You need a push to go from dreaming about it to actually doing it: Here it is!

The well-known YouTube channel Technical Guruji has posted a quick hands-on video of the alleged Redmi Note 6 Pro. The video shows the complete retail package and a fully functional unit of the smartphone.
Unboxing of Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro
Going by the video that has been uploaded on YouTube, the upcoming Xiaomi smartphone bestows a 6.26-inch display with a FHD+ resolution and an aspect ratio of 19:9. It is believed to make use of an octa-core Snapdragon 636 SoC as predicted by the previous reports. Even a leaked Geekbench listing of the smartphone revealed the presence of the Snapdragon 636 chipset. This model in the video appears to have 3GB RAM and 32GB storage while the benchmark hinted at a 4GB RAM variant. And, it runs Android 8.1 Oreo topped with MIUI 9.6.
The smartphone comes with a quad-camera setup as seen on a leaked live image. Eventually, it appears to have two dual-camera modules - one at the front and one at the rear.

Royals C Salvador Perez models the new uniform, which contains throwback design elementsRoyals
The Royals today became the third MLB club this season and 10th overall to unveil their Nike City Connect uniforms. The design features a navy and powder blue color scheme, plus a newly created K.C. fountain logo, which Royals Senior VP/Chief Revenue & Innovation Officer Sarah Tourville said honors the Art Deco-style architecture throughout the city. Stripes on the ends of the sleeves are triple, thick braiding, a throwback to a feature made popular by the club’s ‘80s-style uniforms. Also on the sleeve, a scripted “R” with a crown above it is an homage to original branding for the Royals.
Tourville, who played an integral role in the design’s creation from the Royals side, said it was fortuitous to collaborate on the project with Nike Senior Product Graphic Designer Jason Wright, a K.C. native who spearheaded the design effort.
Doors at the Royals Team Store outside Kauffman Stadium will open at 9:00am CT today, with the new line of merchandise also becoming available online then. The Royals’ City Connect launch, which comes ahead of the team’s on-field debut of the new uniforms Saturday against the Yankees, will also include a creative campaign featuring multiple ad spots that will appear during Royals telecasts and on the club’s digital and social platforms in the lead-up to Saturday’s game.
The Royals also will be activating in and around Kauffman Stadium during Saturday’s game. The club’s first-ever drone show will take place after the game and will “tell the narrative that the jersey tells,” Tourville explained, with the fountains and iconic elements of K.C. featured. It will last fewer than 10 minutes. At the nearby Power and Light District in downtown K.C., the Royals are hosting an event Saturday which will feature a DJ, the new merchandise and a VIP tent with Royals alumni.
The Nationals and Astros unveiled their City Connect uniforms earlier in April, each breaking several team sales records in the process. Four more clubs are joining the uniform program this year, the next being the Rockies in June.

I was planning to go to Zumba tonight. But this sudden summer thunderstorm in the middle of the winter kinda destroyed my plans. So I stayed home, put a cozy pajama and prepared delicious tea, so that I can sit and write about what to do when the Zumba plan doesn’t go well… (Belgian weather, tell me about it…)
This is the time of a year when lots of people are losing their evenings watching tv series. I’m no different of course. Netflix must be having troubles with streaming. But during winter it’s allowed and also forgiven to just sit on the sofa with a cup of tea, covered in blanket and just enjoy the bliss of doing nothing but watching tv.
I watched a lot of different series, I am still in progress of watching some or even re-watching. Maybe you also like some of them?
1. FRIENDS – obviously and number one. I’m sure everyone knows this. I used to watch it during my studying time, mostly during exams to procrastinate actual learning 🙂 It’s just funny, but also heartwarming and shows beautiful friendship! It’s like us, everyday’s life of young people, trying to find a way in life. Just they have kinda nicer apartments and ridiculous adventures. Absolutely love those six people. Plus the views over Manhattan.
2. HOUSE M.D. – this guy is just hilarious! All his pranks, all his comments and sarcasm. Plus he’s a medical genius. I used to watch ‘Grey’s anatomy’ when I was younger too, but this sort of won my heart. Greg is a sad person, I think he’s also unhappy, but he’s entertaining when he tries to live his life pretending like he’s not unhappy. I just hope that by the end of the series he’ll find at least a hint of happiness. Few more episodes to go!
3. WHITE COLLAR – it’s been some time since I watched this series. I think two times.. Great plot. A guy leaving the prison at one condition – he must help FBI to solve the crimes, that he used to commit. It goes pretty well, he becomes friends with the FBI agent and searches for his beloved girlfriend, but there are things that always have to go wrong. Plus his little funny friend is helping him even though he hates FBI and all the other ‘conspiracy theories’. Fun. Plus the main character is handsome 😉
4. THE MENTALIST – very interesting concept, of a guy who pretty much reads other people’s minds. He helps a group of detectives to solve crimes, when in real life he just ants revenge after a serial killer kills his family. Not gonna tell you if he ever even finds him.
5. PRETTY LITTLE LIARS – some teenage series I watched, but it really got me. How much high school girls can lie and complicate their life, it’s just unbelievable. Twisted story, interesting characters and really good outfits. Really good outfits 🙂
6. Was supposed to be TOP 5, but I also liked a lot the Suits (handsome guys… in suits), Gossip Girl (good outfits and hairstyles), Californication (ridiculously funny), Lie to me (the theory of lying was really interesting, I even wrote about it one of my Dutch papers), My so-called life (no comment on that ❤ ), Grimm (fantasy stuff, but entertaining), Gilmore girls (mother-daughter lovely young adult problems), etc.
So, the evening is gone, I’m almost done with first season of ‘Friends’ and time always flies when I enjoy something. I’m hoping for no thunderstorm next time I wanna go somewhere with my bike. But Belgian weather… you know. 😉

