Clippers' Blake Griffin takes blame for Game 2 loss
The Clippers' Blake Griffin, shooting over the Spurs' Duncan in the first half, took the blame for his team's overtime defeat in Game 2 on Wednesday.
By Janis Carr | Orange County Register
LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin took the blame for the Clippers' 111-107 loss to San Antonio in Game 2 of their playoff series Wednesday.
"That game is pretty much 100 percent on me," Griffin said after his turnover while trying a between-the-legs dribble cost the Clippers a chance to take a 2-0 lead in the first-round series.
Actually, there was enough culpability to go around. Griffin's mistake was just one of 12 turnovers that led to 14 points for the Spurs. The Clippers missed 17 of 37 free throws, a rough spot compounded by the Spurs using the Hack-a-Jordan strategy against DeAndre Jordan, who was 6 of 17.
Then there was the Clippers' bench. Jamal Crawford scored 11 points, but the rest of the bench was largely ineffective. The other four reserves who played produced six points, two rebounds and little else.
J.J. Redick made 4 of 9 3-pointers, but missed a crucial long-range shot in overtime that could have tied the score and helped send the Clippers on to San Antonio for Games 3 and 4 with their heads held high.
Instead, they find themselves tied in the best-of-7 series with the defending NBA champions, a team that knows how to navigate the postseason.
"I don't know if we played our best game tonight," Coach Doc Rivers said Wednesday. "I think that was pretty obvious, yet we still had a chance and you could say should have won the game, but we didn't. It tells me a lot of things.
"Number one, this is going to be a hell of a series and we'll be ready for Game 3."
The Clippers have shown they can win on the Spurs' home court. They most recently beat the Spurs at ATT Center on Jan. 31, 105-85.
"(Winning on the road) is different in the playoffs. But we have won there before and it is going to be the same recipe," Jordan said. "We have to come out aggressive, early, and not let them come out and jump on us like they did tonight."
Chris Paul said the Clippers need to be ready.
"It's (going to be) tough," Paul said. "We'll have to be poised. We won't have the crowd behind us like we did here, but we've shown the ability to win there. But their team is not going to beat themselves; you've got to go out there and beat them. We've got to come in ready for Game 3."
LEONARD NABS DEFENSIVE HONOR
If the Spurs needed further testament of their defensive prowess they got it Thursday when Kawhi Leonard was named Defensive Player of the Year. He beat out Golden State's Draymond Green and Clippers center DeAndre Jordan.
The Spurs held opponents to 97 points a game during the regular season. Leonard, considered the league's best one-on-one defender, contributed 148 steals and 48 blocked shots while averaging 7.2 rebounds.
The 23-year-old swingman became the first non-big man to win the award since Ron Artest in 2004, edging out Green despite receiving fewer first-place votes.
Green got 45 first-place votes selections, but finished with 317 total points. Leonard received 37 first-place votes, but totaled 333 overall points from second- and third-place votes.
Jordan finished with 32 first-place votes and 261 points.
PARKER TO PLAY
Tony Parker, who limped off the court Wednesday because of a sore right Achilles' tendon, is expected to play Friday.
The injury was similar to the one he suffered April 7 at Oklahoma City.
"Same thing, same thing," Parker told the San Antonio Express. "I think I put too much pressure on the right ankle because of the soreness in my left ankle."
Parker twisted his left ankle in Sunday's Game 1.

In a very beautiful sohbat, Mawlana asks who the human being is and how he can live up to his humanity. However, on the opposite side lies the darkness that is "All For Me!".
"So remember Me; I remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me (2:152) -فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ ". Those who forget Allah and leave His way, have no Adab. The worst sign of lack of Adab is forgetting your Creator. Mawlana reminds us of the saints who have the secret of "Be and it is".
Mawlana recites the Ayat, "الصلح خير - Making peace is better (4:128)". But with the choice Man makes to be the ride of the devil, how can man find peace with others or within himself?
Mawlana tells us about that source of power given to Muslims that is never-ending and can face and overcome any material power. The Muslims were given the key but the devil made them forget. We have forgotten about our "Never-Ending Battery. When Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as) comes he will unveil and display this power to the full.
There are two kinds of Men, "The Servant of the Sultan" and the animal of Shaytan. Mawlana points to these two kinds and urges everyone of us to consider which of the two we are and which we would like to be.
Today after Fajr Mawlana gave a sohbat stressing the importance of cleanliness. It is a condition and a sign of Islam and also of belief (Iman). In support of this Mawlana recited the Hadith, "Cleanliness is from Iman". By means of the well-known story of the fox and the snake Mawlana then clearly demonstrates that cleanliness has also to be manifest in one's actions.
Without learning about and achieving the true purpose of living, the human being can never realize his humanity. Without this all that remains of the man is the ape, no matter how much makeup or fancy clothes he or she puts on. Therefore Mawlana speaks on the Hadith, "Religion Is Good Advice".
After Fajr Mawlana addressed Shaykh Muhammad Effendi. He spoke about the value of the Shukr and of Adab. Mawlana recited a duaa that he asked Shaykh Muhammad to teach to the people. Finally Mawlana spoke about the Divine invitation, every Friday, to "Haziratu l-Quds".
Addressing Shaykh Muhammad Effendi, Mawlana criticizes modern educational systems for not teaching the young generations the true purpose of their being in this world. That is why, despite all the opportunities they might have, they remain empty handed. They are like the blind beggar in the story who calls on the sultan - "Ya Mahmud" - as opposed to his friend who calls on the Lord Almighty, the Only One Who can be truly worshiped - "Ya Ma'bud".
In a sohbat that looks back at history and is charged with political dismay, Mawlana shows the irony of modern man. In his refusal to use Bismillah, man is like "The Arrogant Little Ant" trying to tease Sayyidina Sulayman (as).
In this sohbat Mawlana speaks about "Those Who Have High Himmat". Himmat is the ability to concentrate or focus your spiritual power towards achieving a high goal and persisting with it.
While drinking tea with Shaykh Mehmet Effendi, Mawlana recalls some of the stories of the old-time Imams and mosques of Cyprus. Then Mawlana retells a funny story that one Imam had told him long time ago that illustrates the true meaning of "Greatness" and how the different natures of people affect their understanding and communication.
Faith and Adab are the guarantee for human qualities. In their absence people eat each other and thus are "Worse Than Dogs"!
In the very important sohbat "Edeb Ya Hu" Mawlana spoke to Shaykh Muhammad Effendi after Fajr instructing him to teach the people adab. Good Adab is the path to knowledge, Nur and nearness to Allah.
Mawlana has opened his heart and his house to all the relatives and murids who, escaping the fires of Sham, have sought refuge under his wing. To them Mawlana explained that the raging fire that is now ravaging Sham had its beginning in the dry wood of the past heedlessness of its people.

