Console Games, Digital, PC Games
Ubisoft announced that Shadow Heritage, the second episode of the post-launch story for Assassin's Creed Odyssey Legacy of the First Blade, is now available on PC and Xbox One, and later on PlayStation 4 on January 23.
In Shadow Heritage, a letter from Darius leads the players to investigate a mystery where the hero will come face to face with The Tempest, a mastermind of naval battle who commands a fleet, will stop at nothing to ensure the hero's demise.
Each episode of Legacy of the First Blade will feature a new ability. The first episode, Hunted, introduced a new Assassin ability, and in Shadow Heritage players will discover a new Hunter ability called Rapid Fire, allowing players to rapidly shoot arrows without having to reload, with the firing speed increasing with each skill level and will be a valuable skill to all play styles.
To access Shadow Heritage, players will need to finish the first episode and the Naxos Questline in Chapter 7 of the main story of the game and must have reached character level 28 or above.
Legacy of the First Blade is available for 24.99 usd. The first episode, Hunted, and second episode, Shadow Heritage, are now downloadable for players who already own the season pass or Gold Edition. The third and final episode of Legacy of the First Blade will complete the story arc beginning of March.

Liz Truss Exit Date Odds: An early departure shortens
Liz Truss may have only got the top job earlier this month but there are already real rumblings about her future. We take a look at the latest odds in the Liz Truss Exit Date market on Betfred…
A mini-budget from her Chancellor that caused the pound to crash against the dollar has been the catalyst for the latest drama coming out of Downing Street. You would have been pushed to find any positive media column inches about what Kwasi Kwarteng announced apart from in the most right-wing newspapers.
The general consensus was very much that the rich will benefit significantly more than the poor. In this climate where inflation is continuing to cause a prolonged cost of living crisis, that is not the way you want to be portrayed.
Seeing the pound crash to an all-time low against the dollar is another indicator that the markets are not confident in the economic plans of her Chancellor. With the fact that interest rates are now forecast to rise above 6%, that alone is enough for most people to take a second look at their plans but Mr. Kwarteng has doubled down on his plan. Many who had mortgages in the 90s will remember the sky-high cost and that was a big part as to why Labour swept into power in 1997.
Most new Prime Minister's get a bounce in the polls but an MRP poll conducted before the disastrous mini-budget showed the Tories down by two points and Labour up three points compared to August. That puts Labour 12 percentage points up and on course for a 56-seat majority.
Personally I'm very skeptical of MRP polling outside of election time as the electorate aren't as tuned in as they are when they are actually considering who to vote for but even so, a new leader for an incumbent party should have received a bounce of sorts.
Latest Betfred Liz Truss Exit Date Odds
Those within the Tory party who didn't believe in Liz Truss are already anonymously briefing against her with suggestions that letters are already going into the 1922 Committee. This is mind-boggling in one way but on the other hand, the Conservatives have been at war for years and with Brexit now done, they don't have much to keep their broad coalition together.
I don't think the 12/1 for her to leave this year is a great bet but heck, I do expect it to go shorter at points between now and the time Big Ben chimes to signal in 2023.
So it comes down to 2023 at 7/4 or 2024 at 13/8 as the best play. I'm ruling out 2025 or Later at 2025 as I never saw her making it to the next General Election. She had the support of less than one in seven Tory MPs in the first round of voting and only just snuck onto the ballot in the final round. When your own colleagues don't think you are the best person for the job, you don't have a lot of good will built up. Remember many of her own MPs will be worried about their own job prospects and if they think a different leader gives them the best chance at the next election, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll move against her.
I like her going next year at 7/4. She always figured to be a bit of a caretaker PM as she had so little support from her colleagues. The new way of electing Tory leaders always put her in a good position to win the job but getting the keys to No. 10 and knowing what to do with them are two very different things.
If the economy continues to go backwards then the vultures will start circling at an ever-increasing rate. Going into a General Election right now with a Truss/Kwarteng partnership looks like a grim prospect for those who wear the blue rosette and with the Tories odds against to have the most seats in the next GE for the first time in over a decade, the markets indicate that they will need a real change of course to remain in power.

