Aris “AvoidingThePuddle” has been busy playing the highly acclaimed FromSoftware game Elden Ring, and his viewers can’t get enough of him dying over and over in-game. The fight game master dives into playing the souls-borne category a lot and has played the entire Dark Souls series on his stream.
During a recent stream, he received a rather rude message from a viewer in his chat where the viewer took a diss against the streamer’s gameplay style. Known for his blunt and on-point responses, the streamer reiterated what the viewer said and went on to roast the viewer over his opinion by saying:
“I am new here. I thought you people who stream were good at games. Hey, the stream is full dude. Sorry, I don’t know how you got in or maybe someone left the backdoor open but I already have enough fans.”

The streamer had been live for around three hours, playing Elden Ring. He was progressing through the southern part of the opening biome Limgrave and was trying to clear out a castle called Castle Morne.
The final boss of the castle is known for being very aggressive and difficult. The streamer struggled with boss "Leonine Misbegotten" but did not seem too frustrated by it.
After multiple failed attempts to clear out the challenging boss, a viewer in his Twitch chat commented on how bad his gameplay style was and mentioned how streamers should be good at playing games.
Continuing to roast the viewer about his opinion in the form of a message in the Twitch chat, Aris went on to say:
“Not interested in any new ones. I am sure you got this from other streams you went into. You’re probably here because another stream was like, wow, this guy is a b**ch, get em out of here.”
The streamer said that the same thing would happen on his stream too. He went harder on the viewer and started to roast them by mentioning:
“Listen man, same thing here. Sorry. I’d like to give you something different than you’re used to hearing like ‘hey welcome in, you don't stink like s**t, you are not a c**k s**ker’. But, you’re just gonna get it again.”
He concluded his minute-long rant by hilariously saying:
“Different stream, same reaction. Anyway, take that guy outside and b*ttf**k him again.”
The streamer went on to defeat the boss after the hilarious interaction. It took a couple more tries, after which he successfully defeated the boss. He ended his stream an hour later and called the day after finishing one of the side questlines.
Fans react to Aris’ hilarious welcome message for a rude viewer in the chat
Viewers in the streamer’s Twitch chat laughed at the incident when Aris went hard on the viewer and called them out for it.
Fans and audiences on Reddit mentioned how Aris is one of the few streamers that makes them laugh every time they watch his clip.
AvoidingThePuddle or ATP is a well-known internet personality who regularly streams on Twitch. He is known for his fighting gameplay, where he mainly played games like Tekken and Soul Calibur. He became the world champion for the Soul Calibur II World Game Cup 2004.

The Trump Administration held a flurry of infrastructure related meetings last week. Lawmakers are still waiting for more details on the $1 trillion infrastructure plan that Trump touted during the campaign. There is uncertainty as to how much actual funding will be allocated to the infrastructure plan, and the President has questioned the role of public-private partnerships (P3s) in his plan, which is a shift from previous announcements . In all likelihood, the Administration’s proposal will include a mix of of P3s and state funding sources since it is not clear that Republicans will be supportive of a $1 trillion federal funding plan.The tax reform effort is expected to occupy Congress for the rest of this year and it is highly unlikely that we will see proposed infrastructure legislation by the end of the year.

When we introduced and first posted about the still very new supplement brand Unbreakable Gainz, we mentioned that despite being a newcomer, it was already looking ahead. The company revealed it had more products planned for categories equally saturated and competitive as its first release, Unbreakable Gainz Pre-Workout, including an amino, protein powder, and creatine.
This week we’ve got the first look at one of those upcoming supplements, as just one month after launching its original pre-workout, it has previewed its protein powder ‘100% Whey Protein’. As exciting as the first look at the product is, it doesn’t confirm too many details. We know it’s whey-based, like most protein powders, has no artificial colors or flavors, and a total of 27 servings per tub.
The only other piece of information Unbreakable Gainz preview gives us is that 100% Whey Protein will have a traditional flavor when it eventually arrives with a tried and true ‘Chocolate’. The only timeframe we have on roughly when this one is due to launch is ‘soon’, although knowing how new the brand is, and how fast it can move, that ‘soon’ is probably right around the corner.

According to reports from Washington, the Trump administration has delayed ruling on whether to eliminate also the temporary protected status of more than 57,000 Hondurans.