Cryptocurrencies are stockpiling these altcoins for the year 2023 – find out why
Adobe Stock/Andrea Izzotti
Despite the influence of several macroeconomic factors and the fear caused by the collapse of the FTX platform, the cryptocurrency market has remained relatively unperturbed lately, with the bitcoins which evolves between 16,000 and 18,000 dollars.
But as the market goes through a consolidation phase, the whales are hoarding more cryptocurrencies in anticipation of the next bull run. In this regard, a recent report from Blockware Media points out:
Quiet times don't last forever for Bitcoin, so get ready for some big moves in the near future.
Even if the next move of the crypto market, up or down, largely depends on macroeconomic factors, the whales are already aware that it is important to prepare for one of these two eventualities by investing in promising projects at a reduced price. This is before they end up on the markets available to individual investors and small portfolios.
However, here is a selection of some crypto projects with solid fundamentals that whales appear to be piling up in anticipation of an explosive year 2023 for the entire industry. The selected projects are currently in the presale phase and have shown particularly interesting signs of growth, namely FGHT, D2T, CCHG, RIA and TARO.
Combat (FGHT)
Recently, Move-to-Earn (M2E) apps have captured the interest of the public and FightOut is no exception. Over the past few weeks, this crypto project, which will partner with gyms around the world, has managed to raise over $1 million from private investors. And with the start of its sale to the public, FightOut continues to grow in popularity.
As far as M2E applications are concerned, FightOut is positioned as the future leader of the category. Using its innovative technology, users will be able to measure all of their fitness activity, not just their number of steps. Plus, unlike other Move-to-Earn apps, you won't have to buy expensive NFTs to participate.
Positive lifestyle choices are rewarded, not just walking around all the time. With all the features present in this application, FightOut promises to be the tool of choice for amateur and professional athletes, especially those training in boxing and MMA.
With FighOut, your training goals come to life through an avatar with stats like strength and heart health. With this avatar you enter a metaverse and a community where fitness is the engine of your progress. The more achievements you complete in real life, the higher your avatar's stats will be.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, FightOut will launch its first gym. This space will include a health bar, studio, and even a co-working area. To draw attention to their brand, they have established an ambassador program that invites the big names in professional boxing and other top-level athletes to host events such as masterclasses.
FightOut has the necessary characteristics and potential to dominate the M2E market in the coming years, and there is already huge buzz for its token, as the project has already managed to raise over $2.5 million in just a few weeks since its launch.

Dash 2 Trade (D2T)
Dash 2 Trade aims to help traders make investments on the best possible terms. Thanks to this platform, cryptocurrency investors have access to technical indicators and an alert system for upcoming projects, as well as detailed reports on the current market sentiment. The previously mentioned elements are the key to a successful trading strategy.
Additionally, users can take advantage of the new token scoring system and different tools to test their trading strategies before executing them in real-time. It will also be possible to use automatic trading strategies by connecting directly to the APIs of the exchange platforms.
Following the collapse of FTX that has rocked the entire crypto ecosystem, more and more individuals are making decisions to best protect themselves from scams. Dash 2 Trade aims to become one of the solutions to this problem and the project management team decided to shorten the pre-sale period and bring forward the platform launch in response to this. Initially, the pre-sale was supposed to cover 9 phases with 665 million tokens available for sale, now the Dash 2 Trade presale is divided into 4 phases with only 262.5 million tokens. This is a strong signal that shows their willingness to protect investors.
The Dash 2 Trade platform runs on its native token, D2T, especially when it comes to the monthly subscription. This mechanism ensures a high demand for the token in the future. As of the date of writing, the presale has generated $11.42 million and most of the tokens available for sale have been sold.

C+Load (CCGH)
C+Charge is a particularly interesting example of how blockchain technology can be used to create solutions to real-world problems. With its peer-to-peer payment system and smart contracts, C+Charge allows EV owners to easily find charging stations and pay directly from their crypto wallet without having to worry about the additional costs or time typically associated with systems traditional payment methods.
Additionally, C+Charge's reward system helps encourage more people to switch to EVs, reducing the automotive industry's environmental impact and making EV charging easier and cheaper over time.
C+Charge solves the following EV charging problems:
1. High fees: C+Charge eliminates the additional fees associated with traditional payment systems and helps users find cheaper top-up options.
2. Irregular availability: thanks to its database, C+Charge makes it easier for electric vehicle owners to locate available stations in their area.
3. Lack of transparency: C+Charge offers an open and transparent platform where users can see all necessary information about charging stations and their prices in real time.
4. Incorrect security: The platform is secured by the blockchain, which allows transactions to be carried out in a controlled computer environment for the maximum comfort of the users.
5. Lack of real-time information: C+Charge offers real-time updates on the status of charging stations, so users are sure they have the most accurate information possible.
By creating innovative solutions to problems that exist in the electric vehicle charging industry, C+Charge shows how blockchain technology can be used to improve the world, both environmentally and for user comfort. As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, C+Charge positions itself as a major player in this sector.
This is a good time to participate in the C+Charge presale and buy the tokens before their next price increase, which will drop to $0.013 very soon. Note that the final price of the tokens in the last phase of the pre-sale will be $0.02350.

Do you struggle with what to wear for your photo sessions? I mean don't we all? Even I do and I know what I am doing - haha! I think the reason it stresses us out is simply there are too many options, but really you need to stick with the colors you love and the styles you already love and just make it fun! Then there are some people who just do not know where to start, what stores to shop and or what is in style. I have been pinning to my family session pinterest board now for months and I share it with all my clients to get a clear picture of what I am hoping for and to give them a starting point of inspiration.
Family session wardrobe inspiration! Heck yeah!

Recuva works by looking for unreferenced data, but if the operating system has written new data over a deleted file then recovery will often not be possible.


