Q: Dynamic class loading: Is there a "method_missing" for classes in Ruby? On a Rails application I'm working on, I have a model "Type" that relates to the single-table-inheritance model "Node": any possible subclass of Node is defined as a Type in the types table.
Right now this is made possible loading all classes in an initializer, but I'd like to load the subclasses only when they are required.
The best solution I can think of would be having a fallback on an uninitialized constant that would check if that constant can represent a class in the application, something similar to what method_missing does.
I'd like some advice on how and where to define this logic, or if there's a better solution altogether.

A: there's const_missing method: it works like method_missing but it's about constants
http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Module.html#M000489

A: I don't know if this is new but as I thought it was worth adding. It is possible to use method missing as a class method
class Example
  def method_missing(method_name, *arguments, &block)
    puts 'needs this instance method'
  end

  def self.method_missing(method_name, *arguments, &block)
    puts 'needs this class method'
  end
end

A: There's Module#const_missing:
http://apidock.com/ruby/Module/const_missing
I assume you can (ab)use that for your needs.

A: Maybe you can rescue an undefined constant error and load/create your classes.


In today's blog post, our expert roofers talk about the red flags indicating the need to replace a commercial roof.
This form of damage appears as tears or holes on the roofing membrane. It occurs for various reasons, including carelessness when stepping foot on the roof and flying debris. It is a problem for commercial property owners because it exposes the roof to potential water intrusion, which could compromise the whole system. Too many punctures necessitate an immediate roof replacement project.
They form when gas gets trapped within the roofing system, causing it to expand when exposed to sunlight. It can be easily distinguished thanks to its long and thin raised areas resembling bubbles. As soon as blisters become apparent, call our expert pros for a roof inspection.
Improper roof installations are the leading cause of open laps, which may compromise the whole system. The roofer may have disregarded the application of adhesive on an entire lap or might have had insufficient preparations on the roof surface.
It is a common problem found in roofing systems that are attached mechanically. As strong winds blow through the property, the roof's fasteners begin to move back and forth, enlarging the hole around them. Membrane punctures could occur when ignored.
Trust American Roofing, Inc. for your commercial roof installation, replacement, and maintenance needs. Our roofing pros are GAF Certified Maintenance Professionals. You can be sure your investment remains protected through the years while reducing the risk of unexpected expenses and unnecessary disruption that may occur during leaks or other roof-related issues.

Cooper Leaving Chamber for Mote Marine
BY LISL LIANG SRQ DAILY FRESHLY SQUEEZED CONTENT EVERY MORNING THURSDAY DEC 13, 2018
Kevin Cooper, president of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, will step down to take on a new position at Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium.
"Ever since I began working with the team at Mote on the creation of the Siesta Key Crystal Classic sand-sculpting event, I've admired the organization," Cooper says. "I feel blessed to have the opportunity to devote my time to Mote's transformative efforts."
Mote officials announced late Wednesday that Cooper would join the organization as Vice President for Communications & Strategic Initiatives starting in early 2019. The move comes as Mote looks to expand its footprint and its research initiatives. Mote leaders announced plans earlier this year to open a new aquarium in Nathan Benderson Park while devoting its existing Sarasota aquarium to research space.
Mote President Michael Crosby says Cooper will also help evolve execute a long-term vision and strategic plan for the organization.
"A critical role for Kevin will be to work with and influence people across the entire organization and external stakeholder groups, and provide me with recommendations related to optimal effectiveness and efficiency of overall Mote operations," Crosby says. "Mote's mission depends on strategic thinking coupled with caring commitment—this is exactly what we see in Kevin."
Cooper has played increasingly significant roles in the region's business community since his arrival here in 2008. He led the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce before coming on as vice president at the Sarasota Chamber. He briefly left that organization to work as director of Community Investment for the Gulf Coast Community Foundation before returning to serve as president of the Chamber again.
Cooper will remain with the Chamber into 2019 before making the switch to Mote, and he plans to work with organization leaders on a transition. "In the meantime, Kevin will continue working hard on initiatives that will further The Chamber's mission in our community," says John LaCivita, Chamber chairman.
LaCivita says the Chamber remains strong as Cooper looks at his next move. "I am proud to say The Chamber could not be in a better place, and membership is continuing to grow within the community," he says.

"Time of the Sixth Sun" is an inspirational and uplifting movie and docu-series of extended interviews, about the shift in global consciousness and the emerging movement to find a new way to walk more lightly on this Earth.
Please Visit: https://estas.totssmovie.com to find out more and to register to watch it for free.
Time of the Sixth Sun is a feature documentary about the awakening and transformation of global consciousness, as we move into a more evolved state of being and ascend to a higher level of collective co-creation.
The strength of the film comes from the authenticity and integrity of the speakers: tribal leaders, scientists and visionary thinkers who are the pioneers of our time, each carry a sacred transmission.
Introduced by Greta Scacchi and narrated by Tobias our guide, the film loosely follows the journey of our 'everyman' protagonist who is provoked and nudged along on his journey by the 'trickster'. This story is interwoven with a montage of 'speakers' who explore the nature of new energy consciousness, walking us through the steps on our collective evolutionary path.

WELCOME TO SHANGRI-LA! A family built this home back in the day and raised a family. The architect was Todd Vander Pline and Pete Tucker was the builder who was also the Mayor of Hermosa Beach at that time. Good times lived here. It was probably the largest home in the neighborhood before mansions and mansionization. And, it has a lot of charming qualities so there are several ways you can go on this one. It already offers over 3,000 square feet with 5 bedrooms, a huge backyard full of lush landscape, tall palm trees and fruit trees and a sparkling swimming pool. There is a large sun deck where you can sit mesmerized by views of the city all day long and just do deals from here. Or, if you want to rebuild altogether, you can, because there's many examples right there in the legendary Hill section showing why it would be worth it without hesitation. Yet, you may just take care of what's here, because it's an excellent choice as well. (Some photos have been virtually staged including: family room, dining room, office, master bedroom and deck).

