After this cold cry was made, the black fog that spread over the distant sky fluctuated before scattering apart. A blue figure slowly stepped through the air. Within a couple of flashes, the figure appeared a thousand feet from Xiao Yan.
"I was wondering who it was. It is actually you, a homeless stray. Unexpectedly, you possess the courage to return to this place… in that case, I will also capture you and bring you back with the rest." The ninth Tianzun's eyes looked at Xiao Yan in a chilly manner as he coldly laughed.
Xiao Yan smiled. If he had met this ninth Tianzun before entering the Heavenly Tomb, things might have been a little troublesome. However, just Xiao Yan's current strength was no weaker than his. If they were to exchange blows, Xiao Yan was confident he could force the ninth Tianzun to remain here forever.
Xiao Yan has never feared anyone within the same level!
The ninth Tianzun coldly cried out. However, he did not attack immediately. He was no fool. He could tell that Xiao Yan's strength had improved by leaps and bounds because he had seriously injured Shi Tian with just one strike. Hence, he would naturally be a little careful, given his cautious nature.
Xiao Yan's eyes swept over the three black-robed old men who had suddenly appeared. These three were clearly experts from the Hall of Souls. Their strengths were also around that of an eight star Dou Zun. Thus, they were relatively strong. It seemed that theses were the four eight star Dou Zun experts mentioned in the information Xiao Yan had obtained.
The three Hu elders managed to find the time to come to Xiao Yan's aid after stabilizing the situation. The three of them were quite well-known in the Central Plains region. Hence, they were not afraid of the Hall of Souls, so their tones were a little rude.
The expression of the ninth Tianzun in the sky sank when he saw the three Hu elders. He immediately let out a cold laugh. From the looks of it, he had clearly heard of the Hu elders.
"Ha ha, other people might be afraid of your Hall of Souls, but we are not. This world is so huge. Do you really think that your Hall of Souls can dominate it?" The eldest Hu brother curled his mouth. He did not pay heed to this threat from the ninth Tianzun.
Xiao Yan slightly smiled and immediately nodded upon hearing the words of the eldest Hu brother. The three Hu elders were also eight star Dou Zuns. It would not be a problem for them to deal with three experts of similar strength.
"Ha ha, in that case, let's see who will be able to finish off their opponent first…" The oldest Hu brother loudly laughed. Dou Qi surged out of his body in all directions. The second and third Hu brothers followed close behind. After which, they separated and rushed to attack the other two black-robed elders.
Those three black-robed elders chuckled in a sinister tone when they saw the three old Hu brothers rushing over. Dark fog surged out of their bodies as they moved, transforming into three black balls of smoke that heavily collided with the Hu brothers. Immediately, frightening energy fluctuations swiftly expanded.
The ninth Tianzun frowned when he saw the six individuals engage in a fight within an instant. He had not expected Xiao Yan to bring so many experts from the Central Plains.
A glint flashed over the ninth Tianzun's eyes before a ferocious glow appeared in them. He clenched his hand without any unnecessary words and dark chilly air swiftly gathered. It finally turned into a layer of black crystals that covered his right hand. At the same time, his foot stepped through empty air and his body disappeared in a strange manner in front of many gazes.
The faces of the Yan Alliance experts on the wall became anxious when they saw the ninth Tianzun disappearing in a flash.
Xiao Yan in the sky merely shook his head. He waved his hand to strike the empty space beside him with lightning-like speed. An illusory figure immediately appeared from the spot where the wind from his palm reached. A dark and chilly palm violently clashed with Xiao Yan's hand.
A wind containing a dark chill mixed with a strong heat before erupting from the point of contact as both palms clashed. Space itself was shaken until it became distorted.
The powerful wind erupted and the ninth Tianzun's body appeared, but his expression changed because of the hot and cold forces that were erupting around his arm like floodwater. A groan was emitted from his throat as he was forced back over a dozen steps. Shock immediately surged onto his face. After an initial exchange, he had suddenly realized that the current Xiao Yan had reached the eighth star of the Dou Zun class!
The ninth Tianzun clearly remembered when he met with Xiao Yan half a year ago. Back then, Xiao Yan had just reached the fifth star. Although he had sensed that Xiao Yan's aura had soared, he had not expected this great increase to reach such a terrifying extent.
The experts of the Yan Alliance on the wall erupted into a cheer when they saw Xiao Yan had obtained the upper hand in a head-on clash with the ninth Tianzun. A shock that could not be hidden also appeared in their eyes. By being able to force the ninth Tianzun, who was an eight star Dou Zun, back, the strength of the current Xiao Yan must have reached that of an eight star Dou Zun.
Hai Bodong and the rest faced each other. He helplessly sighed a moment later During these years, he had relied on the medicinal pills accumulated by the Yan Alliance to breakthrough to the Dou Zong class after experiencing much difficulty. Originally, he thought that he was fairly quick, but there was no way for them to even compare with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head when he saw the ninth Tianzun's shock. Xiao Yan's strength had reached the peak of an eight star Dou Zun. The ninth Tianzun was now a little weaker than Xiao Yan. Back then, Xiao Yan had already been able to engage the ninth Tianzun in an intense battle with just the strength of a five star Dou Zun. Now, this so-called ninth Tianzun no longer posed even the slightest threat to him.
The ninth Tianzun's face immediately turned a little green when he heard Xiao Yan's words. A seal was formed by his hand with lightning-like speed as a muffled cry was emitted from his throat. The dark chilly air around them swiftly gathered into many thousand-foot-tall energy palms after this cry sounded. Palm wind whistled and furiously struck at Xiao Yan from all directions.
Faced with the ninth Tianzun's powerful attack, Xiao Yan stepped through empty space and acted like he was taking a leisurely stroll. Many after-images appeared, causing the many large energy palms to miss. Some of the large energy palms that could not be dodged were forcefully shattered with a flick of Xiao Yan's wrist.
Xiao Yan stepped through empty air in front of the countless number of gazes present. He stepped closer and closer to the ninth Tianzun. Regardless of how the red-faced ninth Tianzun tried to block Xiao Yan, he was unable to cause Xiao Yan to pause for even a moment. Watching this battle, everyone understood that Xiao Yan's strength had far surpassed the ninth Tianzun's strength!
A purple-brown flame rose in Xiao Yan's hand and forcefully shattered an enormous energy palm that was approaching his body before his footsteps finally came to a stop. He lifted his head and looked at the ninth Tianzun, whose expression was a little pale. A faint smile appeared. They were both eight star Dou Zuns, but Xiao Yan's strength had surpassed him by many times. Adding the Ancient Insect Emperor Cloth and the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor, the ninth Tianzun's attacks were no longer able to harm him. This battle, which was on a completely different level, did not have any meaning from the beginning.
Regardless of how ugly the ninth Tianzun's expression was when he watched Xiao Yan shatter his attacks, he had to admit that his current strength was no match for Xiao Yan. He decisively clenched his teeth and stomped a foot on empty air, causing his body to suddenly withdraw.
The ninth Tianzun's expression suddenly became pale as he sensed the annihilation aura that spread over with lightning-like speed. With Xiao Yan's current strength, unleashing a Tian class Dou Skill like the Great Heaven Creation Palm was like the sickle of a death god for the ninth Tianzun!
The ninth Tianzun suddenly lowered his head while his heart was covered with an aura of death. He looked at the ground below and his voice sharply cried out.

