Artemis was lounging on a bench table, one foot crossed over the other. Hand dangling over his face, an empty pitcher on the table. His body surprisingly comfortable against the hard wood. He probably shouldn't be lying on the table, but he couldn't give a crap at the moment. No one seemed that bothered here either, at least not at the moment. They were pretty used to his antics by now. Most who saw him recognised what was happening.
Unfortunately at that moment in time he was in the process of nursing a hangover. A pretty bad one. All the while attempting to drown it with hair of the dog. It wasn't working yet. Man, I went hard last night, He thought bitterly. He had remembered much. Chatting up pretty girls, some rowdy behaviour, was there a fight? He wasn't sure.
He lifted his hand and opened his eyes to check out his knuckles. There was some scratches, but nothing that indicated he had punched anyway. He could just swatted a thorn bush or something. Who knew, who cared. Whatever it was, one thing was sure. He had enjoyed himself, his lips twitched into a small smile when he thought about it. Definitely worth the headache. He dropped his hand back onto his forehead, covering his eyes once more
"Yo, can I get another bevvie?!" He called out, reached into his pocket with his other hand and slammig some money on the table. He wasn't sure if he wanted to get drunk again, but he knew one thing. One way or another he was gonna get rid of this hangover, and if that didn't happen. Well then he'd just be screwed, he'd had to go home and sleep it off. That was the boring option, Art was seeking something much more fun. At least he wasn't likely to hear anything to Morte, he was always very quiet during him hangovers. It was a bittersweet peace.

Experimenting on some new items that had came in, Quill had found something strange. Something else was in the box that the new items came in, it was a vile that read "Fighting golem" I had some metal dust in it and Quill wasn't so sure it was so he opened it and dumped it on the ground, it then formed a human shape golem. The golem then launched Quill into the main hall where it started to fight Quill forming a crowd around him. The golem then launched him into a wall near someone who looked like he was depressed like his dog just died or something, he would talked to him but the Golem caught up and threw him outside where the battle continued for about a hour.

Wearing an olive green t-shirt and khaki cargo shorts with boots, Leona was on her way to the guild library. She was curious as to how big it was. She recalled the tour Leila gave and the latter's statement that the guild library was not very big. The blonde also wanted to see what information it had on Desierto. Maybe there was an artifact she could retrieve and research for the guild.
Her walk was temporarily interrupted when Quill burst onto the scene, fighting a giant golem that came from nowhere. Quill was about to talk to some guy when the golem picked him up and threw him outside, where the fight would presumably continue. Leona's attention turned to the red-headed guy sitting in the guild hall with his feet on a table.
He looked like he was going through an arduous hangover. Leona did not know whether to approach him or to leave him alone. Curiosity took over and she approached him.
"Hi there. I'm Leona. You must be new here." She said to the stranger.

