›General›Help 14 Year Old Ben with Cerebral Palsy to Become a YouTube Star
August 24, 2018| Natasha | General
This Story of the Month has been written by Ben, a 14 year old boy with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy from Malvern in Worcestershire. He has recently started his own YouTube channel and would love to be a big YouTube star.
I enjoy four-a-side wheelchair football, which I play once a month at Villa Park in Birmingham. I really love making content for my YouTube channel, which I have started recently with my tutor Sarah. I like my food – particularly cakes and chocolate – and I love going out with my family, seeing my Nan and generally being sociable.
I was first diagnosed with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy when I was a month old. At first, the doctors thought I wouldn't ever be able to feed myself or even talk. I surprised everyone when I started to talk! My mum, dad and I have worked really hard to get me to where I am today. I'm semi-independent and can do lots of things that other teenagers do such as going shopping, playing video games, some reading and I am even writing my own book!
What inspired you to create your own YouTube channel?
I wanted to get my message out there. Nothing is impossible if you try hard enough. I record quality content for my channel around every two weeks about various subjects that are important to me. I want people to know that if I can do it, so can they. I have overcome so many obstacles in my life: people thought I wouldn't be able to talk, but now I talk to give a positive message to others. I watched other YouTubers talking about the things that they're passionate about and I wanted to do the same. I've got nearly 100 subscribers now but my goal is to get 10,000 subscribers by the end of 2019. I think I can do it! I'd love readers to check out my channel and subscribe: just search Ben Gannon (not the cyclist!).
What's the biggest challenge you've faced as someone with Cerebral Palsy?
Sometimes I can feel quite down. I can get frustrated at school if I have a hard day and everything can feel like a roller coaster. I have felt really good lately as my YouTube channel is going well and I'm enjoying making content. My cerebral palsy affects my arms and legs so I have help to do lots of tasks like getting dressed and going to bed. But I have some really good equipment such as my chair and my lift – which I have just reviewed on my latest YouTube video! – And this means I can do a lot more for myself, which is great.
What do you love most about Ben? (for Mum)
Ben always puts 100 % in to everything he does. He doesn't moan (only when the chocolate supplies are low) but he is genuinely a gorgeous lad. Ben loves his family and he is the most relaxed and happiest when surrounded by familiar people. Ben loves a bit of banter and will take the mick out of me regularly. He is always willing to tell people my embarrassing moments, that's not what I love about him, but he is very funny. The characters he has used in his book shows his sense of humour, such as the seagull that tweets on twitter all day. He is such a role model for other kids. I love that he his enjoying the YouTube channel, we are keen for him to have an impact of others and have something of meaning to do with his life.
Do you have any YouTube idols that you look up to?
I love watching Jacksepticeye videos because he promotes a positive mental attitude and reviews video games – both of which are close to my heart! He also has 20 million subscribers, which is something I aspire to have! I also like PewDiePie, who makes really funny videos and has even more subscribers – he has 65 million! Sumara Redway is another favourite because she makes really cool, genuine gaming videos. I watch a lot of Typical Gamer's videos too as he is funny and makes good Fortnite videos.
Can you tell us about 3 things that make you smile? Or the things you're most grateful for?
I am grateful for life and because I am happy. Making videos makes me happy. I have fun doing it and love to share my message with other people. I love to read the comments people make on my videos and to engage with viewers. People have left really genuine comments and have said that my videos make them smile, which really makes me smile!
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I decided in December that I wanted to learn to read better mainly because I wanted to text my friends and read my messages from them. I'd been covering up the fact that my reading wasn't great for quite a number of years and had been guessing words and lip reading instead of reading the actual words. I decided to get a tutor and immediately I made loads of progress. We were looking for books for me but realised quite quickly that there was nothing suitable for people in my age group who are just starting to learn to read. I know I'm not the only teenager who is in this position! I am 14 and not really interested in Biff and Chip… so I decided, if I couldn't find a suitable book, I would write my own! I worked with my tutor to develop a character called Bob The Fish. He is quite complicated: he's jealous, funny, and materialistic and has some very interesting relationships with his friends!
I have written one short book about Bob the Fish and am now on my. I've been talking about him in my videos and people have been really interested in hearing more about the book! Who knows: I could be the next Roald Dahl!
Help Ben chase his dreams by subscribing to his YouTube channel where you can also learn more about him.

Sean Spicer will NOT be bringing his dancing talents — or lack thereof — to the "Dancing with the Stars" ballroom … TMZ reports.
Sources close to Spicer tell TMZ the former White House Press Secretary was flattered by the opportunity, but because he believes he'll have an "overwhelming number of commitments in the Fall," he declined the offer.
That hasn't stopped plenty of other celebrities, but we're told Sean just didn't think he had the time it would require. So, no D.C. two-stepping on 'DWTS' this season.

Shakespeare's Lost Plays
You are here: Home1 / Shakespeare Plays2 / Shakespeare's Play Types3 / Shakespeare's Lost Plays
The canon of Shakespeare's plays is not a clear, cut-and-dried list. Shortly after the writer's death what is known as the First Folio was printed. We know, now, that he wrote several plays that were not included in that volume – plays that are often referred to as Shakespeare's 'lost plays'.
Some scholars believe that in addition to the thirty-seven or thirty-eight plays that are usually attributed to Shakespeare he may have written that many again that aren't. It's hard to believe that any writer could produce so many plays of such quality in such a short writing life but Shakespeare demonstrated that he could: during 1596 and 1597, for example, he wrote The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Richard II, Romeo and Juliet and some sonnets. And possibly also a play or two that have been lost. It's not beyond the realms of credibility, therefore, that Shakespeare wrote some thirty-five or so 'lost plays' that we have never heard of.
List of Shakespeare's Lost Plays
By their very nature very little is known of Shakespeare's lost plays, and this list should likely be much longer… but sadly the below two plays are Shakespeare's only 'lost plays' there we're aware of.
Cardenio
Love's Labour Won
Those two titles were mentioned in various sources. Love's Labour Won is included as a play by Shakespeare in a list collated by Francis Meres in 1598. It might have been an alternative title for one of the plays that we know about, however. Some scholars argue that it is an alternative title for Much Ado About Nothing and some argue that it is a sequel to Love's Labours Lost. Or it could just be lost. The History of Cardenio is a play based on a character in Cervantes' novel, Don Quixote. There is a report of its having been performed by The King's Men in 1613, but not attributed to any writer. It was later attributed to William Shakespeare and John Fletcher in a Stationers' Register entry of 1653. But it was not included in the First Folio and there is no sign of any manuscript.
One of the remaining First Folio's – missing Shakespeare's lost plays
Careful scholarship over the years, especially in modern times, has identified some known plays that were not initially thought of as being the work of Shakespeare. We know, now, that Shakespeare collaborated with other writers on plays that were initially attributed to those other writers. We know, too, that the collaboration runs deep. The use of computer programs helps scholars to identify sections of dramas that were written by Shakespeare. We have to distinguish between the collaborations and the lost plays as the collaborations are not lost and can still be staged (though there may of course be further lost collaborations).
An eighteenth-century writer, Lewis Theobald, wrote a play, Double Falsehood, and staged it in London in 1728. He claimed that he had based it on three manuscripts of a play by Shakespeare titled Cardenio or The History of Cardenio. Modern scholars have performed a textual analysis of Double Falsehood, including the use of computers, and it seems that much of the text is, indeed, Shakespeare, and some is John Fletcher.
So what are we to make of that? Has the lost play, Cardenio, been found? We're not sure but we can't dismiss it any more simply as a lost play as we have to take the up-to-date scholarship using state of the art technology seriously.

