In 1776, soon after the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, the leaders of the war got together to write a letter to the King of England. They wanted to explain why they were fighting to be their own country, independent of England. The reason they were splitting off was because they believed that all men are created equal, that all men have some rights given to them by God, and that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The Constitution is a document written by a group of men in 1787. The Constitution is the highest law in the United States. All other laws come from the Constitution in some way. The Constitution also provides the framework for the government of the United States. It creates things like the Presidency, the Congress, and the Supreme Court. Each state has its own constitution that is the highest law for the state — but even then, the United States Constitution is higher. Over time, some things have been added to the Constitution. Called "amendments," these add-ons list some of the rights of the people. By listing these rights, they are made special, and it is illegal for the government to violate those rights. As of 2006, there are 27 amendments to the Constitution. Not all of them involve rights, but many do. The first ten amendments, in particular, have the special name of the Bill of Rights.
The American Revolution, also known as the Revolutionary War, began in 1775. British soldiers and American patriots started the war with battles at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. Colonists in America wanted independence from England. The British government attempted to pass some laws, enforce several taxes, and increase more control over the colonies. The colonies strongly objected to these laws and taxes. They wanted England to have no control over them. For ten years before the war actually started, there was a lot of tension between England and the colonies.The colonies had no central government at the beginning of the war, so delegates from all the colonies were sent to form the first Continental Congress. George Washington, a former military officer and wealthy Virginian, was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.Members of the Continental Congress wrote a letter to King George of England outlining their complaints and declaring their independence from England. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, in which the colonies declared their independence from England.The war ended in 1783, and the United States of America was born.
Lincoln issued the proclamation Jan. 1, 1863. It was a technical document, granting freedom to all slaves in all areas of the Confederacy still in rebellion. The proclamation did not pertain to slaves in the border states, but it did allow for the popular use of African-Americans in the Union Army and Navy. The proclamation also made the war a crusade against slavery, meaning that England and France, both morally opposed to slavery, could not in good conscience ally themselves with the Confederacy.

Fall Prevention - HomeAide Home Care, Inc.
Not only are bathroom falls dangerous – they can be fatal – particularly for seniors who are more fragile or who wind up requiring surgery. Post-surgical declines and complications are known for stripping seniors of their original mobility, health, and well-being. So knowledge of bathroom safety tips should always be collected.
The good news is that the following improvements aren't just good for seniors – they're good for everyone who lives in or visits the home. In fact, while universal and accessible home designs were initially tailored towards the senior population, they're quickly becoming a tenet of good home design in general. When done professionally, these accessible bathroom improvements can increase the resale value of your home down the road.
Slip-proof mats provide significantly more grip than slick bath/shower floors. Even the most subtle shift or slip of the foot can knock seniors off balance and the only surfaces to land upon are hard ones. Similarly, invest in high-quality shower chairs that have slip-proof feet.
Note: It's a good idea to purchase a shower chair before a senior feels s/he needs it. They come in handy, even in the event of a bad flu, the end of a long day, or even something as simple as a sprained ankle.
The first thing we do when we fall is reach out for something to hang on to. If that "something" is a regularly-installed towel rack, odds are one or both sides will pull out of the wall – and that's a dangerous situation. Instead, have a contractor or licensed, professional repairperson install grab bars that are securely anchored into wall studs- rather than sheetrock.
Anywhere else that makes sense depending on the bathroom's size, layout or usage.
Keep in mind that grab bars can be used as a towel rack too, which provides a twofer!
Make sure the rugs in the bathroom are designed for bathroom use – including non-slip backs and ultra-absorbent materials. These wick surface water from the floors, helping to minimize slip risks.
Switching a lower, outdated bathroom toilet for a higher-seated counterpart is a quick fix that makes it easier to sit down and get back up without a struggle. If this isn't possible where you live, you can find different types of raised toilet seats online for very reasonable prices. If it isn't possible to install secure grab bars in the toilet niche, order a seat that has safety bars included.
Make sure seniors can access all of their everyday toiletries, shower/bath items, and extra rolls of toilet paper easily and accessibly. This may require a re-organization of the cabinets and drawers (minimizing the need to bend over or get down on hands and knees), using a shower caddy that hangs from the shower faucet, etc.
The slow loss of vision is a common side effect of aging, and it requires improvements in household lighting. The bathroom is particularly important, as seniors need ample light to read the labels on prescription and over-the-counter medications, and night-lighting allows seniors to find and use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Is the bathroom doorway causing problems for mobility aids? Can the senior make their way into and out of – as well as around – the bathroom without a struggle. It may be time to change door hinging, remove the door altogether or work with a contractor to expand the doorway to an ADA-accessible width. Re-locating towel racks may gain extra inches that help a senior to turn around and access the entirety of the bathroom without getting tripped up.
Interested in learning more about rearranging, updating – or remodeling – to create a safer, senior-friendly bathroom space? Schedule a consultation with a local home care agency. The consultations are free – no-obligation – and provide a wealth of information to help seniors age more independently in place.
Creating a safe and senior friendly home and environment is one of the most important steps in helping seniors to age place. Typically, this involves things like being proactive in terms of fall prevention, moving seniors from an upstairs bedroom to a first-floor room and making the home as accessible as possible for mobility aids.
However, unless a senior is bedbound, odds are they are spending time in your home or the homes of close friends and family members in addition to their own. In this case, it's important that all homes are as senior friendly as possible. In fact, this tenet is becoming so widespread that many contractors and remodeling professionals are advocating "livable" home designs – interior designs that are safe and accessible for all.
If you happen to be planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, talk to the design-build team about accessible or universal design changes that will adapt your kitchen for seniors, children or adults with mobility aids. In addition to making your home safer for senior friends and relatives, you also benefit from a safer and more occupant-friendly environment as well as wider resale appeal.
Even the slightest of injuries, like a sprained ankle, can make it tricky to navigate stairs. So, imagine what it's like when you are weaker, suffer from arthritis or have to use a cane or walker on a regular basis. Stairs are in impossibility for those in a wheelchair. For these reasons, accessible homes include at least one, single-level entryway or a gently sloped ramp so access in and out of the home is both safe and comfortable.
Again, mobility aids make it challenging to navigate narrow hallways and doorways. Even access around the dining room tables, kitchen islands, perimeter countertops, and living room furniture can be a problem. When arranging furniture or designing permanent features, try to keep a width of at least 32-inches between objects so individuals with walkers, crutches or wheelchairs can maneuver without a struggle.
Here's another area where livable designs make for all-around safer homes. Hard surface flooring can be dangerous for adults and children if they aren't made using slip-proof materials. This is especially true for kitchens and bathrooms, where wet floors are more common. That being said, hard-surfaces and low-profile carpets are the easiest for the elderly and those with mobility aids to navigate, so be thoughtful of that when choosing flooring surfaces.
Even if stairs aren't impossible to navigate, they can exacerbate latent physical issues – like arthritic knees and hips, weaker muscles or equilibrium challenges. Stairs also make for a much more dangerous fall if seniors lose their balance. If at all possible, senior guests should have access to a downstairs bedroom, even if that means temporarily converting a den, office or child's room into a guest room.
If a senior will be staying with you for more than a day or two, or if a senior relative will be moving in, you may need to re-organize your cabinets. Keep everyday dishware, mugs and cooking utensils in easy-to-reach places. Typically, this includes the upper shelving in bottom cabinets and lower shelving in the upper cabinets. The same goes for the bathroom. The ideas are to eliminate as bending/crouching- or requiring a step stool – as much as possible. If you' are considering a remodel, look into cabinetry with pull-out shelving, which makes storage even more convenient.
Need help making your home a senior friendly home? Consider a consultation with HomeAide Home Care. Our consultations are always free and we'll leave you with tips and recommendations on simple changes that will make your home more safe and accessible for all of its occupants.
Preventing elderly falls is crucial. Every year, more than 30% of adults over the age of 65 fall down. These falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries for that age bracket and in 2010, direct medical costs as the result of an elderly fall totaled more than $30 billion dollars.
Of course, the "cost" of an elderly fall isn't purely financial. Minor brain injuries can be more detrimental for adults diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's and increasing medical studies show the anesthesia associated with knee/hip replacement surgeries have more negative cognitive effects than we realized.
For these reasons, we highly recommend you adhere to these 10 tips to prevent elderly falls and increase your quality of life.
The weaker your muscles are, the more prone you are to falls. Exercise is good for the mind, body, and spirit. Plus, it will strengthen muscles and help to maintain your sense of balance.
If your body is malnourished or your blood sugar drops, you are likely to become shaky, dizzy and/or disoriented. All of these side-effects put you at risk for falls. Drink lots of water. Eat five small meals a day, concentrating on healthy proteins, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
Things like low blood pressure can also contribute to falls. Make sure you attend your annual physical, even if you're feeling "fit as a fiddle" so your doctor can catch and monitor things you might not be able to feel going on with your body.
Eyesight is a funny thing; the brain is good at compensating even when vision has diminished considerably. Unfortunately, vision loss causes depth perception issues and makes it harder to see things in your peripheral. Have your eyes checked at least once a year after you turn 65.
Schedule a consultation with your pharmacist.
Doctors and pharmacists try their best to make sure your medicines work in harmony with one another. Even so, there can be occasional glitches. Schedule a consultation with your pharmacist and have him/her review your medications to make sure none of them cause dizziness or drowsiness that may make you more susceptible to a fall.
Try not to rush around. This is especially true after moving from a seated or prone position to standing. Sudden drops in blood pressure can make you dizzy, and it increases the chances of instability or even a small fainting spell that can cause you to fall.
Hire a handyman to come install grab bars near your toilet, shower, bathtub, etc. You might feel like you don't need them but you'll be surprised how often you use them once they're in place.
This is a good time to evaluate your home and eliminate trip hazards, such as cords, area rugs, small tables, etc., that are easy to stumble over.
Make sure your lighting is adequate. If you have macular degeneration, cataracts or other vision issues, increase your bulb wattage just a bit to compensate. Put exterior lights and strategically placed interior lights on motion sensitive and/or time-sensitive timers so you never have to navigate your home or exterior in the complete dark.
Don't hesitate to get professional help for tasks like cleaning, yard work, running errands, etc. You can pick your favorite tasks and let a professional home care provider help with the rest.
Schedule a free consultation with HomeAide Home Care, Inc. and we'll assess your home for potential fall risks and helpful tips for preventing elderly falls.
As our parents age it is a great idea to take a look at their surroundings with a different set of eyes. Is their home safe for them? Is it getting increasingly difficult for them to perform everyday tasks? There are many features of a home that can make it difficult for the elderly to manage. Simply take a look at the multitude of products on the market to assist in the modification of a home – you will be amazed at all of the problem areas that need to be addressed.
Let's take a look at some of the improvements that can make your aging parent's environment more accessible and safe. This list will provide a good starting point.
Many of the items listed are quick fixes while others may require a bit more effort to implement. The goal is to make moving around the home and performing everyday task as easy and as safe as possible for your aging parents.

