The game series that defined the post-apocalyptic genre in video gaming, Fallout has become one of the most expansive and inclusive mashups of first-person-shooter, and RPG.
What’s on the Fallout Timeline?
This is the unofficial Fallout timeline for the popular (and ongoing) series of games. There are no novels, comics, or other tie-in material. And thankfully (for me) most of the games are released in chronological order. So that means that the list of Fallout media is pretty short and straightforward. But just in case you were wondering what is the best way to play the Fallout games in order, this is probably your best list. Though for those uninterested in playing retro games, we recommend simply starting with Fallout 3.
The game is set in an alternate reality where nuclear war broke out and left the world a barren wasteland. You get to wade through broken ruins of known cities like Washington D. C. or Las Vegas. Some people and animals have mutated and serve as the primary antagonists during the series. And even though this timeline is very short, the lore behind the Fallout games is massive. For a comprehensive outline of the lore behind the series, I recommend visiting this YouTube channel to learn more. Fallout 4 is relatively recent, so we can hope that we’ll see more Fallout games in the future. We hope you enjoy!

How Does the X-Guide® 3D System Work for Full-Arch Dental Implants?
The X-Guide® Dynamic 3D Navigation system is a revolutionary technology in the field of dental implants. It allows for precise and accurate placement of dental implants, resulting in better patient outcomes. At our Houston, TX facility, Dr. Patrick V. Nicosia utilizes the X-Guide system for full-arch dental implants, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment.
What is the X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation system?
The X-Guide system is a technology that uses 3D imaging and real-time navigation to guide the placement of dental implants. It provides a highly accurate and precise way of placing implants, leading to better patient outcomes. The system is designed to work with the latest CAD/CAM technology, allowing for optimal implant placement planning before the actual procedure.
How does the X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation system work?
The X-Guide system uses a small handheld device attached to the dental implant drill. This device provides real-time feedback to the dentist, allowing them to adjust the angle and depth of the drill as needed. The system uses 3D imaging to create a detailed map of the patient's mouth, which is then used to guide the placement of the dental implant.
What are the benefits of the X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation system for full-arch dental implants?
The X-Guide system provides several benefits for full-arch dental implants:
- It allows for highly accurate placement of the implants, less discomfort, and faster healing times.
- The system is minimally invasive, which can reduce the risk of complications and infection.
- The X-Guide system is easy to use, so dental professionals can quickly learn how to use it, leading to faster adoption and better patient outcomes.

Wayne County Supervisors are scheduled to vote Monday night on a two-part plan to create a county-run Emergency Medical Services (EMS) unit.
Phase one calls for two new ambulance buildings
The Finger Lakes Times reports the plan was approved last week by the Supervisors’ Public Safety Committee. Phase one calls for building a four-bay ambulance garage at the county complex on Route 31 in Lyons at a cost of $1.8 million.
The first phase would include building a three-bay garage to serve the northern part of the county. County officials hope to put that building in Sodus. It would cost $120,000 for the land and $1 million dollars for the building.
The county would then purchase four ambulances, stationing two in Lyons and one in Sodus. Each ambulance would cost $175,000 and they would be equipped at a cost of $119,200.
Phase two would include three-bay ambulance bases in Walworth and Rose. Each would house one ambulance. Officials believe it could be a challenge in the current job market to staff the ambulances.
Number of volunteer EMS squads falling, response time is long
The county currently has no EMS service of its own. It staffs so-called fly cars to assist volunteer EMS crews throughout the county. However, some of those services have disbanded or cut service in recent years. A 2020 report showed average ambulance response time in the county was 21 minutes. County officials would like to see that number drop to 15 minutes.
The startup cost of the service would be $5.5 million. The county has $1.1 million in American Rescue Plan money available and might be able to get more. The annual cost of the service would be about $6.2 million, but revenue from billing would lower the cost to $500,000 annually.
Supervisors meet Monday night at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Palmyra.

Saskatchewan’s government introduced a bill on Tuesday that will roll its 12 health regions into a single authority.
Meanwhile, unions representing health care workers were presenting their own proposals on how the province can lessen the impact that transition will have on patients.
The new bill comes as no surprise, as the decision was made months ago. Health Minister Jim Reiter says a single health authority will remove arbitrary geographical areas of responsibility and ensure community needs are advanced.
He said the new legislation will also allow the government to control compensation levels of those employed by the new health authority.
“While it’s important, I think, to remunerate appropriately so you get top-quality people, it’s also important that people understand these are tax dollars that we’re spending and we want to be careful how much we spend,” he said.
Three different unions came forward Tuesday with a call for a formal bargaining council structure to be put in place, in order “to help stabilize labour relations and negotiate with the new authority.”
Basically, SEIU-West, CUPE and SGEU are proposing they come to the bargaining table together.
“We’re going to work together to make sure our members are going to be represented by the unions that currently represent them,” said Gordon Campbell, president of the CUPE health care council.
Multi-union bargaining councils exist in other provinces. British Columbia and Nova Scotia operate under a similar structure.
All three unions are entering into a new round of negotiations, as their current contracts expire at month’s end. The unions charge that there are still questions remaining about health care funding in light of last week’s provincial budget.
SEIU-West president Barbara Cape said the three unions bargaining together will create efficiencies in terms of time and monetary resources. She also dismissed the idea the three unions — with more than 18,000 members between them — are posturing for any potential job action.
“We have to move beyond the notion of job action and strike clout. I think what the people behind us and our members are talking about is that we’re trying to participate in transformational change that benefits our patients, clients and residents,” she said.
Campbell said “certainly our members have great angst about where their jobs will lie in the future” and hopes negotiating with two other unions at the table can help alleviate some of that anxiety.
Reiter said the legislation “makes no changes as far as the unions are concerned” and that there is “no legislation changing sort of the current provisions” regarding unions.
He said it would be premature to agree to meet with all three unions at once, but hinted there will be major announcements — likely who will sit on the new health board and who will be named CEO — coming soon.

