Three people were killed in Reliance IPCL refinery in Gujarat's Vadodara due to a blast at a Polybutadiene Rubber plant on early November 29 morning.
Sources revealed that the blast took place around 3 am when other employees of the plant had gone out for snacks, while the three were inside the complex.
In a statement, Reliance Industries Limited said that the fire was restricted to one section of the plant following the timely action by the firefighting team.
The three deceased were identified as Pritesh Patel, Arun Dabhi and Mahendra Jadav. Following the incident, they have been taken to SSG hospital for the post-mortem examination.
The company added that the probe will be conducted to ascertain the cause of the fire. The rest of the complex is continuing with normal operations.


To ensure more equitable access to the arts throughout the state, the Mississippi Arts Commission identifies counties that have not recently received grants or services from MAC and provides arts programming to locations in those counties at no cost. MAC considers these counties "underserved." The purpose of this special initiative is to provide access to quality arts programming in all 82 Mississippi counties and encourage potential grantees in underserved counties to take advantage of opportunities offered through the agency.
MAC provides arts programming to these underserved counties by first identifying an organization in each county with available performance or presentation space that is open to the public. Oftentimes, a public library is chosen as a venue. MAC then awards a one-time minigrant to this organization to hire a MAC roster artist to perform, thereby providing an opportunity for residents of the county to experience quality performances. The organization hosting the artist encourages local artists and organizations with an interest in the arts to attend the performance. At the event, MAC staff interacts with attendees to educate individual artists and non-profit organizations about grants and services available through the Mississippi Arts Commission.
For more information on MAC's Underserved Initiative, Kristen Brandt at 601.359.6030.


Situations in which people are covered by multiple plans most commonly arise when two partners both receive healthcare benefits through their jobs. These benefits are typically expanded to spouses and domestic partners; so as a result, each partner is covered by two health plans. If health care benefits are coordinated, the insurance companies share the burden without overpaying, and the insured is fully covered, but not covered to excess.
If both parents have health benefits, under the birthday rule, the insurance company associated with the parent with a birthday earlier in the year would be the primary provider for the children. If Bob is born in January and Sue is born in March, Bob's insurance would be the primary provider for their children.
Members who are injured or become ill as a result of work-related accidents or environment are eligible for benefits under the Workers' Compensation Law. Tethys ensures all accident related claims are covered by workers' compensation plans prior to disbursing funds.
Medicare provides coverage for more than just the retiree population. Medicare coverage also extends to the disabled, ESRD and early retirees populations. Tethys checks for the existence of Medicare coverage for members in these populations before disbursing funds and follows Medicare's Secondary Payer Guidelines.
A divorce decree can place one health plan as primary over the other health plan. If a decree is not issued then the custodial parent's health plan is the primary plan.

If a councillor resigns or cannot complete their term, to fill the vacancy we may hold a:
countback.
In a council by-election, people vote to elect a new councillor.
We hold a by-election if:
a councillor resigns or cannot complete their term in a single-councillor ward
there are no remaining eligible candidates in a multi-member ward or unsubdivided council
there are more than six months before the next general council election.
Countback
A countback is held when a vacating councillor was elected by proportional representation (a multi-councillor ward or an unsubdivided council).
All candidates who were not elected at the original election, and who are still eligible to be a councillor, are automatically participants in the countback. The original election is the most recent election that was not conducted by a countback.
All votes from the original election are included in the countback. To be successful at a countback, a participating candidate needs to achieve a quota. The quota for election in the countback is the same quota as that which applied to the count of votes in the original election.
Before they can be declared elected, a successful candidate must complete and return a declaration stating that they are still qualified to be a councillor. If the candidate does not return the declaration within 48 hours, a further countback will be held.
If there are no remaining eligible candidates to participate in a countback, a by-election is required.

A recent groundbreaking study concluded thatplantar fasciitis treatment combining ultrasound with steroid injections was 95% effective.
It was discovered that 42 of the 44 patients involved in the study had their symptoms disappear entirely within three weeks. "This therapy is quicker, easier, less painful, and less expensive than shockwave therapy," Dr. Sconfienza stated. "In cases of mild plantar fasciitis, patients should first try non-invasive solutions before any other treatments. But when pain becomes annoying and affects the activities of daily living, dry-needling with steroid injection is a viable option," she added.
Conventional treatment optionsinclude certain exercises, rest, arch supports, and night splints. If these options prove to be ineffective, many patients undergo shockwave therapy. In shockwave therapy, sound waves are directed to the area where pain is experienced. This therapy can be effective but also painful, and calls for several sessions. Shockwave therapy is not guaranteed to alleviate pain caused by plantar fasciitis.
Overtraining and overusing the feet are the main causes of common running injuries. A number of these common injuries are caused by overrunning. Runner's knee is a condition that is characterized by the back of the kneecap beginning to wear away and cause pain in the knee.This frequently occurs due to either a decrease in strength in the quadriceps muscles or ill-fitting shoes that are lacking in proper support for the inside of the forefoot. Strengthening exercises focusing on the quad muscle and sports orthotics are the usual treatments for those suffering from runner's knee. Prevention of the condition lies in a focus on hip strengthening and quad-strengthening to keep the kneecap aligned. To help learn the best exercise to heal runner's knee, one can also undergo physical therapy.

This paper explores the relationship between education and the evolution of wealth after retirement. Asset growth following retirement depends in part on health capital and financial capital accumulated prior to retirement, which in turn are strongly related to educational attainment. These "initial conditions" for retirement can have a lingering effect on subsequent asset evolution. Our aim is to disentangle the effects of education on post-retirement asset evolution that operate through health and financial capital accumulated prior to retirement from the effects of education that impinge directly on asset evolution after retirement. We consider the indirect effect of education through financial resources--in particular Social Security benefits and defined benefit pension benefits--and through health capital that was accumulated before retirement. We also consider the direct effect of education on asset growth following retirement, emphasizing the correlation between education and the returns households earn on their post-retirement investments. Households with different levels of education invest, on average, in different assets, and they may consequently earn different rates of return. Finally, we consider the additional effects of education that are not captured through these pathways. Our empirical findings suggest a substantial association between education and the evolution of assets. For example, for two person households the growth of assets between 1998 and 2008 is on average much greater for college graduates than for those with less than a high school degree. This difference ranges from about $82,000 in the lowest asset quintile to over $600,000 in the highest.

Theme Parks in California
The Perfect Yosemite 2-Day Itinerary
Last updated on October 31, 2022 by Laura
This article has links to products that we may make commission from.
An area of protected natural beauty since 1890, Yosemite National park is situated in the dramatic mountain area of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California, and it's one of the most popular U.S. National Parks.
The variety of things to do at Yosemite National Park is huge, from taking a drive up to Glacier Point to see the awe-inspiring panoramic views of Yosemite National Park, to serious hiking, biking and mountain climbing. This Yosemite 2-day Itinerary will help you plan what to do with a few days in the park.
Yosemite National Park is one of the most popular parks of America and visited by over 3.5 million tourists each year who experience the beautiful landscape, waterfalls and steep cliffs of this place. Although the park spans over a huge area of 1189 square miles, the most popular section among tourists is the 7 square miles of Yosemite Valley.

