Aston-Martin/Lagonda Appointment
Mr. James Watt has been appointed to the David Brown Tractor Group as Assistant General Manager of the Automobile Division.
It will be recalled that the Aston-Martin and Lagonda Motor Car companies, located at Feltham and Hanworth Park, were acquired since the war by the David Brown Tractor Group. Mr. David Brown, who is himself keenly interested in high-performance motor cars, is chairman and managing director of both companies.
Mr. Watt was, before the war, with Triumph and S.S. Jaguar Cars, and soon after the war founded, as co-director with Donald Healey, the Donald Healey Motor Company.
For the past two years Mr. Walt has been with the Austin Motor Co., concentrating mainly on exports. He was a squadron-leader in the R.A.F. during the war, and after operations with Coastal Command, was in command of a blind flying school. He holds the Air Efficiency Award.

Get your XBox 360 to play m4v files..
OK so everyone's been raving about how the fall update has added divx playback to the 360 which is all good and well but then there's the folks out there that use iTunes.
Apparently, when you download/subscribe to vidcasts through iTunes, some of them are in mp4 format (the extension is actually m4v). OK, enough of this boring stuff, how do you get these files to work with your 360? Easy: just change the extension to .avi. 😀 I only use iTunes for audio podcasts so I can't say I've tested this but hey, if you've got vidcasts lying around that you want to stream to your Xbox, try it.

In August of 2006 many were disappointed to hear the 9th Planet in our Milky Way Galaxy had been downgraded to the status of a "Dwarf Planet" by the International Astronomical Union. Some of the reasons for Pluto's rejection from our local group ranged from disputes concerning the now dwarf planet's size, shape, and orbit around the sun. But with NASA's New Horizons spacecraft recent flyby of the dwarf planet, Pluto may be in for a upgrade.
The new images reveal terrain that "…is not easy to explain," according to Jeff Moore, the leader of the New Horizons Geology, Geophysics and Imaging Team (GGI). Icy mountain ranges, icy plains, and evidence that would suggest the presents of volcanoes and geysers. The mountain ranges which are as vast as the Rockies have peaks reaching as high as 11,000 feet. "These mountains are quite spectacular," according to scientist John Spencer, of the Southwest Research Institute. The mountains must be made of water ice since frozen methane and nitrogen would collapse upon itself at those elevations.
The icy plains, informally named after the Russian satellite the "Sputnik Planum" (Sputnik plain), show dark streaks a few miles long. These streaks are aligned in the same direction and may be the result of winds blowing across the icy surface. The plains are still young. They are believed to be only 100 million years old. It is thought that geological processes may still be underway which will continue to mold the developing icy region. New data also shows the dwarf planet to be larger than previously thought. At 1470 miles across the frozen world may be hiding more ice and less rock than believed in the past.
Will Pluto Get Another Chance?
that light travels in one year, roughly 6 trillion miles. Needless to contend Kepler 452b is far away from Earth. Spotting Earth 2.0 is usually half a conflict a other half would be removing.

Reception[edit]
Baradwaj Rangan gave a positive review and said, "Bombay Rose subverts not just Bombay cinema's storytelling, but also the implicit assumptions of Bombay cinema."[6] Guy Lodge of Variety said that Rao's "exquisitely realized debut feature offers folk-influenced visual splendor to compensate for some jumbled storytelling."[7] Xan Brooks from The Guardian wrote: "Bombay Rose's high-stakes melodrama might be ripped from the real world, but it has been powdered and perfumed – crammed full of archetypes and over-egged emotions, liberally sprinkled with musical interludes."[8]
Fionnuala Halligan of Screen International felt that the film is "at heart a dark story, yet it can also shine brightly, dealing with heartbreak and hope, a perilous life in the slums of Mumbai in which death is always close by but a big-screen Bollywood escapist ending is equally only a cinema ticket away."[9] Gautaman Bhaskaran of Arab News said that the color palette's in the film were "may be opulent and eye-catching" but the storytelling "is weak, probably a result of poor editing and wanting to pack in too much."[10]

Superfast Bigfoot Filmed In Russian Forest And What Do The Scientist Have To Say About It
The existence of Bigfoot has hardly been studied, and neither there is definite evidence of this giant creature walking the surface of the Earth.
Still, reports from scared eyewitnesses keep on piling from all around the world.
A video shot by the local residents of the southwest of Russia, near the city of Adygeisk, shows a superfast bigfoot.
In the video, you can see a dark figure moving very quickly as if trying to hide from people.
At first, the eyewitnesses thought of it to be a bear, however, gradually it became clear that it was something completely different.
The author of the video firmly believes that it was entirely a different creature that was around 8-9 feet tall.
"We thought it was a bear, but we saw that this creature was running on two legs. It moved very quickly".
Author of the video for the Russian media.
"We were shocked by what we saw. This creature was huge, maybe 8-9 ft. Nobody would have believed us if we hadn't filmed everything."
Author of the video for the Russian media
Scientists from the USA, assert that they have managed to solve the mystery of the origin of the Bigfoot and in their opinion the creature is a hybrid of a person and an unknown creature.
A team of researchers from the Texas DNA Laboratory has come up with interesting results saying that the strange creature can be attributed to primates.
The Researchers believe that the crossing of the species took place about 15 thousand years ago.
Upon examining the specimens found in different regions of the world including the saliva, blood, skin, and hair of the alleged bigfoot, the majority of the researchers believe that this creature could be a hybrid of a person and a certain creature unknown to science.
Teams of researchers from Russia examined the hair samples, presumably belonging to a Bigfoot, found in the Azasskaya cave in Kuzbass, and reached similar conclusions.
The analysis conducted by the Russian scientists stated that the hair found may belong to a primate, and not to humans.
According to scientists, the creature's macromolecule differs from human DNA by no more than 1 percent, which may well speak of the reality of Bigfoot.
An Anthropologist Todd Disotell of New York University in New York City, who has conducted unpublished analyses of anomalous primate samples in the past says:
"There are very few reputable scientists who have ever been willing to go public on record as far as Bigfoot and yeti".
"This study did it right, reducing contamination and following all the standard protocols."
Todd Disotell
However, the major question is why we have not been able to come face to face with the Bigfoot, when there has been numerous eye witnesses report.
What is the reality of bigfoot?

