Review: Soulstice – Movies Games and Tech
by Arthur · January 7, 2023
Hack 'n slash adventure titles are low on my priority list. Why? Well, they're usually repetitive and full of annoying soundbites. But every now and then I'm wrong, and a game from this genre stops me in my tracks. Soul acquisition was such an experience that surprised me. Without the usual mindless fighting and annoying noise, I was pleasantly surprised. Still, will it do enough to change how I feel about the genre?
Developed by Reply Game Studios and published by Game mode, this is a fantasy hack 'n slash title. Also, it's rich in history and has some phenomenal acting throughout. On top of this, the combat is fascinating, the action is balanced, and it's perfect for newcomers and veterans alike.
Use the hammer to annihilate your enemies.
Soul acquisition is captivating but familiar.
It's all about the fight.
What about Briar?
Soul acquisition looks fantastic.
The controls are the cherry on top of the cake.
Soul acquisition is a great game.
The gaming industry is fickle and players worldwide complain bitterly about the lack of originality. For the most part, this is a fair point of view, but sometimes I love to see a glimpse of top games in other developers' work. Equivalent, Soul acquisition had a familiar edge to the visuals and gameplay. Although the plot was extremely linear, I was reminded of both devil may cry and NieR replicant. This is not a bad thing as both games are phenomenal. However, I don't think this has enough going for it to be awarded such accolades.
The story focuses on 2 sisters, Briar and Lute. The first is alive but cursed, and the second was sacrificed to ensure the pair were reborn as The Chimera. These wicked beings are destined to share an intertwined existence, but they don't care. Instead, they use their new powers to help The Order and help the sprawling city of Fire. A tear has appeared over the city and the Order must investigate the cause, fight the wraiths and rectify the situation. This is where the sisters come into play. Working together, The Chimera will dispel these evil forces and save the day.

With a predominantly hack 'n slash core, the game unsurprisingly focuses on the combat mechanics. Nevertheless, it still tells an incredible story thanks to the wonderful acting and attractive cinematography. The game is divided into chapters that include pockets of combat, some basic exploration, and the odd secret to find. The secrets transport you to a challenge arena where you must pit your skills against waves of beasts and creatures. These additional missions can be revisited at any time if you want to practice or improve your final score.
However, the body of the game concentrates on excellent combat mechanics. To begin with, the game gives you a gentle introduction that is particularly underwhelming. Nevertheless, after a few hours, the fight becomes intense, and each of the protagonists expands their vocabulary of attacks and their arsenal of weapons. Lute is an ethereal being and functions in a support role. In doing so, she is the guardian of her living sibling. By increasing her blocking ability or the range of her spectral powers, she is a useful ally to call upon.
Use Lute's powers to slay ghostly creatures.
Briar, on the other hand, is a cold-blooded killer. Armed with a meaty sword, her skill tree focuses solely on her destructive powers. As the game unfolds, she wields a hammer, a bow, and a giant metal fist. The first allows you to take out swarms of enemies in one quick attack. Alternatively, the bow takes down your enemies from afar and the gauntlet decimates their armor. Each unique weapon is an essential tool for dealing with the swarms of beasts you will encounter.

As the game progresses, you must combine your sister's powers to succeed. Lute must use her spectral range to allow Briar to kill the gruesome apparitions. Alongside this, her ability to freeze and block attacks is an important combat mechanic. This is then perfectly balanced with the entropy meter. This special meter ensures that Lute uses his powers sparingly. If the meter maxes out, she disappears and Briar is left alone and exposed. Accordingly, you must balance each of the sisters to overcome each battle encounter.
When a game is a blurry activity, you need it to look good and perform admirably. Luckily, Soul acquisition do just that. Its gloomy and oppressive color palette is complemented by the evocative dialogue and fascinating plot. Also, the combat animation is smooth, OTT, and has a wonderful fantasy edge. Consequently, it looks amazing and the backgrounds are exciting. My only frustration came whenever I wanted to explore the huge, sprawling city. Unfortunately, invisible walls and the linear approach prevent you from venturing off the designated path.
Alongside the magical visuals, there were some great audio moments. The plot is delivered perfectly thanks to the phenomenal acting. Furthermore, the aggressive soundtrack is supplemented with loud and unpleasant sound effects. In short, it's loud, in your face, but boy, does it work well.
Grab the bow and take down your enemies.
Things get better when you consider the control layout. With many combos to perform and some meaty fights to tackle, it could be tough to play. Fortunately, the excellent layout, responsive inputs and thorough tutorials make it easy to play. As such, even when the new mechanics are dropped in, you never feel out of depth.

The developers have done a good job with both longevity and replay value. The aforementioned secret arenas are more exciting and challenging. Also, each match is ranked to give each chapter an overall score. This was an excellent idea as perfectionists will return to get the best result. Alongside this, there are a number of difficulty settings to defeat along the way.
Although it is not as good as NieR or devil may cry, Soul acquisition is a great game. However, I wasn't a fan of the strict linear style or the occasionally repetitive plot. However, the amazing graphics, amazing sound and brilliant controls make up for this. That's why I recommend you buy it here! Can you help The Order and save the day? Work as a team, master your skills and defeat each monster.

