There were no or very little umpires at this tournament?
First time at TSA. First game started at 12h30. I was told the following day there was a game communication session at 8h30 which I was not told about.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Wednesday made a U-turn on its earlier position over the development of State Security Service (SSS) at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The party, had earlier on Tuesday, few hours after the drama caught widespread media attention and outrage from Nigerians condemned the siege laid by operatives of State Security Service (SSS) at the entrances of National Assembly complex.
But in what appeared a U-turn, the APC in another statement on Wednesday defended the actions of SSS operatives, saying timely intervention of the security operatives forestalled the planned violence.
The party however, called on security agencies and relevant bodies to as a matter of urgency probe tne findings and take all necessary and legitimate action to stop what was described as "illegalities which pose a direct and ominous threat to our democracy.

Deerfield Farm, at 337 Parmelee Hill Road, Durham, began as a family 4-H project and hobby 34 years ago. With 40 Jersey cows, the small business is well-known for its on-site store, which offers gallons of raw and chocolate milk, as well as fresh ricotta and soft cheeses.

DURHAM — U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy perhaps enjoyed one of his periodic walks across the state a little too much Wednesday: He was so engrossed in conversations he struck up with people along the way that he missed his stop.
"I figured I'd get a few more miles under my belt," said Murphy, D-Conn., as he showed up five minutes late to his tour of Deerfield Farm.
The senator had passed the farm an hour before. "I blew past here — it was a fast day," Murphy said, as the temperature reached 90 degrees.
"It's iconic. It's beautiful," he told owner Melynda Naples, who has run the dairy business for 15 years on 60 acres of town-owned land at 337 Parmelee Hill Road, off Route 68.
Naples was 21 when she took over.
The endeavor began as a family 4-H project and hobby 34 years ago.
With 40 Jersey cows, Deerfield is well-known for its tiny on-site shop, which sells fresh whole milk, yogurt, gelato, and ricotta and soft cheeses on the honor system direct to consumers.
Naples makes all her profits from the farm store, where she sells raw milk for $9 a gallon, along with pasteurized chocolate milk, which has sugar in it rather than high-fructose corn syrup.
Nothing is sent to farm co-ops, she said. "I don't want to get any bigger. This keeps me plenty busy. We like to stay sustainable for the size of land we have," she told Murphy.
Thanks to Melynda for showing me around @DeerfieldFarm. The chocolate milk looked delicious but my better judgment told me it wasn't the right call w 15 miles more to go. Thanks to @SenatorCohenCT and First Selectwoman Francis for joining! #WalkCT pic.twitter.com/zaGufl3kYi
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) July 3, 2019
Between 15 and 50 customers show up daily to purchase her dairy goods between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
"People seek out this type of product, especially the raw milk (which is difficult to find in stores). A lot of them are very educated customers who sometimes know more about nutrition and the milk than I do. Some of them have taught me stuff.
"They do so much research. They're very in tune with what they're putting into their bodies," said Naples, a founding member of the Durham Farmers Market.
Naples controls the price of her products, which means what she charges for milk and cheese isn't controlled by the federal government. That model contributes significantly to her success in a tough business.
"Running any small business in agriculture, the costs are so high and the return is so low, but I have more control," she explained.
Three-hundred-year-old family-run Brookfield Farm, about 2 miles away on Route 68, was forced to close a year ago due to falling milk prices.
"People have a lot of emotional attachment to the farm," said First Selectman Laura Francis, who told Murphy the town is working with the Greenbacker family "to find the highest, best use of the property.
"A lot of it has been protected with development rights" through the state, she said.
Dairy farming days are long ones. Naples typically works a 12-hour shift, seven days a week, rising at 6 a.m. to machine milk her cows. She'll spend the rest of her work time bottling milk for the cooler, making cheeses, and then milking the cows again before quitting for the evening.
Naples has set up cameras in the farm store, and the barn, so she can check in on cows ready to calve from the comfort of her house.
Increasingly, she gets help from her two daughters, 11 and 12, her boyfriend, and students in the Middlesex County 4-H program.
Naples is toying with the idea of beginning to sell chicken. Presently, she raises poultry at home, and is looking into the possibility of getting the birds inspected by the state.
Before the senator's arrival, state Sen. Christine Cohen, D-Guilford, spoke to Naples about a farm in Killingworth that became the fourth in the state to apply for a license to sell hemp.
Under a new Connecticut law, anyone who plans to manufacture hemp products for consumption — such as food products, lotions or oils — must obtain a license from the state Department of Agriculture. Its passage paved the way for farms of all sizes to turn plots of land into hemp-growing fields.
Earlier Wednesday, Murphy passed the home of a woman on Route 79 who shared a "heartbreaking personal story" of the trials she's overcome. "She's a very strong lady, with very strong opinions, in a situation she never thought she'd find herself in.
"You meet people like that — struggling, but with a smile. It gives you perspective," he said.
The senator launched his walking tours in 2016. This week, his periodic trek began in New Milford. He expects to travel 100 miles on foot this year, ending in the Groton village of Noank at a date to be determined.

