Research shows that offering an incentive program to your top performers—be it employee, client, or vendor—is the best form of motivation and encouragement. At ECG, we specialize in the mechanics of achieving optimal performance.
Travel incentives are experiential and differ from incentives such as cash rewards. Related to achievement only momentarily, cash rewards often become part of the achiever's everyday life, disconnected from the incentive itself. Travel rewards, however, drive behavior change because they are appealing and have a higher perceived reward value than money alone. Successful travel incentives establish status recognition, become milestones in achievers' careers, and create memories for a lifetime.
To secure that status recognition, to enable those memories and milestones, ECG seeks and develops novel themes and destinations for your incentive events. Whether your group comprises financial planners, insurance agents, sports teams, wholesalers, or high-level sales associates, our professional planners will capture nuance and detail of awardee characteristics and your business purposes to design a program that truly drives subsequent performance.
Our multilingual event experts have organized events on six continents, from small group dinners to week-long events for over 1,500 attendees. From start to finish, our event management team will ensure that all attendees receive special attention; our extensive network of hotels, restaurants, and unique activities will ensure lasting memories.
Whether your group is looking for a wine tour through Italy, a photo safari in South Africa, exclusive access to a Cirque de Soleil show in Las Vegas, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, or create a unique rural event particular to your company's eco-friendly mission, ECG has an exceptional partnership with vendors and suppliers to fit every budget and every need.
Make your next incentive event one that awardees will remember for all the right reasons.
Please contact us via email or call us at +1-800-874-8278 (US) or +1-201-894-8200 (International) to discuss your needs or to get further information about our incentive travel and events.


We all experience pressing issues, occasional light-headedness or heavy thoughts. Sometimes they do feel like literally weighing us down. Others, on the contrary, knock us off our feet. Words tell us that ideas and feelings might sometimes actually be felt as physical sensations. And this MagiC Carpets story is about what happens, when you take a leap of faith, put on a blindfold, let yourself be guided, and walk around a room feeling the weight of your thoughts descending on your shoulders.
The author of this challenging yet rewarding experience is Aistė Jančiūtė, an emerging MagiC Carpets artist based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Aistė has a particular interest in movement as a creative process, during which her ideas, senses, skills and knowledge come together in innovative ways.
During a month of her residency from mid-April to mid-May in Folkestone (UK), Aistė stayed true to her artistic aspirations, blurring the line between the physical sensation of weight and the way it feels to our psyche. She explored how this relation can be manifested in a physical world and how this exploration can use the coastal town not barely as a setting, but something inextricably embedded in her work.
A month of extensive work with the local community, artists and the curator Georgina Scott, allowed her to achieve exactly that. Aistė's thorough exploration of space, textures, people and the context of the city, allowed her to create the final project as diverse in its mediums, as the topics it covers.
It all focuses around the perception of weight – psychologically, physically, and philosophically – and how it shifts in different parts of the world. Naturally, the senses are crucially important in Aistė's project, as her work tries to answer the question of how our experience and perception change, when put in an environment, where our senses are being altered/controlled.
Aistės laboratory-exploration-performance was presented during "Normal? Festival of the Brain", in collaboration with Jon Law, a local sound artist who created two sound pieces for Aistė's final installation, as well as dance artists Jacob Bray (UK) and Siobhan Ni Dhuinnin (MagiC Carpets artist-in-residence from Ireland). Sand, chalk, and shingle from the local shores also played their part. Used inventively to create the sensation of weight, these local materials introduced a new dimension to the project.
Needless to say, 'Weight' was an immersive experience, and a challenging one as well. With one sense heightened, evoking subjective experiences, responses span out across the widest scale of emotions. A project like that requires a very attentive and thoughtful guidance, particularly when reaching into the depths of one's psyche, you're never sure what you are going to find there.
Aistė's work included a certain extent of vulnerability and the necessity to trust others, as you were guided blindfolded in a tiny room, while weights settled on your shoulders, covering greater distances in your head than you do in the physical world. And when the blindfold was removed, to share your experiences with others.
Yet Aistė has proven herself to be up for the challenge. She is careful, attentive to details and experienced, as she has previously worked with the Theatre of the Senses in Lithuania, and Folkestone's own Touchbase Care, a community group where people with physical disabilities, mild learning difficulties, neurodiversity and sensory impairment are supported in arts, education, access to work, recreation, health and well-being.
3 days with 3 performances during each day. So much weight placed and lifted off people's shoulders.

Austin City Homes is the dream project of local Austin builder Dan Fawcett. Fascinated and inspired by Eichler Homes from the 50's and 60's Dan set out to create his own modern mid-century masterpiece in the Texas hill country. The home he built is truly impressive and we tried to capture that and the mid-century aesthetic when creating his identity system.

Moxostoma carinatum is een straalvinnige vissensoort uit de familie van de zuigkarpers (Catostomidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1870 door Cope.

