People's Voices & UNSG Post-2015 Agenda Synthesis Report: add your comments through UNNGLS
NEW YORK – The UN Secretary-General released the post-2015 Synthesis Report, in an Informal Briefing to the General Assembly. The unedited version is available online here in English only. It will be available in all official languages at the end of this month.
Article 37 mentioned MY World and the World We Want as a way for people to provide valuable input into the building of the new agenda.
We encourage MY World partners to submit their comments on this draft via http://bit.ly/Submit-CSO-Response-SG-Synthesis
See below for an excerpt of the report and more information for how to submit feedback.
The Road to Dignity by 2030:
Ending Poverty, Transforming All Lives and Protecting the Planet
Synthesis Report of the Secretary-General
On the Post-2015 Agenda
2.2 What we have learned from the post-2015 process
36. The international community has come a long way in its deliberation on the new
development agenda. In July 2013, further to a request by the General Assembly, I
submitted to the membership my report A Life of Dignity for All. In it, I recommended
the development of a universal, integrated and human rights-based agenda for sustainable
development, addressing economic growth, social justice and environmental stewardship
and highlighting the link between peace, development and human rights – an agenda that
leaves no one behind. I called as well for rigorous review and monitoring, better and
more disaggregated data, and goals and targets that are measurable and adaptable. I
outlined a number of transformative actions that would apply to all countries.
Many voices have informed this debate, and there have been valuable inputs from a wide range of stakeholders. (a) People around the world aired their views through the unprecedented consultations and outreach efforts of organized civil society groups as well as the global conversation led by the United Nations Development Group on A Million Voices: The World We Want, Delivering on the Post-2015 Agenda: Opportunities at the 11 National and Local Level, and MY World Survey. Millions of people especially young persons, took part in these processes, through national, thematic, and on-line consultations and surveys, as mirrored in the Global Youth Call and the outcome of the 65th Annual UN DPI/NGO Conference. The direct and active engagement of parliamentarians, business and civil society has also been critical.
Civil Societies can add to the report
The UN Non-Governmental Liaison Service (UN-NGLS) and UN DESA Division for Sustainable Development (DESA-DSD) invite Major Groups and other civil society stakeholders to submit their official responses to the report to a central online repository via this online form: http://bit.ly/Submit-CSO-Response-SG-Synthesis
Links to all submissions will be published live as they are received here: http://bit.ly/CSO-Responses-Received-SG-Synthesis
UN-NGLS and DESA-DSD provide this mechanism to support review of these important perspectives by all stakeholders in preparation for the continued elaboration of the post-2015 development agenda, beginning with the 19-21 January negotiating session at UN Headquarters in New York. A preparatory forum for stakeholders will be conducted on 16 January by DESA-DSD and UN-NGLS at UN Headquarters. More information about this forum will be provided soon.

The World We Want for Girls, from MDGs to post-2015
12 March 2014 – NEW YORK
The United Nations Millennium Campaign and World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) co-hosted "The World We Want for Girls, from #MDGs to #post2015 agenda" – a side event during The Commission on the Status of Women, #CSW58. The event was moderated by Amy Graham from WAGGGs. It was live tweeted (twitter.com/@myworld2015 and twitter.com/waggs_delegates), and the webcast can be seen here: .
The event began with a presentation on interesting findings regarding girls and young women from the MY World Survey by María Faré Garcia, Project Manager of MY World. The survey, already answered by 1.5 million people in 194 countries, is available on website, by SMS and by paper and pen ballot with the help of over 700 partners. Respondants are asked to choose six out of 16 priorities which would help them and their families live in a better world. Globally, the gender divide in voting is equal except in SMS voting, which is 70% male. Almost 30% of MY world respondents are girls and young women. "Equality between men and women" ranks eighth with females aged 16-30, and 13th with males of same age. This data is available at data.myworld2015.org.
Emmeline Versoza, Executive Director of the Philippine Commission on Women, spoke of the amazing progress that the Phillipines has made on MDGs by prioritizing women in their development agenda. She emphasized the need for a standalone goal on the empowerment of women and girls in the post-2015 agenda.
"All over the world, 800 women a day still die from complications in childbirth" said Nanette Braun, Advocacy and Communications Specialist from UN Women. "MDG progress for women and girls has been much too slow," she continued, revealing the new post-2015 Beijing initiative to be launched in the coming months which will focus on accelerating progress. She advocated for more focus on violence against women, access to education and empowerment for leadership skills in girls, and for women in leadership.
The most touching moment of the event occurred when Beatrice Omweri, a Girl Guide in Kenya, told about her every day reality. She delcared that "I am here today to say no to violence and to see a world where equality is a reality." She spoke about how climate change affects her life as a young African woman, especially in fetching water for her family. "Is it a crime to be born a woman?" she wondered aloud through tears. Girl guiding has given her hope, and helped her own empowerment and those of the girls around her.
Moved by the speakers before him, Gerardo Porteny from Young Men 4 Gender Equality began, "being surrounded by so many woman leaders inspires me to fight for gender equality." He spoke about how his organization and the various campaigns related to it promote gender equality and the fact that true masculinity is championing the women around you: "Equality leads to a better and more loving relationship."
The event rounded out with a general call to promote equality between men and women, the promotion of a standalone goal on gender, and praise of WAGGGS in their efforts in promoting MY World and serving as advocates and leaders for women and girls everywhere.

