Your job might be stressful, but on the bright side, there (probably) isn't an ancient order of assassins out for your blood. That would be very stressful. Sadly, for the some of the NPCs in Assassin's Creed Origins, there is an ancient order of assassins out for their blood, and as a result, they can get very stressed out.
Check out our guide to all the new Assassin's Creed Origins abilities.
In a video from Assassin's Creed YouTuber Loomer, which you can watch above, the game's director Ashraf Ismail gave a taste of the new emergent gameplay that Origins is bringing to the series. In his example, a rebel group attempt to storm a fortress, raising the alarm and waking up the commander, who's one of the player's targets. Once the rebels have given up their assault, the commander won't simply go back to bed, because he'll be too stressed out to just go back to sleep.
Ismail says that these interactions will allow players a new way to get to their targets, without directly impacting the world. The game's new emergent gameplay will allow players opportunities to break the daily routines of their targets, which makes them more vulnerable to attack. But with the focus moving even further away from stealth kills, has Assassin's Creed Origins forgotten what it means to be an assassin?

Federal Court Reinstates Absentee Ballot Verification Rule in Texas
By Rick Moran Oct 20, 2020 12:05 PM ET
Michael P. Farrell
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated Texas voting rules that require signatures on absentee ballots to be verified. The law requires that signatures on the returned ballot match the signature on the initial absentee ballot application. If there's still a question of the signature's validity, the clerk can compare it to the voter's signature already on file.
Judge Jerry E. Smith wrote in the court's opinion "Because Texas's strong interest in safeguarding the integrity of its elections from voter fraud far outweighs any burden the state's voting procedures place on the right to vote, we stay the injunction pending appeal."
Fox News:
In a Monday order, the court blocked a U.S. District Court injunction, noting that the lower court's decision "minimize[d]" Texas' interest in election integrity, emphasizing the heightened need for security as greater numbers of mailed ballots raise the potential for fraud.
This would seem to be a no-brainer if you're even halfway interested in election integrity. It's so basic to the process that who in their right mind could object to it?
Two Texas voters, George Richardson of Brazos County and Rosalie Weisfeld of McAllen, joined by organizations representing Texans with disabilities, veterans and young voters, filed a lawsuit over a year ago arguing that the way state law allows local election officials to reject mail-in ballots based on mismatching signatures violates the Fourteenth Amendment's right to due process.
The District Court ordered that voters whose signatures are perceived to be mismatching must be mailed a notice of the election board's determination within one day, and, in the event that a voter believes his or her ballot was improperly rejected, the voter may seek to verify the ballot by contacting an election official via phone or mail, Garcia ruled.
Verify a signature on the phone or in a letter? That's carrying the adage "trust the voter" a little too far.
More than that, the suit didn't have a constitutional leg to stand on.
"The Fourteenth Amendment says that states may not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.' In its conscientious 103-page order, the district court didn't cite the Fourteenth Amendment—the sole constitutional provision it purported to interpret on the merits—even once. It's no surprise, then, that the court also failed to identify the category of interest—life, liberty, or property—at stake in the right to vote. The plaintiffs' brief is similarly silent."
Not only did the plaintiffs fail to argue how the right to vote by mail "is a liberty interest, they made no argument of the sort about the right to vote at all."
But leave it to a liberal judge to find something — anything — to make it "easier" to vote. That it also makes it easier to commit voter fraud isn't considered because, as we all know, "voter fraud doesn't happen."
This was a real time-waster for the federal appeals court. The case should have been laughed out of the lower court. But clogging the courts with frivolous, time-wasting suits is a feature, not a bug.

If someone purchases disability insurance privately, however, it is likely that state law, rather than ERISA, will apply to a claim for denial or termination of STD or LTD benefits. Depending on the state, the claimant may be able to sue for bad faith insurance denial, breach of contract or other state law claims.
Some advantages of a state-law claim over an ERISA claim can be, for example, the availability of a jury trial, the right to collect damages for infliction of emotional distress and the available of punitive damages. Punitive damages are money damages awarded over and above the value of the benefits wrongly denied or other measurable monetary harm and are meant to punish the insurer for bad behavior as well as to deter other insurance companies from similar behavior.
A recent example of a private LTD insurance claim based on Arizona state law is the case of Tyler v. United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York in U.S. District Court in Arizona. On November 1, the judge released an opinion saying that the insurer was not entitled to summary judgment on the claimant's bad faith claim or on her request for punitive damages.
Kelly Ann Tyler was a VA psychiatrist who stopped working because of chronic migraines, pain, neuralgia, meningitis and fatigue. She filed a claim under her disability policy, which defined total disability as the "complete inability to perform the substantial and material duties" of her current occupation. It defined "current occupation" as the "medical specialty" or occupation practiced just before disability began.
Her claim was approved and she received benefits for a couple of years. Then her benefits were terminated, based in part on a vocational specialist's opinion that Tyler could return to work if she were given certain accommodations, namely, leave during symptoms, a dark place to rest during migraines at work and avoidance of severe stress.
Insurers must act in good faith and fairly. Arizona law asks whether the insurance company acted unreasonably and if so, did it know it was unreasonable. The court looks at whether the claim was "fairly debatable" and whether the insurer's claim processing was reasonable.
Tyler's job as a VA psychiatrist was demanding and the court believed that a reasonable juror could find that the three accommodations were not "realistically available." This finding, if made, would mean that the denial was not in good faith, so the case should go to trial on this issue.
Arizona law says that punitive damages require "something more" than just bad faith. Clear and convincing evidence must show either that the insurer intended to harm the claimant or consciously acted with knowledge it was creating a "substantial risk of significant harm." The presence of "any reasonable evidence" that could support punitive damages means the jury should decide the issue.
Because the court found a jury could reasonably find that the insurer "acted knowing that its conduct created a substantial risk of harming Tyler by depriving her of disability benefits," the case should go to the jury for deliberation.
The case is available on Westlaw at 2018 WL 5722714.