When punches are thrown and tables are flipped, Art is usually the first one to jump in and start throwing punches. Normally he would just jump forward and take a swing at the closest face, then duck out of sight as the guy got up and punched the bloke standing next to him. Then watched as the fight spread further and further, loving every second of it. But today, today just wasn't the day. He didn't want to be messed with or mess with anyone. He just wanted to chill and burn this hangover off the easy way.
So when he overheard the scuffling, he peeked there was some dude wrestling with a golem like creature. The guy seemed to spot look at him but was soon thrown out by the creature. Art who had been preparing to tell them to pipe down, was actually relieved and relaxed back. Closing his eyes once more, maybe he would actually get some peace now. At least that's what he thought, until a particularly friendly and clearly... female voice broke his domain of solitude.
Art wasn't really one for making friends during hangovers, but there was always an exception to the rule and that was a woman. Lifting his hand to look, he was pleased to see it was in fact a woman, an unfamiliar woman. With blonde hair and a nice frame.
"Relatively new, " He said moving his arm so she could see his face, but not actually moving his position, he was quite comfortable after all. Normally his approach would have been much more forward, but he was hungover, and that meant low energy. She would have to make do with minimal effort, "I'm Art." Art looked around to see if someone had brought him a beer, at that moment, someone came over full pitcher in hand, "You want one?" He asked Leona, deciding maybe company would make his head less sore, especially feminine company.
by Quill Scorchwood 23rd June 2018, 2:05 pm
After completely destroying the fighting golem, Quill walked to where Leona was and said,"Leo can you remind me to find who ever sent the stuff i ordered and rip them in half because that thing was way to hard, oh, sorry didn't see ya their sir, the names Quill Scorchwood. Are you knew here because that doesn't happen often, only when someone opens something like a while of fighting golem." Quill was quiet for a bit kinda leaning on Leona with several marks on his face and arms, all costed by the golem.
by Leona Jarnefeldt 23rd June 2018, 9:00 pm
"Art" offered her a beer. Leona did not want to offend the guy, but now was not the time to be drinking. Not while there was work to be done and mail-order creatures waiting to wreck the guild hall.
"No thanks, Art. I'm probably gonna have to help repair the guild hall. I need to be able to walk straight and use a hammer. Thanks for asking, though." Leona politely declined. Seconds later she felt Quill lean on her. He voiced a request to find out who sent him the golem... and to give the sender some firsthand feedback on the product sent to Quill.
"Did you keep any kind of information from the vendor? Letters, shipping labels, bill of sale, that kinda thing?" Leona quizzed Quill.
by Artemis Dagger 24th June 2018, 2:54 am
Art couldn't say he wasn't a little put off by the fact Leona didn't want to join him for a drink, Was it that early? He glanced over at a wall clock, Okay, maybe it is a little on the early side. He brushed it off though, what did it matter if he was doing a little early morning drinking. People could judge but he didn't care, morning boozing was a small offense compared to some of the reckless behaviour he normally got up to.
Art watched as the guy that had been fighting the golem, came over leaning on the girl he had been talking to. He raised a brow, Were they a thing? He wondered, it was pretty forward behaviour. The air seemed friendly between them, but it was too soon to tell. He took his newly delivered pitcher, and lifted it back. Taking a big swig of it's contents. It's cool bubbly fluid going down a treat, tickling at his slightly sore throat. He let out a satisfied gasp, it was harder to drink with his hangover, normally he would have managed the whole thing. The dull ache behind his forehead begging him not to continue, he ignored it, drown it with dog hair. The guy introduced himself as Quill, depending on the encounter they might have would be the answer whether Art would remember their names after today. Putting down his drink, he raised his arms and rested his hands behind his head.
"Quill and Leona huh? You two a thing?" He asked with a grin, well if he was stuck talking with them, he might as well make it interesting. He watched, hoping for an entertaining reaction.
by Quill Scorchwood 24th June 2018, 3:43 pm
Quill heard what the man had asked and Quill wraps his arms around Leona putting his head right next to her had and said,"Yes we are a thing if thats is what you are asking, and we have a strong bond with each other." He than gives her a kiss on the cheek than looked at the new member right after words, with a big grin on his face from joy.
by Leona Jarnefeldt 24th June 2018, 5:15 pm
Leona quickly caught onto what Quill was doing. She decided to go along with it and see what happened. Hopefully it would not backfire somewhere down the road.
"Yeah, Quill and I go back a ways. Way back." Leona explained to Artemis. Technically speaking, she was telling the truth. Quill and Leona had been part of the guild for awhile. They had known each other for most of that time.
Post n°10
Art watched as the guy confirmed his answer, then proceeded to kiss the girl on the cheek. Beaming with what appeared to be joy. The girl seemed to agree, although Art wasn't picking up on the chemistry. They were close that was sure, but lustful, not so much. The tension between lovers just wasn't there. Maybe they were innocent and in the early stages, maybe it was the opposite and they were past their honeymoon phase. Relationship could go stale after all. Although Art had never experienced that, just seen his pals go through it. Art never did commitment, it was tedious, boring, unnecessary effort. The final alternative was that they were lying, It could've been any of those answers. But the best way to deduce was the push their boundaries.
"Really? You seem pretty cosy." He said, then with a devilish smirk he continued, "Such a pretty lady really needs to be taken care of, do you do that Quill, do you take care of her ?" He emphasized the word in a tone that was hinting of something much naughtier. If they had a intimate relationship, the answer would be clear. If it wasn't, they were bound to have an amusing reaction. Perhaps it was his hangover playing devils advocate, but Art was in a particularly teasing mood. He had nothing against the two, it was just one of those days.
by Quill Scorchwood 25th June 2018, 10:40 am
Quill heard what he says and smirks back at him and say,"I do from time to time, but since are both very busy most of the time, with her jobs and the research I do, its a tad hard to get one in though when we do get to it, well lets keep it at that. Don't want to give you to much details.So why did you join silver wolf, was it for the research and development or was it just to try and pick up ladies." He knows that most of the members only came here because of the ladies but Quill join to help with research and develop some new forging styles to bring back home when he gets to it.
When Quill bluntly asked why "Art" joined Silver Wolf, Leona could not help but be amused. She too was curious as to why he did. She was also amused by "Art" and his deft verbal riposte... the new guy could think on his feet.
Leona briefly thought about why she had joined the guild. It did not take very long to do so. She was somewhat ashamed because the most compelling reasons were selfish.
The blonde wanted the security of guild life and access to jobs that only guild members could get. She wanted a group of friends; if she failed to make any friends, she at least wanted acquaintances. She also wanted a roof over her head and the certainty of knowing that she had access to food.
However, it was not all self-interest. Leona was slowly growing interested in what the guild library had to offer. The guild's mission inevitably involved travel to new and interesting places. She had also made several acquaintances and a few almost-friends, further cementing her bond to the guild. She was brought out of her thoughts by a comment made by "Art" concerning whether Quill took care of her.
"Yeah, Quill takes care of me. When we go somewhere, he watches my back and I watch his. It's a fulfilling relationship." Leona answered confidently.
Quill response was confident and unrestrained, he was playing ball with no shame nor hesitation. Art grinned, the guy had spunk, he liked that. It was at least a somewhat entertaining reaction. Leona's reaction was much more tame, either she wasn't picking up on what he had been implying or she was just choosing to ignore it. He wasn't picking up any flirty vibes from her, normally he'd be in full pursuit, but she's seemed quite straight-laced, he wasn't sure he'd get anywhere with her. It wasn't that he couldn't be friends with a woman, but they often didn't like him because of his treatment of other girls.
Quill's question was tough one, not because he didn't know the answer, but more so because he wasn't sure how he would address it. He didn't feel comfortable enough to go into his history which his family. The truth was he had needed an excuse to move forward from the restrictions of his upbringing. A place he could go to get away, somewhere he could be without being pressured by his grandfather. He was making his own money now not relying on theirs. It was his own form of freedom, he had picked Silver Wolf because it seemed welcoming to all. Even someone like him.
He would never be able to discuss this with Quill or Leona, probably not even after a few beers. He was just something he shut down about, sometimes he could talk to his sister, but it was rare. Art just wasn't one for sharing.
"I guess if I had to give a reason, I'd say boredom." It was the closest they would get to a truthful answer, because the guild was another cure for his boredom. It wasn't a lie. It was then he realised he should probably continue the conversation in some way. "What about you two, why are you here?"
'Art' asked him why he joined, it has been a while since he had join be he knew the reason why,"The reason I joined was so i can learn some stuff about this land since i was born in a different one, then i meet Leona and started being in a relationship with her. We do have each others back when we go on missions but I am stuck with mostly research and dealing with my pets and other companions." He wasn't lying, he was stuck with research mostly because of his biology, other then that he would go on missions with Leona to help her when ever he can.
"Why I'm here?" Leona repeated. She knew why she was here.
"It's a rough world for lone mages. It's true that you keep your freedom and don't have to answer to anyone or deal with guild politics. But there's a big drawback. If you get in deep trouble, unless you're very lucky, you won't have anyone to help you out." Leona started explaining to Art.
"One job was tougher than I thought and could have cost me my life. If I hadn't gotten lucky at a critical time, I would have died. After that close call, I decided to find a guild to join. I chose to join Silver Wolf. The rest is history." Leona finished her explanation.
She was glad that she joined up with Silver Wolf. She was getting a chance to shape the guild's reputation with her own hands. Even though the guild's mission was magical research, she had taken a few solo jobs to both earn money for better weapons and armor and to show the world that Silver Wolf was more than a bunch of mages holed up in an ivory tower. Silver Wolf would not stand idly by and let evil threaten the world or innocent people suffer. Leona taught the slaver Bladdi Maccoi and his master Mutura of the Sands that lesson the hard way.
At first Leona worried that she had joined the wrong guild. She felt out of place in a mainly intellectual guild. As time went on, she realized that even a guild with an intellectual mission would need some muscle from time to time. Leona decided that she would be part of that muscle. She had no regrets about joining ever since then.
Art listened, his face blank as Quill and Leona each took turns to explain their reasons for being members of Silver Wolf. Quill reply was pretty standard, learning and researching . That was the guilds main agenda right, research. Art wasn't sure if he had been fulfilling that duty as well as he could of. He was mainly in it for himself, but that didn't mean he wanted to lose his place here. He would have to rethink his strategy a bit, having fun and letting loose was great and all. But nothing was worse than the dreaded concept of having to go back to his family guildless. Leona casually mentioned being guildless as having more freedom, but in Art's world it was opposite. Being a part of a guild meant his family back off a bit, the pressure alleviated as he was finally doing something... useful as they put it. Although it didn't taken away the possibilities that he might one day have to take over as head of the Dagger household, did he even want that? He honestly wasn't sure.
Leona's response suggested a history that caught Art's attention, it seemed like an interesting one the girl being near death and escaping. Art wouldn't having minded hearing it, but it was also something quite personal, he wasn't sure the girl would be willing to share something like that with someone she'd just met. "Sounds rough, I almost died once, but that was many years ago. Plus it didn't benefit me the way the experience has benefitted you." His voice became slightly bitter as he finished his sentence.
It was a dark time, his fear and anxiety over his power had gotten the better of him. He had tried to end it all, to escape from Morte once and for all. The details of which he did not want to remember, all he could imagine was waking up sitting in front of a mirror, his face contorted like Morte's. Laughing manically. He could try, but Morte would never let him, and that had been a horrific lesson to learn. Art sat up, taking back the remainder of his beer, struggling slightly to finish it. He decided he didn't need anymore alcohol, it wasn't working as effectively as he'd hoped. He sighed, before looking over at the bar staff.
"Well if you wont share a beer, how about a coffee or some grub? I'm done trying to drink away this bloody migraine, the bitch wont drown." He said clearly frustrated. He went on to order some coffee and breakfast. If he couldn't chase it, he would just have to soak it up. He hoped he could keep the meal down, he didn't fancy vomiting all over the place.
Quill opens a portal to Paradise and pulls out a bottle of alcohol, is a bottle of ale called The Hammered Wyrm, a normal ale from his homeland which has a high alcohol count. He pops it open and starts drinking it, to Quill this is nothing."Then you should try drink better drinks, though i wouldn't recommend the stuff i drink. Your body would drop if you even got a sip of this." He takes another swig finishing it, smashing it on the wall right above a trash can. He then said,"You should come help me do some research if you have nothing else to do, might even get some help with that problem ya have." He then pulls out another one and starts drinking it.
by Leona Jarnefeldt 28th June 2018, 11:15 pm
Coffee? Leona could get behind that idea. She would need its energy-boosting properties for research in the library. Some of the books could be painfully dull to read. It would also take a bit of time to find the exact book she needed.
It was not like Desierto was an unknown region. On the contrary, it was infamous as a hive of bandits and slave traders. She knew from her brief time as a captive of Bladdi Maccoi that the slave trade was alive and well in the area. There were also plenty of unexplored caves and ruins in the area, but the bandits kept all but the bravest explorers away. Leona was brave enough to explore it in the name of Silver Wolf.
"Coffee? Yeah. I can do coffee, Artemis." Leona replied to him as Quill pulled out some unknown type of alcohol and began drinking it.
Art nodded at Leona's agreement of sharing coffee with him, he ordered a pot to be brought over as well as a fry up for himself. Fry ups were his favourite, a number one hangover cure. But if he was gone, he would just end up pushing it away, he hoped today wouldn't be one of those days. He hated wasting a good fry up. He winced as the smell of Quills drink hit him, whatever it was, it was strong. He could manage a cool beer, but whatever that was wasn't for him. "I don't drink to die, I drink to have good time." And he had had a good time, the parts her could remember at least. He wasn't naïve drinking better drinks as Quill had put it would get him no where at this point, what he needed was to sober up.
As the food and drink was brought over to their table, the smell of eggs and bacon hit Art's senses like a strong wave. It wasn't enough to make his sick but he needed a moment before he could even think about touching it. He pushed it to the side for a moment, instead waiting as the coffee was poured out for them. He reached forward, taking the spoon out of a sugar bowl they had provided. He scooped three heavy spoonful's of it into his coffee, before putting down the spoon and topping it with milk. He stirred it, consider Quill's suggestion.
"Research as in books and stuff... that's not really my thing. I don't mind the exploring side so much, but I don't work for free. If you can find me a job like that, I'd consider it." He answered, he had never been much of a book work. He wasn't dense, his teachers had said he had the capacity to be a great student if he got his act together. But he hadn't, rebelling in one of the few ways he could. He was more cunning than clever, and that got him by just fine.
"You do know the whole point of this guild is research, don't know why someone would join a guild that's main focus is something they don't like doing. Also I am drinking because i live with 6 people, a dragon that likes to steal from me and 3 other dragons that fight for my attention so sometimes. It's kinda stressful especially since 4 of them are animal girls, and go into heat. Anyway, Leona I need to ask you something, but i will wait until later to ask." It is true, with the newest one its a harder to relax in Paradise since all of them has some weird thing going on that he is dragged into for some reason.
Leona kind of shared Artemis' sentiment. She much preferred exploration and fighting to a sedentary desk job. But she had pledged loyalty to Silver Wolf and she would do research jobs as they came up. Not every job involved kicking down a door and punching someone's face in.
"I'll admit that research can be kinda slow. It takes time and patience. It's not something you can rush, not if you want good results." Leona stated to Artemis. Research was a daunting task. The books in the library were mostly decades old and written in the style of the time, which was dull. Painfully dull. She was about to continue when Quill voiced a request.
"You wanted to talk to me about something later? OK." Leona said to Quill before drinking her coffee. It was kind of strong. She wondered what kind it was.
by Artemis Dagger 30th June 2018, 12:55 am
Quills words only proved to irritate Artemis, he found everything he said to be patronizing, and with his thumping headache growing. He didn't appreciate it one bit. He scowled at Quill as he spoke. "Listen kid, in case you haven't already realised I'm feeling pretty rough, you don't know me, so how about you take down that judgmental attitude of yours down a notch. I said I didn't like research, not that I wouldn't do it." There was more to it that they knew, Art wasn't just another mage, he was a Dagger. A member of one of the oldest and most powerful families in Fiore. There was a reputation to the Dagger name that told you what you needed to know; rich, strong and unpredictable. But Art hadn't told them his surname, nor did he feel the need to. He didn't want them to act differently if they recognised it, he wasn't in the mood for politics, nor was he in the mood for a fight. All he had wanted good company, Quill had originally seemed ok, but Art didn't take kindly to being spoken down to. He had enough of that to deal with outside of the guild.
Quill's complaints about his living problems only annoyed Art more, the audacity was outstanding. This guy was complaining about the animals he had chosen to live with. For Art to listen to this, a guy who had an evil demon inside of him, threatening to devour his soul at any moment. Who upon returning to his home would have to face an onslaught of criticism and berating. This guy really was something. Art decided he wasn't going to reply, because if he did, it wasn't going to be nice. Leona's words were on the other hand much gentler, and encouraging. He's irritation faded a little at her words,
"It just seems pretty tedious to me, I have other ways I can benefit the guild, much more efficiently. I'll do it if I have to, but if everyone's only focused on research. Doesn't that leave weaknesses in other areas, having tunnel vision about things, leaves you blind to what you could be missing." He was never this serious, but Leona was a decent enough girl, so he would give her the respect of a fair response. His grandfather would have been surprised at him, not that he was there to see it. He only saw the crap. He pulled over his plate, beginning to cut up his food. He forked a piece of sausage and egg, before scooping it into his mouth. It was good, and he didn't feel like hurling, not yet anyway.
When Art called him a kid he went ballistic and said,"Kid, KID, how about you NEVER CALL ME KID EVER. I have fought in 2 wars where i have seen my comrades get slaughtered in the most brutal way I have seen, I was shunned because of my status as a berserker, I HAVE DIED AND CAME BACK. What have you done him, probably just indulge yourself in a life full of people that want to have fun with you. I have joined this guild for a education on this lands history and to see why this place has so much magic and rarely any dragons. ALSO NEVER CALL ME A CHILD EVER." After that out burst, he summons Argon Cutter and stabs it though the table and into the ground letting go back to Paradise, Quill as well to paradise as well. The reason why he hates being called a kid is because of the fact children are not taken seriously.
Leona was surprised that Quill had been through so much in his brief lifespan. So had she, but not to the extent he had. She had never fought in a war. The worst she had to deal with was the occasional bandit raid. Quill had been through two full-scale wars.
Leona watched silently as he stabbed the table and then went off to Paradise. The blonde did not know what to say to that. She waited until she was absolutely certain that Quill was gone before speaking again.
"Quill's not a bad guy, Artemis. Really. He's just rough around the edges. He says what he thinks." Leona defended Quill in front of the new guy. Quill was a good guy. He was just really rough around the edges and did not have a very strong filter. She then turned to the subject of the guild because Artemis seemed annoyed by her companion's behavior.
"The guild's mission is primarily research. We do a bit of exploring, but that isn't our main focus. That's in another guild's job description, so we try not to step on their toes too much. We don't want to make any enemies if we don't have to. Silver Wolf's just starting out, so we don't have a lot of influence or members yet." Leona explained. It was true that she got a lot more out of exploring and fighting than she did research. However, she would adapt to the guild mission if it meant staying in good standing with the guild and the Guild Master.