The EU's ineffective climate diplomacy post-Paris
European Union, Global February 22 2016
The Council's conclusions at last year's COP21 conference are a missed opportunity to remedy some of the weaknesses of the Paris agreement on climate change, writes Lucas Bergkamp.
At a meeting last week, the Council adopted conclusions on "European climate diplomacy after COP21." This self-congratulatory document celebrates the EU's diplomatic success in Paris and suggests that more of the same will move the climate agenda forward. According to the Council, the EU-led "High Ambition Coalition" could secure "timely signature, swift ratification, and full implementation by all parties of the Paris Agreement."
There is nothing in the conclusions, however, that could help to resolve the collective action problem that resulted in the Paris Agreement's huge disparity between collective ambition and individual obligation.
While the agreement's objectives are clearly ambitious, very little in the agreement is "legally binding." At the US government's insistence, the Paris agreement was rather conceived as a set of generic political commitments. So it is hard to see in what sense the mere repetition of prior commitments, dressed up with an even more ambitious and more unattainable objective, marks a "decisive turning point towards comprehensive and collective global action," as the Council suggests.
With respect to the EU's climate diplomacy action in 2016, the Council approves the development of an action plan focused around three main strands:
Maintaining climate change advocacy as a strategic priority in diplomatic dialogues, public diplomacy and external policy instruments;
Supporting implementation of the Paris Agreement and the intended nationally determined contributions (INDC), in the context of low-emission and climate-resilient development;
Increasing efforts to address the nexus of climate change, natural resources, including water, prosperity, stability and migration.
While the first two strands are unsurprising and bland, the third one raises the spectre of climate change being drawn into broader social programs. Indeed, according to the Council, "the EU and member states' development cooperation with third countries should fully take into account the existing synergies between climate objectives and the sustainable development goals as adopted by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development."
The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which reads like a high school 'social justice' project, sets out 27 goals, of which the fight against climate change is one, listed in 13th place among such other goals as fighting poverty and reducing inequality. This approach will backfire in at least two ways.
First, it will render climate action less effective, because it will have to serve many masters. Second, it will deprive climate action of its objective, science-based, and neutral aura, and subject it to the forces of political polarisation. This will fuel the suspicion that climate action is an ideological battle, not a scientific one. The EU's substantial financial commitments towards developing countries will only further reinforce this suspicion.
Unfortunately, the Council's position on the relation between climate change and international security further diminishes its credibility. Underlining the need to address the direct and indirect international security impacts of climate change, the Council recommends that the EU address "the potentially destabilising effects of climate change (including on migration, food security, reliable access to resources, water and energy, spread of epidemic disease, and social and economic instability)."
The EU would do better to focus its efforts solely on combatting climate change; immigration policy, for instance, is a politically charged and divisive subject that should not be blended with climate policy.
In short, the Council's conclusions are a missed opportunity to remedy some of the weaknesses of the Paris agreement. Apparently, the Council believes, against all odds, that more of the same is required in the fight against all evil and against all odds. If the EU pursues this policy, it will likely adversely affect its credibility and the public's confidence in EU policies, while increasing the influence of activist groups to the detriment of other constituencies, thus aggravating the democratic deficit.
National parliaments should firmly reject this approach. Instead, they should insist on a plan that addresses the Paris agreement's inherent weakness, i.e. its lack of obligations binding on individual countries, and a plan that will result in equivalent, although not necessarily equal, efforts by non-EU countries.
If no such plan is feasible, there is a serious question as to whether the Paris agreement has a future. The EU should therefore aim for more than vague climate diplomacy. It should establish a process aimed at creating a level playing field. Any such process needs to be sufficiently modest and pragmatic to garner political support, and sufficiently flexible so that new knowledge can be reflected.

