Everyone goes into certain movies with certain expectations. This is especially true for franchises. The Friday the 13th series has some entries that are unjustly maligned simply because what people want to see is the iconic monster in the hockey mask. Viewers latch onto those movies that give them the things they expect; the things that they love. For die-hard fans that own each movie in each franchise, going through the entries you love doesn't take much time. Then you're left with nothing but the films you never really cared for. Sometimes this is an act of self-torture, but other times you begin to see things in a new light. Here are some entries in popular franchises that might have put people off on an initial viewing, but only get better over time.
Candyman was one of the big surprise horror hits of the early 90's. It was smart, sophisticated and kept the viewer guessing from beginning to end. Even when the film is over, it's tough to tell what was real and what was not. Farewell to the Flesh is a much more straightforward movie, which was a let down for a lot of people. It confirms that the Candyman was real and it gives him a rich and elaborate backstory, but that doesn't make it bad. Seeing it immediately after the first one, it can be jarring to see the story dealt with in such an overtly supernatural matter. But it's a solid horror picture and even if it's more of a ghost story than the first, it's at least a pretty good ghost story. If you actually want a bad Candyman movie, feel free to check out Candyman 3: Day of the Dead which was a complete rehash of this one with about a quarter of the budget.
Virtually every Friday the 13th fan was guilty of hating this movie at one point and many still do. The first time you watch it, you're naturally expecting Jason. There's no real hint given that Jason may not be the killer this time around, so there's no reason to expect it. When the viewer thinks they already know who the killer is, that takes all the joy out of watching to try and figure out who might actually be the one doing the slashing. It's like Scooby Doo meets Friday the 13th. Everything plays out like a traditional spooky entry and then the mask comes off at the end and it's not Jason, it's a disgruntled paramedic. So there was a backlash and Jason was understandably brought back in the next entry. If you haven't warmed up to this one after that initial disappointment, you're missing out. Aside from some of the best kills of the whole series, A New Beginning also boasts some of the most interesting side characters. Sure, it might be a dirtier, sleazier entry but it excels as such.
Nightmare, Part 2, has finally begun to develop a fan base and is being viewed on its own merits instead of its deviations from the original, so we don't really need to make a case for that one. But Freddy's Dead on the other hand…at first glance is a little harder to defend The movie doesn't have the wealth of subtext that Nightmare 2 has. With Freddy's Dead, what you see is pretty much what you get. The transition from straight horror to absurdist comedy was not an easy one for fans of the franchise and many still wish it was a transition that had never been made. At some point, though, there comes a time to accept the way things went and just go with it. Freddy's Dead is not a great movie, but it is a thoroughly entertaining film and it does have great moments. It's the most slapstick out of all the sequels but the flashback scenes with Englund as pre-burnt Freddy are his among his scariest moments in the entire saga. It handles its tone much better than Dream Child, in which there was a depressing, downbeat mood throughout the whole thing and wisecracking Freddy felt out of place in his own movie. This time, everything is offbeat and weird. This is an Elm Street film that runs wild doing whatever the hell it wants. Like it or hate it, you have to admire it in some ways. On top of all that, there are some truly creative kills.
Return of the Living Dead 3 is a different movie from Return of the Living Dead in every way, shape and form. It's serious where that was comedic, heartfelt where that was nihilistic and a love story where that was, well, not. It doesn't seem like a movie that should work, especially when the first worked so well. Yet Return of the Living Dead 3 easily stands beside Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead and Peter Jackson's Dead Alive as one of the best horror movies of the 1990's. This is a splatter punk story of star-crossed lovers made for the body mod generation. The main zombie here is Julie, who acts perfectly normal at first. But as she gets hungrier, she resorts to sadomasochism to try and keep her cannibalistic urges at bay. Eventually she turns herself into something that should have become a horror icon. Beautiful and frightening at the same time, Julie is a zombie with heavy echoes of Hellraiser. What really impresses about this sequel is that it is able to tell a brand new story without contradicting the rules of the first two movies. It might be entirely different, but it exists in the same universe.
It's hard to imagine there was a fan of the first two Halloween movies that liked—or at least got—Season of the Witch the first time they ever saw it. I distinctly remember renting the film and waiting the entire time for Michael Myers to show up. Even though the plot was completely different, even though there was an ad for Halloween playing on TV at one point, I didn't expect there to be an entry in the series without so much as a cameo appearance by the man himself. I was so focused on waiting for Michael to show up that I didn't really watch it, and I think that happened to a lot of people with this one. Ultimately, it's a shame. Halloween III is an inventive, atmospheric story. It is wholly enriched in the holiday while offering up a brand new plot that could not be more different than what had come before. The scares in Season of the Witch are not of the stalk-and-slash variety. Instead, this one is focused on supernatural and even psychological horror. The biggest example of its effectiveness is also its most iconic scene, in which little Buddy Kupfer demonstrates what Silver Shamrock novelties has planned for the children all around the world. Even if it has nothing to do with the rest of the series, the image of those bugs and snakes crawling out of that dilapidated mask is one of the most haunting in the Halloween legacy.

Armed Robbery Suspect Killed in Police-Involved Shooting in SW Miami-Dade
Published November 17, 2015 • Updated on November 18, 2015 at 3:22 pm
An armed robbery suspect was killed in a police-involved shooting in southwest Miami-Dade Tuesday morning, officials said.
Miami-Dade Police officials said the armed robbery occurred at a Wendy's restaurant at South Dixie Highway and Southwest 211th Street.
Surveillance video shows the gunman forcing an employee to a back room to open a safe. Once inside, the victim is seen pulling piles of cash out, and putting his hands up, appearing to ask for mercy.

But the gunman wanted more, forcing the victim to fish out more money he could stuff in his jacket.
The suspect then fled the restaurant and officers caught up to him in a residential area at Southwest 127th Avenue just south of Southwest 206th Street, where the shooting happened around 9:20 a.m.
"Heads up. He just pulled out a gun. He has a gun in his hand, units seek some cover," one officer said over his radio.
Police said two officers were involved with shooting the suspect, who was killed at the scene.
"There were two officers involved and we are trying to confirm who exactly shot their weapon and exactly how many shots were fired," Miami-Dade Police Det. Marjorie Eloy said. "A confrontation ensued and the officers were forced to shoot the subject."
Police later identified the suspect as 28-year-old Yohans Leon of Miami.
Aerial footage of the scene showed what appears to be a body covered by a yellow tarp with a black handgun lying nearby in the roadway. Police tape was seen blocking off a section of the road near a home.
Officials said the suspect was armed but they didn't say whether he fired his weapon. They said the officers pulled the trigger because they feared for their lives.
Neighbor Henry Rodriguez said he saw medics respond to the scene.
"They went with a stretcher down to the canal and then they came back with the stretcher empty and I figured out there was something serious and then one of the detectives came down with a yellow tarp," he said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting.
This is the third time in four days a Miami-Dade Police officer has shot and killed a suspect.