Patagonia El Sur / South America
Self Drive Rental Car Tour
For those who want to experience the beautiful South of Patagonia in a compact Self Drive Rental Car Tour, we offer the Patagonia El Sur round trip from/to Punta Arenas. "The Route is the Destination" in Patagonia: In addition to spectacular national parks, glaciers, snow-capped mountains and volcanoes, Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city at the end of the world, also awaits you.
The Route:
Day 1: Punta Arenas (CHL) > Rio Grande (ARG)
In the morning you will pick up your rental car and start your Patagonia adventure to the end of the world on the road with the same name, the Ruta del Fin del Mundo. With the ferry you will cross the legendary Strait of Magellan and at San Fernando the border to Argentina. Your overnight stay is in Rio Grande, largest city of the island Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America and capital of the departamento of the same name in the Argentinian province Tierra del Fuego.
Day 2: Rio Grande (ARG) > Ushuaia (ARG)
Around noon you reach the southernmost city of the world, Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego and called the "end of the world". Here, at the entrance to the Tierra Del Fuego National Park, numerous highlights await you, which is why you are staying for two nights.
Day 3: Ushuaia (ARG)
For today we recommend optional excursions. On the one hand a boat trip on the Beagle Canal with course to the Bird Island, Sea Lion Island, the lighthouse Faro Les Eclaireurs and finally to the penguin colony on Martillo Island, where you can walk amongst the penguins. As a second option we suggest a ride on the End of The World Train, which will take you to the National Park Tierra del Fuego and then take you on a round trip by bus. Both and other highlights in Ushuaia must be booked immediately, as the capacities in this part of the world are limited all year round.
Day 4: Ushuaia (ARG) > Rio Grande (ARG)
In the early afternoon you leave Ushuaia. Experience has shown that many people will come back soon, because they are eager to visit such locations again. Today you return to Rio Grande and enjoy travelling through mountain passes and popular ski resorts.
Day 5: Rio Grande (ARG) > Punta Arenas (CHL)
Just as you arrived, you will return, but this time you first cross the border into Chile and then take the ferry across the Strait of Magellan. From the end of the world you return to civilization, to Punta Arenas.
Day 6: Punta Arenas (CHL) > El Calafate (ARG)
The second part of your Patagonia El Sur Rental Car Tour takes you to El Calafate. The village is located in the Argentinian province of Santa Cruz, near the South Patagonian ice field. El Calafate is best known as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park with the huge Perito Moreno glacier.
Day 7: El Calafate (ARG)
Feel free to visit a top highlight in Argentina: The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the largest outlet glaciers of the Campo de Hielo Sur, the largest glacier area of the South American Andes. In a comfortable bus can drive to the National Park Los Glaciares, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and take a boat tour and a hike directly to the glacier. The Perito Moreno Glacier is the size of the city of Buenos Aires and with a bit of luck you might witness how a piece of ice breaks off from the glacier front with a loud roar and then drops into the Lago Argentino.
Day 8: El Calafate (ARG) > Torres del Paine National Park (CHL)
Via La Esperanza you continue driving along the Argentinean Ruta 40 to the border crossing to Chile and then directly into the Torres del Paine National Park, where your overnight stay is planned at Lago Grey, near the glacier.
Day 9: Torres del Paine National Park (CHL)
A popular viewpoint and photo highlight is the Condor Lookout, which you can reach after a short hike. Up here you have an amazing view of the Torres del Paine, three needle-like granite mountains, which are between 2600 and 2850 m high and are the landmark of the National Park. For sure you will see the Andean condor circling directly below you, a species of bird that is one of the New World vultures and nests on the lookout of the same name.
Day 10: Torres del Paine National Park (CHL) > Punta Arenas (CHL)
You leave the National Park, pass Puerto Natales and finally reach Punta Arenas for returning your rental car.

One of the ways in which the modern teacher can enrich his or her students' learning experience is through the use of multimedia materials, such as online clips. This is to say, in other words, that online clips can be used for educational purposes within the classroom setup.
One method through which online clips can be used for educational purposes within the classroom setup is the one where the clips are downloaded by the teacher, loaded onto a projector, and then played in class.
Another method through which online clips can be used for educational purposes within the classroom setup is the one where the students are given an assignment to watch the clips on their own (at home). Then, on the next day, a discussion is held around the clips' contents. This approach is quite good, as it prepares the students for future learning models, which will probably take place online, through things such as massive online open courses – such as those on Coursera.
Yet another method through which online clips can be used for educational purposes within the classroom setup is the one where the teacher simply watches the clips by himself or herself, and then uses what he or she learns from the clips to prepare better lessons for the students. Under this model the students don't actually have any personal interactions with the online clips — only the teacher does.

