How long has the family at SnapSports® been around?
Just about 40 Years—the family of SnapSports pioneered the outdoor backyard court and modular sports flooring industry nearly four decades ago. We are a family owned and operated company that produces the highest quality USA made products. Unlike many other companies within the industry, we engineer & build our own molds as well as manufacture all of our own flooring products in-house here in Salt Lake City, Utah. No other company can make this statement, at least not truthfully.
What makes a SnapSports outdoor residential multi-courts and athletic surfaces stand above all others?
We manufacture the most extensive line-up of quality modular sports surfaces & game components in the industry. From the DuraCourt® outdoor surface, to the industry leading multi-patented ShockTower® sport surfacing, a patented, resilient, shock absorbing technology, engineered with performance and safety in mind. The shock deflection offers excellent impact control and ball response while providing unmatched shock-absorption to athletes during aggressive play, no other sports flooring product even compares.
We are the family who pioneered the modular sports flooring industry today. With nearly four decades of inventing, engineering and providing premium athletic flooring and outdoor game courts, no other company has more hands-on experience within their team as does SnapSports You can be assured you are getting the best products for the best value.
SnapSports sports surfacing has been independently tested by USSL, The official testing facility for the famous DIN standard; the most stringent standard for sports flooring systems.
SnapSports top ASTM rating for sport performance and safe play by an approved independent laboratory.
We are not owned by a faceless investment group with short term goals, we are family owned and operated with nearly 100 team members at our corporate ISO Certified manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah and supported by a global sports dealer network.
No two backyards are the same and each game court is custom designed, it is difficult to say with certainty how long it will take. It depends on weather, access, terrain, permits, HOA approvals, and so on.
Once the designs, colors, and plans are finalized, components are ordered and construction schedules are set, most courts are ready to go in under two weeks.
We recommend a 4" court base of steel-reinforced concrete because it offers the best long-term performance. For unstable soil, compaction or water table concerns, we recommend post-tension concrete reinforced with cables. Asphalt can also be used as a less expensive option for tennis courts. Unusual conditions may require custom base options, so your personal SnapSports expert will help you choose the right base for your needs, but steel-reinforced concrete is generally the best option.
What if a concrete base not suitable or allowed to be installed?
Our team has installed hundreds on non-concrete EcoCourt™ outdoor athletic sub sport surface systems over the 35+ years. EcoCourt offers an eco-friendly alternative to concrete sub-base system, providing unmatched performance and safe play when used with our multi-patented outdoor sport surfaces. In areas where there are HOA restrictions, easement regulations or environmental impact concerns, this is the answer.
Which sports, games, and activities can take place on a multi-court?
In cold climates, many families design their courts to be flooded in the winter and made into personal ice rinks!
What are the steps to building a court?
Please call SnapSports so we can put you in touch with a local dealer who will provide a site analysis and estimate. An authorized dealer, determine the best location for the court according to your needs.
Call friends, neighbors and family to get out the sports gear and Have Fun!
Who builds the outdoor game court once we decide to go ahead?
Authorized SnapSports dealers, contractors and/or company trained installers will install your court. Our multi-game residential courts are built to specifications calculated by our engineering department and construction teams. Many of our professional installers have nearly four decades of court building experience in all types of climates, soil and water conditions, topography, and limited or restricted access areas.
We can work with your contractor on base preparation, orientation, concrete specifications, setting anchors or sleeves, electrical, and other issues. We can also provide a professional to install your sport surface, lining, basketball hoops, ball containment, rebounder and lighting assembly (hook-up needs to be done by a licensed electrician) once the pad has been poured.
If you are looking to do it yourself we are glad to help you in any way we can. We do like to recommend professional installation because of variations in climate, frost levels, soil types, water runoff or tables, slope, neighbor considerations, Home Owners Association Guidelines, city, county, or township requirements (setbacks, easements, or other considerations) underground or over-ground utilities, septic systems and drain fields, landscape aesthetics, safety, orientation, sun direction in relationship to the court, optimum use or cost to build the court, athletic team sports activity interest and budget. Our court experts can build the ultimate recreational area for your home, HOA, school, multi-use rec center or sports training facility to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. SnapSports is your complete turn-key source for all your indoor and outdoor sports projects.
What are the electrical hook-up requirements of each system? Do both work on a 110 v hook-up?
Metal-halide lights hook up to either a 110V or 220V. Quartz-iodine lighting requires 220V.
Can we just buy the components but pour the concrete and do the installation ourselves?
Yes, SnapSports is happy to work with customers in whatever way works best for them.
How do you get concrete to my backyard if there is not access for a concrete truck?
In these cases, we use a line or boom to pump concrete from the street or wheel it in using a motorized concrete buggy (think of it as an oversized wheelbarrow with a motor).
A multi-court is designed to accommodate all your favorite sports and games in a space ¼ the size of a tennis court. A standard tennis court is 60' x 120' (7200 sq. ft.), while an average multi-court is 30' x 60' (1800 sq. ft.).
What size are multi-courts and what size of space do you need?
Lining and color design are usually a family decision, but our multi-courts most often have one set of game lines for paddle tennis, pickleball, foam tennis, tennis, badminton, speedminton, and volleyball. The perimeter playing lines are 20' x 50' (a scaled down singles tennis design) on courts over 60' and 20' x 44' on courts under 60' in length. On courts more than 30' wide, a 2' doubles line may be added on each side for foam and short tennis doubles.
Multi-courts are custom designed to fit any space, sports interests, and family budget. The dimensions that best accommodate the widest range of sports and games (12+) range between 25' x 60' (1500 sq. ft.) and 35' x 75' (2625 sq. ft.). We can build many smaller and larger courts. A popular size is 28' x 46' (1280 sq. ft) but the average is about 30' x 60'.
Families with a favorite paddle or racquet sport may want only the official lining of that sport installed, and we are happy to accommodate. Pickleball lines are 20' x 44', badminton doubles are 20' x 44', short and foam tennis are 20' x 50', and paddle tennis are 20' x 50'.
60' x 120' (7200 sq. ft.) overall. Play lines for singles are 27' x 78' and 36' x 78' for doubles.
How do you play tennis on a multi-court ¼ the size of a tennis court?
By using a low-energy tennis ball that compresses on impact restricts the velocity and distance. These balls let players enjoy the same experience they would have on a full-sized tennis court with a high-compression ball. Low-energy tennis balls are used by USTA professionals to teach tennis to young children.
You can use regulation tennis racquets on our multi-courts but our customers find the game more enjoyable with 21" – 24" junior tennis racquets. Two 21" racquets are provided in the SnapSports Fun Gear Pack along with low compression tennis balls.
If we just want a half court for basketball does SnapSports offer it?
Yes, SnapSports builds half and full court basketball courts. Our most popular half courts are 30' x 30', 30' x 40', and 30' x 50'. Our most popular courts are 35' x 55', 30' x 60', 35' x 65', 40' x 70', 46' x 75', 50' x 80', 54' x 94' and 56' x 104'.
What fencing do you recommend for a residential tennis court?
We do have some general suggestions, but in the end, it depends on how the court lays in the yard, the adjacent topography, proximity to neighbors, and skill level of players who will use the court.
Unless there is a safety concern or nearby hillside we encourage customers to use a 10' high containment on both ends of the court and a 30' return, 10' high, along the sides of the court. This arrangement uses about 30% less fencing than a full enclosure. For example, a 60' x 120' court fenced this way uses 240 linear feet of fence, while a full enclosure uses 360 linear feet. This design reduces costs yet contains most errant shots. Also, open sides make the court look better and feel less confined. If there is a severe slope or close neighbor on one side, you can use 10' fencing on that side only.
Another option for full enclosures is to use 10' high fencing on the ends and a mix of heights on the sides. Sides that are 10' high at the ends, but drop to 5' high toward the middle of the court (about 30' from each end) look great.
YES! We offer the top rated modular sports surfacing on the planet today. Out patented systems deliver professional level performance and safe playing surface for athletes the world over.


