"Processing a claim through the vaccine court can take up to 10 years, and in the end, no blame or culpability is assigned. In the mean time, the heartbreak continues, medical bills pile up and the daily potential for more children to be harmed goes on due to government protection of products that are believed to be the 'sterling backbones' of our country's public health policy.
"Who can parents and vaccine-injured adults hold accountable for injuries caused by vaccines? The system is designed so that no one -- neither a person nor an entity -- can be tagged with accountability: Not the vaccine manufacturer; not the doctor who recommended the vaccines nor the person who administered them; not the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices members (ACIP) who added the vaccine to the pediatric schedule; not the IOM members (Institute of Medicine) who perpetuate the mantra 'vaccines are safe and effective' and stonewall opportunities for change and improvement. No one is to blame, that is, except the 'defective child' who could not tolerate the immunological onslaught caused by the vaccines."
Accountability in the case of vaccines is legally nullified by the U.S. Government. Any American attempting to litigate against any member of the vaccine industry will have to fight against a team of attorneys from the U.S. Department of Justice, who will endeavor to ensure that the lawsuit fails. American tax dollars are paying them to ensure that justice is not served. The U.S. Department of Justice has officially advertised for these attorney positions on-line. The public posting disappeared immediately after we reported this story, but we had the forethought to keep a copy.
Here are a few excerpts from that D.O.J. job offering page.
"About the Office: The Civil Division, Torts Branch, is seeking an experienced attorney for a position in the Office of Vaccine Litigation. Trial attorneys in the Vaccine Litigation Group represent the interests of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in all cases filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The cases involve claims of injury as a result of the receipt of certain vaccines.
"Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: The position offers a unique experience in public service. The legal and medical issues at stake in each case vary greatly. Attorneys in the section independently manage heavy case loads, and while streamlined procedures are utilized, cases frequently involve complex liability and damages issues. The position involves significant trial practice. Vaccine staff attorneys are obliged to ensure that the Vaccine Trust Fund, from which damage awards are paid, is protected and, where eligibility criteria are met, that fair compensation is distributed to those whom Congress has intended. Attorneys appear frequently before the Office of Special Masters in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and also appear before the judges of the Court, as well as in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit when handling appeals."
The lawyers are salaried up to $133,543 by the Federal Government (using U.S. tax dollars) to make certain that children with disorders, such as autism, never get the assistance that they need, in order to protect the mythology of vaccines. The U.S. Department of Justice described its job of protecting the pharmaceutical industry from child victims as a "public service". Meanwhile, the well-protected pharmaceutical industry is expected to continue making record profits on a yearly basis, and to be the biggest contributor to politicians. | 2019-04-22T05:20:29Z | https://healthwyze.org/reports/200-if-vaccines-are-safe-then-why-did-congress-give-them-legal-immunity-why-are-they-above-the-law |

A new bill (A1907) that would extend the statewide moratorium on the collection of non-residential development fees (“NRDFs”) recently passed both the New Jersey State Assembly and Senate. It now awaits Governor Christie’s signature. If signed into law, the bill would reinstate the moratorium on the collection of NRDFs that expired July 1, 2013, extending it to December 31, 2014. Developers who paid NRDFs during that period would be eligible to seek a refund, which must be granted so long as the NRDF has not already been expended for affordable housing.
NRDFs were initially established in New Jersey by P.L. 2008, c. 46 and codified in the Municipal Land Use Law. For any non-residential development, the required NRDF is 2.5% of the equalized assessed value of land and proposed improvements. The NRDF is collected at the municipal level and paid into a state fund for the development of affordable housing.
The initial moratorium on the collection of NRDFs was contained in P.L. 2009, c. 90 and ended July 1, 2010. The second moratorium was found in P.L. 2011, c. 122, which extended the moratorium to July 1, 2013. As of July 1, 2013, municipalities were again required to impose a n NRDF on new non-residential development. No NRDFs may be assessed against projects that received site plan approval prior to July 1, 2013, provided that a construction permit is issued by July 1, 2015.
If signed into law, the re-imposition of the moratorium would be an important albeit relatively short lived, benefit to non-residential developers. | 2019-04-23T03:05:58Z | http://www.ghclaw.com/will-governor-christie-extend-the-moratorium-on-nonresidential-development-fees |

The blast from a primary fission component triggers a secondary fusion explosion in a thermonuclear bomb or warhead. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
…of the fissile isotopes uranium-235, plutonium-239, or some combination of these; however, some explosive devices using high concentrations of uranium-233 also have been constructed and tested.
…latter isotope eventually decays into plutonium-239—a fissile material of great importance in nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Another fissile isotope, uranium-233, can be formed by neutron irradiation of thorium-232.
…used to create quantities of plutonium-239 from uranium-238, the principal constituent of naturally occurring uranium. Absorption of a neutron in the uranium-238 nucleus yields uranium-239, which decays after 23.47 minutes through electron emission into neptunium-239 and ultimately, after 2.356 days, into plutonium-239.

We stayed in 2 king suite. Nice amenities. We liked the sustainability of shampoos etc. Excellent restaurant and service. Overall rather pricey though. Staff was very attentive. We got an early check in which was nice. Thank you.
We LOVED this hotel! What a fantastic experience! The decor was amazing and the hotel is the perfect combination of urban chic and cowboy. I got great props from the rest of our group for picking it! The location is/ perfect. The staff was always helpful and friendly. I had a bit of trouble getting through to someone several times when I called and at check-in so at times they seemed just slightly understaffed but they were always courteous and willing to help.
White Buffalo Club is a phenomenal place to stay. Aside of the accommodations being first class the restaurant is one of the best in Jackson.
The Restaurant and Chef was amazing from the greeting of the host to the server and each plate that came to our table!
Worth the cost. Beds were very comfortable and very close to main square. Staff friendly and helpful. The bathroom was very nice. Wish we had longer to stay. | 2019-04-18T12:59:44Z | https://www.whitebuffaloclub.com/white-buffalo-club-suites |
Background: Religiosity and spirituality have been found to be substantially associated with a variety of mental health and illness parameters. However, relevant empirical evidence is sparse, and more research is needed in order to further understand what role religiosity/spirituality plays in the development, progression and healing process of a psychiatric disease. Thus, the purpose of this study was to find out more information about the religious/spiritual needs of anxious/depressive inpatients. Sampling and Methods: A total sample of 200 well-characterized anxious/depressive inpatients was investigated. Results were compared to those from an adjusted group of healthy individuals (n = 200). A newly developed Multidimensional Inventory for Religious/Spiritual Well-Being was applied to both groups, together with established psychiatric measures (e.g. Beck Depression Inventory). Results: Of the dimensions measured, Hope and Forgiveness turned out to be the strongest negative correlates of anxious/depressive symptoms (p < 0.001). Moreover,a lower degree of Hope (p < 0.001) and Experiences of Sense and Meaning (p < 0.01) was found in the patient group compared to healthy controls. In accordance with the literature, religiosity was confirmed to be a substantial suicidal buffer (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Our results account for a more comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, emphasizing in particular the role that religiosity/spirituality plays in overall well-being. Furthermore, religious/spiritual well-being might be considered an important resource to explore, in particular for affective mentally disordered patients. | 2019-04-20T04:59:45Z | http://www.a-research.info/en/publication/soul-darkness-dimensions-religious-spiritual-well-being-among-mood-disordered-inpatients |

Hello @techi, there is an active discussion for Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that you might want to join here: http://mayocl.in/2uYG8RB.
I can understand the frustration with all the tests and missing your gastroenterologist due to his retiring. Hopefully you will connect with another one who can help. i agree with you that sometimes no news is good news and it definitely helps when you are able to look at the bright side and keep a positive attitude in the midst of uncertainty.
I am praying that your spinal tap and consultation go well and the doctors can figure out if any of the problems are due to your medications. Can you let us know how your consultation goes?
It seems like you will never get to the bottom of these diagnosis. With all the great doctors at Mayo they will eventually figure out any issues and stay on top of them. Diagnosis, i have found to take a year or more. The process of elimination will prevail. There are so many symtoms that are signals.
I am curious who your gastroenterologist was at Mayo? I go to Dr Burdick at Mayo Scottsdale and hope it isnt him. | 2019-04-22T12:31:27Z | https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sle-1/ |
PETG filament has the reputation of combining the benefits of ABS (stronger, temperature resistant, more durable) and PLA (easy to print, better layer adhesion, less warping, and recyclable) in one material.
Overheating regular PET makes it hazy and brittle. Not with PETG filament: The added glycol prevents the material from crystallizing and becoming breakable. The new material is highly impact-resistant.
Unlike PET, it is sealable by RF welding.
Our Carbon Fiber reinforced PETG is made from Carbon Fibers infused into our normal reliable PETG.
Standard PETG reinforced with 15% high-modulus carbon fiber.

I’ve always loved the excitement of travel and the experiences of getting lost in a new culture. Over the years, my travels have taken me around the globe and I have so many great memories from each trip I’ve taken. Many of those memories are centered around special meals, shared with friends, in various places around the world. I love trying new foods and flavors and I especially love that those foods can come home with me and help me to relive those great memories in my own kitchen! When I’m feeling the wanderlust and I don’t have time to hit the road, I head to the grocery store and get cooking. This week’s Good Food Reads is inspired by some of my favorite foods from travel destinations I’ve loved in my life. I hope you love them as much as I do! | 2019-04-19T09:20:23Z | https://withtwospoons.com/tag/travel/ |

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis had the spotlight on him for all the wrong reasons on Monday when he set a new major-league record for consecutive hitless at-bats by a non-pitcher.
While Davis’ 0-for-49 streak dating back to last season has been hard to watch, it isn’t the first time a big leaguer has struggled through a historically bad stretch.
In 2017, New York Yankees powerhouse Aaron Judge set baseball ablaze with his ability to hit the long ball, but he also set a major-league record after striking out in 37 consecutive games from July 8 to Aug. 22. Although he ended the year with 208 whiffs, he still managed to win AL Rookie of Year and was runner-up for MVP thanks to his 52 home runs, 128 runs scored, and 114 RBIs.
Retired pitcher Anthony Young owns an MLB-record 27 consecutive losing decisions from 1992-93. However, Tampa Bay Rays reliever/opener Ryne Stanek has a similar winless record to his credit. While no-decisions aren’t nearly as bad as losses, the right-hander has made 31 consecutive starts without being credited with a win. This stretch will likely continue as Stanek has yet to go deeper than two innings in his career.
It took Ben Revere 1,467 at-bats to hit his first career home run, and he wound up hitting seven long balls across eight big-league seasons. The same can’t be said for shortstop Tommy Thevenow, who went a record stretch of 932 games without hitting a long ball over a 12-year span from 1926-38. Thevenow was from a different era of baseball where home runs weren’t as frequent as they are today, but he did manage to hit two dingers – both came in 1926 – during his 15-year career.
Utility players Andy Fox and Brooks Conrad went 40 straight plate appearances without getting on base during different points in their careers. Fox’s stretch occurred over a 28-game span in 2004 and ended in the second-last contest before his retirement. Conrad’s streak spanned two seasons from Sept. 10, 2011, through June 1, 2012. He finally ended his drought with a home run off of Erik Bedard on June 2.
Washington Nationals reliever Trevor Rosenthal tied the MLB record for most consecutive appearances without recording an out on Sunday. Rosenthal’s five straight ineffective outings date back to 2017 with the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-hander has allowed nine earned runs over this stretch, giving him the dreaded infinite ERA. | 2019-04-21T01:11:52Z | http://www.sportyshow.com/5-of-the-worst-individual-streaks-in-mlb-history/ |

