi-Strauss have already taught us. The devil is in the details—and no angels to be found in the realms of high abstraction.
Comment by Keith Hart on January 25, 2011 at 10:42am
In 1967 I had the chance to witness the installation of the senior earth priest in Tongo, the main Tallensi village. Meyer Fortes had done the same thing in 1934 and had written up a major article on installation ceremonies featuring that event. I had that written account very much in mind while attending the ritual. Fortes made a big deal about a young girl splashing flour water from a calabash on the new priest's back as an act of purification symbolised by the child's innocence as well as by the white flour water. At a similar moment in my ritual I saw a hulking young man douse the priest with white liquid from a calabash.
Afterwards I asked a number of the participants about this. The family of the new earthpriest said that only the flour water mattered, not the age and gender of the person throwing it. The family of the old earth priest said this was just one example of how the new people were ignorant of custom.
I asked Fortes about it. He said the ceremony happened soon after he arrived in Tongo. He didn't speak the language yet and he refused to take his clothes off, so he stayed outside and reconstructed the ritual from what he was told. In any case, what he saw seemed pretty chaotic (an experience I shared).
At about the same time, the chief died and I heard (in the greatest secrecy) several accounts of his burial at night. My informants were all peripheral to the main ritual. They agreed that a red/brown cow had been slaughtered and the skin placed in the grave for the dead chief to lie on. It has to be red/brown they said. I also managed to get eye-witness accounts of previous chiefly burials including one half a century before when my informant was a kid. Each informant had only seen one burial, since these were not public events. Each insisted that the colour of the cow skin was vital. Each cow was a different colour. I concluded that they all thought the colour mattered, but no-one knew what the colour should be.
My last example is a sacrifice to the ancestors made by the son of the old earth priest who tended to be the master of ceremonies on these occasions, a fact that he explained by having grown up following his father everywhere as an apprentice to the earth priest's craft. He was accompanied by me and two younger brothers. This ritual took place very rarely at long intervals, unlike others that were more regular. At one stage a brother was supposed to slit a cock's throat and spill the blood over an upturned calabash, which he did without much control over the blood. "Not like that, you fool!" shouted his brother, "don't you know that you have to spill seven drops of blood on the calabash?" I have no idea whether he was making it up or had a vague memory of his grandfather, but it sure established his control over the form of that ritual.
After these and similar experiences, I decided to leave ritual to the experts and concentrate on economic life. As George Carlin indicates, our own special brand of nasal spray matters a lot to each of us, but its wider social significance is less obvious. Ritual as theatre, yes, some mileage in that, but didn't Turner and Geertz get there first, not to mention Aeschylus and the Duke of Wellington?

The Qur'an is a revelation from Allah (The God), the Almighty. Allah has revealed many books to His prophets and messengers, and Quran is the last and the final book from Allah. Other books that were revealed by Allah are Torah (to Moses), Injeel (New Testament to Jesus), Zaboor (Pslams to David) etc. But these books are not in their original form any more. People have added or deleted or modified many texts in these books. Quran is the only book that is preserved until today as it was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago. Quran is the most important book in a Muslim's life. We, Muslims, seek guidance and answers to our problems from Quran and another collection of books called Hadith.
We, Muslims, recite from the Quran (in Arabic) during our daily prayers. Quran (the Arabic version) is the speech of Allah.

A few weeks ago, the most astonishing thing happened to me. I received an email from someone who used to listen to my radio show when I was in college. We never met, but he used to call in to my show from time to time. Last week, he looked me up online and emailed to find out if I had a list of songs I used to play on the air.
Classes, hanging out with my roommate, spending time with my girlfriend, and college radio.
I won't lie; my college days were filled with a lot of luck. I had the greatest roommate a guy could hope for. We spent all four years living together, and he was a great friend. No, better than that. I loved him like a brother.
I was equally lucky at love. I met my first girlfriend on my first day on campus and we dated for two wonderful years. I met my next girlfriend a few months later, and she eventually became my fiance. Though we never did marry, we were together for over three years. I will always be thankful for my time with each of those women.
I was no less lucky when it came to college radio. My college had an FM station and I got involved at the beginning of my freshman year. By the time I graduated, I'd served as a music director, news director and twice as general manager.
I usually keep these playlists down to ten or eleven songs, but that's hard to do when there's so much ground to cover, so it's a double this week.
P.S. On a totally unrelated note - Happy Memorial Day!

Is it possible to have a list of sold items, price and the supplier name. such that we can generate invoice to charge 5% of the sale ?
I can see the sold item list in Payment, but it doesnot show Item & supplier name.
Any update on the progress of this idea?
there is the soloution for paypal from paypal. you can split the payments.
will be a big mess for the admin.
i understand that it is complex but maybe the payment should stop at us and forward automatic to the seller minus the fee?
i think that the flow should be a little differ.
for example the products cost 100 euro and the fee for admin is 3% .
so just 97 euro will pass direct to the seller and 3 euro will pass to the admin.
i am sure that there is a solution for that double transaction.
This commission concept would be very valuable for me!

