Chapter 40: Ildico
Saheris mounted his mare, in one bound and was off to the waterfront before any of the rest of the household had awakened. He paced the wharf as they docked, and the little landing boats debarked with their precious passengers and cargo. He was there to greet the first, a small girl of no more than ten years. "I am Saheris El Maduc," he greeted her, formally, and lifted her bodily to the safety of the dry wharf above.
"I am Iliana, the youngest daughter of Munduk," the girl said brightly. She was stunningly pretty, with large blond ringlets, and a pure, pale complexion, and she smiled endearingly at Saheris, as though he was her intended, and she had already fallen in love with him.
Saheris saluted her Ugar fashion. "I am honored." Just as he had straightened up from his bow to the girl, another was handed up, virtually a copy of the first, and just as lovely. The girls were almost exact replicas of their mother, Eldana, who even now stood, imperious, in the bow of the boat, awaiting the landing vessel. Eldana stood at a considerable height, taller than Saher, perhaps even taller than Arrus, and for a brief time, Saheris's attention was arrested. Sahelis had told me about Eldana, and the meeting in the bedchamber with her and Munduk. He had described her as a magnificent blonde beauty, breathtaking to behold, and Sahelis had not exaggerated. The second daughter, Kinlit, awaited his arm, and he helped her up and gave her a second formal salute.
Following the second daughter, came a tall, willowy, and - to Saheris's great surprise, dark-haired, dark-complexioned girl who must be at least eighteen years of age. Her eyes searched the pier, and at once caught sight of him. He had already been told that Ildico had seen him, though he did not know where, or how. He found himself hoping that she was as pleased with him as he with her, but her face gave no indication either way. They lighted on him, and did not flicker away. Ildico, if possible, was, due to her dark hair and olive coloring, the most beautiful of the three, and mature. He could not see much detail of her form beneath the cloak, but she had her mother's height and delicacy of feature, her nose short but not stubby, and Saheris spent long moments enjoying the simple vision of her. She had far more than the requisite number of arms and legs! He breathed in sharply; his bed would not be empty long. She reached a long, manicured hand up from the boat, and he drew her up to the wharf. Standing at a level, she overtopped him by a head, and looked down upon him. Slowly, she smiled. "Greetings, Saheris El Maduc," she said.
"Greetings to you, Ildico," and he kissed her hand. She bowed her head graciously, then moved off toward her sisters. He did not want to let that hand go.
Eldana and her servants followed. When the boat stopped debouching its passengers, Saheris looked around him in some confusion. "Where is Munduk?"
The queen replied. "He is a day or two behind. There was some news from the north that he had to reply to before departing, but decided that it would be unwise for us all to delay. We are not to change our itinerary in any way."
Saheris signalled for horses to be brought for the women, and led them to Zoser's house and their rest. By the time they arrived, the house had stirred. Arrus, newly-arrived from Moesia, and Suwetus stood in the doorway to greet the arrivals and show them to their new homes. Arianus and his wife Brita arrived shortly thereafter, to greet Iliana, who was betrothed to their son Arrhadeus, and Linnaeus, who was a widower, was in attendance to greet and introduce himself to Kinlit who was betrothed to his son Runar. Soon both houses were bustling with the transporting of trunks and movement of furniture, the arrival and departure of horses, and the cooking of food. Saheris lost track of his betrothed, Ildico, among the press of women who crowded in to assist Munduk's family with their belongings, and he strode back, alone, to his study. To his surprise, Sahelis awaited him.
"Is she pretty? Do you think you want her?"
"Do you know what you said about Eldana?"
"Yes…" he frowned.
"Then imagine a girl as tall as Eldana, hair as thick and long as Eldana's, face as delicately wrought. Then, make her dark, brunette, with a perfectly olive complexion."
"You prefer them dark."
"Then - she is what you want. She must be stunning."
"She is. Munduk knew she is, that is why he never let me see her! He knew I would ravish her in a minute."
Sahelis clapped his hands. "Then it will be settled? You are going to go through with it?"
Saheris pushed roughly at his brother's arm. "Of course. If I go another month without a woman I may die. But now that I have seen her, I am completely happy with the arrangement."
"But now what about me? Has Munduk married off all his daughters now, leaving none for me?"
"You're too young. Khan's sons have to be older. The younger siblings get married off to the lesser members of the house. He has a daughter from his Moldovan wife who is almost sixteen. When you are old enough, you can marry her. The Moldovans are dark people too so she would be brunette, like Ildico."
"What is her name?"
"I don't know, Sahelis, we can ask Eldana. I thought you weren't anxious to marry."
"I'm not. I just want to have the choice."
"I am sure Munduk has a lot of daughters available."
As promised, Munduk was two days behind by ship, and by the time of his arrival, his family were ensconced in Zoser's house. The wedding was due to be held in Saher's house on the day of Vesta, two days from the time of his arrival, and, a nervous sailor himself, Munduk spent the first day after his arrival in bed, recovering from a lack of food and sleep. Saheris was secretly pleased that he was not the only man who could not abide ships. Heklitis, too, could not hold food on board ship, and that alleviated much of Saheris's embarrassment and reticence about sailing.
They dined together the night before the ceremony, in Saher's hall, which had been transformed into a feast hall for the wedding. Extra furnishings had been removed to make room for more tables and guests, and the hanging lamps had been lifted to provide for more standing room in the main vestibule. This was the first opportunity for Saheris to speak to Ildico since their meeting on the pier.
"What do you think of Maduc so far, Lady?" he inquired politely.
"It is much less cold than Maeotis, and far fairer than Rukath," she said carefully. "And I have always loved the seacoast. The smell is invigorating." She glanced sidelong at Saheris, as though waiting for him to speak, and then continued. "Do you know, that we of Scythia consider Pontus to be the most beautiful area of this entire region? Except of course for the mountains of Moldova. But they are only beautiful to the sight, it is frigidly cold there for much of this season, and wretched to travel through. Scythia is not much better."
"My daughter, please," Munduk said, his voice only half-joking while he sipped his soup. "Please do not portray to the Khan that our realms are hostile and inhospitable, or he will never consent to rule them or even set foot in them!"
She lowered her eyes. "I am sorry, Father, but I wished to let Saheris know, truthfully, that his realm is a beautiful one, and far superior in our own eyes, to the land in which we dwell."
Munduk laughed explosively. "I can do nothing with her. You have no fear that she will attempt to flee Maduc, in any case, Saheris."
"I never doubted it," he replied, soberly. But he was intrigued at the pains Ildico appeared to be taking to please him. Had her father told her that Saheris had not yet made up his mind to marry? He had been told, previously, that Ildico found him attractive - did she fear that there were other competitors for him, and that she might lose an opportunity to marry if she did not please him? It certainly seemed that way. Besides this niggling worry in the back of Saheris's mind, he paid careful attention to Ildico, and to her younger sisters, who prattled ceaselessly about the sea and the ships, which they had never seen prior to their first trip to Maeotis. They had never been across the Euxine, before, and their eyes were bright with the pleasure of new experience. Saheris enjoyed it all, and the benevolent eye of Eldana over them all, watchful and approving.
