MotorLand Aragón, también conocido como la Ciudad del Motor de Aragón, es un complejo multifuncional dedicado al mundo del motor ubicado en el municipio de Alcañiz de la provincia de Teruel en la comunidad autónoma de Aragón, España.

Historia
La Ciudad del Motor de Aragón (nombre del proyecto original) fue promovida por el Gobierno de Aragón, la Diputación Provincial de Teruel y el Ayuntamiento de Alcañiz haciendo caso a las voces que pedían un circuito permanente en la localidad desde más de 10 años atrás. Para su inicio dispuso de un presupuesto de 100 millones de euros.

Inaugurado finalmente en el año 2009, el complejo tiene una superficie total de 350 hectáreas, más grande que la población que le da nombre. Dispone de seis circuitos: un circuito de alta velocidad o autódromo, un circuito internacional de karting y cuatro de tierra, entre los que se encuentran el autocross, dirt-track, supermotard y motocross. Igualmente, cuenta con el Parque Tecnológico TechnoPark MotorLand de 21 hectáreas para investigación y desarrollo sobre el campo de la movilidad, siendo puntero en los campos de pruebas y seguridad vial, así como ser la "casa" de la Competición Internacional MotoStudent.

Actualmente es sede del Gran Premio de Aragón de Motociclismo del Campeonato Mundial de Motociclismo, iniciándose en esta categoría en la temporada 2010. También se especuló con la posibilidad de que albergara una prueba de Fórmula 1 en sustitución del Gran Premio de Baréin en el 2011, debido al conflicto que atravesó dicho país y que finalmente no se disputó ni en el circuito de Aragón, ni en el circuito de Baréin. También ha albergado pruebas del Campeonato Mundial de Superbikes desde 2011, con sus correspondientes disciplinas inferiores: Supersport, Superstock 1000, Superstock 600 y la European Junior Cup.

Santiago Abad fue nombrado nuevo director gerente en 2017 y fue cesado en 2022. El actual director gerente es el ingeniero andaluz Miguel Ángel Cobo Lozano.

Antecedentes

Alcañiz posee una larga tradición y trayectoria automovilística. El primer Premio Ciudad de Alcañiz se disputó el año 1965 en el circuito urbano Guadalope por el cual han pasado célebres pilotos como Carlos Sainz (Copa Renault R5), Antonio Albacete (Opel GSI y BMW) y Fabrizio Giovanardi (Alfa Romeo), que participó en el Campeonato Mundial de Turismos; además de expilotos de Fórmula 1 como Alex Soler-Roig, Emilio de Villota, Adrián Campos y Luis Pérez Sala. La ciudad también ha acogido el Rally de Tierra de Alcañiz que forma parte del Campeonato de España de Rallies.

La ciudad cuenta con un fuerte respaldo por parte del Real Automóvil Club Circuito Guadalope, responsable tanto de la organización de los grandes premios de la ciudad de Alcañiz, como de las diversas pruebas automovilísticas que se realizan en la comarca del Bajo Aragón (Rallysprint, Autocross y Rallies). También se encarga de la organización de las distintas pruebas que se están llevando a cabo en los nuevos circuitos de la Ciudad del Motor de Alcañiz.

Instalaciones

Circuito de velocidad
El proyecto fue desarrollado por el ingeniero alemán Hermann Tilke, a cuyo gabinete se deben los actuales trazados de los circuitos de Sepang (Malasia), Baréin, Shanghái (China), Estambul (Turquía) y Fuji (Japón) y construido por la empresa Acciona. También estuvo inmerso en el proyecto el piloto Pedro Martínez de la Rosa en función de asesor técnico. El circuito es sede del Gran premio de Aragón de MotoGP desde 2011 y en él tienen también lugar carreras de Fórmula 3 y la World Series de Renault.

Sus principales características son:

 Longitud total: 5.077 m, (motociclismo) 5.344 m automovilismo.
 Sentido de giro: antihorario.
 Recta de mayor longitud: 1.211 m en el trazado de motos, y 1.726 m en el de coches.
 Anchura: 12 m, llegando a 15 m en recta.
 Longitud de la recta de salida: 630 m.
 Número de curvas: 18 (circuito 1) / 14 (circuito 2).
 Pendiente máxima: 5,4% (ascendente) y 7,2% (descendente).
 Superficie del paddock: 33.700 m².

El trazado es ampliable hasta los 10 km para disputar pruebas de resistencia y se encuentra adaptado a la orografía del Bajo Aragón; esta última es una de las principales características del circuito diseñado por Tilke, que intenta adaptarse al terreno del entorno.

El circuito está homologado a la categoría 1T de la Federación Internacional del Automóvil, lo cual permite efectuar en él entrenamientos de Fórmula 1, y a las categorías 2, 3 y 4 y "Grado A Grand Prix" de la Federación Internacional de Motociclismo. Actualmente se celebran competiciones del nivel de las World series, Superbikes y MotoGP.

My son Wyatt is a survivor of shaken baby syndrome. On November 1, 2013 he was shaken almost to death by my ex husband's girlfriend at the time, Rachel Ann Edwards. Wyatt suffered a major brain bleed, fractured skull, broken ribs, and bilateral retinal hemorrhages. He spent 6 days on life support and 7 weeks in the hospital. He's endured 4 brain surgeries and 2 eye surgeries. Not to mention the countless hospital visits, MRI's, CT scans, EEG's, etc. Wyatt today is almost 6 has permanent brain damage, is permanently blind in his left eye, and is cognitively and developmentally delayed.
In February of 2015 Rachel Ann Edwards took a plea deal and was convicted of 2nd degree child abuse of Wyatt and was sentenced 33 months-10 years behind bars. As of last month (June 2018) she's served 4 years of her sentence behind bars. She is up for parole again and this will be her third time up. She deserves to stay behind bars those full 10 years! For more information on Wyatt's story, google "Wyatt's Law".
***It's important to note that Rachel Edwards was also convicted of child abuse twice before she got her hands on Wyatt. She was convicted of abusing Travis English Jr. in 2011 and in 2013. She beat, tortured, and drugged Travis. Both her previous charges before Wyatt she only got probation and fines and THAT's IT!! Sickening.
On behalf of Travis's mom Christyne Kadlitz, and myself, we ask you please sign this petition. We will go up to address the Michigan Parole Board in next month and then we get a decision just before Christmas. If this monster is let out, she is a threat to all of our children.