Gulf brownfield project addresses safety challenges and solutions-full
The Auger/Cardamom tie-in project presented numerous safety challenges, including weight and stability issues, tight tolerances, and large structural and equipment additions. Solutions to these challenges included use of laser scanning technology, pre-planning with hazard assessments and constructability reviews, weight mitigation efforts, and continual interface on safety issues with all project phase participants. Video conferencing tools were frequently used to link design with operations and construction. Project operator Shell worked with Jacobs Engineering to incorporate safety values and processes into every phase to produce solid project results.

Laser scanning, HAZIDS key to successful Cardamom project
Jason D. Cardon
Floating production projects are continuing to move forward in theGulf of Mexico (GoM) at a robust pace; and in addition to announced greenfield projects, an increasing number of brownfield developments are being undertaken.
Many of these developments have subsea completions tying back to existing floating infrastructures that serve as host production facilities. These brownfieldtiebacks use new subsea manifolds, risers, umbilicals, and flowlines. They can be a preferable option as a means of expanding production capacity or extending the life of existing floating facilities.
Subsea tiebacks optimize capex by using as much existing infrastructure as possible while still trying to maximize the profitability of capital projects.
Brownfield versus greenfield
Brownfield production expansion projects differ greatly from greenfield work. Greenfield topsides facilities can be engineered to be discrete, self-contained modules, capable of being lifted in place onshore and transported as part of an integral floating structure or floated offshore to be lifted into their final position.
Alternatively, brownfield tieback projects often require extensive offshore modifications to the topsides production capabilities on the hub facility. This is especially true if there were previous capacity increases. Brownfield project work can have unique safety issues with project execution being done simultaneously alongside ongoing facility operations. As is the case on greenfield projects, safety precautions and code adherence are important on all brownfield project phases, from front-end engineering and design (FEED) through commissioning.
In modifying or retrofitting an existing structure in brownfield work, engineers and designers must evaluate the existing infrastructure and meld new capabilities conforming to current industry safety standards. Appropriate equipment, industry safety requirements, and increased production capacities often need to be inserted into an existing deck layout in which less suitable equipment is demolished or dismantled to make room for the new additions.
Weight management is also a significant part of a brownfield tieback project. Subsea tieback flowlines and umbilicals, larger production equipment, and additional manpower capacity increase topsides weight, and can alter its center of gravity (Cg), impacting topsides structural stability and hull buoyancy. To maintain the lightest topsides weight and remove weight while making multiple modifications and additions, constant weight monitoring and minimization efforts are required during the design and every subsequent phase of the project.
Shutdowns might be required as some of the brownfield work cannot be done while the platform is in operation, but since extended shutdowns for platform reconfiguration or refurbishment curtail production, time and schedule are of the essence. Extensive front-end planning, constructability assessments, and increased engineering efforts are necessities. New and replacement equipment footprints must be exact. Hazard assessments (HAZIDS) need to be conducted to identify and mitigate potential health, safety and environment (HSE) risks for construction and operating worker safety.
Increased personnel onboard requires constant attention and assessment in order to maintain a safe number of construction workers interacting in close proximity with operating personnel in a facility designed primarily for operations only. Ongoing simultaneous operations reviews (SIMOPS) help operating and construction personnel perform critical tasks while working safely together in confined spaces.
Addressing operations and safety
The Royal Dutch Shell plc-owned and operatedAuger TLP facility, producing since 1994 in more than 2,800 ft (853 m) of water in Garden Banks block 426, approximately 225 mi (362 km) southwest of New Orleans, has accommodated seven subsea tiebacks. The most recent, due to be completed in 2014, ties-in the Cardamom development in adjacent block 427 with a subsea system that includes up to five subsea wells, a dual 8-in. flowline, and an umbilical.
In addition to the subsea infrastructure, Cardamom required significant modifications to the existing Auger topsides facilities. Jacobs did the engineering, design, and procurement on the alterations needed to add Cardamom's field production to Auger. The project team was involved in all constructability reviews, HAZIDs, leadership visits, and design/build interface. Major topsides changes required demolition of existing structures including a helideck, motor control center building, high pressure nitrogen storage system, chemical injection systems, and test separator with installations of newer structures and equipment as replacements.
Weight and space influences
Weight and space considerations on the Auger facilities were critical in adding production capacity while maintaining the overall topsides footprint and stability. Weight distribution and Cg issues were under constant review during all design phases and were a major part of the project management emphasis. Throughout multiple demolition and installation phases, equipment arrangements were adjusted, necessitating temporary relocations. Extensive pre-planning and continual monitoring assured that weight was minimized and that onboard personnel safety issues and risk avoidance were addressed while this work was performed.
Constructability and safety