Narmada dam meet deadlocked; Modi chides UPA
| Published: Saturday, April 15, 2006, 15:06 [IST]
New Delhi, Apr 15: A crucial meeting of the Narmada Control Authority (NCA) to review the height of the Sardar Sarovar Dam and rehabilitation measures for the oustees remained deadlocked with the BJP-ruled states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan opposing the Centre's proposal for lowering the dam height, which was supported by Maharashtra.
Talking to reporters after the nearly three-hour-long meeting, presided over by Water Resources Minister Saifuddin Soz and attended by Environment Minister A Raja and the chief ministers of four Narmada co-basin states, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Centre for proposing the lowering of the dam height from 121.92 metres.
''The issue will now not be referred to the Prime Minister for the final view as the matter was deadlocked at the NCA meeting itself,'' Mr Modi told reporters, who jostled to get his views on the dam controversy. He also claimed that three-fourths of the co-basin states were in favour of retaining the proposed dam height, which had the sanction of the Supreme Court, while only Maharashtra ''played politics'' by siding with the Centre.
Mr Modi also warned that the Centre would be responsible for any backlash against the attempts to thwart this development scheme and enormous financial loss that the four states would have to suffer.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan concurred with his Gujarat counterpart's contention, merely stating that the meeting remained deadlocked.
However, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia and Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh refused to say anything to reporters who stood outside Shram Shakti Bhavan, the headquarters of the Water Resources Ministry.
Mr Modi said the Centre came out with a distinct proposal at todays meeting to lower the proposed height of the dam, which was initially fixed at 110.64 metre and later increased to 121.92 meter. Among the four resolutions that came up at the meeting was the one favouring the construction of the dam at the proposed height as well as simultaneous undertaking of the rehabilitation measures for the dam oustees, which also remained inconclusive.
Launching a blistering attack on Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) leader Medha Patkar, whose indefinite fast against the dam entered the 18th day today, Mr Modi said, ''The Centre has lost the courage to face up the agitation and is acting under the NBA pressure.'' Because of this, the construction as well as rehabilitaion work will suffer, he said, adding that over Rs 45 crore had so far been spent on the ressettlement measures.
''The Centre's posture is very unfortunate as it amounts to a deviation from the Supreme Court award which stipulates that the dam construction and resttlement work should go together.'' Mr Modi was more scathing against his Maharashtra counterpart, saying he chose to act under his party's whip, ignoring the fact that the construction of the dam by June would generate 1450 MW of power.
''His politics will keep Mumbai in darkness and also deprive the three other states of benefits of drinking watr and irrigation facilities accruing from the dam,'' he said.
Mr Modi gave ample hints of launching an agitation against the Centre's position on the dam. ''We will continue to exert pressure on the Centre in a democratic and peaceful manner. If any untoward incident takes place, the onus will be on the Centre.'' The agitation in Gujarat has, in fact, already started with a group of youths burning the psters and effigies of cine actor Aamir Khan, who has lent his support to the anti-dam agitation.

The Embargo length (months) must not exceed the stated maxima for the target REF panel.
===Other criteria===
All other criteria are determined to be already met or not necessary to explicitly check at the software level.
==Using the REF Compliance Checker plugin==
The test (beta) version of the REF Compliance Checker was designed to be self-contained and should not, therefore, affect the operation of your existing repository. The current version integrates with the DatesDatesDates and RIOXX2 plugins. At a later point in time there will be further integration between the REF Compliance Checker and the established REF plugin, but further details are required from the Funding Bodies before that can be done.
The REF Compliance Checker is able to produce reports showing by year which items are eligible for the REF. In order to enable this feature, the Generic Reporting Framework will need to be installed from the Bazaar (Generic Reporting Framework version 1.0.0+). This same package is also required for the RIOXX2 plugin.
===Installation===
The REF Compliance Checker plugin is available via the EPrints Bazaar. This is accessed from the "System Tools" tab on the Admin screen. A Bazaar package is normally installed by clicking the "Install" button next to a package displayed on the "Available" tab.
===Changes to the workflow===
Once installed, a REF CC tab will appear in the workflow.

