Rated 5 out of 5 by Modernman84 from Under Savior I really like this eye cream and it has impressive, dermo recommended ingredients. I like it in the fridge to give my under eye area an extra cooling sensation! After a good two weeks, although I saw results sooner, the darkness under my eyes diminished, the area is smoother and more hydrated.

These days, it seems like so many arbitrary things now have their own "National Day" (or week, or month—National Candied Orange Peel Day*, anyone?), but Poetry Month is a celebration that has been going on for twenty years! Regardless of the duration of its appreciation month, it's safe to say that poetry has been immeasurably influential throughout human history; even before the invention of writing, people told stories to one another in the form of long, epic poems. Now, candied oranges are pretty great, and chances are they've been around for a long time too, but we're betting that they haven't had quite the same societal and artistic impact.
It may seem that poetry is much less common these days than it was back when the Bard was around, but that isn't necessarily true. While we don't all wait for the latest poem with baited breath, poetry still plays a big part in expression and art in today's world. But with its loss of mainstream prevalence, there has been something of a loss of education in the poetic field, so to speak. Many students these days aren't introduced to poetry until middle or high school, and by then, it can be increasingly difficult to "get into it." So, we at eNotes have done some research into some of the best ways to celebrate this month of poems. Even if we're getting started halfway through the month, the April celebration of all things poetic need not stop on the 30th; if you like what you're doing, why not bring the spirit into May?
On Poets.org you can take out a subscription and get a free poem delivered straight to your inbox every morning!
A big part of what's daunting about poetry is that a lot of people don't really understand what it's about or how to begin writing or appreciating it. Poetry classes are surprisingly common, so look up the public classes in your area and find one that deals with poetry.
If you're one of the many people who think that something has to rhyme in order to be a poem, you may want to look into doing a little research! There are so many kinds of poetry, it's a little crazy. If you want a little limerick, of course there are tons of those, but there are also sonnets, free-verse, haiku, epic… Basically, there are as many types of poems as there are genres of novels—maybe even more.
Delving further into the idea of poetry genres, you may find it worth your while to look into some poetry from around the world. Not only will you be introduced to a bunch of new authors you may not have otherwise become acquainted with, but you'll also discover some unique styles (i.e. the Japanese haiku, or the ancient Persian ghazal).
Let me start by saying that poetry slams are pretty cool; where else can you go and listen to local authors perform their work with some serious passion?
Poetry slams are great opportunities to hear about unique perspectives on social issues (good and bad) in the company of your peers. These slams can get pretty competitive and intense, so if you do go to one, be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster. In a good way. A good place to start is Button Poetry's YouTube page and also our poetry slam post with a selection of moving social justice poems.
If poetry is your thing (either reading it or writing it), why not find others that share that passion? Sharing poetry is hard, especially if it's a poem that you've written yourself; poems share a special piece of your psyche, and opening up on that level isn't easy. So if you can find some fellow aspiring poets, it may be beneficial to share your work with one another and get a little soul-baring practice in a safe space.
Having some inspirational and/or beautiful words to call upon when you're feeling blue can be a highly therapeutic tool. It can be a long poem or a short one, but either way, you may find that making a poem with a calming message into a mantra may be a good way to keep you in a happy place, even in the tough times.
Chances are that you're a busy person, and when you're a busy person, sometimes the last thing you want to do in your free time is, well, more work. But writing doesn't have to be something you just do for school. If you like poetry, it may be nice to set aside a chunk of time to let your brain do its artsy thing and create something meaningful.
One great thing about art is that so many of its forms can be blended together. For example, how often do you listen to a song and find yourself daydreaming or imagining something awesome? Poetry works to inspire us in much the same way; next time you read a poem, imagine the imagery it creates and give drawing it a try. At the very least, you'll have a cool piece of art to put on the wall.
A metaphor is a powerful poetic device that can be defined as a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Metaphors are so common that often we don't really pay attention to one when we hear it. For the rest of April, keep a list of metaphors you hear day-to-day. It may be fun to look back at the end of the month (or whenever) to see what little expressions people are using these days.
Chances are you're at least familiar with the concept of a TED Talk. If not, TED is a non-profit devoted to spreading ideas and education, usually in the form of short but passionate speeches. Poets and poetry are frequent stars of the TED stage, so if you can't make it to a slam or are looking for a particular type of poem, check out some TED Talks online or find out if there's one coming to your area.

Hit up the app store for your smart-device (whatever it may be) and download Poetry Magazine's app for inside information about poetry, poems, and poets of the past and present.
Post a poem with the hashtag #NationalPoetryMonth to get your work noticed. Also fun: search the hashtag and take a look at poems others have already tweeted.
This month, NPR's "Tell Me More" has some poetically inclined features, including the reading of listener-submitted poetry (another opportunity to share your art with the world, and this way you could be as anonymous as you please).
*In case you were wondering, National Candied Orange Peel Day does actually appear to be a thing, and it falls on May 4th.

Frustrated, lonely and isolated, low-income seniors are hit hard by the pandemic

With no place to go, many seniors spend days in their room, with food delivery their only human contact
By Gary Warth
Nov. 27, 2020 6:38 AM PT
SAN DIEGO —
Evelyn Rogers loved going to the Potiker Family Senior Residence in downtown San Diego to join a friend in a singing group, do arts and crafts, work on a computer and socialize with others.
"You could stay for hours and play videos or play the piano," recalled Rogers, 60. "But we're not allowed to do anything anymore. We can't have fun with other people. "
The Potiker Family Senior Residence and the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center, both operated by the nonprofit Serving Seniors, discontinued their in-person classes and activities in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paul Downey, president and CEO of Serving Seniors, said the move was made to protect the health of the clients they serve. But it also came with a cost.
"Aside from, obviously, the health implications of catching COVID, the single biggest impact of this is the social isolation," he said. "On a typical day at the wellness center, we'd have 500 and 600 people come through. They could do travel classes, tai chi, yoga, chair aerobics, go to the cyber cafe, a singing group or do art projects."
"There's no much to do, due to the COVID. Just stay home and wait for my food."
Evelyn Rogers
That all ended in March. Now, a room that once saw the same friends meeting daily for meals is used for packing food into boxes for delivery, a service that grew from 60,000 deliveries a month to 220,000 to help seniors who are shut in.
For some, the quick hand-off of the package meals five days a week is one of the only interactions they have with another person.
"There's no much to do, due to the COVID," Rogers said. "Just stay home and wait for my food."
In response to the isolation many seniors are experiencing, Serving Seniors has created Connections, a program where volunteers call home-bound seniors three days a week to chat and check up on them.
The nonprofit isn't alone in recognizing the plight of many seniors during the pandemic. The San Diego Seniors Community Foundation this year launched a $1 million No Senior Alone initiative and has provided about $200,000 in grants to various organization to address the issue.
Samond Hayes, 21, is one of the Serving Seniors deliver drivers who bring food to people's homes. Rogers is among about 100 people on his route, which covers 13 buildings.
"Serving Seniors," Hayes says as he knocks on each door on his route. People usually answer with a heartfelt smile and thank Hayes, although some are bed-ridden and ask him to come inside.
On Tuesday, he delivered a warm salisbury steak dinner and bags with breakfast and lunch. There would be no deliveries on Thanksgiving, but Wednesday's delivery would include turkey for clients to enjoy on the holiday.
His first stop was to a disabled woman who lives at Lions Community Manor.
"One time I went in and she was on the floor," Hayes said, revealing that sometimes his job involves more than just food delivery. "I had to help her up."
At the Sara Frances Hometel, client Judy Trotter, 77, also said she does little outside her room these days.
"I don't really do nothing," she said. "I go out if I go to the store or if I go to the doctor or the bank. But other than that, I'm inside."

