A while back my {"carpet man" for 40+ years} Dad had a sample of this cove base (it's the stuff that goes around the bottom of a wall...kind of like a baseboard...that you would see in doctor's offices, stores, etc) lying around his store. Since he wasn't needing it anymore, he asked me if I wanted it for Quinn. And, since it was so fun and colorful, I took it. But, I haven't used it much! I thought about writing letters on it, but he has plenty of other things that teach him his letters! ...So, yesterday, we sorted them by color families...and then Matt had the great idea to have Q match his trains to them! It was fun and Q did great! ...But, I'm needing MORE IDEAS! ...So, here's the deal!!!...Give me an idea...WHAT FUN THING COULD I DO WITH THIS STUFF? ... And, sometime next week, if you gave me an idea, I'll put your name in a drawing and the winner will get their own set! Can't wait to hear your ideas! :) Memories by ThePoeFam at 9:06 AM Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: Giveaway 7 comments: Kelli said... In each color family he could learn shading and sort them darkest to lightest or the other way! What a great activity! 10:07 AM The Prosper Russells said... you could get a big bulletin board or foam board and have him pick the colors that are his favs , thenaffix them to the board and go through magazines and have him find pictures of things that are the same color, cut them out - then make a game of matching them up :) 10:20 AM Andrew said... write scriptures on them. 10:40 AM Mary said... My little man likes to sort our letters and numbers so I'd write the alphabet and numbers 1-10...not very creative but in our house that would be a hit and he would learn so much ! 10:51 AM Tiffany said... Make smaller sets of them (is this possible?) When you are out at the store, driving around town, eating out, have him match his colors to things he sees out. My son turned 2 in February and he cooperates with me so much better out in public if we "play" this game! 11:13 AM annalee said... use an exact-o knife to cut out a different shape in each one. keep the shapes in a ziplock and pull them out at restaurants, etc. for quinn to match the shape to the correct cut-out where it fits. 3:40 PM Rains Family said... Get some large zip lock bags and hang the colors on each of them. Then have a scavenger hunt around the house to find items that are the same color that can go in each bag. Great for vocabulary, sorting, and of course some higher level thinking (o: 10:01 PM Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) Hello! Welcome to our little blog.

One of the last human survivors, you find yourself stranded on an uninhabited island. With a few other victims of the crash, can you craft, mine, and build your way to survival? Aground was designed around the theme of Progression, and inspired by Utopian Mining and other mining/crafting games. You start out with almost nothing, and you can eventually build your way up to a thriving settlement. Currently, you can only explore and build on the first few islands, but we have lots of plans for expansion, and the sky is literally not the limit. We’re continuing updates in Early Access as we add more content and the first spaceship! We’re planning to continue developing Aground based on feedback and suggestions from players, so definitely send me a message or post in our subreddit or discord to determine the course of this game. For players who want to play on multiple computers/versions of the game: Save files can be exported from the Options menu on the title page and imported by dragging and dropping the save file into the game. Controls Controls are explained in game, and it can be played with keyboard or gamepad. The mouse can also be used to navigate menus (but is not required). April 12, 2020 Co-op Multiplayer is Live & Launch Date! The Multiplayer BETA test is now over, and anyone can host or join multiplayer games! We are also planning on transitioning to full release on April 17th, and we made a new trailer to celebrate the launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia0Rk-73OFQ !

Changelog: http://redd.it/e1llyb October 25, 2019 Update 1.8.6 - Unnature Sanctuary and More! The first of the backer planets is out, along with a bunch of “quality of life” improvements to the game!

OTHER ARTICLES ACCOUNT-BASED ANALYTICS How to Create an Effective AI Marketing Strategy? Article | December 6, 2021 Introduction The application of AI marketing technology is picking up pace because of its many advantages. According to a 2020 Deloitte survey, 74% of AI adopters agree that AI will be a part of all their enterprise applications by 2023. What does an AI-based marketing strategy look like, and how do you make the most of it? This article gets into the nitty-gritty of AI marketing technology and how to implement it in ABM so you can maximize your business performance and outputs. AI’s Role in Marketing Thanks to its accuracy, B2C businesses use AI marketing technology to target their customers with product or service recommendations. The following are some use cases of AI-based B2C marketing: Personalization AI helps businesses with their 1-to-1 marketing strategies by personalizing their content to cater to every segment. Event Communication Emails informing customers of upcoming sales, special access, or exciting offers are sent out via AI technology. Weekend offer emailers, special discount codes, and new product updates are a result of event communication automation so that customers can be informed before time about upcoming events. Real-time Content Trending topics, investments, event promotions, webinars, customer feedback, product availability, bestselling combo, weather reports, and new blog post updates are provided in real-time to maintain an active connection with customers. Businesses do this by using the ‘open time content’ AI technology. Manually executing 1-to-1 marketing strategies is nearly impossible, impractical, and does not see much success. AI helps streamline these strategies and executes them effortlessly. What Goes into Creating an Effective ABM Strategy? For an ABM strategy to work, businesses need to follow these steps: Preparing for the ABM Strategy Organizational readiness is crucial for implementing ABM. Make sure you have a budget and an achievable timeline to execute the strategy, team members who can anchor it, and an understanding of ABM metrics so you can make the most of it. Synergy Between Marketing and Sales Teams Your sales and marketing teams should be in sync and not at loggerheads due to account-level communication issues. Discussing the benefits of ABM with both the teams beforehand and coming to a strategic agreement to implement ABM can help them align their goals while executing the ABM strategy. Identifying Target Segments Your ABM strategy can do wonders for your business only if you have a precise segmentation of data. Use dimensions like business size, annual revenue, current spending, projected spending, targeted products, geography, open opportunities, closed opportunities, etc., to identify your target segments. Zeroing-in on a Priority Having a clear priority helps you streamline your ABM strategy. It should either be acquisition (acquiring new accounts), retention (retaining existing accounts), or expansion (expanding the scope of accounts). Without a clear priority, any ABM strategy may not yield expected results because the efforts won’t be concentrated towards a single goal. Leveraging AI in ABM Strategy In an interview with Media 7, Daniel Englebretson, founder of Khronos, spoke about AI’s impact on the future of ABM. “From my perspective, B2B marketers have faced countless challenges that have formed the basis of new technology – problem brings a solution. I expect AI will solve identity resolution, resolve data challenges, and enhance targeting. I expect AI will address 1:1 content at scale, unlocking the rapid deployment of 1:1 brand experiences.” Introducing AI into your ABM strategy can help you in the following way: Content Personalization Once you know your customer’s pain points and interests, you can focus on providing them personalized solutions, products, or services they desire. Of course, personalizing content is complex, but AI makes it easier by offering the technological capacity to deliver what your customer wants. Efficient Resource Management Without customer profiling, an ABM strategy cannot achieve the expected output. AI can assist with data crawling the internet to find out important customer information. Also, it segments data acquired from CRM, which gives you more information about a customer than any other generic data. This data is helpful for lead qualification and creating heavily personalized content for a customer. Since AI does all the heavy lifting, you can allocate your resources to building and nurturing a relationship with the customer. Automation AI-based marketing in ABM generates automated insights for lead generation. It also highlights campaign performance related to specific, high-value accounts and suggests steps to engage a prospect. Digital marketing and automation are a dynamic duo where AI brings about intelligent marketing automation. Efficient email campaigns are run when executed by automation. Email marketing companies like MailChimp target customers based on insights to achieve more conversions. When AI and big data use CRM data, large chunks of user information can be collected from different platforms. This information can help with formulating a successful ABM strategy. ABM Optimization and Predictive Insights To analyze intent, AI processes data in real-time and gives predictive insights to help with ABM optimization. As a result, it is easier to merge data from different sources with AI-enabled tools, achieve predictive analysis, manage recommendations in real-time, and understand competitor strategies through social media. AI can also interpret images correctly. Enhancing Communications Use AI for building a strong relationship with your customer. Personalizing communication by using customer data can be easily achieved with AI. What Is the Future of AI-enabled ABM Strategy? ABM, with an AI marketing strategy, has a bright future ahead of it. Demandbase recently conducted a survey in which they found that 80% of marketers had plans to integrate AI into their ABM marketing strategy. Another survey conducted by MarketingProfs concluded that businesses that used AI in their ABM strategies had 59% higher closing rates as compared to others. They saw a 58% increase in their revenue and a 52% increase in their conversions. Ways Salesforce's AI Einstein Aided U.S. Bank in Growing Revenue The U.S. bank used Salesforce’s sales cloud AI, Einstein, to boost their revenue. Their lead conversion rate increased 2.35 times after implementing Einstein. They were able to create a model to predict lead conversion. They did this by using Einstein to search through customized historical lead data. “We work to build high-quality, personalized relationships between our customers and their financial advisors or commercial bankers. There is nothing that replaces that person-to-person interaction. What AI allows us to do is augment that relationship. We can provide our teams with better data and smarter insights, which helps them establish stronger relationships.” – Srini Nallasivan, Chief Analytics Officer, U.S. Bank Summing It Up AI-based marketing can enhance your ABM strategy only if qualitative data is available. Therefore, businesses will need to have clear marketing goals and turn data into an asset. FAQs What Are the Challenges in the AI-based ABM Strategy? Managing, protecting, and enriching data obtained from CRM and other customer support systems can be challenging. How Can AI Help in Strengthening Your ABM Strategy? AI helps with personalizing content, automation, ABM optimization, and providing predictive insights for lead conversion. What Does a Strong AI-based ABM Strategy Do for Your Business? A strong AI-based ABM strategy helps with account profiling, analytics, reporting and hyper-individualized content, which leads to increased lead conversion. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What Are the Challenges in the AI-based ABM Strategy?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Managing, protecting, and enriching data obtained from CRM and other customer support systems can be challenging." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How Can AI Help in Strengthening Your ABM Strategy?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "AI helps with personalizing content, automation, ABM optimization, and providing predictive insights for lead conversion." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What Does a Strong AI-based ABM Strategy Do for Your Business?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A strong AI-based ABM strategy helps with account profiling, analytics, reporting and hyper-individualized content, which leads to increased lead conversion." } }] } Read More TARGETED ACCOUNT STRATEGY ABM Implementation in Different Target Segments Article | November 26, 2021 Have you browsed about account-based marketing and how successful it has proved for businesses? Do you wonder whether your business fits in the ABM strategy? And even if you practice ABM, what is to be done differently for your business? Well, we have answers to all your questions. As Clive Armitage, CEO at Agent3, said,“We have to act as the eyes and ears of marketing innovation for our clients; they trust us to help them navigate the pace of change in the way that the process of marketing is evolving.” Thus, your marketing and sales team should be on the same page to deliver an excellent and personalized customer experience. The implementation of ABM in different industries may be different but the challenges faced are somewhat the same. The baisc challenge for ABM are personalization and quality content. So, let us dig deeper into how ABM works for different industry segments. And also focus on how each industry should strategize for successful account-based marketing. How Is ABM Different for Different Industries? Every company has different products to sell to various companies. Also, if you sell the same product to distinct companies, you need a unique tactic for every organization. Account-based marketing is crafting such individual approaches for every client that matters. For example, if you are an advertising company and you need a luxury car brand account, your ABM strategy will be different for different car brands. It can also be designed differently for every decision-maker. Thus, you have to be very focused and delicately plan strategies for the target account. Apart from the people you target, also keep in mind the industry segment that you target. It will help to align strategies with both brands. Now let us discuss some different types of ABM strategies that work for distinct industry segments. Types of ABM Strategies (with Real-time Examples) ABM is a beneficial strategy for all types of companies. But it works wonders for organizations that target large companies who have relatively long sales cycles. According to the State of Account-Based Revenue Engine 2019 report, organizations saw a whooping 91% improved ROI post-ABM implementation. Hence, let us see how different ABM strategies have their way of working. Events Events have proved to be the most successful of all the ABM strategies. Once target clients accept the personalized invites to the events, the sales team can easily have in-person meetings. Also, a souvenir, gift, or a creative way of a follow-up meeting should be an incorporated strategy of the event. Example: Thomas Reuters is an organization that provides news and information tools for professionals. Their challenge was retention and expansion with their key accounts. Thus, they created an event opportunity for these accounts. In these events, the top executives of the exclusive accounts could speak. And Thomas Reuters would quote them in whitepapers, blogs, and more. It ensured that the sales team would be in contact with the key accounts all year round. Thus, it increased retention and built good relations. Webinars A webinar is an option when the physical presence of clients at a similar geographical location is not possible. But a webinar allows curating a more personalized experience and at convenient times with less utility of resources. Example: HotJar Lightning Talks conference is a webinar hosted by HotJar. This webinar gives the speaker maximum of five minutes to address a particular topic. Thus, no long presentation but just a short glimpse of informative or marketing strategies. Businesses participate in the webinar to present the challenges and solutions to their prospective clients. Thus, HotJar had many B2B clients participating in the conference and, the idea became a big hit! Direct Mails Gifts, marketing material, and creative packages sent through direct mail are a success in ABM. However, account-based marketing requires personalization and direct mail is the best tactic to deliver that. Example: Billing Tree is a technology-driven payment processing organization. It faced the challenge of scheduling meetings with the targeted accounts. Thus, they mailed 100 locked cases secured with two combinations of padlocks. These cases contained US$ 100 Amazon gift cards. Billing Tree gave the combination once they got the appointment with the account. And once the client opened the case, the lid had a video player embedded in it that played the video pitch for the account. Billing Tree generated an account engagement rate of 60% with the ABM strategy of direct mail. Advertising Personalized advertising has become an easy thing, thanks to IP targeting and re-targeting technology. It allows you to target the big fishes rather than the traditional wide net fishing. Example: DocuSign is an eSignature transaction management and solution provider company. It wanted to generate more traffic and click-through rates to form gated content. The company executed personalized ad campaigns to the target accounts that contained industry-specific images, content, and peer logos. And with detailed web analytics, they targeted the accounts at specific times. This personalized ads ABM strategy boosted DocuSign’s age views by 300% with a massive conversion rate! Personalized Website Experience Technology these days has expanded its horizons to provide incredible experiences, and personalized website experience is one of those. Once you get the technicalities right, your target accounts can have an out-of-the-world personalized experience when they visit the desired page or the website. Example: Savi provides sensor analytics solutions for organizations. Their main client bases are the ones that give critical decisions based on the location and status of people. Thus, Savi has to deal with private and government organizations. Therefore, as a part of specific marketing and sales strategy, they personalized their home pages differently for different clients. Thus, when government organizations the homepage was: And for the corporates, the page was: Ways to Implement ABM According to the 2020 State of ABM Report, 94.2% of respondents have successfully implemented this marketing strategy. Thus, you too can implement account-based marketing with these simple steps. Identify your high-value clients. Conduct extensive research on those clients. Strategize your personalized ABM campaigns. Implement the account-based marketing strategy. Analyze the campaign regularly. Importance of Personalization Personalization is a crucial part of account-based marketing. Your extensive research about the clients helps you craft unique, creative, and personalized content for them. A personalized experience ensures an enriched and engaging customer experience. If a campaign exclusively provides solutions to pain points, clients become customers for life. It also helps to develop good relations. Remember, account-based marketing is not only about conversions but also about creating brand awareness and relationships. As Andy Bacon, VP Consulting at Momentum, has quoted, “ABM is all about building better quality relationships; the ROI will follow.” Frequently Asked Questions Do different industries need different account-based marketing strategies? The meaning of account-based marketing is to provide tailored solutions to exclusive clients. So yes, different industries will require different ABM strategies. One should use distinct and personalized approaches to target different people of the same organization. However, you have to ensure that the marketing message is the same for all, despite the personalization. What are the different types of account-based marketing methods? The different types to implement ABM strategies are: Events Webinars Direct Mails Advertising Personalized Website Experience Social Media What role does personalization play in ABM? ABM is all about personalization. The more personalized your content is, the more likely the chances are for conversion. Imagine someone selling you a product designed just for solving your problems. You do not even need convincing if it is the answer to all your pain points. That is the same way in which ABM works. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Do different industries need different account-based marketing strategies?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The meaning of account-based marketing is to provide tailored solutions to exclusive clients.

Some people express their excitement, while some are really good at hiding it. But inquisitiveness and curiosity are natural feelings. Imagine building up these feelings in the mind of the decision-makers of businesses that you are targeting. So, yes, you will stand out in the crowd and, they will notice the gesture, no matter how small or big it is! Coming back to the point, we are talking about the strategy of direct mails in account-based marketing. This strategy has proved to be a success for many organizations practicing ABM. So what exactly is direct mail in ABM and, are there any successful ways or ideal examples to follow? Let us see in detail. What Is Direct Mail in ABM? We are aware that account-based marketing is a strategy that involves targeting, personalization and conversions. But what happens when we make tangibility a part of the above process? Well, the results are impressive. An Infotrends report stated that the e-mail response rate increased from 7.5% to 9.5% with a multi-channel ABM strategy. But, the biggest challenges of ABM are delivering a personalized customer experience, choosing the target accounts, and deciding on the correct content. Thus, direct mail can help you deal with the challenge of delivering a personalized customer experience. A direct mail strategy delivers personalized objects, messages, and more to the targeted organization’s decision-makers. The best part about direct mail is that you can get as creative as you want. Plus, it ensures that the top team notices your efforts. “Direct mail is the new black in B2B. There is nothing more personalized than a handwritten note with a personalized direct mail that is fully customized for your prospect or customer.” - Sangram Vajre, CMO of Terminus. Let us have a look at the best ways to incorporate direct mail in your ABM strategy. Ideas to Implement Direct Mail in ABM Remember, no matter what personalized goodies you plan to send to the concerned people, ensure that: You have a bold, clear, and obvious call to action. Your message is short, simple, and direct. Your strategy should be less is more. You have added the extra personal touch in your mail. Once you have devised the direct mail strategy, here are some things that you need to keep in mind before implementation. Determine the Stage in the Buyer’s Journey Before sending direct mail to your target account, know where they stand in their buyer’s journey. Let us consider these three stages. Awareness Stage If your buyer is in the awareness stage, you need to target all the organization’s decision-makers. Sending them goodies that get them together might be a good idea. For example: Send a box with a personalized message about your company to one and send the key to another. Or you could gift puzzles pieces to each one that needs them to come together to decode the message. Demo Stage Congrats! If you reached the demo stage with the target account. Now, if you’re finding it difficult to set an appointment with them, use direct mail to get their attention. For example: Send them a box with a clock ticking and a surprise to be opened at some given time. As if a demo can be scheduled at that time and claim the gift! 2.1.3 Final Stage You have closed the deal and are all ready to start the dealings. But some small things seemed to be stuck from the buyer’s end. This is where your research will prove handy. You need the search for a particular likeness about the decision-maker and lure them. It will help you get their attention and close all the pending work. For example: Send them a password-protected gadget and, they can access that only after the deal is complete. 2.2 Know the Decision-makers It is an essential aspect in determining the direct mail that you need to send. You should be well aware of the receiver's likes, dislikes, hobbies, and personal traits. Thus, use social media and everything possible from the sales team to create the best effect. Determine the Factors for Conversion Lastly, when the package opens, it should immediately connect to the individual. Thus, when you design or assemble the package, ensure that it connects immediately. Moreover, it should address the pain points and challenges and align with the company’s goals. Thus, determine the factors that directly affect them and, you will provide the best solutions. For example: If you are a hiring agency, give them a complete puzzle with just one piece missing. And a couple of options for the missing piece. Once they fit the right piece in, your puzzle says, “Having trouble finding the right person, we will help your hire!” And ensure that you send a personalized note to every individual along with the common goal of the message. Benefits of B2B Direct Mail Marketing No doubt, personalization will elevate your direct mail strategy, thus promising enhanced customer involvement. But there are other prominent benefits of B2B direct mail marketing. Lets us have a glance at them. Higher account engagement Less wastage of resources Higher win rate Shorter sales cycles Create strong connections The improved success rate of ABM strategy Ideal Examples of Direct Mail in ABM Some organizations have nailed it correctly when it comes to direct mail marketing. Here are a few examples. The Perry Process (Image Courtesy: Pinterest) The Perry Process is a renowned company that deals with used machinery and equipment for 80 years and continues to do. Thus, it wanted manufacturing companies to sell their unwanted and excess equipment in return for cash.

To know more about these steps, you can read six hard-hitting lessons for the ABM strategy. This article will talk about the best and correct ways to implement ABM plans with examples. But first, let us briefly inform you about ABM and how it works. Brief Introduction to ABM Account-based marketing is a marketing strategy implemented by B2B marketers to concentrate on their exclusive clients. First, the sales and marketing team collaborates to collect the maximum data about specific clients. Then these clients are targeted with personalized marketing campaigns on various platforms. Thus, account-based marketing allows you to utilize your workforce and resources efficiently. It also helps to market your products to a handful of customers who have a 90% chance of conversion. Now, let us see the correct ways to implement ABM for various B2B industries. Ways to Implement ABM Plans with Examples We have specifically chosen the four best ways to implement ABM in B2B marketing strategy. These are the core strategies that have worked for B2B and are sure to work for you too. But first, look at these wise words from Maliha Aqeel, Director of Global Communications at Fix Network World. 'One of the most common mistakes companies make is implementing a brand strategy that isn’t aligned to the organization’s overall business goal.' So before implementing any marketing plan, ensure that your brand strategy, marketing campaigns, and everything else aligns with the overall business goals. Identify Exclusive Accounts It is the root of your ABM strategy. Your fruits of labor will be decided by the correct places you plant these roots. So basically, when you are filtering your clients/customers for ABM, here are the key factors to be kept in mind; Choose the correct industry. Know the size of the organization. Identify the needs, challenges, and pain points of the organization. Know the timelines and hierarchy of their decision-making process. The answers to these questions will help you to recognize the target accounts precisely. Example: Vidyard is a video platform that helps businesses transform communications and drive more revenue through the strategic use of online video. It collaborated with SmartBug Media to change the video experience for users worldwide. Thus, they can target the correct customers on Hubspot. In addition, they help customers to make videos an integrated part of their marketing campaigns and other processes. Craft Tailored Content Every filtered account for ABM will have unique needs, demands, challenges, and pain points. Thus, you have to craft content to address the customers directly. They should instantly recognize that you understand them and have built solutions exclusively for their challenges. You should also be ready with different content for different stages of the buying journey. And remember to design content for customers even after they convert. It helps you to be ready for the retention stage. Like Mark Emond, Founder and President at Demand Spring quotes; “Content is at the heart of great marketing today. It needs to educate, inspire, and convert. It must be tied to the unique rational and emotional needs of each target persona.” Example: Intridea executed an excellent content strategy to target the advertising giant Ogilvy. First, they rented a billboard right across Ogilvy’s Manhattan office. The billboard said, “Ogle this, Ogilvy.” Intridea also placed its logo and company URL at the bottom of the quirky line. This exclusive content got them an appointment with Ogilvy’s CEO! Use Marketing Automation Tools There are various personalization tools available to assist you in ABM. These tools provide centralized data collection and data analysis. They also coordinate your marketing campaigns across all platforms. Example: Growsteak is a Vietnamese company that provides advertising and digital marketing solutions. However, it faced several challenges like lead generation and competitor analysis. Thus, they incorporated Hubspot’s Partner Program. It not only helped them overcome their challenges but also generated 5,166% more leads overall. Measure the KPIs You need to measure the metrics once you implement ABM. It is one of the essential factors of a successful ABM strategy. However, these metrics are different from traditional marketing. Thus, you need to keep a hawk’s eye on them. Some of the KPIs to consider are; Is the current coverage of key clients sufficient and, is it growing? Are there known or anonymous visits to your site? Have they increased? Is the incoming traffic getting converted? How much is the depth of engagement? Has the strategy made it easy to get appointments of the target accounts? Wrapping Up The success of account-based marketing depends on research and personalization. The more effort you put in to know your clients, the closer you get to convert them. Thus, make use of the abundant data and accurately target your potential customers! Frequently Asked Questions Is ABM more successful than traditional marketing? Yes. Compared to traditional marketing methods, ABM has proved to create wonders and save a lot on time, resources and workforce. It has also guaranteed a better success and conversion rate for the sales and marketing teams. How important is personalization in marketing? Personalization plays a prominent role in ABM. A trust factor builts if you can address the challenges and pain points of the client with personalized solutions. Also, personalization ensures a higher rate of getting appointments and conversions of the targeted accounts. Can SMBs also implement ABM? Of course. SMBs have a higher chance of growing if they plan their marketing strategy along with ABM. It will allow them to understand the market and their customers from the very beginning.

Article | December 6, 2021 Introduction The application of AI marketing technology is picking up pace because of its many advantages. According to a 2020 Deloitte survey, 74% of AI adopters agree that AI will be a part of all their enterprise applications by 2023. What does an AI-based marketing strategy look like, and how do you make the most of it? This article gets into the nitty-gritty of AI marketing technology and how to implement it in ABM so you can maximize your business performance and outputs. AI’s Role in Marketing Thanks to its accuracy, B2C businesses use AI marketing technology to target their customers with product or service recommendations. The following are some use cases of AI-based B2C marketing: Personalization AI helps businesses with their 1-to-1 marketing strategies by personalizing their content to cater to every segment. Event Communication Emails informing customers of upcoming sales, special access, or exciting offers are sent out via AI technology. Weekend offer emailers, special discount codes, and new product updates are a result of event communication automation so that customers can be informed before time about upcoming events. Real-time Content Trending topics, investments, event promotions, webinars, customer feedback, product availability, bestselling combo, weather reports, and new blog post updates are provided in real-time to maintain an active connection with customers. Businesses do this by using the ‘open time content’ AI technology. Manually executing 1-to-1 marketing strategies is nearly impossible, impractical, and does not see much success. AI helps streamline these strategies and executes them effortlessly. What Goes into Creating an Effective ABM Strategy? For an ABM strategy to work, businesses need to follow these steps: Preparing for the ABM Strategy Organizational readiness is crucial for implementing ABM. Make sure you have a budget and an achievable timeline to execute the strategy, team members who can anchor it, and an understanding of ABM metrics so you can make the most of it. Synergy Between Marketing and Sales Teams Your sales and marketing teams should be in sync and not at loggerheads due to account-level communication issues. Discussing the benefits of ABM with both the teams beforehand and coming to a strategic agreement to implement ABM can help them align their goals while executing the ABM strategy. Identifying Target Segments Your ABM strategy can do wonders for your business only if you have a precise segmentation of data. Use dimensions like business size, annual revenue, current spending, projected spending, targeted products, geography, open opportunities, closed opportunities, etc., to identify your target segments. Zeroing-in on a Priority Having a clear priority helps you streamline your ABM strategy. It should either be acquisition (acquiring new accounts), retention (retaining existing accounts), or expansion (expanding the scope of accounts). Without a clear priority, any ABM strategy may not yield expected results because the efforts won’t be concentrated towards a single goal. Leveraging AI in ABM Strategy In an interview with Media 7, Daniel Englebretson, founder of Khronos, spoke about AI’s impact on the future of ABM. “From my perspective, B2B marketers have faced countless challenges that have formed the basis of new technology – problem brings a solution. I expect AI will solve identity resolution, resolve data challenges, and enhance targeting. I expect AI will address 1:1 content at scale, unlocking the rapid deployment of 1:1 brand experiences.” Introducing AI into your ABM strategy can help you in the following way: Content Personalization Once you know your customer’s pain points and interests, you can focus on providing them personalized solutions, products, or services they desire. Of course, personalizing content is complex, but AI makes it easier by offering the technological capacity to deliver what your customer wants. Efficient Resource Management Without customer profiling, an ABM strategy cannot achieve the expected output. AI can assist with data crawling the internet to find out important customer information. Also, it segments data acquired from CRM, which gives you more information about a customer than any other generic data. This data is helpful for lead qualification and creating heavily personalized content for a customer. Since AI does all the heavy lifting, you can allocate your resources to building and nurturing a relationship with the customer. Automation AI-based marketing in ABM generates automated insights for lead generation. It also highlights campaign performance related to specific, high-value accounts and suggests steps to engage a prospect. Digital marketing and automation are a dynamic duo where AI brings about intelligent marketing automation. Efficient email campaigns are run when executed by automation. Email marketing companies like MailChimp target customers based on insights to achieve more conversions. When AI and big data use CRM data, large chunks of user information can be collected from different platforms. This information can help with formulating a successful ABM strategy. ABM Optimization and Predictive Insights To analyze intent, AI processes data in real-time and gives predictive insights to help with ABM optimization. As a result, it is easier to merge data from different sources with AI-enabled tools, achieve predictive analysis, manage recommendations in real-time, and understand competitor strategies through social media. AI can also interpret images correctly. Enhancing Communications Use AI for building a strong relationship with your customer. Personalizing communication by using customer data can be easily achieved with AI. What Is the Future of AI-enabled ABM Strategy? ABM, with an AI marketing strategy, has a bright future ahead of it. Demandbase recently conducted a survey in which they found that 80% of marketers had plans to integrate AI into their ABM marketing strategy. Another survey conducted by MarketingProfs concluded that businesses that used AI in their ABM strategies had 59% higher closing rates as compared to others. They saw a 58% increase in their revenue and a 52% increase in their conversions. Ways Salesforce's AI Einstein Aided U.S. Bank in Growing Revenue The U.S. bank used Salesforce’s sales cloud AI, Einstein, to boost their revenue. Their lead conversion rate increased 2.35 times after implementing Einstein. They were able to create a model to predict lead conversion. They did this by using Einstein to search through customized historical lead data. “We work to build high-quality, personalized relationships between our customers and their financial advisors or commercial bankers. There is nothing that replaces that person-to-person interaction. What AI allows us to do is augment that relationship. We can provide our teams with better data and smarter insights, which helps them establish stronger relationships.” – Srini Nallasivan, Chief Analytics Officer, U.S. Bank Summing It Up AI-based marketing can enhance your ABM strategy only if qualitative data is available. Therefore, businesses will need to have clear marketing goals and turn data into an asset. FAQs What Are the Challenges in the AI-based ABM Strategy?

Do you wonder whether your business fits in the ABM strategy? And even if you practice ABM, what is to be done differently for your business? Well, we have answers to all your questions. As Clive Armitage, CEO at Agent3, said,“We have to act as the eyes and ears of marketing innovation for our clients; they trust us to help them navigate the pace of change in the way that the process of marketing is evolving.” Thus, your marketing and sales team should be on the same page to deliver an excellent and personalized customer experience. The implementation of ABM in different industries may be different but the challenges faced are somewhat the same. The baisc challenge for ABM are personalization and quality content. So, let us dig deeper into how ABM works for different industry segments. And also focus on how each industry should strategize for successful account-based marketing. How Is ABM Different for Different Industries? Every company has different products to sell to various companies. Also, if you sell the same product to distinct companies, you need a unique tactic for every organization. Account-based marketing is crafting such individual approaches for every client that matters. For example, if you are an advertising company and you need a luxury car brand account, your ABM strategy will be different for different car brands. It can also be designed differently for every decision-maker. Thus, you have to be very focused and delicately plan strategies for the target account. Apart from the people you target, also keep in mind the industry segment that you target. It will help to align strategies with both brands. Now let us discuss some different types of ABM strategies that work for distinct industry segments. Types of ABM Strategies (with Real-time Examples) ABM is a beneficial strategy for all types of companies. But it works wonders for organizations that target large companies who have relatively long sales cycles. According to the State of Account-Based Revenue Engine 2019 report, organizations saw a whooping 91% improved ROI post-ABM implementation. Hence, let us see how different ABM strategies have their way of working. Events Events have proved to be the most successful of all the ABM strategies. Once target clients accept the personalized invites to the events, the sales team can easily have in-person meetings. Also, a souvenir, gift, or a creative way of a follow-up meeting should be an incorporated strategy of the event. Example: Thomas Reuters is an organization that provides news and information tools for professionals. Their challenge was retention and expansion with their key accounts. Thus, they created an event opportunity for these accounts. In these events, the top executives of the exclusive accounts could speak. And Thomas Reuters would quote them in whitepapers, blogs, and more. It ensured that the sales team would be in contact with the key accounts all year round. Thus, it increased retention and built good relations. Webinars A webinar is an option when the physical presence of clients at a similar geographical location is not possible. But a webinar allows curating a more personalized experience and at convenient times with less utility of resources. Example: HotJar Lightning Talks conference is a webinar hosted by HotJar. This webinar gives the speaker maximum of five minutes to address a particular topic. Thus, no long presentation but just a short glimpse of informative or marketing strategies. Businesses participate in the webinar to present the challenges and solutions to their prospective clients. Thus, HotJar had many B2B clients participating in the conference and, the idea became a big hit! Direct Mails Gifts, marketing material, and creative packages sent through direct mail are a success in ABM. However, account-based marketing requires personalization and direct mail is the best tactic to deliver that. Example: Billing Tree is a technology-driven payment processing organization. It faced the challenge of scheduling meetings with the targeted accounts. Thus, they mailed 100 locked cases secured with two combinations of padlocks. These cases contained US$ 100 Amazon gift cards. Billing Tree gave the combination once they got the appointment with the account. And once the client opened the case, the lid had a video player embedded in it that played the video pitch for the account. Billing Tree generated an account engagement rate of 60% with the ABM strategy of direct mail. Advertising Personalized advertising has become an easy thing, thanks to IP targeting and re-targeting technology. It allows you to target the big fishes rather than the traditional wide net fishing. Example: DocuSign is an eSignature transaction management and solution provider company. It wanted to generate more traffic and click-through rates to form gated content. The company executed personalized ad campaigns to the target accounts that contained industry-specific images, content, and peer logos. And with detailed web analytics, they targeted the accounts at specific times. This personalized ads ABM strategy boosted DocuSign’s age views by 300% with a massive conversion rate! Personalized Website Experience Technology these days has expanded its horizons to provide incredible experiences, and personalized website experience is one of those. Once you get the technicalities right, your target accounts can have an out-of-the-world personalized experience when they visit the desired page or the website. Example: Savi provides sensor analytics solutions for organizations. Their main client bases are the ones that give critical decisions based on the location and status of people. Thus, Savi has to deal with private and government organizations. Therefore, as a part of specific marketing and sales strategy, they personalized their home pages differently for different clients. Thus, when government organizations the homepage was: And for the corporates, the page was: Ways to Implement ABM According to the 2020 State of ABM Report, 94.2% of respondents have successfully implemented this marketing strategy.

Implement the account-based marketing strategy. Analyze the campaign regularly. Importance of Personalization Personalization is a crucial part of account-based marketing. Your extensive research about the clients helps you craft unique, creative, and personalized content for them. A personalized experience ensures an enriched and engaging customer experience. If a campaign exclusively provides solutions to pain points, clients become customers for life. It also helps to develop good relations. Remember, account-based marketing is not only about conversions but also about creating brand awareness and relationships. As Andy Bacon, VP Consulting at Momentum, has quoted, “ABM is all about building better quality relationships; the ROI will follow.” Frequently Asked Questions Do different industries need different account-based marketing strategies?

Coming back to the point, we are talking about the strategy of direct mails in account-based marketing. This strategy has proved to be a success for many organizations practicing ABM. So what exactly is direct mail in ABM and, are there any successful ways or ideal examples to follow? Let us see in detail. What Is Direct Mail in ABM? We are aware that account-based marketing is a strategy that involves targeting, personalization and conversions. But what happens when we make tangibility a part of the above process? Well, the results are impressive. An Infotrends report stated that the e-mail response rate increased from 7.5% to 9.5% with a multi-channel ABM strategy. But, the biggest challenges of ABM are delivering a personalized customer experience, choosing the target accounts, and deciding on the correct content. Thus, direct mail can help you deal with the challenge of delivering a personalized customer experience. A direct mail strategy delivers personalized objects, messages, and more to the targeted organization’s decision-makers. The best part about direct mail is that you can get as creative as you want. Plus, it ensures that the top team notices your efforts. “Direct mail is the new black in B2B. There is nothing more personalized than a handwritten note with a personalized direct mail that is fully customized for your prospect or customer.” - Sangram Vajre, CMO of Terminus. Let us have a look at the best ways to incorporate direct mail in your ABM strategy. Ideas to Implement Direct Mail in ABM Remember, no matter what personalized goodies you plan to send to the concerned people, ensure that: You have a bold, clear, and obvious call to action. Your message is short, simple, and direct. Your strategy should be less is more. You have added the extra personal touch in your mail. Once you have devised the direct mail strategy, here are some things that you need to keep in mind before implementation. Determine the Stage in the Buyer’s Journey Before sending direct mail to your target account, know where they stand in their buyer’s journey. Let us consider these three stages. Awareness Stage If your buyer is in the awareness stage, you need to target all the organization’s decision-makers. Sending them goodies that get them together might be a good idea. For example: Send a box with a personalized message about your company to one and send the key to another. Or you could gift puzzles pieces to each one that needs them to come together to decode the message. Demo Stage Congrats! If you reached the demo stage with the target account. Now, if you’re finding it difficult to set an appointment with them, use direct mail to get their attention. For example: Send them a box with a clock ticking and a surprise to be opened at some given time. As if a demo can be scheduled at that time and claim the gift! 2.1.3 Final Stage You have closed the deal and are all ready to start the dealings. But some small things seemed to be stuck from the buyer’s end. This is where your research will prove handy. You need the search for a particular likeness about the decision-maker and lure them. It will help you get their attention and close all the pending work. For example: Send them a password-protected gadget and, they can access that only after the deal is complete. 2.2 Know the Decision-makers It is an essential aspect in determining the direct mail that you need to send. You should be well aware of the receiver's likes, dislikes, hobbies, and personal traits. Thus, use social media and everything possible from the sales team to create the best effect. Determine the Factors for Conversion Lastly, when the package opens, it should immediately connect to the individual. Thus, when you design or assemble the package, ensure that it connects immediately. Moreover, it should address the pain points and challenges and align with the company’s goals. Thus, determine the factors that directly affect them and, you will provide the best solutions. For example: If you are a hiring agency, give them a complete puzzle with just one piece missing. And a couple of options for the missing piece. Once they fit the right piece in, your puzzle says, “Having trouble finding the right person, we will help your hire!” And ensure that you send a personalized note to every individual along with the common goal of the message.

First, the sales and marketing team collaborates to collect the maximum data about specific clients. Then these clients are targeted with personalized marketing campaigns on various platforms. Thus, account-based marketing allows you to utilize your workforce and resources efficiently. It also helps to market your products to a handful of customers who have a 90% chance of conversion. Now, let us see the correct ways to implement ABM for various B2B industries. Ways to Implement ABM Plans with Examples We have specifically chosen the four best ways to implement ABM in B2B marketing strategy. These are the core strategies that have worked for B2B and are sure to work for you too. But first, look at these wise words from Maliha Aqeel, Director of Global Communications at Fix Network World. 'One of the most common mistakes companies make is implementing a brand strategy that isn’t aligned to the organization’s overall business goal.' So before implementing any marketing plan, ensure that your brand strategy, marketing campaigns, and everything else aligns with the overall business goals. Identify Exclusive Accounts It is the root of your ABM strategy. Your fruits of labor will be decided by the correct places you plant these roots. So basically, when you are filtering your clients/customers for ABM, here are the key factors to be kept in mind; Choose the correct industry. Know the size of the organization. Identify the needs, challenges, and pain points of the organization. Know the timelines and hierarchy of their decision-making process. The answers to these questions will help you to recognize the target accounts precisely. Example: Vidyard is a video platform that helps businesses transform communications and drive more revenue through the strategic use of online video. It collaborated with SmartBug Media to change the video experience for users worldwide. Thus, they can target the correct customers on Hubspot. In addition, they help customers to make videos an integrated part of their marketing campaigns and other processes. Craft Tailored Content Every filtered account for ABM will have unique needs, demands, challenges, and pain points. Thus, you have to craft content to address the customers directly. They should instantly recognize that you understand them and have built solutions exclusively for their challenges. You should also be ready with different content for different stages of the buying journey. And remember to design content for customers even after they convert. It helps you to be ready for the retention stage. Like Mark Emond, Founder and President at Demand Spring quotes; “Content is at the heart of great marketing today. It needs to educate, inspire, and convert. It must be tied to the unique rational and emotional needs of each target persona.” Example: Intridea executed an excellent content strategy to target the advertising giant Ogilvy. First, they rented a billboard right across Ogilvy’s Manhattan office. The billboard said, “Ogle this, Ogilvy.” Intridea also placed its logo and company URL at the bottom of the quirky line. This exclusive content got them an appointment with Ogilvy’s CEO! Use Marketing Automation Tools There are various personalization tools available to assist you in ABM. These tools provide centralized data collection and data analysis. They also coordinate your marketing campaigns across all platforms. Example: Growsteak is a Vietnamese company that provides advertising and digital marketing solutions. However, it faced several challenges like lead generation and competitor analysis. Thus, they incorporated Hubspot’s Partner Program. It not only helped them overcome their challenges but also generated 5,166% more leads overall. Measure the KPIs You need to measure the metrics once you implement ABM. It is one of the essential factors of a successful ABM strategy. However, these metrics are different from traditional marketing. Thus, you need to keep a hawk’s eye on them. Some of the KPIs to consider are; Is the current coverage of key clients sufficient and, is it growing? Are there known or anonymous visits to your site? Have they increased? Is the incoming traffic getting converted? How much is the depth of engagement? Has the strategy made it easy to get appointments of the target accounts? Wrapping Up The success of account-based marketing depends on research and personalization. The more effort you put in to know your clients, the closer you get to convert them. Thus, make use of the abundant data and accurately target your potential customers! Frequently Asked Questions Is ABM more successful than traditional marketing? Yes. Compared to traditional marketing methods, ABM has proved to create wonders and save a lot on time, resources and workforce. It has also guaranteed a better success and conversion rate for the sales and marketing teams. How important is personalization in marketing? Personalization plays a prominent role in ABM. A trust factor builts if you can address the challenges and pain points of the client with personalized solutions. Also, personalization ensures a higher rate of getting appointments and conversions of the targeted accounts. Can SMBs also implement ABM? Of course. SMBs have a higher chance of growing if they plan their marketing strategy along with ABM. It will allow them to understand the market and their customers from the very beginning. And once they have converted the customers, retention will be an easy task. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How do small business owners use technology to improve their business?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Small businesses can use technology in multiple different ways.

Thread starter The Overlord Start date Dec 10, 2019 Tags nick animation nicktoons nicktoons network 1 2 Next 1 of 2 Go to page Go Next Last T The Overlord Well-Known Member Joined Aug 5, 2002 Messages 5,955 Dec 10, 2019 #1 Should Nickelodeon stop shipping current cartoon series to Nicktoons? It seems like Nickelodeon has a habit of sending shows to Nicktoons that do not get Spongebob level ratings right off the bat, where they are quickly forgotten about and canceled. It seems Disney Channel will bring over shows from Disney XD that become popular to the main Disney Channel, so Disney doesn't treat Disney XD like some animation graveyard like Nickelodeon does with Nicktoons. Nicktoons seems like a fine place for reruns of old shows, but it seems like the kiss of death for a new show. Recent shows like Harvey Beaks, Welcome to the Wayne and Rise of the TMNT are the latest shows to suffer this fate, but there are many others: Nickelodeon / Screwed By The Network - TV Tropes Around the mid-2000s, a trend emerged wherein, if a show on Nickelodeon doesn't pull in ratings similar to either the network favorites or their established Kid Coms during its first few weeks, it would be screwed over, cancelled quickly, and/or … tvtropes.org I suppose at one time you argue that there is only so much room on Nickelodeon's schedule (though there are a lot of Spongebob reruns on that schedule), but now there a bunch of streaming options that would be better than Nicktoons at this point. How many people have Nicktoons vs. a Netflix account and frankly CBS All Access could use some more original non Star Trek content. Maybe Welcome to the Wayne or Harvey Beaks would have done well on a streaming platform if they did not get Spongebob level ratings right away on the main network, but sending them to Nicktoons to be forgotten about was a waste. It also burns bridges with creators, I am not sure C. H. Greenblatt would ever want to work with Nickelodeon again. Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir was on Nickelodeon, only get treated poorly by them and seems to be doing better on Netflix. DreamWorks was making cartoons for Nickelodeon for a while, but Nick started to treat those shows badly and DreamWorks switched working with Netflix instead. She-Ra and Voltron would have been treated horribly by Nickelodeon. I think the Rocko's Modern Life and Invader Zim movies would not have worked on the main Nickelodeon channel but worked well on Netflix.

I haven't started watching She-Ra yet and I only saw the first three or four seasons of Voltron, but I'd be amazed if they were able to air on Nickelodeon at all. Neither series really fits with Nickelodeon, especially when Voltron was designed to be binged watched with each season. I also wonder if the Voltron fandom would have become so infamous if it was stuck on Nicktoons instead of Netflix. As for the question at hand, they absolutely should stop shipping shows off to Nicktoons. The channel is nothing but an excuse to air shows that they're no longer interested in airing on the main channel and/or third party content. Unless they change how they treat the Nicktoons channel, which seems pretty unlikely at this point, then putting a series on that channel is practically a death sentence. They need to just improve their schedules so that more new series can get a chance to shine and develop an audience. Reactions: ATSFGuy, JMTV Studios and dothesmartthing ToonsJazzLover Well-Known Member Joined Jan 31, 2010 Messages 1,123 Location Laredo, TX Dec 10, 2019 #3 Yeah, a lot of people don’t trust Nickelodeon anymore to treat new cartoons right, so they always expect this to happen if they’re not successful enough (and it happens anyway). It’s Pony needs to break that curse the same way The Loud House did. Imagine if the Nicktoon Renaissance would’ve been fully started 5 years ago with Harvey Beaks...this time, we’ll have to be more supportive especially in an age where cable is falling to irrelevance thanks to streaming wars. I just hope Nick doesn’t mess around the schedule that much like they did with their shows. The only thing to avoid getting shafted to Nicktoons is to make sure it gets plenty of reruns on the main channel (and don’t air it on Nicktoons unless it’s for the network premiere. Casagrandes is almost absent in that channel). Record the new episodes if possible especially if you don’t time to see it due to work or if you’re not a morning person, etc. Discuss your pros and cons openly online so it can get some attention. And frankly I find it sad that 3 of their original Nicktoons the last few years were burned off to Nicktoons channel while season one wasn’t even finished (Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Bunsen and Welcome to the Wayne). While the first two took about 20 episodes to do so, Wayne only took 9 episodes to get burned off making it the shortest it has ever lasted on the main channel out of any Nicktoons (and it only aired on main Nick from July-September 2017). Eventhe spin-off show Rise of the TMNT got this treatment just when they’re about to finish season one. We need to make sure Pony and the upcoming cartoons last all the way to the very end of the season and hopefully a renewal will come. The 2020s needs to be their true comeback Reactions: ATSFGuy, JMTV Studios, Spacething7474 and 2 others K kanc Well-Known Member Joined Sep 9, 2013 Messages 13,072 Dec 10, 2019 #4 ToonsJazzLover said: And frankly I find it sad that 3 of their original Nicktoons the last few years were burned off to Nicktoons channel while season one wasn’t even finished (Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Bunsen and Welcome to the Wayne).

They should also stop delaying shows, which ends up causing the show to get cancelled or have their entire crew move on to other shows, because since the show didn't premiere, Nick doesn't know if it's successful enough. They did this with Pinky Malinky (suppose to premiere Autumn 2016), Glitch Techs (suppose to premiere last year), and 19 years ago with ChalkZone (suppose to premiere Autumn 2000). At least the latter survived to get a few more seasons.

The Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, and Monsters vs. Aliens weren't made by DreamWorks.

I'm hoping the upcoming Pony cartoon, Casagrandes, and future animated originals keep airing new episodes on main Nickelodeon for at least two/three seasons (shows like Fanboy and Chum Chum and Sanjay and Craig managed to do this).

I mean, whatever else, there IS a toyline to support. You might want to make sure the show gets as many eyeballs as possible, even if you were planning to cancel it after two seasons, just to sell crap. Then again, I've never understood the terrible, break-of-dawn timeslots for CN's recent Transformers cartoons either.

Well be that as it may, DreamWorks was not happy about how Nickelodeon was treating its shows and did business with Netflix instead. Nickelodeon also passed on Adventure Time, which is a good thing, because I think they would have shipped it to Nicktoons if it did not get Spongebob level ratings right away.

I think they screwed over more cartoon series than Disney or Cartoon Network has, neither of those networks is perfect but I think they are better then Nickelodeon is in terms of letting new series have a fighting chance. Not just TMNT, I think if Nick gave shows like Welcome to the Wayne and Harvey Beaks a real chance, they could have been great shows and maybe even the start of a real resistance of animation, instead they rely on 3 animated shows (one is 2 decades old) and rerun them all the time. Nickelodeon passed on Adventure Time, which is a good thing because that would have been shipped off to Nicktoons if it did not get Spongebob level ratings right away. I hope they do not mistreat the Star Trek cartoon series. Last edited: Dec 10, 2019 Reactions: JMTV Studios Low Spark of Lyman "Nice touch."

Sending them off to Nicktoons to be forgotten seems really foolish, Nickelodeon should do more to develop quality animation, so it either be sold to Netflix for a profit or put on CBS All Access to bolster their content. Viacom/CBS is the weakest of the major entertainment companies, they do not have the luxury of throwing content away, WB and Disney seem far less wasteful with their animated content.

PM13 Active Member Joined Dec 26, 2020 Messages 398 Location USA Oct 18, 2021 #16 Yes, Nickelodeon was special to a lot to us over the years, but now you have to like SpongeBob and The Loud House to be a fan of this channel(this also includes spinoffs like The Casagrandes, Kamp Koral, etc.). They don't care for the viewers who want to watch something original and different like It's Pony and Middlemost Post, cuz eventually they'll get tired of watching the two big franchises. Even tho I'm a fan of SpongeBob and the Louds, I still don't want them to overshadow their other shows. If a Nicktoon becomes popular, it becomes a cash cow and is overhated, if not, it goes to Nicktoons, there just can't be something in between. I say the only thing to do is to shut down Nicktoons Network. Totally Winxed Member Joined Nov 8, 2021 Messages 34 Location Campbell County VA Nov 20, 2021 #17 Yes.