ZENITH ELEVATES THE ART OF CONTEMPORARY HAUTE HORLOGERIE WITH TWO STELLAR CREATIONS: THE DEFY ZERO-G AND DEFY DOUBLE TOURBILLON IN TRANSPARENT SAPPHIRE
A new expression of haute horlogerie, the Zenith way. The Manufacture has reimagined two of its most extraordinary movements through contemporary architecture and finishing techniques that can be admired through luminous and transparent sapphire cases. Just like Georges-Favre Jacot who named his Manufacture after the highest point in the sky reached by a heavenly body in the sky, Zenith's watchmakers and designers sought inspiration from the endless universe beyond our horizon for its grandest and most ingenious haute horlogerie creations.
Zenith has reinterpreted two of its most cutting-edge haute horlogerie calibres in a way that could only be admired through the transparency of a sapphire case. These two creations place Zenith's uniquely futuristic and evocative aesthetic centre-stage, using novel and previously unheard-of decoration methods for a stellar result.
First, all the movement's components are treated with blue PVD. The inscriptions as well as decorative elements like miniature stars are then carefully engraved onto the bridges, after which the chamfered edges of the bridges are precisely finished with a rhodium-coloured PVD; a specially developed technique that provides a striking contrast and adds even more visual depth to an already intricately layered movement with its futuristic form. Framed by totally transparent sapphire cases, the movements shine in a light of their own – and from all angles.
DEFY Zero-G
Overcoming the effects of gravity on chronometric precision has long been watchmakers' ultimate goal. Zenith accomplished precisely this with its Gravity Control mechanism, where the regulating organ is fixed to a gimbal that always remains in a flat position regardless of how the watch is rotated. Today, the Manufacture has completely redesigned the entire movement with a new architecture to enable a more open and exhibitive display, encapsulated in a transparent sapphire case that allows the singular mechanism to be admired from all angles: a first for the Manufacture.
Like an object suspended in space and free from the effects of gravity, the off-centred dial of the DEFY Zero-G Sapphire combines several traditional crafts in a contemporary execution, handcrafted in a mosaic of meteorite, aventurine glass and grand feu enamel on a gold base. It depicts our neighbouring red planet Mars on the small seconds, partially eclipsed by the hour and minute dial. A special touch that can only be seen when the watch is overhead is the back of the gyroscopic module, fashioned with a cratered texture mimicking the moon. The entire main plate and bridges of the movement are finished in a blue tone with contrasting grey rhodium chamfers, speckled with white stars of varying sizes. This astronomically inspired finish extends to the movement's cylindrical container, which can also be viewed through the sides of the case.
DEFY 21 DOUBLE TOURBILLON
For the latest execution of the fastest tourbillon chronograph around - equipped with two independent tourbillons completing rotations in 60 seconds for the time-keeping tourbillon and 5 seconds for the chronograph's tourbillon – Zenith took its evocative "starry sky" aesthetic to new cosmic heights in the DEFY 21 Double Tourbillon Sapphire, with a nod to the universe and space exploration.
Visible for all to admire through the crystalline case, the DEFY 21 Double Tourbillon's exceptional chronograph movement is rendered in a stellar and futuristic aesthetic. The main plate of the movement is finished in a striking blue PVD tone, and in a first for Zenith, some of the dial-side bridges are engraved with stars, like a distant galaxy of micro-mechanics in perpetual motion. Truly at the summit of precision, the 1/00th of a second chronograph moves at incredible speed, juxtaposed against a still, starry backdrop.
The DEFY 21 Double Tourbillon Sapphire and DEFY Zero-G Sapphire will be produced as a limited edition of 10 pieces each.
AN EXCLUSIVE GRAVITY-DEFYING EXPERIENCE
For the 20 owners of the DEFY Zero-G Sapphire and DEFY 21 Double Tourbillon Sapphire limited editions, Zenith is offering the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience: a parabolic zero-gravity flight. Scheduled to take place in February 2022, Zenith has partnered with Novespace, a subsidiary of the French National Space Center, to offer the experience of weightlessness.
Guests will arrive at the Novespace facility in Bordeaux, France, where they will meet with their instructors. The flight itself will consist of 15 parabolas, where the airplane ascends than plunges in a freefall to reproduces the effect of floating in weightlessness in a perceived absence of gravity.
04.9000.8812/00.R920
DEFY ZERO G
A limited edition of 10 pieces, the DEFY Zero-G Sapphire is crafted in a 46mm transparent sapphire case, showing the redesigned Gravity Control movement with an open execution. Dial is handcrafted in a mosaic of meteorite, aventurine glass and grand feu enamel on a gold base.

If you are a consumer who enjoys those cash-back offerings, then DialMedia should be your next call. We recently spoke with Phil Bartholomew, the co-founder of DialMedia about what exactly they are offering their consumer.
DialMedia looks great, tell us how the concept came about?
The concept was born from the need for cheaper (or free) mobile calling, the obvious way to do this was subsidising the cost with advertising. We felt that if the two could go together, one can match a willing advertiser with a willing listener; the holy grail of advertising.
It seems simple, but it has taken DialMedia two years to develop the platform to this point, so as to be independent from the mobile provider networks.
In an age of Viber, FaceTime, dropping call rates and new social apps being launched all the time, DialMedia seems a brave step. How are you planning to stave off the competition?
The patent pending technology used by DialMedia is the only app of its kind to pay users, with refunds available to be used toward data bundles as well as traditional airtime. As apps become more data hungry, the opportunity to be rebated for calls, as well as data, is an attractive one. VOIP has been around and working for years on mobile, but people are still preferring to use the cell phone service, and if this changes so will DialMedia.
"Free" seems to have lost its lustre in recent times, when investors are looking for solid returns and advertising is in a slump. What is DialMedia's business plan in this tricky environment?
As consumers become more media savvy, advertising needs to be more effective and deliver real and measurable returns on investment. With Dialmedia, advertisers deliver highly targeted ads – using up to 47 demographic metrics – and given its a pay-per-view, have more control over campaign costs. Beyond ad views, the interactivity of the platform also allows a real time call to action, offering much greater consumer/brand engagement.
Building understanding of the technology and trust in the DialMeda platform is the step. We are making great progress with over one million calls per month through our system within the first few months, and over 15000 active callers. Among these early adopters, we are offering them many benefits for being part of a privileged community of users, with everything from free tickets and exclusive vouchers to gifts from interesting brands. As word spreads about unique 'perks' available to DialMedia users, we expect interest in the platform, from both a user and advertiser perspective, to grow rapidly.
Many of your advertisers appear to be high value brands that appeal to a more middle class target market. What is the split between middle and lower income groups in terms of usage?
Our callers right now are mainly university students, since this was the initial areas of focus for DialMedia. High value brands are very keen to talk to this demographic as they are future top earners, and are influential in their social circle. The DialMedia application is specifically for smartphone users, which may skew our demographic currently, however, in a very short time, smartphones will be everywhere, and this will reflect in our user base.
Absolutely. We can see this model working anywhere there are people who want to make better use of disposable income, and where there are advertisers who want to ensure more 'bang for their buck' and measurable brand engagement.
Thanks for chatting to us Phil. Best of luck with the business expansion – and please check in again to update us!


The IDF demolished a Hamas terror tunnel on Thursday that infiltrated 200 meters into Israel from the Khan Younis area in central Gaza, the IDF Spokesman's Office said.
IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis said the IDF had known of the tunnel for several months. According to Manelis, the tunnel was connected to a wider network of tunnels in Gaza.
"It has different construction methods to what we've seen, with phone and power lines," Manelis said, adding that Israel has knowledge of several other tunnels which Hamas was planning to use for terrorist attacks.


