As Melania Trump accompanied her husband on his first foreign trip, the public got an uncommon glimpse into the first couple’s dynamic.
The first lady, who remained in New York when President Donald Trump moved to Washington, was more visible than she has been during any other stretch of his presidency. She strode along, usually a pace or two behind, as he greeted dignitaries. She stood over his shoulder as he signed guest books. She ventured out on her own a few times, primarily to meet with women and children. But her foremost job was to accompany the president.
Seeing the Trumps together over the course of their nine-day trip aroused the fascination Americans have with all White House marriages. Do they hold hands? (Not regularly.) Glance at one another lovingly or roll their eyes? (Neither, at least before the cameras.)
On the second leg of their trip, they walked down the tarmac at Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport, and Trump seemed to reach back to take his wife’s hand. With a quick flick of the wrist, she seemed to swat it away. The moment, captured on video, went viral.
As they departed Israel the next day, they walked to Air Force One together hand-in-hand as photographers captured the scene. This moment of connection was less commented upon than the apparent brush-off.
For months, Trump’s critics have questioned whether the first couple is happily married. Their friends insist that they are.
“I will put my hand in fire and say that they are super, super happy,” said Paolo Zampolli, the Manhattan businessman who introduced the Trumps to each other at a New York Fashion Week party he hosted in 1998 and remains friendly with the couple.
Karen LeFrak, a longtime friend of the Trumps, told a Washington Post reporter that Melania Trump is “enjoying her life and new role . . . their relationship is great.”
Melania Trump has described herself as a supportive wife. “We know what our roles are and we are happy with them,” she told Parenting magazine a few years ago. “I think the mistake some people make is they try to change the man they love after they get married. You cannot change a person.”
The president, meanwhile, has repeatedly proclaimed that Melania is doing a wonderful job as first lady.
“She was always the highest quality that you’ll ever find . . . and I’ve known her for a long time,” he said at a news conference earlier this year.
He’s used blunter terms of praise as well. In a recent conversation on Air Force One, Trump boasted to a supporter that his wife is “Jackie O on steroids.”
The first couple has been married for 12 years and together for 17. The personalities they’ve presented to the public have typically suggested an opposites-attract dynamic — he is impulsive and decisive, while she is quiet and cautious.
At one point during their foray abroad, they carried themselves like a couple on a double date with other world leaders. An Israeli television station’s microphone caught an exchange they shared with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife.
“You know in Israel all the people like us — the media hate us but the people love us,” Sara Netanyahu told the Trumps as they met. “Like you.”
“We have a lot in common,” President Trump replied.
In Italy, the president introduced the first lady to Pope Francis, who shook her hand and asked in Italian: “What do you give him to eat — potica?”
“Potica,” Melania Trump repeated lightheartedly, referring to a Slovenian sweet bread popular in her home country.
If every marriage is a mystery, political marriages are the Twilight Zone. Really, who knows what goes on in the confines of any relationship they are not a part of? So first couples, like celebrities, are subject to endless analysis and interpretation of their every interaction. They are expected to perfect the political performance of marriage.
Barack and Michelle Obama’s relationship was a central part of their political story. They both spoke of their family’s 6:30 p.m. dinner as a sacred time. They teased each other and held hands in public. She fixed his tie while the cameras snapped photos of them on the North Portico of the White House waiting for guests to arrive for state dinners. He kissed her cheek.
At times, the Obamas seemed to be performing. At a basketball game, they seemed to initially wave away the Kiss Cam when it settled on them — but later called it back and gave a smooch for the crowd.
In 1998, the Clintons were photographed lovingly dancing together, in swimsuits, on a beach vacation. Some political analysts thought the “candid” photo had been staged for the media. Later that same year, amid the sex scandal that engulfed his presidency, Bill and Hillary Clinton made a memorable photo by walking dutifully across the White House lawn together, each holding hands with their then-teenage daughter, Chelsea.
In a moment that made some observers swoon and others cringe, Al Gore planted a full-mouth kiss on wife Tipper at the 2000 Democratic National Convention. The crowd went wild for the show of passion by a man who was perceived as stiff. A decade later, they separated.
Less showy interactions between political couples may be more telling. At the Easter Egg Roll earlier this year, Melania Trump gently nudged her husband as the national anthem was played, to remind him to place his hand over his heart.
She rarely accompanied her husband on the campaign trail, but he referred to her as “his pollster.” Politico reported recently that the first lady continues to watch cable news and report back to her husband how she thinks his communications staff is performing.
Others who have observed the Trumps closely back home, say there is an obvious spark between them.
“When we were together at Mar-a-Lago they looked like they were on a first date,” said Zampolli, referring to a New Year’s celebration he attended with the first couple. “They were quite close to each other.”
On another occasion at Mar-a-Lago, prior to the election, Trump interrupted an interview with a Washington Post reporter to call out “Hi, honey!” to Melania, as she passed through in large sunglasses and a bathrobe on her way to the spa. She acknowledged him quickly but kept walking.
The Trumps will wrap up their tour abroad on Saturday, and this summer Melania Trump is expected to move to Washington, where the media glare and public interest in their marriage could intensify.
“She is very strong, and he’s very strong, but of course it is not pleasant,” Zampolli said.

A push to hold a "royal commission into misconduct in the financial services sector" failed to garner the support of the major parties when put to the federal parliament this afternoon.
Greens senator Peter Whish-Wilson lodged a formal motion at 4pm today, following a number of MPs renewing calls for a royal commission in light of allegations of misconduct at IOOF.
The motion was defeated with 14 senators voting in favour of the government establishing a royal commission and 39 voting against.
The vote comes as an ifa editorial has suggested there could be an upside in a royal commission for advisers.
Correction: This article originally referred to a "royal commission into misconduct in the financial advice industry"

