Since 1998, AKN's corporate headquarters with a workshop and office building is based in Kaltenkirchen, playing an important role in contributing to the optimisation of traffic flows in the business districts of Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein. Expansions of railway networks for double tracked lines which are currently underway, will increase efficiency and a higher frequency of city railway services to meet the constantly rising number of passengers in the ever expanding metropolitan area around the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. AKN is continuously improving its passenger services. In December 2003, the wholly owned AKN subsidiary SHB Schleswig- Holstein-Bahn GmbH started operating between Neumünster, Heide and Büsum. Since December 2002, AKN also services the reopened line from Neumünster to Bad Oldesloe. AKN was able to win this tender in cooperation with the Hamburger Hochbahn and established the new subsidiary 'Nordbahn'. At AKN, passenger comfort is inextricably linked to public transport and the proof is the new double traction vehicles and the new, recently built train stations.
On two tracks into the future
Supported by its two main shareholders, The City of Hamburg and the State of Schleswig- Holstein, construction started in 1996 for the double-track expansion of the AKN line between Kaltenkirchen and Hamburg-Eidelstedt. The complete project is being constructed in three phases. The first phase between Ulzburg Süd and Kaltenkirchen Süd was opened in June 2001. In May 2001 the second phase between Hamburg-Eidelstedt and Hamburg-Schnelsen started and was finished in Q3 2004. The third construction phase between Hamburg- Schnelsen (Halstenbeker Straße) and Quickborn, is currently being developed and already showing substantial progress with the doubletrack system between Bönningstedt and Hasloh.
With financial contributions by the Federal Government, the State of Schleswig-Holstein, the administrative district of Segeberg, the city of Kaltenkirchen and the municipality of Henstedt-Ulzburg, AKN was able to realise the first construction phase at a cost of approximately €83.7 million. Two goals were thereby achieved: the connecting station for line A1 with line A3 could be completely refurbished under ground. The modern design increased the attractiveness of the station and the connection between rail and road was realised by adding a bus station, a Park & Ride facility as well as a Bike & Ride area.
By moving the rail tracks under ground, the city centre of Henstedt-Ulzburg was relieved from the negative impacts of the railway tracks crossing the city centre. The main part is a tunnel 630m-long below the city centre. It is the longest railway tunnel in the State of Schleswig-Holstein, which allowed for an attractive remodelling of the city centre. At the same time, seven railway crossings could be eliminated. This project was the largest construction measure in the history of AKN since 1916 and at times even the largest construction site in Schleswig-Holstein.
The second construction phase between Eidelstedt and Schnelsen was started directly after the termination of the first phase. The Federal Government and the City of Hamburg financed the €66 million for this 3.2km section. The result is a win-win situation for all parties involved: AKN could increase the number of trains and improve security; passengers and citizens of Eidelstedt do not see AKN as a synonym for traffic backups and waiting times at closed railroad crossings any more.
The AKN tracks within Eidelstedt were moved under ground in order to eliminate the mutual interference of rail and street traffic. The trains now pass three streets within the city limits in a track pan 600m-long. At the same time, the newly constructed train station Eidelstedt Zentrum was moved closer to the Eidelstedt shopping mall. The side platforms are comfortably accessible by elevators.
In October 2007, the first part of the third construction phase from Schnelsen to Quickborn started operation on two tracks between Bönningstedt and Hasloh after only one year of construction. More flexibility for the two remaining parts of the third construction phase between Hasloh and Quickborn Süd (to be finished in Spring 2011) as well as between Hamburg Schnelsen (Halstenbeker Straße) and Bönningstedt could be achieved. After the completion of the third construction phase in 2013, AKN trains will be able to commute between Eidelstedt and Quickborn on doubletrack. Overall costs for this third phase are estimated at €39 million.
Another important improvement regarding the rail traffic routing was achieved at Eidelstedt station. In the past, incoming AKN trains had to cross the track of the regional S-Bahn. This resulted in mutual interferences and caused unintentional delays.
The construction of the new rail routing was started in autumn of 2004. The rails south of the bridge at Elbgaustrasse were lowered and now the trains do not cross both S-Bahn rails but pass underneath one rail and filter in between the two rails thereafter. Just before the bridge 'Nördliche Güterumgehungsbahn' all trains are back on the same level. Construction ended in the summer of 2006. AKN and S-Bahn trains now enter Eidelstedt station without any interference.
New goals for our network
An important step to improve the com – petitiveness of AKN was the implementation of fixed cycle operation and the integration into the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV). Upon timetable change in May 1989, AKN could improve its service on the route between Hamburg-Eidelstedt-Neumünster and passengers since then appreciate an increasing number of connections without having to change trains between the Northern and Southern part. Since January 1990, the frequency of AKN trains on line A1 between Eidelstedt and Kaltenkirchen was increased all day to a 20 minute interval. On the route from Quickborn to Eidelstedt the frequency was additionally increased to a 10 minute interval.
Doubling our services offered resulted in an increase in passengers and for marketing reasons line A1 was named 'Rapid Train' within the HVV. The 'Rapid Train' service led to further increasing number of passengers in the following years so that the limits of train capacity were reached for the first time in the history of AKN.
Cities and municipalities along line A1, as well as HVV, urged AKN to improve its services. They wanted to increase mobility of their citizens and HVV wanted to attract more passengers from beyond the Northern limits of the City of Hamburg. The number of AKN passengers had already increased between 1984 and 1988 from 3.4 to 3.8 million, before the improvement of the frequency of trains. This showed that the right path was chosen.
Another measure to meet the expectations of our passengers was the continuous modernisation of the rail cars type VTE which were purchased in 1976 and 1977. In 1993, AKN acquired up-to-date VTA railcars (diesel railcars with asynchronous traction engine) manufactured by Hofmann-Busch (LHB) and ABB Henschel. Eighteen of these traction cars, marking another step of innovation, were delivered to AKN between March and October 1993, each at a price of approximately €2 million.
Reliable and safer, environmentallyfriendlier, more comfortable and more efficient – the new traction cars fulfilled all these requirements and they could also easily be connected to the existing VTE fleet. The new cars improved the service on the rapid line A1, replaced the rail buses on line A2 (formerly Alsternordbahn) and were also used at the beginning on the line between Neumünster and Heide. Since then, the VTE cars have been used on line A3 (formerly EBO-Eisenbahn).
Track development of AKN's rail network
Alsternordbahn GmbH (ANB), which was merged into AKN in 1981, as well as Elmshorn-Barmstedt-Oldesloer Eisenbahn AG (EBO) are part of HVV since December 1966. Since May 1983, they have been operated as line A2 and A3 and in 1992 the route between Garstedt and Ulzburg Süd (former ANB) was sold to Verkehrsgesellschaft Norderstedt mbH (VGN). It was adjusted to the AKN standard. VGN acquired traction cars type VTA which are used on this route.
Thanks to the modification of the tracks, line A2 has new features: the U-Bahn has a doubletrack up to Norderstedt Mitte where it ends underground. Line A2 has a double-track up to Moorbekhalle station and ends after another kilometre on one track at Norderstedt Mitte on a dead-end track. The U-Bahn trains stop at the same platform. The track from Norderstedt Mitte to Ulzburg Süd has a length of 7.6km and AKN takes care of operation and maintenance.
The very convenient connection of AKN line A2 to U-Bahn line U1 of the Hamburg rapid train network quickly led to an increase in passenger numbers. The excellent transfer connection at Norderstedt Mitte to U-Bahn line U1 with the 'Spanish solution' (passengers exit the incoming train either to the left or right to their connecting trains, depending on the direction they want to continue) for the platforms has significantly contributed to this success.
Due to low passenger numbers, the EBO line at the Hamburg city limit was only operated as rapid line A3 between Elmshorn and Barmstedt from 1973 until May 1992. The AKN manage – ment also decided to preserve the remaining section from Barmstedt to Henstedt-Ulzburg, as this would avoid uneconomic commuting detours for the passengers. After the modification, which started in 1990, this section restarted operation in 1992 on 24.4km from Elmshorn to Henstedt-Ulzburg and since then attracts a continuously increasing number of passengers. The connection to the regional train network of Deutsche Bahn at Elmshorn increases the importance of this route. In today's core network of AKN, lines A1, A2 and A3 are interconnected at Ulzburg-Süd station.
After completion of the double-track extension of the routes and the 'construction site Kaltenkirchen' AKN immediately increased the frequency of trains upon change to the timetable 2005/2006. Furthermore, as of December 2005, line A2 was prolonged beyond Henstedt-Ulzburg up to Kaltenkirchen Mittelzentrum during rush hours.
Since December 2009, AKN services on the routes Eidelstedt to Kaltenkirchen (A1) and Ulzburg Süd to Norderstedt Mitte (A2) has been doubled to a 20 minute interval in the evening hours in order to shorten transfer and offer easily memorable departure times. Above all, AKN follows the maxim: you've got the right connection!