These questions are ways to assess the frequency of presenting symptoms (e.g., feeling sad, lacking energy, discomfort in social situations). The symptoms are what bring people to therapy. However, the cure for symptoms is examining the root causes. Getting to the root of a problem is complex, and it's the reason why it's difficult to answer, "How long is this going to take?" In my work, successful therapy is defined by attaining 3 goals.
Increased awareness of the self.
Before making real changes in your life, you have to better understand what changes need to happen. Part of that process is better understanding you. Everyone has their own behavioral patterns, relationship tendencies, stress management preferences, and a style in relating to others. Therapy helps the person gain insight into personal patterns.
Increased awareness of the other.
It's great to know why you do the things that you do, but life doesn't exist in a vacuum. Your behavior has an impact on others. The next step after increasing awareness of your behavior is making the connection to how your actions affect others. I'm talking about empathy again. I've written extensively about empathy, read a more detailed description here.
Seems natural. Gain awareness of yourself and others and you'll be good to go with relationships. Right? Not necessarily. Relationships are Gestalt-like, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Understanding relationships is more than understanding yourself and the other. Relationships are a source for psychological well-being. Unhealthy relationships are usually associated with increased stress and psychological problems, whereas those with healthy relationships tend to be happier and more confident. For a more in depth read on relationships, click here.
Increased awareness will inevitably lead to a decrease in presenting symptoms, which is what most people want. However, increased awareness leads to a fundamental change in our core self, which is what most people need.

Construction planned for several new businesses
Two fast food restaurants on Highway 50 East are among several commercial construction projects being planned in Carson City.
Weinerschnitzel will return to Carson City and a Dairy Queen is expected in front of Long’s Drugs, according to applications on file at the Carson City Community Development Department.
Tony Psarras of Reno, owner of Reno-Carson Construction, said he would like to start building the Weinerschnitzel restaurant by the end of March and have it open by the end of summer.
Psarras already built a Weinerschnitzel in Reno, between Kietzke Lane and Highway 395 on Mill Street. He said he builds the facilities and franchises the operations out to operators. Psarras said he plans to build several more in the Northern Nevada area.
A Weinerschnitzel that had operated in Carson City was demolished several years ago to make way for the Smith’s store. It was at the corner of William and Valley streets. The new restaurant would be on the south side of the 3300 block of Highway 50 East, near Albertson’s.
The Dairy Queen would be in front of Long’s Drugs, on the north side of the 3200 block of Highway 50 East, according to the application.
The city’s process allows a developer to have a proposed project reviewed by representatives of several city departments, from building to fire to streets, for compliance with codes, ordinances and regulations. The developer then has the opportunity to make any required changes to the plans before seeking a building permit, special use permit or other required approval.
Applications scheduled for reviews on Tuesday are an Albertson’s store proposed at 3660 North Carson Street, across College Parkway from Kmart, and a new church and school for First Christian Church, proposed for Imus Road, which runs north of Bonanza Drive just east of Highway 395 North.
Kragen Auto Parts, which recently closed its store at 2319 North Carson St., is considering building a store at 3479 South Carson St., where A&J Foreign Car Repair and Western Energetix are now located.
Kragen’s parent company, CSK Auto Inc., recently purchased Grand Auto and is in the process of converting Carson’s Grand Auto to a Kragen, as well.
A new building for Custom Office Supply & Furniture Inc. may be built at 2814 North Carson St., according to a Major Project Review application. The 13,410-square-foot building would be south of the Bank of the West branch at Carson Street and Nye Lane.
Custom Office Supply is currently at 1851 North Carson St.
And additional retail commercial space is being planned at the south end of the Kmart store. The site plan in the application shows four building pads.
One 5,000-square-foot pad would be close to Carson Street, south of the existing McDonald’s Restaurant. A 16,640-square-foot pad would be adjacent to the south end of Kmart. The remaining two pads, encompassing 39,560 and 18,800 square feet, would be south of the entrance lane running along the south end of the existing Kmart parking lot.
No additional entrance to the shopping center was shown on the site plan submitted with the application.

Just yesterday, a fabulously thoughtful young man, who has done more solid theological study than most, and keeps up with his role in a Reformed, evangelical congregation by offering leadership among youthful friends, sharing their pain and pointing them to the deeper things of God, came in the store with a very heavy heart. I, too, was not in the best frame of mind and the two of us just felt the weight of the world. We pondered how books might help kids catch a bigger glimpse of the Story of God, how a Christian worldview might impact the lives of his young friends, how the postmodern times of the new century might shape the development of his youth as they eventually mature into long term disciples of Christ. Being a faithful Christian–engaged in the real world, but not of it–is never easy. It certainly isn’t easy now.
And so, this good, good guy needs help. We all need help, of course, but those who work with younger folk—from the goofy tweeners to the hipster collegiates–need all the faithful assistance we can find. And, to be honest, some of our churchy literature is just a bit too shallow, can’t stand up to the needs of my friend and his youth group.
There has been a recent renaissance of thoughtful youth ministry stuff. You may have read in my monthly book review column a few years back my claim that The God Bearing Life was a paradigm-shifting book, and that youth ministry studies will never be the same. My little prediction has come true, as newer authors have called for a spirituality of youth ministry; books like Tony Jones’ Soul-Shaping offer exercises in prayerfulness and serious studies like Christian Smith’s Oxford University Press book, Soul Searching, lament that teens have a sadly thin vocabulary about God. Everyone knows we have to help kids experience Christ in classic ways, to not just have zany programs and light-weight lessons, but to help them dig deep into spirituality and inner character.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS among this recent great batch of books for youth workers, parents or pastors affirms the need for serious-minded and mature Christian disciple-making but doesn’t slide into trendy teen monasticism. It insists that we must take the world and ethos of the high school sub-culture(s) seriously. Engaging the Soul of Youth Culture: Bridging Teen Worldviews and Christian Truth by Walt Mueller (IVP) suggests that before we reach today’s youth with the truth of the gospel, we need to see what they see and hear what they hear. We need to catch the messages encrypted in their culture and understand what’s really being communicated.
The best names of evangelical youth writers have uniformly affirmed Walt’s work with the central Pennsylvania Center for Parent and Youth Understanding. It is a ministry you should know, with great resources, articles, web stuff, media literacy tools, etc. Walt has been a great friend of Hearts & Minds and is an excellent promoter of worldviewish Christian reading. He knows the importance of books and he loves relating serious truth to real teens, and those who work with them—parents, youth workers, school teachers and counselors. He is as a reliable writer as anyone in this field. His new book may be his most important work and is certainly the most significant book of its kind. We are proud to have been privileged to get an early copy of this vital work, and are excited to announce its brand new release. I will tell you more about it soon.
Engaging the Soul of Youth Culture: Bridging Teen Worldviews and Christian Truth Walt Mueller (IVP) $17.00

