Full Version: Clan Vorago Team!
Recently after some successful kills with fellow clanmembers, we have decided to start a clan vorago team for the clan. Vorago is a good consistent source of money that's not too hard to learn as a beginner. We will be taking people on board that meet the minimum requirements under the condition that they eventually learn designated roles where needed.
The intention is to do Vorago trips as often as possible starting around 20:30 game time with teams no bigger than 6 people.
Quote: 1) Do you meet the requirements?
5) Do you wish to learn any new roles you don't know yet?
6) are you willing to join us on Discord?
If the amount of registered team members exceeds 10 and all are experienced enough we will be open to trying for hardmode kills.
3) I am only free on saturdays and sundays for the proposed times. I am free every evening from around 6:00-11:00 gmt, but I assume this is the time everyone is sleeping.
Also i'd love to go to hardmode if you guys ever host one, I still need bombi and I think I have enough experience to help out with roles / learners if needed. Would be nice to see that happen.
1) Do you meet the requirements?
Any day as long as am im not on call/duty.
Of course playas and playettes.
4) Do you wish to learn any new roles you don't know yet?
5) are you willing to join us on Discord?


Home / Marketing / Olympic Athletes Eating What?!?
I couldn't believe my eyes earlier this week. McDonald's ran a commercial featuring Olympic Athletes who've been waiting and training for the Games all their lives. It was a spot that roped me in for a few seconds, and then they did what? They put a fried chicken sandwich in the Athletes' hands.
Oh my, they have really sunk to a new low. It was such a disconnect for me. Here are these unbelievable people who've so much discipline in their training, and what they consume, in order to attain the most efficient body for their particular passion. Does anybody actually think these folks believe a McDonald's fried chicken sandwich is like gold?
I was instantly disgusted with the spot and thought the agency should be fired. It's not that the idea is bad or even poorly executed — it's paired with the wrong product!
If these athletes were standing up there and the product revealed was a vitamin-enhanced water, I might believe they actually use it. But a fried chicken sandwich???

Q: Write text to image with indexed pixel format I have monochrome TIFF files (1 bpp) that I would like to write text to.  When I load them into System.Drawing.Image, and try to instantiate a Graphics object from that image, I receive the error, "A Graphics object cannot be created from an image that has an indexed pixel format."
I can convert the images to a non-indexed format, such as JPEG, but then the resulting image size is very large.
I would like to accomplish this while keeping the image size down.  How can I write text onto these images without converting them to another format?

A: Using the idea in the comment left by Hans Passant, I located this article on code project: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15186/Bitonal-TIFF-Image-Converter-for-NET
Adapting this code, I converted the image to 32bpp, wrote the text on that image, then converted it to 1bpp.

A: You can convert images in memory using System.Drawing.Bitmap.Clone. This satisfies the small file size requirement. If you need a TIF on winforms, use TiffBitmapEncoder.
Bitmap bmpTif = new Bitmap(imagePath);

Bitmap bmp = bmpTif.Clone(new Rectangle(0, 0, pageWidth, pageHeight),
    PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);

// Do your g.DrawString's

Bitmap bmpNew = bmp.Clone(new Rectangle(0, 0, pageWidth, pageHeight),
    PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed);
bmpNew.Save(imagePath2);

A: You could use an image manipulation API like ImageMagick.NET which supports TIFF images. I believe you can use the Annotate method to render text into it.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I made some changes to my child theme. Add forms, etc. Why the parent theme looks the same? With the changes?
I did something wrong or the files? are in the wrong place?
Be sure that the child theme is active. Editing child themes is a very different and in depth topic on its own, so it's impossible to say without looking. But the most common issues with changes not showing up are caching, CSS specificity, and the template hierarchy.
So be sure to fully flush your cache(s), make sure any CSS you write is at least as specific as the CSS it's meant to override from the parent (if not moreso), and be sure if you're editing a PHP template file in the child theme there isn't one higher up the template hierarchy I'm the parent theme being used instead.
Great explanation. Thank you for this. I'm grateful to you.
Thank you for this beautifully explained article. I'm grateful for your time and effort that you shared with us.
What happen if after doing all this (creating the child folder and files, activating the child theme), the child theme only loads a blank page?

Preventing and Treating Flat Head Syndrome in Babies
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that infants sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related deaths. As a result, pediatricians have seen an increase in the number of children with positional plagiocephaly, or positional skull deformities (flat heads). In the revised AAP clinical report, "Prevention and Management of Positional Skull Deformities in Infants," in the December 2011 Pediatrics (published online Nov. 28), positional skull deformities are commonly diagnosed as benign, reversible head-shape irregularities that are caused in utero or may develop during the first few months of life, and do not require surgical correction. It is important for pediatricians to be able to differentiate between infants with positional skull deformities and infants with craniosynostosis, a more serious condition that can lead to neurological damage or severe craniofacial deformity. The vast majority of positional plagiocephaly cases can be corrected with physical therapy and noninvasive measures. Helmet therapy is rarely necessary. If the condition appears to be worsening by 6 months, referrals should be made to pediatric neurosurgeons with expertise in caring for this condition to help determine whether a skull-shaping helmet or other interventions are needed.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

King Arthur's Legendary Castle Reveals Surprising Secrets From The Dark Ages
Jun 23, 2018 03:55pm EDT
Nobelle Borines
The Dark Ages might not be so somber after all. Archaeologists have just discovered fascinating relics from the seventh century at North Cornwall's Tintagel Castle. The interesting find could potentially shine a light on what happened in King Arthur's legendary castle.
Tintagel has long been associated with the legend of King Arthur. Although it is still unclear whether the mighty king actually existed, the castle is a true testament to how people lived back in the Dark Ages. Archaeologists found a seventh-century window ledge scribbled with Celtic, Greek, and Latin words as well as Iberian glass. In addition to that, the scientists have uncovered numerous ceramic bowls from Turkey. Not surprisingly, the discoveries could confirm that most of the castle's inhabitants had traveled thousands of miles to the Cornish lands.
The scenic view from Tintagel Castle may have inspired an ancient scholar to practice their writing on a window ledge thousands of years ago.

