If you've ever felt that Smash Up was missing that classic sci-fi feel, then look no further. Slimey shapeshifters are taking over. Spies are infiltrating the game, and decks. Time travelers are messing with the deck-base continuum. And angry enhanced apes are making a complete mess of things. These four factions come together to bring more chaos and control to your Smash Up games. If you're wondering how this set could add to your experiences, then read on to see the strengths of each new faction.
This review is purely to examine the mechanics of this expansion and does not include a how-to-play section. Please read how to play Smash Up in our review of the base game!
The factions of Science Fiction Double Feature fit the classic sci-fi movie themes, but with crazy new mechanics for your Smash Up games. Overall mechanic of these four new factions is deck/board manipulation. Everything from using your discard pile as your hand, cycling through the cards in your draw pile and more. Now, for a closer look at each faction.
The first faction we will discuss are the Time Travelers. These guys have lots of fun tricks, but mostly have to do with manipulating how often cards hit the table. There are a lot of chances to return minions from play to your hand and play them again, return minions to your hand once a base scores, and more. A lot of actions include shuffling cards from your discard deck back into your draw deck, or putting the card at the bottom of your draw pile once it has been played. They also do a lot of messing around with bases themselves such as preventing them from scoring. Fun combinations with Time Travelers would be Wizards or Tricksters.
Next up are the Cyborg Apes. These guys let you keep minions on the board even after bases score, use actions from your discard pile, and pack on the pain. Cyborg Apes are absolutely an aggressive faction. While not all of these monkeys are big, they can get big quickly with the introduction of +1 power text. Cyborg Apes allow you to quickly wipe out the progress of other players such as destroying minions, removing actions played on a base, and more. These enhanced monkeys would pair well with Dinosaurs, Plants, Zombies, or any other faction that get big quickly.
Super Spies, calling in! This sly faction is all about deck manipulation – both yours and your opponents'. The spies will reveal cards from draw decks and cause them to be discarded, or added to the bottom of the draw deck. They can let you look at cards on your draw pile, and place them in any order on top or bottom of your draw deck. Setting yourself up for great combos is what the Super Spies is all about, as well as getting rid of your opponents good draws that would be coming up in future turns. The Super Spies would pair really well with Robots, Innsmouth, Wizards, or Ninjas – factions that heavily depend on combo plays.
And the last faction we'll look at in this set are the Shapeshifters. These slimey guys share the use of +X power that the Cyborg Apes use. However, the Shapeshifters have very few independent powers outside of stealing the appearance and powers of other minions. For example, Mimic shares a Power value with the highest Power value of any minion in play. This means if you've dropped a massive Elder Thing, Mimic is right along with it. Other cards, both actions and minions, allow them to use the same abilities as another minion in play. They maintain a board presence as well by allowing you to play another minion once they leave the field. Shapeshifters work well with big factions such as Dinosaurs, Bear Calvary, and Elder Things. But remember, with their copying ability, they can "work well" with just about any faction, even if it is the ones they're up against.
The bases in this expansion will remind you a lot of the factions they are tied to such as replacing the scored base with one from the base discard pile (Time Travelers), search your deck for a minion sharing the name of one you play there (Shapeshifters), adding +1 Power to minions when you add actions (Cyborg Apes), and looking at cards in their draw pile and organizing them as they like (Super Spies).
Enough Manipulation To Make It A Worthy Addition?
This set was an interesting one for sure, as it brought new mechanics in that we hadn't seen before. Overall, I think this is a great expansion set. My favorite faction? Probably the Cyborg Apes. I even ended up with a Cyborg Apes/Shapeshifter combo and it was just destruction left and right.
As far as the factions that directly use deck manipulation, I felt that Super Spies were the best, as you had the option of putting your cards on top, and you'd obviously draw into these on the current or future turn. Depending on what faction they were paired with, could be a deadly combination to set up your perfect play.
My least favorite faction in this set were the Time Travelers. I wonder if they were running out of ideas for this faction because the 5 Power minion (Doctor When) has essentially the same ability as an action (Do Over!). Most of the deck manipulation with this faction has to do with putting cards at the bottom of your deck. I really do think this faction could've done with an action or minion that allowed you to draw from the bottom of the deck to make this a bit more enticing.
As a standalone faction, Cyborg Apes would have to take first place for me from this set. They are big, can build incredible defenses, and quickly take over a base. Being able to keep these minions on the board is a dangerous feat as they are pretty relentless with other minions. I do think that it isn't just a smash smash faction though. A lot of abilities return cards to your hand or allow you to draw extra, and if you have too many cards, that is a problem too – if you discard the wrong things. Your big power guy lets you play actions from your discard pile, so keep this in mind if you represent this faction.
Shapeshifters make an amazing support faction. As I said in the section above, they would pair really well with big factions such as Dinosaurs and Elder Things. Their ability to copy abilities and power of other minions means that if you're playing opposite of them, you better find a way to keep them off the table. Your minions are just a buffet to copy from, and trust me , they will.
This is a great expansion for Smash Up. I think that while all factions have a strong manipulation mechanic of some sort, they all work independently enough that you truly feel like you're getting a good spread of strategy amongst the four. And besides, you now have a use for all of those extra VP tokens that are laying around with each expansion – use them for +1 power tokens! I would strongly suggest any Smash Up fan add this expansion to their collection, even if they only own the base game.