The new law, also known as extreme risk protection orders, is expected to go into effect next spring. It will allow family members, police, mental health professionals, roommates and former dating partners to petition a judge to remove firearms from those they believe pose an imminent threat to themselves or others.
The judge would have 24 hours to decide on a protection order after a request is filed. If granted, the judge would then have 14 days to set a hearing during which the flagged person would have to prove they do not pose a significant risk. A standard order would last one year.
So if an ex-girlfriend accuses you of being unstable and a judge buys her line, it’s on you to prove that she’s wrong? This is modern American jurisprudence.

Technicolor Information for VU#228519
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) handshake traffic can be manipulated to induce nonce and session key reuse
By making use of a model-based approach, researchers from K.U Leuven University have identified several theoretical flaws in the Wi-Fi Protected Acess (WPA) protocol. These weaknesses constitute a new class of attack on the 4-way handshake used in all flavors of WPA/WPA2, named KRACK: Key Reinstallation AttaCK.
This academic research presents an industry-wide issue as all products implementing Wi-Fi are theoretically vulnerable.
In practice, no gateway or modem manufactured by Technicolor, implementing WiFi Access point routing function is affected by this class of attack. This is due to the fact that the vulnerable function allowing practical attack against the Access Point is not present. The end users should continue to use their Technicolor gateway or modem without changing WPA2 settings. In particular, none of these attacks is able to retrieve the WPA private passphrase. This recommendation is also valid for the legacy Thomson and Cisco branded gateways and modems.
The 802.11r standard makes use of a 4-way handshake protocol that was mathematically proven secure by the scientific community. Yet, the research publication exhibits weaknesses in some implementations of this protocol, that can affect the way the client connects to the Access point. For Access Points, the operational impact is very limited. Gateways and modems configured as Wi-Fi Access Point are not potentially concerned, except when supporting Fast BSS Transition handshake introduced with 802.11r standard. Fast BSS Transition handshake is usually not supported on residential gateways and modems, because this feature is intended to minimize roaming time between several access points in a managed network.
Technicolor works constantly to improve security of its products, alongside with the Wi-Fi Alliance. Technicolor remains committed to provide efficient support to its customers and end-users.
Our detailed security bulletins remain reserved for our customers. Customers can contact their Technicolor Customer Technical Support.
We are not aware of further vendor information regarding this vulnerability.
There are no additional comments at this time.
If you have feedback, comments, or additional information about this vulnerability, please send us email.

Kyrie Irving to Grace the Cover of NBA Live 14
Fans who were concerned EA was pulling the most elaborate pump fake need not worry.
The highly anticipated sports title that has promised one of the truest experiences around now has an official cover athlete. The Cleveland Cavaliers have at least one thing to brag about: Kyrie Irving will grace the cover of NBA Live 14.
“We couldn’t imagine a better cover athlete for our game than the dynamic, explosive Kyrie Irving,” said Daryl Holt, VP and GM of basketball for EA Sports. “Kyrie is one of the best ball handlers in the league, and with our next-generation technology we can arm players with the ability to replicate his impressive on-court feats, as well as the amazing signature styles and abilities of other pros in NBA Live 14.”
NBA Live 14, developed by EA Tiburon, is set to launch on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is up for pre-order with the launch date presumably coinciding with next-gen consoles.

"Shebekino was completely demolished": a Russian MMA champion complained about the "Ukrainian offensive"
Russian Bellator bantamweight champion Vadim Nemkov admitted that he is used to constant explosions in Belgorod region, which often comes under fire of his own army. He added that the town of Shebekino "has been completely blown apart already.
The mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter said this in an interview with the YouTube channel Ushatayka. According to the athlete, some of his acquaintances have personally faced the consequences of the war unleashed by Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin against Ukraine in February of last year.
"I'm used to it. There's always something flying in, shooting. You get used to it, to be honest. If at first it was all a wonder, now we are used to it. But now there is an aggravation - an offensive from Ukraine. They are shelling, Shebekino has already been completely demolished. Belgorod, in principle, no change. As some missiles were fired, air defense shoots everything down. My friends, who live in Shebekino, it flew to them when it escalated. Now it has calmed down," Nemkov said.
Note that at the end of April, Russian Su-34 fighter jets dropped three air bombs on Belgorod, intending to launch them at Ukraine. And Shebekino was kept under control for several days by fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL, Russian MMA fighter Vladimir Mineyev became a laughing stock on the network after he said he was very much looking forward to returning to the war in Ukraine.

Taylor Swift Says This ‘Incredibly Genuine’ 1970s Hit Inspired Her Songs
During an interview, Taylor Swift gave fans insight into the songs that impacted her life. One of them was an iconic 1970s hit which inspired her lyrics. Here’s what Swift said about the song — and how it impacted the music of another pop star.
Taylor Swift learned a secret about one of the most famous songs of the 1970s
In Rolling Stone, Swift listed a handful of songs which “made” her. All of the songs on the list were from the late 1990s onward, with one exception: Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain.” Swift explained why she loved the track so much.
“It was the shot heard ’round the world that left everyone debating and wondering, ‘Which famous ex-lover did she write it about?’” Swift said. “I’ve felt the ripples of that blaring public curiosity affect my own lyrics. I was a poetry-obsessed preteen the first time I heard that incredibly genius kiss-off, ‘You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you.’ After hearing that, it was like a key had just unlocked this forbidden area of storytelling for me. You can say exactly what you feel, even if it’s bitter and brazen!”
Swift then discussed her own personal connection to Simon. “Almost 10 years later, I sat in my dressing room in Boston,” she said. “Carly Simon had just performed ‘You’re So Vain’ with me in front of 65,000 fans. She leaned over and whispered to me who the song was written about — me, the one person who hadn’t asked her.” According to Billboard, Simon eventually revealed to the world that the song is about movie star Warren Beatty.
How ‘You’re So Vain’ performed compared to other Carly Simon songs
Swift is a big fan of “You’re So Vain” — and the public seemed to enjoy it as well. The track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Simon’s only single to do so. The song remained on the chart for 17 weeks. The song’s parent album, No Secrets, was a hit as well, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and remaining on the chart for 71 weeks.
Taylor Swift wasn’t the only pop star impacted by ‘You’re So Vain’
“You’re So Vain” even served as the blueprint for a subsequent hit by Janet Jackson. Jackson teamed up with Simon and Missy Elliot for the song “Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You),” which is built around a sample of ‘You’re So Vain.” Jackson’s song reached No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining on the chart for 12 weeks. The parent album of “Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You),” All for You, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and remained on the chart for 52 weeks. “You’re So Vain” had an impact on the pop charts — as well as on Jackson and Swift.

