This week Mamapedia.com asked Adopt-a-Pet.com to shed some light on what pet adoption can teach children. Adopting from a local animal shelter or rescue organization helps teach kids about personal responsibility, community service, and their ability to make an impact as they make choices in life. Those are just a few of the powerful character-shaping lessons that come with adopting a pet! There is no limit to the great lessons that you can teach and learn when you opt to adopt; the process of saving a life benefits all involved. Here is the story of Betsy and John who contemplated adopting a pet.

Q: IE sending empty HTTP request for iframe content IE intermittently sends a request missing nearly all the data. This is an intermittent problem, only sporadically encountered.
What might cause IE to send a request lacking nearly all the required values? Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting approach? Thanks!!
Our business application is an old classic asp application. Most users are still using Internet Explorer.
This problematic request is for the left menu, which is loaded in an iframe in Default.asp. Most of the time it works fine. But when it fails, the users see an empty space where the left menu should be displayed.
Tracing the network activity in the IE developer tools when it fails shows me that the request is lacking nearly all the data values expected. Here is the XML captured from such a request.

New Marine rotation arrives in Norway as Corps preps for a cold-weather fight

A new Marine rotation is expected in Norway in the coming weeks as the Corps continues to prep its forces for a potential cold-weather fight.
Roughly 700 Marines from 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, will be the primary unit deploying for the next Marine Rotational Force–Europe rotation through Norway, according to Lt. Col. Rob Shuford, a II Marine Expeditionary Force spokesman.
"They will officially conduct a transfer of authority with the previous unit, 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment sometime in early April," Shuford told Marine Corps Times.
This will be the Corps' fifth six-month rotation to Norway.
During the previous rotation, Marines focused on learning how to survive and fight in extreme cold-weather environments. The rotation also worked with partner forces on Arctic and mountain warfare. That will still be a focus for 1st Battalion during the opening salvo of their deployment.
"They will conduct a variety of cold weather training events, but will also shift their focus as the seasons change," Shuford said. "This rotation of troops allows us to continuously build our relationships with our Norwegian, and other regional partners, through a variety of training exercises and cultural exchanges."
Specific training plans are not available at this time, however, Shuford said.
He did add that the Marines are "scheduled to conduct cold weather training early in its deployment and to participate in military exercises and training events throughout Europe during the late spring and summer months."
The rotation is a good example of II MEF's support to U.S. European Command's mission on the continent, Shuford said.
In October and November, Norway hosted one of NATO's largest exercises, known as Trident Juncture, which involved roughly 40,000 military personnel from 31 nations and simulated NATO's response to an attack against one of its allies.

The training consisted of Marines with MRF-E exposed to freezing water to test their ability to keep calm and use proper methods to get out of water in case of breaking ice.

Major exercises like that, alongside the resurrection of the Navy's Norfolk-based 2nd Fleet to focus on the Atlantic Ocean, provide opportunity for the Corps.
"One of our focuses over the past few months has been increasing our staff integration with 2nd Fleet after they activated last year," Shuford said. "II MEF and 2nd Fleet did a lot of work towards this integration through Trident Juncture and have continued looking at ways the Navy-Marine Corps team can continue to enhance our natural partnership with future EUCOM exercises."
During the last Norway rotation with 3/8, Marines worked with the British Royal Air Force out of Holbeach Range, England, for close-air support training and also northern Sweden during Exercise Northern Wind.
The 3/8 rotation, which began in October and included 700 Marines, was the Corps' largest-yet deployment to Norway as part of its continuing rotational presence.
Russia argues the Marine Corps' beefed-up presence in Norway is an attack
Russia warned there would be consequences following Norway's decision to invite 700 Marines for training.
Previous Marine rotations were limited to roughly 330 personnel. The increase to 700 Marines was accompanied by the opening of a second training area closer to the Russian border in the Troms region.
The expanded U.S. footprint was agreed to by the Norwegian government over the summer, during a time of renewed tensions with Russia.

The three-week exercise tested the Marines' abilities to adapt to harsh weather conditions, move across long distances in the snow and push themselves to complete the mission despite austere situations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Elijah Abernathy/Released)
Kremlin officials warned that the increased presence of U.S. troops could be interpreted as an aggressive action, and warned of consequences.
In addition to the training opportunities, analysts also argue that the Corps' heel-to-toe footprint in Noway acts as a deterrence force against a possible Russian incursion.
U.S. forces have also been storing gear in a series of caves in Norway to equip a Marine Air-Ground Task Force if a war were to break out in the Europe.

