Donald Tusk: from activist to Council president
The prime minister of Poland has qualities of toughness and humour that should serve him well as president of the European Council.
By Andrew Gardner
It took weeks to persuade Donald Tusk to become president of the European Council. But the post of prime minister of Poland had never looked like the height of Tusk's ambitions. In 2005, before becoming prime minister, Tusk sought – and failed – to become Poland's president. In 2010, speculation was rife that Tusk would make another bid for the presidency, and last autumn there was already talk in Warsaw that Tusk was eyeing a European job.
In 2010, Tusk explained his decision not to seek the presidency by referring to the need for economic stability; the price that Poland will pay for his decision to move to Brussels may very well be political instability. If so, Tusk will be blamed, not just because he left, but because of how he led the party he founded, Civic Platform (PO). He has, with quiet ruthlessness, removed most of the potential heavyweight challengers to his position from within his once-fractious party, Polish commentators say.
Tough he may be, but Tusk has many compensating attributes, including humour – a characteristic that he has sometimes used effectively to disarm the Kaczynski brothers, Jarosław and the late Lech, leaders of his deeply conservative rivals, the Law and Justice (PiS) party.
An active footballer well into his forties, Tusk is described as being better with people, politics and policies than with administration. Another much-noted feature is caution. In a profile of Tusk written in 2007 for European Voice, Krzysztof Bobinski suggested that this circumspection sprang from political insecurity. "Deep down, the PO and its leader carry the conviction that the natural support for its views is as low as it is for other liberal parties in Europe," Bobinski wrote.
Tusk's embrace of a once-minor form of liberal conservatism may have some roots in his distinctive background: the son of a carpenter and a nurse, Tusk is a member of a tiny Slav minority with its own dialect, the Kashubians. But what forged Tusk's liberalism was the communist period, during which Tusk threw himself into the dissident movement in his native Gdansk. While the Solidarnosc trade union was the lodestar for most Poles in the port city, Tusk, a history student, was most drawn to a group of young intellectuals.
Those years of activism caused some wear and tear in his marriage, his wife Małgorzata revealed last year in a memoir. But Tusk emerged with a well-developed philosophy that he summarised thus in 1988: "We want to transform Poland into a country where government will be determined by the will of the voters, but also a government whose powers will be limited by the law; into a country where the rights of the individual will come before the rights of institutions and where the right of property will guarantee freedom – for private property is essential [if] freedom is to be secured."
In the 1990s, Tusk's political prominence grew – as a deputy party leader and deputy speaker of the Senate – but his success dates from his decision, in 2001, to set up Civic Platform. In 2005, he initially looked odds-on to become president, only to be defeated by Lech Kaczynski. He finally secured pre-eminence in parliamentary elections in 2007, beginning seven years as Poland's longest-serving prime minister. His success was built on economics, and his economic management was founded on caution. When crisis engulfed Europe in 2008-09, the stimulus that Poland relied on – and used much more effectively than many other new member states – was EU regional funding.
But while economics may have dominated his premiership, Tusk has pursued a foreign policy of outreach. First, foremost and most successful was his decision to strengthen ties with Germany and establish a bond with Chancellor Angela Merkel. "I thought to myself: she's the granddaughter of a high-school principal in Gdansk and I'm the grandson of a railroad worker from Gdan΄sk – so before the war, they were neighbours," Tusk said last year. (During the Second World Was, his grandfather spent time in a concentration camp, was forced into the Wehrmacht and then escaped to fight with the Polish resistance.) Tusk could have added that he and Merkel spent the first halves of their lives under communist rule, and that he too speaks German.
Poland jointly led efforts to persuade the EU to reach out to its eastern neighbours: Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. But Tusk also reached out to Russia's president, Vladimir Putin. Until the crisis in Ukraine, Tusk could point to marginal advances – the reversal of a Russian ban on Polish pigmeat, the re-opening of shipping between Elblag and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, an invitation to Putin to attend commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the Second World War – and a seemingly important, albeit wary, normalisation of relations.
Tusk, who led a Warsaw-dominated presidency of the EU's Council of Ministers in 2011, may find that some of the consuming themes of his premiership of Poland will dominate his presidency of the European Council. There is, of course, the crisis with Russia. He may also again have to face a challenge from nationalist conservatives: Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a hero – until the Russia crisis – to many in the PiS, may pose the EU some of its most vexing intra-political questions in the coming years.
Tusk will again need to find a way to couple the desire – or need – to exercise fiscal restraint with marshalling the resources of the EU to encourage economic growth. Once more, the strength of his relationship with Merkel will be crucial. Tusk – and other European leaders – will be hoping that he will find a way to translate his record of success on these fronts onto the European stage.

Siya Khumalo does something else. His journey of growing up in a Durban township and being gay is narrated in the most perfectly painful way. As he searches for truth in a newly democratic South Africa, Siya's story is filled with uncompromising and uncomfortable realities that many have never experienced. It's a narrative we shouldn't ignore and Siya's brutally honest writing knocks at our conscience. There is no negotiation in this story.

