Share All sharing options for: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Brooklyn Nets: game preview and how to watch
The shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers head on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets. This game feels like a formality given the Cavs' lack of bodies in the frontcourt. Let's just hope the Cavs can get through this one with no further injuries.
Who: Cleveland Cavaliers (9 - 6) vs. Brooklyn Nets (10 - 5)
Where: Barclays Center — Brooklyn, NY
When: 7:30 p.m. EST
TV: Bally Sports Ohio, Bally Sports App, NBA League Pass
Spread: Cavs +11
Opposing blog: NetsDaily
Expected Cavs starting lineup: Darius Garland, Ricky Rubio, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade, Kevin Love
Cavs injury report: Evan Mobley (OUT - sprained elbow), Collin Sexton (OUT - meniscus), Lauri Markkanen (OUT - health & safety protocols), Jarrett Allen (OUT - non-covid illness), Lamar Stevens (OUT - right ankle sprain), Kevin Love (PROBABLE - health and safety protocols)
Expected Nets starting lineup: James Harden, Patty Mills, Bruce Brown, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin
Nets injury report: Nic Claxton (OUT - non-covid illness), Joe Harris (OUT - ankle), Paul Millsap (OUT - personal)
THREE THINGS TO WATCH
Can Isaac Okoro build on the offensive success of last game? Twelve points on 4 of 8 shooting with 5 rebounds and 3 assists generally aren't something to write home about. That said, this was clearly steps in the right direction given how poorly things went last week.
Okoro is special on the defensive end of the floor, but he still needs to provide something offensively to be a positive contributor. His most NBA-ready offensive skill is attacking the basket as he's finishing 70% of his attempts at the rim which is up from the 58% he finished last season. Okoro went 3 for 3 on shots at the rim on Monday and was able to draw two shooting fouls.
Being able to consistently attack the basket in the half-court is the quickest way for him to become passable offensively. Playing in a starting lineup with now Rubio and potentially Love, if he returns, could open up more lanes for him to cut or dribble drive. We'll see if he's able to keep the momentum going in the right direction and build off of what he did well against Boston.
The Cavaliers' streaky shooters. It's almost unrealistic to expect the Cavs to compete with this front line if Harden and/or Durant are on the floor. The only way they will be able to stay in this game, or any of the games with Mobley and Sexton out will be by getting timely shooting from one or more of their streaky shooters. Fortunately, Rubio, Love, Markkanen (when he returns), Garland, and Cedi Osman all have the ability to get hot from behind the arc for short periods.
Shooting is the great equalizer in the NBA. The Cavs haven't been a great three-point shooting team this season (34.1% which is 18th in the league) despite some memorable outings from Rubio, Garland, and Osman. They will need to become a good to great shooting team if they want to stay competitive.
The Cavs will to win. The Cavs have been able to steal two games they had no business winning earlier this year through sheer willpower. They've embraced J.B. Bickerstaff's next man up philosophy and have stayed competitive in every game except the loss at Phoenix. But we've never seen them this shorthanded before.
Nobody would blame the Cavs if they completely gave up on this game given the injuries and who they're playing. But I don't think this team will do that. At least not yet.
It'll be interesting to see how much longer this team can buy into the next man up philosophy tonight given everything that's going against them.

Nice little retro bar, fitted out with all manner of ever so slightly kitschy 1970's-80's bits and pieces. The downstairs room looks like they've looted their gran's apartment and hidden it all in the basement. A fun and casual venue with a fine selection of regional beers/cider on tap, a good range of bottled beers, toxic spirits and Italian wines. The munchies are taken care of with a selection of Polish tapas style dishes served on wooden boards and in small glass pots. If they have them, try the pierogi with venison filling or a Polish regional cheese board. Bombard the barman with questions about the cheeses, he likes to think of himself as a bit of a regional cheese expert. We may well be seeing him on Mastermind in the near future.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in New Zealand with Prince George on their first official tour with the eight-month-old prince. One of the big questions I am commonly asked is how easy is it to travel with children. My answer: very! Having flown nearly 100 flights with children aged between a few months to teenagers I have come up with a few basic tips.
Explain to them what is about to happen and what you expect of their behaviour.
Show them the type of aeroplane they are going on and where they are going. Then, at the airport they can have fun trying to spot their aircraft.
If you can, include them in the planning of the trip, i.e. ask them what they would like to see / do once they are there and what would they like to pack.
Make a flight record book, for this get a small note book and divide each page into 5 columns. Then you can keep a record of the airline, where you flew from and to, the distance and get the captain to sign it. It makes a wonderful record for when they are older.
Try not to pack toys that have lots of small parts, such as Lego, which are likely to get dropped and lost under a seat.
Pack a few surprises for the children so that if they have been good they can open them up at certain intervals during the flight. They also make wonderful bribes.
If you have a child that is recently out of nappies consider taking one of those water proof stick-on sheets that you can get for children who are learning to stay dry at night. Then, if you get stuck with a long period where the seat belt sign is on you can cover their seat with it. Therefore, if they have an accident their seat stays dry.
Pack a pair of pjs. When it is bedtime (wether you are changing their routine or sticking to their usual one) it will help establish the thought that they should be resting.
I had a family that would pack a small tupperware box with things like blue tac, tin foil, paper clips, ribbon, tiny note pads, mini crayons, pom-poms etc so that their children could make a little creation. If items got dropped it didn't matter as they were all replaceable.
Take a small water flask that you can fill up (once through security) so there are no worries about spilt drinks.
Put children on the inside seats, that way they can't get out without you noticing and if you have a hot drink they aren't being passed over the child.
When you get on the plane immediately switch your watch to the local time of your destination and then try to match yours and your child's schedule to it.
When you arrive at your final destination or back home, make sure you always eat your meals at the right time, even if it means waking a child up and then letting them go back to sleep.


KPR School of Business was the first to have Preparatory programme in the year 2014. The programme was conducted for 4 days from 21.1.2014 to 24.1.2014. The BSchool offered this programme as a value added course for their MBA – Operations Management students. The programme coordinator from the institution end was Ms. S. Gayathri. Their vast and beautiful campus is located at Arasur in the Avinashi road, Coimbatore. In spite of the limited strength, this programme had its own liveliness due to the participation and involvement of young professionals and faculty members. After 4 days, students were excited about their exposure to wide areas of international logistics, procurement and warehousing.