Q: Are initial mass functions summable? I tried to sum up two weight ranges of the IMF which wouldn't not work so my question is, if I'm doing something wrong.
Let's say my weight ranges are $\left[X M_{\mbox{sun}}, Y M_{\mbox{sun}}\right)$ and $\left[Y M_{\mbox{sun}}, Z M_{\mbox{sun}}\right)$.
For both ranges the number of stars in a particular space are
$\xi_{[X,Y)} = \xi_0 X^{-\alpha}\left(Y-X\right)$ and
$\xi_{[Y,Z)} = \xi_0 Y^{-\alpha}\left(Z-Y\right)$
which should sum up to
$\xi_{[X,Z)} = \xi_0 X^{-\alpha}\left(Z-X\right)$
but obviously
$\xi_0 X^{-\alpha}\left(Y-X\right) + \xi_0 Y^{-\alpha}\left(Z-Y\right) \neq \xi_0 X^{-\alpha}\left(Z-X\right)$ as
$X^{-\alpha}\left(Y-X\right) + Y^{-\alpha}\left(Z-Y\right) \neq X^{-\alpha}\left(Z-X\right)$
$X^{-\alpha} Y + Y^{-\alpha}\left(Z-Y\right) \neq X^{-\alpha}Z$
$Y^{-\alpha}\left(Z-Y\right) \neq X^{-\alpha}\cdot \left(Z-Y\right)$
$Y^{-\alpha} \neq X^{-\alpha}$ (if $Y \neq X$)

A: This is an integral, the number of stars of mass between $XM_{SUN}$ and $YM_{SUN}$ is :
$N(XM_{SUN} \to YM_{SUN}) = \int_{XM_{SUN}}^{YM_{SUN}} \xi_0 (\frac{m}{M_{SUN}})^{-\alpha} \frac{dm}{M_{SUN}} = \int_X^Y \xi_0 (m')^{-\alpha} dm'$
So, it is clear that, with the additive properties of the integral, we have :
$N(XM_{SUN} \to ZM_{SUN}) = N(XM_{SUN} \to YM_{SUN}) + N(YM_{SUN} \to ZM_{SUN})$

How to Make ica file prompt for username and password.
I saved a link from internal webpage, the link is an ica file. When I run the ica file it prompts me to enter username and password which is good.
any help on this issue.?
If the user is authenticated already with receiver (from previous session or SSOn) the user is not prompted for credentials.
What if you take the .ICA file from PC1 to PC2?
Check the ICA file you downloaded, and verify that the username/password entries in the INI are either empty, or non-existent.
Also, verify if the Citrix single signon service is running on both systems? My guess is that the first PC doesn't have it running and the second one does. If that is the case, then we need to look at what your ultimate goal is for this? You could potentially modify your application to always require a login, which should force it to always prompt for credentials.
if SSO is enabled.. where can I disable it ?
If not, you can use SysInternal's autoruns to locate it and stop wherever it is starting from.
Now.. ideally, I would reinstall the client with the command line and make sure you do *not* enable SingleSignon, and then you should be good to go. https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/receiver/windows/current-release/install/cfg-command-line.html. That will be your cleanest option..
Re-installing Citrix Receiver has fixed the issue.

This is why I carry a gun
How a shocking murder led to a choice — and a secret community
Pamela is founder of the Facebook group Massachusetts Women Gun Owners.
Based on my job, education, and appearance — I'm a social worker, living in the Massachusetts suburbs — people often assume I'm anti-gun. They feel free to talk disparagingly about gun owners in front of me.
I tell them that most people would be surprised to learn how many of their friends and neighbors quietly own firearms. Including me.
I grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts. There were no guns in my house. I had uncles who hunted, but I never saw their guns. And I didn't think about firing a gun myself until I joined the Air Force in 2002.
I was just out of high school, had a strong desire to serve my country, and wanted to travel and figure out what to do with my life. I deployed in 2006 and 2007 to Iraq and Afghanistan, working in Security Forces — also known as Military Police — and was trained on a number of firearms. When I was on active duty, I carried a gun at all times.
When I returned to civilian life, I got a license to carry, but I wasn't interested in carrying every day. Then someone who lives near me was murdered in the middle of day, while out for a run — sexually assaulted, her body burned. She was minding her own business, not doing anything wrong or dangerous. It made me realize that I'm responsible for my own safety. I can't rely on anyone else. And even when I think I'm in a safe place, doing routine things, I might not be safe.
I started the Facebook group Massachusetts Women Gun Owners eight days after the murder. Now, it's a networking group with 803 members, composed of women of all ages, from younger women who are hoping to get their license to carry in the near future to grandmothers. We have women from all different career fields; librarians, real estate agents, teachers, law enforcement officers, hairdressers. We welcome people of any political affiliation. We do not talk politics, at all. But we try to keep our membership anonymous, to protect our families. We don't want anyone with bad intent to know that we might have expensive guns in our home.
Anti-gun people don't understand us. We want to be safe, like everybody else. We want our children to be safe. We carry firearms to do that.
The women in our group exchange recommendations, advice, and information about educational events. We talk about safe and effective options for women to carry daily: There are corsets, belly bands, and other holsters made for different locations on your body. Some attach to your bra; some go on your belt.
Now I hold a Massachusetts concealed carry permit and carry a small or mid-sized pistol for self-protection. I know the chances of ever needing to use it are incredibly low, almost non-existent. Carrying it is like having liability insurance. Except that insurance protects your assets. I'm doing this to protect my life.
It's also to protect my son, who is now one year old. Of course, I'm concerned about his safety with a gun nearby. We keep our firearms locked and stored appropriately. When my gun is out of the safe, I keep it on my person in a holster. If I use a safe holster that covers the trigger, the chance of an accident is essentially zero: A properly functioning firearm can never fire without the trigger being pulled.
If I were wearing my gun and my son went to reach for it, I'd say, 'No, don't touch it, it's not safe,' and redirect him. As he grows, I'll continue to talk with him about safety — not just around firearms but also knives, cleaning products, pets, anything potentially dangerous. This, to me, is the key to gun safety: taking precautions, following rules, and talking about the risks.
Of course, I'm disturbed by school shootings and urban violence. Something needs to be done. But what? A ban on guns — even certain types of guns — won't solve the underlying problems. It's a kneejerk reaction that prevents us from having meaningful conversations about the real issues, such as lack of parental involvement, teaching of morals, and causal influences that we aren't aware of. And it would only take guns away from law-abiding people who use them to protect themselves.
I'm open to conversations about reasonable gun laws — though I also know that many of the laws we already have in place aren't being enforced. I know that people convicted of gun crimes often receive lenient punishments. And I know that people who commit illegal acts often don't care about laws, background checks, or restrictions. The Gun Owners Action League chronicles this on its Facebook page with the hash tag #MACourtFail.
The problem isn't the weapons; it's the people. Knives are the most common method of attack outside the United States. The outcomes are horrible. Huge numbers of people are still injured and killed in single incidents. Someone with intent to harm others will find a way.
This is what I tell my neighbors who assume I'm anti-gun. I try to change their perceptions, give them factual information, and counter any misinformation they may have heard or read. I find that if you don't push your beliefs on them, it's helpful. I keep emotions out of it. You can't overwhelm someone with too much information. They won't hear it at all and will likely become defensive, in my opinion, if you try to throw too much at them.
And yet gun owners are often demonized. Anti-gun people don't understand us. We want to be safe, like everybody else. We want our children to be safe. We carry firearms to do that.
Most of us train regularly. We practice. We follow gun laws. We don't put ourselves in harm's way or think we're somehow safer with a firearm. We avoid dangerous situations more often because we don't want to fire our weapons.
I'd never want to take someone's life to protect my own. I do everything I can to avoid confrontation. But if I thought my life was in danger, I would do whatever I needed to do to become safe. Including using my firearm.
As told to Kara Baskin.

