For 17-year-old Alex Wilson, life couldn't be better. Having mastered being the Princess of a magical kingdom and her real life and schoolwork, Alex finally has everything under control. The great and powerful elephant, Anala, Princess Alex's magical protector, grazes on tomatoes in the back yard — still a well-kept secret from her parents and little sister Zoe. But being the ruler of any kingdom means defending it — from without as well as within. And for the new Princess, everything is about to change.
While Alex and Amanda find a new drummer (Taylor), Kuru runs into trouble from a gang in West Manjipoor. Alex comes to help Kuru and meets his childhood friends, Caleb and Zamira. When the gang won't leave Kuru alone, he finds himself at The Elephant Temple Ruins, where a strange visual disturbance ignites. Caleb and Alex help Kuru against the gang but when the visual disturbance turns into a black hole, unexplained forces fire up. The black hole starts sucking in anything it can — leaves, dust, even some of the gang members! Alex gestures at the heart of the shimmer and the disturbance disappears. Alex, Caleb and Kuru leave, unaware that the disturbance reappears and has stabilised. Zamira has seen everything and explains to Caleb that these ruins are actually the tomb of Dark Magic. Dark tendrils of smoke emanate from the shimmer and reveal... DIVA! What have they done?
Notes: the "ands" listed above are credited in every episode (but don't necessarily appear) and won't repeated for subsequent episodes. As a whole, the cast credits aren't particularly accurate so I've crossed out the actor who don't appear.
Alex, Amanda and Taylor are really coming together as a band, so they put a demo CD together and score the hottest gig in town, at the Canal Club. But Taylor still mixes the sound for his girlfriend's (Veronica) band, and she doesn't like sharing. After Veronica tries to steal their gig, the club manager decides the bands should battle it out to win the spot. Veronica gives Taylor an ultimatum — if he plays with Alex and Amanda, their relationship is over. Will he choose to play drums in a band and lose his girlfriend, or mix the sound for his girlfriend's band? Playing on their unfortunate circumstances, their family's chequered history with Dark Magic, and her disregard for the Royal Family, Diva recruits Zamira and Caleb into her quest for Dark Magic and revenge on Alex. But Caleb isn't so sure about this.
When Caleb comes to the palace looking for work, Alex is glad to see him. Kuru isn't, and assigns him the role of Royal Elephant Washer. The chemistry between Alex and Caleb is palpable, but Kuru is very suspicious of him. Upon instruction from Diva, Caleb gets Alex out of the palace and takes her to West Manjipoor where she gets a taste of the other side of her Kingdom. Meanwhile, Diva raids the palace in an attempt to get the book. Alex senses a problem and returns for a showdown with Diva in which Caleb gets injured protecting Alex. Diva flees empty handed but now Caleb is working on the inside. Everything has gone according to her plan.
Alex returns to Manjipoor to check on Caleb, who's still very hurt. Kuru doesn't like her being here with Diva loose but Alex won't leave until she has what Diva's after — the book. After magically revealing the book, Alex takes it and Caleb to her world for protection. Caleb is brought to the Taylor's Warehouse and although Taylor has questions about where he's come from, he agrees to let Caleb crash. Once Alex's magic has brought Caleb back to good health they are closer than ever. Caleb kisses Alex and she calls it a heat of the moment thing, but is surprised by the emotions it has stirred up in her. Between covering for Alex's "weird habits" and dealing with Veronica, Amanda helps Taylor see that he's better off without his ex.
Even though Caleb is getting better, and is getting along well with Alex, she wants to cool off their relationship and doesn't think he should come to the band's gig. When Caleb suggests he'll return to Manjipoor, Alex doesn't object and he takes this as a sign that she feels nothing for him. Caleb begins to read the book but stops, aware of his choice between this or Alex. Veronica interrupts and brings him to the gig in an attempt to make Taylor jealous. It doesn't work. However, it does make Alex realise how strongly her feelings for Caleb are. As Kuru and Zamira spend time together, they return to their roots as best friends from West Manjipoor. But is that all they'll ever be?
Desperate to know why Diva wants the book so badly, Alex plans a trip to Manjipoor but Caleb refuses to let her go without him. So Alex turns Amanda into her double, "Alex". "Alex" looks like the real Alex but inside it is really Amanda, who is tasked with keeping Caleb occupied. After "Alex" grills Caleb with questions about his relationship history, Caleb figures out who he's really dealing with and decides to have a little fun. But when things go out of hand "Alex" bails, losing track of Caleb. Meanwhile, Alex seeks answers about the book from Zamira, who is resentful toward Alex's Royal Family and of little help. Alex and Kuru go to the Elephant Temple Ruins and discover that the book is linked to the ruins and may contain the ways to control Dark Magic. They must protect the book so that Diva never gets it.
Caleb's place in the Alex's world is distracting Alex from schoolwork and her band, so she decides it's best for Caleb to go back to Manjipoor. Before he leaves, Caleb secretly reads the book, but returns empty handed, which infuriates Diva. In an attempt to protect Alex, Caleb goes to the Elephant Temple ruins and performs a ritual to gain Dark Magic powers which grants him super strength. Caleb uses his new powers against the local gang, but it isn't until he sees them the next day that he remembers the fight. Caleb begins to wonder if he got more than he bargained for. Without Caleb, Alex is distracted and struggles to study for her music theory exam. Amanda tries to help Alex focus but realises she belongs with Caleb.
For their music assignment, bands must write an original song. When Veronica's group can't write theirs, she steals the recording of Alex's band's song, replaces her vocals for Alex's, and tries to claim it as her own. The truth is revealed and Veronica faces expulsion as punishment, but in an unexpected turn Alex begs the teacher to give Veronica another chance. Veronica still struggles to write an original song, until Alex puts their rivalry aside and helps her succeed. In Manjipoor, Caleb practices his Dark Magic, while Diva and Zamira begin to suspect he has feelings for Alex. Zamira tries to get closer to Kuru, in an attempt to get the book back to Manjipoor and in her reach.
Zamira finds out that Caleb has been reading the book and gaining Dark Magic. Despite the great danger this puts them in if Diva found out, Zamira helps Caleb gain a new power — to jump between worlds. Caleb uses this power to secretly come to Alex's world and protect her from Todd, a friend of Veronica's who's interested in Alex. Though Alex is happy when Todd leaves her alone, she's completely unaware of Caleb's dark secret. Now Zamira plays the dangerous game of keeping the truth about Caleb from Diva, at a time when Diva's suspicions are rising.
Note: I'm pretty sure Jessica Green, one of the stars of Jonathan M Shiff's next series, Lightning Point, appears as an extra. Look for her early in the episode after Caleb knocks the coconut out of the tree. In the next scene she walks through the foreground.
When Caleb comes to the warehouse in secret to read the book, Taylor almost catches him. In an attempt to conceal his identity, Caleb transports Taylor to Manjipoor, where Taylor gets lost. Alex and Amanda are concerned when they can't find him anywhere. But it's not long before Diva captures Taylor and, upon finding out he's a friend of the Alex's, she tries to use him as a bartering chip to get the book. Alex goes to Manjipoor, prepared to make the exchange to save Taylor, but before she has to, Caleb discretely uses his powers to save Taylor. Caleb doesn't reveal his secret to anyone, but Diva is certain someone is using Dark Magic. Back in Alex's world, Taylor knows Alex's secret! After Caleb loses Taylor he goes to Zamira for help, and though she's frustrated by Caleb using his powers so carelessly, she tries to help Taylor, but only winds up in the middle of Diva's plans.
Unhappy at spending so much time apart, Alex invites Caleb to live in her world permanently. Much to Kuru's concern, Caleb accepts the proposal. But Zamira insists on staying in Manjipoor where Caleb can't protect her from Diva. When Diva threatens Zamira's safety, Caleb uses his Dark Magic and not only reveals his secret to Diva, but that he's not scared of her either. Caleb can get the book, and uses this to gain power over Diva and keep Zamira safe. When Alex and Taylor get invited to Veronica's birthday party, Amanda is left off the guest list. After pretending she doesn't care, Amanda goes to the party as Taylor's guest, but Veronica doesn't make her welcome.
While Alex gets excited about Caleb coming to live in her world, he is busy keeping his Dark Magic secret from her. Diva learns that Caleb has fallen for Alex and sends Zamira to tell Kuru about Caleb's secret powers. Caleb has betrayed Alex and when Kuru confronts him about this, a fight breaks out between the two boys. Seeing Kuru's injuries and hearing his suspicions gives Alex suspicions of her own about Caleb. Alex lays a plan and catches Caleb with the book, red-handed. Heartbroken by his betrayal, she sends Caleb back to Manjipoor. They're finished. Everything went exactly to Diva's plan, Alex is hurt, Caleb has nowhere to go and all that's left is for Caleb to bring them the book. Kuru now feels he can no longer be Alex's advisor and quits his job.
When Alex tries to destroy the book, she finds that it is protected by magic. Unable to convince Caleb to help them, Diva begins a Dark Magic ritual, guided only by what Zamira can remember from reading the book in the past. It's a success; Diva gains Dark Magic, including the power to jump between worlds, and Kuru sees it all! While Diva storms the warehouse, seeking the book, Kuru confronts Zamira, hurt by her betrayal. Kuru learns what Diva's up to and goes to Alex's world with Caleb to fight. Alex puts up a good fight but her powers are no match for Dark Magic. It is Caleb who stops Diva from killing Alex, but his efforts don't redeem him for his betrayal. Diva returns to Manjipoor with the book where she and Zamira claim the palace. With nowhere else to go Caleb stands by Zamira, but he doesn't like this at all. Kuru convinces Alex it's pointless going after Diva without the book. Alex accepts it for now, but this isn't over.
Despite Diva's reign of the kingdom, Alex goes to West Manjipoor to visit Kuru. As they can't beat Diva, they try to cut her power off from the source — the vault. But even with magic, Alex can't close it, nor can she convince Kuru to come to her world with her. Life in the palace bores Caleb; he returns to Alex's world and runs into trouble with Taylor. In a heated moment Caleb uses his powers against Taylor and Veronica sees! They have a hard time explaining it. When Alex finds out Caleb's around she makes sure he knows that she wants nothing to do with him.
Just as the band are looking forward to their gig, Alex, Amanda and Taylor find out the club is closing down and they've lost their only place to play. Seeing how important it is to Alex, Caleb uses Dark Magic to conjure up money and becomes an investor in the Canal Club. The band get their gig back! But Alex won't play for him, not when he's using Dark Magic and risks exposing their secrets. Instead, Veronica and her group get the gig they've always wanted and Alex spends some time with a friend in need.
When Caleb uses Dark Magic to give himself incredible guitar skills, Veronica is quick to recruit him for her music. Once again, Alex is disappointed in Caleb for using Dark Magic publically as he could expose their secret. Caleb apologises and is about to quit Veronica's group, except when Veronica videotaped their rehearsal she recorded footage of Caleb using his Dark Magic to disappear. She makes it very clear that if he quits on her, everyone will know his secret. Afraid it'll lead back to her, and Manjipoor, Alex helps Caleb out of this mess. At Veronica's gig, Alex, Caleb, Amanda and Taylor work together to destroy the footage of Caleb disappearing and completely turn the tables on Veronica.
It's Amanda's birthday so Alex and Taylor are planning an awesome surprise party, which leads them to lie to Amanda. Amanda thinks they've forgotten her birthday until a great surprise which leaves her ecstatic. But the party is crashed by Zamira who has some unsettling news… After too much time spent reading the book, Zamira is going to call it quits until Diva tells her that Alex's mother killed Zamira and Caleb's mother. Full of anger at Alex and her Royal family, Zamira goes to the Alex's world to get Caleb. The first person she meets is Veronica, whose suspicions about Caleb are rising. Veronica leads Zamira to Amanda's party. After the new revelation about their mother's death, Zamira expects Caleb to cut all ties with Alex, but he doesn't believe what Diva told Zamira and sides with Alex. Zamira goes home with more anger at Alex and the Royal family than ever.
Zamira comes to a section of the book that is blocked by the Royal Seal. Unable to get past it without a Royal, Diva plans to force Alex to read it for them. Diva gives Senq (a West Manjipoor thug) and his gang Dark Magic powers to help her mission in Alex's world. Veronica is gathering more suspicions about Alex and Caleb and is happy to oblige when Diva arrives, wanting help getting to Alex. Veronica thought she'd get answers from Diva, but instead gets a dangerous showdown in her backyard. When Alex refuses to help Diva, Caleb comes to save her but gets hurt in the process. Caleb recovers and it looks like he and Alex are growing closer again.
Still unable to make progress reading the book, Diva sends Senq to bring Kuru to the palace to see if he can be of use. Upon learning that Kuru is being held against his will, Zamira helps him escape the palace and Caleb helps him escape Senq. On a mission to get the book back before Diva can read any more of it, Alex runs into Zamira and reads the blocked section of the book. the book plays a flashback, which reveals the truth that Diva killed Zamira and Caleb's mother. Diva confirms this and although Zamira will never help her again, it's too late, Alex has unlocked the book for Diva. Dealing with Veronica's suspicions about Alex and Caleb is becoming a very difficult task, but Amanda and Taylor do their best.
After leaving Diva's fold, Zamira is reluctantly in Alex's world and still at odds with Alex. Determined to learn the truth about their mothers, Zamira works with Alex, who, with Kuru, uses her magic to observe Zamira's memories. The truth is that their mothers were good friends who worked together, and Zamira finally stops seeing Alex as the enemy. When Veronica secretly records a conversation between Amanda and Taylor about Alex's secret, she plans to put everything she knows on the internet. Instead of letting Veronica tell the world, Alex tells Veronica the whole truth, and Veronica has to believe it when she meets Anala!
When Zamira and Kuru return to life in West Manjipoor, Zamira is threatened by Senq and Caleb feels he needs more Dark Magic to protect those he loves. He begins the ritual to gain more power, but Senq causes Caleb to mess up the ritual, giving him more Dark Magic than he meant and much more than he can handle. Now that Veronica knows Alex is a Princess, she begins treating her like royalty. After Veronica decides to join Alex's band, Alex decides it's all too much and gives her the Royal direction to go back to the old Veronica… who isn't in their band!
Unable to read the book herself, Diva plans to capture Alex to make Caleb read it. But when Senq is sent to get Alex, he takes Amanda as well. Caleb and Taylor realise the girls are gone and rush to Manjipoor to help them. While Taylor helps rescue Amanda, Caleb is helpless. He suffers from visions of a disturbance at the vault of Dark Magic and when he gets these flashes, he loses control. Diva's plan is foiled when Alex, Amanda and Taylor return home safely, no thanks to Caleb. Realising how worried Taylor was when Amanda was in trouble is just the push those two needed two take their friendship to the next level.
The end of year music awards are on and it's a big deal when Alex asks Caleb to go with her — he promises not to let her down. But just as he's about to meet Alex he gets transported between worlds against his will and Zamira helps him see that this is the vault of Dark Magic controlling him. Despite his weakened state, Caleb goes to the palace, tries to seek answers from the book (to no success) and barely escapes Diva. Meanwhile, Alex goes to the awards night alone, her band wins an award but she can't get Caleb off her mind. Then, in an attempt to save Alex from more pain, Caleb tells her he can't see her anymore and he leaves for good.
Knowing he's dangerous, Caleb goes into hiding and doesn't want to be found. But when Zamira and Kuru tell Alex that Caleb is a victim to the vault, she insists he needs their help. Caleb uses the last of his strength to protect Alex's friends from Senq, but has lost the power to jump when Diva takes him prisoner. There's no comfort for Caleb, not only has he lost control, but the vault is sucking life out of him as well. So what does Diva want him for?
Diva begins returning Caleb's Dark Magic to the vault and Senq arrives in Alex's world to stop Alex getting in the way of Diva's plan. As Diva sacrifices Caleb to the vault, the barrier begins to break and Alex escapes from Senq to West Manjipoor quicker than ever. Alex arrives in time to see Caleb disappearing into the vault and Diva smiling in victory. But Alex won't give up. She throws herself into the vault after Caleb and destroys it from the inside. Caleb and Alex land outside while Diva is sucked back in, where she belongs and never to be seen again… But Caleb is lifeless. Was Alex too late? Just as Alex kisses him one final time, Caleb returns to life! the book is safely returned to the palace, where Kuru and Zamira are together at last, while Alex and Caleb go back to Alex's world and rock out at another gig.