We are living in a fast paced world, a consumer society which runs 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. How often do you get the time to appreciate the love you hold for your friends and family? Are You a happy person ? If you were asked to give yourself a score of between 0 and 100 as to how happy you are (0 being very unhappy, and 100 being top of the pops) what score would you give yourself right now?
Jamstone stories will help you to learn new ways of feeling better about yourself. In this current age, families are divided. School is adding more and more academic pressure onto children, while adults and carers are working longer hours just to try and make ends meet! Exhausting isn’t it?
Jamstone stories are based on a wealth of holistic psychological experience. We will show you how to love your life, so much so, that you will then be able to teach other people to love their lives too! By simply reading a Jamstone story to another person will help you to learn at a deeper level how to be at peace with yourself with the strength to overcome problems. ‘Problems’ – now that’s not a nice thought I guess. Well the truth is, we all have problems of some kind, and it is in the solving of the problems that we learn to become stronger people.
James Vanstone took an interest in the mental wellbeing of other people from an early age. At 21 he was working for a British charity known as Samaritans helping people to make sense of hardships and psychological pain.
Later in his twenties, he graduated in counselling and psychotherapy and helped many people younger and older suffering with negative thinking, emotional trauma, and behavioural difficulties.
With the trending success of cognitive behavioural therapy James became skilled in helping people make shifts in thinking, feeling, and behaviour over the short course of six sessions.
Later in his thirties, James studied philosophy. He also became a hypnotherapist and Neuro linguistic programming practitioner. He is also gifted with healing hands.
James’s passion to help others has always been guided by firstly encouraging people to find inner peace. In the stories you read you will automatically learn how to teach others to deeply relax.
Additionally, you will become the encouraging positive voice in another’s life. During James’s journey of a psychology degree, he learnedhow children who thrive need to be nurtured by someone else. He learned that adults who did not feel secure as children often carry a great number of insecurities into adulthood.
James’s stories hold reciprocal benefits to both reader and listener. Even though the stories appear on the surface only to be aimed at young children, they are also suitable to teenagers and adults of any age. Counselling psychologists and hypnotherapists have long been aware that adults with negative thinking patterns need to return to a childlike state of mind. Listening to a children’s story filled with positive messages will allow the adult mind to allow new positive ways of thinking too!

A TRANSFORMATION is under way at Citroen as the all-new C3 supermini arrives with a bump.
Like the C4 Cactus before it the new C3 is getting some added body armour.
Citroen calls it the Airbump - a pair of air-filled panels fixed to the side of the car.
Think of it as heavy duty designer bubble wrap to protect from minor bumps and grazes.
Like ‘em or loathe them, they work and are standard kit on the top range versions of the new C3 which will be arriving in the UK in the first week of the New Year.
The new model is the third generation of the French car maker's current top seller and with prices ranging from Â£10,995 to Â£17,095 the latest C3 is competitively pitched against the likes of the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo.
The C3 for 2017 also has another innovation up its sleeve by becoming the first car in the world to come with its own dash cam, sited behind the rear view mirror.
As with the Airbump the so-called ConnectCAM is standard on the top grade Flair trim and a £380 option on mid-range Feel models where the Airbump can also be had as an extra as part of a £290 style pack that also includes front fog lamps.
Don't want the Airbump and Citroen will delete it for free.
With or without it the new C3 has chunkier looks than its predecessor and the cabin is thoroughly modern, centred on a seven-inch full colour touch screen.
On the engine front Citroen is making full use of its 1.2-litre, three cylinder PureTech petrol engines in the C3 line up as well as its 1,6-litre BlueHDi diesels rated at either 75 or 100bhp,
On paper the diesels stack up as the most economical with emissions as low as 92g/km and an official fuel return of 80mpg - but they carry a premium of up to Â£2,300 over the petrol alternatives so only high mileage drivers will feel the benefit.
The PureTech cars are more than up to the job and will be available in three power outputs of 68, 82 and 110bhp, the more powerful version turbocharged and available either as a five speed manual or - come February - a six speed auto priced from Â£17,195.
Significantly it was the two higher powered petrol variants Citroen featured for the new C3's evaluation drives and both performed satisfactorily showing real world fuel returns of 40mpg for the 82bhp manual and 39 to the gallon for the automatic.
Citroen claims official figures in the low 60s with a CO2 rating of 108g/km for the manual and an impressive 110g/km for the auto which delivers a nicely composed drive.
Boot space ranges from 300 to 922 litres which is good enough for three cases and a bit more with all seats occupied and as a five door model the interior is of family proportions and the seats very supportive and comfortable.
Technology includes Bluetooth, lane departure warning systems and speed sign recognition across the range with full smartphone integration on all but the basic model.
Download an App for the dash cam system and it can be used to take snapshots or short videos of your journey as well as operating automatically in an emergency, capturing events 30 seconds before and 60 seconds after an incident.
The interior is smart and fashionable and high on personalisation options which include two-tone finishes inside and out. The dash, with contrasting leather inserts, is particularly on trend and upmarket.
In this day and age where cars have to be as much a lifestyle accessory as a posh pair of sneakers, the C3 is well dressed.
Citroen is renowned for taking an avant garde approach to its models and the new C3 is certainly in that groove - just very subtle in the way it goes about it.
It's got style, panache and a dare to be different all rolled up in one - features which along with those side panels are guaranteed to bump up its appeal.

Chicken Hutch / June 5, 2018 / Maryellen
Building a chicken coop is a rather systematic process which you can only slightly deviate from. Regardless of whether you are planning to build a conventional coop a free range chicken ranch or even an A frame chicken enclosure the fundamentals will always lie at the core which come from the chicken coop plans. Chicken coop plans cover the entire spectrum of chicken houses whether they are small mobile coops or enormous chicken warehouses. However every design comes with its own set of qualities and features that should be built to ensure the coop functions as desired. Nevertheless these features are limited to six central elements that any coop should have regardless of their size location or purpose.
By knowing someone with experience who can include the elementary requirements into hand drawn plans you may as well go ahead with constructing the coop by just following those. If it is just you building the coop for the first time there is thousand and one valid reason to choose good set of professionally designed chicken coop plans. And let me provide some additional proof to demonstrate why I so passionately believe in their value. The coop and the run are your chickens sanctuary they are your chickens home. Chickens are homely creatures and at the end of the day they will look for a place where it feels safe to rest for the night. Experts believe that the chicken coop alone accounts for as much as 3/4 of your chickens health and well-being. If designed as highly functiona the coop will contribute in minimizing the risk of disease or similar problems on an ongoing basis helping you in raising healthy flock of birds right from the start.
If youre interested in rearing chicken to meet the white meat and egg demand of your home you only need to raise a relative small number of hens and you can choose from a few easy types of chicken coops to build to get the job done. If you are going to do a small business and want to rear chickens for commercial purpose you will definitely need a large chicken coop and a different set of chicken hutch plans. Always build chicken coops by following chicken hutch plans that are available in the marketplace or one thats designed by you according to your own requirements. If you have large chicken coops to build you should make long-term planning decisions and be ready to allocate a somewhat larger budget for this purpose. It is important to follow the building plans exactly or you will find that you have gone way over budget and have a chicken hutch that isnt suitable for raising chickens.