IUCN-status niet bedreigd


When the war of independence was at its peak in Kashmir (now part of Pakistan), the Pakistani government had started operating a mobile radio station at "Tarar Khal" that registered the highest level of success compared to any other media in the world of propaganda.
Literary veterans like Mumtaz Mufti and Qudrat Ullah Shahab used to broadcast their opinion through this radio station.
These transmissions were pivotal in infusing a new wave of liberation among the oppressed Kashmiris who stood up against the Indian brutality. Moreover, the transmissions were broadcast in Hindi language as well which served as an impetus for Indian citizens to decry their regimes.
The success of this radio station can be gauged from the fact that Indian forces tried to strike down the station, however, as the station was mobile and usually operated through the far off places in forests, the Indian bid could not be materialised. The same channel mocked the Indian officials for staving off their bid, leaving them fuming.
But now the trends of information warfare have changed and currently even if the troops on the ground engage in this strategy, it would not be successful until the masses spring into action. India has initiated a media campaign worth Rs 7 billion against Pakistan by utilising all the sources including television, newspapers, books, social media, films, dramas and radio.
As part of the campaign, India has already launched a multimedia website and app of its Balochi radio service. The radio station which broadcasts its transmission in Balochi language is airing the manipulative statements of the senior officials of RAW to incite the Baloch community to stand up against Pakistan. This propaganda can be disastrous as the same technique was used before the fall of Dhaka. India has also started a tv news channel called "Zee Salam" which broadcasts in "Urdu" language serving the same purpose. US has also been operating news multimedia in Pakistan for the sole purpose of spreading the biased and misleading news.
This is the 5th generation warfare he was referring to, it is happening right now on TV, Radio and Social Media. India is using Social Media as the major battlefield at this stage by giving incentives, including financial gain, to some of Pakistan's prominent social activists, ethno nationalists, human rights activists and politicians to promote India's agenda. To support this strategy India has created about 350K+ "Bot" profiles on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter under Pakistani names, mostly with Baloch and Pashtun surnames. These can be seen following and sharing all the anti-Pakistan news agencies or journalist posts. So whenever you see a phony journalist's posts spreading misinformation it will get Shares within seconds from those "Bot" profiles.
Prior to this, India already won the battle on electronic media as Pak's famous television channels keep on airing Indian culture and civilization glossing over Pakistani ideology and values. This electronic media triumph is the reason behind the inclination of new generation Pakistani's towards India.
Now the battlefield is the social media and many of Pakistanis are voluntarily taking the ground so well that Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh was compelled to ask Pakistan to stop destroying India through its digital activities.
Although the admission of Indian legislator is a vindication of Pakistan's success, even then the efforts regarding information warfare are not up to the mark. Pakistan Security agencies have not started any investments in the Cyberwar, India is cleverly using Afghanistan to keep Pakistan's Security agencies busy on its borders while India setup their Cyber Army.
Looking at the statistics, we come to realise that 206 million people use social media in India compared to a mere 40.4 million in Pakistan, and among them not even one hundred thousand users harness social media ideologically to combat anti Pakistan propaganda and misinformation.
Basically, Pakistani people use social media for photo/video sharing, networking and expressing their views regarding to the ongoing political situation within Pakistan. Pakistan would be dominating the entire world's cyber warfare if its youth spend only 20% of the their time sharing positive news and exposing misinformation about Pakistan instead of trolling and abusing the political rivals on social media. The enemies are sharing 1000's of fake photos/videos of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and FATA on daily basis, systematically manipulating Pakistan's social media with clever misinformation, but only few Pakistanis are countering them.
The situation is completely different on the other side of the border as India has quietly divised a plan to create a new tri-service agency for cyber warfare. The Defence Cyber Agency will work in coordination with the National Cyber Security Advisor. It will have more than 1,000 experts who will be distributed into a number of formations of the Army, Navy and IAF.
According to reports, the new Defence Cyber Agency will have both offensive and defensive capacity. The Defence Cyber Agency is seen as a precursor of a cyber command. After reports that Russia meddled in the US elections by hacking machines and creating propaganda on the internet and the recent ransomware and other cyber attacks being attributed to North Korea, cyber warfare is gaining importance.
Summing up the debate, we should make a resolve to avoid generic use of social media and to utilise the platform for bigger purposes to respond to India and the enemies of Pakistan in much the same manner as our ancestors did through the mobile radio station.
The Kashmir cause and Khalistan, Nagaland, Tripura, Manipur, Assam and Bodoland movements should be supported through social media to inform the international community about these issues. We should also avoid engaging in skirmishes on the basis of ethnic and provincial differences as that would serve Indian purposes. We should ignore and avoid engaging with general "Afghaniis" and their journalists as they are just a distraction created by RAW.
As many as 65 separatist movements are currently active in India and we should study and fan the flames of these movements. Keep in mind that whether you take the responsibility of fighting the warfare or not, India is definitely inflicting damage on this platform. The good news is that Pakistan is winning Cyber Warfare even without any support or help from the government and security agencies just because Pakistanis are patriotic as a Nation. Imagine what are we capable of doing if the government creates and invests in Pakistan Cyber Defence Force.

The web is about to explode thanks to new domain names
Here come the new domain names
There is a major load of top-level domain names (TLDs) about two be dropped on the World Wide Web. You know about .com, .net and org. Yes, there's .edu and .gov examples as well.
But in the next two years more than 1,400 new top-level domains will come online. It's about to get crazy. Some examples? .ninja, .web, .inc, .church, .toys, .wine, .nyc, .mom…the list goes on with hundreds more.
Most of you know that a domain is simply a unique address for the Internet. JoshBenson.com is a domain. Domains are just like addresses of restaurants, businesses and homes, except they are words separated by dots.
Before we talk about what's coming, lets revisit what domains are currently. WhatDomain.com sums up domains quite nicely:
Top Level Domains: The Neighborhoods
Top-level domains are like neighborhoods in the real world; some have rules defining what is allowed in the neighborhood, while others don't. For example, .edu is for US post-secondary educational websites only, while on .com pretty much anything goes.
Top-level domains (TLD), define entire categories of websites. The most common ones are quite familiar to everyone who uses the web:
www.whatdomain.com
www.whatdomain.org
www.whatdomain.net
Second Level Domains: the Buildings
Second-level domains are like the buildings in a neighborhood. They're the website addresses that people, businesses, and organizations can register and own.
www.yourawesomenamehere.org
www.yourotherwebsite.org
Subdomains: The Rooms in the Buildings
Subdomains are like the rooms, spaces, and facilities in a building, representing specific uses or resources.
blog.whatdomain.org
shop.whatdomain.org
mail.whatdomain.org
If you own a second-level domain, you set up and control all of that domain's subdomains.
[symple_divider style="solid" margin_top="20px" margin_bottom="20px"]
The domains you're used to
These top-level domains were the original players. You have heard of all of these and perhaps you own some.
.com – This domain is reserved for commercial sites.
.info – This domain was for informational sites, now it's unrestricted (and super cheap to buy!).
.net – This domain was for Internet infrastructure sites.
.org – This domain is for everything else, and you've seen them for a lot of non-profits, etc.
Domains currently available that you may have seen/heard of
.aero – The air transport industry.
.asia – Companies, organizations and individuals in the Asia-Pacific region.
.biz – For business use.
.cat – Catalan language/culture.
.coop – Cooperatives.
.edu – U.S. post-secondary educational establishments.
.gov – U.S. federal, state and local government entities.
.int – International organizations established by treaty.
.jobs – Posting job listings.
.mil – U.S. military.
.mobi – Sites catering to mobile devices.
.museum – Museums.
.name – Families or individuals.
.pro – Business use by qualified professionals.
.post – Post offices and related organizations.
.tel – Online services involving telephone networks.
.travel – The travel industry.
.xxx – Adult content.
Domains for country codes
Some country code top-level domains are restricted to individuals and organizations located in that country, like websites on .ca for Canada and .de for Deutschland (Germany). Other country code domains are open and are used for everything from representing types of content (.tv, the country code for Tuvalu, is commonly used for video sites), to clever ways to make the domain spell a word (in the website pho.to the .to domain is the country code for Tonga).
A common screwup: Have you ever been in a hurry and typed in Google.cm and accidentally forgot the "o" in .com? Try it once and see where it directs you. That's a country code domain.
Internationalized country code domains
Some country code domains can appear in the native script of that country, like .ไทย and .ලංකා.
So what are the new domain names about?
Open Neighborhoods. Some new top-level domains will invite anyone to register a domain for any purpose. Need a laugh or want to spread some laughter? Visit a .lol website, or set up your own. Interested in motherhood? .mom is there for you. There will be hundreds of others.
Internationalized Neighborhoods. Why let the Roman alphabet have all the fun? This new domain era will see the first top-level domains in numerous other languages and there will be a موقع. for .みんな in the .世界. The World Wide Web is about to start living up to its name.
Geographic Neighborhoods. We've discussed country code domains like .ca or .de. We'll soon be able to get even more specific with domains related to a specific geography such as a city (visit.boston) or region (wine.aquitaine).
Specialized Neighborhoods. Some of the new top-level domains are intended for websites created by members of specific professions, communities, or interests. Looking for a lawyer? A website ending in .esq will signify a certified legal professional. Similarly, .ngo will be reserved for non-governmental organizations' websites, and .catholic and .shia for sites representing those religious communities.
Gated Neighborhoods. Numerous companies have applied for closed top-level domains and will have complete control over what websites to make available on them. These are usually recognized brand names, like .montblanc or .gucci. When you visit a website on a closed top-level domain, you can be certain that it's authorized and overseen by that brand.
These domains have already started rolling out and will continue to 2015. If you would like to stay updated on these domains, sign up for my newsletter below and follow the stories I post about them. If you'd like information on how to get in line to purchase a domain you're interested, I can help you with that as well. Contact me here and let me know what you're looking for. Enjoy the new World Wide Web!

