Zelda Theory
Ending of Ocarina of Time
Thread starter Mases
West Dundee, IL
This usually goes hand in hand when speaking of timeline theories. The more commonly accepted theory on the timeline involves the split-timeline, where at the end of the Ocarina of Time, there were really two endings.
One as adult Link, where he has defeated Ganon and restores peace to the land of Hyrule. Ganondorf is sealed in the Sacred Realm. Link is then sent back in time to relive his child years. Time still exists in the adult Link era, just with no Link. Ganondorf eventually escapes the Sacred Realm, hyrule floods, and the Wind Waker takes place.
Another one takes place as young link. After the ending of Ocarina of Time, Young Link is sent back in time seven years so he can relive his childhood. After which, he somehow gets to the Land of Termina and Majora's Mask takes place, and much later, Twilight Princess.
My question is, did Nintendo really think this through when it actually happened? Did they have any idea of a split timeline with two worlds progressing through time at the same time? Or was this just a common fan reaction. Much later in 2006, Aonuma confirmed this split. Is there really a split? Is there an actual timeline of events relating these few games? Any alternate ending opinions for Ocarina of Time? Does it all even matter?

I think the timeline of Zelda is the worst aspect of the series, or at least the thing that should have been better thought out. I don't think Nintendo planned for this, at least, it is really unlikely in my opinion. If they did plan on making a split timeline, I think they would have made it more obvious. I don't think Nintendo planned much of Zelda's timeline at all, with obvious regards to Wind Waker -> Phantom Hourglass, Ocarina of Time -> Majora's Mask, etc.
For example, there is the idea that after Link's Awakening, Link had to run around and collect his items again - which leads to LoZ. I highly doubt that when nintendo was creating LoZ, they were planning this.
I personally don't focus on a timeline at all, I just play the games for the games. If there ever is an official timeline released, I'd be happy to look into it and learn more about how the games link together. But for now, I'm not really concerned.

i think there is a split timeline but i don 't think OOT caused it. if so then adult link never excisted 7 years in the future so how does the people know the legend about it in WW? and at the ending why does young link goes to zelda (so asume the young zelda remembers everything). anyway the reason because link was in the future in the first place was he was too young to be accepted a hero of time and he soul got trapped in chamber of sages.
my point of vieuw he didn 't travel 7 years in the future or there should be 2 link 's right? so he was trapped 7 years. so he is going upstream and downstream, he not taking one huge hop to the future.

I asumed that MM took place in the 7 year gap in the middle of. By this I mean that link progressed untill the point in OOT where he is transported forwards 7 years, during those seven years MM takes place, though link sees it as happening after OOT, and has memorys of OOT happening, thats why he is looking for navi. After MM finnishes the end of OOT actually takes place, and TP takes place sometime after that. However, there are still some problems with this, and I'm still trying to figure out how some elements work out chronalogicaly.:hmm:
cpunerd96
I once read a fan story about what happened after OOT. Link, when he turns young at the end of OOT, warns Zelda of Ganondorf and his evil plot. If he hadn't went to Termina afterwards. the story says. He could have watched what he had live throughout those seven years and guided him or whatever. So, really, Majoras Mask was going on at the same period as OOT. THink about that next time you play OOT.
To be honest i don't think that they we're planing on having a timeline, it seems that each of thee games are their own games and newer gamers can play newer zelda games. They really should have never made link go into the past after OoT.

True and Noble
That's what some say, is that there is no storyline whatsoever, but hasn't Nintendo said that there is a storyline? I mean Aonuma even hinted at parts of the storyline, especially with OOT.
In issue 165 of Nintendo Power (February 2003), the Wind Waker was featured on the cover of the magazine, corresponding to its release on the gamecube.
There was an interview with Eiji Aonuma within this article.
Aonuma was the Assistant Director of Ocarina of Time as well as the Director of Majoras Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, & Phantom Hourglass.
He wrote, concerning the ending of Ocarina of Time...
"If you think back to the end of Ocarina of Time, there were two endings in that game in different time periods. First Link defeated Ganon as an adult, and then he actually went back to being a child."
He goes on to say that the Wind Waker takes place 100years after the events of Adult Link.
I suppose this all but confirms that there is in fact a split timeline, according to Aonuma at least. I actually think if you interviewed a lot of the big shots behind the Zelda series over the years, they would all have different opinions on the ending of the Ocarina of Time and the Zelda Timeline. So just because Aonuma says so, I don't think it is true. I think that he was just tending to the hardcore Zelda fans like us, who break down the timeline detail by detail. It was the most logical point, according to him, so he went ahead and said it.
I dont rely on what Aunoma has to say so much when it relates to Zelda timeline/storylines, he didnt start helping the Zelda production team until Ocarina of Time.
Rheks
Haha, I also think the timeline was like "What the heck?" It's going from years later then years before. xD
Kybyrian
Didn't I already answer this one?
Hmm, so in one ending Hyrule and floods and Windwaker takes place, and in another Link rides off and ends up in Termina? I'm not too sure about this.
Mases had a link to a video one time that explained it quite thoroughly. I don't have the link though.
as i said in my first post, if there were really two links then the triforce would not have split in 8 pieces in the first place. so i also have my doubts that about that this ending is the cause of a split timeline. the main reason is because link traveld upwards and downward trough time just because his spirit was 7 year sealed because he was to young.
to put is simple:
1: upwards and downwards trough time
Past<---------->Future
2: Past ---(travels trough time)--->Future
Past<---(travels back in time)---Future
with number one is that the future is still his own time because his spirit was sealed, thats what i mean with upward and downward, it is clearly explained in the game.
with number two, lets just say he takes a jump 7 years in the future. if that were so i would i no doubts about the split timeline because then there should be two links. one in the past and one in the future. at the ending link beats ganondorf as an adult. if this theory is correct then ganondorf will still excist in the past causing one endless cycle.
i hope some people can understand my point of vieuw here.
I can see what you're coming from, but I don't know if Nintendo would make it that complicated for us. I'd just assume that the timelines keep moving forward and there is no loop.
I believe the theory about this is that after Link defeats Ganon and is sent back to the past. He warns Princess Zelda who warns the thing, preventing the vents in the future ever from happening. Thus Ganon is sealed away, while Link heads off to Termina.
I believe that is the basis of the split-timeline theory. It is very plausable, but not exactly sure I agree with everything with it. There is the space time continuum, as in the movie Back to the Future. If Link does something as a kid, than it would effect the future.
So if all of what happened had happened, and then Link is sent back in time after defeating Ganon, wouldn't there be two Link's in the past? One that is in Kokiri Forest and just beating the Deku Tree, while the other is the Link you play as who was just sent back in time. If you've seen the movie, Back to the Future, you'd understand a bit where I'm coming from with this angle of looking at it.

