De La Soul 3 Feet High.
The most inventive, assured, and playful debut in hip-hop history, 3 Feet High and Rising not only proved that rappers didn't have to talk about the streets to succeed, but also expanded the palette of sampling material with a kaleidoscope of sounds and references culled from pop, soul, disco, and even country music. Weaving clever wordplay and deft rhymes across two dozen tracks loosely organized around a game-show theme, De La Soul broke down boundaries all over the LP, moving easily from the groovy my-philosophy intro "The Magic Number" to an intelligent, caring inner-city vignette named "Ghetto Thang" to the freewheeling end-of-innocence tale "Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin's Revenge)." Rappers Posdnuos and Trugoy the Dove talked about anything they wanted (up to and including body odor), playing fast and loose on the mic like Biz Markie. Thinly disguised under a layer of humor, their lyrical themes ranged from true love ("Eye Know") to the destructive power of drugs ("Say No Go") to Daisy Age philosophy ("Tread Water") to sex ("Buddy"). Prince Paul (from Stetsasonic) and DJPasemaster Mase led the way on the production end, with dozens of samples from all sorts of left-field artists -- including Johnny Cash, the Mad Lads, Steely Dan, Public Enemy, Hall & Oates, and the Turtles. The pair didn't just use those samples as hooks or drumbreaks -- like most hip-hop producers had in the past -- but as split-second fills and in-jokes that made some tracks sound more like DJ records. Even "Potholes on My Lawn," which samples a mouth harp and yodeling (for the chorus, no less), became a big R&B hit. If it was easy to believe the revolution was here from listening to the rapping and production on Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, with De La Soul the Daisy Age seemed to promise a new era of positivity in hip-hop.