Longtime friend of Lynchpin, Canadian artist Eveline Kolijn, presents new work.
Artist Talks: February 10th 7 – 8pmAllyson Glenn and Eveline Kolijn are two practising Canadian artists who attended the Vorres Museum located in Paiania, Greece. Each year a Canadian artist is invited to participate in the residency program to gain an in-depth knowledge of the folklore and contemporary Greek art. During their residency, both artists engaged with the permanent collection of the museum, and immersed themselves in the creative art processes.
With an established practice in Calgary, Eveline Kolijn's work ranges from printmaking to installation. Influenced by abstract microscopic imagery of cells, natural patterns, and fossils, Kolijn's work investigate the interrelation of the earth's ecosystem and human culture. Concurrently, Allyson Glenn's area of research surrounds the notions of cultural identity, history, social conflicts, and man's relationship to the environment.
The Voyage to the Vorres Museum, Athena, incites a sense of meditation about ecology, anthropology and geopolitics, art and architecture. The exhibition creates an active dialogue between Canadian and Greek cultural signifiers and physical inhabitability of land given the current geopolitical climate. The material form provides a direct reference to the social and economic history of both Canada and Greece. The two Canadian artists Eveline Kolijn and Allyson Glenn developed series of works that exhibit historical and contemporary art in Greece and their contradictory complexities inherent to each environment, society, and culture.

Q: Why study simplicial homotopy groups? The standard definition for simplicial homotopy groups only works for Kan complexes (cf. http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/simplicial+homotopy+group). I learned that the hard way, when I tried to compute a very simple example, i.e. the homotopy group of the boundary of the standard 2-simplex.
My naive idea to actually compute simplicial homotopy groups for arbitrary simplicial sets was taking the fibrant replacement. But obviously we need a model structure for that. Then again, a weak equivalence in the usual model structure for simplicial sets is precisely a weak equivalence of the geometric realization.(cf. http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/model+structure+on+simplicial+sets)
As I understand it so far, the only satisfactory way to talk about simplicial homotopy groups requires the notion of "classical" homotopy groups. Hence my question: why does it still make sense, to actually talk about simplicial homotopy groups in the first place?

A: Well, both in the book of Peter May and the paper from Curtis it is proved that the homotopy category of the category of Kan simplicial sets is equivalent to the homotopy category of CW complexes. The equivalence is given by the adjoint functors "geometric realisation" and "total singular simplicial set". This is one of many motivations to study simplicial sets as a very suitable "discrete model" for topological spaces. One very nice thing about simplicial sets is how constructive things are (often :) ). As far as I have read, simplicial sets have been first used for constructing classifying spaces for topological groups.
The fact that we can define the homotopy groups within the category of Kan simplicial sets is great, because this gives us the opportunity to study them using some combinatorial tools as well. You can check this paper
http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.3093
Here the authors develop a polynomial time algorithm, which computes homotopy groups of simply connected simplicial complexes. For example, starting with a finite simplicial complex model of the 2-sphere, we can introduce an ordering of the vertices and generate a simplicial set. This simplicial set will never be Kan, but using Postnikov towers and a suitable model for Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, one can build up Kan simplicial sets, which approximate it homotopically and use the Postnikov stages for the computations. The result is beautiful and very constructive.
I hope this gives some motivation for the study of simplicial homotopy groups.

A: To compute the homotopy groups of a simplicial set $X$, you need to be able to construct a weak equivalence $X \to Y$ where $Y$ is a Kan complex, and then compute the homotopy groups of $Y$ using the definitions you were discussing.
This might seem circular - you need to detect if $X \to Y$ is an equivalence.  However, you can construct $Y$ directly using certain more elementary equivalences.  Specifically, for a map of a horn $\Lambda \to X$ we can form the pushout of the diagram $\Delta \leftarrow \Lambda \rightarrow X$, called $X'$; on geometric realizations this is homotopy equivalent because you can construct an explicit retraction.  The class of maps $X \to Y$ generated by such pushouts is called the family of anodyne extensions of $X$, and you can always construct an anodyne extension which is a Kan complex by the small object argument (you keep gluing in solutions to every possible horn-filling problem).
If you want a more canonical answer, there is also Kan's $\operatorname{Ex}^\infty$ construction.
If you want another reference, there are Kan's older papers, and my recollection is that Joyal and Tierney has quite a number of details as well.

A: If $X$ is a simplicial set which is not Kan, you can compute the homotopy groups
of $X$ by choosing a weak homotopy equivalence $f: X \rightarrow Y$ where $Y$ is Kan and
then applying the construction you are familiar with to $Y$. There are many ways of characterizing the relationship between $X$ and $Y$ without even mentioning topology or model categories (though I'm not sure it is so helpful to avoid these). For example, you can
take any map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ with the following property: for every Kan complex $Z$,
composition with $f$ induces a bijection from $[Y,Z]$ to $[X,Z]$, where $[K,Z]$ denotes the set of maps from $K$ into $Z$ up to (simplicial) homotopy. There are several purely combinatorial constructions of $Y$ from $X$: for example, Kan's $\operatorname{Ex}^{\infty}$ functor.