Collaborations between entertainment companies and charities can be beneficial for both sides – but there are also challenges to be overcome. A new summit seeks to tackle these and create the ideal environment to allow these partnerships to flourish.
‘I needed to learn a whole new language,’ says Tommy Nagra, the BBC’s Director of Content for Children in Need of his switch from TV to the third sector.
‘I’m very much a bridge between our brilliant broadcast partners and the BBC charity. One of the key elements in my role is translating “charity speak” into a language that broadcasters can understand and turn into compelling creative propositions that engage and inspire our audiences and supporters.’
The success of programmes such as It’s A Sin shows there is both audience and critical appetite for television that deals with serious issues. In the face of this ever-increasing audience demand for content that reflects the real-world issues that matter to them, collaborating with charities can provide producers and creatives with the means to ensure their stories are truly authentic – and avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
The OKRE Summit, which takes place at Meta HQ in London on Wednesday, June 15th, was created to provide a chance for the two sectors to come together, following extensive conversations with both sides about the challenges and opportunities they face.
Nagra is one of the speakers, along with actress and director Samantha Morton who has filmed a pre-recorded ‘in conversation’ with the Summit’s director, Aradhna Tayal.
Morton said: ‘Ultimately this ability to talk to people through a lens is so powerful and I genuinely believe that the education I received through brilliant filmmakers like Alan Clarke, Lynn Ramsay and Joanna Hogg – these people, they change lives for the better.
‘I think it’s important for people to talk and to listen. I think that communicating as human beings and caring about other people and how to move forward and create a better society is a no brainer. So I think summits like these are massively important.’
Other speakers at the event include Bend it Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha, BAFTA special award winner Jocelyn Stevenson, writer of Fraggle Rock, BBC Entertainment’s commissioning editor Ruby Kuraishe, Simmon Gunning, CEO of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), and Naomi Sesay, Head of Creative Diversity at Channel 4.
Aradhna Tayal said: ‘Our inaugural Summit is a really important moment for the UK entertainment sector. When I joined OKRE, I wanted to build something that would generate progress for the whole sector, by nurturing fresh points of view and stories inspired by lived experience that bring people together in an often-divided world.’
Hosted by Mishal Husain, the programme includes discussions around the benefits of bringing different voices and perspectives to the screen and how entertainment content can effectively engage with issues such as mental health, climate change and immigration.
Sessions will also take a frank and open look at how collaborations work in the real world – tackling head-on the issues that can often cause the best-intentioned and seemingly most promising partnerships to fail. The speakers will share practical approaches to sharing knowledge and expertise across sectors, and the lessons they’ve learned on the way.
The event is organised by OKRE, a new charity that brings together expertise from entertainment, research and lived experience to create content that expands people’s understanding of the world. Through programmes such as the OKRE Summit, their matchmaking service and OKRE Experimental Stories they advance collaboration between the sectors.

Collaboration in action: ITV’s Britain Get Talking
ITV director of social purpose Susie Braun will be one of the speakers at the OKRE Summit.
She says: ‘Since 2019, ITV have been working with mental health charities Mind, YoungMinds and SAMH for our landmark mental health campaign Britain Get Talking.
‘Britain Get Talking originally took place during the final of Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions, with Ant and Dec stopping the show for a minute’s pause. This encouraged families up and down the country to chat to the children they were watching with, to help tackle the rise in depression and anxiety among children.’
A key lesson from the campaign has been the importance of continuing collaboration rather than any one partner simply going it alone after the initial consultation.
Susie says: ‘Britain Get Talking has continued to evolve through the pandemic and beyond. At each stage, Mind, YoungMinds and SAMH have been crucial in shaping the campaign’s objectives and messaging, alongside providing expertise on website materials, language guidance and testimonials. Since Britain Get Talking began, it has encouraged more than 100 million new or more meaningful conversations across the UK.’

If you’re searching for some great places to stay while you’re in Watkins Glen, I have compiled a small list of hotels and some campgrounds for you to consider.
Because Watkins Glen is a tourist town, there are a variety of places to stay while you’re enjoying your visit. There are many options for lodging outside of town; but, I’m focusing on hotels that are located in the village, with the exception of one. The one I am featuring outside of town I know you’ll love!
The name says it all! There are several lake view cabins. They offer Queen, King, and King ADA rooms, which is handicap accessible. They are a pet-friendly place, for a fee. Some of the amenities they offer are campfires at night (when the weather allows), High-Speed Cable and Wi-Fi, and heating and air conditioning. You can dine on the premises at the 3812 Bistro. They offer vegan and gluten-free options. They serve a full breakfast menu, or you can enjoy a nice dinner with a glass of wine or beer.
Located in the middle of the village, Watkins Motel offers remodeled rooms. They’re located within walking distance from local restaurants, and just a stone’s throw away from the Gorge. They offer free Wi-Fi and they have brand-new flat-screen tv’s. If you’re in town for the annual NASCAR race, Watkins Motel is ten minutes from the track, but, take into consideration traffic to the track.
Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel
Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel is located on the southern point of Seneca Lake. They are a AAA Four Diamond property, with unsurpassed service, excellent amenities, and, depending on which side of the hotel your room is on, a breath-taking view of Seneca Lake. You can relax from a day of exploring by the fire pit, which overlooks the lake. They offer a full restaurant and they have a bar, so you can relax and have a drink before dinner. You won’t be disappointed staying here!
Idlwilde boasts being the most romantic Bed and Breakfast in Watkins Glen. Constructed in 1892, Idlwilde has eighteen rooms in this Victorian mansion. It’s just a short walk to downtown Watkins Glen. The inn has fifteen guest-appointed rooms, a wrap-around porch, perfect for evening time sitting, and an enclosed gazebo. They offer packages and specials as well. Children under twelve are not allowed.
If an Airbnb is more your to your liking, you can check the Airbnb site for listings. Simply type in Watkins Glen, NY in the “location window, add your dates and click “Search”!
Is camping more your speed? Watkins Glen offers several campgrounds!
Watkins Glen KOA Resort
You can camp at the resort with a tent, camper, RV, or stay in one of their deluxe cabins. KOA is very kid-friendly, hosting an awesome playground and two heated pools. They also offer an outdoor pool, which is open on Memorial Day weekend. There are on-site bathrooms/showers for guests in tents or campers and RV’s who don’t wish to use their own, to save weight of carrying wastewater. Other fun activities include 18-hole mini-golf and the jumping pad.
Watkins Glen State Park
Watkins Glen State Park also offers tent, RV and camper options. The park is vast, with walking trails throughout the park. There is an on-site pool and snack bar (normally open Memorial Day weekend), picnic areas, and a playground. The Gorge is within walking distance and many people camp here for NASCAR weekend.
Do you prefer camping over staying in a hotel?

Summary: This is the second model that I have tried. First, the yardage/mileage is right on. I tested it on a measured 100yard range. Now for the sad part. The compass, even after several figure 8's to calibrate, seemed to want to point east rather than north. The backtrack to a marked location worked sometimes, but sometimes it was off by 90 to 180 degrees. Totally unreliable. I tried to contact Bushnell customer service by their E Mail address, but they never answered.
Summary: It probably works OK for the applications they're obviously pushing -- hikes in the woods, fishing trips in the back country, etc. But it's no good at all around cars, buildings, metal objects, etc. The GPS reading for the distance back to your starting location is accurate, but the arrow (even with lots of "calibration") is just as likely to send you off in the wrong direction as head you back to where you're trying to go.
Summary: If you want accuracy....not the best item to buy. Many times it takes 20 or more minutes to get satelite readings. And changing batteries is a pain as the back is not too easy to remove. I guess for the money it's ok......but for the serious hunter spend the extra money and go Garmin or Magellen.
Summary: This thing will get you killed if you get lost easily. When it would finally track down a satellite the compass would not hold north. First pointed NE, a minute later NW and than due west. Did not matter what we did, could not find north. Most of the time we would turn on the unit in a large open area and it could not find a satellite. I would give this zero stars if I could.
Summary: I bough this as a backup/emergency GPS for 2 hiking trips in UK. My main GPS is actually my phone, Samsung S4. So, I didn't want to spend too much money a backup GPS. Bushnell BackTrack fits that requirement. I lived in US, northeast coast, where I received the product and tested. It did take 3-4 mins linking up with the satellites for the first time. All subsequent links were pretty fast. Same thing when I arrived at the UK airport, the first link took a while.
Summary: I bought this for a camping/on-the-road trip for my Fiancee and I. I tested it when i got it by marking my house, and walking to my mailbox. It worked for what it needed it. My only complaint is that you have to hold it flat/parallel with the ground. I guess this goes with being a compass based item. If you don't the arrow just points in random directions. That, and the fact that it takes a very long time for it to initially get it's connection.