Art had stabbed his forking into some bacon and was just about to bite into it when Quill exploded with rage, Art listened to him, expression non-caring, chewing his bacon as the guy yelled about all sorts. Fighting in wars, watching people die, it was all very dramatic and not the least bit impressive to Art. In Art's eyes no one stood at the grandeur that his grandfather had and frankly his grandfather had taught him that throwing your achievements in people faces was a childish way to win an argument. Art watched in surprise as Quill pulled out as sword, wondering casually if he intended to stab him. Instead the guy proceeded to stab the table, knocking food and coffee everywhere. Art watched with a disapproving frown,
"How Pathetic..." he mumbled under his breath, as the guy and the table disappeared. Quill didn't want to be called a kid, but did a mature person throw a hissy fit from one remark and stab a table. He looked over at Leona who looked shock by the outcome of their conversation. Frankly Quills behaviour showed little care over her well-being, he could have easily spilt hot coffee over her. "Was that really necessary? Are you already? Did food get on you?" He asked her, The bar staff rushed over to make sure everything way alright, Art shook his head. "Some people has no selfish control, Can I just get an egg and bacon sandwich please, plus two more coffees. Plus a table would be good too. You can go ahead and put it on the angry guys tab." He said, before looking at Leona, she tried to defend the guy. But it didn't matter, his actions spoke for himself. There was nothing wrong with having no filter, but blowing up because of a single word used against him, it just didn't impress Art at all. Although Art wasn't that surprised in truth, it hadn't been the first time he words had created an outburst of rage. He was the starter of many barfights an pub brawls, just for the sake of being bored Art rarely threw the first punch though.
Art was distracted by Leona's continuation of their conversation about the guild, "I understand about playing it cool with other guilds, but jobs are open to everyone right? And you seem like a girl who likes to do battle, to be out there in the action.? All I'm saying is just because we have to do boring research doesn't mean we should offer the charade of enjoying it. I don't think the guild should care if we say it's lame, as long as we got on with it regardless. We should be able to have a healthy balance of research jobs and jobs we actually enjoy."