Authentic Suburban Gourmet: { Pancakes with Fig Balsamic Jam + Food Blogger "Jamming" Party Highlights } Sunday, July 8, 2012 { Pancakes with Fig Balsamic Jam + Food Blogger "Jamming" Party Highlights } What is one of your passions in life? Mine is food. I have an adoration for the blending of flavors, the various preparations and the joy it brings to people when they enjoy something truly wonderful. A few years ago I checked off the bucket list – making jam along with learning the process of canning. One of the first jams I made was Fig Balsamic Jam. It was truly one of those mouth dropping flavors and quickly became a staple in my house along with a favorite gift to give to friends. It has the perfect balance of sweet, acid and texture. Works well with both sweet and savory dishes. It is quite simple to prepare and the result is just magnificent. Yesterday I had the pleasure of getting together with five other food bloggers to make jam. It was not only the opportunity to see fellow food bloggers, but friends that I have made through this blogging journey. It was a day filled with great food, discussions about food, trying new flavors of jam and just generally having a great day. Azmina of Lawyers Loves Lunch was kind enough to host the event at her lovely home. She set the tone of the day by her cleaver evite titled – “It’s Jammer Time” – which is sung to the tune of “It’s Hammer Time”. We coordinated through email what each person would bring. Gina of SPCookieQueen has access to the best fruit in the Bay Area and brought 30 pounds of nectarines and Santa Rosa plums along with her jam making prowess. Stephanie of The Baking Barrister brought lots of luscious lemons and sugar. Jean of Lemons and Anchovies shared the most flavorful blueberries along with assorted canning accoutrements. Liren of Kitchen Confidante brought beautiful canning jars along with other goodies. I brought a ton of fresh figs, large canning pot and other pots. { Left to right: Gina, Stephanie, Azmina, Me, Jean and Liren } It would not be a foodie event if there wasn’t an abundance of delicious foods. No one disappointed. From divine salads, to supreme cookies and tasty appetizers – we did not lack for an array of sublime delights. We started the fig jam before diving into the snacks to get one jam going. Typically it takes me over an hour to simply trim and cut the figs – what a terrific treat to have so many hands working at once. This task was a snap! Along with the Fig Balsamic Jam, we made Vanilla Santa Rosa Plum Jam, Blueberry and Nectarine Jam and Strawberry Lemon Jam. It was great to have so many hands to help with the endevour. We went home with lots of jam to enjoy for months ahead and will have fond memories of making it with everyone. I shared my knowledge of jam by making with the Fig Balsamic Jam along with general things I have learned through the years. Gina is a master jam maker and I learned some new tricks from her. Love the art of continual learning. Here are a few tips from Gina and myself for mastering the art of jam making: A small batch of jam is 3 pounds of fruit with 19 ounces of sugar and 2 ounces of lemon juice. Use a scale to measure the ingredients. This will yield four to five 8 ounce jars. The key to great jam making is the perfect balance of sugar to acid. As the jam begins to thicken, taste to see if acid slightly takes the sweetness of the sugar away. You should still taste sugar but it will be balanced by the acid. An alternative to sterilizing your jars is to do this in the oven. Wash the jars first, then place onto a baking sheet with sides and heat at 225 degrees for 15 minutes. Sterilize the lid with the rubber portion in boiling hot water for 10 minutes. The basic equipment for canning includes: large pot, rack to hold jars, tongs to remove hot jars and towels to cool the jams on the counter. After several batches of jam, using our senses of smell, taste, feel and taste will be your greatest tools to making perfect jam. Since it was Sunday, hubby loves a big breakfast and specifically asked for pancakes. He simply likes butter on top of his and that is it. I liked a bit of maple syrup on top. Today, I was inspired by our day of jam making, that I topped it with a large dollop of Fig Balsamic Jam and sliced fresh figs. Simply supreme. All in all, it was a wonderful day with wonderful friends and wonderful food. I have included my recipe for Fig Balsamic Jam. Enjoy! Fig Balsamic Jam Makes 12 to 14 pint jars 6 Pounds Fresh Figs – remove stem and cut into quarters 4 ½ Cups Sugar 1 ½ Cups Balsamic Vinegar Use a large pot. Add all of the above ingredients to the large pot. Stir well to combine all of the ingredients. Place on the stove on high heat and bring to a boil. Once really bubbling lower the heat to medium. The sugar will begin to thicken and the figs will soften. Once the figs are soft, about 45 minutes to one hour. Simple test by pressing the spoon against a fig to the side of the pot. If soft and the liquid is thicker, then it is probably ready. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Using an emulsion blender, puree the jam. If you like it with chunks, then process less. To process the jam, add to each sterilized jar and wipe around each rim to remove any of the jam that spilled. Put the lid and rim on each jar and tighten, but not too tight. Add each jar to the boiling water of the large pot with tongs and use a canning rack. Process for 10 minutes. Using tongs remove each jar and place onto a towel on the counter. This will prevent the jar from cracking if it hits a cold hard surface. Let cool. You will hear the lids popping. The popping means the jar is sealed. After an hour, check each jar to ensure you can’t press and hear a popping sound. If you do, it means it did not seal. Simply re-process to obtain a tight seal. Pancakes 1 C. Flour 1 T. Sugar 2 t. Baking powder 1/4 t. Salt 1 Egg 1 C. Milk 2 T. Vegetable oil In a mixing bowl add all of the dry ingredients. In another bowl add the egg and beat, then add the milk and vegetable oil and mix together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix. The batter will be lumpy. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of batter onto a greased hot skillet. Cook till pancakes are golden brown, turning to cook second side when pancakes have a bubbly surface and slightly dry edges. Makes 8 to 10 standard size or 36 dollar size pancakes. Simply double or triple the recipe if you need to make more. *Pancake recipe from Better Homes and Garden - New Cook Book Please enjoy these other posts from the "Jamming" bloggers!

We are launching in April two online workshops that should get you started with both Python and Machine Learning in the easiest way. Instead of local installations (in order to have a Python environment like Apache Jupyter) – we will use Google Colab (an online notebook environment that allows writing and executing of Python code). As for Machine Learning library we are going to use scikit-learn – probably the most known and used ML open library. The workshops are build independently so that one can participate to either one or both of them, but in case you want to get started in this field we recommend both getting familiar with Python and the data science libraries and then learning how to build and test and ML model. More info on the workshops can be found below: Workshop 1, April 3rd: An Easy Slide into Python for Data Science , trainer Ionut Oprea Workshop 2, April 17th: Start learning ML with Sklearn and Google Colab , trainer Maria Catana Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading... BigData Working group: Streams processing with Apache Flink November 23, 2020 November 23, 2020 valentinacrisanLeave a comment Learning a new solution or building an architecture for a specific use case is never easy, especially when you are trying to embark alone on such an endeavour – thus in 2020 bigdata.ro started a new way of learning specific big data solutions/use cases: working groups. In 2020 we started 3 working groups: Spark Structured Streaming + NLP Building live dashboards with Druid + Superset Understanding Decision Trees (running until December) And with 2 of the groups completed and the Decision Trees one to be completed soon, we are now opening registration for a new working group – this time focused on Apache Flink: How to process streaming data with Apache Flink and Apache Pulsar/Apache Kafka. The working group aims to take place December – February and will bring together a team of 5-6 participants that will define the scope (Kafka/Pulsar and the exact use case), select the data (open data), install the needed components, implement the needed flow.

BigData Starting up with big data August 31, 2020 August 31, 2020 valentinacrisanLeave a comment Authors: Cosmin Chauciuc, Valentina Crisan Throughout our training journeys with bigdata.ro one of the most encountered questions at the end of a course (that usually runs in the cloud on an already installed/configured setup) is: “how do I now setup my own small big data system”? Most of the time the question refers to a local installation – not something in the cloud – but to something that can be used for testing different small use cases and get someone started with their big data curiosity/exploration. Now, getting started with big data in general can have 2 completely different approaches depending of the intended use case: if you need HDFS – a distributed file storage system – in order to properly test a kind of a Hadoop eco-system. In this case I recommend going for the Cloudera / Hortonworks small installations. But even the smallest installations require 16GB RAM and a lot of laptops/PC’c cannot afford to allocate this amount of RAM – plus this minimal configuration works pretty slow. Thus, in case a dedicated server – e.g. getting a Hetzner server – might be a better choice versus local installations. the second option (local storage, no HDFS) – when you just want to have a minimal installation and just understand what you could do with it – is to install a minimal combination of: Confluent Kafka + Cassandra + Zeppelin. Zeppelin comes with an embedded local Spark thus you will basically get something like in the below pic. This is the setup that will be the focus of this post. The blog post below has been drafted and revised by me (Valentina Crisan) but actually all steps were described and detailed by one of my former students in the Big Data Architecture and Technologies open courses: Cosmin Chauciuc. I am so proud to see someone taking forward the basis laid by my course and wanting to expand and become proficient in the big data field. The blog post will have 3 parts: how to install a minimum big data solution on your own computer (current post) building an end to end use case visualizing data in Spark with Helium We assume the reader already knows something about the solutions mentioned in this post (Kafka, Cassandra, Spark, Zeppelin) – thus we won’t go into the basics of what these are. Build your own small big data solution We will use Ubuntu Linux distribution for this installation – thus please follow Step 0 for one of the alternatives of installing Ubuntu on your system. Please note for a complete setup you will need a minimum of 8GB RAM – see in next chapter the RAM requirements for each service. 0. Install Ubuntu Ubuntu is an open source linux distribution, based on Debian, very easy to set up and have a full linux operating system. There are various ways to have Ubuntu on your laptop with your current windows installation. WSL – for windows 10 https://ubuntu.com/wsl Install a complete Ubuntu terminal environment in minutes on Windows 10 with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Docker Docker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/windows-ubuntu-hyperv-containers#1-overview Using VirtualBox VirtualBox can run different operating systems using virtualization. See below the steps to install: Software to download : https://www.virtualbox.org/ Ubuntu ISO to download : https://ubuntu.com/#download Set up a new machine in Virtualbox – Name : Ubuntu – it will auto fill type : linux – Allocate ram for virtual machine : minimum recommended 8GB Now, why 8GB RAM? See below an estimated RAM for each of the services : Apache Cassandra 2.3GB Confluent Kafka 3.8GB Apache Zeppelin 1.5GB Ubuntu OS 1.1GB 4. Create a virtual hard disk, VDI, with dynamically allocated size. Depends on what you plan to install, allocate 20-30 GB size. 5. The last step is to attach to the newly created virtual machine, the ISO file: settings , storage : Live CD. This will let you boot from the ISO file. Ubuntu can be used as a Live system or it can be installed on the VDI hard drive. The difference is that the live OS allows you to use it, but it is not persisting changes/files/new software installed, at reboot. If we want to proceed with installation of big data tools, we have to install the system. After you have Ubuntu OS installed you need to process with the next Installation steps : 1. Confluent Kafka 2. Apache Cassandra 3. Apache Zeppelin – with embedded Apache Spark local 4. Apache Zeppelin configurations for Spark interworking with Kafka and Cassandra configurations Note: you might observe that all solutions above are Apache besides Kafka that we chose to be a Confluent installation. The reasoning is simple – Confluent has a one node installation available that has all Kafka services in one node: Apache Kafka (Zookeeper + Kafka broker), Schema Registry, Connect, KSQL to name a few. This one node installation is meant for testing purposes (not for commercial/production ones). In production you will need to install these services from scratch (unless you choose a commercial license installation from Confluent), but this is a setup we found best to get you started and give you a good glimpse into what the Kafka ecosystem can give you as functionality. Nonetheless, if you don’t want to go for Confluent Kafka one node installation at the end of this post you have as well the Apache Kafka version – in this case you will have only Kafka – without the Connect, SchemaRegistry and KSQL. 1. Prerequisites for services installations Install curl sudo apt install curl Install Java 8 sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre Java version check $ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_265" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_265-8u265-b01-0ubuntu2~20.04-b01) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.265-b01, mixed mode) 2. Kafka installation We will download Confluent Kafka – one node installation (no commercial license needed) – it is one node that has all the Kafka components available: Zookeeper, Broker, Kafka Registry, KSQL, Connect curl -O http://packages.confluent.io/archive/5.5/confluent-5.5.1-2.12.zip Extract the contents of the archive unzip confluent-5.5.1-2.12.zip cd confluent-5.5.1/ We’ll use the default configuration files. <path-to-confluent>/etc/ Starting the services: this Confluent script starts all the services, including KSQL. ~/confluent-5.5.1/bin$ ./confluent local start The local commands are intended for a single-node development environment only, NOT for production usage. https://docs.confluent.io/current/cli/index.html Using CONFLUENT_CURRENT: /tmp/confluent.kCNzjS0a Starting zookeeper zookeeper is [UP] Starting kafka kafka is [UP] Starting schema-registry schema-registry is [UP] Starting kafka-rest kafka-rest is [UP] Starting connect connect is [UP] Starting ksql-server ksql-server is [UP] Starting control-center control-center is [UP] Another way to install Kafka – not using the Confluent script – is to start first Zookeeper and then add each Kafka broker. See the details in Paragraph 7. 3. Apache Cassandra Add the Apache repository of Cassandra to the file cassandra.sources.list echo "deb https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list Add the Apache Cassandra repository keys to the list of trusted keys on the server curl https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS | sudo apt-key add - Update sudo apt-get update Install Cassandra sudo apt-get install cassandra Start Cassandra service sudo service cassandra start sudo service cassandra stop // only if you want to stop the service Check the status of Cassandra nodetool status Datacenter: datacenter1 ======================= Status=Up/Down |/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving -- Address Load Tokens Owns (effective) Host ID Rack UN 127.0.0.1 70.03 KiB 256 100.0% 1c169827-bf4c-487f-b79a-38c00855b144 rack1 Test CQLSH $ cqlsh Connected to Test Cluster at 127.0.0.1:9042.

Configuring Zeppelin for connection with Kafka and Cassandra – through the embedded Apache Spark An Apache Zeppelin interpreter is a plugin that enables you to access processing engines and data sources from the Zeppelin UI. In order to connect our installed Zeppelin to Kafka we will need to add some artifacts in the Spark interpreter in Zeppelin configurations.

Another way to install Kafka – not using the Confluent script – is to start first Zookeeper and then add each Kafka broker Zookeper kosmin@bigdata:~/confluent-5.5.1$ ./bin/zookeeper-server-start ./etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties In another terminal window, we can check if Zookeeper started. By default, it listens on 2181 port. $ ss -tulp | grep 2181 tcp LISTEN 0 50 *:2181 *:* users:(("java",pid=6139,fd=403)) Kafka For starting Kafka service, run this in another terminal : kosmin@bigdata:~/confluent-5.5.1$ ./bin/kafka-server-start ./etc/kafka/server.properties Check if Kafka started in another terminal window. Default Kafka broker port is 9092. kosmin@bigdata:~/confluent-5.5.1$ ss -tulp | grep 9092 tcp LISTEN 0 50 *:9092 *:* users:(("java",pid=6403,fd=408)) Test Kafka topics kosmin@bigdata:~/confluent-5.5.1/bin$ ./kafka-topics --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic Hello Created topic Hello. kosmin@bigdata:~/confluent-5.5.1/bin$ ./kafka-topics --list --zookeeper localhost:2181 Hello __confluent.support.metrics _confluent-license kosmin@bigdata:~/confluent-5.5.1/bin$ At this moment you should have your own private small cluster ready for learning some of the solutions in Big Data Architectures. Although with such setup you cannot see the wonder of distributed systems, you can though understand the purpose of Kafka/Cassandra/Spark/Zeppelin in a big data architecture. Next post in these series will be about building an end to end case with this setup. Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading... BigData, Cassandra, Kafka, Scala, Spark Spark working group August 9, 2020 August 17, 2020 andrei deuşteanu2 Comments A Big Data Analysis of Meetup Events using Spark NLP, Kafka and Vegas Visualization Finding trending Meetup topics using Streaming Data, Named Entity Recognition and Zeppelin Notebooks – a tale of a super enthusiastic working group during the pandemic times. Author : Andrei Deusteanu Project Team: Valentina Crisan, Ovidiu Podariu, Maria Catana, Cristian Stanciulescu, Edwin Brinza, Andrei Deusteanu We started out as a working group from bigdata.ro. Our main purpose was to learn and practice on Spark Structured Streaming, Machine Learning and Kafka. We built the entire use case and then the architecture from scratch. This is a learning case story. We did not really know from the beginning what would be possible or not. For sure, looking back, some of the steps could have been optimized. But, hey, that’s how life works in general. Since Meetup.com provides data through a real-time API, we used it as our main data source We did not use the data for commercial purposes, just for testing. The problems we tried to solve: Allow meetup organizers to identify trending topics related to their meetup. We computed Trending Topics based on the description of the events matching the tags of interest to us. We did this using the John Snow Labs Spark NLP library for extracting entities. See which Meetup events attract the most responses within our region. Therefore we monitored the RSVPS for meetups using certain tags, related to our domain of interest – Big Data. For these we developed 2 sets of visualizations: Trending Keywords RSVPs Distribution Architecture Trending Keywords The Stream Reader script fetches data on Yes RSVPs filtered by certain tags from the Meetup Stream API. It then selects the relevant columns that we need. After that it saves this data into the rsvps_filtered_stream Kafka topic. For each RSVP, the Stream Reader script then fetches event data for it, only if the event_id does not exist in the events.idx file. This way we make sure that we read event data only once. The setup for the Stream Reader script can be found -> Install Kafka and fetch RSVPs The Spark ML – NER Annotator reads data from the Kafka topic events and then applies a Named Entity Recognition Pipeline with Spark NLP. Finally it saves the annotated data in the Kafka topic TOPIC_KEYWORDS. The Notebook with the code can be found here. Using KSQL we create 2 subsequent streams to transform the data and finally 1 table that will be used by Spark for the visualization. In Big Data Architectures, SQL Engines only build a logical object that assign metadata to the physical layer objects. In our case these were the streams we built on top of the topics. To detail a bit: we link data from the TOPIC_KEYWORDS to a new stream via KSQL, called KEYWORDS. Then, using a Create as Select, we create a new stream, EXPLODED_KEYWORDS, for exploding the data since all of the keywords were in an array. Now we have 1 row for each keyword. Next on, we count the occurrences of each keyword and save it into a table, KEYWORDS_COUNTED. The steps to set up the streams and the tabels with the KSQL code can be found here: Kafka – Detailed Architecture. Finally, we use Vegas library to produce the visualizations on Trending Keywords. The Notebook describing all steps can be found here. Detailed Explanation of the NER Pipeline In order to annotate the data, we need to transform it into a certain format, from text to numbers, and then back to text. We first use a DocumentAssembler to turn the text into a Document type. Then, we break the document into sentences using a SentenceDetector. After this we separate the text into smaller units by finding the boundaries of words using a Tokenizer. Next we remove HTML tags and numerical tokens from the text using a Normalizer. After the preparation and cleaning of the text we need to transform it into a numerical format, vectors. We use an English pre-trained WordEmbeddingsModel. Next comes the actual keyword extraction using an English NerDLModel Annotator. NerDL stands for Named Entity Recognition Deep Learning. Further on we need to transform the numbers back into a human readable format, a text. For this we use a NerConverter and save the results in a new column called entities. Before applying the model to our data, we need to run an empty training step. We use the fit method on an empty dataframe because the model is pretrained. Then we apply the pipeline to our data and select only the fields that we’re interested in. Finally we write the data in Kafka:TOPIC_KEYWORDS RSVPs Distribution The Stream Reader script fetches data on Yes RSVPs filtered by certain tags from the Meetup Stream API. It then selects the relevant columns that we need. After that it saves this data into the rsvps_filtered_stream Kafka topic. For each RSVP, the Stream Reader then reads event data for it, only if the event_id does not exist in the events.idx file. This way we make sure that we read event data only once. The setup for the Stream Reader script can be found here: Install Kafka and fetch RSVPs Using KSQL we aggregate and join data from the 2 topics to create 1 Stream, RSVPS_JOINED_DATA, and subsequently 1 Table, RSVPS_FINAL_TABLE containing all RSVPs counts. The KSQL operations and their code can be found here: Kafka – Detailed Architecture Finally, we use Vegas library to produce visualizations on the distribution of RSVPs around the world and in Romania. The Zeppelin notebook can be found here. Infrastructure We used a machine from Hetzner Cloud with the following specs: CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1275v5 (4 cores/8 threads) Storage: 2×480 GB SSD (RAID 0) RAM: 64GB Visualizations RSVPs Distribution These visualizations are done on data between 8th of May 22:15 UTC and 4th of June 11:23 UTC. Worldwide – Top Countries by Number of RSVPs Worldwide – Top Cities by Number of RSVPs As you can see, most of the RSVPs occur in the United States, but the city with the highest number of RSVPs is London. Worldwide – Top Events by Number of RSVPs Romania – Top Cities in Romania by Number of RSVPs As you can see, most of the RSVPs are in the largest cities of the country. This is probably due to the fact that companies tend to establish their offices here and therefore attract talent to these places. Romania – Top Meetup Events Romania – RSVPs Distribution * This was produced with Grafana using RSVP data processed in Spark and saved locally. Europa – RSVPs Distribution * This was produced with Grafana using RSVP data processed in Spark and saved locally. Trending Keywords Worldwide This visualization is done on data from July. Romania This visualization is done on almost 1 week of data from the start of August. See Issues encountered chapter, point 5. Issues discovered along the way All of these are mentioned in the published Notebooks as well. Visualizing data using Helium Zeppelin add-on and Vegas library directly from the stream did not work. We had to spill the data to disk, then build Dataframes on top of the files and finally do the visualizations. Spark NLP did not work for us in a Spark standalone local cluster installation (with local file system). Standalone Local Cluster means that the cluster runs on the same physical machine – Spark Cluster Manager & Workers. Such a setup does not need distributed storage such as HDFS. The workaround for us was to configure Zeppelin to use local Spark, local (*), meaning a non-distributed single-JVM deployment mode available in Zeppelin. Vegas plug-in could not be enabled initially. Running the github – %dep z.load(“org.vegas-viz:vegas_2.11:{vegas-version}”) – recommendation always raised an error. The workaround was to add all the dependencies manually in /opt/spark/jars. These dependencies can be found when deploying spark shell with the Vegas library – /opt/spark/bin/spark-shell –packages org.vegas-viz:vegas-spark_2.11:0.3.11 Helium Zeppelin addon did not work/couldn’t be enabled. This too raised an error when enabling it from Zeppelin GUI in our configuration. We did not manage to solve this issue. That’s why we used only Vegas, although it does not support Map visualizations. In the end we got creative a bit – we exported the data and loaded it into Grafana for Map visualizations. The default retention policy for Kafka is 7 days. This means that data that is older than 1 week is deleted. For some of the topics we changed this setting, but for some we forgot to do this and therefore we lost the data. This affected our visualization for the Trending Keywords in Romania. Conclusions & Learning Points In the world of Big Data you need clarity around the questions you’re trying to answer before building the Data Architecture and then follow through the plan to make sure you’re still working according to those questions. Otherwise, you might end up with something that can’t do what you actually need. It sounds a pretty general statement and pretty “DOH, OBVIOUSLY”. once we’ve seen the visualizations, we realized that we did not create the Kafka objects according to our initial per country keywords distribution visualization – e.g. we created the count aggregation per all countries, in the KEYWORDS_COUNTED Table. Combine this with the mistake of forgetting to change the Kafka retention period from the default 7 days, by the time we realized the mistake we had lost the historical data as well. Major learning point. Data should be filtered in advance of the ML/NLP process – we should have removed some keywords that don’t exactly make sense such as “de”, “da”. In order to get more relevant insights maybe several rounds of data cleaning and extracting the keywords might be needed. After seeing the final visualizations we should probably have filtered a bit more some of the obvious words. For example of course Zoom was the highest scoring keyword since by June everybody was running only online meetups mainly on Zoom. Staying focused in yet another online meeting after a long day of remote work is hard. When we meet in person we use a lot of non-verbal cues to express ourselves and understand others. In online calls we need to devote an extra level of attention as these elements are non-existent. With time this gets really tiring. — But, hei, this is what working groups look like in COVID time. Working groups are a great way of learning :-). Just see bellow the feedback from one of our project members after we – finally – managed to end the project. Ovidiu -> Double Combo : Meet great people and learn about Big Data This study group was a great way for me to learn about an end-to-end solution that uses Kafka to ingest streaming data, Spark to process it and Zeppelin to build visualizations on it. It was great that we all had different backgrounds and we had interesting debates about how to approach problems and how to solve them. Besides working with and getting to know these nice people, I got to learn the fundamentals of Kafka, how to use Spark Streaming to consume Kafka events, how a Named Entity Recognition system works, and how to use Spark NLP to train a NER model and make predictions with it. I’ve especially enjoyed one of our last meetings, where we worked together for a couple of hours and managed to build some great visualizations for meetup keywords and RSVPs using Zeppelin and Grafana. On the downside, the project took almost twice as long to complete than we originally planned – 18 weeks instead of 10. Towards the end this made it hard for me to work on it as much as I would have wanted to because it overlapped with another project that I had already planned for the summer. All in all, I would recommend this experience for anyone interested in learning Big Data technologies together with other passionate people, in a casual and friendly environment.

BigData Data ingest using Apache NiFi July 27, 2020 August 3, 2020 marcatanaLeave a comment Data ingest using Apache NiFi Course date duration: August 8th, 2020, 9:30 – 14:00, 30 min break included Trainer: Lucian Neghina Location: Online (using Zoom) Price: 150 RON (including VAT) Number of places: 10 3 places left When you need to design a data solution one of the earliest questions is where your data is coming from and how you will make it available to the solution/solutions that processes/stores the data. Especially since data we might deal with IoT data, thus various sources, and data will be as well processed and stored by several components of your solution. Even more nowadays that we work mainly with streams not with static data such a solution that is able to design and run the flow of events from the source/sources to the processing/storage stage it’s extremely important. Apache NiFi has been built to automate that data flow from one system to another. Apache NiFi is a data flow management system that comes with a web UI that helps to build data flows in real time. It supports flow-based programming. You can check out the agenda and register here. Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

BigData Big Data Learning – Druid working group July 6, 2020 marcatanaLeave a comment Learning a new solution or building an architecture for a specific use case is never easy, especially when you are trying to embark alone on such an endeavour – thus in 2020 bigdata.ro started a new way of learning specific big data solutions/use cases: working groups. And with the first working group (centered around Spark Structured Streaming + NLP) on its way to completion in July, we are now opening registration for a new working group – this time centered around Apache Druid: Building live dashboards with Apache Druid + Superset. The working group aims to take place End of July – October and will bring together a team of 5-6 participants that will define the scope, select the data (open data), install the needed components, implement the needed flow. Besides the participants for this group we will have a team of advisors (with experience in Druid and big data in general) that will advise the participants on how to solve different issues that will arise in the project.

Some Christians do not believe that the spiritual gifts (such as healing, speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, etc) are meant for today, and others believe that IF they are still around today they are not to be actively sought but can still be received and accepted if God would one day choose to give a certain believer one or more gifts. The Bible however is clear on that we should be eager to seek the spiritual gifts, and particularly the most important ones. Even if we can be saved without these great tools that God has provided us, they are still important for our Christian life and they provide an extra dimension to our communication with God and each other. 1 Cor. 12:31 But COVET EARNESTLY the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. 1 Cor. 14:1 Follow after charity, and DESIRE spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. Not only the first apostles had the ability to transfer the Holy Spirit and/or the spiritual gifts to believers by laying on of hands, and neither is it exclusive to only priests/pastors and elders. All Christians can make use of the spiritual gifts and teach or encourage others to do the same! But what about Jas. 5:14? Does it not say there that only the elders can heal the sick? Jas. 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: Based on Bible Hub, the word “elders” above is a translation from the Greek adjective πρεσβύτερος (presbýteros Strong’s 4245), and when used as a noun it can be applied to an elder of a Christian assembly. It holds the meaning of a mature man (which is usually an old man) having seasoned judgment (experience) and/or a senior in a group. There is also a feminine counterpart which is presbyteras, as in 1 Tim. 5:2 and there is refers to mature/old women. Aged individuals are usually more experienced and wiser than younger ones. Note that the description does not mean that the individual must have a church position or a title, but neither is it an oxymoron that a pastor is also an elder/presbyteros. A church leader should definitely be a wise and mature person, and Paul lists many other qualifications for a church leader/presbyteros in his letters to the Corinthians and in his letter to Titus. 1 Tim. 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. If we go back to Jas. 5, it makes sense for the author James to advise believers to go to the elders in the church to get help since they are (supposed to be) wise and mature. During this time they were experienced when it comes to the gift of the Holy Spirit, such as healing. James also says that the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and “the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availaeth much”. In order to be a righteous man, he must confess his sins and repent, which is also confirmed in many other verses in the Bible. James clearly says that “pray one for another that you may be healed”, which shows that not only the elders have this ability – but they could certainly lead the way. We should not erroneously believe that a certain case of healing must be “fake” because we know that the healer (the person with the gift of healing) has not always been theologically correct or perhaps even acted in the wrong way on occasions. Healing is a gift of God but a person’s faith has lots to do with it – both when it comes to the person who heals as well as the person who gets healed. Jesus said on a few occasions “Your faith has healed you”. Jas. 5:15 And the prayer of FAITH shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. All pastors/church leaders are (supposed to be) presbyteros, but not all presbyteros are pastors/church leaders Other interesting verses where the word is used, and which prove that the description is not exclusive to church employees: Mat. 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? Mark 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? Luke 7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. The prodigal son Luke 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. The woman about to be stoned John 8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. Acts 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia. Acts 24:15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 1 Tim. 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. Hebr. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 1 Pet. 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:— 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Rev. 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. It makes sense that the word presbyteros ended up being gradually used interchangeably with a pastor/church leader, because the wisest and more experienced Christian men were often also appointed church leaders. Here is Torben speaking about the gift of healing and he is also touching on the subject of presbyteros. Share this: Facebook Twitter Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

Leave a comment Pray ye that your flight be not in the winter Matt. 24:20 Feb24 Prayers make a difference The first time we can read about people praying to God in the Bible (rather than having a conversation with him in person) is in Gen 4:26: Gen. 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. Reformed Christians might pray just as much as other Christians, but the question is why they make this effort considering that they also believe that we are not able to thwart God’s predestined plans no matter what we do (as per Calvinism). They might reply that they pray because God tells them to do so, but what would be the difference if they did not? If all things pan out exactly as God wants, surely we can afford to be extremely relaxed when it comes to praying? See the verses below. If we are able to cause the preferred season thanks to our prayers, then maybe we are able to influence people to have an open heart for the gospel as well? (Meaning; people are not predestined to be saved or damned from the foundation of the world.) Apparently God has not yet decided which season of the year the flight in question will take place, because Jesus asks us to pray about it. This is evidence that all things are not written in stone, and that we can affect things with our prayers. If we have an active prayer life, we will be stronger spiritually and will be better equipped to escape (and/or endure) hardship which will come to pass in the future: Matt. 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:—20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. We can pray that we will not enter into temptation, and we will become stronger spiritually if we pray. This is something that we are supposed to do, rather than placing the responsibility on God. Combining prayers with fasting is a good advice, which can also be done alone. However, Paul tells married couples to be united again so that Satan will not be able to tempt them. Again, this is something we are expected to do in order to affect our mind-set and the future. Matt. 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 1 Cor. 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. We can pray that God will send workers for the great harvest, which means that we can influence both people and God with our prayers: Matt. 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Speaking in tongues is something we should be eager to do (and do not let anyone tell you something else), but it is even better to be able to interpret the tongues. Speaking in tongues is one spiritual gift, and interpreting tongues is another separate one. The best combination is to have both gifts, because then we are able to edify even more people than just ourselves. We can pray about it!: 1 Cor. 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. When we pray, it helps if we believe that God can hear our prayers and that we are able to achieve what we pray and strive for (even if other elements are also involved). Our own faith can affect the outcome, and God will hear the prayer of the righteous. If we live in unrepentant sin, however, it is not certain that God will hear our prayers: Mark. 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 1 Tim. 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. Mark. 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Prov. 15:29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Prov. 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination . Dan. 9:4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; When Jesus became man in flesh, he prayed/communicated with his Father God just like we pray to God. Also Jesus can affect things thanks to prayer/communication, which of course is obvious since the whole world was created thanks to the divine words “Let there be light”: Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles Jesus shows through a parable, that we can definitely affect God with our prayers. Even someone who does not fear God might very well adhere to constant pleadings. This does not mean that God will not listen to us the first time but requires constant pleadings before he does, but the point is that even a bad person might eventually give in for constant crying and pleadings, so would not our Father in heaven even more pay attention to his children’s urgent prayers?: Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Jesus taught us how to pray, and he gave us an example. We can pray for the outcome of things, we can give thanks for what we already have (regular food), etc. We can also pray that his will shall be done, which indicates that it is not certain that the best option for all mankind or individuals will always take place. Praying is therefore important tool. Notice the moral sense: “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.3 Give us day by day our daily bread.4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Paul constantly prayed for others, and wanted to be prayed for himself. This is because he knew that prayers can influence things for the better: Rom. 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers 2 Cor. 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. Rom. 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. Phil. 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 2 Cor. 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 2 Thess. 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: Col. 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:— 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 2 Cor. 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 1 Thess. 3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 2 Thess. 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 2 Tim. 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Philemon 1:22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. We can pray that people will receive the Holy Ghost: Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: As believers we can pray that people can get healed. All people will not get healed all the time and live forever (Lazarus, who came back to life thanks to Jesus, eventually died), but if you for instance check the mission by TLR and Torben Søndergaard, Christians indeed have been given the power to heal in the name of Jesus: Acts 28:8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. Ja. 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. You cannot expect to fall in a miraculous trance or see visions, unless you spend time in prayer (like Peter, John, Daniel, etc): Acts 22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance The prayers from righteous believers can be seen together with the smoke of incense before God: Rev. 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 1 Pet. 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. God heard the prayers of Zacharia: Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.—13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Cornelius was a righteous God-fearing man, and before he received the holy Ghost, God heard his prayers and saw his works: Acts 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. God heard the prayers of Hezekiah and saw his tears. He gave him support and added 15 more years to his life time: 2 King. 20:5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. We can learn a lot from the book of Jonah when it comes to prayer. Even the pagan mariners understood that it was a good idea to pray to God during times of trouble, and the they and Jonah alike understood that this particular problem occurred due to Jonah’s resistance to God. God has prepared a big fish to swallow up Jonah, but God also heard Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish and helped him out. The king of Nineveh also understood the power of prayers, fasting and the importance of a sincere repentance. The attitude of the inhabitants of Nineveh made God change his mind, and he decided to not do what he had previously said he would: Jonah 1:6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. Jonah 3:6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Below an important secret is revealed. We are able to take on the full armour of God – praying included – and this will make our spirits stronger. Notice also that Daniel through fasting and prayers received a special revelation, and how the angel explained to him that although his prayers were heard the first day, the prince of Persia (among the rulers of the darkness of this world …) withstood him for some time. This means that we should not give up since we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against invisible powers: Eph. 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel Dan. 10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.—11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days Share this: Facebook Twitter Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

Leave a comment Why do calvinists erroneously call all Free-willers ARMINIANS? May22 All arminians are free-willers, but not all free-willers are arminians Calvinists often reveal that they have studied too much calvinism and too little from non-calvinists, by making the mistake to automatically call us arminians as soon as we tell them that we are not calvinists (and the next step is to call us semi-pelagians). Since there may be issues within arminianism (which some people call “calvinism light”) that we disagree with, it’s wrong to automatically assume that we are arminians – because that would be like ascribing views to us that we may not have. It’s wrong to make a person who believes in synergism an arminian by default. Strangely enough, some calvinists are reluctant to rephrase themselves even when corrected! I still remember the first time I heard the phrase “arminian” (it’s a word not found in the Bible), and it was the first time someone assured me that I was one! (Funny to be an arminian your whole life without even knowing it…) I had not heard of James Arminius (1560-1609) either, and compared with all the books that I’d like to read, I feel no motivation to study up on what this particular person believed and to check whether I agree with him or not. I know loads of christians in real life and online, but I only know a couple who call themselves arminians. This tells me that arminians are very rare. There are no arminians in Sweden which I’m aware of, but I can certainly see that people constantly make free will choices in the Bible and often act against the will of God, so it’s not hard to find the concept of free will. I can understand if people would like to call themselves calvinists if they agree with John Calvin and also believe that he was first with his doctrines/theology (even if they don’t necessarily agree with everything he taught). Calvin was the one who started calvinism, even if he got many of his ideas from Augustine. It’s also a good way to show one’s basic principles by saying one single word “calvinist”. Calling oneself an arminian on the other hand, doesn’t make much sense if you have the same views as people who lived several hundred years before he did. (I do respect those who prefer to call themselves “arminians” – maybe for the sake of convenience when having dialogues with calvinists, or for other reasons.) ALL the early church fathers the first 300 years AD believed in free will without exception (see quotes here) and none of them taught that man was born with a sinful nature. This means that Mr Arminius was hardly the first person with his theology views, and it would make more sense to call oneself after Ignatius, Justin Martyr, Clement, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Eusebius, Origen, or some other church father who lived shortly after the death of Jesus. The disadvantage with calling oneself after a person, is that you are then expected to study the views of this person, in case someone asks you why you call yourself the way you do. If your claim is “I call myself an irenaeusian, because I believe in free will just like he did”, then the follow-up question is why you don’t call yourself after another theologian who also believes the same. This places an unnecessary burden on you to be forced to study books outside the Bible, and it takes valuable time from Bible reading. It’s of great value to study the views from the early church fathers (or reading books from other authors) and it’s sometimes I can recommend, but it’s wrong to make it a requirement. I personally feel no obligation to study up on what arminians believe due to the expectations from others. If I have an uncle who believes in free will, would it make sense to call myself after him, instead of a person who lived in the end of the 1500’s? If I lived prior to the year 1590 (when James Arminius was 30 years old and still sided with the calvininist Theodore Beza) what would I call myself? If a person doesn’t side with Mr Brown, does it follow that he absolutely HAS TO side with Mr Green? It’s one or the other and no other options? Let’s say that in the future a Mr White becomes a well-known christian and a man who believes in free will and who also writes famous books about it. Must I know change labels and call myself after HIM? I’m not against the idea to label oneself after a person per se, if the views in question originated with him. The Synod of Dort The synod of Dort was a Dutch regional conference (with a political context) which plays a big role for calvinists, but christians believed in free will long before this local meeting as well as afterwards. This synod was not a council of the Protestant churches of Europe, but a Dutch national synod to which some Reformed theologians were invited from various parts of Europe. It was not a free assembly for the discussion of the Bible, but a national ecclesiastical court for the trial of alleged heretics. Theodore Beza was John Calvin’s direct successor and he sent his disciple Arminius to Holland in 1589 to put down the arguments against his theology views. Beza believed that if God was absolutely sovereign and man helpless in sin and that men are saved/damned by predestination, then it followed that God causes men to sin just as he causes men to be saved. This position existed also in various degrees in Augustine and Calvin’s theology. The opponents argued that if God causes sin then God is in point of fact the author of sin. Arminius changed his position (against Beza) when starting to research the topic deeper and comparing with the Bible. Whenever Arminius was given a chance to publicly defend his theology, his sound scholarship won the argument and nobody wanted to publicly debate against him. Nobody suggested that the Remonstrants mishandled Scripture but only that they failed to use Scripture to defend a predetermined position. Ironically nearly all of those who opposed Arminius wanted him to quit preaching the Bible as the final authority, because they felt such a message undermined their own authority. To settle this, Arminius sought after a synod to publicly debate and settle the theological and political rift that had occurred in Holland about these issues but he was denied a synod during his lifetime. Instead a synod was made after his death under conditions all together different from what he and his followers expected. Free debate was denied and the Remonstrants were treated as criminals. They were present only as defenders, and the calvinists were the accusers, and never the other way around. Four days after the Synod’s closure, those same leaders beheaded Johan van Oldenbarnevelt for the crime of general perturbation (treason) for his support of the Remonstrants. About the synod we can read: “Whosoever casts his eye over the list of the foreign divines that composed this last of Protestant councils will find scarcely one man who had not distinguished himself by his decided opposition to the doctrine of conditional predestination, and who was not consequently disqualified from acting the part of an impartial judge of the existing religious differences, or that of a peace-maker.” William Birch: “Arminianism was condemned at the Synod of Dort (1618-19). And what of it? A group of supralapsarian Calvinists joined theological and political forces, calling on foreign political allies, to ruin the reputation, ministry, and systematic theology of some theologians who disagreed with their doctrines on soteriology. And this local phenomenon is supposed to carry weight in thwarting Arminianism? History itself is a witness to the sham of an operation under which the Calvinists instigated the hearings of the Synod of Dort.” Read more about the unfair and horrible events concerning the Synod of Dort and the aftermath here Share this: Facebook Twitter Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

Leave a comment “The wind bloweth where it listeth” in John 3:8, doesn’t mean God randomly regenerating people Nov16 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit (John 3:8) KJV The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. (John 3:8) NKJV This verse is about the wind and not about us. The verse suggests that the process of spiritual rebirth is an unseen thing which is related to God who is unseen – so that those watching cannot see the origin of the Spirit and the change wrought in the man. The invisible God is naturally the source of spiritual rebirth – but he has set the criteria for when the spiritual rebirth occurs. Being born of God comes as a result of the spiritual rebirth, and the Bible says that when we come to God we must believe that our seeking will result in the encounter we seek – a close relationship with Jesus Christ and a transformed life – which is an unseen process LIKE THE WIND! We can’t see the wind directly, but indirectly we can see what the wind can do – when it blows through trees/bushes and when it moves loose objects on the ground. Hebr. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. This does not indicate that the spiritual rebirth happens out of the blue disconnected to any seeking on the part of the new Christian. Calvinism, on the other hand, reverses the process of rebirth which is fatal, because it exempts human beings from the responsibility to seek and find God – since God does all this for them (if they are elect). God, in his kindness, responds to honest humble seeking on the part of a broken man, and he calls the lost for repentance. Those who are NOT lost don’t need to repent (the case could be that they have already repented for their sins), and again Jesus did not call that category – the “non-lost” christians – to repentance but only the lost individuals! This totally refutes the calvinistic idea that Jesus died only for the elect, because the true christians here must surely be those that have repented for their sins and become cleansed in the blood of Jesus, and we can read in these verses that Jesus did not call them for repentance, but all OTHERS. The reason why he call all others for repentance, is because the others are already on safe ground. Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Matt. 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Man cannot find God without him first having revealed himself to man, and he certainly has. John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.—8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: It’s certainly true that we can’t enter the kingdom of God unless we are born again (from God who is above), and that’s why we should seek God, repent for our sins in order to be cleansed and become new persons. God did not send his son to condemn the world, but to SAVE the world, and he doesn’t want anyone to perish. However, he is not going to force us to confess our sins and repent, but he influences us by sending out prophets (as in the old testament) and his WORD in the gospel, with the hope that as many as possible will choose to come to him to get life. The context: John 3:5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Now, lest you get any crazy ideas… no, I do not have a cookbook deal to announce. No, this will never be available for purchase. No, most of these recipes will never be posted on Fridgg (my mother would murder me). And no, I will never be writing my own cookbook (I’ll leave that to the other Allison Day, who does quite a fine job of it! Seriously, go buy her cookbooks, she’s awesome.) No, this was just a little pet project, that turned into a really big pet project, that we finally finished just in time to order them and hand deliver each and every one of them to all my family members at Thanksgiving last year. Suffice to say, if I ever had any urge to write a cookbook, I’ve gotten it all out now. Between cooking, photographing, writing, designing, and editing an entire cookbook, we nearly lost our minds… and we didn’t even have to develop the recipes! Mad respect for all the actual published cookbook authors out there – it’s a heck of a lot of work. Sadly, both of the people who inspired me to put together this cookbook – my grandmother, who was responsible for all these recipes becoming family favorites, and my dad, who wrote the original “Mrs. Kaji’s Cookbook” when I was a child – passed away before we finished this project. However I was lucky enough to be able to show both of them a good number of the photos before they passed away, and both were very happy with the result. So why am I sharing this now? Well, today would have been my grandmother’s birthday, so I figure there’s no better day to show off something we made in her honor. Plus it’s just a really good excuse to show off the photography that Son did for the cookbook. (And I also want to point out – LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFULLY HE DESIGNED THE ENTIRE COOKBOOK. He’s amazing.) 😁 So, without further ado, here are all the dishes and photos that went into the cookbook: okazu, stir-fried vegetables crescent tuna melt spaghetti casserole barbecued frankfurters, tempura spaghetti sauce beef stew enchiladas teriyaki chicken sweet and sour chicken wings, fish sticks miso soup fried rice potato salad, chicken chow mein cube steak, family steak teriyaki lazy man’s pot roast burrito meat, strawberry jam chocolate layer cake with chocolate ganache tsukemono, seven layer dip cheese roll rice stuffing, bread stuffing candied yams, yam pie banana cream pie cream puffs, gelatin salad, finger jello ritz cracker peanut butter sandwich cookies snickerdoodles date bars, refrigerator cookies pecan bars rolo pretzels, shoyu almonds shoyu chex mix, hot chocolate mix wontons (This was our cover photo, hence the odd layout.) stuffed somen salad chinese chicken salad, shrimp and cucumber tsunemono deep-fried pork strips You also might enjoy...

I would buy this BTW if it was for sale. I love the idea of the family recipe heirlooms and what it means to sit down and enjoy them together – having the book is cohesive way to maintain the traditions. And I would buy it to get a glimpse into the tastes of a family history as explored through food. Why not share it?

Charles and Ray Eames I’m a Preservation Specialist in the Moving Image Section, which means I have responsibility for ensuring the physical integrity of our film and video collections. I also manage many of the contracts we have with vendors for things like equipment maintenance, and I’m also involved with various preservation projects, particularly films in the Charles and Ray Eames Collection. The Eameses worked with many companies over the course of their long career, but are most closely associated with the furniture manufacturer Herman Miller, manufacturers of the iconic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman among other Eames designs. Charles and Ray also made films about their Herman Miller designs, and recently the company has been funding restorations of those films by the Library of Congress, where we hold all the original elements. Today an article was published in Herman Miller’s online magazine, “WHY,” about these preservations, but I want to provide a little more background on the collection and my involvement with it. On November 19, 1982, Ray Eames signed a deed of gift to bequeath the Eames Collection to the Library of Congress. The donation included paper, photographs, and motion pictures. Due to a number of delays, the relocation of the moving image materials from the Eames Office to the Library’s Landover, Maryland, facility was not finished until 2004. Because the Library was busy planning and moving all of its audiovisual collections to the Packard Campus in Culpeper, Virginia, not long after that, the collection was not accessible for a number of years. I got involved in 2011 when filmmakers working on the documentary The Architect and the Painter visited the Packard Campus. In order to find footage to use in their film, they worked with us to sort the collection by title. This allowed me to begin investigating titles and creating a preservation plan. Powers of Ten (1978), the couple’s most well-known film and which was named to the National Film Registry in 1998, was the first film we preserved. We then started on their Technicolor films, because the Eameses had made protection masters for those films specifically for future duplication and they were in very good condition. The National Film Preservation Foundation awarded a grant to the Library in 2013 for preservation of one of these Technicolor titles, Day of The Dead (1957). To date we have preserved 20 films, either photochemically or digitally, including two of their multiscreen exhibitions: Glimpses of the U.S.A., shown at the American Exhibition in Moscow in 1958, and Think, shown at the 1964 World’s Fair. For a variety of reasons, a number of the Eames works were preserved by digital methods only, without creating new film elements. For example, the multi-screen works would be too costly to preserve on film, and no current exhibitors have the means to show them in their original form (the 1964/65 World’s Fair used two projection booths and seven projectors to show Think). However, there are many benefits to having new film negatives and prints made. Polyester film stock is a very stable medium for long-term storage and preservation, and can be inspected without any equipment if necessary. Many venues still request 35mm prints of the Eames Collection for screenings. Having new film elements allows for quick re-scanning as digital imaging technologies reach higher resolutions over time. This prevents going back and re-scanning the fragile originals time and again. Herman Miller staff members understood these benefits, and included the creation of new film negatives and prints in their preservation funding to help the Library preserve the legacy of the Eames and Herman Miller collaboration. Herman Miller staff contacted us in 2017 to borrow some Eames films for a screening in New York, particularly ones that featured Eames-designed furniture sold by the company: S-73 (Sofa Compact) (1954), Eames Lounge Chair (1956), Soft Pad (1970), and The Fiberglass Chairs — Something of How They Get the Way They Are (1970). The Library had already preserved Eames Lounge Chair, and had digital and 35mm film copies available for loan, but no work had been done on the other three films at that point. I spoke with Herman Miller archivist Amy Auscherman, explaining our in-house photochemical limitations (we can process black-and-white film, but not color) and our need for funding to outsource external laboratory work. After this conversation, Herman Miller generously offered to donate money to the Library for photochemical preservation of Soft Pad and The Fiberglass Chairs. There was money remaining after these titles were completed, so the Moving Image Section added appropriated funds and also preserved S-73 (Sofa Compact). My job was to investigate what materials we had, inspect them, determine a plan for preservation, and write and execute a contract for outside lab work. For a number of the Eames films, there are minimal elements available for preservation—possibly one complete picture negative and one track negative. Because those items are often showing signs of deterioration, it is imperative to have them preserved because once those originals are lost, there may not be enough material to piece them back together at a later date. Soft Pad was preserved from a 35mm color negative, 35mm track negative and 35mm color print (one of the Eameses’ personal “house prints” that they showed to friends and visitors). Colorlab, in Rockville, Maryland, won a competitive contract for the lab work. Once they started looking at the film, they felt unsure about the color correction. In addition to the faded color in the original elements, Charles and Ray shot a portion of the Soft Pad slides on infrared film (you can see it in the clip embedded in the Herman Miller article at 3:50). This made the bowl of fruit in the shots a terrible reference point. I sent them another scanned 16mm print, but we still were unsure we were accurately representing the original chair colors. I contacted Amy Auscherman again, and she sent over this photo of leather colors used in the original furniture. The swatches listed under “Best Aucht Leather” were used for the original Soft Pad chairs. After we received this image, I was able to visit AJ Rohner, Film Preservation Manager, at Colorlab. We used the swatches to match up, as closely as possible, the images in the film with the leather colors of the chairs. Another issue we encountered with the preservation work was with the soundtrack of S-73 (Sofa Compact). When Colorlab sent the audio files they had transferred, they sounded, well, awful. This was not Colorlab’s fault; the problems were inherent in the track element. Once again, there were not many other track elements to use. I was concerned we would need to go back to unmixed magnetic tracks, which would have been time-consuming and costly. Trying to avoid this, I requested any sound files the Eames Office had available, and they luckily had one. I then contacted the Library’s Audio Lab Supervisor Rob Friedrich, hoping he could perform some magic. He assured me that he could make an improved file from what we had available, so I breathed a sigh of relief. He cleaned up the track enough to remove the flaws that overpowered the viewing experience. (Photo courtesy of Herman Miller Archives) Luckily, The Fiberglass Chairs was an easier preservation. Colorlab used a combination of 16mm and 35mm picture elements. See if you can identify when one ends and one begins in the clip embedded in the article. It’s very hard to tell; they are so closely matched. The magnetic track featuring Buddy Collette’s score was transferred at Audio Mechanics in Burbank, California. Now that these three works are finished, we hope to work with Herman Miller on preserving additional Eames/Herman Miller films. Amy Auscherman and some colleagues visited the Packard Campus last month. They now have a better understanding of the film preservation process, while I gained new insight into their corporate archives and the company’s long relationship with Charles and Ray Eames. I was disappointed when they told me that buyers of the Eames sofa compact are no longer required to assemble it, like the couples in the film. After watching it so many times, I was confident I could earn some extra money putting them together for people.

Your blog uses the word “restoration” and also the word “preservation.” Many of your readers will be familiar with archiving semantics, where some specialists distinguish between making a copy with few (or no) adjustments–often called preservation–and the more elaborate fixing that gets us closer to an original look and sound, when supported by reasonable evidence–often called restoration. Your use of both terms as you recount the path you followed is a nice reminder that it can sometimes be tough to make that distinction: you navigated the realms of preservation and restoration in a complex way.