Being Human 2017 - Refugee History Citizen Seminar — Refugee History.
On the 23rd November 2017 Lyndsey Stonebridge – editor of Refugee History and Professor of Modern Literature and History at UEA – was joined by a panel of migration experts at The Forum in Norwich to discuss the city's most pressing refugee issues. It was an opportunity for open and thoughtful discussion about an impressively wide range of topics raised by both audience members and panellists. Comparisons between "refugee crises" past and present threaded through the evening's debate, while concerns were raised about the UK's current political, judicial and journalistic approach to refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. Panel and audience members alike addressed these concerns not in isolation, but as part of a wider social climate of austerity, nationalism, and the intersecting oppressions of class, race and gender within British society.
The debate was part of a series of refugee-based events run by Refugee History in Norwich for the Being Human Festival 2017. Read reviews of the other events here and here, and watch highlights from the evening's discussions below.


A lot of Mac tutorials mention the Library folder, which is where your macOS applications store things like settings and caches. Some settings can only be changed by editing files in the Library. But the Library is hidden by default.
That makes sense: messing with this folder can break programs pretty quickly, so it's not something you want every user finding. But if you consider yourself an informed user, and want to open your Library folder, here's how.
If you just need to access it occasionally, this is the fastest way. Open Finder, or just click on the desktop. Then click "Go" in the menu bar, and select "Go to Folder". You can also skip all this clicking by pressing Command+Shift+G on your keyboard to access the Go to Folder menu.
Type ~/Library in the box and hit Enter.
The "~" is the universal UNIX symbol for the current user's home folder, and "Library" is the sub-folder you're trying to open.
When you hit enter, you will see the Library folder.
From here you can make whatever changes you wanted to make. As you can see, the icon for the Library folder is faded, which means the folder itself is still hidden.
If you don't want to open "Go To Folder" every time you want to access the Library, you can unhide the folder for good. To do this, open Finder, and head to your Home folder. You can do this by clicking the name of your username in the sidebar, or by pressing Command+Shift+H on your keyboard.
Alternatively, you can press Command+J on your keyboard.
The View Options window will pop up. Make sure "Show Library Folder" is checked.
Close the window, and the Library folder will be revealed.
The Library folder is no longer hidden, and will stay visible until you change this setting back. If you're the kind of user who likes to tweak things constantly, leave it visible, but think twice before leaving this visible on someone else's computer.


Vignette has turned up the heat in the enterprise content management (ECM) market announcing plans to acquire Tower Technology for $US125 million.
The ECM market has been abuzz with acquisition activity in recent months including EMC's acquisition of Documentum and IBM picking up Tarian Software last year.
Vignette's senior vice president and general counsel Bryce Johnson said the company is not concerned about such big name rivals including the likes of well-established players such as FileNet because the acquisition allows for a "complete ECM offering and breadth of functionality" that sets them apart from the rest of the pack.
"We are combining collaboration technologies and portal solutions that can be integrated with enterprise document and records management functionality; there is real synergy with Tower without any product overlap," Johnson said.
In Australia, Vignette customers include AMP, Optus, the Commonwealth Bank, Australia Post and Toyota while Tower Technology has 300 local sites at the big end of town in banking, insurance and government.
Tower Technology has 50 staff undertaking software development in Australia and Johnson said these local operations will be maintained. "There will be no change to existing installations; customers will receive the same level of support from the same people," Johnson said.
"We have already contacted customers advising them there will be no impact on operations; our integration strategy has already begun and we expect to announce a product roadmap at the end of March." Vignette will be able to manage the complete lifecycle of an organisation's enterprise content which has become a top priority for government, financial services, pharmaceutical and other regulated industries.
Meta Group senior vice president Andrew Warzecha said spending in the ECM market will top $9 billion by 2007.
"Robust document and records management has become a requirement as government and commercial organisations focus on compliance and risk reduction so we expect strong spending in this area," Warzecha said.


This week we officially closed on our latest house flipping project so before we dive back into complete renovation chaos the fam and I are packing up and heading out to one of our favorite little beach hideaways for a few days. Which works out perfectly because on Sunday my husband celebrates his 39th birthday! I bought a few new items as well as some of my beach essentials from last year and thought I'd share!

Then will average your finishes from both segments. We will then be paying the top 5 with the best average finishes, and 500 for best average.


Recently, I drafted the best deck. Every store tested the game for more than one time in one week like the Pro Tour Kaladesh. There are undefeated trophies in the competition of Kaladesh and the ranges are 30 plus.
I believed that the format has a very balanced color as well as manageable. These color are interconnected with each other. You may find fewer advantages because you often trade, whenever you draw or play the bomb. Meanwhile, the combat strategy has traded off tricks.
Personally, I try the color combination that is different from the Black-Red. You can't deny the combat tricks or the spell remover tricks. In fact, the red creature is small and the black creature is too defensive, so in the end, you will lose the draw cards.
So, the question arises that which direction is suitable for taking?Probably, it is a fact that all the decks depend on your choice of picking whether you pick 4 or 5. Usually, I pick the card that has more power, so the color doesn't matter. While considering the strategy, I often look different colors of cards like the 3 and 4. In this format, you may found plenty of fillers, so you have enough option to choose. Only the high impact of cards has the ability to win.
Rarely, when you go at the round 3 level then you are unable to play the game without the aggressive deck. So, the most important thing is to build and keep drafting. When you have good aggro then you often choose the Control Decks.
How you can go with the Deck of Draft Control?
There are two strategies, so how you draft these? Let's have a look!I personally like the 3-color, 4-color or Blue-Black artifacts rather than these, you can find many deck combinations. In this format, mana fixing is preferable instead of splashing. So, feel free to pick your favorite deck and play easily. Things are quite the same to control. It is a little bit hard for drafting because of the aggressive deck. In case, you slow down the cards or load too many finishers thus you will be overwhelmed when the aggro deck threat to develop. So, you can get an efficient or cheap spell.
In this format, the three and two drops are going to replace because it mostly likes the 2/3, 3/2 and 2/2. Generally, the format is replaceable with the following deck. If you need any artifacts, then you need creatures. The ConsulateSkygate card is useless.
Usually, you do not need to draw more than one card. The best archetype is Glimmer of Genius and Tezzeret's Ambition. If you actually want to play, then keep an eye on the best finishers. You are unable to get the advantages if your opponents can't draw any lands.
How you can draw the Draft Aggro Decks?
Usually, I consider the 16 deck lands and the most favorable one is Red-Green or White-Red. In this format, there are no complicated tricks. You can play the deck if you have an excellent vehicle just like Nature's Way, sweepers or Hunt the Weak.
Since the format has no game creature, so you may find 2/2 or 3/2 format. You can remove the deck if you have fear of opponent attacking. Sometimes, your opponent can trade with 3/2, so with this, you can apply the combat trick and save the trade.
The finisher mana is ironical for both players. Whenever you go to mil, you can find the perfect balance without any payoff. The deck card is an awesome way to look forward. My favorite color is red in the aggro decks. Sometimes, you can welcome with a bonus or getting the relevant tips. Any bird considers herself like a king. However, when the bird flies it is truly like the Skyswirl Harrier. I love to play with these finishers. Earlier, I am not picking any finisher because these are underrated.
So these are all the informative talk regarding Kaladesh Limited. I simply thank to my reader for liking my article. There are plenty of magic cards that are in the queue and maybe it will get in future.


