Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will have more details revealed on a Twitch live stream that will take place on October 17 here.
Wishlist it on Steam here.


(F.Y.I. This was on an iBook G4 running Leopard.) I downloaded a trial version of PhoneView (I'm sorry, but I don't remember the version number - this was back in December.) Since PhoneView only allows you to "view" or backup the contents of your iPhone, I searched for an app to use as a gateway for saving files, specifically music, & I found iDownloader.
The process is basically the same as saving files to an app in iTunes: Connect your iPhone, open PhoneView, select iDownloader in the Apps section, & save the files in this location. PhoneView gives you the ability to make folders & iDownloader will list them in this manner. Once you're finished, update the media library in the settings section of iDownloader on your phone & all of your files/folders should be listed.
As far as I can read it, Akanthos is right on target to this tread in asking how to sync an iPhone with OS 10.5 using PhoneView and iDownloader. As someone else recently noted, the more "points" and "levels" the more arrogant the writer is. I'm just sick of reading all the wise *** remarks that don't help the questioner and instead just points them in another direction. And in this case, the question from Akanthos IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THIS THREAD. And now I'm sure Mr. Eckert will tell me that my comments here are not connected to this thread also.

I have made a slider on DesktopPane and it should influence my drawings on JPanel, everything set up on JApplet. I hope i didn't explained very confusing. :rolleyes:
My drawing consists of rectangle which have images on it's left and right side. When I move slider, rectangle should be shrinking and images moving with it to continue being right on it's left and right edge.
Do you have any idea, link or hint how to make this?

A Medical Image Clear Vision Technique for Soft Copy Reading
In this paper, we develop a medical image clear vision technique for soft copy reading. We first transform different type medical images into 10 bits data. Then, an adaptive enhancement method is proposed. Our method combines compressing the global dynamic range of the transformed image and an improved unsharp masking. The main contribution of this method is to design different feature extracting filters for different type medical images and preset some parameters for monitor quality assurance and quality control in PACS. Moreover, we make DICOM calibration for used monitor and decide the parameters. Experimental results show that the proposed technique can improve effectively the visual quality of image displayed in monitors.

The Zastava M59/66 PAP SKS rifle is identical in function and operation to the Soviet SKS in nearly every respect, except that the Yugoslavian SKS has the built-in grenade launcher spigot mounted at the front of the barrel to launch 22mm rifle grenades. The Yugo SKS M59/66 model was also fitted with an unusual bayonet mount which also doubled as the mount for the front sight and the folding grenade launcher sight. The original Soviet blade bayonet as standard to the SKS had to be replaced by a unique Yugoslav bayonet to accommodate the new mount placement.
Yugoslavian Zastava SKS M59/66 PAP Rifles
In 1959, after deciding to replace the bolt action M48 Mauser rifle, Yugoslavia acquired the rights to manufacture the Soviet SKS semi-automatic carbine under license. Nicknamed the “Papovka” it is derived from PAP, the abbreviation for poluautomatska puška, Serbian for “semi-automatic rifle”. The early 1959 Yugoslavian SKS rifles were identical to the Soviet ones including no chrome barrel which was introduced in the upgraded version in 1966. The Zastava M59/66 PAP SKS rifle is identical in function and operation to the Soviet SKS in nearly every respect, except that the Yugoslavian SKS has the built-in grenade launcher spigot mounted at the front of the barrel to launch 22mm rifle grenades. The Yugo SKS rifles were later replaced by the Zastava M70 rifles, the Yugoslavian AK47 variation.
This small stock of Yugoslavian Zastava SKS M59/66 PAP rifles is in very good to excellent condition and includes the special Yugoslav SKS bayonet.

“I wanted JEMMA to embody my personal style and sensibility. My personal style revolves around my love for old word classic elegance, that of style icons like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy brought into the modern day lifestyle and practicality.“
What did you find the most frustrating in handbags before you took on your own journey to create a practical, professional and elegant work bag?
“I was extremely frustrated that most fashionable handbags were never big enough to fit what I needed on a daily basis and the ones that were large enough were not attractive.”

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – In hopes of encouraging further development of riverfront land in the Quad Cities, state Rep. Mike Halpin, D-Rock Island, is introducing legislation that will add the Quad Cities to the current River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program.
“The Mississippi River has been a vital resource and economic hub that drives the Quad City economy,” Halpin said. “This program will vitally help our economy and provide much needed business incentives that will motivate companies to move their operations to the Illinois side of the Quad Cities.”
The River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program provides a variety of incentives and tax credits to businesses to revitalize distressed communities that are adjacent to Illinois rivers. The five existing zones are currently located in Rockford, Peoria, Aurora, Elgin and East St. Louis. Eligible incentives include a building materials sales tax exemption and possible property tax abatement. Halpin hopes to add Rock Island, Moline and East Moline to the pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zones upon certification from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO).
“Businesses in our area take a lot into consideration when deciding where to locate their operations,” Halpin said. “For many, they find Iowa to be the cheaper option, and I want that conclusion to come to an end. We need to be competitive with our neighbors across the river, and send the message that we’re open and ready for business.”

We fell for Inès Longevial’s geometric abstraction paintings a couple of years ago and it’s a delight to see her continue and expand her practise.
Inès’ painting ability allows her to capture the beautiful minor details, such as the elegant folds in piles of clothes to lightly blushing cheeks. This eye for the smaller features is a result of the artist’s practice, “I’m painting over time and everywhere,” she tells It’s Nice That. “Everything I do, I do it thinking about what I’m going to paint.”
The artist’s painting also have a richness due to her choice in tools. “At the moment I draw a lot of with pencil and oil pastels. I finish with the oil painting.” Inès’ luscious colour palette is an element that she says comes to her naturally, “according to my desires and what I feel and what I’m living, and depending on the tubes I have close at hand”.
In terms of influences Inès looks to familiar surroundings, “principally my family and friends that I admire,” she explains. “I work a lot on myself, my childhood in the south of France, and my Spanish origins. What I know the best is myself.”

