Hyper aims to re-imagine the events of Half-Life 2 with locations new and old.
Hi. I'm writing this article to let you all know that as of a couple months ago, I am no longer working on this mod. I have just grown tired of developing beta-centric content, and also realized that I can never realistically complete this mod or even design the levels in a fun and engaging way. So, I'm doing the classic beta mod thing of releasing the build so you can all see what I actually had made, and maybe make use of some assets yourself. (If you do that, please ask first as a few things are made by other people and I can't speak for them.)
I'm transferring ownership of the mod page to C.Marti, who previously did some writing for the mod late last year, and after learning of me not wanting to work on it, decided he wanted to continue it as his own project. Anything you see on the page from any point after this article isn't by me.
You'll need to copy your Valve folder from your installation of HL1 to the root folder of the extracted zip, by the hyper exe file. You can hit 'new game' and go through a couple maps that actually had effort put into them that connect to each other, but don't expect much.
Also, just note that most maps dated before 2019 were not designed with overbrightening in mind, so you'll probably want to disable it while checking them out by doing gl_overbright 0 in the console. The default setting for the newer maps is gl_overbright 2.

Oriana proceeded directly from Kelly’s house to the community library. Her father had been in a better mood this morning and when Paul came around to pick her up in the morning he seemed relieved that she was with him. Paul was well liked by parents across the neighbourhood, Oriana mused that this was because while most boys were of the rough and tumble variety, Paul was a reserved and generous boy who had a reputation unblemished by teenage scandals. Oriana had speculated that her father secretly wished that she would date him instead of merely friend him, yet for all of Paul’s positive traits, there was something plain about him. It was splendid of him to care so much about the poor, yet a man who cares too much for the poor runs the risk of being poor himself, or so Oriana had reasoned, and while she agreed with her reasoning, she felt agonisingly aggrieved with herself to judge him so harshly. Indeed, sometimes in her low times she speculated if perhaps she was not unwittingly making the same mistakes her mother made.
However, there was now a new man in her life; Kent, and this man was in some ways similar to Paul. He was reserved, gentle, and exuded no malice at all in his manners, just like Paul. However, while Paul had a naïve confidence in the good nature of his fellow man, Kent was a troubled man who seemed suspicious and wary of everyone he encountered. Justifiably so since these Tyranni have appeared on the scene, but nonetheless, whereas Paul was naturally inclined to believe whatever someone might tell him, Kent was the opposite. Kent had in some ways the character of a bad dinner guest: constantly questioning and cross-examining others. He might even come across as arrogant to the eyes of someone who doesn’t know him well enough, but Oriana had by this time concluded that he was not in fact arrogant, but precocious and confident in his intellectual abilities. Perhaps too confident in them, although she didn’t feel ready as yet to make that judgement of Kent. Continue reading “The Monk – Part 29”
Oriana arrived back the main chamber to find Paul on the embankment and standing upright. Kelly was busy gesticulating flamboyantly. Realising that Kelly was clearly trying to keep Suvarin distracted for her still Oriana quickly rushed forward to inspect Paul’s knee.
“You can stand on it now?”
Paul explained that Suvarin had given him some medication for the pain and that it was fine to stand on it, just not to carry anything or run for a few days at least.
“You must be some kind of physiotherapist!” exclaimed Oriana.
Suvarin looked at her with an expression of puzzlement on her face, “Has Kent told you about the Salvati?”
“Only that you’re one of the five orders of the Aeshir,” then before she could stop herself, “and that you’re forbidden to carry weapons or do anyone any harm.”
“Oh! Yes, that is true. We are forbidden to carry weapons, but to say that we can’t do anyone any harm is another matter. There are strict rules regarding such matters, yes. It is odd that Kent should tell you that much about us but not about other aspects; such as our primary goals and values.”
“Yes, it is, so, if the Druids are the nerdy, preachy types of your religion, what are the Salvati?” Continue reading “The Monk – Part 13”

Back in the sky city of Pearl, the Aeron chief guild master Kaylim was interrogating the Kiron guild master Sybil.
“What do you know of Kimberley’s plan?”
Sybil sighed heavily, “I know as much about that as you do: she intends to seal the rift.”
“What about those two freemen who helped her to escape?”
“I know nothing about them.”
“I have a witness who says that you cleared them both for entry into the parliament, and also brought them into the parliament chamber,” Kaylim raised his voice, “Why did you let them in if you didn’t know anything about them?”
“Because I hoped they would protect Kimberley when the time came, and they did.”
“You fool! I’m going to have to kill them now, as well as Kimberley. You have three deaths on your conscience now.”
“My conscience? You don’t need to kill any of them. That is your choice and your responsibility.” Continue reading “Space Fall – Part Seven”