The Craziest World Record in Every State
Lindsay Tigar
Find out the wild record that happened in your state.
Alabama: The biggest bubble ever blown

Mom might have told you to stop playing with your bubble gum, but Chad Fell from Alabama never listened. Instead, he kept practicing and eventually blew the biggest pink bubble ever, coming in at 50.8 cm (that's 20 inches, for reference) at Double Springs High School in Winston County, Alabama. How did he pull it off? Simple: just a mere three pieces of Dubble-Bubble gum. Here's a list of 50 astonishing facts in every state that you don't want to miss.
Alaska: Largest collection of four-leaf clovers
Jadet Poonsittichok/Shutterstock
When you're waiting for an outdoor concert to begin or lounging on a blanket, enjoying a picnic with pals, you might get distracted by grass. As a childhood launching pad, those green blades could help you whistle, reveal dirt, and of course, bring the luck of the Irish, via the prized four-leaf clover. One Alaskan man, Edward Martin Sr., never stopped searching for that pot of gold. He achieved the world record for the largest collection of four-leaf goodies, coming it at 111,060. Talk about luck!

The Trek Collective: Home video round up: First Into Darkness details, TNG details, and hope for DS9!
Home video round up: First Into Darkness details, TNG details, and hope for DS9!
Amazon have now made their listings for Star Trek Into Darkness on Bluray and DVD available for pre-order, and updated them with the first details of the various releases. Like the previous film, there will be a high end bluray release with a collectable. Last time it was a model of the USS Enterprise, this time it appears to be a new version of the QMx phaser, and unlike the current version it seems this phaser has the rotating stun/kill barrel function. Very cool!
If you don't want something so fancy, there are currently three other options listed: Either 3D bluray, standard bluray, or DVD. No news yet of what extra features there will be. The previous film had many more releases, issues with other collectables, and in single or multi-disc options; so I wouldn't be too surprised if more options appear over the coming months.
Also, "In Conversation: The Art Department" special feature offers unprecedented insight into the creation of some of the series' most iconic designs through interviews with production designer Herman Zimmerman, illustrator Doug Drexler, illustrator and technical consultant Rick Sternbach, scenic art supervisor Michael Okuda, scenic artist Denise Okuda and FX maestro Dan Curry, each revealing fascinating background into how the series cemented the look of the 24th century.
Rob Bowman and Mike & Denise Okuda on Brothers.
Ronald D. Moore, Brannon Braga and Mike & Denise Okuda on Reunion.
Deleted scenes will be from The Best Of Both Worlds, Part II, Family, Brothers, Final Mission, The Wounded, Galaxy's Child, Qpid, and The Host.
Along with an extensive audio commentary from Moore and scenic artists/Star Trek consultants Mike and Denise Okuda, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION – REDEMPTION BLU-RAY includes the exclusive documentary, "Survive and Succeed: An Empire at War." This newly produced special feature explores the Klingon mythology of Star Trek: The Next Generation and features all-new interviews with writer/producer Moore, who, in addition to "Redemption," wrote some of the franchise's most memorable Klingon storylines, and some of the actors who played the most renowned Klingon characters including Michael Dorn (Worf), Robert O'Reilly (Gowron) and Gwynyth Walsh (B'Etor).
TrekCore also recently posted some exciting news regarding DS9 on bluray. The amazing work that is currently being done to restore TNG is time consuming and expensive, but made easier by the fact that they are able to recompose existing film elements to make the special effects. In DS9 however CGI was used a lot more, especially in the big Dominion War battles. One big question is whether any of the original CGI files still existed, and could be used, to rebuild the episodes - If not, to make DS9 in HD they would have to recreate all those effects from scratch!
[Deep Space Nine] is much more difficult for the last three [seasons] because of the combination of CG and motion control – and when there was CG, it was usually those massive, full-blown war scenes. Going back and revisiting it isn't as simple as just hitting 'render', but it's still pretty straightforward.
If they ask one of us – and if they use a team that uses LightWave – it'll be much easier for them to redo… because the guys who worked on it, like me, have the assets. We have the original ships; we have most of everything that was used [in the making of the series]. That would eliminate a ton of the cost of rebuilding.
So, how would I approach it? The same way I did at the time – I'd figure out what was done in CG, and we'd just start from there. And today, it would be easier! Literally, you could just load the scene files and hit 'render' – it would be done! I mean, not everything… but a lot more than you'd think.
He was even able to render a shot for TrekCore!
Ready for bluray HD shot!
Hope for DS9 on bluray grows! Check out TrekCore's full report for more details.