When you find yourself in Kyrgyzstan after the huge cities of the north of the continent, you are amazed at how different are the trees here that are called the same as there.
Schrenk spruce, which mainly grows in the Tian Shan mountains, is a huge, straight, but not bushy tree. The top of an adult tree reaches almost the height of a multi-storey building, and it almost does not spread out in width. Poplar in the north, except for rare park silver specimens, is considered an almost “trash” tree for urban greening – its branches are brittle, and its immunity poorly withstands the pressure of the urban environment. So, in the summer, when the leaves increase the sail area, the broken large branches can injure pedestrians from the squally wind. And here the poplar is huge, its trunk forms an almost perfectly even circle in circumference, and the branches are quite strong.
“Karakol was a city of poplars”
Previous mayors allowed them to be cut down thoughtlessly. Now, the public position has become more active, and people have realized that the lack of greenery is at least all the dirt in the air. The infectious ward is full of children. Now they have planted some greenery, and this is also a long-term perspective. Karakol was a city of poplars. We raise these issues regularly at the mayor’s office.Margarita
Objectively, there are quite extensive green areas around Karakol, including all the surrounding mountains, and the evaporations from the lake are considered beneficial. However, the residents, especially those who are focused on health issues, occasionally complain about illness. It can be said that the COVID and post-COVID seasons have filled the infectious disease departments with patients almost everywhere. The most significant real impact on the health of local residents is the burning of household waste with elements of plastic or rubber in stoves during the cold season. The second factor is the prevalence of motor vehicle traffic, which is used for almost all travel in the country by anyone who is even slightly affluent.
Urban trees not so much “combat pollution,” but rather reduce the sharpness of temperature changes between day and night and lower the stress levels of city dwellers. In turn, these two factors do indeed have a significant impact on the immune system.
The most significant positive impact on urban ecology and energy independence would be the widespread adoption of pellet boilers in private households, coupled with the opening of pellet-granule production facilities, using both coal and what is commonly known as “plant waste” – agricultural waste, stems, and branches of long-felled trees. In addition, the development of convenient public transportation would also be crucial.

Clarion Partners reported to sell SF’s 60 Spear Street at discount
Presidio Bay Ventures could buy office tower for a third of the price Clarion paid in 2014
Clarion Partners appears ready to trade a San Francisco office tower it bought in 2014 for $107 million at about two-thirds off that price.
Presidio Bay Ventures is the likely buyer of 60 Spear Street, the San Francisco Business Times reports. Cyrus Sanandaji, managing principal at the San Francisco-based development firm, told the publication that his company had bid on the property but could not speak to pricing and said the deal had not yet closed.
“We’re continuing to focus on opportunistic deals downtown,” Sanandaji said.
Multiple sources reportedly said that an unnamed “high net worth” individual had partnered with the developer to buy the 11-story South Financial District tower at $235 per square foot, about one-third of its value when New York-based Clarion Partners purchased it nine years ago.
Of course, much has changed in the city since then, with offices now one-third empty and the South Financial District facing steep challenges of late. Asking rents are down 13 percent citywide compared to the first quarter and are 20 percent off their pre-pandemic peak, according to Colliers data.
When the sale of 60 Spear closes, it will add to the growing number of downtown San Francisco office buildings that have reportedly traded at prices more than half off their previous values. SKS will buy 350 California Street, which is 75 percent empty, for around $200 per square foot, a 75 percent discount from what Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, based in Tokyo, hoped to get for the property in 2020. Nearby, Wells Fargo reportedly accepted an offer on 550 California that is $60 million off the $108 million the bank paid for the tower in 2005 after rejecting offers it deemed too low last year. The buyer is unknown.
When the sales close, the values will go from rumored to reality and possibly set a new floor for San Francisco commercial prices.

AMD has been a strong force in the CPU market thanks to its Ryzen series. After tepid years with the FX series, the company managed to perform a twist with the arrival of the Ryzen CPUs. These are often the favorite choice of enthusiasts and those who want a strong CPU with decent value for money appeal. The company is expected to make its move this year and introduce the Ryzen 7000 series. Today, the leakster @Greymon55, revealed that the Ryzen 7000 series will mark AMD’s entrance into the 5 nm node. Furthermore, the first batch of Ryzen 7000 CPUs include four models.
The New Ryzen 7000 series – launch lineup has been revealed
The new Ryzen 7000 series will be led by the Ryzen 9 7950X. This is likely the flagship offering with 16 cores and 32 threads. It should have a TDP of 170W. In addition to that, there will be also three processors – 7900X, 7800X, and 7600X. At launch, the company seems to be skipping a 7700X processor. The company took a similar approach way back with the Ryzen 5000 series and didn’t launch a Ryzen 7 5700X.
According to the tipster, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950 XT MSRP will be slightly cheaper than the 5950X. In addition to that, the new CPU will also offer support for DDR4 memory, however, the tipster did not confirm whether it will be listed. The frequency of the upcoming chipset is impressive with all cores going up to 5.5 GHz.
Gizchina News of the week
In addition to the Ryzen 7000 news, the leakster @9550pro also said that the performance of AMD Raphael and Intel Raptor Lake in this generation will be similar. Both can reach up to 5.5 GHz speeds. However, the Alder Lake to Raptor Lake IPC’s increase is less than 5 percent. The AMD Zen3 to Zen4 architecture has seen an 8 percent increase.
We expect AMD to make its move in the next few months. However, getting one of these immediately after launch should be a hard task as usual.