Nuneaton is basically chav central, no matter what way you look at it, it's either that or Trampsville but theres not really much difference is there?
The place where you should never go? Higham lane school. Unfortunately my school. Daily life of chav school: morning walking to school, chavs smoking making sarky comments about my 'emo' get-up. First two lessons, chavs making stupid noises and making fun of me because I say stupid different (apparantly I say shtupid) Also they start asking whos house party is it to-night and will there be lots of booze? Break time, two chavs walk past and start shouting to each other 'Bi….bi…' etc because 3 of my best friends are bisexual. Next two lessons, pretty much the same thing as the first two but now they're making fun of my other friend because she's very religious and doesn't understand some the things they ask her about. Lunch, chavs push past us in the queue claiming they're year 11 when they are year 8 shrimps. They get in! Meanwhile me and my friends (all of us in year 11) have to wait another 5-10 minutes because they've run out of pizza and chips because of the chavs pigging out on them all. When on the playground we are very lucky because the chavs all leave us alone because they are off teasing some other group of people. Last two periods P.E, chavs moan at me because I'm not the best rounders player in the world and get caught out. They then ban me from playing in the next two games because they want to win. After school chavs congregate outside the gates having fags and spitting on the floor at our feet. Totally gross. They then either offer us a fag and laugh when we say no or ask if we have a fag on us. I am so glad when I get home because I can be myself and not worry about chavs making my life hell.

