Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Foggy Windows
Your windows play a very important role in your home…they are your inside connection to the outside world.
Along with that they play a very structural role, they keep the physical outside out, keep warmth and comfort in and are very critical to keeping your utility bills down.
That being said, whenever there is a problem with your windows, getting them repaired should be at the top of your list.
If your windows are double paned, and they are accumulating condensation between them (they look wet or foggy), you can be sure that the seals around the edges of the glass have failed. If you have single paned windows, the problem is also a bad or missing seal issue.
Reasons why ignoring foggy windows is a bad idea…
- They impact your indoor air quality – Windows whose seals are broken and have gone foggy, can allow moist air into your home, which can lead to the promotion of mold and mildew growth and reduce your IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). As spores from mold or mildew float around your home, they make their way into your respiratory system where they can cause health problems, especially if someone is already experiencing respiratory illness.
- Additionally, the air that your HVAC releases into your home is filtered, as opposed to the air that might leak in from the outside that is full of contaminants.
- FYI…You may not realize it, just as foggy windows can cause health issues, dirty windows can be the cause health issues also.
- They can cause water damage – Although they may seem harmless, they aren’t necessarily. The moisture they can allow into your home can lead to rotting window sills, damage to the floor below the window, and other moisture related damage.
- They strain your heating and air conditioning system – The purpose of your HVAC system is to keep the comfort level of your home stable…warm in the winter and cool in the summer. But if your windows are leaking in air from the outside, your system needs to work harder to maintain the temperatures you have set, and that leads to higher energy costs. This type of extra work for your HVAC system can also reduce your unit’s lifespan.
Although I don’t repair windows, I can alert you if I see any problems…
I have been cleaning windows in the Seattle area for nearly 30 years, and quite frankly, I enjoy it! I can also help you with your gutters and other outside tasks. I will be happy to answer all of your questions, and I know the mistakes to avoid. I clean private homes or apartment complexes.

Heartbroken Over Change
- Majors’ Reaction: In an interview with TMZ, Majors, 34, expressed his heartbreak over the news that Downey Jr. will portray Doctor Doom in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. The film was originally slated to feature Majors as Kang, the Conqueror, before it was renamed and Majors was dropped.

Tracking And Locating Sex Offenders
Sex offenders commit some of the worst types of crimes that can be identified within the criminal justice system. Many sex offenders obtain this label by becoming predators of children. The public has a right to know the location of these criminals by performing a sex offenders search. Canada recently addressed the importance of this notion by now requiring that convicted offenders notify Canadian authorities prior to traveling outside the country. This new condition allows Canadian officials to alert the destination country of the arrival of a convicted Canadian sex offender.
This new found sense of urgency by Canadian officials’ further promises a more streamlined and accessible national database. This will enhance a sex offenders search performed by the general public when using the new and efficient database that was originally pieced together with poor navigation. High risk child sex offenders will be easily highlighted by the database. The new measures will be incorporated in a legislative act outlining penalties for offenders to be reviewed by Parliament in the fall.
These regulations will ensure that parole and probation officers along with convicted sex offenders alert police of any international travel plans well in advance of the dates of travel. Canadian border guards will be advised by police under identifiable circumstances to inform the destination country that a dangerous offender will be arriving shortly. The new procedures will display the seriousness that Canadian officials take toward the tracking and locating of dangerous sex offenders on an international level. The overall communication between officials at all levels of government is expected to improve exponentially with these measures in place.

Several blogs ago I posted about a drypoint print I made called My Secret is Out and Janine Browne has written a beautiful piece responding to my work. Every person who looks at an artwork takes their own experience to it, seeing from a different angle. Janine’s insightful writing is an example of this and I really enjoyed reading her interpretation of my work, she actually wrote two pieces which are both below. Janine has made some beautiful drypoint prints herself and is also book maker whose artwork and books have helped many overcome life’s difficulties, a link to her blog “The Black Dog Project is at the bottom of the page. Her second story called “The Fringe” is my favourite.
Shana’s art titled, ’My Secret is Out’, for me personally strongly reflects the struggle of ‘fitting in’, of feeling like an outsider, but also the comfort and content of being alone with
one’s self – in your own space and world.
People on the ‘outside’ are often viewed, as is their existence there, as inferior, less significant—small. But this image reinforces for me the relevance (and beauty) of that space. Small and undefined as it may be, it exists, it’s relevant—as are those who dwell within it.
The image also gives rise to the notion that perhaps being an outsider has its own power. Perhaps there are benefits to living ‘in-between’ worlds—or within a world of your own. A place from which to quietly observe and reflect on the darkness and then to the bright offerings—and their trappings and confinements. An advantaged place where you become the watcher—not the one being watched. A neutral space where the pull of ins and outs, ups and downs dissipates, the loudness quietens—the scream subsides.
And then, when I trace the glow of aura around the cage up through the bird, it feels like there is a lid to this space for leaving and returning home again. There’s a great comfort in the movement—the comings and goings. A place where you are no longer stuck. You are nestled snugly in your own world. Your own space. Your own self.
And this story called, ‘The Fringe’…
Within the aura that surrounds the cage, ‘My Secret is Out’ seems to offer an ‘in-between’. A visual divide between worlds. A ‘barely there’ space that exists so temptingly between the spotlight, which can feel cage-like—and the darkness, which can be all consuming. Both of these spaces, these worlds, strongly influence who we are and how we feel. To be able to escape them, in ‘the fringe’, is deeply consoling.
‘The fringe’ with its lack of definition, makes me wonder if we really need to construct such clearly defined spaces (or zones of safety) within which to be ourselves, live our lives and feel a sense of place.
‘The fringe’, although it seems to have movement, isn’t straining towards the temptations
of the highly illuminated world (its trappings and traps), nor is it pushing back hard against the darkness. It is its simple existence, between spotlight and darkness, that seems to offer an infinite sense of potential. A realm for drawing from all that surrounds us perhaps, while maintaining an individual presence. A place to move and grow in unspecified and unconstructed directions to unexpected, unknown places. A strong sense of space and place.
The ‘glow’ of the fringe, feels like a power source within itself. A current of potential, and provider of energy to harness, hold onto and grow it.
The bird seems to also have a place within ’the fringe’, and its presence here seems to be offering a pathway, via its aura, perhaps to another existence— beyond what we see, and know and can ever imagine.
And when you look into the bird’s human eye, your mind opens wider too, and you wonder if it’s symbolic of its own evolutionary journey from the mergence (or clash) of worlds. Its escape. And you imagine it’s perched to take your secrets under wing – loosening their grip. With the release of the secret and the halt of the whisper, hope rises. Your mind opens to another world, another way—and the bird invites you to travel ….

If you’ve seen the sitcom Big Bang Theory, you’re probably familiar with a guy named Wil Wheaton who goes by his real name in the show. His character (which is actually himself) is a real conniving, manipulative and vindictive jerk. In a case of life imitates art imitating life, Weaton is a jerk in real, real life too. As Americans are being beheaded, he thinks Republicans are making a big deal out of nothing.
Via the Daily Caller:
Actor Wil Wheaton, star of “Deep Core,” sees ISIS — the terrorist army known for beheading people, including Americans, executing prisoners, raping and selling into sexual slavery the women they capture — as an election year ploy created by Republicans to scare voters.
The actor from “Neverland” declared on Twitter, “Republicans are spending a lot of effort trying to scare Americans about ISIS. Probably just a coincidence that there’s an election soon.”
There you have it, America, the most heavily armed and well-funded terrorist group the planet has ever known is simply a figment of Republican electioneering.
Here is Wheaton being a jerk (after all, he is playing himself):

Based around a core musical duo known simply as ‘J’ and ‘T’ who expand to a thrilling seven piece live band, Jungle make mesmeric, modern soul with true global appeal. "Jungle" can be described as a complex mixture of things and the London based collective have claimed the moniker because their music conveys just that. Combining what The Guardian notes as “tribal in terms of rhythm but postpunk in sensibility” and Brooklyn Vegan proclaims has “a real vintage-ness here, recalling the period of funk and soul just as those genres started transitioning into disco,” Jungle has quickly perked the curiosity of media across the globe.
With an intriguing online debut last year through a set of clever music videos for singles “Platoon” (starring B-Girl Terra) and “The Heat” (starring High Rollarz), it was soon reveled that the group’s main figures were a duo of West London artists known as J and T. 4 Million views later of the “Platoon” music video plus mentions on the BBC Sound of 2014 Longlist and Spotify’s 2014 Spotlight list, the duo, joined by five close friends, set out to play their first set of live shows in London. Hailed by The Fly as “impressively slick, they pack their skillfully crafted tracks with complex layers of old-skool hip hop beats, hypnotising grooves, all dressed with rich, soulful vocals and presented with striking unity,” you will not want to miss Jungle in 2014.

Yet monitoring individual miners is ineffective, or it is very costly, especially on frontiers with scattered small-scale miners. We ask whether monitoring at a group level effectively incentivizes cleaner artisanal mining by combining lower-cost external monitoring with local collective action.We employ a mining-framed, threshold-public-goods experiment in Colombia’s Pacific region, with 640 participants from frontier mining communities. To study compliance with collective environmental targets, we vary the target stringency, including to compare increases over time in the stringency versus decreases. We find that collective incentives can induce efficient equilibria, with group compliance — and even inefficient overcompliance — despite the existence of equilibria with zero contributions. Yet, for demanding targets in which the reward for compliance barely outweighs the cost, compliance can collapse. Those outcomes improve with past successes for easier targets, however, so our results suggest gain from building coordination via graduated stringency.