Tyler O'Neill homered and drove in two runs, Kolten Wong had three hits and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 in Denver on Friday night.
Starting pitcher Miles Mikolas also homered, and Carlos Martinez (7-6) got the win with 1 2/3 innings of relief for St. Louis, which has won four straight.
The Cardinals lead the National League wild-card standings after winning 14 of their last 16 games.
Nolan Arenado and Charlie Blackmon homered for the Rockies, who slipped a game back of the Brewers for the second NL wild card after Milwaukee rallied past Pittsburgh in a wild, 15-inning affair.
St. Louis jumped on starter Antonio Senzatela (4-4) in the second inning. O'Neill led off with a homer for the game's first run. Jedd Gyorko drew a one-out walk and moved to third on Wong's single. Gyorko scored on a passed ball, and Mikolas homered to center — his second of the season — to make it 4-0.
St. Louis built on the lead in the fifth on RBI doubles by O'Neill and Gyorko, which ended Senzatela's night. Wong's sacrifice fly made it 7-0.
Senzatela allowed all seven runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Colorado's offense woke up in the bottom of the fifth. Blackmon started things with a two-run homer to right-center field, his 23rd on the season, and Arenado followed one out later with his 31st to left.
Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story singled to put runners on the corners, and second baseman Wong's throwing error on a potential double-play ball kept the inning alive. Ryan McMahon took advantage with an RBI single to make it 7-5 and chase Mikolas.
Mikolas allowed five runs (four earned) on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings and just missed out on getting the win.
The Rockies loaded the bases in the eighth inning, but Gonzalez grounded out to end the threat. They put runners on first and third in the ninth before closer Bud Norris earned his 27th save by getting DJ LeMahieu to hit into a force play to end the game.

When buying a home, compare lenders and mortgage rate terms to get the best loan.
Buying a home is likely one of the largest purchases you will make during your lifetime. And it's a purchase you'll be paying for long after you close the deal.
If you plan on buying a house, save yourself a lot of money by securing the best mortgage rate possible. Follow these tips to get a low rate on your mortgage and find the best mortgage lender.
The best mortgages are reserved for borrowers with credit scores higher than 760, according to Consumer Reports. Before you apply for a mortgage, pull your credit report so you can make sure all the information on it is accurate — otherwise, you could be allowing an error from a credit bureau to cost you more in interest.
Avoid applying for new credit for at least a year prior to applying for your mortgage. Each time you apply for new credit, the inquiry is added to your credit report and can affect your credit score for one year, according to Experian.
Besides high credit scores, lenders also like to see borrowers who have a low debt-to-income ratio. In general, lenders want your mortgage payment to be 28 percent of your monthly gross income. The rest of your household debt — which includes your mortgage, property taxes, private mortgage insurance and home insurance — shouldn't be more than 36 percent of your gross income. Try to pay down your revolving credit accounts as well because you can be a more attractive borrow if your credit-to-debt ratio is 30 percent of your income or lower, according to Experian.
Banks offer different types of mortgages, so make sure you research them all. Check out your options for a fixed-rate mortgage and an adjustable-rate mortgage.
If you're not sure you're moving into your "forever" home, consider an ARM that doesn't start adjusting its rate for several years. For example, if you use a 7/1 ARM, the interest rate won't change for the first seven years, so if you move or refinance in year six, you'll never see that rate change.
Even if you have existing accounts at a particular bank, don't just apply at that bank. Instead, research options from multiple mortgage lenders so that you can do a mortgage rate comparison and find the best lender for you.
When you're looking at different mortgage options, the interest rate is important, but you should also consider your closing costs and other fees. Even if you prefer using a brick-and-mortar bank, you could use some online mortgage quotes as leverage with another lender.
If you're worried about affecting your credit score with a bunch of mortgage applications, don't. If a lender uses the old FICO scoring model, you can apply for multiple mortgages within 14 days and your credit score will reflect only one of the inquiries; if the lender uses the newest FICO model, you'll have 45 "shopping days" for multiple applications.
Try put down at least 20 percent on your home. Banks reward larger down payments with lower interest rates because if you default on the loan, the bank is better protected against a decline in the home's value. In addition, a 20 percent down payment enables you to avoid paying for private mortgage insurance, lowering your costs even more.
Use this guide on how to get a home loan so you can get a better deal on your house.