Home » Music Artists » Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen is an American singer, songwriter and musician. Nicknamed "The Boss", he is best known for his work with the E Street Gang. He is famous for his poetic lyrics, energetic stage performance, distinctive voice and long concerts. Much of his work revolves around his home city, New Jersey.
Born on September 23, 1949 in Long Branch, New Jersey (in the USA), Bruce is a Libra. He has two middle names: Frederick and Joseph.
Bruce Springsteen – His Religion
Springsteen was raised Catholic, but now considers himself an agnostic. Many have accused him of growing more spiritual with age, but he maintains his agnosticism. Still, he believes that his youth spent as Catholic has had a great influence on his music. In his own words, "Once a Catholic, always a Catholic."
Bruce Springsteen – His Political Views
It is safe to say that Springsteen is a liberal democrat. His music often revolves around political subjects and its themes are overtly American. One of his most popular songs, "Born in the U.S.A.", addresses the negative effects of the Vietnam War and poor treatment of its veterans. In 2004, Springsteen endorsed democratic candidate John Kerry. More recently, he has campaigned against nuclear power and played a world-spanning tour for Amnesty International. He is also a staunch ally of labor unions and gay rights.
Bruce Springsteen – His Hobbies
Springsteen's daily life does not leave much room for hobbies. Even now, he continues to impress and woo with new appearances . Occasionally, he has been known to dabble into other forms of art as personal projects – such as his short film, "Hunter Of An Invisible Game".
Bruce Springsteen – His Relationships
Bruce is married to Patti Scialfa, a guitarist and member of his E Street Band. They have been together since 1988 and were married in 1991. They have three children.
Prior to his marriage with Patti, Bruce was briefly married to Julianne Phillips, an actress. The two wed in May 1985, but things began to hit the rocks shortly after. By the spring of 1988 the two were separated. By March 1989 the two were officially divorced.
Bruce is very, very picky about letting politicians use his work in their campaigns. Especially after "Born in the U.S.A." – an anti-military complex song – was used in Ronald Reagan's campaign. When Bruce was 26, he tried to break into Graceland to meet Elvis Presley. Bruce has an asteroid named after him – 23990 Springsteen (1999 RM1).

Eugene Dunlop Vanier was my uncle, my mother's youngest brother.
If you have any more information on him, I would be glad to have it.
My mother was Dorothy Vanier, and Eugene had two older brothers, John (Jack), and Ralph.
Eugene Dunlop Vanier (Beezie) was my father Ralph's younger brother.
He died in the campaign against Rommel, somewhere over the Mediterranean in a Bristol Beaufighter, a member of the RCAF. I have written commemorating him in my book "Caribbean Chemistry".
I was born a few months before his death and he sent a present.
I am trying to find out some more details about John George William Vanier who was Archdeacon of St. Kitts. I am trying to find his full date of birth and his full date of death. I do know that he was born and died in Barbados. I would also like to know where his funeral service and burial took place.
John George William Vanier was my grandfather…. I do know for sure that he died in St. Kitts in 1970, and is buried there… He and his wife Annie Mary Vanier died within two days of each other, and are buried together in the cemetery of the Anglican Cathedral in St. Kitts. As far as I know he was born in Guyana…. He did work in Barbados for some time though…. My mother was his only daughter, Dorothy Mary Vanier.
My cousin Christopher R. Vanier is the family historian and is in a position to better help you.
My uncle was Harry Asquith, Eugene Vanier's observer when they were killed in action in a Beaufighter on 1 Sep 1942. Anybody know how I can get in touch with Eugene's family? Tks.
Thank you for your interest and for sharing your Uncle Harry Asquith with us!