Edited by Margaret Anderson. 383 pp. $10. All published by Horizon Press, New York. now classic, pieces by Joyce, Eliot, Yeats, Pound, Hemingway, Stevens, Williams, Anderson, Stein, Ford, Hart Crane, etc., etc., that any young person now accustomed to seeing such works together only in those hard business deals known as college anthologies must be doubly astonish ed to learn that the subscription list of The Little Review was smaller than what is now a fair‐sized class at Berkeley, that the editor was fined by a New York court for serializing "Ulysses," that she was gladly given all these beautiful works for nothing at a time when some of them could not be published elsewhere.
The handsome and spirited editor, Margaret Anderson of Indianapolis, had founded the magazine on nothing but her desire for "conversation" with "the best creative opinion" of her time, by, which she meant people at least as spirited as herself. These conversations brought out of hiding many of the treasures that now make up college courses in modern lit. The anthology now issued contains more than 150 selections.
Miss Anderson is a talker, not a writer. The auto‐biography that was begun after the death of The Little Review is "My Thirty Years War," then went on with "The Fiery Foun tains" to record her private life in France up to 1950, now takes us up to 1969 in "The Strange Necessity." It is a rambling but always highly charged, fascinatingly feminine mon ologue, rocking with the most in tensely personal vibrations, that tells us a. good deal more about Margaret Anderson than about the extremely gifted people she met and published. The trilogy is unnecessarily extended, but as a personal document it is not boring. After "My Thirty Years War," the work has little to do with literary history but becomes wholly the re port of Margaret Anderson's effort to find in personal relationships the originality and depth that she looked for in the arts—especially in music.
Margaret Anderson's life, as told by Margaret Anderson, is the all‐too authentic example of that now un believable belief in "life as a work of art" that was once believed in by connoisseurs, dilettantes, epicures at the great feast of art provided by other people. These were also people who were usually never distracted by children, anxieties about money, political despotism, racial persecution and those threatening noises and smells that we now lump together as "the environment." "Life as a work of art" was nevertheless a real con viction to certain extremely, sensitive and unusual people, essentially fem inine, for whom personal love, "per fect taste" and the "harmony" usually achieved only in works of art was the exclusive idea of life. Ideas are not life, they are not works of art. But apparently beloved Other People can become one's "idea"—so long as one has Margaret Anderson's ability to live for people so much greater than herself, and in this devotion to find fulfillment of her special destiny.
As a daughter of the business class of the Midwest in the 1890's, Marga ret Anderson is a fascinating example of the bristling independence, the limitless self‐confidence, the shrewd resourcefulness that went to make up so many 20th‐century American inno vators in business, literature, science. The gumption, decisiveness and intu ition that founded The Little Review make Margaret Anderson another of those American entrepreneurs, in all fields, whose biographies are central, to Dos Passos' "U.S.A." She could always find support for her projects. a beautiful house, a grand piano. But her book makes it clear that, even in relation to The Little Review, all this personal flair, obstinancy and intel ligence were directed more to a rec ognition of unusual people than of works of art, more of women than of men. It was relationships conceived as the only possible form of per fection that became her life pattern, love that would remain ethereal in its transcendence of everything "common." For more than 20 years, she found the famous singer Georgette Le Blanc, Maeterlinck's ex‐wife, the perfection that as an editor she had glimpsed in her first sight of "Ulysses.
I believe everything that Margaret Anderson says pre cisely because she is not a writer but a rhapsodist without guile, who writing for her own pleasure and conviction alone, says everything that comes into her head. I would have liked to know more about Joyce, Eliot and Pound, but her book confines me to Margaret An derson. In her seventies she talks like those girls in my high‐school class who, especial ly on summer. nights in Lewi sohn Stadium, made such an ecstatic identification of love, Keats and the slow movement of Rachmaninoffs Second Piano Concerto that the love never survived the summer. Yet Margaret Anderson is no adolescent softie. Her faith in love as the absolute has sur vived everything, and you take on trust the "perfection" she reached in her life with Geor gette LeBlanc, even though you cannot it; she is writer.
No real writer—think of Colette—would have been able to describe a woman's love for another woman entirely in non physical terms, as spiritual perfection only, as an idyll sus tained over the years without a cross or indifferent word, as an equivalent of the most beau tiful poetry and the most beau tiful music.
And yet this transcenden talized account of love is im pressive because the furious idealism concentrated wholly on personal relationsnips re minds us of the romantic tragedies in Fitzgerald and Hemingway, the supreme im portance of personality to Joyce, the aristocratic and masterful belief in the pos sible perfection of art that be came Yeats's last, greatest manner. All these great writers of the early 20th century who remind us of no one but them selves, all these unduplicatable voices which Margaret Ander son was among the first to hear and to understand, started from the idea of the individual soul as surely as did any medieval saint—but put all their devotion into the theology of art, form, composition, style —of the exceptional, the orig inal, the unmistakable. The absolute was still believed in, but was to be reached only in and through the remarkable labors of the most gifted.
The pioneer modernists of Margaret Anderson's generation in America — such as Pound, Eliot, Stevens, Williams, Hem ingway, Stein—were, we can see now, heirs of the great 19th century tradition of the in dividual, the entrepreneur, the self‐affirming and expansive "self." Though they were all, in their different ways, bitterly opposed to middle‐class values, to modern capitalism, to what Eliot called the "anarchy" of modern creeds, they uncon sciously depended on some primary sense of freedom, of space, of faith in the powers of the individual will.
In our day, when so many writers are trying to get out from under "the system," to become "free," we can see how much the literature and cul ture of the 20th‐century mod ernist revolution depended on values modernism helped to destroy. Pound (among other things The Little Review's for eign editor) has all his life been a replica of the company founder, the explorer, the spec ulator, the inventor, the money crank, the know‐it‐all who re gards everything and every one around him as "his" business. The great originals, whatever their unconscious cruelty to the non‐gifted, preserved a firm ness of personality that was as essential to the modernist revolution as it was to the power and cruelty of American capitalism.
So the most interesting thing about Margaret Anderson's long and too‐personal autobiography is its unwitting celebration of a type — the Midwestern feminist, the leader. She could have become any thing except a great writer. Between perfection of the life and perfection of the work she chose what she will always think of as perfection of the life. The choice had been made for her by her own lack of genius. But in choosing "per fection," she helps to explain the undiminished power of so many beautiful works of literature. created by her generation.