Buhari Is A Backward Individual With A Backward Mentality' – Imam Of Peace
By TASK MASTER	 Last updated Oct 20, 2020
A Muslim influencer and reformist Imam, Mohammad Tawhidi, popularly known as Imam of Peace, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a "backward individual with a backward mentality."
The Islamic scholar who lampooned President Buhari in a tweet on the micro-blogging site, Twitter where he backed the ongoing #EndSARS protests, added that President Buhari has a "backward cabinet."
This online news platform understands that protesting youths in Nigeria are agitating for the end to police brutalization and extrajudicial killings of Nigerians. The protesters have been on the streets for more than a week now, protesting the brutalities, humiliation, and extortion of Nigerians, especially the youths.
The protesters demanded an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a police unit under the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Anthony Ogbizi, using a hashtag: #EndSARS.
On Sunday, October 11, 2020, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Adamu disbanded SARS following a widespread protest from Nigerians worldwide.
However, since the announcement that SARS has been scrapped, the protesters have refused to leave the streets, which a Presidential Advisory Committee says might force the Federal Government to take drastic measures against the protesting youths.
On the backdrop of the protests, Imam of Peace had since on Friday, October 16, lent his voice to the #EndSARS protests across various cities in Nigeria in series of tweets on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, where he noted that the "violence and terrorism will only start coming to an end if Buhari is out of office."
Imam of Peace tweeted: "Buhari is a backward individual with a backward mentality and a backward cabinet. He believes in washing blood with blood. This violence and terrorism will only start coming to an end if Buhari is out of office. There's no other realistic solution."

'Major Extortion'?
Photos by Brian Johnson & Darren Schwindaman
By Adam Lynch Wednesday, April 25, 2007 4:46 p.m. CDT
Council members Marshand Crisler, Ben Allen and Margaret Barrett-Simon told the Jackson Free Press Monday that city Chief of Staff Marcus Ward threatened Jackson School Board member Jonathan Larkin's re-appointment to the board if he does not approve a bid for a contract by a company supported by the mayor's office. According to the three council members and sources connected to JPS, Ward told Larkin that the mayor's office would not submit Larkin's name to the Council for re-confirmation if he did not approve a contract bid by Jackson business Integrated Management Services PA, for work related to the $150 million bond issue—a bid that is reportedly much higher than the next lowest bid.
"Marcus Ward has threatened Jonathan Larkin with the school-board appointment if he doesn't vote a certain way on the contract," Barrett-Simon said Monday.
"According to our source, this chosen contractor for project management is supposed to be IMS," Crisler said. "Allegedly, they will pull his re-appointment if he doesn't approve this contractor's bid, supposedly $2 million over the next bidder."
Larkin told the JFP Monday that he would neither confirm nor deny the threat. A source close to the JPS board confirmed that the mayor and members of his staff had contacted board members regarding this particular contract.
Allen promised a full council investigation. "We're talking subpoenas if there's something to this," Allen said. "This is major extortion here."
Ward denied that he threatened Larkin that night at the JPS board meeting where the issue was being voted on. "No, no, no and no. We talked about the mayor's agenda and his vision for doing business with the city of Jackson," Ward said. "(Larkin) interpreted very incorrectly. … That was twice this afternoon we talked. We talked one time for about four or five minutes. He was at the doctor's office, and he called me back. I was at the convention center commission meeting. We talked then. He made the allegation then, and I told him that was not the case. He said, 'Well, I withdraw that then.' And I said, 'Well, I'm glad you do because that's not within my character or the mayor's character.' I thought that was the end of it. Then, all of the sudden, you guys (the press) start calling me and saying all this other stuff."
Ward added that the council will be "hearing from my attorneys."
The board spurned IMS' bid, awarding the contract for program manager for the $150 million general obligation bond for district construction and improvements to a joint contract between California-based Jacobs Engineering and local business Preferred Management.
Larkin's favor would have made a difference on that decision. Supervisors opted in a close 3-2 vote in favor of Jacobs Engineering and Preferred Management, with supervisors H. Ann Jones, Maggie Benson-White and Jonathan Larkin in favor, and Sollie Norwood and Delmer Stamps opposed.
In another, unrelated, vote that night, supervisors elected Stamps as the new board president and Larkin as vice president.
Larkin admitted that some parties had lobbied hard to sway the board's decision in the bond management vote. "There has been a significant amount of lobbying efforts, both legitimate and what some of us would consider not so legitimate, on many sides during the last three or four months," Larkin said. "We're making sure that everything that's going to happen is clear, transparent and above board. We want to make sure that whatever's done … is for the sake of the taxpayers. It's critical because the taxpayers have spent a lot of money and they have a lot of faith in us."
Mississippi Link Publisher and Garrett Enterprises owner Socrates Garrett is one of the contractors entered into a joint venture proposal with Jacobs Engineering and Preferred Management. Garrett was a staunch supporter of former Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. over Melton during the last election.
Since he was elected mayor, Melton has moved to cancel Garrett's contracts with the city. Last year, the mayor vetoed the council's decision to award publication of the city's legal ads to the Mississippi Link—which was the lowest bidder—in favor of The Clarion-Ledger. In response, Garrett's lawyers successfully sued the city for about $50,000, calling the veto "arbitrary and capricious."
Also involved with the joint contract is Preferred Management Group CEO Johnny Crisler, brother of Ward 6 Councilman Marshand Crisler—a frequent critic of the mayor's decisions and policies.
Garrett said he knew nothing about the influence that council members say the mayor's office attempted to wield over the board decision.
"I really don't have any knowledge of that. That would be hearsay," Garrett said. "I was pleased to get the support of Mr. Larkin, and I trust everything was done above board."
John Calhoun, CEO and co-owner of IMS, said it was the mayor's responsibility to influence local governments to support local businesses. "The two choices were a company from California or IMS. You expect the mayor's office and the council to support local, minority-owned businesses. Who's going to pay back the school bond issue? Jacksonians. If Marcus sits here and says to a board member we need Mississippi businesses doing business in Mississippi, I would expect the council to be saying that as well. I mean, I'm not going to do business in California," said Calhoun, who added that he knew nothing about Ward's lobbying.
Calhoun said that it was the mayor's prerogative to submit board nominees sympathetic to his cause. "Whether it's the governor or the president, you want people on the board who support your philosophy and the mayor's philosophy is to support Mississippi business, and I don't think he would support members of the board who did not support that," Calhoun said. "If that's what they were doing, if they were advocating for Mississippi business, heck yeah, I support that."
What wxactly is Marcus Wards's title? I know that he is not doing the lobbying piece for the City of Jackson. Since he (fm) terminated the tried and true, who exactly is lobbying is Washington for the City?
What (E)xactly is Marcus Ward's title?
it would get me banned for life from JFP.
Come on King. Ladd doesn't throw us off for telling the truth. Can you back - it - up? LOL !!! LOL!!! LOL!!!!
I meant the title I wanted to use. And I'm on my 12th live here.
justjess, I see which end of the creek 'Fish is swimming toward. Don't encourage him. I might have to skin him. And John Waits (sp?) is back lobbying for Jackson, thankfully. Allen fixed that mess post-haste.
yeah. I'm not interested in any farewell tours right now. ;-) Who knows what his title actually is. That can change by the day or hour with this mayor.
What (E)xactly is Marcus Ward's title? Last title I heard was Chief of Staff.