The Tascam DR-22WL Portable Handheld Recorder with Wi-Fi is a streamlined model that has been designed to provide an easy-to-use interface so that anyone will be able to enjoy high-quality linear PCM recording without difficulty. For recording music played primarily on acoustic instruments, including acoustic guitars and wind and string instruments, this model is ideal. With its easy operation and high quality recording, this recorder can also be used for applications other than music, including for recording audio when capturing video with a digital SLR camera and for interviews. Not only does this handheld recorder meet the demand for recording high-quality audio with ease, it also has advanced Wi-Fi functions for full remote control, streaming playback and file transfer.
TASCAM has once again revolutionized handheld recording! The DR-22WL creates its own Wi-Fi network, and a free dedicated app can be used for remote operation without touching the unit. Not only does the app allow recording to be started and stopped, it can also be used to check and adjust input levels from an iOS or Android device. Everything related to recording can be done by Wi-Fi. Since the Wi-Fi transmission range is about 20m/65 feet, this feature can be used with the recorder in places that are normally out of reach. In addition, audio can be checked by Wi-Fi after recording. The audio quality can be checked through headphones connected to a smartphone. With operation capabilities and flexibility that exceeds infrared remotes - and reliability that approaches that of wired remotes - this handheld recorder allows freedom of placement that far surpasses that of previous models.
Two unidirectional mic units are utilized together for stereo recording in an X-Y format. They are arranged so that their diaphragms overlap in the same axis. X-Y format recording can capture sound with a good stereo image and no sense of emptiness at the center. Since the mic units will not distort even at high volumes, recording with a great sense of nearness is possible even in high-volume situations. In addition, a shock mount structure is used to hold the mic capsules. This absorbs vibrations effectively even when mounted on a digital SLR camera.
The scene dial has eight preset scenes with different settings. This function automatically makes adjustments according to the situation so all the user needs to do for optimal recording is press the record button. Of course, when "M" (manual) is selected, settings can be adjusted manually. When set to ">", the user can use the play function to adjust the speed of playback, change the pitch and use other features that are perfect for practice. The bottom of the large 128×128 LCD shows the next operations that are necessary according to the current conditions. The 4 function keys can be used to make selections for easy operation. This is a handheld recorder that can be easily mastered.
In addition to recording, this unit also has functions that can be used for music creation. The overdubbing function allows new sounds to be layered over existing recordings. This can be used to add solo parts to karaoke and to create harmonies by recording the same instrument multiple times. By using the reverb effect, users can create sounds that are even more appealing using just the DR-22WL.
The benefits of Wi-Fi are not limited to recording. Audio files can be transmitted via Wi-Fi to smartphones and computers. They can also be uploaded to SoundCloud using a dedicated application. SoundCloud is tightly linked with other social networking services. For example, if a recording is shared to Facebook, it will appear on the user's timeline. By uploading a live recording immediately after performance, audience members could listen to the concert again on their way home. Even though the DR-22WL is a professional recording device, it also has numerous automatic functions that make capturing high-quality recordings easy for anyone. In addition to automatic recording functions, the unit also has functions that simplify file management. Users can create high-quality recordings without complicated operations.
A major improvement in version 1.2 is the XRI (eXtended Recording Information) feature that can be used with BWF format recordings. It stores the recording settings after each recording and allows the user to identify the recorder as well as the settings used for a certain recording. In addition, a smartphone's GPS information can be embedded while connected to the recorder via Wi-Fi and using the TASCAM DR CONTROL app. Storing GPS data is useful when working in multiple locations, e.g. when making outdoor sound-gathering recordings. XRI information can be displayed on the main unit, on the DR CONTROL app or on other XRI-compatible models and applications.
The new Peak Mark function automatically places a mark two seconds before a detected peak (PEAK LED) during recording, which is useful for post-recording confirmation. When there are no problems found after confirmation, the mark can be deleted. In the BWF format (in the same way as with other types of marks) the peak mark can be utilized in corresponding DAWs. To avoid multiple marks for the same overload event, new marks are only set 10 seconds after the previous peak mark. The new Protect function prevents important recorded files from being mistakenly deleted by operating the main unit. Protection can be switched on or off for each recording file individually.

Why you should ditch your weight loss New Year's resolution in 2022

Experts share why you should skip making weight loss one of your New Year's resolutions. (Image via Getty Images)
This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a qualified medical professional before engaging in any physical activity, or making any changes to your diet, medication or lifestyle.
As a university lecturer, Jennifer Wegmann is used to seeing on-campus gyms fill up with students in January, many of whom have made it their New Year's resolution to get fit and lose weight.
But every year, by the time spring break has come and gone, Wegmann says the majority have already stopped going.
"It's so cyclic in the population that I work with," she says.
In 2017, 33 per cent of Canadians made it their New Year's resolution to improve their personal fitness and nutrition. And in 2019, 59 per cent of Americans resolved to exercise more.
Improving exercise habits is, year after year, one of the most popular New Year's resolutions in North America—a fact that objectively seems positive. After all, working out is proven to be one of the best steps you can take to improve both your physical and mental health, and a fitter population seems as though it would naturally lead to an overall healthier one.

But what happens when the main motivation behind the resolution is as unsustainable as wanting to drop 20 pounds or as punitive as trying to "make up" for indulging during the holidays? According to Wegmann, who teaches health and wellness studies at Binghamton University in New York, you get a whole lot of people who are actually worse off, at least mentally, than they were before undertaking this supposedly health-centred resolution.
Click here to sign up for Yahoo Canada's lifestyle newsletter.
"When we use it as a punishment, and it's punitive, it has the exact opposite effect on particularly our mental health," she tells Yahoo Canada. "Something that's supposed to help us reduce our anxiety now becomes anxiety-inducing. 'If I didn't get there today, if I didn't burn as many calories as I wanted today, if I wasn't there as long as I was supposed to be,' those are all things that are exaggerating the exact mental health conditions that we're trying to alleviate or at least manage with exercise."
Jenna Doak knows just how quickly exercise can go from being healthy to the very opposite depending on the motivation behind it. Doak, a personal trainer who worked in the mainstream fitness industry for more than a decade, has set countless extreme weight loss and fitness resolutions for herself over the years.
"I tried literally everything that has ever been out there—every supplement, every pill, every shake, every type of workout, every workout schedule," she says. "When I was in the thick of trying to be the fittest I could ever be, I was so anxious, I was depressed, I was exhausted, I was an angry person."