Fox Sports 1 Looks to Score Big with Digital Media
With an edgy new cable network and a slew of new digital properties, Fox Sports aims to create for fans and advertisers a multiplatform, 24/7 sports news and entertainment experience.
The weekend of Aug. 17 crackled with excitement for pro sports fans. New England Patriots starting quarterback Tom Brady played what many commentators called a "nearly perfect" preseason game, despite torquing his knee during a scrimmage earlier in the week. In baseball, the Boston Red Sox stuffed the New York Yankees 6-1 on Saturday, but the Yankees struck back the following day. After Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster hit Alex Rodriguez with a fastball in the second inning on Sunday, A-Rod homered in the sixth to propel the Yankees to a 9-6 victory over the Sox. Take that, Dempster.
For analysis of Brady's performance and whether Dempster purposely whacked A-Rod, sports fans had a new network to tune to that weekend: Fox Sports 1, a national 24-hour cable sports channel with an irreverent tone. To make fans aware of the new cable network, Fox inundated its local affiliates with promotions in the days and weeks leading up to the launch. Fox also promoted the debut of Fox Sports 1 on its flagship sports website, FoxSports.com, home to more than 32 million unique visitors each month.
Fox's use of FoxSports.com to promote the new network represents one of many ways television and digital media can support each other: The website directs visitors to the cable network, and the cable network drives TV viewers to the site.
Broadcasters referring TV viewers to their networks' companion websites is not new. Neither is using a website to tease network programming. But Fox Sports is ratcheting up the synergies between television and digital media to create a richer, more compelling 24/7 experience across viewing platforms. The broadcaster sees its digital properties (websites, mobile apps, and social media accounts) as essential components of its consumer engagement strategy and broader business strategy, and is working to combine the power of both media to more effectively attract consumers and serve advertisers' needs.
"Audiences are increasingly splitting their attention between screens," observes Pete Vlastelica, Fox Sports' senior vice president of digital. "We have to think about how we serve our audience across whatever devices they may be using, whenever they want to engage with us. To focus only on the television platform is to miss a tremendous opportunity to engage an audience when live shows aren't on, and to miss a significant revenue opportunity to bring advertising to that engaged audience."
Findings from Deloitte LLP's most recent "State of the Media Democracy" survey support Vlastelica's observations. More than 80 percent of U.S. consumers surveyed multitask while watching TV, and their top multitasking activities include surfing the Web, checking email, sending text messages, or using a social network. Twenty-six percent of survey respondents own a laptop, smartphone, and tablet.
"American consumers have a voracious appetite for digitized information and entertainment, and increasingly use multiple devices simultaneously to consume content," notes Mike Brinker, a principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. practice leader for Deloitte Digital.
Competing for Digital Dollars
As proof of its commitment to digital media, Fox relaunched FoxSports.com in 2013. The goals? Develop a mobile-friendly site that mimics the tone and style of the new cable network, and create a surging digital advertising inventory for sponsors.
"We want to offer to our brand partners sponsorship opportunities that are integrated across our television and digital platforms, and that take advantage of the strengths of those platforms—digital's presence and interactivity and television's reach and impact," says Vlastelica. "It's really difficult to offer integrated opportunities for brands when your digital properties, products, and editorial features aren't aligned with your core television products."
To that end, Vlastelica's 150-person team is currently developing a number of new blogs for each show on Fox Sports 1 and each sport the new network has invested in carrying (college basketball and football, major league baseball, NFL football, UEFA and CONCACAF soccer, NASCAR, and Ultimate Fighting Championship matches). Fox Sports also plans to launch a new mobile app, Fox Sports GO, that lets Fox Sports 1 subscribers stream live games on their mobile devices.
Content on the redesigned site features the same 'we have attitude, but we don't take ourselves too seriously' tone that the network is trying to promote, to distinguish itself from competitors and attract visitors who seek a unique perspective just as much as stats. Recent headlines on the site included, "Tiger may get a major math lesson he won't like: 1 is greater than 5" and "Huh? UFC prez Dana White defends A-Rod: 'He completely changed my life'."
"There's not a lot of differentiation in the sports content category. Every mainstream sports site looks pretty much identical, and it's been that way since 1995," says Vlastelica. "We want to change that."
The site also includes interactive features designed to more tightly integrate FoxSports.com and Fox Sports 1 and engage viewers across both platforms. A polling application called Connect Live with Fox Sports, which launched Aug. 19, allows hosts of "Crowd Goes Wild," Fox Sports 1's live sports and entertainment talk show, to involve the studio and home audience in the flow of the show. When a host asks a question, she directs viewers to the polling application on FoxSports.com, where they can cast votes. Questions like, "What do you think of Regis's new haircut: love it or hate it?" and "Which city has the worst sports fans: Boston, New York, Los Angeles, or Miami?" illustrate Fox Sports 1's irreverent style.
"The idea behind 'Connect Live with Fox Sports' is to make the audience a cast member and give them a feeling of participating in the show," says Vlastelica. "We think it represents real progress in the way broadcasters think about their audience."
Digital's Rising Influence at Fox Sports
Digital media has touched many aspects of network operations, including production and talent development. Each of Fox Sports 1's production teams include a digital producer whose responsibilities involve finding ways for show hosts to engage the television audience on social media sites while programs air. For example, Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole, hosts of Fox Sports Live, frequently solicit audience feedback via social media, and relay it, during their nightly highlights and commentary program.
http://youtu.be/AfIhZxJKH6M
Digital producers also repurpose television content for FoxSports.com. The outtakes, extended interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage provide Fox Sports with coveted video inventory for advertisers and help align Fox Sports 1 with FoxSports.com. The trick for producers? Finding content likely to go viral. Of course, when you have Michael Strahan, retired defensive end for the New York Giants, interviewing former foe Tom Brady about his life with supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen, or entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner Marc Cuban saying whether he'd invest in random sports inventions featured on the Web, monster views are pretty much assured.
Regarding talent development, Vlastelica indicates that Fox Sports is hiring show hosts from new sources. For example, Katie Nolan, Crowd Goes Wild's digital correspondent, lacks a traditional television background. She made a name for herself when a digital show she hosted and produced for the website Guyism.com took off on YouTube.
"We place a premium on television talent that knows how to engage audiences on platforms like Twitter," says Vlastelica.
The SVP has other ideas for using technology to attract sports fans across platforms. While he declined to disclose specifics, he indicated he'd like to see the experience of watching live games on TV become more social. He also thinks the sports content category would benefit from personalization—a priority for FoxSports.com.
"Our ideas for differentiating Fox Sports 1 aren't traditional. We want to challenge the status quo because it's the only way to grow," says Vlastelica. "My hope is that we're moving in a direction that's not just different, but truly valuable to our audience."

