On a quest to combat sorcery, black magic, and inhuman acts by godmen
Sanjeev Ramachandran Send an email November 1, 2021
Kerala Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practice, Sorcery and Black Magic Bill seeks to end superstition, inhuman acts.
In an era when science and scientific thinking have grown in leaps and bounds, there exists a certain section of people who still believe in sorcery and black magic. The growth in the number of godmen and god women, and the increasing tilt towards black magic, sorcery and such inhuman evil practice are a matter of concern in the scientific age we live in.
The self-proclaimed god people and their acts of sorcery have been increasingly garnering headline space, and more inhuman practices have come to light, of late.
In this context, the Law Reforms Commission had some time ago invoked the law to bring about a stop to such inhuman practices in Kerala. The commission had proposed legislation mooted as the Kerala Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practice, Sorcery and Black Magic Bill, 2019. The draft bill will now come under the consideration of the state assembly to be made into a law, and if passed, it would pave a progressive path in a society ridden with superstitious beliefs.
Tough stand against superstitions, black magic
The main aim of this proposed law is to take a tough stand against superstitions, evil and inhuman acts, and the self-appointed god people and exorcists who double up as sexual predators.
The bill that has been mooted in this regard has listed a variety of offences that are to be considered extremely serious and need combating measures. Included in the list are black magic, sorcery, violent exorcism, bounty hunting, creation of fear by way of invoking the supernatural, and also animal sacrifice.
As there have also been instances of sexual violence against women reported from various parts of the state, the bill also proposes to bring to task the godmen who adopt inhuman methods such as making women strip naked and also subjecting them to sexual activity, in the guise of blessing them. The bill proposes to bring godmen who resort to such acts under the law and penalise them.
These apart, superstitious practices, such as those prevalent against menstruating women, also are also proposed to be brought under the purview of the bill. Besides, the sale of objects in the promise of ushering in lucky charm to those who use them also stands to be halted.
Crimes to invite penalty up to 7 years in jail
Once the bill turns law, the offenders are expected to be handed a minimum penalty of at least one year in jail and Rs 5000 as a fine. Depending on the gravity of the crime, the prison sentence could go up to at least seven years and a penalty of up to Rs 50,000, a source said.
If the Kerala Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practice, Sorcery and Black Magic Bill, 2019, is passed and made into a law, the state will have welcome legislation in place against black magic, superstitions and inhuman acts by godmen.
It may be noted that the Maharashtra assembly had passed the Anti-Superstition Black Magic Bill in 2013, while the Karnataka assembly too did the same in 2017.

Gay Parades Bash Catholics
Home/Catalyst/Front Page/Gay Parades Bash Catholics
This past June, Gay Pride Parades were held in several cities across the country. Unlike all othe rparades, these marches have a negative message to them. The target of abuse is the Catholic Church.
In San Francisco, a group called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence mocked all Catholic clergy and religious, including the Pope. In Boston, a group of pro-life gays were so taunted and jeered at that Philip Arcidi, president of the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians, said he had "never seen such hate exhibited at a gay or lesbian function." And in New York, gays indulged in obscene behavior in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was in New York that the League mounted its greatest protest.
In the last edition of Catalyst, a letter from William Donohue to New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was published calling on the Mayor to move the starting point of the parade to a spot below St. Patrick's Cathedral. As it turned out, the Mayor did not accede to the League's demand. But the League's pressure did lead to some concessions nonetheless.
Mayor Giuliani refused to march in the Gay Pride Parade as it passed in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral, electing instead to join the march a few blocks south of the Cathedral.
Perhaps most significant, the Mayor announced that the police would crack down on lawlessness, warning gays that a repeat performance of last year's outrageous displays would not be countenanced. The result was that the conduct of the parade's participants was clearly better than the previous year, though still unacceptable by any standard.
The kind of pressure that the Catholic League brought to bear included contacting the White House, the New York State Attorney General's office, the New York Police Commissioner and the police chief in charge of the parade. The League asked that observers be sent from the U.S. Department of Justice and the New York State Attorney General's office, the purpose of which would be to monitor the parade for federal and state law violations. Word of the League's action spread quickly through the New York community: every media opportunity the League had was used to convey its plan.
The Catholic-bashing element to the Gay Pride Parade was so evident that even the parade's organizers never fully disavowed their intent. For example, when Janice Thorn, the co-chairman of the parade's sponsors, Heritage of Pride, was asked to comment on the League's statement that her group had deliberately targeted St. Patrick's, she responded briskly, "That's an interesting idea."
When the parade began, St. Patrick's was sealed like a war zone. No one could get near it as the police barricaded the Cathedral and the sidewalk across the street. Marching in the parade were drag queens, cross-dressers on Rollerblades, the Butch/Femme Society, the sado-macho brigade in black leather and Men of Discipline. Though the North American Man/Boy Love Association did not march as a separate unit, the presence of the child molesters was noted in the program. Men in jock straps simulating oral sex in front of the Cathedral (while Sunday Mass was going on) were perhaps the most vulgar of them all.
The most flagrant anti-Catholicism came from Catholic Ladies for Choice. In this group, there were gays and lesbians dressed as nuns carrying coat hangers and lesbians dressed as nuns carrying tam-bourines. Most incredible was the gay man who wore a black bra and a black jock strap with a nun's veil on his head and a huge set of rosary beads around his otherwise naked body. There was also someone dressed as the Pope with a banner that read, "The Catholic Church, a history of murder, lies, censorship, oppression and hypocrisy." And, of course, there were the usual taunts while marchers processed past the Cathedral.
The Catholic League hired a professional photographer to take pictures of the parade as it passed in front of St. Patrick's. It is now making available to many leaders in government, education, business and the media a sample of the pictures.
Peter Powers, the aide closest to Mayor Giuliani, has agreed to meet with Dr. Donohue regarding the parade. The results of that meeting will be announced in a future edition of Catalyst.