When a Quester from San Fransico, CA, moved to Arkansas in 1970, she gathered together some of her new friends and formed Quapaw Chapter #519 in the Little Rock area. By 1977 there were five more chapters: Fairfield Bay #800; Petit Jean #819; La Petit Roche #822; Clara B. Eno #830; and Arkopolis #867. Now, in 2013, there are fourteen chapters throughout the state.
On May 2, 1980, Arkansas' chapters became an "Organized Quester State", with the first state-wide meeting held in Little Rock. The National President brought the State Quester Charter to the meeting and installed the first State officers.
Over the years, chapters have been formed and dissolved, but Arkansas' first chapter, Quapaw, is still meeting and actively supporting not only their local and state preservation and restoration projects, but the goals of The Questers International as they have for 43 years!
Our Mission is Simple…to assist and support, through fellowship and action, the efforts of The Questers, an international non-profit organization, and individuals with an interest in the research and study of antiques, historic preservation and restoration, and education.
The city of Fairfield Bay is tucked away in the central mountains of Arkansas (about 2 hours north of Little Rock and about 1 hour from Missouri's southern border). Beautiful Greer's Ferry Lake is our backyard playground.
Davis Special Chapter was chartered on February 21, 1991 at the home of Norma Miller. The Charter members were Dorothy Ball, Billie Covelli, Elda Gerndt, Maxine Hall, LaVon Hedges, Ruth Long, Norma Miller, Jacola Newton, Ollie Shelton and Melvis Sutton.
The group meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 1:00. Please call Janet Small at 884- 3023 if you have any questions or would like to join this group. Through the years their main Preservation & Restoration project has been to help with the upkeep of Davis Special School, but recently we also started make regular donations to the Log Cabin Museum in Fairfield Bay. The latest project for both Fairfield Bay Quester groups was for signage at the Indian Thong Tree at Woodland Mead Park in Fairfield Bay. Indian tribes in this area pioneered trails and secretly marked certain trees in the forest to point to areas that had water sources, caves that provided shelter and safety, and other points of interest to them.
to appreciate antiques, to educate through research and study and to support the preservation and restoration of historical landmarks.
The group meets the 4th Monday of the month, 1:00 p.m. Please call 501-884-6339 for current meeting location, as it changes each month.
Our current project is the Fairfield Bay Log Cabin…Two log cabins, built in the mid 1850's with hand-hewn logs chinked with mud and straw, were saved from destruction when they were moved during the 1950's, from what is now the middle of Greer's Ferry Lake. As the US government prepared to build a dam site there, the cabins were disassembled and re-built using cement instead of chinking materials. The smaller of the two cabins was placed in Fairfield Bay, with a fireplace constructed from local stone and a mantle of rosewood, walnut and pine.

The Dot Line 5-Function Intervalometer for Canon 60E3 for 70D, 60D, T4i, T3i allows you to set a self-timer to your camera on a fixed location and shoot a picture on a selected time.
The time-lapse feature can be set to any time period up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. Example: If you set the time-lapse to 60 minutes, one exposure will be taken every 60 minutes until either the space on the memory card is filled or the programmed number of exposures has been reached.
The long exposure function allows an exposure up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.
This setting allows the setting of the number of exposures that will be taken up to a total of 399 images. Example: if set to 10, the camera will take 10 shots.
Just like the self-timer on the camera but with a much longer possible delay, up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.
Can be used as a standard wired shutter release, and when used during the operation of another function (except long exposure), it will not affect the other functions.

Q: Creating Affine for 2D Linear Transformation of Fixed Bounding Box I am currently trying to create an Affine which can transform data from longitude and latitude to a custom CRS that a client is using. Unfortunately the person who originally made this CRS has left and they have no metadata relating to their custom coordinate system.
They have provided me a number of points with coordinates in both their custom CRS and longitude and latitude. They have told me it is a true projected coordinate system and I have managed to identify a local CRS which is fairly close to it.
Currently I am manually trying to calculate the rotation and stretching for the Affine manually.
Are there any quick methods available when the fixed corners of each grid are known?

A: I wrote a module in Python that may help you: https://github.com/gabriel-de-luca/simil
With it, you can find the transformation parameters for a similarity transformation. It can scale by the same factor in all directions, rotate, and translate. So it can't scale each axis independently and doesn't skew the axes.
The transformation may be useful to better approximate the customized system to the projected one, since both are Cartesian systems. It cannot be used to relate a Cartesian system to a geographic one. In that case, a conversion to geocentric Cartesian coordinates is necessary.
It works with three-dimensional points, but you can fill the third dimension with zeros to work in 2-D.
I haven't written tutorials yet, but I do have some usage examples, which I hope are clear enough to you. In any case, you can ask me for clarification on its use.
You can use as many control points as you like, including assigning a different weight to each one. The solution is the one that best suits all of them.

YEREVAN. – The authorities of Armenia are preparing the structural changes to the future government, Hraparak (Square) newspaper reported.
"According to our sources in the government, they have decided to reduce the number of ministries, (…), [and] to downsize the departments whose functions are repeated, or are very similar to one another.
"It is about joining the Social Security and the Health Ministries, the Sport-Youth [Affairs] and the Culture Ministries, [and] making the Diaspora Ministry a 'branch' of the MFA [the Ministry of Foreign Affairs].
"There will be shifts in the power blocks too.
"It is spoken about leaving [solely] up to 8 or 10 ministries from the 18," Hraparak wrote.

Insurance Commissioner Causey calls for hearing to resolve homeowners' rate case
By Barry Smith
RALEIGH –North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey has set Sept. 20, 2021, as the hearing date for the North Carolina Rate Bureau's proposed 24.5% homeowners' insurance rate increase.
"The data in the filing has not convinced me that such a drastic increase is necessary," said Commissioner Causey. "My goal is to find a rate that will make financial sense for our residents and keep our insurance companies healthy enough to pay claims."
The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in the Second Floor Hearing Room in the Albemarle Building, 325 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh.
The hearing will be held unless the N.C. Department of Insurance and the N.C. Rate Bureau are able to negotiate a settlement before that date. State law gives the Insurance Commissioner 45 days to issue an order once the hearing concludes. Once the order is issued, the NCRB has the right to appeal the decision before the N.C. Court of Appeals. A Court of Appeals order could then be appealed to the N.C. Supreme Court.
The NCRB and DOI can negotiate a settlement at any time during litigation.
The NCRB filed the average 24.5% homeowners' increase Nov. 9. The filing covers insurance for residential property, tenants, and condominiums at varying rates around the state. Under the NCRB proposal, the increases would be felt statewide with most homeowners seeing a 25% increase.
The NCRB, which is not a part of the Department of Insurance, represents insurers that write the state's homeowners' policies.
The NCDOI held a public comment forum both in person and via WebEx regarding the NCRB rate filing on Dec. 10. The department also received more than 6,500 emailed comments on the proposed rate increase.
The last NCRB homeowners' rate filing was in December 2018 for a statewide average increase of 17.4%. Commissioner Causey negotiated a rate 13.4 percentage points lower, resulting in a statewide average increase of 4%.

By: IANS | July 4, 2017
The much-awaited biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt will release as scheduled in March 2018, says director Rajkumar Hirani in response to rumours that the film will clash with Salman Khan's movie on Eid next year.
Denying the buzz about a possible date shift for the film's release, Hirani said in a statement: "All these are baseless rumours. The film will release as per schedule in March 2018."
It is locked for release on March 30 next year.
There is immense anticipation regarding Hirani's directorial as he is turning to the cameras after his blockbuster hit "PK".
In the upcoming biopic, the filmmaker will be tracing Sanjay Dutt's life story. Actor Ranbir Kapoor will be seen donning six different looks in the film as he steps in to play Sanjay.
The biographical drama, written and directed by Hirani, is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The movie is part of a three-film deal signed by Fox Star Studios with Hirani and Chopra.