The Pittsburgh Steelers dominated the Baltimore Ravens pretty much from start to finish in their 23-16 win. The Steelers points came on touchdown receptions by James Conner and Antonio Brown, followed by a Ben Roethlisberger quarterback sneak from the one. Chris Boswell wrapped up the Steelers scoring with a 29-yard field goal.
Throughout the game, several players on both sides of the ball made crucial plays in key situations. These plays may go unnoticed but they helped the Steelers keep or swing momentum to their side. Here are the Steelers top non-scoring plays that helped ensure their victory over the Ravens, and the players who made them.
Mike Hilton has been a real revelation for the Steelers defense. It’s as if the football God’s decided that they owed the defense some compensation for the bad luck they had with his college teammate Senquez Golson. In Baltimore, Hilton made two plays that twice helped keep The Ravens out of the endzone.
The first great play that Hilton made was on a first and 10 play from the Steelers 10 yard line in the first quarter. Hilton went up high to break up a Joe Flacco pass in the endzone to tight end Mark Andrews. Ultimately the Steelers held the Ravens to a 23 yard Justin Tucker field goal on the drive.
Hilton’s second big defensive play came on third and goal with 5:16 left in the second quarter. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took the snap and was looking for paydirt on the right side. All he found was Hilton who flew up and dropped him for a two-yard loss. That play as well limited the Ravens to a just field goal. The eight points Hilton saved were the difference in the game.

Woman of Honor by Nicole Zoltack
Woman of Honor by Nicole Zoltack
Publisher: Desert Breeze
Summary: Aislinn of Bairbhe dreams of becoming a lady knight to honor the death of her fallen brother. To her mother's horror, King Patrick grants Aislinn's wish and she begins her long years of training.
Despite the mockery of the other pages, and the disdain of Prince Caelan who also trains to be a knight, Aislinn commits herself to her dreams and embarks on a journey of self-discovery and bravery. Through the years, Aislinn and Caelan grow from sparing classmates to good friends. They both know that someday Caelan will marry for the sake of the kingdom, but even that cannot keep them from falling in love.
The threat of war with the Speicans is a constant threat, and one that grows more frightening as she and Caelan train toward their eventual knighthood. Aislinn has committed herself to serving Arnhem, and has promised herself as King's Champion when Caelan claims the throne. She is willing to give up everything... her childhood, her life, even her heart for Arnhem. No matter the pain, it brings.
My Review: Woman of Honor by Nicole Zoltack is a beautiful sweet romance with a touch of fantasy. The author uses a lyrical cadence in her descriptions. At first, I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy reading about a young girl, but to my delight, I did! Ms. Zoltack created a story that allowed me, the reader, to experience a different world through a seven year olds eye all the way through womanhood. The depiction of the surroundings, as well as the struggles Aislinn has in her travel to knighthood is well done. Tender moments sprinkled throughout kept the story warm and inviting. Aislinn is a heroine worthy of her ambitions. I was reluctant to stop reading for sleep because I wanted to know how the story progressed and if Aislinn succeeded. The supporting characters and accurate details gave a lovely view of life in medieval times. Ms. Zoltack took the time to build, layer by layer, a magnetic plot. Woman of Honor concludes nicely with the commitment of Aislinn and Caelan. The behind closed door intimacies seem very appropriate for this coming of age love story.
Ms. Zoltack did an excellent job giving a personality to Caelan through Aislinn’s eyes but as a reader, I want and expect a little of the hero’s point of view. What I missed was the thoughts and narrative of the hero, Caelan. Even with that said, I still found their journey to be wonderfully romantic.
With the exception of wanting a little more insight to the hero’s thoughts, I would recommend this book. Nicole Zoltack provides a well crafted story that focuses on emotion and anticipation. Not only a book that a young adult would enjoy, but a woman of any age who wants to enjoy romance and a strong heroine and how she gained her strength. In the future, we will see Nicole Zoltack ranking with many of the top authors we have come to love over the years. We will have a section of our bookcases or hard drives waiting for her newest release. I will certainly read the second installment in this series, Knight of Glory, due out in April 2010 because I enjoyed Ms. Zoltack’s writing and Woman of Honor that much.

Knowshon Moreno says he's four weeks away
Dolphins running back Knowshon Moreno still has quite some time before he'll be able to get back on the playing field.
Via The Palm Beach Post, Moreno told reporters that it's likely for him to return the lineup in four weeks. Moreno dislocated his elbow in the second week of the season.
After returning from their London game against the Raiders, a 38-14 win, the Dolphins will be off this Sunday. The next three games after that are against the Packers, Bears and Jaguars. With the four-week timeframe, it's possible Moreno is ready to go against the Jaguars or the week after against the Chargers.
For now, backup running back Lamar Miller has done a good job filling in for Moreno, who has 277 yards for the season and is averaging 5.7 yards per carry.

The Denver Post printed my letter to the editor on Colorado’s proposed “personhood amendment” today.
As printed, it reads:
I’m disheartened that the “personhood” amendment has gathered the signatures required to appear on the ballot. A woman’s fundamental right to control her own body, including her right to terminate or sustain a pregnancy, should not depend on majority vote. This would violate that right in spades, based on the fantasy that an embryo is equal to an infant. It would force a woman to provide life support to any fertilized egg — even at the risk of her life and health and even if ruinous to her goals and dreams. It would make actual persons — any woman capable of bearing children, plus her husband or boyfriend — slaves to merely potential persons. That kind of moral evil has no place in a modern society; it deserves to be soundly defeated at the polls in November.
Diana Hsieh, Sedalia
I’m determined to work to defeat this insane amendment. Despite many more signatures than required to place it on the ballot, it seems unlikely to pass. Many religious leaders oppose it, and even even the three Catholic bishops in Colorado don’t support it. Nonetheless, the risk is real, particularly given the religious fervor of the anti-abortionists. Moreover, it’s an excellent opportunity to defend individual rights, particularly abortion rights, against demands for the imposition of Biblical law.


