The Shadowmourne questline will receive significant changes in Wrath Classic Phase 4
Wrath of the Lich King Classic patch 3.4.3 arrives October 10 and will be the start of the games fourth phase of content. Over the last few weeks, the patch 3.4.3 PTR has been began testing some of the content players will be able to experience in Phase 4, specifically Icecrown Citadel, the flagship raid that ended in a showdown with the expansion’s namesake: the Lich King himself. Players will be able to take the fight to him on October 12 at 3 PM PDT.
One of the notable items returning from the original expansion is the legendary two-handed axe, Shadowmourne, which is only useable by Warriors, Paladins, and Death Knights. In order to forge Shadowmourne, players needed to complete a complex questline that involved completing Icecrown Citadel each week for multiple weeks. By Blizzard’s own estimate, it could take between 18-24 weeks to complete this questline, depending on the drop rates of each item needed.
To fit with the current iteration of Wrath Classic, Blizzard has made changes to the Shadowmourne questline in Phase 4 that keep it in line with how the game has been developed:
- Shadowfrost Shards will no longer require that a player in your raid group to have advanced to the quest “The Splintered Throne” in order to drop.
- The drop rate of Shadowfrost Shards on 25 player normal has been adjusted to match the drop rates of 25 player heroic.
- The “end” boss of each wing (Saurfang, Lana’thel, Putricide, Sindragosa, and The Lich King) will now always drop a single guaranteed Shadowfrost Shard on both 25-player normal and heroic difficulties.
- Primordial Saronite will be more obtainable as well and will be purchasable from both the Emblem of Frost vendor as well with a new currency gained in Titan Rune Dungeon: Gamma Protocol dungeons.
With these changes, players should now be able to complete the Shadowmourne questline in 8-10 weeks. Blizzard explains that while Wrath Classic Phase 4 will be around for a while, it won’t be around as long as the original Icecrown phase, which was 11 months. Because of this, it made sense to adjust the requirements of this quest to give players more of an opportunity to earn this item, use it, and enjoy it while the Phase 4 content is current.
This isn’t all the information coming for Icecrown Citadel, nor is it final! Blizzard makes it clear that drop rates and any other adjustments are still on the table during this PTR testing phase and up until release. As PTR testing continues, we should get a better idea for the direction they’re heading in for Phase 4 so be sure to check back here!

Boynton Beach CRA finds ways to make up for projected $1 million drop in revenues
The city Community Redevelopment Agency will have nearly $1 million less in income to work with in the 2012-2013 budget year, according to its proposed budget, which posted this week.
Even so, the agency plans to spend about the same amount — around $1.7 million — on new projects as last year, said Vivian Brooks, its executive director. Those projects include the development of the Boynton Harbor Marina and parking spaces near the Ocean Avenue Amphitheater.
“It was a Houdini trick,” Brooks said. She said her agency cut corners where possible and did well with grants.
The CRA board, comprised of city commissioners plus two appointed members, will conduct its budget workshop Wednesday and vote on its budget in September.
The CRA would take in $6.725 million in revenues in 2012-2013, down 12 percent from the $7.65 million collected in the last budget year. A big part of that is a 6 percent drop in tax revenue, which the agency attributes to enduring declines in city property values.
To make up some of the missing $1 million, the CRA proposes to spend $25,000 in unused money from its emergency fund as well as $300,000 that had been in its general fund reserves.
Under the budget, the agency’s largest expense would be $800,000 for continuing development of the marina. It also would spend $254,500 on special events, including the Holiday parade and concert, the holiday boat parade and the CRA’s series of movies and concerts at the Ocean Avenue Amphitheater. The budget earmarks $217,584 to create about 80 parking spaces near the amphitheater.
There might be a little money later. The CRA’s proposed 2012-2013 budget presumes the city approves the same tax rate as last year. But the city is proposing raising its property tax rate from $7.19 per $1,000 of taxable value to $7.60, which would raise an extra $1 million. The city commission is set to vote on its budget in September.
The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency will hold a budget workshop next Wednesday at the Intracoastal Park clubhouse at 2240 N. Federal Highway. The CRA board is set to vote on the budget at its Sept. 11 regular meeting and the city commission is scheduled to ratify that at its Sept. 18 regular meeting; both of those will be at City Hall, 100 E. Boynton Beach Blvd.

Don’t forget to set your alarm. The new #ScreamMovie is coming to theatres March 31, 2023 🔪
— Scream (@ScreamMovies) March 18, 2022
Back in February, Spyglass Media Group, LLC (“Spyglass”) and Paramount Pictures gave the greenlight to move forward with the next installment of the popular horror franchise. The relaunched horror franchise had positive reviews from critics and fans alike propelling it to the #1 spot in its box office debut on January 14, 2022.
Returning are Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S) with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett at the helm and James Vanderbilt (Murder Mystery, Zodiac,) & Guy Busick (Ready or Not, “Castle Rock,”) co-writing the screenplay. Project X Entertainment’s Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein and William Sherak are serving as producers (Ambulance, Bed Rest). Creator Kevin Williamson and the third member of Radio Silence, Chad Villella, are executive producing alongside Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.
Principal photography is slated to begin this Summer. Keeping with tradition, plot details are under wraps.
The latest installment earned a “Certified Fresh” score from Rotten Tomatoes and recently surpassed the $100 million global box office milestone.

