Shark depredation, where a shark consumes a hooked fish before it can be retrieved to the fishing vessel, can occur in recreational fisheries. This may cause higher mortality rates in target fish species, injuries to sharks from fishing gear and negatively impact the recreational fishing experience. This study quantified spatial variation and frequency of shark depredation in a recreational fishery in the Ningaloo Marine Park and Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, by surveying 248 fishing boats at west coast boat ramps and 155 boats at Exmouth Gulf boat ramps from July 2015 to May 2016. Shark depredation occurred on 38.7% of fishing trips from west coast boat ramps and 41.9% of trips from Exmouth Gulf boat ramps. The mean (±95% CI) shark depredation rate per trip was 13.7 ± 3.3% for demersal fishing (n = 185) and 11.8 ± 6.8% for trolling (n = 63) for west coast boat ramps, compared to 11.5 ± 2.8% (n = 128) and 7.2 ± 8.4% (n = 27) for Exmouth Gulf ramps. Depredation rates varied spatially, with higher depredation in areas which received greater fishing pressure. A novel application of Tweedie generalised additive mixed models indicated that depth, the number of other boats fishing within 5 km and survey period influenced depredation rates for fishing trips from west coast boat ramps. For the Exmouth Gulf ramps, fishing pressure and decreasing latitude positively affected the number of fish depredated. These results highlight the important influence of spatial variation in fishing pressure. The occurrence of higher depredation rates in areas which receive greater fishing pressure may indicate the formation of a behavioural association in the depredating sharks. This study is the first quantitative assessment of shark depredation in an Australian recreational fishery, and provides important insights that can assist recreational fishers and managers in reducing depredation
Ocean acidification (OA), the gradual decline in ocean pH and [ ] caused by rising levels of atmospheric CO2, poses a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems, depressing rates of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) production, and enhancing rates of bioerosion and dissolution. As ocean pH and [ ] decline globally, there is increasing emphasis on managing local stressors that can exacerbate the vulnerability of coral reefs to the effects of OA. We show that sustained, nutrient rich, lower pH submarine groundwater discharging onto nearshore coral reefs off west Maui lowers the pH of seawater and exposes corals to nitrate concentrations 50 times higher than ambient. Rates of coral calcification are substantially decreased, and rates of bioerosion are orders of magnitude higher than those observed in coral cores collected in the Pacific under equivalent low pH conditions but living in oligotrophic waters. Heavier coral nitrogen isotope (δ15N) values pinpoint not only site-specific eutrophication, but also a sewage nitrogen source enriched in 15N. Our results show that eutrophication of reef seawater by land-based sources of pollution can magnify the effects of OA through nutrient driven-bioerosion. These conditions could contribute to the collapse of coastal coral reef ecosystems sooner than current projections predict based only on ocean acidification.
Plain Language Summary
We show that sustained, nutrient rich, lower pH submarine groundwater discharging onto nearshore coral reefs off west Maui lowers the pH of seawater and exposes corals to nitrate concentrations 50 times higher than ambient. Rates of coral calcification are substantially decreased, and rates of bioerosion are orders of magnitude higher than those observed in coral cores collected in the Pacific. With many of Maui's coral reefs in significant decline reducing any stressors at a local scale is important to sustaining future coral reef ecosystems and planning for resiliency.
Tidal response to sea-level rise (SLR) varies in different coastal systems. To provide a generic pattern of tidal response to SLR, a systematic investigation was conducted using numerical techniques applied to idealized and realistic estuaries, with model results cross-checked by analytical solutions. Our results reveal that the response of tidal range to SLR is nonlinear, spatially heterogeneous, and highly affected by the length and bathymetry of an estuary and weakly affected by the estuary convergence with an exception of strong convergence. Contrary to the common assumption that SLR leads to a weakened bottom friction, resulting in increased tidal amplitude, we demonstrate that tidal range is likely to decrease in short estuaries and in estuaries with a narrow channel and large low-lying shallow areas.
To minimize the impacts of climate change on human wellbeing, governments, development agencies, and civil society organizations have made substantial investments in improving people’s capacity to adapt to change. Yet to date, these investments have tended to focus on a very narrow understanding of adaptive capacity. Here, we propose an approach to build adaptive capacity across five domains: the assets that people can draw upon in times of need; the flexibility to change strategies; the ability to organize and act collectively; learning to recognize and respond to change; and the agency to determine whether to change or not.
Plastics and spilled oil pose a critical threat to marine life and human health. As a result of wind forcing and wave motions, theoretical and laboratory studies predict very strong velocity variation with depth over the upper few centimeters of the water column, an observational blind spot in the real ocean. Here we present the first-ever ocean measurements of the current vector profile defined to within 1 cm of the free surface. In our illustrative example, the current magnitude averaged over the upper 1 cm of the ocean is shown to be nearly four times the average over the upper 10 m, even for mild forcing. Our findings indicate that this shear will rapidly separate pieces of marine debris which vary in size or buoyancy, making consideration of these dynamics essential to an improved understanding of the pathways along which marine plastics and oil are transported.
Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these changes are scleractinian corals, which engineer the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Corals’ sensitivity is a consequence of their evolutionary investment in symbiosis with the dinoflagellate alga, Symbiodinium. Together, the coral holobiont has dominated oligotrophic tropical marine habitats. However, warming destabilizes this association and reduces coral fitness. It has been theorized that, when reefs become warm and eutrophic, mutualistic Symbiodinium sequester more resources for their own growth, thus parasitizing their hosts of nutrition. Here, we tested the hypothesis that sub-bleaching temperature and excess nitrogen promotes symbiont parasitism by measuring respiration (costs) and the assimilation and translocation of both carbon (energy) and nitrogen (growth; both benefits) within Orbicella faveolata hosting one of two Symbiodinium phylotypes using a dual stable isotope tracer incubation at ambient (26 °C) and sub-bleaching (31 °C) temperatures under elevated nitrate. Warming to 31 °C reduced holobiont net primary productivity (NPP) by 60% due to increased respiration which decreased host %carbon by 15% with no apparent cost to the symbiont. Concurrently, Symbiodinium carbon and nitrogen assimilation increased by 14 and 32%, respectively while increasing their mitotic index by 15%, whereas hosts did not gain a proportional increase in translocated photosynthates. We conclude that the disparity in benefits and costs to both partners is evidence of symbiont parasitism in the coral symbiosis and has major implications for the resilience of coral reefs under threat of global change.
A brief history of marine fisheries is presented which emphasizes the expansion of industrial fleets in the 20th century, and their inherent lack of sustainability. In contrast, small scale fisheries, i.e. artisanal, subsistence and recreational fisheries could become part of a blue economy, given that care is taken to reduce incentives for building up fishing effort. However, they usually receive little attention from policy makers, as reflected by the almost complete absence from the catch data submitted by member countries to the FAO. While industrial fisheries tend to lack the features that would make them compatible with a blue economy, small-scale fisheries possess most of these features, and thus may represent the future of sustainable fisheries.
The vast and complex coast of the Magellan Region of extreme southern Chile possesses a diversity of habitats including fjords, deep channels, and extensive kelp forests, with a unique mix of temperate and sub-Antarctic species. The Cape Horn and Diego Ramírez archipelagos are the most southerly locations in the Americas, with the southernmost kelp forests, and some of the least explored places on earth. The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera plays a key role in structuring the ecological communities of the entire region, with the large brown seaweed Lessonia spp. forming dense understories. Kelp densities were highest around Cape Horn, followed by Diego Ramírez, and lowest within the fjord region of Francisco Coloane Marine Park (mean canopy densities of 2.51 kg m-2, 2.29 kg m-2, and 2.14 kg m-2, respectively). There were clear differences in marine communities among these sub-regions, with the lowest diversity in the fjords. We observed 18 species of nearshore fishes, with average species richness nearly 50% higher at Diego Ramírez compared with Cape Horn and Francisco Coloane. The number of individual fishes was nearly 10 times higher at Diego Ramírez and 4 times higher at Cape Horn compared with the fjords. Dropcam surveys of mesophotic depths (53–105 m) identified 30 taxa from 25 families, 15 classes, and 7 phyla. While much of these deeper habitats consisted of soft sediment and cobble, in rocky habitats, echinoderms, mollusks, bryozoans, and sponges were common. The southern hagfish (Myxine australis) was the most frequently encountered of the deep-sea fishes (50% of deployments), and while the Fueguian sprat (Sprattus fuegensis) was the most abundant fish species, its distribution was patchy. The Cape Horn and Diego Ramírez archipelagos represent some of the last intact sub-Antarctic ecosystems remaining and a recently declared large protected area will help ensure the health of this unique region.
Ocean acidification (OA) leads to significant changes in seawater carbon chemistry, broadly affects marine organisms, and considered as a global threat to the fitness of marine ecosystems. Due to the crucial role of copepods in marine food webs of transferring energy from primary producers to higher trophic levels, numerous studies have been conducted to examine the impacts of OA on biological traits of copepods such as growth and reproduction. Under OA stress, the copepods demonstrated species-specific and stage-dependent responses. Notably, different populations of the same copepod species demonstrated different sensitivities to the increased pCO2. In copepods, the deleterious effects of OA are also reinforced by other naturally occurring co-stressors (e.g., thermal stress, food deprivation, and metal pollution). Given that most OA stress studies have focused on the effects of short-term exposure (shorter than a single generation), experiments using adults might have underestimated the damaging effects of OA and the long-term multigenerational exposure to multiple stressors (e.g., increased pCO2 and food shortage) will be required. Particularly, omics-based technologies (e.g., genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) will be helpful to better understand the underlying processes behind biological responses (e.g., survival, development, and offspring production) at the mechanistic level which will improve our predictions of the responses of copepods to climate change stressors including OA.
2017 was the warmest year on record for the global ocean according to an updated Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IAP, CAS; http://english. iap.cas.cn/) ocean analysis. The oceans in the upper 2000 m were 1.51 × 1022 J warmer than the second warmest year of 2015 and 19.19×1022 J above the 1981–2010 climatological reference period (Fig. 1). For comparison, total electricity generation in China in 2016 was 0.00216 × 1022 J, which is 699 times smaller than the increase in ocean heat in 2017.
In 1997, the United Nations Environment’s Caribbean Environment Program (UNEP-CEP) convened a meeting of 50 MPA managers from which CaMPAM was born. Since then, CaMPAM has adaptively evolved into a comprehensive regional program that aims at strengthening Caribbean marine protected areas at the site and national level through a variety of mechanisms. CaMPAM’s original focus was to provide training, information sharing, and communications. Shortly after, grants awarding for learning exchanges and for implementing small projects started. Partnerships were established with interested organizations. Some collaborators became mentors and served as instructors and activities' coordinators.These tools allowed the capacity building program to address the MPA changing needs. These needs have been captured through site visits, consultations with scientists and managers, surveys, evaluations of courses and the entre program, CaMPAM project reports, specific requests of donors, the intergovernmental meetings of UNEP-CEP’s Cartagena Convention’s Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) Protocol, etc. and have shaped the program. In the spirit of having a balance between the region’s needs and the role of CaMPAM as the SPAW MPA capacity building tool, in 2016 the UNEP-CEP commissioned the review of CaMPAM program in order to make it more relevant and useful. This paper co-autored by the CaMPAM founder, its coordinator, the main collaborator, and the expert commissioned to assess CaMPAM performance describes the activities implemented in 1997-2017 and the latest assessment of the program.
The protection of marine megafauna within Europe is rather fragmented. Developing conservation measures for highly mobile species presents definite challenges, particularly due to the many knowledge gaps. Recent studies have shown that these gaps can be filled in by Platforms of Opportunity (PO) which create low-cost approaches. However, the number of wildlife tour operators actively collecting PO data related to distribution and relative abundance of marine fauna remains limited. In this study, we investigated whether effort-corrected data on marine megafauna facilitated by a wildlife tour operator afforded robust long temporal data (2011-2015). Sightings data, collected in the wider Mount’s Bay area (southwest Cornwall, UK), along with a GPS application, were collected to accurately record survey effort. In addition, radial sighting distances and detection curves were computed to explore the robustness of the data. Density maps of marine megafauna indicated that encounters occurred throughout the area in all three seasons but the temporal distribution was significantly different with numbers peaking in autumn. Odontocetes were mostly recorded during autumn, basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) and ocean sunfish (Mola mola) were more abundant during summer and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) were recorded occasionally. Our data showed that this shallow coastal environment is particularly important as a nursing area for harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). Risso’s dolphins (Grampus griseus) showed a high semi-residency pattern for adults with calves within one core-habitat. As such, the study provides important spatial and temporal baseline data that are essential for the protection of marine megafauna through the development of an ecological network of marine protected areas within UK waters. Although, data facilitated by wildlife operators have certain shortcomings we highlight that the protocols developed here secured efficient and precise data. Such collection protocols can be implemented on a larger scale, ultimately enhancing research monitoring efforts and marine ecosystem management.
Ecology and biodiversity research are underpinned by species richness patterns and their environmental drivers. However, a key topic in this discussion is the accuracy of these patterns which are greatly dependent on species detection probabilities. Due to variations in detection of species, true ecological patterns may be distorted. This is particularly true for subtidal macro-infaunal communities. We tested three hypothesized relationships between marine benthic macrofaunal diversity and depth using species richness per site estimated with a capture-recapture heterogeneity model that accounts for variable detection probabilities. These metrics were based on data from 42 replicated sites across the continental shelf of the Southern Benguela. Average detection probability decreased with greater depth but species richness increased along the same depth gradient. The conflation of these trends in observed diversity data resulted in a positively near-linear depth-diversity relationship, while accounting for variable species detection revealed a much stronger relationship. Ignoring species detection in ecosystems with imperfect detection could therefore distort species richness patterns, which has implications for ecological theory, management and conservation.
The Ministry of Tourism has created a 10-priority destination program in Indonesia. Pulau Seribu is one of the 10 destinations. Meanwhile, Bira Island is located in the Thousand Islands. To improve the performance of the Island, it is also necessary to increase the island of Bira. This mixed mode research, conducted for a year on the island of Bira to respond to the plans of the Ministry of Tourism. This study aims to discern Coastal Ecotourism in Bira Island, Indonesia. The results of data collection and tabulation show the existence of gap between the performances of the island at this time and expected. Ecotourism concept enhances CE performance on the island. In addition, the concept also creates jobs of women and anglers living along the coastline. Besides, environmental conservation efforts create marine ecotourism. Furthermore, their efforts also increase economic contribution to them and local governments. The economic improvement is accompanied by improved coastal environmental performance and improved performance of culinary and handicraft tourism.
Plastic waste can promote microbial colonization by pathogens implicated in outbreaks of disease in the ocean. We assessed the influence of plastic waste on disease risk in 124,000 reef-building corals from 159 reefs in the Asia-Pacific region. The likelihood of disease increases from 4% to 89% when corals are in contact with plastic. Structurally complex corals are eight times more likely to be affected by plastic, suggesting that microhabitats for reef-associated organisms and valuable fisheries will be disproportionately affected. Plastic levels on coral reefs correspond to estimates of terrestrial mismanaged plastic waste entering the ocean. We estimate that 11.1 billion plastic items are entangled on coral reefs across the Asia-Pacific and project this number to increase 40% by 2025. Plastic waste management is critical for reducing diseases that threaten ecosystem health and human livelihoods.
Corals and sponges create the most important biogenic habitats in the deep sea, and support ecosystems of incredible variety and biodiversity. In 2007, the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published the first peer‐reviewed report on the State of Deep Coral Ecosystems of the United States (Lumsden et al. 2007). The 2017 report on the State of Deep‐Sea Coral and Sponge Ecosystems of the United States updates information on deep‐sea coral ecosystems and management efforts to protect them over the last decade, and presents a first summary of information on U.S. deep‐sea sponge ecosystems. It consists of an introduction, six regional chapters with accompanying on‐line resources, and six spotlight chapters that highlight advances on crosscutting themes.
We describe the structure and historic landings of the Punta Abreojos fishing cooperative (Baja California Sur, Mexico) for the period between 2001 and 2015 to understand the dynamics of an economically and ecologically successful coastal fishing community according to catches and the direct income of fishers. A total of 21 commercial species were classified into three major groups: cultural resources, target resources and complementary resources. The most important resource in terms of total biomass was Paralabrax nebulifer(58.4%), followed by Panulirus interruptus and P. inflatus (13.6%). Seriola lalandi, Atractoscion nobilis, Caulolatilus princeps, Paralichtys californicus and P. woolmani made up minor proportions of the total biomass contributing 7.0%, 5.7%, 3.4% and 3.2% respectively. Haliotis fulgens and H. corrugata represented just 1.1% of the total biomass caught. Lobsters were the most profitable source of direct income for fisherman (77.5%), followed by the green and pink abalone (10.4%), barred sand bass (5.6%), white seabass (2.7%), California and speckled flounder (1.2%), yellowtail (1%) and whitefish (0.4%). The rest of the catch was composed of six species of finfish that represented 4.1% of the total catch biomass and 0.4% of the revenues from fishing.
This work provides a first clear base-line description of the fisheries in Punta Abreojos which implements a management program that aims to ensure the wellbeing of the fishers and the fishery. The cooperative has been successful in maintaining catch at levels considered optimal to sustain revenues and continued annual landings. A management and cooperative structure that allows for adaptive change whilst maintaining revenues of the fishers is testament to the stewardship of the community and the participatory management upon which the community is built. For this reason, Punta Abreojos should be considered an example of a successful small-scale fishing cooperative that other, less successful fishing groups, can learn from.
Floating oil, plastics, and marine organisms are continually redistributed by ocean surface currents. Prediction of their resulting distribution on the surface is a fundamental, long-standing, and practically important problem. The dominant paradigm is dispersion within the dynamical context of a nondivergent flow: objects initially close together will on average spread apart but the area of surface patches of material does not change. Although this paradigm is likely valid at mesoscales, larger than 100 km in horizontal scale, recent theoretical studies of submesoscales (less than ∼10 km) predict strong surface convergences and downwelling associated with horizontal density fronts and cyclonic vortices. Here we show that such structures can dramatically concentrate floating material. More than half of an array of ∼200 surface drifters covering ∼20 × 20 km2 converged into a 60 × 60 m region within a week, a factor of more than 105 decrease in area, before slowly dispersing. As predicted, the convergence occurred at density fronts and with cyclonic vorticity. A zipperlike structure may play an important role. Cyclonic vorticity and vertical velocity reached 0.001 s−1 and 0.01 ms−1, respectively, which is much larger than usually inferred. This suggests a paradigm in which nearby objects form submesoscale clusters, and these clusters then spread apart. Together, these effects set both the overall extent and the finescale texture of a patch of floating material. Material concentrated at submesoscale convergences can create unique communities of organisms, amplify impacts of toxic material, and create opportunities to more efficiently recover such material.
Biodiversity compensation policy programs such as offsetting are increasingly being expanded to the marine realm. We reviewed the literature on biodiversity offsets and related compensatory policy to determine where marine offset policies occur. We also identified the most important differences between marine and terrestrial systems that are likely to have implications for how offsetting is conducted. We found that 77 nations had compensatory policies that enabled the use of offsets in the marine environment. Two important differences between marine and terrestrial offsets emerged: (1) biophysical differences, such as greater marine connectivity, lower likelihood of restoration success, and data paucity, and (2) social or governance differences, such as a lack of private ownership and a greater probability of leakage. We conclude that without better evaluation and innovation, it is premature to conclude that marine offsets can be effective. The lessons learned from the development of terrestrial offsets provide an opportunity to improve their application to marine ecosystems.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have become recognized as important management tools for marine and coastal ecosystems in the last few decades. However, the theoretical underpinnings of MPA regimes have arguably not yet received sufficient attention. This paper attempts to remedy this by exploring how the Cultural Theory initiated by Dame Mary Douglas can provide a theoretical foundation for the current debates about the design of MPA regimes. It does so by firstly noting that the various types of MPA governance discussed in the literature correspond to the ways of organizing, perceiving and justifying social relations recognized in Cultural Theory. The article continues by setting out how Cultural Theory helps to explain when and why MPA regimes succeed or fail to reach their goals. In particular, the article highlights the practical importance of accommodating all ways of organizing and perceiving social relations in any MPA management plan. Finally, the paper suggests that further systematic, empirical work for assessing MPAs needs to be undertaken so as to corroborate the arguments advanced in this paper.