Hello dear friends!
Permanent channel of my readers may have noticed that we love to do different crafts from plastic bottles. Today regular, useful, interesting crafts from 5 liter plastic bottles - a breadbox.
Of course, not only the bottle is needed, but also other materials, but the bottle - is the foundation.
You can use this hack, for example, sweets or fruits. Acrylic paints are non-toxic when dry, so there is nothing wrong with the food is not going to happen.
The following materials and tools were used to make:
· 5-liter plastic bottle (rectangular shape);
· Scissors, stationery knife, linear ka and the marker;
· PVA adhesive (carpenter or building), hot glue;
· Newspapers and normal tissue;
· Masking tape;
· Cold Porcelain of polymer clay;
· Acrylic paints;
· Acrylic lacquer.
Instead of HF or polymer clay can be used super simple recipe for self-hardening "plastic".
In a plastic bottle cut the bottom and top parts. The upper part of the bottle is not thrown, it still is useful to us.
On the middle of the bottle make a mark at a height of 8 cm from the table, hold the line and cut a bottle.
The bottom of the bottle cut in half and cut the unnecessary parts.
Glue bottom halves of the central part, masking tape.
From the top of the bottle cut off the neck. It is the lower part of the leg-breadbox.
Paste bread box newspaper strips in the layer 2, and coat with adhesive abundantly PVA. Do not forget about the leg. Leave to dry for 12 hours.
Conventional wipes tear into small pieces, Mnemonic, and sticking on the bottle. Glue on PVA diluted with water 50 to 50%. Leave to dry for another 12 hours.
At the end of 12ti hours to glue the leg breadbaskets on hot glue.
Molde molding self-hardening "plastic" or cold porcelain and glue them on a bread box on the PVA glue. Leave to dry for 24 hours in a warm place.
Paint white acrylic paint and leave to dry for several hours.
Apply acrylic paint and dry.
Now we will use acrylic paint color of coffee with milk. Painted on crafts and immediately wipe excess paint with a rag.
Using a sponge, coloring patterns of white acrylic paint.
At the end again to varnish.
Breadbasket of the plastic bottle is ready, you can put it in a napkin and bread.

Ontology Merging using Answer Set Programming and Linguistic Knowledge
J. Bock, R. Volz, and R. Topor. Proceedings of the Workshop on Ontology Matching (OM2007) at ISWC/ASWC2007, Busan, South Korea, (November 2007)
With the increasing number of ontologies available on the web, the problem of merging ontologies from different sources to interoperate applications becomes important. This paper presents a novel approach for merging of light-weight ontologies based on answer set programming (ASP) and linguistic background knowledge. ASP provides a declarative execution environment for intuitive merging rules. WordNet provides broad linguistic knowledge that is used to identify corresponding concepts. We present a semi-automatic merging algorithm, where users can choose appropriate results from a set of suggestions.

We use organic and inorganic fertilizers to grow and add nutrients to our gardens in order for our plants, fruits and vegetables to grow faster and more efficiently. The most common fertilizers are chemical, inorganic fertilizers because they are relatively cheaper than organic fertilizers. Is cheaper always better? Some fertilizers are not as healthy or environmentally friendly as you think they are, they can cause damage to your soil, garden and our groundwater.
Chemical fertilizers are produced synthetically from inorganic materials. They provide plants with 3 essential nutrients; phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium. Nitrogen can break down into nitrate and easily travel and seep through the soil, because it’s water-soluble it can remain in our groundwater for a long time diminishing our quality of drinking water as well as the habitat and health of our aquatic animals. Drinking contaminated groundwater can have serious health effects for us as well; some long term exposure of contaminated water can cause certain types of cancer.
Long term exposure of chemical fertilizers can cause soil dehydration and destruction of plant tissue. The longer you use chemical fertilizers the more you’ll end up needing in order to successfully grow crops.
Taking a more organic approach with your lawns and gardens. Organic fertilizers are made with remains or by products of organisms like fish extract, seaweed and manure and compost materials. Organic fertilizers can add nutrients to soil, increase soil organic matter, improves soil structures and water holding capacity. They can also reduce soil crusting and erosion from wind and water and slowly and consistently release nutrients to your soil and plants.
Some farmers using organic fertilizers like Neptune have even gone to hold world records for having the biggest vegetables.
Fun Fact- Sewer Sludge in fertilizers
Farmers in some countries use sewage sludge as fertilizers. You read that right. They apply human waste to crops and soils. Sewer sludge frequently tests positive for a host of heavy metals, flame retardants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, phthalates, dioxins, and a host of other chemicals and organisms. Out of all those and other thousands contaminants found in sludge, the U.S. government regulates exactly 10 of them. Sometimes the various contaminants in sewage are at low levels, some chemicals bind to the soil some don’t, some seep into groundwater others are insoluble in water.

Up until now, the pre-gen "GeForce Go 7950 GTX" was as good as it got for gaming performance; it was in fact faster than the more recent 8600M GT and 8700M GT mobile GPUs.
The new 8800M series fixes that problem though. The lineup comprises two models on a 256-bit bus, the GTX and GTS. Clockspeeds are said to be identical on both with the core clock operating at 500MHz, shader clock at 1250MHz and memory clock 800MHz. However, the GTX sports 96 stream processors whilst the GTS has 64 to play with. Both are derived from G92 which the desktop 8800GT card uses.
There's a few reviews out there looking at these new mobile GPU parts, you can find them here :-

Injuring or threatening to injure another person with a deadly weapon. Keep in mind that you can face assault charges in New Jersey even if you did not actually cause injury to the other person.

