At the end of last session, we left our heroes pondering their next move. They had crushed the derro and their carrion golem servant and now stood before an ancient secret door, apparently unopened for ages.
However, the party's resources were running low; in particular Grooble had run out of healing magic after the desperate battle against the derro. Thus, they decided to retreat and rest. This they did, retreating up several levels to the dilapidated storeroom that had so often hosted their overnight rests. Again, they were undisturbed and so the next day, they returned to the derros' lair. Of course, (predictably) a minor argument arose. Some of the party wanted to investigate the secret door immediately while others want to check out what lay behind some of the other doors.
Cautiously investigating, Narfu discovered that silence reigned behind most of the doors, except for one from which he heard a low sobbing. Predictably, the party—led by the heroic paladins—investigated and found a torture room of sorts. Tied to the table—and in a terrible state—was their old "friend" Fenster the Blight! Badly injured and still suffering the affects of several diseases he was in no state to accompany the party, but after some healing he professed himself able to barricade himself into the room until the party's return.
Now, the party's attention turned to the secret door. Narfu confirmed it hadn't been opened for ages and that it wasn't trapped. After some final preparations, the door was opened and the party advanced. Beyond, they discovered a small room shrouded in cobwebs and dust. In one corner lay the dessicated remains of a spider-like monstrosity of hideous proportions and visage. Kara identified this as a shriezyx and took the time to remind everyone of what she knew about the creatures.
The room's only other feature of note was a spiral staircase descending yet again into darkness. With no other option, the party began the descent. The staircase circled deeply down into the earth—perhaps over 200 ft. Eventually, the party emerged into a short hallway leading to a brightly painted room. At the far end—atop a high dais—lay the object of their quest: here lay the second shard!
Before they could claim it, however, they had to defeat its final guardians—two more very much alive shriezyx. Battle was joined!
As the party surged into the room, the shriezyx struck by hurling webs at Zainniss. The webs entangled him, but also slowed him considerably making it hard for the ranger—who sent much of the fight furiously hopping away from his foes—to help his friends. No matter, Narfu, Tristham and Aq charged into the room and began hacking at their foes. Narfu—remembering Kara's words—hurled alchemist's fire at the beasts and although this injured and scared the beasts it merely served to make him their number one target. Nok similarly tried fire magic and although he missed his target one of the creatures hurled itself at him.
Sadly, Kara stood in the way of its assault and the brave sorceress was cut down as one of the beasts made its way down the corridor to the wizard. By this point, Narfu was badly injured and Grooble was constantly using his healing magic to keep his friends alive. As the paladins hacked at their enemies so their enemies bit, slashed and tore into the party. In short order both Nok—who recently enlarged himself—and Grooble fell before their furious assault. However, by this time both shriezyx were badly injured. Within moments of one another both were dealt wounds that should have been mortal, but both continued fighting—somehow kept alive (perhaps by their implacable fury toward the PCs).
At this very moment, Zainnis finally extracted himself from the webs that had bound him for so long and threw off their magical slow effect. Now able to act freely, he swiftly shot both beasts dead.
Silence descended on the party. A tremendously amount of healing ensued and eventually the party were ready to claim their prize. First up the stairs was Kara who grabbed the shard and then immediately dropped it. Next was Zainniss who also dropped it after he felt suddenly ill. Eventually, Grooble picked it up and stuffed it in his pack.
With their quest at an end, the party retreated to Marner (picking up a very grateful Fenster on the way) and apprised Shel Heidmarch of their success.

'EU be prepared for...
'EU be prepared for post-Brexit influx of financial firms', says Lagarde
| 26 Jun 2018 11:30 PM GMT
Dublin, June 26: The EU should enhance its regulatory and supervisory capacities to cope with the possible influx of financial firms from London to continental Europe after Britain leaves the European Union, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde has said.
The International Monetary Fund made the remarks on Monday while delivering an opening speech at a two-day international conference held in Dublin to mark the upcoming 20th anniversary of euro, which was first introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on January 1, 1999, Xinhua reported.
She said that after Brexit, many financial firms are expected to relocate outside Britain if they lose their passporting rights, a right which allows a financial company authorized in one EU state to sell services and products in another.
"In the near term, it is critical to ensure that regulatory and supervisory capacities are prepared for the influx of financial firms that will move to continental Europe and Ireland as a result of Brexit," she said.
The IMF chief told the participants at the meeting, "We meet at a moment when the EU and euro area are in the midst of difficult decisions about their future. Populist movements, from Brexit to the recent Italian elections, have called into question of the value of European integration." She said that it has been a complicated journey full of difficult moments for the euro area over the last decades or so.
"At age 20, the euro area is more mature. Battle scarred, yes, but also stronger and ready to move forward," she said, adding that work was needed to enhance the euro area's resilience and secure its future.
"The euro area needs truly integrated financial and capital markets that allow companies to raise financing across borders more easily and support investment," she noted.
Lagarde also held a meeting with the Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar on Monday, during which she called Ireland to be prudent and plan for international economic shocks. She said that the current employment rate and growth of the Irish economy is remarkable compared with the time when she first visited Ireland in 2013. (IANS)