Have Pet Questions? Get Answers from Experts Now.
HiCustomer Does she have any bare or bald spots anywhere, (check under her wings also) or is it just that she is losing more feathers than usual?
Any signs that she is plucking or picking at herself, and very important, any signs of any damaged and/or bleeding skin?
How many months old is she and how long have you had her?
Is this your first experience having a bird in your home?
Many things with our birds are diet related so please tell me all about her entire diet so I can also help you be sure she is getting what she needs and that none of this is nutritional related.
Okay, thanks for all the good information. It's very helpful. My first thought that was that she may only be having her first true adult molt and that can seem excessive due to the number of dropped feathers. But I think there is something more serious going on with her. Realizing that I cannot diagnose for you from long distance, and it would be unethical of me to try, I can give you some ideas and tell you what you need to do. First off is the diet issue. She is not eating as she should. Yes, for sure, she needs lots of fresh fruits, fresh or steamed veggies, leafy greens and many other "people" food items. Also make sure that what she has is truly a cuttle bone and not just a mineral block of some kind. Mineral blocks are okay but she needs a true cuttle bone also. It is an important source of calcium for both but if you definitely have a female, it may literally be life or death for her in the future. She will not need a male bird around to decide to lay eggs at some point. If and when she does, she will be putting a real strain on her calcium reserves to make firm shells for the eggs. If she runs low, the shells will be too soft for her to pass, she will get egg bound and that will be a life threatening emergency. Much better to prevent that than to have to deal with it. The ideal diet will not be more than about 30% seeds and seed products. She needs a seed mix that does not have sunflower seeds in it and she needs a good brand of pellet mixed in. She needs the other foods everyday, in a separate bowl. Expect her to be resistant for awhile, to any diet changes and additions and make the changes gradually. We cannot "starve" a bird into eating healthy foods. But you must be consistent and persistent in offering some of these choices everyday. One thing that will help is to eat with her. They are very flock oriented, you are not her flock and eating is a flock activity. Here is an article that will give more help with this issue. Click here: Introducing New Foods to Picky Pet Birds Sunflower seeds and millet are two of the items that are most high in fat and should be occasional treats only, not a high percentage of the regular diet. Rule of thumb with them is no more than 5 or 6 sunflower seeds per day, per bird and no more than one half sprig of millet, per week, per bird. A diet too high in fat leads to many health problems for any bird or parrot and for Budgies and Parakeets in particular, they are at risk of fatty liver disease, (Hepatic Lipidosis), fatty tumors and obesity. Any one of which will drastically shorten her life span and dramatically increase your avian vet bills. I'll be giving you some links below that will help you in greater detail with the diet, the consequences of poor diet and other issues. Some of those other issues will be safety precautions around the home as respects all the many toxins we all have and use but must never have anywhere near a bird. I'm covering that because, getting back to the original problem, one possible cause, if this feather loss may be coming from excessive preening and plucking, you may have been unknowingly exposing her to one or more of these toxic products. Anything that gets on her feathers that doesn't belong, will be vigorously preened off and worse, will end up in her system. If that is happening, she is slowly being poisoned. There are many and you may want to bookmark,and/or print out these sites for future reference. But just to mention a few of the things we hear most about causing bird deaths, are any kind of air freshener at all, no matter the type. Sprays, gels, plug ins and so on. Non stick cookware. Any product that sprays into the air. Cigarette smoke or nicotine from the unwashed hands of a smoker, and nearly every commercial cleaning product on the market is toxic to birds. The health related problems that can cause these symptoms may be bacterial, fungal and/or a protoza based problem. When they start plucking, particularly under the wings, one of the first suspects is Giardia. It makes them so itchy and uncomfortable, it literally gets on their last nerve. They get cranky, out of sorts, do now want to be handled and are just miserable. Only a true Avian vet can diagnose this for you and prescribe the proper treatment. More than likely a test of a dropping sample under the microscope will give the diagnosis. Then a 10 day course of a proper oral antibiotic may clear it right up. Just don't waste your money or her time with any over the counter junk from a pet store. If they had anything that would work, you would not get it without a prescription and you would never foul her drinking water with it. About the only thing you can do for her at home will be supportive and hopefully give her a little relief from the itching. That is to put some 100% pure aloe juice, straight from a plant, into her warm bath water. Cut an arm from the plant, slit it open and mix the gooey center in the water. Don't let her have access to the plant or the rind. It's not toxic but it can cause some stomach upset for some birds. The links will also have some to hopefully help you locate a proper vet if you don't already know of one you can trust for their avian expertise and experience. You do not want a dog/cat vet unless they also come highly recommended for their avian knowledge. As for covering the cage, that's entirely up to you and your bird. She should have a night light in the room where she sleeps anyway because they are not at ease in total darkness and probably won't get enough sleep. If you feel there is any chance she is in any draft at night or if she is in a location where passing headlight may come through the room, or even the cat taking an evening stroll, it may be safer to have her covered. You don't want anything to cause a "night fright". If that happens, she can seriously injure herself, flailing around inside the cage. So, I leave that decision to your judgment. I hope all this will be helpful for you but if you have any more questions at all, just let me know. If want to do anything I can to help you have the happiest, healthiest little bird possible.