All major equipment additions and modifications involved safety considerations in design, removal, and installation. Jacobs provided the offshore demolition and installation crews with 3D Plant Design Management Safety (PDMS) model drawings taken from laser scans so they could readily understand and follow the sequential removal and installation procedures.
With the exception of shut-ins for demolition, space creation and equipment installation for capacity expansion, the facility was in full production. Even during the shut-ins, maintenance and platform integrity work were ongoing, making SIMOPS planning and management essential.
Among the major modifications and their safety solutions included:
Flowline coolers addition. With space at a premium on this existing facility, the only available space to install 16 new flowline coolers was in an area vacated in the facility's well bay by removing and relocating existing wells and flowlines. It was decided that the safest installation would be to construct a 40 ft (12 m) tall by 30 ft (9 m) wide by 15 ft (5 m) deep support structure onshore for a single lift and install.
This decision eliminated a "stick-built" installation with extensive hot work over water in the confined well bay. Leading-edge laser scanning and 3D modeling assured the exact dimensions of the structure before it left the fabrication yard and its correct positioning on the barge to facilitate a straight lift into its final position. For safety and fit, scanning was done of the offshore work area to eliminate any structural or piping clashes, and to ensure the well bay was of sufficient size for the new equipment's installation.
Vertical guide rails, installed in the well bay, maximized the safe installation of the structure, allowing it to freely ride down the rails without lateral movement while fully supported by the crane hook. Tugger winches assisted the frame into its final position. Precise design and extensive planning provided a safe means of installation with minimal human intervention and assured that no personnel were working under the suspended structure.
MCC building installation. The Cardamom upgrade removed an existing subsea infrastructure motor control center (MCC) structure, replacing it with a new, larger 23-ton building. Strict lock out/tag out procedures conforming to company and industry standards assured that construction personnel were further protected during demolition and installation.
After temporary relocation of a deck section, air compressor and air dryer cylinders, the new MCC building was placed by the deck crane on pre-calculated, precisely placed I-beam cribbing for installation with extremely tight clearances. No personnel were allowed under the suspended load; rather, tugger winches maneuvered the building into its final position. Operations and deck coordinators secured the area during relocations, demolition, and installation, ensuring that personnel worked at a safe distance from the building until it was finally positioned.
Helipad replacement. Safe and rapid egress from a floating facility is a major consideration for personnel safety. The new helideck design replaced a small primary deck and separate parking helideck, and combined them into a larger, single deck with increased capacity for larger helicopters to facilitate expedited crew changes, if needed. Ingress and egress were improved with a design that widened the stairway to accommodate a stretcher, and all helicopter flight operations were moved closer to the living quarters, eliminating the need to walk through the process areas. To aid in safe baggage handling and equipment drayage, an automated baggage handling system was designed and installed so crew members could focus solely on maintaining a three-point contact while climbing to the helipad or disembarking.
The helideck installation relied on laser scanning for pre-planning onshore and placement of stabbing guides offshore, assuring a precise alignment and positioning of the four-legged structure with only minimal worker involvement. Center of gravity adjustments with counterweights assisted rigging configuration and set-down reactions to keep the helideck structure safely in compression. Safety hooks and tension struts added stability to the helideck's rear legs for safe and expedited welding without the possibility of uplift.
It is imperative for safety to be an integral part in the design, construction, and installation of operating features in a brownfield facility. A safety mindset needs to be embedded in the culture of all participating companies, shared by all who are involved in a project.
The results of any project's focus on eliminating hazards should be verified through safety and constructability reviews and HAZIDs executed early on in the project before the detailed design is frozen. Buy-in from operations, HSSE, construction and engineering is necessary before going forward.
Precautions to avert safety incidents must be implemented into the design with a heavy focus on the fabrication and construction phases of the project. Pre-planning for accident aversion also needs to be part of the engineering and design scope of work for all facets of the project, including onshore lifting/loadout, transportation, offshore lifts, demolition of existing equipment and systems, installation, commissioning, and life cycle operation. In addition to the oversight by experienced engineers and constructors, early engagement of operations management, fabricators, and vendors in the design will help maintain a safe brownfield project.
The Auger/Cardamom tie-in project was not typical. It was complex and presented numerous safety challenges, such as weight and stability issues, tight tolerances, and large structural and equipment additions. Solutions included innovative use of laser scanning technology, pre-planning with HAZIDs and constructability reviews, weight mitigation efforts, and continual interface on safety issues with all project participants. Video conferencing was frequently used to link design with operations and construction, keeping participants connected in real-time and minimizing offshore flights for "non-essential" personnel. Shell's and Jacobs' compatible company-wide safety cultures and initiatives positively impacted the project's total safety awareness, incorporating safety values and processes into every phase to produce solid project results.