We enable our student coaches to develop a more comprehensive, systemic and precise understanding of how this works which will enable you to work with a more integrated awarenss to facilitate the achievement of greater more transformation and Results for your clients. In fact this is precisely where Rob and Joanne started their careers in personal devlopment as Life, career and performance oaching over 14 years ago.
NLP demonstrates the significance of the relationships between our thoughts, language and behavour. META-Health expands and deepens this awareness by revealing the precise connections between thoughts (beliefs and values) language, emotions, behaviour, brain neurology and organic symptoms.
This awareness and understanding allows NLP Practitioners, Masters and Trainer to develop expanded understanding of the specific realtionships between certain language and behaviour and the physiological recruitment leading to a far greater systemic understanding of the underlying programmed and bio-psyhco-social nature of perceptual bias that drives client experiences and meaning creation.
We have trained a numbers of Practitioners from Homeopathy, Chinese Medicine and Ayuvedic Medicine. One of the aspects of META-Health that is astounding to Alternative Medical Practitioners is the way that it connects with and often enables them to fill in perceived gaps and even refine some of their undersanding of their own fields.
Modern Health Professionals, Consultants and Researchers - If you work in the field of healthcare you may have become increasingly interested in how unconscious stressors emotional conflicts and traumatic events can influence even drive dis-ease processes. We can support you to learn the science of precisely how and why,specific mental emotional traumas and internal conflicts lead to specificc biological dis-eases based on an evolutionary understanding of a meaningful tissue response.

JBC Associates is pleased to announce that the firm has been awarded its first Prime On-Call Project Management and Construction Management Services agreement at Philadelphia International Airport and Northeast Philadelphia Airport with the City of Philadelphia Division of Aviation (DOA). Previously, JBC provided on-call PM/CM services as a sub-consultant on several On-Call PMCM agreements for terminal, airfield and landside construction projects totaling over $300 million in construction. JBC services consisted of construction schedule review and analysis, progress monitoring, and construction inspection for new and renovated airport facility and tenant projects, as well as airfield runway and taxiway projects.
This contract award continues JBC's twenty-five (25) year history of a strong working relationship with the DOA to ensure successful outcomes in project delivery.


He was a charming, smiling character -- almost literally larger than life -- when he roamed the Texas State Senate and later the U.S. House of Representatives. He represented a portion of East Texas centered around Diboll, just outside of Lufkin. You didn't have to spend much time around him to know why he was called, "Good time Charlie."
George Crile wrote his amazing story in "Charlie Wilson's War," later turned into a movie starring Tom Hanks as Wilson. No actor, however, could capture his incandescence; not even the Academy Award-winning Hanks.
People liked Charlie Wilson, and he used that asset to persuade people. I had the great good fortune to see how he could take his passion and joy on an issue and transform it into action.
The Houston Chronicle reports that Charlie Wilson died today in his hometown.
UPDATE -- Evan Smith of the Texas Tribune talked with KUT News this afternoon about Wilson. It was no overstatement when he said that we will never see another Charlie Wilson.