The best thing about the HTC One (M8)
Somehow, despite the steady stream of leaks that had spoiled nearly everything about the new HTC One (M8) over the past few weeks, HTC's new flagship smartphone still managed to blow us away. Announced on Tuesday morning, the second-generation HTC One hero phone bests its predecessor in every way, highlighted by a fresh new design that is somehow even more sleek and elegant than the original model.
As we noted in our full HTC One (M8) review, this new flagship Android phone is no slouch when it comes to performance, either. The handset's specs are highlighted by a quad-core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 5-inch full HD display, 16GB or 32GB of storage, microSDXC support, a 2,600 mAh battery, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with a wide-angle lens, two UltraPixel rear cameras with a dual-LED flash, and Android 4.4 KitKat with Sense 6.
We have already published our in-depth HTC One (M8) review that covers every important aspect of this phone. As BGR began doing late last year with the Nexus 5, however, we also want to take some time to dive a bit deeper into the best and worst features of HTC's new hero phone.
Considering the fact that we just called the new HTC One the best Android phone the world has ever seen, narrowing things down to a single "best" feature is no easy task. The phone's 1080p Super LCD 3 display is beautiful and crisp, the 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and accompanying components are fast and powerful, the new Sense 6 software atop Android 4.4 KitKat is sleek and modern, and HTC's "sensor hub" adds several great touch and motion gestures.
But in the end, the M8's design is absolutely the star of the show.
Featuring a completely redesigned housing that is now 90% metal, the HTC One (M8) is easily the most beautiful and unique smartphone the world has ever seen. The aluminum back now wraps around the sides and bottom of the phone, creating a design that looks incredible. It's also quite ergonomic, with carefully placed curves that help the phone sit perfectly in the hand.
The smooth aluminum dives inward to a polished, chamfered edge as it approaches the Gorilla Glass 3 screen cover on the face of the device. Metal inserts above and below the display include HTC's signature micro-drilled speaker covers to complete the look.
In terms of materials, the new HTC One is the best in the business here as well.
Matched only by Apple's iPhone 5s among widely available smartphones, the M8 feels like a million bucks compared to the competition. In a sea of phones encased in thin plastic that feels flimsy and looks cheap, the aluminum One (M8) is a diamond in the rough.
HTC has a history of playing with different finishes on its aluminum smartphones. My favorite is still the micro-arc oxidized finish on the black HTC One S from 2012, but the new brushed metal finish on the gunmetal gray HTC One (M8) I received to review is now a close second. It really is a great point of differentiation, with nothing else on the market that looks anything like it.
That said, the silver aluminum carried over from the original One, now called "glacial silver," is also a terrific option for the M8. And while I would never personally carry it, the "amber gold" model is absolutely gorgeous. I have no idea how HTC's designers managed to find the exact shade of gold aluminum that they could wrap the new One in without making it look gaudy and lurid, but they did.
There are dozens of things that all come together to make the HTC One (M8) a fantastic smartphone. Inside and out, HTC has done a superb job of creating a smartphone with a look that draws people in, backed up by software and performance that keep them in. The standout element here really is the design, though, and HTC should be quite proud of the product it has created.
BGR's full HTC One (M8) review can be found here, and a piece on the worst thing about the HTC One (M8) can be found here.
This post is part of a new feature on BGR that supplements our standard product reviews. In this series, BGR takes a closer look at the best and worst qualities of some of the most popular consumer devices in the world in an effort to dive deeper into exactly what makes them stand out.