Many factors can cause balance and fall problems, particularly among older adults. In fact, one out of three seniors experiences a fall at least once each year. Leading risk factors for falls include:
- Being age 65 or older
- Prior history of falls
- Pre-existing medical conditions, such as stroke, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis or diabetes
- Dizziness, vertigo and unsteadiness resulting from inner ear imbalances (vestibular disorders)
After an initial assessment, the physical therapist will create an individualized program of exercises and activities designed to:
- strengthen weakened muscles, particularly in the ankle, knee and hips
- increase flexibility
- regain lost range of motion
- improve posture, upright stability and movement
The treatment plan often incorporates a walking regimen supplemented by balance, coordination and postural exercises.

The drill is being staged by the Erie County health department’s Office of Public Health Emergency Preparedness. The exercise will provide county employees and the county’s planning partners with practice in the mass distribution of medications required during a public health crisis. It is a precursor to a larger statewide exercise that is planned for 2016.
Among other goals, the requirements of the “point of dispensing” exercise calls for dispensing medications to up to 2,000 people per hour over a sustained 2-hour period. County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said the county’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness scores have been going up for the past three years.
In addition to taking part in the exercise, participants will have access to safely dispose their unused or unwanted prescription drugs and needles, obtain public health information and educational materials, and enter free raffles for door prizes.

Coronavirus is primed with the health sector in Italy
56 doctors dead and about 8,000 infected toilets Doctors and nurses report that they do not have enough protection devices to avoid becoming infected
They are doctors and nurses, not heroes. The Italian toilets ask to lower the epic tone and instead provide them with enough protective material not to risk their lives in the coronavirus pandemic. There are already 56 doctors killed by Covid-19, which has infected nearly 8,000 health workers, about 9% of the total infected in the country, according to data from the Higher Institute of Health (ISS).
Roberto Carlo Rossi, president of the National Federation of Medical Colleges, denounces that the shortage of face masks, glasses and suits they suffer is "dramatic" and regrets that in many regions they are hardly being tested to find out if they have contracted the disease . “We are going blind, because everyone, even asymptomatic people, can have viral load. This is extremely dangerous, "says Rossi.
Medical authorities acknowledge that hospitals have become hotbeds of transmission for Covid-19 and that the disease is being primed with toilets. "The high potential for healthcare transmission of this pathogen is evident," warns the ISS.
The spread of doctors, nurses, caretakers and other staff adds even more pressure to the health system in the most affected areas. In Bergamo, the province with the most cases, of the 600 doctors that public health has, there are more than 140 who have contracted the coronavirus.
In some regions, psychological support is being offered to health workers to help them cope with the enormous emotional and workload that the pandemic is causing. They are tired and scared. They are afraid of being wrong, of getting it, and of not being able to continue in these conditions. They have been working non-stop for weeks, with the rhythms of an unexpected and deceptive emergency that no one knows how long it will last, "says psychologist Daniela Barberio, who collaborates with the Pascale hospital in Naples.
"There is anguish, restlessness, suffering and a mixture of powerlessness and omnipotence," says Barberio in an interview with the Neapolitan newspaper 'Il Mattino'. One of the great fears of healthcare workers is becoming vectors of infection and infecting other patients or their own relatives themselves. The pandemic yesterday exceeded 10,000 deaths in Italy, while more than 92,000 are infected, of which 12,000 have been cured. After almost 20 days of mandatory seclusion for the population of the entire national territory, the break is complete in many sectors of the economy, which begins to weigh on the pockets of many families.
To try to avoid a social outbreak motivated by the recession caused by the pandemic, the Government announced last night that it will advance 4.7 billion euros to help the most disadvantaged classes in the face of the economic hardships suffered by the Covid-19. For the fourth consecutive Sunday since the coronavirus pandemic spread through Italy, the Pope led the Angelus prayer from inside the library of the Apostolic Palace.
In his address after the Marian prayer, Francis especially recalled all people "who suffer the vulnerability of being forced to live in a group", as occurs in asylums, barracks and prisons. «I have read an official note from the human rights commission that talks about the problem of mass prisons, which could turn into a tragedy. I call on the authorities to take the necessary measures to prevent future tragedies, "said the Pontiff, who joined the request launched by the United Nations Secretary-General for a global and immediate ceasefire to be established worldwide with reason for the health emergency «Conflicts are not resolved through war. It is necessary to overcome antagonisms through dialogue and a constructive search for peace, "asked the Bishop of Rome.

