More documents: The 152-page transcript is from a closed-door interview that Baker gave on Oct. 3, 2018 in front of a joint session of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees.
.@RepDougCollins has released the transcript of an interview with a former FBI lawyer.
...Baker was the FBI's top lawyer from 2014 to 2018, and he held that key role during two high-profile investigations — the Clinton investigation and the Trump-Russia investigation.
The FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server and her mishandling of classified information, dubbed Midyear Exam, ended with no charges ultimately being filed. During his testimony, Baker described Clinton's behavior as "alarming" and "appalling." Baker said he "argued with others about why they thought she shouldn't be charged" although he ultimately agreed with the decision not to charge her.

FTC OKs Facebook, Oculus VR Deal
"We're pleased the FTC has cleared our acquisition of Oculus," a Facebook spokeswoman told PCMag.

The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday gave Facebook the thumbs up(Opens in a new window) to complete its acquisition of virtual reality firm Oculus VR.
"We're pleased the FTC has cleared our acquisition of Oculus," a Facebook spokeswoman told PCMag. Oculus declined to comment.
The social networking giant announced its latest multi-billion-dollar acquisition last month, paying $2 billion for Oculus VR, including $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook common stock.
"Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at the time.
In fact, the entrepreneur envisions a future where Facebook users could slip on a set of the virtual reality goggles and enjoy a court-side seat at a basketball game, consult with a doctor face-to-face, or go shopping in a virtual store.
The news dropped about a week after Oculus VR released its next-gen development kit for the Rift headset. The $350 kit, dubbed DK2, is available to order, and will begin shipping in July.
But not everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the new Oculus software, especially Markus "Notch" Persson. The Minecraft creator was particularly vocal about his displeasure with the deal, writing in a tweet last month that he cancelled a deal with the VR headset because "Facebook creeps me out."
Even Oculus founder Palmer Luckey was initially doubtful about the partnership. He eventually came around, saying that purchase "became the clear and obvious path to delivering virtual reality to everyone."
The headset got its start on crowdfunding site Kickstarter. When the Facebook deal was announced, many backers were irked and requested a refund, lashing out at Luckey for "selling out" the Rift's original fan base.
But none of that stopped the Federal Trade Commission from giving the companies the go-ahead to complete their high-profile deal.
This week's news comes just after the social media giant won antitrust approval to acquire global messaging service WhatsApp for $16 billion. The newest Facebook subsidiary on Tuesday announced a milestone 500 million users around the world.

04. Aug 2011 | Building on the principle of the well-known MENTOR pushbutton caps, the "pushbutton cap for individual inscription inserts" consists of a standard 2-component housing, a modified diffuser cover and an additional panel for clipping on.
The perfect synthesis of the structural components ensures exceptionally homogeneous illumination of the pushbutton – and that with the use of just two LEDs, although it is of course possible to use up to four LEDs. The housing body and the diffuser cover are preassembled, with the panel being supplied separately. The individual pushbutton caps and signal indicators are inscribed by means of a membrane insert, on which numbers, letters or symbols can be printed, for example – tailor-made to the customer's wishes. The printed membrane is inserted between the diffuser cover and the panel and is therefore securely protected against abrasion and external influences. While the classic MENTOR pushbutton caps are conceived for use in membrane keypads, this version is operated directly on the front panel without film lamination. In the case of the SMD assembly with pushbuttons and LEDs, duo or RGB LEDs are also possible, so that the customer can put together a tailor-made solution. A possible selection of suitable LEDs and pushbuttons can be found in our keypad component catalog, it is also easy possible to combine models from other manufacturers. The pushbutton caps and adequate signal indicators are offered with an individual inscription insert in the standard size of 15 x 15 mm, as well as in the two heights of 13.0 mm and 15.8 mm. Upon request special versions are also possible – please contact us.

Annapolis Convention (1786)
For other uses, see Annapolis Convention (disambiguation).
The Annapolis Convention, formally titled as a Meeting of Commissioners to Remedy Defects of the Federal Government, was a national political convention held September 11–14, 1786 at Mann's Tavern in Annapolis, Maryland, in which twelve delegates from five states—New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia—gathered to discuss and develop a consensus about reversing the protectionist trade barriers that each state had erected. At the time, under the Articles of Confederation, each state was largely independent from the others, and the national government had no authority to regulate trade between and among the states.[1] New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and North Carolina had appointed commissioners who failed to arrive in Annapolis in time to attend the meeting, while Connecticut, Maryland, South Carolina, and Georgia had taken no action at all.[2]
ConventionEdit
Most of the delegates to the meeting were tasked only to take up the issue of trade among the states, however, New Jersey's were authorized to discuss a broader scope of reforms. The group realized that the issue of trade touched upon many other aspects of the Confederation and that a future meeting with a broader scope was necessary to adequately address the problems. The final report of the convention, adopted unanimously, was sent to the Congress of the Confederation and to the states. It sought support for a broader constitutional convention to be held the following May in Philadelphia. It expressed the hope that more states would be represented and that their delegates or deputies would be authorized to examine areas broader than simply commercial trade.[3]
Because of the few representatives in attendance, their authority was limited. It is unclear how much weight the convention's call carried, but the urgency of the need for constitutional reform was highlighted by a number of rebellions that took place all over the country. While most of them were easily suppressed, Shays' Rebellion lasted from August 1786 until February 1787. The rebellion called attention to both popular discontent and government weakness.[4]
The direct result of the Annapolis Convention report and the ensuing events was the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, during which the United States Constitution was drafted.
DelegatesEdit
The states represented, and their delegates, were:[5]
New York: Egbert Benson and Alexander Hamilton
New Jersey: Abraham Clark, William Houston, and James Schureman
Pennsylvania: Tench Coxe
Delaware: George Read, John Dickinson, and Richard Bassett
Virginia: Edmund Randolph, James Madison, and St. George Tucker

