Guns of Glory is a game developed by Fun Plus, Diandian Interactive Holding and is available on Android and iOS. The game was initially released on September 21, 2017 and has grown to one of the industries to grossing mobile games. The game is packed with many things to do which include engaging in war, gathering resources, exploring catacombs, building your castle and estate as well as doing research in order to strengthen your lord.
This game can be played for free however many players who do not make some purchases in the game may find it hard to compete with other players. With that said, the game is frequently touted as a pay to play game where the players who spend the most money gain the largest advantages fastest.
Some examples of this are when the developer releases an update which could take free players a year to fully maximize and apply attribute stats bonuses, and a pay to play player could apply the full stats bonus in a day or a few months depending on the amount they spend. For some people, this can add to the excitement in the game while others may find it discouraging.
Guns of Glory is an incredibly fun game to play. There are countless things to do and you can find yourself keeping busy all day with tasks or playing politics with other players in your kingdom.
Shortly after the game was released, bots and apk software packages were released to give some players an edge over others. Since then, Fun Plus has largely cracked down on these hacks or what they view as game cheats and eliminated countless bot accounts whilst largely leaving the main accounts that took part in the cheats in tact. This has led some of these players to have an edge over players who did not use bots to amass resources more quickly then players who did not use APK's to get an edge over other players.
Fun Plus is constantly releasing updates and patches to the game. New equipment and other upgrades are released on an almost monthly basis. In most cases, these new items can be acquired for free by simply playing the game but can also be purchased to give the player buying the items an immediate edge over those who are not willing to pay for the new items.
As new updates are released to Guns of Glory, this guide will continue to be updated with new and relevant information in order to keep players informed.
Alliance buildings can be placed by the Alliance Leader. In most cases, some pre-planning where these buildings will go within your territory will help. Things like grouping your stronger members around the Underworld Gates, placing towers strategically for UAC or to increase the size of your territory and having a good place for members to gather from a Iron Mine, Silver Mine, Lumberyard or Farm.
The Hall of Heroes contains Leaderboards, Bounties, Alliance Celebration, Hero Achievements and a Hero Store. This is a vital building for keeping track of your rank in the kingdom, your alliances rank, and to use Bounty Parcels when members of your alliance raise bounties.
Sometimes it is important to remind people in your alliance to raise bounties in the Hall of Heroes. People may forget and bounty parcels start to stack up. By reminding them about the bounties, a domino affect can occur and where members may not have had enough coins to raise a bounty before, they can quickly add up and have enough to raise more bounties.
The Alliance Rank in your kingdom can play a pivotal role in your influence on the kingdom. Being in a high ranking alliance and being in a position of power in the alliance will allow you to influence decisions that are made in the kingdom. Some kingdoms find themselves in a state of peace with treaties across alliance borders allowing members to play without worry of attack, without a peace shield.
The rank of the alliance is a combined score of all of the members in a particular group. In some cases in order to gain influence, protection or greater rewards, some alliances may merge, giving them a larger combined power and improving their rank in the kingdom.
The largest factor with your Alliance Rank is the ability to participate in UAC or the Ultimate Alliance Campaign. If your alliance is not in the Top 10, you will not be able to participate in this event and can cause feuds between alliances who are ranked 10 and 11, where they fight for power and position to be able to compete in the UAC event.
If your alliance needs more power to improve it's rank, it is always a good idea to reach out to other alliances and suggest a merge. Otherwise, you may consider looking at the internals of your alliance and ask how you can work to grow your alliance from within and with the players you currently have. This may be by sharing tips, resources, and working together to empower each other however you can.
The Alliance Store is filled with useful items. The store can be stocked by R4 or R5 members in an alliance.
Honor Points are accumulated by your lord when you participate in certain events with your alliance or you make donations to Alliance Knowledge. Honor Points can be used when healing troops in the Alliance Hospital or by buying items out of the Alliance store.
If your alliance has an Alliance Hospital, it is in your best interest to save your Honor Points to heal your troops. Some alliances opt out of having an Alliance Hospital, if this is the case you can freely spend your Honor Points in the Alliance Store without worry of not having enough honor points to cover the cost of healing your troops.
Creation Crests are items that can be embedded into your creation's equipment. These are extremely important to pay attention to as refining them can have a drastic impact on your attack power, defense, hit points and parry damage. As you progress through the catacombs the game will automatically reward you with crests for completing floors. It is up to you to embed the crests into your equipment and refine the crests to their maximum level.
As a strategy of using crests to proceed through floors in the catacombs we suggest to use the Warrior talent tree paired with executioner equipment. When refining the crests, refine each crest equally until all of your crests are level 4. At this point, proceed to refine Defense (Steadfast) and Hit Points (Recovery) crests. As you do this, each crest will carry you further through the 8th level until ultimately you will be able to complete 8-10 by either enhancing your equipment, refining your crests and doing creation research (or a combination of all 3).
By refining your crests you will find that you creation can become much stronger relatively quickly.
The Catacombs in Guns of Glory have recently been updated to Catacombs 2.0. The updated version of the Catacombs offers a more entertaining story line and more inspiration to explore deeper through the catacombs then in the previous version. Major changes that have been made include updated background scenes, story line and big changes to the rewards system, how equipment and crests are acquired and how ancient coins are acquired and used. In order to keep this guide as up to date as possible we won't discuss much about Catacombs 1.0 and focus on the newly released update because this is the version that is currently available and Catacombs 1.0 has become obsolete.
The Catacombs are an important part of the game that in the beginning was largely overlooked as just a mini game in Guns of Glory which was largely deemed as boring but the ability to plunder floors or now rooms offered a great opportunity to get vast amounts of Food, Wood, Silver and Iron easily. In order to do this, your creation must be a certain strength, with good equipment, strong chests and at least level 35 experience. With the update, this is largely the same except for the cooldown feature has been removed and replaced with stamina.
In order to complete floors, your creation must have enough Strength, Defense and Hit Points to over come any beasts and the final Guardian of each floor. If your creation is too weak, you will be required to make upgrades to your equipment, refine crests and gain more experience to overcome these beasts. The further you get into the catacombs, to more coins you will receive and the better the rewards.
The catacombs are incredibly important because they offer you an alternative to gathering resources alone and can make large upgrades like your Castle, Wall and expensive Research affordable. The new Catacombs affords you to plunder floors a certain number of times per day. After you have reached the deepest floor possible in catacombs it is important to continue to plunder floors you have previously completed like clock work. Continuing on this path with guarantee you will have a strong creation and receive the most rewards possible in order to strengthen not only your estate but your army as well.
The Spirit Mines in Guns of Glory are a great test of your strength against other players in other kingdoms. Here you will fight for your place in Crystal Quarries, attempting to gather as many Lazarus Crystals as possible. These crystals can be traded in for many valuable items including Gemstone Fragments, Airship Experience and Components, VIP Points, Resources, Equipment Design Fragments, Material Chests, Aristocrat Badges, Craftsman Tools and more.
When playing in the Spirit Mines it is important to know your limits. There will be certain level mines where you will last only a few minutes and others where you can gather for a full 10 hours at a time. What level mine you choose to gather is may largely depend on how much time you are willing to put in holding crystal quarries.
If you are very busy and have things to do in real life, you should gather in zones where you are comfortable that you won't or will be unlikely to get kicked out of. If you have free time and want to collect as many crystals as possible, you can venture deeper into the mines and look for open spaces or other players you can kick out of the mines.
When battling other players for a position in the mines, you will notice that your stats, march capacity, guards, equipment and airship all play major roles in who will win the battle for a Crystal Quarry. In some cases, small changes to your airship or troop formation will mean the win or the loss of a mine. If you are more interested in collecting Laurus Crystals then resource tiles, it can be a good idea to update your Talent Tree for War. These war stats are carried over into the mine. For the largest effect, you can update your talent tree, apply buffs, keep your best equipment on and use a March Capacity wonder and Talent. Once these are applied, they will remain until you reset the Spirit Mines.
The building and upgrade stage can be won by anyone in the kingdom, whatever size your castle. Some may think that smaller castles have an advantage over bigger castles to rank first in this event but that is largely not the case.