In June, I shot Joe and Sam's sixties inspired Liverpool wedding. I knew from my first point of contact with Sam that we had a special connection and that their day would be wonderful. It did not disappoint. Sam and Joe's day was family focused, fuss free and beautiful. It was huge a pleasure to photograph such a beautiful relationship and i'm so grateful to Joe and Sam for putting their trust in me. I left with a full heart, a full belly and shoes full of sand! I'll hand you over to Sam to talk you through their planning process.
We both knew from the beginning that we wanted a more informal day, done in our own style and as such we spent hours looking online for a venue we could put our own stamp on. We were planning to do all the decor ourselves and needed somewhere that was a blank canvas where we could set up the day before and bring our own drinks for the toasts.
I'd read a lot of wedding blogs featuring Village Hall weddings and this really matched well with our idea of a fun, relaxed day. We trawled the internet for Village Halls in the area and it was quite sad to see very few remain! I was so excited when I found Ince Blundell Village Hall, although Joe needed a little more convincing as all we had to go by was the Google Maps picture! We took the plunge and booked for our date having not seen the venue and went along to the monthly Car Boot Sale to get a proper look round! Thankfully, the space was great with a big open hall and loads of outdoor space. The volunteers at the hall are brilliant, they organised a really well stocked bar for the rest of the day and I really couldn't recommend the space enough.
When it came to choosing the location for the ceremony, we both wanted a non-religious civil ceremony and we booked Waterloo Registry Office in Crosby Town Hall as it is local to my parents' house and I was hoping my Grandad would be able to make it for the service. (Eventually he decided not to come along but Laura came along to his house with me before we left for the Registry and we got some really lovely photos together). Again, a running theme, we booked the ceremony without having seen it beforehand but we were both really pleased as the Mayor's Parlour is a lovely space big enough to seat 80 but the layout means everybody was sat within a close proximity to us as we exchanged our vows.
I had come across my dress (the B52 by Fur Coat No Knickers) quite by accident on one of my Pinterest sessions a couple of years ago. I knew straight away that it was the dress for me with its 60s styling and unusual lace jacket- I was already imagining taking a day trip down to the shop to pick it out. At the end of last year, I just happened to search for their website and I was upset to find out the company had sadly closed not long ago. Around the time we went shopping for my engagement ring in January, I was overjoyed to find the exact dress on eBay, unworn and just one size too big. I ended up buying it on the day we picked up my ring from being resized and it really felt like things were meant to be.
When looking round for my veil, I had a very clear idea in mind of what I wanted- I was looking for a short, vintage style veil to be worn at the back of the head. I had previously ordered one but the bright white colour just didn't work well with my ivory dress. I came across Me and My Girl Vintage on Etsy and sent the seller a message with a picture of my dress, explaining that I had struggled to find a colour match. I was so surprised when Emma who runs the shop got back in touch to say that she had been half of the duo running Fur Coat No Knickers and that she had actually designed the dress! Emma was able to make me a veil to match my dress perfectly and was so helpful in giving extra advice and care instructions for my dress, she really went above and beyond.
I had originally planned to have my two best and oldest friends as bridesmaids, but unfortunately one was already attending a family wedding abroad that weekend so couldn't make it. It didn't make sense to me to replace her for the sake of it, so I just had one bridesmaid.
I found my shoes in T K Maxx by chance and loved the peep toe shape with the bow at the front. They were Ted Baker and a gorgeous pale blue colour. I had originally imagined my bridesmaid to be in a mint green colour but as soon as I saw my shoes, I knew that the pale blue would look great. Over the next few months, my best friend Wij and I looked around for a pale blue dress to match and eventually I found a Ted Baker dress which we both really liked the look of. I had it delivered to Wij in Manchester and I was so pleased to hear that it fitted and more importantly that she loved it!
When it came to my wedding ring, I had pictured something quite slim but with a pattern or texture of some kind. I looked high and low for something suitable. Most of the rings I found were either too wide or way out of budget. Eventually, I came across Edenly and I was a little hesitant about ordering from abroad initially but the site had good reviews, the ring was a good price and had an unusual braided detail that I really liked. When it came to ordering, I mentioned to Joe that he should have a look in case they had any he liked (I had actually seen a simple gold band with a black stripe running through it that I thought would suit him). The next day, he sent me a text in work with a picture of the ring he had chosen- it was the same one I had seen, so it's good to see I know his taste by now!
I'd shown Joe pictures of 'naked' wedding cakes online and we both liked the simple, unfussy design. I'd planned to make this myself and rope in the help of a couple of willing volunteers but my mum came across the perfect cake from Marks and Spencer's made to order cakes and my Godmother offered to pay for this. In hindsight, I'm really glad we went for this in the end as we were so busy in the week leading up to the wedding that I don't think I'd have had time to think about making a cake!
On the Friday we were setting up, it was my intention to decorate the cake with some fruit and flowers. It got to around mid-afternoon and I was still working on trimming the flowers and putting them in vases so my dad took charge and started on decorating the cake. He did a great job and really found his creative side, everybody said how nice it looked on the day and I made sure he got the credit!
M&S was a great choice as we were also able to order a number of cutting bars (plus gluten free versions) to give out to the guests to take home with them. I bought plain kraft paper cake boxes on eBay and Joe spent a couple of nights stamping them with a stamp with our initials and the date (also bought on eBay!).
When it came to my flowers, I knew exactly what I didn't want- anything too 'structured' or traditional. I loved the meadow and wildflower type bouquets I'd seen on pinterest but also wanted larger flowers like peonies to add some contrast. I pinned lots of styles I liked and was originally planning on making these myself until Wij mentioned that her mum would be glad to make the flowers as she had recently retired and taken a floristry course. Somehow, Wij's mum was able to take my mish-mash of a pinterest board and turn this in to a perfect pair of bouquets, along with buttonholes for the men in the family. They were hand-delivered by Wij's boyfriend, Sam, on the day and I was so happy with how they turned out, I can't think Wij's mum enough for all her hard work.
From the offset I had pictured a room full of flowers, but nothing too fancy in terms of arrangement- I bought and collected jars and vases over the months leading up to the wedding and thought it would be easy enough to do this myself. I had heard about Liverpool Flower Market from Wij so we went along a couple of days before the wedding. The selection they had was great and the stall owner was really helpful. We bought what seemed like far too many flowers but once all the leaves and stems were trimmed, I was pleased to see we'd got it about spot on. We mixed peach and white carnations, daisies, stocks, snapdragons and lisianthus with blue delphiniums and hydrangeas then padded some of the vases out with gypsophila. We spread the vases down the length of each table and laid out green foliage along the top table. As we left the hall on the Friday night after setting everything up, the smell in the room was incredible!
We had a brilliant A Team of close family friends helping set up on Friday, as well as tidy up on the Sunday and as well as buying them a little thank you present to show our appreciation, I was really glad to be able to give them the bouquets from the day to take and enjoy at home.