chaos in the congos and holidays at home
17 May- 1 July 2007
Republic of Congo, DR Congo and a slice of Europe
No, we haven't been kidnapped by gun-toting ninja rebels and Amaya hasn't been made the umpteenth wife of some minor African king: we've been on vacation in Europe! More about that later. The last update of our African saga (and sufferings) left off with Eric in the throes of his third malaria bout in Gabon just 50 kilometers from the Republic of Congo border. The rains had yet to wind down, travel was rough and morale low. Medical care in the remote border outpost was basic at best and the only doctor in town had traveled to Libreville for medical assistance. The hospital staff could do little more than dish out malaria medicine, so when we returned two days later worried that Eric's fever had yet to come down and he had developed a nasty looking rash, they were of little help. Finally we resorted to self-diagnosis and with the help of our Lonely Planet Africa health guide we decided he must have contracted Typhoid fever. Luckily we were carrying the recommended medicine for treatment. He started the course of drugs and within a few days we were back on the bikes headed down a narrow, muddy track surrounded by tall grass on our way to Congo.
Progress was fairly good given the less than ideal road conditions and by mid-day we had reached the border. Here we nearly got lost in the labyrinth of customs, immigration, police and military posts all staffed by dodgy officials carefully scrutinizing our documents and looking for ways to eke a bribe out of us. Despite the scorching sun the customs guy even insisted on searching all our panniers for illegal weapons--guess he thought we might be arms-dealers masquerading as simple cyclists. The police wanted proof that we were really tourists and entitled to enter on a tourist visa. This was tricky--how can one prove he is a tourist? Several hours were wasted with this nonsense, until the officials eventually tired of the games and realized no money would be forthcoming. Fortunately the farther we rode from the border, the friendlier the officials became. At the next town our passports were returned before the officer in charge asked for a small donation to pay for fuel for the generator. 200 kilometers down the road the police were giving us directions, offering us mandarins and guiding us to a hotel. Things were looking up.
Cycling came to a halt as we pedaled into Loutete. This was the last town before the Ninja-zone where drugged-up and well-armed rebels were known to hassle passing motorists. They were unpredictable, we were told, and although the peace process was underway it was best not to take chances. A freight train under military escort was leaving that evening and the officer in charge said we were welcome to come along for the ride. 10 PM, the scheduled time of departure, came and went. We found the young commandant, his colleagues and some scantily clad female companions downing Ngok beers in the bar next door. He was unfazed by the delay and told us to check back again around midnight. We had had the good sense to take a room at one of the small auberges, so we went back to the hotel, turned on the fan full-blast in hopes of drowning out the music and set the alarm for 12:00. No train at 12:00, nor at 2PM when we next checked back and by 4PM everyone appeared to have conked out (although the music was still going full blast). When the train finally did arrive at noon the following day, we were given the place of honor right up front in the caboose next to the driver. Our bikes were securely tied down on to the roof just behind the machine gun which was mounted to deter would-be looters and sundry bandits. Our military escorts were a ragtag bunch--many in flip-flops, others with the soles of their boots worn through, some in ripped trousers and wearing an array of t-shirts and camouflage gear. They were keeping watch from the roof, with AK-47s casually slung over their shoulders and some armed with rocket launchers and grenades. The train was ancient--a cast-off from the South Africans--and at the slightest incline we would slow to a crawl, going no faster than 20 kilometers per hour. The conductor relished in pointing on the remains of various derailments and rickety bridges and a look of glee crossed his face as Amaya cringed. The exhausting 200 kilometer trip took nearly 12 hours and the dark streets were almost deserted when we pulled into Brazzaville station.
Our stay in Brazzaville was a pleasant one as we basked in relative luxury as the guests of Olivier (himself a fellow cyclist) at the Hippocampe Hotel. Hot showers, satellite TV, rubbing elbows with UN workers and embassy staff at the buffet--a welcome change from roughing it on the road. But we eventually had to tear ourselves away from all the indulgences and head over the river to Kinshasa in DR Congo since our visas were about to expire. There was a flurry of a activity at the border crossing: a brass band was warming up, a red carpet was being unfurled, sharp shooters were positioned on the rooftops of surrounding buildings and truckloads of soldiers were rumbling by. The DRC's president, Joseph Kabila, had come for a visit to Congo-Brazzaville and the border was closed. We were turned back and told to come the following morning when the ferry would be again running as usual. What luck we thought...our visas will be expired and who knows how much the officers will try to extort from us.
Cycling back to the hotel we were bemoaning our situation when a sign proclaiming 110,000 FCA Brazzaville-Brussels caught our eye. 165 euros for a flight to Europe? Impossible we thought. Further investigation revealed that the airline, Hewa Bora, was owned by President Kabila's family and this special round trip flight at a rock bottom price was being offered to the people of Brazzaville as a gesture of goodwill. We snapped at the chance and 48 hours later were on a plane headed home.
Three weeks of visiting family and friends, gorging ourselves on pizza, pasta, chocolate and croissants and getting the bikes back in shape. We got up late, lounged on the couch, marveled at the selection of food available in the supermarkets and generally enjoyed ourselves. All this plus squeezing in 1,200 kilometers of cycling between Belgium, Germany and France. Surprisingly, the riding wasn't as easy as we had anticipated. We were faced with a bewildering number of choices of roads on the old continent and, with the advent of the GPS, locals are often at a loss when asked for directions. After getting lost for the 12th time in two days, Eric finally broke down and shelled out 6.50 euros for a map! On our return trip to Brussels we arranged lodging through Hospitality Club and Warm Showers. We were warmly welcomed by all our hosts and found this to be a terrific opportunity to get to know people from all walks of life and sample some delicious home cooking.
Our streak of good luck came to an abrupt end in Kinshasa (DR Congo) when our bikes and baggage failed to turn up at the airport. The place was complete chaos with passengers jostling each other as they vied for a place around the luggage conveyor belt, porters tugging at bags hoping for work, policeman keeping back the crowds of itinerant vendors with the help of menacing sticks and absolutely everyone shouting at the top of their lungs. Talk about sensory overload.
Several days were spent in this mega city of more than 5 million trying to sort out the mystery of the disappearing luggage. Thankfully an efficient Belgian gentleman by the name of Monsieur Lesergent took charge of the matter and we headed on to Goma near the Rwandan border where we were overjoyed to be reunited with our bikes two days later. Goma is something of a latter-day Pompeii, having been smothered in molten after the eruption of nearby Nyiaragongo volcano in 2002. The streets are still littered with lava rocks and many entrances to buildings in the center of town now stand two meters under street level after having been dug out from the flow. Natural disaster coupled with the civil war has left the town battered and it was a dreary place to spend a few days. The high point of our stay was the Salt and Pepper Indian Restaurant just across from the barracks of the Indian contingent of UN peace keepers...spicy curries beat bland manioc any day.
One final hurdle awaited us before being able to bid a final farewell to the Congos. While American citizens are admitted to Rwanda with a simple stamp in the passport at the border, the government in Kigali has broken diplomatic ties with France and now requires their citizens to apply for entry in advance, either in their home country or via internet. We weren't privy to this information and it came as a surprise to us when Eric was initially turned back at the border. Would we never escape from the claws of the Congo? A little wangling and some charm did the trick and he was eventually allowed entry.
We write to you from Gisenyi, Rwanda, a pleasant lakeside town with wide tree-lined streets, tidy well-stocked shops, inviting restaurants and fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. There's an optimistic feel about the place and we're eager to get back on the bikes and do some exploration of the land of a thousand hills.