CFPT-FM (106.5 FM, "106.5 Elmnt FM") is an indigenous radio station in Toronto. Owned by First Peoples Radio, a subsidiary of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), it broadcasts music and talk programming targeting the First Nations community, with the former focusing upon both contemporary and indigenous musicians. The station launched on October 24, 2018 as a replacement for the city's Voices Radio station.

History
In June 2017, the CRTC awarded licences for five new Indigenous radio stations in Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Toronto to replace the Voices Radio network (whose licenses were revoked in 2015 due to long-term compliance issues). The Ottawa (CFPO-FM) and Toronto licences were awarded to First Peoples Radio, a subsidiary of APTN, with the Toronto station inheriting Voices Radio's 106.5 FM frequency.

In June 2018, it was announced that the two First Peoples Radio stations would brand as Elmnt FM, and air a mixture of music and talk programming, including popular Pop, Rock, and R&B music. At least 25% of the music played by the station will be by indigenous Canadian musicians. Métis musician Janet Panic was announced as the Toronto station's evening host.

The station officially launched on October 24, 2018 as CFPT-FM.

In January 2022, broadcasters Mark Strong and Jemeni joined the station as cohosts of its morning show.

Hilarious Story: The Name of Abraham's Servant REVEALED!
Dr. Dan Olinger was once an editor for Faith for the Family magazine, a publication of Bob Jones University. It was his (occasional and usually unenviable) task to review unsolicited submissions to the magazine. He had to read these and write courteous thanks-but-no-thanks letters.
One submission, however, caught his attention. It was actually quite good. It was a short piece of historical fiction based on the events of Genesis 24, the story of Abraham's servant searching out a bride for Isaac. The story was well written and interesting, and the added details were plausible and faithful not to contradict any details in the biblical text. The author had clearly paid attention to Genesis 24.
But there was one oddity Dan noticed. The author had given Abraham's servant a name: "Put"—apparently pronounced like the golf stroke ("putt"). "Put" was sent to Abraham's kin. "Put" met Rebecca at the well. "Put" brought Rebecca back to her new husband.
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven.
Dan howled (and I did, too, when I heard this story). The lack of quotation marks and the presence of a capital-lettered word in the middle of a sentence both make the mistake a very natural one. Read it again and you'll see. The only thing indicating that the writer's read is wrong is that "Thy hand under my thigh" sounds incomplete.
One thing I've never heard King James Only folks address is the misunderstandings caused by the differing rules of punctuation employed by the KJV translators. They used the resources available to them. The KJV translators did nothing wrong. But it's not just English words that have changed over 400 years. Punctuation, spelling, and syntax have changed, too. A lot of the colons and semi-colons in the KJV might as well be random symbols—Ƣ Ơ ȹ ʭ ფ. At best, they mean absolutely nothing to modern English readers, even and especially skilled ones. At worst, KJV punctuation can mislead English readers who "read" a different version of the language.
OK, one correction. I was not "the" editor of *Faith*; that was Elaine Fremont, whose memory tenderizes my heart to this day. I was "an" editor, and fortunately in this instance, the one she passed this particular unsolicited manuscript along to.
A capital mid sentence indicates the beginning or a quotation.
In which dialect of English? It certainly does not indicate the beginning of a quotation in current American English.

