One 3d printed Skadi Ulfhedinn – Demigoddess of the Hunt model from the Artisan Guild Collection. Printed at their native scale of 32mm on a 30mm base.
“From icy fjords to wild forests, the heart of the hunt beats within me.” – Skadi Ulfhedinn
Whispers abound that the huntress Skadi is of divine descent, believed to be the reincarnation of an ancient Hunt Goddess. As prophesized, Skadi was birthed by the womb of a Frost Jotunn of Skutagaard’s icy reaches. Seen frail and sick by the giants, she has been abandoned in infancy, discovered by the old Sage Wodan, who immediately discerned the signs of the prophecy in her starlit icy eyes and her pale, ethereal complexion.
Trained in the hunting arts, Skadi spent twenty years in the wilds as the prophecy foretold, seeking to harmonize with nature and unravel her celestial origins, although she remains in search of answers since most frost giants mysteriously left the land in masses to reach the peaks, now called Jotunn Pass.
At the beginning of her journey she rescued a white bear cub from a pack of Snow Ogres. This cub grew to be her trusted hunting companion, now known as the fierce Gauldurbjorn.
Cloaked in the pelt of a Snow Worg and wielding her enchanted bow, the nimble Skadi is fiercely determined to wrest Frostheart Island from the scaly grasp of the Frost Lizardmen and the colossal Linnorms that inhabit it.
Supplied with both Bow and Arrow and her Seax’s you can equip Skadi in whichever fashion you choose.
3d printed in a blend of resins to produce the best detail but also offer shock resistance.
Models are printed at a 50 micron layer height for a high detail to cost ratio.

First Day of Camp DVD Overview
Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is a 2015 satirical comedy television series written by David Wain and Michael Showalter, and directed by Wain. The eight-episode Netflix series is a prequel to Wain’s 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer. All eight episodes were released on July 31, 2015.Jake Fogelnest was also involved
After years of speculation and reports on a possible sequel to Wet Hot American Summer, shooting began on the miniseries in January 2015.The entire adult cast of the film returned in the same roles. Much of the film was shot in Los Angeles. Working around the availability of the cast members, many of whom had seen a significant rise in stardom since the original film, was difficult; some sources report that Bradley Cooper, who plays Ben, had to shoot all of his scenes in one day,although star and co-writer Michael Showalter has since denied this claim.
Along with the series, a making-of documentary on Wet Hot American Summer, titled Hurricane of Fun: The Making of Wet Hot, was released on Netflix on July 24, 2015, consisting of behind the scenes interviews and footage shot during the filming of the movie.

One of the most common questions we hear on our events is "What are your shields made of?" Most visitors are satisfied with the answer "They're made of wood", but some are more interested and also want to know how they are made. Thanks to Athineos, we now have the opportunity to take a good look at the internal structure and composition of one of our Aspides.
Athineos uses an Aspis for his Archaic impression. Take a look at a picture showing the shield, which was originally bought from Daniyal Steel Crafts in India. Today, the shield can also be bought in Europe from Armae. The painting and the metal rims were done by Athineos himself. The whole Aspis had a weight of 14.2kg before the conversion.
The goal of the current project is to completely cover the front of the shield with thin bronze metal. To keep it from getting too heavy, the first step is to remove the existing cover materials. The easiest part were self-made the 2.2kg metal fittings, the removal of the cloth cover proved to be much more difficult. Apparently the Indian workers had no shortage of glue and used so much of it that Athineos had to remove the cloth using a belt sander. After 800g of cloth were gone, the wooden core of the shield was clearly visible.
On the picture you can clearly see that the Indians constructed the shield using the ring-method. This is a common method for such shields, where the basic shape of the shield body is approximated by layering of wooden rings or discs. The approximation is then grinded and sanded until it reaches the final desired form. This method of construction is today often used for shields, which are curved in both directions, because it is simpler than constructing the shield from curved wooden planks, which would be the historically correct method of construction. A closer look at the wooden core also reveals the flaws of the ring-method. To achieve the nice bowl-shape, the Indian workers had to use wood-filler at serveral places.
After the front of the shield is now "naked", Athineos will do the same for the back and will then cover the shield using thin leather and bronze metal. When there are new pictures of the shield, we will keep you up to date.

This would be her first baby with her companion Blake Shelton. While the couple hasn’t officially tied the knot quite yet, Blake’s latest music video has those wedding rumors swirling quicker than ever – and for good reason! But the video is still plenty heartwarming, as it follows a bride and groom’s family on their wedding day – which, naturally, involves a canine companion – and serves up a fun twist as the song nears its end.
The fans of the TV judge couple were overjoyed to see the kids in Shelton’s music video. In the adorable video, Gwen and Gavin’s two oldest sons – 11-year-old Kingston and nine-year-old Zuma – make a cameo appearance, something that we suspect may not sit well with their father.
Already a mother of three children, Gwen Stefani may be pregnant again.
“She’s beyond proud of Blake and so honored that he sings such a handsome song for her”, the source said.
“Gwen loves being a mom and Blake has this idea in his head for months, especially since he has made acquaintance with the boys of Gwen ” said a source close to the couple to RadarOnline. “He told Gwen that she needs to focus on Blake and put her career on the back burner”.

Reality TV personality Kim Kardashian was rushed to the hospital after injuring her foot from a broken mirror in her hotel room on Sunday.
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star received stitches at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York after slicing her foot open with a broken mirror.
The socialite was in the city to promote her new flick “Disaster Movie.”
The 27-year-old reality star, which is included in the new line-up of the celebrities vying for title of the new season of “Dancing with the Stars,” premiering on September 22. After the contestant roster was revealed in “Good Morning America,” the socialite assured that her injury would not keep her from her new commitment.
She wrote on her blog: “Some press outlets are reporting that I was injured, so I thought I should let you guys know that I am totally okay and this WILL NOT affect my ability to compete in Dancing With The Stars! I did cut my foot last night in New York City.”
How did she have the injury? She explained: “I was checking emails in my hotel room and placed my computer on a mirrored desk. There were parts of the glass mirror that were cracked, and when I finished up my work and got up, my foot rubbed against it and it sliced it open.”
She added: “I was rushed by an ambulance to an emergency room nearby and had it checked out! I did not end up getting stitches because it will actually slow the healing process down—and I need to do whatever is safest but fastest healing wise. So, my doctor just “dermabonded” it—basically surgically gluing it back together and keeping it bandaged up!”