Middle East|Covering War at Home Costs a Yemeni His Life
Covering War at Home Costs a Yemeni His Life
By Shuaib Almosawa and Kareem Fahim
SANA, Yemen — For Almigdad Mojalli, a Yemeni journalist covering the civil war in his country, the trip early Sunday to the site of a deadly airstrike was another episode in what had long since become a painful routine.
Reporting on the war for the better part of a year, Mr. Mojalli, 35, documented countless scenes of trauma and destruction, even as the conflict was largely ignored by the outside world. His articles, on homes demolished by airstrikes or hospitals deprived of medicine, were published in American and British media.
He viewed the reporting as "humanitarian work," his brother, Abdullah Mojalli, said.
On Sunday, while on assignment for Voice of America, Mr. Mojalli traveled with colleagues outside the capital, Sana, to find witnesses to airstrikes that had killed at least 15 civilians last week. But when they arrived, warplanes with the Saudi-led military coalition began circling overhead, according to Abdulbari al-Sumaei, Mr. Mojalli's driver.
A bomb landed near Mr. Mojalli, spraying shrapnel into his stomach, neck and face, Mr. Sumaei said. After wrapping his wounds with a scarf, Mr. Mojalli's colleagues tried to get him medical attention, passing poorly stocked clinics that were unable to treat him, until they finally reached a hospital back in Sana.
By then, Mr. Mojalli was dead.
He had been among the dwindling number of journalists reporting on a conflict in urgent need of witnesses. Nearly a year after the war began between Houthi rebels and forces allied with the government of President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi, more than 80 percent of the country needs some form of humanitarian assistance, according to the United Nations.
The combatants seem increasingly uninterested in civilian tolls. The Houthis shell cities indiscriminately. The Saudi-led coalition, which entered the war on Mr. Hadi's behalf and has United States backing, routinely drops munitions on residential areas.
At least eight journalists or news media workers were killed covering the conflict last year, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. As the war has become more treacherous, foreign news organizations have relied on local journalists.
Voice of America said in a tribute that Mr. Mojalli had been reporting for the network since October. He had "sought to fight the humanitarian crisis in his country through truthful, heartbreaking reporting," the article said.
Mr. Mojalli, who was married and had a small son, wrote about the dilemmas Yemeni journalists faced, working and living in a war zone and juggling the job with worries for family and friends. In September, writing for IRIN, an international news service that focuses on humanitarian issues, he chronicled yet another strike. This time, the victims included relatives.
Before that attack, he had become desensitized, he said. "I've been to dozens of bomb sites," he wrote. "Every day, I wake up to hear that 10 people were killed last night, or 20, or 40. It almost stops feeling real."
The ordnance fell near where relatives slept. In the hospital, he saw the charred body of a cousin being wheeled to the morgue.
Bahir al-Sharabi, a photojournalist who was traveling with Mr. Mojalli on Sunday, said they had just started filming in Jarif, a resort that had been bombed by the Saudi-led coalition last week. As Mr. Sharabi started shooting, bombs fell, in exactly the same spot as they had the week before.
Shuaib Almosawa reported from Sana, and Kareem Fahim from Cairo.

Democrat Doug Jones beats Republican Roy Moore in Alabama, secures US Senate seat
Posted 9:36 pm, December 12, 2017, by CNN Wire, Updated at 10:24PM, December 12, 2017
Democrat Doug Jones has scored a stunning win against Republican Roy Moore to win the Senate seat in Alabama.
The dramatic win comes after allegations against Moore of sexually abusing teens and his history of controversial comments about women and minorities. It will be enough for a reliably red state to elect its first Democratic senator in a generation.

— The Associated Press (@AP) December 13, 2017
A Jones win will trim the Republican Senate majority to 51-49 and deals a major blow to President Donald Trump, who has backed Moore amid the national conversation over sexual misconduct.
MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL – DECEMBER 12: Democratic senatorial candidate Doug Jones speaks to reporters after voting at Brookwood Baptist Church on December 12, 2017 in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

Exit polls were virtually split as to whether voters believed the allegations against Moore: 49% said they were probably or definitely true while 45% said they were probably or definitely false. A majority of the electorate, 57%, decided who to support before news of Moore's alleged child molestation and sexual assault broke in November.

At Moore's election night party in Montgomery, supporters milled around nervously as a saxophone-playing ally's music blared and the New York Times' results page — scrolled down far enough to remove the newspaper's logo — was displayed on a projection screen.
Moore had entered the room to shake hands, but left without speaking. Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who has cast the race as a battle against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who withdrew his support for Moore after the sexual allegations, was also on hand.
Moore — following his Election Day tradition — arrived at his polling place with his wife, Kayla, on horseback in his hometown of Gallant. He told reporters that voters "ought to go out and vote their conscience, and we'll have a tremendous turnout."
Jones voted early Tuesday morning at Brookwood Baptist Church in Mountain Brook. Speaking with reporters, he cast the election as an opportunity for Alabama voters to reject the embarrassment that Moore — who's been ousted twice as state Supreme Court chief justice and has attacked LGBT Americans, Muslims and women — could bring the state.
Thank you ALABAMA!!
— Doug Jones (@GDouglasJones) December 13, 2017
"In Alabama we have come so far with too many things, and there is saying: 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.' Alabama is not going to let that shame happen again," he said.
The stakes are high for Trump — who has repeatedly endorsed Moore, campaigned in Florida just outside Alabama on Friday night and doesn't want to see the GOP's 52-48 majority trimmed at all.
"The people of Alabama will do the right thing. Doug Jones is Pro-Abortion, weak on Crime, Military and Illegal Immigration, Bad for Gun Owners and Veterans and against the WALL. Jones is a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet. Roy Moore will always vote with us. VOTE ROY MOORE!" Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning.
RELATED: Alabama race: Exit poll updates
There's much on the line for McConnell as well. McConnell withdrew support for Moore — which means the Senate Republican campaign arm and a super PAC that usually backs its candidates were nowhere to be found in the closing weeks in Alabama.
The exit poll showed that Trump's approval rating among Alabama voters is 47%. He's much more popular than McConnell, who is seen favorably by just 16% of voters.
It all takes place amid a broader national conversation about sexual misconduct. At the center of the Trump-McConnell split over Alabama is that McConnell said the allegations facing Moore are credible, while Trump — who faces allegations of sexual assault himself — cast doubt on Moore's accusers.