Without doubt, the most common question we’re asked is – what is this thing on my skin? In this article we’ll show you some examples of four different types of lesion so that you can have a head start the next time you discuss your skin with your doctor.
Different types of lesion often look alike
The problem is simple – lots of different skin conditions look similar. Your GP’s time is valuable, so you want to help by learning what you can before making an appointment. And it’s important to know what you’re looking at, as the factors that could cause a skin tag or a mole to increase in size over time are different.
A quick search of Google will give you lots of pointers, but it’s hard to know the source is reliable. Over time we’re going to add to the library of photos on this page to show you typical examples of each. We can’t cover every variety we’ve ever treated, but it will give you a start.
Please note: We’re not going to be dealing with skin cancer or other possible malignant conditions here. If you think you may have such a condition, please see a Doctor straight away. We offer a non-profit histology service for any patient whose skin our Doctors or Nurses have concerns over.
Different terms don’t all mean the same thing
Another common reason that patients aren’t well informed about their skin is that in conversation, people use lots of the medical terms interchangeably. It’s easy to see how people come to think that a mole, a cyst and a wart are all three different names for the same thing.
Typical photos of different lesions
We’re starting this page with four of our most common types of lesion. Want us to add more? Please drop us a comment in the box at the end of the page.
All of these photos are of patients who went on to be treated at one of our clinics. We carry out hundreds of procedures each month, and there’s lots of variety in appearance, but these are typical of each type of lesion.
Moles come in many different sizes and colours. Often they’re raised from the skin, but sometimes they’re completely flat. This is the most common condition we encounter.
Where moles grow outside the skin, cysts form under it. They are usually firm to the touch, more so than lipoma, which can look similar when they’re small.
Skin tags usually grow away from the skin rather than spreading out on it like moles. Whereas moles often increase in size because of sunlight exposure, skin tags are more likely to be affected by repeated friction such as chafing, or sometimes by hormone changes in the body.
A seborrhoeic keratosis will often start out skin-coloured and become more visible and dark over time. Compared to moles, they look more like they’re attached to the skin and tend to have a rougher surface.
Don’t diagnose yourself – start a discussion
Hopefully this guide has helped you to get started but please, don’t use it to diagnose your own skin conditions.
Now that you’ve seen some typical examples, the next step is to use what you’ve learned to do some more reading and have a focused conversation with your Doctor. They may be impressed that you know a cyst from a mole! Or they may need to correct you and put your mind at ease.
The NHS will not typically treat these types of condition without a clear medical need, so you may also want to seek private help if you’re keen to have something removed from your skin.
We offer a free Online Consultation process to anyone who is considering treatment at one of our North and West Yorkshire clinics.
This is a quick and discreet way to get a medical opinion on your treatment options. For most of our patients, it saves them from having to come in for an in-clinic consultation. This means they can book straight in for a procedure, knowing that one of our Doctors or specialist Surgical Nurses has already assessed them and arranged the appropriate treatment.
Let us know in the box below if you’d like us to add a particular type of skin condition to this guide.

... we can be thankful, because the pseudo-civilization of freaks got burned. That is positive.
In this respect, these elections have been very indicative and signaled that Americans retain, unlike their European counterparts, a degree of common sense which will be crucial for the adjustment of the United States to its new status of just another Great Power. This process is objective and does not depend on will of America's political class, but this class can make some arrangements to prevent the US from a complete collapse. Per DJT, as a NYC real estate shyster he will try to "sell" 404 to Russia in exchange for China. He will fail. But he will try. I hope Doug Macgregor gets some position in his cabinet and will explain to him what REAL war is.

A Retort from Tony Beddow
The Welsh NHS has for weeks been attacked in the Commons by Cameron and Hunt being described as failing and a shambles. Now, on a weekend when the independent Nuffield Trust reported that NHS Wales compares well with the other UK health systems, Cameron compounded the crime by telling the Tory Conference that the Welsh border separated life and death. Both should apologise to the House for misleading it and correct the record. Cameron should apologise to Wales for the “line of death” slur.
Faced with Nuffield Trust’s assessment on Radio Wales 11th April, Welsh Tory MP Alun Cairns was reduced to blustering that the massive failure of the Welsh NHS was all due to elective orthopaedic waiting times -supposedly longer in Wales.
He didn’t want to hear that cancer care was better in Wales. He didn’t want to debate the impact that the 1978 Barnett formula automatically has on reducing total expenditure in NHS Wales. As a result of the austerity agenda NHS Wales now operates on £1,900 per person compared with the North East of England (similar to Wales in terms of “need”) which gets £2,100 – 10% more. He couldn’t admit that the cause of the problems in Mid Staffs were slashed nurse staffing levels as the Trust went hell- bent for Foundation Trust status – which doesn’t operate in Wales.
He won’t want to quote the outgoing English NHS boss rating NHS England only 5 out of 10. Perhaps too he doesn’t know that the massive re-organisation of the English NHS- never put to the electorate in either the Tory or Lib- Dem manifestos – has wrecked havoc with hospitals forced to compete rather than collaborate and commissioners forced to put NHS services out to tender. Spending on “regulation”, lawyers, and redundancies continues to rise. Will the manifestos of the Conservative and Lib Dem parties in 2015 proudly state ” Vote for us and let us finish off the NHS”?
He couldn’t say if he supported propping up the NHS Barnett 10% shortfall by robbing large chunks of the Welsh education or social care budget to health. Anybody who knows anything about the inadequacies of Joel Barnett’s 35 year old “temporary” fix – which clearly doesn’t include Cairns and Cameron and the Welsh Lib Dems – knows that those are the unattractive options for plugging this huge gap in the funding of a devolved service taking about 40% of the total Welsh Government block vote.
And what of that orthopaedic waiting time figure? Cairns might be right that the reported figures show an average hip and knee operation waiting time in Wales of 170 days as opposed to 70 days in England.
However, reported figures do not necessarily indicate poorer treatment for real patients. First, English figures are not collected and reported on the same basis as Welsh ones. English waiting times rules describe many ways of “stopping the waiting times clock”. Some of the difference in waiting times is almost certainly down to England being better at gaming the data than being better at treating patients. Second, it is more important that patients are treated at the best time for them (and average figures are by definition a mix of short and long waits). For some patients, agreeing with their Welsh doctors the optimum time for such surgery and perhaps waiting a while so that future revision surgery some years hence is less likely, makes sense. Third, for as long as Wales gets 10% less than its English equivalent region, waiting times will inevitably suffer.
Welsh Health Minister Mark Drakeford was right to say that “Nuffield has shot Cameron’s Fox”. For the Prime Minister to lose one Fox in a term of Government is unfortunate. To lose both Reynard and Liam to different means of pest control is careless.
Note for Editors
Tony Beddow is a former NHS Chief Executive in Wales. He is also Secretary of Socialist Health Association (SHA) Cymru Wales. This piece is written in a personal capacity.

If not, you better go back to the drawing board!
Well, take a look at these facts:
Consumers talk with each other about brands, and brands no longer talk to consumers.
Relatable content influences consumer behavior better than anything else.
Businesses are making $5.20 for every $1 spent on influencer marketing. We help brands scale their influencer marketing campaigns intelligently and quickly, yielding high potential returns. (Influencer Marketing Hub 2019)
Assess your business position and current marketing strategies
Identify the most relevant influencers for your business
Pair the right influencers with your brand/business
Create native content in collaboration with the influencers in line with your brand/marketing objectives
Work with the influencers to leverage your marketing content to build your brand reputation, trust, and credibility
Track the results and make necessary modifications when needed to ensure the best results
It’s an open secret that consumers are becoming increasingly wary of paid ads, with a good number resorting to ad blockers to block ads even as they consume digital content.
Yes, like the SEO and PPC gold rush of the early 2000S, influencer marketing can skyrocket your revenue, giving you a way to compete with some of the most established global brands. We all agree that a good influencer needs to produce tangible results.
But one of the biggest challenges for any brand or business looking to do influencer marketing is finding the right influencer that fits their marketing goal. Many brands or businesses put the cart before the horse by forming relationships with purported influencers based entirely on gut and intuition.
Numbers Alone Are Quite Deceiving!
The risks of fake accounts are real. Reports indicate that about 15% of Twitter profiles are fraudulent or “robotic” accounts designed to appear like real people. Celebrities and “fake influencers purchase followers. The level of risks that comes with choosing social media influencers is enormous as many of the purported influencers use algorithm hacks, and “black hat” manipulation to acquire followers. This is why 75% of marketers say that one of the top challenges they experience with influencer marketing to tracking the ROI.
Using numbers to evaluate potential influencer partnerships will burn your resources with no tangible ROI. Yet many marketers use this quick and easy path, investing tens of thousands of dollars, which does not lead to any tangible result.
Are you looking to increase revenue? Create awareness? Organically grow your social media following? Your marketing goal will define the kind of influencer we match you with and the messaging strategies that work for your brand.
Weed out all the fake influencers with the help of both SaaS software and skillful analytical judgments based on our experience.
Use Data to Make Decisions: To achieve great results we make data-driven decisions to set the right marketing strategy for your business.
We recognize that every marketing campaign must be based on measurable objectives to determine the amount of the brand’s marketing success. As a result, we weed out the “black hat” influencers and get the right influencers with purely organic followers or fans to increase your engagement with customers.
We assess the quality of an influencer’s reach before we pick on the most authentic ones.
Some SaaS platforms have alleged that they can automate the process. However, our years of experience have shown that complete vetting is both an art and a science, hence it requires leveraging data analytics with some human touch.
SocialLight is a result-oriented full-service influencer marketing agency that works with the latest strategies to deliver top-notch marketing messages to your brand and business. We strategically match your message with your desired audience on all social media channels with the most targeted social media influencers.
We’re fully aware that consumers require multiple touch-points with a brand to convert.
When you combine our targeted influencers with your performance marketing, you get the most powerful marketing outcome.
We pair you with the most relevant influencers to your brand message and marketing goal. These influencers already create native contents that resonate with your consumer base. This approach enhances your marketing performance and improves overall conversion.
Failure to move with the times will likely crush your success. Embrace new marketing strategies to make substantial market gains.

