Chlorine or Non-Chlorine Shock for Hot Tubs?
Spa and Hot Tub Shock – what's better – chlorinated granules or non-chlorine shock?
This post takes a look at the differences between two types of oxidizers used for spa shock treatments – Sodium DiChlor (chlorine granules) or MPS – Monopersulfate (chlorine free).
WHY SHOCK SPAS & HOT TUBS? Oxidizers are added to pools and spas to destroy pathogens like bacteria and viruses, and also organic contaminants that lead to algae growth.
The second main reason is to destroy molecular combinations between your main sanitizer (chlorine or bromine), and other organic matter, which create foul smelling -amines in the water.
WHEN TO SHOCK A SPA? The best time to shock a spa is after you have used the spa, or every 7-10 days. Don't shock just before using the spa which will reduce it's effectiveness, and could cause skin irritation. Wait at least an hour after shocking (with MPS), while circulating the water with the spa cover open, before getting in the tub.
HOW TO SHOCK A HOT TUB? Follow the label instructions, for specific dosages. Check your pH first, and adjust to within 7.2 – 7.6. This will allow the oxidizer to work harder, with a pH in the lower half of the scale. Just shake the required amount over the water, being careful of winds, which could blow the powder in your face. Don't rinse off the cap or scoop in the water, keep it dry and clean at all times for safety. Keep the cover open to allow for gassing off, an important part of the process.
WHAT TYPE OF SPA SHOCK IS BEST? Finally, we are at the meat of this post – which is better for spas and hot tubs, MPS or chlorine shock? Let's create some distinctions between the two types of spa shock, by looking at benefits of each, not shared by the other.
How do Chlorine Granules compare to MPS in terms of price? Is there a large difference between the two? Our chart shows 4 chlorine shocks, 5 MPS shocks, and one blend, Replenish, which contains MPS, with some chlorine added.
Chlorine granules come out a bit cheaper by the pound than MPS spa shock, which has a much wider price range, all higher per pound than chlorine, with the notable exception of Activate shock.
The reason that DiChlor shock is used in spas, is that DiChlor is more stable at higher temperatures and has a near neutral pH level. Spa shocks are particularly fine, more of a powder than a granular, so that they dissolve quickly.
All 4 of the chlorine hot tub shocks are 56% Available Chlorine. Among the 5 non-chlorine spa shocks, all are blends of MPS in different formulations, with different percentage of MPS.
If one was to generalize the relative strengths of MPS and DiChlor, it could be said that both Dichlor and MPS have equivalent ability as an algaecide, bactericide and virucide. Dichlor shock may have an edge for spas that are heavily used, or in need of high levels of oxidation.
Although there are many types of pool shocks available, using Calcium or Lithium or Sodium Hypochlorite, chlorine hot tub shocks are primarily made with Sodium DiChloro-S-Triazinetrione, or DiChlor for short.
There are a few formulations of MPS, but most of the monopersulfate sold for spas and hot tubs is a blend of MPS, primarily purchased from DuPont, and packaged for resale under many brand names.
THE BOTTOM LINE: If you are not using bromine tablets to sanitize, but instead using minerals and ozone, DiChlor may be a better shock to use, but – if you use Bromine tablets or Angel Tabs to sanitize, use the MPS shock to oxidize. I've always used bromine tablets and shock the spa with MPS after we use it. However, I also keep some DiChlor on hand, and give the spa a super shock about every month.

As the market recovered we saw in the last couple of day's some of the cryptos increasing in double digits. Meanwhile, the price of Neo has been hovering around $20 which is why in today's analysis we are going to look at the price context and examine what should be expected both short-term and on the long-term perspective.
Looking at the NEO/USD daily chart I have labeled this correction as a WXY after an impulsive wave that made the all-time high at $182 which is a 91.92% decrease to the most recent low at $15.2.
The correction is will most likely end as a triple three WXY correction as the last intermediate corrective structure looks five wave-ish.
I have labeled the most significant horizontal support levels on which the last intermediate wave Z could end, and in the upcoming paragraphs, we are going to further examine the upward movement target in order to conclude if the Z wave has ended on the $15 area or is there still some downside before the correction ends.
Zooming into the 4-hour chart I have counted the subwaves of the last intermediate WXYXZ correction.
As you can see according to my Elliott Wave count the last wave Z has more room for downside as this current upswing is only a 4 wave retracement. Zooming into the hourly chart we can see how much further the 4 wave can go up to before the 5 and the last wave to the downside starts.
On the hourly chart, we can see that the price action is forming a rising wedge which is a bearish sign so a breakout to the downside should start soon, but would that also mark the end of this short uptrend we are going to zoom further and examine the price context.
Looking at the 30 min time frame we can see that the breakout from the rising wedge to the downside has already started but as my count points out that is the third minuette wave ending with the expanding ending diagonal so short-term more upside is expected for the price of Neo as the 5th wave would only be a 3rd wave from the impulse on the minute degree and would result in a breakout from the downtrends resistance line from the 4-hour chart.
After that breakout occurs I would expect the price to retest it for support on the 4th wave and go further up between $26-$30. I just want to state that those are maximal values for this count to be valid, the price can go far lower than that before the minor 5 wave starts.
As for the wave 5 target, the next horizontal support level I see holding the price is at $9.83 which can be seen on the daily chart as the level from which the first impulsive move that lead to the all-time high. The next horizontal support level after that is at $3.84 but I doubt that the last intermediate wave Z would end there. This target would only be possible if the primary WXY correction gets extended by two more waves which we will see further down the line.

In 2017 he shot scenes in feature film, THE CURRENT WAR and was seen in THE VALENTINE for Sky. Ekow filmed Titus Andronicus as a 2 hander short film with Peter Capaldi for Shakespeare's Globe.
Ekow was nominated for the prestigious 2015 Ian Charleson Award.
He next shoots a recurring role in THIS WAY UP, a new Channel 4 series by Aisling Bea & Sharon Horgan.