Doak blames the popularity of the New Year's resolution on the fitness and diet industries, which she says have made billions by selling people the idea that a drastic weight loss goal can and should be achieved within a certain time frame.
When that doesn't happen, she says people become frustrated, leading them to abandon the resolution altogether while feeling discouraged and inadequate.
"Because we're so wrapped up in believing that these things can happen, we blame ourselves when they don't. And then that just starts a vicious cycle and it is very stressful and hard on your mental health," she says. "If they did work, why have you set the same New Year's resolution every year of your life for the past 20 years? It's almost 100 per cent going to fail."
While trying everything in her power to achieve unrealistic and unsustainable weight loss goals, Doak developed disordered exercise and eating habits. At her thinnest, she says she experienced numerous physical injuries as well as persistent knee and back pain, and her mental health was in the gutter.
Pushed to her breaking point, Doak took a step back from fitness altogether before eventually becoming interested in the Health at Every Size approach, body positivity and what health actually means. She began to unravel all the beliefs she had been taught from the fitness industry for so many years, and says the experience felt, in a sense, like leaving a cult.
That's what inspired her to start Body Positive Fitness (BPF) a "home for folks excluded from or unwelcome in mainstream fitness spaces—no matter [their] size, gender, disability or fitness level."
At BPF, there is absolutely no talk of physical appearance or weight. Instead, the focus is on improving mobility, energy levels, strength, mental health, stress levels, sleep and more.
Experts suggest focusing on improving speed and mobility instead of losing weight. (Getty Images)
"When you're focusing on those types of things rather than a number on a scale, you're actually going to see the changes in these other things, which makes it more rewarding and more enjoyable, and then people do want to keep doing it," she says.
If you're looking to develop a regular, sustainable exercise routine in an effort to improve your overall health without the disordered focus on weight loss and appearance, Doak suggests seeking out a body positive space or instructor, which she says are fortunately becoming more and more prevalent.
She also recommends getting rid of your scale or anything else you use to measure your body. And most importantly, Doak says the way to form fitness habits that will go the distance is to find exercise that you truly enjoy, so working out doesn't feel like a tiresome chore.
"You don't have to run, you don't have to weight-train, you don't have to do yoga," she says. "There are so many different types of movement that we can do, so if it's brand new to you, try them all and see what type of movement does bring you joy."
Wegmann, meanwhile, recommends focusing on a more holistic approach to improving your health.
"I think the best advice that I could give people is to really kind of stay away from this concept of making a New Year's resolution," Wegmann says. "I think it should be about setting sustainable, healthy, achievable goals."

Tired Chelsea draws at Brighton, title further out of reach
BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Winning the Premier League title is looking more unlikely for Chelsea each passing week. After a 1-1 draw at Brighton on Tuesday, the European champions soon might have to start looking over their shoulder in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea's winless run in the league stretched to four games after Brighton defender Adam Webster's powerful header from a corner in the 60th minute canceled out the opening goal by Hakim Ziyech in the 29th.

Yellen says U.S. state, local aid strengthened cities' COVID responses
The $350 billion in coronavirus relief funds for state and local governments has allowed U.S. cities to respond stronger and more nimbly to an ever changing COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday. In remarks prepared for delivery to a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Yellen said state and local governments have been creative in using the funding from last year's American Rescue Plan to meet different needs at different times. "This, I think, is some of what the $350 billion did: When Omicron started spreading around our cities, it did not find them broke and broken; it found them much readier to respond," she said, referring to the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund.

Drug and alcohol abuse
Bath Saltssiteadmin2015-12-17T21:07:14+00:00
There are numerous street names for bath salts, such as Vanilla Sky, Ivory Wave, Blue Silk, Purple Wave, Ocean Snow, White Lightening, Scarface, and Red Dove. Psychoactive bath salts (PABS) are abused designer drugs that often lead to serious intoxication and trips to the emergency room. Bath salts are central nervous stimulants that alter the norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake system, which causes serious or fatal adverse situations and reactions. The main ingredient in this drug is methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), a drug similar to methamphetamine. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) did emergency scheduling of MDPV in 2011, and it was banned in 2012.
Bath salts led to almost 23,000 admissions to the emergency department for symptoms related to bath salts. At least 66 percent of these visits involved a combination of drugs along with the bath salts. The Poison Control Center has had more than 6,000 calls related to exposure to bath salts annually, but in 2013, the number has decreased.
How Bath Salts Work in the Body
MDVP is a hallucinogenic substance that increases levels of dopamine in the brain only one hour after use. Packaged in a powdered form, bath salts come in 200 to 500 milligram packages, and are an off-white color. When snorted, injected, or smoked, these drugs have a high risk for overdose, as rapid absorption leads to a serious high. This causes tachycardia (elevated heart rate), high blood pressure, elevated body temperature, seizures, coma, or even death. Additionally, the user will suffer from hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, panic attacks, and agitation.
Bath salts lead to serious central nervous system stimulation. High doses are associated with psychosis, violent behavior, and toxicity. In the recent study in Michigan, 66 percent of patient experienced agitation, 63 percent reported high heart rate, and 40 percent suffered from hallucinations and delusions. Additionally, many suicides and deaths are attributed to bath salts.
Use of Bath Salts Globally
The DEA reports that bath salts are used in Europe, Australia, Germany, the U.K., the U.S., Canada, and Israel. The first reports in the U.S. were noted in 2009, but prior to the federal ban, certain states enacted bans to limit the use of bath salts. In Marquette County, Michigan, 17 patients were hospitalized and one died during a study on bath salts. Also, 24 subjects reported a history of other drug abuse, and many others had a mental disorder.
For those who overdose on bath salts, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) is often necessary. Doctors will use antipsychotics, sedatives, and restraints to protect the person from harm to others or the self. A severe reaction to bath salts is rhabdomyolysis, where there is destruction of muscle fibers and myoglobin (protein) goes into the bloodstream and da