Save all of your resources between gathering stages and use everything you have collected on this day only.
Save all speedups you collect between upgrade stages and apply them all to building or research projects on this day only.
Speedups can be acquired through the Alliance Store and Expeditions Store and after you get the ball rolling, you will receive many speedups by simply progressing through the Building Expedition and Research Expeditions. To progress through these expeditions simply upgrade a building and apply Glory Banners to it. Alternatively, to acquire speedups through the Research expeditions complete as much research as possible in the Combat I and Combat II trees. These research trees affect your stats in the research expedition. Development, Economy, Defense, and Creation research will not help you progress through the Research Expedition.
Use speedups first on buildings that allow you to use Glory Banners and on Combat I and Combat II research. After you have run out of resources look for any additional upgrades you can do that have little or no cost (by using Splendor or Opulence Equipment and Scholar Gemstones or Savant Gemstones).
Ask your alliance leader or an R4 to use Rapid Researcher and Building Booster to receive a 20% reduction in Build and Research time.
The King of your Kingdom should use the Building Boom and Bountiful Kingdom skills to reduce building and research time an additional 20%.
Use equipment that has Research Speed and Construction Speed improvement stats, ie. Hat of Prosperity and Merchant Shoes.
Use the Development Talent which reduces build time by 20% for 5 minutes. There is a short window of time to use this but apply as many speedups as you can to your buildings during this time!
Use Guards to reduce the amount of time to research and the amount of time to construct a building. Galileo can reduce building time by 25% and research time 20% or you can use Voltaire and Dr. Van der Beek to get similar results.
Temporary Wonders can also be applied to reduce research and building times. The temporary Wonders can be purchased and used for a limited time to reduce time by 20%, switching between the Architects Compass and Book of Sciences as needed.
The total amount of speedups you use, amount of resources you have and total number of buffs to reduce build and research time will all affect your ranking in this stage. The player who applies the most upgrades and accumulates the most amount of power will ultimately take #1 in this challenge.
The Astrologer Stage is the most forward out of all the stages. Simply spin the wheel to accumulate points. Each time you spin it uses 4 sooth stones. These can be acquired in Daily Reward treasure chests and other places in the game. Entering the Tarot Reading or bonus round of the Astrologer Wheel, you can accumulate more points by using Tarot Stones.
Completing full tarot readings and spinning the Astrologer Wheel as many times as possible can give you a #1 ranking in this event. While many people may consider this event boring, you can accumulate resources, speedups and other items while participating, so it's a good idea to use whatever stones you have.
This is a great stage to take part in if you are upgrading your troops! It is entirely possible to rank #1 especially if you are upgrading your entire army. In most cases you might only train enough troops to receive the main reward, but if you have recently upgraded your buildings and are ready to switch over your army from T9 to T10, you can have your entire army converted in all of 15 minutes.
Normally, the process of upgrading your army in this fashion can take days, weeks, even over a month to get your army just the way you want it. But, by utilizing Troop Training Stage and some clever tricks, you can do well over a month of training in just a few minutes!
Use equipment that increases your training capacity and reduces training cost, ie. Iron Helmet, Ring of Protection and Heart Locket.
Reset your Talent Tree to Balance, applying as many points to Troop Training Capacity and Training Speed as possible.
With all of these benefits stacked in place, you can quickly convert an entire army in minutes and gain millions in power, even if you have several hundred thousand troops to upgrade.
This part of the Gold Event largely determines the Top 10 players and who will receive the best rewards, however to be a part of the Top 10 at the end of the Gold Event can come at a cost. Even if you performed extremely well in other stages of the Gold Event, if you do not perform well in the Kill Event you will quickly get pushed out of the top 10. So it is up to you to determine whether you want to take part in this part of the Gold Event or not.
If you are participating in the Kill Event here are some things to take into consideration while playing as both skill, strategy and being able to act on a moments notice will affect your outcome.
Acquire discounted Advanced Teleports and Random Teleports in the Market Stall in the week(s) prior to the Kill Event.
Prior to the Kill Event, bookmark locations that will be suitable for you to hunt in.
It can be in your best interest to hunt in groups or with reinforcement troops from a stronger castle before leaving your hive.
When attacking, you should usually scout first and if you are concerned about getting attacked while you are attacking another player, use a strategy that entails attacking with all of your troops, which may include multiple marches.
To take a break during the kill event, use a 2 hour peace shield. After the peace shield drops, you are free to attack again without penalty.
Killing higher level troops is more effective and will give you more points than killing low level troops.
The Kill Event portion of the Gold Event lasts 3 Days. Some kingdoms have Ultimate Alliance Campaign (UAC) during this event, while others have Kingdom vs Kingdom (KVK). Established kingdoms generally have peace during this time in order to take part in the other events.
The Gift Envelope in Guns of Glory is hard to receive and almost always costs money unless the developer gives it away as a gift. The envelope allows you to send certain items to other players, but is pretty limited in what and how much you can send. The Gift Envelope has largely been replaced with the Goods Exchange section of the Trade Station, which allows you to send almost anything you would want to another player in your alliance.
The Gift Envelope can currently be purchased in the Alliance Teleport pack, which provides you with 10,000 Gold, 15 Advanced Teleports, 1 Gift Envelope and an Advanced Teleport Chest to everyone in your alliance.
The Red Guard Key in Guns of Glory will give you a bonus chest every time you successfully attack a Red Guard Camp. The Red Guard Keys can be acquired at the Inn by completing the daily rewards challenges and opening up the Daily Rewards chests where you can receive up to 3 Red Guard Keys per day.
These keys are important to collect and it is important to make sure you always have more than one key on hand. If you begin attacking red guard camps and run out of keys you will not receive the bonus chests and therefore will receive half of the rewards that you would otherwise.
A good way to make sure you have more than one Red Guard Key at all times is to insure that you complete the Daily Rewards challenge in full, each day and that you attack no more than three Red Guard camps in a given day.
Your lord in Guns of Glory is essentially you. Guns of Glory allows users to have up to 5 accounts per person or telephone number. Your lord consists of a unique name, profile picture, motto and ultimately will amass experience and power.
In your lord profile you can choose to display your equipment or have the equipment invisible to other players. Most players keep equipment display off to keep opponents guessing.
Red Guard Camps can be hit be creating or joining an alliance which you or an alliance member can launch. If you take a loss during an attack on a Red Guard Camp, your troops will not be killed and a small amount may end up in the hospital. It is a good strategy to hit higher level Red Guard Camps but not so high that you are losing. You should easily win the battle but always want the highest rewards possible.
You can see what type of rewards a Red Guard will give you by clicking on the specific Red Guard Captain and seeing what chests and resources it provides when you defeat it. It is always better to attack these camps in smaller groups. When you attack in a large group, the total amount of resources awarded for winning the battle are split among the lords who helped to defeat the red guard.
If the total award for defeating a red guard is 500k Food and you defeat him with a single troop from your farm account, you will receive 500k Food to your main account. If you defeat the captain with a large group from your alliance and you deal 20% of the damage, you will only receive 100k food. So it is important to be clear with your alliance what your expectations are with Red Guard rallies, if any.
Different red guard captains also offer different Red Guard Chests. These chests contain various items including Experience, Aristocrat Chests, Food, Recruitment Banners, Bounty Parcels, Speedups, and Crafting Materials. The higher the level the red guard chest, the better your rewards will be.
To receive the Red Guard Bonus Chest you need to have Red Guard Keys in your items before attacking the camp. Every key you carry will grant you a bonus chest, which increases your rewards for each raid. Bonus chests contain better loot than a standard Red Guard Chest. This includes Lord and Airship Experience, Assault Components, Rare Material Fragments, Underworld Keys, 60m Speedups and crafting materials that you can use to create Equipment.
In order to obtain more Red Guard Keys, it is important to complete the Daily Rewards challenges presented at the Inn. You can obtain up to 3 Red Guard Keys per day.
Troops in Guns of Glory are made up of 4 different types. These are Infantry, Distance, Cavalry and Artillery. Each troop is designed for a specific purpose in combat and no two different troops are equal. Each troop has different stats which include Health, Attack, Defense, Speed, Power, Load and Upkeep. It is important to know the differences of each troop type as more of one kind over another might not always be better.
As you can see, every unit has it's perks and utilizing the right troops in the right situations is essential. Artillery units largely have no place is a PVP formation in the Spirit Mines, while on the other side of the token they are essential when attacking a heavily defended enemy estate. Infantry is your main defending unit, so being sure you do research for Infantry defense and health points is essential and over-powering your Cavalry and Distance troops with attack stats bonuses can also go a long way to insuring you win a battle.

