For many of the millions of people suffering from drug and alcohol addiction, it can be hard to find a job after rehabilitation. You likely have different life priorities now, might need a flexible schedule for ongoing recovery programs, and want to utilize your skills and abilities to their fullest.
So what are some of the best careers for recovering addicts? Let's look at some of the most important things to consider when deciding where to go back to work after your treatment.
Do You Want to Return to Your Previous Job?
In most states, those seeking recovery treatment for addiction are protected and can go back to their old job when they return. This might be the easiest next step, especially if you enjoyed your past role. But, be wary of potential triggers that might tempt you to use again. If, at your old job, you had friends that encouraged dangerous behavior or it was a stressful environment that made you want to turn to drugs or alcohol, this might not be the best step. In cases like these, finding a new job might be a better route to help you live clean and sober.
In the argument for returning to your previous job, many addiction therapists suggest not making any major changes for a year after you conclude treatment. While many of the changes you experience when getting sober are good changes, these good changes can still be stressful. By limiting the number of major changes in your life so quickly after recovery, you can reduce your stressors and focus on living clean. If you want to go back to your old job, talk to your former boss to see if your role is still open, whether or not you'll have the flexibility to attend recovery treatments during the week, and if there are any foreseeable stressors that may set you off.
Are There Jobs in the Recovery Field?
Research shows that helping others helps recovering addicts maintain their sobriety, so many recovering addicts choose to find a recovery-related job when they're ready to enter the workforce again. These jobs are meaningful, help you give back to the recovery community, and provide workers with a sense of purpose, meaning, and motivation. These are all positive characteristics when living a clean and sober lifestyle.
In addition, recovery-related jobs are great for those who have undergone therapy because you know first-hand what the individuals you are helping are struggling with. You can share your experience through your work in the hopes of helping others. Jobs in the recovery industry may include addiction counseling, recovery coaching, social work, and many other roles.
Do You Want to Incorporate Philanthropy in Your Work?
Working in the recovery industry isn't the only way to give back in your job. Many recovering addicts look for philanthropic jobs to make a difference in the lives and community around them. Jobs like being a teacher, physical therapist, librarian, or working with a church, nonprofit, or community organization provide a sense of happiness and fulfillment. You know what they say, find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life!
While the jobs above are great for making a difference, they may have odd hours and you might find yourself working nights, weekends, or having to travel for work. While this might be great for some recovering addicts, a consistent job might be better for some. Office jobs, like being an office manager or receptionist, usually mean that you have consistent hours, stability, a routine, and, if you find the right role, a chance for growth and promotion. One of the most powerful tips to staying sober is working toward a goal, and many office jobs make that goal clear and you can work your way up the corporate ladder with hard work and focus.
Finding the right job after your recovery treatment will help you live a healthy, fulfilled life and stay sober while doing it.

Americans Spend Over $143K In Their Lifetimes To "Treat Yo' Self"
According to some new data, Americans are spending over $143K in their lifetimes to "Treat Yo' Self." Based on the data, three in five would prefer to indulge in an "in real life" luxury experience like a backstage pass to their favorite artist over a luxurious item. Americans will spend as much as $368 on a special, one-time experience.
This study, conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with Eventbrite, collected the information from over 2,000 American adults. The average American spends about 22% of their disposable income on non-essentials for themselves.

Camera IconBen Simmons scored 14 points as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 119-113.
Simmons, 76ers survive NY's Day hiccup
By Peter Mitchell, AAP US CorrespondentAAP
Just like a brutal New Year's Day hangover, the Los Angeles Clippers crept up and caused Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers plenty of pain.
The 76ers did hold on to defeat the Clippers 119-113 on Tuesday in LA but it was not pretty, involved a few angry confrontations and ended with Simmons doing the basketball equivalent of popping a bottle of champagne - an emphatic dunk.
"The day after New Year's," is how Simmons, who spent New Year's Eve with reality TV star girlfriend Kendall Jenner at an LA party hosted by rapper Drake, summed up the scrappy game.
The 76ers should have cruised to victory after leading by as much as 24 points and Simmons appeared set for his sixth triple-double of the season.
The game turned when tempers flared in the final quarter with 213cm tall 76ers centre Joel Embiid and 185cm Clippers guard Patrick Beverley appeared close to blows.
Then the 76ers' Jimmy Butler and Clippers' Avery Bradley were ejected after they battled for a rebound. Simmons came in and had to physically restrain them.
The Clippers then went on a 10-0 run.
"I think guys were a little frustrated," Simmons said.
Simmons also angered Embiid when they both went up for a rebound and the Australian accidentally elbowed his teammate in the face.
Last season Embiid suffered a face fracture when team-mate Markelle Fultz struck him in similar fashion.
"Coach tells me to crash the boards so I went to the boards," Simmons explained.
He had an opportunity to seal the game with 25.6 seconds left and his team clinging to a four point lead but he missed three consecutive free throws.
But Simmins did eventually extinguish the Clippers with the huge dunk in the final seconds.
He fell just short of the triple-double with 14 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
Simmons has been criticised for not shooting from distance, but he said he plans to attempt more as the season continues.
He surprised with a jump shot from just inside the three point line in the first quarter that missed.
"I think we're going to see Ben Simmons incrementally embrace shooting in general and I think you are going to see his shot with more frequency and confidence over time," 76ers coach Brett Brown said.
The 76ers' Australian rookie Jonah Bolden also continued to take advantage of his growing court time with a strong nine points and six rebounds from 15 minutes of action.
Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 45 points as the Toronto Raptors beat the Utah Jazz 122-116.
Brook Lopez had 25 points as Milwaukee cruised past Detroit 121-98 to boost the Bucks to an NBA-best record of 26-10 with their eighth win in nine games.
Nikola Jokic had 19 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists as the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets beat the New York Knicks 115-108.
Portland rallied after blowing a 14-point halftime lead to edge the Sacramento Kings 113-108 in overtime.

'It's beyond disappointing': Frederick Douglass statue vandalized in New York park
Updated: 6:32 AM EDT Jul 6, 2020
leaders from reenergized the legacy of Frederick Douglass are shocked. A monument they worked so hard on will have to be replaced. This is all that is left at this particular moment of a monument that we put so much time and energy and work and thought and love and Karen police say they found the statue placed over a fence near the gorge feet from the statues. Original base pieces of plaster could be seen left in a pile by the fence. The act of vandalism comes on. The 168th anniversary of Douglass's speech, titled What to the Slave, is the Fourth of July. What is what comes from this? What good is this? Is this some kind of retaliation? Because of the national fervor over Confederate monuments right now, very disappointing. It's beyond Statue was one of 13 place throughout the city in 2018 and this is the second monument to be vandalised. Julius Jackson Jr was there for the first incident, which involved drunk college students, and he is hoping this recent act is also one of untargeted mischief. We've been down this road before. I actually spoke to the Vandals of the 1st 1 I would like to believe it's not that that it's just, you know, kids. But again, it wouldn't surprise me if it talent retaliatory something. Bacon topple over this monument. They could go topple over all of them. This monument will still stand because the ideas behind it are bigger than the monument.
A statue of abolitionist Frederick Douglass was ripped from its base in Rochester on the anniversary of one of his most famous speeches, delivered in that city in 1852.Police said the statue of Douglass was taken on Sunday from Maplewood Park, a site along the Underground Railroad where Douglass and Harriet Tubman helped shuttle slaves to freedom.The statue was found at the brink of the Genesee River gorge about 50 feet from its pedestal, police said.