English Heritage's Win Scutt is understandably excited about the findings. The curator stated that the castle may have played host to seventh-century scholars.
"We can't know for sure who made these marks or why, but what we can say is that seventh-century Tintagel had professional scribes who were familiar with the techniques of writing manuscripts – and that in itself is very exciting," Scutt said. "Our research has already revealed the extent of Tintagel's buildings and the richness of the lifestyle enjoyed here. This latest find goes one step further to show that we have a literate, Christian community with strong connections from Atlantic Europe to the Mediterranean."
Tintagel Castle pays tribute to the legendary King Arthur with a stunning sculpture known as 'Gallos'.
Tintagel was mentioned early in the legend of King Arthur. According to 12th-century medieval chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth, Uther Pendragon seduced the wife of the Duke of Cornwall in the castle. The seduction later led to the birth of Uther's son Arthur, who would go on to rule England. Whether Arthur actually existed or not, archaeologists are confident that there will be more interesting finds in Tintagel.

Abstract: Icosahedrite, the first natural quasicrystal with composition Al63Cu24Fe13, was discovered in several grains of the Khatyrka meteorite, a CV3 carbonaceous chondrite. The presence of icosahedrite associated with high-pressure phases like ahrensite and stishovite indicates formation at high pressures and temperatures due to an impact-induced shock. Previous experimental studies on the stability of synthetic icosahedral AlCuFe have either been limited to ambient pressure, for which they indicate incongruent melting at similar to 1123 K, or limited to room-temperature, for which they indicate structural stability up to about 35 GPa. These data are insufficient to experimentally constrain the formation and stability of icosahedrite under the conditions of high pressure and temperature that formed the Khatyrka meteorite. Here we present the results of room-temperature, high-pressure diamond-anvil cells measurements of the compressional behavior of synthetic icosahedrite up to 50 GPa. High P-T experiments were also carried out using both laser-heated diamond-anvil cells combined with in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (at 42 GPa) and multi-anvil apparatus (at 21 GPa) to investigate the structural evolution and crystallization of possible coexisting phases. The results demonstrate that the quasiperiodic order of icosahedrite is retained over the P-T range explored. We find that pressure acts to stabilize the icosahedral symmetry at temperatures much higher than previously reported. Direct solidification of AlCuFe quasicrystals from an unusual Al-Cu-rich melt is possible but it is limited to a narrow temperature range. Alternatively, quasicrystals may form after crystallization through solid-solid reactions of Al-rich phases. In either case, our results show that quasicrystals can preserve their structure even after hypervelocity impacts spanning a broad range of pressures and temperatures.


The year 2019 sees the comeback of Boho design, bold colors, and light flooring for living room décor. There is also an emphasis on daily comfort and compact design. The rise of the urban population and a decrease in family size also affect the way people decorate their houses.
Decorating a living room should bring you the most comfortable result, without sacrificing beauty. Here are several great ideas to decorate a living room.
Beautiful rugs or carpets get the main spot in modern living room design. If you prefer simpler room look, choose patterned carpets or textured rugs. Don't hesitate to choose a rug with colorful patterns and color combination.
2019 design trend encourages homeowners to play with bold wall colors. Bottle green, navy blue, orange, or cherry red are considered normal for a living room. The trick is to make sure that there is enough light to reduce cramped looks, such as from windows and mood lightings.
Forget typical couch or sofa arrangement in a living room. If you don't think that large sofa is necessary, ditch it and choose more suitable seats. Bean bags, L-seats, or wicker chairs can be great additions for a living room.
White sink becomes out of the ordinary with colored metal faucets. Bronze or brass creates a luxurious look when paired with an ordinary white sink. To make the look more memorable, choose a sink that has a different look from usual, such as square or round bowl.
Pillows and cushions create comfort while adding visual attraction to your living room. There are various pillow or cushion designs that you can order based on your personality. Combining different pillow patterns and colors on one seat can create a unique look.
Mid-century armchairs are popular items for modern living room décor. They are comfortable, and available in various sizes. To prevent outdated look, choose armchairs that have bright colors. Red, green, or red are great bold colors for such seats.
The Japan-inspired living room offers a relaxing vibe, fewer bulks, and natural elements. A low table and seating pillows allow guests to sit casually on the floor. However, there should be a few seats for more options. Install sliding door and add several green potted plants to create Japanese elements.
Emphasis on specific furniture items is another modern design trend. Choosing an unusual coffee table, such as in the form of a tree log or asymmetrical glass panel, will give more personality to your living room.
Mixing bright colors will make your living room pop. The key is to choose a key piece, such as painting, and choose furniture with colors that appear in the piece. For example, if a painting consists of dark blue, white, and mustard yellow colors, choose items that have such colors.
Recycled objects add extra personality to your living room. Wooden crates or old wooden panels can be turned into coffee tables or shelves. There are also furniture items made from pieces of polished logs or stumps.
Don't depend on a single lamp to create amazing decoration. Mood lights create an intimate atmosphere and illuminate specific spots in a living room. They are great to emphasize specific furniture or artwork.
Nautical or beach design elements create a relaxing vibe in a living room. Use seashell, fish, or starfish patterns on the fabrics. Incorporate colors like blue and turquoise, with beige or sand yellow as the "neutral" shades.
If you hesitate to use bold colors in a living room, try adding bursts of colors instead. Use neutral shades as the basics, such as grey, beige, or light brown. Add color bursts by adding pillows, carpets, flowers in vases, and wall decorations. Use several bright colors and daring patterns.
Bookshelves are more than just practical items. Add unique bookshelves in the living room so they can work as decorations. You can also install simple, airy shelves to place decorative items alongside books.
Light wooden floor looks perfect when paired with lilac. This beautiful color was popular in 2017 and 2018, but still quite popular in 2019. Use dark grey as the "basic" color to bridge the floor and the lilac elements. For example, you can install grey sofas with lilac pillows.
Black furniture and unique pendant lamp or chandelier create an elegant, contemporary look. It is perfect if you don't like feminine or overly bright design. Choose a pendant lamp with a unique design and impressive size. Choose black items that have a glossy surface for a more interesting look.
Creating a great living room décor in 2019 requires understanding about your comfort and aesthetic preferences. Forget outdated trend and start creating the best living room based on your taste.

