I don’t know what it is about Societies that is so attractive to me. Perhaps it is their secret nature, or just the fact that it gives elite Player Characters something to strive for. Not every character should be allowed to join a society, or a group because if we allow that to happen, then they become meaningless.
Some sub-classes really lend themselves to the idea . . . nay, require a little bit extra work on the Dungeon Master’s part to create them. Paladins, Rangers, Specialty Priests, all three of these require some sort of organization in order to be effective, especially Paladins! They are required to pay tithes to someone, as well as take orders from superiors. Rangers, while normally chaotic by nature, and loners, still require some kind of system incase an area becomes too much for one ranger to handle. While it isn’t as tight of a network as the Lawful Paladin, it is still a network all the same.
Specialty Priests, the most widely documented being the Druid, demand a military like infrastructure. But what other classes can benefit from a guild? We know that Thieves use them, Clerics also must follow orders of their superiors, even if this superior is a god whom only he can hear. Fighters, typically always honed their trade in the military or a militia which by nature is also strict. Wizards too, while very loose and secretive about what they do, also, no doubt, have some way of policing their own, as well as forming intelligent societies to further their own alignment beliefs.
You can see where I am going with this now, can’t you. I think alignment is key here, again, we’ll use it as a tool. This is too much work to do at one time, so we’ll just do it on a need-to-know basis when the existence of these societies and groups come into question.
All professional trades rely on guilds, being a carpenter required a youth to spend much time under a master who taught them the trade in exchange for the youth to do pain in the butt tasks which the carpenter shouldn’t be wasting his time doing. It is kind of funny to look at old books on carpentry, today this profession is wide open, but back in the day the trade was very secretive! Looking over antique books dedicated to carpentry is enough to baffle and stupefy any reader as they were written to be as complex and drawn out as possible. Applying complex mathematical formulas to the simplest projects, this was not a profession to be taken on by the laymen! This is serious stuff, which requires years and years of tutelage in the proper institutions!
This wasn’t done out of meanness, but in protecting ones value and industry. Now we are learning a huge lesson which goes with demystifying trades, as our jobs are slowly being replaced by robots or cheaper workers, but I digress, I’m getting too carried away and straying away from my original point.
Lets invent some! But before we do, we have to have some sort of direction. Our guilds have to have some sort of reason for being, and some structure. They have to have benefits for the members, and a goal or purpose.
REASON FOR BEING
Our game worlds are regulated by an important tool, this tool is called Alignment. NOW QUIT ROLLING YOUR EYES! It’s rude! Alignments aren’t just for rules lawyers, or things to ruin our players lives with, but honest to god tools to make the process of creation easier.
Take a book as an example, and I mean a really good one. One that you love. It has a plot, but if you are like me then you probably love the really complex ones which can’t be described in just a sentence or two. This book has a plot, but it is buried deep inside and hidden within the mechanics of the book. We don’t notice it, of course we know that it is there, but when we are reading the book, it isn’t important to us. The plot is a skeleton, and if we use alignment as a tool, like we are suppose to, then we’ll cover up the alignment just as tightly and neatly as a well written book covers its plot.
You’ve got 9 different Alignments, these alignments show us the relationships among them. Opposing alignments hate each other, Tight groups get along, and mixed groups can tolerate the other and perhaps work together if the need arises (or go through periods of hostility too). Chaotic Evil and Lawful Good will always fight amongst each other, that is the way it works, if this doesn’t happen then our worlds aren’t in balance, and while the real world doesn’t need to make sense, fiction does. This is a mechanic, and mechanics are there for a reason.
Since our mechanics aren’t meant to be obvious, we’ll cover them up with purpose. A good guild should have many goals, however they should also have a purpose that is as fixed as the rising and the setting of the sun. . . or at least appear to be.
A Chaotic Good Wizard’s Guild opposes all Evil, they aren’t as organized and probably meet only once per year . . . if that. To make it really mysterious, we’ll have the meeting be held only 1 time per decade during the Eclipse, this is a meeting which requires all of their energies to keep the forces of evil at bay. Perhaps they meet at a Stonehenge, which is in fact a gate to hell, and if they don’t show up on this date, and if they don’t direct their energies towards this goal, then the gate will be flung open and unleash hell on earth. Well, at least that is what they believe that they are doing, the fact is that nobody really remembers a time when they didn’t do this and a few of the members think that this may just be a waste of time. Evil and Good are just illusions, we of course know that this is a tool of the beasts wishing to be released.
There is also a lawful evil Cleric society, it’s goal is to release these monsters from the Stonehenge. They believe that they can direct the creatures, most of the time they can worship there, except when the CG Wizards guild shows up, they just aren’t strong enough to oppose them face to face. They get along with a Chaotic Evil wizard society, as well as the local Chaotic Neutral Guild of thieves. The master thieves think that both parties are crazy, but might is right, and even though they turn on the LE Clerisy by extorting as much money as they can from the union, the Clerics in charge continue to enjoy the spies, and thorns which the CN thieves constantly place in the CG Wizards guild.
Well, I could go on, but you get the picture of how the alignment tool works. It practically writes itself! Not all guilds will have such an important task, many will simply be there to police their own and to provide a reputable house of knowledge to folks who may require or depend upon it.
Now, honestly, we don’t need to create an enter Lawful Evil Cleric society to appose the CG Mages, all it would take is one evil Cleric who is the main tool of the devil buried under the rocks of Stonehenge. A Lawful Evil Cleric society would have a bigger goal then simply opening a pit to hell, that is just too easy. One man can do that! The main goal of a Lawful Evil Cleric Society would be to infiltrate a Good religion and corrupt it.
On the outside, they would appear to be Lawful and Just, but they manufacture fear. They keep their flock suspicious of each other, they engineer witch hunts, taking out high profile individuals under the guise that they have been corrupted. They would use good clerics to be their foot soldiers, they would get off on the idea! The ruse is undetectable unless the most inner circle is exposed, which is protected by secrecy and fear. Everyone thinks that the inner-circle is a myth, the fact that the church is controlled by evil is insane! They feed the poor and protect the populous from the ever present evil. It wouldn’t take much of the stretch of the imagination to see how powerful this cult could be. Corrupting the church of an entire nation, turning it against their King unless he cooperated with the Inner Circles goals, becoming just a pawn in their quest for greater wealth and power. Anyone who apposes them, their property is seized, their family bloodline discredited, their execution and torture imminent. Since they are lawful, they probably have an entire order of Paladins unknowingly perpetuating their evil plans.
Groups should have goals which are appropriate to their size and power. If one individual can do it on his own, then why have an entire society working to do it? Lawful orders will have more members then Chaotic ones, and will have bigger goals as well as the ability to realize much grander schemes. However, if a Chaotic Order is spread out far enough, this is when they can become dangerous! Chaotic Orders survive on the powers of truly awesome individuals. Great minds are normally associated with your Lawful alignments, however this isn’t always so, Chaotic philosophies embrace the power of independent thought and reward ambition.
Chaotic Evil Bandits are very popular enemies in D&D, most of these guys aren’t even thieves, just big buff bullies who simply take what they want and murder anyone who tries to stop them. Management is usually horrid, if not completely inconsistent. This is their weakness. Even when they do find some kind of direction, say from our LE Inner Circle, these people are simply used as fodder, they serve a purpose only as long as they are useful. The LE Clerics would use them to fake evil miracles and frame the innocent, however if they begin to feel that the CE Bandits are a liability because they know too much, then they will just as easily turn on them, murdering them all quietly in their sleep.
Chaotic Evil Orders require much more thought and planning then Lawful Evil ones do. Thankfully there is a recipe, CE respect only one thing, and that is violence and fear. In CE Orders, you will find highly specialized leaders, or generals. Each of them bring something unique to the table. They will have their own underlings, but they will keep them weaker then themselves. If they believe that anyone within their ranks has more potential then they do, they will seek to destroy that person before he turns on them and takes their position. Members of an order will be highly skilled at this.
Each general will probably be of a different class, so an order will have a further reach then the single classed lawful societies do. The generals will be given orders from a really mean and bad, bad dude! Someone who even a 20th level mage would be terrified of! He will be even better at making himself irreplaceable then they are, a seemingly impossible goal. A demigod in his own right, a mystery man whose name has to be a myth, but it is still whispered just in case.
CE Societies always begin as an infection. Perhaps a LE society invites them into their inner circle, a major mistake, because as soon as the time is right, the CE society will murder and kill the LE masterminds and take over the entire order, and once they have a foot solidly in the door, it will take a full scale war to remove them and most nations don’t have that kind of resources or the skill required to get the job done quickly. Just because a group is Chaotic, it doesn’t mean that they are stupid. Once they become organized in their own way, they are worse then LE. Nobody is happy under them.
An example is a state policed by Murder. The King is never seen, and folks like it that way, he’s been in power for centuries perhaps it is a family name, but there are rumors. Life in the area is harsh, and secretive. Superstitions are high, garlic hangs in every window, small shrines decorate the streets. Pay your taxes, or disappear! This is a military state, however it is worse then that. A secret militia composed of monsters! Few people are aware of this, and those that figure it out are never heard from again. The highest ranks are filled by were-creatures, through mysticism, suspicion, and spies, they secretly deal with individuals in the night. Humanoids are allowed in the city and treated as equals, the human population is kept in check as serfs, each having a job to do, extra money being paid to those who have information about their neighbors. Most religion is outlawed, only evil deities can be openly worshiped, and worship is required by law.
Apposing them is an even more secretive society, a Neutral Good order whose ranks even include humanoids who believe in the old ways, that their kind should return to the wilderness. Their goal is to find out the identities of the individuals who form the secret police force, and assassinate them. They are aware that the King is a monster, but as of yet, no way has been discovered to eliminate him directly. There numbers are much smaller then the Kings, and casualties on both sides are a daily occurrence. The Neutral Good order has had to become more flexible then normal, because of the stakes. They use underhanded tactics believing correctly that the only way to fight fire is with fire.
Man, I just realized that that sounds exactly like the Karagat in Ravenloft, which is cool as it is a magnificent idea! In the art of DMing, one has to know how to take old ideas and make them your own.
Neutral Evil groups are typically associated with thieves, but frankly, that is just too easy. Bram Stoker had struck gold with his classic “Dracula”, in it, the Chaotic Evil Count operated unopposed in his homeland, only being thwarted when he tried to expand his power to the West. His minions were many, but most memorable were the gypsies. Gypsies are a mixture of bard and thieves, but also contain fighters, clerics, and mages in their ranks. Gypsies are more of an alternative human race with mystical and mysterious qualities. Dracula had formed an alliance with them, in return for protecting his interests during the day, and doing his evil bidding, they were allowed to live the life they wanted to live unopposed. This relationship is common with NE groups. They will align themselves with a powerful individual and thrive! Dracula would never turn on them as a whole, he wouldn’t feed off of their people, they were protected and they knew it. A gypsy caravan travels from town to town, they don’t care if the people know they are evil or not, it doesn’t matter, if they do know it is all the easier to operate. They don’t settle down because they have an undying love for travel, they provide entertainment, rumors, potions, and trade, but at a cost, they steal, and swindle the population. They spread fear and do the bidding of their evil master. Harm one of them, and the entire tribe will take their pound of flesh not just from you, but from your loved ones as well, even your children’s children are fair game to them! Never cross a gypsy, this lesson has been learned long ago, they are quick to anger and a powerful enemy that will never forget the slightest misdeed.
The Break Downs
There you have some examples of different factions. Rarely should a PC be able to join one of these things, and then, only after 9th level, and it should always be treated as a big deal.
Some factions are open, while others are highly secretive, have fun with the alignments, treat them as the tools they are and not inflexible borders which always lead people to trouble and abandoning them entirely.