Cultural organisations in receipt of local authority funding are bracing for cuts, but the sector remains optimistic about its financial outlook, according to a new survey.
More than half of arts organisations in receipt of funding from a local authority expect to receive a cut in funds, according to a new annual survey by Arts Quarter. Despite this, most organisations expect earned income to rise during the next financial year and many have high hopes their fundraising efforts will pay off, signalling a shift to a more mixed model of revenue generation in the sector.
The recent Spending Review saw a £6.1bn cut handed down to local government, leading many in the arts, including Arts Council England Chair Sir Peter Bazalgette, to express concerns. 53% of arts organisations in receipt of local authority funding that responded to the survey believe their funding will be cut, with a third anticipating a cut of more than 10%.
The survey into revenue generation in the arts received responses from individuals at 381 cultural organisations across the UK. According to Nicholls it provides "clear evidence of an ever-shifting revenue mix in the arts, away from statutory sources to a more mixed model of revenue generation".
During the next financial year, 62% of organisations expect their earned income to increase, with 34% hoping for an increase of more than 10%. Increases are expected to be gained through a number of avenues, including ticket sales, renting out space and co-ventures with other organisations.
60% of responding organisations believe their fundraising revenues will increase, with 36% expecting an increase of more than 10%. 80% of organisations see trusts and foundations as their main source of fundraising growth over the next three years, leading Nicholls to warn that demand may outstrip supply. Growth is also expected to come from individual giving and the business community.
Nicholls also highlighted that only a quarter of arts organisations see their fundraising 'case for support' as effective at engaging potential donors. Half said theirs was out of date and a fifth has no case at all. Furthermore, 56% aren't sure their organisation's trustees have the skills to support their fundraising goals.
Over the next three years, the vast majority of organisations plan to invest further in fundraising, with 47% planning to spend more on fundraising staff, 43% investing in online capacities and 40% training existing staff.
Arts Quarter plans to run the survey annually to track evolution and innovation across the arts and cultural sectors. It hopes to bring areas of concern to the attention of policy makers and provide an overview of revenue generation in the sector that will help organisations with their planning.
It would be interesting to know who the 381 arts organisations which responded to the survey are. Are they big? Are they small? Rural? Urban? In the South or North? Most importantly, how many of them have a dedicated Development Officer?! Strikes me there's a big opportunity for creative partnerships and sharing knowledge and contacts (and fundraisers?) for like-minded small and medium organisations. But in lean times, who feels like sharing the little we have.. ?
Indeed it would be useful to know broadly the size, scale and geography of survey respondents, as we can see from anecdotal comments there appears to be a range of orgs, from museums to small scale venues and touring. The free data solutions presented by Audience Finder and the fundraising tools we at The Audience Agency have created based on our own research are already enabling some in the sector to put insight into action. Certainly the challenges presented by organisations in the free fundraising surgeries we delivered for those submitting Catalyst Evolve applications echo issues reported in the study. However, whilst additional staff capacity and a fit for purpose CRM are seen as solutions, having a fundraising ethos that is embedded in the cultural organisation at every level offers longer term sustainability, but requires significant cultural change. In our experience, this is when a truly good mission focused case for support can be developed and consistently delivered.

Championship Week is here and, if you are checking out this article, that means you are more than likely playing for your league title this week. With a chance to hoist the trophy this week, you must nail your toughest fantasy football lineup decisions. To do that, you have come to the right place.
If you have Jonathan Taylor, Dalvin Cook or Austin Ekeler, you know what to do. Here, we will look at fantasy football RBs on the fringe of RB2/Flex status to help you make the tough choices to win your matchups. Let's get to it!
QB Fantasy Football Start/Sit
WR Fantasy Football Start/Sit
Credit: Raj Mehta/USA TODAY Sports
Start: Elijah Mitchell vs. Texans
After missing three straight games, Elijah Mitchell is not a sure thing to play this week. But if he does, he gets a mouthwatering matchup to lead you to the promised land. On the season, the Texans are giving up 27 fantasy points per game (fppg) to RBs. Over the last four weeks, that number has increased to 32.5 (second-worst in the league). In the three games prior to his injury Mitchell, had 27, 33 and 25 touches, so he was becoming a legitimate workhorse for the 49ers. If in fact Trey Lance receives the start as well, look for Mitchell to get plenty of work to help the rookie get comfortable.
Start: Rashaad Penny vs. Lions
Following his breakout game against the Texans, Rashaad Penny had a tough matchup against the Rams, where he fell on his tail and was only able to generate 11 carries for 39 yards and two catches for five. Last week, he took full advantage of his matchup against the Bears, putting up 135 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Which side of the Penny are we going to see this week against the Lions? On the season, they are allowing 26.4 fppg to opposing RBs, and Penny will return RB2 value this week. He will be your lucky Penny this championship week.
Sit: D'Onta Foreman vs. Dolphins
D'Onta Foreman put up solid numbers in a couple of nice matchups against the Jaguars and Steelers. Last week against the 49ers, however, he was only able to muster up 17 yards on nine carries. The only saving grace to an otherwise abysmal fantasy game was a touchdown. In this three-man committee with a tough matchup again this week against the Dolphins, who have only allowed 19.7 fppg on the season and 14.1 fppg against opposing RBs over the last four weeks, he has a capped ceiling due to lack of volume and cellar for a floor if he can't get in the end zone. You can do better with your championship on the line.

Sit: Saquon Barkley at Bears
It has been a season to forget for the second overall pick of the 2018 draft, as this generational RB has yet to exceed 64 yards rushing in a game this season. He has only had three RB1 performances and another two RB2 performances to date, and the dynamic duo at QB of Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm has led the Giants to 16 total points over the last three weeks. This game has plenty on the line in terms of draft positioning for next year but no significance for this season, as both of these teams are just playing out the string. Even in a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Bears defense, the Giants offer no playable options this week. If you are playing Barkley, you are hoping he can break a long run to redeem himself for the lost season, but you likely have moved on and have better options if you are playing this week.