Satan Concert Review, Richmond, VA 04/15/2014
What a whirlwind of shows I have been though in the last couple of weeks. I'm tired. So tired. But it's a good tired and my music fetish is being well served lately.
So 'back in the day' cerca 1984, my friend Daniel (Danile) bought Satan's Court in the Act and shared it with Kelz, Petey and me and the rest is metal history. I've loved this album since it first hit my ears. Brian Ross' vocals mixed with those awesome NWOBHM styled riffs made for a perfect album. The 4 of us have always been close friends, played in bands together and never lost touch over the years. We're bound by metal, friendship, life events (good and bad) and have always been there for one another as needed.
Flash forward 30 years and the 4 of us still adore this album. When Satan announced a small US tour, there was no way I was going to miss it. I knew that I'd have to travel somewhere and luckily Richmond, VA was on the list…surprisingly so. So we started planning the trip. Kelz and Danile have kids and going out of town on a weeknight was going to be a little more difficult because of family and work obligations but they made it happen. I'm sure there was some sort of bribery or Jedi mind tricks with their wives. And that was that. Another MitchFest was in the works, this time with all 4 of us. I flew into Raleigh and stayed Monday night with Kelz and the fambly. Always great hospitality at their house. Tuesday morning we headed to Suffolk, VA to grab Danile and quickly headed up ti Petey's house in Richmond. Unfortunately the wife and kids were out on errands so I didn't get to see them this time. The car ride was as expected. Mama jokes, old stories of our younger years, gushing about metal etc. Before getting to Richmond, we decided to stop and grab a bite to eat at a BBQ place in Chester, VA. I love the NC/VA style of pork BBQ. I can't get it in Texas. My sandwich was perfect, exactly what I needed.
We get to Petey's and are greeted by his awesome wife, Amy. He gets home shortly after and after some adult conversation and life and things that matter, the roundtable of silliness begins again. We're perpetually 13 years old when we're all together and it's a great time. Now it's time to get ready for the show.
Satan are playing Strange Matter in Richmond which used to be Twisters and then later Nancy Raygun. I've seen a handful of shows there since the mid-90s and always like the place. It used to be a bit of a dump, but it had its charm. It's been cleaned up quite a bit and I'm glad that location is still doing shows. Before going in, we park then grub at a pub on the next block. Just a good time having a meal and a couple of beers with my best friends.
We walk back over to the venue, get our swag out of the car and go in. I see my pal Tony "Dio" from NC who I've known since about 1997 when we met at a Judas Priest show in Norfolk. I had just seen him the week before at Rangarokkr. As we're standing around jibber jabbering, I see John Gallagher from Raven walk in. How cool is that? I've never been a fan of the band but I did have lunch with him and his brother and their families in 2000 before their show at Jaxx in Springfield, VA. Nicest guy. I check out the merch table to hopefully get a Satan shirt, but no luck in my size. The cool thing was seeing my band's 7″ on the merch table. Our label was managing the Satan tour so it was great to meet those guys.
The first band to go on is Salvacion, a band from NC which has the drummer for Volture. They were OK. I couldn't quite gauge exactly what they were going for. The did a very uncomfortable version of Dokken's Unchain The Night. I think I would have enjoyed them more if it wasn't for the drummer. I get into that a little bit more when I talk about Volture.
Next up was BAT which features Felix Griffin (DRI) on drums and Ryan Waste (Municipal Waste/Volture) on vocals/bass and Volture's Nick Poulos on guitar. They come on and run through a blistering set of thrash/speed metal songs that were all about 3 minutes long. Old school style. They were solid and Felix really ripped it up in single bass style on a 4 pc drumset. I enjoyed it and would love to see them again.
Right after BAT played, I feel a hand on my shoulder and hear a voice say my name. I turn around and it was a girl that I had dated briefly in 1991 and that I hadn't seen since right around that time. She had seen on Facebook that I was in town and just stopped in to say hello. She couldn't stay as her husband and kid were outside in the car. I swear she was only there for about 3 minutes and even paid to get in. I was floored by the gesture. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. That's the type of person she always was. Very thoughtful. It was a special moment for sure. I'm still a bit "wow'd" by the whole thing.
Volture comes on next and I hadn't really paid much attention to them in the past. There's just so much out there that I can't keep up any more. The members are a mishmash of members from Municipal Waste, Immortal Avenger, Twisted Tower Dire, BAT etc. I really liked the vocals. The guy has some great pipes and the guitarists are perfect. But the drummer…I just can't take it. He was doing way too many Rikki Rokkett type moves instead of worrying about keeping good time. I'm a drummer as well. I'm hyper critical of other drummers that I see. When he was just playing the beat and not doing dumb stick tricks, his timing was fine. But when he'd go into circus mode, the timing would fluctuate, he wasn't hitting the snare cleanly and it would drop out of the mix and he tended to keep time on his bass drum to where he's hitting the bass and snare at the same time. Sorry, it just annoyed me to no end. Obviously his band has no issue with it, but I would for sure. :) But again, overall they sounded killer.
And then…Satan…SATAN. I never ever thought in my lifetime that I'd get to see them live. Right as Volture ended we made our way to the front of the stage. Danile and I were right on the barricade and Kelz and Petey were right behind us. Satan opens up with Trial By Fire and Ross' vocals are on point. He skipped the first scream in the song and I though 'uh oh, he can't do it any more.' And then there it was. His patented high notes came on cue everywhere else in the song and the rest of the set. I was completely in awe as to how well he still sings. He sounded perfect. They ran though a mix of songs from Court in the Act, Life Sentence, a couple of early demos and one from Into the Future of which Brian wasn't the singer. They added No Turning Back mid-set which was a nice surprise. Of course we were hoping to hear the whole Court album but I have no complaints whatsoever about the set. They were incredible. Ramsey/Tippins are still a formidable guitar duo and the songs on their latest album prove that. It was just such a powerful set. Still blown away as to how good Ross' vocals are.
After the show, most people leave and we stick around to meet the Satan guys. Success! They all come out after a little break and sign swag, take pictures with us nerds etc. It was especially nice to be sitting between Sean Taylor and John Gallagher listening to them talk about gifts they've sent to each others kids and some "back in the day" kinds of things.
It's been a week since the show and I am still buzzing about it. Really a once in a lifetime show. Even more, I got to spend some quality time with my three best friends. That was as important as the show. It's really nice knowing that even if we don't see each other that often these days, we can always pick up right where we left off. Love those guys.

Divinest Attributes deserves to share?
Those great Foundations on which Empires build.
And send Chimera's to their Mother-Cloud.
To all that sought him with compliant Will.
The only Badge of true Nobility.
On Honours Ruines, when 'tis Captive led.
There were other opinions about Rochester's courage. This line is possibly an allusion to Carr Scroope's Epigram, see No. 5.

His body's here, but Soul above the Skies.
The World's Obscurity and Emptiness?
The earliest Wit, and the most sudden Saint.
And strive to rob thee of thy Moral Praise?
With thy Creator, time was to discry.
Play'd their wild pranks and made the Vulgar gaze.
They sin in Types, that sin so unprepar'd.
They needs must conquer that can well surprise.
Know where to fix a restless rambling heart.
Confound their Glasses, and begin to think.
His Arguments were lent for sport not prey.
Resum'd again for Mischief, or for noise.
ROCHESTER said 'twas true! it must be so!
He had no Dispensation from Below.
With pleasant Baits, and tempt 'em to their cure.
His Malice not so prosperous as thy Art.
Those easie souls he spirited away.

With unresisted Force, that propt the Crown.
And brought three Kingdoms to his Master's Laws.

Russia opens civil cases against Facebook, Twitter - report
Russia's communication watchdog said on Monday it was opening administrative proceedings against Twitter and Facebook for failing to comply with data laws, the Interfax news agency reported.

21 Jan 2019 05:15PM (Updated: 21 Jan 2019 05:55PM )
MOSCOW: Russia's communication watchdog said on Monday it was opening administrative proceedings against Twitter and Facebook for failing to explain how they plan to comply with local data laws, the Interfax news agency reported.
Roskomnadzor, the watchdog, was quoted as saying that Twitter and Facebook had not explained how and when they would comply with legislation that requires all servers used to store Russians' personal data to be located in Russia.
The agency's head, Alexander Zharov, was quoted as saying the companies have a month to provide information or else action would be taken against them.
Russia has introduced tougher internet laws in the last five years, requiring search engines to delete some search results, messaging services to share encryption keys with security services and social networks to store Russian users' personal data on servers within the country.
At the moment, the only tools Russia has to enforce its data rules are fines that typically only come to a few thousand dollars or blocking the offending online services, which is an option fraught with technical difficulties.
However, sources in November told Reuters that Moscow plans to impose stiffer fines on technology firms that fail to comply with Russian laws.