Albany, New York (where I live) and the surrounding area have a Dutch
heritage that's at least as visible as that of New York City.  Many of the
old, rich families of the area have Dutch names (Van Rensselaer, Schuyler,
Cortlandt).  Across the Hudson River from Albany is Rensselaer County, which
is basically what used to be the Van Rensselaer patroonship.  The Albany
city flag looks sort of reminiscent of the Dutch flag: it has three
horizontal stripes, orange, white and blue (from top to bottom), with some
kind seal or logo that I've never gotten a good look at in the middle of the
white stripe.  There's a church in downtown Albany that I think claims to be
the oldest Dutch Reformed church in North America.  And every spring we have
a Tulip Festival.  But I have no idea how long it's been since there was a
statistically significant Dutch-speaking population here.
Get your facts first and then you can distort them as you please.

We have just learned that we can become the very children of God. Not just adopted as we understand the term, but children "ex theos", of God. How does that wonderful miracle happen? The Holy Spirit through John tells us in the very next verse. Us becoming children of God is an incredible wonder, but not as wonderful as what makes that transformation possible. We can become children of God, because God became one of us.
John returns to the Logos, the Word and stretches the Greek thinking minds even further. We have already discovered that the Logos has always been God. He is not some being in between God and His creation. He is God and always has been with God and has always been God. Now we discover that He has also become man.
The Word didn't "inhabit" flesh. He didn't just come into a physical body. He became flesh. Through the wonderful mystery of the incarnation, God the Son became man.
He had formed man out of the dust. Muscle and sinew, veins and arteries, organs and bones, skin and hair. Immune system, blood system, nerve system, digestive system, breathing system, communications system all run by a brain processor more naturally complex and powerful than any man made equivalent. Brilliant and beautiful.
Unfortunately a brilliance and beauty that quickly falls into mismanagement, misuse, decay and ultimately death as a result of sin. All who come after are trapped to the same fate. All born with the same potential but heading for the same end. And after death, the judgement.
But God has a plan. He always does. And He sends His Word, His Logos, His One and Only who enters into the womb of a virgin and becomes what He has made.
He became what He has made firstly so that He might live with us, "dwell among us".
The mystery of God's desire, complete in Himself and yet motivated by a passion to include others in His community. Right from the beginning, He has shown a remarkable will to make relationship happen by coming to where we are. Whether it is coming to walk with Adam and Eve in the garden in the cool of the evening, coming to personally talk to Abraham and Sarah or setting up camp in the middle of His people who are newly free from oppression in Egypt, He has demonstrated His heart to take initiative in relationship again and again. This despite the fact that His overtures of love are rejected almost as often. Even though there are individual examples of people who welcome and walk in this miraculous and incredible opportunity, inevitably even then future generations walk away. Not just walk away, but from the beginning people not only have been rejecting the love of God but rebelling against it any way they can, throwing it back in the face of their creator who loves them more than they will ever imagine. They don't just refuse to respond to Him but they go away in the opposite direction and build up fortress walls of rebellion and self centered pride to keep God out.
Again He is complete in Himself. He does not need these people's love and affection. But He does desire relationship with them and He has a plan to fully reveal who He really is through them. He can't reveal who He really is unless there are ungrateful, selfish, arrogant persons who can become objects of His unfailing love and tender mercy.
Mercy has no meaning if there are not sinners to be merciful to. And unfailing love can only be truly revealed if the objects of that love are utterly unfaithful in their response to it.
And so we begin to see the magnificent glory of God's unfailing love and mercy. The people whom He has created have built their strongholds against Him, even though He has never given them any reason to reject Him. All God has done is create us and set His love upon us. Apparently that's not good enough for us. So now we reject Him and build our walls tall and strong to keep Him out.
So what does He do? How would you as God respond?
God is going to reveal to us the full glory of who He is. So He disguises Himself. He becomes one of those He has created. John uses the same word in the Greek that he has used in the previous phrase. Those who receive and believe in the Logos are given the right to become ("ginomai") the children of God. They don't just look like children of God they really become the children of God. And how? That is possible because God made the journey first, in the opposite direction. The Logos became ("ginomai") human, flesh and blood. And He comes to live with us, eat with us, laugh and cry with us, serve and die for us. On our side of the wall. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
He lives with us so that we might see His glory.
The word dwell (Greek "skenoo") literally means to set up tent with, to tabernacle with. As many commentators have pointed out, the Hebrew reader would think back to the wilderness journey of the Israelites and how God had given Moses a design for a tent, a tabernacle. God came to live in that tabernacle, right in the middle of all the people who were tabernacled around it, so that they could see the glory of God in their midst. David put up a tent for the Ark of the presence of God in Jerusalem so that not just the Israelites but all nations should see His glory.
Now He comes again to be among people. But instead of pitching up as fire in a tent, he becomes a man and moves right into their living rooms. Now the glory is not in flames and smoke and cloud but in flesh and blood. The eternal glory of God become man.
And they saw His glory. That word is "theaomai" which means to look closely at, to examine.
The Old Testament saints could not look into His glory. They could not even look at Moses who was only reflecting that glory, he had to put a veil over his face so that the people were't blinded. But now we have the glory of God become a man and we can look deeply into that glory for the first time. "Veiled in flesh the Godhead see" as Charles Wesley wrote.
"Believed in" who? John has introduced Him as the Logos who is life and light in the first few verses. The One who was one with God from the beginning. Now He is revealed by John as the "only Begotten of the Father".
So God is a Father then, that makes sense given that He has brought us to birth and we can become His children. God is a Father and He has a Son (by implication though, the word is not in the Greek) who is equally God. This One and Only has a particularly unique glory. "The glory as of the One and Only of the Father". It is the glory of an only Son and heir of the Father God of all creation.
If a father has many children then you can see different traits of who he is as a father in the different children. One might have his eyes, another his personality, another some of his gifts. Who he is as a person is distributed between all his children.
God the Father only has One, says John.
He is not meaning that no one else can be His child. We have already discovered that we can become part of His family as His children. But his One and Only is totally unique as a Son, not just because He has been with the Father from the beginning but because He bears all of the same traits of His Father.
The Father's traits, His glories, are not evenly distributed between many children. They are all absolutely and uniquely present in His One and Only, who is of the exact same essence of Godhead as His Father. That is clear in the Greek word John uses: "monogenes". All of the genes of the Father in One person.
The writer to the Hebrews puts it this way: "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature" (Hebrews 1:3 ESV).
We have seen the glory of the One and Only, says John. And when we saw the glory of the One and Only, we saw the glory of the Father.
What did that glory look like? What was the glory of the One and Only? What then is the glory of the Father?
John puts it beautifully simply. It is "full of grace and truth".
John's previous paragraph (verse 9-13) was about Jesus coming as light to "everyone" (all of us) and then to "His own" (meaning the Jews, the chosen people). He is telling us the big picture story of Jesus' entrance into the world.
Now, for the first time, it gets personal to John. The Word (Logos) became flesh (sarx) and lived with "us". This is not a universal "us". It is the Greek word "ego", the word used for I and me. This is the "us" that have "seen His glory".
It is personal and yet it is written beautifully so that it is not exclusive. John and the other disciples and close followers of Jesus certainly experienced Him in a unique way. The One and Only of the Father literally came and lived among them and they saw His glory like no one else. However, the reader is not left feeling that this is some club that they can never be members of. No, He also came to live among all of us. We can all see His glory and we can all receive from Him grace upon grace.
What is my point? My point is this. Jesus came for everyone. But He came for everyone personally. He came for every "ego", for every I and for every me. He came for John, for Simon Peter, for Nathanael for Nicodemus, the women at the well, the blind beggar etc. John's gospel is full of personal encounters with Jesus. It is not primarily a gospel of teaching and ministering to large crowds. It is Jesus, the Logos, in the flesh, coming to live with every "me" and showing every "me" His glory. As a result every "me" can receive grace upon grace.
The Word became flesh and came to live with you, on your side of the wall, so that you personally may see His glory, you personally may know who He is (the One and Only exact imprint of the Father full of grace and truth) and you personally may receive from Him grace upon grace. That is simply amazing and totally life changing if we get it.