But i only own one domain name, which can only resolve to one IPv6 address:

*

*superfault.com: 2001::1
So how to i find the IP address of all my other devices? The simple method is to use my firewall device as a proxy - which is the functionality that NAT provides. The undesirable, and expensive way, is to find a free domain name for every IPv6 address i own.
What's the IPv6 equivalent of NAT?

Update:
The other problem is that IPv6 does not allow
http://superuser.com

you have to use:
http://www.superuser.com

So if a user forgets the www, then your site will appear broken.
Same way that IPv6 does not allow:
ftp://superuser.com

as you have to use:
ftp://ftp.superuser.com

and it doesn't allow
> ventrillo superuser.com

you have to be sure to tell users:
> ventrillo ventrillo.superuser.com

A: That's what subdomains are for.
If you own, for example, superfault.com, you can freely create desktop.superfault.com, mail.superfault.com, ian.superfault.com... (If you don't – buy one, they are fairly cheap. Or visit za.net or eu.org for a free domain.)
Also, you do not need NAT in order to forward ports. Try ip6tables with -j TPROXY.

A: What makes you think that you only own that domain name, and no subdomains thereof?  Conventionally in the domain name system, the owner of example.net. thereby gets to be the owner of

*

*workstations.example.net.

*mike.workstations.example.net.

*betty.workstations.example.net.

*second.servers.example.net.

*third.servers.example.net., and even

*ian.boyd.personal-laptops.example.net.
If you don't have control of the subdomains, then you don't really own the domain in the first place.  If you do own the domain, then the answer here is the simple and straightforward one that the rest of the world widely uses.  ☺

HELP Seminar on Health For All
NGOs, CSOs should all strive for Universal
Health Coverage- Prof. D. S. Akram
KARACHI: There is a dire need of immediate attention towards the condition and availabilities of health facilities in faraway areas and especially to the poorest, low-income and marginalized communities. This was stated by speakers at a seminar on "HEALTH FOR ALL" organized by Health Education and Literacy Program (HELP). The purpose of the seminar was to create awareness regarding Universal Health Coverage (UHG) and advocate the stakeholders and Government to adopt Universal Health Coverage (UHG) as their top health priority for all without any discrimination. Mr. Imtiaz Shaikh (Member Provincial Assembly, SINDH) was the Chief Guest.
Professor Dr. D.S. Akram, Honorary Chairperson HELP talked about the Role of Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in UHS. She highlighted that NGOs and CSOs have an important role to strengthen the UHC movement by influencing policy to achieve equity focus agenda. She also emphasized that NGOs can apply pressure on policy makers to achieve accountability and be the voice of communities. She gave examples of innovative methods to explore community based insurance and ways of diverting more public resources for the poor and vulnerable.
Ms. Rehana Memon speaking at seminar on "HEALTH FOR ALL" organized by
Health Education and Literacy Program (HELP) at a local hotel in Karachi recently.
Sitting on the dais are Professor Dr. D.S. Akram & Mr. Imtiaz Shaikh.
Health for all Prof. D.S. Akram stated is a goal and it should be goal of our politicians as well because we cannot achieve anything if we do not have any targets to achieve. Health system should be effective, funds provision is must to provide health cover. Universal Health Coverage should relate to community system strengthening and how health services are delivered. Attempts should be made to ensure that all people obtain health cover and government should also increase their share. Community based health insurance should be further explored so that the disadvantaged gets the maximum coverage. As a corporate social responsibility corporate sector should at least spend 2% from their corporate profits on health. Government should divert funds from tertiary care to primary healthcare and also reduce the defense budget.
Mr. Imtiaz Shaikh, congratulated the HELP for organizing the informative seminar. He emphasized that this issue is of paramount importance for the present government. It has always tried to ensure that the health coverage is available for all especially in faraway areas. He assured to raise this issue in the parliament and work with Health & Planning Department exploring the best way to making more public resources available and finding other innovative method to improve health coverage with equity.
Ms. Rehana Memon, Secretary Development, Government of Sindh said that health and education is the top priority of Sindh government. It is time to act fast, we are doing a lot but more is needed. Primary care should be given importance. Investment in public health will reduce the poverty and wellbeing of the people will be improved, she added.
Earlier Dr. Amara Shakeel talked about What is the Universal Health Coverage? It`s importance for poor and marginalized people. She shared the Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) background Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and also highlighted the Health Status of Pakistan. Universal Health coverage means that every person, everywhere has access to quality health care without suffering financial hardship.