Non-Consensual Treatment Is (Nearly Always) Morally Impermissible
Cherry, Mark J
The Journal of law, medicine & ethics : a journal of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics 2010 Winter; 38(4): 789-98
Commentators routinely urge that it is morally permissible forcibly to treat psychiatric patients (1) to preserve the patient's best interests and (2) to restore the patient's autonomy. Such arguments specify duties of beneficence toward others, while appreciating personal autonomy as a positive value to be weighted against other factors. Varying by jurisdiction, legal statutes usually require, in addition, at least (3) that there exists the threat of harm to self or others. In this paper, I argue against embracing the first two elements of this prevailing view. I also argue for a very restricted reading of the third element, based on the moral limits of permissible state action.

Poor joint health is usually the result of poor biomechanics. One of the biomechanical results of fight or flight nervous system activation is a decrease in joint space. When the tendon guard reflex is activated, for example, the tendon shortens at the elbow and pulls the elbow cap higher toward the shoulder. This decreases space at the elbow joint and impinges nerves and blood vessels that run through that open space.
Compression in joints leads to more bone-on-bone contact, causes deterioration at the joint, and compresses nerves and blood vessels that rely on an open space to pass through
At the shoulder joint, in fight or flight, the upper arm bone moves further in toward the midline of the body as the collarbone moves downward and closer to the rib cage. Some of the nerves that enervate the arm run out of the neck bones, under the collarbone, and down the arm. The lymphatic system and blood vessels also run through this space. As space at the shoulder joint decreases, this affects the ability of our nerves to send and receive signals up and down the arms, and circulation and lymphatic function are impacted as well.
The joint compression that occurs during fight or flight can also lead to more bone on bone contact. In short, this causes deterioration of the joints – both bone and soft tissue – as well as impeding the function of other systems that rely on the existence of joint space.
Motor repatterning helps the nervous system open these joints, improving health at the joints, creating biomechanically optimal movement, and improving circulation, nervous system, and lymphatic system function. If poor joint biomechanics is an underlying cause of pain, this can also lead to joint pain relief.

DEC: Wetland Restoration Project Underway at Braddock Bay Fish and Wildlife Management Area
In support of Governor Cuomo's NY is Open for Fishing and Hunting initiative, wetland construction activities began this week to restore and enhance more than 200 acres of coastal fisheries habitat at Buck Pond, part of the Braddock Bay Fish and Wildlife Management Area marsh complex in Monroe County, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced today. More than 6,500 feet of water channels will be restored in the dense cattail areas in Buck Pond and 10 potholes will be restored to enhance fish spawning areas and waterfowl habitat.
"In addition to enhancing fish and wildlife habitat, this project creates a more accessible environment for the public to enjoy as well. This project would not have been possible without the support of our partners," DEC Regional Director Paul D'Amato said. "The governor's Open for Fishing and Hunting initiative is committed to furthering projects just like this one to improve opportunities in the state."
Ducks Unlimited provided funding for this project through a grant it received from Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Freshwater Future and Healing Our Waters grant program. Other partners include The Nature Conservancy, Braddock Bay Fish and Wildlife Management Area Committee, State University of New York at Brockport and the Town of Greece.
Much of the coastal marshes along eastern Lake Ontario are dominated by invasive narrow leaf and hybrid cattail. These dense cattail mats have limited value for wetland-dependent wildlife and provide poor habitat for fish, such as northern pike. This wetland project will restore native plant communities. It is also expected to improve water quality, decrease turbidity and sedimentation, and improve water flow and fluctuation.
The channels and potholes will be excavated using specialized equipment. Channels will be excavated up to three feet deep and six to eight feet wide, and provide access to the preferred spawning location for northern pike. Potholes will range in size from 1/6 acre to 1/2 acre, totaling 6.4 acres. The equipment will cut through the cattail debris and the excavated material will be piled as habitat mounds that will support native plants, such as sedges and rushes, which provide great sources of food for waterfowl.
"The ecosystem services and recreation opportunities provided by the Braddock Bay complex are important economic drivers for Monroe County and the nearby towns of Greece and Parma," said Sarah Fleming, Ducks Unlimited's New York Regional Biologist. "The wetland habitat is critical for threatened and endangered marsh birds such as American bittern, least bittern (NY threatened), Virginia rail, sora rail, sedge wren (NY threatened) and black tern (NY endangered), as well as dabbling ducks, such as, teal, mallard and black ducks. And DU is pleased to continue our partnership with NYSDEC and The Nature Conservancy to continue to restore and enhance these critical wetlands."
The methods proposed at Buck Pond have been successfully implemented elsewhere within the Lake Ontario basin to improve fish and wildlife habitat. Preliminary results indicate positive ecological benefits following channel and pothole excavation in cattail mats. Pre- and post-restoration monitoring will be completed by The Nature Conservancy.
The Conservancy is conducting a before-and-after study of the Buck Pond wetlands to track the success and effectiveness of the restoration project. Stevie Adams, freshwater conservation practitioner for the Conservancy, led a team of two seasonal staffers last summer in collecting environmental data, including surveys of plant, fish and bird species and shallow groundwater levels. Another crew will gather the response (or 'after restoration') data next summer.
"By studying groundwater at Buck Pond we are gaining a better understanding of how water moves through the marsh," said Adams. "This work is helping us figure out how to restore this wetland in the best way possible." The benefits of this project extend well beyond improved habitat in these wetlands. Wetlands are not only spawning and breeding habitats for fish and waterfowl, they also filter and purify water entering Lake Ontario and act as sponges, absorbing water during floods," continued Adams. "We're proud to be a partner in bringing back such a vital Great Lakes resource."
Improved pike spawning will in turn improve Lake Ontario's recreational fishery. Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of Fishing and Hunting licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state, and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions.
In support of this initiative, Governor Cuomo this year has proposed the creation of 50 new land access projects, which will connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and others who enjoy the outdoors to more than 380,000 acres of existing state and easement lands that have gone untapped until now. These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the Governor's budget includes $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The company that says it was in the final stages of negotiations for a recycling contract with the city of Houston is suing over records it says the city wants to keep secret.
Ecohub and its CEO George Gitschel filed the suit Tuesday in Harris County district court.
The suit asks a judge to force the city to turn over e-mails and documents that outline how the city selected a company for recycling - a process that ultimately was sent back to Mayor Sylvester Turner for further review.
Gitschel claims his company was in the home stretch in negotiations with the city over his proposal to consolidate solid waste collection into one bin. He now claims his process would save the city millions of dollars.
His company's proposal got a $1 million Bloomberg grant to explore the possibility. On the city's page, the proposal the author says "can be done" is still published.
Ecohub's attorney, Stewart Hoffer, said this case is solely about turning over records that are supposed to be public record.
City attorneys claim the records don't have to be turned over, saying that all of the "voluminous records" that they asked for are in one way or another exempt from public disclosure.
Hoffer denies that.
In many cases, public entities that want to keep records secret must first ask the attorney general for an opinion whether or not they can do so, and must provide the documents in question for an attorney to review.
In this case, because of the "voluminous" request, the city instead sent a sample of the documents to the attorney general for a decision on all the records.
Hoffer wants a judge to review all the records to see if, in fact, every single document is exempt.
"No one questions the right of anyone to file allegations in a court of law," said a spokesman for the mayor in response to the filing. "The city will respond to the allegations where they were made."