Zakaria al-Siddeh, official of field operations at Rabbis for Human Rights organization said that the Palestinian farmers discovered, in the morning, the tremendous damage when they visited their lands in order to pick the olives.
The Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday morning stormed al-Ras al-Ahmar, in the northern Jordan Valley, and cracked down on Palestinian farmers.
According to local sources, Israeli army patrols chased down Palestinian farmers while they were cultivating their land lots in Ras al-Ahmar.
The occupation forces stopped agricultural tractors and vehicles working in Palestinian farmlands in the area.
Palestinian farmers in Ras al-Ahmar have been permanently targeted by the Israeli army. At least three Israeli settlements and two military camps surround Palestinian ranches in the area.
Palestinian customs check crews on Wednesday caught an Israeli dustcart carrying solid waste, including construction debris, in an attempt to discharge them on Palestinian lands in Salfit.
A statement by the Public Relations Administration at the Customs Police Station said a garbage truck carrying solid waste from the industrial zone of the Israeli settlement outpost of Karni Shamron was detected in Salfit.
According to the customs authorities, the waste spotted onboard the Israeli trucks is harmful to the ecosystem and natural world for it includes insoluble materials and products.
The customs officers forced the truck to pull back shortly after staff members of the Environmental Quality Authority showed up in the area and warned of the ecological dangers that are likely to be wrought by the trash.
The statement revealed the launch of a series of legal measures to protect Palestinian landowners in Salfit from such hazardous attempts by the Israeli occupation authorities and settlers.
Israeli colonists flooded, Tuesday, dozens of Palestinian olive trees with sewage water, in Deir al-Hatab town, east of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Coordinator of the Israeli Rabbis for Human Rights organization in the occupied West Bank, Zakaria al-Sidda, said the colonists flooded the olive orchards near Elon Moreh illegal colony.
He added that the Palestinian owners of the olive orchards have been isolated from them, and are only allowed to reach them twice a year through special permits and coordination.
The coordinator also stated that the colonists already picked many olive trees in the area, and stole the produce, especially since they have unrestricted access to the orchards.
Although attacks carried out by extremist colonists are frequent, including uprooting and burning Palestinian lands and flooding them with wastewater, they witness a serious escalation every year during the olive harvest season.
The Israeli occupation authorities on Monday approved the confiscation of Palestinian agricultural lands in al-Nabi Saleh village, northwest of Ramallah.
According to local sources, the occupation authorities prevented Palestinian farmers from reaching their land tracts near Halamish settlement, in the central West Bank.
The Israeli authorities have made it clear, in circulars handed over to the landlords, that the confiscation order was issued on security grounds.
Israeli soldiers invaded, on Monday at dawn, the northern West Bank city of Jenin, and Jenin refugee camp, searched homes and abducted four young men, including a former political prisoner. Israeli navy ships opened fire on Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza.
The Jenin office of the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) said the soldiers abducted a former political prisoner, identified as Faraj Omar Sanouri, from his home in the Eastern Neighborhood, in Jenin city.
It added that the soldiers also abducted Fares Sa'id Shalabi, Yazan Mer'ey and Abdul-Rahman Salah Turkman, from Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp.
It is worth mentioning that the soldiers conducted, at dawn, extensive invasions and violent searches of homes in al-'Isawiya town, in occupied East Jerusalem, and abducted 43 Palestinians, including many children.
In addition, the Israeli army said its soldiers arrested fifteen Palestinians in the West Bank, excluding the 43 in Jerusalem, and that they located a pistol, during searches in Hebron, and another weapon in Beit Fajjar town, south of Bethlehem.
In the Gaza Strip, Israeli navy ships opened fire on several Palestinian fishing boats, in the Sudaniyya Sea area, northwest of Gaza City, causing damage.
The fishermen sailed back to the shore without being able to fish, to avoid further Israeli attacks.
Jordan Valley, Occupied West Bank – Water is not scarce in the Jordan Valley, known as the traditional "breadbasket of Palestine" – yet Palestinian farmers struggle to survive, with little water to nourish their crops. They say the amount of water that Israeli authorities allocate to them has been decreasing daily since the Second Intifada.
Meanwhile, neighbouring settlements consume copious amounts of water. They grow produce, such as bananas, requiring large amounts of water, which is mostly pumped from wells in the occupied West Bank, and they export a rich variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers and spices to Europe and the United States.
In the village of Ein al-Beida, barbed wire divides a field in two.
On one side are rows of orange trees covered in lush green leaves, grown by Israeli settlers from a nearby illegal settlement; on the other is barren land allocated for Palestinians, where nothing grows except stiff stalks of yellow grass, long dried out due to the lack of water.
Farmers in Ein al-Beida, one of the few villages in the Jordan Valley that is connected to the water grid, last month staged a peaceful protest after Israeli authorities cut their water for more than a week.
Israeli authorities eventually turned their water back on, but locals say the amount is now less than half of the 240 cubic metres an hour that they received before the protest.
Many Palestinians who depend on agriculture for a living try to install water pipes and connect to the water network on their own. Doing so without an Israeli permit, however, is deemed "illegal" and puts them at risk of having these makeshift connections demolished.
Only 1.5 percent of Palestinian building permit applications in Israeli-administered Area C of the occupied West Bank were approved between 2010 and 2014. Consequently, Palestinians have no choice but to build without a permit, even if it is a simple rainwater tank on private property.
However, the Israelis discovered the illegal connection "and punished the whole area by decreasing and cutting our water", Foqaha added.
The Israeli government did not respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment on the matter.
Following the 1967 war and Israel's military occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, one of Israel's first acts was to declare all water resources to be under Israeli military control. In order for Palestinians to build wells, repair pipes or develop irrigation networks, they had to obtain Israeli-issued permits, which are scarcely granted.
As a result, Palestinians often have their water tanks confiscated and pipes cut by Israeli authorities.
Palestinian farmers in the Jordan Valley recall a time before 1967, when their families freely used the water from springs that ran through their villages and watered their crops with canals. Their fathers grew citrus fruit and bananas; water was plentiful.
Today, they depend on seasonal agriculture to grow rain-fed crops that are on average 15 times less profitable than irrigated crops. They rely on growing produce that can survive for longer periods without water, such as dates, eggplants and zucchini. Palestinian farmers say they now use less than half of their original farming land.
After the 1967 war, the Israeli government confiscated land where the main spring flowed in Bardala and diverted the water to nearby agricultural settlements. Mekorot, Israel's national water company, dug deep into the mountain aquifer, and by the end of the 1970s, Israel had extracted so much water that the springs in Bardala and Ein al-Beida had dried up.
Since groundwater sources have been depleted by Israeli-owned wells, Palestinians have resorted to buying their own water back from Mekorot at a high cost.
"The Israelis dug underground, conducted experiments and found out that this whole area is full of water," Foqaha said.
Water may be scarce for Palestinians, but it is not for Israeli settlers. The difference in consumption is stark: According to EWASH, a coalition of 30 NGOs, settlers in the Jordan Valley consume 81 times more water per capita than Palestinians in the West Bank.
Israel's policies regarding water distribution amount to "water apartheid", according to the human rights organisation al-Haq.
"Contrary to popular belief, water is not, and has not been, scarce in the region," al-Haq noted in a 2013 report titled Water For One People Only.
"The level of unrestricted access to water enjoyed by those residing in Israel and Israeli settlers demonstrates that resources are plentiful, and that the lack of sufficient water for Palestinians is a direct result of Israel's discriminatory policies in water management.
"Mekorot routinely reduces Palestinian supply – sometimes by as much as 50 percent – during the summer months in order to meet consumption needs in the settlements," the report added.
The water cuts are not limited to areas under Israeli control. According to residents in Nablus in Area A, which is under Palestinian Authority (PA) control, water shortages reached a new peak this past summer, with water cuts lasting for as long as two weeks.
Farmer Ibrahim Kassab from the village of Jiftlik told Al Jazeera that half of his profits were spent on buying water for his crops. About 90 percent of his water supply is bought from Mekorot, and only 10 percent comes from the spring.
"Everyone here is thinking the same thing – to quit farming," Kassab said, noting that half of the farmers in the village have already abandoned their farms and picked up jobs as labourers elsewhere.
More than 10 percent of the Palestinian GDP depends on agriculture, yet only 10 percent of the land is irrigated. In contrast, agriculture in Israel accounts for three percent of its GDP, but more than 50 percent of the land is irrigated.
"Anything that's green is Israeli; anything that's dry and yellow is Palestinian," Ein al-Beida farmer Hussein Foqaha told Al Jazeera.
Farmers have nowhere to turn for help. Unable to extract their own water, their peaceful protest achieved little.
The head of their local council has reached out to the mayor of the nearest town, Tubas, to request water from the PA, but nothing has been achieved so far.
"At least we have water to drink now," Muntasir Foqaha, another villager from Ein al-Beida, said wryly, commenting on the protest last month.
Several Israeli colonists invaded, on Sunday at dawn, Palestinian olive orchards, in al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, and Burin village, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, before harvesting the trees and stealing the procedure.
The colonists, from Adi Ad illegal colony, invaded Palestinian orchards in the al-Mughayyir village, and harvested more than 200 olive trees, before fleeing the area with the stolen produce.
A similar attack took place in Palestinian orchards in Burin town, when the invading colonists harvested sixty olive trees and stole the produce.
Such attacks witness a serious escalation every year during the olive harvest season, in addition to the numerous invasions and attacks targeting Palestinian farmlands throughout the year.
These attacks include burning the lands, uprooting them, flooding them with waste-water and chemicals, in addition to fencing them to expand the illegal colonies and outposts.