- Necturus maculosus louisianensis

Mudpuppies, which are called waterdogs in the southerly USA, are generally in between 8 and 13 inches long, though a minimum of one private expanded to over 17 inches long. Their bodies are grey or tones of brownish and discovered, which provides their scientific name.

Hatchlings are black and candy striped with yellow. Similar to many amphibians, their skin does not have ranges and is slimed. The mudpuppy appears the only type of salamander that pronounces, though the audio is much more a squeak than a bark.

Mudpuppy vs. Hellbender
The hellbender is one more water salamander, and like the axolotl, it’s not carefully pertaining to the mudpuppy. Undoubtedly, it’s the only participant of its genus, Cryptobranchus Several of its array overlaps that of the mudpuppy, and it’s discovered in the main and eastern components of the USA.

Female mudpuppies shield their eggs without any assistance from the male. Male hellbenders shield their eggs to a factor. They are not over consuming them. Hellbenders could attack if they’re dealt with, however, like mudpuppies, they are nonvenomous. Their conservation status is near threatened.

Throughout the day they conceal under rocks or branches that have actually come under the water or amongst plant life. Mudpuppies have actually been discovered in water that’s close to 100 feet deep.
Mudpuppies will certainly eat anything that they can take on, though their jaws are not versatile like the jaws of snakes. Their teeth exist to hold their target till the mudpuppy can gulp it down. These consist of crayfish, insects, insect eggs and larvae, fish and their eggs, snails, tiny shellfishes, spiders, worms, amphibians, and carrion.

Humans additionally accumulate them for research study, and some angler without thought eliminate them since they think they eat way too many eggs of video game fish. Though many mudpuppy populaces are not endangered, hazards consist of air pollution and silting of the bodies of water they reside in. Like numerous amphibians, their skin is delicate, and they can be upset by toxic substances discarded right into their water.
Mudpuppy Reproduction and Life Process
Mudpuppy reproduction is one more interesting aspect of them. Unlike hellbenders, fertilizing of eggs is interior within the female. Prior to that occurs, the mudpuppies have to surrender their singular life for some time and discover each various other.
These animals companion in the autumn. They unite in superficial water, and the males adhere to females right into concealed locations below a rock or a log.

I meant to write more last week, I really did. Time is just getting away from me! I have a bunch of stuff I want to talk about too, like my review of the Jawbone Up24 fitness tracker I got for my birthday, my latest Stitch Fix and the fact that I have not worked a muscle in like over a month and how mad I am at myself for it (again!).
But instead of diving into all of that on a Monday morning, I thought I’d hit some bulletpoints on what’s been going on over here.
- I started my day great. I fell up the stairs on the way in to work today. Yes, I said fell up. Love when I do that, it makes me feel very smart and coordinated. I was walking in from the parking lot and there’s a set of maybe 7 steps leading up to the entry of the building. I have one of those rolling computer bags (because my work laptop is gargantuan and weighs 30 lbs), so I have to lift it and carry it up the steps. This morning, I must have missed a step because I tripped and fell to my knees, the bag went rolling down the steps, my lunch bag went flying and the strap on my new purse (the one I got from my last Stitch Fix) broke and the contents of my purse went flying. OK, well, not all the contents of my purse, but some things fell out. Thankfully no one was around. Sheesh. Happy Monday!
- After stewing in the elevator about my new purse breaking, I knew I had to figure out a way to fix it, because I love that bag. I knew there had to be a piece down in the parking lot somewhere that had fallen off when I fell. So I went back downstairs to retrace my steps. (Work can wait, I need to fix my bag!!) Sure enough, I found the pieces, brought them back upstairs and put my purse back together. Oh happy day! I’m so proud of myself for my little DIY project.
- A storm is brewing here in Florida. It’s grossly hot out today, but the clouds are rolling in and they are bringing a frigid couple of days starting tomorrow. I can’t wait! Highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s. This makes me happy.
- Our weekend was a good one. Friday night we chilled out, Saturday we had a birthday party to go to in Tampa, so we spent a lot of time in the car, but we had a great time. Jillian really enjoyed playing with a bunch of kids close to her age, so it was super fun to watch her run around and have fun.
|They were playing Operation - love that game!|
Sunday we had lunch reservations at the Coral Reef restaurant at Epcot, which I’ll be writing up later this week. After that we did some shopping and Jillian picked out things for her Christmas list.
She wants the pink one.
And now it’s Monday again. It’s crazy how fast time flies!
Goals for this week: Start the workout train again, cook dinner at home at least three nights and take more walks.
How about you … What did you do this weekend? What are your goals for the week?