Qajar art exhibit celebrates 30 years of political relations between Iran, Armenia
An exhibition displaying artworks from the Qajar period (1789-1925) in Yerevan is celebrating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Iran and Armenia.
Iranart: The exhibit underway at the Matenadaran, a museum and repository of manuscripts in the Armenian capital, is being organized in collaboration between the museum and the Iranian Cultural Center in the country, the Embassy of Iran in Yerevan announced on Friday.
Matenadaran director Vahan Ter-Ghevondyan, Iranian Ambassador Abbas Zohuri, Iranian cultural attaché Hossein Tabatabai, and a group of their colleagues visited the exhibition named "Iranian Cultural Day at Matenadaran".
They also attended a ceremony to unveil the fifth volume of "Persian Documents of the Matenadaran Decrees" written by Kristine P. Kostikyan, an Armenian scholar who was also in attendance at the unveiling ceremony.
The collection consists of governmental decrees that were issued concerning the Armenians during the Safavid period (1501-1736).
In his short speech, Zohuri said that the history of relations between Iran and Armenia needs to be reviewed regularly in the modern world, and praised the scholars who are studying in this field to generate food for thought for the academic centers.
He expressed his hope that the continuation of these study projects could prevent the distortion of historical facts, providing present and future generations with the truth about the history of the region.
The curator of the exhibition, Ivet Tajaryan, also briefed visitors about artworks on view at the exhibition, and said that it has taken over four years to accumulate the artworks for the showcase, which will run for about a year.
Some of the artifacts are from Tajaryan's personal collection.
Speaking in a visit to the Matenadaran earlier in October, Tabatabai said that Iran is seeking closer cooperation with Armenia on the restoration of Persian manuscripts.
Ara Philipossian, an Iranian-Armenian professor of chemical engineering at the University of Arizona, who is scheduled to finance an immense project, which includes the restoration of Persian manuscripts at the Matenadaran, accompanied Tabatabai.
The Matenadaran has recently asked Iran to organize a workshop to be given by an Iranian scholar at the museum on the restoration of manuscripts with lacquered covers.
The Matenadaran – Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, home to Islamic manuscripts, now contains a total of 2715 volumes, 450 of which are in Persian.
The museum was established in 1959 on the basis of the nationalized collection of the Armenian Church, formerly held at Etchmiadzin.

March 28 Introduce Yourself
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasn't feeling his best this week and he added a cut to his right thumb during Sunday's game against the Jets.Brady got it taken care of by the training staff and went on to turn in a strong game in New England's 27-3 win. Brady was 20-of-31 for 283 yards and two touchdowns while moving past Peyton Manning for the most career passing yards in the regular season and postseason.All that came after Brady was limited in practice by a knee injury on Thursday and missed practice altogether with an illness entering the picture on Friday."I'd prefer to be healthy and practicing all the time James White Color Rush Jersey ," Brady said, via NBC Sports Boston. "It just wasn't the case. Just get back at it right now and try to feel as good as I can next week."One of Brady's touchdown passes went to Rob Gronkowski in Gronk's first appearance since Week Nine. Brady said "it's great for our offense" to have Gronkowski back in action and they'll hope everyone remains in place to face the Vikings next Sunday. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reached 1,000 career rushing yards earlier this season. It took the future Hall of Famer 19 years to reach the figurative mile stone.Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will reach 1,000 yards on the ground a bit sooner. If he keeps up his current pace, the rookie will hit the mark next season.While Brady is the superior passer, Allen is without a doubt more dangerous as a ball carrier. In fact, no other quarterback in the league comes close to the seventh overall selection of this year's draft when it comes to production on the ground: he has carried the football 75 times this season for 506 yards and six touchdowns. His number of scores as well as his 50.6 rushing yards per game rank him first in the NFL among quarterbacks.Limiting Allen's impact on scrambles therefore has to be imperative for the Patriots defense on Sunday, when the team welcomes the Bills to Gillette Stadium. "He's a strong guy," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said about the 22-year old yesterday. "We've seen him stiff-arm some people. He's definitely fast. He can outrun guys. You have to take good angles and obviously wrap him up and try not to let him get started."When Allen gets started https://www.patriotsfanstore.com/Stephen-Gostkowski-Jersey , he is indeed a dangerous player — one that actually leads his team in every major rushing category except attempts. "I'd say most of Allen's long runs have been off scrambles," Belichick said when asked about how Allen gains his yards. "He's got some designed plays, quarterback draws and keeps and things like that. I'd say most of the big runs — the 30, 40-yarders — have come off scrambles."Just last week, the Detroit Lions found out how dangerous of a runner Allen is. The team coached by ex-Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia saw the rookie play arguably his best game of the season, and it included Allen carrying the ball nine times for 16 yards. One of the runs was a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter:NFL Game PassAllen started in the shotgun formation and it appears as if the play was originally designed for him to pass the football. He goes through his reads but ultimately does not feel confident throwing against a nickel package that saw seven players drop into coverage and an eighth — linebacker Jarrad Davis (#40) serving as a spy. Instead, the rookie decided to take off against the three-man rush.The quarterback moved to his right, quickly faked a pass to freeze Davis, and outran him and the rest of Detroit's defense to the pylon for six points. While the play gained only three yards in the stat sheet Matthew Slater Color Rush Jersey , it illustrates what makes Allen such a dangerous player with the ball in his hands. He displayed tremendous vision to recognize the opening to the formation's weak side, was patient enough to use a pump-fake, and showcased his straight-line speed to get to the perimeter.One week earlier, the New York Jets fell victim to Allen's scrambling. Displaying the same traits, the rookie gained 101 yards and a touchdown on just nine carries — the longest of which coming in the early first quarter, again on a scramble play:NFL Game PassNew York rushed five players to attack the pocket, and was actually able to come close to Allen. In the process of doing so, however, the Jets' defensive line opened up the left-side A-gap for the Wyoming product to exploit. And exploit it he did: as soon as he felt the pressure coming close Ryan Allen Jersey , he took off. On the way to a first down, Allen also ran through a tackle attempt by standout defensive lineman Leonard Williams (#92).With nobody guarding the underneath zones and the wide receivers reacting quickly to the scramble drill to try and block the defensive backs guarding them, the rookie was able to gain 31 yards. His speed and vision were on display once again, as was his strength — as mentioned by Belichick yesterday — to fight off a takedown attempt by a defensive lineman.Safe to say that the Patriots will have their hands full when it comes to containing Allen. "He's a hard guy to defend," Belichick noted. In order to successfully defend him, his team will have to learn from past mistakes made by both the teams that allowed Allen to gain considerable yards against them as well as by the Patriots themselves against similarly mobile quarterbacks.The Chicago Bears' Mitchell Trubisky, for example, was able to gain 81 yards and score a touchdown on just six carries. New England's major problem when it played the Bears in week seven was keeping the quarterback from breaking the pocket. Trubisky's first scramble of the day is a perfect example of that:NFL Game PassJust like Allen's run against the Jets, this 14-yard scamper to convert a 3rd and 6 was made possible by the defense giving the quarterback room to run: The Bears were able to create an opening for Trubisky Danny Shelton Color Rush Jersey , and the second-year man was happy to exploit it, while New England did not keep a defender near the box to prevent a potential quarterback scramble from happening.On Sunday, the Patriots need to show that they have learned from the mistakes they made against Trubisky. Their gap integrity up front needs to be on-point while the edge defenders need to be able to set a hard edge if need be — something that has worked well on one side of the line, but not so much on the other: Trey Flowers is one of the NFL's better run stoppers from the edge but Adrian Clayborn, John Simon and Deatrich Wise Jr. as well as the linebackers coming down have been inconsistent in this area.In order to slow down Josh Allen, the NFL's most dangerous scrambling quarterback, New England needs a solid performance from everyone in the front seven. Discipline, sound technique and a game plan respecting the passer as a ball carrier are imperative in order to find success against the talented rookie.