Though owning property can be lucrative, it can also come with some risks. If you're a landlord and want to make sure you protect your rights, a Richland Hills TX landlord lawyer at Girling Law is here to help.
Both renter and landlord must adhere to the terms and obligations outlined in the lease agreement. Texas law allows this lease agreement to be written or verbal. But it's important to remember that only a written lease can fully protect your rights and interests. Unfortunately, verbal agreements are often manipulated and misconstrued. In contrast, a well-written lease will clearly state every detail of the agreement, which makes it nearly impossible to distort.
When Can You Enter a Rented Property?
The state of Texas protects tenants privacy rights. This means that your rights to enter a rented property are very restricted. Furthermore, though no specific time frame for entry notice is outlined in the law, we recommend giving your tenants at least 24 hours' notice.
Never under any circumstances enter a rented property for any other reason that is not outlined in your lease agreement. Doing so will not only open yourself up to civil liability, but will also give your tenant grounds for early lease termination.
Under Texas law, you as the landlord can determine the requirements and amount for security deposits. You can also choose where to hold that money. However, remember that you are legally obligated to return that money within 30 days from the date your tenant moves out.
Always keep detailed records and notes for any funds you withhold from a tenant's security deposit. That includes taking videos or pictures of damages, as well as keeping any receipts for repairs or cleaning costs. If you do not keep such records and notes, your tenant can try to dispute your reasons for keeping their deposit.
Also, you should always return your tenant's security deposit on time (within 30 days). Otherwise, your tenant can sue you for up to three times the amount of the original deposit and for any attorney or court fees. If you're considering withholding funds from a tenant's deposit, but you're not sure if your situation allows it, speak with an experienced Richland Hills TX landlord lawyer today.
Your written lease agreement will state your responsibilities and duties for keeping up with property maintenance. If you refuse to make any necessary repairs, you allow your tenants to complete the repair themselves. Your tenant can then deduct repair costs from their rent. Often, disputes arise when tenants conduct property maintenance. If one of these disputes ever progresses to litigation, your Richland Hills TX landlord lawyer will help defend your rights.
If you're unsure whether you can evict a tenant or not, consult with a Richland Hills TX landlord lawyer beforehand.

Calling all Chanel lovers (and who isn't one, really?): The classic Parisian house (and closet staple of the style set) is sharing the inside deets on how its Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2017-2018 collection came together. In a teaser video (the full version can be seen here), the timeless yet always innovative brand hints at the painstaking craftsmanship that goes into each piece—dusting paint onto feathers and meticulously arranging them one by one onto fabric, trimming hems, adorning sleeves and drawing attention to necklines. It's clear each item is a work of art. Even more fascinating? The making of the couture Chanel jacket, which took an astonishing 130 hours to perfect—30 measurements, sculpting and resculpting 18 hand-stitched pieces, a signature chain secured to the bottom of the jacket to weight it just so, and other countless artisan touches that stay true not only to the allure of haute couture, but to Chanel itself. It's truly a sight to behold. Check out the process here. Now, who's off to fetch a jacket of their own?