Higa Shunchô was one of the most prominent Okinawan historians of the 20th century.
Born in Nishibaru, Okinawa, he graduated from Okinawa Normal University with a teaching certificate, and worked for a time as an elementary school principal. After retiring from teaching, he joined the Okinawa Mainichi Shinbun as a reporter, and became involved with the socialist movement.
In 1923, Higa moved to Tokyo, where he studied under Yanagita Kunio and Iha Fuyu, becoming a researcher focusing on Okinawan history and culture. His research covered a wide range of topics, including Okinawan history, folklore, language, arts, social movements, literature, and economics. Higa was a contributor in the compilation of the Okinawa-go jiten ("Dictionary of the Okinawan language"), and produced a survey of the University of Hawaii's Sakamaki-Hawley Collection.
Following World War II, he helped found the Okinawans' Association (Okinawajin renmei) and Okinawa Cultural Association (Okinawa bunka kyôkai).
The Okinawa Prefectural Library maintains a collection of his notes, manuscripts, diaries, and other personal documents, roughly 5,900 items in total, as the "Higa Shunchô Collection" (Higa Shunchô bunko). These were a gift to the library from his wife, Higa Eiko, in 1983. Some of the most significant of these documents are also included in the five-volume "Collected Works of Higa Shunchô" (Higa Shunchô zenshû) published by the Okinawa Times in 1971.