Vision Needs Are In Focus (as published by the Bristol Press)
BRISTOL - Della Porta Eyecare provides comprehensive, comfortable and caring services says owner Maria Della Porta.
Della Porta Eyecare opened about five months ago at its location at 271 Farmington Ave. Since then, Della Porta says things have been going well and her patients have been "very welcoming."
"This is the first business that I've owned but I've been employed for eye care practices for 17 years," said Della Porta. "I've worn glasses and contact lenses since I was a child and without them I wouldn't be able to see the world in front of me. I find helping people to be able to have better vision to be very rewarding and satisfying."
Della Porta said she chose this particular location in Bristol because it was an established practice and it was also close to where she lives in Southington.
"I'm from Southington, but Bristol is where I went to school, at St. Paul Catholic High School," she added.
Della Porta said that patients "feel welcome" at her practice.
"We try to provide a comfortable and caring environment for patients," she said. "We also want patients to feel that their concerns are being addressed. We take a comprehensive approach to eye care. They say that eyes are the window to the soul, but they are also a window to your health."
Della Porta said that in addition to offering comprehensive eye exams and providing patients with glasses and contact lenses, she is able to diagnose other diseases whose symptoms affect the eyes, such as diabetes, macular degeneration, hypertension, thyroid disease and high cholesterol.
"We also do emergency visits with same-day appointments if someone has red eyes, eye pain or something in their eye," she said. "I am able to refer patients to an eye surgeon and then they can come back here the day after for subsequent visits."
Della Porta Eyecare also participates in the "Infantsee" program by the American Optometrists Association, which provides free eye screenings to children 6 to 12 months old.
Going forward, Della Porta said that she wants to expand her practice's focus on dry eyes. She said that there are a lot of people with that problem in the Bristol area.
Della Porta Eyecare also strives to be involved in the local community. On Saturdays, her staff has a "dress down" jean day where they also provide donations to the local school system. Della Porta Eyecare has also donated socks to Brian's Angels and made donations to support breast cancer research in October. They contributed to Toys for Tots for Christmas.

CONSTRUCTION giant Carillon's Philip Green, in his role as government CSR adviser, is leading an industry-wide push to promote social value through supply chains.
He has asked 50 of Government's main suppliers to report back on not only their own social value efforts, but also on the efforts of their suppliers.
For any buyer who might have viewed social value initiatives as a 'nice to have' this is a wake-up call that it's now a strategic part of the procurement process, making its way steadily down the supply chain.
Public sector entities and a number or larger companies have realised 'value' is no longer just about price, quality and time but also about giving something back to local communities.
Major train operating company First Great Western was among those quick to respond.
The company worked with Achilles – a global supply chain risk management company, to contact 1,439 active suppliers, asking them to reveal details about their own internal apprenticeships schemes, and fulfil the needs of the train operator's customers.
That was only possible because First Great Western had outsourced the management of its supplier assurance to Achilles, and had a bank of up-to-date supplier records.
The process has also allowed the company access to the data and information to understand their supply chain, including that of their 1,500 suppliers, 65% are SMEs.
However, many companies would struggle to replicate First Great Western's approach.
Research shows that 40 per cent of large UK businesses, including those in the construction sector, do not know who their suppliers even are,* let alone whether they provide social value.
Compounding the issue, information is stored on multiple databases or pieces of paper, which becomes out of date almost as soon as it's filed.
Understanding the supply chain is becoming absolutely essential for businesses who are seeking to improve their social value and companies need to take steps to gain an overview of their suppliers..
To ensure they meet social value requirements, construction companies should act now by putting in place a proper system for managing supplier information and gathering the required information from suppliers.
This works best when construction companies work together to agree common standards required of all suppliers in business critical areas; traditionally HSEQ and environmental – but also social value. In the three highest levels of our BuildingConfidence audit programme, there is a standardised 'Social and Ethical' questionnaire, with information required on the use of apprenticeships and local labourers.
Social value has been on the mind of a number of our buyers for quite some time, but we have seen efforts ramp up recently; particularly with regards to the use of SMEs and buying locally.
Construction companies can only survey their supply chains about social value criteria, and ensure suppliers share their values, once they have accurate, up-to-date information about who their suppliers are.
What is the Social Value Act?
(b)how, in conducting the process of procurement, it might act with a view to securing that improvement.

SGI Vol Invest Index
Index level: 213.080 as of 01/27/2023
SGIXVI
SGI Vol Invest Index (the Index) aims to provide a hedge against falling equities by providing net long leveraged exposure to the implied volatility of the S&P 500 Index through a strategy that potentially reduces the cost of carry and may mitigate draw downs when volatility falls. The Index is a systematic index based on an optimized roll of VIX futures and a dynamic leverage.
The Index relies on SG developed roll methodology which aims to reduce the cost of carry relative to standard roll methodology (i.e. systematic roll of the first nearby contract).
The Index provides exposure to two sub-indices:
(1) 100% exposure to the SGI VI Beta Index TR component which embeds a scaled long leveraged position on VIX futures using the SG developed roll methodology that aims to provide positive performance when volatility rises. The strategy provides 3X exposure that is scaled back as positions are taken further along the curve.
(2) 50% exposure to the SGI VI Alpha Index ER component which is a long/short strategy that aims to generate alpha (or yield) in order to mitigate the risk of a decline in volatility following a volatility spike. The alpha strategy is long the VIX future picked by the SG proprietary roll methodology and short the first nearby VIX future, with a constant 2X leverage.
The weights of the 2 components in the SGI Vol Invest Index are rebalanced monthly.
The Index began publishing on February 9, 2012. Therefore, all data for the Index for the period prior to February 9, 2012 represent Standard & Poor's ("S&P"s) application of the Index methodology in order to reconstruct hypothetical historical data. Results during the period prior to February 9, 2012 may have been different(perhaps considerably) had the Index actually been in existence. The SGI Vol Invest Index (the "Index") is the property of SG, which has contracted with S&P Opco, LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC) ("S&P Dow Jones Indices") to maintain and calculate the Index. S&P® is a registered trademark of Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC ("SPFS"); Dow Jones® is a registered trademark of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC ("Dow Jones"); and these trademarks have been licensed to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Iron Maiden Pay Tribute To Martin Birch
Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris, lead singer Bruce Dickinson and manager Rod Smallwood, have all shared their tributes to longtime producer Martin Birch, who died on August 9th at the age of 71.
Birch produced for the band from their sophomore album "Killers" in 1981 through their 1992 album "Fear Of The Dark" and his credits with the band include some of their most iconic a albums "The Number Of The Beast," "Piece of Mind," "Powerslave," "Live After Death," "Somewhere In Time," "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" (and the live video from that tour "Maiden England"), and "No Prayer For Dying".
Harris shared the following tribute to Martin, "He was just absolutely brilliant. He wasn't just a producer, he was a hands-on engineer too, so he knew how to get a great sound. He was also fantastic at motivating people; he just had a knack of getting the best out of you. He was also a really nice man, great fun with a terrific sense of humor and that made him easy to work with. We all got along with him really well and the whole band is very saddened by today's news."
Dickinson added, "To me, Martin was a mentor who completely transformed my singing: he was a psychotherapist and, in his own words, a juggler who could mirror exactly what a band was. That was his special talent as a producer. He was not a puppeteer, he did not manipulate the sound of the band, he just reflected it in the best possible way. Apart from all of that, he was a wonderful, warm and funny human being.
"Martin and I shared a passion for martial arts, he for karate and me for fencing which gave us another bond too.
"I'm so very sad to hear this news. It's incredible that he has passed away at such a young age for a man who was so full of life."
Smallwood concluded, "He was a fantastic guy who always shared a mutual respect with the band. He never, ever, let us down in the studio. He was a true gentleman and he will be hugely missed by everyone in the Maiden family."