Cadillac's Best-Seller Goes RX Hunting With New Ammunition
While standing in front of the newly updated 2012 Cadillac SRX, a fellow journalist asked Cadillac Communications Manager David Caldwell why the crossover wasn't based on a rear-wheel-drive chassis. The answer? "We already tried that," said Caldwell.
Those who pray to the gods of rear-wheel drive can go ahead and throw your hands in the air. Smack your forehead, toss down your napkin in disgust and walk away from the dinner table. The truth is simple: The masses like their upscale 'utes to be behave like their midsize luxury sedans. They want comfort and predictability when traipsing from the mall to school, on road trips and everything in between, albeit with a higher seating position, room for cargo out back and an air of stylish sophistication. But is that really a bad thing?
The proof is in the pudding, and today's pudding is flavored by sales figures. The previous-generation Cadillac SRX seemingly ticked all the boxes that set enthusiast's hearts aflutter – a well-engineered rear-wheel-drive chassis ( GM's Sigma platform) with optional all-wheel drive, a standard high-output 3.6-liter V6 engine or an optional 320-horsepower Northstar V8, and your choice of a five- or six-speed automatic gearbox wedged between.
The automotive pressed loved the first-gen SRX. It took home Car and Driver's Best Luxury SUV award in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and was a finalist for the North American Truck of the Year award in '04. And yet it never even came close to matching its major competitors where it truly counts – the sales floor.
And then came a new Cadillac SRX in 2010, and through the bespeckled eyes of auto journalists, everything seems backwards. A transversely mounted V6 engine displacing 3.0 liters sent 265 horses to the front wheels in its base configuration, and while all-wheel drive was still optional, the Theta Premium chassis was never intended for tail-wagging antics. There was an available 2.8-liter turbocharged V6, but it didn't make up for the missing V8, and it was canceled due to slow sales after a single year on the market.
Great wails were heard from Detroit to Los Angeles, but it wasn't the sound of exasperation some expected. Instead, we heard the unmistakable beat of high-fives at GM's Renaissance Center headquarters; the cymbals of cash registers ringing in Cadillac dealerships all over the country. In one fell swoop, the Cadillac of Crossovers vaulted itself from a languishing ninth spot in the luxury crossover segment all the way up to second. And as much as Cadillac would love to wrangle the gold medal from the Lexus RX, a solid silver signals a job well done.
It comes as little surprise, then, that Cadillac chose not to alter the formula much when it refreshed the SRX for the 2012 model year. To the casual observer, a 2012 model parked next to its predecessor doesn't impart any of the major changes found under the highly creased sheetmetal. So let's dig deeper.
First and foremost, there's a new standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that uses all the latest technology at GM's disposal to pump out a solid 308 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque on either regular-grade gasoline or E85. While that output is still well shy of the old Northstar V8, it's up 35 hp and 37 lb-ft over the old 3.0, and it leads its class in standard horsepower. Better yet, there's a wide and flat torque curve right in the meat of the powerband between 2,400 and 5,300 rpm, which is exactly what you want for a vehicle bound to move its passengers through the cut-and-thrust of daily traffic.
Although anyone familiar with GM's current lineup of vehicles knows the direct injected 3.6-liter engine sees duty in a slew of other cars and crossovers, the so-called LFX nestled behind the angular grille of the 2012 SRX has been reworked for this application. Cadillac's goal was to ditch 20 pounds off the basic 3.6 engine in order to match the weight of the discontinued 3.0, and the automaker took some unique approaches to achieve its goals.
Besides the composite (read: plastic) intake manifold – a switch that's becoming increasingly common these days – a higher grade alloy was used for the connecting rods. But the most interesting bit of engineering is the complete lack of exhaust manifolds. The engineers at Cadillac were able to route spent gases directly through the aluminum heads to a single collector feeding redesigned exhaust plumbing that eventually ends in dual chrome tips at the rear of the vehicle. General Motors tells us that it now holds a patent on this clever design.
Fuel mileage shouldn't suffer much for the 2012 SRX, despite the bump in engine displacement and power. The EPA rates the front-wheel-drive 2012 SRX model at 17 city and 24 highway, down one mile per gallon all the way around from 2011. Notably, though, the new SRX features an Eco Mode for the six-speed transmission that alters throttle response and shifts to a higher gear ratio whenever possible, and GM claims that Eco Mode will reclaim that missing mile per gallon. GM also asserts that its internal testing yielded generally higher fuel mileage figures from the 2012 SRX over its predecessor, mostly due to an engine that isn't as stressed moving the SRX's 4,277 pounds (4,442 with AWD).
Looking past the headline-grabbing new powerplant, we're happy to report that Cadillac's engineers have reworked the SRX's suspension. Up front are new bonded bushings, redesigned upper shock mounts and revalved struts. Holding up the rear is the same independent H-arm as before, but with new twin tube shocks that are upgraded with variable damping on models equipped with the Performance or Premium collection. Bundled with the active rear damping is a speed-sensitive steering system and 20-inch wheels.
Cadillac continues to offer the same Haldex-developed all-wheel-drive system and electronic limited slip differential as before, which is fine by us – the advanced computer-controlled tech can send as much torque to the front or rear wheels as it deems necessary and can also vary its delivery from side to side, depending on which wheels have the most traction.
After sampling models equipped in all possible configurations, our favorite setup was to pair the base FE2 suspension with all-wheel drive. The hydraulic power steering felt perfect to our hands in this application, even without the variable-effort, speed-sensitive technology that comes with the FE3 suspension group. We also preferred the ride and handling of models wearing 18-inch wheels over the 20-inch versions, and found little difference between the normal twin-tube rear shocks and the higher-spec units with variable damping.
In order to get the configuration we wanted with all-wheel drive and not miss out on the most opulent cabin possible, we'd opt for the Luxury Collection over the Base model. Buyers will be rewarded with an assortment of goodies, including a power liftgate, rain-sensing windshield wipers, keyless entry, an ambient lighting package and auto-dimming mirror, adjustable pedals, rear-view monitor, heated front seats and steering wheel, UltraView sunroof (which covers 70 percent of the roof with glass) and a cool cargo management system you can see in our Short Cut video below.
Also optional on the Luxury Collection (and standard on Performance and Premium) is a 10-speaker Bose 5.1 sound system with an internal 40-gigabyte hard drive. That package also includes navigation and an improved voice recognition system, and all models sport satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity and OnStar. GM left well enough alone with its Driver Information Center, which puts a high-resolution LCD front and center that can scroll through all manner of useful data including current and average fuel mileage, distance to empty and speed. The driver can also feed the turn-by-turn navigation commands to this cluster, something we found extremely helpful.
Pricing for the 2012 Cadillac SRX starts at $36,060 (including $875 for destination), but we doubt many buyers will opt for that Base configuration. Expect well-equipped models with the Luxury Collection plus navigation and all-wheel drive to empty the buyer's bank account of $45,480. A completely loaded SRX with the Premium Collection and rear-seat DVD entertainment package will retail for $53,540. Those prices, both on the low and high end, compare very favorably with the SRX's main competition, namely the Lexus RX350, Acura MDX, Audi Q5 and BMW X3. And it's not far off the smaller Acura RDX.
The 2012 Cadillac SRX has a lot going for it, from its price to its powertrain and its crisp, clean style. It may have lost some of the edginess of the first-gen model, but it's gained what matters most to car companies interested in making money: buyers willing to sign on the dotted line. The 2012 SRX delivers everything shoppers were so enamored with before, along with an extra dose of power and an improved ride, better handling and greater overall sophistication. Is it enough to unseat the Lexus RX? Probably not, but we have no doubt that the SRX will continue to be Cadillac's global bestseller for the foreseeable future.