Social inequality with a focus on gender and social policy. My work mainly focuses on lone mothers' experiences with government policies such as Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, Subsidized Housing, Subsidized Childcare and Ontario Student Assistance Program.
What interesting research findings have emerged from your work? Despite efforts to reform policy to facilitate lone mothers' transitions into the workforce the current social assistance framework effectively excludes lone mothers from successful participation in programming.

Klasické období řeckých dějin nebo klasické Řecko je označení pro období a kulturu starověkého Řecka v pátém a čtvrtém století př. n. l. mezi tzv. archaickým obdobím a dobou helénskou. Zpravidla se datuje roky 500 př. n. l. (iónské povstání) nebo 480 (bitva u Salamíny) a 336 či 323 př. n. l. (začátek či konec vlády Alexandra Velikého). Za "klasickou", v původním významu "prvotřídní" a tedy hodnou následování, považovali literaturu tohoto období již pozdější antičtí autoři. Od renesance se umění klasické doby považovalo za vrchol čisté řecké kultury, zatímco helénismus svým prolínáním s orientálními kulturami byl vnímán jako období jistého úpadku.

Počátek období je poznamenán řecko-perskými válkami (499–449), které pomáhaly zásadním způsobem formovat pocit sounáležitosti a národního sebevědomí Řeků a znamenaly vzestup postavení městských států (polis) Athén a Sparty. Zvláště Athény zažily mimořádný rozvoj v době nejvýznamnějšího demokratického politika Perikla (461, resp. 443–429) a proto se také používá označení Periklova doba nebo Perikovo století. V následné peloponéské válce (431–404), konfliktu téměř celého řeckého světa rozděleného do táborů obou předních městských států, byly demokratické Athény poraženy oligarchickou Spartou. To znamenalo krizi a počínající úpadek řeckých městských států. O novém hegemonovi se nerozhodlo ani mezi Spartou a Thébami u Mantineie (362) a tak se otevřel prostor pro vzestup království Makedonie, které hrálo klíčovou roli ve sjednocení a východní expanzi Řeků a jejich kultury v následujícím období.

Klasické období je dobou všestranného rozvoje kultury. Ve slovesném umění se vyvinuly nové žánry: v dramatu tragédie (Aischylos, Sofoklés, Eurípidés) a komedie (Aristofanés), historická próza (Hérodotos, Thúkydidés), rétorika (Démosthenés) a filosofie (sofisté, Platón, Sókratés, Aristotelés). Výtvarné umění zaznamenalo v sochařství posun od strnulých kúroi a korai ke kombinaci dokonale zvládnuté anatomie a ideálně volených proporcí postav v kontrapostu (Feidiás, Polykleitos, Praxiteles). Klasická řecká architektura, pro kterou je typický sloupový chrám, se vyvinula již v archaickém období. V klasické době se architektura dále rozvíjí, např. na athénské chrámové Akropoli, kde Parthenón představuje dokonalou chrámovou architekturu harmonicky spojující prvky dorského a iónského řádu, ke kterým se nově přidává řád korintský (chrám v Bassai). Dalším, hospodářským a politickým centrem polis byla agora s veřejnými budovami a sloupořadím (stoa). Nově vzniklý typ veřejné stavby byla divadla (athénské Dionýsovo). Naopak řecká keramika pokračovala v tradici rozvinuté již v archaickém období.

An interview with Neil Hawkins
The Wine Farm (Gippsland, Vic)
An interview with Neil Hawkins, The Wine Farm (Gippsland, Vic)
Tell us who you are and where we are.
I'm Neil Hawkins, I'm from South Africa, originally. Grew up there, trained there, made wine there. Then met my wife Anna over there, and then was living here a few months later. We got married, yesterday, to the day, eight years ago.
And we bought this place in … Four years ago. Around about then. And it's called The Wine Farm. And we called it that because in South Africa it's the generic term for vineyards or wineries, or wine farms, so you'll call it Kanonkop Wine Farm. So Anna thought it was a good idea to call it The Wine Farm, because we farm wine.
So what drew you to Gippsland?
Cold. If you go to New Zealand, everything, all flavours there are on steroids pretty much. The fruit preservation and the fruit intensity is always a lot more when it's cold, so I was just after that. You're quite a lot further south than where I was in South Africa, and you can see the difference in the fruit.
What do you think makes Gippsland so special?
It's unfound yet. It's a bit of a sleeping giant, really. You got … I don't think I want it to happen, but the big guys like Treasury, they're pumping, building, getting money, and going down to Tassie. But there's so much land you could plant up here and make a big project, like a big Pinot project. It's just easy to do here. Everything is cleared. What I love about it is that it's cleared for grazing land, so you don't have these big tracts of trees and fire hazards and it's already there. You just need to turn up the soil and plant.
So you've taken this farm over four years ago. What changes have you made in your approach to winemaking or farming?
Yeah. So, it was just a matter of only farming with two inputs, which are contact inputs on the leaf, for your fungicides, copper and sulfur. And you just get on to it regularly and then you can combat your disease pressure. Because you've got high disease pressure in this area. And the other big one is getting rid of the herbicides under the vine and in the whole vineyard and that allows the microbes to live, which brings the terroir through, helps bring the terroir through. So that was the big change, and then in the winery it was the same philosophy as well, just get rid of all the packets of yeast and nutrients and enzymes and fining agents and filters and pumps and … Go back to basics a bit.
Make it simple indeed. So what do you grow here?
Sauvignon, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Syrah.
All one acre of each, pretty much. So only a thousand bottles of each of those.
So, let's talk about Pinot for a second. How would you describe your Pinot and also Gippsland Pinot in general?
What I like in my wines is I like just a little bit of an edge to them. And just a slightly more rustic, kind of like a gritty textural thing on the palate. They don't have this massive big fruit bomb. You're not gonna get that here. Cause I use stems when I make the wine, but not carbonic, so I'm getting a bit geeky here. I hate carbonic, okay? It destroys everything that you're trying to show from the soil. So put it in the tank, step on it, really break those berries up but with all the stems. And it's interesting, the first two years I used all stems; this year I did an experiment to see if I was maybe making a mistake. And I've got a barrel of de-stemmed, a barrel of stems, we can try it if you want. It's very interesting to see the difference. And I still prefer the stem. Without the stem it's just a little bit too primary and just a little bit … It just doesn't have an edge to it.
What do you listen to during vintage?
Singer-songwriter. Nothing that is gonna be too out there, cause I'm always listening out for stuff. Listening out for presses making odd noises and … Yeah. So if it's too loud I can't concentrate too much. Yeah.
What do you think it is about Pinot that gets people going?
Cause if you make a mistake you see it. And if you don't make a mistake and you get it right, it just sings better than anything else. But it's gotta be grown in a cool climate to begin with. Firstly, that. And we've got that in Gippsland. And then after that just try not to muck about too much with it, but you can't just do nothing, cause at that point as well if you do nothing, totally, no sulfur, no nothing, nothing, it's just the same as interfering as much as possible.
Can you remember your first time tasting Pinot?
Yeah. Properly was at … Oh, what's that chap who was in Burgundy? Oh, he was very generous. Damn, and I forgot his name. But he took us in and he had a Grand Cru Échezeaux and he bought in pizza. It was pizza and Grand Cru Échezeaux and it was just awesome.
So aside from coming here, what's the one thing people should do when they come to Gippsland to visit?
You gotta go to the Prom. It's the southernmost point of mainland Australia and it's a nature reserve. It's protected. It's squeaky clean. There's beaches called Squeaky Beach. That's the one thing. And fishing. The fishing here is great.
Where do you Pinot?
I like it, it's a verb.
Favorite place to Pinot? It'll be around my dinner table for sure. In the house, with people, not on my own. Definitely with people. And just make sure Anna's cooked up something really great that'll go with it. Yeah.