Why bogus AP tweet tricked us
David Weinberger and Special to CNN
Updated 12:36 PM EDT, Thu April 25, 2013
David Weinberger: Bogus AP tweet highlights dangers of literalism when we use Web
He says open Web means we must scope out info around content to judge its authority
He says we need three sets of eyes to check assumptions, detect signals of unreliability
Weinberger: If we don't use them, we'll be tricked by cleverly designed, dangerous lies
Editor's Note: David Weinberger is a senior researcher at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society and author of "Too Big to Know" (Basic Books).
When The Associated Press appeared to tweet Tuesday that there were two explosions in the White House, we were right to believe the news, even though it turns out that the AP Twitter account had been hacked. There were no explosions; the tweet was false. But believing the AP is not where we went wrong. Our occasional believing false reports should awaken us to the dangers of literalism.
The problem with literalism is that it thinks that language works simply: A word means what it means. But in truth it's never that simple. We hear words in sentences that provide context and attitude. So, when we see that the tweet announcing an attack on the White House came from no less than the AP, it's no surprise that the stock market went into a panic, as did many of us. You don't have to be from Boston, as I am, to be jumpy about news about bombs.

Upon learning that the words weren't really from the AP, the first lesson we probably want to draw is: Be skeptical. That's a healthy reaction, but we need to go beyond skepticism if we're going to survive the Internet's greatest blessing, the fact that anyone can post anything she or he wants. Skepticism recommends that we doubt every authority. I'm suggesting that before we even get around to doubting authorities, we need to remember that authority is conveyed not in the message but in the information that comes with the message.
Every tweet, for example, consists of more than whatever the message says in 140 characters or fewer. The tweet comes stamped with the time it was posted, the Twitter handle of the person who posted it ("@AssociatedPress") and an image chosen by the Twitterer.

All of that is information about the message that helps you understand it. If it's from your old chum, you may take the message as a bad joke because she's always kidding around. If it comes from a particular acquaintance, you may ignore it because he's always passing around sensationalist false news. And if it comes from a source such as the AP, you are likely to assume that the information is reliable. None of these considerations are in the words of the tweet itself, but without them, the words are just words.
So, another of the lessons of the hacking of the AP Twitter account is that we should remember just how deeply we depend upon nonliteral reading. We depend upon a complex system of signs, signals and cues that help us understand what to make of the literal words we read. We will sometimes be led astray by these signs because, well, some people suck. But if we are to survive, we need to become highly aware of how the information that surrounds information determines what we make of that information.
For example, how does a writer's competence in grammar and spelling affect our attitude toward him or her, and are we sure that we're not inadvertently lowering the credibility of people who deserve to be heard? Does someone acting like an expert increase the believability of the message, and does "acting like an expert" have gender overtones in your culture? Are we being swayed by a site's tone of voice and design chosen specifically to make the site seem more "friendly" and believable? How does the fact that the post you're reading right now is on CNN.com affect your perception of its worth … and how should it?
Expert: Hackers targeting Twitter more
Tracking tragedy on Twitter
Speaking figuratively, we now need to read with three sets of eyes, not the usual two. The first set reads the message. The second picks up the information that determines how we understand the message. The third pair tries to watch how the second pair is working, always trying to refine the assumptions we make, and looking for cues that the usual signals are unreliable.
We've always had the first two sets, but the third set is more important than ever because the new world of the Internet is so blessedly open and fluid. A failure to perpetually train that third set of eyes will doom us to being swayed by cleverly designed lies.

Local crab. Photos by Kelsey Skiver.
This recipe appeared in our Spring 2012 issue in the article The Fisherman's Market.
Place the crab claws in a steamer filled with boiling water. Steam for 15–18 minutes depending on the size.
Place some newspaper on a counter or table. Remove the claws from the steamer and place on the newspaper. Lay each claw flat on the paper. Using a mallet and a dishcloth to hold the claw, firmly crack open the shell and extricate the meat. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining claws.
Place all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Serve as soon as the salad is tossed.
Pour the olive oil into a small bowl and whisk in the vinegar. Add in the avocado meat and mash together with a fork. Add in the lemon juice, salt and pepper and whisk with the fork until well combined.
Place a spoonful of the fennel salad and avocado vinaigrette in the center of each plate, and then place the crab meat on top. Add a little coarse sea salt and pepper, a sprinkling of freshly chopped chives, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.