$230M Superstar and Future Hall of Famer Predict Won't Join Lakers
The $230 million superstar and future Hall of Famer has been predicted not to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Jan. 18, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto released a quote he received from an NBA executive who predicted Kyrie Irving would re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets this summer. Irving has had close ties to the Lakers since he played with LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2014-15 to 2016-17.
However, several NBA executives who spoke to HoopsHype believe that "Irving and the Nets will continue their partnership beyond this season — a proposition that many in the league felt unlikely given Irving's suspension and Brooklyn's lackluster start to the season," Scotto wrote .
"I think Kyrie will end up with the Nets in a short overtime," an NBA executive predicted in an interview with HoopsHype. "A sign-and-trade for Kyrie this summer would be difficult given the length and fortune it takes to make that happen from another team. I think there is an incentive to renew a one-plus-one or two-year contract. If I'm Brooklyn, I won't come for more than two years. I don't know if Kyrie would accept that. The Lakers will head into the summer with Cap Space and can offer $60 million for two years in which he could return to LeBron James and play with Anthony Davis.
Irving is in his last year of contract. The all-star point guard, who signed a four-year, $136.5 million deal with the Nets in July 2019, will have made more than $230 million in his career when free agency begins this offseason. Irving has played for the Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Nets. He has career averages of 23.2 points and 5.7 assists.
In a Dec. 31 column titled "36 Bold Predictions for the Next Year in Sports," Sports Illustrated's Howard Beck predicted that Irving would join the Lakers as an unrestricted free agent in the summer. Although the Nets are currently playing excellent basketball, the franchise might be content to let Irving go in the offseason due to his controversial history. The one-time champion never took the COVID-19 vaccine and tweeted a link to an anti-Semitic video in 2022.
"The Nets seem content to end this season with their current core, including the constant distraction in the No 11 shirt. But this is an all-or-nothing campaign now. Unless the Nets win it all, it's hard to imagine them re-signing Irving next summer," Beck wrote. "Given his recent history, it's also hard to see a big market for him. However, we know that LeBron James would welcome a reunion."
Irving has played 32 games this season for the Nets, who are 27-16. The Duke product averages 25.6 points and 4.8 assists while shooting 48.0% from the field, 35.6% from beyond the arc, and 90.2% from the free throw line. The Nets are 20-12 with Irving in the lineup.
James would "love" to play with Irving again, league sources told Heavy Sports. Irving and James played 183 regular-season games together with the Cavaliers, posting a stellar record of 132-51. The two stars went 39-13 in the postseason and led the Cavaliers to the 2016 championship over the Golden State Warriors in seven convincing games. Cleveland became the first team in NBA history to close a 3-1 series deficit in the Finals.
The Lakers attempted to acquire Irving in July 2022, with Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reporting that Los Angeles and Brooklyn were actively involved in discussions of a trade package that would have sent Russell Westbrook to the Nets and Irving to the Lakers. However, the trade never materialized.
James and Irving were a dynamic duo in Cleveland. Irving averaged 22.1 points and 5.3 assists alongside James, while LeBron averaged 25.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game with Irving.

Numero UNO: gyro B2B Agency of the Year
Mar 13, 2013 | 2013
I joined gyro in 2010. At that time we were called GyroHSR, and were a collection of 9 small to mid-size agencies from around the world that were part of a roll-up. We didn't share a common language, system or culture. What held us together was a vision of being the world's best B2B agency.
The first year was challenging. I came into the ad business from the outside. My experience had been consulting and marketing services. I naively thought it would be an easy transition, that my world and this world weren't that far apart. I was wrong. Everything seemed to have a learning curve, I spoke a different language and the other side of my brain, long neglected, needed to be developed.
Over the next two years almost everything would change. We dropped the "HSR" and became known solely as gyro. Our investors brought in a new management team and our new CEO & Chief Creative Officer, Christoph Becker would completely remake our creative teams across the network. But most importantly, Christoph would change our culture, our language and our focus. And along the way, the right side of my brain began to develop.
During this time, we undertook two intiatives that I think have set us up for the success that we are enjoying today. The first, was that we believed that "b2b marketing" as we knew it, was "dead". Targeting a business buyer by a title, at a business address, during business hours, was an antiquated concept. We would later prove that to be the case with our @Work State of Mind research conducted with academic institutions and Forbes (click here for the research report).
The second was that ideas needed to be "humanly relevant". That behind every business decision maker was a person, and that person made decisions based on emotions. Our research would show that the buyers journey was, in fact, a very rational process up until the point of the decision…and then emotions took over.
It became easy to differentiate ourselves from competitors, and clients/prospects believed in what we preaching. As the wins starting coming, our culture started to align around what we call UNO. One language, one process, one culture, we became unified across the network. Client teams from across the world began working together to deliver the best ideas and outputs, regardless of the location. Our work starting winning awards, and the world started to notice.
What's different about BtoB magazine award today, isn't necessarily that we've been recognized, gyro has won awards in the past. But rather it's an external validation point that we are on the right path, and the hard work is paying off. We won in the "Large" agency category (our first year in that category), going up against the "best of the best," like Ogilvy. It's a litmus test that our vision of being the best B2B agency in the world, and the reason why most of us joined gyro, is being realized, at least in the U.S…and at least for this year.
We not done yet, we still have work to do and clients to dazzle, but for now…we're Numero UNO, and it feels good.
It's not unusual to find companies referring to their relationship with clients as "partnerships." It's common to find client logos on vendor websites. But how often do you see an agency or consulting firm's logo on client websites? If you visit www.evepark.ca – that's exactly what you'll see.
Carbon Design, represented side by side with, a global architecture powerhouse, a world-class designer, and the project principal: the innovative green-tech engineering firm, S2E Technologies Inc. Under S2E's leadership, these firms are inventing a new consumer category – one that integrates bold new ideas about housing and transportation – and radically resets the carbon footprint of both at the same time.
Did you know, that until recently restaurant owners only cared about the cleanliness of the food prep area? Most customers, and owners, assumed that if someone got sick after dining out it was because of food poisoning. That was until Carbon Design and Challenger Inc. helped "challenge" the norm by showing owners that half of the outbreaks in a restaurant were caused by people to people transmissions.
Now owners know where the "hotspots" are, and as a result, restaurant are cleaner than ever. Grab your face mask and enjoy a safe night out, but you may want to avoid the raw oysters 😉.
How do you do it? By giving clients and users what they want. Using the remaining budget that was to be used to update the site with the new branding we designed and built an entirely new site on a new platform. But audience needs are constantly evolving so the work never stops. Our team continues to audit performance and make improvements.
As a result, the two-year journey has paid off with the site being named #1 in the industry. Even more importantly, their key priority areas (site search, attorney profiles, etc.) were ranked in the outstanding category. Proving that excellence is a journey not just a destination.