For most of us, it’s hard to imagine a world that doesn’t include the Internet. But twenty years ago, the world wide web was a strange new world for most people. Morning talk show hosts and news anchors mentioned “this Internet thing” as though they didn’t quite understand what it was. Time Magazine did a cover story about “the world’s largest computer network” as the next big thing.
On May 17, 1994 – pre-Google, pre-Facebook – Social Security launched Social Security Online. The humble website included 20 pages and received 17,000 visits in its first month.
Now, in 2014, it averaged more than 17 million visits a month to the more than 45,000 pages. Last year alone, the website had 83 million visits. It offers 20 online services and more than half of the nation’s new retirees complete their applications online.


Signaling retreat, House Republicans are scaling back television advertising in three highly contested races, officials said Tuesday, including Rep. Curt Weldon's scandal-tinged bid for re-election in Pennsylvania and open seats in Colorado and Ohio.
Some of the funds will be spent to help other Republicans in races that remain competitive.
In contrast to the Republican strategic retreat, House Democrats are expanding the number of districts where they are advertising, an indication of growing confidence as Election Day approaches. In recent days, the party's campaign committee has moved into districts in New Hampshire, New York, Kansas and Nebraska that have long been in GOP hands.
Control of Congress
Democrats must gain 15 seats to win control of the House and six to capture control of the Senate on Nov. 7.
Of the two, the Senate appears a more difficult challenge, and Republicans moved during the day to fortify their position.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee reported it would spend an additional $1 million in the campaign's final days to help Virginia Sen. George Allen in a re-election race that has become far tougher than originally expected.
At the same time, Senate Republicans decided to advertise on behalf of embattled Sen. Conrad Burns in Montana for the first time since August, and beefed up its support for Sen. Lincoln Chafee, trailing in the polls in Rhode Island.
Additionally, the party will begin an independent ad campaign in Michigan for the first time this year, hoping to prevent Sen. Debbie Stabenow from winning a new term.
Why the move
The information about the various moves came from public records at the Federal Election Commission as well as experts in both parties who track television advertising and campaign strategy. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss confidential matters in public.
Weldon, a 10-term lawmaker who appeared to be cruising to re-election not long ago, has become ensnared in a federal corruption investigation. The government is investigating allegations that he used his influence to help his daughter's lobbying firm secure contracts worth $1 million from foreign clients. The FBI recently raided his daughter's home and office in what Weldon termed a politically motivated inquiry.
It appeared that much of the advertising money the National Republican Congressional Committee had intended for his seat in the campaign's final days would be redirected to help Pennsylvania Reps. Michael Fitzpatrick and Jim Gerlach.
The two other races where Republicans are scaling back advertising include the Ohio district that convicted Rep. Bob Ney has represented, and the one Rep. Bob Beauprez vacated to run for governor of Colorado.
House Republicans have reported spending more than $3 million to hold Ney's seat so far, and it appeared that at least a portion of the money intended for that race will now be spent to help Rep. Deborah Pryce, who is locked in a difficult campaign elsewhere in the state.
The Colorado race pits Democrat Ed Perlmutter against Republican Rick O'Donnell. Perlmutter has led comfortably in recent polls, and Republican strategists apparently concluded the money ticketed for that race could be better spent trying to help re-elect Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, seeking a new term in a different part of Colorado.
In Ohio, Democrat Zack Space is running against State Sen. Joy Padgett. Her campaign has been hindered by Ney's refusal to resign from Congress even though he pleaded guilty to felony corruption charges earlier in the month.

"I am deeply concerned that we will have a constitutional crisis if she's elected. I want to learn more this week, see what we see, but as of today, I am not a supporter of the Secretary of State for the nation's highest office."
With those words during my weekly program on the FOX Report, Political Insiders, I made one of the toughest and biggest decisions of my career.
As I have written so many times before, I’m deeply proud of the work I did for President Bill Clinton between 1994 and 2000. We won re-election successfully in 1996 and actually worked with the other side – a tradition in American politics that has now been lost. And I worked closely with Secretary Clinton, who I admire greatly.
But since Friday’s announcement from FBI Director James Comey that the FBI may have found emails related to the Clinton probe on Anthony Weiner’s computer, the prospect of a successful Clinton presidency has been thrown into chaos.
What I mean by this is that we are staring down the barrel of a criminal investigation of President-elect Clinton. We will also be facing investigations into her top aide, Huma Abedin, who apparently forwarded emails to her shared computer with her husband, Weiner, to print and give to the former Secretary of State. And there’s a very real chance that there will be investigations into the actions of the Justice Department and the FBI Director himself.
This is no way to start any presidency, let alone one after such a tumultuous campaign and eight years of hyper partisanship that has left America more divided than ever before.
Americans overwhelmingly want politicians to work together to advance their interests and are craving a change from business-as-usual Washington. This is perhaps the principal motivating factor in support for Trump and was fueling Bernie Sanders’s campaign as well. Clinton was always the establishment candidate, a reality voters came to grips with, but never favored outright. When close to 70% think the country is headed in the wrong direction, this should come as no surprise.
It follows that I naturally worry about the consequences of a president-elect who is totally and utterly immobilized due to partisanship and scandal.
I remember Watergate well. And though the crimes committed were serious and quite rightly the focal point of the scandal, there was something else seriously troubling that occurred. As a result of Watergate, the United State was paralyzed and unable to act. President Nixon and the government was rendered impotent, unable to govern and meet their responsibilities to the American public.
I worry that we could might very well face the same fate with a President Clinton.
This is why I withdrew my support for Secretary Clinton. I am still a Democrat and I am not voting for Donald Trump. His worldview is at odds with my own. But if we don’t consider the real prospect of a constitutional crisis under a Clinton presidency, we’re in for a very troubling four years.