A woven wall hanging. It is a loose-knitted weaving with bright coloured orange, blue, red and green wool. The hanging is supported at the top with a length of carved wood with one smoke-marked tip. Wooden poker-worked carved lizard and snake sculptures are woven into the wool around the centre. There are long tassles of wool creating a fringe at the bottom of the hanging.
The collection comprises a broad range of objects including batiks, pokerwork carvings, paintings and pastel drawings on paper and other art and craft items, bibles and school readers in Pitjantjatjara, drawings by school children, photograph albums, videos and a small number of stone implements.
The collection is significant for the depth and range of material associated with a single Aboriginal settlement at Ernabella, now known as Pukatja, its art centre and with Deaconness Winifred Hilliard who was the Arts Advisor to Ernabella between 1954 and 1986. The collection largely dates to this period. Along with other material previously donated by Hilliard, this collection documents the history of Ernabella and the women's art movement there between, but not limited to, 1954 and 1986.


minehacker, if you have access to homebrew, you can likely install BootMii and dump your NAND (+ the OTP which includes keys) from there. And also fix your Wii.
You probably don't want to share your keys, because anyone would be able to download games you have bought with them.
Yeah i can access homebrew from priiloader, so i can install bootmii from the homebrew loader?
i still have a strange problem.
into the Wii folder, everything works fine. I can do the Wii update and i can access the Wii shop channel.

Before the error the channel warns me my region has changed (USA->Spain) but my Nand region has always been Spain, ripped from a PAL wii.
Maybe is the SSL certificate the cause of the problem? Did I get a USA certificated from ios IOS13-64-v1032?
I got the 205906 error as well, but I tried exiting to the Wii Menu and then opening the shop channel again a few times (I'm stubborn). On the third attempt, the 205906 error message appeared, but upon clicking to return to the Wii Menu it instead continued on to the shop interface. I successfully downloaded previously purchased WiiWare, and purchased new items.
This same process (trying, error message, trying again a few times, succeeding) worked on two different computers - maybe it will work for you?
The only error message I'm getting any more is "Section IPL.E60 not found in SYSCONF". I have no idea what it means, but it's not interfering with actually running any software, so I'm not rushing to figure it out yet.


I dropped my Dell Inspiron 910 and it landed open, looking like a roof. I broke off 2 parts of the snaps on the rear cover, and it is so annoying to snap in the bezel and hinge covering. when one side is clipped in, the other side unclips. I have briefly checked for rear casing removals, but could not find one. I am also hoping to replace this boring black back, as it is scratched and the color is outdated and very generic. I know how to remove the bezel, it's just unsnapping the snaps. Can someone make or find a guide of how to remove the rear cover of this netbook?
It doesn't show how to remove the cover but shows how to remove all the components so perhaps that may be of some help in gaining access to the cover.
Here's a link to just one supplier of the part. It is shown just to give you an idea of the cost of the part.
There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for Dell Inspiron 910 parts to get results.
Wow, I've seen this before. I just noticed the Display Assembly part.