Heatherwick feared complaints over Routemaster's lack of opening windows would damage studio's reputation
Image: TfL
Newly released correspondence has revealed how designer Thomas Heatherwick personally urged action to tackle complaints of "stifling" heat on the New Routemaster bus after passengers lobbied him direct about the issue, causing concern that his studio's reputation could be damaged by its association with the vehicle.
One of the true "flagship" schemes of out-going Mayor Boris Johnson's time at City Hall, the Heatherwick-designed buses entered full passenger service in 2013.
Initial reaction was positive with many passengers praising the return of rear platform, hop-on/hop-off boarding to London's bus network.
However rising summer temperatures soon prompted complaints about "uncomfortable" levels of heat which many suspected was caused by the decision not to include opening windows and to instead rely on an internal cooling system to regulate temperatures.
With a project so personally associated with the mayor generating sustained criticism, bosses at Transport for London sought to downplay the complaints and resulting media coverage.
Former transport commissioner Sir Peter Hendy repeatedly insisted the New Routemasters were "no hotter than any other bus" and claimed that "the new bus, when the cooling is working properly, is cooler than the equivalent latest ordinary bus."
Sir Peter also told the BBC that it was "a folk myth" to suggest the vehicles were hotter than traditional designs.
TfL's public comments were matched by strong resistance to suggestions made by City Hall that the agency consider fitting opening windows to avoid further negative headlines.
With complaints resurfacing the following year the organisation sought to suggest that some of those behind the gripes were motivated by a dislike of, or political opposition to, the mayor.
However a letter sent by Mr Heatherwick to Leon Daniels, TfL's head of surface transport, in September 2014 and released to this site under Freedom of Information laws rejected this assessment.
The award-winning designer told Daniels that the level of complaints, which included "a number of irate calls to my studio" meant it was "clear that this has not been about Boris-bashing."
"Travellers are simply too hot and uncomfortable in our busses in the hot months of the summer."
He added: "There was a similar level of negative discourse last year and no prospect of any let up in future summers throughout the life of the busses."
Heatherwick expressed concern that "public perception for accountability swings from TfL to Wrightbus, but ultimately to Heatherwick Studio and myself, as it is mostly seen as a design issue."
Although Hendy had put out a statement the previous summer clarifying that it was TfL's decision not to include opening windows, Mr Heatherwick said "this perception has not lasted."
The designer's letter said "a significant part of the problem is psychological," adding that "without the ability to open a window [passengers] feel claustrophobic at their inability to get a gust of fresh air."
Mr Heatherwick said adding "a few opening windows would help passengers experience the heat as an inevitable product of the weather" rather than believing it was "being forced on them by the busses' poor design."
While Heatherwick was keen not to be publicly "at odds with TfL" he stressed that his studio "is dependent on its reputation for the excellence of its design" and so it was important that the issue be addressed either by the fitting of a more powerful cooling system or revisiting the window design.
In a response sent three weeks later, and only after Heatherwick's office had chased for an answer, Daniels suggested that a "workshop" consisting of members of Heatherwick's team, TfL and Wrights be assembled to "look against at both the options."
TfL emails sent in January 2015 to an external contractor confirmed the agency were "looking at improved air volumes and circulation, we are also looking at opening windows and improved Engine bay insulation to reduce radiated heat into the lower saloon."
However by April no final decision on how to address the complaints had been reached, prompting Heatherwick's office to raise additional concerns with TfL.
On April 28th his executive assistant contacted Mike Weston, head of buses at TfL, saying Heatherwick was "concerned that there seems to have been no apparent action and feels that it is really important that we find a way to solve this, especially with summer coming."
The email also raised concern that the issue was beginning to impact on Heatherwick's public appearances, with the sender writing:
"The other thing that is currently happening is that Thomas is giving public talks and people are starting questions about it again and those questions (criticisms) are bound to increase and likely be much worse than last year given that it has not been resolved. How should he respond to people's questions and what action can he say is happening?"
Despite the constant public complaints, Heatherwick's own urging of action and growing political pressure to resolve the issue before Mr Johnson stepped down as mayor, TfL took a further six months to confirm that windows would be retrofitted to all existing buses at an estimated £2m cost to the taxpayer.

The program of the festival comprises a variety of theatrical performances, workshops, lectures, and meetings of curators from a number of European theatres partnered in the international project Atlas of Transitions. The guiding idea of the festival and of the productions presented within it is the development of a social reserve of knowledge and awareness on migration as well as advocacy for intercultural dialogue and a tighter collaboration among European cultural institutions. The following performances will be presented: 'Lawrence of Arabia', dir. Weronika Szczawińska (24.10 with subtitles in Ukrainian and 26.10 with English subtitles), 'Damascus 2045', dir. Omar Abusaada (27.10 with subtitles in Ukrainian and 29.10 with English subtitles), 'Turn on the boiler, so at least warm water waits for me', dir. Alicja Borkowska (30.10 and 31.10), 'Hierarchy of Needs', dir. Mattias Andersson (03.11) – a guest performance by the Swedish Backa Teater from Göteborg, at the invitation of Powszechny Theatre, presented at Nowy Teatr in Warsaw.
Moreover, on 5th November on Powszechny Theatre's small stage, two episodes of the documentary film series 'Saga' (Walking and Waiting) by the collective ZimmerFrei will be screened. Founded in 2000 in Bologna by Anna de Manincor, Massimo Carozzi and Anna Rispoli, the collective mixes languages and art forms in its works – from documentaries
to video art. It creates sound installations, photo sessions, performances, workshops and public art.

The dormant 820 meter volcanic peak of "Old Manado" lies just north west of Bunaken and can be seen for miles around. Topography here is more steep winding walls with cracks, crevaces and caves. Current is often stronger and visitors often larger, big barracuda, trevally and sharks.
A good spot at Pangulingan offers differently shaped reefs, walls and plateaus, often with stronger currents. Fantastic coral coverage and usually huge shoals of fish can be found here. It is one of the better spots in the area. Tanjung Kopi to the north is where to go for the big fish action however currents usually dictate the diveability of this spot.


We saw some of this broadcast last night.
TORONTO - It was a day of unprecedented chaos in downtown Toronto as roving bands of G20 protesters set fire to police vehicles and smashed windows Saturday despite a $1-billion security tab and thousands of police at the ready.
A core group of militant protesters, disguised with dark bandanas, wearing black bike helmets and using what's referred to as a Black Bloc tactic, remained at large after their campaign of violence. Still, police vowed to bring them to justice.
Police in riot gear marched through city streets for hours, pounding their shields in warning as they tried to restore order in a city under siege.
The violence came as leaders of the world's G20 nations met behind the steel and concrete barrier that has earned the city the moniker "Fortress Toronto."
With protesters seemingly running free through the streets, Toronto Mayor David Miller defended how police responded to the splinter groups that broke off from a larger, peaceful protest march.
"A small group of people essentially runs in a deliberate pattern away from that demonstration, a very difficult task to immediately redeploy everybody," Miller said.
"The police have to protect the site where the G20 leaders are."
That appeared to be the strategy, as police held their lines just north of the G20 security zone, metres away from a chaotic scene that saw bank windows smashed with hammers and storefronts destroyed by hurled rocks.
When reinforcements did arrive the protesters were long gone, leaving officers the task of driving back non-violent demonstrators.
"Our streets!" the protesters chanted in response.
As night fell hundreds of protesters mounted a futile campaign. Chanting "To the fence," the group made several attempts to approach the security barrier, but was blocked by riot police at every turn.
Earlier, a newspaper photographer was shot with a plastic bullet in the backside, while another had an officer point a gun in his face despite identifying himself as a member of the media.
The Integrated Security Unit confirmed police fired plastic bullets during the protests.
The chaotic situation saw Toronto police use tear gas for the first time in the city's history, said Chief Bill Blair, who added the city has never seen that level of violence in its streets.
Some 5,100 officers from forces across the province have been tasked with protecting the summit. Security has been pegged at $1 billion.
A thick plume of dark grey smoke hovered above the city's financial district at Bay and King streets after three police vehicles were set ablaze.
When the skies cleared, the damage was laid bare — at least one cruiser was completely gutted by fire and the other two badly scorched. Graffiti was scrawled on bank towers.
Hours later another police car was set on fire — and then another.
The Prime Minister's Office condemned the violence.
"Free speech is a principle of our democracy, but the thugs that prompted violence earlier today represent in no way, shape or form the Canadian way of life," spokesman Dimitri Soudas said in a statement.
Miller made his remarks from the Direct Energy Centre, where international reporters covering the summit are stationed.
Four massive screens suspended from the ceiling showed a live shot of Toronto's silhouetted cityscape dominated by the CN Tower, but not a sign of the chaos in the streets.
"That's what they're showing in here?" he wondered aloud.
Police said more than 100 arrests were made, and that tally was expected to grow through the night.
The hospitals on University Avenue, where the march began, and the Eaton Centre shopping mall were put under lockdown. There were reports of looting at the mall, a popular tourist attraction. Downtown subway lines and commuter trains were shut down at the request of police at the height of the violence.
At the Ontario legislature riot police formed a line, three deep and began moving forward en masse to push back the crowd of a few hundred people.
Several times a group of about seven or eight officers would suddenly break out of the line, grab one of the protesters, handcuff them and drag them back behind the line.
The group chanted "shame" and "the world is watching," while police told them it was an unlawful assembly.
Throughout the city officers had corralled groups of protesters, but there was no sign of the balaclava-clad protesters who caused the carnage.
That renegade group of about 50 people left a trail of destruction down Queen Street West in the heart of the city as they targeted symbols of power, authority and capitalism.
Bank windows were smashed with hammers. Rocks were thrown through several Starbucks coffee houses. TV vans were smashed. Mailboxes were flipped and chucked at windows.
One protester threw a pickaxe through the window of a bank tower like a tomahawk as his posse roared its approval.
"Bomb the Banks," was spray painted on walls.
Another protester was seriously injured after suffering a head injury and was carried away by others.
Store owners were moved to tears on the sidewalks outside their vandalized shops, and parents hurried away carrying crying children.
An eclectic group of about 4,000 people ranging from greying seniors to families with strollers and tattooed hipsters had gathered at 1 p.m. to protest the summit. Things turned violent about 90 minutes later when the smaller group dressed in black broke away.
Black Bloc is often mistaken for an organization, but it's actually a protest tactic according to websites devoted to the method. Protesters dressed normally infiltrate peaceful demonstrations, then change into black clothing and cover their faces in balaclavas or ski masks.
The uniform look makes it difficult for police to identify who perpetrated an act of violence, such as smashing a window or spray-painting a building. Protesters can change back into regular street clothing and go unnoticed by police.
James Ruehle, a 49-year-old contractor from Pickering, a half hour's drive from Toronto, saw the burning of the three police cruisers.
Ruehle was stopped in his truck at the lights at the corner of King and Bay streets in the city's financial district as the protesters approached.
Three police vehicles zipped past the line of traffic into the intersection, where they stopped with lights flashing. A group of about 20 to 30 police then began to congregate but an officer Ruehle thought was a police captain ordered them back.
"The cop was yelling at them 'Back up!' 'Put your batons down!'" said Ruehle.
The police in the cars, he said, then amazed him by backing off, leaving the cruisers running in the middle of the intersection with their lights flashing and doors open.
"It was like an invitation G(to the protesters)," said Ruehle.
"One kid with a helmet and a black suit jumps on the trunk lid of the police car and jumps up and down like a madman."