Note from the columnist: This month, I have asked Dr. Charles Blum, president of the Sacro-Occipital Technique Organization (SOTO) - USA, to write a guest column on the SOT approach to sacroiliac hypermobility. For more information and updated research on SOT, visit www.soto-usa.org.
Sacro-occipital technique (SOT) teaches that the anterior and posterior aspects of the SI joint are completely different in both their anatomy and function. The posterior aspect has hyaline cartilage and is a weight-bearing joint that should not have much, if any, motion. On the other hand, the anterior aspect has a synovial bed, which allows for the joint nutation and whose motion purportedly aids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) mixing in a cranialward direction.
One aspect of the SI joint, when mobile, would be dysfunctional (e.g., SOT's category two), and one aspect of the SI joint when too "stable," would be dysfunctional (e.g., SOT's category one). It seems as if the chiropractic profession is only looking at the SI joint as being fixated, which seems to me to be fixated thinking. The first step in going beyond this fixated thinking would be differentiating between a hypermobile SI (category two) and a fixated one (category one). Is the dysfunction associated with the posterior weight-bearing aspect or is the anterior portion associated with normal nutation? See Fig. 1 below.
The second step is differentiating between a fixated SI joint secondary to an anterior joint dysrelationship, such as a pelvic torsion,1 or a fixated SI joint secondary to a posterior hypermobile joint causing, neuromuscularly speaking, a "splinting" due to increased nociception and local muscle hyperfaciliation, leading to increased myofascial tension.2 This increased tension will simulate an actual osseously fixated joint, but is fixated muscularly as a guarding and protective mechanism.
SOT is an indicator-based system that uses the patient's report of pain and tension at specific locations to guide treatment, since if the "indicators" worsen, the treatment would need to be modified. If they improve, the doctor knows they are going down the right path. The indicators help guide the doctor to realize the patient's progress independent of what a patient might say about his or her condition. When the indicators and symptoms are not congruent, that indicates the need for more extensive diagnostic protocols.3
A concept that DeJarnette, the developer of SOT, determined was that there can be aspects of both an anterior and posterior dysfunction in a SI joint. However, if there is even a small aspect of posterior hypermobility, that usually should be the focus of treatment prior to addressing any anterior SI joint fixation with the purpose of ultimately increasing joint motion. In essence, DeJarnette determined that body stability associated with weight-bearing stresses generally supersede the need to maintain normal sacral nutation.
The treatment of the SI joints involves eliminating myofascial influences that might be affecting pelvic torsion or rotation, as well as any possible confounder associated with a leg-length discrepancy. Each of the SOT categories has a particular manner of determining leg-length inequality, which will guide treatment. Generally with SOT, the treatment uses pelvic blocks, but it is mostly due to preference, effectiveness and its low force. As long as the doctor can balance the indicators associated with anterior or posterior SI joint dysfunction, DeJarnette didn't really care what method of treatment was rendered.
Most category indictors are related to increased muscle tension, places of increased pain in specific regions associated with each individual category and related altered body function (Fig. 2). One way of evaluating whether appropriate treatment is being rendered is the lessening of pain or tension at those specific points, as well as balanced function of the indictors. Both posterior SI joint hypermobility (category two) and anterior SI joint fixation (category one) will have their own set of places of pain and tension, which resolve with appropriate care.
Generally, there are some ways to differentiate between joint fixation versus hypermobility. With joint hypermobility, you will tend to find increased sensitivity anywhere along the inguinal ligament (located bilaterally between the ASIS and the pubic bone), along with either medial (sartorius insertion) or lateral knee (tensor fascia lata insertion) pain on either or both legs (Fig. 3). With a category one, there commonly are places of pain at the region where the piriformis and gluteus medius cross, as well as at the lumbodorsal fascia just lateral to the L4/5 region (Fig. 3). Category one pelvic torsion tends to cause whole-body axial torsion, while category two SI joint dysfunction will have aspects of whole-body torsion as well as lateralized dysfunctions. Category two SI joint instability tends to be unilateral, and the body's kinematic chain, in its inability to translate gravity, will accommodate by having multiple lateral postural unlevelings, from the pelvis to the head.
Category two presentations can have radiating pain along the anterior lateral thigh and multiple related joint dysfunctions at the knees, shoulders and TMJ. Category one tends to cause symmetrical joint dysfunction and is more commonly associated with generalized neurological dysfunction, lowered pain and body function thresholds, and somatovisceral/viscerosomatic (mimicry) involvement.
The 1st rib is different than each of the other 11 ribs in that its joint is based in hyaline cartilage, while the other ribs are synovial-type joints. While the other 11 ribs move with respiration, the 1st rib is supportive and does not. Since the body is a holographic kinematic chain, dysfunction in the SI joint will be represented throughout the body. One place offering information is the 1st rib costovertebral junction. Increased motion in the 1st rib will tend to lead to increased scalenus muscle tension as the muscle attempts to support and splint. DeJarnette has found that a category one tends to affect the 1st rib/scalenus bilaterally and a category two affects the 1st rib/scalenus unilaterally (Fig. 4).
SOT postulates that the scalene/first rib4 area relates to category two due to visual and vestibular righting reflexes,5,6 an attempt of the body to maintain an upright posture when challenged by the assymetrical joint-loading of one SI joint in the category two patient.
Treating SI Joint Hypermobility (Category Two)
Category two SI joint hypermobility is treated predominately in a supine position2,7 with pelvic blocks placed according to pelvic torsion presentation. Pelvic torsion can be determined by multiple methods, but evaluation is not performed until all related myofascial influences affecting the pelvis have been released. Most commonly, the main compensatory factor affecting pelvic torsion is imbalance of the iliopsoas/quadratus lumborum muscles, piriformis/gluteus medius muscles, and upper cervical vertebra. SOT uses various methods to diagnose this restriction relating to palpation of the tissues, evaluating muscle function, such as the "over-the-head arm check," which evaluates the ability of the rib cage to lift from the pelvis. SOT treatment first addresses the myofacial issues. Once there is balanced flexibility, strength, and function of the specific muscles, proceed to the direct treatment of the SI joint.
Category two leg lengths are determined by having the patient abduct his or her legs (15 inches apart) against resistance. After a few seconds of doctor resistance, the patient relaxes while the doctor maintains traction on the legs while determining if one medial malleoli is superior or inferior to the other. If the pelvis is imbalanced, pelvic blocks will be used to reduce pelvic torsion and compress the posterior hypermobile SI joint.
Traditionally, the main test of a category two is the arm fossa test. This tests a patient's ability to respond by holding his or her arm in a consistent position as the doctor contacts the inguinal ligament. While the test has had some degree of acceptance as a SI joint evaluative test,8 it does take time to learn and perfect in order to get consistent results. For that reason, this presentation will mostly focus on easy-to-monitor-and-test indicators such as palpation for pain and increased tension (Fig. 5). If the patient is determined to have a category two presentation and the blocks are placed properly, inguinal ligament sensitivity or medial/lateral knee pain (if present) will begin to subside within 30-60 seconds of block placement. Within one to two minutes, the anterior scalenus muscle tension tends to become more symmetrical and less sensitive.
Sometimes it will take a couple of visits, but the standing sway pattern will begin to balance and anterior/lateral thigh pain will begin to subside. When the patient's indicators are not resolving, there are a few possibilities, such as concomitant SI sprain with sacral segment posterior translation, piriformis muscle syndrome secondary to anterior sacral translation, L4/L5 discopathy secondary to iliolumbar ligament dysfunction, and descending TMJ dysfunctional righting mechanisms.9-11
There are varying levels of category two syndromes associated with significant joint and articular capsule spraining, and other less serious conditions related to posterior joint-increased proprioception irritation and decreased nociception thresholds. Generally, the less severe condition will respond relatively quickly, but the patient will need to be cautioned to resist the temptation to do too much joint motion or joint loading. Healing the joint usually takes around four to six weeks, but with fewer traumas, the joint can heal quicker; with chronically sprained joints, it can take longer. With a chronically sprained joint, the patient will need to perform rehabilitative exercises such as straight prone leg raises, swimming, walking and other types of activities that can stimulate posterior joint circulation to increase ligamentous strength and healing.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will suspend a pilot program of a same-day delivery service in San Francisco due to lack of interest.
The one-year pilot, called "Metropost," will be suspended March 1, USPS said. It was rolled out in December 2012 to test demand for same-day deliveries in a 49 square-mile radius in and around the city. However, only 95 packages a day were sent by the six participating retailers over a five-month period, well short of the required daily minimum target of 200 packages, the USPS' Inspector General's (IG) office said in a statement last week.
The program's success hinged greatly on the involvement of large retailers. However, only one large retailer agreed to participate in the pilot, and that company later withdrew prior to implementation due to what the IG's office called "other operational priorities." As a result, USPS was left with small local firms that could not supply the volumes needed to sustain the program, the IG said.
The IG office did not identify the large retailer. DC Velocity reported in late 2012 that florist and gift-shop giant 1-800-FLOWERS.com had agreed to be the launch customer.
Postal officials said they plan to relaunch the program when they can get large retailers involved. A similar initiative is continuing in New York where large retailers are participating, the IG said.
All told, USPS spent $10,288 on the San Francisco pilot, and earned $760, resulting in a net loss of $9,528.
The IG's office said that USPS "did not properly implement the pilot." Toni G. Delancey, a USPS spokeswoman, said that the "implementation wasn't faulty. It was just that the volume was too low."
The program was launched with several limitations. Annual revenue during the test phase could not exceed $50 million. No more than 10 online e-commerce companies could participate. Each participant must have had at least 10 physical locations of some type nationwide, with one or more in the San Francisco area.
Customers placed orders by 2 p.m. and received them between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. USPS developed a separate delivery network dedicated to the implementation.
San Francisco was chosen as the test market because of its dense population and a customer base that would be receptive to a same-day delivery service, USPS said at the time the service was announced.
USPS was to develop one pricing scheme for packages weighing less than 25 pounds and another for packages weighing between 26 and 150 pounds. The retailer would determine how it would pass on its shipping costs to the end customer.