Singapore: Gold gained for a fourth session on Tuesday, edging closer to a five-week high, as weak US economic data boosted views the Federal Reserve would maintain its stimulus measures, burnishing the metal's appeal as an inflation-hedge.
The Fed begins a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday in which it is widely expected to confirm it will continue buying bonds at an USD 85 billion monthly pace.
Gold prices have fallen nearly 20 percent this year on fears the Fed could begin tapering its stimulus programme, but a budget battle in Washington and a string of weak economic data have raised questions over whether the bank would scale back, giving bullion a boost.
"In line with market expectations, we think the Fed will continue with quantitative easing," said Songwut Apirakkhit, managing director of Globlex Holding Management in Bangkok.
"However, we think the expectations have already been priced in and gold is due for a correction," he said. He still expects gold to end the year around the current levels.
Spot gold had edged up 0.3 percent to USD 1,355.51 an ounce by 0441 GMT. It has gained about 8 percent since marking a three-month low on October 15.
The metal earlier hit a session high of USD 1,360.06, not far from its five-week peak of USD 1,361.60 touched on Monday.
US manufacturing output barely rose in September and contracts to buy previously owned homes recorded their largest drop in nearly 3-1/2 years, the latest signs the economy's momentum ebbed as the third quarter ended.
Many economists believe the Fed could push tapering to early next year.
Though a prolonged period of easy money could support gold, physical demand could take a hit due to the higher prices. Demand in Asia has remained subdued for a while.
"We continue to view gold as precariously placed while physical demand for the metal remains soft," ANZ analysts said in a note.
"We viewed the metal as overbought above USD 1,340 on the back of weak demand from China and continued ETF selling."
Outflows from gold-backed exchange traded funds have continued, weighing on investor sentiment.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 24): 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) said it is confident that the lawful authorities will thoroughly investigate and take the appropriate action under the law in the case of a former PetroSaudi International (PSI) staff who was alleged to have leaked information connected to PSI’s dealings with 1MDB.
“As stated previously, 1MDB pledges its full co-operation with the lawful authorities in their ongoing investigations on this matter,” 1MDB said in a statement today.
It also noted that press reports on the arrest of the former PSI staff today was about attempted blackmail and extortion in relation to proprietary email information, and that initial probes showed that some of the leaked emails were tampered with.
PSI’s former IT executive Xavier Justo was arrested at his home in Thailand by the crime suppression division of the Royal Thai Police yesterday, with charges of attempted blackmail and extortion against PSI.
News emerged late yesterday highlighting Justo’s arrest by Thai police as numerous computers, hard drives and other evidence were seized pursuant to a court ordered search warrant.
PSI is a partner of 1MDB, which has racked up debts of RM42 billion in six years of operation, and is now being restructured into three companies as part of a rationalisation effort to get rid of its debts.
In a statement earlier today, the Saudi-based oil and gas company said it was mulling whether to pursue further legal action in other jurisdictions amid ongoing investigation, whilst giving its full cooperation to the authorities in Thailand.
“We are relieved that Mr Justo will now face justice through the courts. We have been the victims of a regrettable crime that has unfortunately been politicised in Malaysia.
“We are happy that the courts will now address this matter, and we apologise to the Malaysian people for the harm caused to them,” a spokesperson for PetroSaudi had said.
It was previously reported that whistle-blower site Sarawak Report claimed early last month that the entire 1MDB-PSI joint venture was initiated by businessman Low Taek Jho and his team on Sept 8, 2009, less than a month before the deal was signed.
DAP lawmaker Tony Pua had said that PSI created the shell company 1MDB-PetroSaudi from scratch on Sept 18, 2009, just 10 days before its subsidiary received US$1 billion from 1MDB.
Four days later, on Sept 29, 1MDB bought 40% of new shares in 1MDB-PetroSaudi and injected RM1 billion cash into the entity. The next day, US$700 million was taken out of 1MDB-PetroSaudi and given to PSI.

Swedavia Swedish Airports presents the world's first biogas-fueled snow sweeper
2014-10-15, kl. 14:03
For the first time Swedish airports will be using climate-friendly biogas-fueled snow removal vehicles Swedavia will start testing the new biogas-powered machines this Winter season. Swedavia, which operates and develops Sweden's top ten airports, aims to achieve the goal of zero emissions of fossil carbon dioxide in its own operations during 2020.
For the first time Swedish airports will be using climate-friendly biogas-fueled snow removal vehicles Swedavia will start testing the new biogas-powered machines this Winter season.
Swedavia, which operates and develops Sweden's top ten airports, aims to achieve the goal of zero emissions of fossil carbon dioxide in its own operations during 2020. Since 2005, Swedavia reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 69 percent to 3,800 tonnes in 2013.
It is a crucial step to achieve the goal fully when the new vehicles adapt to renewable biogas. By 2016 Swedavia invests around 200 million SEK in the new vehicles. The focus is both economically and environmentally sustainable. In addition to carbon reduction, it involves a reduction in fuel costs and a standardization of the vehicles fleet with lower maintenance costs. The development work is done in conjunction with vehicle manufacturers Aebi Schmidt and Volvo. The rest of Swedavia’s vehicle fleet has already largely been replaced by electronical vehicles.
- The vast majority of our remaining fossil carbon emissions are eliminated, and at the same time our operation is more effective. We are actively developing new sustainable technologies. As a state owned company, it is also our responsibility to lead the development in the field forward, says Torborg Chetkovich, CEO of Swedavia.
When plowing the runways at Stockholm Arlanda Airport up to ten vehicles are running in formation. They plow, sweep and inflate the 2500-3500 meters long runways clean in about eight minutes. The new vehicles, which are more than 15 meters long and with plows weighing nearly 30 tons, will plow, sweep and then blow away the remaining snow at a speed of 130 meters per second. When ten vehicles are used simultaneously they consume 400 liters of fuel per hour. Biogas will in the short term reduce vehicle emissions by 70 percent with the current involvement of diesel. Swedavia´s goal is that diesel involvement should be changed into renewable diesel by 2020. That means zero emissions of fossil carbon dioxide for the entire company.
The two motors of the vehicle, one front and one rear, have separate systems for the biogas. The front engine drives the vehicle while the rear operates a rotating roller brush and blow unit fans. Through an advanced direct injection engines can be operated entirely by snow removal on methane gas.
Swedavia has so far ordered 29 new snow sweepers. 8 will be delivered already during this Winter.