Nanjing-based firm AZL Architects creates a 3D-printed transparent garden pavilion that strikes a strong contrast with a stone-clad house in Shanyinwu, China. The purpose of the project for LEI House was to communicate an architecturally divine design, the appeal of sustainable rural development, as well as the "values [of the owner's] bed and breakfast brand."
AZL Architects uses local materials for the construction of the structure. In doing so, the practice is able to integrate the building into the narrative of the rural Chinese environment. With a strong emphasis on practicality and design, however, AZL Architects is successful in bringing the aesthetics of LEI House to the forefront. The 3D-printed transparent garden pavilion adds a nice lightweight motif to the otherwise brutalist and traditional stone-clad structure.

Can Snoqualmie Valley schools operate without the people behind the scenes who help them function on a daily basis? The people who transport, feed, help instruct classes and clean up after local kids while they’re at school.
It’s a question on the table as the union representing SVSD classified workers (Instruction Aids and Para Educators, Bus Drivers, Kitchen/Lunchroom staff, Custodians and Mechanics), Public School Employees of Washington (PSE), continues to negotiate a new contract for its 200+ members.
According to one union member, the big issues are pay and contract length. The district is proposing a 4-year contract with a 1% raise each year. The union wants a 3-year contract with a 2% raise each year – similar to the raise given to teachers in September. There also is an issue regarding health care benefits and how much “carve out” will be paid by the district.
Opstad Elementary Kitchen Manager and 25-year employee, Kathy Ryan says union members haven’t had a cost of living raise in years, commenting, “We’re trying to make it on six-year ago wages.”
Ryan, who is also a union steering committee member, commented, “We don’t want to strike. We want a fair contract.”
The district and the union negotiated during the summer, including June and July when teacher negotiations were not happening, without reaching a settlement. PSE union members having been working without a contract (expired on August 31, 2013) as teams for both sides continue negotiations, including 3+ hour session yesterday, October 14th.
According to the union steward for Snoqualmie Valley bus drivers, the union was presented with a revised wage package during yesterday’s talks, along with the possibility of the removal of Insurance Pooling on Monday if an agreement was not reached on the wage package.
In the end, the union steward reported that their Board of Trustees held a short meeting and decided that PERC (Public Employees Relations Commission) mediator should be brought in to help with further negotiations, stating the sides were too far apart on wage issues.
The two sides are scheduled to bargain again on Friday, October 18th, but it is unclear a mediator can be scheduled before that time.