Karlsson turned down trade to Canadian team?
You won't believe this!
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the Erik Karlsson sweepstakes came to an end on Thursday after the Ottawa Senators completed a blockbuster trade for the all-star blue liner.
The San Jose Sharks indeed traded for Karlsson , along with Francis Perron. In return, the Senators receive forward Chris Tierney, defenseman Dylan DeMelo, prospects Josh Norris and Rudolfs Balcers, a 2020 first-round pick, a 2019 second-round pick, and two conditional picks.
You knew that. However, it has been revealed on Friday that Karlsson turned down a trade to a Canadian team in the process. When the Vancouver Canucks were rumoured to be interested in landing the Sens captain, Karlsson had to explained his view on playing for a Canadian team.
After some reporters mentioned that he was not looking to sign with a Canadian club, Karlsson reached out to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman to clarify that it is not accurate that he is unwilling to sign long-term with a Canadian team.
However, it was accurate when it came to the Edmonton Oilers… The Athletic's Daniel Nugent-Bowman has now reported how Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli reacted to the Karlsson traded to San Jose and revealed that there was no way he could have landed him.
"I won't lie. When he came to our division, there was an expletive coming out of my mouth. He'd be nice to have here, but we weren't on his list. It was a non-starter."
It would have been quite the procedure to take on Karlsson and his eventual monster deal, as Cap Friendly indicates that the Oilers have around $3.9 million in projected salary-cap space for 2018-19 with restricted free agent defenseman Darnell Nurse to re-sign. While Edmonton will have some cap flexibility when sidelined blueliner Andrej Sekera gets placed on long-term injured reserve at the start of the season, it would have just been ridiculous for them to get in line for Karlsson.
With over $62 million invested in 13 players for 2019-20, the Oilers would have had the cap room to pay Karlsson over $11 million annually but it wouldn't have leaf enough space to do any changes or addition to the rest of the roster.
Karlsson had spent his entire career with the Senators since being drafted in the first round by the organization in 2008, 15th overall. The Sharks offer him a new start, after a very difficult year for Karlsson and his wife Melinda. And we guess a start in America might be what the doctor ordered…
Now… let's wait and see if he signs long-term in San Jose or if he decides to move back to Canada.