Bread Baker. Oven Operator. Pastry Pro.
Wake up and grab a bite at Persephone Bakery
with chef and owner,
“I think my wife hid all my ‘normal’ clothes, hoping I wouldn’t wear them anymore,” Kevin Cohane says dryly. He’s digging around in a hall closet for a missing jacket. After locating the canvas in question, he yells goodbye to Ali (his wife), Sophie and Mabel (their two dogs) and we walk into the crisp Wyoming morning. “Follow me,” he says. “Let’s go see what’s happening at the bakery.”
In 2011, Kevin (alongside Ali) started Persephone Bakery in Jackson. Originally from Connecticut, Kevin came out West to ski and made a living cooking in local restaurants. Ali, from Chicago, waited tables and studied graphic design. When Kevin returned to Wyoming from Paris after studying at Le Cordon Bleu, Persephone came to life in a warehouse space in South Jackson. Kevin would bake fresh, artisanal goods each day, wholesaling them to local businesses, and his bread yielded an overwhelming demand. Last year, he and Ali opened a whitewashed Café space on East Broadway Avenue, downtown, serving a full breakfast and lunch menu alongside the fresh bread and pastries that put them on the map.
Kevin still bakes during the busy summer season (a job that requires a 4am start time), but since winter in Jackson is “slow” by local’s standards, his morning today is relaxed. Earlier, he’d hand-ground coffee beans while Ali prepared loose leaf tea. The dogs – tired from yesterday’s hike, Kevin tells us – are slumped leisurely on the wood floors. “We’re both pretty much up and out of here on most days; so we don’t keep much food in the house,” Ali had said. “We’ve even had to ask friends to pick up a loaf of bread before stopping by for dinner… for a couple who owns a bakery, that’s pretty embarrassing.”
Kevin’s only morning grooming ritual is cleaning off his Warby Parker frames. “They’ve always got flour on them,” he laughs. “So, I stockpile lens wipes from Costco and scrub them down before I leave the house.” A short drive from home finds us in a South Jackson industrial park framed by snow-covered peaks – Persephone HQ. Inside the large space, several bakers mix dough and fashion loaves, pulling large racks of fresh bread from the massive ovens. Kevin’s pastry chef cuts brownie squares and stacks homemade S’mores. Kevin shows us how to use a ‘guitar cutter’ to slice pink, marshmallow confections. “These days, I spend a lot less time baking, and a lot more time fixing stuff,” Kevin smiles.
“I’ve kind of learned to love oven maintenance.”
Once the day’s deliveries are loaded into the delivery van and Kevin’s Suburban (the plastic bins share space with his skis), it’s time to drive back towards town, to the Café – they open at 7:00am. Kevin slips into the back of the restaurant, head down, his pants and boots streaked with flour. He pours himself a coffee behind the already bustling counter. Ali has arrived in the office, and Kevin swings through her office to chat with her, sipping his drink. They offer us breakfast, and soon herbed omelets, rabbit sausage and chocolate croissants appear on a reclaimed wood table. As we dig in, Kevin stands propped up against the counter. “That’s kind of it,” he says in his gentle manner. “This is pretty much what I do.” Then he disappears.

Shah Rukh Khan’s dance with a woman constable in uniform at Jai Hey, a variety show put up by the Kolkata Police, was not received sporting by a lot of political leaders.
“How a police woman in uniform could be allowed to dance on stage?” said Ritesh Tewari, a BJP leader. “The rules don’t allow a person in uniform to dance,” said state Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
While a former Kolkata Police Commissioner, Nirupam Som, has said on record that he would have never allowed it, another retired IPS officer Sandhi Mukherjee said, “Perhaps the dancing happened on the spur of the moment. But it would have been better if it had not happened.”
Reacting to the comments, superstar Shah Rukh Khan said it was not about the uniform but about a lady in uniform and such distinctions between men and women were “silly”.
“It’s strange. Four-five years back, I was shooting for Veer Zaara. At that time, I danced with jawans in uniform. In the ’60s and ’70s, many actors performed on the border for the jawans to encourage them. For the first time, it’s not about the uniform; it’s about a lady inspector in uniform. This distinction between men and women is rubbish and silly. It should not be even talked about,” stated Khan.

I'm just cuddled up on the sofa with my favourite blanket and a mug of chai tea - my current obsession. I love the stuff! It's been a pretty hectic day at work and even though it's almost midnight, I still feel like I haven't fully settled on the inside.
This last week I've been enjoying lots of big beef tomatoes and chunks of fresh pineapple. Yuuuummmmm! Ive been sprinkling my tomato wedges with pink salt to help replenish the salt I've been losing during my marathon training. I'm enjoying my running so much now that the weather is bright.
Ok...so here's my first ever raw loaf. It tasted pretty good although next time I'll be using milled linseeds to give a finer texture.
I hope you're all having a wonderful day xo

I have been insulted as a “denialist” if not “baby-eater” for far…warmer words than what has appeared last night on the BBC Science & Environment pages (as usual, one has to see things through the rather silly title of the piece).
Extract from “Polar bears can be saved by emissions cuts, study says”
by Neil Bowdler (BBC, 15 Dec 2010):
Dr Ted Maksym, of the British Antarctic Survey (Bas), said he agreed there was little evidence of “tipping points” in the Arctic.
“All the literature that has looked for a tipping point for sea ice has essentially found none. This has been drowned out a bit by the noise surrounding the 2007 minimum [for summer ice loss] and a possible ‘death spiral’ for Arctic sea ice.”
“The suggestion that if global temperature rise is kept below 1.25 degrees that polar bears will survive is encouraging; but given current trends this is not likely to be achieved. So we are by no means out of the woods.”
Professor Julian Dowdeswell of the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge, said such research was important, but that reality could turn out to be different – something the authors of the paper have recognised.
“To have a good physical understanding of the natural world, it’s important that we do run predictive models,” he said.
“But it’s equally important to remember that they are only models and not reality. Usually there is an envelope of possible futures, rather than one future.”