To Have A Successful Circular Economy Consumers MUST Play a Role
I was recently invited by the Chilean Plastics Pact (Circula el Plástico) to give my vision for how a proposed bill in Chile would impact consumer education and the transition toward a circular economy.
The bill seeks to regulate mainly the delivery of disposable products in food outlets, promotes reusable containers, regulates the certification of other kinds of polymers (not petroleum based) and also regulates disposable plastic bottles and it’s reusable alternatives.
The different items in this bill align with the commitments that have been made together with more than 40 organizations from the public, private and civil sectors that are part of the Chilean Plastics Pact. The Pact aims to foster initiatives that will reduce the use of problematic or unnecessary plastics and promotes reuse and the incorporation of recycled material in new packaging. It’s very similar to other pacts we at Plastic Oceans International have joined, most notable the worldwide Ocean Plastics Charter and the Portuguese Plastics Pact.
In my view, there is one great challenge that is relevant to all these efforts to curtail plastic waste, which is the perception that the consumer does not play a role. It’s a problem that is rarely addressed publicly, but the consumer must be a key player in any transition to a circular paradigm. We know from experience that any initiative of this nature requires their active participation for it to be successful.
Most of us are linear consumers. We are the product of a system programmed for us to consume products that are intended for single-use and then throw them away. This is not a criticism of consumers, this is how we were programmed for more than 70 years. A society that works in a linear way is not limited to consumers, as it is also the way companies are currently producing products and in general it’s how business is done.
On a planet with finite resources, and without its own capacity to process plastics when they end up in the environment, continuing with a linear model does not make any sense. In the long run it will be very costly. Thus, we have to reprogram our way of thinking and look for the opportunities that this bill can bring us.
We need to become consumers that are aware of the impact of what we consume … transforming to Circular Consumers. We must ask ourselves where the resources to produce a product came from and where our waste ends up after it leaves our hands, our homes and our communities. We must also take an active role in a circular system that embraces all stakeholders, including government and corporations. Finally, we need to become consumers who rethink their convenience and who are open to generate changes for the good of the entire planet.
From Linear to Circular Consumers … Becoming Users of Resources, Not Trash
I propose that we stop seeing ourselves as consumers and instead become USERS, or circular consumers. Users who understand that each product has a lifecycle that generates impact at each stage, from its creation to its use and disposal or return. We need to understand that we are part of a circular system that views our consumed products as resources instead of trash. We should be users who are at the center of this new model, not at the end.
In order to participate in this new circular system, I believe that education must be integrated into all projects and initiatives that are being developed at this time. It should be in the very curriculum of our educational institutions. Educating about this new circular system cannot fall only on the Ministry of the Environment, and NGOs, but rather needs to be implemented by all stakeholders in our communities. It is time to generate collective change, and one that has circular consumers as part of the solution.

What's a 'crude' bomb, anyway?
A member of the bomb squad investigates a suspicious item on the road near Kenmare Square on April 15. Photo: Alex Trautwig/Getty Images
"Crude" is certainly an interesting word to apply to an explosive that is capable of ripping flesh from limb, and so I wanted to find out what experts mean they say they an explosive device is not sophisticated.
The answer is two-fold: electronics and chemicals. First, a "crude" bomb is likely to use a timing device — a so-called "command" bomb that does not require an outside stimulus, such as a radio frequency, or pressure, or a laser, to detonate. Secondly, it probably does not contain high-grade explosives, the type that you'd find in, say, improvised explosive devices in warzones. If you've ever seen an IED explode, you'll note that the fireball is much bigger than the one we've all seen in Boston. For hundreds of years, gun powder, or black powder, was used as the main ingredient in bombs, and it remains the easiest to procure and then figure out how to detonate.
How can even a small amount of explosives be so dangerous?
It contains a lot of potential energy that can be very rapidly liberated. Even low-grade explosives can deflagrate — which means that the chemical energy travels more quickly than the percussive force, as fast as several hundred meters per second.
Someone standing within, say, 20 feet of a small device can have his leg torn off by shrapnel from the container of the device. But more likely, the traumatic amputations we saw were the result of the shock wave itself, which can slam people to the ground, or into railings, or into buildings, which such force that But many injuries are percussive; the shock wave can compress chest cavities, blow apart blood vessels and snap necks. (Blast lung is the most common cause of death from explosives; the shock wave over pressurizes body cavities, causing ruptures).

The March 20, 2010, edition of the Turning Point online devotional shares this story: In the early days of television, there was a situation comedy in which two characters were discussing an acquaintance who had the annoying habit of slapping his friends across the chest whenever they met. "I am fixed for him," said one character to the other. "I put a stick of dynamite in my vest pocket and the next time he slaps me he is going to get his hand blown off."
He hadn't bothered to think the dynamite would hurt him more than his friend.
David Jeremiah says, "An unforgiving spirit is like that. The Bible tells us to beware of the root of bitterness that can spring up and defile many. Jesus told us to be quick and frequent forgivers. His phrase 'seventy times seven' wasn't intended to give us a literal count, but to convey an ongoing attitude. Whenever we're hurt by someone, we can either hold on to the grudge, or we can process it on our knees, releasing the bitterness and leaving the matter in God's hands. Don't walk around with dynamite in your pocket."

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Thousands of fans of Japanese Anime are hitting up Summit City this weekend.
The Ikasucon convention is being held at the Grand Wayne Center. It’s a Japanese gaming, animation, and pop culture convention. Fans can meet with voice coaches, voice directors, and animators who are hosting workshops and Q&A sessions. The highlight of the weekend is tonight’s Cos-play Masquerade Ball.
There are many different types of conventions across the country, but organizers say the fan base for Ikasucon is very loyal.
“So you have your science fiction convention where people are dressed up from StarTrek and Star Wars. You’ll have your comic book conventions where people are dressed up as super heros. The grand majority of our attendess dress up from Japanese animation and manga,” relations director Caitlin Patrick-Nickels said.
The convention draws about 2,000 vistors each year.


Patterns of behavior
With all the sudden attention being brought to light about sexual harassment in the workplace, let’s not forget this is not just something experienced in Hollywood or Washington. Women have been dealing with this treatment for years.
About a year ago, my daughter who worked in Williamsburg, made a complaint about a male colleague who routinely talked about his sexual conquests and made crude comments about women and their bodies. It made for a very uncomfortable work environment and was extremely offensive to the largely female workforce.
After being thanked for bringing it to her supervisor’s attention, she was told she needed to deal with it and...

In today’s installment of Media Beat, bestselling novelist and attorney Scott Turow recalled his early days as a struggling novelist before he published Presumed Innocent. He revisited those characters in his newest novel, Innocent.
He recalled his early failures as a novelist: “Presumed Innocent was written over a six to seven year period with intervals in between where I was figuring out the end of the book and writing other stuff … My life as a writer was carried on against the odds. I had written four unpublished novels by then … as a writer of fiction I hadn’t gotten very far. I just wanted to do it. It was my dream as a kid to be a novelist and I wanted to carry on with it. And I did. The truth of the matter is that the people who succeed in the arts most often are the people who get up again after getting knocked down. Persistence is critical.”
Turow also pondered writing another book about the hero of Presumed Innocent: “It’s not clear in my mind. It’s possible we will see Rusty again. His son Nat is 28 and an interesting fellow in his own right. We may see more of Nat. I don’t know right now. I write based on powerful inner impulses and those seem to shift over time.”

