Professor Authors Book about Iranians in Texas
By: Mary Ann Cozza
Mohsen Mobasher, UHD associate professor of anthropology and sociology, drew on personal experience when writing his new book, "Iranians in Texas: Migration, Politics, and Ethnic Identity."
To celebrate the recent publication, a "Meet the Author" event will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 23, in N-420, One Main Building.
About the book:
"Examining the political nature of immigration and how the originating and receiving countries shape the prospects of integration, Mohsen Mobasher incorporates his own experience as a Texas scholar born in Iran. Tracing current anti-Muslim sentiment to the Iranian hostage crisis, two decades before 9/11, he observes a radically negative shift in American public opinion that forced thousands of Iranians in the United States to suddenly be subjected to stigmatization and viewed as enemies.
The book also sheds light on the transformation of the Iranian family in exile and some of the major challenges that second-generation Iranians face in their interactions with their parents."

Having started on his favorite theme, the general recounted circumstantially how Hadji Murad had so cleverly cut the detachment in two that if the rescue party had not arrived (he seemed to be particularly fond of repeating the word “rescue”) not a man in the division would have escaped, because.
Essay text: The structures that are not completely destroyed are defiled by the Russian troops, including the village's mosque. Even the well is fouled. The village chosen by the Russians was the same that gave hospitality to Hadji Murat at the beginning of the novel.
Hadji Murad is the last book written by Count Leo Tolstoy before his death. It's a sympathetic portrait of a real life Chechnyan Freedom Fighter going toe to toe with the Russian invaders (and his own tribal politics) circa 1850 in the Caucasus.
Excerpt Excerpt: Chapter 1. I was returning home by the fields. It was midsummer, the hay harvest was over and they were just beginning to reap the rye.
Hadji Murad (also known as Hadji Murat) is a novel written by Leo Tolstoy and not published until after his death in 1912. The final work of Tolstoy, Hadji Murad is about an Avar revel commander who seeks personal revenge and forges an uneasy alliance with the Russians who he had been previously fighting. Hadji Murad is highly recommended for those who enjoy the writings of Leo Tolstoy and.
Hadji Murad discussion Harold Bloom calls Hadji Murad “my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world, or at least the best that I have ever read.” Bloom argues throughout his book “that originality, in the sense of strangeness, is the quality that, more than any other, makes a work canonical.”.

Combining ABA With Other Therapies
by Jaime Friedman
November 10, 2023
Combining ABA with Other Therapies
At Aspire Child and Family Services, we get that making progress in helping individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. While ABA therapy is proven and effective, we're all about blending approaches. In this article, we're diving into how ABA therapy and other therapies can team up for even better results. We'll be looking at the natural synergy between ABA and speech therapy and how it can make a big difference. Join us for a chat about 'Combining ABA with Other Therapies,' and discover how it can bring comprehensive growth and well-being for those with ASD.
Integration of ABA and Speech Therapy
Combining ABA with other therapies, such as speech therapy, can create a powerhouse of support for individuals on the autism spectrum. This dynamic duo offers a comprehensive approach to treatment that can significantly enhance the quality of life for people with autism. When you integrate the structured support of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with the communicative breakthroughs of speech therapy, you're not just mixing methods; you're crafting a tailored pathway to progress.
Recognizing Their Synergy
In the world of therapy, where every individual is unique, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and speech therapy form an exceptional tag team. ABA focuses on reshaping behavior and cultivating essential skills, while speech therapy dives deep into the realm of communication. This dynamic duo naturally complements each other, providing a powerful combination that's particularly beneficial for individuals with autism.
Autism often presents multifaceted challenges, encompassing both behavioral and communication aspects. ABA is like the architect of behavior, meticulously crafting positive changes and honing life skills. Meanwhile, speech therapy acts as the communication coach, empowering individuals to express themselves effectively. It's this fusion that creates a holistic approach, addressing the diverse needs of those on the autism spectrum.
Addressing Core Concerns
When ABA and speech therapy join forces, they simultaneously tackle the heart of the matter. ABA steps in to guide behavior and life skills, helping individuals adapt and thrive in their daily lives. Meanwhile, speech therapy takes communication to a whole new level, unlocking the power of expression.
By addressing these core concerns simultaneously, the integration of ABA and speech therapy can yield profound improvements in overall functioning. Communication barriers start to crumble, social interactions become smoother, and individuals on the autism spectrum find newfound confidence in navigating their world.
Effective Strategies for Integration
Harmoniously weaving ABA and speech therapy into a personalized treatment plan requires careful orchestration. It's all about crafting a strategy that aligns precisely with the unique needs and aspirations of each individual with autism.
Collaborative sessions between ABA and speech therapists become the breeding ground for insights and strategies. This exchange of expertise ensures that the approach is not only cohesive but also comprehensive. It's in these shared efforts that the true magic of integration happens, unlocking doors to transformative progress and enriched lives.
Integrating ABA with Other Therapeutic Modalities
Our exploration of integrating Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with other therapeutic modalities brings us to a world of possibilities in the realm of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) intervention. This approach, combining ABA with speech therapy and complementary therapies, offers a holistic strategy to address the diverse needs of individuals with ASD.
It's vital to emphasize that there is no universal formula for success. The key lies in adapting the therapeutic approach to the individual's unique requirements and objectives. Collaboration within a multidisciplinary team is the cornerstone of achieving remarkable results, encompassing improvements in behavior, communication, motor skills, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
To delve deeper into our offerings, please explore our services, or if you're ready to connect with us, feel free to visit our contact page. We look forward to engaging with you and discussing how we can best support your autism journey together.