Farnesyl analogues inhibit vasoconstriction in animal and human arteries
Jean-Baptiste Roullet, Hong Xue, Justin Chapman, Patrick McDougal, Chantal M. Roullet, David A. McCarron
Recent studies have suggested that nonsterol, mevalonate-derived metabolites are implicated in the control of vascular tone and blood pressure. Because of the metabolic importance of farnesyl pyrophosphate, a 15-carbon (C15) intermediate of the cholesterol pathway, the vasoactive properties of the farnesyl motif were investigated. Two farnesyl analogues were used: farnesol, the natural dephosphorylated form of farnesyl pyrophosphate, and N-acetyl-S-trans,trans-farnesyl-L-cysteine (AFC), a synthetic mimic of the carboxyl terminus of farnesylated proteins. Both compounds inhibited NE-induced vasoconstriction in rat aortic rings at micromolar concentration. Their action was rapid, dose dependent, and reversible. Shorter (C10) and longer (C20) isoprenols as well as N- acetyl-S-geranyl-L-cysteine (C10) did not inhibit the response to NE. In contrast, N-acetyl-S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteine (C20), exhibited vasoactive properties similar to AFC. It was further demonstrated that AFC and farnesol inhibited KCl and NaF-induced contractions, suggesting a complex action on Ca2+ channels and G protein-dependent pathways. Finally, the effect of farnesol and AFC on the NE response was reproduced in human resistance arteries. In conclusion, mevalonate-derived farnesyl analogues are potent inhibitors of vasoconstriction. The study suggests that farnesyl cellular availability is an important determinant of vascular tone in animals and humans, and provides a basis for exploring farnesyl metabolism in humans with compromised vascular function as well as for using farnesyl analogues as regulators of arterial tone in vivo.

To celebrate Somerset House's Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore! exhibition, launched in partnership with the Isabella Blow Foundation and Central Saint Martins, SHOWstudio honours the extraordinary life and wardrobe of the late fashion editor with a multidisciplinary project.
Blow's iconic wardrobe and hats are memorialised in a breath-taking fashion film by Ruth Hogben, which also features in the exhibition itself at Somerset House. Nick Knight's catalogue images, which show models including Liberty Ross and Alexia Wight clad in pieces from Blow's wardrobe, are also displayed. To celebrate Blow's popularity and influence within the fashion industry and beyond, Lou Stoppard conducted a variety of interviews with Blow's friends and followers, including longtime collaborators Philip Treacy, Amanda Harlech, Nick Knight and Daphne Guinness, her former Sunday Times Style boss Jeremy Langmead and her niece Harriet Verney. These talks - some long, some short - reflect the kindness and brilliance of Blow. Similarly, essays by a range of experts, including Simon Kyaga and Alex Fury, unpick and explore different themes pertaining to her life, from the relationship between mental illness and creativity to the role of the 'muse'.
I hope she's up there right now, laughing at us with a big smile.
She made assistants cry by saying, 'you bloody lesbian wearing flat shoes'.
Our Isabella Blow seasons begins!

Throughout the 2019 season, the Detroit Tigers will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of the 1984 World Series Champion team.
According to Tony Paul of the Detroit News, that celebration will start just prior to the Tigers' home opener as Guillermo "Willie" Hernandez has been selected to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
In 1984, Hernandez was lights out for the Tigers as he posted a 1.92 ERA with 32 saves on his way to being named the American League MVP.