Right. What can I write about such an immensely popular game which hasn't already been said. Obviously not much. Also, what should I describe it for - everybody already knows it! Then again, maybe not really everybody. So, a brief introduction.
In Privateer, you take over the role of a (choke) privateer based in the Gemini sector of the Wing Commander universe. This isn't exactly frontier (although one outer edge does go towards Kilrathi space), which means compared to the 'main line' Wing Commander games, everything is a little calmer.
In fact, there isn't even the branching, but still fixed scheme of flying mission after mission. Instead, Privateer tries to go along the lines of Elite: You can freely fly around and earn money whichever way you want. For instance, you can trade. Buy goods on one planet and sell them on another. For that, there's a rough scheme of planetary classes: agricultural planets have a cheap surplus of food, which, in turn, is desperately asked for at mining planets. Of course, there are many more goods, and not everything is as obvious as this example.
Then, there are also missions. These have a wide range: the Merchant Guild might ask you to transport something or escort one of their members while the Mercenary Guild might offer you money for patroling a sector or killing some pirates. Speaking of pirates, you're also free to go their way, too - smuggling illegal drugs can be highly profitable, but harbours the risk of running into patrols, of course.
What is all that money for? You can buy better ships and upgrade them with new equipment. You're starting the game with a second-hand model which is hardly state-of-art anymore. Even new guns, cargo space upgrades and such can only take it that far. For a truly safe passage through space, there are three civilian crafts (remember, you're not with the military in this game) you can buy on the free market: the Orion (described as 'a tank' in the manual), the Galaxy (a large merchant ship) and the Centurion (a medium fighter). These stock models can then be equipped with lots of different options to accomodate the player's wishes.
If all that is too much freedom, there's a story in the game, too. It can be triggered at any time by visiting the right planet / person, and it involves a strange alien artifact which you come by. Basically, the story just takes you from one person who gives you pre-scripted missions to the next. Still, it's a nice change from the otherwise randomized tasks. Especially since some of the missions are a little more on the tricky side. Even after finishing this 'campaign', you can of course continue to play for as long as you like.
Privateer is very easy to get into. At the beginning, you're restricted to a single solar system which, as it turns out, is to your own advantage: It's a very calm environment with little hostility in which you can take first steps, try everything out and earn a little by trading. Once you decide to leave, things get tougher, but at least you'll have a little more experience then.
The trading also isn't that complex (see above), no need to write down long lists of available and asked for goods by hand. And while the flying does require quite a few additional keys even if you're using one of these monster joysticks, it's more on the action side than simulation, too. Speaking of realism, it's very low, of course. Spaceships can turn around on the spot, there are explosions (!) in space and all that. Again, this signifies it's meant for casual gamers, not hardcore players. Keeping that premise in mind, it's excellent.
It does a great job of creating a universe which is to some extent believable and 'alive'. You constantly meet other ships (not restricted to the types you can fly yourself) which are either merchants, mercenaries, militia, military, pirates, Kilrathi or 'Retros' (a religious sect who wants to abolish space travel completely - apparantely by blasting everybody out of space). All these groups have different stances towards you, depending on how you treated them so far. If you're constantly killing pirates, they will attack you on sight, too. If you help them fight the milita, on the other hand, they'll be your friends. Also, you're meeting with lots of different characters which keep the story running and there are even a few unique planets which have their own 'faces'. Pure and simple fun.
What wasn't so much fun was the way the game was marketed. As usual for Origin at that time, the game was sold in different 'modules' which you had to buy seperately. First of all, there was the main game, of course. Then, there was the 'Speech Pack'. Installing that, everything which was said in the game sound from your speakers. A little later, there was an expansion called 'Righteous Fire' which containes a second campaign (revolving around the Retros). For a brief time, one could even read about plans for an SVGA upgrade, but that was dropped again. Especially the concept of a 'Speech Pack' customers had to pay roughly another 20¤ for was heavily critized - and rightly so. Charging extra for sound effects? Thankfully a business model which didn't make it.