Optisch wie technisch begeistert die Grand Sport sowohl vorne als auch hinten durch breitere Kotflügel mit zusätzlichen Lüftungsöffnungen für die nun größer dimensionierte Bremsanlage vom Schwestermodell Z06 mit ihren 355-mm-Scheiben und sechs Kolben an der Vorder- und 340 mm-Scheiben mit vier Kolben an der Hinterachse. Auch den Front-Splitter und den größeren Heckspoiler entliehen die Ingenieure der Corvette Z06. Stabilisatoren, Stoßdämpfer und Federn wurden ebenso überarbeitet wie das Schaltgetriebe mit seinen sechs Gängen, ein Trockensumpf-Ölsystem und ein Differential-Kühler sind ebenso mit an Bord. Die Batterie findet sich nun im Heck der Grand Sport. Den optimalen Fahrbahnkontakt gewährleisten 18 und 19 Zoll messende Leichtmetallfelgen mit 275/35er und imposanter 325/30er Bereifung.
Spezielle, ab Werk installierte Embleme auf den Vorderkotflügeln und nicht zuletzt die von Geigercars.de aufgebrachten, speziellen Grafiken auf den Kotflügeln, der Motorhaube und dem Kofferraumdeckel weisen den unbedarften Betrachter auf den ganz besonderen Bowtie-Sportler hin – und unterstreichen das gewisse Etwas des Gesamtprojektes perfekt.
The name "Grand Sport" is entrenched in the racing history of the Chevrolet Corvette. Now, for the 2010 model year, there is a new edition that evokes memories of the racecars of the seventies – and Geigercars.de has already given these rockets an additional performance upgrade.
With the LS3 V8 under the bonnet, and the corresponding 430 hp and 575 Nm in torque, the Grand Sport is certainly not short of legs when it leaves the factory. But why be satisfied with production line performance, when tuning specialist Geigercars.de can give you something more? Thanks to the Munich pros, a supercharger with a fat 2.3 litres capacity sits on top of the eight-cylinder engine, which itself exhibits a volume of 6.2 litres. The result is a growth in the power of the Corvette to an immense 588 hp at 6,490 rpm, and torque of 738 Nm at 4,030 rpm. This ultimate sports car negotiates the sprint to 100 km/h in less than four seconds from contact, and it's not until reaching 337 km/h that the Geigercars.de rocket is forced to relent to wind resistance.
The Grand Sport impresses both aesthetically and technically, with wider front and rear fenders with additional vents, to accommodate the larger brakes of the sister model Z06 with its 355 mm, six-cylinder discs at the front axle, and 340 mm, four-cylinder discs at the rear. The front diffuser and larger rear spoiler are also borrowed from the engineers of the Corvette Z06. Sway bars, shock absorbers and springs have also been overhauled in addition to the six-speed transmission, while a dry sump oil system and differential cooler are also on board. The battery of the Grand Sport has been relocated to the rear. Optimum road contact is guaranteed by the 18 and 19 inch light alloy rims, with 275/35 and imposing 325/30 tyres.
Special factory-installed emblems on the front fenders, and not least the special graphics applied by Geigercars.de to the fenders, bonnet and boot lid, draw even the untrained eye to the character of this very special elite athlete – and underline that certain something about the entire project perfectly.