When the dinner ended, the girls assembled to provide them with some singing entertainment. They sang a curious tune which was an anthem for dead warriors learned from the ancient kingdom of Kvenland, to the north of Pannonia. They then sang another tune to which they danced, solemnly, arm in arm. The movements were subtle and complex, and no matter how he tried, Saheris could not discern the pattern their feet followed. At Munduk's loud applause, they were dismissed, and filed off to return to their rooms next door in Zoser's house. Eldana accompanied them.
Only the men, and the brothers, were left at the table then. "What say you, young Khan?" said Munduk in his usual blunt manner. "Will you have her?"
Saheris blushed. "I would be very pleased to have her."
"Then she is yours on the morrow. And the destiny of our nations will be solidified. However, there is some news I must impart to all of you which affects us all. This is what delayed me in Maeotis."
"What misfortune befalls us now, Munduk?" Saher asked, his voice now tired. "There is not some new levy or troop request from our new eastern emperor?"
"The child Theodosius? No, somewhat more fateful, my ally. His uncle in the west has proposed a hostage exchange."
Saheris closeted himself with his brother and Saher late. "Surely," he argued, "he cannot be proposing that one of us be sent to Ravenna."
Saher put a hand over his eyes. "This was not done during the reign of the old Theodosius except among the minor nobles. My cousins both spent two years in Rome, but never did they ask for a direct heir to be sent. In this case, they have asked for Munduk's heir."
Saheris spoke, "but - that would be me!"
"Yes, I know," he said quietly. "But we cannot let that happen. I cannot rule here any longer, my health is too poor. And you cannot be spared, even for a season, to be holed up in some palace in Ravenna, while they send some insolent patrician's son to snoop for secrets in Scythia. No, there is something else afoot here, something we do not know about."
"So what will happen?" Sahelis asked.
"For the moment, nothing. But I have a very odd suspicion, which brings me back to the Roman soldier in Amysos. I think it's time we find out who our foreigner is, and why he was dogging us to the battle with the Alans at the time he was. There is too much of coincidence in this for Honorius to suddenly make a demand of this kind, and without argument, it will be difficult to refuse or defer him."
The wedding ceremony was relatively straightforward. Elaborate clothes were provided for Saheris and Ildico, and wine, and Saher presided over a prayer of fertility for the couple. He then unfurled a length of linen which he then wound around the clasped arms of the couple, and tied it at the hands. This was the symbol of marriage between the nations of Scythia and Bithynia. Munduk made a brief speech about their alliance, and about the happiness he anticipated would arise from the marriage.
The younger sisters tossed flowers at them, and wine was served. As the guests fell to for their feast, Munduk brought a white cloth and placed it upon the tied arms of the couple. "This must be accomplished before you join the feast." The cloth, Saheris had been told, was to be placed on the bed to absorb the blood of their first intercourse. Munduk led them to the room that was to serve as the marriage chamber, and closed the door behind them.
They spent the first minutes untying themselves from the length of linen, and as Saheris unraveled his wife's shoulder, he leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "You are very lovely, " he said in a soft voice. "May I unravel you further?" She murmured in response, and began to untie the clasps of the elaborate gown that covered her. Soon, white linen had spilled across the floor and Ildico stood nude before him. "Ah," he exhaled, and loosened his own cloak and let it fall to the floor, then pulled the bedcovering back and placed the linen cloth upon it.
"I believe we are ready." He slipped his arm across her shoulder, and walked her the few steps toward the bed, and lifted her onto the mattress. He kissed her, and the girl beneath him pressed her mouth hard against his, and he opened his mouth, exploring her mouth with his tongue. Her mouth tasted sweet, as though she had just eaten some poignant fruit. The sensation, and the taste, aroused him immediately. Saheris leaned back onto his knees and put his hands on her dark breasts, squeezing the nipples to hardness between his fingertips. Ildico moaned, arching her back toward him. He played with her breasts then, holding them in his hand and massaging upward to tweak the nipple gently, and then start again. She moved against his hands, arching her back to push upward, and grasped his arms with her hands, urging him to continue. He put his mouth on a nipple then, and began to suck, while manipulating the other with his free hand. Ildico had begun to moan in his ear. It was nearly time, but he was reluctant to stop - it was her breasts he wanted, that impertinent nipple against his mouth… he sucked hard upon it, pinching the other more roughly, and was rewarded with a low sound, and a strong surge of the body beneath him. Her hands wandered downward until they found what they sought, and she seized his rigid sex in her hand, grasping it hard.
"Please," she whispered. He needed little more encouragement than this, and he pushed her knees apart, and guided himself gently into her. There was a sudden resistance, an uncomfortable tightness. He thrust then, and there was a loud gasp from the girl, and he withdrew. Bright drops fell against the linen and across the surrounding sheet.
"Are you all right? Does it hurt?" he asked, concerned, his passion suddenly flagging with the prospect of pain. Her arms reached for him once again and pulled him down.
"Yes, yes, it was just a moment. Come to me, come to me." With the breaking of her virginity, Ildico's passion was unleashed, and Saheris thrust himself again between her thighs. The low sounds soon became loud gasps, and the pressure he felt from within her seemed to intensify to an intolerable tightness, as the pressure increased he thrust harder, until suddenly released and a wave of spasms engulfed him - color flushed her face from her chest to her hairline, and a look crossed her face - and her expression went completely still for a brief moment, and a strangled moan escaped her. She had climaxed at the same moment he had, and the decreasing wave of spasming within her pressed him out. He sat up.
There was blood on the linen, and blood on his thighs, and more blood beading on the small hairs of the small mound of her sex. They were breathing heavily, hoarse, unable to speak. Finally, Saheris took a deep breath, smiled, and said "that was wonderful. Wonderful." To his profound relief, his pent-up rage with Atthis had fled him, and he felt completely satisfied. "Yes," she breathed, and pulled his head down again to kiss him.
The couple quickly reassembled themselves, though not quite as neatly, dabbing themselves with the bedclothes in order to dress once again. Saheris retrieved the white linen from the bed, and took his wife's arm. They walked in some dignity back down the hallway to Saher's main hall, and upon arriving, held the bloodstained cloth up in the air. There was a loud cheer, and wine glasses were raised and clashed together. Then, they joined the wedding feast.
They lingered at the feast only as long as custom demanded, and then, to the accompaniment of loud comments and encouragement, Saheris took his bride back to bed. This time, they were less hurried, and there was no bleeding or discomfort. They made love long into the night, until they exhausted one another. At length, they slept.