Inside Madiran the Wine bar: Q and A with proprietor Jacqueline Malenda
by Lenn Thompson on April 25th, 2017
Jacqueline Malenda inside Madiran The Wine Bar. (Credit: David Benthal)
It's rare that a sixth-grade science fair project predicts one's career, but that was the case for Jacqueline Malenda, proprietor of Madiran the Wine Bar in East Setauket. While her classmates were growing sugar crystals and measuring electrical currents, Malenda made wine with grapes from the supermarket.
With her parents' help, she made that single bottle of 8 percent alcohol-by-volume wine using household items like a potato masher, cheesecloth, pitchers and a funnel.
"After making a presentation at the science fair, I came home with the blue ribbon. And the faculty drank my bottle!"
Malenda's career progression from 12-year-old winemaker to sommelier and wine bar owner wasn't direct. A lot can — and did — change between sixth grade and adulthood.
The Old Field native graduated from St. Anthony's High School in Huntington before earning a law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law in Hamden, Conn. She worked for local firms and in the Suffolk County Attorney's office, but didn't enjoy her law career.
All the while, she read every wine book she could get her hands on. She bought and tasted as much wine as she could, too.
"Honestly, I didn't realize early on that a real career in wine could be in my future. It had never occurred to me," she said.
After deciding to change careers, she studied for and passed a Court of Master Sommeliers exam.
With the goal of eventually opening her own wine bar, she later took a job at Molto Vino in Babylon. The job provided her first restaurant experience but, more important, it's where she met Michael Armetta, who would later become the chef at Madiran.
In early April, Malenda and Madiran celebrated their first anniversary as one of Suffolk County's premier places for a glass (or bottle) of delicious or interesting wine.
Q: There aren't many wine bars on Long Island — and even fewer great ones. What made you open Madiran in a small strip mall in East Setauket?
A: The city is a bit far when all I want to do is go out for a few glasses or a bottle of esoteric wine. Over the past several years in the industry, I realized that offbeat wines are of a particular interest to me, and there weren't really any places on Long Island to find these products, particularly by the glass. So each time I wanted that kind of wine bar experience, I had to ride the railroad nearly two hours each way to the city, and I thought, why not bring that sort of thing back to my own community? It's very doable. A lot of people in the industry advised me to be careful because central Long Island might not be the most open-minded or wine-educated place for a concept like this. But by our one-month anniversary, we had a good idea of the open-mindedness in Setauket. The location seemed ideal and I believe it still is. It's right in the heart of town, between Port Jefferson and Stony Brook, near three hospitals, a university and lots of businesses.

Q: Why "Madiran"? That's not a wine region that many people know.
A: I chose the name Madiran because at my first master class as a sommelier, led by Master Sommeliers Fred Dexheimer and Scott Carney, several years ago, all the young sommeliers were led into a cellar room at Morton's on Fifth Avenue, and when the doors opened, the intensity of the wine aromas struck me in a way I've never felt before — and most of the wines in that room were Tannat-based wines from Madiran [in southwestern France]. It's as if they were calling to me. And I was inspired by them. Smitten, actually.
Q: Unlike so many local bar and restaurant wine lists, you also have some well-chosen local wines. What wines do you have on the list right now and why?
A: I still like to make sure that some local wineries are represented in the wine bar. Regarding New York, I work with Macari (sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and cabernet franc), Lenz (gewürztraminer, chardonnay, merlot and cabernet sauvignon) and Shinn (Wild Boar Doe, mainly a blend of cabernet and merlot) from Long Island, and the Shaw Vineyard (riesling, pinot noir and cabernet franc) from the Finger Lakes. My favorites are the Wild Boar Doe from Shinn because it is lovely, expressive, balanced and so satisfying. The cabernet franc from Shaw because it is so age-worthy, so food-friendly and very expressive of its terroir. Macari makes some fantastic wines and to me they are one of the benchmark wineries on the North Fork. And Lenz is an obvious choice for me because they remind me most of their French counterparts. Oddly enough, I thought customers would be very interested in the local wines, but very few bottles have sold in the first year. It seems they are more interested in trying practically unheard of wines from Europe.
Q: What wines have been your best-sellers to date?
A: The best-sellers by the glass are the Cheverny (predominantly sauvignon blanc from the Loire Valley), Lagrein (a dark, medium- to full-bodied red from Alto Adige) and a Crémant du Jura sparkling rosé. By the bottle, best-sellers include several of the selections in the Madiran section and lots of bordeaux and brunello.

Q: Just over a year in, what has surprised you most about owning and running the wine bar?
A: I think the biggest overall surprise is just how well the concept has been received — a healthy lineup of both traditional and esoteric wines and a lot of customer enthusiasm. I was confident it would catch on, but I had no idea how quickly.
Q: What have you loved the most about the experience? And, what has frustrated you most?
A: I've loved most the opportunity to introduce customers to what will become their new favorites — and up until now they had never heard of these products before. After just one year, my customers could probably shock most wine industry professionals with what they've learned about wines and what they want to drink. I also love the opportunity to surprise everybody with a new wine each chance I get.
What's most frustrating is that due to working with limited production wines, sometimes, after a few customers fall in love with an item, suddenly it is no longer available, either because production is so small or because the products here are not national brands. So sometimes they part ways with a distributor and there's no telling when the wine will become available in the United States again. I hate disappointing the customers when that happens.
Q: What's next for you and for Madiran?
A: It's only been a year so it's hard to say what's next. I've recently started teaching monthly wine classes at the wine bar. I'm building up the reserve list. I'm rotating the wines by the glass even more often. We've made some seasonal changes to the food menu … but I'm not one to sit still for long and my customers and staff know I'm full of surprises. So what's on the horizon? I never place limits on myself and so all options are always on the table.

The powerful partnership that makes Chronicle Wines so good
Robin Epperson-McCarthy and Alie Shaper named their company, Chronicle Wines, for the story behind...


Life will throw storms at you of all varieties. You may find yourself facing health challenges that are overwhelming. Because of someone else's decisions, a relationship may be in crisis. Due to changes in your company, you may lose your job. Circumstances and life events bring storms of many kinds.
How can you be calm in the midst of the storm?
Jesus and his disciples were in a boat one day on the Sea of Galilee. A furious storm came up on the sea, and the winds and waves were beating against the vessel. The seasoned fishermen in the boat and the others were afraid they were going to drown. What was Jesus doing? He was asleep in the boat!
How could Jesus be peacefully resting, calm in the midst of the storm? There is only one reason: Jesus knew that everything was going to be OK because God was in control of the storm. Jesus was at peace. He was calm. He did not get anxious. He was not worried.
So what about you? When life's storms come your way, are you at peace and calm, or are you anxious and worried? As followers of Jesus, you can look to heaven, dive deep into God's Word, and learn from the example of Jesus. Remain calm in the midst of the storm. Hold on to Jesus. Pray to him. Ask him to give you peace. He will.
Jesus has the power to calm the storm around you, and he will do so if it is his will. Jesus also is able to calm the storm in your heart and mind, even if the external storm continues. He will give you peace and strength in the midst of the storm. He will keep you calm.
A word to spiritual leaders: If you have a group of people around you that are going through storms — perhaps your family, your friends, your small group, your church — then help them to remain calm in the midst of the storm. Lead by example. Encourage them. Speak words of hope to them. Help them to stay focused on Jesus and God's power over the storm.
To everyone: I hear you. Your storms are real. It's the friend that has turned their back on you. The family member that says they don't care about you anymore. The boss that overlooked you for a promotion. The coach that cut you from the team. The news from the doctor that you didn't want to hear. The bills that are so big you don't know how they will ever get paid. God knows about your storms. He's right there with you. He cares. He's calm. He's in control. Trust in him. Have faith in him. Remain calm in the midst of the storm.


1. Put the shoes on/put on the shoes-- When we used a noun, say shoes, we have two choices. One it to put the "noun" between the verb and proposition; the other is to put the "noun" after the proposition.
2. Put it on--When we used a pronoun we have only one choice That is to put the "pronoun" between the verb and proposition.
My question is why we can not put the pronoun (it) after a proposition?
Most transitive phrasal verbs are separable, which means that noun objects can go after the particle (look up a word) or between the verb and the particle (look a word up). If the direct object is a pronoun, it must go between the verb and the particle. This is a rule which must be followed.
It's a rule. That's all there is too it. Most rules in languages are arbitrary. The answer to 'why' is often 'because English speakers do'.