'I raised a number of issues including ambulance waits outside hospitals and access to lateral flow tests at chemists'
Mark Isherwood, MS for North Wales
By Mark Isherwood
MS for North Wales
During Friday's Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board Covid Briefing for our region's Conservative MSs and MPs, we heard that there had been 1,184 reported cases of Omicron in North Wales as at December 30th 2021, mainly impacting on people of working age but starting to move into the over 60s, with updated North Wales figures due which were expected to reflect the subsequent doubling of positive cases across Wales.
I raised a number of issues on behalf of constituents, including ambulance waits outside hospitals and access to lateral flow tests at chemists and distribution centres.
I met online with eating disorder charity 'Beat' for an update on their work in Wales and the report they are planning to publish this month examining what progress has been made by the Welsh Government in achieving the recommendations set out in the 2018 Eating Disorder Service Review. Beat played a key role in this Review and have been calling for the full implementation of its recommendations since it was published by the Welsh Government in September 2019.
The First Minister failed to offer pre-briefings to the Welsh Conservative Official Opposition before announcing the outcome of his latest Review of Coronavirus Restrictions. Speaking ahead of the announcement, Welsh Conservative Leader Andrew RT Davies highlighted the need to financially support the businesses hurt by the latest restrictions and said "It would be foolish to say that the pandemic has gone away and that we do not need any restrictions" but "any limits on our society and economy must constantly be proven to be necessary and evidence should be produced as a matter of course, rather than dragged out of Ministers as we had to do last time".
As a Mentor under the 'Equal Power Equal Voice' cross-equalities mentoring programme to increase diverse representation in public and political life in Wales, I recorded a video talking about my role as a Senedd Member and work on Disability Rights with the 'Equal Power Equal Voice' Project Officer for Disability Wales.
Other engagements included being interviewed for 'EU Rights and Brexit Hub' research about the work of the Welsh Government and Welsh Parliament on EU citizens' rights after Brexit. This is a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funded research project investigating obstacles to justice for EU and EEA nationals throughout the UK. UKRI is sponsored by the UK Government.
I was also interviewed by a Masters Student conducting research on criminal justice and devolution in Wales.

Segan Combines Energy with Beauty on New Single "In Your Arms"
todayAugust 8, 2022 10
Segan is a relatively new name to the drum n bass scene. Songs of his like "Champion" and "Attack Order" drop an insane amount of audio-action that you would expect from artists in the genre. However, the Los Angeles producer has dropped a new single "In Your Arms" that strays away from DnB and offers in its stead a vocally-charged, half time anthem.
"In Your Arms" kicks off with a flurry synths and singing that is reminiscent of the vocal stylings of Imogen Heap. It's soft, breathy and enchanting. The drums pick up and as they get to the drop we are met with a slower climax than what most Segan fans would be used to. But the glimmering synths and gnarly bassline combine this euphoric energy with a hard kick-drum pattern. This gives "In Your Arms" a lot of invigorating elements that compel you to dance to its beautiful beat.
It's an impressive sound for an artist to shift in that has been built their career around the growing American drum and bass boom. In their third year as a producer, their expanding into the dubstep/future bass sound made popular by the likes of Illenium and Seven Lions (the former of which he has remixed too). "'In Your Arms' is meant to scratch an itch you didn't know was there," said Segan. "[The song] is the embodiment of where the Segan project is headed."
If that's true, then we certainly can't wait to hear more! But meanwhile, make sure to check out "In Your Arms" by Segan.