Canopy News Boreal Forest
First-ever global map of Ancient and Endangered Forests brings conservation science to boardrooms of the world's largest companies
Vancouver, Canada. November 9, 2018.Today marks the public launch of a new online tool that will enable global companies, including H&M, Kimberly-Clark, Inditex/Zara and DK Books, to identify where Ancient and Endangered Forests are in the world. ForestMapper, developed by international environmental not-for-profit Canopy, is the first-ever interactive map of its kind and is designed to support companies worldwide in making better sustainability decisions when purchasing paper, packaging, lumber and/or viscose fabrics. It promises to be a key tool in the global push by brands, governments and conservationists to halt deforestation, advance protection of key forest landscapes and combat climate change.
More than 100 companies already publicly support ForestMapper, and are committed to using it to assess and reduce their risk of sourcing from the world's Ancient and Endangered Forests.
"The ForestMapper tool, which maps out Ancient and Endangered Forests, has the potential to generate positive impacts on the world's forests, species and climate. This practical tool will help us to make the best sourcing decisions that protect species-rich ecosystems, and ultimately ensure that we reach our sustainability goals", said Félix Poza, Inditex Chief Sustainability Officer.
With thirty percent of the climate solution attributed to keeping carbon-rich forests standing, tools such as ForestMapper are in demand. Additionally corporate consumers are increasingly aware that Ancient and Endangered Forests are critical to sustaining biodiversity, ensuring species survival and maintaining community livelihoods.
Businesses that do find risk in their supply chains will be supported to conduct additional diligence with their suppliers while producers operating in areas that contain Ancient and Endangered Forests are encouraged to work by local partners to establish rigorous conservation planning in the region, such as in the Great Bear Rainforest. Conservation planning will help identify which areas need to be conserved or restored and which areas will support sustainable forestry.
"As one of the world's largest buyers of wood pulp, we know that protecting our forests is critical to addressing climate change, conserving biodiversity and enduring a resilient, healthy supply chain," said Lisa Morden, Kimberly-Clark's vice president of Safety and Sustainability. "The ForestMapper tool gives us visibility into the issues that are impacting forests worldwide and enables us to better identify and assess potential sourcing risks. As a company, we can leverage this tool to make responsible decisions about our supply chain to reduce our impact on forests."
"We applaud Canopy's work in linking forest conservation to supply chains and providing companies with a roadmap to source more responsibly," said Géraldine Vallejo, Director of Sustainability Programs, Kering. "ForestMapper is an important science-based tool to help verify Kering's supply chains to ensure that we do not have any negative impacts on these important natural systems. The business community needs to make every effort to protect and steward old-growth forests so that they remain functioning systems for long-term resilience against climate change."
ForestMapper has already garnered support among the scientific community. Dr. James Hansen and Professor Tim Flannery are among the group of renowned scientists whorecognize the scientific importance of ForestMapper as the first mapping tool to identify Ancient and Endangered Forests globally.

Another opportunity for an online shop - worth looking at?
MawB Tue 05-May-20 16:48:18
Marks & Spencer has launched its first home delivery service, four months ahead of its partnership with Ocado.
Customers can now order from a range of about 130 M&S food and household items through Deliveroo.
M&S has kept its Simply Food stores and food halls open during the coronavirus pandemic, but the delivery service will make its products available to those confined to their homes.
It says deliveries will take 30 minutes and there is a £4.99 charge.
The service is available from 142 M&S outlets across the country.
The launch comes after rival Sainsbury's introduced a one-hour delivery service called Chop Chop, which allows customers to order a top-up shop of up to 20 items. It too charges a £4.99 delivery fee.
BlueSky Tue 05-May-20 16:57:23
Will definitely have a look as we miss M&S for our treats/top up shops. Thanks MawB!
Riverwalk Tue 05-May-20 17:00:15
I was going to give this a go Maw but today when passing M&S there was no queue so in I went!
I'll leave it until next week now as not in need of anything.
I want to pre-book Ocado for next week but that's proving impossible - could have a delivery for tomorrow but that's too soon!
Bumping this up as it may have been missed
Doodle Tue 05-May-20 21:54:27
I didn't know this maw. Interesting. I love M&S food but can't buy their set delivery boxes as they contain stuff DH can't eat. I will take a closer look at this.
Just looked. Shame, no where near us but very useful for a lot of people I would think.


Regarding sorting, automatic actions to a client coming in to EPO.
I am wondering about suggested best practice on system sorting / automatic responses. Our end goal is to have certain systems (based on ip address) when they come in to ePO, that they would get sent to a certain sub group and then policies and install tasks are done on them. Typical stuff I'm sure. I found creating automatic response to check for subnet and hostname, then action them to a certain subgroup would fill the bill. This would keep the system sorting out of the picture, possibly a little simpler?
Any issues with that, any gotchas to worry about?

NHRA Champ Antron Brown, Sandvik/Matco Tools Dragster to Visit LeMay Car Museum on July 30
TACOMA, Wash. (July 25, 2014) – NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown and his Sandvik/Matco Tools Top Fuel dragster will visit LeMay – America's Car Museum (ACM) on Wednesday, July 30, before competing at Pacific Raceways, Aug. 1-3.
Brown, who will campaign a one-off Sandvik Coromont Top Fuel dragster during the NHRA Northwest Nationals at nearby Pacific Raceways in Kent, Wash., will visit the LeMay Museum from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 30. He will tour the 2-year-old museum, which spotlights America's love affair with the automobile, before signing autographs Noon-1 p.m. The Sandvik dragster will be on display 10 a.m.-2 p.m.at the museum's main entrance.
Brown, who won the event at Pacific Raceways in 2009, currently ranks second in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Top Fuel standings with a category-best five wins this season. He has 46 career wins.

Confirmed to take place this coming 4th to 7th of August 2022, in addition to Rebellion Festival at its annual home the Winter Gardens, R-FEST will be located slap bang in front of Blackpool Tower on the promenade, directly down from the Winter Gardens. The organisers are building an arena with the sea on one side and the town on the other, with a capacity for 15,000 punters and space for bars, food, and band merchandise.
Today, R-FEST are proud to announce the line-up of bands now confirmed to perform across the four days. Whilst still staying true to the punk and alternative roots of Rebellion Festival, R-FEST looks to broaden the scope of artists playing to include acts who had their origins in alternative music but went on to achieve huge mainstream success.
With Levellers, The Stranglers, Gary Numan and Squeeze all set to take headline positions, they join a host of other artists scheduled to play and R-FEST can announce the following line-ups.
THURSDAY 4th AUGUST: Levellers, The Wildhearts, Misty in Roots, Dreadzone, Ferocious Dog, Beans on Toast, Millie Manders and the Shut Up
FRIDAY 5th AUGUST: The Stranglers, The Undertones, The Skids, From the Jam, Toyah, Jilted John, The Vapors

SUNDAY 7th AUGUST: Squeeze, SPECIAL GUEST TBA, Tom Robinson Band, Hollie Cook, Buzzcocks, Altered Images, I, Doris
"At last!" exclaims organiser Jennie Russell-Smith. "After the long delays and world craziness we are absolutely delighted to give you the full R-FEST line up for 2022 (apart from one special guest slot that will be worth waiting for). It has not been easy to pull all of these amazing bands together for four days, many bands are still rescheduling shows from 2020, but we are all incredibly excited for our first ever R-FEST line up; four days of bands in the incredible headland arena with the tower and the Wintergardens on one side and the Irish Sea on the other! It's going to be amazing!!
R-FEST will quickly establish itself as the North West's premier music festival and Rebellion Festival look forward to welcoming many fans that could be experiencing one of their events for the first time. We're sure they will be welcomed by the Rebellion Family and soon realise why Blackpool is such a special place for our summer gatherings.
R-FEST is a standalone festival and day tickets are available at £50 per day. However, if you are a REBELLION weekend or REBELLION day ticket holder your ticket will get into R-FEST Free Of Charge!
R-FEST is all ages and there is re-entry available.