In this decision, the Commission approves increases to co-location floor space service rates for Bell Aliant and Bell Canada. These rates are charged to telecommunications service providers that co-locate in Bell Aliant's and Bell Canada's central offices in Ontario and Quebec.
1. Telecommunications service providers who place their equipment in an incumbent local exchange carrier's (ILEC) central office1 (co-location) pay a Commission-approved rate per square metre to lease central office floor space.
2. The Commission received applications from Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada (collectively, the Bell companies), dated 24 August 2012, in which they proposed revisions to their respective Access Services Tariff item 110 – Co-location arrangements for interconnecting Canadian carriers and digital subscriber line service providers. Specifically, the Bell companies proposed to increase the co-location floor space service rates per square metre in their operating territories in Ontario and Quebec from $13.30 to $13.51 for Bell Aliant and from $13.30 to $18.64 for Bell Canada.
3. The Commission received comments on the applications from the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. (CNOC); Globility Communications Corporation (Globility); and MTS Inc. and Allstream Inc. (collectively, MTS Allstream) [collectively, the competitors]. The public record of this proceeding, which closed on 29 January 2013, is available on the Commission's website at www.crtc.gc.ca under "Public Proceedings" or by using the file numbers provided above.
a) Is the proposed methodology to set the floor space rates appropriate?
b) Are the proposed asset classes and asset lives for floor space appropriate?
c) Is the proposed methodology to estimate costs based on 2012 demand and 2011 costs appropriate?
5. The Commission generally sets wholesale service rates based on a service's incremental capital costs2 and incremental operating expenses plus a markup.3 For certain services that do not have incremental capital costs, the Commission has set rates based on incremental operating expenses plus a contribution to fixed and common costs based on the accounting costs associated with the capital resources.
6. In Telecom Decision 97-15, the Commission noted that due to the presence of vacant floor space, Bell Canada's floor space incremental capital cost was zero. In this context, the Commission set the company's floor space service rate based on the company's floor space capital accounting costs.
7. In Telecom Decision 2003-12, the Commission noted that the floor space incremental capital costs of each of the ILECs, except for MTS Inc.4 and TELUS Communications Company (TCC),5 were zero. The Commission, therefore, set the floor space rate for each of the ILECs at the same rate as that of MTS Inc.,6 reflecting MTS Inc.'s incremental costs plus a 15 percent markup. The Commission noted that this rate would provide each ILEC an appropriate compensation for the use of vacant floor space, including the associated operating expenses.
9. The Bell companies proposed revised co-location floor space service rates based on the associated company-specific incremental operating expenses plus accounting costs per square metre, with no markup. The Bell companies submitted that their proposed methodology to set rates is the same as that approved by the Commission in Telecom Decision 2010-900 for support structure services,8 since the incremental capital costs of floor space service, similar to support structure services, are zero. The Bell companies further submitted that their proposed methodology to include floor space accounting costs is also consistent with the Commission's determination in Telecom Decision 97-15.
10. The competitors submitted that the Commission should deny the Bell companies' applications and continue using the existing methodology to establish rates as set out in Telecom Decision 2003-12.
11. MTS Allstream noted that in Telecom Decision 2003-12, the Commission determined that Bell Canada had vacant floor space with respect to which the company had no alternative use. MTS Allstream argued that this determination remained valid for both Bell Canada and Bell Aliant, and that these companies had provided no compelling justification for the changes proposed.
12. Similarly, CNOC submitted that based on the absence of incremental capital costs associated with the use of the Bell companies' vacant floor space, the existing rate continues to provide these companies with a sufficient contribution for the use of floor space and need not increase.
13. Globility submitted that in Telecom Decision 2003-12, the Commission endorsed the rating principle that rates for co-location floor space service should be based on incremental capital costs, replacing the principle of setting rates based on accounting costs for capital, as approved in Telecom Decision 97-15.
14. The Commission notes that in Telecom Decision 2003-12, it recognized that Bell Canada's incremental capital costs associated with the provision of floor space in its central offices was effectively zero. In that decision, the Commission determined that floor space rates should nonetheless be set so as to provide compensation for the use of vacant floor space. The floor space rate set for Bell Canada in that decision was thus intended to cover their incremental operating expenses and to provide a contribution to the recovery of fixed and common costs, including accounting costs for capital.
15. The Commission however considers that the existing Bell companies' floor space rate, which was based on MTS Inc.'s 1997 costs, is outdated and that it would be more appropriate to base a co-location floor space rate on the Bell companies' own costs.
16. It is appropriate to set the Bell companies' monthly floor space rates using the methodology employed to set support structure rates in Telecom Decisions 2010-900 and 2011-406, since the incremental capital costs for both these services are zero. In those decisions, the Commission set support structure service rates based on incremental operating expenses plus a contribution to fixed and common costs based on the accounting costs associated with competitor use of the support structures. In Telecom Decision 2011-406, the Commission decided that the above contribution represented a markup, and also that no further explicit markup should be applied to the incremental operating expenses associated with the Bell companies' provision of support structure services.
17. Setting the Bell companies' monthly floor space rates to recover their associated incremental operating expenses and accounting costs with no further explicit markup ensures that, based on the competitors' use of floor space, competitors pay the incremental operating expenses and make a proportionate contribution to the Bell companies' accounting capital costs. This pricing approach ensures that the Bell companies' floor space rates would not be below cost and would not subsidize third parties, and therefore limits interference with the operation of competitive market forces.
18. The Bell companies submitted that in 2010, they reclassified the accounting of floor space costs from a single asset class9 to four new asset classes, namely 10C, 110C, 210C, and 310C,10 to further reflect the different nature of the floor space components. The Bell companies also proposed new asset lives11 of 30, 15, 25, and 50 years, respectively, for these new asset classes. Other parties did not provide any comments on this issue.
19. The Commission considers that the proposed new floor space asset classes and their associated asset lives are reasonable. The Commission also notes that the impact of the Bell companies' proposed asset reclassification on the total floor space costs is not significant.
20. Accordingly, the Commission approves the Bell companies' proposed new floor space asset classes and their associated asset lives.
21. To estimate the floor space accounting costs per square metre, the Bell companies provided a cost study based on 2011 cost data, the most recent cost information available, for those central offices where competitors were present in 2012. Other parties did not provide any comments on this issue.
22. The Commission considers that since the most recent floor space cost information available is for the year 2011, the rate should be based on cost information for those central offices where competitors were present for the same year, rather than 2012.
23. Accordingly, the Commission has revised the Bell companies' floor space accounting costs per square metre to reflect the use of demand and costs for the year 2011. This revision results in an increase in the co-location floor space rate per square metre for Bell Aliant of 0.7 percent, and a decrease for Bell Canada of 1.1 percent, relative to their respective proposed rates.
24. In light of the above, the Commission finds that co-location floor space rates, based on the Bell companies' proposed incremental operating expenses and a contribution to fixed and common costs equal to the accounting costs per square metre of floor space, as adjusted in this decision, and with no further explicit markup, are just and reasonable.
25. The Commission therefore approves co-location floor space monthly rates per square metre of $13.60 for Bell Aliant and $18.43 for Bell Canada.
26. The Commission directs the Bell companies to issue, within 20 days of the date of this decision, revised tariff pages to reflect the Commission's determinations in this decision.
27. The Policy Direction states that the Commission, in exercising its powers and performing its duties under the Telecommunications Act (the Act), shall implement the policy objectives set out in section 7 of the Act, in accordance with paragraphs 1(a), (b), and (c) of the Policy Direction.
28. The Commission considers that its findings in this decision advance the policy objectives set out in section 7 of the Act, including paragraphs 7(c) and 7(f).12 The Bell companies' monthly co-location floor space service rates approved in this decision were established with a view to ensuring that rates paid by competitors recover the associated incremental operating expenses and contribute to the companies' fixed and common costs. The Commission therefore considers that, in accordance with subparagraphs 1(a) (ii) and 1(b) (ii) of the Policy Direction, the rates approved in this decision are (a) efficient and proportionate to their purpose and interfere with competitive market forces to the minimum extent necessary to meet the above-referenced policy objectives, and (b) neither deter economically efficient competitive entry into the market nor promote economically inefficient entry.
Review of the large incumbent local exchange carriers' support structure service rates, Telecom Decision CRTC 2010-900, 2 December 2010, as amended by Telecom Decision CRTC 2010-900-1, 9 December 2010.
Rates for co-location floor space, Direct Connection service, Wireless Access Service: Line-side Access services, and Wireless Service Providers Enhanced Provincial 9-1-1 Network Access service, Telecom Decision CRTC 2003-12, 18 March 2003, as amended by Telecom Decision CRTC 2003-12-1, 19 November 2003.
 A central office is a building in which the ILECs install their own equipment to provide telecommunication services to consumers and business customers.
 Capital costs refer to the costs of the asset resources available to provide service for over more than a year.
 The markup, which provides a contribution to fixed and common costs, is usually based on a percentage of the incremental capital costs and incremental operating expenses.
 TCC also had incremental floor space capital costs; however, the Commission noted that the company had no objection to using MTS Inc.'s tariff as a proxy.
 Support structures include poles, strand, and conduits used to support the placement of telephone cables.
 Floor space asset classes refer to the different corporate accounts in which the Bell companies record their floor space related costs.
 Examples of floor space components included under the Bell companies' proposed new asset classes: (i) 10C – windows, heating/ventilation/air-conditioning; (ii) 110C - building automation, security systems; (iii) 210C – roof, elevators; and (iv) 310C - indoor parking, plumbing.
 Asset life refers to the average number of years an asset would be in service before being fully depreciated.