Another. After Adam Levine denied cheating on his pregnant wife Behati Prinslooa fifth woman accused the singer of sending her inappropriate messages.
During an interview with daily mail Wednesday, September 21, fitness model Ashley Russell claimed that Levin, 43, had contacted her on Instagram earlier this year. The Maroon 5 band member allegedly began interacting with Russell’s social media posts before he made direct contact.
“I checked every time I posted the story, which was every day, and he always looked at it,” Russell, 21, said. “Mostly he would love booty stories and would always respond with something to do with leg day or booty at the gym.”
The internet personality provided a series of screenshots from alleged conversations between her and Levin. In the messages, Levin apparently commented on Russell’s workout reports before she questioned their interaction.
“He said he found me on his Instagram Discover page because he is a ‘big fitness fan’ and I have a fitness account. I knew it was weird so I wanted to continue to see if it got worse,” she continued. “When I told him that he would be caught texting girls like me, he stopped texting me.”
According to Russell, the musician allegedly continued to watch her Instagram stories after their conversations ended, adding, “I think that’s the true meaning of disrespecting a woman. I feel really sad that he is married and doing such immature things.”
Levin made headlines earlier this week when Sumner Straw claimed to have cheated on 34-year-old Prinsloo. “I had an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model,” she revealed in a TikTok video on Monday, September 19. “At that time I was young, I was naive… I am very easy to manipulate.”
Stroh, 23, later issued a public apology to the model, saying: “I am fully aware that I am not a victim in this. I’m not the one who really suffers here. This is Behati and her children, and for that I am very, very sorry.
In response to Straw’s claims, Levine clarified that he did not cheat on his wife. “I have shown myopia by talking to anyone other than my wife in ANY flirtatious manner,” he wrote on Instagram Story on Tuesday, September 20. “I did not have an affair, however, I crossed the line in a regrettable period. of my life. In some cases, this has become inappropriate. I have addressed this and taken active steps to fix it with my family.”
The California native added: “My wife and my family are all I care about in this world. Being so naive and stupid as to risk the only thing that really matters to me was the biggest mistake I could ever make. I will never do it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through this and we will get through this together.”
Following the former Voice Following the coach’s statement, several more women said they had flirted with Levin on social media.
Prinsloo, for her part, did not directly address the scandal. After announcing her third pregnancy earlier this month, the Victoria’s Secret model was spotted next to her husband on Tuesday as they picked up their daughters Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4, from school.

A coalition of more than 60 organizations, including the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, says the 167% increase in minimum insurance for motor carriers would be a blow to the economy.
The OOIDA-led coalition sent a letter on Monday, June 28, to the House Rules Committee asking lawmakers to support an amendment that would remove an insurance increase from the House Freeways Bill. The Truck Insurance Coalition includes organizations from the trucking, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, materials and towing industries.
“Increasing minimum liability coverage would hurt all businesses transporting goods, not just long-haul trucking operations,” the Truck Insurance Coalition wrote. “As the diversity of our coalition illustrates, the impact would be felt in many sectors of the economy that have worked to help our country recover from the COVID-19 pandemic… This policy clearly has not its place in legislation designed to support economic recovery and foster growth.
The House Freeway Bill, or the INVEST in America Act, includes a measure that would increase minimum motor carrier liability insurance from $ 750,000 to $ 2 million.
Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., Is proposing an amendment that would remove the truck insurance increase from the bill.
Bost, who grew up in a family of truckers, also proposed the amendment during the House Transportation & Infrastructure markup hearing earlier this month. During the debate, he made passionate remarks on why the amendment was needed and called the increase a “punishment” for the country’s truck drivers.
“Over the past year, during the time of this pandemic, we have relied quite enough on workers driving trucks across the country,” Bost said. “These men and women continue their essential work of stocking store shelves and making sure food is on everyone’s table and (us getting) the supplies we needed while a lot of between us were trapped in our homes. Now, after praising these people for their great work, this legislation turns around and punishes them. “
Several other House Republicans voted in favor of the amendment during the 30-minute debate. Regardless, the committee mostly stuck to party lines, rejecting Bost’s amendment by a recorded vote of 38-30.
The Truck Insurance Coalition wants the rules committee to move the Bost amendment forward so that it can be debated in plenary.
“If the House allows this policy to stay in the freeways bill, it would put countless small businesses and family businesses at risk, as well as blue collar jobs,” the coalition wrote. “We therefore ask you to return Representative Bost’s amendment in order and allow all representatives to consider this matter on its own merits.”
The coalition notes that the current minimum insurance is adequate for over 99% of cases and that there is no evidence that the increased cost of insurance would have a positive effect on safety.
“There is no reliable research indicating that an increase of any amount would help reduce accident rates,” the coalition wrote.
The coalition suggests that the House should remove the insurance provision from the bill for it to be enacted. While the Democratic majority in the House included an increase in insurance in their bill, the bipartisan version of the Senate highway bill left out an increase in insurance.
“Notably, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transport passed its part of the highway bill with a wide bipartisan margin, and this bill did not include any changes to minimum insurance levels,” he said. writes the coalition. “In order to enable the House to pass a bill that could garner bipartisan support in the Senate and ultimately be enacted, we ask that Bost Amendment No.220 be passed so that the House can remove this damaging provision. of the INVEST. in America Act.
The Rules of Procedure Committee is due to meet on Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 June.