Hard-core, balaclava-wearing anarchists burned police cars, smashed and looted stores and threw bricks, bottles and bags filled with urine at police Saturday.
Two cruisers were set alight at King and Bay Sts. and another two cars went up in flames on Queen St. near Spadina Ave.
Violent protesters left a trail of shattered glass along Queen St. W. and then up Yonge St.
The stench of their vinegar-drenched clothes, soaked in a bid to ward off any teargas, followed the anarchy through the streets.
Police Chief Bill Blair said late Saturday as protesters continued to trash city streets that 130 people had been arrested and warned his officers would hunt down all the vandals.
He also confirmed that police used tear gas.
Mayor David Miller condemned the "criminals� who vandalized the city's streets, expressing outrage at the way some protesters chose to make a political statement as world leaders met here for the G20 summit.
"We were concerned about people coming to Toronto to deliberately commit violent acts and I have no doubt whatsoever that this is what we are seeing. Torontonians should be angry about it,� Miller said.
Torontonians watched with dismay as the kind of fiery violence that has plagued previous G8 summits played out on their own streets.
More than 30 people were arrested over the course of the day-long protest, which began peacefully at Queen's Park.
But frustrated by an impenetrable line of security forces surrounding the downtown site where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was hosting the G20 summit, activists turned on the city.
Police let them get as far as Queen St. W. and then brought them to a halt.
Skirmishes broke out at several intersections as the officers were pelted with bottles of water, protest signs, urine and manure.
Protesters pulled rocks from gardens and bottles from recycling boxes to use as projectiles.
Some came armed for trouble with bats, hammers, and metal ball bearings.
The TTC shut down subway service on both the University and Yonge lines and told GO Transit to stop trains at the Danforth GO station.
Anarchists from the notorious Black Bloc left a trail of their trademark black clothing along Yonge St., shed to blend in with more peaceful protesters.
Starbucks, Swiss Chalet, American Apparel, Money Mart, all the major banks, TTC streetcars stalled by the protest, media vehicles, and the Zanzibar Tavern and its G-String Summit were all trashed.
Buildings and vehicles were tagged with graffiti ranging from anarchists' symbols to slogans like, "F*** the rich� and "Kill cops.� Protester Lucy, 24, who wouldn't give her last name said she was marching for no cause in particular.
"I'm glad Toronto had the balls to stand up and do something,� she said. "I haven't seen Toronto like this before.� Her view wasn't shared by many Torontonians.
Comedian Dave Regnier was walking up Yonge St. to eat dinner when people started running past to get away from protesters smashing glass.
The protests continued on throughout the afternoon, moving back to Queen's Park Circle where pepper spray was used to subdue activists just a few hundred meters from the seat of Ontario government.
Later, a large crowd gathered outside the security fence at Bay and Front Sts. and the mayhem promised to go well into the night.
Hundreds of gawkers were drawn into the city by the demonstrations.
With camera phones in hand, they gathered behind police in riot gear and snapped pictures as the officers clashed with protesters at numerous intersections.
"I just came out to see what the fuss was all about and to see how crazy things would get,� said Matthew Marr, 19, a professional dancer who moved to Toronto six months ago from St. John, N.B.
The surreal scene included a moment when residents of an apartment above the standoff puts speakers out their window and blared Bob Marley's One Love and other peace songs.
At the south end of the security fence, there was little sign of any discontent, aside from a patient Buddhist monk from Japan faithfully pounding a drum.
But about 100 Black Bloc anarchists in head-to-foot black, leading a core angry crowd of about 300 more protesters, failed to heed the messages of peace and soon were seen destroying store fronts and generally creating the kind of havoc they're known for at G8 summits worldwide.
When the march bunched up at Queen St. W. and Spadina Ave., a call suddenly went out and the Black Bloc could be seen running north through the crowd until they found a police car which they promptly demolished.
Then they took off, breaking windows as they went, until they came across the two cruisers which they torched.
The number of protesters estimated at anywhere between 4,000 to 8,000 was down sharply from many previous summits.
In 2001, a G8 in Genoa, Italy, attracted an estimated 200,0000 protesters — one anti-globalization activist was shot dead by military police, more than 100 people were injured and the damage to the city was extensive.
The U of T's Ella Kokotsis, director of external relations for the G8 and G20 Research Group, who has attended 15 summits, said this level of violence was not expected.
"I'm completely shocked to see what's going on right now,� Kokotsis said. "I'm just surprised that it's happening in Canada, to be quite frank with you, because it's the kind of activity that we tend to see in Europe or we're going to see in the United States but not necessarily here.
Legitimate protesters who work within the law, who attempt to get their voices heard through less controversial means, may feel that their concerns won't be heard above the chaos.
"When this kind of thing happens, it just diverts the entire world's attention to what's going on in the streets, takes away from what G8 leaders have done ... it's going to hijack the discussions, the press conferences, by the prime minister,� she said.
In the days leading up to the summit, city Councillor Kyle Rae told The Sun Toronto is getting all the pain and chain-link fences of international summitry and none of the spinoff benefits.
"The federal government didn't ask us if we wanted to host this thing,� Rae said.
Meanwhile, the G8 meetings in Huntsville earlier in the week brought buckets of federal cash for civic improvements and new facilities throughout the region.
The few protesters who made it to the town offered free hugs.
"Tony Clement isn't a Toronto MP,� Rae said of the Parry Sound-Muskoka cabinet minister.
Liberal extremist at their best. These clowns make SC and Obama look like they are conservatives. It is sad that the liberal media will not tell you what they are protesting against. There are groups like Greenpeace that are intent on putting mankind back in the caves.
It happens every time. Our leaders aren't too smart. They could solve this problem by having the meetings in a 747 as I circles the globe. Source of the departure and destination are top secret. That way the leftist rebels cannot protest because they won't know where to go.
I hope that the G20 reimburse Toronto. Given the history of these events one has to wonder why any city or country would want to host the meeting.
Good thing we don't have conservative extremists. You know idiotboy, like the ones that shoot a man in the face while he's sitting in church, or blow up a federal building, or shoot a couple of cops because they're afraid the government is coming to take their guns.
It's obvious you're not well read. The coverage of the rioting (as described in malahat's post) has been on the website of every news organization that reports.