I found this pretty intriguing, a strong beginning and although the reveal was different I was not blown away by it. And that is why I am teetering on raving about this book.
When a school girl in the small town of Cryer’s Creek goes missing without a trace, everyone is shocked. 16 year old Kendall finds it hard to cope with the empty desk in the classroom, but everyone else finds that life just goes one. That is until another teen goes missing. Kendall’s boyfriend. With her OCD at an all time high, Kendall is convinced that she is connected to the missing and hearing voices. Are they still alive?
The cover for this book is creepy, yet satisfyingly beautiful at the same time. I was drawn in by the girl on the front, she made me want to read this book.
At first, I though Kendall and the small town of Cryer’s Creek were both disjointed and weird. One part of me was put off by this. It was particularly alluring in any sense, however the other part of me was desperate to read on into this strangeness. And I am glad I listened to this part.
The beginning got stronger and stronger, as the mystery became bigger and Kendall became more and more invested. I found myself wanting to unveil what had happened, and I like it when a book does that to you. A good mystery unfolds from that. Although I found myself not getting along with Kendall as a character, it didn’t put me off the read.
The final reveal, the bit I was desperate for, did not wow me as much as it should have. Although completely different to anything I could have guessed, and normal something I would rave about, I was not particularly surprised or shocked and I feel that may have been a it of a let down.
An interesting read, that kept me wanting more from the strange characters and weird town.