The American poor spread to suburbia, but we're not ready
As Americans from all income groups continue to flock to the suburbs, the poor are particularly affected by a lack of transportation options.
Yonah Freemark February 25, 2010
"My neighborhood" woodleywonderworks
Let's face it: American public policy has yet to respond to or even grasp the profound change in settlement patterns that has been gradually making its mark on the nation's landscape over the past few decades.
Is Free Public Transit an Idea Whose Time Has Come?
Derailment Sidelines 60 Percent of Washington Metro Railcar Fleet
Boston Pilot Project Finds Free Transit Increases Ridership
Hoboken, New Jersey, Has Recorded Zero Traffic Deaths for Three Years Straight
Cities from Detroit to Des Moines have been pushing the gentrification of their downtowns, with generally positive results, and the results are well documented.
But more consequential to a far larger group is the mass out-migration of impoverished people from center cities into the suburbs, often in the same metropolitan areas. According to a recent Brookings Institute Study, the process is accelerating. Between 2000 and 2008, the percent of poor people living in the suburbs increased by 25%, compared to by 5.6% in central cities and 15.4% for the nation as a whole. More of the poor now live in the suburbs than in central cities: 12.5 million versus 11 million.
The out-migration of the lower-middle class has been just as notable.
From a transportation perspective, this change in the lifestyles of the poor will have a significant effect. Public transit works best when it's in dense urban centers because it can provide efficiencies of scale by offering service to many people at the same time. This allows it to be cheap enough to satisfy most of the transportation needs of the poor — but only if they live in communities that can be adequately served by buses and trains.
When urban poverty was concentrated in the inner city, at least those who lived there were able to have relatively quick and convenient access via train or bus to the jobs in the downtown office core.
Unfortunately, the increasing presence of poor people in the suburbs means a growing share of the population that lives in sprawling neighborhoods where the provision of mass transit is limited at best — and cannot be expanded at a reasonable cost.
It's worth looking at one particularly affected region — the Washington, D.C. metro area — to understand what's going on. According to the Brookings report, the number of poor people in the region's core cities, including Washington, Arlington, and Alexandria, decreased by 15,000 between 2000 and 2008, to 121,000. In the suburbs, on the other hand, the number of poor exploded by 40,000 to 251,000. Though the poverty rate in the central cities remains higher, the sheer number of poor people in the suburbs is much greater. And it means that the people living in transportation-rich inner-cities are becoming relatively wealthier.
An Urban Land Institute/Center of Housing Policy report from last year clarified both the causes and the effects of those changes. The primary explanation of the migration is the availability of low-cost housing on the suburban fringe in Maryland and Virginia; though lodging is still relatively cheap in many of the eastern parts of the District, suburban homes are both cheap and new. Even more attractive is the fact that suburbs promote the image of a crime-free, pastoral environment, a perception that unfortunately tends to fade away once too many poor people make the leap out of the inner-city core.
The high rate of foreclosures in Washington's eastern and southern suburbs is indicative of the degree to which the lower-middle class has chosen to leave the inner city. The primary consequence of this move away from the dense core is an increase in transportation costs, primarily because of a corresponding increase in the use of private automobiles: the Urban Land Institute report documents an almost inverse relationship between housing prices and transportation costs. Suburban dwellers — rich or poor — find themselves in a situation where their only choice is driving relatively expensive cars.
When a family simply can't afford to own and operate an automobile, the result is a massive reduction in mobility.
In this context, Celia Dugger's recent article in The New York Times about Johannesburg, South Africa's new bus rapid transit system seems particularly relevant. Her discussion of the difficulties of commuting for a nanny living far from the wealthy enclave in which she works is framed in terms of the long-term effects of apartheid, but her situation described could also be interpreted as yet another example of the class-based segregation that disrupts the lives of the working poor in many major cities.
Do U.S. cities provide adequate transportation for people in poor, suburban communities? Surely not in every case, since Americans of all income classes face increasingly long commutes that often don't seem much different than that of the South African woman profiled in the Times article. Many metropolitan regions have developed in a way that requires a large percentage of the population to take hours-long journeys to get from home to work. This is not a problem confined to the southern hemisphere.
Are the American poor seriously limited by their place in the urban landscape? Can we build housing in a denser manner throughout metro regions, in both inner cities and suburbs, to ensure that we can provide adequate transit everywhere? Can we find ways to encourage the poor to stay in the cities, where they have greater mobility?
I don't have easy answers to any of these questions, but current federal and local policy does not address the commuting needs of the suburban poor. Too many federal dollars are spent in an effort to attract people to cheap home loans and onto new highways — incentives that ultimately inspire people to move out of the inner-cities, where transportation is cheaper. Meanwhile, neither the federal government nor states have shown leadership in promoting a new way of thinking about and developing the suburbs, whose form remains stuck in the 1950s model, one that may be appealing but which is ultimately difficult to promote for people at the bottom of the income bracket.