In 2021 you released your EP ''Sound's Of Hell''. What was the feedback from your audience as well as from the press?
The comments were positive since the sound we have is aggressive, but more than aggressive it is distinguished by his voice, many people commented on the voice, that we had something similar to Warfare. And well, to this day, after having released that work and having comments like that, we are still on our feet releasing music, with a lot of dedication.
I don't understand the third question, sorry 😅
Personally, the sound that I like the most is that of vinyl, the sound is more common, it is more enveloping, apart from having a vinyl in your hand is the best thing you can have in your life, it is like having a Playstation, is something unique and of great value.
Your music style is Speed Metal. Which are your main influences (Favourite Artists / Bands etc.)
The main influence in the band is Motorhead, everything comes from there, the name of violence may be somewhat monotonous, but from the band that I mention, everything comes out, violence comes out of the way in which Lemmy played the bass, that drunken, violent and dirty way like he did Rock and Roll, that's why the band decided to call itself Violence. But aside from Motorhead, which is our main influence, there is Sabbath, The Ramones, Venom, Omega, Gehenna, Inepsy, Chuck Berry, etc.
Which things do you think a Band should sacrifice in order to succeed? Have you ever sacrificed anything in your life for a better future for your Band?
Well, I think that there are sacrifices in everything in life, everything, but well, the metal here In Colombia it is difficult to be successful in this, since there is little support from sponsors, it is complex to move to be heard, yes? So I think that the sacrifice is already for pleasure. The pleasure of being able to take your music forward and do your best so that it reaches all corners of the world, that's what I think about "Sacrificio" fight with everything that comes to give to listen to the music, what one composes. I really think that's the real sacrifice, getting to old making music.
Our live show is something simple, we don't have anything special, we just go on stage to do what we like, which is Rock and Roll. We are a band in which we feel that we do not have the need to set up a stage with extravagant things, since with the music we make, we show everything that we are and what we will be. Our music is madness, drunkenness and we always make that clear on stage.
Which attributes, do you think, that a new Speed Metal Band should have in order to gain identity and be unique?
I believe that the best thing about a band (whatever the genre of music they play) has to be oneself, not show something that they are not, I think that the essence of music is that everyone shows themselves. Show it as it is, without any exaggeration, metal is something unique and the identity is put by the person or the musicians, if you want to play heavy metal with bullet and leather belts, ok, do it!
Do you believe that Digital Platforms help the new Speed Metal Bands? Which, do you think, is the ideal way for a Band to promote its work?
Yes!! Platforms are the best they have been able to get to promote music, previously you had to find among friends the way to bring an album to be able to listen to it, and when you had the Money, but now with this way you can quickly listen to any style of music, any artist and it promotes you a lot and you make yourself heard, I think it's very good. Although the truth is, we don't use it much haha, we're still on standby with the music platforms, but we're already working on it and well, I think that the best way to move a band is to use those resources that they give us now, which is the fan page, YouTube, Instagram, everything works now, everything is a tool to move music. The band that does not use this mentioned is not in anything, since listening to metal is within reach of a finger, so the best thing that can be used to move your band is the internet.
Well... in Colombia every day a band is born, here there are many, many bands and very good ones, here we are very dedicated to making metal, I can't say which or which band is better because Colombia has a lot Talent for making music, here we are very addicted to buying and listening to bands, local and national bands. We always try to support the events, because here every weekend is a concert of nearby bands, bands of friends. So if you come to Colombia, you are going to run into a metal mine, metal of all tastes, here it is a music production day by day and it is very good, there are times that you no longer know what to listen to so much Band that's around here haha, it's really good seriously...in this case bands from here in Bogotá I can recommend Bloody Nightmare, Punisher, Ekinoxio, Tumulario, Kaoz, Witches Sacrifice, Posseto, Satanik Gang, Adrenaline, Cobra, Iron Clad, Hellroar among others, is that there are really a lot of bands here and they are very good, very good at what they do, the truth is that here in Colombia, metal is very good.
The truth is I know very little (I'm honest) the truth is I don't know what the Greek metal movement is like, but... but if I listen to bands from there and I think that the metal they do, the music that develops there is very Good, they are very good at speed, they are a mass of crazy people making raw music, and from that, there are bands that are influences of us.
The plan for the future is to record the album (we're already working on it) and as I told you before, the question is to continue making music as long as life allows me, I can't say exactly that the band It's going to do one thing and the other, why not, I mean, things are done as you compose your music, so we wait to release the album and wait for what life brings us. that's all I think that's all I can tell you about violence, in any case, thank you very much for your time and for taking an interest in what we do. Really, thank you very much and I hope that we will be in contact for future release events such as our long-running album.