Gerald Thomas PhD, Philippe Lucas MA, N. Rielle Capler, MHA, and Kenneth Tupper PhD
Abstract: This presentation is a comprehensive overview of an unpublished observational study of ayahuasca-assisted therapy for addiction and patterns of dependence conducted in British Columbia, Canada, in 2011. The study took place in the longhouse of a coastal First Nations band in cooperation with the Band Council and health office. The research tracked the progress of 12 indigenous participants of the "Working with Addiction and Stress" retreats organized by Dr. Gabor Maté, which combines four to five days of psycho-spiritual counseling with two ayahuasca ceremonies in the Peruvian Shipibo indigenous tradition. This presentation will examine "observational" research designed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of illicit substances like ayahuasca, and then discuss researchers' observations of the retreat itself. Ayahuasca-assisted addiction therapy was shown to have a significant and lasting positive impact on the lives of many of the retreat participants. This talk will close by sharing the final study results, and a discussion of the challenges and opportunities of using ayahuasca-assisted therapy to reduce drug-related harms and address stress, trauma, and problematic substance use in aboriginal and non-aboriginal populations.
Gerald Thomas, PhD, received his doctoral degree in political science from Colorado State University in 1998 and a Master's degree in economics in 1996 from the same institution. He has worked in the addictions field in Canada since 2002. He is currently a collaborating scientist with the Centre for Addictions Research of British Columbia. His research interests focus on investigating ways to evolve the beneficial uses of substances while minimizing their social and personal costs. In his past work, he has compared the social costs of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis in Canada; developed a public health approach to alcohol policy for British Columbia; and helped to create a policy-relevant typology for assessing cannabis use. He is currently involved in a number of national and regional research projects including being the principal investigator for an observational study of the use of ayahuasca-assisted therapy for stress and addictions.
Philippe Lucas, MA is a Research Affiliate with the Center for Addictions Research of British Columbia and a founding Board member of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies Canada and the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition. His research interests, projects, and publications include the use of cannabis, ibogaine, and ayahuasca in the treatment of addiction. He is currently a Primary or Co-Investigator on a number of studies examining "cannabis substitution theory," and is Coordinator and Co-Investigator of an observational study of ayahuasca-assisted treatment for addiction and stress.
N. Rielle Capler, MHA, has worked as researcher and policy advisor in the medical cannabis field for 13 years. She helped pioneer Canada's first compassion club, where she worked as the policy analyst and research coordinator from 1999 to 2007. Rielle is co-investigator on several community-based research projects, including the Health Effects of Medical Marijuana Project (HEMMP) with UBC's School of Nursing, and the Medical Cannabis Standards, Engagement, Evaluation, and Dissemination (SEED) Project. Rielle is a co-founder of the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries (CAMCD) and Canadians for Safe Access, a national organization promoting safe access to cannabis for medical use and research. She sits on the advisory board of the Drug Policy Committee of the BC Civil Liberties Association. Rielle is also a co-investigator on an observational study of ayahuasca-assisted therapy in the treatment of addiction that took place in British Columbia, Canada, in 2011-2012. She is currently a doctoral student in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of British Columbia.
Kenneth W. Tupper, PhD, is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia. His 2011 PhD dissertation focused on ayahuasca, entheogenic education, and public policy. His other research interests include the cross-cultural and historical uses of psychoactive substances; public, professional and school-based drug education; and the creation of effective public policies to maximize benefits and minimize harms from currently illegal drugs (kentupper.com).

Dave Horton outlines what the new GDPR data protection regulation means for hair and beauty businesses.
On 25th May 2018, new regulations came into place which effect how you gather, store and use information about your clients. Regardless of the size of your beauty business, and whether you're a sole trader or run a limited company, now is the time to review and amend your procedures so that you comply otherwise you could face significant fines.
Recently you may have received an increase in emails from companies asking you to re-subscribe to their mailing lists or confirm that you would like them to stay in touch with you. This is because the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect on 25th May 2018 and all businesses need to act – you cannot use ignorance as a defence. Your first port of call should be to visit the Information Commissioner's Office website, where you find full details of the change in legislation, as well as a useful 12-step guide to the GDPR.
The regulation refers to 'personal data', meaning any information that can be used to identify an individual, directly or indirectly, such as name, email address, photographs, online identifiers such as IP addresses, and any CCTV footage you might gather in your business. It should be noted that the GDPR refers to personal data stored on paper as well as electronically.
Although the GDPR is being introduced to standardise data protection across European Economic Areas, it will be unaffected by Brexit. It's also worth noting that the GDPR is new legislation that is likely to evolve with case law, so keep an eye out for updates from the Information Commissioner's Office as the regulation may change over time.
Which areas of your business might be affected?
In line with the requirements of your insurance policy, you should be carrying out client consultations before every appointment and updating your clients' records regularly afterwards; this information is classed as personal data. As per the policy wording from insurance specialists Zurich, "records should be kept for at least seven years following the last occasion on which treatment was given. In the case of treatment to minors, it is advisable that records should be kept or at least seven years after they reach the age of majority (18)." If the salon is treating minors at all, you'll need to note about the age of majority.
At present, you might also gather clients' data for marketing purposes. If you have a list of contact details for individuals who you write to, email or contact via phone or through an app, whether or not you comply with the GDPR will affect if you can continue to use this information.
If you have a list of contact details for individuals who you write to, email or contact via phone or through an app, you will need to comply with the GDPR to continue to use this information.
If you employ staff, or offer work experience placements to students, you will also need to ensure that the way that you store their personal data complies with the GDPR.
Prior to 25th May 2018, the DataProtection Act (1998) protects personal data stored on computers or on paper. However, with the increasing use of electronic means of storing data and the potential for breaches, where data is lost or stolen electronically, the GDPR has been devised to protect individuals whose personal data is likely to be stored by hundreds of different companies across Europe.
Contract basis: You and your client are entering into a contract when they agree to purchase a service or product from you, and therefore you can legally process their personal data in order for you to deliver that service or product as long as it is processed and stored in line with the GDPR.
Legitimate basis: You might want to legitimately contact your clients for marketing purposes. You will need to show that the way you use someone's personal data is proportionate, has a minimal privacy impact, and people would not be surprised or likely to object to you contacting them. You will, however, need to comply with Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) where it is necessary to give clients a clear option to opt out when they first consent to give their details and at each time information is sent (i.e. unsubscribe from your mailing list).
Consent basis: A key aspect of the GDPR is how individuals give you consent to process, store or use their personal data, and the right to modify or withdraw this consent. An individual must give a clear affirmation that you can use their data in the way that you intend to.
Permission must be clearly expressed and a record of how and when consent was gathered must be kept. If you are processing personal data of active clients or staff, its accuracy should be checked annually.
When an individual gives you their personal data, they must be given a privacy notice which details the purpose of processing their personal data, how long you will retain that personal data for, and who it will be shared with. This is a major change to how you currently process data, so you will need to make sure that you have systems and processes in place for recording that this has happened.
Under the GDPR, clients will have the right to request that their personal data is deleted or removed from your files where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing, known as a Right of Erasure. You should consider how you will manage such a request. However, there are circumstances where you can refuse this request.
Individuals have the right under the GDPR to see what information your business holds about them; you must provide this information within one month of it being requested in a format that is understandable. This includes all the data you have on them, including any comments you might make about your clients or members of staff on their electronic or paper records.
An individual may give you permission to store their personal data, for example on their client consultation card, but not process or use it any further. You are only allowed to retain enough information to ensure the restriction is respected.
You should process personal data securely including protecting it against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. You should seek technical guidance if you are unsure whether the electronic data you hold is securely stored.
If your business experiences a breach of security which leads to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data you have a responsibility to report the breach to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours. A personal data breach could include access by an unauthorised third party, sending personal data to the wrong recipient, or alteration of personal data without permission.