Recent advances in genomics allow comparison of TLR genes within and between many species. This study takes advantage of the recently sequenced chicken genome to determine the complete chicken TLR repertoire and place it in context of vertebrate genomic evolution. Results The chicken TLR repertoire consists of ten genes. Phylogenetic analyses show that six of these genes have orthologs in mammals and fish, while one is only shared by fish and three appear to be unique to birds. Furthermore the phylogeny shows that TLR1-like genes arose independently in fish, birds and mammals from an ancestral gene also shared by TLR6 and TLR10. All other TLRs were already present prior to the divergence of major vertebrate lineages 550 Mya (million years ago) and have since been lost in certain lineages. Phylogenetic analysis shows the absence of TLRs 8 and 9 in chicken to be the result of gene loss. The notable exception to the tendency of gene loss in TLR evolution is found in chicken TLRs 1 and 2, each of which underwent gene duplication about 147 and 65 Mya, respectively. Conclusion Comparative phylogenetic analysis of vertebrate TLR genes provides insight into their patterns and processes of gene evolution, with examples of both gene gain and gene loss. In addition, these comparisons clarify the nomenclature of TLR genes in vertebrates. Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) perform a vital role as sentinels of the innate immune system in their host organism through the recognition of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). PAMP recognition is achieved through binding to the extracellular leucine rich repeat (LRR) containing domain, specific to each receptor type [1]. In response to ligand binding, signalling is activated by the cytoplasmic Toll/interleukin I resistance (TIR) domain resulting in an inflammatory response and release of inflammatory cytokines. This is an evolutionarily highly conserved domain, present in a wide range of taxa from plants to animals indicating the first Toll-like gene existed in the unicellular ancestor of plants and animals over 1 billion years ago [2–6, 1]. The first Toll gene to be discovered was in Drosophila melanogaster, which encodes a receptor involved in developmental patterning, but more importantly also in resistance to fungal infections [7]. In animals, these genes can be sub-divided into two simple categories based on taxonomy; the Toll genes of Protostome taxa and the TLRs of Deuterostomes [5, 6]. It is likely that Toll originally had a purely developmental role and that this during the course of evolution became combined with disease resistance functions in coelomate organisms, to protect the body cavity from infectious pathogens [3, 5]. Although TLRs have been identified in many animal lineages the majority of research has been carried out on eutherian mammals, especially humans and mice [8, 9]. In recent years, however, advances in teleost genomics have led to the rapid discovery of TLR genes in fugu and zebrafish [10–12]. Moreover, recent analyses of chicken ESTs and genome sequences have revealed TLRs in chicken [13–17]. Gene gain and gene loss are important evolutionary processes, especially with respect to gene family dynamics [18–22]. Gene duplication is believed to be the principal cause by which new genes are created. Gene gain can occur either on a large scale from a whole genome duplication or on a small scale when chromosomal sections or individual genes are copied. Single gene duplications occur by tandem duplications as a result of either unequal crossing over or by retrotransposition [19]. Retrogenes are clearly recognised by their lack of introns and are often found to be non-functional paralogs, as regulatory sequences are usually missing [23]. Gene gain is frequently followed by differential gene loss either by mutation in one gene isoform leading to the creation of a pseudogene or by complete deletion [24–26]. It is believed that gene deletion closely follows duplication in the majority of cases [27]. The process of gene gain and gene loss is believed to occur at a constant rate with the exception of an episode of whole genome duplication in vertebrates ~500 Mya [22]. On occasions where both genes remain active one may be freed from purifying selection and be able to evolve a new function, or it may retain its original function but alter its tissue expression profile [18, 28, 26]. To define TLR orthologs and uncover the pattern of gene duplication and/or gene loss in vertebrate lineages, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of all known TLR sequences. Our results confirm all of the chicken TLR genes found in previous studies [13–17] and do not detect any more. Our findings also confirm and extend the sequence and structure of these genes and corroborate the presence of duplicated genes as being separate genes and not splice variants of the same gene. Aims The major aims of this investigation were to determine what TLRs are present in chicken and determine where unmapped TLR genes are located. These data then allowed us to define orthologs in other species and examine TLR gene family evolution using phylogenetic methods. These analyses allowed us to characterise the variation within and between vertebrate lineages, as well as the dynamics of TLR gene gain/gene loss. In addition, TLR gene nomenclature issues were also addressed. Results Definition of orthologs and TLR gene nomenclature Sequences newly identified as TLRs and those that have previously been named are listed in Table 1. Suggested alterations to nomenclature are devised in accordance with the standards of human genome nomenclature. Of particular note is the sequence Genbank: AY531552, which has sometimes previously been described as mouse TLR11 [29, 30] although it shares its sequence with Genbank: AK136724, AK143385 and AY510705, all of which are described as TLR12. Phylogenetic and structural analyses combined with gene mapping data in mouse and rat have led to this investigation regarding AY531552 as mouse TLR12. Our phylogenetic analyses showed the Lethenteron japonicum (lamprey) TLRs to be duplicated forms of TLR14 and various fish TLRs to be TLR22. A TLR5 in Xenopus laevis was also defined [Genbank: BC084773]. Table 1 Suggested changes in nomenclature of TLR genes Full size table TLR gene discovery in chicken and other vertebrates We used a total of 143 non-redundant TLR sequences (Additional file 1) in this study, representing 26 TLR genes from 30 different species as described in Table 2. Table 2 Function and taxonomic presence of known TLRs Full size table This investigation confirms the presence of the 10 TLRs in the chicken found in previous studies [13–17] and found no further TLRs. This is the same number as found in human and two fewer than in mouse. Chicken TLRs 3, 4, 5 and 7 are directly orthologus to those found in other vertebrates. The duplicated genes, TLRs 2A and 2B found in the chicken are both orthologs of the single TLR2 of mammals. Chicken TLR21 is an ortholog of TLR21 in fish and amphibians. It appears that TLRs 1LA, 1LB and 15 are unique to birds (see Tables 2 and 3). Table 3 Chicken TLR details Full size table The chicken TLR repertoire contains tandem duplications of the genes for TLRs 1L and 2 [31, 17]. A partial sequence of chicken TLR1LB has been described previously by Yilmaz et al. [17]. Using RT-PCR we have sequenced and cloned the full length mRNA [Genbank: DQ518918]. This sequence includes two further exons which, although transcribed, are not translated. Using synonymous substitution rates (see Materials and Methods) we estimated the gene duplication events that gave rise to TLR1LA, 1LB and 2A, 2B to have taken place 147 and 66 Mya respectively. The chicken is also found to be missing a number of TLRs, which are present in most mammals. The TLR7, 8 and 9 subfamily is present in fish and mammals but is only represented by TLR7 in the chicken [14, 16, 17]. TLR8 is present as a pseudogene [32] and TLR9 has been deleted. Genetic Mapping of chicken TLR1LA and B genes The chromosomal locations of most chicken TLRs are known [17], with the exception of TLR1LA and TLR1LB which, based on a single sequence contig [Genbank: NW_001471687] map close together on an unmapped chromosome [17]. Sequencing of a genomic fragment from TLR1LB locus from parents of the East Lansing reference mapping cross, identified two SNPs in TLR1LB. Genetic linkage analysis of TLR1LB showed linkage to chromosome 4 (see Table 3). Structural analysis of proteins and selective constraints on functional domains Comparisons of structural predictions for the chicken TLRs show them to have a varied structure [17]. The newly discovered TLR15 has the unusual feature of many LRRs clustered towards the C-terminus of the molecule and few at the N-terminus (Figure 1). TLR7 has the uncharacteristic feature of a splice variant with two predicted trans-membrane (TM) domains only previously found in mammalian TLR6 (see Additional file 2). The predicted structure of the TLR1LB fragment described by Yilmaz et al. [17] is shown to have a further predicted TM domain towards the N-terminus whereas the majority of TLRs have a single TM domain between the extracellular and intracellular domains (Additional File 2). The predicted structure of this TLR is otherwise very similar to TLR1LA only missing the two LRRs at the N-terminus (see Figure 1). By contrast the duplications of TLR2 are marked by the absence of an LRR from TLR2A, which is present in all other known TLR2s (Additional File 2). Figure 1 Chicken TLR structures. SMART structure of chicken TLRs. Structures joined by { shows the two equally likely structures of TLR21. Dark blue rectangles represent trans-membrane regions while green bands indicate LRRs involved in PAMP recognition (LRR-TYP represents typical LRRs, whereas LRR represents LRR outliers). Light blue rectangles and circles represent L terminal and C terminal LRRs respectively, thin red bars represent signal peptides and thin pink bars segments of low compositional complexity. Motifs with the prefix PFAM represent those that are recognised by the PFAM database. Full size image Phylogeny of vertebrate TLRs Molecular phylogenies based on sequence alignments are only as accurate as the alignment data from which they are produced; consequently it is important that the alignment data quality is determined [33–35]. In order to assess the alignment's tree like structure, likelihood mapping was carried out and showed the sequence alignment data to have strong phylogenetic signal (Figure 2). Both phylogenetic methods used produced near identical topologies, which were strongly supported with bootstrapping (see Figures 3 and 4). Close up images of individual clades in Fig. 3 are shown in Additional files 4, 5 and 6. Close up images of individual clades in Fig. 4 are shown in Additional files 7, 8 and 9. Figure 2 Likelihood map of TLR protein alignment. The high density of points in the apexes of the triangle indicates the strong amount of structure and therefore great suitability for phylogenetic analysis.

Full size image Figure 4 Phylogeny of TLR protein data using Maximum Parsimony. Of 1386805 rearrangements tried three equally parsimonious trees were found, phylogeny is unrooted. The numbers at the nodes indicate percentage bootstrap values of the 1000 bootstrap replicates, only values greater than 50 are shown. Full size image The majority of TLRs form specific clades, with each species containing one copy of each receptor (e.g. TLRs 3, 4 and 5). The main exception to this trend is the assemblage of receptors named TLR1, which have independently evolved in fish, Xenopus, chicken, opossum and eutherian mammals (see Figures 3 and 4). These genes are not orthologs but have often been given the same name, which creates some confusion (see Table 1). The same is true for TLR5S in fish, where a soluble TLR5 has independently evolved in different fish species [36] (see Figures 3 and 4). The presence of most TLR gene families across so great a range of vertebrate taxa indicates that the majority of TLR families must have been established prior to the evolutionary radiation of vertebrates in the Cambrian Period 540-505 Mya [37]. Phylogenetic analyses show that chicken TLR21 is an ortholog of fugu and Xenopus TLR21. Chicken TLR15 shares a clade with TLRs 1, 2, 6, 10 and 14 (Figures 3 and 4), but the precise nature of this relationship remains unresolved due to the small number sequences available. TLRs 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 form a clade that mainly follow the expected species tree; the exceptions to this being the loss of chicken TLRs 8 and 9 and the gain of soluble versions of TLR5 in teleost fish. Gene gain has been comparatively common in the clade consisting of TLRs 2, 14 and the 1, 6, 10 assemblage. The TLRs in this clade are found to respond to bacterial pathogens, and in mammals and chicken have been shown to function heterodimerically [3, 38]. No specific ligand has been identified for the clade containing TLR 13, 21 and 22 (Table 2). The neighbour joining tree (Figure 3) attaches the TLR 11–12 clade to this group. The positioning of this clade is not as well supported by neighbour joining as it is using maximum parsimony, which places the TLR11–12 clade basal to the TLR3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 group (Figure 4). Both the TLR11–12 clade and TLR13-21-22 clade share a history of multiple gene loss events. TLRs 14, 22 and 23 have been found to have been lost from all land animals (see Figures 3 and 4). Discussion Structural and phylogenetic analyses suggest the chicken TLR repertoire to consist of ten genes. Phylogenetic analyses show these to consist of six orthologs of mammals and fish, one fish ortholog and three unique to chicken. Chromosome mapping of chicken TLR genes shows them to be in syntenic positions compared to other animals. Half of the chicken TLR genes are located on chromosome 4 (Table 3). This large proportion of TLR genes on a single chromosome is due in part to the gene duplication TLRs 1L and 2 in the chicken (Figures 3 and 4). The homologues of these TLR genes in the human also map to a single chromosome [17] although this tendency is not found in other vertebrates. Comparison of the predicted structure of Toll-like receptors From protein alignments as well as SMART predictions it is evident that the TIR domain is highly conserved across many different receptor families whereas the extracellular LRR region shows great variation in the positioning of LRRs between receptors although a strong level of structural conservation across taxa for a given receptor (see Additional File 2). Chicken TLR7 has a predicted TM domain at the C-terminus as have the majority of TLRs, but also has an extra TM domain at the N-terminus. Similarly an extra TM domain at the N-terminus tip is predicted for Chicken TLR1LB as well as TLR6, a receptor present only in eutherian mammals. A TM domain is predicted at the N-terminal in fugu TLR1 but in this case the usual TM domain is not found at the C-terminal (Additional File 2). As the predicted N-terminal TM domain of TLR 1LB is also found in a number of related TLRs it is possible that this is a conserved feature. However, the absence of such a predicted structure from all examples of TLR7 other than chicken may mean that this feature is a result of the SMART program falsely interpreting a hydrophobic region. A pseudogene caused by an insertion event for TLR8 in chicken has been identified but TLR9 in chicken has been lost leaving only flanking regions where the TLR9 locus is predicted [32]. Phylogenetic analyses of the Toll-like receptor gene family There have been previous phylogenetic analyses of TLR data [4, 10, 15, 17]. Since the inclusion of more sequences improves the data quality of the alignment and consequently the phylogenies produced [19, 39], this investigation has been able to improve on phylogenetic analyses carried out by previous studies owing to the increased number of sequences available. This is corroborated by the likelihood mapping analysis (Figure 2) and the high bootstrap values by both neighbour joining (Figure 3) and parsimony (Figure 4) methods for the major TLR family groups. Also very similar trees are produced from neighbour joining and maximum parsimony analyses (Figures 3 and 4). Gain of Toll-like receptor genes The vast majority of duplications of whole TLR genes occurring since the Cambrian period have occurred in the clade containing TLRs 1, 2, 6 and 10. The first of these took place 300 Mya leading to the establishment of TLR 10 in the lineage that gave rise to the mammals. This was followed by TLRs 1 and 6 in the eutherian mammals 130 Mya [4]; data which are supported by Figures 3, 4 and Roach et al. [15]. A further duplication has occurred 147 Mya in the lineage that gave rise to modern birds, leading to avian TLR1LA and TLR1LB followed by the latest duplication 65 Mya producing TLR2A and TLR2B in the chicken. The duplication of TLR2 in the chicken lineage is not a unique event, other independent duplication events of TLR2 have occurred in X. tropicalis (Figures 3 and 4), the American alligator [4] and the ancestor of marsupial and eutherian mammals [15] the timing of these duplications, however, remains unknown. All of the LRRs of TLR1LA are in positions shared by closely related TLRs (Additional File 2). The much shorter TLR1LB has an almost identical 3' sequence and structure, but the two 5' exons and the start of the third and final exon are disrupted by stop codons and frame shifts. A start codon is found a short way into the third exon producing a product lacking the two N-terminal LRRs and including an extra predicted TM domain. The predicted structure of this receptor is the same as that reported in Yilmaz et al. [17] although the complete coding sequence of this gene is now complete (this paper) [GenBank: DQ518918]. Loss of Toll-like receptor genes Compared to the paucity of gene gain in the evolution of the TLR family there are many instances of gene loss. TLRs 14, 22 and 23 are not found in any land dwelling vertebrates and TLR4 has been lost in the majority of studied fish species, yet is preserved in land animals. TLRs 11, 12 and 13 found in a small number of animals are lost in birds and many mammals, however a pseudogene for human TLR12 has been reported [30]. Although TLR19 of the zebrafish and TLR16 of X. tropicalis clearly represent ancestral sequences of TLRs 11 and 12 (see Figures 3 and 4), there is no trace of a receptor of this kind to be found either in other fish, mammals or the chicken. This indicates that members of this group must have been lost on more that one occasion. Functional genes for TLRs 8 and 9 are absent from the chicken; TLR8 is present as a pseudogene [32] and TLR9 has been deleted from the genome. The inclusion of certain taxonomic groups would assist in our understanding of these gene losses. The inclusion of fish species (other than the ray-finned fish) and more basal tetrapods (squamata, anapsida etc.) would help to give a more precise idea of the point at which TLRs 22, 14 and 19 were lost. Conclusion We found chicken to have a total of ten TLRs, the same number as in humans but with only five human orthologs. Phylogenetic analyses show TLR families to be of ancient origin, predating the divergence of major vertebrate lineages. The chicken genome highlights recent instances of both gene loss and gene gain within TLRs which allows an insight into the patterns and processes of gene family evolution. Methods Sequence databases Candidate chicken TLR genes were identified using extensive searches for sequence homology using BLAST started by using the mouse and human sequences identified in Smith et al. [16] and the TIR protein consensus sequence from Meijer et al. [10] in the NCBI database [40] and the Ensembl genome browser [41]. Full coding region nucleotide and corresponding protein sequences were collected for as great a taxonomic range as possible as this improves the validity of the phylogenetic analysis [39]. Collected sequences were used in BLAST searches both into specific genomes and the general sequence database with the intention of identifying all available TLR sequences. The full sequence for chicken TLR1LB was determined using the original version of partial sequence Genbank: AY633573, the contig Genbank: NW_001471687 (the details described in Yilmaz et al. [17]) and EST Genbank: CD762233. The complete sequence was confirmed by sequencing cDNA fragments produced by RT-PCR (for list of primers see Additional File 3). To ensure that all chicken TLRs had been identified, Hidden Markov models (HMMs) were used to analyse the chicken genome [42]. When expected TLR homologues were found to be absent from the chicken (e.g. TLR9), the sequence contig for the expected chromosomal region was identified to ensure that the absence of a TLR was not the result of a gap in the genome sequence. Bioinformatics Complete protein sequences were assembled and labelled in BioEdit [43] before being aligned using ClustalX [44]. This program automatically produces a phylogeny that can be viewed in TreeView [45], which can be used as a rough guide although it is not suitable for in depth phylogenetic investigation [33]. The alignment was checked by visual inspection. To ensure that the alignment dataset was suitable for phylogenetic analyses likelihood mapping was carried out using the program TreePuzzle [46]. This method, although little used, is of great value for confirming the suitability of a dataset for use in tree building [35]. Likelihood mapping works by breaking down the alignment into quartets of sequences and assessing the likelihood of their three possible phylogenetic topologies. This information is displayed as points in an equilateral triangle where points located in the apexes represent strong 'tree like' phylogenetic signal, points between apexes give equal likelihood for two different tree topologies and points in the centre indicating 'star like' evolution [35, 46, 47]. A convenient way to infer events of gene duplication and gene loss is to note to what extent the gene phylogenies match the expected species phylogeny [20, 21, 48]. Incongruence in the close association between the two can usually be explained by episodes of gene duplication and/or gene loss in a given lineage [18, 20, 21, 34, 48]. Gene duplication followed by positive natural selection is seen as the principle means by which new gene functions arise [26, 49]. A study relating to the evolution of gene families on the chordates found the majority of duplications to have occurred early in chordate evolution. This can be easily maintained by the similarity between the orthologous genes in different species being greater than that found between members of the same gene family in the same species [50, 51]. Phylogenies were created in PAUP [52] using both parsimony and neighbour-joining methods. These two methods are used as each one analyses the data in different ways [19, 33]. Consequently, if tree topology is not shared by both methods it shows that these relationships may not represent evolutionary heritage. To determine the support for individual clades, 1000 bootstrap replicates were carried out on the trees produced by each method [53]. The structure of chicken TLRs was predicted using the SMART program [54] to analyse full length amino acid sequences. RNA extraction and tissue sources Tissues were collected and stored at -80°C from a Gallus gallus broiler presumed to be healthy. All tissues were ground under liquid nitrogen with a pestle and mortar. 100 mg samples of each tissue were trizol extracted and RNA quantified using a bench top spectrophotometer. To ensure RNA extractions were free from genomic DNA contamination, RNase free DNase (Promega) was used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. RNA samples were reverse transcribed using SuperScript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen Carlsbad CA) following the manufacturers guidelines, including the use of RNase H to remove complimentary RNA from the newly synthesised cDNA. All cDNAs were standardised using RT-PCR against the reference gene, GAPDH and the absence of contamination determined by the absence of bands in samples that had not undergone reverse transcription. Reverse-transctriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and PCR PCR was carried out in 10 μl volumes consisting of 10 pg template, 10× dNTPs (2 mM each), 10× PCR buffer, 5× GC solution, 0.4 U Taq and 5 pM each primer. List of primer sets used is shown in Additional file 3. PCR conditions for all reactions were as follows: 15 min 95°C followed by 30 cycles of 95°C for 30 seconds, 60°C for 30 seconds and 72°C for one minute followed by an extension step of 72°C for 5 minutes. Amplified PCR products were run by electrophoresis in a 1% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide and visualised using an ultra violet transilluminator. DNA sequencing As the sequence of TLR1LB was unclear from sequence files and EST data, the full sequence was confirmed using primers shown in Additional File 3. To improve sequence quality of TLR1LB TOP sequence (see Additional File 3) we collected PCR products from agarose gels using the QIAEXII gel extraction kit (Qiagen Hilden). Inserts were grown in bacterial colonies on agar plates before colonies were inoculated into LB medium and plasmids purified using the QIAprep Miniprep kit (Qiagen Hilden). For all other sequences (those used in the SNP analysis) PCR products were purified using ExoSap and sequenced in both directions using the BigDye® Terminator v3.1 Cycle sequencing kit. Genetic linkage mapping of Toll-like receptor genes Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the TLR1LB expression fragment (for primer list see Additional File 3) from Red Jungle Fowl and White Leghorn parent birds [55]. Sequences from offspring were sequenced and genotyped and these data used for genetic mapping. TLR1LA is known to map closely to TLR1LB [Genbank: NW_001471687]. Consequently this information can map both genes. The map locations of other chicken TLRs was determined using cDNA sequences in a BLAT search on the UCSC genome browser [56]. The sequence for chicken TLR2B was shown to contain a gap of unidentified nucleotides. This region was sequenced in both versions of TLR2 and the gap found to be an assembly artefact on both the February 2004 and May 2006 genome builds [Genbank: EF595650]. Calculation of time of divergence of duplicated genes Nucleotide alignments of chicken TLR duplications were created using DAMBE [57] which aligns nucleotide sequences to the protein alignment one codon at a time, thus allowing functionally similar areas of each gene to remain aligned and not become victim of codon slippage. Non-synonymous (dN) and synonymous sequence divergence (dS) were estimated with the codeml program in PAML [58] in Runmode = -2 with codonfreq = 2 using the Goldman and Yang [59] substitution model. The substitution rates were estimated using the nucleotide frequencies at each codon position using the F3 × 4 model [58] to estimate the expected codon frequencies. In order to get an estimate of the age of these duplications (T) the equation, r = K/(2T) [24] was used, where r is the neutral substitution rate per site per year and K is the total synonymous sequence divergence (dS) for the total aligned sequence (0.4119 and 0.184 for TLRs 1 like and 2 respectively). We used an overall estimate of r = 1.4 × 10-9 that we obtained by dividing the autosomal sequence divergence between chicken and turkey (0.1008) from Axelsson et al. [60] with the time of divergence between chicken and turkey of 28 × 106 – 45 × 106[61, 62]. References 1. O'Neill LAJ: TLRs: Professor Mechnikov, sit on your hat.

Use the tilde ~ symbol at the end of a Single word Term. For example, to search for variant spellings of "Tchaikovsky," use the fuzzy search: Tchaikovsky~ An additional parameter can specify the required similarity. The value is between 0 and 1, with a value closer to 1 only terms with a higher similarity will be matched. For example: Tchaikovsky~0.8 The default that is used if the parameter is not given is 0.5. Proximity Searches Use the tilde ~ symbol at the end of a Multiple word Term. For example, to search for economics and keynes that are within 10 words apart: "economics Keynes"~10 Range Searches To perform a range search you can use the { } characters. For example to search for a term that starts with either A, B, or C: {A TO C} The same can be done with numeric fields such as the Year: [2002 TO 2003] Boosting a Term To apply more value to a term, you can use the ^ character. For example, you can try the following search: economics Keynes^5 Which will give more value to the term "Keynes" Boolean Operators Boolean operators allow terms to be combined with logic operators. The following operators are allowed: AND, +, OR, NOT and -. Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS AND The AND operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boolean operator between two terms, the AND operator is used. The AND operator matches records where both terms exist anywhere in the field of a record. To search for records that contain "economics" and "Keynes" use the query: economics Keynes or economics AND Keynes + The "+" or required operator requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere in the field of a record. To search for records that must contain "economics" and may contain "Keynes" use the query: +economics Keynes OR The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching record if either of the terms exist in a record. To search for documents that contain either "economics Keynes" or just "Keynes" use the query: "economics Keynes" OR Keynes NOT The NOT operator excludes records that contain the term after NOT. To search for documents that contain "economics" but not "Keynes" use the query: economics NOT Keynes Note: The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results:

The blog of Cheryl Klein, reader, writer, children's books editor, and busy lady about town Monday, February 22, 2010 Metaphysical Monday: Preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray The Tino Seghal experibit at the Guggenheim that I referenced in last week's post put me in the mood for lighthearted but serious-minded philosophical discussion; and the audience-participation exercise at the beginning of this month was so fascinating and fun, I thought it could be fun to try something like that again. So I'm going to post below one of my favorite manifestos -- Oscar Wilde's preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray -- choose a line, and comment upon it in the comments; and I hope you too will pick out a line, mull it over a bit, and say whether you agree or disagree with it and why. Again, there are no right or wrong answers, just interesting human responses. And for the record, when I say this is one of my favorite manifestos, that's because to me it is the perfect match of form and content, completely embodying itself: It is clever, and beautiful (it sounds good, especially when read aloud), and delightful, and conscience-free, because its only interest is in its own cleverness, beauty, and delight. But I am not sure it is right or true, because I don't think Wilde was necessarily interested in right or truth; or, at least, they were lower on his priority list than the clever and the beautiful. . . . And lord, I have already begun my comment! So here's the manifesto. The italics on the last line are Wilde's. ~~~~~ Preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde ~~~~~ The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass. The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium. No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true can be proved. No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art. Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art. From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital. When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself. We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless. Posted by Cheryl at 8:01 PM Labels: Fun, Projects, Reflections 15 comments: Cheryl February 22, 2010 8:45 PM Having read the manifesto again, I think I was wrong in saying that "its only interest is in its own cleverness, beauty, and delight." Because I think Wilde is quite serious, actually -- or at least mostly serious: that art is something that is made, like a chair, say; and just as there aren't any moral or immoral chairs ("Chairs are well made, or badly made. That is all."), there is no moral or immoral art . . . just moral or immoral uses to which it can be turned. Then he denies the possibility of moral or immoral uses with "All art is quite useless," a statement with which I disagree profoundly. I usually judge works of art based upon their ability to move me emotionally, and the emotional reactions that art can provoke are HUGELY useful to the artist, propagandist, cover designer, and ad agency, and the people they serve. It's interesting, actually, that Wilde doesn't invoke ANY possible emotional reactions to art here other than admiration or anti-admiration -- whether you find something charming or not. Whereas I as a viewer/reader/etc. routinely laugh, or get angry, or gasp, or weep, or come away determined to change the world. . . . Wilde would either think me a fool for lacking his detachment ("Those who read the symbol do so at their peril"), or was so detached himself he couldn't conceive of such reactions. Or perhaps he found art and beauty so powerful that he had to pretend detachment ... What do you think? ReplyDelete Replies Reply Janet Johnson February 22, 2010 10:06 PM I think that Oscar Wilde is a devious man in the writing of this. I think he means every word he wrote, yet he wrote it in such a way that people are (ironically) pushed to a passion to disagree with at least some part of it. I can almost imagine him defending what he wrote against any protests with the emotional detachment you mention in your comment. Unfortunate, really, that he didn't live when he could have joined a debate team. He would have been a master. The line I choose to comment on is: "Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming." Such a subjective statement. After all, who is to decide what is ugly and what is beautiful? Does that mean that people who don't agree with us are corrupt? Feels like a very self-serving line. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Portia Pennington February 22, 2010 10:46 PM Oscar is either the grouchiest of grouches or he is having a wee bit of fun at his reader's expense. I do think he was serious, and I also think he was seriously having some fun, when he wrote this! I am responding to the following line: "No artist desires to prove anything." On this particular point I think Wilde is resoundingly correct. Art that sets out to prove something seems to me to be nothing more than a political or dogmatic statement. The first hint of a heavy handed message sends the particular art to the trash heap of provincialism and the short life of the moment. True art is a discovery, not a geometric proof. It is a discovery of some small nugget of truth, of beauty, of horror, of grief. it is the subtlest unwrapping of a tiny portion of life--it may require the epic sweep of a great novel or simply the three lines of a haiku--but art doesn't prove. It celebrates. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Unknown February 23, 2010 7:50 AM All art is quite useless. I had already picked out the line I wanted to comment on, but when I reached the end I realized that the final line perfectly encapsulates the meaning of all that comes before it. I've always heard the maxim that the more something is needed, the less it can truly be enjoyed and savored. I think that's why so many marriages end in divorce. You shouldn't need another person, but you should want them desperately. Art is that way too. It should have no value on it own, apart from the emotional/spiritual connection given to it by those who enjoy it. That's why some people look at a Ferrari and ask, "why?" To which I respond by saying, "because it's beautiful..." Art is truly what separates us from the rest of the creatures on earth. We're the only ones who create things that are completely useless. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Patricia Nesbitt February 24, 2010 12:02 PM All art is quite useless. I would take issue with this statement and pose a question. Would you want to live in an artless world? Emphatically, I would answer no. And add another question: What does art do for me, for us? Art affords a format in which we can respond to inspiration. It provides a platform for sharing our appreciation of the creation around us, for our creator. It releases emotion. Through art, an exchange of understanding and emotion takes place between creator and audience, no matter the art form. Could we get along just fine without the sculpture and paintings of Michelangelo? Or without the poetic musings of Emily Dickinson? Would it matter if I had never read Little Women or Wuthering Heights or Roots? Did I really need to see Baryshnikov soar into the heights or experience the rapid-fire taps of Xavion Glover? Was there any value to my hearing The Messiah or the sweet tenor of Pavarotti? I suppose I could go through my days just fine without these experiences, but I am so much the richer for them. Just like I could exist on meals of meat and potatoes, but I want the spice and the dessert in life. I want to feed not just my body, but my soul; my spirit. That’s what art does for us—it feeds our souls. It allows us to transcend the ordinary and experience the divine, albeit in brief snatches. I, myself, am very grateful that there are those among us who can create art and bring this enrichment into my ordinary life. For me, art makes all the difference. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous February 24, 2010 5:41 PM "It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors." Perhaps art is useless because it is always seen through the lenses of the person observing it. Conclusions cannot be reached ahead of time by the creator about the way it will make someone feel. Rather only about the way it makes the creator feel. For instance, several who-knows-how-many teenagers read Twilight and formed a cultic following, while whole groups of what we might call “literary observers” believe it is poorly written. Does it matter? No. Personal perception is both the power and the downfall of any piece of art. I've seen the Mona Lisa and toured the Louvre and I didn't exactly do back flips and yet the Mona Lisa lives in the most expensive square footage in the world (as to protect it from the great dangers of air and light and the occasional destructive curator or rock tosser.) On the other hand, I've watched Rent and In the Heights on Broadway and been completely taken with the stories of home and unconditional love. Doesn't that say something about me, the spectator? These are themes that matter to me and the way I view life. But, they might be quite useless to you. You might have your skirt completely flipped over the most popular piece of art on the planet, and that says something about you. Just like all those teenagers and (shhhhh- teenage moms) that read Twilight and remember or longed for those feelings of first and unbelievable love. While I have neither the clout nor the portfolio to make amendments to Oscar, I would say this piece would be more beautiful and perfect if he had but added two words to the end: All art is quite useless to someone.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply Stephen March 01, 2010 10:43 AM Perhaps, and I'm not saying I agree with Oscar Wilde here, "all art is useless" simply means that something ceases to be art once it is put to use. For example, art that is used for propaganda purposes becomes propaganda. Art that is used for therapy becomes a therapeutic tool. This could also work in the reverse, say with something like a car. A car is built to be a car, and when it is used as a car it is simply a car, but when it is displayed at a car show or in a museum or in a private collection it ceases being a car (i.e. a useful object) and becomes art (i.e. a useless object).

ReplyDelete Replies Reply تقنية October 20, 2010 10:20 AM thats a strange story !! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous October 24, 2011 3:04 AM ...All art is quite useless. I'm just finishing up a paper on Wilde's preface. And I've been worried that - despite my professor telling the class that the preface is more sophisticated than how simple it may appear at first - maybe I'm over-reading it a bit, having done a microscoping, line-by-line analysis. It seems to me that the preface as a whole can almost be, not sophisticated, but actually convoluted. But I think it's almost Wilde's artistic, mocking mimicry of the art criticism that Wilde is actually criticizing himself. That would be in his character, I believe. What I found further ironic is that I was only able to get to that conclusion (which I SWEAR is accurate, despite my crossed eyes at this point) by analyzing the piece with, again, the same criticism that I think Wilde is criticizing. But ultimately, my analysis lead quite naturally to what I think is Wilde's conclusion, in his bold, final statement, "All art is quite useless." For truly, he did not mean the obvious, as he, himself, was an artist. I believe his the credo of his manifesto is: Let beauty simply be. Then, again - my eyes are crssoed rihgt now. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Savannah November 30, 2012 10:38 PM I am a late in joining in on this but I really enjoyed all of you guys' thoughts. I really enjoyed the bit: No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. I feel like, going with the last comment on letting beauty simply be, too often we over-analyze the artist's motives and beliefs and religion and point, but sometimes the artist is just expressing a feeling, posing a question or playing devil's advocate. I believe, a true artist can let his work become something that represents something completely outside of himself. He can write a poem on something he has never experienced because is a storyteller and an artist. He can take on the mindset of a drug dealer in a painting because, again, he is a storyteller. True artists express visually what philosophers contemplate thoughtfully. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...

Bookmark Discussion Remove Bookmark Report as Inappropriate Worried about CP kdb0923 Yesterday and the day before, I tested and got faint lines that I thought were BFP. However yesterday morning I also woke up with stomach cramps, and after looking at my temp on my chart it had dropped both days (and yesterday was at/below CL) so I was worried. This morning I retested and the line was stronger than ever and my temp is much higher (though still not back up to where the others were before the drop) Do you guys think I am “safe” or should I test again tomorrow too? I haven’t told my husband and he comes home Friday. I don’t want to make it a “celebration” to find out the baby has passed :( Reply 20+ Similar Discussions Found 9 Comments Newest First Oldest First Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate kdb0923 My temp chart and today’s test from 9 mins (just to show the strongest line for pics, I could see the line starting at 3 mins) Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate beccake @kdb0923, Congrats! If it was me, I would keep testing for a few days because I'm a little obsessive like that. That said, your test today looks reassuring! My BFP never got quite that dark during my CP. Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate FourIsACrowd congrats! That’s definitely a clear BFP. Unfortunately, there really isn’t any “safe” time in a pregnancy. That’s why most people wait until 12 weeks to share the news since they’ve now crossed into the SAFEST time ... but unfortunately you aren’t invincible. But with that being said, I would share the news with your husband immediately! Let him enjoy the excitement just the same as you! Don’t let the fear of what MAY happen spoil the journey ahead. Be in this together. ☺️ Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate kdb0923 Thank you both for your input!! I appreciate it :) Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate r rosiepn I’ve had two CPs and just found out I’m pregnant again. I made myself stop temping this time because I over analyze every fluctuation. I will keep testing for a while because I’m nuts. Definitely tell your husband though! Good luck to you. Show 3 Previous Comments Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate S SFLady722 @kdb0923, aww so happy for you! That’s great news. Hopefully just a weird fluke for me and it will rise back up. Thanks for your reply ☺️ Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate kdb0923 @SFLady722, hi! My temp actually went back up and AF was due yesterday and I’ve seen no sign of her, so I’m assuming so far so good! I have had a lot of cramping off and on which has worried me but still no blood of any kind so I’m hoping it’s normal. Every morning I check my temp and worry it will be low, but so far no more drops. I want to get my Daysy to confirm pregnancy (18 high temps I believe) and then I also plan to stop temping so I can stop stressing! Hoping for the best for you! Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate S SFLady722 @kdb0923, hi there - I’m experiencing something similar and wanted to check in to see how you’re doing! I have been getting BFPs since 10 DPO which are slowly getting a hint darker every morning (I’m now 13 dpo with AF due in 2 days), however my BBT has dropped the last 2 days, and went below my coverline this morning. I feel like I should stop temping and worrying myself as I haven’t had any spotting or cramping but I can’t help not read into this temp drop. I attached my chart and tests from the last 4 mornings. Hoping you’re still going strong! ❤️ Violation Reported Report as Inappropriate kdb0923 @rosiepn, so sorry about your CPs. Wishing you the best for this pregnancy! I will probably stop temping after I miss a period, which is due Sunday.

Wow--DG has a thread for everyone! My problem is somewhat temporary (Costochondritis), but I've been dealing with it long enough to appreciate what folks who live with chronic pain are going thru. :( I've been taking a lot of creative shortcuts to get my spring garden together because I can't dig in the Gulf Coast gumbo with my miserable aching chest. For weeks I've been ransacking the neighborhoods during big trash pickup nights snagging anything and everything that I can dump dirt into build up and plant above ground. lol Props to all of you who continue to care for your gardens and yard critters despite the pain!

Post #6553628 Quote Bookmark scraps Lena, MS(Zone 7b) May 15, 2009 Hey Ya'll, This old southern girl has been fishing again. If I do not take time out tomorrow and cut my grass my neighbors are going to start talking about the white trash neighbors. I had a good day again. I hope it is contagious and you all get to feeling as good as I have been. Hey if I had known fishing was this much fun I would have gone more in my younger days. it is tough on this old bird to sit in a boat for 6 hours. I sat in the floor alot today so I could prop up and my back would not hurt so much. I finally carried my camera but did not have alot of luck. I could not see anything but my reflection. I snapped a few just hoping they would come out even though I could not see the screen. With the old type camera that you put your eye up against you did not have to worry about the reflection on the screen. May be that I do not know what I am doing. It looks like a couple shots might be ok. I am charging now so will add pictures later. It takes a while on dial up. So bare with me as I try. Just maybe I can get one or two loaded. Be back later.Steph Post #6553912 Quote Bookmark cathy4 St. Louis County, MO(Zone 5a) May 15, 2009 I tried out a new tool today, it helped a lot. Earlier this week I spent over an hour trimming mums back by hand and was miserable. I hit Lowes and found a rechargeable 2 pound grass clipper that has a short shearing attachment. It worked great, wasn't too heavy and I was finished with twice as many mums in half the time. I think it will work great on the tulips and daffodils when I have to cut them back. I sat on my little rolling stool so it wasn't to bad leaning over. Post #6553941 Quote Bookmark carrielamont Milton, MA(Zone 6a) May 15, 2009 Jacki (I misspelled it before) is PlantiMcPlanter.

You would think any idiot could take a picture but technology and I just do not always get along. You have to know how to work a computer to work a camera and I am doing good to be on this computer. High tech is not for me, but I am learning from my teen so maybe I can halfway keep up when she can tutor me. It is raining here this morning and so we are going to take it easy I hope. I may try to load another pic or two. It takes 10 or more minutes on dialup. Have agood day.

Was it standing on that log jutting up. I get blurry pics sometimes too when shooting in the sun. When really frustrated over it (or when I think of it) I take a bandana or something ver my head and the camera (like in the olden days). That blocks the bright light from the LCD screen,....very frustrating indeed though. I also often forget to give the button that "2 step" push so that the camera can focus.l But you did great....you had the camera wth you!!! Yeah!!! Can't wait to see some more pics when Anna can help you figure the download problem. Gosh how I would love to go fishing somewhere. Even just to sit on the bank for a while, but in a boat would be g-r-e-a-t!!

I took a half of pain pill and will see how that goes; I'll either feel better or fall asleep. Either way it's better than this "I want to do something but I can't get my body to move" feeling.

Warm, painfree days to all, Jacki Post #6556572 Quote Bookmark scraps Lena, MS(Zone 7b) May 16, 2009 Hey everyone, Sometimes I think we all need a day to just sit in the sun and doze. I had a day back in early spring when I just stopped and did just that and it "recharged my batteries" for a few days I think. I have enjoyed just being out and seeing mother nature around me when fishing with hubs. I do not know what he was thinking but I was looking at the trees for small shoots I could take home and plant and looking at the wildflowers and wondering if they would survive in my yard. I looked around at the birds and butterflies and just absorbed it all. Kind of like taking time to smell the roses as they say. It done me alot of good too. I have to tell you I think my girls are jealous that we have been spending so much time just loafing around and not taking all their calls etc. Well, let me rephase that, I take their calls I just say we are fishing is anything wrong and do not waste time chatting. My eldest will talk an hour on her way home if you have time to listen. It is funny to see them watching and wondering what the heck is happening with mom and dad doing all this fishing. They do not realise we have not had time in 20 years to both go off together because someone had to take care of them and their needs. Hehehe, they can do their own laundry and cooking now.

Post #6556727 Quote Bookmark scraps Lena, MS(Zone 7b) May 16, 2009 Carrie, You must be doing something right if they want to stay at home. Like cooking too good, doing their laundry, giving them money, buying them clothes etc. Stop being so good and they will be begging to get out. Hehehe. Shoot mine has to do so much for me that she wants to go off somewhere far far away to hear her talking about when she grows up she is out of here.... remember how we all thought we would be gone the minute we could. It just takes money to do that and she does not have it so she will have to work a while to get it. So she is mine for a few more years anyway regardless of what she thinks. Unless God forbid she gets married and I doubt that since she hates guys attitudes at this point. She thinks teen guys are stupid and I love it. She talks about how all they study are their trucks and 4wheelers and stuff all the time and they spend all their money buying stuff fot their spoiled girlfriends. So I think I am safe for now. College may change her some but we will see. scraps Post #6556791 Quote Bookmark BirdieBlue Winston Salem, NC(Zone 7a) May 16, 2009 LOl...if she was one of those "spoiled girlfriends" , I wonder if her talk would change. Kids , er people are so funny, er strange, er interesting....^_^ Post #6556914 Quote Bookmark scraps Lena, MS(Zone 7b) May 16, 2009 Sorry I guess I should explain what I meant by that remark. What she means is really that she hates the way the guys let the girls take advantage of them by asking them to pay for their cell phone bill because they talk so much or asking their boyfriends to buy expensive purses like $200 ones or name brand clothing items that are over $100 etc. she thinks they are too dumb to see they are being taken advantage of. We have raised her to not except expensive gifts from young men that they will expect things in return or that it would be rude. So she is just thinking that these guys are crazy to work all week and spend big money on girls that are so spoiled that they think they can get what they want by whining to their boyfriends. The guys sit up in classes and talk about it and how they worked all wek and do not have enough to take the girls out because they have to buy dinner at fancy restraunts and movie tickets or certain girls will not go out. Things are different now I suppose than when we were young. She has a friend that is a guy but a year younger that goes out with her to movies and restraunts but she pays her own way. She hates the way they talk about it at school that they are broke because they took so and so out and it was $200 to eat and go shopping and a movie.

What a wonderful set of values you have instilled in her. I hope my remark didn't sound snide. I was sort of kidding which is why I started with a chuckle. I am so very impressed with your parenting Steph. So, is your freezer filled with fish yet? Maybe you 2 got em all and that is why the biting has slowed down. I love all of you here!!

You would have to do alot worse than that, I just did not explain well the first time. I am just glad that young guys are not yet knocking my door down like they did when my older daughter was in high school. They are different just like their dads not in a bad way just different. I am glad she is not as in to dating now. I think we are too immature to know what we want at that age and it gets us in trouble. I know it did me. I wanted to get away from my mom so bad I got married and I want them (my girls) to know they can make it on their own if they work and make a living themselves for a while and live some on your own before settling down. My oldest daughter worked and bought a home of her own and lived by herself a while so she knew she could survive without a man. Too often teens think their only choice in life is to get married or move in with a man. I am not a perfect parent by no means but I learned a lot when I graduated from the school of hard knocks. Scraps Post #6557348 Quote Bookmark cando1 Ozone, AR(Zone 6a) May 17, 2009 Hey all, Hope you don't mind if i come back. Hav'nt really been anywhere except lurking. When things get rough i get strength from reading your posts. I was telling my depression therepist about you ladies going on with your life inspite of the large amount of pain you feel and the courage i get from your attiude to go on myself. My therapist suggested you might like to know about my respect for you. Carrie, I would so much love to hear you sing in your choir. Meet your DH and DD. Do you still have her car parked at your house and still have parking issues with the city? Scraps, How i'd love to see your new house and meet your DH. My DH loved carpentry work too yet worked in at GE for years till he retired. He and i went camping and fishing for a good many years after he retired. I did'nt like to fish but i loved being in Natures garden. Loved and collected rocks of different kinds too as well as wild plants after i had studied them and knew where to replant them. We would spend a month or more camping out. Our girls did'nt understand it either. But as they got older they simply joined us and learned to love the outdoors also. My oldest DD swears she had to move out as i had made a hobby room out of her bedroom. Not true but it did come soon after she moved out. Carrie, Where does the pain hurt mostly? Is it all over? does it move around? Scraps, The same question for you. I understand very well the fear you have. I have it too for both pain and depression. Also for being alone in pain and depresson. plantimc,cathy and bb, i hear you too. My pain is not anything like yours. If i do too much i simply cannot breathe. Of course kidney stones are painful but no kidneystones for several months. When the pain of depression is so bad it'd be easier to die than live. How do you rate that pain? Would i trade depression pain for physical pain. I guess i see no difference. Anyway, Thanks for letting me rant. Vickie Post #6558958 Quote Bookmark carrielamont Milton, MA(Zone 6a) May 17, 2009 Hi, Vickie, great to see you! Yes, we still have the extra car. DD#1 is due home from college any day now - it's "her" car. My pain is mostly in my hips. I haven't been singing much recently - the choir did a big difficult piece for Palm Sunday. It wasn't that the piece was too hard for me to sing, but it required too many extra rehearsals and longer rehearsals and FOR ME, too long sitting up w/out lying down, too long w/out a bathroom break, etc. Cathy, I think you're right. I still feel responsible to feed and clothe my kids, but in the manner to which I agree not, to which they desire! I want to make 'home' attractive enough that they won't run away to join the circus or live with biodad, but not so luxurious that they can take advantage of me or never want to spread their wings and move on! A delicate balance, to be sure. Post #6559555 Quote Bookmark scraps Lena, MS(Zone 7b) May 17, 2009 Hey Vickie, glad to hear from you. I wish there was a way to rid the world of pain but then I guess we would not have anything to rant about.LOL. I usually hurt mostly in my lower back. I have bulging disc and arthritis in every joint of my spine.Along with fibro. I have recently started having knee pain alot from toting my big rear end around according to doctor.LOL. It all comes back to weight with the little jerk. He weighs about 110 soaking wet so what does he know anyway. Not to mention he looks about 20 years old but I had it on good authority that he was excellent Dr. So I hate to let him go only to get worse. He gives me pretty much what I need. Anyway, I hate that you are feeling pain and depression because I have been there and it is no fun. I have been so depressed I begged to die and my hubs put me in a mental hospital and had them take me off some of my meds and try me on new ones, he was convinced it was because I could not sleep and it turns out he was right. I was not getting but an hour or 2 a night of good deep sleep. You would not believe how much difference it made to get meds straightened out and on a new track. The Dr. Said a mouse in lab would die if not allowed to sleep for 5 days and nights and that is how long I went in the hospital before they got me on a strong enough dose and I had only been getting an hour for 2 weeks before that. He said our bodies heal themselves in our sleep and that is the most important thing fibro patients can do is get enough rest. If I get enough sleep I do ok but if you get me off my routine too much I get so stiff I can barely move around. As for trading physical pain for depression pain, No I would not want to trade at all, you can take a pain pill for the physical but some of the mental or depression we have to deal with I do not think we can get a real cure for that in a pill. Of course, the antianxiety meds help me but not cure what really bugs me most. I get furious when I really want to do something and I hurt so bad I have to keep stopping and sitting down or have to go lay down and take a break. When it is so easy for hubs to do it but he will not try. I get so mad about stuff like that. For instance, raking the yard would be an hour or so for him and it takes me days to get it all. He simply does not care if it gets raked. he would just leave it year round with pinestraw even if it killed the grass. He says that way there is not as much grass to cut. But I want it raked fairly often to look nice. It makes me so mad I could beat him up but he is too tough so I just drag me a chair around and do it regardless of how bad it hurts and I rant about how much I hurt. Sorry I got long winded and started ranting again. Have a good day scraps Post #6561672 Quote Bookmark carrielamont Milton, MA(Zone 6a) May 17, 2009 Pain causes depression which lessens your ability to cope with pain which makes you more depressed etc. It's a cycle. Post #6561700 Quote Bookmark scraps Lena, MS(Zone 7b) May 17, 2009 An awful cycle too,Carrie. Hello everyone, I hope today is a good day for you all. I want to send each of you a gentle hug and some smiles. Since it is so hard to actually do that from miles apart I would like to start something that we can all pass around that would make each off us laugh like we are crazy for a few moments. I am trying to come up with a good idea. Something fun. Painless, Inexpensive, just to make you stop thinking about the pain you are in for a few minutes and then pass it on to someone else to do the same for them. I once got a doll from a friend made of a little fabric and she called it a dam%&#$$ doll. you simply took it and beat the stuffing out of it and ranted for a moment about whatever was bothering you and it was a cute idea. So help me come up with an idea of something that we could do that would be fun. If this makes no sense nor appeals to nobody then I will just rant and rave alone.LOL. Surely someone has an idea of something goofy and funny that we could do to laugh a while.

A colleague recently shared a very troubling story about the boyfriend breakup of his daughter, a high school senior. She had broken her relationship with him, allowed him back into her life, and then broken up again. The young man must be troubled. He causes her embarrassment, and trouble at school by saying unkind and untrue things about her. Worse yet, she reported that he came to her home and was peeking in through the windows there. This is the attack of Satan through this young man – troubled as he certainly is. A friend of mine is currently battling cancer. He describes the battle as one against a visitation of the devil. He’s in good company. Paul spoke of his thorn in the flesh as a messenger of Satan to torment him. This is also an attack of Satan. Jesus speaks of the devil as a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It is Satan’s greatest desire to steal our joy, kill our hope, and destroy our souls. There is nothing cartoonish, impish, or exciting about anything Satan is offering. He may disguise it as such, but his ways lead to death. Every time. It wasn’t some maggot-infested, half-rotten piece of fruit that the serpent pointed to on the ground near the tree in the Garden of Eden. It was good for food. Desirable for wisdom. Pleasing to the eye (cf. Genesis 3:1-8). Satan’s offerings always look good. But they always also kill, steal, and destroy. He has an agenda. It is for our harm and eternal destruction. We must not be unaware of his designs (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:11). Be warned.

I recall the first time I encountered this passage in a meaningful way. The message that was shared pointed us to the final phrase of the passage: “It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.” I loved the thought: trusting God is a physically-healthy thing to do. Years later I began to unpack the first part of the verse: “do not lean on your own understanding.” Those words call for trust in God, not reliance on being able to answer the question, “Why?”. There is so much in me that revolts against the idea of not being able to understand why something is happening. If I can understand it, I think I can control it. Or at least I can manage it. But such an approach to life never works in the long term. We end up tying large weights on thin wires. One by one they break and fall to the ground. Ping! Plop. Ping! Plop. Ping! PLOP. Faith in God provides strong cables for the heavy weights of life’s burdens. God’s shoulders are broad. His strength is boundless. He has crushed sin, Satan, and death under the feet of his Son. When we trust in God we don’t try to figure out how to deal with the problems he alone can dispatch. Nor do we imagine that if we just understood we’d be OK with the trouble we’re experiencing. Recently I became aware of a significant problem to which I had previously I been unaware. The only thing that changed, however, was my awareness. And although I am able to begin a battle against the trouble I now know, my knowledge of it didn’t make it worse. It simply alerted me to its presence. That knowledge can take me one of two ways. I can be drawn to try to understand and manage it. Or I can hang it on the strong cable of God’s goodness, love, mercy, faithfulness, and strength. I look forward to the health that such trust will bring to me and all who trust in him. Share this: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email More LinkedIn Print Like this: Like Loading...

About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them,2 “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance.” 4 His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness?” 5 Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?” “Seven loaves,” they replied. 6 So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd.7 A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus also blessed these and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food. 9 There were about 4,000 men in the crowd that day, and Jesus sent them home after they had eaten. 10 Immediately after this, he got into a boat with his disciples and crossed over to the region of Dalmanutha. – Mark 8:1-10 Savannah Sparrow #5 | Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR | November 2020 What’s your limit? Do you live by the adage, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me?” Do you have a limit beyond which you won’t go? Can someone get the benefit of the doubt once or twice, but not a third time? Your coworker forgets his lunch and debit card and asks, “Can you bring me something from McDonalds on your way back?” How many times will you do that. Is there a limit. I’m struck by the “again” in verse 1 of this account. The people ran out of food again. We’ve been down this path before. On a previous occasion Jesus fed 5000 men plus women and children when they were following him in the wilderness (Mark 6:31-44). On the previous occasion Mark simply reports that Jesus “had compassion” on the multitude. On this occasion, Jesus says it out loud: “I feel sorry for these people.” Nonetheless, here they are again. How long will this keep going on? Won’t they become overly-dependent on Jesus? How will they ever learn to take responsibility for their own wellbeing? One of the dangers of self-sufficiency is a lower threshold of impatience and a general lack of compassion for those who seem not to take responsibility for themselves. We assume that because we can and do plan responsibly for our daily needs, anyone who does not is simply irresponsible. That may or may not be an accurate assessment. Jesus doesn’t seem to make those calculations – at least not in this case. He sees people in need, feels sorry for them, and takes action. Again. His kindness and compassion do not take a back seat to people’s lack of planning. Before we become too indignant over the lack of personal responsibility of the multitude, we must keep in mind our continuing need for his grace, mercy, kindness, and forgiveness. The crowd will disperse. There seems to be no third miraculous feeding. Neither does Jesus’ supply. Yet our need for forgiveness, help, mercy, and kindness knows no end. Neither does Jesus’ supply.

And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. – Genesis 1:9-13 Willet | Galveston | February 2021 What’s your favorite day of the week? Mine used to be Sunday/Monday! Thursday was a close second. But because I start my week on Sunday. With worship. Gathering. Hearing the Word of God. Calling on him in prayer. Receiving Jesus’ body and blood in the Lord’s Supper. And on Monday, the week was before me. Things to do. Hills to climb. Opportunities to embrace. Challenges to face. Purpose. Meaning. Mission. Thursday was my close second in those days. Thursday evening was my Friday. Since I took Fridays off, and often had a much lighter work day on Saturday, I looked forward to that day. Friday morning was perhaps even better. After our workout, Diane and I would go out for breakfast on Friday mornings. But now all that has changed, and I’ll have to discover my new favorite day. Perhaps I should choose Tuesday. That would be in alignment with the double-good third day as recorded in Genesis 1. Did you catch it? Twice during the creative activities of the third day. First when waters are gathered together and dry land appears, “God saw that it was good.” Then, before the third day ends, the earth brings forth trees, vegetation, and fruit. And again God sees that it is good. In Israel some couples choose to be married on Tuesdays – the double-good day. Perhaps we could learn a lesson from them. This is not about superstitious posturing for the right day of the week to start a business, look for a new job, ask for a raise, or start a diet. It’s about recognizing that God determines that which is good. And if he twice calls a day good, it just might be worth looking at the land and sea, vegetation and fruit with a deeper appreciation for these things. Today is a good day to thank God for his beautiful creation. Share this: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email More LinkedIn Print Like this: Like Loading...