Aeronautics has signed a contract to supply two Dominator XP unmanned air systems to the armed forces of Mexico.
Based on Diamond Aircraft's twin-engined DA42, the Dominator XP has a flight endurance of 28h and is capable of carrying a 300kg (660lb) payload. The modified aircraft can be flown to an altitude of up to 30,000ft (9,150m) and has a top speed of 190kt (351km/h).
A first export sale of the type was made in mid-2011, shortly after Aeronautics had secured clearance from Israel's defence ministry. One Dominator XP is currently operated by CAE in Alma, Quebec, and is being used to support Project "Miskam", which is aimed at evaluating the use of UAS in civil airspace.
The reported new sale to Mexico follows a recent marketing effort to offer the converted aircraft with a variety of payloads. Aeronautics declines to comment on the matter.
As recently reported by Flightglobal, Aeronautics is currently evaluating the conversion of additional manned aircraft types for unmanned operations.

The Third Meeting of the ECPGR Wheat Working Group was held 15-17 May 2012 in Piešt'any, Slovakia, involving 23 WG members and 5 observers. The meeting was organized in collaboration with the Plant Production Research Centre (PPRC) Piešt'any. An inventory of precise genetic stock collections in Europe and their status of conservation was presented and an ad hoc group was created to carry forward the project. The status of the European Databases on Wheat, Secale and Triticale was presented. The list of descriptors used for the ECPGR Wheat Database (EWDB) was revised. The meeting discussed the relationship between EURISCO and the Central Crop Databases and was looking forward to the development of EURISCO as a reliable unique database that could and should serve all the current needs of the Working Groups. A full day was dedicated to the initiative for “A European Genebank Integrated System” (AEGIS). The Group agreed on criteria for the identification of Most Appropriate Accessions to be included in the European Collection and a detailed workplan was developed for Triticum and Aegilops. Regarding the AEGIS Quality Management System (AQUAS) the Group agreed to adopt the FAO Genebank Standards. A protocol for dormancy breaking, viability testing and multiplication of Aegilops and other wild cereals would be prepared. The last day of the meeting included a visit to the PPRC Genebank and a number of scientific and technical presentations.

Apple is introducing the latest update for the iPhone 15 Pro. They’ve added an exciting new feature in the iOS 17.2 beta 2 update, which lets users record spatial videos. This feature brings a whole new dimension to video recording on your iPhone.
To use this feature, you need to go to the Camera settings on your iPhone 15 Pro and turn on the option called ‘Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro’. This is found under the camera formats section. Once you activate this, you’ll see a new ‘Spatial’ option in your Camera app’s video mode.
The spatial videos you record will be in 1080p resolution, which means they’ll be very clear and detailed. They’re recorded at 30 frames per second, ensuring smooth playback.
However, this quality comes with a storage cost. Every minute of spatial video you record will take up about 130MB of space on your phone. So, if you’re planning to record a lot, you might need to keep an eye on your storage.
Now, what makes these spatial videos so special is how they’re meant to be experienced. Apple is planning to release a product called Vision Pro, an augmented and virtual reality headset, in early 2024.
Speaking of this technology, Apple isn’t the only one in the game. Companies like Meta with their Quest 3 headset and Samsung, which is rumored to unveil a mixed-reality headset next year, are also exploring this space.
The whole idea behind spatial videos is to capture moments in three dimensions. This means when you watch these videos later, especially on devices like the Vision Pro, it will feel like you’re reliving those moments with an incredible sense of depth and realism.
Imagine watching a video of a family gathering or a celebration with friends or your loved ones and feeling like you’re actually there!
So, the next time you’re recording a special moment on your iPhone 15 Pro, remember that with just a toggle in your settings, you can capture it in a way that lets you and others experience it in a whole new, immersive way in the near future. This is certainly a leap forward in how we capture and relive our memories.