On May 27, 2011 in Palo Alto at SAP, the Bay Area Future Salon honored Mark Finnern. I am planning to put together a retrospective of Future Salon events soon. I learned from Mark that changing the future is easier than changing the past. Thank you for everything you have done.
QUESTION: How much toilet paper should you keep in your house? Answer below.
On November 8, 2010 in Palo Alto at SAP, The Bay Area Future Salon hosted Catherine Austin Fitts from Solari.com's presentation "Our Financial System: Facing Hard Facts, Creating Positive Futures." Austin Fitts has gone from Washington insider to community organizer at the local level. She was the Assistant Secretary of Housing – Federal Housing Commissioner during the savings and loan crisis of the first Bush Administration and went on to become an investment banker for the Wall Street firm of Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. She is now founder and managing member of Solari Investment Advisory Services, LLC.
My impression is that she advises rebuilding trust person by person. Act locally. It means investing in your community's small banks and businesses to create an economy based on equity and not debt. She thinks it more important who your county sheriff is than president. Create an alternative economic model that people can choose over the current one.
ANSWER: According to Catherine Austin Fitts, two years worth. A safe investment in a commodity you will actually use. Watch the video. Okay the economy is bad, but look on the bright side. At least the planet hasn't been destroyed by a galactic radiation storm..yet. As I said, watch the video.
On August 11, 2010 in Palo Alto at SAP, the Bay Area Future Salon hosted Cesar Castro, Founder and CEO of DiscoveryCast. The topic was "Open Innovation and the Future of Organizations." Castro believes that opening up the innovation process outside of companies can solve properly framed problems. Mark Finnern demonstrated SAP's newly developed ideation platform: Idea Place and Open PCAST as an interactive way to contribute ideas on ways to stimulate U.S. innovation, economic productivity or jobs in nanotech, biotech, or infotech to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
On Jun. 30, 2010 in Palo Alto at SAP, the Bay Area Future Salon hosted a Peter Marks of Design Insight presentation on Blind Spots. Marks is best known for his landmark books "Aligning Technology for Best Business Results" and "Winning Products". He understands the implications of technology in business and customer psychology. He demonstrated his expertise in visual perception.
You never see the car that hits you. If you did, you would be able to avoid it. In business the same sort of issues have to be dealt with everyday. What disruptive trend did you overlook? What crucial detail drove a customer to buy your product? Marks gave a lively presentation on how to look for what you can't see. Change the way you think and it will change what you see.
On Mar. 25, 2010 in Palo Alto at SAP, the Bay Area Future Salon hosted MIT Professor Sandy Pentland's to talk about his latest book "Honest Signals: How they shape our world." Most people are aware of body language but not aware of how nonverbal communication influences our behavior in groups. Pentland thinks some people are better at reading and responding to social signaling than others. People with these social skills tend to network better than others and become leaders in their communities. He intends to understand this phenomenon and how it could improve group dynamics.
Montgomery wants the ethical person to find or start a company that reflects their values and he aims to show the way.

Washington Nationals Game 147 Review: Nats Beat Marlins on a Sacrifice Fly in Extra Innings
September 19, 2015 by Rachel Levitin
The Washington Nationals made things interesting on Friday night and ended their night with a 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on a sacrifice fly hit by Catcher Jose Lobaton. The fly ball hit by Lobaton sent outfielder Jayson Werth home to score and secure the victory.
Starting pitcher Max Scherzer stayed strong through seven innings pitched despite a minor hiccup of a two-run homer hit by Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich in the first inning. Scherzer threw 104 pitches and 70 strikes while giving up five hits and two runs. He walked two, struck out two, and threw one wild pitch.
The Nats offense caught up with Miami the next inning by scoring a run on a solo homer hit by Clint Robinson off Marlins starting pitcher Jose Fernandez making it 2-1 through two innings played. Fernandez lasted five and two-thirds innings while giving up five hits and two runs to the Nats.
Washington tied it up at 2-2 in the sixth inning when outfielder Bryce Harper scored on a wild pitch thrown by Fernandez but the Marlins pulled ahead 3-2 in the eighth while facing reliever Felipe Rivero.
A throwing error made by second baseman Anthony Rendon with reliever Blake Treinen on the mound in the eighth tied it up 3-3 before the Nats pulled ahead by a run after in the bottom half of that same inning. Wild pitches thrown by Marlins reliever Jose Urena resulted in movement along the base path for the top of the Nats order. Pinch runner Trea Turner scored on a on a sacrifice fly hit by shortstop Ian Desmond to center field to tie it up and Harper scored on a clutch single hit by outfielder Michael A. Taylor giving the Nats a 4-3 lead.
Miami caught up with the Nats to tie it back in the top of the ninth against closer Jonathan Papelbon, whose been ill the past few days with a fever and wasn't 100% according to Manager Matt Williams. Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas tied it up by scoring off a sacrifice fly hit by Miami's lead off man Dee Gordon but the Nats would take the game in the tenth inning on Lobaton's sacrifice fly off reliever Brian Ellington as redemption.
HERO: Lobaton for the sac fly in the tenth.
GOAT: Papelbon for blowing the save.
NATS NOTES:
The Nats are 8-2 in extra innings this season now.
UP NEXT: LHP Justin Nicolino (3-3, 3.81) and the Miami Marlins face RHP Jordan Zimmermann (12-8, 3.51) and the Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C. at 4:05 p.m.