Wing Commander: Privateer is one of the best games I have ever played! It's just so much fun to play, and it sucks you right in.
Mr Creosote (2006-11-11):
By the way, I stronly advise everyone to check out the remakes in the related links. Both are built on top of the free Vegastrike engine, so they have lots of things in common. 'Privateer Gemini Gold' aims at being an exact remake (with improved graphics), 'Privateer Remake' (ironically) adds lots of new things to the game, like the ability to fly pretty much every ship and an additional campaign. They're both available for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
Wandrell (2006-11-10):
Yes now that I look for it. The copy I played is of a friend and by now it's nearly forgotten by me, so I mixed up things.
Wasn't that one released by Microsoft?
I mixed names, I looked and the game was Freelancer, aparently originally designed by the same who designed Privateer. I couldn't play much because the bug, but even thought it looked fun you couldn't travel freely, to unlock passages to other places you had to finish some missions.
Privateer: The Darkening? One of the worst disappointments I ever had. Virtually unplayable, I kept dying early on again and again, because unlike in the first part, the game immediately starts in the 'danger zone'. Also, once I got over this phase with lots of luck (read: restore saved game until a run gets through without meeting any pirates/whatever), I got to a point when I actually got quite good at fighting other ships. Only that suddenly, I found myself in an unending battle in which I killed something like 100 ships, but more kept coming, so I couldn't even run away. Horrible.
I have played another, newer, Privateer by EA, which owns Origin but gave the game that name probably to try to sell a bit more. It is fun, until you find it haves a game-stopping bug when you are ambushed, and have to be ambushed to continue playing and advance to the next place, and when a friend bought it (he had the same problem recently with another game by the way) there wasn't a patch for the problem.


The homeowners had bmobile home security service with Rapid Response however, not wanting to alert the intruders, they called the bmobile Home Alarm Monitoring centre and the Operator there knew just what to do.
Within a few minutes, a team of well-trained professional security officers were on the scene at the Duncan Village home and officers from the La Romaine Police Station joined them. All of the officers searched the premises and were able to apprehend one of the suspects, later identified as Keon Jordan AKA "Fat Face", a 30-year-old, Labourer of #15, Hillside Avenue, Mon Repos, San Fernando.
Jordan appeared before Magistrate Alicia Chankar of the San Fernando Magistrate's Court to answer to the charge of Loitering. He pleaded guilty and was fined $1,000.00 and put on a bond to keep the peace for one year. Jordan also has to answer to for four (4) unrelated offences of Larceny and Wounding.
The homeowners were extremely grateful for the response from bmobile and the Police and the outcome at the court. The bmobile home security service more than lived up to its reputation. By keeping a level head, the homeowners were able to use the service to gain an advantage over the prowlers and the police and security officers capitalized on this. In the end, the homeowners could attest to the tremendous peace of mind they have, knowing that they can rely on the expert support of bmobile home security service anytime of the day or night.


It's officially December and if (like me) you haven't had a chance to come up with a fun Advent calendar for the kids, you'll love this beautifully designed free printable poster. Now you can focus on the fun part which is thinking of all the goodies you can add to it. Head over to Confetti Sunshine to download this fun free printable Advent calendar!

It would be nice IMO if widgets (or more concisely, FormFields?) could have a "help_text" attribute to display some help besides them like Django's admin does.
This help_text could even be another widget, maybe HelpWidget?, so it can be customized to display the help in other ways, for example an overlib's popup.
Widget templates would have to change to display this attribute if present in it's template_vars, but it's a trivial change.
I like the notion of help widgets, but I think I'd prefer to keep widgets themselves self-contained. I'd rather see the Form object be in control of how help is displayed (just as the forms are in control of how errors are displayed). This keeps the model that a widget is a self-contained little unit, and some other object understands how to build widgets up into a unit for an application.
Yes, maybe we can just put the help_text attribute on a Widget, then the Form or any other CompoundWidget? is responsible of displaying it in the way he wants (js pop-up, fancy flash, ...) just like you said, exactly what we are doing for the label and form errors. I don't think we need a HelpWidget? for this thing, probably.
Add a help_text attribute to the FormField? class. This should be set at construction/declaration time (just like the "name" attr) and be internationalizable.
Update the Form widgets' templates to display the subwidget's help_text attribute if exists.
Forms can then be subclassed to display help attributes in other meaningful ways as the developer wishes.
If Kevin approves I might give it a wirl this afternoon... No backwards incompabilities should be introduced.