We now run MJB kitchens and bathrooms alongside MJB builders.
This was set up as we were asked by customers if we could provide this service as most local firms were so expensive and often asked for 90% deposits up front before you would even have your new kitchen started.
As we completed so many extensions we found providing this service helped our customers from the outset with regards to electrical and plumbing issues.
As we provide a planning service free of charge from a local firm we could then design the kitchen to work in the best way possible way to our customers needs.
As most customers could then have the time to look at all the options included in the complete costings before any work commenced and any changes could easily be altered.
We provide the service with a small initial deposit and on delivery of your kitchen we ask for payment only for the actual kitchen. Only once fitted and completed do we ask our customers for full payment and only when they are completely satisfied with our work.
All our kitchens come with a 5 year guarantee and fitting is covered for 12 months from completion.
We have some photos available on this site of complete contracts. Please see our Gallery page. | 2019-04-24T05:04:39Z | http://www.mjbbuildersltd.co.uk/kitchens-and-bathrooms/ |
Spotify has been quite a busy outfit in 2014, first with their unlimited ad-supported streaming for iOS and Android tablets, followed by discounted student subscriptions in the United States last week; but it seems they were saving the best for last with today's cross platform UI overhaul.
Let us begin with the Mac app, which barring a handful of minor UI iterations over the years has largely remained unchanged in terms of its look and functionality, and was beginning to feel seriously dated. That finally changes today with a brand new interface sporting a darker coat of paint that has apparently tested well with users during extensive beta testing. That being said, the app's basic functionality and placement of core UI elements hasn't changed, so existing users should feel right at home.
The iOS app has also received a thorough facelift, finally bringing it up to version 1.0.0. It takes several visual cues from the desktop app, combining them with iOS 7 style design elements to create an aesthetically pleasing user experience. The visual redesign also comes with a new typeface and icons, which are now consistent across platforms, creating a sense of cohesion, which was previously lacking. Finally, the iOS app also brings some welcome speed improvements, and genuinely feels 'snappier'.
From a functional standpoint, the desktop app now has a 'My Music' option in the sidebar, letting users add individual songs and albums, without the need to create new playlists. Fortunately, the 'My Music' option exists on iOS and Android apps as well, freeing users from infinitely scrolling through playlists. Today's update also does away with the iconic 'starring' feature, which may or may not sit well with the accustomed older user base (myself included).
I surmise some of these changes are probably being rolled out in phases, as I can still star tracks on the iOS app and the 'My Music' option hasn't appeared yet. In any case, this seems to be a pretty solid update, and users should appreciate the UI changes and performance improvements.
The redesigned iOS and web apps are available now and the Mac update should be rolled out to all users within the next few days. No word yet on updates to the Windows, Windows Phone and Android apps, but these should hopefully follow soon. | 2019-04-23T08:00:21Z | https://www.anandtech.com/show/7918/spotify-introduces-major-cross-platform-ui-overhaul |
Accountability matters – even on municipal charges. Mobile, Alabama business owners and other victims of crime will now have relief from the revolving door of “catch & release” that plagued their community since the adoption of this social experiment.
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) – Officials with the city of Mobile say they’re making changes to a system that didn’t work. For the past several years municipal court was allowing people arrested on virtually any city offense to sign their own bond and get out of jail without paying any money.
“Frankly how it was set up, was not set up in anybody’s interest they were allowing anyone arrested for any municipal offense, other than domestics or DUI, they were allowing anyone to sign their own bond,” said Graddick. Bail bondsmen say the problem came to a head about a year ago when people who signed their own bond didn’t go back to court.
“I think it was tried to see if it would work and frankly it was not working,” said Graddick. In the last month, Graddick says the municipal court has begun requiring a cash component for more municipal offenses, sometimes allowing someone brought up on multiple charges to sign their own bond but then have a cash bond for at least one offense. | 2019-04-22T14:46:04Z | https://www.usbailreform.com/municipal-court-vows-to-cut-back-on-suspects-released-signing-their-own-bond/ |

Crafters seem to be available with two heights of handrake handle. If yours is higher than the seat base then you will need to add a spacer under the swivel so it can clear the handbrake on its way around. Also if you do not have height adjustable seats you'll have to remove some of the plastic seat base trim.
The swivel can be made to work with a twin passenger seat. The trick is: remove the extra spacers on the central seats seat belt receiver so it sits as close as possible to the seat base box, then when you want to spin the drivers seat you just need to slide the passengers seat cushion forwards - again this frees up a little bit of extra room to play with. | 2019-04-23T02:04:48Z | https://www.kiravans.co.uk/rib-driver-swivel-sprinter-crafter |
Danni has no memories before she was five years old. When she was five, she was left at her daycare and never picked up. She spent the rest of her childhood in foster care. Now twenty years later, Danni works in an antique shop lives alone with her dog, and she is having visions. Danni recalls having visions years ago when she was little, but somehow she repressed them until she didn't have them anymore. Now they are back, and Danni doesn't understand their meaning. A handsome man guides her through the lush hills of Ireland to a cave where a man is holding his dead son, and a woman with two children is beseeching someone in the shadows.
Sean Ballogh suddenly appears after the visions start and claims he is there to take her back to her family. He states that they have been searching for her for twenty years and thought she may be dead. He inquires where her brother and her mother are, which stun Danni. She had forgotten she had a brother until Sean mentions it. Wondering what else her memory has suppressed, Danni starts to research her past on her computer. When she finds a newspaper clipping of Sean's death, she is shocked.
Danni doesn't let on that she knows Sean is a ghost, but she is upset that her attraction to him will come to naught. When he comes to her house again, he brings her a family heirloom, a necklace with silver and gold spirals encrusted with jewels. When he fastens it around her neck though, Danni and Sean suddenly find themselves plummeting down a dark hole. When they awake, they are both naked and in bed, and twenty years into the past. They've been given a chance to re-write the past if they can figure out how to before time runs out.
HAUNTING BEAUTY is a superb debut. The writing is seamless; written against a backdrop of Ireland in all its lushness and myths. Danni and Sean are passionate and full of vitality and depth. The mystery is well-turned and builds until the final, shocking climax. If you read one book this summer, don't miss this one! Fantastic! | 2019-04-26T15:45:45Z | http://romancejunkiesreviews.com/artman/publish/suspense/Haunting_Beauty.shtml |

You can tell a lot about a man from his socks. When you catch a glimpse of the socks of Mr. Benny McFarland, you’ll almost always see either Chicago Cubs or Mickey Mouse. It says a lot about his personality.
Benny took his first walk along the Purpose Road in the fall of 1982. For many years, he and his wife Betty toured Appalachia to take in the beautiful autumn scenery. A young lady gave them a tour of the campus, and they were immediately taken with the mission of the school and type of students Alice Lloyd College attracts.
In 2017, Benny came back to ALC’s campus and had lunch with that same young lady, 35 years later. He said it felt like he had never left. At 87 years old, Benny’s memory is as sharp as ever. If you ask where he lives, Benny will proudly tell you that he still lives in “the same old farmhouse” he was born in, right outside of Indianapolis. In 1950, Benny married his high school sweetheart, Betty Lyster. The two enjoyed 62 years of marriage before Betty passed away in 2013. Together, they have 4 kids, 9 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren.
Before retirement, Benny worked for International Harvester, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery. However, his real passions have always been baseball and travel. As a huge Chicago Cubs fan, one of Benny’s prized possessions is a World Series ring from 1908. He also has one from the last time the Cubs won in 2016. Even during rough seasons, his faith never wavers, and he looks forward to the day the Cubs will sweep the World Series again.
In addition to taking in baseball, Benny still plays trivia every Monday and gets together with the guys to play cards every Tuesday. He also stays involved with Veterans’ organizations, seeking to give back a little to those who gave so much. Most notably, he is also big ALC Eagles fan and plans to bring some family and friends with him to support the ALC Eagles and Lady Eagles basketball teams in 2019.
Benny’s traveling buddy is now Mike, a friend of his son’s who sometimes visits ALC with him as well. He says that Mike isn’t quite the companion that Betty was, but he’s a pretty good driver, so he keeps him around. The two of them often take trips to historical sites and big cities to take in sports and entertainment. Whether it’s Hawaii, Chicago, or the sunny beaches of Florida, Benny stays on the move. In fact, he has been to Disney World 36 times with various friends and family and plans to go again next year.
Benny reminds us that the mission of Alice Lloyd College is unique among other colleges in the Appalachian region and America. The full richness of life is waiting for those who make it their mission to find and experience it, and Benny sees in ALC students the same thirst for life that he has. Out of all the places he visits in his travels, Alice Lloyd College, he says, will always be his favorite. | 2019-04-19T21:02:57Z | http://www.alc.edu/2019/01/donor-spotlight-benny-mcfarland/ |

“Now,” Paul says, “it’s time to forgive and console” this person who had made life so ‘painful’ for Paul so that he won’t be overwhelmed by guilt, shame, sorrow. “Reaffirm your love for him” Paul tells the Corinthians.
Because the first word of the second chapter of II Corinthians is “So” we have to start with the last words of the first chapter. Paul writes: “I do not mean to imply that we lord it over your faith; rather, we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in the faith. Paul gets to “So” by telling the church in Corinth that he and they are co-workers for their joy and that they stand firm in the faith.
“So” Paul writes “I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit. Another “painful visit”? That implies that there was a previous visit that turned out to be painful. What we will soon learn is that instead of a return engagement Paul wrote a ‘painful letter’. It was out of distress and anguish of heart and with tears that it was written. That suggests that what had made the previous visit painful was no little consequence. It’s generally accepted that he had left Ephesus for Thessaloniki or Philippi as many as three years after his visit to Corinth. Paul had travelled from Corinth into Asia, carrying the Gospel and carried the offense done to him in his heart, almost like a treasure. And it was only after some time on the road he writes a letter, a severe letter, unloading on these people in Corinth. Talking about holding a grudge.
II Corinthians gets overlooked because it doesn’t fit our idea of a contiguous correspondence. There is an undeniable incongruity between the first part which is conciliatory and gratifying and which makes direct reference to a painful, regretted letter and the last, beginning with the 10th chapter, were we are reading about personal misunderstandings and bitterness. The possibility suggests itself that what we actually have in chapters 10-13 is Paul’s painful letter.
Another interesting thing about II Corinthians is that more than any other writing of the Apostle Paul, this letter reveals his human weaknesses, his holding onto wounded feelings, his sternness, irony, rebuke, impassioned self-vindication, but also his spiritual strength, the deepest tenderness of affection, humility, a justified self-respect, zeal for the welfare of the weak and suffering, as well as for the progress of the Christ’s church and for the spiritual advancement of its members.
Here he comes off a bit self serving when he says he wrote the letter in the sincere hope that what had happened before wouldn’t be repeated when he made a subsequent visit. “I wrote it as I did, so that when I came, I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice.” It is something of an apology for if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? That’s a story in itself. In a way it’s freeing to know that Paul popped off, said a little more than he intended and hurt some people that he really didn’t want to hurt at all. It was a Mills Brother’s number one hit that comes to mind.
It finally occurs to Paul that his painful letter was a little too rough on the Meeting in Corinth. In retrospect he tells the Corinthians that he wrote it, as he says: not to cause you pain, but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you. But one thing was clear, it had caused a great deal of pain. I imagine that the awareness of the damage done came from others who had visited Corinth and reported the situation to Paul. I can even imagine that at first he dismissed it. Was it an important enough to distract him from the important work of ministry? But finally it did sink in. And he writes this letter to them.
6This punishment by the majority is enough for such a person; 7so now instead you should forgive and console him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8So I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. 9I wrote for this reason: to test you and to know whether you are obedient in everything. 10Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ. 11And we do this so that we may not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
Paul says that the person who caused him ‘pain’ actually caused pain to the whole congregation and in response the congregation brought punishment on the perpetrator – and Paul says the punishment was enough. Now, Paul says, it’s time to forgive and console this person so that he won’t be overwhelmed by guilt, shame, sorrow. “Reaffirm your love for him” Paul says.
The word translated as “forgive” in 2 Cor 2:7 is charizomai (“to give freely”), which is the same word Paul will use when he calls on them to “give freely” to the collection for the poor in Jerusalem (in 2 Cor 8-9). The reason Paul so stresses the importance of forgiving — and the mutuality involved in his forgiving anyone they forgive — is that both he and the Corinthians all stand together before the “face” (prosopon) of Christ, the source of their life together. Indeed, he warns, we forgive so as not to be taken advantage of by Satan, whose intentions are to destroy any community we might have with one another through Christ.
This passage, as a whole, testifies to how damaging it can be to individuals and the Meeting should one person fails with regard to hospitality. But imagine how much greater that would be should that person believed in the very depth of their heart that Paul needed to be corrected. That can certainly be us, so certain of our understanding of right and wrong, of how things ought to be and keenly aware when things don’t go as we believe they should. I’m guessing that the lesson here has to do with a lack of humility and the need to judge another. Whatever, it certainly offended Paul. And Paul decided that despite telling the Corinthians he would made a return visit he changed his mind – going back would be too painful.
And it follows how damaging it can be if someone persists in holding a grudge and then gives voices to it which draws everyone’s attention to the failure of one among the many. It certainly weakened Paul’s message, sapped his energy and created a distraction. Paul awakened to the need to be reconciled to his brothers and sisters in Christ.
And then when the whole congregation brings sanctions upon the offender. Some groups practice shunning, is that what went on here? We aren’t sure. Other groups practice excommunication – denying the offender table grace. How do we do that? Drawing lines between those on the inside and everyone else is done any number of ways. The way it’s done isn’t important. What we know is that when Paul learned of it he says “enough!”. He says, as much to himself as to the Corinthians, that it’s necessary to forgive and console. The church just isn’t the church without forgiveness. After all, we Christians understand ourselves first of all as people who need to be—and have been—forgiven by God. But then what does forgiveness mean? Does it mean, for instance, that once an apology has been offered and accepted, everything goes back to how it was before? Is forgiveness a reset button? Do victims have a say in setting future boundaries? Are there conditions that need to be met in order for forgiveness to take place? If we insist that victims extend unconditional forgiveness, isn’t that grace for the offender, and law for the victim?
Far too often we act as if forgiveness has to be earned, that there has to be evidence of repentance. God in Christ forgave us without any evidence of repentance on our part, without our doing anything at all to earn his forgiveness; and I think he expects us to follow his example in relation to others. We are to make others whole as we have been made whole ourselves. The disciples were told to forgive an uncomfortable number of times. When asked who our neighbor is, Jesus replied with the Parable of the Good Samaritan to show how we ourselves must be neighbors to others. We are to concentrate on what we can do, not on what we think someone else should do, but we have a tendency to waste time and effort on their sins and shortcomings which are much more visible to us than our own. We want to do the right thing but, like the Apostle Paul, we have the sinking feeling that all to often we fail. We forget that Christ came among us to deal with failure and restore us to fullness of life. It would be nice if all this came naturally, but in reality we are being asked stretch in ways we never thought possible. Jesus asked, Christ’s Spirit asks, Paul asks us to experience more deeply than ever before God’s unfailing love for us, and to share that love with others. We are being asked, not in any power of our own, but in the power of the Christ who abides within us, to become an aqueduct, a channel for the life-giving fountain which is Christ. That is no mean task for us all. | 2019-04-23T17:50:10Z | https://spokanefriends.com/2016/05/31/enough-its-time-to-forgive-and-console/ |