A new mystery in Egypt: a missed Sphinx has been found 400 miles from the Great Pyramid
Last month a documentary reported that a missed Sphinx has been found 400 miles from the Great Pyramids.
LakeshiaH
The great Sphinx of Giza is an incredible sculpture of a creature half pharaon half animal, dominating the Nile. That's the oldest sculpture in Egypt and was built to protect the fourth dynasty leader. But that's not the only existing Sphinx.
Tony Robinson discovered another sphinx during his Channel 5 series "Egyptian Tomb Hunting" in Gebel el-Silsila. John Ward shared that the region of ancient Egypt was the hub for workers sculpturing limestone for the Giza Plateau.
Silsilia was a king of workshop for anything that was made for sandstone. They found a Sphinx that due to a big cracking, was abandoned. In the same series the archaeologists discovered about nine tombs.
These tombs were broken to steal treasure, that was the main goal of visitors. Mr Robinson said it was clearly visible the see signs of the robbers' work, with damages and breakages of the stone roof of the tomb as well doorways .
This was the first time having someone filming the interior of the tombs. The tomb of Imhotep is one of the most famous, he controlled Aswan around 1450BC, just a few generations before Tutankhamun and Ramses The Great.
Being not finished, probably he died before the tomb was ready.

A preparation course for the IELTS Academic examination.
IELTS Target 5.0 is aimed at students wishing to prepare for the IELTS exam while studying at pre-intermediate level. The main focus of preparation is IELTS General Training, as this is more appropriate for this level of student. Additional bridging material is incorporated later in the course for those students wishing to continue with IELTS Academic.
The IELTS General Training section consists of three five-unit sections that take the student from a strong elementary to intermediate level. The earlier units focus on basic skills and basic language, including sentence structure and spelling. The IELTS Academic section consists of five units that prepare students for the academic content of reading passages and the more challenging writing tasks. By the end of the course, students will be working with text and language that is close to that found in the exam. Exam tips are provided throughout the course to familiarize students with the various exam tasks and to provide advice on how to obtain the highest score possible.
Speaking and Vocabulary: This prepares students for the type of interaction they can expect with the examiner. The vocabulary selected is that most frequently encountered during the Speaking test.
Listening: This module is in two sections. The first section engages students in a topic and pre-teaches key vocabulary, before focusing on a key skill or particular IELTS exam technique. The second section practises the skill.
Reading: As with the Listening Module.
Writing: This deals with both parts of the Writing test, each unit focusing on a different writing skill or technique. There is a focus on guided writing, with model compositions and reports for all tasks.
Consolidation and Exam Practice: The first part revises the speaking focus and vocabulary in the first module. The second part practises listening, reading or writing skills under exam-type conditions.
Each Academic unit consists of Reading and Writing Modules only.
The course also includes end-of-section review material and mock tests.
See accompanying Teacher's Book and Interactive Course Book CD-ROM.
Chris Gough has taught in the UK and Spain and was involved in teacher training in the UK for a number of years. He now spends all his time writing materials, though he still regularly moderates training courses for Trinity. Chris has written titles for various publishers including supplementary vocabulary and reading resources. He has been writing with Garnet for nearly two years. He lives in Brighton with his wife, Gerry and daughter, Isobel.

I found this old Angela Lindvall editorial on Rackk and Ruin today and it pretty much sums up how I'd like the rest of my summer to be. I've done the flaming heat and cocktails part of summer, now I'm ready to go to a cottage in some wet, grassy, beach place and read a pile of books. Still want to go here – or here, thanks to Tory for the link.
It really reminds me of something from Nova, the first time around – not that I was around in the 70s, obvo. Even the flowers look like they're old – like plastic ones you get on tables in really ancient cafes that have never changed their decor. The only giveaway is the models body shapes, eh?

The phrase "fountains of the deep" (Gen. 7:11; 8:2) has been a major contributor to the global flood idea. Visions of great, oceanic, water-spewing volcanoes have been conjured up to rationalize this phrase, and to account for the massive amount of water needed for a universal deluge.
Genesis 7:10-12: "And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights."
Analyses of the flood layers at the excavated city sites found only those elements that could be expected from the waters of the Euphrates. No remains of any salt water creatures were present, which indicates none of the flooded cities were inundated by sea water.
Earlier, we examined the Septuagint version where the word "fountain" appears rather than "mist" in Genesis 2:6. We saw this refers to an irrigation system in all likelihood. Here "fountains of the deep" again points to irrigation. The Hebrew word for "deep" can mean the sea, it can refer to subterranean waters, or it can mean the depths of a river.
The fields were directly affected by the draught, not receiving the "flood" of water that normally flowed through the canals, dikes, and levies used for irrigation. In the parallel Gilgamesh account, Ninurta was the "lord of the wells and irrigation works." It was this same network of canals so essential in southern Mesopotamia that was decimated when the flood came and the "fountains of the deep" were "broken up." So, we now should know precisely what the phrase "fountains of the deep" means. The expression is defined by usage, and was employed by Semites before the Genesis narrative was recorded.