A Horde of New 5th Edition Monsters—as Playable Pawns!
An excellent game aid and a must have if you buy the Tome of Beasts and Book of Lairs. Solid cardboard pawns and the same excellent art from the Tome of Beasts. Only two complaints: (1) The artwork of many of the pawns goes over the cut lines, so that weapons and other extremities get cut off. (2) It would be nice to have more specific recommendations on appropriate bases. As someone who has not purchased cardboard, stand-up pawns before, I really don't know what bases to buy to use with these.
I also have to say the quality of the cardboard is great – nice and sturdy. However the art on many extend outside the actual pawn so once taken out of the holding board, they lose some of that good art. Its also a bit of an issue that pan stands are Not Included and there are no pawn stands available here in the store. So what are we supposed to use? Right now this is a just a space hog for me.
You can use office binder clips (the black ones), or stands are widely available from seveal companies, including Fantasy Flight and Paizo. Links below.
Regarding some bits of art going off the edges of the pawns – this is not a flaw. It is simply the nature of producing printed pawns. You'll find that bits of art go out past the edges / get cut off on other pawn sets as well, including Paizo's many Pathfinder Bestiary pawn ets as well.
This issue is that the die-cut (the shape and size of the different pawn edges) are pre-dertermied at the press. The art has to fit within those pre-determined die-cut shapes. If a given piece of art has some element that goes off the edge (say, the very tip of a wing, or the end of a cloak) it's just the nature of the beast.
You could reduce the size of the art until every last bit of it fits within the die-cut but that actually causes a much worse problem – it alters the scale of the monster! Imagine having a size Large dragon for instance that looks more like a size Small dragon, becasue the art was reduced just so a wing tip isn't cut off.
Excellent quality pawns that go great with the Tome of Beasts.
The art of the cave dragon is different that in the Tome of Beasts but still looks good.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Q: Validate data from the same column in different rows with pyspark How can I change the value of a column depending on some validation between some cells? What I need is to compare the kilometraje values of each customer's (id) record to compare whether the record that follows the kilometraje is higher.
fecha      id   estado  id_cliente  error_code  kilometraje error_km
1/1/2019    1     A         1                       10
2/1/2019    2     A                    ERROR        20
3/1/2019    1     D         1          ERROR        30
4/1/2019    2     O                                          ERROR