This Is The Mother Of All Tarot Cards—Here's How To Interpret It
by Nicolai in Spirituality on January 9, 2022
Whether you're looking for insight into your past or future or guidance in the present, a tarot reading is a good place to start. Of all 78 cards in your traditional tarot deck, none is more motherly than the Queen of Cups. Here's what to know the next time you pull this regal card.
What does the Queen of Cups card mean?
The Queen of Cups is a very intuitive figure that carries a mothering, nurturing quality, tarot reader and author of The Big Book of Tarot Readings Sam Magdaleno tells mbg. "She's very supportive, guided by her heart, and sometimes she can represent psychic abilities, too," she adds.
The Cup suit in tarot is connected to water, Magdaleno explains, which is all about rebirth, emotion, and intuition.
She notes that in the traditional Rider Waite Smith deck card, you can see the Queen sitting right on the edge of water, with one of her feet on the pebbles and one in the water, representing that she's balanced in what she does. "She's obviously very influenced by her emotions and intuition—but she's grounded at the same time," Magdaleno says.
Notably, the Queen of Cups is also the only card with a cup that is closed. "In all the other suits and cups, the cups are open," Magdaleno adds. "Hers has angels on it, suggesting she's really in tune with her spirituality—but the lid means she keeps things more to herself, and those emotions she's led by are pretty contained," which helps her lead with a steady and grounded approach, she explains.
What does it mean for love & relationships?
When pulled upright:
If you've pulled the Queen of Cups upright in a reading about love or relationships, take it as a good sign. "Oftentimes when we pull the court cards (Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages), they tend to represent people in our lives," Magdaleno says.
And with the Queen of Cups representing your partner or love interest, "that's a really good sign it's going to be a nurturing and intuitive partner, someone who's in tune with your wants and needs, and the relationship as a whole is very caring and loving," she adds.
When pulled in reverse:
In reverse, the meaning isn't necessarily so positive. Magdaleno explains that upright, the Queen of Cups is very sensitive, but reversed, it can hint that you're being overly sensitive, as well as holding onto insecurities and ignoring your intuition.
Perhaps insecurities are coming up in the relationship, or you're questioning the relationship in general but won't listen to your gut.
"It's telling you that you probably already know the answer, you're just not looking for it because you're hoping something different is going to come up—but you really just need to listen to your intuition," Magdaleno says.
This card in reverse can also indicate you could be overly mothering a partner, she adds.
What does it mean for professional & financial matters?
Generally speaking, this is a positive card for both career and finances, suggesting you're "in tune with yourself, have a good work-life balance going on, and overall a positive job experience," with money flowing like water to you, she says.
But because the Queen of Cups is associated with emotion and intuition, pulling the card in a career reading could also mean that you should consider a more creative career.
And again, because the court cards often represent people, the Queen of Cups in a career reading could also represent a mentor or coach, and this card could be encouraging you to take that person's guidance.
If you pull the Queen of Cups in reverse, Magdaleno says you could be feeling really overwhelmed at your job, and/or not really being true to yourself about whether it's the right role for you.
"It can also represent a career where you're always taking care of others and it's starting to burn you out and you feel like you have nothing left for yourself," she adds.
Similarly, when it comes to finances, you could be ignoring your intuition when it comes to money matters. You could also be financially supporting other people "and that's leaving you with your cup kind of drained and not very abundant," Magdaleno adds.
What does it mean for challenges that lie ahead?
If you've asked the cards about challenges you're currently facing or may face in the future, Magdaleno says this pull is generally pretty positive. In the imagery of the card, "the sky is clear in the background, so it suggests a clear path for you," she notes.
As always with this card, the key here, she says, is to "be sure you're listening to your intuition as you make decisions along the way."
Pulling the Queen of Cups in reverse in a reading about challenges suggests you could have some overwhelm or insecurities on the horizon, according to Magdaleno.
While these emotions are challenging, the nice thing about tarot is it gives you a bit of a warning or signal so you can adjust accordingly and take the necessary steps to work through them.
Pulling the Queen of Cups upright can indicate that you're following your intuition, staying in touch with your mothering and nurturing energy, and approaching life from a balanced and grounded place. How's that for a regal reading?

There are a lot of instances where we may want to make sure that we're getting the most for our efforts in the world of Instagram. Whether you're a company trying to get your marketing in order or you're someone that just wants to put together some videos that people are going to be able to enjoy, you want to make sure that you get the best to take care of everything for you. You want to catch people's attention and keep it throughout the work that you're doing.
Did you know that you can actually put together an Instagram followers order in order to help out whatever you are trying to deal with? There are so many different factors that come into how you're doing things and you are going to start to notice that it can actually give you whatever you may want when it comes to working ahead. Not only that, but you may also be in a better position to start taking particular steps and feeling like you're going to be able to sort out the information that comes into play when you work it all out, as well.
When you buy followers, you know that you're getting the marketing that you need in order to do well and to get the attention of the people who are going to help your website to grow and expand as time goes on. Not only that, but you will also find that it helps you to expand your reach and takes away some of the work that you would have to do in self-promotion later on in your online media career.
Marketing takes time and you want to know that you're actually getting a lot for the work that you're putting in to make all of this happen. Your Instagram is important and, as your presence starts to get bigger and get more people to your site, it's going to end up being that much better for everything that you want to be able to accomplish. Above all else, that will also make it easier for you to make sense of all that may be going on and how you want to work it out.
By checking out everything that is available and finding ways to get more followers with ease, you can make sure that you're doing everything that you need to do to stay ahead of the game. Talk to other social media stars in order to see what they recommend and to start working toward solutions that make sense for everything that you want to be able to do. Once your marketing is dealt with, you can put more focus into the content that you have been putting together for your website, making it easier for you to find the success that you deserve to have. Not only is that helpful for you, but you start to get things out there. Find a site that can take care of all of that for you with as little hassle as you can get.