Yosemite National Park is located in California, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The park covers 747,956 acres and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Yosemite is famed for its dramatic granite cliffs, waterfalls, and sequoia forests, and is one of the most popular national parks in the United States.
The park is located about 200 miles east of San Francisco (SFO), which is about a 3 to 4 hour drive. It is easiest to reach it by car, but you can also go by bus or take a guided tour from San Francisco.
Once you arrive at the park, it takes about an hour to drive from the park entrance to Yosemite Valley and the Village.
Yosemite Valley receives most of its visitors in early spring to early summer, which is when the waterfalls are in full intensity and the weather is at its prime. From June to September the park can get very crowded, especially on weekends and while school is out for summer.
If you're looking for a more peaceful visit, try visiting in the fall when the leaves are changing color. In the winter, while some roads will be closed due to weather conditions, there is still quite a bit of the park open and it can be a beautiful time to take photos with the snow cover.
The park entrance fee is $35 per car and it's valid for 7 days. You have the option to drive around yourself around the park, but to maintain the natural beauty of the park and to keep it a pollution-free zone, there is a free shuttle buses to most of the popular spots.
High amounts of traffic is common especially at the entrance, but once you get inside, it will start to spread out and not cause as many issue. Still, I highly suggest taking the shuttle bus to the sights anyways.
» Note: Reservations are required to enter or drive through the park from May 20th – September 30th between the hours of 6 am and 4 pm. Check the parks website for more information.
Yosemite National Park provides a variety of lodging and camping. Official discounted Yosemite National Park lodging ranges from basic tent cabins with nearby toilet facilities to the more luxurious lodging in The Ahwahnee Hotel is a distinctive hotel that is the pride of Yosemite National Park.
You can examine the variety of Yosemite National Park lodging online and make reservations. It's always best to book way ahead of your visit to get the lodging you want.

This 2-day itinerary of Yosemite National Park includes as many of the key attractions as possible in a short time. The attractions that are open during your visit will vary, so be sure to check the NPS website before you go to make sure they are open.
Yosemite Valley
Tuolumne Meadows
Bridalveil Falls
Check out the web story for the 9 Top Attractions in Yosemite National Park.
Since most visitors will arrive in the park mid-morning on their first day, you'll need to jump right in to get the most of your time in the park. Below are two days worth of activities that you can choose from to fill your time, depending on what you feel like doing.
Yosemite Visitor Center (photo via Flickr by Ken Lund)
Your first stop should be to the Valley Visitor Center so you can prepare for your visit in the park and get your questions answered. There are rangers to answer questions, some exhibits about the park, brochures and lots of information to get you started.
While the famous naturalist John Muir is often credited for his lifelong dedication towards defending the natural beauty of Yosemite and eventually helping it be turned into a national park, long before Muir the Ahwahnee indigenous people lived and cared for the land.
For folks interested in the history of the region and how its original inhabitants carved out a way of life that revered and protected the natural wonders of the mountainous landscape, a trip to the indigenous village of the Ahwahnee is well worth your time.
One of the best panoramic views of Yosemite National Park is at Glacier Point which you can either hike up to or drive up to. Since this is one of the top viewpoints, you'll be joined by plenty of other tourists doing the same thing you are, but don't let that stop you from enjoying this spectacular view of Half Dome and Yosemite Valley.
Typically, driving up Glacier Point Road to the viewpoint is possible, however the road is closed until approximately May 2023 for road work. This is the only way to get up to Glacier Point, Sentinel Dome, Taft Point, and other Glacier Point Road destinations unless you want to hike it.
Four Mile Trail Hike
Distance: 9.6 mi (15.5 km) round trip
Elevation gain: 3,200 ft (975 m)
Time: 3-4 hours one-way, 6-8 hours round trip
One of the most iconic sights in Yosemite National Park is Half Dome. While it's literally just a huge rock shaped like a dome, it has an incredible presence throughout the park, towering over everything. It's one of the things that visitors are most eager to see and photograph, so don't miss out on the best views!
While you can see Half Dome from all over the park (even outside the park), the best views are from Tunnel View at the park's entrance or from Mirror Lake.
Tunnel View
This iconic view of El Capitan, Bridalveil Falls and Half Dome, made famous by Ansel Adams, can be found just outside the Wawona Tunnel on State Highway 41. You don't need to hike there, it's a viewpoint that is reachable by car. The parking lots and vista are often quite crowded. Arrive early to get the best views.
This is also a great spot to view Half Dome because it's a different perspective, from below. The Mirror Lake Trail is accessible year round and is a very popular hike for visitors to the park because it's much easier to accomplish than others.
Distance: 2 miles (3.2 km) round trip to lake and back
Elevation gain: 100 feet
Begin at: Mirror Lake Trailhead (shuttle stop #17) – there is no parking
Morning: Hike to Vernal Falls
Vernal Falls is a spectacular 317-foot waterfall and one of the top sights in Yosemite. The hike down and back up is steep and strenuous but the views and the mist on your face are worth it.
I suggest starting this hike as early as you can because of a number of reasons: it can get crowded later in the day and the sun can be quite hot after mid-morning.
There are 3 options you can take for this hike. This information come directly from the NPS.
Vernal Fall Footbridge
Distance: 1.6 mi (2.6 km) round trip
Elevation gain: 400 ft (120 m)
Time: 1-1.5 hours
Top of Vernal Fall
Distance: 2.4 mi (3.9 km) round trip (via Mist Trail)
Elevation gain: 1000 ft (300 m)
Time: 3 hours
Top of Nevada Fall
Time: 5-6 hours
You can also take the John Muir Trail to the top of Vernal Fall (via the Clark Point cutoff) and the top of Nevada Fall, or combine the Mist Trail and John Muir Trail into a loop.
After hiking the Vernal Falls Trail in the morning, you'll want something less strenuous for the afternoon. Finding the best views of El Capitan is a great way to fill the time.
As most of us won't be able to climb the face of El Capitan, we must settle for views of the iconic granite wall that dominates the valley. There are a few great spots to get views.
Two facts you might not know: El Capitan is 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, or more than 3 times as high as the tip of the Eiffel Tower.
El Cap Meadow
As you head out of the valley, there are a few spots where you can pull off the road near the meadow to view El Capitan from up close. The meadow is under construction, so you may not be able to go into the meadow. Bring your binoculars and try to spot climbers on the rock face.
The Bachelor and the Three Graces
If you have time left in your day, the drive to Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is a great way to fill it. The area is filled with hundreds of towering sequoias, some over 200 feet tall. It's an incredible sight to see.
The Grizzly Giant Loop Trail is a great way to see the sequoias and appreciate their height from above. It's a moderate 2-mile hike.
If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in a stunning natural setting, look no further than Yosemite National Park. With its awe-inspiring scenery and plethora of activities to enjoy, you'll be hard-pressed to fit everything into just two days.
However, with this detailed itinerary as your guide, you can at least get a taste of all that Yosemite has to offer. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your trip today.