In this age of technology and innovation, RV accessories are available by the billions. If you'd rather not rough it, this is what you're looking for. These 10 luxury RV items will give you a world of comfort at your fingertips.
Hard bed? Squeaky springs? Although some RVs come equipped with comfortable mattresses, others definitely do not. Replace your worn-out mattress with a Cool Gel Ventilated Memory Foam Mattress by Classic Brands and give your rig an instant upgrade. Believe me, you'll sleep better at night.
At home, WiFi is a luxury that most of us take for granted, but it's not quite as accessible on the road. Even RV parks that offer WiFi often have weak signals. With a WiFiRanger, you can reach and combine signals from almost anywhere, allowing you to stay connected wherever you go.
It's great to get out and about in a non-tech environment, but there are days when it's drizzling outside and you feel like staying in bed. Sometimes you just want to cuddle up and binge watch a season of your favorite show.
Give yourself that option with the Jensen 19″ LED TV attached to a Mount-It! Wall Mount, so you can view the screen from anywhere in your RV.
If you're looking for a way to get cable on the road, then the Tailgater Portable Satellite TV Antenna is for you. You can set it up at each campsite or keep it permanently mounted to the roof of your RV. Enjoy the luxury of cable TV with just one convenient installation.
Are you sick of losing your keys or locking yourself out of your RV? Check out the HitchSafe Key Vault, a combination lock key holder that fits inside the hitch receiver of your car or RV.
Place keys, credit cards, cash, or other valuable items inside, lock the vault and conceal it with a heavy-duty rubber cover. However, keep in mind that the vault can only be used if you are not towing a vehicle behind your car or motorhome. If your RV is not equipped with a hitch receiver, you can install one.
RV organization can be hard, especially in the kitchen. Thanks to Bellemain Spice Gripper Clip Strips, it's possible to keep your spices orderly and spill-proof. Mount the secure adhesive strips to a wall or the inside of a cabinet, and clip in small jars of varying shapes and sizes.
The last thing you want while driving a Class A motorhome down the freeway is for a jug of milk to come hurtling out of the refrigerator and splatter against the windshield.
Camco RV Fridge Braces attach to the wire shelves of most RV refrigerators and prevent their contents from sliding around in a moving vehicle. Though they are one of the more practical RV accessories, they can prevent some serious messes.
RV awnings give plenty of much-needed shade—but only if the sun is directly overhead. If not, you're out of luck. However, with the Tentproinc RV Awning Sun Shade, you can turn your RV's awning into a fully-shaded porch area. Relax, have a glass of lemonade, and enjoy some cool privacy.
Are you hoping to come back to a cool RV? Are you curious as to how full your tanks are? Did you forget whether or not you turned off the ceiling fan? Lippert's ONEControl® system allows you to monitor it all from the smartphone in your pocket.
Check if your rig is level, extend the awning, and lock the doors from a distance. The system is not compatible with all RVs, but it is available for several 2018 models, including the Forest River Columbus, the Coachmen SportsCoach, and the Jayco Pinnacle.
You can never forget the aroma of a cozy campfire—especially when your RV and all your clothes smell like smoke. With the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit, you can enjoy all the benefits of an outdoor fire pit minus the billowing smoke (it always seems to follow you, doesn't it?) and the environmental damage caused by fire rings.
With its sleek stainless steel design and efficient burn system, you'll get double the flame with half the firewood. Best of all, the lightweight, no-setup fire pit is portable, so you can bring it anywhere you go.
The camping life may not for everyone, but the RV life can be. With today's portable gadgets and innovative RV accessories, you can bring the comforts of home with you wherever you go.
Cheap curtain rods work good as refrigerator braces. Our refrig uses 18-20″. They can be bought at Walmart.
Need a queen mattress that folds like a futon. Also need a combo shower/toilet small space 30″ x 36″.. I can build the shower / toilet combo. any suggestion for materials to use ?

Vachss, Andrew H.
Andrew Vachss, the master of hard-boiled fiction, returns with a deeply revealing new novel about an assassin whose love forced him to kill his own conscience.
Esau Till's race is almost run. After pleading guilty to a series of homicides, he sits on death row, awaiting lethal injection. And writing his life story. But his memoir is no case study in tragedy--it's his one last chance to protect his brother, Tory, after he's gone. And, as too many have learned, when it comes to protecting his baby brother, Esau Till is a man without boundaries.
Esau's father was a widely feared beast who, it was commonly believed, killed his wife and used his own daughter as a substitute. In Esau's own words, when your sister is your mother, too, you know you're not going to come out right. Not you, not your life, not nothing.
When the genetic cards were dealt, Esau drew a genius IQ but a horribly crippled body. His brother Tory drew a "slow" mind but almost superhuman strength. Very early on, Esau learned that the only way to guarantee his baby brother's safety was to make himself indispensable to certain people. A self-taught explosives expert, he became the top assassin for two rival local mobs. When a third mob attempted to recruit his brother, Esau took them all out, unaware that one of them was an under-cover FBI agent.
Execution looms, but no prison can hold Esau's mind. Or his love. As the State prepares to take his life, Esau plots going all-in on the last and most deadly hand he will ever play.

Annunciation to Last Judgement: Themes and Variations in Christian Art – Introduction and The Annunciation (Day 1)
(11am-4.30pm)
Sarah Fell Room, Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ
Lecturer: Clare Ford-Wille
During the summer of 2020 we are offering a series of linked but separate study days on Images from Christian Art. Each day can be booked individually.
This year's Summer Series will examine the main themes and many ways in which they were interpreted by artists and sculptors from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries. We will consider the ways in which artists and their patrons interpret the texts, not only of the Bible, but also the Revelations of St. Bridget and the fascinating commentaries in The Golden Legend.
Programme for Day 1
Introduction and The Annunciation from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries
The Annunciation was one of the most popular themes chosen by public and private patrons. We will explore the fascinating ways in which artists, such as Duccio, Lorenzetti, Lorenzo Lotto, Titian or the Pre-Raphaelites dealt with the theme and study the texts which the artists and their patrons interpreted. We will consider, for example, why the Virgin's response may vary in her reception of the Angel Gabriel's message. Does she stand or sit? Is she afraid or calm? Does the event take place outside or inside?
The Annunciation in the Early Christian and Medieval Periods
Renaissance Variations in the Annunciation

She has led many tours abroad. Clare is a Vice President of The London Art History Society.

La gare de Matera FS devait devenir une gare ferroviaire de la  qui a été abandonnée avant son arrivée à Matera en région Basilicate. Seul le bâtiment voyageurs et les quais sont construits.

Situation ferroviaire
La gare de Matera FS devait être le terminus de la  qui n'a pas été terminée.

Historique
La ville de Matera est reliée depuis 1915 à Bari via Altamura par une ligne ferroviaire exploitée par les , mais cette liaison est relativement lente et peu pratique. Matera est une ville importante et l'isolement du réseau ferré national est mal perçu par les habitants.

Les chemins de fer de l'État italien décidèrent au début des années 1970 de relier la ville à Ferrandina, sur la ligne Naples – Battipaglia – Métaponte – Tarente. Pour ce, ils lancèrent en 1982 la réalisation d'une ligne de  entre la station de Ferrandina-Pomarico-Miglionico et la future gare FS de Matera, située à mi-chemin entre la ville et le village de La Martella distants de .