A: So this entire discussion is in Goerss and Jardine's "Simplicial homotopy theory" and also in May's "Simplicial objects in algebraic topology". Also Curtis' papers and monographs are very nice and classical. One aesthetic reason that one may want simplicial homotopy groups is to show that we can calculate homotopy groups within the category of simplicial sets. Thus one sets up this machinery. I think that Milnor proved the comparison between simplicial and let's say topological (even though this is not quite accurate, I think something like CGHaus homotopy groups) groups.
Here is how you speak about homotopy groups in the context of simplicial sets: First you need the notion of a horn. A horn is the boundary of an n-simplex with a lost face. Now you must remember that simplicial sets have arrows on their edges, so we have a couple of different horns in each dimension. In dimension 2 for example, we have three different horns (and will need all three of these horns for our to define the fundamental group, in addition to a three dimensional horn to give associativity). So we now define a Kan complex as a simplicial set in which each horn may be filled out to any n-simplex that it is contained in (this is written as a lifting property).
So we will use this to define the fundamental groups, as the higher homotopy groups are analogous. Pick a basepoint, and two loops based at that point (if we do not want to talk about basepoints this discussion works for fundamental groupoids). This can be realized as a map of a two horn into the simplicial set. Now pick a horn filling (it doesn't matter which, they all differ by homotopy equivalence, namely an even higher horn fills this choice of two horns. This is similar to higher category theory.). The group operation of the two loops is the new loop created on the boundary of the two simplex. Considering the other two horn fillings will give left and right inverses in the group, which must be shown to be homotopy equivalent (by more horn fillings)
All the properties that you would expect of such composite can be shown to be true by more (generalized) horn fillings. These are called anodyne extensions. It turns out if you can fill all of your horns, you can fill all of your anodynes. This will show that composition is independent of choice of representatives.

Imagine having the ability to buy anything you want from anywhere in the world and at any time. Imagine being able to sell anything to anyone around the world. Does this sound like a utopian dream?
Maybe not but perhaps you have heard of cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrency is a money exchange system that operates online.
Take paper money, for instance. Why does it have value? The US Dollar used to have real value when it was on the gold standard, but that's no longer the case. If there is no trace of gold in the money and it's just a piece of paper, what gives it value?
The fact that we believe it has value is what gives it value. That's the same concept that applies when it comes to cryptocurrencies. The fact that millions of people around the world believe it has value gives it value.And there is no better example than OneCoin, the cryptocurrency that will demolish all borders for you and connect you with the rest of the world.
OneCoin is like Bitcoin: a virtual cryptocoin which operates using cryptocurrencies. It has a private blockchain (a distributed database that maintains a list recording the transactions that occur in the network).The CEO of the company is Dr. Ruja Ignatova, he has stewarded the company to its current global leadership in the cryptocurrency industry.
If the concept of cryptocurrencies seems risky, think about your bank balance. Let's say you have a million dollars in your bank account. Does the bank have a million lying around somewhere?
Of course not. It's nothing more than numbers on a screen which demonstrate that the bank has your money. The same concept applies to cryptocoins like OneCoin. If anything, your money is just as safe, thanks to the strong cryptography that companies like OneCoin invest in.
It's also quicker to access your cryptocoin money than the money in the bank. Plus, cryptocurrencies are borderless.
By clicking a button, you can complete a transaction within minutes. And don't think that it will take longer to send crypto coins to someone in Australia or Russia than to your next-door neighbor.
It will be just as quick. You see, cryptocurrency companies invest in a global network of computers. So transacting with a person who is literally on the other side of the planet will be as fast as doing the same with an individual who lives down the block.
But since Bitcoin, several new players have joined the industry. Consumers are spoiled for choice.
The best option is OneCoin. The company has proven itself and is set to go public in 2018.
Many of us believe that the world has become a global village. But nothing proves this notion more than the quick transactions that OneCoin enables you to make.
For truly borderless transactions, choose OneCoin. The company has dedicated itself to this purpose: to connect you to anyone anywhere on earth at any time. And it's all at a click of a mouse away while being 100% secure. It is straightforward and quick.

Australia Continues to Support Lao Students
The Australian government is continuing its support for local students to further their education by studying at the National University of Laos (NUOL) this year.
The support comes from the Laos Australia National Scholarships (LANS) Programme, focusing on helping poor students around the country.
This year, about 52 scholarship awardees will join over 280 other students currently pursuing undergraduate degrees. Another 20 scholarships were presented to students from northern Laos last month, who will complete their LANS degrees at Souphanouvong University in Luang Prabang province.
Australia's Ambassador to Laos, Mr John Williams, speaking yesterday before the LANS congratulations ceremony, said the programme sought to provide a chance for high-performing high school leavers from regional Laos to complete quality university degrees.
He said the LANS programme, currently in its sixth year, covered not only tuition costs and living expenses, but a separate Academic Support Programme to build study and life skills, including intensive English language training.
Through LANS, Australia is delighted to be able to help young, talented Lao men and women from a number of provinces to gain the knowledge, skills and qualifications they need to build rewarding and productive careers, he said.
The 52 new scholars, including 26 women, were selected from hundreds of school leavers entering the National University this year. They are keen to pursue careers in science, education, law, business, agriculture and the environment – all areas vital for the economic development of Laos, he added.
It's hoped in the future LANS graduates will be able to compete and win selection for Australia Awards and other quality international scholarships programmes to complete higher degrees overseas and build even stronger skills to support Laos' development.
Vice President of National University of Laos, Ms Somchanh Bounphanmy, said every year, Australia offered scholarships to students from remote districts for tertiary study at the NUOL and Souphanouvong University.
LANS covers tuition fees, a monthly stipend, home travel, extra tuition and other university costs. She said young people's education was about personal development, improving social skills and opening up minds to new horizons and possibilities while determining the path they will eventually take in their professional lives.
It's also about determining where you will make your mark in life. How you can rise to the personal challenges you set yourself. And how you can contribute something back to the Lao PDR and its socio-economic development, not least in your home districts or provinces, she added.