How a conspiracy theory explains the Michael Cohen secret tape
Less than 12 hours after being caught in a lie about his knowledge of a payoff to former Playboy model Karen McDougal...
Updated: Jul 25, 2018 2:21 PM
Less than 12 hours after being caught in a lie about his knowledge of a payoff to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, President Donald Trump turned to an old friend for solace: The conspiracy theory.
In a tweet responding to the release of audio of a secretly recorded conversation between Trump and his one-time personal attorney Michael Cohen, Trump floated the idea that the tape was either incomplete or edited to make him look bad.
"Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things," Trump asks mid-tweet.
Which, of course, doesn't make much rational sense.
The tape's quality -- and length -- is almost certainly the result of the fact that Cohen was secretly taping the conversation. This was not an NPR podcast. This was a surreptitious attempt to capture a conversation.
As for Trump's contentions that he was "presumably saying positive things" in the portion that was cut out, it's not immediately clear to me why that's relevant. So, in a conversation about a potential payoff to a former Playboy model, Trump could, maybe, have gone on to say "positive things?" About McDougal? About Cohen? About, you know, stuff in general?
And, regardless, what difference does it make? Does saying positive things about, uh, someone, change the fact that this conversation about a potential payoff to McDougal took place two months before Trump's campaign denied any knowledge of the payoff and said that the allegations were entirely false?
What Trump is doing with this tweet is not, in truth, very hard to puzzle out.
In honor of "Shark Week," let me borrow a comparison from our friends in the deep. When shark scientists -- or those who study sharks -- want to bring the animal close to them, they throw chum into the water. The cut-up fish and blood draws the sharks.
Trump is essentially chumming the waters for his supporters with some vague talk of conspiracy. He knows that by throwing out the idea that the tape has been edited to make him look bad will give his most loyal supporters something to latch onto amid what is undoubtedly a bad story for him. He's giving his allies -- on conservative talk radio and conservative cable news -- an argument to make; "If this tape is even real, then why does it cut off so quickly? The real story is what Cohen or his lawyer cut from the tape!"
This isn't the first time that Trump has turned to a conspiracy theory to explain the unexplainable to his backers. Remember that Trump has floated the idea that it isn't actually his voice on the "Access Hollywood" tape in which he is caught speaking in crude terms about women.
This, from The New York Times, in the midst of Roy Moore's campaign for the Alabama Senate last fall, is startling:
"[Trump] sees the calls for Mr. Moore to step aside as a version of the response to the now-famous 'Access Hollywood' tape, in which he boasted about grabbing women's genitalia, and the flood of groping accusations against him that followed soon after. He suggested to a senator earlier this year that it was not authentic, and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently. (In the hours after it was revealed in October 2016, Mr. Trump acknowledged that the voice was his, and he apologized.)"
That logical contradiction -- Trump admitted his error and apologized for it but then said the voice may not be his at all -- is secondary to his belief that by throwing any sort of uncertainty into the mix, he benefits. Sort of like during the 2016 campaign when Trump suggested that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's father might have been involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Or when he suggested that then-President Barack Obama approved surveillance of his phone lines at Trump Tower in 2016. Or when he said that 3 to 5 million illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election. Or when he said that Obama wasn't born in the United States. And on and on and on.
Fomenting conspiracy theories is an easy out for Trump. The lack of specifics of, you know, proof is actually evidence for some people that the conspiracy theory is real. And any attempt to point out a lack of facts or simply note how threadbare the "theory" actually is can be explained away easily: "So you're in on it too!" or something like that.
Make no mistake: What Trump is doing with the Cohen tape is a tried and true deflection method for him. Expect him to lean more heavily into the conspiracy theory idea in the coming hours and days for one simple reason: He doesn't have any good answer for what the tape reveals.

The GDPR sets up a one-stop-shop mechanism which provides for the coordination of data protection authorities within the EU. In this case, Google's European headquarters are situated in Ireland and the CNIL had to assess whether it was competent to deal with the complaints. It was established that Irish data protection authority did not have "decision-making powers" over Google's Android operating system and Google's services and thus CNIL was competent to take any decision regarding processing operations carried out by Google.
In its statement, CNIL held that Google was in violation of the obligation of transparency and information since users are not able to fully understand the extent of the data processing operations to which their personal data is subject. This is mainly due to generic and vague descriptions of the purposes for data processing as well as lack of information with regards to retention periods for some data. The current processing operations do not allow a user to be aware of the plurality of websites and applications (Google search, You Tube, Google Maps, Playstore etc.) and the amount of data processed and combined. CNIL also ruled that Google is not seeking clear, specific and unambiguous consent for all the different ways it processes data and contrary to the GDPR, pre-ticked consent boxes are used by Google.
CNIL fined Google €50 million – the largest GDPR penalty levied against a US Company to date. Although the fine may seem high, it is not exorbitant when compared to the fact that the GDPR allows a company to be fined a maximum of 4 percent of its annual global turnover, and Google's earnings in the third quarter of 2018 alone amounted to $33.74 billion.

Pavilions 1
Monday 15 Oct 2018 11am - 1:15pm
Sherman Centre for Culture and Ideas, 20 Goodhope Street, Paddington, NSW 2021
The Australian Institute of Art History (AIAH) is proud to support the Sherman Centre for Culture and Ideas and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in offering a series of public presentations on the theme of the Pavilion.
Emerging in the 18th Century, the pavilion has been a highly significant building type in the work of major architects of the 20th and 21st centuries. The recent commissioning of the $340 million Sydney Modern extension to the AGNSW, which comprises three cascading pavilion structures, is a case in point. The temporary pavilion is now also emerging as a cultural phenomenon: the celebrated Serpentine Galleries' summer pavilions in London, national pavilions at the various Architecture biennales including Venice and, locally, the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation's Fugitive Structures series are some notable examples. These inventive and idiosyncratic structures blur the boundaries between art and architecture.
Sherman Centre for Culture and Ideas

Yet another wheelswap, yet again the MBX 7sps.
I have a massive 'thang' for the 7sps. They fit virtually any 4x4 casting with adequate ground clearance. It fits most castings perfectly (as similarly chunky alloys are present in virtually all 4x4 option packages). The latest victim in the craze is the '15 F150's 2018 release.
The casting in itself, and this execution is butch, laid back and classy.
Aaaand it's time to sign out of 2017. What an year it was in terms of this hobby; so many new acquisitions (went full throttle in the latter half of the year), so many new people met (including the incredible LaLD gang), and of course got the chance to be an author for LaLD! Woot! Here's to a wonderful 2018 for all the LaLDers!