Very disappointing, it's beyond disappointing," Eison told WROC.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. —
A statue of abolitionist Frederick Douglass was ripped from its base in Rochester on the anniversary of one of his most famous speeches, delivered in that city in 1852.
Police said the statue of Douglass was taken on Sunday from Maplewood Park, a site along the Underground Railroad where Douglass and Harriet Tubman helped shuttle slaves to freedom.
The statue was found at the brink of the Genesee River gorge about 50 feet from its pedestal, police said. There was damage to the base and a finger.
In Rochester on July 5, 1852, Douglass gave the speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July," in which he called the celebration of liberty a sham in a nation that enslaves and oppresses its Black citizens.
To a slave, Douglass said, Independence Day is "a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim."
Carvin Eison, a leader of the project that brought the Douglass statue to the park, told the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle another statue will take its place because the damage is too significant.

In soft ground, there are three main types of TBMs: Earth Pressure Balance Machines (EPB), Slurry Shield (SS) and open-face type. Both types of closed machines operate like Single Shield TBMs, using thrust cylinders to advance forward by pushing off against concrete segments. Earth Pressure Balance Machines are used in soft ground with less than 7 bar of pressure. The cutter head does not use disc cutters only, but instead a combination of tungsten carbide cutting bits, carbide disc cutters, drag picks and/or hard rock disc cutters. The EPB gets its name because it uses the excavated material to balance the pressure at the tunnel face. Pressure is maintained in the cutterhead by controlling the rate of extraction of spoil through the Archimedes screw and the advance rate. Additives such as bentonite, polymers and foam can be injected ahead of the face to increase the stability of the ground. Additives can also be injected in the cutterhead/extraction screw to ensure that the spoil remains sufficiently cohesive to form a plug in the Archimedes screw to maintain pressure in the cutterhead and restrict water flowing through.


Andrew Roberts is one of the world's greatest living historians and biographers. He has written or edited 19 books, which have been translated into 22 languages. His latest, Churchill: Walking With Destiny, is a thousand-page biography.
Professor Roberts is the first biographer granted permission by Queen Elizabeth II to unfettered access to the diaries of her father, King George VI, revealing his personal encounters with Churchill during some of Britain's darkest hours. He joins Clifford D. May, Foreign Podicy host and FDD president, to discuss the life of the most consequential statesman of the 20th century and his impact on the world of today.


Magic is the claimed art of altering things either by supernatural means or through knowledge of occult natural laws unknown to science. It is in contrast to science, in that science does not accept anything not subject to either direct or indirect observation, and subject to logical analysis, whereas practitioners of magic claim it is inexplicable force beyond logic.
Magic has been practised in all cultures, and utilizes ways of understanding, experiencing and influencing the world somewhat akin to those offered by religion, though it is sometimes regarded as more focused on achieving results than religious worship. Magic is often viewed with suspicion by the wider community, and is commonly practised in isolation and secrecy.

Panamská šíje (dříve zvaná i Darienská šíje) je úzký pás pevniny spojující Severní (Střední) a Jižní Ameriku. Šíje vznikla během období pliocénu, přibližně před 4 miliony let. Přibližně před 2,7 miliony let došlo k výměně druhů. Spojení mělo větší vliv na diverzitu jihoamerických savců než severoamerických, známá "výměna druhů" byla tedy disproporční. Oddělení oceánů mělo vliv na Golfský proud a tak i na klima.

Oblast šíje leží v Panamě. Panamská šíje, podobně jako jiné pevninské šíje, měla již od počátku španělské kolonizace strategický význam. Přes šíji vedly první komunikace spojující Karibské moře a Panamský záliv, několik století zde byly pouze cesty, ve druhé polovině 19. století byla zbudována železnice a dnes šíji protíná Panamský průplav.

Among quite possibly the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a change. While making use of switches at your house is kind of quick, wiring a person might not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is definitely quite simple to wire. You'll find different kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly widespread swap (along with the easiest).
There are 3 colours of wires in a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and connect them to the terminal screws - just one on prime plus the other around the base screw from the change. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted power and is normally linked to the light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the eco-friendly wire towards the ground screw of your respective change.
These ways would typically be sufficient to produce an average swap function without a dilemma. Nevertheless, in case you usually are not self-confident that you can attain the task properly and safely and securely you far better permit the pros get it done in its place. Soon after all, there is certainly a motive why this activity is among the most typical electrical wiring queries asked by plenty of people.
For many motive, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is also among quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this activity, you should utilize a single swap for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it truly is simply a make any difference of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan to your black wire of your swap. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire should be linked for the black wire of your swap also.
You can find reasons why these are typically one of the most commonly requested electrical wiring concerns. Just one, many assume it truly is straightforward to perform, and two, these are typically the typical electrical tasks at your home. But then you should not place your basic safety in danger with your aim to save cash. The stakes could even be considerably better should you seek to cut costs and do an electrical wiring career with out enough understanding or encounter.