CARBON FOOTPRINT AND ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS:
Carbon dioxide emission continue to increase worldwide year after year. Aceros Inoxidables Olarra is not divorced from that fact and it strives and invests to develop and use advanced resources capable of significantly improving energy efficiency and, therefore, reducing the emissions into the atmosphere. Furthermore, it is constantly working to cut the levels of gas and electricity consumed, which are direct and indirect emission sources, respectively.
Monitoring those polluting emissions into the atmosphere is also highly important to reduce environmental impacts and also to comply with current legislation. In this regard, all emissions are regularly measured in accordance with current legislation.
All the facilities have advanced filtering, neutralisation and/or physical-chemical treatment systems in order to reduce emission levels. Proof of this is that all the pollutants analysed are below the levels set by environmental legislation.
Direct and indirect energy consumption accounts for the majority of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Aware of the role that Aceros Inoxidables Olarra can assume in the fight to reduce global GHG emissions and based on the increasingly greater attention that the stakeholders are paying to this theme, Aceros Inoxidables Olarra, S.A. has embarked on a path to monitor and manage its carbon footprint. By using our own emission calculation tool, developed based on PAS 2050:2011 Standard of the British Standards Institution (BSI).

Greig Laidlaw appeared to criticise referee Romain Poite when he was interviewed on the pitch after Scotland's 22-13 Six Nations defeat by Ireland at BT Murrayfield.
Scrum-half Laidlaw was referring to the November Test against the Springboks, which Scotland lost 26-20, and also pointed to a specific decision he didn't agree with in the Ireland fixture.
While Laidlaw went on to say he didn't blame Frenchman Poite for the defeat by Ireland, saying that the team had to look at themselves, it is unusual for players to be so outspoken in terms of officials.
The words came after Ireland had scored three tries to Scotland's one in this match.
Ireland led only 12-10 at half-time but extended their lead in the second half with a Keith Earls try and Scotland's errors meant they couldn't work their way back into the match.
These two sides meet again on the opening weekend of this year's World Cup – and Ireland look to hold the advantage right now having beaten their pool rivals at home.
And Ireland secured that victory without fly-half Johnny Sexton for much of the game. The World Player of the Year left the pitch in the 24th minute after taking several big tackles – one particularly powerful hit coming from Allan Dell as he set up Jacob Stockdale for a try – and didn't return after failing an HIA.

Joey Carbery came on and ran the game well, releasing Rob Kearney in the wide channels on several occasions and providing the try-scoring pass for Earls.
Scotland play France next while Ireland head to Italy.

Will Pixar's 'Inside Out' Bring New Focus on Conveying What's Inside of a Character's Mind?
When Pixar first announced they were going to do a movie about what might be going on inside the human mind, most of us probably thought it meant the animation company going abstract for the first time in one of their stories. The idea of conveying what's going on inside a human brain has been mostly elusive in films, especially in ones designed for families. But we should have known that it would have been impossible to tell a complete story with nothing but abstract shapes. While it may look that way in real life if we could live inside a brain, it was inevitable a little bit of human elements had to be seen there.
Hollywood has always realized this when conveying a world on the inside of a human being or technology. The movie "Tron" was one of the first movies to go within, except inside a computer. Even there, the figures interacting in the computer's universe had human faces. Pixar's brain movie "Inside Out" will now do the same, with perhaps a little abstraction thrown in to differentiate the world of the brain from the outside world.
Yes, the main characters still have abstract body shapes to represent certain emotions. To some, that might give more adult connotations of Woody Allen's early 1970s film "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)." In said film, we had to be tortured into seeing sperm cells as people being ordered to take action from an even more human-looking command center in the human brain. It might have been the first look at the inside of a human body in an overly satiric way.
Regardless, plenty of serious novels that spent considerable time in a character's mind have had to be chucked as movie adaptations because of the difficulty in conveying someone's internal thoughts. A classic such as "Ulysses", for example, has far too many thoughts inwardly (and too many banalities in the outside world) to make much sense as a film. The same goes with far too many other novels, even if some movies have managed to work around it all with narration in the background surrounding invented action on screen.
Now that Pixar's "Inside Out" will convey emotions for the first time on screen, will it finally convince Hollywood to try more experimental movies where they try to show more of what's going on in the human mind? While "Inside Out" might get a little Freudian in a funny way, how serious can movies get when figuring out how we tick?
Movies About the Brain and Mental Illness
We might find out more than we ever knew about a teenager's mind in "Inside Out" thanks to depicting how individual emotions almost work in concert with one another. With Fear, Anger, Joy, Disgust, and Sadness as the main characters, we see a lot of the same emotion you might see in a mentally ill person who doesn't get as much attention. Would a film be able to look inside the brain of a mentally troubled person and see why it leads to the actions they take? While it might be impossible to be completely serious when showing key figures inside the brain, showing them interact with the person they inhabit would be even more interesting. If sounding like an overly experimental indie movie, it doesn't necessarily have to be with clever writing and situations.
No matter if a film about mental illness also has to have a little comedy with the drama, the insights it would give to understanding motivations and disruptions in the brain could enlighten everyone. With mental illness in the news whenever there's another incident of mass gun violence, looking directly into the brain is the only way to process exactly what they're thinking.
It also doesn't matter if the movies have to put a human face on the cells and abstract emotions floating around in our cerebral regions. Perhaps they act more human in their basic behavior in there than brain scientists even know. If cells look abstract in shape, actually residing in the human brain could very well resemble a busy metropolis where motivations and intentions are full of chaotic intelligence around you.