Interview with DIAMOND CHAZER


Held in the Bulli Showground Restaurant from 6.30pm on the Thursday of the Illawarra Folk Festival, you won't want to miss this one! Music starts at 8pm.
"Tripe Eaters of the world unite.
Fight the good tripe eater's fight.
Don't be treated like a criminal in your own home just because you have a penchant for bovine interiors. Now is the time to 'come out'; declare yourself and join your fellows of the same persuasion. Be united in tripe and say 'Damn' to the rest of the world.
The Illawarra Folk Festival is the only festival in the world that kicks off with a fully fledged tripe eating dinner.
If you have the guts for it, Thursday night at the Restaurant at the Bulli Showgrounds is for you.
It is of course the South Coast Tripe Eaters Associations annual dinner. The delectable interior of the bovine will be on offer in two varieties; the boring old traditional white tripe and onions with the accompaniment of mashed potatoes and gourmet multicultural version to be revealed.
The meal is three courses with a traditional soup and dessert as well as coffee and tea. Coopers Pale Ale, fine wines and Cider is on tap at the nearby festival bar. For people who don't eat tripe but like to hang around with people that do, then we will put on a very ordinary main course, called grey sludge so that you can enjoy the entertainment afterwards.
The entertainment will be provided by some of the world's great tripe eaters. There will be many more as performers who are at the Festival clamour to get a spot in this prestigious event.
Russell Hannah, one of the world's great authorities on tripe eating, will as usual host the dinner. Russell has a black belt in tripe eating having amazed the audience by downing twelve helpings at the recent World Tripe Eating Championship in Sierra Leone.

RTI Lands Second Contract for Boeing 787 Dreamliner
By Cynthia Vinarsky
NILES, Ohio -- RTI international Metals, parent of RMI Titanium in Niles, has landed its second major contract to supply titanium parts and services for a Tier-1 partner in Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner aircraft program.
The company today announced a new multi-year agreement with Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. of Japan to supply extruded and fully-machined value-added structural titanium components and services. Fuji will use the RTI parts to produce wing sections for Boeing's three mid-sized 787 passenger jet models.
RTI said the agreement with Fuji, best known as the Japanese manufacturer of the Subaru automobile, is expected to generate $70 million in revenue over its term. Several RTI facilities, including RMI, will play a part in producing the finished titanium components to be used in wing sections of the new 787 Dreamliner.
Announcement of the Fuji deal comes less than a month after RTI's Fabrication & Distribution Group revealed its $50 million, multi-year aircraft component contract with Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., also in Japan.
Under that agreement, reached in mid-March, RTI will supply 18 different extruded and machined structural titanium parts Kawasaki, also a Tier-1 partner in Boeing's 787 Dreamliner program.
"This is our second major contract in the 787 program and illustrates our ability to support a global supply chain with our value-added products," said Michael C. Wellham, an RTI senior vice president. "We are very pleased to be selected by FHI for this program and look forward to a long-term partnership with FHI in support of the 787 program."
RTI has been working for the past five years to become a supplier of finished components, and the company said officials see the Fuji pact as "another step forward in RTI's strategy to supply higher value-added products and services."
The company's stock, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RTI, was selling in the $55 dollar range after news of the Fuji agreement was released this morning. The stock price over the past 52 weeks has ranged from a low of $19.50 last April to a high last week of $56.22.
According to the Boeing's 787 Web site, the company is still completing the design phase of the 787 Dreamliner. Production is set to begin late this year, the first flight is planned for 2007 and deliveries will start in 2008.
Boeing's news releases on the 787 say the aircraft will be more fuel efficient than previous models and will include improved passenger amenities. The Dreamliner is the first commercial jet ever with a primary structure composed of advanced composite materials, Boeing reports, including wings that combine titanium and graphite.

Bernama.com Business July 03, 2006 09:52 AM Major Assembly Of First Boeing 787 Dreamliner Starts http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/images/friend.gif http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/images/print.gif
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Boeing and its partner Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) last Friday celebrate the start of major assembly for the first 787 Dreamliner. FHI began to assemble the center wing section at its new factory in Handa, Japan, near Nagoya.
"When I look at this piece of structure coming together I know that we are seeing the future of our industry," said Mike Bair, vice president and general manager of the 787 program for Boeing. "We have introduced new materials, new processes, new tools and a new way of working together that is ushering in a new era in commercial aviation."
When it is completed, it will be flown from Japan to Charleston, S.C., where Global Aeronautica will integrate it with other 787 structures before sending it on to Everett, Wash.
Norihisa Matsuo, corporate executive vice president and president of FHI's Aerospace Company, said, "FHI has received extraordinary support from Boeing and other global partners. The start of major assembly is really the result of the effort of the entire team. We are very proud of achieving major assembly start of 787 programs as a milestone as scheduled today."
Scott Strode, vice president of Airplane Development and Production on the 787 program, said, "We at Boeing are so proud to share this day with FHI - a longtime, valuable partner. You understand our vision and share our commitment to excellence."
Scheduled for delivery beginning in 2008, the Dreamliner provides passengers with a better flying experience and operators with a more efficient commercial jetliner.
Because it uses 20 percent less fuel per passenger than similarly sized airplanes, the 787 is designed for the environment with lower emissions and quieter takeoffs and landings.
Inside the airplane, passengers will find cleaner air, bigger windows, more stowage space and improved lighting.
To date, 28 airlines have logged 403 orders and commitments worth more than $55 billion at current list prices since the 787 launch in April 2004, making the Dreamliner the most successful commercial airplane launch in history.