The action genre is a bit under-served now. A void left to fill by mostly young adult adaptations and superhero films. The protagonists I grew up on aren’t superheroes or major figures of influence they’re just plain humans. And putting simple humans together in a fight with only a drop of character easily creates an interesting dynamic.
Rush Hour 2, my favourite of the series has a great fight scene with Chris Tucker (30, at the time) and Zhang Ziyi (21, same age as me now!) making her English language debut. His character having rarely demonstrated anything beyond wisecracks to diminishing returns gives the audience an effective surrogate, no matter how annoying. In the Rush Hour universe mostly made up of boring political types and martial artists, Tucker’s character rests somewhere in the middle. It’s an exciting and rare occasion to see Detective Agent James Carter finally do some leg work solo after having handed most of it off to Jackie Chan’s Inspector Lee. And the audience is with it all the way.
It’s entertaining if a bit of a disservice to the gorgeously talented Zhang Ziyi, to share the marquee fight scene in the highest grossing martial arts movie, with Chris Tucker of all people. Then again with Brett Ratner at the helm, the Rush Hour films have never been regarded as high art. The scene opens by hinting at a typical action blend between Chan and Ziyi. Interpreted as a dangerous sign of overconfidence or support and dedication for his partner, we see Tucker step in. Speaking down to Hu Li (Chinese for Fox) and regarding an earlier non-confrontation as having “gone soft” on her because she’s a woman, Carter goes about his usual abrasiveness (highlighted by his crock-skin butter-cream suit) in attempt to outfox Li and gain the upper hand. The scene is easily one of the film’s best as everyone, including the audience understands what Carter is unwilling to admit, that he is comically over-matched.
As the fight begins, after an all talk introduction we see Carter cowering for his life. The panic on his face and desperation in his voice are one of the few times the performance is an asset. Using his few believable skills a combination of bluntness and ingenuity, Carter opportunistically uses various defensive props; a roulette wheel, a chair, rope, and a statue. It might be reaching to say they say something about the character themselves. This also runs as hilarious parody to Inspector Lee/ Chan’s anything as a prop fighting style.
In the end Carter survives due to a combination of dumb luck and his ability to get inside Hu Li’s head. His distracting techniques cause her to lose focus and knock herself out via her own weaponry. Saved by a thick stack of cash kept close to his heart we see what Carter holds dear, at least it is in the name if friendship.
*Rush Hour 2 is scheduled to be released on Blu-ray on January 6th, 2015

Nelson Mandela is at peace with himself, says daughter
Nelson Mandela's daughter has said her father is "at peace with himself," as South Africa and the world follow updates on the former president's worsened health.
The 94-year-old Nobel peace laureate is said to be in a critical condition, brought on by long-running lung problems.
The presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said that it was a “sombre time”.
And in an interview with American network CNN, Makaziwe Mandela said she believed her father was “at peace with himself.”
“He has given so much to the world. I believe he is at peace,” she said.
Asked if the family should “let him go”, she said they wouldn't because he had not asked them to.
Before becoming the country's first black president, Mandela first contracted tuberculosis during his stay in Robben Island prison. He is said to have damaged his lungs while working in a prison quarry.
President Jacob Zuma said doctors are doing everything possible to ensure Mandela's wellbeing and comfort during his fourth hospital visit since December. He refused to give any details about Mandela's condition, saying: “I'm not a doctor.”
He went on: “Madiba (Mandela's clan name) is critical in the hospital, and this is the father of democracy. This is the man who fought and sacrificed his life to stay in prison, the longest-serving prisoner in South Africa.
"He is one of those who has contributed to democracy.
“All of us in the country should accept the fact that Madiba is now old. As he ages, his health will ... trouble him and I think what we need to do as a country is to pray for him.”
Zuma, who in the past has given an overly sunny view of Mandela's health, briefly described his visit to the hospital in the capital and seeing Mandela.
“It was late, he was already asleep,” he said. “And we then had a bit of a discussion with the doctors as well as his wife, Graca Machel, and we left.”
Independent News Service