Execution of Jews in Melnytsya
Sand quarry (1); Slaughter house (2)
About 1,500
Volodymyr K., born in 1929, remembered: "There was a Jewish woman who went out of the ghetto and she was killed. Her corpse was in my garden, I saw her. She wanted to escape and she ran towards Ukrainian houses. She was shot in her back and her corpse remained several days on the ground. The Germans did not let us burry her. It was done on purpose, so other Jews fear being punished if they attempted to escape. She was about 30 years old. She ran 300-400 meters before her body was shot to the ground." (Testimony n°1455, interviewed in Melnytsya, on April 28th, 2012)
Melnytsia is located about 56 km north of Lutsk. The first records of the Jewish community dates back to the 16th century. In 1897, over 60% of the total population was Jews (1,599 Jews lived in the town). The majority of Jews were engaged in trade or lived off handcraft. Between the two wars the village was under Polish rule. There were several synagogues in the village. Zionist movements operated in the town until 1939, when Melnytsya was annexed by the Soviet Union, and all religious and cultural institutions and movements were banned. In 1939 until1941, many Jewish refugees arrived from Poland. On the eve of the war 1,000 Jews remained in the village. The Germans occupied the village on June 26th, 1941.
The Germans occupied the village on June 26th, 1941. Shortly after the occupation two anti-Jewish aktions were conducted. In early and late July 1941, 56 and 280 Jewish men (respectively) were killed under the pretext of being communists or Komsomols. They were shot outside the village supposedly by a police Battalion which stationed in Holoby at that time. In late summer-early fall 1941, all Jews were registered and marked with yellow distinguishing badges; however, they kept living in their homes until August 1942. They were forced to pay constant ransoms to the Germans. The ghetto which had about 1,200 Jews, included those who were brought from the nearing villages. It was located on two streets and was fenced in with barbed wire. It was guarded by local police day and night. On September 3rd, 1942, the ghetto was liquidated and the remaining Jews were shot at the sand quarry southwest of the village, in the direction of Holoby. Before being marched to the execution site they were gathered at the meeting point. According to an eyewitness, interviewed by Yahad, the Jews were forced to disrobe completely, get inside the pit and lie down facing the ground and then, the shooters would fire. The execution was conducted by German Gendarmerie assisted by local police. Only few Jews managed to hide and to survive the Holocaust by joining partisans groups.
Holocaust Atlas of Lithuania
Los alemanes ocuparon el pueblo el 26 de junio de 1941. Poco después de la ocupación se llevaron a cabo dos aktions antijudías. A principios y finales de julio de 1941, 56 y 280 hombres judíos (respectivamente) fueron asesinados bajo el pretexto de ser comunistas o Komsomols. Fueron fusilados fuera del pueblo supuestamente por un batallón de la policía que estaba presente en Holoby en ese momento. A finales del verano y principios del otoño de 1941, todos los judíos fueron registrados y marcados con insignias distintivas amarillas; sin embargo, siguieron viviendo en sus casas hasta agosto de 1942. Fueron obligados a pagar constantes rescates a los alemanes. El gueto, que contaba con unos 1.200 judíos, incluía a los que eran traídos de los pueblos cercanos. Estaba ubicado sobre dos calles y estaba cercado con alambre de púas. Estaba vigilado por la policía local, día y noche. El 3 de septiembre de 1942, el gueto fue clausurado y los judíos restantes fueron fusilados en la cantera de arena ubicada al suroeste del pueblo, en dirección a Holoby. Antes de ser conducidos al sitio de ejecución, fueron reunidos en el punto de encuentro. Según un testigo presencial, entrevistado por Yahad, los judíos eran obligados a desvestirse completamente, entrar en la fosa y tumbarse mirando al suelo y entonces, los tiradores les disparaban. La ejecución fue llevada a cabo por la Gendarmería alemana con la ayuda de la policía local. Sólo unos pocos judíos consiguieron esconderse y sobrevivir al Holocausto uniéndose a grupos de partisanos.

HomeNewsCommunity News'Stilettos & Spurs' kicks-off new year at CTFAC
'Stilettos & Spurs' kicks-off new year at CTFAC
May 22, 2019 jhorton Community News 0
SPECIAL TO THE FLASH
STEPHENVILLE (May 14, 2019) – "Stilettos & Spurs" is the theme of Cross Timbers Fine Arts Council's (CTFAC) 39th annual Membership Meeting and BBQ. The event also kicks-off a new season of art exhibits, free concerts and shows, and a plethora of classes and workshops at CTFAC. Festivities begin Friday, June 7 at the Tarleton State University Ballrooms from 6-9pm. Entertainment this year is provided by CB Sutton and The Outcast Band. The meal is provided by Natty Flats Smokehouse. Admission is $40 per ticket or free with your up-to-date CTFAC membership.
Founded in 1980, the Cross Timbers Fine Arts Council is a non-profit fine arts presenter organization. Each year CTFAC sponsors or co-sponsors a variety of events that include music, theater, dance and art exhibits. CTFAC also sponsors ballet, youth concerts, and art camps, many of which serve rural schools in the eight-county area of Bosque, Comanche, Eastland, Erath, Hamilton, Hood, Palo Pinto and Somervell.
The last year brought the departure of long-time executive director Julie Smith and welcomed former board member Whitney Lee to the helm in June 2018. As CTFAC approaches the 40th anniversary, Lee said the organization is hoping to expand its impact on local communities.
"CTFAC was originally created by the Stephenville Chamber of Commerce Cultural Affairs Committee as a way to help Tarleton State University reach the entire Cross Timbers area through the then-new Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center," Lee said. "We had an extraordinary group of dedicated founders who worked tirelessly to get CTFAC up and running, and we've weathered some storms over the last 39 years and we've also accomplished some amazing things."
Program highlights from 2018 include: support of Accessible Arts Clubhouse in partnership with the Stephenville Evening Lions Club and licensed music therapist Cathy Knoll; 19 visual art exhibits, all of which were presented free of charge to the public through four local galleries in partnership with the City of Stephenville; free concert experiences, including Johnny Lee and the Urban Cowboy Band as part of Rodeo Heritage Week, and a classical music concert featuring artists from the Piatigorsky Foundation; youth art classes and summer art camp programs; art classes for adults throughout the year, including watercolor, photography, pottery, oils, wreath making, and Paint the Town events; Ballet Austin school performances for area elementary children; and 10 scholarships were granted to area students to encourage involvement in the arts.
Lee said programs offered by CTFAC are often the only opportunity many of the rural communities have to experience the fine arts at a professional level.
"Even in today's modern world, when you live ninety minutes away from the closest major art museum or gallery, it's difficult to truly experience art in real life and in a professional setting," Lee said. "Particularly in our partnerships with area schools, the students and teachers are just so gracious – I wish we could do more but we're limited by funding. So we try to do the best we can for the most we can reach."
CTFAC has been historically funded through individual memberships, corporate sponsors, individual donations, ticket proceeds, fundraising, hotel/motel tax income, federal and state grants, and foundation gifts.
"Many non profit organizations are facing changes and challenges with funding, and CTFAC is not unique in that respect," Lee said. "Cuts to budgets at national and state levels creates a high level of competition for grants and locally there's a lot of competition for fundraising. So we're really trying to up our game and our value to the communities we serve and encouraging people to help support local arts by signing up for an annual membership."
Lee said, in the coming year, memberships will not only help with established programs, but will also help bring in the National Caldecott Exhibit titled Young at Art, featuring Caldecott award winning illustrations, as well help bring aspirations of an art and film festival to fruition.
"We would really like to find more ways to be present in all the communities we serve," Lee said. "As we work toward our 40th anniversary, we're reaching out to those areas to find ways to work with established organizations in support of artistic opportunities."
As in previous years, there are a variety of membership options to choose from and each comes with an exciting list of benefits. Every membership level includes advance notification of all events; discounts on most CTFAC events and classes; and opportunities for advance purchase for ticketed events. Corporate memberships even include an opportunity to be named as the sponsor of an event or exhibit. Members can also sign up to receive text alerts, email newsletters, serve on a committee, or be listed in an artist referral database.
Members also receive a number of complimentary tickets to Stilettos & Spurs, depending on the level of support selected. For more information on CTFAC programs, ways to get involved, or for details on how to become a member, visit www.ctfac.com or call 254-965-6190.