Senator Steve Conway represents Eagle Leather’s district and is one of the sponsors of Senate Bill 5623 on lane splitting. His staff gave us the background information needed to clarify some points about the amended bill that allows motorcycle riders to pass very slow or stopped traffic by using the left side of the leftmost lane. Our questions came from your comments on the Eagle Leather Facebook page. If passed, the law would allow passing on the left side of cars in the leftmost lane. Does this include the HOV/HOT lane? Yes, it does include HOV/HOT lanes. Does this apply only to divided highways? Yes, it only applies to highways with at least two lanes in each direction and a division between directions of traffic. Does this include interstate freeways? Yes, it includes interstate freeways. It includes all numbered highways in the state. It excludes most county roads because they have only one lane in each direction and no divider. We were then able to speak with Senator Tim Sheldon, another sponsor of the bill. We asked him: The left side often has a lot of debris. Are there any plans to keep that area clean and safe for motorcycles? That would be a possible part of the overall state spending bill and the responsibility of the highway department. Remember, too, he told us, that passing motorcycles will be going just 25 miles an hour, maximum, so avoiding debris should not be a major problem. Is there any plan to remind automobile drivers that motorcycles can share that leftmost lane, maybe with stencils of cycles on the pavement? The senator thought stencils were a great idea, and show what good things people can come up with when we put our heads together. We asked the senator whether he thought the bill would pass this year. He said that when he introduced the bill, he had only five senators in agreement, but after discussion and compromise, it passed with 34 votes. He’s had a meeting with Representative Judy Clibborn, Chair of the Transportation Committee in the House and is hopeful that the bill will get a hearing in that committee. “I am and have been open to the concerns of my fellow legislators as well as the motorcycling community. We’ve gotten this far by being flexible and willing to compromise when that is possible.” He reminded us that the bill has a long way to go before it becomes a law and that the language may change along the route, so you have time to make an impact with your opinions pro and con and with your ideas. Opposition to the law hinges on safety issues. Many people made comments on the Eagle Leather Facebook page to the effect that actual lane splitting, with riders going between two lanes of slowed or stopped cars would be safer than passing as the amended law would allow. Others thought that lane splitting was not safe at all. What if a driver or passenger suddenly opens a door? What if a driver changes lanes without noticing an overtaking motorcycle? We’ll take a hard look at safety issues in a coming newsletter. Meanwhile, let’s continue the discussion on the Eagle Leather Facebook page. Eagle Leather is neutral on this and all political issues; all points of view are welcome. And remember, whether you are for or against lane-splitting, you can contact your legislator to make your opinion known.

Shinnecock Hills Golf Club really showed her true colors in the first round of the 2018 U.S. Open Championship. The links-style golf course had the best players in the world scratching their heads in disbelief as they had to adjust to the wild wind conditions, the fast greens, and the thick rough to navigate themselves across New York’s most historic golf course. The combination of fast winds, firm greens and thick rough is the perfect formula for high scores, and that is exactly what Shinnecock provided with us today. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR ESNY CITY STREAM Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson are all heavy favorites going into the U.S. Open. Rory winning back in 2011, Spieth winning back in 2015, and Phil looking for his first U.S. Open title to complete the career grand slam of golf, all had huge storylines coming into the week. However, Shinnecock Hills got the best of all three of them in round one. Rory chalked up an 80 (+10) on his scorecard today, which is the worst score he has had in a major championship since the 2011 Masters (we all know that story). Jordan Speith wasn’t much better as he recorded a 78 (+8) on the day. And to top it all off, the veteran of this threesome, Phil Mickelson scored a 77 (+7) on his round and is in a tight spot if he wants to be in contention come the weekend to complete the career grand slam. All eyes and ears have been on Tiger Woods this whole season, and so far he has given the crowd exciting Vintage Tiger moments. However, I don’t think Tiger was particularly ready for what Shinnecock had to offer. Tiger started off slow as he triple-bogeyed the first hole of his round and added a bogey on the second hole, holding him to +4 through two holes. From then on, he started to play more consistent and conservative golf as he shot one under through his next eight holes to keep him in contention. Then, Shinnecock told Tiger enough is enough and really showed her tough side on the back nine. Tiger would shoot +5 thru his next four holes putting him at a score of +8. Tiger would later par the last four holes, and end his round with a disappointing 78 (+8). However, can you ever really count out Tiger Woods in major championships? I don’t think anyone is worried that Tiger won’t make the cut, and neither is Tiger himself. “Shoot something in the 60s tomorrow and I’ll be just fine,” Woods told Sean Martin of PGATour.com after his round. Tiger tees off round two at 8:02 a.m. and looks to turn that score around to get back into contention. With all of these big names putting up astronomical scores, there has to be someone doing well this week! Yes, as a matter of fact world number one Dustin Johnson is tied for the lead after day one of the U.S. Open. (I know shocker…) Johnson shot 69 (-1) and is currently in a four-way tie with Scott Piercy, Ian Poulter, and Russell Henley. These four players are the only ones to reach red figures in round one and hope to continue their solid play because, by the looks of it, one under could potentially be the winning score come Sunday. Some other notables from round one include Rickie Fowler and Patrick Reed shooting 73 (+3) currently sitting T19. Justin Rose shooting 71 (+1) sitting at T6 and Justin Thomas shooting a 74 (+4) sitting at T37 along with defending champion Brooks Koepka. Thursday at the U.S. Open gave fans excitement and gave the players heartbreak. With Thursday being over, that only means Friday is upon us and the leaderboards can flip in a blink of an eye. That is the beauty of the U.S. Open.

Internally, the code for updating game saves works exactly the same as it does in vanilla Elona so there's no need to update older versions to vanilla Elona 1.16 first. However, before moving the save file over to the newer game version, do make a backup copy of it somewhere else. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.18 or prior: All gift items have their quality changed to "cheap". All bait attached to fishing rods will be changed to "water flea". due to a change in how item data is handled. Save data from Elona plus 1.18fix cannot be used in versions 1.18R and later. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.22 or prior: Due to a change in how scrolls of flying work, the stats of all pieces of equipment in the inventories of the player character, pets, and adventurers will be reset. Their weight and equipment attributes stay the same, but other stats will become the highest value possible for the material that they are respectively made of. Equipment that had ridiculous stats due to a bug in a previous version have to be fixed this way or you will not be able to equip them. Alternatively, change the material of the piece of equipment and that will also fix it. Save data from Elona plus 1.25 cannot be used in versions 1.25R and later. Save data from Elona plus 1.38 cannot be used in versions 1.38R and later. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.40 and 1.40fix, some body parts added onto your character or onto your pets may disappear. Items equipped on those body parts will be unequipped. When starting the game, an item to restore body parts will be placed at your character's feet. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.40fix2, some body parts added onto your character may disappear. Items equipped on those body parts will be unequipped. When starting the game, an item to restore body parts will be placed at your character's feet. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.85 or prior, the contents of placed shelters will be reset. As such, a sand bag will be placed at your feet as it's a popular item to have in shelters. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.88, 1.88R, and prior, constructed shelters will be deconstructed. One toilet will also be placed at your feet. When using a save file from Elona plus 1.97 or prior, pets who had been marked as precious will no longer be marked as such due to changes to the variable used. Custom item sprites will also have their image height reduced and appear flattened due to a change in the default parameters for sprite dimensions. You will need to reassign both of these after updating the game. Save data from Elona plus 1.995 cannot be used in versions 2.00 and later. Development versions of this game are for finding bugs. Versions that are fixes will fix bugs found in development versions before that, but that doesn't mean they are bug-free. Recommended method for updating the game: The same as in vanilla Elona. Copy the save_CHARACTER folder from the /save folder into the /save folder of the new version. Play the new version of Elona plus. Any other custom files (e.g. character portraits) should be moved individually, not by copying their containing folder. You may want to have these custom files in a separate folder outside the game directory for ease of copying. Not recommended: Copying all files and folders from the new version into the older version. Copying folders containing custom files and dropping them into the directory containing the new version. These may cause your game folder to have unnecessary files and other issues, so the game may not work if you do this. Upcoming version: 2.08 Last Updated: 12/06/21 [Changes and additions] Added 14 new spells such that every element has a arrow, bolt, and ball version. Also made existing attack spells more consistent by making changes to their name, description, and MP cost. I've been putting this off since there was a lot of work involved, but it should be worth the effort if these spells help set characters apart from each other. Tentatively added the spellbooks for all arrow, bolt, and ball spells that haven't had one up until now. Also rebalanced their reading difficulties, levels, and market prices so that they're more consistent. This means that pets that learn rare spells like Thunder vortex upon evolving lose that advantage, so I'll have to think of something for them. Changed the calculation order for interlocking shooting mechanism and proximity assist weapon equipment attributes so that damage dealt doesn't overflow as easily. Added 1 new equipment attribute. Changed the Suicide Attack special action so that the damage to the user now procs after the user's HP has been set to 0. This means no more chain of exploding bomb rocks in the Void. Also, characters hit by Suicide Attack will now get inflicted by 5 turns of Wince (that stacks on top of any existing Wince), and there is also a user Constitution-dependent chance of getting inflicted by Fear. Rebalanced the damage dealt by non-elemental attacks such as water spells and suicide attacks, and changed their element to the PV/DV element. Damage from these attacks can therefore now be reduced [by PV and DV] so they're unfortunately not as scary any more, but subjecting the player to unmitigable damage doesn't seem like a good idea balance-wise. Anorexia is now displayed as a status ailment on the left side of the screen when the player character is afflicted by it. The label will change accordingly to reflect the 11 different stages of seriousness (which is also the number of times the player character has vomited). The chance of recovering from anorexia when sleeping has also been improved. Changed the damage received when vomiting while satiety is negative to starvation damage. The damage calculation [for starvation] has also been changed. The greater the subject's Perception and the greater the number of times vomited (caps out at 30 times), the greater the damage received. In Purge mode, the damage received remains the unchanged (i.e. a fixed 999,999 damage is dealt). To prevent accidental use of memory converters, the item description has been made clearer and a confirmation dialogue now displays upon using it. The "360 rice balls and green teas" reward option from the yaca point card was worth more than I thought and overshadowed all the other options, so the green teas no longer have +enhance values. +1 green teas are already worth too much and green teas without enhance values are still worth using. [Fixes] Fixed one section of the code where I forgot to apply the fairy equipment weight limit change, causing equipment 1s and heavier to instantly get unequipped. 2.07 10/10/2021 [Changes and additions] Added the ability for some special actions and events to impose a "field state" upon the current map. A field state does not go away with time. A field state subjects characters on the map (including the one who imposed it) to some effects. Some field states can be removed by exiting and reentering the map or by the use of Space retention. These field states can also be overwritten by imposing a different field state. More field states to come in the future. Changed the display for attribute potential so that it now indicates two additional higher tiers - 300% and above, and 400% and above. This change does not affect the actual value of the potential. Also changed the display for resistance ranks so that it now indicates two additional higher tiers. The difference between each rank has also increased from 50 to 100, so the displayed resistances for existing characters will change. This change does not affect the actual value of the resistances. Swapped the Concentration feat for a new one. Added 4 new special actions related to it. Made Space retention special action learnable by the player character when prerequisites are met. Added the bit flag that makes an NPC always drop its gold on death to 2 NPCs that previously didn't have it but were capable of using the Suspicious Hand special action (i.e. catgod hand and terrorism squirrel). Also, NPCs with the summoned bit flag will now drop their gold when they have the gold dropping bit flag. It was possible to finish the the Act III last boss battle extremely quickly with certain tactics, so the additional damage done to it now procs only once per turn. To make fishing better at killing time, you now have the option to set it to auto-fish for 1 to 6 hours. When auto-fishing, the player character will resume fishing as long as there is bait on the fishing pole. When the set time has elapsed or when bait runs out, auto-fishing will stop. Bait is consumed only when something is fished up. With this, you can kill time and obtain fish while you're at it, but remember that fish rots in 8 hours. Ease of catching fish and the rate at which time passes while fishing remains the same. Machine lure, when used, will also work the same. Increased the chance that the [new] unique NPCs will visit your home to match that of the Mysterious Producer. Some attacks have their damage decreased by the target's PV and DV - that decrease has been decreased. Changed the effect of the Creepy Dream event. It now causes an extreme but temporary debuff to Perception, Will, and Luck. (The debuffs from multiple Creepy Dreams will stack.) This debuff can be prevented by the "protects [stat] from weakening" equipment attribute and with disinfectant. It can also be cured by Restore Spirit and healers in towns. This event no longer causes a permanent reduction in resistances. Buffed the predator class's perk - it now applies a 1.1x multiplier to its final calculated chance of doing a critical hit. Every race now has a multiplier to their final calculated chance that they can evade a critical attack. The smaller and weaker races have a higher multiplier. (e.g. For gods, it is 1.0x so it essentially remains unchanged; for snails, it is 3.0x.) This is to make things more even between races. Custom race names do not affect the multiplier. Increased the weight limit on equipment that player characters of the fairy race can wear to 2s. (Equipment weighing exactly 2.0s can be worn.) Fairy NPCs and the other seemingly feeble races have no such weight limit, but removing the cap altogether would probably make fairies too powerful and would mean removing their signature characteristic. [Fixes] The rent collection date variable was getting reused when it shouldn't be, so that variable has been changed to something else for two of the unique NPCs that visit your home. Fixed the HP bar display issue that sometimes occurred for pets. The issue happened when recalculating a pet's stats which caused the game to briefly remove bonuses to maximum HP (applied to {unique} and <mutant> NPCs) and PV/DV. Fixed stacking items in the inventory with the 'I' key not stacking manuscripts into lower-quality stacks. Fixed the crash that occurred in the English version when attempting to display tags meant for substituting parts of the Japanese dialogue for unique NPCs. Fixed the oblivion rude beast's Summon chaos special action not working. Fixed using a stack of filtration bottles causing the remaining charges of all bottles in that stack to decrease. It will now split one bottle from the stack and decrease only that bottle's charge. 2.07: detailed changelog [Imposable field states] <Order of Chaos> Used for an Act III event. Cannot be overwritten or dispelled with Space retention. It actually does nothing [and is for flavor purposes only]. <Doomsday sky> Automatically imposed when Ragnarok begins. Cannot be overwritten or dispelled with Space retention. <Order of Chaos> has a higher priority. AOE explosions that deal a fixed 1,000 damage will occur at random in the current map. Damage dealt is considered trap damage. [E-Mag Cage] All characters on the map have a unmitigable 50% chance of being Paralyzed for 1 turn at the start of their turns. Any characters who receive any lightning-element damage will also lose 5sp. (This will work on characters with the bit flag that makes them immune to elemental damage.) [Wire World] Any character who is on the receiving end of any of the wire special actions will have a wire trap placed at their feet. All wire traps are now able to hit floating characters, and the chance of evading [a wire trap] is set to zero. Traps can still be disarmed, though. [Prerequisite for learning Space retention] Learned upon level up when the player character is level 50 or above and has the Dimensional Move feat. [New feat] Magnetic Manipulate Replaces the Concentration feat. Grants the Magnecoat special action. Grants Linear Launcher upon level up when Perception is 40 or greater. Grants E-Mag Cage upon level up when Perception is 70 or greater. Grants E-Mag Tornado upon level up when Perception is 100 or greater. [New statuses] Magnet-S/Magnet-N Characters with the same polarity of status have a -20% chance of scoring critical hits (applied after all other modifiers) to each other. Regular physical attacks on each other will also do 0.9 times as much damage. Characters with opposing polarities will have a +20% chance of scoring critical hits (applied after all other modifiers) to each other. Regular physical attacks on each other will also do 1.1 times as much damage. When NPCs are afflicted by Magnet-S/Magnet-N status, they will have a corresponding icon displayed on them. This status is cleared when exiting and reentering the map. [New special actions] Magnecoat special action. Granted by Magnetic Manipulate feat. When used, it cycles the target's status from Magnet-S -> Magnet-N -> no status. Linear Launcher Learned upon level up when the Magnetic Manipulate feat has been acquired and Perception is 40 or greater. Select 1 item in the inventory to consume it and deal item weight- and user Perception-dependent PV/DV element damage. (Maximum damage is dealt when item is 50s.) Damage dealt is doubled if the user has the Magnet-S or Magnet-N status. Any effects that the item may proc when thrown will NOT occur in this case, nor can the item be recovered after launching it. If the item is 10s or heavier, it applies 1 turn of Invert to the target if the target is not already afflicted by Invert. When used by an NPC, it generates an ore piece and launches it. Yerles conbat plane, yerles mortar, Yerles latest outfit soldier, <Orville> the soldier, and <Milis> the soldier will now use this. E-Mag Cage Learned upon level up when the Magnetic Manipulate feat has been acquired and Perception is 70 or greater. A 'W'ide-area special action that deals Perception-dependent damage to all enemies in sight (damage calculation is similar to those of gauge attacks but is less powerful) while also applying Magnet-S status to them, then sets the current field state to [E-Mag Cage]. Grants a small amount of Perception experience when used. E-Mag Tornado Learned upon level up when the Magnetic Manipulate feat has been acquired and Perception is 100 or greater. Attacks in a straight line. Control Magic can [spare non-targets in its AOE]. Sets the status of targets to Magnet-N, deals a small amount of Perception-dependent lightning damage, and if they are not already afflicted by Bind, applies 3 turns of Bind. Targets who had Magnet-S status before getting hit by this will have 2x damage dealt to them, and if they are not already afflicted by Bind, have 5 turns of Bind applied to them. Yerles cyborg soldier, <Metal Vesda> the fire machine, <Melugast AO-I> the dimension driver, and <Melugast type0> the dimension driver now use this. Wire World Learned upon level up when the Strings Assassin feat has been acquired and Perception is 70 or greater. A 'W'ide-area special action that deals Perception-dependent damage to all enemies in sight (damage calculation is similar to those of gauge attacks but is less powerful), places a wire trap at the targets' feet, and sets the field state to [Wire World]. Grants a small amount of Perception experience when used. <Ajetalio> the seminar lecturer, hellstling, and atlach-nacha now use this when their gauge is 80% or greater. This affects instances of NPCs generated in previous versions of the game. 2.06fix 8/17/2021 [Changes and additions] Lowered the lower limit for Speed when Riding while having insufficient Strength and Riding skill. The minimum is now 1/10,000 of the steed's Speed, down from 1/10 of its Speed. Revamped how PV and DV bonuses for non-pet NPCs are calculated. Half of their level (capped at +200) is added to their PV and DV. [This step does not apply to pets] and is independent of race. The race bonus is then applied to the resulting value. This step applies to pets. [Fixes] Fixed race PV and DV bonuses not actually getting reflected in damage calculations. Fixed the issues with displaying characters during cutscenes while a portrait from user/graphic is in use. The new NPC's equip was supposed to reference the shotgun's ID, but I accidentally referenced its sprite ID instead, causing that NPC to end up spawning with the <Rail Gun> which has that ID. 2.06 8/15/2021 [Changes and additions] Added 4 unique NPCs that have a low chance of visiting your home. They may decide to stay depending on the options you pick. They don't count towards the limit on the number of stayers at your home but don't resurrect after dying. If you already have that NPC staying at your home, it won't visit. They're all kinda weird but are mostly harmless. Added an additional 6 new NPCs. Guests staying at your home will now roll to leave once per day instead of once every five days. The chance to leave per roll is now 50%, down from 80%. You will now hear cicadas in all towns other than Noyel during the months of July to September when the weather is fair. You won't hear cicadas in maps that aren't considered towns. Their cry changes depending on the date and time at which you entered town. From August to September, there will be dying cicadas on the ground in towns, with a higher chance for them to spawn during September. They're too distracting when starting a game, so new games now start in October instead of August. Added 14 new items. Considering the fact that the level cap of the Hero, Gem Power, Concentration, and Divine Wisdom spells is 2,000 and that their efficacy is boosted by Magic attribute, the additive component of the buffs that they give to their respective stats is now capped at 1,000. The multiplicative component of their buffs stills works the same as in previous versions. There is no cap on the number of turns their buffs will last. Now that there is a cap on the number of turns characters may take relative to each other, unique characters no longer deal bonus damage to opponents faster than them. They will still receive less damage [from these opponents] though. Increased the upper limit for Impress from 350 to 400. The Impress value is now always visible instead of displaying "???". When an NPC at full health chooses to use any healing spell (other than Healing Rain), it will now have up to 2 additional chances that turn to try to pick another move to make. In order to prevent monsters far stronger than the player from getting summoned by the Summon Monsters spell due to spell power buffs, the types of monsters summoned is now limited by the caster's level. Enemies generally don't use Summon Wild so that spell remains the same. Halved the spawn rate of enemies in the Kamikaze attack and Mission from Karavika sub quests. The former will now also have a siren than sounds when the mission is cleared. Gave varying PV or DV bonuses to several weak or average races. After updating the game, these bonuses will get applied to existing NPCs when the player 'i'nteracts with them. The PV and DV of non-pet NPCs is now listed in their inventory in the top right corner when Pickpocketing them. The displayed PV and DV values of all characters now includes their race bonuses as well as any bonuses that enemy NPCs have. Stamina loss that occurs due to Drying! and Need Sleep! statuses will no longer occur when stamina is already -100 or lower to prevent it from getting too low. [Fixes] Fixed conversation windows not showing custom portraits located in user/graphic. Fixed gold pieces spawning from [quaffing] well-type items overriding any gold pieces that were already on that tile. Characters with the bit flag that makes them immune to elemental damage no longer receive halved fire-elemental damage when Wet. Fixed damage received from fires on the ground not being affected by Oil status. Changed the condition under which the cthulhick evolution will use Alchemical Rain. It used to use the special action when its target was not Wet; it will now use it when the cthulhick itself is not Wet. Fixed failing Amurdad's side quest the first time causing the player to never receive the artifact reward for subsequent successful attempts. When updating the game, the quest triggers for this quest will be reset. 2.06: detailed changelog [Races with new PV and DV bonuses] Races given PV bonus: slime, sheep, zombie, ent, armor, skeleton, wisp Races given DV bonus: rabbit, cat, dog, rat, catsister [New items] dying cicada Item of the junk category that does not usually spawn [in dungeons]. Spawns in town maps from August to September. There won't be too many of these, so treat these as a seasonal rare item. Throwing it at a target will cause a guaranteed 5 turns of Wince and 2 turns of Atrophy [if it hits]. After throwing it, it turns into locust fishing bait regardless of whether it hit the target or not. golden mead Alcohol that does not usually spawn. When quaffed, causes Drunk status ailment and grants Perception experience. When quaffed by the player character, it will also cause an out-of-body experience (works similar to design mode for deed maps). That can be utilized to scout out maps so use these wisely. jewel of M01-Garnet Received when marrying in January; this item will be blessed. Is an ore item that does not naturally spawn. Can be sold. When given to an NPC, it greatly increases their Impress (it will not go into their inventory). When given to an NPC whose anniversary is in January, it further increases Impress by a moderate amount. jewel of M02-Amethyst Received when marrying in February; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M03-Aquamarine Received when marrying in March; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M04-Diamond Received when marrying in April; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M05-Emerald Received when marrying in May; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M06-Alexandrite Received when marrying in June; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M07-Ruby Received when marrying in July; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M08-Sardonyx Received when marrying in August; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M09-Sapphire Received when marrying in September; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M10-Opal Received when marrying in October; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M11-Topaz Received when marrying in November; this item will be blessed. As above. jewel of M12-Lapis Lazuli Received when marrying in December; this item will be blessed. As above. [New NPCs] wall hack cheatah Level 32 cat. Floats. Insult. Can enter impassable terrain except for doors. Has a 1% chance of getting banned at the start of every one of its turns in combat, causing it to receive a lethal amount of damage. auto aim cheatah Level 121 cat. Homing Lazer. Each of its regular ranged attacks are swapped for attacks that use magic ammo. Has a 1% chance of getting banned at the start of every one of its turns in combat, causing it to receive a lethal amount of damage. speed hack cheatah Level 171 cat. Continuous attacks, Eye of dimness, Eye of Mana. At the beginning of every one of its turns, it will temporarily set its Speed to 1,000,000, basically giving it 5 moves per player turn. Has a 1% chance of getting banned at the start of every one of its turns in combat, causing it to receive a lethal amount of damage. another world cheatah Level 185 cat. Cure of Jua on low health, Nether Wave, Crystal Spear, Dominate, Speed. Does not consume MP when casting spells (even when taking part in Over-Ray). Will expend MP as usual for other things. Does not get banned. <Scard> the happy swallow Level 10 bird. Floats. Smile Field, Blade Turbulence. When it visits your home and you pick the correct options, it will decide to stay. Upon staying, it will spawn 5 young swallow (see below). Talking to it will give you 3 of the aforementioned M jewels of current month. This is repeatable every 30 days. <Oxode> the queen bee Level 40 wasp. Floats. Collected Power, Nerve Arrow, Nether Arrow, Divine Wisdom, Nightmare. When it visits your home and you pick the correct options, it will decide to stay. Upon staying, it will spawn 3 magic bee (see below). Talking to it will give you 4 of the aforementioned golden mead. This is repeatable every 30 days. When rolling to check if a guest at your home should leave, it will spawn 3 magic bees when there are currently 5 or fewer magic bees on the map. Magic bees on the map are considered guests, and have a chance of leaving your home like normal guests. This means that the magic bees don't stick around; they are constantly going in and out of your home. <Imarituka> the zasiki warai Level 10 ghost. Floats. Vulnerable to "inflicts massive damage to undead". Cowering Smile, Tickling Hell, Provoke. When it visits your home and you pick the correct options, it will decide to stay. Upon staying, the player's Luck attribute is [permanently] increased by 50. But if it dies or when it is chased out by a guard, the player's Luck is [permanently] decreased by 51. <Telhureza> the house guard Level 92 drake. Voracity Fang, Love Crafting. Super Regene at low health. When it visits your home and you pick the correct options, it will decide to stay. You can direct it to attack certain NPCs in your home (works like getting guards to kick out NPCs). It can visit even during early game, so you can treat it as a high-level guard dog (guard gecko?) for your home. young swallow Level 2 bird. Does not naturally spawn. Bewitch. magic bee Level 18 wasp. Female only. Floats. Temper bit flag. Does not naturally spawn. When afflicted by Fury, uses Flame of Rage. Fascination Dance, Squeeze, Nerve Arrow. 2.05 6/6/2021 [Changes and additions] Added some English translations I received. After thinking about it, a 20x speed difference in a roguelike seems to be a bit too much. When enemies have that kind of advantage, it feels too unfair. When players have the advantage, brute force becomes the answer to everything. Hence, the range in frequency of NPCs' turns relative to the player is now capped at 1/5 to 5, and not 1/20 to 20. Higher Speed still translates to more turns against an opponent so it remains an important attribute. Implemented Amurdad's Act III side quest. A part of it can be tricky, but it shouldn't be difficult if you pay attention and think things through carefully. New unique artifacts that drop from every Act's final boss. For save data from previous versions, these artifacts will be placed at your character's feet after updating the game. Added [several] new unique artifacts that can be received from Sophia after clearing Act III. Also added 2 more new items. Added 1 new option to the conversation with bartenders. Slightly reduced the effect of the special dish available at inns, but extended its duration by a significant amount. It is now also applied to all pets you have with you and not just to the ones in sight. Increased the damage dealt by fires on the ground. Fires that spread from a parent fire will now inherit the parent fire's strength. Museums now come with a register. This applies only to newly-constructed museums. [Fixes] Fixed cancelling while telling an informer your birthday setting it to 0/0. 2.05: detailed changelog [New option that bartenders offer] Order a special drink for 1 bronze coin. It applies a new buff to all party members that increases all skill experience earned by 10%. It's not as powerful as it looks because for low amounts of experience gained, some rounding down occurs after adding the 10%, resulting in lower actual bonus experience. [New sub quest] Started by talking to Amurdad. Escort an NPC out of a 6-floor quest dungeon. Teleport, Return, Escape, and saving the game are disabled while in the dungeon. The conversation and the options presented in the dungeon are just flavor text and affect nothing. The quest is failed if the escorted NPC dies, the player character dies, or when the time limit is reached. The player character will then be transported back. The current map indicator will show which floor you're on. There are, however, several different variants of the map: forwards, backwards, backwards random, and backwards after failing. The variant used is independent of the floor indicated. Clearing the quest for the first time will award the <Astral Sickle>. The second time and onwards will give a jewel of tear of god. Once cleared, this quest has a low chance of becoming available again when the date changes and the player character is outside Amur-Cage. [New items] Lesimas Fragment Guaranteed to drop from Act I's final boss. When used on a target, it increases every single one of the target's attributes (except for Speed and Luck) to 50. Can be reused after 240 hours. Rehmido Fragment Guaranteed to drop from Act II's final boss. When used on a target, it increases every single one of the target's attributes (except for Speed and Luck) to 100. Can be reused after 360 hours. Chaos Fragment Guaranteed to drop from Act III's final boss. When used on a target, it increases every single one of the target's attributes (except for Speed and Luck) to 150. Can be reused after 480 hours. The above items are meant to give newly-recruited pets a leg up and save you some trouble in leveling up their attributes. They won't help with skill levels though. The cooldown is there so that you can't buy slaves, increase their stats, then sell them again for a profit. It shouldn't be too restrictive unless you recruit a whole bunch of pets at a time. G-Finger Received from Sophia after clearing Act III. 1 hour cooldown. Using it on an enemy at 1/10 hp or lower kills them instantly and creates a golden doll (see below) in their place. Enemies killed like this will not drop any monster parts. Photon Fairy Received from Sophia after clearing Act III. 24 hour cooldown. When used in a town for which your Authority/Praise is greater than 0, it increases your Authority there. When used elsewhere, it increases your Fame. Contradiction Received from Sophia after clearing Act III. 2 hour cooldown. It procs the Absolute protect and Clash Rush special actions in the same turn with 0 sp cost. They will activate even if your power gauge is too low; it subtracts 25% from power gauge and activates the special actions anyway. Bigamy Permit Received from Sophia after clearing Act III. When used on any NPC (even enemies) at Soul Mate status or above, it allows you to marry them. You won't be able to recruit them as a pet, but you can make genes by picking the "Tell feelings" option that shows up after marriage. golden doll Does not spawn naturally. Is considered an ore. Cannot be offered to god. Has the same sprite as the original character. filtration bottle Spawns randomly. Received when telling Lomias and Larnneire to get out of your home. When used while standing in water, it gains max charges. When used while not standing in water, it greatly increases hydration and slightly increases satiety. Cannot be used on wells as that would overlap with the function of empty bottles. Can be cursed or blessed, but that has no effect on its effect when used. 2.04 4/25/2021 [Changes and additions] Added 4 new NPCs. Added 2 new special actions. "Sexless" is now sex "unknown" as the latter has a broader definition. Added it as an option during character creation. Now characters can start as male?, female?, bisexual, and unknown. Prevented the tag team organizing window from showing up for characters already in a tag team and for those who cannot be put in one. Removed the "Tag organization" option from the 'i'nteract menu for pets already in a tag team. Characters without a full-body portrait set (i.e. atmosphere/'Tatie') will now display their zoomed-in sprite and not their zoomed-in portrait after selecting certain evochat options. Added a new "tag evochat" option to the conversation window for pets who are in a tag team. The target's partner will also need to satisfy the prerequisites for evochat to happen. The tag partner's reaction will be displayed before the target's. The portraits for both pets will be displayed side by side after certain options are selected. This cannot be used on pets who are in a tag team with the player character. Passing them 100k gold will make the pets split it between themselves. Added a new "Talk to your tag team partner." option to the conversation window for pets who are in a tag team. Customizable with txtTag. If there are several lines of text under that header, a random line will be picked so make sure that they don't clash with each other. Also added a new <evochat without you> option that will only show up during the aforementioned "tag evochat". This one is customizable with txtTagEvo. In past versions, evochat has focused on player-pet interactions, but pet-pet interactions are now possible with this feature. You can watch your pets make out with each other or you can join in. Neither of these are usable on a pet tagged with the player character. Added special tags that can be used in custom talk files that range from {se0} to {se99}. Placing a seN.wav (replace 'N' with the tag's number) sound file in the user/sound folder will cause that sound to be played [when a line of text with that tag is spoken.] Placing several tags into a line of text will cause all of their sounds to get played at the same time. This means you can make cats meow when making them wait in town, or play a gun reloading sound effect for pets engaging in battle. You can even record entire lines and play them out. Of course, creating all these .wav files is a lot of trouble and some may find it too noisy, but to each their own. The conversation window was getting crowded out by the list of options, so the "I tell you my feelings" option has been moved into the 'i'nteraction menu. May I ask for your hand/Let's make a gene options are now sub-options for the aforementioned. You can now tell your feelings to non-pet NPCs to raise their Impress. But you won't be able to marry them even when Impress is high enough. Non-pet NPCs will now heal [like pets and the player character] while the player character sleeps. Made slight changes to the conversation that occurs as Lomias and Larnneire leave the cave after finishing the tutorial. Changed the items given. A fixed set of 4 useful items is now given instead of 3 random furniture pieces. [Fixes] Fixed the crash that sometimes occurred when loading a save if the game was saved while in the arena. Fixed memory converter not being consumed upon use even though it was described explicitly as a single-use item. Fixed the error that occurred when a powerful great wyrm summoned more powerful great wyrms. This occurred because of a section of code that dealt with NPCs summoning more NPCs of their type. Fixed the portrait swap that could occur when entering Zaile for the first time. Fixed Melt Clinch special action not being considered as an attack. Opponents in a duel can no longer be Dominated. Not that there's any point in dueling an NPC you're going to Dominate anyway. The NPC will now be treated as if it were one of those unrecruitable NPCs until the duel ends, and as such Dominate will inflict Paralysis instead. 2.04: detailed changelog [New special actions] Serious Begging Learned when the player character wakes up with less than 500 gold. Auto-turns occur, the Attract of nearby NPCs is consumed, and you receive an amount of gold dependent on the target's level. When used by the player, blessed food may get thrown your way sometimes. (Those food items ordered by rarity are sweet potato, stick bread, rice ball, and jerky). It fails if the target has no Attract left, and when the user has more gold than the target. Failing will not cause NPCs to throw rocks at you, but fame will decrease (amount decreased is the same as failing a town board quest) when receiving gold from [a pet]. Usable regardless of skill levels and attributes but yields neither points in a party time quest nor experience. Newly-spawned beggar NPCs are now able to use this, and you can also direct pets [who are Amenable or above] to beg in towns. Characters too weak for adventure now have a way to survive in exchange for their pride. Tickling Hell Learned upon level up by the player character when Dexterity is 30 or greater. If the target is not already afflicted by Bind, Binds the target for 1 turn. Deals SP damage to the target that is dependent on the user's Dexterity and resisted by the target's Constitution. If the target's Perception is greater than its Dexterity, then power gauge is also decreased by 10%. If the target's SP is less than half full, then it also gives the target a user Dexterity-dependent insanity check. This deals no HP damage but is considered an attack. harpy, dragon's pet harpy, roper, skogsra, performaid cocruel, halloween children, diabolic clown, titania, and town child now use this. (Only newly-spawned NPCs will have it.) [New NPCs] stray soul Level 2 ghost. Does not spawn naturally. Undead resistance[s], floats. No special actions. clinghost Level 155 ghost. Undead resistance[s], floats. Squeeze and Scavenge. Close Suicide when health is low. death fog Level 153 wisp. Mist of Silence, Mist of Frailness, Mist of Darkness, Chaos eye, and Eye of Illusion. hellabyrinth ruler Level 151 lich. Does not spawn naturally. Undead resistance[s], floats. Shadow Step, Decapitation, Eye of Insanity, Blame Pain, Cowering Smile. 2.03 2/14/2021 [Changes and additions] 5 new items. And 1 new unique artifact, available for exchange from Miral. 6 new special actions. 5 new hand race NPCs. 2 new evolutions. 4 new drake race NPCs. Changed the conditions under which the evolved NPCs "witch" (NB: no English equivalent) and "red cross" will use their Rain of sanity special action. It used to be 100% for the witch and 50% for red cross when the player's insanity is 1 or greater. It is now 20% when its insanity or the player's insanity is 10 or greater. Changed the AI of two existing unique NPCs. This change affects instances of those NPCs from existing saves. Increased the amount of experience given by debris, but halved the base number awarded by clearing Nefia. An additional +1 debris is then awarded if the Nefia cleared was awakened. An additional +1 debris is also given for Nefia cleared during Nefia fever. Changed the lower bound of MP to -99,999. Changed the damage calculation for Meteor spell. In previous versions, not only did its damage increase steeply with Magic attribute, it also had a Magic-dependent modifier on top of that, sometimes leading to overflow issues. Magic attribute no longer affects damage as much, so overflow won't occur even when cast by a maxed-out character on a target affected by Element Scar and drenched in oil. Added the English translations for Adventure Seminar that I received quite a while ago. [Fixes] Fixed some typos. Fixed OverLimit-Throw buff as it was also working on melee attacks. Set the attack roll dice minimum to 1 because of the crash that occurred when attempting to roll with 0. 2.03: detailed changelog [New special actions] Resonant Voice When any of the Negotiation special actions (NB: Persuasion, Peculiar joke, Blended lie, Intimidation, Mysterious song) are used while gauge is 100% or greater, this special action will be used instead. Subtracts 50% from 1 enemy's power gauge (can make power gauge negative) and deal Negotiation, Analysis, Will, and equipment +enhance value-dependent SP damage. The damage calculation is the same as that of the Negotiation special actions. Unlike those special actions, however, this uses only 1 turn (NB: Negotiation special actions take 1 turn + 5 auto-turns) and there is no chance of failure. Harmonic Assault Learned upon level up when the Empathy feat has been acquired, Negotiation skill is 50 or greater, and Analysis skill is 30 or greater. Applies a buff of the same name to all allies in sight. NPCs that have this buff and are set to "Talking" mode will provide support to other allied characters when they use the Negotiation special actions. This "support" increases the chance of success of the special actions by a supporter's Analysis skill level-dependent amount. The additional chance from all supporting characters is summed up then added to the base chance. The increase in chance is recalculated when the Negotiation special actions used, and again when the special action activates. (NB: Due to the 5 turn delay of Negotiation special actions.) Characters with the buff will also no longer have their Negotiation special actions interrupted when receiving damage. Jyusou Goushin Attempts to apply curse of Will-dependent strength to every piece of equipment the user is wearing. The curse cannot be prevented by the Exorcist feat, but will be prevented by the "protects you from cursing words" equipment attribute. After rolling to curse, if at least 1 piece of equipment as been cursed, the user's HP is healed and the user receives a buff of the same name. The amount healed and the strength of the buff depend on the user's Will and the number of pieces of equipment cursed (every piece doomed counts as two). Attribute increases from the buff is capped at 666, but there is no cap in the increase in resistance to magic. curse wood king, <13th step ghost>, profanity priest, diabolic clown, <Exossil>, <Ulzassil>, and <Ssil> the undead witch now have a chance to use this special action when they do not have its buff. This affects instances of the aforementioned NPCs in existing saves. Love Crafting Has a 50% chance of attempting to apply Perception-dependent insanity to every single enemy in sight. Is AOE unlike Eye of Insanity, but again, it works only half the time and its strength is also about half. It also [has a 100% chance to] set an enemy's power gauge to -5% if their current power gauge is between 5 to 80%. <Mad scientist>, Jure fanatic, cupid of death, <Insane Kumiromi>, <Kumiromi>, <Caim> the mad rich, wangnin, abyss animal, and lunatyeek will now use this. This change does not affect instances of the aforementioned NPCs in existing saves. Kijin Shibari Learned upon level up when Literacy skill is 30 or greater. Expend 10 of a selected scroll to apply 0 to 2 turns of Bind to all enemies on the map. Also attempts to lower enemies' Dexterity by a Literacy skill-dependent amount. (Dexterity won't be lowered if the current value is already less than half of base value.) Burn Scrolls Learned upon level up when Literacy skill is 40 or greater. Expend 20 of a selected scroll to apply Literacy skill and Magic attribute-dependent fire damage to 1 enemy. Also removes 1 buff from the target. [Changes to the AI of existing unique NPCs] <King Cockroach> Now has a high chance to use Shadow rush. Used to be a pushover despite its size. Maybe it'll now be able to show intruders what "strength in numbers" means? <Goda> the captain of orc Now has a low chance to use Shadow rush. A bit more captain-y now. [New NPCs] pale inviter Level 42 hand. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to undeads". Multiple Gather, Touch of Fear, Squeeze, Rubbing. ooteguchi Level 71 hand. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to undeads". Female only. Voracity Fang, Squeeze, Eye of Illusion, Draw Shadow. catgod hand Level 101 hand. Suspicious Hand, Shadow Step, BakuretuKen. curse grappler Level 124 hand. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to undeads". Vindalian Jiu-jitsu, Squeeze, Psychic Wave, Jyusou Goushin. janken king Level 143 hand. Floats. Corpse gives Strength experience when eaten. Shadow Step, Body Blow, Squeeze, Decapitation. rats bringer Level 74 drake. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to dragons". Floats. Summon chaos (carnage rat). wild wyrm Level 117 drake. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to dragons". Floats. Extermination Breath. pteraiun Level 154 drake. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to dragons". Floats. Lightning Bolt, Lightning Breath, Shadow Step, Speed. powerful great wyrm Level 177 drake. Weak to "inflicts massive damage to dragons". Floats. MP Breath, Gravity Sphere, Summon Monsters, Summon chaos (powerful great wyrm). [New evolutions] Male hand of the dead, hand of the chaos, and hand of the murderer evolve with another heart into hands of the winner and learn BakuretuKen. Female hand of the dead, hand of the chaos, and hand of the murderer evolve with magic heart into hime ooteguchi and learn Melt Clinch. [New items] memory converter Reward for clearing random Nefia. Depending on the danger level, 1 to 5 is given as a reward. (Maximum of 5 is given at danger level 200.) An additional 1 is given if the Nefia cleared was awakened. An additional 1 is given if Nefia fever is in effect. The item name specifies a skill; what skill it is depends on the boss' race. Using it halves the skill level of that skill and gives 3 skill bonus points. It cannot be used unless the skill's level is 5 or greater. For lowering skills that a character doesn't need and increasing the ones that are actually useful. Or for roleplaying purposes - lowering a skill that a character shouldn't be good at. The 4 items listed below spawn randomly with a random color. They cannot be wished for because they have no name in the code. All of them have an ammo capacity of 4. When used and ammo is 0, it will reload, taking 1 turn. When used and ammo is 1 or greater, it will deal Strength and Marksman skill-dependent HP and MP damage to the target. It always hits and ignores defense. Blend it with potions to increase its +enhance value. The +enhance value depends on the cumulative value of all potions blended with it. When +enhanced, the damage calculation will also factor in the user's Magic attribute and the shooting animation will change. After firing, the +enhance value will be reset to 0. super potioman - damage calculation multiplies Strength by 4/3. battle potioman - firing it increases PV by 100 till the next turn. crush potioman - procs grenade (dependent on user's Strength and Marksman skill) if used when remaining ammo is 1. cf potioman - value of potions blended with it is multiplied by 3. The others have a maximum +enhance value of 3, but this one's maximum is 4. B-Da*an are probably not coming back in the Reiwa era and it's too hard to get a hold of Bott*eman toys, so I figured I'd at least enjoy them in-game. Both of these toys shoot bottle caps. Potions are the Irvan equivalent [of PET bottles] because of their availability. Put these two facts together, and we get... the potioman! There aren't any metal stoppers for potion bottles, so no metal potiomans. The limited ammo, guaranteed hits, damage ignoring, and MP damage-dealing mean that these are supposed to be used on tough enemies. You could use them on regular enemies, but that'd be a huge waste. These 4 items can also be modified by <Miral> the legendary smith once. Modifying it will change the item's prefix and give the item an equipment attribute. Its color before modification determines its form and suffix after modification. Changing its color afterwards will not affect its form and name. Equipment attributes applied during modification and their effect: (These equipment attributes are purely cosmetic; the game doesn't base item effect on whether the attributes are present or not. [The modification data is stored elsewhere.]) It gives a tremendous rotation to plug. Rolls to apply user's Strength-dependent Dim. Also rolls to decapitate (procs at 1/10 HP). It has high basic power. Multiplies base damage by 1.1. It fires two shots at the same time. Multiplies base damage by 1.8. Ammo consumption doubled. It can shoot continuously. Reloading no longer takes a turn. It allows precise shooting. There is no longer any variance in damage dealt. Damage dealt is always the maximum amount possible. It confuses with a changing trajectory. Rolls to apply user's Dexterity-dependent confusion, decreases the target's evasion by 100 DV until the target's next turn, and deals a small amount of user's Dexterity-dependent SP damage. [Artifact for exchange at Miral's] nyoi mimikaki 24 hours cooldown time. Can be used on adjacent tiles on any NPC (even hostile ones) as long as their Impress is at Fellow or above. The inside of the ear is gross so it's been blurred out. Cleaning an NPC's ears: Option 1: Put in carefully -> Put in all the way -> Carefully scrape The player character's Dexterity and Perception and target's Constitution and Will are rolled against the target's base Speed. This option is displayed only if the roll succeeds. If you manage to reach the 3rd stage, then the player character's Dexterity is rolled to determined the level (1 to 5) of earwax removed. Round 2 then begins. Succeeding again will end the ear cleaning. This won't give you any earwax items, but the greater the level of earwax removed, the greater the amount of Dexterity and Perception experience (for the player character) as well as Constitution and Will experience (for the target) received. Even for low levels [of earwax], the amount of experience given is comparable to herbed food. Option 2: Size adjustment An option that shows only when the player character's Will successfully rolls against the target's Will. Resets Size expansion. Option 3: Size expansion -> Size large expansion -> Rupture of ear canal Going all the way to the 3rd stage will roll to apply a fixed amount of bleed and end the session. Impress decreases by quite a bit but this is not considered an attack. Option 4: Thrust -> Stick in the ear -> Break through the eardrum Going all the way to the 3rd stage will deal player character Strength-dependent sound damage. Impress greatly decreases but is not considered an attack, so this can be used as a legal form of assassination. When used on the player character and getting an NPC to clean your character's ears: If the NPC is hostile, it deals Strength-dependent sound damage and ends. Otherwise, it rolls NPC's Dexterity and Perception and player character's Constitution and Will against player character's Speed 3 times. Upon success, it rolls the NPC's Dexterity to determine the level (1 to 5) of earwax removed. The higher the level, the higher the experience given to the NPC's Dexterity and Perception and to the player character's Constitution and Will. All of this happens twice per use. When the roll fails, bleed is applied and it ends. 2.02 12/30/2020 [Changes and additions] A new Act III sub quest from Garziem. There is no penalty for failing it and I highly recommend not reading any spoilers in the detailed changelog for maximum enjoyment. 4 new map tiles. Put 2 previously-unused BGM songs to use. As preparation for a future feature, from version 2.02 onward, the game will keep track of the number of potions consumed. Only potions that have a round-bottomed flask as their sprite will be counted. Potions quaffed, thrown, used (doused), mixed, and consumed in Alchemical Rain/Liquid Manipulation by the player are counted. Potions used by NPCs and those consumed during item fusion are not counted. Divine Wisdom (the spell that buffs Magic attribute) spell power is now independent of Magic attribute. This spell is the only one that has a spell power that that works this way. Divine Wisdom's spell power is still affected by the ["enhances your spells"] equipment attribute. Reduced the difference in base power between arrow, bolt, and ball-type spells. To be precise, their base power is now closer to that of bolt-type spells, which is in middle in terms of power. Arrow-type spells are also simpler to cast, so their spell power increases more easily with Magic attribute. Ball-type spells are more advanced, so their spell power increases more easily with their respective spell levels and the Casting skill level. Again, bolt-type spells are in the middle. Given the same [skill and attribute levels], all types of spells will do more or less the same amount of damage. NPCs that are of 'unique' quality now have an additional property: Damage received from an enemy that has a higher Speed attribute is reduced by a multiplier dependent on the difference in speed (at maximum reduction, damage is reduced to 1/5 of normal value.) Damage dealt to an enemy with a higher Speed is increased (up to a maximum of x5 damage). This balances out difference in speed. Will also work for pets. Spellbooks now recover a constant amount of spell stock, instead of recovering an amount that drastically decreased with current stock. This means that it's no longer more efficient to use up all spell stock before reading another spellbook. The amount of spell stock gained and Memorization skill experience gained have also been greatly increased. Made some table furniture usable. They can now be used to do some things like write books. Tables from saves from previous versions of Elona+ will not work. Traveling on the world map has a chance of giving ideas (chance is increased by Traveling skill), which can then be used to write books. Children resulting from alien pregnancies now spawn 0 years old. Also, when characters in towns impregnated by a sunbararian give birth, their children will [be the size of a] child and be disguised as a citizen. (The child will not, however, be named "child of ___" [like children resulting from a normal alien pregnancy].) [Fixes] Fixed the issue with the first character to take a turn after sprinkling bait in a ranch. The potion's quaff effect is no longer applied when enemies die from Liquid Manipulation damage. The NPC from version 2.01 that was supposed to be placed upon clearing Act III was present regardless of the quest progress variable, so the NPC has been given some pre-Act III clearing dialogue. To prevent crashes, "Original [appearance]" can no longer be selected from the menu for characters who have non-animated sprites and are currently under the effect of a shift core. Characters under the effect of a shift core also can no longer be evolved. Also fixed the issue with displaying the custom sprite of an NPC who has a default sprite ID of 1,000 or greater. Fixed the bug that prevented the year from being correctly looked up, causing anniversary events to not happen when waking up. Fixed the game not being to place objects on certain passable tiles when the player enters the map. Fixed "Decorative arts shop" shop types being unable to sell furniture. When entering a map that has no space to place a pet, the pet gets randomly placed somewhere else. However, it could result a crash when it randomly placed only one member of a tag team. To fix this, when randomly placing one member of a tag team, the other will now also be randomly placed as well. Fixed time not passing faster in shelters during bad weather. Also made a slight change to the rate at which time passes [when passing time quickly]. Fixed the crash the occurred when an NPC with a full inventory uses the Alchemical Rain or Liquid Manipulation special actions. If the NPC's inventory is full, it will just end its turn [instead of using the aforementioned special actions] now. 2.02: detailed changelog [New items] manuscript Does not spawn randomly. Junk item. book Has the appearance of a red book but is a different item. Does not have an item name. Does not spawn randomly. operating board Tool that does not spawn randomly. Using it has the same effect as a house board. Can be offered to Mani. [Effects of table furniture] Using a big table, table, ragged table, comfortable table, academic table, or modern table will display the options listed below. Other tables didn't seem suitable for writing, so those won't work. All of the tables in the above list work the same way; there is no bonus for using a particular table. Manuscript production Your character goes into auto-turn. 1 idea is expended every turn to produce 1 manuscript. Auto-turn does not end until interrupted or until there are no more ideas. Ideas cap at 100. There are 7 tiers of manuscript quality, indicated by the modifier in the item name: paper scraps, noob, commonplace, good sense, cool, satisfied, and masterpiece. As Literacy skill, Perception attribute, and Learning attribute increase, high-quality manuscripts will get produced more often. Identifying manuscripts will immediately reveal their quality, unlike in real life. Self-publishing Uses the entire stack of selected manuscripts and 30,000 gold to produce 100 red books, already identified. The quality of books inherit the manuscript quality. Cannot be used when there are fewer than 10 manuscripts in the selected stack. The title of the book is randomly generated during creation, but has no effect on the book price. The price of the book is dependent on the quality of manuscripts used in its creation and the number of manuscripts used (capped at 1,000). The publishing cost is fixed no matter how many manuscripts go into the book, so publishing more manuscripts at a time will increase your profit. Unlike in real life, books will fetch a decent price even if nobody has ever heard of the author. [The first sale from a batch of 100 books] will also give a small amount of fame. (You won't be notified of the increase if the book was sold in your shop.) The amount of fame gained is independent of the number of manuscripts in the book, and is solely dependent on book quality. This means that you can sell a lot of books with few manuscripts in them to increase fame, or sell books with a lot of manuscripts to earn money. Again, unlike in real life, you won't have to worry about unsold books, so you won't be able to reprint books - there won't be any more than 100 copies of a book. Spellbook conversion Halves the amount of spell stock for the selected spell. For every 1000 spell stock removed, create 1 spellbook with 1 charge of that spell. Cannot be used for spells that do not have a corresponding spellbook, and for spells that you do not have 2,000 or more in spell stock. For spells that have too much spell stock. [New Act III sub quest] Garziem Talk to Garziem in Albedrion to move to another floor of the map. This new floor gets regenerated once every few days. There won't be any instructions from any NPCs, but what you have to do is work on tasks A, B, and C using the operating board provided. (You can also use a house board if you brought one in.) Working on a task spends stamina and time every turn. Success depends on Perception and Learning attributes. Again, there won't be any specific details on how to do the tasks in-game, but A will not progress unless B is 500 or lower and your character's SP is at 50% or greater. B will not progress unless C is even and your character doesn't Need Sleep. C will not progress unless "Stay organized lightly" has been done 3 times or more and it is currently between 8am to 5pm. The "Stay organized lightly" counter decreases by 1 at 12am (does not go negative), and is reset [to 0] when quitting the game. After reducing task quota for all 3 tasks A, B, and C to 0, reporting to the NPC will reward you with a high potion of soma. Reporting when A's quota is 500 or less from 12am-2am, when B's quota is 500 or less from 3am-5am, and when C's quota is 500 or less from 12pm-2pm will increase their quota. Just remember that the afternoon and late night is risky. Picking "Stay organized lightly" 4 or more times and reporting to the NPC will reduce Impress, and reduce the number of times to 3. The message displayed changes up to 10 times, but there is otherwise no difference as long as the number of times is greater than 3. Reporting between 12am-5am will change the map's BGM. Talking to the NPC again after reporting task completion will offer different options. If Impress is Amiable or above and the correct options are selected, the sub quest is cleared. If you had lowered Impress by picking the "!!!" or "???" options in the previous choices, you'll have to raise it with love potions. When reporting with 0 Impress, there will be a special dialogue that occurs, after which Impress decreases even more. Regular conversations with NPCs on this map do not give the random Charisma-dependent increase in Impress. The quest map regenerates every few days, so you can go nuts with nukes and meteors. Going back out of the map [after clearing the sub quest] and talking to Garziem will award you with the N97 Cannon the first time. After clearing the quest, there is a 1/10 chance that it will become available again every time the date changes while the player isn't in Albedrion. The second time clearing the quest and onward will reward a jewel of tear of god - the type depends on the time of day at which the reward is received. This quest was made to resemble those retro puzzle games where conditions are unclear and hard to grasp. But there's no time limit and you can brute-force it or figure it out with the in-game hints easily. And once you figure it out it should be a piece of cake. Besides, the detailed changelog has all the details right here. It'll be a piece of cake, right??? 2.01 10/25/2020 [Changes and additions] 1 new unique NPC is now placed in Shrine of Guardian upon clearing Act III. Added a bit of post-Act III dialogue to NPCs relevant to the story. After considering the importance of skill bonus points, spell bonus points, and debris in planning a character build, growing said character according to the build, and also how easy they are to use, the amount of experience they grant is no longer tripled by training days and Advanced Casting. 10 debris is now awarded when a random Nefia is cleared [instead of 3]. Removed the 1.5x satiety increase modifier for blessed foods. Also increased the effect of lucky days caused by blessed foods and the amount of insanity recovered. Set an upper limit for damage dealt by exploding handmade chocolate. Greatly increased the amount of Evasion, Greater Evasion, and Riding skill experience earned when successfully dodging a physical attack. However, no experience will be received unless the attacker's relevant skills are higher than the target's Evasion skill level. Greatly increased the amount of Shield skill and armor skill experience received when receiving a physical attack. However, no experience will be received unless the amount of damage received is at least 1% of the maximum HP of the target. In short, the experience calculation is similar to what it was in previous versions, except that there's no randomness to it now, the prerequisites for earning experience have been relaxed, and the amount of experience received increases with the difference in skill level between attacker and target. It's now a lot more efficient to fight and get hit by an enemy that actually poses a threat instead of standing there and letting a weak one pummel you. Trap removal town board quests now have about 1/2 as many traps, and the quota has also been reduced to about a 1/3. Remove at least 1.25 times the quota to receive a bronze coin as a reward. The size of the quest map remains the same. The player character's speed now has less of an effect on the speed at which time passes. Slower races therefore now have more time to complete quests in early game. The character sheet now lists spell power modifier in the bottom right corner. The number of dice for attack spells is no longer increased by spell power. They now behave like a lot of other spells - only their dice range will be increased when spell power increases. Removed the Casting skill level-dependent spell power modifier for spells cast [but not for rods zapped] by non-pet NPCs. Added a Magic attribute-dependent spell power modifier for spells cast and rods zapped. This modifier is capped at a maximum of +300% spell power, reached when Magic attribute is 1,500 or greater. It is a separate modifier that works independent of the spell power modifier from the ["enhances your spell"] equipment attribute that has a maximum of +100% spell power modifier. Rods (the usable magic devices) now have their spell power increased when buffed by Magic Equip. Rods (the usable magic devices) now use Magic Device and Magic Capacity skill levels and Learning attribute to calculate spell power. In previous versions, they used Magic Device skill level and Magic and Perception attributes. Now use of rods depends on 2 skills and utilizes a couple of the underused stats. Magic Capacity skill feels underused even with the above change, so it now gives a bonus to the number of charges drawn and filled by Draw Charge and Fill Charge. The chance of preventing a rod from exploding during Fill Charge now depends on Magic Capacity instead of Control Magic. (Caps out at 99.5% chance of preventing explosion.) Draw Charge and Fill Charge usage now grants [Magic Capacity] skill experience. Decreased the amount of experience given by magic reaction. (Maximum is now given at -100% MP.) The skill can now also reduce the effect of the MPoison status ailment. Use of shift cores now costs nothing when power gauge is at 50% or more. Reading ancient books grants 10x as much Abyss power now. Using a dark fragment now grants 1 Abyss power. Added 3 new items that can be made from dark fragments in item fusion. Added an "Outta the way" option to the conversation window with friendly non-unique NPCs. (NB: Mistranslated as "I want you to investigate one of my allies." in game.) Selecting it will make it swap positions with the player character. Use when a citizen is blocking your path or something. Using it spends Attract. When Attract is 0, the NPC refuses to budge. Use of this is not unlimited so that NPCs can't be herded to a particular location. Distracted debuff from tobacco dependence now lasts 1/10 as many turns. Melancholy debuff from drug dependence now lasts 1/4 as many turns, so it's easier to quit now. Changed the description of the "maintains ______" attribute equipment attribute to "protects ______ from weakening". Just so that new players don't misinterpret it and think that it prevents those attributes from leveling up. [Lowered] the threshold for the amount of experience needed to be earned in order to gain potential when sleeping. Spell potential gained when sleeping will now be dependent on the amount of experience earned before sleeping. A very meager amount will be gained by a character who does nothing but sleep, while a character that goes on adventures will gain about twice as much spell potential compared to past versions. Emergency Evasion now prevents critical hits from occurring instead of evading critical hits 100% of the time. The user then rolls to evade the regular attack that happens in place of the critical hit. Increased the number of turns Emergency Evasion lasts for. When a character evolves, it is now fully healed. All status ailments are also removed, and power gauge becomes 200%. Because it's more exciting to evolve in combat. Reduced the rate at which Blood Stream special action's damage increases with the strength of bleed status ailment. Changed how some equipment attributes work when the item they're on is eaten. [Fixes] Made it easier to make progress during a certain Act III event boss battle. Fixed the crash that occurred when using a rod of alchemy while the gauge is full enough to use a gauge attack, and the game tries to decide if the gauge attack for stave weapons should proc. 2.01: detailed changelog [New items] green dark orb, blue dark orb, crimson dark orb Not randomly generated. Each of these have 5 different subtypes with different effects. If you obtain duplicates of any [subtype], feel free to sell it off. Actual effects to be implemented in the future. [New item fusion recipe] dark fusion Creates [1] out of the 3 aforementioned items at random. The number of subtypes that can be created is limited when the player character's Disarm Trap skill level is not high enough. Selecting dark fragments as the ingredient will put them into their own stack just like when crafting rubynus and the other gems. [New NPC] <Aime> the story teller Level 15 spirit. Uses Abyss in the eye, Divine Wisdom, Darkness Bolt, Chaos Ball, Draw Shadow, and Eye of Insanity. 2.00fix 9/13/2020 [Fixes] Fixed entering 15F Rehmido for the first time in version 2.00 taking the user to the wrong map and causing the player to be unable to progress with the main quest. Reentering 15F in this version will regenerate the floor and fix the main quest trigger. This bug was caused by overwriting the wrong file when working on 2.00. Fixed the crash that sometimes occurred when the player character has no spells/special actions/wide special actions to hide and the player attempts to hide an item in the list after tabbing over to the current list. 2.00 9/05/2020 [Changes and additions] Added final boss battle and the ending. With this, the main quest is finally done. Naturally, people who haven't been following along still won't understand the story though. The code for this is fairly complicated, I highly recommend backing up your save data before attempting the new content [in case of bugs]. Next to be worked on is post-game content and the various features that have been left on the back burner. Shortened the number of turns needed between cutscenes in an Act III event boss battle by quite a fair bit. Changed how skill-training days are selected. If the skill-training trigger for the previous day has been activated, it will select the next one in a list. If it has not been activated or if all skill-training triggers have already been activated, a random skill-training day will be picked. The character sheets of allied characters (includes pets, summoned undead, and friendly NPCs in quests and such) are now viewable by selecting an option when 'i'nteracting with them. This also allows you to spend their bonus points. Informers will now offer info about adventurers instead. Analysis immediately reaches 100 when using an insight lens on a hostile NPC. Information on adventurers costs 100 gold at an informer, and their character sheet can be viewed by selecting them from the list shown. This should make their individual characteristics more apparent. They may also belong to a guild or worship a particular god - these are also displayed on their character sheet. The list of adventurers now display their Impress instead of their level. The character sheets of character other than the player character and pets no longer have their karma. The karma of pets is now always the same as the player's. Character sheets of NPCs other than pets and adventurers will not display the guild they belong to. Non-pet NPCs will now have fame - also viewable - based on their level and character quality. When recruited [as a pet], their fame drastically falls. Pets who have won in the pet arena will gain fame themselves. They do not lose fame after losing a battle. Edited the descriptions of several items to make their effect clearer. To make the various types of chests more valuable, bejeweled chests now have a 100% chance and regular chests a 25% chance of yielding 1 herb. Regular chests also have a 50% chance and safes a 25% chance of yielding 1 bronze coin. Reduced the range in quality of spawned items [from opening chests]. Changed the calculation for AP cost of increasing Speed and Life. It is now based on the starting value, not the current value. It is now a fair bit more expensive at the beginning compared to previous versions, but this cost will never increase. This is so that players don't need to hold off on evolving pets until they have bought all the upgrades they can with AP to lower costs. The player character's Speed will now increase in increments of 30. The Wet status counter no longer decreases while standing on a water tile. [Fixes] Fixed some descriptions. 2.00: detailed changelog [Changes to informer's menu selection] Convey my message to other adventurers Pick your target from a list and then it'll show you a list of messages to pick. [Adventurers who have been recruited as] pets, as well as adventurers on the same map cannot be picked. The messages are listed below. When a message activates it will get cleared. If you select another message before a message activates, the new message will overwrite the current one. Please cancel my message. Removes the message. I want to get along with you Impress increases when talking to the target. If the target is hostile, entering the map the target is on will [remove the hostility]. Please come to my house to play Will greatly increase the likelihood of visiting your home when generating a visitor to your home. I love you! Impress greatly increases when talking to the target if the target's Impress is at Fellow or above. If Impress is less than that, it slightly decreases. I'm rooting for you! Guaranteed to nullify the "realized the limitations and retired" event for that adventurer once. You don't have talents of adventurer. Guaranteed to cause the adventurer to "realized the limitations" and retire after fully recovering from injury. [New NPCs] <Yayauhqui Tezcatlipoca> Level 1,200 god. Vulnerable to "inflicts massive damage to Gods", floats. Distant Attack, Dimensional Move, Eye of Illusion, Attribute, Summon chaos (summons talon soldier that are 1/5 of own level that cannot be Dominated). Has the ability to negate smokescreens during its turn. <Jaldabaoth>The Chaos Child Level 1,200 god. Vulnerable to "inflicts massive damage to Gods", floats. Bonus chaos resistance. Eating corpse increases chaos resistance. Cancels Death Word on death. Has these moves but will not use them in the final battle of the main quest: Shadow Step, Chaos Breath, Fire Ball. <Orphe> the prince of lost kingdom Level 155 servant. Uses Shining Wave, Hero. <Orphe> the chaos disciple Level 350 servant. Vulnerable to "inflicts massive damage to Gods", floats. Bonus chaos resistance. Uses Chaos Ball, Shining Wave, Cowering Smile. [Additional main quest content] Talk to Leold to go to God's prison. Wish, 'P'raying, saving, and retreating are disabled as usual. <The Chaos Child> is here, but will never move and will respawn upon defeat. Defeat <Orphe> the chaos disciple to proceed to phase 2 of the event. [They] have the summoned NPC bit flag so [they] won't drop anything. Future versions may add an opportunity to fight them as well as other unique NPCs that the player hasn't had the opportunity to obtain the drops of yet. From phase 2 till the end, all characters will take turns one after another regardless of their speed. <Jaldabaoth>The Chaos Child's will use its unique special action Kamui during its turn, but the effects of that special action varies every turn it takes in the following manner: 1 <Respiration of Creative Gods> - recovers 10% of the user's max HP, MP, and SP. 2 <Roar of Fighting Gods> - sets user's power gauge to 200%. 3 <Assault of Beast Gods> - uses 50% of power gauge to halve the current HP of all characters other than the user. Will fail to work if the user does not have enough SP. 4 <Referee of Judicial Gods> - uses 50% of power gauge to roll to apply Punishment, Paralyze, and Death Word (can be resisted or nullified) to all characters other than the user. Will fail to work if the user does not have enough SP. 5 <Grudge of Abominable Gods> - uses 50% of power gauge to apply 1d100 of insanity to all characters other than the user. Will fail to work if the user does not have enough SP. 6 <Commandment of Hell Gods> - uses 50% of power gauge to halve the current power gauge and SP of all characters other than the user. Will fail to work if the user does not have enough SP. 7 (Phase 2) <Elements Killing> - deals a series of small amounts of reducible 12-elemental damage to the player character. (11 of the basic elements plus PVDV element.) 7 (Phase 4) <HOROBINOYARI> - deals 2x the player character's max HP in damage to the player character. Surviving 3 sets of these attacks or reducing Jaldabaoth's HP to half of the maximum (you can't kill it) will cause the event to enter phase 3. In phase 3, everything other than moving into another tile and physical attacks done this way is disabled. Damage-over-time will occur every turn and HP regeneration is disabled. There will be a counter at the top of the window which will be decreased whenever taking a lethal amount of damage, and the damage will be nullified. The counter starts at 26, and increases for every pet in the list of pet that is at Friend Impress or above. It also increases depending on [how many] sub quests have been cleared so far as well as other special event triggers. Some of these triggers increase the counter by 2 or more each. Jaldabaoth will not do anything in this phase. Attacking Jaldabaoth will bring the event to phase 4. In phase 4, whenever the player character does damage to Jaldabaoth, the counter will be decremented, but the damage will be increased by 5% of the maximum HP of the target. This will be a race to kill the target before the counter runs out. Damage dealt in this phase will not update the highest damage dealt record. For a list of Jaldabaoth's actions, see the phase 2 list. Defeating Jaldabaoth will start the ending. This event battle was balanced by taking into consideration how powerful the player character should be at this point. The difficulty is set such that players should be able to clear this event on the first try except for maybe phase 2. Even phase 2 should be manageable as long as the player has taken precautions against the debuffs, status ailments, and has sufficient elemental resistances. If the player also keeps the boss's power gauge low it gets even easier. If the player character dies during this battle, the player will have to start [the battle] over again.