Your Credit Recovery assignment is a novel study, in order to satisfy the reading component of the curriculum. Based on the novel study you will complete a package of graphic organizers that will demonstrate in writing / visual representation that you understand the content of the novel. In order to satisfy the oral language component, you will have a discussion with the instructor about the novel, the materials in the Links & Resources section and your thoughts on both.
For each sheet that you have to fill out, you also have an instruction sheet that gives similar information to what is here on this page, AND you have an example sheet. Be sure to ask for help if you need assistance or support!
and make a connection to something you already know or in your own life.
Canada's Residential School system offered both benefits and dangers or problems to First Nations students.
Under the "Who" column, put the names of 5 characters in the novel.
Under the "What" column, list an event that happened involving that character.
Under the "When" column, list the time when it happened in the course of the novel, that character's life and in history.
Under the "Where" column, make note of the location at which the event occurred.
Under the "Why" column, briefly explain the reasons the event happened.
Under the "How" column, explain the way it happened, or the way it impacted the character and the story.
You're comparing your life experiences of family, school, sports, work etc. with those of the novel's main character, Saul Indian Horse. The things you have in common, go in area where the two circles overlap.
Strongly Agree - detailed reasons that a person (not necessarily you personally) might strongly agree with this statement.
Agree - detailed reasons that a person (not necessarily you personally) might agree with this statement.
Disagree - detailed reasons that a person (not necessarily you personally) might disagree with this statement.
Strongly Disagree - detailed reasons that a person (not necessarily you personally) might strongly disagree with this statement.
It is important that all Canadians, First Nations and non-Native alike, are educated about, understand and do not forget the legacy of Residential Schools in Canada because their impact is far-reaching.
If you can't recall info on Arnold or Glen, search on the net.
There is a link to the film We Were Children under the Links & Resources section below and there are several sources of information on Chanie Wenjack in both the Links & Resources section and under the Videos section.
The key to this graphic organizer is to put the climax of the novel in the box at the centre of the page.
Remember: the climax may or may not be the most exciting moment of the novel. It IS the moment where there is no turning back for the protagonist.
Where, When and How long refer to the event of the climax of the novel.
The Sequence are the smaller events that make up the climax of the novel. Put those in order in the upper right.
In the circle labeled "Cause", explain the catalyst - the trigger for the climactic moment.
The "Who" circles are for the key characters involved and the boxes below them allow you to give supporting details about their involvement in the climactic event.
The circle labeled "Reflect" could also be called Resolution or Outcome. What happened as a result of the climactic event?
How Is One Just Like The Other?
This time you are going to find the other characters or people that the characters are going to be compared to and select the criteria for comparison.
You need to choose any other two characters from the novel for that column.
THEN you need to think of people you have either heard of (historical or fiction, in books, movies, etc) or people you've met, who have something in common with that character, and put their names in the middle column.
In the last column, give details of how the people or characters you thought of are similar to the characters from the novel Indian Horse.
For this page, you will need to select 6 events that you think are key to the plot and character development in the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. You will need to put the events in order in the boxes. Follow the numbers and arrows shown on your sheet.
Imagine that you are the teacher and you are creating a quiz on the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese.
The key is that you have to create four very specific types of questions.
This type of question is the most straight forward. It should not be a 'yes' or 'no' question/answer but you should be able to point to the exact answer, almost word-for-word on a particular page in the text. It's very much a fact-based question. If we used Little Red Riding Hood as an example story, you might ask, "What colour was the cape that the girl's mother had made her?" The answer is even in the title of the story: red.
This type of question requires putting together information from more than one piece of the text. Again, if we use Little Red Riding Hood as an example story, a sample question might be, "Are Red Riding Hood and her family wealthy?" and you'd have to use details from the story to prove the answer - "wealthy" or "poor".
This type of question makes you take something from the story you are reading and connect it to something from the real world. Using our example story of Little Red Riding Hood, it might be a question like this, "Why are wolves the representation of Evil in the story of Little Red Riding Hood?"
These questions take the Big Idea, or theme of the story and expand it, making the reader really think beyond just the story. Going back to our example of Little Red Riding Hood, an example of this kind of question might include, "The moral of the teaching story Little Red Riding Hood is that if we stray from the safe path, we might encounter unimagineable dangers, but can it be worth taking risks by straying from the safe path in life? Give an example of a time when a risky choice - and list the risks - could be one that had potential important benefits."
Notice that the more complex a question is, the more detailed and longer the questions are - AND the more detailed and longer the answers will be.
Yes, you need to answer your own questions.
A story is not much of a story without a conflict.
Conflict occurs when a person - or, in the case of a story, a character - wants or needs something, but is prevented from achieving it or accessing it by another person/character or force. The character that the author wants us to root for is the protagonist or main character. They may or may not be a "good" person. The character or force standing in the way of the protagonist achieving their goal is the antagonist.
An antagonist is not necessarily "bad" or "evil" - in fact, if it's a set of circumstances, it may be entirely neutral; the antagonist is mostly in the protagonist's way. Sometimes, it's useful to the story for the antagonist to also be "evil" or to behave unacceptably, but it's not always the case.
Some key characters (under the Somebody column).
Next to the character's name, you're going to identify what that character Wanted or needed. Those are the Stakes for that character, what they are in or are willing to get into conflict over.
In the column title But, you explain what got in the way of the character achieving or accessing what they wanted. This is the antagonist for that character. It might be an event, another character or their own personal flaw.
In the last column, where it is titled, So... explain the outcome of that character's particular conflict. What happened when they couldn't get what they wanted? How did they get around the obstacle (the "But")? Did they get around it? Did they fail?
This is when / where you stretch your imagination muscles.
Think back to the episodic summary page that you completed. What if the climax of the novel, or some other very important event had turned out differently?
Then choose 5 actual results of the climactic event (or other important events in the novel) and imagine what might have changed in the course of the novel.
Remember - if you choose an event very early in the novel, you will have to imagine how all the following events may have been different.
So in realtiy, YOU are the Question Generator. The worksheet is just a tool.
This tool will be the basis of the Oral component of the project.
You construct questions by starting in the column on the right, with the 5Ws and the H - the question words.
You add words from the row along the top.
The further up in the top left hand quandrant a question is, for instance, "What is...?" the more straight forward / simple a question is. The further in the bottom right quandrant is, for instance, "How might....?" are open-ended, complex questions.
You need to create at least two questions in EACH quadrant for a total of EIGHT (8) questions based on the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese.
Have the answers prepared for an informal discussion with your instructor as the final part of this Credit Recovey project. Book time for this discussion when you have completed all the written work (graphic organizers) and have the Question Generator finished and are ready to explain your questions and their answers.
Hit play even if the video seems to be "unavailable" or greyed out. It usually plays just fine.

It was the question that quickly flashed through my mind as I watched our Academic Team scrimmage in the school gym in front of the 5th through 8th grade students, teachers, and parents. It was the day before the team was scheduled to compete in the PAGE* Academic Bowl's regional competition. It was the day that showed all that our St. Mary's team was ready.
Some questions were easy, but many were not. It was impressive to listen to the students answer those tough questions. The PAGE Academic Bowl reminds me a little of the TV game show, Jeopardy. As in Jeopardy, the questions range in difficulty and cover a wide variety of topics—math, science, geography, current events, world leaders, language arts, etc. The differences are that in the Academic Bowl you do not select your topic (Alex, I'll take music for $200) or answer with a question, but your team has to be prepared to buzz in first with the answer.
The 7th and 8th grade Academic Team students began preparing for the competition immediately following Labor Day. They would arrive early to school two mornings a week to practice.
Four of our awesome Junior High teachers—Mrs. Skidmore, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Fain, and Mrs. Weber—are St. Mary's Academic Team coaches. Mrs. Skidmore told me that the Academic Team was organized a little differently this year as this year there were no tryouts. All 20 students who wanted to be on the team were participants. This gave all the students a great opportunity to experience preparing for the Academic Bowl.
The practice sessions ran a little differently too. They included scrimmage opportunities where scores were counted. Total scores were tallied and the top 10 participants were invited to compete in the regional competition.
Our St. Mary's team did a great job in the competition. They brought home a regional runner-up trophy.
St. Mary on the Hill Catholic School likes the challenge of academic competitions. In addition to the PAGE Academic Bowl, St. Mary's participates in the Future City Competition, various literary/writing competitions, MATHCOUNTS, Catholic Math League, National Geographic Bee, Scripps National Spelling Bee, and more. Our students enjoy challenging their brains. Go Saints!

What is Gas Assist Injection Molding?
Gas assist injection molding is a process that produces large plastic parts with complex designs and superb cosmetic surface finishes. The process is especially ideal for large handles, equipment covers, doors, bezels, cabinets and skins. For more on how we can help to design or transition your parts to gas assist injection molding, please watch this short video.
When is Gas Assist Injection Molding Used?
Why is Gas Assist Injection Molding Used?
In external gas assist injection molding the molten resin is introduced into the mold but the gas is injected in a micro-thin layer between the back surface of the part and the mold core, thereby forcing the front surface of the part against the opposite side of the mold cavity.
Along with potential reduction of part count, additional savings are achieved through use of the gas assist processes, thereby reducing the total number of parts, tools and assembly steps.
This technology offers many design and performance advantages over other large part molding processes. Multiple parts with differing wall thickness and complex designs can be molded as a single part with tighter tolerances.
Sajar has deep experience converting existing designs from sheet metal, structural foam, thermoforming, and reaction injection molding.Because we also practice straight injection and structural foam molding, we can accommodate any part with the most appropriate manufacturing process.
Gas assist injection molding is a low pressure process that requires the injection of pressurized nitrogen gas into the interior of a mold. The gas flows through strategically placed gas channels to displace the material in the thick areas of the part by forming hollow sections.
The pressurized gas pushes the molten resin tight against the cavity walls until the part solidifies, and the constant, evenly transmitted gas pressure keeps the part from shrinking while also reducing surface blemishes, sink marks, and internal stresses. This process is ideal for holding tight dimensions and complex curvatures over long distances.
On the left, classic injection molded (CIM) parts show evidence of resin shrinkage on the front side areas of the rib/wall junction. For external gas assist injection molding (EGAIM) gas packing on the reverse side of the part prevents front side shrinkage.
This technology offers many design and performance advantages over other large part molding processes. Multiple parts with differing wall thickness and complex designs can be molded as a single part with tighter tolerances. Support ribs and bosses can be molded into the part itself, and the gas channels can be directed to eliminate evidence of these support features on the customer facing side of the parts. For these reasons parts exhibit improved dimensional stability and higher quality surface cosmetics, while requiring minimal or no secondary operations.
Gas assist injection molding is an attractive option for producing a better quality alternative to existing large metal parts. Customers achieve tremendous performance benefits by eliminating expensive, heavy, corrosion-prone parts such as covers, enclosures, access doors, and panels. Another attractive conversion opportunity is the replacement of existing thermoformed, vacuum formed, or pressure formed parts. Formed parts require labor-intensive, expensive secondary operations and the cost savings associated with gas assist justifies the investment in tooling to convert to gas assist injection molding once production quantities reach modest levels. Part features such as support ribs, bosses, and windows can be incorporated into the mold of a gas assist part and the costs of gluing, bonding, trimming and machining normally necessary for thermoforming can be eliminated.
Through early involvement in the engineering and design process, Sajar Plastics can provide you with a competitive advantage through use of gas assist plastic injection molding. Contact us today to learn more.