Le projet capota en 1986 alors que l'infrastructure était déjà pratiquement terminée : radier de la ligne, bâtiment et quais de la gare de Matera. Seulent manquent les voies.

STacey L Kirby: Civil Presence
Smith Gallery At Appalachian State University, Spring 2019
From February 28- March 21 2019 the Smith gallery hosted Civil Presence, by Durham based artist and activist Stacey L Kirby. The project makes use of bureaucratic forms and the styles of interaction associated with the way the State confers citizenship and ritualizes civil authority. It was developed in response to the current administration's immigration policies and their negative impact on Latinx individuals in this country, with the goal of offering project participants tools to grapple with issues of citizenship, political identity, and human rights through art and performance, which culturally functions as a sanctified safe space that allows for openness, exploration, play and embodiment.
The exhibition centered around the creation of a site specific installation- "the Department of Civil Presence," which was embedded into a corridor of administrative offices in a classroom building at Appalachian. This pseudo-institution was loosely based on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency.
The department was activated through two interactive performances in which visitors were asked to undergo an assessment of their civil presence that engages rituals of citizenship, from the filling out of governmental forms to pledging allegiance. These assessments were led by Kirby along with students and community members performing as officers during the event.
To accompany the installation and performance, the gallery featured a selection of Kirby's past projects at it's home location. Along with video documentation of some of Kirby's other performance works, students in the Art Department created a large scale mural based on Kirby's Yo Soy Vàlida billboard that was shown along the Durham Freeway in the months leading up to mid-term elections in 2018. The message of the piece, "I am Valid," boldly affirms the presence of Latinx people in the US.
Ando, a citizen news magazine, operated by local teen Raffaell Vazquez and his family, that broadcasts editorial videos through its youtube channel to the Latinx community was the media partner for the project. Other community partners included the Immigrant Justice Committee and Appalachian's Hispanic Student Association, which presented a community conversation on Immigration Rights in the High Country, with local law enforcement agents, civil rights experts, and legal counselors.

Yes, Arctic's freakishly warm winter is due to humans' climate influence
The end of 2016 has brought balmy Arctic temperatures and record low ice extent for the time of year
NEXT NEWS ❯

Last Updated: Tuesday 10 January 2017

For the Arctic, like the globe as a whole, 2016 has been exceptionally warm. For much of the year, Arctic temperatures have been much higher than normal, and sea ice concentrations have been at record low levels.
The Arctic's seasonal cycle means that the lowest sea ice concentrations occur in September each year. But while September 2012 had less ice than September 2016, this year the ice coverage has not increased as expected as we moved into the northern winter. As a result, since late October, Arctic sea ice extent has been at record low levels for the time of year.
Late 2016 has produced new record lows for Arctic ice. NSIDC, Author provided
These record low sea ice levels have been associated with exceptionally high temperatures for the Arctic region. November and December (so far) have seen record warm temperatures. At the same time Siberia, and very recently North America, have experienced conditions that are slightly cooler than normal.
Temperatures have been far above normal over vast areas of the Arctic this November and December. Geert Jan van Oldenborgh/KNMI/ERA-Interim, Author provided
Extreme Arctic warmth and low ice coverage affect the migration patterns of marine mammals and have been linked with mass starvation and deaths among reindeer, as well as affecting polar bear habitats.
Given these severe ecological impacts and the potential influence of the Arctic on the climates of North America and Europe, it is important that we try to understand whether and how human-induced climate change has played a role in this event.
Arctic attribution
Our World Weather Attribution group, led by Climate Central and including researchers at the University of Melbourne, the University of Oxford and the Dutch Meteorological Service (KNMI), used three different methods to assess the role of the human climate influence on record Arctic warmth over November and December.
We used forecast temperatures and heat persistence models to predict what will happen for the rest of December. But even with 10 days still to go, it is clear that November-December 2016 will certainly be record-breakingly warm for the Arctic.
Next, I investigated whether human-caused climate change has altered the likelihood of extremely warm Arctic temperatures, using state-of-the-art climate models. By comparing climate model simulations that include human influences, such as increased greenhouse gas concentrations, with ones without these human effects, we can estimate the role of climate change in this event.
This technique is similar to that used in previous analyses of Australian record heat and the sea temperatures associated with the Great Barrier Reef coral bleaching event.
The November-December temperatures of 2016 are record-breaking but will be commonplace in a few decades' time. Andrew King, Author provided
To put it simply, the record November-December temperatures in the Arctic do not happen in the simulations that leave out human-driven climate factors. In fact, even with human effects included, the models suggest that this Arctic hot spell is a 1-in-200-year event. So this is a freak event even by the standards of today's world, which humans have warmed by roughly 1℃ on average since pre-industrial times.
But in the future, as we continue to emit greenhouse gases and further warm the planet, events like this won't be freaks any more. If we do not reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, we estimate that by the late 2040s this event will occur on average once every two years.
Watching the trend
The group at KNMI used observational data (not a straightforward task in an area where very few observations are taken) to examine whether the probability of extreme warmth in the Arctic has changed over the past 100 years. To do this, temperatures slightly further south of the North Pole were incorporated into the analysis (to make up for the lack of data around the North Pole), and these indicated that the current Arctic heat is unprecedented in more than a century.
The observational analysis reached a similar conclusion to the model study: that a century ago this event would be extremely unlikely to occur, and now it is somewhat more likely (the observational analysis puts it at about a 1-in-50-year event).
The Oxford group used the very large ensemble of Weather@Home climate model simulations to compare Arctic heat like 2016 in the world of today with a year like 2016 without human influences. They also found a substantial human influence in this event.
Santa struggles with the heat. Climate change is warming the North Pole and increasing the chance of extreme warm events. Climate Central
All of our analysis points the finger at human-induced climate change for this event. Without it, Arctic warmth like this is extremely unlikely to occur. And while it's still an extreme event in today's climate, in the future it won't be that unusual, unless we drastically curtail our greenhouse gas emissions.
As we have already seen, the consequences of more frequent extreme warmth in the future could be devastating for the animals and other species that call the Arctic home.
Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, Marc Macias-Fauria, Peter Uhe, Sjoukje Philip, Sarah Kew, David Karoly, Friederike Otto, Myles Allen and Heidi Cullen all contributed to the research on which this article is based.
You can find more details on all the analysis techniques here. Each of the methods used has been peer-reviewed, although as with the Great Barrier Reef bleaching study, we will submit a research manuscript for peer review and publication in 2017.