The TSL235R can be powered at anywhere between 2.7 and 5.5V, and will typically pull about 2mA of current. It comes in a simple, 3-pin through-hole package. No external components are necessary to use the converter, and the digital output allows direct interface to a microcontroller or other logic circuitry.
"Power-supply lines must be decoupled by a 0.01-uF to 0.1-uF capacitor with short leads placed close to the TSL235R." So I guess a capacitor is required to use this. That doesn't count as an external component?
Has anyone tried this at the low end of light intensity? Specifically, I'm trying to measure moonlight intensity (typically <1 lux).
What intrigues me is that moon planting and vine cutting supposedly give best results . Now if its so hard to sense these light levels electronically then what chance the plant even notices this . I'm working on the same area as you but I'm a bit behind you I think . If I get anything going I will post back here.
I've used a Silonex NSL-5540 successfully for moonlight applications.
I seem to be having trouble getting a valid frequency output from this device. I have it breadboarded and interfaced with an Uno Rev 3, 5V power, capacitor to decouple, GND, and input to Pin 2. I am using an interrupt routine to derive the frequency (per web examples). However, the values I get are in the 100 to 200 KHz range in ambient room light. When I move my desk lamp within 1 foot, the Arduino output locks up until I move the light away. Frequency readings when I do this exceed 300 KHz. Help! Is this an issue with the interrupt routine?
So.. is the photocell about 1mm squared? Also, the datasheet mentions a lens on this unit. Does anyone know what the focal length of the lens is?
Yes, as per the datasheet: "The integrated photodiode active area is typically 0.92 mm2 in size". Say it's perfectly square, it might be 0.96mm x 0.96mm.
Does anyone know what the focal length of the lens is?
Nope. But you could calculate it. From the datasheet it's given that the lens is a hemisphere and the refractive index of the material is 1.55 . Performance would be an estimation as the rest of the body, while 'frosted', undoubtedly affects this.
Whats the difference between the TSL235R and the TSL12S-LF...?
There's several differences, but the biggest is that the 235 outputs a fixed voltage at a frequency (square wave with 50% duty cycle) corresponding to the light level, while the 12S outputs a variable voltage.
what's the highest intensity this could measure? would it be able to measure full direct sunlight, or would it cap off before then? Could you maybe adjust the range?
You can always adjust the range using a filter, though you would have to find some other method of correlating lighting values to the frequency as a calibration step.
If I just go by the datasheet, page 2, Operating Characteristics at 5V, 25°C, it mentions that when it's completely dark (0µW/cm²) it outputs anywhere between 0.4Hz and 10Hz. So let's say total darkness is the bottom end of the range.
There's also a figure there that says "Full-scale frequency" with a note marker. The note marker explanations state "Full-scale frequency is the maximum operating frequency of the device without saturation". While this isn't an exact answer (saturation characteristics aren't defined) we can safely assume that they mean anything above the given figure - 500kHz - is a no-go area.
On page 3 there's an Output Frequency vs Irradiance graph. The values are presented on a logarithmic scale, so you can see that the graph does not go all the way up to 1000khZ, but stops at ~500kHz (the full-scale frequency value).
Values for sunlight are a bit scattered across the interwebs, but let's go with a NASA figure of 1361W/m². I'd say full sunlight is ~~well-covered~~ not quite covered. So you would have to use a filter and calibrate accordingly.
@Kamiquasi : Thanks for your really clear explanation EXCEPT that 720µW/cm² = 0.72mW/cm² = 7.2W/m² but not 0.72W/cm² nor 7200W/m². And of course it changes everything as the real input light density it can use is only 0.53% of the full sunlight density (of an averaged 1361W/m² indeed).
Whoops - totally right! What a difference a little 'm' makes.
For a blackbody (an object that emits what it absorbs with pretty good efficiency) the the peak wavelength emitted multiplied by the temperature of the object is equal to 0.2898 degrees Kelvin. Essentially this means that, from the frequency you can get wavelength and from the wavelength, you can get temperature.
This sensor basically measures intensity really well and does the dirty work to turn that into a frequency. (Intensity = sigma (a constant) x Temperature to the fourth power, and, using the above relationship, you can figure out the frequency it is emitting). You can therefore backtrack from the frequency you get to figure out the intensity.
Interestingly enough, in a roundabout way, this whole physical shebang is what led to pretty much all of Einstein's theories.
Practically, this means that you can tell the temperature of a blackbody (basically, anything that isn't a cloud of rarified gas or a mazer) by looking at it.
I think you misunderstand what this device does. It is a light /intensity/ sensor. it does not measure the peak frequency of received light.
This device measures light intensity and outputs a square wave whose frequency is directly proportional to light intensity.
This device has two impressive properties that may make it useful for any particular project. One is its huge dynamic range the other is its extremely good sensitivity if you integrate long enough it can rival the sensitivity of an expensive photodiode.
This would be true if the device had infinite bandwidth, but it's a purely optical device which can resolve relative illumination levels over a color range of 320nm (near UV) to 1050nm (near IR).
Any equivalent rated to -40C?
TSL237T. Its a fairly tiny surface mount though. I bought one and my weak soldering skills are not helping. It and the TSL45313 (ambient light, up to full daylight!) could use a breakout, as the TSL45313 probably can't be hand soldered.
I found an Arduino Frequency counter library: http://interface.khm.de/index.php/lab/experiments/arduino-frequency-counter-library/ I decided to forgo using their pre-amp circuit since the TSL235R has one built-in. I connected pin 1 to gnd, pin 2 to 3.3v, and pin 3 on the TSL to digital pin 5 on my arduino. Then I uploaded the example sketch from the site and it worked like a charm. The output seems to be fairly repeatable, the measurement of my room is ~1685, if I place my hand over it it outputs ~170, and then jumps back up to ~1685 pretty quick when I remove my hand.
Im not that good at this maths stuff. But can someone tell me how to get a rough (not too rough) lux reading from this. What maths would I have to perform on the frequency in 1 second (or another duration, you tell me).
I am using a PICAXE microcontroller, so whole numbers only in the maths.
can this be read by an analog pin?
Hey, how fast is this sensor? I mean, how many time beween readings?
By the way, Datasheet link is not working.
Max supply current is 3mA according to the datasheet. I'd believe that, I hooked it directly to 5v before I read the manual and got to smell that wonderful burning component aroma. Good thing I bought two of them.
Could you plz tell me how to wire this up then? I only have one so I don't want to blow it. I am using a PICAXE microcontroller with 5V power source. The datasheet diagram just has it hooked up directly to power supply like you said not to do. Only other component in datasheet is a 0.1uF capacitor, no resistors.
Or were you talking about max current through the data line? And it is fine to connect the GND and VDD pins straight to 5V?
I pulled a bunch of these out of an HP printer. They use them to position the printer head over the paper accurately. They use a strip of plastic about quarter inch high, and as wide as the printer with really thin vertical lines all over it to generate the light frequency. They also had a round disk to position the paper. So that's one application.
could this sense fire at close range like 1ft?
That depends on the fire. If it were ThinkGeek Timmy's Blowtorch KillItWithFire Fire or just a bright flame, probably yes. Also, LEDs output a small amount of power when exposed to bright light.
ok thanks, that page has helped a bunch.
how can one grab the frequency every second or so and store it in a variable for comparison. assuming its hooked up right to the 5v line and digital input on an arduino.
It refers to the "full" IC but if you ignore the frequency scaling and "range" it is pretty much the same.
He uses an interrupt to count the pulses and get the frequency.
Hey, that would probably work! Simply connect to a speaker... I think I'll try it!
Quick Preview of the TSL235R, trying out the optical theremin idea.
Result: ehh, not so much... most of the frequencies you get waving your hand in front of it are quite high and annoying. So while it does work as a theremin, it's wouldn't be practical as a theremin, unless you added a frequency divider or something.
So what's the benefit to this device over a standard old photodetector? Spend more money? More accurate? I like PWM more than voltage differential? Drive something direct with it?
This device allows you to sense the light intensity with MUCH greater precision. It outputs a frequency between about 100Hz and 100kHz which is logarithmically related to the light intensity, as opposed to a 0-3.3V signal. Whereas your typical A/D gives you 8-10 bits of info, and thus 256-1024 datapoints, the accuracy of this chip is limited only by how many edges you want to count before your timer (or edge counter) overflows.
Can this device detect IR Light as well? There's a project I'm working on which I would like to detect the intensity of the IR LEDs bouncing off a wall - depending on the value returned it would dim the IR LEDS. Thanks for the response buddy!
Actually, the output frequency is linearly proportional(ignoring the tiny offset) to iridescence (power-per-area) in the range of 1Hz-1MHz. This means you can read light levels across six orders of magnitude. It's tough to read three orders of magnitude out of a typical photodiode.
I'm trying to use a photoresistor or photocell to detect pulse in the wrist - this light sensor looks like it might work for that, should I order?
I had the same idea - a DIY pulse oximeter. If anyone knows of existing designs, please let me know. I plan to connect this sensor to a "teensy" arduino-compatible board, shine a white LED on one side of a finger and this sensor on the other. If I can get heart rate from that, great! If I can get oxygen levels, even better though I suspect thats much harder to deduced from the input data.