Just about every sweatshirt graphic started off as a canvas in some hard working artists studio. Eventually making its way through leaps and bounds onto many shirts, sweatshirts, and other things needing beautifying.
Here I have collected some of the most gorgeous sweatshirts that could belong in an art museum let alone a fashion show.
Who doesn't love foxes? This hoodie from artist Sharon Turner captures both the curiosity of the common fox as well as its natural side. The geographical patterns on the fox reflect subtleties of nature as well as adding an extra feeling of royalty that foxes seem to naturally give off.
At first glance i even though the fox was wearing some kind of patterned hoodie of its own. However now i'm not so sure, the fox may just be from a different dimension where most foxes look this ornate.
This are some more artistic hoodies from artist Tone Fonseca. They combine flowers with organs to create a natural harmony between body and nature. The overall affect is gorgeous, unique, and thought-provoking.
Marilyn Monroe is an immortal fashion icon whose image always has a place in pop culture. One way she still pops up is on trendy new hoodies and sweatshirts. Some of the common new styles include gangster marilyn monroe or Marilyn with some kind of red bandana. Entire sweatshirt websites like monroe threads have collections of marilyn monroe hoodies.
It dosen't just stop with hoodies either, there are sweaters, leggings, shirts, phone cases and the list goes on. When looking for a marilyn monroe hoodie you want to think about what era of Marilyn Monroe you are looking for. Almost every 2-3 years throughout the 40s and 50s all the way up to her death featured new looks and a new Marilyn. In the late 40s we had an innocent girlish Marilyn whos likeness pops up on some sweatshirts with celebrity memes. The designs from the mid 50s feature a Monroe in here prime--think the skirt blowing scene at the subway--white elegant dresses and confident poses were the norm. From this 50s era you can find more vintage graphics.

Risk of Pre-Eclampsia Related to Blood Pressure and BMI
News Nov 30, 2020 | Original story from University of Nottingham
Credit: Bruno /Germany/ Pixabay
An international study, coordinated by experts from the University of Nottingham, has revealed that the genetic risk of pre-eclampsia – a potentially dangerous condition in pregnancy – is related to blood pressure and body mass index.
Pre-eclampsia, usually diagnosed by increased blood pressure and protein in urine, affects up to 5% of pregnant women. It contributes worldwide to the death of estimated 50 000 women and up to one million babies annually. The condition is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases among mothers and their children later in life. There is an inherited risk, with women with a family history of pre-eclampsia at greater risk of developing the condition themselves.
In the InterPregGen study, researchers from the UK, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan studied how maternal genetic variation influences the risk of pre-eclampsia. The team studied the genetic make-up of 9,515 pre-eclamptic women and 157,719 control individuals.
The results, reported today in Nature Communications, pinpointed DNA variants in the ZNF831 and FTO genes as risk factors for pre-eclampsia. These genes have previously been associated with blood pressure, and the FTO variant also with body mass index. Further analysis revealed other blood pressure related variants in the MECOM, FGF5 and SH2B3 genes also associating with pre-eclampsia. These variants increase the risk of pre-eclampsia by 10-15%.
The new insights from this study could form the basis for more effective prevention and treatment of pre-eclampsia in the future, and improve the outcome of pregnancy for mother and child. They could also encourage GPs to follow-up more closely women who have had pre-eclampsia".
The study also shows that overall genetic predisposition to hypertension is a major risk factor for preeclampsia and thus a large number of variants each with a small effect may also contribute to the risk. These current results complement the earlier findings of the same researchers, who showed that a variant near FLT1 gene in the fetal genome affects mothers' risk of developing pre-eclampsia.
The genes identified so far fit hand-in-glove with other current knowledge of pre-eclampsia as hypertension and obesity are known maternal risk factors. This study shows that these associations are partly explained by inherited predispositions. However, they only explain a part of the pre-eclampsia risk. Whether the remaining unidentified factors act through the maternal or fetal genome, or both, remains to be seen.
The new insights from this study could form the basis for more effective prevention and treatment of pre-eclampsia in the future, and improve the outcome of pregnancy for mother and child.
The five-year study was coordinated by Dr Linda Morgan from the University of Nottingham's School of Life Sciences; Nottingham Professors Emeritus Noor Kalsheker (Clinical Chemistry) and Fiona Broughton Pipkin (Obstetrics and Gynaecology) were among the collaborators.