Zagreb, 14 October 2021 – AI2FUTURE conference in Kraš Auditorium for two days, 14 and 15.10, brings together the Croatian AI community of companies and startups that develop products, services and solutions based on artificial intelligence. The annual gathering of the community is also the annual conference of the CroAI association, which presented the research of the AI scene in Croatia, AI Landscape 2.0. The goal of the association is to position Croatia as the leading AI nation on the global map. Among the key topics discussed was the position of artificial intelligence as a key strategic development determinant and the need to adopt regulations for the national AI Sandbox. The program of the second day will deal with successful business-technological examples.
In the introductory lecture on the first day, Mislav Malenica, President of the CroAI Association, commented on the activities of the association whose goal is to gather the community, create AI projects and build a better future. pointed out that in the last year the number of members of the association has grown to 215 members. The association has carried out many activities; for example, more than 30,000 people in Croatia took Elements of AI, the world’s best online course in computer science. Together with Germany and France, the Croatian association also participated in the founding of the European AI Forum, an annual gathering of European entrepreneurs, academics and politicians. Marijana Šarolić Robić (CroAI) presented the latest initiative of the association – the establishment of Adria AI Think Thank, which will bring together experts from various industries and fields and through dialogue to detect key topics related to artificial intelligence and its use for society. Dejan Iličić, director of the Development Agency of the City of Lipik, presented the AI Center Lipik, which is funded by the European Union and is funded by the European Union. Lipik intends to become a center for the development of artificial intelligence in Croatia and to open an AI campus in the future. Daniel Avdagič (AV Living Lab) spoke about the activities of the Slovenian laboratory that connects numerous industries, advanced technologies, data, content and people into one ecosystem with physical and digital infrastructure for the development of revolutionary solutions for the future of mobility.
Tomislav Vračić (Microsoft) presented to the participants the concept of Data Driven Nation applied by the Baltic countries. The concept is based on three principles: data democracy and public accessibility, data should enable citizen engagement and data-based innovation. Latvia has made data available through the Latvian open data portal and turned it into the foundation of innovative solutions, which has attracted many investors. For example, in 2016, Microsoft, in collaboration with the University of Latvia, opened the Microsoft Innovation Center, and Roche invested in a big data pilot project on gene analysis. Estonia has also focused on innovation, and the Government’s initiative to make data publicly available has resulted in more than 2,500 eGovernment services for citizens. Milly Doolan (CroAI and Euronavigator) presented the contribution of CroAI AI to the act of the European Commission.
During the panel discussion, Jan Štedul (CroAI) moderated a conversation with Goran Dautović (Project 3 Mobility – Rimac), Martina Dragičević (A1), Bojan Jerbić (FSB), Mislav Malenica (CroAI) and Ivana Vukov (Advisor to the Prime Minister). ). They discussed how to create a national AI sandbox, a secure environment for the development and application of artificial intelligence, which is flexible enough to create new startups and globally competitive solutions. All actors agreed that Croatia urgently needs a plan and that there is an interest of all stakeholders involved, from the Government and the academic community to business, to adopt the necessary regulations for Sandbox. It is important that the regulation is based on an understanding of technology and that it provides a legal framework that will not stifle, but encourage innovation.
Heidi Chenan (CroAI) presented AI Landscape 2.0. Croatia is just experiencing an AI boom – in 2020, 72 startups developed solutions based on artificial intelligence, and in 2021 we reached the number of 115 startups. Last year, startups earned more than 3.5 billion kuna, while this year the amount of investments exceeded 5 billion kuna. Users are mostly found in the IT sector, telecommunications, e-commerce and banking. 65% of products, services and solutions are placed on the markets of the European Union, followed by North America with 27% and Central and Eastern Europe with 24% share. More than 60% of the capital is domestic capital, while the share of foreign capital is 11%, and 27% have mixed sources of financing. Private capital predominates (81%), and the Croatian AI scene bases its connection with foreign countries mostly on networking (associations, clusters) and international cooperation. Compared to 2020, the share of women founders of startups is growing (from 15% to 17% in 2021), and women are an integral part of the AI team in 50% of respondents. As a challenge, startups point out that it is difficult for them to find AI experts (64.52%), AI sellers (61.29%) and employees abroad (50%).
In 92% of cases, talent is found through networking, and more than half rely on job advertisements (53%) and universities (52%). There is significant room for improving collaboration with universities and academia because in the survey, 42% of startups surveyed said they do not collaborate with academia. After Zagreb, most startups are based in Split, Lipik, Osijek and Rijeka.
Artificial intelligence has become an area of strategic importance and a key driver of economic development and can provide solutions to many societal challenges, but it is necessary to build an ecosystem that will support development. At the panel discussion, Krešimir Žmak (Infobip), Ratko Mutavdžić (Microsoft), Davor Runje (CISEX) and Damir Sabol (Photomath) discussed how to lay a stronger foundation for cooperation between all key stakeholders – AI community, academia and the state – in building it. ecosystem. They agreed that the role of leading domestic companies, in addition to the placement of top products, is to educate people and that it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with academia and universities in the form of research projects. They also pointed out that the challenge of hiring domestic talent became even greater during the pandemic as a large number of domestic AI experts took advantage of the opportunity to work remotely for foreign companies.
During the first day of the program, Croatian AI League awards were presented. The topic was AI – support for the protection and research of bottlenose dolphins in the Adriatic, and the task was to create an algorithm that will automatically recognize and identify dolphins. The best students – participants were awarded gold medals. As part of the conference, a CroAI pitch was held, at which selected TOP 10 AI startups from Croatia and the region were presented. The best team was chosen by a jury composed of investors, representatives of European venture capital funds, WC funds, which combined have hundreds of millions of euros of investment capital. The winners are Farseer and Cidrani with the same number of points, and the third place went to Ascalia.
The conference is supported in partnership by A1 and Photomath as TOP partners and Ascalia, BonsAI, Infobip, Megatrend, Business Intelligence, Robotiq and TIS.