After graduating from high school in 1976, Lyndon's founder David Allard started working out of a fieldstone house he was building for his parents, making custom cabinets and furniture. David constructed his first woodworking shop in Lyndon, VT from timber he cut from the family farm and had milled locally.
Over the years, seven additions have been built on the original building and two more factories have been added, bringing the total to over 140,000 square feet of production space and employing approximately 80 craftspeople. In 2000, David was recognized as the "Vermont Small Business Person of the Year" by the Small Business Association. An honor which he says belongs as much to his employees as to himself.

2020 Democratic Hopefuls Aren't Backing Bernie Sanders' Single Payer Bill
Reuters/Carlo Allegri
Phillip Stucky Political Reporter
September 04, 2017 1:19 PM ET
Potential Democratic presidential challengers have yet to back Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' single payer health care bill, a move that has many progressives worried about their stance in the party.
"It's a value proposition: Either you value the lives of the American people or you don't," progressive organization Our Revolution president Nina Turner said about support for the measure that will be introduced when Congress comes back in session in September.
Although Turner asserted that an individual candidate's stance on the measure isn't a "litmus test" in order to run for office, her organization made it clear that it expects any Democratic candidate to support the measure.
California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris is the only high-profile lawmaker to openly approve the plan. However, other Democrats and progressives alike have been slow to support the measure.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe haven't spoken publicly about the proposed measure, and other high-profile Democrats like Sens. Chris Murphy, Sherrod Brown, and Kirsten Gillibrand have yet to announce their support as well.
Some, like Sen. Cory Booker seemed to believe that pursuing such a far-left idea in a Republican-controlled Congress was unlikely to actually pass. "I don't know how we get it done in this environment," a spokeswoman for Booker told The Hill.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren slammed moderates in August, calling the progressive wing the "heart and soul" of the Democratic Party.
"The Democratic Party isn't going back to the days of welfare reform and the crime bill," she said in a speech. "It is not going to happen. We are not the gate-crashers of today's Democratic Party. We are not a wing of today's Democratic Party. We are the heart and soul of today's Democratic Party."