CFW has been in close contact with staff at the State Allocation Board (SAB) and the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) to track the development of the Statewide Bond Legislation. Draft language was reviewed at the January 22 SAB meeting, and is targeting final approval of the bond legislation by late March 2014. The January 22 SAB meeting included a public hearing for input on the draft, and will be followed by a 30-60 day public comment period to obtain additional feedback on the proposed Bond program.
1. All school districts should be required to re-establish their new construction eligibility baseline in order to be eligible to receive funding under the new bond. Districts would be required to provide current information to OPSC confirming classroom inventory. It is likely that districts will be unable to claim additional dwelling units based on tract maps which have yet to obtain development approvals.
2. New construction grants may not be used for the purpose of constructing portable classrooms. Districts will now be prohibited from utilizing New Construction Grants to construct portable school facilities. Previously, districts were able to use state funds to construct portable facilities with only a 20-yr expected life, which created a drain on Modernization and Deferred Maintenance funds at the State.
3. All school districts should be required to re-establish their modernization eligibility baseline at each site in order to be eligible to receive funding under a new bond. Under the previous program, the modernization eligibility was not required to be updated periodically, and in many cases eligibility numbers on file were more than ten years old and likely to be inaccurate. Districts in the state will now be required to update all their classroom eligibility prior to being eligible for modernization funds.
4. The use of modernization grants should be limited to permanent facilities projects. This recommendation requires that all modernization monies be used to modernize permanent facilities, or to build new facilities. Funds could still be used to build new structures, or to modernize existing permanent facilities.
5. Consider changing the criteria for the financial hardship program by increasing the bond indebtedness level from 60% to 100%. The District's eligibility for the Hardship Program in the past was linked to their having issued debt that met or exceeded 60% of the "Assessed Valuation" of all real property within the District boundaries. Districts would now be required to have issued debt in excess of 100% of the assessed valuation in order to qualify.
As these legislative efforts continue to develop, CFW will provide regular reports to our clients regarding the status of the initiative, and how the new program will impact your local district.

Peering Into the Secrets of the Early Universe
Jan 17 2023Reviewed by Skyla Baily
A new study analyzes the development of stars in faraway galaxies. For a long time, astronomers have been trying to answer this question by detecting radio signals that have been emitted by galaxies in the vicinity.

However, such signals tend to become weaker when the galaxy is further away from the Earth, thereby making it hard for make radio telescopes to catch the signal.
Now, scientists from Montreal and India can receive radio signals from the majority of distant galaxies at a particular wavelength called the 21-cm line. With the availability of the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in India, this is the first time that this type of radio signal has been detected at such a large distance.
A galaxy emits different kinds of radio signals. Until now, it's only been possible to capture this particular signal from a galaxy nearby, limiting our knowledge to those galaxies closer to Earth.
Arnab Chakraborty, Post-Doctoral Researcher, McGill University
What Can You See on an Interactive Map of the Visible Universe?
Chakraborty added, "But thanks to the help of a naturally occurring phenomenon called gravitational lensing, we can capture a faint signal from a record-breaking distance. This will help us understand the composition of galaxies at much greater distances from Earth."
Chakraborty was supervised by Professor Matt Dobbs.
A Look Back in Time to the Early Universe
Initially, the scientists were capable of detecting the signal from a distant star-forming galaxy called SDSSJ0826+5630 and could quantify its gas composition. The scientists noted that the gas content of the atomic mass of this specific galaxy is almost twice the mass of the stars that are visible to humans.
The research group detected the signal that was emitted from this galaxy while the universe was just 4.9 billion years old. This allows scientists to glance into the mysteries of the early universe.
It's the equivalent to a look-back in time of 8.8 billion years.
Chakraborty studies cosmology at McGill's Department of Physics.
Picking Up the Signal from a Distant Galaxy
Gravitational lensing magnifies the signal coming from a distant object to help us peer into the early universe. In this specific case, the signal is bent by the presence of another massive body, another galaxy, between the target and the observer. This effectively results in the magnification of the signal by a factor of 30, allowing the telescope to pick it up.
Nirupam Roy, Study Co-Author and Associate Professor, Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science
The scientists feel that these outcomes illustrate the possibility of finding distant galaxies in identical situations with gravitational lensing. Also, it paves the way for some interesting new chances to probe the cosmic evolution of galaxies and stars with low-frequency radio telescopes that are available at present.
The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope was constructed and made to function by NCRA-TIFR. The study was financially supported by McGill University and the Indian Institute of Science.

In limited overs cricket, the need arises of settling rain-affected matches in a way that is fair to both teams, even if the burden of disruption has been uneven. Starting in the late 1990s, various algorithms have been proposed. The one that is used almost universally is the Duckworth–Lewis method. Each team has two kinds of resources that it can convert into scoring: the number of balls yet to face and the number of batsmen in reserve. The Duckworth–Lewis method involves placing a numerical value on all possible combinations of these resources.
Cricket is a sport that, more than most, needs dry weather, yet it was invented in a rainy country and is played in several others. Moreover, unlike, say, baseball, it is a time-limited game, meaning that losing time to rain can affect a match profoundly.
In the oldest form of the sport, this is a problem that takes care of itself, since a rain-interrupted match can simply end with neither team winning. But in the newer (only half a century old!) format of limited overs cricket, that cannot happen, and the need therefore arises of settling rain-affected matches in a way that is fair to both teams, even if the burden of disruption has been uneven.
Until quite recently, this was generally done pretty crudely. But starting in the late 1990s, various more-sophisticated algorithms have been proposed. The one that is used almost universally is the Duckworth–Lewis method, which is based on the idea of resources.
In limited overs cricket, each team bats just once. A team's turn at batting (its innings) is over either when it has faced a certain preset number of balls (a bit like pitches in baseball) or when ten of its batsmen are out. The team therefore has two kinds of resources that it can convert into scoring: the number of balls yet to face and the number of batsmen in reserve. The Duckworth–Lewis method involves placing a numerical value on all possible combinations of these resources.
By convention, balls are divided into sets of six, called overs. The number of batsmen out so far, out of ten, is called the number of wickets fallen. The Duckworth–Lewis method uses a table to assign a numerical value based on the number of overs (and parts of an over) yet to face and the number of wickets fallen.
If the match is uninterrupted by rain, things are straightforward: whichever team scores more runs wins. This is what usually happens.
But if rain interrupts either of the innings (or both), the method is invoked. A calculation is made of the resources at the time of suspension and at the time of resumption (the number of wickets fallen does not change, but the number of overs will be reduced according to the time lost). The difference, the resources lost, is subtracted from the resources at the start of the innings to yield the resources available to the team. There are two such "resources available" figures, one for each team, conventionally expressed as percentages: and .
, where is the floor function (or greatest integer function).
In this Demonstration, a fairly sparse Duckworth–Lewis table is used, and Interpolation fills in the gaps. Each resource percentage depends on two arguments: overs and wickets. A separate interpolation is carried out for each value of wickets: each should ideally be monotonic in overs, and interpolation orders have been chosen empirically to make this as close to true as possible in all cases.
You can interactively set both teams' scores (given in runs and wickets fallen), as well as allowing either team's innings, or both, to be interrupted: after a certain number of overs, for a certain number of overs, and with a certain number of wickets having fallen at the time of interruption.
Disclaimer: this demonstration is for illustrative purposes only; it uses values associated with international matches, and should not be used for settling amateur cricket matches. It is an implementation of the public-domain Standard Edition of the Duckworth–Lewis method, rather than the proprietary Professional Edition; targets given may therefore differ slightly from the official values.