Since overcoming his own addiction, Jim Geckler has spent his life helping others battle drug and alcohol abuse. There are tens of millions of people in the United States alone who struggle with addiction. They, along with their families and friends, can listen to this interview and walk away with a sense of hope.
At the age of 13, Jim Geckler drank beer and used marijuana for the first time. From that moment and for 20 more years, he was crippled by drug and alcohol addiction until he hit rock bottom. For Jim, rock bottom was an arrest that proved to be the catalyst to help him overcome his addiction. From there, Jim got a job in a coffee shop and has risen through the recovery community to become CEO of Harmony Foundation in Estes Park, CO. This incredible story will give hope to people struggling with addiction, in recovery, or supporting someone who needs help.
Jim Geckler, CEO of Harmony Foundation, discussing the ripple effects of addiction.


New research has identified the way nature creates its own plaster to try and prevent bacteria and other micro-organisms from penetrating open wounds.
Scientists have found that a protein film forms rapidly over a wound as part of the natural clotting process, and it provides protection for at least 12 hours.
They believe this bio-film gives the immune system time to marshal its defences to deal with any infection.
The researchers also observed that oil-based substances disrupted the process and warn that treating breaks in the skin with petroleum jelly, a technique used in some contact sports and following minor surgery, may increase the risk of infection.
The study, involving an international collaboration of scientists led by the University of Leeds and part-funded by the British Heart Foundation, changes scientific understanding of the mechanism of blood clotting.
Clotting is a vital process to prevent life-threatening blood loss following an injury. At the site of the wound, platelets and red blood cells clump together to try and plug any haemorrhage.
By using powerful imaging techniques, the Leeds researchers found that the fibrin fibres were nature's shape-shifters, reorganising their structure from a fibrous network into a sheet-like film at the point the clot comes into contact with air, at the site of the open wound.
Seen through an electron microscope, clots appear to be meshed together by spaghetti-like fibres of a protein called fibrin.
For decades scientists have been baffled about the precise structure of the fibrin fibres because they seemed to be never-ending, just coiling themselves around the platelets and red blood cells.
The research revealed that the fibrin fibres transformed into a protective film that had 'breathability' properties, allowing air to reach the wound through tiny pores which were too small to allow bacteria and some viruses to pass through.
The research involved both human and animal tissue.
Professor Robert Ariëns, from the Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine who supervised the study, said: "Our hypothesis is the film acts like a plaster, a protective barrier to try and prevent microbes from entering the body where the skin is broken.
"We did laboratory and animal studies which showed this film could be a barrier against microbial infection for at least 12 hours, and this gives the immune system time to get white blood cells to the wound to counteract any infection.
"The study is reshaping our understanding of blood clotting. Not only do clots stem blood loss, they also provide a frontline defence against infection.
"Understanding exactly what happens at the end of fibrin fibres has been a question medical scientists have been trying to answer for years now. This study is providing that long overdue explanation."
The paper reveals that scientists using electron microscopes had previously seen a thin film on top of clots but they believed it was the result of the way the sample was prepared for examination.
The researchers also noticed that if oil was applied to the clot it would perforate the protective film and they warn that the common practice of applying petroleum jelly to a wound would increase the risk of infection.
Professor Jeremy Pearson, Associate Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation which part-funded the research, said: "By looking at how blood clots form, with a view to designing better clot-busting drugs to treat heart attack patients, this team have now discovered a previously unknown protection mechanism used by our bodies to prevent infection after an injury.
"This discovery perfectly portrays the complex, and sometimes contradictory nature of our bodies, in that the very substance which can make blood clots inside our body so dangerous can also protect us from harm when we wound ourselves."