The Art Science Of Respect
Author : James Prince
Publisher: Amistad
The Art Science Of Respect written by James Prince and has been published by Amistad this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-07-23 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Foreword by Drake The successful Hip Hop mogul, boxing manager, and entrepreneur who has had a lasting impact on modern popular music reveals the foundation of his success--respect--and explains how to get it and how to give it. "I was taught that you must believe in something bigger than yourself in order to get something bigger than yourself." For decades, serial entrepreneur James Prince presided over Rap-A-Lot Records, one of the first and most successful independent rap labels. In this powerful memoir, told with the brutal, unapologetic honesty that defines him, Prince explains how he earned his reputation as one of the most respected men in Hip Hop and assesses his wins, his losses, and everything he's learned in between. Throughout his life, Prince has faced many adversaries. Whether battling the systemic cycle of poverty that shaped his youth, rival record label executives, greedy boxing promoters, or corrupt DEA agents, he has always emerged victorious. For Prince, it was about remaining true to his three principles of heart, loyalty, and commitment, and an unwavering faith in God. The Art & Science of Respect brings into focus a man who grew up in a place where survival is everything and hope just a concept; who outlived most of his childhood friends by age twenty-four; who raised seven children; who helped develop international superstars like Drake and world champion boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Andre Ward; who rose to the heights of a cutthroat business that has consumed the souls of ambitious hustlers and talented artists alike. Throughout this raw memoir, Prince's love of family, music, boxing, and Houston's Fifth Ward-- "Texas' toughest, proudest, baddest ghetto" (Texas Monthly)--shines through. Yet one major lesson looms over all: Respect isn't given, it's earned. In recounting his compelling life story, Prince analyzes the art and science of earning respect--and giving respect--and shows how to apply these principles to your life.

Get the Key to the Boardroom with Powerful Executive Presence! "This book can be a key aid in helping you make it to the next level! Great coaching for anyone who is even thinking of becoming an executive!" Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There "On the corporate battlefield a true leader's success is based upon his or her ability to communicate effectively, persuade others to follow a goal, and execute it. This leads to success for all. When the stakes are high, you're well advised to read this book first." Scott A. Gaines, vice president, Hertz Corporation "If you are seriously looking to be perceived in the light you choose, Executive Presence is the book that not only answers the question, but shows you how to apply the answers." Kevin Hogan, author of The Psychology of Persuasion "Harrison Monarth is a first-rate thinker who writes as clearly as he thinks. No matter where you are on the career ladder, Executive Presence will put you a step ahead of your competition." T. Scott Gross, author of Positively Outrageous Service "Most people know that to move up in your career, you need to have self-awareness and the ability to manage the perceptions of those whose opinions count. . . . Executive Presence is your comprehensive guide to help you become more profi cient at self-marketing and the art of ethical persuasion to achieve your personal and professional goals." Larina Kase, PsyD, MBA, author of The Confident Leader and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Confident Speaker About the Book An expert in coaching high-level players in the art of perception management, Harrison Monarth reveals the critical difference between CEOs and those of us who wish to be CEOs. It's not a matter of intelligence, connections, or luck. It can be summed up in two words: executive presence. While most of us toil in obscurity and expect great things to follow, those on the path to corporate leadership spend their time perfecting the types of leadership communication skills that generate respect and get others to share their vision. They use these skills to establish how they are perceived by others and to manage their reputation throughout the organization. In other words, these soon-tobe top players have developed the presence of an executive through careful image management—and they make sure they have the goods to back it up. In Executive Presence, Monarth shows how you can seize control of your own career using the same skills. Inside, he explains how to: Accurately "read" people and predict their behavior Influence the perceptions of others Persuade those of opposing views to your side Create and maintain a personal "brand" Manage and control your online reputation Perform damage control when things go wrong Monarth's conclusions aren't based solely on his keen insight and extensive experience; they're the result of the latest scientifi c research in interpersonal communication and human behavior. Talent and skills are important, but they alone won't take you to the top of your organization. People reach highly infl uential positions because they deeply understand the power of perception and know how to leverage it in their favor. The good news is, anyone with the will to succeed can do it. Executive Presence provides all the techniques you need to take your career to the highest level of any organization.

This is a book that's long overdue: One that provides information that has never before been published, compiled or analyzed in a way that's designed to help fighters. This is a guide to the science of kicking and punching that can settle the debates about which techniques are the most effective and why. It will help a fighter to fight, an instructor to teach and martial artists to advance by working things out for themselves. There is no magic involved in the martial arts. The force and power that is displayed by an expert fighter is the consequence of rigorous training in the accurate application of physical laws. Understanding how to use these laws of physics to create massive impact forces will provide a personal insight into the practice of correct technique and form. This unique piece of work will act as a technical reference that provides the facts and figures that fighters seek, including records of the maximum force and speed achieved by some of the best present day warriors, helping to answer many of the most difficult questions in the martial arts.