5.2 Changes to the workflow
The REF Compliance Checker plugin for EPrints has been developed to help your institution comply with the Open Access policy of the UK HE Funding Bodies. The key points of the policy are shown below; the full details may be accessed from the HEFCE website: Policy for open access in the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework: Updated July 2015.
The policy states that, to be eligible for submission to the post-2014 REF, authors' outputs must have been deposited in an institutional or subject repository. Deposited material should be discoverable, and free to read and download, for anyone with an internet connection. The requirement applies only to journal articles and conference proceedings with an International Standard Serial Number. It will not apply to monographs, book chapters, other long-form publications, working papers, creative or practice-based research outputs, or data.
The policy applies to research outputs accepted for publication after 1 April 2016. Institutions are being strongly encouraged to implement systems to enable them to meet this deadline as soon as possible.
The policy allows repositories to respect embargo periods set by publications. Where a publication specifies an embargo period, authors can comply with the policy by making a 'closed' deposit. Closed deposits must be discoverable to anyone with an Internet connection before the full text becomes available for read and download (which will occur after the embargo period has elapsed). If still under embargo at the submission date of the next REF, closed deposits will be admissible to the REF.
The output must have been deposited as soon after the point of acceptance as possible, and no later than three months after this date (as given in the acceptance letter or e-mail from the publication to the author).
There are a number of exceptions to the various requirements that will be allowed by the policy. These exceptions cover circumstances where deposit was not possible, or where open access to deposited material could not be achieved within the policy requirements. These exceptions will allow institutions to achieve near-total compliance, but the post-2014 REF will also include a mechanism for considering any other exceptional cases where an output could not otherwise meet the requirements.
The REF Compliance Checker for EPrints
The purpose of the REF Compliance Checker is to smooth the process by which EPrints-using institutions can establish in a straightforward fashion whether an article or conference proceeding with an ISSN produced by a member of their organisation is eligible for the post-2014 REF. To do this effectively, the checker requires some metadata describing key facts such as the date of acceptance and the version type. The relevant metadata need to be checked against a set of logical rules that faithfully represent the requirements laid down in the Open Access policy of the UK Higher Education Funding Bodies.
In outline:
The REF Compliance Checker plugin for EPrints provides a straightforward means by which you can check whether an article or conference proceeding in your EPrints repository is eligible for the post-2014 REF.
It does this by checking relevant metadata in your repository against the Open Access policy of the UK Higher Education Funding Bodies.
The developers of the plugin worked closely with HEFCE to ensure that it is fit for purpose. A beta version of the plugin has been tested by a number of UK universities prior to general release in early January 2016.
Jisc funded the development of the REF Compliance Checker plugin and it is freely available to all EPrints users. You may acquire the plugin from Github or the EPrints Bazaar.
The REF Compliance Checker plugin integrates with the RIOXX2 plugin for EPrints and the DatesDatesDates plugin. In addition, if you wish to benefit from the reports generated by the plugin, you will need to have installed the Generic Reporting Framework.
If your EPrints repository is hosted by a third party service provider, you may need to ask them to install the plugin for you since they may not permit the self-installation of plugins.
Metadata and terminology
Some new terminology has been developed to enable the plugin to perform its compliance tests effectively. These are listed below:
Date of first compliant deposit (FCD)
An item will be considered a compliant deposit if (a) it is in the Review or the Live Archive area of the repository and (b) it has the Accepted or Published version of the full text manuscript attached. The FCD metadata reflects the date that the item first met this criteria - for example when the item was submitted to the review section of the repository by the researcher, or when the accepted version of the full text was subsequently uploaded by an editor to the live side of the repository.
Once the Date of FCD is set, subsequent changes to the item will not affect it. The Date of FCD will be copied to any new versions created using the "New Version" option. The new version will effectively "inherit" the same Date of FCD as the previous version. The behaviour of the Date of FCD field in different circumstances is outlined in the table below.
Action Result
Researcher makes compliant deposit Date of FCD set when researcher clicks "Deposit Now"
Researcher makes non-compliant deposit; editor subsequently uploads Accepted version of full text during review to make deposit compliant Date of FCD set when editor uploads Accepted version
Compliant deposit in Live Archive - editor augments item by attaching the Published version Date of FCD unchanged
Compliant deposit in Live Archive - editor replaces Accepted version of full text with Published version Date of FCD unchanged
Compliant deposit in Live Archive - researcher selects "New Version" option, attaches the Published version of the full text to the new version and deposits it Date of FCD copied to new version
Version of first compliant deposit (FCD)
The Version of FCD automatically records the version of the full text that was present when the Date of FCD was recorded.
Version(s) present Version of FCD
Accepted only AM
Published only VoR
Accepted and published VoR
These version terms are adopted from the RIOXX V2 Application Profile.
Once the Version of FCD is set, subsequent changes to the item will not affect it. The Version of FCD will be copied to any new versions created using the "New Version" option - the new version will effectively "inherit" the same Version of FCD as the previous version.
Date of first compliant Open Access (FOA)
The Date of FOA automatically records the date that a compliant deposit was first made Open Access - that is, the date that the Accepted or Published version of the full text attached to the deposit was first made publicly available. For example this could be the date that the item was made live (discoverable) or when an embargo period expired.
Once the Date of FOA is set, subsequent changes to the item will not affect it. The Date of FOA will be copied to any new versions created using the "New Version" option - the new version will effectively "inherit" the same Date of FOA as the previous version.
Date of acceptance
The date that the item was first accepted for publication.
Date of first online publication
The date that the item was first published online
Embargo length
The length (in months) of any embargo affecting access to the Accepted or Published version. Note that the Open Access policy stipulates acceptable embargo lengths.
Target REF panel
The panel that the item is likely to be submitted to in the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework.
Any deposit, access, technical or other exceptions that apply to the item.
How the OA Compliance Checker works
Using the metadata described above, the OA Compliance Checker plugin carries out a number of tests to determine compliance. These tests are carried out whenever the item is changed, so the updated compliance status is immediately reflected.
Overall compliance
To be compliant, an item must meet at least one of the following conditions:
The deposit, discovery and access requirements are met.
There is a deposit exception.
There is an access exception and the deposit and discovery requirements are met.
There is a technical exception.
There is an 'other' exception.
Deposit requirements
The Date of first compliant deposit must be set (i.e. the item is a compliant deposit).
The Date of first compliant deposit must be no later than three months after the Date of acceptance. If the Date of acceptance is before 1st April 2017, Date of first compliant deposit must be no later than three months after the Date of first online publication.
Discovery requirements
The item must be in the Live Archive.
Access requirements
To be access compliant, all of the following conditions must be met.
If no embargo applies, the Date of first compliant Open Access must be less than one month after the Date of first compliant deposit. Otherwise, the Date of first compliant Open Access must be less than one month after the embargo expiry date (Date of first online publication + Embargo length (months).

"There was no escape. My grief felt like a deep, thick fog that constantly surrounded me." On May 1 2015, Sheryl Sandberg – business leader, philanthropist and COO at Facebook – found her husband dead on the floor of the gym in their holiday villa in Mexico. An autopsy revealed that Dave Goldberg, CEO of SurveyMonkey, had died suddenly of a cardiac arrhythmia, caused by coronary artery disease.
His death was a complete shock, and one that left Sheryl and Dave's two children without a father. In the days and weeks that followed, Sandberg found herself wondering how she could go on and find the strength for herself and her children.
She got in touch with Adam Grant, a close friend who is a psychologist, professor and best-selling author. What he told her changed her perspective.
Revealing how to become resilient is the aim of their new co-authored book, Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy.
If that sounds optimistic, make no mistake that Sandberg is brutally honest about the despair and unimaginable pain of bereavement. She makes no pretense that Option B is easy to master.
Throughout the book, her personal insights of facing adversity provide candid examples supporting Adam Grant's professional insights. Part grief memoir, part self-help book, Option B explores her journey through bereavement with the expert guidance of psychological theory.
But Option B isn't just about Sandberg's grief. The types of adversity explored by her and Grant include serious illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters and war. From meeting Pakistani Nobel prize-winner Malala Yousafzai to discuss her recovery after being shot by the Taliban, to examining how survivors of the famous Andes flight disaster found the will to survive for 72 days, Grant and Sandberg tackle almost every form of adversity to show how people can overcome the worst.
It's an ambitious book that attempts to look broadly at all forms of trauma and hardship, and find out what survivors of such hardship have in common.
Beyond the pages of the book, Grant and Sandberg have set up a complementary online resource, OptionB.org. Whether it's you or someone close to you facing adversity, OptionB.org brings together useful resources to help. Sandberg has announced that all of her profits from the sale of Option B will help fund this non-profit initiative.
From personal stories to expert advice on coping with hardship, OptionB.org aims to help its users build resilience to cope with what life throws at them. It also helps connect people through Facebook groups, depending on the particular type of adversity they are facing, from grief and loss to divorce and family problems.
Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy is out now, published by Knopf, $25.95.