President Obama is not known for making rash decisions, but the American public would still like him to seek a second opinion before taking action against Syria. According to a poll published Friday by NBC News, 80 percent of Americans surveyed think Obama should get congressional approval before making any major military moves. Just one day ago, 26 members of Congress received a briefing from White House national-security advisers that linked Bashar al-Assad's regime to a chemical attack on Syrian civilians. Aside from the support of France, Obama currently seems to stand alone in his mission to strike back against Assad for crossing his "red line." The British Parliament has voted against military intervention.
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW


Peugeot’s two most recent SUVs, the 3008 and 5008, have proved themselves strong contenders on the UK marketplace. Now, to keep it up-to-date with its siblings, the French firm is preparing a total overhaul its baby SUV, the 2008. The new car will probably be revealed at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show in September, with sales starting the following year.
These latest spy shots show a heavily-camouflaged 2008 mule undergoing winter testing. It seems it will remain relatively faithful to the design detailed by our exclusive image, with long daytime running lights running down either side of the SUV’s bumper, high-mounted headlights and a large grille.
The new Peugeot 2008 will be based on all-new underpinnings, developed in tandem between PSA and its Chinese partner, DongFeng. Called CMP (Compact Modular Platform), the new architecture is specifically designed for smaller cars and will likely be shared with the upcoming Peugeot 208.
The new 2008 SUV should be slightly longer but usefully lighter than the outgoing model; the CMP chassis weighs around 40kg less than the ageing PF1 set-up that underpins the current 208 and 2008 line-ups.
Peugeot has been working hard to nurture consistency and sophistication in its designs. So, we expect the next 2008 will have lots in common with the new 208, while our spy shots and exclusive concept image previews how it will evolve the 3008’s looks, borrowing its “three-bar” tail-light design.
Expect big changes in the cabin, with a hike in material quality and a totally redesigned dashboard featuring the latest version of Peugeot’s i-Cockpit instrument panel. These may well extend to a fully-digital display across the range, particularly in regions such as the UK, where Peugeot is pitching itself as a manufacturer at the “upper end of mainstream.”
The engine line-up will be based around evolutions of the current 1.2-litre PureTech petrol motor, with power outputs ranging from around 85bhp up to 130bhp. The 2008 will also get PSA’s new generation of 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesels. An eight-speed automatic box should be offered on high-end variants, alongside a standard-issue six-speed manual.
The 2008 will continue to be a road-focused SUV, too. The CMP platform is designed to be front-wheel drive only, regardless of powertrain. Our spy shots follow these expectations; the test-mule in the images doesn’t seem to have a rear differential, nor the means to support one.
Further down the line, probably in time for the next 2008’s mid-life facelift, we can expect 48V mild-hybrid powertrains to appear. PSA announced earlier this year that it’s working with a company called Punch Powertrain on a hybrid set-up – which is based on a dual-clutch gearbox and a 48-volt electric motor – and that it will introduce the technology on products from 2022.
In the meantime, Peugeot will also be able to offer the 2008 as a zero-emissions rival to the Hyundai Kona Electric. Speaking to Auto Express earlier this year, boss Jean-Philippe Imparato revealed he planned to offer pure-electric choices at the lower end of his range. “The rhythm of the transition (towards hybrids and EVs) will not be the same across the regions,” he said.
“The guys in Paris will be electric. The guys who do 100,000 miles per year will be diesel, and the average guy will be petrol. You will buy your Peugeot and you will choose your powertrain.”
The pure-electric 2008 should offer a 280-mile range, and arrive soon after the conventionally powered editions. PSA has promised it will deliver four EVs on CMP by 2021 – likely to be the 2008 and 208, plus the DS 3 and DS 3 Crossback.
What the new Peugeot 2008 has to beat
The car that started the small SUV invasion gets an all-new generation in 2019, and the next Juke will introduce Renault–Nissan’s latest CMF-B platform. Expect a more practical interior with upgraded infotainment and quality – but as our exclusive image previews, the styling will stay divisive.
Due: Late 2019
Recent spy shots of a test mule (above) showed how the next generation of Renault’s Captur is going to grow up when it arrives at the end of 2019. The new model is longer and wider than the current car, as Renault tries to deliver more family-car practicality from its baby SUV.
Due: Late 2019
Skoda’s Vision X concept (above) is a good preview of the brand’s forthcoming small SUV, which is likely to be called Anuq. The newcomer will be large for the class, because it’s based on a longer version of the VW Group’s MBQ A0 platform. Hybrid technology could feature, too.
The T-Cross will have been on sale for about a year before the next 2008 arrives, because the ‘Polo SUV’ will make its debut before the end of 2018. It’ll be more of an SUV than its sister car, the SEAT Arona, riding higher and featuring slightly inflated dimensions to boost practicality.
Which new small SUV are you looking forward to seeing? Let us know in the comments below…

Imgur Data Breach exposed almost 1.7 Million Users sensitive Emails and Passwords that was occurred in 2014.
Imgur is an online image sharing community which has 150 Million total users, 6 Billion page views per month, 1.5 Million Images uploading daily by Imgur visitors.
This potential Imgur Data Breach was reported by a Web security Expert Troy hunt who is actively running Data Breach services called Have I Been Pwned.
Imgur Data Breach Investigation
After his Incident Report passed to Imgur’s Chief Operating Officer via Email. Further investigation revealed, and Imgur team finally confirmed that approximately 1.7 million Imgur user accounts were compromised in 2014.
Since Imgur has never asked for real names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally-identifying information (“PII”), so the information that was compromised did NOT include such PII.
At that time Imgur used an older hashing algorithm that leads to hackers performing Brute force attack against the Imgur Website.
Troyhunt said, “I disclosed this incident to Imgur late in the day in the midst of the US Thanksgiving holidays,” said Hunt. “That they could pick this up immediately, protect impacted accounts, notify individuals and prepare public statements in less than 24 hours is absolutely exemplary.”
Imgur Started notifying to impacted users via their registered email address, and they urged to update their passwords.
According to Imgur, we are still actively investigating the intrusion; we wanted to inform you as quickly as possible as to what we know and what we are doing in response. But Imgur said that site security had improved since the breach.