You know the drawer in the bottom of your oven? The one with all of your baking sheets? It turns out that this particular drawer isn't meant for storage, but for keeping hot food hot while you wrap up cooking dinner.
The warming drawer is designed to keep hot foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Cold or room-temperature foods cannot be heated, warmed, or cooked in the warming drawer. Bacteria will grow very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit [4C and 60C].
Of course, no one is saying you can't keep storing pans in there, but it's nice to know you have a warming drawer at your disposal.
Keep in mind that this doesn't apply to all ovens, so be sure to check your manual to be sure, or Google the model number to find the manual online and check.

Donald Trump, Rep. Ted Deutch in rare agreement on UN Israel resolution
December 22, 2016 2016 campaigns, Donald Trump, George Bennett, Ted Deutch.
U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, and President-elect Donald Trump find common ground opposing a UN resolution on Israeli settlements.
PALM BEACH — President-elect Donald Trump and liberal Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, don't agree on much.
Deutch gave a speech for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in July and last month said Trump's far-flung international business holdings create "potential massive conflicts of interest."
But part-time Palm Beacher Trump and Deutch both released statements today calling for the U.S. to use its veto power in the United Nations Security Council to nix a resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The U.S. has traditionally vetoed such measures, but President Barack Obama's position on the current measure was in doubt before the UN postponed consideration of the resolution today.
Before the postponement, Trump said: "The resolution being considered at the United Nations Security Council regarding Israel should be vetoed. As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations. This puts Israel in a very poor negotiating position and is extremely unfair to all Israelis."
Said Deutch: "Once again, I urge the Administration to veto this one-sided resolution that will do nothing to further peace efforts. As 393 of my colleagues and I stated unambiguously in a letter to President Obama in April, the UN Security Council is not the venue for advancing conditions for peace. Achieving a lasting and permanent solution with two states for two peoples will only come through direct, bilateral negotiations between the parties."

India's largest telco plans to roll out 5G in 2021
A very optimistic timeline
Shivam Vahia
India's largest telecom carrier Jio said it plans to roll out 5G in India by the second half of 2021. The announcement is significant because India is yet to deploy 5G on a commercial scale. All intended plans for a timely introduction stood delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Jio is backed by Reliance Industries, one of the largest conglomerates in India. Chairman Mukesh Ambani was a keynote speaker at India Mobile Congress (IMC) and confirmed that Jio intends to launch 5G services with indigenously developed technology.
The telco has also closely worked with Samsung and Qualcomm to deploy the next generation of mobile communication. Jio has also acknowledged that it'll start 5G trials as soon as spectrum allotment is complete by the government. However, it's worth noting that Jio's plans are overly ambitious, and there could be delays because the government is yet to set up a spectrum auction.
Competitor Airtel is confident that it'll take anywhere between two to three years for the market to mature for 5G services. The government is expected to organize spectrum sales in January-March of 2021, following which the allocation, testing, and rollout phases shall begin.
Ambitious but not surprising
Considering Jio's history, it isn't surprising that the company intends to be the first to launch 5G in India. The telco made a debut in 2016 with pan India 4G coverage and completely ditched legacy standards like 2G and 3G to reduce operational costs. This, in turn, gave it a massive edge in terms of pricing, and it went from nada to number one in no time.
Upgrading the infrastructure to 5G is an expensive endeavor, and Jio's also well equipped with more than sufficient funds. During the March to May period, it raised a mind-boggling US$ 20 billion from marquee investors like Google, Facebook, Qualcomm, Mubadala (sovereign fund of Abu Dhabi), Vista Equity, and more.

Challenging the Mi Band 5
OnePlus has finally made a debut in the wearable segment, and while the OnePlus Watch has leaked in the past, the first device is actually the OnePlus Band. Focusing on fitness, the band aims to deliver a feature-packed experience at an affordable price.
The band works with Android out-of-the-box, and iOS support is expected to come soon. On the front is a 1.1-inch AMOLED display that'll help you navigate the interface. An array of sensors includes a blood oxygen sensor, a three-axis accelerometer and gyroscope, and an optical heart-rate sensor.
The OnePlus Band gets many watch faces and personalization options through the OnePlus Health app. Coming to fitness, it has 13 pre-installed modes that include outdoor run, indoor run, fat burn run, outdoor walk, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, elliptical trainer, rowing machine, cricket, badminton, pool swimming, yoga, and free training.
It's certified for 5ATM and IP68 water resistance, and it has Bluetooth 5.0 support for seamless connections. Other nifty features include displaying notifications, as well as music playback and camera shutter controls.
The OnePlus Band packs a 100mAh battery that is touted to deliver up to 14 days of usage on a single charge. It's priced at INR 2,499 (US$ 34), and sales are limited to the Indian market for now. Color options include Black, Navy, and Tangerine Gray.
FAU-G stands for Fearless and United Guard
PUBG Mobile has been a global sensation, and players love it. But it's not available in the world's second-largest smartphone market right now. India banned the game last year, and local developers are rushing to fill the gap. One of them is nCore Games, and it plans to launch an alternative called FAU-G soon.
FAU-G stands for Fearless and United Guard, but the term fauji means soldier in Hindi, one of India's official languages. Making things more interesting, the game is endorsed by one of India's most popular actors — Akshay Kumar. There is an immense demand for the game due to the PUBG Mobile vacuum, anti-China sentiments, and increasing nationalist attitude that prefers indigenous products over others.
The game was supposed to launch in October 2019 but was indefinitely delayed. Thankfully, nCore Games has announced it'll be releasing the game on January 26, the day India celebrates its seventy-fourth Republic Day.
Earlier in December 2020, the registrations for the game went live as well. FAU-G created a record with over one million pre-registrations in just 24 hours. All we know so far is, it'll be a first-person shooter game, and since it's supposed to bridge the PUBG Mobile gap, a battle royale mode is quite obvious.
What will you do when they come? We will hold our ground & fight back, because we are Fearless. United. Unstoppable FAU:G! Witness the anthem 🦁 FAU:G! #FAUG #nCore_Games
Pre-register now https://t.co/4TXd1F7g7J
Launch 🎮 26/1@vishalgondal @akshaykumar @dayanidhimg pic.twitter.com/VGpBZ3HaOS
— nCORE Games (@nCore_games) January 3, 2021
So far, the developer has only released a few marketing pictures of the game, followed by a teaser. Intricate details of the game are still unknown, but the game's description on the Play Store says, "it brings to life the thrill and adrenaline of a life spent guarding India's borders."
However, it's a herculean task to build a massive game like PUBG Mobile within such a short period of time. FAU-G will have a minimal time frame to quash bugs and attain a clean experience because it'll always be compared to seasoned competitors like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fornite, and Mobile Legends.
Adding to this, PUBG Corporation has severed ties with Tencent to dodge anti-China sanctions and plans to launch a modified game similar to PUBG Mobile, specially designed for the Indian market. It's a race against time right now, and the first one to debut has an edge. But that edge won't last forever.
The price is quite unbelievable
Kicking off 2021 with its first phone launch, Xiaomi launched the Mi 10i in India today. The brand has extensively expanded the Mi 10 series, and while the Mi 10T Pro looks after the flagship segment, the Mi 10i is designed for the midrange segment.
Unlike the Mi 10T series, the new Mi 10i has a fresh design that consists of a circular rear camera module. The front and the back get Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and it also gets an IP53 rating for water and dust resistance.
On the front is a 6.7-inch display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The user can change the refresh rate, and six preset options are available. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 750 processor with 6GB 0r 8GB RAM. For expandable storage, a microSD card slot is also provided.
The rear sports a quad-camera setup that includes a 108-megapixel primary Samsung HM2 sensor, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

Q: How do I destroy tanks in Crysis? We just saved this Asian scientist chick and now I 'have to take out the tank'. I have no idea how to do this.
Please help.

