Turkey expects creation of Syria security zone in few months, Erdogan says
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the Ankara government expects a "security zone" to be created in neighboring Syria within a few months as the United States withdraws its troops from the war-torn Arab country.
"The zone should be aimed at protecting our country from terrorists not protecting terrorists right beside our border, and should be established within a few months," Erdogan said n a speech in Turkey's eastern province of Erzurum on Friday.
"Otherwise, we will definitely form this safe or buffer zone ourselves. Our only expectation from our allies is that they provide logistical support to Turkey's effort," he added.
"Our patience has a limit," Erdogan said. "We will not wait forever for the fulfillment of the promises given to us."
Since 2012, Turkey has been calling for the establishment of a safe zone of 30-40 kilometers between the northern Syrian towns of Jarablus and al-Rai in a bid to drive out Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and to protect civilians. However, the plan has not come to fruition so far, Presstv Reported.
Erdogan and his US counterpart Donald Trump held a telephone conversation last week, where the Turkish leader expressed Ankara's determination to establish a safe zone in northern Syria.
Trump has suggested creation of a 30-kilometer safe zone along Turkey's border with Syria, but has not specified who would create, enforce or pay for it, or where it would be located.
Ankara has been threatening for months to launch an offensive in northern Syria against US-backed YPG militants.
Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist organization and an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been fighting for an autonomous region inside Turkey since 1984.
The Turkish military, with support from allied militants of the so-called Free Syrian Army, has launched two cross-border operations in northern Syria, dubbed "Euphrates Shield" and "Olive Branch", against the YPG and Daesh Takfiri terrorists.

PDP crisis: How G-5 alliance may affect Makinde's second-term bid
in News, Politics
Seyi Makinde
The second term bid of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is being threatened by the continued insistence of the G-5 governor to work against former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Naira redesign: Cash-strapped, Nigerians groan!
Makinde is the only first-term governor among the quintet – Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Samuel Ortom (Benue).
Although Ortom, Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu are seeking senatorial seats, Makinde's ambition is the most threatened considering the dynamics of Oyo politics.
The state is controlled by many political gladiators that it is difficult for a single politician to be the major determinant in an election.
Makinde won the 2019 election on the strength of a coalition of gladiators who wanted to oust the then-ruling APC and stop late Abiola Ajimobi from installing a successor.
Despite Makinde's insistence on not supporting Atiku, some leaders of the PDP in the state, including a former Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Wole Oyelese, and a former Minister of State for FCT, Chief Olajumoke Akinjide, have all declared support for Atiku.
An Ibadan-based political affairs commentator, Rasheed Olanrewaju, said if not well-managed, the opposition might take advantage of the crisis in the PDP to take over the state.
"Seyi and his advisers need to think through their actions. It is a dicey situation. If Tinubu wins the presidential election, the momentum might favour APC in the state, especially those PDP leaders working for Atiku who might work against the governor to pay him back.
"If Atiku wins without Seyi's support, it is also dicey because the APC candidate, Teslim Folarin still enjoys a good relationship with some leaders in the PDP, where he was until 2017. So they can decide to work for him and negotiate his return to the party after the poll, ensuring PDP still controls the state. Some PDP stalwarts are already campaigning for him," he said.

You may have noticed on previous posts we are big fans of babywearing. I love carrying my little lady!
Babywearing is something I only discovered this time around and it wasn't even something I had heard of when I had James. Since finding out about it and getting our first wrap we have been converted and it has been a life saver for quick trips like the school run and getting that closeness Evelyn craves!
Don't get me wrong we do still own a pushchair and we like our pushchair too, Its great for longer trips, days out and of course bunging all the shopping in the large basket underneath!
However Evelyn is so desperate to look around and has been from just a few weeks old so being up in the sling has been great for her. I feel like for us it has really helped strengthen her neck muscles and of course keep her entertained whilst walking about.
We chose the Close caboo nct as our first carrier when Evelyn was first born and it was so easy to use, you simply pop it over your head and put it on like a t-shirt (over your head and then your arms through the 2 gaps in the sides).