Is it just me or does everyone else have a billion issues with the game while I have maybe 2 or 3 very minor bugs at most?
I play with the same team every time, some in the team a riddled with bugs, others are getting very few
Not sucking dick, just not being a hard ass about people messing up at their first attempt. Let them breathe
Really though come on, they are not a small indie dev. They have the funds, connections, and knowledge of game design to put out something much more polished than this.
Bugs encountered tonight:
Lost parts of my power armour in ‘feed the people event glitch’.
Friend stuck in power armour (has been for days, he is just a leg and hands and isn’t able to interact with any workstations etc.
Got stuck in scenery in another event.
Disconnected and couldn’t rejoin team.
Item disappearing when placing in my camp, went outside and everything was on the roof.
Picked up 3 legendary guns, had to completely close game down and reopen before they appeared in inventory.
These all happened in a 3 hour play session.. game is honestly a joke. I am a huge Bethesda fan and look forward to new elder scrolls and fallout games more than any other. I take annual leave
whenever a new one of their games drops.. I love these games, bugthesda is an amazing game dev. But this is just bullshit.
Have you seen the code snippets being pulled out of the game? The scorched beast are reskinned Skyrim dragons with the same behaviour and ai, and the code has references to fallout 4 all through it. They couldn’t even be bothered covering their tracks... because of fans like you who will take any shit cake fed to them.
You have awful luck or you are making shit up or the pc version is completely broken compared to console if that happened to you in a single night of fo76 because even the Xbox beta wasn't that bad.
Not making any of that up, one of my friends in my team rage quit tonight, said he was done for now and will try again in a few months. Was yelling expletives and cursing Bethesda. Never heard him so angry about a game. Team of 4 playing on pc. Note these are just the bugs I experienced (except the pa bug), my team mates had their own laundry list of glitches.
PvP is shit.. needs pvp only servers with no slap 👋 damage system.
Where is the fun in doing this daily, at this point the game just becomes a boring chore
It's weird, man. Everyone always says nobody talks to them... I have at least 50% of people respond. (PC, maybe it's platform trends?)
I ran a bunch of missions over the last few days, even teaming up with randoms.. none of them talked. I was talking to them and they emote back but no one talks. Only talked with 1 person since the launch
I stay on area chat, personally. Which means if you're still on auto(default) you can't hear me(as joining a team switches you to team).
I also stay on area chat, just everyone has their mic off
Honestly how is any of this stuff even remotely scary? Or are you guys role playing being scared? Not dissing, just confused?! With slap damage pvp there is no reason to run from any player in the game
Love this game but damn it is broken af
What a sad subreddit this is :( bunch of circle jerking losers
I see it more as celebrating a great game.
Yes it’s a great game... that was released 8 years ago
There are so many other amazing games, maybe vote for something innovative or interesting that could do with the recognition.
nah, he was just pranking yah
There's a patch coming out on Monday that's supposed to help stability issues.
Interesting, here’s hoping it’s actually a patch this time and I don’t have to redownload the entire game again
Whaaaa... I did not know this!!!
It's an interesting game to say the least. Sometimes I'll be having the time of my life exploring the beautiful open world, doing quests, hanging out with the (Surprisingly) non toxic player base and finding interesting stories around the game world. Then there are other times where I'll want to tear my hair out at some of the strange design choices and annoying bugs.
I ran into griefers today. Was doing an event with two guys, hoard of scorched type thing. Using my tommy gun, one of the guy jumped infront of my gun intentionally then they killed me. Ok that sucks. Teabagged my corpse until I respawned. Chose not to get revenge. Lost lots of good junk (copper, ballistic fibre etc). So I went to another event which was following round a robot. The same two guys tracked me down and spent the next ten minutes blocking the robot from going down it’s preset path, event timer ran out and I failed the event. Griefers ran around me teabagging again. I logged off..
That's really annoying but seeing so many people having this problem they should patch it soon, I hope. He should spawn back after 15min,it'd be great
Yeah I gave up.. hoping they patch it. Just means I can’t progress the overseer missions for now
Well, this is the last quest so apart from the closure you're not missing anything right now
Ah nice, good to know 👍
I am, if I can. I mean, I'm on PC and there is as of yet no update. I hope they don't give me the update like right before launch because that shit takes 2 hours to bloody well download. I'm getting nervous. Isn't the PC patch supposed to be out by now? ugh
2 hours!! mine take 22 hours :(
That’s a negative. My group noticed this right away and tested it again on last beta. First time was accidental I was crafting turrets at his base and he ran out of the materials needed but I thought I was using mine. Ended up dropping him my mats so I could continue building up a perimeter at his base. At end of beta I had around 100 wood friend came over started building some wood walls and ran out of materials. Sucks cuz I needed the wood to make food I was starving.
So much misinformation about this. I mentioned that I had teammates building at my base and using my materials and a bunch of people commented saying it doesn’t work like that.. confusing
I actually listen to nothing but rap/hip hop. I’m sure I’ve heard his music but the name just isn’t ringing a bell for me
Check this track, but listen to the whole thing... great track
Damn yeah that is pretty good. I’ll start looking him up now. I think I’ve definitely heard some of him before but the name was just lost on me for some reason. Admittedly it takes a while for some of the younger guys to grow on me. I’m gonna sound like “back in my day” but I genuinely don’t like a lot of the new style rappers so sometimes I ignore new stuff until I can’t anymore lol
I get that, I’m old school too ;)
Also you’d prob like four owls.. uk hip hop beasts
High focus records is full of excellent artists
I think it's only in the game files. Or are there arrows you can craft at some workbench?
There’s an exotic weapon perk card and the guy has a bow on the picture on the card
Don't use any greymarket cd key websites in general.
I’ve been using cdkeys for years, never had any issues. Literally saved hundreds of $$$
You’ll be fine, they’ve refunded a few games for me. No questions asked
Did you make this account only to post in Fallout subs?
Yes I did
Funny thing is I’ve been loving this, been playing with friends and just having fun, have made a base, love the environment, can’t wait for the launch to really get into it. Have played about 12 hours so far and it’s really enjoyable. Should prob note I no longer play single player games, been that way for a few years now. Co-op online is my favourite type of game and I’m excited to play a fallout title with friends finally :D
Already had lots of good laughs and experiences which included one of our friends in our team going wanted and our own team hunting him down haha
Is it possible for teammates to open locked doors on your base? Would like to lock off my own room in my base if possible :D
It doesn’t matter where your camp machine is at...if they’re on your team, they can build when they’re in your little green circle. Also, when they build, they’re using their junk...not yours. From my personal experience.
Really? I was sure they were using my junk last beta. Will test when game goes live I guess
Feel free to test yourself as well but I can also confirm it's their (the builders) resources not yours (the owner).
Nice! Good to know
The thing with Intelligence more so than others is that a lot of the perks don't need to be equipped 24/7 and can be situationally swapped in and out. So if you're playing that way, which I intend to, putting in the extra points is kind of a waste and stops you from using more useful things that help in combat.
Excellent point.. I probably have but enough into int already now you mention that