RESONANCE N'GONI
N'GONI MUSIC
"It can be difficult to find n'goni music, so I have put together this selection of recordings of donso, kamale and djeli n'goni, together with brief comments about each recording. These albums are available online as downloads through itunes and I have included direct links to make them easier to find. If you like the recording please support the artists and purchase their work. I hope you enjoy them." Jeremy Cloake
The Palm Wine Ambassadors - Shady Cabal
In the tradition of cross-pollination that gave rise to Palm Wine music, The Palm Wine Ambassadors draw their musical inspiration from continents and archipelagos worldwide and bring it home, in this case to Byron Bay, Australia. This is their second album and was recently reviewed with high acclaim and given four stars by the Sydney Morning Herald. Track 6 features a custom made Resonance N'goni and there are several kora tracks. 'Plants get high' is my personal favourite from this recording and at only $7 for the whole album it is well worth the purchase. Well done fellas!
Abou Diarra - Koya
This is the latest release from n'goni legend Abou Diarra. This album is very well produced with a variety of n'goni playing styles and compositions. The kora virtouso Toumani Diabaté features of two of the tracks on this album including the popular love song djarabi. My personal favourite from this recording is the opening track Né Nana that has superb spacial composition and feel. Abou has several other albums so make sure you take the time to have a good listen to his work. He is a very talented n'gonifola, musician and composer.
Fra Fra Sound - Mali Jazz
If you like jazz with a strong African influence then this is another album to add to your collection. There are some interesting breaks and a variety of styles on this album with a good range of instruments typically found in jazz, plus a large variety of African instruments including Kora and Balaphon. The n'goni playing of Vieux Kanté also features on this album. It is a well produced recording with a definite appeal for lovers of world fusion music. My favourite track from this album is Sosomali.
Vieux Kanté - The Young Man's Harp
This is the highly anticipated new release from n'goni legend Vieux Kanté. Before his untimely death is 2005, Vieux had developed his own unique style of n'goni playing that featured a lot of harmonic notes. He was a blind man so this aspect no doubt had a large degree of influence within his style of playing and what he choose to play about. There is another album from Vieux called Sans Commentaire, which is also available on itunes. Both albums demonstrate his unique style. He was an amazing innovator and musician.
Mad Lenoir - Mama Afrika
If you like jazz with a strong African influence then this album is for you. There are some interesting breaks and styles of this album with a variety of instruments typically found in jazz, including a track featuring Moussa Diarra. The overall feel of this album is light and lively with a warmth typical of contemporary African music. It is a well produced recording with a definite appeal for lovers of world fusion music.
Sangaré Siriki - Bamanaya
This is a well recorded album and boasts a collection of very authentic donso n'goni patterns and chants, a lot of which you would hear in donso ceremonies today. There is another album from this artist available through itunes so make sure you have a listen to both albums. This particular album is my preferred recording, the vocals and mixed well in blanace with the n'goni. The track Bamba Djigui is my personal favourite as it has a hypnotic feel to it within the typical 'call and respond' style of donso chants. Watch out for the last track on this album!
Adama Coulibaly - Baba, Le Village
When a friend sent me a link to this album, it instantly become one of my favourites. The playing and singing is fantastic and is matched with excellent production which makes for all round great listening. Adama plays several donso patterns on this album, with a unique contemporary twist to them. Salif Keita also features on one of the tracks. Unfortunately the nature of the itunes store means it is not available in some countries as a download, however if you can find it I definitely recommend adding it to your collection! NB: Couloubally = Coulibaly.
Adamou Diallo - Donsoya
This is one of those albums that are hard to find, but well worth the search when you do. It has been well produced and as the title suggests, features some great donso playing. The overall quality of this recording is good, but as is often the case with donso recordings, the mix of the lead singer is quite loud in some places. The karagnan is soft and low in the mix, which some people prefer. My favourite track from this recording is the first piece, Soro sogo simbo. A great album to listen right through and to support with your purchase.
Sibiri Samake - Dambe Foli
As soon as I heard this album is instantly became one of my favourites. The recordings quality is excellent, with the n'goni clear and well balanced with the singing and karagnan. Sibiri Samake is a famous donso so as expected, the playing is especially good with some excellent improvisations that feature a lot of muting as is typical with donso styles, but also a lot of use of the harmonic technique, which is less common. If you like donso playing, definitely add this album to your collection, it is fantastic!
Mamadou and Vanessa - Wulajan
Around twenty five years ago, Mamadou Sidibé was one of the first people to expand the range of donso n'goni by adding extra strings, creating the popular kamale n'goni. This movement has meant the n'goni is now more accessible to others outside of the donso caste. The music of Mamadou and Vanessa is sometimes described as Mali blues and a lot of their music has that type of sound and feel. There are several albums by Mamadou and Vanessa and they are all well produced, with the n'goni mixed in the front of the composition. Their albums are great listening and make excellent additions to your world music collection.
Siaka Sidibé Ensemble, Sidikiba Keita - Hunter's harp music from Mali
If you like the dampened techniques common in donso n'goni playing styles, then you will definitely like this album. There is some great donso playing on this album and the supporting singers add a nice sense of place as they accompany certain songs and clap along for emphasis at some points. The n'goni comes through clear on the majority of tracks despite being tuned low and recorded with singing and percussion. Overall this album has successfully captured the peaks and lulls of donso arrangements and is another quality recording of authentic village music from Mali. Dundunin and An Tè Waa Dunya are my personal favourites from this recording.
Various Artists - Mali: Le chant de chasseurs (hunter's songs)
The great thing about some recordings is their ability to transport you to where the music comes from. Some of the tracks in this album have that sense of place. The titles of the tracks have been translated which helps with understanding the feel of this recording. There is a nice depth of field in this album that is partly created between the volume of lead singer and those responding to his chant and also some panning. The donso n'goni is bass rich and is played in the repetitive cycles typical of this style of n'goni music, creating a steady rolling trance feel. A great recording of village donso playing and an excellent album to support.