Washington Nationals Game 146 Review: Nats Fall Short Against Marlins
The Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 6-4 on Thursday night in Washington, D.C. Starting pitcher Tanner Roark lasted five innings against the Marlins while giving up six runs on eight hits — including two home runs — and striking out four batters. Roark threw 80 pitches and 54 strikes.
Miami dug into Roark right away starting with lead off man and second baseman Dee Gordon. Gordon opened the game up with a single before third baseman Martin Prado went long with one out putting the Marlins up 2-0.
Washington tied it up at 2-2 in the second inning when outfielder Jayson Werth scored on a two-run homer crushed by shortstop Ian Desmond off Marlins starting pitcher Jarred Cosart. The Nats didn't manage to get another run again until the sixth inning and it was already too late by that point.
The Marlins took a four-run lead in the fifth inning against Roark and the Nats on four hits. Shortstop Miguel Rojas led off the inning with a double before scoring on a sacrifice fly hit by Gordon making it a 3-2 ballgame. A pair of back-to-back singles hit by outfielder Christian Yelich and Prado followed by a three-run homer hit by first baseman Justin Bour was the game's "decider" moment according to Washington's Manager Matt Williams with the Marlins up 6-2.
The Nats had an opportunity in the eighth inning to tie up the game but only managed a pair of runs. Washington left the bases loaded and the tying run at the plate while falling to Miami 6-4. Third baseman Anthony Rendon led off the inning with a single off reliever Brian Ellington and moved to scoring position on a single hit by outfielder Bryce Harper off reliever Mike Dunn. A two-out , two-RBI single hit by Desmond off reliever Bryan Morris putting the Nats within reach of the Marlins but it wasn't enough.
HERO: Desmond for presenting the Nats with a clutch offensive performance. He went 2-for-4 with a home run and a single. Washington only had six hits on Thursday. He had two of them.
GOAT: Roark didn't get the job done. It's that simple.
Closer Jonathan Papelbon was unavailable today due to falling ill. He had a fever.
The Nats bullpen held the Marlins for four innings tonight. Nobody scored against Doug Fister, Matt Grace, Rafael Martin, and Matt Thornton.
UP NEXT: Jose Fernandez (5-0, 2.06) and the Miami Marlins face Max Scherzer (12-11, 2.91) and the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. at 7:05 p.m.

NATS: Washington Nationals Bullpen Auditions for "Expendables 3″
August 17, 2012 by Cheryl Nichols
While the Washington Nationals were in New York to play the Mets in July, they stopped by the MLB Fan Cave and the Nats Bullpen had a little fun reading "50 Shades of Grey."
An additional video was released today of a few MLB players' auditions for the fictitious movie, "The Expendables 3: War on the Basepaths." Members of the Nats bullpen, as well as former National Jerry Hairston, Jr., are featured in this fantastic video including Ryan Mattheus performing a Chuck Norris spin kick. I would go see that movie.
I hope that the videos keep coming. Nats have all sorts of talents.

Madeleine McCann's parents are speaking out in the wake of news that authorities are investigating a "significant line of inquiry" in the decade-old case.
Kate and Gerry McCann – whose 3-year-old daughter vanished from her family's rented ground-floor apartment in Portugal on May 3, 2007 – tell British journalist Fiona Bruce in a new interview that they "still hope" Madeleine will be found, according to the U.K.'s Press Association.
"There is progress and there are some very credible lines of inquiry that the police are working on and whilst there's no evidence to give us any negative news, you know, that hope is still there," said Kate.
In a statement last week from London's Metropolitan Police, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said a team of four detectives continues to work on "outstanding inquiries" in Madeleine's disappearance, with aid from their Portuguese counterparts.
"We've got some critical lines of inquiry, those link to particular hypotheses, but I'm not going to discuss those because those are very much live investigation," Rowley said.
The Metropolitan Police opted to reopen and fully fund a new probe into Madeleine's disappearance in 2013.
Madeleine was one week from her fourth birthday when she went missing from the family's vacation apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal. The little girl had been left with her 2-year-old twin siblings in the unlocked rental while Kate and Gerry dined at a restaurant just 130 feet away.
"No parent is going to give up on their child, unless they know for certain their child is dead, and we just don't have any evidence," Gerry – who, along with Kate, was cleared as a suspect in Madeleine's disappearance – said.
Both have full faith in the Metropolitan Police's work: "They've managed to pull so much together and sift through so much information, so now we do seem to be on just several lines of enquiry rather than tens/hundreds," said Kate.
Gerry and Kate said that they've tried hard to make life somewhat normal for their twins, Sean and Amelie.
"I think every kind of event that we do, whether it be a birthday or a family occasion or even an achievement or something that is kind of when you really feel her absence," said Kate, adding that she still buys birthday and Christmas presents for her daughter – including for Madeleine's upcoming 14th.