Sakurai on why Kirby is the initial survivor of Smash Bros. Ultimate: World of Light, launch update, more
Posted on November 28, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
To kick off the World of Light mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, we see the game's characters vaporized by mysterious beams. Almost everyone is taken down – except Kirby. Kirby manages to escape, and that's where the adventure mode really begins.
In a Famitsu column this week, director Masahiro Sakurai addressed Kirby's initial survival in World of Light. He commented on a few other topics related to the game as well.
Regarding Kirby, Sakurai admitted that he's a bit biased as he created the IP and fans' suspicious on that front are correct. However, from a planning perspective and through the process of elimination, he said it's obvious that Kirby would be the only one left.
Also mentioned is that it was necessary to have whoever would survive the attack have a reasonable method of escape that could actually be shown on-screen. The characters trying to run would be chased to the stars and still get swallowed up, so physical speed wasn't enough. Teleporting slightly away wouldn't be enough either. While some may have forgotten, ever since the first game, Kirby's Warp Star has been able to warp.
Some fans noticed that the Japanese name for "Lifelight" when read backwards is "Hoshi no Kaabi" which is similar to "Hoshi no Kirby" (the Japanese series name for Kirby). However, Sakurai said this is merely coincidental. It wasn't that he wanted to write a story about Kirby. Rather, he simply just happened to be the first character you can play as.
Bayonetta and Palutena were among the characters who weren't able to escape. According to Sakurai, Bayonetta couldn't escape into Purgatorio as her enemies there had also become Spirits. Additionally, Palutena couldn't manifest any of her abilities as Hades and the other deities from Kid Icarus had become Spirits. Bayonetta and Palutena would also be kind of difficult as first characters; the first character had to be fundamentally easy enough for anybody to play as.
A newcomer to the scene – Erina Koga – sings the main theme in Japanese. Sakurai noted at the time she was just 17. He decided on Koga at the recommendation of composer Hideki Sakamoto.
Later in the column, Sakurai confirmed that there will be an update at launch – the downloadable version will be fine as it is. Something is mentioned here about protecting against replay de-syncing.
Speaking of which, players will be able to permanently keep replays if they're converted into a movie format. Sakurai advises to keep an eye on the file size though.
Finally, when starting up Spirits for the first time, you'll receive one Advanced-class sticker. Sakurai said that seeing what you get can be a little bit of fun.

King's Barbers to have their voices heard the other side of the world!
KING'S Ely's award-winning boys a cappella group – the King's Barbers – are being given a once in a lifetime opportunity to sing in the south-western Indian state of Goa.
Music lovers from across the globe are expected to attend the Ketevan World Sacred Music Festival at Unesco Heritage City in Old Goa later this month (February). And among the line-up of international soloists, ensembles and choirs performing at the five-day festival is the King's Barbers, who are all former cathedral or college choir choristers.
The King's Barbers will not only be starring in the festival but will also be performing at two schools and a children's hostel during their time there.
A statement on the festival website says the event was "born to inspire a place of artistic, spiritual and musical dialogue". It adds: "In our scenarios we present concerts where artists from different traditions share their art, to develop the idea of artistic coexistence, as an engine propelling humankind towards mutually respectful and accepting cultural, social and human coexistence.
To find out more about the King's Barbers, search for the group on Facebook and Twitter.


Care must be taken when removing barbed porcupine quills to lessen damage and further pain to your pet or yourself. This is a guide about removing porcupine quills.
If you ever have the bad luck to remove porcupine quills from your dog (or yourself), don't just rip the quills out. The barb will cause more damage going out than going in. If you snip off the quill, the hollow walls will collapse, allowing you to remove the barbed quill with less damage.
I never knew. You should have entered this in a contest. It is super. We members wouldn't mind if staff won occasionally, too. Thanks!
I thought it was a good tip too. Hope it can help someone!
I have pulled many thousand quills from dogs in my thirty years in the Yukon, and I know, that is the only way that works. Snip a bunch with the tiny scissors on a Swiss Army knife, then use the pliers on it to pull the snipped ones.
You can't quite pull them with just your fingers, even when snipped, but with pliers they come out fast.