Mikesell's are one of the world's oldest Chips companies, so they have understandably had a few branding changes over the years. This latest design features a photographic image of the flavor and contents, which works depending on the flavoring - this is a not-so-good-case because you have photographic imagery mixed with cartoon flames. The latest logo design has an odd stamp type serrated edge. The flavor has a color coded box, but we think they missed a trick here. The creamy colored bottom section of the bag looks innocuous as a background, but the top is a dark blue (for the Groovy range) for all the flavors. This should be flavor color coded.
These were not Kettle Cooked Chips so the crunch was not hard, firm and brittle. Instead these were thicker than the average Chip so the crunch was softer and more food like, than Chip like. A crunchy, but somewhat muffled sound.
'Groovy' relates to the Ridged design of the Chips - geddit. This certainly made them thicker than Mikesell's regular Chips. Also interesting was the liberal seasoning that saw the odd Chip fairly naked while the fully clothed members of the club were coated in a dark and thick orange seasoning powder.
The Nose Plunge test revealed a slightly smoky paprika hot sauce aroma. Often, with an interestingly titled flavor, the first question is - What is in it? Here it is more of a case of what is NOT in it! The little Chip geniuses that stir away at hubble pots of fancy ingredients in Chips factories (we imagine they all look like Wizard of Oz munchkins), have certainly a got a combo going here. We obviously went for the darker colored Chips first, and unlike so many spicy, hot sauce Chips, these were actually, shock horror, hot! Best of all, they were not hot, as in - here is a challenge. They were hot and spicy nice. | 2019-04-25T19:41:18Z | https://www.chipsandcrisps.com/mikesells-goodn-hot-groovy-potato-chips-review.html |
Am I the only one who’s read one of these?
I’m sure many of you reading this think you are fully aware of how to win a game of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. “Take six Prize cards, of course! You can also win by Knocking Out your opponent’s last Pokemon in play, or if your opponent runs out of cards in their deck. Everyone who’s read the rulebook can tell you that.” Yes, how silly of me. Everyone does know that. Any newcomer knows these win conditions just as well as the best player in the world. Yet, the best player in the world will win games more often than the newcomer. Why is that exactly? While both of these players know how to win, only the best player knows how to win; or, rather, knows the path to victory that is most likely to succeed. In fact, I would go so far as to say that knowing their path to victory directly contributed to making those players better — high-tier optimization came naturally as a result of playing towards their win condition.
A lack of direction isn’t just a problem for beginners, either. All the time I see mid-level players who are clearly not playing toward their easiest win condition. They’ll make plays that don’t help them win, or miss a key play that could have swung the game in their favor. This lack of awareness can cost you games that were in your control the whole time. On the other side of this spectrum, I have seen pro players make miraculous comebacks because they were able to identify their best win condition during the game and perfectly execute it.
How do they figure out that win condition, you may ask? That’s the question I intend to answer today. I will go over the method I use to determine the easiest way to win a game of Pokemon — a skill anyone can benefit from. First, though, I think it is necessary to define a few in-game concepts that will help you wrap your head around the complex puzzle that is figuring out your best path to victory.
Most of you reading this are probably unfamiliar with me, so let me introduce myself before I go any further. I’ve been playing this game casually since all the way back to 2001, but only in 2012 did I start participating in competitive tournaments in the Delaware area. Since then, I have achieved some great accomplishments in the Masters division, including winning the 2016 Pennsylvania State Championships, placing 19th at the National Championships the same year, winning half a dozen League Cups, and qualifying for the World Championships three times. I have also been a PokeBeach staff member since 2014, starting out as a forum moderator and eventually climbing my way up to co-head of the article program.
My deck-building skills have never been what sets me apart from my other local players — nor is it my metagaming or knowledge of specific matchups. No, my success is most commonly a result of my in-game fundamentals: I can pick up any deck, good or bad, and formulate a gameplan to defeat whomever I’m sitting across from. I’ve been able to pull games out of my… Grass Energy that I had no right to win — other times I fail horribly, especially if I’ve never played the deck before, but even in the games I lose I always have a plan, and I attribute that to the concepts I’m going to highlight in this article.
An event that begins once both players’ boards are established to the point where they can use relevant attacks in succession until one player wins the game. It is no longer considered a Prize trade if one player misses a relevant attack, either because they whiffed a necessary card or because the opponent disrupted them.
Not that kind of trading!
This term in action might be what you call a “back-and-forth game”. This back-and-forth starts at a specific point in the game, at which point it becomes a Prize trade. In most matchups, that point is usually the mid game, roughly turn three or four, but it doesn’t have to to be considered a Prize trade.
It’s important to understand the concept of the Prize trade because walking into one could lose you the game right there. If it’s inevitable that you’re going to get all of your Prize cards first, by all means, hit things until you win… but if your opponent is going to win first, you’ve sealed your own fate by engaging in a Prize trade. Unless you can somehow disrupt your opponent’s strategy, you’re falling right into your opponent’s trap.
Setting up for a Prize trade is pretty simple. The biggest thing you will need to do is establish enough attackers to last for the whole game; this includes all the necessary Energy, Tools, Stadiums, support Pokemon such as Malamar, etc. that allow them to function. Then, make sure you have any cards you need to play at a specific time in your hand, such as Guzma. Setting up draw support Pokemon such as Zoroark-GX, Oranguru, or Magcargo can help you get those cards back if your hand is disrupted.
When to begin the Prize trade is more complicated. It’s always important to analyze the state of both players’ boards before doing so.
As I said earlier, don’t jump right into a Prize trade if you can’t keep up with your opponent. Instead of starting a Prize trade that you can’t finish, some things you can do are leave your attacker on the Bench and wait until you have a second one, spread out your Energy so your opponent can’t wipe out all of your attachments with one attack, or draw/thin more cards from your deck so you are more likely to draw what you need for the rest of the game. These are all greats tactics to help stabilize your board before a Prize trade begins.
You can still start a Prize trade if you don’t have all of your attackers set up; but if, based on your assumptions, you drawing what you need to win is less likely than your opponent drawing what they need to win, you may need to focus on finding the cards you’ll need for the rest of the game before going all in on grabbing those Prizes.
That’s all good if the Prize trade will work in your favor, but how should you go about entering a Prize trade if it favors your opponent? Even if your opponent’s ideal board would stomp yours, you may not have anything to worry about if they are currently unable to deliver ideal attacks. For example, if your opponent only has one attacker set up that is easy for you to Knock Out, or is unlikely to hit a specific card they need to confirm their next KO such as Professor Kukui or Counter Energy, going into a Prize trade may be a good idea.
Finally, there are a few things you can do during Prize trades to win them more often than not.
If you’re trying to turn around a Prize trade that’s not going in your favor, figure out what’s allowing your opponent to pull off their best attack every turn. Is it a support Pokemon? How about their large hand size? Maybe it’s the Choice Bands or Beast Energy Prism Star they already have in play? Always look for little ways to make your opponent more likely to whiff a Knock Out.
If you’re ahead on Prizes, make sure to patch up any holes in your board when possible. If you’re relying on a support Pokemon, a large hand, or cards in play, a good opponent is going to capitalize on that. Make sure you’re prepared to deal with your opponent’s disruptive tactics, or you might let a winning game slip out of your hands.
One reason the Prize trade isn’t going in your favor could be the attackers you’re using. Using bulky attackers that your opponent can’t OHKO or non-GX Pokemon is a great way to swing a game into your favor.
The key to any successful Prize-denying tactics is understanding your opponent’s deck enough that you know what will slow them down while also giving you an opening to gain the lead if needed.
Any play that contributes toward that player’s win condition and does damage to/Knocks Out the opponent’s Pokemon that they need to win.
Pressure is one of the most effective tactics you can employ in a game of Pokemon. It’s been the primary strategy of countless tier-one decks throughout the history of this game, such as Buzzwole-GX / Lycanroc-GX, Darkrai-EX variants, Tornadus-EX variants, the original Haymaker, and so many more.
When one of your attackers or support Pokemon gets Knocked Out, you need to replace it. That means finding the Pokemon itself, the Energy or Tool needed to attack, and the replacement for it once it inevitably gets Knocked Out too. This may require playing a draw Supporter, meaning you can’t use a utility Supporter like Guzma or Acerola on the same turn; and, since drawing cards is inherently random, you may not find the cards at all despite going through a good chunk of your deck. But what makes pressure so scary is that your opponent is nabbing themselves some Prizes while they’re applying it. It’s effectively putting you on a clock: either you set up through the damage you’re taking and start taking Prizes, or you will lose in X amount of turns. Sometimes you’ll lose before you even have a chance to set up.
One deck in the current format that is excellent at applying pressure is Zoroark-GX / Lycanroc-GX. Riotous Beating does enough damage to Knock Out any evolving Basic Pokemon and two-shot almost any Pokemon-GX, and with 4+ gust affects available to the deck and a highly consistent engine, the deck will win on turn seven (a combination of six one-shots on non-GX Pokemon or three two-shots on Pokemon-GX, minus the first turn where it doesn’t attack) a good percent of the time. It can win even earlier if it can Knock Out a Pokemon-GX with Dangerous Rogue GX, Weakness, or damage modifiers like Choice Band and Professor Kukui. Of course, there are ways to prevent the deck from winning on turn seven, such as non-GX Pokemon that have enough HP to survive Riotous Beating, healing, or applying enough pressure of your own to cause them to miss an attack.
This is one reason why speed and consistency are so important in the Pokemon TCG. If you’re being put on a clock, you’ve gotta beat the clock — out-speeding your opponent’s pressure is an easy way to ignore the clock you’re being put under.
Applying pressure is great, and it’s usually a good move if you’re able to do it; but are there ever times when you shouldn’t?
The biggest downside of applying pressure is it can leave your attacker and the Energy needed to attack with it vulnerable. Being overly aggressive can backfire if your opponent set up as fast or even faster than you. You may want to save your attacker until you can get more value out of it, such as by giving it a Weakness Policy so it survives longer or finding a Guzma so it can attack something more valuable. However, if hitting your opponent’s Active Pokemon is the most value that attacker is going to get this game and you don’t need to put the necessary Energy elsewhere, there’s no downside in using it to apply pressure.
Any Pokemon that is capable of allowing a player to win the game before their opponent, either directly or indirectly.
Pokemon in it’s simplest form is both players trying to stop each other from setting up threats while setting up threats of their own. Consistently setting up threats is one of the key elements that sets the tier-one decks apart from the unviable decks. Sometimes when I would build a rogue deck that didn’t work, I couldn’t wrap my head around why — I’m sure many of you can relate. When I look back on these decks now, not having good enough threats was often the reason they failed.
Step 1: Figure out how many turns it will take for your opponent to knock it out, and how many Prize cards that Pokemon will take before that happens. Is the amount of Prizes it takes before it goes down enough to win you the game, either directly or indirectly? If the answer is no, then it’s not a threat. If the answer is yes, go to Step 2.
Step 2: Apply Step 1 to each of your opponent’s Pokemon to figure out if any of them can win your opponent the game. If none of them can, then your Pokemon is a threat. If one or more of them can, go to Step 3.
Step 3: Compare the most threatening Pokemon that both players have. If your opponent’s will win them the game before yours will win you the game, then your Pokemon is not a threat. If yours will win you the game first, then it is a threat.
There’s one matchup that I think explains the concept of threats — and how to deal with them — better than any other: the Zoroark-GX / Lycanroc-GX mirror matchup.
In this matchup, Lycanroc-GX is the biggest threat. If the Lycanroc-GX is never Knocked Out, it can use Claw Slash on two Zoroark-GX to take four Prizes, then Dangerous Rogue GX any of the opponent’s Pokemon-GX to win the game. Even if you can deal with the Lycanroc-GX, the mere fact that your opponent can use it to win in three turns makes it a threat. By powering one up, your opponent is basically telling you “you have to deal with this, or you lose.” This is why, if your opponent has a Lycanroc-GX with enough Energy to attack, the best course of action is usually to either two-shot it or one-shot it with your own Dangerous Rogue GX. Even better than Knocking Out a Lycanroc-GX after it’s taken Prizes is stopping your opponent from ever setting one up; the best ways to do this are by Knocking Out all of your opponent’s Rockruff, or targeting your opponent’s Energy so that they can’t attach an Energy from their hand and use Multi Switch to power up a Lycanroc-GX in one turn.
There are some decks that are built around having tons of equally strong threats — so many, in fact, that trying to remove all of them is impossible if the deck is drawing well. The best example of this is Night March. The deck is designed to stream six Joltik/Pumpkaboo/Mew/Marshadow-GX per game, all of which have equally threatening attacks. Cards like Special Charge, Rescue Stretcher, Shaymin-EX, and Teammates make this process a breeze. Against decks like this, it’s often better to try and take Prizes as quickly as possible rather than try to neutralize all of their threats by knocking them out. It should be noted, though, that you can make the Pokemon less threatening in other ways, such as by playing Karen.