PDLA Election Protection Action Alert!
Progressive Democrats & Democracy for America activists in CA are both urging everyone to flood Sacramento with calls RIGHT NOW. Please help!
Call/email your assembly rep (http://www.assembly.ca.gov/) today & urge a "NO" vote on McPherson for Secretary of State.
Check out McPherson's transition team ... shades of Florida, 2000, & Ohio, 2004.
Mr. Moderate Republican has taken a sharp turn to the right, recruiting GOP quarterbacks to call the plays on election day. Do we really want the guy who is raising $70,000,000 for Arnold's special election to be running the voting with McPherson? Do we want another guy whose firm represents Diebold to be overseeing electronic voting machines?
Contact your assembly rep immediately.
Also, tell Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (213-620-4646 or 916-319-2046) (assemblymember.Nunez@assembly.ca.gov ) that you expect the Dems to fight, not surrender California to slick GOP operatives bent on hijacking the Sec. of State's office. Why is Nunez, a fellow Democrat, reportedly supporting the line-up below?
Adan Ortega Jr., a former chief deputy secretary of state who is described in a transition team press release as an employee of GCG Rose & Kindel. The firm's clients include Diebold Election Systems, which agreed to pay $2.6 million last year to settle a lawsuit claiming it sold the state faulty touch-screen voting machines.
In the words of one Sacramento politician, "They varnished the transition team with some quality people, but they also have some very partisan political activists that are connected to the governor's initiatives."
Share your phone call or email on pdlavote@aol.com.
Our assembly members are expected to vote on Tuesday, March 29th. Don't let them give away California.
You have to take a real good look at these people. The top 6 aren't just run of the mill Repubs. These are Schwarzenegger's Generals (not lieutenants, not colonels, not sergeants).
Those are people who are instrumental in formulating his agenda, plans, and strategy. These are the people responsible for seeing that it gets done. These aren't order takers. These people are Order Givers and Commanders These top 6 people are not some benign underlings. If they were just run of the mill Repub Wankers, this wouldn't be an issue. These 6 people are there to make sure that Schwarzenegger gets his "Special Election" and gets his redistricting and his other initiatives.
It's just too coincidental that [California Sec of State] Shelley decertified and sued Diebold, provided a paper ballot option for 2004, and insisted on the highest standards in the nation on electronic voting -- and now he's gone. Too coincidental.
Too convenient to the Bush Cartel and the Council for National Policy (HF Ahmanson et al) who have long wanted to loot California's wealth and bring this progressive state to heal politically.
Their energy brethren in Texas succeeded on the first goal, bankrupting California and enriching themselves, and getting rid of the Democratic governor; now they are embarked on the second goal, taking over the election system and breaking the Democrats' power in this state.
None of these people are to be trusted.
Further, think of the EXAMPLE that has been set -- that if you oppose a Bush Cartel buddy (Diebold), you WILL be destroyed.
Cheney can steal billions and billions of dollars out of the federal coffers for himself and his friends, and Kenneth Blackwell can break every election law on the books, with NO CONSEQUENCES, but if you DARE to oppose us, we will dig out every misstep you have ever made, and utterly ruin you [as done to Shelley].
Same MO as with Clinton, and so many others. It's truly sickening.
They are pulling this off so fast -- like so many of their coups -- that we really don't have time to stop it. That is their purpose -- much as with the Recall. Don't give the public time to think or act.

Television and the Potential NFL Lockout
Posted on November 18, 2009	by jakefisher723
By Jake Fisher
http://img2.allposters.com/images/LIFPOD/881252.jpg
The Washington Post reported two weeks ago that NFL television ratings are the highest they've been in 20 years. Obviously, this is good news for business.
The National Football League, as a business, is the king of the sports world. The NFL raked in $7.6 billion in 2008, making it the planet's richest league. But the NFL, just like any business in a recession, is not immune to downturn. Like the Corleone family had the Tattaglias, the NFL business has its own daunting obstacles.
Possibly the greatest threat to the NFL's short-term economic stability is the potential lockout in the 2011 season. Let's take a look at the debate surrounding this impending work stoppage and the history of sports lockouts/strikes to see how NFL business could be affected.
THE DISPUTE:
In May 2008, the NFL owners unanimously voted to opt out of the collective bargaining agreement, signed in 2006. The owners' decision was influenced by a number of factors, including grievances with the league's revenue sharing structure, player wage restrictions, and rookie pay scale. Right now, owners contribute about 60 percent of projected league revenue toward player compensation. The owners are probably looking to shave a couple percentage points off this figure. As Jerry Jones noted in September, some owners are also upset with the current revenue sharing structure, which forces teams, even successful small market teams, to pay and "subsidize" less successful teams, both in small and large markets. As an ESPN article suggested, owners believe that the 2006 CBA has directly deflated their profits.
One result of opting out is that the 2010 season will operate without a salary cap/floor. Because the CBA expires after the 2010 season, if no agreement between the owners and NFL Players Association is reached, a lockout will occur in 2011. A fan's worst nightmare—no NFL on Sunday—could turn into a reality.
THE UPPER HAND:
So, who has the bargaining power in this owner-player struggle? I think it's hard not to consider the owners as the Goliath. There are only 16 NFL regular season games, compared to 162 games in Major League Baseball and 82 games in the National Basketball Association. What follows is that out of the major North American sports leagues, the NFL generates the smallest percentage of its revenue from ticket sales. This acts as a bargaining chip for NFL owners because ticket revenue is one of the most variable revenue streams and the first to go in the event of a lockout. If NFL owners do not depend on ticket receipts, then a lockout is not as detrimental.
The NFL generates most of its revenue through lucrative media deals. According to the Nielsen ratings, in 2008, five of the top 10 single-event television broadcasts were NFL-related. Because of this, television networks pay a premium for NFL content. Currently, about half of total NFL revenue comes from deals with CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, DirectTV, and radio. It is believed that money from the DirectTV deal, which ends up being around $1 billion a year, is guaranteed in 2011, even if an NFL season does not occur. Though details of some of the other contracts are not released, the NFL may have provisions where it receives some money from the other networks, even if games are not played. A large fixed revenue stream seems like a pretty substantial bargaining chip for the owners.
HISTORICAL CONSEQUENCES:
If the NFL lockout does occur, what could be the consequences? The last time the NFL CBA battle was this heated was in 1987, when NFL players went on strike. The owners used replacement players for several games, and television ratings saw a decrease of about 20 percent in the first week of using replacement players, according to the New York Times. It's hard to analyze the impact of the strike on the NFL in 1987, however, since the strike only really lasted for less than a month.
It may be more helpful and relevant to look at the more recent 2004-05 NHL lockout as a reference point. According to Forbes, NHL teams actually saw a growth in value following the lockout because the fixed number guaranteed for player wages out of league revenue fell from about 66 percent to 54 percent. If NFL owners get their way and shave a few percentage points of the current 60 percent figure of player payroll to revenue, then perhaps NFL teams will see a value increase as well. Attendance figures from ESPN also note that NHL attendance did not suffer too much from the NHL lockout. The median team attendance in 2004 was 16,719. In 2006, the year immediately following the lockout, the median team attendance actually grew to 17,025. The median attendance has grown gradually over the past several years and in 2009, the median team attendance was 17,532.
Despite emerging relatively unscathed in the areas of team value and attendance, the NHL felt the most pressure from the lockout in the area of television ratings and revenue. The NHL television revenue/ratings had never been on par with the NFL, MLB, or NBA, but after the lockout, television revenues dipped even more.
In 2004, before the lockout, the NHL was coming to the end of a solid five-year, $600 million deal with ABC/ESPN. Since the lockout, the NHL has aired on NBC, but games are relegated to just a Saturday afternoon slot. The contract with NBC also stipulates that NBC pays no rights fees; instead the network and the NHL have a revenue-sharing agreement. As far as cable broadcasts go, NHL games are now hidden on the VS channel. The deal with Versus is a step down from the deal the NHL had with cable partner ESPN before the lockout.
Taking a look at the 1994 MLB strike may also be helpful in forecasting the effects of an NFL lockout. According to ESPN, average MLB attendance was 31,612 in 1994 before the strike occurred. In the next year, attendance dropped to 25,260. Attendance did not get back to 30,000 until 2000. ESPN also notes that, "operating revenue was cut from $1.87 billion in 1993 to $1.2 billion in 1994 and didn't reach its former mark until 1997."
For MLB, unlike the NHL, team value and attendance did seem to take hits. From the research I've done, it also seems like MLB television revenue dropped after the lockout. It has been reported that the price paid by Fox for a new MLB television deal in 1995 was substantially smaller than the price CBS paid in the early 1990s.
It is certainly hard to extrapolate from the NHL lockout and MLB strike to the potential NFL lockout. If history repeats itself, however, an NFL lockout may correspond to a drop in television revenue when contracts are renewed over the next several years. This would be especially disappointing for the league, because the NFL's wealth depends so much on its current television contracts. A percentage decrease in NFL television revenue would have a much larger negative effect than the same percentage decrease in NFL ticket receipts. The effect on attendance and team value could also be up in the air. If the owners succeed in lowering the amount paid to players, team values could rise. If the public image of the NFL is damaged enough to reduce demand for the sport, then team values could go down. For attendance, the top NFL teams probably won't see a decrease because games are sold out and feature long season ticket waiting lists. Some NFL teams, like the Jaguars, who have been struggling to fill the stands, may take major hits in ticket revenue.
Any way you look at it, the impact of the NFL lockout will be complicated. For now, I'd just suggest just sitting back on Sunday and enjoying nine hours of NFL games. We might not have that luxury forever.