Shingles Virus Causes Pancreas Problems
As most people know, the varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a herpes virus, which causes both chickenpox and shingles.
Well, as it turns out, a new study showed that VZV can cause a serious, possibly life-threatening condition called Acute Pancreatitis. WebMD describes the disease in the following manner:
“Acute pancreatitis can result in bleeding into the gland, serious tissue damage, infection, and cyst formation. Severe pancreatitis can also harm other vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys.” (See WebMD, last reviewed on May 15, 2013.)
Dr. Zhen Wang and colleagues wrote that “acute pancreatitis should be considered in VZV patients who complain of abdominal pain, especially in the epigastric area. Early detection and proper treatment are needed to prevent the condition from deteriorating further and to minimize mortality.” (See The World Journal of Gastroenterology on December 21, 2014) Dr. Wang is from the Cancer Institute, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China.
In the study mentioned above, Dr. Wang wrote further that “Although the mechanism of pancreatitis with herpes zoster is still unknown, VZV may remain latent in posterior sensory nerve roots that contain fibers from both skin and abdominal viscera, including the pancreas.” (1) This is just one reason the TargetShingles Team believes in helping the immune system to target the latent VZV.
To do that, there are a number of treatments on the market. However, there is only one remedy that is both natural and effective. That remedy is called Novirin.
Novirin has a natural antiviral formula that was designed to help the immune system target the latent form of the Varicella Zoster Virus. The formula was also shown to be effective against herpes viruses in two separate post-marketing clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines, which is one reason the TargetShingles Team recommends this product.
The formula of Novirin was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the CBCD. The studies showed that it is effective against the herpes family of viruses. The clinical studies were published in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, the first, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs. Study authors wrote that, “individuals infected with (herpes viruses) … reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment ….”
The study authors also wrote that, “we observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms.”

Piers Morgan has branded the "brutal" backlash Roxanne Pallett has experienced following her "Celebrity Big Brother" stint as "a witch hunt".
The former "Emmerdale" actress has been slated by the public and quit both her radio show and upcoming pantomime performance after she falsely accused Ryan Thomas of punching her in the house, before later admitting she "got it wrong".
But Piers feels "a bit sorry for" the ex-"Waterloo Road" star, and has given her some words of wisdom about what to do next.
Piers told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "I think she made a big mistake, shouldn't have done what she did, and I told her, "Go away, clear your head and come back and start again".
"In the end it's a TV show. What she did was not smart and she knows it and I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for her. I think it's now become a witch hunt. It's brutal."
The "Good Morning Britain" presenter did admit the star "got herself into this mess", but has called for people to "calm down".
He explained: "I know Roxanne a bit and I don't feel sorry for in the sense she got herself into this mess and I think she played it very badly.
"I think she knows how badly she played it and I think the scale of abuse she's now getting is beginning to get a bit much. People should calm down.
"She had to leave that show. She's lost her pantomime gig, she's lost her radio show. Everyone just wants to wipe down and extinguish and it's got a bit brutal."
Ryan won "CBB" last night (10.09.18) and admitted he felt like a "scared little boy" when Roxanne made the allegation against him, because he feared for his career and reputation.

Where the magic happens! Nicole Kidman shares a sneaky video of husband Keith Urban laying down tracks for a new song
The Osacar-winning actress is a supportive force in her musician husband Keith Urban's music career.
And Nicole Kidman has shared a sneaky video of herself watching her husband lay down tracks for a new song.
The 51-year-old took to her Instagram Story on Friday, sharing a short clip of herself watching her beau working with a producer.

Where the magic happens! Nicole Kidman shares a sneaky video of husband Keith Urban in the studio laying down tracks for a new song
She appears to whisper something to the camera but stops to capture a Keith sharing a brief conversation with a producer.
The musician can be seen flashing a peace hand sign to Nicole as she filmed in what appears to be their Sydney home.
Nicole captions the video: 'Just hanging out watching music being made.'
'Just hanging out watching music being made': Nicole and husband Keith appeared to be within their home as the musician worked on his music (Pictured at Golden Globes in January)
This comes after Nicole admitted she was 'mortified' after she inadvertently dodged award-winner Rami Malek at the Golden Globe Awards when he attempted to chat to her on-stage.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight this week, Nicole defended the awkward gaffe: 'We’re really good friends! I just did not feel his hand on my back.'
'I was mortified,' the Big Little Lies star said, adding: 'I love that man. He's so gentle and softly spoken. He's a darling.'
She claimed that they were 'both in a bit of a daze' on stage but had later spoken about the awkward encounter via email and laughed it off.
Shut down: Rami Malek was awkwardly dodged by Nicole Kidman on stage when he attempted to interact with her at the Golden Globes after Bohemian Rhapsody's big win
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Rami explained the two were actually old friends.
'I've known her for many years, despite as it may seem from that video,' he told the chat show host.
'So I thought I could easily go up and say hi, but in a moment like that, it was very awkward. I have a feeling this is probably haunting me on the internet.'
Cringe alert! In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Rami explained the two were actually old friends. 'I've known her for many years, despite as it may seem from that video,' he told the chat show host.
While he didn't connect with Nicole, Rami said he did spend time with her husband, Keith Urban, during the evening.
'I got love from Keith that night, her husband, so that was nice. He's a massive Queen fan.'
Rami, who was named Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody, also spoke out publicly about the accidental snub, admitting it was rather 'awkward'.