And Our New Name is...
After several go rounds and surveys and input from lots of different places, we have settled on:
Wildflower Alliance
What is the significance of wild flowers?: Since there beginning of RLC existence, our logo has been a boot with flowers. The boot is worn and torn, and meant to represent the bumps and bruises we experience on our path through life, while the flowers are meant to represent the beauty and growth that are born of that journey. It was created by Janice Sorensen who was a member of the original Guiding Council of Western Mass (formed a couple of years before the RLC was funded), and also worked as the RLC's County Coordinator in Franklin County (among other contributions). Recently, Janice reminded us that the daisies pictured in the boot are actually one of the most popular and well known wild flowers around. So, in some ways, this name represents coming into alignment with our visual representation (logo).
The significance goes beyond just that, though. Wild flowers are also often mistaken for something to be gotten rid of, as weeds. They are misunderstood, and sometimes their beauty is ignored or devalued. Yet, wild flowers are strong, and able to grow and flourish in a variety of places. Some wild flowers (like dandelions, for example), form tremendously strong underground networking systems with their roots, and represent survival even in the most challenging conditions.
Ultimately, for all these reasons, we see wild flowers as being much like ourselves: Sometimes our power, beauty, and wisdom gets overlooked or dismissed. Yet, we remain strong and resilient (able to bounce back from the bad things that happen to us), and through connection with others, we are able to build networks that can help us survive the most difficult storms. Our potential for growth is great, if given a chance.
Remind us again why you wanted to change your name?: Language is important; Moreso than many people give it credit for... and we've been sitting with that discomfort and trying to figure out what to do for some time now. Ultimately, there are several reasons changing our name has felt important. First, the word 'recovery' has felt hard to many in our community. For some, it has felt like a disconnect because there is nothing that they want to "recover" (or go back to). For others, it's been frustrating how often it's been confused with a support focused strictly on problems with substance use. And, for still others, "recovery" has felt like a box that is too small, and not a good fit. Meanwhile, many of us also grew tired of how often we were called the "Recovery Learning Center" which was not just a simple mistake in wording, but also felt like a misrepresentation of how important and intentional the language of "community" is to who we are and what we do. We also felt that "Western Mass" in the title was confusing, given that some of our work is now nationally and internationally focused, even if a great deal of it is still centered right here in the Western region of Massachusetts. For all these reasons and more, it felt time to make a change.
But, wont it be confusing to have a name that doesn't say what you are or do?: People who responded to our surveys about a name change were pretty evenly split. Some felt we should only have a name that used words that have meanings related to our work (e.g., "recovery", "healing", "support", "resilience"), while others said they liked the idea of something that was a little less obvious. Overall, we decided on something that didn't have an obvious meaning for several reasons.
First, in our experience, although words like "recovery" appear to have an obvious meaning, they actually mean different things to different people, and lead them to make assumptions. For some people, "recovery" is linked to emotional distress and well being. But, to many others, it's linked striclty to problems with substances. Many people also have differing ideas about whether recovery is a "life long" process or not, and so on. Ultimately, we regularly found that people misunderstood the RLC's purpose and focus based on that word that seemed so obvious to many people. We believe that Wildflower Alliance will leave space for the many different meanings and interpretations and experiences that our community actually represents.
Secondly, words that have meaning now are often quick to shift over the years. They become "buzz words" over used and misued by various people and groups. They fall out of favor, or becoming co-opted (used by people who twist the meaning to fit what they want it to fit, etc.). Choosing a name that has words with very specific meanings right now runs the risk of ending up with a name that stops feeling like a good fit a few years down the road. We believe that Wildflower Alliance is much less likely to suffer from becoming a "buzz word" or aging poorly.
Finally, we would also challenge everyone to look at business names around them. While some do have names that use words that very concretely represent what they do, many more groups, business, and organizations use words that require some exploration or explanation than you might realize. Take a look around your community, and notice how many names don't actually explain exactly what the organization or store offers (even some of the ones that seem like they do at first glance). The true understanding of what a community, group, or organization has to offer - including the Wildflower Alliance - comes through the connection process, and by word of mouth from people like you.
What will happen to the name "Western Mass recovery Learning Community" or "RLC"?: This change will be a process. At least for some period of time, you'll hear us using phrases like "Formerly known as the Western Mass RLC" or maybe even, "Home to the Western Mass RLC". (We're still working out some of those details.) So, it won't go away entirely. Not for quite some time, anyway!
What are the next steps in this process?: Now that we've announced our decision, we've got some work to do. Changing a name of an organization - and especially one that's been around for over a decade - takes some work! We'll be making lists of things that need to change, and what is involved with each. E-mails. Websites. Letterhead. The change will not be immediate, but we'll begin working on it in February, and hopefully have everything in place by the summer!