When I started with Instagram about a year ago one of the nice things I discovered were the challenges, like Inktober and the 100 Days project. You set a goal by creating something new every day in a self chosen theme and post it on Instagram. This way you'll get in a nice flow and work around a theme. For me the sometimes quite random sketches formed the basis for new illustration projects. These projects and challenges over a longer period can be a very good way of working on your portfolio.
The sketchbook page of the Two Sisters was one of the Drawing People with Nature posts for the 100 Day Project. A photo of my grandmother (seated) and her younger sister, on display at my father's desk, formed the inspiration of the drawing. It must have been taken around 1915 in Amsterdam. In the 19th century my great grandfather (with the very exotic name of Milutinovic) emigrated from Serbia to Amsterdam, where his two daughters, my grandmother and great-aunt, were born.
These young women are part of a fantasy, a dream or another story and this way it's beyond an ordinary portrait, which I like.
In this sketchbook drawing you can see that initially I drew the same haircut my grandmother has in the photo. But later on I decided to scribble outside the outlines of the hairdo and created the more interesting tree bark haircut. For me it's not only a more visually appealing change, it also creates a new storyline. These young women are part of a fantasy, a dream or another story and this way it's beyond an ordinary portrait, which I like.
In the painting I wanted the ladies to sit in a pristine landscape, their natural habitat. And since I lost my heart this summer to the Scottish Highlands I used one of my Scotland photos of a breath taking, empty landscape to become the background. A little pet dog that you often see in vintage photographs had to be their companion in the painting.

Ebola patient "fighting for his life" in Dallas.
Meanwhile, Ashoka Mukpo, the freelance NBC News cameraman who was diagnosed with Ebola last week is "counting the minutes" to be flown to Nebraska for treatment, his father told NBC. The 33-year-old Mukpo, who is the fifth American to be diagnosed with Ebola, will be leaving Liberia Sunday afternoon on a specially-equipped plane. Mukpo is reportedly "not that ill" and is in "great spirits," Nebraska Medical Center spokesman Taylor Wilson said.
Earlier, Frieden was on Meet the Press and warned that it will take a while for drugs to fight Ebola to reach West Africa. "The drug pipeline is going to be slow, I'm afraid," Frieden said. "The most promising drug, ZMapp, there's no more of it, and it's hard to make, it takes months to make just a bit." For the most part though, health officials continued to highlight that they're confident the United States won't suffer a broad outbreak of Ebola and rejected increasing calls for a travel ban, points out the Wall Street Journal.

Files for my little GLFW-tutorial series

Introduction
====
I'll write some sensible stuff here later but these are files related to a tutorial series on GLFW and related topics that I'm currently working on.
Note that these files will progress as the tutorial progresses.
In the archive folder I'm placing zip files containing the source code as is after each tutorial.

License
====
The work I present here I'm releasing under a standard MIT License which pretty much means you can do with it what you like.
Do note that this covers the source code I've written, not any resources used by this project which I do not own.

Dependencies
====
This work is dependend on a number of other bits of source code that each have their own licenses.

First and foremost: http://www.glfw.org
GLFW is the cross platform framework we're using here. For convenience I've included the main header and compiled binaries in this repository but obviously I recommend you download the most recent source and compile it.

Another project I use is: http://glew.sourceforge.net/
GLEW is a library that handles calls to parts of OpenGL that are dependent on the OpenGL version or any differences between platforms and vendors.

And then: https://github.com/nothings/stb
STB is a collection of single file C libraries that do nice things like image loading.

And finally (for now): https://github.com/memononen/fontstash
Fontstash is a single file C library using the font rendering logic in STB to output text to screen in OpenGL.
Note my own fork of this project as I've added support for rendering using VAOs and VBOs which is a prerequisit with OpenGL 3 on a Mac.

3rd party resources
====
Please note that the character conrad and the game flashback are owned by Delphine Software and are under their copyright.
Seeing the nature of this project as a teaching tool image files in relation to this game that are used in these examples are used under "fair use".

I'm not a graphics artist by any stretch of the imagination. If anyone who is would like to donate spritesheets and graphics that would fit the
examples presented here I would be very appreciated to receive an email.