Personal finance, healthy living, and money saving tips for everyday life, with a few thoughts thrown in too! Home About Me Contact Me! Health & Fitness Home & Garden Life Misc Tips Parenting Personal Finance Thoughts for Thursday: Vacation – Leave the Electronics At Home and Enjoy Yourself! April 29, 2010 · 862 comments in Thoughts For Thursday I love vacation. As I get older, I appreciate vacation more and more. Maybe it is because my kids are getting older and we are able to do more things. Also, I know that my kids won’t be going on vacation with me forever so I put a higher priority on the vacations we do have. (Of course, my kids will always be welcome to go on vacation with my husband and I, but not so sure my kids’ future spouses will be excited to spend their downtime with their mother-in-law.) So now I find myself pondering where to go on vacation this summer. I have decided that we will be driving, not flying, so that limits our possibilities somewhat. I am currently contemplating somewhere in South Carolina, as none of us have been there before, and then a side trip to the Smoky Mountains. When I think of the Smoky Mountains, I think of the first vacation my husband and I took after we were married. We both had jobs, but we still had very little money. We had debt from our wedding, debt from my student loans, car payments, etc. Therefore, we knew we had to be cheap. So we bought a tent and went camping in Mammoth Cave Kentucky and then the Smokies in Tennessee. We got quite a few comments from my husband’s side of the family about how we wouldn’t like camping and such. We then had to hear all their camping horror stories and I believe we were told we would never do it again. Well that trip turned out to be one of our very favorites of all time, and we have been married almost 19 years now. As an added bonus, the entire week cost less than 300 dollars. What made the trip so good? Well, we went to places we had never been before. (By the way, the Smoky Mountains are named that way for a reason. We took a hike to the highest point in the Smokies to see the sunset, only to be greeted with fog/mist, whatever it was and could not see a thing. It wasn’t smoky, but the air was thick as smoke.) We learned how to cook outside, which was fun too. But one reason I think it was so enjoyable is that we were outside, without a strict schedule or any form of electronics. It was just us on our own, going wherever we wanted. There wasn’t a laptop to check emails or cell phones to look at the latest news. Actually, I think we did have a cell phone that was in a giant bag that could be plugged into the cigarette lighter in the car. Minutes were so expensive that we didn’t even think of making phone calls unless it was absolutely necessary. However, that vacation was a real vacation. We got away from our everyday lives and experienced a totally different life, and it was wonderful. This year, I think I may just leave the laptop at home. People survived for thousands of years without the ability to constantly connect with everyone and everything. I think I have gotten so used to information always being available that I have become too dependent on it. But I don’t think I need to know of all the troubles in the world while on vacation. I think I will just bring a stack of books instead. So, what was your favorite vacation? Feel free to leave a comment and share!

Tagged as: getting away, smoky mountains, Summer vacation, trips { 859 comments… read them below or add one } Budgeting in the Fun Stuff April 29, 2010 at 4:25 pm My husband and I have been on lots of great vacations, but I remember three being extra cool. The first was the trip to New Orleans the summer before Katrina. We went to the New Orleans Aquarium one day and the New Orleans Zoo the next. It was a ton of fun. I watched a pair of sea otters for nearly an hour just because they were so fun. I also enjoyed my husband looking like a kid while he was watching the bald eagle and parrots do their thing. The second was the 5 night Caribbean cruise we went on last year. The food was delicious, the activities were fun, and the atmosphere was perfect. My absolute favorite part was snorkeling in Cozumel…the fish would come right up to us to have their picture taken! A Baracuda scared the bejeezes out of me, but we had a great time. The last was our most recent visit to my friend in Waco…she took us on a tour of the zoo she works at. It was amazing! I actually have 3 weeks of my blog posts written in advance and the zoo trip is coming up as a Fit in a Fun Friday in a few weeks. We’re taking another 5 night Caribbean cruise this summer that I’m really looking forward to, but we leave our electronics at home. Since I do have posts scheduled in advance and don’t have a job I need to be in touch with when I’m not there, we’ll leave our lap tops at home like normal. We only take our cell phones for emergencies but NO WORK…or blogging… Reply Kris April 29, 2010 at 10:18 pm That all sounds wonderful. I have never been on a cruise, or been anywhere in the Caribbean. You obviously liked your last cruise since you are going again. Also, I love sea otters, second only to manatees! Thanks for the comment! Reply Money Reasons April 29, 2010 at 11:24 pm I enjoyed the Disney trip we went to last year. The kids had a blast! I personally enjoyed some of the little things, like the boat rides from our resorts to Disney downtown and back (especially at night). For the past few years, we usually go to Hilton Head, and I’ve grown to really like it quite a bit there. San Francisco was fun, but that was a business trip that felt like a vacation 🙂 Reply Kris April 30, 2010 at 3:14 pm We love Disney, and you are right, it is the little things that make a difference. We always enjoy dinner at Captain Jack’s wharf in downtown Disney and just walking around there. We are contemplating Hilton Head this summer, so I may be asking your for advice.

I just got back from another trip to the City of Roses. This time I went to celebrate the marriage of my son Mike to his long time girlfriend Kelly. I am happy beyond words, so I’ll try to keep them at a minimum, and let a few pictures stand in for a thousand or so that wouldn’t do the weekend justice. Here they are outside the Multmonah County courthouse after the ceremony: And here is a nice shot of them at our celebratory lunch at Produce Row Cafe in Portland OR: I’m amazed to say I actually took this picture myself, and that it turned out to be one of their favorites. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I actually was able to operate my camera on the day of my only son’s wedding, and take a few decent pictures of targets that move faster than eggplants or cabbage. The next day we drove out to a beautiful spot on the Clackamas River for the second part of their wedding event: Mike filmed part of the music video Mystery Life he wrote and directed last summer at this location. They both chose this spot to “take the plunge” so they could have truly unique wedding photos. Here they are, rowing over to the other side of the river. And here they are, poised to jump: And there they go: It was magical, beautiful, thrilling (and a little bit scary as a parent, I’ll admit). But the beauty of the place, their trust in one another, and their sense of adventure were infectious, and blessed us all. Here they are, post jump: And since this is a blog about my own slow motion miracle, I’ll also say that the way down to this spot is a very narrow, often rocky footpath, not as wide or accessible as the trail at Elk Creek I hiked last summer. And I made it down, with Romeo spotting me every step of the way. Here we are, taking in the view after our hike down the slope: Once there, I managed to put on my glasses and take a few photos. Here I am, new glasses on, caught in the act: I even “peed in the wild” (but thankfully no one caught that on camera!). Even though I wasn’t the one who jumped, I decided to take a break in the raft after all the excitement: And since this is also a blog about food, I can’t let this post go by without a glowing mention of our dinner out to celebrate the jump at Bamboo back in Portland. Here is a shot of Romeo and me en route to the restaurant: At the risk of overestimating, I’d say Bamboo is the most amazing sushi place on the planet. They actually call themselves “the first certified sustainable sushi restaurant in the world,” and part of their mission is to make sure all their produce and fish are harvested by healthy, sustainable standards while still being delicious and appealing. I say it’s the best on the planet because they not only had fresh healthy vegan options, but the waitress worked with me to find three different dishes that could be adapted to my very strict requirements (no oil, soy, or gluten). And they all were delicious. We weren’t in photo mode at the table, but they were so spectacular that at the last minute I attempted to get a shot on Mike’s iphone before gobbling it all up. Here’s what I came up with: This is a shot of the three dishes I could eat. On the right is a fresh forage plate, which that night consisted of a fresh melon, tomato and basil salad dressed with fresh limes and juice and a tiny bit of some kind of special salt. The forage plate is different each week depending on what is in season locally. It was hard to believe something so simple could be so heavenly. In the back center is a classic vegetable roll with avocado, cucumber, carrot and roasted red pepper. Wonderful. And front and center and to the left was the piece de resistance that evening: a baked sweet potato box, topped with a slight dusting of sesame powder and chili powder. It usually comes in soya garlic butter, but I asked if that could be left off and put on the side for anyone who wanted to taste it. The presentation of everything, even the water glasses (note the cucumber slice at the bottom) was elegant without being opulent. Just simple, and fresh, and gorgeous. Even the pickled ginger was heavenly, thin slices, not discolored with the usual pink preservative effect. But back to those sweet potatoes: These were so good that we ordered a second “box” so everyone could try them. Kelly’s Dad, who is definitely not vegan, was heard to say “these would make a vegan out of anyone!” And aren’t they just lovely to look at, despite the dark photo? It was a beautiful weekend, running the gamut from the fun and hilarious to laughter through tears and tenderness. I feel so blessed, not only to have kept up with it all, but that at the courthouse wedding I was able to serenade Mike and Kelly along with Mike’s Dad with an acapella version of Devoted To You. Once upon a time, I sang at weddings, but before I started eating low fat whole plants my throat had become too weak to manage something like this. Years ago, after John Denver died, I can remember putting on a favorite hits CD and trying to sing along, my back flat on the floor to help with projecting my voice, and ending up in silent tears because I couldn’t sing to my satisfaction. Not anymore. To be able to bless my son and new daughter-in-law with a song is itself a blessing beyond compare. I know my mother, who was a vocal music teacher, was smiling down on all of us for including it in the weekend of festivities. So did I have a good time? I’d have to say the answer to that is exactly what Mike and Kelly ordered to have written on their second cake from vegan Sweet Pea Baking Company in Portland. The first one, at the top of the post, said “Mike and Kelly.” And the second one (which was a vegan, gluten free cheesecake)–well, the second one, said this: Maybe this is not the way I would normally say it at this point in my life, but nevertheless I couldn’t agree more. (Truth be told, there have been moments in my life I’ve sworn like a sailor, savoring every profane syllable that came out of my mouth.) Whatever type of expletive you feel most comfortable with, it was a fabulous, loving, spectacular time. All of us family members on both sides are so delighted these two are now officially hitched. And we’re lucky too. Between their newly purchased home and the old rental they just moved out of, they graciously managed to put us all up for the weekend, and host a wedding party to boot. If it gets much better than this, I can’t imagine how. Hats off and love unlimited to my amazing son and daughter-in-law for “taking the plunge”!!

I think I like them. 🙂 And I’m glad you found your song again; would love to hear it someday (post a vine!). I love to sing, but I think I’d get kicked out of the courthouse were I to break out in song at a family wedding… Fuck yeah is right!! Sometimes only certain expressions will do – and I think this was a perfect time. Congrats again to you on your miracles, both personal and familial! Reply 14 moonwatcher August 30, 2013 at 10:28 am HI Veronica, thanks for this awesome comment that made me laugh out loud in places, especially the part about you getting kicked out of the courthouse if you tried to sing. Sing away, girl!! And I’m glad you loved the photos of the food. It really was a magnificent dining out experience. And yes, sometimes only certain expressions will do. LOL I have no doubt you and Mike and Kelly would indeed like each other. 🙂 Thanks for all the wonderful well wishes here. 🙂 Reply 15 kally August 30, 2013 at 1:52 pm wonderful wedding, and you look so good.

By Jamila Trindle OZAN KOSE/AFP/Getty Images December 27, 2013, 11:19 PM Turkey's economy was already in a shaky place, thanks to decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve that could make it harder for Ankara to sell its goods and borrow cash overseas. A widening corruption scandal in Turkey could turn things from bad to worse. Twenty-four people, including relatives of officials and high-level executives have been arrested so far, in a corruption investigation that is creeping closer to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. As the political crisis has intensified this week, top officials have resigned, others have been dismissed and Erdogan has been called to resign. Protesters took to the streets Friday in Istanbul and were met with police tear gas, the Associated Press reported. The growing unrest has already taken a toll on Turkey's currency, which hit a record low this week before rebounding somewhat on Friday. If the flight from the Turkish Lira is followed by long-term investors also deciding to leave the country, Turkey's economy could be hit hard. Turkey’s economy was already in a shaky place, thanks to decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve that could make it harder for Ankara to sell its goods and borrow cash overseas. A widening corruption scandal in Turkey could turn things from bad to worse. Twenty-four people, including relatives of officials and high-level executives have been arrested so far, in a corruption investigation that is creeping closer to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. As the political crisis has intensified this week, top officials have resigned, others have been dismissed and Erdogan has been called to resign.

The growing unrest has already taken a toll on Turkey’s currency, which hit a record low this week before rebounding somewhat on Friday. If the flight from the Turkish Lira is followed by long-term investors also deciding to leave the country, Turkey’s economy could be hit hard. "If the instability and this crisis continues, then I suspect there’s also going to be pressure on the country’s growth prospects as business people from Turkey or outside Turkey will become less willing to invest," said Kemal Kirisci, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution. Kirisci said the investigation is recognition of what many people had suspected behind closed doors — companies with close government ties were more likely to benefit from large development projects than companies without them. He said the extent of the damage to Turkey’s economy will depend a lot on how deeply democratic institutions like the separation of powers and rule of law are damaged as the political scandal unfolds. "No business in a capitalist environment is going to feel comfortable in a situation where the judiciary is compromised," Kirisci said. The instability comes at a sensitive time for the Turkish economy, which analysts see as vulnerable to a recent decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve to pull back on its stimulus program. The Fed announced earlier this month that it would start scaling back its bond-buying program in January. In an effort to help the U.S. economy, the Fed had been buying bonds in order to hold down borrowing costs and encourage banks to lend and, in turn, businesses and individuals to spend. But now the Fed sees the U.S. economy as recovering, so it plans to reduce the number of bonds it buys every month. The Fed’s decision to buy fewer bonds, which will likely increase the value of the U.S. dollar, could hurt emerging market economies like Turkey. While the value of the U.S. dollar and interest rates have been low, investors sought bigger returns abroad. The Fed’s decision to "taper" its bond-buying program could lead to rising interest rates that could prompt investors to shift their money back to American investments. Tim Ash, chief economist at Standard Bank Group, said Turkey is particularly vulnerable to the Fed’s tapering because of its reliance on borrowing money from abroad. "This comes at a tricky time for the Turkish economy and markets," Ash said in an email. He said he doesn’t see the political crisis resolving quickly, which could mean that investors will continue to want to sell Turkish Lira, further driving down the value of the currency. While instability doesn’t bode well for the short term, Turkish-American business consultant Elmira Bayrasli said long-term investors are less likely to be scared off. "There’s a political earthquake going on in Turkey, but at the same time it’s a fairly stable country," Bayrasli said. She said the government is not likely to collapse and the crisis could even prove the strength of the government’s institutions, if they can weather the political tumult. Still, the ongoing investigation could keep new investors from jumping into the Turkish market in 2014. Bayrasli, who is writing a book on global entrepreneurship, said Turkish start-ups should be ready to answer some tough questions about the impact of the political crisis if they’re seeking money abroad. "I just don’t think there’s going to be a whole lot of new money going into Turkey," Bayrasli said. That could mean a tough year ahead for Turkish businesses.

Why would you associate disappearing in a very harsh environment as murder? People disappear in such environments all the time . They could have fallen into a crevasse and their bodies covered with snow? Are there examples of straight line multiple rib fractures and flail chest that you could put forward to substantiate your claim that these injuries are consistent with hand to hand combat? My own analysis suggests that these injuries could not have been caused in that way. At least not by a human. Also the shape of Thibo’s depressed fracture is identical in shape and proportions to the ball of a thumb. I would expect a rifle butt to be flatter on one side. Again are there examples to substantiate that a blow from a rifle butt can result in such a shape on the skull? One other question. Why do you think it was human rather than a Yeti?

There are a couple of questions that come to mind: 1. Were Lyuda's chest injuries a result of a single large impact or two separate impacts? 2. Is it a coincidence that the two people with significant chest injuries also both had missing eyes? I think for 1 two impacts seem more likely but if this were the case would the first impact not absorb most of the energy of the fall which then leaves the question where did the energy come from for the second impact?

Extract is below: K: And the sheet that hung at the entrance? Could you see it? MSh: Yes there was, it looks like there was. Maybe that's why they didn't try to go out through the entrance. On one side of the entrance there was a stove, there was something else they had there. Then it [the sheet] was hung up and it was necessary to leave the tent very quickly. I have such an opinion, to the question why they left the tent so urgently, there can be only one answer: life threatening factors, most likely poisoning. They could not breathe. If there was a movement of snow, they would not have run like that. At night they don’t see how much snow is moving, but the slide stopped. The tent was not demolished. After all, it didn’t grind everyone head over heels with the tent. I think that these were factors related to the unknown and the inability to continue to be here. Couldn't breathe! And the poisoning is such that they felt it. That's why they ran. I thought the sheet was used to make a partition in the tent for the girls? So what was it doing at the entrance to the tent? Keeping the draft out?

Another person described the entrance as buttoned closed. This does not make any sense unless the group were convinced they were being asked to come out for just a moment of interrogation. As far as the footprints, a force could have been standing farther from the group as they were commanded to walk down to the tree line which they accommodated and walked in unison trying to figure out the next step to stay alive. It is possible they were tortured with fire but it is also possible they were separated and interrogated with the "force" going back and forth to check each person's answers. There was said to be pieces of flesh on the tree bark and the hands of the 2 Yuri's were macerated. They definitely climbed the tree as noted by the cut branches, but still no purpose for that has been established. There was discussion about poisoning to get them out of the tent. I wonder if it is possible the 3 small cuts were actually from outside the tent and the one seamstress was just making her personal guess. I could guess someone forced a substance, maybe powdered mushrooms or possibly LSD into the tent either by the Mansi which was suggested also, or by the KGB.

It's interesting though when you consider the scene. I can't be sure but it does appear that the three cuts were made from inside, and then the holes were made bigger by grabbing the cuts and pulling, tearing the tent. There is a suppose to be a hole in the tent with one of Dyatlov's jackets stuffed into it. The blankets are layed out and not crumpled. Thibo and Semyon were better dressed and had shoes on. Semyon had his camera around his neck. Rusted managed to put on one boot but not the other, which I assume was left in the tent (7 Valenki). They took matches, a flashlight, knives or at least one or more pen knives. Another jacket was found about 10 metres from the tent. They definitely left in a hurry and they didn't stop to finish dressing.

And its tricky. If we knew that we were dealing with a crime then we would have to curtail the wild theories. But because we dont know if a crime was committed then we can allow these wild theories. I suppose most would agree that the Yeti theory comes under the wild heading. Even so it is probably best if we keep our feet on the ground so to speak.

The Yeti is a wild theory. But I think if it’s worth considering it is worth considering properly. Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence. We have all been indoctrinated to believe that such creatures don’t exist. Yet there are hundreds of eye witness reports and lots of grainy videos and photographs some of which are at least credible. Don’t get me wrong I too am still sceptical and as previously stated in this topic , when I first started to look at it I expected to find evidence to rule it out. However I found evidence that supports it. Saying that caution is still required because when you introduce potentially mythical explanations into a theory it becomes easier to fit the myth to the evidence. I don’t think I have done that. There is a narrative that seems to fit. Many pieces of evidence can be attributed to different causes but when you do that the narrative moves further and further away from reality and almost becomes as unlikely as the myth. Examples below: 1. Leaving the tent with no shoes or outside clothes suggests an immediate threat to their lives. There are many possible threats that might explain this. A dangerous animal or creature being one. 2. Thibo’s head injury is identical in shape and proportion to a very large thumb. This could be coincidence. Thibo May have fallen heavily and hit his head on a rock of exactly the right shape and radius of curvature and luckily did sustain any other significant injuries to extremities or body. 3. Rustem head injury and internal bleeding/damage is consistent with an assault of some kind. But he may have simply wandered around the slope repeatedly falling over hitting his head until he just gave up and layer down to die. 4. Lyuda and Semyon’s injuries are consistent with a massive assault typical of that of an large ape with facial damage including eye removed and Lyuda tongue, hyoid bone. But it is possible that they just fell off a ridge and landed heavily sustaining very similar injuries while not significantly hurting arena/legs, ankles and wrists. It is possible that the eyes and tongue are just a component of natural decay and the unusual movement of the hyoid bone is just normal. 5. Yuri D climes the cedar when it is likely that he had severe frost bite. Was he trying to find safety from something or was he just trying to get fire wood and look for his friends. Why would the government behave so strangely about the case, even if they knew a Yeti was involved? Maybe because the creature was a hybrid human that they themselves had been experimenting with and had been released into the wild. NB previous government sponsored research into producing human/ape hybrids. Maybe it was just something else - nuclear or chemical weapon test. The point is the more you try to explain away all the related circumstances as coincidence the more unlikely that narrative becomes too.

His apartment is directly above where he was found. His balcony door was open and dirt was found on the hand rail that matches the dirt on his shoes. What do you think happened to him!

Regards Star man [/quote] All these injuries bespeak an attack. We can safely dismiss the avalanche theory. There were no avalanches in the area. We can safely dismiss the infrasound theory. There are no observations of infrasound no observations of infrasound having that particular effect. There are no observations of infrasound having made a large group of people lose their senses in the same way with no one among a group of intelligent humans being able to reason clearly. We can safely dismiss the yeti theory. Yetis do not exist, and fantasy creatures do not kill people. - Leaving the tent without proper clothing or mittens means that there was an immediate threat to their lives. The only probable threat would come from other humans. There were no bite marks, no claw marks, on any of the victims, so the wolverine theory as well as the wolf theory can also be dismissed. - The injuries of the two Yuris are consistent with their attempt to flee their attackers by desperately trying to climb a tree with bare hands without mittens. That kind of desperation is seen when someone is pursued. - The shape of the head injury of Thibo is consistent with the impact of a few blows from a rifle butt. - The head injury of Rustem Slobodin, likewise. There is no possibility that these injuries could have resulted from him stumbling around and falling. - The injuries of Lyuda and Semyon are consistent with repeated blows by trained killers. From my jiu jitsu training (I am merely a yellow belt, though) I know very well that elbow strikes by a trained human can create just these injuries. There is no possibility that these injuries came from a fall. The ravine was not steep enough, and if there had been a fall it would still be impossible that both would have the same kind of chest damage with no damage to their limbs. - These people were all murdered, and they were murdered by another group of humans who took great care to make it look like an accident. The attackers' intelligence and skill is beyond doubt, only Igor Dyatlov had an injury that seems to have been caused by an edged weapon - most likely a bayonet which Igor hit when he tried to fight against his attackers. However, these attackers were not local people or common criminals. - Why the Soviet government behaved so strange? Well, these nine students were gifted individuals and many of them had high technical competence. If they witnessed something there in the Urals they were not supposed to know about, they would pose a potential security risk to the state. Given the international situation at the time, the Soviet government could not afford such a risk. So, an "accident" occurred. - Yes, there was an "overwhelming force" indeed. That was the investigator's way to indirectly state what killed these unfortunates.

It does fit an attack - and Yetis might not exist, but given the wealth of reports many by credible people it would be foolish to rule it out as a possibility and there is evidence that fits. Thibo’s skull fracture doesn’t resemble a rifle butt. This is examined in a previous post. I would not rule out the possibility of a simple snow slide that covered the tent forcing the hikers to cut their way out. WAB has presented a convincing scenario where the injuries could have been sustained. Put the snow slide and WANs idea together and there is a simple plausible explanation. The injuries are very suspect. But it isn’t impossible that they occurred naturally. If the tent was covered with snow and they had to dig their way out it would not be long before their hands would loose all feeling and become useless. Clearly this is why Krivonischenko bit his own finger. From shear frustration and desperation knowing he needed his hands to survive. He probably could not feel any pain when he did this. I still don’t think there is enough evidence - even speculative to suggest they were attacked by people.

Many thanks to all the contributors. My addition to the Yeti/Menk theory is the following exerpt from a study ("The Legend of the Almas: A Comparative and Critical Analysis" available here: https://digitalcollections.sit.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http://www.google.ro/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjuhuz238TpAhWmThUIHf1qBtgQFjAWegQICRAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdigitalcollections.sit.edu%2Fcgi%2Fviewcontent.cgi%3Farticle%3D1780%26context%3Disp_collection&usg=AOvVaw1KzWTt1DiKO5WLzsHJ0NH8&httpsredir=1&article=1780&context=isp_collection) concerning the existence of the "Almas" creature (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almas_(cryptozoology)), which, unlike the almost entirely peacefull Yeti, can react with violence when cornered: "There were also many wartime sightings and interactions with the almas. In 1925 in the Pamir mountains, Russian soldiers had cornered rebels in a cave (“Russian Bigfoot“). However, there was an almas in the cave, which attacked the rebels one by one, until one of the rebels managed to shoot and kill it (“Russian Bigfoot”). The one surviving rebel showed the almas to Russian General Mikhail Stephanovitch Topilski, who described it in an official report (“Russian Bigfoot“)." Very interestingly for DPI, the "almas" attacked the rebels "one by one", until there was only one survivor (that managed to kill it). The author, at the end of the study, makes his own assertion regarding the existence of the "Almas": "My Explanation For The Almas. After completing this paper, my opinion on the question of the reality of the almas is that it definitely used to and possibly still does exist as a real creature. I think the most likely explanation is that the almas is a small, surviving group of Neanderthals or some other, possibly unknown, descendent of homo erectus. Neanderthals and possibly some other pre-human species were alive at the same time as modern humans before competition drove them to extinction."

I've found the Siberian Chuchuuna (6 to 7 feet high that reportedly feeds on human flesh , also spelled Tjutjuna), the Mongolian Almas (6 to 7 feet high that can kill a yak with a single paw swipe, also called Almasti or Mulen) , the Nepalese Yeti (the Abominable Snowman, 7 to 9 feet high that is usually peacefull, but attacks humans when cornered/threatened. Other names Nyalmo, Chuti, Ban Jhakri). Any one of those cryptozoological beasts had the strength to produce serious injuries (cracked skulls, broken ribs), and all of them are reported to attack people when cornered/threatened. One report on the Yeti mentions two of them attacking a yak herd in the middle of the night, killing two yaks immediately (by grabbing them by the horns and snapping their necks) and completely consuming (eating) them by morning. Another report of a Yeti attack in 1974 on a herd of human-held yaks produced an immediate victim (a yak had it's neck snapped immediately), who's brain was later eaten.

It is not great as I had to use my phone. It appears that the hole was cut, then hands were used to pull at the hole to make it bigger. It could have been the hikers themselves or the search party or someone/something else . I would not be surprised if the other cuts were used in the same way. image uploader I am still pondering the scene at the tent. I think there are several key pieces of information of note: 1. The cuts made from the inside of the tent. 2. The fact that the group left the camp site all together 3. The fact that many of them did not collect appropriate clothing and footwear. E.g Rustem's single boot. 4. Nothing obvious taken from the tent. 5. The front of the tent was found still standing. There other facts but the above are the ones that I am interested at the moment. There are also reports that there was a sheet set up near the entrance, also that there was a hole with a jacket pushed into it. There are also reports of another jacket and shoes found several metres from the tent. I am cautious with the eye witness information as it is less reliable and the scene at the tent was messed up when the rescue party arrived. There's not much to go on, but I keep coming back to this as I think understanding this scene is very important. I will post any ideas I come up with. Regards Star Man Logged June 05, 2020, 05:52:15 PM Reply #416 Star man Case-Files Achievement Recipient Star man Case-Files Achievement Recipient Posts: 1308 Country: Re: Exploring The Yeti Theory I think there are several key pieces of evidence in the case files and at the tent that need to be examined in detail. 1. The cuts from the inside (potentially 3 cuts as stated in the case files). 2. The fact that they left and did not all take sufficient clothing and footwear with them. 3. The fact that they left the tent and campsite all together and headed for the tree line. 4. The fact that when the tent was found, the front if the tent was still standing. There is other supporting evidence also but the above facts may be key to understanding what happened. Using the above facts and applying some simple balance of probability may allow us to home in on the events or type of event that led to this tragedy. I have included some of my own thoughts below. If we look at the various theories, using the above information, and balance of probability we can quickly classify the theories as, very unlikely, unlikely, possible, or likely. 1. Avalanche or snow slide - very unlikely I think we can classify an avalanche or snow slide (even a minor one as very unlikely). The slope is not that significant, and the front of the tent was still standing. I dont believe these experiences hikes would be fooled by a fake or perceived avalanche either. If there had been a small snow slide that covered part of the tent and the hikers had to cut their way out,, then as the front of the tent was still standing and the boots/tools where just inside the front of the tent on the left and right respectively, they should have been able to reach these. They would have known that they were going to an almost certain doom by descending the slope without their gear and so for a small snow slide I cant see why they would not try to retrieve more clothing, shoes and equipment and even try to recover the tent. For these reasons I would say that this theory is very unlikely. 2. The hikers died somewhere else and the scene was staged - very unlikely. There is basically too much circumstantial detail around the various scenes and forensics. E.g Krivo bit his finger so hard that a piece of the skin was found in his mouth. This is totally consistent with the scene at the cedar. Someone who was freezing to death and who needed their hands to survive would understandably be frustrated that their hands were too cold to use. Trying to will your hands to work by biting them seems like something he would do out of desperation. The scratches and abrasions are onsistent with climbing the tree to get fire wood, or escape something. Also, there are pictures of them setting up the tent. Yes, pictures can be forged but it's unlikely. Also, I really dont see why any authority would feel they needed to go to that much trouble when there are easier ways to make people disappear. So I think it is very unlikely that the scene was fabricated. 3. Toxic Chemical or gas - possible Exposure to a toxic agent, could result in a panicked response. The panic may explain why the tent was cut, rather than using the front to exit the tent. Some may have used the exit, some may have tried to cut through the fabric. It would also explain why they did not hang around to collect clothes and equipment and left the camp site to look for a safer place. There is also, the problem with the missing toxicology report from the case files. I dont think this one can be ruled out. There are a number of potential sources for there being toxic gas present in the various theories. 4. Forced out of the tent by other people (murdered) - unlikely The weather was bad and visibility was poor. It was dark and they would have been difficult to find. There is no apparent motive. Nothing was taken from the tent. There were no signs of other persons at any of the scenes. There were 9 hikers so I suspect they may have tried to overpower, even 1 or 2 armed persons rather than face certain death. At least they may have had a slim chance then. I think it is safe to say that this scenario is unlikely. 5. Katabatic wind or extreme whether event - very unlikely The weather was bad but not that bad and the conditions for a katabatic wind are not present. A strong wind or weather event is unlikely to require anyone to cut through the side of the tent. There would have likely been some warning and they could have better prepared themselves, but there is no sign of this. So it's very unlikely. 6. Poisoning/drugs - unlikely The group had already been hiking and camping for several nights. I think that if their food was contaminated or bad, then its unlikely that they would have made it as far as they did without one or more members of the group falling ill. Given how experienced the hikers were they would have known the dangers of experimenting with drugs under these circumstances too, so I dont think they would have all taken a drug of some kind. It's not impossible but it's unlikely. 7. Ball lightning - very unlikely There is simply no logical reason why ball lightning would induce them to cut their tent from the inside, and leave the camp without adequate clothing. It's very unlikely. 8. Internal squabble/in fighting - very unlikely There are signs of a squabble. Minor injuries to knuckles, hands, face, lips etc, but on this night they were also in good humour as the pamphlet indicates. They also worked together as a team and they knew the dangers that fighting could result in. Even if there had been some kind of internal squabble and fight, there would be no reason for them all to leave the safety of the tent and the camp site, and I would expect more of them to have collected, boots, clothing and equipment. The evidence doesn't fit so I think this scenario is very unlikely. 9. Yeti - unlikely/possible The rational part of my brain would lead me to think that this scenario is unlikely. However, there is evidence that fits such circumstances, as described in the Yeti topic/thread, So I am going to stretch and say that the probability may lie between unlikely and possible. I would not expect the group to try to cut the tent to escape such a creature as it would be sensible to try and stay hidden in the tent and hope that it went away. However if such a creature was there and was trying to grab at the hikers through the front of the tent, then some may have panicked and cut the tent to escape, then fled the camp. It might also explain why they didnt grab the axe to use as a weapon as it was near tge entrance to the tent. 10. Infrasound - unlikely/possible It is possible that conditions that night resulted in the generation of infrasound. Infrasound can instill a feeling of dread into people, however from what I have read it doesn't affect everyone, it tends to affect about 25% of people in this negative way. So if it was there then it would only have affected several of the group. Even if these person had panicked (and there is no guarantee that it would panicked those affected) then I still cant see why they would all flee the camp without the essential gear they needed. Clearly Rustem tried to put his boots on, but left before he got the second boot. I would place the probability between unlikely and possible. 11 Aliens - unlikely/possible This is another scenario where the rational part if my brain is screaming at me to rule it out. But, it could explain the scene at the tent and is something that could have caused them to panic and flee. So, I would stretch and say that it is unlikely but possible. 12. Wild Animal - unlikely If there had been a wild animal like a bear or wolves, then it would not make sense to cut the tent and run into the night without your shoes, unless of course the animal was trying to gain access via the front of the tent. Also large bears are hibernating at this time of year. 13. Something nobody has thought of yet? Summary if thoughts Looking at the evidence, it seems that the type of scenario that fits the evidence at the tent, is one where something unusual or unnatural happened, something that instilled significant fear, panic and the flight response. Looking at the evidence at the tent alone, I think the chemical/toxic scenario seems the most probable, and this would likely have been the result of some kind of military test. Infrasound is a possibility, and the injuries could be explained by natural hazards on the mountain. However when you take some of the other evidence into account such as the injuries of the Rav 4 injuries they also fit the pattern of an attack by an extremely powerful creature such as a large ape, or even potentially some extraterrestrial being (who knows). Maybe it should not be so surprising that the theories that are closer to the top if the list are the more unusual, and strange and maybe this is why the DPI mystery is so intriguing?