A Starving contest: Name that boat!
Friday, February 17: The last day for names! Tomorrow, I'll pick the winner.
Kevin and I don't have a good track record in the naming department. Our late, lamented cat was named Cat. Most of our chickens don't have names, and the ones that do named themselves. Our alpha male turkey was Drumstick.
We never got around to naming our first fishing boat, the now-for-sale Eastern, although we referred to it colloquially as the "Ahoy Polloi." A good name, but stolen from Caddyshack.
Our new boat came with a name: "Dream Catcher." Which is a perfectly fine name, but it doesn't quite suit us. Dreams are not what we're out to catch.
A while back – could be ten years, could be fifteen – it changed hands. The new owners clearly didn't think much of the name either. They renamed it, but they were evidently operating on a shoestring budget, so they changed the name to "Green Pea" and painted some stripes over the C and the E on the big green awning over their storefront.
I thought this was genius. They get a groovy new name and an excellent used awning in one fell swoop. They must have prospered, because the old "Green Pea///" awning disappeared a few years later, replaced by a much classier one with no striped-over letters.
I thought I might be able to try a similar approach with Dream Catcher, whose name is written on the side of the boat in big letters.
Unfortunately, the best I could come up with is "am cat," but Kevin and I aren't morning people and "am cat" would be a crappy name for a boat even if we were.
Boats are second only to hair salons in their ability to induce their owners to give them silly names with puns. You'd think, having had my hair cut at Shear Glamour my entire childhood, I would have learned a lesson about that, but my fondness for puns clearly trumped my aversion to silly names as Kevin and I tossed out suggestions.
The thing about naming a boat, though, is that there are a few things you have to take into consideration. The reason we never actually named the Eastern the "Ahoy Polloi" was that our friend Linda warned us that we should imagine using the name to call the Coast Guard in an emergency.
So far, the best we've come up with is "Loafs and Fishes," but I find I'd like to give the boat a name with a little more dignity and, besides, I'm not sure that passes the Coast Guard test.
This is where you come in. Suggest a name. Or two, or seventeen. If we use it, we'll send you a beautiful jar of our very own hand-made sea salt.
In a way, this is a contest for me, too, because Kevin thinks I won't be able to bring myself to use a name that we don't think of ourselves. I'd like to think he's wrong about that, so please send in names. Lots of names. Good names, bad names, funny names, serious names.
Just do it quick. Kevin has started to call the boat "Dream Catcher," and I want to nip this thing in the bud.
what about 'edward? Edward is a suitably dignified English name with some nice background, and then at sea you are 'eadward often looking for the heads.
You do know though it is unlucky to rename a boat?
You should call it "The Laestrygonian" …mainly so people would have to look it up, and then you could be all, "omg, I can't believe you didn't know those were the giant cannibals from Homer's Odyssey! Duh!" I would never get tired of doing that.
That said, a walk around any marina will reveal the number of absolute dimwits who name boats. When I was in Oak Bluffs last year there were no fewer than four boats there named "Bada Bing." Seriously. Also, "Big Boyz Toyz," "Sea Saw" and "Irish Buoys." You really have little to worry about.
I like the idea of a personal name, or one with meaning. Maybe Kevin could name it after you??? Lady Tamar? Or the Tamar (insert middle name here)? OK you'll probably hate that.
I'm so bad at names. Lee is too. It took him two weeks after he got his puppy to name her and that was only because I came up with the name.

"cheated Game!" Box
Author Topic: "cheated Game!" Box (Read 3304 times)
Sirbomber
So, does anybody else want/think somebody should remove the annoying CHEATED GAME! box that shows up because we're > OP2? And is it even possible now that I think of it? Because we're trying to set it so if you have no CC you're morale gets set at 75 until you build a new one, then it goes back to normal. But the game doesn't like this and presents us with the accursed obstruction of cheatiness.

ive never seen this box, is it somthing you see when you are making new maps or somthing?
I am the nincompoop, I eat atomic bombs for breakfest, fusion bombs for lunch, and anti-matter bombs for dinner
I just hope they don't explode
spirit1flyer
I've never seen it ether :unsure:
are you making a colony or multi game? if so maybe you have cheat code in your source?

I repeat my question.
Multiplayer game, and no there isn't any "cheat code"...
I don't have a clue then sorry
Somehow, I figured you wouldn't... :huh:
I was kinda asking hacker/etc if there was anyway to jsut remove that box from the game, not just the map. It would let people do a lot more stuff that the game might consider cheating, since some people might be discouraged from playing a map that the game says is rigged.

Okay, here's the clarification:
The "Cheated Game" text appears on the screen, when you are able to play on, even though you should get the "you have failed" message.
This has to do with the way the mission was coded.
If you alter existing DLLs to make it, so you can't loose the game, that is considered a "Cheated Game". In this case: when your CC is disabled (due to damage or by dismantling it) you are still able to continue playing, while it should have a FailureCondition, hence the cheat text.

Yes, I've been planning to look into exact causes of this for some time, but I've never had a DLL that causes that to appear whenever I've been interested in looking into it.
I don't suppose someone could send me a DLL?
Easily. I already have one made up. Just decon your CC and you get "Cheated Game!".
Hmm... didn't seem to want to attach.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that and what Harky has given me today. I'll see what I can find out.
zigzagjoe
what are you trying to do and what are you using to make the dll?(mapper, msvc?) old vers of my LR code are the only things that ive known to cause that. i belive i fixed that a while ago; and ill post the modified zighooville w/it sometime.
(*looks at modification date* damn 2months !)
We're trying to make a lack of a command center give you steady morale at 75. It resets if/when you build a new cc.
well isnt it normally for land rush when you dont have a cc morale is steady, and when you build it morale starts working, and after that, if you loose a cc you die?
so you want to make it so that if you dont have a cc, but you have a kit in a convec and you dont die, and your morale is steady?
just trying to understand why your doing this
seems simple enough:
void AIProc()
for (int i = 0; i < TethysGame::NoPlayers(); i++)
int n=0;
Unit unit;
PlayerBuildingEnum unitEnum(i, mapCommandCenter);
while (unitEnum.GetNext(unit))
n++;
if(n==0) { TethysGame::ForceMoraleGood(i); }
else { TethysGame::FreeMoraleLevel(i); }
but its not, i get the same message...coudlve sworn there was a way to set morale for a player but im drawing a blank...(psst hooman...this is ur cue)
Lol, yes. I said I'd look into it. I haven't got around to it yet but I will. I've now got two levels that cause this problem to help with my investigation. I think maybe I'll be taking a peek in a few minutes. We'll see what turns up.
Ok, I've looked into it, and I've come to the same conclusion I've come to before, but with more certainty this time. (I forgot about last time, or was just not very sure I wasn't getting it confused with something else that was similar).
It seems ANY game option that is set after tick 0 (i.e., anything not set in InitProc) other than FreeMoraleLevel will cause this to appear. This will include any of the ForceMorale commands, as well as things involving daylight. There is also a set game speed that can trigger this, but I would assume it's only used in network games to force everyone to the same game speed.
Basically, the game keeps track of when the last game option was set (other than free morale level) and if that value is ever non zero, it'll print the "CHEATED GAME!" message.
So, it seems the way you plan to write your level, it won't be possible to get rid of that message. At least not if you restrict yourselves to the usual Outpost2.exe exports. You can always do some mem hacking to remove that message if you really need it. But then, I'd suggest asking yourselves how important it is to freeze morale while you're relocating your base. Could you settle for just unfreezing morale once, when you first deploy a CC?
It's kinda important, we don't want people to die off because they were relocating and couldn't get set up in time.
So I suppose we just tell people to ignore it for now or tell them their alternatives. (in other words, death)
Joe, that's not the correct way to do it.
What I would do is create two Operational triggers, one that detects when a player CC count is greater than or equal to 1, and one that detects when the CC count is 0.
Then in the respective trigger functions, modify the morale level accordingly.
FYI, you should really avoid processing in AIProc if you can help it. It's rarely the best way to do things, and it can slow down the game immensely.
Also, I don't really think it would be that difficult to remove the cheated game message.
« Last Edit: November 21, 2005, 04:38:25 PM by op2hacker »
I could give you details on how to remove it. I've got the code labelled in OllyDbg and I have comments around much of it. Although, there are a number of ways we could consider doing this. I'd say we need to chat about it on IRC sometime.
Really though, I recommend we don't remove it. One reason would be that levels designed for a new version would have that weird glitch if someone tried to run it with a CD version. Probably not too likely, but there could be other problems as well.
The second reason, is that it's there for a reason. You could reasonably cheat without being detected by doing things like fixing morale for yourself. Granted, this doesn't protect against fixing things during startup, but if someone codes a change later in the game, it'll be obvious what they've done.
Yeah, that's what I said we should use, and it worked.
The problem isn't the code (it works fine), it's the evil box of doom. Which seems to be unfixable.
Well, thanks for all your help anyways.
Yeah, that's the method I suggested to Harky a few days back.
The "evil box of doom" is caused by the TethysGame::ForceMoraleLevel* functions. It doesn't matter how you detect the CCs. It's the morale calls that cause that box.
Is it possible to start putting up the next base before deconstructing your old base in that level? That could solve some of the issues.
Sure, it's possible. Not feasible though. You have to leave at least some stuff behind to decon your old base or you're, well, screwed. Then you also have to had researched Mobile Weapons Platform so you can "decon" your mine. (since mines have to be blown up)
So, basically, the most you'd have time to take is a cc, struc fac, tok, and smelter if you're lucky.
Starfox00000
I don't know much about programming (although I'd like to), but new base set up or not I get the "evil box of doom" as soon as the game starts, not when my first cc dies.