This holy priest guide has been updated for Patch 8.1 and is updated as new information is discovered.
I am Redfox, one of the many Staff members of WarcraftPriests.com. I've played on and off since Cataclysm, raiding seriously since Legion. This guide will introduce you to the spec and discuss the various aspects of the Holy Priest toolkit. If you have any feedback, discussion, or questions, stop by our discord, anyone on the holy team will be able to help.
Holy priest is a classic healing spec among MMO archetypes, party members take damage and it is healed with a relatively simple toolkit. While simple, the toolkit is flexible and can be adapted to nearly any situation within an encounter at the drop of a hat. The specialization is easy to learn, spell interactions are limited, and every spell has a clear purpose. The areas a player may find troublesome with Holy are movement (limited instant cast spells), survivability (Desperate Prayer is the only personal defensive), and no damage reduction in relevant content (Focused will only procs from melee attacks).
For an in-depth list of changes, see Wowhead's write-up.
Spec aura increased from 36% to 40% extra healing.
Binding Heal reduced from 75% SP to 67% SP, mana cost increased to 2.9%.
Holy Word: Salvation base healing reduced from 150% to 110%.
Renew healing increased from 20% to 23% SP.
Benediction's proc rate reduced from 30% to 25%.
Halo reduced from 110% to 103% SP.
Heal increased from 160% to 175% SP.
Trail of Light reduced from 40% replicated heal to 35%, now works for Heal.
Twist Magic reduced by 75% SP, now affected by the spec aura (healing increased by 40%).
Promise of Deliverance: After casting Holy Word: Serenity, Heal and Flash Heal heal for an additional amount and increase the cooldown of Holy Word: Serenity by an additional 1 second.
Death Denied: Leap of Faith provides the target with an absorb for the next 10 seconds, while this holds Leap of Faith cools down 200% faster.
Heal – An inexpensive single target heal, with a long cast time.
Flash Heal – Faster version of Heal, costs more mana and does not heal as much. For emergency single target healing.
Renew – Instant cast Heal over Time (HoT) spell. Relatively expensive for the amount it heals. Usually not worth casting.
Prayer of Healing – Slow cast, AoE spell that heals 5 allies around your target. Considered our mana-dump.
Prayer of Mending – Fast cast buff that applies 5 charges to a friendly target. When the target takes damage, the buff will then heal them, and bounce to a new target.
Holy Word: Serenity – Very strong instant single target heal with a 60-second cooldown before Holy Words.
Holy Word: Sanctify – Very strong instant AoE targeted ground heal for 6 players. Has a 60-second cooldown before Holy Words and Renew casts.
Smite – No mana cost, damaging filler when little to no healing is required.
Holy Fire – Instant cast damaging ability. Leaves a DoT on the target which does the majority of its damage and can stacks up to two times.
Holy Word: Chastise – Strong single target, instant cast, damaging ability. Incapacitates the target for 4 seconds.
Guardian Spirit – Places a buff on your target that lasts 10 seconds that increases the healing the target receives by 60% during the duration of the buff. Guardian Spirit will also prevent the target from dying to a fatal hit, (up to 200% maximum hp in overkill) instantly consuming the buff and reviving the target back to 40% of their maximum health consuming the buff in the process.
Divine Hymn – Major healing cooldown. Heals all party and raid members within 40 yards for a large amount over 8 seconds. After the initial tick hits, all affected players will receive a buff, increasing the healing they take by 10% for 8 seconds. Each tick of Divine Hymn re-applies the buff.
Desperate Prayer – Instantly heals the priest for 25% of their maximum hp, then applies a buff that increases the priest's maximum health by 25% for 10 seconds.
Symbol of Hope – Mana recovery cooldown, restoring 2% of missing mana every second for up to 6 seconds while channeled.
Spirit of Redemption – Upon death, the priest will enter a spirit form in which they are immune to all damage, and may cast all healing spells free of mana for 15 seconds. After which they die.
Mass Dispel – Large targeted ground AoE that purges one magical effect from five enemies and dispels all harmful magic effects from five friendly allies. Heavy mana cost. Can remove typically undispellable buffs like Iceblock and Divine Shield.
Power Word: Fortitude – increases the stamina of your target, party, or raid by 10% for one hour.
Leap of Faith – Grabs a friendly player in your raid or party and pulls them directly in front of you.
Purify – Single target dispel. Removes all magic and disease effects from your target.
Dispel Magic – Removes one beneficial magic effect from your enemy.


Safeco was originally founded back in 1923. The company started out in Seattle, WA, and slowly started to spread east from there. Safeco is actually an acronym for Selective Auto and Fire Ensurance Company. Although they were acquired by Liberty Mutual back in 2008, the company still operates under their original brand name as a subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Group.
The ratings for Safeco look pretty decent. They have a stable rating of "A" from AM Best, an average complaint ratio according to the NAIC, and their parent company, Liberty Mutual, has an A+ rating with the BBB. However it's worth noting that, despite a high rating with the BBB, 92% of the 243 reviews posted to the BBB website are negative.
Based on the estimated quotes in this chart, it seems as though Safeco charges different rates based on the same risk metrics that other automotive insurance companies do. Some of the higher rates are going to younger drivers, especially males, and lower quotes are reserved for older drivers who are less likely to get into accidents (and therefore file claims). So if your risk profile is fairly low, you might have the opportunity to save money.
As a subsidiary of Liberty Mutual, drivers can rest assured that they have the financial strength to pay out on any claims you may need to file. Their insurance rates are also competitively priced, especially for drivers who have a low risk profile. However, Safeco isn't available in all states; there are 5 states in the northeast where Safeco does not operate. All things considered, it probably isn't a bad idea to include a quote from Safeco when you start comparison-shopping for your next auto insurance policy.