Q: cannot insert data into database I just want what my title says.I have already read all the previous similar posts but i couldn't find a solution .Could you please take a watch into my code?
EDIT:I don't get any exception.I just don't see the new data in the database
EDIT2:The first 4 answers don't solve my problem because i edited the code and added the executenonquery command.
int admin = 23;
SqlConnection thisConnection = new SqlConnection(
    ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[
    "Data Source=...;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=myusername;Password=mypassword"]
    .ConnectionString);
SqlCommand nonqueryCommand = thisConnection.CreateCommand();
thisConnection.Open();
nonqueryCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Account (Username,Password,AdministratorId) VALUES (@username,@password,@admin)";

nonqueryCommand.Parameters.Add("@username", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
nonqueryCommand.Parameters["@username"].Value = UsernameTextbox.Text.ToString();
nonqueryCommand.Parameters.Add("@password", SqlDbType.VarChar, 15);
nonqueryCommand.Parameters["@password"].Value = PasswordTextbox.Text.ToString();
nonqueryCommand.Parameters.Add("@admin", SqlDbType.Int);
nonqueryCommand.Parameters["@admin"].Value = admin;

EDIT:nonquerycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

thisConnection.Close();

A: You don't seem to be actually executing your query.  Execute it before you close your connection.
nonquerycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

A: Two things jump out immediately here.

*

*When you retrieve the connection string from ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings you should be passing the name of the connection string in the config file and not the connection string it self. I suspect you might not even be getting a valid connection string.

*You need to call ExecuteNonQuery() on the nonqueryCommand instance.

A: Instead of
nonqueryCommand.Parameters.Add("@username", SqlDbType.VarChar,20);
nonqueryCommand.Parameters["@username"].Value = UsernameTextbox.Text.ToString();

Use
nonqueryCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", UsernameTextbox.Text.ToString());

And execute your query:
nonquerycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

A: Chris Farmer has the money.
Add...
nonqueryCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

A: you must assign connection to command before executing query
for that add following line before thisConnection.Open();
nonqueryCommand.Connection=thisConnection;

A: You have to execute the query and close your connection after this as shown below
nonquerycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

or if you want to check if query is executed or not do this
if(nonquerycommand.ExecuteNonQuery()>0){ //some message or function }

the returned value are the number of rows affected by the statement.

Terasa Słończa– mikroregion fizycznogeograficzny (314.832) w północnej Polsce, w gminie Dąbrowa Chełmińska, stanowiący południowo-wschodnią część Doliny Fordońskiej.

Położenie
Mikroregion występuje w obrębie przełomowego odcinka Doliny Fordońskiej. Obejmuje zalesione terasy rzeczne doliny Wisły, na wschodnim jej zboczu, między Rafą, a Czarżem, gdzie dolina stopniowo się poszerza. Następnym regionem jest poszerzenie Basenu Unisławskiego.

Charakterystyka
Obszar ten został ukształtowany przez erozyjną działalność wód glacjalnych i rzecznych. Wydziela się tu trzy erozyjne i erozyjno-akumulacyjne poziomy terasowe (II, IV i V). Warstwy powierzchniowe budują piaski różnych frakcji (przeciętnie 2 - 5 m) podścielone gliną morenową, zaś na głębokości kilkunastu metrów występują osady trzeciorzędowe (iły, pyły, piaski). Na terasie IV występuje rynna subglacjalna z jeziorem Skrzynka. Jest ona wypełniona namułami oraz torfem, a ponadto istnieją w jej obrębie pagórki kemowe zbudowane z piasków i mułków.

W części północnej terasa uległa zwydmieniu i w konsekwencji występuje tu kilka wałów wydmowych o wysokości względnej 4 - 6 m, rozdzielonych obniżeniami deflacyjnymi.
Terasa Słończa jest prawie w całości zalesiona. W rynnie jez. Skrzynka występuje olsza czarna, na pozostałym obszarze dominuje sosna zwyczajna. Siedliskowo przeważa bór świeży. W części północno-wschodniej występują uboższe stanowiska boru suchego, natomiast w części po południowo-wschodniej przeważają siedliska grądowe. Na południe od jez. Skrzynka dużą powierzchnię zajmują siedliska boru mieszanego.

Mikroregion w całości leży na obszarze Zespołu Parków Krajobrazowych Chełmińskiego i Nadwiślańskiego.

Prime Minister Stefan Yanev Greeted the Bessarabian Bulgarians
Culture | October 29, 2021, Friday // 16:56| views
Regardless of their historical destiny, to live outside Bulgaria for more than 200 years, the Bessarabian Bulgarians remain an integral part of the Bulgarian cultural and spiritual community. This is stated in a greeting of the caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev on the occasion of the Day of the Bessarabian Bulgarians, published on the Facebook page of the Council of Ministers.
"For generations, Bessarabian Bulgarians have kept their traditions and continue to love Bulgaria. They are an example of defending the Bulgarian self-consciousness and a testament to the strength of Bulgarian roots," the prime minister said.
"Today we express our deep respect for the contribution of the Bessarabian Bulgarians to the development of Bulgaria. We welcome their achievements and together with them share the sincere desire to preserve and make even more active the relations between the people. It is the duty of the Bulgarian state to provide sufficient conditions and opportunities not only for the Bessarabian Bulgarians, but also for all our compatriots outside the borders of our country", says Stefan Yanev in his greeting.

Robert's Rules for Appealing a Ruling by the Chair
How to Set Your Top 50 Life Goals
Goal Setting: Categorize and Prioritize Your Life Goals
How to Build Customer and Client Relationships
How to Make Friends through Personal Connections
Robert's Rules For Dummies
By C. Alan Jennings, PRP, PRP
Even the most highly studied, best prepared, and popular presiding officer with a deep knowledge of Robert's Rules can make mistakes. When one of those mistakes involves a ruling on a matter of parliamentary procedure, any two members can require that the ruling be decided by the membership through the process called Appeal.
Robert's Rules says that disagreeing with the chair is no different from disagreeing with a member in debate, and you're given a way to do it without getting personal. In fact, if you don't appeal from the decision of the chair, Robert says you don't have any right to criticize the ruling! Knowing how to use this incidental motion is important in case the chair doesn't make the correct ruling on your point of order. And the chair needs to know how to use it as well because it's often the best way out of a sticky wicket!
When a presiding officer makes a ruling and a member disagrees, the proper thing to do is to rise and say, "Mr. President, I appeal from the ruling of the chair." If another member seconds the appeal, the procedure is rather simple: The president puts the question to the members, who decide whether to sustain his ruling. But under Robert's Rules, the presiding officer gets to speak first and last in any discussion about the appeal or her decision.
An appeal from the ruling of the chair
Can interrupt a speaker who has the floor.
Needs to be seconded.
Is debatable unless the immediately pending question is not debatable.
Can't be amended.
Requires a majority vote to overturn the decision of the chair.
Can be reconsidered.
Take, for example, a motion to amend. Because the motion to amend, on which the ruling was made (and from which you're appealing), is debatable, you can seek recognition to speak to your appeal. If the members agree with the ruling of the chair, then they vote "Yes" to sustain the decision of the chair. If they want to consider your amendment, then they vote "No" and overrule the chair. If they sustain the chair's ruling, then your amendment is out of order. Otherwise, your amendment is in order, and the chair is expected to entertain discussion on the amendment. The appeal doesn't decide whether the amendment is adopted, only whether it's in order to come before the membership.