New Sexual Assault Policy on Campus Introduced in Senate
U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) introduced legislation last week that would address the rising incidences of sexual assault and violence on college campuses. The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, or SaVE Act, would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 and expand the 1990 Jeanne Clery Act to "improve education and prevention related to campus sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking."
Co-sponsored by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the SaVE Act (S. 835) would expand the framework of sexual assault education and victims' rights to include domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, and addresses the issue of how to define consent in sexual relationships. Schools would be required under the act to include sexual violence statistics in their annual crime reports. Colleges and universities would also be required to explain how to obtain protective orders and other victims' rights whenever a student reports being a victim of sexual violence.
Senator Casey, who also introduced a resolution last week that would recognize April as Sexual Assault Awareness month, said "Sexual violence is a tragic and harsh reality on college campuses throughout the country," said Senator Casey.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, approximately 20-25% of female students will experience some form of sexual assault during college. In the vast majority of sexual assaults, 85-90%, the perpetrator and victim know each other. It is estimated that less than 5% of rapes or attempted rapes of female students in college are reported to campus authorities or law enforcement.
The SaVE Act seeks to address these alarming statistics by implementing policies to prevent and respond to sexual violence through education, programming, and awareness about sexual assault and other intimate partner violence in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education. If passed by Congress and signed by the President this year, SaVE would go into effect in 2012.

Brooks, who was armed with multiple weapons, discharged a gun at bystanders and then in the direction of the two officers, who returned fire. Brooks was fatally wounded during the exchange and pronounced dead later at a St. Louis hospital.
The police officers were not injured in the shootout. An autopsy for Brooks was scheduled for Tuesday.
"We responded to a call of shots being fired at 16th and Gaty at 6 a.m. When officers arrived on the scene, the man was still shooting. He pointed the weapon at the officers and they shot him," East St. Louis Police Chief Michael Hubbard said.
Witnesses said Brooks was naked and running around, shooting at cars. By the time police arrived, he was back home, sitting on his porch. When he pointed his gun at them, police shot him, neighbors said.
"He had a long gun and a handgun. He also pointed the gun at passing vehicles while he was shooting. He then pointed the weapon at officers and fired shots. The officers returned fire, striking the suspect," Hubbard said.
According to initial reports, a subject was sitting on a porch firing a gun. The subject allegedly pointed a gun at officers from Washington Park and East St. Louis police departments.
Witnesses said the suspect would not put the weapons down, even after officers instructed him to do so.
Hubbard said he did not know whether the suspect appeared to be on drugs or alcohol, or whether there was anything to suggest the man suffered from mental illness.
Washington Park Police Chief Tony Tomlinson confirmed that one of his officers was involved in the shooting. "He heard about shots being fired and responded," Tomlinson said. "He was assisting the East St. Louis officer."
Neither officer has been identified. Both have been placed on administrative leave, pending an investigation, Hubbard and Tomlinson said.
Brooks lived at the home where the shooting occurred. A motive for why he was shooting was not immediately clear.
The shooting is being investigated by East St. Louis Police and Illinois State Police, Hubbard said.
Some neighbors, who did not want to give their names, said Brooks was quiet and kept to himself. They said it was clear though that in the last couple of days something was wrong with him. One man said he saw Brooks outside in his yard with just a shirt on. He was talking to himself and cussing and behaving strangely. They said, however, they were shocked to learn about the shooting.
Neighbors said Brooks lived alone in the house at 1602 Gaty Ave., which had been his grandfather's house until the grandfather died. One man said the grandfather possibly lived in the area more than 40 years. The white frame house with a red front door was still Monday afternoon as passers-by came to look at the scene where the shooting happened. A black SUV that belonged to the suspect sat on the side of the house in the driveway.
None of the neighbors who talked to the media said they heard the gunshots.
A family member who arrived at the home while a News-Democrat reporter was on the scene said the family would issue a statement later.

Brrr Fall has arrived in Charleston and there's nothing I want more than to crawl into the images by 13:13 Photography of this tropical South Beach wedding! Emma and James met when they were 17 at a Halloween party. The groom was a kissing booth while the bride dressed as Aphrodite! The two dated for 7 years before getting engaged at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. With centerpieces full of orchids, succulents, sea glass and coral their lush Palms Hotel wedding looks like it should be on an island in the Caribbean! A traditional Miami-inspired menu of empanadas, local snapper, and a guava and rum infused wedding cake helped flavor the evening.
Working with the Gallers to create Emma and James' wedding was such a pleasure. Emma is beautiful both inside and out. Creating this day was merely like painting a canvas that captured the true essence of the artistic nature of the entire family. My deepest appreciation to Susan and David Galler for giving me this opportunity and for 13:13 photography to capture it.