Dime Community Bank announced the promotion of two executives last week.
Stuart H. Lubow, the former chief banking officer, has been promoted to president, and John Romano has been promoted to serve as Dime's executive vice president and chief retail officer.
Lubow, who has been a banking executive for more than 40 years, joined Dime in 2017 as a senior executive vice president and head of Business Banking. In addition, he served as an executive with Community National Bank, Community State Bank, Garden State Bank, Dollar Dry Dock Bank and People's Bank.
Romano also joined Dime in 2017 and has also had a lengthy career in community banking. He's worked as an executive at First Central Savings Bank, Amalgamated Bank, People's United Bank, Bank of Smithtown and Astoria Federal Savings.

"In the past three years and under John's direction, Business Banking has grown into a strong and critical part of the Bank," Lubow said of Romano's promotion. "With retail and business banking, along with operations, under the same leadership, I look forward to continued collaboration and growth in these areas in the future."
"Stu's promotion to president recognizes his outstanding leadership, customer-centric focus, enterprise-wide vision, and our Business Banking division's strong performance to-date," said Kenneth J. Mahon, the bank's CEO. "In a short span of time, under Stu's leadership, Dime has made significant strides to become a well-respected community commercial bank. The Business Banking division's strong loan and deposit growth has enabled us to increase our core net interest margin for six consecutive quarters, diversify our balance sheet and grow sources of non-interest income."

It is now possible to use dental X-rays to predict who is at risk of fractures, reveals a new study from researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy reported in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology.
In a previous study, researchers from the University of Gothenburg's Sahlgrenska Academy and Region Västra Götaland demonstrated that a sparse bone structure in the trabecular bone in the lower jaw is linked to a greater chance of having previously had fractures in other parts of the body.
X-rays investigates bone structure
The Gothenburg researchers have now taken this a step further with a new study that shows that it is possible to use dental X-rays to investigate the bone structure in the lower jaw, and so predict who is at greater risk of fractures in the future. Published in the journal Bone, the results were also mentioned in both Nature Reviews Endocrinology and the Wall Street Journal.
Linked to risk of fractures
"We've seen that sparse bone structure in the lower jaw in mid-life is directly linked to the risk of fractures in other parts of the body, later in life,"says Lauren Lissner, a researcher at the Institute of Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy.
Study started 1968
The study draws on data from the Prospective Population Study of Women in Gothenburg started in 1968. Given that this has now been running for over 40 years, the material is globally unique. The study included 731 women, who have been examined on several occasions since 1968, when they were 38-60 years old. X-ray images of their jaw bone were analysed in 1968 and 1980 and the results related to the incidence of subsequent fractures.
For the first 12 years fractures were self-reported during followup examinations. It is only since the 1980s that it has been possible to use medical registers to identify fractures. A total of 222 fractures were identified during the whole observation period.
One out of five in higher risk
The study shows that the bone structure of the jaw was sparse in around 20% of the women aged 38-54 when the first examination was carried out, and that these women were at significantly greater risk of fractures.
The study also shows that the older the person, the stronger the link between sparse bone structure in the jaw and fractures in other parts of the body.
Applies for both sexes
Although the study was carried out on women, the researchers believe that the link also applies for men.
"Dental X-rays contain lots of information on bone structure," says Grethe Jonasson, the researcher at the Research Centre of the Public Dental Service in Västra Götaland who initiated the fractures study. "By analysing these images, dentists can identify people who are at greater risk of fractures long before the first fracture occurs."

Chris Bryant MP: Why I am not leaving the Labour Party
You need a team to win a match, a crowd to move a mountain and a movement to change the political weather.
By Chris Bryant