Discipleship – Are We Misunderstanding the Message of Yeshua?
"Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away" (Mark 4:24-25 ESV).
In this passage, Yeshua holds his followers accountable for the teachings he is giving them. He tells them that the more diligent they are about understanding his teachings, the more they will be rewarded. He also tells them the converse — that if they are not diligent in regard to understanding his teachings, even what they do comprehend will be taken away.
This song's popularity arose from the American Revolution. Each of us grew up singing this song, but how many of us understand the words? There's always that question in the back of our heads as to why this man named Yankee Doodle would stick a feather in his hat and name it after some kind of pasta. This song has been passed down to each generation over the last two centuries, yet today the meaning has been lost to the average person. But just like the words of our Master, it has been retained, however, for those seeking to understand it.
First, "Yankee Doodle" was not the name of an individual. We still understand that a "Yankee" is a person from the (now) United States, particularly of the northern colonies during the writing of this song. A "doodle," however, is no longer in our language. But during this time period, a "doodle" was a word that was derived from the German word for "fool" or "simpleton." Lastly, the term "macaroni" in this case has absolutely nothing to do with pasta. Rather, it has to do with a manner of dress style. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as, "an 18th-century British dandy (a man unduly devoted to style, neatness, and fashion in dress and appearance) affecting Continental fashions." With this information available, the lyrics of this song take on a whole new understanding.
If the meanings of these words in English have changed that much in just the last two centuries, how much more so have they changed from the time of our Master until now? If this simple children's song needs unpacking, how much more so do the words of our Master, being distanced from us by way of language, culture and two thousand years?
Another example that I enjoy making use of can be seen in the classic film, The Princess Bride. In the movie, Vizzini (the short, loud-mouthed Sicilian "master criminal"), uses the catch-phrase, "Inconceivable!", over and over when something doesn't go as planned. He uses it more for "impossible" than "unimaginable." At one point where something hasn't gone as planned and he responds again with "Inconceivable!", Inigo Montoya (the Spanish swordsman in the film), challenges him saying, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Albeit comical in nature, this infamous interjection in many ways parallels the typical use of the teachings of the New Testament in our present day. Many of us are quoting the words of Jesus in our teaching and preaching — talking a lot of "macaroni" — but do we really know what they mean? Let me give you a humorous example to illustrate my point.
To paraphrase, he says that when we do injustice to the teachings of our Master, it can have the same result as re-writing our Bibles. Really? Let's look at two real-life examples in which this took place. The first example is from one of the early Church Fathers. The second example is from rabbinic tradition.
Another example of misapplication through misunderstanding is the origin of the sects of the Sadducees and of the Boethusians (a lesser-known Jewish sect of the Second Temple period).
"Antigonus of Socho received the Torah from Shimon the Righteous. He used to say: Be not like servants who minister unto their master for the sake of receiving a reward, but be like servants who serve their master not upon the condition of receiving a reward; and let the fear of Heaven be upon you" (Avot 1:3).
Antigonus of Socho lived a couple of hundred years before the time of Yeshua. He was a godly and faithful teacher who wished to impress upon his students the value of sincere spiritual devotion. His first generation of students appears to have understood his message. However, in subsequent generations, his message was subject to hyper-literalism (not unlike the modern Karaite movement of today) and was thus distorted and for many more generations became the antithesis of his original message. Here's the full account.
According to Jewish tradition, two latter-generation disciples of Antigonus of Socho, Tzadok and Boethus, were the founders of the sects of the Sadducees and Boethusians. They founded their heretical sects based on a misunderstanding of this seminal teaching of their rabbi. They turned the teaching of their rabbi completely on its head. As we know, the purpose of Antigonus of Socho's maxim was to teach his disciples to serve the Holy One selflessly and without a need for reward. He wanted them to be faithful servants who fulfill their spiritual service under any circumstance, rather than only when they are rewarded for their service.
What was the practical result of this? Because the message of Antigonus of Socho was misunderstood, hedonism became common practice among the Sadducean sect, as well as social elitism, a "caste-like" system that was developed to separate the rich from the poor. Hedonism—since there was no reward in the Age to Come, all rewards must be received and enjoyed in this life. Social elitism—since the wealthy were surely blessed and favored by God and the poor were wicked sinners.
Many people today, and throughout the course of the last two millennia, have heard the teachings of Yeshua, and have incorporated them into their spiritual journey as a treasured possession. But how many thousands upon thousands over the course of this time have either not understood them, or misunderstood them. This is the equivalent of being stranded on a deserted island with crates full of canned food and a can-opener, and not knowing how to use the can-opener.
Beyond merely knowing the teachings of our Master (as we discussed in the section of memorization), this is indeed the "preliminary step to living out his commands." And although Christianity has done well to retain an accurate record of the Master's teachings, we have not done so well by way of transmitting his interpretations. This, in turn, has affected our application of his teachings.
It is our job as disciples of Yeshua to seek an accurate understanding of Yeshua's teachings so that we will ultimately fulfill them in the proper manner. This follows Paul's admonition to, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). But how do we do so? The first step is to use the proper filter to approach his teachings. There have to be certain assumptions that we must either accept or reject to establish as a foundation before we can approach the individual teachings of our Master. This will be the basis for our next lesson, Understanding the Message of Yeshua. In it I will give specific examples of how we have traditionally misunderstood the message of Yeshua, and how we can seek to better understand his teachings.