Eighty per cent of people in the South East fear future generations will never have a '˜forever home'
A staggering 80 per cent of people in the South East fear it will be impossible for future generations to have a home to settle down in, new research by housing and homelessness charity Shelter reveals today.
Monday, 21st March 2016, 6:00 am
Updated Friday, 8th June 2018, 1:20 am
The Ipsos MORI survey, commissioned by Shelter and British Gas, exposes alarming social trends caused by the current housing shortage.
Nationally the research showed that recent generations have seen the chance to have a 'forever home' slipping increasingly out of reach.
A statement from Shelter said: "A large majority of people who don't currently live in a long-term home say they would like to, either now or in future, with most saying the key reason is to give them stability or to put down roots. "However, the reality of life for the millions of young people and families who make up 'generation rent' is very different, with the research showing that 25-34 year olds in Britain today have moved more than twice as frequently per year of their lifetime as pensioners.
"This new research marks the launch of the Great Home Debate. In its 50th year of striving to end bad housing and homelessness, Shelter, with support from British Gas, wants to have the country's biggest ever conversation about the meaning of home. It will use people's views from the Great Home Debate to shape new standards for homes in the 21st century."
Campbell Robb, Shelter's chief executive, said: "The fact that vast numbers of people fear their grandchildren will never have a home to put down roots in, highlights the sad truth that this country is once again at the mercy of a housing crisis.
"While we have made progress over the last 50 years, our current housing shortage means millions are facing a lifetime of instability and, understandably, people are giving up hope. But if our history tells us anything, it's that together we can make things change.
"For the sake of future generations we cannot make this crisis someone else's problem. We're urging the nation to tell us what they really need from a home – so we can better help those who aren't lucky enough to have one. At Shelter we won't stop until we all have a place to call home."
Anyone can join the nation's Great Home Debate by visiting https://www.greathomedebate.org.uk/ and sharing their thoughts on the meaning of home in Britain today.
Bryan Halliday, Head of Corporate Citizenship at British Gas, said: "Through our ongoing partnership with Shelter we've already helped to improve living standards for thousands of families. This debate will help us to understand how we can help more people in the future to have a safe, warm and stable place to call home."

New feature: You can now send Crowns to other players with the "gift" command.
The recipient has to be online.
You just type "gift player num".
It prompts you before proceeding with the transaction.
Starter crowns cannot be gifted.
It always draws from your personal balance first, then your account balance.
Account crowns you give out are converted into personal crowns for the recipient.
There are currently no restrictions or limitations on the gifts, though I'm sure you will find ways to make me regret that.
There are no refunds. Don't use someone else as a mule to transfer crowns between your alts unless you reeeeeally trust them.
Naga dragon form now does cut damage. Hydra does stab.
Fixed the spiked gauntlets to appear again.
Added artifact unarmed weapon to vending machine.
We do not yet have a way for you to give crowns between your alts – that will come later.
Added monk weapons for non-rakshasa, non-naga monks, to help make them a viable monk option. The base weapon is spiked gauntlets, and it can be generated with up to +10/+10. There is also an artifact weapon, the Kinetic Gauntlets. These weapons do not fit on the claws of raks or nagas. They are, for the moment, one size fits all. They are wielded, not worn, and do not take up an armor slot (they use a weapon slot).
The artwork for all of them is for the arti gauntlets, but the regular ones will change in a few days.
Raised the XP of cacodemons, archangels and a couple other mobs that were over-nerfed. Problem is that I put in two different systems, and sometimes they collide and produce bad results. I used to have a system where you could override the XP award for specific monsters with an exact number, but I'm phasing it out because over time we sometimes change the monster tables, and monsters can wind up with specific awards that are way too low or high. I will keep tuning the monsters and am open to suggestions about monsters that are currently too high or too low.
I am still working on tracking down why no monsters give over 30k XP (Onryos are supposed to give 50k base, and probably higher when accounting for spells, etc.). But I didn't make it in time for reboot.
Disabled gold transfers between accounts, per the long previous discussion. I was going to wait until enchant machines are done (they are very next on the TODO list), but in order to avoid abuses I have disabled gold transfer now.
Crown showers now give out starter crowns. Crown gifts from me, however, give personal crowns that can be transferred.
Fixed problem with sock armor being generated with "giant" or "tiny".


Judge John Surbeck moved John D. Miller's sentencing to December 21.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) - April Tinsley's killer will be sentenced next week.
Miller was originally scheduled to learn his punishment December 31.
Last week, Miller admitted in court to killing April Tinsley, 8, 30 years ago.
He was arrested this summer in Grabill.