The Crack Era: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of Kevin Chiles chronicles one of the most treacherous periods in New York City's history. As told by a man The New York Times once described as, "The biggest drug lord in Harlem since Nicky Barnes," Chiles lays bare the harrowing exploits of the narcotics trade Uptown during the late '80s and early '90s - a world where the lust for freebase cocaine set off a veritable gold rush that turned ghetto boys into young millionaires almost overnight. "Baseheads" wreaked havoc on the black community. What's worse, upper Manhattan became the epicenter of murder and mayhem as drug related killings pushed the city's annual death toll well into the thousands. A teenager at the time, Kevin earned a rep' as a boss among bosses and, along with a handful of hustlers from his 'hood, he would directly influence the very music and fashion that ushered in the golden age of hip hop. The crack epidemic parlayed money, power, and respect for Kev but it also took his freedom as well as the lives of close friends and family. Now, this candid memoir exposes liars, dispels urban myths, and sheds light on an otherwise dark epoch that has bittersweet implications for many today. Having seen and survived it all, one of America's most iconic street figures recounts a bygone era of fast cash and high stakes hustling in Harlem.

title:  "HMAC sig and Coinbase API Access"
date:   2017-08-02 07:18:44
categories: security
excerpt: "generating a keyed-hash message authentication code with ruby"
tags:
  - hash
---

I've been playing around with the [Coinbase API](https://developers.coinbase.com/), which requires a special "signature" header be included on http requests.  This header is comprised of the following elements (per the [documentation](https://developers.coinbase.com/api/v2#api-key)):
> The CB-ACCESS-SIGN header is generated by creating a sha256 HMAC using the secret key on the prehash string timestamp + method + requestPath + body (where + represents string concatenation)

This seemed like a fun challenge so I wrote a little thing in Ruby to create this header.

*Notes*
1. [Here's some info on the HMAC standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code)
2. this paragraph helped me to understand the reason why HMAC works:
* HMAC does not encrypt the message. Instead, the message (encrypted or not) must be sent alongside the HMAC hash. Parties with the secret key will hash the message again themselves, and if it is authentic, the received and computed hashes will match.

Ruby has a wrapper around the openssl library which makes this a fairly straightforward process.

Create a file `hmac-maker.rb` and include the following:

{% highlight ruby %}
# using ruby 2.2.2
require 'openssl'

key = "YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY_GOES_HERE"

timestamp = ARGV[0]   # number of seconds since Unix Epoch
method = ARGV[1]      # http verb in UPPER CASE
requestPath = ARGV[2] # ex: /v2/accounts
body = ARGV[4] || ""  # defaulted to empty string

data = timestamp + method + requestPath + body

puts OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(OpenSSL::Digest.new('sha256'), key, data)
{% endhighlight %}

Let's call our script from the terminal and pass it the required values:

{% highlight bash %}
ruby hmac-maker.rb $(date +"%s") "GET" "/v2/accounts"
{% endhighlight %}

Now we can use this inside a bash curl script to start exploring the API.

`touch make-authenticated-request.sh` *don't forget the chmod*
{% highlight bash %}
#!/bin/bash

TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%s")
METHOD=$1
RESOURCE=$2
BODY=${3:-""}
SIGNATURE=$(ruby hmac-maker.rb $TIMESTAMP $METHOD $RESOURCE $BODY)

curl -s -X $METHOD \
  https://api.coinbase.com$RESOURCE \
  -H "cb-access-key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -H "cb-access-sign: $SIGNATURE" \
  -H "cb-access-timestamp: $TIMESTAMP" \
  -H "cb-version: 2017-06-09" \
  -H "content-type: application/json"
{% endhighlight %}

usage:
{% highlight bash %}
./make-authenticated-request.sh GET "/v2/accounts" | jq
{% endhighlight %}

Dungeon World
dungeon world, Role Playing
On Mondays We are playing an exciting Indie Role Playing game called Dungeon World see the Calendar for start times etc
Whats is Dungeon World?
Dungeon World is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. Created by Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel, the game uses the Powered by the Apocalypse engine originally designed for Apocalypse World and used in Monsterhearts and other games. The game was advertised as having old school style with modern rules.
Dungeon World uses the Powered by the Apocalypse engine to produce old school Dungeons & Dragons play. The game uses the same six ability scores used by D&D (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma). Dungeon World also uses D&D character classes: the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, and Wizard. There are also additional third-party classes available for sale on RPGNow.
Like other Powered by the Apocalypse games, actions in Dungeon World are called moves. When a player character makes a move, the player rolls two six sided dice and adds the appropriate ability modifier. On a result of 10+ the move succeeds without complication. On a result of 7-9 the move partially succeeds or succeeds with a problem, allowing the GM to make a move of their own. On a result of 6 or less the move fails, giving the character XP and allowing the GM to make a move. Characters share general moves and gain unique moves from their class.
To represent character relationships and facilitate quick setup, each class lists Bonds which show before the game starts how the characters see each other, filling one name of one other player character in the blank space of each bond. Example bonds are:
_______________ owes me their life, whether they admit it or not.
I have sworn to protect _______________.
I worry about the ability of _______________ to survive in the dungeon.
_______________ is soft, but I will make them hard like me.
I was born in 1965, I have been a member of the Club since 1982. I play mainly boardgames and Role Playing games but I also love Ancient and Medieval games. I started gaming when I was old enough to stand an Airfix Soldier up on my parents carpet. I moved up to Model Making kits and eventually found Donald Featherstone wargame rules at the local library, since then my life has always included gaming, be it online or social face to face gaming at the club.
Phil Crompton 21/11/2014 at 20:23
A totally new slant on rpg'ing – where the players create the game world and populate it. If you have a vivid imagination and can think on your feet then this is the game for you. Rather than be restricted to the rigid world you are playing in – this time the World is partly yours – 'cos you thought of it.

Don't you sometimes wonder why the West (America & Europe) celebrate the news of university admission like every other important occasion in their lives?
There was also a time when Nigerians basked in the euphoria of securing admission in top Nigerian universities but the labor market has somewhat desensitized us to what was once considered a laudable feat.
These days, you hardly ever hear anybody talk about the tertiary institutions they attend and I guess this grim trend is predicated on the shambolic state of the country's educational system. I mean, what's there to celebrate when your first class degree wouldn't land you a job, let alone a dream one?
What's there to celebrate when your second class upper degree will be considered out there as another honorary title?
An average Westerner knows that a certificate from Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, Imperial College, UCLA etc. are golden passwords to lofty jobs. The average Westerner knows that these are schools that open all doors. They know all this too well because the system has been set up for their personal and collective prosperity.
Ours is a country of many ills; a country where lecturers tell you that A belongs to God and B to them, where they openly determine the pass rate in their courses long before exams even take place, where school authorities only bother to lobby for government funds to be spent on white elephant projects instead of value-adding student-oriented services, where the so-called university Dons and whatever else they call them hardly lobby for job spaces for graduates of their resident tertiary institution.
We all know our story too well and wish things could change. But the more things change, the more they remain the same.
This is one of the numerous reasons why you need to register to vote at the 2019 elections. It'll be an election that MUST be preceded by presidential debates, intellectual grills and the whole nine yards. The USA's unemployment rate is at an all-time low at 4% while ours has climbed for nine consecutive years and now stands at 14.2%. Bear in mind that the USA's population is almost twice the size of ours, so, do the math.
Don't listen to the harbingers of doom trying to discourage you from registering. Hearken to your own voice, go out there and register.
Take no chances, take no prisoners.