Trotter's isolation isn't because of COVID-19, which she said she isn't worried about. Rather, it's her own lifestyle choice.
Michael Stone, who also lives at the Sara Frances Hometel, said at 66 he is concerned about catching COVID-19, so he spends much of his day watching Netflix and cable TV at home.
"I don't want to catch this thing," he said. "I have to be around for the ones who love me. I don't go anywhere. I don't do anything too much. My life is very bland, but I'm alive and I'm safe."
Stone is known in the local music scene as Stoney B. As leader of the Stoney B Blues Band, he used to play four gigs a week. With the shutdown, he's played four shows since March, including a couple that were live-streamed for safety reasons.
"We were just happy as hell to be playing somewhere together," he said.
While some clients said they are going stir-crazy, others said they have adapted.

"It could be worse," said Tom Treher, a Horton House resident who will be 74 on Dec. 4. "Much of my life has been here in my apartment anyway, listening to sports shows. I keep myself active. I still do floor exercise and that sort of ting. I play guitar a little bit."
Treher is blind, but he goes out shopping on his own. He used to go to the Blind Community Center, but now participates in the organization's virtual classes.
"I have Spanish on Monday and French on Friday," he said. "There's trivia on Wednesday and bingo on Friday."
As for person-to-person contact, Treher said that's limited to Hayes, people he meets in the lobby and others he meets while shopping.
At the Golden West Hotel, Serving Seniors client Richard Parker, 70, also said he does not feel isolated because of the shutdown.
"I have a very nice mountain bike and ride as much as I can," he said. "I stay away from most people."
Parker said he is taking the pandemic seriously.
"This virus, whatever is going around, is no joke," he said. "I've been watching the news. I'm coping with it."
Fellow Golden West resident Kenneth Gerber, 74, said he used to go to the Gary and Mary West Wellness Center for meals but not for other activities, so its shutdown didn't impact him too much.
Still, life has been more boring this year, he said.
"There ain't really much to do," he said. "I go out and take walks, but that's about it. I used to like to take off and go all over the place, but ain't nothing open no more, hardly."
Margarita Morales, 64, lives at the Peachtree Inn and said the shutdown has been especially frustrating for her mother, 91, who lives with her and used to like to go shopping.
"I used to take my mom out," she said. "We used to go out and eat. We can't do that anymore. Now we can memorize this room by heart. I can close my eyes and know where everything is at."
Morales said she bought beads for her mother to make bracelets as a way of keeping busy. Looking forward to cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving, she thought of how things could be worse.
"I'm thankful no one in my family has gotten the coronavirus, and I'm thankful for having a roof over my head and clothes on my back," she said.

Please select options for C&L Cold Air Intake w/ 73mm MAF (01-04 V6) at the top of this page.
Maximum Airflow. A C&L Performance Cold Air Intake kit will replace your V6's restrictive factory MAF, air box, and paper filter element with a high flow filter assembly to maximize airflow for a noticeable increase in horsepower, torque and performance.
Pre-calibrate 73mm MAF Housing. This C&L Performance cold air intake kit includes a brand new cast aluminum 73mm MAF housing that is already calibrated for use with the factory fuel injectors, MAF sensor not included.
Application. This C&L Performance Cold Air Intake System is specifically designed for use on 2001 to 2004 Mustangs equipped with either the 3.8L or 3.9L V6 engine.Technical Note. This kit reuses the factory air inlet tube.
Hey I'm trying to install one of these on my 02 mustang, but I didn't receive a bracket to support it in order to receive maximum performance of the intake. Do you have something that you sell or recommend to support it.
Unfortunately, we do not carry a bracket specific for supporting this intake, however, it may be possible to source something locally or through online resources.
i know it says 01-04, but will this product fit on a 2000 v6 automatic? the engine is still stock.
The C&L Cold Air Intake w/ 73mm MAF will not fit a 2000 V6.
Hi. I currently have the BBK Cold Air Intake on my 03 V6 mustang. I am not a fan of the "through the fender" design and was thinking of swapping out just the "maf foward" section as I have a nitrous setup that is intergrated with the cold air intake tubing just before the throttle body. Can this unit work with the BBK cold air intake tubing?
Hello, this CAI is designed to work with the factory air intake tubing that came on your mustang, so we cannot guarantee fitment without some modification.
is this filter a straight forward install or is this one of the filters where you have to run it through the fender well?
It is a straight through. It mounts directly to the stock intake hose.
Motor seems to be running smoother and stronger. Not a huge difference but noticeable. I don't think the filter will move around much at all, like others have complained about. Wouldn't be hard to fabricate a mounting bracket, but not needed. Got the Bama street tune and although not impressed with the power increase, it does run much smoother. Overall happy with the improvement.
Awesome cold air set up that was super quick to install, and the boost in performance for my v6 was immediate. Acceleration and MPG both affected in a positive way. I'm also running with a dual conversion cat back system and combining this intake with my current set up was perfect. The kit includes conical reusable air filter, wider mass air flow tube, and sturdy plastic heat shield, even better it uses your mustangs stock intake tube which made the install even easier.
The install was straight forward until the mounting of the filter. The collar is heavy metal that fits into the stock intake. Without a mounting bracket to fit the pre drilled holes. The filter is supported by the plastic shield. This is not good as the filter lays on the shield, will bounce around and will not gain maximum performance from the filter. I currently have the unit supported by #10 solid electrical wire (looks bad but works). I'm hoping that I can either find a mounting bracket (1st) or I will return the product.
When installing the product, it is very straight foward. The maf housing is made of very durable metal with pre-drilled holes for a bracket (did not recieve any type of bracket though which was dissapointing), and when installing the sensor in the housing it was a tight fit. Everything lined up perfectly. The heat sheild seemed a little flimsy and useless. I ended up not using it. I do wish the product would have came with a pre-fabricated bracket and screw for the already pre-drilled holes in the maf housing. I ended up having to build my own bracket and had to run to the hardware store to pick up screws which would fit the housing. All in all it is a good product. When idling the car runs smoother, and I have noticed when accelerating the car goes through the rpm's smoother as well.