Judicial Candidate Brian Greenwald Wielded Gun in 2008 Road Rage Incident
Jess Swanson April 14, 2016 8:05AM
Throughout the Broward County courthouse, attorneys and defendants alike have said that Circuit Court Judge Matthew Destry is harsh and unpredictable with the sentences he hands down, as reported in a recent New Times investigation. This frustration motivated Fort Lauderdale attorney Brian Greenwald to challenge Destry, who was appointed to the bench in 2008. Greenwald announced in February that he would run for Destry's seat in this coming fall election.
Many have applauded Greenwald for throwing his hat in the ring. Greenwald has a reputation as a smart and hardworking lawyer with more than 150 jury trials under his belt. But a 2008 police report shows that Greenwald once wielded a handgun during a road rage incident, though no charges were brought against him.
The report, from April 2008, states that Greenwald, who was a public defender at the time, and Christopher Guzzardo, a Marine Corps veteran, were driving on Broward Boulevard when one was cut off by the other. (Guzzardo and Greenwald gave conflicting accounts.) Guzzardo then stopped his car in the left lane on Broward Boulevard in front of Greenwald's car. Guzzardo told police he got out of his vehicle to ask Greenwald why he kept cutting him off. That's when, according to the report, "Greenwald grabbed his handgun, packed a round, and pointed the firearm at [Guzzardo] through the window." Both claim they were in fear of their lives. Guzzardo and Greenwald both called police.
In this instance of "he said, he said," Greenwald was not arrested, and Fort Lauderdale Police returned his .40 caliber handgun on the scene. But Guzzardo told police he wanted to press charges. In sworn testimony, Guzzardo said, "I spent 11 years in the Marine Corps around all kinds of weapons, threats, three times in combat and I never feared for my life like I did that day when [Greenwald's gun] was pointed at my head."
Greenwald's account is entirely different. In a letter sent by Greenwald's attorney to police, Greenwald maintained that "since he was unable to move his car away from the situation and the driver of the vehicle seemed prepared to escalate to a physical confrontation, Brian removed his firearm and displayed it to the driver through his window... Our contention is that Mr. Greenwald was justified by the circumstances to display his weapon in a gesture of self-defense."
The Broward County State Attorney's Office declined to press felony aggravated assault charges against Greenwald. In a May 2008 closeout memo, Assistant State Attorney Ed Walsh explained: "There are no neutral witnesses to this incident... I doubt that there is any reasonable possibility of proving a case against Greenwald beyond and to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt."
Eight years later, Guzzardo is shocked to hear that Greenwald is still practicing law and campaigning to become a judge. "'Maniacal' is the only adjective I can use to describe him," Guzzardo tells New Times. "He shouldn't be practicing law… How could he make a good judge when he clearly can't make his own judgment calls?"
Today, Greenwald stands by his actions. "He threatened my life and threatened to kill me," Greenwald tells New Times. "I was defending myself and had every right to do so as verified by police on the scene and the State Attorney's Office."
Greenwald was born and raised in South Florida. He attended the University of Florida and Syracuse College of Law. He then served as a Broward County public defender for eight years. In 2013, he went into private practice as a criminal defense attorney.
Last December, Greenwald was representing 23-year-old Herbert Smith when Destry sentenced Smith to 60 years in prison following a probation violation. Greenwald was shocked, given that the sentence was far longer than a 13-year plea deal initially offered by the prosecution. After public outcry, Destry mitigated the sentence to just probation.
That's ultimately what motivated Greenwald to challenge Destry. "Plenty of attorneys will complain about judges, but nothing will happen unless you are proactive and do something about it," he said at the time.
Earlier this month, high-profile Miami-Dade prosecutor Abbe Rifkin announced that she too will run for Destry's seat.
The primary election will be held in August.

The type of fixtures you choose to get for your bathroom will entirely affect the aesthetics of the bathroom. If you really want to make your bathroom beautiful, you should consider getting elegant fixtures, that will really give off a very sophisticated vibe such as a shapely sink instead of a bulky one. Keep in mind that you don't really need a huge space to create an elegant bathroom, you can already do that by choosing the appropriate fixtures. Another thing to keep in mind, is to keep everything consistent such as the hooks, dishes and other things. Everything should complement one another.
When it comes to a bath tub, bigger does not always mean better. It may sound silly, but we advise that you sit in the bath before you decide to get it because that is when you will truly understand how it will feel when you take an actual bath in it. There are so many gorgeous designs of bathtubs these days that will really change the whole look of your bathroom, as they will be the centre of attention.
Mirrors are probably the most important part of a bathroom. Perhaps even more so than a bath. It not only adds to the functionality of the bathroom but also to its beauty. A beautiful mirror can be a centre piece for your bathroom and also give the illusion of a bigger bathroom. Moreover, mirrors are the perfect disguise for your mess of toiletries as they usually serve the purpose of a cabinet.
When you are thinking about bathroom renovations, make sure you give a good amount of thought to the lighting of the bathroom. The lighting will be the cherry on top of a beautiful bathroom, and it will also determine the overall aesthetics. A renovated bathroom that is not properly lit, will be of no use because you wont be able to see all the new additions you have made.
If your bathroom is not a big one, then you can opt for a shower cabin instead of a tub. They are the perfect way of making small spaces work, and there are so many ways where you can add a modern touch to your bathroom with the help of your shower area.