Bloomberg Business Week reports that Medtronic has been granted FDA approval for its Viva permanent implant device. The product is designed to resynchronise the beating of the heart and uses an algorithm to coordinate heart contractions, adjusting to the differing demands of the body as a patient undertakes their everyday lives.
According to Medtronic, significantly more heart-failure patients responded to treatment via the Viva and they were 21% less likely to be hospitalised in the first year, than those with older devices.


The light streams in overhead, turning the water of Lake Melassani aquamarine. The small rowboats filled with tourists float on a lake of clear, blue light. Birds flit between the plants and the rocks that make up the lake's island and all of it - every bit of it - is underground. Melissani Lake or Melissani Cave, as it is also known, is an underground lake in a cave on the Greek island of Kefalonia. It is part of the island's interesting geography and just one of the sites that draws tourists to the Ionian island.
Lake Melissani is on the east side of Kefalonia , just a few miles from the port of Sami. The 328 foot-long long cave and lake were known in ancient times. Originally two large chambers, a cave-in thousands of years ago changed the cave and lake's shape to that of the letter B and created the island and oval opening in the ceiling. The lake was rediscovered in 1951 by Giannis Petrohilos, a speleologist, who found an ancient lamp currently on display at the Archeological Museum of Argosotli. Another excavation in 1962 produced a few minor Minoan relics including oil lamps and plates with pictures of Pan and nymphs, and uncovered what is believed to be ruins from a temple to the God Panas on the island in Lake Melissani. Also known as the Cave of the Nymphs, Melissani Cave is named after the nymph, Melissanthi. Myth holds that Melissanthi drowned herself in the lake when Panas rejected her love.
In 1963, Lake Melissani was opened to the public. Visitors descend down a steep ramp through the cave's entrance where row boats wait to take them across the lake. The boats, with their charming and sometimes even singing boatmen, are the only way to tour Lake Melissani. It is recommended that tourists visit on a sunny day so they can enjoy the full effect of the light streaming through the hole in the ceiling of the first hall of the cave. The channel that connects the two halls is too narrow for the boatmen to row through, so they pull the row boats through using a rope. On the other side, the ceiling opens to a dome, and the cave is decorated with stalactites and stalagmites.
The water in Lake Melissani is brackish, a mixture of fresh and salt water. The surface of the lake is 3.28 feet above sea level, and the lake has a maximum depth of 98 feet. Melissani Lake receives some of its water from the Katavothres on the other side of the island. The Katavothres are a series of swallow holes that sea water flows into. In the past they were used to turn water wheels. No one was sure where the water went until dye was dropped into the Katavothres. Fourteen days later the dye turned up in Lake Melissani, proving there was at least one hydrologic connection under the island.
Kefalonia, or Cephalonia as it is also known. Is an island with many caves. There are more than 17 caves around Sami alone, including one next to Lake Melissani that is open to tourists. Cephalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands. It was named after Kephalos, the area's first king; four of the island's main cities - Sami, Pahli, Krani and Pronnoi - were named after his four sons. The island has at times been ruled by Romans, the Franks, Venetians and Spaniards. In modern times it has fallen under French, Russian, Turkish and English rule before finally uniting with Greece in 1864. During World War II the island was occupied by Italian troops. The story of the subsequent massacre of 5,000 Italian soldiers was documented in the novel 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' by Louis de Bernieres.
Today, the only ones invading the island are tourists flocking to Cephalonia to enjoy the island's rich history, beautiful scenery, and fantastic sand and pebble beaches. There are holiday villas, cottages and vacation rentals scattered across the island and any amenity a visitor might need. Seaside restaurants serve native dishes, and charming shops hold local treasures. Lake Melissani is the glowing underground gem tucked away in an exceptional Greek getaway.

Watch Trump's Bizarre Sexist Rant About Dishwashers
To continue his war on water-using household fixtures and appliances, Pres. Donald Trump has now gone after dishwashers. The machines that wash dishes, not the people who wash dishes.
In remarks at a Wednesday night rally, Trump went straight to the water problems he apparently has.
"Remember the dishwasher? You'd press it. Boom! There'd be like an explosion. Five minutes later, you open it up. The steam pours out," Trump said.
First of all, that is not how dishwashers work, and he has unwittingly revealed that he's never used a dishwasher. Then he added this.
"Now, you press it 12 times. Women tell me . . . 'You know, they give you four drops of water.'"
Second, no, you never have to press a dishwasher start button 12 times. It doesn't work that way.
Third, men do dishes, too, as was pointed out by several people on Twitter, including Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Frankly this comment tells you a lot about how elite this guy is. And sexist. He's never run a dishwasher. And thinks only women do. Btw dishwashers today work great. Much better than they used to. What an idiot. https://t.co/LOauszN5dr
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) December 19, 2019
Trump's weird obsession with dishwashers and low flow toilets is so incredibly soul crushingly on brand I can't stand it…. https://t.co/YPSNO4kFkM
— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) December 19, 2019
Earlier this month, we wrote up the story about Trump's toilet experiences, where he says people are having to flush the toilet repeatedly to get it to work.
"We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks, and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on — and areas where there's tremendous amounts of water — where the water rushes out to sea, because you could never handle it. And you don't get any water."
"You turn on the faucet, and you don't get any water. They take a shower, and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out. Very quietly dripping out. People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. They end up using more water. So the EPA is looking at that very strongly at my suggestion."
Throughout the rally, Trump went on to keep up his tirade against the energy-efficient light bulbs, among other things.
Oh, and he told us (again) that he doesn't wear a hairpiece.