Very interesting viewpoint. I wonder how basketball revenues responded to their strike in 1998-1999. It does seem like the NFL has a lot to lose.
David Pinto recently wrote a little about the 1994 strike in reference to another recent HSAC post.

Thursday 20th of Feburary 2014 – (this meeting also doubles as an opportunity for current Reservoir Members to renew there membership).
All our meetings are in the Ballgreen Hall – Glasgow Road – Strathaven @ 19.30 & last for an hour to an hour & half.
There will also be an opportunity for you to renew your permit or join as a new member at our Opening Fun Day at the Reservoir on the 15th of March.


A North East-based IT consultancy has announced two top-level appointments, strengthening its senior management team within its Managed Services division.
Mick Keeble and Oliver Plumpton have both joined Perfect Image, based on the Cobalt Business Park, North Tyneside, to grow the Managed Services arm of the business, which specialises in delivering tailored solutions and services to organisations across the UK, helping them to improve their businesses through the effective use of IT.
Andrew Robson, CEO of Perfect Image, said: "We have always offered our customers a true managed service. However, over the past 18 months, many of our customers who already benefit from this offering have suggested we take it to the wider market. The decision to grow and strengthen this division of the business has very much been customer-driven.
"I am delighted to welcome Mick and Oliver to the Managed Services team. With their combined experience and enthusiasm for a truly customer-centric approach to IT infrastructure and delivery, I have no doubt they will play integral parts in the further development of the division.
Mick joins Perfect Image as head of Managed Services with more than 20 years' experience in the IT industry working for large firms across the region. Within his new role, Mick will be responsible for overseeing the growth and development of the division, strengthening relationships with existing clients and taking the company's unique approach to consultative infrastructure and service delivery to new customers.
Oliver joins the Managed Services division as head of service delivery. With an MBA from Durham University, his role will see him manage all elements of compliance and implement best practice processes within the arm of the business, while safeguarding the sustainability and scalability of the offering as Perfect Image continues to grow, ensuring customers receive a first-class service.
Mr Robson continued: "Managed Services can mean different things to different people – even in the IT industry. For us at Perfect Image, it means providing a fully supported, end-to-end service across the full IT stack including applications, hardware networks and cloud solutions.
"It also means we continually assess our customers' business needs, then select the right applications, software and infrastructure from a suite of world-class vendors such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure they get the most from their IT. It's not a case of one-size-fits-all solutions, rather making sure the IT strategy is aligned to each individual business's needs through a partnership approach with our suppliers.
Mick and Oliver join Mark Jackson, who was appointed as sales manager of Managed Services last year. Together, Mark and Oliver will report to Mick, creating a three-strong senior management team within the division.
The new appointments take the total head count at Perfect Image to moe than 70 members of staff, with the company still actively recruiting for a number of different roles within the business.
Founded in 1991 as a provider of high-quality end-to-end IT services, Perfect Image has remained true to its aim, servicing a wide range of companies from blue chips to start-ups.

A few months back we started doing some market research to discover the US Party Count. Our goal was to find the number of traditional parties hosted in the US each year so that we could demonstrate the value of online party activities.
This is an impossible task! We have kept Google busy searching and re-searching and we have come to the conclusion that we must make bold assumptions and create a number from thin air!
If you can think of a better way to get the number, go ahead and give it a try!
Our transparency disclaimer: – Some life events create a greater percentage of parties than others. We will make a wild guess as to the percentage of each and then leave it up to you to prove us wrong!
Misc. Parties: (we got tired of Goggling for statistics, so we just lumped them together) Baptism, Christening, Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet 16, Quinceanera, New Years Eve, Valentine, St. Patty's Day, Garden, Cocktail, Grand Opening, Mixer, Sorority, Club and Film.
OK, we have done the impossible and have found the EXACT NUMBER of parties hosted each year in the US.
Prove us right or prove us wrong – But that's our story and we are sticking to it!


Jesus was astonished at the centurion's faith and because of it, healed his servant from a distance without personally laying hands on him.
It is a great consolation to all Christians that God's Holy Spirit is able to heal without Jesus' physical presence. Let me illustrate with a story.
When our daughter Emily was born, she was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and a serious heart condition known as an A-V canal – holes in her heart between her auricles and ventricles. Three different pediatric cardiologists examined her and concluded she needed early surgery to repair these holes in her heart.
On the weekend before her scheduled surgery, some close friends came to our house to pray for healing for Emily. A few days later, Emily was admitted to Washington's Children's Hospital for a pre-op cardiac catheterization with the surgery to follow. After completing the catheterization, the cardiologist came bounding into the room where my wife was waiting and joyfully exclaimed, "Mrs. Dalgetty, I have GLORIOUS news! There is no hole between her ventricles, and the hole between her auricles can wait to be repaired when she is older and stronger.
Right after Emily's fourth birthday she had surgery to repair the hole between the auricles and she came through the ICU and release from the hospital much faster than expected. Today, she is 31 and works every day at a bakery and catering business. Her joyful spirit has brought many blessings to our family and friends.

Beautiful story, thanks for sharing. We are so blessed,arent we.
Maria, thank you for reading Christ in Life and Work. We are indeed blessed by our special children.