Of Course There Are Things to Do in Louisville Beyond the Kentucky Derby
Yes, drinking bourbon is one of them!
Facebook @atgsmokehouse
If you haven't yet visited Louisville, Kentucky, you might be surprised at all that this Southern city has to offer. Of course, it's home to the Kentucky Derby, the annual Triple Crown race at Churchill Downs racetrack, but there's so much more to discover. Expect art-filled boutique hotels, farm-to-table restaurants, and plenty of places to sip bourbon. Here are some of the best things to do while visiting Louisville.
Tour the Louisville Slugger Museum
While in town, take a tour of the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, where the world-famous baseball bats are produced (Babe Ruth was a fan). You'll definitely want to snap a few selfies in front of the 120-foot-tall bat on the building's exterior.
More: While in Louisville, Don't Miss the Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Cruise Along the Ohio River
Taking an Ohio River cruise aboard a historic paddlewheeler is a fun thing to do in Louisville. Book a 2-hour lunch cruise aboard the Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark, which includes a three-course meal and live music.
Sip Bourbon in a Downtown Distillery
Before you hit the large-scale distilleries outside of town, have a tasting in a downtown distillery. Angel's Envy is known for its small-batch port barrel-finished bourbon, while the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience has tastings in a speakeasy-style saloon.
Snap Photos at Churchill Downs
No trip to Louisville is complete without seeing Churchill Downs, the legendary racetrack where the Kentucky Derby is held each May. A guided tour of the iconic 1875 track and paddock is included with admission to the Kentucky Derby Museum, located on the grounds. If you'd love to attend the Derby one day, be sure to book well ahead, as tickets and hotels sell out quickly.
More: Stand Out at the Kentucky Derby in These Stylish Hats
Dine in Louisville's Culinary Hotspots
Fork & Barrel
Have dinner in places like Fork & Barrel, serving seasonal farm-to-table fare like pappardelle pasta with scallops and country ham, and Red Hog, an artisan butcher shop/cafe, with craft cocktails, house-made charcuterie, and pulled-pork sandwiches.
Explore the Muhammed Ali Center
The Muhammed Ali Center is a museum dedicated to the legendary Louisville-born boxer and activist (born Cassius Clay in 1942). Wander amid memorabilia, watch videos of his most famous fights, and view historical footage of the Civil Rights era.
Sleep in a Louisville Landmark
The Brown Hotel
Dating from 1923, The Brown Hotel is a Louisville institution. Its Old World lobby is always a hive of activity, and the 293 rooms feature mahogany furnishings and marble baths. Even if you don't stay, stop by the Lobby Bar for a bourbon flight and dinner in the English Grill.
Check Out the Craft Brewery Scene
Kentucky is synonymous with bourbon, but the Bluegrass State also has its share of craft breweries. One of Louisville's top brewhouses is Against the Grain, housed in a former train station, serving up IPAs and ales in an industrial-chic space.
Make Time for a Coffee Break
Instagram @plsthnks
Touring can be tiring, so make a pit stop at Please & Thank You, a hipster coffee shop/record shop where you can sip coffee from local roasters Gold Folks Coffee and snack on freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, all while browsing the new and used vinyl records.
Sleep Amid World-Class Artwork
21c Museum Hotel is an art-themed boutique hotel on downtown's Museum Row. Its in-house museum houses a world-class contemporary art collection that spans five restored 19th-century warehouses, and guided docent tours are offered twice a week.
Order a Diet-Busting Hot Brown
Facebook @brownhotel
An iconic Louisville dish is the Hot Brown, an open-faced turkey sandwich topped with thick-cut bacon and tomatoes, and baked in a Mornay cheese sauce. It was created at The Brown Hotel, and that's still a top place to order it, as is the Bristol Bar & Grill.
Sign Up for a Segway Tour
Learn about the city's waterfront on a 2-hour guided Segway Tour, which will take you through Waterfront Park, where you'll have unobstructed views of the city's Big Four Bridge, which links the park to Jeffersonville, Indiana, over the Ohio River.
Spend the Day on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail
In nearby Clermont is the Jim Beam distillery, where you can take a tour to see how one of the world's top-selling bourbons goes from grain to barrel. At Maker's Mark in Loretto, you can have a tour, tasting and lunch at its Star Hill Provisions restaurant.

#football #Asian Cup
S. Korean starting goalkeeper job up for grabs ahead of Asian Cup
All News 09:14 January 03, 2019
ABU DHABI, Jan. 3 (Yonhap) -- With a key continental tournament just around the corner, the starting goalkeeper job for the South Korean men's football team remains very much up for grabs.
For the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup kicking off on Saturday, South Korea head coach Paulo Bento has selected three custodians: Kim Seung-gyu, Jo Hyeon-woo and Kim Jin-hyeon. The team's first group match is against the Philippines on Monday.
These three were also on South Korea's World Cup team in June in Russia, with Jo starting all three group matches and emerging as an unlikely star in a 2-0 shock win over Germany.
But in seven matches since Bento took over last summer, Kim Seung-gyu has made the most starts -- four -- followed by Jo with two matches and Kim Jin-hyeon with one.
At 37 caps, Kim Seung-gyu also has the most international experience, followed by Kim Jin-hyeon with 16 caps and Jo with 11.
31-year-old Kim Jin-hyeon is the oldest of the bunch but has more Asian Cup experience than the other two. He beat Kim Seung-gyu for the starting job at the previous Asian Cup in 2015 and led South Korea to the runner-up finish behind Australia while allowing only two goals in five matches. Both of them came against Australia in the championship match, and Kim posted four consecutive clean sheets prior to that.
This time around, Kim Seung-gyu appears to have the inside track for the job, after starting in South Korea's final pre-Asian Cup tuneup match on New Year's Eve against Saudi Arabia.
But he was barely tested in the match, which ended in a scoreless draw, and Jo may get another look in the group stage, which opens with Monday's game against the Philippines in Dubai, before Bento makes up his mind.
At the 2015 Asian Cup, Kim Jin-hyeon and Kim Seung-gyu split the first two matches, before then head coach Uli Stielike ran with Kim Jin-hyeon the rest of the way.
One national team official wouldn't rule out the possibility that the goalkeeping situation will play out much the same way this time.
"Honestly, it's difficult to tell from practices which one will be our starter," the official said. "The competition is really tight. It'll be interesting to see what Coach Bento will ultimately decide to do."

Q: Error with boost::serialization::shared_ptr_helper By including , I get the error:
/usr/local/include/boost/serialization/shared_ptr_helper.hpp:182:20: error: no matching function for
call to 'std::map<const void*, std::shared_ptr<void>, std::less<const void*>, std::allocator<std::
pair<const void* const, std::shared_ptr<void> > > >::insert(std::pair<const void*, std::
shared_ptr<const bagel::Atom> >)'
             result = m_o_sp->insert(std::make_pair(oid, s));

What's wrong?? The version of std and boost are both the newest.

A: Your breakage is probably the result of a change in the Boost Serialization library in v1.56.  I have experienced similar problems as a result.  After a day of searching, testing, pulling my hair out, etc. I found (actually my colleague found) this bug filed against Boost:
"Compilation of serializing shared_ptr<const Object> fails" (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10488)
The bad news is that the bug as been closed and the behavior deemed "an improvement."  I disagree and may try to get the bug re-opened.

UPDATE 5/24/15: The Boost bug has received more attention and was reportedly fixed "4 weeks ago."  No final word on which version contains the fix, but as of 1.58 it seemed NOT to be in yet.