|Title: #1: Horse Dreams: Backyard Horses|
By: Dandi Daley Mackall
Number of Pages: 90
Vendor: Tyndale House
Publication Date: 2011
Dimensions: 7.00 X 5.00 (inches)
|Weight: 4 ounces|
Series: Backyard Horses
Stock No: WW339160
Horse Dreams is a short book that is easy to read, with short chapters that move the action along at a nice trot. Within the pages, the key characters interact realistically, although there are some clichéd personages, ranging from "that annoying teacher" to "that mean girl." Everything climaxes at the moment that Ellie goes to check on the pinto horse at the local animal shelter, and she realizes that this is the horse shes been praying for all along.
Ellie James is a daydreaming fourth grader who's stubborn and enthusiastic. Her actions throughout the story are that of any normal horse-crazy fourth grade girl, and her belief in herself is stronger than probably most girls her age. The other characters in the book either nicely compliment Ellie, such as her parents and her friend Colt, or completely clash, such as her female adversary Larissa.
Dandi Daley Mackall has once again aimed at the classic young girl story and has hit the target. The book is nicely paced, attention grabbing, and very often entertaining and funny. This novel would be great for girls between third and fifth grades because the main character is a fourth grader, the book is short, and the words are easy to read. Horse Dreams would make a great addition to any classroom or personal childrens library. Demelza Ramierz, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

CM Punk Says He’d Be Up For Writing A ‘Slap Shot’ Style Wrestling Movie
While on the media tour for his new horror movie Girl On The Third Floor, CM Punk is not against answering wrestling-related questions and a unique one came to fruition while being interviewed by Matt Singer of Screen Crush. Singer brought up the wrestling movie genre and Punk expressed a strong interest in getting a good wrestling flick of his own up on the silver screen.
“My favorite movie in the world is Slap Shot. I’m a huge hockey guy, and Slap Shot just nails everything; the dialogue, the characters. You give me a few good days to put pen to paper and I could write you the wrestling version of Slap Shot, and I for sure think that is something that will happen down the line, without a doubt.
“I’ve got the real life stories just like [Slap Shot screenwriter] Nancy Dowd had real life stories of minor league hockey. It could be that outrageous and funny.”
Punk’s love for the George Roy Hill classic starring Paul Newman, Strother Martin and the Hanson Brothers is mightily evident as he’s had Newman’s character, player coach Reggie Dunlop as his profile picture on Twitter for years on end. Punk has also had tees made in the style of The Charlestown Chiefs’ jerseys.