DUNMORE – Abington Heights is opening its boys and girls cross country seasons this afternoon in Bethlehem with Ed Bath serving as interim coach, in place of Mike Ludka.
Bath, an English teacher in the Abington Heights School District, took over the team during the preseason, pending his potential appointment to the position at the next school board meeting.
Abington Heights is the defending District 2 Class 3A champion in both boys and girls. It did not compete in the league last season because it was operating under a modified start format as a COVID-19 adjustment that was different from other league members.
Bath represented the program at Thursday night’s preseason meeting of Lackawanna League cross country coaches at Dunmore High School.
The Comets are beginning their season at the Lions Invitational at Moravian Academy.

As I progress on my emotional healing and spiritual journey, I am able to see the world through different lenses now. I see my former enemies not as evil, but as sad characters in a play or movie. In the past, I felt injured and hurt by these people, but now I see them as injured and wounded characters. It is difficult to describe how people who hurt me earlier no longer are able to hurt me now.
I see their broken families and the aftermath of the destruction they caused themselves. Their spouses have moved onto other partners, their children have disassociated from them, and they are left to pick up the pieces of the destruction of their own creation. Their former families move onto separate and happy lives without them. I feel nothing but sympathy for the outcome of their lives.
This is karma at work. Good karma is rewarded, and bad karma results in destruction. In the past, I took pleasure in their failures and destructions. Now, I only wish that they have learned their life lessons, and hope they turn their lives around. When will we learn? When we hit bottom? When we lose everyone we love? When we lose everything? These life lessons are hard, and karma can be harder. Only we can change our karma, for no one else can do this for us. (Copyright 2016 Awakening Journey with All Rights)

It is called empathy…it is the beginning of unconditional love 🙂
The wisdom you have gained in going through and understanding your own journey, allows you to ‘see’ within another. And understand that those really hard encounters are all done with great love…for you.
And yes, it is a long hard road, but how else would we appreciate and love ourselves.
If it was just given to us, we would take it with a grain of salt, and not understood what it meant because we had not experienced it. It is like you explaining what it is like to walk on the moon. You would have an idea, but until you actually do, only then can you truly speak its truth.
Experience teaches much.
Great post, thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks, Mark for sharing your insights with me. It has been a long road but one that I do not regret. I have become and transformed to the person I am today. It is with deep gratitude I have for all my teachers along the way. Peace and love to you!

Right now, the Vermont government is running — in small part — on medical marijuana patients’ registration fees. This fact has some medical marijuana patients up in arms.
When state lawmakers first created the medical marijuana program in 2003, supporters promised lawmakers that no taxpayer dollars would be spent on the program.
“The patients would be paying for their services and the products,” recalls Fran Janik, a patient and activist.
Janik and all 5,300 of the state’s registered medical marijuana patients pay a $50 registration fee every year to legally obtain and use medical marijuana. That money goes straight into a medical marijuana registry special fund overseen by the Department of Public Safety. In addition, each of five dispensaries contribute $25,000 in annual licensing fees to the fund.
By July 2017, the fund had accrued nearly $500,000 — more than it costs to run the program. Then, lawmakers moved $300,000 from the medical marijuana registry fund to the state’s general fund.
That month a revenue forecast predicted tax revenues would come in short by about $30 million.
“We needed to raise almost $30 million; that is not a small chunk of change,” says Adam Greshin, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Finance and Management.
Greshin’s goal was to make up the shortfall without affecting services Vermonters rely on. The Department of Public Safety proposed a one-time sweep of the medical marijuana registry fund, in addition to other available funding sources.
“They’ve been carrying a balance for a number of years, which we had noticed,” Greshin says of the medical marijuana registry fund, “so that’s why we thought it was a good idea to revert that money back to the general fund.”
But Janik, the activist, says this isn’t fair.
“To have that much funding disappear, be taken almost as if it

After many years of persistent speculation, the long-awaited release of Armored Core 6 has finally been confirmed. Fans of the hard-as-nails mech series will be thrilled to hear this, particularly in light of the fact that there hasn’t been a new Armored Core game released since 2013. Since then, FromSoftware has developed into an industry-leading studio that specializes in action-oriented role-playing video games (RPGs).
It is very evident that Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon will provide players with an experience that is distinct from that of its predecessors. This new adventure will, hopefully, include everything the developer has learned about game design over the course of the past ten years. According to what we’ve been told, the game is still very much in the Armored Core vein, so players who were expecting some Souls-inspired twists at launch may be disappointed.
We don’t have a whole lot of information on Armored Core 6 at this point. It has already been announced that it will be released this year, and a trailer for the film has been made public. There is a good chance that we will learn more and more about the game as we get further into the year 2023. You will be able to access any newly disclosed material here as soon as it becomes available. Here is what we know about Armored Core 6 so far while we wait for more information about the game.
When will Armored Core 6 be released?
The release of Armored Core 6 is presently anticipated to take place in 2023. After this, we do not have any further information regarding the release date. The fact that it was first disclosed at The Game Awards 2022 (which was shown in December) suggests that we have at least six months to go before the game is made available to the public. When we have further information, we will be sure to update this page.
There is currently only one trailer available for Armored Core 6, which was released earlier. It provides us our first glimpse at the new graphical style as well as introduces some of the themes that will be featured in the game. It is very clear that the game will have a fantastic appearance. There has been no demonstration of the gameplay as of yet.
What to expect
Very few specifics regarding Armored Core 6 have been revealed to the public at this time. However, the game does already have an official website, and that website does provide some information about what players can anticipate there. To begin, here is a rundown of how the game is played:
“Players will assemble and pilot their very own mech with 3D maneuverability in ARMORED CORE VI: FIRES OF RUBICON. This will allow them to move freely through three-dimensional, action-packed missions.”
There isn’t a lot of information to go on there, but at least we know that the ability to customize mechs will be a primary focus once more. According to the plot, an unfamiliar chemical was unearthed on the planet known as RUBICON-3. The discovery of this material was supposed to progress human technology, but instead, it triggered a catastrophe that set fire to the entire solar system that was surrounding Earth.
After a half-century, factions continue to struggle for the material that was discovered on RUBICON-3. This is where Armored Core 6 continues from where it left off. The player will take on the role of an independent mercenary who has been dispatched to the planet to assist in maintaining order during the war that has broken out there.
In a recent interview with IGN, the game’s director, Masaru Yamamura, joined FromSoftware studio president Hidetaka Miyazaki to provide a sneak peek at some of the content that will be included in Armored Core 6.
According to Yamamura, “having that story develop and play out” is the primary goal of AC6, at least within the context of the story mode. For the story mode, our primary focus has been on a single-player experience.
They went on to clarify that while single-player is, in fact, the primary focus, there will be opportunities for player-versus-player action within the game types.
Recent reports and updates
You can find our coverage on Armored Core 6 below, updated whenever we receive fresh information about the game:
Regarding the game Armored Core 6, that is all the information you require. It is still very early in the marketing cycle, and as a result, it is highly likely that additional material will be given later on in the year. For the time being, you may check out our preview of 12 games that will be released in 2023.