Q: can i add more than 1 pages in a module in magento? I already have a module and i want to create new page which redirected from 1st of my module.
I want to know how to create more than 1 page in a module and also how to link pages.

A: If you want to redirect directly from one action method to another you can use $this->_redirect('*/*/anothermethod') where the function is anothermethodAction() and is located within the same controller.
The first star indicates using the same frontname which is usually the same as the module name. The second star indicates using the same action controller which is the controller class that you are working with. So if you do $this->_redirect('sales/order/view') you are calling the action method viewAction() located in the order controller located in the sales module(this is a core module).

Say the world can't remember yesterday, or why its four corners curl up. Now, imagine a man who can't either, sitting at one of the world's ragged edges, considering that sea we call Night, and Time. From awaterstair he sketches by scraps of moonlight a crumbling wall he will one day call Point of Grace. Mist and dreamdrift beckon and elude.
Say you are he, or someone like: You wonder, fear, hope, all the usual. Mornings you wake clutching a duct-taped duffel; inside, you find a tin box of pencils, a swollen sketchbook, buckled drawings, scribbled warnings: Overstayed here. Don't go back. Maybe one day they will seem no stranger's dream.
Is this so hard, really? No, nor should you mourn this moment's passing, a light already lost. Only offer what thanks you can, turn up your collar, and go on.
Stunning prose to accompany this amazing picture.

Jewel-Craft Celebrates 70 by Celebrating Its Clients
Jewel-Craft is celebrating its 70 years in business at trade shows with a "Jeweler's Bench Challenge" game, modeled on the classic "Operation" game, as seen here at the MJSA Expo in New York.
Erlanger, Ky.--Jewel-Craft hit the big 7-0 this year, but it's not holding a party or sale to celebrate.
Instead, the company is showing its appreciation for the clients that helped get it there.
Throughout the year, its "Pay it Forward" campaign will thank its customers by giving random discounts, $0 invoices for work completed like sizing, CAD work and shipping, and thank-you gifts.
They're also taking the fun with them on the road to trade shows--the company created a custom game, the "Jeweler's Bench Challenge," which is based on the classic board game "Operation."
Those who can show a steady "jeweler's hand"--and even some who don't, Jewel-Craft said--receive certificates for discounted or free work.
Earl Wesdorp founded Jewel-Craft in 1947 in the attic of his detached garage in Ludlow, Kentucky. He learned the jewelry trade from his father, Charles Wesdorp, a master jeweler who retired from Boris Litwin Jewelers in Cincinnati.
Earl's son Robert joined the company in 1949 and took the leadership role when his father died unexpectedly in 1950.
Now based in Erlanger, Jewel-Craft Inc. currently is operated and managed by the third generation of the Wesdorp family--Gary Wesdorp, president and CFO, shares leadership duties with his brother, Benet Wesdorp, president and COO.
Three of Gary's children, Benet's sons and Gary's son-in-law also work at the company.
Jewel-Craft is a full-service business, providing comprehensive jewelry services to retail stores and shops nationwide. All stages of design, manufacturing, repair and restoration are performed on site.
The company's current location was built in 1990 and underwent an expansion in 2005. It just broke ground on the second major expansion, which will increase the facility by 20,000 square feet to make it a 50,000-square-foot space.

Review Text The San Francisco Examiner's Phil Elwood wrote: '...SAM is one of the most distinctive and bright performers I've reviewed in a quarter century.' The Hollywood Reporter called her 'A Golden Voice.' The Toronto Star called her 'Brilliant' The New York Post called her 'Magnetic' The Philadelphia Inquirer called her 'One of the best entertainers you'll ever see!' Sweden's Dagbladet proclaimed 'SAM Lights Up The World!' From New York to L.A. to San Francisco, 'SAM' has been established as one of the few true cabaret stars in the country. Her many awards include Cabaret Gold, DramaLogue, Cable Car, Dean Goodman Choice honors, a Shellie Award nomination, citations from the City of San Francisco, the Key to the City of Houston as 'Goodwill Ambassador'; and recognitions for her tireless efforts on behalf of both AIDS Fundraising and The Contra Costa Stand Against Domestic Violence. Internationally, she has performed for the Royal Family in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia; by invitation of the U.S. Embassy in Brussels; at Malmo's famed Stadsteatren in Sweden; by special request of Baroness de Rothschild; and throughout Canada. She has also been a regular Headliner on the RSVP Cruises, which has taken her to Mexico, Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. In theatre, she was cast in the National Touring Company of the Tony Award-winning NINE - The Musical. She is best known for her role as 'Edith Piaf' in the Award-winning musical 'PIAF, NO REGRETS', which defined her as one of the country's premier interpreters of that musical genre, and for her Award-Winning 'Rodgers & Hammerstein ... With Hart!' throughout the country. In concert, she was a 'regular' Opening Act for JOAN RIVERS during Joan's 'West Coast Years', and went on to share stages with other headliners including Howie Mandel, The Smothers Brothers, and Alan King. In countless concerts and benefits throughout the country, she has shared stages with such forces as Patty Duke, Ben Vereen, Harvey Fierstein and Toni Tennille. She appeared at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts along with Guest Stars Bonnie Raitt, her father John Raitt, and Jill Eikenberry & Michael Tucker.