Q: AudioQueue Recording Audio Sample I am currently in the process of building an application that reads in audio from my iPhone's microphone, and then does some processing and visuals. Of course I am starting with the audio stuff first, but am having one minor problem.
I am defining my sampling rate to be 44100 Hz and defining my buffer to hold 4096 samples. Which is does. However, when I print this data out, copy it into MATLAB to double check accuracy, the sample rate I have to use is half of my iPhone defined rate, or 22050 Hz, for it to be correct.
I think it has something to do with the following code and how it is putting 2 bytes per packet, and when I am looping through the buffer, the buffer is spitting out the whole packet, which my code assumes is a single number. So what I am wondering is how to split up those packets and read them as individual numbers.
- (void)setupAudioFormat {
    memset(&dataFormat, 0, sizeof(dataFormat));
    dataFormat.mSampleRate = kSampleRate;
    dataFormat.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;
    dataFormat.mFramesPerPacket = 1;
    dataFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = 1;
    //  dataFormat.mBytesPerFrame = 2;
    //  dataFormat.mBytesPerPacket = 2;
    dataFormat.mBitsPerChannel = 16;
    dataFormat.mReserved = 0;

    dataFormat.mBytesPerPacket = dataFormat.mBytesPerFrame = (dataFormat.mBitsPerChannel / 8) * dataFormat.mChannelsPerFrame;
    dataFormat.mFormatFlags =
    kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsSignedInteger |
    kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsPacked;
}

If what I described is unclear, please let me know. Thanks!
EDIT
Adding the code that I used to print the data
float *audioFloat =  (float *)malloc(numBytes * sizeof(float));
int *temp = (int*)inBuffer->mAudioData;
int i;
float power = pow(2, 31);
for (i = 0;i<numBytes;i++) {
    audioFloat[i] = temp[i]/power;
    printf("%f ",audioFloat[i]);
}

A: I found the problem with what I was doing. It was a c pointer issue, and since I have never really programmed in C before, I of course got them wrong.
You can not directly cast inBuffer->mAudioData to an int array. So what I simply did was the following
SInt16 *buffer = malloc(sizeof(SInt16)*kBufferByteSize);
buffer = inBuffer->mAudioData;

This worked out just fine and now my data is of correct length and the data is represented properly.

A: I saw your answer, there also is an underlying issue which gives wrong sample data bytes which is because of an endian issue of bytes being swapped.
-(void)feedSamplesToEngine:(UInt32)audioDataBytesCapacity audioData:(void *)audioData {
    int sampleCount = audioDataBytesCapacity / sizeof(SAMPLE_TYPE);
SAMPLE_TYPE *samples = (SAMPLE_TYPE*)audioData;
//SAMPLE_TYPE *sample_le = (SAMPLE_TYPE *)malloc(sizeof(SAMPLE_TYPE)*sampleCount );//for swapping endians

std::string shorts;
double power = pow(2,10);
for(int i = 0; i < sampleCount; i++)
{
    SAMPLE_TYPE sample_le =  (0xff00 & (samples[i] << 8)) | (0x00ff & (samples[i] >> 8)) ; //Endianess issue
    char dataInterim[30];
    sprintf(dataInterim,"%f ", sample_le/power); // normalize it.
    shorts.append(dataInterim);
}

The pace at which the socket types have been changing has slowed down considerably since the heyday of the desktop PC, which is in decline compared to tablet PCs and smartphones, now enjoying their heyday.
Personally, I don't see desktop and laptop PCs becoming redundant any time soon. I would much rather have a laptop PC than any tablet and I use a desktop PC at home. Laptops are still relatively expensive. If I want to upgrade my desktop PC to the latest hardware, I just have to back up my files and go online and buy a motherboard, processor and RAM bundle costing about £150. Then it's just a question of reinstalling Windows, my software and restoring my files. Microsoft's ISO download of Windows 10 is always right up to date. Gone are the days when you had to create a 'slipstreamed' install disc that added Service Packs to an earlier Windows install disc.
The following post deals with how to obtain the Windows 7/8.1/10 downloads to create an installation disk.

Annotated images of ATX Socket Intel LGA 775, AMD Socket A and Socket 939 motherboards
Visit the Annotated images of ATX Socket LGA775, Socket A and Socket 939 motherboards page on this website to see annotated images of those two socket-type motherboards.
AMD and Intel motherboard processor sockets are never interchangeable
Although they can be very different electronically, CPU sockets all look similar at first glance, being square and about the same size no matter how many processing cores the processor itself contains – processors get thicker as their core number increases – and can be seen immediately when examining a PC's motherboard.
AMD and Intel motherboard sockets are never interchangeable; they can only be used by the products of the motherboard manufacturers that they have been designed to support.
The rate at which Intel and AMD were changing the type of motherboard sockets that their desktop PC processors use was confusing as well as being infuriating. It meant that even if the motherboard form-factor remained the same (ATX or micro-ATX), every time the type of processor housing changed or there were technical changes to the existing platforms, if Intel was your choice of manufacturer, a new motherboard usually had to be purchased if you wanted to upgrade from one type of socket to another. Or having to that was necessary for a more advanced processor that used the same socket type. You had no choice in the matter because the previous processor housing was then no longer supported.
AMD provided far better backward-compatibility of its latest processors with its previous socket type, but, even with AMD, when a radically new CPU architecture came into being a new motherboard was required.
But now that the market for desktop PCs has slowed down considerably since smartphones and tablets became the most popular form of PC, the rate of change of CPU sockets has also slowed down considerably. Computer users are still using their desktop and laptop PCs but are making them last much longer than was the case when the PC was unrivaled.
There was a large increase in PC sales when support for Windows XP ended in June 2014, so, as Windows 7 gets older and more PC users are forced to upgrade to Windows 10 or buy new PCs, there will probably be another similar increase in PC sales that will spark off further technological developments. That said, the dominance that the desktop PC enjoyed has gone forever.
The image at the top of this page shows a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) processor socket. The pin holes match the pin layout of the processor and so, when aligned correctly, the processors that the socket supports should just drop into the socket without using any force.
The processor is dropped into the socket with the brown arm at the bottom of the socket raised. When the processor is inserted, the arm is lowered all the way down, thereby fixing the processor into the socket. AMD has always used pins on its processors. Intel used to use pins but then changed to using metal contact points on the processor that match metal pits in the socket. The heatsink and fan cooling unit is fixed to the plastic protrusions in the middle of the left and right sides of the socket shown in the image above.
All of the specifications of AMD and Intel processors for the desktop PC
Visit the following page that provides access to tables containing all of the technical specifications (socket type, code name (Haswell, Ivybridge, Skylark, etc.) clock speed, supported instruction sets, caches, etc.) and other information, such as the dates of release, of all of the processors made by AMD and Intel up to the present. The earliest processors are listed first. The further down the list a processor appears, the more recent it is. Look down the Socket/Slot column for the socket type for a particular model of processor.
In March 2017, the new AMD Ryzen processors that use Socket AM4 were not yet included in the Techarp Comparison Guide, linked to below. The following post provides information on them.
Note that the new AMD Ryzen Threadipper models use the new rectangular Socket TR4. There are three Threadipper models – 8, 12 and 16 cores. The processor, shown held by hand in the image below, is enormous, requiring an enormous socket. Below that image, the Socket TR4 itself is shown in an image of an ASUS PRIME X399-A motherboard (£280 in December 2017). This is AMD's first LGA (Land Grid Array) socket that has the pins in the socket instead of on the processor, which is called Pin Grid Array (PGA). All of Intel's processors have been LGA for over a decade, starting in 2004. The Threadipper CPUs only have metal contact points on the bottom of the processor (LGA). The other Ryzen CPUs still use pins on the processor (PGA).