"This is a loaded question. That varies depending on where you live, how much pasture or woods you have, if things are fenced correctly for the animals and what types of animals you are considering getting among other things. Probably the first principle when you are starting out is to start small when you are getting to know a new animal. For instance, we have been raising bottle calves for years and just took the step to raise a heifer for breeding her. Why not just start with some heifers? Well, the care of a pregnant animal is a steeper learning curve than just the care in general. Then, there is the giving birth part. If a calf gets stuck, you need to be able to pull it. That often takes a full grown very strong man to do that, and sometimes you need to use a tractor and a calf puller. Then, you need to consider that when a cow gives birth sometimes her calcium can dip really low and you need to be able to give her a whole tube of potassium, calcium. magnesium. That's fine. However, when you do that and they suddenly recover, some cows will get up and come after you! A normally gentle cow, giving birth, going down with milk fever and suddenly coming out of it can turn furious without warning. So with little warning, it possible to have a 1400 lb animal out to get you. Are you ready to deal with those possibilities? It takes a year or two of getting to know all the ins and outs of different types and breeds of animals. It is inevitable that one will make mistakes that will cost you money. It is better to cost you less money than a whole lot of money. You can always mow your acreage. For that matter, here in Oklahoma, you should mow in late May or the first part of June, and again in August. This keeps the bad weeds down.
The second principle is to learn about the nutritional requirements of each type of animal and compare that to what you have available on your land. Grazing more than one type of animal is often beneficial because different species often prefer different things. For example, goats like brush and weeds, but sheep like grass. Cattle not only have slightly different preferences their either goats or sheep.
Thirdly, do you have a dry pasture or a wet pasture? What is your ratio of woods to grass? Each of these variants affects how many livestock you can keep on your acreage. Some people will put 10 to 15 head of cattle on 10 acres for a couple of weeks, and then move them to a different place. They rotate the grazing.
Yet another consideration is how much time and money you have to invest in the animals. Before you purchase, think about the price per animal and your budget. Don't spend every penny you have on a whole bunch of animals, and then end up stressed because you can't afford to deparasitize, vaccinate or take animals to the vet. It is better to buy fewer and have extra money than to over spend and be stressed. We've seen people lose thousands of dollars by buying a whole bunch of something that they don't know anything about and then having everything die.
Some people decide they want to make the perfect pasture, so they plant tons of clover….and make it way too rich. We know someone who did that and now they have 50 acres that anytime livestock get on it, they get really sick. The best plan is to go to your agricultural home extension office and have someone come out and evaluate things for your area. Many things are fixed by fertilizing or putting a variety of livestock on that eat things so that the pasture is evenly grazed. When the home extension people come out, they will be able to tell you how many animals you might be able to put on your property. Also, the number of animals land can support varies according to the season.
It is critical to have enough water at all times as well as someplace for the animals to get out of the sun. I have heard of ranchers who cattle because all of their ponds dried up and they couldn't provide enough water.

All arriving passengers who have stayed in a risk area for more than 24 hours are obligated to undergo two tests for the detection of COVID-19 after arrival in Iceland with a quarantine between tests. Children born 2005 or later who travel with parents/guardians go into quarantine with them. The first test is at the border and the second one 5 days later. Children born 2005 or later who travel alone are obligated to undergo a test after 5 days in quarantine upon arrival. The quarantine is lifted when a negative result (virus not detected) is obtained from the second testing.
Connecting passengers who do not go beyond the respective border-crossing point neither have to quarantine nor undergo testing. Connecting passengers who go beyond the border-crossing but stay in Iceland for less than 48 hours are allowed to quarantine instead of undergoing a test according to this provision.
Those who have confirmed with PCR-testing or antibody testing from an EU/EFTA state that they have previously had a COVID-19 infection are exempt from quarantine. All those who present a valid international vaccination certificate for full vaccination with an approved vaccine against COVID-19 are exempt.
A certificate is required to include the following details:
Be in the Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or English language.
First name and last name (as in travel documents).
Date of birth.
When test was performed (date).
Where test was performed (country/city/address).
Name of laboratory/issuer of certificate.
Date of certifcate.
Phone number of laboratory or responsible authority.
Type of test performed (PCR-test or antibody test with ELISA/serologic assay**).
Result of test (PCR-test positive for SARS-CoV-2 or antibodies present).
Travel restrictions Icelandic borders are open to the residents and citizens of the EEA and Switzerland, and Iceland follows the travel restrictions of the outer borders of the Schengen area which are in effect at present. Here you will be able to find all necessary information on the travel restrictions applicable for travel to Iceland due to COVID-19.
Pre-registration Pre-registration for arrivals to Iceland. All travellers are under obligation to complete a registration form, follow infection prevention rules and are encouraged to download the Rakning C-19 app (a tracking app). Pre-registration does not constitute travel authorisation.
The Rakning C-19 app The app is used is used to send information on negative results from screening tests and to help track infections if necessary. The Rakning C-19 app – Information and instructions
Border screening and quarantine
The first screening is performed at the border on arrival. Thereafter, arriving passengers are to undergo quarantine for 5–6 days according to the instructions for home-based quarantine or quarantine guidelines for persons travelling to Iceland.
Persons travelling to Iceland may not be picked up at the airport. This includes family members and friends. Arrivals to Iceland must take the flybus, a taxi, a rental car or a private car that has been dropped off at the airport.
Testing at the border is of charge. It is important to read the instructions on the screening process, i.e. the procedure used after arrival in Iceland.
Main points to keep in mind regarding quarantine:
You may obtain necessary medical treatment services on condition of having first contacted your nearest healthcare centre, Læknavakt/1700, the emergency hotline 112 or + 354 544 4113 if phoning from an overseas telephone number.
You may go for walks in less frequented areas but must keep at least two metres away from other pedestrians.
You may not have physical contact with others who share the home and must take the greatest care to ensure cleanliness and try to maintain a distance of at least 1–2 metres when in contact with other members of the household.
You may not use public transport (domestic flights, buses, coaches), only taxis, rental cars and private cars.
You may not go to restaurants, bars or gatherings of any form, such as swimming pools, cinemas, the theatre, shops or other places where large numbers of people congregate.
You may not undertake personal errands or go shopping. This includes pharmacies, supermarkets, post offices, banks, etc. Delivery services are available from Internet shops and restaurants.
You may not go to work or school.
You may not go on excursions and may not drive long distances, except between a border crossing and your final quarantine destination if such location is in a different region.
Subsequent screening and quarantine until the results are sent
Your second screening test will be performed in a healthcare centre. Screening is performed in a number of locations around Iceland. Please note that not all healthcare centres have the same opening hours. Your obligation to remain in quarantine will be removed as soon as you receive a negative result from your second screening.
A positive result will always result in isolation, and in such cases, the instructions on home isolation must be followed. The diagnosis, treatment and the monitoring of notifiable diseases, including COVID-19, is free of charge. This does not apply to optional testing for COVID-19. The second screening is free of charge.
A negative result from border screening does not mean that you can ignore the quarantine obligation if it becomes clear that you have been exposed to infection, such as if you sat near an infected person during aircraft travel. Those who are unexpectedly quarantined and who do not have access to a quarantine facility may take advantage of public quarantine facilities.
On offer is a list of guesthouses/hotels that accept quarantine guests.
Please note that violations of quarantine or isolation rules are subject to fines and the involvement of the authorities to prevent violations.

Britain's nuclear submarine fleet to be painted yellow and moved to Liverpool
The Southport Times can exclusively reveal that the question of where the UK's nuclear submarine fleet will be housed in the event of Scottish independence has been settled.
The four Vanguard class submarines, each carrying Trident strategic missiles, are to be painted bright yellow and moored at the Albert Dock in Liverpool.
The decision was largely influenced by cuts to the Ministry of Defence's budget – as, whenever a submarine is not on active duty, it will generate revenue by forming part of 'The Beatle's Story' tourist attraction.
Apparently, submariners have been ordered to get 'mop-top' haircuts and their uniforms have been changed to 60's style collarless suits, so that they can act as tour guides.
Tourist's will be charged around £20 each, to take a guided tour of a yellow submarine.

[ARCHIVED] Health Department Seeks Feedback on New Kids' Play Space
The Washtenaw County Health Department is seeking feedback for a new play space at their Ypsilanti offices. Residents can have a say in what features are included through an online survey, or at a display at the Health Department at 555 Towner Street, Ypsilanti 48198, both open through Feb. 18.
The Washtenaw County Health Department is thrilled to create this play space through the KaBOOM! Play Everywhere Challenge, supported by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation. KaBOOM! is the national non-profit dedicated to ensuring all kids have access to great, safe places to play. The Play Everywhere Challenge is one of their initiatives that transforms public spaces and creates opportunities for active play where kids need it most.
"We know that our physical building doesn't currently reflect how welcoming and innovative our staff and programs truly are." says Susan Cerniglia, community health promotion administrator at the Washtenaw County Health Department. "We hope to create opportunities for kids and people of all ages and abilities to be active in an entirely unexpected place."
Thousands of local community members visit the Health Department site, just east of downtown Ypsilanti, for health services like WIC, immunizations, help with insurance, or to visit the neighboring state department of health and human services. There are fewer opportunities for play and recreation in Ypsilanti and southeast Washtenaw than in other parts of the county. This project will increase opportunities for all residents to live as healthfully as possible.
Proposed play features include outdoor musical instruments, a play farmers market, a seesaw that's accessible for children with disabilities, and interactive sidewalk art.
"We want to transform the way we all think about and interact with our public space and services," says Cerniglia. "We need input to make it the best space possible for our community."
The Play Everywhere Challenge is part of the broader Built to Play initiative led by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, which provides more opportunities for free play throughout Western New York and Southeast Michigan. The Challenge will award grant winners a total of $720,000 to create lasting, scalable design installations that will provide more opportunities to play for the kids who need it most.
The Washtenaw County Health Department is partnering with Washtenaw County's facilities and administration, Parks and Recreation Commission, Office of Community and Economic Development, and Community Mental Health, as well as the City of Ypsilanti.
Learn more about the project and find the survey at www.washtenaw.org/play. The play space is expected to be complete by August 2019.