The GOP's tarnished golden boys
A year ago, both seemed like probable 2016 contenders, but things have changed. | AP Photos
By Alexander Burns
Updated: 01/13/2014 11:45 PM EST
For a while, Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell were untouchable.
The first major Republicans elected after the 2008 Obama landslide, the tough-as-nails Garden Stater and the straight-edged Virginian heralded the conservative resurgence in 2010 and pointed the way toward sweeping victories for small-government candidates on the state level. A year ago, both seemed like plausible and even probable 2016 presidential candidates, two representatives of a fresher GOP, anchored in fiscal discipline, support for states' rights and opposition to public labor.
Now, clouds hang over both the GOP golden boys of 2009. McDonnell's situation is far graver: As he left office over the weekend, the governor's Boy Scout image was in tatters amid an ongoing criminal investigation of huge, undisclosed gifts that his family accepted from a political contributor.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Chris Christie?)
Christie, meanwhile, saw the start of his second term engulfed last week in a different kind of investigation: a legislative inquiry, and a just-opened federal probe, into several of his aides meddling with traffic patterns in Northern New Jersey as an apparent act of political retaliation.
The near-simultaneous humbling of both men marks an important checkpoint in the history of the post-George W. Bush Republican Party, as a first set of next-generation conservatives begins to run up against the consequences of their own errors. Much as second-term presidents — not least of all Barack Obama — often struggle with the fallout from their first-term decisions, a new round of GOP state executives has only begun to confront messy realities of their own making.
Republicans emphasize that the two governors' predicaments are not equivalent. McDonnell could face a federal indictment after the end of the single term Virginia governors are allowed. Christie, on the other hand, has totally denied any personal wrongdoing; no evidence has surfaced tying him directly to unlawful acts of retribution.
Yet last week, the two men adopted comparable poses of self-abasement, speaking to their constituents in tones of remorse at dramatic odds with the chest-thumping triumphalism that was a shared hallmark of both men during political appearances over the past four years. On the contrary, the two governors meditated together on the imperfections of humankind.
( PHOTOS: Bob McDonnell's career)
"I am not perfect, but I have always worked tirelessly to do my very best for Virginia," McDonnell told the state Legislature on Wednesday in a farewell address. "As a flawed human being, I've sometimes fallen short of my own expectations."
In a news conference Thursday, Christie struck a similar chord, telling reporters: "Human beings are not perfect, and mistakes are made."
"I am responsible for what happened. I am sad to report to the people of New Jersey that we fell short," Christie said, describing himself as "heartbroken" and "humiliated."
The cheerful and defiant strains of their 2009 races — when McDonnell campaigned on the cheesy, upbeat slogan "Bob's for Jobs," and Christie taunted his opponent to "man up and call me fat" — seemed like ancient history.
( From POLITICO Magazine: 15 Chris Christie Controversies You Missed)
If Christie's and McDonnell's woes are meaningfully different in the details, there are certain overlapping themes. While McDonnell may have crossed ethical or legal lines in the specific gifts he received, the acceptance of lavish special treatment is de rigueur in Virginia's capital city, where legislators can take many kinds of favors as long as they practice full disclosure. When the Virginia governor says he did not do anything illegal, his friends say he firmly believes it.
In Christie's case, it is hard to imagine that his staffers and appointees would have behaved in such a cartoonishly goony way — deliberately throwing a small city into gridlock, while firing off sneering emails calling Fort Lee's mayor an "idiot" and "the little Serbian" — without at least some sense that rough-and-tumble politics is simply the Jersey way.
Perhaps the essential similarity between the two governors, optimistic conservatives say, is that the examples they set for the Republican Party remain valuable despite the duo's current circumstances — that McDonnell's emphasis on kitchen-table issues like education and mass transit, and Christie's ability to compromise on fiscal issues with a hardball Democratic Legislature, are still worth emulating.
Former Bush adviser Peter Wehner, who has defended both governors in the past from hard-right critics, said McDonnell's career was probably "over" and that Christie had so far handled a "serious and problematic issue" with comparative grace. Regardless of their fate as individuals, Wehner said the GOP victors of 2009 had already pointed the way forward for many of the other Republicans who have won since then.
( Also on POLITICO: A guide to Chris Christie's 'Bridgegate')
"You have to judge them in part on their policy achievements, which I think are really impressive with McDonnell. That's why it's such a shame," Wehner said. "Christie still is an effective governor. I don't think Republicans should turn away from those lessons — or certainly, in Christie's case, shouldn't turn away from him."
Washington Examiner columnist Michael Barone, the right-of-center political handicapper who has written admiringly of both governors, praised the socially conservative McDonnell for making himself palatable to a swing-state electorate and touted Christie's ability to work across party lines "with Democratic legislators who come from private-sector union backgrounds."
He pointed out that in some respects, these governors are merely facing a challenge that would-be presidents in the U.S. Senate have long confronted: watching their records picked apart in excruciating detail in the national spotlight.
( Also on POLITICO: Chris Christie's damage control)
"We should look at the record these people have in local government, if they're going to be president, to see how they operate. Did we look at Bill Clinton's record closely enough? Republican candidates tend to get more scrutiny at this level than Democrats," Barone said, adding: "The Christie thing has some relevance to his character."
It remains to be seen how Christie's constituents will judge his performance last week in the Fort Lee traffic uproar and what effect a protracted investigation might have on the governor's White House aspirations. Top Christie supporters were adamant that he had succeeded in turning the page on a painful episode in which the governor himself was blameless.
By coincidence, McDonnell can thank Virginia's notorious traffic problems for keeping his own approval ratings positive under difficult circumstances: Voters have continued to applaud him for passing a multibillion-dollar transportation funding law that represents the largest step in a quarter-century toward opening up the state's gridlocked roads.
At least a few on the right were nearly ready to write the joint political obituary for the 2009 generation: National Review correspondent Jim Geraghty declared in a column that events in New Jersey and Virginia represent "the failure of the GOP's class of 2009."
"Fifty months later," he wrote, that year's election night "appears to have been a false dawn, as both men face accusations, and mounting evidence, of betraying the public trust."

Fan questioned over smoke canister
KOBE – A 27-year-old Brazilian man has been questioned for allegedly lighting a smoke canister at Kobe Wing Stadium during Monday's Brazil-Belgium World Cup match, police said.
The man is a resident of Aichi Prefecture and works in car assembly. He allegedly violated a prefectural ordinance on acts of nuisance, according to Hyogo Prefectural Police.
He is accused of provoking confusion among spectators by lighting a smoke canister in the seating area at around 10:15 p.m. as the game was nearing its end, according to police.
The canister was immediately extinguished by police, they said, adding fans nearby did not notice and the incident did not affect the game.
The man reportedly told police he was carrying the canister in his backpack and lighted it because he was overcome with joy at Brazil's victory.
Brazil beat Belgium 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals.

JLoryn Finds Her Footing as a Solo Artist
Cleo Mirza November 23, 2021 5:49AM
Jonathan Lobato
Look out for JLoryn's debut solo project, coming early next year.
Colorado native Jessica Lobato (née Bolden), aka JLoryn, has been singing since she was able to talk. As a member of her church choir from age four to 24, she blew people away with the depth of her soulful voice. At times, though, she wondered if music was really her calling.
"It's always been something that people deemed me great at, and over time, I think after doing it for so long as a child, I kind of had to find myself, and if that was really my passion," she says. "Now it's very much an extension of me. It's something that's going to be a part of my life for the rest of my life." At 33, Lobato has just released a '90s-inspired music video for her song "Coolin'," the first single from her upcoming debut album.
Before blazing her own trail as a solo artist, Lobato dabbled in multiple genres, from singing in a gospel group to recording background vocals for a rock band and a country singer. "It wasn't until my later twenties — I would say 28 — that I actually recorded my very first song just by myself," she says. "That was kind of the start of me shaping and molding myself into what I'd like to consider myself today: a singer-songwriter.
JLoryn steps out of the background and into a solo career.