Your family thinks it would be in your best interest to stop smoking. It's also something your doctor recommends. Even your insurance company is willing to give you a discount if you quit. What's stopping you? There is no better time than now to quit smoking, so keep reading for some very useful advice on how you can stop, once and for all.
Write down reasons why you should quit to increase the chances that you actually do quit. Putting something down in writing can alter your entire outlook. This can help you stay motivated, and may make quitting easier.
Joining a good support group can help you stop smoking. Support groups can help you learn how to cope with the physical and emotional challenges you may experience while quitting. People who have been in your position can help guide you through the process. To find a support group near you, check your local community center or community college, or at your church.
If decide to give up smoking, try hypnosis. Visiting a licensed hypnotist is an effective strategy that has worked for many individuals. When you are under hypnosis, the hypnotist will fill your mind with positive thoughts about giving up smoking. This helps to reduce the appeal of cigarettes.
No matter what, you need to look at your quitting one day at a time. This is a process that could take months before results are apparent. Don't worry about what will next year or next month. Take it one day at a time and as each day turns into another, your efforts to quit will gather into a smoke free future.
Utilize the delay tactic whenever you feel that you absolutely must have a smoke. If you do something else and then re-evaluate your feelings after a few minutes, you'll find that the worst of the cravings are gone. If it doesn't, keep trying this method.
Replace sweets with fresh produce to prevent gaining weight as you quit smoking. People can gain weight when they stop smoking, so be mindful of what you put into your mouth, making these veggie snacks a great idea. Keep in mind that your body may crave food after quitting, so it's best to eat healthy and have a healthier mindset.
TIP! When the temptation to smoke overwhelms you, using stalling tactics to make yourself wait. When a craving strikes, tell yourself to hold on for just ten more minutes.
Now you have some good information to help you kick the habit, and get healthy. Stopping your cigarette habit will allow you to be happier, healthier, and you will live longer too. As you get past the worst of quitting and can see the light, go celebrate! You deserve it!

Local Film Industry gets huge boost
The Independent September 27, 2020	ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT, NEWS Leave a comment
The Acting Permanent Secretary Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, James Ebitu and Secretary General Uganda National Commission for UNESCO, Rosie Agoi unveiling the project.
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development has partnered with the European Union (EU) and UNESCO in a joint project aimed at supporting the development of the local film industry.
The project will create measures to provide a tax Incentive and encourage formation of and coordination among professional associations. All this will be aimed at supporting local content development and professionalization of the film sector in Uganda.
It is a year-long project involving wide-reaching multi-stakeholder consultations culminating into the development and implementation of a number of strategic measures aimed at addressing some of the major challenges affecting Uganda's emerging film sector.
Speaking at the project's official launch in Kampala, the Minister for Gender, Labour and Social Development, Frank Tumwebaze, who was represented by the Acting Permanent Secretary, Mr. James Ebitu, said the project is a timely step towards achieving Government's plans for the culture and creative sub-sector following its prioritisation as a major driver for economic development in the 2020/21-2024/25 Third National Development Plan (NDPIII) and the Second Social Development Sector Plan, 2020/21-2024/25.
He explained that the project will complement other existing Government policies and initiatives geared towards the building of a strong domestic film industry that will solve Uganda's youth unemployment problem, earn the country millions of dollars in foreign exchange and spearhead the shaping of local content and national identity.
"This cannot be possible if the regulatory framework is weak and fragmented; at the same time, Film stakeholders must be professional and coordinated, which critical gap the project aims to fill." The Minister said.
According to the 2020 Uganda National Culture Policy Regulatory Assessment Report, despite its ability to employ more youth than any other sub-sector in the economy, the local film industry is still plagued by a number of challenges including lack of access to funding, high levels of piracy and limited capacity amongst filmmakers.
According to the project's Focal Person who is also the Commissioner, Culture and Family Affairs at the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, Naumo Juliana Akoryo, a National Team composed of 30 representatives of various Film Guilds and Ministries, Department and Agencies has been set up. She said a work plan has also been crafted to ensure that all these challenges are addressed under the project.
Speaking at the project launch, Anna Merrifield, the European Union Delegation Chargé d'Affaires a.i., stressed the importance of ensuring that "legislation and policy reform of the film industry guarantee freedom of expression and room for independent film makers."
The Secretary General of Uganda National Commission for UNESCO, Rosie Agoi, noted that the Cultural Diversity Convention has four main goals, which aim to incorporate culture into national development plans, ensure a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and promote the mobility of artists and cultural professionals around the world.
"In other words, we need to ensure we have Ugandan films at the theatre, Ugandan music on the radio, Ugandan books in the library, Ugandan art in the museums, and so on—and we also need to ensure we have a diversity of cultural goods from other countries." She said.
The Ugandan project is part of a bigger ongoing UNESCO program funded by the European Union: The EU/UNESCO Expert Facility on the Governance of Culture in Developing Countries: Support for new regulatory frameworks to strengthen the cultural and creative industries and promote South-South cooperation. Through an overall budget of EUR 3.2 Mio, the program seeks to support 25 developing countries, which are Parties to the UNESCO 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expression.
Ratified by Uganda in 2015, the Convention recognises the right of Governments to create an enabling environment for the development of dynamic cultural and creative industries by adopting progressive regulatory frameworks.
Following a preliminary research by the project's team of experts, a number of interventions have been suggested for further development during the project. These include; the establishment of a national film fund, consolidation of film regulation under one State Agency and establishment of a tax rebates/cash system and promotion of equity investment in film among other measures. These measures will be further scrutinised and developed in consultation with various industry experts, practitioners and stakeholders during the project before they can be adopted and implemented by Government.