Adama Couloubally - N'goni fola
It is the simplicity of n'goni together with singing that makes this album one of my favourites. The n'goni playing is excellent and it has been recorded and produced very well, with dampened and harmonic techniques clearly audible. Adama plays both kamale and donso styles on this recording, which is great to hear from one track to the next. The tunings are different scales which adds variety to the album, whilst keeping the raw beauty of n'goni and singing. There is a great version of Djinna Musso on this album and together with Fantan are my favourite tracks from this recording. A definite must for your collection if you don't have it.
Alou Sinayogo - Volume 1
Another great recording of donso playing. This album is a pleasure to listen to, it is well mixed and the n'goni has been recorded well. There is some excellent playing on this album and it has instantly become one of my favourites after only listening once. As is common with donso recordings, watch out for the rifle samples of some of the tracks, they almost sound like a cannon in this recording! An interesting and rare feature of this donso recording is the guitar on the track Deli le yandoman yé. My personal favourties from this album are Ni maga kola and Souya ye ila. Definitely an album to purchase and add to your collection!
Sekouba Traoré - Volume 2
This is a great recording of the famous donso fola Sekouba Traoré. There are many recordings of Sekouba under the prolific Camara Productions label, so if you like this one be sure to listen to the rest. The majority of the recordings of Sekouba are quite long, some tracks being over twenty minutes in duration. They are excellent recordings to have if you are after authentic village donso n'goni playing. When listening make sure the volume is kept to a medium level as occasionally Sekouba's voice is much louder than the rest of the instruments.
Kokanko Sata - Kokanko Sata
This album features kamale n'goni together with balaphon, flute, djembe and other percussion. It is well produced with the n'goni high in the mix so it is clear even on tracks that feature a lot of other instruments. It is nice to hear a solo female singer together with the n'goni and this recording stands out for that reason. The n'goni playing is sometimes funky with a lot of dampened notes in the player's style. Overall this album has a nice steady groove that is easy and enjoyable to listen to. Available on itunes and well worth purchasing.
Paul Sidibé - Mon n'goni
This is a well produced album, the n'goni sounds clean and bright. This recording features a lot of other instruments including balaphon, djembe, flute and of course singing. All of the tracks have well balanced levels and the n'goni maintains prominence in the foreground of all of the recordings, despite some tracks featuring balaphon, flute and percussion. It's a great album and if you don't already own it, I suggest you purchase it.
Filifin, featuring N'gou Bagayoko - Siran
There is some funky n'goni playing on this album, together with guitar, some light percussion and singing. There are several tracks that are solo or duo n'goni which is nice if you want something that is just the sound of n'goni. The harmonic and dampened style n'goni techniques feature a lot in this album which makes for interesting listening and adds to the overall funky feel of this recording. Gotta love the album cover!
Bassekou Kouyaté & N'goni Ba - Segu Blue
In recent years Bassekou Kouyaté and N'goni Ba have risen to new heights of popularity in the world music scene, and for very good reason. This album features some very good djeli n'goni playing together with rich vocals and a large variety of other African musical instruments. There are several recordings available from this group and they are all well produced. A definite recommendation for your world music collection and a must to see perform live if you get the opportunity.
Andra Kouyaté & Seke Chi - Saro
This is another excellent quality recording of djeli n'goni together with a large variety of other musical instruments. This album features several guest artists that include Mamadou and Vanessa, Bassekou Kouyaté and a track with Haruna Samake on kamale n'goni. With sixteen tracks, there is good variety to this album.
Abdoulaye Traoré - Abdoulaye Traoré
This is one of my personal favourites. The donso playing on this album is great and overall the album is very well produced. One of the reasons I like this album so much is because it has an excellent balance between the volume on the n'goni, singing and the percussion, making it very easy to listen to and enjoy. Often I find the singing on donso recordings to be too loud at certain points, so it was nice to discover this album. Abdoulaye has a great voice and the singers who accompany him respond with a warmth and richness that adds a beautiful feel to this recording. Watch out for the rifle samples on some tracks!
John Ellis - Waking Dreams
This is a great recording if you are after relaxing n'goni music for a meditation, yoga or massage practise, or simply to unwind at the end of a long day. It has been composed and recorded specifically for those purposes. This is one of my nephews favourite recordings and he often listens to it to help him go to sleep. The tracks are long and develop well with the subtle introduction of shakers, xylophone and flutes. A great recording for your n'goni music collection.
Yeshe - Roots & Wings
Talented multi-instrumentalist and singer Yeshe brings together a variety of world musical instruments with this recording in a variety of styles. Together with n'goni, this album also features m'bira, djembe, bass, didjeridu and and several other instruments. As well as a large selection of sounds and styles, Yeshe has also brought together several guest musicians including guitarist Harry Manx. With uplifting lyrics and soulful grooves this album has appeal from many perspectives.
Namogodine - Carnaval De Brousse
This world fusion album features some great n'goni playing, with an excellent version of Sirabakele. Together with n'goni, this album brings together guitar, kora, accordian, flute and several other instruments. It captures a variety of styles from laidback grooves, soulful songs and as the title suggests, there are tracks with an upbeat carnaval feel. Make sure you check out their other album Car Naît de Voyages, which has a great version of the classic Burkina song Faso Denou. A great album and an excellent addition to your n'goni music collection.
Burkina Faso: Songs of Praise of The Senoufo Tagoua Hunting Fraternity
This is an good quality recording of donso playing from Burkina Faso. There is some great playing on this recording and as is common with these types of recordings, it provokes an clear sense of place, transporting the listener to the location. Overall the n'goni has been captured well and is clearly audible. My personal favourite piece from this recording is the track Nàma fàga tu. I highly reccommend adding this recording to your n'goni music collection, put on your headset, turn up the volume and be transported!