TAMPA, Fla. (FOX 13) - Sunscreens are once again under the federal microscope after an FDA study revealed four common active chemicals found in sunscreens can be absorbed into the bloodstream if applied several times throughout the day.
The study, published Monday in the medical journal JAMA, looked at 24 healthy volunteers who applied a randomly assigned sunscreen on 75% of their body four times each day for four days.
According to the study, the blood concentration of avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule, and octocrylene rose significantly over the seven day testing period.
"This does raise our eyebrows a bit," said Dr. Neil Fenske, professor and chairman of the Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery at USF Health.
However, Dr. Fenske says the amount of sunscreen the participants of this study used is much higher than what the average person would use.
"Nobody uses sunscreens in the real world the way the study was designed," said Fenske.
While many doctors agree more long-term studies are needed, they say sunscreen is one of the safest and most vital options for skin protection against harmful ultraviolet rays.
The study did not examine the effects the chemicals could have on the human body.

“The Coincidence of Birth” is a collection of short stories by North Carolina native and nationally recognized writer Ty Keenum. Keenum’s personal journey began in the mountains of North Carolina with residence stopovers in Florida, Texas, and finally culminating in Atlanta, Georgia. Like the author, the story’s settings wind throughout the southland from the mountains of West Virginia to the Gulf coast of Florida, the furniture markets of North Carolina and culminates in of all places, the White House.
The stories’ themes are as disparate as the locations and cover an extensive variety of human conditions and circumstances. All circumstances that were put into play by “The Coincidence of Birth.”
- This collection of short stories has something for nearly every kind of reader, unless they don’t like humor, satire, well-turned phrases, and interesting characters.
- Keenum is a master wordsmith who has constructed a narrative that keeps the reader turning the page.
- Keenum uses an appealing mixture of both subtle and laugh out loud humor to tell this story of a faltering church and its board of Elders facing tough decisions for their old church in a new world. Besides the writing— which is just plain entertaining— the story arc kept me engaged from start to finish.
“Dreams,” a poignant short story penned by an older author whose own life eerily mirrors the tragic narrative, delves deep into the realms of shattered dreams, betrayal, and the perilous descent into madness. The tale unfolds with a melancholic charm, exploring the blurred lines between fiction and reality as it chronicles the life of its protagonist, a seasoned writer who faces a series of devastating setbacks.

Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz still has acting on the brain (he just shot a guest spot for an upcoming episode of ABC’s Don’t Trust The B—- in Apt 23), but tugging at his heart these days is music.
The 26-year-old self-taught drummer is the newest member of KINGSFOIL, a pop-rock band from Central Penn. founded by longtime friends Jordan Davis (vocals, guitar) and Tristan Martin (guitar, keyboards). They’ve been on the indie scene since 2007 when they released their debut EP Bear in the Attic and opened for such artists as Anberlin and The Ting Tings.
What’s their connection to Muniz, who was born in New Jersey and lives in Arizona? He was a fan, after hearing of the band through the manager they shared, and saw opportunity when KINGSFOIL had a vacancy at the riser.
“I almost didn’t go,” says Muniz of his first audition. “I was a little intimidated because I was such a fan of their music. I thought I wasn’t good enough.”
Not only did he get the gig, he then had just four days to learn their set and open for Passion Pit.
Since that fateful night, the band has tightened thanks to a 30-date tour and time spent in the studio — and are hookier for it.
KINGSFOIL will release their second album (but first with Muniz), A Beating Heart is a Bleeding Heart, on Sept. 25 via their own label, Holiday Heart Records. Listen to their instantly hummable nineties-esque first single, “What Your Mother Taught You,” above.

Early data has signalled a renewed fall in business activity in February across both the services and manufacturing sectors in Australia, with the latest ‘flash’ CBA Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) underlining the impact of the bushfires and coranvirus on key parts of the economy.
Details released show that business activity in the services sector fell for the third time in the past four months and at the quickest rate on record in the index’s four year history. Business conditions across Australia’s manufacturing sector also deteriorated for the fourth successive month, albeit only slightly.
“The February ‘flash’ results imply a contraction in private demand,” said CBA senior economist, Gareth Aird. “Whilst this is clearly a disappointing result, it is not altogether surprising given the two negative shocks that have hit the Australian economy - the bushfires and the coronavirus.”
In February, the Flash Composite Output Index was down to 48.3 from 50.2. Readings below 50.0 signalling a deterioration in business activity on the previous month.
“Our main concern is that these events have hit the global and local economies at a time when domestic demand was already soft,” noted Aird. “The level of both the services and manufacturing PMIs highlights the need for more policy stimulus. With monetary policy doing most of the heavy lifting, an easing in fiscal policy continues to look the most appropriate response to support aggregate demand.”
The CBA ‘flash’ PMI is based on around 85 per cent of final survey responses and final indices for February published approximately one week later.

A Bit of Whimsy
I thought I'd try a little watercoloring today, so I busted out my Blender Pen and the You're Sublime stamp set, and had some fun!
This stamp set is so fun and whimsical - and the perfect images for watercoloring. You'll find it in the Annual Catalog on page 45. Or you can click on the image to go straight to the order page! It comes in eitherClear Mount or Wood Mount stamps.
I started with a wash of water and Soft Sky ink over the whole 3" x 3" piece of watercolor paper. When that dried, I stamped the image in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Basic Black embossing powder. This gives a bright shiny black outline in which to add watercolor.
The colors I used were Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, and Pumpkin Pie.
I added the clear Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers to the windows for a fun touch.
The DSP can be found in the Have a Cuppa DSP Stack, 2016 Occasions Catalog, page 35. The finished card size is 4 1/4" square. It fits in a regular sized envelope, and I lined the back flap with Bermuda Bay paper from the Designer Series Paper Stack, Annual Catalog page 144.
This card is going to my grandson in Seattle, because he is the most sublime character I've ever known!!!
Back tomorrow with a card for the Pals Paper Arts challenge. See you then!