You've purchased your e cigarette, researched the techniques required to get the most out of vaping and now all you have to do is choose a quality e liquid. For new vapers selecting an e liquid can be a make or break decision that can influence the way you feel about this new way of smoking, and it's important to remember that you may not always make the best choice right away.
Many new vapers spend more time choosing an e liquid than deciding which device to use and this is often due to the huge amount of options on offer. Unlike tobacco cigarettes which have a rather uniform taste, e liquids come in so many variants, with everything from sweet cherry to the more tart lemon and lime. There are also tobacco flavoured e juices for those that want to enjoy an experience with an electronic cigarette that mimics smoking but in far more enjoyable way. Your choice of e juice is a personal one, and what may appeal to one vaper won't appeal to another, but with so many flavours to select from there's something for everyone.
When determining which flavour you'd prefer consider what your usual preferences are and work from there. If you have a sweet tooth the chocolate or strawberry flavours may be perfectly suited, while if you prefer savoury you may lean towards to the more minty or coffee options. Many vapers start with e juice that tastes like tobacco and move over gradually to the more exciting flavours.
Don't be disheartened if you don't enjoy the first flavour you've picked, with an e cigarette it's easy to switch flavours and try a new one. Trying out a number of flavours may be the best way to find your favourite and you may discover that your sense of taste develops as you vape more and smoke tobacco less.
When buying e liquid always ensure that you select a premium brand as purchasing cheap, inferior e liquid will reduce the enjoyment you obtain from vaping. It's also imperative that you check the nicotine content of e juice and start off with a lower dose, as you may be surprised at how quickly you craving is satisfied in just a few draws.
To get started purchase a few flavours and test them out, it may take some time to establish which one is your favourite but in the long run this will be a very worthwhile exercise that's sure to heighten your future vaping enjoyment.

St. Louis Speakers Series
John Kerry: Congress Must Get To The Bottom Of Whether Trump Abused His Power
By Jason Rosenbaum • Sep 24, 2019
Courtesy of John Kerry's Facebook page
Former Secretary of State John Kerry says it's imperative for Congress to figure out whether President Donald Trump abused his power to harm a political rival.
Kerry's comments to St. Louis Public Radio on Tuesday came ahead of his speech next week in St. Louis amid louder calls for impeachment over Trump's conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Never Another Late-Night King? Jay Leno Looks Beyond Appointment TV Ahead Of St. Louis Visit
By Lara Hamdan • Apr 24, 2019
Courtesy of St. Louis Speakers Series
A major part of entertainment has long involved the collective watching of various activities on TV networks: late-night comedians, sports championships and glamorous award shows. But with the rising popularity of streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, the pervasiveness of appointment viewing seems to be waning.
Among the notable entertainers many have made time to tune in and watch over the years is Jay Leno. The comedian and former "Tonight Show" host said on Wednesday's St. Louis on the Air that while people aren't tuning in to their favorite hosts routinely anymore, it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Jeb Bush Calls Shutdown 'Embarrassing And Shameful,' Talks Trump, National 'Angst'
By Evie Hemphill • Jan 8, 2019
Gage Skidmore
When St. Louis on the Air host Don Marsh on Monday asked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush if he was glad to see the end of 2018 – which marked the passing of both of his parents – Bush acknowledged it had been a difficult year but focused on the celebration of what he called "purposeful lives."
"It was a sad time," Bush said, "but at the same time it was a wonderful time to be able to celebrate the life of my mom and dad and to see the outpouring of love and incredible support to our family."
He joined the talk show ahead of a visit to St. Louis set for Jan. 22, when he'll be giving an evening talk at Powell Hall as part of the St. Louis Speakers Series. He said he plans to "paint a picture of where we are as a country."
James Comey talks Kavanaugh, Mueller investigation – and says he's not worried about his emails
By Alex Heuer & Evie Hemphill • Sep 19, 2018

James Comey expressed both concern and hope about the state of U.S. institutions and the rule of law during a St. Louis Public Radio interview on Wednesday.
"I think we're in two different places," the former FBI director told St. Louis on the Air host Don Marsh. "We're in a place where the president of the United States relentlessly attacks the rule of law and the institutions of justice, so that's terrible. But the second place that we're in is that Americans have awakened to the importance of the rule of law and the danger of its erosion, and that's a very, very important sort of antibody response. And it's a source for optimism."
Travel expert Rick Steves gives advice on 'traveling thoughtfully'
By Evie Hemphill • Feb 20, 2018
Rick Steves' Europe
With more than 50 guidebooks to his name, Rick Steves is a go-to authority on international travel – particularly when it comes to Europe. But whether one's destination is Italy or India, his main piece of advice is to travel thoughtfully.
"You just have to decide," Steves said in a St. Louis on the Air interview just prior to his Feb. 20 visit to the Gateway City as part of the St. Louis Speakers Series. "Do you want to lie on the beach with a bunch of other Americans, or do you want to actually get out into the local culture and check things out?"
International journalist Robin Wright says career was a 'total accident' ahead of talk in St. Louis
By Lara Hamdan • Jan 23, 2018
From revolutions to war zones, journalist and author Robin Wright has covered many massive moments in world history – all without a team by her side or a helmet on her head. She's reported from 140 countries spanning across six continents.
On Tuesday's St. Louis on the Air, producer Lara Hamdan talked with Wright about her career and upcoming talk in St. Louis on Jan. 23 as part of the St. Louis Speakers Series. There she will talk about her expertise in Middle East issues and share her insights into the region.
Daily Beast Editor, former St. Louisan Goldie Taylor: 'We're better off than popular media suggests'
By Kelly Moffitt • Oct 18, 2016
Robert Ector Photography
Former St. Louisan Goldie Taylor is the editor-at-large for the Daily Beast. Although a long-time cable news contributor (she's been on CNN, HLN and MSNBC), Taylor said that cable news and social media have "let us down" over the issues that divide the United States.
"Maybe I'm the optimist here, but I think we're better off than our popular media suggests, than what we see on social media or cable news," Taylor told St. Louis on the Air host Don Marsh. "So many of us know one another as neighbors, friends, coworkers."
Southern Poverty Law Center co-founder: 'Never has hate been such a focus in a political campaign'
CSS Group
Morris Dees, the co-founder of Southern Poverty Law Center, was born in 1936 and grew up on a small cotton farm in Alabama. His parents didn't own the land, but the family worked it, alongside many African-Americans. That experience was integral to his development as someone who leads the charge against hate and intolerance through his work with the SPLC, a non-profit legal organization that works to eradicate hate and intolerance through education and litigation.
Former FBI Director Mueller Visits St. Louis
By Katie Cook • Feb 17, 2015
Used with permission/St. Louis Speakers Series
Robert S. Mueller III became director of the FBI in 2001, just one week before the Sept. 11 attacks. He then had the enormous responsibility of leading the agency through a transformation into the threat-based, intelligence-led organization it is today.
Mueller spoke to St. Louis Public Radio's Katie Cook about the changes the FBI underwent post 9/11, and the many efforts its agents made to better serve the country's changing needs.