Invictus Investments is an African private equity enterprise headquartered in Abuja that focuses on strategic investments across a broad range of industries. It provides both product and service-driven solutions for its clients through successful operating brands. Strategically, Invictus Investments seeks to position itself as a leader in its selected industries and in doing so, providing sustainable returns to shareholders. Invictus Investments Limited was established in 2013.
Invictus Investments Limited manages a diversified portfolio of Nigerian as well as other African investments with the objective of maximising long-term returns to its shareholders through a balance of capital and dividend growth.
Our Investment Philosophy
We focus on investing in African companies with unique high quality assets, brands and/or business footprints that can withstand economic cycles. Our view is that such businesses will generate superior returns over the long term.
The investment philosophy is driven by the investment objectives of Invictus.
We aim to provide shareholders/investors with attractive investment returns through access to a steady stream of fully franked dividends and medium to long term capital growth. In this regard our primary goals are:
Our investment philosophy has the following core principles
Sound returns with lower variability
By combining the benefits of investment in quality companies with those of diversification, the investment process seeks to produce attractive returns with lower volatility.
Buy and hold investment style over the long term
Our investment style is to buy shares in listed companies and hold them for the medium to long term. This approach minimises dealing costs and has historically provided investors with sound, tax-efficient, long term returns.
Investment committee participation
The participation of the Investment Committee is a key component of the Investment Process. This allows for wide ranging perspectives on current and potential investments utilising the business expertise of Directors, the Company’s Investment professionals and senior management team.
Use of trading portfolio
We operate a trading portfolio to generate additional income by taking advantage of shorter term opportunities in the market. The objective therefore is to buy with the intent of resale at a profit. This may include utilising selective option strategies approved by the Investment Committee. The Trading Portfolio is maintained within limits set by the Board and can be no greater than 10% of the total portfolio.
Invictus Investments Limited seeks to reduce investment risk by diversifying its investments across a range of companies and industries, thereby ensuring that the portfolio is not overly exposed to one company or one particular sector of the market. While the Company has not set specific minimum or maximum levels of the portfolio that can be invested in a single company or sector, the weightings of individual securities and market sectors are regularly reviewed by the Investment Committee.

Scientists Discover Microplastics in Sea Breeze for the First Time
For the first time, researchers have discovered microplastics in sea spray, suggesting that sea breeze is not always clean to breathe, contrary to popular belief.
In a study published in PlosOne, scientists stated as much as 1,36,000 tons of microplastic — plastic debris often invisible to the naked eye — is blown ashore every year with the sea breeze, released into the atmosphere and back onto land.
“We keep putting millions of tonnes of plastic into the ocean every year. This research shows that it is not going to stay there forever. The ocean is giving it back to us,” said co-author of the study Steve Allen, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Strathclyde to The Guardian. “Some plastic particles could be leaving the sea and entering the atmosphere along with sea salt, bacteria, viruses, and algae,” he added.
In the study, researchers used a cloud catcher machine to capture water droplets from sea spray at Mimizan beach on the south-west Atlantic coast of France. For a week, they examined microplastics in a variety of conditions, including storm and sea fog, and found plastic fragments between 5-140 micrometers long.
Although research on the health effects of eating or breathing microplastics is still in its preliminary stages, some studies have found that the chemicals contained in them are delivered to the lower parts of the lungs and maybe even into the bloodstream. This increases the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
Related on The Swaddle:
An estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic enters the sea from land and coasts. With this finding, researchers believe they may have also solved this mystery of where the “missing” oceanic plastic goes after it enters the sea. “The transport mechanism is quite complicated” said Dr. Deonie Allen, the study’s co-research lead to The Guardian. “We know plastic comes out of rivers into the sea. Some goes into gyres, some sinks and goes into the sediment, but the quantity on the seafloor doesn’t match the amount of plastic that would make up this equation. There’s a quantity of missing plastic.” She added, “Now we know it can come back. It is the first opening line of a new discussion.”

Have you noticed that your dog has packed on a few extra pounds recently? Got a chunky puppy on your hands? Has your veterinarian mentioned something to you about your dog’s weight gain? It might be time to learn how to help your dog lose weight. Always consult your veterinarian before putting your dog on any extra exercise or dietary plan to ensure the safety of your dog.
Importance of Maintaining Ideal Weight
Check out the chart below for a general guideline of how your dog will look at his ideal weight. Many benefits stem from keeping your dog at his ideal weight. Like humans, dogs have more energy, better skin quality, and better fur/hair quality when they are at their ideal weight. They tend to be more playful and happy too. Some lesser known benefits would include better heart health, longer life-span, better joint health, and generally your dog is more comfortable at his ideal weight. When I say “comfortable”, I mean that he won’t feel bloated or out of breath all the time.
What do think of when you think of weight loss programs? Diet and exercise, right? We’ll cover the special diet in a moment, but for now let’s focus on exercise. For your dog, exercise can be in many different forms. You could play a game of fetch for 10-15 minutes, or go for a 20-30 minute walk, or practice agility obstacles, or go swimming. I recommend finding two exercises that your dog enjoys the most and setting aside 30-60 minutes every day to exercise with him. When we were helping our dog Molly lose weight, we would take a 30 minute walk every day after work, followed by a 10-15 minute game of fetch. Not only was she happily worn out afterward, but we could see results in the first couple weeks. You should also keep in mind that all dogs have limits. If you are unsure of your dog’s physical limitations, take it easy the first few days and gradually ramp up the activity level. If your dog seems like he cannot get cooled down or super-lethargic after exercising, you have likely exceeded his limit.
Let’s talk about modifying your dog’s diet. There are a couple different options that I recommend. You can either feed your dog special diet food in the same quantity that you always do, OR you can feed your dog his normal food and slightly decrease the quantity of his food at each meal. Coming back to my own personal experience with Molly, we added the exercise regiment and cut her food intake down from 1 1/2 scoops to 1 1/4 scoops of dry food. If you are more interested in switching to special diet food, there are prescription foods that your vet can offer, but there are also diet foods that you can get from your local pet supply store or online at Amazon.com. Again, you really need to consult with your vet before modifying your dog’s diet.
Cut Down on the Treats!
Along the same lines, you should probably cut back on the quantity of treats you are feeding your dog. You could substitute your dog’s normal treats with healthier options like homemade dog treats or baby carrots. My girls also like string beans and apples as healthy alternatives to their normal treats. Not all fruits are safe for pets to eat, such as grapes. You can consult PetMD for a list of fruits and vegetables that are safe for pets.
For additional information on how to help your dog lose weight, please leave a comment with specific questions and I will be happy to help!