Albert S. Chalker Papers, 1864-1865
Home Discover Historical Records Chalker Papers
Chalker Papers
Overview Series Description Related Resources
This collection contains letters between Albert Chalker and his sweetheart, Martha Ann Bardin, written while Chalker was serving in the Confederate Army.
While not incredibly detailed, these letters provide a sense of an ordinary enlisted soldier's experience of the Civil War in Florida. Chalker briefly discusses troop movements, occasional grievances with the Confederate military, and his desire to be reunited with Miss Bardin. Some of the letters include love poems, most of which Chalker copied from poets such as Bayard Taylor and Edward Everett. Several envelopes are included in the collection, as is the enlistment certificate of William Sims Bardin, Martha's father.
Albert Symington Chalker was born August 9, 1843 in Horry County, South Carolina. In 1852, he moved with his parents and siblings to Clay County, Florida. On May 16, 1863, at the age of 19, Chalker was mustered into the Confederate Army at Callahan under Captain Robert Harrison in Company K of the Second Florida Cavalry. He spent much of his time at Baldwin, Florida, and served as a courier for General Joseph Finegan. Albert Chalker was honorably paroled on May 17, 1865 after Florida's Confederate forces formally surrendered to General Edward M. McCook of the United States. He returned to Clay County and married Martha Ann Bardin in December 1865. Martha's father, William Sims Bardin, gave his Middleburg residence to the couple as a wedding gift. Albert and Martha Chalker settled and remained there for the rest of their lives. Albert Chalker served for 17 years as Middleburg's postmaster, and as tax collector for Clay County from 1881 to 1885. He was also a prominent businessman, and operated both a private ferry on the south prong of Black Creek and a general store in Middleburg.
Clark-Chalker House
Around 1890, Chalker ventured briefly out west to New Mexico, where he hoped to expand his fortune. Sometime during his stay he was diagnosed with Bright's disease, a kidney disorder, and his son George returned him to Middleburg, where he died on January 26, 1906. Albert and Martha Chalker's home, located at 3891 Main Street in Middleburg, and generally called the Clark-Chalker House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Fabryka Taśm Transporterowych Wolbrom SA (FTT WOLBROM) is the successor and continuator of the Polish rubber industry tradition with more than 100 years of experience. Founded in 1908, FTT has developed to become one of the most modern rubber manufacturers in Europe. Our basic product range includes rubber fabric and steel cord conveyor belts, rubber mixtures and rubber plates.
Since 1995 the company has been applying the ISO 9001 standard. Our textile division secures our fabric supply and allows for quick realization of customers' orders. The long-lasting cooperation with our customers and research institutes has consolidated the high quality of our products, which meet European and world standards.
We have exported conveyor belts to Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain, France, Greece, Finland, Norway, Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Morocco, Ethiopia, Argentina, Indonesia, Vietnam and China.
Non-flammable conveyor belts are suitable for carrying material in places where danger of fire or explosion exists, e.g. the mining industry, power and fertilizer plants. Apart from improved fire resistance, these belts have anti-static properties.
These belts are used for transportation of hot lump and bulk materials in iron works, coking plants and cement plants. They are manufactured in three kinds for transportation of materials up to 120°C, 150°C or 200°C.
Low temperature resistant conveyor belts convey materials in extremely low temperatures down to -60°C. The rubber covers have very good anti-abrasive properties, allowing them to transport very sharp and coarse materials.
GTP flame resistant conveyor belts are designed for working in the toughest conditions of underground mines where safety and performance are paramount. They are approved for use in fire hazard conditions of mines by appropriate authorities and are successfully at work in mines in Poland and many other countries.
Special application conveyor belts include alkali and oil resistant belts, belts with metal net, belts for the food industry and belts with profiles.
Steel cord belts are suitable for applications requiring long-distance carrying, high-speed carrying, high carrying capacity and high strength. The steel-cord conveyor belts are manufactured in tensile strengths from 630kN/m to 5,400kN/m and widths from 800mm to 2,600mm.
The company has great experience and a large capacity for production of rubber mixtures of various kinds and applications.
FTT Wolbrom SA produces rubber sheets and floor linings in the following versions: normal; alkali, acid or oil resistant; flame resistant and non-flammable up to 1,300mm width.
The company recommends materials for belt splicing by hot vulcanization of its own design. The belts can be also spliced by cold vulcanization or mechanical fasteners.
FTT Wolbrom SA focuses its attention on long-term relations with customers. The company offers full maintenance and service – from consultancy in appropriate choices of belt for conveyor and working conditions, to belt splicing at customer premises by qualified teams.
FTT Wolbrom would like to invite you to visit us at our exhibition stand 7, sector S1, at the International Trade Fair for Mining, Power and Steel Industry 2013 held in Katowice City, Poland.
FTT Wolbrom specialises in a wide range of rubber-fabric conveyor belts for a wide range of applications such as transportation of loose and hot materials in mining environments.
The Jiama Copper Gold poly-metallic mine is located in Metrokongka County, approximately 68km east-north-east of Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The Phase II expansion project is currently being implemented in two stages (series) with an estimated investment of $716m.

On Wednesday 6th March, Mrs Cooper organised an Eco-day for the school. During the day we had a number of visitors from different eco friends organisations, such as the Woodland Trust, who ran workshops for all the children to support their learning as to how they can help save the environment. Following on from this we held our science week (again organised by Mrs Cooper) during the week beginning 11th March.
The children learned about how plastics can affect the environment and wildlife. Our week started with a visitor from Chesterfield Borough Council. The children were given many facts about the impact litter has on our local town. The children's emotions ran high when they realised what dangers littering can cause. With the loan of litter pick equipment the children were happy to help reverse this problem. So, they pulled on the protective gloves and high visibility jackets, and armed with grabber sticks and plastic bags they set off to collect rubbish from their local play areas.
The children have learned about the impact of using 'once only plastics' through a variety of tasks and activities. These ranged from conducting and writing up science experiments, maths investigations and poetry writing to independent research. The children have also learned how to recycle effectively and each class has two nominated 'Eco Busters' who check that items are being disposed of correctly. The feedback from many teachers has been positive, commenting on how much the children have really embraced the learning during this week and that they are still hungry for more.