Now for the easy part! We both agreed that the traditional, very posed photos just weren't for us. We wanted a few group shots with family but the most important thing to us was that we document the day to pick up on all the things we may have missed and get some photos together, just the two of us, that we can treasure forever. Late one night, I came across Laura's website and knew instantly that she was the photographer for us. Her style shone through in every photo I saw and I sent her a message straight away to check her availability (we planned the whole wedding in less than 6 months so I was so relieved to hear that Laura had a free slot available on our date!) I showed Joe in the morning and he agreed straight away that Laura was the right choice for us.
We were both so pleased on the day, Laura worked so hard yet we barely noticed her around, blending seamlessly in to the background to get some great candid shots of the guests. For our couple portraits in the afternoon, we went to the beach and the photos turned out phenomenally. We have received so many compliments on these and I can't wait to get some hung around the house. They make me smile whenever I look through them!
We were working to a budget for the day as we were both determined to not borrow or take on any debt. Our photos were one of our biggest investments but one we were both glad to make. We have such a gorgeous collection of images from the day and we're so grateful to Laura for all her hard work and her brilliant creativity.
Lastly, we also decided to go for a video too, made up of short 3 second clips from the day. This was by far one of the best decisions we made across the whole wedding. The video is just beautiful and picks up on so many little moments we'd both either missed or forgotten about in the excitement of the day. I would urge anybody considering a video to go for it, you won't regret it!
I came across Ukebox, a local Merseyside band, online- I can't even remember how I found them now but I loved them from the off! They just looked like such a lot of fun and I knew they would be great at getting everybody moving in the evening (even Joe and I!). Joe got in touch with the band and they were really helpful from the off. On the night, everybody had a whale of a time and even now, 2 months later, the guests are still telling me how great they were.
The band were another investment but again we were more than happy to go for this as the music and the photography were the most important elements for us and we knew the day just wouldn't have been the same without it. We saved money elsewhere by creating Spotify playlists to play throughout the day and the night time, after the band. Quite a few of the guests complimented us on the music choices and said they hadn't heard a bad song all day- high praise indeed!
I love crafts of any kind so had always planned on doing the venue decorations myself. I had pictured long, banquet style tables where everybody could sit and chat easily, without anybody feeling like they were hidden away in the corner of the room. I managed to track these down, along with lovely ivory Chiavari chairs and a 5ft high light up wooden 'LOVE' sign from a local company, Wirral Table and Chair Hire. I saw a picture on pinterest of the same chairs, with coloured ribbons tied to the back of them. I spent hours cutting the ribbons and seriously underestimated how long this would take but I was really pleased with how they turned out and think it was well worth the effort!
We had looked in to table linen hire but found this to be a little bit too expensive. I wasn't bothered about full length table cloths and started looking in to table runners. My mum found some lovely plain white ones from The Range that were an absolute bargain. She bought up all of the ones in the shop and I ordered the rest from their website. I bought lots of different styles of vases from T K Maxx and Hobbycraft and I was lucky enough to borrow a whole load of hand decorated jars from a friend of my Godmother that she had made for her own wedding. We filled these with remote controlled LED candles that were a great buy, they made things so easy!
We decorated the top table with foliage that we laid out along the length of the tables and put some battery-powered fairy lights in amongst them. I bought hessian and lace cutlery holders to mark everyone's place setting, along with a piece of 'Mr & Mrs' strawberry rock. For favours, we bought pin badges from Cancer Research and made a donation on everyone's behalf, along with brass bottle openers in the shape of old fashioned keys, which I tied with a hand-stamped label with everybody's names on them.
We laid out bottles of water and wine to accompany the afternoon tea and had a pick & mix station which went down really well with the children (and the big kids too). The stand was another thing we were lucky to borrow and looked really great on the day.
We bought an Instax Mini camera, loads of film and a plain guest book for everyone to fill with photos and messages for us. Our Best Man's girlfriend, Christy, took charge of the camera and made sure we had photos of everyone. She was great at making sure everyone left us a note alongside their pictures- the guest book is great and something we'll look back on in for years to come.
When you were planning, what were the most important things that you wanted for your wedding?
Neither of us like a lot of fuss, the thought of being the centre of attention for a whole day was a little overwhelming so we knew we didn't want anything too grand or extravagant. We wanted an informal, relaxed day where both us and our guests could enjoy themselves and didn't want to have to worry about any small details (I'm notoriously laidback so the thought of stressing over a seating chart just isn't me at all). Our biggest difficulty was probably finding the right venue as sadly there aren't many spaces to choose from that will let you arrange your own catering and bring in your own drinks for the toasts. Once we had the hall booked, everything else seemed to fall in to place quite nicely.
The main priorities for us were an excellent photographer, great evening entertainment and a hog roast for Joe! We found Laura and knew we didn't have to worry about the photos, we both knew we'd have a great selection to choose from and we weren't disappointed. Ukebox were incredible and everybody had a ball dancing to them. I think we achieved our goal of a fun, relaxed day quite well- I know we certainly enjoyed ourselves!
Is there anything that you wished you had done differently?
I think my main regret for the day was that we didn't bring a back-up speaker at first. We had tested the speaker system in the hall on the Friday when we were setting up and everything had worked perfectly. Of course, in typical fashion, the connection was faulty on the day which meant the music kept fading in and out whilst we had our afternoon tea. My dad had to go home in the afternoon to pick up my brother's amp which thankfully solved the problem but it had meant a lot of to-ing and fro-ing to the iPod for Joe whilst he was trying to eat his food. This was an unforeseen problem of course and certainly didn't spoil the day in any way but it would have been nice if Joe could have eaten his lunch in one sitting!
Otherwise, I think things turned out pretty much exactly as we had hoped. There were probably some other elements we might have added in, had funds been unlimited, but I honestly don't regret setting the date for 6 months' time (as opposed to waiting longer and saving up). I think the lack of time to plan made us more efficient in making decisions and didn't leave much time for changing our mind- something I probably would have been guilty of had we had longer to think about things!
My favourite part of the day was at the very end of the night, most of the guests had already left, leaving just my oldest family friends and mine and Joe's closest friends. It was a chance to stop for a moment and take everything in and just appreciate how much everybody had helped us in the preparation and setup.
Can you offer any advice to couples in the planning process?
My number one tip would be to stick to your guns- some people I spoke to were a bit surprised when I mentioned the Village Hall, with it not being a traditional choice as such, but I was determined to have somewhere I could decorate in our own style and somewhere we could relax and take things at our own pace and it really paid off in the end.
Also, my other comment would be to shop around- you don't have to go direct to a specialised wedding supplier for everything. Most of my decorations came from eBay and Ali Express and if you're willing to put in a bit of extra work in terms of setup, you can save a lot of money this way. If you're not 100% sold on the traditional wedding styles, go for it and put your own spin on things- it's your day and what matters is that the two of you are happy with the outcome.