Director Hunter Adams's first feature film, Dig Two Graves, impresses with its ability to utilize strong acting and subtly unsettling atmosphere to elevate the story well beyond what is implied by the simple genre of "horror". It was shot on a small budget, but with the help of horror actor/director Larry Fessenden in the role of executive producer as well as their selection by the Independent Filmmaker Project, this film winds up being even greater than the sum of its parts.
I think, above all else, this movie just felt like it was made with care. It took me a while, scrolling impatiently through Netflix, before I found something that really felt right, and this was the one. The overarching theme of grief seemed like something that would really resonate with me — and it did — but this film was about more than that.
The main aspect that would have propelled this from a dark drama into more stereotypical horror — the supernatural aspect of bringing Jake's brother back from the dead — was glossed over a bit, but I think it was stronger without it. Instead, we are faced with the more human horror of what a person could be willing to do, to sacrifice, to achieve what they ultimately desire. Jake's reasoning might be sound — she wants to lessen her pain and the pain of those around her — but she struggles with sacrificing Willie, an innocent bystander, to bring her brother back into the world of the living, and she almost succeeds in doing so, to her own disbelief.
I thought the acting was strong all around, particularly from Samantha Isler (who played Jake), Troy Ruptash (Wyeth), and especially Ted Levine, who played the town sheriff and Jake's gruff but loving grandfather. You might also fondly remember Levine as Jame Gumb from The Silence of the Lambs (there's no naked dancing this time around). He's the perfect strong patriarch of the family, struggling with demons of his own as he tries to instill morals and comfort in his granddaughter.
I also loved how visually impressive the movie was. They filmed in southern Illinois for a majority of the production, and during one of the worst winters on record, but director and producers agreed that it was necessary to achieve the authenticity they needed with such a low budget. Not only did it work well visually, but the area had lots of relevant (and bloody) history of its own that mirrored some themes in the film, such as gang wars between local moonshiners and the Bloody Vendetta of the 1800s. There were many beautifully done low light and nighttime shots, relying heavily on lanterns and twilight, and using silhouette and shadow to enhance the atmosphere, already rife with secrets and memories hoped to be forgotten.
Really, the ultimate lesson of the movie — "when you go on a journey of revenge, dig two graves" — is nicely paralleled between grandfather and granddaughter, and I loved the reflection on people existing in shades of gray. "… no man's all good, no man's all bad, there are no cowards, there are no heroes, there's only the living and the dead… it's hard to know what's right and wrong unless you're sitting on the outside looking in". The grandfather's story may not have circled around to such a pleasant ending, but at least he was able to impart the wisdom he gleaned from a life of regret and grief to save his granddaughter in the end, both from sacrifice and self-sacrifice.
A deeply reflective, atmospheric story — worth a watch, and worth keeping up with Adams to see what he comes up with next.

The widow of the deceased driver happened to be a commissioner for the City of Portland. She vowed enough was enough. She pushed state legislators and the governor into passage of the "Fritz-Fairchild Act," so named after the victims, that gave the state a six-year timeline to install $20 million worth of cable medians along 100 miles of protected highway. She also settled for $1.45 million a pending lawsuit against the state, alleging negligent highway design. Evidence had been presented indicating state officials knew not only were the dirt berms in the median ineffective at preventing cross-over crashes, they may have actually made them worse by serving as a "launching pad." Another negligence lawsuit for $9.5 million brought by the commissioner against the pickup truck driver and the oil truck company is still pending.
When it comes to barrier protection along the highways, state and federal governments owe a responsibility to road users to ensure these thoroughfares are reasonably safe. Failure to do so can result in serious injury and wrongful death, which may prompt litigation. In some cases, traffic engineers, design firms and construction companies have also been liable in such cases.
In Florida, issues have been identified with four-inch guardrail end terminals, manufactured and installed by a company called Trinity Industries. This summer, a federal judge in Texas handed down a $663 million judgment against the company for producing guardrails that were faulty and can jam and spear vehicles, rather than deflecting them. Jurors found the company liable for defrauding the Federal Highway Administration after it was revealed the firm chose to conceal evidence of modifications to the product that made them cheaper – and less safe.
NBC Miami recently spotlighted a Florida Department of Transportation investigation that found Florida has more of those unsafe four-inch guardrail end terminals throughout the state than the safer five-inch guardrail systems. In District 4, which includes Palm Beach, Broward, Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin Counties, there are 450 of the four-inch systems. That's just what's been documented so far; there could be more. That's already more than any other region in Florida.
Federal authorities estimate there are likely 200,000 of these altered guardrails installed nationally. This has prompted a number of injury and wrongful death lawsuits across the country.
In the settlement reached by the widow commissioner in Portland, Ore., the state did not concede liability, but chose to settle to avoid mounting legal costs. In addition to the $1.45 million paid to the driver's estate, another $750,000 was paid to the survivors of the passenger who was killed.


When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word of the Lord; and as many as had been destined for eternal life became believers. Thus the word of the Lord spread throughout the region. But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.

Bradley Foundation Dollars Continued to Fuel Right Wing Noise Machine in 2012
No Expense Spared in Propaganda Campaign to Re-Write Facts on Failed Privatization Agenda
MADISON, Wis. — According to documents reviewed by One Wisconsin Now, staples of the state right wing noise machine, and some new entrants, were once again beneficiaries of the largesse of Wisconsin's Money Badger, Michael Grebe, in 2012. Besides controlling the $620 million plus in reported assets of the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation, Grebe serves as co-chair of Gov. Walker's campaign.
One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross commented, "The Bradley Foundation spared no expense in 2012 funding the right-wing cabal that advances their agenda of unaccountable privatization."
Earlier research by One Wisconsin Now revealed a $31 million Bradley Foundation financed propaganda campaign promoting the privatization of K-12 public education. As part of the 2013 state budget, the unaccountable private school voucher program was expanded statewide.
The Bradley Foundation's 2012 annual report, reviewed by One Wisconsin Now, reveals that the right wing propaganda outlets Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, MacIver Institute, Media Trackers and their parent organization American Majority and the Americans for Prosperity Foundation Wisconsin Chapter received over $1 million in Bradley Funding in 2012 alone.
Ross noted that in 2012 these organizations were extremely active in issues surrounding the historic recall election of Gov. Walker. Among their actions was a multi-million dollar ad campaign sponsored by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and MacIver Institute that declared "it's working" in relation to the polices enacted by Gov. Walker resulting in Wisconsin having among the worst records in job creation and wage growth in the nation.
In addition, the Bradley report discloses a contribution of $500,000 in 2012 to the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) and $190,000 in direct funding for Wisconsin Reporter. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty retains lawyers and provides support for lawsuits intended to advance right-wing causes while the Wisconsin Reporter purport to be a news service.
"The fact that the radical privatization agenda of the Bradley Foundation being carried out by Gov. Walker and right-wing legislators does not work is of no concern to them. As we continue to see, they'll spare no expense to fund a propaganda machine and instead try to re-write the facts," concluded Ross.