Chicago, NYC, LA and San Francisco Implementing New E-Cigarette Laws
Not allowing e-cigarettes to be used indoors is a smart move for cities and towns that want to preserve the health of their community. Adding e-cigarettes to smoke-free laws is also practical. People who want to smoke e-cigarettes can continue to do so in the same places where regular cigarettes are smoked, while everyone else can continue to breathe clean air wherever they work, learn and play.
Bechara Choucair, M.D., Contributor
Commissioner, Chicago Department of Public Health
Apr 30, 2014, 04:26 PM EDT | Updated Jun 30, 2014
Residents in Chicago can breathe a little easier. Effective April 29, 2014, E-cigarettes have been added to the Chicago Clean Indoor Air Act. Smoking an e-cigarette is no longer allowed in areas where smoking is banned.
Under the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Chicago was the first of the 20 largest U.S. cities to propose legislation to include e-cigarettes in their clean indoor air law. Following Chicago's lead, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco also introduced and subsequently passed, legislation to add e-cigarettes to their smoke-free laws. All of these cities implemented their laws together -- in April 2014.
It is unprecedented for the three largest cities in the U.S. -- New York, Los Angeles and Chicago -- to implement an important new health law at the same time. Substantial support and technical assistance was also provided by Americans for Nonsmokers Rights, the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, the Big Cities Health Coalition, the National Association of City and County Health Officials and of course, our colleagues in other cities.
As of April 2014, a total of 172 jurisdictions have now passed similar laws. Across the country, that number represents more than 38 million residents and hundreds of millions of tourists and visitors being protected by these laws. These numbers continue to increase each week as more cities and towns take action.
Not allowing e-cigarettes to be used indoors is a smart move for cities and towns that want to preserve the health of their community. Laboratory tests have found that the so-called "water vapor" from some e-cigarettes can contain nicotine, benzene, toluene, nickel arsenic, carbon, formaldehyde, acrolein and carcinogens that are only derived from tobacco. Until more is known about these products, limiting their use in indoor areas is just good common sense.
Adding e-cigarettes to smoke-free laws is also practical. People who want to smoke e-cigarettes can continue to do so in the same places where regular cigarettes are smoked, while everyone else can continue to breathe clean air wherever they work, learn and play.
In addition to ensuring everyone has the right to breathe clean indoor air, smoke-free laws create an environment that encourages smokers to quit and discourages kids from ever picking up a nicotine addiction. Legislation to include e-cigarettes in Chicago's smoke-free law will preserve these benefits at a time that e-cigarettes are exploding in popularity among kids.
Use of e-cigarettes among youth has doubled between 2011 and 2012. A rapidly growing body of evidence suggests these new devices could be acting as a "starter kit" for youth -- leading a new generation into a lifetime of nicotine addiction and increased use of traditional cigarettes, which would reverse decades of progress. As the New York Times reported last week, the e-liquids behind e-cigarettes are "powerful neurotoxins... [that] can cause vomiting and seizures and even be lethal."
Even with this new evidence, manufacturers are allowed to market these products directly to youth. While traditional cigarette manufacturers can no longer sponsor auto racing or other events, e-cigarette makers can. Even worse, e-cigarettes come in dozens of flavors that are attractive for our children, like cotton candy, bubble gum, gummy bear and Atomic Fireball.
Last week, the FDA finally proposed new rules regulating e-cigarettes for the first time. This is a step in the right direction, but the proposals will likely be tied up in reviews and possible litigation for months or longer before they will be enacted. And they don't go as far as they should. There are no restrictions on advertisements to youth and no restrictions on the flavors they peddle. Fifty years ago, the Surgeon General issued a landmark report connecting traditional cigarettes to lung cancer -- but it still took decades until Washington passed the necessary laws to protect our children from these products.
We all know it takes a long time to get things done in Washington, D.C. and here in Chicago we aren't waiting. That is why we have been proactive and taken every measure we can to protect our children from the grips of big tobacco and their more modern companion, e-cigarettes.
Under Mayor Emanuel's leadership, Chicago acted, creating innovative policies to protect kids from e-cigarettes. For example, in addition to added e-cigarettes to our smoke-free law, Chicago has moved e-cigarettes behind store counters, out of the reach of kids. Retailers will be required to have a tobacco license. If a retailer in Chicago is caught selling e-cigarettes to children, they will be fined and can have their license revoked. And, uniquely, Chicago is currently the only jurisdiction in the U.S. that has passed legislation to restrict the sale of flavored e-cigarettes within 500 feet of schools.
Chicago is using every possible strategy to help keep our young people tobacco free -- and that effort is paying off. After several years of stagnation in the fight against tobacco, we're starting to see progress again here in Chicago. In 2013, only 10.7 percent of Chicago high school students reported smoking within 30 days -- a historic low, down from 13.6 percent just two years ago. But local jurisdictions can only do so much. The FDA must also do its part, not only by prohibiting sales to kids nationwide but also restricting advertising to youth. This is why Mayor Emanuel has called on the FDA to act with a sense of urgency. The health of our children depends on it.
But in Chicago we don't wait for others to act. We lead. In 2000, one-quarter of all CPS high school students smoked. Today, that number is just above 10 percent. That's leadership. That's Chicago. Today is no exception.

When I started getting into makeup, I didn't expect to have a hard time finding the right foundation for my skin. It was so complicated! I had no idea what "skin undertone" meant (cool, neutral or warm) besides knowing my skin shade is! I wasn't sure how much coverage (light, medium, full) I wanted, and what finish do I prefer (matte, luminous...)?
Overwhelming but it was a great learning process to know my skin a little bit more!
may help you find that right foundation ASAP.
Use either the lightening or darkening formula to transform the shade of your face makeup from the "almost right" shade to the perfect shade with just one drop.
Shade Adjusting Drops can be used with most liquid foundations.
"With 7,000* different skin tones across the world. It's no wonder women struggle to find the right shade of foundation. That's why we've created NEW Shade Adjusting Drops, a smart, simple, effective solution so you'll never have to settle for an "almost right" shade again."
Apply your foundation on the back of your hand.
Apply one drop of your chosen Shade Adjusting Drops and blend together.
Test the color on the small area of skin.
Apply the mix on your face as usual.
If you have light to medium skin and you find your foundation looks too dark or orange, use the Lightening Drops. This has a concentration of white and pink pigments to help neutralize yellowness while lightening.
The lightening drops can only be used to lighten light to medium foundation shades.
If you have dark to deep skin and your foundation looks too light or ashy, use the Darkening Drops. The Darkening Drops have a concentration of black and red pigments to help darken while keeping the natural depth of dark-to-deep foundation shades.
The darkening drops can only be used to darken dark to deep foundation shades.
*I don't have any dark-to-deep foundations so I used what I have just for blog visual.
For my Medium-to-Tan skin tone, I have been using the Lightening Drops with the darkest face product I have which is the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint in the shade Hazel, which is darker than my skin shade right now since that's more of my Summer shade.
As per instructions, I used one drop of the lightening drops but the foundation still looked too dark so I added half a drop which made it the perfect shade for my skin right now!
It didn't "watered down" my creamy foundation and it stayed matte as well! So it never affected the finish of the product nor the consistency of it unlike adding your moisturizer to lighten a foundation.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you a review with the Darkening Drops but if I find a friend to try it out for me. I will update this post to let you know.
Overall, I am really surprise how these products work! I haven't gone to The Body Shop store for a long time so I don't know if you can ask for a sample. I would try out a sample first and see how it works with the foundation products you have at home.
I haven't seen anything like this in the beauty world and I won't be surprised if other brands do start making their own "shade adjusting drops". This definitely changes the foundation game!