Why Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Needs To Return For GTA 6
4th Jun 2021 15:10
While Rockstar Games continues to sit pretty on the success of Grand Theft Auto 5, gaming fans know there's still plenty of fuel in the tank when it comes to the long-running GTA franchise.
Despite GTA 5 coming out all the way back in 2013, there's a lot to be said for the fact the game went on to become the highest-grossing entertainment product of all time (earning well over $6 billion). Couple this with an ongoing fanbase thanks to Grand Theft Auto Online, and it makes sense that Rockstar wants to squeeze every penny out of its golden goose. That being said, this hasn't stopped players demanding to know more about what's coming in the inevitable Grand Theft Auto 6.
Even though developers are yet to officially give GTA 6 the nod, the rumour mill has gone into overdrive every time a reported job ad or piece of concept art has made its way online. Some are obsessed with the idea of the series returning to London; however, an altogether more popular theory is a road trip to the fan-favourite Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
As arguably the most beloved locale in the series' history, a return to Vice City would be a surefire way to cash in on its fanbase. If you can already picture the neon-splashed backdrop of this Miami-inspired paradise and hear that pumping electro soundtrack, here's why Grand Theft Auto 6 should go back to Vice City.
What is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City?
Back in 2002, Rockstar didn't know it was onto a winner with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Driving the action to the awesome 80s, the story revolved around Tommy Vercetti after he was released from prison.
When Tommy is ambushed during a botched drug deal, he sets out for some sweet revenge while also trying to grow his criminal empire. With Vice City being a departure from the norm of GTA games, it became an overnight success and rounded off by selling over 17.5 million copies. Sweeping the awards boards, Vice City is not only held as one of the best games of the sixth generation, but also one of the greatest video games of all time.
Only recently, a potential GTA 6 map appeared online and stoked the fires that a Vice City sequel is on the way. Elsewhere, a Reddit post that pointed to a GTA Vice City (cool idea for a name, isn't it?) map was debunked as some clever photoshopping. Still, it hasn't completely discounted a resurrection of the sub-franchise from existence. Let's remember Take-Two Interactive has also registered domain names for "gtavicecityonline" and "gtavi.com". It could work that the blockbusting GTA Online gets its own sequel in the form of Vice City Online.
Returning to the idea of Vice City makes financial sense, but with such a legacy following the original, is Rockstar setting itself up for a fall? It's important to remember 2006's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories managed to continue the success of its predecessor as a prequel game AND debuted to largely positive reviews. The question remains on whether there's still enough of this Miami knock-off to explore. In short, the answer is yes!
What is the Project Americas theory?
A quick search of GTA 6 will send you down a rabbit hole of rumours and theories that are little more than fan fiction. One of the biggest "leaks" came from something known as the "Project Americas Theory". The (now-deleted) post was first shared on Reddit by u/JackOLantern1982, with their sources apparently being "two friends" who are close to the industry and someone else who is a mole inside the Rockstar ranks.
The fact it was deleted makes some people think it's the real deal, while others think this confirms it's fake. Either way, the idea of a game following in the footsteps of Netflix's Narcos is an interesting one. In the thread, the story reportedly takes place in Vice City and "a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro". The protagonist is an up-and-coming drug lord known as Ricardo, who is originally tasked with doing low-level drug runs before he climbs the slippery crime ladder.
As well as taking its cues from Narcos, there are also comparisons to Scarface: The World Is Yours, which seems like a nod to Tommy Vercetti being largely based on Tony Montana. Elsewhere, there's a mention of a revamped weather system using hurricanes and floods, as well as a Red Dead Redemption 2-inspired Chapter system that is also a hat-tip to Quentin Tarantino's beloved Pulp Fiction.
What's most interesting is the timeframe. Instead of taking the story to a modern setting, the Project Americas Theory refers to a possible two-decade span of "somewhere" in the 70s or 80s. For many, the idea of a Vice City sequel would be more appealing. Considering the first game was such an icon in its own right, wouldn't you like to visit in a new era and check out what's changed? Thanks to a note on Kent Paul's website, there are hints Tommy was still in action as late as 2002, so finding out what happened to him next in some capacity is a must. Added to this, seeing what Vice City looks like on next-gen consoles with the grunt of the PS5 and Xbox Series X behind it is a tempting offer.
Why we shouldn't go back to Vice City
Then again, there's an argument against a full-blown Vice City return. Since the first Grand Theft Auto arrived on the scene in 1997, we've largely split our time between Liberty City, Vice City, and Los Santos. What could work here is a melding of two worlds and another prevalent part of the Project Americas theory. Here, Vice City could be the starting point for the first mission/couple of missions, before heading off to the Rio-inspired city.
Let's also not discount the idea of heading further afield and back to blighty. We've previously visited London in 1999's Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and got a glimpse of the swinging 60s. Back in 2013, Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser teased another sightseeing tour of London when he told The Guardian, "I think for us, my gut feeling is, GTA London was cool for the time, but games were more limited then. These days I think we would love to set a game in the UK, set in London, whatever, but I don't know if it would be a GTA game".
So far, the GTA series has played it safe by sticking to the fictional counterparts of well-known cities that are big in the USA. It's a formula that has worked, but with other long-running action-adventure franchises like God of War, Resident Evil, and Assassin's Creed continuing to reinvent themselves, it could be time for GTA to do the same. London isn't the be-all and end-all, and with Europe offering other destinations like Paris, Madrid, and Rome, there's quite literally a whole world to explore. A return to Vice City would be like returning to a comfortable pair of slippers, but in the next war of next-gen, is comfortable really enough?
Earlier this year, there were suggestions March 25 was going to be a key date to mark in our gaming diaries with the potential reveal of GTA 6. Ultimately, that date came and went. Some cited the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as the reason behind the lack of news, but most likely, Rockstar had never planned to unveil its plans this early.
Whatever Rockstar is (or isn't) working on, don't expect to find out much soon. The developer is notoriously cagey with its projects, meaning we're out there in the abyss looking for even the tiniest breadcrumb of what's on the horizon. While more from the wild world of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is cropping up time and time again, it's imperative we don't get our hopes up just yet. Players are quite literally jumping the gun with this. Still, here's hoping we get to indulge our "vices" if Grand Theft Auto 6 brings back the mean streets of Vice City.