29 Most Enchanting TV Witches, From Samantha Stephens to Sabrina Spellman (Photos)
Multiple Sabrinas, actually
Jennifer Maas | October 31, 2020 @ 11:26 AM
ABC/CBS TV Studios/FX
ABC/CBS TV Studios/Netflix
It's finally Halloween, which means now is the time to once again celebrate pop culture's witchy women in all their pointy hatted glory. While films like "Hocus Pocus" and "Practical Magic" are packed with wicked ladies, in our opinion, TV witches still reign supreme. Check out TheWrap's gallery to find the small screen's 29 most iconic female spell-casters. Who knows, maybe you'll get a great idea for this year's last-minute costume from this list of magical ladies.
Also Read: Fall TV 2019: Premiere Dates for New and Returning Shows (Photos)
Samantha Stephens, "Bewitched" - Is there a more legendary TV witch than Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery)? Not according to her husband Darrin, who says she's "one witch in a million."
CBS TV Studios
Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews, "Charmed" - The Charmed Ones charmed viewers with their sisterly love while fighting the forces of evil for eight seasons, three with eldest sister Prue (Shannen Doherty) and five with half-sister Paige (Rose McGowan), who reunited with her siblings after Prue's death.
Willow Rosenberg, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - Best friend to Buffy Summers, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) developed her magical abilities over several seasons, eventually becoming so powerful she almost ended the world once.
Bonnie Bennett, "The Vampire Diaries" - Bonnie (Kat Graham) was a truly powerful witch who spent a ton of her time sacrificing her own happiness to help her friends. But by the end of the series, her full potential had been realized, as she managed to save, well, the world.
Alex Russo, "Wizards of Waverly Place" - By far the best of the Russo siblings, Alex (Selena Gomez) was a fun, confident teenage girl who was the shining star in her family of wizards.
Sabrina Spellman, "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" - The original teenage witch, Melissa Joan Hart's version of the Archie Comics character is a staple of '90s culture.
Sabrina Spellman, "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" - In 2018, Kiernan Shipka took up the role of Sabrina for Netflix's darker take on the character and put her own spin on the spunky, half-mortal witch.
Prudence Night, "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" - Keeping it in the "Sabrina" universe, the leader of The Weird Sisters and the daughter of Father Blackwood, Prudence (Tati Gabrielle) is a force to be reckoned with in the Church of Night.
Melisandre, "Game of Thrones" - The Red Woman's (Carice van Houten) prophecies weren't always right, causing more than a few problems for our heroes. But she did bring Jon Snow back from the dead and helped Arya kill the Night King, so she made up for all that in the end.
Regina/The Evil Queen, "Once Upon a Time" - Regina (Lana Parrilla) was a wicked witch, but by the time the ABC fantasy series came to a close, she had more than redeemed herself for all her previous wrongdoings and got to enjoy a happy ending. Plus, no one said being evil would prevent you from making this list. In fact, some of our favorite TV witches were bad.
Saban Entertainment
Rita Repulsa, "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" - Speaking of baddies, Rita Repulsa (Machiko Soga) was a major thorn in the side of the Power Rangers and probably appeared in the nightmares of many '90s children. Seriously, that cackle is seared into our brains.
Witchiepoo, "H.R. Pufnstuf" - Another kids' show with another wicked witch who managed to steal our hearts with her goofy antics.
Margo Hanson, "The Magicians" - A high-spirited magician, Margo (Summer Bishil) is known for her gossiping, competitive nature and drama, drama, drama.
Morticia Addams, "The Addams Family" - Before Anjelica Huston took on the role for the big screen, Carolyn Jones portrayed the character in the 1960s TV series, giving us a Gothic goddess to aspire to.
Fiona Goode, "American Horror Story: Coven" - Possibly Jessica Lange's greatest role of all time and definitely her best "American Horror Story" character due to her fierce wardrobe and even fiercer attitude toward keeping her title as the coven's Supreme Witch. Too bad she was damned to hell in the end.
Marie Laveau, "American Horror Story" - While we're in the "AHS," fam Angela Bassett's voodoo queen was a fan-favorite character from "Coven" (Season 3) who made a badass return on last year's crossover installment, "Apocalypse."
Tabitha Lenox, "Passions" - Tabitha (Juliet Mills) never got her revenge on all of Harmony, but we still remember her as the greatest character on the weirdest soap opera there ever was.
Angelique Collins, "Dark Shadows" - One of the darkest characters on "Dark Shadows," Angelique's (Lara Parker) love-hate relationship with Barnabas Collins fueled the majority of the show's wild plot.
Marge Simpson, Patty and Selma Bouvier, "The Simpsons," "Treehouse Of Horror VIII" - Of all "The Simpsons" Halloween specials, this one is our favorite, since it gave us a green Marge and her wicked sisters.
Queenie, "American Horror Story" - A human voodoo doll, Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) had one of the most unique powers in her coven.
Rowena, "Supernatural" - Even though Rowena (Ruth Connell) has screwed Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) over more times than they've died (long story) they forgive her, and we forgive her, over and over because she's just so fun. And helpful, too -- sometimes.
Adalind Schade, "Grimm" - Claire Coffee's Hexenbiest had a haunting face and a killer personality.
BBC One/Starz
Elizabeth Woodville, "The White Queen" - It was rumored that Elizabeth Woodville practiced witchcraft and Rebecca Ferguson's portrayal of the White Queen on the BBC One/Starz series certainly upped our suspicions about the royal's magical abilities.
Fiji Cavanaugh, "Midnight, Texas" - One of the most memorable characters from the short-lived NBC drama, Fiji (Parisa Fitz-Henley) is a fun, free spirit if ever there was one.