Covid-19 has hit charities particularly hard. Demand for their services has increased significantly but far less money is coming in from donations, leaving the sector struggling to provide vital support.
Giving now could not be more important, and the government will boost your gift with full income tax relief. For every £1 donated by a UK taxpayer claiming Gift Aid, a registered charity can claim a further 25p. For example, a £1,000 gift is topped up to £1,250 by HMRC.
HELP FOR YOU TOO
A 40% taxpayer can reclaim 25p per £1 gifted. In the above scenario, this means that the £1,250 donation would only cost you £750, and an additional rate taxpayer (45%) can claim back a further £62.50.
RECLAIM YOUR PERSONAL ALLOWANCE
Those earning over £100,000 start to lose their personal allowance and it is fully lost at £125,000. Gift Aid has the effect of extending the £100,000 threshold, with the personal allowance restored by £1 for every £2 donated. At an effective tax relief of 60%, a £1,250 gift could only cost £500. The charity claims the basic rate Gift Aid directly from HMRC. You will need to claim your relief via self-assessment.
Your Gift Aid declaration states that you will have paid enough tax during the year to cover the 20% tax that the charity claims from HMRC. If you haven't, you will need to pay it.

I am afraid of needles. I can hardly even be near them. So when one of my fellow yoga instructors suggested I try acupuncture, because of its myriad of fitness-related benefits, I was ready to crumble in anxiety and fear. But after a bit of research, I realized there are tons of benefits associated with acupuncture, especially when it comes to a fitness lifestyle.
Vey common conditions acupuncture help are vast.
While there's a lot to gain from trying out acupuncture, it's important to remember not to squeeze in a sweat sesh your treatment. Even though you might experience a burst of energy after getting acupuncture (one of the endurance-related benefits), it's essential to let your body rest and not act on that initial boost.
However, after taking some time to relax, you'll be able to hit the weight room and reap all the many advantages of this ancient treatment.
Do not dislike needles – Here are five ways acupuncture will compliment your workouts.
And for all you needle haters out there: If I can do it, you can do it, too.
The next time you're tempted to pop an Advil to ease muscle fatigue, remember that acupuncture really gets to the root of the pain, while NSAIDs simply act as more of a band-aid.
The needles that are inserted into your body during the treatment create a very small injury, which your body quickly heals.Then, your body begins toheal all of the potentially inflamed surrounding tissues,including muscles, nerves, skin, fascia, and connective tissues.
So, if you're suffering froman injury after going too hard during your HIIT circuit? Acupuncture can help by regulating nerve conduction in the inflamed area and speeding up your healing process.
Sports injuires helped with modern acuouncture.
While you're letting some stranger stick you with needles, know that it's doing awesome things for your bod.Acupuncture pricks create an increase of nitric oxide in your body, thus causing blood vessels to relax and arteries to open.
After the treatment, you'll have more blood flowing to your heart and vital organs, as well as better circulation overall.
You already know that that investing in some acupuncturewill help with healing muscle damage, but get this: It also exercise injuries,too. And you know there's nothing that halts your gym grind more than a pesky pulled muscle.
Investing in acupuncture will prevent injuries by creating aneurological and cardiovascular balance, which supportsa natural homeostasis in your body.
Though you shouldn't exercise immediately after acupuncture, after resting up a bit, you'll continue to feel the energy and endurance from the treatmentas you grind through your sweat sesh.
The holistic treatment regulatesyour nervous system, which helps to improve overall endurance.
So, you know, you can slay even during SoulCycle.
Pre-workout acupuncture is a no-no, but a post-workout treatment might just be the restful recovery your body craves.
Scheduling regulartreatments in between workouts(or after a race, for all you runners out there) minimizes muscle fatigue and pain, and lets your muscles recover at lightning speed.
Acupuncture can also allow you to sleep deeper and more restfully, which lets muscle tissues rebuild in a more effective way.

American Cities: Safe or Unsafe, and Are We More Than a List?
February 26, 2013 by Phil Butler
The Congressional Quarterly (CQ) has announced the safest and most dangerous cities in America in which to live. According to the latest FBI figures from their Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) 2011 data, released Fall 2012. According to the data (PDF) El Paso, Texas is the safest big town, and Detroit tops the list of "least" safe places to live. But there's more to this story than a simple list of good and bad cities. These are, after all, American cities. Please read until the end.
El Paso via the city's Facebook
The Texas Tribune highlights El Paso's third straight win atop the list of safest cities. Surprising, or not, the border town has the best numbers across many categories. While suggestions that the illegal immigration role of the government there have put a damper on overall crime, the number still bear scrutiny. U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, offered this comment via the Tribune:
"The fact is, the border has never been more secure — whether measured in the $18 billion spent annually on border security, the 22,000 boots on the ground, the record number of criminal deportations in the past four years, or the record-low immigrant apprehensions this past year. I agree with the Secretary and President Obama that we cannot allow comprehensive immigration reform to be derailed by those that refuse to see the reality of the border."
Coming in just behind El Paso in the "safest category" are; San Diego, CA; New York, NY; Austin, TX; and San Jose, CA.
Detroit is trying very hard – Angels Night courtesy Mayor Bing Facebook
Not So Safe Cities
At times like these there's no room for diplomacy. Detroit, in many ways, lives up to Forbes' title of 2013's Most Miserable American Cities. Topping the FBI's list of least peaceful places is one thing, but the median home price tanking to below $40,000 pretty much labels the Motor City a soon to be ghost town. Mass migrations away from Detroit amplify Mayor Dave Bing's outcry with regard to his town's going absolutely bankrupt and being taken over by Michigan altogether:
"We are hindered by several factors, including the City Charter, labor agreements, litigation, governmental structure, and a scarcity of financial and human resources. Further exploration of ways to mitigate these barriers for more timely implementation of my initiatives should be examined."
Bing, an NBA legend and perennial Detroit Pistons winner, told the Detroit Free Press like it is there in Motown. However honest Bing is, and regardless of the Michigan State House's view, one of America's greatest towns is a living horror. Violent crime there is perpetrated on one in every 100 people basically. What's happening to Detroit is horrendous, and so many there are trying so hard to avoid what looks like the inevitable. On a personal level, watching the video reports about Detroit are reminiscent of the Fall of the Roman Empire. Astonishing how American industry has sunken.
What makes you a Detroiter? – Courtesy Mayor Bing's Facebook
Listed right behind Detroit in terms of danger to citizens were; Baltimore, MD ; Memphis, TN; Philadelphia, PA; and the capital in Washington, DC.
Wait A Minute! This is America!
Of course the CQ and FBI websites and documents caution against making broad sweeping assertions over these figures. And there is some controversy going on in the bi-partisan halls of power where evaluating the metrics are concerned, but ending up on either list certainly has advantages and disadvantages. For one, being mentioned in the positive is simply a good thing, while being named as any sort of "miserable place" cannot be viewed as good. Just how real is the reality of safe or unsafe cities? Like any other news we are dependent on official reports too. Given the number of so called "boots on the ground" in El Paso and other border cities, there's room for question.
This image actually took some "Googling" to get. For "American" searches lead to American Airlines interestingly. How sad, we cannot even be indexed as a people. Courtesy – The Inspiration Room
Finally, as a reporter of news finding still more evidence of a shattered American industrial age, it behooves anyone reading this to study Detroit in particular. Mayor Dave Bing has essentially taken on the impossible there. Without massive help on the national and local levels, an era in American history is not the only thing passing before our eyes. Competition from overseas, an abandonment of national goals, many political and philosophical issues have sent America down a path that is unparalleled in human history actually. Detroit is, in a nutshell, symbolic of America's greater decline. Let us know your thoughts.