Who Killed the Debt Deal? Hint: His Initials are EC
In the New York Times Magazine this weekend, Matt Bai has yet another gigantic story about what really happened last year to kill the "grand bargain" deficit deal between Barack Obama and John Boehner. When I saw it, I sighed. Do I really want to read another one of these things? Luckily, I can now easily
download monster pieces like this to my iPad and then read them in the comfort of my easy chair, so I ended up reading it after all. There was, as near as I can tell, one genuinely significant new item of information in the piece.
First, a nickel summary. Last July, after several weeks of on-again-off-again negotiation, Boehner and Obama reached a kinda-sorta handshake agreement on a deficit deal that would raise $800 billion in revenue (though this part of the deal was shaky) and cut $1.7 trillion in spending. But then the Gang of Six, a bipartisan group of Democratic and Republican senators, announced a deal of their own that included about $2 trillion in extra revenue. A substantial number of Republican senators expressed support for this package, and Obama immediately understood that Democrats in Congress would revolt if he asked them to approve a package with far smaller revenue increases than even a lot of Republicans were willing to concede. So he went back to Boehner and asked for a deal that included both more revenue and deeper spending cuts. At that point the deal fell apart.
So what happened? Boehner's story is that Obama reneged on a handshake deal. Obama's story is that no final deal had ever been agreed to. It's true that he pushed for more revenue concessions all the way to the end, but he was also willing to go back to the original deal if the bigger package turned out to be a nonstarter. In the end, though, the problem was that Boehner couldn't get his own caucus to agree to any deal that included additional revenue.
So who's right? Some of both, of course. Obama did push for extra revenue after the Gang of Six announcement, but it turns out that Boehner wasn't quite as shocked by Obama's proposal as he later pretended:
By the next morning, both men were facing rebellions on the Hill. The Times's Carl Hulse and Jackie Calmes had written a front-page article disclosing the existence of the new round of talks and asserting that a deal was very near….And yet, even then, as powerful contingents in both parties rose up to oppose a deal that was already tenuous, negotiations were proceeding amiably and apace. At the White House that Thursday morning, July 21, Jackson, Loper, Nabors, Sperling and Lew, among other aides, agreed to set aside the revenue question and focus on hammering out some of the smaller discrepancies in the two offers.
….The speaker's story about this moment in the negotiations has always been remarkably consistent….The additional revenue that Obama demanded was a "nonstarter," he says….Boehner had no choice but to walk away from the negotiations….[But] Boehner wanted a deal badly enough to stay at the table for 48 hours after Obama "moved the goal posts," which casts doubt on his claim that this breach of trust was an obvious dealbreaker.
….As part of a broader proposal, which has remained until now a closely held secret, Boehner was apparently open to meeting the president at the new, higher revenue target — a concession that most likely would have meant abandoning the idea that no taxes would have to be raised. Had that counteroffer ever made it to Obama's desk, it's not hard to imagine that the grand bargain would have gotten done within 24 hours, at great political risk to both men….What happened, instead, based on extensive reporting, was this: Boehner raised the possibility of his counteroffer with Cantor on that Thursday afternoon, and Cantor dismissed the suggestion out of hand.
….Boehner talked to Obama a short while later. The president laid out the options as he would later relay them to Reid and Pelosi: more revenue and a bigger package, or the $800 billion and a smaller one. Boehner heard him out, but by then he must have known, from his discussions with Cantor and others, that neither option was going anywhere in his own caucus. It was one thing to risk your speakership on a grand bargain, which Boehner had without question been willing and even eager to do. It was another thing to throw that speakership away with little chance of success, which is what Obama was now asking of him.
Bai makes it pretty clear that although the Gang of Six really did throw a monkey wrench into the negotiations, it was Eric Cantor who definitively killed the deal, making it clear to Boehner that the Republican caucus would flatly not be willing to support any deal that had even a hint of additional revenue. Toward the end, when Obama famously put a call into Boehner that went unanswered for an entire day, it wasn't because Boehner had "run out of time" and felt that Obama was unlikely to budge, as he now says:
Boehner didn't want to talk with Obama because he feared exactly the opposite — that Obama would respond by offering him the original terms from the previous Sunday, and that Boehner would then find himself trapped. He had to now know that, despite his sense of himself as a persuasive statesman who could get his caucus to follow his lead, he couldn't get any deal past even his own leadership. It was safer for Boehner to walk away and accuse Obama of having sabotaged the deal than to risk that Obama would retreat to the earlier terms on which they had agreed, forcing the speaker to backtrack himself.
So there you have it. There are enough moving parts to give both sides a decent story to tell, but the real story is the one that's been obvious all along: the current Republican caucus in the House flatly won't support any budget deal that includes even a cent in new taxes. Boehner kept hoping maybe he could fudge that, but eventually Eric Cantor put the hammer down and told him in no uncertain terms that he was living in a dreamworld. That's what killed the debt deal.