Deputy Foreign Minister vows "painful response" in retaliation to continued Saudi-UAE blockade of Sana'a airport
SANA'A – Deputy Foreign Minister in the National Salvation Government, Hussein al-Izzi, has vowed a painful and harsh public response to the invaders led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, over their rejection of international appeals to lift the air ban on Sana'a International Airport.
"After the states of aggression rejected all attempts to open Sana'a International Airport for humanitarian causes, our oppressed people have to open it up in their own way," Hussein al-Izzi said on Monday.
The Deputy Foreign Minister did not disclose the nature of the response. However, he said: "We hope that the international community will abide by the same silence that we see from them when the states of aggression commit the most heinous crimes against our people, and will not deal in double standards when the Yemeni people defend themselves as is their legitimate right."
The Saudi-led coalition forces continue to impose a complete air ban on the airports in all provinces that are not controlled by them topped by Sana'a International Airport for almost three years, causing the deaths of thousands of patients and wounded people whose medical condition needed to be treated abroad.

It was a different sort of disruption for Dubai-based My Perfumes, which had been in business for 24 years and had secured a decent share of the market for mass-produced fragrances and body sprays. But all of that changed as the company set out to mark its 25th year.
Its operations got completely upended and, no, this had nothing to do with digital disruption, the most common way existing businesses find they are no longer relevant.
At My Perfumes, it had to do with something more basic — ethyl alcohol, which is the raw material it had been using to make the fragrances at the plant in Al Ghusais.
The company decided to immediately cease all production using ethyl alcohol, which at that point represented 60 per cent of the plant's output. It also meant closing all of its own stores that had been selling these fragrances. This was in February last year.
And that's when My Perfumes went into startup mode. It was never going to be easy, especially for a near 25-year old business set in the ways of how it should do its business.
'That's when we came up with the idea of a silicon-based formulation.
It wasn't easy, as silicon is by nature thick. My Perfumes came up with thinner forms, with much of the work done at its in-house R&D facility and also in coordination with suppliers in France and Switzerland.
It took nearly eight months to come up with a formulation that could provide all of the needed features. 'There was never a doubt in our minds about whether we could make a return to the market,' said Firoz. 'But it wasn't easy — 60 percent of our production was lying idle, and we only had body sprays and water-based perfumes to keep the plant running.
That meant launching a fragrance at a slightly higher price point, which the company did through a 100ml offering priced at Dh670.
The next phase of rolling out silicon-based fragrances at different price ranges may prove just as difficult. There is no lack of choice within the mass market fragrance category — one glance at supermarket shelves will be enough to convince anyone about that.

Report shows Minneapolis is one of the top spenders in the U.S. when it comes to public parks
08/29/2018 data, family, kids, local records office, Minneapolis, Minnesota, news, parks
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – New data shows Minneapolis ranks sixth out of the country's 100 largest cities when it comes to spending on public parks. The Trust For Public Land released a new report Wednesday saying cities spent about $400 million more on public parks in fiscal year 2017 and the number of Americans living within a 10-minute walk of a park increased slightly to 70 percent.
Minneapolis spent $112,404,741 total on parks, good for $270 per resident. The total spending number includes both operating and capital spending of all park agencies.
Parks in that number could be city park systems, portions of a county park system, state park systems within city limits and even national parks. It does not include things like professional stadiums, museums, aquariums and cemeteries.
Here's a breakdown of park spending in Minneapolis:
Public spending: $110,467,999 million
Public spending per resident: $266
Private spending: $1,936,742
Private spending per resident: $5
The Trust For Public Land, which advocates for creating parks and protecting land for people, said in its latest annual City Park Facts report that public spending on parks increased 6 percent nationwide, from $7.1 billion in 2017 to $7.5 billion. When accounting for $500 million in public/private park partnerships, that number totaled $8 billion in the last fiscal year.
That's good news, Charlie McCabe, director of the organization, told Local Records Office. It suggests cities are slowly recovering from the Great Recession, which really hit park systems hard starting in about 2008.
"Unfortunately, park systems are among the first things to be cut in a downturn," said McCabe. "Usually it's a struggle for cities to think about what's most important to them, and they end up thinking fire, police and EMS are the most important. Parks become less of a priority for a number of cities."
When it comes to an individual city, the number to pay close attention to is spending per resident, McCabe noted, acknowledging the report does not take into consideration the costs of goods and services and living, which can affect buying power. Typically cities that see a lot of growth in parks spending also see a lot of income and growing revenue from taxes, fees and services.
Here are the top 10 large cities for total park spending per resident:
Portland, Oregon: $383
San Francisco, California: $314
Washington, D.C.: $284
Tampa, Florida: $279
Seattle, Washington: $279
Minneapolis, Minnesota: $270
Irvine, California: $243
Plano, Texas: $237
Arlington, Virginia: $217
New York, New York: $216
McCabe said there are a couple reasons that residents in some cities get more money than others. Once a city has a successful park system and is committed to keeping it alive, it will seek out other sources of funding to help grow and improve the park systems. In addition to tax revenue, this money often comes from commercial fees, such as from restaurants, events and even bond revenue. Prosperous cities generally do well. Others often struggle.
"In some cases, the cities that are doing well get better and the cities that are struggling still struggle, which is kind of a challenge for cities on the lower end of the spectrum." McCabe lamented.
Here are the 10 cities that spend the least per resident:
100. Stockton, California: $14
99. Toledo, Ohio: $16
98. Oakland, California: $19
97. Hialeah, Florida: $25
96. Jacksonville, Florida: $30
95. Jersey City, New Jersey: $33
94. Fresno, California: $34
93. Santa Ana, California: $37
92. Indianapolis, Indiana: $37
91. El Paso, Texas: $38
90. Glendale, Arizona: $39
Cities were particularly interested in splurging on certain amenities. There were 22 percent more community gardens, 35 percent more splash pads and, perhaps most unexpectedly, 69 percent more pickleball courts for a total of 708. Pickleball is a game resembling tennis in which paddle-wielding players hit a perforated plastic ball over a net.
McCabe stressed that a big challenge is to make sure cities understand that parks are essential to people's overall well-being. They serve as a place where people can recreate, have fun and get together with families outside. They also allow people to get from their neighborhoods to school or to the grocery store without having to drive.
"If you have little kids, it's a lot harder to get them in a car or on a bus than it is to just pop them in the stroller or have them get on their little bikes," said McCabe.