Content is the base of every marketing effort you take on the internet and social media. And there is also something called as the content strategy for social media marketing! But what is social media content all about? What are the different aspects of content strategy? How can you build it effectively?
Here are some essential tips which you need to know about creating a content strategy for social media marketing.

- Which content presentation style would be convincing for your targeted client base?
Select the Right Social Media Platforms
You have a plethora of social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. Each platform demands a different content style and strategy. Twitter demands concise business messaging; Instagram is about amazing and interesting photos, while Pinterest is apt for infographics and tutorials. However, Facebook is a blend of all these content elements.
So, you will have to build an individualized strategy for each platform. You can also pick two or three platforms and concentrate on publishing relevant content consistently.
Choose Interesting Formats
Consider using innovative and exciting social media content formats, like:
- SlideShare Decks
- Live to Stream
Set Your Marketing Goals and Make Sure Your Content Meets Them

- Your social media content may have a goal of educating and spreading awareness regarding certain thing/issue
- You can provide certain solutions through your social media content
- Your social media content can be motivating
Set a Tone for Your Content
If you are creating social media content, then you need to set a tone for making it effective. You need to blend a professional tone, a bit of wit and complying. Remember that your content should not be too informal and also you must avoid posting too personal content on your business profiles. Your social media content should be friendly, fun, and engaging, but not obnoxious.
You can also keep the viewers engaged by posting smart calls to action, motivational messages, hashtags & catchy images on regular basis.
Your strategy should be focused on active listening. You should aim to figure out what your audience wants and do more of that!
Do Not Be Too ‘Salesy’ with Your Social Media Content

There is currently a campaign to clarify abortion law because a few radical voices like these are confusing women about whether or not it is illegal to abort on grounds of the sex of the baby. In this video, Chair of radical campaign group Abortion Rights is asked if sex-selection abortion is illegal under current UK law. She fails to answer. The proposed amendment to the Serious Crime Bill would prevent the sort of nonsense seen in this video.
Stop Gendercide were sent these videos by students who had asked these campaigners questions, but were unimpressed enough by what they heard to want to share their responses.

- Why do we have a membership?
Because we are a ‘company’ we have to abide by the rules set out in the Companies Act 2006. This means that we can choose to become any one of a number of different types of organisation. The community decided that we should become a ‘Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a share capital’ and that our ‘structure’ would be made up of ‘Members’ and of ‘Directors’.
- Where can I find further details of the rules for setting up this company?
In our Articles of Association and in the Companies Act 2006.
- Why can’t everyone in the community automatically become a member?
The law does not allow us to force anyone to become a member which is why we can’t create an automatic membership.
- Does lack of automatic membership mean we are less democratic?
Absolutely not. The Community Trust is as democratic an organisation as you’ll find anywhere. Anyone can join the company, it’s free to join, you get to vote in new Directors every year, you get to see all the Minutes and Accounts, you can stand for Directorship yourself and you can request general meetings. Your Community Trust is just that…….yours…….and by taking that positive step to sign a membership form, you have actively decided to take an interest in the workings of the company.
- What does it cost to become a member?
- Why do I have to sign a form to become a member?
Because no one can be forced to become a member, we have to have proof that you have volunteered to join up hence needing to sign a form. It’s exactly the same as if you become a ‘Friend’ of the Boleskine Community Care charity locally. You sign a form and that’s it.
- What happens to the information held on each member?
By law, we must keep a register of members including your name and address and your data is protected by the data protection laws, by which we must abide.
- What does ‘limit of liability’ mean?
Because we are a company limited by guarantee, our guarantee is that, should the company go bust, each member will be liable to pay no more than £1. In other words, £1 is the ‘limit of your liability’. All the detail of this is available in our Articles of Association.
- Why should I become a member?
Because it’s your company, your community, your money. It’s not the Directors’ money, it’s yours and it is being spent in your community. As a ‘member’ you not only get to vote on which Directors you want on your Board but you also get to see exactly what decisions are being made by them on a regular basis. You also have a right to vote at General meetings including the Annual General meeting of course, to receive the Minutes and other communication produced by Directors, to view the company’s accounts and to call a General meeting if you wish. All the details of what you can do are listed in our Articles of Association.

If he hadn’t been shot and killed outside his New York City apartment on December 8th, 1980, John Lennon would have been celebrating his 70th birthday today.
The day is being marked around the world with concerts and exhibits that include a bed-in and a photography exhibit that includes this iconic photograph, snapped on July 6th, 1957 on the day Paul McCartney met John Lennon in what’s considered to be the “Big Bang” moment that led to formation of The Beatles.
(by Geoff Rhind. Courtesy Paley Center for Media)
Taken by one of Lennon’s schoolmates, the snapshot above is part of an exhibition that opened this week at the Paley Center for Media in New York City. The show is filled with early, rarely-seen images, including one taken by Paul McCartney’s brother, Mike.
As they do every year on his birthday and on the anniversary of his death, Lennon fans will also gather at Strawberry Fields, the memorial site within New York City’s Central Park.
Tonight there will also be a free Central Park screening of LENNONYC, a new film by Michael Epstein with concert footage and home movies documenting Lennon’s life in New York City after the break-up of the Beatles. The film will air nationally on PBS as part of the American Masters series on November 22nd.
Here’s a preview:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio is holding a John Lennon Weekend through Sunday that includes a concert, the sealing of a time capsule filled with Lennon’s music and items contributed by fans, as well as film highlights from both the Beatles’ and John Lennon’s inductions into the Hall of Fame. The weekend also features tours of the museum’s Beatles exhibit, which includes Lennon’s 1979 Yamaha Upright piano, his Sgt. Pepper outfit, one of his electric guitars and the 1964 Gibson J 160E acoustic guitar he and Yoko had with them for the two “bed-ins” for peace in March and May of 1969.
Here’s a short video clip about that guitar by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curatorial director Jim Henke.
Fans can learn more about John Lennon’s political activism in Give Peace a Chance: John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Bed-In for Peace, a traveling exhibit opening at the Lake County Discovery Museum in Wauconda, Ill. today.
On display through January 2nd, 2011 will be more than 40 large-format photos taken during the bed-in for peace John and Yoko held at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal from May 26th to June 2nd, 1969 and a re-creation of the room where the bed-in took place.
In Los Angeles, the GRAMMY Museum has opened John Lennon, Songwriter, an exhibition that displays some of John Lennon’s guitars, his signature round, wire-framed eyeglasses, his typewriter, some of his original drawings and handwritten lyrics, and photographs, posters and other artifacts and memorabilia loaned to the museum by Yoko Ono.
And in Liverpool, England is kicking off an event-filled John Lennon Tribute Season that will last through December 9th. In addition to rock, pop and classical music tributes, there will be art exhibitions, city tours, a poetry slam, lectures, an exhibition of early Beatles photos taken by Astrid Kirchherr (the girlfriend of Stuart Sutcliffe, the original Beatles’ bass player), and a Bed-In endorsed by Yoko Ono in which a curated group of participants will perform serious, humorous, commemorative or provocative actions in a publicly-sited bed over the course of 62 days.