States should remove religious vaccine exemption
By Paul Katula
Two states currently allow no exemption from childhood vaccinations based on religious beliefs: Mississippi and West Virginia. In California and Vermont, new laws take effect next summer that curtail the rights parents currently have to claim non-medical exemptions from laws requiring specified vaccines for students. We call on all states to enact similar legislation soon.
If Maryland, for example, were to follow California and disallow the religious exemption, it will take a step toward eliminating what, in practice, has become a way to avoid life-saving vaccines based on personal beliefs. Only 20 states specifically allow a philosophical exemption, but the religious exemption isn't all that different.
Philosophical exemption laws, also known as the personal belief exemptions, allow parents to declare their children exempt from vaccinations if they merely object to immunizations because of personal, moral, or other beliefs. Removing this exemption has placed California and Vermont at the forefront of states working hard to protect the safety and lives of its children, and we hope other states follow their lead.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supported the law in California that eliminated the religious exemption, according to the academy's website. "I hope that it causes parents to receive information about vaccines, to have conversations with their pediatrician and other health care professionals and rethink why they had concerns about vaccines," state Sen Richard J Pan, MD, MPH, said, "(and) that they will become more open to listening to the actual science and facts and turn away from the misinformation that's been peddled by too many people."
One of those people, though, is a pediatrician who opposes California's new law. "The best way to improve vaccination is not forcing parents to give vaccines against their will—it's better education about the efficacy of vaccines, something I strive to do every day," said Dr Kathleen Berchelmann, a pediatrician at St. Louis Children's Hospital, in an article in the St Louis Post-Dispatch. "All this California bill does is improve vaccination rates in schools, but what about every other public place? So the unvaccinated kids are out of school, but they're still in the grocery store, and they are still at Disneyland."
Status of Illinois's religious exemption legislation
In Illinois, Senate Bill 1410 was sent to Gov Bruce Rauner on June 19, having passed both chambers in the General Assembly by large majorities earlier this year. The bill, if signed, would require the following:
Each public school district to make exemption data available to the public
Parents claiming religious exemptions to detail the objections for each immunization
Parents to obtain a health care provider's signature
Parents to submit an exemption certificate before kindergarten, sixth, and ninth grade
SB 1410 would also require officials at each school district to determine if the exemption request for each child constitutes a valid religious objection, since Illinois does not allow exemptions based on personal beliefs.
"In recent years, there has been a groundswell of parents who see vaccines as a harbinger of other diseases despite evidence to the contrary," the Daily Herald quoted state Sen John Mulroe, Democrat of Chicago, as saying about SB 1410. "What we don't want is someone's personal beliefs putting other people at risk, which is often the case with vaccination exemptions."

When games reach a certain level of popularity, the community fervor around all and any changes reaches critical mass, which happened a very long time ago for Fortnite (Free). Now days, anytime Epic pushes any data to the game through any sort of update, data miners race to be the first one to discover something interesting, as was the case last night with Twitter user @StormLeaks. They discovered mentions of the Apple TV operating system inside the game, indicating that Fortnite both is likely coming to Apple TV and getting MFi controller support soon.
Arguably, the MFi controller aspect makes this a way more interesting news story as of course Fortnite would come to Apple TV. If Epic could get the game running on Android-powered refrigerators it would release it on them, and the Apple TV is already home to games like Minecraft and others. The innards of the device are just as powerful as recent iPhones, particularly when considering they only need to render at 1080p. The thing is, Fortnite can't come to the Apple TV without MFi support, and it doesn't make a ton of sense for them to only add MFi support for the Apple TV exclusively.
It's hard to say when any of this is going to happen based on a leak inside of the game discovered by a data miner, but I'd put my bets on sooner rather than later. Even though Fortnite is the biggest game in the world, they still need to stay on top of things to keep that momentum. It seems like in the world of video games, the harder and faster a game hits the faster it vanishes into obscurity when the next big thing comes along. Epic is firing on all cylinders to make sure that's not the case with Fornite I'm sure.
Update: We got word from Epic, and as usual, reality is far more boring than data miners would have us believe. According to them, "Epic isn't planning to bring Fortnite to Apple TV. References to tvOS in the Fortnite files are the result of general Unreal Engine support for the Apple TV platform."


From the first attempt at modifying human DNA in the early 1980s… to the first clinical trials based on genetic engineering of the mid 1990s… to the first commercialization of a genetically engineered cell product in 2002… gene therapy has moved from being a pioneering research field to becoming one of the most technologically advanced and promising clinical realities for the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases and tumors.
Founded in 2010, our Gene Therapy Program has been at the forefront of the fight against rare genetic disorders affecting children. The success of our gene therapy clinical trials is due to our program's unique combination of basic research and clinical care – and our ability to translate what we learn at the laboratory bench to the bedside care of the patients we treat.