For anyone that has been pregnant before, you will know how special it is. Regardless of how sick you might have felt, you know that it is a special time and your body is doing something amazing; growing a human! But at the time, you might not appreciate it as it happens. But you never know if you'll be having more children (or if you even want more children). So learning to embrace all aspects of pregnancy is something that many women regret. If you're pregnant for the first time, then try to embrace it all now and as it happens. So here are a few things that you might regret not enjoying more as it happens. Can you relate? Are there any other things that you would add to the list?
Trying For a Baby. Some people try; for other people, it just happens. But if you are in the 'trying' camp, and it hasn't happened the way that you have wanted it to or is taking longer than you want it to, then try to just embrace that time with your other half. Trying for a baby can take the romance out of it a little, so bring that back into the equation. You never what will happen when it is all a lot less regimented and organised.
Finding Out You're Pregnant. If there is ever a time to have completely mixed feelings about something, then it will be when you find out that you are having a baby. It can be met with fear, shock, and horror. But for most people, there will be some joy in the mix too. So try to focus on the happy parts of finding out that you're pregnant and just what a miracle it is. A lot of people can feel anxious about finding out that they are pregnant, which can only lead to them feeling happy about it much later on. So look for the positives, and enjoy it all. You are not likely to want to regret not feeling happy that you were pregnant with your little.
Pregnancy Reveal. These days are there some really elaborate ways to tell people that you're expecting a baby. So I'm not saying that you have to announce the pregnancy in one of those ways to really embrace and enjoy it. However, it is the one time in your life when you can have some real fun with it. You can trick family and friends, pull a prank or just make a cute announcement. I think that a lot of people regret not marking the occasion more when they simply tell people. So get on Pinterest if something more elaborate takes your fancy, and get creative. Have fun with it and embrace this stage of your life.
Documenting The Pregnancy. There are so many fun ways to document your pregnancy at the moment. If you're on social media, no doubt you will have seen lots of fun ways to document your pregnancy. From a daily photograph of your bump to making a time-lapse video, there are lots of creative ways to go about it. Even if you just keep it for you to look back on, it can be a lovely memory to have. There are even apps that will send you a reminder to take a belly picture and then will put together a little video for you. So it is easy and fun to do.
Another thing that more and more people are looking to do when they're pregnant is to make a cast of their baby bump for a physical memory of it all. So just like you might make some baby casts of their hands and feet when they're born, a cast of your bump could be a fun way to document your pregnancy. So if you are pregnant and haven't been doing much to document it, you might want to start doing something, so you don't regret it later on. Personal choice, of course, though.
Baby Shopping. When it is your first child, you can get a little overwhelmed with all that you need to get for them. But to be real, there are only a handful of things that they need to have right from the start. You can get things as you go along. But regardless of when you choose to get things for your baby, it is important to enjoy it all. Of course, it is going to cost you a fair bit of money. But what a special time in your life to be doing this? Have fun doing the shopping for your baby and embrace it all. There are so many cute things out there to coo over, so try to enjoy it while you can.
Body Changes. It can be hard to see your body changing in so many ways and so quickly. It can be overwhelming and get you down. But at the end of the day, it is important to remember that you are growing a human! Your body has to change to accommodate the life it is growing. And as long as you are doing some gentle exercise and eating well, then you won't have to worry. Your body will get back to itself sooner rather than later. Embrace the changes, but make sure that you're eating well and taking care of yourself as you did before.
Resting. When you go on maternity leave just before your baby is born, then you have all of the time in the world. So embrace resting and doing whatever you want to do, before it is too late! Even when the baby is born, they will sleep quite a lot of the time to start with. So choose something to read or watch that you can enjoy, almost uninterrupted. Because as soon as your baby is a couple of months older, you will no longer enjoy such peace, as you'll have a crawler or toddler to contend with. So enjoy all of these stages as they go along.

A: I see that you have not specified the goggle play services library.
Instead of this
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

Try this
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'

Note: You might have a different version so instead of 7.8 enter that.