Discussion in 'Downhill & Freeride' started by _daemon_, Mar 26, 2008.
Been riding alot of the local "North Shore/freeride/AM/whatever" trails lately, and doing some small drops, and jumps etc. on my Giant Trance, the bike handles it all perfectly, but....it's getting a little abused, and I want to use it in enduro races etc. So was thinking get a STP as a "play" bike. Would a STP handle it, or is it more a pure DJ bike?
Some vids of the stuff I ride.
and here is a video of some local guys riding on mostly some of the trails I will be taking the STP.
I have an STP as my "everything but dh" bike right now and I have to say it's the best bike I've ever owned. Very capable of riding fast and shredding trails. It's not the most stable over rocky rooty trail but it doesn't look like you guys have much of that where you ride.
I have mine with holy rollers a 110mm fork and a 420mm seatpost (I'm 6'3) on it that balances my various uses pretty well. With some real tires and a pike u turn on the front it would be perfect for you. I've even seen guys mount up dual crowns and go racing on these bikes so they can take a beating. I purchased the bike at the height of my "drop to flat" stage and while I've busted a couple wheels, the frame is going strong after almost 3 years.
I've used my STP for all types of Urban,Skate Park,Jumps, and drops up to 8ft. It's never whimpered once. My Outlaw rear wheel is almost dead, but the frame is going strong! I cased a large stair gap trying to dial it in, and put a nice dent in the wheel.
110mm 4x up front rides great.
The STP would handle everything in those videos with ease!
Duel crown hey. Anyone know what's the max travel fork you can setup on a STP before the headtube stresses becomes to much?
I have a old manitou minute 1 130mm fork lying around.
mmmmm.......decisions, decisions, thinking a STP will make me abetter rider, platforms, HT, 100mm upfront etc. will make me smoother but then, would it make such a difference on these trails or should I just ride Trance, but then...a crash that says breaks my rear deraillear might put me out of racing for a while do to budget constraints.
Perhaps make the STP even a SS, less stuff to break etc. but then it might limit what one can do with the bike.
SS will not limit your riding unless it's riding DH! Mine's SS. I have mine set up as a 36t front and 17t rear.
stp stands for street trails park, it will hold up. I personally know jeff and he does all his trials and dj stuff on the bike. It can do drops to flat.
word, i have the 08 STP and i love it. super solid and its very snappy and will take anything you throw at it. if jeff rides it, so can you with no problems.
yep ill seventh (or whatever nth) the stp as being a kick a$$ frame!
The aye's have it, so I guess I don't really need to weigh in, but I love my STP. The frame is practically indestructible and the geometry is great for anything you throw at it. Drop the seat and you're jumping. Raise it and climb all you want. I converted mine to single speed and couldn't be happier.
My wheels go square before the frame even blinks.
They break eventually with hard use. I've broken one, and seen 3 others break. Mine was warrantied with no hassle.
I would still buy another one.
^^^ yep, i've always been impressed with giants warranty system.....really fast!

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Corker took President Donald Trump to task on Friday for asserting political pressure on the Justice Department and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"Like me, most Americans hope that our justice system is independent and free of political interference," Corker, the Tennessee Republican who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement.
"President Trump's pressuring of the Justice Department and FBI to pursue cases against his adversaries and calling for punishment before trials take place are totally inappropriate and not only undermine our justice system but erode the American people's confidence in our institutions," Corker said.
Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he is "disappointed" with the Justice Department and won't rule out firing Sessions, if Sessions won't investigate Democrats.
"Honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats," Trump said before departing the White House on a 12-day trip to Asia.

Trump wants the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Hillary Clinton's campaign, in response to a newly published book excerpt from former acting Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile. The excerpt says the Clinton campaign was improperly running the party during the 2016 primaries.
Everybody is asking why the Justice Department (and FBI) isn't looking into all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 3, 2017
In a series of morning tweets, Trump seized on Brazile's article that said the DNC became financially dependent on Clinton during the 2016 primary to the detriment of challenger Bernie Sanders, a Vermont senator.

"Everybody is asking why the Justice Department (and FBI) isn't looking into all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems," Trump tweeted.
"At some point the Justice Department, and the FBI, must do what is right and proper. The American public deserves it!" he said in another tweet.
In a separate tweet, Trump suggested Thursday that the terror suspect accused of killing eight people in New York earlier this week should get the death penalty.