SIMPLY SAM - Liner Notes, by Nina Blackwood* Although the album is entitled SIMPY SAM, there is certainly nothing simple about the songstress who asks her many fans to 'just call her SAM'. SAM's full contralto voice is as rich and luxurious as burgundy velvet, a unique combination of lushness and texture. Only an artist in possession of a comoplex palette of shades and hues is capable of coloring a song with such intensity that every lyric is drenched with the kind of emotion found only in the depths of a sensitively intricate psyche. That's SAM!!! As listeners, we experience the results of this inward journey, and in turn travel via the music, into our own personal labyrinth, stirring and exploring our deepest feelings. From the dramatic triumph of I'M COMING HOME AGAIN and YOU MAKE IT FEEL LIKE HOME, the light-hearted treatment of misconstrued sentiment in PERSON TO PERSON, the tearfully touching affirmation of I'M DOING OKAY, to the sweet romance of HE BRINGS ME ROSES, a great range of emotional territory is covered on this collection of material.

they have done it again. Confezioni Crosby, who i have featured numerous times, has a beautiful new summer collection that will make you want to go on holiday forever.
Confezioni Crosby is a collaboration with a historic New York based manufacturer of mens uniforms and traditional work garmets. The idea was born from the challenge of transforming real american work wear into every day clothing for women, changings its proportions and fits and adding touches of softness and femininity. It is a contrast that throws the idea of functional clothing into an unexpected key, giving it a new meaning.
Love the pink trousers in the first photo!
Beautiful! I especially love the striped maxi dress!
Woah, totally love these clothes, they're all such gorgeous pieces! Love the styling too.
That yellow coat is so so nice!
Any way of getting this clothes in Australia?
The perfect summer style – too bad I'll have to wait another 9 months for summer… the maxi dress is my favourite – as well as the wall in the background.

I once read that green tea is really healthy for your body and since it's tea it's basically water with some taste to it. The perfect combo for someone like me who is -let's just say I'm not a gourmet. :-D I almost always drink green tea with ice cubes and some sort of syrup or whatever that makes it a bit sweeter. I also made it at home and it tasted just like this drink. However there is something about sittting in a café that makes this drink so much more special.

Мелетин Алексей Никитич (1787— после 1849) — корабельный мастер, разработал проект эллинга для постройки в Николаевском адмиралтействе 100-пушечных кораблей, инженер-полковник Корпуса корабельных инженеров.

Биография
Родился в 1787 году. В 1811 году, после окончания Училища корабельной архитектуры в Санкт-Петербурге, произведён в драфцманы и направлен для дальнейшей службы в Николаевский порт. Являлся наблюдающим за постройкой фрегатов и мелких судов.

В 1821 году разработал проект эллинга для постройки в Николаевском адмиралтействе 100-пушечных кораблей.

В 1826 году помощник корабельного мастера А. Н. Мелетин преподавал английский язык в штурманской роте кандидатам, которые по решению командующего Черноморским флотом адмирала А. С. Грейга, были отобраны для отправки за рубеж на стажировку для обучения кораблестроению. Среди учеников были Василий Апостоли, Алексей Акимов и Степан Чернявский, которые впоследствии стали известными русскими кораблестроителями.

В 1833 году корабельный мастер Мелетин был произведён в полковники. С 1835 года стал членом Учётного и кораблестроительного комитета Черноморского адмиралтейского департамента, с 1837 года — постоянным членом того же департамента в Севастополе.

В 1848 году полковник Мелетин вошёл в состав специальной комиссии под председательством контр-адмиралы Корнилова. Вместе с членами комиссии корабельными инженерами подполковниками И. С. Дмитриевым, Акимовым, Чернявским и капитаном М. М. Окуневым Милетин выработал правила и инструкции, регламентировавшие технологический процесс при постройке судов на верфях портов Чёрного моря и предусматривавшие специальную просушку всех лесоматериалов, предназначаемых для постройки судов.

Умер инженер-подполковник Корпуса корабельных инженеров А. Н. Мелетин после 1849 года.

Done Deal: Egypt and Russia Sign Nuclear Agreement
Egyptian Streets
The Egyptian and Russian nuclear authorities signed Thursday the agreement to establish the Dabaa nuclear power plant, nine months after the project was first announced.
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi attended the ceremony where Egypt's Nuclear Power Plants Authority and Russia's Rosatom Corporation signed the deal. Rosatom is assigned to build the new nuclear power plants.
El-Sisi and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had agreed on the nuclear cooperation in February of this year during Putin's visit to Egypt.
The Project Development Agreement signed that day provides for the construction of two nuclear power units, while on the whole it is planned to construct four units, Director General of Rosatom Corporation Sergey Kirienko stated following the presidents' joint declaration. Another four units are currently up for an international tender.
Rosatom is the Russian Federation's national nuclear corporation. It has been operation for 70 years and provides nuclear services that range from uranium enrichment to nuclear waste treatment.
On Friday, El-Sisi met with Kirienko to discuss the financial and technical requirements to construct the nuclear plant.
Construction of the nuclear plant is scheduled to commence in 2016 and will be completed by 2020. The nuclear plant is expected to produce 9,600 megawatts of electricity for Egypt.