Over the last few years, we Realtors, homeowners, virtually everyone has noticed in ever increasing amounts, the dreaded Pentatomidae Pente. Ok, you give up? How about the Banksia shield bug?,…Nope, you still don't get it,….ah, the stink bug!
In our locale, we will find them most common, offered in two flavors or shapes. If you have not seen them yet, you will, as they are most prevalent during the Spring and Summer months. These creatures do not die, you'll see them moving a little slower come Fall, with the cooler temps. They will bed down for the Winter, chances are, in your home, only to return the following Spring.
So, who are these monsters?
Simply put, they are insects, capable of producing large populations. They primarily feed on plants or actually, the fluids. Their bounty also includes other monsters; the Japanese Beetle, that's right, the creature you find on your rose bushes, Mexican Beetles and many other types of insects.
This is great! I have read, Pennsylvania, perfect. That'll teach them, calling New Jersey the arm-pit of America. I've also heard Jenny brought them home from that awful neighbor, you know the family. How about the plant you purchased at the local grocery store? Ah, the dreaded Laundromat,… I prefer Mars,…who knows. As for Jenny, that red mark on her arm, nonsense, stink bugs don't bite, don't sting, all they do is stink, big time if agitated or smashed.
How did they get in my Holmdel New Jersey home?
Ok, this one is on the guys. The lazy bastards who leave the garage doors open all day long, you know who you are. In speaking with those in the know, through the vented, soffits of your home. They get into the attic, work they way throughout the house. Any area or space around windows and doors will provide access if broad enough. That pretty Hibiscus, even your fig tree, and any seasonal, tropical plants you put on your deck, leave out there all summer long. Check them before bringing them back in the house.
What do I do to get rid of them?
Let's get beyond the obvious. Hmm? Maybe not so obvious. If you see one, if you see ten, twenty, whatever, simply, gently, grab it, grab them. A paper towel or tissue works nicely but do not squeeze, as little pressure as possible and deposit it in the toilet. You will find the handle, normally on the upper left side of the tank, push it in a downward direction. The paper towel should be thrown in the garbage can, not in the toilet. For you green types, you could also release the critter outside. Other devices may include a plastic spoon and prodding device, like a small section of paper. Leave the tweezers in the medicine cabinet. Don't go crazy with the bug sprays, many will work but in some cases, these guys are immune. Chances are the crap in the bug sprays could be more of a pain. Purchase rose bushes to attract Japanese beetles. Hey, at least you won't have to hang those ugly bags in your trees.
A couple of key notes!
Unless your senses are dulled or nonfunctioning, do not use the vacuum on these bad boys. The rollers, bristles will grind the creature/s into an effervescent purée, which you will enjoy for a very long time, each and every time you use your vacuum. Be mindful of Spot & Felix, the last thing you want is for the family pet to play with or smash your new found friends, especially into the carpet, sofa or your lovely comforter.
So lets recap. Chances are, you are not a dirty person, even if you are, it won't matter. Do not relocate to Pennsylvania, (see above). Get familiar with our buddies, when you find one, show it to your children and educate, instruct them accordingly. If you routinely converse with your pet, do the same. Do not call 911. If you have to, form a self-help group or neighborhood watch. This is not a personal problem. If this becomes obsessive, an intervention may be necessary. Use the phrase infestation when looking for an excuse to keep your mother-in-law from visiting. In closing, do not antagonize, forcibly grab, squeeze or…smash!