Fashion sketching is where every designer’s creative journey begins, offering a canvas to envision and communicate designs before they come to life. For new designers, mastering the art of sketching helps to lay a strong foundation for their fashion careers. Here’s a guide to understanding essential techniques and tips for creating fashion sketches that are both functional and expressive.
Fashion Designing Course in Pune 1. Start with the Basics: Figure Drawing
A successful fashion sketch starts with a well-proportioned figure, also known as a “croquis.” Practice drawing figures with realistic proportions and a fluid posture. Beginners can trace or use templates to get familiar with human anatomy and learn the balance between body parts.
2. Understand Fabric and Movement
Fashion sketches should convey not only the garment's appearance but also its behavior on the body. Practice sketching different types of fabrics, observing how they drape, fold, and react to movement. From light chiffon to structured denim, study how textures appear in real life to translate them effectively onto paper.
3. Experiment with Various Poses
Static poses are helpful, but dynamic poses bring a design to life. Experiment with poses that reflect how the garment would be worn – a flowing dress in mid-twirl, for example, shows movement and structure better than a simple standing pose.
4. Use Light and Shadow
Adding light and shadow to your sketches creates depth, bringing out the shape of the clothing. Use shading to illustrate curves and layers, enhancing the fabric’s appearance. The direction of light can change the sketch’s mood, so experiment with shadows to understand their effects.
5. Focus on Details
Fashion is all about details. Accessories, stitching patterns, zippers, and buttons add personality to a design. Zoom in on these aspects without crowding the sketch, ensuring they support the main garment's look without overwhelming it.
6. Color Wisely
Color conveys the mood of a design and should be used thoughtfully. Watercolors, colored pencils, and markers are all great tools for adding color. Stick to a few shades to begin with, ensuring they complement each other. Practice blending colors to achieve subtle variations that make fabrics look realistic.
7. Use Digital Tools
Technology is a fantastic companion to traditional sketching. Software like Adobe Illustrator and Procreate offers tools that can speed up your work and add precision. Digital sketching also enables easier adjustments and allows you to experiment with textures, patterns, and color overlays.
8. Practice Consistently
Sketching is a skill that improves with practice. Create a daily habit of sketching new designs, and don't worry if they aren’t perfect. Each drawing brings you closer to discovering your unique style.
FAQs on Fashion Sketching for New Designers
Q1: What tools should I start with for fashion sketching?
As a beginner, start with basic tools like pencils, erasers, colored markers, and sketching paper. Once comfortable, you can explore other tools like watercolor pencils or digital tablets for added flexibility and precision.
Q2: How can I improve my fashion figure proportions?
Practice sketching croquis with proportional guidelines, focusing on balance and anatomy. Tracing figures from templates can also help improve your understanding of body structure and movement.
Q3: Is it necessary to add color to every sketch?
No, it’s not necessary to color every sketch. Start with black and white sketches to focus on shapes and forms. Adding color can be useful to show the garment's style and texture, but it isn’t mandatory.
Q4: What is the best way to show fabric texture in a sketch?
Use light shading, cross-hatching, and blending to depict textures. Observe real-life fabrics and replicate how they reflect light and fold on the body. Experimenting with pencils and markers helps achieve realistic fabric textures.
Q5: How can digital tools help in fashion sketching?
Digital tools like Procreate or Adobe Illustrator allow designers to work with layers, edit easily, and add precise patterns. Digital sketching is versatile and makes it easier to modify designs, try color combinations, and add intricate details.
Q6: What are some common mistakes beginners make in fashion sketching?
Beginners often overcomplicate sketches by adding too many details or using harsh outlines. Focus on clean lines and balanced proportions first. Another common mistake is ignoring fabric behavior, which can make designs look flat.
Fashion Designing Training in Pune Q7: How can I add more life to my fashion sketches?
Experiment with dynamic poses and use light and shadow for a three-dimensional effect. Incorporate movement in your sketches, showing how the garment flows and reacts to body motion.
Q8: Do I need to take formal classes to improve my sketching skills?
Formal classes can provide structured guidance, but many designers improve through consistent practice and self-study. Online tutorials and practice can also be very effective for mastering the basics.
Q9: How can I develop my unique sketching style?
Experiment with different techniques, tools, and styles, and study various fashion illustrators’ work. Over time, you’ll find a sketching style that aligns with your vision and personality.
Q10: How important is sketching in the overall design process?
Sketching is essential as it’s the first visual representation of an idea. It helps communicate designs to others, acts as a creative outlet, and forms the basis for further technical detailing and garment construction.
Fashion sketching is as much about expressing creativity as it is about technical skill. With these tips, new designers can start sketching with confidence, making each drawing a step closer to a successful design career.

The best thing you can ever do for your container plants is to give them compost tea from your vermicomposting bin. Compost tea is cheap and simple, and it will make your plants explode with growth.
The first step to making compost tea is to establish your worm bin. After a few months of feeding the bin, you will see a nice bit of black worm castings. The best way for balcony container gardeners to harvest the castings is to spread them out onto plastic grocery bags in the sun. Other methods use extra bins and buckets, and most balcony gardeners do not have the space for this extra equipment. Spread the castings out into a thin layer onto the plastic bags and set it in the sun until it dries. This way you can see if any worms are left in your pile. You will most likely end up with some worm eggs that will survive and hatch in your plant containers. Whenever you find a red worm in a container (this is common when transplanting), simply put it into the worm bin.
After the castings have dried, put about 3/4ths of a cup (it’s not necessary to measure it) of the castings into a gallon jug (like an old milk jug). When you are ready to water your plants, put water into the gallon jug and shake up the mixture. Some say that the castings should be used right away, but you will still see spectacular plant growth even if your worm castings are a month or two old. It isn’t necessary to constantly harvest the castings. About once a week, add the compost/water mixture to your container plants.
When watering your container plants with compost tea, keep an eye on your plants. Some plants do not respond well to too many nutrients and should not receive as much compost tea as others. If you notice yellow leaf tips, it means you are giving the plant too many nutrients.
Giving your plants compost tea is not an exact science. Do what’s easiest for you when harvesting and feeding the plants in your garden. See how long you can keep worm castings and still see great growth.

NARROW-HEADED GARTERSNAKE Thamnophis rufipunctatus
A medium-sized (up to 1,115 mm or 44" in total length) gray, greenish tan, tan, or brown snake with paired dark gray, brown, or orange spots running the length of the back.
The spots become small and muted posteriorly and eventually fade into the background color as they near the tail. Additional spots mark the sides of the body. The underside is pale cream grading to light gray posteriorly. There are often two parallel rows of dark blotches running the length of the belly. The long and narrow snout gives this snake its common name. The eyes are positioned high on the head and the pupils are round. The dorsal scales are keeled.
This snake is found along and below central Arizona's Mogollon Rim at elevations ranging from ca. 2,200' to 8,000'. Many Arizona populations are in decline and some populations may already be extirpated. Possible threats include introduced crayfish, introduced predatory fish, streamside cattle grazing, heavy recreational use of streams, and water diversions.
It is usually encountered in or near clear, rocky streams or rivers in communities ranging from Arizona Upland Sonoran Desertscrub through Petran Montane Conifer Forest.
This highly aquatic diurnal and evening crepuscular snake forages underwater and basks on banks and in the branches of willows that overhang the water. It has been observed (author obs.) foraging in the water well after sunset on several occasions. It shelters and thermoregulates under streamside rocks and in streamside crevices. It hibernates in rocky outcroppings high above the flood line during the cold months of late fall and winter. When encountered it is often quick to dive under the water and seek shelter under the rocks on the bed of the stream.
The Narrow-headed Gartersnake eats fish including dace, chubs, and both native and introduced trout. It may occasionally prey on salamanders. It has also been observed eating Smallmouth Bass on one occasion.
Mating takes place in the spring and up to 18 young are born in summer.
Protected in Arizona. It is against Arizona State law to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect this animal or to attempt to engage in any such conduct.

My new book, The Case for a Proto-Gospel: recovering the common written source behind Mark and John, should be going to press sometime in December and be available shortly thereafter. There’s an Amazon link to the book in the right sidebar (somewhere else in Mobile displays).
Barrie Wilson, Professor Emeritus and Senior Scholar, Religious Studies, York University, Toronto, had this to say about the book
Gary Greenberg is a superb intellectual detective, following up on tantalizing clues in ancient texts to uncover sources and insights that others have missed. In this latest work, Gary traces similarities between the Gospel of John and the earlier Gospel of Mark. In so doing, he makes a remarkable discovery — lurking behind both gospels is an earlier document that each has used, independently of the other. Here is a new source document that sheds important light on the crucial decades following Jesus’ death.
Carefully crafted, well written, based on historical and literary analysis, Gary’s book enhances our understanding not only of the Gospels of John and Mark but the process whereby the gospels themselves came to be.

Psalm 119, longest chapter in the Bible. The writer is so convinced the law is a great thing. This startles us, because we're convinced Jesus is so much greater than the Law. As John says, the law came through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
But Psalm 119 does say God is greater than the law. "Your word, Lord, is eternal. It stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness continues through all generations." Just as John proclaims the Word as eternal, from the beginning with God, the Word with God, who is God.
Psalm 89 reminds us of something else firm in the heavens. God's covenant with David, to establish his line, his throne forever. Praise to the Son of David, who has ruled, who will rule forever.

I was told it was a Daredevil anthology done in the style of the Marvel Magazines from the 70’s and 80’s. Could be an iconic cover, something of an homage to the 80’s Miller/Mazzuchelli and Nocenti stories or that evokes their styles. I was inspired by Daredevil #216 cover done by David Mazzuccelli.
I did lot of sketches, but remember, never show to your editor sketches and proposals you do not like unless you want them to be chosen. These are the proposed ones.
Once it was approved I started penciling. Well, my pencils are not really pencils nowadays, I draw them digitally using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop. Then, I use to print them on a board and ink. Process and final pencils:

Who would have known where we would be today. Living in San Francisco was in the works but the details were still being ironed out. Owning my own photography business was a dream and hope but not a reality yet. Kids, ha! Anyone who knew us back then knew that was the furthest thing from our minds. We had no idea what life would bring us. All we knew is that we wanted to find out together. Today, among numerous other wonderful blessings, we're ecstatic to live in this city that we love, I'm able to photograph happy people for a living and above all we have darling Cooper in our lives.