Alabama's other senator, Republican Richard Shelby, told CNN's Dana Bash on Tuesday that he didn't vote for Moore and it'll be up to GOP leadership to pursue an Ethics Committee investigation if Moore wins. Such a move could be the first step toward Moore's expulsion from the Senate.
"Well, I think that's up to the leadership and the Ethics Committee itself. They always look to anyone's fitness to serve in the Senate," Shelby said.
Turnout by race
Jones' campaign will benefit from high African-American turnout. Black voters made up 30% of the electorate, CNN's exit poll showed — higher than the 27% they comprised in the 2012 presidential election and above the marks the Jones campaign felt it needed to hit in order to have a chance. Of those black voters, 95% backed Jones, the exit poll showed.
But white voters, who overwhelmingly support Republicans in Alabama, didn't cross over at the rate the Jones campaign had hoped. Just 27% of white voters backed Jones, compared to 70% for Moore.
Moore won 59% of white college graduates and 78% of white non-college graduates, the exit poll showed.

It was very early Thursday morning when Global Gold, a 580-foot bulk cargo ship moored to the Port of Port Angeles' Terminal 3 to take on a load of debarked logs that are destined for China. Johnny Daquisto, a longshoreman whom I have gotten to know through the years, is the supercargo on the vessel. He saw me driving by the docks, waved me over and invited me aboard. Never one to turn down an opportunity to go aboard ship, off I went. But when he gave me a safety vest and a hard hat to wear, I was beginning to get concerned that I was going to be put to work. Anyone who has watched a log ship being loaded knows how physical and dangerous the work is. Both scenarios, I earnestly avoid.

As i saw in the mod, OKW is getting Panzerfusuliere, wich is perfecly fine but please reconsider the option of upgrading them for 120mun with 2 Panzerschrecks.
The problem is the spam, we are already seeing Panzergrenadiere(340MP) being spamed to deal with allied tanks and its really effective but a squad witch costs 250mp has 5 models and has the option for 2 Panzerschrecks is just really scary and is going to be spamed even more than Panzergrens!!!