Here are some of the things I can help you with.
I love documenting people and places. I also look for narration and I love capturing the the fleeting moments. There are also times when you need someone who could help powder your face after hours in the spotlight and run through the event with you, Sometimes you need more than just a photographer.
People don't always mean what they say. Through ethnographic research, I study people within their context and environment. The qualitative data gathered can then be used to connect the dots and unearth information that were not apparent before.
We need to build fast and try fast in order overcome stagnation from trying find the perfect solution. Let me help you build mock-ups and prototypes cheaply and quickly enough so that you could understand your project's limitation and move forward with it.
Sometimes we can be so caught up with a problem that we forget to see the bigger picture. Through experience design, we can come up with a more holistic solution and attack the root cause of the problem rather than trying to just solve the symptoms.

Write Pennsylvania's Governor Wolf and urge him to protect the unborn and children from both VOCs and methane pollution. Send your message in care of both his Deputy Chief of Staff, Sam Robinson (sdrobinson@pa.gov) and the Secretary of Environmental Protection, Patrick McDonnell (pmcdonnell@pa.gov).
Thank you for your leadership and your service as our Governor.
As a pro-life Christian I write to ask you to defend the health of our children and God's creation by improving the Department of Environmental Protection's draft rule, released December 2018, reducing pollution from existing natural gas wells. The rule targets volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.
ensure that all sources covered in the new sources rule finalized last year are included in this rule regulating existing sources.
The reason I write is because pro-life Christians, like myself, have a special concern for the unborn. We want children to be born healthy and unhindered by pollution. Smog, which methane helps create, VOCs, and air toxics have a disproportionate impact upon life in the womb.
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, also adds to climate disruption. We want our loved ones, the unborn, and those yet to be born, to inherit a world free of climate change. The next 10-20 years will determine whether our struggle to overcome climate change will be won or lost, and to win we must drastically reduce our methane pollution.
Your draft rule reducing VOCs from some existing wells is a good effort. But it must be strengthened in the three ways outlined above to more fully defend our children's health and help us overcome climate change.
The medical community has long known of the environmental impacts on our unborn children. Studies have shown that smog, VOCs, and air toxics have a disproportionate impact upon life in the womb. A recent study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found evidence of low birthweight babies associated with proximity to unconventional natural gas wells in Butler County, PA, and another study in 2015 linked birth defects to methane production. Given that PA is the nation's second-largest gas producing state, and pollution from the natural gas industry is on the rise, strong regulations are essential.
These leaks in our natural gas infrastructure also spew out smog precursors, adding to our failing air quality. Pennsylvania has over 300,000 children with asthma according to the American Lung Association, and much of Pennsylvania's air exceeds limits for both ozone (smog) and particulates (soot) emissions, making the need to stop natural gas leaks urgent. There is simply no way for Pennsylvania's air quality to improve with the vast amounts of methane spewed by thousands of natural gas installations across the commonwealth, both old and new, conventional and fracking. Half of methane emissions come from conventional wells. The draft rule's exemption of around 80% of such wells because they are low-producing will leave a big source of emissions unaddressed.
Methane is also a highly potent greenhouse gas. We want our loved ones, the unborn, and those yet to be born, to inherit a world free of climate change. Yet today from our natural gas infrastructure large amounts of methane are being released, a climate pollutant 86 times stronger than carbon dioxide at trapping heat over a 20 year timeframe – and it is the next 10-20 years that will determine whether our struggle to overcome climate change will be won or lost. Indeed, a recent major scientific report concluded we have a little more than a decade to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 45% to avoid highly disruptive impacts. That is why reducing methane is morally strategic.