The Regional Technical Committee meeting of SUSTAIN in Kigali, held in September 2018, was organized to disseminate the results from the analyses of data from surveys, monitoring, and focus group discussions on SUSTAIN and VISTA–Tanzania projects. These analyses were conducted to provide insight into the implementation of the projects and also to shed light on the likely reasons for the observations made in the quantitative analysis. Results from field discussions with CIP partners – local and international NGOs, local government institutions, national and international organizations, the private sector, and donors – were also shared.

The solicitors chased the vendors' solicitors today. We are still waiting for the draft contracts and supporting documents. The mortgage lender is sending us our mortgage offer. Something is happening with the house buying which is good to know.
I did my daily movement of walking into town; achieving over 10,000 steps. I took one of the charity bags to the charity shop. Beforehand I added a pink jacket that was too big for me.
My mum and stepdad treated me to a meal out this evening. It was lovely. It's the first proper one as a trio since moving in April. Finding the time to have one-on-one family time can be difficult. As much time as possible needs to be spent with loved ones.

Below is a talk from Dan Pink given at RSA, illustrated by RSA about the hidden truth behind what motivates us. Surprisingly or not, money alone doesn't make the world go round. But the question is to what degree are you motivated by the various factors? I believe some are more motivated by money while others are more motivated to have a purpose. Where do you stand? Check the vid and article below.
Excerpt from Core77, "In the video above, author Daniel Pink cites 50 years worth of behavioral science research demonstrating that money is only a motivating factor to a point for getting good results. After that people seek autonomy, mastery and purpose to be fully productive and indeed happy."
Further discussion between Clay Shirky and Daniel Pink, who both have books on the topic, on Wired Mag.


Charles Everett Bean, also known as "Bo" to his family and close friends, 73, of Rossville, passed away on Saturday, February 9, 2019. He was a lifelong resident of Rossville, and attended Philadelphia Baptist Church. Charles retired from U.S. Pipe and Foundry in 2004 after more than 37 years. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother, who will be greatly missed.
Charles was preceded in death by his parents, Velda P. Harris & Charlie M. Harris and sister, Velda Ann Britton.
He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Lois Hale Bean; children, Amanda M. (Bill) Barclay and Charles Nathan (Diana Peardon) Bean; sisters, Marlyn (Johnny) Pike and Susie (Mickey Brock) Phillips; grandchildren, Kenzie and Becca; and several nieces and nephews.
The funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 13 in the funeral home chapel, with Pastor Rob Borders officiating. Interment will follow in Lakewood Memory Gardens, South. The family will receive friends from noon-8 p.m. on Tuesday and prior to the service on Wednesday.
Arrangements by W.L. Wilson & Sons Funeral Home-Ft. Oglethorpe.


Disclaimer: If you don't know anything about voice acting and Troy Baker in particular, you probably won't enjoy this short story to the full extent that it can be enjoyed. All the context you need to have is that Troy Baker was a small time voice actor who hit it big and does less roles for obscure projects.
Troy Baker lies in his bed but he can't sleep. Or he doesn't want to. He's not sure yet. All he knows is that he came home after recording lines for the protagonist of the latest Call of Duty game, and that means that sleeping will be hell. He did voices for the new Call of Duty game, so that means he is going to pay him a visit again. He does not question it, he just knows that it is a natural consequence of his actions of the day, just as it is a natural consequence for his body to seek rest. He hates the lack of control, he wishes he could either stop getting visits from him all together and just sleep, or that he could somehow will his body to not sleep at all. He chuckles to himself, remembering a character he once played with a similar dilemma, but he steels himself; determined not to succumb to his tiredness. But it's no use, and without even realizing when or how, Troy Baker closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
I didn't want it to turn out this way. I didn't want them to know of my most intimate smell. It happened so suddenly and I wasn't thinking so I let it out. But I knew almost immediately after it happened that I could have stopped it, that if I clenched hard enough… No. It's best not to think about "what if's" and "if only's". Not now, especially not now after what happened. But before it all went down (or it all came out rather) we were all laughing and having a good time, sharing jokes, partaking in the creation of good memories. I remember thinking about that piece of bread I left in the toaster back home, wondering if my mom would eat it herself or set it aside for no one in particular. I was in the midst of arriving at my conclusion when suddenly it happened. An eruption. I expelled the most noxious gas I've ever smelt, a rancid odor far beyond my imagination. And the sound… Oh that sickening sound. Almost like a dying banshee, moaning towards the waning moon, my flatulence sounded more like a ghostly wail than any sort of natural bodily emission. There were 6 of us cramped in that minivan, all moments before excited about the Halloween party we all hoped to attend, now overcome with the most terrible sensation we have ever experienced: The Smell of my Shame.