If you’re still just starting to think about buying a house one day, check out our Affordability Calculator. This simple, clickable tool helps you find a ballpark estimate of how much house you can afford. It factors in both mortgage and non-mortgage expenses, such as utilities, maintenance, and home improvement costs.
But if you’re thinking more seriously about buying a home and want to find out what kind of rates you can qualify for, it only takes a few minutes to start the pre-approval process.
You’ll self-report your income and assets, and then we give you personalized rates and a pre-approval letter. It only takes a few minutes and won’t affect your credit score in any way.
Once you’re pre-approved, you can get a Loan Estimate, which gives you the estimated interest rate, monthly payment, total closing costs for the loan, and the estimated costs of taxes and insurance. It’s the best tool for comparing mortgage rates between lenders. With Better Mortgage, you’ll get a Loan Estimate in seconds, but traditional lenders can take up to three days.

For the timeframe in which you created this game, I think it was quite good!
As Vast as the Sea
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
A modern Greek romance...
Erita has had enough of her life on her island and set sails one night to finally leave it all behind- only, when she wakes up, she finds she has left her entire world behind. Awoken by a mermaid, Erita finds herself in the underwater city of Ogygia, her new home. Help her find her place in this new world!
- 2 female love interests with 1 ending each (girls love)
- Around 30 minutes of story
- Art, writing, and programming was done by me, Mikomi Kisomi
- Music was by Alcaknight
- Backgrounds were edited from Unsplash
This game was made in under 72 hour for Ludum Dare #41.
Well... As you can see, though, this doesn't really fit the theme of LD 41! That's because it was a bad theme in practice. My original idea was going to be to make a horror-esque game with Shakespearean/theatrical style writing, but due to time constraints I had to port this to Ren'Py from RPG Maker. This is short, sweet, and has some flaws, but I hope VN (and yuri) fans can appreciate it.

I was wondering if this game was good or not, surprisingly, I was intrigued by it. Very nice storyline indeed.
Very interesting game. It's never too many interesting stories about mermaids.
I like that player can choose beetweem 2 girls. And I know that you made this in under 72 hrs. But You could add more choices and maybe more endings. You know, to make it a bit more intersting.
The story is very simple and a bit liner. You could make it longer and more complicated. And some CGs would be great. But it's still good game.
I like the artstyle. Good sprites, Music and backgrounds are not bad.

Victoria Pumping Station
Marker No: 16922
Aluminum 27 x 42 Subject Marker
Texas Historic Landmark
National Register of Historic Places
Geographic: 28.806076, -97.015945
Location: 1201 West Stayton Avenue, Victoria
Marker Text: In the 1880s, English-born William Wheeler (1861-1931) came to Texas with the C. E. Gray Construction Co. To install water works for Palestine, Tyler, Taylor, Columbus, and Victoria. He arrived in Victoria in June 1884 with construction engineer J. T. Jones. Upon completion of the contract in early 1885, Wheeler was hired as Victoria’s superintendent of water works.
The first frame boiler house was lost to fire and replaced by a brick building c. 1890, designed by local architect Jules C. Leffland. This building housed two boilers and two pumps, which drew water from the Guadalupe River and delivered it to a 100-foot tall standpipe in the center of the public square. In 1901 Wheeler’s new home near the water works included a system pressure gauge in the central hall, so that he could monitor the water pressure after hours. In 1904 the new municipal sewer system was placed under Wheeler’s supervision. Frank Reuben Rockwell built the site’s first reservoir in 1909. Two deep wells drilled the same year by Layne and Bowler of Houston ended the system’s use of untreated river water. Wheeler retired in 1922 and H. G. King replaced him. Terrell Bartlett Engineering Co. (1926) and Victoria architect Kai J. Leffland (1936) designed additions to the original building. The complex is masonry with stucco construction, flat roofs and a string course below the parapet. Metal casement windows and projecting structural piers divide walls into multiple bays.
By 1970, new city facilities had rendered the site obsolete. Portions were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. After the buildings were threatened with demolition, the site which had been public land since 1841 became private property in march 2010. This notable municipal architecture remains a fixture near Riverside Park. A complete renovation was completed in 2011. (2011)


Tour de France officials came down hard on a pair of cyclists who exchanged some light shoves on Wednesday, and neither side appears to be happy about it.
Luke Rowe and Tony Martin were disqualified from the race after appearing to shove each other near the finish of the race’s Stage 17 to Gap in the Col de la Sentinelle, according to the Associated Press.
Martin seemed to initiate by shoving Rowe near the edge of the road and Rowe responded by chasing him down and grabbing him by the neck once the two had joined a pack of other cyclists.
Though cycling officials weren’t amused by the exchange, it’s apparently water under the bridge already for the cyclists.
Rowe said they cycled the end of the race together and shook hands afterward, then the two gave a joint interview to discuss the incident and their appeal.
“It’s out there for everyone to see. They can make of it what they want to make of it,” Rowe said. “I think I can hold my hand up and say I made a mistake. It’s something I’ve got to live with now. It’s heat of the moment. It was hot out there. We were fighting for position.”
Rowe’s team manager Dave Brailsford reportedly called the disqualification “incredibly harsh” and the jostling “nothing more than you see most days of the race.”
Rowe and Martin being kicked out of the Tour de France carries significant implications for the rest of the race, because they aren’t the only two cyclists hurt by the decision.
Rowe is a teammate of defending Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas, who is currently in second in the overall standings. Martin rides with Steven Kruijswijk, who is currently third. Both cyclists could miss their teammates in the upcoming Alpine stages of the race.