Cebuano photographer’s photo of mangrove tree makes it to UNESCO Thai exhibit
CEBU CITY, Philippines— A Cebuano photographer’s photo of a mangrove tree bagged a spot at the Thai National Science Museum exhibit held in partnership with UNESCO.
Mark Kevin Badayos, 27, is still on cloud nine after learning that his photo was one of the chosen photos by UNESCO to be displayed in the exhibit.
“Actually, I did not expect that my photo will be part of the exhibit. I just submitted my photo with the said subject to try my luck in the international scene,” he said.
Badayos was fortunate enough that he had a beautiful subject just near where he lives in barangay Calajoan, Mingalnilla town southern Cebu.
The photo showed a beautiful mangrove tree in the middle of the calm seas with the sky serving as a backdrop.
The photo was taken a few minutes after sunrise last June 20, 2020, and he got the news that he got into the exhibit just last October 26, 2020.
“I am so blessed to be part of this,” he added.

The first unupholstered chair to be mass-produced in plastic, it has metamorphosed into a wiry creature, learned to rock, gone to school, entered the workforce as quintessential office furniture and found its way back into the canon of high design. But, until now, its complex curves had never made the leap from plastic to wood. Today's 3-D veneer technology has finally made it possible to give wood the flexibility it needs to be molded into a deeply concave single shell. Here's a look at some of this icon's many iterations.

LHS teacher honored with service award
LONDONDERRY — Steve Juster, an English teacher at Londonderry High, was honored with the annual Robert W. Lincoln Youth Service Award for 2018.
Juster was honored April 20 during a high school spring pep rally.
The award is named for Bob Lincoln, a longtime volunteer who served on many town boards and committees. Lincoln also served on the School Board for 20 years, served as chairman of many committees and was an active Londonderry Lions Club member. He died in 2015.
Juster is being honored for his countless acts of service to the school and community, including the annual "Day of Giving" rally where hundreds of students, teachers, and community members have cut hair to provide wigs for cancer patients through the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program.
That program has been held for many years at the school. Juster is also active with youth recreation programs as a coach.
The Lincoln award selection committee chooses a recipient for the award every year, naming someone that demonstrates the characteristics of leadership, volunteerism, and devotion to the town, especially youth.
Past recipients of the Robert W. Lincoln Youth Service Award include Kay Doyle, Terri Roucheleau, Scott Hale, Mary Theos, Dave Kelly, Ron Campo, John Reynolds, Bob Slater, Gary Fisher, Kevin Foley, Bob Saur, Rick Brothers, and Owen Walton.
Barka students hear honors
DERRY — Students at Ernest P. Barka Elementary School earned honors as Students of the Week for the period ending April 20.

Answer: Hybrid tea roses can be finicky and may fail to overwinter for any number of reasons, ranging from a culmination of stresses, to temperature fluctuations, to poor drainage in the planting area. Usually, if they fail to come back promptly with vigorous growth in the spring they are weakened and will not perform all that well for the season, and may eventually die.
In general, it is better to prune them back by only about half in the fall (enough to reduce wind damage) and then prune again a bit harder in the spring to remove any winter damage and to shape the plant. The harder the spring pruning, the fewer, but larger, blooms you'll have.

Indiana Welcomes FFA Convention Home Facebook Twitter Facebook Twitter SHARE By Gary Truitt – Oct 13, 2016 Home Indiana Agriculture News Indiana Welcomes FFA Convention Home SHARE Indiana Welcomes FFA Convention HomeJane Ade StevensIn just a matter of days, a sea of blue and gold will flow through the streets of Indianapolis as the National FFA convention returns to the Hoosier State. “It didn’t seem right when they left, and we are so glad they are back” is how Jane Stevens, with the Indiana Soybean Alliance and Indiana Corn, summed up the feelings of the Indiana farm community about the return of the convention to the circle city. She told HAT these FFA students represent the future of American agriculture, “I look at these young people and know they are the future farmers, the future scientists, the future vets. These are the people who are going to figure out how we are going to feed the rest of the world.”National FFA President Taylor McNeel says FFA is thrilled to be back in the Hoosier State, “We are hoping to have another record-setting year in attendance. Last year we had 65,000, and we hope even more will come this year to Indianapolis.” After being in Louisville last year, the nation’s largest youth convention will be in Indianapolis for the next 9 years.The theme of this year’s convention is transformation. “Transform is what we hope FFA members will do in their life,” said McNeel. “Also transform agriculture with all the different production methods we have today and will have in the future.” The organization is also transforming as a larger number of its members now come from non-farm backgrounds.A day of service will kick off the convention next week as FFA members give thousands of hours of service to organizations in Indiana. On Thursday, several groups began a service project cleaning up planters on Georgia Street, which has been renamed FFA Way during the convention. At a press conference on George Street, state and city officials officially welcomed the FFA and spoke highly of the contribution the organization makes to the city and the state.Listen for coverage all next week at hoosieragtoday.com.