The first is to simply set up more than one threat — if your opponent deals with one, they’ll still lose to the other. Let’s take a look at a Malamar / Marshadow-GX deck as an example. If that deck has three or more Malamar in play, and enough Energy and a Necrozma-GX in the discard, each of their Marshadow-GX become a threat. Even if you Knock Out one Marshadow-GX, they can power up another one for a Prismatic Burst with little-to-no effort. This can put the opponent in checkmate if the Malamar player has few enough Prize cards.
You can tell I play this deck a lot.
The second is to apply pressure while powering up your bigger threat. If your Zoroark-GX is taking Prizes and removing opposing Pokemon from the board at too fast of a rate, your opponent may need to devote turns to respond to it or risk losing. If they decide to devote all of their time and resources to dealing with our Zoroark-GX, no obstacles will get in your way of setting up a Lycanroc-GX. Or, if they ignore the Zoroark-GX and go after the Lycanroc-GX, they’ll also have to find a way to win before Zoroark-GX takes six Prizes.
Some threats can be made much scarier if you get to a certain Prize count prior to setting them up. Going back to the Zoroark-GX / Lycanroc-GX mirror match example, Lycanroc-GX gets two-shot by Zoroark-GX or Tapu Lele-GX, so if you take two Prizes with an undamaged Lycanroc-GX, it will likely only get two more Prizes before it goes down. If you can get two Prizes with Zoroark-GX before going in with Lycanroc-GX, your opponent will have no way to stop it from taking the remainder of your Prizes outside of their own Lycanroc-GX.
If you know what your biggest threat is in a given matchup, you can do minor things to punish your opponent for responding to it. One of the best players in my area, Isaiah Rufus, took advantage of this in one of our top cut matches at a League Cup. In the Zoroark-GX / Lycanroc-GX mirror match, on his first turn going second, he elected to set up three Rockruff and two Zorua, then attached a Fighting Energy to his Rockruff. He could have gotten a third Zorua instead of a third Rockruff with his Brigette, but he specifically wanted this setup. This confused me at first — “wouldn’t he rather try to set up more Zoroark-GX to increase his consistency? Having more than two Rockruff down at a time is unnecessary, so what gives?” After thinking about it though, this made perfect sense: he knew that I needed to remove his Energy from the board or risk going down several Prizes to a Lycanroc-GX; and, because he was going second, he assumed that I would draw the necessary cards to Knock Out the Rockruff on my following turn. This play utilizes many of the strategies I’ve gone over in this section: he knew what his biggest threat to me was, set it up, then punished me for correctly responding to it.
Now that we’re all using the same definition for these three terms, we can use each of them to help you achieve that beautiful win condition I’m sure you’re eager to get more often.
You gotta have enough time!
This point may be obvious, but considering the amount of players I see who don’t seem to understand this, it needs to be stated. When you’re playing a game of Pokemon, you’re not only trying to win the game, you’re trying to win before your opponent. Every path to victory will eventually win you the game; but most of them are either too slow, or — and this is the key point — don’t slow your opponent down enough in the process.
With that in mind, all of your in-game actions should either contribute to winning the game quicker, or slowing your opponent down. Ideally you want to make plays that do both at once, which, thankfully for us, often comes naturally when playing — Knocking Out your opponent’s attacker gives you Prize cards and forces your opponent to find the resources necessary to replace that attacker.
Sometimes though, either due to your opponent’s clever play or by happenstance, doing both at the same time is either a bad idea or unnecessary. If you’re faced with the decision of having to do one or the other, you’ll have to decide whether you think you will be able to win the game by taking Prizes as fast as possible before your opponent based on the way things are going. If you can, you should simply make plays that get you the win quickly. If you can’t, you’ll have to find a way to slow your opponent down and give yourself an opening to make a comeback.
Play Example #1: Using Guzma to bring up a Tapu Lele-GX and knocking it out with Buzzwole-GX’s Knuckle Impact.
This example of a play is one that gets you closer to winning but doesn’t necessarily slow your opponent down. Tapu Lele-GX yields two Prizes, moving you one third of the way toward your win condition — awesome for us, right? In most cases, however, Tapu Lele-GX doesn’t help your opponent win faster while it’s in play; it just takes up space on the Bench. You’re also promoting a GX attacker with three Energy attached, making it susceptible to Gardevoir-GX’s Infinite Force.
So while this play isn’t necessarily bad, going after Tapu Lele-GX doesn’t slow your opponent down as much as, say, Knocking Out your opponent’s attackers or support Pokemon. It may be correct to speed the game up by taking some cheap Prizes if you think you can win before your opponent, but going for this play if your opponent is going to win faster is one of the worst mistakes I see players make. Don’t be tempted by those easy Prize cards!
Play Example #2: Instead of Knocking Out Tapu Lele-GX, using Guzma to Knock Out your opponent’s lone Kirlia with a Fairy Energy attached with Buzzwole-GX’s Jet Punch.
Now let’s take a look at what happens if you go after a potential attacker instead of a Pokemon-GX. While this play gives you less Prizes, it will apply pressure to your opponent’s board, and, as I said before, you want to apply pressure when applicable. Forcing your opponent to devote resources to replace the Kirlia makes it less likely that they will find what they need later on. Getting the Prizes is great, but your opponent missing an attack or crucial card can give you enough of a lead to secure victory.
Note here that we’re using Jet Punch instead of Knuckle Impact. By attacking with a Pokemon with less Energy attached, even if our opponent can get a Gardevoir-GX out, they are less likely to knock us out with Infinite Force.
This play would be better to go for if you’re worried that your opponent’s fully established board will overpower yours.
Now we’re talking! These plays are almost always ideal over only doing one or the other, for obvious reasons. Always go for these plays.
Play Example #3: Using Buzzwole-GX’s Absorption GX to Knock Out your opponent’s lone Gardevoir-GX.
This play combines the fast win time of Play Example #1 with the disruptive nature of Play Example #2. It’s the best of both worlds!
Play Example #4: Using Buzzwole-GX’s Absorption GX to Knock Out a Ralts when your opponent has a Kirlia with an Energy attached on the Bench.
This kind of play is underwhelming at best, and game-losing at worst. Attaching three Energy to a Buzzwole-GX is a big commitment. Unless it’s done through Beast Ring, that’s three turns of attachments that could have gone onto a Lyncaroc-GX or another Buzzwole-GX. By putting all those resources into one attacker and throwing it at our opponent recklessly, we risk losing all of that hard work to one attack. As for the remainder of the game, we may be unable to take the rest of our Prizes in the face of a fully-loaded Gardevoir-GX taking Prizes every turn.
Note that we used Absorption GX here as well. Without our GX attack, we’re even less capable of responding to a 230 HP Pokemon-GX.
In conclusion, unless you have a specific purpose for making this play that I’ve overlooked here, it’s a weak play that is detrimental to both of your goals.
Now that we know what we need to do and have defined all of the necessary terms, how do we put it all together to help us win a game of Pokemon?
Figuring out your win condition is easier if you know generally what your opponent’s deck is designed to do. Below I will be talking about what to do in that case. If you don’t know your opponent’s deck though; either because it’s early in the game and they haven’t shown you any cards that reveal what deck they’re using, or they’re playing such nonsensical cards that you can’t figure out how they all fit together; you should have a basic win condition that is pretty good at dealing with any opposing strategy. 99% of the time that win condition should either involve preparing for a Prize trade as quickly as possible or applying pressure.
The Prize Trade: Avoid It or Embrace It?
Your starting point for figuring out your best strategy should be to play out a Prize trade scenario in your head where both decks are set up perfectly and don’t whiff anything for the remainder of the game. In this scenario, which deck wins first? Once you’ve figured that out, make an educated guess as to which deck is more likely to achieve this perfect board state first. Practicing the matchup can help you learn how the Prize trade will normally go, but it’s not necessary to formulate your initial gameplan.
No one trades Prizes better than this little bug.
If your deck is more likely to achieve a perfect board state and will come out on top even if your opponent does as well, your strategy should be about getting to this state as quickly as possible. Get to a point where your board is so much stronger than your opponent’s that they will be totally unable to beat you.
If your deck will always lose once your opponent’s board state and hand reach this nirvana, you have to stop your opponent from getting there. Remember what I said about our two goals? Half of winning a game of Pokemon is winning before your opponent. If your win condition is inevitable in a certain number of turns, your opponent developing the perfect board may not be enough to make them win; they will have to find a different win condition, one that their deck may not be built to achieve reliably. In this kind of matchup, you will want to apply pressure as much as possible — make plays like Play Example #2 or #3. If your pressure isn’t quick enough to stop your opponent from setting up, don’t give up just yet: they may still whiff cards they need to secure that victory. Sticking it out until the end can get you a surprising amount of extra wins just by nature of chance.
If your deck is less likely to achieve a perfect state but will come out on top if both players achieve it, your strategy can still involve going for this scenario. This may be a little harder to pull off though. You may need to make some plays that will slow down your opponent’s setup so that you’ll get to yours first, or take some risks that will allow you to set up faster. If you think there’s no hope of getting to that point before your opponent, you should simply try to win quickly. You should still be on the lookout for ways to achieve that perfect state — sometimes the opportunity presents itself when you least expect it.
The last big question that we still have to answer is how to figure out what that perfect board actually looks like.
It’s quite simple, actually: a perfect board state is a board filled with threats, and a perfect hand is one that enables them to be threatening. The best kind of win condition is one where you develop Pokemon that can snag all of your Prizes cards and develop enough of them that your opponent can’t remove all of them from play. On the flip-side, your opponent’s best win condition will be to get as many threats into play as possible as well. If you’re worried about losing to your opponent’s perfect board, stop their threats from coming into play or win before they become threatening.
Now that we’ve got our strategy, we can jump right into the game and, as long as we follow that strategy, we’ll win for sure, right? Well, it’s not that simple. Once you add in the variables of luck and your opponent’s skill level/deck list, the strategy we came up with isn’t going to play out the same way every time; other times it won’t work at all! While you’re playing the game, you need to continually evaluate your win condition to make sure it’s still achievable. If it isn’t, don’t give up just yet! There’s almost always a different path you can take to win every game you play — you just have to find it.
Figuring out a backup strategy mid game can be done the same way you came up with the first one, but this time it needs to be in the context of the game you’re playing. This means reevaluating which player a Prize trade will favor, how you can carry out that Prize trade, what will disrupt your opponent, and which Pokemon are threats. These factors all end up being different in every individual game you play. That’s the joy of playing Pokemon: figuring out what you can do to win this time.
You may not have time to come up with a perfect new strategy during a tournament game, so you may just have to pick one that seems good and hope it works. This is where experience can be a great asset — knowing which strategies generally work and which ones don’t will be immensely helpful when creating a new one on the fly.
This whole article has been about how to win if your goal is to take six Prizes, but what if you want to win through another win condition? Luckily, these same fundamentals can be applied to any of the other win conditions. If your goal is to mill your opponent a la Durant, any Pokemon that discards cards from your opponent’s deck is a threat to them; if you’re trying to run them out of resources with a Sylveon-GX deck, every Enhanced Hammer or Plumeria you play is applying pressure to your opponent, since it contributes to your win condition while slowing down your opponent; even if you’re trying to win with the new Unown with the DAMAGE Ability, every Pokemon you set up to help you achieve the game-winning combo is considered a threat; and so on and so on.
Sometimes even a normal deck can go for one of these unusual win conditions. Be on the lookout for openings to use strategies involving alternate win conditions; such as decking your opponent out because they ran out of a key resource, or Knocking Out your opponent’s only Pokemon.
1) Analyze the opposing deck to figure out what the threats will be in both players’ decks.
2) Play out the matchup in your head: who will win if it enters a Prize trade, and how quickly will both decks get to the point where they can trade Prizes?
… your deck will win in a Prize trade scenario, your strategy should be to enter a Prize trade and win it convincingly.
… your deck will lose in a Prize trade scenario, your strategy should be to avoid a Prize trade either by disrupting your opponent or winning before a Prize trade begins.
4) Continually reevaluate your strategy throughout the game. If it no longer works, go back to the first bullet.
That’s all the advice I can give when it comes to the groundwork for figuring out your win condition. Pokemon is not an auto-pilot game. Every deck is vastly different from each other; each one plays out differently against different decks; and each deck has multiple different attackers, methods of powering them up, and combos they can pull off with them. From here on out, you have to use your own knowledge of the game and the decks both you and your opponent are using to figure out the best path to victory. Practice always helps here — it will become much clearer how to play out a matchup after you’ve played it a few times.
I really enjoyed writing this first article! I love helping players improve themselves, so hopefully what you’ve learned from this article will stick with you throughout your Pokemon journey. Make sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought. I’ve already gotten to indirectly help players by co-running this program, but doing it directly is something I get to do far less often.