‘Double standards’: More pictures emerge of PM’s Cornish pub visits
The Prime Minister has visited at least three different pubs around Cornwall. Photo: Facebook
More pictures have appeared online of Scott Morrison enjoying the hospitality of British pubs on his recent jaunt to the G7.
The Prime Minister’s visit to a Cornwall pub sparked outrage among many Australians earlier this week, but it has since been revealed it was not a one-off.
Two more pubs in the area have posted their own images to social media, thanking Mr Morrison and his team for visiting while he was in Britain.
“We had the absolute privilege of welcoming the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, and the Australian High Commissioner to The Old Quay House last night for dinner,” a now-deleted post from a pub in Hayle read.
“We were overjoyed that they wanted to stay local and enjoy a relaxed evening with us, tasting the delights of our proper English pub grub.”
Another venue, Three Tuns Cornwall, was also excited to have hosted the Australian visitors.
“We were extremely honoured to welcome the Australian Prime Minister to the Tuns yesterday afternoon for a cold pint of Korev and a sandwich, after he visited St Keverne Church to leave flowers for his ancestors, as well as the Australian High Commissioner for one of our Sunday roasts”, the pub posted on Facebook.
Friends of the St Keverne pub were encouraging in the comments, pleased the visit brought good publicity for their local.
Asked whether Mr Morrison left a review on Tripadvisor, the pub replied “not yet, but we’re still hopeful.”
But back at home backlash was swift and furious, with “trapped” citizens letting fly about the Prime Minister’s gallivanting.
Australians have been unable to travel freely overseas since March 2020, when borders were shut due to the pandemic. Up to 40 per cent of Australians are estimated to have family overseas – they were among those who were particularly triggered by the site of Mr Morrison and his entourage enjoying Cornish hospitality.
“Looks like a great restaurant! Sadly it highlights the double standards.” Katharina Zink Attana wrote.
She said Mr Morrison was “trying to tell Australians that UK is COVID-riddled” and has pushed the line that borders should remain closed to keep citizens safe.
“Parents, according to Scott Morrison, are not considered immediate family in Australia. Many are separated from children, partners, parents and grandparents with no road map from the government when we can see them again.
“We are not allowed to leave and they are not allowed to come. Yet politicians and celebrities travel freely.”
On Wednesday, Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack defended Mr Morrison’s choice of lunch venue.
“There’s probably nothing more Aussie to do when you’re in the UK than to visit a British pub, and have a stout,” he said, after The New Daily asked whether the criticism was unfair.
Last week, Mr Morrison told Perth radio station 6PR there were no set plans for when Australians would be allowed to travel internationally again.
Pressed to provide a percentage target for vaccinations to allow borders to reopen, he said: “We haven’t set any mark on that.”
He said less-restricted international travel would resume for Australians “when the medical advice suggests that we should”.
Coronavirus hospitalisation numbers in well-vaccinated European nations could be a crucial indicator.
On Thursday, Mr Morrison said the federal government would closely watch the rates of serious illness in Europe during its summer.
“A lot of people will be moving around under those new arrangements, and we’ll be able to see what the impact of that is,” he told Sky News.
“If the virus is there but the hospitalisations and the serious illness don’t occur and we see that on a sustained basis, well that says there is a potentially different pathway there.
“But the jury is not in on that yet.”
Australia has edged past six million doses as the sluggish vaccine rollout continues to gather momentum.
But the portion of the population that is fully immunised remains low, with the latest official figure about 3 per cent.
In contrast, major European nations are reporting high vaccination rates with almost 58 per cent of adults in Britain having received both doses.

Located in the western part of Java Island, Tanjung Lesung, which is hailed as the next new Bali, is a paradise of white sandy beaches and pristine seas. Just a 3-hour drive from Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, It is already a popular destination for locals but less so for international visitors. Tanjung Lesung also provides a closer alternative route for those wishing to visit the Krakatau.
Tanjung Lesung is an area that is being developed by the government to become the largest sea-based tourist city closest to Jakarta. This is because many people still like sea-based tourist attractions.
Currently, the other option is Bali, which is quite costly in terms of transportation, especially for people living in Jakarta and its surroundings. So in the future Tanjung Lesung can be a relatively efficient choice of beach tourist destinations to reach because it can be accessed using private vehicles from Jakarta and nearby.
Tanjung Lesung is located about 170 km southwest of Jakarta, precisely in Banten Province and covers 1,500 hectares of untouched peninsula facing the Indian Ocean. It is accessible by toll road from Jakarta in about 3.5 hours.
Tanjung Lesung is planned to be a first-class international resort that combines the feel of Bali with Venice. A number of facilities have already been developed in the form of road infrastructure, transportation and accommodation to make easy to connect among hotels, condominiums, beach clubs and apartments, with white sandy beaches, as well as a Venetian-style city center.
As one of the areas that is part of the Indonesian government program of the next New Bali, Tanjung Lesung will continue to be developed both in terms of accommodation and in terms of other tourist support facilities. For example, approximately 1,000 seaside residences, beach club and an international standard golf course will be built, which are later surrounded by beautiful residential areas and scenic views.
Tanjung Lesung has various exciting attractions that visitors can choose during vacation there. Visitors can swim at the clear beach, enjoy sunrise and sunset with the beautiful background of the Krakatau Volcano, touring the beach area by bicycle or ATV, see the underwater ‘paradise’ by snorkeling, playing jetski or banana boat, enjoy the beautiful islands around, explore Ujung Kulon National Park or visit the unique Baduy Village.