I love the closeness we get from being snuggled up on our walks, As I mentioned above our wrap has been a life saver for things like the school run. Once we are parked up the school run is a short 5 minute walk, barely enough to warrant getting the pushchair out of the boot for. With the wrap I can pop it on myself before we leave the house then simple place her in it when we arrive. I don't have to struggle with the pushchair and she is happy looking around!
Not to mention the extra exercise you get from carrying baby (especially as they get bigger lol)!
Of course babywearing isn't for everyone and that is totally understandable, just like all parenting choices they are personal and unique to each parent. I would say though if you are undecided then it really is worth a try, You may love it just like us!
Sadie - "The reason I decided to buy a liberty stretchy wrap was because Poppy has chronic colic and silent reflux couldnt put her down and she rarely slept. Meant I had my hands free to do odd jobs and absolutely loved carrying her since."
Lauren - "I started carrying my last baby when she was about 4 months old. She was always a high needs baby and wouldn't be put down. It was a practical thing. As she got older I really enjoyed trying out many different makes and models of wraps and carriers as there are so many beautiful ones. I also began to notice how much of a close bond my child and I had developed due to carrying her so much. I've really looked forward to baby wearing my newest baby this time around because of that. She's a much calmer contented baby than her sister was. I'm not sure if that's just her general personality or partly because she's been carried close to me since birth."
There are so many choices of wraps and carries out there that it can seem daunting to start with and prices can vary massively so if you want to try something out before you commit why not pop by and check out a local sling library. The people at the sling librarys will have lots of carriers and wraps to look out and try out and some will loan out (for a small cost) wraps so you can try them at home for a short while before committing to a wrap or babywearing.
My little sister is due her second in January so I'll have to get her one of these in preparedness!
i have 2 year old and a 7 week old. ive been babywearing with the new baby because my toddler still uses his buggy quite a lot and i hate double prams. i love it!
The slings look really strong and comfortable - the closeness is lovely too.
We have just bought a Tula as I love the idea of carrying Molly more. We love our pram but sometimes you just want to be up close with your baby when out for a whole day.

Only three years ago, Hofesh Shechter, the Israeli-born, London-based choreographer, made the leap into the big leagues, almost overnight, with his Uprising/In Your Rooms double bill. The following year he produced a "Choreographer's Cut", a bulked-up version in the Roundhouse, part dance, part gig. 2010's Political Mother was received with rapture, so what next? Yes, of course, another Choreographer's Cut, this time Political Mother in an amped-up version with 24 musicians and 16 dancers in front of a Sadler's Wells audience, the front stalls removed and transformed into a wannabe mosh pit. Fine choreographer, and canny marketeer.
The piece starts with a section of Verdi's Requiem, string players appearing suspended in the dark on a transparent balcony, each seemingly isolated. Then, a static burst cuts them off, and thrash, above them appear guitarists and percussionists; thrash again, and more percussionists below – Phil Spector never imagined a wall of sound like this. All this has taken place behind an empty stage; now a lone man, a Japanese warrior, unsheathes his sword and kneels, slowly, ritually, committing seppuku. Another blackout – which is typical of Shechter's cinematic-like love of blackouts and cross-cutting. Two men enter a triangle of light to perform what seems like a folkdance, but a folkdance on acid, febrile, stuttering, shimmering, as though electricity is coursing through their bodies. A demagogue appears above, ranting incomprehensibly in front of lighting that mimics Leni Riefenstahl's films.
And now we are away. Shechter's subject is the vagaries of power, the shifting alliances, moving swiftly between subjection and oppression, victims and perpetrators. It is never clear entirely which is which, and that is of course his point. He uses his core folk-inflected vocabulary to sketch a picture of the people and their need for freedom, but in an eye-blink he then transforms their arms raised in joy to the raised hands of the prisoner; similarly the folk-stamp switches from rustic vigour to that of the prisoner pounding the exercise yard.
The only other contemporary choreographer who relies on folkdance as much as Shechter is Mark Morris, and the differences between the two are illuminating. Morris loves folkdance for its formal qualities, its geometric parsing of space: if you will, its classicism. Shechter is interested in its emotional content, perhaps a more obvious route to take, but one no less potent for that. And both men appreciate its tribal rhythms, whether it is Morris's masterpiece, Grand Duo, or Shechter's prisoners finding the light.