The countdown to the start of the 2023 winter sales throughout Tuscany has begun. The dates of the winter sales have already been confirmed. Once again the discounts beat the arrival of the Epiphany and many shops are already offering special promotions for customers who have loyalty cards.
The start of the winter sales in Florence and Tuscany is January 5. This is also true for many regions of Italy like Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, and Sardinia. The discounts started early in Basilicata and Sicily where bargains appeared in shop windows as early as January 2, and in Valle d’Aosta on January 3. In all other regions including Tuscany sales begin on the eve of the Epiphany holiday or “La Befana.”
In Italian folklore, the Befana is an old witch who comes after Christmas on the night before the Epiphany and delivers more gifts. According to legend the Magi stopped to ask the Befana directions to find infant Jesus and then asked her to join them. Usually, the night before the Epiphany kids leaves their shoes next to the doors or hang up a stocking and wake up with many treats and goodies.
In Tuscany, discounts could last in stores a maximum of 60 days provided that there is still stock left in the shops. Generally after the first few weeks of promotions, merchandise is discounted further and are gradually replaced for the spring-summer collection.
There is expected to be an increase in sales this year of 5-10%. Predictions claim that during these discounts the average person will spend €133 compared to last year’s €119 and that 6 out of 10 people will take advantage of the discounts.
There are expected to be few purchases of down jackets and coats given the above average temperatures and more acquisitions of capes, ponchos, scarves, sneakers, and knitwear. Shops are not obliged to have customers try on or return clothing but all must accept credit card purchases.
The Regional Council of Tuscany has yet to disclose the start of the 2023 summer discounts. If the usual dates are used, then summer discounts should begin on July 1 or 2. But these dates still have to be confirmed by the Regional Council. (Michela Tambasco)

This week marks the tip-off of the Battle 4 Atlantis, an in-season college basketball tournament that will feature 8 of the nation’s top programs. Among the teams will be Billy Donovan’s Florida Gators, who have a special pair of sneakers for the occasion.
Assistant Coach Rashon Burno treated us to an early look at the team’s latest Nike KD 7 PE, which brings orange mesh and metallic royal Hyperposite together, with white Swoosh branding on the forefoot and heel. Last week, Burno showed us a white-based colorway.
Is this Gators PE one of the best KD 7 colorways we’ve seen yet?

Apple pushes out iOS 5.1.1 update revision for GSM iPhone 4Apple on Friday released a second version of iOS 5.1.1 designed for the GSM iPhone 4, though it failed to comment on what changes had been made to the mobile operating system or why it only affects one specific iPhone model.
As noted in a tweet by iPhone hacker iH8sn0w, build number 9B208 is an iPhone 4 (GSM)-only version of iOS 5.1.1 that was quietly pushed out without explanation after reportedly being compiled on Thursday morning, reports The Next Web.
The original iOS 5.1.1 update was released on May 7 and brought various improvements including fixes for HDR photo and AirPlay video bugs.
iPhone 4 owners on GSM networks can download the over-the-air update via iPhone's Software Update found in the settings menu or by physically connecting the handset to iTunes.
Earlier today, the latest untethered Absinthe v2.0 jailbreak was made available, though it is unlikely that the iOS re-release is somehow related.

21/22 autumn/winter men’s sports item advocate minimalism and the supremacy of functional details, the ultimate simplicity, the pursuit is to make the product to reach the depth and quality of the complexity of excavating,
reflecting the “less is more” quality experience. This season’s products are mainly affected by the rapid deterioration of the climate,While saving social resources, consumers are encouraged to continue to support the consumption concept of sustainable development. Item is mainly to explore the outdoor style in the environment of the improved design, cross-season wear is the focus. At the same time, the fabric performance needs to be improved, which can not only adapt to the highly adaptable tailoring, but also improve the recyclable value of the item after use.Additional, the layer matching of the item is also the design gist of autumn winter outdoors.
Extreme changes of the environment make functional items more and more important. Protective parkas are designed to respond to climatic conditions with highly adaptable details. Woven wear resistant, temperature-controlled fabrics, extra windbreaks and built-in wrist guards are also needed to inject protective elements for it.
Urban minimalist down jacket
Discard quilting and three-dimensional pleating techniques commonly used in down jackets, and create a volume sense shape of down jackets through the details of tight seams. And hightlight the minimalism through neutral colors and brand identity techniques. It is the warm item of autumn and winter.
The design that wears on both sides accords with consumer’s consumptive idea that pursues more less and finer. Two – wear clothing in the use of inside and outside fabrics can extend the service life of clothing.Design with different pattern style is adopted on two sides of the proposal, and completely different fabrics can let consumer have more consumptive desire of “one garment wears more” .
Nylon half-diagonal pullover
Pullovers are a great warm item for winter training and outdoor sports, with diagonal zippers and pockets designed to appeal to a younger market. It is suggested to use laser cutting mesh cloth to make a breathable surfaceand add contrast whorl at collar and cuffs. In the future, it will be more sports, leisure and commuting development trend.
Close-skin inlay undershirt
Fabric breathability and inlay design are very important in men’s sports clothing items, which can be used as a single item for fitness training, but also as a layer matching for outdoor sports.In addition, in the autumn and winter of 21/22, the undershirt becomes more and more avant garde and has a trend of daily commuting.
One piece knit shorts
Fixed inside and outside two pieces items can better ensure the comfort of wearers when exercise. In addition, the shorts need to be cut a little higher than the daily level, so that the athletes can experience just the right sense of coverage, and can ensure that the shorts keep the original in the high intensity of the exercise .
Nylon ankle banded pants
The ankle banded pants of 21/22 autumn winter is more the unity of color and fabrics, at most adding the contrast edge of a bit small area in the side seam of pants leg in order to reflect the minimalist style of dress whole. It is recommended to use recycled nylon fabric, which is more inclined to the outdoor style in autumn and winter.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:1-14
1 “And now, Israel, listen carefully to these decrees and regulations that I am about to teach you. Obey them so that you may live, so you may enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you.
3 “You saw for yourself what the Lord did to you at Baal-peor. There the Lord your God destroyed everyone who had worshiped Baal, the god of Peor. 4 But all of you who were faithful to the Lord your God are still alive today—every one of you.
5 “Look, I now teach you these decrees and regulations just as the Lord my God commanded me, so that you may obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy. 6 Obey them completely, and you will display your wisdom and intelligence among the surrounding nations. When they hear all these decrees, they will exclaim, ‘How wise and prudent are the people of this great nation!’ 7 For what great nation has a god as near to them as the Lord our God is near to us whenever we call on him? 8 And what great nation has decrees and regulations as righteous and fair as this body of instructions that I am giving you today?
9 “But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren. 10 Never forget the day when you stood before the Lord your God at Mount Sinai, where he told me, ‘Summon the people before me, and I will personally instruct them. Then they will learn to fear me as long as they live, and they will teach their children to fear me also.’
11 “You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while flames from the mountain shot into the sky. The mountain was shrouded in black clouds and deep darkness. 12 And the Lord spoke to you from the heart of the fire. You heard the sound of his words but didn’t see his form; there was only a voice. 13 He proclaimed his covenant—the Ten Commandments—which he commanded you to keep, and which he wrote on two stone tablets. 14 It was at that time that the Lord commanded me to teach you his decrees and regulations so you would obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy.