The film studios made many returns to the Terminator franchise, and will no doubt be doing so again all to soon, so I think I can get away with making a quick second visit in as many weeks to the US première of Terminator Salvation. The last time was here.
It is well worth doing so I'm sure you'll agree.
If you don't fall in love even just a little bit with Kathryn after looking at the picture on the right then you must be some sort of unfeeling robot.
Even people with those artificial hearts that mean you have no heartbeat must feel their pulse quicken at such a sight.
What could be better than seeing someone you like so much look so full of joy, whilst also looking so beautiful? Nothing I tell you, nothing!
This time we focus on new close-ups and some videos. Yes, I've added some short videos which include Kathryn on the red carpet at this event. Don't forget the 4 new photos too.
They are all in Gallery now.
Like Hollywood, I can't promise not to come back to this one in the future, or is it the past?
It is fair, and a little punny, to say that photos from this event kill me every time.
We're looking back seven, yes 7, years to May the 14th 2009 when Kathryn attended the US première of Terminator Salvation.
The film was set to reboot the franchise with a new John Connor in the form of Batman, aka Christian Bale. It didn't really succeed. They tried again in 2015, this time with Arnold Schwarzenegger back involved as well as Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor. I don't think that one worked either. No doubt there are plans for another in the series though. Hollywood just can't let a possible cash-cow go. Next they'll be trying to make a sequel to Beetlejuice! They are?
Anyhoo. The film may not have given the fans what they wanted but Kathryn on the red carpet certainly did!
She looked stunning in her little red dress and similarly sparing use of make-up and simple hair style. What could be better?
It's all there. Including a some lovely smiles.
I've added 9 more images from the event to the Gallery for you to feast your eyes upon. If you dare!
To quote the big man: "We'll be back" to this one in the future.
Or, to give it its full title the 'CBS, CW, CBS Television Studios & Showtime TCA Party'. Or, to give it a fuller title still, that would be the 'Columbia Broadcasting System, CBS/Warner, Columbia Broadcasting System Television Studios & Showtime Televisions Critics Association'. But what about the CBS in the middle of that? Do these initialisations never end?!?
The Television Critics Association events take place twice a year to promote new shows across the various networks. The American TV system does seem to be very organised about such things, following a set pattern annually.
If the CBS pilot show The Surgeon General, which Kathryn starred in, had been picked up to series for the fall 2013 season we could very well have seen Kathryn at last week's Summer TCA. Sadly neither was to be.
Instead we're going to look back to 2009 for a little Gallery update. I last posted about this public appearance back in 2010 in a wider update covering the same year.
The four new photos you see around this post now join the existing collection in the Gallery.
Three years ago to the day it was just over 6 months since we first covered this event the Creative Arts Emmys from 2009. Back on March the 25th, 2010 we updated our Gallery with a video of Kathryn presenting an award at the ceremony, and screencaps taken from it. We'd previously carried photos from the red carpet in the days after the event happened.
Kathryn looked so stunning in her very off the shoulder dress so it is requires little excuse to make repeat visits to the images. So that's what we're doing today.
We have added a total of 14 new and updated photos of Kathryn arriving at the Nokia Theatre to our Gallery. For those keeping count numbers 13, 14, 15 and 28 have been super-sized. The rest, 30 to 39, are new. Some are large, some less so. The descriptions below each image mark the additions and changed ones. They are all worth a look, of course.
I don't think I need to say much about this set of updates 😉 I think covered it last time. 12 updates, 8 of them huge, to images from the Creative Emmy's arrivals album, part of KM UK's Summer Of HD.


Have you ever dreamed of being a famous singer? When I was young, like many young girls, I practiced in front of my mirror with my hair brush as a microphone, imagining the day I'd stand in front of a live audience. Thanks to our partnership with Illumination, we are bringing you some fun information about a new film, SING (in theaters December 21) that celebrates that dream of singing… read on!
Though my singing dreams led me to participate in choir, school musicals and even a local band, I didn't pursue a career in singing. That doesn't stop me from loving all things music, though, and my sons and I often sing out loud around the house, in the car and we've even been known to burst out in impromptu song in the middle of the grocery store. I love sharing my love of singing with them and love how they embrace their musical side. We are all excited to see SING in the theater this winter!