How a fresh mindset can speed up 5G development
Previous Article Spectrum and regulatory policy in the Race for 5G
Next Article Huawei 5G data infrastructure advancing the digital economy
By An Jian, president of Carrier Networks Business Group, Huawei Middle East
More robust policymaking and cross-sector, cross-border collaboration will help make 5G a reality - yet there is still work to be done.
As we near the end of 2019, it's an appropriate time to both reflect on the extraordinary advancements of the last decade, while also looking to what lays ahead in 2020 and beyond.
One of the most remarkable transformations of this entire decade was the launch of 4G mobile broadband followed by the even faster rollout of 5G connectivity. It is hard to overestimate the significance of this extraordinary technology transformation - for our global society and our local economies. Even more astounding is the pace at which this connected infrastructure is advancing today.
For example, in less than one year after standards were frozen for 5G, these networks have already seen commercial deployment in the Middle East and abroad. This cycle was much faster than in the 4G era. We predict more than 60 5G-enabled networks will be launched by the end of the year. Moreover, in our Global Industry Vision (GIV) report, we take a long-term prediction that nearly 60% of the world's population will have access to 5G by the end of 2025.
One of the definitive drivers of this 5G era is the supercharging of the user experience. This includes new services like 5G-powered cloud AR and cloud VR, live 360º HD sports broadcasting, telemedicine, the introduction of remote control and so much more. From entertainment to manufacturing, 5G applications are already here. As a result, in some markets we have seen user data consumption among early 5G adopters increasing by a factor of three.
However, 5G is not just faster 4G. 5G is a revolutionary technology, and we need to think about it in a different way. It plays a completely different role in our lives. As a result, those of us in the ICT industry need to have a fresh mindset to drive its future development.
At the heart of this mindset is an acknowledgment that we've made great progress on 5G. Yet, there is still more work to be done to make the most of 5G's enormous potential. There are still real challenges that lie ahead in terms of spectrum, site resources and cross-sector collaboration.
With regard to spectrum resources, there is still the barrier of cost and availability. It is thus essential that governments can provide more spectrum to telecom service providers and consider more flexible pricing models for that use. This will reduce the CAPEX burden on carriers as they roll out their 5G networks. Saudi Arabia is a good example. The government has cut the spectrum cost drastically. In return, they raised requirements for telecom service providers in terms of user experience and coverage. It's a win-win situation.
In terms of 5G site deployment, there are still lots of difficulties in limited footprint or load and high OPEX. An advanced sites solution which has lean space and better performance - such as massive MIMO, 3D beamforming and so on - will enable rapid 5G deployment and guarantee the best coverage and capacity, consequently protecting telecom operators' investments.
Equally as important as spectrum and site resources is cross-sector collaboration. We must remember that, in addition to people and households, 5G will support applications for industry. We are pleased to see that, through fruitful explorations, 5G-enabled services such as 2B dedicated access, virtual campus network and CCTV backhaul are already launched in Middle East. Meanwhile, we still have some challenges in terms of vertical industry knowledge, use cases and business case development. 3GPP Release 16 will be completed at the end of Q2 next year. With this standard, we can solve these challenges through more active cross-sector innovation, then deliver better experience and performance to the vertical industry.
Lastly, this requires a new kind of joint-innovation model. That means collaboration between upstream and downstream partners, incubating best practices in industry applications and promoting the sustainable development of 5G-enabled services. By introducing such concepts in the Middle East, we can provide all kinds of organizations with a real 5G network environment in which they can innovate and verify new applications. Through new alliances and labs dedicated to this cooperation, we can ultimately create more reliable, predictable environments for 5G industry applications to grow.

Cannabissearch.com Buzz Rating: The potency of this strain is relatively low, compared to other strains, however the flavor is out of this world.
Cheese Tease isn't the most potent of strains, however it does have flavors that are hardly rivaled. Deep and robust flavors of skunk, cheddar cheese and Kush are present, with a fruity aftertaste that lingers on the tongue for a while. The buds are large, silvery and have long pink pistils. Cheese Tease gives off an aroma very similar to the Skunk #1 male from which she was created.
Look for these ladies to flower for anywhere from 9 to 11 weeks. It's recommended to vegetate them around 4 to 6 weeks, since they will remain a manageable height, even at the finish of flowering. Like the Skunk #1 male that was used in this breeding, Cheese Tease provides growers with a heavy yield of moderately potent bud. These ladies make excellent mother plants, capable of pumping out tons of clones. Grab some clones or seeds today to see for yourself.
Cheese Tease 0 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 0 user reviews.


Seeing as I'm waiting an absolute AGE for my NHS appointments, I thought it was time (should've started waaaay earlier) for me to try and find things to help myself.
I'm not feeling great at the minute. I'm not sleeping much and I'm just feeling really alone in dealing with how I'm feeling.
I noticed on Facebook that a local wellbeing community cafe on my estate, Cloud 9 Wellbeing, was looking for people to take part in a meditation trial throughout the month of March where you attend three classes every week and write before and after testimonials.
I've been a bit of a skeptic in the past when it's come to meditation. I'm not getting the violins out but I almost felt like my problems were too deep rooted for meditation/mindfulness to have any affect on me. So this trial was the perfect opportunity for it to prove me wrong.
I've heard fantastic things about Cloud 9 and a few years ago, I bought my himalayan salt lamp from them which I love, so I sent a private message to them last weekend explaining why I thought meditation could help me. A few days later I got invited to take part!
I've been twice already this week and I'm really enjoying it. If I'm honest, meditation is really difficult and I know it takes a while to get in to but so far I'm definitely feeling calmer after the classes and I'm starting to chat to the other class attendees in the cafe after a class which is really nice.
The meditation room is amazing. Before the class even starts the aroma of incense and the calming music in the cafe (which sells lush cake btw) puts me totally at ease. The owners, Rachel and Susan are so lovely and are great listeners.
Below is the start of my meditation journal that I will share at the end of March. I've had a great experience so far so I'm looking forward to seeing how my meditation journey develops.
So tomorrow morning I am taking part in my first meditation class and I've got to admit, I'm feeling pretty anxious about it. To be honest I've always been a bit sceptical about meditation and believe that my problems and worries are too deeply routed to be helped by techniques like mindfulness and meditation.
I've suffered from anxiety since being a child and as I got older, I also developed depression which has recently been diagnosed as Borderline Personality Disorder.
My anxiety and mood swings are really bad at the minute and I'm also off work on long term sick leave whilst I wait for help from my community mental health team.
I am at my wits end and I just can't ever relax, even now writing this I can feel my heartbeat in my chest and have that horrible nervous sensation. My jaw is clenched with anxiety to the point where I needed a jaw splint and botox in my jaw muscles from clenching my teeth all the time.
At the minute I'm feeling like this 24/7 and I am getting sick of it. I've developed unhealthy coping techniques and it's taking over my life. I can't imagine ever feeling relaxed.
I take medication for my anxiety but it is having little effect.
I have tried meditation apps but being in a familiar space with my headphones in doesn't help and I can't switch off.
I'm really hoping by being in a relaxing meditation space and with the lovely people at Cloud 9, I can start to learn new and healthy ways on how to stop my thoughts controlling my life for a while, even if it's just for half an hour, through being mindful.
Wish me lots of luck and relaxation!
This morning I had my first ever meditation session by the lovely Susan at Cloud 9. I was a bit nervous and self conscious at first but it didn't take me as long as I thought to start relaxing.
The meditation room is amazing and so comfortable. Susan made me feel totally at ease and it was nice to meet two other people there for their first time too.
We closed our eyes and we were talked through breathing and relaxing each muscle in our bodies whilst calming music was playing. I didn't realise how much tension I could even feel in my eyes!
Although I didn't manage to switch off my anxious thoughts completely, I definitely feel a bit more relaxed. This is normal though, it can take a while to learn the techniques to allow your mind to focus.
It was so nice to have that time to relax in a new space and not at home where you can be interrupted.
The cafe at Cloud 9 do some lovely herbal teas so it was great to end a session of meditation with a tea and chat with other people from the session.
I'm loving going to Cloud 9 in the mornings at the moment. I woke up this morning feeling quite anxious as I had a sickness review at work today. As soon as I walked in to the cozy cafe I instantly felt more relaxed…and that is before the meditation! The music and the smells of incense are so comforting and you know it's a safe space.
I'm starting to chat to the regulars and others who go to the meditation sessions which is great too as it makes me feel less self conscious during the meditation class.
I felt so calm at the end of the session and noticed that my thoughts seemed to switch off more easily than yesterday…I must be starting to get the hang of it!
Thursday is coffee and cake for £5 so I obviously stayed for cake. I love sitting in the cafe area. The staff are lovely and it's such a great place to chill after the class.
I haven't written a post for a while because I honestly haven't been in the mood. I've had a few weeks of just thinking that no one will care what I'm writing about but that's not why I'm doing this, so here I am again with another post.
I'm a bit pissed off at the minute to put it mildly. Since my diagnosis last month, I've just been treading water. I've bought a few self help books and I've been reading about other people's experiences but it's not really cutting it.
Since my initial assessment I have heard nothing from my local Community Mental Health Team. I've rang three times over the past week with the promise that someone will get back to me about where I am on the waiting list / next steps. They still haven't rang me.
It's no surprise there is a mental health crisis right now when no one can get any help.
I want to get back to work eventually. At the minute I just feel like I'm in groundhog day the film, just waiting everyday to hear what's going to happen.
Before my referral to secondary care, I was on the waiting list for Talking Therapies. I've been on that waiting list since May 2018 which is totally unacceptable. So I have now gone 9 months without any support from the NHS other than medication. No wonder people get worse.
I know from speaking to some of my friends who have waited for similar support that they have had to wait one whole year for treatment and have been ignored by the service during a crisis.
I have contacted my local MP this week who responded to me straight away. I've signed a patient consent form so that he can contact the NHS on my behalf so I'm hoping this will be a big help for me.
There really needs to be some drastic changes with current mental health services, especially within the North East. It's a massive problem that needs addressing.
When I get myself into recovery (eventually!) I'm thinking of becoming some kind of mental health advocate to really push for better care as it's something I'm now really passionate about.
I'm sorry about the rant! It has been good getting it out of my system.