Marinheiro de Encomenda

    ★★★★☆

 Wanderley Caloni, January 6, 2015

Esse filme, assim como Os Irmãos Cara-de-Pau, tem um ritmo que cozinha em fogo lento até uma sequência absurda e frenética (até para a época) envolvendo um acontecimento que muda todo o rumo da história. É difícil saber como toda ela foi criada: Buster Keaton é um especialista em trucagens cinematográficas, como já visto em Sherlock Jr. Porém, é impossível ficar impassível a tantos truques que além de impressionantes continuam colaborando com a narrativa.

A história se passa em New Orleans em cenário e figurino que hoje também serve como um documentário da época. Keaton é filho do dono de um navio antigo que corre o risco de ser desativado pelo seu mais novo concorrente. A rivalidade entre eles chega até seus filhos, e o ódio ao diferente é uma forma de crítica social, ainda que rasteira.

Há algo de estranho na cópia disponível na Netflix, parece acelerada. Depois de ter visto Tempos Modernos apenas um dia antes e me parecer normal, pode ter relação com a época ou como foi filmado (apesar de ambos serem mudos e em P&B estão há anos de distância, e seria o mesmo dizer que O Artista, de 2011, está destoando de seus parceiros técnicos). Porém, uma coisa é certa: a trilha sonora usada é a pior coisa do filme. Distrai e não acrescenta quase nada, com exceção do final frenético já citado.

De uma forma ou de outra, Buster Keaton tem alguma coisa em sua forma de fazer filmes que fascina e pelo qual certamente era fascinado: contar histórias que não seriam possíveis sem efeitos especiais. Essa é a herança que vemos em Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Avatar e tantos outros que dependem do impossível para fazer-nos crer que tudo é possível no Cinema.

The Rise of the Budget Bus- BNET
Barbara E. Hernandez
As news reports chronicle Depression chic and declining air travel, it can be easy to think people aren't traveling anywhere and wallowing in despair. Then you see the ads for budget bus service for as little as $1, or 100,000 seats free. While air travel is down, the bargain bus battle is heating up.
The biggest battle is between three companies, all primarily in the Midwest and East Coast.
There's Megabus, with the healthiest marketing budget, which advertises its $1 fares on its buses (there are restrictions, today I reserved a January jaunt from Ann Arbor to Chicago, the ride was $10 round-trip.) It's a division of Coach USA, now owned by the UK's Stagecoach Holdings, and originally operated out of eight Midwestern states but extended destinations into Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Massachusetts. Since 2006, Megabus has served more than 1 million customers and poured $60 million in new double-decker buses.
BoltBus, a partnership between Greyhound Lines and Peter Pan Bus Lines Inc., was created to take on the Fung Wah and Lucky Star bus lines that traveled the profitable New York City-Boston route. By also offering fares starting at $1, new buses, less cramped seating and wireless Internet, BoltBus exploded into the region and quickly garnered some market share. (A January round-trip fare from Boston to New York City was $30.50.)
Another new competitor is Greyhound's NeOn, a partnership with regional busline Adirondack Trailways, which competes directly with Megabus in New York City, Toronto, Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester/Henrietta. The bus line began only a few weeks ago after Megabus announced it would serve the New York state area. (It was $30 round-trip on NeOn from Buffalo to Penn Station.)
Greyhound is behind two of these bargain buses. The company must have realized the new market is in regional lines where a company could make millions with inexpensive amenities like more legroom and WiFi — and passengers used to cramped, old buses, will pay slightly more to compensate. By introducing this "fighter brand" under a different name, Greyhound can get those bargain customers as well as keep those that rely on its recognizable name.
There's another reason why these bus services are working so well in the East and Midwest — proximity, which is why travelers may not see them any time soon in the West. Boston to New York City is around 210 miles, one of the longer trips. A trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, is about 400 miles. San Francisco to Portland, 640 miles. Las Vegas


natural deodorant delivering all day odor control with a single application while allowing the skin to restore microbial flora and detoxify.
A natural deodorant that actually works.
all day odor control for the most active adults. safe for kids.
All day odor control (no chemical bactericide). impressively powerful odor control without killing your skin's microbial flora.
Backed by a 100% guarantee with free and simple returns. With over 75,000 units sold, we understand how well it's working for our clients and customers, but we're not crazy to assume everyone will like it. If you don't like our deodorant, not problem, just fill out a return request and we will issue a full refund.
This deodorant smell like it sounds. Natural citrus scents rounded out with earthy notes. The notes follow the order of the essential oils above. You really do smell Lemongrass, then Orange, then Eucalyptus and a touch of Bergamot.
Citrusness deodorant is our most popular seller, but the citrus essential oils can be a little much for super sensitive skin. Since we only see 1:1,500 returned, your shouldn't be too worried. ALSO, we offer a 100% guarantee on these products. If you buy a citrusness deodorant and it bothers you, we will send you a replacement or a full refund, no questions asked.
Our natural Lavender Deodorant comes in a very close second for popularity. Since we only craft our products with certified organic authentic essential oils (no fragrances), this deodorant is NOT overly floral and sweet like synthetic lavender fragrances ("old lady lavender perfume"). Instead, this deodorant has deep earthy floral notes that's popular for men as well as women. This is our owner's (jordan) favorite.
Again, this one smells like the name. Our natural herbaceous deodorant smells like earthy herbs with some mild minty notes (from eucalyptus). Although rosemary is the last essential oil, it is definitely noticeable. This deodorant is more popular for the dudes, but not unpopular for women, if that make sense.
Our natural brochacho deodorant is the ultimate "woodsy" scent. Although patchouli is the first essential oil, it does not dominate the formula and is nicely rounded out with notes of cedar and eucalyptus. Vetiver adds a nice deep earthiness that you really can't get in any other essential oil.
Like the gut, your skin has a rich microbiome. The diversity and makeup of your microbial flora plays a major role in overall skin health, influencing the immune system, inflammatory set point, skin resilience, and more. A healthy, balanced microbiome exists symbiotically with the body. Disrupting the microbiome with bactericidal deodorants can have negative consequences.
Think of two petri dishes. One petri dish is filled with a diverse bacterial microbiome that has no negative impacts on the human body. The other perti dish has no bacteria. Now, let's introduce a "harmful" bacteria to both petri dishes. Assuming the environment is controlled in both dishes, the "harmful" bacteria will encounter strong competition in the microbe rich dish and encounter no competition in the empty dish. Due to the lack of competition, the "harmful" bacteria will flourish in the empty petri dish.
This analogy is similar to the one that develops with the use of strong bactericidal deodorants. This is likely the reason you smell so terrible when missing an application of name brand, bactericidal deodorants. Your microbiome is out of wack. Natural physical deodorant (works by physical entrapment of 'stink') does not adversely disrupt the delicate microbial flora.
PLEASE NOTE: When switching from an antiperspirant or name brand deodorant, you may experience some "detoxing". It's important to use this product for 7 days before passing judgment. During this time, your body may eliminate any toxic build up from your previous deodorant and the skin may experience a change in chemistry & flora.
If irritation occurs for more than a couple days, please get in touch and we will take care of you!
I absolutely LOVE the smell, texture and overall quality of this product!!!
Thos deodorant exceeded my expectations! I will still sweat some at work when we are really busy, but there is no body odor! Coupled with the health benefits of an aluminum-free product, my daughter and I are hooked!
smells awesome. Doesn't give you that slick under arm feel most anti persperant sticks give you. Doesn't wear off after half a day, or even the whole day. Better than old spice .
This deodorant is life! It smells amazing & actually works!