3 SIMPLE STEPS TO STOP AGING IN IT'S TRACKS!
We cannot stop the process of getting older... but we can sure as hell slow down the process of growing OLD!
Physical and mental aging are obviously not CURABLE conditions, but the process of aging can absolutely be SLOWED DOWN! Looking younger, feeling younger, and living younger are all great priorities all of us should strive for.
Decades ago, aging was just "accepted", and many people STILL seem to feel that way today. Just giving in to the process of aging, slowing down, getting weaker, fatter, fragile, susceptible... is the norm. "I'm just getting old." "It's normal for my age." "Back when I was younger"... We want to banish those words from your vocabulary. Some people are actually turning back the clock! Many people have slowed the hands of time to a crawl... and just seem to never really "age" as quickly as those around them! We want you to join those people... join US!
Lisa and I look and feel BETTER in our mid-forties than we did a decade ago! We want you to also!
1) EAT TO GET AS LEAN AS POSSIBLE TO STOP AGING.
It's not just body weight... It's body FAT that ages you. The fat physically stretches your skin and HANGS from gravity (muscle doesn't!), and the dead weight of the fat wears out your joints, puts HUGE stress on your heart and other organs, and ages you in MANY ways. Science has shown us that people who are lighter live longer. Reality is... it's people who are LEANER who live longer, and "skinny-fat" is not the answer. That is a scientifically indisputable fact. Just dropping 5-10% of your body's fat-weight can add a decade of life for many people! But it's not just life SPAN... it's the QUALITY of life that changes you. Being leaner gives you more agility, quickness, energy, flexibility, and mobility. "Working around your fat" adds a lot of stress to your life.
Muscle mass does NOT age the body. Muscle supports the joints, burns excess calories, and regulates healthy hormone levels. Carrying around an extra 10-20 pounds of muscle helps you live YOUNGER than your age, fills out your skin as your collagen levels drop, and gives you YOUTHFUL strength and power!
From an internal health perspective, excess body fat ABSOLUTELY leads to diabetes, heart disease, many cancers, reflux, gout, and the list goes ON and ON... All these factors put a huge stress load on your body... physically aging you.
Not to be forgotten, the confidence and esteem from being healthier, leaner, and fitter is a HUGE factor in aging. FEELING good about yourself drives many other healthier choices, better relationships, better career moves, and simply less STRESS... which is the biggest aging force of all.
2) STRENGTH TRAIN TO STOP AGING!
Yes... do your cardio too, as it helps your heart and lings stay strong... but strength training is EXTREMELY critical to fighting aging! A huge number of the symptoms of aging are DIRECTLY related to a decline in physical strength, from joint degeneration, to trip and fall injuries, to the physiological impacts of DEPENDENCE on others for simple tasks!
People who strength train regularly have MUCH healthier hormone profiles, not only muscle building hormones, but also insulin resistance, endorphin production in the brain, and STRESS hormone reductions... Regular exercise is likely one of the greatest anti-depressants and anti-anxiety treatments known to man. SO MANY people today are on psychotropic drugs... dispensed like candy for MANY conditions that could be MUCH better treated by simple daily exercise, including HEAVY weights!
Hit the gym, move some weight around... and REVERSE the clock!
3) MANAGE YOUR AGE-RELATED HORMONES!
We suggest that EVERYONE, even as early as their late 30s and early 40s GET THEIR LEVELS TESTED!!! Insurance cover most of the tests for many people! For now... insurance only covers a few of the prescriptions, but the monthly cost of the medication is paltry in comparison with the effects. Hopefully as more studies roll in, and treatment methods mature, the PREVENTATIVE nature of hormone therapy will come to light. Slowing down aging... slows down the advancement of the diseases that kill us young.
We don't condone or suggest anyone abuse hormones (like a monstrous power-lifter or bodybuilder... male or female), but we DO suggest they look into OPTIMIZING their levels within medically supervised and safe ranges! The healthy hormone levels people had in their 20s and early 30s were NOT UNHEALTHY FOR THEM THEN!!! So why, at age 45, would they be unhealthy now??? The hormones you had at age 20 didn't make you huge... or blow up your heart... and neither will the treatments you receive at 45!!!
Many people who get checked out with their Primary Care Physician, fall well within "normal" ranges, and their primary care doctors push them AWAY from optimization... because their primary is NOT an expert, or even remotely knowledgeable about hormones or their effects on the aging process. It's like asking your cardiologists about your teeth! Primary Care docs are NOT trained to handle your anti-aging protocols. Anti-Aging Physicians ARE. "Normal ranges" include everyone from 20 to 90... and Primary Care Physicians seem to think that the hormone levels of an 80-year old are just fine... even if you are 40. DON'T just follow the advice of your family doctor. Find a specialist. Even if your family doctor is willing to prescribe your hormone therapy... they AREN'T an expert! Like any medications... proper doses can do wonders... and negligent treatment can mess you up!
There are MANY other factors out there that impact the aging process... Probiotics, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, sun-protection, and the list goes ON and ON.... but the three biggest hitters in stopping the clock... NUTRITION-BASED BODY-FAT CONTROL... STRENGTH TRAINING... AND AGE-RELATED HORMONE MANAGEMENT... produce your biggest "Bang for your Buck" when it comes to stopping the clock.
Lisa and I train all types of clients, from competitive athletes, to physique athletes, to post-rehab restrengthening clients... Our clients ages run from 14 to 80-something! But where we specialize... is in Anti-Aging Fitness and Nutrition. Slowing down the hands of time on aging. Give us a call if you want to look, feel, and perform YOUNGER than your drivers license would suggest you should!

"Humidity Sensor Based on a Single-mode Hetero-core Fiber Structure" by Qiang Wu, Yuliya Semenova et al.
Using a small-core single-mode fiber (SCSMF), a novel relative humidity (RH) sensor based on an SMF28-SCSMFSMF28 fiber structure was proposed in this paper. By depositing a humidity sensitive material, such as poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) on the bare SCSMF fiber, the proposed structure can act as an RH sensor with high sensitivity. Experiments demonstrated that the proposed RH sensor with PEO coating can achieve a sensitivity of 430nm per relative humidity unit (RHU) in the RH range from 80% to 83% RH and a sensitivity of 50nm per RHU in the RH range from 83% to 95% RH.