Hibernian-The Lost Connection
Hibernian football club, founded in 1875, is a very unique football club whose inception as a club tells a tale of how two communities, from different countries, came to grow into one.
The origins of the Hibees interested the Edinburgh natives and indeed natives of Leith, the suburb in which they boast their famous Easter Road stadium. However the beginnings of Hibernian owe their roots to Ireland and its emigrants who settled in the Cowgate area of the city in the 1800s.The club, whose name reflects a common association with Ireland, is very much a reward for all associated with the successful integration of Irish people into the Scottish capital.
During the 1800s a large number of Irish left home for Scotland, with the majority preferring to locate themselves in Glasgow and only a handful moving to Edinburgh. The Cowgate would become known as "Little Ireland", as statistics in 1821 proved that 12 000 Irish were resident there. The area was well deprived and run down, it was home to some of the poorest slums in the world. While work was not widely available, most Irish opted to join the Scottish army, but a handful set about installing a belief of community in a different manner.
The St Patrick's Church in Cowgate had founded a Catholic Youth Mens Society(CYMS) in 1865.The Irish community was not integrated into the wider Edinburgh community, but Canon Edward Hannon was looking for a way to achieve this. Michael Whelehan, an emigrant from Roscommon suggested to Canon Hannon that the CYMS should form its own football club. In a meeting on 6 August 1875, Hibernians was founded, with Canon Hannon as its first manager and Whelahan as its first captain. They adopted the harp as the official club crest and decided on a motto to unite all, Erin Go Bragh (Ireland Forever). .
The club struggled to achieve league status, after appealing to the Scottish Football Association they were told that the FA were catering for Scotsmen and not Irishmen. Fierce rivals Hearts did Hibs a favour in 1875 by playing them, despite the fact that the FA had said no club should play "the Irish club". This further boosted Hibs chances of joining the league.At the outset only members of CYMS could play for Hibs but the club folded in 1891, when they reformed a year later this policy changed and they dropped the S in their name. The Irish immigrants now had the heart within their community, and a heart that would allow for greater integration with their Scottish counterparts.
The club model adopted by Hannan and Whelehan was followed by Irish emigrants in the cities of Dundee and Glasgow, with the foundation of Dundee Harp (1879),Glasgow Celtic (1888) and Dundee Hibernian(1909-later became known as Dundee United)
All the clubs boasted some resemblance to the Hibees. Fast forward to the modern day and the green hooped jersey is what many attribute to Celtic; however it was Hibs who originally wore the jersey first. Likewise the Edinburgh club were originally known as The Bhoys, a modern day nickname for the Parkhead club. Likewise the Dundee clubs both adopted the green, a colour best associated with Ireland but when Dundee Hibernian became Dundee United in 1923 they dropped the green jersey.
Into 2009 and things are quite different, as they have been for decades. Celtic are now the best supported team in Ireland and Hibs don't boast much of a following on the green isle. Hibs are not seen today as being an Irish or Roman Catholic institution as it was in the early years of its history. For instance, the Irish harp was only re-introduced to the club badge when it was last re-designed in 2000. This design reflects the three pillars of the club's identity -Ireland, Edinburgh (the castle) and Leith (the ship). Geography rather than religion is now seen as the primary reason for supporting Hibs, [who draw most of their support from the north and east of Edinburgh.
Is it Hibs fault that they are not as popular here? Celtic are seen as the team to follow, if your Catholic or Irish it is most probable that you are a Celt, such are the Irish links with the club. In a similar manner by which Hibs boast a harp on their crest, Celtic boast a shamrock, another traditional symbol associated with Ireland, on theirs.
Celtic are the club that have always had the financial power to win league titles whereas Hibs, four time league winners, are more reliant on their youth academy to produce players. While Hibs have a very successful youth structure, they are getting ever closer to Celtic as the money men in Scottish football are not putting the money in any longer. Indeed all Scottish clubs will be soon be operating off a similar level to the Old Firm, as Both Celtic and Rangers are suffering in the current economic climate.
Is it arguable that Hibs, who were seen as the first sectarian club, have lost their Irish fanbase to Celtic by dropping their somewhat sectarian stance? It is a valid point to ponder. Religion plays an important role in Scottish football, just ask any Celtic or Rangers fan and thus it gives rise to sectarianism abuse, something the Edinburgh club does not want to be associated with. Their desire to be far removed from the realms of sectarianism has seen their fanbase in Ireland decline, but it has left them with a solid reputation as a pure football fraternity.
Perhaps its Celtic`s very successful marketing machine and indeed their success on the pitch, that has seen their vast fan base grow. There is no obvious reason as to why the popularity of the Glasgow club is much bigger than their Edinburgh counterparts, who paved the way for their foundation. Hibs were regularly invited to play in Glasgow before Celtic were founded by brother Walfred, who founded the Parkhead based club in 1888.He founded Celtic with the belief that Glasgow's large Irish population could lead to a similar success story and he was right. John Glass was the clubs financial backer at the time and he initiated a degree of professionalism in Scottish football by enticing Hibs players to Celtic with the offer of lucrative wages. This severely affected the Hibees who went into major decline, while the Celts won four league titles during the 1890s.
Will the Hibees evergreen contingent of Liam Miller, Graham Stack and young hitman Kurtis Byrne help Irish fans rediscover their long lost connection with the Edinburgh Club?
Is originality not the essence of our support? Irregardless as to whether it is or not, the Irish people who support football in Scotland should give the Hibees more consideration when deciding who to follow.

I'm sorry but a lot of the reason Irish people and Irish diaspora support Celtic instead of Hibs is nothing to do with sectarianism. Hibs had a Catholic only signing policy, something Celtic never had. Celtic founders and the west coast irish immigrants were also very much involved in the struggle in Ireland so much so that Ireland gifted celtic a state tri colour from de varela. During the 1940s onwards Hibs forced the Irish culture out and abandoned its past, the same can be said of Dundee united (DH as it was known). The SFA and chairman of Hibs at the time tried to force celtic to take down its tri colour and 'de-irish' itself. We kept our Irish (not exclusively Catholic though) identity. If you are part of the Irish diaspora in Scotland the only team and fans that represents that is Celtic. Similarly if you are Irish are you going to support a team that has tried its hardest to abandon that culture? If dundee united and hibs held onto the positives about their culture and past perhaps less people would of abandoned them. Celtic fans rather than the board have become a symbol to people of rebelliousness, identity and struggle. This is how people see us outside of this Island of Britain.


I can't imagine what it was like for people back in the 19th Century to travel through that valley!
Stark beauty. Such an amazing landscape.
What a weird but dramatic landscape. (We went through Death Valley as kids in a car without AC. Dad had us get up before dawn and drove like crazy to get across before the heat got back…back then you might see people by overheated cars along the side of the road.) I remember that old mule train picture! Thanks for adding that!
Sorry Curt, you and I are 75 [almost] but I suspect most of your readers won't know the full significance of the phrase 20 Mule Team Borax had in our culture for awhile and the man it employed. But I was thrilled to see these areas too when we visited a few years ago.
Twenty Mule Team reminded me of an old TV commercial, but your adventure is much more exciting.
Maybe Death Valley Days. I have the dimmest of recollections.
I am fascinated by these stark landscapes and you have shown them off well. I've stopped there before, but did not take the 2 1/2 mile side trip. Now I know better.
That mule team is something to behold! I can't even begin to imagine how they controlled them all!
I was taking the Death part of your title too literally and saw blood on the road in your first photo. Relieved to find it was the bonnet of your car! New glasses?
Laughing… That would be a scary amount of blood, AC. We are talking elephant-size here!
I've wanted to visit Death Valley my whole life, because of the connection with my parents, who stayed there during part of their honeymoon road trip in December of 1948. But it has never been on the forefront of my mind, and never researched. In this modern era, blog-reading so easily introduces images and ideas, moving things from the back of the mind to the front… and your pictures are beautiful and appealing!! Would you venture an opinion about the best time of year to visit?
Here's a guess — not July or August!
hahahahaha – I did know that much 😉 My husband tells about the one time he was camping there, with four other (crazy) college friends, traveling in a VW bug with no AC. He said they couldn't decide whether to leave the windows open to the blast furnace, or close them and simply bake.
There's kind of a stark beauty here, with nice side lighting to set off the textures. Otherworldly.
Have you visited the museum that highlights the history of the mule teams, the borax trade, and such? I recall that they have one of the wagons the mules pulled, although I can't remember whether it's a restored original or a replica.
There's some amazing history and landscapes out there. Thanks for taking us along on this trip.