Why Are We Conscious?
A Scientist's Take on Consciousness and Extrasensory Perception
by David E. H. Jones
268 pages, 153.00 x 229.00 mm
Hardcover -
Other Retailers:
There are two huge gaps in scientific theory. One, the contradiction between classical and quantum mechanics, is discussed in many publications. The other, the total failure to explain why anything made of atoms (such as ourselves) can be conscious, has little acknowledgement. The main thesis of this book is that to be conscious at all, you need an unconscious mind. The author explores the idea that this mind sometimes makes contact with a whole unknown world, sporadically revealed by paranormal effects, but perhaps discoverable by hitherto uninvented scientific instruments.
The book looks at the notion of the unconscious mind, one of the most important hypotheses of the twentieth century. Psychiatrists often deploy it rather informally, but there is no accepted theory of it. No region of the human brain seems to hold it. The author delves into the notion that the unknown world exists and is very weakly coupled to the physical world. He ponders the properties it may have to allow this coupling, looks at several paranormal effects scientifically and points out that many of them seem to imply brief but dramatic changes of the forces between atoms—a possible effect of the unknown world, unexamined by physical science.
David E. H. Jones is a British chemist and author, perhaps best known for his weekly lighthearted, provocative scientific column, started in the mid-1960s in New Scientist under the pen name Daedalus. In the 1980s he transferred the Daedalus column to Nature and The Guardian, where it continued for many years. He published two books with columns from these magazines, along with additional comments and implementation sketches: The Inventions of Daedalus: A Compendium of Plausible Schemes (1982) and The Further Inventions of Daedalus (1999). He has worked in academia, industry and television. Jones's most notable scientific contribution as Daedalus is possibly his prediction of hollow carbon molecules before buckminsterfullerene was made, and long before its synthesizers won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of fullerenes. Other than Daedalus, in scientific circles he is perhaps best known for his study of bicycle stability, his determination of arsenic in Napoleon's wallpaper, and for having designed and flown an experiment to grow a chemical garden in microgravity. In 2009 a documentary film about his work and inventions, Perpetual Motion Machine, was made and shown at the Newcastle Science Festival, 2010.

"In eighteen short chapters plus five technical appendices covering statistics ('star' card guessers guess 4% better than chance), quantum physics, including Schrodinger's cat, the decline of determinism, the brain considered as an information and data storage device and the Anthropic Principle, he attempts a 'take' on the subjects of his title. Jones provides a well written summary of our knowledge of the physical world. This knowledge is based upon repeatable experiments and accurate predictions unaffected by our moods and desires, indicating that the physical world exists independently of our private observational selves. . . . He likens our predicament to living inside a diving bell enclosed by a nonphysical unknown world. He postulates that to be conscious . . . requires the pre-existence of a unconscious mind. . . . Without an unconscious mind a conscious mind is not, according to Jones, possible, and it the unconscious mind that can sometimes communicate with the unknown world outside the diving bell. It the unconscious mind which can sometimes offer revelatory insights into the questioning conscious mind as in the 'AHA' moment of scientific discovery. . . . Jones enjoys attaching numbers to things and offering statistical estimates."

This brochure provides an insight into the everyday lives of rural women, who, despite the difficult circumstances of rural life, work hard to improve their lives as well as of those around them. The brochure draws together stories of strong and inspirational rural women, who, with confidence and determination, changed their lives for the better.
National Research on Low Female Labour Market Participation (Quantitative based evidence from a new survey)
This is the first study that examines female inactivity in details, based on a large, representative sample of female citizens in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Data enable us to develop a profile of the "typical" inactive woman in the country, which can be then used to design policies to promote female activity, with particular emphasis on women whose inactivity is not their individual choice.

The Impact of Public Investment in Social Care Services on Employment, Gender Equality and Poverty - The Turkish Case
Date: Sunday, 2 August 2015
The report aims to show that the fiscal prioritization of Early Childhood Care and Preschool Education expansion, and hence the building of a social infrastructure of care, over, for instance, investments in physical infrastructure/construction or cash transfers, presents an enormous potential for decent job creation, particularly in the femaledominated occupations and sectors.


Van got his Rody from Mimi while she was in town and he really has fun on it, he is a little young for it right now, so I assist him when he rides on it usually. Once he is big enough to jump on I probably wont have to help him anymore.
I feel a little scattered today, thinking about going back to work after a year of being home with Van makes my stomach tie into knots. I got all teary eyed today when I was feeding him his lunch. I think he knew how I was feeling because he just looked at me and smiled. It is time for us to get things back on track. However something that keeps manifesting itself is that positivity breeds more positivity. I went out on Saturday night with some friends and we had a big talk about being positive and letting go of things that continue to eat away at your core. I am feeling fluid and trying to move forward in the right direction. I know I can do it, it is just a hard step to take. Probably the hardest place I have found myself ever. I will let the positivity prevail and continue to thank God for the blessings I do have, my husband my son, faith, hope, love, health, a roof, a warm bed & a family who loves beyond words.


← dinner and a facelift.
the beautiful blair from Delight By Design was in town last week.
she recently moved from jackson hole to chicago to work on her design career.
we met up for a sunny breakfast at one of her favorite spots in town, shades cafe.
blair just launched her own website which offers interior design for all homeowners, even those on a budget. check it out here.
her blog makes me swoon every time i take a peek.
blair was kind enough to answer a few questions as the newest addition to Jackson Folk.
How did you get into Interior Design out West?
The short answer – being passionate, persistent and impulsive!
What took you to Chicago and any plans to return?
My family and the desire to really give my interior design career a shot. It felt like the "adult thing" to do. As for moving back, especially after this past trip – yes!! However, I know I still have more I need to accomplish in Chicago before I can really let myself indulge in thoughts of rejoining mountain life.
Scariest thing about starting your own business?
I would say it was the telling the first person about the idea for my firm, of making high end design accessible to anyone anywhere, and thinking "god I hope they get it!" It is an approach that many other designers frown upon (it can be a pretentious industry) so the potential backlash was a bit scary. However, I believe in what I am doing, as it broke my heart seeing homeowners get turned away from traditional designers just because they didn't meet a minimum budget or room requirement.
Where to you get your inspirations for Delight by Design?
I read a ton — on everything from fashion, travel to architecture. My office walls and floors are covered in torn out pages, which is where most posts start. And this may be random but I am really inspired by fretwork, which started when I was in Italy and Spain last year—I have over 300 photos of fretwork from the trip, everything from sewer drains to windows.
Favorite place to shop for interiors online?
For splurges, I would say South of the Market and Pieces. For selection, zinc door is amazing, as is Shop Candelabra. For budget friendly items–I love Shades of Light!
What did you do for your 30th birthday weekend while you were here in Jackson?
It was amazing and exhausting! I just couldn't let myself waste a second of the trip by resting, as I am sure Meagan realized from my glazed expression when we had breakfast! I spent a ton of time with friends, took some runs up in the park, hiked Snow King, visited the LSR Preserve (one of my favorite places), experimented with the effects of combining Makers Mark and altitude, paddle boarded for the first time, canoed up at Oxbow bend, and laughed more than I have for a very long time.
What do you miss most about Jackson?
Ummm…everything, even mud season! I have lived there on and off since I was 15– it feels like home and is one of the only places I am truly myself. The people and the beauty of the valley always inspire me.
Spending an active day outdoors and then treating yourself to a Bugermiester and Spaten at Steiglers. Pretty much my perfect Jackson day!