A Changed Lock Chapter 7: More Surprises
Submitted by Damaris Ann on Fri, 12/01/2017 - 23:10
Jules tossed and turned for a while before flinging her covers off. She swung her feet down into the soft carpet and sighed, rubbing her forehead. After flicking on her bedside lamp, she reached for the leather-backed book. She began to thumb through its pages before setting it down again. Jules wrapped her flannel robe around her and pattered quietly down the stairs, pausing to sit on the landing. She huddled there in the dark, burying her chin in her knees with her arms wrapped around her legs. A gentle hand touched her shoulder and she almost jumped out of her skin.
"Couldn't sleep, Chickadee?"
"No, Grandad." She returned the whisper. Duncan settled down next to her, and she snuggled her curly head against his shoulder. "What do you think he was talking about when he said he had more to tell me later on?"
"I don't know. I wondered, though... Did you notice that he has a wedding band on?"
Jules let out a soft gasp. "No, I didn't. Do you think he's married?"
"He may be. What would you think about that?"
"I'm not sure. I suppose it would depend on who it was that he married."
"I'm sure she'll be a lovely person."
"I wonder if I'll think of her as a mother."
Duncan reached his arm around her shoulders and held her closer. "Don't feel obligated to call them mom and dad, Chickadee. Take your time. It's hard for me to see him as a son, but God will warm our hearts to them in His time."
Jules smiled in the dark. "I won't overthink it, Grandad. At least I'll try not to." She kissed him on the cheek. "I feel like I can sleep now. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, little girl."
When Jules reappeared in the morning her hair was spilling over both shoulders, and she wore a happy smile. "Good morning, Kevin."
"Good morning, Jules. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, thanks. Did you?"
"I did. The guest bed is extremely comfortable."
"I'm glad. Have you had breakfast?"
"No, I only got up a few minutes ago myself. I think Dad is in the kitchen, though."
"I'll see if he needs help." Jules disappeared into the kitchen.
"Good morning Grandad. Want me to make breakfast?"
"Hey there. Sure, if you want. I was just putting on a pot of coffee."
"Mm. I'll make some oatmeal and baked apples. It's so chilly!"
"It is very chilly. There was a cold front early this morning. Hey, Kevin?"
Kevin appeared in the doorway. "Yeah Dad?"
"Would you give me a hand with the fireplace? It's cool enough that it'd feel pleasant. We'll eat picnic-style in the living room, Jules."
"Sounds good."
Jules busied herself in the kitchen, peeling and coring apples while keeping an eye on the oatmeal all the while. She liberally poured brown sugar and maple syrup into the oatmeal, stirring carefully. The seasoned apples filled the room with a rich aroma, making it smell like fall again. She pulled an opened bag of bacon out of the fridge and lined a pan with the rest of the slices. They sizzled and snapped cheerily, reminding Jules of all the mornings growing up when Duncan had made breakfast for her. She smiled, feeling thankful for the opportunity to serve in like kind. She heard voices coming from the family room, and craned her neck to hear what was being said.
"Can you hand me that box of matches there please?"
"Sure, Dad. Hey, when is Jules's birthday?"
"Next month, actually. On the seventeenth. How could you forget?"
"I didn't have anything to remind me, and I didn't care to be reminded until five years ago. And she'll be twenty-one?"
"Yes, she will."
Jules turned over the bacon, smiling gravely. She remembered asking her grandfather why her dad had left her.
"Because he knew he wasn't worthy to take care of you, Princess."
The answer still rang clear in her mind. "You knew best, Lord," she whispered. "You always do."
"Jules?"
"Do you need any help?"
"I'm almost done with the cooking. But," she bent down to rummage through one of the cabinets. "If you want to, you could spread this tablecloth over the coffee table. Just set the books and stuff under it; I'll clear them up later."
Kevin neatly caught the table cloth she tossed to him and tucked it under his arm. "Will do. Holler of you need a hand carrying food in."
"M'kay. I think I got it." She put together three sets of plates and bowls with good sized servings of all the food she had prepared. She carried them into the living room on a tray. Steam rose from the bowls of oatmeal, and Duncan sniffed appreciatively.
"This looks great, Jules."
"Thanks, Grandad. I'll be right back. I just have to grab the coffee." She went back to the kitchen and loaded her tray up with mugs and glasses, a steaming pot of coffee, and a pitcher of orange juice. "Everything's ready! Would you like to pray, Grandad?"
Duncan settled down into the leather cushions of his favorite armchair, tucking his pillows around him. "Alright. You ready?" He glanced over at Kevin."
"Yes." He nodded.
"Okay. Dear Lord, thank You for this food you have provided, and thank You for the hands that prepared it. Thank you for our time together, and Lord, thank you for bringing Kevin home. Amen."
"Amen." Jules and Kevin chimed in, smiling shyly at each other. They all busied themselves with eating for a few moments before Jules spoke up.
"So, Kevin, how long will you be staying with us here?"
"Until Monday. I have to fly home and take care of a few things before I can come down here permanently."
"What sort of things?"
"Business. Personal."
"Like?"
Kevin sighed, smiling while he shook his head. "You're persistent, aren't you?"
"Yes I am. I take after my grandfather."
"I suppose I'm the one to blame for that, after all."
"Yes, you are." Jules tucked her toes up under her and snuggled further down into her corner of the couch, pulling her blanket around her knees and tucking in the loose edges. She grinned mischievously. "Now tell me, what was it you said you were going to tell me later? I'm ready for whatever shocking news you may have."
"Okay, here goes." Kevin sat still, squeezing his hands together in a tight knot. His brow was wrinkled, as if he was searching for just the right words.
"Let me guess; you're married?"
"How did you know?"
Jules laughed at his surprise. "Grandad pointed out to me that you're wearing a wedding band."
Kevin grinned sheepishly. "I suppose that is a dead giveaway. But what if it was from your birth mom?"
"You were never married to her."
"Not that you knew."
Jules gasped. "Oh my word, were you?"
"No, I wasn't. I'm married to this sweet lady." He pulled a picture out of his wallet, and handed it to Jules. She stared closely at the petit face framed with wispy strawberry-blonde hair. She smiled.
"She does look very sweet. I think I'll like her."
"I'm sure you will. Here, Dad. Oh, and that's not the entire surprise. Here." He handed Jules another picture, and she squealed with delight.
"I have a baby sister? How old is she?"
"Tabitha turns three in June. I hoped you'd be excited."
She bounced in her seat. "When are you bringing her here to meet me? Please tell me it'll be soon. Oh, she's so cute. Look at her little blonde curls! And she has your blue eyes, Kevin."
Kevin smiled. "Yes she does. I was hoping I could bring her and Grace down here the first week of April."
Duncan spoke up. "You should, Kevin. That way we can have a birthday party for Jules. And we could all go to the Bluebonnet Festival together."
"What do you say, Jules?"
"I'd like that very much."
"Then it's settled. I'll let Grace know this afternoon."
They all settled into a comfortable silence, finishing the last of their breakfasts and enjoying the crackle and pop of the fire. After several minutes had passed, Kevin glanced over at Jules. He caught her eye and she blushed, looking down.
"What are you thinking, Jules?"
"I was trying to decide if I look like you at all."
"And?"
"My eyes look like yours, though a different color. They're the same shape. And then I have your mouth, and we both have curly hair, but yours is black and mine is brown."
"You look a lot like Arabella, except more like a genuine, lovely woman, whereas she always looked a bit washed out and half empty."
Jules stared silently into the fire for a few minutes before replying. "I've prayed every day since I can remember that God would allow me to be different from her. I don't mind looking like her, but I want to follow God, and she didn't."
"Well you do, and I'm thankful to see that. I've prayed for you every day for the last five years."
"Aww," Jules smiled down at her hands. "Thank you."
Duncan beamed at both of his children and sighed happily. "Thank God He listened to all of our prayers over the years."
Jules nodded thoughtfully before standing up. "I'd better get these dishes out of the way."
Kevin stood up and started to gather the coffee mugs. "I'll help. Besides, Dad looks like he could use a nap."
"That I could. You young folks enjoy the soapy water and soggy oatmeal slime."
"I thought you liked oatmeal, Grandad!"
"I like to eat it; I just don't particularly enjoy cleaning up after it."
"Good to know. The dish rags are in that drawer right there with the Cardinal painted on the handle, Kevin."
"Thanks. So, Jules, tell me about yourself. What are some of your hobbies?" He handed her a soapy dish to rinse and dry.
"I love to read, paint, and bake."
"Cool. I see Dad has taught you to properly appreciate literature. What are some of your long term plans?"
"Take care of Grandad. Hopefully get married someday. Meanwhile, there's a swanky coffee shop in Dallas that sells my paintings for me. In return they get ten percent of the profits. Plus, I refer customers to them."
"That's really neat! What's the shop called?"
"Cat's Corner. It's a neat shop, and they really do make good coffee. They make an amazing lavender white chocolate mocha."
"That sounds really interesting."
"Yeah, but it's good. You should try it sometime." Jules looked down at her hands and continued wiping dishes dry and putting them away. The silence stretched on uncomfortably for several minutes. She cleared her throat. "So, tell me about how you met Arabella. I've always wanted to know."
"She was a ballet dancer, and I was a rich kid with a taste for anything high class." Kevin sighed and shook his head slowly, summoning the forgotten memories. "I met her after a show one night and we hit it off pretty good. We dated for a few months before she found out she was pregnant, and I got mad when she wouldn't get an abortion. I'm so sorry, I know this is really hard for you to hear." He drew a shaky breath and turned to look at Jules. His eyes were melting with genuine regret. "I hope you know I'm not proud of who I was then."
Jules smiled gravely, wiping her towel across the front of the plate she held. "It's okay. I'd rather know and it hurt me a little than go on wondering about it. Besides, you're here now, and that says a lot."
"Thank you. Anyways, we broke up then. You know she was on drugs; that business is really hard on girls. They're under a lot of pressure to keep their weight down. Not to mention the fact that they exercise hard and rarely ever sleep. Arabella was practically starving, but she looked beautiful to me with her makeup on and her classy little dresses she'd wear. But I'm getting off track. We got into a big fight one night, over you, and it ended with me leaving." Kevin paused, leaning against the ledge of the sink. The lines around his mouth tightened and contracted, and his eyes deepened with genuine grief. He swiped restlessly at his forehead with the back of his soapy hand. It was as if he wished to wipe away the history behind his words. "I was drunk and upset and she was under the influence of whatever pill it was she was taking at the time. I never even saw a picture of you as a baby, Jules. I was gone a few months before you were born."
Jules dried her hands and hopped up to sit on the counter next to the sink. She picked up the glass of water she had left sitting there and took a sip from it before cradling it between her hands. "Did you ever see Arabella after that?"
"A few times." Kevin leaned up against the counter across from Jules. "You know she's still alive, right?"
The water glass slipped from her hands and shattered across the tile floor with a raucous crash. Jules gasped, and slowly lowered herself to the floor where she began to pick up wet shards of crystal clear glass with shaking fingers.
"Careful there." Kevin looked concerned. He pulled the trash bin closer and glanced around the room for a broom and dustpan. "Are you okay?"
Jules settled into her heels, raking in a shaky sigh. "I-I'm just a little surprised I guess. I always just supposed she died after I was born."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, really," she said, looking like she was not fine at all. "Where is she now?"
Kevin sighed. "She was somewhere in Arizona last I heard."
"I wonder why Grandad didn't tell me."
"I don't know," he shook his head. "That's something you'd have to ask him yourself."
CHAPTER 8: ADJUSTING
Let me know if the conversations are hard to follow. This was the hardest chapter to write so far. *nervious grin*
Hmmmm...
I'm enjoying this, Damaris. Now some of the backstory is being filled in. I'm wondering where all this will be going. :)