U.S. Group Trains Troops In Somalia
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — On the front lines of Mogadishu’s streets, Islamist militants battle African Union troops. Standing alongside the peacekeepers are members of an American-run team of advisers, former military men who play a little-known but key role in the war against al-Shabab.
Aside from covert raids by special operations forces, the U.S. government has not been involved militarily in Somalia since the intervention almost two decades ago that culminated in the Black Hawk Down battle. But a Washington-based company has been quietly working in one of the world’s most dangerous cities to help an AU peacekeeping force protect the Somali government from al-Qaida-linked Islamist insurgents.
While troops struggle to get control of this shattered capital that has been filling with refugees fleeing famine in southern Somalia, The Associated Press got rare access to the military advisers, providing a first look into their work.
The men employed by Bancroft Global Development live in small trailers near Mogadishu’s airport but often go into the field. It’s dangerous work — two Bancroft men were wounded last month.
Among the advisers are a retired general from the British marines, an ex-French soldier involved in a coup in Comoros 16 years ago, and a Danish political scientist.
Funded by the United Nations and the U.S. State Department, Bancroft has provided training in a range of military services, from bomb disposal and sniper training to handing out police uniforms.
Michael C. Stock, the American head of Bancroft, said his men share information with the FBI about bomb materials and the DNA of suicide bombers, who sometimes turned out to be Somali-American youths from the Midwest. Stock said his company receives no recompense for sharing information with the FBI.
Stock strongly objects if “mercenary” is used to describe his men. Instead he describes Bancroft as a non-governmental organization dedicated to finding permanent solutions to violent conflict. His men say they are trying to stabilize a country ravaged by 20 years of civil war and now a famine estimated to have killed 29,000 children in the past three months.
“We take calculated risks to be side by side with our protegees,” said Stock, who visits Mogadishu only intermittently and for short periods of time, believing it is best not to have Americans working in Mogadishu. “It gives us credibility with them. They know we know what we are talking about.”
At their beach-side camp in Mogadishu, diplomats, journalists and aid workers swap tip-offs by the bar. Stories fly through the air faster than the bats that hunt in the shadows, a way to unwind after a day of tense work.
Richard Rouget, a cigar-smoking, poetry-quoting, whiskey-drinking former big game hunter and right-hand man of French mercenary Bob Denard, has a long scar on his thigh from getting shot in Somalia last year. Another round slammed into the chest plate of his body armor.
Much of Mogadishu in recent years has been held by al-Shabab, militants who have denied many aid agencies access to their territory which is the epicenter of the famine. The AU force, which supports the weak U.N.-backed Somali government, only took full control of the bombed-out capital after the Islamists withdrew from their bases there on Saturday.
“They have gone from their bases but their fighters are still around. We’re probably going to see them using bomb attacks, assassinations, a type of guerrilla war,” said AU force commander Maj. Gen. Fred Mugisha.
The Bancroft advisers camp out with AU soldiers on the front lines, training them to fight in urban areas and dispose of bombs. When the AU first arrived in 2008, there were dozens of bomb attacks. Nearly 100 soldiers died in such attacks in that first year, and around 20 in the second. The AU hasn’t lost a soldier to a roadside bomb in over a year.
The U.S. State Department has funded the company’s training in Somalia of soldiers from Uganda and Burundi, who comprise the AU peacekeeping force, in marksmanship and bomb disposal. Other funding has come from the U.N. The contracts have totaled $12.5 million since 2008, the year the company started working in Somalia, Stock said.
Earlier this week, Martinus “Rocky” Van Blerk swept the road to Mogadishu’s port for bombs, blew up a grenade found in a newly taken al-Shabab base and answered two calls about suspected bombs. The defused mortar shells and bomb components lie rusting in a pile near the airport; interesting or unusual devices and remains from suicide bombers are sent to the FBI for analysis.
“That’s where I blew up the bodies of those two suicide bombers last week,” Van Blerk told AP at a newly taken al-Shabab base, pointing to a dip in the sand and a charred wall spattered with dark residue. The bombers were shot before they could detonate their suicide vests.
Wearing government uniforms, they had attacked with machine guns. They shot one of Van Blerk’s South African Bancroft colleagues as well as a contractor from a demining company and 10 Ugandan soldiers trained in bomb disposal. The demining contractor and six of the Ugandans died. Dark trails of blood smear the floor inside the house where the trainer crawled for cover. Another Bancroft employee was shot in the stomach the day before but survived.
Militants have carried out three such “forced entry” attacks by men wearing suicide vests and firing small arms in the last two months. It’s a relatively new tactic by Somali insurgents, used successfully elsewhere by al-Qaida.
“See here?” Van Blerk waved at to a row of roofless, bullet-scarred buildings in Mogadishu. “This is where they rammed my vehicle with a car bomb,” referring to an attack in 2008.
In June, Van Blerk’s men found their first explosively formed projectile — or EFP — a type of bomb commonly used in Iraq and seen in Afghanistan that can penetrate armored vehicles. It had never been seen in Somalia before June and is evidence of foreign fighters training Somalia’s Islamist militants. Western intelligence has long feared that terrorists sought to use the lawless nation as a training ground.
The Bancroft team this week was discussing their marksmanship training program. Their idea was to encourage the peacekeepers to use sharpshooters instead of mortars, which sometimes hit residential neighborhoods and kill civilians. They train the Burundian and Ugandan soldiers in the AU force in marksmanship. Now a list of no-fire zones is pinned to the wall of their office.
“We had a problem with indiscriminate indirect fire, so we encouraged the AU to use snipers instead,” said Rouget, referring to weapons like mortars. “It’s discriminate, accurate.”
Lt. Julius Aine, one of the Ugandan soldiers trained by Bancroft, said the training has helped his men be more professional.
“The major lessons have been about fighting in built-up areas,” he said, looking out at the smashed ruins of houses so full of bullet holes they resembled concrete lace. “We are used to the bush, not fighting in the streets. This has really helped us.”

EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon is going to need a fourth-quarter miracle against USC to stay in the national title hunt.
Even for an explosive offense, 18 points is a lot to make up. The Ducks not only need three scores, they need to stop Matt Barkley and company.
Still, De'Anthony Thomas' 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown created just enough "maybe" that it would be premature to write the game story at this point.
Keep in mind: Even with a loss, the Ducks are still on top of the Pac-12 North. If Stanford beats California, the Ducks would have to lose to Oregon State next weekend for the Cardinal to play in the Pac-12 championship game.

52 small businesses receive grants through CCET, Col-Pac
Fifty-two Columbia County businesses impacted by COVID-19 were awarded grants last week.
The total $210,452 in grants were distributed by the Columbia-Pacific Economic Development District and Columbia County Economic Team.
The county contributed $100,000 and the state contributed $150,000. In May, the county applied for $100,000 in state funding for COVID-19 relief grants, but only received $70,000. Col-Pac also applied for funding and received $80,000.
That added up to $250,000 available for local grants, meaning almost $40,000 remains.
CCET interim Executive Director Paul Vogel said the agencies were working to determine the best way to distribute the remaining funds. The $40,000 will likely be added to an upcoming additional round of grant funding.
The grants range from $2,500 to $15,000. Businesses could apply for up to $25,000, but the largest grant was far below that amount. The average grant amount was $4,047.
Nearly 90% of the grant applications were funded, according to a press release from CCET.
Of the 52 businesses to receive grants, 34 were women-owned and six were nonprofits.
St. Helens was home to 16 of the recipients; Scappoose, 18; Clatskanie, five; Vernonia and Warren, four each; Rainier, three; and Columbia City, two.
Vogel said the specific recipients are confidential.
Applications were due in early July, just 10 days after the grant application was announced in an email newsletter from CCET. Checks were initially expected to be distributed by the end of July, but a press release from CCET explained that the process was delayed because additional information and verification were needed from applicants.
"The intent is to get this grant money into peoples' hands who need it to stay open and recover, so the extra diligence and assistance was important and worth it, in our view," Vogel said.
CCET and Col-Pac then submitted award recommendations to Business Oregon, which, as the state's economic development agency, was in charge of distributing funds.
"This was an extensive process for a new program that didn't even exist three months ago," said Mary McArthur, executive director of Col-Pac. "It's so important to get the money out to businesses that need it. We're pleased to be able to help and we thank all those who assisted, especially the Board of Commissioners and Business Oregon for investing to create the opportunity."
The grants were open to small businesses that had not received federal CARES funding, like Paycheck Protection Program loans. Col-Pac expects to receive additional grant funding from Business Oregon, which would be open to recipients of CARES funding.