Eighth Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game Since 1979
Bears 20, Eagles 12: NFC Divisional Playoff: December 31, 1988
In the game forever known internationally as “The Fog Bowl”, the Bears would host a home playoff game for the fourth year in a row, and controlled home field advantage in the NFC playoffs after finishing the regular season with a 12-4 record. The Bears were on fire from 1984-1988, posting the most wins in history over a five year period (later broken in the 2000′s by both New England and Indianapolis).
The 1988 regular season was filled with strife for the Bears. It was the first after the team had lost star players such as Wilber Marshall and Willie Gault to contract disputes, Walter Payton and Gary Fencik to retirement, and Richard Dent and William Perry to injury. Head Coach Mike Ditka suffered a heart attack and had to miss a game, and Chicago had suffered a particularly demoralizing loss at Minnesota in the final week of the season. Yet at the same time the Bears were finding new stars like running back Neal Anderson, and veterans such as Dennis Gentry, Mike Tomczak, Dave Duerson and Dan Hampton had solid years as usual. Additionally, linebacker Mike Singletary was voted the defensive player of the year.
Brewing like the clouds destined to blow in off Lake Michigan was also the ongoing feud between Ditka and Eagles coach Buddy Ryan. Emotion was off the charts prior to the game.
The day dawned bright, sunny and remarkably warm for New Years’ Eve in Chicago with temperatures approaching the 50′s. While visibility still existed on the field, the Bears scored on a 64-yard pass from Tomczak to receiver Dennis McKinnon and on a 4-yard inside trap by Anderson. During this time, Philadelphia could only muster three field goals. Late in the second quarter, a fog blew in off the lake, completely descending upon the field, and fans in the stands down to the players on the field couldn’t see a thing–literally. Coordinators in the box couldn’t see what was happening, coachs couldn’t see into the middle of the field, and players couldn’t see more than 10 yards ahead of themselves at field level.
Luckily for the Bears, they scored their touchdowns while it was possible, because in the second half it was clearly impossible. After halftime, the Eagles and Bears tacked on an additional field goal each, and the final score was 20-12 Bears.
The Fog Bowl has been featured on NFL Network’s Top 10 Bad Weather Games, and apparently Eagles fans still feel that they were robbed of a victory because of the weather. I didn’t know the weather was responsible for scoring and giving up points.

PopCap teams with Taito for mobile games service
Pop Tower for Japan will add RPG elements to casual classics
PopCap has teamed with Taito to provide a dedicated mobile social games service for the Japanese market.
Pop Tower will host new versions of hits like Chuzzle, Bejewelled and Zuma, adding metagame and RPG elements for a new audience.
"Social games on mobile devices looks set to dominate gaming worldwide and Japan is already ahead of the curve," commented James Gwertzman, PopCap's VP for Asia Pacific
"PopCap is about identifying the curve and getting ahead of it. It's not about being 'trendy' or 'first'; it's about being the best; taking the talent and time to create something genuinely innovative. The Japanese game market is the second largest in the world, but historically, few Western companies have succeeded here."
Due for release in Japan in the first quarter of next year, Pop Tower is the first product from PopCap's Tokyo office, and is created in conjunction with Taito, a division of Square Enix.
"The social game market is undergoing remarkable growth, and we have high hopes for this partnership," added Akihito Shoji, Taito's SVP of Content.
"Mobile social games are a critical part of our overall strategy, with much of our resources devoted to the design and management of games that are not only fun pastimes, but also foster interaction and communication between players.
"We're confident that our mobile social market experience and PopCap's strong casual properties is a winning combination, and one that will deliver a whole new experience to the game users."

Ariana Grande Weight Loss: Her Shocking Weight Loss Sparks Concerns Among Fans
Family members are worried about Ariana Grande’s health due to her recent weight reduction. The source claimed that although Grande has long been a vegan, she has “taken it to extremes.”
“She subsists on the bare minimum – like smoothies, kale, seeds, nuts, broccoli and tofu,” The source said. “It’s gotten to the point where her shoulder blades are poking out. There’s very little flesh on her figure.”
Ariana has recently been busy in the UK filming the musical Wicked, and when she was leaving a jazz club, observers said she appeared gaunt. But in a recent open TikTok video, Grande addressed the worries over her weight reduction.
Take a look at more related articles of celebrities we’ve published:

- James Corden Weight Loss: Secret To Massive 8-Pound Weight Loss
“I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little bit about what it means to be a person with a body, and to be seen and to be paid such close attention to,” she stated.
Despite being “on a lot of antidepressants,” “drinking on them, and eating poorly,” Grande revealed that people have been comparing her present body to her past one.
She added that people should feel less at ease making comments about other people’s bodies, adding that there are “many different ways” to appear healthy and beautiful: “Healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy, I don’t… We just shouldn’t. We should really work towards not doing that as much.”
She’s Getting In Shape For The Glinda Role
The new musical Wicked will feature Grande as Glinda The Good Witch, which excites Grande’s fans. She recently uploaded a picture of herself with a beautiful pink gown, matching crown, and matching wand. Reneé Rapp, Taylor Louderman, Dove Cameron, and Amanda Seyfried were among the great actresses Grande defeated for the coveted part.
Although Grande’s weight loss has drawn criticism, she embraces her body image and urges others to do the same. She remarked in a TikTok video: “There’s no right or wrong way to deal with this stuff.”

Just to let you all know, I have already bought tickets to volunteer at Haiti from June 8 - 19. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Ever since the devastating earthquake in 2010, the amount of poverty, jobless and hungry people, and spread of cholera has risen. I also want to shift my direction as to where to donate. The people in Haiti need much help and I will go there to volunteer at an orphanage, so I can tell you about their living conditions and what they need help the most.
I am planning on keeping a daily journal when I go there, and will share it to all of you when I get back. Also, I am planning on making a documentary as well, since honestly, not many people have made documentaries about Haiti after the earthquake.
The trip I am going to is supported by Global Family Philanthropy. To learn more about volunteering and donating to Haiti, click on their site to learn more.

Courtside View: The evolution of KG
He had 26 points and nine rebounds in only 27 minutes during last Saturday's ill-fated matinee against New Jersey. He had 22 points and eight rebounds in the much happier occasion of Friday night's 96-86 victory in Philadelphia.
His shooting stroke is smooth. His stride is fluid. His focus seems refined.
He has been as good as many thought he could be this season coming off major knee surgery and closing in on his 34th birthday.
What he has not been is the Garnett that was a 20/10 player for nine straight seasons in Minnesota. He has not shown the ability to take over games defensively like he did during Boston's 2008 championship run.
The question: Will Kevin Garnett playing at this level, at this point of his career, be enough to sustain the Celtics during a long playoff run?
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen may have been the stars of the 2008 NBA Finals, but for most of the championship season Garnett was the motor that powered the machine. His intensity was unrivaled in the league. His ability to intimidate and dominate defensively anchored the team's help scheme and made him the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year.
When he went down in February last season, Boston's hopes of back-to-back titles went with him. He never came back for the playoffs, and the Celtics didn't make it out of the second round.
But now Garnett is back. Only he's not quite the same Garnett. His game is more measured, more finesse, and, yes, a tad slower. The technique is there. The timing is increasingly precise. But the raw power and aggression that made him one of the most dynamic players of a generation is lagging.
After 15 seasons, more than 41,000 minutes, and three straight injury-plagued campaigns, it is probably gone for good.
That does not mean Garnett cannot be a good - even great - player for several years to come. It just means he will be a different player. That's something with which both he and Celtics fans are going to have to come to grips.
Like a pitcher who once relied on a fastball in the high 90s, and had to learn how to paint corners late in his career, Garnett is going through a transformation. It has been an arduous, often painful, one at times this season. But, at last, he seems to have found the balance between what he can still pull out of a Hall of Fame repertoire, and what he must develop to put off that Hall of Fame induction a few more years.
Offensively is where he is ahead of the curve. Though his 14.5 points per game are the lowest since his rookie season, his 54.4 shooting percentage is a career best. His perimeter screens were key to Rajon Rondo's explosion in the second half Friday night. At 11 shots per game, he has become Boston's most efficient weapon.
Defensively is where his game continues to evolve. Perhaps the single most important aspect of the team's defense during the title run two years ago was how Garnett got out to the perimeter on pick-and-rolls and recovered to the paint. That specific ability helped make that Celtics team a shutdown squad for the ages.
But against younger, faster players this season, Garnett has had to rely on more guile than athleticism just to stay with his man - let alone cover for everyone else. For the first time, teams have tried to exploit matchups against him late in games. As well as he scored and rebounded against New Jersey last Saturday, he had trouble sticking with lesser offensive talents on pivotal possessions in the doomed fourth quarter.
Yet there may be comfort in that a part of Garnett appears to get it. It can sometimes be hard to decipher through his postgame quips and theatrical antics. Even some teammates seem a little unsure of what to expect out of Garnett when he isn't constantly raging toward the brink.
The notion of Garnett pacing himself feels like an inherit contradiction. Yet he and the coaching staff seem to have realized that is the best way to get the best out of him after 82 regular-season games.
Pierce said of Garnett Wednesday night: "In our system, he is the biggest key. That's why we can't advance without him, especially in playoffs."
They know they will still rely on him heavily this spring. They are just going to have to get used to doing it in a different way than everyone has always done throughout his career.