December 14 (SeeNews) - Ecuadorian state-owned construction company Imbavial has signed a contract with Corporacion Electrica del Ecuador (Celec) to improve the road access to the Chachimbiro geothermal exploration field, the electricity ministry said Thursday.
The project is currently at the stage of pre-feasibility studies in the Urcuqui canton, Imbabura province.
Imbavial will be working on 9 km (5.6 mile) of the road, which will benefit some 600 residents in the communities of Azaya and Cochapata.
According to preliminary estimates, Chachimbiro represents a potential of around 100 MW. Ecuador is in talks with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) about technical cooperation for the advanced stage of pre-feasibility studies, including the first deep geothermal drilling. In July, Celec signed a framework cooperation agreement with El Salvador's LaGeo.

SPIES IN CANAAN by David Park (Bloomsbury £16.99, 208pp)
SPIES IN CANAAN
by David Park (Bloomsbury £16.99, 208pp)
Park has a knack for distilling heavy themes into pint-sized fiction, with a particular taste for tales of male guilt in times of political tumult (as in The Truth Commissioner, his best-known work, about the peace process in his native Northern Ireland).
His latest novel, another compact marvel, is a typically intimate study of complicity and self-reckoning. It’s told by Michael, a retired U.S. intelligence operative who once did some dirty work for a high-up gone rogue while serving in Saigon during the dog days of the Vietnam War.
His flood of memory is prompted by a mysterious tip-off, decades later, that his old boss is now caught up in the Mexican border crisis.
As Park ambitiously bridges American catastrophes past and present, the stakes sharpen to electrifying effect.
This is a meditative novel that, while investing heavily in a patient build-up of atmosphere, never forgets the need to put a foot on the gas.
THE PERFECT GOLDEN CIRCLE
by Benjamin Myers (Bloomsbury £16.99, 256pp)
It’s the sweltering summer of 1989, and we’re in the southern English countryside in the company of Calvert, a Falklands veteran, and Redbone, a former punk guitarist, who meet by night to cut crop circles into the Wiltshire wheat.
As their increasingly ambitious designs spark wonder and panic among a baffled public at home and abroad, the two long-time friends chew the fat about war, music, agriculture, and the state of the nation after ten years of Margaret Thatcher’s government.
This is a wholly amiable novel that nonetheless feels like a stretched-out short story. There isn’t much by way of drama, bar a run-in with a puffed-up young aristocrat, and the characters’ chit-chat rarely sounds like anything but a vessel for authorial reflection.
But what glues it all together is the crunchy phrase-making of Myers’s oratorical style, which can be hit-and-miss, yes, but in full flow is a joy.
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES by Jemma Wayne (Legend Press £8.99, 288pp)
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
by Jemma Wayne (Legend Press £8.99, 288pp)
Wayne, previously nominated for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, returns with this knotty psychodrama about a troubled Hollywood screenwriter haunted by her upbringing in small-town England.
Lilith is living the high life in Los Angeles when an old boyfriend from her teens turns up out of the blue to up-end her hard-won equilibrium by sparking memories of suppressed trauma.
Told in percussive, thrillerish style, the novel’s tantalising glimpses of Lilith’s back story leave us wondering why she can’t sleep unless she’s alone with her bedroom door firmly locked.
Wayne generates tension, for sure, but the reader can’t help feeling unfairly toyed with along the way, and the helter-skelter events by which the story hurtles to a climax, involving memory loss and a missing child, risk looking over-egged when eyed too closely.
Yet despite the odd duff moment, this uneven narrative ultimately holds sway as a chillingly pungent portrait of predatory mind games.