If we learned anything from JLI it's that relic has learned nothing from previous balance failures. 235mp single Shrek volks was too strong and needed removed but 15mp more is good enough for another Shrek.
yeaah 250 MP and double shreks combo is highly spammable.
Possible fix: Increase MP to 350 and CP req to 3.
I'm so glad that we still got our panzerfusilier rework, thank you Relic, that helps alleviate the loss of Anti-Tank Tactics. I think the choice between Panzerschrecks or G43s is great, as it frees up Sturmpioneers to focus on repairing instead of being makeshift AT infantry. I was a little spooked when I saw squad size reduced to 5, but the G43 bringing it back to 6 is good. A 6 man squad with 2 Panzerschrecks is a little too strong. Smoke and Tactical movement are good. The Offensive package is another great change, now I can finally have my super strong infantry army. Would have liked to have the Offizier in it as well, but I'll take what I can get. If this gives Sturmpioneers flamethrowers too, that's even better. Lastly, the OKW tiger is good, as that was a selling point of this doctrine. I'm so glad that its command ability is tied to an ability that costs munitions and has a cooldown, as that should keep blobbing to a minimum. It is a great way to round off the OKW's armor.
As a side note about the OKW, I suggest you rework the Sturm Offizier in the same way, preferably from suggestion's I've made in previous posts (https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/245770/okw-all-sturm-offizier-reworked-suggestion) The gist of it is that the Offizier is less blobby and more useful with good micro.
235mp single Shrek volks was too strong and needed removed but 15mp more is good enough for another Shrek.
Available at 13 CPs as a callin.
Veterancy 4: 'Command Tiger' ability unlocked. Reduces weapon cooldoown by 25% and received accuracy by 20% for 30 seconds. 35 munitions. 25m radius.
Veterancy 5: Command Tiger ability reduces the reload of vehicles by 20% and the received accuracy of vehicles by 20%. Does not affect the Tiger.
During this ability, the tank will have reduced combat performance. Increases the Tiger's reload time by 40% and reduces accuracy by 30%.
Nice jobs you have done and thanks so much!
I have tried to use it several times tonight, while there are some bugs I have found as well as some ideas for reference.
OKW Tiger 'Command Tiger' ability now is invalid, no effects or consumption would happen after clicking it.
For the moment, both mp40s and a normal grenade are not that worthy as a single skill of a new commander. We could enhance it or replace it a little bit.
Enhancing job could be worked with lmg/ mp40s choices, which is be able to increasing VG's long range dps or short dps in later game, a little bit solving the no anti-infanty armor weakness of OKW in late games. Or we could replace it, with an Area-control Skill, like Light arti support; or with Stuka close air support, some area-clear skill to help with pushing.
4.The MP40s rework is really worth expecting. If firing rate and range could be modulated then the Feuersturm commander may even benefit from this.
Thanks for your work again!
This will for sure break the game.
2) Volksgrenadiers new upgrades and weapon buffed should make them cost more to keep the game balanced.
Proposal: Increase MP cost to both units to 270 and Pop cap by one.
Sorry all of this commanders just trash i laugh so hard when i see soviet paratroopers landing with smoke screen like ninjas ) Anyway all of them will be free no need to be best.
-Panzerfusillier are pretty broken in live game so on paper i don't really get the buff because they have more utility now and come sooner and are cheaper and still have g43's and 5/6 man squad! I feels bad for panzergrenadiers (kappa). Also funny they cost now as much as volks aka the other big issue of okw (witch are sadly untouched).
Also Breakthrought Doctrine get PF at cp2 so i guess you'll need at one point to bring it down to vet 0 in this doctrine as well to normalise units.
I just tried quickly for this one, i'll edit when i'll be able to use them more.
Edit: imo the second they get g43s you're back to crazy town. Their vet are problematic and could use a rework. I don't really test much here because they seems unchanged when it comes to stats.
-Tiger: Love the okw tiger 1 but it shoud be renamed command tiger i guess although command tiger 1 is a bit redundant with command panther while making a lot of command units for axis in team game (command p4/panther/tiger1) so maybe vet4 ability should be changed.
I hate it got speed buff tho really, i would have rather nerf top speed on all Heavies because those are very stong and versatile units.
I was able to call in both tiger 1 and tiger 2 witch should not happen. Because king Tiger is a super ability that apply to all commander i really wonder what is the point of tiger 1 aside of being able to call it and skip tech.
OKW commander lets you have KT and command tiger on same field!
As most people say the Panzerfüsiliers with double Shrek would be a game-breaker. Having a reasonably cheap and durable 5-man squad with 2!(!!!) Schrecks is ridiculous. I would propose we Give them 2x Panzerbüchse 39 from the Singleplayer instead and add some abilities. Update them (beef up their penetration and rate of fire etc.) and add a treadbreaker or target weakspot ability to it. It would suit the Füsiliers to fight mainly with Rifles, including AT rifles.
As for the rest of the droctrine, it seems fine, i like the OKW Tiger I a lot, tho the assault package without Pioneer flamers is a bit meager. if you do not want to use the exact same ability as Feuersturm you could add something else like a MG42 upgrade for Obers that gives them a button or defensive positioning ability like Guards (since they already get a surpression ability with veterancy).
Don't break the game giving them 2 Panzerschrecks . . . . this item already does massive amounts of damage and unlocking it for T0 infantry units seems disruptive.
Replace that upgrade with some Ptrs rifle or similar AT-rifles dealing damage over time for more balanced games.
Conscripts costing 250mp and having restrictions to unlock their AT-grenades don't even come close to this game breaker 260mp infantry unit with AT-grenades included until they upgrade their weapons to Panzerschrecks.
Can be upgraded with two Panzerschrecks for 120 munitions. Grants the ability to plant Teller mines, but disables ATG Grenades. Locks out G43s.
Giving cheap,5-man squad with 2 Panzerschrecks is too much.
It should be 1 Panzerschreck costing 60 munitions.
Just used this guy against my friend and holy crap does he have gamebreaking potential. There are actually a few issues with this commander. The first, is why on earth would you ever allow MP40's on volks with smoke grenades and then lower the cost of Fusiliers to volks price? This all the while setting Fusiliers at 0CP as well. I'd hardly say the fusiliers are fine or balanced for their cost effectiveness at the moment. The current OKW manpower float on top of their ability to already blob rather effectively makes this commander insanely powerful. On top of giving the fusiliers 2 Panzerschrecks AND teller mines? Out of all 5 of these commanders this one is literally a recipe for the complete destruction of any kind of allied control in the beginning or mid game what so ever. Would hate to see the Americans try to play against this guy in his current condition. An important bug to note too is that if you call in a Tiger I first you can still purchase the Tiger II if you manage to save enough. Would dominate some folks in anything bigger than a 1v1. Might wanna check up on this one.
I do think Panzerfusilliers is a good idea, though 120munitions for two shrecks seems really powerful to someone, but it costs much and it is the only method which is effective to against panzer by infantry and with a commander especially! I do not understand why there are some people trying to compare it with those common infantry like conscripts, PIAT ones or US units, it makes no sense to compare like that. I believe if a commander could just bring a weak or ordinary unit to the field, then why the skill or the commander is worthful to chose? We choose a commander is to solve problems in the battlefield, breaking the status quo, finding a way out of a stalemate, especially for OKW, not to show multiple fancy unit characters right? Like Shocktroops, guards, paratroops, pathfinders and so on, what they are supposed to do, is mean to stab into the weak points of our enemies or enhance the shortcomings of ours, not to increase the total number of MP or hold the line. Besides, Panzerfusilliers would be not effective to against infantry when they have the munitions to carry two shrecks in middle and late games, which has plenty of middle and heavy tanks even, it is kind of balance already. If the unit could only behave ordinary, like non-commander units, hardly to manage his job, and even not that effective to solving the problems, then just kill this boring and tiresome unit please.
Another point is, is Panzergrenadiere really that spamed? If it was, how many players have used them to against Tanks or Panzers in official competitions? What's the price of the Panzergrenadiere to against panzers? The risk of dropping shrecks, losing manpower and even the whole squad to against Tanks, is really not that easy. Besides, Panzergrenadier is not a commander skilled unit, it is ordinary unit from middle tech base.
Can i propose some changes for the doctrine? Feedback would be nice.
[0 CP] Panzerfusilliers - Same stats/changes as of New commander mod.
Lvl 1 - Medkit drop instead or mantain first aid?
Lvl 4 - More squad durability? Some other bonus?
Lvl 5 - Stuka strafe? bomb drop? Pak 40/MG drop?
Reasoning: the sturm officer habilities mix well with the offensive theme of the doctrine, much more than giving volks SMGs IMO. It should replace the stuka smoke drop, you lose the global call in range and map view for it being free.
Same MP/fuel as the King tiger, 26 pop cap comes at vet 1 - 3 (up to debate for balance) same changes that are to be implemented, but has 5 vet levels, the first 3, same stats as the Wermacht ace, last 2 would be the OKW tiger command habilities.
I haven't found a good substitute for the Offensive Package, maybe should leave it as it is?
Maybe replace with Breaktrough? A cheap but very nice ability for capping ground and cutting off territory fits well with the theme.
Railway artilery or the LeFh would also fit the theme very well and would add for late game pushes, LeFh being particulary nasty with the Field officer. Or we could go the other way and give defensive fortifications or 221 armored car to secure territory already taken.
Upgraded Panzerfusillier are just dropping a single Panzerschreck after getting killed .
That's not a bug. It says "anti-tank gun squads", meaning the guys manning a Pak4 or a Raketenwerfer. Not the guys carrying a Panzerschreck.
> Upgraded Panzerfusillier are just dropping a single Panzerschreck after getting killed .
Weapon drops are never Guaranteed. They could do both and they could drop none. It's something like a 10% chance each of memory serves me right. Guards have a lower chance however due to how many they have.
I think Grand Offensives is a bit too powerful cause it just circumvents most OKW problems.
Your oponent is using early light vehicles, no problem. Panzerfusiliers have AT grenade from the start.
Your oponent is using suppression, no problem. You get smoke on Volksgrenadiers or Smoke recon.
Afraid your raketten will get circumvented? Just buy 2 Schrecks on Panzerfusieliers. Or go crazy and just spam Schrecks.
Want to spam light vehicles for most of the match or lost your SWS for tank production? Just take Tiger I,it is cheaper than dishing out 140 fuel for new SWS.
I mean, it is a blast to play with this commander, but I don't think the oponent will agree it was a fun match.