The error in the error_km column is because for customer (id) 2 the kilometraje value is less than the same customer record for 2/1/2019 (If time passes the car is used so the kilometraje increases, so that there is no error the mileage has to be higher or the same)
I know that withColumn I can overwrite or create a column that doesn't exist and that using when I can set conditions. For example: This would be the code I use to validate the estado and id_cliente column and ERROR overwrite the error_code column where applicable, but I don't understand how to validate between different rows for the same client.
from pyspark.sql.functions import lit
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
from pyspark.sql.functions import col

file_path = 'archive.txt'

error = 'ERROR'

df = spark.read.parquet(file_path)
df = df.persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_AND_DISK)
df = df.select('estado', 'id_cliente')
df = df.withColumn("error_code", lit(''))

df = df.withColumn('error_code',
                            F.when((F.col('status') == 'O') &
                                    (F.col('client_id') != '') |
                                    (F.col('status') == 'D') &
                                    (F.col('client_id') != '') |
                                    (F.col('status') == 'A') &
                                    (F.col('client_id') == ''),
                                     F.concat(F.col("error_code"), F.lit(":[{}]".format(error)))
                                   )
                             .otherwise(F.col('error_code')))

A: You achieve that with the lag window function. The lag function returns you the row before the current row. With that you can easily compare the kilometraje values. Have a look at the code below:
import pyspark.sql.functions as F
from pyspark.sql import Window

l = [('1/1/2019' , 1      , 10),
('2/1/2019', 2     , 20  ),
('3/1/2019', 1      , 30  ),
('4/1/2019', 1      , 10  ),
('5/1/2019', 1      , 30  ),
('7/1/2019', 3      , 30  ),
('4/1/2019', 2      , 5)]

columns = ['fecha', 'id', 'kilometraje']

df=spark.createDataFrame(l, columns)
df = df.withColumn('fecha',F.to_date(df.fecha,  'dd/MM/yyyy'))

w = Window.partitionBy('id').orderBy('fecha')

df = df.withColumn('error_km', F.when(F.lag('kilometraje').over(w) > df.kilometraje, F.lit('ERROR') ).otherwise(F.lit('')))

df.show()

Output:
+----------+---+-----------+--------+
|     fecha| id|kilometraje|error_km|
+----------+---+-----------+--------+
|2019-01-01|  1|         10|        |

Ever thought about volunteering in a museum?
Posted on November 11, 2013 by worcestershireandmercian1
Volunteers and the Curator discussing drawings from the collection
The Mercian Regiment Museum, whose public galleries are inside the City Museum on Foregate Street, is seeking volunteers to help at the museum offices and store. The museum is the home of medals, weapons, uniforms, equipment and archives all of which tell the story of The Worcestershire Regiment since its formation in the late seventeenth century. If you are computer literate, help is needed to input data into the digital catalogue of the collection and also to research questions from the public who are seeking information about ancestors who served with the regiment. Naturally, training is available and research follows a set pattern for each enquiry.
This is a fundamental role for the museum as the boom in family history as a hobby in recent years has meant an increase in enquiries and the approaching centenary of The First World War is expected to result in many more people wanting to find out about those who 'took the King's shilling' in that conflict.
If you would like further information, please telephone the curator, John Paddock (01905 721982 Monday to Thursday).
No previous experience in museums is necessary, just a familiarity with basic computer skills and an interest in Worcestershire's historic heritage. If you are not at home with computers but think that volunteering in a museum would be fun, contact John as there other roles that need willing helpers.
The Battle of Gheluvelt October 31st 1914 "The Worcesters save the Empire"
Posted on November 5, 2013 by worcestershireandmercian1
The first shock of the German invasion came near to defeating the combined French and British Armies. The British Army stood to fight at Ypres. After ten days' hard fighting, the 2nd Battalion, 350 strong, was the only reserve for the Gheluvelt sector. The Battalion was then resting in Polygon Wood. The line at Gheluvelt, attacked by overwhelming numbers, gave way, and the enemy took the Chateau and village. The situation was very serious, and preparations for a general retirement were made; unless the gap was closed, the Army would be lost, so, more or less as a forlorn hope, the Battalion was ordered to counter-attack.
'A' Company advanced to a railway embankment overlooking the village, to prevent the enemy advancing up the Menin Road. Meanwhile, with lightened kit and extra ammunition, the rest of the Battalion made ready for the attack. The village was hidden by a ridge, and their aiming mark was the Chateau. As they advanced, signs of retreat were everywhere; they alone went forward.
The crest of the ridge was covered by the enemy guns, and could be crossed only by a quick rush. Though over a hundred fell to the storm of shelling which met their advance, the rest dashed down the slope, forced their way through the hedges and fences and into the Chateau grounds, where they closed with the Germans.
Surprised by the impetuous speed of the attack, the enemy, though far superior in numbers, gave way, and the attackers linked up with the remnants of the South Wales Borderers, who were still holding out.
As a result of the capture of Gheluvelt against terrific odds, and the consequent closing of the gap in the British line, Ypres was held and the Channel ports were saved. In his despatch describing this action of the 31st October, 1914, the Commander in Chief, Sir John French, said:-
"the rally of the 1st Division and the capture of the village of Gheluvelt at such a time was fraught with momentous consequences. If any one Unit can be singled out for special praise, it is the Worcestershires."
The casualties of the Worcestershire Regiment in carrying out this counter attack were 3 officers and 189 other ranks, or 50 percent. of their fighting strength on the day!