Economic domain
By 1300 Britain had an integrated rural economy with about 1500 market towns, 10 million sheep and an annual production of about 40,000 sacks of wool (p. 37) The Black Death produced a shortage of labour and therefore a rise in wages an general standard of living although somewhat eroded by the war with France. This new empowerment of the peasants was tackled by legislation in 1349 and 1351 to kep wages down and prevent labour moving to the highest bidder. In 1363 sumptuary laws attempted to maintain class distinctions through the enforcement of dress codes, one of many factors leading to the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 which involved various sectors of society hampered by perceived unnecessary regulation but triggered by a Poll Tax.
In general it is likely the diet, like the standard of living in general, was an improvement of that in Roman times. In 1066 the staples were bread made from wheat, or from rye in wetter regions while barley was used in brewing.
Periods of meat fasting encouraged fishing and the construction of weirs. The cinq ports sent out herring fleets.
Environmental domain
A Middle Age warm period from 900-1200, the Medieval Warm Period, resulted in vibrant agricultural sector and the growing of grapes in the south, this being followed by the Little Ice Age which lasted from approximately 1300 to 1850 and, combined with famine and disease ended a Middle Age period of prosperity.
The population of England in 1050 was about 2.5 million (p. 21) increasing to about 2.7 million in 1041 and 6 million in 1300 just before the Black Death. By far the majority of people (c. 90%) still lived on the land. In 1066 London was by far the largest town in the country with a population of about 15,000, the nearest second-tier towns numbering 5,000-10,000.
1100 c.1.5-2 million expanding to 5.4 to 7.2 million in 1300, then with the Black Death and economic decline reducing to about 3.5 to 4 million by the late 1300s.[10]
Land & landscape
In general villages were part of the manorial estate and consisted of a church and housing surrounded by strip farms beyond which was common land used for grazing and woodland. Population increase prior to te Great Plague in 1348 and its demand for increased land use led to the draining of marsh and fen. Mounds, humps and furrows across the English landscape are th eremains of ancient deserted medieval village (DMV), the crofts and tofts, many of which date to the period of the Plague.
Forestry, agriculture, horticulture
Through the period 600-800 cereal farming increased but production remained the same until its rapid resurgence in the period 1500-1750. Farms averaged about 30 acres but by 1500 this had grown to about 300 acres. Poor harvests in 1314 were followed by we t weather and years of cattle and sheep disease from 1319-1321 leading to widespread starvation and genera ldeath rate of about 15% in the years leading up to the Great Plague of 1348.
Water, energy, materials, food, biodiversity & ecology
Social domain
Life expectancy was about 35 years for men and 25 for women, many dying in childbirth.
Social organization
From 800-1000 the hierarchical organization of society included a slave class amounting to about 10% of the population as victims of war. The Doomesday Book records that between 1066 and 1086 4,500 Anglo-Saxon aristocrats were replaced by about 180 Norman barons. Below thee in the social heurarchy were about 1400 landowners, mostly, Norman and below these about 6,000, mainly Anglo-Saxon, sub-tenants.
The keeping of records improved greatly through the 12-13th centuries giving a picture of the role of crafts and industries mostly as employees of the Lord of the Manor and including smiths, carpenters, tilers, masons. From 1280-1340 there is the more general addition of surnames based on trade, to the former single-word name,, partly in response to the need for distinguishing people in record systems.
Country life centred around the manorial estate which had its own law courts.
1160-1216 royal Common Law arose.
Medicinal literature included Bald's Leechbok (c. 900-925) and Lacnunga (c. 1010) written in Old English and containing a mix of charms and herbal remedies, also translations of Dioscorides's Materia Medica dating from c. 1000.
In Britain women could own and deal in property.
Finance & taxation
Commerce & trade
Major resources
Mining & manufacture
Some iron and coal mining.
Motte and bailey and ringwork castles were eventually replaced as, from the 12th century, society became more integrated and stone buildings became much more common. Norman architecture remained evident in the magnificent churches and cathedrals.
Transport & communication
The Renaissance was not only period of intellectual re-birth it was also a time of economic development as, from 1460-1550 an underground mining boom was needed to provide for the needs of the age: iron for military and farming equipment, silver and gold for coins. Based in Central Europe smelting and refining techniques were improved along with the machinery of mining – its pumps, water-wheels, and crushers. However the initial surge in activity in Europe stalled with the discovery and importation of metals from the New World.

Nathan Persily, the Special Master forced on North Carolina by a three-judge panel in the ongoing Covington v. North Carolina case over redistricting, has produced a "plan" and changes to the maps already drawn in August by elected NC legislators.
The three-judge panel consists of Judge James Wynn of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Judges Catherine Eagles and Thomas Schroeder of the U.S. Middle District of North Carolina. This same panel has not yet to ruled on maps the lawmakers drew in August but went forward with imposing the Special Master on the state anyway.
The original order for a Special Master, delivered by Judge Eagles, only gave the defendants 2 days to reject the court's choice of Nathan Persily as a Special Master. The extremely short time frame was met by strong criticism from legislators in charge of the redistricting process.
The districts in question are 21 and 28 in the Senate and 21, 36, 37, 40, 41, 57, and 105 in the House. The court's Special Master order states these specific districts, "fail to remedy the identified constitutional violation or are otherwise legally unacceptable" yet the court gave no explanation to support this claim.
NC Legislative leaders responded that 'their worst fears about these maps had been realized' and charging that the courts were legislating from the bench.
"Earlier this week, the (Raleigh) News & Observer analyzed the original maps drawn by the so-called 'special master' and reported those maps would already make it easier for Democrats to defeat Republican incumbents," said Rep. Lewis and Sen. Hise in a statement.
"By making many changes Democrats demanded, Mr. Persily has confirmed our worst suspicions: this entire 'judicial process' is little more than a thinly-veiled political operation where unelected judges, legislating from the bench, strip North Carolinians of their constitutional right to self-governance by appointing a left-wing California professor to draw districts handing Democrats control of legislative seats they couldn't win at the ballot box," the Lewis/Hise statement said.
Quickly scanning the text, and it appears the author has mixed up Senate 19 with Senate 21 in Cumberland/Hoke.
The incredibly quick turn around time and production of Persily's draft maps has not been questioned by media and likely won't be.
It is not immediately clear how many changes there are between the early November draft maps and the December 1st maps.
What is clear is that Persily has relied on racial data, specifically black voter data, in both his draft maps and in the December maps. A previous ruling in the Covington case admonished the NC General Assembly map makers for relying 'too heavily' on race in maps drawn prior to August 2017. The 2017 August maps drawn by North Carolina elected officials took that part of the ruling into account and did not rely on racial data.
The three-judge panel will meet next on January 5th in Greensboro before a final decision is made on whether or not to adopt the Special Master's changes. That meeting will come just 5 weeks before candidates will begin filing for the 2018 election.
Speaker of the North Carolina House, Tim Moore, has indicated that the maps would likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court should the court move to adopt Persily's changes.
According to that analysis, in the Senator Wesley Meredith's (R-Cumberland County) new district was reconfigured to represent a near evenly split between the party vote result in 2016 of 49% Republican Pat McCrory and 48.8% Democrat Roy Cooper. Meredith's district had been 53% Republican.
Persily's draft map shifted Guilford County from slightly Republican-leaning to Democrat-leaning. It also double bunks Democratic Sen. Gladys Robinson and Republican Sen. Trudy Wade. As a result of that double bunking, it forces a new open seat in a heavily Democratic district in Greensboro – which was left untouched by Persily's draft maps.
Persily's changes in the House were arguably worse, according to the News and Observer's analysis. Persily's maps make significant alterations to the two largest counties in the state by politically tilting them democratic.
Other than shifting Rep. Linda Williams (R-Wake) a bit further Republican than her district was previously, the changes Persily makes in Wake county are beyond a doubt an effort push the county democratic.
Rep. Chris Malone (R-Wake) was put into a district favored Cooper by 1.8 percentage points by Persily's draft map. The previously drawn district had nearly a tie vote percentage between Cooper and McCrory in 2016.
Rep. Nelson Dollar (R-Wake) had a Republican-leaning district prior to Persily's draft plan. The Special Master now has his him sitting in a district that Cooper carried by nearly 7 points.
Rep. Andy Dulin (R-Mecklenburg) lands in a new district that Cooper won by 3.5 points. Dulin's district had leaned Democratic but Persily's draft made it overtly so.
Rep. Scott Stone (R-Mecklenburg) had a district that previously had been won by 0.4 points by Pat McCrory. Persily's draft plan puts Stone in a district that Cooper won by 1.2 points.