They all go in, but they never, never come out again. Being at a great disadvantage, Abby would go to great lengths to give herself a makeover. Buck apologizes for the 'false alarm,' but the townsfolk are not quick to forgive Chicken Little. One day while she is walking an acorn falls from a tree, and hits the top of her little head.
Chicken Little Jane on the Big John summary and study guide are also available on the mobile version of the website. The illustrations have bright and happy colors all throughout, from green and yellow, to light blue and purple. Trying to help, his friend Abby Mallard encourages Chicken Little to talk to his father, but he really only wants to make his dad proud of him. By and by she meets the hen. I am used to Chicken Little being a boy in each version, but in this version Chicken Little is a girl. However, his plans to make his Father proud are sidelined when Foxy Loxey becomes the team's champion, leading the team to the final game of the season.
She likes to look at the trees. This story has multiple lessons being taught such as everything isn't always what it seems to be. Following the casting of Braff, supervising animator Jason Ryan adapted Braff's facial features during recording sessions to better combine the dorkiness and adorability the filmmakers desired. Independent student reading could be used for that same reason. Literary elements that are used in Chicken Little are obviously first off personification, which is giving inanimate objects human characteristics. Once they understand what is happening, the different poultry calls on a helping character to get them out of their situation and Foxy is sent to prison.
At the time of the release of Chicken Little, the co-production deal between Disney and Pixar was set to expire with the release of Cars in 2006. Soon after 2006, when became ' new chief creative officer, he called for all sequels and future sequels that Disneytoon had planned to be cancelled. Links to published reviews from professional sources if any: The picture book Chicken Little is about a small chicken who while skipping through the streets is spotted by a hungry fox. Each story there is presented as if it were a separate book, and in this case had two illustrations by. Foxy Loxy the fox pretends to be the police and tries to capture Chicken Little and all of her friends. Chicken Little is a classic tale of a chicken that got hit by an acorn and believed that the sky was falling.
She screamed out in horror before being calmed by a hen who then calls over a turkey, duck and goose. In this version, unlike others, Chicken Little is a little girl as opposed to a little boy, making the protagonist female, a rarity in literature. After this point, there are many endings. This reversed the slump that the company had been facing since 2000, during which time it released several films that underperformed, most notably 2002 and 2004. Much like the boy who cried wolf, the chicken though did not realize at first he was wrong. Critical reaction Critical response aggregator, , reports that 37% of 160 surveyed critics gave positive reviews; the average score is 5. In this story, Br'er Rabbit initiates the panic but does not take part in the mass flight, although Br'er Fox does.

The release date change was also the day before changed the release date of , from November 2006 to May 2007. The illustrations in this book are chock full of details, and the book has great potential for re-reading after re-reading. I used it during literacy t get the children to read along with me.
In this American version of the story, the characters' names are Chicken Little, Hen-Pen, Duck-Luck, Goose-Loose, and Fox-Lox; Chicken Little is frightened by a leaf falling on her tail. He makes gurgling sounds, cannot speak properly and acting out what he feels. Some pages include white space around the pictures while other pages hold full bleed pictu Steven Kellog recreated a comical story. Chicken Little is still hurt that his Father seems let down by his previous actions, and decides to play for the school baseball team. Teachers can teach about the role of the protagonist Chicken Little is a classic tale of a chicken that got hit by an acorn and believed that the sky was falling. The fox Ræv Skræv joins in the flight and, when they reach the wood, counts them over from behind and eats them one by one.
In the most familiar, a fox invites them to its lair and then eats them all. Chicken Little was animated in-house at Walt Disney Feature Animation's main headquarters in and released by on November 4, 2005, in the first film to be released in this format along with the standard 2-D version. Teaching Idea: Using this story in your classroom, students can compare and contrast two different versions of the story to show how a story can be changed slightly but also have similar characteristics. I enjoyed reading this book mostly for the reason that I know children would love this book. However, hearing his friends panicking as the aliens draw closer, he rings the bell. Edinburgh: William and Robert Chambers.
She sees characters like, Ducky Lucky and Henny Penny along the way Steven Kellog recreated a comical story. In other versions where the birds are eaten by the fox, the fable is interpreted as a warning not to believe everything one is told. However, despite his bad deeds, the fox is returned justice and the Hippo Police captures him and puts him in jail. Chicken Little is too smart for his nonsense and realizes he is the criminal from the wanted add but it was to late, she was thrown in with the rest. Foxy Loxy explains what his Chicken Little on the head and throws the acorn high into the air, causing chaos but resulting in freedom. She takes a generally optimistic approach to life.
Unfortunately, she is often teased by Foxy for her appearance. He's thinking of all the different recipes he could use. I think this bo Chicken Little is a really cute book. There are not many obvious ways of saying that Chicken Little shows a diverse perspective, but you could analyze it deeper and say that every age and many different animals believe Chicken Little when he makes his statement. The townspeople then follow Chicken Little, Abbey and Runt back to the baseball field, only to find nothing there.

Super GT's Sustainable Fuel
Stewart Mitchell
Super GT is to be the first championship in Asia to run on a 100% biofuel. With the decision to use the fully sustainable fuel, the GT Association has achieved a significant milestone in leading the motorsport industry towards a more sustainable future. I ETS Racing Fuels, a brand of HCS Group, has been selected by the GT Association (GTA) to supply its 100% sustainable Renewablaze GTA R100 for all race cars as of the 2023 season onwards.
ETS Renewablaze GTA R100 is a racing fuel containing proprietary renewable components that significantly reduce CO2 emissions while meeting the high-performance race fuel criteria. The fuel complies with the required JIS K2202:2012-Premium(E) specification and can be a drop-in solution.