Art From Us MUSEUM GUIDE : The Metropolitan Museum of Art : Gallery 554
The MET : Gallery 554 : Revival Styles, 1800–1850
Art From Us, Museum Guide #658
Art From Us presents a must-see Museum Guide daily, where we showcase specific artworks in specific museums – from across the globe. Today, for Art From Us, Museum Guide #658 the spotlight is on the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) NY's Gallery 554. Showcasing a collection of Revival Styles, 1800–1850.
The three works in focus are :
Bookstand, Design attributed to Charles-Auguste Questel, 1839.
Tray, Sevres Manufactory, 1836.
Prie-Dieu, Stammer & Bruel, 1855.
The significance of the 3 works chosen for Art From Us, Museum Guide #658
Welcome to the Art From Us, Museum Guide #658. The objects in this gallery were created in the Revivalist style of the early 19th century.
What is European Revivalism?
In the wake of the Industrial Revolution and the spread of Imperialism, European nations harboured a feeling of nostalgia for their indigenous past. The growth of industry led to the mass production of homogenised goods. Colonization further led to the infiltration of Western cultures by Eastern influences. This subsequently resulted in the development of a new style in art that was labelled European Revivalism.
The artists and architects of the early 19th century sought to carry forth the creative legacy of Europe. They did this by employing old decorative styles to create objects in the present. Therefore, between 1800 to 1850, Europe saw a revival of some of its most significant movements including the Classicism of Greek and Rome, and Gothic art.
The intention of the revivalist artists was not to exactly replicate the art of the past, neither did they want to fully commit to a particular stylistic vocabulary. Their goal was simply to revisit certain prominent styles, through the use of similar motifs and ideas.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Gallery 554 is full of objects and artifacts from this era. This is one room you definitely should not miss!

Gene was the only officer in World War II allowed to wear cowboy boots with his uniform.
Born in Newark, New Jersey on October 2, 1941, Jacqueline Autry spent most of her formative years in Ironia, New Jersey. In 1959 she traveled to California to attend the University of California at Berkeley with the intention of majoring in Physical Education and minoring in History.
Instead, she went to work for Security First National Bank (later Security Pacific National Bank) as a switchboard operator. At the age of 24 she had worked her way to Assistant Manager of Operations. By 30 she was a Manager and, at 32, she was appointed Vice President. Jackie was only the 13th female Vice President in the system at the time of her appointment.
She first met Gene in 1963 when he purchased the Holiday Inn in Palm Springs (later named the Gene Autry Hotel). In fact, on that day Gene had come to the bank to close escrow and Jackie was asked to type something for him. In the ensuing years, their paths crossed periodically for bank business or at desert social functions.
Gene's first wife, Ina, had passed away early in 1980. In December of that year, Jackie saw Gene at the Eisenhower Medical Center's annual holiday fundraiser. She went over to him to pay her condolences at the loss of his wife. Shortly afterwards, Gene invited her to a New Year's party at his hotel. He mentioned she could bring her husband or a date. She came alone. It was the beginning of their courtship.
Jackie retired from Security Pacific National Bank on July 17th, 1981. On July 19th, she married Gene Autry and they shared seventeen happy years together before Gene passed away in 1998.
Jackie's interests include a love of sports, especially horseback riding, golf, baseball and football. She loves to work in her garden and when her busy schedule allows she enjoys adventuring to new places.
As co-founder of the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum 1988 along with Gene Autry, Joanne and Monte Hale, Jackie Autry currently serves as Founding Chair and Life Trustee of the Autry Museum of the American West.
She is also proud to serve as Honorary American League President of Major League Baseball.
In addition to these duties, Jackie is also a member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of Eisenhower Medical Center and Hospital. She also serves as President of the Gene Autry Music Group, Flying A Pictures, and is the Director and President of The Autry Foundation.
Being active in the community is nothing new to Jackie. She's the former President of the Community Blood Bank of the Desert and former President of the American Red Cross, Palm Springs Chapter.
Jackie also served as Director and President of Gene's organizations Golden West Baseball Company and Golden West Broadcasters.
Jackie Autry is the only woman to ever serve on the Major League Baseball Executive Council, Oversight Committee, and as a member of the Board of Directors.