It's a very subjective topic that poses questions like….
Is the team stacked with talent and anyone could coach that team and win?
Are injuries a factor throughout the season?
Do we purely measure a coach on overall wins and championships?
What data is really out there that we can say a coach was fully responsible for vs a player?
So many questions and really a lot of it comes down to opinions rather than data based evidence.
Here is an attempt at using data for what I deem to be 3 important measures of a coach's performance and how this year's crop of NBA coaches ranks overall.
How well has a team performed this season and how many wins are they now projected to have vs what was predicted in pre-season.
Rather than just looking at total wins, we need to look at how many wins were actually projected for a team. It's no good saying a coach has done a poor job when there team was projected to only win 30 games based on the talent of the roster.
If a team was projected to win 30 games and they are now headed for 40 wins that is exceeding expectation and should be seen as a great job by the coach.
How a coach develops players, particularly in their younger years is a critical component of coaching.
I have measured this by taking ESPN's real plus-minus (RPM) data (http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/page/1) which is a measure of an individual player's effectiveness on court and is a reasonable way of then comparing player's performance as we have one single number to compare players against.
I look at players under the age of 25 who have played 30 games this season and average at least 5 minutes per game.
I have taken last year's RPM numbers and compared them with this years to see how players have developed year on year. A player peak years are usually somewhere between 26-28 years old, so in their younger year's is where we should see progression and development.
For Rookies, I have simply taken this year's RPM numbers if they qualify for games played and minutes.
What I try to measure here is how well a coach is developing younger players that are a part of the regular rotation. Discounting players who are playing very limited minutes or bouncing from the D-League back to the NBA, as these players are more in the hands of development and D-League coaches and are not NBA level players.
This can be seen as the most subjective of the 3 measures in terms of the coach's impact. It is often said that you find out what a coach is all about in the last few minutes of a tight game.
There are many decisions coaches make in the final minute of a tight game, and these directly impact the overall result. Clock management, substitutions, play calling, timeouts are all in the control of a coach and can be the difference between winning and losing.
To come up with an overall ranking of coaches, I didn't just want to rank coaches 1 to 30 as it wouldn't show the proportion of how good of a job some coaches are doing and how poorly others are.
At the end of the day winning matters and it's always going to be the most important measure of how a coach has performed. Is 60% the right number? No, it's my opinion but I feel it's in the ball park for how a coach is going to be judged when it's all said and done.
To get to a final ranking, as well as giving a weight to the 3 measures I have also normalized the numbers (Nerd Alert) to spit out a rating out of 100 for each coach.
I have also allowed for injuries in the final ranking as this is a major factor in the final outcome for a team. An injury factor is applied to the 1st coaching measure of Pre-Season predicted wins vs Current projected wins before calculating the final ranking.
Looking at the results they seem to give a pretty accurate ranking vs public/expert opinion.
If you listen to "NBA Experts" the top names you will hear for this year's coach of the year are Mike D'Antoni (HOU), Greg Popovich (SAS), Brad Stevens (BOS), Quin Snyder (UTA), Erik Spoelstra (MIA) and Scott Brooks (WAS) all of these coaches are inside my top 10.
My rankings however show there is a clear top 3 this year with D'Antoni (HOU), Brooks (WAS) and Popovich (SAS) leading the way.
Rick Carlisle of Dallas coming in 25th.
This was the biggest oddity for me as the eye test would say Rick is doing a fantastic job with a pretty mediocre roster. Looking at the injury data, I found Dallas was ranked as the 7th most impacted team by injuries, so this is certainly a big factor.
Secondly the pre-season expectations for the Mavs was probably a little too high in hindsight, I have no doubt the "Dallas is always competitive" being a factor in an inflated pre-season projection.
Overall it appears as though the model has done a pretty reasonable job at ranking the performance of coaches this year with a clear top 3 to choose from. If we are handing out awards it goes to Mike D'Antoni of Houston who is highly likely to receive the actual award come seasons end.