The Jenin Freedom Threatre will be performing an adaptation of Athol Fugard’s “The Island” in the US this September, kicking off at Brown University on September 11:
According to The Freedom Theatre:
The Island is a revolutionary South African apartheid-era drama, inspired by a true story. The Island is set in a prison and revolves around two cellmates: one who is soon to be released while the other is serving a life sentence. They spend their days at mind-numbing physical labour and at night rehearse for a performance of Sophocles’Antigone. Antigone, who defies the laws of the state to follow her conscience, and her uncle who sentences her to die for her crime. Is Antigone guilty? Who decides?
The Freedom Theatre adapted the play to reflect experience of Palestinian political prisoners within Israeli prisons, and it was performed to sold-out houses in the Jenin refugee camp in Arabic. The ensemble then re-adapted the play into English to be performed in Jenin (March 2013), Sweden (April-May 2013), Brazil (August 2012), and the U.S.

A lot of the time, the cause of a dog’s stinky breath simply is poor dental hygiene or food stuck in between the teeth but sometimes, that funky, unusual, or downright nasty smell could be a sign of a bigger problem. So how can you tell?
Chronic Bad Breath in Dogs
The first sign of foul breath, or halitosis, being a symptom of a bigger problem in a dog is when it persists. Smelly breath caused by stuck food or objects, plaque build up, rotten teeth, or other gum issues can range from smelling mildly unpleasant to putrid. A quick inspection of the mouth can quickly reveal the problem: chicken meat or bones in between the teeth, a tooth cavity, yellowing teeth, inflamed gums, etc. Brushing the dog’s teeth or a quick trip to a veterinary dental specialist will usually solve the problem.
However, if the cause of bad breath is not immediately obvious or if the problem recurs after you’ve supposedly treated it (i.e. brushing/dental work), then a trip to the vet might be in order.
Diseases That Cause Bad Breath in Dogs
Halitosis in dogs is sometimes a symptom of a serious illness that causes sores in the gums, changes in the blood chemistry, or foul smelling gasses that escape through the mouth. Here are some diseases that can make a dog’s breath stink.
Oral tumors are not always accompanied by foul odor but it is one of the signs, along with drooling and difficulty eating. Tumors and oral cancers in dogs are typically discovered by owners or vets incidentally, like when the dog yawns or during a specific procedure like a dental cleaning.
If a dog has bad breath, inspect its mouth not only for problematic teeth but try to check the gums, tongue, and tonsils for any suspicious lumps or masses.
Dogs with diabetes don’t exactly have unpleasant breath. On the contrary, their breath will smell sweet like fruit or candy, which is also unnatural. This is caused by the high levels of glucose and ketones in the dog’s bloodstream. Be especially alert if the dog’s sickly-sweet breath comes with excessive urination and thirst. Together, these three are sure signs of canine diabetes.
Another serious illness that causes foul breath in dogs is kidney disease. There are two kinds of kidney diseases in dogs: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). CKD can be congenital, meaning the dog is born with the issue, or it could develop in old age. It usually takes months or years for symptoms to manifest in CKD patients.
On the other hand, AKI is more sudden and gets worse quickly. It can be caused by infections, some medications, and the ingestion of harmful substances like aspirin, antifreeze, or even food like grapes or raisins.
In both cases, the kidneys fail to eliminate toxins from the body, the toxin build up produces an ammonia-like smell in the dog’s breath. Other signs to watch out for include lethargy, frequent urination, and excessive thirst. Some dogs with kidney disease may also have facial swelling or mouth ulcers.
Like the kidneys, the liver also functions as a waste eliminator in the body. When a dog’s liver begins to malfunction, sulfur compounds like thiols reek into the lungs and cause stinky breath in dogs. Dogs with liver issues can have breath that smells like mold or worse, like rotting carcass.
Liver disease often shares the same signs with kidney problems: decrease in appetite, frequent urination, excessive thirst, lethargy, etc. You can also look out for signs that are unique to liver issues like jaundice (or the yellowing of the eyes, tongue, or gums), fluid build up in the abdomen, and blood in the urine or feces.
Gastrointestinal issues in dogs can be anything from gut imbalance, parasitic infestation, bacterial infection, megaesophagus (enlargement of the esophagus), and intestinal blockage among other problems. Because the digestive tract is directly connected to the mouth, issues stemming from that area can cause bad odor in varying intensities.
If a dog’s smelly breath is accompanied by difficulty in defecating, changes in appetite, or vomiting, there could be a problem with its digestive system so see the vet right away.
Sinusitis or Rhinitis
When a dog’s sinuses or upper respiratory tract are inflamed, it would cause it to breathe through its mouth like we do when we have a bad cold. This causes the mouth to dry and results in foul breath.
Sinusitis and rhinitis in dogs are usually caused by viral infection like canine distemper or parvovirus but sometimes, they can also be caused by allergens or parasites. Canine bad breath that’s accompanied by nasal discharge, sneezing, and lethargy warrants a trip to the vet.
The dreaded C in dogs can arrive in different forms: lymphoma (blood cancer), mast cell tumor (skin cancer), osteosarcoma (bone cancer), hemangiosarcoma (a malignant cancer that causes tumors all over the body). But the most common type of cancer in dogs is melanoma which is also malignant and often begins in the dog’s mouth. As cancer cells grow rapidly in the lining of the oral area, sores or tumors can form and cause unpleasant odors.
Remember to See the Vet When…
In all the conditions detailed above, bad breath can signal a bigger problem when it co-exists with other symptoms. Schedule a vet appointment immediately if a dog’s smelly breath is accompanied by:
- Excessive thirst
- Nasal discharge
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty swallowing
- Weight loss
- Blood in urine or feces
- Or if the breath smells particularly chemical