A: You certainly do not get that "by including". I know this, because bagel::Atom is not a part of boost.
You simply cannot expect to store a shared_ptr<const bagel::Atom> > into a std::shared_ptr<void> without an explicit cast (static_pointer_cast?).
Using
std::map<void*, std::shared_ptr<void> >

is a huge design smell though. You can definitely not expect any of that to be automatically serialized anyway (because, how would void be usefully serialized?)

It has been now 2 weeks since the Las Vegas False Flag and instead of having more Answers we now find ourselves asking if even the basic information that CNN and Las Vegas Police Department and the FBI are telling us are even True or Not. It is a complete fiasco and charade. It seems as if the 911 A-Team has retired and gone back to the Caves from which they came.
Us mortals are left merely with more Questions and fleeting few Answers.
Here is our attempt to contribute to the Las Vegas Attack Investigation is active across all continents and timelines with the Jason Aldean Code. We will be adding more videos time and resources permitting.
In the video we forgot to mention that there are actually 4 Rituals are in Play right now and 3 have already occurred. The Blood Ritual was Las Vegas, the Fire Ritual was the Directed Energy Weapons in California, the Wind Ritual was the Hurricanes in past 2 months, and the last one still in the works and the next one to Hit will be the Water Ritual.
It was Earth, Fire, Water and Wind Elements and the only element missing was the 5th Element, another Hollywood Vision Board Movie hint.
This Water Ritual will in the coming Tsunami, Destruction, Flooding of New York City as has been broadcast in the U2 War Album, Kleck's Decoding of the $10 USD Bill, and It Is Finished Decoding.
Some of the videos referenced in this video are linked below because YouTube now will not even let us upload video longer than 30 minutes and keeps rejecting videos for different reasons as the days pass. Therefore, it is also time that we move past YouTube and direct our resources and energies.
The Shoes Missing is actually from the Ole Dammegard interivew and not Kleck or Quinn or MrCati as we stated incorrectly in the video. The missing shoes are eerily reminiscent of the Manchester Masonic Ritual where the Crisis Actors were caught with Shoes Missing and Pant Legs Rolled Up.
The Concert Video with the Devil's Hand Sign.
The Burnin' It Down Music Video.
Notice the Occult Predictive Programming with the Red Hew of the Cowboy Boots and Ladies Shoes on the Floor in a Red Sea of Blood as int he Exodus out of Egypt Reference?
If you need help with your Crisis Management then please give Crisis Solutions and Serco a call.

This page tells you about the laws and regulations that govern how fresh water is managed.
The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) is the main piece of legislation that sets out how we manage our environment. It covers both water use (how water is taken, used, dammed or diverted) and discharges (how pollutants enter the water). It sets out requirements that local councils need to meet, processes they need to follow, and things they need to consider when making decisions. It also sets out the roles and responsibilities of central government.
The Government is responsible for making regulations that councils and water users have to follow. As well as administering the RMA (including making amendments to it on occasion), the Government provides 'national direction' for water through regulations such as national policy statements, national environmental standards and other regulations.
These give councils specific instructions about how to carry out their functions under the RMA to achieve the outcomes the Government considers nationally important (eg, protecting the health of our freshwater ecosystems and the health of people).
The National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 (Freshwater NPS) is the main source of national direction about how councils should carry out their responsibilities for managing fresh water. It directs regional councils to consider specific matters and to meet certain requirements when they are developing regional plans for fresh water.
The Freshwater NPS requires regional councils to identify what is 'valued' about a certain water body, in consultation with their communities. They must then set 'freshwater objectives' to ensure those values are provided for.
Freshwater objectives could be about what the appropriate level of water quality needs to be to provide for the things people value (eg, being able to gather food safely, swim, or for a river to exist in its natural state). It also requires councils to work out what needs to be managed (eg, contaminants, flow, habitat or land use) to achieve the objectives they've set.
The Resource Management (Measurement and Reporting of Water Takes) Regulations 2010 require water users taking water at a rate of 5 litres or more to measure and report on how much they're taking, so we have good information about how much water is being used.
The New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement, administered by the Department of Conservation guides local authorities in their management of the coastal environment (which includes some freshwater bodies, is affected by freshwater bodies).
The National Environmental Standard for Plantation Forestry regulates the way that some plantation forestry activities may be carried out. Conditions and restrictions in the NES manage the environmental effects of these forestry activities, which can include effects on water quality. The NES is administered by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
Both local and central government have a role to play in making sure drinking water is safe.
The National Environmental Standard for Sources of Human Drinking Water sets out the requirements regional councils must follow to protect sources of human drinking water from contamination.
It requires regional councils to ensure that effects of activities on drinking water sources are considered in decisions on resource consents and regional plans.
The Health Act 1956 [New Zealand Legislation website] sets out requirements that need to be followed to protect public health by improving the quality of drinking-water provided to communities.


After an epic US Open quarter-final that lasted nearly five hours, Rafael Nadal paid tribute to his opponent, Dominic Thiem.
"A great battle", Nadal told ESPN. "But in some way, being honest, I had a very tough injury in 2005".
"I would say the first really epic match that I played. I just wish him all the very, very best".
A 10-minute break will be allowed between the second and third sets of women's singles matches if either player requests one. "I don't think he's really sorry", said the 25-year-old. "He is young and has plenty of time to win tournaments".
But she trailed by a break in the opening set, and then was a point from being behind 4-1, before turning things around. "It's good to have now two days [without a match] that probably give me the chance to be 100 per cent in the semi-finals". "Forever I'm going to remember this match, for sure".
At this point, Thiem had to ask for a new pair of shoes and socks because his were waterlogged from sweating so much. Del Potro, who has been the most dominant men's player this year, will have to go full throttle if he has to release Nadal's stranglehold over him. "Beating John in these kind of matches is like an epic, an epic match".

The Husband and I have taken to eating rice crackers as a way of staving off the impulse to devour our own hands during the terrible hour before dinner. These crackers come in a bunch of flavors. (My favorite is wasabi). They're thin and crispy. And – the best part – 16 of them (one portion) clock in at a total of only 110 calories.
In this recipe, our wasabi rice crackers provide a tasty, crunchy crust for the salmon, requiring only a little "glue" to keep them in place. One of the few five-ingredient recipes to which I wasn't dying to add something, this little wonder, in my opinion, is perfect as is.
Most Atlantic salmon are farm raised while most Pacific salmon are wild caught. Although farmed salmon outnumber wild salmon 85 to 1 in US markets, only wild-caught salmon from Alaska is certified as sustainable by The Marine Stewardship Council. For more information on Wild Alaskan Salmon go to Alaska Salmon.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the sour cream, mustard, and brown sugar. Coarsely crush the crackers (about 1 cup).
Season the salmon on all sides with salt; arrange it in one layer in a shallow baking pan, skinned side down. Spread the top of each piece with the sour cream mixture and top with the crushed crackers.
Bake the salmon 10 to 12 minutes, until barely cooked through.