"... So. We're retrieving fangs and pelts, right?
Has anyone here skinned an animal before?"
Frederic: "I have. My work as a knight included monster subjugation trips deep into the wilderness more than once. We brought our own food, but also used what we hunted. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I can get the pelt off. Though, it's uh. More than a little tricky with one arm. I'll teach you how to, you won't need much strength to carve low level monsters or beasts like this. There's a trick to getting the fangs out too I think, but I'm not very familiar with it. Something about hitting the jaw just right to pop them out."
"Alright, we'll be using your guidance then."
Frederic: "Get your learning cap on. I doubt Karina will be doing much skinning."
He gives a small smirk as he looks over at Karina, who sticks out her tongue from the side of her mouth in a look of childlike displeasure.
The beast island comes into view, and Frederic maneuvers the ship to circle it while you get a good look at the place. Seems like a medium sized island, roughly circular and about 2/3 the size of Madosa, which is a fairly large city for a sky island. The island itself seems to be somewhat bowl shaped, with a rim that drops sharply and a large hill in the center reaching up to the same height as the rim. Dense trees ring the outer portion of the island next to the rim, while the center portion is more open grasslands leading up to a rockier portion on the hill. From here, you can see a dark cave entrance on the hill in the center.
Frederic takes the ship down on one larger area on the rim near a ramp down to the interior of the island. There's a few mooring posts here, which you help lash the ship to. A couple other ships are tied around the edge of the island, including one at your place. You're a bit surprised that so few people are here right now, actually. This island is usually a hot spot for newer adventurers, especially right after graduation when there's a huge influx of them. Maybe it has to do with that Denmother quest you saw?
Regardless, now is time for hunting. Looking down onto the island, from here you can see a couple groups of wolves not too far from the edge woods, you could engage any of the groups alone. One group of four, no wait, five younger wolves playing off to one side, a group of three adults prowling around, and the last group has one adult and one uh, larger than adult wolf laying together peacefully. Probably just an Alpha wolf, the size difference isn't big enough to be a Dire wolf.
"Group of three adults. The five young ones might be inexperienced and easier to handle, but it's best to let them grow to adults before hunting them."
Frederic nods, and you almost miss Karina giving a small sigh of relief. The three of you make your way down the ramp into the forest, and begin heading through carefully, watching for any wolves in the woods. They seem to avoid the ramp for some reason, probably something set up by Madosa like those pillars at the slime island. You notice a few rabbits darting around in the woods off in the distance, but they don't seem to be bothered by your presence.
As you approach the group of wolves at the woods edge, they perk up and all look towards you. All three of their hackles raise up, and they give a low growl.
> Aimed Shot into the nearest wolf!
The three wolves leap into action before any of your group can make the first move!
Wolf 1 attacks Gram with Holding Bite!
Wolf 2 attacks Gram with Holding Bite!
Wolf 3 attacks Gram with Slam!
The first two wolves immediately jump forward, each one biting down on Gram's arms. Thankfully, their teeth don't penetrate his thick shirt and leather armor, but the thrashing dogs make it almost impossible to fight back. Then, the third wolf body slams Gram, again not inflicting damage through his armor.
Gram uses Aimed Shot on Wolf 3!
Despite this, Gram still manages to level his gun at the third wolf and fire a shot into it. It yelps in pain as the shot hits in in the side, but shows no signs of giving up.
Wolf 3 takes 9 damage!
Karina stands frozen, Frederic hesitating to swing his massive swords with the wolves still all over Gram.
Rank 1 Willpower "Sword Guardian"
"Can you try uh, pulling one of these guys off and stranglin' em?"
Frederic: "Probably not a good idea with only one arm. Here."
Frederic steps forward casually, then reels back his right leg and delivers a solid kick into the stomach of the wolf on your right arm.
Frederic attacks Wolf 2 unarmed! Wolf 2 takes 15 damage!
It yelps in pain as it sails back through the air, then tumbles along the ground. Wow, he really laid into it.
The wolf, now hobbling a bit, gets back to its feet and growls at Frederic, but instead of attacking again, rears back its head and lets out a burst of short, sharp barking howls.
A moment passes uneasily, the first wolf still on your arm, and the third pacing by the second wolf. You wonder for a moment if that was all. Then, you hear a growl from the side. And then another. And then five more from the other side.
Seems like the other two groups of wolves you saw heard the call. All of the wolves seem to bristle and increase in ferocity as the reinforcements arrive.
Reminder: Gram can analyze enemies.
Frederick, hit the alpha with everything you got! I'll hold back the pups!"
> Gram: Use free hand to grab the nearest adult wolf and charge towards the puppers! Yell loudly to get their attention!
> Frederick: Heavy Slash Alpha Wolf!
> Karina: Kirakira armor on Gram! Basic Heal on Gram at the end of the round! Basic Heal on Self if damaged!
Before anyone can take action, the Alpha Wolf barks fiercely and snarls at the pups, who immediately tuck their tails and run back towards the hill in the center of the island. Looks like they don't want the young ones involved.
After that, the Alpha turns back to the group, and settles its sight on Frederic.
Alpha Wolf attacks Frederic! Attack hits, dealing no damage!
It charges to bite at the knight, but Frederic easily blocks the attack with his sword and the wolf retreats warily.
It then turns its sight to you, and growls. The three regular wolves not already grabbing onto you charge as one, fangs bared.
Wolf 3 attacks Gram with Holding Bite! Attack hits, dealing no damage!
Wolf 4 attacks Gram with Holding Bite! Attack hits, dealing no damage!
Wolf 1 attacks Gram! Attack hits, dealing no damage!
Wolf 2 attacks Gram! Attack hits, dealing no damage!
Three of them are now clinging onto your various limbs, and though thankfully they've gripped onto your leather protectors, you're almost entirely unable to maneuver like this. The last wolf bites at your armor, then backs off after being unsuccessful.
Well, good news is you definitely have all their attention, and now Frederic can focus on the alpha. You hope they don't wisen up to the non-armored bits of you any time soon.
Seeing you take the pack's attention, Frederic charges at the Alpha, brandishing his sword.
Frederic uses Heavy Slash on Alpha Wolf! Attack hits, dealing 41 damage!
The knight readies his sword behind his back as he runs, and the second he is close enough, he whips his arm directly overhead, bringing the blade down onto the alpha directly. It sees the attack coming, but the sudden appearance of the gigantic blade from behind the man takes it by surprise, and it does not manage to dodge out of the way in time. The blade cuts deep through the wolf's side and leg, nearly severing the front right limb. It yelps in pain and falls backwards, before returning to its feet unsteadily.
Karina readies her staff, still somewhat hesitant, and casts on Gram.
Karina uses Glitter Armor on Gram!
Frederic: "I can take this dog easily. How are you holding in there, Gram?"
"Holding on fine! The wolves are holding better!"
Frederic pauses for a moment, but returns his attention to the Alpha Wolf in time to block another bite, this one weakened by the wolf's wound.
The wolf growls weakly before Frederic slashes it again, this time the blade cutting deep into the wolf. It crumples to the ground without another noise.
Frederic attacks Alpha Wolf! Alpha Wolf is slain!
The other wolves covering Gram stop growling and look over at the Alpha's corpse, then in a panic, all release Gram and run with their tails tucked between their legs.
Frederic: "...huh. They know they're outmatched. Good.
Are you alright, Gram? Those things were chewing on you pretty hard."
"Yeah, they only managed to get my armor."
> Dust myself off / shake off wolf saliva. Inspect our kill.