I've been stuck on this problem for a while now. We recently migrated our website from Rackspace to AWS hosting. Reinstalled wordpress, bbpress, and was able to migrate most of the site. Now I'm having problems with the Forums, Topics, and Replies.
On my forum page it shows the number of topic and replies, but when you click on it, it doesn't show them, and on the topics you can click on, it won't show the replies. I exported them using Tools>Export and exported Forums, Topics, and Replies, and imported them the same way, assigning them users. I can see every topic and reply in the wordpress panel, just not in my forums.
My forums can be seen here http://freeskies.co/forums/forums/.
This problem also affects new topics. When I create a new topic, it will remove all of these topics and posts and reset the count, even though i can still see them in the wordpress panel.
Did you run the repair and recalculation tools ? That should normally fix it if the import was successful.
I did. In fact, after I ran about 6 of them, one after the other, working my way down, it kills the blog completely, throwing a server 500 error. I'd have to reset bbpress and start the import again.
For importing, did you try to do it in test on bbPress 2.6-alpha (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip) ?
Importing has improved a lot in that version.
Tried out bbPress 2.6-alpha. Still didnt work.
Now I'm getting 404 page errors from Google. Any help would greatly be appreciated!
I'm having the same problem, the source of which is because USER IDS aren't matching between each installation. When importing new users, a new user ID is generated for each account on the new installation, so BBpress is not able to recalculate properly since author ID numbers for forums, topics, and replied do not match. It would be GREAT if BBpress had a recalculation method based on USER EMAIL instead of user ID. IDs change between installations but emails usually do not when transferring between wordpress installations. Very broken atm.


The weather is not cooperating with our Memorial Day weekend plans. Rain is in the forecast. That's okay because on our to-do list is updating the bathrooms. Picking out the color is the best part.
Aaron figured out a way to keep the roller ready for the second coat.
Look at this blue! It's going to feel like a tropical island getaway in here!
Aaron is also updating the lighting fixtures, the drawer pulls and going to retile the floor. Exciting!
re: Aaron putting foil on the roller - good idea! Another way to keep a roller/brush fresh without having to wash it if you're painting on a different day - wrap it up in a ziploc and freeze it! My mother was CONSTANTLY repainting rooms in our house, or working on some sort of project, and freezing the brush/roller in plastic was her go-to.
That is such a good idea! Thank you for sharing!
Neat and clean work! Relaxing washrooms! Everything has been top class at northern virginia additions! For all the people out there looking for a changeover for their homes, this is the site!
These are some great designs and loads of ideas but I am totally in love with this herndon kitchen remodel! Their service, their work everything has been amazing!
Smash!! Going to recommend it to everyone!! Incredible service and great staff support and gracefulness! You all should try fire restoration port st lucie atleast once! Recommended to everyone!
I know I'm late to this post, but is the color Jamaica Bay? Does the SW stand for Sherwin Williams? I LOVE the color you chose!

ARUA- The Deputy Secretary-General of NRM Hon Richard Todwong on Sunday evening moved a public apology to Mr Angupale Swadic and other candidates for the alleged mess during our party primaries.
Hon Todwong's apology came shortly after the moving speech by Angupale who complained of several irregularities during the electoral process but later pledged to fully support Nusura Tiperu (NRM flagbearer) in the ongoing general elections.
"We are excited by your decision and on behalf of the NRM Electoral Commission, I apologise for all what happened", said Todwong at a public rally held at Oli Divisional ground.
Angupale who finished second in a tight race of 8 people later said he had taken the party's apology in good faith and commended the secretariat for all the efforts done.
Angupale is currently the NRM chairperson of Arua Municipality and Guild President of IUIU Arua branch. He is also a former LCIII Chairperson of Oli Division.

What is the freezing point of water or the melting point of water? Are the freezing point and melting point the same? Are there any factors that affect the freezing point of water? Here's a look at the answers to these common questions.
The freezing point or melting point of water is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid or vice versa.
The freezing point describes the liquid to solid transition while the melting point is the temperature at which water goes from a solid (ice) to liquid water. In theory, the two temperatures would be the same, but liquids can be supercooled beyond their freezing points so that they don't solidify until well below freezing point. Ordinarily, the freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur. Under certain conditions, water may remain a liquid as cold as -40 to -42°F!
How can water remain a liquid so far below its usual freezing point? The answer is that water needs a seed crystal or other small particle (nucleus) on which to form crystals. While dust or impurities normally offer a nucleus, very pure water won't crystallize until the structure of liquid water molecules approaches that of solid ice.

The Cyprus Police Museum is a museum in Cyprus, dedicated to the history of law enforcement in the country. It is owned by the Cyprus Police and managed by Department A' of the Police Headquarters.

The Police Museum is open to the public from Monday to Friday between 0900-1300 and does not charge admission.

History
The Cyprus Police Museum was founded in 1933 during the British Colonial Period (1878–1959). The then British Chief of Police of the colonial government, W.C.C. King sent a circular to all Divisional Police Headquarters announcing the founding of the Police Museum, then known as the Criminal Museum, requesting that all responsible officers of the Criminal Investigation Departments (C.I.D.) of each district send any unusual criminal samples, samples relating to serious cases or interesting items that are suitable for exhibit at the museum, to the Police Headquarters.

Initially the Police Museum was housed at the Criminal Investigation Department at the Police Headquarters. In 1951 it was moved to the then Police Training School in Strovolos and was moved again in 1975 to the Police Premises in Athalassa near the Police Headquarters. Since December 2004 it functions in a house built during the British Colonial Period which was used as a police residence for several decades. In 2003 the house was specially transformed and enlarged to meet the needs of the museum after a directive by the then Chief of Police Mr. Tasos Panayiotou so that it could house a richer collection of exhibits regarding the functioning of the police as well as displays of wider historic interest that could be visited by the public.

From the time it opened until 2003 the Police Museum was visited exclusively by students of the then Police Training School and more recently the Police Academy as part of their training. Now it is open to the public without charging admission.