It has been such a fantastic year. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that sharing my little curb shopping secret with you precious readers and the world would fulfill me beyond what I ever dreamed. Even better, I never expected to call my blog readers "friends" but definitely feel that way now, thanks to all of you.
Most popular Curb Alert! projects of all time 2012!
My Repurposed Door Mat made into a Return Air Vent decorative cover. I love the simplicity of it and the way it has made our hallway AC vent much more tolerable.
The second most popular post was: Updating our old Kitchen Drawers. I was determined to get out the power tools and pretty excited that I figured it all out myself with no cursing, cut body parts or mishaps. I was also proud that it caught the attention as one of the top contenders and was considered for a feature in Cottages and Bungalow magazine. I was not chosen but pretty honored and was a great stepping stone for my tutorials and photography skills. You can go check out the tutorial too, give it a try!
My DIY: Knockoff TOMS Glitter Shoes were unexpectedly quite popular. It was a simple solution to bling up some dollar store shoes for my toddler and she still loves them!
I worked very hard on it and love the results.
If you missed it you HAVE to see how ugly it was before!
Another fun project was the Tomato Cage Topiaries that I made out of garden tomato cages (found on someone's curb) and greenery from Dollar Tree! This project has really given a big bang for the buck and came in around only $30!
I love how versatile they have become all year and especially looked festive all lit up for the holidays.
Red Shutters in the Entry Way! I got them for free from a sweet neighbor – can't beat that! Can you tell I love the color Red? It just makes me smile!
That same sweet neighbor commissioned me to make over an ugly pepto-bismol pink and yellow dresser into a Nate Berkus inspired cabinet that she saw on his show. My three year old thought we were calling it the "Naked Bird Dresser", hence the name! teeheehee!
My Blah to Ooh-La-La Dresser!
Those were your favorites based on blog pageviews and comments and now I will share with you my favorite.
The Dark Walnut Gentleman's Dresser.
I love that it was a beauty in disguise. When I began the project I had NO IDEA of how beautiful it would turn out.
Oh wow! There are so many more projects that I have shared and it has been fun working on Every.Single.One.Of.Them. And better yet…most of them are from items that I have found on the curb or next to nothing. Free-Ninety-Free as my sweet friend would say!
Thank you, Thank you so much for following along my adventures this year.
I hope to find a lot more and share them with you.

HARRISBURG, Pa./PRNewswire/ — People with chronic health conditions who received preventive dental care covered by BlueCross Dental benefits had fewer costly emergency room visits and hospital stays than those who did not, according to a new study from the Capital BlueCross family of companies.
The 2-year study conducted by Capital BlueCross, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and two independent companies, analyzed paid claims between July 2015 and June 2017 for individuals with and without BlueCross Dental coverage who had a diagnosis for one or more chronic conditions, such as asthma, congestive heart failure, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers looked at the differences in medical cost and utilization between Capital BlueCross members with chronic conditions and BlueCross Dental coverage, who have received preventive dental services and those who have not received preventive dental services.
The study found people with chronic conditions but without BlueCross Dental coverage had a 7% higher incidence rate of inpatient hospital stays than those with BlueCross Dental coverage who received a preventive dental service. Those who had BlueCross Dental coverage but did not receive preventive dental services had a 19% higher incidence rate of emergency department visits than those with BlueCross Dental coverage who received preventive dental services.
"The findings of this study reinforce how integrating medical and dental coverage and care can be associated with improved health and lower costs for those dealing with chronic medical issues," says Gary St. Hilaire Capital BlueCross President and CEO.

Candle House, Leeds
Candle House is a stunning addition to the Leeds skyline designed by Nigel Jacques whilst a Director of careyjones architects – a twisted cylindrical residential tower on a canalside site near to Leeds Railway Station. The project has won an unprecedented number of design awards including the Supreme Award at the 2011 Housing Awards and the RIBA White Rose 'Gold' Award for Architecture and a White Rose Award for Housing in 2010.
Nigel was also responsible for the overall masterplanning of the ISIS Waterside Regeneration scheme, Granary Wharf.
The Candle building is a twenty three storeys high, cylindrical brick tower – the facade itself 'twisting' at four storey intervals. The architecturally strong cylindrical form was designed in response to the unique waterside surroundings, with the circular plan echoing the sweeping viaducts and curved railway arches, and in reference to the rich heavy engineering history of Granary Wharf and the surrounding industrial forms.
The ordering and layering of the elevation was deliberately simple allowing the natural play of light on the varying surfaces and differing materials to provide a visual richness.
The buildings materiality, shared with the two other new buildings on the site, was intentionally minimal – brick, glass and copper, in order to complement historic waterfront neighbours and provide a cohesive sense of place.
The buildingis intended to be a modern reference to the three neighbouring Italianate towers of the historic Tower Works building. The residential 160 apartments are arranged around a single central core. The rotating nature of the building's facade permits each apartment to enjoy very differing views from floor to ceiling windows. External balconies clad in copper, inset into the facade, provide amenity and visual interest.