Shakespeare Board Game
by John Dorney
Game Plot: You are an actor/playwright in Elizabethan England – guess which one – hiring actors and technicians in an attempt to put on the best possible play and get the Queen's favour.
Finally, a game where you're competing against each other! Although since all of you are represented by the same picture of Shakespeare, you're sort of fighting yourself. Which is odd.
Each round you select and activate famous Shakespearean characters who all give you different point bonuses at the end of the week. There might, perhaps, be a touch too much going on in this game, but if you get the expansion you can hire the Bear of Winter's Tale 'Exit pursued by…' fame, for which I'll forgive anything.
Similarity to the book (or in this case original plays): You can have Juliet as a character in a play opposite Falstaff and Hamlet. With none of them wearing any clothes. So unless you're watching an especially pretentious student production, I'd say it's not similar at all.

Golden Knights Goaltending
Golden Knights' Fleury: Playoff Zero to Hero
By Peter Ferrell May 10th, 2018
Any way you slice it, the Vegas Golden Knights are the best story of the 2017-18 National Hockey League season, and have been since the puck first dropped back in October.
As a team, the Golden Knights not only exceeded expectations, but obliterated all established standards for expansion teams, not just in the NHL, but in North American professional sports as a whole.
There were great individual stories, as well. William Karlsson, formerly of the Columbus Blue Jackets, scored 43 times and added 35 assists in 82 games, his 78 total points smashing his career totals of 18 goals and 50 points – which took him 183 games to amass. Jonathan Marchessault (75 points in 77 games) and Reilly Smith (60 in 67), who the Florida Panthers unnecessarily jettisoned, finished second and fourth in team scoring behind Karlsson, respectively.
And now, the Golden Knights sit just four wins away from a chance to play for the Stanley Cup, setting up a Western Conference Final sure to be the fastest and most exciting series of the playoffs, no matter who Vegas ends up playing.
However, one story that's especially heartwarming is that of starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who has been resurrected from the postseason scrapheap and become – once again – a playoff hero.
Fleury a Playoff Hero for Golden Knights
Through 10 games thus far in the 2018 postseason, Fleury is 8-2 with four shutouts (two more than anyone else) and a god-like .951 save percentage, leading all starters in that regard. He leads in save percentage at every strength, too, posting a .958 at even strength, .917 shorthanded (tied with Braden Holtby of the Washington Capitals) and a perfect 1.000 while his team is on the power play.
Getting fancier, Fleury is tops amongst remaining goalies in low- (.992), medium- (.951) and high-danger (.860) save percentage, eclipsed only by a couple netminders that were knocked out (in heroic fashion, to be sure) in the First Round.
Goals against average is generally considered more a measure of the defensive success of a team, rather than that of a goalie, but Fleury's 1.53 GAA is legitimately astounding, especially considering the Golden Knights are giving up 34.4 shots per game, fourth-worst in the playoffs and dead-last amongst teams still playing.
Simply put, Fleury has been the best goaltender of the playoffs, and is the reason the Golden Knights are where they are.
Fleury's Stanley Cup Pedigree
All this harkens back to Fleury's early days in the NHL, when he guided the Pittsburgh Penguins to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Final, emerging victorious in 2009 against the Detroit Red Wings, after losing to them in six games the year previous.
The 2008 postseason saw Fleury go 14-6 in 20 games, posting a .933 SV% that was second amongst all playoff starters, behind only Dan Ellis (who threw up a .938, for some reason). Fleury's three shutouts tied him for the league-lead with Chris Osgood, his counterpart in the Detroit net.
Fleury's stats dipped slightly the next year (.908 SV% and no shutouts in 24 games), though he came through when the Penguins needed him most, backstopping Pittsburgh's comebacks from 2-0 and 3-2 series deficits, culminating in a magnificent save in the dying seconds of Game 7 to preserve a Pittsburgh championship.
Fleury Lost in the Wilderness
Unfortunately, it was all downhill after that.
The Penguins made the playoffs every year between 2009-10 and 2013-14, with Fleury starting 43 of Pittsburgh's 54 postseason games during that stretch, but winning only 21 times. His .891 SV% ranked 48th in the league during that time span, putting him behind such NHL luminaries as Jonas Gustavsson (.917) and Antti Niemi (.907), while only outpacing Anders Lindback by .001.
Of particular embarrassment, Fleury lost his starting job to backup Tomas Vokoun in the 2013 postseason, after vomiting up an .883 SV% through Pittsburgh's first four games.
Recurring Nightmares for Fleury
Fleury's perennially steady regular seasons, followed by year after year of playoff disappointment – during which his play ranged from mediocre to downright awful, led many to doubt he could ever regain the postseason form that landed the Penguins the Stanley Cup, thereby scuttling some of the prime years of Pittsburgh's stars, most notably centres Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Fleury went through an extended period of puckstopping struggles, particularly in the playoffs. (Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports)
Some saw a connection between Fleury's playoff struggles and his back-to-back losses in the final of the World Junior Championship. Most remember Fleury racing out of his net to clear a loose puck in the 2004 Gold Medal game against the United States, only to have it ricochet off his own defenseman and into the net for what turned out to be the winning goal.
However, Fleury and the Canadians, who entered the third period up 3-1, had already given up two goals to the Americans before Fleury's infamous clearance (or lack thereof). Similarly, the year previous against the Russians, Fleury and the Canadians were leading 2-1 going into the third, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion, 3-2 – on home soil, no less.
Objectively, neither of these defeats should have reflected particularly poorly on Fleury; even the own goal was more bad luck than anything else.
However, these two losses, combined with his post-Cup playoff struggles, led many to speculate regarding Fleury's mental toughness and durability, given he possessed physical abilities most goaltenders could only dream of.
Fleury's Return to Form Not New
To Fleury's credit, he did everything he could to get his game back on track, including seeing a sports psychologist. Seeking out psychological therapy is a daunting challenge for anyone, let alone a famous athlete whose every move is scrutinised in the public forum.
2014-15 and 2015-16 were the two best (full) regular seasons in Fleury's career, with the then-Penguins netminder posting save percentages of .920 and .921, respectively, with 15 shutouts over those two campaigns combined.
Unfortunately, the playoffs weren't so kind.
The Pens' starter in the 2015 playoffs, Fleury put up a solid .927 SV%, but Pittsburgh still fell in five games to the New York Rangers. Then, in 2016, a late-season concussion sidelined Fleury, allowing rookie Matt Murray to seize the reins and guide the Penguins to the Stanley Cup.
That said, the following year, though Murray received the nod to start in the playoffs, he went down with an injury just before the first game. Fleury stepped in to start the first 15 games of the Penguins' run, winning nine times – including a 2-0 shutout of the favoured Capitals in Game 7 of the Second Round.