The indictment alleges that Noble, doing business as Noble Funds Asset Management, engaged in fraud by knowingly misrepresenting that investors' funds – intended to be used to buy stock and stock options – were instead used for unrelated purposes. Noble also failed to disclose that she used previous investors' money to pay her personal expenses and make payments to other investors.
The State Securities Board and the City of Denton Police Department investigated and brought the case against Noble.


A recent update to GregTech nerfed wood collection in Minecraft. It changed the number of planks generated from crafting wood from four to two, halving the production rate for players. A significant change to the game which changes the core balance of resource collection. Because the change is on such a fundamental element of the game it means that many mods that might be running in tandem with GregTech have become unbalanced.
The developer of Tinker's Construct, mDiyo, responded to Greg's changes by releasing an update which undid the changes that Greg had implemented. If you had both mods installed then you would once again collect four planks from wood.
At this point Greg added code to his mod which would crash the game if his changes to wood were altered. As soon as code concerning gathering wood was run then the game would crash.
Clearly, the two developers have a history of adding code to their mods which specifically alters functionality of the other's but mDiyo's was to reverse features, Greg's actively damaged the game.

Out of Africa (1985)
bhavnatalkiesDRAMA, FILMS, ROMANCEKlaus Maria Brandauer, Meryl Streep, Robert RedfordLeave a comment
Is a romantic drama is based on the life and writings of Baroness Karen Blixen ( a Danish woman who wrote under the pseudonym of Isak Dinesen). It focuses on her stint in Africa where she moves to after marriage . It's a slow, leisurely, almost poetic portrayal of complex human emotions and their dynamics.
Cast – Meryl Streep , Robert Redford, Klaus Maria Brandauer
Director – Sydney Pollack
Karen gets spurned by her lover, opts for a marriage of convenience with her lover's brother to avoid a life of loneliness and moves to Africa with him. While she adopts the new life , the new people and her coffee plantations with all her heart, she finds it difficult to cope with her husband's indifference and infidelity. She finds love in Denys , a hunter by profession, who shares the same zest for life as her but not the same understanding about freedom and relationships.
The story has a very poetic start, the narrator and protagonist , being a writer. It follows its own leisurely pace, basking in the beauty of picturesque Ngong Hills of Africa, portrays its native life , people and the life of the white settlers there. It might seem painfully slow at places but the different world it showcases keeps you engaged.
The human emotions , the simple desires, aspirations and expectations of the different individuals forms a complex dynamics. Each one seems right but Karen's loneliness and longing for belonging moves you.
The film is an extremely acclaimed one that won a whopping number of 7 Oscars and nominations in 4 other categories.
Needless to mention , Meryl Streep and Robert Redford are a big charm in this one.

Q: Horizontal bar chart index is off I am creating a horizontal bar chart that shows data from a CSV file dynamically. I am getting an extra space where another value would be, but without any data. I only want the top 10 values(students) plus keys(counties) and it looks like it adds one.

As you can see it adds a space and a small rect at the top. I just want to remove both.
    // Parse Data
    d3.csv("FA18_geographic.csv", function(data) {

        data.sort(function(a,b) {
          return d3.descending(+a.students, +b.students);
        });

        // find max county
        var max = d3.max(data, function(d) { return +d.students;} );

        var map = d3.map(data, function(d){return d.students; });
        pmax = map.get(max);

        // Add X axis
        var x = d3.scaleLinear()
        .domain([0, +pmax.students+500])
        .range([ 0, width]);
        svg.append("g")
        .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
        .call(d3.axisBottom(x))
        .selectAll("text")
          .attr("transform", "translate(-10,0)rotate(-45)")
          .style("text-anchor", "end");

        // Y axis
        var count = 0
        var y = d3.scaleBand()
        .range([ 0, height ])
        .domain(
            data.map(function(d) { //only show top 10 counties
                count = count+1
                if (count<=10){
                return d.county;
             }})
            )
        .padding(.3);
        svg.append("g")
        .call(d3.axisLeft(y));

        //Bars                      //Something must be wrong in here???
        svg.selectAll("rect.bar")
        .data(data)
        .enter()
        .append("rect")
        .attr("x", x(0) )
        .attr("y", function(d) { return y(d.county); })
        .attr("width", function(d) { return x(d.students); })
        .attr("height", y.bandwidth() )
        .attr("fill", "#79200D");

    });

</script>

A: Your problem lies here:
.domain(data.map(function(d) { //only show top 10 counties
    count = count + 1
    if (count <= 10) {
        return d.county;
    }
}))

The issue here has nothing to do with D3, that's a JavaScript issue: you cannot skip interactions using Array.prototype.map.
Let's show this with the basic demo below, in which we'll try to return the item only if count is less than 5:

const data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
let count = -1;

const domain = data.map(function(d) {
  count += 1;
  if (count < 5) {
    return d
  };
});

console.log(domain)

As you see, it will return several undefined. You only see one empty tick because D3 band scale treats all those values as a single undefined (domain values in band scales are unique).
There are several solutions here. You can, for instance, use Array.prototype.reduce:

const data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
let count = -1;

const domain = data.reduce(function(acc, curr) {
  count += 1;
  if (count < 5) {
    acc.push(curr)
  };
  return acc;
}, []);

console.log(domain)

Alternatively, you can use a filter after your map, or even a forEach to populate the array.
Finally, some tips:

*

*You don't need a count, since Array.prototype.map has an index (the second argument), just like Array.prototype.reduce (the third argument).

*You don't need to do count = count + 1, just do count += 1;

*You are skipping the first element, because a JavaScript array is zero-based. So, start count as -1 instead of 0.