Microsoft Goes Hollywood With 'Xbox Originals' TV Shows
David M. Ewalt
I focus on the intersection of games and technology.
Microsoft opened a new front in its war to control consumers' living rooms on Monday, announcing that it is developing a dozen original television programs that will be broadcast exclusively to owners of its devices.
The programs, collectively referred to as Xbox Originals, include documentaries, reality shows, and scripted dramas and comedies. The're being developed by Xbox Entertainment Studios, a Microsoft subsidiary created in 2012 in order to make "interactive television content" for the company's Xbox game consoles and Xbox Live online service.
"What we're interested in is giving subscribers a reason to stay on our platform," says Nancy Tellem, president of Xbox Entertainment Studios, a TV industry veteran who formerly ran CBS Television Studios. "We're really focused on the fans of the Xbox, the millennials ...many of whom are not subscribing to cable, and use a console as their entertainment device."
Fanboy Wars: The Newest eBook From Forbes
The Fight For The Future Of Video Games is a warts-and-all look at the clashes between the video game business and its passionate fans.
The new programming is primarily targeted at young male consumers who might buy video game consoles from rivals Sony or Nintendo if Microsoft can't draw them in with a variety of games and entertainment. But it's also meant to appeal to non-gaming members of their households, and pull them into the Xbox ecosystem.
The Xbox Originals are commissioned by Microsoft and produced by outside companies exclusively for distribution on Microsoft platforms, much like the original programming developed by other upstart content networks like Netflix and Hulu, which is backed by Disney, NBCUniversal and 21st Century Fox.
Highlights of the programming include a six film documentary series tentatively called "Signal to Noise," which is produced by two-time Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn ("Searching for Sugar Man" and "Man on Wire") and Emmy winning producer Jonathan Chinn (FX's "30 Days" and PBS's "American High"). The series will consist of six distinct documentaries about technology, and each will be helmed by a high-profile director: The first in the series, directed by Zak Penn, explores the collapse of Atari Inc. after it released the disastrous 1982 video game flop E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. The production made headlines just this weekend when it successfully unearthed a giant cache of unsold copies of the game that had been dumped in the new Mexico desert.
Leading its new slate of content with a documentary series signals that Microsoft is "going to talk up to its audience, not down to it," says Jordan Levin, executive vice president of Xbox Entertainment Studios. "We view ourselves as a premium service." Signal to Noise will air exclusively on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in 2014, he says.
Another new program, the reality series "Every Street United," will follow soccer legends Thierry Henry and Edgar Davids as they search for the world's best amateur players, and have them compete in a four-on-four street game outside of the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The program will premiere in June 2014, and all episodes will be available through Xbox Video for Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows 8 (PC and Surface) and Windows Phone 8.
"Humans," a scripted drama that's an adaptation of a Swedish science-fiction program about robot servants that develop free will, consists of eight hour-long episodes, and will share a premiere broadcast window on the Xbox platform and Channel 4 in the UK in 2015.
A new series produced by Steven Spielberg based on the the Halo video game franchise was announced last year, and is still in the works, though it's not clear when it will debut and where.
Xbox Originals will also include coverage of live events, starting with a simulcast of the 13th annual Bonnaroo music and arts festival, which will be available via Xbox Live on Friday, June 13 through Sunday, June 15, 2014. A special free app available to all Xbox Live customers will allow users to watch all performances on two of the festival's stages, switch between multiple camera views, and join in backstage Skype conversations participating artists.
Microsoft has also commissioned a number of pilots for programs which may or may not go into full production, including "Extraordinary Believers," created by Robot Chicken producers Seth Green and Matt Senreich, which mixes live action and stop-motion animation into a Borat-like unscripted comedy; "Fearless," an action-packed reality series starring an Australian Navy bomb clearance diver and shark attack survivor Paul de Gelder; "Gun Machine", a detective thriller based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Warren Ellis; "Winterworld," a limited event live-action series based on Chuck Dixon and artist Jorge Zaffino's seminal graphic novel series; an untitled comedy/variety program made by JASH, the comedy collective founded by Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim and Eric and Reggie Watts; and "Deadlands," based on the successful pen-and-paper role playing game created by Shane Lacy Hensley, described as "a genre-bending alternative history of the Weird West, filled with undead gunfighters, card-slinging sorcerers, mad scientists, secret societies, and fearsome abominations."
In this video recorded last May at the E3 video game convention, Xbox Entertainment Studios head Nancy Tellem talks about Microsoft's approach to original programming and announces the Halo TV series:

Danai Gurira is the latest cover star for Shape magazine's latest issue and her body is serious #goals.
Danai, who was born in Iowa and grew up in Zimbabwe, talks to the magazine about founding an organization with a mission to bring awareness and support to issues affecting women and girls worldwide.
She says, "I consider everything I do that involves any degree of advocacy or service to be self-care. Stepping out of myself to help others is also a way of taking care of my soul, quite honestly. I don't feel good about who I am if I'm not connected to a larger issue."
If you love Danai's body as much as we do, then these tips might help you.
On her exercise regimen, she says:
For the last three years, I've worked out with my trainer, A.J. Fisher, three or four times a week. I started working with her when I got the role of Okoye. I was about to go into pre-production, and I felt like I needed to amp up my fitness and endurance. I call her the MacGyver of trainers because she can create an elaborate course in your living room with just a coffee table and a couple of resistance bands. She mixes things up—it's never the same workout, so your body can't get used to it. She uses methods I was already connected to, like the Alexander technique, yoga, and Pilates, and incorporates them into a very rigorous workout that enables me to strengthen and become more holistically stronger. For me, the coolest thing is when you feel the work pay off. You exercise a lot, and you're doing your job, shooting long hours. And then you go to work one day, and you have to do something physical…and your body just knows how to do it. That happened for me in The Walking Dead and Black Panther. I thought, Oh, my God, I did that, and it was not difficult. And I knew that my body was getting smarter as I was devoting hours to its upkeep. It delivered at the moments when I needed it to.
On eating clean, she says:
Five years ago, I made the decision to eat cleaner. I try to avoid dairy, I eat mainly fish, and I have a lot of vegetables. It doesn't make sense as a meal to me if there is no green on my plate. Eating this way truly made me feel better, and so I've stuck with it. I'm not a zealot about it, though. I really love fries, and I have them when I want to treat myself. Sometimes when I'm on a plane, I'll eat a little something I don't normally have because I'm like, Eh, I'm in the air, so it doesn't count. It's all about moderation.

Rarely seen in Australia, this South American herb has a really unique flavour and aroma that is a perfect match for vegetarian bean and lentil dishes.
Very similar to Papalo Porophyllum Coloratum but with a smaller leaf and flower, and faster growth.
Some say its like a spicy coriander, but to be honest I can't even describe it really. It is good, bloody good, and you can definitely use it as a substitute, but in my opinion it is much better. It's got a funky sort of muskiness to it that I really like.
Grows very easily, and with flowers and pods much like Tagetes species. Very drought tolerant, and very easy to grow this fella is worth addition to any herb or vegetable garden. Self-seeds if you let it, so once established it's something you can really let do its own thing.
Another thing I have noticed is a strong insect repellant effect with only the occasional cut worm having a chew, and it seems to even keep the grasshoppers away from nearby leafy Brassica crops. The closer they are to these guys, the less damage. Really quite dramatic the difference.
Plant them really shallow in a loose sandy soil mix then water really well until established, after that they are pretty hard to kill. Germination takes 2-6weeks here for me, and after that the growth is really rapid. Each plant produces a lot of seeds so you only need a couple plants to get you started with these guys.
NOT FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA or TASMANIA due to added expense and drama involved.

RUBICON 2: TONE Audio (US) review
The TONE Audio reviewer finds the RUBICON 2 speakers 'engaging' and 'captivating'.
"Toward the end of "Master Song," the second track on Leonard Cohen's breakout 1967 album, Cohen's pursing lips sound eerily present through the 1.1-inch soft dome tweeter of DALI's two-way Rubicon 2 speakers. " This is how the TONE Audio reviewer decides to begins his review of the OPTICON 1. And with that quote, the stage is set.
He then continues: "This remarkable tweeter reveals all the imperfections and detailed character of this vinyl pressing. Similarly, on "The Stranger Song," the speakers' 6.5-inch drivers pick up several mic pops — as Cohen hits phrases like "plays for shelter" and "holy game of poker" — doing so with jarring airiness, a result of the DALI speakers portraying this rough but rich recording with loads of nuance and clarity."
His opening conclusion is that it is details like these, that "immediately illustrate speaker quality". Furthermore the reviewer finds the speakers 'engaging' and 'captivating'.
"Their most praise-worthy characteristics are their accuracy, clarity, and broad frequency response, with an especially notable bass response for their size."


Too many people face poverty, stigma and isolation, denied the chance to go to school or earn a living, just because they have a disability. And every day people lose the ability to see hear or walk because of conditions that could easily be treated and prevented.

Huey Copeland Wins High Museum Driskell Prize for African-American Art History – – ARTnews

The High Museum of Art in Atlanta has named Huey Copeland the winner of its 2019 David C. Driskell Prize, which recognizes artists, historians, and curators who have made significant achievements in the field of African-American art history. Copeland will receive $25,000, and he will be honored in April at a dinner at the museum in recognition of the prize.
Copeland's writings on representations of blackness throughout art history have appeared in a number of venues, including Artforum, where he serves as contributing editor, and in his 2013 book Bound to Appear: Art, Slavery, and the Site of Blackness in Multicultural America, which focuses on how slavery continues to inform the practices of contemporary artists. He is a tenured associate professor at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and he is currently at work on two books—an anthology of his writings and a tome about black womanhood and Western art over the past few centuries.
Past winners of the Driskell Prize have included artists Amy Sherald and Mark Bradford and California African American Museum deputy director Naima J. Keith. This year's jury included art historian Kellie Jones; Richard Powell, a professor of art and art history at Duke University; and Michael Rooks, the High's curator of modern and contemporary art.
In a statement, Rand Suffolk, the High's director, said, "Dr. Copeland's extensive accomplishments as an art historian and educator make him a deserving recipient of this year's Driskell Prize. We are honored to support his work, which inspires the next generation of scholars and grows appreciation and awareness of the important role of African-American contemporary art in the broader art-historical canon."