Nothing is worse than wasted time in the business world.
Every second counts, and so you need to work hard to refine your processes. If things take longer than they should, your profits will decrease.
With that in mind, the tips and suggestions on this page should help you to boost productivity levels. Regardless of the nature of your operation, the same rules should apply.
So, read this post carefully, and then work out how you can use the information. With a bit of luck, you’ll notice a huge difference straight away.
In most instances, you just need to use some common sense. You also need to ensure you remain at the cutting edge of modern technology.
Use Specialist Software
There is lots of software on the market today designed for business owners just like you. Now is the time to research the most popular programs and how they could benefit your firm.
At the very least, you should look for accounting and inventory packages. The right solution would record all your income and outgoings automatically.
That means you don’t have to spend all day typing numbers into your computer. Also, inventory software will place orders on your behalf when stock levels begin to diminish.
So, you’ll have more time to focus on the growth and expansion of your company. Best of all? You won’t break the bank when it comes to obtaining those tools.
Most of them are pretty cheap. You’ll have to pay a small upfront fee, or you’ll have to cover a monthly subscription charge.
Find an Online Payroll Solution
If you employ other people, you’ll need to find a quick and easy payment solution. Thankfully, help is at hand, and you just need to search Google.
Look for the best small business payroll provider in your home country and inquire about their services. In most situations, you won’t have to pay a lot of money to use their facility.
In most instances, that means you won’t have to mess around with the figures because everything is automated. Once you set the system up, you can leave it to work its magic.
Of course, you’ll want to read reviews before making your decision. If you see negative comments from other users, you should probably look elsewhere.
Again, you often have to pay an upfront fee. However, some providers allow business owners to activate the service with a monthly subscription.
Outsource Time-Consuming Tasks
Knowing when to outsource has become vital in the modern business world. Knowing which jobs to outsourcing is just as important.
There are lots of private companies out there that focus their efforts on assisting people just like you. So, there’s no need for your employees to handle tasks like customer service or marketing these days.
You just need to search online for outsourcing partners who know how to get the best results. Make a shortlist of companies, and then contact them all to discuss your requirements.
When it comes to customer service, they will often ask you to write a script for their team to follow. It’s worth the effort because consumers won’t know the difference.
You get the same quality customer service at a fraction of the price and effort. When there are calls only you can handle, the outsourcing partner will just forward them to your office.
It works in the same way as it would if you use an in-house team.
Take health and safety precautions
Failure to take health and safety seriously could cause many problems for your company.
- Firstly, your employees might become injured and make a claim. When that happens, you have to gather evidence, pay for legal assistance, and attend court. That is a costly and time-consuming experience.
- Secondly, you might have to undergo inspections by the authorities. If they discover you’re not taking the correct precautions, they could give your business a fine. With that in mind, use your head! Perform risk assessments and implement a strict health and safety policy today.
As you can see from those tips, there are lots of ways you can remove wasted time from your operation. In most instances, you just need to make better use of technology.
However, there is always more to learn, and your research shouldn’t stop here. The process of attempting to reach maximum productivity is something that’s ongoing.
So, never think you’ve found the perfect solution. There are always more ways in which you can make improvements.
There are some fantastic articles on this blog, so make sure you check them out before you leave us today.

It’s official, I’ve become a crazy plant lady. My kitchen island looks more like a greenhouse work table than somewhere I prepare meals, ha ha, so I was keen to find a way to more compactly propagate plant cuttings. Introducing this DIY test tube plant propagation stand!
I love how this plant DIY allows me to propagate multiple cuttings in a slim and discreet way — much better than having a stack of glasses and larger vessels all over my kitchen bench.
You don’t need many items or much skill as a DIYer to pull this off so I hope you’ll be inspired to make one too.
Related article: Growing Devil’s Ivy: Easy tips to propagate and care for this plant

Items you will need:
- Piece of pine dressed pine (42mm wide x 19mm thick x 1200mm long, $4 from Bunnings)
- 5 x test tubes or more if you want to make a larger one (I bought 16mm diameter test tubes online from Etsy)
- Electric drill
- 2 x spade drill bits (1 that is the diameter of your test tubes and 1 that is 2mm wider)
- PVA glue for timber
- Paint (I used ‘Gunpowder Smoke’ from Haymes)
1. Cut two longer lengths of pine to form the top and bottom of the stand. Mine are 252mm long but you might choose to make yours longer or shorter depending on how many test tubes and the size of the test tubes you use.
2. On both pieces, mark the centre points of where each test tube should be. I wanted 40mm on the left and right of the stand before my first test tube so deducted that from the overall length. That left 172mm to equally space out each test tube. (As each test tube was 16mm in diameter, I deducted 80mm (5 test tubes x 16mm) from 172mm leaving 92mm. I divided that number by 4, which came to 23mm, to know the equal spaces that should be between each test tube.)
3. On the top piece, you will use the spade drill bit that is 2mm larger than the diameter of your test tubes (to allow the tube to easily fit through the hole). Using your electric drill and the larger drill bit, drill all the way through the plank of timber at each of the centre points you marked in the step above.
4. On the bottom piece of timber, you will use the smaller drill bit to just drill 2mm deep. This will create a neat groove for your test tube to sit in. Tip: use a Sharpie pen to mark 2mm on your drill bit so you know when to stop drilling.
5. Now it’s time to cut your side pieces of timber. Mine are 100mm but if you use larger or smaller test tubes, you may want to adjust this measurement. Tip: if you’re a more advanced DIYer, you could mitre the timber to create a cleaner join.
6. Construct your DIY test tube propagation stand by glueing the timber frame together. You could use clamps to hold it together as it dries but I simply weighed it down with a few books.
7. Once dry, it’s time to paint it. I used ‘Gunpowder Smoke’ by Haymes but did consider a bright colour… it’s totally up to you!
8. Then it’s time to pop all your test tubes in place, top up with water, and place in your plant cuttings.
Are you inspired to try and make this DIY test tube propagation stand? I’d love to see photos if you do! Tag @stylecuratorau when you post pics online or email them to email@example.com

This post is part of a month long series called 'Pattern Makeover Month.' I took a simple pattern (The Sweet Dress by Leila and Ben) and 'made-it-over' into many different styles. For more information, go here.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I always seem to have a hard time finding dresses that are long enough for my skinny legged girlies. So, I thought I would turn the Sweet Dress into a maxi dress.
Cut the main dress pieces out, adding an extra inch to the length of the hemline. At the neckline, cut straight across from the highest point to the fold, making the top straight across instead of curved. Do not cut sleeves. For the ruffle, cut two pieces that are 5-7 inches wide and 2 times longer than the hemline. (For example, with 5T it is about 20 inches across one side-- the ruffle strips should each be 40 inches long.)
Finish the top of the neckline on each side with a rolled hem edge.
Time to shir. Wind your bobbin with elastic thread, stretching about 50% as you go. Thread your machine with normal thread on top. The easiest way to make sure you make straight lines across your dress is by using plaid or striped fabric, like me! ;0) If you want to be exact, you may want to mark your lines with a dress makers pencil.
Start about 3/4 of an inch below the top of the dress. The next stitching line should be about 1/2 inch below the first. Continue down until you have about 3 lines under the bottom of the armhole.
Sew the side seams together. Sew your ruffle strips together then hem one edge. Gather the other edge and attach to the bottom of your dress.
Cut your FOE into two strips that measure about 11 inches. (You can also use bias tape.) It might be best to measure your child or one of your child's garments from underarm seam along the sleeve seam to the top of the shoulder. Multiply by two but don't add a seam allowance, as the stretch of the FOE makes up for that.
Start at the underarm seam and pin the FOE into place, overlapping the end just a hair. Stitch into place using a wide and long zigzag stitch.
Stitch into place using a wide and long zigzag stitch.

The 10th Annual 2021 Carolina Cup did not disappoint. As always, the Graveyard Course was a long-distance race in brutal conditions. And to put a twist on things, on day two of the event, the APP World Tour brought in the famous Surf Race Sprints in some heavy weather conditions.
Things kicked off with the Graveyard Race to welcome everyone back, but with the high winds and big surf the Coast Guard changed it up. The morning of the race it was switched to just the sound side to keep everyone safe. Nonetheless, conditions were still brutal, which made it challenging, yet very exciting.
The race started as usual, with everyone hot off the line heading upwind. We had two bridges to navigate and the first one allowed for some wiggle room making me just have to kneel down. The second one, on the other hand, all the racers had to prone paddle to barely sneak under. After getting through the two bridges and the headwinds, it was straight into some brutal cross winds making it hard to navigate around the island. At least on the other side was a mellow downwind section allowing all of us to choose our own line surfing the tiny bumps. The backstretch was a decent paddle and at this point, I was sitting in eighth place. I wanted to finish strong, so I kept the pressure on and kept my head down. As I rounded the island I was with Itzel and Arthur and we were always behind the lead pack.
With 30-40 mph headwinds, this was the last upwind grind until the finish line and I was feeling good, but it felt too late for a top-five finish. Itzel started to push a bit hard to catch up and at the same time crossed over to the right side of the sound.
At this moment I remembered someone telling me to stick to the left and I rolled the dice. It ended up to be the right move, as I jumped from 10th to 5th. I was stoked on this result as I wanted to focus on the Surf Sprints!!
So, I fueled up and got to bed for a good nights rest. All night I could hear the wind and waves picking up, which got me excited and nervous all at the same time.
The next morning I was ready for action and was able to win all my heats in some tough conditions, 4-10 foot seas with gale-force winds. The game plan was, play it simple and conserve energy with an additional variable, and that was to try and stay warm. I managed to have some clean starts and also some nice crashes on the inside double up. The finals approached and the nerves were high and excitement was through the roof.
All of us lined up and I dug my toes into the sand ready to burst down the beach into the water. The horn blew and I tried to time the waves as best as possible and managed to get a nice start. I aimed above the buoy compensating for the heavy winds. I focused on trying to ride as many bumps out and over to the buoy as possible, which allowed me to get to the turn first. I whipped my board around and instantly started hunting for a wave. I kept my lead, but nothing came to me until I looked over my shoulder and set waves were rolling in. Casper and Arthur took off, but the wind was insane and both of them wiped out leaving just Christian and myself. I rode the wave into the beach but didn’t quite jump off perfectly, which gave Christian and little head start for the sprint up the beach. I kept the gas pedal on and tried everything possible to pass him and at the last moment, he looked back and stumbled. Allowing me to take the win!!!
Winning the Surf Sprints and my 5th place in the Graveyard Long Distance – I am stoked to be the Overall Winner of the Event.
I want to thank my sponsors for all their support – Starboard, Salt Life, Salt Life Sunglasses, Black Project Fins, Flying Embers, Haleakala Solar, Hi-Tech Sports.
Also a big Mahalo to all the event organizers, the safety patrol and all the volunteers.