Edit: Adding Spoiler Bubble in case I broke a rule.
I still need to finish the Battle Gates to grab more info but wanted to leave something before I forget about this Theory.
From what I understood from Axel (Lea) and Isa, There seems to be another Girl who became friends with them and vanished shortly after, causing them to join The Organization. According to one of the Ansem's Code Report, the girl had lost most of her memory and could barely remember a few things.
One of those things would be "May your Heart, be your Guiding Key".
At first, I was interested about the Unknown girl but we weren't given much information about her from the Main Story Line. But after watching the epilogue, I had a thought. What if the Unknown Girl, Age of Fifteen, was actually Master Ava???
Master Ava would probably fit that role. We know that the Foretellers had vanished after the keyblade war. Master Ava sounds like a young girl, from the Movie. There where theories that she was probably Kairi's Clone or Replica because of the possible similarities. Kairi just happens to be near that Age Range.
It would be nice if we could Theo-rise more about it?
Either it was Ava, Skuld, or Strelitzia. There are so few girls choice to choose from.
Ava because she is no where to be seen in the epilogue. I wouldn't like this as a choice because that seems like an odd direction for her character.
Skuld because she has the star motif which would fit with Lea and Isa's sun and moon theme. Also, we know at some point something happens that causes a lot of UX era characters to end up in the present. It's not unlikely that like Ven, Lauriam, Elrena, Demyx, and Luxord, she ends up lost in what was 10 years ago Radiant Garden.
Then there is Strelitzia, our current focus of UX. I don't think it is her but she's got the most mystery around her right now.
I strongly believe X is Master Ava. It makes too much sense with the epilogue and everythimg we now know about the fortellers. Plus if it was Ava there is a good chance Luxu knew about her, possibly even summoned her there.
I'm hoping whoever it is, she did age in the interim. Her still being 15 would be a weird choice to me.
Pretty sure it is Ava because in the Epilogue, when Braig mentioned Ava's name he was looking up towards the sky, and in the game I think it was Ava that Sora talked to in the final world when he talked to one of the stars. I could be wrong and that could possibly not be Ava, but I feel like Braig looking up and the Final World world being all clouds means that might be a possibility. I could be wrong though the star could be someone else but who knows, it makes a little sense to me I guess.
She could be Little Miss Flower Coaty from the UX title screen.
I think it's Ava. There was a certain emphasis on her being the only Foreteller missing during the Epilogue, so she's probably in a state that she couldn't appear or doesn't remember.
Gula mentions in Back Cover that the traitor bears the sigil, yet no clear traitor is revealed. But the secret reports tell us that the girl went by just 'X' and she only remembers 4 friends, a Keyblade, and the guiding key phrase.
all have 3 letters in their names.
I hope it´s a new girl that will be introduced soon (in KH UX or future KH games).
Otherwise I think it could be Skuld, because of her star motif accessories.
Edit: I don`t think it`s Strelitzia or Ava. I see not exactly the connection between them (+ the star symbol is missing).
All their names end in "a" too!
Given her position on the title screen and the bleeding heart flower, it does make sense, but we don't know for sure.
I was really interested in the mystery girl. I found it weird that they didn't even go further about it. I am a little worried that KH 4 is going to start off with baggage from this saga. I was kinda hoping that everything from KH1-3 would be resolved and KH4 would be fresh.
They need more motivation to spark a new journey. Otherwise, starting from fresh always seems kinda...awkward. "What, heartless again? Dang."
All things considered, I think it's most likely that it's Ava. Like stated previously, the fact that she didn't show up in the epilogue with the others suggests she was incapable of doing so. Losing her memory is a good reason for rhis.
As to aging, well, Ventus doesn't look old either and its confirmed he's also from Chi era.
Personally I don't think it's Skuld. Considering we see Ephemer in the game and the two of them were pretty close, I can't see anything happening to her without him doing something about it.
I meant baggage like The Organization, nobodies, Ansem, Xehanort etc. I'm hoping KH4 can start fresh with no references to any of the main plot from KH1-3 (at least not until later on in the game if they have to).
They could have at least connected the mystery girl with whoever Xigbar/"Luxu" was waiting for at the end of the game.

Барабан – цилиндричен детайл на огнестрелно оръжие, съвместяващ функците на пълнителя и патронника, една от основните части на револвера. Има надлъжни канали – камери, в която се поставят патроните (или зарядите); въртящ се около оста си, ги подава за стрелба към ствола. Понякога се прави нефиксирано закрепен за бързо презареждане на оръжието. Използва се и при други видове оръжия, построени на револверния принцип: револверни пушки, револверни оръдия, в някои ръчни гранатомети.

Editorial Photographers UK - Oi! Minkey - Do You 'ave A License For Zat Camerabehm?
Such episodes are in themselves nothing new. What made this different was the appalling manner in which the Chief Constable of Suffolk failed to support his own officers, and instead grovellingly apologised to the photographer who had provoked the incident in the first place. When police chiefs behave so it is hardly surprising that officers on the ground become confused and unable to interpret the law correctly when confronted by those who can only be described as photo extremists.
Needless to say groups of such fanatics with an axe to grind have jumped on the Suffolk incident, accusing the police of 'treating photographers like criminals'.
Should they – or we – be surprised at that? After all, some well-known photographers are criminals. Furthermore, these are dangerous times. It's common knowledge that photography is one of the basic skills of the terrorist trade: most terrorists own at least one camera. It's therefore perfectly logical that anyone wielding a camera should be regarded as a potentially lethal threat to the public.
Likewise paedophiles are known to be keen photographers, so again it's both reasonable and understandable that the police should be suspicious of anyone using a camera in a public place, especially at an event that is likely to attract a large number of children.
Earlier this year there were claims the government planned to ban public photography, claims that subsequently proved unfounded, and were themselves the work of pro-photography agent provocateurs. However the recent spate of incidents makes plain that action of some kind is needed. The private sector has led the way in battling the menace of unnecessary public photography, and it is time the government followed suit.
Those wishing to practice photography in a public place, whether professionally or as a hobby, should indeed have to apply for a license. The number of licenses issued should be limited, there needs to be a rigorous vetting procedure, and in the case of professional applications, preference should be given to those applicants with a background in the security services. The use, indeed the possession, of an unlicensed camera in public should be made a criminal offence in the same way as possession of an unlicensed firearm.
Such legislation would not only lead to a dramatic increase in public safety, it would have a number of fringe benefits. Most notable would be the return of decorum to London's residential areas, where national figures are often forced to defend themselves and their families by any means to hand against the attentions of marauding gangs of wannabee celebrity documentarians.
True, such steps may impact not only the livelihood of the full-time professional photographer, but also the activities of the newer breed of part-timer. But the former are a dwindling species, and so far as the latter are concerned the earnings of the average microstock photographer are so low that this would be literally a very small price to pay for safety on the streets.
Doubtless some photography enthusiasts will claim that these measures will lead to the death of public photography altogether, and the subsequent loss of a visual record of life in Britain. But such claims are demonstrably untrue. 20% of the world's security cameras are in the UK: the average Londoner is photographed 300 times a day by these devices. Any reasonable person will conclude that this is more than enough photography without having unlicensed photographers roaming our cities unchecked.
And there are of course those who will decry such measures as an attack on their so-called civil liberties. Nothing could be further from the truth. For one thing such steps would serve to protect those currently wielding cameras in public. Bereft of cameras the veil of suspicion that currently surrounds them would be removed, and also the risk that well-meaning vigilantes or over-enthusiastic armed officers might be forced to restrain them.
In fact restrictions on public photography are commonplace not only in many countries, but are also practiced by many progressive political movements. In its irresponsible permitting of random acts of photography it is Britain that is out of step with the rest of the world.