Rarely does something in print meet or even come close to expectations…but on Friday, July 15th, I had the privilege of fishing a small lake, Wakeley Lake, in north-central Michigan and it more than met any preconceived notions I had going in.
As I opened up my March/April of 2016 edition of Eastern Fly Fishing my attention was immediately drawn to a story on a small lake not too far from where Vickie and I had camped in the summer of 2015. I read with great interests this very well written piece on the subtleties and nuances that were associated with fishing this little gem.
Wakeley Lake is not an easy lake…you don't just drive up to the water, dump out and start fishing. The lake is about a quarter mile off of Michigan highway 72, just a few minutes east of Grayling, Michigan. If you know your fly fishing then you will also know that Grayling is the home to the Au Sable River, which was home to the foundation of Trout Unlimited…but I regress as this is another story for another time.
Vickie and I had left St. Ignace in the UP early on this Friday after spending an awesome day out on Mackinac Island the day before; where I will admit that I packed along my fly fishing gear in a small back pack and stopped at three places on the eastern side of the island and fly fished, all told, about an hour…truth is all I got was skunk-but I had always wanted to see if there were any fish, so I did…and now I know. We crossed the amazing Mackinaw Bridge and once again entered into the 'lower-48' and made our way an hour or so south whereby we went straight to Wakeley…I grabbed my float tube, 6 and 8 weight fly rods, kick fins, box of flies…and made my way down the trail to this simply glorious little lake. Oh, and lest I forget, all of this came after I paid my $5 dollar daily usage fee to the US Forest Service (which turned out to be the best fishing money I spent on our vacation).
Not only as it a good walk with all of my gear in tow…but the lake itself is only open from mid-June to the end of August; all fishing is to be done with artificial lures and catch/release is also mandatory! Now, you might ask why go to all this trouble…in my first 10 casts I caught two bass, both very chunky 16 inchers and a 22 inch toothy pike who had all sorts of attitude.
Never before have I been 'treated' to such great fly fishing as I had for those three hours…I won't say that I caught fish on every casts but I will tell you with all regard that in the three hours I landed about 30 nice bass to go along with 8 pike. I must admit that I had to have rolled the dice perfectly on this day as upon arrival the only other canoe on the lake packed up and left. Weather was probably a factor as sheets of rain were rolling in from the east and at times it was darn hard to see too far. All this said, it was a perfect fishing day as the rain and cloud cover…along with the change in barometer had the fish in an eating frenzy.
One of the coolest moments came about halfway through as I looked over my shoulder and there before me, not 20 feet was a loon. It was preening and going through all sorts of motions…and the best part is that it didn't seem to care that I was so close, maybe it thought I was some sort of critter being so low to the water in my float tube…maybe it thought this guy is crazy to be out here on a day when it was in the low 50's and raining…either way it was a real treat for me and about an hour later as I was heading back across the lake, my friend the loon, it opened up repeatedly with its lonesome and melodious cry. It is one thing to hear this cry on a movie and another altogether to be out in the 'wild' and be an audience to it!
Hard work is nothing I am shy or afraid of and frankly I am bit odd in that I really like to work for my fishing and my fishing opportunities. As it turned out Wakeley Lake might just be the perfect spot for those others like me. I have had bird hunting opportunities whereby I didn't really know what the dogs had pointed and was often surprised with a cackling ringneck when I thought we were in quail country; this was much the same as I had my 6 weight rod with sink tip line and a big shad pattern as well as my 8 weight rod and a big shad popper, I was alternating between the two…the beauty and excitement came as I often didn't know what I had on the other end until I got it very close to my float tube. I will admit that much more care and caution was given to the pike than was to the bass as their rows of sharp teeth can easily wreck even the toughest hands. If you have ever tried to land a 25 inch, 5 pound pike from a float tube whereby you have to pull the fish into your lap…give it a try sometime as it is a real thrill.
As I kicked back across the lake I couldn't help but just smile as the day I had just experienced will be one of 'those' days, one I won't forget…one that I hope to get to recreate on many other days; I often feel tired at the end of these long sessions-whereby I am my own motor…but on this day I had been rejuvenated, foul weather and all…what a day to Enjoy the Great Outdoors.
Thanks for the comments…I've told several that this was one of the finest three hours I've ever had fishing….to have it to myself was also very special. Maybe you can help…..does the Michigan DNR have any other lakes such as Wakeley? I'd love to fish them this fall or the next time we were up north…what a special, special place!
I will forward this to my husband Joe gomola . He loved your article . We live in PA now . He works on the Allegheny National Forest . He keeps up with all the fishing up in Michigan. Joe is a wildlife biologist. Avid fly fisherman . He just loved your article. He happens to be in Mio by wakeley right now . He is a wild land forest hot shot fire fighter.
I'm going to set up Twitter on his phone so he can follow you .
Again will forward your question . Have him respond .
thanks for the reply and for the nice words. I am so looking forward to next summer and another trip north to Wakeley as I plan on bringing an older friend and my son along so that they too can experience the lake and the Au Sable…what an awesome place to see!
To the best of my knowledge wakeley lake is a one off for non motorized, artificial only, catch and release, with walk in access. The lake was private until the 1980's when it was sold to the USFS. The state of Michigan took the opportunity to try something new because the public didn't have access prior to the acquisition. It wasn't well recieved by the public at the time.
There is one other lake that may be non motorized and catch and release but I think it is all tackle and you can drive right to it. I wish I could remember the name. Just check the regulations it should be listed in there. I think it was in the Gaylord area but it was 10 years ago and I don't remember.
Thanks for the reply and information…this is such an awesome idea and too bad that other states can't figure this out and replicate it and its success. The part I liked the most were actually the regulations as I know this indeed had to cut out many of the folks looking for an easy trip….thanks again….

Q: How to enable Drag Files Here in jQuery UI Widget? I am using jQuery UI widget Sample http://www.plupload.com/example_jquery_ui.php
Here is my code
$("#uploader").plupload({
  // General settings
  runtimes : 'gears,flash,silverlight,browserplus,html5',
  url : 'upload.php',
  max_file_size : '10mb',
  chunk_size : '1mb',
  unique_names : true,

  // Resize images on clientside if we can
  resize : {width : 320, height : 240, quality : 90},

  // Specify what files to browse for
  filters : [
    {title : "Image files", extensions : "jpg,gif,png"},
    {title : "Zip files", extensions : "zip"}
  ],

  // Flash settings
  flash_swf_url : '/plupload/js/plupload.flash.swf',

  // Silverlight settings
  silverlight_xap_url : '/plupload/js/plupload.silverlight.xap'
});

But the problem is how can I enable Drag Files Here?
Unlike in Events Sample Drag Files is enable?
http://www.plupload.com/example_events.php

A: The availability of the drag and drop feature depends on your browser and on the current runtime. Looking at Plupload sources, as far as I know, the feature is only available on HTML5 runtime (your examples differ on the runtime order, so run on different runtimes, some of which do not feature drag and drop)
To enable drag and drop on modern browsers, you should put html5 first in your runtime list :
runtimes : 'html5,gears,flash,silverlight,browserplus',

The great conspiracy against Julius Caesar - Kathryn Tempest
On March 15th, 44 BCE, Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of about 60 of his own senators. Why did these self-titled Liberators want him dead? And why did Brutus, whose own life had been saved by Caesar, join in the plot? Kathryn Tempest investigates the personal and political assassination of Julius Caesar.