I'd be lying if I said my phone has been ringing off the hook, but I've certainly had a fair few texts, emails and WhatsApp messages asking whether I'm joining the seven who left the Labour Party today.
Some of the more tedious ones have come with a nasty dollop of homophobic abuse in a barely-concealed attempt to force me out. I've enjoyed telling them, "Stop flirting!"
Others have come from friends who want this to be a moment of great political realignment because they feel politically homeless. They hope that the Brexit ruptures in the Conservative Party will lead to an even more profound recasting of the political landscape. They've been disappointed – in a couple of cases, angrily disappointed – when I've said I'm going nowhere.
But that's the truth. I joined the Labour Party in 1987 (well, I tried in December 1986, but Wycombe Labour Party said they'd run out of 1986 membership forms so I had to wait till the new year). I've been a councillor and an MP, I was an organiser for the party and I've raised money for the party under several leaders, including Jeremy.
I've also been infuriated by someone or other in the party nearly every month I've been a member. But this is my party. I am determined to be part of making it work better as the vehicle for people's hopes and aspirations and I will fight for it to tackle the great injustices of poverty, racism, inequality and prejudice.
Most of the messages have been from journalists, constituents and local party members asking where it is all going. And the truth is, I haven't the foggiest. It has to be said, I'm not a great political prognosticator at the best of times. I thought Cameron would win a majority in 2010, that David would beat his brother Ed, that Hilary would be president and Yvette would be leader. So I'm no Mystic Meg, and it's just as well I've never been a betting man.
But then, I'm not a commentator, I'm an MP. It's not my job to guess the future, but to try and frame it. I'm there to bend the arc of history, not describe it.
In the end politics is about three interlocking things: your fundamental values and beliefs; the way you articulate them and turn them into policies; and the alliances you build to deliver them. The thing is, that last bit about alliances matters just as much as your fundamental values. Unless politics is just about listening to the sound of your own voice or getting something of your chest, you have to work with others to get results. We achieve far more, as they say, by our common endeavour, than by going it alone.
Sometimes that means not just putting up with strange bedfellows for a while, but shacking up long-term with people you don't always agree with or even like. In order to get my new law protecting emergency workers through parliament I had to recruit Tory support, including from Philip Davies.
That's why I prefer big tents when it comes to politics. You need a team to win a match, a crowd to move a mountain and a movement to change the political weather.
But politics has become so vituperative of late that alliances, even the great alliances that have shaped our two main parties, have been fractured by distrust. Everything's a "betrayal", MPs and judges are "traitors", mild criticism is attacked as "open warfare" and social media are full of wild allegations, horrific personal abuse and endless misspelt threats.
Labour has a special role to play at this moment in our nation's history. We need to make a superhuman effort to be generous, warm and magnanimous, because it's only if we can widen our appeal, and strengthen our bonds to those outside our party, that we can ever hope to win votes in the Commons at this critical juncture, let alone win a general election. So I'm going to continue seeing Luciana, Chris, Chuka and the rest as allies.
Above all, I feel sad today. It's not just that we will miss the late Paul Flynn, possibly the most pro-European lefty in the party or in parliament, though we will. It's not just that it's never good to lose old comrades. It's just that I fear chaos on the left always plays into the hands of the right – and the far-right are just waiting to mount their takeover of the Conservatives.

Q: Hockey puck collision I have a homework question in which a sticky hockey puck traveling at constant velocity parallel to the side of the rink strikes a stationary puck and sticks to it.  The angels between centres at collision is 30 degrees.  I must find the angular velocity of the two pucks stuck together.
I first found the center of mass velocity by the principal of conservation of momentum to be $$\frac{v}{2\cos(\alpha)}$$ where alpha is the direction of travel of the two pucks together.  I am bogged down after this, partly because I am not sure if it is correct and partly because I am not sure of the most efficient method of calculating the angular velocy.  By the way both pucks have mass $p$ and radius $h$. As this is homework, I would like some help in understanding and figuring this out myself rather that a straight solution.
Thanks

A: The angular momentum of the system is the same before and after the collision. Since one object is stationary before the collision, the angular momentum is just the momentum ($mv$ of the moving puck multiplied by the perpendicular distance between them (which is $2r\sin(30)$).
The moment of inertia of the two pucks stuck together is a little bit tricky, but necessary to solve this. You need to use the parallel axis theorem - a disk rotating about its center has moment of inertia $\frac12mr^2$, and rotating about a point on the rim you need to add another $mr^2$. The total moment of inertia of the two is therefore
$$I=2(\frac12 mr^2 + mr^2) = 3 mr^2$$
Divide angular momentum by moment of inertia, and there's your solution.

A: A key idea is that the path of the center of mass is unaffected whether the two pucks collide or not. So take the snapshot of the situation at any moment of time before collision. Find the angular momenta of the two pucks with respect to the com at that instant of time. Since angular momentum is conserved for an isolated system (i.e $\tau_{net}=0$), the angular momentum of the system will be same when the pucks stick. Therefore, the new angular velocity will be that angular momentum divided by the new moment of inertia of the system about the center of mass (which can be calculated using parallel axis theorum).


The Day of Atonement, most commonly called Yom Kippur by the Jews (or the Fast in the New Testament), starts Wednesday, October 8th at sunset this year.
Do you know its Christian significance? Do you know that early Christians observed it?
Oddly, because most people associate the Day of Atonement exclusively with the Jews, they are much more likely to celebrate/participate in the pagan Druid holiday in October now called Halloween (see Is Halloween Holy Time for Christians? ) than observe a biblical Holy Day.
Do you know that the Bible indicates that one of the things that it pictures is the binding of Satan the dragon for 1000 years?
This can be determined essentially by looking at ceremonies associated with the Day of Atonement in the Hebrew Scriptures and noticing a prophetic parallel in the New Testament.
Although many Protestant commentators seem to misunderstand these passages in Leviticus concerning the Day of Atonement, they are correct that the SLAIN goat represents Jesus Christ.
The atonement is over after the first goat is sacrificed. The atonement is not part of the symbolism of the second goat. While many Protestant commentators either do not know what the Azazel goat represents or think it represents the physical life of Christ, the latter explanation would not seem to be consistent with the statements in Leviticus 16:26 (bolded above).
Because notice that it is a fit man that takes the goat into the wilderness and he has to wash himself after he has released the aza'zel goat. If the second goat represented Christ, the fit man would have to wash BEFORE touching the goat and not AFTER releasing it.
1) The term scapegoat is an inappropriate translation into English, as it implies that blame is being placed where blame is not due. The Hebrew term is actually aza'zel. This is a term that some Jewish people have historically ascribed to a Satanic adversary.
2) What happens with the Azazel goat and what happens to Satan is quite similar, if one compares Leviticus 16:20-22,26 to Revelation 20:1-3.
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished.
Notice that it is a fit man that places the Azazel goat which bares blame for sins into the wilderness, and an angel that places Satan, who brought sin into the world, into the wilderness of the bottomless pit. Contrary to the claims of those who do not take this portion of Revelation literally, this 1000 year binding of Satan has certainly not taken place since John was inspired to pen Revelation.
Satan the Dragon is bound for the entire 1000 years of the millennial reign of Christ. And that is just part of the significance of the Day of Atonement for Christians. A day that early Christians, like the Apostle Paul (cf. Acts 27:9), kept (the Fast was so widely observed in the 4th century that it was condemned by John Chrysostom (see Fall Holy Days Approach).
The Day of Atonement, unlike the world's false pagan holidays, does have much significance for Christians today.