A lot of players (and also head coach Claude Julien) received immense credit for the Boston Bruins’ second run to the Stanley Cup Final in three years, but GM Peter Chiarelli is the person who constructed the roster. CSNNE.com reports that the franchise has discussed a contract extension with the executive multiple times during the last few months.
Chiarelli’s contract is set to expire after the 2013-14 season, prompting team president Cam Neely to admit that he deserves a contract extension.
“I think the job that both Pete [Chiarelli] and Claude [Julien] have done since they’ve been here is something that we certainly hope would happen where we get the team back to relevance, and give us an opportunity to compete for championships. Ultimately, we did win one,” Neely said. “We got to the Finals, and it’s very disappointing to lose in the Finals, obviously. But to acquire the types of players, and draft and develop the types of players that are going to help us win championships is what Peter and Donny [Don Sweeney] and Jim Benning have done.”
Perhaps the organization wants to see him make things work once more.
It won’t be easy to make everything work with an estimated $5.8 million in cap space, but Chiarelli has shown that he can deftly manage the cap and other concerns in the past.

76JAG7006 OXFORD DIECAST Jaguar Mk VII in racing green
Launched at the 1950 British International Motor Show, the prestigious Jaguar Mk VII was produced between 1951 and 1956 at the Coventry Works of Jaguar Cars.
The luxury four-door saloon featured a 3442 cc, 160 bhp engine capable of a speed of 100 mph and from 1952 it became the first Jaguar to be offered with optional automatic transmission. No wonder it was a favourite on the racing circuits of the era. During its lifetime, nearly 31000 rolled off the production line.
The Oxford model of the Jaguar MK VII, is seen here in 1:76 scale appearing in the truly British colour scheme of Racing Green, registered GCH 268. Contrasting silver trim looks great against the body colour, too. The interior is finished with pale green seating and a black steering wheel.
At a cost of £1695 in 1951, including taxes, the Jaguar Mk VII was thought beyond the reach of UK drivers, therefore Jaguar aimed their sights towards the export market but such was its appeal at home that Jaguar had to move to their Browns Lane premises to cope with demand.

I was just walking home and had a bit of extra space on my memory card, so I thought I'd take a shot at this relief. It was one of the better ones. Most of the original detail was still there, but you can see where it was touched up. Some of the other reliefs on the staircase weren't so lucky.
The point cloud looks pretty good on this one. Enjoy~

Resorts World Manila has unveiled a new air filtration system designed to sanitize the air supply to its gaming areas.
The Spectra UltraViolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) Care program utilizes high-powered UV lamps installed within the property’s air conditioning system to sanitize air of viruses and air-borne substances before it is pumped into public areas.
A representative of RWM operator Travellers International Hotel Group told IAG that the property is the first integrated resort to install the Spectra UVGI Care system, which is more commonly used in hospitals and other health care facilities. RWM also said the system has a 99% disinfectant rate based on the company’s own internal testing.
At present, RWM’s gaming areas in both the Garden Wing and Grand Wing are protected by the system.
In a video published this week titled “Resorts World Manila – Safer Space”, RWM Chief Operating Officer Stephen Reilly said the company wanted to ensure guests were receiving “sanitized, clean air supply whether you be in our mall, in our gaming spaces or other, so you can guarantee when you come and frequent Resorts World Manila you are definitely going to have clean air.”
RWM has also introduced the NanoAce care system by which all touchpoints on property are sprayed with a special disinfectant that adheres to surfaces and rejects germs, bacteria, fingerprints and dirt.