The Temple of Kom Ombo

Home Temples of Ancient Egypt Kom Ombo
Kom Ombo is one of the more unusual temples in Egypt. Due to the conflict between Sobek and Horus, the ancient Egyptians felt it necessary to separate their temple spaces within one temple. The Kom Ombo temple has two entrances, two courts, two colonnades, two Hypostyle halls and two sanctuaries, one side for each god.
Built to overlook the Nile, the temple is located in the city of Kom Ombo, about 30 miles North of Aswan. Its dual design is dedicated to Sobek and Horus and is perfectly symmetrical along its main axis.
Kom Ombo History
The Kom Ombo Temple was built between 332 BC and 395 AD, during the Ptolemaic period, by Ptolemy VI Philometer. Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos continued the work and built the exterior and interior Hypostyle halls. The temple was built with local limestone by men who rode on elephants, considered to be a Ptolemaic innovation.
Little remains of the original structure. Unfortunately, a good portion of the temple has been destroyed over the millennia by earthquakes, erosion by the Nile River and builders who stole stone for unrelated projects. In 1893, a French archaeologist by the name of Jacques de Morgan cleared the Southern portion (the half dedicated to Sobek) of debris and restored it.

During the Roman period, additions to the temple were made in the form of decorations in the main court. At this time, an outer corridor was also added. Augustus built an outer enclosure wall and a portion of the court, but those structures have since been lost. The Coptic Church took over the temple and converted it into their own place of worship. It was at this time that many of the ancient reliefs were defaced and removed.

Kom Ombo Temple Dedications
Kom Ombo was dedicated mainly to Sobek and Horus; however, some of their family members were part of the temple's dedication as well. The Southern portion of the temple was not just dedicated to Sobek, the god of fertility, but also to Hathor, the goddess of love and joy, and Khonsu, the god of the moon. In this portion of the temple there are many crocodile representations to pay homage to Sobek. This part of the temple is also called "House of the Crocodile."

The Northern portion of the temple was dedicated mainly to Horus, god of the sun, and also Tasenetnofret, meaning "the good sister," and a manifestation of Hathor, and Panebtaway, meaning "the Lord of two lands" which represented Egyptian kingship. In this part of the temple, there are many representations of falcons to pay homage to the falcon-headed god, Horus. This part of the temple is also called "Castle of the Falcon."

Kom Ombo Temple Layout
Just after crossing the gate inside the temple, there is a small room dedicated to Hathor. Today, it is used to display the many mummified crocodiles that were found in the temple's vicinity. A well in front of the main entrance was once used as a Nilometer. The first pylon, which has since been destroyed, now consists only of foundation stones and a portion of a wall.
© Garrett Ziegler - Mummified Crocodiles at Kom Ombo
Entering into the main court, there are 16 painted columns, eight on each side of the court. A granite altar sits in the center of the main court, likely where the sacred boat was placed. On the rear wall of the main court are five lotus-shaped columns along with a screen wall. Two entrances, one for each deity, open up here. Through both entrances lies the first Hypostyle hall. There are ten lotus-shaped columns here with the middle two separating the two halves of the hall.
© Georg Wittberger - Columns at Kom Ombo
Separate entrances guide visitors into the second Hypostyle hall known as "The Hall of Offering". Beyond this Hall of Offering are three antechambers, now all nearly destroyed. Curiously, the twin sanctuaries which are found beyond the antechambers are separated by a hidden chamber. A dual passageway runs the perimeter of the entire temple and there are seven additional rooms along the interior passage. A staircase leads to the roof.
Kom Ombo Quick Facts
Along with the God of Victory, Ancient Egyptians believed Horus was also a doctor. The Kom Ombo temple was known for its healing powers and people made pilgrimages to Kom Ombo to be healed.
On the back wall of the temple exists the very first known representations of precise surgical tools. Some of these tools include suction caps, scalpels, bone saws, dental tools, medicine bottles, forceps, birthing chairs and forceps.
A huge number of crocodiles once roamed the area inside and around the Kom Ombo temple.
More than 300 crocodile mummies were found at the Kom Ombo temple and now reside in the nearby Crocodile Museum.
The hidden chamber between the two sanctuaries was used for priests to act as the "Oracle" pronouncing god's will.
The ceiling in the first Hypostyle hall is decorated with astronomical scenes including scenes of Nut, goddess of the sky and the universe.
Many columns in the temple boast reliefs of the pharaoh paying homage to many different gods.
The temple is oriented East to West, based on "local" North which was determine by the Nile River.
In the Horus myth, the allies of Seth made their escape by changing into crocodiles.

