I’m doing a 3 hour challenge in Forza Motorsport 7 that involves driving 69 laps of Spa–Francorchamps, a famous circuit in Belgium. There will be 24 cars competing but it’s just the game’s AI, and the hardest part won’t be racing them, but simply completing it. Driving lap after lap for 3 hours is quite mentally demanding, especially keeping consistent lap-times and enough mental focus to not drive off the track. So I’m just going to document the process in a writeup to give a little insight into what it’s like. Some people might have seen this achievement in the game and you’re wondering, “is it worth it?”. I’m going to say yes because I’ve done endurance races before and found them very rewarding and invigorating. It’s definitely not easy though.
The first part of this mini-journey is preparation, the how and the why. You need a good reason to do this because it’s a time-sink. For me, I want to train myself to be more patient and focused, distract my mind a little bit, and also try and get better at this particular track, Spa. It’s one of the best tracks in the world and I don’t think I could drive for 3 hours on a bad track, so this works out. Next you look at the how, what options are you toggling and how ready are you physically? Difficulty and assists can be set however you like. I don’t want to be overly stressed so it’s not on the hardest difficulty, but I also don’t want to get bored and breeze past everyone so I put the AI difficulty to average. Now make sure you’ve got the next few hours free, I’m doing this at night when not much is happening. Also make sure you’ve eaten in the last few hours and have a lot of water within drinking distance.
Start your engines!
It’s on! Wow this feels amazing. Zooming through the first corner I pick off a couple of cars. I love racing games. This car I’m driving feels quite good as I accelerate strongly out of the first corner without much wheelspin. I’m flying through Eau Rouge now and it feels amazing.
Already up to 3rd place halfway through the lap, I should slow down now and get used to the car. It feels quite heavy but turns smoothly and everything feels under control. I test the braking a little bit and wobble about and it doesn’t lose any grip. Very nice. I cycle through the camera options and decide the first-person is still the best for this car. Everything’s feeling comfy now and I can go back to being aggressive to take the lead.
Well that was easy. I did not put the difficulty high enough because the race already seems mine for the taking. I could restart but honestly I’m not too worried about this and don’t care about the AI much at all, I’m doing this for myself. Time to focus and nail down some good lap-times.
Your batteries are low flashed on the screen. Oops. I was not as prepared as I thought. Xbox One batteries last about 60 hours and I forget about them most of the time. I pulled over the side of the road and changed the batteries to make this feel like an authentic pitstop. I have some more batteries ready to go since I cycle them with two others, but it still requires some fumbling about. Now I’m in almost last place with some catching up to do. Luckily I know I have a fast car and pace on the rest of the field. This could be interesting and now I’m glad the difficulty wasn’t super high or this would be over.
Well I’m back to 1st place again and feel good about all the passes I made, after taking J.Davis in the #14 Jaguar quite easily in Turn 1 for the lead. Knowing I have speed I did them slowly and patiently and got through without any crashes. I wasn’t feeling as safe as before though. If I lost batteries or the phone rang or something happened, I needed a big gap. Suddenly there were more things on my mind after the battery issue and I had a bigger perspective of the race. Time to really push myself and build a strong gap. This will be fun.
About to lap some cars for the first time. Might seem a bit early but with 24 cars on track some of them are bound to be having a bad race. It’s just slow AI in reality, but I like to imagine them as racers to make it more fun. After quite a few laps on my own I was happy to have something new to focus on now with a couple of other cars to think about.
Things were starting to drag a bit. I was still building a lead but my laptimes were stagnating and I was down pretty consistently each sector by a few tenths. My mind was wandering, is this really a good use of time? What else could I be doing? I want to play all these other games. I want to do other writeups. Is this writeup even going to be good? Is that a man standing in the bushes? Will these screenshots save properly? Do I even need screenshots for this? What Splatoon rotation is on? Should I zone out even more with some music? It was feeling like a grind when… SCREECH!
Suddenly a car spun in front and woke me up real quick. PHEW! I very almost crashed into it but luckily it was slightly off the racing line. A bit of a scare though. Hopefully the driver in the other car is alright. That made me realise I was starting to get lazy with my laptimes and the last 10 or so laps were a bit of a blur. I had to refocus because I wasn’t even halfway through yet. Focusing was the whole point of this.
This was my fastest lap of the race by 1.6 seconds, wow. I was slowly learning about each corner and the car’s strengths but hadn’t strung a lap this good together until I refocused. This was the kick I needed to keep enjoying the rest of this race I think, as I nailed down and tried to match or beat this laptime for the rest of the race. I had lapped so many cars at this point I lost all reference for where 2nd place was. I just knew I had a huge lead and that I was hungry to finish now.
VROOOOM!! Another fastest lap finally, taking off a huge 1.3 seconds. 11 laps to go! The second half of this race is just flying by as I’m in the zone. I forgot about the writeup and screenshots. There’s been lots of traffic with lapped cars and I couldn’t set my best possible lap until I just got some clear road just now, and it feels amazing. I’m flying home now pushing as hard as I can.
I’ve been getting very close to setting another fastest lap and wanted to try extra hard and take some risks on the last lap, but unfortunately there was a lot of traffic in front of me. I tried anyway but lost about a second overtaking one of them. But it didn’t matter anymore, I was about to be home free. I had just a few corners to go and felt immense relief along with fatigue. My trigger finger was starting to hurt actually and I was perhaps getting slower from fatigue so I’m still pretty happy I set a fastest lap on 58 and pushed myself pretty hard. Here we go, final corner!
BOOYAH! It ended up being less than 3 hours too at 2 hours 54 minutes. Was it worth it? Definitely as I already decided in the beginning. I feel like it got easier in the second half somehow. I just stopped thinking about everything else but driving. I thought this might sour me on the game for a while, but I honestly want to keep playing because I feel like I found some laptime in the last 10 laps and have a bit more up my sleeve. Oh yeah, and I got the 50g achievement out of it. I forgot that was even a thing but I admit it was quite nice to hear the achievement sound effect for something that was actually a legit challenge. Hope this was worth reading and good luck to anyone trying this or the other Endurance races. There are much longer ones out there if you have a look at Project CARS, but 3 hours hits the sweet spot for me without compromising health. Stay sharp and stay fresh.