There are still some things that don't quite add up here. Leah doesn't seem to have an issue with credit considering it took one phone call to get her limit raised on a card so she could buy a new washer and dryer. Also why would she allow the bills to go unpaid? Why not pay them and then take Corey to court for the half he owes? How many days per week does Corey have the girls? Leah says one day a week but Corey says Friday through Monday… These are questions that I hope get answered in upcoming episodes of the show.
Previous Previous post: Catelynn Lowell Hints at Her Baby Girl's Name!
IMO, just like millions of other non-custodial fathers who pay child support to their ex partner, spouse, etc., Corey has an attitude of wanting to be in total control of how his support money is spent, and of how his insurance handled the wheelchair claim. It does not matter in most states, nor is it fair, for the step-parent's income to be used to decide the amount of child support that the non-custodial parent must pay. Most often, it is the custodial parent who is with the child at least 90 percent of the time and who knows what the child needs on a day-to-day basis. The non-custodial parent has to help pay for those needs, but he/she does not get to decide what those needs are. He did not want Ali to have that, or any, wheelchair, because he is too dumb and ignorant that he refuses to listen to her doctors that the wheelchair will save her muscle strength and allow her to have energy when that energy is needed, during play, school, etc. Tiring her muscles out by forcing her to walk to the playground or by walking in the hallways of her school is totally cruel, unnecessary, and borders on child neglect. He was neglecting her need for her wheelchair.
Corey doesn't force Ali to do things that she can't do. He didn't want Ali to get lazy and use the chair when she didn't need to. Which is understandable. He doesn't want her loosing the strength that she has before the inevitable. If you saw in the episode he took the girls to the zoo, he planned to use the wheelchair and it was broken so he put the girls in a stroller. He didn't make Ali walk the whole time. I really don't think that Corey is a stupid guy. I think he had a hard time accepting the situation but who wouldn't? It's a hard thing to deal with. I do think he has the girls best interest at heart always.
Like so many other non-custodial parents, Corey comes across as having the attitude that as long as he provides what his girls need when they are with him, then their mother should provide for them when they are with her. However, gov't enforced child support does not work that way, and he is refusing to listen to reason, even when Leah gave him such a big break on the previously ordered amount. If Corey really thinks that the judge will give him a financial break based on the time that his girls are with him, then I would love to be "a fly on the wall" during that proceeding. It's highly doubtful that the judge will give him full custody, but I also am concerned with whatever meds the doctors are giving to Leah, because she is very visibly "high as a kite", hanging on for dear life to her car door to keep herself upright.
Leah should lose all custody of the twins.
That medicine thing dealt with a couple episodes not present tense. Medication levels needed to be adjusted.she seems perfectly fine now. Thats in the past your not looking at what's currently going on.
I thought that Corey and Leah did really good for a while on co parenting. That was until Money became an issue for Corey. He was lucky to have Leah agree on 200 a month. Thats not much to take care of two kids. For him to complain about that is stupid. He should want to give her more to help the girls. I think Corey and Leah need to just put their differences a side for the girls. Corey needs to stop trying to be hurtful to Leah because it affects the girls. As far as people bad mouthing Leah or Corey none of you know the full story of either side so the guardian ad litum will find that out. Neither parent is bad they are lashing out at one another and sometimes thats what happens with exes. So when posting post valid points to help them. They are young parents they doing thing trial and error. Don't sit and bash them and say things that are mean. Explain your answer if its a valid point otherwise it just makes you look ridiculous. Some of you on here have good points. But to those that are just being down right mean thats wrong. You wouldn't like it if someone attacked you and your life. Hopefully Corey and Leah can get back to good co-parenting in the future. I wish them both the best of luck. I know the both care about the girls but I don't think they understand what's best for them with the battling.
So true you nailed it. I think they are both great parents. not perfect but good and also has great spouses there for those girls. but could use some improvements but like you said just need to put their differences aside and do what's best for those girls.