Having previously worked with Burberry by arranging filming for one of their campaigns at the stunning Seven Sisters Country Park back in 2021, they were drawn back by the lure of this fantastic location once more! This time the stars of the shoot were flags bearing their iconic logo. Designed around 1901, their Equestrian Knight is an icon of the house.
They felt the park, with its dramatic elements, fit well with what they wanted to achieve. Seven Sisters was just one of a number of locations across the country chosen for the shoot. Check it out here!

Jetpack Joyride is one of those classic App Store games that everyone played. Developed by Halfbrick, who also did Fruit Ninja and Dan the Man, Jetpack Joyride has been going strong ever since. The game features Barry (and, later, Betty) who tries to escape a mad scientist’s lab with a jetpack that shoots bullets. You tap and hold the screen to fire, which makes you go up, which is, basically, the main mechanic of the game. It’s one of those casual action games, perfect distraction elements designed for mobile devices.
The sequel, exclusive to Apple Arcade (so you’ll need a subscription for that, but it’s worth it), is similar, but fleshed out, to say the least. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it.
I’ll admit that I haven’t kept up with the original Jetpack Joyride, and its development. It’s still available, free to play, on the App Store. Jetpack Joyride 2, being an Apple Arcade release, is spared from nasty monetization tricks, but it still employs some mechanics, albeit without trying to get you to spend more money. For example, you’ll unlock something called the Factory, where you can research things to earn coins. Researching obviously means a timer, and I guess that’s fine, since it makes sense that research takes time. However, when you add everything together, it feels like Jetpack Joyride 2 was designed as a free to play release, but then Halfbrick signed on for Apple Arcade instead. Elements such as the slot machine, daily rewards for checking in, gems to unlock skins as well as power-ups, it just feels like a free to play game, without the money aspect. It’s well done, I don’t mind it, but chances are that this game will reach the App Store when the Apple Arcade deal runs out (if it does), and then it’ll become a free to play release. We’ll see, I guess.
That said, I do enjoy Jetpack Joyride 2. It’s still the same old hovering gameplay mechanic with a bullet-spurting jetpack, but now you get to shoot your enemies, too. Robots show up trying to gun you down, which makes our hovering hero will pull out a gun to shoot them. It adds another dimension to the game, and obviously a ton of power-ups to collect, level up et cetera. Because yeah, Jetpack Joyride 2 is full of power-ups. You’ll see some old ones, like the Big Stomper robot, early on. It’s all very familiar, if you played the original, except for the shooting, that is.
After you’ve reached a certain level (yes, you level up, there are XPs and whatnot) you’ll unlock the Arcade mode. This wasn’t what I expected at all. It features mini-games where you strive for a high score. What sort of games depends, they rotate. Sometimes you try to protect taco ingredients from robots by shooting them, at other times you’re a jetpack-wearing goalie. They’re small and, overall, pleasant breaks from the original gameplay, with rewards. That’s right, play Arcade games to get more coins and gems and slot machine spins… What can I tell you, Jetpack Joyride 2 is at least consistent.
I do recommend giving Jetpack Joyride 2 a go, if you’re an Apple Arcade subscriber. It’s not the game that would make me become one, if it wasn’t already included in the Apple One subscription, but it’s a nice distraction. I will say this, though: Playing games like this is far better on smaller devices, since you need to hold it horizontally. You could hook up a controller, obviously, but barring that, I’d recommend an iPad mini 6, if you’ve got one, for Jetpack Joyride 2.
🚀🚀🚀 out of 5 – Good.
Jetpack Joyride 2 is free without monetization, as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service.

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.
In Codenames, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
Codenames: Win or lose, it's fun to figure out the clues.

McDowell, John (Dick)
John (Dick) McDowell passed away peacefully on March 8 , 2012 in Blacksburg, Virginia. He was born on August 27, 1927 in Chattanooga, TN, to J.H. “Mac” and Ethel Johnston McDowell.
Growing up during the Great Depression, he developed a love of all things mechanical. His lifelong love for the outdoors began during those years on the newly created Lake Chickamauga. At Chattanooga High School he was part of a government-sponsored program that taught young men to serve as pilots in World War II. Upon graduation, Dick served in the United States Navy during the final months of the war. He completed his degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, later achieving the status of Professional Engineer and earning a Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering.
Dick is survived by his wife of 51 years, Martha Jane Denton McDowell. They lived in Knoxville for 40 years. After Dick’s retirement, they enjoyed four years in Floyd, VA, a small community close to the Blue Ridge Parkway that offered music, art and a way of life they both enjoyed.
Dick is also survived by three children and their families: John and his wife Cathy McDowell and their sons Jonah and Ethan of Blacksburg, VA; Susan McDowell, her husband Bob Elder and their son Mac of Austin TX; Mary McDowell, her husband Calvin Lin and their sons Emmett and Ronan, of Austin, TX.
Dick leaves behind his brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Louise McDowell of Chattanooga, TN and their children David, of Saraland, Alabama and Karen, of Lexington, KY, who as an adult became a valued friend as well as a niece.
Dick will be remembered by his family and friends for sharing his ideals, humor and love of the mountains, lakes, rivers and oceans. The last year of his life with Alzheimer’s Disease was made easier by the care and affection he received through the Cove at Kroontje Health Center and Good Samaritan Hospice of the New River Valley.
Those wishing to honor his memory may do so to a charity or cause of their choice.

War World (PROSE: War World [+]Steve Cole, adapted from The War Games (Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke), Doctor Who Atlas (Puffin Books and BBC Children's Books, 2021). Page 42.) also referred to as the "War Games planet" by the Second Doctor, (PROSE: World Game) was an Earth-like planet used by the War Lords as their base of operations for their War Games. They could travel between this planet and their homeworld in Galactic Sector 973.
The planet was divided up into eleven zones, each representing a different military conflict in Earth's history. In the centre was the War Lord base where there was a landing bay, a processing centre used to brainwash and condition the humans, and to store costumes for the War Lord commanders tasked with finding humans best suited to become their army of super-soldiers.
As a last resort, there was a neutron bomb located somewhere on the planet which was to be exploded in case of an uprising which would wipe out all humans on the planet.
The planet the base had been built on was made to look similar to Earth; for example, houses and shelters had been recreated, mostly in the World War I zone and appeared so authentic the Second Doctor was fooled, though there were communication units in key points throughout the zones so the SIDRATs could arrive in secret. Much of the flora and fauna on the planet were similar to Earth. The War Lords separated the zones by setting up "time zone barriers" disguised as mists that the processed humans under their control couldn't pass through. (TV: The War Games)

Embedded Analytics and the Cloud: What You Should Know
Webinar Speaker: Fern Halper, TDWI VP Research, Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics
Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2022
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. ET
In today’s dynamic environment, your organization must stay ahead of the competition. No wonder successful companies are deploying analytics in applications and business processes, then going the extra mile by embedding analytics applications into other applications or processes (such as reports, dashboards, or machine learning models).
Embedding analytics can bring your analytics results closer to your decision makers and applications—often at the point when and where decisions are actually made. Embedding analytics opens analytics up to more of your users and makes data insights more pervasive, actionable, and valuable throughout your organization.
To successfully operationalize and embed analytics, organizations like yours are moving to the cloud to address issues of data scale and performance. For instance, you might need to score a model that’s part of an application that processes high volumes of data, or you might want to embed analytics into a cloud-based application. There are many more and varied use cases for embedded analytics in the cloud.
Join this panel webinar with representatives of Sisense and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to learn about the benefits of embedded analytics and how to get started. You’ll discover how the cloud can help. Topics include:
- What is embedded analytics and what is its business value?
- Using the cloud for embedded analytics applications
- Evolving use cases for embedded analytics
- Best practices for embedded analytics and the cloud

TikTok has taken the social media world by storm, with millions of users creating and sharing content daily. Whether you’re an influencer, a brand, or just someone who enjoys making videos, growing your follower count is key to your success on the platform. In this guide, we’ll explore various methods to gain free TikTok followers organically and effectively.
Why TikTok Followers Matter
Building a strong follower base on TikTok is crucial for several reasons:
- Increased Visibility: The more followers you have, the more people will see your content, leading to higher engagement.
- Social Proof: A large follower count can make you appear more credible and influential.
- Monetization Opportunities: Brands and businesses often collaborate with users who have a significant following.
Effective Strategies to Get Free TikTok Followers
- Create High-Quality Content Content is king on TikTok. The more engaging, entertaining, or informative your videos are, the more likely they are to be shared. Make sure to use trending sounds and hashtags to increase visibility.
- Leverage TikTok Trends Participating in trending challenges and using trending hashtags can significantly boost your reach. The TikTok algorithm often promotes content that is aligned with current trends.
- Post Consistently Regular posting helps you stay relevant and keeps your audience engaged. Aim to post at least once a day to maintain momentum.
- Engage with Your Audience Respond to comments, engage with followers’ content, and build a community around your profile. The more interaction you have, the more loyal your followers will become.
- Collaborate with Other Creators Partnering with other TikTok users, especially those with a larger following, can expose your content to a broader audience. Collaboration is a win-win for both parties.
- Promote Your TikTok on Other Platforms Share your TikTok videos on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook to drive traffic from other social media platforms. Cross-promotion can help you attract followers who might not have found you otherwise.
Tools and Resources to Grow Your TikTok Followers
While organic growth is essential, there are several tools that can help you streamline the process. For example, you can use analytics tools to track your performance and adjust your strategies accordingly.
For more information on TikTok growth strategies, check out this comprehensive guide by Social Media Examiner.
FAQs About Free TikTok Followers
1. Can I really get TikTok followers for free?
Yes, by following the strategies outlined in this guide, you can gain followers organically without spending money.
2. Are there any risks in using free TikTok follower tools?
While some tools claim to offer free followers, many are scams or could potentially get your account banned. It’s safer to grow your followers organically.
3. How long does it take to grow a substantial follower base on TikTok?
The time it takes varies depending on the quality of your content, consistency, and engagement. Some users see rapid growth within a few months, while others may take longer.
4. Do hashtags really help in getting more followers?
Yes, using relevant and trending hashtags can increase the visibility of your content, leading to more followers.
5. Is it worth buying TikTok followers?
Purchasing followers is generally not recommended as it can harm your account’s credibility and may lead to lower engagement rates.
Growing your TikTok followers organically may take time, but it’s a rewarding process that builds a genuine, engaged audience. By focusing on creating quality content, staying active, and engaging with your community, you can steadily increase your followers and boost your presence on TikTok.