Five Things You Didn't know about The Thinker on "The Flash"
Aiden Mason 5 years ago
"The Thinker" is the latest villain on the CW show "The Flash." After three seasons of speedster villains, the show made a promise to fans that it would return on a bit of a lighter tone. This is the main reason behind the introduction of the Thinker. However, fans usually aren't just satisfied with knowing who the villain is, they want backstory, insight and more into what motivates this "bad guy" to do what he does. If you are one of these knowledge seekers, then you are in luck. Here you can learn five interesting facts about this thinking bad guy.
There have Been Four Different Versions of the Thinker
DC comics is known for many things. The one thing that the company takes a great deal of pride in is the legacy of characters they introduce. For example, Flash is a legendary character — a name that has been handed down to several characters through the years, from Wally West and Barry Allen to Jay Garrick.
The Thinker is yet another legacy character. There have been four versions of this villain in the comics, with each one having a unique way of being evil. While not all of the Thinkers have faced The Flash, several have.
The Real Identity of DeVoe
Many fans of The Flash found themselves trying to figure out just who Clifford DeVoe was as he was introduced as the villain. A genius inventor who used unique, self-made technology to create the "thinking cap," which his name was derived from. This is where his powers came from. However, what many fans came to find out is that DeVoe was actually a member of the Injustice Society. He is also considered to be one of the Flash's oldest enemies.
The New Thinker is a "Mash Up" of all the Old Versions
Microchips and telepathy are just a few of the super powers that are offered by the latest version of The thinker. This is a unique perspective on this foe that was first introduced in the comics decades ago. Fans will see that the version seen on television is one that takes something from each of the four previous versions to create a unique villain that is capable of giving the Flash a run for his money during the fourth season of the show.
The Ultimate Goal of the Thinker Remains Unknown
For the majority of the season, the fans of The Flash get to see the Thinker creating a whole new batch of metahumans. He does this using Team Flash, and even Barry. The true goal and objective he has stays a mystery but each episode reveals a bit more about what his ultimate goal is.
The Thinker is One of the Oldest Villains to Go Against the Flash
The Thinker and Flash first clashed in comic books back in the 1960s, which makes this one of the oldest villains going up against Flash in this entire series.

Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a highly viral disease transmitted by Varroa destructor. The disease is commonly found in colonies infested with mites. Deformed Wing Virus is regarded as deadly due to its ability to spread fast in any colony. It causes massive wing deformation in bees making it difficult for them to live normally. DWV which is regarded as a low-grade infectious disease is commonly triggered by mite infestations. It has a reputation for being massively destructive leading to the decimation of well-established colonies globally. The deformed wing virus is common in late summer and early fall. A high concentration of mites can be overwhelming for any bee colony.
DWV occurs when varroa mites which are external parasites feed on the hemolymph of both developing and mature bees after attacking them. Consequently; it reduces their lifespan drastically while spreading the deadly disease to the rest of the colony members. The Varroa mite can trigger the virus transmission from one infected bee to the entire colony within a very short span of time. Their vectored viruses are notorious at affecting honeybees immune systems hence leaving them exposed to risks of DWV. This wing deformity is a sign of a high viral load on the bees, and ultimately, bees need their wings to survive. Those with deformed wings cannot forage.