There are also tips on how to extend the conversation at home. Every opportunity, even when watching a movie, can be a teachable moment!

Latest Property News:CDA Chairman Cancels Plot Allotments
February 12, 2013 by Faraz Ali
CDA Chairman Cancels Plot Allotments
CDA Chairman Cancels Plot AllotmentsThe Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) has cancelled the allotment of 109 residential plots to officials of the civic authority after employees' union protest against the move. A letter issued by the Chairman CDA to the Members Estate, Planning and Development stated, "It is categorically clarified that Chairman CDA neither approved nor directed any officer of the Authority for allotment of plots to its officers/officials."
The important point is that the allotment is cancelled for the second time. Last year, it also happened when the CDA union employees locked all doors and barred the accesses into the chairman's block to protest against allotment of plots.
According to a union leader, the allotment of plots happened secretly without taking other members of the authority in confidence. The union does not have anything against the officers who were allotted plots but the law was violated. Regular officers with less than ten years of service have been given plots. It is also clear that only the employees with over ten years of regular service were entitled to receive residential plots in the city. Officials on deputation had to complete one year in office before they could become eligible.
The union spokesperson said that the protest will continue until the needs of all those employees who have worked with CDA for 12-14 years were met

Connecting Galaxy and Supermassive Black Hole Growth During the Last 8 Billion Years

galaxy evolution
Dickinson, Mark E.
Fan, Xiaohui
It has become increasingly clear that a complete picture of galaxy evolution requires a better understanding of the role of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). In particular, they could be responsible for regulating star formation and galaxy growth via feedback processes. There are also competing views about the main modes of stellar growth and supermassive black hole growth in galaxies that need to be resolved. With high infrared luminosities (thus star formation rates) and a frequent occurrence of AGN, galaxies selected in the far-infrared wavebands form an ideal sample to search for a connection between AGN and star formation. The first part of this thesis contains a detailed analysis of the molecular gas properties of nearby infrared luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs). We find that the enhanced molecular gas density in the most IR-luminous systems can be explained by major galaxy mergers, and that AGN are more likely to reside in higher-density systems. While the frequent concurrence of AGN and galaxy mergers in ULIRGs was already established, this work provides a coherent framework that explains trends observed with five molecular gas tracers with a broad range of critical densities, and a comparison with simulations that reproduce observed molecular line ratios without invoking AGN-induced chemistry. The second part of the thesis presents an analysis of the AGN content of intermediate redshift galaxies (0.3

When you are ready for spiritual growth, your energy fields tend to vibrate at a higher level. This higher energy attracts higher beings (guardian angels, spiritual guides, whatever you want to call them) to assist in this growth. And at these times you seem to experience more unusual phenomenon. You may be more sharply aware of things around you. You might see colors, lights or images where you wouldn't expect them. You might find that you have a sudden "knowledge" of things just before they happen, or "know" what people are going to say just before they say it. These events serve to open your eyes more to the spiritual world where you can get assistance from these higher beings. Although it's a little disconcerting (okay, sometimes it's scary!), it's not a situation that you need to worry about or analyze; you simply need to accept the experience as a sign of your spiritual growth and existence.
To pursue your spiritual or psychic development you can follow any basic meditation technique. I find that certain breathing exercises help me to focus during meditation. I usually take a slow deep breath for a count of five, hold that breath for a count of twenty and then release it slowly to the count of ten. Don't worry if you can't hold your breath for that long, the idea is to take a slow breath, allow the breath time to move oxygen into your blood system and then slowly release the breath. You can repeat the breathing exercise again if you need to. It's a good way to relax and clear your thoughts - thus allowing your spiritual center to open up.
While you are meditating, ask for guidance from your angels or guides in order to better understand what these visions and events might mean. Then relax and observe whatever images appear in your mind. These may not make sense to you in the beginning, but with time you will better understand what's happening. Your enlightenment will follow as the event has time to work its way into your subconscious mind. There were times when I had visions where it was days, weeks, or in one case, years before I understood the meaning of what I saw.
The most important thing to understand about all of this is that it's a fairly normal event. When these events occur just remain calm, observe the event, log it in your mind and give thanks for the experience. We are spiritual beings and as we grow, we become more aware of the spiritual aspect of our environment and the spiritual beings that are there to guide us on our path.


Good health is an expansive idea. It definitely means addressing uncomfortable medical symptoms, but it also means taking care of yourself throughout the year so you can embrace life and all it has to offer on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. As we at Doctors Express Urgent Care Urgent Care Hamilton extend our tidings to you for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving season, we hope that you will reflect on your own health and the ways in which it allows you to create a vibrant rewarding life.