Steve leads a conversation into a very important topic, that of blood, tissue and organ donation in Canada. The lads dig deep into the topic, touching on past donation experiences, fairness / unfairness in the current waitlist program, some of the rules around who gets an organ and how its decided, and some of the moral or ethical questions about whether past behaviour such as alcoholism should impact ones donor status. This is a deep, emotional topic that the lads try their best to navigate, while shedding light on just how vital being a donor is.

Over the weekend thousands of fans gathered together in Nashville at the Music City Center to celebrate all things dead, demonic, and downright creepy. Actors from AMC's critically acclaimed shows The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead as well as Syfy's Z Nation were in attendance with numerous others to discuss their shows via panel.
A Walking Dead Experience was set up along with many artisan craft booths depicting scenes and characters from many of the shows being represented at Walker Stalker. Fans even had the opportunity for professionally photographed meet and greets with certain actors, and all stars in attendance had booths set up where fans could come up, shake hands and even get autographs and selfies. Any one of these activities will set you back a pretty penny though ($50 was the common asking price for an autograph/selfie combo), but don't worry there's plenty of ATM's set up for your convenience!
Ian Somerholder talks about The Vampire Diaries during a panel.
All in all Walker Stalker is a decent convention where fans can pay through the nose for a brief moment to meet characters they spend hours upon hours obsessing over. If you can afford it and are a super fan of Walking Dead or Z Nation you'll have a good time, casual fans should steer clear of this cash grab.

Group Asks For Low Out Of Pocket Health Plans
By Ken Krall • Jul 14, 2016
Credit en.wikipedia.org
With the clock ticking, an advocacy group is asking insurance companies to come up with what are called 'low-out of pocket' insurance plans.
This week Citizen Action of Wisconsin reports on July 22, insurers need to submit 2017 plan designs to the state for the health marketplace, HealthCare.gov. The group was asking the companies to offer what are known as Low Out-Of-Pocket health plans that provide health care access at costs that working families can afford by reducing deductibles.
Citizen Action of Wisconsin Executive Director Robert Kraig says one out of five people didn't fill a prescription last year because they couldn't afford it. He's hoping to pressure insurance companies to offer an alternative, less costly, plan...
"....we're encouraging health insurance providers to offer these low-out-of-pocket plans. They have until July 22 to put forward to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance what plans they will be offering...."
Spokesperson Kevin Kane sites what the deductible costs are now...
".....Wisconsinites, broadly and on average, are paying $3,347 dollars per year just in doctor visit deductible, $1,203 dollars on average before the insurance company offers to help out..."
That second figure is for prescription drugs.
Kraig says Wisconsin's medical prices are the second highest in the nation.
Kraig says if Wisconsin insurers offer "Low Out-Of-Pocket" policies for 2017, and 25 percent of all Wisconsin consumers purchasing on Healthcare.gov enroll, they would see a collective reduction in medical and prescription drug deductibles of over $270 million.
More information on the report is here.
www.aroundthetownhvac.com
Report: Health Care Costs Rising, Deductibles Rising Sharply
The group Citizen Action of Wisconsin reports some major cost-shifting is occurring as Wisconsin consumers face increasing health insurance rates and deductibles.
Executive Director Dr. Robert Kraig notes across the state of Wisconsin, their review saw a 4.2 percent increase in the "Silver Plan" premiums from the Affordable Care Act, which is what he calls the benchmark to base statistical analysis. Kraig says that shows a slowing of premium costs, but he says Wisconsin had the fourth-highest premium cost base in the country. But he says deductible on plans caught their eye...

Our aim is to instil a passion for English Literature in our students which will stay with them for life. In English Language we aim to empower students so that literacy is never a barrier in their lives.
The English Department's primary purpose is to ensure students develop high order reading, writing and oracy skills. We aim to equip students with the necessities to open doors in their lives, in the school setting, and in the wider world.
We are committed to delivering active learning where students take ownership of their own progress and are supported by a team of enthusiastic and skilled English teachers. We wish to instil a love of both the English language and great works of literature in our students through our enthusiasm, enjoyment and example.
As part of the learning journey for our students, we ensure we combine the knowledge based curriculum, cultural capital and enrichment opportunities to support the development of the individual. Supporting the acquisition of knowledge whilst developing and refining skills is fundamental to our teaching and learning. We understand the importance of English to our students and incorporate influences from Key Stage 2 to Key stage 5 in order to support progression at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.
Students across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 study four hours of English per week with Year 7s and selected Year 8s and 9s also studying additional lessons focussed on reading across the curriculum (Excel). We ensure that we are equipping students with the skills needed for Key Stage 4 from the very start of Key Stage 3. In Year 9, students start to explore Key Stage 4 content as appropriate to ability and engagement.
Extra-curricular opportunities allow students to discover different aspects of English that will challenge and stimulate their interest. Our students are involved in reading initiatives such as 'The Big Book Quiz', 'Bolton Literature Award' and 'Readathon'; speaking and listening competitions including the 'Rotary Youth Speaks'; and both internal and external writing competitions. Any opportunities to engage with external agencies such as theatre productions or author visits are also pursued.
Our Key Stage 3 Schemes of Learning offer a broad and balanced range of stimulus whilst being mapped to Key Stage 4. We have also worked with local primary schools to ensure we have a clear path of progression for students joining us in Year 7. Each Key Stage 3 group have a topic text as a focus and reading, writing, and oracy skills, are developed and mastered through the stimulus of these texts. In writing lessons, students perfect skills in terms of the content and organisation of writing as well as the technical construction.
In Years 7 and 8 we use a range of texts to inspire our learners and ensure they have the grounding for success in our subject. Both fiction and non-fiction texts are covered across the curriculum including Shakespeare. A range of creative and real life writing styles are studied. 'The Community Project' in Year 7 forms the backbone of Year 7 encounters with employers and the community heroes of Westhoughton. Year 8 speeches and presentations also ensure Key Stage 3 students are confident in written and oral communication.
Students in Year 9 now start to engage and explore GCSE content such as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (pre 2018-19 Year 9 students studied 19th and 20th century short stories) and poetry. Each term, students study a broad curriculum of fiction and non-fiction linked by a theme.
Oracy is at the heart of developing our students' confidence and communication skills. We embrace the opportunities the subject allows to discuss and debate topical issues. As such, this allows the social, moral and spiritual development of students to be embedded within English and encourage students to grow into well-rounded citizens.
Year 10 and Year 11 study the Eduqas specifications for GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature.
Year 10 study A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Other texts studied in Year 10 include Woman in Black by Susan Hill and a range of Anthology poems. Students study Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth for their English Literature examination. We also incorporate English Language skills linking thematically to support knowledge retention and explore texts further.
Students have the opportunity to complete GCSE English Literature in Year 10.
Year 11 study a key text in order to transfer and develop relevant comprehension skills for English Language. These include some of the class teacher's personal favourites, such as To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Animal Farm by George Orwell to name but a few. Writing skills are explicitly taught in order to master specific text types when writing for particular purposes and audiences as required.
We ensure students are working at a proactive pace and the challenge of learning stretches students beyond their own expectations.
The daily learning diet of our Key Stage 4 students ensures they build on prior learning, acquire the knowledge necessary to succeed and are capable of being robust learners ready for the world beyond Westhoughton High School.