What kind of man was Julius Caesar? Why was he assassinated? The assassination of Caesar was a momentous event and many ancient historians subsequently wrote about it. There are notable differences in their accounts. How many conspirators were there? What was Caesar's reaction? Who was responsible? It is still possible to create a remarkably standard narrative of the events of that fateful day. Create a timeline by first visiting Beware the Ides of March. Why is this phrase still popular today? Follow with a description of the Death of Caesar. What happened after the vicious attack on Caesar?
Non-textual sources can also help us understand Marcus Brutus better. Coins in particular enable us to see how Brutus presented his political agenda at the time. You can look at some of Brutus' coins here. What lasting messages did these coins leave with the imagery inscribed upon them?
Shakespeare was intensely inspired by the Classical past and many of his plays were based on stories from ancient Greece and Rome. Julius Caesar is one of three plays set in ancient Rome (the other two are Antony and Cleopatra and Corialanus). Today they are conveniently referred to as the 'Roman plays'. You can read a synopsis of his Julius Caesar and much more fascinating information here. It may seem daunting to read a Shakespearean play from cover to cover, but it is highly recommended.

Russian Revolution Sources Question
We can learn a lot about the two characters from their childhood experience. Lenin was born into a middle class family while Stalin was the son of a poor cobbler. Lenin had a far more comfortable childhood than Stalin, the latter was beaten by his father and I think these experiences actually made him stronger and this helped him become a brutal dictator. Also he learned early to hide his true feelings and to bide his time, this definitely helped him succeed as a strong politician.
The childhood experience that most affected Lenin was the hanging of his brother in 1887 for plotting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III. This seemed to turn him against the Tsarist regime and from here he started to read the works of Karl Marx. Stalin also read Marx and this tells us they have very similar beliefs. Both wanted to achieve communism and they believed the Tsar should be overthrown and Russia to become first a socialist and then a communist country.
It could be said that their characters were very similar. Stalin is famed for his purges and the taking of the grain from the peasants for his collectivisation. This led many people's view that his character was an evil one while Lenin was a good, gentle man. But he too took grain from the peasants for 'War Communism'. Also his secret police, the CHEKA arrested tortured and executed those who opposed the Bolsheviks.
But Stalin's killings were on a far bigger scale. By the end of Lenin's reign around 250,000 people had been executed while purges resulted in 7 million being shot in 1935-1941 alone.
Perhaps the greatest summing up of Stalin's character was the name he gave himself, Stalin. He was actually born Iosef Dzhugasvelli. Stalin actually means 'steel' and his strength proves that he was a man of steel. For example when the Germans kidnapped is son during WW2 he refused a German offer to exchange his son.
Although Lenin and Stalin had the same ultimate goal, communism, they had very different ideas about achieving it. Lenin believed that by teaching the Russian people the glories of Communism he could then get everyone on his side and Communism would be great for the Russian people. By contrast Stalin forced everyone to believe in Communism by sending them to a gulag if they didn't.
Both were skilful politicians who knew how to use their strengths to get what they wanted and both most importantly had strong enough characters and strong enough beliefs to control the world's biggest country.
Some think that Lenin was a modest man who had no personal ambition, Davis Shub said in 'Lenin: an autobiography' that "no dictator in history was less vain".
Other historians see him as a ruthless man who used terror to stay in power. Maxim Gorky, a writer and Lenin's friend said Lenin had a "lack of morality and a merciless, lordly harshness towards the lives of the masses."
But there is no doubt that Lenin had a huge impact on Russia and the Russian people.
Without Lenin Russia would probably not of become a communist country in November 1917. He was the main person who encouraged the Russians to seize power, many thought they had to wait.
For many Russian people communism was a good thing. Peasants were able to take land from their owners. At first the Bolsheviks the peasants were useless but Lenin realised they were important to the revolution. Trotsky, a fellow Bolshevik described the Russian peasants as "the pack-animals of history". Lenin stole the land policy from the social revolutionaries, this put the peasants on the Bolshevik's side. This shows Lenin's ability to change his policies to get the Russian people on his side.
But Lenin's policies were not all positive for the Russian peasants who made up the majority of the population. The famine of 1921, where millions died, was mainly due to Lenin's policies, in particular 'War Communism'. This meant that the government controlled industry and the economy, the aim was to keep the Red Army supplied with foods and weapons so it could win the civil war.
War Communism worked in this sense, for Russia it was a success, the Reds defeated the Whites. But for the Russian people, War Communism led to famine. War Communism was not the only factor, Lenin had no control over the drought of 1920 and 1921 but it was the seizing of the grain from the peasants for the Army which was the main cause. Lenin ordered the CHEKA (his secret police) to take all the surplus grain. This led to the farmers planting no more than they needed because they knew they could not sell it. The total amount of grain that was grown in 1921 was half the amount grown in 1913.
Lenin also pulled Russia out of the First World War, for Russia this had a good and bad impact. They lost a lot of land and industry in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk although they did gain some of it back within a year. On the other hand, by pulling out of the War he saved money, lives and possible humiliation. For the Russian people, pulling out of the War was a good thing, millions of soldiers were dying which put morale down.
After Lenin ended War Communism following the end of the Civil War, he introduced this NEP (New Economic Policy). He introduced it because he said that the Soviet economy in 1921 was in "poverty and ruin". The NEP encouraged "freedom of trade" and "freedom for the small private owner". This is encouraging entrepreneurs so it looks like capitalism, this does not follow Marxist theory and Communism. For Russia and more importantly Communism it is a step towards the capitalist Western world. But for the Russian people it was a success, grain and coal production increased because of it.
For the Russian people, Lenin's "Red Terror" was an awful thing, the CHEKA arrested, tortured and executed those who opposed the Communists. This led to Russia becoming a one party state, he did not let opposition parties even have meetings. In addition the Communist Party censored all media such as newspapers. After Lenin's death, these things were weapons that Stalin was able to use for his tyranny. For Russia you could say this was a good thing because it meant Communism could have no opposition which gave leaders the right to do what is best for Russia, although not necessarily the Russian people as the millions who died under Stalin's brutal reign were going to find out.
At 50, Stalin was the undisputed leader of Russia and he, Lenin before him, was going to have a huge impact on Russia and the Russian people.
In 1953, the year of his death Stalin had turned Russia into a world superpower and had helped the Soviet Union grow by taking over a string of Eastern European states. But in the same time he had killed as many as 20 million of his own people and destroyed individual freedom and failed to promote individual prosperity for the Russian people.