Canada's Economic Action Plan Creates Jobs and Improves Housing on Reserve in Nova Scotia
February 04, 2011 12:15 ET | Source: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation;Canada's Economic Action Plan;Pictou Landing First Nation
PICTOU LANDING FIRST NATION, TRENTON, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 4, 2011) - The Government of Canada, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), announced today an investment of close to $3.8 million as part of the year two funding through Canada's Economic Action Plan to improve housing conditions in First Nation communities across Nova Scotia.
The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament for Central Nova, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), made the announcement along with members of the Pictou Landing First Nation community today.
"Year two of Canada's Economic Action Plan demonstrates that our Government remains committed to improving housing conditions for First Nation communities in the great province of Nova Scotia," said Minister MacKay. "Today's investment will provide quality, affordable housing while creating jobs and stimulating the local economy."
A federal investment of close to $3.8 million through Canada's Economic Action Plan will be made available to thirteen First Nations in Nova Scotia to address immediate housing needs.
Through Canada's Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada has committed $400 million over the past two years to help close to 500 First Nation communities build needed new housing, repair and remediate existing non-profit housing for their members, and complement housing programs offered by CMHC. This investment has also provided an economic stimulus for many First Nations and surrounding areas by creating jobs.
CMHC has allocated close to $2.7 million to retrofit 261 housing units on-reserve in thirteen First Nation communities in Nova Scotia, as well as nearly $1.1 million for subsidies associated with 10 new housing units under construction in six First Nations communities in Nova Scotia. In addition to Pictou Landing, the other First Nation communities across the province receiving funding include: Acadia First Nation, Annapolis Valley First Nation, Bear River First Nation, Chapel Island First Nation, Eskasoni First Nation, Glooscap First Nation, Indian Brook First Nation (Shubenacadie Band Council), Membertou First Nation, Millbrook First Nation, Paqtnkek First Nation, Wagmatcook First Nation, and Waycobah First Nation.
"Pictou Landing First Nation would like to extend appreciation to the Government of Canada for the financial support through Canada's Economic Action Plan and CMHC. The improvement to the housing stock has extended the life of these assets and provided a healthier and safer environment for the families residing in these homes," said Chief Aileen Francis.
More information on this and other measures in Canada's Economic Action Plan, the federal government's plan to stimulate the economy and protect those hit hardest by the global recession, can be found at: www.actionplan.gc.ca.
To find out more about how the Government of Canada and CMHC are working to build stronger homes and communities for all Canadians, call CMHC at 1-800-668-2642 or visit www.cmhc.ca/housingactionplan.
INVESTMENT TO IMPROVE ON-RESERVE SOCIAL HOUSING
The Government of Canada is committed to supporting First Nations through targeted investments to build and renovate housing. Today's announcement is the latest in a series of commitments by the federal government to improve housing conditions in First Nations communities.
This commitment is in addition to the federal government's annual investment, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), of approximately $277 million for on-reserve housing needs, and INAC's investment of approximately $118 million annually for First Nations on-reserve in the form of shelter allowance payments under the Income Assistance Program.
Under Canada's Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada has provided $400 million over two years to support on-reserve housing. Of the $400 million committed, $250 million is being delivered through CMHC over two years for the creation of new on-reserve housing ($125 million) and the repair and renovation of existing federally-assisted on-reserve social housing ($125 million). The remaining $150 million is being delivered by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) for lot servicing, renovations, new construction of high-density multi-unit dwellings, and renovations to support the conversion of band-owned housing to private ownership.
In 2007, the Government invested $300 million in the First Nations Market Housing Fund, which encourages market-based housing on-reserve.

ezlxc (Easy LXC) is a small Bash script for running virtual machines (VM) using Linux Containers (LXC). The VM containers are based on the templates provided by OpenVZ project.
In an LXC environment, a single Linux kernel is shared between the host and the virtual machines. Only the essential needed services are run in VMs. The VM is basically a chroot-based environment with the added network/process separation provided by LXC virtualization. Memory requirements for this type of setup is very low – my old dual-core AMD computer with 1GB of RAM memory runs easily 10 VMs.
ezlxc is based on ssh-template script developed and distributed with LXC. I have tested it on a Fedora 17 x86_64 computer and it will probably work without modifications on any recent Linux distribution. Copy the script below in a text editor and save it as ezlxc. Make the file executable (chmod +x ezlxc) and copy it in /usr/local/bin/directory. The copying is performed as root, in fact all the operations below can only be performed as root.

How the heck did this Southern girl end up in Chicago? Don't get me wrong. I love this city, but I'm sitting by my window, trying to crank out a sermon, and my coffee has gone cold because the outside air is effecting the temperature inside. Oh well. At least the radiators are working.
Tomorrow I will don a Santa hat and beard (don't tell the Advent Police) and run my first 5K in over a decade in the Santa Hustle. I'm really excited, a little nervous about my ability to finish, delighted that 4 of my friends are also running and terrified about the fact that there will be snow falling as I run by the lake in this Windy City.
I've been using the C25K (Couch to 5K) app on my iPhone. A better app has never been created. I love, love, love it. I've gone from being able to run for 2 minutes to being able to run 25 in less than 6 weeks. Amazing. I never thought I'd get there again.
It seems appropriate that it falls in Advent–a time of rebirth, of expectation, the new liturgical year, for those of us who do liturgical cycles. I asked my congregation last week (in my sermon) what they were waiting for, watching for, expecting. I've been sitting with the question myself–still no real answer. Maybe there doesn't have to be something. I mean, it's good, I suppose, just to learn to wait. Especially for me (I'm a terrible wait-er). In the mean time, there are sermons to write and recipes to make (mango black beans and rice is simmering on the stove. Moroccan chicken a little bit later!) and Presiding Bishops to dine with later tonight (just me and the rest of the clergy of the Diocese).
At any rate, it's good to be writing a bit. It's good to have day off. And it's good, ready or not, for Santa hats in the snow!
Teri–I'd love it! Anyone who quotes Buffy has to be a friend of mine!

Preventing the Spread of the Japanese Beetle in Vancouver
Home1 / green cleaning2 / Preventing the Spread of the Japanese Beetle in Vancouver
Japanese beetles have taken hold in parts of Vancouver which leads to some new regulations to follow when it comes to moving soil and green waste around Vancouver. Green Coast Rubbish recently learned about the regulations from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It's definitely something to be aware of so we're sharing info on the Japanese Beetle on this week's blog.
The Japanese beetle is an invasive plant pest that first made its way from Japan to North America in the early 1900s. The adults fly but fortunately, the natural spread of the beetles is slow and they can't get far on their own. The downside is that the Japanese beetles will attach themselves to plants, roots and soil or cars, planes and boats to spread to new locations that way.
According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Japanese beetle was found in BC for the first time in 2017 in and around the False Creek area. The agency has a plan in place to work with stakeholders to minimize the human-assisted movement of the beetle.
Damage caused by Japanese Beetles
Anyone who has dealt with the destruction of the chafer beetle can easily imagine the potential damage caused by this new beetle infestation. What we learned is that Japanese beetle larvae feed on the roots of grass and other plants which puts the flowers, foliage, and fruit of up to 250 plant species in BC at risk including roses, blueberries, and grapevines. They can significantly damage landscaping, fruit and vegetable gardens, nurseries, orchards, and agricultural crops as well as lawns, sports fields, golf courses, and turf production.
Movement Certificates & Exemptions
Green Coast Rubbish learned that to move any kind of soil or green waste out of the contained area is subject to very strict guidelines which are designed to stop the spread of the Japanese beetle. A certificate from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is required to move soil or green waste out of the affected area.
There is an exemption from the certificate process for plants and above-ground plant parts that are soil free. Examples of exempted materials would be grass clippings, pruning waste and branches with leaves attached.
Green Coast Rubbish is fully informed and up to date on the regulations and certificate requirements when recycling green waste and soil in the affected areas. If you need help to deal with the Japanese beetle, be sure to contact Green Coast Rubbish at (604) 230-4530 or by email pickup @www.greencoastrubbish.com.