BOULDER — When I told Steven Montez that certain teammates had likened him to Johnny Manziel — the college football wiz kid, if not the party lord — Colorado’s starting quarterback was taken aback.
In a good way. A very good way.
It was Jay McIntyre who said it first. According to J-Mac, the wide receiver and coach’s son, Montez “wants to be Johnny Manziel,” which is why Montez tends to break the mold of recent Buffaloes quarterbacks. If Sefo Liufau hit the road with a map and hotel reservations, Montez has a thumb in the air, backpack at his side and inclination to wing it. Montez’s response?
“Jay, he’s too kind to compare me to a legend,” he said. “And that man, Johnny Manziel, is a legend.”
Explains a bit, doesn’t it?
What drives the CU coaches batty is also what gives the underdog Buffs a shot on Saturday night against No. 7 Washington: the quarterback, Montez, is a wild card — for his team, and the opponent. When the Buffs aren’t sure what Montez will do on any given play, how would the Huskies know?
“With Steven, you don’t always have to call a perfect play. That’s one thing that’s nice,” said Brian Lindgren, the quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator. “Sometimes they get you on a call and they know what’s coming. But Steven, he has the ability to make a play in spite of that. That’s a good thing. We want that.”
After a pause, like a teacher who wants to embolden a student’s creativity while ensuring he still colors between the lines, Lindgren added: “You just don’t want him to get too far outside of what we want to do.”
Before we go further, it must be said no one is saying Montez, who’s scattered six starts across two-plus seasons at Colorado, is the football equivalent of Manziel, a Heisman Trophy winner. Let’s not be silly. But we all have one, and Johnny Football was Montez’s guy. Growing up in El Paso, Montez said, there was no one bigger than the Texas A&M, as he put it, legend.
“I was a ginormous fan when he was at A&M. Loved watching him. He was just a playmaker,” said Montez, whose leap onto the scene came last year at Oregon, where he became the first Buff to throw for 300 yards (333, to be exact) and run for 100 (135) in the same game. “I mean, I think we both kind of have that playmaking aspect when it doesn’t go how it’s supposed to go. We make things happen outside the pocket.”
“I got a little swag to me. I like to talk trash,” Montez said. “And I know Johnny likes to have fun.”
In their Week 3 win against Northern Colorado, it wasn’t until Montez flipped his swag switch that the Buffs pulled away. As an anxious crowd at Folsom Field implored the quarterback to slide, Montez instead bulldozed shoulders first into the closest available tackler.
“Northern Colorado was getting a little talkative. That was the reason for my no-sliding rule,” said Montez, a certain NFL prospect at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds. “I wanted to make a point that we’re not going to take that. It was fun. I like to talk a little trash to get in their head.”
It should be remembered the Washington Huskies didn’t say much in their 41-10 win against the Buffs last year in the Pac-12 title game. They didn’t need to. UW’s superior athletes and game plan came together in the perfect storm of an old-fashioned beat-down, from the action on the field at Levi’s Stadium to the coaching on the sidelines. It looked like one team was happy to be there, the other happy to beat them there. As one Colorado coach said this week: “Not real proud of that game.”
Despite the stylistic differences between the Liufau era and the Montez era, the Buffs didn’t overhaul their offensive playbook entering this season.
“It’s pretty similar,” Lindgren said. “Each one has his strengths and weaknesses. Sefo started a lot of games. You knew what you were getting. What you told him, he was going to do exactly what the coach wants you to do. Steven, he’s going to improvise a little bit more. Sometimes he’s going to go off and make a play on his own. What we want is to rein him in a little bit.”
They know where to find him. The house where Montez lives is called The Lair, and, yes, it’s capitalized. Same with The Lab and The Batcave, two other off-campus residences inhabited by Buffs football players. Montez explained that applying a name to their various rental homes helps to limit miscommunication. “If you say, ‘The Lair,’ you know where we’ll be,” he said.
Saturday night against Washington, that’s in the spotlight. Not to add more pressure to Montez — or The Lair, the home he shares with a defensive player (Isaiah Oliver), offensive player (Brett Tonz) and special teams player (Nick Porter) — but Montez must be great for the Buffs to upset the Huskies.

Geneva, 1 August 2008 - For the first time in its history, the Solomon Islands began vaccinating its children today against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and four other common diseases through the use of a 5-1 vaccine purchased with funding from the GAVI Alliance.
Hib, a bacterium that can cause meningitis and pneumonia, is one of the biggest killers of young children in the developing world. Each year, Hib is estimated to be responsible globally for some three million serious illnesses and an estimated 400,000 deaths, the majority of them among children.
The Hib vaccine will be administered through a one shot vaccine that also includes antigens against four other diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and hepatitis B.
At an official ceremony taking place in the capital Honiara, the honorable Mr. Johnson Koli, Minister of Health and Medical Services of the Solomon Islands oversaw the first administration of the vaccine among a group of children.
The GAVI Alliance (formerly the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation) is a public-private partnership of major stakeholders in immunisation including WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank, developing country and donor governments, the vaccine industry, research and technical agencies, civil society, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The organization committed US$465,000 for the introduction of the vaccine.
"Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Solomon Islands' Ministry of Health, the WHO, UNICEF and other partners, this life-saving vaccine will provide more protection to children in the country, with fewer injections and with fewer visits to the health clinic," said Jeffrey Rowland of the GAVI Alliance.
Since 2000, GAVI Alliance has provided funding support and supplies for Hib vaccine under the Pentavalent form to the poorest countries in the world.
"The introduction of Hib vaccine has now completely changed the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis in countries where introduced. For example, the GAVI-supported vaccine has allowed Uganda to eliminate meningitis due to Hib as a public health problem," added Jeffrey Rowland.
"The introduction of this Pentavalent vaccine marks a milestone in the further development of the national immunisation programme in the Solomon Islands, and provides a significant hope for all families in the country" said Dr. William Adu-Krow, WHO Country Liaison Officer.