Moldova's climate is moderately continental, with some modification of conditions by the Black Sea. The summers are warm and long, with temperatures averaging between 20°C and 25°C, but can sometimes reach 40°C during heat waves. The winters are moderately cold and dry, with daytime January temperatures between -4°C and -7°C, and minima often far below -10°C.
Annual rainfall, which ranges from around 600 millimeters in the north to 400 millimeters in the south, can vary greatly; long dry spells are not unusual, especially in the summer. The heaviest rainfall occurs in early summer and again in October; heavy showers and severe thunderstorms are common, mostly near the coastline of the Black sea. Because of the irregular terrain of Moldova, heavy summer rains often cause erosion, flash floods and river silting.
Lightweight clothes with accasional rainwear is advised for the summer months, Medium- to heavyweight is neccesary during the winter. Wherever you go, take a sweater for cool evenings.
The climate of Moldova can be classified as Dfb climate; a humid snow climate with the warmest month lower than 22°C and the coldest month lower than -3°C.

A new compound library that contained 20 hinged benzimidazole-coumarin hybrids and their β-d-ribofuranosides was established. The anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity of all novel coumarin derivatives, which were obtained by use of organic synthetic methods, was tested. Two of these hybrids exhibited appealing EC50 values of as low as 3.0 and 5.5 μM. The best selectivity index was 14. The incorporation of a d-ribofuranose into the hinged hybrids provided the corresponding nucleosides with the β configuration, one of which inhibited HCV replication with an EC50 value of 20 μM. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship is elucidated on the basis of the functional groups that were attached to the nuclei of benzimidazole, coumarin, and ribofuranose of the hybrids.

You may have noted that, besides adding the new Computer Stuff topic area, we have also made a few other changes to the forum. The former Suggestions/Help board will now be for forum-related technical help, how-to questions, or suggestions on how to improve the forum's structure (adding boards, moving things around, etc). We will gradually be moving out topics that now have a new home.
The description of The Den has also been altered a little to clarify it, and to let new members know that The Den is indeed the place to introduce themselves.
I'll delete all the "topic moved" notifications in a day or two, so as not to be annoying!


The Pentagon on Monday said U.S. forces have killed "dozens' of ISIS members in two ISIS training camps in Al Bayda Governorate, Yemen.
The strikes on the terrorist training camps "disrupts the organization's attempts to train new fighters," the Pentagon said in a press release.
While the release does not detail how the strikes were conducted, a defense official told the Associated Press that drones carried out the strikes.
"In coordination with the government of Yemen, U.S. forces are supporting ongoing counterterrorism operations in Yemen against ISIS and AQAP to degrade the groups' ability to coordinate external terror attacks and limit their ability to hold territory seized from the legitimate government of Yemen," the Pentagon said.
"Strikes against ISIS targets disrupt and destroy militants' attack-plotting efforts, leadership networks and freedom of maneuver within the region," it added.
The U.S. has no combat troops in Yemen but has periodically conducted airstrikes to attack militants, including fighters of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemen fell into chaos following its 2011 Arab Spring uprising that removed longtime autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh, now allied with Shiite rebels from the north who occupy much of the country and are fighting his successor. A Saudi-led coalition has been battling the rebels and Saleh's forces since March 2015.