RACE, ETHNICITY, AND AMERICA FOREIGN POLICY
From its inception, the U.S. has been guided by a series of racial principles
in both its North American expansion and its dealings with the outside world.
This course takes a chronological approach from the Revolution to the
current war against terrorism to explore the influences of ethnicity and racial
hierarchy in American foreign policy.
This course is a definite departure from traditional foreign relations
courses. Though following a
chronological timeline from the colonial period to the present, the course will
focus largely on specific case studies in an attempt to be part of an emerging
dialogue to discover ways of exploring the connection between America's domestic
social structure and the dominant ideology of racism in relation to foreign
policies. Among the questions it
seeks to answer are the following:
Through the use of lectures, readings, multi-media (film, posters, political
cartoons), and especially class discussion we will seek to investigate
this fascinating and controversial discipline.
Students may add-drop this course through the end of the second week; those
adding the course late will be responsible for all material covered.
The last day to drop this class without the Dean's approval is May 10.
-- ***Plagiarism/cheating will be treated as automatic failures for the
course and offenders will be referred to the Dean of Academic Affairs.***

They once married out of fear - if not they could be killed, sent away, raped, tortured.
The Khmer Rouge wanted them to prove their loyalty in this way. Forced marriage - the horrific act that brought them together, is now being tried as a crime against humanity in a tribunal.
But for these men and women, the most difficult of times led them to find love. Almost four decades after they were forced to marry, they have decided to have a real wedding.
"I just felt fear. I didn’t love my husband at all.”
“Now that my husband and I know each other," she says, "we will be marrying out of love.”
“I was terrified after hearing about the other couple getting killed, so I tried my best to understand her to avoid that same fate with her.”
“The relationship between my husband and I has gotten sweeter because we both feel that we are officially man and wife.
There are no words to describe this.”
“I knew they would
if I said no.
It was just us
marrying to survive;
it was not
out of love.”
“No, it depends on us and
how we understand each other.
That’s how we have been able to build a family after the Khmer Rouge.
It’s because of us working together and learning to compromise with each other.”

The Pittsburgh Pirates have sole possession of first place in the National League Central. It’s September. For all of you that were waiting for this team to pack it in and collapse for the third straight season, you can all officially jump on the bandwagon. A collapse is not happening, sorry. September isn’t only significant because it is the final full month of the season; rosters expand from a 25-man roster to potentially the entire 40-man roster. Teams don’t often promote 15 players to make the roster reach the 40-man limit, but the Pirates have said they will have 35-36 players on their September roster at some point.
On Sunday, the Pirates made their first few call-ups of the month. Outfielder Travis Snider, left-handed pitcher Kris Johnson and veteran reliever Kyle Farnsworth were the first three call-ups. This leaves the roster at 28; if you do the math, that means we can expect seven or eight more call-ups before the Pirates are done.
Snider had been with the Pirates all year until he went on the disabled list with discomfort in his big toe. He started the season very well, hitting over .300 for a majority of the first month, but his season didn’t stay so great. In 265 plate appearances, Snider has a .219/.287/.322 line with a wRC+ of 69 (100 is average). He shouldn’t get much playing time. I can’t really see him as anything more than a sixth outfielder at this point.
Johnson will make his first MLB start on Sunday. He already appeared out of the bullpen, pitching six innings of a long extra inning game. In 135.2 innings at Triple-A, the 28 year old lefty was 10-4 with a 2.39 ERA. He has good control, but the low strikeout numbers seemingly fit the mold of the “crafty lefty”.
Farnsworth is old; that doesn’t mean he can’t be useful, however. He does still throw in the upper 90’s with his fastball. The Pirates won’t use him in games that are close, but he will be able to eat up some innings in mop-up duty to preserve the better bullpen options down the stretch. In 29.2 innings with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013, Farnsworth had a 5.76 ERA.

As another winter season nears, I slowly leaf through the items in my cardboard memory box, one I had made with my best friend when the world consisted of swinging on monkey bars and avoiding cracks on the sidewalk on our way to school.
To many, the idea of winter conjures images of barren Arctic wastelands, an enormous blank page waiting for life to begin a new chapter with the blossoms of spring. For me, the holidays are a reminder of our childhood fantasies—when becoming a firefighter was tantamount to being a scientist or actress, and when our Southern Californian minds failed to wrap our mind around the fact that snowflakes were not as enormous as storybooks depicted them, but soft and miniscule—though with all the same unique beauty present in each individual flake.
With each item returned another bittersweet memory of our childhood: the ping-pong ball we used in experimenting with our Rube Goldberg contraptions, a parched daisy from the wreath I wore playing Kings for Breakfast—I was always Princess Labam and he the Raja’s son, as in the old Indian folktale. He would tell me about his adventures in Kerala, his humor and excitement ingeniously layered through each tale.
A small Minnie Mouse notepad occupied the corner of the box. Thumbing through the pages, I read the last entry: June 20, 2009. “Veendum kaanaam,” a Malayalam farewell which literally translated to “See you again later.” I smiled at my crooked kha‘s and jha‘s. My days spent learning the intricate curves and edges of Michael’s native language had led to my deep-rooted love for his culture, and what I now consider a part of mine.
Flipping back to a neon post-it mark, I began to read. “December 16, 2007”: He had told me that there were some untranslatable words meant to capture the wide spectrum of emotions in the human experience. Viraag, the Hindi term conveying the emotional pain of being separated from a loved one, seemed a beautiful word at the time. Living in the present but with lingering thoughts from the past. No other word could more accurately describe how I felt five years later, when we parted ways.
Despite the aching hollowness, the mix of tears and laughter I so vividly remember through each photograph now seemed logically balanced. Since he left, I have made it a goal to spread the wealth of positive energy he released around him, hoping that one day I may meet him again to tell him about my adventures.
And I have.
I see his expressions reflected in the faces of the men, women and children I have met through simple acts of kindness: in the smile of our elderly neighbor with Alzheimer’s finding her way home and in the determination of the fruta man at Legg Lake. I hear his laugh resonating among the young players I have coached, their enthusiasm reminiscent of his unmatched spirit. I see the glint in his eyes mirrored in those of our freshman mentees, eager to quench their burgeoning thirst for knowledge.
I can still feel the inseparable inner connection that switched on whenever we challenged the other kids to a basketball game in the empty lot by our school. Separated from the world by a chain-link fence, nothing else mattered but the uneven concrete floor and our semi-deflated basketball covered by dirt and grime. I remember the seemingly indefatigable vigor with which we played—regardless of score—and to this day that same burst of energy and love for the game remains an invaluable weapon as I enter every varsity competition.
As winter arrives once again, I begin to visualize every experience following grief as a snowflake, as writer Julia Cook once did. Each snowflake is made of the same substance—the water, or tears, of loss. Nevertheless, no two snowflakes are identical. They each have a unique geometric shape, path, and time frame before they land. As much as we try every year to reach for the snowflake as it lands in the palm of our hands, however, they dissolve before we can fully appreciate its true beauty.
I stopped attempting to ensnare the ephemeral beauty of the snowflake and instead admire them as they fall—on television screens and through dreams, as I have never experienced snowfall. Only then did I realize that acknowledging my inability to prolong the snowflakes’ beauty was a pivotal step towards the final stage of grief: acceptance.