This time we decided to do something that would be a lot more fun. The other intern and myself lead two learning activities. One was a worksheet that helped the students to better understand the tight budget of our average customer and how our organization helps save individuals a lot of money on food. One of the mission trip groups that was helping out in the kitchen earlier that day was also able to participate in this activity. In total we had about 30 students.
The second activity was a life size board game. We placed sheets of construction paper to mimic the spaces on a board game. Students were divided into teams. The teams could move forward or backward on the board game spaces based on whether or not they answered the question correctly. They were given a nutritional question most of which were true or false. Many individuals were able to learn something about proper nutrition or about our service. The teams got pretty competitive and seemed to have a great time. At the end we gave them a quick survey to see if they enjoyed the activities. Most students said that they had a good time and would be willing to return as well as recommend this experience to a friend.
I really enjoy working with youth, particularly being able to educate them about nutrition in a fun way.

I'm not copying any files. I'm not running the installer. There are no registry entries yet because the program has not been installed. I was trying to make an autorun disc that ran the setup program once I double-clicked on the drive.
You're using the bad Verbatim. CMC MAG is the kind used in Verbatim Life series discs. CMC is the worst junk out there. Granted, I've never heard of Life Series making BD-R. Or are you using BD-RE? I noticed the write speed was 2x, which means you could be using BD-RE which makes sense with the BD-RE since Verbatim BD-RE are CMC junk. If you're using BD-RE, try Panasonic's discs.
Thank you for reply. Those files work fine with AnyBurn for example… mmh, but it must be closed source too (I'm not sure). Yes, can burn Enchanced CD starting from BIN/CUE, but can create them too? Can it create an image file from a new project with: 1st session with audio tracks + 2nd session with data track in CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 format?
They're all closed source formats, so I'm afraid it won't get any better. It can read Enhanced CD's to the BIN/CUE format and then burn them, yes.
Hello, I've installed Imgburn because is one of the very few burners able to decently manage old mixed mode discs (1 session: 1st track data, next tracks audio) for ancient Amiga/PC games of the '90... I also have Daemon Tools 10.10 Lite to mount and convert between file formats (bin+cue, nrg, mds/mdf....) and here is the problem with Imgbrun: trying to load a mds/mdf it reported a "Error: can only open mds version 1.x, this one is 2.1" :-( then with a .nrg file of a mixed mode CD it says can only manage nrg files single track :-( ...so my question is: will these formats compatibility improved anytime soon? It is a great burning software but the partial compatibility with some common formats make it... meh... for some tasks. Last question: can ImgBurn burn/create images in Enhanced CD mode ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Book_(CD_standard) ) too?
I am trying to burn a short home-made movie 1920x1080 25i H.264 to Blu-ray disc. Every time I try it says I/O Error! Synchronise Cache failed. Reason: Write Error. Incompatible Format. The discs I'm using are Verbatim.
M-Disc for data backup, proper "Image Options"
Definitely read only is all I need. I'd assume M-discs were one way one time anyway. In any case, I'm writing with the intent of long term storage. Thanks you very much for the help.
UFD 2.60 is "read only" in Windows 7/Vista/8/10, whatever that means. So, as long as you don't format the M-Disc as a giant floppy for future additions of files, which ImgBurn doesn't do, I don't see you'd have a problem reading it in Windows 7. But, to be safe, you could probably enable UDF 2.50, just to be sure, since that is both read and write enabled in Windows 7. You'd probably only encounter problems with older UDF and ISO9660 with filenames that contained odd characters, like Japanese.
Filenames are just "normal" windows filenames, longer than 8 characters. Typical documents, executable, photo files. I would like them to be readable in Windows 7 but could live with 10+. What would change to make it compatible with Win 7 ? Thanks for the help.
Yes, I'd blame the UME discs, too. The only really good options for DL discs are Verbatim DataLife Plus/AZO discs or TDK DL discs. Don't get the Verbatim Life series you find in stores. They'll be cheap CMC junk. You can only find the good stuff online.
Really, you won't have to worry about any setting for data backups to M-Disc. There's nothing special about M-Discs that requires any special changes to image file settings. It depends on what you're backing up. Depending on the file names and characters used in them, you may get by using ISO9660, but I'd recommend staying with UDF purely. Whenever I do data backups, I always use UDF 2.60. The discs read fine in Windows 10. You may not want to use UDF or such a newer revision if you want the discs to be readable on older versions of Windows that don't support UDF or the latest revision of UDF.
Long time imgburn user and contributor. About to burn my first M-disc. I have a LG full height player that says M-disc on it's front (Model BE16NU50). 100G M-disc, this will be a data file backup. What are the best settings to create this disc with? : Mode 1 or 2? UDF only or UDF+ISO9660, or something else? Which UDF revision? Anything else I need to know? Damn discs are pricey, I want to get it right on first try for obvious reasons.
UME are not good DL discs. Just try another one. If it fails again, invest in some decent MKM-003-00 discs, as per the pinned thread about DL media.

Maximum number of files allowed in a folder?
What is the maximum number of files allowed in a folder in an image Build job? Is it dependent on the file system chosen? Is it 9,999? Is it that Windows 10/NTFS has a maximum number of files allowed in a folder limit of 9,999? I thought there was some kind of file number limit to 9,999 at some point in history. Did a little digging. The maximum for NTFS is 4,294,967,295. But, what about ISO9660 or UDF on an optical disc? Thanks!
Right click the device selection drop down box and pick 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt that comes up and then copy+paste everything from the Log window again please. It could just be a driver issue.

ianymaty, If you read my earlier postings, you will note that they related to ImgBurn. My latest post, to which you refer, was merely in response to your and dbminter postings. Provided, incidentally, for information only. Maybe I needn't have bothered. I am aware of and have indeed been communicating in DVDstyler Forum, which is also mentioned in my previous postings.
About my buying from NewEgg. I usually buy from Amazon.com, but sometimes there's no choice. For instance, Amazon.com rarely has the LG WH16NS60 available, but NewEgg does. Or it will be a case where the same reseller offers the same drive on Amazon.com and NewEgg, but sells it cheaper on NewEgg. It's not that NewEgg sells junk. The drive will be whatever it is when it arrives from the manufacturer. For instance, I want to get a WD 512 GB SDD HDD from Amazon.com, but they currently don't have it. Only resellers on Amazon.com do. So, I'll probably have to get it from NewEgg. NewEgg was the only seller who had the WD My Passport 4 TB portable mechanical USB HDD. Amazon.com didn't have it. And, of course, after I got mine from NewEgg, my local Target store had them on sale! But, the price was on par with what I paid for it on sale from NewEgg. I could have saved on the shipping, though.
From Premiere export the project to DVD Folder than burn that folder content (VIDEO_TS folder) with ImgBurn.
You should go to DVDStyler Forum and ask there for help and guidance with that problem. This is ImgBurn Forum and we will help you with ImgBurn related problems if you need.