Long Game Review (2020): How the App Makes Saving Money Fun
Posted January 27, 2020 by Kyle Burbank
Home » Product Reviews » Financial » Long Game Review (2020): How the App Makes Saving Money Fun
In the minds of many, saving money is no fun. Because of this, in recent years, many personal finance experts and bloggers have advocated for trying various money challenges that aim to turn good money habits into mini-games. Now one mobile app is taking a quite literal approach to the finance gamification trend.
Long Game is a personal finance app that rewards users for setting aside money in a savings account by allowing them to unlock games of chance that could potentially add to their stash. It's a novel concept to be sure — but does it actually work? Let's take a look at Long Game, how it works, and whether it could help you start saving more.
Long Game: What You Need to Know About the App
Getting started with Long Game
Off the bat, one very important aspect to note about Long Game is that it will require you to open a savings account. The good news is that these savings accounts come via a partnership with Blue Ridge Bank, which means that your contributions are all FDIC insured. However this also means that you'll need to offer up a lot of sensitive information while joining, including entering your social security number.
Once you've set up your savings account and signed into Long Game, the next step you'll want to take is setting up your savings plan. This involves linking a funding source like a checking account and selecting from a number of "AutoSave" options. To Long Game's credit, the app allows users to really customize their savings, selecting to make contributions on a weekly, monthly, or twice monthly basis and choose which day of the week or date of the month you want to move your money on. As a result you can even opt to time transfers to your paydays.
Of course the other aspect of setting up your savings plan is choosing how much you want to set aside each time. The minimum here is $5 but you can select just about any amount. Beyond this set plan, you can also make a one-time transfer of $5 or more at any time.
Creating Savings Jars
One of the relatively new features in the app is that you can now create Savings Jars. For example I labeled my main jar "Travel," reminding myself of what I'm setting aside money for. You can create multiple jars, set goal deadlines, and create savings plans for each. Plus you can always transfer funds between jars or even combine two jars if you need to. This is a small feature and can be a little confusing to set up at first, but it's a solid idea that could help keep you motivated to continue your savings journey.
The gaming aspect of Long Game
Now for the fun part — literally. As I mentioned, the way Long Game aims to take the sting out of saving is to reward users for their good savings habits. This is mostly accomplished via their coin system.
Simply put, the more money you set aside, the greater the number of coins you can earn. From there, these coins can be used to play mini-games that call to mind many gambling favorites. Take, for example, the Flip It games that resemble lottery scratchers and the Spin It games that might just make you feel like you're on Wheel of Fortune. While some of these games pay out in additional coins, others offer real-life, legal tender cash that will be added to your balance if you win.
Updates to Long Games coin currency
Not too long ago, Long Game made some updates that not only overhauled the look of some of their games but also changed up the value of their coins. Previously, most games cost between 5 and 1,000 coins — pretty simple, right? Well now they range from around 1,000 to 1 million coins. For example, games where you're playing for real prizes up to $1,000 may cost as many as 50,000 coins to play while other games where the top prize is more coins have entry pricing as low as 1,000 coins. For really high rollers, there are also 1 million coin games where up to $10,000 is on the line.
With the number of coins you'll need to play games moving up, luckily the amount of coins you earn has also increased exceptionally. Quite honestly, I haven't taken the time to do the math to see if everything converts to about the same. Nevertheless each game does seem to to be priced fairly and may even be a bit better "value" in some cases. So while it took me a little getting used to, I think I approve of the new format.
More rewards
In addition to earning coins from both recurring and one-time contributions, you can also level up by earning Brains. These Brains are awarded for things like daily check-ins, contributions, streaks, referrals, and more. You can also unlock creatures and extra games by continuing to save.
And then there's also a map that shows your progress and… okay, I'd be lying if I said I completely understood everything that was happening in Long Game. All I know for sure is that coins = games and games can = money. Beyond that, I find myself being surprised from time to time.
Crypto prizes
Funny enough, what first introduced me to Long Game was a post about how they were rolling out a feature that would earn cryptocurrencies as prizes. Announcing the addition of tokens like Ethereum to the app, Long Game CEO and Founder Lindsay Holden said, "Crypto Rewards will serve to educate our customers and introduce them to crypto markets while protecting them from the risk that comes with investing." That protection from risk comes as you aren't actually able to purchase cryptocurrencies on the app — you can only win them. This could involve getting gifted with crypto for leveling up or playing the Crypto Spin game.
If you do obtain crypto assets from Long Game, you'll need to transfer them to a crypto wallet. On their suggestion, I choose to download the app Trust to hold my (then valued at) $.25 worth of ETH. In the event you don't have a wallet and don't feel like getting one right away, Long Game does note that you will have up to a year to claim your prize and withdraw it from the app itself.
Bonuses and PowerUps
As you reach different milestones and complete levels, you may unlock special PowerUps. There are two types of PowerUps I've encountered so far: Deposit Boosts and Referral Boosts. With Deposit Boosts, you can score extra coins by adding funds to Long Game. Once activated, you'll earn 5,000 coins for every $1 you deposit (with a max of 500,000 coins). However this offer ends 24 hours from the time you activate the boost.
Referral Boosts are similar in that you only have 24 hours to take advantage of them once activated, but the goal is very much different. With a Referral Boost engaged, you'll earn 500,000 extra coins for each friend who joins Long Game. Obviously you have less control over whether or not you'll achieve this one, so I prefer the Deposit Boosts overall. Still both are fun bonuses that I enjoy receiving.
Using and Saving with Long Game
Does Long Game actually help you save money?
It's now been several months since I started using Long Game and have been making weekly contributions regularly. While I have these transfers set very low for now (hey — I have a lot of apps pulling my money at the moment), I have to admit that I really look forward to earning coins, playing games, and watching my balance grow. Moreover, just as some of the weaker among us may have been tempted by a mobile game asking us to spend money to play, I've found myself feeling the same temptation from Long Game — except, in this case, the money would be going to a good home and not into a sad, wasteful abyss. Given this experience, I suspect the app's approach to encouraging good financial habits could prove effective for many.
Do you actually win money on Long Game?
Honestly, it's pretty impossible to say whether or not you'll win money on Long Game — but I can tell you that I have. Well, not lottery-level piles of cash, but a few cents here and there.