How does MasterLife WP 707 work?
MasterLife WP 707 is a liquid admixture for concrete to give high water resistance, based upon a blend of surface active agents and refined lignosulphonate. Waterproof concrete is the result of good concrete practice coupled with the lowest w/c ratio compatible with achieving full compaction. The use of MasterLife WP 707 enables all these criteria to be met due to its strong plasticising and water reducing properties.
What are the advantages of MasterLife WP 707?
Concrete containing MasterLife WP 707 is resistant to water penetration either under conditions of hydrostatic pressure or capillary absorption.
Durability is increased due to a significant reduction in w/c ratio.
Sulphate attack is reduced due to the sulphate bearing ground water being resisted.
The cohesive properties of the concrete are improved thus reducing segregation and bleeding.
Concrete of similar workability to a control mix produced with MasterLife WP 707, is easier to place.
Pumpability of concrete is greatly improved.
The surface finish of the concrete is improved.
Where is MasterLife MasterLife WP 707 applied?
MasterLife WP 707 should be used in all structural concrete that is constantly or intermittently in contact with water such as sea walls, tunnels, basements, structural and precast concrete in exposed superstructures.

Amy Kinsel named Dean of Social Sciences, Library and Parent Child Center
May 20, 2015 by pioscc Leave a Comment
Amy Kinsel will be the new Dean of Social Sciences, Library and Parent Child Center at Shoreline Community College.
Amy Kinsel
"Amy's commitment to our mission and vision is unquestionable," Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs Bob Francis said in making the announcement on May 19, 2015. "Since joining our faculty, Amy has been a consistent advocate for students, staff and faculty."
Kinsel, who earned Ph.D. and Master's degrees in History at Cornell University, has been teaching history at Shoreline since 2004. She received a BA in History from the University of Puget Sound.
"I am so pleased to accept this dean position," Kinsel said. "I'm enthusiastic about the course President Roberts is setting for our college over the next few years. I look forward to working with the entire college community, particularly my division, to create a vibrant and thriving future for Shoreline and our students."
Francis noted that there were very strong candidates for the position and thanked the search committee members for their work and insights that helped in moving through the decision-making process.
"During her years at Shoreline, Amy has served on virtually all the key college-wide committees and councils both as a member and in leadership positions," Francis said. "I am confident that her long involvement with the college's governance system gives her a unique perspective that should serve the college as we move forward."
Kinsel serves on College Council, the Student Success Coordinating Committee, the Advising Ad Hoc Team, Joint Union Management Committee, and the Strategic Planning Budget Committee. Nationally, she serves on the Executive Board of the Organization of American Historians.
Kinsel is President, American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Washington Local 1950 at Shoreline, a job she will resign before moving to the dean position. She is also Vice President for Legislative Affairs for AFT Washington, the union that represents faculty at many colleges across the state. In her AFT Washington role, Kinsel has testified before various committees in the state Legislature and recently spoke at a meeting of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
Kinsel will take over the dean position from Terry Taylor, who has been serving in an acting capacity since July 1, 2014. Taylor filled in when Francis moved from the same dean positon to his current vice-president role. Taylor will return to his position as a professor of History and Political Science. He also oversees the Honors Program and the Shoreline chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society.
"Terry Taylor did an incredible job over the past year," Francis said. "I look forward to his continued wit, wisdom and support."
Francis said he expects Kinsel will move into the dean position sometime after July 1, 2015.

Everyone has been whipping up Loni Jane's infamous Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free Bircha Muesli Mix and now you can too!
All the ingredients are from The Source. This muesli will leave you feeling full until lunchtime which will help keep weight under control. Not to mention all the amazing benefits of consuming these superfoods everyday!
Bircha Muesli in a jar also makes a fantastic gift!
Dice sultanas and dried mango (or use a blender or food processor and pulse until they are in small pieces).
Add all measured ingredients into a large mixing bowl, mix well then funnel into a glass jar and store in the pantry or fridge.
Sprinkle seeds onto smoothie bowls, acai, smoothies, Rawnola cereal, ice cream. Or Soak overnight in almond milk (or milk of your choice) with coconut yoghurt and frozen fruit for a yummy Bircha museli on the go!
"Soaking the seeds overnight 'activates' them, meaning it begins the germination process that helps break down the phytic acid (which is the acid that coats the seeds so they don't turn into sprouts/plants when stored dry) and also enzyme inhibitors which the body can struggle to break down. So soaking the seeds overnight makes the nutrients a lot more readily available and actually increases their nutritional value and plus they go super soft?. Win win.