We left Ribeira da Barca on the island of Santiago, together with José for the second chapter of production: Mindelo, on the island of Sao Vicente. While traveling we made a stop in the capital Praia, where another part of production has been filmed. We met with the Cape Verdean Coast Guard, and had a very informative interview with the geologist Sonia Silva at the University, about the geological and environmental effects of sand gathering and the destruction of Cape Verde's beaches.

Amitabh Bachchan never really went away, but the time has already come to welcome him back. The 1 July release Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap seems to be a “best of Bachchan” from his 1970s and 1980s hits. Younger audiences who are more familiar with his son and daughter-in-law will get to hear the punch dialogues that made Bachchan famous. Older viewers are supposed to feel gratified that he has returned. Film-goers are never going to be allowed to forget that they are watching Bachchan the star, not Vijju the character.
The Amitabh Bachchan cult is based on a man named Vijay. He has played variations of the tormented yet romantic soul in 21 films, with varying degrees of success. The name changed over the years, but the conceit remained the same. Bachchan has played several other roles over the years—a lascivious old man in Kabhi Alvida na Kehna, a curmudgeonly chef in Cheeni Kum—but Bbuddah takes him right back to where it all started for him and for viewers.
The fate of Hindi movie stars as they grow older seems to be to play themselves or rehash their past roles. It can work like magic, as it has for Salman Khan. Ready is supposedly about an action hero named Prem, but it’s really only about Salman Khan the superstar. He is an unrepentant “bad boy” who is irresistible to anybody who crosses his path. Khan has arguably been playing himself all his life—an unapologetic romantic who wears his heart on his sleeve and gets hurt in the process. Dabangg and Ready reflect his new-found optimism and the fresh connections he has forged with audiences. Khan is a happy man these days, and his movies reflect that mood.
Rewind: Bachchan brings back the angry young man persona.
The danger with playing the memory game is that you are forced to confront the reality of the passage of time, Botox or no Botox. Some stars are best left untouched. I don’t think anybody mourns Rajesh Khanna, but do shed a few tears for the present-day sight of a portly and lush Vinod Khanna, especially if you remember his smouldering 1970s self. Dharmendra too dragged himself out of retirement recently to recycle himself in Yamla Pagla Deewana—if only he could have crawled right back. Rishi Kapoor still has what it takes, probably because he isn’t trying to be cute and dashing any more. Once a bon vivant, always a bon vivant, give or take a few kilos.
Bollywood’s leading lights are either pushing 40 or well past it. Many of them have signed up to play potentially interesting characters, but how long till the temptation to rest on their laurels strikes? Already, Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One has become less of a movie and more of an acid test for his superstar status. Meanwhile, in Hollywood, Sean Penn is playing Brad Pitt’s son in The Tree of Life, while Robert de Niro and Al Pacino are content to play second fiddle to young blood in various films. Sylvester Stallone, however, is still playing Rocky and/or Rambo—guess whose example some film-makers in Mumbai want to follow?
Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap released in theatres on Friday.

I went to El Morado Natural Monument with a small group of people from all over the world. Arrangements were made all through email; owner Pedro Gonazles was very responsive and offered information about schedule, payment, and necessary gear.
Pedro and his assistant Leo are most excellent guides: funny, helpful, informative, and all around just good guys to hang out with. They were punctual in picking me up at my hotel early in the morning. We made the rounds of picking other people up and headed out of Santiago towards the Maipo valley. Pedro can converse well in a number of languages, although he modestly denies how well he does. The trip includes meals, which were simple but nicely prepared and tasty. We made a stop for breakfast at the ghostown of El Volcan - Pedro stated that there are more stray dogs than people. There are no bathrooms in El Volcan. Here I enjoyed the best coffee I had in Chile, probably thanks to Pedro's Colombian wife. After that we went straight to El Morado (bathrooms are available at the ranger station). All along the hike Pedro explained the features of the terrain and snapped countless pictures that he later let us access via Dropbox. The hike was moderately difficult and enjoyable; there was quite a bit of snow still along the trail and we could not make it closer to the San Francisco glaciar. Nonetheless, the views were breathtaking; we even saw two condors fly by, one a mere 50 metres away. Condor sightings are a rare occurrence. After lunch, a few of us, more experienced hikers, decided to hike further closer to a frozen lake, which was the furthest we could safely go with the gear that we had. Pedro took the remainder of the group back to the trailhead and Leo came later to make sure our splinter group would have a safe return. As we got ready to drive back, we enjoyed splendid views of the San Jose volcano. At the end of the trip we stopped in one of the towns for empanadas and beers to end the day in good form.
This was one of the best day hikes I've ever had. This stunning place is being threatened by misguided plans to build reservoirs to dam the Maipo river, which is already affected by mining operations quite visible during the drive. There is opposition to these projects that will not benefit the locals but instead affect their livelihood. Please keep this information in mind and give back to this unique place and the gracious people that live in it by supporting their efforts to keep the Maipo wild.