A: Bump, in my case I was using too high version:
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1"

I changed it to:
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.+"

It worked but I have no idea why isn't appstate included in versions above 7

A: Firstly you should check that /extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib> is exist.
Secondly you add code in build.gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.+'

A: You are missing the com.google.android.gms.appstate package. you should add this to your app. for that add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.+' to your build.gradle(Module:app).

Eve was a baby when humanity fell. It started when the Old Ones arrived. At first no one believed it. They'd heard rumours, but there were no photos, no footage. At April 11th 2012, Mr Snow killed the Prime Minister on national television.
Annie wanted to get Eve somewhere safe, but the airports were under siege. So Annie brought Eve to the habour together with Tom. But everyone else had had the same idea. There were around 50,000 people there, cramming onto ferries, yachts, container ships and tug boats. Annie told Eve the ships were groaning with the weight of them. And then the screams started. Vampires started killing people from the back of the crowd. There was this huge surge as everyone pushed forward, trying to get away. But there was nowhere for them to go. They all got killed. It was like the water was boiling, so many people were in there.
Whole countries stayed under human control for a while. But they'd get so overwhelmed by refugees, they'd have to start closing their borders and negotiating with the vampires. And then, eventually they fell too.
The Camps
Then the vampires rounded up all the humans and werewolves they could find. The humans were branded with an"H" and the werewolves with a "W", and put into these camps. There was an outbreak of cholera. Hundreds died, and the vampires brought back the dog fights. Tom became a cold man, difficult to like. There were rumours he'd killed some humans by accident one time and never got over it. Tom died at the camps. Some say he held beck during his final dog fight, even after he'd transformed. He'd rather have died than kill again. Eve also was in those camps. However they did not know who she was. She always had false papers and was just rounded up with the others.
It wasn't a world for children, but Annie was the best mum that she could be to Eve. After everything fell apart Annie buried friend after friend, Annie began to lose control of her tangibility until eventually Annie just drifted apart. Like smoke on the breeze. Eve hadn't seen Annie after she was 18.
young Eve
All her life, Eve had been carried around like a mascot, while the world around her crumbled and burned. She was protected all her life and humanity fell. At April 10th 2022 Isaac Daniels cared for her. He had made up a perfect story covering up her idententy. He said he is her father. However Mr. Snow caught them and realised that Isaac made up the story. He asked him about the eye color of Eve, but Isaac could not answer this questions. So Mr. Snow realised that the girl was Eve. He killed Isaac. He let Eve live and made sure that she got to the city safely.
Hal became one of their most ruthless commanders. The camps were his idea. Hal became violent, sadistic and quite literally the poster boy of the Old Ones.
Then in 2037 New York fell. The world belonged to the vampires. Eve got the final piece of the scripture and it said: In order to fulfil her destiny, the War Child must die. It was too late for Eve to change her world, but she thought that maybe she could stop it ever happening. She asked Lucas to kill her, so that she could go back through time and rewrite the history, based on Annie's stories of John Mitchell reliving his past after entering Purgatory.
Eve's history and Annies started to separate at the moment that Eve appeared to Hal, Leo and Pearl. Since Eve was trying to rewrite history she talked to them and sent them to Annie, projecting a message that her past self might be able to help Leo as his transformations reached the point where they might kill him. She thought getting Hal into the house would do that, reasoning that the monster Hal had been in her world would kill Baby Eve as soon as he worked out who she was. However, when Hal proved to be a better man, she sent Kirby, the ghost of a former serial killer, using Annie's stories to help Kirby claim that he had been sent by Nina. However, although Kirby nearly broke up the household, when Annie returned to 'destroy' him, Eve realised that, even if she sent a thousand threats, Annie's love for her would always defeat them. So Eve had to come directly to Annie telling her about the world that she'd created, by not letting Eve be killed. She told Annie that she needed to remember that there will be a moment when Annie has to choose between letting her live and letting her die. And that if she wanted to stop this happening, Annie has to let Eve die. The future did not change until Annie blow up herself and Eve along with the Old Ones, killing all but Hal and Hetty (With Hetty being 'rescued' by the Men in Grey).

In this bundle, we've collected articles that focus on the key factors that play into how your site performs on social media, from choosing which buttons to use on your site, to optimizing images to be shared, and even how to encourage more users to visit your site from social media. Get ready to see your share counts grow!


announce.lua - Print an announcement to the screen and the gamelog.
df-ai - a script that plays alone in fortress mode.
force - Allows forcing of events. Some of them are iffy, some don't work at all. It's mostly functional.

instant transmission - Allows teleportation to units in adventure mode by adventurer. Also gives power level readout.
itemsyndrome - Allows items to impart syndromes when equipped.
moddableGods - Allows custom gods to be added as hist figures. They do nothing as of now. Might do something funny next version, but nobody knows what exactly.
Probability Syndrome - Run AutoSyndrome commands which honour reaction probabilities.
projectileExpansion - Allows a lot of stuff related to projectiles, such as explosions, syndrome addition and script running-on-creatures.
shapechange - Allows willful polymorph into arbitrary creature with filtering by ID or size.
skillroll - Allows for skills to be considered when running Lua scripts. Probability Syndrome is probably better for most purposes.