Thank you, James. :)

As always, more?
This is such a comfy story, if you know what I mean. I feel right at home with Duncan and Jules--and now Kevin. Looking forward to what happens next:)
There's just one place that I was wondering about. When Kevin describes what happened with dating and wanting an abortion, I think it might be even more descriptive to add maybe how he spoke. Or add some punctuation to make it more alive--not that it isn't already;)
And then again, you might just want to leave it up to the reader to decide the mood and the tones.
In reply to As always, more? by Libby
Thank you so much, Libby! I
Thank you so much, Libby! I always look forward to your comments. :)
Oooooh, very good suggestion. I definitely will look into editing to add some more emotion and description.
And it's getting way more complicated and involved than I anticipated!
I do agree with Libby, however. The backstory about Arabella and the big reveal about her still being alive feels kind of unemotional. Little descriptions in between sentences would go a LONG way :)
When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart.
Edited!

Water is essential to life on Earth, and recent and devastating droughts in Texas demonstrate that water conservation is essential to our survival. The Arid Garden showcases a range of plant species with low water and maintenance needs. Many of these agaves, aloes, and yuccas are native to the higher plateaus of northern and central Mexico, a reminder that political boundaries cannot divide our shared horticultural heritage. Dramatic, architectural forms and bright blooms make them a beautiful as well as water-wise choice for Houston gardens.
This evergreen succulent has yellow striped foliage and is native to Texas, Arizona, and Mexico. It will eventually produce a twenty-foot flower stalk that will attract hummingbirds.
This succulent agave comes from Mexico and has thick, triangular grayish-green leaves with smooth margins and a prominent terminal spine.
This South African evergreen succulent is pollution tolerant and attracts butterflies, bees, and birds. From midwinter to spring, it produces red flowers.

Q: Transformer: Number of turns om primary winding I'm researching electromagnetism for a guitaramp project. I would like to experiment with different homemade transformers.
Find myself stuck trying to get a grip on the effect of the number of turns on the primary winding in relation to the risk of a saturated core. One the one hand more turns imply more inductance according to Inductance (L) = number of turns (N) times magnetic flux(Wb)/current (I). On the other hand it is well known that decreasing the number of turns on primary will increase flux density and the risk of saturation. I guess it must be the relation between number of turns and current that gives the answer, but find it hard to find good explanations. Anyone with a good advice?