With rubber armor, BaK-4 prisms, fully multi-coated optics and a wide-angle field of view, the Legacy WP 8X42 binoculars are the most affordable of the Bushnell's we have reviewed to date. But don't hold its low budget price against it. This is also one of the most popular binoculars in Bushnell's range with loads happy shoppers giving it a great rating online.
This bino squeezed its way into our reviews since we found it to be the most impressive of Bushnell's low budget selection. It's got a nice, economical price of around $85 that might just be the sweet spot for Bushnell fans. It's the all-purpose, all-weather, and all-budget binocular.
Although some might find it bland as far as additional bells and whistles go, the Legacy WP is certainly sweet enough for us.
What do I mean by sweet? The Legacy series binoculars have outdone themselves with all the sugary coatings of optimal optical performance without the bitter tasting cost. Check out our Q&A to get a sample of what the Legacy WP has to offer.
Bushnell uses BaK-4 prism glass to provide hunters with excellent glass quality, optimal clarity, and bright images. You might understand these benefits, but what exactly is BaK-4? BaK is an acronym for BaritleichKron that is German for Barium Crown.
In layman's terms, it means that it's going to have a higher refractive index in prism systems to allow more usable light to reach the eyepiece.
This means a brighter edge of the field of view for an overall brighter picture. You'll also see that BaK-4 prism glass is used in very high-end binoculars. It's satisfying to see that Bushnell doesn't skimp on their low budget optics.
What level of coatings does the low budget binoculars have?
This Legacy WP 8X42 binoculars has fully multi-coated lens. If you know anything about optics, you'd know that this is the maximum amount of coating quality you can get. For an optic under $100, it's rare to see this level of multiple coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. Score!
What are the 'twist up eye cups' on this Bushnell Legacy?
Twist up eye cups are often asked about, especially by people who may wear glasses. The thing to remember about optics are, they're not individualized or made deferentially for those who wear specs and those who don't – enter here, the invention of eye cups.
Eye cups sit around the frame of the eyepiece and are retractable in many different forms.
There's been the rolling, folding, and even sliding styles that you'll come across in binoculars. But, the twist up eye cups are by far the most popular. As you twist the eye cups up or down it changes the amount of eye relief available to you so that you can appropriately adjust for whether or not you wear a set of specs.
It will also affect picture quality and field of view if you haven't properly positioned the eye cups to the appropriate distance for your eyes.
What is the exit pupil on the Legacy WP?
The 8X42 binoculars have an exit pupil of 5.25 mm. This is actually almost the ideal amount of exit pupil for most people for low light conditions, but what about day time use and bright conditions?
During the day, the human pupil is only capable of dilating to about 2 to 4 mm. So, having about 5 mm of exit pupil is going to be plenty big enough to get the right amount of light for maximum picture quality during the day.
Are there any other models in the series?
The 8X42 is only one of three models in Bushnell's Legacy WP line. The 8X42 is the smallest of the lot with the 10X50 coming in second and the 10-22X50 coming in as the grand finale. The 10-22X50 is the outstanding model of the lot with the variable zoom power that will cost you an additional $40 more. Not bad though for an entry level optic with an entry level price.
To glass it up, the Bushnell Legacy WP 8X42 binoculars impress in the optic field. It has everything you could want from a binocular that's anything but basic which is why we named it one of our top picks for a bino under $100. Bushnell focused on quality versus pimping it out with additional bells and whistles. While it might be too heavy for many hunters, it falls right in line with other comparable binos.
For a little more mag power, you could go with the Excursion HD 10X42 binoculars. However, the popularity and cost savings happens to be the Legacy's field of expertise. But, if you're curious about having a few more perks on your bino, the Excursion is ready to impress.
To truly appreciate the low cost of the Legacy bino, you'll have to check out the Celestron TrailSeeker 8×42 pair. They're excellent in every way possible, but the price jump might make you wince. However, with a near-perfect rating online, you might just be willing to bite the bullet.
If you couldn't tell by now, the Legacy binoculars are a steal of a buy, it's probably why it's on the best-seller ranks. The price couldn't be better. Would you expect less from Bushnell?

MP angry over demolition of historic old Parliament building
The Member of Parliament for Adaklu, Kwame Agbodza, has called on the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), to halt the further destruction of Ghana's old Parliament building.
According to him, Parliament has not been duly informed over the damage being caused to the building.
Four years after fire destroyed portions of the Old Parliament House, portions of the building have been pulled down to pave way for a new one to be constructed.
The demolished building is an old structure that housed the Gold Coast Legislative Assembly from 1951 when Dr. Kwame Nkrumah became the leader of Government Business under British rule.
"This is not the way we should build this country and I'm going to urge Parliament to exercise some jurisdiction on this site so that we can restore this site to its historical value so that posterity will know how our parliament evolved. Maybe Speaker or leadership of Parliament is aware, but as a Member of Parliament and the only architect in the House, I'm not aware, and I think that the people of this country need to know."
"If you don't know what you want to build now why are you demolishing the old one? What I'm saying is that, whatever they want to do, they must pause now and do proper consultation…Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is lying just opposite of the road and watching what we are doing and I'm not sure he is happy," he added.
The Commissioner of CHRAJ, Joseph Whittal, defended the action saying although they failed to secure a permit from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly before pulling down the structure, it was necessary for safeguarding the health and safety of the workers of CHRAJ.
CHRAJ has been accused of usurping the authority of the AMA by proceeding to demolish the building without getting the required permit from the AMA.
But Joseph Whittal told Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show that, "since the burning in 2013, that section has posed a health hazard," adding that "indeed every person who works around those places knows that indeed this is unhealthy because we are breathing in the fumes and all those things."
"The part that is burnt is beyond recovery and so since 2013, we have made efforts to have this taken out. We have informed the AMA, unfortunately, we've not had funds, it is only this year that we had funds from the central government to demolish and reconstruct the old Chamber and the adjoining offices," he added.