CH. 14: Darkest Hour

Post subject: Re: CH. 14: Darkest Hour
"Well, I've got a few scratches," Shima agrees. "If you've finished eating, we can go for a walk. It's good for one's health."
When Gobax is ready for walkabout, and they're on their way without eavesdroppers, the dwarf quietly relates, "I offered to help Ne-Chanz to a job.On completion, someone's supposed to tell us where to get the two women that stole from him and some of the rest of you, too. I got damaged and made the mistake of going to the temple for healing. They wanted me to do another job that I've changed my mind about but that means some spell they put on me cut in and apparently my luck gets worse every day. Oh and the bastards confiscated all my special weapons." Shima shrugs. "Now, what's your story?"

Initiate Immortal
Tulbas Erogund (Tower of Wayreth, Unknown Floor on AT 15)
Wand in hand, Tulbas leads Selowen through the rest of this floor without further incident. Although along the way, they hear sounds from both above and below them of people yelling or screaming, minor explosions, and even the roar of beasts. Eventually, they make their way to the stairs leading down to the next floor.
HorizonsDream
Kendra lets out a small sigh, and goes about making breakfast for the both of them. Once done, she eats in silence, then wakes up Sadron after she is done eating. "There is breakfast if you want it," she says. "I have to go."
BishGada
Tulbas peeks down the stairs. Verifying the noises are far away from them he starts descending and once the floor below is visible looks for a place they can hide, at least partially while considering their next move. "How is your leg?" he whispers to Selowen.
Kendra Synclair (2527 Market Street, Greylock's Gorgeous Gems)
"Fine," Sadron says simply, getting up. "Have fun bringing glory to the Dragon Queen's name." Not even looking at her, he starts for the kitchen.
As they are descending the stairs, Selowen says, "Same as before. Still busted up."
When they reach the bottom, they find themselves in a very large room where a battle has clearly taken place recently. There are burn marks on floors and walls, furniture has been overturned and scorched and there are a few bodies strewn about. Some are wearing white robes, some red robes and other black robes. It looks like it was quite the fight, but it's all quiet now.
Kendra frowns deeply as she watches Sadron's back, then lets out a sigh and leaves. What else was she going to do? She heads to the armorer, as she knows that the armor that she doesn't really want is ready.

somewhere in the aether
The goblin finishes his meal, thanks Shima and walks with the dwarf after, speaking on the sensitive subjects only when he can be sure they're not overheard. The ones that stole from us?... I already found them.. they are part of the group that... that captured that renegade cleric about 10 days ago... They're somewhere in the noble district now... and agents of the church, no less...
As the conversation rolls on he becomes more curious, Oh... so their price for healing you was this job? If it wasn't something you were willing to do, why did you take it? There are herbalists and natural healers in town... Even I have some skill in binding wounds... Wait, they put a spell on you to ruin your 'luck'? What, like a curse or something?
"Renegade cleric? One from the dragon-temple?" queries Shima, visibly surprised. "No, two jobs. One was to help Ne-Chanz. Do that job and we get information on where the two women are. In the course of that, I got fairly badly damaged, so I thought the temple would fix me for nothing but they gave me another job. It's the second one that I subsequently decided not to do. OK, I thought I could do that and then they wouldn't fins me in the city. Or I could leave the city. Nothing has really shown up so far, but I have this nagging feeling that bad luck is accumulating for me. I suppose you could call that a curse, yes. Whatever it was, it was a spell cast on me before the cure spell."
Haahque
The days when Haahqae would cheerfully greet the new day with a big smile at the waitress and ask her what was on the menu for breakfast before figuring out who he could help with their problems were long behind him. These days he merely entered the common room, barely registered the other guests and ate his meal; the same thing as the day before; in solitude, not speaking to others unless they spoke to him first. Occasionally his old personality would surface and he would make an effort to be friendly, but usually his distrust from his betrayals, grief from losing Ismene and guilt for the misplaced blame left him sulking in a corner as he ate.
Today was a usual day.
Haahqae was often uncertain of if he should strike back at the army or if that was just going to make things worse for everyone, as usual, and he should just wallow in despair. His practical side told him that wallowing wasn't going to solve anything, but it hurt to even think sometimes after all that had happened. Still, it would feel great to punch the smile off a baaz if he was allowed. Neither method seemed to be helpful and both just drove him further into despair.
I suppose I should try thinking strategy. I've been pretty cowardly lately, not very heroic at all. I say I'm a hero and that I can do anything, but I've been avoiding the places that could maybe help me out for far too long. Maybe I've grown too reliant on invisibility. Just because the keep and the manor are protected from invisibility doesn't mean I can't go there anymore, I used to be really good at remaining out of sight even before I had magical aid. I should go learn some more about my enemy, for if I don't know what I'm up against, I cannot overcome it. Would you like to see the manor or the keep today?
Haahqae could strike a blow at the soldiers, at least with a little planning and utilizing his failing resources he'd wager he could still cause some substantial damage to the army's rations, and with winter on its way and way too many soldiers-per-farmer in the city, any damage he causes to the army's supplies would create plenty of headaches for whomever is responsible for feeding them all. However, if he did this, chances are the stupid brutes would just steal from the unprotected citizens of the city. Which is pretty much the opposite of what Haahqae wishes to achieve; fed soldiers with starving honest folk was already far too common in this town.
But is the alternative to do nothing? That can't be right. Perhaps a scouting mission will give him ideas, or at least take his mind of despairing things for a few moments of peace.
Haahqae (Steel Tankard Inn, Room 15)
'Both of those places sound dangerous,' Miracle comments. 'It might be a better idea to find some food and someplace warm and wait out the winter.' As a lower animal that only recently acquired sapience, Miracle had a hard time grasping such abstract concepts like 'revenge.' She still viewed everything through the lens of eating, sleeping, and living long enough to create offspring. This meant avoiding predators that were stronger and more numerous than oneself at all costs.
Kendra Synclair (Osred's Armorer Shop)
It is around Second Watch by the time Kendra reaches the armor shop. She steps inside and encounters the same man who 'measured' her for he armor originally, Osred. Osred now worked exclusively for the army and outfitted all of the troops. "Ah, it's you. Well, you're prompt, I'll give you that," he says.
He steps into the back for a few minutes and when he returns, it's with a full suit of masterwork studded leather armor. The armor has been dyed black and custom fitted just for her. On the chest is the sigil of Takhisis, the five-headed dragon. On the right arm is a red ring resembling an armband, to signify she is part of the Red Dragonarmy, specifically. As dark and deadly as it appears, it's the most beautiful craftsmanship Kendra has ever seen. Not even the Seekers provided her with such well made armor before.
Despite the fact that the armor is probably some of the most beautiful armor she has ever seen, Kendra isn't sure she really wants to wear it. "It's beautiful," she says as she takes the armor from him gently. "You did a fine job," she adds. ~Even though you felt me up when doing the measurements,~ she thinks to herself.
What? Renegade of the dragon-queen? No, that cleric that was captured served another diety. He was a Dwarf. I'm surprised you didn't hear that, everyone has been talking about it, theh even made announcements about his upcoming execution... So they put a spell on you, but so far it's just an ominous 'feeling?' And it only came i to effect because you wouldn't do the second job?
Suddenly Grubnick recalls the talk he had with the half-elf girl...
"All correct. What dwarven deity would that be?" asks Shima, avoiding commenting on his non-relationship with other dwarves. " And why the interest?"
"I was being polite." Tulbas growls quietly to himself. Nevertheless he hands the wand to Selowen, "Keep watch. Shoot anything black robed. I'll give you a quick check." he says while kneeling and adjusting her binds to hold the leg a bit better. Although he is a bit nervous, and Selowen comment didn't help much, it is obvious he is working gently and caring. "Lean on the wall and let the leg rest. I'll quickly search the bodies for anything they may help us survive." He says and does, also looking at the room for the exits.
(OOC: I'm surprises mages don't hold their books on themselves. I though Jinali would have one and Tulbas will be able to give it to Haaque.)
What? Dwarven diety? I don't remember saying it was a Dwarven god... i'm not even sure if they announced who he followed. I only mentioned him because the people you and Ne-Chanz were searching for were among those that captured him.
He seems surprised by the dwarf's last question, Oh... I dunno. The dragon queen has changed everything around here. The reason i'm interested is that I just want to get a real idea of how the church operates. I'm running out of coin and i need work. They'll just tell me what i want to hear. I figure since you're new to town like me, and we kind of worked together once, and you have had actual dealings with the church that I could get an un-tinted view of how they deal with 'employees' from you.
[Jaded: Would the capture of Delharn not be public enough that Shima would know most of this? I feel like there is a lot of unnecessary confusion so far in this conversation.]