Johnsons Coaches has expanded its top-specification Luxury Traveller fleet with the addition of a further Irizar i8 integral, supplied by Irizar UK.
The 13.2m tri-axle seats just 43 passengers. It takes to 10 the number of Irizar integral coaches to have joined the Henley-in-Arden business since February 2020. Six of those are i6, i6S and i6S Efficient models for private hire duties. The other four are i8 examples.
All of the latter are 43-seaters for Luxury Traveller work, a programme that Commercial Director John Johnson says has been “very successful” for Johnsons since launch in 2021. It majors on high-end travel, with high-specification coaches and four-star hotels both part of the product.
“Our customers love the huge leg room on these coaches, plus the flat passenger deck and the high floor level,” adds Mr Johnson. “All 10 Irizars have DAF drivelines, which is always our preference, and Irizar UK has always looked after us well with aftercare service.”
Among the amenities fitted to the new i8 integral are a centre toilet, a Bosch Smart Series entertainment system, a vacuum cleaner and USB charging points. The passenger seats are equipped with lateral displacement, magazine nets, multi-position footrests and drop-down tables.
Johnsons has also opted for rear-view cameras on the coach, following the two i6S Efficient integrals delivered with that technology earlier in 2023. It gives benefits to both safety thanks to an enhanced view, and efficiency through reduced drag and fuel consumption.
The new i8 integral will be deployed as a Luxury Traveller vehicle for three years. To suit use beyond that, it has been supplied with additional seats and passenger service units to permit an increase in capacity to 53 later. Provision for subsequent compliance with PSVAR has also been incorporated.
Power comes from the DAF MX-13 engine developing 483bhp coupled to a ZF Traxon automated manual gearbox.

Michael Jae White is at it again! As both director and actor, this time with his main adversary the colossal Nathan Jones, as the surprisingly authentic-like Brazilian/Portuguese madman Caesar Braga.
Tony Jaa makes a small cameo too, in the most respectfully entertaining way, and not just him but also the so-called female Tony Jaa: JeeJa Yanin. The fans have been hoping to see the both of them in the same movie a long time (I should know), and here they are! Though not with prominent roles they're an appreciated surprise. A fun bonus. Props.
As for the movie: I barely remember the prequels of this series, but the story is certainly not the strongest point of the franchise. Nor is the acting... or the dialog. The script's that of pretty much any traditional fighter movie: a guy signs up for a fight, his friend comes along, unexpected things happen, the main guy goes down and the buddy takes over, there's a girl, there's an antagonist with a lot of cash, and things get problematic. Good versus evil. Ethics over cash. Friendship over all.
It's predictable, but it ends the way it should! With justice... and violence.
The fights are really the only thing you're looking to see here, and maybe some creative training accompanied by heavy hiphop music, and of course a happy ending. That and the cameos mentioned above, maybe some of the corny comedy, and of course some of Thailand too! It's a nice place, with nice people, and plenty of nice fights.
The choreography gets better with each one, and though it's not enough to redeem all and make it a great movie they make it well worth watching. Good fun, just nothing spectacular apart from the action.
rated 3/5: not bad
Looks like Jae White's become the star of his own show! He brings this to a Rocky level type fight club, with a little intrigue behind the scenes, business type of stuff, a little love on the side, a Tony Jaa cameo! And JeeJa Yanin too! Wooooooooooyeah! It's got Nathan Jones as the big bad wolf too! All greats from the martial arts Thai era come together.
But, it's lost the underdog tone. And the fights aren't half as flashy as they were in the original duo. It's a shame. I really loved the prequels, but although this one brings in some impressive names, and has potential to be all as good and better... it just doesn't reach that level. Not a bad fighting movie as is, though. Not bad.
rated 3/5: not bad