Avalanche or snow slide - very unlikely I think we can classify an avalanche or snow slide (even a minor one as very unlikely). The slope is not that significant, and the front of the tent was still standing. I dont believe these experiences hikes would be fooled by a fake or perceived avalanche either. If there had been a small snow slide that covered part of the tent and the hikers had to cut their way out,, then as the front of the tent was still standing and the boots/tools where just inside the front of the tent on the left and right respectively, they should have been able to reach these. They would have known that they were going to an almost certain doom by descending the slope without their gear and so for a small snow slide I cant see why they would not try to retrieve more clothing, shoes and equipment and even try to recover the tent. For these reasons I would say that this theory is very unlikely. The primary reason why an avalanche was unlikely is that the footprints remained intact. If there was an avalanche, coming after them, there would have been no footprints. Quote 2. The hikers died somewhere else and the scene was staged - very unlikely. There is basically too much circumstantial detail around the various scenes and forensics. E.g Krivo bit his finger so hard that a piece of the skin was found in his mouth. This is totally consistent with the scene at the cedar. Someone who was freezing to death and who needed their hands to survive would understandably be frustrated that their hands were too cold to use. Trying to will your hands to work by biting them seems like something he would do out of desperation. The scratches and abrasions are onsistent with climbing the tree to get fire wood, or escape something. Also, there are pictures of them setting up the tent. Yes, pictures can be forged but it's unlikely. Also, I really dont see why any authority would feel they needed to go to that much trouble when there are easier ways to make people disappear. So I think it is very unlikely that the scene was fabricated. This is debatable, as several objects are missing (notebooks, cameras), while others appeared with no apparent reason (military grade leg protection that didn't belong to anyone in the group). This tends to indicate that someone was at the scene of the event before the official search produced it's findings. Quote 3. Toxic Chemical or gas - possible Exposure to a toxic agent, could result in a panicked response. The panic may explain why the tent was cut, rather than using the front to exit the tent. Some may have used the exit, some may have tried to cut through the fabric. It would also explain why they did not hang around to collect clothes and equipment and left the camp site to look for a safer place. There is also, the problem with the missing toxicology report from the case files. I dont think this one can be ruled out. There are a number of potential sources for there being toxic gas present in the various theories. I tend to favour this theory as well. Chemical gas would immediately be noticed - dififculties in breathing, blurred vision, etc - and would trigger a flight response. Quote 4. Forced out of the tent by other people (murdered) - unlikely The weather was bad and visibility was poor. It was dark and they would have been difficult to find. There is no apparent motive. Nothing was taken from the tent. There were no signs of other persons at any of the scenes. There were 9 hikers so I suspect they may have tried to overpower, even 1 or 2 armed persons rather than face certain death. At least they may have had a slim chance then. I think it is safe to say that this scenario is unlikely. Motive - trespassing. Method - surrounding the tent with riflemen and forcing everybody out in the cold. Later forcing them to make a fire and a den, so everything might appear "normal" for the authorities. I don't favour this hypotheses either, but I wouldn't rule it out. Quote 5. Katabatic wind or extreme whether event - very unlikely The weather was bad but not that bad and the conditions for a katabatic wind are not present. A strong wind or weather event is unlikely to require anyone to cut through the side of the tent. There would have likely been some warning and they could have better prepared themselves, but there is no sign of this. So it's very unlikely. Mmm, perhaps, but keeping in mind that someone apparently was at the scene before Fev 26th/27th, an extreme weather event shouldn't be ruled out. For instance, if the hurricane thrown one or two skiers on the slope, for several tens or hundreds of meters, the others may have rushed to their aid. Later, after a few days, a first patrol alterted by Mansi people may have reached the tent and searched it, possibly slicing it open to check for documents hidden in the fabric. They would understand that everyone was dead, and take with them some cameras/notebooks (which ones ? why ?). Quote 6. Poisoning/drugs - unlikely The group had already been hiking and camping for several nights. I think that if their food was contaminated or bad, then its unlikely that they would have made it as far as they did without one or more members of the group falling ill. Given how experienced the hikers were they would have known the dangers of experimenting with drugs under these circumstances too, so I dont think they would have all taken a drug of some kind. It's not impossible but it's unlikely. I also consider this theory unlikely. Quote 7. Ball lightning - very unlikely There is simply no logical reason why ball lightning would induce them to cut their tent from the inside, and leave the camp without adequate clothing. It's very unlikely. Mmm, if the ball lightning was directly above the tent, and slowly descending over them, while emitting small electrical discharges, everybody would freak out and exit ASAP. A ball lightning explosion may have caused "Zolotaryov"'s and Lyubidina's injuries. I seem to remember a Romanian event from 1920-22, from a local UFO book called "the monster comes at dusk". It is about two ball lightnings (or something like that), hovering above a small village. At dusk, they both enter a house, through the chimney, and explode inside, producing severe burns and fractures to the inhabitants (two women). Quote 8. Internal squabble/in fighting - very unlikely There are signs of a squabble. Minor injuries to knuckles, hands, face, lips etc, but on this night they were also in good humour as the pamphlet indicates. They also worked together as a team and they knew the dangers that fighting could result in. Even if there had been some kind of internal squabble and fight, there would be no reason for them all to leave the safety of the tent and the camp site, and I would expect more of them to have collected, boots, clothing and equipment. The evidence doesn't fit so I think this scenario is very unlikely. Perhaps, but coupled with infrasound, this may have some truth in it. Quote 9. Yeti - unlikely/possible The rational part of my brain would lead me to think that this scenario is unlikely. However, there is evidence that fits such circumstances, as described in the Yeti topic/thread, So I am going to stretch and say that the probability may lie between unlikely and possible. I would not expect the group to try to cut the tent to escape such a creature as it would be sensible to try and stay hidden in the tent and hope that it went away. However if such a creature was there and was trying to grab at the hikers through the front of the tent, then some may have panicked and cut the tent to escape, then fled the camp. It might also explain why they didnt grab the axe to use as a weapon as it was near tge entrance to the tent. The Menk/Almas/Yeti seems to be very powerfull. I have read about an Indian Yeti killing 30 people (that wanted to catch him) in the XVIIIth century. However, there is no definitive evidence that the Menk exists... Still, at some level I think this is possible. Even using mountain gorillas for some military experiment, this is possible to have happened. Quote 10. Infrasound - unlikely/possible It is possible that conditions that night resulted in the generation of infrasound. Infrasound can instill a feeling of dread into people, however from what I have read it doesn't affect everyone, it tends to affect about 25% of people in this negative way. So if it was there then it would only have affected several of the group. Even if these person had panicked (and there is no guarantee that it would panicked those affected) then I still cant see why they would all flee the camp without the essential gear they needed. Clearly Rustem tried to put his boots on, but left before he got the second boot. I would place the probability between unlikely and possible. What makes this more possible, IMHO, is a military test of infrasound on animals, into which our skiers unknowingly intermingled. Quote 11 Aliens - unlikely/possible This is another scenario where the rational part if my brain is screaming at me to rule it out. But, it could explain the scene at the tent and is something that could have caused them to panic and flee. So, I would stretch and say that it is unlikely but possible. 12.

Also large bears are hibernating at this time of year. 13. Something nobody has thought of yet? I would add 14. Meteor airburst and 15. Fatal accident concerning re-entry event of a part of a R-5 or R-7 rocket.

It is possible that the scene was discovered by others before the search party got there. I wouldn't rule it out, but I still think its unlikely. The main point I was trying to make is that the events actually happened in this place where they were found. I thi k if you had an infrasound weapon Kholat Syakhl would not be a good place or the best time to test such a weapon. There is potential for natural infrasound though. It's possible but I still think unlikely. On the extreme weather event it is difficult to imagine that any of the group would feel the need to cut through the side of the tent. The cuts were made through some of the seams which would have been more difficult to cut, of the tent was damaged by wind, or some of the group were injured by tge wind, it would still make more sense to use tge normal exit. The Yeti theory is kind of perplexing for me, if there was already sufficient evidence on their existence then I would think that this fits this scenario quite well. From the accounts I have seen many witnesses suggest that they are territorial and try to drive people away. It fits well. Alien theories are obviously just as strange, but I think more unlikely than possible. The most rational explanation does seem to be the toxic gas . Possibly from some kind of test. This links back to one of my first thoughts on what happened - low yield neutron weapon and the toxic cloud it could have created, it could also be a chemical weapon test loaded with a radioactive tracer like Sr90. But although toxic gas seems more rational my sub conscious mind, the bit that does all those clever logical summing activities without even thinking about it, and which requires the hard work to prove that it was right is pushing me away from the toxic gas idea. I think if there had been a meteor or small air burst it would have been an amazing site, but I also think that it would not require anyone to cut the tent, or leave the camp site, I would imagine that they would either have seen and felt an interesting fireworks display, or have been killed at the tent.

The above photo is quite interesting. If you look carefully there appears to be a bare foot print on top of what seems to be a boot print. What is interesting though is the rounded shape of the bare foot print and the big toe is behind the other toes. Normally a human big toe is the furthest forward but not for an ape. Would be interested to know what people think?

And no Evidence that Radiation was brought to the site on any clothing. Sure there is.... They were found FOUR MONTHS LATER half submerged in a creek. It does not take a rocket scientist to establish common sense. The autopsy reports clearly state 'missing', no mention of torn flesh, cut flesh..... Nothing. It's called decomposition..... Period. No need for some fantastical cryptozoology or unrealistic conspiracies. Radiation.... Sure there is.

No SIGNS of animal activity at or near the Dead Bodies. No SIGNS of BACTERIA, etc, were reported in the Autopsy. And the Radiation reports leave much to be desired. And this radiation question crops up elsewhere in the Forum. So, just because Vozrojdenniy did not specifically mentioned wild animals and bacteria - the most obvious natural explanation when dealing with dead bodies rotting for months in the wilderness, we can literally cross them out of the story? Well, I guess that really leaves us with only the Yeti to blame. Or the fireballs, piloted by extraterrestrial astronauts, yes? NO. The Autopsies were carried out by people who were aware of the unusual circumstances of this Case. IE A potential CRIME. Therefore it would be logical to assume that they would have mentioned any likely hood of animal or bacterial involvement. YES.

In a criminal investigation surely it would be expected that the bare feet and boot prints are matched to the hikers? There are 8 to 9 sets of tracks reported and 9 hikers. If they found a set of tracks with a foot size that didn't match anyone in the group, or say two people with size 10 shoes and there is only 1 hiker with this foot size its a massive clue.

You say, that because Vozrojdeniy did not specifically mentioned animals and/or bacteria, there is no evidence of them being present, hence we need other explanation for the missing body parts of the decomposing for months in the wilderness bodies... Nice, what is your guess then? I see no contradiction in my words. Ok, you may have rodents in your hotel room, but you can have bacteria everywhere. So it is absurd to eliminate their role in demaging and decomposition of the body, especially in the specific environment of the Pass. Now, the process of decomposition and the cause of death are two separate things. Obviously, no specific relation was stated. They died because of their traumas, and they decay, because that is what happens when we die. That is probably way too obvious for a coroner, so no need to explain how and why they rot. Dont get me wrong, but I think you are missing the point, while trying to exclude all reasonable facts, and looking for a sensational cause. « Last Edit: August 24, 2019, 02:44:48 PM by Morski » Logged "Truth is the most valuable thing we have.

It is also documented that the type of force required to cause the flail chest injuries of Lyudmila and Semyon is the same order as a car crash or a fall from significant height. Have a look at the extract and ask yourself whether you would expect to see additional head injuries, lower and upper extremity injuries and or spinal injuries? Also ask yourself how you think a human might have inflicted those flail chest injuries? This is the extract below. Note SLF means same level fall. Extremity skeletal injuries (ranging from 20% in SLFs [33] to 77% in high falls [9] where hip and upper extremity (UE) injuries predominate in SLFs and other lower extremity (LE) injuries are more common in high falls. Spine injuries are very common (ranging from 13% in mixed falls [9] to 36% in high falls [4,6]. Lumbar spine injuries are completely predominating. Spine injuries are not confined to high falls, but can happen from even below 2 m [6]. Head injuries are more common in children, likely due to them having relatively larger heads, shifting the center of gravity cranially. Jumpers more often land on their feet than fallers and thus injuries to the lower extremities are more common, but the higher the fall, the greater is the chance of landing on the head. 20-45% of falls from 2-10 m resulted in head injury. Several studies have detailed reports on head injuries with ranges of 0.7-5.8% of epidural hematoma, 0.9-6.0% of subdural hematoma, 1.5-7.0% of subarachnoid hematoma and 0.4-3.7% of intracerebral hem Regards Star man Logged August 27, 2019, 05:40:43 AM Reply #209 Loose}{Cannon Global Moderator Loose}{Cannon Global Moderator Posts: 1144 Country: Thanked: 14 times Re: Exploring The Yeti Theory Did they slide head first down an embankment?

Will try and post results here. Regards 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ November 2018 Yep, your suggestion did fix that problem. There is one other one perhaps you might help me with. In the version of Unity that was being used there was an auto-lobby creation check box that could be clicked, whereas with 2017.2.17 this feature has been removed. any tip on how I can do what one used to be able to do in this regard in the latest greatest version of Unity? 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ November 2018 I am getting close, I think, to getting a connection, but still no cigar. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the following line of code: chatClient.Connect(PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.ChatAppID, "anything", new Photon.Chat.AuthenticationValues(plrName.text)); I see my Debug.Log("Trying to connect...") telling me things have got this far, but that's where the script gets stuck and I don't get a connection established. Is there anything obviously wrong with this line of code? 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ November 2018 edited November 2018 Happened on the PUN Chat Demo. Seems that looking under the hood of the ChatGUI.cs file and perhaps other places and imitating what I see is the best way to avoid knocking my head against the wall. I already have a basic quick and dirty low-level API Unity chat system that runs on my CentOS server, but I'd prefer to move to Photon's way of doing business. I just don't want to spend the rest of my life getting there. If anyone has any docs to point me to (besides the basic tips in the Photon Chat Intro doc on the Photon site) please let me know. Saw a couple of YouTube videos (in French, where everything always sounds better), but they dealt with the previous version of the PUN Chat Demo, so not of much use. (The Scripts file is no longer in the latest greatest version of the demo). 0 JohnTube mod November 2018 edited November 2018 Hi @legrandtimonier1951, You are asking different things and what you are asking is not very clear. The Auto-JoinLobby feature is off topic here and was asked elsewhere on the forum and is available on the "Migration Notes": in PUN2 you simply need to manually join a lobby once connected. The Chat thing, maybe you are mixing Photon Chat and the Photon Chat that comes with PUN2. PUN2 includes a new version of Photon Chat, let's call it Photon Chat 2 that is not released elsewhere and maybe the documentation wasn't updated also. If you have two different PhotonChatApi folders in your assets you need to clean up. PUN2 includes Photon Chat already, everything Photon related should be under "Assets\Photon" only. Maybe you've missed it but the ChatDemo is not under "PhotonUnityNetworking/Demos" but under "PhotonChat/Demos". I don't get a connection established Did you implement the OnConnected callback from IChatClientListener? 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ November 2018 Pardon me for not being clear here. No, I have a clean version of "PUN Chat 2" on my computer imported from PUN 2 (Free version). I saw the warning in the Free PUN Chat asset so I didn't download it. So my setup is clean, but I was watching a video where I noticed a guy clicking on an "Auto-connect to Lobby" button that I don't have in my version of Photon. It was in this same video that I saw the reference to "...Chat..." in the code line: this.chatClient.Connect (PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.ChatAppID, "anything", new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Chat.AuthenticationValues(plrName.text)); At that point I tried your code rewrite suggestion, which worked in that line, but later in the same program I discovered other things that didn't compile. So I dropped that series of videos and fired up "PUN Chat 2" in the Demo Hub of PUN 2 - Free Version and started looking long and hard at the code of ChatGUI. I also checked out a long French video that used what you might call the old "PUN Chat 1" that has a Scripts file that can be copied and tweaked to adapt to a particular user's needs. But since PUN Chat 2 doesn't have this file I have decided go back to the series of videos with the code you were kind enough to suggest a fix for and re-follow the steps of that working Photon PUN chat system (at least in the version the guy in the video's build) to see if I can tweak/rewrite any of his now deprecated code lines to make them work with Photon PUN 2. 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ December 2018 edited December 2018 Emerging from the engine room, so to speak, I have a problem with the message I keep getting when trying to run the first part of my chat.cs program attached to the Main camera, as per the video I've been following. A Debug.Log message in my script keeps telling me "No Chat ID provided" even though I went to the dashboard and copied my App ID Chat from Photon and stuck it in the right field in the PhotoServerSettings. At least I think I did. I also put the App ID Realtime in its field as I assume I must, otherwise I get a message telling me to run the Wizard. Anyone have an idea what might be going wrong here? Here is the part of my code that fails to get me connected: void Start () { Application.runInBackground = true; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.ChatAppID)) { print("No Chat ID provided."); return; } 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ December 2018 Just happened on the PUN 2.5 reference manual, which I'd been looking for for a few days. I see now that it's useless trying to get this to work without RTFM. 0 legrandtimonier1951 ✭ December 2018 edited December 2018 Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this code: void Start () { Application.runInBackground = true; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.appId)) { print("No Chat ID provided."); return; } connectionState.text = "Connecting..."; worldChat = "world"; getConnected(); } // Update is called once per frame void Update () { this.chatClient.Service(); } void getConnected() { print("Trying to connect..."); this.chatClient = new ChatClient(this); this.chatClient.Connect (PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.appId, "anything", new Photon.Chat.AuthenticationValues (plrName.text)); connectionState.text = "Connecting to chat."; } I RTFM-ed, the relevant parts of the PUN 2.5 reference, found that appId was what I should use instead of what I was using, but still no joy. I got the Chat App ID aftter creating a chat application in the Chat section of Dashboard and put it in the right field of PhotonServerSettings.

I don't expect much from zombie movies to begin with, but this one is a keeper! The story actually broke the overdone zombie flick mold. I actually enjoyed the story and wanted to see and hear what the actors were saying and doing, instead of just cheering for the zombies like I would in many zombie movies. So, the film kept me interested and kept me entertained. There were quite a few overly dramatic, action scenes with Abraham Lincoln and they were funny and over the top.I don't <more> want to spoil anything, so I won't go into details, but there are quite a few "cheesy" historical references. It actually helps to have at least a little bit of a clue about American History to get some of the humor.The movie actually worked out quite nicely. Funny and entertaining.This is a movie I will add to my collection of Blu Ray <less> Best movie i have ever watched (by magicalak) I think that this movie was excellent. It was an action packed thriller that always kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next. The makeup was wonderful, the fighting was amazing, the dialogue was filled with ingenious one liners EMANCIPATE THIS was one example of such a one liner , and the special effects were wondrous. I recommend this movie to every one i know. I think that the movie was throughout a very scary horror movie. I also felt very attached to the characters especially Lincoln. I thought that Lincoln was a very handsome actor and played the part very well. I also <more> thought that the women in this movie played the parts of the damsel in distress very well. Overall i give this movie a 10/10 for just being the best movie ever, would bang again. <less> Uncompromisingly Powerful Alternate History and Superb Horror Film (by dianerpessler-46164) Director Richard Schenkman, working from his own original script, brings to the screen a unique alternate history of the Civil War and the role of the Great Emancipator in the Union victory. The amazing concept of Abraham Lincoln having to engage in battle with the walking dead in order to, not only preserve the Union, but to purge the Confederacy of evil, is astounding on its face. However, this film is so well conceived and beautifully realized with outstanding production values that the audience is quickly caught up in this dark struggle between Lincoln and the zombies. Bill Oberst, Jr. <more> gives a superb performance as Lincoln and it is much more than a caricature. Oberst's Lincoln is a tortured soul looking unblinkingly into the eyes of evil incarnate and it's an amazing portrayal. Debra Crittenden is simply excellent and deeply moving as the troubled Mary Todd Lincoln, loyal wife but unstable ally to the president. At times horrific, with unforgettable imagery and stunning action sequences, this is a film that will please genre fans and historical scholars alike. <less> Excellent for the Faint-of-Heart Zombie Fans (by cweinstein-95) Useful for the zombie lovers of all ages. I took my seven year old sister and she adored the actors in the familiar Savannah area where we live! Definitely good for the faint of heart zombie fans! There are some things to be noted: 1 Directors did a good job in keeping this focused not on the gore, but on some history as well such as Lincoln, Booth, etc. 2 Make-up is extraordinary on the zombies, such as the blood 3 FINALLY a movie with no cussing I enjoyed the film, so will the other viewers who are crazy for history and historic people/places!ONE MORE NOTE: Did I mention this takes place <more> at Fort Pulaski National Monument??? <less> Highly enjoyable and effective zombie effort (by kannibalcorpsegrinder) Leading the Union in battle, President Lincoln discovers the return of a deadly disease that revives the dead has afflicted a small community vital to his efforts and leads the charge to cut them down and win the Civil War.On the whole this one was a highly enjoyable and exciting effort with a lot to like about it. One of the best aspects to this one is the fact that there's a lot more historical importance placed here than would otherwise seem weird or forgotten in such a situation that gets placed throughout this to make for an entertaining time. This in turn leads to a ton of action <more> throughout here that tends to come off rather nicely with the opening barn attack and the exciting shootout to overtake the fortress being quite enjoyable at not only being fun scenes but also managing to feature enough historical appeal to come off better than expected. Still, the biggest aspect here is the zombie encounters as there's a rather fun voyage into town that manages to feature some blazing shootouts and some thrilling suspense with the ever-growing hordes slowly approaching the group and forcing some old-school defensive tactics to keep themselves from being attacked. There's also the impressive finale as their plan to take out the swarm in town comes with plenty of exciting scenes of zombie carnage as well as body dismemberment that includes far more gore than expected which helps to make this one all the more enjoyable by mixing together all the different influences and sources quite nicely. Likewise, there's the over-the-top finale which manages to feature some exciting action, plenty of gore and rather thrilling moments in the race to get out of the fortress before it blows up which all make for a great time throughout here as well as the fun times with the zombies. Not only is there a coherent and logical motive for the introduction to the word into the film by tying it to the African folklore brought up by the black slave which makes the most sense but also they're treatment here features the rather novel idea of using sound as their prime motivator and allowing the squad to easily maneuver around them if they don't make too much noise which is rather nice that ties into the viral condition of their origins, and when placed alongside the fine make-up effects come off rather nicely overall. These here more than make-up for the film's lone problem which is the utterly inane amount of re-writing it does to try to make the action historically accurate. The actions of the Confederate spy are the biggest which makes no sense, and attempting to place the actions of the real-life figures to their true fates comes off rather lamely. Aside from some shoddy CGI, that's about all this one has going against it.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language. <less> Okay,Bill Oberst,Jr. Just is Perfection in the Stove Pipe Hat ! (by guestar57) Written & Directed by: Richard Schenkman Fantastic movie from Theasylum, Really one of the best that studio has ever done and seems with Oberst & Schenkman had two genius at their craft allowed to fulfill the novel promise.Filmed in Savannah,Georgia probably with a lot of Civil War re-en-actors as extras and supporting,It very pretty on location and rings authentic in accents and carriage.Bill Oberst,Jr. was felt to be a good actor when we interviewed him elsewhere and now after A L vs Z,Wow…He is even cooler of a a cat.There is a lot of thrown in historical characters,Given a lot to <more> do in their scenes-Stonewall Jackson ,John Wilkes-Booth, Teddy Roosevelt and was Pat Garret hinted at ??? Great screenplay,Awesome cast and timing again is perfect ! <less> Not expecting Oscar material given the title, but really fun movie (by ProfessorSmashmouth) I rented this to watch with my son. Direct to video, fun premise, that our nation's best president had to battle zombies. Naturally, you aren't expecting anything profoundly serious. Reading some of these reviews you wonder what are people truly expecting. We found it fun to watch, decent action, funny premise, acting was fine, special effects were fine. Obviously not a big budget movie, but it did not look too low budget. Actually worth a watch if you can watch it with a kid and have fun with it. It was a good time watching it with my 11 year old son and a good memory as we are both <more> history buffs but now sometimes talk about how Lincoln not only saved the union and freed the slaves but also slayed vampires and zombies.

After parenting for almost 9 years, we have experienced the feeling of complete exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout and have worked for many years to find the right balance in our family. It is certainly always an ongoing process as parenting is always changing and evolving as our children grow, but I loved Barahona’s tips on how to simplify and prioritize what’s important. I love that at the start the book she recognized that there is no perfect way to juggle it all, and it made the rest of the book feel more approachable because I knew she was coming from a place of relatability. Pulling out of the race of parenting and doing what is important for your own family is such simple yet important advice. If you set your goals and expectations of parenting by the world around you, you will never find contentment or peace in your own parenting journey. We are all allowed to follow different paths, but being true to ourselves and our own desires as a family allows us to pull out of the parenting competition and prioritize what is important to our own families. “Instead of chasing the impossible, choose to live simply and love immensely.” But how do you do this, one might wonder… It sounds easy but if you have parenting for any length of time, you know it just isn’t. Barahona shares her Simple Manifesto: 1. Fear Less 2. Hurry Less 3. Entertain Less 4. Referee Less 5. Buy Less After sharing this manifesto, she walks you through how to accomplish these goals. I especially enjoyed the sections on entertaining less(and letting your kids be bored) and refereeing less. Both of these concepts and shifts help everyone in our family lives happier and more successful lives but often seem really hard to remember when we are in the thick of daily life. Her practical advice was relatable and things that we could easily implement into our family foundation. The photos and illustrations were a nice addition to this text. I don’t think the photos were totally necessary, but it did help make this book feel more personal and helped connect me as a reader with this author. If you are looking for tips on how to simplify your life as a family, I definitely recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley and White Lion Publishing for an advanced copy of this book. Coffee Talk | Currently Loving…| Book Mail, Listening at Work, Book Besties & Thoughts on Natural Deodorant | May 30, 2019 June 22, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ Leave a comment Checking-in: Hello! How is your week going? I can’t believe it is Thursday already! Holiday weeks always throw me off and they also tend to be more hectic with 5 days of work fitting into 4 days. This is my busy work season now that it is nice out (Vermont photography season is in full swing) and I am trying to fit in as much as possible before school gets out in mid-June when our childcare will be pretty limited. Currently listening to… With the increase in photo editing, it means I have officially entered “audiobook” season! I am lucky to have a job that is in the creative field, which enables to listen to things while I edit photos. For weddings, I tend to choose audio books since they often are about the same amount of time it takes to edit a whole wedding…and regular sessions I tend to listen to a podcast episode or two. I haven’t made it that far yet but I am just loving The Moment of Lift by Melinda Gates. It is so powerful and she is a wonderful orator. The news had been hard lately and as important as I think it is to know what is going on around us, I also love something that motivates to be more proactive and supportive of others in our own daily lives. I know I mentioned the docu-drama Chernobyl last week, but this week I learned that there is also a podcast that goes along with of the episodes. I talk about this more on my IG stories earlier today but it is amazing to hear the thoughts behind the making of the series and the choices that went into doing a show about this real event that affected thousands and thousands of people. If you haven’t checked it out I highly recommend it! Currently loving… Book Mail! There is NOTHING better than book mail! This week I was excited to receive packages from Berkley Publishing and St. Martin’s Press. Kristan Higgins is one of my favorite summer authors and Life and Other Inconveniences was just amazing! I have included it on my summer reading lists and think it would be a great one to toss in your beach bag. Higgin’s writing is funny and relatable but her characters are also relatable and multidimensional. Have you read any of her books before? Friends who read together stay together: Speaking of Kristan Higgins, I happened to show up to work on Tuesday with the same book as Kristy and we were wearing the same color sweatshirt. We obviously had to take a selfie to document this. In addition to being my co-worker, Kristy is also my wonderful friend and reading buddy. We love discussing our current books at lunchtime but we normally aren’t reading the same one at the same time because we share most of our hard copy books…so this was really exciting! Do you have friends that you share books with? It’s the best! If You Only Knew came highly recommended from my Bookstagram friends and Kristy already finished it and I am almost done and am loving it. It’s the perfect book for this more hectic time of year. <3 Back to book mail & a Diane Chamberlain update!! St. Martin’s Press was kind enough to send me the paperback release of Dream Daughter which is being published next week on 6/4! If you haven’t read this yet, this will be the perfect summer book to add to your reading list. Dream Daughter was in my top 10 books of 2018 and it might be my favorites Diane book ever and I have read A LOT of them. I will have to do a whole post about my favorite Diane Chamberlain books but she rarely lets me down and her books are always unique and super engrossing, while also being total page-turners. I have read a lot of them while on vacation and they are the perfect books to just get lost in. AND the most amazing exciting news of all, they announced that Diane will have another novel published in early 2020 (January 24th to be exact!) Big Lies In A Small Town! Currently using… Lavanila deodorant in Vanilla Coconut While I would like to say that I have parted ways with antiperspirant deodorant, I have tried and I just can’t do it. I think it has come from a lifetime of having that feeling of “dry” armpits but I just can’t get used to that “sweaty feeling”, especially while I work out. I am all about compromise, so I have decided to use my “regular” Tom of Maine antiperspirant in the mornings and then putting on a more “natural” one, specifically Lavanila, when I get dressed for the day after class. I don’t like to recommend things until I have really given them a fair shot but this stuff is pretty amazing! I have very sensitive skin and in addition to not cutting the sweat(deodorant just masks the smell of sweat but it doesn’t stop it like antiperspirant), it would make my underarms break out in a painful rash. A lot of “natural” deodorants have baking soda in them which I think was the culprit. Lavanila is super gentle, smells amazing and really keeps you smelling quite fresh! And it lasts a long time. I first ordered it last May and each stick lasts 3+ months for me of daily use. Have you made the deodorant switch?! Or are you meeting in the middle like me? 😉 Alright, that is all for this morning! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Thursday. <3 Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links. This means if you click through and make a purchase, it helps support this blog.

To Have and To Hold by Molly Millwood, Ph.D. | HarperCollins | Book Review May 27, 2019 November 21, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ Leave a comment To Have and To Hold by Molly Millwood, Ph.D. Book Summary: “A clinical therapist’s exploration of the complexities of early motherhood, including its impact on a marriage, in a book that offers comfort, camaraderie, and practical guidance to new mothers. When Molly Millwood became a mother, she was fully prepared for all that she would gain: an adorable baby boy, hard-won mothering skills, and a messy, chaotic, love-filled home. But she didn’t anticipate what she would lose: an identity, a baseline level of happiness, a general sense of wellbeing. And just when she was feeling her most vulnerable, her happy marriage-long a bedrock of stability and comfort-seemed to shift in unexpected ways too, tinged by anger and resentment. As a clinical psychologist, Molly knew her experience was a normal response to a life-changing event-she was not broken, and neither was her marriage. But without the benefit of such a perspective, many of women she saw in treatment grappled with shame, self-doubt, and fear-all the while struggling to confide in, trust, or seek comfort in their partners. In To Have and To Hold, Molly illuminates the ways in which motherhood impacts a woman emotionally, psychologically, physically, and professionally-as well as how it impacts the stability and harmony of her relationship. Along with the arrival of a bundle of joy comes thorny issues such as identity, control, autonomy, and dependency. And these issues are, most often, experienced within the context of an intimate relationship, adding another layer of complication, conflict, and confusion to an already challenging time. As Molly examines the inextricable link between women’s wellbeing as new mothers and the wellbeing of their relationships, she offers information and guidance to help readers reclaim their identities and repair their relationships. A blend of personal narrative, rigorous research, and stories from Molly’s clinical practice, To Have and To Hold provides a lifeline to new mothers everywhere.” Publication Date: March 26th, 2019 Genre: Motherhood/Parenting My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Review: Motherhood is the hardest AND most wonderful thing I have ever done. While I am lucky to have had many conversations with the people in my personal life, never have I read something that explains the complexities of motherhood and marriage in such a profound manner until I read this book. The highs and lows of parenthood, the immense love and also the intense quest to reclaim ourselves as women and partners when our lives will never be the same are so real and valid. To Have and to Hold spoke to me on so many levels. Millwood’s ability to write with both her voice as a professional and her voice as a mother was a perfect balance. It is relatable and real and I can’t stop thinking about it which is the sign of a 5-star book for me. ⁣If you haven’t already checked this one out I highly recommend and she was absolutely wonderful on audio. A Day in the Life | Gen The Bookworm | May 2019 May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ 1 Comment A Day in the Life | May 2019 So much laundry: I am going to try and do “day in the life” post every couple of months because I always find it so fascinating how so many things change and how some things are exactly the same(like folding and putting away ALL the laundry!) I last did a “Day in the Life” post back in March and you can see that blog post HERE. I have always been so interested in seeing “regular life” much more than special events or photoshoots when I follow along with a blog. There is something so fascinating about seeing the day to day minutiae and how people complete their daily work, life, and family tasks. So if you like that too, you are in luck! The following is a look at a regular weekday at our house….like most everything else on here it really is about what I am up to but a lot of that involves the kids too. Early Riser: I have always been an early riser. When I was a kid I would wake up early and watch Flipper…does anyone else remember that show? It was the best! I have never needed an alarm to wake up because my internal alarm is pretty strong! I usually wake up around 5am so that I have an hour before everyone else is up too. I use this time to savor my multiple mugs of coffee, catch up on work and emails and also create some the content for my bookstagram and this blog. I am a very routine oriented person so this really doesn’t vary much…I usually run the Roomba in the evenings and I put the chairs up on the counters so that it can clean up all the crumbs that are never ending around here with the kids. We set the coffee maker alarm fo to make 10 cups of coffee and Lucas and I split it in the mornings. I drink my coffee unsweetened but I always use half & half…milk just doesn’t cut it for me. Buzz comes down to go outside at this time and then comes back in and goes back to sleep with Parker. He is not an early bird! Morning Routines: I also use this time to catch up with my other early riser friends…Kristy is one of them! Lucas leaves before 6 so this is also the time we check in quickly before we both start our days. At 6 I go upstairs to shower and I find Parker reading in his bed. We recently made a deal (which included pokemon cards bribery)that they need to stay in their rooms until 6:30am. We were having way too much early morning sibling drama and me trying to referee from the shower and so this is a win for all of us! While I get ready I listen to my audiobook and then have my breakfast of a perfect bar, green tea and my Care Of Vitamins. Both boys come down at 6:30am and they have their breakfasts and get ready for the day. Buzz and those dang squirrels: Buzz comes downstairs and places himself on his couch perch which is the perfect place to oversee the morning chaos. He is also a very routined guy. While I pack the kids snacks (they have lunch from school) the squirrels have their morning meal at the bird feeders…they are quite the acrobats. Also, does anyone else recognize this blue ice pack? It came with my Medela breast pump that I got when Parker was a newborn, and it is probably one of my most used baby items ever, ha! We leave for school around 7:20 if everything is running smoothly and this particular morning was super sunny and beautiful! We have had a very un-spring-like May this year so any sunshine is much appreciated around here. School drop off, Pure Barre & more: After school drop off I head to Pure Barre. Although my schedule ebbs and flows depending on the time of year, I try to go to barre 4-5 times a week…for both my physical AND mental health. It is one hour that sets the rest of my day off to the best start. I started going to Pure Barre in 2015 and I haven’t looked back since! I probably talk about it too much but it really was life-changing. I had a bad back and head injury in high school and my almost life long back pain is almost non-existent since I upped my core strength through barre…and let’s be honest, 50% of why I go is to see my barre friends! They are THE best. After barre, I get an iced latte. It is a bad addiction that also brings me so much happiness…it really is the little things. Between coffee and tea, I drink a fair amount of caffeine that my body is so used to it now…which I am not sure is a good thing or not! After this, I head to Kristy’s. I am not working with her on this particular day but I had to pick up some books and I always love to see her! I also consider her house my South Burlington home, and I even have my own drawer in her bathroom. I get panicky about not washing my face right after I work out so I appreciate this very much! She is a very accommodating friend and co-worker. 😉 Books reviews & newspaper column: I chat with Kristy a bit and admire her beautiful gardens and blooming trees…we have lived at our house for 4 years and we still haven’t done any landscaping so potted plants are the extent of my gardening. When I get home Buzz wakes up from his morning snooze to greet me. I get to work on finished a book review and then start working on my Charlotte News column. Next week I will be sharing my summer reading recommendations. Multi-tasking & distractions: While I appreciate having the flexibility to do some of both my photography and blog work at home, I have a very hard time not getting distracted. I am a terrible multitasker and so I appreciate that I do most of my work at our office at Kristy’s because I don’t get sidetracked by other things like I do at home! While I am working I have a bowl of Chex with a little maple syrup and milk for lunch and then I take Buzz for a midday bike ride/walk to check the mail. Dog play date, wedding editing and visiting the library: When we arrived home we were happy to see that our neighbor Mason Jar brought himself over for a dog playdate…the benefits of small town country life! I did a little wedding editing work for my amazingly talented friend Jenna and then it was time to go get the kids from school. My work is often pretty chopped up and means I do a lot of it during more “untraditional” work hours but I do appreciate the flexibility it gives me with the kid’s schedule. After school, the kids played on the playground for a bit while I caught up with my friend Elisa. After we headed to the library so I could check with Susanna the librarian about our upcoming Libby on the Porch event next week! Flynn was also excited to model our library bag which we use every week with our library book hauls. We were getting ready to go home and get ready for baseball when we got the email that Parker’s baseball practice was canceled due to the impending weather. While we usually play in all kinds of undesirable weather here in Vermont, it was about to really pour so we were all a bit relieved. Rainy evening means canceled plans & ice cream: The kids were excited to have some unexpected evening downtime and I had to switch around our dinner plans because we were planning on eating at the snack shack during Parker’s baseball…you can’t go wrong with a $3 cheeseburger! 😉 Lucas made dinner which was a mix of some random things (thanks Costco!) and then we decided to stop by Cookie Love which now has their summer evening hours. I had a coffee creemee with cookie crumble and it was amazing! Laundry & Pokemon cards: And it wouldn’t be a “day in the life” post without talking about laundry. We do at least one load of laundry a day which means the folding and putting away of clothing adds up quickly if we don’t do a little each night. We usually go upstairs around 7:15 and the boys shower and get ready for bed before having a little wind-down time, either reading, drawing or playing a game…recently it has been Pokemon of course. So we took advantage of this and did a bunch of laundry folding and then both ended up reading on our Kindles. While the boys turn their lights off around 8(on an ideal night), Parker reads with his book light until 8:45ish and Flynn usually takes a while to fall asleep and likes having lots of extra kisses and check-ins before it happens. They also have been staying up a lot later because of baseball games so our bedtime routine is a little off and probably won’t improve much until fall when things slow down a bit again. I can’t believe that in a few years they will be staying up way later than us, but it really isn’t that far away! So that was a day in my life! I hope you enjoyed this little snippet of randomness. Do you like reading “day in a life” posts? I would love to hear! <3 The Flatshare by Beth 0’Leary | Flatiron Books | Book Review May 23, 2019 June 12, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ 2 Comments The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary Book Summary: “Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met. After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art. Desperation makes her open-minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He’ll only ever be there when she’s at the office. In fact, they’ll never even have to meet. Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes – first about what day is garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs, and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends. And then maybe more. But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible idea…especially if you’ve never met.” Publication Date: May 28th, 2019 Genre: Contemporary Fiction My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Review: The Flatshare is the debut novel by Beth O’Leary and came highly recommended from some of my book reviewing friends. I was excited to check it out as I was looking for something that was both light-hearted and engaging. The flatshare fit the bill and I was pleasantly surprised how well it balanced being a “romantic comedy” while also having enough depth. I was pleased to see that the author was able to incorporate some tougher issues in such a meaningful and powerful manner…this included both abusive relationships and prioritizing mental health. This book made me laugh and also get teary-eyed which was a great balance as a reader. The Flatshare is told in a dual point of view, alternating between each chapter. I found the characters endearing and I enjoyed that the relationship grew slowly over time. This felt more realistic and allowed the relationship to come together in a more natural way than a lot of books seem to do in this kind of “accidental love story” situation. I loved the friendships in the Flatshare and this eccentric book is definitely one I would recommend adding to your summer reading list! I look forward to reading more of Beth O’Leary’s writing in the future. Thank you to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

May 5, 2019 May 6, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ Leave a comment Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader DEAL! If you have been waiting to purchase a Kindle Paperwhite, today is the day! I bought mine when it was a special deal ($40 off!) and I haven’t seen it on sale in a while. I have the smaller storage size and it works great for my needs ( you just need wifi to download a book so you don’t need to store them all on there). I have the Paperwhite that doesn’t have special offers (ads) on the screen saver but I don’t think it is a huge deal either way! Kindle Paperwhite Case: I use the Fintie hard shell cases and I love them! I have the last generation Paperwhite model and it is still going strong but this new edition is waterproof which is pretty amazing. I have only heard great things but from friends who have upgraded. Are you a Kindle reader? What is your favorite part? Libby App: The best part of the Kindle for me is being able to read FREE books through the Libby App. I am planning on doing a full post about Libby next week but if you are wanting to learn more now you can click HERE for an overview.

April 2019 | Book Recap & Star Ratings May 1, 2019 May 1, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ Leave a comment April 2019 Book Recap & Ratings Month in review & factors in determining a star rating: Hello! How was your month of reading? April was a mix of some 4 & 5-star favorites and some 3-star books that were just okay. Last week when I was answering some reader questions on Instagram Stories, my friend Emily asked me what factors go into my star ratings for a book. I thought this was a fantastic question and now that I have been a part of the Bookstagram community for a while now, I have seen that people’s answers for this can vary so much! Here is how I decide what to rate a book I have read… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣ 5 stars mean I loved the book so much that I couldn’t stop thinking about it long after I had finished! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫⁣ 4.5 stars mean I enjoyed it a lot. <3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣ 4 stars mean I highly recommend it and there was maybe a thing or two that gave me pause but all in all I enjoyed it very much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars mean it was a solid read with a few things that didn’t work for me as a reader. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars mean it was just okay. ⭐️⭐️ 2 stars mean that the book was not for me and I would not recommend it. These are tough ratings for me to give because I really try to be thoughtful about the positives aspects when reviewing a book but sometimes a book just isn’t the right fit. Whenever I write a more “negative” review, I do try to share both the highs and the lows and I also recognize that our own perspectives and even mood can change our reactions to books. ⭐️ I have never rated a book with just 1 star. As a reader, I do think there is something you can get out of everything you read and so I avoid this rating just because I don’t think it allows for a lot of conversation. How do you rate books? I would love to hear! My April Book Ratings: Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can see my full review HERE. Whisper Network by Chandler Baker ⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can see my full review HERE. Life and Other Inconveniences by Kristan Higgins ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 *Full review coming soon. Trophy Life by Lea Gellar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can see my full review HERE. To have and To Hold by Molly Millwood Ph.D. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *Full review coming soon. Miracle Creek by Angie Kim ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 You can see my full review HERE. I Miss You When I Blink by Mary Laura Philpott ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can see my full review HERE. Things My Son Needs To Know About The World by Frederik Bachman ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 *Full review coming soon. The Summer Guests by Mary Alice Monroe ⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can see my full review HERE. The First Mistake by Sandie Jone ⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can see my full review HERE. April in Review: April was a pretty great reading month. While I did read some books that were just so-so, I also read so many wonderful ones! Life and Other Conveniences was such a great and enjoyable read and To Have and To Hold will definitely make my top 10 of the year. Trophy Wife was also one of my book highlights because it was light but also engaging and it had the perfect amount of humor and relatability that didn’t make it fall into the “fluff” category for me. It would make a great beach read! Did you have any favorites last month? Coffee Talk | Currently Loving… | Travel Edition April 25, 2019 April 26, 2019 ~ Genevieve ~ 2 Comments Checking in: Hello from sunny Florida! we are away this week visiting family on the gulf coast. After a long Vermont winter and a busy work season for Lucas, it feels great to have a week together as a family. We have been spending a lot of time finding shark teeth at the beach, eating delicious food and swimming in the pool. Coffee Talk, Vacation Edition! This week I thought it would be fun to share some things we are loving while on vacation… White Noise Machine: At home, we sleep with sound machines, something we started when our kids were babies and we have really grown used to ourselves over the years. When we travel we love using the White Noise Ambience app on our phone. We downloaded it when we were traveling when our first son was a toddler and we have used it ever since! We really love the “white noise” selections that provide a constant soothing sound. We have grown to used to sleeping with a sound machine now and this provides great noise canceling from any nearby sounds…especially helpful at a hotel or resort and just makes it so much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. There are so many sounds you can choose from, but these are our favorites… UV Protection Sunshirt: I love the sun but I don’t love being in it. I am very careful about sun exposure due to having very pale skin but I don’t like when it stops me from wanting to do things where you can hide under an umbrella. I finally decided a sunshirt was the way to go and now I will never go back! I found this UV sun protection shirt and it is perfect! It is great coverage, not too loose and not too tight and has kept me totally sunburn free the last two days in the Florida sun. I am a size 8/10 and I got a size large for reference. We are in the Venice area so we have been on the hunt for fossilized shark teeth at the beach, and so this means we have been in the water most of the day. Between this shirt and a great sun hat….I feel super covered while also still being able to have fun in the sun! And look at all our treasures! Scout Packin’ Heat Makeup Bag: I have a serious addiction with Scout bags. I have one for my work bag, one for a weekend away and the bag I use every day, my makeup bag! Like all things Scout, this thing is rugged and wipes clean which is a major plus with any bag but especially with a makeup bag. I love that it has the side pocket which is great for makeup brushes and it is a perfect size to carry everything I need. My Kindle! I couldn’t write this post without talking about my beloved Kindle Paperwhite! I am going to write a much more detailed post soon about all things Kindle, but for now, I thought I would share why I love it so much for vacation. I used to bring ALL THE BOOKS on vacation. I like reading new releases which often means I have hardcover books either from the library or from the bookstore. On our honeymoon, I brought 9 hardcover books, and I read them all…but oh man, that was a lot of extra weight! Kindles are life-changing for this! I brought hundreds of books to choose from (hello Libby app!) on our current trip, but they only weigh less than half a pound. 😉 Alright, that’s all for today! I will be back soon with more vacation updates and my regular book chatter. <3 Posts navigation Older posts Newer posts Instagram Goodreads Email Pinterest Facebook I’m Genevieve and I am an avid reader, photographer, wife, and mom.

From innocuous "advice" to shameful comments about parenting or the way you look/sound/exist, to "I liked following you until you posted about..." -the possibilities truly are endless. 😰⁣ ⁣ If we have learned anything during the first decade of social media, it's that it is much easier to share something from behind a screen. That sometimes someone's bad day can end up in your DM box or comments. 💬⁣ ⁣ BUT, we have also learned that the internet can connect us and bring us together. Behind the glossy images, are people, who have struggles and triumphs in their own daily lives. 💗⁣ ⁣ Yes, there are pages on here that can make us feel less than, but also SO many that can make you say "me too" and feel just a little bit less alone. ⁣ ⁣ Although I do write pretty spur of the moment on here, I have some "criteria and boundaries I try to abide by…⁣ ⁣ ✨I want this space to be welcoming to all. ⁣ ⁣ ✨Different voices and perspectives are great, hate is not. ⁣ ⁣ ✨I will hold myself accountable to what I share and promote (and vice versa)⁣ ⁣ ✨I would rather share, even if it isn't "perfect" than not share at all. ⁣ ⁣ ✨That life is beautiful and messy and sometimes really hard, and there is room for it all...⁣ ⁣ What I appreciate about being a decade into this whole social media thing is that we have a lot more perspective now.

How was your weekend? It's been a few days since I have posted, and while the break was unintentional, it was nice to take a long weekend off social media, but I am also excited to be back!

Have you decorated for the holidays yet?🎄⁣ ⁣ I also started #GreenwichPark by Katherine Faulkner! I was in the mood for another twisty #domesticthriller and I am loving it already.

Oh yeah, competant US Governance." Latest revision as of 16:42, 30 May 2013 George W. Bush holding hands with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, the country which produced the majority of the 9/11 terrorists. On that day, Saudi citizens were quietly flown out of the country while American citizens were prohibited from flying. Bush then rallied support for a retaliatory war against a country which had had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks.

Bush or members of his administration. See also: Bush II lies The List Being Tough on Terrorism 2007-10-09 Leak Severed a Link to Al-Qaeda's Secrets by Joby Warrick, Washington Post Leak severs link to al-Qaeda’s secrets "Firm says Bush administration’s handling of video ruined its spying efforts": was apparently a limited-time reprint of WaPo article A small private intelligence company that monitors Islamic terrorist groups obtained a new Osama bin Laden video ahead of its official release last month, and around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, it notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition. It gave two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release. Within 20 minutes, a range of intelligence agencies had begun downloading it from the company's Web site. By midafternoon that day, the video and a transcript of its audio track had been leaked from within the Bush administration to cable television news and broadcast worldwide. The founder of the company, the SITE Intelligence Group, says this premature disclosure tipped al-Qaeda to a security breach and destroyed a years-long surveillance operation that the company has used to intercept and pass along secret messages, videos and advance warnings of suicide bombings from the terrorist group's communications network. Will heads roll over this one? They haven't in the past. As far as we can tell from the available information (which Bushco actively works to minimize), Bush has done absolutely nothing about the mind-blowing waste being perpetrated in Iraq -- in the name of fighting terrorism, but somehow getting lost along the way: "cost-plus" contracts where companies make money for spending money, whether or not anything gets done, and whether or not the work done is almost literally a piece of crap? Contracting company Parsons was paid $72 million (with US taxpayer money) by the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq to design and build the Baghdad Police College, a facility that's supposed to house and train at least 4,000 police recruits. They deliver "a practically useless pile of rubble so badly constructed that its walls and ceilings are literally caked in shit and piss, a result of subpar plumbing in the upper floors." Parsons was also given nearly $1 million to build a fire station in Ainkawa, a small Christian community in one of the safest parts of Iraq. Parsons contracted out the work through multiple layers of companies; a year and a half later, government ­auditors visited the site and found that the fire station was less than half finished. What little had been built was marred by serious design and materials flaws. The multiple layers of subcontractors made it almost impossible to resolve the issue -- and every delay meant more money for the companies involved, due to the cost-plus arrangements. Contracting company KBR ran convoys of empty trucks back and forth across the insurgent-laden desert, pointlessly risking the lives of soldiers and drivers so the company could charge the taxpayer for its phantom deliveries. [1] Bechtel was given $50 million to build the Basra Children's Hospital, a project championed by Laura Bush and Condi Rice. A year later, with the price tag soaring to $169 million, the company was pulled off the project without a single bed being ready for use. The work was done under a "term contract", however, which meant that the money was paid whether or not the work was done; the Bush administration was apparently content with this state of affairs, as no known action has been taken either against Bechtel or towards preventing any more "term contracts" from being awarded. "no-bid" contracts awarded on an "emergency" basis -- for a term of five years? [2] a stack of one billion dollars cash left by the side of the road in Iraq and never found (is this a metaphor for the $8.8 billion mentioned below, or a separate incident?) handed $2 million cash and a $15 million contract to Custer Battles, a newly-formed company whose founders (Scott Custer and Mike Battles) had no prior experience in security and had to borrow cab fare to get from Jordan to Iraq, to provide security for Baghdad International Airport, on the strength of a sloppily-written and incomplete proposal. [3] The contract gave Custer Battles responsibility for airport ­security for civilian flights – of which there never were any during the life of their contract. Custer Battles found a bunch of abandoned Iraqi Airways forklifts on airport property, repainted them to disguise the company markings, and billed them to U.S. tax­payers as new equipment. Custer Battles officials played office football with $100,000 wads of $100 bills in plastic wrap. The Bush administration refused to prosecute Custer Battles, and stymied efforts of others to do so. In 2006, the Army Corps of Engineers obligated $362 million "Dummy Vendor", via 96 different contracts. Much has simply gone missing; nobody knows who has it, but some of it has certainly ended up in the hands of the "very bad people" we are supposedly fighting against: In July, a federal audit found that 190,000 weapons are missing in Iraq -- nearly one out of every three arms supplied by the United States. [4] When L. Paul Bremer was installed as head of the CPA, he had $12 billion in cash flown into Baghdad on huge wooden pallets and stored in palaces and government buildings, under minimal guard in some cases. A pile of $200 million in one of Saddam's former palaces was watched by a single soldier, who left the key to the vault in a backpack on his desk when he went out to lunch. Unsurprisingly, the recordkeeping for how this money was spent was less than meticulous. "one agent could account for only $6,306,836 of some $23 million he'd withdrawn. Bremer's office "acknowledged not having any supporting documentation" for $25 million given to a different agent. A ministry that claimed to have paid 8,206 guards was able to document payouts to only 602." Ultimately, some $8.8 billion of the $12 billion proved impossible to find. [5] [6] If terrorists have gotten hold of even a small percentage of that money, think how this may be helping their cause. "Witnesses were afraid to testify in an effort to ­recover government funds because they feared reprisal from the government." Other government-employed whistleblowers have been demoted or fired. [7] 2007-02-25 See also #Filed Links: apparently we are now funding terrorist organizations (ostensibly towards destabilizing Iran) in our pursuit of the War on Terror. Giving with one hand, taking away with the other Bush goes on a half-hour photo-opportunity visit to a job-training center in Portland, Oregon, looking over the shoulders of computer operators working on job listings and praising the program's work. After the cameras have moved on to other things, however, the Portland center gets slammed in Bush's new budget.AHHHW There are also at least one or two examples (probably more) of Bush making a big speech about supporting science, or supporting bold new initiatives in space, and then very soon afterwards (the next day in one case) slashing the corresponding budget. Need to find the sources. Filibustering The Filibuster Flip-Flop: multiple quotes from Republican members of the 109th US Congress stating their opposition to filibustering – a procedure whose value their remaining members in the 110th US Congress seem to have abruptly discovered and are now using with far more zeal than the Democrats ever did. Troop Withdrawal Bush's position when he was governor of Texas, criticizing Clinton's Kosovo strategy, echoing the 2000 US Republican Party Platform: 1999-04-09, Houston Chronicle1: Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is. 1999-06-05, Scripps Howard/Seattle Post-Intelligencer1: I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn. 2000-10-03, debating Al Gore on the question "How would you go about, as president, deciding when it was in the national interest to use U.S. force? Generally.": Well, if it's in our vital national interests. And that means whether or not our territory -- our territory is threatened, our people could be harmed, whether or not our alliances -- our defense alliances are threatened, whether or not our friends in the Middle East are threatened. That would be a time to seriously consider the use of force. Secondly, whether or not the mission was clear, whether or not it was a clear understanding as to what the mission would be. Thirdly, whether or not we were prepared and trained to win, whether or not our forces were of high morale and high standing and well-equipped. And finally, whether or not there was an exit strategy. I would take the use of force very seriously. I would be guarded in my approach. I don't think we can be all things to all people in the world. I think we've got to be very careful when we commit our troops. The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation-building. I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders. Text not relevant to the immediate point has been greyed-out but left in place to clarify the context. It should be noted that Bush's later actions also contradict his statements about using force only if "our territory is threatened", "our alliances are threatened", "the mission was clear", "our forces were of high morale and high standing", and of being very guarded in his approach and not indulging in "nation-building". Bush's position in 2007, when he was defending his own lack of exit plan for Iraq: George W. Bush, 2007-04-23, Statement by the President on the War in Iraq: I believe artificial timetables of withdrawal would be a mistake. ... I will strongly reject an artificial timetable withdrawal and/or Washington politicians trying to tell those who wear the uniform how to do their job. Dick Cheney, 2007-04-13, Vice President's Remarks to the Heritage Foundation: The ... attempt to micromanage our commanders is an unwise and perilous endeavor. It is impossible to argue that an unconditional timetable for retreat could serve the security interests of the United States or our friends in the region. White House press secretary Dana Perino, 2007-04-23, Press Briefing by Dana Perino, giving the official position in response to Senator Harry Reid's position on withdrawal: He’s also in denial that a surrender date he thinks is a good idea. It is not a good idea. It is defeat. It is a death sentence for the millions of Iraqis who voted for a constitution, who voted for a government, who voted for a free and democratic society. The hypocrisy of changing his position to suit his needs, without apology or explanation, is compounded by the following facts: His extreme condemnations of those who use those same arguments (the 1999 criticisms of Clinton) to criticize his actions regarding Iraq. Bush has repeatedly overridden the advice of his top generals and forced the resignation of those who disagreed with him[?]. The Balkan Intervention was a tremendous success, while the US invasion of Iraq has been an even more tremendous failure: Balkans vs. Iraq Mission Accomplished see George W. Bush/mission accomplished Supporting the Troops debating Al Gore on the question "How would you go about, as president, deciding when it was in the national interest to use U.S. force? Generally.": Morale in today's military is too low. We're having trouble meeting recruiting goals. We met the goals this year, but in the previous years, we have not met recruiting goals. Some of our troops are not well-equipped. I believe we're overextended in too many places. And, therefore, I want to rebuild the military power. It starts with a billion dollar pay raise for the men and women who wear the uniform, a billion dollars more than the president recently signed into law, to make sure our troops are well-housed and well-equipped; bonus plans to keep some of our high-skilled folks in the services; and a commander in chief who clearly sets the mission, and the mission is to fight and win war, and, therefore, prevent war from happening in the first place. ... There is a problem, and it's going to require a new commander in chief to rebuild the military power. The other day, I was honored to be flanked by Colin Powell and General Norman Schwarzkopf, who stood by my side and agreed with me. They said we could, even though we're the strongest military, that if we don't do something quickly, we don't have a clearer vision of the military, if we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that. I'm going to rebuild our military power. It's one of the major priorities of my administration. The US military is now far, far more overextended and short-changed than it was during the peak of deployment under Clinton, and yet Bush makes no apology for his earlier statements nor for going against this implied promise to the troops (that he would make sure they were always well cared-for). David Brin said, on 2007-10-08: September 26, 2007, the GAO released a report revealing that the DOD and the VA are taking no better care of the wounded troops now than they were when the Washington Post broke the story about Walter Reed hospital, two years ago.