Content is king. Make that non-linear content is king. Adweek recently posted an article around "5 Great Shows you can't see on Linear TV"
We can't be more excited about this new trend - which may have been kicked off by Netflix's Emmy Winning programming. Because this opens up to a vast # of channel opportunities and freedom for independent filmmakers to tell their stories.
And how can brands leverage non-linear programming? By smart (not strategic, there's a difference) alignment with stories that enhance a brand's DNA is one way to go, and even getting artists to tell a brands story from a unique perspective is a way to go.
Here's to hoping for deeper #BrandsMeetArt collaborations coming out of this phenomenon.

A power of attorney is an important document. Unfortunately, by the time you need one, you may not have the legal right to draft an enforceable one. Powers of attorney must be put in place ahead of time, so that they can work for your benefit in the event that you are unable to care for yourself or your assets in a crisis.
At the Highland, Illinois, office of Donald R. Johannes, Attorney at Law, we draft estate planning documents, including powers of attorney, for our clients. We often tell clients that these documents are the first line of defense against the unforeseen.
Powers of attorney for health care — Also called medical directives, these documents appoint people to make decisions about important issues like maintaining life support. They also give hospitals permission to talk with certain loved ones about your care without violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Powers of attorney for property — These documents give your trusted loved ones the authority to make financial decisions on your behalf so that they can pay bills, access financial records, sell your house or car, make decisions about your IRA, or file your income taxes.
If you do not have a power of attorney in place and something happens, your loved ones may be forced to pursue other estate planning options such as a guardianship to manage your health care decisions and finances. It is much easier and efficient to obtain a power of attorney ahead of time.
We invite you to call 618-882-4568 or toll free at 888-856-6039, or to contact us online to schedule a confidential consultation about powers of attorney in Highland and the surrounding areas.

Movie Review: SUNSET SOCIETY (2018)
HellzJezebelle
Who would win in a fight between Lemmy and god?
Trick question – Lemmy is god.
In spite of his death almost three years ago, Lemmy Kilmister's legend lives on, as evidenced by the surfacing of Phoebe Dollar's movie SUNSET SOCIETY, releasing in select theaters July 6th. As a lifelong dedicated Motörhead fan, I was thrilled when Shannon offered me the opportunity to watch and review this film.
Written and directed by Phoebe Dollar and Rolfe Kanefsky, SUNSET SOCIETY plays more like an anthology, so many short films attached at the hip, all entwined by the leadership of Ace (Lemmy), the Head Vampire of Los Angeles. Ace rules Los Angeles with the aplomb only Lemmy could have pulled off, because Lemmy has spent years ruling over the Sunset Strip, holding court at the Rainbow most nights when he wasn't on tour. While Ace is our central focus, Sophia (played by Dollar) is the prominent character; the running theme throughout is a love letter in video form, she has been creating for Ace, a love letter she has been working on for years. The local vampire clan is rounded out by Ron Jeremy as Frankie (no, you do not see his dick), Dizzy Reed (keyboards for what is left of Guns n' Roses) as Dagger who is bored of his immortality, Tracii Guns (vocals for L.A. Guns) as the prodigal child that cannot control his compulsions, and a bevy of attractive hangers-on.
The atmosphere of the film is well done, with a series of animated sequences that tell us the story of Ace, him becoming a vampire to who he is now; the animation is a bit gritty and quirky, and works well with the film, giving us definitive lines between Ace's story, and the story we're being told. The soundtrack is excellent, dark and brooding, which matches the vibe of the film. I give a lot of credit to the fact that the film was released by Cleopatra Entertainment, a division of Cleopatra Records, a company that has vast knowledge, and access to, a plethora of excellent goth and underground music.
It would be easy to write SUNSET SOCIETY off as another B-grade horror movie, but to metalheads and anyone familiar with the lore of the Sunset Strip in the 80s, SUNSET SOCIETY is a love letter to Lemmy and the Sunset Strip. It's got blood, camp, redemption, and cartoons – what more could you ask for? SUNSET SOCIETY will be released in select theaters July 6 and VOD July 24, 2018.