Joe Meola ‘25 / Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer
Dark Knights of Steel is finally back! After a months-long hiatus following the release of issue #7 in June, Tom Taylor’s acclaimed medieval fantasy Elseworlds reimagining of its iconic catalog of heroes and villains has made its return. However, fans of the series’ continuing narrative will have to wait a bit longer until the November release of issue #8, as they were instead treated with a special over-sized one-shot issue delving deeper into this unique new take on the DCU and its characters.
Curated by series creator Tom Taylor–the mind behind other acclaimed DC Comics alternate universe stories like Injustice and DCeased–this 48-page one-shot contains three standalone stories, each delving into the past of the main characters of the series.
The first story–untitled–is written by Taylor himself, with art by Casper Wijngaard. The story centers around Arkham Orphanage–this world’s answer to Arkham Asylum–from which several children have gone missing. Most notable among the missing kids is Jimmy Olsen, who had just been adopted by Perry White and befriended Prince Kal-El. Olsen’s disappearance, in addition to those of other children from Arkham, prompts Prince Kal-El, Bruce Wayne, and Princess Zala (Perhaps better known as Superman, Batman, and Supergirl in mainstream DC continuity) to launch a secret investigation into the matter.
The trio eventually discovers that the kidnapper behind these disappearances is actually Kirk Langstrom–AKA Man-Bat–who himself is an orphan from Arkham and was actually attempting to save his fellow orphans from being experimented on by the head of the orphanage, Elizabeth Arkham. The story concludes with Arkham’s capture by General Amanda Waller, who intends to use Arkham’s skillset for her own nefarious purposes.
Taylor has delivered to fans of the series not just a fun tale from the childhood of the three main characters of his Dark Knights of Steel series, but he also manages to perform a bit of worldbuilding to expand upon readers’ knowledge of this vast fantasy world. The introduction of Arkham Orphanage both establishes this world’s version of an iconic DC Universe location and showcases new versions of characters previously unseen in this universe.
The use of popular characters such as Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin) and Waylan Jones (Killer Croc) help to make Arkham feel like a major part of this universe, and small easter eggs like the reference to “the Hawks of the Sky Kingdom” (Hawkman, Hawkgirl, etc. and Thanagar) and Harvey Dent (Two-Face) being gifted his iconic coin serve as fun little treats for fans of mainstream DC lore. Furthermore, the ending of Amanda Waller capturing and recruiting Elizabeth Arkham may serve as a precursor to major events in the main series; maybe we’ll see the medieval fantasy version of the Suicide Squad?
Wijngaard’s art is simply gorgeous, no doubt about it. The style gives off a YA vibe, which definitely fits the tone of this specific story, especially considering the younger ages of the protagonists. Moreover, the colors–also done by Wijngaard–really pop while also giving the energy of a medieval painting (albeit a bit more vibrant).
The second story in this issue is titled “The Flock” and is written by Jay Kristoff with art by Sean Izaakse. The story, set five years prior to the events of the main Dark Knights of Steel series, begins with Prince Kal-El, Harley Quinn, and Bruce Wayne attending a Halloween party together (disguised, of course) so that Kal can get to know his subjects better and see the city. At the party, the trio comes into conflict with a gang of young orphans called the “Robins,” who rob Quinn. They are caught when their leader, Richard (Dick Grayson) stops to rescue a young boy from being trampled by a horse drawn carriage. Impressed by the kids’ skills and heroism, Wayne takes the gang under his wing as his protegees.
This is an overall very fun story. While it doesn’t heavily expand upon the universe or set up potential future plot points, it does provide a good backstory for how Wayne begins working with his Robins. Unfortunately, because the story is so short, the individual Robins do not get much characterization; each kid’s lines could be interchanged with those of another without impacting the story at all. The Robins are beloved characters in the DC Universe, and it is a shame that we don’t see them get that much development in their appearances in Dark Knights of Steel, not even in their own origin story.
Izaakse’s art is adequate. It is not as breathtaking as that of the other two stories, but there isn’t anything particularly bad about it either.
The third and final story in the issue is titled “King’s Bane,” written by C.S. Pacat and illustrated by Michele Bandini. The story begins with a young Bruce Wayne and his guards being ambushed by “The King’s Bane” (Bane), a former palace guard from when the Waynes were in control of the kingdom. Bane offers to train Wayne how to fight and kill beings with superpowers and overthrow the El Royal family. Wayne accepts the offer and trains with Bane, and the two eventually set out to kill the family. However, Wayne betrays Bane, using his weakness against him as he cuts him off from his source of power and defends the Els.
This story gives us a much-needed look into Wayne’s past following the deaths of his parents in this universe. The training of Batman is always an interesting point of DC canon, so it is interesting to see how it played out in the Dark Knights of Steel universe. Wayne training under Bane is an incredible concept that unfortunately would not necessarily fit into main continuity, so it is interesting to see it utilized in this universe. Furthermore, the backstory provided for Bane–while skewing a bit from his usual history–is a really cool reimagining of the villain. In particular, the replacement of the steroid Venom with magic potion pumping into Bane is a nice touch.
Bandini’s art fits both the story and universe very well, and it is very reminiscent of the art in the main Dark Knights of Steel series. The medieval redesigns created for this particular story are also really well-done, especially Bane’s. His design is incredibly reminiscent of the character Guts from popular manga series Berserk, especially with the addition of an oversized broadsword.
Dark Knights of Steel: Tales from the Three Kingdoms #1 is a solid collection of tales from this new universe crafted by Tom Taylor. Each story is incredibly well-written and illustrated and gives a fun look into the past of the main characters. However, outside of a few details, it does not do much to expand a universe with vast potential. This is due to the fact that each story is short and rather self-contained, and they primarily focus on characters that are already the focal point of the main series.
Batman in particular plays a main role in all three of the stories, and Superman plays a main role in two of them. We already have an entire series that primarily focuses on the two of them in this universe–among other characters like Constantine and Wonder Woman–so it seems like Tom Taylor and co. missed out on an opportunity to flesh out some of the supporting cast. For example, Zala, while a main player, sort of plays second fiddle to her brothers Kal and Bruce and could serve as an interesting solo focus of an anthologized story. Furthermore, the Titans–who have just been introduced in the main series–could serve as great subjects for a standalone story.