Trail bridge work to start soon in downtown Titusville
R. Norman Moody
FLORIDA TODAY
TITUSVILLE – Tiny flags marked the location of a bicycle/ pedestrian bridge that will go over Garden Street, which will likely to be the most prominent part of the Coast to Coast Connector trail through North Brevard.
The city is not quite ready to start building its $3.5 million portion of the trail, which includes the bridge through downtown Titusville, but preliminary work in design and on site has been done in preparation.
Work on the trail bridge on site is expected to begin in the next few months.
"It will be October before work will begin," Titusville Public Works Director Kevin Cook said. "It will take about eight months to complete."
But already, community leaders are talking about wanting the bridge and the rest of the trail prominently marked with attractive signs.
Brevard County Commissioner Robin Fisher said he wants to make sure that there is enough signage on the bridge and trail. He said people will take photos of themselves with the signs and post on social media, which in turn will encourage others to also visit Titusville.
"It's important for the whole trail," he said. "I've always thought of it as an economic driver for Titusville."
The Florida Legislature approved in the sate budget $25 million for trails, which could help to get the Coast to Coast Connector trail completed within five years.
The Coast to Coast Connector is a trail that will go from St. Petersburg through Titusville and end at Canaveral National Seashore. It is really a series of trails more than 250 miles long, with gaps totaling about 60 miles. Plans call for completing the section through Brevard within two years and the rest of the gaps in five years.
The bridge and the downtown section of the trail will connect with a 1.4-mile portion at Draa Road, where there is talk of building a park.
There is a wilderness section along the 12.8 mile section from Aurantia Road to downtown Titusville that will meet the Volusia County section called the East Central Florida Rails trail.
A welcome center that will connect to the trail will be built in downtown. It will be built at the city's Julia Street parking lot downtown. That project is out for bids and construction could begin in the next three months. It should be completed about the same time as the bridge.
"We'll add a connection coming off the bridge to the downtown welcome center," Cook said.

Nokia Smart TV made by Flipkart joins OnePlus TV as an India-exclusive
Ewdison Then - Dec 5, 2019, 7:44 pm CST
You don't often hear about Android TV these days, except when news of new devices come up. Usually, the big manufacturers simply list it as a yet another bullet point in their feature lists. For companies still new to the smart TV market, however, that could very well be one of the most important aspects of the product. Last September, OnePlus dipped its toes in that market by launching the Android TV-based OnePlus TV in India. Now it is being joined by the Nokia Smart TV which, just like Nokia phones, isn't made by Nokia at all.
While it still exists, Nokia no longer makes consumer electronics and simply licenses its name to manufacturers. For smartphones, that licensee is HMD Global, which has been flooding the market with multiple phones just like in Nokia's old days. Now it has a new licensee for smart TVs, Flipkart, regarded by some as India's local Amazon.
The two names alone might make the Nokia Smart TV already noticeable but Flipkart isn't settling for that. It is trying to push audio quality as the killer feature of the first-ever Nokia Android TV. That's thanks to a combination of JBL audio, DTS TruSurround, and Dolby Audio technologies. As a TV, of course, it also needs to look good and the 55-inch 4K UHD panel boasts of 400 nits of brightness and Dolby Vision support. No word on other HDR formats.
As an Android 9.0 TV device, the Nokia Smart TV thankfully has full Google Play Support. Specs may sound rather meager, with an unnamed quad-core processor, 2.25 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal storage. It does have Google Assistant support via a bundled Bluetooth remote control.
The Nokia Smart TV by Flipkart will sell for 41,999 INR, roughly $590, which includes the aforementioned remote and a wall stand. It undercuts the OnePlus TV in price but it still remains to be seen which of the two will offer a better experience. Unfortunately, given it is manufactured by Flipkart, this Nokia-branded smart TV might have fewer chances of launching in other markets compared to the OnePlus TV.

Respected women's football Instructor, Fran Hilton-Smith of South Africa, flew into Nigeria on Thursday for the first-ever FIFA Women Coaching Seminar taking place at the FIFA Technical Centre, Package B of National Stadium, Abuja.
Hilton-Smith will conduct the five-day seminar, billed for 20th – 24th October, with the assistance of former Super Falcons' Head Coach, Eucharia Uche.
Eucharia Uche, who led the Super Falcons to reclaim the African Women Championship title in South Africa two years ago, and also coached the team at last year's FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany, played at the 1991, 1995 and 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup finals.
NFF officials confirmed on Thursday that the Minister/Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Bolaji Abdullahi will be the special guest of honour at the seminar's formal opening ceremony at the Park View Hotel, Abuja on Tuesday.
It would be recalled that the second FIFA Member Association Elite Course for referees, referee instructors and physical fitness instructors just ended in Abuja – one of the several high-profile coaching and refereeing courses that the Aminu Maigari administration has attracted to Nigeria since coming into office two years ago.
Among the 25 coaches who will take part in the course are Ann Chiejine, who was first-choice goalkeeper for the Super Falcons at three FIFA World Cup finals, the 2000 Olympic Games and several African Women Championship finals, and Rita Nwadike, another former Super Falcons' star who is Assistant Coach of the current Super Falcons' squad.