Q: Angular 4 Data Binding over ng-repeat I've recently switched to Angular 4 from Angular 1 and lots of things seem to be new to me now. One of them seems to relate to data-binding. In the old version, I would declare an array as $scope.arrname in the JS controller and I could navigate over it in the HTML view using ng-repeat.
Now, when I am trying to achieve the same outcome, it only works partially. What am I doing wrong?
Example: In a component, I declared a test array testarr : any[] = [1,2,3];

{{testarr}}
   > Prints 1,2,3 on the scrreen

{{item}}ITEM Found!

>only iterates 1 time (ignoring the 2,3) in the array.

Why does my code not iterate over the array as it was the case previously
? What am I missing here?

A: You should use ngFor instead of ng-repeat

{{item}}ITEM Found!

Man And Nephew Jailed For Bristol Nightclub Murder
17 July 2018, 18:11 | Updated: 17 July 2018, 18:13
A man and his nephew have been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing a man to death on the dance floor of a nightclub in Bristol.
37-year-old Jamel Powell, who was known to his friends as Jama, was stabbed 12 times in the attack at Blue Mountain in Stokes Croft. He died in hospital just hours later, during the early hours of 30th December 2017.
Following a trial at Bristol Crown Court, 56-year-old Errol Anderson from Bristol and Ian Power, who is 40 and from Gloucester, were found guilty of his murder. Anderson was told he will spend at least 21 years behind bars, while Power got a minimum of 27 years.
The court heard they had planned to murder Jama that night and Power had travelled to Stokes Croft from his home in Gloucester to meet up with Anderson that night. Power then went back to Gloucester before handing himself in to police admitting he had been involved in fight, while Anderson was arrested in Bristol later the same day.
The jury also found that a friend of the pair was guilty of helping them to cover up their crime. 42-year-old Juliette Campbell from Bristol stopped people from leaving the club, which allowed Power and Anderson to get away. She also persuaded a woman not to call 999 and removed the two knives used in the stabbing from the scene. She lied to a police officer when spoken to outside the club too. She is due to be sentenced on Monday 23rd July.
Detective Chief Inspector James Riccio said: "The motive for this murder lies in a historic feud which Power could simply not let go of. Jama was out enjoying the festive period when he was brutally set upon by Power and his uncle in a frenzied knife attack. I'd like to pay tribute to the hard work and determination shown by all the officers and staff involved in the investigation who put together all the pieces of the jigsaw needed to prove conclusively to the jury that Power and Anderson were responsible. The incident happened in a very public place in front of a significant number of people and I'd also like to thank the brave witnesses who gave evidence in this trial for their crucial input. My thoughts are with Jama's family and close friends who've had to come to terms with the life-changing impact of this appalling crime. I hope these successful convictions."


Key Partners of the Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development attended the meeting 'Looking into the Future of ESD, Together' in Costa Rica to discuss a draft position paper on the future of ESD.
The meeting also celebrated the launch of the UNESCO publication, 'Issues and Trends in Education for Sustainable Development'.
The UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report team issued a policy paper on financial support for education.
31 May 2018: In April and May 2018, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) undertook initiatives that discussed the future of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), assessed ESD issues and trends, and examined financial support for education.
From 25-27 April 2018, over 90 Key Partners of the Global Action Programme (GAP) on ESD met at the University for Peace in San Jose, Costa Rica, to consider a draft position paper on the future of ESD. The meeting was organized by UNESCO in collaboration with the Earth Charter Initiative. According to UNESCO, participants discussed: the importance of ESD to the achievement of the SDGs and its role in promoting values and sustainable lifestyles, especially among youth; education for empowering local communities to act for sustainable development; the relevance of ESD in the context of extreme poverty; and the extent to which technological advances can change the discourse on sustainability and ESD.
In May, the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report team issued a policy paper that discusses financial support for education and provides an update on donor commitments. The paper titled, 'Aid to Education: a Return to Growth?,' reports that in 2016, aid to education reached its highest level since records on disbursement were established in 2002, but adds that this amount is "well below" the level identified as necessary to cover the cost of reaching the targets of SDG 4 (quality education). It also notes that more remains to be done to ensure that aid goes where it is most needed and that the appropriate coordination mechanisms are in place.
According to the paper, in 2016 the US, the UK and the World Bank were the three largest donors, with disbursements amounting to 46% of total aid to basic education, and Norway spends 0.075% of its gross national income on basic education, the highest share among bilateral donors. The paper also reports that basic education aid to low-income countries fell from 52% in 2002 to 22% in 2016, and the share allocated to the least developed countries (LDCs) increased from 31% to 34%, which is below the peak of 47% reached in 2004. The authors suggest that the shortfall reflects the long-term decline in the share allocated to sub-Saharan Africa, which is home to half of all out-of-school children worldwide.