Yachts Big and Small
If you are a yacht owner, you know that space is at a premium on board. Whether you have a smaller or a larger yacht, every item you bring on board needs to serve a purpose, and any additional weight or size can be a burden. This is why small form factor (SFF) computers are an excellent choice for yacht owners of both smaller and larger yachts.
SFF computers are designed to be compact, taking up minimal space without sacrificing performance. These machines typically come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the size of a loaf of bread to a console. Their compact design makes them ideal for yacht owners who want to maximize the available space on board or fit their design aesthetic, regardless of the size of their yacht.
One of the main advantages of SFF computers is their portability. If you need to bring your computer with you when you leave your yacht, an SFF computer is easy to pack and transport. Many models also fit in a backpack or small suitcase, making them even more convenient to move around. This is particularly useful for yacht owners who like to dock in different locations and need to carry their computer with them.
SFF computers are also energy-efficient, which is an important consideration for yacht owners who need to be mindful of their power usage. Modern components are more energy efficient than ever. These computers can consume less power than larger desktop computers, which can help to extend the life of your marine battery and reduce your overall power consumption. This is particularly useful for yacht owners who spend long periods of time at sea and rely on their computers for communication and entertainment.
Another advantage of SFF computers is their versatility. Every Tesseræ model comes equipped with a range of ports, including high speed USB-C and 3.1, HDMI, DisplayPort, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, making it easy to connect to other devices on board. Additionally, Tesseræ computers can be customized to suit your specific needs, with options for faster processors, more storage, and additional memory.
SFF computers are known for their reliability. Computer electronics today are designed to withstand harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures and vibrations. This makes them an excellent choice for yacht owners of both smaller and larger yachts who want a computer that can withstand the rigors of life at sea.
SFF computers are an excellent choice for yacht owners of both smaller and larger yachts who want a compact, portable, energy-efficient, versatile, and durable computer. Whether you need a computer for entertainment, communication, or work-related tasks, a Tesseræ computer can meet your needs while taking up minimal space on your vessel.

Glass Fibre Fabric
Glass fiber fabric, also known as fiberglass fabric, is made from thin strands of glass that are woven together to create a versatile and strong material. There are several types of glass fiber fabrics, each with distinct characteristics and applications:
- Woven Roving: Made from thick glass fibers, this fabric is typically used for applications requiring high strength, such as boat hulls and industrial components. It has a coarse texture.
- Chopped Strand Mat (CSM): A non-woven fabric made from randomly oriented glass fibers, typically held together with a binder. It’s easy to work with and is commonly used in laminating and forming processes.
- Satin Weave: This type of fabric has a smooth surface and provides excellent strength and flexibility, making it suitable for applications like sports equipment and automotive parts.
- Twill Weave: Characterized by a diagonal pattern, twill weave provides good drapability and strength, making it suitable for structural applications, including automotive and aerospace.
- Biaxial and Triaxial Fabrics: These fabrics are made with fibers oriented in multiple directions (two or three) to provide enhanced strength and rigidity. They are used in advanced composite applications.
- Prepreg Fabric: Pre-impregnated with a resin system, these fabrics are often used in high-performance applications such as aerospace and automotive parts, where controlled resin content and properties are crucial.
- E-Glass and S-Glass Fabrics: E-glass is the most common type of glass fiber used for general applications due to its good electrical properties and cost-effectiveness. S-glass has higher tensile strength and is used in more demanding applications.
These different types of glass fiber fabrics can be combined with various resins and materials to create composite materials for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, marine, construction, and more.

So you finally swiped right and have a real, legit date. Now what? First dates are a heart-pumping, jitter-inducing mashup of excitement, nerves, and usually, expectations. It’s normal to get that idealized picture in your head of how your very first romantic meet-and-greet’s going to go – but many times, we sabotage ourselves by over-thinking it to the point of mental frenzy. In the latest episode of Gabby Bernstein’s series with Glamour Magazine, Dear Gabby, life coach Gabby Bernstein is doling out key advice on how to, um, “nail it” on first dates. You know what we mean. Take Gabby’s advice that will serve you long past the first date jitters:
Envision. Envision how you want the date to play out. Just like other areas of your life, envisioning a positive outcome can create one.
Breathe. Instead of getting caught up in stress, take your yoga practice with you and breathe into the experience. Only that way will you create space for something new!
Get ahead of yourself. Leave failed past relationships at the door—and don’t get too far ahead of yourself. It’s easy to get mired in the past or project into the future. Keep this date about the present and the fun you are having together in the moment.
Change. Most importantly, don’t pretend to be anyone but yourself. Your authentic self is what makes you beautiful and unique, so let that shine!

After being pulled from a high-kill shelter at ten months (thanks Pawfect Match Rescue!), doing a foster stint in a home with a bunch of Siberian Huskies, and tolerating a long drive to his forever family, Hamlet marched straight into Crystal W.’s heart and made himself right at home.
At three years old, “he’s smart, trained, friendly to humans of all ages and pets of all types, and quite obviously handsome as all get out” writes Crystal.
“Hammy enjoys his search and destroy missions for squeakers hidden inside his toys, and occasionally sneaks up on one of the cats so he can sleep next to her.”
“He comes with me to the office every day and is a very hard worker. Hamlet does his best tricks (sitting up and rolling over) to win petting and treats from my coworkers.”
Those Huskies must have clued him in to the delights of snow, because he thinks it’s the ideal weather!
This Pem’s quite a gifted frapper!
“Hamlet’s a little bit of a scaredy cat and a Momma’s boy, but that’s OK. We saved him in order to pamper him, and he’s pampered all the time.”
Just as it oughtta be, Crystal and Trey.

All Buddhas hope all beings
can eventually spiritually evolve
to all be Buddhas like themselves.— Stonepeace | Get Books
You could say we are sentient beings working to become awakening beings, bodhisattvas. This is the same as the Lord Buddha did. When the mind is obscured by desire, aversion and delusion, that is a sentient being. But whenever we have the brahmavihara, the ‘divine abidings’ of loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity established in our hearts, then we can be called excellent beings, or we could be called bodhisattvas. Even beings without such qualities can develop them and eventually become enlightened.
In the past, the one who was about to become lord Buddha was also merely a human being. But he developed himself to be an extraordinary being, one who was suffused with the brahmaviharas, and thus he was called the Bodhisattva. Then through his persistent contemplation to know the truth, to know the facts of impermanence, suffering, and the lack of a self, he attained to full knowledge and was awakened as the Buddha. So don’t get the idea that there was only one Buddha. The one Buddha is actually the [personification of] saccadhamma, the truth, and whoever is awakened to that is Buddha.
There may be hundred or thousands of buddhas, but they will all follow in this same track, that of correct view. Yes, there is one Buddha, meaning right view. Whoever awakens to that is not different from the Buddha. So the Buddha and sentient beings are not far apart. This is something to be realised within. Realising the truth of original mind, we will see that it is impossible to describe or give it to another. There is no way to show it, noting to compare it to. It is beyond speech or concept. Teaching others, we reply on externals to transmit ideas, but realization of the truth must be accomplished by each individual

Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon on Wednesday resulted in the deaths of at least 30 people in the Baalbek region, according to local officials. The attacks, which also targeted Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut, come amid escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah that has intensified since late September.
At least 20 Israeli strikes in the Baalbek-Hermel governorate killed 30 people and injured 35, said Bachir Khodr, the regional governor. Further strikes hit the southern suburbs of Beirut, though no immediate casualties were reported from the area. The strikes followed an Israeli military order to evacuate residents from certain locations.
In a statement, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem emphasized the group’s stance, suggesting that while political negotiations might not end the hostilities, there could be an avenue for indirect negotiations if Israel ceased its attacks.
As the violence continues to ravage Lebanon, the international community’s diplomatic efforts have stalled. The US had previously proposed a 60-day ceasefire, but discussions faltered ahead of the US election, where former President Donald Trump was re-elected. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu appointed a new defense minister, Israel Katz, who vowed to “defeat” Hezbollah.
Lebanese rescue teams continued to search for survivors from an Israeli airstrike on the town of Barja, where 20 people were killed on Tuesday. In response, Hezbollah launched missiles at an Israeli military base near Tel Aviv, with some projectiles intercepted by Israeli defense systems.
As the violence shows no signs of abating, Lebanese political leaders remain hopeful for diplomatic intervention, though the political landscape remains deeply influenced by shifting global alliances and the ongoing regional conflicts.