Latvian startup Printify operates a marketplace website that links 2 million sellers, 60 print providers and potential buyers The company recently secured a funding round of 45 million USD Printify grew from 300 to 500 employees last year and plans to double its headcount Riga-based print-on-demand startup Printify is looking to double its team to over 1,000 employees by the end of 2022, after recently securing 45 million USD (38.6 million EUR) in Series A. “For the past years, our main focus has been directed towards investing in our talents and expanding our global team (…) There were 300 Printify employees at the end of 2020, and we are already over 500 at the moment. By the end of this year, we aim to hire at least another 100 smart talents both on location in Riga, as well as remotely. We are planning to expand our team significantly over the next year and expect to double the current number”, James Berdigans, company co-founder and CEO, told ITKeyMedia. The Latvian startup has 124 job openings published on its website, and almost half of them are in business strategy, operations, marketing and communications. For the past years, our main focus has been directed towards investing in our talents and expanding our global team. We are constantly adding new positions and we are particularly looking for people with marketplace experience, in Product Management and Operations – and most of the positions are remote-friendly! — James Berdigans, co-founder and CEO of Printify In September 2021, Index Ventures led a round that featured other high-profile investors, such as Virgin Group (Richard Branson), Dreamers VC (Will Smith), H&M CO:LAB, as well as regional angel investors like the founders of (Transfer)Wise and Vinted. How did Printify convince such big names? Berdigans does not want to provide too many insights, stating just that fundraising is always a time-consuming process and that Printify is one of the lucky cases where the startup’s vision (turning e-commerce to a more sustainable approach of on-demand production) coincides with their investors’. “Mass manufacturing has been around for hundreds of years. It is ineffective from the perspective that you never know how much you will sell. You always end up with unsold inventory that damages your profitability and creates environmental waste. Alternatively, you end up producing less than customers want to buy, not utilising the full potential. Print-on-demand is the future of more sustainable manufacturing, and our vision is to transform e-commerce eliminating excess stock and reducing environmental waste”, he added. Selling Custom-designed Products in 4 Steps Printify operates a marketplace that enables users to sell custom designed/ branded products. Let’s say, for example, a user is interested in selling T-shirts. After setting up an account, there will be close to 50 models of T-shirts to choose from (men/ women/ unisex), and the user pays only for that product – the price varies according to the account type (there is also a free plan and an enterprise plan for over 10,000 orders per day). The next step is using the website’s mock-up generator to apply a custom design and customise colours. Samples can be ordered for testing out the product and the print provider. Once confirmed, Printify can automatically publish the item to the user’s online store, supporting integrations with the major e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Etsy, eBay, PrestaShop, Wix, WooCommerce). How Printify’s on-demand platform works Printify’s catalogue currently has over 400 products. Berdigans says they are adding close to 10 new items each week. The most popular and best-selling products are, of course, the classics: T-shirts, hoodies, stickers, mugs, posters and hats. “We also see a fast-growing market for baby and kids products, sportswear, pet products and drinkware”. Printify’s current best-sellers Unique Request from Customers: Printable Doll Clothing Berdigans highlights that the merchant community is active in voicing suggestions for new products and some are quite unusual and niche. “From printable doll clothing and doctor scrubs to surf boards, many requested products have already been added to our catalogue, such as insulated wine tumblers, tie-dye shirts, customisable Christmas tree light bulbs and many others”, he stated. Networking 2 Million People The startup works with over 60 print providers around the world, and plans to add another 10 by the end of the year. This does not mean strictly 70 locations, emphasises Berdigans – “Many print providers have more than one factory; there are over 100 locations represented across the world, from the USA, Canada and Mexico to China, South Korea, to Australia, to the UK, Germany, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, as well as Latvia.” He said that the Printify platform is used by over 2 million sellers, and there is a shift with regards to the main audience. “Most of our merchants are people who want to build a side-business and earn money in addition to their main income, but lately we also see a high growth of creators and entrepreneurs who use Printify as a service that helps building their core business.” The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely accelerated the startup’s business and the e-commerce sector in general, which grew by as much as 50% last year. “We happened to be in the right place at the right time. There was more demand because customers were shopping more online. There was more supply because many people lost their jobs and were looking for alternative ways to make money – and doing print-on-demand e-commerce is a great way to make money without any upfront investment”, Berdigans explains. Evan Koorse, President of Monster Digital, one of Printify’s partners since 2019, believes the print-on-demand market is still in its infancy. “The implications of the on-demand printing revolution are unfathomable. Technology and innovation in on demand product, coupled with Printify’s dynamic marketplace, has created a paradigm shift on how product is manufactured and sold. The market disruptions we have seen in a short period of time are tame in comparison to what we are going to see in the next decade”, he told ITKeyMedia. When it comes to Printify, he expects the startup will become a unicorn “within the next few years” (incidentally, Latvia produced a print-on-demand unicorn earlier this year, when Prinful raised 130 million USD/ 112.6 million EUR from Bregal Sagemount – editor’s note). According to Koorse, Printify’s strongest asset is its team. “Their passion and approach to business will continue to attract, and retain talent (…) I believe they will continue to lead and innovate through many more markets, products, services, and partnerships.” Printify will be a unicorn within the next few years. — Evan Koorse, President of Monster Digital “I always knew I wanted to become an entrepreneur” Founded in 2015 by James Berdigans, Artis Kehris, and Gatis Dukurs, Printify is the fruitful result of multiple attempts. “I always knew I wanted to become an entrepreneur – like my parents. Over the years, I took many attempts at starting a business. I learned a lot. Especially the high cost and risk of producing large batches of products, but not knowing how much I’ll be able to sell”, he recalls, adding that the key was to make only what customers want, when they want it. Berdigans set up a company that produced sockets with integrated USB chargers and one that sold Italian leather accessories for Apple products. Kehris, Printify’s COO until the end of 2020, started working in media, as an account manager for Ogilvy, then as a show producer and host for TV3 Latvia. In 2011, he co-founded a video advertising platform, and in 2016 he took part in a startup accelerator programme in San Francisco, together with Berdigans. Dukurs, previously Printify’s CTO, now Product Manager, has a solid background in web development.

One of the best ways to deal with change is to anticipate it. At the beginning of each year, I take a step back to see the forest for the trees. This is my summary of key trends to watch for 2011. Anticipate What to Expect Putting it together is a time-consuming exercise, but it’s one of the most important things I do for the coming year. It helps me see the bigger map. With the bigger map, I have a simpler way to understand what’s going on, anticipate what to expect, respond more effectively, and most importantly – make better bets on where to spend my time. Don’t read this as a definitive list. Draw from it to help you create your own lens to make sense of the landscape and find your path forward. It’s long, I tried to keep it as scannable as possible. I didn’t want to cut it short for the sake of simplicity. Instead, I wanted to provide a solid map with sources you can draw from as you plan your road ahead. What’s a Trend Faith Popcorn’s BrainReserve describes trends in this way: “Our Trends are not fads. Our Trends endure. Our Trends evolve. They represent underlying forces, first causes, basic human needs, attitudes, aspirations. They help us navigate the world, understand what’s happening and why, and prepare for what is yet to come.” Key Questions I Ask to Find and Rationalize Trends These are some of the basic questions I ask to find and rationalize key trends: Where are the investments? (e.g. Where are the CxOs betting?) Where’s the growth? Where’s the pain? Who are the pillars in the relevant niches and what are they saying? … more importantly, what are they doing? What are the results? What’s the data say? What are consumers doing? Is it a real trend or just a fad? … and does it matter? The Short List – 5 Keys to the Future Before the longer list, I want to shine the light on 5 key things: Clouds and Clients. This is a key growth spot. How else do you keep up in a rapidly changing world, deliver services. disrupt the game, and bring new game changers to market faster than ever before? It’s the cloud. It marks the commodization of IT and computing. Companies can now innovate and disrupt at speeds and cycles we’ve never seen before. One simple metric is how quickly you can reach a million users now with a new service or product, compared to five years ago. If you want to stay relevant, you have to be thinking about your cloud and virtualization story. The opportunities here are amazing from the one-man band code slinger who spins up a Web farm for their app that changes the world to businesses that expose new capabilities to the World and help build the programmable Web. It’s also a way to simplify computing and move up the stack. It’s a gamer’s world. I don’t just mean Farmville. It’s like Second Life meets the real world. With virtual goods on the rise, and more people connecting and having fun through games online, it’s a sweet spot for innovation. To fully appreciate why it’s a gamer’s world, check out Jane McGonigal’s TED Talk on how gaming can make a better world. (Here’s the gist — Games like World of Warcraft give players the means to save worlds and the incentive to learn the habits of heroes. What if we could harness this gamer power to solve real-world problems?) BTW – way to go Activision Blizzard. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm shattered previous sales records, by selling more than 3.3 million copies in its first 24 hours, making it the fastest-selling PC game of all time. I expect more lines to blur with work and fun and edutainment, as companies find ways to use gaming approaches to motivate today’s Web worker world. It’s gamer + education + business + life. NUI experiences. NUI (Natural User Interface) is in. Great user experiences are the differentiator that drive adoption and make things stick. This is a great area for innovation, patterns, and practices. Speaking of innovation, how cool is the Kinect for XBox 360? It’s a hands-free controller. Talk about a game changer (and talk about getting closer to interacting with computers Minority Report style.) When you think about the possibilities of rich media, touch, speech, location-aware services, and “you-as-the-remote control” (think Wii and Kinect), the possibilities for amazing and immersive experiences are endless. More importantly, we can finally start showing how software improves productivity, effectiveness, efficiency, and fun. Have you also noticed the explosion of 3D into the cinema and living room? What’s next … 3D gaming? The Mobile Internet. Take the Web wherever you go. It’s a powerful platform and ecosystems that bring the power of software to everyday scenarios, anywhere and everywhere. With Apple iPhone and iPad, Google Android, Windows Phone 7, the Web is truly in the palm of your hand, and the app story is just going to keep getting better, The Year of the eBook. This is THE year. Earlier this year, Seth Godin said, “I’ve decided not to publish any more books in the traditional way.” With the Apple iPad, Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, and of course the Amazon Kindle, the game is on. Oh, yeah, and Google has a shiny new Google eBookstore. (You can read about the new Google eBookstore in Discover more than 3 million Google eBooks from your choice of booksellers and devices.) One way to be thinking about changes is to put them into context. You can think in terms of home, on the road, and at work. Key Trends for 2011 Here is my summary of key trends for 2011: Analytics / BI (Business intelligence). Data-driven decisions win over guesswork. It’s tough, especially when statistics lie and we want to trust our instincts over our indicators. Start by asking, how do the great businesses drive their great decisions? Between information markets and crowd sourced intelligence and social networking, the real issue is how you leverage the data and turn it into intelligent decisions and smart feedback loops, and how you learn and respond. “Consumerization” of IT. A while back, Gartner said Consumerization Will Be Most Significant Trend Affecting IT During Next 10 Years … I think we see that accelerating. Cycles of change speed up even more. Life cycles shift to warp speed and lines blur between versions, creating living, breathing products. This creates pressure to master change management, adopt more Agile methods, figure out compliance and governance for the new landscape. Digital Health. This is where cloud, BI/analytics and diagnostics can seriously change the game. There is also a shift to more user empowerment. If you take a stroll through Best Buy, you might notice the expanding Digital Health shelf. This is an area where more people may start to outsource their health to smart applications that can see patterns, provide monitoring, and alerts. Education 2.0. Have you met Bill Gate’s favorite teacher, Sal Khan? Khan created Khan Academy. The Khan Academy is the free classroom for the world with hundreds of free videos and exercises and it’s mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Global distributed development. Competing in a global market means finding and using the best resources at the best price, anywhere in the world. Location based services. Talk about relevancy in action and just-in-time ads. It’s all about specialization + location. Location, location, location takes on new meaning and relevancy. Jim Carroll says, “Consider the concept of a ‘location-intelligence professional.’ Today, this involves someone working within the insurance industry, learning how to link the extensive data-sets of geographic oriented information – think Google Maps – with existing insurance underwriting information, and with other statistical databases.” Micropayments and virtual currencies. Second Life really set the trend here a while back, but it’s becoming more important in today’s world. This paves the way for real money for micro-transactions. It also creates a model for reputation based systems, which is important in a reputation-based economy. Private cloud. The time is ripe for Enterprises to move to the cloud, and private clouds and integration will be key stepping stones. Reputation based. It’s reputations that cut through the clutter and rise to the top, helped by word-of-mouth marketing and raving fans. Standards / open systems. One of the way so win in today’s world is to build great experiences on top of open standards. Optimize for open over closed. Talent Economy / Skills-for-Hire Economy. Specialization, market maturity and rapid cycles of change drive a demand for key skills. The key is to balance “generalist” skills in business and technology, along with specialized skills that the market values. The rise of Social media / social networking. Between world-of-mouth marketing, raving fans, and real time information markets for customer feedback that can make you or break you, embrace and leverage the power of the people. Tribes. Tribes are who you’re making your products for. Tribes are your network. You’ll find your next job through your tribe, or you’ll help members in your tribe find their next job. User empowerment. It’s the rise of the spider and the fall of the starfish in a federated world. User experiences. This is where reputations are built and raving fans are won. Think speed, simplicity, immersive experience, visualization, how you feel … etc. Design working backward from the end experience in mind. If the resulting experience suck will suck, don’t even start to build it. Virtual goods. Whether it’s eBooks or information products or rewards in game worlds, virtual goods have real-world potential. Web TV. Web TV is truly here. Improvements in broadband have certainly helped. Whether your box is Roku, Playstation, X-Box, Wii, Apple TV, an internet-ready blue-ray, or an Internet-ready TV, and whether you stream from Amazon video-on-demand, NetFlix, or Hulu, video-on-demand has become a reality. With Google TV on the scene, things really get interesting. The Meta-Pattern for Trends These are some of the patterns I’m noticing about the patterns of the trends: “Built to Change” Over “Built to Last.” Again, this goes back to shifting from a static world, to a dynamic world and embracing change over fighting it. Run with it. Consumer patterns drive Enterprise patterns. At the end of the day, people are consumers and the patterns show up in the Enterprise. Decentralize and federate. Think starfish and spider. Differentiate. Differentiate by giving your best where you have your best to give. Compete by dividing the niche and small is the new big (so you win with a portfolio that’s flexible and responsive to market demand.) Execution is king. Operational efficiency and innovating in your product cycle is how you survive and thrive. Prosumer. Think Consumer + Producer. Get your customers into your production cycle earlier so they help you create and innovate in your product line. Pull vs. Push. Know the mental model from push to pull. In Push Me, Pull You–Dueling Business Models, Steve Bosserman says, “Through the three hundred-year reign of the Industrial Age, businesses “pushed” their products and services onto consumers. Limited choice accompanied by considerable marketing hype was enough to make the consumer buy. It was a sellers’ market. Now, thanks largely to the Information Age, consumers are evolving into customers who can select what they want from a variety of providers. It is becoming a buyers’ market.” Relevancy is king. Google taught us this. Reputation and brand are king. In a social networked world, it’s the network that says who the authority is and what works and what doesn’t. Simplicity. Simplicity always win in the long run when it comes to adoption. Find ways to reduce friction and make things simple out of the box. Design for simplicity and keep things simple where you can. Social Value / Community Good. Green is not optional. In a green world, if you’re business doesn’t play well with green values, it’s not a sustainable path. Results are king. Talk is cheap. Results speak for themselves. There are a lot of kings here. In checkers, it’s easier to win when you have a lot of kings. The Way Forword What’s past is past and the future Absorb what is useful. Do it Bruce Lee style — take what you need, adapt it, and throw out the rest. Agility. Stay adaptable. Flexibility is your friend. See The better adapted you are, the less adaptable you tend to be. Anticipate change. Look ahead. Build your anticipation skills. Know the system. Things don’t just happen. The more you know the system and the ecosystem, the more you can anticipate what’s coming down the line. Pay attention to market leaders, trend setters, patterns, and cycles. Everything happens in cycles whether it’s growth or decline. best. Be the Best on the Web. there’s no room for #2. Be the best at what you’re the best at. This is Good to Great in action. Build a firm foundation. Know Maslow’s hierarchy and prioritize taking care of your basic needs. Know your “monthly burn” and be mindful of your decisions to support your firm foundation. The stronger your foundation is, the more you can help yourself and others when they need it most. Compete where it makes the most sense. Compete on price, or quality or customer and don’t mix them up. This depends on which stage of the maturity cycle you are in, what the state of the market is, and what you can be the best at. For example, in a commodity market, don’t be the most expensive. Turn competition into collaboration and find the win wins to really change your game and rock the world. If it doesn’t help you be your best, cut it out. This means living your values, and playing to your strengths. It also means giving your best where you have your best to give, as a person, and as a company. It’s how your survive, and it’s how you go from surviving to thriving. Any other way drains you in the long run and you get priced or pushed or competed out of the market. It’s the sustainable path. Follow the Cycles. Knowing the path from cradle to grave, gives you an edge. It helps you anticipate what to expect and it helps you apply levers where they count. At a meta-level, there is a pattern for market maturity cycles. According to Alonso Martinez and Ronald Haddock, the 4 stages of market maturity are: 1) survival, 2) quality, 3) convenience, 4) customization. Follow the Data. With all the usage data and analytics power of a Web world, you don’t need to guess at success. It’s very easy to use surveys to figure out what your customers want. It’s easy to provide options for customers to provide actionable feedback. Drive your decisions with data and make informed decisions. Do A/B testing and experiment your way forward. Follow the growth. Follow your own growth, and follow the growth in the market. For example, in the tech industry some growth areas are mobile and cloud. Along these lines, create the growth. Follow the money. Where there’s money, there’s growth. You can look to where CxOs are investing, or even where you company is investing and making its bets. Follow the people. Great people have track records for a reason. Find the people who are connected and always seem to be ahead of the curve. Great ideas flow from great people and this is an idea economy. Get back to the basics. Practice the fundamentals. They work. Among the chaos, there are always core principles, patterns, and practices that you can bank on. Hone your personal brand. Make the most of what you’ve got and make sure your differentiation is obvious. For example, one of my differentiators is “getting results.” Invest in yourself. Inner-engineering always pays off. It’s your network and what you know. People sort and sift through people they know. In a skills-for-hire economy, your network is how you find the opportunities. Know the cycles of things. For example, know the Four Stages of Market Maturity, the Technology Adoption Life Cycle, and the Diffusion of Innovations. Lead yourself from the inside out. Follow your values, play to your strengths, and follow your purpose. It’s the sustainable path. Learn and respond. Your ability to learn and respond will drive your best results. Innovate in your process and your product. Model the best. You can speed up your learning curves and avoid costly mistakes by modeling from best practices and working examples. Whenever you think you’re faced with a new problem, first ask, who else might share this problem, and see if you can find three good examples of how this problem was solved. Key Sources I primarily draw from my own experience working with customers, and paying attention to what they’re paying attention to, as well as paying attention to my mentors and smarties across Microsoft, and whoever they tell me to pay attention to. One of the easiest ways to see where the action is and where the growth will be is to watch where companies put their best people and where they invest (I call it a “charter and bets check”). I also draw from the following: Jim Carroll – Jim helps me see the trends across industries and look to patterns. He’s also great at identifying where the growth and opportunities are, and more importantly how to frame the landscape in a way that makes it actionable instead of analysis paralysis. Trend Hunter – It’s effectively “crowd-sources insight” and it’s a great source for consumer trends. I’m a big believer that consumer trends pave the path for Enterprise trends. By watching consumer trends, I learn what to expect. I then watch how it shows up as I work with my customers. This pattern serves me well. Internet Trends by Morgan Stanley — This is a data-driven view of the emerging trends. What I like about this report is how the data is used to help identify and illustrate the patterns. C:Insights Trends – They focus on consumer trends and they specialize in research and advisory services. I look to them for patterns and key words in consumer trends. Craig Mundie, Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Microsoft – Mundie has been in the business for more than 35 years, and he’s a forward thinker. I pay attention to Mundie because he is in the center of a lot of action. He’s also good at being able to see the forest from the trees. Faith Popcorn – I first heard about Faith from Tony Robbins and I can see why he looks to her for patterns and trends. Her super skill is finding the more pervasive trends that shape the culture, consumers, and the community. She specializes in turning the insight from trends into actions for business and weaving them into strategies and tactics for business. IBM Executive Exchange – The beauty of the IBM Executive Exchange is that it’s real insight from actual CIO, CFO, and CEOs. If you want to know what kinds of things will be getting attention in the coming year, simply look to the CxOs. The CxOs have an important vantage point in their company. They know their company’s strategy, top pain points, and key investments. You can expect ripple effects from their decision. IDC (International Data Corporation) — IDC is an analyst that specializes in analyzing the future. I look to them to see what insights and trends they see across various sectors include energy, financial, government, health, manufacturaing, and retail. JWT Intelligence – JWT is all about finding trends and turning cultural shifts into opportunities. I find their synthesis and the way they name their trends, insightful and compelling. I cross-check them against the other consumer trends I see. With that in mind, here is a quick roundup of key trends to watch for from these sources … C:Insights on Trends 20 Mobile Trends for 2011 — http://www.slideshare.net/CinsightsTrends/20-key-mobile-trends-201011 Trend 1 – Augmented Reality (AR) Trend 2 – Social Search Trend 3 – Social Gaining Trend 4 – Mobile social Networks Trend 5 – Mobile Discount Coupons Trend 6 – QR Codes Trend 7 – Micro Blogging Trend 8 – Video Sharing Trend 9 – Instant Networking Trend 10 – Niche Networks Trend 11 – Multitasking Trend 12 – Virtual Personas Trend 13 – Mobile IM Trend 14 – Social Music Trend 15 – Organic Technology Trend 16 – Conversational Content Trend 17 – Open Source Applications Trend 18 – Peer Advertising Trend 19 – Social Media Aggregators Trend 20 – Mobile Apps CIO Insight on Trends Lundquist’s Top Tech Trends for 2011 – http://www.cioinsight.com/c/a/IT-Management/Lundquists-Top-Tech-Trends-for-2011-656290/ The CIO as Services Maestro IT Services Reverse Consumerization The Mobile Enterprise Virtualization, Cloud Computing Big Blue vs. Big Red Remember PCs?

There have been many technological trends that we’ve been studying in research for 10 or even 20 years, and they’re all starting to come together, enabled by this revolution in the microprocessor capability and networking, to some extent.” Working on your behalf – “For time immemorial, computers have been a great tool, but increasingly, the world has so much stuff available to us that if we have to navigate it all by hand, it just becomes tedious. So, we’re now starting to turn a lot of the power of the computer to helping us get things done.” IBM Executive Exchange on Trends 2010 IBM Global IT Risk Study – The Evolving Role of IT Managers and CIOs The Evolving Role of IT Managers and CIOs http://www-931.ibm.com/docs/vrmhost/GBE03365-USEN-00.pdf Top 5 Emerging Technologies in terms of risk: Social networking tools Mobile platforms Cloud computing Virtualization Service-oriented architecture Additional insights … “IT risk management and compliance has remained largely immune from budget cuts or cost reductions.” Risk management helps defensively with business continuity, protecting reputation and proactively with a company’s agility, creating growth, and reducing costs. Business continuity is about building a “risk-aware culture” and baking into the tools, processes and methodologies. “IT security (vulnerability to hackers and unauthorized access/use of company systems) is the number-one concern among 78 percent of the IT professionals surveyed.” Analytics: The new path to value http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/gbs/thoughtleadership/ibv-embedding-analytics.html How the smartest organizations are embedding analytics to transform insights into action. The success pattern is to use analytics over best guesses – “The tendency for top-performing organizations to apply analytics to particular activities across the organization, as compared to lower performers.” Smarter Cities – Cities are getting smarter. Watch the trailer on Smarter Cities http://www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/thesmartercity/index_flash.html#/home/trailer/ According to the video, cities around the world are tackling: “How to keep traffic flowing, cure a health care system, protect citizens while protecting their privacy, and how to demonstrate how one decision affects millions of people and involve them in making their city a better place to live.” IDC on Trends Worldwide System Infrastructure Software 2011 Top 10 Predictions – http://www.idc.com/research/viewtoc.jsp?containerId=225895 Private Cloud Plans Will Mature, Dominate the Enterprise Infrastructure Software Agenda in 2011 Battle for Next-Generation Cloud Platforms Will Shift Focus from IaaS to PaaS Microsoft Windows Azure Will Get the Respect It Deserves New Enterprise Mainframe Will Create Integrated/Hybrid Solution Opportunities for Management Software Vendors, But MIPS Wars Will Continue Server Virtualization Will Continue to Subsume High-Availability and Replication Functionality Client Virtualization Will Become a Strategic, Mainstream Desktop Choice in 2011 Big 4 Will Become the Big 5 — Microsoft Will Displace HP as the Number 1 Global Distributed Systems Management Software Provider Social Collaboration Will Force Shift in IT Service Management Support Best Practices Enterprises Will Push for Broad ELA Subscription Pricing as ISVs Struggle to Accommodate Elastic Infrastructure and Cloud-Scale Operations Novell Acquisition Will Be Catalyst for Linux Market Upheaval During 2011 IDC Predictions 2011: Welcome to the New Mainstream – http://www.idc.com/research/viewtoc.jsp?containerId=225878 Worldwide IT Spending Growth Will Be Solid, with Hardware Moderating and Rebounds in Software and Services Emerging Markets Will Continue to Lead Global Growth in IT Public and Private Cloud Adoption Will Surge, Two Cloud “Power Position” Battles Will Enter High Gear, and a Buzzword Will Get Ready to Fade Cloud-Driven Datacenter Transformations Will Pick Up Speed The Mobility Explosion Will Continue — with Huge Device Volumes, New Form Factors, and Billions of Mobile Apps Broadband Networks Will Struggle — and Innovate — to Keep Up Social Business Momentum Will Drive Consolidation, SMB Adoption The Expanding Digital Universe Will Drive Cloud-Friendly Information Infrastructure and Real-Time Analytics for “Big Data” “Intelligent Industries” Will Put Mobility, Social Networking to Work Industry Positions for Customers Demanding “I Want My Web TV!” 2010 UtiliQ Rankings: Top 25 Intelligent Utilities http://www.idc-ei.com/research/UtiliQ.jsp In their “Looking Ahead” section, IDC provides a set of guidelines for strategies and investments for companies that want to improve their position: Partner with the customer. “Recent customer backlash in some areas is in large part due to insufficient communication with the customer. Develop a b communications plan to make the customer aware of the long-run advantages of intelligent investments and use pilot programs as a testing ground for customer partnership.” Drive company cultural change.” Becoming a more intelligent utility has a lot to do with people. Your employees need to understand your company’s vision, your strategy for getting there, why it’s important to all major stakeholders – including customers and regulators – and what this all means to your employees on a day-to-day basis.” Improve processes for both “lean” and “green.” “Efficient processes drive down the cost of maintaining the current environment and free up resources for innovation and growth.” Make intelligent technology investments.” Find ways to get the best return from your technology investments by ensuring that your spending on information, communications, and energy technologies is in line with the business.” Jim Carroll on Trends Trending in 2011: 10 Major Trends to Start Thinking About Now! http://www.jimcarroll.com/2010/10/trending-in-2011-10-major-trends-to-start-thinking-about-now/ The expectations gap. “Western society is defined by an increasing divergence between what people expect, and what they will get.” Industries blur. “The world of fashion and healthcare are going to merge. We are going to see an increasing number of bio-connectivity health care devices that will be used for the remote monitoring of health care conditions.” Energy gets smart. “.. Continued high-speed innovation with renewable energy sources, and velocity with grid-parity: the point in time at which the cost of producing renewable energy equals that of carbon based sources.” The collapse of attention spans. “If you don’t know how to think, market and promote at nano-speeds, you’re not ready for the future!” Faster market evolution. “New products flood the market at ever increasing speeds, and fast-consumers snap them up in a moment and evolve their lifestyles quicker.” Innovation partnerships. Companies can’t keep up and just innnovate on their own … “enjoy greater success through open innovation and other external innovation partnerships.” The fight against workplace boredom. “Organizations are fighting back against boredom by trying to keep staff engaged.” American-Idolotry. People love heroes. “The future of workplace and partner renumeration is all about the red-carpet, the spotlight, and the celebration of success!” The big impact of small incrementalism. “Everyone is learning that one way to win the future is by having a lot of small wins that add up to big gains.” Communities redefined. Community ergonomics will be a high growth industry. We have a growing senior population, which means communities need to be “rethought, re-designed, and reconstructed.” JWT Intelligence on Trends http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTk2J935Bg&feature=player_embedded All the world’s a game The urgency economy Non-commitment culture Eat, pray, tech De-teching Retail as the third space Creative urban renewal Worlds colliding Hyper-personalization Outsourcing self-control Morgan Stanley on Trends CM Summit, June 7, 2010 Internet Trends 2010 by Morgan Stanley Research from FM Signal Mobile Internet – Unprecedented Early Stage Growth Innovation — Unprecedented Intensity?

Rudolf Melik on Trends Ten Major Trends for 2011 and How They Impact Professional Services and Project Delivery http://www.psvillage.com/pulse/ten-major-trends-2011-and-how-they-impact-professional Rudolf, CEO of Tenrox, does a great job overlaying his experience and perspective against Jim Carroll’s map of 10 majory Trends for 2011. Check out his article, but here is a quick blurb from his take on how the workforce will shift to more project-based execution. Rudolf on Hollywood movie style execution — “More companies are also adopting a Hollywood movie style execution strategy by bringing people together to shoot the film (execute the project) and then disband the crew (the team) just as quickly as it came together once the film is completed (project is closed).” Rudolf on project history over employment history — “Project workers are increasingly giving more importance to the next project they will work on instead of the company they will work at. More and more personal profiles take the form of an individual’s project history rather than their employment history.” Trend Hunter on Trends 2011 Trend Repor Samples http://www.trendreports.com/2011-Trend-Report Interactive Retail – “Stores focus on customer engagement as primary business strategy.” Social Shopping – “Shopaholics are using social media for networking and retail therapy.” Perpetual Adaptation – “Obsessed with aesthetics, society embarks on the eternal makeover.” Democratic Selling – “Online retailers rely on customer votes to push production.” Radical Rebranding – “Pushing boundaries of reinvention to gain consumer attention.” Hyperrealism – “Real life is simulated in photorealistic artworks that defy deception.” Geriatric Couture – “Seniors become the anti-fashion inspiration for young people.” Augmented Reality – “Augmented reality combines reality and virtuality, offering a new way to imagine.” Half Formal – “Classed up business casual is a reflection of the new corporate attitude.” What else is important that I should know about or have on my radar and heat map?

The creation of the culture of safety in school is one of the aims of any educational institution and Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) is its key. This study aims to determine the Disaster Risk Reduction Management in a public elementary school in Carcar City. A descriptive survey method was utilized in this study, where 71 respondents comprising administrators, teachers, PTA officers and student leaders were involved. Instruments used were the School Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Level of Knowledge, Level of Implementation, and an Interview Guide for the Focused Group Discussion which dealt on the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of DRRM. Findings revealed that the level of knowledge by the respondents is only “fair” while the level of implementation is at “low extent” only. Their insufficient awareness on different DRR measures lead its implementation not an impressive one. This was attributed to various challenges and barriers that hinder its effective implementation. They were not that familiar with their roles and responsibilities as the actors in the program implemented. It is therefore recommended that the proposed action framework, crafted by the researcher and the rest of the school’s DRR team, and with the participation of CDRRMO and the barangay captain, be utilized.

Unlike the pests we covered in the last newsletter, scale can be difficult to eradicate, especially if left unchecked for any length of time. While there are a number of species that affect orchids, the two most common are Boisduval Scale and Soft Brown Scale. Colonies of either can become entrenched at the base of a pseudobulb, under sheaths or in between the equitant leaves of tolumnias. You may not notice until the pests have done their damage. While scale can be found on flat surfaces of leaves, the worst damage is done at the base of pseudobulbs where they can destroy the eye that would expand to be the next year’s growth. Plants with tightly clustered pseudobulbs such as Encyclia are particularly at risk. If the infestation is severe, all secondary eyes may be damaged, thus sending the plant into a downward spiral from which it cannot recover. Female Boisduval Scale are round, light-colored patches on plants while the males have a cottony appearance that can be mistaken for mealybugs or whiteflies. Close examination is needed (the insects are less than 1/16 inch – 1mm) to notice the elongate shape and three longitudinal ridges. Soft Brown Scale is easily identified by its oval waxy brown shell. Females lay eggs under the protective shells which hatch into the crawler stage. As crawlers the insects can move from plant to plant, but only short distances and especially if plants are touching each other. Because the crawlers are so small, they can also be distributed by moving air. While it takes around a month for a generation of scale insects to mature from egg to adult, the pests can have overlapping generations. It is this continual procreation that makes scale such a formidable pest to eliminate. The waxy armor coating protects egg laying females from chemical controls. They are most vulnerable during the crawler stage. While you may eliminate crawlers with one treatment, it can take repeated application of chemicals to completely wipe out scale from your collection. As with problems of any sort, early detection makes fixing the problem much easier. This is especially true regarding scale insects. Most scale infestations are brought into an orchid collection on other plants. Depending on how dedicated and precision oriented you are, the first line of treatment is at the door of your greenhouse. Newly acquired plants should at the very least be thoroughly inspected before adding them to your population of healthy orchid plants. Other steps that some growers take range from giving new plants a prophylactic spray of broad spectrum insecticide (or household remedy) to keeping new plants in quarantine for several weeks. Between those two extremes lies the sensible approach of gently scrubbing new plants with a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol, paying particular attention to removing dry sheaths from the pseudobulbs just to be sure there are no buggers hiding under them. Although you should have inspected any plant before plunking down your money, this second “hands on” treatment gives you another opportunity to evaluate the plant’s overall health. One caution about this practice is that you do not want to scrub hard enough to break plant tissue, because then you can spread disease. More on that in a future newsletter. Other controls are similar to those mentioned for aphids and mealybugs last month which you can refer to here. We go up the ladder from relatively low toxicity to poisonous. The main difference in treating scale is that due to the pest’s overlapping generations, applications must be repeated several times at 10-14 day intervals. This is extremely important when treating scale and three applications of pesticide is the minimum for effecting control. With the more benign treatments such as soaps or household remedies, the battle can be a long and prolonged one with control being limited to keeping the scourge at a non-destructive level. Orthene WP, Malathion, Sevin (Carbaryl) and Diazanon are all also used as treatment of scale, with the above recommendation of repeated applications.Cygon (Dimethoate) used to be the chemical of choice for treating scale but it is no longer available to the hobbyist and it could cause damage to certain orchids. Should you decide to use a pesticide to treat scale, treat them with the respect they deserve by following label instructions and wearing protective clothing. They kill insect pests because they are poison! A new class of control has become popular with nurserymen, however because of cost, may not be practical for the orchid hobbyist. Growth regulators such as Enstar II have been reported as effective against scale while having minimal toxicity for humans. They work by interrupting normal development of the pests. Splitting the cost among several orchidists may be a workable solution for obtaining the product to treat a scale outbreak. While there are other insects that can be annoying to orchid growers, most are uncommon (orchid blossom midge) or large enough to control mechanically (roaches, pill bugs). There is one additional insect that we will mention here before we move on to other families of pest. Whiteflies are related to aphids and mealybugs and treatment is the same for severe infestations. You know you have a whitefly problem if a white cloud of tiny insects arises when you touch an orchid plant. Yellow sticky traps can provide effective and permanent control against whitefly infestations. You can make your own by painting 4×6 inch cardboard cards yellow and coating them with a sticky substance like mineral oil or petroleum jelly. It may be easier to buy them from a garden supply store. Hang the cards every six feet or so apart and replace when they become covered with whiteflies. Prevention measures 1. Low temperature and high temperature resistant midge, the overwintering mortality rate lower than the summer mortality. Soil moisture conditions are important factors of overwintering larvae began to move, is a necessary condition for pupation and eclosion of midge. Different wheat varieties, different degree damage of wheat midge, general awn length spiny, KouJin spikelet intensive, flowering period is short and neat, peel thickness variety, of adult midge eggs and larvae invade and damage were negative. Use IT04 mosquito trap to catch wheat midges. One of these new solution developed by QM is called the IT04 outdoor mosquito trap, by using photo catalysis of TIO2( titanium dioxide). When a titanium dioxide surface is irradiated by light, the photo catalytic effect and hydrophilic are activated together. Any organic chemical in contact with the surface will undergo decomposition to CO2 and H2O and thus releasing a smell that attracts female mosquitoes. IT04 mosquito trap is also works for wheat midges. Comparing the old heavy propane mosquito trap, the IT04 mosquito trap (for outdoor) and the MBOX mosquito trap (for indoor) of QM is more convenient and affordable.The IT04 is combine with solar panel so that it don’t need to lay the wire. QM’s tech is more ecofriendly and increases the chances of catching more female mosquitoes. Besides, you won’t hear a zap anymore when it working. http://mbox-qm.com Share $('#twitter').sharrre({ share: { twitter: true }, template: ' ', enableHover: false, enableTracking: true, buttons: { twitter: {via: ''}}, click: function(api, options){ api.simulateClick(); api.openPopup('twitter'); } }); $('#facebook').sharrre({ share: { facebook: true }, template: ' ', enableHover: false, enableTracking: true, buttons:{layout: 'box_count'}, click: function(api, options){ api.simulateClick(); api.openPopup('facebook'); } }); // Scrollable sharrre bar, contributed by Erik Frye.

Welcome to The Moose Pond! The Welcomings posts give the Moose, old and new, a place to visit and share words about the weather, life, the world at large and the small parts of Moosylvania that we each inhabit. Welcomings will be posted at the start of each week (usually Saturday night with a Sunday date). To find the posts, just bookmark this link and Voila! (which is Moose for “I found everyone!!”). The format is simple: each day, the first moose to arrive on-line will post a comment welcoming the new day and complaining (or bragging!) about their weather. Or mentioning an interesting or thought provoking news item. Or simply checking in. So … what’s going on in your part of Moosylvania? … NOTE: The comments page will split off after 20 or so left margin comments with the most recent comments on the current page. To see the older comments, scroll to the bottom of the page (right before “Leave A Reply”) and use the Pages Tool to view previous pages, shown here with 3 pages of comments available and Page 2 circled. … Fierce 4+ community Welcomings Previous Week-long Welcomings from Moosylvania: October 10th Next Week-long Welcomings from Moosylvania: October 24th 34 Comments Denise Velez says: October 20, 2021 at 7:46 am Good morning Meese. 57 going up to 75 and sunny here in Kingston NY Today is MVP Kamala Harris’ birthday Happy Birthday @VP @KamalaHarris! 🎂🎉🥳(Video from the campaign trail in South Carolina two years ago). #HappyBirthdayVP pic.twitter.com/6u2RkTxc2b — David Darmofal (@david_darmofal) October 20, 2021 Happy Birthday To @VP @KamalaHarris I'm a 16 years old artist from Nigeria and here's my pencil drawing of @VP @KamalaHarris of the US in progress… Kindly RT and tag the @VP for her to see this🙏🏽 + Energy only ;) pic.twitter.com/S6U9Jbdsaw — Timilehin Artz (@tmnart4real) October 20, 2021 She’ll be in VA tomorrow doing GOTV Join me in Prince William County this Thursday for a grassroots event with @TerryMcAuliffe as we look to move Virginia towards a brighter future.

We have another beautiful blue and gold October day here in Ashburn, with a current temp. of 51 F., going for a high of 74 F. It is so clear that at 5:30 a.m., when Monty and I went out, I saw the full moon! Y’all probably think I’m a lunatic for obsessing about the full moon, but (1) the moon plays an important role in Wicca, and (b) I hardly ever get to see it. The foggy minds in Foggy Bottom and on the Hill give off these clouds of meretriciousness (mostly Republican), so the full moon is very often obscured. Busy day ahead: I’d love to get to the gym before my 10:30 appointment with the eye doctor—or I could go afterwards. At some point I have to get my hair done and do a little shopping because we’re out of dishwasher detergent. Youngest grandchild is coming for a sleepover this weekend,d so I have to look up a recipe for cleaning smelly carpets. I heard of one that involves bicarbonate of soda. Today is also payday for the Olds! My Social is in the bank account, so I’ll proceed to spend as wildly as possible (not very). In line with that, I also have to ponder what to do about Christmas presents. I usually order from Swiss Colony but everyone is either on a diet, or hates nuts, or despises oranges and grapefruit. I may just say to hail with all that and donate to a Third World catalogue, directing it to go to the education of girls. That’s enough from me this morning. Wishing a good day to all at the Pond! bfitzinAR says: October 20, 2021 at 10:19 am It’s 60, sunny, and my birthday.

Half my lifetime ago, the last year she lived with me, Momma wrote a birthday poem and left it by my bed for me to find. “Where Barbara us – is an oasis – a green and fertile space in a dry and arid land. Barbara makes things better – opens possibilities. . . A teacher – healer – listener – good friend – companion – seeker. Where Barbara is – there will be good kitchen smells – food and flowers growing (or going to be) – colors and music – a celebration of Life. . . There is courage and persistence – an on goingness. A tryer – a doer – a dancer and singer through life.” I hope she was right then. And is right now. Off to twitter to check on folks. Bright the day, Meeses. {{{HUGS}}} princesspat says: October 20, 2021 at 12:29 pm Lovely poem, bfitz, thanks for sharing. Best Birthday Wishes! bfitzinAR says: October 20, 2021 at 2:53 pm Thank you.

Thursday … It is 54 degrees in Madison with an expected daytime high of 52 (yes, colder). Cloudy and rainy. We did NOT get to see the full moon last night but we had several days of glorious almost-full views of her. So Joe Manchin is considering switching parties? :::sigh::: If he does, he will be giving up any opportunity to improve the lives of his constituents – there is no Republican agenda that will help the people of West Virginia. Heck, there is no Republican agenda, it is all about blocking any good government policies. I wonder why he thinks he will be as powerful as a Republican voting to block things or as a Democrat who might help shape policy. I guess we will find out. Thank goodness that we have the power to veto for another 3 and a quarter years. I have some errands to run this morning, hoping to be back by noon in time to – take a nap! I am nearly done with the project that has been taking all my time – one more day but that will just be monitoring the process that has been put in place. Then I have to take inventory of all the things I neglected and hope I haven’t missed anything that will cost me money or be difficult to catch up on. See all y’all later!

Today is our 54th wedding anniversary and it’s another lovely day. I’ve seen the full moon no fewer than four times—twice yesterday and twice this morning. This makes me happy. Currently in Ashburn it’s sunny and 46 F., heading for a high of 77 F. As it’s a good drying day, I’m washing Monty’s bed and two of his blankets. Busy day ahead: Darling Niece is supposed to come here and have lunch with me at the Deli, and I have a Committee meeting this afternoon. Had an absolutely awful night, ended up with four hours in the green chair. Hope I can get a nap some time today. (Scampering off to cook breakfast since today is special.)

PV stats: generated 3.7 KWHs, 168.6 m-t-d. I had a pleasant birthday yesterday. Good wishes from online folks, multiple birthday e-cards, and phone calls from both my sons and my youngest sister. (I got 2 physical cards earlier in the week and there’s at least one more to come that I know of.) My older son wanted to take me out to dinner but we couldn’t think of a place it would be safe to do so. So we had a pleasant chat and I fixed myself what used to be called a ‘hamburger steak’ – ground rib eye (it was on sale yesterday when I stopped at the grocery store to get yogurt) and steamed green beans with a crisp Jonathan apple and a couple of oatmeal-walnut cookies for dessert. Bobby seems to have had an equally pleasant birthday. And Aji, in her own words, made out like a bandit. 😂 Physical presents included warm socks and fingerless gloves (& and jewelry, of course – she is married to a silversmith) but she also got a video of her step-grandkids singing “Happy Birthday” to her. A blessing she never thought to have. I was forgetful enough to have the vax in my right arm instead of left. My arm is a bit sore. That’s the only side effect so far. But I don’t think I’d have had even that if I hadn’t gotten it in my “dominant” arm. Off to twitter to see how folks are & do my twitter stuff. (Also to Dee’s diary, of course.) Bright the day, Meeses. {{{HUGS}}} princesspat says: October 21, 2021 at 2:05 pm Good morning, 57 and light clouds in Bellingham. I’ve had a restless morning, resting my damn knees! Oh well, I’ve done what I needed to do and now I can go outdoors and see what happens. Best wishes to all. JanF says: October 22, 2021 at 6:43 am Good morning, meeses! Friday … It is 32 degrees in Madison with an expected daytime high of 50. Mostly cloudy skies. I have my slippers and hoodie on and I am hunkered down for the winter! Kyrsten Sinema is going to find out that being Joe LIEberman is not a great look. Everyone despises him, the Republicans he thinks he is pleasing with his sucking up to them and the Democrats who are enraged at those who would kill and water down their agenda. Her name – which has to be copied and pasted! – will be in the mouths of those dying when the authoritarian Republican regime takes power in 2024 and turns America into a dictatorship and starves the poors and the olds. I am going to move to Arizona so that I can vote against her in the Democratic primary and again as she runs as a ratfking independent in the general. Veterans she chose for an advisory panel quit because they don’t want to be associated with her and her whateverthehellitisthatsheisdoing. This is what happens when you elect Greens – they have no loyalty to anyone but themselves and their long grift. Why Greens are not permanently shunned after how Ralph Nader gleefully turned the government over to George W. Bush in 2000 is impossible to fathom. I wish I could have gotten my booster last week – with the FDA news I think it is going to become more difficult to get into a walk-in clinic next week. I will try on Monday and if it is too crowded, I will see what other options I have. I did not want to get the booster while I was still eyes-forward on the project that just completed because I could not afford to be down for even a day if there were symptoms. The Pfizer booster will get me back to 95.4% efficacy. See all y’all later! Diana in NoVa says: October 22, 2021 at 9:30 am Good luck with the booster! We’re getting ours next week. Denise Velez says: October 22, 2021 at 7:09 am Friday Meese. Nice weather here today, 55 going up to 68 and sunny here in Kingston NY (Jan – wish I could send you some warmth) Puerto Rico Four years and 32 days post hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, people continue to protest the untenable situation on the island affecting people's lives and livelihoods. The governor's response is police thugs. — Denise Oliver-Velez 💛 (@Deoliver47) October 22, 2021 I know Puerto Rico fell off the daily news cycle it BARELY made last week, but we’re STILL protesting. This time legislation threatening more austerity to payback wallstreet vulture funds that preyed on the island. The University of Puerto Rico is at risk. Pensions are at risk. https://t.co/vJJ0Zkw9Hr — PAOLETTE (@deviIette) October 21, 2021 Investigation in Puerto Rico Recovers $106K in Overtime Wages https://t.co/Wd9ROLRknn via @wjournalpr — Denise Oliver-Velez 💛 (@Deoliver47) October 22, 2021 Physicians, clinicians travel to Puerto Rico to assist with vaccinations, other health measures https://t.co/tGiKYvrTyq via @centraljersey.com — Denise Oliver-Velez 💛 (@Deoliver47) October 22, 2021 anotherdemocrat says: October 22, 2021 at 9:24 am Good morning. I slept in, and it was glorious. Working from home, remembering to savor this. Diana in NoVa says: October 22, 2021 at 9:32 am I like the way you think, another. I am certainly savoring these October days! Diana in NoVa says: October 22, 2021 at 9:46 am Top o’ the mornin’ to you, Moosepeeps, sure and it’s a grand immortal day! We have a blue-and-gold October Friday again in Ashburn. Right now it’s 60 F., but hubby just looked at his phone and told me it’s going down to 50 F. pretty soon. He just went to put on a vest (Britspeak for t-shirt) underneath his regular shirt. This morning we are dropping off Monty at day care, then taking care of other errands. Had a delightful lunch with Darling Niece yesterday. We talked until we were blue in the face and would have been happy to continue, but she had a doctor’s appointment and I had a meeting. I adore her. At the Communications Committee meeting yesterday we all agreed that the autumn issue was outstanding! The story I wrote (well, except for the intro and conclusion) was a front-page story, with a picture of the damaged Pentagon. To us living in the area, it wasn’t just something on the news—our friends, neighbors, and and a few of us residents worked in it, so that made it personal. There was an interview with yrs truly in the fall issue, along with a pic, and picture of the Authors’ Festival last month. Two guys commended me after reading the article about moi (naturally, I left out the stuff about being a Witch). I am sending copies of it to everyone I have ever known. Have done lots of laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, and I don’t know what all. Time to get going! Bless all y’all. bfitzinAR says: October 22, 2021 at 10:23 am It’s 48 going up to 74 and sunny at the moment. As strange as it sounds I’ll be glad when we get our first heavy frost. That’s what causes the oak to drop her leaves. As it is, between shorter days and angle of the sun and oak tree leaves a sunny day is only generating around 10 KWHs. Yesterday was just under with 178.38 m-t-d. I am happy to see that Aji’s doing well enough to post daily patreons again. Jill’s still in a holding pattern. She keeps making the phone calls but they don’t respond or can’t/won’t help or say “wait” until they can get to her. (At which time they frequently say can’t/won’t help. sigh.) She needs a lawyer, of course. She’s talking to a lot of sympathetic and informative paralegals but the lawyers themselves usually want a retainer the equivalent of 3 months of her Disability to even talk to her. sigh. Lisa’s health isn’t getting better. Which is worrisome. Other folks, other issues, but mostly hanging in there. As to me, I’ll give it at least a week but it looks like the antihistamine isn’t doing anything. sigh. I am getting more sleep – at least the last several nights – but it’s light sleep. Not the full restorative cycle. Still, that’s better than no sleep. Coffee and off to twitter. Bright the day, Meeses. {{{HUGS}}} princesspat says: October 22, 2021 at 12:24 pm Good morning, 54 and raining in Bellingham. My nights have become a series of naps again so my mornings are slow and sleepy. I feel another nap coming on so I hope a cup of coffee will help me get to my desk. I’ve got all the old needlepoints washed and stretched so sewing on the trim this afternoon will be my reward for doing what I should first :) Best wishes to all. bfitzinAR says: October 22, 2021 at 1:04 pm {{{princesspat}}} I hear ya on the nights are “a series of naps” – and also the “slow and sleepy” mornings. Thank heaven we’re retired! Healing Energy and moar {{{HUGS}}} JanF says: October 23, 2021 at 8:57 am “Series of naps” seems to be my sleeping pattern as well. Mine is because I have a bunch of aches and pains right now that I need to work through – I put myself physically through the wringer over the last several weeks and have neglected my stretches and exercises. I doze and then find myself in an uncomfortable position and then have to rearrange myself and try to fall back asleep. It seems to work but I am hoping that a long uninterrupted sleep is still a possibility. Denise Velez says: October 23, 2021 at 7:39 am Saturday Meese. 41 going up to 58 and it will be cloudy all day here in Kingston NY. I’m seeing a lot of Doom-posting The Media –and even many "progressive pundits"– love this negative & pessimistic framing of these key bills, only to comment in the next segment after the commercial break "why Biden's poll numbers are so low?" & "Dems [in disarray] are doomed to lose the 2022 midterms". — Trump & GOP incited the 1/6 U.S. Capitol attack. (@HyperDF) October 22, 2021 I am cutting and pasting this in response to all snark and doom: “Responsible people with large followings who understand the risk of GOP control should avoid postings that will increase that risk.” — be like a texas dem 🌊🌊🍎🏠 (@peggyinidaho) October 23, 2021 JanF says: October 23, 2021 at 9:04 am The problem is – and has always been – that there are too many Democrats tapped into the 24/7 ten minute news cycle and who seem to enjoy on setting their hair on fire. The “we are doomed” after the Affordable Care Act passed but did not include every single left-of-the-left feature set the stage for the Republicans taking over the House in 2010. Instead of saying “this is pretty good and will save a lot of lives”, they freaking primaried Democrats in swing districts and told people to stay home because the Democratic Party was the enemy. Fk them all! They gave us tRump in 2016 and their purity is deadly. « 1 2 3 » Comments are closed.