We are pleased to welcome readers to this special issue of Asian Perspectives that focuses on the archaeology of Myanma Pyay (Burma).1 Six papers present findings from archaeological research on different aspects of Burma's history and prehistory. They draw from recent field research, collections analysis, technical studies, and reports circulated within the country's boundaries. In addition, two of the leading archaeologists of mainland Southeast Asia, Professor Charles Higham and Professor Ian Glover, have graciously agreed to comment on these papers and to share their perspectives on the archaeology of Burma. The time has come for a reckoning of our knowledge of Burma's archaeology and to establish a foundation for the growing number of research projects that have been launched, and will begin in the near future. In these introductory comments, we first explain the origins of, and justification for, a special issue devoted to a single country's archaeology. We then tack between general concerns in the archaeology of Burma and issues that the following papers raise.
One afternoon in April 1999, asa group of us walked toward the anthropology department on the campus of the University of Hawai'i to hear Bob Hudson give a lecture on his doctoral research in Burma, we decided that the time was right to produce a special issue on Burma's archaeology. From a research perspective, Burma's location makes it a key player in cultural developments that occurred in mainland Southeast Asia (as well as in eastern India and southwestern China), and we discuss this point later in our introduction. From a topical perspective, Burma has begun to welcome foreign archaeologists to undertake work within its borders. Currently, Burmese archaeology forms the focus of postgraduate research for several students in Australia, the United States, and Singapore. In July 1998, several Burmese scholars attended the 16th Congress of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association conference in Melaka, Malaysia; they presented reports on a possible Bronze Age site in Burma to a standing-room only audience. In April 1999, one of us (MAT) organized a successful session on Burma called "Burma Studies: The Next Generation" for the annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies that included two reports on archaeological research in the country. [End Page 1]
One reason for this increased interest stems from Burma's academic leadership, which is genuinely interested in its archaeological heritage. In January 1999, Burmese archaeologists hosted a conference on prehistory that was inspired by excavations at a new Bronze Age site called Nyaung-gan (described in this issue by Moore and Pauk Pauk). The country has also recently opened up to tourism and certain fields of scholarship, including (and surprisingly) political science. A new national museum was constructed in the 1990s, which now displays prehistoric artifacts once stored in dusty boxes in an obscure archaeological department. Even the national archives have now been opened for research, boasting a digitized index of holdings, scanners and printers, and computers for those using the archives. A new manuscript archive was opened in the year 2000 with similar electronic equipment meant for public use. And, what had once been an onerous ordeal at the airport now had been largely alleviated by the use of FECs (Foreign Exchange Coupons) that give market rates for visitors' dollars, used as such or exchanged for kyats at market rates almost everywhere.
Thus it seemed to us on that spring afternoon that the time had come to publish work on the archaeology of Burma for both academic and infrastructural reasons. Yet, in 1999 one could also count the number of Burma prehistorians on one hand. For various reasons, most of them are out of touch with new techniques and methods and sorely in need of modern equipment and adequate funding. If our group, which was genuinely interested in disseminating information on Burma's prehistory...

Women's lacrosse rebounds with comeback win after close loss: goalie Quinn Lacy '21 shines with career-high 17 saves
By Natalie Mogul|March 15, 2019

The women's lacrosse team came up short against St. Joseph's University's this past Saturday in a 16-12 loss, flipping the script for a dramatic 13-12 win at Binghamton on Wednesday. The victory moves their record to 4-2 for the season, with Patriot League play beginning Saturday.
In the St. Joseph's game, the defense was anchored by sophomore goalie Quinn Lacy, who recorded a career-high 17 saves, the most saves by a women's lacrosse goalie in nearly nine years. Lacy faced a total of 45 shots from St. Joseph's players, while Lafayette attempted 25 shots in the game.
"Going in to the game we knew that they were a really good team so we were prepared for a high speed and intense game," Lacy said. "I think that a goal of the season is playing up to our own potential every game."
Despite the final result, the Leopards kept the score close and led 12-9 with just over 20 minutes left before St. Joseph's scored the final seven goals in the game.
"Preseason prepared us because we were definitely fit enough to hang with [St. Joseph's] who is a fast and athletic team," Lacy said. "[Freshman midfielder] Caroline Curnal, [senior midfielder] Hannah Davey and [sophomore attacker] Colleen Bannon did a great job on the draw circle to help us win draws."
Curnal and Davey aided the team offensively by winning eight draw controls each.
Four players recorded multi-goal performances, including a hat trick from senior attacker Jane Kirby.
"I think our strengths as a team include our seniority," Lacy said. "We have a lot of seniors who have a lot of experience on the field."
"[The [St. Joseph's game] was a good test to see where we are at as a team for the season and we know what changes we need to make and what we have to do in order to beat Binghamton," she added.
The Binghamton game was initially scheduled for March 6, but the matchup was postponed due to freezing temperatures, giving the teams more time to prepare.
The Leopards found themselves in the opposite position against the Bearcats, facing a 12-9 deficit with under 20 minutes left. Junior midfielder Bella Alampi and Curnal narrowed the deficit to just one goal with 13 minutes to go, but it wasn't until the last five minutes that senior attacker and midfielder Emma Novick notched the tying goal. Alampi's second goal of the night was the eventual game winner with just three minutes left.
Kirby tallied another hat trick in the victory, and Curnal's late goal earned her a hat trick as well. Freshman attacker Olivia Cunningham also scored two goals in the game.
The team takes on Holy Cross tomorrow at 1 p.m. in a home matchup to kick off conference play.