Why use a vacuum truck?
It is a non-destructive way to dig! With the use of standard excavation techniques and traditional heavy excavation machinery, the risk of breaking underground facilities is enormous and it can lead to considerable cost for repairs to be made.
By using vacuum excavation units they can minimize this cost greatly, because of its ability to dig around the surfaces with minimal to no damage.
It is environmentally friendlier way to extract dirt as it is clean and precise and holds all the excess material in the tank of the truck.
We can locate and identify exact locations and depth of services underground safely minimizing the risk of disruptions to services and minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Removal of waste materials on sites and safely dumped elsewhere.

Lockdown Story – Kush Ravindra Modha
Teenagers – coping through the Lockdown.
A review of popular available online games by Kush Ravindra Modha from the Samaj Youth Club.
There is a misconception amongst elder family members that playing online games is a bad habit and a waste of time. Some say it defines a lazy, negative character. Well, think again…
At school, we are taught to use digital equipment on a daily basis safely and encouraged to explore our potential through some online games. In fact, gaming and Computer game developer/designer is a new career for talented, imaginative, creative individuals. I remember playing my first game. It was Minecraft on my Xbox 360. With parental support, I was soon to acquire my first Xbox. This liberated me. I was a shy boy but through playing these games, it increased my self-esteem and I learned to express myself better. It's not about sharing your secrets with anyone but an opportunity to channel your energy in playing the game.
During the lockdown, everyone's bored and scared. Lockdown is a new experience for children. Being in quarantine is different from the normal routine and the parents' anxiety often transfers to the children which is stressing. So what to do?
My advice is to invest your time in a creative activity. It could be art, exercise, craftwork, building projects or playing online video games.
Gaming – boosts your creativity, imagination, helps broaden your perspective and your awareness of the environment.
Most popular games are Fifa football and shooting games. Other games are for entertainment or provide stress relief during difficult times. Some of the games are based on Lore (folklore – myths and legends) and others are based on factual information from History.
There is a car racing game called Forza which allows you to explore different cities e.g. Colorado, Outback of Australia, Scotland, Nice (France) whilst driving. The graphics are taken from real places. You can be exploring the world from the comfort and safety of your own home and without a Driver's Licence!! This game has inspired me to go and visit the featured sites.
Kingdom Hearts (streamed) A story-based game using well known Disney + Pixar stories characters. It is suitable for Age group 7+ years for boys and girls. Follow a story and take action when prompted to do so. There is good soothing background music which I have added to my relaxation playlist to listen to sometimes as it is calming too. This game will appeal to children who enjoy watching Disney stories. The objective of the game is to help the good fight against the evil characters. It helps to teach the children to learn the difference between good and bad, heroes and demons and instils strong moral views in a person.
To check availability of these games, go to Microsoft Store or Playstation Store.
Also from www.cdkeys.com, Amazon, Game.co.uk, Argos etc.
I like the Assassin's Creed series. Suitable for teenagers with parental consent. These are 'Open World Games' where you can explore the world and different periods of time such as Colonial America, Egyptians, Greeks, Industrial Revolution England, etc. In secondary education, this is very useful. The aim of the game is to follow the story and then take part in the challenge/quest as one of the characters in the story. These games have taught me about World History from Ancient, past to present day; how I view the world and I interpret the History of the World. The graphics helped me to understand and visualise the buildings, geography, the terrain and lifestyle of the characters in that era. The artistry in the scenery is awe-inspiring and worthy of praise. It's an escape but educational as well. It's a break from the crisis we are experiencing and a way to explore a different world.
It helped me to understand History, Geography, Geology, Languages/terminology. Helps one to understand the famous historical figures often referenced in Schoolwork e.g. Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Socrates, Pythagoras, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Queen Victoria, Borgia family (Italy), Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Charles Darwin, Napoleon Bonaparte, Leonardo de Vinci, Florence Nightingale.
It helped me to understand the timeline of history, visualise the stories and what it was like to be living in that time zone as a lead character. It also helped me to break down a person's character and comprehend what they may be feeling and thinking. It helped me to analyse the strategies used in war and different points of view. The games also introduced new sports like archery, horse riding and martial arts.
You can see how the natives were treated during the colonisation of America.
How the slaves were treated during the times of Egypt & Pharaohs.
The effect of Wars between Athens and Sparta and between Greece & Persia.
The effect of the Industrial Revolution and the difference between the rich and the poor.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla (Coming soon) – The Norse (Vikings) and the invasion of England.
Cost from £1.49 online from www.cdkeys.com dependent on your equipment.
Also available from Amazon, Game, Microsoft Store, Playstation Store etc.
I hope you enjoy playing these games as well as I do and learn about the world at the same time. We're all in the same boat and we'll get through this together.