LOS ANGELES — Two things Clayton Kershaw clearly hates: Being on the disabled list and having pitch restrictions while on the mound.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' left-hander might be done with both when he takes the mound Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kershaw will be making his third start since coming off the disabled list for his most recent back injury and has been trending in a positive direction.
What Kershaw would like to see is more of the offense the Dodgers showed in Monday's series opener Theo Riddick Jersey , when the club scored 17 runs on 21 hits in an easy victory.
Tasked with slowing that offense at Dodger Stadium, while matching Kershaw pitch for pitch, will be Pirates right-hander Ian Nova.
If Kershaw is almost all the way back on top after an injury, Nova is there already. In four starts since coming off the DL because of a sprained right finger, Nova is 2-0 with a 1.75 ERA.
Kershaw is only this far along in his return from the DL because the Dodgers pulled a last-minute switch on June 23, and had him pitch in New York against the Mets instead of with Triple-A Oklahoma City on a rehab outing.
Kershaw threw 55 pitches against the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits over three innings. On June 28 against the Chicago Cubs, Kershaw was back at it, throwing 68 pitches while giving up one run on four hits over five innings.
A natural progression would have Kershaw at about 80 pitches on Tuesday, but Kershaw has a way of getting more out of himself when the situation requires it.
"I've proven that I'm healthy," Kershaw told reporters after his most recent start. "So now, next time out I'm sure the restriction should hopefully be pretty close to off. (I will) get ready and just try to beat an opponent."
Nova has thrown between 86 and 94 pitches in his four starts since coming off the DL and has given up one or no runs in three of those outings. The one where he did not was on Wednesday at New York. But he did hold the Mets to three runs over six innings, keeping the Pirates close enough to put together a ninth-inning rally for a victory.
That victory was part of a Pirates run where they won four of six games and took series at New York and San Diego. Sure there was a five-game losing streak before that, but going back even further, the Pirates had won four of five.
So even though they were roughed up by the Dodgers on Monday, the Pirates have learned the value of resiliency.
"We're well aware of what we need to improve upon," manager Clint Hurdle said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We're well aware of our monthly progress and then some of our monthly challenges. Love the fact that the game brings attention to specific areas, daily, weekly, monthly, and then I love to watch how some guys are able to fight and battle and work through it."
Up next is a challenge against Kershaw, who is 2-3 with a 3.18 ERA in 11 career starts against Pittsburgh. The Pirates are one of two National League teams Kershaw has a losing record against in the regular season, along with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Nova knows his way around the Dodgers, going 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA in two starts, one in each of the previous two seasons.
While other players were prepping for this season at spring training, Jose Bautista was on his own.
A six-time All-Star without a big league job, Bautista remained eager to catch on somewhere and knew he needed to be resourceful. So to stay in game shape, the 37-year-old slugger spent his days back home in Florida hopping from gym workouts to local ballfields.
Sometimes he ended up at the University of Tampa Adidas Henrik Lundqvist Jersey , or Tampa Catholic High School. Wherever he could find an empty diamond to hit and do defensive drills.
"I was trying to mimic somewhat the same program," said Bautista, who has quickly become a rare bright spot for the New York Mets this year. "I mean, it wasn't the easiest thing."
His agent helped him scrounge up batting-practice pitchers to simulate game situations as best they could. High school kids, college players, other free agents looking for work.
Bautista figures he got about 30 "at-bats" or so in April, when the regular season was already underway for everyone else. All the while, the former Toronto Blue Jays star waited for a new opportunity.
"Yeah, different fields. Whatever was available and whatever people could get to," he said.
Not exactly an ideal way to sharpen up for Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw. But after struggling through a 12-game stint with the Atlanta Braves in May, mostly at third base, Joey Bats has hardly missed a beat since arriving in New York. He had a .944 OPS over 35 games going into Sunday and had already batted in every spot for the Mets besides ninth.
"He never backed off," teammate and close friend Jose Reyes said last week. "He always was working."
Next up, a nice reward.
On deck this week is the first trip for Bautista back to Toronto, where he blossomed into one of baseball's best power hitters with the Blue Jays from 2008-17. The struggling Mets play interleague games at Rogers Centre on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Needless to say, he's excited.
"I'm trying not to think about it," Bautista said last week. "I'm trying not to dwell on it too much."
"Obviously, I played there for 10 years. I consider it one of my homes away from home," he added. "I'm just going to let it come and enjoy it when it gets here."
Reyes, also Bautista's teammate in Toronto from 2013-15, said last week the outfielder had been staying at his house in New York for the past few days and the two talked about the upcoming games in Toronto.
Reyes figures the Blue Jays might have a video tribute planned, but he's sure Bautista will receive a standing ovation after helping the team end a 22-year playoff drought and reach consecutive AL Championship Series in 2015 and 2016.
Bautista, still sporting a neatly trimmed beard, acknowledged he anticipates a warm reception.
"I don't expect anything else from Canadian fans. They're top-notch, a class act," he said. "We had a pretty good run there and I had a successful career in my years there. … I did enjoy my time in Toronto greatly and it's going to be great to be back."
Bautista hit 54 home runs for the Blue Jays in 2010 and led the majors again with 43 the following season. He finished in the top four in AL MVP voting both years.
And of course, who could ever forget his gigantic bat flip after connecting for a decisive homer in the 2015 playoffs against Texas?
As he approached free agency, Bautista's numbers dropped off in 2016. Toronto brought him back on a one-year contract for $18 million last season, but he slumped to a .203 batting average with 23 homers Adidas Mats Zuccarello Jersey , 65 RBIs and 170 strikeouts, and the Blue Jays moved on.
"As a player, we understand that this is a business," Reyes said. "He wanted to stay there, but I don't know. When you build that fan base and the people love you and stuff and you (are) successful in one place, you don't want to go someplace else. But it comes a time in baseball. It just happens. Yeah, he understands that."
Two days after he was released by Atlanta, the Mets signed Bautista on May 22 for the $545,000 major league minimum to provide a right-handed bat in the outfield following injuries to Yoenis Cespedes and Juan Lagares.
Bautista stepped off a plane and right into the starting lineup, hitting a double in his first at-bat, just as he did with the Braves. This time, though, he hasn't stopped producing even though everything around him keeps falling apart.
With the help of 24 walks in 105 plate appearances, Bautista began Sunday with a .438 on-base percentage for the last-place Mets. He'd reached base safely in 15 straight games and even played some solid defense.
"It's definitely impressive and we are in awe of him," 25-year-old outfielder Brandon Nimmo said. "He's a great veteran presence. He's got a lot of wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the game. … I think just that preparation, that work ethic and that eagle eye he's got, it's been a great combination."

"A dangerous wild card," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said before a game against New York last week.