Consumption of potato in Kenya has been increasing over the past few years and it is now one of the most highly consumed crops. Many families eat it as a staple food, but it is also becoming a significant source of income due to its short maturity time, high yields per unit area and the ability to harvest it twice a year as opposed to the other staple foods like maize. Its favourable agronomic characteristics have led many farmers across the country to venture into production of the crop. However, it has been realized that potato production is hampered by lack of access to certified potato seed as well as limited knowledge on good agricultural practices on potato production, post-harvest handling and market linkage.
Through a grant from the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), Baraka Agricultural College – a Technical Vocational Education and Training Institute- Egerton University and other partners are collaborating on a Community Action Research Project (CARP+) on “Enhancing Access to High Quality Seed Potato for Improved Productivity and Income of Smallholder Farmers in Nakuru County”. The Project seeks to transform the potato value chain within Nakuru into a vibrant commercialized sub-sector for improved income and livelihoods of smallholder farmers through building the capacity of approximately 6000 farmers, building research capacity and skills of students and supporting incubation of business ideas along the potato value chain. Key stakeholders currently involved include farmers, researchers, the National Potato Council of Kenya, and other government actors especially those involved in rapid multiplication techniques.
So far, the project, launched in 2017, has registered three major achievements: setting up a demonstration garden, building a modern seed potato post-harvest store, and demonstrating general good agricultural practices in potato production
Establishing a demonstration garden
Baraka Agricultural College established two seed potato demonstration plots of the “Shangi” seed potato variety for students and farmers: one in the October 2017 to February 2018 season and second in the April to August 2018 season. Both fields were inspected and certified by the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS). The harvests, though good, however did not fully live to our expectations.
In the first season, 2.5 tonnes were planted on three acres, but the crop experienced a dry spell between December 2017 and March 2018. Inspite of this, we managed to harvest 10.5 tonnes. For the second season, the College planted four tones of seed potato on a five-acre plot. This time the crop was hit by very wet conditions and late blight fungal disease which we eventually controlled through spraying with fungicide. A total of 18.08 tonnes (about 3.5 tonnes per acre) was harvested. We hope these figures will improve in the future, given more favorable weather conditions and better pest and disease management.
Students of Baraka College participated fully in the entire process and gained valuable experience in managing seed potato production. The experience has greatly improved the teaching and practical capacity of our crop science lecturers who now have a positive mindset towards potato production for seed, food and a transition to entrepreneurship
Establishment of a post-harvest storage facility
Through the project, Baraka College has also set up a modern seed potato storage facility which can handle up to 50 tonnes of seed. This means that the college can plant up to six acres of potato seed at any given time and not have to worry about storage and is a big boost for student and farmer training.
Demonstrating general good agricultural practices in potato production
In addition to participation of Baraka College students in the setup of the demonstration plot, the project has made effort to expose students, farmers and stakeholders to general good agricultural practices in potato production from diverse knowledge sources. Staff and students from Baraka College participated in training on potato production at Egerton University Students from Egerton University and, in turn, farmers and university students visited the Potato Project at Baraka Agricultural College to learn practical skills in potato production. Both student groups later participated in Farmer Open Days at Kisima and Wambugu farm in potato management. These interactions helped to bridge traditional knowledge divides between the different stakeholder groups and deliver a richer, more holistic learning experience.
Impact and lessons learned
Even with the seemingly good harvests from the two seasons, the demand for seed potato is too high for us to satisfy. When farmers were informed during the Regional Potato Fair, that we are bulking shangi, demand skyrocketed so much so that we have already sold off all the potato seed that had been harvested. There is a real gap in providing certified potato seed. In the coming season, we will try to bridge this gap by doubling our acreage to 10 acres per season and addressing the agronomic practices that keep our production below the optimum.
We have experienced a couple of practical challenges in production which we take as lessons moving forward:
- Obtain special tools for harvesting to avoid injury to the potatoes
- Have in place recommended harvesting and storage sacks
- Time planting appropriately especially when relying on natural weather for production
- Dedicate a portion of land to seedlings in order to have a continuous supply
- Obtain the necessary equipment for sorting and grading the seed potato according to size. Manual sorting, not only takes longer, but tends to be inaccurate.
- Partner with the university to better address the agronomic production constraints from a scientific basis
On the training front, both our staff and the student community have gained a lot in terms of knowledge on good agricultural practices, scientific insights and practical competence on potato seed management. Experiential learning is a good approach to getting solutions for underlying challenges in seed potato production and close interaction with other key stakeholders especially Egerton University, the National Potato Council and participants at potato trade fairs have further enriched our capacities. We believe the College is now more competent in advising farmers and will have a competitive advantage as a supplier of clean seed in the future. For this, we are grateful to RUFORUM for offering us the opportunity to be part of the Seed Potato Project.
“Enhancing Access to High Quality Seed Potato for Improved Productivity and Income of Smallholder Farmers in Nakuru County” is a project funded by RUFORUM through a grant from the Mastercard Foundation under a partnership programme “Transforming African Agricultural Universities to meaningfully contribute to Africa’s growth and development (TAGDev)”