Blockbusting 2001 fails to shine
Pearl Harbor: "One of the worst of the summer movies"
New York entertainment correspondent Tom Brook looks back at 2001's movies and chooses his tips for Oscar success in 2002.
The bean counters at the major studios are salivating over the year's record breaking box office but the majority of critics and a large swathe of the film-making community have been far from satisfied with Hollywood in 2001.
Click here to see Tom Brook's Top 10 movies of 2001
Many of the big budget films resembled dull unoriginal market-tested products that short-changed the audience and failed to live up to the hype.
The internet created a more homogenised world market for Hollywood films
There were, however, some notable exceptions where gifted and determined directors succeeded in delivering true artistry.
Peter Jackson gave us unforgettable awesome cinema in Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring and Baz Luhrmann created an inspiring visual and musical feast with Moulin Rouge that few will forget.
Moulin Rouge: A rare gem
Among the big studio movies, Shrek was one of the few bright moments in a lacklustre year.
It was a well-written animation that reached a mass audience by offering intelligent, witty and mildly subversive entertainment that appealed to adults and children alike.
In the US, it was the summer months that really brought out the worst of Hollywood. The Mummy Returns, the first of the big sequels, was followed by other dull remakes that included Jurassic Park 3 and American Pie 2. They all made big money but each seemed jaded.
This year also saw an increasing blitzkrieg at the box office of "front-loading" new releases.
This has meant opening each new big budget picture as widely as possible to capitalise on its first weekend of business.
Picture after picture would open with impressive revenues only to find that the box office had taken a nosedive in the second week.
Planet of the Apes: Close release dates around the world
For the audience it meant one heavily promoted juggernaut after another demanding instant consumption, before it was rapidly discarded in favour of the next incoming potential blockbuster.
It was a brutal marketplace exceedingly hostile to films that required nurturing and time to build a following.
The whole world began to participate in this frenzy with an international release schedule in 2001 operating much more in lock-step with US domestic openings.
This was partly the result of the spread of the internet, which created a more homogenised world market for Hollywood films.
But the studios also moved more towards uniform international release dates to reduce the window of opportunity for film piracy.
Shrek: Animated hit for all age groups
With a big summer movie like Planet of The Apes opening almost simultaneously around the world, the market for distributing illicit recordings is sharply reduced if the picture is already playing in local cinemas.
One of the worst of the summer movies was Pearl Harbor, a silly World War II romance set against the backdrop of the surprise attack by Japan in 1941 on the US Pacific Fleet in Hawaii.
The humans who perished, as well as those who survived the US's day of infamy, were given short shrift by this crass big budget entertainment that played out like an adolescent melodrama.
The year 2001, of course, had its own day of infamy on 11 September when the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon traumatised the nation and left every US institution, including Hollywood, in a state of shock.
Despite a lot of hand-wringing the attacks seemed to bring few major changes to the film world. Some movies with subject matter deemed inappropriate were re-scheduled for a later release.
The image of the World Trade Center was edited out of two romantic dramas. Movies with combat themes, Behind Enemy Lines and Black Hawk Down, were brought forward partly to capitalise on the country's patriotic fervour.
Harry Potter: Banking on a sense of family
Film industry executives huddled with the Bush administration to discuss ways it could contribute to the war effort, raising concern in some quarters that Washington was trying to control content.
But the full impact of the attacks may well be felt at some later point as new screenplays work their way through the pipeline.
Whether or not it was a coincidence, family films did remarkably well in the wake of 11 September. Disney's animation Monsters, Inc has been a huge hit, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone surpassed all box office expectations.
In many ways Harry Potter defined movie-making in 2001. It was a film made to create a franchise, which it has done. But it was a safe, cautious strategic effort designed to bloat corporate coffers rather than create movie magic.
In this respect, it is seen by many as emblematic of Hollywood in 2001. The film industry is now more than ever driven by a corporate culture that worships market research, young audiences, safe ideas, hype, promotion, and the bottom line.
In a year when mediocre storytelling was all-pervasive 2001 yielded too many films that were only saved by strong performances, but at least we had those to cherish.
Russell Crowe was outstanding portraying a brilliant mathematician battling schizophrenia in Ron Howard's A Beautiful Mind. Will Smith seemed to become Muhammad Ali in the film Ali, giving a really exquisite and graceful performance.
Russell Crowe: Deserves another Oscar
It was also a very good year for George Clooney who brought Ocean's 11 its charisma and cool quotient.
But the actor who deserves most praise in 2001 is Jim Broadbent. He had a busy slate playing Bridget's father in Bridget Jones's Diary, the flamboyant proprietor in Moulin Rouge and Iris Murdoch's husband, John Bayley, opposite Judi Dench in Iris.
Broadbent is one of the most adept and underrated actors working in the movies today and deserves to win an Oscar nomination, as do Russell Crowe and Will Smith.
When it came to actresses, Sissy Spacek expertly played a grieving mother in the drama In The Bedroom, communicating masses of emotion with great subtlety.
The veteran actress is also a favourite to earn an Oscar nomination. Another memorable portrayal came from Charlotte Rampling in the little-seen French film Under The Sand.
It's the story of a woman grieving for her dead husband, and Rampling was exquisite - she gets better as she gets older. But Nicole Kidman really emerges as the leading lady of 2001 after star turns which electrified Moulin Rouge and provided the backbone of the spine chilling The Others.
With the Golden Globe nominations now out and the various critics groups making their end of the year picks, the broad contours of the Oscars race are beginning to emerge.
Lord of the Rings: Contender for best movie
The films most likely to be in contention include A Beautiful Mind, Ali, Lord of The Rings, and Moulin Rouge.
Todd Field's first-time feature In The Bedroom, Robert Altman's ensemble murder mystery Gosford Park and Ridley Scott's powerful Black Hawk Down could also net nominations.
This year, Hollywood would really like an American feelgood epic that it could rally Oscar voters around.
But no such picture exists, and with no trophy-snagging juggernaut like Titanic or modern classic along the lines of American Beauty in sight, predicting the Oscars at this stage of the game remains a rather risky business.