Meph nudged me and said it would be great to have a post that keeps track of all the third-party DFHack scripts. And it would be even better if anyone could edit that post to make sure it stay up to date.
As it happens, I have the ability to turn wiki pages into automatically updating phpBB forum posts. So in a couple of minutes this top-post is going to be replaced with wiki content. In the meantime, you can edit the wiki-page used to generate it here.
I'll also duplicate this information in the second post, so it doesn't get lost. There'll also be a short discussion on how you and do this yourself (all the tools are open source), but only after I've had a coffee.
Just as a completion, I will leave this here as well. Its also an announcement script. Its way inferior to milos, since this one has hardcoded announcements in the script, and needs an inorganic/interaction to call it. milo christiansen version adds the announcements into the inorganics/interactions directly, which takes out one work step.
-- makes custom announcements, for example for important items/events that are created in workshops.
-- needs to be called with autosyndrome, using a boiling rock with synclass:announcement.
-- can also be called with syndrometrigger, for example for a disease system that does not clog up the combat log.
-- you can do ~60 symbols before a line-break is added. Keep it short for best effect.
-- color accepts all color tokens that are valid in raws.
-- Text accepts all ANSI symbols, even things like ©¥¤¢†‡‰, calling tiles from the tileset.
-- If played without TrueTypeFont, this allows to make announcements that show tiles.
-- for each announcement you need another line here.
-- This script has been made possible by code from Siren.lua, ForceEvent.lua (Putnam) and coding by Meph.
This script adds announcememts to the game that you can control. You can call them with autosyndrome or syndrometrigger.
I decided to be bold and add all of mine.
I went bolder in my a few scripts of mine.
natural skills should be incorporated into spawn unit script really because afaik it's the only source of units not having natural skills set.
Transformations also cause that, I originally wrote because I was using trueTransform in my mod. However it is true that spawnunit can use this. I'll have a look.
I'm damn impressed by that AI so far, btw.
dwarves.rb - type "dwarves #" at the embark selector/map before you embark. It will raise your starting dwarves to the number you entered.
points.lua - type "points #" at the embark selector/map before you embark. It will raise your embark points to that number.
Added a link to my set of scripts.
I'll add mine as they come out. I might update occasionally though.

Citizenship Bill: KMSS & other organisations to launch agitation from Nov 5
We are going to distribute pamphlets exposing the BJP and RSS's designs to settle the Bengali Hindus in Assam: Akhil Gogoi

Dozens of organisations, protesting the Assam Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, which seeks to grant citizenship to Hindu Bangladeshis have decided to launch a movement from November 5 this year.
The protesting organisations feel that if the Bill is implemented, it will result in indigenous communities becoming minorities in their own land.
The Bill seeks to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955, to provide citizenship to illegal migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who are of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian extraction.
The Act doesn't have a provision for Muslim sects such as the Shias and Ahmediyas who also face persecution in Pakistan.
Peasants' organisation Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) Akhil Gogoi said that people in Assam and north-eastern states have been opposing the Bill on the ground that it would make the indigenous communities a minority in their own land.
Gogoi along with representatives of 60 organisations addressed a joint press conference on Saturday, saying the organisations will start a movement from November 5 this year if the Central government goes ahead with the Bill.
"The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 is under consideration of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC). It's illegal to issue any notification. But the BJP-led NDA government will try to execute the same in Assam and northeast as well," Gogoi said.
The 60 organizations including KMSS and AJYCP had called for Assam bandh on October 23 against the Bill and it evoked total response in Brahmaputra valley in Assam.
"We are going to distribute pamphlets exposing the BJP and RSS's designs to settle the Bengali Hindus in Assam. We are going to make the people aware about the threat of the Bill to the indigenous communities of Assam and other northeastern states," he said.
The organisations have also called a meeting on November 3 to discuss the next course of agitation against the Bill.