Endangered whale population nears 20-year low
One of the rarest marine mammals on Earth — the North Atlantic right whale — saw its population fall by 10 percent in the last year, according to a group of scientists and ocean life advocates, ABC News reported Monday.
In 2019, there were only 366 of these whales left, and that population dropped further to 336 in 2020, the lowest number in nearly 20 years, per the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium.
Commercial whaling has greatly reduced the number of right whales. They have been listed as endangered by the U.S. for the past 100 years, ABC News reported.
A graph put out by the New England Aquarium shows the drastic nature of the population’s decline.
The #NorthAtlanticRightWhale population continues to decline.
Today, the @NARWC announced that the species population dropped to 336 in 2020, an 8% decrease from 2019. The newly released estimate is the lowest number in nearly 20 years.
— New England Aquarium (@NEAQ) October 25, 2021
Only a decade ago, the whales had a population as high as 480, according to ABC, but human factors and poor reproduction continue to hinder their growth.
The animals are susceptible to dying while getting caught in fishing gear or after colliding with large ships, and even when they do survive, these incidents often make them less able to mate, explained Scott Kraus, the consortium’s chairman, to ABC News.
“There is no question that human activities are driving this species toward extinction. There is also no question that North Atlantic right whales are an incredibly resilient species,” Kraus said in a statement, as reported by CBS Boston. “No one engaged in right whale work believes that the species cannot recover from this. They absolutely can, if we stop killing them and allow them to allocate energy to finding food, mates, and habitats that aren’t marred with deadly obstacles.”
These whales feed and mate near New England and Canada but travel to Georgia and Florida to calving grounds in the fall before they eventually return up north in springtime, explained ABC.
The segment of the federal government that oversees and regulates ocean affairs, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, reportedly emphasized that the new number is an early estimate that is preliminary in nature and has not yet been peer reviewed.
According to CBS Boston, experts have been cautiously optimistic about 18 right whale mother-calf pairs this year, though they note that this number is lower than the average of 23 from the last decade.

“Due to advances in our diagnosis capability, we have been able to identify more COVID-19 cases in the country,” Saeed Namaki said late Thursday.
“Signs of their recovery will further emerge in the following days; this will completely transform Iran’s situation on the world stage,” he added.
Namaki made the comments while speaking on the sidelines of a video conference with officials of the World Health Organization’s Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office.
During the meeting, the WHO officials praised Iran’s anti-coronavirus initiative, known as the “national mobilization against the coronavirus”, and called for the application of Iran’s experience in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Iran doing its best in COVID-19 battle despite lack of equipment: WHOThe WHO chief has commended Iran
Under the country’s “national mobilization against the coronavirus” campaign, Iran has sought to conduct a nationwide examination to identify COVID-19 patients and manage its response against the outbreak.
In his remarks on Thursday, Namaki said that more than 90 percent of the initiative’s target population had been “covered”.
Namaki had said on Wednesday that over 67 million Iranians had been screened for the disease.
Iran to double COVID-19 test capacity to 20,000 per dayIran is increasing its testing capacity for suspected cases of the new coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, to 20,000 a day.
Speaking on the sidelines of the meeting with WHO officials, Namaki stressed that Iran’s “positive situation” among the countries in the eastern Mediterranean region was due to public cooperation.
The health minister added that Iran has yet to fully control the disease and that physical distancing restrictions imposed across the country will be extended as planned until next week.
According to the latest numbers released by Iran’s Health Ministry on Thursday, 50,468 Iranians have contracted the disease, 3,160 of which have lost their lives. Another 16,711 people have also recovered from the disease.
Iran, which is grappling with widespread US sanctions banning medical aid from reaching the country, has been among the worst affected by the disease.
The country’s ranking in the number of confirmed cases has, however, dropped from second place to the sixth over the past month.
The US sanctions have hampered Iran’s fight against the fast-spreading disease amid the UN’s failure to push for the lifting of the restrictions.
Iran medical body writes to Guterres, slams UN inaction on cruel US bansIn a letter to the UN chief, the Academy of Medical Sciences of Iran slams the world body’s failure to take action against the American sanctions amid coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, more than 30 members of the US Congress sent a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, calling for the suspension of sanctions against Iran amid the coronavirus fight in the country.
The US legislators, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Edward J. Markey and Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar urged the Trump administration to step in with humanitarian aid rather than worsening the situation in Iran.
US lawmakers press Trump to lift Iran sanctions amid ‘borderless’ pandemic In a letter to the Trump administration, a group of US lawmakers call for the suspension of anti-Iran sanctions amid a global battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
Ministry reports 134 new deaths
Iran’s death toll from the new coronavirus rose on Friday to 3,294 as it claimed 134 lives in the past 24 hours, Health Ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpur said.
The total number of people confirmed to be infected is 53,183, he said, adding that 4,035 ware “under observation”.
Of the total number of people who were diagnosed with the disease, 17,935 have recovered, he said.

The Paleo Plan is your new regime, the new discipline to guide you along the road to a better lifestyle. Initially this may sound serious and inhibiting but in fact it is not, it is a whole lot of fun. A new way of eating, dieting, shopping and cooking. One could say that the caveman did not have a fitted out kitchen BUT he did have fire and his own way. Fortunately for you you are not expected to cook caveman style but only to follow his plan of eating.
The following is the basic diet plan for you to follow, wherever possible organic, free range or wild product should be used:
- Protein from lean and fat off beef, lamb, pork, poultry (no skin), eggs, fish, shellfish and game meats;
- Fruit of all varieties especially lots of berries (very good anti-oxidants)
- Vegetables of all varieties. However there is some controversy over the root vegetables but we recommend you use your discretion here. It is believed that in the paleolithic era the caveman ate the leaves of what we call root vegetables and others believe the root veg was also included in their eating plan.
- Nuts and seeds as available.
- Fats and oils such as avocado oil, olive oil and nut oils and of course there will be a small portion of animal fat from the meats consumed. Here again there is some controversy as some believe ghee is acceptable and others argue that it is dairy and therefore is not allowed. However there is a little give and take in the plan but do not take advantage of it.
Totally Excluded Foods:
- All grain products ie breads, pastry, pasta, crackers any foods containing grains.
- All dairy ie milk, yoghurt, cheeses and butter any products containing dairy.
Contrary to your possible initial impression of woe of the Paleo Plan there is an amazing array of foods available to experiment with giving you the ability to create meals that are flavoursome, wholesome and healthy. This plan could just be your opportunity of showing your family and friends your artistic and creative imagination in surprising them with the serving of the most tasty, wholesome and healthy meals. Friends will be impressed, amazed and in awe. For sure they will be asking when the next dinner party is going to be!
This Plan does not restrict your menu in any way. There are endless possibilities in food combinations. There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, supper, dessert, snacks, celebratory meals and even barbecues. Absolutely no reason to feel deprived! The whole idea of the Paleo Plan is to embrace a lifestyle of eating the correct way for the human body to best ensure general well being, increased vitality and certain weight loss. Genetically we are still 99.9% the same as our caveman ancestors who were certainly of a robust disposition.
**Your Paleo Plan is the beginning of the rest of your healthy, slim and energetic new life!!!**