Growth of the South Korean biomass power in 2013 has since boosted the production of wood pellets in Vietnam and to-date, Vietnamese producers are one of the key leaders for the supply to the fast-expanding North Asia – Japan, South Korea and China.
In October 2017, it has been reported that more than 800 biomass power projects, 12.4GW capacity, have been approved in Japan. With current supply from domestic supply, Canada, Vietnam, USA & South East Asia, this sheer number of projects still sparks questions on biomass fuel availability and sustainability, from, to feed when all these capacity come on-stream.
South Korea's wood pellet demand is also expected to increase, given the rise in new biomass-consuming facilities scheduled to come on line in the next few years. Imports could reach over 2 million tons this year as utilities continue to transition to a broader use of biomass.
Meanwhile, robust industrialization and growth in Vietnam has fueled a surging demand for electricity. Electricity consumption from industrial and residential, is expecting to grow by 8 - 12 percent annually through 2020. And to meet this demand, additional capacity of 4,000 MW per year, from now through 2020, will be required. The recent revised Power Master Plan VII (towards 2030) emphasized renewable energy capacity growth in wind, solar and biomass power, with targets to increase the percentage of renewable energy power to 7% percent by 2020 and 10 percent by 2030.
CMT invites you to attend the Asia Renewables 2018 – 4th Biomass & BioEnergy Asia on 17 – 19 January 2018. Co-venue with Vietnam Renewable Power, attendees will hear from a carefully selected speakers-panel of key officials, wood pellets producers, biomass buyers and trade, who share insights on demand and supply, sustainability and economics.

"Helped us focus our biomass business with a very Asian approach towards operations and strategies."
Victorias Milling Company (VMC), Philippines' largest sugar refinery, is setting up a 64 MW biomass power plant in Victorias City, Negros Occidental. The Biomass Cogeneration Project is expected to be ready by end of 2017.
It is built in the 200-hectare VMC headquarters and is designed to produce power not only for the refinery but also for the national grid.
VMC is hopeful that it will be able to export 25 MW of its generated power to National Grid Corporation of the Philippines. However, the national power grid is congested currently and it has to be upgraded in order to receive additional power from VMC.
The biomass plant will use mainly bagasse as a feedstock. VMC has bagasse as a byproduct from its sugarcane processing plant. VMC also opened milling operations last September 20 together with the other two sugar centrals in the province. The sugar refinery is confident that their mills will be running at maximum capacity, which is 15,000 to 16,000 tons of sugar a day. This will ensure steady flow of feedstock for the biomass plant.

Thailand's Mitr Phol Grouitr Phol Group via its subsidiary – Panel Plus Bio-Power Co. has started a rubber woodchips based power plant in Hat Yai, Songkhla province of Thailand. It will be Panel Plus Bio-Power Co.'s first biomass power plant.
The 9.9 MW power plant will turn approximately 120,000 tons of rubber woodchips per year into electricity. It has started generating electricity to Panel Plus Group since March 2017.
The new plant is in tune with Mitr Phol Group goal of expanding power business to 200 MW from non-bagasse fuel by 2020 under The Alternative Power Business Unit. The company is using a range of local agricultural waste – both from its panel board business as well as rubber woodchips available in the vicinity.
The new biomass plant in Songkhla is not only the first biomass power plant of Mitr Phol Group to use rubber woodchip feedstock, it is also the first power plant in Southern region of Thailand.
High performance of combustion system is used in the power plant – that needs fewer raw materials and consumes less energy compared to conventional boiler, especially the top loader system. The plant also uses Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) in order to reduce fly ash from boiler emission together with the first Solar Floating power plant. It generates about 20 kW of electricity.
Mitr Phol Group runs a total of 7 biomass power plants in Suphan Buri, Sing Buri, Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, Kalasin, Loei and Tak – and is undoubtedly Thailand's largest biomass power producer. All the 7 facilities has a combined production capacity of 552 MW annually. All the Mitr Phol plants have agreements with EGAT and PEA to sell electricity amounting to more than 191 MW annually.

Sprain: An injury to a ligament (stretch or tear) that results from overuse or trauma. The treatment of a sprain involves applying ice packs, resting and elevating the involved joint, and using anti-inflammatory medications. Depending on the severity and location of the sprain, support bracing can help. Local cortisone injections are sometimes given for persistent inflammation. Activity may be resumed gradually. Ice application after activity can reduce or prevent recurrent inflammation. In severe sprains, orthopedic surgical repair is performed.


The new Board will include seven members elected by the profession (a teacher and a professional leader from the ECE sector, a teacher and a principal from the primary sector, a teacher and a principal from the secondary sector, and a registered teacher from the initial teacher education or continuing teacher education sector).
The Minister of Education will appoint the additional six board members after the election.
The inaugural election will be held in March 2019.
The new Board will take office on 1 July 2019. the meantime, the current Board will continue to oversee the running of the Council.


So unless you have been living under a rock you must have seen some the 2012 Summer Olympics. If not there is still time, check it out! I am probably the most uncoordinated person you will find, and over the years I have found it safer to be a spectator vs a participant. Although clumsy, I am still absolutely taken with the Olympics. The grace and ease these athletes have is mesmerizing. Their will and dedication to their sport is honorable. I can and do watch them for hours. The best part is each medal winner receives a "Victory Bouquet"!
The Victory Bouquet was designed by the creative director at Jane Packer, Susan Lapworth, to reflect the energy and vibrancy of the London 2012 Games. This vivid combination creates visual impact, which will also enhance the athlete's moment of victory.
The bouquet is sectioned into boldly colored quadrants of Aqua Pink Roses, Illios Yellow Roses, Marie Claire Orange Roses and Wimbledon Green Roses to mirror the 2012 logo. These are separated by typical British food ingredients of English Lavender, Rosemary, and Apple Mint. These provide an eclectic fragrance which is important to enhance the 'moment' of triumph for the athlete without causing an allergic reaction which some heavily scented flowers often do. Along with these herbs, wheat is included as a source of energy, to reflect the 'energy lines' of the London 2012 theme that has been an influence throughout the design process.
The flowers and herbs in the bouquet are British grown and bouquets are made with the help of floristry students across the country.Sadly no UK grower was currently producing roses for commercial use, so the roses used in the bouquets were commissioned and grown specifically for this project. Hardy varieties were chosen to l withstand varying temperatures as there are no cold storage facilities at the venues. 4,800 floral bouquets will be presented to athletes along with medals during the Victory Ceremonies.