Get everyone tatted up for your night on the town!
So, lovelies… which of these temporary wedding tattoos is your fave? Does it make you want to get inked, if even just for the day? I want ALL OF THESE. I'd have to say that #1 is still my favorite, though. Share yours below!
Hi Angel! Great to hear from you. I can't wait to get my hands on these… I'm so used to seeing "kid" temporary tattoos and it's refreshing to see modern styles for adults. Thanks for doing such great work!
I am the same way! Do not have any permanent tattoos and do not know if I'll ever get one!
Thank you for featuring my Love finger temporary tattoo!!
Andrea, glad you liked them!
Definitely unique and cool options!


As I was getting ready to release the first episode this morning (it's released now!) of the free VO Booking Blueprint class I put together for you, it struck me how often in life we miss the simple stuff, and it can easily trip us up.
We forget our wallet or phone as we head out the door.
We walk into a class without a notebook.
We order something online without checking reviews or prices – we just assume Amazon is the cheapest.
The same things can happen when we're getting an audition together for a voice over gig, and that's what I talk about in this first lesson of the Blueprint.
In this lesson, I show you the most common basics we overlook when auditioning.
I also show you easy ways to avoid missing that simple stuff – to make your auditions sound amazing.

'The Five-Year Engagement' Star Emily Blunt Gives Relationship Advice: "Empower the Other One"
Sure, Emily Blunt stars in the new romantic comedy, The Five-Year Engagement, with Jason Segel and off-screen she's married to John Krasinski so it's no surprise she dished some relationship advice at a press conference for the movie.
OK! NEWS: JASON SEGEL ON "BUD" EMILY BLUNT — "SHE'S PART OF THE GANG"
She told reporters, as pointed out by Celebuzz, "Life is complicated and shake shifting all the time and you have to be willing to roll with the punches. The main thing that I find hard to learn as a British person is communication."
Emily also mentioned it's important to talk to each other and "you have to be forever generous." Instead of clipping each other's wings, she added, "You have to really empower the other one to be everything they can be."
OK! NEWS: EMILY BLUNT ON JASON SEGEL'S FULL FRONTAL IN FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT — "I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE IT!"
The Five-Year Engagement opens nationwide in theaters on Friday, April 27.

Gina Carano Joins Deadpool
Tom White Friday, February 13, 2015
Following our first, teasing look at the long awaited comic book adaption yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter is......reporting that MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano will be joining the cast of X-Men sin-off Deadpool. Carano will be starring opposite Ryan Reynolds, as the titular fast healing assassin, and T.J. Miller's undisclosed comedy relief role as Angel Dust, a member of an underground dwelling band of mutants who call themselves Morlocks, who can elevate her adrenaline levels to give herself super strength. No doubt, given Carano's background she will take centre stage in some hard hitting fight scenes.
Also, the trade confirms that long standing X-Men member Colossus will be making an appearance, though it is unconfirmed that actor Daniel Cudmore will be reprising the role. But considering he was brought back for last years X-Men: Days of Future Past after last playing the role in X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006, it could be a safe bet to assume he will.
Deadpool hits our screens February 12th 2016.

Hasib's story
Prior to the fall of Kabul, Hasib was a PhD holder and worked as a minister of agriculture in Afghanistan. His wife was starting her last year of medical school. Hasib could remember when the Taliban first invaded Afghanistan 20 years ago and he was forced to flee his home as a child. He never imagined the Taliban would return and that the people of Afghanistan would lose everything they had worked so hard for.
Hasib was at the bank when the Taliban re-took Kabul. As chaos broke out in the crowded streets, Hasib abandoned his car and quickly walked home where he immediately started disposing of anything that could potentially link him to the United States. His American education – he received his PhD from Michigan State University – and work with USAID made him a prime target.
Hasib and other MSU alum share their evacuation stories with Spirit of America CEO, Jim Hake.
As Taliban members went door to door in search of anyone with connections to the US, Hasib knew that he and his family would not be safe in their own home. In preparation for their journey, his wife borrowed a hijab from a neighbor and went to the store for supplies; she was terrified but knew that it was a risk she had to take for her family.
Over the next few days, Hasib moved his family around to avoid capture. They had to be ready to head for the airport at a moment's notice. Hasib spent an excruciating amount of time waiting for an evacuation message from US contacts that he began to doubt would ever arrive. At the point of losing all hope, Hasib finally received a message to board a minibus that was part of a large convoy heading to the airport.
The convoy made 10 unsuccessful attempts to get into the airport, each time being blocked by a Taliban member holding a gun and threatening to beat anyone who did not turn back. The bus was overcrowded with no food or bathrooms. At one point, the son of Hasib's friend fell to the floor, struggling to breathe. Though he risked being shot by the Taliban, Hasib briefly left the bus to get water for the boy.
After almost 24 hours, the buses finally made it through the airport gates. The relief felt by the passengers was short-lived as they joined a line of thousands of people waiting to pass through checkpoints. There was nowhere to sit or take shelter from the cold wind. His children eventually gave into exhaustion and fell asleep amid piles of trash. Night approached, and they still did not have food or access to toilets. The next day, they could hear the blasts from the suicide bombing, which killed 13 US servicemembers and 170 Afghan civilians. The crowd panicked: They did not know what was happening, and they had no place to take cover.
Hasib's son shortly after they made it safely through the airport gates in Kabul.
Hasib holds his daughter, Mahsa.
Hasib and his family finally made it onto a plane headed for Albania where they joined a group of evacuees awaiting resettlement. Spirit of America provided room and board and material aid, as well as meeting other major needs such as healthcare and education for the group of 121 Afghan evacuees in Albania.
Despite his harrowing journey and all of the uncertainties he faces, Hasib remains hopeful. He hopes to help his wife finish medical school and become a doctor; he hopes to give his children an education so that they grow up to be good people; and he hopes to one day serve the people of both America and Afghanistan as an Afghan-American.