With this being the first year of switching over to Falcon hardware I have one final hurdle to clear. Last year I used an EtherDongle and was able to program my SSCv4s with the uSC/SSC Falcon Programmer after flashing with Falcon SSC firmware. Now, I'm not having any luck using the FPD.
Any suggestions on things to look for?
Also, just for clarification, the 'FPD Address' field within the Falcon Programmer setup is supposed to be the IP for my FPP correct?
Are your hub jumpers set to universe 1?
I hadn't thought about checking that, but after doing so, yes both hub jumpers are set to universe 1.
I'm not sure if it's supposed to, but the 'Bytes Transferred' doesn't ever change from 0 even when attempting to program my SSCs.
On your first screen shot you need to increase the universes to 16. That gives you 2 Pixelnet universes. 1-4096 and 4097-8192. That is how you have your FPD set up. Then I would set to unicast with an IP of 192.168.0.145. I can take a screen shot from my system tonight if needed.
The way that it is set now you are only outputting 512 channels.
The reason I set up the E1.31 settings like that is based upon David's advice in this thread, http://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,456.0.html.
"Set the universe count to 1, start address 1, count 512 and type of that universe to multicast in universe setup in FPP and stop then restart FPPD"
In David's example of that he is saying to keep your unverse count to 512. So each universe that you set will have a count of 512. Multicast will work too, I have mine set for unicast.
Just realized that was a very old post. Yes a lot has changed since then.
In David's example of that he is saying to keep your universe count to 512. So each universe that you set will have a count of 512. Multicast will work too, I have mine set for unicast.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I thought the 'Universe Count' specifies how many universes you want to set, not the size of each universe.
If this is the case, is there any updated documentation on the required setup? That older post was the only thing I could find that looked to be applicable for me.
BTW - I recently had the same issue about thinking the counters would increment, but it's a different way that the software talks to the pi / FPD, so I believe even outside of bridge mode the command to program will work.
Well I could be absolutely wrong. I am no expert at all! I am constantly asking for help.
Things that have changed are the FPD firmware, The FPP and the SSC and the contoller software. Here is my configuration, but I am running 2 V2s not an FPD. Setup is the same though, just different IP address.
I just had success programming all 17 of my SSCv4's.
I feel pretty silly in what appears to be the solution. Within the uSC/SSC Programmerer I clicked on the button in the bottom right to 'program all SSCs on hub'. I came across this suggestion from another thread (http://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,1831.0.html) and it worked for me.
As am I. Thanks for your continued help.


Story behind your band/artist name: My parents gave it to me! Pulled from the ol' family tree. I wish this was a cooler story.
What part of the DC region is the artist tied to and how? Where is the artist's current home base if not DC : I grew up in Alexandria and have lived in and outside of DC for my entire life except a 2 year stint in NV. I am especially tied to the many magical coffee shops in DC.
I've never blown out birthday candles, I always wave them out. I also prefer my cake served in a bowl with soy milk. Don't knock it til you try it!
Anything else we should know, or you want to share: One of my biggest joys over the last year (aside from recording and releasing my first album) was pulling together some ridiculous music videos with my best friend from high school.


If you are planning you upcoming nuptials, you sure to be excited to the best day of your life. However, we know it can be a nerve-wracking experience too and that you will feel a lot more confident when you are feeling at your most beautiful. Hair and makeup are a such a big part of a wedding day as every bride deserves to feel a million dollars. A braided wedding hairstyle is such a popular choice as they generally hold in place well all day, and there is so much versatility with gorgeous styles for both long and short hair. So, if you are thinking about how you will be styling your hair on your big day, get some inspiration from our favourite braided wedding hairstyles.
There is no rule to say that bridal hairstyles need to be polished and sleek. This loose and tousled braid has such a wonderful Bohemian vibe, which has been added to with the addition of real ivy flowers…gorgeous!
Giving a wave to this hair before securing into a low bun has given the style great body and movement. Loving the fed-in braid and the loose tendrils that frame the face.
An elegant high bun is a great wedding hairstyle and this one has been taken to the next level with the addition of a four strand braid that has been wrapped around it. So effortlessly chic!
For a free-spirited wedding hairstyle plait different sized sections of hair into different types of braids. The half fishtail braid crown is stunning and the little French braids peeking out of big bouncy waves are lovely.
This is a really lovely wedding hairstyle for shorter hair. In inverted bob has been given a bouncy curl that adds volume that is complemented by a side braid. The little floral pins are subtle and chic.
This braided chignon is a gorgeous bridal hairstyle. The chunky braid is light and airy and the ladies' breath flowers are so appropriate for a wedding day.
This lovely bridal braid is so romantic. The strands of the braid have been teased out to add some extra body (a great tip for fine hair) and the flowers woven into the plait look so elegant.
There are so many different ways to wear halo braid and these side-swept waves are such a beautiful variation. Definitely one of the more unique bridal braided up-dos.
Short and mid-length hair looks gorgeous with a braided half up-do and has the added bonus of not having to hope the style stays put all day. These two lovely French braids have been pinned in place with a sweet floral accessory and those hair styled into piecey waves.
There is something so whimsical about these multiple French and rope braids that are all secured at the nape of the neck with a gorgeous and subtle floral hair accessory. The long sleek lengths are beautiful and the pompadour bangs are a great finishing touch.
The wrap around Dutch braid is such a simple style that has such a big impact. The loose tendrils and leaf accessory give the hairstyle a fairy tale vibe, don't you think?
There is so much to love about this bridal style – the fishtail braid, the icy blonde hue, the matte texture and the floral decoration. Idea for a beach wedding.
Thick honey highlights in this golden brown lob have been emphasised with a chunky halo braid and soft curls. Loving the delicate floral accessories too.
Polished perfection – this chic bridal hairstyle features a neat floral headband that meets at the nape of the neck in an elegant chignon.
This is such a great braided bridal style for those with long hair. The long ponytail has lovely texture and the Dutch braid that is fed into adds an extra little detail, and a place to hold flower or jewelled accessories if you wish.
This hairstyle shows how to perfectly incorporate braids into shorter hair. The natural texture of the hair is stunning and it has been accentuated by a lovely half French braided crown. The braid really shows off the gorgeous warm tones of the hair.
As you can see there is so much versatility when it comes to braided hair. A braided wedding hairstyle can be carefree and effortless, chic and polished, or Bohemian and relaxed. Furthermore, there is a way to incorporate braids into any length of hair from the short to the super long, plus plait work in both finer and thicker hair types. Finally, braids also look good in complete up-dos, half up-dos, or just as a little detail in an existing style. There really is so much you can do with braids.
The versatility is not the only great thing about a braid as a bridal hairstyle. Most braids have great staying power, holding their style all day when secured with a few invisible grips and a light spritz of hairspray. You won't have to worry about how your hair will look in pictures – if a few tendrils escape, it will just add to the charm of your style.
There are so many different styles of braid – from the simple rope braid to the intricate five-strand braid, from the classic French braid to the contemporary pull through braid. The best way to find the right braid for you is to book yourself in with your wedding hairstylist for a few sessions before the big day to experiment with a few different looks. This way you know the braided wedding hairstyle you have chosen will be perfect.