Prairie Central enters postseason aware of its surroundings
FAIRBURY — There are three seasons wrapped up in one football campaign — preseason, regular season and postseason. Prairie Central worked hard in the preseason to prepare for the regular season. The Hawks did well as they went 9-0.
This allowed PC to compete in the postseason, which truly began once the Hawks won their sixth game, and actually began moments after defeating Central Catholic last Friday night.
As the postseason arrived, so did new goals, addition to existing goals and the expectations of working harder because this is a one-and-done situation. For prairie Central, it starts Friday night at Lewis Field as the Hawks meet Paxton-Buckley-Loda in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs.
“The message to our team this week is that this is a new season,” said PC head coach Andrew Quain. “You have the regular season and you have the postseason. Our win against PBL does nothing to help us win this game. We have to almost ignore that game.
“I told the kids that that Week 6 game, we're going to treat that like it happened last season — trying to learn from some of the stuff that they did but not putting all of our eggs in one basket. That's the mindset that's important.”
When these two teams first met, they were both 5-0 and looking to grab hold of Illini Prairie Conference lead. The Hawks (9-0) won 51-8 at PBL and reeled off three more wins. The Panthers went into a bit of a tailspin, losing its last three games, as well to enter the postseason at 5-4.
Quain had his team looking at that game as a business trip. It was also something of a playoff atmosphere because of the magnitude of it at that time.
Things have changed since Week 6, especially for the Panthers as they hope to snap their losing streak. There will be challenges the Hawks are facing in an effort to avoid getting upset.
When looking at the PBL offense, Quain said there are two key players of concern — Kayden Snelling and Robert Boyd-Meents. Quain said it looks like Snelling has been more of the offense that in Week 6.
“That seems like something they tried to implement more since we played them, is trying to get him the ball more in the passing game,” Quain said. “We're going to have to know where 17 (Snelling) is and we have to tackle 33 (Boyd-Meents) low, like we did in Week 6.”
The Panthers seem to have made adjustments on offense since the first meeting, something that defensive coordinator Dan Groce noticed.
“Coach Groce breaks down all their plays, he was kind of hopeful he could use his plays that he had broken down in Week 6,” Quain said. “He started going through the last couple games and they've run 70 new plays or formation combinations. They keep adding stuff offensively.
“It's all within the same kind of system, … they've adapted and tried to get better. I hope that we've gotten better. It will be a good test.”
PBL is a run-first team with Boyd-Meents, who is a big back and just a sophomore.
“They want to run off tackle and they want to run traps,” Quain said. “They did that out of a lot of formations and a lot of people executing those blocks.”
Quain added that he believes he knows what to expect when the Panthers have the ball. It's when the Hawks have the ball that is intriguing.
“Defensively, I don't know,” Quain said. “If you beat a team, you score 51 points on a team, do you throw out your defensive game plan from last game and start from scratch, or do you try to tweak what you had and try to get better?”
“That's the dilemma we have trying to prepare for them — are we going to see what we saw in Week 6 or are we going to see something completely different and new? There's a lot of unknowns in that regard.”
He pointed out that the base defense for PBL requires a different blocking scheme, and his concern is that the Prairie Central line will need to adjust on the fly.
“This week, it's so important for us to communicate their blitzes because that is their strength, blitzing a lot,” Quain said.
Although the focus right now is on PBL, Quain said he did allow for a little fun to be had before practicing in earnest for the Panthers.
“I think it's natural to look ahead, we all want to look ahead, it's fun to look ahead. It's fun to think about playing in Champaign,” Quain said, noting that the Hawks looked over the brackets and guessed on who would be next up, how things might shake out.
“We did that, and then we said that's done. Your parents can talk about that, your friends can talk about that but now our focus is on PBL. We will continue to look at the big picture, but by Monday, we're focused in on our next opponent. If you don't win, you go home. I think the kids know what's on the line for them. I think they will be ready to go.”
Kickoff for Prairie Central-PBL is 7 p.m. Friday. The winner will face the winner of the Roxana-at-Hillsboro contest in the second round. The Hawks will travel to Roxana should the Shells win. If Hillsboro wins, Prairie Central will play the Hilltoppers at Lewis Field.