Between getting Crypto Rewards for leveling up and scoring some extra assets from playing Crypto Spin, my crypto wallet tells me my Ether, BAT, 0x, and other assets are currently worth $1.99. Meanwhile, in fiat currency, I've won a combined total of $3 playing various games. Sure, $3 over the course of several weeks isn't much but I can tell you that winning it still felt pretty damn great. On top of that, it was legitimately fun playing the games that resulted in those winnings.
Do Long Game accounts earn interest?
Surprisingly, yes! Here I was prepared to issue a minor knock to Long Game but, as it turns out, the app's savings accounts actually do accrue interest. According to their site, accounts have a 0.1% APR compounded monthly and paid out at the end of the month. However, as they note, "Long Game transfers interest to your account after you have earned at least $0.01. If you do not earn at least 1 cent in the month, your interest is rolled over until you have earned 1 cent."
To me this just an added bonus. Although you can get a better interest rate from other online savings accounts, the 0.1% APR does best many traditional savings accounts. For that reason, what I was expecting to be a downside of Long Game actually appears to be a positive.
What if I need to pull money out?
As much as Long Game really encourages you to keep saving and build streaks, the app also makes some really clever efforts to ensure that your transfers to the app don't put your finances in jeopardy. Not only are you able to withdraw your savings at any time but you can also make adjustments to your transfers if need be. In fact the app will send you an e-mail the day before a scheduled transfer is set to occur and you can elect to skip set AutoSave's by tapping a button in your settings. Should you need to make longer-term changes, you can of course do that in settings as well.
I will note that, in terms of withdrawals, I have yet to actually attempt a reverse transfer myself so I can't speak to how long the process takes. However the Long Game FAQ site states that funds should take 3-5 business days to clear. On that note, you'll only be able to withdraw funds that have fully cleared in the app. While this is understandable on Long Game's part, I do wish there would be a faster option — even if it means paying a small fee like PayPal and other services offer.
Long Game Debit Card
A couple of months ago I was surprised to discover that Long Game was launching its own debit card. What's more, unlike other FinTechs that announce offerings months before they actually ship, this particular card was already available. So what does this debit card — officially known as Long Game Spending — do exactly?
Opting into Long Game's debit card program was fairly painless but you will need to double check some information before requesting a card. This includes confirming your Social Security Number and completing a series of multiple-choice security questions. Again, this is was all pretty simple and, once I was done, it said my card would be delivered in approximately five business days.
One of my favorite parts of the Long Game debit card is its unique artwork. Featuring a cartoony, snowy mountain that evokes the app's mystical game board aesthetic as well as a pinkish purple-y background, it definitely stands out. And keeping with the trend in cards, the front is smooth (aside from the chip), with the numbers and name only displayed on the back. Overall, A for effort on this one.
Deposits and transfers
Not only does Long Game Spending allow you to easily transfer funds from your Savings Jars but also makes it possible to set up direct deposits. In fact, users can earn free game plays by setting up a direct deposit. To to this, you can tap your initials in the upper left corner, select Account Settings, and look for "Set Up Direct Deposit" under Financial Settings.
Personally, as much as I enjoy Long Game, I'm not ready to make it my primary account. Therefore I haven't set up a direct deposit for myself. However I have transferred funds directly from my main checking to Long Game, which I found took a few days to clear. Luckily, moving money from your Savings to Spending is instant.
Purchases and rewards
The Long Game debit card is a Visa, so you can use it pretty much anywhere cards are accepted. While you will want to set up a PIN for debit transactions, the card will also work if you run it as credit (but you will still need to have enough money, of course). But what's fun about this particular card is that you can unlock free coins and games by using it.
After using my card twice, I found a Prize Chest available on my Long Game home screen. Opening it, I was rewarded with 5k coins and a free Omega Millions entry. Apparently if I make two more purchases, I'll get another Chest as well. At this point it's hard to say for sure just how often these rewards will come up or what you'll actually get from them, but it is admittedly a pretty enjoyable incentive structure.
Another cool feature of Long Game Spending is that you can elect to activate RoundUps. When you do, purchases you make using your debit card will be rounded up to the nearest dollar, with the leftover change being deposited into your Savings Jar. For example, I just purchased a cookie for $2.65 at Starbucks, so $3 was deducted from the Spending while $0.35 went to Savings. In other words, it's basically the Acorns model but for saving instead of investing. By the way, you do earn coins for these RoundUps as well — I got 3.5k coins for that $0.35 RoundUp.
Like many other credit and debit cards these days, the Long Game debit card also makes it easy to manage other aspects of your account. In Financial Settings, you'll find a Card Management tab where you can change your PIN, report a card lost or stolen, or start the process of disputing a charge. You can also temporarily lock your card by toggling on that option. In other words, hopefully you won't need to use the tools in this section too often but it's nice to know they're there.
Thoughts on Long Game Spending and debit card
I have to say that the Long Game debit card is definitely something I saw coming. Nevertheless I think it's a pretty cool idea. Even though I haven't used it enough to measure all the benefits, I do really like the way they've employed the RoundUps model. At the same time, I personally get much greater benefits from credit cards, so I doubt I'll be using the card much myself — but, for others, I think this could be a product worth trying.
Final Thoughts on Long Game
Even if I don't fully understand all of the gamification aspects of Long Game, I've certainly enjoyed spending time on the app so far. With bright colors, fun graphics, and engaging games, I have to say that the app does succeed in its goal of making saving fun. Of course it doesn't hurt that I've managed to win a few cents along the way as well.
On top of that, the lengths Long Game goes to help prevent nightmare scenarios like overdrawn accounts make it even easier for me to recommend to others. That said, I do hope they are able to find a better (read: quicker) solution for withdrawing funds just in case emergencies should strike. To that point, it's certainly best to retain a more accessible stash of cash aside from Long Game.
If there's any critique I have of the app, it's actually that it may be a bit too addicting. Sure getting addicted to saving money probably isn't a bad thing but, as my account balance grows, I do wonder if my funds would be better served in a high-interest account or even invested. Despite that I find myself holding back on making the transfer because I enjoy earning more coins and playing more games.
As I mentioned, Long Game recently overhauled some of its games, adding new animations and designs. For the most part, I like the colorful additions — although I will warn that the "upgrades" can make the games a bit sluggish on older devices (I have an iPhone SE at the moment). Thankfully the games still work for the most part but the extra load times can be a bit frustrating at times.
With that said, all things considered, I really hope Long Game is able to go the distance and help a generation of mobile game addicts improve their personal finances.