This layering packing tape art reminds me of Project Runway’s Sebastian Grey’s Racial Equality gown (Sebastian Grey won that season). He achieved the color gradient by layering nude on nude using organza in different number of layers of fabric.
This is Design Sponge’s #1 DIY in the past 15 years. It’s cheap, easy, and will make you smile every day. These doors can be hidden in plain site, and you can customize your door with paint and accessories.
For many of us, it’s a time of change; a shift in weather, in temperature, in school schedules, and/or in work schedules. And for some, it’s a time of leisure and relaxation! 🏖
The changing of seasons always sparks inspiration in me to reassess and to rethink my surroundings and routine! And maybe it’s the same for you, too! Now I won’t be back in school until September, and while I am working more hours in the summer break, I still do have a bit more down time to pursue arts and crafts, which does make summer so much more exciting!
Below are some of my favourite DIY tutorials to jazz up your room:
Hannah, of We Lived Happily Ever After, created one of the most magical spaces I’ve ever seen for her children – a secret wardrobe leading to a hallway made into an secret reading nook/playroom filled with murals, lights, a painted ceiling, a floating book wall, and so much more. There are so many DIYs and DIY inspiration pieces, so please read her post where she has posted so many photos and gives a tour of the space.
My artist’s heart went a little wild in this space. I shared a lot of the progress on my Instagram Stories, so many of you watched this project transform from a blank hallway to the magical secret room it is. If you want to see all the projects & how we did most everything (I’m sure I’ll post some blog posts with the DIY’s on here too), you can go to my instagram page: @WELIVEDHAPPILYEVERAFTER and I have most of those videos saved in my highlights under “Narnia.”

There don’t seem to be any corvids – the family of birds that includes crows and ravens – in far southern South America. Their ecological niche in North America is filled by falcons, and especially by the Chimango Caracara.
An adult bird is about 18 inches long. It’s behavior, at least for the birds WC saw, was strikingly like a Common Raven: bold, habituated to people and opportunistic. For example, it hangs around campgrounds and has been known to steal unattended food.
Despite being one of the most common diurnal raptors in southern South America, there hasn’t been a lot of research done on the species. It’s semi-colonial, like ravens, sharing a common night-time roost most of the year but generally nesting apart. It’s exceptionally intelligent, another feature shared with ravens.
The species has a wide distribution and its tolerance of humans means it is at little risk.
WC found them utterly charming.

1. Use only branded engine oil:
One must always use a trusted brand engine oil. If you use any oil and if the oil is heavier than what your car engine can operate on, not only will it ruin your engine but with time it will decrease your fuel efficiency by at least 1-2%. Using recommended grade engine oil from trusted brands and changing engine oil promptly results in increased engine life plus it betters the fuel efficiency of vehicles and maintains your vehicle until you get an oil change the next time.
2. Change tires:
Ruined and badly worn tires are one of the major killers of a car’s mileage per gallon. As tires grow old, their capacity to hold air pressure decreases, and decreased air pressure results in the consumption of more engine power to draw the same amount of weight which newer tires can do by maintaining high tire pressure with less energy required. So tires should be kept in good condition as far as possible. They contribute to increased car mileage per gallon terms. New tires can save your fuel up to 3%.
3. Alignment checks:
Vehicles wheels that stay out of alignment for quite some time consume more fuel on the road, so to avoid this situation you need to get your vehicle checked for wheel alignment at least once in a year.
With time, more and more technologies come up that better the mileage per gallon of vehicles and are available at …7 Steps To Increase Vehicles Performance And Get More MPG Read More

We apologize for our site being down as we switched to a new hosting service. We worked to restore the Web publication of the Electronic Literature Collection, volume 1 first so that teachers and students, as well as general readers, would have access to it. The organization will be continuing to develop the site, and will be working to ensure that there is less downtime in the future, as we also pursue our three main projects: The Electronic Literature Collection, The Electronic Literature Directory, and our series of conferences.
With the 4th International Conference, ELO announces its new officers and board members.
Taking over the reins from Joseph Tabbi will be incoming President Nick Montfort and Vice President Dene Grigar. Also, ELO announces 3 new members to the ELO Board of Directors: Fox Harrell, Carolyn Guertin, and Jason Nelson. Sandy Baldwin will take over as Treasurer and Mark Marino will continue as Director of Communication.
The term of the ELO President is three years.
Below you will find bios:
Nick Montfort, President
Nick Montfort writes computational and constrained poetry, develops computer games, and is a critic, theorist, and scholar of computational art and media. He is associate professor of digital media in the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned a Ph.D. in computer and information science from the University of Pennsylvania.
Montfort’s digital media writing projects include the group blog Grand Text Auto, the ppg256 series of 256-character poetry generators; Ream, a 500-page poem written on one day; Mystery House Taken Over, a collaborative “occupation” of a classic game; Implementation, a novel on stickers written with Scott Rettberg; and several works of interactive fiction: Book and Volume, Ad Verbum, and Winchester’s Nightmare.
Montfort, with Ian Bogost, wrote Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System (MIT Press, 2009), the first book in the Platform Studies series. He wrote Twisty Little Passages: An Approach to Interactive Fiction (MIT Press, 2003), and, with William Gillespie, 2002: A Palindrome Story (Spineless Books, 2002), which the Oulipo acknowledged as the world’s longest literary palindrome. He also edited The Electronic Literature Collection Volume 1 (with N. Katherine Hayles, Stephanie Strickland, and Scott Rettberg, ELO, 2006) and The New Media Reader (with Noah Wardrip-Fruin, MIT Press, 2003). His current work is on narrative variation in interactive fiction and the role of platforms in creative computing.
Dene Grigar, Vice President:
Dene Grigar is an Associate Professor and Director of the Digital Technology and Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver who works in the area of electronic literature, emergent technology and cognition, and ephemera. She is the author of “Fallow Field: A Story in Two Parts” and “The Jungfrau Tapes: A Conversation with Diana Slattery about The Glide Project“, both of which have appeared in the Iowa Review Web, and When Ghosts Will Die (with Canadian multimedia artist Steve Gibson), a piece that experiments with motion tracking technology to produce networked narratives. Her most recent project is the “Fort Vancouver Mobile Project,” a locative / mixed media effort that brings together a core team of 20 scholars, digital storytellers, new media producers, historians, and archaeologists to create location-aware nonfiction content for mobile phones to be used at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. She serves as Associate Editor for Leonardo Reviews
New Board Members
Fox Harrell is a researcher, author, and artist exploring the relationship between imaginative cognition and computation. He and his laboratory, the Imagination, Computation, and Expression [ICE] Lab/Studio develop new forms of computational narrative, gaming, and related digital infrastructures and technical-cultural media with a basis in computer science, cognitive science, and digital media arts. He is an Assistant Professor of Digital Media in the department of Literature, Communication, and Culture at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Carolyn Guertin has a dual appointment in new media. She is Director of the eCreate Lab and Assistant Professor of Digital Media in the Department of English at the University of Texas at Arlington. She is also a faculty member at Transart Institute in Berlin, Germany and Linz, Austria, an international low residency MFA program in new media at Danube University Krems. She is curator of the celebrated collection Assemblage: The Online Women’s New Media Gallery out of the U.K., and was Senior McLuhan Fellow at the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, where she was SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow from 2004-06. She has been a Literary Adviser to the Electronic Literature Organization since its inception, is a member of the MLA Committee on Information Technology, and is an editorial board member of Convergence.
She earned her PhD with a study of cyberfeminist digital narrative and the technologies of memory in the Department of English and Film Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada. She has taught, exhibited and published internationally, and does theoretical work in: cyberfeminism, hacktivism, born-digital arts and literatures, (global) film futures, information aesthetics, postliteracy and the social practices surrounding technology (especially social networking and participatory culture). She is working on a new book on new media art, authorship and the politics of creation in our digital world.
Born from the computerless land of farmers and spring thunderstorms, Jason Nelson somehow stumbled into creating awkward and wondrous digital poems and interactive stories of odd lives. Currently he teaches Net Art and Electronic Literature at Griffith University in the Gold Coast’s contradictory lands. Aside from coaxing his students into breaking, playing and morphing their creativity with all manner of technologies, he exhibits widely in galleries and journals, with work featured around globe in New York, Mexico, Taiwan, Spain, Singapore and Brazil, at FILE, ACM, LEA, ISEA, ACM, ELO and dozens of other acronyms. But in the web based realm where his work resides, Jason is most proud of the millions of visitors his artwork/digital poetry portal http://www.secrettechnology.com attracts each year.
With the start of Deena Larsen’s workshop, E-Lit 101, the 4th International Conference & Festival of the Electronic Literature Organization is underway at Brown University where both ELO, literary hypertext, and hypertext itself ostensibly began.
The workshop, attended by approximately 150 electronic literary scholars and artists, marks a look back at the foundational work of Robert Coover and the continuation of the ELO PAD project (ARCHIVE) and an the group’s visionary glimpse at the future of electronic literature.
Conference details can be found here.
Twitter stream is tagged: #ELOAI streaming from @eliterature
Among with readings, performances, screenings, and critical panels, the conference will also announce the Electronic Literature Directory 2.0 and the Electronic Literature Collection, volume 2.
The conference features a number of tributes to Robert Coover, including artwork and panels that re-explore the work that continues to fascinate and drive this digital avant-garde.
ELO Co-founder and Board member, Scott Rettberg, sends word of 2 opportunities in Norway! (Note: Summer deadlines for applications.)
Two opportunities are now available at the University of Bergen’s Digital Culture program (http://www.uib.no/rg/digitalculture) for scholars of electronic literature.