Audit released on Portland Housing Bond
by: Elise Haas
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The City of Portland released an audit Wednesday on a housing bond implementation. The bond is worth more than $258 million with a goal to add more than 1,000 housing units.
The city's efforts to ease the housing crisis by building more affordable units started several years ago.
In 2016, voters gave the green light to a housing bond measure, which allowed the city to borrow more than $250 million to invest in affordable housing. The goal was to build or buy 1,300 housing units.
According to the audit, the Portland Housing Bureau is off to a good start. However, there is room for improvement.
The audit says there needs to be more attention to veterans, seniors and those with disabilities. It also recommends the bureau could keep more concise records on property purchases and must develop new ways to make sure privately-owned bond projects serve the people they're intended to help.

A man who lost three of his four limbs in the Vietnam War made an emotional reunion with the Army Medic who saved his life, seeing each other for the first time in half a century.
On June 26, 1969, Dennis Joyner was serving with the 9th Infantry Division in the jungles of Vietnam when someone snapped a photograph of him.
Little did he know at the time, however, that it would be the last photo anyone ever took of him with all four of his limbs still attached to his body.
A few hours later, Joyner was operating within the Mekong Delta when he activated a landmine, resulting in a chaotic scene of horror for his unit and the loss of his legs and one arm.
Getting to work quickly, Dewey "Doc" Hayes managed to save Joyner's life, albeit at a terrible cost.
As time went on, the two lost touch of one another, and Hayes occasionally wondered what became of his friend.
Since that fateful day, Joyner would go on to raise a family, have a successful career and even serve as the National Commander for the Disabled American Veterans.
Nearly half a century later, Hayes would meet up with Joyner, coming together in Florida last month.
When Joyner rolled off of his vehicle's wheelchair ramp, the endless list of things he wanted to say were reduced to two softly-spoken words accompanied by tears.

Real Covid Wedding: Daniella and Jayson, Registry Office Followed by an Italian Restaurant in London
Begin typing to search, use arrow keys to navigate
Instead of a 180-person celebration in Florida, Jayson and Daniella became husband and wife in front of 15 guests in London. Their conclusion? A micro wedding can be just as special as a larger wedding - particularly if you hire a planner
10 of March, 2021
The Coronavirus pandemic didn't just disrupt Jayson and Daniella's wedding plans - it also threatened to disrupt Jayson's ultra-romantic proposal!
He'd decided to pop the question while the couple were in Colombia with their families.
"I'd hired a traditional horse and cart, arranged to have a bespoke traditional Colombian dress made for Daniella as a surprise and sourced a jewellers to get her a perfect handmade ring," explains Jayson. "Everything was going well until the fatal day Covid-19 hit the country. Although the town we were staying in had no cases, the government shut down the whole country! This of course included all my bookings that I had made for the engagement."
Due to the restrictions, the couple couldn't even see each other for several weeks as they were in different households. They were finally reunited on the day British citizens were allowed to leave Colombia, and Jayson asked Daniella to marry him on the way to the airport. "Lesson learned that this pandemic was not going to stop our love story!" he says.

The Change of Plans
Daniella and Jayson originally planned a wedding with 180 guests in Florida. However, the ongoing pandemic forced a rethink, with a much smaller guest list and a change of location to London. In order to ensure that their revamped wedding was as special as possible, the couple hired planner Lisa Black of L&L Events London.
"We were so grateful to have Lisa and her team to guide and reassure us through this whole process," say the couple. "Although it was a micro wedding, we strongly recommend using a wedding planner as there are many changes and details that can easily be missed without them."
The Wedding Morning
The wedding morning was all about spending quality time with their respective families.
"I woke up at 5:30am. My grandmother woke up at the same time, she looked at me and asked, 'It's the last time, tell me what you want me to make for you?' I asked for my favourite breakfast Changua (egg and vegetable soup)," says Daniella. "This was a special moment as I have lived with my grandmother all my life. Due to COVID, she was not able to attend the civil ceremony or the reception, but she was able to join us virtually throughout the day."
Jayson had ended up staying up well into the early hours with his family.
"The night before the wedding, I was lying on my bed, and my mum came into my room, sat on the bed with me and started crying, because this would be the last time I would be in the house with them. My dad and my brother soon joined and jumped on the bed with us," he says. "We were all crying, laughing, and chatting till the early hours of the morning."
The Wedding Outfits
Planner Lisa recommended a dressmaker to create Daniella's bespoke lace wedding gown, which she teamed with white Air Forces. She also chose a second outfit, a pleated Minx jumpsuit, for the evening.
Jayson wore a tailormade grey suit from Suit Supply, embroidered inside with his and Daniella's initials and wedding date.
Daniella had her three best friends as bridesmaids, wearing elegant Asos dresses. Jayson's groomsmen, including his brother as best man, wore navy double-breasted suits.
The Wedding Ceremony
The couple made it official with a civil ceremony at Enfield Register Office, but they also had a meaningful religious ceremony at home.
"L&L Events set up a backdrop at our house so we could have a religious service with our virtual guests linked in," says Daniella. "It was incredibly special as Jayson's father conducted the ceremony for us.
"Before the wedding, at different times he had asked us each what qualities we loved about each other. During the ceremony, in front of our family at home and our virtual guests from all over the world, my father in-law shared these qualities about us and linked them to scriptural marital advice, which was so special."
Jayson's wedding ring was from Simply Jewellery, who also restored Daniella's mother's wedding ring for her to wear. "During Covid-19 this family business bent over backwards for us, which gave us a sense of sentimentality for our special day."
"My favourite part of the day was watching my beautiful wife just after we had said the 'I dos'," says Jason. "We went to the park for photos and it was freezing but Daniella had my jacket on and blankets, she just looked so happy and relaxed. I am truly proud of her."
The Wedding Stationery
Papermill Calligraphy created the beautiful stationery. The design featured floral illustrations, handwritten calligraphy and accents of burgundy and gold, to suit the couple's overall colour palette.
Planner Lisa suggested the couple think of a favourite restaurant for their new reception venue - they chose Il Bebo's in North London for its delicious Italian food.
"The location had an industrial style with natural elements, so we went with a soft and romantic style for our décor," says Daniella. "We used foliage to soften the harsh exposed brick and black metal accents."
Chiffon table runners added to the elegant effect, contrasting with navy candles in black holders.
The couple's families were on hand to help with the wedding details.
Jayson's mother bought scented candles for the favours, which she personalised with stickers and wooden heart labels.
Another close relative created the cake, a traditional Colombian pastel borracho, which is three-tiered fruit cake with plenty of alcohol. "We served it on the night and also distributed it to family and friends who lived locally but could not attend the wedding," says Daniella.
And Danielle's Uncle John even photographed the day as a wedding gift!
As the perfect way to round off a magical day, the couple had a romantic first dance to Como Te Hago Entender by Roberto Roena.
"While we danced to our song, it was truly a special moment," says Daniella. "Seeing our parents and siblings with us was a warm comforting feeling that never would have been, had we had 180 guests!"
While they weren't able to have everyone they wanted present, the couple still loved their small-scale wedding.
"Your micro wedding can be just as special with 15 close guests. Until you experience it you would not believe how beautiful and unique your day will be," says Daniella. "Just enjoy the moment and remember the most important thing is your love for each other and not allowing this pandemic to stop your love story."