Take Venezuela, first. For years, China has been a big creditor to the oil-rich country. It was a deal made in heaven for both sides. For Beijing, extending credit to Maduro's regime was a way to expand its influence in America's neighborhood. And a way to tap into the country's vast oil reserves.
Meanwhile, this sort of deal raised the prospect of swapping loans for equity, allowing China to take control of Venezuela's strategic assets. In case Venezuela failed to repay its loans, that is–a model China has applied in Sri Lanka and how Beijing took control of the country's ports, obtaining strategic outposts in the Indian Ocean.
For Caracas, China's loans were a way to overcome the reluctance of capital markets to provide credit to Venezuela's corporations, as its economy deteriorated.
But things didn't turn as planned for Beijing. Maduro's regime is teetering on the edge of collapse, Washington has come to the side of the opposition, and the US Treasury imposed sanctions on PdVSA last week.
That's a significant development. It has made it difficult for Maduro's government to repay his country's loans to China. And that raises the risk of US-China trade wars spreading to Venezuela.
A political change that could in turn set the table for another dispute between US and China, as a new pro-American government might refuse to repay loans to China altogether.
Worse, the collapse of Maduro's regime could create a contagion that leads to the collapse of authoritarian regimes in other parts of the emerging market world. Like Africa, where China has been expending credit to unpopular regimes, and drawing strong criticism from the US.
This means that the trade deficit will ease once the American economy slows down.
Kutasovic further sees a disconnect between Washington policies and the American consumers who buy Chinese products at Costco and Walmart. "I don't see consumers complaining when they buy China-made products in these stores," he adds.
While it's still unclear which way things will end with the US-China trade disputes, one thing is clear: China needs to take a close look at its 'debt for diplomacy' policies in Latin America and Africa.

The player decision is prepared into the center of each part of Odyssey's huge interpretation of antiquated Greece, advancing the arrangement's change into an undeniable pretending amusement after the underlying presentation of RPG movement components in Assassin's Creed Origins.

Some were decisions that could be made amid every mission, or character connections that prompted different targets, distinctive cutscenes and in some cases even totally new journeys, until there were such huge numbers of stories and discourse choices that it looked more like what I envision would happen if John Madden endeavored to graph a shotgun play amid a seizure.

Cowslip Cottage was originally a farm barn on Dan-y-Crug sheep farm less than three miles from the busy market town of Brecon. The location is utterly beautiful with stunning views across the rolling valleys of the Brecon Beacons National Park. This is an ideal great spot for enjoying all types of outdoor activities whether that be by walking, pony trekking or cycling in the area. The owners of the farm are very friendly and are happy for visitors to explore whilst observing the countryside code. Brecon has plenty of shops and restaurants, whilst the area has a never-ending list of great days out and interesting places to visit.
Almost next door, about 600 yards up the lane is Cradoc Golf Club - so perfect for anyone enjoying a game of golf.
The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a microwave, fridge, freezer and a kitchen table and chairs.
The spacious sitting/dining room has dining table and chairs, comfy green leather sofas and chairs and a TV with Freeview and DVD player.
Glass patio doors lead out to a stoned terrace with a little featured stream running through.
Laundry Room in an adjacent building, shared with the other cottages.
Bedroom 2: A family bedroom with a double bed and two single beds.
Bathroom: The large bathrooms has a shower, bath, toilet and handbasin.
Cowslip Cottage is a converted barn located alongside the two other cottages. The barn is on one level with a small step down into the living area so is very convenient for visitors with slight walking difficulties. The cottage sleeps up to 6 people in one double and one family bedroom and enjoys a sunny and sheltered patio area to the rear with a stream running alongside, garden furniture and a BBQ.
The location of these cottages is very pretty. Buttercup and Daisy Byre are part of a converted wing of the 17th century farmhouse and Cowslip Cottage is a converted barn positioned alongside. There is a large grassed area around the cottages which runs down to a stream. The properties are surrounded by farmland and visitors should chat to the owners to check on livestock locations etc before heading out to explore the farm.
If you enjoy a round of golf then Cradoc Golf Course, just up the lane is a must. Named Wales' Golf Club of the Year in 2005 the course is an 18-hole parkland course and takes advantage of the rolling Mid Wales hills. There is a welcoming club house serving good food and the views from the course must be some of the best in Wales.
Travel the 2.5 miles and explore the bustling market town of Brecon. There is the picturesque canal, alongside which sits the acclaimed Theatr Brycheiniog providing a theatre auditorium which plays hosts to many well-known acts, an art gallery and renowned restaurant with terrace. A ten minute walk from the canal brings you to the centre of Brecon with it's mixture of well-known shops and small boutiques and gift shops. There are plenty of cafes, restaurant and pubs to discover and a small cinema.

The stage is set, dear Internet, and these are our players.
First update in a while. Fear not though, dear Internet! I haven't forgotten you. I've just been moving in to my new (first!) apartment. It's been a tedious process and we don't have our interwebs set up. Before I moved in though, I went to visit Samantha and her family. This is a chronicling of one of the adventures we had.
It turns out Samantha's dad went to high school with the man who owns the most expensive longhorns in the U.S. And yes, he really was that shirtless and hairy when we met him. The longhorns are actually very impressive looking and not at all how I drew this one. I didn't know that they really are burnt orange and white. I now understand the logic behind my school's colors. The only thing that was kind of unappealing about these huge cows was the fact that they drool. A lot. And their drool kept managing to find Samantha's mom no matter where she moved.
Anyhow, this comic doesn't focus on the cows themselves. Instead, I chose to tell you about a rather awkward moment that happened right in the middle of conversation. The longhorn owner was telling me about his own time at UT and how he was forced to drop out. He said this in a very upbeat kind of way and I took it to mean that his grades must have sucked. I thought we were joking about it, so I laughed. Then in a sudden and very grave tone he informed me that it was because his dad died.
Here he is, by the way.
In my household, this is the call that rings out whenever one of my friends wants to let us know that a battle of heroes is about to take place in the form of Super Smash Brothers. The two gentlemen featured alongside myself in this comic are Bobby and Mando. Bobby is the kind of person who becomes infused with unholy gaming skill via objects that don't make sense. For example, he believes being 1st player makes him better. He has claimed the 1st Player control in pretty much every round of any game we've ever played EVER. Is this superstitious? Probably, but he's really, really good. He has no problem telling you that he'll beat you with or without it, even if his control is broken. Still, he never plays 2nd. Also, he's got this terrible habit of staring at people impatiently when he wants them to do something instead of, you know, just saying what he wants.
I know the Wierdest City is supposed to be about living in Austin and "Keeping It Weird" and everything, but I don't move into my apartment for another week, so these first few focus on my friends from home. You'll see a lot more of the CA members once I get back.
Anyhow, this is the update for today! You can find them here on the blog until Alon returns from saving the world. Next one might go up early because I'll be out of town. Take care, Internet!
Today's post is a day early since I'm not gonna be around on Monday. I'm catching a bus up to go visit Samantha one more time before we go back to our respective universities. I'm sure you guys understand when I say that I'm really not working on any comic stuff while I'm with her. I'll be back Tuesday though, so Wednesday's update should be on time!
Anyhow, the character you see up there looks a lot like Mando, but it is actually someone totally different. This is a guy I work with named Leo. As it turns out, we both share a particular fondness for The Lion King (blatant rip-off though it may be). On Friday, I could hear from Leo's headphones that he was listening to I Just Can't Wait To Be King over his headphones. We pretty much spent the next few hours tossing quotes and lyrics back and forth. I thought it would make a great comic.