And now for something completely Icelandic.
This is the video for “Add This Song,” the lead single off of GusGus‘ upcoming album, 24/7, due for release on September 14.
While I’d never heard anything GusGus produced in their 14 years of being, I now find myself utterly intrigued. “Add This Song,” with its Kleerup-ian sad disco throb, echoey vocals, and Cut Copy-like wisps of electronica, contains all the sure-fire elements of musical magic.
But it was the video that initially got my attention.
In the mood for nudity, necrophilia, and some subtle traces of homo-eroticism? Step right up. Directed by Heimir Sverrisson and JÃ³n Atli Helgasson, the cliip utilizes the unnaturally muted hues behind the excellent 2008 Swedish horror flick Let The Right One In and a few plot-thickening scenarios to create this well-crafted, macabre fantasy.
What does it all mean? I’m not quite sure yet–though I reckon it’d be a great discussion piece for a film class.


New York, Feb 23 (IANS) Sweltering heat waves that typically strike once every 20 years could become yearly events across 60 percent of Earth’s land surface by 2075 if greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, says a study.
However, if emissions are aggressively cut, the severity of these 20-year events could be significantly reduced over the majority of the world’s land areas, though portions of the Earth would still face dangerous heat extremes, the researchers said.
For example, in 2075, almost a quarter — instead of more than a half — of land areas could experience 20-year heat waves that are at least five degrees Celsius hotter than today’s.
“But even with such dramatic reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, future heat waves will be far more dangerous than they are now,” said one of the researchers Michael Wehner from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US.
The study, published in the journal Climatic Change, quantified the benefits society would reap, in terms of avoiding extreme heat events, if action is taken now to mitigate climate change.
“The study shows that aggressive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions will translate into sizable benefits, starting in the middle of the century, for both the number and intensity of extreme heat events,” said Claudia Tebaldi from the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado.
“Even though heat waves are on the rise, we still have time to avoid a large portion of the impacts,” Tebaldi noted.
The researchers used data generated by the NCAR-based Community Earth System Model to study 20-year extreme heat events — those intense enough to have just a one-in-20 chance of occurring in any given year.
The researchers looked at two things: how frequently today’s typical 20-year heat wave may occur in the future, as well as how much more intense future 20-year heat waves will be.
Besides finding that today’s 20-year heat waves could become annual occurrences across more than half of the world’s land areas by 2075, the study also concluded that heat waves with a one-in-20 chance of occurring during a future year will be much more extreme than heat waves with the same probability of occurring today.
For example, if emissions remain unabated, such a heat wave in 2050 would be at least three degrees Celsius hotter for 60 percent of the world’s land areas. For 10 percent of land areas, a 20-year heat wave in 2050 would be at least five degrees Celsius, the study projected.

ZombiU was nowhere near profitable and Ubisoft has no plans for a sequel, according to a GamesIndustry International article on Wii U's third-party prospects. Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot said the original zombie survival game didn't move nearly enough numbers to consider further development.
Evidently the prototype which was in the works earlier this year could not overcome its predecessor's shadow.
Guillemot said ZombiU's poor performance on Wii U convinced Ubisoft to develop former console exclusive Rayman Legends for PS3 and Xbox 360. The multinational publisher was one of Wii U's strongest supporters, with a half-dozen titles available in its launch window.
"We must find a way to ensure the creativity of those games could have a big enough audience," Guillemot said. "We hope it will take off. At the moment, we've said 'let's do through Christmas and see where we are from there.'"
Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore said his company has no games in development for Wii U at the moment. The console's focus just doesn't seem to match with EA's.
"The lack of online engagement that we see on Wii U [is troubling]," Moore said. "It's so integral to what we do. They're so small it's hardly worth running the servers. It seems like a box that's out of sync with the future of EA--which is one that gives a real social feel to our games. The Wii U feels like an offline experience right now."

Even if they are extremely warm, eat fruits and vegetables rich in protein and minerals, mucus is the eternal companion of babies and young children, since their immune system is constantly building defenses. In general, we perform a nasal wash to clear their nostrils, but many times we commit mistakes that we don’t realize. In the following note we tell you what things to avoid when clean him nose.

According to the portal Be parents, it is estimated that a young child between 12 to 15 mild respiratory infections during the first year of school. Doing calculations, it could be said that they catch a cold once every two weeks.
Another aspect to take into account is the sudden change in climate, which ends up being more decisive. In Mag we tell you some of the most common mistakes that are made in a nasal wash.
What things should you avoid when cleaning your nose?
Many people think that applying several drops of serum to the nose is the best solution, however, this is a serious mistake. The ideal is to run a good jet of serum or make several inhalations of sprayed serum.
Cleaning when there is no
Another common mistake, especially in new parents, is to wash when there is no nasal congestion. It is advisable to do it when they have great discomfort, preferably before taking it.
Doing nasal washes to children with coagulation problems is another very common mistake. This will only make it easier for the nose to bleed and therefore it is better to avoid these types of washings, according to the portal Children’s Guide.
Nasal washes to an infant
For many, it is easier to do a nasal wash when the baby is sitting, but ideally when he is lying on the bed or comfortable surface, because it will be easier to support the head. That way you will avoid damaging their nostrils.
Not all children like to have their nose washed, so if you see that it is uncomfortable for them, it is better to stop. It may be that your pits are irritated or you are not applying it correctly.