Alex Altman posts on “For Republicans, Oklahoma Tornado Revives Questions About Disaster Relief” at Time Swampland, noting that Republican Sens. Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe, who opposed emergency aid for new England in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, are catching heat for their position on emergency aid for their state. Coburn is insisting of offsetting cuts in the federal budget elsewhere, while Imhofe is trying to sell a double standard, arguing that there will be no pork in aid for Oklahoma, so it’s OK.
NY Republican Rep. Peter King ain’t having Imhofe’s equivocating: “We know the type of suffering that people go through during these types of crises and we’re not going to hold – I’m certainly not going to hold the good people of Oklahoma hostage because they may have some hypocrites in their delegation,” King told WCBS 880′s Steve Scott on Wednesday…We had to wait over 100 days before we even got the aid approved to New York and New Jersey. Now, we find the senator from Oklahoma who voted against aid to New York and New Jersey saying that aid should be sent to Oklahoma because there’s a difference between tornado assistance and hurricane assistance,” King told Scott. “This is absolute hypocrisy.”
But Joan Walsh’s Salon.com post “Inhofe and Coburn: Red state hypocrites” hits the core issue most squarely: “Especially in the wake of the sequester cuts, the notion that the federal budget is larded with easily eliminated spending is ludicrous. Would Coburn like to see more kids thrown out of Head Start? More seniors losing Meals on Wheels? The federal deficit is shrinking faster than at any time since just after World War II, but Coburn is going to insist that someone, somewhere, must lose their federal help so Oklahoma can get it instead…We now apparently have deserving and undeserving disasters. When tragedy strikes, most Americans tend to want to pull together, but many Republicans look to pull us apart, placing their own constituents’ needs above everyone else’s.”
At PolitcusUSA Sarah Jones adds a little clarity to the I.R.S. ‘scandal,’ noting that “Conservative Nonprofits That Received Tax Exempt Status Outspent Liberals by 34-to-1.”
So, “Is the Economy Saving Obama’s Approval Ratings?” at FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver says “…It may be that the talk surrounding Benghazi, the I.R.S. and the Justice Department has negatively affected Mr. Obama’s approval rating by two or three percentage points, but that the economy has lifted his numbers by about the same amount.” In a word, yes.
Michael Tomasky makes a convincing argument that Dems should resist all calls for a special prosecutor. “Just say no, and say it firmly,” says Tomasky.
At The Daily Beast Eleanor Clift explains how “Obama’s Minimum-Wage Gambit Puts Republicans on Defensive” and explains: “Democrats and Republicans disagree about the economic consequences of a higher minimum wage, but they do agree on the politics, that it’s a loser for Republicans and mostly a winner for Democrats. “It should resonate,” says Matt Bennett, a co-founder of Third Way, a centrist Democratic group. “No one will win an election on this, but it rounds out with some base voters that he’s focused on their needs, too.” Democratic pollster Stefan Hankin agrees that it speaks to the Democratic base, but warns that it also risks deepening the divide between the business community and Democrats at a time when the GOP is in such disarray that an olive branch to business might be better politics. Either way, Democrats have set a proposal in motion that if it doesn’t pass in this Congress, it likely will in the next.”
The common wisdom has it that Huntsman can’t get nominated in his party, since right-wingers now have veto power. But Dems should keep an eye on him, just in case the wingnut base of the GOP’s House of Cards is ready to implode. His new PAC appears to be a well-planned base-building vehicle.
Greg Sargent reports at The Plum Line that “Harry Reid escalates `nuclear’ threat” as the only reasonable response left to GOP obstruction of nominations that ought to be routine.
Diogenes can finally stop looking. We found an honest man right here.

History of racial tension for Sanford and blacks
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - The furor over the failure to charge a neighborhood watch captain for shooting Trayvon Martin to death is the latest episode to inflame racial tensions that have simmered between police and blacks...
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — Before the charges that police botched the investigation of the shooting of an unarmed black teen, there were complaints that police went easy on an officer’s son who beat a black homeless man, or that police pull over black kids for wearing the wrong color hat because they suspect gang associations.
The furor over the failure to charge a neighborhood watch captain for shooting Trayvon Martin to death is the latest episode to inflame racial tensions that have simmered between police and blacks in this Orlando suburb for years.
“There is no trust,” said Turner Clayton Jr., president of the Seminole County’s NAACP. “There is no confidence.”
Clayton spoke before Sanford’s police chief and a local prosecutor stepped aside Thursday. The chief was accused by critics of mishandling the investigation of 17-year-old Martin’s death.
“I do this in the hopes of restoring some semblance of calm to a city which has been in turmoil for several weeks,” Police Chief Bill Lee Jr. said.
The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a civil rights probe and a special prosecutor appointed by the governor is examining the February shooting by watch captain George Zimmerman, 28. Police questioned but never charged Zimmerman after the Feb. 26 shooting of the teen who had gone to a convenience store for Skittles and an iced tea.
The failure to arrest Zimmerman — who said he shot in self-defense after Martin attacked him — and a delay in releasing 911 calls related to the shooting outraged Sanford residents who called it the latest example of bias against blacks.
“They’re as crooked as a barrel of fishhooks,” said black resident Lula King. She told a town hall meeting this week that her teenage grandson is regularly pulled over by police officers who think he is in a gang because of the red-and-black hats he wears.
“There are two sides to every story, but they don’t get but one side,” said King, 75.
Lee said he would step aside temporarily to let passions cool, saying he had become a “distraction” in the investigation. Hours later, the prosecutor recused himself from the case. Norman Wolfinger said in a letter to Gov. Rick Scott that his departure was aimed at “toning down the rhetoric” in the case.
Residents had demanded that Lee be fired before he stepped down; afterward, protesters gathering early for a rally chanted “The chief is gone. Zimmerman is next.” Others sold T-shirts that read, “Arrest Zimmerman.” Lee has said police officers didn’t arrest Zimmerman immediately after the Feb. 26 shooting because he claimed self-defense and there was no evidence to contradict his claims. Florida’s self-defense law gives people wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat during a fight.
Lee has been on the job for less than a year. His predecessor, Brian Tooley, retired early in wake of criticism that Sanford police dragged its feet in arresting Justin Collison on charges of knocking out a homeless black man.
It took a month for Collison, the son of a police lieutenant, to be arrested and charged in 2010 with battery, even though the attack was captured on video. Collison eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to probation late last year.
The department was also criticized for delaying the arrest of two security guards with close ties to the department who shot a 16-year-old teen to death in 2005. The guards were arrested several months after the shooting and were eventually cleared.
One of the two guards who shot Travares McGill was a police volunteer and the other was the son of a former police officer. Bryan Ansley and William Swofford claimed they feared for their lives when they shot the teen through a car window.
Of Sanford’s 53,000 residents, 57 percent are white and 30 percent are black.
Some residents have proposed boycotting the Sanford Police Department by asking 911 dispatchers to send county sheriff’s officers rather than the Sanford police.
And Martin’s family said the resignations don’t’ go nearly far enough. They repeated demands Thursday that Zimmerman be charged.
“We want an arrest, we want a conviction and we want him sentenced for the murder of my son,” Martin’s father, Tracy, said.

Letters by: Rob Leigh
The junior Legion of Doom get a back story in the beginning of this second issue as we learn the cosmic origins of Lex and Joker Jr. With their new personas in place, the pair and the rest of their gang have Jon and Damian exactly where they want them and it becomes apparent that they have another agenda as they manage to find a way to capture them both and use the Puppeteer to get Jon under his control so that he can enter the Fortress of Solitude and retrieve an item that Lex Jr. has assured his team will help them conquer their world and many others across the dimensions.
As Jon and Damian remain powerless to stop their pint-sized captors, one of the mini villains reveals that there is dissension in the ranks and that there might be a way for them to escape and restore Jon’s powers. It’s a risk they’re willing to take, but that risk has some unforeseen circumstances for the boy of steel.
This is a fun continuation of the story that Tomasi is building with the return of Jon and Damian. Their ability to work together continues to be a highlight and it is reflected in the dialogue which is done really well. Tomasi has a grasp on these characters and I am interested in not only where he is taking this particular story, but where he’s taking these two characters themselves. He seems to be building an interesting relationship and friendship between the two of them. One that is different than the one their father’s share.
Barberi delivers some great art in this issue as well and everything has a great sense of movement and motion in how it complements the story that Tomasi is creating. Great visuals throughout help keep the story suspenseful as well as fun.

How Do I Install a Fire Hearth?
Fitting a fire hearth involves several steps. Here is a general guide on how to fit a fire hearth:
- Measure and plan: Measure the dimensions of the area where you want to install the hearth. Consider the required clearance distances from the fireplace or stove as per the manufacturer's instructions and local building codes. Plan the size and shape of the hearth accordingly.
- Prepare the area: Clear the area of any debris or existing flooring. Ensure that the subfloor is clean, level, and stable. If necessary, make any repairs or adjustments to the subfloor.
- Install the base: Lay a layer of mortar or adhesive on the subfloor to create a stable base for the hearth. Use a trowel to spread the mortar evenly. Place the hearth base, such as a concrete slab or cement board, on top of the mortar and press it down firmly. Ensure that it is level and secure.
- Install the hearth material: Apply mortar or adhesive to the top of the hearth base. Lay the chosen hearth material, such as stone, brick, or tile, on top of the mortar. Press it down firmly and use a level to ensure it is even and level. Allow the mortar or adhesive to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Finish the edges: If desired, add a border or edge material to the hearth for a finished look. This can be done using the same material as the hearth or complementary material.
- Seal and protect: Apply a sealant or protective coating to the hearth material to enhance its durability and resistance to stains or damage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific sealant or coating you are using.