DARTMOUTH, Mass. - Junior midfielder Rachel Hopkins (Chelmsford, Mass.) became the first Lancer in two seasons to score six goals in a game Tuesday night as the Worcester State University women's lacrosse team took care of UMass Dartmouth 17-4 in non-conference action at Cressy Field.
With the win, Worcester State claims its fifth consecutive win and improves to 7-2 overall on the season. The Corsairs drop to 4-7 on the year.
Hopkins is the first Lancer to record at least six goals in a game since Mackenzie Little scored seven in a win over Colby-Sawyer on April 19, 2017.
The visiting Lancers netted the first seven goals of the contest, including a hat trick from Hopkins and a pair of tallies from junior Kelly Austin (Brimfield, Mass.), but the host Corsairs responded with three unanswered markers to close back to within four on senior Brooke Martel's (Haverhill, Mass.) goal with 13:14 to play in the half. Worcester State collected five of the final six first half tallies to take a 12-4 advantage at the break, and the visitors scored all five goals after intermission to account for the final margin.
Junior Sam Muir (Sturbridge, Mass.) netted a pair of goals and an assist for three points in the setback for UMass Dartmouth, which received the first career tally off the stick of freshman Carrianne Fortier (Oxford, Mass.). Sophomore Chloe O'Brien (Sturbridge, Mass.) made four saves to pick up her seventh win of the season in goal for Worcester State, while senior Kaitlyn Burchill (Bridgewater, Mass.) made 19 stops in the setback for the Corsairs. The Lancers held a 43-11 advantage in total shots (36-8 on goal) and a 16-7 edge in draw controls for the contest.
UMass Dartmouth heads to Plymouth, N.H. on Saturday morning to take on Plymouth State in a Little East Conference clash beginning at 11:30 am, while Worcester State hosts Bridgewater State in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup on Saturday afternoon at Coughlin Field that begins at noon.


Monistat has become more and more popular among men and women. It is popularly known as an effective hair growth cream. Due to the hair growth benefits it can offer, it has been dubbed as a miracle cream. Of course, there are a lot of people who want to have longer, healthier hair. If you are one of them, keep on reading and know more about Monistat for hair growth.
Monistat is also known as , a certain anti fungal agent which is used to treat oral thrush in babies, yeast infections, ring worms, angular cheilitis, jock itch, and athlete's foot. This particular product is also used to reduce vaginal itching and burning, vaginal yeast infections, as well as discharge. It is famous in stopping the growth of fungus or yeast.
Apart from consumers, doctors got also curious of what Monistat can offer as a hair cream. Various doctors have conducted their own research in order to see whether this particular product can promote hair growth or not. A particular medical Mir was one of them. According to Dr. Mir's theory, Monistat might reduce the hair loss receptors in the scalp. In this connection, this would consequently promote hair growth. He said that this specific treatment is relatively safe for both genders, unless you have a very sensitive skin. In addition, the active ingredient in the product, which is Miconazole Nitrate, is not just an effective anti-fungal cream, it is also efficient in clearing up hair follicle clogging dandruff, oily scalp residue, as well as fungus infections.
When using Monistat for hair growth, you can use it straight from the tube. On the other hand, you can also use it with an applicator or other possible ways.
There are different ways on how you can apply the product to your scalp. It always depends on your choice. One of the possible ways of application is diluting it with water and then applying it to the scalp. On the other hand, you may also dilute it with hair oil and then application follows. Or if you want to, you can apply it to your scalp undiluted. If you believe you have a sensitive skin, it is best to make a test. Try to apply a small amount of Monistat to a tiny part of your own scalp. Do this for about 3 consecutive nights in order to see whether the product will cause allergies or not.
If you have decided to use Miconazole Nitrate for your hair, there are important things which you need to remember. In terms of the smell, usually it depends on the brand you use. You can opt for a particular brand that does not smell. Since the product is cream base, expect that it will be easily absorbed in the scalp. With this, after applying it you will not see any residue.
If you are curious as to how often you should apply, 2 to 3 times a week is the recommended usage. Other users apply it daily, while some people use the product every other day. Another important thing you need to know about using this product is the fact that it must not be used long term. According to most of its users, they only used the product for about 2 to 3 months only. It must be noted that consumers who are using this particular treatment might experience itchy scalp. This is actually normal. This is because the pores open up in order for the new hair strands to grow. It is also essential to remember that using the right technique is vital for best results. You may ask an expert as to how you can use the product efficiently and the proper way of using it according to your specific needs. You may also read success stories online and see how the product has helped a lot of people.