Speaking after Nikki Haley’s announcement, President Donald Trump told White House reporters that he was to choose between a handful of people for the position, and that he would prefer a female candidate to take on the role.
Here are the four reported frontrunners in the race for the post critical to the representation of the United States on the international arena:
According to The Daily Caller, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert a former Fox News anchor, is a leading contender to replace Nikki Haley as US Envoy to the United Nations by the end of the year.
A number of US media outlets, however, suggest that she might face obstacles during a Senate confirmation process given her lack of diplomatic experience.
The president reportedly met with Nauert on Monday, although it remains unclear whether the two discussed the potential job promotion.
President Trump is also looking closely at another female candidate to replace the outgoing Haley, US Ambassador to France and Monaco Jamie McCourt.
She was previously a co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, and, according to her biography, became the highest-ranking woman in Major League Baseball.
In late October, Bloomberg cited three insiders as saying that President Trump had scheduled a meeting with McCourt at the White House to discuss the continuing search for a UN envoy.
The third female candidate to potentially fill Haley’s shoes is reported to be US Ambassador to Canada Kelly Knight Craft.
By a twist of fate, Craft, who was described as a major Republican donor, was nominated as an alternate delegate to the United Nations by President George W. Bush in 2007, where she mainly concentrated on US engagement in Africa.
After being appointed as Director of Communications and Public Diplomacy for the UN in 2011, Grenell was the longest serving US spokesman at the United Nations, having advised four different US ambassadors until 2008.
He ran communications on such issues as the war on terror, North Korea and Iran’s nuclear programs, global peacekeeping operations, etc.
In mid-October, Grenell, who was confirmed as ambassador to Germany in April 2018, reportedly met with officials at the White House to discuss the new job at the UN.

When Meagan’s in-laws suggested they look into medical marijuana, she recoiled. “This is a federally illegal drug we are talking about,” she recalls thinking. But she did her own research. A good deal of anecdotal evidence shows that high-CBD strains of cannabis can have a strong antiseizure effect. The medical literature, though scant, goes back surprisingly far. In 1843 a British doctor named William O’Shaughnessy published an article detailing how cannabis oil had arrested an infant’s relentless convulsions.
Hemp also contains fatty acids which have been known to be great for the body. Unlike its marijuana counterpart, hemp contains high quantities of CBD and low volumes of THC for which its grown. While marijuana is illegal to consume in many states, hemp is slowly becoming more popular and more states are legalizing the uses of hemp oil for its citizens.
Despite the fact that marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, companies like HempMedsPx claim their CBD products are legal in all 50 states. According to a legal opinion written by Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s attorney and submitted to the New Republic, “HempMedsPx’s CBD hemp oil, containing naturally occurring CBD and miniscule amount of THC, is exempted from the definition of marijuana, is not a controlled substance, complies with the Controlled Substances Act, and is legal on the federal level.” The opinion is based in large part on a 2004 court ruling which allowed the importation of hemp food products derived from the mature stalks of cannabis plants.
A geneticist, Kane studies cannabis from a unique perspective—he probes its DNA. He’s an affable, outdoorsy guy with a bright face and eyes that wander and dart inquisitively when he talks. He has studied chocolate and for many years the sunflower, eventually mapping its genome, a sequence of more than three and a half billion nucleotides. Now he’s moved on to marijuana. Though its sequence is much shorter, roughly 800 million nucleotides, he considers it a far more intriguing plant.
Look for brands who source their cannabinoids from organic-certified, hemp-grown farms in pristine regions of Europe. “The German regulatory system is strict and enforced, providing confidence in the superiority of their harvest, processes, and extraction quality,” adds Moriarity. Organic hemp grown in Europe must also adhere to EU’s strict organic standards, which are stricter than in the U.S. and highly audited. Also, look for ingredients that are certified organic and wildcrafted.
The formulation, however, offers optimized delivery via mucosal membrane permeability in tandem with precision production/formulation methods. Her company, HERBOLOGIE, reduces the particle size of the cannabinoids and immerses them in a matrix of exclusively natural ingredients that work synergistically to enhance absorption through oral membranes. When cannabinoids are transported through membranes and directly into the bloodstream, the phytonutrients are delivered more quickly, and crucially, avoiding first-pass degradation in the liver.
Hello. I have stage 4 thyroid, secondary lymphoma..And many other health issues.I use 50mg of cbd vapor oil. 5 drops with each use. Total equals 250mg, about hits per dose, three times a day. I'm also on subsys, which is fentanyl. Idk about anyone but myself, but it's helped me with pain, with sleep, and in general my moods. So I dint have anything negative to say. I just hope that with time, proper diet, low dose chemo, and some other herbal usage, that I can shirk some of the cancer eating at my body... Thanks and good luck to you all.
What is clear though, is that with research on CBD and cannabis showing indisputably positive results, legalization has been picking up pace around the globe. And with CBD hemp oil already legal throughout much of the US, Australia and the EU, millions of people are already experiencing the benefits of CBD, with numbers only increasing exponentially.
As a representative with 2 companies that have CBD on the market and as a person with intractable pain and multple painful problems wirth my spine I can say that cbd does not work for everyone. It does nothing for me or for my mil who has a cancer like growth impeding her ability to swallow and has undergone radiation to shrink it. Everyone has a chemistry that’s personal to them for some it helps but for many it does not. With that in mind it’s a 50/50 chance of it helping and until you come out your pocket you’ll never know. Buyer beware.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis. It was discovered in 1940 and initially thought not to be pharmaceutically active. It is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in hemp plants, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract. As of 2018 in the United States, Food and Drug Administration approval of cannabidiol as a prescription drug called Epidiolex for medical uses has been limited to two rare forms of childhood epilepsy.
Correct Answer: Ingestible CBD oil should be comprised of coconut MCT oil and full spectrum hemp extract (the part that contains the actual CBD). It’s important that the carrier oil contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT), like coconut oil, because it is easier for the body to digest. Remember that cannabinoids are best delivered to the body in either fat or alcohol as a carrier.
Since then several other so-called endocannabinoids and their receptors have been discovered. Scientists have come to recognize that endocannabinoids interact with a specific neurological network—much the way that endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine do. Exercise, Mechoulam notes, has been shown to elevate endocannabinoid levels in the brain, and “this probably accounts for what jogging enthusiasts call runner’s high.” These compounds, he explains, apparently play an important role in such basic functions as memory, balance, movement, immune health, and neuroprotection.