POSTDOC IN ELECTRONIC LITERATURE BIBLIOGRAPHY
ELO welcomes 010110 (decimal 22) with a special announcement:
The framework for the Electronic Literature Directory version 2.0 is now online:
Think of this as an open house in a model home for e-lit.
But there’s more: The ELD will feature venues or “collections,” aggregators of e-lit and criticism.
When you take a glance at our demo works, you will notice some exciting features:
In addition to basic information about author, date, url, and language, entries list software platforms as well as annotations by ELO members. However, registered users will be able to extend the discussion in the comment section or by writing a review.
The ELO Directory team has worked hard to make these works more accessible, developing search tools, categories, and tags, the subject of much discussion on Joseph Tabbi’s recent online meditation (On Reading 300 Works of Electronic Literature).
The works you see are but a small sample of the ones already vetted, but this is a special invitation to see the structure of this exciting re-imagined resource.
Start by creating an account and submitting creative or critical works or collection sites. Those submissions will be delivered to our Directory team for evaluation and review.We’re looking forward to the re-launch of this flagsite enterprise of ELO.
Watch for full announcements to follow including thanks to the team who have been working so hard to make this a possibility.
At the start of the new decade, it is impossible to predict what new forms of literature will emerge, but you at least know where you can find them: the Electronic Literature Directory.
[Also, reminder, ELO AI deadline: January 15, 2010 or 011501]
Announcing a new(er) presentation of Electronic Literature Organization:
Searching for a New(er) Digital Literature.
“Searching for a New(er) Digital Literature” is an exhibition of twelve multimedia works that offer readers representative examples of new digital poetry and fiction on the web. Curated by Alan Bigelow, it includes work by Jim Andrews, Marvin Bell & Ernesto Lavandera, Sommer Browning & Mark Lomond & Johanne Ste-Marie, Andy Campbell, J.R. Carpenter, Chris Joseph & Kate Pullinger, Tammy McGovern, Stuart Moulthrop, Alexander Mouton, Jason Nelson, Victoria Welby, and Jody Zellen.
The exhibit is both online and offline. The offline exhibit launched on January 15th at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, USA. The online exhibit is available at
The ELO Visionary Landscapes 2008 conference at Washington State University Vancouver was one of the largest in the history of the organization and certainly one of the largest (if not THE largest) international conferences to focus on electronic literature.
The conference also marks a watershed expansion in ELO since all attendees were either current or new members. As this organization continues to grow internationally, the conference drew attendees from 17 countries and 5 continents. The works and presentations continued to demonstrate the diversity of forms that call themselves electronic literature.
Here are some more numerical output from the conference in the first part of a series of post-conference posts.

Guest Post: Tom in the Jungle
While I faced visa problem after visa problem I found comfort in knowing that one of my cohort, and a great friend, Tom was out in the jungles of Borneo living the dream. Somewhere between May and July of 2015 I asked him to write a guest post, and being the person that I am, I am only getting around to posting it now. Sorry, Tom! But it was worth the wait, he really brings the jungle to life:
In this summer of 2015 I had the good fortune to find myself in a Bornean rainforest conducting fieldwork for my MSc. The Sabangau peat-swamp forest in Central Kalimantan was my home for two months. As I write these words my time here is drawing to a close. Read on, if you will, and I will tell you about the remarkable place where I lived and the strange and wonderful things that I saw in my short time living in the jungle. Continue reading Guest Post: Tom in the Jungle
The Cultural Shift
Balinese culture has always had to fight for it’s survival in an increasingly Westernized world. In fact, Balinese culture was born out of the political turmoil that plagued the Indonesian island of Java that lasted from the 1200’s to the late 1400’s. In 1478 there was the last major exodus to Bali when the carvers, painters and artists fled to the small island in hopes of finding a creative sanctuary. Continue reading The Cultural Shift
Jane Goodall speaks from atop a chair at Woburn Safari Park
Forward: This is a long post, but it is my hope that you will make it to the end. Getting the chance to meet someone as inspiring as Jane Goodall is an experience I could not limit to a few hundred words. And although this is a post that may not introduce to you a new species or a conservation crisis, I think that it can introduce you to hope if you will let it.
I arrived exactly one hour early. I stood and watched the meerkats outside of the Woburn Safari Park’s Safari Lodge, biding my time until the doors opened and I could find my seat. Even before seeing Jane Goodall standing a mere 10 feet from me the day was perfect. I had seen my first ever wild pheasant, which could seem silly to many people, but for me it was incredibly exciting. Even the mundane turns magical on the day you get to meet your life-long hero.