Fairbanks, Alaska, offers auroral viewing possibilities at the place where Sydney Chapman spent a large part of his career. This venue, along with our anticipation of new knowledge expected from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission on how magnetic field lines from the Sun and Earth connect and the impending arrival of NASA's Juno spacecraft at Jupiter's magnetosphere on 4 July 2016, provided a perfect confluence of factors for our fall 2015 review of magnetospheric dynamics. The Chapman Conference format proved to be ideal: More than 100 participants engaged in an intense 5-day discussion of all aspects of magnetospheric physics, culminating in an all-day discussion of the preliminary results of MMS.
On Monday, the first day, Vytenis Vasyliunas presented a keynote lecture on comparing magnetospheres. Fran Bagenal and Peter Delamere followed up with perspectives on expected Juno contributions. They also compared the interactions of the solar wind with the giant planets' magnetospheres and with Earth.
The speakers discussed how magnetospheres of Saturn and Jupiter are driven mainly by planetary rotation but also have important reconnection phenomena (the Vasyliunas and Dungey cycles, which involve reconnection along a stretched closed field line and reconnection of two open field lines, respectively). These cycles cause plasma circulation in the magnetosphere and dynamic auroral displays, which offer many opportunities for comparison with Earth's magnetosphere.
In Tuesday's keynote lecture, Jim Drake identified two fundamental routes to fast reconnection: through the formation of a steady open outflow channel (from Hall reconnection, where ion dynamics control the reconnection rate, and through the formation of a bursty outflow channel in which magnetic islands carry plasma downstream). This talk was followed by Paul Cassak's discussion of the asymmetric reconnection phenomena that occur at Earth's dayside magnetopause.
Also on Tuesday was Li-Jen Chen's presentation of preliminary MMS electron-scale measurements in a possible reconnection diffusion region, in which magnetic energy is converted to particle energy, causing the magnetic field lines in the solar wind and the magnetosphere to break and reconnect, one to the other. Jimmy Raeder and Yu Lin presented global magnetosphere modeling results. Afterward, Amitava Bhattacharjee discussed the integration of kinetic effects into these models.
On Wednesday, Howard Singer gave a keynote talk on space weather, and Bob Schunk brought us up to date on the theory and modeling of ionospheric outflow and its effects on the magnetosphere. A record-setting 16-inch (0.4-meter) September snowstorm that morning knocked out power to the meeting hotel for 9 hours. No sessions were planned for that afternoon, thankfully. After the weather cleared, some attendees who stayed up late saw a demonstration of Earth's magnetospheric effects in the form of a spectacular aurora.
On Thursday, Jim Klimchuk gave a talk on magnetic reconnection in the solar corona, noting that reconnection on the Sun at the base of magnetic loops seems to be patchy and irregular. It remains to be seen whether this is an important aspect of reconnection in the magnetosphere. On the basis of the dayside tail reconnection system, Joe Kan proposed that the transport of solar wind kinetic energy by tail lobe current loops powers magnetic storms and auroral substorms by driving the global earthward convection into the inner magnetosphere and down to the oval ionosphere by field-aligned currents. Chris Chaston discussed energizing plasmas from the plasma sheet to inner magnetosphere by kinetic Alfvén waves. Mei-Ching Fok discussed the earthward convection that dominates the storm time ring current buildup and the very low frequency waves that enhance the fluxes of relativistic electrons during storm recovery.
The conference gave us a look at what's next in our field, now that the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission is supplying, and Juno will supply, an unprecedented depth and breadth of data.
The Friday session focused on preliminary MMS results, starting with an overview by Jim Burch showing features of the high-resolution data set during crossings of the magnetopause. He noted that the MMS data would become openly available as of 1 March 2016 (these data are now available). Craig Pollock and Tai Phan gave reports on the unprecedented time scales and accuracies of MMS's plasma measurements, and Roy Torbert and Bob Strangeway reported on the spacecraft's magnetic and electric field measurements. Stephen Fuselier described ion composition effects on reconnection, and Barry Mauk and Joe Fennell described energetic particle observations.
We enjoyed the conference: It provided a good assessment of our current understanding of magnetospheric dynamics. It also gave us a look at what's next in our field, now that MMS is supplying, and Juno will supply, an unprecedented depth and breadth of data.

Picking the tops and bottom of the currency pair in forex trading can be very intimidating and requires a great level of accuracy. It's highly advised not to trade against the prevailing trend, yet there are some professional traders who trade the reversal of the trend using the simple 1 2 3 reversal pattern trading strategy. The key support and resistance level of the market is marked in the major currency pairs by the traders where they apply the simple formula of 1 2 3 trading strategy to trade the market.
Let's see how the professional trader uses the 123 reversal trading strategy in the key resistance level.
Most of the time major trend reversal in any financial instrument occurs in the major key support and resistance level. Traders consider these level as potential reversal zone. 1 2 3 trading strategy is based on a simple wave formula which can pin out PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone) very accurately in the market. In general, the momentum of the market tends to exhaust while it comes significantly closer to the key Support and resistance level of the market. Traders look for exhausting in the momentum of trade which gives the prior indication of the formation of 1 2 3 patterns near the key levels of the market.
In the above figure, the EURJPY rejected the major key resistance level and forms the highest peak in the pair (Point 1) in the long term daily uptrend. After the rejection, the market falls back to form a new low, often referred as point 2 of the pattern. This acts as the temporary support of the pair. From that supports the market rallies upward and ultimately fails to break the previous high and forms point 3 of the pattern.
After all the three points are plotted in the graph traders wait patiently to trade the reversal of the financial instrument. In the above figure, short entry was triggered by the trader when the market breaks the recent low of the pair or the point 2.
There are two ways to enter short in this pattern. Conservative traders use the price action confirmation signal to enter shortly after the valid break of the point 2. The aggressive traders enter "short" with a bearish candle closing below the low of point 2.
The stop loss is generally set above the point 3 in the case of bearish reversal signal. Professional traders don't use fixed take profit rather they use trailing stop loss features to maximize their profits. Trading this pattern is extremely simple and profitable. To master the art of 123 reversal pattern trading strategy, traders must know how to find important support and resistance level of the pair. The important support level is often referred as the long term swing movement of the pair. Some traders use daily and weekly charts to draw the major swing high and swing low of the pair. They look for the potential trading opportunity near the major swing of the pair which occurred in the longer time frame.

Malaysia detains 4 Indians, seizes drugs, 5,255 turtles
SEPANG, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia authorities have arrested four Indians and seized more than 14 kilograms of drugs and over 5,000 turtles from their luggage at the Kuala Lumpur airport.
Senior customs official Zulkarnain Mohamed Yusof said Wednesday that agents found a total 5,255 red-ear slider baby turtles kept in small baskets from the luggage of two Indian nationals who flew in from Guangzhou, China on June 20.
He said the men had no permits for the turtles and told investigators that the terrapins, estimated to be worth $12,700, were meant to be sold as pets in India. The men are expected to be charged and could face up to five years in jail and a fine, he said.
The red-ear sliders are one of the world's most commonly traded turtles meant for the pet and meat markets. Permits are required as young turtles are susceptible to carrying salmonella and pose health concerns.
Separately, Zulkarnain said officials also found a total of 14.34 kilograms of methamphetamine worth 717,000 ringgit ($174,000), hidden in special compartments in boxes that were hand-carried by two men. One of them flew in from Hyderabad, India on June 19 and another on June 20 from Bengaluru, he said in a statement.
The two men, believed to be drug mules, are expected to be charged and face the death penalty if convicted.