Chapter 2: BOOKS
The envelopes had been typed, but the messages on the post-it notes inside had been printed by hand.
“You have been accepted – bite me! See you Wednesday night at the old school library, 8 PM. TFM.” So read the note stuck to the paperback copy of Dracula received by Betty.
“’Twould be monstrous if you missed it!” read Keith’s note, stuck to a copy of Frankenstein.
“In two minds about attending? Do be/don’t be. Or I’ll be forced to drink my magic potion and come after you!” read the message attached to the copy of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde received by Vic.
“On Wednesday night, go on – be a devil.” Stevie peeled off the note and smiled when she saw the title of the book she had been sent: The Exorcist. She’d always wanted to read it, but her mother had said no. Well, now she had an excuse – it was required reading!
“What’s this?” grumbled Debbie as she tore open the envelope and unwrapped the folded plastic sheet. What was this – a shower curtain? Stupid.
Something fell out and hit the floor. She bent to pick it up, it being a short book that fell open at chapter one: “Norman Bates heard the noise and a shock went through him.” She snapped the battered cover shut. “You have a date in Hell at the Bates Motel!” read the note. Above it, the book’s title stood out in slashed black letters: Psycho.
“Oh no,” muttered Debbie. “We gotta read stuff – just like a class!”
But in spite of her grumbling, Debbie was the first one there on Wednesday night. She had arrived at seven forty-five outside the old school library (which had been almost emptied several months ago) to find the door just slightly ajar. Should she go in … or wait for the others? Maybe there would be a special merit badge for the first one to go in and face the darkness alone. Maybe she would be appointed First Fear Leader.
Pressing her face to the cool glass of the window, Debbie saw nothing beyond. Glancing around, she saw nobody approaching. She should have made Stevie come with her instead of going to see her stupid grandmother. Okay, so she was in hospital – big deal – it wasn’t like she had anything fatal. And Debbie needed her. What kind of friend was Stevie? An unbelievably selfish one, that’s what!
Debbie put her hand on the cold door knob. All she had to do was push it and walk on in. They were clearly meant to – they’d been invited and the door was open. Some might consider it trespassing – she was on school property after hours, and if a security guard showed up, she might have a hard time explaining herself – but it wasn’t like breaking and entering; it wasn’t like she was planning to trash the place.
She pushed the door a smidge.
She wasn’t afraid of being caught in the act. Right now, she was more afraid of not being caught. “No, Officer, we never saw her again – disappeared without a trace – just like that.”
Debbie took her hand off the door knob and felt the cold thump of fear in her chest start to ease.
“Stop right there, young lady – police!”
Debbie screamed and jumped back from the door.
Laughing, Keith Bliss came bounding up the stairs and onto the balcony, his rugged profile the first thing Debbie saw as she turned around.
“You scared me!”
“Sorry. But I guess that’s the point of being here, isn’t it? Hi. I’m Keith.”
“Debbie Dawe. You gonna be a Fear Leader?”
“I don’t really know what it’s about. Just thought I’d come along and take a look-see.”
“Well, I hate to rain on your parade or anything, but I think it might be a class. You know, readin’ an’ stuff. The Scary Dude sent me a book.”
“I got Frankenstein. Slower than I thought it would be. More moody.”
Keith smiled. “About as boring as Wraith Tales by Laurence Salmon.”
“Never heard of it.”
“What book did he send you?”
Keith wrinkled his nose. “I prefer quiet violence.”
“You mean like … bein’ smothered?”
Keith chuckled, his beady eyes bright in the moonlight. “You’re funny.”
Behind them, somebody shrieked.
“OMG!” Debbie practically jumped into Keith’s arms.
“Is this the Fearless Vampire Killers’ Society’s annual meeting?” Betty asked cheerfully, taking the steps two at a time with muscular legs, her yellow dress hugging the leanness of her body. “Sorry if my scream scared you. I couldn’t resist.” Pretending to bay, she threw back her head, causing her short red-dyed hair to shimmer.
“Didn’t scare me,” said Debbie sulkily.
“We were talking books,” said Keith, his brown eyes meeting Betty’s blue ones.
While Debbie was quick to decide that Betty wasn’t beautiful (maybe attractive in a wacky I-got-personality kind of way, but not beautiful), Keith looked like he might disagree. Though kissing Keith (with his big banana nose) was an undertaking Debbie would only undertake with caution, Betty looked willing to cast caution to the wind, and it was perhaps only the arrival of Stevie and Vic (already deep in conversation, Debbie noted) that stopped them.
“We met at the gate, and it turned out we were going to the same place, so … here we are!” Stevie beamed.
“Isn’t that nice,” said Debbie.
Betty looked around. “I don’t see anyone else coming up the garden path, so … shall we?” Her hand was on the door knob and she was halfway into the room before Keith pulled the torch out of his backpack and clicked it on.
“Thanks.” Betty grabbed the torch and strode into the abandoned library.
As Keith started to follow, Debbie interposed herself between Stevie and Vic (who looked to Debbie like a straw-haired scarecrow with most of the stuffing knocked out of him and what was left stuffed into a wrinkled grey T-shirt and baggy pair of unfashionable jeans) and together they filed inside.
They made their way cautiously, though with the exception of some empty shelves, a blackboard, a scarred old reading table and some battered chairs scattered about, there was nothing to notice, and nothing to stand in their way.
There were no booby-traps, lethal spiders or kangaroo-sized rats. Within a couple of minutes, they had established the library was nothing more than a big musty room that had been shut up too long. Then the door slammed and a deep chuckle filled the chamber.
“As convicted killer Gary Gilmore said to the firing-squad on the morning of his execution, ‘Let’s do it!’”