On this new fuel, Masaaki Bandoh, Chairman of the GT Association, says, 'The motorsport industry is strongly committed to a low carbon future and is putting all its efforts into implementing sustainable fuels. For the Super GT series, we have decided to introduce 100% renewable fuel as one of the key approaches to environmental sustainability. In such an environment, I am very proud of the good start of the activity in close cooperation with ETS Racing Fuels.'
Dr Bruno Philippon, Senior Vice President of Business Unit Mobility, continued, 'As a strong partner to the motorsport industry and a pioneer of fuel development, we are committed to supporting the racing sector on its journey to going greener. We are excited to partner with GTA to demonstrate our proprietary technologies contributing to more sustainable mobility.'
Several different sustainable biomass sources of 100% plant-based raw materials make up the ETS Racing Fuels Renewablaze GTA R100. Cellulosic material that is converted into hydrocarbons and oxygenates derives the feedstock. It contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing CO2 emissions through the CO2 absorption of the growing plant and by avoiding the release of CO2 held within conventional fossil feedstocks.
Hiroki Kawamoto, ETS Racing Fuels Manager for Japan, proudly notes, 'I am very honoured to introduce our cutting-edge fuel technology through the Super GT Championship to the Japanese market. We aim to continuously support the further growth of the entire Japanese racing industry and lead the way in sustainability across Asia in the cooperation with GTA.'
Yann Labia, ETS Racing Fuels Global Manager, added, 'Renewablaze GTA R100 offers a true low-carbon-footprint solution with uncompromising high performance. We are extremely proud to support GTA in its ground-breaking decision to supply the Super GT Championship with our fully sustainable Renewablaze racing fuel.'
ETS fuels work in close cooperation with engine manufacturers and race teams to meet the challenges of worldwide racing and regulations. The sustainable Renewablaze portfolio should significantly contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the motorsport industry.

An accounting method in which income is recorded when cash is received, and expenses are recorded when cash is paid out.
Cash basis accounting does not conform with the provisions of GAAP and is not considered a good management tool because it leaves a time gap between recording the cause of an action (sale or purchase) and its result (payment or receipt of money). It is, however, simpler than the accrual basis accounting and quite suitable for small organizations that transact business mainly in cash. Also called cash accounting.
Me and my friend had to practice a little cash basis accounting in order to determine what we needed to do next.
You should try and use a cash basis accounting technique if you want to always know where all of your funds stand.
Small businesses use cash basis accounting to monitor their income and pay outs, to help them know what their profits/losses are.

WeView Verdict: Injustice Gods Among Us
Dan Jones 09/09/13 2 Comments
There were only five of you who contributed to this week's WeView that had actually played Injustice Gods Among Us, so this article may be a little short in length. Hopefully tomorrow's choice of game attracts a few more to particpate.
With their first ever comment on TheSixthAxis was Ylowz, who had high expectations for Injustice, but "luckily it didn't disappoint". They further added that "the characters are represented well and the gameplay is fluid which makes out for some great multiplayer fun".
However, not all their words for Injustice were positive. They didn't have the "same urge to play the single player modes" as the multiplayer ones, and they had a few issues with the DLC. Even more frustrating for Ylowz was the fact that Batman didn't match their fighting style – I can only imagine the disappointment!
WeView Suggestion: 17/09/13
Elpablo76 was next to give their two cents on Injustice who, as a fan of the latest Mortal Kombat game, felt "Injustice would be in safe hands". The story mode, however, didn't " quite match the length of MK's" but was "still enjoyable and engaging" nevertheless. They were also not a huge fan of the following DLC for the game, as "the new characters are great but have no alternate costumes".
The most enthusiastic Injustice fan was Pdannysan13 saying that it "is like everything you wished for in a superhero game". The animations were "seamless and fluid", and the story mode was "a strong point" for Injustice. They concluded that "if you want a fighting game and want to laugh with your friends until you fall off the couch" Injustice is the game to get.
After playing the demo for the game our own Craig Dodgson wasn't "overly impressed" with Injustice, but after picking up a cheap copy he "ended up really liking the game". In particular he liked the way the game blended story and gameplay calling it "simple but effective". Injustice, as Craig describes, is "fairly easy for button mashers…to pick up and play" but also allows for some complexity for advanced players.
The final comment for this week's WeView comes from Starman, who kept their comment short and sweet:
Good selection of characters, offline modes & challenges and lots to unlock. Solid combat (or should that be kombat?) and I like the Killer Instinct style life meters.
Only five votes were cast this week, all of which, were Buy It! With a 100% Buy It rating this surely could be a WeView record. I don't think anyone can argue that Injustice is certainly worth buying for all DC and fighting fans, with the only issue to worry about being the DLC.
As for tomorrow, we've got Spec Ops: The Line as it was the most voted for in last week's poll. Thomas Was Alone and Resistance: Burning Skies weren't far behind, so manage to stay in the poll, and are joined by Insomniac's Overstrike Fuse and GTA IV to coincide with the release of GTA V.

3D pokemon? As in a proper adventure pokemon and not just an online arena, like the one coming for wii? That would be nice, since like 10 or so of the latest pokemon games have pretty much looked the same.
It's kind of a shame that no one plays magic anymore(at least where i live). All around perfect card game for beginners and pros alike. I wonder if there could be a good business opportunity to introduce some new card game with a more mature target audience(compared to pokemon). Maybe could gather all the old nerds to play Magic for old times' sake.
Yeah of course, as the RPG one. Those Colosseum ones are pointless IMO. But then again, I never owned any, so I can't really speak.
As for Magic, while all around perfect and approachable by any, the game was pretty much based on how much of it you bought. The more cards you got, the better decks you could build (the boosters weren't that cheap, and usually the premade decks were crap, so you would either spend a lot or have a crap deck) and that would throw some away. But it was a blast making totally random decks with luck based combos and beat everyone. Multi battles were pretty neat. Oh and the official competitions were fun, with all that thriller and tension around, (and after winning the whole thing I could get free money and free booster boxes heh)
I haven't played for years, and I sold most of my cards. But I still have my old deck.
But yeah overall, Magic's magic is wearing off.
I wish it would come as a DS game or something to revive some memories though.
Too square to be hip
Reply #531 on: May 30, 2007, 01:21:38 pm
Same feeling about Magic. I solve it by not playing for a few years, then jumping right back in. I just bought some Oddyssey block cards to finish an old block-themed deck, and I plan on keeping it. Same with my Tempest deck.
And Pokémon is brilliant as a game. It was a game long before it became a franchise. It just works. It's simple to get into, hard to get to the top. If you get bored, there's millions of other stuff to do. It's like a story-based sandbox game in many aspects. It's also a collector's game, which helps making it addictive. The idea of having to look for friends that play for those last final pokémon is brilliant too, and not many other games managed to pull it off in the same way.
I do agree that it gets a little stale if you played all of them and they keep adding more pokémon. Some are cool, like Slakoth/Vigoroth/Slaking, others are really lame, like Bidoof here, or that green starter pokémon that evolves into Meganium (compared to the awesome Venusaur).
I loved Fire Red/Leaf Green. The old formula with the awesome GBA graphics (I love the candy coating)

Life without knowledge is death in disguise
Pokemon is a great game.
I don't want to see it in 3d though, I would rather like to see those things fully animated beating the crap out of each other in a sideview battlesystem allowing for all pokemon to participate the fight (that 1v1/2v2 is really lame and makes no sense).
That's technically absolutely doable.
Especially on that DS thing.
But instead they keep and keep on adding new critters in every new game whie adding nothing really new.
The abilities and holdable items in gold/silver were a good start but that was about it innovation wise.
Oh yeah and the TV show is crap.
Does scaling an image blur it?
Opera fix Firefox fix

Magic is indeed awesome. Going to a tech school, there are plenty of people around who play; I'd estimate that at least half of the people there play or have played. Due to cost of cards, I'm a fan of casual play or limited events; booster drafts and sealed are fun because they create a relatively level playing field. Everyone has the same chance to open a Damnation or Akroma, no matter how much experience or money you have.
Always remember: a preposition is not something you should end a sentence with.