Perhaps the most important thing that Stalin did was his industrialisation of Russia. He said in a speech in 1931 that "either we [industrialise] or they crush us". He helped Russia to catch up with the Western world and for Russia this was a great thing, Russia needed to industrialise because it meant that firstly, it would be self-sufficient and not rely on the West and secondly, Russia would be able to defend herself against other countries. Finally, it could be said that Russia needed to industrialise to prove to the Western world that Communism worked.
In Russia industrialisation worked but at a huge cost. There was less food because it was sold abroad, this led to famine. Industrialisation meant that millions of Russians moved into cities with factories, this led to housing problems. Many people had to sleep in incredibly cramped dormitories and some even in tents, this was particularly bad because of the harsh winters.
But things did improve in the cities and the standard of living in many cities grew to levels the Russian proletariat had never known before. For example, in Magnitogorsk, a large industrial city, had 90,000 theatre seats.
With industrialisation came collectivisation. This meant that the government everything, most importantly this meant the farms. Instead of different people owning small bits of land, the government took them over and joined them into vast collective farms. The people who used to own the farms, the Kulaks (land-owning peasants) were sent to gulags (labour camps).
Stalin sent many people to these gulags. In just three years the number of prisoners in these camps increased from 30,000 to, as some historians have said, as many as twenty million. For Russia, this was a positive thing, the prisoners were brilliant workers, you did not need to pay them or give them houses. For example, the Belomer Canal was built by 300,000 prisoners in just 20 months. This was incredible since the canal was 1,500 kilometres long and was made without machinery. Stalin hailed it as a great success of Communism but it was at the price of over 100,000 lives.
The reason that there were so many people in gulags was because of Stalin's purges. Anyone who Stalin thought was against him, his secret police captured and sent to gulags without trial. Sometimes they did have a 'show' trial, the person always had to plead guilty otherwise they would be tortured or their families hurt.
For Russia, this was good because people did what they were told and could not question the government. Therefore they could not do what they wanted. But for the Russian people, the purges and the secret police meant there was no freedom of expression. There was only one newspaper and that was controlled by the Communist party. Only certain books were published and other political parties were banned.
Yet not everything Stalin did was bad for the Russian people. For example, the health care system vastly improved and during much of Stalin's time in power, the USSR had more doctors per person than Great Britain.
In Russia under Lenin religious worship was allowed but made very difficult by churches being taken over and stripped of valuables and many were burned down. Under Stalin things were much the same until after World War II. The Church helped the government to win. For the Russian people this was a great thing for it allowed more freedom. For Russia however it was a step back from Communism, after all Marx had called religion "the opium of the masses".
Winning the war was perhaps Stalin's greatest achievement. Russia proved that they could stand up to the West. However Stalin did not make it easy. He had killed 25,000 senior officers during the purges, this meant poor leadership and as a result millions of soldiers died in battle.
In my opinion Stalin should have tried everything to stop the War because although they won, the cost was enormous. An incredible 20 million died and 70,000 villages destroyed.
The one thing Stalin did that most helped the war effort was to move factories to beyond the Ural mountains. This meant they could continue making weapons whilst fighting the War and they could not be attacked by the Germans. For Russia this was a very good, if expensive, thing. For the Russian people, however, this meant many had to move to another place, this could often uproot whole societies.
Stalin undoubtedly had a huge impact on Russia. He also made a greater impact on the lives of more people than anyone else this century, if not in history.
Both Lenin and Stalin had a huge impact on Russia and her people and this makes them both incredibly important in Russian and indeed world history. It is very difficult to say however who is the more important figure.
Obviously Lenin is important because without him there would have been no revolution in November 1917. He persuaded the other Bolsheviks to seize power, many of them had been waiting and waiting. During Lenin's reign he did many things that made him an important figure in Russian history. He helped win the civil war between 1918-1921, however Stalin also won a war, World War II. But although they both won wars, they were both at a huge cost. For Stalin many towns were destroyed and also factories. Lenin needed to keep the army supplied with food and weapons and he did this with his 'War Communism' policy. This meant government took over businesses and some farms. The CHEKA also took lots of grain from farms so the Army could be fed. This led to the Great Famine of 1921.
Stalin's collectivisation also caused a famine. They did this so they could get grain to sell abroad to finance industrialisation. Industrialisation is one of the things Stalin will be remembered for, when people look back at Russian history. He made Russia an industrialised country, which meant Russia could defend itself from other countries, also they could become self-sufficient and not rely on the West.
The two famines in these times resulted in many deaths, which can be indirectly attributed to both Lenin and Stalin.
They are both however directly attributed to the killing of the people killed by the CHEKA and the ORKANARA, the secret police of Lenin and Stalin respectively. Lenin and Stalin both arrested, tortured and executed those who opposed them. Trotsky, Lenin's assistant in the Parliament, said that the CHEKA "shoot [those] who are trying to restore the capitalist way of life". Both Lenin and Stalin used Communism as a justification for many of their actions, particularly their killings. Stalin killed and sent to prison a vast amount of people, fare more than Lenin. But Lenin's CHEKA still killed 100,000s of people, Stalin killed more than 10 million it is estimated by some historians. Obviously this makes him a very, very important figure in Russian history. One reason Stalin killed far more was because he was in power for far longer, 24 years as opposed to Lenin's 7, it is important to consider this when you see who is the more important figure.
Considering the short space of time, Lenin did a huge amount and no one in Russian history has done so many important things in so little time. Due to the amount of time Stalin had in power he had longer to do what he wanted. For example the Health System improved by an enormous amount and although life was hard for workers in the factories at first, the quality of life improved, some knew houses even had running water and electricity.
When thinking about whom is the most important figure, it is important to think about what would have happened if they had not been alive. In my opinion if Lenin had of not been there in 1917 eventually the communists would of taken over, but perhaps not as early. Many of their policies would also have been the same because most were obvious, common sense policies. I think 'War Communism' was an obvious one, as was the NEP that followed and not just Lenin would have thought of it.
By contrast Stalin change many policies that Lenin had introduced and nobody else would have done this in my opinion. For example, a man who could of been leader instead of Stalin, Trotsky believed that the ultimate goal was to spread communism whereas Stalin believed that he should make Russia a powerful country, with a hug army and a great amount of heavy industry.
Also none of the other leaders who may of taken power believed that they should send so many people to prison an kill so many in his purges.
So in my opinion Stalin was the most important figure because he individually had the power and used it to control Russia while Lenin was helped greatly by his government. In addition Stalin had far longer to exert power and he changed the face of Russia. But there is no way that you should forget the extraordinary role Lenin played in Russian history