By now you know that IBM's Watson kicked ass on Jeopardy. It's interesting to hear how people were either rooting for or against the computer. What I found more interesting was how the other contestants, and the host Alex Trebek, seemed to react to "Watson". Of course, what they were reacting to was not the box housing the equipment, wires and logic boards but a monitor displaying an active graphic relating Watson's "thoughts". From the display you could see the computer "thinking" and it's "confidence". In reality, it's displaying an algorithm that shows the computer working on the problem and relating the projected probability of correctness. What's brilliant about this Joshua Davis creation is that it in no way looks like a face (spheroidal, sure, but not a face). I think if people did relate to the machine, it was simply because it had an expression and that's what made the connection.Contrast Watson to IBM's Big Blue — who in their right mind wanted a faceless, Fascistic monolith to defeat a person, or even any weird Robert Zemeckis digital zombie and it's immediately obvious just how Watson's "face" is so engaging. Watson is so much more personable than HAL, even if it does share the same snarky tone and dark threat to defeat all human counterparts.

Tanya is showing off again, she had her next block in our Beginner Quilt Along She is frustrated with her block because her corners don't match perfectly. I think she did a fantastic job though.
When I sat down to make this post it seems I have extra pictures on my camera. My Daughter took this picture of my 3 cherries. I bought 2 cherry trees this year and planted them in my front yard (ran out of room in the back yard for tree's it has way more then our small yard can handle.) I do not know much about cherry's other then they taste good how do you tell when they are ready?
As for me all I did today was finish the quilting of my soldier star quilt. This quilt took some serious effort. I wanted to echo quilt both sides of all the blocks that were different side by side (so between blue and read etc and white and blue. but between same blocks I did not quilt) It was a lot of effort to drag the quilt though the machine. Now all I need to do is cut it down (we did a booboo on basting it and part of one side did not get back and batting) so I need to find the least amount I can cut off the edges to make it look good and bind it should maybe have it done by Friday night.
This block is one of my 12 1/2 inch block swap blocks I got this month it sure is pretty.

Are you a livestock veterinarian that spends a lot of time on calls to farms and barns, and sometimes you are called out when it's only a false alarm? If you are, and if you could send the others in your office to determine if the situation is an emergency, you want to get the right tools to prepare your staff to make the proper assessment. If you get veterinarian students, assistants, or other medical professionals that are used to working with animals, have them trained to use these things and have them assess the animals before you drop everything in your practice to see what is going on.

Heroin is a dangerous drug, and when a person begins using heroin there is a very high chance of becoming physically and psychologically addicted.

Nutraceutical potential of ripe and unripe plantain peels: A comparative study
Ibhafidon Shadrach, Adaramola Banji and Onigbinde Adebayo
This study investigated the nutraceutical potential of ripe and unripe plantain fruit peels which are commonly discarded as food wastes. Proximate and mineral analyses of the samples were performed as per the standard methods of the
Association of Official Analytical Chemists. Preliminary phytochemical screening of aqueous, acetone and methanol extracts of the peels was also carried out in accordance to standard methods. From the results of the study, acetone extract of
the unripe peel showed the presence of eight phytochemicals while its ripe peel showed the presence of four. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of both peels showed the presence of same phytochemicals i.e., terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, phenols,
flavonoids, alkaloids, reducing sugars and saponins. Meanwhile, tannins was absent in all three solvent extracts of both peels. Fat, ash, crude fibre and carbohydrate contents of the unripe peel were higher than those of the ripe.
However, moisture and protein contents of the ripe peel were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of the unripe. Of all the nine essential minerals assayed (K, Na, Mg, Ca, P, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu), concentrations of all except calcium were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the unripe peel than those of the ripe peel. Notably, none of the heavy metals (Co, Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni) assayed was detected in both samples. This study concludes that ripe and unripe plantain fruit peels could serve as promising sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds essential for the health of both livestock and humans.

All event requests must adhere to event submission guidelines. This does not replace the need to submit a PN-60 for events requiring use of college facilities. The City Tech Calendar is only for College-related events; all other requests will be denied.
The goal of an event description is to publicize the event so the college community is aware of what is happening on campus. Keep in mind your intended audience as many will make decisions based on what is available to them. Event descriptions should be simply written in a clear and concise manner. Avoid the use of slang or jargon and the use of exclamation points (!!!). Do not include personal contact information for questions on events. In general, attendees will decide whether to attend based on the event description. In the rare cases where an email address or phone number is appropriate, it should be departmental, not individual. Remain factual, but try to make the description enticing to the target audience. Every event should include a specific location, including a street address if the event is available to the general public.
Some events may "belong" to more than one category. If that is the case, choose the second option on the pull-down menu: "more than one." A list will appear, allowing you to select all of the categories to which your event pertains.
All requests to the City Tech calendar should be submitted no later than one week prior to the start of the event. It is recommended, though, that you proofread everything carefully, as the description will be displayed on the public-facing calendar. Once a request has been submitted it may take anywhere from 24 - 72 hours before an event is approved. An event is not official until you receive an email confirmation and is posted on the City Tech events calendar.
Once a calendar request has been submitted it will make its way through the approval process, an event is not "live" until it appears on the calendar page. If a change needs to be made, email the calendar administrator at [email protected]. Once your event has been processed an email will be sent, even if the event request has for any reason been denied.
Failure to adhere to submission guidelines can delay the event approval process and delay posting to the college calendar.

The day was lovely and we locked the bikes and wandered the town looking at all the tourists with their ice creams and cameras. We then stopped for our own ice cream and took it to the part at the mouth of the river. This is where the Niagara river spills out to Lake Ontario, and across the river is Fort Niagara on the USA side:And from the other angle, a 45 degree turn to the left, and zooming across Lake Ontario, was this photo of Toronto. Visible are the office towers and the tall CN tower.
And the last photo is the Quilt Wrap, now about 5 feet long and just over half done! Still enjoying this fuzzy project, although it sheds a bit while knitting, so I change into old T's and shorts before I knit, then have to change again if I am going out again. It looks like I have a shedding multi-coloured cat if I don't change my clothes!

Biking on a Summer Day
We were shut out of our usual golf game, a big tournament was scheduled on our course... so we popped the bikes in the backof the Pickup and off we went to the Niagara Parkway Recreational Trail. It is a paved trail that runs along the Niagara Parkway, from Fort Erie, past Niagara Falls and ends at Niagara-on-the-Lake. We parked near Queenston and rode the bikes along the trail into the town of NOTL. Here is a picture of Rick:

We didn’t make it all the way to the Boca Cerrada aldea. Following the photos from the bottom right shows our embarcation point from an aldea called Tierra Firme, the jumping off point to Boca Cerrada. We made our way down the estuary toward the sea and stopped at a large home where the alcalde and his regidores were having a cabilde abierto (La Masica’s mayor and city council were having an open council meeting.) At which Jovenes sin Fronteras with myself in a supporting role were on the agenda. After our presentation, four of us continued down the estuary to a wide spot in the water where we could reach the Caribbean Sea via a small hut that was lived in by several people, most of them children. When we returned, our companeros were waiting for us and we loaded up for the return trip, my JSF colleagues Delia and Araceli and I posed for a photo before they loaded into the lancha with the waiting city council members. On our trip in another lancha for us remaining we saw cranes, turtles, a manatee feeding at water’s edge and in the second-to-last picture a monkey barely visible near the bright spot on the right of the pic. Click on the pic to see the black of its body. The old dugout canoe in the final pic is something I would not set sail in, ever.

Ecuador is one of the smallest countries in South America, yet it teems with life and tradition, a SE professor said during a speech on the country for Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 29.
Ivan Mino, a Spanish assistant professor and an Ecuadorian himself, told the audience about the nation’s contrasts from the Galapagos Islands to the Amazon River basin. Mino was born in Quito, Ecuador, and moved to the U.S.
He went on to join the Peace Corps and served for many years, finally returning to the U.S. to teach. He received his master’s degree at the University of California-Irvine, where he is now working toward his doctorate.
His favorite memories were his years playing soccer in high school, where he was named best sportsman and captain for his undefeated team in Staten Island, New York.
Mino shared a video produced by his daughter, who works for the president of Ecuador, showing the country’s nature as well as the people and the way they live.
“The attitude of the people toward nature, they take care of it. They are very proud of it,” he said.
Mino said how important the Galapagos Islands are to the Ecuadorian people and the human race.
“To be in the Galapagos is to be in one of the most beautiful places in the world,” he said.
Mino also spoke about Darwin and his role in discovering the nature that encompasses the Galapagos as well as speaking on how Darwin made an impact on how Ecuadorians would treat nature from then on.
Ecuadorians believe in evolution, and they believe everything should be done with respect in accordance to the nature they live in, Mino said.
“The most famous product of Ecuador, not one of the products that make the most money … the Panama hat,” he said.
Mino spoke on the Amazon, the indigenous tribes within the basin, and the oil trade moving in on that territory. The Ecuadorian government filed suit in court for damages caused by a massive oil spill by the Chevron-Texaco company.
“Oil changes the minds of the people,” Mino said also mentioning the children with black feet that suffered from exposure to the spill.
Next, Mino spent time discussing the artist Oswaldo Guayasamin and the art he produced. Mino gave in-depth insights on the personality and style of the famous artist and shared many paintings around the setting that were among the most known of Guayasamin.
Mino showed La Pieta, Guayasamin’s painting depicting the death of Jesus, along with other artworks.
“He was a very irreverent person as an intellectual,” he said. “He painted this based on a famous painting. The only thing is that in this one he undresses Jesus.”
Speaking on Ecuador and the possibility of a rise out of poverty, Mino shared that he could not see that there would be change.
“With more riches, there is more poverty,” he said.
Ecuadorians love life and nature, he said, and the nation is also one of the best places in the world to retire.
After the presentation, Mino said he loves TCC and the atmosphere he has experienced, leaving big universities for what he has found at TCC.
After his teaching career is over, he said he would retire to Ecuador where he would spend his time with family at home.
“The world is wide and foreign,” he said, “We must explore it.”