In Twitter the Cuban FM pointed out that this law is an "aberration that should never have existed". (Photo: PL).
In Twitter the Cuban FM pointed out that this law is an "aberration that should never have existed", as a response to the communiqué sent by Pompeo this Wednesday to the U.S. Congress.
"Rejection of US State #announcement about HelmsBurton law, an aberration that should never have existed. It violates international law, it harms every #Cuban, every family. 191 countries demand that it be eliminated entirety. The U.S. aggression against #Venezuela must cease without further pretexts," says the tweet, adding that the aggression against Venezuela must also cease without further pretexts.
In his text he refers that the United States "continues to examine the situation of human rights in Cuba," and adds that the State Department "is also monitoring the continuous military, security and intelligence support that Cuba" is offering Maduro, "who is responsible for the repression, violence and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
"We encourage anyone doing business in Cuba to reconsider whether they are trafficking in confiscated goods," Pompeo added, in open blackmail of companies around the world that do business with Cuba.
On January 16, he announced that he would only suspend it for 45 days, a position that the Cuban government called "a hostile act of extreme arrogance and irresponsibility," and already in March the State Department cancelled for another 30 days the effective application of Title III, although it would allow, as of March 19, the filing of lawsuits against more than 200 Cuban companies included in a unilateral list of economic sanctions (referred to as the List of Restricted Cuban Entities).
adds even more to the enormous damage caused by the blockade, since in addition to its extraterritorial character that seeks to intimidate those who currently trade or invest in Cuba, they seek to influence companies or people with an interest in investing.

I recently bought the tool set with smaller handles and softer grips, but I made sure it would last just as long, and work just as hard, as the heavy duty set my father won't let any of us touch.
As a woman, I need my tools, cars, phones, and just about everything else in my life, to work for me the way they might work for a man. But some studies show that women are not letting their money work as hard as that of their male counterparts.
Historically, men have taken the lead when it comes to investing and managing finances. Recent studies have shown that women are traditionally more timid and less confident about investing compared to men. For example, a 2011 study done by MassMutual found that only 26% of women were confident in making their own investment decisions, compared to 44% of men.
Women are an economic powerhouse, as according to U.S. Trust, they hold 89% of all bank accounts in the U.S., and control 83% of all consumer purchases. Yet most women do not invest, we save. The ability to save money is great, but with the low interest rates that most traditional savings accounts are currently offering, it may not be the best way to maximize your long-term dollars.
Investing may not be as easy as buying low and selling high, but it needn't be as scary and daunting as it may seem, either. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you think about entering the world of investing.
Think you know nothing about investments? You're not alone. Nobody is born knowing the differences between stocks and bonds, or an IRA and a Roth IRA. Do some research and see what might work for you. Start with the basics so you'll have a comfortable working knowledge of key investment principles, then build on your knowledge over time.
Not all investments are created equal. Studies have shown that women investors typically have a lower risk tolerance than men, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't invest. Some investments are less volatile and more conservative than others. Do your research and find out what types of investments you may feel comfortable with, while also considering your goals and time horizon.
Make investments a line item in your budget along with your savings, rent, and utilities. One of the biggest misconceptions about investing is that it's only for those with truckloads of cash to spare. Many people invest through their retirement plans at work, while others may choose to set up an investment account on their own and invest a set dollar amount each month.
If you think you need some guidance, consult a financial advisor. Find a qualified financial advisor who will help you realize your goals and work with you to develop a plan to help make it happen. You go to a doctor for your health needs, a stylist for your hair and a mechanic for your car. Why not a professional advisor to help manage your assets?
Whether you are starting small, or looking to make a large investment, try it on your own or hire a professional, investing should be a priority. When you create an investment strategy designed to help you reach your long-term goals, you're investing in yourself and in your future.

4 Democratic women slam Trump's 'xenophobic bigoted remarks'
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defiant in the face of widespread censure, President Donald Trump escalated his demand for four Democratic congresswomen of color to leave the U.S. "right now," stoking the discord that helped send him to the White House and claiming "many people agree with me."
Trump digs in against Democratic congresswomen; they're firing back
At a press conference, the congresswomen lambasted President Donald Trump's tweets as "xenophobic," "bigoted" and unworthy of the White House in an unusual standoff between first-year House lawmakers and a U.S. president.
A look at the 'squad' (including Ilhan Omar) that Trump targeted in racist tweets

Trump moves to effectively end asylum at southern border
WASHINGTON (AP) — Reversing decades of U.S. policy, the Trump administration said Monday it will end all asylum protections for most migrants who arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border — the president's most forceful attempt yet to block asylum claims and slash the number of people seeking refuge in America.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — When President Donald Trump tweeted that four congresswomen should "go back to where they came from," Erika Almiron was reminded of the first time she heard the same comments. She was a new fourth-grader at a predominantly white Italian-Catholic school.