Senate passes defense bill, setting up veto showdown with Trump

Posted at 12:37 PM, Dec 11, 2020
The Senate has passed a defense spending bill that President Donald Trump has said he plans to veto, according to the Associated Press.
The National Defense Authorization Act passed the Senate with a 84 to 13 Friday. The annual bill affirms a 3% pay raise to U.S. troops and unlocks billions in military spending.
The bill passed despite an attempt from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, to filibuster the bill and delay its passage. Paul said Thursday he opposed the bill because it limited Trump's ability to withdraw troops from the Middle East before he leaves office.
Trump has threatened to veto the bill unless lawmakers include a provision that would remove Section 230 from the 1996 Communications Decency Act. That section protects tech companies from being sued for content that other people post on their website.
Conservative lawmakers have attacked the provision in recent years, saying that the protections have led social media conglomerates to develop a liberal bias on the social media sites. Proponents of the provision
say it upholds free-market values in the marketplace of information.
Congress is expected to override a potential veto from Trump. The House of Representatives easily passed the bill earlier this month with a vote of 335-78.

Academia Re-thinking Glyphosate's Toxicity
Monsanto's link to ghostwriting scientific glyphosate studies may have been covered up by hiring a third party to produce them
Monday, February 11, 2019 - In the light of new documents revealed at trial, academic publishers of glyphosate-related scientific studies are re-thinking them. According to Bloomberg, Critical Reviews in Toxicology, an academic journal, is questioning why the transparency requirements for the study's authorship were not met. "The journal's publisher said Wednesday it's issuing an Expression of Concern linked to the articles because the authors have been unable to provide an adequate explanation to why the required level of transparency was not met on the first submission." While stopping short of automatically disqualifying the study, the veneer of infallibility has been shattered and the study's authors will have to identify their relationship with Monsanto. The Journal has a policy that "any potential author conflicts must be disclosed," a policy similar to others in academia.
Monsanto is faced with almost 10,000 lawsuits that allege that glyphosate in Roundup herbicide caused non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and the core of their defense may be crumbling underneath them. Up until now, Monsanto's defense of glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup, has relied on what the company has called "hundreds of scientific studies showing glyphosate is safe for humans". Documents revealed at trial and those obtained using the Freedom of Information Act show that executives at Monsanto have known for decades that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, can contribute to the development of cancer in humans. These documents show that Monsanto manipulated scientific data to lie and defend glyphosate as being non-carcinogenic and safe for human consumption.
The documents tell a tale of corporate malfeasance and deception as the internal corporate paper trail calls into question the interpretations of scientific studies showing glyphosate as non-carcinogenic. The "Monsanto Papers" as they have come to be known, demonstrate that Monsanto "was involved" in the ghostwriting of interpretations of scientific data and pawned it off to academia as independent and objective analysis. Those academia-endorsed studies then made their way to the appropriate US government agencies such as the FDA who were tasked with formulating an opinion on glyphosate's safety. Monsanto Roundup lawyers claim that given the number of studies that have been published and the time Monsanto had to warn their consumers of the findings, the company is responsible for damages requested by plaintiffs who allege they contracted cancer as a result of using Roundup.
What is now coming to light is that Monsanto appears to have knowingly and willfully covered up their connection to the ghostwriters by, according to Bloomberg, "paying a consulting firm to develop the journal supplement entitled "An Independent Review of the Carcinogenic Potential of Glyphosate" to do them, providing the company with an alibi. In its defense, the company now claims that "no Monsanto employees or attorneys reviewed manuscripts submitted to the journal." Monsanto does not, however, claim that they may have paid an outside firm to do so.
As a result of these revelations, plaintiffs are now armed with the truth about Monsanto and Roundup herbicide. The California judge in charge of the next round of glyphosate trials in the state has ruled that evidence of Monsanto's corporate manipulation of science can be presented to jurors in the first phase of the trial that focuses jurors attention on whether or not glyphosate contributes to causing cancer.

Pirate Bay's Plans Too Clever By Half: Arbitrage Consumer Bandwidth
from the this-looks-like-a-mess dept
Thu, Jul 16th 2009 4:43pm — Mike Masnick
There's a bunch of news coming out about the sale of The Pirate Bay to GGF, though it's still not making very much sense, I'm still wondering if the deal will really happen. However, it appears that GGF has started working with Wayne Ross, who ran Grokster and Mashboxx, in an attempt to get him to negotiate with the labels. In an interview, he more or less reveals GGF's plans for The Pirate Bay.
Basically, you'll have to pay to leech, but the more resources you "contribute" to the system, the less you'll have to pay, and if you contribute enough resources/bandwidth, then you might actually make some money. Then, on top of that, they believe that some content providers/ISPs will pay for offloading their bandwidth. That explains some of the earlier statements made by GGF. In theory, the idea is that it makes everyone happy. Those who pay for bandwidth on hosting content can pay a lot less. Users who contribute bandwidth end up getting free content (or potentially even making some money). And, of course, the content owners get paid.
Except... that idyllic picture starts to break down when you start to run through the details. The second the paywall goes up, an awful lot of users will abandon The Pirate Bay for friendlier non-barrier-happy sites. That takes away pretty much the entire advantage of The Pirate Bay to make this work. Even the appeal of potentially making money probably won't attract enough users. Second problem? There's no way the economics works out nicely on this one. We've already seen the sort of ridiculous rates that the RIAA wants to charge for individual streams/downloads of music. Put those numbers into this model and start doing the math... and start laughing. There's no way that much money comes into the system. None.
Finally, it leaves out an important party who clearly will not like this setup at all -- even if all the rest of it works: consumer ISPs. The real "ingenious" part of the plan appears to be that some content hosters/service providers are effectively pushing bandwidth costs away from themselves, and dumping them on retail ISPs, who offer flat-rate connections. So the real "costs" are hidden in the typical flat-rate plans of ISPs.
It's effectively a sneaky arbitrage play, whereby The Pirate Bay tries to aggregate all the unused flat-rate ISP bandwidth, and wholesale it to others, paying copyright holders in cash, and downloaders in free/cheap content. But the ISPs whose bandwidth is getting used don't get paid, meaning they're more likely to push back even more against unlimited connection plans. I just can't see how this works.
Oh, right, in the meantime, it's not clear the recording industry has any interest in playing along. They're already demanding that cash from the sale go to them, rather than the founders. Of course, that's a bit misguided, since the founders no longer own The Pirate Bay, having handed the ownership over to others in 2006. So they won't be getting any of the money from the sale. The recording industry basically says it doesn't believe that to be true, and will use the sale as evidence that the founders should pay up. Thus, it's difficult to see them rushing out to embrace this already questionable arbitrage play.