Yesterday, on Twitter, I said… Arpaio's "Con Rail" trips make for an interesting media frenzy… You know he hates the attention, right? The responses were immediate and were opinionated. Today, I discussed the idea with a friend who use to work for a Colorado County Sherriff's department and had picked up prisoners from the airport. Never once did they pay for parking. He said he does't think it is a good idea to use the light rail for carrying prisoners. "That is an accident waiting to happen."
Today, Metro issued this release concerning the transportation of prisoners on the light rail line.
For immediate release
January 28, 2009
METRO concerned with the Sherriff’s Office new inmate transportation plan
PHOENIX — Since yesterday’s announcement by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to transport inmates on light rail, METRO has received passenger feedback expressing concern for their personal and family safety.
METRO’s goal is to provide a safe, secure and reliable journey for its passengers. Any situation that creates concern for passengers and discourages ridership is of great concern to METRO.
The METRO light rail vehicle, much like any public transit vehicle, is not a controlled environment and not designed for this application. Transporting inmates using public transportation is not a common practice nationally and has not occurred locally on the Valley’s bus system.
It is anticipated that the METRO Board of Directors will consider a resolution requesting the Sherriff’s Office to reconsider this proposal in light of concerns expressed by Valley residents. METRO would welcome an opportunity to discuss with the Sherriff’s Office better solutions that meet everyone’s needs.