"I never put myself in one pocket when it comes to music," she continues. "I do enjoy all different genres, but if I had to be specific on what motivated my sound, I'd say it's been compared to the likes of Aaliyah, Jhené Aiko, Corinne Bailey Rae. When I think about defining myself as an artist, I'm definitely in the pocket of those women, as well as Lauryn Hill. I have more of a soulful voice, I've been told. It makes sense, being raised in the church, but I kind of put a little bit of a twist on it. Overall, if you hear my music, it would most likely be compared to more of a soulful R&B sound, more old-school soulful than new-school R&B that you hear today."
Lobato's music is also deeply personal. "I pride myself on saying I've written just about all of my songs. A lot of my material comes from things I've personally experienced in my life, whether they be in the past or present," she explains. "Definitely just the mood that I'm in in the moment when I'm writing — and I find that I write more when I'm in not the best of moods, so it's kind of like therapy for me, as well."
After putting out two self-recorded singles in mid-2020, Lobato was introduced by her now-husband to hip-hop artist, songwriter and producer Ramond, a fellow Colorado native who recently relocated to Phoenix. The industry vet proved to be an invaluable creative partner to Lobato: "Ramond took me under his wing and really helped me cultivate my sound a little bit more, so I could package it in a way that would be appealing to my listeners. Not to give him all the credit, but my husband is the reason behind a lot of what kickstarted my move. I was working with a few different people, but once I met Ramond, I was able to narrow in on the vision that we had for the future project, and everything just fell together."
Lobato slowly warmed to the idea of recording songs Ramond wrote, a departure from her previous emphasis on writing all her own music. Although she was hesitant at first, she grew to love some of the songs after hearing them in her own voice. That includes "Coolin'," which was released on July 8. The track was written and executive-produced by Ramond, produced by Malik Carter (Produced by Carter), and engineered by Stevie Buggz of Bright Future Media.
"[Ramond] actually wrote this song for another artist he had been working with, and it never happened," she recalls. "So he was like, 'I know you say you write all your own material, but let me just let you hear this.' So I listened to the hook, I kind of let it marinate for a few days, and I said, 'You know what? Not really my cup of tea, but let's do it. Let's see what we can make of it.' And as soon as I hopped on that track and started to record it in the studio, I fell in love with it. I'm so glad that I stepped out of my box of rules and gave a little bit of energy to that."
During the recording process, "Coolin'" took on a life of its own, inspiring the video, which dropped on November 12. "As we started to record it, it just developed into this '90s nuance vibe, to where every time we would go back to mix it or master it or lay down a verse, it just started to form a story of its own," explains Lobato. "That's when we decided to take the direction from a song that gave you this '90s R&B feel to 'Let's create a story here.'"
JLoyrn in the studio.
With the help of Denver-based videography company Dreamersday, Lobato created a brightly colored, energetic visual collage of '90s pop-culture allusions, from Kangol bucket hats to iconic TV characters. "Essentially, we were hoping to capture a few themes from different '90s TV shows and just kind of spread them throughout the video," Lobato says. "So you're really going to have to be polished up on your old-school '90s nostalgia to get the references, but I think I created that video for the '80s babies — everybody that misses The Martin Show and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. If you know, you know."
"Coolin'" is the first single off Lobato's upcoming debut project. "It started out as an EP, but it's probably safe to call it my first album, because there will be seven songs on it," she says. "It's not so much an early premiere as it is an album now, just given the time that has gone into it. It's going to give you a lot of different facets of who I am as an artist. It will give you more than one sound. The name of the album is going to be Mood Swings, so I'm hoping to take you up and then bring you back down toward the end. Everything is strategically placed."
Before she releases Mood Swings early next year, Lobato will release another single in late January that features a verse from Ramond. Titled "Memories," the song conjures an entirely different mood than "Coolin'," one that's more somber and contemplative.
"That song actually started out as a song that I wrote for my mom," Lobato explains. "My mom passed away three years ago. It was me in my own grief, kind of like [Tupac's] 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete' — very much in this really low place — and music really helped me get out of that. Me and Ramond connect so well on that song because we have so many similarities to put into it. It's one of those ones we hope tugs on the heartstrings as a listener, because it's a really deep, emotional song, and a lot of personal grief and growth went into that."
Lobato's sound has been compared to that of Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill and Corinne Bailey Rae.
"Coolin'," by JLoryn, is available now for streaming and download on all music platforms. Watch the "Coolin'" music video on JLoryn's YouTube channel.


William Lamar Hinson III was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter "with the special allegation that he personally used a deadly weapon" in the 2015 killing Khan Lam in Garberville, according to a press release sent by the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office.
Lam, 37, was involved in a physical altercation with a family member in downtown Garberville on July 18, 2015. Suddenly, four men, including Hinson, confronted Lam and started chasing him, leading to a head injury. Lam was sent to Garberville's Jerold Phelps Community Hospital, then to a hospital out of the area to be treated for a brain injury when he was later taken off life support by his family.
It was first reported that Lam had fallen while being chased but his autopsy report stated his injuries were inconsistent with a fall, spawning the homicide investigation. The press release says that Hinson struck Lam on the head using a board, fracturing his skull.
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office investigation resulted in Hinson's arrest in late 2016.
"The prosecution of Mr. Hinson relied on several witnesses willing to come forward, speak with law enforcement and ultimately testify at trial," the press release said.
Hinson had been charged with murder in the case but the jury acquitted him of that charge before voting to convict him on a lesser-included count of voluntary manslaughter. He faces a maximum of 11 years in prison at his sentencing, which is scheduled for April 8.
Today a jury found 41-year-old William Lamar Hinson III guilty of voluntary manslaughter for the killing of Khanh Lam, with the special allegation that he personally used a deadly weapon.
The case arose from an incident on July 18, 2015. The victim, while apparently looking for his dog, became involved in a physical altercation with a family parked near the Garberville town square. The defendant and several others intervened and chased the victim down an alley, where the defendant struck the victim in the head with a board, fracturing the victim's skull.
An investigation by the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office led by Investigator Jennifer Turner resulted in the arrest of the defendant in late 2016. He has been in the Humboldt County Correctional Facility since January 2017.
Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees prosecuted the case with assistance from District Attorney Analyst David Walker and Victim/Witness Advocate Marybeth Bian. Public Defender Marek Reavis represented Mr. Hinson. Judge Lawrence Killoran presided over the one-month-long jury trial.
The prosecution of Mr. Hinson relied on several witnesses willing to come forward, speak with law enforcement, and ultimately testify at trial. The District Attorney's Office greatly appreciates their efforts, along with the time and effort of the jury.
The scheduled sentencing date for Mr. Hinson is April 8, 2019. Mr. Hinson faces 3, 6 or 11 years in state prison for the voluntary manslaughter conviction and an additional year in custody for the special allegation of personal use of a deadly weapon.