Growing India
Why Walmart is interested in India's biggest online retailer
by Rishi Iyengar @Iyengarish September 30, 2016: 9:58 AM ET
India's richest man on India's digital age
Walmart is taking another run at breaking into the Indian market -- this time by writing a fat check.
The retail giant is reportedly in talks to invest up to $1 billion in Flipkart, the top e-commerce firm in a market that Walmart has repeatedly failed to crack.
Both companies declined to comment on negotiations.
But the rationale for a deal is compelling: Walmart (WMT) would gain access to 1.3 billion consumers in a market where it currently has very limited operations. Flipkart would get the cash it needs to fend off a pack of hungry rivals.
"Walmart will have to learn how Indians shop here, because it is very different from the way it happens in the developed markets," said Krishnarajan Nedungadi of Indian retail consultancy Ramms. "Flipkart knows how it happens here."
Related: Walmart is making a comeback
A new local partner may be just what Walmart needs.
The Arkansas-based retailer lobbied for years for permission to open its own brick and mortar stores in India, but the country's restrictive rules on foreign investment made that impossible. Another attempt to gain a foothold -- a joint venture with Bharti Enterprises -- also failed to gain traction before it was abandoned in 2013.
Walmart has since been relegated to operating 21 wholesale distribution outlets in the country. It is not allowed to sell products directly to consumers.
Related: India isn't just growing fast, it's much more competitive
But e-commerce presents a new opportunity. And Flipkart, which was valued at $15 billion in its most recent round of funding, is the leading force in a market that also features key Walmart rival Amazon (AMZN).
Amazon has made significant investments in India, with founder Jeff Bezos recently funneling $3 billion into his company's operations in the country. It's a cash infusion that builds on the $2 billion he committed in 2014.
Flipkart's local knowledge may give it the edge, however, in a market that Deloitte predicts will be worth $100 billion a year by 2020.
"Companies coming into India have to create trust," says Kumar Rajagopalan, CEO of the Retailers Association of India, who said the country's complex FDI regulations and myriad tax laws are sometimes "worrisome" for large foreign firms.
But Nedungadi said that in the short-term, the entire industry may benefit from Walmart's delivery and logistics expertise.
"The industry will benefit, because a lot of back-end delivery issues will get sorted out," Nedungadi said. "With large players trying to attract a lot of new customers into the fold, Amazon will also benefit."

I should say right off the bat that I haven't ever played Fire Emblem, which seems to be the first thing off anyone's lips whenever Telepath Tactics is mentioned. If you want to know if Telepath Tactics is anything like as good as Fire Emblem may or may not be, please ask someone who has played Fire Emblem, which isn't me. I haven't played Fire Emblem. Is it good? Yeah, why's that? But how does… oh, sorry, you were waiting for me to tell you about Telepath Tactics, weren't you? That I can do.
It's a tactical RPG, which is to say that it's got fantasy combat, an inventory, levelling up and lots and lots of talking, but also grid-based, turn-based battles in which where you send your units is at least as important as what you make them do. It's also got (depending on which difficulty setting you choose) perma-death, so even if your party is mostly decimated, you can continue.
Telepath Tactics is more or less the work of one person, which is worth stating right up front both to gawp at how much, and how much precision has been achieved here, and as something to keep in mind when I talk about some of its more fundamental problems. What's practical for a team to do isn't necessarily so for just an individual, but clearly inna final analysis it's all about whether you, the Player of Players, enjoy what you're getting.
Battles are the heart of the game, and they're clever, exacting, huge affairs. What you field is less a squad and more a small army. It's X-COM not XCOM in that regard (but not in others; I'm talking about the scale of fights and with it your own attitude to your soldiers), and it lifts Telepath Tactics above a great deal of the Little Men With Swords competition. It's not this arbitrary, chaotic melee, but precise, highly tactical challenges which very nearly enter the realm of puzzles. Despite appearances – maybe we've been trained to think a certain way by several years of lo-fi roguelikes and roguelites – very little in Telepath Tactics is randomly generated. It presents these consciously fiendish, calculated scenarios in which you're almost always outnumbered, and requires you to use your wits and experience to solve it. Every one is possible, but mistakes won't be forgiven.
As battles, they work very well. Exceptionally well, even. With so many units in play, and a wide array of abilities including straight-up spells, telekinetic interference with the environment or enemies and all sorts of dirty tricks like shoving, flying, bows which can hit two targets at once and magic which sets people on fire, fights are not predictable even if they have been carefully designed to proceed in certain ways. The huge levels and trap-like setups keep repetition at bay too, while levelling up mid-battle will see your guys gain new abilities on the spot. Suddenly, just like that, you've got this major new tactical tool in play – but equally, enemies soon start using similar delivery on your guys.
This is a watchmaker's game, all these dozens of delicate clockwork pieces finely machined to work in tandem, to result in something which looks so simple on the surface. Make no mistake: this is a game which has been carefully crafted, not one which relies on the luck of the procedurally-generated draw. The plain, low-tech art style and crude UI might outwardly suggest something that's been knocked off quickly, powered by amateur enthusiasm, but what's beneath is ever so meticulous, and gets its pay-off. I played the battles like fantastical chess, agonising about every move and every decision, hitting End Turn with that sweet mix of excitement about what I'd achieved and terror about what would happen due to my oversights or recklessness. It's good stuff, and tight despite having so very many moving parts.
Unfortunately, the campaign structure takes the shine off this great work. The perma-death mechanic sounds ideal on paper, but in practice losing half your early team can result in hitting insurmountable obstacles later in the game, potentially even necessitating a total restart unless you've been extremely thoughtful about keeping savegames. You can play on Casual difficulty, which means felled units resurrect with diminished health at the end of a battle rather than disappear forever, but this really does feel like cheating. Really though, this merciless approach would work if only repeating missions or the whole campaign didn't involve quite so much repetition. Some of the larger battles can take up to an hour, and with no capacity to save mid-battle you'll have to take it from the top if any mission-essential hero units are slain, or if it crashes, or just if you need to go out.
That they're frontloaded with reams of written dialogue is insult to injury. The writing's not bad, and there are ideas thrown everywhere, but there's so very much of it, and so little of it is essential to either plot or character-building. There's a stream of consciousness quality to some of it, generally opting for breezy half-quips as short-hand for heroism, which has the added side-effect of making many of the large cast seem homogeneous. Again, the standard of dialogue is decent, but it's badly in need of an editor's scalpel and even more so of a skip button. Having to click click click click through some forty dialogue boxes to replay a long, difficult mission for the third time took a heavy toll on my goodwill towards TT.
I appreciate that TT wants to be an Epic Quest Game as much as it does as Tight Tactics Game (and hey, maybe the mysterious Fire Emblem made bedfellows of All The Talking and All The Fighting), but I get too engrossed in the delicate balancing act of the battlefields to want quite so much wittering keeping that stuff at arm's length.
It's crying out for a mid-battle save function as well. I fear Telepath Tactics is trying to be all things to all roleplayers: an unforgiving perma-death affair with no takebacks and a grand timesink. For it to be the latter, the option to partition it into digestible pieces (for our busy modern lives/terrifyingly limited attention spans) needs to be there. I appreciate that quicksave/load risks ripping the heart out of what's intended to be supremely tense and heavy with consequence, but even a sometime savescummer such as I knows that there's infinitely more satisfaction to be had from winning The Right Way.
The UI is clunky and unattractive to the point of occasional irritation, but given TT's humble origins I can't get too hung up on the appearance side of it. However, little things like being able to double-click on an adjacent foe to perform a default attack would be wonderful time-savers, while having to watch over a dozen enemies take turns to slowly trek towards you is agony even on the so-called 'instant' movement speed. It's fairly buggy at the moment too – the dev's updating it almost daily, but right now expect to encounter random stuff like your units swapping inventories at the start of a match, the interface not loading, and all sorts. I'm very confident given the clear care (not to mention several years) that's gone into the mechanics and the dev's pro-active approach to community that the majority of tech gripes will get sorted out in time, but fair warning and all that.
The lack of online multiplayer – there's local hotseat only – will be a disappointment to some, I guess. It's not something I personally demand, but I am disappointed that there are limited maps and army setups for player vs CPU skirmish, which is the mode I'd otherwise be most likely to return to TT for. However, get me a skip dialogue/cutscene option and I'd be well up for jumping back to into the campaign and rolling with consequences of my terrible tactical thinking.
Telepath Tactics, appropriately, has a beautiful mind. The rest of it is harder to admire, but even so, this is a game that people who crave patience, precision and strategy from their roleplaying battles are going to take to their hearts. In its quiet way, this is a huge game – big fights, lethal consequences, wide array of combat possibilities… Fire Emblem fans would love it, probably. I wouldn't know.
Telepath Tactics is out now, available direct from the dev, Steam or GoG.