I picked up three books that I had on hold from the library today. I'm very excited about all of them.
The Ghost Map is a book recommended to me by my cousin. It is about the black plague in London, and its affects on society there and in the rest of the world.
Quilts in Sweden is a book that I am getting for a second time because I loved it so much. The quilts and especially the fabrics are spectacular.
Last, but not least, The New Artisans is one I have been waiting to arrive for many months. Anna Emilia has a blog that a came across while clicking around through other blogs. I absolutely LOVE the drawings and paintings she does, and the way that she writes. One day in a post, she announced that she is one of the artisans featured in this book. The book is full of artisans and pictures of their beautiful handcrafted items.
I can't wait to turn on my lamps and sit on my couch under a quilt, looking through my books.

If you’ve ever downed a Five-Hour Energy or something similar in size, you’ve gotten the experience of drinking what you see me drinking here. Except for two things.
One: the taste, as I remember it (this was 11+ years ago), was great. It was like a non-alcoholic Fireball shot. Very cinnamon-y but not medicine-y like most energy drinks.
Two: it packed a wallop. I can’t remember how many shots were in the box they sent me (looks like a 12-pack) but I remember thinking that the next week or so was going to be very productive.
My plan for this review was to ham it up a bit for the camera regardless of how well this tiny energy drink actually worked – but luckily for me, it actually worked great. Unluckily for me, I think the drinks cost $3-$4 or so per shot at the time, which was too rich for my frugal blood.
And I’ll be damned, but you can still buy them now: $42 for a 12-pack right from the Mana website.
Review of the video itself: 8/10. I still laugh at the Motley Crue/Office bit.

(HealthNewsDigest.com)- Keeping pets safe and happy when it’s cold is a major concern for all pet owners. Marc Morrone, renowned pet expert and host of Hallmark Channel’s “Petkeeping with Marc Morrone” (airs weekdays at noon), is a modern-day Dr. Dolittle and Martha Stewart’s go-to guy in the world of four-legged and winged beasts, from dogs to cats and rabbits to parrots.
On his show, Marc reveals what viewers need to know about caring for their pets, and below are Marc’s top tips for winter pet care:
• When fitting dogs with boots and sweaters, make sure to practice inside your home first. If your pets aren’t comfortable walking around the house in their gear, they will not be comfortable in the outdoors.
• Don’t forget about the wild animals in the winter. Placing a bird feeder outside your window can mean the difference between life and death for a little songbird.
• Keep antifreeze out of reach of pets. It is extremely toxic. Marc cannot stress that enough.
• If you live in an apartment building or co-op, petition the board to only use pet-safe deicer on the sidewalks and courtyard walkways throughout the winter.
• If you own a reptile, keep extra heat lamps on hand during the winter months in case one blows out during a holiday or snowstorm and you can’t get out to replace the bulb.
• In the winter, dry air causes dogs and cats to shed quite a bit. To combat this, brush your pet daily and add raw flaxseed oil to your pet’s food (1 teaspoon for every 10 lbs. of your pet’s weight). This will help reduce dryness of the skin.
In every episode of “Petkeeping with Marc Morrone,” customers stop by with pet in hand seeking Marc’s advice on every topic from common cat/dog misconceptions to how to keep children and pets safe and happy while living under the same roof. This season, he looks at plus-size pets, baby pets, older pets, high-maintenance pets and more. He made his national TV debut in 1998 on Martha’s show after she spotted him on a New York cable access show. The author of five books, Marc also writes a syndicated pets column for Newsday, hosts “Ask Marc, the Petkeeper” on Martha Stewart Living Radio and has a weekly show on News 12 New York called “Animal Island.”

(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Every bride deserves to look and feel like a queen on her wedding day; however, not every bride has the budget of a queen. Do it yourself hair and makeup looks have increased significantly in popularity in the last few years, with YouTube tutorials abound and products at our fingertips that take the hassle out of the process. Here, Gocha Hawkins, celebrity hairstylist, makeup artist, and owner of Gocha Salon, delivers three show stopping hair and makeup looks that are easy enough to pull off yourself, and still make you feel like the queen that you are.
“As a general rule of thumb, shimmer does not always photograph well. Do your best to keep makeup matte and be sure that foundation is blended thoroughly as the camera detects oily skin. For summer brides, humidity is their worst hair enemy. Dry hair downward at a 90-degree angle to avoid frizz while styling, and ask your hairstylist beforehand about products that will work with your hair’s natural texture. Additionally, every bride should have a touch-up kit on hand the day of the wedding to avoid a beauty disaster,” Gocha advises.
This summer, it’s all about the pop of color in the makeup world. “The runways for spring and summer 2012 collections were sprinkled with bright neon shades not only in terms of the clothing, but also in makeup,” explains Gocha. “This has definitely prevailed as a trend for the more fashion forward bride this season. Also, it’s very versatile and can work for women with short hair. Pairing this with a structured yet whimsical teased ponytail achieves a stunning, bold statement. Think rocker mom Gwen Stefani’s electric style.”
· Choose one feature to focus on; whether you’re going with a bright eye or lip, having both will be distracting and take away from your overall look. If drawing the focus to the eye, begin by using a powder-based primer to set. MAC Cosmetics has countless shadow options and at $15.00, it’s a steal. As far as a show-stopping lip, go with a matte lipstick. NARS’s semi-matte lipstick is a safe bet and cost-effective at $24.00.
· A volumized ponytail is stunning and works with warm weather instead of against it. To create this look, leave out the hair at the crown of the head when pulling hair back. Curl hair with a large-barreled curling iron for a bouncy, wavy texture or pin up for a more traditional updo. Tease hair at the crown for volume, spraying hairspray at the same time to set the look. To smooth, apply wax pomade and secure with a hair pin.
For the bride that wants to play up her sex appeal on her wedding day, a slightly heavier makeup look with a glamorous yet simple ‘do is the way to go. “Creating a dramatic eye with a red lip gives off that eternal essence of old-Hollywood charm and epitomizes class for a sophisticated affair. A great role model for this look is January Jones, who keeps it in her repertoire for big ticket red carpet events. If your wedding’s theme leans toward romantic vintage, this look is definitely for you,” says Gocha.
· Spend time testing different shades of the perfect red. Depending on skin tone, a red with a tint of orange or undertones of pink will look best on most brides. Keep other makeup simple, but still stunning by lining the upper rim of your eye in a black kohl liner. Use an eyelash curler for added volume (or if you’re even more adventurous, fake lashes) and make sure to apply ample mascara. Sweep a natural looking blush on cheeks for the full effect.
· Retro waves are flattering on every face shape and most hair lengths, except for very short. Following your shower, use leave-in conditioner to keep hair moisturized. Dry hair and part to the side. Curl in 1-inch sections and then roll forward. Set with an anti-frizz serum that will moisturize your hair throughout the night.
Minimalism is a dominant trend for summer that emerged during the collections for 2012 designer campaigns. As Gocha explains, “With a natural makeup look, I like to do something fun with hair, like take a classic style and evolve it to be more modern. One of my favorite hairstyles of the past year was Charlize Theron’s look at the Oscars. Not only does she pull off a modified version of the classic chignon, but she elevated the headband and transformed it into a formal hair accessory.”
· For makeup, choose a blush that is as close as possible to your natural flush color. Define your features by shading eyelids with a soft, natural hue that is a shade darker than your skin tone. Lightly line eyes with a black liner if desired, or just stick with a few coats of mascara to make them pop. For lips, stick to a shade or two darker than your lip hue in a moisturizing, lightweight tint.
· Curl small sections with a 2-inch curling iron to create waves. Spray with a shine-enhancing product and brush to eliminate the threat of separation. Sweep hair to your preferred side and roll hair into a loose bun. Pull out some face framing strands to create an unstructured, wispy look. Finish by spraying with holding spray and carefully place your headband.
“The most important advice I can give to any DIY bride is to test your looks beforehand, thoroughly. Entrust one of your bridesmaids with the duty of spending a day helping you test out makeup and hair looks with a digital camera and under fluorescent lighting. This way, there are no surprises when you take your photos, and you can feel confident that you’ve achieved the exact look you want. Because, after all, that’s the most important thing; that the bride is happy on her wedding day!” says Gocha.