[ LETTERS ]
Open letter to Chen Chu
Dear Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu (陳菊),
As the producer (John Lewis) and director (Jeff Daniels) of The 10 Conditions of Love, we thank you sincerely for the courageous and principled decision of the Kaohsiung City Government to permit further screenings of our documentary at the Kaohsiung Film Festival (KFF), in addition to the screenings last week. As filmmakers, we are doubly blessed.
We hope these additional screenings, forming as they do the original intention of the KFF, will reassure those who may have wavered in their faith in your long-standing struggle and adherence to the struggle for democracy and human rights in Taiwan and Asia, in particular in Tibet and Xinjiang, and in the world generally.
We appreciate the immense pressure brought to bear on your administration by the People's Republic of China (PRC) over the programming of the documentary in the KFF.
We believe the symbolism of your decision to permit further screenings will be welcomed and acclaimed by commentators and film-goers around the globe and will permanently establish Kaohsiung as one of the region's most important and serious film festivals with an international reputation for integrity under pressure.
KFF will further establish its position as a leading cultural force in Taiwan by its plan to organize advance screenings of The 10 Conditions of Love throughout Taiwan. We have had numerous approaches by some parties in Taiwan claiming to have acquired rights to screenings, but we wish to confirm that only KFF can authorize screenings.
The Kaohsiung City Government and KFF have worked hard under great political duress to achieve this outcome. We hope organizations that wish to screen the film will contact KFF. It is important that these screenings are conducted legally because the rule of law is the first step towards the guarantee of human rights.
China must be resisted powerfully in its attempt to tell democracies what they may or may not see. It has attempted in past months to do this in Australia and again in New Zealand. In each case, its efforts were rebuffed firmly.
Compromise does not work with the Chinese in the matter of the Uighurs and World Uyghur Congress leader Rebiya Kadeer. Nor with Tibet.
We refer to a recent editorial in Taiwan News this week which said that there can be no retreat on free speech — not in Taiwan, not anywhere.
Once again, we express our gratitude and admiration for your actions in this matter.
Reflections on turning 60
Happy birthday to the PRC as it turns 60 years old this week. Six decades filled with turbulence, hardship and various modernization efforts have culminated in recent economic prosperity. But the lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
Development without consideration for the welfare of its citizens can and will lead to disastrous consequences. The string of food scandals that have plagued China in recent years and the appropriation of land in rural areas without fair compensation to the people suggests that the bureaucrats in charge of China's development have not heeded the warnings from the past 60 years.
Initiating human-centered growth, taking into account such things as the health and education of the people and care for the environment, among others, will lead to not only an economically strong China, but a healthy and prosperous society that would serve the nation in the future.

The Associated Press | July 23, 2014
Wilbekin follows Manning
Danny Manning led Tulsa to its first NCAA tournament since 2003 before moving to Wake Forest.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Mitchell Wilbekin always has been Danny Manning's kind of point guard.
So when Manning left Tulsa for Wake Forest, it was only natural that Wilbekin would follow.
Now the freshman guard is looking to step out of the shadow of his big brother -- Southeastern Conference player of the year Scottie Wilbekin -- and make a name for himself in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"It's the ACC -- it's the best conference in the country by far," Wilbekin said. "Wake Forest has a lot of basketball tradition, a lot of players in the NBA and I know (Manning's) offensive style and I'm comfortable with it."
The uptempo, screen-heavy system that Manning runs seems to mesh perfectly with Wilbekin -- who says he operated a similar system the past few years while averaging nearly 15 points last season at The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida.
"The ball-screening offense the last couple of years at my high school, that's really all we did. That was our offense," Wilbekin said. "That was kind of what I was looking for in college."

He thought he found it when he signed to play for Manning at Tulsa. But after Manning led the Golden Hurricane to their first NCAA tournament since 2003, Wake Forest made a strong push for him and he took the job April 4.
Wilbekin was released from his letter of intent and reopened his recruitment, receiving offers from Virginia and South Florida. But Manning also had a spot open for him in Winston-Salem.
"He says we're just going to get up and down, play fast, use a lot of ball screens and play hard defense, pressure the ball," Wilbekin said.
It certainly helps, Manning said, that Wilbekin grew up playing against his big brother -- who averaged 13 points while leading Florida to the Final Four.
"I like his DNA," Manning said. "He's been following his brother around and his brother had a (darned) good year last year. ... The one advantage that he has over a normal freshman is having lived a college type of lifestyle, in terms of working out, because he's always tagged along with his brother. He's been playing against really good competition since he's been in the ninth grade."
Now he's ready to test himself against the best in the ACC.
He steps into a crowded backcourt that already includes two-year starter Codi Miller-McIntyre, steady junior Madison Jones and long-distance threat Miles Overton.
Those three along, with talented big man Devin Thomas, form the core of a team that made steady progress during each of the past two seasons under former coach Jeff Bzdelik — whose resignation in March cleared the way for Manning.
With those players on the roster, Manning isn't facing a total rebuilding job. His task is to find a way to propel that group to even greater heights.
And Wilbekin hopes to fit in with those returners and play an important role in that process.
"We have a lot of talented players. Coach obviously knows what he's doing," Wilbekin said. "His calm demeanor is really something I appreciate, and he knows so much about the game from all his years at ever level being successful. So I'm really just trying to come in and work hard and find a spot."