A:
I guess it must be the relation between number of turns and current
  that gives the answer

Correct - amps x turns is called magneto motive force and it's what drives magnetism and potential saturation. It's related to the magnetic field strength (H) by dividing MMF by the distance the flux path takes around the core so: -
$$\dfrac{MMF}{\ell_e} = H$$
And H is related to flux density (B) by the permeability of the core material: -
$$B = \mu\cdot H$$
So, too much flux density goes right back to having too many ampere turns.
For AC, the inductance of a transformer winding is proportional to turns squared so, if you double the turns you get 4 times more inductance and one-quarter the current for a given voltage/frequency. This generally means that more turns means less core saturation because although the turns might (say) double, the amps reduce to a quarter.
The picture below (hopefully and intuitively) explains how inductance is proportional to turns squared: -

Anyone with a good advice?

That's dependent on the reader!

A: For a voltage sourced transformer, which most are, I always use Vt=NAB. Vt is your voltage time area on the primary. N is your primary number of turns, A is the minimum cross section area of the core and B is your peak flux. Voltage-time area makes good sense for SMPS but a bit less so for 50/60 Hz transformers, but see below.
Any current source or more likley a choke calculation it's LI=NAB. All units are again in SI. Your L can be written as L=Al*N^2, so you can simplify here depending on if you know your inductance or Al-value. You can derrive Al down to u for the material too and core geometry if you want.
For any sine wave input transformer, you can use Urms=4.44fNAB.
Aim for 1 T for any laminated steel and most iron powder cores and 0.3 T for ferrite.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) related jobs are the fastest growing sector in our economy. To prepare our students for success in the 21st century workforce, we believe a robust curriculum emphasizing these fields and developing the skills of collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking is essential. STEAM helps to make learning more fun and engaging, not to mention provide students opportunities to use content knowledge and skills in ways that are practical and applicable to the real world just like they would if they were working on science or engineering projects in the field.
We also know that the value of STEAM is great when considering the kinds of jobs our future workforce will have the greatest need to fill. Georgetown University conducted a study on job growth and education requirements across the workforce through the year 2020. The study found that almost 5 million jobs will go unfilled because of skills gaps, particularly in the growing fields of healthcare and STEM. (Soule, Helen. "Why STEAM Is Great Policy for the Future of Education." P21, 31 Mar. 2016).

Home India-Australia Mohali ODI Series ODI Series:Mohali to host fourth ODI of India-Australia series starting next month
ODI Series:Mohali to host fourth ODI of India-Australia series starting next month
India-Australia, Mohali, ODI Series,
As Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule for an Australia tour of India starting next month, I S Bindra PCA Stadium, Mohali, was selected as the venue for the fourth One Day International (ODI) of the five-match series. The ODI will be a day-night match starting at 130 pm on March 10.
The stadium, which hosted its first ODI in 1993, will be hosting its 25th match on March 10. It will be the 15th time that the Indian team will be playing in an ODI at the stadium. With Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) building its new stadium in Mullanpur, which is set to host international matches from 2020, this will be one of the last few international matches to be played at the stadium.
R P Singla, honorary secretary of Punjab Cricket Association, said it's a mater of great pride that the I S Bindra PCA Stadium will host its 25th ODI match in its more than 25-year-long history. "As per the BCCI's rotation policy, we were due for an international match and the fact that it will be the 25th ODI match at the stadium will make this occasion extra special. The construction of the new stadium in Mullanpur has also been going on and it will be ready to host international matches from 2020. Before that, we hope to get some more matches at this stadium. We will soon form an organising committee for the match to be played on March 10 after consultation with Punjab government and the local authorities and I am sure it will be memorable moment for the cricket fans in the region," shared 65-year-old Singla.
Apart from 24 ODI matches, the I S Bindra PCA Stadium has so far hosted 13 Test matches and four T20s. The 27,000-capacity stadium had hosted an international match last in December 2017 when India faced Sri Lanka in the second match of the ODI series. The Indian team has scored 10 wins out of 15 ODIs at the stadium, including the 141-run victory over Sri Lanka during their last match in 2017.
With the Supreme Court order on issuing passes and not serving liquor at the stadium during the matches, PCA will have only 10 per cent quota of passes. "As per the honorable Supreme Court of India directions, only 10 per cent of total number of tickets will be complimentary passes, out of which the BCCI will also have its share. Rest of the tickets will be sold to general public. Also, no liquor will be served in any of the stands during the match as per the SC guidelines. Tickets will be sold through PCA counters and bank branches, apart from online," said Singla, a former Ranji Trophy player.
India has faced Australia four times in ODI's at the stadium since 1995. While India won by five runs against Australia in 1996, the remaining three ODI matches between the two teams have seen the guests defeating hosts with their last win coming in form of a four-wicket haul in 2013. The stadium currently has seven pitches and 2-3 pitches will be prepared for the match.

Well, it did need a reboot of my OSX host, and although it may have been a debugging tangent I ended up using PCnet-PCI II for my Windows virtual boxes instead of the fast one but... VirtualBox has finally made my tap/tun interface irrelevant. And not a moment too soon, as it was just getting on my nerves (though I did have it working).
the last one was a default, but the others were chosen after seeing how they got automatically assigned. And now all of them can see each other and I can finally get back to work.
Now that Oracle bought Sun, I wonder what will happen to the VirtualBox software? Will it be in the strategy?