MLG CA 2013 – Silver Award
December 9th, 2013 by sarahf
Not being a fan of the Tomb Raider series I didn't really pay much attention when the new game was announced and it wasn't until shots of a gritty world featuring a bloody Lara Croft began to filter into my conscience that I was compelled to check it out. My main problem with the "old" Tomb Raider games was that I found Lara's character to be lacking in depth. It was hard to care whenever something bad happened to her.
The rebooted Lara not only has depth and personality but you do care about her and desperately want to keep her alive. No more flinging the bouncy heroine off cliffs with sadistic glee thinking "It's ok, her boobs will break her fall." Gritty doesn't begin to describe the brutal, horrific world that Crystal Dynamics have thrown Lara into. She is beaten physically and psychologically, and you experience every blow with her.
The game starts out as it means to go on, by throwing you straight into the action. It can't be denied that Tomb Raider shines when it comes to actual gameplay. There is nothing innovative about the techniques that Crystal Dynamics have utilised but that is something that is becoming more and more difficult to achieve these days. It is after all "what you do with it that counts."
And they do deliver. Everything is polished and perfected, whether it's the ability to snap to cover or the upgrade system which is based on XP and finding pieces of salvage. Even as Lara's weapons became more sophisticated I still found myself resorting to the bow and arrow. Arrows are plentiful (often a bit too conveniently placed!) and if you like stealthy tactics, it's the best way to approach a group of heavily armed men who will immediately rush you and throw Molotov cocktails when they discover your position. It's also just a damned cool way to kill people.
The island Lara and her fellow survivors find themselves on could be a character itself, it is so well crafted in its visuals and atmosphere. The game is stunning and the attention to detail is exquisite, whether it's in Lara's unconscious decision to put a hand out to steady herself when edging along a narrow ledge, or simply in the way the rain splatters the camera. My personal favourite is the view out over the coast, with the waves lashing against the rocks and the sun lighting up scattered shipwrecks.
The steady drip of water in a sinister looking underground passage or the rush of the wind relentlessly beating at you while Lara precariously balances on swinging crates add to the mood and the music blends seamlessly with the on screen action. Fights are suitably dramatic, pulling you into the urgency of the situation, and the softer scores that accompany quieter moments of exploration are eerie and ominous.
Of course it wouldn't be Tomb Raider without a few tombs to raid and while these are mostly side quests they do provide some replay value and rewards. I was quite happy to just play through the story however as the sense of necessity can be lost if you spend too long off the beaten track. There are puzzles along the way as well, nothing too taxing but they are fitting for the circumstances in which Lara finds herself, such as lighting fires to allow various objects to fall into each other, perhaps revealing a hidden path.
The story is more about showing how a young vulnerable Lara Croft becomes the fearsome tomb raider as we know her. Her character has one of the best development arcs I've seen in a game. More often than not, if you fail a task, you are given a glimpse of the grisly fate that befalls the heroine, be it through a sickening crack as she breaks her neck on a rock or a heart wrenching wail as she is driven through an impaling branch. The knowledge of this brutal demise after everything she has been through already is enough to make you want to keep Lara alive.
The single player campaign more than makes up for the lacklustre multiplayer that accompanies it and I won't dwell on that part here. This is a brilliantly realised origin story for a character that desperately needed some proper attention and it's very exciting to go along on that journey with her. We are there right from Lara's disgust and dismay at her first kill, through to her full-blown Rambo mode that sees her wiping out entire camps of poorly organised bad guys. It's do or die and we can sympathise and understand her motivations, which is more than can be said for a lot of video game protagonists.
With a reinvigorated fan base Crystal Dynamics can now move forward with a solid origins story and develop the character and her world even further. As one of her foes disclaims in exasperation "Shit, she's still alive!" Lara replies with a defiantly triumphant "Yes, still alive!" Damn right. I look forward to spending more time with Lara in future games.

Great Review Sarah. I never cared for Tomb Raider games up until Underworld and Legends. Before that I always found the jumping very tedious and quiet hard tbh. But the latest reboot is great and looking forward to where they go from here with the franchise.
Matthew Moore says:
I voted Tomb Raider pretty high on my list for this year – a really strong reboot of a flagging series

Sola en el mundo (en idioma francés Seule au monde) es uno de los primeros cuadros del pintor francés, William-Adolphe Bouguereau; se desconoce la fecha exacta de su creación, pero se sabe que fue realizada antes de 1867 puesto que fue adquirida por el comerciante de arte Theo van Gogh, hermano menor de Vincent van Gogh. Su ubicación actual es desconocida.

Descripción de la obra
El cuadro se sitúa en París en el siglo XIX y muestra a una joven mujer con el pelo corto que sostiene un violín en un puente sobre el río Sena; la joven mira hacia la izquierda con aire melancólico. Al fondo se puede ver la Catedral de Notre Dame y el Pont Royal; el puente sobre el que está la mujer es muy probable que sea el antiguo Puente Solférino.

I would like to share some of the Feng Shui Testimonials, stories and experiences that my clients had before and after Feng Shui assessment.
"We hired Hiroko as a Feng Shui practitioner and we've seen some positive differences in our life. We didn't have much concern to begin with, but having a general assessment made us aware of some energy blocks throughout the house. As a result of making some changes based on her suggestions, we (as well as our two dogs) feel more at PEACE and all of us can sleep through the night. After 10 years of sleep disturbance, this alone is such a great gift. We also experienced unexpected events that resulted in boosting our business. We feel positive energy is coming into our life and we feel very blessed to have had her input and suggestions in our home. Thank you."
"Thank you, Hiroko! All kinds of sweet things are happening for us since we met with you! Interesting awareness is that the furniture arrangement in our home office was not inviting/accepting abundance and prosperity".
"Dear Hiroko: I very much enjoyed working with you. I've implemented some of your recommendations, more to follow. I have some very good and interesting news. Remember that we took down the cracked "bladder" stained glass? Well, my mother had her biopsy today and her lesion has disappeared!!!!!!! (I also had her wear red underwear as you recommended, by the way). The doctor had originally said that it might just be inflammation, but I guess he was surprised by the finding.
I must admit that I'm a skeptic. Perhaps it was only inflammation in the first place. Perhaps my Christian sister's prayers were the force. Or, perhaps it was indeed your advice. I'll never know what healed my mom's lesion...I'm just relieved that it's gone.
I'm ever indebted to you for your help, guidance, and wisdom. Ever since your visit, I have felt quite optimistic about the future. Thank you."
"It was so nice and interesting having you at our house. Everything feels so differently, now. My son (who had recurring ear problem) has been much more open with his emotions. It's remarkable. And, it was interesting to know that the drain issue got resolved when you came over. (After spending over $600 on chemicals, we still had drain issue). Thank you for your guidance and advice!"
Would you like to have your OWN experiences with Feng Shui assessment?
If you do, please Conact Me and I'm happy to serve you as a Feng Shui Consultant.

Q: Matlab: Calling a handle from GUI in a seperate function I have the following edittext function:
function startfile_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

function startfile_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
if ispc && isequal(get(hObject,'BackgroundColor'), get(0,'defaultUicontrolBackgroundColor'))
set(hObject,'BackgroundColor','white');
end

I also have the following push button that calls the function (images_seq):
function video_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
images_seq

I want the (images_seq) function which is within the same .m file to call the edittext function. The (images_seq) function looks like this:
function [ output_args ] = images_seq( output_name,images_dir,img_format, frame_rate, handles)

start_file = get(handles.startfile,'string');

The error I am getting is the following:
Not enough input arguments.