"Development and Engineering of Dopamine Neurons"
☯ Full Synopsis : "Theneurotransmitter dopamine has just celebrated its 50thbirthday. The discovery of dopamine as a neuronal entity in the late 1950s and the notion that it serves in neurotransmission has been a milestone in the field of neuroscience research. This milestone marked the beginning of an era that explored the brain as an integrated collection of neuronal systems that one could distinguish on basis of neurotransm- ter identities, and importantly, in which one started to be able to pinpoint the seat of brain disease. The mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) system, previously designated as midbraindopaminergic system, has received much attention since its discovery. The initial identification of dopamine as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) and its relevance to psychiatric and neurological disorders have stimulated a plethora of neurochemical, pharmacological and genetic studies into the function of dopamine neurons and theirprojections. In the last decade, studies on gene expression and development have further increased the knowledge of this neuronal population and have unmasked a new level of complexity. The start of the molecular dissection of the mdDA system has been marked by the cloning and characterization ofNurrl and Pitx3. These transcription factors were shown to have a critical function during mdDA development. These initial studies have been followed by the identification of many other proteins, which have a crucial function in the creation of a dopamine neuron permissive region, induction of precursors, induction of terminaldifferent- tion and finally maintenance of the mdDA neuronal pool."Article| Jeroen Pasterkamp| Statement ..."

I didn't bake the pastry case before cooking it, although you could. Just prick the base all over with a fork and pour in the filling. I had plenty of pastry left over, so made an agrestic lattice pattern over the top of the tart, which was then baked at 350°F/180°C for 50 minutes and allowed to cool off slightly before serving.
This quantity would give eight people a decent-sized slice each. You need something cold to serve with it - double cream or crème fraîche (or a mixture) would be great. We used up a tub of decent vanilla ice-cream.
*So I'm not cooking in anyone's kitchen at the moment, which is even harder than cooking in someone else's.
Okay, I'll bite: what IS golden syrup?
For that matter, what is treacle? I've been wondering my whole life--or at least ever since I first encountered "treacle pudding" in some children's book--Winnie the Pooh?
And by the way--have you tried organic cream? Once I'd tasted cream in England, everything here tasted like it came out of a tin. Until I tried organic whipping cream. Wow. It whips in half the time, and it's--it's--it's--I don't want to go overboard here, but it's almost like Devonshire cream. I don't buy anything else now.
Golden syrup is a by-product of the sugar-cane refining process. According to Wikipedia it was invented in 1883. It's sticky, very sweet and a key ingredient in many British dishes (flapjack, treacle tart, treacle sponge pudding). Treacle is usually darker and a bit more bitter than golden syrup, but it's also a by-product of sugar refining.
Treacle pudding is a steamed sponge pudding (eggs/flour/butter) which has a couple of spoonfuls of golden syrup in the base of the pudding basin, so when you invert the finished pudding onto a serving dish, you end up with syrupy juices soaking into the sponge. Very yummy. The queen of British puddings, Delia Smith, has a great recipe for it, which uses both golden syrup and black treacle. I think you could probably use corn syrup and molasses to get much the same result.
I haven't seen organic cream here - but I'd buy it in a trice if I did!


More than 40 percent of Saudis believe that one of the most significant benefits of lifting the ban on female drivers will be the move's positive effect on the country's economy, according to a new Arab News and YouGov survey.
The survey – in which over 500 people participated - found that 42 percent of respondents said that the main impact of lifting the ban is that it will allow women to find work, which would benefit Saudi Arabia's overall economy.
One-third of respondents said that the most important impact would be an increase in household incomes as women find work and no longer have to hire drivers.
Notably, the economic implications of lifting the ban were generally viewed as more significant than the social impact, with only 28 percent of respondents saying the biggest impact would be ensuring that women feel empowered and equal to men.
"That will see more of the kingdom's highly educated women finding fulfilling employment, boosting household incomes, and helping to meet Saudi Arabia's ambitious economic aim of shaking its 'addiction' to oil," he added.
September research from Bloomberg Intelligence suggested that the decree has the potential to add $90 billion to Saudi Arabia's economic output by 2030.
Currently, only about 20 percent of Saudi women are economically active. The Bloomberg research found that adding one percentage point to the rate every year could see 70,000 women introduced into the labour market each year, which, in turn, could lift potential GDP growth by as much as 0.9 percentage points a year.
The Arab News and YouGov poll also found that 77 percent of Saudis agree with the decision, including 82 percent of females and seven in 10 males.
Of Saudi women who plan to drive, 85 percent said they would purchase a vehicle. Budget models are favoured, with 44 percent saying they intend to spend less than SR40,000 ($10,666).