Well, it’s the end of 40k as we know it! Join us at the Guildford Games Club for one last hurrah of the current 40k Apocalypse rules, and find out dark truths before your Codex is obsolete!
One day, painted models only, but no points limit – rather a set turn time limit.
Tickets are £15 in advance, £20 on the day (So please pay before!)
This promises to be the best Apocafez ever, so share far and wide to make it truely ‘epic’.
Follow these links for some photos of past Apocafez events:
14 players met to participate and a great time was had by all.
– Zombie plague: Roll a D6 before the game. On a 5+ you are fighting in an area affected by the zombie plague, use the treacherous condition Plague of Flies – There are so many flies swarming through the air and crawling over the gangers that it makes it difficult to concentrate and see other targets. The distraction caused by the flies means that all model that shoot suffer a -1 to hit penalty for the whole game.
– Tensions Rising: Gangers ‘captured’ by lawful gangs must be turned into Precinct 19 immediately as a suspect in the recent PDF raids. Following interrogation first by Precinct 19 and then Ordo Hereticus agents, gangers will either not survive the ordeal or will be summarily exectued. Treat as having rolled a ‘dead’ result on the injury table. (Note that the capturing gang may not keep any of the dead gangers equipment.)
– Protect the Prophet: Gangers ‘captured’ by outlander or outlaw gangs will not be ransomed – they will be immediately killed so as not to have the chance to alert the authorities as to the location of the recently outlawed gangs, especially the ‘prophet’ Gangrene. Treat as having rolled a ‘dead’ result on the injury table. (Note that the capturing gang may not keep any of the dead gangers equipment). Scavvies may also eat the unfortunate ganger.
– Black Market Crackdown: Only 1 rare item will be offered to the gang leader at lawful trading posts instead of D3. Gangers sent along with the gang leader will not be offered a rare item, but can instead still use their +1 trade to purchase items from another house list if desired. Outlander trading posts are unaffected.
– Zombie Plague: All outlander and outlaw gangs may ‘hire’ plague zombies – see comments on this post for details.
– Frateris Templar: All lawful gangs may ‘hire’ Frateris Templar – see below for details.
Cost to recruit: 10 credits
Zombie plague breaks out from time to time in the Underhive and packs of flesh eating plague zombies are yet another of the many dangers in the hive’s dark underbelly. These shambling neurone plague victims live in wild packs living off what carrion they can find or anything that’s stupid enough to let itself be caught. Scavvies often round up packs of zombies and send them against outposts, settlements and rival gangs that they are attacking. In sufficient numbers these contagious creatures are fearsome opponents.
Weapons: Plague Zombies don’t have wargear; they are armed with a variety of improvised weapons but lack the finesse to gain any real benefit from them.
Recruitment: An outlander or outlaw gang can ‘buy’ Plague Zombies for a game, the cost representing bits of food used to lure them. If the 10 credits is paid then D6 Zombies come along to fight. Note the gang cannot pay more than 10 credits otherwise they risk being overrun themselves! The Zombies are under the control of the player for the entire game, but scatter back to their wandering existence after the fight.
Scenarios: Zombies are deployed like regular gang models and count towards any scenario fighter limits. Zombies cannot interact with non-fighter scenario objectives – eg loot counters. They don’t contribute towards winning or losing conditions and are ignored for Bottle roll purposes.
Shuffle: Plague Zombies usually stagger around with broken, faltering steps. Occasionally when they get the scent of blood in their decaying nostrils, they can break into a loping, shambling run.
To represent their unpredictable gait Plague Zombies move 2D6″ in the movement phase. Each Zombie is rolled for individually and the Scavvy player may move them as he wishes up to the distance rolled. Note Zombies cannot go into hiding and follow the usual movement rules if downed. Plague Zombies may not run or charge, they always move 2D6″. However, Plague Zombies always count as charging into hand-to-hand combat if they manage to reach base contact with an enemy model.
No Pain: You can burn Zombies, shoot them or cut them up and they’ll still just keep trying to bite you. Zombies are immune from the negative effects of pinning, flesh wounds and gas clouds. If a Zombie is set on fire then he can still move as normal. If the alight Zombie ‘charges’ into base contact with an enemy model then he automatically inflicts a S3 hit before the bases being separated as per the catching fire rules.
No Fear: Zombies lack the intellect to be afraid as the reasoning parts of their brains are long gone. They are immune from nerve tests.
Plague!: Naturally, Plague Zombies carry the dreaded neurone zombie plague. If a model is taken out of action by a Zombie he may contract the disease and (gulp) turn into a Plague Zombie. At the end of the game, each affected model must roll a D6 to see if they are infected. Note this roll is made before the Serious Injury roll:
Clear: After a few tense days no symptoms of zombie plague have emerged and the gang member is in the clear.
Sickness: The victim feels weak and ill for days and must miss the gang’s next fight while he recovers.
Zombie Time! The gang member is infected and suffers brain death within hours. The new Zombie wanders off into the wastes to join his fellows. All of the model’s equipment is infected and counts as destroyed.
Cost to recruit: 10 credits
Civilians are taking up arms, unsatisfied with Precinct 19 and the PDF’s response to the recent zombie plague, citizens are taking matters into their own hands in the name of the Imperial Cult:
Weapons: Citizens are armed with a variety of improvised weapons but lack the finesse to gain any real benefit from them.
Recruitment: A lawful gang can ‘buy’ Frateris Templar for a game, the cost representing donations to the Ecclesiarchy. If the 10 credits is paid then D6 Frateris Templar come along to fight. Note the gang cannot pay more than 10 credits. The citizens are under the control of the player for the entire game, but disperse to their homes after the fight.
Scenarios: Frateris Templar are deployed like regular gang models and count towards any scenario fighter limits. They cannot interact with non-fighter scenario objectives – eg loot counters. They don’t contribute towards winning or losing conditions and are ignored for Bottle roll purposes.
Unreliable: These are simple Imperial Citizens, eager to do their bit but woefuly unprepared for battle. To represent their unpredictable nature, Frateris Templar move 2D6″ in the movement phase. Each citizen is rolled for individually and the player may move them as he wishes up to the distance rolled. Note that citizens cannot go into hiding and follow the usual movement rules if downed. Frateris Templar may not run or charge, they always move 2D6″. However, they will count as charging into hand-to-hand combat if they manage to reach base contact with an enemy model.
Devout Faith: Frateris Templar have an almost unhinged desire to ‘do their bit’ in the name of the Emperor. Despite their lack of training, their religious frenzy makes them are immune from the negative effects of pinning, flesh wounds and gas clouds. If a citizen is set on fire then he can still move as normal. If the alight citizen ‘charges’ into base contact with an enemy model then he automatically inflicts a S3 hit before the bases being separated as per the catching fire rules.
No Fear: Frateris Templar believe that the emperor will protect them if they are worthy. They are immune from nerve tests.
Justice of the faith: Frateris Templar fight with a religious zeal. If a model is taken out of action by a Frateris Templar, they may suffer the consequences. At the end of the game, each affected model must roll a D6 to see what happens to them. Note this roll is made before the Serious Injury roll:
Somehow missed: The ganger somehow avoids the attentions of the Frateris Templar and is left alone.
Severely beaten: The victim is beaten to within an inch of their life and must miss the gang’s next fight while he recovers.
Heretic! The gang member is declared as a heretic and is dragged off by the Frateris Templar and publicly burned at the stake in the name of the Emperor! The ganger and all their equipment is lost.
A report regarding the events of last Monday evening, the raid on the primary territory of the Spring City Scrappers (SCS) following an undercover operation by an agent of Precinct 19 who had infiltrated the gang.
With proof finally being recieved of the SCS black market food importation from upper levels, careful examinations of several local food stashes in the ruins of Old-Guilders have confirmed that the recent infestation of worm like creatures have been feeding on the illegal food supplies.
Our undercover operative passed information to Precinct 19 regarding the latest shipment, however one of our enforcer teams was spotted examining a supply stash and the SCS made the decision to abandon their operations in New-Guilders, knowing the game was up.
Our operative made us aware of SCS’s plan to abandon the settlement on Monday evening, by loading all their supplies into transports and moving to another dome. Precinct 19 enganged the assistance of the PDF to raid the SCS settlement and attempt to capture or subdue as many gang members as possible during the loading process.
However, when the PDF arrived on location, two other local gangs were unexpectedly in attendence. These gangs were clearly in an agitated state, we assume they had co-operated in order to make their own raid on the SCS settlement, but they then proceeded to open fire on the PDF troopers as they approached the settlement boundary.
Despite suffering heavy casualties on the approach, the operation has been deemed a complete success. A full report will follow, along with a list of assets acquired, gang members involved and/or captured (including those belonging to the gangs already on location) as well as a report of PDF, gang and civilian casualties.
Anarchy descends on New-Guilders!
A large scale firefight broke out late last night near the main territory of the notorious gang known as the ‘Spring City Scrappers’. Precinct 19 will publish a full briefing regarding the events of that evening shortly, however numerous eye witnesses have described seeing it ‘literally raining bullets’ and described the aftermath as an ‘absolute bloodbath’. Gunfire and sirens could be heard long into the night. The entire area has been cordoned off by PDF forces who are restricting access very enthusiastically to any unauthorised citizens, our advice is to avoid the area entirely.
In completely unrelated news, a large scale black market food smuggling ring has been exposed, following a long undercover investigation by Precinct 19. expect a high enforcer presence at local trading posts for the foreseeable future.
Reports of strange creatures in the ruins have mysteriously ceased. Good news? Perhaps, but we do have to ask where they went, and what they were…
(Note – in case any of you have not worked out yet, Precinct 19 is me as the arbitrator!)
March Game Rules:
– Citizens Arrests: Gangers ‘captured’ by house gangs must be turned into Precinct 19 immediately. A reward will be issued. (Gangers ‘captured’ by outlander gangs treat this as full recovery instead)
– Black Market Crackdown: Only 1 rare item will be offered to your gang leader at trading posts instead of D3. Gangers sent along with the gang leader will not be offered a rare item, but can instead still use their +1 trade to purchase items from another house list if desired.
– Wanted Men: If you hire any new gang member this month, (including ‘free’ juves from settlements) roll a D6. On a 4+, please report to Precinct 19 ASAP for further information.
– Medical Alert: Any ganger who has been affected by either the February monster roll, or was ‘slimed’ in the campaign special launch game, please report to Precinct 19 after your March game for medical evaluation.
It’s back. He’s back. In Black.
2017’s hottest 40k event, the ApocaFez returns to Guildford.
No points limits, all painted models, many side missions and thematic rules.
Thank you all for updating your Yaktribe rosters.
With the New-Guilders gangs currently slightly ahead on total gang ratings, the expansion into the new areas of Guilders-Ford is proceeding better than expected.
However, more and more reports are coming in of strange creatures and missing persons… Has the expansion perhaps been too hasty? Questions are starting to be asked as to why the New-Guilders dome was originally abandoned. Precinct 19 researchers have been busy in the archives, but have so far found no mention of the mysterious new dome.
Enforcer perimeter patrols have been stepped up, and a sector-wide curfew has been issued for the New-Guilders area.
Meanwhile, in Old-Guilders, work crews are busy round the clock rebuilding the areas gutted by the great fire. The old gangs have been lending their support, whilst taking advantage of the restoration to expand their territories and influence.
So far, things have mostly been good all round, but now available territories are few and far between – old rivalries and grudges are beginning to come to the surface, and citizens are starting to go missing with alarming regularity…
February Game Rules:
– Treat all ‘captured’ results as ‘full recovery’
– Foraging: any gang member who did not go out of action, work territory or visit the trading post may forage for D6 credits after all income is completed. Outlander gangs may instead add +1 to all foraging rolls.
– Strange Creatures: Something is hiding in the ruins. All games must use the ‘Monster Roll’ rule, and this must be rolled every turn. If a model is taken out of action as a result of this roll, you must notify me with the ganger’s name and the injury result rolled.
– Deeper exploration: Roll a D6 before the game. On a 1 or 2, you are fighting in the ruins of Old-Guilders, where the work crews have yet to reach. the entire ground level of the table is covered by a thick layer of ash, and counts as difficult terrain.
– Trading post: One extra item will be offered to your leader at the trading post this month.
– Territory: After completing your post-game phase, roll a new territory to add to your roster.