But then I pondered, well, I can't change it. ” Mazy sighed. ” “Oh, darlin, don't you know? ” She laughed then, her wide, fleshy face blotched red, her blue eyes brimmed. “I looked for the good in it when I found out ” Elizabeth licked her lips. ” Mazy nodded, touched her mother's chubby cheek with her finger, surprised at the smoothness. “I'm just…afraid,” Mazy said.

I was looking around the internet for some Autumn recipes and I came across a few that I am ABSOLUTELY GOING to try. I thought you might like to as well!
Topsy-Turvy Apple Pie
Glaze and Crust
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 box (15 oz) refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3. Add the beef stock and water, and let the soup simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Preheat the oven to broil. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven. Place the ciabatta on the middle rack of the oven and toast until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs from the soup and discard. Pour the soup into two ovenproof bowls, float the toasted ciabatta on top, and cover it with a thick layer of the Gruyère. 6. Put the soup bowls under the broiler on the middle rack and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and golden.
I don't know about you, but I certainly can't wait to try these DELICIOUS looking recipes!

Derivative contracts can be used to construct strategies to profit from volatility. Straddle and choke option positions, volatility index options and futures can be used to profit from volatility.
In a straddle strategy, traders buy the same underlying call options and put options with the same strike price and the same period. This strategy enables traders to profit from changes in the underlying price, so traders expect increased volatility.
For example, suppose that a trader purchases a call option and a put option on a stock with a strike price of $40 and an expiration date of three months. Assume that the current stock price of the underlying is also $40. Therefore, these two options are traded in money. Assume that the annual risk-free interest rate is 2%, and the annual standard deviation of the underlying price change is 20%. According to the Black-Scholes model, we can estimate that the call option price is $1.69 and the put option price is $1.49. (The put option parity also predicts that the cost of the call option and the price of the put option are approximately $0.2.) The cost of this strategy includes the sum of the call option price and the put option price-$3.18. This strategy allows long positions to profit from any price change, regardless of whether the underlying price is rising or falling. Here is how the strategy can profit from volatility when prices are rising and falling:
Scenario 1: The price of the mark at expiry is higher than $40. In this case, the put option is worthless when it expires, and the trader exercises the call option to realize the value.
Scenario 2: The price of the mark at expiry is less than $40. In this case, the call option is worthless when it expires, and the trader exercises the put option to realize the value.
In order to profit from the strategy, traders need high enough volatility to cover the cost of the strategy, that is, the sum of the premium paid for the call options and the put options. Traders need to have volatility to reach a price above US$43.18 or below US$36.82. Suppose the price rises to $45. In this case, the put option is worthless when it expires, and the call option is rewarded: 45-40=5. Subtracting the cost of holding positions, we get a net profit of 1.82.
Due to the use of two at-the-money options, long straddle positions are costly. The cost of the position can be reduced by constructing an option position similar to a straddle option, but this time using an out-of-the-money option. This type of position is called “strangulation” and includes an out-of-the-money call option and an out-of-the-money put option. Since options are not valuable, the cost of this strategy will be lower than the straddle strategy described earlier.
Continuing the previous example, suppose the second trader purchases a call option with a strike price of $42 and a put option with a strike price of $38. Everything else is the same, the price of the call option is $0.82, and the price of the put option is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of this position is only $1.57, which is about 49% lower than the cost of a straddle position.
Although compared with straddle strategies, this strategy does not require a lot of investment, but it does require higher volatility to make money. You can see this by the length of the black arrow in the image below. In order to profit from this strategy, the volatility needs to be high enough for the price to be above US$43.57 or below US$36.43.
Use Volatility Index (VIX) options and futures
Volatility index futures and options are direct tools for trading volatility. VIX is the implied volatility estimated based on the S&P500 option price. VIX options and futures allow traders to profit from changes in volatility regardless of the underlying price direction. These derivatives are traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe). If traders expect volatility to increase, they can buy VIX call options, and if they expect volatility to decrease, they may choose to buy VIX put options.
VIX’s futures strategy will be similar to that of any other underlying securities. If the expected volatility increases, the trader will enter a long futures position, and in the case of a decline in volatility expectations, the trader will enter a short futures position.
Straddle positions involve at-the-money call options and put options, and strangling positions involve out-of-the-money call options and put options. These can be constructed to benefit from increased volatility. Volatility index options and futures traded on Cboe allow traders to directly bet on implied volatility, so that traders can benefit from changes in volatility regardless of direction.

LAHORE, Pakistan, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Pakistan's Supreme Court was asked Monday to declare the death penalty unconstitutional, a ruling that would free 8,000 people awaiting execution.
A petition requesting the abolition of the death penalty was filed by an attorney identified only as Zafarullah, Dawn News reported.
The lawyer asked the court to act on a petition he filed in July 2011 in which he argued that because of the high levels of corruption in Pakistan society, the chances were high that many innocent people had been declared guilty.
He said all depth sentences should be commuted to life in prison.
Under the constitution, Zafarullah contended, the right to life was a natural right guaranteed by the constitution and that the unnatural ending of life was inconsistent with that right.