Kill 1, 10 more will pop up
I don't know why they think this business model will work. Pirates can get shit for free elsewhere, so why would they want to have to deal with a burden of wasting a week's worth of bandwidth to be able to download 1 CD. Who would have purchased the pirate bay without doing a little research into the pirate mentality? Keep shutting us down and we'll just find better, more obscure ways to distribute content. I mean just look at OiNK...after its fall, there are even MORE sites now with just as large as a user base and even better user interfaces.
The pirate bay was a crap site, but it was very good as a tracker. It had a very crappy user interface and it was difficult to search for shit you want. Google > *.

Farmers buy back mining land
A dozen local farming families are buying back land purchased by Chinese mining giant Shenhua in the fertile Liverpool Plains.
by Michael Burt January 11, 2022 January 12, 2022
Sheep, cattle and crops will return to more than 16,000 hectares of land in the Liverpool plains purchased more than a decade ago to establish a large coal mine.
Twelve local farming families and one corporate body have bought portions of the Shenhua Coal mine holding for a combined total of $120 million.
Liverpool Plains farmer and NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin described the news as a major win for local food and fibre production.
"This property sale is a great outcome after more than 10 years of uncertainty for our farming community."
NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin
"I have always said that this was the wrong mine in the wrong place," Mr Martin says. "That uncertainty has really stymied capital investment on farms and jeopardised succession planning for some family farm businesses. It really had a significant impact on the next generation's enthusiasm to take on the farm business.
"The Shenhua project was also a significant threat to our water resources."
Mr Martin said there are lessons to be learned for the government from the Shenhua saga.
"It demonstrates that the security of local food and fibre production and water resources must be paramount in land planning decisions."
Fellow Liverpool Plains farmer and National Farmers Federation (NFF) President Fiona Simson agrees, saying poor government planning led to a "very long battle" for the community.
"This sale to local farming families is a phenonimial result. It's incredibly exciting for the region and closes the loop on a long fight to save the fertile Liverpool plains."
Liverpool Plains farmer and National Farmers Federation President Fiona Simson
Ms Simson had worked on the campaign to stop the open-cut coal mine since its plans were initially drawn up.
"We have had support from thousands of people over the past 10 years, including NSW Farmers and local community groups. It really has been a local cause based on agriculture and the community to prevent this coal mine from happening."
NFF President Fiona Simson
One more mining hurdle on the Liverpool Plains
With the controversial Shenhua Watermark Coal Project now scrapped, NSW Farmers is calling for bipartisan support to permanently extinguish four petroleum exploration licenses (PELS) that continue cause uncertainty in the Liverpool Plains.
Three of the PELS are for CSG extraction in the Liverpool Plains and were excluded from being extinquished in the State Government's Future of Gas statement released in July last year.
NSW Farmers and Country Women's Association of NSW have supported calls from the North West Alliance urging Deputy Premier Paul Toole not to renew the PELS.
The North West Alliance encompasses dozens of community groups from Dubbo in the South to the Queensland border and from Armidale and Willow Tree in the East to Warren and Walgett in the West.
Spokesperson Margaret Fleck said agricultural land must be preserved as it is finite and irreplaceable.
"The experience of communities in Queensland has demonstrated what happens once the CSG industry gets a foothold in a region," Margaret said.
"Every new CSG well risks pollution of irreplaceable groundwater, requires dewatering of aquifers and imposition of well pads, access roads, pipelines and compressor stations on the land."
"Millions of tonnes of waste salt will need to be disposed of, huge quantities of water will be required and there will be vast emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases."
NSW Farmers is supporting calls not renew Petroleum Exploration Licenses (PELs) on the fertile Liverpool Plains.
NSW Farmers President James Jackson said the continued threat of gas extraction from the existing PELs over areas agricultural land is undermining the confidence and future of our regions.
"In our representations to government, we have reinforced the long-term nature of agricultural decisions and investment," Mr Jackson said. "The doubt caused by the renewal of PELs in these areas severely undermines the ability to achieve these goals."
"And the failure to appreciate agricultural interests leads directly to development that can negatively impact the social and economic health and vibrancy of regional NSW."
Farmers in the Liverpool Plains are up in arms about a plan to bury the Hunter Gas Pipeline under their highly reactive black basalt soil. Read more here.

Q: Trying to totally reload scene I made a scene that represents the main menu of a game. In this menu there is an option for single player, and, when I press it, it opens a new "level 1" scene.
Also, there is a pause menu that allows the player to quit the game and get back to the main menu.
However, after it backs to the main menu, when I try to get into the level 1 scene using SceneManager.LoadScene("level 1"), it makes a lot of problems. It means that a lot of game objects don't act like they should.
I dont know why it happened, and I would appreciate if someone can help me solve it. Thank you.

A: You can use SceneManager.LoadScene("level 1", LoadSceneMode.Single); to clear the old scene and only load the new one in, which will let you get a clear scene and shouldn't have any problems.
If you have scripts that need to last into the new scene, you can use DontDestroyOnLoad(this); in your scripts and they will move into the new scene. The problem is you have to make sure your scripts that aren't being destroyed don't try and access destroyed objects. From your comment it looks like you have a player movement controller that isn't being destroyed, or it's being created in the menu scene and it doesn't have it's references updated correctly when the scene is reloaded. You can also use Destroy(this); in your scripts that are saved through scene changes to get rid of them when they're done running.


Family Friendly Open area which makes for good viewing.
The Orchard section maintains an uphill/downhill pattern in a relatively open area. There are large berms on some of the downhill turns which makes it great for maintaining speed. There are some mounds to make it even more exciting with a chance to get some air. There are also some steep uphill sections which require some effort, but you can relieve yourself when you go back down.