We booked Yellowstone lodge for the weekend for our entire extended family for a wedding. The property has a lot of space it provides excellent amenities and is very comfortable. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon!
We had a family reunion for 20 and rented houses from Grant the owner of Yellowstone. We rented 3 houses to lodge everyone so no one had to sleep on sofas or sleeping bags. We met for breakfast and dinner at Yellowstone and cooked a big family meal and then all of us went out to the amazing wrap around patio to dine and watch the stars as it got dark. We respected the rules that the Arrowhead community demands so no late partying and also respected the parking but this place holds 3 cars in the front and 4 in the back which was great. We especially liked that the rep for Grant, Jeanette, she was always there to field our calls when we couldn't fine enough towels or how to use the beach passes, etc. She promptly delivered the additional towels to the house. She was always kind and never made us feel like we were bugging her. We had 8 kids between 6-17 and there were lots of games, pool table, fuse ball and sort of what we called kids dorm on lower level with tons of double beds so the kids were never bored. We enjoyed the beach passes too, so during the day the kids could go down there with a few adults. Thanks to Grant, his wife and their associate Jeanette for a fantastic 3 day family reunion that we will never forget. Lastly we have a family member who is in a wheelchair and Arrowhead is impossible to find houses to accommodate the handicapped but Grant communicated with me and this person after being taken up the stairs to main house was able to have full access to their needs on one level, including the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room and the deck.
Review for Yellowstone Lodge - Great for entertaining with game room/wet bar!
We had a great stay! There was some remodeling that was done to the kitchen which was a welcomed blessing. We also enjoyed the three bedrooms with queen or king sized beds - great for our family which included three couples. Grant communicated with us quite well beforehand and moving in was seamless. I would definitely recommend this home and host to anyone!
This was our second year staying at Yellowstone Lodge, so we just love it!! But the updates Grant has done in their remodel have made it that much better! The kitchen and the bar (on the second floor) have been redone with granite countertops. The bathrooms have been redone with stone. There's also a stone bar that they built around the grill on the top deck, which is GREAT! The lodge is close to Lake Arrowhead Village and Blue Jay too, making grocery runs easy. I'd recommend this lodge to anyone who likes space, and especially groups, since it sleeps 10. We will hopefully be back this fall since we want to turn our annual trip into a bi-yearly one. The house is BETTER than the pics since the pictures are from before the remodel. Thanks again, Grant!!
We had a question once we arrived. Grant responded immediately and addressed our concern completely. Amazing service. Beautiful home. Absolute pleasure.
Our stay at Yellowstone lodge was excellent! The cabin has a lot of room even for the max capacity of 10 guest. We found that there was plenty to do such as board games, billiards, ping pong etc that made our time here so much more fun. Our group cooked many meals in the kitchen and had no problem whatsoever. The lake and the village are at close by driving distance. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We will definitely be coming back to Yellowstone lodge in the future!
Amazing views, super chill neighbors, loads of stuff to do in the house as well as on the lake, this was an amazing stay!
We decided to do a family retreat to Lake Arrowhead for the first time this year over New Years and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Grant was incredibly helpful and thorough with any questions or details and we all felt right at home. We look forward to returning again someday and highly recommend any of Grant's properties for your next Air BnB adventure!
Really beautiful cabin with all of the necessary amenities. Grant was a great host and replied to texts pretty quickly and was good at handling problems. Overall had a very good experience with this host and the cabin!
Amazing time! Super clean home! 3 stories! Warm! & very big! We loved it! Thank you so much Grant! We definitely will be back!
I brought my family and my sister's family up to Lake Arrowhead for a long weekend getaway. Grant's home was a perfect fit for our needs. The 3-floor plan offered ample space to spread out but the house also offered a great, large living area for getting together. The house had all the necessary amenities. Grant was also very responsive when we had questions. Definitely a property we'll consider staying at again.
My second trip to Lake Arrowhead and my first time staying with Grant. The best cabin by far out of the two. So much room and very clean! Three levels with two decks!! Grant was very helpful with directions and follow up questions. We are already planning on coming back next year!!
We just left the Yellowstone Lodge and we felt like not leaving. My mother wants us to buy the house not knowing it takes more than just money which we don't have to do that. The place is wonderful. We're not used to slanted parking but that's what makes it even more interesting. The windy road towards the cabin is like a joyride for us even with an older parent with us. Going to the cabin is so easy and the house itself is almost impeccable. Quite clean and complete of all necessities good for at least a few days. Relaxing and all the rooms are spacious. I really commend the host, Grant Dunning for really describing and detailing what to expect. He is such an amazing person to correspond with. We will definitely come back next year. Thank you, Grant.
Grant is awesome and so is the house. We had 8 people in our group for a relaxing weekend at Lake Arrowhead and the house and property were just perfect, even for such a large group. The house was well equipped with everything to make for a wonderful, stress-free weekend. Thanks Grant!
This was my first personal experience booking a cabin trip for my group of friends. That being said, Grant made it go very smooth with fast replies. The cabin was extremely spacious and kept us very comfortable. Entertainment also kept us very engaged and occupied. Overall, the cabin was in great condition and was not a far trip from the lake.
Lovely home with plenty of room, a great bunk room for kids, and nice decks. Carpeting, Bathrooms and Kitchen need updating and some real maintenance attention, but our group enjoyed the stay in spite of this.
Grant's home exceeded our expectations. My family and I enjoyed three very relaxed days at his home. Although Lake Arrowhead offers a variety of outdoor activities, we found ourselves wanting to stay in the cabin. The house was very clean and the layout is great for entertaining. We would love to come back!
Stayed during 4th of July weekend. The family was able to enjoy a great fireworks show from the deck, which overlooks the lake. House was great for our large family with the game room and bunk room, lots of space to accomidate all of us and our dog! Grant was quick to respond to all questions we had, very accommodating!
This cabin was HUGEEEEE! Hide and seek was prime and super fun!!! It was a bit hard trying to find the house at first. Good thing there was a sign on the street or we would have never found it! The kitchen is stocked with plenty of stuff! The third floor was the most fun floor due to the bunk beds and the cool ping pong table. Two down sides to the house was that it was kind of eerie if you were by yourself on one floor at night since it was so big and the lake for some reason didn't have their rental shop open so my group couldn't rent out paddle boards. Other than that, this was great for a group retreat and I would recommend any of Grants lodges!
Amazing Weekend Getaway! We loved, loved, loved this house for out group of 8! Judy & Grant could have been nicer or more accommodating. As "group leader" I had a lot of questions for my weekend getaway and they answered me quickly and thoroughly. They even offered to put in four bunks as opposed to one queen as we had a bunch of single people! No one had to share a bed! There was that much space! As for the house itself, it is a lovely two story house with a huge living room with what must be 20 foot ceilings! Such a warm, inviting, comfortable space. A large master bath & bedroom, a roomy kitchen for at least four of us to be chopping, dicing, cooking, carving and slicing at the same time! The downstairs "man cave" was perfect for the men who wanted to get away from the chatty women. Their own private deck and a pool table kept them entertained for hours! We dined outside on the deck and put the working grill to good use! The "Merlin" puzzle was the kicker and we worked that on the large dining room table! The lock box/key entry/alarm code could not have been simpler to use . Spacious garage for two cars, space for two more cars and easy trash can access. We didn't use the beach pass but I imagine that is a handy thing to have in the summer! I cannot recommend this property enough. When we return to arrowhead we will definitely be coming back here! We loved this house!
Peaceful Originally i booked this cabin for a family trip but it turned out to be just my fianace and my son going. The cabin is gorgeous and has all the ammenities you will need. I relaxed on the balconys enjoying the view and fresh air. We took walks and enjoyed the peace and quite. I am definately planning a reutrn trip, real soon!!
Best Summer Weekend GetawayFor the 2nd year in a row, a large group of friends took a long weekend getaway to Lake Arrowhead. This year, we were lucky enough to be able to book the Yellowstone Lodge. This house is 1. gigantic 2. well stocked 3. wonderful. There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. There are large dining tables inside and outside, so it's great for group meals and games. There are plenty of dishes and every kitchen gadget you could want. And, the house comes with 2 passes to a local private beach! Each pass includes 6 people, so your whole group can enjoy the the lake. Not to mention the fact that there is a fooseball table, a pool table, and a ping pong table. You cannot be bored here. The views off of the top deck are absolutely divine - great for morning coffee or a cocktail at dusk. We had the best time and will definitely book this house again next summer.
We had a great fall getaway in this HUGE cabin! Our group of friends takes a trip to Big Bear every year, but this year we decided to switch it up and try Lake Arrowhead and we are so glad we did. The town was adorable, and unlike Big Bear it was RIGHT on the lake. As a bonus, Oktoberfest was going on, which was a lot fun. The cabin was huge! So much space inside and out. We loved every second of our stay here and will be coming again! It's a perfect place for a weekend getaway or even full week vacation for a large family or group. The company we booked through, Lake Arrowhead Retreats, was super friendly and helpful. Grant emailed me back within minutes every time I had a question. The only downfall is the persons limit (10 person max). The place has plenty of space for at least 12 people, and we wish we could have brought a few more. They say it's a city ordinance, but still a bummer.
nice quiet house beautiful view from balcony We had great time with my family and friends. Big clean house has everything you need a couple of miles from shopping center. We are planning to return this summer and spend some time next to the lake.
Great cabin in the local mountains for extended family stay. Arrowhead Retreats runs a very efficient company with some roomy, clean homes to rent for mountain getaways. We have stayed twice now in two different cabins and both experiences were comfortable and relaxing with plenty to do and space to share with large families. Grant is very helpful and the list of properties is long. Highly recommend working with this company as they care about your stay.
Great Family Getaway Arrowhead retreat was a quick getaway in the mountains that felt like a real departure from busy city norm. It was a pleasant interruption for our extended family, a chance to spend quality, relaxed, family time together. With its number of rooms, ping-pong table, balcony overlooking the lake, open kitchen - the lodge layout helped create family memories we will never forget. We would like to come back again this year.
We had a fantastic time at the Yellowstone Lodge over Thanksgiving weekend. Grant and Judy were excellent hosts--the house was exactly as described and a great place to stay. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen (which was big enough for us to cook a holiday meal,) fireplace, balconies and pool table. The rooms were comfortable and the house was big enough that six of us could spread out easily.As a nice touch, Grant and Judy had left a Thanksgiving table setup for us, with place-mats and decorations. Really classy.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Yellowstone Lodge this past week. There was just a light dusting of snow when we arrived and all roads were very safe. Upon arrival the house we clean overall, except for the carpet in the upstairs living space. It appeared that they just cleaned up Xmas decorations and there were green plastic needles everywhere and no vaccum or broom to speak of. After sending an email to the Grant a vaccum arrived and all was good. The house is great - we are a family of three (with 2 yr old) and shared with one other family of three (with 3 yr old). There was great space for us all to relax and enjoy. We are looking forward to returning again next year - thank you Grant and Judy for a nice vacation!
The house was wonderful and exactly as described! Grant sent a detailed pdf of info and instructions for us and the stay was amazing! I would go there again and again!
Everything was as expected and we look forward to many more trips to Lake Arrowhead.
We visited for a quick weekend getaway with our two small children and family dog. The cabin is huge, comfortable, and has a nice variety of amenities. The owners made everything about the stay easy and worry-free. Great for a family vacation!