The New Zealand government is looking to regulate the domestic market for elephant ivory as it seeks to strengthen measures to prevent international trade in endangered species.
Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage today released a discussion document detailing options to amend the Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989.
Ms Sage said the review aimed to guarantee New Zealand was meeting its commitments to ensure this kind of trade "is not detrimental to the survival of species in the wild".
"There is growing concern worldwide about the role that trade in elephant ivory plays in the poaching and decline of elephant populations.
"New Zealand's domestic market for ivory is thought to be small but the domestic sale of elephant ivory items is not currently regulated", she said.
There are only around 400,000 elephants remaining worldwide.
According to the Jane Goodall Institute, which has called for a complete ban on the buying and selling of ivory in New Zealand, an elephant dies every 20 minutes, and the ivory trade played a huge role in their deaths.
Ms Sage said the costs and benefits of stronger regulation was part of the review of the law.
"Options for stronger regulation range from a ban on the domestic sale of elephant ivory in New Zealand, a ban with some exemptions for items such as antiques and musical instruments, to establishing a register of elephant ivory sellers and tracking all elephant ivory items that are sold," she said.
The review will also look at ways to improve how the Act operates, and make it easier to implement New Zealand's international obligations.
Public consultation on the discussion document will run until 25 October.

One elephant is killed for its ivory every 25 minutes. One rhino is brutally killed for its horn every 8 hours.
These magnificent animals are being traded into extinction — to supply a human desire for “luxury wildlife products”, to parade one’s “wealth and status”, to take home a tourist souvenir or to give a business partner a gift with “prestige”.
New Zealand is part of this global problem.
The domestic trade in elephant ivory and rhino horn is unregulated in New Zealand, with no rules or any requirements to show proof of where and when the ivory or horn was obtained. An elephant tusk can sell for more than NZD $7,000 while a pair of raw rhinoceros horns can fetch over NZD $38,000.
The great news is that New Zealand can choose to be part of the solution — by closing our domestic ivory and rhino horn market for good.
Together our global collective efforts can and will put an end to the cruel ivory and rhino horn trade. New Zealand can standby the international commitments it has made and “do its bit” to help save elephants and rhinos from extinction.Here's what to do
This letter, to the New Zealand Minister of Conservation, Hon Eugenie Sage, asks for a complete ban of the domestic ivory and rhino horn trade in New Zealand.

Your message will go straight to the New Zealand Conservation Minister asking that New Zealand stop allowing the trade of ivory and rhino horn in our country: Yes, New Zealand has an unregulated ivory trade. Yes, illegally imported ivory makes its way into the NZ domestic market. But we can make a difference and stop these deaths.

How it works
At each asset which yuo would like to track we install a Device Tracking (DT) terminal. This terminal defines object coordinates via GPS and transfer the information to Device Management Center (DMC) which further process the information and generate different reports for our customers. The DT can be installed on moving assets, including (but not limited): cars, trucks, containers, pallets, and sea vans. Also DT can be installed on remote fixed objects or assets like oil field platforms, pipelines, hyrdo power stations, and utility equipments.
Tracking Devices are GPS and GPRS Terminals which are able to define asset’s coordinates via GPS and transfer them to the Device Management Center via GPRS network. The terminal has additional Digital Inputs/Outputs which lets us control and monitor other objects or parameters within the asset been tracked. It has a NEMA IP 67 case, back up battery option and integrated Flash memory to store logs for up to 120 days in case of lost connectivity or roaming issues. It has a USB port for logs output and device configuration.
Device Management Center
DMC is the brain of the solution. This is where we collect information from remote Tracking Devices, further process the information, generate different reports and make these information available to our customers via HTML, XML, CSV or Email. Each customer might have different user accounts on the DMC with controlled access to section within their account. Mapping services can be costumized as per customer preference, by default DMC comes with Google Maps and OpenLayers mapps. The DMC can be deployed as Software as a Service (SaaS) or on your premises. With our SaaS model you gain full benefits of the service without investing on IT infrastructure or personnel. With this model, all you need is a standart PC with an internet browser and an internet line. For organizations with limited access to their sensitive data, installing DMC on your premises is your best option, while you will still get full support services from our side.

Sometimes misspelled as “Mayan Shrine” in Tears of the Kingdom, Mayam Shrine can only be accessed after completing its Shrine Quest. Specifically, adventurers must clear “The North Hyrule Sky Crystal” in order to unlock the Shrine and acquire its rewards. As you might expect, the quest involves retrieving a crystal and returning it to the Shrine’s location. However, this particular challenge of Mayam Shrine is much more challenging due to the distance you must carry the crystal across.
Where Is the Mayam Shrine Location in Tears of the Kingdom?
Mayam Shrine is located in the North Hyrule Sky Archipelago, Sky Islands floating in the Great Hyrule Forest Sky. You can easily access the area by using the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower. Your destination is the crooked x-shaped isle, where the Shrine sits on the west side. After starting “The North Hyrule Sky Crystal,” a beam of light will point you in the direction of the Shrine’s crystal.
How To Complete The North Hyrule Sky Crystal Shrine Quest in TotK
Not only is the green crystal of Mayam Shrine in TotK on a different island, but it’s also attached to a Flux Construct. Using the launcher device on the same island as the Shrine, propel Link toward the large floating arena south. There, you will face the Guardian of North Hyrule Sky Archipelago—Flux Construct I.
If you’ve faced a Flux Construct before, then taking down this massive mechanical monster should be manageable. However, if this is your first time, note that you should always focus on attacking the block that’s different from the rest. The block should have a green glow about it compared to the grayish stone blocks of the Construct’s body. Once defeated, you can retrieve the crystal.
For most, defeating Flux Construct I during “The North Hyrule Sky Crystal” will be the easier portion of the Shrine Quest. The harder main challenge is taking the crystal back to Mayam Shrine across the open sky. Fortunately, you have all the materials you need on the north side of the Construct’s island. The area will provide you with a platform and plenty of Rockets to propel you back to the Shrine.
Nonetheless, figuring out the most effective way to assemble a decent floating vehicle back to Mayam Shrine in TotK is easier said than done. We recommend using any spare Fans or Steering Sticks you have in your inventory to make the vehicle more “steerable.” If your device doesn’t make it to your destination, you can always glide to the isle first. Once Link arrives, use his Ultrahand to pull over the vehicle or the crystal onto solid ground.
Finally, take the crystal to Mayam Shrine in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom to complete “The North Hyrule Sky Crystal.” Open the Shrine to access Rauru’s Blessing, where you’ll find a Treasure Chest with a Magic Rod. At the end of the area, you’ll receive a Light of Blessing for your effort. If you’d like a video walkthrough of this Shrine guide, consider watching ZaFrostPet’s gameplay:

Five Rockford men are facing charges related to 45 burglaries in northern Illinois. Belvidere police believe they're responsible for car break-ins at Wal-Mart and the Chrysler plant in Belvidere over the past month.
"Some of the employees would find their cars' windows had been smashed - suspects had gained entry to the interior of the vehicle and taken items of value," said Belvidere Police Chief Jan Noble.
The burglars were caught on tape by surveillance cameras in the businesses' parking lots.
"The surveillance cameras the businesses deployed were instrumental in helping our detectives gain a suspect vehicle. Once that suspect vehicle was detained we had a make, model and year description of the unit," Noble said.
A police officer spotted a vehicle that matched their description and arrested everyone inside Monday. The arrests led to the recovery of nearly 100 stolen items. Police say the victims had left their valuables in plain view in their cars.
"If they saw a purse, a wallet a cell phone or any item of value that was the car that got smashed into."
While the investigation continues, police suggest we hide our possessions in our cars to avoid becoming a target.
Belvidere police are working with Rockford detectives to figure out if the young men could be responsible for burglaries in Rockford.
Additional suspects were taken into custody on Tuesday and may face new charges.


text: This is a card I made for this week's challenge over on the Hanna Stamps forum at Splitcoast Stampers - the challenge for this week is to use chipboard on your card. I love chipboard - I use it a lot in my scrapping - but I can't remember the last time I used it on a card - what a fun challenge!! I have quite the stash of chipboard - so I was happy to go digging thru it to see what I could find! The letters on the card are from a pre-cut set of chipboard letters by We R Memory Keepers - I inked the edges of them a bit. The photo corner is also a pre-cut chipboard piece - from a Basic Grey set - I painted it with white acrylic paint and inked the edges of it with a Chestnut Roan Cat's Eye Fluid Chalk Ink Pad. Once it was all dry - I stamped the word "Celebrate" on to the photo corner. The main Hanna image on the card is from the recently released "Patriotic Hanna" mini-set - isn't she a beauty? I love her - she reminds me of the Statue of Liberty or Betsy Ross. The background paper on the card is from the new Die Cuts with a View Summer Stack available at JoAnn's - wow - what beautiful paper in this new stack! I pieced the background of this card together with 2 different patterned papers from the stack and then machine stitched at the seams. What a fun challenge!! Come on over and play with us - dig into that stash of chipboard or make your own from those backs on paper pads or old cereal boxes - here's the link....http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=350078 - thanks so much for stopping by!

Canyon Creek Fish Hatchery webpage
|Bar Charts by Season by Month|
About Canyon Creek Fish Hatchery
Canyon Creek, an outstanding high elevation riparian community just under the Mogollon Rim, is a very popular fishing and birding destination. Canyon Creek Hatchery is one of Arizona’s five fish hatcheries and is built at the headwaters that feed into Canyon Creek. In 2000, a large wildfire swept through much of the country surrounding the hatchery, destroying many large trees. After the fire, elk, deer, and other wildlife species moved into the area to take advantage of the lush growth that resulted from the burn.
Wildlife to Watch: Canyon Creek is an excellent place to view elk, mule deer, turkey, waterfowl, trout, and a wide range of riparian birds, especially during the spring migration. You may see black-chinned, broad-tailed, and rufous hummingbirds, Mexican spotted owl, northern goshawk, red-naped sapsucker, acorn woodpecker, western bluebird, belted kingfisher, and American dipper. The cottonwood and willow stands along the drainage attract many nesting birds including common black and zone-tailed hawks, Cassin’s kingbird, black phoebe, American robin, Virginia’s and MacGillivray’s warblers, black-headed grosbeak, and Brewer’s blackbird. Elk, mule deer, Merriam’s turkey, and Abert’s squirrel can be seen year round; there is a possibility of seeing black bear in summer. In winter and spring, bald eagles may forage at the hatchery show pond. It is not uncommon to see 5-6 eagles at one time. Canyon Creek is home to rainbow and brown trout, and many of the small fish that can be seen from the shore are speckled dace, one of Arizona’s native fish species. Greater short-horned lizards and plateau lizards are common sights on the rocks and in the woodlands surrounding the hatchery and creek. Hikers are likely to see terrestrial garter snakes, canyon treefrogs, or Arizona toads on any warm weather walk along the creek.
Special Tips: The access road is a winding dirt road that can be closed to access during wet or snowy conditions. This road is best traveled with high clearance vehicles.
Other Activities: No formal trails but wildlife can be viewed by walking the forested area along the creek. There is a self-guided tour of the hatchery work areas; hiking routes at the hatchery are paved but grades are steep.