Even though Murray would take over midway through the Eastern Conference Final, Fleury was a massive reason the Penguins were able to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, winning two rounds and posting a .924 SV% (which ended up far outstripping Murray, who finished at .908).
So, clearly then, we should have seen this season coming.
Fleury a Formidable Fortress for Golden Knights
Perhaps it's fitting that the story with the chance to be the most enduring is that of a player who volunteered to come to Vegas, sacrificing himself for the good of his former team.
Fleury was a star for Vegas from the second he was selected in the expansion draft and, with a .927 SV% and four shutouts, would have been a Vezina Trophy candidate, had he not been limited by injury to just 46 games.
The playoffs are a different animal, to be sure. But they're an animal Fleury has – thus far, anyway – managed to bring to heel.
Fleury is already beloved by hockey fans the world over. Now, he has a chance to permanently etch himself in hockey lore as one of the greatest goaltenders – with one of the greatest stories – the game has ever seen.

(Repeat process with more coconut, different food coloring options and ziploc bags to create more colors.) Gently mound coconut on top of frosted cupcakes, and add 3 mini candy eggs in middle of each.


If you've ever played Star Wars: Commander, you probably know how fun the game is, but you also know that the game also comes with a very long list of issues that Disney should definitely be addressing (and hopefully they are).
First, though, let's focus on the good stuff. Commander really is a fun game, allowing you to build your own base from scratch and play with players from around the world as you compete for resources and medals. As part of a group, you're charged with not only defending your own territory, but also assisting your comrades with troop donations.
During your time with your group, you'll be listed as one of three ranks: Member, Officer, or Leader. Obviously, the Leader is the top dog of the group, able to remove and promote/demote members with the tap of a screen. Leaders are the creators of the different groups, and anyone can start their own. Officers are much like the Leader in that they're able to remove people from the group, helping to keep the number of inactive users to a minimum. As for members, they have no real power and can only visit the other members and donate troops.
Medals play a vital role in Commander. The idea is to gain as many medals as possible by attacking and defending. I find that attacking is the best way to gain; defending, unless you're able to hold back over half of the attack in a minute and a half's time, will more than likely result in a loss of medals, a loss of resources, or both.
Resources consist of alloy and coins. Coins are a great way to expand alloy production and upgrade some buildings used for offense as well as troops, while alloy serves as a way to boost defenses and keep your coin production high.
First of all, before starting the game, you'll want to make sure you have a Facebook account handy so you can save your progress. Otherwise, uninstalling the app will force you to have to start over. Once you're signed in, you're ready to start.
During the last couple of months I've been playing the game on my tablet, starting with the game's initial release on Windows, one thing has been my constant companion: loading issues. These issues range from server issues to connectivity problems to random crashes. For instance, the app must be completely shut down after each use, not simply minimized. Otherwise, you'll find yourself in a loop of problems that ask you to continually try to reconnect, which has never worked for me.
To work around this particular issue, instead of trying to reconnect, I'd simply shut down the game and reopen it to fix it.
Last night and into this morning, I also experienced problems loading the latest update. It would completely freeze on the "loading" screen and would not move beyond about 10 percent load, no matter how long I let it sit. This eventually forced me to completely uninstall and then reinstall the game. In these instances, you'll have to play through the initial tutorial levels again before you're able to log in and reconnect with your Facebook account. It would be nice if Disney allowed you to log in from the beginning so you didn't have to waste time.
There's also an issue when trying to watch a replay of any attack. The game will try and load the replay for a moment before showing the "Error" dialogue box with an "unable to connect to the server" error message. I wasn't the only one experiencing these issues either; a few members of my squad were also having problems, and one member was even completely removed from the squad, then readded and re-promoted, all within the span of a few minutes, long enough for all troop donations and receptions to be set back to zero.
Thankfully, the latest update appears to have fixed some of these issues after the fresh reinstall; it's no longer freezing on the loading screen, which helped redeem the game's rating a little.
While the latest update does fix some issues, there are still a number of them that continually plague the game, which really hit the game's rating hard. After reporting these issues and being told to once again uninstall and reinstall, which clearly would not fix the problem, it becomes clear that the game could use a little work.
When it works, Star Wars Commander is a fantastic and fun game, mixing social, free-to-play, and simulator into one unique experience. Beginners and experts alike can find a lot to love here, with the game keeping you pretty well matched to players in your experience range.
Star Wars fans are sure to love it, as will anyone who enjoys some good strategizing and online competition. If it weren't for the errors that can crop up at any time to ruin the experience, Star Wars Commander would be my current favorite game on the Windows platform.
If you'd like to try the game for yourself, you can download it via the QR code above or via the Windows Store.

At least you can get it to load. I can't even open it without it crashing and I've tried uninstalling, restarting, everything. :/ Windows Phone lumia 920. I gave it a one star review in the store.
It works okay for me on Surface, but on my Lumia 820 it's very buggy. Definitely has connectivity issues, and I think they were having server troubles yesterday, but not sure.
I wouldn't say the issues are constant, but they pop up quite a bit. It's sad that Windows users have to put up with this from developers.
It doesn't load at all since yesterday. Great copy of Clash of Clans from iOS but it's literally plagued with errors….
I am getting failed to connect to server error Help????????


The Primary Care Enhancement Act (H.R. 365 and S. 1358 ) is a bipartisan bill which expands access to high-functioning primary care services for Americans of all income and age levels. The legislation clarifies to the tax code to remove a major federal regulatory barrier keeping patients, providers and employers who use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) from using innovative Direct Primary Care (DPC) medical homes to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.

Cylindrical concrete barriers are a great solution for sites where a more robust barrier is required.
Block CA & CB weigh 2.5 tonnes. Block CP is a planter block that weighs 1.4 tonnes.
On a recent project, the barriers were used at the top of a steep grass slope which separated a lorry park from the car park below. The cylindrical concrete barriers were chosen because they would be heavy enough to stop a lorry in its tracks should one ever rollaway, before it reached the slope.
Cylindrical barriers have also been used as ballast for vehicle brake testing.