By Mark Prado | Marin Independent Journal, Bay Area News Group, Mercury News
PUBLISHED: April 3, 2013 at 2:18 am | UPDATED: August 12, 2016 at 8:06 pm
About 30 malnourished California sea lion pups have arrived at the Marine Mammal Center in the Marin Headlands for treatment from Southern California, where treatment centers have been overwhelmed by hundreds of the sick animals.
Since January, strandings of California sea lion pups have been high in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. Sea lion strandings have intensified over the past few weeks and stand at about 900, nearly three times higher than the historical average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service.
The agency has deemed the occurrence "an unusual morbidity event."
Marine mammal treatment hospitals have been
overwhelmed and the sickly marine mammals are now being sent north to Marin.
"It's not known with certainty why these sea lions are stranding so malnourished, but biologists' studies from last spring suggested that this year's supply of anchovies and sardines could be limited," said Jeff Boehm, executive director of the mammal center. "These two species of fish are an extremely important part of California sea lions' diets and females simply may not have been able to nurse their young sufficiently, resulting in abandonment, premature weaning and subsequent strandings."
Veterinary staff and volunteers at the center are providing medical care to the sick sea lions.
Including the transferred patients, the Marine Mammal Center
now has 100 patients on site. The Southern California event coincides with harbor seal and elephant seal pupping season in Marin, which is heaviest from March to May. The center predicts that with the added sea lions from Southern California, the patient count could rise to as many as 200 at any one time, about double the normal load.
"Our priority is to always provide the best medical care for all of our patients and get them healthy and back out in the ocean," said Dr. Shawn Johnson, director of veterinary science at the mammal center.
Johnson noted in 2009 the mammal center saw 1,704 marine mammals, more than double its average.
"We know what it's like to have large patient numbers here, and we'll employ what we learned in 2009," Johnson said.

Wine bloggers in the South Okanagan stopped at Thornhaven Estate Winery in Summerland on Friday afternoon. Wine bloggers from across North America attended the conference.
On Friday, June 7, Summerland was host to a unique group of visitors who came to experience our wineries and ambience.
Jun. 12, 2013 6:00 p.m.
On Friday, June 7, Summerland was host to a unique group of visitors who came to experience our one-of-a-kind wineries and our local ambience.
Organized by the Bottleneck Drive Winery Association, these guests were wine bloggers on a special excursion tour as part of the 2013 Wine Blogger Conference that took place in Penticton over the weekend.
While they were in Summerland on Friday evening, the bloggers visited Heaven's Gate Estate Winery, Thornhaven Estates Winery and Okanagan Crush Pad. They then travelled to the Summerland Waterfront Resort where they tasted wines from other Bottleneck Drive wineries as well as wonderful local food products.
You can see many pictures of the evening on our Summerland Chamber Facebook page.
Coming from all over North America these wine bloggers tweet and blog about the wine they've tasted here and the experiences they've had in the Okanagan.
Altogether the approximately 250 bloggers will have created many thousands of tweets while they were here.
The wine bloggers conference organizers studied these results two years ago and estimated that these tweets resulted in more than 40 million media impressions.
And after the participants have gone home, they will continue to publish blog posts about their experiences here.
That's a lot of eyes on B.C. wines and our growing Okanagan wine and food culture. Previous conferences have also resulted in more tourism and income to the featured regions.
So if that's what blogging can do for the wine industry, what can it do for other Summerland businesses?
According to the Content Mastery Guide – a blog about blogging – there are many business benefits to blogging.
Blogging helps you provide value to your customers by providing them with information they can use.
Here in Summerland that might mean blogs about organic baking, techniques for refinishing furniture, the best dental hygiene, bike trails or automotive services.
The breadth of topics is as varied as our local businesses.
Blogging helps customers and colleagues learn more about you – both as a business and as the people behind the business.
This helps you build authentic relationships with a wider network of readers.
Blogging helps you start discussions with your community and gives your readers an opportunity to provide you with feedback on your product as well as ask you questions.
Blogging can help you build confidence as a business owner by sharing your expertise and it will encourage your readers to spend more time on your site.
Here at the Summerland Chamber we have noticed the difference that enhanced tweeting and more blog posts have made to our own website.
That's why, come fall, we will be offering our business members an educational opportunity that will help them improve their social media marketing as well.
We expect to learn a lot.
We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at manager@summerlandchamber.com or our chamber president, Arlene Fenrich, at president@summerlandchamber.com.
Christine Petkau is the manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.