Blackburn Buccaneer Aircraft Information
Blackburn Buccaneer
Picture - Buccaneer S.2B, RAF Mildenhall, 1988
Role: Strike aircraft
Manufacturer: Blackburn Aircraft Limited Hawker Siddeley
First flight: 30 April 1958
Introduced: 17 July 1962
Retired: 1994
Status: Not in service
Primary users: Royal Navy Royal Air Force South African Air Force
The Blackburn Buccaneer was a British low-level strike aircraft with nuclear weapon delivery capability serving with the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force between 1962 and 1994, including service in the 1991 Gulf War. Designed and initially produced by Blackburn Aircraft at Brough it was later known as the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer when Blackburn became a part of the Hawker Siddeley group.
In the early 1950s the Russian Navy introduced the Sverdlov class cruiser into service. Light cruisers by World War II standard, they were fast, effectively armed, and numerous. They presented a serious threat to the merchant fleets in the Atlantic, as the German "pocket battleships" of the war did, but in far greater numbers and over 25% faster. To counter this threat the Royal Navy decided not to use a new ship class of its own, but a new specialised strike aircraft employing conventional or nuclear weapons instead. Operating from its fleet carriers and attacking at high-speed and low-level, it would offer a solution to the Sverdlov problem.
A detailed specification was issued in June 1952 as Naval Staff Requirement NA.39, calling for a two-seat aircraft with folding wings, capable of flying at Mach 0.85 at 200 ft (61 m) above sea-level, having a combat range of over 400 nmi (740 km; 460 mi), and carrying a nuclear weapon internally. Based on the requirement, the Ministry of Supply issued specification M.148T in August 1952, and the first responses were returned in February 1953.
Blackburn's design by Barry P. Laight, Project B-103, won the tender in July 1955. Owing to secrecy, the aircraft was called BNA (Blackburn Naval Aircraft) or BANA (Blackburn Advanced Naval Aircraft) in documents, leading to the obvious nickname of "Banana Jet". The first prototype made its maiden flight from RAE Bedford on 30 April 1958.
The first Buccaneer model, the Buccaneer S.1, was powered by a pair of de Havilland Gyron Junior turbojets producing 7,100 lbf (32 kN) of thrust. This mark was somewhat underpowered, and as a consequence could not take off fully laden with both fuel and armament. A temporary solution to this problem was the "buddy" system; aircraft took off with a full load of weaponry and minimal fuel and would sortie with a Supermarine Scimitar that would deliver the full load of fuel by aerial refueling. This was not an ideal solution, however, as the loss of an engine during take-off could have been catastrophic, and the Gyron Junior gave a poor range due to high fuel consumption. The long term solution was the Buccaneer S.2, fitted with the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan, providing 40% more thrust with a greatly reduced fuel consumption. The engine nacelles had to be enlarged to accommodate the Spey, and the wing required minor aerodynamic modifications as a result. The Buccaneer S.2 had completely replaced the S.1 by November 1966.
In January 1963, 16 aircraft were ordered by the South African Air Force, as the Buccaneer S.50. These were S.2 aircraft with the addition of Bristol Siddeley BS.605 rocket engines to provide additional thrust for the "hot and high" African airfields. The S.50 was also equipped with strengthened undercarriage and higher capacity wheel brakes, and had manually folded wings. In-flight refueling was also specified and due to the vast coastline, longer range 430 US gallons (1,600 l; 360 imp gal) underwing tanks.
Picture - RAF Buccaneer S.2 with wings folded
After the cancellation of both the BAC TSR-2 and F-111K tactical bombers, the Royal Air Force eventually adopted the Buccaneer in 1968. This was ironic as the RAF had, ten years earlier, rejected Blackburn's B-108 proposal for a Buccaneer variant; instead favouring the TSR-2 to meet its Operational Requirement GOR.339 for an English Electric Canberra replacement. A total of 46 new-build aircraft for the RAF were built by Blackburn's successor, Hawker Siddeley, designated S.2B. These had RAF-type communications and avionics equipment, Martel air-to-surface missile capability, and could be equipped with a bulged bomb-bay door containing an extra fuel tank.
Some Fleet Air Arm Buccaneers were modified in-service to also carry the Martel anti-ship missile. Martel-capable FAA aircraft were later redesignated S.2D. The remaining aircraft became S.2C.
RAF aircraft were given various upgrades. Self-defence was improved by the addition of the AN/ALQ-101 ECM pod (also found on RAF's SEPECAT Jaguar GR.3), chaff / flare dispensers and AIM-9 Sidewinder capability. RAF low-level strike Buccaneers could carry what was known as "retard defence"; four 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) retarded bombs internally that could be dropped to provide an effective deterrent against any following aircraft. They were able to operate the AN/AVQ-23E Pave Spike laser designator pod for Paveway II guided bombs and act as target designators for other aircraft. From 1986, No. 208 Squadron RAF replaced the Martel ASM with the Sea Eagle missile.

The Buccaneer was a mid-wing, twin-engine monoplane with a crew of two seated in tandem under a sliding canopy. To meet the demands of the specification, the Buccaneer featured a number of advanced design features. The fuselage was area ruled; meaning it was designed to reduce drag at transonic speeds. This gives rise to the characteristic curvy "Coke bottle" shape. It featured a variable incidence tailplane that could be trimmed to suit the particular requirements of low-speed handling or high-speed flight. At the low-levels and high speeds traditional bomb bay doors could not be opened safely into the air stream, therefore doors were developed that rotated into the fuselage to expose the payload. This configuration was also useful in assisting ground-level access.
Picture - Buccaneer airbrake detail
The small wing of the Buccaneer was suited to high-speed flight at low level. Such a wing, however, did not generate the lift that was essential for carrier operations. Therefore the wing and horizontal stabiliser were "blown" by bleeding compressor gas from the engine through surface vents; this was known as "Boundary layer control" or BLC, and had the effect of energising and smoothing the boundary layer airflow, which significantly reduced airflow separation at the back of the wing (and therefore decreased stall speed) and increased effectiveness of trailing edge control surfaces including flaps and ailerons. Before landing, the pilot would open the BLC vents as well as lower the flaps to achieve slow, stable flight. A consequence of the blown wing was that the engines were required to run at high power for low-speed flight in order to generate sufficient compressor gas for blowing. Blackburn's solution to this situation was to provide a large air brake. The tail cone was formed from two leaves that could be hydraulically opened into the airstream to decelerate the aircraft. The nose cone and radar antenna could also be swung around by 180� to reduce the length of the aircraft in the carrier hangar. This feature was particularly important as contemporary British aircraft carriers were small.

The Phantoms were from No. 892 Naval Air Squadron, and the Buccaneer from No. 809 Naval Air Squadron, of HMS Ark Royal (R09)�s air group.
The Buccaneer entered service with the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) in 1962. In addition to conventional ordnance, the Buccaneer was type-approved for nuclear weapons delivery in 1965. Weapons deployed included Red Beard and WE.177 drop-bombs, which were carried internally in a rotating bomb-bay.
A total of six FAA squadrons were equipped with the Buccaneer: 700B/700Z (Intensive Flying Trials Unit), 736 (training), 800, 801, 803 and 809 Naval Air Squadrons. Buccaneers were embarked on HMS Victorious, Eagle, Ark Royal and Hermes.
On 28 March 1967, Buccaneers from RNAS Lossiemouth bombed the shipwrecked supertanker Torrey Canyon off the western coast of Cornwall to make the oil blaze and to avoid an environmental disaster. The Buccaneers aboard HMS Ark Royal took part in a mission over British Honduras shortly before its independence to deter a possible Guatemalan invasion. They also took part in several exercises in the North Sea, "taking out" ground and naval targets, while always ready to respond to any Soviet interference.
The Buccaneer was retired from Fleet Air Arm service with the decommissioning of the Ark Royal in 1978.
The first RAF unit to receive the Buccaneer S.2B was 12 Squadron at RAF Honington in 1969. This was to remain a key station for the type as 15 Squadron equipped with the Buccaneer the following year, before moving to RAF Laarbruch in 1971.
With the phased withdrawal of the Royal Navy's carrier fleet during the 1970s, Fleet Air Arm Buccaneers were transferred to the RAF, which had taken over the maritime strike role. 62 of the 84 S.2 aircraft were eventually transferred, redesignated S.2A. Some of these were later upgraded to S.2B standard.
Ex-FAA aircraft equipped 16 Squadron, joining 15 Squadron at RAF Laarbruch, and 208 Squadron at Honington. The last FAA aircraft went to 216 Squadron.
From 1970 with 12 Squadron initially, followed by 15 Squadron, 16 Squadron, No. 237 OCU, 208 Squadron and 216 Squadron, the RAF Buccaneer force re-equipped with WE.177 nuclear weapons. At peak strength Buccaneers equipped six RAF squadrons, although for one year only. A more sustained strength of five squadrons was made up of three squadrons (15 Squadron, 16 Squadron, 208 Squadron) plus No. 237 OCU (a war reserve or Shadow squadron) all assigned to Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) for land strike duties in support of land forces opposing Warsaw Pact land forces on the Continent, plus one squadron (12 Squadron) assigned to SACLANT for maritime strike duties.