Anyone involved with CNM usually feel totally highly about people standards. Terminology like “openness,” “inclusivity,” and “authenticity” are generally employed by people to explain the experience of the community.
Clearly, consensual non-monogamy and cheating won’t https://datingranking.net/married-dating-dallas-texas/ be the same thing. Couples that are tangled up in consensual non-monogamy were, while the list implies, each willing participants. it is different thing as actually a “swinger” either, to be several is certainly not necessarily a portion of the traditions. Numerous unmarried everyone is involved in polyamorous life-style aswell, which will be different thing to be involved in “hookup traditions.”
Very precisely what are consensual non-monogamy?
Between 4.3 and 10.5 percent of connections are believed becoming non-monogamous, but research indicates that many men and women have negative stereotypes about consensual non-monogamy, and other people taking part in this type of life. That’s a higher percentage than the LGBTQ society, a team which has had joyfully seen a lot more positive basic reception recently. Philosophy that CNM lovers posses a “less trustworthy and less meaningful relationship” are specially commonplace.
Consensual non-monogamy can also known as “being in an unbarred partnership.” Dedicated partners may also be absolve to take part in intercourse with associates away from their own union. Numerous CNM players believe this sort of commitment promotes sincerity in communications, and prevents “infidelity” from coming between them, ruining her connection. In fact, CNM men and women are more likely to incorporate safety, and not take part in consuming or material incorporate, than those who cheat during monogamous relations.
So is this relief from gender addiction?
Absolutely not. Sex habits may include aspects of dishonesty, distrust, worry, manipulation and coercion. This is certainly opposite of consensual non-monogamy. Non-monogamous connections merely could work with openness, rely on, and sincerity. Those who find themselves in an addictive powerful almost certainly shall be lacking some or all of the requirement to make a consensual, non-monogamous partnership services.
Robb Weiss, a commander in the area of sexual addiction, produces in her guide Mending a Shattered cardio, men and women are “free to take part in whatever intimate conditions they have settled on as long as the rules were recognized” (Carnes, 2011). However, for many individuals that are handling intimate addiction, there is petrol lighting effects and manipulation. Therefore, a non-monogamous connection is generally a way to obtain stress for clients.
Wouldn’t they cause you to jealous?
The chance of envy within an unbarred union might appear higher to the people who’ve not ever been involved with consensual non-monogamy, than amongst fans of the sexual rehearse. It could be anything you think whenever very first getting associated with CNM, but will more than likely become unimportant afterwards, so long as you along with your primary companion maintain a mutually-beneficial contract.
Sometimes CNM enthusiasts become embarrassed of sense envious since this is exactly what they “signed right up for” when it is in an unbarred relationship. We all have been wired in a different way, and sense envious just isn’t something that should provide you with pity. It could be challenging consult with your own non-CNM friends, so discovering a like-minded area can bring you assurance.
Believers in CNM might discover that their unique ideas of jealousy usually do not truly include their unique mate — an important self-discovery, maybe not made in a monogamous partnership. Like, poly advocate Diana Adams discovered the girl envy was connected with insecurity during their youthfulness. When she thought envious over the girl partner’s brand new companion, it was triggering those thinking from sometime ago about are unappealing, or unworthy of sexual interest.
Precisely why consensual non-monogamy?
Through the time we were very little, just about everybody has had the information of exactly what love and interactions needs to be formed by those around us, the news, and fairytales. People get that fairytale closing, but other people look for it aimlessly…not maybe, because Mr. or Ms. Appropriate isn’t out there, but because one Mr. or Ms. just isn’t best for your needs.
What kind of “rules” are participating?
Guidelines is generally about volume, type of sexual functions, venue, or even types of people (ex: shared acquaintances/friends or perhaps not; only other folks associated with open affairs or solitary visitors aswell).
Couples who engage in CNM often have their particular guidelines created out before opening their particular partnership. That’s not saying these formula become “commandments” written in stone, however it really helps to prevent any misconceptions or hurt emotions. The guidelines can invariably getting changed with common agreement as the union increases.

According to BBC three-thousand children arrived in the UK alone last year. Many of them are migrants or refugees escaping war or devastation in their home countries. They’ve travelled thousands of miles across deserts, mountains and seas. When they get to the UK they are often tired and afraid. They are taken by immigration officers or police to a safe place where they are asked lots of questions.
This is so that the people in charge can understand how old the child is, where they have come from and what they will need to keep them healthy and safe. If the child is under 17, they are given leave to remain, which means they can stay in the UK and will be looked after until they are old enough to look after themselves.
This often means they are placed with a foster family who look after them as though they are part of their family. They can start going to a local school and they can start to make a life for themselves here in the UK.
Many of the children stay around Kent and Dover in the south of England because that is where they first arrive. In the past year Kent has placed nearly 1,000 children in homes in that area.
Ruth is one of them. She came all over from Eritrea on her own. She now goes to college and has many friends. She wants to become a nurse.

London - Shares in Barclays rallied Monday after the British bank said it was evaluating options over its African division, on the eve of the group's annual results.
Barclays stock rebounded 1.74% to close at 172.05 pence on London's FTSE 100 index, which finished 0.02% higher at 6 097.09 points.