Please help

A: fisrt when you call a function you have to input their argument that function need them,in your code you have this function
function [ output_args ] = images_seq( output_name,images_dir,img_format,frame_rate, handles)

start_file = get(handles.startfile,'string');

but you call the function in wrong way for call this function you have to input all arguments
 function video_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
 images_seq(o_name,dir,img_f,f_rate,handles)

for a simple example suppose that you have a function that this function name is addd in addd.m file
function out=addd(x,y)
out=x+y;

if you enter in command window below code you get same error
>>addd
Error using addd (line 2)
Not enough input arguments.

for call this function you have to input x,y(input arguments)
>> addd(1,2)

ans =

Q. What can you say about the finale of Nevermore?
Q. Did you shed a tear when you typed that last page?
A. I think it's touching. I didn't tear up. It's bittersweet.
Q. With the way Angel ended, it seems like there'll be an emotional beginning to this last chapter.
A. Yeah, and that's the way I try to write everything. My big thing here with all of these books is to get more and more kids reading. I do have an ulterior motive here, and that's my mission. The more kids read, the better they get at it, and for a lot of kids the best way to get them reading is to give them a story that they really can get into. They get into The Hunger Games and they get into Maximum Ride. There's something like 9,000 Maximum Ride videos on YouTube, and some of them are stunning. I also think we're closer to the movie than we've been. I never know for sure inHollywood, but it's definitely warm now.
Q. Do you have any new updates on a film adaptation?
Q. As you write these books, do you think about the readers as they get older?
A. I always figured there would be a kid audience and an adult audience, and there is. That's true for Hunger Games and Twilight and Harry Potter. And Maximum Ride, for sure. In particular what happens is a lot of parents share the books with their kids, and the mom has read it and the kids and they talk about it. That's also very, very healthy.
Q. Do you really enjoy hearing from fans and listening to them debate about aspects like whether Max should end up with Fang or Dylan?
A. I love it. They're involved, and when you get kids making videos, they are involved. I'm sure also that, as much as I think it's a good ending, some kids are going to be going, "That's not what I wanted to happen!" because they get so deeply into it. One of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it's not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved and they do create and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It's great — it means their brains are working.
Q. Will you be starting a new series since you have this new hole in your schedule?
A. Oh yeah, sure. I'm sort of in both spheres now — I have books for the younger, middle-school-aged (kids) and then young-adult books. It's a very full year. What's coming is another middle-school book Get Me Out of Here! in May, then Nevermore in August and then right after that comes my first young-adult mystery detective series, which is pretty cool. It's called Confessions of a Murder Suspect and it's the story of a girl who is under suspicion for two murders. She's a real piece of work — she has a real twisted point of view on life. And then in December, a book called I, Funny, which is more middle school and it's about a boy who desperately wants to be a standup comedian. He's studied every single comedian ever, he knows every funny line in every TV show, he knows everybody from Henny Youngman to Chris Rock. It's very funny but also very touching: In the first chapter, it's illustrated and you're seeing all these shots of him sweating when he's on the local version of the Funniest Kid on the Planet contest. He's choking — he has all this great material, he has a great act, and all he can remember are the punchlines.
Q. Is Nevermore the last fans will see of the Maximum Ride characters or the world?
A. At this point, I feel that I've written what I know about these characters, and we've come to the place I thought it was all coming to. I don't have any plans to spin off anybody or write about the characters again. We'll see if I have the courage of a J.K. Rowling or not. We'll see if she has courage, too, as time goes by.
Now, THAT is a gorgeous cover.
I know, right?!?! Beautiful artwork!!
Amazing cover. James Patterson is prolific!
The cover is beautiful, but when I saw that there was an interview my first thought was "and now I have to hate her on principal." Thankfully since it was in USA Today I can go back to liking you.
My question is "why does she have gray hair and gray wings?" I'm really happy that that's the girl who is modeling Max. That girl has modeled Max for all of the books except "School's Out – Forever". She is a perfect Max! And the boy who models Fang – just yes. It says "yes" all over for me. I have a lot of questions, haha. Both of those models are perfect! But that question just runs through my mind: Why does she have gray wings and hair? One more question: what are those kids' names? That girl, and the boy. The boy that's on the cover of School's Out Forever, Saving the World, Max, and Fang. I really want to know the girls name!
I hope that Max and Fang wind up together. Maybe Dylan and Maya end up becoming a couple.
I really don't want Maximum Ride to end.
I never really liked the changes made with the Flock during the later, more recent, books. Like, with the whole "splitting up" thing, again… But it is what it is… I'm sure it'll be cool no matter what.
I'm wishing that Nevermore is written more in the style of the first book, you know?
Yeah, the cover's beautiful-I'd love to see what the 2 sided poster has on it. It's gotta be cool.


This article includes discussion of acute drug-induced movement disorders and acute dystonic reactions. The foregoing terms may include synonyms, similar disorders, variations in usage, and abbreviations.
Although it is generally believed that drug-induced movement disorders are much less common in the era of atypical antipsychotic drugs, there are little data to support this contention. Both acute and nonacute extrapyramidal disorders still do occur; therefore, neurologists and psychiatrists should be able to recognize and treat them. Akathisia may be mistaken for other conditions, including restless legs, increased psychosis, or anxiety and should be included on the differential diagnostic list for agitation. These problems are occasionally seen with antiemetics and, more commonly, with antipsychotics (eg, chlorpromazine) used for migraines or depression. Akathisia may also be seen with vesicular monoamine type 2 inhibitors (VMAT2) used to treat hyperkinetic movement disorders. Although these drugs do not cause tardive dyskinesia, they have been associated with acute dystonic reaction. Acute dystonic reactions occur with some, but not all, of the newer antipsychotic medications. Acute akathisia is harder to characterize because of the subjective nature of the symptoms. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome occurs with all antipsychotics, including clozapine and the other atypicals.
• Extrapyramidal side effects are seen with all first generation, and most second generation, antipsychotic drugs.
• Acute akathisia and acute dystonic reactions are usually the first extrapyramidal side effects to develop, usually shortly after initiation of an antipsychotic or a dose increase, and generally before parkinsonism develops.
• Akathisia may be difficult to diagnose because of its subjective nature and overlap with anxiety and psychosis but is a very important cause for noncompliance.
• VMAT2 inhibitors may cause akathisia and, rarely, acute dystonic reactions.
The term "acute drug-induced movement disorders" refers primarily to acute dystonic reactions and akathisia. These syndromes were first described as adverse drug effects in the mid-1950s (Steck 1954; Delay and Deniker 1968) and were recognized as being similar to the dystonic and akathisic syndromes seen in postencephalitic parkinsonism. Akathisia had been recognized even before the encephalitis epidemic, the term having been coined at the turn of the century to describe psychiatric patients unable to remain seated and thought to suffer from a form of hysteria (Haskovec 1902). The syndrome we currently call akathisia had been described in the 19th century in idiopathic Parkinson disease (Bing 1939). The term "akathisia" was taken up by neurologists after the epidemic of postencephalitic parkinsonism, which was frequently associated with akathisia (Wilson 1941).
These syndromes are thought to have become considerably less common in the current era of atypical antipsychotic drugs but have not been well studied. Non-acute drug-induced movement disorders have been widely thought to have been reduced with the introduction of the atypical antipsychotics, but this may not be the case (Dayalu and Chou 2008; Miller et al 2008).