Syrian warplanes and artillery hit targets near Damascus airport following a bloody day of attacks in the capital that killed dozens and struck deep into President Assad’s seat of power.
There were no immediate reports of casualties from yesterday’s shelling, which targeted the towns of Beit Sahm and Shebaa.
Clashes in rebel strongholds of Daraya and Moadamiyeh were reported by the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Co-ordination Committees.
Recent rebel advances in the Damascus suburbs, combined with bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks, mark the most sustained challenge of the civil war for control of Bashar Assad’s powerbase.
Syrian state media said a car bombing on Thursday in the heart of Damascus was a suicide attack that killed 53 civilians and wounded more than 200, including children. Anti-regime activists put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest Damascus bombing of the revolt.
The main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, condemned the attack without accusing any specific group of carrying it out. It did, however, suggest that the regime allowed foreign terror groups to operate in Syria.
“The terrorist Assad regime bears the most responsibility for all the crimes that happen in the homeland because it has opened the doors to those with different agendas to enter Syria and harm its stability so it can hide behind this and use it as an excuse to justify its crimes,” the group said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but suspicion is likely to fall on one of the most extreme of Syria’s myriad rebel factions, Jabhat al-Nusra, which is linked to al-Qaida. The group has claimed similar previous bombings against regime targets.
The Syrian National Coalition said it would welcome US and Russian mediation to negotiate a peace deal to end the country’s civil war but insisted it would not allow Mr Assad or members of his security services to participate in the talks.

This is mainly to see how people respond to my writing style, the story isnt important for the moment since well… i havent wrote enough for there to be much a story.
The main character is Jarvis. It isnt mentioned in the story as of yet due to it being writen 1st person… Ill have to change somewhere to fit his name in i guess.
Jarvis himself is arrogant, selfcentered and well… cruel. he takes pleasure in the pain of others, and believes everyone to be beneth him. I thought it’d be intresting for the main char to be the bad guy.
There will be another main character, who will also be wrote 1st person, he’ll view thing differently from Jarvis. so discriptions of places will differ between them. He’ll be the “good” to counter point the “bad”.
when ever both of these main characters are in the same area, so to speak, the story will be wrote 3rd person.
Anyway, My questions to anyone who reads this are:
What does Jarvis look like? His hair is long and black. but im undecided what his face looks like, hansome? ugly? scars? is he tall, short? I know people get an image of someone in their head when they read, so what was yours?
Is jarvis a noble, born to a wealthy common family, or just acting better than others?
there isnt really any gore, or much cruelty… as yet. I could see easily offended people not liking this though, they’d have to be very easily offended from my point of view though… but still, id rather warn than get abuse
er, there is swearing, i dont think thats allowed on the other boards, wasnt sure it’d matter on a media board? sorry in advance if it does.
Journals of Jarvis.
Who are they to lecture me? I who have done so much for them? I made them what they are and now they shun me? Pathetic fools with small dreams and small minds. They cannot see the bigger picture.
The lanterns flickered, casting their warm glow across the dingy taproom, the insistent chatter of maybe twenty patrons insisted on contaminating my ears. No matter how hard I try their pathetic voices will not be drowned out. No matter how much I drink I can’t seem to find peace.
Jace sat across from me, his face barely visible in the dim light of the dark corner we occupied. “Shit. These bastards have no idea what’s coming”, a cruel smile twisting his hansom features. “Not long now hey?”
Sighing inwardly I leaned back in my chair glancing around the room at the other patrons of the inn, a group over in front of the fire pit played cards, while over near the door a dozen off duty constables where taking their ease. “No… they have no idea. I don’t believe it matters, its over for them anyway.” I dragged my hand down across my face, the drink was getting to me and I was beginning to feel tired. “We should leave, we’ve saw what we needed to see… and those card players look agitated, id rather not have to spill their blood should they start a brawl, not yet at least.” I stood up, my soft leather body armour creaking slightly with my movements. I brushed my long black hair out of my face and turned towards to door.
Smoke, the stench of burning flesh. All that’s left of this once fine village and its oh so important inhabitants is ashes. I walked forwards into the village stepping over the body of a child, little more than 4 years old at a guess, her mother lying on the dirt alongside her, arms wrapped protectively around her child in a vain attempt to protect her before the swords plunged into their flesh.
A man lunged out of the shadows of an ally way sword in hand he charged at me, a thin red line appeared across his throat… he stumbled and blinked in surprise, slowly falling to his knees and then face forwards into the dirt. Blood pooled at my feet… staining my riding boots no doubt, how I hate this scum. I sheathed my blade, long and slightly curved using it had become second nature, instinct.
I turned at the sound of a horse “Ho sir, I see one of ‘em survived, he gave you no trouble I ‘ope?” Sergeant Brigan, an uncouth fool, unshaven and unwashed. His smell should have been enough to clear this town out.
”No, no trouble at all,” I gave him a scathing glace “Send out riders, search the countryside, we don’t want any of our rabbits escaping to bring back help before we’re done.”
”Consider it done sire, if you don’t mind me askin’ how come we had to keep some of the rabbits alive?” he look on edge, he knows better than to question me… he’s seen what happens to those who do. The men have a right to know my intentions I guess. “They’re alive, my loyal and devoted sergeant, because I intent to use them to leave a message to any who would speak against us.” I walk away from him, I don’t deign to give him as much as a backwards glance. Ah, the town centre and my little rabbits are here waiting. Convenient, I could get used to this. “Quiet. Can any of you remember a message?” out of the 40-50 people in the square maybe 10-15 raised their hands; I picked one out at random. “You, boy, here. You can remember my message for when the soldiers arrive cant you?” yes yes, of course you can. Your life may depend on it. Tell them this is an example of what happens to those who oppose us, they’ll do well to keep out of my way.” How terrified he looks… shaking, ash covering his face, lines cleansed of the dirt by his tears, as he no doubt watched his loved ones die. The next hour was filled with the sounds of screams, beautiful screams.
We rode out afterwards; leaving the poor fool who still lived tied to a post amidst the bodies of his once friends.