The following sections will talk about Purple Passion Plant info, care, propagation and common problems in detail.
Purple Passion Plant is an evergreen perennial herb with many branches. purple passion plant stem is succulent, erect when young, pendulous or creeping when grown. The Stem leaves covered with purple velvety hairs
Purple Passion Plant Leaves
Purple Passion Plant leaves are opposite, ovate or broadly elliptic, 8 - 15 cm long and 4 - 5 cm wide; The leaf margin has coarse compound serrate, the leaf tip is acute, the vein palmately shape is obvious. The young leaves are purplish red, and when grown they are dark green. The whole plant is densely covered with purplish-red fuzz. It is characteristic in foliage plants.
Purple Passion Plant Flower & Smell
Purple Passion Plant blooms as soon as it is mature. Its flowers are small yellow flowers with a little bit of red. The flowers are not beautiful and give off a strong smell. If you want to keep purple passion plants at home, cut the flower off in time. When the Purple Passion Plant blooms, it is fully mature. After a while, it will turn yellow and wither.
Purple Passion Plant Care
Purple Passion Plants like warm, humid, sunny semi-humid and ventilated environment, avoid direct sunlight. Their cold resistance is not strong. The optimum temperature for growth is 18-25℃, and the overwintering temperature is about 8℃.
Purple Passion Plant Light
Usually, Purple Passion plants should be kept in a place with bright light, and at least 3-5 hours of scattered light should be guaranteed every day. The more light there is, the darker its leaves become, and it looks very colorful. If you see sunburn on the leaves of the Purple Passion Plant, reduce the light immediately. Avoid direct exposure to the hot sun in summer. Once Purple Passion plant is directly exposed to the strong light, the leaves will become scorched and black, presenting a state of drying and dehydration, thus causing lesions and damage to the whole Plant. If there is not enough light, its leaves will be thin and pale, which greatly affects its ornamental value.
Purple Passion Plant Soil
Purple Passion Plant likes to grow on loose and fertile soil. We can use peat soil and leaf mould soil in a ratio of 1:1:2 to make suitable soil for its growth. In the growing season of Purple Passion Plant, a lot of water is needed. The soil should be wet rather than dry. Once the soil is dried out, the Purple Passion Plant leaves will be drooping, so it is necessary to water or spray water immediately. Do not spray water to the leaf, otherwise there will be rotten leaf phenomenon.
Purple Passion Plant Temperature & Humidity
The temperature suitable for the growth of Purple Passion Plant is 18-28℃. This Plant is afraid of low temperature, too low temperature will cause the Plant to rot. In winter, the indoor temperature should be above 8℃. The leaf color of Purple Passion Plant also has a certain relationship with the temperature difference between day and night. When the temperature difference between day and night is kept at about 10℃, the pigments in the leaves will be more easily synthesized and accumulated. Also spray water around Purple Passion plants frequently, but do not water on the leaves surface. Purple Passion Plant leaves will be more bright and vibrant in the environment of 50% to 60% humidity.
Purple Passion Plant Watering
Purple Passion Plant is afraid of too much water, but do not let the pot soil dry often. If its branches wither quickly in a drought condition, it may be difficult to survive. Water your Purple Passion Plant as soon as you see the plants and leaves drooping. When watering, be careful not to spray water onto the leaves. If water droplets remain on the leaves all the time, they can cause fungal infections. Water once a day in summer when it is hot, once every two or three days in spring and autumn to keep the soil moist. Control water in winter. When watering, do not pour water directly on the leaves, as they are fluffy and can cause rot.
Purple Passion Plant Fertilizer
If Purple Passion Plant grows faster and leaves better looking, fill it with liquid fertilizer every two weeks or so during the spring, summer and fall growing seasons. Stop fertilizing in winter when temperatures are low. If the winter temperature can be maintained above 18 degrees, you can give it a supplement of thin fertilizer every two or three weeks at half the usual concentration.
Repotting Purple Passion Plant
A single purple passion plant won’t last more than a few years, so normally it doesn’t need to repot. If your plant is larger than the pot or root rot, it is necessary to repot the plant. The best time to repot Purple Passion Plant is spring. At this time, the temperature is relatively low, so it will not cause damage to its roots. When repotting, you can propagate purple passion plant by cuttings or division to get more new plant. (Find more Climbing Plants with Flowers here.)
Purple Passion Plant Propagation
Purple Passion Plant is a relatively short-lived Plant. It usually only grows for about two to three years. It is best to cut a few more tender branches for propagation before maturity. As a relative niche foliage Plant, the Purple Passion Plant is not an easy potted plant to propagate. When cutting propagation, it is difficult to root, and the base of branches is particularly easy to perishable especially at high temperatures. Usually, if you want to propagate more Purple Passion plants, you need to promote rooting by hydroponic propagation method first, and then propagated by soil culture again to develop new potted plants. Before propagating Purple Passion Plant in water from cuttings, it is necessary to prepare sharp blades and disinfect knives in advance. Cut the branch, and the leaves at the bottom of the branch should be taken out in advance. After 5 minutes or so, you can wipe on the bottom of the branch a few root powder, which has the effect of sterilization disinfection, also can promote root system faster. Then you can prepare a small cup, soak the Purple Passion Plant branch bottom in water about three centimeters. Change the water every 3 to 4 days, but also put it in the ventilated place. Keep the appropriate temperature about 20 to 22 degrees. Too high or too low will affect Purple Passion Plant rooting. After rooting and the plant grow a little big, you can replant it in soil. Before transplanting Purple Passion Plant from cuttings, prepare loose and fertile soil. We can use peat soil and leaf mould soil in a ratio of 1:1:2 to make suitable soil for its growth.