US ambassador links India's civil nuclear initiative to Iran vote
President Bush with India's Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, during their meeting in the Oval Office in July 2005
The United States Ambassador to India, David Mulford, has reportedly hinted that the U.S. civil nuclear energy pact with India may face problems getting approved by Congress if India refused to vote against Iran at the upcoming meeting of the United Nations nuclear watchdog committee.
The nuclear pact was made after a July 2005 policy shift by U.S. President George W. Bush that offered cooperation in India's development of civilian atomic power industry in exchange for its support of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) nonproliferation standards.
The U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack stated at a Wednesday briefing that, "The ambassador was expressing his personal opinion about what the potential political outcome might be. He was giving his personal assessment of how the Congress might react to such an action by India." McCormack added that, "We certainly would encourage and hope that they (India) vote for referral this time around."
The IAEA is scheduled to meet February 2 to discuss Iran's referral to the U.N. Security Council over its resumption of uranium enrichment. The U.S. claims that Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons, a claim that Tehran denies.
India's foreign ministry rejected any attempt to tie its stance on Iran to the deal with the U.S. on acquiring nuclear know-how.
India has previously supported the IAEA's declaration in September of 2005 that Iran had failed to comply with its international obligations.
The U.S. also opposes the negotiations, begun in 1994, on a proposed gas pipeline between India and Iran which is intended to provide India with increased energy capacities.

Like its cousin the carnation, the Mini Carnation (or Spray Carnation) is a flower that has been loved and cherished for years and is still a favorite today. The same as its cousin, the mini carnation is part of the dianthus genus and is available in a wide range of colors, from pink, to white, to yellow and purple, each color being associated with its own meaning.
Just like the carnation, mini carnations are one of the easiest flowers to care for. Start by planting these mini's in an aptly fertilized and well-draining soil. Make sure to also expose them to the sun for several hours a day because they love to soak up the rays. Keep their soil moist without overwatering. You can tell if you overwater the carnation plant because their leaves will turn yellow. Also, when caring for the mini carnation, be careful of ethylene gas because they are very sensitive to it and usually die from too much exposure.
Mini carnations are the more popular choice of this flower family when wanting to send carnations as a potted gift. They grow between 6-8 inches tall, making them a fun and fitting gift for any occasion. Florists also prefer this flower over single stemmed carnations for boutonnieres and corsages, as they are subtle yet classy. The mini carnation is a popular filler flower as well in bouquets because of its multi-bloom stems which give it a fuller appearance.
The largest carnation producer in the world is Columbia.
Carnations are the formal flower for those with January birthdays.
Carnations cannot naturally produce blue petals. This has to be done through plant breeding.
This flower was often a favorite to be used in Greek ceremonial crowns.
The state flower of Ohio is the scarlet carnation.

A-ROADMOVIE
JUST A MOVIE BLOG
The one hundred Best Horror Movies Of All Time
The growth in slasher movies offered sufficient materials for numerous comedic spoofs of the style together with Saturday the 14th , Student Bodies , National Lampoon's Class Reunion , and Hysterical . The Amityville Horror is a 1979 supernatural horror movie directed by Stuart Rosenberg, based mostly on Jay Anson's 1977 e-book of the identical name. It stars James Brolin and Margot Kidder as a young couple who purchase a home they arrive to search out haunted by combative supernatural forces.
Martin Scorsese mentioned that The Queen of Spades is a "beautiful film" and certainly one of "the few true classics of supernatural cinema." And Dennis Schwartz of Ozus' World Movie Reviews referred to as it "A masterfully filmed surreal atmospheric supernatural tale". In 1941, Universal Pictures launched a reboot of kind to the studio's 1935 werewolf image Werewolf of London which starred famous character actor Henry Hull in a quite totally different and extra refined werewolf make-up. 1941's The Wolf Man, however, was extra well-liked and influential.
Ravenous starring Guy Pearce and directed by Antonia Bird is a "quirky" and grotesque movie based on the true life horror story of the Donner party that obtained stranded within the Sierra Nevada mountains in 1847 as a result of snow. The movie The Last Broadcast served as inspiration for the extremely profitable The Blair Witch Project , which popularized the discovered footage horror subgenre. The theme of witchcraft was additionally addressed in The Witches , starring Anjelica Huston, and The Craft , a supernatural horror film directed by Andrew Fleming.
Simultaneously, Universal also launched a Spanish-speaking version of the movie known as La Voluntad del Muerto (The Will of the Dead Man). The film was directed by George Melford who would later direct the Spanish model of Dracula. Both The Cat Creeps and La Voluntad del Muerto are considered lost films.
Best Hollywood Horror Movies Of Recent Times
The character of Larry Talbot aka The Wolf Man is taken into account probably the greatest classic monsters within the sequence. The title character has had a great deal of affect on Hollywood's depictions of the legend of the werewolf. In 1937, Universal Pictures solely launched one movie in the collection. The movie was Night Key, a science fiction crime thriller starring Boris Karloff. In Night Key, Karloff plays an elderly inventor of a burglar alarm who makes an attempt to get back on the man who stole the income to his invention.
Although predominantly science-fiction, the present's paranormal and Kafkaesque events leaned the show in the direction of fantasy and horror. The phrase "twilight zone," is used today to describe surreal experiences. An iconic episode which premiered on 20 November 1959 is Time Enough at Last which tells the story of a financial institution teller who yearns for more time to learn and gets his wish when he turns into the only real survivor of a nuclear holocaust. In 2009, TV Guide ranked this episode #11 on its listing of the a hundred Greatest Episodes.
In the yr 1930, Universal Pictures launched the mystery film The Cat Creeps. It was a sound remake of the studio's earlier film, The Cat and the Canary from three years ago.
Perhaps you've seen one that you appreciated very well but you possibly can't keep in mind the name of this special Korean horror movie.
For all of the spine-chilling tales that horror-meister Stephen King put to the page, so only a few share a similar influence in stay-motion, and such an achievement is a small fraction of what suspends Stanley Kubrick's The Shining high above all other horror films.
With this in depth listing of one of the best Korean horror movies, you are positive to seek out some horror motion pictures that you simply've by no means seen.
That properly-balanced wave of antagonism worked completely in opposition to Jodie Foster's career-high efficiency as Clarice Starling, and the film's cat and monster-mouse sport doesn't let up until its harrowing climax in the dark.
Wolf is a 1994 romantic horror movie following the transformation of a man (Jack Nicholson) into a werewolf. In South Korea, the success of supernatural horror film Whispering Corridors by Park Ki-hyung, sparked the explosion of Korean horror. This subgenre could be mined by dozens of more and more violent motion pictures all through the following decades. Sean S. Cunningham made Friday the thirteenth , Wes Craven directed A Nightmare on Elm Street , and Clive Barker made Hellraiser .
Aside from 3-D know-how, totally different forms of promotional gimmicks were used to entice film-goers into seeing the films in theaters. One nice example is through the screening of 1958's The Lost Missile, a science fiction film by which scientists try to cease a mysterious missile from destroying the Earth. Audiences who noticed the film in theaters got "shock tags" to monitor their vitals during the movie. They have been promised that anybody who would get shocked right into a comatose state by the movie would get a free experience house in a limousine. The Queen of Spades is a fantasy/horror film about an aged countess who strikes a bargain with the devil and exchanges her soul for the ability to at all times win at playing cards.
The Changeling is a 1980 Canadian supernatural psychological horror film directed by Peter Medak. Suzy (Jessica Harper, proper) and Sara (Stefania Casini, left) in Suspiria, an Italian supernatural horror film. In tv, the animated mystery Hanna-Barbera collection Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
The sequence facilities on a bunch of youngsters and their dog who go to deserted places to resolve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures by way of a series of antics and missteps. The animated collection' easy formulation had a serious impression on future slasher films particularly of its portrayal of villains in masks. The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) has turn into a staple in horror fiction since its premiere on October 1959. Each episode presents a standalone story in which characters discover themselves coping with often disturbing or uncommon occasions, an experience described as entering "the Twilight Zone".
The Omen, Ring, Insidious, Children Of The Corn… the horror genre has extra creepy children hanging around than a Young Conservatives meeting. But rarely is kinderhorror as efficient as in Spanish director AJ Bayona's debut function, by which sack-headed children hang-out a couple attempting to find their lacking adopted son.
Later, his gadget is then subverted by gangsters who threatens him and use his own device to facilitate burglaries. Letterboxd users name the movie "a delightfully corny, old school thriller". A month after the release of Bride of Frankenstein, Universal Pictures premiered the influential werewolf movie Werewolf of London, the first Hollywood mainstream movie to function a werewolf, a creature of folklore who shape-shifts from a human right into a wolf. In the movie, he is a botanist who gets attacked by an odd animal.
Different Techniques Employed By Horror Films On The Audience
Annihilation is one other profitable science-fiction horror film. Hereditary follows a family haunted after the demise of their secretive grandmother. Midsommar , also by Ari Aster (who directed Hereditary), is a folk horror film which follows a bunch of associates who travel to Sweden for a competition that occurs once every 90 years, only to find themselves within the clutches of a pagan cult. Assassination Nation follows a group of teenage girls who are focused in a social media witch hunt that spills the darkest secrets of the whole town's residents, resulting in mass riots and violent killings among the many citizens. The movie is a socio-political horror thriller that tried to address issues such as poisonous masculinity, trigger warnings, slut-shaming, sexism, violence towards girls and transphobia.