A lottery is a process used to allocate a prize or reward by random chance. It is often used when resources are limited and demand is high. For example, the process could be used to select kindergarten admissions at a reputable school, or to fill vacancies in a subsidized housing block. Similarly, the process could be used to select members of a sports team or participants in a scientific research project.
In the case of financial lotteries, players pay a small amount to participate in a drawing that offers prizes of various amounts based on the numbers they choose. Some of the money is used to cover costs, and a percentage goes to the organizer or sponsor. The rest is available to the winners. The prize amounts can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of millions of dollars. Many countries have legalized and run state-run lotteries. Others, however, have banned them or restricted their availability.
Lotteries can be addictive, despite their low odds of winning. They can also cause significant problems for those who play them regularly. The average lottery player spends one percent of his or her annual income on tickets, which can be far higher for those who are poor. In addition, lottery sales are highly responsive to economic fluctuations; they increase as incomes decline and unemployment rise. The sales of lottery products are also disproportionately concentrated in neighborhoods that are disadvantaged by race or poverty rates.
While some people see a lottery as an opportunity to reduce the risks of monetary loss, for others it is merely a form of entertainment. In a scenario like this, the disutility of losing money may be outweighed by the utility of the entertainment value, and purchasing a lottery ticket would be a rational choice.
Many modern lotteries offer a choice to pick numbers randomly. This option is known as “Pick Three” or, in Canada, “Pick Four.” The numbers can be picked in any order, and the winnings will depend on whether your numbers match the ones that are drawn.
If you are a lottery fan, you can find the latest lottery results online for all your favorite games. This website is updated frequently and contains lots of useful information about each lottery. It also has a comprehensive FAQ page. This section answers all of the most common questions.
The word lottery comes from the Dutch word, meaning ‘drawing of lots’. The practice was first popularized in Europe during the Roman Empire, where it was used as a party game during Saturnalia festivities and to award fancy items such as dinnerware. In later times, it was also used to distribute talismans for good luck and as a method of divining God’s will. In some cases, a lottery was organized to raise funds for a public service. The ancient Greeks also used the lottery to assign military posts. The practice of drawing lots to assign jobs or offices was widespread throughout the world until the nineteenth century, when it began to be replaced by more fair methods of selection.

Where Does Biohazardous Waste Go?
If you have spent any time in a hospital or doctor’s office, you are probably familiar with the term biohazardous waste and the bright red bags silently signaling: Handle with care. But what exactly is biohazardous waste? Where does hazardous waste go once it is collected? What are risks and consequences associated with improper biohazardous waste disposal?
Understanding Biohazardous Waste
Biohazardous waste is defined as any biological waste that contains potentially infectious waste and does not only occur in hospitals and doctors’ offices. Hazardous waste can be found anywhere that human blood, fluids, tissues, or byproducts are present – the scene of a violent crime, industrial accident, suicide, or trauma. Examples of biohazardous waste include:
- Human body fluids. Amniotic fluid, saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, pleural fluid.
- Microbiological wastes. Specimen cultures, discarded live viruses, blood that contains infectious pathogens, disposable culture dishes, and devices used to transfer cultures.
- Human blood products. Plasma, blood, and other body fluids or tissues containing blood.
- Pathological waste. Human organs, tissues, and body parts.
- Animal waste. Animal carcasses and body parts.
- Sharps waste. Scalpels, needles, glass slides, glass pipettes, and broken glass that have all been contaminated with potentially infectious material.
Where Does Hazardous Waste Go?
The United States Congress enacted the Medical Waste Tracking Act in 1988 to develop studies assessing and analyzing medical waste disposal. One study during the MWTA concluded that sharps wastes constituted the largest volume of medical wastes followed by blood and body fluids.
Biohazardous waste must be collected by a licensed biohazardous waste hauler. Biohazardous waste disposal is closely monitored and regulated in most states. Common disposal methods include:
- Incineration: According to the EPA, 90% of biohazardous waste is incinerated. Incineration can occur either on-site or off-site by licensed contractors that specialize in handling infectious materials. Incineration has the benefit of reducing waste volume, sterilizing, and eliminating the need for pre-processing the waste before treatment and has been found to be effective in neutralizing potentially infectious agents. Incinerator waste is disposed of in a sanitary landfill.
- Autoclaves: Autoclaving, or steam sterilization, is the most dependable procedure for the destruction of all forms of microbial life. Much of the waste treated by autoclaving and shredding ends up at the sanitary landfill.
- Other methods: Mechanical/chemical disinfection, microwave treatments, and irradiation.
Improper Biohazard Waste Disposal
One should never attempt to dispose of biohazardous waste. Improper disposal can be life threatening. In addition, noncompliance can result in strict penalties for each offense of improper disposal of biohazardous waste with significant financial ramifications.
In the case of a homicide, suicide, or serious accident where significant blood has been spilled, a bioremediation company can help clean up the scene, dispose of the waste, and thoroughly sanitize the area. Since 1996, Aftermath has provided professional and compassionate services to families dealing with the death of a loved one due to suicide, homicide, or industrial accidents and has handled a wide range of situations including blood cleanup and communicable disease sanitation.