For the 2nd year in a row, a large group of friends took a long weekend getaway to Lake Arrowhead. This year, we were lucky enough to be able to book the Lakeview Lodge.

There are plenty of dishes and every kitchen gadget you could want. And, the house comes with 2 passes to a local private beach!

It was wonderful and I definitely want to come back. When we first walked in with a lot of kids and parents, we were so happy and extactic with everything but mostly the bunk room. We were on the nice big deck a lot were cozy watching a movie by the fireplace. We also loved all the activities like the pool table, ping pong and so much more. Thanks again!
This was the perfect place to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. We were able to include the whole family and make a great weekend of it…eating together, going on walks, playing games and bird watching after breakfast. Thank you for use of the Lodge. We'd love to come back someday.
This was like coming home to the lake from the moment we walked in. We had an amazing weekend. Thanks for letting your home be our home.
Thank you for the epic house! I like the ping pong table and the foosball table. Thanks for the awesome house!
Thank you for the awesome house! I really loved the foosball table and the ping pong table. The rooms were nice, especially the lower level bunk room. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the lovely house! We loved how you had a pool table and the ping pong table. Thank you so much!
This house was absolutely perfect and amazing beautiful layout and decor that made the house feel some homey. Dinner and breakfast on the patio was spectacular. The bunk bed room was like a huge sleepover party for all my nieces and nephews. Thank you so much!
The home is comfy and relaxing. Decor is great and well stocked. I came with my 4 children…19, 14, 8, 7 and three of their friends 20, 19, 19 and they really enjoyed the freedom and separateness of the game room and large TV! My little ones loved the bunk beds. The crickets at night are so peaceful. It was very hot during our stay but we felt at home and peaceful.
Thank you so much for a wonderful family getaway. Your home is amazing, our teenage and adult children were in awe when they arrived. Some favorites were the billiard pool table, the huge bunk beds, spacious room and wonderful decor. Thank you again - we will be back!
Great location, clean and beach passes a bonus!
What at wonderful vacation it was. The home is perfect - our girls loved the bunk beds. Dinner on the patio was beautiful. We'll have lots of memories to go home with. Thank you!
Great 4th of July Celebration!
Grant and Judy - thank you for a great 4th of July celebration. Great fun and great friends. The kids had a blast and can't wait to come back again.
Thanks Grant and Judy! We had a great time…thank you forever on everything. We had a great experience and a great 21st birthday.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! When we arrived the kids rushed toward the pool and foosball tables and stayed there for hours. The adults enjoyed the lovely decks and the peace and quiet. The Tavern Bay Beach Club was lovely and the kids enjoyed the splashing carp. We loved it!
Thanks Grant and Judy! Our family had an amazing time. Great family time. The Tavern Bay Beach Club was awesome. We will be back!
When the 10 of us arrived at your beautiful home, my grandchildren raced downstairs and they enjoyed the game room for 3 days. With the children downstairs, it made it especially nice for the adults to enjoy the upper level. We felt the home was very warm and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with our family. We'll be back. Cheers!
Perfect for our family and friends!
Thank you so much for the relaxing stay. This cabin is perfect for our family and friends. We hope to be back in the winter. We fell in love with Lake Arrowhead and prefer it over Big Bear. The beds were so comfortable. We enjoyed having TV's on both levels for the kids and adults. The boys wished they would be played pool more, but they mostly enjoyed bar-b-queing and relaxing on the decks. The kids enjoyed time at the Village and playing down in the bunk room. Thanks again for a great stay!
Add Review for Yellowstone Lodge - Great for entertaining with game room/wet bar!