(HealthNewsDigest.com) – DALLAS, May 7, 2019 – Drinking water that is contaminated with arsenic may lead to thickening of the heart’s main pumping chamber in young adults, a structural change that increases the risk for future heart problems, according to new research in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, an American Heart Association journal.
“People drinking water from private wells, which are not regulated, need to be aware that arsenic may increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. Testing those wells is a critical first step to take action and prevent exposure,” said Gernot Pichler, M.D., Ph.D., M.Sc., lead author of the study and medical specialist for Internal Medicine, Department of Cardiology at Hospital Hietzing/Heart Center Clinic Floridsdorf in Vienna, Austria, scientific collaborator at INCLIVA Health Research Institute in Valencia, Spain, and a visitor scholar in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University in New York City.
People are most frequently exposed to arsenic, a toxic metalloid, through drinking water in areas where groundwater is contaminated, including many American Indian tribal communities and other rural and suburban communities in the United States. Previously, several studies have shown that arsenic exposure raises the risk of heart disease and its risk factors, including high blood pressure and diabetes. This is the first study to review the question in young American Indians in Oklahoma, Arizona and North and South Dakota.
Here, researchers reviewed data from the Strong Heart Family Study, a study evaluating cardiovascular risk factors among American Indians. Arsenic exposure was measured in urine samples from 1,337 adults (average age 30.7 years, 61% female) and the size, shape and function of their hearts were assessed using ultrasound (echocardiography). None of the participants had diabetes or heart disease at the start of the five-year study.
Overall, arsenic exposure was higher than in the general United States population, but lower than that found in other studies conducted in Mexico and Bangladesh. With a two-fold increase in arsenic in the urine, the researchers found:
- 47% greater chance of thickening of the heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle) in the group as a whole; and
- 58% greater chance of thickening of the left ventricle in participants with increased or high blood pressure (blood pressure at least 120/80 mm Hg or using pressure-lowering medication)
“The stronger association in subjects with elevated blood pressure suggests that individuals with pre-clinical heart disease might be more prone to the toxic effects of arsenic on the heart,” Pichler said.
The study is limited by having only one measure of arsenic exposure, and by the lack of long-term follow-up of the participants. Although this study was performed in tribal populations in the north, central and southwestern United States, the results are likely to be generalizable to millions of people in other rural locations exposed to low or moderate levels of arsenic in their water, according to Pichler.
“The study raises the question of whether the changes in heart structure are reversible if exposure is reduced. Some changes have occurred in water sources in the study communities, and it will be important to check the potential health impact of reducing arsenic exposure,” Pichler said.
“Observational studies can stimulate future research on genetic, environmental and clinical factors to shed light on the relationship between arsenic and cardiovascular disease,” said editorial author, Rajiv Chowdhury, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom “These studies are important since cardiovascular disease remains the single leading cause of adult premature death worldwide and millions of individuals globally are exposed to arsenic and other metal contaminants.”

A Journey to Forensics Headquarters
January 2023 Issue
by Mary Hope Roseneau
Photography by Cassidy Dunn Photography
Lieutenant Renita L. Berry answered my email sent over the weekend promptly at 9:30 am on Monday morning. That gives you an idea of her professionalism. We set our appointment for the same day, in the afternoon. She’s a busy lady who doesn’t waste time; I admire that a lot.
In addition to the rank of Lieutenant in the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, Renita retired as Colonel with the South Carolina Army National Guard just two years ago, having served 34 years, including two overseas deployments in Bosnia and Kosovo.
Renita and a friend joined the National Guard right out of high school in the little town of Bowman, SC, initially just to receive tuition aid for college. But she fell in love with the military and made it a career. She graduated from the University of South Carolina in Columbia with a degree in Chemistry in 1993 and earned a Master of Arts in Management from Webster University in 2004. She worked with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control at first, but a tour of a South Carolina Law Enforcement (SLED) lab opened another door for her.
During a deployment, she had time to reflect about her life goals and career path, and when she returned, she immediately applied for a position with SLED. (She admitted to calling them daily to check on her application status.) Guess what? She got the job! Persistence pays.
As a Class I Law Enforcement Officer Deputy, Renita must qualify on the shooting range, as well as pass all the physical requirements of the job. She said, “You have to do what you have to do.” She also gives credit to colleagues saying, “I’ve always had good people in my corner,” to help with all aspects of her job. She worked with SLED as a Drug Chemist until 2001, when she was recruited by Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner to come to Beaufort.
Sheriff Tanner’s dream was to have a state-of-the-art forensics laboratory here in the Lowcountry to handle the high volume of drug related crimes. The Lab was initially housed in the Law Enforcement Complex in Beaufort and then at the brand-new University of South Carolina Beaufort New River Campus. While at USCB, Renita assisted with teaching a Chemistry Lab course for one semester. She later served as a guest instructor for a Forensics course, as well. The DNA investigative unit was added in 2008 and now has eight employees and a new state-of-the-art laboratory was completed in 2010. Renita was officially named Director of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Forensic Services Laboratory in 2010.
Currently Renita and the rest of the lab staff are working on an internal audit, which helps to ensure the laboratory remains in compliance with ISO 17025:2017 standards, a requirement for international accreditation. The main responsibility of the lab is to receive, evaluate and analyze evidence from criminal investigations. The lab scientists do this by providing state-of-the-art testing, verifying and collaborating with other experts and providing reports and testimony as needed by the courts of law.
There are two divisions: Forensic Biology/DNA and Forensic Chemistry/Controlled Substances. The Biology/DNA team examines samples, which can be minute amounts of biological material, such as saliva, blood or skin cells that may be used to develop an investigative lead, link a suspect to a victim or crime scene, confirm or disprove an account of the crime, and identify unknown victims. The Beaufort Forensic Lab also works with rape kit evidence and provides training for nurses attending to rape victims. State and national databases are accessed to compare DNA profiles (which are obtained from evidence) from other jurisdictions, and sadly, sometimes to identify human remains.
The Forensic Chemistry section works to identify illegal and dangerous unknown substances, such as poisons, illicit drugs, overdoses, and trafficking. Again, the Coroner’s Office may request information from the Lab regarding a possible overdose or poisoning victim when unknown substances have been found with the victim. In all these examples, Renita stresses they “follow the science,” staying completely neutral and unbiased. In chemistry and DNA, science speaks for itself.
Renita has a large five-foot tall whiteboard that stands by itself, and has lists and goals for the week, the month, and ongoing issues. She uses it for staff meetings, as well as a personal visual reminder of the tasks at hand. She is an example to all of us through her professionalism, persistence and pride in her work. Her whiteboard might be full, but she and her Forensics Lab team are already a valuable asset to Beaufort County citizens.

Tyres are an integral part of a vehicle. They are used in all aspects of driving and are play a huge role in safety.
There are many choices available when it comes to choosing tyres for your car and this can change the price you pay for each tyre quite drastically. Firstly, you need to consider what type of driving you do and if you want your tyres to just be suitable for winter or summer or if you are looking for an all year round tyre. Sometimes winter tyres are not great in the summer so if you do not want to have to have two sets of tyres then you are better to go for an allrounder.
You then need to decide if you want budget tyres, mid range or premium. The price will increase as the quality of tyres goes up. Choosing budget tyres does not necessarily mean that the tyres will be poor quality. In fact some budget tyres have great ratings making them a good buy. Each tyre has a rating for road noise, fuel economy, wet grip and it all depends on what type of budget tyres you go for.
Tyres are rated on wet grip, road noise and fuel economy. These ratings will help you chose a good budget tyre as some perform way better than others.