Just 17km northwest of Sierra de la Ventana is the peaceful village of Villa Ventana. There's nothing much to do here except poke around the artesano shops and wander the dusty streets, which meander through pretty residential neighborhoods full of pine trees. You can also investigate the ruins of South America's first casino, by guided tour only; see the tourist office, located at the town's entrance. Villa Ventana is a closer base than Sierra de la Ventana from which to visit Parque Provincial Ernesto Tornquist.

Does skills look so familiar, they seem to do exact same thing, and they seem to have quite the same stats when they are maxed out so... whats the difference? is there any sence of maxing out 2 of them ? or should I just max out the Flame Hammer and ignore entirly the emberquake ?
Is there a sense of using them once I hit with it then with that ? this skill is so similiar to Flame Hammer in my opinion that I dont even know why it is there!
Well actually Earthquake is much more a mage skill since it gets more bonuses from Focus since it has built in fire damage while flame hammer is completely depended on weapon dps. Not to say it won't benefit from focus but a stronger weapon will trump a higher focus build.
Don't know if you just didn't look or didn't see it but there is a post a little farther down on the exact same thing with some more responses to answer your question.
If you almost Strength, go with Flame Hammer.
And other o with Emberquake.
The truly power of Flame Hammer is when using charge; better damage on single target ( of course when using charge), less mana than Emberquake.
Emberquake have more range and better than FH on crowd clear, no need charge to be use.

The serial failures of UPAC and justice
magictr | September 26, 2020 | News | No Comments
What? Another corruption trial that ends up in the wall? And not because a judge ruled on the merits of the charges, but because of unreasonable delays?
It becomes a habit. The case of Nathalie Normandeau recalls the repeated setbacks of the Permanent Anti-Corruption Unit (UPAC) and our justice system, widely documented by our Investigation Office and by our journalists who cover the legal scene:
In September 2015, all charges were withdrawn against the former mayor of Saint-Constant Gilles Pépin, who had been accused of fraud and breach of trust two years earlier. The evidence collected by UPAC no longer held, because the credibility of an important witness had collapsed.
In February 2018, the contractor Tony Accurso was acquitted, he who was suspected of having written a check for $ 300,000 to the former mayor of Mascouche Richard Marcotte in return for municipal contracts. The judge ruled that the money had been paid out of friendship rather than to bribe the former mayor.
In May 2018, the former number two of the City of Montreal Frank Zampino and the entrepreneur Paolo Catania were acquitted in the scandal of the Faubourg Contrecœur. The Crown alleged a ploy to lower the value of contaminated land that would have cost taxpayers millions of dollars, but the judge instead ruled that the evidence was based on "possibilities" and "impressions" rather than hard facts.
Again the PLQ
In May 2019, our Bureau of Investigation revealed that the Contour project, an investigation carried out over 5 years by UPAC into the involvement of the mafia in the sharing of contracts with the City of Montreal, had failed. Mafiosi captured on camera hiding wads of cash in their stockings at the Café Consenza would never be accused. Sources blamed the DPCP's unwillingness.
In September 2019, Frank Zampino (again!) Escaped serious charges of fraud in municipal contracts totaling $ 160 million, because conversations with his lawyer were unduly spied on during the investigation against him.
In November 2019, UPAC announced that it was putting an end to the Justesse project, which targeted fundraisers of the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) in a case of alleged real estate fraud. According to information from our Bureau of Investigation, UPAC feared that searches of suspects' computer equipment, carried out several years earlier, would be contested after charges had been laid.
Last June, another investigation targeting the entourage of the PLQ, called Modesty, ended in a fishtail. For 7 years, UPAC suspected the former liberal financier Marc Bibeau of having been involved in a case of the diversion of materials intended for a public contract. A judge had even found the statements of investigators sufficiently credible to authorize several search warrants, but no explanation was provided for the closure of the file.
I will not elaborate on the setbacks of the Mâchurer investigation, officially still active, which has been looking into allegations of illegal financing at the PLQ since 2014. Last January, Michel Massicotte, the lawyer for ex-Prime Minister Jean Charest, even publicly put pressure on UPAC. He aired on public television that the farce had gone on long enough and that the investigation had to stop "because there is no proof". It must be said that the police were slowed down for 3 years because Marc Bibeau challenged the validity of search warrants up to the Supreme Court.
Not a success
Even when we freak out because the former mayor of Laval Gilles Vaillancourt was sent to prison for a year for corruption, we forget that 7 of his 36 co-defendants have avoided a trial because of unreasonable judicial delays. Three of the alleged accomplices even had time to die before being tried.
There is no common denominator in this series of failures and failed trials. Sometimes these are botched UPAC investigations. Sometimes it is the Crown that lacks ambition. Sometimes it is the endless bureaucracy and the delays of the justice system. Sometimes, too, they are brilliant defense lawyers who successfully deploy a wealth of imagination to get their clients acquitted.
But one thing is certain: 10 years after Quebec society decided that it was necessary to fight corruption once and for all, we really cannot conclude that this vast enterprise is a success.

Like most married couples, Chrisie and I have developed our own language over the years. We may speak English, but certain words and phrases have meanings unique to our relationship. Some are recognizable to others and I imagine other couples would have little difficulty sussing their meaning. Some seem at fist familiar, but take on a deeper context. Some, of course, a pretty straightforward, such as when one of us says, "Honey, I need you." What follows, however, is rarely straightforward.
When we were first married, Chrisie usually said, "Honey, I need you," when she needed me to do something such as take out the trash, zip up a dress, or hang a picture. It really only became different after we moved a TV into our bedroom. One time, I was in the kitchen when she called to me from our bedroom.
It was evening, we had nothing to do, and only child was fast asleep so I excitedly ran to the bedroom. I'm not sure exactly what I was suspecting (yes I am), but what I found was my wife laying on the bed watching television.
"Okay, I'm here. Uh, what can I do for you?" I asked (somewhat hopefully).
"Of course I can hand you the remote." I just kept looking at her.
"Will, you hand me the remote?" she sighed. Still looking.
"Please?" she finished sounding annoyed.
"Right there." I turned around but couldn't see it on the entertainment center.
"Aren't you also on the bed?" I asked as I turned around and scanned the foot of the bed for the remote.
"It's right there!" she said and pointed. I finally saw it.
"Will you just get it?" I made a show of slowly pushing it toward her hand until her fingers could grasp it.
It was not the last time we had a similar conversation. In fact, we have had that conversation several times. Of course, in all fairness, I also use the phrase. When I do, it is usually to get Chrisie to provide a service that she alone can do.
"Honey, I need you," I called from our Family Room.
"Oh for pity's sake." She finally stepped on it, which was good as I may have started screaming like a little girl if it got any closer.
We have had this conversation more often than any about remotes.
Chrisie and I say, "Honey, I need you," to one another regularly. We use it for the trivial and mundane as well as the important. We use it for remotes, for spiders, for the moment we learned Chrisie was pregnant with our daughter, for the time a dear friend passed away, for a random quiet morning without the children, for the time I hated my job, and the time I loved my job, for the early morning hours we watched our son struggle to breathe, for watching first steps and first skinned knees, for joy, for sorrow, for anything and everything, and from one to another. We weaved those words into the fabric of our marriage to craft a comforting blanket that provides warmth and familiarity. But the best aspect is that in every situation the reply is always the same.