Click on the above image to download the 'Gary Miller' presskit containing a Press Release and the following images in High Resolution : -
With a career spanning over 3½ decades, internationally-acclaimed County Durham singer-songwriter and musician Gary Miller continues to move forward with increasing momentum...
In 2018, his award-winning 50-track triple CD and theatre project 'Mad Martins' was released to widespread critical acclaim : -
"Most Ambitious Release", ‘Best of 2018’ Awards (Shite 'n' Onions, USA)
"To say that this is a masterpiece is still an understatement" 10/10 (FRaME Music)
"A veritable Triumph!"***** (RnR Magazine, UK)
"A magnificent piece of work" (folking.com)
"An extraordinary work" (FRUK)
He followed this with a string of Singles and an E.P. taken from his 'From Coalfield to Battlefield' project exploring the history of the Durham Light Infantry; an album is due to follow. Meanwhile, 'Mad Martins' is currently in the process of undergoing a restructure and relaunch, including the addition of several new songs and spoken word pieces, as well as an animated film.
Gary is currently completing work on his epic Folk-Rock Opera 'The Butcher Baronet', based on the legend of Sir John Duck (“Durham’s Dick Whittington"), having previously donated an exclusive recording of the title song to a film documentary of the same name (also released as a Single), and is due to be the subject of a documentary film himself, entitled ‘One Gary Miller’ by Lone Pine Pictures.
As founder, frontman and principle songwriter of renowned folk-rock band The Whisky Priests, Miller was the driving force behind the band's celebratory 'Bloody Well Back!' Reunion Tour in 2018 and it's accompanying ‘Bloody Well Everything! (The Complete Works 1985-2000)’ retrospective 12-disc CD Box Set ("An exceptional body of work from a great band that has been much missed.” - RnR Magazine, UK).
Since 2017, Gary's partner, artist, designer and illustrator Helen Temperley has worked in close collaboration with him on all of his projects and they recently devised and began working in partnership together on a highly ambitious multi-media project entitled 'The Weavings of The Black Wool'. Furthermore, the pair established 'Nellie's Temple', a band project showcasing Helen's songwriting skills, with her as lead vocalist and Gary as musical director, arranger and band leader. 'Venus Through the Sycamores', the debut Single by Nellie's Temple, has been released in October 2021, as a teaser for the band's debut album, scheduled for 2022.
Also planned for 2022, is the release of Miller's latest solo album, 'Northern Grit (The Good, The Bad & The Greedy)', featuring a batch of songs written for various commissions and assorted side projects, as well as the debut album and tour from his latest band project 'Gary Miller's Big Picture', which has been heralded by the release in October 2021 of the Single 'A Boy's Own Story'.
"As a song poet, there are few in the world today to match him." (Green Man Review, USA)
"Gary has a real flair for conjuring imagery from the past with a gritty reality. He possesses an inbuilt and empathic understanding of social history, which is voiced in direct tell-it-like-it-is language (not lacking in literacy or lyrical expression, however), boosted by a keen sense of melodic invention, manifested in canny tunes and often seriously catchy choruses. There’s also a strong regional (north-east) folk sensibility within Gary’s songwriting that’s key to the memorability of his songs." (FRUK).
"Miller actually writes great songs with words that mean something and are usually substantially rooted. His ability as a songwriter who captures folk sentiment and communal memory must now be unquestioned." (Folk Roots, UK).
“A writer of cleverly composed mini-epics. Gary Miller has managed to produce some excellent images of life in the past and the present day.” (Rock ‘N’ Reel, UK).
"Miller has the glorious knack of penning irresistible choruses with a lyrical depth beyond the norm and a strong commercial ear, his worth as a composer ought to be worth its weight in gold." (Folk on Tap, UK).
"One of the most literate and insightful songwriters in the world of folk-rock; his writing has always been exemplary. He touches on every level of human emotion. And his melodies are equally as brilliant as his prose." (All Music Guide, USA).
"One of the best lyricists of our time." (Backline, UK).
"Miller has an enviable range." (Musician, UK).
“Forceful biting lyrics. In years to come (his) songs will be documents of our social history.” (Folktalk, UK).
“Cracking songs which show a good eye for gritty and earthy reality. Images, sympathies and genuine true life are painted with such a vast range of colours – why hasn’t Gary brought out a book of poetry?” (The Modern Dance, UK).
“A fine songwriter, offering skillfully drawn portraits of characters and life.” (Outlook, UK).
“The feel of Gary Miller’s lyrics carries traditional sensibilities. His original lyrics are as appealing as the melodies to which they’re set” (Dirty Linen, USA).
“The songs of Gary Miller are modern folk music, no less.” (Folk On Tap, UK).
“Words with powerful imagery by a powerful wordsmith. He has the ability to draw on aspects of his own experience and adapt and develop these into strong story lines - these are songs to identify with. His eloquant and impassioned delivery speaks to the lost innocent in us all. I’d like to hear a range of singers tackling Gary’s great songs.” (Folk Buzz, UK).
"The man has folk roots that spring from the coaly earth of the North East - a rare quality indeed." (Conrad Jay Bladey, Hutman Productions, USA).