With the help of the proposed list of recommendations, every person will be able to manage their financial resources effectively and invest in the most profitable way.
The proper use of your money and call money is a great factor in your financial status and to the future. Here are some useful tips:Here are some useful tips:
Spend Wisely and Record Your Expenditure
– Determine your income and expenditure to help you plan for the next few days or weeks so that you can have an understanding of the amount of money that is available to spend during that period. Include all the costs that are incurred in business including the overhead costs such as rent, electricity, salaries, and wages, as well as the other costs such as eating out and going to the movies.
– Create an excel sheet, app or use any tool to record the actual amount spent on each aspect identified. This will enable you to identify some of the areas that may be costly to you so that you can avoid them.
The first and most important step that you should take in order to improve your credit score is to pay off any high interest debts that you might have.
– Set up an effective strategy to reduce credit card balances and other debts, which attract high interest rates, the soonest possible. This debt is expensive in the sense that you are paying many times more in interest.
– You might want to transfer debts to a credit card or loan with a lower annual percentage rate. This means that the payments that were formerly going to the interest fees now go towards the principal.
Build an Emergency Fund
– It is advisable to build an emergency fund of 3-6 months’ worth of personal living expenses and maintain it in a separate account. It will keep you out of more debt as it provides you with money to cater for some emergent expenses.
– Ideally, it is important to start with a small amount of money that is $50 or $100 and save it on a monthly basis until you have accumulated enough for an emergency fund.
Contribute to Retirement Accounts
– Use other types of workplace retirement accounts such as 401k, and IRAs to invest for the longer-term. Make sure you are putting in at least as much as your employer will match.
– Leverage compound growth to make impressive improvements. When you invest, the money compounds and as is always said, the earlier you start, the better for you.
Invest in low cost index funds
– If one has a long-term horizon of investment, then he/she should opt for index funds that are low-cost and diversified across the major indexes. This makes investing easier and cheaper for investors.
– Consistently purchase shares and invest in a gradual manner to gradually accumulate a specific amount of shares.
Automate Your Finances
– Use online banking to arrange for regular transfers from the checking to saving accounts and setting up automated payments for bills. This ensures that one is able to manage his or her finances so as to avoid incurring more costs through late payments of bills among other things.
– Finally, such contributions do not require much effort in putting money in an investment account, it happens automatically.
Review and Reassess Regularly
– This should be done on a more extended interval of three to six months to ensure that you are on track regarding the financial goals and the set budget. Adjust any necessary changes in expenditure or any change required in the savings plans.
– Portfolio rebalance at least once a year to ensure your investment portfolio is properly diversified and adjusted to meet your risk and return requirements.
Using ideas from this post can assist you save and invest for much better money control, pay off more debts in less time, and enhance your monetary success. The most important point, however, is to remain strictly adherent to your savings and expenditures.

Sadly, it was time to finally leave Galway this morning. I relaxed a bit in the morning and took the 9:00 express bus to Limerick, then transferred to the bus that took me to Killarney.
It’s kind of a cool little town. Lots of shops. Lots of restaurants. Lots of pubs. All more or less copies of each other, expanding out down a few different streets. I circled through everything this evening but just decided to go to Tesco and buy some things to make for dinner.
As I was walking around, I ran across St. Mary’s Cathedral:
Since I’ve got a rather ambitious schedule this weekend, I wanted to get started right away. Killarney National Park is a place I could probably spend a few days, but I can’t keep delaying things. So I walked to the end of the street and rented a bike (even though it was 2:00), and figured I’d ride around.
But the guy there was nice enough to tell me what to do, which works for me. Sent me to Aghadoe – a place that wasn’t even on my radar. He gave me verbal directions, which if you know me, is unlikely to end well. But I survived, with only a few minor hiccups. This was the “small hill” he told me I would need to ride the bike up.
Just a word of advice to anyone who is considering biking to see the sights: anything described as having “beautiful views” very likely involves some kind of elevation. I don’t know why I don’t just rent a car.
But the view really was spectacular. As sweaty as I was, even I was able to appreciate it, a little bit at least.
Right before the overlook at Aghadoe, there’s a really big cemetery. It was kind of cool, so I took a picture of that too.
So consider that leg of the trip of a success. Didn’t get too lost. Found the proper destination. Saw some nice countryside. And all that in time to jump down to Ross Castle before it closed.
Killarney National Park is pretty huge, but Ross Castle sites on the north end in a little alcove of sorts. I figure I could handle viewing that today, then go down to the national park tomorrow and have a rather relaxing day (or I might just get up and go).
Ross Castle isn’t all that impressive in itself (our tour guide for Connemara ended just about every sentence with “in itself” which was profoundly annoying at first and I’ll probably never use the phrase again without thinking about it), but the view around it is quite nice. Here’s a picture of the castle with the lake and mountains in the background.
I took the guided tour, which was nice but nothing special after all the tours I’ve done. The tour guide was kind of cute though, so that was nice at least. Here’s the view from the second floor of the castle (we couldn’t go all the way up).
Now I need to figure out what I’m going to do tomorrow. I’ve only loosely planned ahead, but now there is a bit of urgency since I don’t know where I’m staying tomorrow night, let alone what I’m doing in the morning (more touring here or moving on).

Skillset: PHP / WooCommerce / SAP
Challenge: With an incomplete dataset across 2 SAP installations and no current means of automated online ordering for new or existing account customers. All orders are place via telephone or email.
Result: Increased online presence with greater access to new and existing customers. Optmised business processes.
This project was a challenging e-commerce project that involved different business units around the world using different datasets in different SAP configurations.
Working with an external SAP consultant we were able to map out a data processes throughout the organisation and transpose that across the e-commerce mechanics.
The platform operates through 2 way API calls to make sure that both systems are continuously in sync with each other.
Current clients on account are able to purchase using their account and the client has the ability to set account limits.
Dealing with industrial products means we’ve created a delivery matrix to automatically handle across 3 options based on weight and location.

I have five office chairs and a desk which a previous tenant had left behind when they moved out. I knew that these items need to be given away so I decided I would give “freecycle” a try and see how it compares to Craigslist. I’ve used Craigslist a lot in the past, as I tend to give away a lot of stuff which tenants tend to leave behind. When I set up a “freecycle” account, I really did not like the fact that I had to use a Yahoo account. While I already had a Yahoo account, it seemed silly that I had to use one in order to join a “freecycle” group. The next thing that I did not really care for was when I posted on freecycle, I could not add a photo of the items directly to the posted entry. I had to separately add the photo to an album else where on the site and make reference to it. I did get immediate response from the posting and it was nice to get an email from someone in the neighborhood that was will to pick up a chair. After a week, I only had one chair get picked up. I’m going back to Craigslist and posting over there as it is way easier to get the posting listed. I think the net result really is the same, free on Craigslist or free on freecycle, both keep things from going into the landfill.

Playing Star Trek Online last night I ended up in a total stalemate situation that gave me no way to win. Having completed two-thirds of a mission the final act was to assist some NPC ships in taking down a dreadnought. However, even with all power to the weapons I was barely able to lower a single shield section of the dreadnought and fire off a proton torpedo salvo, which would take about 5% of the hull down. But then the enemy appeared to have a hull repair system that was quicker than my ability to damage the ship.
To make it more of a problem, the dreadnought equally seemed unable to take out myself or the NPC ships, thus we were locked into a never-ending battle which I stuck with for about 45 minutes as I attempted different tactics to make a dent in the defences but to no avail. There simple was no way to win, so I had to fall back and warp out, aborting the mission.
I guess this situation is not uncommon in an MMO, but for some reason in the world of Star Trek it felt like there should be a way to win, some key tactic I could pull out Kirk style to achieve the apparently impossible, but it was not to be, I am no Kirk.
So now that this is Free to Play is anyone trying it?
I played the beta long ago, but it was very buggy at the time, often spawning as a ship for away missions which was funny the first time, then quickly a major annoyance so I left it behind and once it went subscription I found little draw to pay.
However after downloading the client the other night I’ve now put a couple of hours into commanding my own star ship and crew but it is much as I remember. The away missions are a little dull, and uninspired, but I do enjoy the slow methodical space combat, adjusting power setups to boost shields, angling the ship to protect weakened areas, making use of your command crew’s special abilities to turn the tide of battle. The sound of releasing a photon torpedo barrage is still cool.
Frankly if the game was all space combat I would much prefer it, maybe saving the on foot sections for just story progression and interaction minimising ground combat.
Still for free it’s worth a try if you ever liked playing the old Bridge Commander or perhaps even the original Star Trek pen and paper RPG. And if you happen across the U.S.S. Stexington on your explorations of strange new worlds and civilisations then be sure to hail me. 🙂
Finally finished my three player play through of Dead Island with Linda and old school mate Woodoggies. Have to say we found the whole thing very enjoyable. The scavenging for parts and in-your-face melee combat worked so well in co-op, creating a real feeling of being a small group surviving the outbreak. I feel it’s very much like Borderlands, a game which only reaches it’s greatness when played with others. We still have a lot to do in the game though, various fun and some grinding achievements to try and obtain, but given how much we enjoy the experience I can’t see any of them being too much of a hardship.
If you can find a couple or even three friends to play with I highly recommend it.