The History of the Pauline Family
Prompted by the Spirit, Fr. James Alberione founded a number of Institutes between 1914 and 1960. Known as the Pauline Family, all are connected to one another by the same spirituality and by a profound bond of communion. Speaking about this intense relationship, our Founder said: "There is a strong family bond among us because we were all born from the Tabernacle. We all share the same spirit, namely: to live Jesus Christ and serve the Church."
Fr. James Alberione, Founder of the Pauline Family, was one of the most creative apostles of the 20th century. He was born in San
Lorenzo di Fossano (Cuneo), Italy, on the 4th of April, 1884 and baptized the following day. The profoundly Christian and hard-working
Alberione family, made up of Michael and Teresa Allocco and their six children, were farmers.
At the end of the Holy Year of 1900, James, who had read and reflected deeply on Pope Leo XIII's
encyclical, Tametsi Futura, underwent an experience that would give direction to the rest of his life.
On the night of December 31st, 1900, the night that divided the 19th and 20th centuries, he prayed
for four hours before the Blessed Sacrament and contemplated the future in the light of God.
A "particular light" seemed to come from the Host and roused in him a sense of obligation
"to do something for the Lord and for the people of the new century". He felt "obliged to
serve the Church" with the new instruments of social communication provided by human
ingenuity. In this, he was over 50 years ahead of his time!
On the apostolic level, Fr. Alberione promoted the printing of popular editions of the Bible and used the swiftest instrument of the time (periodicals) to help the message of Christ reach even those furthest away. He had already begun the magazine Vita Pastorale (The Pastoral Life) in 1912 for parish priests. In 1931, he launched Famiglia Cristiana, (Christian Family) a weekly magazine to nourish the Christian life of families. Many other periodicals, magazines, and Catholic newspapers followed. Later, Pauline radio stations and TV stations joined the Work of Evangelization, and more recently, an array of digital media has been streaming from various Internet apostolates of his 10 congregations.
Fr. Mike Harrington, Jesus Priest Institute Fr. Jeff Mickler, PhD, SSP
Honoring the patron and spiritual Father of his congregations, Blessed Alberione built the beautiful Church of St. Paul in Alba, which was then followed by two Churches dedicated to the Divine Master and the magnificent Sanctuary of the Queen of Apostles in Rome.
Blessed Alberione was perhaps the most prolific religious founder in Church history. He established 10 church organizations. They include 9 Institutes of Consecrated Life (religious and aggregated Institutes) and a group of lay Pauline Cooperators.
The Society of St.Paul (1914)
This was the Founder's first endeavor. Pauline priests and brothers work with all of the modern means of social communication: television, radio, audiovisual media, books, and the Internet, "to give the whole Christ, Jesus Master, Way, Truth and Life to the World", for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
The Daughters of St. Paul (1915)
They have the same mission as the Pauline priests and brothers. Although
their works are numerous and include all of the means of social communication
listed above, the Daughters are probably best known for their St. Paul Book
and Media Centers throughout the World. These centers are not simply book
and media outlets but places of spiritual comfort, light and peace for the soul.
The Sister Disciples of the Divine Master (1924)
These Sisters were the fulfillment of Fr. Alberione's dream. He was convinced that the mission of the Pauline Family would not be fruitful unless it was sustained by intercessory prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic Adoration for the needs of the Church and the whole world. Furthermore, the Sister Disciples have the Priestly and Liturgical Apostolate.
The Good Shepherd Sisters (1938)
These Sisters carry out the Pauline mission though their work in diocesan Parishes. They aid pastors in bringing the love and message of Christ to the faithful, through their participation in various parish ministries.
The Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles (1957)
These Sisters work exclusively to encourage and nurture various vocations for the Church.
Institutes aggregated to the Society of St. Paul:
Institute of Jesus Priest (1960)
This Institute gives Diocesan priests an opportunity to share in the Pauline apostolate and to enrich their priestly vocation with consecration in the Pauline Family.
The Archangel Gabriel Institute (1960)
For single men who wish to devote their lives to serving God in the Pauline apostolate while living a consecrated life in the World.
Our Lady of the Annunciation Institute (1960)
For single women who are called to live a consecrated life while remaining in the World and carrying out the Pauline apostolate.
The Holy Family Institute (1960)
For married, widowed and engaged persons who are called by God to live a consecrated life in the World. Holy Family members are dedicated to Pauline prayer and practice, while continuing to live a traditional married life in their regular daily environment. The Holy Family Institute is one of the greatest gifts that God has bestowed upon married couples! The Constitutions of this Institute were developed in consultation with married couples, so that, far from being an added burden for the couple, membership in the Institute enhances their family life while imparting an infinitely increased value to their every thought, word and action.

Allotments: share your pictures
Far more than just a plot of land, the UK's allotments are some of our most treasured green spaces. To celebrate allotments week, send us your photos
Guardian readers

Allotments provide more than just a place to grow fruit or vegetables. They are a way of life for many, and the focus of community endeavour and resilience.
This year's national allotments week, organised by the National Allotment Society, takes place from 13-19 August and celebrates all the year-round hard work by allotment holders and councils to protect and manage these precious green spaces.
Sarah Jones, Matt Cox, Neil, Claire and Rufus from Birmingham - winners of the allotment shed of the year.
National Allotments Week began in 2002 as a way of raising awareness of allotments and the role they play in helping people to live healthier lifestyles, grow their own food, develop friendships and bolster communities. The campaign week is still thriving 12 years later, encouraging everyone around the UK to grow food in their own in gardens, balconies and backyards.
Every year, we ask Guardian readers to share their pictures of their allotments, and every year, we receive a cornucopia of beautiful photos celebrating readers' hard work and community spirit on their allotments. Here's last year's gallery.
To celebrate national allotments week, we are once asking Guardian readers once again to share your pictures of allotments and the wonderful produce you've grown. Tell us what these community assets mean to you and at the end of August, we'll create a gallery of the best pictures.
You can share your photographs and tell us a bit about them by using the form below. It would be useful to know where and when the picture was taken. We'll publish a gallery of some of our favourite pictures at the end of August.
If you're having trouble using the form, click here. Read terms of service here.

Top 10 things to do in Tenerife
Eloise Barker
Title photography by AlexanderNikiforov
Tenerife things to do
Although it's within touching distance of the African continent, Tenerife has its own fabulous, self-contained spirit. This is where Lord Nelson lost his arm fighting against the Spanish fleet in 1797, but you might just lose your heart to this wild island if you visit now. Discover the best things to do in Tenerife.
1. Enjoy the coastal life at Costa Adeje
At Costa Adeje you can have a typical sun loungers and sundowners holiday. This wildly popular area of Tenerife's south coast is rife with tourists having a great time. The popular Las Americas area has plenty of familiar UK shops and restaurants, plus its Playa de Guincho is a great place to surf. Children will enjoy Siam Park – a Thai-themed water park haloed by other attractions. Adults can unwind at the merry parade of visitor-friendly seafront bars. In the evenings, this is Tenerife's premier nightlife hub. Come 2.00 am, famous Veronica's Strip is swarming with revellers sporting for a dance. Join in at your own risk.
Top tip:
Sticking to the southern section of the island? Head to Los Abrigos, a town that's famous for seafood central thanks to its tireless fishermen. Dine on fresh white fish with thick wedges of lemon, then spend the afternoon catching the sun on Las Vistas beach.
2. Go to the top of Mount Teide
The highest mountain in Spain (though it's closer to the African mainland than Europe), dramatic Mount Teide dominates Tenerife's skyline. And the summit is easier to reach than you think. An impressive cable car takes you from sea level to a viewpoint a stonking 2,356 metres up. If the weather's good, you'll be able to see the surrounding Canary Islands. With its high altitude and clear skies, the vivid volcanic landscape of the Mount Teide National Park has perfect conditions for athletic training, and Olympic cycling teams that come here train in droves. Try to keep up.
If cycling on the mountain seems too exhausting, book yourself into a sunset tour and drink a glass of champagne from the viewpoint. Watch as the sun sets, and as it does, spot the shadow of the volcano creeping over the sea.
Beach breaks
There are plenty of surfing beaches in Tenerife. Try the popular Playa de las Americas if you're staying in Costa Adeje – this beach has everything – and everyone knows it. Book flights to Tenerife.