Bluechip junior welterweight prospect Josh Taylor faces his toughest opponent to date on Saturday, June 23 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow. Former WBO junior welterweight title holder Viktor Postol, age 34, is the man charged the task of testing Taylor's mettle.
Taylor-Postol is a noteworthy crossroads matchup between one fighter on the rise, Taylor, and another, Postol, trying to maintain divisional relevancy. According to the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, both are among the top fighters in the junior welterweight division.
Is Josh Taylor the Real Deal?
Taylor, age 27, is well regarded in boxing circles and is seen by some as a future 140-pound world champion. With former undisputed and lineal junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford vacating his world titles to campaign at 147, and Mikey Garcia moving back down the scales to ply his trade as a lightweight titleholder, Taylor (12-0, 11 KOs) has some good space at 140 pounds to make his mark.
Taylor has limited professional experience, but he was an elite amatuer. Moreover, his handlers have pushed him up the prizefighting ranks ambitiously against some relatively stalwart opposition. In 2017, he became the first fighter to stop former lightweight titleholder Miguel Vazquez, and he was set to face veteran slugger Humberto Soto before the latter pulled out with an injury.
A southpaw, Taylor has fast hands, good power and he really seems to maintain balance when throwing combinations.
Can Viktor Postol Play the Spoiler Again?
Postol (29-1, 12 KOs) is an excellent boxer with good feet and limited power. He was a relative unknown to the world boxing scene until he shockingly knockout out Lucas Matthysse in 2015 for the WBC junior welterweight title.
Against Taylor, Postol will once again hope to play the role of spoiler. Postol is the type of fighter who appeals to matchmakers because he checks all the boxes of a promotable opponent. He's a competent professional who knows what he's doing in the ring. He has an excellent record and boasts solid credentials. But he doesn't carry enough dynamic one-punch power to win a fighter via lucky punch.
Postol is incredibly crafty and has shown a proclivity to being a real force on fight night so long as he's not facing a huge talent deficit. Against the likes of a one-dimensional Matthysse, Postol is good enough to play the spoiler. But against an elite level talent like Crawford, who handed Postol his first professional loss in the very next fight? Postol simply doesn't enough speed or power to cope.
According to bookmaker Karamba, Taylor is a significant favorite heading into the fight at -2000. 888sport lists Taylor at -909, so depending on how you think the fight will playout, you might be able to shop around for what you want.
In general, bookmakers tend to believe high-value prospects with elite level industry leaders behind them (like Taylor has in manager and promoter Barry McGuigan) know what they're doing when making crossroads fights like this one. Moreover, the bout will be fought in Glasgow, so Taylor should also enjoy some boisterous support from the crowd, and judges are notorious for getting caught up in home crowd atmospheres.
Postol is +675 with Karamba and +575 with 888sport. From a purely boxing betting perspective, he probably won't be able to match Taylor's speed and power. While his win over Matthysse proved how capable a fighter he can be in certain circumstances, his dismantling at the hands of Crawford in the very next fight lends credence to the idea that he's a good title contender but not really an elite level talent.
If you're looking for a value play, and you think Taylor might not be ready for a fighter as crafty as Postol, 888sport will let you lay down on the draw at +2200. It's not outside the realm of possibility that Postol outboxes Taylor over 12 rounds.
If that's the case, picking the draw isn't a bad option because history suggests judges sway toward the money fighter at home (Taylor), so even if Postol wins 7 or 8 rounds, the best he might be able to get out of town with would a draw.

The language school is located in the vibrant Schöneberg district, in the heart of the German capital. Many of Berlin's main attractions are found nearby, as well as excellent public transport connections and a huge selection of cool shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. Students can also make use of a cafeteria: an ideal place to meet up with others and practise the language. With an average of 10 people per class, Alpadia Berlin is known for its family feel and personal atmosphere, where every student benefits from individual attention.
Berlin has an atmosphere unlike any other European city, which makes it the perfect choice for learning German during a long-term stay! Dive into the sights and sounds of the city with a general or intensive German course, all while living in full immersion and practising your German in the real world. A great way to finish your time abroad is with an exam prep course, as adding a Goethe Zertifikat or TELC certification to your CV is a fantastic asset!
Hello! My name is Sergi Yagüe. I wanted to improve my German (because I am currently studying tourism) and I hence got in contact with the ESL agency in Barcelona. I went there to get some information and finally booked a one-month course and accommodation in Berlin.
My stay went perfectly: the school is right next to the apartment where I was staying and very close to downtown. I loved the shared apartment: my room was quite big and the owner was very nice. We often had meals together and I even took part in the family activities! I also enjoyed life with the other students living in the house.
The courses are very dynamic and entertaining and the teachers are nice. I highly recommend this school!
Alpadia is well located, close to many cosy restaurants, and the area is beautiful. Besides, the school offers many activities and outings every week, which allows you to meet more people and further discover the city. For me, Berlin means: crazy evenings, art galleries and black & white pictures taken from a photo booth… Viel Spass!
What can be best for studying German than to go to Berlin? It's a very dynamic city and you can do many things at low cost. This trip is the best experience of my life. Living alone in a city where you don't speak the language, and having to manage on your own (even if the school is here to help you in case of a problem), was a real adventure for me. The school provided us with very good basis in German but it is mostly by going out and meeting people that I made progress. Berlin has lost nothing of its alternative side and all the music and art fans will be more than satisfied with what it has to offer. An unforgettable trip!
With an excellent network of carefully selected host families, the school organises homestays for students. The hosts generally live around 30 minutes from the course centre and offer half-board or breakfast only. Staying in a single room, you will experience authentic Berlin life with locals, while enjoying some home comforts.
Usually called a WG (Wohngemeinschaft), this is a very popular way for students and twenty-somethings to live in Germany. If you are looking for more independence, staying with one or several German people in the very heart of Berlin could be perfect for you. Sleeping in a single room, you will share the bathroom and kitchen with your flatmates. This kind of accommodation encourages you to discover Berlin on your own terms.
These shared apartments are situated in Berlin Mitte, which, as its name suggests, is right in the middle of Berlin. Surrounded by restaurants, cafés and shops, it is around 20 minutes by bus from the language school and close to the main attractions: Brandenburg Gate, the Tiergarten and Potsdamer Platz are less than 10 minutes' walk away. You will stay in a single or twin room (only for students travelling together) in an apartment for 4 or 5 people, with free Wi-Fi. In each room, there's a desk and a wardrobe. You will share the living room with a TV, the bathroom, the kitchen and the washing machine with your flatmates.
This comfortable, modern residence is located in Moabit, a central Berlin neighbourhood bordered by the Spree River and various canals near the Tiergarten. You'll feel right at home in your en suite single room with its own kitchenette. In your room, you'll find free bed sheets and towels, plus a desk, wardrobe, chair and lamp. The building boasts free Wi-Fi throughout, a rooftop terrace, covered bicycle parking, laundry facilities and a large common area with a TV and shared kitchen. School is just a 25-minute bus ride away!
Our residences are fully furnished apartments and located in the very heart of Berlin, between Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz. Immediately adjacent to your apartment you will find Unter den Linden, Pariser Platz, the Holocaust memorial and the government district. Many tourist attractions and cultural sites are easily to reach from this central location with good connections to public transport U-Bahn, S-Bahn, bus. Restaurants and bars, supermarkets, cafés, bakeries, various shops and boutiques are available in the immediate neighborhood.
Our Berlin language school organises outings and guided tours to help you discover one of Europe's most exciting cities through its language and culture. In a city famous for art and music, something new awaits every day of the year, including exhibitions, concerts and legendary nightclubs. Nearby Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg are among the coolest urban districts in Europe at the moment, with superb street art and a creative energy in the air. The green spaces, parks and urban beaches are perfect for relaxing after class or meeting up with friends. Weekends offer the opportunity to discover cities such as Dresden, Leipzig or even Prague.