YUI Theater — Matt Snider: "Introducing the YUI 2.8.0 Storage Utility"
Matt Snider is the lead fronted engineer (and employee #1) at Mint.com, the popular personal-finance site that was recently acquired by Intuit. Matt has been a longtime user of YUI at Mint, and he's documented his own additions to YUI extensively over the years on his blog. This year, Matt deepened his work with the library by authoring a major new component: the YUI 2.8.0 Storage Utility. Storage provides an HTML 5-like API for client-side storage, using native HTML 5 engines where available and falling back to SWF and Gears as alternatives when a native engine isn't available.
Matt came to YUICONF 2009 last week to share his work with attendees in a session entitled "Introducing the YUI 2.8.0 Storage Utility." It's a great talk, and one you'll want to watch if you're thinking of adding client-side storage to your project.

Florida Court Requires Plaintiff to Plead More Facts About a Cause of Loss
Goldberg Segalla LLP
USA November 26 2019
The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida dismissed a property insurance case after holding that ambiguous, non-specific pleading of a cause of loss is not enough. Causation is often a focus in property insurance cases. The exact cause of a particular loss will determine if the loss is covered or excluded under the insurance policy—meaning whether a plaintiff-insured will recover from their insurer. However, in state and federal courts, plaintiffs often get by with pleading merely that "a covered loss occurred during the policy period."
In Emergency Flood Restoration Services, Inc. v. Chubb Custom Insurance Company,[1] the federal district court in Florida held that "[c]onclusory allegations that the loss is covered under the Policy without details regarding the circumstances of the loss is not sufficient to meet [the federal] pleading standards." The court was considering a breach of contract complaint for coverage filed by an assignee of a property insurance policy.[2] In the complaint, the plaintiff alleged only that, "[o]n or about January 22, 2017, while the policy was in full force and effect, the property sustained a covered loss as a result of wind, wind driven rain, and/or hail (Loss)."[3] The plaintiff provided no further details about causation. Importantly, the court held that "at a minimum, Plaintiff must allege specifically how the damage occurred and what damage occurred to apprise Defendant of the claims being made against it."
This ruling is significant because the complaint is generally the guide to determine the outer limits of discovery during litigation and admissible evidence at trial. Vague, ambiguous, and non-specific pleading can lead to overreaching discovery and the introduction of what should be irrelevant evidence at trial. Of particular concern is overreaching expert opinions that attempt to create theories of covered causation that do not match the loss as reported and adjusted pre-suit.
Consider, for example, that an insured reports a property loss shortly after a hurricane for windstorm damage to a roof and ensuing interior water damage. The claim is adjusted as a hurricane claim. During the claim investigation, aerial photographs taken several months before the storm show damage to the roof and invoices show prior efforts to repair interior water damage. The insurer denies the claim based on the evidence of prior damage and its determination that repair costs for any new damage would fall below the insurance policy's hurricane deductible.
In turn, the insured files suit alleging only that the insured property "sustained covered damage due to a windstorm during the policy period" and the case proceeds through litigation. The insurer moves to dismiss the complaint for failure to allege enough details about the loss, but the court denies the motion. After substantial litigation (and the accompanying costs of the same), the insured produces a causation expert who opines that the damage was not caused by the hurricane, but by an unnamed windstorm event that occurred earlier in the same policy period. The unnamed windstorm event occurred before the aerial photographs were taken and before the interior repairs were undertaken. Over the insurer's objection, the court allows the expert to testify at trial as to his unnamed windstorm theory of causation because, in part, it was within the bounds of the allegations in the complaint.
As a result of the vague pleading and the consequential expansion of the scope of discovery, the insurer must address a new theory of causation that was not a part of its initial claim adjustment. The insurer may face exposure for repair costs subject to a different, and often lower, "all other perils" policy deductible.
While this exact fact pattern does not happen in every case, it occurs more frequently than it should. State and federal courts are often reluctant to require pleading that is more specific. Under Emergency Flood Restoration Services, Inc.,plaintiffs will be required to amplify their pleadings with a specific cause of loss. It should serve as persuasive authority for other courts grappling with this same issue.

Redis is enterprise, or advanced, key-value store with optional persistence. There are couple of reasons why everyone loves Redis. Why I do?
Following command can install redis server on ubuntu. That's all.
2. It's incredible fast. Look at following tables. One million remote operations per second.
3. It supports large set of commands. More than some kind of database, it's rather enterprise remote-aware hash-map, hash-set, sorted-list or pub/sub channel solution supporting TTL or Lua script environment among others. See all commands.
4. It's optimized to use low computer resources, cpu and ram. Despite the redis server is single thread app it can achieve such great performance.
I've already started to talk about purposes at the beginning. We have primarily targeted two points. First, we can use Redis within super-fast deployment of our app when latency matters.
Secondly, I wanted to compare in-memory and persistent stores. Does it really worth to think about such in-memory solution?
As Redis cluster feature was in development in the time of measuring these numbers, I used only one machine. 32 cores were really overestimated as Redis used one plus one core indeed.
Appending using LPUSH to some eight different keys.
As main memory is touched only, it's all about network transmission. It's almost same for all sizes of batches.
Utilizing LPUSH again to append to different number of keys. Every keys is accessed using different connection.
Ohhh. One million inserted messages per second to one Redis instance. Incredible. Java client uses NIO so this is the answer why it somehow scales with much more tcp connections. Increasing number of network pipes where a client can push the data enables better throughput.
There is some build-in compression which appeared within large message test.
The goal of this test is to fill the main memory (192GB) with one redis instance to find out if there are some scalability limitations.
Redis fill the main memory with blob messages till OOM. The shape of this progress within the time is almost flat.
Even if Redis stores the data in the main memory, there is a way how to persist the data.
Redis forks a new thread for I/O. Numbers are almost same if the data are persisted within one second frames. TPS goes significantly down when Redis writes every updated key to the drive but this mode ensures best durability.
How the performance is affected when message size increases to tens of mbytes?
The numbers are impressive. One-thread app successfully process almost one million of small messages in memory.
Redis performance is incredible. We could expect certain limitations because of one-threaded design which causes "serializable" behavior. Maybe this lockless implementation is the reason why redis server can handle such great throughput.
On the other hand, the right comparison against other competitors uses redis persistence feature. The performance is much more worse. Three times. Well, the persistence requirement can be the decision maker.
I've already mentioned great command set. You can probably model almost any behavior. Even if Redis primarily targets caches, there are commands allowing to calculate various stats, hold unique sets etc. The script made from these commands is powerful and very fast.