Shechter limits his dancers to a small palette of movement – the raised or flailing arms, the skipping step, the hitched knees; often they all move in circular shapes, marking a regular pattern. Shechter is one of the few contemporary choreographers who has a natural flair and love of massed movement, in all its glorious complexity. These patterns he builds become elemental, tightly pounded out and meshed to his own music, and, even more, luminously displayed in Lee Curran's brilliantly theatrical lighting design – a tour de force which builds a world which Shechter can then people. Indeed, one of the best things about Political Mother is precisely the tight integration between these two – take away either element and it would all fall apart.
While the piece, the choreographer and the creative team are all admirable, it might be wished that this Choreographer's Cut had developed a little further since the piece's first outing. The start is slow: Shechter's method of cumulatively building out of small episodes means it takes nearly a quarter of an hour before we are underway. While this method does, ultimately, reap rewards, it wouldn't hurt to get there a little faster. Occasionally, too, the skittery, jittery dance elements become etiolated, slightly effete, compared to the thrusting nature of most of the choreography: one trio resembled Moe, Larry and Curly attempting folkdance – not a good look. The ending, too, still doesn't work – after the prisoners see the light, the cryptic message "Where there is pressure, there is folkdance" illuminates the stage, the pulsing beat uncoils the dancers into a final folkdance enfilade – and then the lights go out, and we get another puzzling five minutes of dance, undoing all that has been achieved.
But this is not to deny the sheer visceral thrill of Political Mother, or the enormous artistry that has gone into creating it.
I was tremendously disappointed with Political Mother. Uninspiring, bland, repetitive. I might even have put it down to the idea that perhaps the dancers all had food poisoning, had it not been obvious that the choreography was just downright poor. The different sequences were samey and, although different things were generally happening in each, there was little to commend each idea. Don't get me wrong - the concept of political oppression is a worthy subject for a performance. But neither Hofesh Schechter, nor his troupe of dancers, did it justice. I've found before that in good dance productions, one or two of the dancers will really impress on me and become notable characters in their own right, but I didn't find that to be the case with Schechter's troupe. The nearest I got was some guy in dreadlocks and the least charismatic Woman in a Red Dress I've ever seen.
Absolutely! Really surprised at the positive reviews. Shame as the production and staging were absolutely phenomenal.

Costa Ricans arrest resort guard in death of Florida woman
Posted 4:21 PM, December 5, 2018, by Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A security guard at a Costa Rica Airbnb rental villa was arrested in the death of a Florida woman who was remembered by friends as an avid world traveler and "happy soul," authorities said Wednesday.
Carla Stefaniak of Hallandale Beach, Florida, went to the Central American country to celebrate her 36th birthday but never boarded her Nov. 28 return flight after messaging friends that it was "pretty sketchy" at her resort. That prompted her family to raise the alarm with Costa Rican authorities.
Officials later found a partially buried body in woods near the Villa le Mas complex and identified it using fingerprints, the country's Judicial Investigation Department said. Stefaniak's family members also traveled to there to help with identification.
Security guard Bismark Espinosa Martinez, 32, was arrested in the slaying after he contradicted himself in statements to police, the department said Wednesday. Investigators said blood was found in his nearby apartment.
"What happened to Carla is just unimaginable," friend Bugra Demirel of Tallahassee said in a telephone interview. He said Carla was a "happy soul" who made everyone laugh and had a large social media presence.
Espinosa Martinez, a Nicaraguan immigrant, was working as a security guard at the complex despite lacking the proper documents to be in Costa Rica, department officials said at a news conference in San Jose. He is believed to have lived in Costa Rica since June.
Airbnb removed Villa le Mas — a compound with seven vacation apartments — from its site and said Wednesday that it had reached out to family members to offer condolences. Villa Le Mas's attorney, Federico Jenkins, said the owners are cooperating with the authorities in the investigation.
Stefaniak, who was an insurance agent, loved to travel and post photos on Instagram. Her trips included visits to Iceland, Switzerland and Mexico, all documented on social media.