Attention, DC residents in need of public housing: 2012 might be your last chance to get on the DC Housing Authority’s waiting list. By the end of this year, DCHA will indefinitely close its waiting list for public housing, Executive Director Adrianne Todman has told BFTC staff.
The list is a fact of life for many District residents. Thousands sign up every year, joining the 64,000 people already in a holding pattern, waiting for a chance at subsidized housing in their ever more expensive home city. Based on current trends, about 10,000 residents would likely sign up in 2013. The 64,000 folks already on the list (that’s one in ten Washingtonians) are vying for one of about 8,000 public housing units or 12,000 government-subsidized vouchers.
So, it’s a long wait. DCHA is currently pulling names that have been on the list since 2003, and those added to the list today can expect to wait a whopping 46 years for a studio or efficiency apartment.
Despite the bleak prospects for actually obtaining housing, we at BFTC have long pushed for the list to stay open. “Keeping the list open demonstrates the crushing need for low-income housing in this city,” said Vytas Vergeer, director of our legal clinic.

This was on a neighborhood listserv earlier today:
Several neighbors in my block encountered a scam situation yesterday. Two girls approach the house and ask to walk a dog for $10 to donate to an animal shelter. Or they try to sell a basil plant for $15 to benefit a homeless shelter.
This is obviously a scam… The true sad part? An adult woman that walks
with them points out the houses that they should go to.
This happened last night in the 1900 block of 1st St NE around 7pm.
They knocked on my door too but I didn’t see the adult woman. I simply said “no thank you” and didn’t think much of it. Should I call the police when i see this? Child protective services?
Thankfully, there was a thoughtful reply: “There are other ways to view this. It’s incorrect to assume that criminality is involved. Perhaps this is adaptive, industrious behavior meant to support children in the absence of jobs, [TANF] and other sources of income.”
Still, I’m amazed at how someone can move into a gentrifying neighborhood and misunderstand so badly what goes on there. Kids trying to make money? Call the police!
The thriving DC economy, in this Sunday’s New York Times:
For the city itself, the good times are a bit more complicated, given Washington’s place in the national psyche. But they’re no less striking. Washington may have the healthiest economy of any major metropolitan area in the country.
The unemployment rate was 5.7 percent in June, compared with 9.3 percent in Chicago, 9.6 percent in New York and 10.3 percent in Los Angeles. The average house price in the region is more than 10 percent above the 2009 nadir, while nationwide prices remain near a decade-long low.
And you can actually see the prosperity. Although much of the city itself remains poor, several neighborhoods are noticeably brighter, and the city’s population has been rising for more than a decade. Downtown Washington is full of cranes building City Center DC — a mix of apartments, stores, offices and a park scheduled to open next summer. In McLean, Va., and Potomac, Md., mansions continue to rise from the ground.
I wish the Times would make the distinction between “Washington” and “residents of Washington.” Even better would be the distinction between “residents of Washington” and “some residents of Washington.”
Yes, the city’s economy is doing well in aggregate; unemployment is low, and the median income is high. But aggregation can easily obscure what’s actually going on in different sectors of the economy. Construction is booming downtown, but unemployment in Ward 8 is still at 22 percent. The DC metro area is the nation’s richest, but east of the Anacostia River 30 percent of families live in poverty.
This is about more than just inequality. Much of the prosperity described in the Times isn’t trickling down to the city’s poorer neighborhoods—and when it does spill over, it creates as many problems as it does solutions. Neighborhoods see economic resurgence, but the people who live there frequently don’t. The result? The rising cost of living pushes them out, often over the Maryland border.
So: Washington as a geographic unit is doing well, but why is that relevant? A region’s prosperity should only matter to the extent that it translates into success for actual people.

Interview by Pete Tucker, written report by Chris Lewis (@Chris_Lewis_)
Hold on to your houses.
In northern Virginia, some residents are trying to do just that. On May 12th, Alexandria’s City Council will vote on a plan put forth by five area real estate companies to redevelop the city’s Beauregard area in the West End, a pocket of Alexandria with a reputation for diversity and affordability. Some residents fear losing their homes—the plan, led by Maryland-based developer JBG , calls for demolishing 2,475 units of housing and replacing them with denser and pricier apartments.
As the Council prepares to vote debate has flared over the merits of the proposal. In a Sunday feature, the Washington Post reported: “The stakes are high not only because the plan would make over the neighborhood but also, some argue, because it would more broadly influence who can afford to live in this increasingly affluent inside-the-Beltway city.”

A St. Petersburg-based equity firm is heading a joint venture to purchase its third high-rise tower in the Tampa Bay area.
Feldman Equities announced today it is teaming with the Orlando-based Tower Realty Partners and Second City Real Estate of Vancouver to purchase the 17-story, 250,000-square-foot First Central Tower at 360 Central Ave. in downtown St. Petersburg.
CEO Larry Feldman will lead the leasing and redevelopment efforts while Tower Realty Partners will handle management responsibilities.
The purchase price was not disclosed. But in a news release, CEO Larry Feldman said the group plans to invest nearly $10 million in renovations, including a major lobby improvement, facility upgrades and the addition of a luxury fitness center and conference center.
“As with our other downtown acquisitions, this is yet another opportunity for us to do what we do best — renovating and upgrading office buildings in order to maximize their value,” Feldman said in the release. “Downtown St. Pete has a higher quality of life than almost any other downtown in the state. It is a truly ‘walkable downtown’ with hundreds of acres of dedicated city parks that run along the waterfront.
“Downtown St. Pete is in the midst of an impressive revitalization with thousands of new residential units planned or under construction. We are thrilled to be a part of this re-urbanization trend.”
First Central Tower is anchored by BB&T Bank, whose name appears at the top of the tower.
The acquisition is the groups’ third in the Tampa Bay area. Previously, Feldman/Tower purchased the Morgan Stanley Tower, a 190,000 square foot office building and the 242,000 square foot City Center in downtown St. Petersburg, and the 390,000 square foot Wells Fargo Center in downtown Tampa.
The groups sold the Fountain Square II office building in Tampa earlier this year.
Over the last 20 years, Feldman Equities and Tower Realty Partners have together acquired millions of square feet of underperforming office buildings. The venture plans to aggressively expand its portfolio of Class A office properties.