The Great Limpopo Tranfrontier Park
The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park is one of the largest national parks in the world and one of the few national parks that actually covers multiple countries. This was in hopes to create a protected migration path for a variety of the species found in this park. So lets learn a little bit more about this amazing park.
Education is key to conservation
Education is key to conservation. I think that this is an incredible message worth sharing. It is what I aim to do every time I post on endangeredliving.com, our FB page or my twitter. I want to educate people and teach them about species they may never have heard of, so that they can care. You have to know something exists and that it is in trouble to be able to want it to help it. It is such a basic idea that can get over looked.
So I encourage you to share this photo, to remind people how important it is to learn every day. Keep an open mind and it can lead to a great idea that might just change the world.
Bornean residents forced to evacuate
Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, Zulkifli Hasan has stated in a press conference on April 1st that all urban areas on the island of Borneo will be shut down. The reason for this sudden stop of not only the expansion of metropolitan areas, but also to their existence is the Indonesian government’s recent plan to evacuate all citizens currently residing in Indonesian Borneo.
What would you take into the field?
As the time draws closer for my first ever extended period in the field as a real-live grownup, I find my self wondering, what on earth do I bring with me? Of course as a girl I wonder what if I need to look nice? Should I bring make-up? Just in case? Maybe follow Mireya Mayor‘s lead and pack a little black dress? But then the outdoors[wo]man in me kicks in and I wonder which parts of my Wilderness First Aid training I’ll need to use… Will I have to splint a leg with branches and a sleeping bag? What about stop a gushing wound? Then I wonder if I’ll end up pulling something Bear Grylls-esc and get stranded away from my camp and have to use nothing but a knife, a lighter and the shirt off my back to survive for days on end while living on the leaves and trying to not get eaten by a lion.
Well most of this stuff probably won’t happen, but now you know what it sounds like in my head! But I was curious after reading Mireya Mayor’s book Pink Boot and a Machete about what kinds of quirky things are useful in a field situation, so I reached out. I asked the Twitterverse what their item they would never be caught without in the field was, which also morphed into, which books do you read in the field. Here are some of the great responses:
Everything to know about orangutans
Everything you need to know about orangutans. There are a lot of things, but if you want a quick run down of the species, what they’re like and the troubles they are facing in the wild. Orangutans are critically endangered, as over 50% of the orangutan population has been lost over the last 50 years. This is mainly due to hunting and habitat loss. There are quite a few different organizations working to save the orangutan, most notably OFI which was started by Dr. Birute Galdikas who conducted the first ever long term study of orangutans in 1971. Since then we have learned a lot about orangutans, especially in that they are extensive tool users and they are much more social than previously thought.

Masoala National Park
A little while back I posted about the Aceh Protected Forest, a national park in peril and some ways that it might be improved. But there are still a lot of parks in peril out there, one that especially comes to mind is Masoala National Park in Madagascar. Madagascar has lost 85% of it’s forest to slash and burn farming, but it’s also one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. How can we keep the lemurs leaping through the quickly falling forests of Madagascar? Well I guess you’ll just have to keep reading…

List of Speakers:
- Ms. Nathalie – Assistant Professor Educational Administration, Foundations & Psychology, University of Calgary
- Mr. Ethan Baker – Associate Professor, Department of International Development Studies, University of Alberta
- Mr. Liam Bell – Department of sociology, Assistant Professor, The University of Waterloo
- Mr. Grayson Logan – Professor, History Dept York University Toronto
- Ms. Austin Campbell – Assistant Professor, University of Ottawa
The session was opened & chaired by Mr. Liam Bell
Mass protests first erupted after a series of calls for nationwide rallies and picketing against the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan and his cabinet, orchestrated by far-right party Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) The primary motive was against France’s view on freedom of speech and radical Islam, concerning a blasphemous caricature published there and the events surrounding the murder of Samuel Paty, a French middle school teacher. The demonstrators demanded boycott of French goods and the expulsion of the French ambassador. Under this extremist threat, the French embassy in Pakistan was compelled to issued an advisory to its nationals asking them to temporarily leave the country following violent anti-France protests by a radical religious group, The Tehreek-i-Labaik Pakistan (TLP). The embassy, in an email to its citizens, said, “Due to the serious threats to French interests in Pakistan, French nationals and French companies are advised to temporarily leave the country.”
TLP leader Rizvi was taken into custody hours after calling for an April 20 march on the capital to demand the expulsion of the French ambassador, an ouster the group says the government had already agreed to last year. The government has never acknowledged any such agreement. Rizvi is the son of a firebrand cleric and previous head of the TLP, Khadim Hussain Rizvi, who died in November after leading massive anti-France protests across Pakistan. During those protests, TLP supporters brought the capital to a standstill for three days that saw heavy street fighting and pushed authorities to cut mobile phone coverage in Islamabad and surrounding areas.
Ms. Nathalie , The TLP has been consistently championing the cause of Khatm-e-Nabuwat (finality of Muhammad’s prophethood) and Namoos-e-Risalat (honour of the Prophet Muhammad). One should remember that in late 2017, protests and demonstrations by the Khadim-led TLP had forced the then-ruling party to make a deal with the outfit. A controversy had also merged after leaked footage showed a Pakistani military official handing out money to the protesters after the deal. It was shameful for Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies to be a mute spectator when TLP cadres indulged in wanton violence last week. The lack of resistance from the police is a very worrying phenomenon.
Ms. Austin Campbell , Having started its journey as a religio-political protest movement, the TLP today is a political party in Pakistan. It had contested the 2018 elections across the country. And though it did not win any National Assembly seat, the TLP emerged as the third-largest party in terms of votes in Punjab and even has representatives – Mohammad Qasim, Mohammad Younus Soomro, and Sarwat Fatima – in the Sindh Assembly. The question then arises is: how will the PTI government enforce the ban? Despite being a political party, the TLP has retained its character as a movement. However, the point here is to argue that the TLP’s emergence as a force to reckon with happened largely due to inexcusable state policies by successive Pakistan governments
Mr. Ethan Baker , Not long ago, the PTI government had gone the extra mile in November 2020 to appease the TLP by conceding to its irrational demands over remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron that had been considered Islamophobic. The deal that promised to consider expelling the French ambassador might have ended the protest, but it also emboldened the group and weakened the government’s authority. The Khan government’s recent mishandling of the TLP’s terror is a symptom of a deep-rooted malaise that cannot be addressed by a mere ban. Pakistan has often proscribed many radical groups when the myth of controlling them could no longer be sustained under international scrutiny.
Mr. Grayson Logan ,Not only did the anti -France protests show the magnitude of extremism in France, it had a very inhumane side too. Thousands of supporters of a Pakistan Islamist party who blocked major roads to protest the arrest of their leader also disrupted critical oxygen supplies for Covid-19 patients, A leading health official in Punjab, said the disruption of oxygen supplies during protests Monday night had been a “crisis”. “Please do not block roads for ambulances and for visitors to the hospitals. Some ambulances are carrying oxygen cylinders, which are extremely essential for Covid patients,” the official was quoted by media.