Tana French is simply this: a truly great writer.” —Gillian Flynn Read the New York Times bestseller by Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher and “the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” (The Washington Post). A year ago a boy was found murdered at a girlsʼ boarding school, and the case was never solved. Detective Stephen Moran has been waiting for his chance to join Dublin’s Murder Squad when sixteen-year-old Holly Mackey arrives in his office with a photo of the boy with the caption: “I KNOW WHO KILLED HIM.” Stephen joins with Detective Antoinette Conway to reopen the case—beneath the watchful eye of Holly’s father, fellow detective Frank Mackey. With the clues leading back to Holly’s close-knit group of friends, to their rival clique, and to the tangle of relationships that bound them all to the murdered boy, the private underworld of teenage girls turns out to be more mysterious and more dangerous than the detectives imagined.

I could be completely wrong, but I believe that this tattoo is a depiction of a Rahwana mask. Rahwana, or Ravana is a hindu deity with a very contentious background. To some he is an evil deity, yet to others he signifies knowledge. In most depictions he has 10 heads, but he is known to be shown with only one, like the example below. I mentioned yesterday how well Vincent Hocquet can blend in religious imagery into his abstract pieces, and this shows he can tackle these images on their own. It’s hard to see without zooming in the photo, but the vast majority of this piece is done with stippling, a technique that a number of artists have been using when approaching similar subject matters.

Bratislava, August 14 (TASR) – Former health and interior minister Tomas Drucker (who acted in both posts as a Smer-SD nominee) on Wednesday announced that he will begin collecting signatures among the public this week to support the registration of his party Good Choice. At least 10,000 signatures are needed for registration of a party at the Interior Ministry. “Not only humaneness, solidarity and decency should be normal [in politics], but also programme and tangible results, mainly in areas where we have the biggest problem and the biggest debt toward the public,” said Drucker, adding that he’ll present an ambitious and experienced team soon. It’s already been announced that Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini’s (Smer-SD) communication office chief Tomas Kuca will join Drucker, while speculations have emerged that MPs for Most-Hid Martin Fedor and Katarina Csefalvayova, and even Pellegrini could also switch to the new party.

Large-angle lenses are surprisingly troublesome to make use of. I’ve seen individuals discuss them on blogs like they’re the key weapon of each single panorama photographer, however in my opinion, they’re nice at some issues, and actually unhealthy at others. You're reading: what is a wide angle lens used for A large-angle lens is most helpful for exaggerating perspective in panorama images. Large-angle lenses elongate options and make shut objects bigger whereas additional objects turn out to be smaller within the body. The principle cause that I don’t use vast angles all that usually is as a result of they make every part distant look small. When you’re photographing mountains on the finish of sweeping plains, a wide-angle lens will flip these mountains into molehills. However there are in fact many locations the place they’re merely the very best instrument in your package. I’ve carried round my 24-70 f2.8 lens for years, as a result of it’s the right wide-angle zoom lens. I not often have to take photographs wider than 24mm, And 70mm on the telephoto finish is ideal for stitching collectively panoramas that present amazingly detailed scenes. However the very best half is that it’s a tack sharp lens even when taking photographs with a large open aperture. On this article, I’ll present you my biggest ideas for getting essentially the most out of this lens, and the way I select which focal size for the scenes that I’m capturing. What’s a wide-angle lens? At its most elementary, a wide-angle lens is any lens that has a wider discipline of view than the human eye. In actuality, wide-angle is often known as any lens 35mm or wider on a full-frame digicam physique, or 24mm on APS-C cameras. Extremely-wide angle lenses are these wider than 24mm on full-frame, just like the 16-35mm f/2.8 lens for Canon, or the 14-24mm f/2.8 on Nikon cameras. These lenses produce a discipline of view that’s wider than a human’s pure discipline of view— even when accounting for peripheral imaginative and prescient. For panorama images, these lenses are unimaginable instruments that help you seize sweeping landscapes that embody the foreground all in a single picture. Which is likely one of the most important the explanation why they’re so beloved by photographers and viewers all around the world. What scenes work with a wide-angle lens? When persons are first beginning out with images, they usually assume the right lens for the job is a wide-angle. That’s normally the primary piece of kit that individuals rush out to purchase — whether or not it’s the 24-70, and even the broader choices, like 16-35mm or 17-40 f4 relying in your package. And these lenses are unbelievable to have, however I usually discover that individuals don’t know the right way to correctly use them to take gorgeous pictures. There’s one thing to be stated about having the ability to get every part within the body. However there’s some extent the place there’s a lot within the body, that there’s no point of interest. That is what you need to keep away from. Large-angle lenses work finest when you may get near your topic, and nonetheless need to see the foreground and background. Check out the mountaineering picture above. I took this {photograph} in Nevada, and the wide-angle lens is the rationale it seems so dramatic. The lens elongated the rock, making it seem a lot taller than it was in particular person. Nevertheless it additionally had the added impact of constructing the climber seem smaller as they moved additional away. Read more: what is the difference between army reserve and national guard This impact is used on a regular basis in promoting. Take into consideration shoe commercials, the place the photographer makes the shoe look enormous. However then the runner, regardless of being a lot bigger, takes up solely a fraction of the body compared. Taking the identical picture with a telephoto lens would make the shoe seem proportional in dimension to the particular person carrying it. One other frequent instance is in Antelope Canyon and the grand canyon lookouts. In these circumstances, getting low with a wide-angle lens will make the ridges look completely large. See how the ridges just below the arch have shadows alongside the ridges? This impact creates distinction and brings the viewer into the picture. And it solely occurs round dawn and sundown when the solar is lowest within the sky, What’s one of the simplest ways to make use of a wide-angle lens? Most individuals use a wide-angle lens to seize extra of the sky. However that’s not one of the simplest ways to make use of a wide-angle lens. By far one of the simplest ways to make use of a large or ultra-wide-angle lens is to seize the foreground together with the background. Particularly in circumstances like mudflats, fields, or seashores, the place you need to seize as a lot element as doable within the foreground. By angling down your wide-angle lens, you’ll be capable of seize sufficient of the foreground to offer the viewer a way of place. A sky picture could be taken anyplace on this planet, however the floor in entrance of you is what varies. Taking photographs this fashion at sundown or dawn will create extra drama within the picture by elongating the shadows. These shadows present distinction together with the textured areas of the foreground, by darkening one aspect and highlighting the opposite. See the picture of the Mesa Arch on the high of this part for an instance of this impact, the place the dawn mild accentuates this foreground. When your picture wants that contact of drama. When must you put the wide-angle lens away? Large-angle lenses usually are not helpful when your topic is way away. The one exception to this rule is in the event you’re within the Dakotas and your topic is the sky. It is because even the most important objects within the distance will look small when utilizing a wide-angle lens. So in the event you’re on high of a hill, and try to get a picture of a sweeping panorama, a wide-angle lens will truly be extra of a hindrance than a assist. For one, the picture might get crowded if there aren’t main strains, outlined topics, or different shapes that add distinction and convey viewers into the picture. It’s worthwhile to be sure that if you’re making that composition, that it truly has some substance. What pulls your consideration into this scene? Is there a ridge, branches, a fenceline, or one thing that’ll lead your eye to that object? In that case, discover a manner to make use of these strains and emphasize your topic. When you can’t get shut with out breaking the main strains, you then’ll want an extended focal size to carry that component nearer to you. One in all my favourite examples is desert images. It is a case the place the wide-angle lens looks as if the obvious selection. However the reality is, you might want to seize particulars and drama. And whereas there’s loads of drama within the desert, it’s very troublesome to see with a wide-angle lens. That’s why I at all times use a telephoto lens once I’m within the desert — it permits me to make the backgrounds look bigger than life. But, wide-angle lenses make these similar dunes seem like anthills. This picture is pretty much as good as it’s due to a meticulous workflow to get every part completely stage and centered. What issues do Large-Angle lenses create in panorama pictures? You might want to know: what is the predominant fuel used by muscle cells during low- or At this level, we’ve gone over the very best occasions to make use of a wide-angle lens, however we didn’t get into one of the apparent downsides of those items of kit. Large focal lengths usually create distortion within the picture. Now, the higher-end variations just like the 16-25 f2.8 have gotten manner higher over time, however the corners will at all times be much less sharp than the middle, and the strains on the surface of the lens are inclined to get a bit curvy. I edited structure photographs for a few years, and this was the most important problem that we encountered over and over. You want high-quality pictures of small areas, which is the place a wide-angle is meant to shine. However you may solely right these pictures a lot. Whenever you’re photographing metropolis streets, the curvature within the lens turns into much more obvious. Rise up near a park bench to border your picture, and the center part of the again could be barely bent at a weirder form than it ought to have been. You may sit there getting it excellent for hours, however tiny fluctuations in your place will create unfixable points. It’s not as unhealthy as fisheye lenses of the early 2000s or GoPro-level, however it’s simply sufficient to be annoying. In fact, some individuals need these curves of their pictures, as a result of they’ll create drama and attention-grabbing textures that wouldn’t be there some other manner. Right here, as at all times, experimentation is vital. Panoramas are make these pictures come alive, and help you seize a complete scene with an extended focal size. Find out how to get a wider perspective with an extended focal size So at this level, you’re most likely questioning how one can match every part right into a body utilizing an extended focal size. As a result of let’s be actual, there are literally thousands of compositions on the market the place you want a wider focal size to actually make it shine. But when the topic is just too small, it received’t be interesting. And in the event you’re too zoomed in, there’s nothing to actually draw the viewer in, proper? The excellent news is that it’s a simple problem to repair. All you want is an efficient, sturdy tripod, and create panoramas. That is truly a way that I exploit on a regular basis in my images as a result of it solves each issues — get telephoto outcomes with a large discipline of view. The principle factor to contemplate if you’re taking a panorama {photograph} is to show off all computerized settings. It’s worthwhile to maintain the identical white stability in each picture. And the publicity settings like ISO, shutter velocity, and aperture can’t change — in any other case, you’ll find yourself making a patchy picture. When your digicam is regular and stage on the tripod, take the fist picture within the middle of your body. Then pan the digicam to the aspect, overlapping the earlier picture by 25-30% in order that it may be simply mixed in Lightroom or different software program. And take the subsequent shot. It’s also possible to tilt the digicam so that you simply create a picture in a extra common side ratio. Some photographers additionally put the digicam in portrait orientation in order that they get extra vertical real-estate per {photograph}. This could cut back the variety of occasions you need to tilt the digicam, which is the place you’re extra prone to make errors. This method does require a number of apply to get proper! I like to recommend first attempting it via your bed room window, or near residence. That manner you don’t mess up an epic sundown since you forgot to show off the automated settings! Among the best occasions to make use of a wide-angle lens. This stone doesn’t look as massive in particular person because the wide-angle makes it seem. What’s subsequent? If you wish to study extra about capturing panoramas to get previous the problems with wide-angle lenses, I created a useful Youtube video on panoramas right here. My YouTube channel is stuffed with a big number of content material. On the channel, I discuss my images adventures, in addition to plenty of ideas which can be nice for freshmen and even superior panorama photographers. However if you’re prepared to actually get all the way down to enterprise and jumpstart previous all of this, I’ve plenty of images programs that present you the entire strategies that took me from being an newbie to profitable Panorama Photographer of The 12 months again in 2017!

November 5, 2021 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Tags: General Principles, Software Engineering Leave a comment When I was younger we would take our vacations in Arkansas visiting my mom’s family down there. My grandmother who was quite a good singer and who had quite an intuitive gift for music, had an organ in her living room. I can still remember sitting there and playing with it. I couldn’t (still can’t) play music but as with most kids that didn’t stop me from sitting there and making noise. God bless my grandma–she had to have had the patience of a saint or three to put up with my noodling on her organ. At one point though I recall finding a colored piece of cardboard in the compartment of the piano bench. It was something that could be used with a special music book to allow someone who couldn’t read music to pick out a tune by following the colors. The idea was that you set the colored piece of cardboard on the keyboard at a certain position and then by following the colors in a special songbook one could pick out a tune. This seems to be an idea that comes up time and again (as evidenced by this) in teaching music to children. I was so proud of being able to pick out “When The Saints Go Marching In” and have it sound somewhat like the tune should have sounded. I would never in a million years consider that I learned very much musically. In fact it’s probably much more akin to some sort of Skinnerian behavior conditioning (“Ooh–I follow the colors and I get pretty music!”) than real music. But I could pick out a tune. So this is part of my concern with the whole “everyone should learn to code” school of thought. While I think it’s a fine idea I’m afraid there are a number of people coming out of these code camps with the software development analog of knowing how to play the organ by following the colors. That is they can pick out a pleasant tune but without the cardboard they’re lost. Don’t get me wrong–everyone who writes software has to start with baby steps. My concern is that we’re not doing enough to encourage new software developers to move beyond the cardboard color guide of software development and truly understand the dynamics of software development. I’ve seen it more than once or twice–new developers who are utterly lost without intellisense. We need to help people move beyond the rote regurgitation of what they’ve been told to a deeper, richer understanding of the mechanics of what’s going on. If we’re just teaching people to repeat a series of rote steps then while we’re giving them skills for a career change we’re certainly limiting their future prospects in their new career. We owe them better than that. RIP grandma Ruby and thank you for the clarity to sometimes see through the superficial. Intellisense Considered Harmful To Novice Developers March 30, 2021 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering 1 Comment (With apologies to Edsger Dijkstra) I’ve suspected for a while that many of these coding boot camps and other “learn coding in an accelerated way” are turning out people who know just enough to be dangerous. I say this not to be mean or to denigrate these recent graduates; I’ve met a lot of them and they’re good, hard-working people. They’re genuinely trying to make a big career change and that’s always tough. But they come out of these boot camps with a superficial understanding of software development. Since I was training novice developers for a while I often tried to figure out better ways to train people to be software developers. So lately I’ve been reading Felienne Hermans’ The Programmers Brain via the Manning Early Access Program. By the way, full disclosure, I am fortunate enough to count myself among Dr. Hermans’ acquaintances. Brilliant person and doing a lot to help us understand how to teach software development. One thing she mentioned in her book is retrieval practice. I have heard this term in other pedagogical literature. It basically means trying to remember some piece of information without reference to a memory aid. The more you try to retrieve something without a memory aid the better it gets lodged into your long term memory. And when things get embedded in your long term memory you start to see more patterns–that is, roughly speaking, the better your long term memory of things the more likely you are to be able to cope with novel situations. I cannot recall the technical discussions I’ve seen on this but as you learn a subject more deeply you develop something akin to an intuition about how things should work. Dr. Hermans’ mention of retrieval practice finally helped me to articulate something that had been a half-formed thought in my mind for a while. Intellisense and similar technologies–while they are a boon for experienced developers–very likely hinder the learning of novices. This is why I’m starting to consider intellisense harmful–at least for novices trying to learn coding. Because they’re never forced to try to retrieve syntax from memory it doesn’t stick as easily in their long term memory as it did in the days before intellisense. When you’ve got the immediate feedback that you’ve typed syntax wrong and you can monkey around with your code until the red squigglies go away, then you’re never forced to recall syntax. Or least you can delay committing syntax to long term memory much longer. I think we need to seriously reconsider starting novices with Eclipse and Visual Studio. I think rather than helping us to turn out more developers I think this is mainly creating novices that will stay at the novice level much longer than they need to. Empathy and the Other Side of Impostor Syndrome October 2, 2020 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Leave a comment I cannot be sure–I don’t know if there’s any formal diagnostic that a mental health professional can perform to diagnose impostor syndrome (assuming it’s even a recognized mental health concern). So I won’t say that I suffer from impostor syndrome but it’d be hard for me to imagine that I have never felt the effects of it at any point in my life. I was doing training for the last couple of years. The VP of the Training Team–a phenomenal trainer and a pretty good judge of people–said to me that one thing I could do better as a trainer is to be learner focused. That is, to do more to put myself in the learner’s place and thus figure out how to make it easier for them to learn what I was trying to teach. And he’s quite correct–I do have a hard time understanding things from the perspective of someone else. This Can’t Be That Hard!?! One of the causes of impostor syndrome as I understand it is the feeling “it’s just not that hard”. I mean I can recall taking differential calculus and thanks to some excellent instructors it all made sense and it wasn’t that hard to understand. I can recall taking integral calculus and that, likewise, didn’t seem that difficult to understand till we got to a point where they told us to start memorizing tricks to solve certain integrals. That’s where they lost me. But again, due to great instructors, the preliminaries–the idea of a series of polygons under a curve and the sums of the areas of those polygons–well it just seemed obvious. I’m not saying that it’s not tough. I’m not saying that I’m that smart. What I am saying is that when the material seems obvious in some sense of that word, it’s really tough to understand why it isn’t obvious to everyone. Well, of course, as the width of the polygons under the curve approaches zero the approximation of the area under the curve will become more accurate. Well, duh! To me this is the other side of impostor syndrome. That inability to understand how the material could be difficult for anyone to learn or master. That feeling of, well, of course thus and so is true–this can’t be that hard, right?! I’ve had people tell me that they think I’m a good trainer. I have my doubts. Considering that I would ask people about things I’d demonstrated to them just a few weeks before and they’d look at me like I’d grown a third eye, I think I was not a good trainer. I guess time will be the ultimate judge of that. But not being able to empathize with people you’re training because the material just doesn’t seem that difficult to understand doesn’t help the matter. I’d like to flatter myself and think that I was good at explaining things to my learners. But the truth of the matter is that no matter how I approached the materials I was trying to teach (software development and some very basic CS) it’s tough material to master. If it seems obvious to me that’s because I’ve had years of doing it to make mistakes and internalize the explanations for things. Software Development And The False Dilemma September 11, 2020 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Tags: Software Engineering Leave a comment So I started my morning, as I often do, by looking at Twitter. It’s better than a demitasse of espresso in terms of raising my blood pressure. One thing I see over and over again on Twitter is the rather common false dilemma logical fallacy. And this fallacy seems to be in play a lot in software development. We Can’t Test All Of It! This is one of those old saws I’ve heard from multiple developers over multiple years. It goes something like “Well we don’t have time to test thoroughly . . . ” the unstated implication being that if we can’t test “thoroughly” (for whatever definition of thorough that person has in mind) then there’s not much point in testing at all. This is, of course, a false dilemma. There’s quite a bit of value in testing even 10% of a system because that’s 10% more chance you have of finding bugs before your code gets in to the hands of your customers. Now testing costs money. It takes time. But that has to be weighed against the loss of time for customers and the loss of trust. I think the loss of trust is an even larger (if much more difficult) cost than the loss of time. Once a customer stops trusting that your software is mostly right, it’s very hard to regain their trust after the fact. The hasty generalization occurs–one crash makes the entire application suspect from there on out. I Tested And Bugs Still Got By! This is yet another form of the false dilemma. Developers will, sometimes very grudgingly, write unit tests against their code. Then after several iterations they may find a bug. “Well I guess all those unit tests were useless! They didn’t catch this one bug!” And there’s a great excuse not to do the work of writing unit tests any longer, right? Of course this is a false dilemma. Unit tests certainly won’t eliminate the possibility of any bugs. For one thing, the code doesn’t stay static after we write our unit tests. For another, it’s human nature to miss details that need to be checked. Neither of these factors mitigate the value of having a good suite of unit tests. If you find bugs after the fact well add another unit test to catch that bug in the future and congratulate yourself on being a tiny bit wiser about potential bugs in your code! The Comments Lie To You! Another common false dilemma is the notion that once comments get out of date there’s no point in updating them. “Well,” the reasoning goes, “this one comment is obviously incorrect so I won’t bother to read any of them. And there’s no point in correcting the comment either!” I guess as I put more miles under my tires, I get more and more to appreciate the developer who rather than leaving garbage does his or her part to spruce up the code. Maybe you can’t fix the entire code base but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to be gained from fixing the part of the code base you’re currently working on. We Can’t Verify All Of It! One area I’ve been focusing on lately is the idea of formal verification of software. I’ve been playing with Coq and I have found an excellent tutorial on how to use it to formally proven assertions about code. But this seems to be one of those false dilemmas that developers feed themselves. “Hey Onorio, you can’t formally verify the correctness of all of your code so why bother with any of it?” And that’s true. For all but the most trivial applications a full formal verification is pretty expensive and time consuming. But that doesn’t mean that there is no case where some formal verification cannot help build stronger software. Pretend you’re dropped in the middle of landscape you’ve never seen before. You’re offered a map but the map, intentionally, has a lot of details omitted. Would you rather have the incomplete map or nothing? I don’t know about you but I’d consider an incomplete map is still better than absolutely no clue about the landscape. Of course we can’t formally verify entire large software applications–especially applications that interact with human beings. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot verify parts of the application and have some assurance that some parts of our code are formally, provably correct. I guess if I wanted you to take anything from this little thought ramble it’s that “I can’t fix everything” is almost never a justification for not trying to fix anything. The single cleanup here and there will eventually add up to a code base that if not perfect is at least a lot more liveable. Focus And Productivity August 28, 2020 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Tags: self-improvement, Software Engineering Leave a comment So I can recall something that Jeff Atwood said a few years ago about “The Magpie Developer” and it stuck with me. And I’ve heard Robert Martin (aka “Uncle Bob”) discuss “The Churn” which seems to be his feeling of magpie developers constantly seeking shiny new toys. Recently I also spotted this excellent write up on the idea of “Diseases of the Will” on BrainPickings. Seems like the type of person he describes as the “bibliophile” or “polyglot” could describe a lot of software developers. But I don’t think it’s quite as simple or clear-cut as many of us would like it to be. Saying “Well I know <TechnologyX> and therefore I’m going to stick with it because it’s just a tool and any tool can do any job” is not only foolish, it’s counter productive. It’s somewhat analogous to saying “Well I’ve learned to use a wrench and so, therefore, I’m going to use this wrench for every mechanical job I need to do everywhere!” You can drive a nail with a wrench but a hammer makes it a lot easier. So it seems that we need to at least be aware of new ideas in software development even if we decide our best bet is to stick with the technologies we already know. So how do we balance the need to learn new things against the constraints of our limited time? That’s what I want to address here. I don’t know that I have any answers but I certainly have some suggestions. Learning How To Learn One thing that has been impressed upon me again and again is that many of us, i. e. software developers, don’t know the best ways to learn a new subject. For one thing, for a lot of us a lot of technical topics came somewhat easily up to a point. For myself I thought I was pretty good at math until I hit integral calculus. I really struggled with integral calculus. Partly I wasn’t terribly motivated to learn it at the time and partly I really didn’t have any study habits to speak of because I’d never really needed them. As I am sure people reading this essay will understand it’s probably one of the worst feelings I’ve ever felt to be unable to understand math immediately. If I had developed some sort of study habits I wouldn’t have been so badly thrown. If I had a bit less pride and admitted to myself that I could stand with some tutoring, I wouldn’t have been so badly thrown. My point is that lifelong learning is an essential part of being a software developer so it’s worth your time to invest a bit in discovering good study habits if you don’t already possess them. Making Time For Learning Another essential ingredient of acquiring new skills is setting aside time to do it. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that sets a great deal of importance in training its employees. They expect all of us to set aside 5 hours a month solely for learning. Not every company is that enlightened. Of course the time for learning has to be balanced with time for other things. More importantly, time for learning can become an excuse for avoiding things we don’t want to do so it does make sense to set a time limit on your learning and try your best to stick to that time budget. What Should I Learn This is, to me, one of the essential questions that a technologist must ask herself or himself. Given we only have limited time to acquire new skills and given that we don’t want to waste that most precious commodity, time, what should we focus ourselves on? One answer I’ve heard trotted out repeatedly is to chase the next big trend. Right now the next big trend seems to be machine learning and artificial intelligence. I’m tempted to put those two terms in quotes because I think they are among some of the worst names for an idea since someone decided to call our genetic material colored bodies (chromosomes). But I digress. My answer to the question “what should I learn?” is–learn whatever interests you. There will always be some shiny new technology to chase so don’t spend your life trying to learn the latest fad. In that I do believe that I do agree with Uncle Bob. But even if I say learn whatever interests you, I can improve that recommendation a bit more. Learn something that interests you that is fundamentally stretching your mind. Are you the best C# developer at your company? Learn F#. Functional programming is a pretty dramatic paradigm shift from OO. They are not orthogonal to each other (as everyone seems to think they are) but rather they complement each other in nice ways. Of course if you’re really very interested in learning another OO language, that’s fine too. But I think it’s safe to say that one grows himself or herself more through fundamentally different approaches than through learning new variations on the same theme. Detroit Tech Watch 1.0 March 15, 2019 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Leave a comment Last year I had several friends inquire if I was going to stage another DetroitDevDay. I had taken over from my dear friend Dave McKinnon and I had run it for a couple of go-rounds. Honestly though, I was getting a bit worried that DetroitDevDay was becoming almost YADLTC (Yet Another Day Long Tech Conference). It’s wonderful to see the explosion of tech focused events here in Detroit and I am truly gratified to see so much going on here but where did DetroitDevDay fit in that picture? That was the question I was struggling to answer. There are good .Net oriented conferences now. There are good Java oriented events (although truth be told they’re mostly Android/Google events). What could DetroitDevDay do to contribute something different–something worthwhile? Then I hit on it; I want to talk about what’s coming next and I want to talk about it with other developers who want to look at what’s coming up to see if there’s value in it. And that’s where Detroit Tech Watch was born. So why not just stick with C# or Java? I think a lot of developers are in the position of doing C# or Java because it pays the bills. That’s not a knock on either technology stack; it’s simply become somewhat de rigeur to pick one stack or the other and then use it for everything. But we all know that there was a time before OO and C++ and its progeny. And there will be a time afterward as well. COBOL was once cutting edge–now it’s legacy. Another interesting development (and to be quite frank a bit concerning) is the rise of coding bootcamps and “You too can be a developer!” While this is absolutely terrific in terms of giving people an opportunity to better their lives, in terms of wages it’s going to drive the wages of C# and Java developers down. That’s not a noble or unselfish reason to look at stuff beyond C# and Java but it is a fact. At some point if we don’t pick up our heads and look for what’s coming next we risk becoming the software developer analog of KMart, Sears, Circuit City, Newsweek Magazine etc. etc.–that is, disrupted right out of business. The trick is not to see what’s coming next. The trick is to spot what’s upcoming that has real value and get on it. And that’s tough. So we (Mike Onslow who is really a heck of a smart guy and I) are going to try DetroitTechWatch 1.0. Even though it is 1.0 it’s really sort of DetroitDevDay 8.0 with a different emphasis. We really hope that if you’re interested in hearing about what’s coming next you’ll join us. Or you’ll submit a talk. Or both! Save The Date March 13, 2019 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Leave a comment We (the folks who previously put on the DetroitDevDay conference) are going to be starting a new annual event on June 29, 2019 at TechTown in Detroit. I will share more details here as I get them but I wanted to make sure folks are aware. Anecdotal Evidence September 12, 2018 By Onorio Catenacci in Software Engineering Leave a comment I’ve been having a conversation with some folks on Twitter about their evidence that mob programming makes Brooks’ Law irrelevant. Someone offered evidence based upon his own experience that mob programming breaks this rule. I hope I’m not mischaracterizing his argument. That is, I don’t think he’s saying that mob programming negates Brooks’ Law–I think he’s saying that multiple programmers can work faster via mob programming. I had pointed out that while his experience is certainly evidence it’s anecdotal evidence. This is not to belittle the importance of anecdotal evidence. It is to make a distinction between experimental evidence and anecdotal. I’ll relate an example that I hope will help to clarify my thinking on this point. I’ve raised domesticated pigeons for a good portion of my life. I know lots of folks who race their pigeons (I do not). I was told that one of the old sachems of pigeon breeding, a gentleman named Joe Quinn, was trying to convince breeders to vaccinate their birds. He was having a hard time convincing the racers to vaccinate their birds and as a result, flocks were getting hit with easily preventable diseases. So he hit upon an idea. He convinced one of the better breeders to let him (Joe) vaccinate his flock at no charge. The breeder didn’t mind since it was free. At the end of the season the other fanciers asked the master breeder what was his secret of winning races. The master breeder said that he did pretty much what everyone else did (that is, training, selective breeding etc.) but he did get his flock vaccinated. The next season all of the fanciers wanted to get their flock vaccinated. This is what I mean by anecdotal evidence. Did the vaccinations make a difference? Of course they did–they protected the birds against preventable diseases. But did the vaccinations make a difference in the races? That’s more debatable. Experimental evidence would be vaccinating half of the flock and leaving the other half unvaccinated and then comparing how the birds raced at the end of the season. Of course everything else would need to be held equal–equal diet, equal training, equal housing etc. The result would be experimental evidence that the vaccination either made the birds race faster or not. As it stands however, saying vaccinating the flock made the birds race faster is anecdotal evidence. Heck we might even be able to prove it had no effect by looking at the race times pre-vaccination and post-vaccination–although there are likely to be other complicating factors present. The thing is it’s really hard to do a double-blind study this way when it comes to software development because there are just too many other factors to try to hold equal. If one team uses mob programming and they’re more productive–well was it the mob programming that made them more productive or was it that they had an easier task to accomplish or was it the fact that the team had long experience together or so forth and so on. So we’re mostly stuck with anecdotal evidence when it comes to software development because producing experimental evidence is so difficult. As I said on Twitter I’m not doubting the anecdotal evidence–I’m just doubting that mob programming is the sole difference. The fact, all by itself, that a team is willing to try mob programming probably indicates a team more receptive to trying new ideas and hence possibly more productive for that reason alone. I’m not doubting that mob programming is beneficial; while I don’t have experimental evidence to prove it, I also believe it’s a good idea. Grow-Only Set In C# June 21, 2018 By Onorio Catenacci in Functional Programming, Software Engineering Tags: C#, code, crdt Leave a comment So I’ve been trying to keep my development skills somewhat sharp by working on coding up certain data structures in C#. Course I’d rather do this with F# or even some more interesting FP language (Elm anyone?) but I do have a need to be able to show this code to student developers and the students I get know C#. So there are a few things: 1.) I found it hard to find an abstract discussion of these CRDT data structures. This article on Wikipedia is fine but there’s some math notation there that I find a bit tough to read. I suppose I need to do a bit more digging. 2.) It’s a bit of an impedance mismatch to try to build a read-only data structure in an imperative language. OO especially doesn’t really seem to fit the idea of returning new data (as opposed to mutating in place) as well as it might. Still we soldier on as best we can. Without any further ado here’s my code. using System.Collections.Generic; using System; using System.Linq; namespace CRDT { public class GrowOnlySet<T> { private readonly HashSet<T> payload; public GrowOnlySet() { payload = new HashSet<T>(); } public GrowOnlySet(HashSet<T> newstore) { payload = newstore ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(newstore)); } public HashSet<T> GetPayload() => new HashSet<T>(payload); public GrowOnlySet<T> Add(T element) { payload.Add(element); return new GrowOnlySet<T>(GetPayload()); } public bool Lookup(T element) => payload.Contains(element); public bool Compare(GrowOnlySet<T> other) => (other == null) ? false : other.GetPayload().IsSubsetOf(payload); public GrowOnlySet<T> Merge(GrowOnlySet<T> other) { if(other == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(other)); return new GrowOnlySet<T>(new HashSet<T>(payload.Union(other.GetPayload()))); } } } I would greatly appreciate any comments that folks with a deeper knowledge of CRDT data structures may care to share. Some Advice To The Young Lions June 19, 2018 By Onorio Catenacci in PointOfView, Software Engineering Tags: advice Leave a comment While I’ve done a lot of things that I now regret, I can say that I’ve been somewhat blessed to have learned from some of my mistakes. So please believe that this advice comes from sad experience and that I’m just trying to help some folks avoid the career limiting moves that I have made over the years. 1.) There will be politics. Unless you work in a one-man shop consisting of yourself and yourself alone there’s going to be politics. And to be clear when I say “politics” I mean decisions made not because of some valid technical justification but rather made because someone’s friend’s kid needs a job or because some leader still holds a grudge against another leader from 10 years ago. It’s a fact of life. It’s annoying. Do your best to do the best job you can and accept that even though it’s galling there will be lots of decisions made based not on technical merit but based on prejudices, biases and plain old ignorance. If you’ve explained why one course of action has more technical merit than another and they still choose the less technically meritorious approach, you can look yourself in the mirror and know you’ve done what you can. 2.) Don’t dwell on the negatives. While it’s good to have your eyes wide open and see things as they truly are, if you’re constantly focused on the bad decisions and the arbitrary annoyances, you won’t change them but you will make yourself very unhappy. Again, in any situation you work in there are going to be downsides. If you focus on the downsides to the exclusion of everything else, you’ll just make yourself angry and you won’t accomplish very much at all. 3.) Don’t bifurcate the world. As much as we wished the world were a nice definite composition of black and white, it isn’t. Good people do bad things (all the time) and bad people sometimes do the right thing in spite of the fact they’re bad. Life is ambiguous; deal with it. Don’t be too quick to judge someone as good or bad or smart or dumb because people are contradictory creatures.

There’s encouraging news about ending the decades-old conflict between India and Pakistan. At the United Nations, the leaders of both nations recently expressed their desire for peaceful coexistence, and called for confidence-building measures. How crucial is this development for the United States? Extremely. The war against terrorism cannot be won without stability in South Asia. Now is the time for the United States to intensify its efforts to help establish peace between the two rivals. India and Pakistan are both armed with nuclear weapons. The two nations have frequently exchanged gunfire in the region of Kashmir, which both claim. In 2002, when hundreds of thousands of Indian and Pakistani troops massed on their respective borders, war seemed imminent. South Asia was on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. The crisis subsided but the urgent need for peace between the two adversaries remained. How can the United States aid the Indian-Pakistani peace process? By means of an old Cold War initiative, originally proposed by the United States. In 1955, in the midst of the Cold War, President Eisenhower presented a diplomatic surprise to the Soviet Union. Why not allow both the Americans and Soviets to fly unarmed aerial observation missions over each other’s military facilities? Such a move, the president surmised, could reduce the possibility of secret military preparations and help build trust through transparency. As Eisenhower stated, “Open Skies” would have the effect of “lessening danger and relaxing tension” between the two heavily armed rivals. The Soviets didn’t accept Eisenhower’s idea in 1955. In fact, it took nearly 40 years to implement it. In 1992 the United States, Russia and other European nations signed the Open Skies Treaty allowing unarmed aerial observation missions over the respective territories of each nation. A similar arrangement would benefit India and Pakistan, who fear each other’s military might. Open Skies missions would provide that Indian and Pakistani officials work together on observation flights. This type of cooperation would set the groundwork for future disarmament agreements. Increased cooperation was Eisenhower’s intention when he unveiled Open Skies. He said at the time, “What I propose, I assure you, would be but a beginning.” His proposal was not by itself going to end the Cold War. It was a confidence-building measure similar to what India and Pakistan have called for at the United Nations. A joint Indian-Pakistani statement emphasized that such measures could develop “an atmosphere of trust and mutual understanding.” This was the very basis of Eisenhower’s original Open Skies proposal during the Cold War. The security of the United States is greatly affected by relations between India and Pakistan. A successful war on terrorism cannot be carried out without stability in South Asia. Pakistan and Afghanistan form the major front on the war against terrorists. The remnants of al-Qaida, and possibly Osama bin Laden himself, are in that area. For the international community to finish off al-Qaida, uninterrupted cooperation from Pakistan is a necessity. An escalating conflict with India would only draw Pakistani attention and resources from the war on terrorism. The United States must use its best diplomatic tools, such as Open Skies, to assist India and Pakistan. The use of diplomatic measures, great and small, cannot be overlooked as an essential tool against terrorism. The furthering of peace and economic prosperity worldwide will make terrorism less likely to prosper. There are other reasons for the United States to be heavily active in promoting peace between India and Pakistan. The gravest risk facing South Asia is nuclear war. Both India and Pakistan tested nuclear weapons in 1998 and possess effective missile capability. One nuclear strike could kill millions and bring about a nightmare of unimaginable proportions. A step-by-step process toward nuclear disarmament in South Asia is imperative. Clearly, a stable Pakistan at peace with India is in the best interests of the entire world. Adopting an Open Skies agreement will help create the atmosphere India and Pakistan need to resolve their disputes. Its successful implementation would set a formidable model for arms control and peace that other regions of the globe could emulate. The United States and NATO can offer considerable expertise to help formulate the agreement. An Open Skies initiative will help lay the foundation for amicable relations between India and Pakistan. This is one of many steps that will be needed to achieve peace in South Asia. The stakes are high. A failure to resolve the differences between India and Pakistan will prolong tension in South Asia, increase the chance for war and rob valuable time and resources from the fight against terrorism.

Twilight and Catalina Island | Main | Wardens Arrest Two Repeat Abalone Poachers » 05/25/2012 Hook Buzz spears big seabass near Palos Verdes kelp Sunday was a great day for the guys from Hook Buzz as they scored two fat white seabass freediving for white seabass near the rich kelp forests of Palos Verdes. With overcast skies and 67 degree water last Sunday, Brad Monclova and Kirk McNulty speared two beautiful croakers. Monclova's fish weighed in at 44.1-pounds and McNulty's topped the scales at 43.8-pounds. Clark McNulty did not get a prize this day but feeling a tad left out returned to the area on Monday and tagged a 25-pound seabass. McNulty said he had been out several times during the past week aand had several great chances but no luck. "I just missed a yellowtail the other day had shot a big seabass recently that broke free and swam away." McNulty and friends spent a great deal of time trying to locate that speared fish in 50-feet of water with no success. "I didn't want to see that fish go to waste so we worked really hard to find it," said McNulty. "We just couldn't find it." On Sunday, the trio started in an area with very poor visibility. They made a mere 200 yard move, found improved visibility and were greeted with the sounds they were looking for upon entering the water. "I head the seabass croaking immediately," said McNulty. White seabass have the ability to make a croaking noise, hence they have the nickname croakers. "It wasn't long before I heard a snap and my brother had speared one," said McNulty. "Shortly after that I surfaced and saw Brad (Monclova) towing another big fish." The guys at Hook Buzz invite you to post your latest photos forum.hookbuzz.com and stories anytime.

The FireBoard is superior in my experience and view. 6 ports for the FB, 4 for the Signals. The FB uses a better cloud-based session tracking and history - unlimited for the FB, accessible via browser or app on just about every device. The Signals has a history limit and requires downloading the data. The FB has real-time notes and photos you can add during your sessions. There are a few more, but those are the standouts to me. Plus the FB can drive a fan as a controller for temp control on kettles and such. The Signals is a good WiFi device, just not up to the feature list and capabilities of the FB IMHO. 5 likes Comment Post Cancel 1 - 3 3 comments #2.1 ofelles commented September 21, 2020, 01:40 PM Editing a comment ditto #2.2 kenrobin commented September 21, 2020, 08:38 PM Editing a comment I third that opinion. #2.3 Spinaker commented September 21, 2020, 08:56 PM Editing a comment Good points TripleB Club Member Joined: May 2017 Posts: 1093 Location: La Crescenta Jambo Backyard Smoker Weber Smokey Mountain (22" & 18.5") Portable Kitchen 360 Portable Kitchen Grill Pit Barrel Cooker Weber "Brownie" Circa 1978 22" Weber Gas Grill, Silver A BBQ Guru ATC Favorite Beer: Peroni Favorite Sports Teams: Rams, Dodgers, Kings, UCLA Bruins #3 September 21, 2020, 02:28 PM I have both and GolfGeezer nailed it.

Comment Post Cancel tiewunon Club Member Joined: May 2020 Posts: 522 Location: Virginia Beach, Va #5 September 21, 2020, 04:21 PM - I had both. Got rid of the Signals and got the FBx11 and recently updated to the FB2. - Though I like both Fireboards and everything it offers I would recommend shopping around at the different fan options. There is no doubt that the Fireboard offers a good fan but for me that 20cfm fan is too big for a Kamado. Yes I understand fully you can limit fan output but why should I have to do that. - One thing about Fireboard since they have teamed up with Yoder they have kept improving the product and adding additional functionality. - One last thing that may help in a decision is I have read but can't confirm that eventually the FB2 will be able to control 2 fans. If this comes to fruition it will fill a void that Stoker used to fill. - Lastly I don't want you to think I am a Fireboard homer. I like both of mine but as far as temperature control goes with a Kamado the Smobot runs circles around it. Data logging etc Fireboard wins. Last edited by tiewunon; September 21, 2020, 04:22 PM.

It was fun to build and I really respect the dude that still runs the project. However, I got really tired of always chasing probe interference and compatibility issues, so I jumped on the KickStarter for Fireboard when I saw it. I loved my original Fireboard and recently upgraded to a Fireboard 2 Drive. I used it all the time at first, then with my pellet grills the past couple years having WiFi of their own, I only use it for long pellet cooks (6 hours plus I'd say), but I do use it almost every time I fire up the WSCG and usually with the fan. I've never had a problem other than one pit probe going bad and I probably caused that by getting it wet or something. At the time they started Fireboard was a good deal ahead of anything else on the market for WiFi stability, tracking, notifications, etc. I think others are catching up, but I have no reason to consider even checking them out. I feel the others are still trying to catch all the way up to the FB. My Fireboard is the most reliable tech gadget I have for cooking. I never have quirky random WiFi problems with it, it just always works. My favorite feature is the high and low alarms parameters, multiple alerting options (SMS, push, e-mail, etc.) and the nagging. I'm a heavy sleeper, so having it repeat every 5-10 minutes usually gets the wife to smack me to wake up if something goes wrong with an overnight cook. A lot of apps have just push notifications that are a quick beep and no repeats, etc. Not sure where the Signals is in this regard. Plus all of the other features others have already pointed out. Also, I've run several cooks now pushing a fan without being hooked up to power. I don't know how long it will run, but I've done a couple 3-5 hour cooks this way.

Proceedings of the Twenty Third International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, PMLR 108:298-308, 2020. Abstract Deep learning methods continue to have a decided impact on machine learning, both in theory and in practice. Statistical theoretical developments have been mostly concerned with approximability or rates of estimation when recovering infinite dimensional objects (curves or densities). Despite the impressive array of available theoretical results, the literature has been largely silent about uncertainty quantification for deep learning. This paper takes a step forward in this important direction by taking a Bayesian point of view. We study Gaussian approximability of certain aspects of posterior distributions of sparse deep ReLU architectures in non-parametric regression. Building on tools from Bayesian non-parametrics, we provide semi-parametric Bernstein-von Mises theorems for linear and quadratic functionals, which guarantee that implied Bayesian credible regions have valid frequentist coverage. Our results provide new theoretical justifications for (Bayesian) deep learning with ReLU activation functions, highlighting their inferential potential.

Marzipan (marchpane, marzapane, maçapão, mazapán) is a ground paste of almond flour, sugar, honey, and often has added almond essence (almond extract) to make a strong almond flavor. Low-carb marzipan has a smooth texture for making candies and decorating fruit cakes, wedding cakes, Christmas cakes, or to be used inside stollen, almond croissants, and cookies. What is almond paste? Almond paste is made using equal quantities of almonds and sugar. It often has small quantities of added corn syrup, eggs, heavy cream, and cooking oil. It is not as fine a texture as marzipan and is most commonly used as a filling for cookies, muffins, buns, and almond-filled croissants. What is almond candy dough? This is a name commonly used in America. Almond candy dough is a mixture of almonds, sugar, glucose syrup, and water. It is used exactly the same way marzipan would be used. What is fondant? Fondant is a mixture of sugar, water, and often glycerin and gelatin. Fondant can be rolled and used to decorate birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and shaped into animals and candies.

The recipe calls for powdered sweetener but if you don’t have that, place granulated sweetener into your coffee grinder and pulse until you have made homemade powdered sweetener. The most common sweeteners are powdered erythritol, allulose, monk fruit, or a mixture of them. You can use liquid sweetener but you may need to reduce how much water you add to the keto marzipan recipe. Almond extract – or almond essence. These give your marzipan a concentrated almond taste. You may also want to use rose water as an optional extra if you wish. How to make your own almond flour How to make homemade almond flour. If you don’t have almond flour you can use ground almonds, almond meal, or you can make your own homemade almond flour. Make sure you buy blanched almonds that have had the almond skins removed. Place whole blanched almonds into your food processor and process until you reach the texture you require. Be careful not to over-process. There is a fine balance between when you have created fine almond flour but if you process it for too long, you will make almond butter. How to make sugar-free marzipan This has to be the easiest sugar-free marzipan recipe. There are so many delicious keto treats and exciting ways to eat marzipan, you’ll wonder why you ever bought it until now. 1: Place the ingredients into the bowl of your food processor.

There is no added sugar, glucose syrup, or additives, or preservatives in homemade marzipan made with almond flour. Many store-bought marzipans are now called almond-flavored paste because they contain so few almonds and are predominantly made with sugar. What to do if my marzipan is too dry? Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time to the food processor as it is running until the almond flour dough resembles wet bread crumbs. What to do if my marzipan is too wet? Add a bit more almond flour (1 teaspoon) at a time to the food processor as it is running until the almond flour dough resembles wet bread crumbs. Can I heat marzipan? Marzipan doesn’t need cooking or baking but it can be cooked inside recipes such as muffins, buns, cookies, and cakes. If your marzipan has gone hard and you want to soften it, you can microwave for 10 seconds at a time until it softens but be careful as the almond paste can easily overheat. Can I freeze marzipan? Yes, wrap in plastic wrap or baking parchment then store in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 6 months. Are there eggs in marzipan? Traditional marzipan contains raw egg white but my recipe is egg-free. This makes it perfect if you are allergic to eggs or you are scared to eat raw eggs.

August 31, 2019 August 28, 2019 René A. Bancroft Whoa y’all! Today, August 31, 2019 is my 4th anniversary of writing my blog! To date I’ve written about 165,000 words. That’s a lot of words! {cue the Confetti!!} One thing that I love is to celebrate and everything is worth celebrating! My mother-in-law has often told me that she loves how I can make every holiday and any milestone a celebration. I mean, I’m a Type 2 on the enneagram, so go figure! But I just had to look up what the traditional anniversary gift for “year 4” was and amazingly, it kind of sums up what I feel about writing this blog. So the traditional gifts are fruit, flowers, linen, and silk. Fruit & Flowers ~ “…flowers represent the growth and blossoming of the relationship, and subsequent ripening as symbolized by fruit. Flowers nurture the soul, and fruit nourishes the body…” The geranium & hydrangea are flowers associated with year 4…the more positive and meaningful symbols of the geranium are comfort and gentility of a true friend. The hydrangea’s more positive symbols [are] gratefulness, ‘thank you for your understanding’, pride and appreciation. Linen & Silk ~ “In biblical times, garments crafted from fine linen represented truths from the Divine, given that fine linen worn by holy figures was of the purest white and also lustrous (eg, angels in the bible are described as wearing fine white linen), hence, the symbolism of truth…Silk…is connected with items that are…the comfortable flow and connection between [people]. The saying “as smooth as silk” further represents good times ahead in the relationship. {https://www.eternityrose.com/4th-wedding-anniversary-gift-ideas} Through this blog, I have experienced personal and spiritual growth, gained deeper friendships, and become increasingly grateful for this writer’s gift the Lord has given me. I strive to be someone who writes the truth not for self-gratification but for the joy of shining light on the goodness of the Father. I write how I speak. When I sit down, I imagine that you are sitting across from me at a cozy little coffee shop. My hearts desire is to meet you right where you are at. To encourage you that you can stand when you are feeling fragile; to cry when you are feeling pain; to draw strength from the Lord when you feel discouraged; to firmly believe that you are fearfully and wonderfully made and God has a great and mighty plan for you right now! I can tell you that every single word has been from my heart ~ prompted by a desire from the Lord to share my story with everyone who reads it, in the hope to point you to Jesus! When I am able to sit down at my computer and have a blog ready to publish in about 2 hours, I know that I do not write alone. It’s something that astonishes me every single time. I feel the Holy Spirit lay something on my heart, and my mind begins to swirl. I pray before each blog ~ to hear God’s voice and type it out on the page through my words. I’ve written on so many topics; it’s hard to pinpoint my “writer’s perspective”. I’ve had people ask me “Well, what is your blog about?” I’m usually a deer in the proverbial headlights for a second and then answer, “Whatever God wants me to write about.” I’m in no way being glib…it’s just the truth. From marriage, to kids, to empty-nesting, to friendship, to verses in the Bible, mistakes & triumphs, and topical issues ~ it’s all here…all 114 blogs worth. My biggest encouragers & supporters are my fabulous family! They are so kind when I send out a family text with, “Hey everyone…I just published another blog” and add in the link. After I had been writing for almost one year, my middle daughter saw me checking my blog stats for the millionth time that month. She quietly asked me, “Why do you check your stats so often? Does it really matter how many people are reading your blog?” Um, well, sure it does. I believed then as I do know that God leads to me write every single one. I rationalized that I was simply seeing how many were reading them since God gave me this gift, He must have huge plans for them! Right?! Even as the words to my daughter tumbled out of my mouth, I felt embarrassed. Side note…having adult children is a trip! Let me just tell you to hold on to your seats…it’s a great ride and it’s never dull! So, my daughter gave me a challenge ~ to not check my stats for a month. I thought it would easier to simply take my app off my phone, but that would be too easy. I left the app there because I still wanted the availability to open it up real quick when inspiration hit. But I did it…I didn’t check the stats for 30 days and it was so liberating. I was able to come back to the place of writing for the audience of One. To write back to the Lord the words He was so graciously putting on my heart to share with you. I’m so grateful how my oldest daughter sat with me for an hour (granted it was for a school assignment) and led me through a goal-making session. I’d never really done that before and it felt so good to accomplish those goals. I prayed over my accountability team and am humbled to say that all three of my friends are still “in it” with me! I’ve given myself grace when I haven’t kept up with my weekly blog posts…cuz…life. I’ve maintained connection between what I’ve written about and the validity of God’s word and the truth of His Scripture. I write because I can’t not write. I share my stories because I’m the only who can. I become vulnerable with my readers to remind them that they are not alone in this world; they aren’t the “only ones” struggling. I want to connect with you because we are way more than the house we live in, the car we drive, the schools our kids went to, the job we have or don’t have, the balance in our bank account, the fab Instagram pics on our feed…and so on and so on. We are together a collection of beautiful creations made in the image of God. And seriously, I think sitting at a coffee shop with a friend for hours and hours, is one of love languages ~ so let’s meet up!! If we were sitting across from each other sharing our hearts, I would tell you how much you are loved by the Lord. I would squeeze your hand and tell you that you are gonna be okay. I would thank you for listening to my words and I would thank you for sharing yours with me. And huge thanks to my youngest daughter who has patiently taught me the basic nuances of canva and creating better graphics! I’ll be going to her for future graphic design help in the future (stay tuned!) I can hardly wait to see what is coming next for me in this ministry. Writing, speaking, traveling, and some new things on the horizon ~ God is the great organizer and His timing is always perfect! I’d love for you to continue along for the ride ~ and to ask for your prayers as I navigate into this next year. Psalm 121:8 declares, “The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do] From this time forth and forever.“ What is it that you are called to do? Why not start today! You are needed to share with your community and circles of influence. You are the only one who can tell your story, so tell it girl! Let today be your anniversary of saying yes!