Ten years ago last Wednesday, I moved into this house—a house the Lord chose for me and led me to. I had the fun of decorating it, learning the neighborhood, living here with two different beagles (Lady and Sallie) and two different cats (Cassie and Dolphin). The house had a couple of juniper bushes along the front, which have grown and gotten quite nasty in their old age. If you brushed against them, you got raw, burning scratches. They served well for draping Christmas lights on, and that was about it. So this spring I asked Chase Vaccarelli, my yard buddy, if he'd pull the little beasts out. This he did, and the front of my house looks so open and clean and welcoming! AND, this afternoon, Chase and I went to a tree nursery and chose some shrubs and a tree to landscape the newly opened area. I am now the proud owner of: • two magic carpet spiraea, with beautiful red flowers, • two dwarf burning bushes, of gorgeous crimson, • a red prince weigela, with profuse red flowers, and • an aristocrat pear tree, which will flower but not produce fruit. At the moment they're sitting in their pots in the grass, enjoying being watered, waiting for Chase to find time to plant them. Ain't it fun?!

Q: Android onActivityResult. Member variable is sometimes null I've written an App and now, post release, some of my users seem to be experiencing a nasty bug. One that I am simply unable to reproduce.
Involved in this are three Activities.
Activity 1: SuperActivity
public abstract class SuperActivity extends Activity

Activity 2: MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends SuperActivity {

  private MyObject myMemberVariable;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    //Get the intent that started this activity. I am always providing Extras, so this is never null.
    Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();

    //Set stuff in myMemberVariable from these extras. This never fails either.
    myMemberVariable = BundleLoader.loadFromBundle(bundle);

  }

  @Override
  public void onListDialogClick(int requestCode, String[] options, int position, String extra) {
    //THIS is the place where, according to my stacktrace from the DeveloperConsole, the null pointer arises.
    myMemberVariable.setXY(position);
  }

Activity 3: ListDialogActivity
public class ListDialogActivity extends SuperActivity

What I'm doing here is I start the ListDialogActivity from MainActivity to present the user with a few choices. Once he made a selection, the ListDialogActivity will set a result and then finish. In the SuperActivity I've got:
onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  //if activityRequestCode was ListDialogRequestCode and the Result was RESULT_OK, then call onListDialogClick(..) with the appropriate values.
}

So this is how the onListDialogClick() in my MainActivity is invoked (So you can just think of it as a normal onActivityResult()). There, SOME few users experience a null pointer exception because myMemberVariable is null.
I cannot figure out what is happening here. Also, I am saving my instance state to handle phone rotations, but even if I did not, since the onCreate would be recalled, it still would not be null, it would only have lost it's state and been recreated from the initial Intent.
Can anyone please explain to me how this is possible and whats happening here? Did I missunderstand something from Android? Why is it only happening to a few people? What could be the reason for this? I'd be really gratefull for even the tiniest suggestion.
Thanks so much!

A: zapl is correct in that you have to save the values in onSaveInstanceState, and in my case I am restoring in onCreate() which runs BEFORE onActivityResult, so no more NullPointerExceptions!
You have probably sorted this by now, but I was having oodles of trouble with the same issue. My app starts the camera to take a photo, and then copy the captured file into the currentDirectory in the app. Occasionally when the photo was taken I was getting NullPointerExceptions in onActivityResult.
It took me a while to realise the activity must have been getting killed by Androids memory management, and recreated, thus losing all my member variables. This wasn't obvious (hats off to Android for such a seamless kill / restore!). This was happening on an HTC Desire HD, and was so random it was very hard to track down.

Ex-CDC boss roasted for calling Delta variant a 'heat-seeking missile' for unvaxxed as Israel says HALF of infected had Covid jab

Former CDC director Tom Frieden was criticized on Monday after he called the Delta variant of Covid-19 a "heat-seeking missile" that targets the unvaccinated – with many pointing out Delta apparently infects the vaccinated too.
"As Delta spreads rapidly, it's acting like a heat-seeking missile targeting those who haven't yet been vaccinated," said Frieden, who served as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under former president Barack Obama between 2009 and 2017.

Though Frieden received over 9,000 likes and 2,000 retweets on Twitter, many commenters also criticized and ridiculed the ex-health official over the claim.