Bible > Matthew > Matthew 26 > Matthew 26:6
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
Clarke's Matthew 26:6 Bible Commentary
In Bethany - For a solution of the difficulties in this verse, about the time of the anointing, see the observations at the end of this chapter.
Simon the Leper - This was probably no more than a surname, as Simon the Canaanite, Matthew 10:4, and Barsabas Justus, Acts 1:23, and several others. Yet it might have been some person that Christ had healed of this disease. See Matthew 11:5.
Barnes's Matthew 26:6 Bible Commentary
In Bethany - See the notes at Matthew 21:1.
Simon the leper - Simon, who had been a leper.
Leper - See the notes at Matthew 8:1. It was unlawful to eat with persons that had the leprosy, and it is more than probable, therefore, that this Simon had been healed - perhaps by our Lord himself. John Joh 12:1 says that this was the house where Lazarus was, who had been raised from the dead. Probably Lazarus was a relative of Simon's, and was living with him. Further, he says that they made a supper for Jesus, and that Martha served. He says that this was six days before the Passover. From the order in which Matthew and Mark mention it, it would have been supposed that it was but two days before the Passover, and after the cleansing of the temple; but it is to be observed,
1. that Matthew and Mark often neglect the exact order of the events that they record.
2. that they do not "affirm" at what time this was. They leave it indefinite, saying that "while" Jesus was in Bethany he was anointed by Mary.
3. that Matthew introduced it here for the purpose of giving a "connected" account of the conduct of "Judas." "Judas" complained at the waste of the ointment John 12:4, and one of the effects of his indignation, it seems, was to betray his Lord.
Wesley's Matthew 26:6 Bible Commentary
26:6 14:3 .

Q: NSAttributedString and emojis: issue with positions and lengths I'm coloring some parts of a text coming from an API (think "@mention" as on Twitter) using NSAttributedString.
The API gives me the text and an array of entities representing the parts of the text that are mentions (or links, tags, etc) which should be colored.
But sometimes, the coloration is offset because of emojis.

For example, with this text:

"@ericd Some text. @apero"

the API gives:

[
     {
        "text" : "ericd",
        "len" : 6,
        "pos" : 0
     },
     {
        "text" : "apero",
        "len" : 6,
        "pos" : 18
     }
  ]

which I successfully translate to an NSAttributedString using NSRange:
for m in entities.mentions {
    let r = NSMakeRange(m.pos, m.len)
    myAttributedString.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: someValue, range: r)
}

We see that "pos": 18 is correct, this is where "@apero" starts. The colored parts are "@ericd" and "@apero", as expected.
but when some specific combinations of emojis are used in the text, the API does not translate well to NSATtributedString, the coloration is offset:

"@ericd Some text. ✌ @apero"

gives:

[
     {
        "text" : "ericd",
        "len" : 6,
        "pos" : 0
     },
     {
        "text" : "apero",
        "len" : 6,
        "pos" : 22
     }
  ]

"pos": 22: the API author states that this is correct, and I understand their point of view.
Unfortunately, NSAttributedString does not agree, my coloration is off:

The last characters for the second mention are not colored (because the "pos" is too short because of the emojis?).
As you might have already guessed, I cannot in any way change the way the API behaves, I have to adapt on client side.
Except that... I have no idea what to do. Should I try to detect what kind of emojis are in the text and manually amend the position of mentions when there's a problematic emoji? But what would be the criteria to detect which emoji shifts the position and which doesn't? And how to decide how much offset I need? Maybe the problem is caused by NSAttributedString?
I understand that this is related to the emojis length once composed compared to their length as discrete characters, but... well... I'm lost (sigh).

Note that I've tried to implement a solution similar to this stuff because my API is compatible with this one, but it only worked partially, some emojis were still breaking the indexes:

A: A Swift String provides different "views" on its contents.
A good overview is given in "Strings in Swift 2" in the Swift Blog:

*

*characters is a collection of Character values, or extended grapheme clusters.

*unicodeScalars is a collection of Unicode scalar values.

*utf8 is a collection of UTF–8 code units.

*utf16 is a collection of UTF–16 code units.

As it turned out in the discussion, pos and len from your API
are indices into the Unicode scalars view.
On the other hand, the addAttribute() method of NSMutableAttributedString takes an NSRange, i.e. the range corresponding
to indices of the UTF-16 code points in an NSString.
String provides methods to "translate" between indices of the
different views (compare NSRange to Range<String.Index>):
let text = "@ericd Some text. ✌ @apero"
let pos = 22
let len = 6

// Compute String.UnicodeScalarView indices for first and last position:
let from32 = text.unicodeScalars.index(text.unicodeScalars.startIndex, offsetBy: pos)
let to32 = text.unicodeScalars.index(from32, offsetBy: len)

// Convert to String.UTF16View indices:
let from16 = from32.samePosition(in: text.utf16)
let to16 = to32.samePosition(in: text.utf16)

// Convert to NSRange by computing the integer distances:
let nsRange = NSRange(location: text.utf16.distance(from: text.utf16.startIndex, to: from16),
                      length: text.utf16.distance(from: from16, to: to16))

This NSRange is what you need for the attributed string:
let attrString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
attrString.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
                        value: UIColor.red,
                        range: nsRange)

Update for Swift 4 (Xcode 9): In Swift 4, the standard library
provides methods to convert between Swift String ranges and NSString
ranges, therefore the calculations simplify to
let text = "@ericd Some text. ✌ @apero"
let pos = 22
let len = 6

// Compute String.UnicodeScalarView indices for first and last position:
let fromIdx = text.unicodeScalars.index(text.unicodeScalars.startIndex, offsetBy: pos)
let toIdx = text.unicodeScalars.index(fromIdx, offsetBy: len)

// Compute corresponding NSRange:
let nsRange = NSRange(fromIdx..<toIdx, in: text)

Origin Access Premier will unlock every new EA game on PC
Starting with FIFA and Madden 19.
News by	Tom Phillips, News Editor
Updated on 9 June 2018
EA has announced Origin Access Premier, a new PC subscription service which will get you access to new games as they arrive.
It starts with the next FIFA and Madden, and will also of course include Battlefield V and BioWare's Anthem next year.
Think of it like Microsoft's own Xbox Game Pass, although there's no console version. The service will cost £14.99 per month or £89.99 per year.
The basic EA Access on console and Origin Access on PC currently grant early access to new titles, although you still have to purchase them when they fully release, as well as some back catalogue games.
Tom is Eurogamer's news editor. He writes lots of news, some of the puns and all the stealth Destiny articles.