The University of Houston looked like it would be the first Group of 5 team to crash the College Football Playoff not long ago, but the 11th-ranked Cougars won't be reaching the national semifinals after a couple of bad games, including a loss. They still can reach a major bowl game, however, but have to win out. UH is a big favorite on NCAA football lines at in-state rival SMU on Saturday.
The Cougars held off Tulsa 38-31 last week. The game was tied at 31-31 when Emeke Egbule returned a fumble 24 yards for a touchdown with 1:21 remaining. Garrett Davis knocked the ball out of the hands of quarterback Dane Evans. Egbule scooped it up and dashed into the end zone for the score. Tulsa had a chance to tie it, but Jesse Brubaker was stopped just short of the goal line after a reception on the last play of the game to seal Houston's victory. It was a close call for the Cougars (6-1, 3-1 AAC) a week after Navy beat them 46-40 after a 5-0 start. Egbule's fumble recovered for a touchdown is Houston's 38th non-offensive touchdown since 2010 moving them into a tie for Utah for second in the NCAA during that span. Egbule's score is Houston's 16th defensive scoring play since 2013 and fourth score this season. With 96 rushing yards by Tulsa, it marked the sixth time this season Houston has held an opponent under 100 yards rushing. Senior quarterback Greg Ward Jr., finished the contest with a season-high 142 yards rushing on 25 carries. That marked the fifth time in his career he has carried the ball for more than triple digits. Ward Jr., improved to 24-3 as the Cougars' starting quarterback. He continues to hold Houston's career record with a .889 winning percentage and is the only starting quarterback in school history with a perfect season after going 13-0 in 2015. With 396 yards of total offense, Ward Jr., passed David Klingler (9,327 yards; 1988-91) to move into third on the Houston career total offense chart with 9,357 total yards. SMU and Houston will meet for the 32nd time, with the Cougars holding a 20-10- 1 lead. The Cougars have won the last three in the series.
The Mustangs were off last week and lost to Tulsa 43-40 in overtime the week before that. Josh Williams kicked a 25-yard field goal on the final play of regulation and added a 22-yarder on SMU's possession to open overtime. Ben Hicks threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns for the Mustangs (2-4, 0-2 AAC) and Braeden West had 124 yards and a TD on 22 carries. Senior defensive back Darrion Millines recorded his third interception of the season at Tulsa. SMU now has three players (Jordan Wyatt (4), Horace Richardson (4), Darrion Millines (3)) with three or more interceptions. SMU is the only FBS school with three players with three or more picks in 2016. As a squad, SMU has 13 INTs, which is second among all FBS schools, trailing only Troy. The Mustangs have had an interception in all six games this season. SMU is currently tied for fourth in the country in takeaways with 15 (two fumble recoveries). In 2015, SMU gained just 10 turnovers all season. Sophomore Courtland Sutton is SMU's top offensive threat. Sutton has 30 receptions for 590 yards, averaging 98.3 yards per game, good for 17th nationally. Sutton has four touchdowns in the first six games and he ranks seventh in the country at 19.7 yards per catch amongst receivers with at least 25 catches. Last year, SMU lost 49-28 to Houston as Ward ran for four touchdowns for the Cougars and Kenneth Farrow three.
Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Southern Methodist. Cougars are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings. Take Houston and go over the total in NCAA football betting.

Horizon Zero Dawn The Board Game Is The Next Big Video Game
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game is the next big video game adaptation from Dark Souls and Resident Evil 2 studio Steamforged
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game
Co-op game set after events of PS4 exclusive will be canon
PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn is the latest video game to make the leap onto the tabletop, with the announcement of an official board game.
Behind the upcoming adaptation is Steamforged, the Guild Ball miniatures studio previously responsible for reimagining two big video games as board games: Dark Souls, which also got a card game spin-off, and Resident Evil 2.
One of the most interesting aspects of Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game is that the game is apparently part of the universe's official canon, with the events depicted on the tabletop taking place after the video game and its DLC expansions, according to IGN.
The game is co-op, and involves players hunting the cyber-creatures of the sci-fi world in a series of increasingly more difficult expeditions. Like Dark Souls, a multi-hour playthrough ends with a confrontation with a big baddie that players have (hopefully) improved their characters' skills and equipment in order to take down.
"As huge Horizon Zero Dawn fans, we could not be more excited to be given the honour of developing a board game which will allow fans to explore this incredible world in a new and unique way," said creative director Mat Hart.
"Many of the staff at Steamforged have been in love with Horizon Zero Dawn since it was first released, and so have an intimate understanding of what makes it so appealing and enthralling. With this game we're going to give players a compelling new way to play and experience this amazing video game."
Although Horizon Zero Dawn is Steamforged's latest video game project to be unveiled, it's actually been in development for a number of years, having begun life before the PS4 game was released. It will be headed to Kickstarter later this year, accompanied by the typical slew of impressive-looking miniatures.


Hi all, I had to play photographer for an event this evening. I needed something comfortable, easy to move in, while looking up to par with party standards. My choice: red blazer, black skinnies, brown t-strap heels, graphic sweater and artsy fartsy glasses. I'm obsessed with this mint chunky watch from A-Thread apparel. It's currently sold out but it should come back into stock again soon–find it here! I am really feeling blazers this month. They've been all over the fashion blogs, I've seen hot pink, stripes, florals and even polka dots. This red blazer is from last season but I wanted something loud for this outfit and this piece seemed to fit perfectly. You'll notice I added a belt to this outfit, which is missing in a few shots–oops! I don't really like wearing belts because they can be restricting but this one from J.Crew doesn't bother me at all. What do you guys think about this outfit—any suggestions? The last two years of fashion blogging have taught me a ton—but I'm still learning what works and what doesn't! Drop me a line in the comments sections, thanks!