For her birthday, she and her sister-in-law decided to visit Costa Rica for a short trip.
As with her other journeys, Stefaniak posted photos on her Instagram. On Nov. 23, she posted a photo of her looking at the ocean that said, "Future resident of Costa Rica." Two days later, her last Instagram picture featured her in a turquoise bathing suit, lying near a pool with tropical plants in the background. "I'm going to miss the place," she wrote.
On Nov. 27 — her birthday — Stefaniak's sister-in-law returned home; the two women had booked different return flights on different days. Stefaniak reserved an Airbnb about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the airport in San Jose for her final night in the country. Language wasn't an issue; Stefaniak was born in Venezuela, then moved to Tampa in 2000 with her family and finally settled in South Florida.
After her sister-in-law left, an Uber driver took her on a tour of San Jose, then dropped her off at the Airbnb around 5 p.m. on Nov. 27.
Demirel said she texted a friend that it was "raining crazy" and the power was out. She added that it was "pretty sketchy here" and included a picture of the Airbnb.
"Everything she did she always shared with friends and that's when we knew definitely something was up as soon as we lost contact with her," Demirel said.
After Stefaniak failed to board her Nov. 28 flight to Florida, the family discovered a troubling detail: she had checked in for her flight on the 26th. The family alerted Costa Rican authorities and launched a social media campaign to find her.
Then came a break: the hotel guard said he'd last seen Stefaniak at 5 a.m. on Nov. 28 and helped her put her bags into a taxi. But then he changed his story, according to Costa Rican media, and authorities scrutinized the details more. The family wondered why she would have taken a car to the airport at 5 a.m. when her flight was in the afternoon.
On Tuesday, a body was found half-buried and covered in plastic in a wooded area about 1,000 feet (305 meters) from the hotel. It was Stefaniak.
An autopsy revealed that Stefaniak suffered a blunt force wound to the head and cuts on the neck and arms.
On Wednesday, her family worked to bring her body home so they could make funeral arrangements.
"It's too much for us," her father, Carlos Stefaniak, told ABC Action News in Tampa from Costa Rica. He showed a photo of his four children — Carla and her sister, and their two brothers. "That's my team. They are incomplete."
Demirel wondered if the culprit planned to harm Stefaniak from the moment she booked the reservation because her profile photo shows she's "beautiful" and she noted in her reservation that she was traveling alone.
Airbnb encourages users to post their photos as an "important way for hosts and guests to learn about each other."
"I want people to know these things happen," he said. "Girls traveling alone make decisions to stay at places. We want them to be aware of their surroundings. But it is hard to have fun and have your guard up at the same time."

Golden Shrimp Plant features showy spikes of white tubular flowers with gold bracts rising above the foliage from mid spring to mid summer. Its glossy oval leaves emerge light green in spring, turning dark green in color with distinctive light green veins the rest of the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Golden Shrimp Plant is a multi-stemmed annual with a mounded form. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Golden Shrimp Plant will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This species is not originally from North America. It can be propagated by cuttings.
Golden Shrimp Plant is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes redness and bumps on the face, neck, and chest. We understand that rosacea can be embarrassing because it affects areas of the skin that are visible to others. We also realize that rosacea can cause discomfort. Therefore, we utilize medication, pulsed dye laser treatments, chemical peels, and lifestyle modifications to reduce symptoms and restore your confidence in your skin.
Rosacea affects both men and women, typically between the ages of 30 to 50. It varies in severity, but almost always causes background redness on the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin of affected individuals. This redness can worsen when exposed to certain triggers. Intermittent inflammatory and pus-filled bumps are another common symptom.
Treatment is designed to combat the specific type of rosacea that affects the individual. Three types of rosacea we commonly treat at our practice are 1. telangiectatic rosacea, 2. inflammatory rosacea, and 3. ocular rosacea. We use a combination of oral & topical medications, lifestyle modifications, laser and light therapies, chemical peels, and surgical procedures to give you the best results possible.