New cooking dailies are now available in Darnassus, Ironforge (Alliance), Thunderbluff and Undercity (Horde). These dailies give the same rewards as the Stormwind and Orgrimmar dailies with 1-2 cooking awards, cooking skills (1-2 points), money, experience and factional reputation towards the city in which the daily is done. It is only possible to do one Cataclysm fishing daily a day (eg if you do a daily in Darnassus you can no longer do the one in Stormwind or Ironforge though you can still do the Shattrath and Dalaran dailies).
If you can’t see the quest giver it maybe that you haven’t picked up cooking training, your level is too low (minimum level 10) or, most likely, you have either completed or have in your log book another city cooking daily.
While it would be neat if we could do all 3 main city dailies of our toon’s faction a day, the introduction of these new dailies is still helpful for lower level players (who can now do the daily in the city closest to where they are questing), may be a way of gaining a specific factional city reputation and add variety to the dailies (to those becoming a little jaded with the Stormwind or Orgrimmar dailies). Completing each of the five dailies for each city will complete the appropriate achievement (eg Let’s Do Lunch: Thunderbluff) and completing all three Let’s Do Lunch city acheivments awards A Bunch of Lunch. This adds three more cooking achievements for each faction.
The cooking dailies for each of the four cities is as follows:
Cooking dailies in Darnassus are now available from the Cooking Trainer Alegorn (Craftsmen Terrace):
- Ribs for the Sentinels – Alegorn asks you to cook the uncooked ribs he supplies and then to distribute them to 5 Sentinels. Use the stove next to the cooking trainer to cook the ribs. Sentinels (the Darnassan guards) are easily found scattered throughout the environs of the city. Once fed the Sentinels gain a 2 minute well fed buff which makes them uninterested in eating. This daily gives 2 Chef’s Awards.
- Back to Basics – Alegron wants you to pound rice in the townsfolk’s rice baskets into rice flour. The baskets can be readily found scattered in buildings through Darnassus.
- Remembering the Ancestors – Alegorn’s apprentice is out of town, so he asks you to collect blessed rice cakes from the Temple of the Moon which you must then present to the ancestors at the Shrine of the Ancestors (a large pyramid shaped tower at the graveyard just before the main entrance gate of Darnassus and to the north of the large courtyard area in front of the Warrior Terrace).
- Spice Bread Aplenty – make or get your hands on 10 pieces of spice bread (a basic recipe that requires flour and mild spices easily purchased from the cooking supplier).
- The Secret to the Perfect Kimchi - Alegorn wants you to find 8 buried Kimchi jars (the secret to perfect Kimchi) scattered beside the bases of the buildings, bushes and trees throughout the Craftsman Terrace as well as on the islands and the Tradesman Terrace in Darnassus. This daily gives 2 cooking skill points.
Daryl Rikknussun, the cooking trainer in the Bronze Kettle (in the Great Forge near the entrance to the Hall of Explorers) offers five dailies:
- Keepin’ the Haggis Flowin’- Daryl sends you to find 3 essential ingredients of Haggis: Bag of sheep innards (purchased from the meat vendor Songar Cliffbeard), 5 packets of mild spices (from any cooking supplier) and 4 sacks of oatmeal (in or outside any of the inns or suppliers in the city). Mild spices can be bought from Emrul Rikknussun in the lower floor of the Bronze Kettle. Unlike the sugar sacks in Stormwind, the oat sacks are easily found scattered outside and inside of shops in the Great Forge, the Military Hall, the Commons, the Mystic Ward and the other areas of Ironforge. The meat vendor Songar paths around the Military Ward. This daily gives 2 Chef’s Awards.
- Can’t Get Enough Spice Bread – Daryl wants you to cook 10 spice bread which is a basic recipe available at level 1 Cooking Skill. The required sacks of wheat and packets of spice can be purchased from Daryl’s brother Emrul just downstairs.
- A Fowl Shortage – Daryl wants to make Cock-a-leekie soup but doesn’t have enough chickens. Catch 6 Dun Morogh chickens running around on the flat area just outside the gates of Ironforge as well as on the road down the mountain. The chickens don’t run fast and are very easy to catch.
- A Round for the Guards – Daryl asks you to distribute Ironforge rations (haggis and Ironforge pale ale) to 6 Ironforge Guards. The Guards are easy enough to find though feeding them gives a brief 2 minute well fed buff that makes them unavailable for the quest while the buff lasts.
- I Need to Cask a Favor – Daryl wants you to go to Kharanos and bring back a cask of Drugan’s Ironforge Pale Ale (IPA) from outside the brewery. The cask is beside Ragnar Thunderbrew standing next to the entrance stairs of the Thunderbrew Distillery (the inn). Picking it up will give you a 3min Brewery Delivery buff (similar to the Goblin Parcel Runner disguise in the Dangerous Love quest line) which gives you extra speed and now brakes. Run back and hand in to Daryl. This daily gives 2 cooking skill points.
Cooking Trainer Aska Mistrunner on the third level of the main mesa (where Bain Bloodhoof and the weapon traders are and just one level down from the Wind Rider Master) also offers 5 dailies:
- Pining for nuts – Tauran cooking uses pine nuts in many dishes. Aska wants you to collect 30 pine nuts by roasting pine cones over a fire. The cones (which show on the minimap with herb finding skills) are at the base of the pine trees around the edges of the different levels on the mesas. Each cone produces 5 nuts.
- Corn Mash – Aska wants you to grind 5 bowls of corn kernels into cornmeal. The small woven grass bowls inside the buildings scattered throughout Thunderbluff. This daily gives 2 Chef’s Awards.
- Magic Mushrooms – Aska sends you to gather 6 “magic” mushrooms http://www.wowhead.com/item=69994 – very small delicious mushroom caps underneath the bigger mushrooms in the Pools of Vision in the cave at the Spirit Rise.
- Mulgore Spice Bread – make 5 mulgore spice bread by adding Aska’s special spices to 5 regular spice bread you have already cooked (need flour & mild spices).
- Perfectly Pickled Portions – Aska asks you to obtain four ingredients to make a perfect dish from4 huts around Thunderbluff. The first two are on the main rise one level down from Aska: Succulent Sweet Potato (in the Nan Mistrunner’s Fruit and Vegetable stand, 2 huts south of the hut with the bridge to the Elder Rise) and Savoury Spices (in Komin Winterhoof the Herbalism Trainer’s hut which is on the south side of the bridge hut to the Elder Rise). The last two are on the main rise on the same level as Aska: Fresh Caught Fish (hanging from the ceiling in the back of Kah Mistrunner the Fishing Trainer’s hut on the west side of the bridge hut to the Elder Rise) and Freshly Hunted Fowl (hanging on the west side of Kaga Mistrunner the meat vendor’s hut directly opposite from Aska). This daily gives 2 cooking skill points.
And if you have a cast iron stomach you can do the five different dailies offered by Cooking Trainer Eunice Burch (in the Trade Sector) in Undercity.
- Roach Coach – Eunice asks you to collect 20 plump cockroaches from traps around Undercity for her sister Audrey’s Thrice-Spiced Crunchy Stew. Both the traps (small wooden boxes hidden in, around or behind objects) and Audrey are in the inner ring of the canals. This daily gives 2 Chef’s Awards.
- Would You Like Some Flies with That – Eunice wants you to gather for her 25 bloated flies from the meat wagons. The 5-6 wagons are distributed around Undercity (eg in the Apothecarium, the Rogues Quarter, the Magic Quarter etc). Each wagon has 4-6 pieces of rotting meat scattered on the ground beneath it and each piece of meat yields 2-5 bloated flies. Eunice plans to fatten up spiders with the flies, which will fatten up the frogs which will … well, lets just say its reminiscent of the song “There was an old woman who swallowed a fly”
- Escargot A Go-Go – Eunice wants you to find 8 Brightwater snails in Brightwater Lake, the large lake northeast of Undercity. To make it easier to find the snails use a targeting macro (see below). This daily gives 2 cooking skill points.
- Fungus Among Us – Eunice asks you to collect 12 sewer cap mushrooms – small orange mushrooms that grow in the Undercity sewer. The sewer entrance (47:39) is the double high stairs against the wall of the outer ring, halfway between the apothecarium and the war quarter.
- Lily, Oh Lily - Pick ten Stillwater lilies for Eunice from the edges of Stillwater Pond northwest of Undercity, past Coldheath Manor. The lilies are the flat, bronzy yellow water lily pads on the surface of the water just in from the water’s edge.
The cooking dailies are easily completed with worthwhile rewards. Incidentally, they give a little bit more insight into the dietary preferences of the different factional groups (from pale ale and haggis for sturdy Dwarves; to rice, kimchi and octopus for the Night Elf; cider, pumpkin & cookies in Stormwind; prickly pear, swine bellies and rice for the Orc; pine nuts, corn meal and savoury spices for the Tauran; and cockroaches, flies and snails for the Undead) as well as some cultural, philanthropic and religious practices. Perhaps a gentle reminder that people “do not live by bread alone” and that a reflective person is not only enriched by the cooking customs of their own and others traditions but also acknowledges the Provider of all good things.
Example of a targeting Marcos (create through computer icon, macros or Esc key, macros). Once created place the macro on a toolbar.

Understanding Sacrificial Offerings
The chapters in the Torah which detail the practice of animal sacrifice in the Temple are some of the most difficult for a 21st century individual to understand. As such practices have completely disappeared from civilized society we tend to view them as cruel, primitive and superstitious. They seem incompatible with other humane and progressive commandments of the Torah, which were revolutionary when the Torah was first given and today form the basis for not only a vibrant Judaism but for the moral and ethical standards of most of the rest of the world as well.
Writing in the early 16th century and incorporating the words of Maimonides, who preceded him by several hundred years, Abarbanel provides a perspective on sacrifices that we can appreciate today. The primary reason for the necessity of these rituals was to assist the nascent Jewish nation in believing in the existence and oneness of G-d and to draw closer to Him by following His directives. Human perfection can be more effectively realized by attaining knowledge and faith through prayer, enlightenment and adherence to the Torah’s other precepts than by burning animals on an altar. However, the Jewish People were commanded to devote themselves to the worship of G-d, and the prevailing form of worship at that time was through animal sacrifice in specially-designated temples. G-d determined that the Jewish People would not be able to easily abandon such a well-established universal custom. By shifting the mode of worship from polytheistic paganism to the worship of one G-d, idolatry could be eliminated without radically interfering with practices already familiar to the people. In fact, the enormous detail of the many differences between the various offerings symbolizes many fundamental precepts of man’s responsibilities to himself and his Creator.
The first type of animal offering is the Olah, or Elevation Offering, which is completely consumed on the Altar. This represents the uniting of the soul with G-d. Just as the animal’s body is united with the flames, so too is man’s eternal soul united with G-d after death. This offering demonstrates that our sole purpose is to devote ourselves completely to the service of G-d. Since it symbolizes man’s Divinely-created non-physical soul, material man has no share in it and cannot partake of it
The second type of offering is the Sin Offering. This offering functions as one aspect of the atonement process that is required of one who transgresses Torah commandments. It encourages the transgressor to be more vigilant and to consider the consequences of his actions. It functions as a monetary fine as well, since the transgressor must provide the animal. Even if one is unsure whether he transgressed he still must bring an offering. The procedures of the offering differ for unintentional transgressions committed by the High Court or the High Priest, as their positions involve greater responsibility.
The third type of offering is the Peace Offering, which is brought by people who are thanking G-d for His numerous favors — for granting us the Land of Israel and for other acts of miraculous Divine intervention. It can represent gratitude for a past favor or act as a way of beseeching G-d to help us in the future. A festive meal is part of the offering. The one who brings the animal and the priests who conduct the rituals are allowed to consume part of the offering as they all join in thanking G-d for His blessings. The internal organs are burned on the Altar, as they are symbols of man’s internal thoughts. It is as if the owner is saying that he is pouring out his inner soul before G-d.
All of these offerings always consist of the most expensive animals: cattle, sheep and goats. They are also accompanied by the finest wheat flour, oils and wines. Here the Torah is emphasizing that the finest products of Israel depend on G-d’s blessing.
In summary, the Elevation Offering is ideological in nature. It symbolizes the immortality of the soul and its intimate connection with G-d. The Sin Offerings teach the importance of personal vigilance and accountability, the just reward for those who fear and worship G-d and the punishment for those who defy Him. At the same time, it is essential for that person to understand that his sins can be pardoned. Otherwise, there is the possibility that he will lapse even more. Finally, the Peace Offerings illustrate our faith in Divine providence, in our recognition that G-d is the ultimate source of our material blessings.