Willie says:
Wow, It just made savings more fun. If I am able to spend buying lives or coins for my online games, surely I would not mind saving to unlock more games.
It will depend really on the games, if its engaging or exciting enough fpr people to really stick with it.
This can be fun, no guilt gaming because you can save at the same time.
Margaret Brumfield says:
How do you get back money earned?
Kyle Burbank says:
You can go to the main account page, hit "Make a withdrawal," and select how much you'd like to transfer back to your checking account.
Mine has send pending for the past 7 days. I contacted long game, which was a chore, and they've yet to respond. They also took $5 from my account.
That sounds frustrating. I haven't experienced any of that. Hope you get it resolved!
I have not had the best experience. I am still waiting, it's been two weeks now, for my deposit to post. Not happy.

A Definitive Guide to the Best Video Games of All Time
October 27, 2020 monthlymale
Do you love video games like nothing else? Do you spend all your free time playing video games and checking out the latest and greatest titles?
If you do, you owe it to yourself to play not only the best new games but the best video games of all time. They aren't one and the same. Some of the greatest games ever came out 10, 20, even 30 years ago.
In this guide, we're going to take a look at the best games that have ever been made. If you've not played them, you owe it to yourself to check them out.
Ready to learn more about the best video games? Then read on, find out more, and get ready to game!
1. Super Mario Galaxy
There aren't many games as famous as the Mario series. It's outsold every other franchise, but why? Well, it's a combination of compelling reasons.
The games are fun and easy to pick up, so they're accessible to every age group, but they offer enough difficulty at later levels to remain compelling and interesting. The character design is interesting, the level design is second to none, and the music earworms you like there's no tomorrow.
If you want to experience the franchise at its best, then you need to check out Galaxy. This game takes the level design and world design of Mario 64 and updates it with a whole load of innovative new ideas. It's got a huge selection of wonderful levels, can be played co-op, and its gameplay is almost perfect.
If you've never played a Mario game before, start with this one. It's like no other game out there and you'll fall in love with the game in moments.
2. Metal Gear Solid V
Brought to you by the strange mind of Hideo Kojima, who also made the oddly-compelling courier simulator that is Death Stranding, Metal Gear Solid V is a triumph of game design.
While the story is bipolar, with an amazing first half and terrible second one, that barely matters. If you just want to experience the pinnacle of stealth combat in two different environments, Metal Gear Solid V is impossible to beat. Both of its maps are absolutely massive and loaded with detail.
You can take on enemies in any way you like, from attacking them head on to calling in an airstrike to sneaking past every enemy, you can do whatever you want.
And boy, there's a lot of stuff to do. Here's just a selection of what you can do in the game:
Create strange and wonderful custom weapons
Recruit mercenaries with a Fulton system
Create custom camouflage
Ride horses into battle
Meet the game's director in-game
Enjoy an amazing soundtrack
It's gameplay taken to its highest highs. Play MGS V if you have any love for action games.
3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
There have been a lot of other Grand Theft Auto games since San Andreas and there have been bigger Grand Theft Auto games since. Yet none of that matters. What matters is that this game is the epitome of what GTA games should be.
First off, it had an amazing story. Rooted firmly in the early 1990s, it spoke about police corruption in Los Angeles, the LA riots, the crack epidemic, and the golden age of hip hop. The characters are fantastic too, with most players still able to remember a quote from every main character to this day.
Yet this story would have been for nothing if the world design wasn't up to scratch. In this game, you'll get to explore GTA-ified versions of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Each one of these cities is beautifully realized and you'll have great fun exploring the landmarks from all three cities.
You should explore the rural areas between too. You'll find tons of hidden secrets including a depressed photographer, ghostly planes, and creepy shacks in the woods.
It's a game with so much side content that you could spend hundreds of hours doing nothing but said content. Even now, it's a game that you need to play.
4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Do you want to experience the greatest action role-playing game ever made? Then play The Witcher 3. This is an RPG that can not be bested.
You step into the imposing and overly-manly boots of Geralt, a witcher who hunts monsters. You'll explore multiple areas of a huge map, fighting different monsters as you go. The combat is an absolute joy too, letting you use multiple types of weapons, bombs, and some magic.
This game isn't Diablo, though. Don't go into it thinking that it's light on story.
There has never been a game that has put so much effort into its writing as The Witcher 3. Every side quest has a beautiful, heartbreaking, or interesting story behind it. The world is ravaged by war and the game is going to let you experience every part of that.
That's what makes it one of the top video games. It synthesizes story and action into a mixture that you'll find impossible to put down.
Oh, to top it all off, it's beautiful too. We'd recommend checking out the great computers at lenovo.com if you want to play it at max settings.
5. Disco Elysium
From one amazing role-playing game to another, Disco Elysium is quite unlike any other game. It puts you into the shoes of an anonymous detective tasked with solving a case in a ruined city.
You wake up hungover and don't even know your own name. Your character is a blank slate and it's up to you to learn more about yourself. You get to define everything about your character and there's precious little that you don't have a degree of freedom to deal with as you see fit.
The game is the most smartly-written game ever made and deals with very tough subjects including love, loss, clashing political ideologies, and war crimes. It does all this while staying remarkably funny at times.
It is a daringly intelligent game that you need to experience at some point in your life. When you want to experience the closest thing that gaming has to a magnum opus, play Disco Elysium.
6. World of Warcraft
There has never been a game that's swallowed as many man-hours of potential productivity as World of Warcraft. At its peak, it had 12 million subscribers, more than the population of countries including Switzerland, New Zealand, and Portugal.
So what makes World of Warcraft so addictive? Warcraft wasn't a huge franchise before, so what made it so with WoW?
It has fantastic character creation, an impressive range of classes, amazing quests, and world design that is mesmerizing. You can take on the world solo or join a guild and get cracking on amazing raids.
The thing about WoW is that there's so much to do. You can pour thousands of hours into this expansive masterpiece without getting bored. Once you hit the level cap, all you need to do is make a new character with another class and start over!
There's really nothing quite like World of Warcraft. If you want to experience an MMO of a truly massive scale, nothing can challenge it.
7. Europa Universalis IV
It may be an unlikely candidate for this list: it's not one of the best selling video games of all time after all, but why does that matter? Europa Universalis IV is the ne plus ultra of single-player strategy games. It is the game that you would want if you were marooned on a desert island for years with only one game.
Why? Well, because it's a grand strategy game with a really grand focus. The game takes place between 1444 and 1821 and you could sink hundreds of hours into one run.
You can play as any nation on earth, with most having their own unique national missions and ideas that give them special bonuses and routes to success.
The game lets you rewrite history as you see fit. You can play as a European nation and stop the reformation, play as a native tribe in North America and push the Europeans out, or you can play as China and fight to keep your place as the largest and most advanced nation on Earth.
It's also got a pretty great multiplayer mode, too. It's a big game with a ton of replayability. Buy it and get ready to lose hours of your life.
The Best Video Games of All Time: You Need to Play Them
You need to play these games. They really are the best video games of all time and all offer you a fantastic range of experiences that you can't get anywhere else!

October 29, 2009--5,000 pounds of metal dropped from the Bay Bridge and rained down on commuters between Oakland and San Francisco. Luckily only one motorist was slightly injured. The efforts to replace the bridge continue with a budget that has ballooned from $1.3 billion to $7.2 billion with a 2013 opening.
Some have not felt safe on the bridge since the earthquake of 1989 during the World Series. The recent problem stems from Labor Day repairs which apparently did not completely hold.

Is Sodium Really Bad for Your Health?
There has long been a belief in the health community that high sodium intake can lead to spikes in blood pressure and damage to your heart.
A recent study followed 94,000 adults ages 35 to 70 for eight years in 18 communities. The study, conducted by researchers at McMaster University and published in Lancet, indicates that for most of us, sodium does not increase health risks.
The exception is for those who eat more than 5 grams (about 2.5 teaspoons) a day -- something few of us consume.
That's contrary to the typical amount the World Health Organization recommends, which is about 1 teaspoon per day.
"There is little evidence in terms of improved health outcomes that individuals ever achieve at such a low level," said Andrew Mente, a study author, and researcher at the Population Health Research Institute.
"We found all major cardiovascular problems, including death, decreased in communities and countries where there is an increased consumption of potassium which is found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, dairy foods, potatoes, and nuts and beans," Mente said.
Here's the even better news: Diet-to-Go's traditional and vegetarian menus are, on average, WELL UNDER the five grams-per-day threshold, less than 2,400mg (1 teaspoon) per day. The meals are safe for your health, and (even better) they don't sacrifice on flavor.
What are some of your favorite potassium-rich foods? Share in the comments below!