I find that drawing from life is important for many reasons, like practice, relaxation, observing the world around me, are just a few. My friend reminded me the other day to go and sketch rather than only focusing on the work I am doing which is drawing of a different sort (more on that soon) and so I went straight out to the garden and drew seven flowers.
This page is the result. I am constantly thinking of ways of presenting and using my drawings and so this is by way of an experiment. I am also looking to try out different comics styles and not untypically my choice of subject matter is worlds away from the traditional fight scenes and superheroes though at least this one has flying and almost has a fight!
Here is a preview but click over to my line art pages, where I have been updating more work recently.
If you are interested in the process I went through, I actually started something on this yesterday but decided to scrap it, as I mentioned this was an experiment. I will give you a quick run down on why I ditched my first run through.
Initially I scanned in my pencil drawings, then I just isolated the lines from the backgrounds and started to play around with some flat colours. So far so good.
I was thinking though that it looked a bit lazy and didn't make the most of the detailed illustration and also didn't do the flowers themselves much justice so I completely changed tack.
Next I tried the old fashioned illustrative colouring like you'd find in your mum's book of flowers, well more like I'd find in my mum's book of flowers. No idea what kind of books your mums have. But if any of you have mums that like flowers and I would take a wild guess and say most mums. in fact most people like flowers. unless they happen to pride themselves on being particularly metal, then I may have a point. But then there is Gun's and Roses, so what do I know? I know, they aren't metal. Are there any flowers in the Soundgarden I wonder? Are they even metal?
It was about here that I started to wonder if I am incredibly dull for drawing things that grow out of seeds with only the air the sunshine and the moisture in the atmosphere to sustain them, when I remembered how awesome that all is. But perhaps my drawings weren't conveying this sense of awe and wonder that I have for things that grow out of themselves and bring beauty and Oxygen into the world.
I began to think about comics, and women and reboots. And about personal expression.
Just look at it! It's a monster. Something out of the little shop of horrors prototypes bin. So, you know, I decided to (hang up my ukelele) and delete the whole thing and go to sleep. Thankfully this morning the whole LSH mood had passed (except for the dentistry fear that isn't going anywhere for some time).

Build a Galactic Dynasty!
Imperium Nova is a free text-driven browser-based multiplayer game of trade, diplomacy, subterfuge, warfare and exploration, set in a remote galaxy some time in the distant future. The game is open-ended and has no set victory conditions or endpoint.
Each player takes on the leadership of a unique feudalistic dynasty, nominally subject to the Galactic Emperor but in reality competing with scores of others for influence, status and political power. The game aims to focus on theme rather than generic resource-gathering as seen in many alternative browser-based games, and involves elements of role-playing and character development of your dynasty members.
Imperium Nova is set in a series of persistent galaxies, each one effectively a separate game involving possibly hundreds of regular players, capped to prevent overpopulation of any one galaxy. One 'game day' takes 2 hours of real time to pass. Most operations you order will take several game days to be completed. This slow pace means that you do not need to spend long periods of time continuously logged in to the game, but instead can log in as little or as often as your free time and ambition for success dictates.
No software is required - the game is played solely through your browser and has been developed to work with the latest versions of most common browsers. Your browser must have cookies and scripting enabled to access the site. If you have problems logging in from a certain computer the most likely reason is that cookies are not enabled on that machine.
The remaining pages of this Exploration describe in more detail the features of Imperium Nova. It is recommended you browse through these other sections using the menu to the left before proceeding to Signup, since what you read here may well influence the choices you make during the signup process.
When you complete your sign-up to join Imperium Nova, the first thing you will do is create your dynasty, or 'Imperial House'. The name you choose for your dynasty will be your identity within the game, and cannot later be changed.
Despite being set in the far future, the society of the Imperium Nova universe is feudal in nature - each House represents one of the noble families of the Imperium.
You must name your House and also select a title for the House leader, such as Baron, Lord, Countess or Premier. You will also be able to create an individual coat-of-arms. For example, you may choose the House name De Montfort and select the title Baron. When your House leadership is generated, a small family tree is created indicating the head of the House and his or her immediate family. It is these family members, together with any retainers you may hire, who will run your House in game terms - with your hand guiding them of course.
Every House has a status in the Imperium, from an insignificant clan which has only just commenced serious operations, through Minor, Major and Great Houses, right up to the ruling Imperial House. This is reflected by the 'House Status' score in the game, which is itself based upon your influence on individual planets within the galaxy.
As you carry out activities and build your reputation, you will gain influence and status and your House will rise through the rankings. With improved status may come the opportunity to expand your operations into new areas. Who knows, perhaps one day you will be great enough to challenge the Emperor himself for the rule of the galaxy!
During the signup process you must also choose which sphere of activity your House will initially operate within. This is a crucial step that will determine which actions your House is able to carry out within the game. As a starting House you must select one primary sphere of activity, and you may also select a secondary and tertiary sphere of activity if desired. You can branch out into additional spheres later - although to operate in more than one sphere requires a certain level of status.
The spheres of activity your house may engage in are listed below together with a brief description. Since no single House may operate in all areas, no two Houses are likely to carry out identical activities.
Mercantile Establish trade routes in various commodities between trading facilities you have built on different planets
Politics Submit candidates to run for office in the Imperial Senate, and thereby influence galactic policy.
Geological Mine for valuable commodities on mineral-rich planets.
Covert Ops Plant spies, collect intelligence and carry out missions such as sabotage and assassinations.
Agriculture Especially good for new players since it is subsidized by the Imperial government.
Transportation Ferry passengers between planets for profit. Also gives a boost to your House operational range.
Technology Build research centres to expand your technical knowledge, and tech production plants to generate income.
Finance Offer loans to cash-strapped players - for a healthy interest return.
Exploration Fund missions to probe the outer reaches of the galaxy in order to discover new, uncolonised planets.
Construction Build construction plants and receive income every time any facilities are built on that planet.
Military Train elite troops and hire out mercenaries to warring Houses.
Psionics Build psi-centres to generate income from psionic services. Also aids covert operations.
Mysticism Establish your own Cult or Faith and propogate this through the galaxy, gaining influence as you do so.
Detailed descriptions of each sphere can be found in the online rulebook available from the menu link on the left.
Players are able to operate within two spheres of activity absolutely free, and may operate in additional spheres up to the maximum of seven as a value-added feature should the player subscribe to site membership. A player must also attain certain House Status levels in order to open additional spheres of activity. There is no barrier to success within Imperium Nova if operating within the 'free-play' limit of two spheres, providing one of them is a profit-generating sphere such as mercantile or geological. Those who enjoy the game and wish to support it can of course take out membership to explore new activities and get as much as possible from the site.
The key to raising the funds required to successfully build up your operations and status is the construction of bases and facilities. Each House has a homeworld, and can build facilities on this planet and also on other nearby worlds within the operational range of your House. Building facilities costs money, so you need to ensure they are profitable or otherwise of use.
Numerous different facilities can be constructed, from defensive fortresses, trading centres and mining stations through to psi research labs, tech production centres and temples. The type of facility a House can build depends upon the spheres of activity of that house.
Facilities usually have three size levels; small, medium and large. Each specialised type of building has its own name. For example, trading facilities may be known as Trading Outposts, Trading Centres or Trading Hubs, depending upon the facility size. The larger the facility, the greater the potential profit.
All facilities have a monthly upkeep cost, which is influenced by the wealth (and hence labour costs) of the planet, and an income. The income amount depends upon the facility size, individual factors such as the local supply of the goods traded or mineral wealth of the planet being mined, and often how many other facilities of the same type exist on the planet. These might be your own facilities or those of another House.
At a certain point, there may be too many facilities of a given type on a planet to make operations in a given activity there profitable. To prevent this happening you should talk to the other players and come to agreements as necessary. Communication with other players is an essential long-term tool to the success of your House.
However should another House prove un-cooperative or hostile you may find yourself resorting to insults, sabotage, assassination and even outright war. The latter requires that you have accrued 'Feud Score' against the offending House, through hostile actions by them against you.
Imperium Nova is a multi-player experience. Each galaxy is run as a discrete game and may have hundreds of dedicated players active at any one time. With all of these Houses building facilities and attempting to expand in a galaxy of limited size, you will soon realise that it pays to have friends who can watch your back.
Formal alliances and informal agreements with other Houses are what hold galactic society together. If you know of other Houses competing in your spheres of activity on nearby planets, you will sooner or later need to make deals with them or else ruin both your profits.
Of course, if diplomacy fails or if your House is particularly ruthless, you may resort to other means. Sabotage, spying, insults and attempted assassinations are all liable to end up with escalating hostilities between your House and your competitor through the accrual of 'Feud Score' against the opposing House.
However, the Emperor governs the galaxy closely. Without a valid reason to declare a feud, you risk renegade status should you commence overt military operations against another House. A renegade house may be attacked by any other player with no other cause required. To avoid this, you must provoke your opponent or catch them attempting covert operations against you.
Once you have accrued adequate 'Feud Score' you may assault the enemy's bases with your troops. You must first overcome any defensive bases in place, such as fortresses. Once this is done you can destroy their defenceless facilities. Such a conflict only ends when both players decide enough is enough, or else one party is completely annihilated. War is expensive - each assault has a significant cost attached.
Before attacking a rival, even with legitimate cause, you should beware any formal alliances your enemy may have. The other houses in any alliance may well join in the conflict on your enemy's side. Of course, if they do attack you, your own alliance will be expected to assist you - and so the conflict escalates.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: The game is free for any House operating within up to two spheres, with a small cost to purchase membership and allow operations within additional spheres if desired. Membership is not necessary for success, since operating two spheres offers opportunities to generate ample profits alongside political or other activities.
Q: When does the game end?
The game is continuous and ends only for each individual player when they fail to sign in for an entire month of real time. Otherwise, you will maintain control of your dynasty from one generation to the next, indefinitely.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: Click on the 'Sign Up Now!' link and fill out your details. You will need an authorisation code to activate your account and verify that your email address is valid. Once submitted, your request will be processed and an email will be sent to the address you provide with your authorisation code. The first time you sign in to Imperium Nova you will be prompted to enter your authorisation code. After you do this once, your account is active and you may create your Imperial House and join the game in the galaxy to which you have been allocated.
Q: Why didn't I receive my authorisation code?
A: If an email doesn't arrive within a few minutes then make sure your junk mail filter hasn't inadvertently identified the mail as junk. If you still can't find the email, contact a GM and request your code be sent out manually.
Q: I've signed up successfully but I can't sign in to the game - I keep getting a session timeout message. What's going on?
A: Check that you have cookies enabled on the computer you are using. If cookies are not enabled you can't sign in.
Q: Can I choose which galaxy I play in?
A: No, since this would be open to exploitation by groups of players who know each other outside of the game. Every galaxy has a maximum number of players and a mixture of established and newer players. This balance is maintained by the GM and you must stick with the galaxy you are allocated when you sign up. There will be several galaxies with openings at any one time.
Q: What happens if I don't sign-in for a while?
A: You must sign in at least once every 28 days or all of your account details will be deleted. You will receive email warnings before this happens.
Q: Won't the experienced players in my galaxy just kill me off right away?
A: No. Attacking any House without a valid reason gives a House 'Renegade' status. Everyone in the galaxy is then free to wage war on the offending player if they wish, including the Emperor who is duty-bound to assist. Therefore unless you have deliberately provoked a powerful House, they are extremely unlikely to risk their own destruction by attacking you. Of course there will be exceptions - but you'd be very unlucky.
Q: How is technology handled in the game?
A: There is a simple numeric 'Tech Level' measure used to indicate the relative technology levels of each House. This increases with time based on level of research funding. Research becomes slower the further ahead of the galactic average you are, and correspondingly faster if you are well behind the leaders. High Tech Level gives efficiency advantages in many activities, including military operations and trading profits.
Q: Who is the Emperor?
A: Initially an experienced player from an existing Galaxy is assigned the role of Emperor in each new Galaxy. However, this position can be taken by any player, should a player become powerful enough to usurp the throne through political or military means.
Q: Is there space and starship combat in the game?
A: No. All combat is based on planetary infantry missions targeting the fortresses and facilities of your opponent.