I have always wanted to read through the classics of the Western literature. But the life is too short and too busy to try slogging through the volumnous writings. Now, the "Squashed Philosophers" website (via StingyScholar) offers condenced versions of materials where only the important points are kept - in the original language - and the long rambles are excised.
And for those who don't like reading from the screen, they have a printed version. I suspect this is done with the Print-on-Demand technology, also a good match for a book with uncertain sell-through expectations.
Great idea and it is certainly on my bookmarks now.
Where are the blogs of computational linguists?


This is a crazy, crazy annoying bug. Basically, when the Crystal Windows Form Viewer is added, the auto-generated code adds two lines that will overwrite the selection formula!!!
Double-click on Form1.Designer.vb|cs to show its code.
In the InitializeComponent method, you will find code where the CrystalReportViewer1 properties are set.
So now I got a couple of ESX servers, next up, how to get a working vcenter running on them.
Hmm, looks like if I install vSphere Client on my desktop and open up all the ports I should be able to connect to one of the ESXi machines and then import in an image of a vcenter server… Wish me luck!
I then went to Deploy OVF template, and choose the downloaded OVF file from vmware site.
OK… scratch that. I think an easier method will be to just create a vcenter as a standalone VM, I will tackle the nested vcenter another day.
One tip, after configging the port forwarding, you will need to use https://yourVcenterIP:5480 in order to access the web console.
JUNOS Command Line interface allows the user to export the configuration file into an FTP server and to import it back to the switch. The information below describes the steps to backup and restore JUNOS configuration file on FTP server.
Backup configuration file on FTP.
The following configuration sample shows how to backup the JUNOS configuration file on FTP server.
On every commit applied on CLI, the EX switch will transfer a copy of the configuration file to an ASCII file on FTP server. The filename created on the FTP server contains hostname, date and time signature.
Now that we got some AS2 action going on I needed to figure out how to handle some incoming purchase orders. With a little bit of poking around I was able to get it to go.
So now you have parties setup, but now we need to instruct BizLink what to do with the files when it gets them!
The simplest thing to do is under transports, set a file copy (upload) on your server owner, set the file path and the format of how you want the file named and you will be good to go.
That will work, but what if you want say all 810's from a certain partner to go to a certain directory? In this case create another File Copy (Upload) rename it to say Export Walmart 810 and then set its export folder to a 810 walmart specific one. That's all nice and dandy but what actually tells it to use that particular export? The processing rules of course!
First give it a name.
Then you get to set the conditions they can either be AND or they can be OR conditions. We want an AND so both conditions evaluate as true.
We set the Sender Qualifier + Id to match our sender ID (in the ISA) and the we set the Transaction_IdCode to = 810.
Ok, now we need to tell it an action to do when the conditions are met.
The first action will send back a 997 if requested and the second is for the routing. If we looking into the routing rule it is simple enough, give it a name, and then select a transport.
There you have it, when the doc matches it will get exported to the correct folder. Next we will mess with some scripts, until next time.
I recently started messing with OpenSim. Such a fascinating piece of software! My kids have gotten quite the kick as I have been building virtual worlds around them.
Next on my agenda was the ability to move\change\etc… objects externally somehow. That is where Dispatcher comes in.
So, I first needed to get dispatcher up and running.
You will need to do some configing before anything will work.

This week's business spotlight is on Bell Laundro and its owner, Ms. Monica Bell.

The customers at Bell Laundro highly value the convenience and high-quality service Bell Laundro provides. Many residents in the area are students at Welch College, who need to do the laundry and buy books for their classes; they know Bell Laundro is perfect to take care of both tasks at the same time.

From: Christine Kaufmann
Subject: Changes to publications
Dear Mr. Svensson,
We received your invoice yesterday along with the proofs. Thank you for your excellent work. I showed the final drafts to our managing director and, overall, he was pleased. However, he has requested that we change the photograph used on the front cover. He thinks it failed to convey the mood we were going for. We have commissioned a photographer to take a new picture, and I will send it to you by Friday. Unfortunately, we cannot move our original due date as the brochures have to be shipped in time for a campaign launch event we have planned for November.
If our request presents a problem, please let me know right away. You can reach me by phone at 555-2309, extension #42. Otherwise, I will wait to receive your revised invoice. Thank you!
Christine Kaufmann

MCDOWELL COUNTY, W.V. (WOAY) – McDowell County Schools has revised their school calendar to make-up the nine days lost due to the teacher walkout.
To ensure MCS students receive 180 days of instruction for the 17-18 school year, McDowell County Schools will convert the Spring Break days of April 4, 5, and 6, 2018 to instructional days. The first 3 days of Spring Break (March 30, April 2, and April 3) will NOT be converted to instructional days. The last day of instruction for students will be June 1, 2018, pending no further loss of instructional days this school year.
We understand the need to acknowledge and respect family plans previously scheduled April 4-6, 2018, which cannot be canceled or rescheduled. In these instances, we ask families to provide a letter to your child's principal explaining your circumstances. The resulting student absence will be marked excused and WILL NOT count against a student for truancy.