When it comes to selecting the ideal gym t-shirt, the choice between cotton and moisture-wicking fabrics can significantly impact your workout experience. While cotton has long been a staple in the world of activewear, the emergence of moisture-wicking fabrics has introduced a new dimension of performance and comfort. In this comparison between cotton and moisture-wicking gym t-shirts, we'll explore the unique attributes of each fabric, with a focus on the advantages of moisture-wicking materials, particularly in gym compression t-shirts for men.
The Classic Comfort of Cotton Gym T-Shirts
Cotton gym t-shirts have enjoyed popularity for their softness and breathability. They offer a familiar comfort, making them a preferred choice for many fitness enthusiasts. The natural fibers of cotton allow air to circulate, preventing overheating during workouts. Additionally, cotton's moisture absorption capability helps to wick away sweat from the body, keeping you relatively dry during low-intensity activities.
However, while cotton has its merits, it's essential to recognize its limitations, especially during intense workouts. Cotton tends to retain moisture, becoming heavy and less breathable as you sweat more. This can lead to discomfort and hinder your performance, particularly when engaging in activities that require dynamic movements and increased exertion.
The Performance Advantages of Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Moisture-wicking fabrics, on the other hand, have revolutionized the world of activewear. These advanced materials are designed to pull moisture away from your skin and onto the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate more quickly. This attribute is especially crucial during high-intensity workouts or hot conditions, as it helps regulate your body temperature and prevents the accumulation of sweat.
Gym compression t-shirts, crafted from moisture-wicking fabrics, offer a range of benefits that elevate your workout experience:
- Enhanced Evaporation: Moisture-wicking fabrics promote rapid evaporation, ensuring that sweat doesn't linger on your skin. This keeps you cool and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your exercises without distraction.
- Reduced Chafing: The drier environment created by moisture-wicking fabrics minimizes the risk of chafing, a common concern during repetitive movements. This is particularly advantageous in gym compression t-shirts, which fit closely to the body.
- Improved Performance: By maintaining a consistent body temperature and reducing discomfort, moisture-wicking gym t-shirts contribute to better overall performance. You can push your limits without the distraction of damp clothing.
- Quick-Drying: Moisture-wicking fabrics dry much faster than traditional cotton, allowing you to transition seamlessly from your workout to other activities without feeling weighed down.
Choosing the Right Gym T-Shirts: A Balancing Act
Selecting the ideal gym t-shirts involves finding the right balance between comfort and performance. While cotton gym t-shirts offer a classic and familiar feel, moisture-wicking fabrics introduce a new level of functionality that can significantly enhance your workouts.
For the best of both worlds, consider moisture-wicking gym compression t-shirts for men. These garments combine the supportive benefits of compression with the performance advantages of moisture-wicking materials. You'll experience the snug fit and muscle support of compression, coupled with the moisture management necessary for intense training sessions.
In conclusion, while cotton gym t-shirts have their merits, moisture-wicking fabrics provide a distinct advantage in terms of performance and comfort, especially in high-intensity activities. Elevate your workout wardrobe with moisture-wicking gym t-shirts, and explore the range of options available, including gym compression t-shirts for men, to make the most of your fitness journey. At Athflex, we offer a variety of moisture-wicking gym wear that blends style, comfort, and performance, ensuring that you're ready to take on any challenge that comes your way.

Derrick J. captivates his fans
The fans of Sri Lankan born Derrick Junkeer kept their date with him
last Thursday to enjoy his romantic renditions of songs that were the
golden hits of singers like Englebert Humperdinck and Tom Jones. It all
happened at the popular High Tea performance at the Galadari Hotel.
Derrick Junkeer or Derrick J as as he is fondly known wowed his fans
no end as he stepped down from the stage and moved among the guests who
were thrilled to sway and clap to the rhythms of his songs. He
encouraged them to sing along with him and to quote a cliché "they were
in seventh heaven"!
Although he is now domiciled in Melbourne, Derrick J has not lost his
touch in entertaining music lovers both young and old - something that
he has been doing for more than 25 years. His appearances on the TV
specials 'Good Morning Australia' escalated his popularity and he is now
a household name in Melbourne.
His rich and powerful vocals laced with warmth, passion and sincerity
were the key to his overwhelming success. Kudos to the Galadari Hotel
for featuring him at their High Tea afternoons and giving his fans
especially to those who were unable to catch his appearance at his
formal concert in Colombo, an opportunity to see him in performance.
But Derrick J was not alone at this appearance. Supporting him in
this 'thrilling musical journey' was the vivacious and beautiful
Danielle Faour, 23 years old and herself a recognised singer in
Melbourne. Modern in style she was on a different track to Derrick J yet
she captured the attention of the guests as she sang her songs which has
brought her recognition in Melbourne. Now a competent singer/composer
Danielle's song 'Hey Daniel' won her fame with the prize being the
filming of her song on YouTube. The future looks bright for Danielle,
who when she is not involved in composing her songs, enjoys performing
at musical theatres.
It was an afternoon that saw the guests lavishing the High Tea spread
while enjoying the musical vibes of Derrick J and Danielle. That they
would make a return we hope is on the cards.

Another monument to Indian labor, Abo Mission.
This is puzzling, a kiva in a mission.
It is amazing to me, how long the wood lasts.
Definitely a plan here. The nave portion is at the bottom.
Fifty foot high.
Looking to the northwest, Manzano Mountains. The elevation here is about 6500 feet.
The view looking southwest.
Buttressing on the walls. Pretty impressive.
The view from the pueblo living areas. Those mounds are what remains of the pueblos. Interesting that the forced construction outlasted the original living quarters.

Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen – beautiful, haunting book about a family working through the father’s PTSD. The family is drawn toward a remote, inherited cabin, the natural, seasonal rhythms, maple sugaring process, and neighbors surrounding them in beauty, love, and light. Highly recommend.
Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White – this is a delightful story of a boy and a swan without a voice. Hilarious, sweet, and subtle nature lessons woven throughout. We love this title!
Family Grandstand by Carol Ryrie Brink – we finished this book earlier this year and can’t recommend it enough. Lovely story of a family living near the father’s job at a college, a writer for mother ;), and an interesting neighbor hood of friends and adventures.
Honorable mention is the Ralph Moody Series, which we’ve been slowly working through!
What are your favorite family read-aloud titles this year?