Corker and Trump have been entangled in a public and increasingly bitter feud in recent weeks.
The spat escalated last week, with Trump blasting Corker on Twitter for fighting tax reform. He added that Corker, who will leave the Senate when his current term is over at the end of next year, "couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee" and insisted Corker chose not to seek re-election because Trump refused to endorse him. Corker says Trump's criticism had no bearing on his decision not to run again.
Corker hit back hard, saying Trump was "devolving" as president and that he is not a role model for children.
Corker has insisted his disagreement with Trump won't impact his work as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Preserve likewise the rights of inferior places; and think it more honor to direct in chief than to be busy in all. Decide as you may. In our tender years they are the same, for after Children can Talk, they are promiscuously taught to Read and Write by the same Persons, and at the same time both Boys and Girls. _Iar_ fine; 4. We may indeed be practically in the habit of considering it under such a single aspect, and it may therefore seem to us more familiar when it occupies a place in one series rather than in another; but such a practice is merely customary on our part, not obligatory. But the aggregate effect of such causes may well be supposed to be limited. To take an actual numerical example, suppose that 1460 men have been measured in regard to their height "true to the nearest inch," and let it be known that the modulus here is 3.6 inches. And if wider, then how much? Footnote 14: 'There is nothing which an Englishman enjoys so much as the pleasure of sulkiness.'—_Edinburgh Review_, No. This is a case familiar enough in abstract Probability, though, as just remarked, not so common in natural phenomena. Pan, as the name imports, represents the universe, about whose origin there are two opinions, viz: that it either sprung from Mercury, that is, the divine word, according to the Scriptures and philosophical divines, or from the confused seeds of things. Unless in the highly unlikely case of our having happened upon the same digit ten times running, the average of the ten _must_ be intermediate between the possible extremes. But now I am king no more. CHAPTER IX Mademoiselle Mars (of whom so much has been said) quite comes up to my idea of an accomplished comic actress. Was it a disadvantage, then, that for twenty years I had carried this fine idea in my brain, enriching it from time to time from my observations of nature or art, and raising it as they were raised; or did it much signify that it was disturbed at last? "Law of Kosmic Order," by Mr. The boat, the passengers, and the river too, bore him to death. They know too that a typical admirer of certain "_poems_," which he was in the habit of carrying about "in his pocket," made the ridiculous mistake of addressing his congratulations "to the wrong party": to CHRONOMASTIX, the "subject" of the Antimasque, whom he mistook for the "_Poet_." This blunder is crucial. One reason, however, why I prefer painting to sculpture is, that painting is more like nature. The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall;[140] the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall; but in charity there is no excess, neither can angel or man come in danger by it. Now, there is a large number of persons, many of them rational and intelligent men and women, of quite sound mind and understanding, who believe that the real "Shakespeare" is to be found in the person of Francis Bacon. Within the characteristic sensation, which gives the tone to all the others, consciousness distinguishes a larger or smaller number of sensations arising at different points of the periphery, muscular contractions, organic movements of every kind: the choir of these elementary psychic states voices the new demands of the organism, when confronted by a new situation. It is really a most agreeable novelty to the passing visitant to see the beauty of the North, the radiant beauty of the North, enveloped in such an atmosphere, and set off by such a back-ground. That is a question which I have never attempted to answer. [Sidenote: PER CENTAGES.] Some have contended that the number writing homework clipart of deaths and wounds is the test for endurance, others that the per centage is the true test. The genealogies in Matthew and Luke are clear proof that the earlier traditions of the Church made Joseph the father of Christ, and of course the Church was less Pagan then than it was in later times. I remember once meeting this celebrated character in the streets of Paris, walking arm in arm with Maria Cosway, with whom I had drunk tea the evening before. But a truce with reflections. It enacted that when a homicide had occurred and a case had been settled in a district by the neighbours, the pacificators should, according to custom, receive 12 solidi for their trouble (_pro districtione_), and in respect of the wergeld (_pro wargida_) they should have sanction to do what according to their custom they had been used to do. [Sidenote: The freeman is the twelve-hyndeman.] The points to be noted here are these. Finally, the compact is described in Anglo-Saxon pounds, not writing homework clipart in Danish marks and ores. Will it be by the body in which they dwell? To the Box-Hill picnicker it is the way to heaven; to the Meredithian, the road to Mecca. Gif hio grindende ?eowa sio .xxv. Canon 6. Both the one and the other belong in point of composition to the same period, 1622-3. This is another advantage Men derive from liberty of Conversation and promiscuous Business, wherein the Variety of Contingencies they have to provide against, and the Diversity of Tempers they deal with, force 'em to turn and wind themselves into all _Shapes_, and accommodate themselves to all Humours. Now these intervals are just duration _lived,_ duration which our consciousness perceives, and our consciousness would soon inform us of a shortening of the day if we had not experienced the usual amount of duration between sunrise and sunset. XV.—TYTHONUS, OR SATIETY. 1908, pp. To put it quite baldly, people must get married; and the safest way of promoting this is to organise society by pairs, to proclaim attendance at social forms so organised as a moral duty, and back this up with the whole weight of custom and constituted authority. And though they themselves shall affirm that they are not within, yet the answer will not be taken; and that which heightens their fear is, that they know they are in danger to forfeit their flesh, but are not wise of the payment-day, which sickly uncertainty is the occasion that (for the most part) they step out of this world unfurnished for their general account, and, being all unprovided, desire yet to hold their gravity, preparing their souls to answer in scarlet. And this is the explanation of the Reformation. So that, although the lex Salica remained still in force, the number of Franks living under it seems by this time to have borne a very small proportion to those living under Roman and other laws. VI. We should have to suppose that the Jutish chieftain, perfectly familiar with the Continental wergeld of the freeman as 200 or 160 gold solidi, equated by long tradition with the round number of 100 head of cattle, upon settlement in Kent reduced the wergeld of the freeman to one sixth or one twelfth of what it was in the country he came from. I was complaining of the trick that had been played by the waiter at Lyons in the taking of our places, when I was told by the young Frenchman, that, in case I returned to Lyons, I ought to go to the Hotel de l'Europe, or to the Hotel du Nord, 'in which latter case he should have the honour of serving me.' I thanked him for his information, and we set out to finish the ascent of Mount Cenis, which we did in another half-hour's march. Still there are so many instances in nature of proposed laws which hold within narrow limits but get egregiously astray when we attempt to push them to great lengths, that we must give at best but a qualified assent to the truth of the formula.

In my last 2 blog posts, I've detailed why and how to start a team Randori Coding Dojo. That's the easy part. As soon as you start your first dojo, you'll face trickier issues, especially people issues.
What if my team (or my boss) does not want to ?
Very often some of your team mates won't see the value of the coding dojo upfront and will prefer to work on other tasks. It can also be your boss, who thinks you should be delivering features instead. Here are a few tricks you can do to make it work.
Try to find another time slot. Ask people for their preferred moment. If you can negotiate food sponsorship with your boss, you might get everyone happy. He won't feel you're not delivering features, you'll have a free lunch and you'll improve your skills.
If your boss or colleague doesn't want to spend 2 full hours on a dojo. Get them to start with smaller problems and a shorter time slot.
Your colleagues might have doubts about the value of the dojo. Get them to try it once or a few times before committing to a recurring event.
As a general rule of thumb, the more you manage to involve people in the preparation, the more they'll adhere.
If you have 1 or 2 inveterate laggards, do it without them anyway. With time, they'll understand what they are missing !
💡 If you cannot get people to adopt a new practice, get them to try it once. You'll be more than halfway there.
Why do we stick to TDD ? We'd go so much faster if we coded this straight away.
We don't need TDD for such a simple problem.
We don't need such small baby steps on this simple problem.
Yes, sure. I know you are professional developers and that you could easily solve this little problem. Keep in mind that we are here to deliberately practice TDD and friends. Solving the problem is only a side effect.
We are going to apply TDD by the book, for the sake of learning. It's a lot easier to learn to swim in 1 meter of water than in the middle of the sea. Once we'll master it in the safe dojo environment, you'll know how to adapt it to your production code.
Please, play by the rules here !
As you can see, I don't try to convince them. The last thing I want is to get into a pro vs cons of TDD. 95% of the time, this answer is enough to get people over their skepticism and try it for the time of the dojo. Unfortunately, the last 5% might result in a difficult session. There's no single way to deal with these 5%. You can try to discuss with them in private, or run next session without them.
💡 Reframe the coding dojo as a learning exercice relying on TDD to go beyond skepticism.
One last advice, especially for your first sessions. It's a common rookie mistake to waste 80% of the coding time on error handling. The key is to focus on what you want to learn. You are not writing production code, so don't hesitate to omit certain aspects. For example, assume that correct arguments are provided to skip error handling. This will save you time, be more fun and increase what you learn.
This was part 3 of this series on team coding dojo. In the next post, I'll write how to maximize the benefits we can get out of coding dojos.