Poor driving behaviours on the Isle of Wight targeted in weekend operation
This weekend, the Isle of Wight's dual capability Roads Policing and Armed Response Vehicle teams (RP/ARV) were joined by mainland Roads Policing Unit (RPU) colleagues as part of a proactive operation on the Island targeting poor driving behaviours.
Activity was carried out across both Saturday 22 January and Sunday 23 January with a number of notable actions taken against drivers flouting the law.
On Saturday, 26 tickets were issued to motorists for a number of road-related offences as follows:
10 tickets for speeding
2 tickets for illegal number plates
1 ticket for an incorrectly fitted breakaway cable
4 tickets issued to drivers who weren't wearing seatbelts
1 ticket issued for driving without a licence
1 ticket issued for a vehicle which was not roadworthy
1 ticket issued for an untaxed vehicle
2 tickets issued to uninsured vehicles
1 ticket issued to a vehicle with an insecure load
1 ticket for a vehicle parked on zig zags at a pelican crossing
2 tickets for cars using altered exhausts
In addition, the teams also assisted at the site of a collision involving a tractor.
On Sunday, a further 23 tickets were issued to drivers for the following offences:
2 tickets issued to drivers not wearing seatbelts
1 ticket issued for an uninsured vehicle
1 ticket issued to a motorcyclist with a tinted visor
19 tickets issued for speeding, including one driver prosecuted for driving almost double the speed limit
A 22-year-old man was also arrested in St Georges Way, Newport, that afternoon on suspicion of drug driving. He has been released but remains under investigation while enquiries continue.
Later on Sunday evening, at around 9pm, officers came across a vehicle in a hedge along Quarr Abbey Lane. The driver was subsequently arrested and charged. Beverley Morris, aged 31, of Wilton Park Road in Shanklin was charged with drink driving and was bailed to appear at Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court on 11 February.
All of the behaviours which resulted in tickets had every potential to put lives at risk. Enforcement addresses these behaviours and stops dangerous road users in their tracks, however educating the public around the consequences of poor driving habits is also key to keeping road users safe.
We regularly conduct campaigns relating to the 'Fatal Four' driving behaviours that put motorists at risk of serious and fatal collision – these are drink/drug driving, speeding, driving without a seatbelt and driving whilst using a mobile phone.
It is important that we highlight these risks to the public and engage with road users. Teams across the weekend interacted with a number of members of the public on the Isle of Wight, all of whom were supportive of the policing work being undertaken on the roads.
Following the weekend's activity, District Commander for the Isle of Wight, Superintendent Jim Pegler, said: "The policing of dangerous and poor standards of driving, committed by motorists on the Isle of Wight road network, is something that I will continue to focus on to improve safety for road users.
"I am pleased that we have been able to take action against people who have failed to meet the required standards of safety on our roads.
"If you are driving a vehicle on the Isle of Wight, my strong advice is that you pay attention to the condition of your vehicle, have the required documentation and drive carefully with consideration for other road users.
"Choosing not to do so can have serious consequences and puts lives in danger, including your own. It is not worth the risk."

Spurs eyeing ex-Chelsea forward
Date: 1st October 2015 at 8:23am
Written by: james
Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing former Chelsea forward Thorgan Hazard.
The Premier League side, who currently sit sixth in the league table following three successive wins, are understood to be considering making a bid for the younger sibling of Blues ace Eden Hazard after he left their London rivals without making a single first-team appearance.
The 22-year-old, who has one international cap for Belgium, has scored once in eight appearances in all competitions for Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach so far this season.
After arriving at Stamford Bridge at the same time as his elder brother back in 2012; Thorgan Hazard failed to break into Jose Mourinho's first-team, before being loaned out to Belgian side Zulte Waregem and Monchengladbach before sealing a permanent move back in February.

Q: Minimum time of stable input address on read cycle of a flash chip While reading the specifications for the SST39SF010A flash memory chip (here), and looking at diagram 5 and the general specifications, there is no minimum stable address input time.
Looking again at diagram 5, we can see that the output data can be ready before the end of the cycle. But then, if a noisy non stabilized input address comes in, must I fear of triggering a read cycle ?
Again, given the diagram it doesn't seem, but the specifications don't list that, and so I am afraid of triggering a write cycle before the input address is fully stabilized, and "wasting" 55/70 ns before creating a new. Is there a general guideline or implicit rule I'm not informed about in this case ?
I am looking forward to your answers, any help or tip is greatly appreciated

A: The address setup (Tas 0ns) and address hold (Tah 30ns) times are defined in Table 12 and indicated on figure 6. They are shown for the preamble bytes but you can assume they are the same for the actual address bits. The actual write is triggered by the Write enable (or chip enable) not the address.

Lakers girls shine at swimming States
March 2, 2017 By Thomas Joyce
The final meet of the season is not only important because it determines a team's final record and measures their total season success, but also because it is a testament to what they have done all throughout the season and the overall progression of individuals in their athletic careers.
Since December, the Silver Lake girls swim team gave it their best effort and at the Division 1 State meet on Saturday, Feb. 18, four of their top swimmers showed what they were capable of in several different events.
The end result of the meet held at Boston University was definitely a positive one for the Lakers. While they did not win a State Championship, they came close. The team amassed 154 points so in the end, they came in fourth place among 37 competing programs despite only competing in 10 of the meet's 12 events. The Lakers lacked competitors in the diving events.
While the Lakers were not team state champs, it did not stop junior Maddie Milbert from winning a state championship of her own. Her time of 56.99 seconds in the 100-yard backstroke was good for a first place finish. Milbert was also within a second of a first place 200 yard individual medley win, but her 2:07.66 was still good for second place in the event.
As a team, the Lakers also came within a second of a title in an individual event: the 200 yard medley relay (1:51.01). They also came in seventh in the 400 yard freestyle relay (3:44.57).
Senior captain Lindsay Kalinowski, sophomore Katherine Morrissey and freshman Alexa Connors also competed for the Lakers.
In her final meet with the Lakers, Kalinowski came in seventh place in the 100 yard breastroke (1:10:08). She also had a 15th place finish in the 500 yard freestyle (5:31.29).
Morrissey took ninth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:11.17) and 12th in the 100 yard butterfly (1:00.78) while Connors finished third in the 200 yard freestyle (1:55.53) and fourth in the 500 yard freestyle (5:11.40).
With three of their top four swimmers returning, the Lakers should be in position for another successful season next school year.