Arrive on time for Class – There is no set punishment for late arrival. However if you miss integral parts of the warm up or movement demo/skill session, please do not be surprised if the coach asks you to do burpees instead. Also, and this should go without saying, but there will almost undoubtedly be some sort of public shaming. We are all adults, please be respectful of everyone else that manages to get to class on time.
There is No I in Team! Think of your gym mates as a team. Cheer them on, encourage them, support them. If someone is finishing last, cheer them on instead of just putting your stuff away (one day IT WILL BE YOU!).
Gym Clothing and Closed Toed shoes are required! Please do not try and work out barefoot.
Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Empty Barbells, Plates (rubber and metal), clips, Boxes, Rowers, Assault Bikes should not be dropped from any height. In fact, unless it is a barbell loaded with the appropriate bumpers or a wall ball, just don't drop it….ever.
Please control your barbell at all times. If you lack the skill to drop it from overhead safely (both to you, your neighbors, and the equipment). Then (a.) lower the weight on the bar immediately and (b.) have a coach show you the proper way (controlled to the floor) to put a barbell down.
Please clean off all Chalk and Sweat from equipment after use. Think about the next person an hour behind you that has to grab that barbell that you just grinded 3lbs of sweaty chalk into to the point it became a sweaty pasty mess. (now what if that person an hour behind you was YOU! You would probably grab a different bar.) There are towels and disinfectant to wipe down the various pieces of equipment in the gym. Please use accordingly. There is a soft bristle brush for wiping off the barbells.
Chalk Usage………Please keep it to a minimum. We realize this is asking a lot. We know that upon seeing a bucket of chalk, that everyone wants to channel their inner Lebron James and walk out to a cloud of chalk explosion. Please resist this urge. Please use the chalk in the bucket and keep it in the bucket. If you are not sure how to use chalk, please see Justin.
Please keep all gym bags and belongings neat and out of the way.
If you are lucky enough to have a cubby, please do not violate this privilege by keeping smelly or rotting stuff in there. Knee sleeves should go home after every workout to be cleaned, shoes need to be aired out, wrist wraps need washing, water cups and bottles flat out don't belong there. Please see a coach if you have a question about this.
Have Fun. We are having Fun Working out. Let's not overthink it. Have Fun, Be Safe, introduce yourself to your neighbor. Don't forget to Laugh occasionally!!


Joint tenancy is a type of home ownership where everyone on the title has an undivided interest. For example, if two spouses are on title to the house as joint tenants, they both own equal and undivided shares of the property.
In Massachusetts, a tenancy by the entirety is a form of ownership that is very similar to joint tenancy but is only available to married couples. It arises between a married couple when a single instrument (a) conveys property to both of them and (b) states that they take the property as spouses, "tenants by the entirety."
Both forms of tenancy require unity of time and unity of title.
A joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety is especially attractive to married couples because such tenancies create a right of survivorship. That means when one joint owner dies, his or her interest passes automatically to the surviving joint owner(s) without it having to go to probate.
Pro-tip to married couples: Always pay extra attention to the way you take title when purchasing a home, since not every form of ownership has the right of survivorship.
Of course, it's not uncommon for couples to call it quits before death does them part.
If the couple divorces, a tenancy by the entirety is converted into a tenancy in common.
Under a joint tenancy, a spouse may destroy the joint tenancy (and turn it into a tenancy in common) by selling his ownership position in the property to another party. Note: unlike joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety does not allow one spouse to convey his/her interest to a third party.
Remember, a tenancy in common includes no right of survivorship and must be divided according to the rules of the probate court.
For more information on what form of ownership is best for you, you may want to consult an experienced real estate attorney.

The Rommel Factor - The War in North Africa 1940-1943: During WWII the North African Campaign would be a pivotal point in the war, providing a proving ground for weapons and strategies used in the final two years of the war.
North Cape: Convoy Battles in the Arctic, 1942-45 is a simulation of the convoy battles fought in the Barents Sea during World War Two. The game is played in several scenarios, each of which simulates one of the historical convoy battles in the Arctic. Each side must attempt to find and locate enemy positions and complete their missions. The objective in the game for the German player is to sink the largest number of enemy merchant ships possible. For the Allied player, the objective of the game is to bring the greatest number of merchant ships to the Soviet Union.
Duel on the Steppe is a simulation of the Winter Campaign in the Ukraine, from January 29th to March 17th, 1943, known as Operation Star and Gallop, in which the Soviets arrayed their incredible numerical advantage against some of the best units in the German army.
Tobruk uses the same system as Sedan: The Decisive Battle for France, May 1940. Tobruk is a simulation of British Eighth Army's Operation Crusader, the attempt to relieve the Tobruk garrison during the period from November to early December 1941, with each turn representing two days.
An intermediate-complexity wargame, designed by Brian Train, of what that people call their "War of Resistance Against Japan," specifically covering the struggle from the initial Japanese invasion in July 1937 to the end of 1941. The game is for two players, one directing the military forces acting to defend China against the Japanese, and the other commanding the forces of imperial Japan. The game can also be played with a third player taking the Chinese Communist forces.
A two-player, low-to-intermediate complexity wargame that simulates the American liberation of the capital of the Philippines in World War II, which took place from 3 February to 4 March 1945.


The disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
"Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven. What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

World Cup Expansion Fund
The International Quidditch Association is proud to announce that in preparation for World Cup 2016 this summer, it will be launching a brand new initiative, The World Cup Expansion Fund, to increase participation on an international stage by Emerging Areas and Developing Members.
There will be a fair application process, which will be open to all quidditch national governing bodies across the world; including member leagues, developing members and emerging areas. The applications will be reviewed by the World Cup organising team, in collaboration with the IQA's Executive Team. A maximum of two nations will be selected for the initiative for World Cup 2016.
Applications should include:
A covering letter explaining why the National Governing Body should be selected for the fund.
A strategic plan detailing how attendance at the World Cup will assist growth in the nation, and what the National Governing Body will be doing to support this growth. This should be no more than five pages.
A budget for how the National Governing Body intends on spending the fund. This should include quotes for flights, accommodation and other necessities as required.
After making the selection, IQA administrative staff will work collaboratively with the selected partner organisations to create an effective crowdfunding campaign aimed at the wider quidditch community. The campaign will aim to raise €1000, to be split equally between the partner organisations. The IQA will also meet however much is raised by the campaign – meaning if the campaign reaches its target of €1000, the IQA will also donate €1000 to be split equally between the partner organisations. If the campaign exceeds this target, the IQA will continue to meet it, up to a maximum of €1500.
Applications for the fund will open on January 1st 2016. Applications will close on January 21st. Applicants will find out if they have been selected by February 1st, with the kickstarting aiming to be launched in late February.

If you've never been down to us at JFA, here's what to expect on the day of tune – whilst a lot of it seems obvious, we felt it'd offer people that bit of comfort in knowing exactly what to expect – no surprises, or panic struggling to find us first thing.
With all of these things done, head down to us. Make sure to leave plenty of time, as traffic onto the estate can be awkward in peak times and add as much as 20mins to your journey!
Park up outside & head in – remember to ring the bell on the desk to let us know you're here, we may be in the dyno cell or on a phone call & the bell will ring upstairs too. Sounds daft, but if we don't know you're there…it's difficult to serve, and a dyno centre is a noisy enviroment!
We'll then take your keys, and go through any questions you might have about the process – don't be afraid to ask questions, everyone has something they're unsure of!
Feel free to grab a coffee, and make yourself comfortable on the sofa. A lot of people like to wait and watch, have a go on the race simulator etc. We'll try and keep you comfortable, or if you need a cab we can arrange this for you too.
The only thing we ask is that you don't try and enter the workshop at any point. It's for your own saftey & we cannot carry out any work with you in there.