Does the Assemblies of God believe in spiritual warfare? To what extent should Christians search for and take authority over satanic and evil forces?
The Assemblies of God believes in spiritual warfare because the concept is clearly stated in Scripture. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Eph. 6:10-12).
But the Assemblies of God does not believe in spiritual warfare as it is defined and practiced by some well-meaning but misguided advocates of an unbiblical spiritual warfare. Verses are taken out of context or carried to extreme interpretations by some to arrive at meanings that go beyond the clear statements of Scripture. Or a single instance in the Bible is made a pattern for prayer and warfare against Satan when other Scripture passages do not portray the same emphasis.
In His ministry while on earth, Jesus cast out evil spirits, setting the demon-possessed free from physical infirmities accompanying the presence of evil. But on other occasions Jesus healed infirmities that resulted from natural causes, not from personal sin or demon possession (e.g., John 9:2,3). Carried to extremes, some who have misinterpreted spiritual warfare have imagined demons around every corner and location a believer travels. Some begin worship in the house of God by casting out the demons that "likely" have entered the building since the last gathering of the saints. But the only pattern of Scripture is the call for God’s presence as Christians gather for worship and edification. God’s presence guarantees that there is no power present that is not subject to His will.
Other misinterpreters of spiritual warfare take 1 Peter 5:8 out of context and use it to give Satan a power and an omnipresence which are not supported by Scripture. "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" sounds ominous. And the work of the devil must never be underestimated. But the next verse puts our authority over Satan in proper perspective. "Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings" (1 Peter 5:9). Our everyday Christian walk is not to be a litany of rebuking the devil at every turn, but rather a standing firm in the faith and resisting the temptations that Satan slyly brings against believers. To do more is to give greater credit to Satan than he deserves.
Others have taken Luke 10:19 as the basis for an aggressive assault on an omnipresent Satan. Jesus said to His disciples, "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." Only God is omnipresent. Satan and his cohorts are limited to one place at a time, though there are presumably enough evil spirits to populate the earth. Yet they all are subject to the power and authority of God. The following verse brings balance to the seeming militaristic statement of Jesus. "However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven" (Luke 10:20).
Some people have been so caught up in confronting Satan at every turn that they forget to rejoice that their names are written in heaven. Though the evil one is able to attack us, he cannot defeat us, as our citizenship is in heaven. We must never forget that we are covered and protected by the blood and life that Jesus gave when He died on the Cross (2 Thess. 3:3).
The beautiful picture of the Christian soldier in Ephesians 6:13-18 is magnificent:
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.”
We are engaged in spiritual warfare. But the soldier portrayed in the passage is not a warrior flailing wildly at an enemy he cannot see and doesn’t understand. He stands tall in the confidence that he has all the protection and weaponry he needs to meet any attack of the evil one. He is alert. And he prays for all the saints that they might be so equipped as he is.
Some take an isolated instance in which Jesus asked a demon its name (Legion, Mark 5:9) to mean that the "demon" behind every sickness or malady must first be identified and then cast out of a person. But we are not commanded in Scripture to seek or know the names of spirits in order to deliver individuals from evil.
A few believers have even wrongly adopted a belief that Christians are to be exempt from illness and pain. This faulty belief has led them to a further misguided and heretical conclusion that demons can take control of believers as well as non-believers. The Assemblies of God does not believe this is possible. The church believes that Satan can only oppress believers, but that he can never possess and control them. They are God’s property and children of His kingdom. Though demonic power was present in some of the miraculous healings and deliverances of Jesus, there were as many instances of healing natural illness that had no demonic involvement.
Naming or personalizing evil spirits has also been encouraged by biblical phrases such as "the spirit of fear" (2 Tim. 1:7) and "a spirit of infirmity" (Luke 13:11). But such an interpretation results from a poor understanding of Scripture. If there is an evil spirit of fear, then there should also be identifiable good spirits of power, love, and soundness of mind (cf. 2 Tim. 1:7). Bible scholars have always interpreted the word spirit in such instances as attitudes rather than identifiable personal spirits, either evil or good.
Some who take spiritual warfare to improper extremes conclude from the biblical account of the angel speaking to Daniel that every nation of the world has either an angel or demon crusading for its success: "Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece will come; but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. . . . No one supports me against them except Michael, your prince" (Daniel 10:20,21). Certainly, we are to pray for nations and peoples, asking God to send forth laborers to reach the lost with the gospel. But in our Lord’s Great Commission that we are to go into all the world with His message of salvation there is no mention of angels or demons ruling over continents, countries, and cities. Though Satan is the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2), there is no evidence that we must know and understand a hierarchy of demons in order to advance the truth of the gospel. The key is that we know Christ. Instead of concentrating on Satan and how he works, we must stay in touch with the One in us who is greater than the one in the world (1 John 4:4). The gift of discernment of spirits is available for those instances when a greater understanding of the immediate presence and power of Satan is essential.
We have concerns about those who regularly teach and practice an arrogant, presumptuous involvement with satanic powers. Certainly, we need to be cautious of the evil one’s traps. For the Bible says he is deceptive and comes as a ‘roaring lion’ eager to devour. Yet we are to have no fear of Satan or of his efforts to seduce and destroy God’s children. Scripture teaches us that if we resist the devil he will flee from us (James 4:7). The preacher who dwells more on the fiery darts of Satan than on the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) as our defense and victory may unintentionally stir fear rather than faith in the hearts of hearers. Satan is real, but experiencing the presence and power of an omnipotent yet personal God is the privilege of all Spirit-filled believers.
We recognize and teach that even though God and Satan are real entities in our world today, there are also experiences in life that are not caused by or attributed to God or Satan. An accident because of a moment of careless inattention does not mean that a demon caused the mishap. God may have allowed something to happen, but neither can He be charged with responsibility. We are concerned that an overzealous preoccupation with demonic influences in our lives can result in an attitude of irresponsibility, of not feeling accountable for our own actions and failures.
The above statement is based upon our common understanding of scriptural teaching


Israel has historically faced hostility from it's Arab neighbors. Now, it is facing hostility within it's own borders as the battle between ultra-Orthodox and secular Jews threatens to divide the country. NBC's Martin Fletcher reports.
TEL AVIV – Israel’s orthodox and secular Jews are in the midst of a pitched battle over the role of women in society.
It's a question as old as the state: how Jewish will the country be? In recent weeks radical ultraorthodox Jews have hit the headlines after one told a woman to go to the back of a public bus. Others smashed the windows of shops with content they considered provocative, defaced posters of women and even threatened children.
It's all about so-called modesty. Radical ultraorthodox want women out of sight, so that they won't be tempted – even by children.
It's a decades old fight that sometimes hits the headlines. But under Israel's right-wing religious coalition government, the tension is growing.
NBC News’ Martin Fletcher reports from Tel Aviv on the ongoing battle. Watch the video above.

After legalizing and implementing online lottery sales this year, Virginia has enjoyed a substantial increase in revenue brought in by online gaming. While traditionally the practice had been discouraged and fought against by land-based gaming organizations, the state decided 2020 would be the inaugural year for Virginia online lottery sales.
Sales stay strong throughout year
All told, the numbers jumped more than 35% in the 2020 fiscal year, to net a $181.5 million increase in overall sales. It’s important to keep in mind that the fiscal year began July 1. This means the increase was realized in only a few short months. Cutting online sales out of the equation, traditional retail lottery sales increased by 13% in September.
By the end of 2019’s fiscal year in June, Virginia’s lottery industry had weathered the COVID-19 effects that affected so many state lotteries. Total profits for the year reached $595 million.
Virginia Lottery Director Kevin Hall told the state Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee, “We were very pleased to see what we consider to be a solid performance.”
Gambling continues to expand in VA
Gov. Ralph Northam and the state’s general assembly granted electronic skill games a one-year reprieve after the state legislature voted to ban the games due to their perceived threat to lottery revenues. Those lottery revenues contribute directly to funding public education.
As the Virginia Lottery assumes responsibility for regulating both sports betting and casino gambling this year, Hall is bracing for the increase in activity, acknowledging, “This year, we’ll see probably the most dramatic expansion of lottery responsibilities since we were created 32 years ago.”
To meet the rising demands of compliance in the face of expanded gaming, the Virginia Lottery Commission has expanded operations in Richmond. The organization has formed a dedicated gaming compliance division to address the needs of mobile sports betting and casino gaming.
Last month, the lottery’s board of directors adopted sports betting regulations and began accepting license applications. Those licenses are expected to be awarded in February of 2021.