Thanks for this great article and making it free, sure helps to clear some things up for myself that I never thought about.
Most of these i know fairly well, as i play against my friends who are championship level players. Im not that good at deck building since i only have some competitive tournament exp. Only did at least 2 Spokane Cities Tournaments between 2010 and 2014. Battle Road 2009-2013. Placed 16th to 8th in every Battle Road and 15th in 2 Cities Tourneys. But since then i have not been able to acquire what i need to do well in local tourneys. However, these help me in casual play which i find more enjoyable. I just don't have the means to go to any of the championship tournaments. I find some of these new advisories most informative.
Best article concerning Pokemon I have ever read. The small checklist at the end was a very helpful takeaway to remember while playing the game. Thank you for making it free!
Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad you got a lot out of it.
Thank you for this article! It is a gem for everyone trying to up their game and for those who just need a refresher on strategies.
Clearly everyone has their styles. For instance, I like early and abundant pressure on my opponents. But occasionally I have to keep it fresh with decks that deny my opponents of resources.
And that is what's great about Pokemon! It changes consistently enough for metas to come and go.

Sam VerNooy has been playing the Pokemon TCG since he was three years old when his two older siblings introduced him to the Pokemon franchise. After playing the game casually for several years, he finally went to his first tournament in 2011. Since then, he was qualified for the World Championships three times.

He had just turned 15. I first saw a video of Xiuhtezcatl Tonatiuh Martinez speaking about climate change and performing an original song. With a clear message, excellent speaking skills, and an arresting stage presence, I felt grateful that there was a young spokesperson on the scene talking so well about climate issues.
Xiuhtezcatl (pronounced shu-tez-cot) now 16 years old, attended the famous Paris Climate Talks last fall. He appears in Josh Fox’s new film, and he is one of 21 plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the federal government because of the US government’s chronic climate inaction. In his home state of Colorado, he, his family, and friends have seen significant successes in taking on politically charged ecological issues.
These days Xiuhtezcatl is popping up everything, including national TV. Most recently he appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher.
As I have come to expect, during his appearance on Bill Maher, Xiuhtezcatl spoke well, passionately, and comfortably. (The link to the segment is below.) Bill Maher was his usual smarmy, obnoxious, killjoy self attempting to throw cold water on his young guest’s enthusiasm and message. And in every instance Xiuhtezcatl parried with wit, insight, and confidence.
He also made it clear that he does not stand alone. There are loads of young people like him who are concerned and who are speaking out. In his speeches and appearances, he constantly reminds us that our collective voices are powerful and necessary in order to address global warming and save humanity.
Xiuhtezcatl presents a different model for us, one that we do not often see, particularly modeled by young men in America. He does not position himself as the savior–The One–come to rescue the world with his wisdom and charm. Rather he constantly reminds us that he is only one part connected to a large and growing movement.
While recognizing the challenges of the working through the political process to see change happen, he refuses to be cynical as he insists that we use the existing channels to pursue the systemic changes in our energy policy and global consumption that we need to address global warming.
If you want a shot of hope and enthusiasm and insight, check out Xiuhtezcatl’s appearance on Real Time w/Bill Maher June 24, 2016.
Also, see Xiuhtezcatl talking about our place and power in the world to repair our connection with the earth.
Last spring met at Woolman Hill Quaker Retreat Center in New England and spent time in silent contemplation and worship regarding our current climate crisis. These Friends released an epistle based on this spring gathering discussions. It is a beautifully worded letter that communicates a faith-centered and justice-centered view of global warming.
God is calling us to respond as a community of faith. Climate change is not just one concern among many to be carried by only some among us. We all live on this planet and are contributing to its destruction. It is incumbent upon every Friend and every Friends Meeting to seek actively to discover how God is leading us to do our part to reverse this great crime. Recognizing that we, gathered here, are shaped and limited in our understanding by our economic and social position, nevertheless the divine Witness challenges us, in compassion and in love for our brothers and sisters, and for the beautiful earth, to pray, wait, and act with a focus and fearlessness appropriate to the urgency of the times. Truth requires it of us.
Friends are feeling led under religious concern to travel among us, to provide prophetic ministry around these concerns and to help meetings prayerfully reflect on climate change. We ask Friends to open their doors to such visitors and provide opportunities for them to share their witness amongst us and with our surrounding communities. To encourage these leadings to travel, meetings can provide minutes, elders, and financial support to such Friends.
Growing numbers of Friends are led to engage in civil disobedience and other forms of prophetic witness against the destruction of the earth, such as voluntary carbon tax. When Friends act they are not alone. They act for the whole community. We can provide minutes of support and help with legal fees, fines, jail support, and support for the families of those carrying out such actions. | 2019-04-25T21:41:53Z | https://climatestew.com/tag/climate-justice/ |

the winter time when it's cold, wet, windy... We don't want to go anywhere except maybe just to the nearest pub, cinema or restaurant. Less movement, heavier food, fewer vegetables and frozen fruit that has lost its nutrition and vitamins.In both seasons our bodies and health systems start to struggle with what we are doing.
Summer brings more toxins, winter more fat and weight gain.Honey therapy helps us with our well-being. Honey is known as a natural antibiotic and booster for almost everything. We use it when we want something sweet instead of refined sugar, when we are cold or have flu, for cooking, for face and hair masks etc. Honey contains vitamins, trace enzymes, amino acids, and minerals like calcium, iron, sodium chlorine, phosphate, and potassium.
But how does it work as a massage therapy for our body?
Massage with honey has been known since ancient times to clean up the human organism. The massage acts on a deep level through the skin pores, the toxins and waste collected during the years are extracted with this treatment. It's a tonic to strengthen the immune system which recovers the ability to fight disease and along with it many benefits for good health in general. Honey therapy can reduce allergies, depression, insomnia, back pain, anorexia, migraine, rheumatism, skin problems and more.
These benefits are gained through manual massage on the back using flower honey with no sugar and a specific massage technique. The duration of the massage is between 15 and 20 minutes. The honey replaces the extracted toxins with vitamins and minerals needed to boost our immune system.For a full detox honey therapy is recommended at two points in the year for a duration of 20 days consecutively.
In Autumn during the months of September and October which prepares us for winter and again in Spring during the months of April and May for the upcoming summertime. For a health boost honey therapy can be used once a week and as a prophylactic once a month. | 2019-04-19T19:16:03Z | https://www.mjkry.com/l/honey-therapy-what-why-when/ |
This blue bonbonniere is the very first item of European Carnival glassware that we were ever offered and instantly changed our direction on collecting. The piece came from a family connection to an Eda factory worker living in Sweden in early 2000.
It was love at first sight, as it was such a dainty piece, with a pattern of tiny flowers around the lid and the base of the barrel.There are four ground feet on the base. The iridescence is absolutely a knockout, showing pinks, greens, gold and turquoise, and the quality of the glass is remarkable.
This piece convinced us to look for and buy more European Carnival Glass. I have seen these in Marigold, blue and in an extremely rare purple. It measures 5.25" high, 4" across the top opening and 3" across the base. | 2019-04-19T17:19:42Z | http://www.carnivalglassshowcase.com/Featured-Products/eda-sweden-lagerkrans-blue-bonbonniere.html |
The Civil Air Patrol was born one week prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Assigned to the War Department under the jurisdiction of the Army Air Corps, Civil Air Patrol logged more than 500,000 flying hours sinking two enemy submarines and saving hundreds of crash victims during World War II. After the war, a thankful nation understood that Civil Air Patrol could continue providing valuable services to both local and national agencies. On July 1, 1946, President Harry Truman signed Public Law 476 incorporating Civil Air Patrol as a benevolent, nonprofit organization. On May 26, 1948, Congress further defined the role and responsibility of Civil Air Patrol passing Public Law 557 designating Civil Air Patrol a civilian auxiliary of the newly formed U.S. Air Force and charging it with three primary missions; Emergency Services, Cadet Programs, and Aerospace Education.
The Emergency Services mission of Civil Air Patrol is to aid those who are in distress. Nationally Civil Air Patrol flies more than 90 percent of all federal inland search-and-rescue missions directed by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center. Civil Air Patrol assets are available to state and local Emergency Management and Public Safety agencies for search and rescue operations, aerial reconnaissance imagery, contingency tactical communications, and emergency transport of humanitarian supplies, blood, tissue, or organs.

Control has added the ability to set a Due Date on the Line Item level. This page contains information explaining this new feature.
Those using separate products or child products for pricing that really represent a part of the production process.
Order 1234 is for a single digital print (to keep things simple) and must be shipped to the customer location for arrival within 7 days. The price the customer is given is $100, which represents $70 for the printing and $30 for the design. The order is entered as one line item for $70 (digital print) and one line item for $30 (design). The order is being shipped (at no additional charge) via 2 day shipping.
An order due date in 7 days (or 5 to indicate the production ready date if desired).
A shipped due date in 5 days.
A line item due date in 4 or 5 days for the digital print.
A line item due date in 3 days for the design.
Of course, the exact dates chosen in any given business might vary, but hopefully the point is still conveyed.
To set the Due Date on a Line Item, open it up and go to the Advanced Tab on the pricing form; there is a Due Date field that can be set to the desired date for that Line Item. Unless overridden, this will be the same date as the Order Due Date.
On the Shipping Tab, a new field has been added to each Shipment named Shipped Due Date. This field will default to the Order Due Date, and can be overridden. If the Order Due Date is changed, this field will automatically change.
In the Line Item Explorer, the Due Date column will display the Line Item Due Date, and this column is sortable.
In Production Terminal, the filter for the Due Date range now filters on the Line Item Due Date instead of the Order Due Date.
Work Order - this report now shows how much of each line item is due on each Shipment and the Shipment's Due Date.
Shipped Due Date was added as an option to the grouping.
Shipped Due Date was added as a sort field.
A column was added to display the Line Item's Due Date.
WIP report - now displays each Line Item's Due Date. | 2019-04-20T14:34:49Z | http://control.cyriouswiki.com/how-to_use_the_line_item_due_date_feature |
Conditions for women are getting worse not only in Afghanistan but here in New Brunswick as well. The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan is out to make you aware of that.
RAWA, an international women’s right organization, held their fifth annual variety show benefit Saturday night at the Gallery Connexion.
Their message is simple: women are not yet equal, here at home or across the globe.
The event hosted several showcases including an opening by Fredericton’s Raging Grannies and was headlined by Saint John’s jazz musician Debbie Adshade. There were also performances by poets as well as a silent auction to raise funds for RAWA.
Glynn cited the rise of domestic violence and murder rates against women here at home as well as the harsh conditions for women abroad as a reason for such events.
“Here at home it is a more passive inequality, abuses that you may not readily see and it is a big problem. Places far away such as Afghanistan we are seeing much more violent acts and the protests are getting extreme.
RAWA, which began in 1977, was founded by a young student activist Meena Keswar who was assassinated for her stance regarding woman’s rights. Since then RAWA has grown to include several chapters spanning the globe including the organizers here in Fredericton.
“When we started five years ago this was a much smaller event, taking place on campus, says Glynn. “Now we get support for hundreds of people, some as far away as British Columbia.
Many groups have come together to support the RAWA event. The UNB student union, sexuality union, political science department are all supporters as well as several labour unions such as the Canadian Postal Workers.
Health care for women as well as protection against aggressive prostitution recruitment are only two of RAWA’s many tasks that Glynn mentions.
“This is something that needs to keep growing until, hopefully, we are no longer needed. | 2019-04-25T14:04:56Z | http://theaquinian.net/a-fight-for-womens-rights/ |