After 1983 the land strike duties were mostly re-assigned to the Tornado aircraft then entering service, and two Buccaneer squadrons remaining (12 Squadron, and 208 Squadron) were then assigned to SACLANT for maritime strike duties. Only the 'Shadow Squadron' No. 237 OCU remained assigned to a war role of land strike assigned to SACEUR until it stood down from its war reserve nuclear delivery role in 1991.
After a Buccaneer suffered a structural failure in mid-air during a Red Flag exercise, the entire RAF Buccaneer fleet was grounded in February 1980. Investigation discovered serious metal fatigue problems. A total of 60 aircraft were selected to receive new spar rings and the nascent 216 Squadron was subsequently disbanded. Later the same year, the UK-based Buccaneer squadrons moved to RAF Lossiemouth.
The Buccaneer saw war service during the 1991 Gulf War when twelve examples were rushed to the area to provide a laser designation capability for British aircraft. They flew 218 missions, both designating for other aircraft and dropping 48 laser-guided bombs themselves. The last Buccaneers were withdrawn in March 1994 when 208 Squadron disbanded.

South Africa was the only country other than the UK to operate the Buccaneer, where it was in service with the South African Air Force from 1965 to 1991. Of the 16 aircraft ordered, one was lost on its delivery flight, and 15 entered service. SAAF Buccaneers saw active service during the Border War in South-West Africa, notably at Cassinga in 1978.

Buccaneer S.1 First production model, powered by de Havilland Gyron Junior turbojet engines. 40 built.
Buccaneer S.2 Development of the S.1 with various improvements and powered by the more powerful Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines. From 1962 10 were built by Blackburn Aircraft Ltd. and 74 by Hawker Siddeley Aviation Ltd.
Buccaneer S.2A Ex-Royal Navy S.2 aircraft reworked for RAF.
Buccaneer S.2B Variant of S.2 for RAF squadrons. Capable of carrying the Martel anti-radar or anti-shipping missile. 46 built between 1973 and 1977, plus three for Ministry of Defence weapons trials work.
Buccaneer S.2C Royal Navy aircraft upgraded to S.2A standard.
Buccaneer S.2D Royal Navy aircraft upgraded to S.2B standard, operational with Martels from 1975.
Buccaneer S.50 Variant for South Africa. Wings could be folded but folding was no longer powered. Aircraft could be equipped with two single-stage rockets (see RATO) to assist take-off from hot-and-high airfields like that of AFB Waterkloof in Pretoria, where the type was mostly based.

Later: New King Book Coming 2021
Section: Book » Later
New King book coming from Hard Case Crime March 2, 2021.
SOMETIMES GROWING UP
MEANS FACING YOUR DEMONS
The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine - as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.
LATER is Stephen King at his finest, a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and the trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King's classic novel It, LATER is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears.

Later Excerpt
Here is an excerpt from Later.
"I love the Hard Case format, and this story — combining a boy who sees beyond our world and strong elements of crime and suspense — seemed a perfect fit,"
"Later is a beautiful story about growing up and facing your demons — whether they're metaphorical or (as sometimes happens when you're in a Stephen King novel) the real thing. It's terrifying, tender, heartbreaking and honest, and we're so excited to bring it to readers."
- Charles Ardai, the editor of Hard Case Crime.

Happy Birthday to Stephen King today as he turns 73!
King Talks TV & That 2021 Will See 2 New Books
Sections: TV » The Stand, TV » The Outsider, TV » Mr Mercedes
Entertainment Weekly has a great interview with King where he reveals there will be 2 new books next year and about his success on TV. Here are some highlights...
About books coming 2021:
There will be two next year. I don't want people to get used to that or think that that's the norm. It's not. But it's just the way things happened. So there is another, but I don't want to say anything about it yet.
About The Outsider
There's going to be a second season of The Outsider as soon as they can get the production going.
HBO hasn't announced it yet but King know where it's going...
I know exactly where it's going because I have seen some of the scripts. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. I'll just say that it's really great and a real spooky paranormal element.
His thought about if If it Bleeds could be used as basis for a second season of The Outsider?
I don't think so. It's really complicated because of the difference in the two story lines makes it difficult to figure out how that could possibly be done in the world of Richard Price's creation of The Outsider. But if Mr. Mercedes was greenlit for a fourth season, that would be in the realm of possibility.
King on the new Flagg:
Alexander Skarsgard is a good Randall Flagg, he just knocked it out of the park
The new ending of The Stand:
I was able to bring things back around. I've had an idea for that final episode that I always kind of regretted not writing it in the book — the book's long enough as it is. I can't tell you anything about the episode other than to say that I've seen a rough cut of it, and I think it's fine.

Gwendy Is Back
Gwendy is back! No release date revealed yet though...
Billy Summers Arrives August 3rd
Section: Book » Billy Summers
King's fall 2021 book has been announced. It's titled Billy summers and will be released on August 3rd.
Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun. He's a killer for hire and the best in the business. But he'll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. And now Billy wants out. But first there is one last hit. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done. So what could possibly go wrong?
How about everything.
This spectacular can't-put-it-down novel is part war story, part love letter to small town America and the people who live there, and it features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. It's about love, luck, fate, and a complex hero with one last shot at redemption.
You won't put this story down, and you won't forget Billy.
Here is a very short excerpt from the book.
"Two million. Five hundred thousand up front, the rest after."
Billy's whistle isn't part of the act, which he doesn't think of as an act but his dumb self, the one he shows to guys like Nick and Frank and Paulie. It's like a seatbelt. You don't use it because you expect to be in a crash, but you never know who you might meet coming over a hill on your side of the road. This is also true on the road of life, where people veer all over the place and drive the wrong way on the turnpike.
"Why so much?" The most he's ever gotten on a contract was seventy K. "It's not a politician, is it? Because I don't do that."
"Not even close."
"Is it a bad person?"
Nick laughs, shakes his head, and looks at Billy with real affection. "Always the same question with you."
Billy nods.
The dumb self might be a shuck, but this is true: he only does bad people. It's how he sleeps at night. It goes without saying that he has made a living working for bad people, yes, but Billy doesn't see this as a moral conundrum. He has no problem with bad people paying to have other bad people killed. He basically sees himself as a garbageman with a gun.
"This is a very bad person."