The scary part is the consolidating evidence of global warming, the surprising acceleration of sea-level rise and the accepting of the profound effects these will have on Rhode Island. The hopeful part is the proactive call to arms by our little state, stepping out in front of the crowd to take meaningful action to deal with the changes coming our way.
Those steps come in the package of the Coastal Resource Management Council's Shoreline Special Area Management Plan (Beach SAMP). If you don't know what that is, well, start paying attention.
It's time to look over the time horizon. Sea-level rise is accelerating way beyond previous assumptions. Before anthropogenic warming began accelerating in the mid-1900s, scientists spoke of natural post-glacial sea-level rise in terms of a few inches per century. The latest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) projections cite the range in sea-level rise above 1990 levels to be a maximum of 7 feet by 2100. The youngest of our current schoolchildren will live long enough to see Waterplace Park, Galilee, Misquamicut and much of Wickford and lower Newport under water, and whole waterfront neighborhoods abandoned.
Now several years in progress, the Beach SAMP process has been a national leader in preparing to deal with coming realities. Our state university, world renowned in oceanography and earth science, has been a blessing. It has been gathering data, holding public discussions, and putting together useful proposals to help shore towns and cities think, and more importantly act, to minimize the cost and disruption of the coming changes.
A good example of an early proactive measure is the "armoring" of the sewage treatment facility in Narragansett, near Scarborough State Beach. The proposed earthen berm — an artificial ridge or embankment — and wall will be needed to protect critical infrastructure from damage in the future as the sea rises.
Save The Bay has entered an opinion regarding the Narragansett sewer project, saying that without including a way to walk, fish or collect seashells along the shore in front of the sewerage plant, the engineering for the project isn't complete and it shouldn't go forward. The nonprofit advocacy organization has proposed moving the protection structure 40 feet landward to allow passage in front of it. That would be a good thing.
I would add an alternative proposal if another is needed. Namely, if the barrier truly can't be moved inland, put a walkway along the top of the structure to allow passage across the treatment property to the beach on the other side.
Most certainly creative, outside-the-box solutions will have to be part of the remedy for this never-before experience of dealing with such rapidly accelerating climate change.
Of course, the sewer plant project in Narragansett is just one pixel in a much larger picture. As another example, I have included a pair of pictures from the Beach SAMP data available on the CRMC website titled "Shoreline Change Maps." One shows a satellite view of a house and a hotel on Misquamicut Beach along Atlantic Avenue in Westerly with the movement of the land/water boundary, identified by colored lines, during the past 77 years. You can see that both locations have constructed boulder walls across their property.
There are several important things to learn from these photos.
One lesson comes from the boxes at the end of the survey lines going out into the water. The black box shows the total movement landward of the land/water boundary since 1939. At line No. 169 it has moved 109 feet, which means that 109 feet of real estate has disappeared. The learning comes with realizing that although the sea has risen only a number of inches over this time, the land/water boundary location moves many feet landward because the land, in most places, is a gentle slope rising away from the water.
The white boxes show the same survey data in another way. They show the average number of feet per year the shore has moved inland. At the location of line No. 169 it has been retreating at an average rate of 1.5 feet annually.
The colored lines highlight the second lesson we can gleam from this CRMC image. The red line is 1939, the black is 1951, the purple is 1963, the green is 2012 and the blue is 2014. Notice that through 1951 the shoreline was far enough in front of the house and hotel that there was room for anyone to pass along the beach without any problem.
By 2012, the sea had risen up to the point that there was no longer anywhere to walk to pass along the beach. By 2014, a person would have to hazard rock climbing the wall to get by along the shore.
Bear in mind that people don't come to Misquamicut for the restaurants and hotels and happen to use the beach. The restaurants and hotels only exist there because of the fabulous, unobstructed, world-class strand of sand on which they can recreate. Every year, the town of Westerly takes in millions of dollars because of the miles-long beach that people can enjoy and "pass along." Protecting lateral access along the shore is as much a local economic business issue as it is an emotional civil rights one.
The second picture is of a house on Greenhill Beach in Wakefield. The owners of the large home built a seawall to try to prevent their property from disappearing. That was legal at the time and was their right — though they may be hastening the erosion of the adjacent properties. But people have walked along this beach as far back as memory of it goes. The blue line is from 2014 surveying. Even then people would have had to climb over the foot of the rock wall to pass by.
At present, at high tide or after a big storm, the only safe place to walk is along the top of the rock pile wall across the house's yard. It will be a challenge going forward for shorefront properties to find ways to accommodate citizens passing along the shore as the sea advances up and over the land.
The important takeaway is that the shoreline location may be changing, but our constitutional privileges of the shore are not. There are many more locations in Rhode Island with the same dynamic unfolding.