Students urged to recycle coffee cups
Commerce students launch sustainability initiative on campus to promote recycling, divert waste
Chloe Sobel
Do A Goode Thing launched at Goodes Hall on Tuesday.
A new campaign run by commerce students is urging Queen's to "Do A Goode Thing" and recycle coffee cups.
The campaign promotes coffee cup recycling in order to divert waste. So far, it's placed stickers on recycling bins at Goodes Hall to show students that cups can be recycled in plastics bins, and plans to expand to other buildings in the future. It may also install coffee cup-specific recycling bins at Goodes.
Coffee cups have been recyclable at Queen's since 2011. A survey of campus food outlets asking how many to-go coffee cups they sold annually showed that 1.1 million coffee cups went into the waste stream in 2011, according to Llynwen Osborne, recycling coordinator at the Sustainability Office.
Cameron Prouse came up with the idea to encourage recycling while he was living in a University of Toronto residence this summer and working at Deloitte Canada.
"I noticed that at U of T they actually have a separate bin for just coffee cups," said Prouse, Comm '15. "Everyone drinks coffee all the time, and they go for coffee breaks, and the biggest thing that I noticed was they don't use reusable mugs, 'cause it's too much of a hassle to wash.
"My initial plan was actually to do it where I worked this summer at Deloitte, but it just so happened that there was actually a class that we needed to do a change project for, and then this was the idea that we went with."
Prouse and his partners, Guanneng Ng, Ilona Huynh, Jennifer Van der Wee and Erynn Linehan, launched Do A Goode Thing on Tuesday at Goodes Hall.
He said they're working with the Sustainability Office to potentially spread the campaign to other buildings at Queen's, including Beamish-Munro Hall. The campaign has also been approached by the Queen's School of Business Centre for Social Impact (QSB CSI), which Prouse said has raised $100,000 and is looking to use that to fund similar projects at the School of Business.
"They're thinking about launching an annual Do A Goode Thing campaign off of that," he said.
He said the CSI has offered to buy coffee cup-specific bins for Goodes Hall, which was the group's original plan. He added that they'd looked at bins from a company in Texas that were $40 each, but the group on its own didn't have the money to purchase the bins.
In the meantime, they've placed stickers on recycling bins at Goodes.
"It makes it idiot-proof," he said. "That's why U of T, I think, is so successful, because it's just a coffee cup bin."
Prouse said the response to the campaign has been "unbelievable".
"Everyone's been very, very engaged in terms of social media with the response to it," he said.
He said he thinks they've been so successful in terms of engagement because it's a campaign run by students reaching out to students.
"We can reach out to the students more directly than the faculty or the staff saying 'let's do this'."
Do A Goode Thing didn't come up with success metrics for the campaign, he said, but rather are seeking to just raise awareness and making throwing out a coffee cup frowned upon.
"It's very cliche but … we're saving the world one coffee cup at a time," he said.
"All you do is you take off your sleeve, you put your sleeve in the paper, and then you put your cup and lid in the plastic cans recycling. And it's so easy to do, and we can divert so much waste from landfills," he added.

Issue #3600 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.
I've had reasonable success with compiling 1.9.1 on HP-UX.  But 1.9.2 has been problematic since preview3 came out.  It seems the main issue is with threads.  A very simple example (as follows) works fine on 1.9.1 but the thread never seems to start on 1.9.2-rc2.
Some other times I get a seg-fault.  Can anyone point me to changes to threading in 1.9.2 so that I can investigate this more quickly and maybe find a solution?