Her Parents - Charlotte Eliza Watson (nee Float) and Henry Watson arrived in South Australia in March 1839. The party consisted of Henry Watson's father William and mother Martha, wife Charlotte and two children - Charlotte Emily (2 years) and Louisa (6 months). He kept a diary of the journey. They brought with them a prefabricated house from Henry Manning's London company. They later built a brick facade and added a brick paved verandah. The house was situated on Pennington Terrace, North Adelaide and called Walkley Cottage. Henry Watson was a chemist and druggist at North Adelaide and also a Quaker. He came out to South Australia to join his brother in law John Barton Hack as a merchant and partner in the firm Hack, Watson and Company.

The South Australian Register of 18 June 1886 lists that Elders auctioned "Givendale Estate, near Balhannah, containing 385 acres, at £5 9s, per acre".
The new owner was an accountant who lived in Adelaide, John Sanderson Lloyd. He transferred ownership to his wife, Charlotte, and leased sections of the land to tenant farmers. In 1898 Lloyd divided the land, retaining the section with the stone home, some 84 acres on part section 93. In 1898 Frederick Petersen and his wife Bertha (formerly Schultz of Summertown) leased the land. This land was purchased in 1902 by Henry Trevenen and his wife, Eva's brother, William Pether. The remaining sections of the land were leased and eventually sold , after Charlotte Lloyd's death in 1905

Q: ASP.NET MVC web application unable to send email via SMTP on IIS server hosted by Arvixe I desperately need help solving this issue. How can I get my deployed app to send emails to any address via SMTP?
I am developing a web-based sales-tracking application in Visual Studio 2015 (ASP.NET MVC). The site will be hosted on an Arvixe BusinessClass for Windows shared server. The domain of the server is mydomain.com, however this domain is actually hosted by one.com, which also provides mydomain.com email.
One of the functions of the site is to inform the line manager when a user reports a sale. The line manager is to be informed via email. The email account I am trying to send from is provided by one.com.
Using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage and sending via SmtpClient, trhe following code works in my development environment (Windows 10 pro) but not deployed (deployed on Arvixe BusinessClass for Windows shared server environment):
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add("recipient@mydomain.com");
message.From = new MailAddress("sender@mydomain.com", "sender@mydomain.com");
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.Subject = "Subject";
message.Body = "Body
";
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.DeliveryFormat = SmtpDeliveryFormat.SevenBit;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Host = "send.one.com";
client.Port = 587;
client.UseSSL = true;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("sender@mydomain.com", "***");
client.Send(message);

On my Arvixe server I get the error:
    "Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed".

Using this code I have also tried ports 465 and 25, with SSL set to true and false, and also host "mailout.one.com", without success.
I gave up and tried using MailKit with the following code:
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage();
message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress("recipient@mydomain.com"));
message.From.Add(new MailboxAddress("sender@mydomain.com", "sender@mydomain.com"));
var bodyBuilder = new BodyBuilder();
bodyBuilder.HtmlBody = "htmlbody
";
bodyBuilder.TextBody = "textbody";
message.Body = bodyBuilder.ToMessageBody();
message.Subject = "Subject";

using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
    client.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (s, c, h, e) => true;
    client.Connect("send.one.com", 587, MailKit.Security.SecureSocketOptions.StartTls);
    client.Authenticate("sender@mydomain.com", "***");
    client.Send(message);
    client.Disconnect(true);
}

Again it works in my development environment, but not in production. Here I get the error:
    "The operation is not allowed on non-connected sockets".

Of note, both solutions work in deployed environment if I change the host to 127.0.0.1 and add an example@mydomain.com email account and connected user account in Arvixe, but only for external email addresses. Addresses ending in mydomain.com obviously get rerouted back to the server itself, as the server's domain is mydomain.com, but as the email provider is one.com and not the Arvixe server, the email doesn't get through.
Other things I have tried without success:
-Setting the SPF record for mydomain.com to include my server address, and my server IP address.
-Using an Office365 account on a different domain to send from (host "smtp.office365.com")
I desperately need help solving this issue. How can I get my deployed app to send emails to any address via SMTP?
Arvixe/One.com suggestions (from support tickets and live chat):

*

*SMTP Authentication must be used.

*The local mail server, or localhost must be used to send email via web script. (try xxx.win.arvixe.com, localhost, or 127.0.0.1 - port 25 or 26, or xxxsecuremail.win.arvixe.com - port 465 for secure mail)

*The FROM email address, and SMTP Authentication email address, must be a local user on the local server.

If you have your own remote email server and intend to send emails via web script to email addresses that are local to your domain, then that mail domain needs to be removed from the local server (we have to do this) and you will have to use an account from another domain local to the server to send mail from. Otherwise any email going to the local domain will be delivered locally and not to your remote server.