Each year about 600 high school students take classes at the University.
Seventeen-year-old Paul Banwart could be passing notes in homeroom, hanging out by his locker or going to the prom. Instead, Banwart lives in Middlebrook Hall.
Though it’s the accounting junior’s first semester at the University, he has yet to graduate from high school.
No longer attending classes at Shakopee High School, Banwart will return for graduation for his final act as a high school student.
Through the state’s postsecondary enrollment option, Banwart has graduated from Normandale Community College with an associate’s degree in accounting.
Danielle Tisinger, the University’s PSEO program coordinator, said the state-funded program allows the University to enroll 450 high school juniors and seniors each fall.
The University admits another 50 students in the spring.
Since the program is selective in its requirements, Tisinger said the program does not recruit students.
Of the nearly 600 students enrolled in the program this year, Tisinger said 10 live on campus.
Some of the criteria for students in the program include grade point average, high school rank, rigor of the classes they are taking in high school and the quality of the admissions essay, Tisinger said.
Banwart has been The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Eagle Scout for the past three years.
Camping with the Boy Scouts of America is kind of like the living situation in Middlebrook Hall, Banwart said.
“In the Boy Scouts, I went camping a lot,” he said.
Postsecondary education option student Paul Banwart lives on campus while taking University classes.
“You always had a tent partner.”
Though Banwart said he’s been making friends, he said he isn’t able to be a part of extra-curricular activities like in the past.
“This semester it’s different. It’s too hard to travel back and forth to play sports or be in clubs,” Banwart said.
He has foregone varsity tennis, varsity soccer, National Honor Society and student council to be an on-campus college student.
His father, Mark Banwart, said Paul Banwart is doing PSEO because it paid off for his older brother, University alumnus Benjamin Banwart, who went to college almost for free.
“As you know, college is expensive,” Mark Banwart said. “If you’re mentally mature enough and develop some study skills, it’s worth a shot.”
While Banwart might not be on the Shakopee campus for classes, principal Jim Murphy said the program has helped more than 30 students, including Paul Banwart, do the PSEO program this year.
Murphy said this year two students from the high school are attending the University full-time through PSEO.
Murphy said the College in the Schools – which offers college credits at the students’ high schools – and PSEO programs are emphasized for students in Shakopee. The high school offers eight college courses for students and will be adding one more in the fall.
Much like his brother, Paul Banwart will graduate from the Carlson School of Management at 19 years old.
“My brother did PSEO, as well,” he said. “In a way, I’m following in his footsteps.”

Blue baby syndrome, also known as infant methemoglobinemia, is a condition where a baby’s skin turns blue. This occurs due to a decreased amount of hemoglobin in the baby’s blood.
Hemoglobin is a blood protein that is responsible for carrying oxygen around the body and delivering it to the different cells and tissues.
When the blood is unable to carry oxygen around the body, the baby turns blue (cyanotic).
Blue baby syndrome is rare in industrialized countries, but it does occasionally occur in rural areas. Babies born in developing countries with poor water supply continue to be at risk for the condition.
The most common cause of blue baby syndrome is water contaminated with nitrates.
After a baby drinks formula made with nitrate-rich water, the body converts the nitrates into nitrites. These nitrites bind to the hemoglobin in the body, forming methemoglobin, which is unable to carry oxygen.
Nitrates are most common in drinking water in farming communities that use well water. This contamination is due to the use of fertilizers and manure.
Infants younger than 3 months are at highest risk for blue baby syndrome, but it can also occur in other populations.
People at risk for methemoglobinemia include adults with:
- a genetic predisposition
- ulcers or gastritis
- kidney failure requiring dialysis
Other conditions that can cause a baby to appear blue include:
- Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF): TOF is a serious congenital heart condition causing four structural abnormalities in the heart that lead to a lack of oxygen in the blood. This condition can cause a baby to look blue, though it usually occurs at birth.
- Other congenital heart abnormalities: Any congenital heart abnormality that affects the amount of oxygen in a baby’s blood can cause their skin to turn blue.
- Methemoglobinemia: This is due to exposure to inhaled nitric oxide, or certain anesthetics and antibiotics.
The most common symptom of blue baby syndrome is a blue discoloration of the skin around the mouth, hands, and feet. This is also known as cyanosis and is a sign that the child or person is not getting enough oxygen.
Other potential symptoms of blue baby syndrome include:
- difficulty breathing
- increased salivation
- loss of consciousness
In severe cases, blue baby syndrome can even cause death.
A doctor may suspect that an infant has blue baby syndrome during a regular checkup. Parents or caregivers who notice a bluish discoloration should schedule an appointment with a doctor.
The doctor will begin the diagnosis by taking a thorough medical history by asking about any symptoms, feeding patterns, and the conditions at home. They will then perform a physical exam, looking at the discolored areas discoloration and listening to the heart and lungs.
Additional diagnostic tests may include:
- blood tests
- chest X-rays to look at the lungs and heart
- echocardiogram to look at the heart and how well it functions
- oxygen saturation to determine how much oxygen is in the blood
- cardiac catheterization to directly look at the blood vessels and structures inside the heart
In addition to testing the baby, it is possible to get the tap water tested to measure the nitrate levels.
In general, water with nitrate levels below 10miligrams per liter (mg/L) is considered safe. If a water sample has nitrate levels above 10mg/L, do not give it to an infant.
Treatment will vary depending on what is causing the baby to turn blue. If congenital heart disease is causing the discoloration, surgery may be required to correct the abnormalities.
A surgeon will usually operate before the baby turns 1 year old, ideally at around 6 months of age, or even a little earlier. Successful surgery means that the baby will start to get more oxygen and will no longer look blue.
If high nitrate levels in the water are causing blue baby syndrome, the doctor will likely need to consult with the local poison control center or toxicologist to help figure out the best way to treat the condition.
Avoiding the source of nitrate contamination, such as well water or tap water, is essential for all children with this condition.
Doctors may monitor children with a mild form of blue baby syndrome to make sure that they do not develop any further health problems as a result of the condition.
Children with a more severe form of the condition may need a medication called methylene blue, which a doctor will give as an injection.
Blue baby syndrome is a rare condition that occurs when infants drink formula that has been made with water contaminated by high levels of nitrates.
For this reason, it is essential to avoid giving infants water from a well until they turn at least 1 year of age. Medication and monitoring the baby can usually prevent any complications. Left untreated, however, blue baby syndrome can be life-threatening.
Most children with blue baby syndrome go on to live a normal and healthy life without lasting health complications.