The aims of this research was to understand how education in the rural African faming setting can contribute to development and well-being in a way that is empowering for the poor. The Farmer Field School (FFS) approach, provided an empirical frame for the research. By reflecting on experiences of FFS participants in East Africa, the research tried to answer how the FFS learning experience play out in the daily lives of participants and their families and the role that FFS play in assisting participants to take control over their own development and enhanced well-being. Conceptually the research was framed by constructivist line of thoughts, adult education and transformative learning theories. The research applied a mixed methods approach with a variety of qualitative and quantitative tools including participatory identification of indicators of empowerment, large scale household surveys with a total of 2000 farmers and in-depth interviews. Data analysis from the quantitative survey work indicated a relationship between farmer participation in FFS, empowerment and increased wellbeing in all three countries studied. The study thus argue for an empowerment route to well-being, triggered by group based learning. The research further indicate significant impact of FFS in terms of building the capacity of people to make choices and decisions that ultimately lead to increased uptake of agricultural innovations, access to services and markets as well as collective action. Qualitative data revealed significant social impacts of FFS in terms of changes in everyday life of participants, transformation of self-concept, change in gender roles and relations, customs and traditions, community relations and an increase in household economic development. A number of pedagogical tools applied in the FFS was found to be instrumental in facilitating transformative learning and empowerment. Major conclusions of the study are the need for investment in human capacity and the importance of an appropriate mix of technological and social advancement for development. The implications of the research are relevant within the fields of rural development, gender studies and for transformative learning and adult education theory. Further, the study contributes knowledge on how to measure empowerment in the poverty setting.

Le parc de Shakujii (石神井公園, Shakujii Kōen) est un parc public situé dans la ville japonaise de Shakujii, dans l'arrondissement de Nerima à Tokyo. Fondé en 1959, c'est l'un des plus grands parcs de la métropole, après le parc d'Ueno.

Le parc comprend deux étangs, le Shaku-jii  et le Sanpō-jii, plusieurs petits sanctuaires shinto, et les vestiges du château de Shakujii. La Shakujii-gawa coule d'est-ouest à peu de distance du sud du parc. Les étangs se sont, dit-on, formés naturellement par le jaillissement de l'eau souterraine en provenance du proche étang Musashino-dai. Au fil des ans, cependant, les étangs se sont peu à peu affaissés, aussi des systèmes artificiels ont-ils été installés pour pomper l'eau dans les bassins, afin de préserver le paysage du parc et son usage récréatif,

Les ruines du château datent de l'époque de Kamakura (1185-1333), ou plus tôt, ce qui permet de savoir que le site était utilisé et considéré comme stratégiquement important pendant de nombreux siècles. Le château servait de résidence au clan Toshima de samouraï, qui régnait sur la région environnante aux . La destruction du clan est en grande partie le fait d'Ōta Dōkan, responsable de la construction du château d'Edo; nombre des ruines et des sanctuaires de la région sont associés à sa personne.

Au , le parc est devenu un populaire site d'observation ornithologique, de promenade et de relaxation.

En plus d'être populaire auprès des résidents locaux, le parc est assez bien connu dans Tokyo. L'étang de Shakujii est un endroit populaire pour les programmes et les séries TV qui y filment des scènes nautiques, et le parc, ou un de ses étangs, est souvent vu dans les manga, les anime, et autres productions de la culture populaire. Le Ranma ½ de Rumiko Takahashi se déroule dans l'arrondissement de Nerima, et il existe de nombreux épisodes du manga/anime dans lesquels les personnages traversent le parc.

First Australian prostate cancer test guidelines
Margaret Scheikowski
Men wanting to undergo prostate-cancer testing should be told the harms may outweigh the benefits, say Australia's first clinical guidelines.
They don't recommend a national screening program, saying many men are being tested too frequently, or when they are too young, too old or have a short life-expectancy.
But men at average risk of the disease who decide to be tested regularly should be offered a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test every two years from 50 to 69.
For those with a family history of prostate cancer, the testing should start from 40/45 depending on the strength of that history.
Routine digital rectal examination is not recommended for asymptomatic men.
PSA Testing and Early Management of Test-detected Prostate Cancer: Guidelines for health professionals was launched on Wednesday after National Health and Medical Research Council approval.
"Contention about the PSA test has made it difficult for health professionals to take a consistent, evidence-based approach to the test," said Associate Professor Anthony Lowe, CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
It's estimated that 20-40 per cent of prostate cancers detected as a result of PSA tests would never have bothered the men in whom they were detected had they not been tested.
But their cancer treatment frequently has adverse effects including urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and bowel problems.
Men should be fully informed about the pros and cons of testing, with the guidelines saying the harms may outweigh the benefits, particularly for those over 70.
Cancer Council Australia CEO Professor Sanchia Aranda said application of the guidelines should result in less over-treatment associated with the imprecise PSA test.
It also would hopefully reduce mortality rates, said the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand.
"We know that early diagnosis is key to saving lives for men with aggressive prostate cancer," said society president Professor Mark Frydenberg.
"However, we also know that in some men prostate cancer is a slow-growing disease that may never be life threatening."
PROSTATE CANCER IN AUSTRALIA
* the second most commonly diagnosed cancer for men, after skin cancer
* accounts for one-third of male cancers diagnosed annually
* causes the second most cancer deaths in men after lung cancer
* diagnosis risk increases with age – by 85 it's a one-in-five chance
* has one of the highest five-year survival rates compared with other cancers