In 2004 Hugh MacDermott bought a horse in the province of Buenos Aires and rode off to explore Argentina. Two years later he had ridden over 2,000 miles and created a network of friends and contacts round the country. Over the years we have built upon these contacts and they form the base of the people we work with today.
HUGH MACDERMOTT an Anglo-Irish migrant to Argentina, worked on horse riding holiday operations in Kenya and Uruguay before organising his own rides with a large cattle ranch in the Aconquija sierras, Northwest Argentina. Before founding MacDermott’s Argentina he spent another year travelling round Argentina (this time in his truck), to fill in the gaps of his knowledge. There are few non-Argentines who know the country as well as he does and he continues to host many of our trips today.
PAULO SALVADOR JIMENÉZ VERÓN was born in Paraguay and moved to Buenos Aires aged nineteen to study tourism. He then worked for LATAM, South America’s largest airline for eight years before moving to two different local travel companies before becoming a partner at MacDermott’s. He has two great passions: Dance and Travel. He is currently studying dance choreography and was a member of the National Arts University of Art (UNA) contemporary dance company and he has travelled extensively round Argentina both for MacDermott’s and for pleasure.
LAURA ROSSIGNOLI born in Uruguay and moved to Buenos Aires aged five has been helping a variety of companies, in several different industries, navigate the trial and tribulations of Argentine bureaucracy since 2000. She came to MacDermott’s Argentina in 2013 and is the head of our administration.
Adriano La Croce is born and bred in Buenos Aires, has a degree in tourism and a masters in Economics and Tourism Management. His great passions are acting and Tango and he speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and English.
Bang for your buck: All our trips are carefully tailored around the wishes of our guests, we can cater to any needs because we work with a very wide, and continually growing, range of providers. This also enables us to make our guest’s budgets stretch to get the absolute best holiday their money can buy.
Peace of mind: We are people passionate about Argentina who have converted that passion into a business. Our team comes from all corners of Argentina’s travel industry including a lot of experience as local guides – on foot, on horseback and behind the wheel. In even the best laid out plans Argentina has a habit of throwing up bumps in the road, because of our on the ground experience we understand these problems and we know how to fix them as quickly as possible.
* We do make an exception on our one country policy when crossing into one of Argentina’s neighbouring countries is an intrinsic part of a particular trip, such as a ride over the Andes. | 2019-04-25T19:58:10Z | https://macdermottsargentina.com/about-macdermotts-argentina/ |

Every year, 12–15 children are born with cystic fibrosis in Denmark, and around 470 patients are currently (2012) living with the disorder. Cystic fibrosis is the most common hereditary, non-dominant disorder in Western Europe, and no fewer than 150,000 Danes—three per cent of the population—carry the hereditary predisposition. Around 100,000 people suffer from cystic fibrosis at global level.
The PhD project was carried out in partnership with Copenhagen University Hospital, where Consultant Helle Krogh Johansen, MD, and Professor Niels Høiby collected the material.
A tough strain of bacteria adapts its DNA to suit life in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The bacterial genome has now been mapped, however, and this could lead to improved treatment in just a few years.
In order to draw more benefit from the haemoglobin from red blood cells, pathogenic bacteria have adapted at genetic level to life in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. This is one of the findings Rasmus Lykke Marvig arrived at through mapping bacterial genomes from a period of 38 years.
Without treatment, most cystic fibrosis patients would die within the first year of their lives, and even though patients can live with the condition for 45 years or more today on account of progress made in both diagnosis and treatment involving antimicrobial agents, they still suffer from serious consequential illnesses.
Cystic fibrosis is hereditary and distinguished by disruption to the glandular function in a range of organs, including the lungs. One of the effects of the condition is that the airways secrete abnormally tough mucus, resulting in patients typically developing chronic bacterial infections in their airways. Bacteria resistant to antimicrobial agents constitute a widespread problem in treatment of the illness.
The bacteria whose genomes Rasmus Lykke Marvig has mapped as a part of his PhD at DTU Systems Biology stem from Copenhagen University Hospital, where they were collected over a period of 38 years. The strain of bacteria is called Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the samples were taken from a total of 41 patients.
What makes them unique is that a large proportion of them stem from the same tough bacterial strain that has succeeded in spreading infection from one patient to another during the past 38 years. Therefore, the mapping of the genomes presents an evolutionary image which—taking into account the short life cycle of the bacteria— is equivalent to having mapped the evolution of the human genome from the time man evolved from the large ape to the present day.
“One of the surprising findings from my mapping work is that the bacteria have adapted to life in patients’ lungs by altering their hereditary material so that they can draw even more benefit from the haemoglobin in our red blood cells. In fact, it has reached the point where they are absolutely dependent on it. Moreover, they have succeeded in adapting to our use of antimicrobial agents by developing resistance to them—and resistant bacteria constitute an immense problem in the context of treatment,” explains Rasmus Lykke Marvig, who defended his PhD at DTU Systems Biology in January 2014.
The knowledge generated by the project is sure to prove indispensable to doctors working to develop the treatment methods of the future, and closely targeted input to starve the haemoglobin-dependent bacteria is one obvious option.
“It cost USD 3 billion and took almost ten years to map the first human genome, which was published in 2000. It is expected that in 2014, the same process can be completed in a week at the cost of around USD 1,000. This is amazing progress and has opened up all kinds of possibilities,” says Rasmus , who will continue analysing the findings from his PhD project in his postdoc work.
Employed by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rasmus continues to work with his old research group at the DTU Biosustain laboratories. And his work has far-reaching perspectives. For example, it may lead to more closely targeted treatment with antimicrobial agents rather than the more aggressive broad-spectrum treatment favoured today. This could be achieved by developing tests for specific genetic markers in the pathogenic bacteria.
“It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that we could start using some of these techniques within the next two years,” says Rasmus Lykke Marvig. | 2019-04-19T13:20:25Z | http://www.dtu.dk/english/research/research-at-dtu/research-news/Nyhed?id=%7B98906E08-5873-45ED-AC94-049253E29A6F%7D |

Asha Weinstein Agrawal is Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at San José State University and Director of MTI’s National Transportation Finance Center at San José State University. Her research agenda is guided by a commitment to the principles of sustainability and equity: what planning and policy tools can communities adopt to encourage environmentally-friendly travel and improve accessibility for people struggling with poverty or other disadvantages? She has explored this question most deeply through two substantive areas, transportation finance policy and the travel behavior of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. Dr. Agrawal also works in the area of urban history and is currently Chair of the Transportation Research Board’s Committee on Transportation History.
Dr. Agrawal’s research on contemporary policy issues has been cited in the popular media. Stories quoting her or citing her work have appeared in such outlets as The Washington Post (on gas taxes and mileage fees), CBS Evening News (on mileage fees), ABC News/KGO-TV (on mileage fees), the San Diego Union-Tribune (on transit fare policy), WBUR (on the history of traffic congestion), and the San Francisco Chronicle (on transportation taxes).

Mr. King Kerosin was born in a working class neighbourhood in Mannheim, Germany. He lived in the USA and travelled to many events on the rockabilly scene. At night, he never missed a party. In the day, he fine-tuned his hotrod, which he used to take part in races at dragstrips or on salt lakes. In his garage in Bakersfield, California, he came up with the idea of founding his own fashion brand: King Kerosin. And that is where the first T-shirts were actually printed. Whilst retaining the USA location, the King established the European headquarters of the company back in Germany, in Hockenheim. The small insider label has become a popular streetwear brand, whose success now goes way beyond the limits of the rockabilly scene. Under the slogan “more revs per life”, King Kerosin combines the classic rock’n’roll style with current streetwear trends. | 2019-04-25T06:35:03Z | https://www.louis-moto.co.uk/katalog/marken/kingkerosin/637?regionPopupClicked=true |

Ever since, every year all the members of the countries meet to share their experiences and ideas. One year later, on the occasion of the second Conference in Sanremo was defined the symbol of the association, even now recognizable trademark and strong call to the excellence in the organization. Gradually, more countries became members and the new entrances from Europe extended to a global level. The name of the society followed this evolution, passing from U.I.P.G.H. (Union Internationale des Portiers des Grandes Hotels) to U.I.C.O. (Union Internationale des Clefs d'Or), until reaching in the 2000 the current name. To this day U.I.C.H. Union Internationale des Concierge d'Hotels “Les Clefs D'Or” has 43 countries and 3800 members in all the world. | 2019-04-19T19:58:00Z | https://issuu.com/luxurymagazineita/docs/virginia_casale_iusu?mode=window |

It’s tough on Midget Dog having a sleepover. Especially since both dogs try their hardest to ignore each other the entire time.
This was Misha at 9 am. She was all ready for a nap before the day started.
Meanwhile, Summit started her walking routine. She does this until we open the front door. Usually, we wait until the mail carrier comes. Summit, the normally mild mannered dog, charges the door. When you’re expecting a 10 lb. dog to come to the door and you’re greeted by a 65 lb. dog, it can give you a good scare. | 2019-04-21T22:58:30Z | http://littledogbigworld.chroniclife.com/my-two-charges-this-morning/ |

You're probably asking yourself "What's a Kwan?" Before answering that, let's start at the beginning. Show Me the Kwan is a fast-paced, dice rolling, word game. Given a chosen category, the players must call out words fitting where either the first, second, or last letter correspond to the lettered dice that were rolled. Each die has an assigned point value. At the end of the 1 minute round, all players must count their points on the dice they collected.
That's the quick explanation. Let's take a slightly longer look. The game consists of twelve lettered dice, where the letters are assigned point values. Each die can be used separately to form a word in a category, where that category is chosen from one of the category cards in the deck. The position of the letter of the word in the category is based upon a separate die. Position can be first, second, or last. So, given a category of movie titles and the letter S, you can use Star Wars if the latter die roll was first or last but not if it was second. Know any movie titles with a second letter of S?

What To Do With All That Christmas Packing Material?
Chances are, if you got that gigantic flat screen television this holiday season, there was polystyrene in the packaging. But now that the TV is on the wall, what are you going to do with all that stuff?
Instead of throwing away the white molded packaging material, the Pennsylvania Resources Council is encouraging you to recycle it at a designated drop-off spot.
In Pittsburgh, the drop-off location is at the Appliance Warehouse at 523 Bingham St in the South Side.
Recycled polystyrene can be made into clothes hangers, decorative moldings, insulation and even picture frames.
The PRC, in partnership with NOVA Chemicals, started collecting polystyrene last holiday season. In 2014, more than 2,400 cubic feet of polystyrene was collected at four different "Hard to Recycle" collection events.
In an effort to make recycling more convenient, the council introduced drop-off bins in November. The one at Appliance Warehouse has been available since Thanksgiving.
The drop-off location will accept loose pieces and blocks of polystyrene, but not packing peanuts. According to Shea, local UPS stores accept packing peanuts for reuse.
Shea said she hopes this encourages people to hold onto their polystyrene until they can visit the South Side location. | 2019-04-26T13:00:13Z | https://www.wesa.fm/post/what-do-all-christmas-packing-material |
Like many Blue Water clients, your site is up and running on Drupal 7. But you’re probably starting to hear about Drupal 8. Or even Drupal 9. Released two years ago, Drupal 8 introduced a series of upgrades that fundamentally improved on the Drupal 7 platform. Drupal 9 will be released in 2020, and both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 will reach end of life in 2021. While the 7 → 8 migration process has some complexity, the good news is that Drupal 9 is built directly from the Drupal 8 codebase. For Drupal site owners, this means that the move from D8 → D9 will be easy. How easy? In terms of relative complexity, it will be similar to an 8.1 → 8.2 migration code update.
2020 and 2021 may sound far off into the future, but the time to start planning for your migration is now. While it might be easy to simply wait for Drupal 9, we recommend starting the Drupal 8 migration process this year so as to have a cushion for the ultimate move to Drupal 9. Drupal 8 is mature and well-supported by the open source community. This means that commonly used modules are available, stable and secure. Importantly, nothing will be lost in the subsequent migration to Drupal 9.
Does your website still accurately reflect your brand?
What is your UX data telling you? Is there an opportunity for improvement?
How is your site performing? Does it help meet your business and organizational goals?
Is it time to consider how you can drive more traffic to your website?
It's D-day for a Drupal upgrade.
Don’t get caught behind the curve – the time to start planning for a migration or redesign is now! Ready to talk Drupal strategy? Click here to schedule a no cost evaluation. Or, for some additional, technical information on Drupal migrations, here and here are some thoughts from our friends at Acquia.
Blue Water is a full-service agency that delivers exceptional online and offline experiences for private and public-sector clients. Leveraging data, we operate at the intersection of experience design, creative, content strategy, technology, and marketing, which we call our Digital Convergence Model (DCM), and work in small, cross-functional teams with clients as our partners and users as our focus. This forms the foundation of our approach to turning digital challenges into endless possibilities. | 2019-04-24T11:01:45Z | https://bwm.com/blog/plan-your-drupal-migration |
Australian rugby legend, Michael Lynagh, had a remarkable career at the very top of the game. Yet his greatest challenge lay ahead, as he overcame a stroke at the age of just 48 to become a leading advocate of stroke awareness.
Lynagh, known to friends and fans as ‘Noddy’, represented Queensland from 1982-95, winning the Super 6 and Super 10 trophies. He made his debut for Australia in 1984, aged just 20, playing at inside centre to Mark Ella’s fly half. When Ella retired, Lynagh moved across to fly half and never looked back.
He was capped a total of 72 times for Australia, and maintained the remarkable feat of scoring in every test he played in, until he handed kicking duties over to Marty Roebuck. In total, he scored 911 points for Australia before he retired in 1995, which was a world record at the time. Lynagh captained Australia from 1993-95 and was vice-captain when they won the 1991 World Cup.
Following his international retirement, he joined English club, Saracens, scoring the winning points in their match with fierce rivals Newcastle, and leading them to the Tetley’s Bitter Cup in their most successful season to date.
After retirement, Lynagh worked in property management and as a popular pundit on Sky Sports, before suffering a stroke in 2012. Remarkably, and with true Michael Lynagh courage and determination, he walked out of hospital just ten days later with nothing more than some visual impairment and an increased golf handicap.
He has since written a book, Blindsided, about his experience and regularly meets with, and speaks on behalf of, victims of stroke. As a relatively young, incredibly fit person, Lynagh raises awareness that stroke can happen to anyone at any time. | 2019-04-21T18:03:46Z | https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/michael-lynagh/ |
While Vans may be the State Shoe of California, Chuck Taylors are truly the original timeless sneaker. And nowadays (vs. the days of yore), they make a pair for everyone. But if you catch a version you really love on the racks, buy them immediately.. because after the fact, they’re hard to track down. Example: me. Version: the American Flag Chuck Taylors. Okay, so how many days before Memorial Day do I have? New project. Go. | 2019-04-19T20:44:16Z | http://stylesaveus.com/2013/04/09/chucks-taylors-for-everyone/ |