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst looking to keep those convicted of sexual assault out of U.S.
Iowa Republican inviting bipartisan support for bill now in Congress

Oct. 6, 2021 4:01 pm
U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst speaks to members of the media on May 22 in Springville. The Iowa Republican said Wednesday she has introduced a bill calling for the deportation of individuals seeking to enter the United States who have been convicted of violent sexual crimes. (The Gazette)
DES MOINES — Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault, has proposed federal legislation calling for the deportation of individuals seeking to enter the United States who have been convicted of violent sexual crimes.
Speaking to Iowa reporters Wednesday, the Red Oak Republican said the U.S. immigration system is strained to its limits, which has made it difficult to properly vet people entering the country — particularly those who have been charged or convicted of sexual crimes.
While Democrats and Republicans disagree over many policy areas, she hoped consensus could be developed to make "sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence" a disqualifying act for entry, including "those given the temporary status of 'humanitarian parole.' "
Ernst said her proposed "BE GONE" Act, or the Better Enforcement of Grievous Offenses by un-Naturalized Emigrants, gives law enforcement the ability to deport those who have been convicted of sexual violent crimes or sexual assault and who are trying to immigrate.
"It's not in law right now," she said during a teleconference. "Right now, the current laws on the books don't effectively target those who have been convicted of sexual assault and sexual violence. We desperately need to update these laws to make sure we block sexual predators from immigrating to the U.S."
Specifically, she said, it would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 to include sexual assault and other forms of aggravated sexual violence as a disqualifying crime for foreign applicants for residence in the United States, and deportable for non-citizen resident immigrants.
"A key challenge and easy fix we must address immediately is ensuring sexual predators and criminals are identified, stopped and deported," said Ernst. "This measure is a common-sense solution to modernize the immigration system and combat sexual violence and those seeking to exploit our laws."
Currently, Ernst has 11 Republican co-sponsors for the bill and is hoping to attract bipartisan support.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, one of the co-sponsors, said the act would explicitly add sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence to the definition of "aggravated felony" in the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under the act, individuals who commit aggravated felonies are deportable from the U.S. and subject to expedited removal.

"The crisis at our southern border has gotten out of control, with record-breaking illegal border crossings in recent months," he said. "On top of that, there are circumstances where we're letting folks into our country who have not been properly vetted.
"We should not allow sexual predators into our country. Plain and simple. This common-sense legislation will provide additional federal protections to help keep predators off our streets."

Now here's the weird part. This works perfectly fine on desktop chrome and firefox. But on mobile chrome and edge, it does something strange. It redirects from example.com to app.example.com. I can't figure out what it is. I've tried clearing the browser cache and playing with nginx settings but nothing helps.