Pearly's bio up on website
Pearly is shopping for her forever home. You can see her bio here.We've talked to a few possible adopters, but the more I talk to people the more I'm defining what would be a good match for her. Even though she's a puppy, still, she's bossy. So many dynamics to consider. I don't have a lot of experience with female dogs, even though my first collie was a female and she got along with other dogs, I don't remember her being much of a diva, although we were pretty much attached at the hip. We lived in the country where she was able to run loose, so she probably drained a lot of her energy.
Pretty much on a daily basis, Pearly and Brett get into a squabble. It's not serious, but one of them starts it and the other fights back, which is easily stopped by me, but it's still happening. They even do this sometimes at the dog park. It's just the two of them, no other dogs. Pearly gets along great with the other dogs. She loves to run and is absolutely joyous when another dog takes off running. She will come from the other side of the park to chase that dog if she sees a runner. Brett will then plow into her and she will lay into him. I don't blame her.
Thus, I have decided Pearly probably needs to be an only dog, unless the adopter is willing to work with this possibility. Having more than one dog is like having multiple children. They get into fights. My own to get into it once in a while, but not often. I have two males. I think two females in one house is more volatile.
Pearly is still a very sweet dog. She loves to half climb in my lap and will stay there until I make her get down. Snapped this picture last night of her and Brett, proving they do get along most of the time. She actually plays with Brett more than Woodson.


Lovin’ the Greens
Banff National Park, Alberta
In this image, I caught one of the cubs with a mouthful of greens. The cubs were feeding near the roadside with their mom; I think she felt safe near the security of people. It meant she didn’t have to worry as much about male bears. The park personnel had done a great job keeping her safe by monitoring the area on a regular basis.

2010 Ford Fusion
Detroit, Michigan – The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2010 Ford Transit Connect were named North American Car of the Year and North American Truck of the Year respectively this morning at a ceremony during the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It is only the third time in 17 years that one manufacturer has won both awards.
“Winning both of these prestigious awards is confirmation that the “ONE” Ford plan is working, delivering industry-leading products for our customers,” said Mark Fields, president of Ford of The Americas.
A jury of 49 automotive journalists in the United States and Canada vote for the vehicles, which must be “all-new” or “substantially changed” from the previous model to qualify for the awards.
The Fusion Hybrid edged out finalists including the Buick LaCrosse and Volkswagen Golf/GTI to win the North American Car of the Year award. It is the fourth hybrid vehicle in 17 years to win the award. It also is the second hybrid win for Ford – the Ford Escape Hybrid was named North American Truck of the Year in 2005.
The Transit Connect bested finalists including the Chevrolet Equinox and Subaru Outback to win the North American Truck of the Year award. It is the sixth Ford truck to win the award – it also is the second year in a row that Ford has captured the title. Last year, top honours went to the 2009 Ford F-150.
The fuel-efficient gasoline-electric Fusion Hybrid sedan has received numerous other awards this year including one of Car and Driver’s “10Best” Cars, one of Automobile Magazine’s 2010 All-Stars, Consumer’s Digest Best Buy, one of America’s Top 40 cars by Motor Trend, one of Ward’s Ten Best Engines, and the entire Fusion lineup earned the Motor Trend Car of the Year award, and was one of Autos’s Top Picks for 2010.
The 2010 Fusion Hybrid is built at Ford’s Hermosillo plant in Mexico.
The Ford Transit Connect offers double the fuel economy of full-size vans and more than double the cargo-carrying capacity of the compact Chevrolet HHR Panel. It offers commercial users a cargo payload of up to 726 kg (1,600 lbs) – a larger payload than the full-size Dodge Ram 1500 standard-cab short-box pickup truck.
The Ford Transit Connect was also named 2010 Editors Choice for Vans by Car and Driver Magazine, 2010 Popular Mechanics Automotive Excellence Award for Best Workhorse Vehicle, Detroit Free Press 2010 Truck of the Year, the Detroit News 2010 Truck of the Year, and A Great Car for the Small Business Delivery/Utility Worker by Kelley Blue Book kbb.com.
The 2010 Ford Transit Connect is built at the Ford Otosan Kocaeli Plant in Kocaeli, Turkey.