Retirement plan assets are a great way to support the work at Human Life International because they not only help support the mission, but they also can provide tax relief for your loved ones.
Name us a beneficiary of your plan. This requires you to update your beneficiary designation form through your plan administrator. Here you can designate Human Life International as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount. You can also make us the contingent beneficiary so that we will receive the balance of your plan only if your primary beneficiary doesn't survive you.
With the IRA Charitable Rollover, if you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to help those we serve and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as Human Life International without having to pay income taxes on the money.
Fund a testamentary charitable remainder trust. When you fund a charitable remainder trust with your heavily taxed retirement plan assets, the trust will receive the proceeds of your plan. The trust typically pays income to one or more named beneficiaries for life or for a set term of up to 20 years, after which the remaining assets in the trust would go to support Human Life International. This gift provides excellent tax and income benefits for you while supporting your family and our work.

Take a First Look at Disney's Star Wars Theme Park Rides
By Garrett Martin | November 17, 2018 | 2:05pm
Games Features Star Wars
We've almost made it, America. We just have to keep it together for a few more months and we'll finally be able to hang out inside our favorite movie world at Disney's upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park areas. If anything can keep us unified, it should be this.
We've been anxiously awaiting 2019 for years, of course. Galaxy's Edge could establish a new high water mark for immersive theme park environments, and even if it doesn't, well, Star Wars is still Star Wars. George Lucas's cultural phenomenon still taps into a sense of awe and wonder that's increasingly hard to come by in this world. One of the few other things in life reliably able to pull that off is a Disney theme park, and that's why the Disney / Star Wars marriage always made perfect sense. As fun as the new Star Wars movies are (there are no Last Jedi haters in Paste's world), Galaxy's Edge is the main event, the big draw, the end goal for all Star Wars fans who were excited when Disney bought the whole thing. And it's just a few months away, first at Disneyland, and then later in 2019 at Hollywood Studios at Disney World.
After years of rumors and speculation concrete news is finally starting to trickle out, with the latest big update arriving earlier today at the Destination D event in Orlando. Not only did Disney announce the names of the two rides coming to Galaxy's Edge, but they've given us a first glimpse at them with these two short teasers.
As the Disney Parks blog writes, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will put you "in the middle of an epic battle between the Resistance and the First Order." The teaser was actually shot in the attraction, and it seems to nail the look of that classic Star Wars architecture. Disney aims to create a fully immersive Star Wars experience with Galaxy's Edge, and if the whole area is as faithful to the look and feel of Star Wars as this teaser indicates, fans could be in for something truly special.
The other attraction, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, will let you fly the most legendary Star Wars ship into some kind of a top secret mission. The Disney Parks blog reports that guests will assume "one of three unique flight crew roles," which, based on the movies, we assume will be pilot, co-pilot and gunner. Sitting down at the helm of the Falcon, flipping all those switches and then rocketing into hyperspace has been a dream of Star Wars fans for over 40 years, and that's exactly what this quick tease promises.
No opening dates have been announced yet, but expect Galaxy's Edge to launch at Disneyland in California in the summer of 2019, with the Orlando version touching down at Hollywood Studios at Disney World later that fall. And there will no doubt be much more news on Galaxy's Edge over the next few months, as Disney's promotional juggernaut hits warp speed.

I became a parent overnight when my cousin Tina* was hospitalized for four months. Her daughter, Ella*, was four years old and had no one to care for her. Tina's parents had passed away and her ex-husband wasn't fit to be Ella's guardian. As Tina's next of kin and emergency contact, it was only natural that Ella should come live with me, even though I didn't know much about raising kids at the time.


The 8-Week Program is not really a detox. It's an alkaline / antioxidant-based diet to encourage better nutrition by alkalising the body over 8 weeks.
It's about slowly introducing healthy eating habits to assist you on a hormonal level, and to help in balancing hormones in conjunction with the Happy Hormones product. It includes steps such as juicing and the fermented drinks, which are specific to hormonal balancing.
The 28-Day Detox is a more extensive paid program, which provides participants with day-to-day meal plans, shopping lists, exercise regimes and special mantra's to focus on each day.
The 28-DD has a more restrictive diet which is designed to take stress off your digestive system and activate the detox mechanisms in your body. It's a complete reset for the digestive system, and allows for a total reboot of the system. This can lead to increased energy, and weight loss.
For many people, the 28-Day Detox is too much, too soon. Probably best to start with the 8-Week Program and gently ease your way into a more healthy lifestyle.
If you want to continue your path towards greater health, the 28-Day Detox is the second step. If you take the time to focus on the 28-Day Detox, it will definitely help you lose weight, streamline your organ function and reset your system.
Can the detox program be suited to vegetarians and vegans?
Yes it can. If you're vegetarian, you can find a list of vegetarian protein sources at the back of the program, which will help you in substituting out animal products.
As for vegan's you have access to our detox expert, Tahlia who is happy to assist you in substituting options which don't suit your requirements; and to ensure that the detox program is still effective for you.