I think he was referring to the past issues/comments you made in the past, that turned into small arguments. You know, you say something, it isn't received well by so and so, and people ask you to calm down and what not (not pointing fingers as to whose fault it was, anyhow...).
By the by, noticed the new avvy, there Gil. Nice to see an animation. However, I don't quite understand what he's doing. Is he like, quickly transporting himself behind an invisible opponent, pulling off a 2 hit combo, or something?
my back hurts...
Opacus
What what what? New ava? I don't see any animation :0
It's a quick animation I did, but I'm not sure where to take it yet.
It's basically a 2 hit combo, and then a teleport away to avoid a counter move...

Thesis student Bradley Baker is one of serval students who has performed at Nothing Arts Center.
The cost of 'Nothing'
Post author:Giulia Heyward
Not a single discarded TV went to waste for a period of time in Sarasota.
"People were […] thinking 'It would be cool to line this [space] with TVs,'" thesis student Hedda Cooper said. "And then you would look out for all the TVs you could find on the side of the road that were in working condition so they can be hooked up to the monitor."
Letters were cut out of cardboard, second-hand pillow cases were gutted to make clouds, and couches were also taken from the side of the road.
"Literally, everything in there is garbage," Cooper said.
"Repurposed garbage house," alum James Carillo ('11) added.
The repurposed garbage house is Nothing Arts Center, occasionally shortened to Nothing, a rented warehouse nestled on Goodrich Avenue that hosts music performances, student art shows and workshops. However, for the team of Novocollegians, both current students and alums, including Cooper and Carillo, behind the space, it is a little less magic and a little more something that has been described as a burden to upkeep — mentally, emotionally and financially.
It all began with an ad on Craigslist.
"I was just looking for ads on Craigslist for warehouses, and they're all super expensive so it's usually a fruitless task, and I saw one of the most reasonably priced warehouses in all of Sarasota called Meadow," Nothing organizer Jill Robitaille ('10) said. "It was not only the cheapest warehouse, it was the closest warehouse I had ever seen to New College and Ringling and the North Trail Area and it was a good size and it was air conditioned!"
A selection of zines throughout the year can be found at the zine library at Nothing Arts Center.
The idea of housing a space into a warehouse was an ingenious considering Sarasota's noise ordinance policy.
"There has been a history of houses in Sarasota being used as punk venues," Robitaille said. "There were also not very accessible or safe or inclusive. […] The warehouse is kind of a way to not bother anyone."
Despite the bargain that the warehouse might have been, the organizers of Nothing did struggle to cover rent for four months.
The warehouse costs $650 a month with an additional $10-30 to cover utilities, meaning air conditioning and electricity.
Nothing profits from the $5 admissions fee for every event, the $20 monthly membership fee, which covers every event for that month and the $50 key fee, which allows members a key to use the warehouse space for art projects.
The $5 membership fee is split, half goes to making that month's rent and the other half goes toward reimbursing the groups that have performed for that event.
"The space was super nice about letting us come ahead of time to set up and practice. They even shared equipment," thesis student Joy Feagan said. Feagan is a drummer for Kenny's Dad, a band that has previously performed at Nothing Arts Center. Feagan said that the band was more than compensated "with kindness."
"We would all meet before rent was due, with a calculator and be like 'alright I've got 20' or 'I can do 50 this month' or be like 'I need 10,'" Robitaille said. "And we will all just be adding it up and saying 'We need 400 or 500 dollars.' We would just be like 'Oh, I can pay 2 months upfront so you can just have it now' or trying to put up all the money that we could."
Even during these months, the organizers would still allow people to come to the shows for free.
"At first, we were putting in a lot of personal contributions, Jill put in a lot of her money and then we were making contributions upwards of $100 when it was first starting before we had a basis to do anything," Cooper said.
Cooper said that Nothing now thrives off of admission and membership fees.
"Since it's just a suggested donation, sometimes people will put in more money. Then we split the door money with touring bands," Cooper said.
"If someone doesn't pay or they forgot, we will usually be like 'yeah come on in' and it's fine," Robitaille said. "Typically if someone doesn't have the money, we'll be like 'It's okay, just pay us back.'"
With the consistent turnout at Nothing, the space has come a long way from the point in which it was close to being evicted.
"By the time of our first show, our air conditioning has broken and it was really hot," Robitaille said. "Most people were having a good time and were dancing. We woke up the next day to an eviction notice on the door. I was drunk at the time and calling the landlord."
The eviction notice was due to a combination of problems. This included the number of attendees who were peeing in the bushes instead of using the bathroom next to Nothing and the fact that Robitaille had been living in the warehouse at the time.
"I called the landlord and we were on good terms," Robitaille said. "It was fine, I just couldn't live there anymore.'
Robitaille eventually crashed on the couch of the home in which several of the organizers also lived, Swamp House. This endeavor proved to be advantageous to the already close group of friends who were organizers.
"That house became ground zero for organizing," Robitaille said.
Swamp House is where several of Nothing's organizers live. The organizers of Nothing have attended school together, are close friends and have also worked on a student organization, All Power to the Imagination (API), at New College.
Carillo describes this dynamic as being "fucking difficult."
"I think it can be really taxing in a couple ways," Cooper also said. "First, it can be kind of hard to separate our work at Nothing from our interpersonal relationships. It can be hard to have disagreements because they can bleed into interpersonal relationships. It can also be really difficult if people are having interpersonal problems and then have to organize together and leave that outside. On the other side, it can also be really difficult to stop the Nothing conversations when we are not at Nothing or to have space outside of talking about it."
This is a sentiment also shared by Robitaille.
"When rent's coming up, it's stressful," Robitaille said. "The thing is when I use these words it's not an unwelcome stress or expenditure of energy but it definitely does and has put a strain. It becomes difficult to separate our work and friendship."
Cooper and Carillo also describe the dynamic as being beneficial. They said that organizing for Nothing has, in certain ways, brought the group together.
The organizers have a lease that needs to be resigned in June, marking one year since the establishment's existence in Sarasota.
"I think a lot of us as individuals came into this with the expectation that we would have our own lives too and will be leaving this place," Carillo said. Carillo plans on leaving Sarasota within the next six months.
Despite the cost of running Nothing, the organizers believe that they have all had the ability to grow from this experience.
"I think that one thing that I've learned is that it's a lot easier than you think to start something like Nothing," Cooper said. "None of us really knew. We just looked at what other places like us had done and just took inspiration and methods from them and improvised our own. It's been super possible to do and super fulfilling."