A: So the browser inconsistency turned out to be just cache. Even though I cleared the browser cache, it was still caching the 301 redirects. Apparently the best way to bust a redirect cache is to append a random query string to the url.
In terms of the wrong redirect, a friend pointed out that if you don't specify a handler for a naked domain, then the first subdomain is used which is what was happening here for http requests. https was fine as I was listening to that. I just added another server block on port 80 for the naked domain. And that solved the problem.

A: You are missing a server for example.com on port 80. So, any browser that connects using http to example.com will use the default server (which happens to be the app.example.com server block).
You should change the last http server block to:
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name www.example.com example.com;
    return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}


Be prepared for a bit of humor, dear reader, as I share lines spoken to me by loved ones.
-I wish I had your passion without your problems.
-I wish I had your confidence without your conflicts.
-I wish I had your courage without your crisis.
-I wish I had your depth without your pain.
-I wish I had your beauty without your brokenness.
-I wish I had your body without the exercise.
-I wish I had your transparency without your truths.
-I wish I had your walk with God without the past that's forged it.
-I wish I had your gifts without your griefs.
-I wish I had your heart without your heartaches.
-I wish I had your character without the development.
We affirm, with readiness, the favorable qualities; we want them, desire them, and even pray for them.
But pronounced qualities are often qualified through pronounced trials. The most beautiful traits are fostered and forged, generally, through the most disagreeable and staunch trials, struggles, and disciplines.
None of us are standing in line begging God for these.
I become more and more convinced that the most beautiful and observable awareness of God springs from "brokenness" before man which is lifted up to God.
This is where God's glory stands unquestionably unquestioned.
It is God and God alone who sufficiently survives and revives a testimony out of our brokenness for His glory alone.
It is for God's glory alone that we pass through the other side of our "Red Sea" struggle and see His hand drawing back the tide with a single word.
God has so much to do with our brokenness, dear reader, and so little to do with our "perceived" greatness.
He doesn't need any of the latter ... and He's interested in engaging with the former.
Brokenness is about a removal of pride, position, rank, and perception.
And coming to terms with who we are ... apart from God.
It's also about coming to terms and accepting who we are "with" God.
Brokenness is our greatest strength, asset, and ally.
When we become comfortable with its presence in our lives, and make it our work to expose it instead of hide it, God reveals Himself through our lives and does something very special with us.


The Master Environmental Geography focuses on the relationship between humans and their ecosystem. Environmental challenges can be approached from different perspectives, which are analysed while taking spatial dynamics into account. You will examine the consequences of environmental changes on both local and global economies and study international climate change governance.
The Master's in Environmental Geography focuses on human-ecosystem interactions and is well-placed to throw light on the daunting environmental challenges facing our planet. It could be argued that we have gone beyond the earth's carrying capacity and are approaching planetary boundaries. Other arguments hold that human ingenuity will equip us to deal with new challenges in the future. This programme focuses on the relationship between humans and their ecosystems. This is done by taking a strong spatial perspective and researching the impact of both global and local environmental change on humans.
The Master's in Environmental Geography will begin with a broad coverage of all the key issues and will then focus on climate change governance – the causes and impacts, politics, policies and measures that can deal with climate change. This programme will examine the causes of climate change and will focus on the dynamics of energy and land-use challenges. It will also consider the impacts of climate change and focus on changing hydrological regimes and their effect on global biodiversity, food, water, livelihoods and infrastructure at local and global levels.
and local level (the opportunities and limits of action in specific contexts, whether urban or rural).
Geography is all about studying people, space and place - and Amsterdam is the perfect place to do that. First of all the city of Amsterdam itself is the perfect location and junction to study, explore, experience geography. Secondly, the University of Amsterdam, a major research university, offers a Master's programme taught by one of the highest ranked geography departments in continental Europe. Last but not least, the Graduate School of Social Sciences (GSSS) of Amsterdam provides a vibrant and international academic community. The GSSS values diversity in both research and academic content, academic staff and student population.
The lecturers in the Master's track Environmental Geography are all active researchers involved in the Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research (AISSR), Amsterdam research centres such as Centre of Urban Studies, IMES, ACCESS EUROPE and numerous international research networks and projects. They bring this research expertise and their networks to the programme.
This track builds on cutting-edge research projects from the related research group of the Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research. Insights from these research projects are integrated into the main thematic course, and the Master's thesis projects which take place in the second semester of the programme.
This makes the group of students very diverse and results in an international classroom with attractive group discussions as all participants bring in their specific background and experiences.
The programme is very high-level and demanding, and we expect students to devote full attention to their studies during the entire year. Students are actively involved in the content of the programme by organising track seminar sessions, but are also continuously challenged by involved academic staff to explore the boundaries of human geography.
Environmental Geography is a track of the accredited degree programme Human Geography. After successful completion of this programme, you will receive a legally accredited Master's degree in Human Geography and the title Master of Science (MSc).