last thursday was my 22 birthday. i spent the day with my kindergarten class (btw: just accidentally wrote “kinderfarten”) we walked to the houston zoo. just want every 22 year old want to do on her birthday – walk in the zoo with 70+ kindergartners. good thing i’m not “every 22 year old” I LOVED IT.
my birthday dinner was extra special. vegan chicken and waffles + A VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE. it was divine. thanks roommates.
way to go makenzie. great picture – too bad the calendar is a day behind. at one point halie (the BFF in this picture, said “wow dena great turn out” to which i responded “ya, 10 of these 15 people live here, they didn’t necessarily come because they wanted to, they just walked down stairs”) but oh wait – they do like me and would have probably come anyway.
it was mexican train dominoes and complicated word games until CAKE TIME.
i got really nervous, as i always do, and wished for lame things like “i hope i’m happy this year” and “i hope i have fun”. like i could go a whole year without being happy or having fun. guess my wishes already came true. i have le best friends EVER. thanks guys for making my birthday so special. | 2019-04-20T08:23:08Z | http://panchoandleftey.com/2013/03/26/dena-was-22-on-the-21st/ |

Ease your holiday eve burdens with food, attractions, shopping, and cherry picking all in Jerusalem's historic 'First Station' promenade!
In Jerusalem for Rosh Hashana? Are you a native, or just visiting? Sure, there are a ton of bases to cover, and you’re probably looking for some ways to relax and enjoy the environment ahead of the important day. Let’s cover some logistical and spiritual tips that will make your life easier.
We know how it is. One parent at home, the other outside with the kids. What’s open on Erev Rosh Hashana? The First Station promenade (known locally as the Tachana Rishona) has food, attractions, and shopping for the whole family. Entrance is free. If you can drive a bit, there is cherry picking at nearby Kibbutz Ramat Rachel… fun and yum!
New year, same result: Rosh Hashana is so monumental and inspiring. You think to yourself, “This year will be different.” That might be true, but when it comes to improving your Divine service, your health, or your relationships the rule is "less is more." Why? Because you’ll actually do "less" as opposed to starting off strong with a flamboyant resolution and finding yourself on your third slice of mousse cake by the second day of the holiday. In the end, doing less really is more. | 2019-04-23T16:53:45Z | http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/235511 |

Companies are under constant assault from hackers but, for many people, the threat feels abstract and far away. That’s why Fortune produced the video above: It explains who the hackers are, and what they want.
For expertise, we turned to Nicole Friedlander, a long-time prosecutor who headed a cyber-crime unit in New York, and Andrei Barysevich, who scours the so-called “Dark Web” as an undercover private detective. In the clip, they discuss their first-hand experience with hackers.
Barysevich also gives examples of the sort of crimes he encounters while posing undercover on the Dark Web. He says he met one hacker who invites crooks to submit a list of websites, so he can produce a list of hacking vulnerabilities—all in the time it takes to get a cup of coffee.
Meanwhile, Friedlander explains why there has been a rapid growth in cyber crime, and how it is evolving.
“It used to be that cyber criminals targeted money and credit cards, but today they target intellectual property or material non-public information. For example, upcoming mergers and acquisitions,” said Friedlander, who co-ordinates the Cybersecurity Group at the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell.
The two experts also pointed to a trend in which hackers are expanding their targets beyond Fortune 500 companies, and seeking to steal from suppliers or smaller enterprises.
“The way companies need to think about data is ‘if this data has any value to company, then hackers are trying to steal it’,” said Friedlander.
To get a more detailed view of the hacking threat, check out our feature story “Hacked” from the July issue of Fortune, as well as this profile of an elite anti-hacking unit at Google. | 2019-04-24T10:44:04Z | http://fortune.com/2017/07/26/who-are-hackers/ |

According to Big Blue, its invention should pave the way for more efficient software defined networking and allow cloud systems to better handle bursts.
IBM was awarded a patent for dynamically managing network bandwidth in a cloud computing environment. IBM's bet is that its invention can optimize cloud computing performance.
The patent, U.S. Patent No. 8,352,953, is for a method that automatically decides the best way for users to access a cloud system based on available network bandwidth.
IBM said that the approach should allow clouds to better handle surges in traffic because systems can reassign work to system nodes with bandwidth. Usually, a cloud user has access to a virtual machine and the more people tap the system the more networking bandwidth matters.
According to Big Blue, its approach should pave the way for more efficient software defined networking, which automates and dynamically manages bandwidth and the infrastructure that goes with it.
Here's a chart from the patent filing explaining how the method works. | 2019-04-22T16:28:05Z | https://www.zdnet.com/article/ibm-wins-dynamic-network-bandwidth-patent-for-cloud/ |
EARTH, SEA & FIRE is a first-time ever triathlon to be held in the southernmost Croatian city of Dubrovnik, a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most attractive global travel destinations. This is a race for everybody to enjoy: first-timers and Ironman finishers, families and fans.
The idea was presented this Wednesday during the press conference in the Tourist Board’s office by TB director Romana Vlašić and the secretary of the Triatlon Club Daniel Marušić.
‘We want to promote Dubrovnik as a destination for active vacation and outdoor sports during the longer period, because the city is suitable whole-year-destination for its climate, location, offer and name’, Marušić told the press.
‘The idea of a triathlon has existed for years, and we have especially linked with friends from the UK. Most of them will come to Dubrovnik for a few days. This is a three-day event, and we have created a rich programme’, he added. 110 participants have already signed up for this event, most of them from the UK.
The arrival of British sports official John Lunt, who was the director of the first triathlon race at the 2012 Olympics in London, as well as Timo Henning, sports journalist and triathlete, is expected. The award winning triathlete from Dubrovnik, Jakša Diklić, will participate as well.
‘It is our goal to encourage all the events that Dubrovnik places on the international map in the months outside the main season. Events like this contribute to the recognition of Dubrovnik in Croatia and beyond because there are a number of fans who visit the world following the location of the race’, said director Vlašić.
Start of the race is on Saturday, October 13th at 2pm on the Veliki mul (dock) in Gruž, and competitors will compete in two categories: sprint (750 meters swimming, 20km biking and 5km running) and olympic (1500 meters of swimming, 40 kilometers of biking and 10 kilometers of running).
Swimming path is from Veliki mul (dock) in Gruž to the Bridge of Dr. Franjo Tuđman and back (one round of sprints, two Olympic rounds), and after passing through the transition zone in Gruž starts a cycling race through the Rijeka dubrovačka to ACI marine in Komolac (sprint two circles, Olympic four circles). The running part will be held in some areas of Gruž (sprint two rounds, Olympic four rounds).
Sprint winners in front of the Jadrolinija office building are expected around 3 pm / one hour later for the Olympic triathlon winners, and the end of the race could be around 5 pm.
During the race, part of the road from the Bridge of dr. Franjo Tuđman to the ACI marina will be closed from 2 do 4 pm, and part from the Radeljević to roundabout on Solska baza will be closed from 3 to 5 pm. | 2019-04-22T06:47:54Z | https://www.justdubrovnik.com/2018/09/ignite-your-inner-fire-be-a-part-of-special-triathlon-in-dubrovnik/92412/ |
It's been 5 months since we left the shores of sunny Sydney for greener pastures in London. Firstly, let me apologise for the extreme lack of blogging here. A major international move with two children under four sure took it's toll on my creative energy, and any "spare time" was usually spent horizontal somewhere wondering when the dust would settle. Alas, here I am! The dust is now settled (and in serious need of dusting) and we're feeling more at home in our new urban surroundings than ever.
We've landed in a particularly pretty part of town, but London has been such a visual feast since the day we arrived, with little hidden street scenes, climbing roses, vintage cars and colourful bikes on every street corner. I feel more tapped-in to my surroundings than ever. For those of you who have been following me on Instagram, you may have seen some of these images before, but I really enjoyed putting together this little re-cap of pictures I've snapped around London. They make me feel so lucky to be a part of this vibrant, visual city.
Hi Kate, nice to hear from you & yes what a pretty part of own you have landed in, just loving the Insta feed as well. All the best from sunny, but finally cold Sydney Town. | 2019-04-18T14:20:25Z | http://www.mauriceandking.com/2014/06/around-london.html?showComment=1402926742705 |
Earth's Internet & Natural Networking: Todd Dawson's Lab!
When I think of Todd Dawson's work, I think of my own obsession of wondering what is going on under the ground as opposed to walking through the woods and looking at all the beautiful scenery. Yes of course the scenery is beautiful and exciting. However, my metamorphosis and obsession with underground biological life networking came about over a long period of time. While I always had interest in 'Botany' & 'Plants', I gradually came to realize through my own study and research that a healthy above ground paradisaic scenario is made only possible and a success by a properly installed under ground networked system.
Nature, when not interfered with, takes care of itself. However, human's on the other hand are wowed by the Ooooooo-facter of various Large Corporate Marketing Schemes when it comes gardening and landscaping. Billions of Dollars in advertising over almost a century has indoctrinated people on Earth that Chemicals are the answer for your every need in the garden and landscape and without them you are bound to fail. Careful consideration should always be given to just exactly how things work in nature and then simply replicate these processes by developing practical application concepts into your own project. The mistake comes when mankind believes they can out perform and improve upon nature. No need to list the failures of this thinking. Anyone can read and listen to the News today and see that human's are rapidly destroying our planet.
That aside, let's get back to what work Todd Dawson and his team have pioneered. There are terms and phrases they research called 'Hydraulic Lift' - 'Hydraulic Redistribution' - 'Hydraulic Descent' and all of this has to do with a root phenomena where by roots of key species of any type of ecosystem facilitate the redistribution of water and nutrients through yet another complex and sophisticated piece of "Earth Internet" hardware called a mycorrhizal network or grid. These mycorrhizal organisms are nothing more than beneficial fungus which uses mycelial network fibers to inter-connect with various species of plants in an underground mutualistic association. In a nut shell the fungi provide an increased rate of absorbtion by 200% of water and nutrients and gives these to the trees or shrubs and in turn, the fungi who can't manufacture their own food through photosynthesis are rewarded from the plant carbons and other sugars by which the fungi survives.
Below is an animated illustration off Todd Dawson's Lab site which beautifully illustrates just what happens during daylight hours, nighttime and even during the rainy season.