Telangiectatic rosacea causes background redness and involves a tendency to flush or blush easily. It can temporarily improve with topical medications, like Mirvaso ®, that aim at reducing facial blood flow and background redness for several hours. Permanent reduction of background redness can be achieved with pulsed dye laser (Vbeam) treatment. Retreatment every 7 to 10 years can be performed as new vessels form or dilate due to the underlying inflammatory state.
Inflammatory rosacea causes persistent redness, pimples, and visible threadlike blood vessels in the center of the face that can spread to the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. Topical azelaic acid, anti-mite, or antibiotic creams can effectively reduce the inflammation that is caused by this type of rosacea. Quelage peels, performed in the office, can also help to calm inflammation. When topical treatments are not enough, low dose oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline and Oracea ®, can be used in combination with topicals to help reduce inflammation. These oral antibiotics are safe to use because they function at a sub-microbial dose, meaning that you benefit from their anti-inflammatory properties without endangering the good bacteria in your intestines.
Ocular rosacea causes burning, itching, or watering of the eyes. We can improve these symptoms with artificial tears or cyclosporine eye drops. Oral antibiotics can also be used for symptomatic and worsening eye involvement.
Common triggers that can worsen rosacea symptoms are stress, anxiety, heat (from sunlight, shower, or exercise), food (spicy or hot), alcohol, and weather changes (hot, humid, cold, and wind). While avoidance of these triggers can help prevent rosacea flare-ups, we realize that complete avoidance of all triggers is sometimes impractical. Additionally, not everyone with rosacea is affected by all of the above triggers. Therefore, we recommend that you keep a daily diary to identify your specific triggers. Furthermore, we encourage all individuals affected by rosacea to wear sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection, wear sunglasses, moisturize dry skin, control indoor temperatures (especially when exercising), stay well-hydrated, and manage stress.
I just started used Mirvaso for severe redness and it is working but I am not breaking out with the little pimple like imflamation on my cheeks. I also have used and still use at night the Metrogel which will work when used for a long period of time. I was wondering if I could use these 2 medications together or should I just use the metrogel at night and the mirvaso during the day? Thanks so much for your answer.
Tiny little pimples or pustules on the cheeks in individuals with rosacea are the hallmark of inflammatory rosacea. Common topical treatments for inflammatory rosacea are Soolantra and Metro-Cream in people with dry skin, and benzoylperoxide, Finacea or Metro-Gel in people with normal or oily skin.
Mirvaso or pulsed dye laser treat only the widened blood vessels that show as the red background skin in rosacea. Treatments for the red background as well as for inflammation can usually be used at the same time.
Hello Dr. Ringpfeil, For the past few years I have suffered with Rosacea with mild acne on my cheeks (I do have some mild scars leftover from acne during my teenage years 15-20 years ago). I'm very interested in receiving pulse dye laser treatment and am curious if this is something that would work on this condition for my current rosacea and cheek redness.
Pulsed dye laser is exactly for the cheek redness with rosacea. After several treatments 4-6 weeks apart, this background redness is much improved and results stay for several years. Pulsed dye laser treats the inflammatory component of rosacea, which are small red bumps with or without pus, only temporarily. Inflammatory rosacea requires proper hydration of your body and skin, proper sun protection and might even require topical oral anti-inflammatory treatments.
(1) I've seen photos on the Internet of red blotches/bruising on the skin. Does this indicate stronger and therefore more effective treatments? Or can treatments be just as effective without the bruising?
(2) I am trying to become pregnant. Could I still have the laser procedure?
Also, regarding Mirvosa, I've read that it can be extremely effective, but also read anecdotal stories from patients of terrible rebound effects. What is accurate regarding the drug?
Bruising with PDL can be avoided since the V-beam perfecta was created in 2005. However, some people may still develop red blotches can last for several weeks (not bruises).
In general, we discourage any elective treatment during a pregnancy. PDL can safely be performed before you get pregnant.
Mirvaso is indeed very effective as an anti-redness medication. The "rebound phenomenon" described by several who have used it might be true in very few cases. Most of the time, Mirvaso was used at the onset of an inflammatory flare to reduce concomitant redness. The flare progressed because it was not adequately treated by anti-inflammatory agents and the anti-redness treatment cannot treat inflammation.