Gunfire Games' Remnant: From the Ashes has been out for two days now, and initial reviews are quite favorable. In part that's due to the difficulty of the encounters in the game, which requires players to come up with some interesting ways of dealing with whatever gets thrown at them. The other part is tackling those encounters with friends (or strangers). A recent interview with Mike Maza, Principal Designer at Gunfire Games, sheds a little light on how the team approached co-op.
You can check out the full interview over on the Xbox Wire website, but here are some key points if you've been wondering what the co-op entails:
- Enemy numbers and their strength are increased based on the number of players in the game. Loot drops and rarity of loot drops are also increased
- Players can customize their characters to fit within a group dynamic
- Loot is shared among all players. If one person picks up a weapon, piece of armor, mod or trinket, consumable, or some Scrap (the in-game currency), all other players receive the same regardless of how far apart they are
- New worlds are generated for each playthrough (and can be generated any time the player wants), which also means new quests and different enemies. Multiple playthroughs will be required to see everything the game has to offer, which means lots of opportunities to experience something new with friends each time
Frankly, we're excited to get our hands on this game and hope to be able to share some impressions and a live stream of it soon.
Remnant: From the Ashes is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Three player online co-op is supported throughout.

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have been under fire many times since Facebook’s launch in 2004. Much like the baby boomers’ concerns with internet security, Facebook users questioning their privacy on the platform. On March 16, it was revealed by the New York Times and the London Observer that Cambridge Analytica, a British consulting firm, gained access to private data. The data was allegedly used to target potential swing voters in political campaigns, including Brexit and Donald Trump’s 2016 election.
Cambridge Analytica reportedly used the data of 87 million users, potentially even after Facebook asked them to delete the information. The news of misconduct was delivered with the help of Cambridge Analytica’s cofounder Christopher Wylie. Both the US and the UK have taken action, with the Federal Trade Commission investigating Facebook’s privacy practices and UK authorities raiding Cambridge Analytica’s London offices.
Wylie and other whistleblower, Shahmir Sanni, testified before the UK parliament regarding pro-Brexit campaigner’s involvement with the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Zuckerberg took about a week to speak publicly about the scandal, while Facebook denied that they had done any wrongdoing. The fact is that Facebook failed to inform its users of the security breach, causing a growing amount of distrust in the platform.
Congress asked Zuckerberg to testify on the event. Zuckerberg has since spoken, stating that he will testify “if it’s the right thing to do.” He also apologized, saying that he “hired the wrong people” and “trusted the wrong people.”
The scandal has affected Facebook’s stock price, although investors have reportedly seen a decrease in value for the past few months. On March 14, Facebook stock was valued at 184.19 USD. It reached a low of 152.22 USD on March 27, but has since began to crawl back, reaching 155.10 USD on April 4. Despite the proportionally low value of the company’s stock, the fact that it is slowly increasing again is a testament to the social media giant’s clout.
Many have deleted their Facebook accounts, unlinked Facebook from other social media accounts and tweeted #DeleteFacebook, trending the hashtag quickly.
Now, all we have to do is wait to see what unfolds in the legal battles that have ensued since the scandal and how Facebook will be affected.

UN designated global terrorist Masood Azhar, chief of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), should be arrested by January 18 in connection with a terror financing case, an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan has asked the Punjab Police, a court official said on Saturday.

Edouard Vuillard Galleries
Jean-Edouard Vuillard, the son of a retired captain, spent his youth at Cuiseaux (Saone-et-Loire); in 1878 his family moved to Paris in modest circumstances. After his father\'s death, in 1884, Vuillard received a scholarship to continue his education. In the Lycee Condorcet Vuillard met Ker Xavier Roussel (also a future painter and Vuillard\'s future brother in law), Maurice Denis, musician Pierre Hermant, writer Pierre Veber and Lugne-Poe. On Roussel\'s advice he refused a military career and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met Pierre Bonnard.
In 1885, Vuillard left the Lycee Condorcet and joined his closest friend Roussel at the studio of painter Diogene Maillart. There, Roussel and Vuillard received the rudiments of artistic training.

Related Artists:Alexej von Jawlensky
Alexej Georgewitsch von Jawlensky (13 March 1864 - 15 March 1941) was a Russian expressionist painter active in Germany. He was a key member of the New Munich Artist's Association (Neue Kenstlervereinigung Menchen), Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group and later the Die Blaue Vier (The Blue Four).
Roger Van Der Weyden
Rogier van der Weyden was the son of Henri de le Pasture, a cutler in Tournai, and Agn?s de Watreloz. His birthdate is estimated from the facts that he was stated to be 35 in April 1435 and 43 in September 1441. Before or in 1427 he married Elisabeth Goffaert (c. 1405-77), whose father was a prosperous shoemaker in Brussels. Rogier may have lived for a time in Brussels: his eldest child Cornelis (b 1427) was sometimes referred to as 'de Bruxella' but was not necessarily a native of Brussels. On 5 March 1427 'Rogelet de le Pasture, natif de Tournai' was apprenticed to the Tournai painter Robert Campin. This Rogelet duly completed his apprenticeship in 1431 and on 1 August 1432 became a master of the Tournai guild. Despite much debate, it would appear that Rogelet was Rogier van der Weyden, though it has also been argued that in 1427 Rogier was a married man well past the normal age of apprenticeship and that Rogelet must have been a second Tournai painter of the same name. JACQUES DARET, however, was in his twenties when in 1428 he was apprenticed to Campin, and other instances can be cited of married apprentices. The political situation at Tournai in 1427-8 was unusual, and the guild system was not functioning normally. Gerrit Dou
Gerard Dou Locations
Dutch genre and portrait painter of Leiden. The son of a glass painter, he was apprenticed to an engraver and worked from 1628 to 1631 in the studio of the young Rembrandt. Although he occasionally borrowed Rembrandt themes, he was more detailed and meticulous in his execution. His scenes of domestic, middle-class life were tremendously popular and often imitated. Among his most famous works are Evening Light (Rijks Mus.), Young Man (The Hague), The Cook (Louvre), and a self-portrait (Metropolitan Mus.).

We are obviously gluttons for punishment, and recently acquired Archie our GSD pup.
At 8-9 weeks old he is a real live wire, and is having a great deal of fun antagonising Fin and Daisy with his antics (and sharp teeth!). Not least of which is hanging on to one end of their Romp n Roll toy while they try to carry the other end! Light hearted fun, with a bit of noise thrown in…
Apart from the odd mishap, he has fitted in really well and has been socialised brilliantly by the breeder. We have been keeping up the good work by making sure he meets the postman every day, and delivery drivers when possible, and he is also enrolled in some local training classes. We do most of the training ourselves at home, but it is extremely useful for him to meet lots of other dogs and people.