NEW dynamic design for Land Rover Discovery Sport
by Tech Reporter
16 Sep 2015 at 13:07hrs | Views
Discovery Sport Dynamic makes global debut at Frankfurt Motor Show
Unique design accents, details and colours set vehicle apart from standard model
Technologies including All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) and Gesture Tailgate strengthen Land Rover Discovery Sport's renowned capability and versatility
South Africa, Pretoria - Land Rover has further enhanced the visual appeal of its latest premium, compact SUV with the launch of the Discovery Sport Dynamic at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Striking design
The Discovery Sport with Dynamic pack features a number of exterior enhancements, including Narvik Black exterior details, body-coloured mouldings and door claddings and the choice of a unique new 19" wheel design in Satin Dark Grey, or a 20" Gloss Black wheel. Combined with new interior colours and detailing, the new Dynamic design option creates a powerful and striking impression.
"The Discovery Sport Dynamic has been created to heighten the design appeal of the Discovery Sport. Gloss black is a key accent colour differentiator on the exterior, while the use of body coloured bumpers and door claddings emphasise its on-road, sporty presence," said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Design Director and Chief Creative Officer. "With the launch of the Discovery Sport Dynamic, we are offering our customers greater choice in the look and feel of their vehicle."
All-terrain capability
The capability of the Discovery Sport is heightened by the introduction of All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) on petrol models, for 2016. ATPC is an advanced system that enables drivers to set and maintain a steady speed in off-road conditions. Developed by Land Rover's industry-leading all-terrain specialists, ATPC functions similarly to a cruise control system, operational between 2km/h and 30km/h. The system adapts the vehicle's behaviour according to the terrain, allowing even novice users the control of an expert off-road driver.
ATPC also features a dedicated Launch feature, allowing the vehicle to pull away smoothly and easily, even on problematic low-friction surfaces like fine sand, mud or wet grass.
Supplementing the Discovery Sport's large and varied suite of technologies is a new feature called Gesture Tailgate. This provides the user with the ability to open and close the powered tailgate by means of a kick gesture, enabling the user hands-free access to the load space.
The Discovery Sport is the first member of Land Rover's new Discovery family, has enjoyed a highly successful launch, with sales reaching nearly 30 000 in the first half of 2015. Discovery Sport with Dynamic pack will be available to order in sub-Sahara Africa markets from 2016.

Ten years after the financial crash of 2008, the economy is humming along, with steady growth and rising employment. Yet that crisis continues to shape our world, particularly with the rise of right-wing populism and the ever-worsening climate crisis. Jill Lepore, Adam Davidson, and George Packer talk with David Remnick about how we got here. Two Florida real-estate experts explain why short-term thinking rules the day, Eliza Griswold dives into the fuzzy math of fracking, and the former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson explains why he embraced a carbon tax.
Paulson, the former Treasury Secretary under President George W. Bush, explains how he became an advocate for sustainable growth.
The 2008 financial crisis hit Florida hard, but climate change will hit some waterfront areas even harder.

Blue Cookies is an indica-dominant hybrid with prestigious genetics. Like Blue Dream, Blue Cookies has DJ Short's Blueberry in its genetics which means it hits heavy and leaves you house bound for a solid few hours. Blue Cookies, is, if not obvious a Santa Cruz / Bay Area native.
Blue Cookies was bred and cultivated from two heavy hitting strains — GSC (fka Girl Scout Cookies) by Jigga415 and Blueberry by DJ Short. Both GSC and Blueberry are known for having delicious, sweet dessert pastry flavors that amps up the mood for a good nighttime smoke.
Blue Cookies smells a lot like sugar soaked blueberries sometimes little more like cherries in terms of how strong the sweetness smells. Maybe it's the syrupy note when whiffed? Either way, this strain smells like candy and it is, no doubt, good on the lungs when smoked as well.
This strain leaves its user feeling relaxed and couch-locked like half of its parent, GSC. It's taken when feeling tired, in pain, and have no appetite — thus the munchies. After a few tokes one feels relaxed, happy, and uplifted.
Blue Cookies has thick, beautiful green nugs. Sometimes, the buds get so thick you don't even see any stems. This strain will leave your grinder and your bowl with a lot of resin and your tastebuds more than happy due to the terps.
Be warned of dry eye and dry mouth. Have either juice or water around and stay hydrated.


It's little wonder that this place was featured in House & Garden – it truly is a triumph of design in all aspects.
Local outfit Bloom & Co Internal Design were responsible for an entire revamp five years ago. It stands as testament to a bold approach, attention to the smallest detail and an aesthetic that transcends the expected.
The entry hall is the first wow moment among many. Laid with the same oak parquetry floorboards as in all living areas, it has stunning wallpaper above white wainscoting, corbelled archway and wide cornices and deep skirts. Breaking the mould are the two large industrial pendants suspended from ceiling roses. In less capable hands, they could be jarring but in the overall context, they are perfect.
The three grey-carpeted and fitted bedrooms along the hall have beautiful designer wallpaper accents and chandeliers. One also has a fireplace.
The chic bathroom has stylish tiling, clawfoot tub, marble vanity and walk-in shower.
Fireplaces and dramatic chandeliers also appear in the lounge and dining rooms along the hall.
These rooms interlink via a corbelled archway and have french doors to the side verandah and very pretty gardens.
White plantation shutters are on most windows and charcoal-painted doors have classy fittings (an example of those small but telling details).
At entry hall's end, a door with original transom opens to the living hub. In here, a wall of french doors, dressed in full-height grey sheers, open to the side verandah, while the marble-benched laundry is behind a black barn door.
The sublime kitchen, with a vast marble island bench, has Smeg dual underbench ovens, 900mm gas cooktop and dishwasher.Servery and other lovely windows behind the butler's sink reveal garden views, including a heritage-listed elm tree shading a pleasing garden and off-street parking for two cars.
At the top of the stairs, a study/reading nook, with shelves and marble bench, precedes the main bedroom under a vaulted ceiling. Marble-topped lowboys run under full-width windows, walls have charcoal embossed wallpaper and wall lamps are as fine as every other lightfitting.
A walk-in wardrobe and impressive en suite complete this dreamy retreat.
Opposite prestigious Williamstown High School, this property should be on every savvy buyer's radar.