Darfur special
Sir David travels to Khartoum to talk to Sudan's president about the Darfur crisis.
21 Sep 2008 08:32 GMT | Politics, Sudan
According to some estimates, more than 300,000 people have died as a result of the conflict in Darfur
The conflict in Sudan's Darfur region began in 2003 after rebel groups started attacking government targets.
The rebels complain that the government oppresses black Africans in favour of Arabs. They also accuse Khartoum of neglecting the impoverished region.
According to some estimates, over 300,000 people have died as a result of the conflict. The UN says a further 2.5 million people have been driven from their homes. The US government and some human rights groups say that genocide has taken place.
The Sudanese government admits forming "self-defence militias", but deny any links to the Janjiwid, the group accused of perpetrating some of the worst violence. They also claim that the extent of the violence has been exaggerated.
In this special edition of Frost over the World Sir David travels to Khartoum to talk to Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president. Sir David also talks to the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a leading rebel, the head of the UN African Mission and to the World Food Programme's (WFP) director in Sudan.
President Omar al-Bashir
Sir David talks to Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president, in Khartoum
President Omar al-Bashir came to power in 1989 following an Islamist-backed coup.
He has been heavily criticised by the international community for his handling of the conflict in Darfur.
But al-Bashir claims there is an "unfair and intentional" campaign to "exaggerate and distort facts".
The president says 90 per cent of the people in the region are leading a normal life. He describes the ICC as a terrorist organisation and says the US lacks the moral authority to speak about events in Darfur.
Watch this interview
Luis-Moreno Ocampo
The ICC's chief prosecutor Luis-Moreno Ocampo joins the show from The Hague
Last month the ICC described all of Darfur as a crime scene, compared some of the activities in Sudan to the Nazi regime in Germany and indicted two named Sudanese, one a government minister, for war crimes.
The ICC's chief prosecutor Luis-Moreno Ocampo says individuals in Darfur are using the state apparatus to commit war crimes. But he is optimistic that the ICC will eventually capture and prosecute those accused.
Dr. Tahir El-Faki
Tahir El-Faki accuses Sudan's government of being undemocratic
For years Khartoum has been thought of as one of the safest cities in Africa.
This all changed last month when the rebel group, the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem), attacked Khartoum's twin city, Omdurman. The attack further dented the already slim hopes of peace.
Dr. Tahir El-Faki says the Darfur conflict is a political problem that cannot be solved militarily. He says the Sudanese government is undemocratic and has not respected the will of the people.
Rodolphe Adada
Rodolphe Adada is the envoy for the UN's
African Union mission in Darfur
Last year the biggest and most expensive UN operation was born.
UNAMID is the UN African Union mission in Darfur. It was mandated to get 26,000 soldiers and police into Darfur. Six months on barely a third of that number has arrived.
Rodolphe Adada, the UN-AU force's envoy, says the operation does not yet have enough troops on the ground to make a difference. By the end of the year he expects to have 80 per cent of the force in Sudan.
Kenro Oshidari
Kenro Oshidari is the World Food Programme's
director in Sudan
Millions of Darfuris fleeing the fighting are now dependent on food aid from the WFP in order to survive. As the conflict continues the food shortages are likely to grow worse.
Kenro Oshidari, the WFP's director in Sudan, says that it is one of the worst crises he has ever experienced. He says the security situation makes it very difficult to distribute food aid.

CRISTIAN: "I WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE END OF THE SEASON"
Laure has been one of the most pleasant surprises at Deportivo B, the Madrilenian right-back was a regular participant in Tito Ramallo's squad and is now one of the four Fabril's members that already debuted with the first squad. His contract rules out in June and he's currently sidelined for injury reasons, but Laure already appointed that he wants to continue at the club.
DUSCHER: "I WON'T CELEBRATE A GOAL AGAINST DEPOR"
Aldo Duscher talked with newspaper <i>La Opini??n A Coru?±a</i>, the Argentinean midfielder is making a good season at Racing and has even exploded as a goalscorer (four goals in liga and one in copa). Duscher analysed the moment lived by both teams and predicts that Depor will be a tough rival for the Catabrians.
Lendoiro is finding some problems in order to secure the continuity of the key players at Fabril. Depor's president already secured the future of Piscu and is now negotiating for Lassad and Laure, but in the other hand, he could lose Chapi who has been linked with Racing Genk . Meanwhile, it seems that Fabricio has been followed by other clubs.
Coach Lotina continues to face problems in order to build a line-up for Sunday's game against Racing Santander. On Thursday, the Basque coach missed three players due to physical problems. The main one is Christian Wilhelmsson. With Guardado already out, Lotina only have two additional wingers in the first squad: Lafita and Cristian, this last player is coming back after a long-term injury.
Lopo's suspension for the game with Racing could alter the plans of Lotina. The Basque still has to decide if he will keep the system based in five defenders or if instead, he will return to the figure with four men at the back. Although Lotina hasn't decided yet, everybody expects the system won't be modified. Meaning Lotina will have to choose between Chapi and Piscu for the job.
After last Sunday's game, Xisco became the 31st Depor's player that scores a hat-trick in Primera Divisi??n. The previous occasion in which someone scored three goals in one single at Deportivo was during the historic 5-0 win at Bala?dos against Celta:V?ctor. That was four years ago.
The fears of doctor Ram??n Barral were confirmed as the scans revealed that Andr?©s Guardado suffered a new stress fracture in his right leg. The Mexican suffered the injury after he only spent eight minutes on the pitch during Sunday's game against Murcia. Meanwhile, youngsters Laure and Chapi suffered injuries during Monday's training.

India: Parliament disrupted over allegation of DMK's interference in judiciary
Jul 21, 2014 | Opinion, Uncategorized | 0 |
AIADMK members disrupted the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament, demanding a probe on the allegations that its rival Party in Tamil Nadu had exerted undue influence on the central government to let a corrupt judge retain his position. Rajya Sabha was adjourned twice during its Question Hour because of this uproar.
In the centre of the uproar lies the blog of a former Chief Justice of the Madras High Court. In the blog Justice Markandey Katju alleges that in 2005 the DMK, the then ruling party and an ally of the Congress and its United Progressive Alliance (UPA), had exerted undue influence to allow a tainted judge to keep his job even after he was mentioned in several cases of corruption. He was even e elevated as an Additional Judge of the Madras High Court by the former DMK government. If these allegations are true then we can see how much influence a corrupt government can wield to corrupt the judiciary to have its own way in the due process of the law.
But again, here we have something more than meets the eye. The first question that comes to the mind is why is Justice Katju raising this issue now, almost after 9 years of the event. Why did he not raise this when he was the Chief Justice? His voice would have had higher weight then. In the light of these arguments, some people think that it is possible that this was ploy put up by Chairman of the Press Council to get the attention of the new central government.
Justice Katju's motive becomes clearer when he goes on to say in his blog post that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who was also CM during Katju's tenure as chief justice of Madras High Court never, interfered with the judiciary. We know that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was accused of hoarding billion of rupees worth of cash and gold.
Dr. Maitreyan, a member of the AIADMK, asked whether former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was seated in the House, was aware of the allegations against the judge and whether his ally DMK had put pressure on his government in the manner as stated by Justice Katju. We do not yet know Prime Minister Modi's view on these issues. We know that both the ruling and the opposition parties are corrupt. There is no point in a new government going on witch hunting spree on its predecessor. This is because, nothing will happen in the end and bribery and corruption will prevail.