A revolt is brewing within the Biden administration over how the White House is handling the Israel-Gaza war, as the civilian death toll and mass Palestinian displacement soars, and as Biden’s top officials continue to say "no conditions" have been placed on how Israel uses US-supplied weapons. Pressure from the press pool is also piling on, with near daily spats and antagonistic back-and-forth exchanges on display in the State Department and White House briefing rooms.
This week there have emerged reports of scathing ‘dissent memos’ criticizing White House Israel policybeing circulated, collecting many hundreds of signatures chiefly from among State Department and USAID staff. A primary theme of the pushback and pressure is that President Biden must change course on the Gaza crisis.
First, on Monday Politico obtained and published portions of a memo issued by State Department personnel giving a blistering critique which according to the publication argued that "among other things, the U.S. should be willing to publicly criticize the Israelis."

A tasty and easy breakfast with tropical coconut and sweet almonds. Delicious with natural yogurt and honey.
I got my camera back! I am so happy about that, I am definitely going to make my buckwheat pancakes again for another little photo shoot.
Today is a special day. I have been outside wearing a t-shirt; no jacket, no hoodie, just a t-shirt and I still felt warm. This is such a rare event in Scotland, yesterday, we had torrential rain for the whole day.
The WHOLE day.
I am surprised I have not developed webbed feet and a dorsal fin yet, I won't be surprised if in 100 years time, people who live here have become half human and half fish!
Continuing on our no refined carbs *challenge*, I am sorry but a little slip has occurred....
My family and I were having dinner and I made a quiche, however, they were insisting that the pastry had to be white, not wholewheat.
I made the pastry but I sneaked in some buckwheat flour to cut back on the white flour, they didn't even notice!
I have to admit, it was a very tasty quiche; asparagus, pea and courgette in a creamy set egg filling, delicious!
It may even appear on the blog one day...
Anyway, the second recipe of my no refined carbs baking is this gorgeous granola, flavoured with desiccated coconut, almonds and cashew butter. It is crunchy, sweet and a taste of the tropics. The coconut in this granola really takes it to another level; it's sweet and floral flavours makes this so addictive!
This granola is so easy to make and only takes 20 minutes in the oven. As well as being healthy, this recipe is also an accidental vegan recipe; one of those recipes that you make and forget that there are no animal products used. Well, honey is used in this recipe but if you are a strict vegan, you can always use maple syrup instead.
The honey is the sweetener and the binder of the recipe, along with the small amount of cashew butter. This granola does have some clusters but if you like a more "clustery" granola, feel free to add extra honey and nut butter.
This granola is a great way to start your day. The oats and nuts have a low GI, making you feel fuller for longer. I love having this granola with blueberry yogurt but since my "nrc" spiel, I have been enjoying my granola with some natural yogurt with some mashed strawberries for flavour and sweetness.
I am absolutely LOVING fresh berries at the moment. Give me a choice between fresh Scottish strawberries, raspberries and blueberries or a slice of cake, I would easily chose the fruit over the cake. I literally crave fruit 24/7, more so than unhealthy foods! I ate a kilo of local strawberries in one day...
You should of seen our shopping trolley today; all fruit and vegetables with some beans, nuts and seeds, people were even giving us strange looks with the amount of sweet potato and pears that we had!
I love this granola; the tropical taste of the coconut with the slightly vanilla-flavoured almonds is so moreish with the crunchy sweet oats, I could live off it... With all of the fruit....
qotd - what is your favourite breakfast food?
Almond Coconut Granola
Posted by Eve
Makes 3 cups
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup whole almonds
- 1/4 cup. desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup flaxseed
- 1 heaped tbsp. cashew butter - try to get 100% cashew
- 1/2 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- Preheat the oven to 170ºc/ 160ºc/ gas mark 3 and line a baking tray with non-stick paper.
- Put the oats, nuts, coconut and seeds into a large bowl and mix well.
- In a small saucepan, melt together the nut butter, coconut oil and honey until smooth. Pour this over the oats and nuts and mix well, for about 2 minutes until everything it combined in the honey mixture.
- Spread the granola onto the prepared baking tray and baking for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir it well and and bake another 5 minutes.
- Once the 5 minutes is up, turn off the oven and leave the granola in there to cool completely. Once cool, put into an air-tight container.
The granola, in the air-tight container, can be kept up to 2 weeks.
~ I prefer making my granola in cup measurments as I find it more fun and with granola, your do not need to be as accurate as baking a cake etc. If you do not have cup measurements, just use a small teacup - one teacup being 1 cup.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A contentious proposal that would authorize the governor and attorney general to decide whether an entity is a terrorist organization is advancing in the House.
The measure passed the House Judiciary Committee 12-4 on Tuesday and now goes to the House Finance Committee.
The companion bill was to be heard later in the day by the same committee in the Senate.
The original proposal sought to make it a felony to follow some versions of the Islamic code known as Shariah, but the measure was later amended to strip out any reference to a specific religion.
Opponents are concerned some organizations may be unfairly targeted, particularly Muslims. Hundreds of them were at the legislative office complex at the Tennessee Capitol on Tuesday to show their displeasure for the proposal