The Securities and Exchange Commission, which governs investing and trading stocks, is proposing an update that will enable crowdfunders to more easily sell shares in their companies.
Currently, entrepreneurs starting a company can crowdfund, but only by offering products or services in exchange for contributions. That's due to an SEC rule that forbids the marketing of "private securities," Econ 101 for shares that do not trade on a public exchange, such as the NASDAQ or NYSE.
The SEC is proposing to amend that rule, which will allow sites like Fundable to publicly offer and solicit the sale of actual shares in companies in exchange for investments. That's in recognition of President Obama's JOBS act of 2011, which was intended to open up investment opportunities for startups.

Unions pay tribute to Nelson Mandela
Australian unions are today mourning the death of Nelson Mandela, a towering figure of the twentieth century and an inspirational figurehead for equality and justice across the globe.
"Today, the world has lost a truly great man whose dignity, humanity and courage is an inspiration to all of us," said ACTU President Ged Kearney.
"He was a champion to millions around the world and will not be forgotten but will stand as a reminder that wrongs in the world can be overturned though perseverance and a determination that righteousness should prevail.
"He was a towering figure of Africa's struggle for freedom; a man of peace who became a hero for freedom and equality during his 26 years of imprisonment by the South African Apartheid regime.
"His stature only grew in subsequent years when he unified South Africans and led his nation through reconciliation."
Ms Kearney said Australian unions were immensely proud to have supported Nelson Mandela and the campaign against Apartheid.
"Apartheid in postwar South Africa was an immoral denial of basic human rights and democracy," Ms Kearney said.
"Nelson Mandela will always be remembered for his leadership in bringing apartheid to an end and international unions are proud to have played a part in the fight – giving unstinting support to the ANC and victims of apartheid for decades.
"The maritime unions in particular played a crucial role by enforcing and organising sanctions against the Apartheid government.
"Unions quickly recognised that Nelson Mandela was not a terrorist but a freedom fighter, not just for South Africans but for all oppressed people around the world. The role played by the Hawke Labor Government in co-ordinating and leading international diplomatic efforts to end Apartheid must also be recognised."
When Nelson Mandela visited Australia in 1990, soon after his release from Robben Island prison in 1990, the ACTU hosted a welcome for him at the Melbourne Town Hall, where he acknowledged and thanked Australian unions for being one of the first groups to give support in overcoming Apartheid.
From the 1960s up until 1990 Australian unions organised and enforced trade and shipping boycotts alongside official sanctions of South Africa, formed links with black African trade unions, particularly the peak organisation, COSATU, and helped establish and fund the ANC's office and representative in Sydney.
The ACTU's overseas aid organisation, Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA, was a leading agency in supporting the democratic movement, including providing assistance to the ANC during the Apartheid years and later helping those in exile to return during the transition to democracy.
Ms Kearney said Mr Mandela's courageous leadership would not be forgotten and would live on long after he was gone.

Israeli army destroys incomplete tunnel from Gaza
SrsTeam December 11, 2017
Bringing you the latest trending news from the world.
What is happening in our world? Who is doing what? what is going on now? These are questions that will be answered. Enjoy.
Dec. 10 (UPI) — Israel's army announced Sunday it destroyed an incomplete tunnel from Gaza that stretched into Israeli territory.
Israel Defense Forces spokesman Jonathan Conricus said the tunnel originated in the city of Khan Younis, was more than half a mile long and stretched "hundreds of meters" into Israeli territory.
"We monitored this tunnel for a long period of time," he said.
Conricus described the tunnel as "very substantial", saying it contained communication systems, air vents, electricity and reinforced concrete structure.
He added intelligence indicated the tunnel belonged to Hamas, the militant organization that controls Gaza, but no Israeli military personnel or civilians were considered at risk and there was no exit point at the time it was destroyed.
"We see this as a severe violation of Israeli sovereignty," Conricus said. "We hold the Hamas terrorist organization responsible twice. Once, because it is responsible for the Gaza Strip, and any act of violence that emanates from the Gaza Strip is under Hamas responsibility. And, second, because this is a Hamas terror tunnel."
This was the second tunnel destroyed using a new system to detect, expose and destroy tunnels in the past six weeks.
The IDF used explosives to destroy another tunnel from Gaza on Oct. 30, killing at least seven Palestinians.
Explosives were not used to destroy the latest tunnel and no deaths were reported.

Seaflow's range of silicone rubber hose has been specifically developed for use in coolant, heating and turbocharger systems. The flexible silicone hose is particularly designed for carrying water and anti-freeze and also has good resistance to oil splashing, although it is not generally intended to transfer oils or fuels. Combining this with high performance materials and construction, as well as hose flexibility, the Seaflow range of silicone hose is an ideal and reliable replacement for engine coolant and heater hose. It is also suitable for use as a flexible joint between rigid pipes or anywhere where the silicone construction is more beneficial to rubber.
Flexible silicone hose lengths are made from plied silicone which have been reinforced with polyester, making it extra strong. It is highly resistant to oxygen, ozone, water, sunlight and UV radiation, and also offers excellent resistance to compression. The hose has high electrical insulation qualities and is also very reliable working in extreme low and extreme high temperatures. These properties make silicone hose compliant to SAE J20 R1 (Class A), meaning it is perfect for use in the marine industry.
These are straight lengths of flexible silicone hose available in blue and red, as well as a wide range of bore sizes.


This course is suitable for learners that hold a Level 2 qualification in the subject, or equivalent.
GCSE English and Maths is an advantage, but you must hold a Level 2 qualification in Beauty Therapy. You'll take part in a group interview, where you'll be able to ask questions after the course has been discussed. This is followed by a one to one interview.

Realistic sounds of predator bird, bird in distress, and barking dog.
Motion sensor effective to 15 metres.
Plugs into standard socket, 10 metre extension cable included.
A - Barking Dog, great for birds landing in a garden. Barking dog sound can be effective against large birds, crows, seagulls, magpies etc. It is also an effective intruder alarm, as the sound is very realistic and scary if you don't know what it is.
B - Hawk, ideal for smaller birds. The sound of a predator (hawk) can scare smaller birds into believing they are in danger of being attacked.
C - Distress signal, birds think there is a bird being attacked.
D - All sounds, repeated in sequence.
Second, set the switch to activate the repelling sounds every 5 minutes, every 10 minutes, or whenever animal motion is detected (PIR).