KS backed 28/4 Received 4/11 First game in - 2 player & lots of ways to score. Second game - 4 player - did really badly and took quite a lot to explain rules. 3rd game in and really starting to see how the different elements interact and enjoying this.
An enjoyable, engaging game with high quality components and lots to think about. The different mechanisms: buildings, maps, contracts, market all work together quite seamlessly. The production quality is lovely: all the different wooden bits are completely adorable and fun.
Not as good as I thought it would be. All of the different boards and pieces make the game pretty fiddly. Most of the actions aren't that interesting. Interaction is minimal and at the end I don't feel like I've accomplished anything.
(11/17) 8. A very cool game that blends elements of Terra Mystica with a dash of Marco Polo. A really cool game that I'm looking forward to playing again for a couple reasons. 1) Because it was really need and deep but also B) because there was some suspicion at the table that my power (that of being able to have a second contract) might be OP? Interested to try playing with another clan.

Extreme Cold Weather
Here we have the historic second album of Swiss MESSIAH. They are usually thought of as a Death / Thrash band (even the intro to the second track states this denomination clearly) but these early releases clearly belong to a time in which there was no real concern about these tags, later much more rigidly defined. This album will sound somewhat amateurish and primitive these days, but it is a portrait of a time in which the spirit of Metal was wild and rebellious and unlike any other music… and in that perspective this is top. There is a lot of Heavy Metal here, and a lot of the blackened attitude (80s meaning of the term, obviously) that was to be found in the debut "Hymn To Abramelin" (an Egyptian mage from the 14th/15th century). I have always much enjoyed this sort of early output including this particular album, warts and all. And there are numerous warts that just add up to the whole atmosphere. It all begins with the blowing wind that evokes the title and the cover artwork (which I have always found rather goofy, a photo of a polar bear under a much too sunny landscape of ice) and goes on with almost joke-like lyrics about how cold it is ("With all my long hair, I don't need a hat to wear"). The music flows with moments of much melody, including clean guitar work and keyboards. The second track, 'Enjoy Yourself' begins with circus music and a carnival barker calling passers-by (with an atrocious accent). Soon he reveals himself to be none other than Abramelin… right before the eruption of an aggressive song against violence in concerts, and since we're on the subject also against racism, the arms race and vivisection. All of this sounds priceless to my ears, pretty much unique in its unexpectedness, and it confers great musical personality to the album. It is not another typical Death Metal album at all… the circus dude could call out "come and be surprised!" because if you're willing to give this album the attention it deserves you'll surely enjoy yourself at least from the "what the fuck" moments. Truth is, as I mentioned, I love the music as well. The youth, the guts, the cramming of all this stuff into their work, and the effort in doing actual music amid the brutality. Even with the clumsiness that becomes apparent here and there; for instance in the more aggressive 'Johannes Paul der Letzte (Dedicated In Hate To Pope John Paul II)' with its dissonant musical interludes and chaotic solo. After a couple of instrumental songs we have the anti-militaristic 'We Hate To Be In The Army Now' (certainly a reference to the STATUS QUO song from the previous year) and then we have the closing 'Nero', about the despotic emperor or Rome, which is perhaps the more consistently thrashing song of the album. After all this comes the "live" side of the LP, with a number of recordings including some songs off "Hymn To Abramelin". The sound quality is quite good for the time and conveys a vigorous live performance. The fact that there is so much live material, lengthier in time than the total of studio songs, adds a bit to the already settled amateurish feel. This, however, is a part of MESSIAH's early image and appeal. Provided you don't mind a bit of silliness and chaos in your old school Metal gems, this is certainly an album to go back to.

Resilient flexible nylon with fantastic interlayer adhesion.
Resilience, flexibility with little to no elasticity and a wearable texture define this newly released industrial filament from Graphene 3D Lab's brand Black Magic 3D. Veteran makers will appreciate the easy printing and densely smooth feel of projects created with Scorpion. Our flexible nylon has fantastic interlayer adhesion. It is very strong and depending on the layer height, projects made with Scorpion can bear high forces and weight bouncing back with no damage from repeated stress. In testing, we lifted over 20 kg (44 lbs) with a handle created from the flexible nylon.
***Nylons are sensitive to water and humidity!*** Always keep in an airtight, waterproof container when not in direct use (ex. ziploc) and include a desiccant bag. If filaments are exposed to moisture, follow typical drying instructions in an oven for nylon filaments.
Printing temperature: 225°C-235°C Works best at 230°C but can be varied according to the design and detail and speed.
Heated bed necessary?: Heated bed is not necessary if you use a BuildTak bed and PVA glue. This combination produces the best quality prints with good adhesion and no peeling of the edges.
If you have a heated bed, keep it at 55-60°C. and blue painters glue. A heated bed is a good alternative to the BuildTak + glue combo.
Printing with neither a heated bed or BuildTak is not recommended as the edges of prints can pull up. This is fine for quick prints but not for your final designs.
Glue necessary?: Yes. We recommend using a PVA glue (regular glue stick or Elmer's washable glue) on the printer bed in order to strengthen adhesion of the first layer. Do this regardless of your printer bed substrate.
Tape?: Yes, as with the glue, we recommend using blue painter's tape or similar to create a good gripping surface for nylon.