Hand Weapon and Shield
Halberd and Shield
Halberd with no shield
Two Hand Weapons
How do you equip your warriors?
This is all about the weapons choices, but please also write if they're marked and/or Chosen.
I got to thinking how to maximize the damage output of a unit of warriors and in the same time maximize their armour AND minimize losses to missile fire.
The best defensive mark is the mark of Tzeentch when combined with the Blasted Standard, giving the unit a Ward Save of 4+. But this only works on one unit, so would I use this specific combo then it would be on something that I couldnt afford losing, like a giant unit of Chosen or a big unit of Knights. Also, I like uniformity n my armies.
So I figured that the Mark of Nurgle disrupts missile fire quite a bit, add to that their Chaos Armour and Shield and you got yourself a good staying power.
But how do you maximize their damage output? I just love Great Weapons and the whole idea of huge iron clad northmen swinging about with their two-handed axes just makes me smile. But is the Great Weapon that good when they always stikes last? Chaos Warriors have got an Initiative of 5. Isnt that something to take care of? So why not take Halberds? A Shield and an Halberd would really maximize damage output AND minimizing damage input, wouldn't it? I know the Shield is best IN combat and the halberd is a two handed weapon, but isn't the +1 to the armour save on the way in worth it?
Please give me your ideas how you use your warriors and WHY!

"The more choices you force the opponent to make, the better the chance for you to capitalize on his mistakes"
15 basic none chosen men with Halberd and shield for me, most likely not marked, slaanesh at most, at least as many units as you need minimum for core choices.
that high WS and initiative, couple with boosted strength and still decent save 3+ via shooting 4+ in close is kinda awesome I think.
if ONLY we could take spears, that would be awesome
How about great weapons / shields option?
 Orks  Tau,
SM  WHFB Chaos
If armed with shields and halberds, or great weapons, you do have the choice of which to use. So, what you do changes depending on whether you've charged or have been charged.
Armed with halberd and shield, say, if you receive a charge, you use your shields. Armour save pops to 2+ in combat, ensuring you have plenty of Warriors left to strike back, which helps you win combat, which means you strike first in the following round. If, however, you are charging, you have the halberd to try smashing through the unit in front of you.
The great weapon/halberd question seems to me to be kind of similar to the lances/ensorcelled weapons question for the Knights. Most people feel it's worth taking the ensorcelled weapons at the cost of 1S in order to protect the Knights in future rounds of combat, should it happen that they don't just smash through an enemy unit. For me, the same goes for halberds - I think great weapons are great if you do manage to break an ememy unit in the first round of combat, but I don't like losing out on the high Initiative and suffering from my lowered armour save in subsequent rounds. It seems to me that striking with halberds on the charge is still hard enough to destroy most things, but on the off-chance that the unit you've just smacked stands where it is - unbreakable units, anyone? - you're likely to still have first strike in the subsequent rounds of combat.

I like greatweapons and shields. The shields allow me to go defensive if I'm hit by a bad charge and the great weapons allow me to slaughter with imputy when I get the charge. Plus a 3+ save to shooting is nice.
40K armies: Tyranids (2001), Space Wolves (2008), Sisters of Battle (2011)
Current Rep: 1337
I'd say Halberds and shields in all but one instance, and that is against High Elves. When their whole army has ASF, you may as well give all your warriors (and marauders) great weapons. That way you're pretty much guaranteed to make mincemeat of them with their low toughness.
So Sayeth Jimmy boy
I agree with Jimmy_boy on halberds and shields. I think warriors should always have shields for the +1 to save against shooting alone and then there's the option to go defensive in combat. With the other option I think halberds are best since S5 is normally enough to deal with most things especially if you have 2 attacks, I don't really like great weapons since Warriors have a good initiative so it would be a shame to waste it though great weapons would work against dwarfs. With additional hand weapons they are best used against armies with T3 and low armour saves which is quite a lot though for an all-comers list halberds are better since they can deal with a variety of troops better than additional hand weapons.
BEN DIESEL FTW!!!
In a tournament scenario most people will need a good balance of offence and defence. This means that Halberds and Shields is probably the best as this mean that you have a good 3+ save against shooting, a 4+ save in combat and S5 when you reach the enemy.
In addition a lot of people forget that they can still choose to declare that their warriors are using handweapons and shields instead of their halberds for the duration of any particular combat giving you more flexibility. This is especially usefull if you are about to get charged by knights or a monster.
With regards to marks there really are two in mind, the Mark of Slaanesh and the Mark of Nurgle.
Of the two I personally feel the Mark of Nurgle is the better option as it provides protection in both the shooting and combat phases so I feel that is the better choice. However if you find yourself going up against terror and fear causing enemies or are just straped for points then the Mark of Slaanesh gives you a little bit more protection against that failed fear/terror test.

Basically life sucks, there is only war and you're probably gonna get eaten by Tyranids, have fun.
How do you guys model your Halberds?
How are people modelling Great weapons also? While we are at it. Haha