3. Go for lunch in a Guachinche
For a lunch that's as authentic as they come, make sure you dine in a Guanchinche at least once during your Tenerife holiday. Marked out by a hand-painted sign, these makeshift restaurants are often situated in the family home, where you'll be served a simple, hearty meal. Try Guanchinche El Chupete on the road to La Laguna, where your meal will come with a great bottle of local wine: perhaps a pale Malvasia or a bold young red that will stand up to a meaty casserole.
If it's local you're after, why not tour a vineyard? You can spend a whole day at Bodegas Monje: a morning out by the vines and tasting the wines; then lunch, or a cookery class to learn how to make the island's famous mojo sauce.
4. Study the skies at Teide Observatory
Tenerife is one of the best places for stargazing in Europe. On many nights, you can clearly make out the Milky Way – a wide, glittering streak across the night sky. There are a number of great viewing platforms around the island, including one at Masca, and one in Mount Teide National Park. At Teide Observatory you'll clap eyes on the largest operating telescope in Europe. This is a solar telescope, so you don't have to stay up late into the night to enjoy the view. Join a tour of the observatory and you'll be invited to see solar flares and sunspots on our nearest star.
Stargazers should wrap up warm. Night temperatures on high altitude platforms will be a shock after the beach.
You can spot pilot whales off the coast of Tenerife. The second largest species of dolphin after orcas, they're strange-looking creatures, with bulbous 'pot-shaped' heads and remarkable intelligence.

Find your Mojo
Tenerife's famous Mojo sauce, served here with wrinkly Canarian potatoes, is made with red peppers and paprika. Have a gastronomic holiday in Tenerife.

The tawny sand at Las Vistas goes golden in the sun. This popular beach is safe, clean and has plenty of facilities. Bag an umbrella and chill out.

5. Get lost in the Anaga Mountains
If you want to hike, and hike properly, then head to the Anaga Mountains. Remotely located on the northernmost tip of the island, the dramatic area has its own temperamental microclimate. Expect mist, rain and bursts of dramatic sunlight. The peaks are straight out of Jurassic Park – some of the rocks are thought to be seven million years old – and bristle with ancient laurel forest. Lace up your rugged walking boots, trek down the tracks to the black beaches that surround Macizo de Teno; then trek back, wet swimming trunks hanging from the back of your rucksack. If you get hungry, stop for lunch in an ancient cave: La Cueva is a hidden restaurant near Punta del Hidalgo.
There's an annual walking festival in Tenerife in late May. Organised hikes will help you navigate the teeming trails.
6. Cross over to La Gomera
There are plenty of ferries that will take you over to La Gomera, the little island off the south coast of Tenerife. You'll have a fantastic view of Mount Teide across the sea as you cross over from Los Cristianos. In 40 minutes you'll land at San Sebastien, the last port that Christopher Columbus checked into before his infamous Atlantic voyage. From here you can hike, or drive, to find the best views of Tenerife and the Atlantic. Ascend to Parador de Gomera to check out those famous Mount Teide views, or head over for lunch at Mirador de Abrante. This fantastic glass dining room is perched hundreds of metres above the sea and looks out over the cheery-looking village of Agulo.
Listen out for La Gomera's famous 'whistling speech', known as El Silbo. Originally used by farmers to call to each other from great distances, it is still taught in schools.
Sleepy streets
Explore La Orotava and, after your fill of traditional Canarian architecture, enjoy its peaceful botanical garden.

7. Keep your eyes peeled for pilot whales
The wild Atlantic waters around Tenerife get plenty of passing trade from migrating dolphins and whales. However, bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, risso dolphins and sperm whales make the waters around the island their permanent home, feeding in the deep-sea trenches between Tenerife and La Gomera. Most tours to spot them operate from the southern end of the island, where sightings are practically guaranteed. Pilot whales are numerous. You'll see them leaping in their pods, or even spyhopping: sticking their heads out of the water to examine objects of interest on the surface. Usually, that's you and your tour.
Some tours have been known to get too close to the whales' quarry, which disturbs the local wildlife. Choose an ecological tour with an on-board naturalist and a small group.
8. Bathe in the rockpools of Puerto de la Cruz
When Agatha Christie visited back in 1927, the wild northern seafront of Puerto de la Cruz wasn't swimmer-friendly. Back then, it was a quiet fishing town on the north side of Tenerife without many inviting prospects. But by the 1970s, a series of lava-sculpted pools were hewn into the rock. Known as the Lago Martiánez, these pools are great in high summer, when the southern end of the island proves too hot. You can splash, float and watch the waves crash beneath you. Puerto de la Cruz is now a bone fide city, but you can still visit Ranilla, the old fisherman's quarter. This area of the city has had its own facelift and is now full of street art.
You can explore a number of Tenerife's great little towns in a day (one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner?) Puerto de la Cruz's inland neighbour, La Orotava, is comprised of a series of beautiful Baroque buildings, and is definitely worth a wander.

9. Drive up to the picturesque village of Masca
A treacherous road trip into the wilds takes you to the tiny outcrop of buildings at Masca, the most picturesque settlement on the island. This little village is perched in the Teno mountains and is so remote that it was all but cut off from the rest of the island until a road was built in 1991. The village gets very busy with visitors between 11am and 5pm, as people gather to photograph the impressive mountain scenery, and hear far-fetched tales about historical pirate activity in the area.
There's a three-hour trek down to a 'pirate bay' from the town, reserved for those who have a boat ride sorted for the way back. Not for the faint-hearted, the trail is currently closed.
10. Spend a day in the capital: Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island's capital, has a modest scattering of attractions and a relaxed atmosphere. The city comes to life during carnival, however, with a parade that takes four hours (yes, four) to pass in its entirety. At any other time of year, this port city is a laid-back place to wander. The funky architecture of the Auditorio de Teneride makes a great photo stop, and the new carnival museum is an entertaining diversion if the carnival itself isn't in town. Pop into a couple of churches, then shop for Canarian delicacies – bananas, cactus lemonade and, of course, mojo sauce for your potatoes – at Nuestra Señora de Africa market.
It's not often that a small town surpasses the capital. But in Tenerife it's probably the case. Visit UNESCO-listed La Laguna, Santa Cruz's little sister town next door, and the old capital of the island. You'll find Old Canarian-style buildings brandishing carved wooden verandas and cool courtyards. There are free hour-long walking tours. Find out times from the tourist office.
Melia Hacienda del Conde
The adults-only Melia Hacienda del Conde is near the Teno mountains in the north west of Tenerife, so it's a great base for explorers. It's ringed by a fantastic golf course, but it's also just a fifteen-minute walk to the town of Buenavista.
Book the Melia Hacienda del Conde
Ritz Carlton Abama
Pink turrets, secret gardens and luxurious lodgings: the famously beautiful Ritz-Carlton Abama also has a great golf course and two Michelin-starred restaurants.
Book the Ritz-Carlton Abama
The Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife
Three pools, a beach, multiple kids clubs and shameless, get-stuck-in fun can be had at the Hard Rock Hotel near Adeje. Rooms have massive flat-screen televisions and adults can enjoy the famous Children of the 80's party. The teen club offers Xbox and cinema – and plenty of sports too, to stop anyone getting square-eyed.