A Second Wave
No Man Walks Alone recently convinced Stephan Schneider to re-release his Merino Coat,...
No Man Walks Alone recently convinced Stephan Schneider to re-release his Merino Coat, which was originally part of his FW11 Frozen Waves collection. I've been wanting one for years. It's the stuff of legends, and heavily sought after by style enthusiasts, but frustratingly hard to find.
Schneider, for those unfamiliar, is a Belgian designer with a strong background in textiles, and works not only as a designer for his own label, but also as a professor at one of the fine arts universities in Berlin. His work is a breath of fresh air in men's fashion, which nowadays seems to operate on two polar ends. There's the heavy reliance on traditionalism and archival material on the one hand (e.g. traditional tailoring and old-timey workwear), and dark colors and aggressive silhouettes on the other (e.g. gothninja and its increasing number of derivatives).
Schneider's work is different. It has a subtle masculinity to it, with its looser cuts, rich fabrics, and warm uses of color. There's admittedly nothing high-concept here — and many of the pieces are in some ways quite simple — but there's always an element of design to keep one amused. Indeed, for the kind of guy who wants something a little different and contemporary, but doesn't want to get too abstract, much of Schneider's work fits the bill.
Take this coat, for example. It's a single-breasted topcoat with a knitted scarf liner. The liner and its accompanying hood can be kept in for a more causal and interesting look, and the hood can be propped up slightly to achieve the effect you see at the top of this post. For a more professional (or at least conservative) style, you can remove the hood and liner and use this piece as a simple topcoat.
No Man Walks Alone was able to get Schneider to reissue the coat in three new color combinations: a charcoal nailhead body with a dark charcoal liner; a deep green body with a cream liner; and a much heavier coat made with a grey body and dark charcoal liner. Most of the stock is sold out, save for a few pieces in green, but some coats may get returned as people try to figure out their sizes. This one isn't going back, however. It fits perfectly, and I'm already looking forward to when the weather gets cold enough for me to wear it.

Captain is a rank in various fire services.

In most American and Canadian fire services, a captain ranks above a lieutenant and below a battalion chief, and therefore two grades above a regular firefighter. This varies, though, between departments – In the Los Angeles County Fire Department, for example, engineer is the next lowest rank below captain.

A captain is typically in charge of a fire company, a group of firefighters who are assigned to the same fire apparatus. The captain is responsible for the welfare and performance of the company's personnel and the maintenance of the apparatus. In a single-apparatus fire station, the captain is also the overall manager of the station. Fire departments typically arrange the shifts so that a captain can be present at most emergencies. Besides those who work at fire stations, captains are employed in other roles such as managing training.

The rank of captain does not always have a direct equivalent in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries outside of Canada. These fire services are more often organized around a "watch". Whereas a company is a group of firefighters who work different shifts on the same apparatus, a watch is a group of firefighters who work the same shift on more than one apparatus. Like a captain in American and Canadian fire departments, the watch manager is two grades above a regular firefighter.

In the New Zealand Fire Service in the early 1980s, a captain was in charge of a station. The NZFS has now moved to senior station officer and station officer as station management ranks. The person in charge of a fire brigade is the chief fire officer, and captain is no longer used.

Halitosis (bad breath) is a common condition triggered by Sulphur-producing bacteria that live within the top of the tongue and in the neck. The treatment for halitosis will depend on the underlying cause. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, dry-mouth, dental infections and nasal or sinus infections can cause bad breath. Good oral hygiene, including brushing flossing and tongue cleaning, is important. Other treatments may include mouthwashes, nasal spray or antibiotics.
Foods – such as onions, garlic clove or cauliflower, which generate certain odours. However, these results are just short-lived.
What are the treatments of halitosis?
There is no single treatment for halitosis. The treatment will depend on what is causing the problem. Avoiding dehydration and good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, are important. Some mouthwashes, lozenges and toothpastes can assist in fighting halitosis.
Gentle but effective tongue cleaning may also be required. A variety of tongue brushes and scrapers have been produced in recent years. The tongue should be brushed in a gentle but thorough manner, from the back towards the front of the tongue. Keep in mind that the hardest to reach portion in the back smells the worst.
People with chronic sinusitis may find the regular use of a saline nasal spray helpful. A course of an antibiotic, effective against anaerobic bacteria (such as metronidazole, to reduce the overgrowth of sulfur-producing bacteria), may also help. Speak to your dentist near you, doctor or chemist to identify the cause of your halitosis and to find the most effective treatment for you.
We suggest to visit dentist near your place if you are observing symptoms.

Re: What are the darbuka tones?
Hi James, I'm new to this kind of stuff too, but I have read a thing or two about darbukas so, here's what I can tell you: there are basically 3 main tones, the TEK, KA and DOUM. You simply combine these three and create music (or rhythms, better said).
Yep, basically those are it, Guyman!
Combine them and you get music! Sure it looks kinda complicated, you'd have to correctly position your fingers and your hands on the instrument, but it's not that difficult once you get the hang of it.
Not difficult, IF you get the hand of it!
I almost gave up on learning how to play the darbuka a while ago, but slowly I got used to it. I never played an instrument before so... yeah it was a challenge!
Don't worry at all mate, it's the best place to be at since it's really friendly for newbies like you and another thing is that we should never be shy with learning. I think our dear admin has provided the best video, so that will help you understand it so much easier.

Most security breaches involve human error
Whenever I speak publicly, I always talk about how information technology and hacking are the "sizzle" that helps create the headline news for data-breach events.
However, this week's news that 31 world leaders, including President Obama – who had their personal information breached, including name, date of birth and passport number – should remind employers and employees that human error is a significant factor in data breach events. In this case, an Australia immigration service employee mistakenly e-mailed the sensitive information of the above-mentioned world leaders days before November's G-20 summit in Brisbane, Australia. However, the Australian immigration department did not report the breach to the world leaders even though it was a clear violation of the privacy laws of three of the affected countries, including the U.K., France and Germany, all of which require mandatory notification for data breach victims.
Well it gets worse. In IBM's 2014 Cyber Security Intelligence Index, "95 percent of all security incidents involve human error." According to the IBM's report, "many of these are successful security attacks from external attackers who prey on human weakness in order to lure insiders within organizations to unwittingly provide them with access to sensitive information." In January, Vormetirc, a data security firm, released its 2015 Insider Threat Report and found that 93 percent of U.S.-based organizations surveyed believed that they were vulnerable to insider threats.
The Vormetric survey received responses from more than 800 organizations worldwide. I read with great interest the following four highlights:
59 percent of U.S. respondents believed privileged users posed a threat to their organization.
46 percent named contractors and service providers as a risk to their organization.
43 percent said that business partners were a threat.
59 percent agree that most information technology security threats from insiders are the result of innocent mistakes.
I believe businesses, especially small- to medium-size businesses, need to understand that current and former employees, vendors and even customers are a potential threat to a future data breach event, whether it is an accidental release of information or an act of malicious intent. For the purpose of transparency, half of my company is in the ID theft and data breach risk management business and the other half is in the background screening and behavioral testing business. My colleague Jim Collins, a longtime background screening expert, said that "as per industry best practices, businesses should not underestimate the insider threat."
Collins said, "While most organizations require background checks at the time of employment, very few employers conduct regular screening of their employees, such as annual background checks." This means that longtime employees who have access to the most sensitive personal, company and proprietary information could be a threat based on "unknown changes in that employee's personal and professional life," Collins said. The Vormetric threat report said that "almost half of the U.S. organizations polled experienced a data breach or failed a compliance audit in the past year – which tells us the situation has probably gotten more complicated."
Mark's Most Important: It doesn't take the president or world leaders to recognize that employees — or even you — can make a mistake in data management and protection. Focus on increased employee education on information security.