3 Pieces Of CBD Research You Can't Ignore
CBDNerds Staff

Research into cannabidiol (CBD) began in the 20th century, with the discovery of the cannabinoid itself and later the endocannabinoid system (ECS) where it has a significant impact. These breakthroughs have provided the foundation for more in-depth studies in the past couple of decades, which have helped to paint a better picture of how CBD works in the body, and the compound's potential as a therapeutic agent.
While hemp-derived wholesale CBD products are legal, and people are already happily taking them to self-medicate their ailments, scientific research is imperative for the legitimization of CBD as mainstream medicine. Politicians, the media, and important bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have already shown more receptiveness to CBD than psychoactive, THC-rich cannabis. Let's put a focus on three important pieces of CBD research that have been carried out in recent times, but have perhaps not yet received the attention they deserve.
2018 survey shows why people are using CBD
We know that there is a long list of reasons for taking CBD, and while some like to dismiss CBD products as a fad, the reality is that the compound can help with so much because of the endocannabinoid system's (ECS) wide-ranging influence on the body. And now, thanks to a cross-sectional study by Jamie Corroon and Joy A. Phillips published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, a peer-reviewed journal, we have a good idea of what people are using CBD for.
This, the first study of its kind, involved 2,409 American CBD users, who submitted an anonymous questionnaire. The results found that more than 60 percent were using products as an alternative medicine, 38 percent are taking them to improve general health and wellbeing. The survey also highlighted the broad appeal of CBD, with nearly 1,000 respondents stating that they were not regular cannabis users.
The leading reason for using CBD was to treat chronic pain, with nearly 30 percent selecting this option – although this could technically describe a number of conditions. Arthritis and joint pain came in second, with anxiety and depression at third and fourth. Allergies, nausea, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, migraines, and fibromyalgia came in lower down the list.
More than 900 respondents are taking their CBD sublingually with tincture oils, making it more popular than any other method. Sublingual absorption was closely followed by vaping and taking capsules.
CBD can help to treat anxiety
Unfortunately, hardly anybody had heard about CBD back in 2011, when a ground-breaking study in Europe showcased the potential of this non-psychoactive cannabinoid to treat anxiety, and specifically public speaking anxiety, which is a form of social anxiety. However, with almost 20 percent of the adult American population affected by it each year, this research warrants our attention.
None of the 24 patients used in this investigation, which was featured in Neuropsychopharmacology, had any experience with anxiety medication, making them ideal candidates for the test. Half were administered a placebo treatment, while the other half got a 600mg dose of CBD in a capsule.
Following treatment, all participants took part in a simulated public speaking test, with their anticipatory speech and speech performance assessed – the former is the anxiety caused by an upcoming event, with the reading taken in the seconds leading up to the speech. The CBD helped to reduce anticipatory anxiety while promoting an improved speech performance.
The researchers suggested that CBD's anxiolytic effects may be mediated in the serotonin system and not the ECS, at serotonin 1A receptors.
An introduction to Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CED)
The identification of the ECS in the early 1990s has paved the way for research into the system itself. Since the turn of the millennium, a series of papers looking at the implications of a dysfunctional ECS have been published, authored by psychopharmacology researcher Dr. Ethan Russo.
Incredibly, these studies may have uncovered the root cause for both fibromyalgia and migraines, illnesses that have left scientists perplexed for decades. The ECS can only function well with optimum levels of endocannabinoids, and especially anandamide, a chemical that binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors, regulating mood, pain, inflammation, and more.
When endocannabinoids are not present in the necessary amounts, the ECS becomes dysfunctional, with the patient suffering from a proposed condition called Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CED). Russo's research has continuously highlighted the medicinal potential of CBD wholesale and whole-plant cannabis. In the 2016 update, the study suggested that natural solutions are preferable to synthetic drugs, which may be too forceful.