The Panama Papers were a reminder of how the superrich are allowed to hide their wealth from the rest of us. Dirty Secrets uncovers the extent of the corruption behind this crisis and shows what needs to be done in the face of this unregulated spread of rampant greed.
Tax havens, we are often told, are part of the global architecture of capitalism, providing a freedom from regulation necessary to make markets work. In this book, leading authority Richard Murphy uncovers the truth behind this lie. The fact of the matter is that this increasingly popular practice threatens the foundations of democracy, sowing mistrust and creating a regime based upon opacity.
As Murphy shows, how we manage our economy is a political decision, and one that can be changed. Dirty Secrets proposes ways to regulate tax havens and what the world might look like without them.

On Saturday, March 30th, eight different colleges across Ontario gathered to compete in the Accounting Case Competition, with a total of thirteen teams competing. Sheridan College was one of those teams, including students Denys Krasheninnikov, Pamela Rillo Valim and Tanya Tappin, with coaches Alison Feierabend and Kiran Grewal.
This year's competition was organized by Sheridan College, and was held at the Hazel McCallion Campus, where over 40 students competed with an accounting case in front of a panel of CPA judges.
Students knowledge of what they've learned in class thus far was put to the test, where they had only 2 hours to prepare for an advanced accounting case in complete isolation. This competition, among many others, really helps develop critical thinking, teamwork and presentation skills.
Our Sheridan College team made it to the finalist round, and finished off in 1st place! We are so incredibly proud of our hard-working business students, for challenging themselves and pushing their limits. Pilon School of Business congratulates everyone that participated in the 4th annual Ontario Colleges Accounting Case Competition.

UNESCO World Heritage Bauhaus
UNESCO World Heritage Bauhaus Weimar
Haus am Horn (Foto: Roland Dreßler)
The State Bauhaus in Weimar represents an important chapter in the more than 150-year history of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and an essential part of humanity's cultural heritage. In 1996, the »Bauhaus Sites in Weimar and Dessau« were officially added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage. In 2017, the ensemble was extended to »Bauhaus Sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau«.
Bauhaus sites in Weimar:
the university's Main Building
the small Van de Velde Building
the Haus Am Horn
In its official statement, the UNESCO justified its selection, stating »the Bauhaus, with its sites in Weimar (Thuringia) and Dessau (Saxony-Anhalt), represents the so-called Bauhaus school of architecture which, between 1919 and 1933, applied revolutionary ideas to building design and town planning. The buildings of the Bauhaus professors, from Walter Gropius to Hannes Meyer, Lazlo Moholy-Nagy to Wassily Kandinsky, founded the Bauhaus style, which made a decisive mark on the architecture of the 20th century.«
In preparation of the Bauhaus anniversary in 2019, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar co-operate in the working group »Culture and Tourism – Bauhaus« of the ImPuls-Region Erfurt-Weimar-Jena and with the Bauhaus sites in Berlin and Dessau in the initiative Triennale der Moderne.


Incredible achievement for Israeli table tennis player, Zeev Glickman, who took part in the China Open Paralympic competition winning a Bronze medal in the doubles games.
Glickman coached by Yossi Rosenblatt, one of the leaders in the field in Israel, reached the semifinal match with his partner from Vietnam, playing against a Chinese couple who beat Glickman and his partner. The two finished in 3rd place with the very respectable Bronze medal.
Glickman, is classified in a severely handicapped category, reached the quarterfinals, but was defeated here too, this time by a rival from Ukraine, number two in the competition. Glickman will now accumulate points in the world rankings, and his goal is to qualify for the Tokyo 2020, the Paralympic Games.