AfterShock Comics has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and has released a statement to CBR News about the filing
AfterShock Comics, the independent comic book company that launched in 2015, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the district of Central California. This news follows recent reports that the company has been behind on paying a number of its creators.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is what is known as a "reorganization" bankruptcy, which means that the company can continue to operate while it deals with the fact that it cannot currently pay all of its creditors. A number of famous companies have gone through Chapter 11 and emerged from it, with Marvel Comics being the most famous example in the world of comics. However, plenty of companies have been unable to make it through bankruptcy, as well (Comico, Crossgen and Chaos, as three comic book company examples just beginning with the letter C).
AfterShock's filings reveal that the company has $10-50 million in assets, but it also has $10-50 million in debts. The two biggest creditors liste in the filing were their UK distributor, AS Comics, to which AfterShock owed $514,326, and its Canadian printer, Imprimerie L’Empreinte, to which it owed $398,887. However, there are a number of other companies and people listed in the filing.
Rive Gauche Television, a sister company of AfterShock that had merged with the company in 2020 to form AfterShock Media, a way to better translate AfterShock comic book properties to television and film, also declared bankruptcy and filed Chapter 11.
CBR News reached out to AfterShock for a comment, and this is what the company supplied CBR News:
After much deliberation, AfterShock Comics LLC has voluntarily filed a petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code to enable the Company to restructure its senior secured facility as well as being in a position to secure additional financing to continue to operate its business.The intent of this decisive action, among other considerations, is to allow the Company to maintain operations in the ordinary course including, but not limited to, paying employees and continuing existing benefits programs,, upholding and following through on commitments to contracted creators, as well as vendors who supply goods and services related to marketing, merchandising and advertising. AfterShock will continue to operate, publish and market comic books and graphic novels to supply to direct market retailers and mass accounts through its distributors in accordance with all federal, state and local guidelines.We regret the inconvenience this has caused to those we work with and may cause in the near future. However, we believe that going forward this will allow us to best position the Company for long-term success.
AfterShock Comics was founded by former Negative Burn editor Joe Pruett and former Marvel and DC editor Mike Marts, along with Lee Kramer, Jon Kramer, and Michael Richter. It was Jon Kramer who signed the Chapter 11 filing. Marts had previously left AfterShock earlier this year to become the Editor-in-Chief at Mad Cave Comics. Marts was replaced by former DC editor, Brian Cunningham.
The company won the 2017 Diamond Comic Distributors Gem Award New Publisher of the Year. It has published comics by some of the biggest names in comics, like Brian Azzarello, Marguerite Bennett, Garth Ennis, Cullen Bunn, Mark Waid and more. Recently, one of the company's writers, Christopher Cantwell wrote a Twitter thread about the artist he was working with on a series he co-created not being paid by AfterShock.

Foods that burn fat are foods that help increase metabolism rates. When metabolism rate comes up in a conversation, people often think of a type of chemical in the body that helps them lose weight. You will often see tiny people have a high metabolism because this chemical has such a high rate in their bodies. This in return increases their heart rate, sort of similar to running. In order for you to lose weight over a period of time, your metabolism should be as high as it can be. The good news is that you can eat certain foods that will actually help increase your metabolism and in return help you shed those pounds efficiently. This is great for the person who loves to eat. Finding foods that burn fat is easier than you might think.
Don’t mistake this technique as an excuse to quit your exercise regime though. You still need 30 minutes of exercise each day to feel your strongest. You can get this by bicycling, lifting weights, or running quickly. I’ll describe some of the foods that burn fat that will help get your body up and moving and feeling healthy so you can do your exercise regime. The most important part of dieting is eating the right foods. It is shown that a diet is far more important than exercise when trying to lose weight quickly. You will want to exercise just so you get enough sunlight and get out there in the world and not sitting all day. If you didn’t already know it, the sun is great for Vitamin D. This also helps increase your want to get out there and do something. This is why many people suffer from the disease S.A.D. when they don’t get enough sunlight in the winter time. A cure for that is to get a S.A.D. light. There is a cure for everything, but you need to implement the cure into your daily life for it to work properly.
Metabolism tends to slow down with age if you don’t monitor it enough. The older you get, the more your body tends to break down. The younger you are, the greater the chance that you have a high metabolism rate. There is some hope for older people though, you can get the metabolism you always wanted just by eating certain kinds of foods that burn fat. You can implement them right into your diet. You might be eating them already without even realizing how much they can benefit your entire body. Chances are, if you are eating a balanced diet, you will already be getting enough food in you to increase your metabolism to a healthy rate. In case you are not eating a balanced diet, here are some great foods that burn fat that you can sneak into your diet in order to get stronger and thinner.
Eating food that burns fat like whole grains is like making your body work overtime or go for a 5-mile run in the morning. It gets your body breaking down the food and in return keeping your metabolism running strong. Think of it like this, your stomach should be getting the equivalent of 30 minutes of exercise a day the same way that you should be. Feed it these foods that burn fat to keep it running strong. Eating meats that don’t have a lot of fat in them is another great way to test your body. Dairy is another important one that you will want to have every day. You can get this by yogurt, milk, or even low-fat cheese.
The Chinese know how to keep their weight off because they drink lots of Green Tea. You will have to search the entire country of China before you see a fat person. They will often be the ones who like to eat too much foreign food. The good news is that, if you live in the United States, the foreign food you will be eating will be their native food. The United States is known for one of the countries with the highest rate of obese people. Try not to be like them and eat these foods that burn fat daily if you can. They are all foods that burn fat like nothing else. The last food I would recommend is hot peppers. If you can’t handle hot peppers though, there are plenty of other foods that burn fat that will keep your metabolism running like a horse.
Losing 17 Pounds Quickly With Thermogenic Fat Burners
There are a lot of people who find losing weight an almost impossible task. What they don’t know is that thermogenic fat burners are readily available to assist in such task.
Adding just a little thoughtful planning into what and when you are eating, it is amazing how fast those extra fat is disappearing off your body. And this without the need to exercise!
Rule No. 1: No Food Before Bed Time
University undergraduate students were surveyed regarding their eating habits. Results confirmed the correlation between the higher chance of gaining extra pounds and those who eat late at nights.
Another study shows that late night hearty meals raise the level of your triglycerides, affecting the metabolism in a way that switches on the body’s tendency to gain weight.
We all know that if we eat and consume 400 calories, for instance, they can all be burned into energy when you follow up the meal with substantial physical activity. Another thing happens, however, if you eat and consume a certain amount of calories before bed. With no physical activity done afterward, the calories transform into fat and pile up on your body.
Rule No. 2: Always Eat Breakfast
It has been proven that those who have breakfast regularly have less body mass compared to those who don’t make breakfast their routine. This doesn’t necessarily mean you can indulge yourself during breakfast, of course.
Eating breakfast actually gives people the motivation to be active physically; skipping breakfast does not necessarily cuts down the consumed calorie count. In fact, most people indulge themselves during lunch or even dinner, thinking they deserve it after no breakfast.
Rule No. 3: Take Thermogenic Fat Burners
There are certain types of food which actively stop your body from converting food into fat and piling it on your body. These food do not work as miracles to slim you down, of course but they work wonders in managing your weight.
An element found in chili peppers called Capsaicin is an example of thermogenic fat burner. It works by increasing the rates of your metabolism.
Within your body, Phenq raises fat oxidation in the lipoid tissue, promoting the decrease of gastric fat. A survey done by a university shows that 5gr of Tabasco consumed 2 hours ealier can boost your rate of metabolism as much as 15%.
The good thing is, you don’t have to eat the hot ingredient and simply take pills containing capsicum extract, for your thermogenic needs.
The amount of calories a thermogenic fat burner pill can burn is as many as those burned in 25 minute jogging. Thermogenis fat burner users have testified to weight loss of as many as 5 to 9 pounds within their first week, or 10 days.