The Delta variant was first identified in India in late 2020, and it is yet to be fully understood how well the available vaccines can protect against it. While some manufacturers and studies have said the jabs should be effective enough, the most popular argument being made is that even if they fail to shield against the virus, the severity of the disease would be greatly reduced.
However, it's not what Frieden wrote – and while some rolled their eyes over the bluntness of the statement, others wondered if the ex-official even understood how heat-seeking missiles and coronavirus work.
Good grief. These hersterics treat diseases like monster movies. As if the Dreaded Delta is stalking you. https://t.co/kxCW2arw2o

That's not how "heat seeking" missiles work. The infrared seeker head hones in on a heat source (jet exhaust) and sends a signal to to the control surfaces to steer yonder missile. Then when in range (they generally aren't direct strike) the warhead goes boom like a shotgun https://t.co/oF8BwHyLRG

Several users countered with reports that the Delta variant has been targeting those vaccinated against Covid-19 as much as it has been targeting the unvaccinated. That seems to be a picture emerging from Israel – the most-vaccinated country in the world – with Israeli Health Ministry head, Chezy Levy, telling the state broadcaster Kan Bet last week that up to 50% of new Delta variant cases in Israel have been recorded among vaccinated individuals. The official added that the authorities are still analyzing the actual figures, but fully vaccinated Israelis who've come in contact with the Delta variant will be told to self-isolate.
Many of the critics cited the developments in Israel as the reason they considered that Frieden's statement clashed with reality.
50% of Delta variant cases in Israel have been in people fully vaxed.In the UK, where the Delta variant makes up more than 90% of cases, 26 of 73 total deaths associated with the Delta variant were among people who had been fully vaccinated, The Telegraph reported this week.

It actually appears to be targeting everyone, as around 50% of the new cases in Israel are in vaccinated individuals.https://t.co/902G1QpIEU

Delta is rife amongst the vaccinated too.

Others focused on the ex-CDC director's scandalous past, with one branding him a "heat-seeking sexual predator eyeing his prey," in reference to Frieden pleading guilty to groping a woman without her consent in 2019. Though Frieden faced up to a year in prison at the time on charges of forcible touching, third-degree sexual abuse, and second-degree harassment, he avoided imprisonment after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct and was ordered to stay away from the woman for a year.

The Delta variant – and the newly emerged strain dubbed 'Delta plus' – are still being studied. However, it is said that if the Alpha (or the 'British') variant was roughly 60% more transmissible than the first known strains of SARS-CoV-2, the Delta variant is 60% more transmissible than the Alpha.

It should be added that several of the EWA National Associations are already working on the implementation of the Code.
As one would expect, there has been a great deal of debate about the commitment, which is going to be required from the associations and their individual members. The association members will now deliberate over the next year. Some may want to shorten it; others may want to express it in broader terms embracing the wider environment in order to reflect the role that water has in an integrated environment and the practical fact that many associations have members in sectors other than water. In the very end what has been agreed is what the EWA has always expected from its members. It is just that these expectations have now been articulated and recorded more clearly. It is very much an aspiration and a clear signal to the wider community about the behaviours which modern professional (water) environmentalists must adhere to.
CIWEM has acted as the pathfinder and adopted the Code at its Council meeting already in April. Also, Germany is very active and has engaged professional assistance for the final formulation and presentation to its members.

Learn Midwest Finesse
YUM's Finesse Worm
August 28, 2017 By Ned Kehde
During the first decade of the 21st century, Midwest finesse anglers in northeastern Kansas made innumerable casts and retrieves with some YUM Baits' small soft-plastic baits, such as their three-inch Dinger, two-inch Wooly Beavertail, three-inch Wooly Beavertail, 3 1/2-inch Wooly Bug, four-inch Muy Grub, and four-inch Houdini Worm. And we inveigled incredible numbers of black bass on those soft-plastic baits, which we rigged on 1/32-, 1/16-, and 3/32-ounce Gopher Tackle's Mushroom Head jigs. In fact, we anointed the three-inch Dinger as northeastern Kansas' lure of the year in 2004, and throughout those years, the Wooly Beavertail was often a runner-up in our lure-of-the-year contests.
But as Midwest finesse fishing began to garner increasing numbers of anglers in northeastern Kansas, northwestern Missouri and a few other spots around the Midwest, YUM stopped manufacturing the three-inch Dinger, two-inch and three-inch Wooly Beavertail, four-inch Muy Grub, and four-inch Houdini Worm. Many of us, of course, were discombobulated by YUM's decision to stop manufacturing five of our key Midwest finesse baits, and we spent a considerable amount of time searching for other kinds of soft-plastic baits to affix to our Gopher jigs.
Recently, however, YUM began to manufacture some soft-plastic baits that are catching the eyes of Midwest finesse anglers. For instance, many of them were heartened to see YUM remanufacturing the three-inch Dinger in 2015. And this year, they began manufacturing a replacement for their Houdini Worm, which is called the Finesse Worm.
It is 4 7/8 inches long. The folks at YUM advertise it as being five-inches long. And many Midwest finesse anglers will trim a 1/2 of an inch or more from its head before they affix it to a mushroom-style jig.
A slightly shortened YUM's Ghillie Suit Finesse Worm affixed to a red 1/16-ounce Gopher Tackle's Mushroom Head jig is at the top of this photograph. The uncut version is at the bottom.
Much of its sides and back are embellished with a series of V-shaped ribs, and the apex of the V-shaped rib occurs along the top of its back.
It has a flat belly, and much of it is smooth-skinned. But imprints from each of the ribs form a series of dots on each side of its belly.
Its egg sack is situated 1 1/4 inches from the tip of its head. The egg sack is 3/8 of an inch long. It is adorned with a series of minor V-shaped ribs.
As the torso of the Finesse Worm forms the junction to its tail, the size of the V-shaped ribs become smaller and farther apart. The diameter of the junction section is smaller than the diameters of the torso and tail.
Its tail is somewhat bulbous, and it is 1 1/8 inches long. Part of the top of the tail is endowed with six large V-shaped ribs and one small rib. The last 1/2 inch of the tail is smooth-skinned. The bottom portion of the tail is similar to the belly of its torso: flat, smooth-skinned, and accented with a series of dots on each of its sides.
It is available in the following colors: Black, Bourbon Berry, Cranberry, Ghillie Suit, Green Pumpkin, Green Pumpkin/Purple Flake, Junebug, Old School Purple, Onyx, Plum, Watermelon Green Pumpkin Laminate, Watermelon Red, and Watermelon Seed.
It is impregnated with an attractant that is created from a blend of enzymes and what YUM describes as natural attractants.
Anglers can purchase a package of 12 for $2.99.