Concerned Republicans look ahead to 2020
David Drucker of the Washington Examiner documents Republican concerns about President Trump's preparations for the next presidential election.
President Trump is being ill served by a White House political operation that lacks the influence and acumen to effectively guide the West Wing and build a solid foundation for reelection in 2020, Republican insiders say.
More than a half-dozen Republican operatives familiar with the White House political shop that the Washington Examiner interviewed for this story said the problems predate the stunning December loss of a Senate seat in a special election in ruby red, pro-Trump Alabama.
Few were critical of White House political director Bill Stepien, saying he is a hardworking, capable strategist. But they said his operation has not exhibited clout with Trump, nor the ability to help him navigate complex electoral and policy challenges that routinely confront presidents.
"You need a political shop that knows what the political impact of everything is," said Ed Rollins, a veteran Republican strategist who advises a pro-Trump super PAC and was the political director in Ronald Reagan's White House. "But nobody is giving him valid counsel that I've seen. I don't think there's anything that's really functioning well."
The political department of the modern White House has been a major player in the West Wing, helping to shape and shepherd a president's political and policy agenda. It was typically overseen by an experienced operative, by the president's side for an extended period, who functioned as a sort-of guru. George W. Bush had Karl Rove; Barack Obama had David Axelrod.

Whether you are a master brewer or just getting started with your first batches, chances are you are going to want to create some awesome labels. Most will agree that the only thing better than enjoying your work of art is giving it away to friends and colleagues.
I use an amazing t-shirt design tool from RushOrderTees. They have a killer studio with a lot of great art, big font selection, and the studio is super user friendly - anybody can make great designs no matter how much experience you have. If you really love the craft beer scene and want to step up your game you can even decide to make your own shirts to match your label!
Checkout all of the great clipart from the categories in the design studio or do a search for a topic. You can also upload images or vectors to be used. When choosing your fonts and colors, check out the cool arch and text background color features as these add a lot of character to the design.
Once you have taken the screenshot and cropped to your liking, paste your design in a word doc or similar page. You can size to fit your bottle as needed. Notice that you can copy and paste the design to get multiple prints on the same page.
Once you have made sure you are not printing in grey-scale, assuming you have already set that as a default to save money on printer ink, then it's time to print and cutout to paste on your bottles.
Now you have printed your sheets in bulk, after testing a page to make sure it looks just right and that it doesn't have any spelling errors, the next step is to cut out the labels and paste them to the bottles.
The best paste I've seen comes in the bulk bag that kids buy for preschool, though you can use the standard Elmer's, gorilla glue, or duct tape if you are in a bind. Another option is to buy a beer labels that match your design size and just stick the labels on (figure about 6-cents per label). I recommend Sheetlabels.com for blank or printed, you can simply upload your design and have them shipped printed if you want something really nice.
Now that you have your beer labeled and are feeling confident that you can convince everyone to try a beer that you brewed yourself, let them understand first-hand about the benefits of home-brewing and just how fantastic the beer actually tastes.
Great idea!! Can't wait to try this on some Christmas brews.
Nice and simple. Great idea, thanks!


Shakopee is a city in Scott County and is located southwest of downtown Minneapolis of The Twin Cities of Minnesota. Shakopee is in the southwest suburb area of Minneapolis-St Paul which is known as The Twin Cities. Minneapolis-St Paul is the sixteenth-largest metropolitan area in the United States with 3.3 million people. Minneapolis can be reached by the Bloomington Ferry Bridge and U.S Highway 169.
Shakopee was incorporated as a city on May 23, 1857. Then in 1861 the state Legislature passed an unusual state law in which the City's charter was surrendered. But settlers kept pouring in…many of German descent. Up until the 1860's steamboats moved goods and people and then came the railroad and the first steam engine in 1865. The end of the 18 hundreds businesses and downtown grew. The early 1900's the population was 2,302 and Shakopee then had many new changes with electricity, well water in homes and even a visit by President William Taft in 1911. In the 1920-1930's Shakopee was know as "Little Chicago" with a shady period that included illegal gambling and extortion. The 1940-1960's was a time of prosperity with civic improvements and Valley Green Industrial Park. By 1970 the City's population was 7,716. The 1970-1980's came Valleyfair amusement Park which draws over a million people to Shakopee yearly and then the new horse-race track Canterbury Downs ( now Canterbury Park ). The 1990 to present is a period of unprecedented growth with new businesses and an explosion of population growth with current figures estimated at 45,000. Just recently was announced the huge business and residential development next to Canterbury Park which will be a real gem for the City of Shakopee.
Some other wonderful area attractions is the Mystic Lake Casino and the wonderfully popular Minnesota Renaissance Festival!