I'm also curious about this.. I've recently purchased DVBLink for my QNAP TVS-EC880, and transcoding an HD stream uses about 33% CPU (I think top is showing 33% of a single core).
How can I tell if the ffmpeg process is leveraging hardware acceleration for transcoding?
I'm also interested in that - qnap ts-253pro. Transcoding HD streams stutters - the atom CPU is not fast enough for software only transcoding.

Ananke is in many ways Earth-like, the sun is a similar brightness, the planet is a similar distance from it, and gravity is much the same. But in other ways it is very different, ammonia is far more common than water here and the climate consistently cold. However, human explorers from Earth could not help but feel nostalgic here, as the backboned animals of Anankhe possess four muscular legs, and indeed converge on Earth animals in many ways. The atmosphere here is mostly composed of hydrogen, being poor in other kinds of gases, most life-forms here respire using hydrogen. The efficiency of the breathing of Anankean vertebrates is paradoxical, and it is not completely known how they maintain high energy levels from their theoretically less reactive respiration.
Anankean biochemistry is very different from Earth; life originated here based on ammonia, far more common on this planet than water. The blood and sap used to carry nutrients and dissolved gases, the structural components like stems, claws and bones, are all formed from Ammonia-based substances.
The plants here are green like on Earth, and at first resemble succulents and cacti in shape, but have a rubbery or leathery outer skin. Ground cover resembles fine samphires and tiny aloes, some tree-like plants resemble turgid saguaros and prickly pear (with and without thorns), but of course many Anankean plant shapes resemble nothing found on Earth. Gelatinous sap courses through peristaltic tubular innards. Many of the plants here can be seen pulsing and quivering, contracting or swelling, as they possess an anatomy that allows them to move, much more noticeably than earth plants. Most only use this rudimentary musculature to face the sun better or to pump their sap, but some are able to shy away in response to herbivores, or even push defensively towards browsers, thorns bared.
Anankean vertebrates resemble Earth tetrapods in some ways, having four legs and snapping beak-like jaws, but in other ways they are quite different. Despite living on a cold planet, their ammonia biochemistry means they do not feel the cold like we would there. They do however have forms of insulation, and their own version of warm-blooded endothermy, where chilled blood is recirculated past the warmer blood of the body core and active muscles, in a similar way to a shark or tuna. Insulation against the worst cold is provided by tiny bubble-shaped pockets of air studded under the skin in a dense layer. Eyes are analogous to the compound eyes found in Earth arthropods, and their sense of smell is very keen, because their 4 lungs are lined with chemoreceptors to taste the air they breathe. Their bones are fairly dense like most mammals, and anchor powerful muscles, but each pair of limbs has its own hip, not just the hind legs. Most vertebrates reproduce by laying rubbery-shelled eggs which contain well-developed young. Anankean animals are mute, but are able to hear using a broad, tympanum-like membrane in the roof of the mouth, during feeding most herbivores will pause periodically to listen for danger, mouth agape.
Bodies of liquid ammonia play host to the primitive fish-like, bony ancestors of the land-dwelling vertebrates. Most invertebrates here are segmented and wormlike, burrowing in the soil or chewing through the insides of plants, some are plated with hard cuticles, others are soft-skinned. Some have developed pseudopodia and become caterpillar-eque crawlers, commonly eaten by small vertebrates. As with all other life here, they are ammonia based.
Ananke was named by its human colonists after the classical Greek spirit of inevitability, for earthlings only thought it inevitable to eventually find creatures with 4 legs, like them.
The 6 meter tall xenoraffe became the favourite of Earth colonists almost right away; this tall, green-spotted high-browser put many in mind of a cartoon giraffe. A lanky creature, it feeds mainly on the uppermost branches and fruiting bodies of the succulent-like vascular plants that make up the open forests around the temperate equator. It will bite off large clumps of growth with its cropping beak, but also has a sucking tubular tongue that allow it to extract gelatinous plant juices when it bites open a larger stem or bough. A trail of bitten off and deflated treetops is a sure sign a xenoraffe is about.
At 30 centimeters long, these animals are comparable in size and ecology to a brown rat on Earth. They feed mainly by gnawing off portions of the tough rubbery bark or stems of larger plants, as well as their reproductive spore-pods that fall to the ground. Some spores will make it through its digestion unscathed and be passed as faeces to grow anew; after all it's only the tough nutritious husk and flesh that the xenorat is hungry for. Xenorats will also eat small invertebrates and the eggs of other vertebrates. All kinds of xenorat have keen vision, but the crab-eyed kind possesses the best vision of all, able to swivel the eyes to scan for danger.
At 8 meters long, the ketos is another creature which strongly recalls creatures from Earth, in this case, from the Mesozoic. Ketos share a similar shape to some of the marine reptiles of the dinosaur age, and may have a broadly similar lifestyle. Living mainly in shallow, productive oceans around the temperate equator, they feed entirely on other marine vertebrates, from "fish" to each other. Ketos produce a single large egg that hatches internally to produce a well-developed "pup".
Leatherbirds are a common flying creature throughout most Anankean continents, being omnivorous opportunists much like ravens. Indeed, leatherbirds show a keen intelligence that is higher than any other alien species, just like the canny raven of Earth. They have "leather" in their name because their bare skin is usually a dark brown or black, to absorb and conserve heat in the cold air, so high is their metabolism. As with most alien "birds" their leg configuration is not as efficient as Earth birds, and they prefer to roost in trees.
At 3.5 meters long, this creature is one of Ananke's apex predators, rivalled only by some heavy southern Xeno-bears. Inhabiting areas from the equator northward, helmet-panthers are adept leapers, but are not long distance pursuers, so most often they ambush their prey. The fiercely serrated beak-like jaws are perfect for tearing large chunks from vital areas of their prey. Laying one or 2 large eggs at a time, they exhibit a high degree of parental care, regurgitating food for their cubs.


Here is the complete walkthrough guide for Veil of Crows, a strategy, RPG, violent, medieval gore game for PC. Veil of crows is a sandbox style real-time strategy game set in a chaotic medieval world. From violent, and overtly bloody battles, to completely destructible castles, RPG style hero development, and meaningful interactions with other factions.


It is a plan that challenges people to give systematically and purposefully to world evangelization.
The Faith Promise Plan is in complete harmony with God's plan -forming a purpose and then giving according to that purpose (II Corinthians 9:7).
It ties missionary giving in with the local church and channels the giving through the church.
It challenges every member to participate - from the very youngest to the oldest.
This plan gives a concrete goal to the church Missions Conference and one in which all are challenged to have a distinct part.
It guides the church in its committal to Missionary support and obligation, knowing the approximate amount of money it will receive for missions during the year.
It confines the financial appeal to an annual event, and hence eliminates the need for constant appeals for missionary offerings.