Economic forecast the Ernst & Young ITEM (Independent Treasury Economic Model) Club has almost doubled its projected growth target for the year.
The Item Club has lifted its growth forecast form 0.6 per cent three months ago to 1.1 per cent this year, claiming the UK recovery "finally got legs".
However, the Item Club bases its growth predictions on taxpayer-funded schemes like the Help to Buy to boost the housing market and the Funding for Lending scheme to increase lending to business.
The Item Club also predicts a rise in consumer spending by using their savings as opposed to a rise in household income.
Total pay increased by 1.3 per cent in the year to April, official figures showed recently, failing to keep pace with inflation of 2.7 per cent.
Despite forecasting only "modest" increases in real incomes this year, the Item Club expects consumer spending will rise by 1.6 per cent this year and by 1.9 per cent next year.
As this spending rise is expected to come from savings, the savings ratio is expected to drop to 5.6 per cent compared with 6.3 per cent last year.
The forecast states it is unlikely the UK economy will be rebalanced this year, with growth driven by consumers as exports remain subdued.
The Item Club expects exports and business investment will rise next year, based on its belief the US economy is in recovery, pro-growth policies will improve the outlook in Europe and the Chinese economy will shift towards consumption.
Professor Peter Spencer, chief economic adviser to the Item Club, said: "It's looking much more positive and we're unlikely to see a repeat of 2011 when a recovery in confidence was crushed by the euro crisis.
"Spending on the high street is holding up nicely, housing market transactions are beginning to gather pace and, perhaps most significantly, the global economy also appears to be on the mend."
Most recent lending data released by the Bank of England revealed overall lending to UK business fell a further £4.8 billion in the three months to February.
Figures published by the Council for Mortgage Lenders for the 2012 year suggest Funding for Lending is in fact helping to prop up the mortgage market.
Its figures revealed a £2 billion increase in gross mortgage lending against 2011 figures to £143 billion, though stripping out £2.6 billion in buy-to-let lending, overall mortgage lending was flat.
Gross lending to business in the first quarter fell by £300 million in the first three months of the year, according to the Bank of England's own figures, and despite the central bank having handed out £16.5 billion in cheap loans to UK lenders since August 2012.
The Item Club credits the Help to Buy and Funding for Lending schemes for having driven a recovery in the housing market in recent months.
Its research suggests mortgage approvals hit a three-and-a-half year high in May and house prices rose at their fastest rate for almost three years in June.
Help to Buy allows people to buy a home with a five per cent deposit, aided with a loan of up to 20 per cent from the Government.
The Chancellor announced in his 2013 Budget the government would offer home buyers cheap lending terms and loan guarantees on up to £130 billion worth of mortgages by 2014, as well as pledging to underwrite a portion of losses in an effort to kickstart the housing market.
The Item Club research says Funding for Lending, rather than helping business to access funding as it was originally envisaged, has served to drive down mortgage rates and increase availability of higher loan-to-value deals.
Spencer said the housing market is "performing better than we could have hoped for and the momentum looks set to build" and the Item Club expects house prices to rise 2.3 per cent in 2013 and 5.5 per cent in 2014.
He added: "There are hopeful signs for the world economy, which will lead to a pick-up in demand from the UK's key export markets.
"The US has successfully negotiated the fiscal cliff, the Chinese economy is beginning to rebalance away from investment to consumption, and there is also a move towards pro-growth policies in the eurozone.
The Item Club predicts export growth will remain subdued at 1.2 per cent this year before surging to 4.6 per cent next year.
Item stands for Independent Treasury Economic Model, and uses the Treasury model for its analysis.


Since its launch in September 2017, Iron Jack has sold over 15 million litres, more volume over the same period than established beer brands like Crown Lager, Stella Artois and James Squire 150 Lashes1. It is already one of the most available beer brands in the country – distributed in over 5,000 bottle shops and 2,000 pubs across Australia.
Lion's Contemporary Portfolio Manager, Amy Darvill, says the early signs are that the beer is connecting well with consumers.
"When we launched Iron Jack, we wanted to make a beer for hard working, down to earth Aussie blokes. Blokes who love their dogs and the outdoors. Their initial reaction to the beer has been really encouraging," Darvill said.
After the same amount of time in market more than twice as many consumers have trialled Iron Jack as Great Northern Super Crisp2, which Darvill says is a direct result of where the brand has focussed its investment.
Darvill says Lion has doubled the media spend behind Iron Jack in order to further drive awareness of the brand.
Iron Jack will have one of the largest media spends of any beer in the country in 2018 – comprised of a large scale TV, Radio and Billboard campaign which began in March and is centred around the beer's message of 'Thirst Crushing Refreshment'.