As regular readers know, I’m working on my first book right now. The book is about the power of small improvements in a world obsessed with overnight success.
For the most part, the book will include the best ideas from my weekly articles plus dozens of additional research studies and topics that I haven’t mentioned yet. I will also mix in my usual dose of practical ideas, interesting stories, and real world experiences. I have about 40,000 words written right now. My hope is that it will be the best work I’ve created thus far.
So what’s the problem?
I am really struggling to tame this beast and make progress. I haven’t written consistently on the book for weeks and lately it feels like the project is always in the same place today as it was 10 days ago.
Although I write about habits and consistency every week, I have said many times that I am no expert. Like everyone else, I'm just learning as I go. In this article, I’m going to share a few of the issues I’m struggling with and discuss just how hard it is to take a big project from idea to execution.
Big Project Syndrome
Over time, I have learned how to become better at maintaining habits and reaching short-term goals.
- I publish a new article every Monday and Thursday. I have missed exactly one time since starting on November 12, 2012.
- It is the same in the gym. I typically lift every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And because of that consistency I’m squatting 100 pounds more this year than I was last year.
- And so on…
Meanwhile, I seem to be very bad at managing larger, long-term projects.
For example, writing a book.
I know that I am capable of writing a book. As I mentioned in my article about systems vs. goals, I published over 120,000 words last year simply by writing two articles per week. So it’s not a question of ability.
I also know that I have many readers who want to read the book. I get emails from kind folks each week who say they are looking forward to buying the book when it’s released. (Thank you for the support!) So it’s not a question of audience size or potential sales.
And because I already write about these topics each week, I already know much of the material that should go into the book.
What could be more frustrating than having the knowledge to create a product, knowing how to create it, having the ability to create it, and having a group of people who want it … and then not doing anything about it? What kind of mental block prevents someone from taking consistent action on the things they are skilled enough to accomplish?
Right now, I’m calling it “Big Project Syndrome.” It’s simply an execution issue. But, of course, execution isn’t always simple.
What Holds Us Back?
I realize that I’m not facing a unique problem. Pretty much every entrepreneur I know has battled this feeling before…
You have an idea. You have a skill set. You’re pretty sure that you can make it happen. And yet, for some weird reason, you don’t execute on the project. It’s incredibly frustrating.
What is it that holds us back from doing what we are capable of?
For me, it seems to be two things.
- Wanting my work to be perfect, which causes me to spend more time planning, outlining, and researching, rather than actually writing.
- Focusing on how big the project is and how much needs to be done rather than working on one small piece each day.
There’s a bit of irony in all of this.
I write about habits every week and tell people all of the time: “An imperfect start can always be improved, but obsessing over a perfect plan will never take you anywhere on its own.” (More on that here.)
But when it’s my project — when it’s my baby — I want it to be incredible. I’m trying to set a high standard in the work that I do and the ideas that I share. And that is a difficult balance to maintain because sometimes I end up putting the quest to be perfect before the importance of being done.
That said, this is the very reason that I try to offer a blend of scientific research and real-world experiences in my articles. You can have the greatest research and theories in the world, but if you don’t understand the struggle that comes with implementing those ideas, then you’ll never see the full picture.
Big Projects and Small Starts
In many ways, big projects are an exercise in getting started over and over. Each day, you wake up and have to find a way to work on something big, but in a small way and without letting the overall scope of the project overwhelm you.
That can be a tough task and it’s proving to be a struggle for me.
I want to make this happen and I believe that I can. But I have to remind myself that an imperfect project that is complete is always better than a perfect project that is never finished.

If writing a good book is important to you, then I am begging you to drop everything and find a critique group now. I have found some great critique groups and writing partners through the years and there is no way I would have finished my book, much less gotten a contract, without them. Before I give you places to find a critique group, I want to tell you what I think makes a GOOD one.
First of all, they should be able to meet on a regular basis. The Middle Grade Mafia meets twice a month at a local cafe, but I’ve been a part of others that only met once a month. You can meet in person, or online, so don’t be concerned if your group isn’t in the same neck of the woods, but you do want people who have the time to meet regularly.
Secondly, they should take writing seriously. When you have something to read, they should be able to listen, and give constructive feedback. By constructive, I mean honest, no BS, even when it hurts, let’s make this shine, analysis. And when one of you is ready to submit, everyone in the group should take the time to really go through your sub with a fine-toothed comb. That may sound like a given, but keep in mind that these people will probably have read your manuscript 27 billion times by the time you’re ready to send it out, and you want people who will happily read it 27 billion and 1 times.
Third, a good critique group has a good leader. My current critique group is led by the awesome Debbie D’Aurelio, and she does a great job of organizing us all. She keeps us on track, sends out reminders, brings contests and book signings to our attention, etc. and in the very rare case that we add someone who doesn’t work out, well, she has to be the bad guy and let them know.
So, where do you find critique partners?
1. Tell the people in your life that you want to form a critique group. That’s how I found my first one – the wife of a friend heard I liked to write, then she invited a client, and voila – my first group. That was many years ago and I now count these folks among my dearest friends. We all wrote different things, but we loved getting together and reading what each other had done. Because I didn’t know them at first, it was terrifying, but it also made me do my very best. Ask around, you might be surprised by how many people in your church, neighborhood, etc. also want to write.
2. Professional associations are a great place to look. I became a member of SCBWI and added my name to the list of people looking for a critique groups. Several months passed before I got an email, but it did eventually come. Now I’m in a fabulous critique group with great people I love hanging out with! Write romances? The RWA has a critique partner match up, too. Science Fiction or Fantasy – then you’ll want to try the SFWA!
3. Don’t have a lot of time in your schedule to meet, or live too far away from the closest group? Try an online group instead. Below are just a few, but a Google search will reveal dozens more.
Ladies Who Critique – “Ladies Who Critique is a critique partner matching site for writers of all levels – published, unpublished, aspiring, hobbyists, even closet writers or complete newbies.”
Agent Query Connect – Agent Query is a great resource and has a forum just for people looking for critique partners.
Sub It Club – This is a support group for writers and illustrators who are thinking about submitting their work. Writers of any genre are welcome to join the private Facebook group. You can also post and ask if anyone is looking for a critique partner, etc.
There are several critique groups on Google Plus as well.
So, no excuses! Tell everyone you know that you want to start one, join an association, or go online, but whatever you do, get involved in a critique group soon. It’s one of the fastest ways to improve your writing. Plus, you’ll make some awesome friends!