A: You need a missile launcher. There should be a launcher in some room on the 1st floor, and I also think there's one on the roof. I'm pretty sure there are additional launchers lying around, maybe in other buildings.
Be aware a tank takes 3 missile hits to kill. Just shoot and run away until it's down - don't remain stationary while shooting all 3. The tanks should appear in your minimap.

A: You can destoy a tank with a single missile by shooting the turret.

A: The front of the tanks are it's strongest part. Whenever you can, try to shoot at the rear/behind the tank

Normally, when a new artist comes out, they seek validation by trying to get every hot rapper to hop on their record. Tee Grizzley is one of the hottest new rappers on the scene right now and he isn't looking for a hand out, a co-sign or a big name feature to help sell his projects; he's all good on his own.
The "First Day Out" rapper recently revealed that, at this point in his career, he's willing to go it alone when it comes putting out full projects, foregoing any features that might come his way. "I'm never going to make an album that has [featured artists]," he told Billboard. "I am going to make singles with other artists and put those out there—I'd love to work with Bruno Mars, Drake, Kendrick Lamar. But when somebody buys a Tee Grizzley album, all they're going to hear is Tee Grizzley."
The Detroit MC's name has been ringing bells since his release from prison late last year and the release of the track "First Day Out" shortly afterward. He inked a deal with 300 Entertainment in January and has been making waves on the rap scene since. As he mentioned, the up-and-coming MC is not adverse to collaborating, having dropped the joint cut with Lil Yachty "From the D to the A," but when it comes to his own projects, don't expect to see any other names on the tracklist.
After putting out his debut mixtape My Moment in April, he is currently prepping the release of his album Activated. As of this week, "First Day Out" is sitting pretty at No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

ANNOUNCING THE LAST FALL'15 BUILD OF ZET UNIVERSE
Today we are releasing Zet Universe Preview Build 5813.5130 to Zet Universe Insiders. Like the last few ones, this build is really focused on bug fixes and general improvements; at the same time we've made one colossal change to the product that we feel being really proud of, and we can't wait to share this change with you. What is that change? Oh, we've changed the entire way of... Wait. First things first.
If you are new to the Zet Universe Insider Program and haven't installed Zet Universe, yet, please visit the Set Up Your PC webpage to download the latest build's installer.
Otherwise, as usual, the newest build is available via the magic of Zet Universe Update system, powered by Squirrel for Windows. To get it, you can go to Settings --> Update, and click on "Check Now" button to get it now.
IMPORTANT: If you are running on a build before 5786.2836, and you haven't been getting updates for a while, the "Update Now" button might be unavailable to you. Don't worry - you can simply install Zet Universe again by downloading its installer from the Set Up Your PC webpage. This won't break anything, but will give you the latest release available. If, however, you are running a 5786.2836 build or later, you won't be affected by this issue.
Total download might range from a few hundred kilobytes up to 10MB, depending on the number of updates you've applied already to your copy of the Zet Universe Insider Preview.
Once the build is downloaded, Zet Universe will begin the installation. Once it will finish, it will ask you to restart the app.
WHAT'S CHANGED?
As you might recall from our previous blog post, by making it possible to import large folders, we've brought a few new bugs. One of them was this:
Zet Universe will be unresponsive after importing a large number of items (think a folder with 500+ files).
We are aware of this issue, and we are actively working on fixing this issue.
So, as we said above, what's changed is a big thing. BIG thing. No, really. It's THAT BIG!
While working on this bug, we've learned that we should change the way how Zet Universe treats changes to your data.
And by doing that, we've also significantly improved UI responsiveness during heavy data processing.
Wait, what? Why did this bug's fix require such a fundamental change?
Ok, calm down. Let me give you an example.
Imagine you are working on a project with your colleagues. You have set up a shared Dropbox folder, and you keep work documents inside it. Now, you've imported this folder into Zet Universe, so that you could track changes to your documents in it, in a visual way. So far so good. Next time someone will edit your file, Zet Universe will mark it as unread, and mark this time as the Last Modified time. Sounds good, right?
Well, almost. But there's a catch. Once you will open this file, or simply move it in the space, or once Zet Universe extracts full-text data from this file, Zet Universe will mark this file as updated, again. But this time, file will remain the same! Why is then it's marked as updated?
Technically speaking, the reason is simple.
Every time you ask Zet Universe to track your project folders, it creates a metadata (data-about-data) entity for each of your files, and when you move the file in the project space, or do any kind of change to your file, its corresponding entity is changed, and this time of change is used as the Last Modified Time.
This is extremely helpful as it makes it possible for Zet Universe to track a history of all operations applied to these entities, but it's, actually, an internal information that you might not really need to know about in the first place.
What's more, Zet Universe is doing a lot of data processing in the background (extracting thumbnails, full-text, adding it to the full-text index, extracting keyphrases, etc.), and prior to this build, we've been updating the last modified value for each entity each time any of these operations happened. As the modern computer is pretty capable of fast data processing, Zet Universe's Navigation Pane had to re-sort all entities after each change, which led to UI lags at best, and fatal crashes in the worst cases.
Obviously, your files shall be marked as updated under certain conditions. Think when you edited a file, or one of your colleagues did, or if the file was renamed. But all other operations (moving in the space, adding to or removing from visual clusters, indexing, etc.) are not, strictly speaking, about your file. They are about what is being done with its metadata, not the file itself.
And so, starting with this build, we mark your files as created OR modified only if:
File created
File contents changed
File renamed
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU?
Zet Universe will now remain responsive after importing large folders. Yes! This might sound strange, but by using really important and relevant date values, we've been able to significantly improve our product's responsiveness during heavy data processing (full-text indexing, keyphrase extraction, etc.).
"Created this item" will now show the time the file was created. This also means that if file was copied from another destination, Zet Universe will compare it's LastModified and Created dates, and pick the older one as "Created" date.
"Created this item" will now show the time the file was created.
Items will be now grouped by their real last modified values in the Navigation Pane. Consider this: an old project space that wasn't touched for a year. Once we've imported it into Zet Universe, all its files have been indexed, but it's clear that items haven't changed since that year ago mark (August 4, 2014).
Real Created and Last Modified values are used to sort and group items in the Navigation Pane.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER BUG FIXES?
Well, we've made a lot of small bug fixes. Most of these fixes are related to better handling of situations where Exceptions were caught by the system. Here's a list of a few of such cases:
Zet Universe will now better index PDF files. We are using SyncFusion Essential Studio (for startups) for PDF thumbnail extraction (so that we could avoid using Adobe Reader APIs for that); however, there was a confirmed bug in the version of the dll we packed with Zet Universe. Starting today, we've moved to the latest version of SyncFusion Essential Studio which includes the bug fix for PDF thumbnail extraction.
Zet Universe no longer updates contacts in Dropbox each time it requests Dropbox web site for those who edited the given file. Prior to this build, Zet Universe issued checks for updated contact data after checking for each file, and in case you've imported a large chunk of files, Zet Universe would waste a lot of time (and place in the log) for checking contacts for updates.
Zet Universe no longer tries to write its log to the Windows Event Log. Initially, we expected you to install Zet Universe with admin rights. However, as we've moved to Squirrel for Windows, and it's amazing update experience, we've found out we have no good reason to require admin rights except for creating own Windows Event Log. Given that we write log to %appdata%\Zet\Logs\ anyways, it's not necessary to use Windows Event Log. Before this build, we had to make the check for the Windows Event Log, and handle an exception in case the Log is inaccessible.
Sticky Notes account is now accessible via Settings --> Accounts. Indeed, this is a really small thing, but we've managed to ship several builds of Zet Universe w/o any way to see Sticky Notes account. That's sad, there's nothing there to edit (for now), but for the sake of consistency, we've added it to the list.
Sticky Notes Account available in Settings --> Accounts
System.UnauthorizedAccessException should no longer happen, and lead to a fatal crash of Zet Universe when trying to open Local Folders pane to start tracking a folder. This was a rather sad case, when Zet Universe tried to enumerate all folders, and then obtain their metadata, which for inaccessible folders was impossible to do, and led to a fatal crash. We've fixed that.
Ok, so, this time we've not only fixed at least one of the bugs we've introduced last time, but we've almost made a very important change to the entire user experience of Zet Universe.
We hope... No, we pray that you'll just love these changes! Because we're positively in love with this change!
And now, we are very thankful to you, our Insiders: without your feedback (hey, guys, you've given us almost 700 pieces of feedback, directly or indirectly; this is more than we've logged in our issue tracking before the Insider Preview Launch this July!), it would be impossible for us to make Zet Universe better for you.
Now, enough of this mutual admiration society. As we continue working on the SDK and new features, we encourage you to update to this build as soon as possible, as well as check out our updated product plan (check out the "What's Next?" section), and let us know what you want via the Feedback Forum, and use the Facebook group to connect with other Insiders for help and tips on problems you hit.
Thanks for your continued support!!!
Daniel and the team