Arrows shown the dominant flow direction determined by sapflow. (d) Graph showing sap velocity. Positive values mean that water flows to the plant, and negative values means away from the plant into the surrounding soil. The dashed line represents a rain event (36 mm). See the text for a complete explanation.
One of the first articles I ever read was a piece done above Todd Dawson's research work on the role Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) play in it's temperate forested ecosystem. It was exactly similar to something I had read about desert tree called Honey Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora) grows to a height of up to 12 metres (39 ft) and has a trunk with a diameter of up to 1.2 meters (3.9 ft). Its roots are able to grow to a great depth in search of water: in 1960, they were discovered at a depth of 53 meters (175 feet) at an open-pit mine near Tucson, Arizona, putting them among the deepest known roots.
"By comparing variations in isotopic concentrations taken from different sources, they were able to show that mature streamside trees do not use stream water but used deep groundwater. When Dawson came to Cornell in 1990, he looked for ways to combine his research in water use with his interest in woody plants and their distribution and physiology. During the summers of 1991and 1992, Dawson observed the water use of Maples."
"Streamside Trees That Do Not Use Steam Water"
The above info has intrigued my interest because of my passion for finding evidence for an Ancient Earth minerotrophic hydrological cycle which no longer exists on the Earth for the most part, though it does in it's parts. There are hints and clues everywhere and the technologies we can develop from learning about these natural processes are incredible and vitally important given the sad state of health conventional science has brought to mankind and the world around them.
"Scientists at UC Berkley are embarking on a new project to understand how global warming is effecting our fresh water supply. And they are doing it by tracking individual raindrops Mendicino and north of Lake Tahoe."

"Root Functioning Modifies Seasonal Climate"
Hydraulic redistribution (HR), the nocturnal vertical transfer of soil water from moister to drier regions in the soil profile by roots, has now been observed in Amazonian trees. We have incorporated HR into an atmospheric general circulation model (the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmospheric Model Version 2) to estimate its impact on climate over the Amazon and other parts of the globe where plants displaying HR occur. Model results show that photosynthesis and evapotranspiration increase significantly in the Amazon during the dry season when plants are allowed to redistribute soil water. Plants draw water up and deposit it into the surface layers, and this water subsidy sustains transpiration at rates that deep roots alone cannot accomplish. The water used for dry season transpiration is from the deep storage layers in the soil, recharged during the previous wet season. We estimate that HR increases dry season (July to November) transpiration by ≈40% over the Amazon. Our model also indicates that such an increase in transpiration over the Amazon and other drought-stressed regions affects the seasonal cycles of temperature through changes in latent heat, thereby establishing a direct link between plant root functioning and climate.
From time to time I will add to this page further research done by Dawson and other who vision along the same line of thought and discovery. Keep checking for updated page. | 2019-04-24T17:47:21Z | http://creating-a-new-earth.blogspot.com/2012/03/todd-dawsons-lab.html |

Minsk, June 22, Interfax - The Belarusian authorities are ready to make every effort to stop the war in Ukraine, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at a Saturday meeting with Patriarch Kirill in Minsk.
“We are brothers – Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians – we come from the same root. We are in pain when our brothers are in trouble. We will do our utmost to cushion the situation in at least some way and if possible, stop this fratricidal war,” Lukashenko said as quoted by BelTA state news agency.
The patriarch thanked Belarus for its role in organizing talks on a settlement in Ukraine.
“This is a wound in my heart. The canonical Orthodox Church has people from both the East and the West among its flock. This places special responsibility on the church,” he said.
“Today our Church is the only organization in Ukraine and the only power that has retained its peacekeeping potential because it has not identified itself with either side,” the patriarch said.
He stressed that the flock should not be divided on political grounds.
“There are Orthodox Christians on both sides, they suffer and die on both sides,” he said.
Lukashenko added that people of different creeds in Belarus feel no problems in their relationships.
“I don’t see any problems in the relations of our believers. We greatly appreciate this and will try to save them, as much as possible,” he said.
“Catholics and Orthodox Christians live very peacefully with each other. We have no claims to make to each other. We are trying to help both so that it would be convenient for people and that everyone would find one’s own way to the church,” he added.
Lukashenko said that the Belarusian Orthodox Church plays a leading role in the country’s religious life. “Belarus is a bulwark of Orthodox Christianity on the western frontier of our once glorious Fatherland,” he stressed.
He said that Orthodox Christianity is “powerful as ever” also in the south and west of Belarus where many Catholics live. | 2019-04-20T15:21:56Z | http://www.pravmir.com/lukashenko-promises-patriarch-kirill-to-do-his-utmost-to-stop-war-in-ukraine/ |

This resort is minutes away from downtown Scottsdale, with great restaurants and shopping. But it is also quiet, with nice patios and great views of Camelback mountain. Make sure you walk Camelback Resorts labyrinth.
The Culinary Dropout in downtown Scottsdale prides itself for serving, "classic meals done right. With crowd favorites like pretzel bites and provolone fondue, 36-hour pork ribs, and their famous fried chicken drizzled with honey."
We love their meatloaf and southern-fried chicken, but "you’ll want to taste everything".
"Thirsty? Wash it all down with an ice-cold craft beer or a killer house-made cocktail."
Our favorite is the Culinary Dropout's Bloody Mary with a slice of bacon.
"Don't forget to stick around for games and free live music with a laid-back vibe. Culinary Dropout is for anyone who loves damn good food and drinks."
We have visited this very friendly place for several years. We especially enjoy sitting street side on hot days, shaded and cooled by the mist. The service is as friendly as it gets. If you're interested in what makes young people happy and friendly in their jobs, you might want to ask the managers how they do it.

Sony focuses on 4K high-definition video recording in its new smartphone as the industry faces uphill challenges.
Japan's Sony Corporation is turning its focus to 4K high-definition video recording in its new Xperia XZ2 smartphone, to differentiate itself from rivals that have caught up in camera technology.
Unwrapped at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress on Monday, the XZ2 features Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back and a longer, 18:9 ratio display, which reduces the size of the bezels on the front of the handset.
The device includes super slow-motion in 1080p high definition resolution, he said. Sony introduced super slo-mo in its XZ Premium last year, a first that was copied by market leader Samsung in its Galaxy 9, unveiled on Sunday.
Sony's device can also upscale SDR video to near-HDR quality video, using technology developed with engineers working on the company's Bravia televisions, he said.
While Sony has won plaudits for technical innovations, its sales have declined and it is adrift of the top 10 vendors. It sold 4 million units in the last quarter by the end of December, down from 5.1 million a year ago, according to results published earlier this month.
Analyst Ben Wood at CCS Insight said Sony, at last, had a competitive design to match the market-leading specifications it had on previous flagship models.
"It will be ruing a missed opportunity in 2017, given it beat rivals such as Samsung by a full year when it comes to features such as super-slow-mo video capture," he said.
However, he said Sony faced the same uphill challenge as most smartphone makers in standing out in the market.
"Taking on Apple and Samsung requires eye-watering investment that rivals such as Sony, HTC, LG and others are always going to struggle with," he said.

Self awareness includes recognizing your own traits, feelings, and behaviors.
A 'fragile sense of self' may leave pupils vulnerable. Help to understand their diagnosis can help improve their self awareness, self confidence and self esteem.
Parents are usually the best people to share a diagnosis. In some circumstances they may find it beneficial to involve someone else who knows the child well and provides other support. This can be particularly the case with some adolescents who may accept explanations better from someone not within the family.
There are often concerns about the timing of discussions about diagnosis. Despite an increasing number resources there is limited research to provide guidance on when and how to begin the process.
Sometimes discussion is prompted by the prospect of an ‘accidental disclosure’ based on raised awareness in schools, the increasing emphasis on pupil participation in self- assessment, review meetings and planning, or questions from young people about why they have additional support, perhaps from an outreach teacher.
Attwood suggests that children younger than 8years may not consider themselves particularly different from their peers and have difficulty understanding the concepts.
Parents, staff and other agencies involved should carefully consider a range of approaches and views of the implications (positive and negative) before beginning to share information. Further discussion will also be required to decide who else needs to know, especially within the school situation, and the implication in Senior phase when considering destinations after school.
Recognizing that each individual has a unique blend of abilities, talents and needs.
Identifying the benefits and difficulties of these characteristics.
Being aware that feelings and reactions can change depending upon what is happening.
Identifying possible challenges related to difficulties and strategies which may be useful.
Use of resources such as workbooks, information leaflets and books, autobiographies. | 2019-04-24T00:13:33Z | http://autismtoolbox.co.uk/supporting-wellbeing/sharing-diagnosis/ |
Six Resistance bombers, including Paige Tico’s Cobalt Hammer, made up Cobalt Squadron. The squadron was unavailable for the attack on Starkiller Base because it was bringing supplies to insurgents opposing the First Order in the Atterra system. The bombers rushed back to D’Qar aboard the Ninka and were sent into combat to buy time for the Resistance evacuation.

Ctrip turned Trip.com into an English-language version of its online travel agency content.
In the last few days, Ctrip ported the travel recommendation service it acquired to a new domain, www.trip.skyscanner.com, and on Sunday it turned Trip.com into an English-language version of Ctrip’s online travel agency content. The homepage format is different in some ways from the English-language version of its long-standing Ctrip.com website.
As of launch day, Trip.com’s homepage is scrubbed of any reference to being Chinese-owned, although the the Trip.com About Us page says Trip.com is part of the Ctrip Group. The signature Ctrip logo is missing from the site. A promotional box emphasizes trips to Chinese cities, but the search engine offers travel to 5,000 cities in 200 countries.
Industry insiders will be watching whether Ctrip eventually uses the domain as an “open platform” that mixes Skyscanner’s metasearch model with traditional online travel agency listings. There have been signs that a mixed model, or “open platform,” is what company executives think will work best. Already in flight results on Trip.com, there are a mix of deals from wholesalers and suppliers when listing airfares, though not content from Skyscanner yet. | 2019-04-20T00:18:34Z | https://www.chinatravelnews.com/article/118662 |

MEXICO CITY – The mayor of a city in Durango state was among more than a dozen people murdered in Mexico in the past two days, officials said.
Manuel Estrada Escalante, mayor of the city of El Mezquital, was gunned down at a restaurant on Monday night.
The 34-year-old Estrada Escalante, a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, was buried on Tuesday.
At least six gunmen attacked the mayor and lawmaker Mariano Soto, who is listed in serious condition at a hospital, Mexican media reported.
Ramon Mendivil Sotelo, mayor of the city of Guadalupe y Calvo, was murdered last Thursday, Chihuahua state officials said.
A group of around 20 gunmen, meanwhile, killed 13 people, including five police officers, in a community in the southern state of Oaxaca, a municipal official said.
The gunmen went into two houses in the community of Vicente Camalote and killed eight people, including some children, Acatlan de Perez Figueroa Mayor Nicolas Villalva Arguello said.
The five police officers died when they went to help the victims and were met by gunfire, Villalva said.
The community of Vicente Camalote is in the Papaloapan Basin region, on the border with Veracruz state.
The Maciel and Hernandez families, who own the houses attacked by the gunmen, are well known in the region’s business community.
Initial reports said the gunmen fled in seven Hummers.
The bodies of four men killed execution-style were found Tuesday in Tampico, a port city in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, police said.
A message was left on the bodies, but police did not reveal its content.
The bodies were found inside a house in the Infonavit Cañada neighborhood, which was cordoned off by army troops and police, prosecutor Norberto Montes said.
The bodies were taken to the coroner’s office, which will perform the autopsies, Montes said.
Officials in Tamaulipas have called for calm in the wake of rumors about shootouts that prompted parents to keep their children out of school.
The mayor of the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Ramon Garza Barrios, asked citizens Tuesday to stay calm amid rumors of acts of violence and curfews.
“I want to tell the people to be calm, that many rumors like this one have come out about crime in our city. We are in contact with federal authorities, with the army, with the state Attorney General’s Office, with all the police agencies, and we have not confirmed anything,” the mayor said.
Classes were suspended Tuesday for all grades in Nuevo Laredo due to rumors about shootouts.
The rumors also spread to other cities in the northern part of Tamaulipas, which borders Texas.
The Gulf cartel, one of Mexico’s most powerful criminal organizations, operates in Tamaulipas.
Mexico’s drug cartels have been battling for control of the smuggling routes into the United States.
Mexico has been plagued in recent years by drug-related violence blamed on powerful cartels.
Last year, according to the El Universal newspaper, was the deadliest in Mexico in the past decade, with 7,724 people killed in violent incidents attributed to organized crime groups. | 2019-04-24T20:27:10Z | http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=352832&CategoryId=14091 |
The versatile and practical Honeycomb Tea Towels are an essential for any catered establishment. The honeycomb 100% cotton design makes these cloths super absorbent, ideal for drying glassware, dishes and for general kitchen use. The plain white colour also makes these towels ideal for use as a waiter's cloth.
"These tea towels are good for anything but excellent for glassware. I washed mine before using them, as this helps to soften the towels and to get rid of any ''stuffing'' used by the manufacture which gives this type of material its stiffness. I would most certainly recommend them." | 2019-04-25T00:15:09Z | https://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=14616&affID=16161616&utm_source=barmans&utm_campaign=closure_notice&utm_medium=product |