Langness () is a peninsula which protrudes two kilometres at the southern extremity of the Isle of Man. Signifying a cape or extended promontory, Langness literally means "long promontory" in Old Norse. Formerly an island, Langness was eventually joined to the mainland by the movement and deposition of material along Castletown Bay to form a tombolo. The small community of Derbyhaven is situated on the east coast of this isthmus, which lies close to Castletown, Isle of Man.

History
The old Manx name for Langness was Oaie Ny Baatyn Marroo, which translates as the "Grave yard of the Lost Ships". Before Langness Lighthouse was built on Dreswick Point in 1880, wrecks on the peninsula were common. During periods of low visibility the only foghorn was a cow's horn which would be blown by a party of men on the shore – the sound of which carried for half a mile at best.

The Potato Grave
Near the lighthouse is a turf-covered mound, known as the potato grave. In 1832 a ship carrying Irish workers to the Isle of Man to dig potatoes was lost with all hands, and 32 bodies were washed ashore. It was customary on the island to bury a body washed ashore behind a hedge in the place it had been found, and so a communal grave was dug and all 32 bodies placed within it. No stone marks the grave; the only memorial of the victims is a turf-covered mound.

Geography
The peninsula is close to Ronaldsway Airport, and a good view of the peninsula can be obtained from the port side of planes landing there on Runway 26. It is also within easy walking distance from Castletown, and the peninsula itself features an interesting nature trail. Coastal erosion has carved parts of the coast into sea arches, which are also of geological interest as they contain an unconformity: parts of the rocks are nearly 500 million years old, other parts are some 150 million years younger.

At the southern tip of the peninsula is Dreswick Point, the southernmost point of the Manx mainland, whilst St Michael's Isle (popularly known as Fort Island) is connected at the northern end of the peninsula by a narrow causeway.

A feature of the peninsula is the Herring Tower, a daymark built in 1811. Other structures to be found on the peninsula include the remains of a World War II-era gun training range, close to the lighthouse, and a memorial to local naturalist Henry Madoc, who was also the island's Chief Constable.

Natural history
The peninsula is a popular haunt of birdwatchers, and has bird life ranging from golden plovers and curlews to merlins and kestrels. St. Michael's Island is a bird sanctuary.

Dolphins and porpoises can also occasionally seen in the waters off the peninsula.

Leisure
The Castletown Golf & Country Club (formerly also a hotel, closed since 2007) is set on the peninsula and the isthmus connecting it with Derbyhaven and has been the scene of many international championships. In 2005, the Duke of York Young Champions Trophy golf championships were held at the club.

Ludcke House→
Ludcke House is named in honor of Gipp L. Ludcke, (MBA 1925) and his support of the School.
One of two buildings on the original HBS campus that were named for their functions, Ludcke House opened in 1927 as the first Faculty Club. Designed by McKim, Mead & White in the Georgian Revival-style, the three-story, stucco and brick building faces the lawn in front of the Baker Library | Bloomberg Center. Until the mid-1950s, the HBS faculty was small enough to gather for meals on the second floor of the 6,900-square-foot building. The facility has since been repurposed several times, as home to the Doctoral Programs, External Relations, the Communications Group, and HBS Operations. The building also experienced several name changes, including Alumni Center, before it was rededicated in honor of Gipp L. Ludcke (MBA 1925) in 1991. After extensive renovations, the building became headquarters for the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness. Led by Bishop William Lawrence University Professor Michael E. Porter, the institute is dedicated to the study of competition and its implications for company strategy; the competitiveness of nations, regions, and cities; and the relationship between competition and society.
Gipp L. Ludcke (1900-1995) was a highly regarded figure in the evolution of the mutual fund industry. After graduation from HBS, the Minnesota native began his career with Incorporated Investors, one of the first mutual funds in the country. In 1940, he joined the George Putnam Fund of Boston, where he became president and director of Putnam Fund Distributors, Inc., and vice president and director of the Putnam Group Mutual Funds. He later became senior partner.
After his retirement from Putnam in 1965, Ludcke continued his influence in the industry as the widely read author of "The Human Side of Investing," a syndicated financial column that ran in 17 newspapers across the country. In addition, he and his wife, Eleanor, shared a devotion to philanthropic causes. In 1991, the couple established the Ludcke Foundation, which supports organizations that provide resources and services to children and families, with an emphasis on physical and emotional health, education, and social development.
Ludcke cultivated close ties to HBS throughout his career, serving as a volunteer career adviser, fundraising volunteer, 60th Reunion chairman, and Class Secretary. Through a bequest, the Gipp Ludcke (MBA 1925) Fellowship was established in 2004. Ludcke House was named in honor of his longtime commitment to the School and in appreciation of his generous support.