We know that after seven years on the most famous show in the world, Game of Thrones' cast members know how to stop leaking spoilers.
However two original cast members have forced us to ask a seemingly unthinkable question: did Maisie Williams and Lena Headey just give away how the series will end? We'll forego a Trial by Combat and look at the actual evidence to answer this very serious accusation.
Williams shared a very interesting photo on her Instagram account announcing she had filmed her final scene for the show. We can read a million possibilities into what bloody shoes mean for Arya, but there are only a couple of ways we can read her first hashtag.
"Last woman standing." Seven bloody hells, Maisie! Are you the last woman on the show to finish shooting, or do you mean Arya is the only lady of Westeros still alive at the series' end? (Or much, much worse, the last one to die?) That photo and hashtag alone would be enough to send us into a theorizing frenzy, but as Twitter user The Extraordinary Xilla noted, Lena Headey took this inflammatory post and threw a whole bunch of wildfire on it. Look at the comment she left.
"QUEEN." Like, Arya becomes queen of Westeros? (Maybe alongside Gendry?) This….this is not funny. Waiting a whole extra year for the final season is already hard enough without this added stress.
Now before we take this as sure-fire proof, Headey has done this before. She once shared an image hinting at the arrival of a certain Lady with a heart of stone who never showed up.
Of course, not every post of hers has proven to be a joke, since she did foreshadow a major death from the book would also happen on the show.
So what does it all mean for how the series might end? The odds lean towards "nothing." They are far too smart to give away a major spoiler like this so obviously, and yet we can't totally dismiss that they know we know that. So this could be a double fake out, and that's exactly what we would expect from Cersei Lannister and someone trained by the Faceless Men.
So did Maisie Williams and Lena Headey just spoil how the show will end? All the evidence says….MAYBE.
Okay, Trial by Combat it is.
What do you think? Is this a spoiler, or just them having some fun? Tell us in the comments below what you make of this.

Retail Technology
Artificial intelligence and the future of retail
The retail shopping experience is set to undergo a massive transformation in the near future.
By Rodney Weidemann for SAS Institute
Johannesburg, 07 Aug 2017
Visit our company zone
David Cosgrave, Customer Intelligence Lead, SAS South Africa.
The impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and cognitive computing - the latter underpinned by big data and advanced data analytics - is beginning to be felt. Although still in its infancy in South Africa, the manner in which these technologies are being adopted in the developed world suggests that it won't be too long before the retail experience of the future is upon us.
At present, the major challenges facing local retailers, in terms of implementing these technologies, are skills shortages, poor data quality, challenges with analytical modelling and the fact that the analytical value chain has not yet been fully automated and remains manual in a lot of respects.
According to David Cosgrave, Customer Intelligence Lead at SAS, there also seems to be a lack of commitment at board level, which means data scientists are seldom used properly. Add to this the fact that there is an element of risk taking and the potential for failure and it is no surprise why SA still lags behind some of the more developed nations in respect of the adoption of these technologies.
"At the same time, the benefits of being a successful early adopter are huge, as these technologies will enable retailers to gain a substantial competitive advantage, massively increase efficiencies and earn significant cost savings - which can then be passed on to the customers," he says.
"The gains provided by technologies like advanced analytics and AI are such that it will enable large retailers to truly optimise both their stores and their supply chain, allowing them to have the right mix of products, for the right customers, at the right store, at the right price, at the right time."
In terms of supply chain management, think about how simple this technology could make it to, for example, plot a delivery route that only uses left turns. In this way, he continues, the delivery vehicle does not have to turn across traffic, which leads to improved fuel costs and time efficiencies. Reducing supply chain and delivery costs means the retailer can reduce prices, which will naturally attract more customers.
"Moreover, this is just the start. As AI becomes more pervasive and is used in more areas, so the ecosystem becomes bigger and the benefits it offers businesses become greater. We are not that far from having self-driving vehicles, thanks to AI. Now think of the route example outlined above and consider that the delivery truck is driven by an AI - it will mean the vehicle itself is driven at maximum efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and wear and tear, reducing the retailer's costs further."
"In-store it will be the same, with AI and analytics working together to reduce the pain of shopping, by eliminating queues, enabling the shopper to find what they want quickly and ensuring that stock is optimised so the store has what the client wants."
Cosgrave explains that an example of how a future, optimised store would work is that facial recognition technology detects when the consumer walks through the doors. The retailer already has an idea of the type of clothing they like based on past purchases and the parameters the customer has provided them with, such as height, weight, etc. The client stands in front of a mirror and AI technology immediately 'dresses' them in an outfit based on their preferences and unique style. The customer can easily flip through colours and styles without once having to visit the dressing room, or physically having to change clothes.
"Once the purchase decision is made, a robot brings them their purchase and they walk out the store without having to queue to pay, as the retailer already has their card details and the account is automatically debited for the purchase. This is the real future of retail: instant gratification on a whole new level."
The next evolutionary step from here, he adds, will be for the machines themselves to begin asking the important business questions.
"Perhaps the ultimate destination for AI in retail is for the machine to begin asking critical questions like 'how can the business improve its profitability?' In other words, instead of an analyst testing various hypotheses to determine optimal outcome, the machine does it automatically. Obviously, it does it better because it can rapidly process thousands of possibilities. It then identifies the problem, analyses the reasons why this is occurring and potentially even implements measures to rectify this - all without a human being involved at all."
"While the above possibilities remain some way off, what is important for businesses to understand is that, as with other now-ubiquitous technologies, AI will eventually be embraced by everyone. This includes your competitors, so those who fail to embrace it early enough will find themselves at a distinct disadvantage in the technological retail future that is just around the corner," he concludes.


BiopSafe | Lifeline Diagnostics Supplies, Inc.
BiopSafe makes everyday life easier and safer for doctors, veterinarians, laboratory technicians and nurses – both when working at the hospital, the clinic or "in the field".
Sometimes the simple solution is the most difficult to spot. One of the most common problems in connection with biopsy handling is the risk of being exposed to formalin either through touch or inhalation. A risk that doctors, veterinarians, laboratory technicians and nurses are exposed to every day. With BiopSafe the problem is finally solved.
With BiopSafe there are no difficult formalin bags and wall holders that often leads to formalin waste. The system consists of a small, easy to use container (vial) with formalin capsuled in the lid. When the biopsy is placed at the bottom of the container, you screw the lid on and gently apply pressure with your thumb, allowing the formalin to flow out and cover the biopsy. Everything is done inside the container and no formalin is released in either liquid or vapor form.
Besides from being safe, the method is also fast. BiopSafe- is always at hand and the process of placing the biopsy, adding the formalin and making it ready for transportation to the laboratory is done in a matter of seconds. BiopSafe saves valuable time and at the same time ensures that concentration is not broke unnecessarily during operations.
As well as causing irritated mucous membranes and allergy, formalin is also a carcinogenic substance. Therefore it is very important to secure a safe working environment when handling formalin. With BiopSafe the handling is done in a hermetically sealed system providing the best protection for the staff. The staff is never exposed to formalin in liquid or vapor form, not even during the process of on and off screwing the lid.
When the biopsy is placed at the bottom of the container, you screw the lid on and gently apply pressure with your thumb, allowing the formalin to flow out and cover the biopsy. Everything is done inside the container and no formalin is released in either liquid or vapor form.

Tibetan bowls massage
The purpose of these special massage with bells is to stimulate and balance the energy centres.
During the massage the person is lying down and are supported on his body bells in various acupressure points. The bells are affected and made play. Body soul and spirit are stimulated by the sound of fine vibration produced by the metal bowls.
The sound of Tibetan bells is generated from various metal alloys. They are beautiful instruments. For centuries, they were produced throughout Asia, with different methods.
The massage
The massage exercised by the sound of those bells has an even greater value, as is put in direct contact with the sound of planets.
The "planetary bells" are distinguished from each other for a different sound vibration that, in certain situations, is in connection with the duration of the revolution of a planet or other astronomical cycles.
This relationship between the sound of bells and planets was discovered and formulated by the Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto in 1979 and is known as the "Eighth cosmic law."
The action of a bell planetary reaches the effect that corresponds to the principle of the planet on which it depends: it vibrates in resonance with it, at a level of energy.
Everything takes place in silence and meditation. The rest during treatment is very deep, and there are possible changes in body, soul and spirit. It is that massage is not limited to the body, it must be done by competent people and environments suitable.