Institutionalized Children: Not Home, a Documentary by Narcel Reedus
Leroy - Posted on 05 September 2012
Leroy Moore
Leroy Moore: As a Black disabled activist and researcher of disabled and Black cultural, art, film, music in history to the present, I haven't had many experiences finding Black non-disabled who have done film on topics focusing on people with disabilities. So I was excited to hear about your documentary, Not Home. What is your involvement in disability community?
Narcel Reedus: I first got involved with the disability community in 1996 when I was commissioned to direct and produce the short documentary Waddie Welcome. Waddie Welcome was a Black man born on the 4th of July in 1917 in Savannah, GA with Cerebral Palsy. He predated the diagnosis and ended up outliving everyone in his family: mother, father, sisters, brothers, aunts, and uncles… This documentary is about a community coming together to help Waddie Welcome move out of nursing home and back to the community where he was raised. I also worked as a mental health advocated for two years at the Georgia Advocacy Office in Atlanta. Right in the midst of working at GAO the Olmstead Supreme Court decision came down and I traveled with Lois Curtis, Elaine Wilson and Sue Jamieson to DC. So that is my foundation in the disability community.
Leroy Moore: As a Black man do you see the difference on how Black families with disabled children are treated compare to their White counterparts? If you have explain.
Narcel Reedus: Well, I worked on Not Home: A documentary about kids living in nursing facilities for about three years. We travelled to seven states and interviewed about 80 people for the documentary. So I can honestly say that I've seen poor Black folks struggling and poor White folks struggling for help. I've also seen the middle class struggle and in some respects even folks with access to more wealth struggle with the system. I've seen first hand a Black woman in rural Georgia trying to navigate the system for support for her son. Her story is featured in the documentary. So in terms of the obstacles and hardship trying to raise a child with a disability we chose to show the struggle of a Black woman in rural Georgia. In a strange way I think that the disability community has an opportunity to bring folks together across racial and social economic lines.
Leroy Moore: What is the reaction toward your documentary from the Black community and Black media?
Narcel Reedus: The community response to Not Home has been great. We had good turnouts in Chicago, Virginia Beach and Norfolk. And really great panel discussions with the community. I've had a lot parents and activists come up to me after seeing the film and thank me for showing an aspect of the issue of institutionalizing kids with a developmental disability in a way that has not been shown before. In terms of the media, we are at the very beginning of this phase of distributing the film. So we have very little press to speak of. But our strategic plan is to make the issue of institutionalizing kids with a developmental disability a national issue that should be address on a national level. We certainly need more press coverage on the film but more importantly on the issue.
Leroy Moore: As a film maker what do you think the film/media industry need to learn about working with people with disabilities or having a disability theme in their movies/journalist pieces?
Narcel Reedus: I think their needs to be a massive people first language initiative in journalism. I cringe every time I hear a journalist put a person's disability ahead of the person. I also think that as media makers we are slowly moving to a place where a person with a disability can be in a film or TV show as a person, a character and not really explain or make an issue of their disability. We are only one or two breakout films away from turning the corner on mainstreaming representation.
Leroy Moore: Many people, parents, media experts and others only see disability as social services and laws and don't see the rich history and cultural side of it. In your work have you looked through the angle of disability cultural, art and history?
Narcel Reedus: Honestly, this is where I need more work. I think we've all been indoctrinated to see a person's disability first and then adjusting our perspective to that of pity and compassion. The future of the disability community educates the world on the contributions of the past and present in terms of art and politics. I think you are certainly a part of that future, Leroy, and that's why we need, more than ever, to see and hear your work and your perspective as a representative of your community.
Leroy Moore: In the trailer of Not Home, I noticed that there are a lot of mothers speaking their stories. Have you interview fathers especially Black fathers?
Narcel Reedus: We did spend some time with a father who is a single parent raising two children, one having a developmental disability. He talks about divorce and that is a bit uncommon: the father staying and the mother leaving. That's why we have him in the film. We did interview one or two Black fathers but unfortunately they did not make it into the final cut of the film. I think there is more than enough room out here for a documentary about Black fathers and the disability community.
Leroy Moore: How many disabled activists have you interviewed for your documentary and how many are Black or people of color?
Narcel Reedus: We interviewed about 80 people for the Not Home documentary. We amassed about 250 hours worth of footage over three years. The challenge of course was wading through all of that footage to find the right sound bite and the right b-roll to effectively tell a story (not the story) but a story. Our goal was to tell one single story but I saw four amazing stories in our footage. Two of these stories involve Black families and two are from the perspective of White families. My goal was not to meet a benchmark of White vs. Black disability activist but to try to tell a compelling, poetic and truthful story. I feel confident that we did just that.
Leroy Moore: My parents in the early 70's with many other Black parents fought so hard to get services from disability organizations and now being involved with National Black Disability Coalition, NBDC we see the same story. NBDC and I are so excited to now about your film but we also see that there needs to be more disability education from Black cultural viewpoint. What do you think about that? NBDC & I hope we can stay in contact to work together to make this a reality.
Narcel Reedus: I would love the support of the National Black Disability Coalition. I think just as the Not Home documentary will bring awareness to the issue of the institutionalization of kids with a developmental disability I think there needs to be more market specific media around the issue of Black folks in the disability community. Not everything has to be a documentary, mind you; I'm talking books, plays, TV shows, poetry, dance, novels, films, and music... I think the notion of reaching a target market has changed and is changing. In some respects it is a bit easier to surgically select a portion of the long tail and create a product specifically designed for that market segment. This is the future of communication and marketing. I'm trying to understand it and use it.
Leroy Moore: How did you do your outreach for the film? Black disabled people have a high rate of unemployment and living in poverty. I also write for Poor Magazine and started one of the fist columns on race, poverty and disability. I also know that there are a lot of homeless families with disabled sons and daughters. What can families who are living in poverty take away from this documentary?
Narcel Reedus: Our outreach campaign is designed to reach out to disability rights organizations such as ADAPT, CILs, DD Councils, P&As, the Arcs… and from there connect to parents, activists and elected officials. I think the message of this film is that there is hope and that it takes faith. No doubt kids living in nursing facilities is not a happy subject. That being said, we are not expecting your average Joe to go run out and see Not Home or but the DVD. Most people are unaware of the subject matter. But we designed this film to educate and inspire. We tried to make our third act very emotional and impactful. (Spoiler Alert).
At the end of the Not Home we introduce Qualeigh's: a little boy with a developmental disability who lived the first six years of his life in a long-term pediatric care facility in Norfolk, VA. He had never been outside, never felt a breeze on his face, never rode in a car, or played on a playground. Then one day Michelle Martin was hired as the teacher for his second floor ward. She said she fell in love with him immediately - the "nasty little boy" with mucous all over his face. She spent extra time with Qualeigh, washed his clothes, bought him toys and visited him on her off days along with her husband and two children. The administration reprimanded her. They told her to stop paying extra care and attention to Qualeigh. Michelle Martins quit her job. She told them "In a year's time Qualeigh will be living with me and nobody can tell me what I can and can not do with Qualeigh." She wanted to move Qualeigh out of the facility but didn't know how to do it. So she put her dilemma on the prayer list at her church.
Attorney Sheila Drucker was in the process of removing the parental rights of Qualeigh's siblings from his biological mother. Almost by accident she discovered Qualeigh living in a long-term pediatric care facility. What happened next was a series of anonymous phone calls and cryptic emails that eventually connected the woman who genuinely loved Qualeigh and wanted to get him out of the facility with an attorney who would become his Guardian ad Litem and could recommend to the court where he should live.
Today, Qualeigh lives with Michelle Martins and her family. He attends church, goes to school, swims in the pool and enjoys a life once deemed impossible for a child with a severe developmental disability. This is an incredible story with a happy ending. It was important for us to end Not Home with hope, faith and inspiration.
Leroy Moore: I do what is known as Krip-Hop Nation, an international network of disabled musicians for social justice and regaining our history in music. Is there a soundtrack for Not Home?
Narcel Reedus: We have some really nice music from Atlanta writer, composer and musician Ryan Almario. We talked about a sound track but with so many other aspects of the film to deal with we did not move forward with that idea. I still think it's possible to make the music from the film available on our website.
Leroy Moore: It seems to me that you films have a social justice slant to them. How do you pick out subjects for your film projects?
Narcel Reedus: I made a decision a long time ago to go down this path of filmmaking; not so much to make disability rights films or only films with a social justice slant to them, but to make films that represent my community. I figured there were plenty of people making gangsta and sexually exploitative films. I certainly could have made more money in Hollywood as that kind of filmmaker but making films that speak to a more realistic and diverse aspect of the Black community and not just the worst or the most violent aspect of the Black community feels more honest; it doesn't pay as well but it is certainly more honest.
Leroy Moore: I just saw your, Race Juice, film very powerful. Please explain this film for us.
Narcel Reedus: Race Juice: An Elixir for the Soul is a short film about a little White girl who accuses her parents of being racist. She lists all her observations that support this accusation. Her parents listen, nod and then force her to drink Race Juice, a concoction that helps her deal with White privilege comfortably; at least with out the annoying side effects of guilt. I actually wrote a feature script for Race Juice and it's on my todo list of films to make.
Leroy Moore: When is Not Home going to be in the San Francisco Bay Area and other places?
Narcel Reedus: The Not Home DVD and companion book is currently available for sale on our website: NotHomeDocumentary.com. We sold an exhibition copy of Not Home to the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley. We are working out some audio descriptor details but we hope to arrange a screening of Not Home in the SF Bay Area before the end of the year. We are very excited about the screening Not Home in the Bay Area. You all have a very strong disability rights community. We see the Not Home documentary as a way to galvanize a community around an issue.
Leroy Moore: What are your next projects?
Narcel Reedus: I am currently developing a feature script about a Black father and his relationship with his children. I need to find the room in my creative space to develop the next project while still moving my current project along its path.
Leroy Moore: How can people reach you and read more about Not Home?
Narcel Reedus: You can find out more about Not Home: A documentary about kids living in nursing facilities by visiting our website:

Leroy Moore: Any last words?
Narcel Reedus: I truly thank you for reaching out to me and giving me this opportunity to talk about my film Not Home. Thank you so much and I look forward to staying connected to you in the future.

Getting out of Nursing Home
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/05/2012 - 10:11am.
I have forwarded info on this article to Stacey Milbern who is involved with the Olmstead Project at Center for Independent Living, Berkeley, CA. Jim Gonsalves and I are also involved in the Olmstead project which is involved with helping people with disabilities get out of nursing homes and institutions.


You need to post your Game Rules/Explanation, and hopefully a Game Title.
It is best if you can also post the Game Mechanics, i.e. how the game will be hosted.
Feel free to post however.
Do we have to post ideas for simple forum games?
Yes. Only Paul is allowed to open new games in Simple Forum Games. He's kind of the moderator there. Post your ideas, and Paul will surely catch a look at it ^^ .
Yup... do you agree Paul?
I'll make the game word twister instead - in which you must form another word by only changing one letter. If a word takes too long (some words are difficult ) I will restart the game.
It's like a war game. Each player have its own country/civilization. And each turn the players must send a unit that they can buy more types of units on Alay's shop, maybe some units have a cooldown or something like it. Sending units is like performing an attack in Teha'es battles. Each unit has its weaknesses. And maybe there are multiple-player battles, so there are allies too.
Its a really good idea. I think Nikhil or Sinned can host it.
You should host it, Sinned17.
Co-incidentally, I was thinking about a Text-Risk.
The war game is very nice .
You can host it. Do you need one topic (like LFM) or multiple topics (like EMF)?
I would like some complicated games too on Shield Games so I hope this will be one strategical game ^^ . It's best if you can try to balance each type of army with each of their own specialty, strength and weaknesses.
I think Leo meant that if we buy an infantry base then we can send 3 Infantry units per day, for example?
no more words or less than 5 would be good?
huh? I didn't understand this game... Explain briefly.
Edit- I got an idea, for Simple Forum Games, Guess The Pic from the game.
A picture will be posted (anyone can post) and others will have to guess from which game it is taken from. Once guessed correctly, anyone can post another pic.

The Value of Hiring Through Referrals

The Facts About Referrals: Toward an Understanding of Employee Referral Networks
Number of pages: 62 Posted: 19 Apr 2013 Last Revised: 31 Dec 2017
Employee referrals are a very common means by which firms hire new workers. Past work suggests that workers hired via referrals often perform better than non-referred workers, but we have little understanding as to why. In this paper, we demonstrate that this is primarily because referrals allow firms to select workers better-suited for particular jobs. To test our model, we use novel and detailed productivity and survey data from nine large firms in three industries: call-centers, trucking, and high-tech (software). Referred workers are 10-30% less likely to quit and have substantially higher performance on rare "high-impact metrics" (e.g. creating patents and avoiding truck accidents), despite having similar characteristics and similar performance on non-rare metrics.To identify the source of these behavioral differences, we develop four new statistical tests, all of which indicate that firms benefit from referrals predominantly by selecting workers with a better fit for the job, as opposed to referrals selecting workers with higher overall quality; to referrals enabling monitoring or coaching; or to it being more enjoyable to work with friends. We document that workers refer others like themselves, not only in characteristics but in behavior (e.g. unsafe workers refer other unsafe workers), suggesting that firms may gain by incentivizing referrals most from their highest quality workers. Referred workers achieve substantially higher profits per worker and the difference is driven by referrals from high productivity workers.