Gwendy's Final Task Out February 15
Cemeterty Dance released the cover for Gwendy's Final Task today as well as the release date, February 15, 2022.
When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a mysterious stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven colored buttons promised death and destruction.
Years later, the button box entered Gwendy's life again. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once again forced to deal with the temptation that box represented.
Now, evil forces seek to possess the button box and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?
In Gwendy's Final Task, "horror giants" (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

NASA Delays VIPER Moon Rover Launch To 2024 To Allow Lander Development
NASA's VIPER is tasked with observing and quantifying the presence of ice in the moon's South Pole, and water underneath the surface.
By Bhavya Sukheja | Updated: 20 July 2022 15:52 IST
This is the second time the mission has been delayed.
American space agency NASA on Tuesday announced that it will delay the launch of its water-hunting VIPER Moon rover by a year in a bid to allow more time to develop a landing vehicle for the mission.
According to a statement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) was set to launch in November 2023, however, now that launch date has been slipped to November 2024 in order to allow more time for ground testing the Griffin lander that will deliver VIPER to the lunar South pole.
NASA selected Astrobotic, a Pittsburg company, as the commercial partner to develop VIPER and the Griffin lander for this mission in 2020, through the agency's Commercial Lunar Payload Service (CLPS) initiative. VIPER is tasked with observing and quantifying the presence of ice in the moon's South Pole, and water underneath the surface.
"The additional tests aim to reduce the overall risk to VIPER's delivery to the Moon," the space agency explained in a press note.
Also Read | NASA's Perseverance Rover Spots Hair Ball-Like Object On Mars
This is the second time the mission has been delayed. Back in 2020, NASA announced that additional time would be used for "upgrades" to the water-hunting rover.
VIPER rover is about the size of a golf cart and weighs just less than 1,000 pounds. As per Independent, the rover will use its 3.28-foot-long drill to sample lunar regolith and search for water across various types of the lunar terrain, including craters where deep shadows could have preserved water ice for billions of years.
Notably, the mission is a key part of NASA's Artemis program, which is scheduled to launch in 2025 and aims to return humans to the moon. The presence of water could be key in establishing the long-term presence of humans on the lunar surface, and it could also play a role in human space exploration into deeper reaches of the solar system.

You're farming NPCs well in Evony, now it's time to transport the resources.
Assuming you've read the previous guide and your cities are set up effectively and your next concern should be minimizing the risk at each city. You do that by making sure you keep minimal resources in each farm city by transporting them to other cities thus making your city less of a target and not worth hitting. Cascading is not for everyone unless you have a lot of friends aka a big network. The process can be slightly tedious but there are advantages.
If you are going to do this you must know exactly where all your cities are at on a map. The easiest way to do this is map the cords out on grided paper or use a website like evolliance where you can map your cities. If you use evolliance I would suggest making each friend/helper part of their own alliance but part of the same group like "allies". This will enable you to isolate them from each other. You should be choosing a location on this map that all cities will eventually route to, aka your hub city.
Now please forgive the bad "paint" examples but this is the best way to illustrate what I mean. You first start with mapping your cities.
Where the purple city is your hub city you would have several cities spread out around it as seen above and to the right. The purpose is to get all resources into a central located and city that has plenty of troops to protect the resources in it. By neglecting to move resources you will have resources spread at several locations. If unguarded, easy resources for the taking. If guarded your city will still likely be beaten and you now have a larger combined upkeep across all cities.
This can be a good option in some situations however the issue arises in particular if you have some cities that span across a very long distance. Typically you must go a larger transports because you tend to stockpile larger quantity of resources when transports are gone for several hours. The breakdown.
If attacked and transports are hours away you may not be able to hide resources and are committed to the location.
This method allows you to move resources in short bursts from city to city then eventually to a central hub. This is however more complicated to set up but has much different advantages compared to central transporting. The breakdown.
Larger quantities of resources move faster because instead of having just the transports in your current city it is actually using all combined transports of your network.
Extremely quick round trip transport times freeing up city and giving options if attacked.
Easy to prevent resource capping, quick sends and returns keep transports around to move resources making it so resource is always building.
You can set up back up resource paths for resources over a certain quantity or isolate certain types of resources to take a different path.
It is difficult to see what resources you have incoming since they are spread across multiple sources.
Cities can potentially get clogged without you realizing.
The purpose of this is for your to you to judge if you are farming and routing your resources smart in Evony. In certain situations it may make better sense to route directly to your hub city. However their can be bigger advantages and better resources if you cascade transport your resources. One of the biggest advantages in my opinion is the ability to plug resources into any location and it ends up at your hub. Combine this with the fact you can also take priority on resources like wood and iron and make certain it moves first and on separate or more direct paths. You will want to make sure when you are routing you stay within prestige requirements from location to location. If you have big gaps in your map you can place cities in between and chain your cities more effectively and spread yourself over farther distances. If I've missed any pro's and con's please post below. I look forward to your comments.

WEYMOUTH – When state Sen. Robert Hedlund formally resigns his Senate seat and is sworn in as the third mayor of Weymouth, the ceremony and subsequent celebration will be what he describes as "low-key." Hedlund will be sworn in at about 8:30 a.m. Monday. At 6 p.m., a ceremony will he held at the Abigail Adams Middle School.
The evening event will include Gov. Charlie Baker reading the mayoral oath. Senate President Stanley Rosenberg, D-Amherst, and Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, plan to be there, and Jim Melody, known locally for his holiday song, "Christmas in Boston," will perform another original, "To Weymouth," with the Weymouth High School choir.
Town councilors and school committee members will also be inaugurated during the evening ceremony. A brief reception will follow at town hall. Light refreshments will be served.
Hedlund's inaugural party will be held from 7 to 11 p.m next Saturday, Jan. 9, at the Weymouth Club. He said he was trying to keep it simple.
"The mayors in the past have had large gatherings," Hedlund said, "but I didn't want to do anything that ostentatious. I didn't even really want to have a party, but my volunteers wanted to do something."
Fred Happel, who managed Hedlund's mayoral campaign, said the party is open to the public. Tickets cost $25.
Any money beyond the cost of holding the party will be donated to Weymouth youth sports.
"I wanted to keep it low-price, keep it simple, and any extra money – we'll find a good cause for it. So that's what we did," Hedlund said.
Tickets are available at the "Hedlund for Mayor" Facebook page. They also will be sold at the door.