Mosinee suspect was drunk and fled crash, troopers say
by Dan McCormick | Apr 11, 2012 | Automobile Accident | 0 comments
Authorities say a Mosinee man, involved in a two car motor vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 41 in Appleton, tried to escape responsibility for the crash by fleeing.
Wisconsin State Patrol thinks the driver who caused the accident, later tracked to a nearby gas station and arrested by troopers, was fearful and drunk when he left the crash scene.
State troopers received a call from the Outagamie County Sheriff's Department about a driver headed the wrong way on U.S. 41. The inter-agency call for help occurred around 10:30 p.m., too late for troopers to respond effectively. Four minutes after the communication, the wrong-way driver had a near fatal car accident in the northbound lanes of Highway 41 near College Avenue.
Troopers say the drunk driver, a 33-year-old Mosinee man, smashed head-on into a vehicle occupied by two people. The driver of the northbound car, a 32-year-old Appleton man, and his male passenger, a 31-year-old Oshkosh resident, were injured. The wrong-way driver suffered minor injuries but left the accident scene. Reports did not indicate whether the driver sped away in the damaged vehicle or fled on foot from the straight-on accident.
Emergency medical personnel transported the accident victims from the northbound vehicle to Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah. The Oshkosh passenger suffered the most severe injuries and was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Milwaukee. Responders reported that the driver of the struck car had injuries that were not life-threatening. The victim's medical condition was not stated.
Details about the arrest of the Mosinee suspect were unclear in published reports. No report of an on-site alcohol breathalyzer test or police observations at the time of the arrest were published.
Police arrested the suspect on suspicion of drunk driving and causing great bodily harm. Charges against the wrong way driver were not formalized at the time of the initial police and media report.

Nicolas was born and raised in the Midwest (Ohio). His medical experience started as a child of a Type 1 diabetic father. Early in life, Nicolas learned how to dose insulin, take blood pressure, and give his father insulin injections. This was the precursor that later lead him into the medical field. He graduated from Wright State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in June of 2005. He went on to finish his medical education here in the Valley at ATSU and graduated in 2010. He began his professional experience in underserved areas, specializing in Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care services. After years of practicing 'traditional' medicine, he became frustrated with the mentality of fixing medical problems with pills and bandaids instead of treating the underlying cause. His love and skill at procedures, (self proclaimed best trigger point therapist in the valley) was the prime motivation for him to move into integrative medicine.


What is ... an independent transversal?
This page hosts information on Lothar Narin's talk "What is ... an independent transversal?" at the "What is ...?" seminar. The talk will take place on Friday, January 20, 1:00pm at the BMS Loft at Urania. This talk will help you better understand the talk by Penny Haxell, which will start at 2pm.
In this talk I introduce independent transversals and give a combinatorial proof of their existence for certain classes of graphs.


When upon some slight encouragement I first visited your Lordship I was overpowered like the rest of Mankind by the enchantment of your address, and could not forbear to wish that I might boast myself Le Vainqueur du Vainqueur de la Terre, that I might obtain that regard for which I saw the world contending, but I found my attendance so little incouraged, that neither pride nor modesty would suffer me to continue it. When I had once addressed your Lordship in public, I had exhausted all the Art of pleasing which a retired and uncourtly Scholar can possess. I had done all that I could, and no Man is well pleased to have his all neglected, be it ever so little.
The Shepherd in Virgil grew at last acquainted with Love, and found him a Native of the Rocks. Is not a Patron, My Lord, one who looks with unconcern on a Man struggling for Life in the water and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help. The notice which you have been pleased to take of my Labours, had it been early, had been kind; but it has been delayed till I am indifferent and cannot enjoy it, till I am solitary and cannot impart it, till I am known, and do not want it.
I hope it is no very cynical asperity not to confess obligation where no benefit has been received, or to be unwilling that the Public should consider me as owing that to a Patron, which Providence has enabled me to do for myself.

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine should not be used on pregnant women: WHO
Cumming & going on tv, stage
By Eric Hegedus
Alan Cumming will perform at Feinstein's starting Tuesday. Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage.co
Once again, life is about to be a cabaret for Alan Cumming. The Tony-winning actor, who broke into Broadway with the 1998 production of "Cabaret," will be performing an autobiographical show at Feinstein's for five nights beginning Tuesday.
It's been a bumper year for Cumming, who was recently upgraded to a series regular on CBS's "The Good Wife." Not to mention his voice-over work, activism for bisexual causes and support of kilt-wearing.
The Post caught up with him in a rare spare moment.
Given your Broadway success, a cabaret act seems like a natural. What took so long?
I've always sung within a role before. If you asked me a year and a half ago to stand up and sing a song, I would be having panic attacks. It's great to be really scared of something, and then just do it.
So you're still scared of singing like this?
In a funny sort of way, it's inevitable and probably quite necessary. Especially this Tuesday — it's the first time I've ever played at Feinstein's — kind of a different crowd for me, I think. I'm right to be nervous, you know?
What should we expect?
It's not just me singing beautiful songs and sounding nice — it's my whole sensibility. I'm going to hopefully provoke people politically and tell them funny stories about how I look at the world as a Scot living in America.
What happened to playing the Green Goblin in Broadway's "Spider-Man?"
The "Spider-Man" people couldn't seem to work out that I'd be able to do both [the show and "The Good Wife."] So I was, "All right. Life goes on."
You also started the Web site itsasickness.com, where people talk about their obsessions.
People don't have hobbies anymore — they have obsessions. They're sick about things! It's been fun to see how much people love that they can go somewhere where there's no judgment, and they can just geek out about the most random things.