Various smaller parties in the Dutch Second Chamber of Parliament dedicate attention to relations within the Kingdom in their draft 20232027 election programmes, varying from a few lines to two pages. A stronger Kingdom with more prosperity and equality are returning elements.
The ChristianUnion party election programme “New Connectedness” emphasized the deep bond within the Kingdom, a unique relationship that deserves more recognition and investments. Collaboration should be based on mutual involvement, solidarity and reciprocal respect to find good solutions for the specific social issues on the islands.
The need for an adequate social minimum in the Caribbean Netherlands was emphasised. People in Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba should have enough income by raising wages, increasing the income of social welfare recipients and pensioners. An unemployment benefits scheme needs to be introduced. Also important is to reduce the cost of living.
The ChristianUnion wants to invest in mutual trust in the relations with Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten and work towards equitable relations with these countries. This also requires attention to the wounds left by the colonial relationship and the history of slavery. A Kingdom Canon needs to be created together. The party finds it important to strengthen the democratic rule of law, combat the gambling mafia and stand strong together against human trafficking.
The Farmer Citizen Movement BBB in its draft election programme “Everyday BBBetter,” emphasised that despite the relative autonomous positions of the islands, there was a joint responsibility for the well-being of the people. “In our opinion, the Caribbean part of the Kingdom, just like the countryside in the Netherlands, deserves more attention. The islands are not merely a vacation destination for the Netherlands,” the BBB stated.
Entrepreneurship can play a key role in strengthening relations and investing in people’s well-being and prosperity. One of the ways to do this is by opening a front office for entrepreneurs to assist them in doing business. Another idea is to create a Customs unity for the entire Kingdom with similar Customs tariffs for all four countries.
Furthermore, in the opinion of the BBB, the democratic deficit within the Kingdom needs to be eliminated as soon as possible, the democracy and good governance needs to be strengthened by solid, independent media, a social minimum has to be implemented for Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba and the three public entities need to be reinforced.
The Volt party in its draft election programme “Future now, A story of European optimism” stated that the people of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba should have their own elected representatives in the Second Chamber. “Residents of the Caribbean Netherlands currently have no direct say in the Dutch Parliament; they depend on representatives of parties who in the Netherlands are willing to be spokespersons. Volt wants the direct representation of Caribbean Netherlands in Parliament included in the Constitution through guaranteed seats.”
Volt is also a proponent of increasing the efforts to protect the constitutional rights of all residents in the Kingdom. “That is why Volt wants to strengthen the social midfield in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom with (financial) support.” Volt too wants to see a social minimum implemented for Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba as soon as possible. The Caribbean Netherlands and the Netherlands together should draft an action plan that will further foster the equality and unity between the two parts.
There should be access to European union funding and related subsidy programmes for the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. “By working together between the countries, these funds can be used to give an impulse to social-economic and cultural development of the Dutch Caribbean, especially in the green and digital transition. We work together on a Kingdom level to combat the adverse effects of climate change in the Dutch Caribbean,” it was stated in the Volt programme.
The Forum for Democracy party FvD in its “Programme of Hope, Optimism and Recovery” said that it wants to maintain and strengthen the historic relation of the Netherlands with the six Dutch Caribbean islands. “Forum for Democracy is proud of our history and wants to keep the historic ties with our overseas territories.”
According to the FvD, the economic possibilities are broad, because of the strategic location of the islands, which opens the large markets in South America. “The Dutch Caribbean could become the Florida of the Netherlands.” In that relation, there would be zero tolerance for corruption, self-enrichment and abuse of power on the islands.
The BIJ1 party has an extended section about the Kingdom in its draft election programme under the heading “Radical equality and recovery in the Kingdom” with a long list of wishes and proposals with the objective of creating more equality, prosperity for all and a Kingdom free from poverty, racism and other forms of suppression.
“A new reality in which the after-effects of colonialism and slavery are broken down. A new form of collaboration with the six islands in which their interests come first. A new relation based on anti-colonialism and radical equality,” stated BIJ1. BIJ1 wants the Netherlands to restore the damage of the slavery past, and to give special attention for mental decolonisation. In restoring the “colonial damage,” BIJ1 wants to give the islands the power of self-determination, whereby all their debts annulled and the Netherlands “no longer dictates” how the islands are governed.
In the opinion of BIJ1, the Kingdom Charter has to be reformed with true equality being the point of departure of a new Charter. The Kingdom Council of Ministers is abolished and replaced by a new form of Kingdom-broad consultation.
Besides implementing a social minimum in Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba, there needs to be special attention for eradicating poverty in Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten, so everyone in the Kingdom has a dignified existence.

One of Hollywood's most iconic bachelors may have had a thing for Ellen DeGeneres back in the day.
In his first ever appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Tuesday, Warren Beatty opened up about his 25-year marriage to Annette Bening, but the host couldn't help but remind the award-winning actor he once had eyes for another lady — DeGeneres herself.
"I think when we met, when I first was aware of you was when you were working with Garry Shandling, and it was very impressive to me," Beatty recalled before being interrupted by laughs from the audience — as it turns out, the scene he recalled is a romantic one in which Ellen sleeps with the comedian on "The Larry Sanders Show."
"I was very impressed and I told Garry that, and we had a long talk about you," he said with more than a few chuckles.
But when prompted by Ellen about what exactly the pair discussed, Beatty got coy, telling the talkshow host they both said "good things."