Thanks for a job well done
On December 17, 2018, trustees of the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust hosted members of the Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Scott aboard HMCS Sackville to recognize the significant amount of work accomplished in phase one of the ship's refit and ongoing preservation.

FMF personnel thanked for a job well done

HMCS Sackville, Canada's Naval Memorial, is currently resting comfortably in the water at her winter berth in HMC Dockyard, but that may not be the case if not for the significant hull restoration work completed throughout 2018.
Sackville was hoisted up on the Syncrolift early last spring and remained in the hands of FMF Cape Scott until October. While the full list of repairs isn't yet complete, with more issues being identified as the process went along, major work has already been done to help extend the life of the vessel.
To celebrate the successes so far, the Second World War ship and her volunteer crew from the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust (CNMT), along with FMF Commanding Officer Capt(N) David Benoit, hosted a group of the FMF employees on December 17 for coffee, food, and to express appreciation for their hard work.
"Today is about looking back at a very intense period of time for FMF. The Navy asked for the facility to take on an extra demand to support Sackville, and many of our individuals poured their hearts and souls into that work," Capt(N) Benoit said.
"That's one of the reason the ship is back in the water."
A number of unexpected obstacles and issues made for a difficult start to the project in the spring, but despite the fact some work was done under constraints, CNMT Chair Cdr (Ret'd) Wendall Brown said he was encouraged and impressed each time he visited the site.
"Everybody who came here and worked on the ship gave it their all under difficult circumstances, that was very clear and we very much appreciate all that's being done for us."
Brown added that support for the project at the Navy leadership and Federal Government level has also been encouraging, with Sackville now slated to go back into FMF's hands this coming March for further maintenance, repair and restoration. When the ship is lifted a second time, it will be positioned differently, with sections of the hull that sat on blocks in 2018 opened up for work.
"The spots that we couldn't address the first time will now be exposed, so that will be one big aspect of the project," said LCdr (Ret'd) Jim Reddy, a CNMT trustee who serves as Sackville's Commanding Officer.
A special gift presentation was also made during the luncheon to FMF's Project Manager for the Sackville project, Bob Naugler, who many know as a musician in his spare time with Bob Naugler and the Midtown Blues Band. CNMT Trustee Cdr (Ret'd) Bill Gard presented the gift on behalf of the Trust and thanked Naugler for his large contribution to the work on Sackville.
Capt(N) Benoit said he was looking forward to once again having his staff work on the ship, which he described as an important asset in telling the RCN story and inspiring the next generations of sailors.
"The ship isn't just about the World War II legacy that's embodied within it. The ship represents service and sacrifice and commitment, and those values were also demonstrated by the employees who took on this task."

Ambalal Jhaverbhai Patel (died 1961) was an Indian photographer and film producer.

Patel started working as a professional photographer in 1924. He subsequently started work as a cameraman in the newsreel industry, but continued photography as a hobby, and after a successful 1939 exhibition became a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. A trip to Hollywood the following year led to him pitching the idea of a weekly Indian newsreel to the British government in India, which eventually led to the creation of Indian News Parade. In 1952, he founded Film Centre, which was the first film laboratory in India to produce colour prints. In order to demonstrate Film Centre's capabilities, he produced Ezra Mir's film Pamposh, which received critical plaudits for its appearance.

Patel published the photography periodical Camera in the Tropics.

Our Dystopia
An essay on Civilization from Salvo #35 in Deprogram by Denyse O'Leary
The Worst of Both Worlds
The two classic dystopian novels 1984 (1949) by George Orwell (1903-1950) and Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) have often prompted comparison, both to each other and to the real-life conditions of today. Indeed, the novels have twice been treated in Salvo: first in our inaugural issue in 2006 by Hunter Baker and more recently by

Times are EDT - Wyoming is known as the "Energy State," and for good reason. With an abundance of natural resources, Wyoming consistently ranks high in traditional, and now emerging, energy sources. Including wind. Wyoming was ranked by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) as seventh highest state for wind potential capacity in the United States.


Collection care strategies are based on common-sense. Any person working in a museum - whether a registrar, exhibit designer, director or volunteer - must incorporate preservation principles in all activities that impact the collection. How money is allocated, how staff is trained, equipment purchased, and consultants used, impact the preservation of a collection as much as storage materials and exhibit light levels.
This page links to useful collection care ideas to assist in improving the overall care of a collection. The focus in these links are practical solutions and ideas. Start with Collections Caretaker "It takes a staff to care for a collection."
If you are starting a new museum, or planning a building expansion, remember to include a conservator from the beginning of your planning. Do not depend on the architect to be current on preservation concepts.

Transgender teens face a host of issues as they struggle for support.
It's hard enough being a teenager. The realities of adult life begin to bear down on you, and what's worse, few people seem to "get" you. All of those normal feelings can be multiplied when you belong to a subgroup that is struggling for social acceptance. When reputation, being "seen" with the right group and rumors are a real part of daily life, being transgender can present a host of issues for teenagers. The struggle to build self-esteem and a support system can be difficult for transgender teens. The feeling of isolation can lead to many problems, including being bullied or having suicidal thoughts.
Perhaps the most challenging issue facing transgender teens is whether to let family and friends know about their sexual identify. Some transgender teens can feel as though they are stuck living a lie if they don't reveal their sexual identity to their friends and families. Transgender teens are reluctant to openly admit that they are having gender identity issues for a host of reasons. According to senior editor Stephanie Pappas at the website Live Science, many transgender teens fear their parents won't accept them and that they will be sent for mental health treatment to try to reverse their desire to become the gender they associate with.
The website PFLAG New York City reports that in New York alone, nearly one-tenth of LGBT students face physical dangers from assault because of their "gender expression." Other students may consider transgender students to be nothing more than "confused" about who they are. The website also reports that transgender students' grades often suffer because of the physical harassment they face.
Transgender individuals likely feel that their gender does not match with how they feel inside. Medical procedures are available, but they are extremely costly and often are not covered by insurance plans. According to Live Science, hormone treatment often is not available to all because of "poor insurance coverage." Even if the financial burden of having gender reassignment surgery is not an issue, many doctors won't perform the procedure unless the child still suffers from "gender identity distress" after puberty.