Background redness is a very common trait in rosacea. It is not known whether it worsens over time. Several factors influence facial redness, specifically heat, sun exposure, stress and certain foods. Long term reduction of facial or chest redness associated with rosacea can be achieved with a series of 3-5 laser treatments. Intense pulsed light provides excellent short term results when you do not have a lot of time before an important event. Periodic maintenance is needed to sustain results. A topical cream "Mirvaso" provides immediate results that last 8-12 hours. Please note that reduction of facial redness by any of these means does not influence your inflammatory rosacea (small bumps). They are best corrected with stress reduction techniques as well as anti-inflammatoiry topical peels, gels lotions or creams or oral probiotics, oral niacin/mineral combinations supplements and anti-inflammatory medication.
If you have rosacea, will insurance cover the cost of the laser treatment? What treatments for rosacea are covered?
Laser treatment for rosacea is highly effective for reduction of background redness and enlarged capillaries. While it can temporarily improve breakouts in some with inflammatory rosacea, it is not a standard treatment. Unfortunately, laser treatment is not covered by insurances for either indication. Insurances cover prescription medicines for inflammatory rosacea such as topical and oral antibiotics and ant-inflammatory agents. Some insurances may even cover a topical prescription medicine (Mirvaso) that reduces redness for 8-10 hours during the day.

Zambia Spy Chief Samuel Nkhoma Dies of Covid-19
by admin | Aug 8, 2020 | Health | 0 comments
Zambia's intelligence chief Samuel Nkhoma died Friday from an undisclosed illness, state radio reported.
But medical sources said he died after testing positive for coronavirus and was being treated at an isolation centre in the capital Lusaka.
Secretary to the Cabinet Dr Simon Miti was quoted as saying Mr Nkhoma died after "being sick for some time and was being attended by medical personnel."
He was last seen publicly few days ago when President Edgar Lungu commissioned a fly over bridge as part of the Lusaka decongestion project.
The number of Covid-19 deaths in Zambia have now hit 200.
On Thursday, the country recorded 21 deaths of the coronavirus with over 7,000 infections so far.
20 Covid-19 deaths were recorded at Lusaka's University Teaching Hospital while another was at the outpost in a populated slum of Kanyama west of the capital.
80 patients were currently admitted to health facilities and 37 were on oxygen support while six where in the Intensive Care Unit.
Health officials were concerned with the low levels of compliance to public health measures against Covid-19 among members of the public and that this is contributing to the increase in Covid-19 infections.
Several people in the capital seem to have gone back to the cavalier attitude of going into public places with much concern.

A: You aren't returning an HttpResponse when you return Error(), so Django can't apply the decorator to it.

In order to use this tool, enter your email address below, confirm the agreement, and paste in the code you want to compile. The resulting .dat file, along with any output of the compile, will be emailed to the address you provide below.
The disassembler version of this tool will be available shortly.
Please understand that this tool is experimental in nature. We've provided it for convenience of those who do not have easy access to Perl. Use at your own risk!
There is also a complete assembler/disassembler user's manual in PDF form available.

will be interpreted as a hex value as well (61346). The leading "0x" is optional in this case.

We decided to post this thread early so everyone knows what to expect for the playoffs well before it happens.
Why not just no Mind Control on workers?
So if this happens the game is over? And that player who got their worker stolen wins?
Yes, breaking this rule is equivalent to a forfeit. if you scan your opponent having terran buildings you can immediately leave and report the game.
oops, I meant to write that "on workers" bit but forgot. thanks!
It actual takes minimal effort to block a base in with cans temps reavers. P is the by far the easiest and most overpowered race on a fastest map.
Really doesn't take that much skill to obtain map control.. lol but everyone knows this. Your just trying to sound like you have skill in this game.. where you and everyone knows if you played a full season as random you would have 50% win ratio.
Next rule will be "no probe glitch recalls" I bet. Noobs (no offence but it's true) making rules about what way you can use units is just crazy and is eventually gonna ruin the game.
FYI mind control on workers is banned in most pro play.