Exhibits

Police related
A substantial part of the Museum is dedicated to the history of the Cyprus Police, with exhibits dating back to the early years of the British period up to the present times. The visitor can view police arms, uniforms and other police equipment, along with police vehicles, musical instruments of the Police Band, records and documents.

Crime related
A section on shocking crimes and notorious criminals exists in the Museum where it houses, amongst others, weapons, photographs, and various other items from serious crimes of the past, that shook the society of Cyprus, as well as items and records regarding notorious outlaws.

Moreover, the visitor can discover interesting aspects concerning the development and the detection of crime in Cyprus throughout the decades.

Modern History of Cyprus
Apart from the purely police-related and crime-related exhibits, the Museum also houses some very interesting items and documents from important periods of the modern history of Cyprus, including the 1955 - 1959 anti-colonial Struggle and World War II.

Unfortunately the legal process is too expensive, complicated, time-consuming, byzantine, and too often does not produce satisfactory results, even for the "winning" parties after trial. Mediation and arbitration is a much more direct and cost-effective way to resolve disputes and results in higher satisfaction rates for the participants.
Nate Sterling has a master's degree (M.A.) in Conflict Resolution from CSU Dominguez Hills, a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from UOP McGeorge School of Law, and a baccalaureate (B.A.) degree in Psychology from CSU Sacramento. Nate Sterling successfully completed hundreds of hours of trainings in mediations, arbitrations and dispute resolutions. Nate has been an attorney and mediator in Sacramento since 2001.
Nate has a breadth of experience since 2001 in many areas of the law including: contracts, personal injuries, real estate, business litigation, wills and trusts, employment law, tort law, and alternative dispute resolution.
Nate has developed conflict resolution models and has successfully mediated and arbitrated small and large disputes, from individual to business disputes. Nate also has experience with and provides pre-litigation evaluations and settlement negotiations for clients. Nate has also successfully litigated hundreds of cases, some through judge or jury trial.

Nate Sterling successfully completed hundreds or thousands of hours of trainings and on-the-job experience in mediations and dispute resolutions.
My approach to mediation is primarily facilitative, and also can be evaluative as appropriate. My approach tends to be eclectic with a focus on what is practical and what works best with the particular mediation participants under the unique circumstances of each mediation.
Nate Sterling charges $200 per hour with a four hour minimum. The usual two party case results in each participant paying $100 per hour (as fees are customarily split equally between participants). Deposits adequate to cover anticipated fees and expenses are required in advance. Deposit for four hours is $800 and is generally split equally between the participants. I will travel to conduct mediations in the local area, though mediations are generally held at my office in Sacramento (suburb of Fair Oaks). Cases in San Francisco Bay Area are mediated or arbitrated and require an 8 hour minimum mediation and 8 hour deposit ($1,600) paid in advance, which covers 6 hours of mediation. Most payment forms accepted: credit cards, checks, cash, cashier's checks, paypal, direct bank transfers (Zelle), and mobile phone payments through vendors such as Venmo.
Moderate proficiency in Spanish if needed.

IBEW Canadian Women's Conference 2019.
International Vice President, First District (Canada), IBEW
Cheryl Paron
International Representative, First District (Canada), IBEW
IBEW Canada is embracing and encouraging diversity in its membership and leadership through its latest initiative, IBEW Strong.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Canada is made up of 70,000 members from coast to coast, in every province and territory. It represents members in all sectors of the electrical industry, including utilities, manufacturing, construction, telecommunications, radio and television, shipyards, railroads, pulp and paper mills, mining, health care, and government. The electrical industry is broad, and so are its employees. Accordingly, IBEW Canada welcomes, supports, and encourages diversity in its membership and leadership. The union is stronger than ever as a result of its efforts to organize and include all workers, regardless of identity differences. IBEW Strong is the union's latest diversity and inclusion initiative, developed by its standing Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
Diversity and inclusion in the trades
The IBEW recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion work, and IBEW Strong represents its commitment to doing this work on both sides of the border. Beyond the heaps of research showing the strong business case for having a diverse workforce — from increased revenue to greater innovation, increased productivity, and more — the IBEW wants to make sure that all workers feel welcomed and accepted.
"We've long worked to make IBEW membership more accessible, and the IBEW Strong initiative will help us do that even more," says Thomas Reid, IBEW's International Vice President — First District (Canada). "As our nation grows in diversity, we have to reflect that change. IBEW membership offers a path to a better life for members and their families, and that's especially vital in areas where the population has been historically marginalized."
Becky Lupton, Local 213
Attracting and retaining women in the union
IBEW Canada is working to expand its membership through recruitment efforts targeted at young people and non-traditional, historically-marginalized communities, including women and Indigenous peoples. "We're looking at how we've traditionally brought members into the IBEW and seeing if there are any barriers that are preventing equity-seeking groups, specifically women, from entering our ranks," says Cheryl Paron, an International Representative at IBEW Canada who oversees the union's diversity and inclusion initiatives across the country. IBEW Canada also focuses on education and training its members on the importance of inclusion, providing inclusive opportunities for its members to learn and develop leadership skills, and replicating best practices amongst its many local unions.
"We know we still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we're committed to removing barriers and increasing female representation," says Paron. "The strength of the IBEW lies in its membership and that strength only continues to grow if we support all of our members."
"When I first met with Cheryl when she started on staff, I told her I didn't want us to just be part of the women in trades movement, I want us to own it," adds Reid. "I want the IBEW to be the leader."
Exciting opportunities for women
The electrical industry offers tremendous career opportunities for women. Its well-paying careers allow women to achieve financial independence, and women can also benefit from the continuing education opportunities provided by IBEW Canada.
The industry also offers rewarding skilled jobs and supportive lifelong training that provide its members with pride and satisfaction with the work they perform. "You can build something with your hands, so you very much see the success of your work, which can be very attractive to people," says Paron. "You can see the value of the work that you did."
Additionally, IBEW Canada provides programming specifically for women including Local Union Women's Committees, education and training, and biannual Canadian and International Women's Conferences.
IBEW Canada is working hard to improve the culture of the trades and to make them a welcoming environment for women and underrepresented workers. With their many benefits and the lifelong opportunities for growth, the trades offer exciting career paths that more women should consider.

Longford will endure strong wind conditions as Storm Erik hits Ireland this Friday.
Met Éireann has issued a nationwide wind alert, with stronger winds expected to hit Galway, Mayo and Donegal where there will be 'Status Orange' weather conditions.
Status Orange: for Donegal, Galway & Mayo.
Elsewhere around the country, there is a Status Yellow wind warning, and will come into effect at 5am on Friday and conclude at 6am on Saturday.
"Southwest to west winds will reach mean speeds of 50 to 65 km/h with gusts of 80 to 110 km/h. Along exposed Atlantic coasts these values may be exceeded for a while and with very high seas this will give the risk of coastal flooding," Met Eireann stated this Thursday.