With the market being saturated by the influx of products which are of low in quality when choosing a silver anklet, it is important to consider the genuineness of the material which is used to make the item. The silver market is very prone to frauds and this means when going for any product made of silver you have to do extensive market research to identify shops which deal with genuine product as well as understanding the basic characteristics of silver. Online shops are seen as the best options because most of them buy directly from the manufactures hence guaranteed quality of their products.

Once upon a time I was into railway modelling. I never went to, but enjoyed reading about, the modular meetings where fans got together to set up a mega layout that none of them could have built individually. It was all based on the FREMO standard. https://www.fremo-net.eu/en/modular-systems/h0-scale/h0-europe/h0-europe-nem/
Obvisously, Lego has already created the connection standard for the Modular range, so my question is, would anyone be interested in getting together to create large modular layouts? With only limited numbers of official buildings, this would obviously rely on MOCs to create a large city. And if it worked, would it be welcome at the various Lego shows around tge world?

*) Coronavirus has infected over 60 million people globally The number of coronavirus cases has surpassed the grim milestone of 60 million cases worldwide. Covid-19 has killed more than 1.4 million people across the world since the outbreak of the pandemic in January. The United States is the worst affected country in terms of caseload, followed by India and Brazil. *) UN chief calls for de-escalation of tensions in Tigray UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed concern over the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region, calling for a de-escalation of tensions. The appeal comes as an Ethiopian human rights organisation accused a Tigrayan Youth Group of killing as many as 600 civilians earlier this month. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has given the Tigray People's Liberation Front until Wednesday night to surrender. *) Biden presents security and foreign policy team US President-elect Joe Biden has formally introduced the first round of nominations for his new cabinet. His picks include secretary of state, national security advisor, homeland security secretary, intelligence chief, UN ambassador and climate change envoy. This all comes after US President Donald Trump suffered further setbacks in his efforts to overturn the results of the election with claims of fraud. *) Hundreds protest clearance of migrant camp by police In France, hundreds have demonstrated in Paris against violent treatment of migrants at a camp by police. They were filmed overturning tents, using tear gas to disperse crowds and hitting people with riot shields. France's Interior Ministry has also launched an investigation into clashes that broke out on Monday after police cleared the migrant camp. And finally… *) Scores of pilot whales dead in New Zealand stranding Almost 100 pilot whales have died in a mass stranding on New Zealand's remote Chatham Islands. At least 69 whales had already died by the time wildlife officers reached the beach. Over two dozen pilot whales were euthanised. The causes of mass stranding remain unknown despite scientists studying the phenomenon for decades.

Ultrasound measurements of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis : methodological and clinical studies
Abstract: Ultrasound measurements of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis have been evaluated as an additional parameter in risk evaluation of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The overall aim of this thesis was to increase knowledge regarding ultrasound measurements of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. This included methodological studies of the reproducibility in commonly applied measurements and evaluation of subclinical carotid atherosclerotic progression. All studies within this thesis are based on material from the population based, randomized control trial VIPVIZA. Enrolled from a routine CVD prevention programme, all participants had an additional carotid ultrasound examination including measurements of carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque detection. The group randomised to the intervention received a pictorial presentation which illustrating their individually measured subclinical atherosclerotic burden. At the 3-year follow-up the same measurements were repeated.Variability, defined by variation of coefficient (CV) of measurements, of plaque risk markers including echogenicity and plaque area were evaluated throughout the cardiac cycle. Additionally, the inter-observer reproducibility of plaque detection was evaluated, and the intervention effect on the 3-year cIMT and plaque progression was compared between intervention (n: 1575) and control group (n: 1579). Lastly, association of baseline carotid wall echogenicity and the 3-year progression of cIMT was evaluated. Small and echolucent plaques had higher CV in measurements of area and echogenicity, respectively. Cardiac cycle variations caused reclassification of up to one in four of the analysed plaques. Small carotid plaques contributed to decreased inter-sonographer reproducibility as compared to large plaques. In the 3-year follow-up the intervention group showed decreased progression of cIMT in the left carotid compared to the control group. No difference was found for in plaque related variables. The echogenicity of the carotid wall associated with the progression of cIMT over the 3-year follow-up period, where echolucent carotid wall had a higher rate of progression bilaterally.Variability of plaque risk markers and the reproducibility of plaque detection should be considered in analysis of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis by ultrasound. Progression of left cIMT was decreased by the intervention, which indicates that increased preventive actions were taken by the intervention group. The echogenicity of the carotid wall may contribute new insights regarding identification of progressive atherosclerotic diseases.