Corrosion is inevitable, especially to structures that are made or built out of steel. Corrosion can happen in ship hulls, tanks, metal pipes, or pumps. Corrosion can happen to any structures or object and it can happen every day. If you are in a construction or industrial business, finding ways on how to control corrosion is vital. Not being able to control corrosion can be very dangerous and can harm the people working around the object or the structure. Failing to control corrosion can lead to accidents.
Protecting your pipes, structures, tanks, or machine from corrosion can save you a lot of money from repairs or buying new ones. Fortunately, if you search on the Internet today, you will discover that there are products being sold in the market that can protect your stuff from corrosion. But finding top quality products that provide corrosion control can be quite tough and challenging since there are so many of them out there. Spray-on coatings are one of the most popular corrosion control products available on the web or in the market today. There are essential things that you need to consider before you choose a particular spray-on coating or corrosion control product. Before you start looking for any spray-on coatings that prevent corrosion, it is critical that you conduct an online research first. Choose wisely and choose the best spray-on coatings only. For more useful reference, have a peek at this website here.
One of the most important thing that you need to consider when looking for spray-on coatings or corrosion control products is the price. Remember that just because the spray-on coating is expensive doesn't mean that it is already the best among the rest. If you search carefully on the web, you will find out that there are numbers of top quality spray-on coatings or corrosion control products out there that are being sold at a very affordable price. Aside from considering the price of the spray-on coating or the corrosion control product, it is also wise that you consider its quality. Read more great facts, visit website here.
In order for you to verify whether or not the corrosion control product that is being sold on the web is high-quality is to read comments or reviews written by users. Remember to avoid purchasing those spray-on coatings or corrosion control products that are made out of poor quality ingredients or substances. Find another corrosion control product if the previous one has received too many complaints or negative comments. Aside from receiving great number of positive reviews and feedbacks, you should also make sure that the spray-on coating has good ratings. And last but not the least, buy only spray-on coatings from reputable companies or stores. Please view this site https://itstillruns.com/paint-car-spray-paint-4923001.html for further details.

In Queens', all students are lucky enough to be able to live in college for three years, something not many colleges can boast! This means that you don't have to worry about going house hunting, and all your bills will be organised through college.
First years are allocated their accommodation over the summer holiday. For returning second and third years, students choose rooms after a ballot for positions, with all third years choosing before, second years. Due to the arrangement of rooms, you can also ballot in groups to make sure you get to live with your friends. The ballot is performed each year by the college's accommodation officer, and the subsequent selection of rooms is managed by the JCR.
In the second year, many students choose to share sets (two adjoining rooms with a bathroom), although this is not compulsory.
As the QJCR Accommodation Officer, it's my job to help with any problems or queries you might have with your accommodation. I sit on the Domus committee (to do with domestic matters in college), and can raise any issues you have about accommodation. I also send emails reminding you about accommodation policy and am trying to simplify things as much as possible over the course of this year.
If you have a maintenance problem, something broken or faulty in your room, kitchen, bathroom or corridor, it's best to directly get in touch with the maintenance department. You can fill in a maintenance request form at the Porters' lodge or do it online by following the link on the JCR homepage. Please include your name and room number. Maintenance are usually very quick at sorting out any problems you might have, but will prioritise urgent issues, so make sure you state if this is the case.
If something is missing from your room (a kettle, or a piece of furniture), if you have a problem with your bedder, if you would like to borrow a mattress for a guest or if you have any other issues concerning your room, your first point of contact should be housekeeping. The housekeeping office is in CC4, (the ground floor of Cripps) and is generally open 9-4 weekdays.
A timer system exists in all of the gyp rooms in college. This means that in order to use electrical appliances a button on the wall must be pressed and you will get power for around 10 minutes. It's a bit of a hassle when you want to cook something that takes longer than 10 minutes but they have been installed in response to council regulations and are consequently obligatory. The council has approved of the timer system and this system is being replicated in numerous other colleges. Please do not tamper with the timers.
If electrical appliances in your gyp room appear not to be working, before calling maintenance ensure that both the timer has been activated and the appliance itself is switched on at the wall socket, otherwise you will look very silly.