Home/What is MoE?/How does MoE work?
In MoE the children are not pretending to be experts.
Inside the fiction the teacher and the students work collaboratively as people working for the same team on the same commission. This means the teacher (inside the fiction) deliberately changes their relationship with the students to one of equal power and authority. In this way decisions are made through discussion and distributed leadership. It is important to remember, outside the fiction, the teacher's authority remains unaffected. For more on collaborative teaching in MoE, read – Working collaboratively in the classroom.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted Manchester United must strive to reach the levels of PSG after conceding the Ligue 1 giants had been given his side a Champions League "reality check".
Solskjaer, who conceded the defeat had been a big reality check for his side, also warned his United players to put the defeat behind them with fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool in the FA Cup and Premier League respectively up next.
United, meanwhile, could face a UEFA probe after it emerged a bottle was thrown at unpopular former winger Angel Di Maria from the crowd. PSG could also be in trouble as an item landed at the feet of Luke Shaw in the first half.
The post Solskjaer laments gulf in class as he issues Man Utd with double warning appeared first on teamtalk.com.


The New Area of Hengqin (NAH) aims to become a pilot region for economic cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, Yang Chuan, director of the NAH's administrative committee, told the China Daily newspaper.
Yang said that the location of the NAH at the mouth of the Pearl River and adjacent to the Macau Special Administrative Region, as well as its status as a free trade zone, makes it a natural choice for the implementation of a programme to attract investment and expand trade relations with Portuguese-speaking countries.
The NAH administrative committee also intends to increase cooperation with Hong Kong and Macau for joint development of logistics, tourism, finance, leisure and cross-border commercial/industrial projects, according to statements made to the Chinese newspaper.
Yang Chuan said that construction of the China-Latin America Industrial Cooperation Park was complete, covering an area of 244,000 square metres and costing more than 2.5 billion yuan (US$393 million). He added that contracts had already been signed for the establishment of 15 projects by Latin American companies.
"More than 3,000 products imported from Latin American and Portuguese-speaking countries are on display and sold at the sales centres of the park, which was built specifically to help these countries increase their presence in the markets of Guangdong province and the rest of the country," Yang said.
All of these projects require transport, with Yang announcing that a railway line will link the island to the Guangzhou-Zhuhai intercity line from 2019, linking up with the national rail network.
Yang also said that a new road will connect with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, and is expected to be opened in the first half of 2019.


I have two easy projects to share today.
After completing this Shovel Handle Display Tray, I had the shovel head left over.
Why not make another rusty shovel sign like these?
So I did! This is the chalk lettering that I traced onto the shovel head back.
I used the Dead Hardy font on Picmonkey for my transfer, and a Rust-Oleum American Accents Satin Decorative Paint Pen . I then sprayed the lettering with Krylon Matte Satin Finish Spray. .
I added a thin metal dowel (3/16" from Menard's) to the bottom of my shovel head. Just drill into the wood end a bit and poke the dowel up in the handle. The shovel head sign stands much better now in my bucket of dirt with the addition of the dowel/stake.
Then I stuck the what was left of the handle end in a terracotta pot of Diamond Frost, and tied on an orange plaid piece of ribbon and some raffia.
Another easy and really cheap project started with this $1 spice rack from the thrift shop. I painted it with ASCP in Old White and distressed it.
I used Emily's Candy font on Picmonkey for this lettering.
I used a pencil instead of chalk to transfer the letters to the top of the spice rack.
I also added a small piece of bead board to the back to give the piece more style and presence.
I made this for my daughter, and she plans to set it on a dresser or night stand, but you could also hang it on the wall.
Of course, what a great idea.
Carlene - what darling ideas - both of them! Love the shovel sign.
You come up with the best ideas, Carlene! Great re-use projects!
Let no shovel parts go to waste! Love these fabulous projects. Thanks Charlene for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party. I'm going to have to put rusty shovels on my shopping list now.
Love them up but the nail polish holder is my favorite! Great idea!