Q: Compile error when packaging maven project I'm using datanucleus/mongodb. I recently converted my dynamic web project to maven in Eclipse because I wanted to use the maven buildnumber plugin. However I am just trying to get it to work now in maven. I do not have issues getting my simple projects to compile and run with Eclipse.
My projects are divided into 3 - main, LibA, LibAA.
Main relies/uses stuff in LibA (or directly from LibAA as well) and LibA relies/uses stuff from LibAA. LibAA doesn't know of other projects.
Example:
LibAA - DObject data class file
LibA - DRemote inherits from DObject
Main - DStaff inherits from DObject
That's how I set the dependencies in Pom xml.
So the issue here is that whenever I tried mvn clean package/install in Main project, I always get symbol not found for the data classes files that inherits from LibAA.
Datanucleus query says DStaff has been renamed to QDStaff, then later further down the process, it says DObject could not be found. Is it because DObject has been internally renamed to QDObject as well, hence it is too late to find them?
2 questions.
1: why is my data files being renamed. I.e a Q character is prependded
2: why am I still getting the symbol not found error despite calling datanucleus enhancer and correctly setting the dependencies? I have no problems with standalone data class files but only those that inherits DObject is the LibAA project.
I seems to have been missing something..
Any insights is appreciated.
edit: added a example partial compile log (with most of the similar errors/log removed)

To iterate, DAccountApp exists in the main project. Main project depends on a lib named KMSLib, and KMSLib depends on a project named RHSLib. I have tried making Main project depend directly with both projects but to no avail.

Two months ago, the Standing Committee on National Defence initiated a study on the defence bidding process. This study was occasioned by large-scale purchases of military equipment, including many projects that had no competitive bids. In my view, the process is not working very well. The lines of responsibility are not clear and there is a lack of stakeholder involvement, which should play a greater role in the process.
My political party claims, with justification, that before proceeding to purchasing, it would be essential to first establish a defence policy, and afterwards develop a military capacity plan. The current Canadian policy dates from 2005, when the Liberals were in power. The Liberals had promised to release a capacity plan in the month following their defence policy. We never got it. Worse, on January 27, 2006, there was a change of government, and no new policy was delivered, and consequently no military capacity plan. Yet the Conservative government announced over $20 billion in military expenditures.
Several reports have revealed that, at a certain point in the process, information is submitted to the Standing Committee on National Defence. The Bloc Québécois advocates this procedure when the amount involved exceeds $100 million.
This is not suggesting a right to veto. We advocate the right to be informed, as elected representatives of the people.
The problems with the current system are due to a lack of long-term planning.
Indeed, the current situation is dictated by the vagaries of electoral mandates. There are clearly several dangers with this approach. First, the government's commitments cannot be renewed when a new government takes the reins of power. Moreover, this usually leads to the astronomical costs of broken contracts. A typical example is the cancellation by the Liberal Party in 1993 of the maritime helicopter contract. Seven hundred million dollars in costs had to be repaid by Canadian taxpayers following that cancellation.
The end of a mandate may require fancy footwork on the part of the government to avoid getting entangled in big expenditures. Moreover, in such cases, the opposition usually cancels the contract as soon as it comes to power.
The solution would be to bring all parties in the House together and try to reach a consensus on two mandates.
We feel that the Department of Defence should have overall responsibility for the approach, overseeing the smooth functioning of all projects carried out by all the ministries involved: Public Works could continue to handle the bidding process; Industry Canada could handle the economic benefits; Treasury Board could ensure proper conduct and compliance with the project terms; however, National Defence would be the main contractor, and would be accountable for the progress of all projects. DND would also be responsible for the integrated project team drawn from the departments concerned.
The integrated team should be set up as early as possible for each project. Therefore, the Integrated Project Team (IPT) program should be reinstated.
The 10 largest projects should be audited annually by the Auditor General. The Defence Committee has requested the Auditor General to investigate acquisition projects that have been announced.
The new administration would require a systematic review of the ten largest projects. In this case, it would involve ensuring the proper conduct of every project and demonstrating the transparency that is absent at present.
The acquisition process is complex. Many countries have worked out various procedures. We must continuously seek a balance between the needs of the armed forces, the materiel acquisition process, the delivery period and good value for the taxpayers. In addition, this process should be regularly reviewed.
We must not fear change. In this ever-changing world, our ways of doing things must constantly evolve.

The Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), founded by Dr. Denise Herzing in 1985, is engaged in an ambitious, long-term scientific study of a specific pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins that live 40 miles off the coast of the Bahamas, in the Atlantic Ocean. For about 100 days each year, Phase I research has involved the photographing, videotaping, and audio taping of a group of resident dolphins, aiming to learn about their lives.
The rest of the year is spent in the laboratory in Jupiter, Florida, archiving the information that has been gathered during the field season. WDP has now accumulated unprecedented amounts of baseline data about these dolphins, their relationships with other dolphins, and their daily lives in the ocean. In addition, WDP has grown up with, and intimately knows, many of the individuals.
At Dolphin Encounters, we direct our guests to invest in scientific literature and resources that support on-going marine mammal research. Over the years, guests have purchased hundreds of copies the custom Wild Dolphin Project Book with 100% of the proceeds going to support their valuable work studying spotted dolphins in the wild.
Witness the beautiful photographs of the Wild Dolphin Project and have the story of the dolphins unfold before your very eyes. This amazing book is a priceless addition to any book collection for aspiring marine biologists and for those who consider the ocean and its inhabitants precious.