An umbilical hernia occurs when intestine, fat, or fluid pushes through a weak spot in the belly. This causes a bulge near the belly button, or navel.
Umbilical hernias often occur in infants. Most of the time, they close on their own by the time a baby is 1 year old. But sometimes surgery is needed. To learn more about hernias in children, see the topic Umbilical Hernia in Children.
Umbilical hernias can also occur in adults. They can happen in people who have health problems that create pressure in the belly, such as being overweight, being pregnant, or having too much fluid in the belly (ascites). Other health problems can also lead to umbilical hernia. These include a chronic cough, chronic constipation, and problems urinating because of an oversized prostate gland. Most of the time, a doctor can diagnose an umbilical hernia during a physical exam.
An umbilical hernia tends to get bigger over time. You may need surgery to treat it, especially if it gets bigger or becomes painful.
Without treatment, there is a risk of a strangulated hernia, which means that part of the intestine or fat is trapped and blood supply to the tissue is cut off. This can be very painful. It requires emergency surgery. Call your doctor right away if the bulge becomes swollen, painful, tender, or discolored.

UPDATE: SUSPECT CAPTURED; IN CUSTODY! The result of this deadly crime has shaken up residents of the far outer NE Portland apartment complex where it happened – but the motive remains unclear. Here’s what we’ve learned …
In the parking lot of an apartment complex in the Wilkes Neighborhood, police find a man dying of stab wounds.
By David F. Ashton, photos by Desmond Moore
In the darkness of the early morning hours of July 12, one man is said to have stabbed and killed another man, following a disturbance in the parking lot of the Village Garden Apartments – at 15278 NE Sandy Boulevard.
Portland Police Bureau (PPB) North Precinct officers rolled to the scene at 12:21 a.m. and found an adult male victim, later identified as 40-year-old Dion Anthony Matthews, suffering from critical injuries, according to PPB Public Information Officer Sgt. Peter Simpson.
Behind police lines, officers talk with witnesses and gather information at the crime scene.
“Medical personnel responded to the scene but could not save the man’s life, and he died at the scene,” Simpson added about this mid-County crime.
Searching for the suspect – said to have left on foot heading east, and described as an African American male adult, wearing light colored clothing, and possibly plaid shorts – officers and a Police K-9 Unit tried to sniff out the perpetrator, but to no avail.
“A homicide concerns neighbors, and it can shake people’s feelings of security,” Simpson told reporters. “Right now we don’t feel there is an immediate danger to the neighborhood, but we are continuing our investigation.”
Investigators gather what scant forensic data they can at the crime scene.
On July 16, at 9:00 a.m., the U.S. Marshals Oregon Fugitive Task Force made an arrest in this case.
“Witnesses at the scene provided critical information to PPB North Precinct and Gang Enforcement Team officers and Homicide detectives,” Sgt Simpson said. “This cooperation from witnesses was critical to solving this case.”
Police accuse this man, 43-year-old Michael Dvon Leonard, of the murder.
43-year-old Michael Dvon Leonard of Northeast Portland was arrested in connection with the homicide of Dion Anthony Matthews.
“Leonard was arrested without incident at NE 159th Avenue and Sandy Boulevard,” Simpson stated.
Leonard was booked into the Multnomah County Jail at 4:14 p.m. and being held, without bail, on one count of Murder. He will be arraigned on Tuesday in Multnomah County Court.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) reported that its AI computing platform has outperformed its performance records in the latest round of MLPerf benchmark as it extends it lead on the industry’s benchmark measuring AI performance of hardware, software and services. NVIDIAA has improved on every test across all six application areas for data center and edge computing systems in the second version of MLPerf Inference. The tests cover growth areas in AI such as recommendation systems, natural language understand, speech recognition and medical imaging.
Many organizations are utilizing NVIDIA a100 Tensore Core GPU’s to take AI from research groups into daily operations. Financial Institutions are utilizing conversational AI to answer customer questions quickly as retailers are utilizing AI to keep shelves stocked while healthcare providers are using AI to analyze medical images more accurately to identify disease and save lives.
“We’re at a tipping point as every industry seeks better ways to apply AI to offer new services and grow their business,” said Ian Buck, general manager and vice president of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA. “The work we’ve done to achieve these results on MLPerf gives companies a new level of AI performance to improve our everyday lives.”
NVIDIA A100 was introduced earlier this year and can provide almost the same performance as a 1,000 dual-socket CPU server that offer customers extreme cost efficiency when taking their AI recommender models from research to production.


Vision sensors adapted for automatic seam tracking in fusion welding have an auxiliary light source and a preview distance, which is the distance between the welding and the sensing position. The preview distance can generate tracking errors in automatic seam tracking, especially in micro welding of small parts. On the other hand, vision systems used for the weld pool monitoring are generally equipped with a highspeed camera and intense illumination. In this study, a vision sensor was applied to find the weld seam by monitoring the weld pool in pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding. The vision sensor observed the weld pool, and the weld seam was extracted from the image of the monitored weld pool. No auxiliary illumination source was used for monitoring the weld pool. The shape and brightness of the weld pool change temporally even in one pulse duration. To get a relatively clear image, the shutter of the CCD camera was synchronized with the start of each pulse and opened at a specific time delay from the laser pulse start. Experiments were carried out to find the appropriate moment of shutter triggering for relatively clear images. Seam tracking was successfully performed by using the information of the pool centerline in the edge joint, while the shape and brightness of the weld pool gave the first step toward the information on the status of weld quality.


“The initial plan was to test the railgun on high-speed vessels in 2016, but according to rumors, the US Navy is already building a working copy that can be installed on the coast guard ship Lyndon. B. Johnson. This ship, the last of the three Zumwalt class destroyers, will be the perfect challenger because its Rolls Royce turbines produce 78 megawatts, which is more than enough for an electromagnetic weapon, ”the publication says.
“The destroyers Zumwalt are intended for strikes against targets on land, which is also excellent for the railgun,” the author believes.
“The shells have so much kinetic energy that they don’t need a large explosive charge,” he writes. “This, in turn, allows them to replace missiles for only a small part of their cost.”
The article notes that “if the railgun is placed on the destroyer Lyndon B. Johnson, which is to be put into service in 2018, it will replace the front 155-mm cannon firing missiles.”
As Pete Fanta, the head of the actions on land in the US Navy, said, "although this is a new type of weapon, the fleet is quite sure of it." “It is currently being created; it is no longer science fiction,” he added.