Guest Blog: Testing the future of grid-integrated renewables
It is almost impossible to talk about grid-integrated renewables providing a growing proportion of the energy mix without questions being asked about reliability of power generation and security of supply. In this SustMeme Guest Post, our Climate & Energy Channel Partner CESI explores ways to maximise the cost-effectiveness of incorporating Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) into the power system.
CESI: To foster sustainable, low-emission development, many countries are establishing ambitious renewable energy targets for their electricity supply. However, because solar and wind tend to be more variable and uncertain than conventional sources, meeting these targets will involve changes to power system planning and operations.
In this respect, good grid integration methods maximise the cost-effectiveness of incorporating Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) into the power system, whilst also maintaining, or increasing, system stability and reliability.
The rise of renewable energy and its unpredictable, relatively uncontrollable behaviour is driving development of grid-connected energy storage to enhance stability. Especially in a world increasingly concerned about climate change, the surge in generation from VRES in the last 20 years has required, and will require even more in the future, greater flexibility of the electricity system.
Therefore, energy storage is one of the components that allows for improvement in the flexibility of the system. Electrochemical accumulations, together with Demand Side Management (DSM), represent one of the solutions to meet this need.
Today, we are already witnessing the installation of batteries next to solar and wind farms in renewable energy plants. This is a particularly relevant trend in the economy of 'hybrid' companies, which can accumulate energy to provide system services and for balancing.
In fact, according to BNEF's Energy Storage Outlook 2019, one of the battery functions with greater prospects concerns the injection of energy into the grid during a period of the day other than the one in which it was generated.
Furthermore, the ever-changing evolution of power systems — in combination with the need for flexibility highlighted recently by global lockdown measures — poses new challenges and requirements for the integration of VRES into the grid.
Indeed, in recent years, we have witnessed the development of technical requirements to connect VRES to the transmission system, which is developing remarkably to suit power system needs evolving in light of energy and climate policy targets.
In response to this trend, CESI is in a position to help manufacturers through independent testing and verification of energy storage systems under realistic yet controllable conditions.
The Flex Power Grid Laboratory
Through its Flexible Power Grid Laboratory, based in Arnhem, in The Netherlands, CESI's Testing, Inspection and Certification Division KEMA Labs offers system-level battery testing, showing the major role played by the inverter in determining the grid performance of energy storage systems.
The Laboratory's flexible grid connection allows it to mimic real-life grid conditions and vary parameters such as frequency and voltage. Due to the state-of-the-art technology at CESI's disposal, in the Flex Power Grid Laboratory KEMA Labs' experts can subject equipment to severe symmetrical and asymmetrical voltage disturbances as well as fundamental frequency excursions.
Given a fully controllable grid-equivalent, these facilities and capabilities permit the behaviour of systems to be verified during both standard operation and extreme scenarios such as frequency variations, over- and under-voltage, grid pollution and more.
Machines and power converters can also be tested to ensure that they possess sufficient low-, high- and zero-voltage fault ride-through, reactive current support and active power control capabilities.
Ultimately, as we advance along the transition path towards the zero-carbon economy of the future, lab testing will become increasingly important for accurately assessing the real-world capabilities of grid-integrated renewables and energy storage solutions. In effect, optimising performance in this way will have a key role to play in companies and governments delivering on their climate promises.
For those interested in learning more about the integration of VRES into the grid, CESI recently held a webinar on the topic, which readers can view free on-demand here.
Headquartered in Milan and with facilities in Arnhem, Berlin, Prague, Mannheim, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago de Chile, Knoxville (USA) and Chalfont (USA), CESI is the world-leading testing, consulting and engineering company in the field of technology and innovation for the electric power sector. At the Flex Power Grid Laboratory in Arnhem, The Netherlands, CESI's Testing, Inspection and Certification Division KEMA Labs offers system-level battery testing, with flexible grid connection that allows it to mimic real-life grid conditions and vary parameters such as frequency and voltage.

PlanetSide 2 PS4 Review
Full-Scale War
By Dave Rudden
Posted: 27 Jun 2015 6:42 am
PlanetSide 2 doesn't fit the mold of a free-to-play massively multiplayer shooter. There are no rounds to win, and hard-fought victories are often undone before the next time you log in. It's tough to learn, progress is slow, and almost everything is prohibitively expensive. However, there are so many other things going for PlanetSide 2 that I keep coming back to it. The epic scale of its hundred-plus-player warfare, the sights of the world, and the variety of ways to approach battle as part of a squad and in vehicles made my experience well worth the growing pains.
Jumping in for the first time gives you an ambiguous start; beyond their uniform color, logo, and theme song, don't expect to learn much more about the motivations of the three factions. I chose the Vanu Sovereignty solely based on their Mass Effect-influenced design and theme song, but in the heat of battle I sometimes have trouble differentiating between my purple squadmates and the red-themed Terran Republic. The blue-clad New Conglomerate are a bit easier to distinguish, but I've grown to rely on the marking system to pick targets, even though my character yelling out the enemy's position and class essentially gives away my position. At the start, there's also little in the way of diversity in the player base, as many of the low-ranked troops have yet to start purchasing new character skins, though some of my more ornately designed Vanu teammates later on had shades of purple on their costumes that almost looked like New Conglomerate's blue duds.
Other than being a friendly fire-hazard to my team, my first few hours in PlanetSide 2 were a bit rough; I wasn't leveled high enough to purchase access many of the military vehicles, I couldn't afford new weapons or accessories, and going it alone Rambo style wasn't fun. Since the only way to establish new spawn points is to capture an opponent's base or drive around the lumbering Sunderer combat bus (which are easy targets for heavy weapons), the frustration of a quick death was often compounded by respawning hundreds of yards from the next destination. Adding to the woes of the solo player was the lack of feedback and tutorials provided at the outset. The only time I got concrete info about each class' skill was the first time I chose them, the minimap is confusing until you take the time to explore the large maps in the menus, and controls outside of the vehicles are never explained. It's all stuff I eventually got the hang of within three hours, but if there was a training area or expanded tutorials, I would have learned much faster.
When I became more of a team player, my experience improved dramatically; thanks to the usually dependable "Instant Action" option, I got to warp directly to huge battles with player counts in the triple digits, and capturing persistent bases and checkpoints on the giant maps felt like an accomplishment. For as much as moving from one base to another can seem repetitive or meaningless, pulling out to the map of the entire continent and seeing a majority of the land in my faction's control instilled a sense of pride. Being a part of a squad increased my XP earnings, too, and even though people seem to rely more on the simple in-game order system instead of vocal communications, I felt a sense of camaraderie during quieter moments. Packing a bunch of troops into a Sunderer and leisurely caravaning across the plains between bases, or hanging out together exploring an empty base after crushing the opposition and taking ownership of the giant structure were the calm I needed just as much as the storm.
It also helped that after a few hours fighting on the relatively drab newb-only level-15-and-under continent of Koltyr, I moved on to explore the more alien-feeling regions like the arctic plains of Esamir or the arid deserts of Indar. There, the sights are a bit more breathtaking, and the more open layout with multiple paths to objectives didn't put me in the line of fire quite as often. That's not to say any of the four larger continents is anything approaching a cakewalk, since the level of competition in those locales is far greater.
Likewise, I was impressed by the variety of combat options thanks to PlanetSide 2's diverse set of six playable classes. I started as the well-rounded jetpack-equipped Light Assault trooper, and when I got tired of straightforward running and gunning (and hovering), I could camouflage myself to snipe or do stealth kills as an Infiltrator, or work on taking out the enemy's big guns as a Heavy Assault. Every class has a pretty decent loadout at first, but getting new weapons was a bit of a trial - entirely new weapons cost a whole lot of the slowly earned Certification currency, and while add-ons like magnification scopes or night vision are considerably cheaper, you can't test any weapon or modification before purchase. A few times, something that sounded good in the menu text didn't quite meet my expectations.
Fortunately, my weapon woes didn't matter as much when I went behind the frontlines and helped out as a Medic or a vehicle-fixing Engineer. The change of pace from being actively engaged in firefights and relatively stress-free XP gained from keeping your faction running strong is a great way to decompress after an intense battle – though Medics and Engineers can still hold their own in a fight, should the need to fight arise.
Taking a new approach by manning a vehicle or gun changes things up even more, with everything from ATVs and tanks to aircraft like fighters and dropships. Like the different classes, there's a steep curve to learning the controls, which are shown far too briefly when you get behind the wheel, and I did have some early frustration and vehicular mishaps that cost me a bunch of the slowly regenerating Nanite currency - it's hard to learn to fly when cockpit time is so limited. However, playing as an armored Max suit and laying waste to enemy troops with dual-wielded heavy weapons and powerful armor was probably my most exhilarating experience in PlanetSide 2, and right from the start I felt like a badass instead of a bumbling fool. It might take a long time to afford new weapons or get meaningful upgrades like flying vehicles and the Nanite-consuming Max class, especially if you don't pay to speed up your progression, but getting there is a good time.