In December 2019, Professor Kurt Paulsen received an email from an old contact at Thirty Tigers. This is the company that represents Trampled By Turtles, a beloved bluegrass/folk-rock band from Duluth. In 2013, Kurt worked with several students to make a music video for TbT. Due to the success of the last video (now at over a million views and 4,500 likes) Thirty Tigers was looking for another video to promote the solo debut of Dave Simonett (lead singer of TbT). The timeline was aggressive and there were a number of logistical obstacles, but the answer on our end was an immediate yes.
A cross-disciplinary group of students was quickly assembled to take on the project for college credit in a special topics class. The group ranged from freshmen to seniors and included students representing three majors:
Media Arts: Alec Mueller, Anya Schroeder, Caleb Schilling, Franklin Selvey, and Samantha Pollard
Studio Art: Mindy Pitzner
Graphic Design: Lex Wencl
This student group had less than three months to create the video for Dave Simonett’s single By the Light of the Moon. They wanted to follow the success of the first video with another stop motion piece, and their plan was ambitious. To help bring their vision to life before the fast approaching deadline, students from Jason Jaspersen’s 3D Design class assisted in set design and set building. Take a look at the final video, which was released in late March:
The video was included in a Rolling Stone article about Simonett’s solo album. It was mentioned as “a stop-motion music video that swells with emotion.” While the writing is the foundation for that emotional punch, the feeling is deepened by the beautiful set and character design and intensified by the lighting and camera movement. We are so proud of what the students achieved in each area of this production, and are excited that it can now be shared!
This project embodies so much of what we’re trying to do in the media arts department, which is a place where filmmakers, artists, and designers come together to make things. To close this write-up, here are some thoughts from a few of the students who eloquently describe their collaborative experiences on this positive and inspirational creative team:

By understanding the manufacturing process and key features of popular replica handbag brands, buyers can make more informed decisions. It is crucial to scrutinize sellers,
louis vuitton outlet read customer reviews, and utilize secure payment methods for added protection against scams. Ultimately, buyers should consider their priorities and assess whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks when purchasing wholesale replica handbags. Replica handbags have become increasingly popular in the fashion market, and the wholesale replica handbags industry has grown significantly as a result.
Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, and Hermes are among the top names in the industry. They offer a wide range of designs and styles that closely resemble their original counterparts. Fashion enthusiasts can enjoy the luxurious look and feel of these replica handbags at a fraction of the price.
In fashion, counterfeit goods are known as knock offs. These counterfeit goods are usually sold on markets and street corners. I purchased 5 bags and pay with Western Union, but one of them has sold out, and then the seller do the different refund back to me with Western Union.
It seems the local police do nothing more than scare them off as they move to the next block & lay their products out again. It's illegal because they are stealing the brand name of someone else. Companies try to make their brands stand for something (style, quality, durability). Knockoff items not only affect a company's sales, they can undermine the brand. Not every woman out there can afford to spend $1,500 and upwards for a tote bag or any bag.
Alcoholic beverages with 24% alcohol or less are not subject to limitations in checked bags. Musical instruments must undergo screening when transported as carry-on or in checked baggage. Musical instruments transported as carry-on require a physical inspection at the security checkpoint. Inform the TSA officer if your instrument requires special care and handling. I strongly recommand, true to pictures, very very Nice replica, I Will surely re order!
So i'd really like to know if any of you guys know of any forums such as this that deals with handbags. If the bags are counterfeit, even if you bought them for your personal use and not to resell them, they are contraband and you have no lawful claim to them. Instead of spending too much money on a bunch of accessories that will go out of style soon anyway, you can use knockoff items that will work no matter what the occasion is. Designers are prolific with their creation of clothing and accessories, which means you would have to spend thousands of dollars just to keep up with the latest items. I've got a lot of replicas from them and it gave me more reason to believe that they're truly the best replica website online.

Adding slots to an utterance is simple, but how do you make them come to life? This article will discuss how to identify a slot, create a new slot type, and alter the payout percentage of a slot machine. In addition, you’ll learn how to make your own slot machine sounds and games. Let’s start! Here are some examples. But don’t forget: slots don’t always pay out! There are other uses for slots, too.
Identifying a slot
Identifying a slot is an important cognitive skill. It refers to a certain feature that the speaker of a speech is known to have. For example, a slot may indicate a short sleeve or any other characteristic. Slots can be of two types, static and dynamic. If you know what each type of slot means, you can recognize the appropriate word in a specific situation. Learn more about the different types of slots to use in speech recognition software.
Creating a slot type
Creating a slot type in Vue is just like creating a content type in WordPress. The key difference between creating a content type and creating a slot is its name attribute. You can use regular expressions to map flight numbers to specific slot types, or you can use regex patterns to match words in utterances. After you have created your slot type, you can use it in your application. But, before you begin, you’ll need to know how to create a template.
Changing the payout percentage of a slot machine
Changing the payout percentage of a slot is an option available to slot manufacturers. The procedure depends on the manufacturer and the machine’s software, which is typically stored on an EPROM. Other types of electronic memory, such as NVRAM, CD-ROM, and DVDs, may also store the software. This process requires a lot of time, and some jurisdictions, like New Jersey, will require the manufacturer to have a gaming control board official present during the adjustment.
Adding slots to an utterance
When defining utterances in R, one can add slots to represent different types of information. The slots represent a specific piece of information, such as the type of sleeve that a speaker has or the number of rooms in a building. There are two different types of slots: predefined ones and custom ones. Adding slots to an utterance makes it possible to map a custom value to a word.
Adding slots to a web component
Adding slots to a web component is a common pattern that enables you to control content that is placed in a web component. The slot element fires an event when its content changes. This event does not contain any useful data, but it’s purely for observability. Knowing when the content changes allows you to implement simple tricks or do more complex work. You can update the listeners to the event.

At Christmas time there was a man who looked so out of place,
As people rushed about him at a hurried sort of pace.
He stared at all the Christmas lights, the tinsel everywhere,
The shopping mall, Santa Claus, with children gathered near.
The mall was packed with shoppers who were going to and fro,
some with smiles and some with frowns and some too tired to go.
They rested on the benches or they hurried on their way,
to fight the crowd for purchases to carry home that day.
The music from a stereo was playing loud and clear,
of Santa Claus and snowmen and funny-nosed reindeer.
He heard the people talk about the good times on the way,
of parties, fun and food galore and gifts exchanged that day.
“I’d like to know what’s going on.” the man was heard to say,
“There seems to be some sort of celebration on the way.”
“And would you tell me who this is, all dressed in red and white?
“And why are children asking him about a special night?
The answer came in disbelief, “I can’t believe my ear.”
“I can’t believe that you don’t know that Christmas time is here.
“The time when Santa Claus comes around with gifts for girls and boys,
“When they’re asleep on Christmas Eve, he leaves them books and toys.
“The man you see in red and white is Santa Claus, so sly,
“The children love his joyful laugh and twinkle in his eye.
“His gift-packed sleigh is pulled along by very small reindeer,
“As he flies quickly through the air, while darting there and here.
“The children learn of Santa Claus while they are still quite small,
“When Christmas comes he is the most important one of all!”
The Stranger hung his head in shame, he closed a nail-pierced hand,
His body shook in disbelief, he did not understand.
A shadow crossed his stricken face, his voice was low but clear:
After all these years, they still don’t know ……. ”
And Jesus shed a tear.

Multiple award-winning film director, Obi Emelonye has completed work on a new television series, ‘Crazy, Lovely, Cool’.
The production, whose trailer is currently trending on You Tube, was shot on the campus of University of Nigeria Nsukka and stars renowned actors like Enyinna Nwigwe, Adesua Etomi, Uru Eke, Zynell Zuh, Anthony Monjaro and Lorenzo Menakaya.
Deriving its title from the emotions and moods synonymous with activities on campuses, the series is hour-long in duration and was shot in conjunction with Trace TV.
Packed with comedy, romance and valour, ‘Crazy, Lovely, Cool’ brings to the fore the Emelonye’s signature of quality while exploring the intrigues of adolescent life as witnessed through the eyes of university undergraduates and their lecturers in a typical African university.
The series which is equally soaked in music is however not about renowned faces and names in the Nigerian film industry as it also showcases an array of talented artistes who have been tested and confirmed.
This fact aside, ‘Crazy, Lovely, Cool’ is also re-awakening the hour-long TV series culture, which has lately taken a back seat for thirty-minute productions.
On the other hand, industry analysts who have seen some scenes in the production said the high technical details, from picture quality, story line to acting skills exhibited in the series will clearly give ‘Crazy, Lovely, Cool’ a mileage ahead of its contemporaries.
It will be recalled that aside using a technical crew from United Kingdom, the producers spared no resources in making sure that the entire production team was camped together for three months to avoid disruptions in recording.
“We did not want any distractions or disruptions, so we had to bear the cost to do that, because recent revelations have shown that such interruptions affect quality of production”, said Gordon Irole, one of the production coordinators at the location.