South Island, New Zealand
Marlborough is the first district you'll encounter when disembarking on the South Island after the 3 hour ferry journey from Wellington. The ferry trip itself is regarded as one of the best tourist experiences in New Zealand, with the ships winding their way through the spectacular Marlborough and Queen Charlotte sounds to reach the picturesque port of Picton.
Marlborough Holidays Planner
In Picton you can enjoy a meal beside the historic port, or walk some of many spectacular trails which line the Queen Charlotte Sound. Tucked away between rolling green hills and the sea you'll find a variety of small friendly guest houses, farm-stays and B&Bs, or for a taste of authentic country New Zealand, stay in one of the high country farm estates in the area.
The Marlborough region is known for its world-class Sauvignon Blanc wineries, and you can base yourself in the town of Blenheim for tours of the historic vineyards and cellar doors. Farther up the Wairau Valley you'll find the forest clad foothills of the Richmond and St Arnaud ranges, perfect for day or overnight walking tours.

0. To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.
1. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who leadest Joseph like a flock! Thou who art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth
2. before E'phraim and Benjamin and Manas'seh! Stir up thy might, and come to save us!
3. Restore us, O God; let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
4. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry with thy people's prayers?
5. Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6. Thou dost make us the scorn of our neighbors; and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7. Restore us, O God of hosts; let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
8. Thou didst bring a vine out of Egypt; thou didst drive out the nations and plant it.
9. Thou didst clear the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land.
10. The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches;
11. it sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River.
12. Why then hast thou broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
13. The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it.
14. Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine,
15. the stock which thy right hand planted.
16. They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance!
17. But let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself!
18. Then we will never turn back from thee; give us life, and we will call on thy name!
19. Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! let thy face shine, that we may be saved!


The latest twist in the Brexit saga has taken another turn in the last few days in the run up to today´s 31st March residency deadline for the estimated 360,000 Britons who live in Spain.
From 1st January this year, UK Nationals are allowed to spend up to 90 days in a rolling 180-day period out of every 180 within the Schengen area for tourism or other specific purposes, such as business meetings, without needing a visa.
In addition British tourists are able to travel visa-free across the Schengen Area – meaning a tourist arriving in Spain, can also travel to other European countries without the need for a visa.
All foreign nationals intending to stay in Spain for longer than three months have always been obliged to register for residency – whatever their nationality.
The UK Embassy has issued a press statement seeking to clarify the situation for those that are visiting and those that are residing in Spain.
The British Ambassdor, Hugh Elliott said he did not want “people to be overly worried: “I’m aware that many second home owners are concerned about overstaying as we reach 31 March. The Spanish Government has been clear that it will take a pragmatic approach to anyone who is stuck in Spain due to circumstances beyond their control”.
However, he underlined that those who ” do not intend to become resident here in Spain and see the UK as their base” need to return to the UK ” as soon as they can.”
A Spanish Ministry of Inclusion spokesperson said that “the Spanish Government has no plans to deport British citizens who have made Spain their home” and that “the issue of citizens rights remains a major priority and the government is working to provide maximum legal certainty for British citizens resident in Spain”.
Any UK nationals and their family members who were lawfully resident in Spain before the end of the transition period, on 31 December 2020, have their rights protected by the Withdrawal Agreement, and “can continue to live, work, study and access benefits and services, such as healthcare, broadly as they did before the UK left the EU”.
The UK Embassy strongly recommends that British nationals in this situation apply for the new TIE residenccy card.
For British nationals who have arrived in Spain after the 31st December, the application process for residency is different and can be viewed here: http://extranjeros.inclusion.gob.es/es/InformacionInteres/InformacionProcedimientos/index.html

Paris Property Tax Increase, Yet Still Among the Lowest
28 September 2023
The news that there’s a Paris property tax increase on the way might seem concerning to owners. Especially as reports are quoting a rise of 62% – but is it as worrying as it seems? We take a look and find that property tax in Paris remains much lower compared to other cities.


The New York Times reports on an interview given by Li Fei, deputy director of the legislative affairs commission of the standing committee of the National People’s Congress, in which he says that, “a socialist China won’t follow Western election campaigns”:
Mr. Li told China Daily, an official English-language newspaper, that while some people wanted to expand direct elections, he believed that the priority was to improve on the so-called election system now in place. The Chinese system generally reinforces the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, which has governed the country in an authoritarian manner since 1949, when it won the civil war. Many Western scholars have said elections at local levels have not given voters true alternatives to the Communist Party.
Despite that, Chinese officials often say in public and in the Chinese news media that the country is moving toward democracy, implying that some form of a Western-style political system could take root here.
But there are times when an official states outright that people should not expect Western-style reforms in China. In March 2009, Wu Bangguo, chairman of the standing committee of the National People’s Congress, said China would never “copy” the systems of Western nations by adopting multiparty democracy.
Mr. Li’s interview with China Daily was the latest instance of such blunt talk, and it comes at a time of heightened tensions between China and the West. In particular, relations between China and the United States have hit a rough patch, with no sign that conflicts between the two will be resolved anytime soon. In recent weeks, Chinese leaders have vocally rejected demands by President Obama for China to revalue its currency, which White House officials and some economists say is undervalued, giving China an unfair advantage in world trade.