Submerged Review
While there are definitely prettier shooters on the PS4, PlanetSide 2 manages to keep a steady 30 FPS frame rate during even the most hectic of battles, with the only stuttering movement caused by lag. I did run into a few glitches during the early days after launch; sometimes I'd spawn on uneven terrain or at the enemy's spawn point and immediately die in both instances, and on three occasions I've had the game crash to the PlayStation 4's main menu. However, for the dozen-plus hours I've spent in PlanetSide 2 so far, those incidents were spaced out enough that my experience was relatively stable for a new game launch during the first week.
It's always darkest before the dawn, and my experience learning to fight in PlanetSide 2's huge battles was the price I paid for the fun that comes later. Expect vagueness, under-explanation, and frustration at the start, but perseverance is rewarded with sci-fi warfare on a scale you'll see in few other shooters. For a cost of zero dollars and zero cents, it's a sight shooter fans should see for themselves.
Across the continents of Auraxis, thousands of players will come together in enormous battles to win control of territory and resources for their empire in PlanetSide 2.

War in Ukraine: the acceleration of the EU enlargement could be just apparent
Employment and Social Affairs 12 March 2022 , by Newsletter European
Russia's invasion of Ukraine unleashed the requests by almost every Country with a pro-European government to accelerate its EU and NATO integration, as an instrument to prevent the threat posed by Moscow's ambitions. Apart from Ukraine, even Moldova, Georgia, Kosovo, Bosnia Herzegovina demanded an acceleration of their integration process following the war exploded in Europe.
The Slovenian President, Borut Pahor, highlighted that the EU enlargement has become a "geopolitical priority" for the continent following Russian invasion of Ukraine. Speaking during the Antalya Diplomatic Forum, in Turkey, Pahor stressed the importance to accelerate the enlargement process with Ukraine and in the Balkans, mentioning namely the case of Bosnia Herzegovina that is according to him under urgent risk of instability otherwise. But on the other hand, apart from a moral support, there is no concrete prospect for a real acceleration of enlargement.
This scenario has emerged also during the informal meeting of European leaders hosted by the French presidency in Versailles. French President Emmanuel Macron has to some extent led western European leaders in rejecting appeals from Ukraine for fast-track EU membership despite the backing of Eastern Europe Member States. The 27 EU leader in Versailles acknowledged the need to deepen the partnership with Kyiv. However, calls from Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, supported by Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, for a special membership process failed to convince France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Macron said he wanted to "send a strong signal in this period to Ukraine and to the Ukrainians" of solidarity but "at the same time, we must be vigilant", adding that he did not believe it possible to "open an accession procedure with a country at war". "Should we close the door and say never, it would be unfair," he added. The Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, said that there is no prospect of the EU membership for Ukraine in the short term. "There is no fast-track procedure to become a member of the EU", he stressed. "Nobody entered the European Union overnight," said Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, head of government of one of the Country more in favour of enlargement and that joined the EU in 2013 following a long process. At the end of the day the EU, despite the shock of the war, seems not willing to drastically change its stance on enlargement nor to give a fast track to someone penalizing other Country already in the waiting room since long time.
About Ukraine's accession to the Eu, said Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, a message of encouragement "would be of great help" but at the same time it is necessary to "respect what other countries say". And the majority of EU Country, starting from France that is even in pre-electoral period, still is too lukewarm on the enlargement.

TRUCK ACCIDENT NEWS
USA Trucking Accident News and Information
Every day we share the road with large trucks, often referred to as big rigs, semis, tractor trailers or 18-wheelers. It is estimated that there are over two million trucks operating on highways around the country on any given day, accounting for roughly four percent of all registered vehicles in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one person is killed or injured in a truck crash every 16 minutes. The simple truth is these vehicles are big and heavy and carry lethal force into any collision.
As you might imagine, truck accidents are far more dangerous for us than they are for truckers. Weighing as much as 80,000 pounds and in some cases reaching 75 feet in length these vehicles pose a threat to motorists even under optimal circumstances. But if there is a slight mechanical flaw with the truck, or if the driver loses focus for just one second, the results can be catastrophic.
VIEW OUR NEW TRUCK STATEWIDE ACCIDENT HEAT MAPS
CLICK HERE TO FIND AN ACCIDENT
The Truth About Truck Crashes:
Large truck crashes increased by two percent in 2011, and injury crashes involving large trucks rose 10 percent, according to saferoads.org.
The amount of people killed annually in truck accidents amounts to a major airline crash every other week.
In fatal crashes involving a large truck and a passenger vehicle, 98 percent of those killed are occupants of the passenger vehicle.
The societal cost associated with commercial truck crashes amounts to over $83 billion per year.
A big rig moving at 60 miles-per-hour takes roughly the length of a football field to come to a complete stop.
In 2012, six out of the top ten most common commercial truck out-of-service violations related to tires or brakes.
One out of every five trucks inspected is placed out-of-service due to various vehicle deficiencies.
Nearly 70 percent of truck crashes reported in the U.S. occur in rural areas.
Large trucks account for 17 percent of the U.S.'s transportation energy use.
In the heat maps, you will see just how prevalent and widespread truck crashes are. Each map shows truck crash data associated with a given state. States have their own departments of transportation, zoned into various districts, and each district is charged with oversight for the roads under their jurisdiction. Within each district, you will see pins that show the location (either exact or approximate) of a truck accident. These pins are interactive, and can be clicked on to learn more about particular crashes.
Looking at all these pins on our truck crash heat maps, patterns begin to emerge. In California, for example, there is a stretch of Interstate 5 that is obviously a dangerous corridor for truck accidents (it is actually the most dangerous section of highway for truck accidents in the state). In Pennsylvania, we see that many truck accidents are clustered in and around the Philadelphia area, making it one of the more dangerous parts of the state in which to drive. But the larger story here is that the heat map shows a majority of truck crashes in Pennsylvania occur in rural areas, mirroring national statistics (nearly 70 percent of truck crashes in the nation occur in rural areas).
There are many things to be gleaned from looking at these heat maps, the largest of which is that truck accidents happen far too often and affect far too many people. Clearly, a lot of work needs to be done if we are to reduce the number of truck crashes.
The truck accident attorneys at Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman are all too familiar with the devastation associated with truck accidents. Their lawyers have testified before state and federal governmental safety committees concerning trucking safety, other modes of transportation safety, and various consumer safety issues. The firm has decades of experience handling major truck accidents across the nation.
In an effort to reduce the amount of truck crashes we see every year, the firm is looking to partner with local and state transportation districts and news agencies from across the nation to help us shine a light on truck accidents. It is our hope that by building a database of detailed truck crash information, we can raise awareness and influence public policy on important decisions concerning trucking, such as keeping heavier trucks off our nation's highways, implementation of collision avoidance systems, and barring truckers from being behind the wheel for more hours per day than is safe.