Comment on the New Zealand mosque shootings.
Anas Sarwar MSP, chair of the Scottish Parliament’s Cross-Party Group on Tackling Islamophobia, said:
“This was a devastating and despicable attack.
“Today, as millions of Muslims attend Friday Prayers across the world, thoughts are with all the victims, their families and friends, and all those hurting.
“Prejudice is on the rise across the world, creating a toxic ‘us versus them’ environment that sows the seeds of hate.
“This terrorist attack is designed to divide our communities, but an attack on one is an attack on all.
“In the aftermath of this distressing tragedy, we must unite and work together to confront hatred. This is not a fight for one individual community; it’s a fight for all of us.”

TIR enables goods to be shipped from a country of origin, through transit countries, to a country of destination in sealed load compartments that are controlled by customs via a multilateral and mutually recognised system. It is, according to the International Road Transport Union (IRU), the easiest, safest and most reliable way to move goods across multiple international borders which has potential to save transport operators and customs authorities time and money.
This intermodal transport example from India via Chabahar Port in Iran involved the cartage of factory line components. The operation took seven days in total, IRU reported, with five by sea and two by road from Chabahar Port in Iran to the final destination in Afghanistan. In comparison, the traditional route from Bandar Abbas Port in Iran is three to four days longer. This was also the first TIR operation started from India and by an Indian TIR carnet holder.
Risk management procedures were reportedly completed ahead of the journey due to TIR and its IT tools. This negated the need to open containers for inspection at any of the borders crossed, including Chabahar Port.
IRU has estimated a 20 per cent boost to sea and land transport time in this instance with the implementation of TIR.
“This first intermodal TIR transport from India along the Chabahar corridor is an exciting development in the region and goes to demonstrate the wider potential of intermodal TIR for shippers and transport operators around the world,” said IRU Secretary General, Umberto de Pretto.
In addition to linking Iran to Afghanistan, Central Asia, Russia and eventually Europe, Chabahar also is the only Iranian port with direct access to the Indian Ocean.
This first TIR transport operation is based on the Chabahar transit agreement signed between India and Iran, and represents the initial step towards the full activation of the India-Iran-Afghanistan route.
“The opening of new corridors is especially important given the current circumstances resulting from the Coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic,” said de Pretto. “The facilitation of new, faster and more secure routes ensures that the goods keep getting to the people who need them.”
Meanwhile, the most immediate concern for the road transport industry amid the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the IRU, is to maintain supply chains, especially for food and medical items – in the safest way possible for transport workers and citizens while respecting relevant government guidelines.
IRU and its member network continue to monitor the situation in regions and across borders, advising transport companies on dealing with the pandemic and its impacts. IRU has implemented crisis and continuity plans, including preventive measures to protect staff.
“While the full scale of Covid-19 is not yet known, we can only assume that the outbreak will continue seriously impacting the global economy, trade and tourism in the coming weeks and months, and thus the road transport sector and the supply chains and mobility networks it supports,” IRU said in a statement. “Moving people and goods needs roads. The production and distribution of almost every good on the planet is dependent, at some point, on services provided by road transport operators.”
IRU has estimated, based on a fall in intercontinental container shipments, a decline in global transport activity of up to 20 per cent in 2020.
Nearly six per cent of people employed worldwide work in road transport, according to IRU, largely in small and medium sized firms that, due to their size, cannot easily cope with external shocks such as the economic impacts of Covid-19.
“The economic burden is high, and growing, on both workers and the owners of firms,” IRU said. “They are doing their best to stay afloat, however functioning supply chains and the mobility of essential workers depend on them remaining in business.”
IRU is calling on government and authorities, including banks and financial institutions, to take various temporary actions to help ease the burden of the crisis on operators.
IRU’s safety recommendations include: operating companies should implement higher driver health and safety standards for loading and unloading goods (particularly in quarantine areas) and concerning the carriage of documents to demonstrate compliance with health rules; operating companies must ensure traceability in recording and maintaining driver and worker movements; governments and authorities should clearly communicate enforcement procedures for vehicles, drivers and cargo or passengers, especially for quarantine areas; and governments and authorities should closely coordinate and publish measures to mitigate the impact of the restrictions they adopt on supply chains and related movements of goods and people.
IRU also recommends that governments should: ease driving and resting time rules to ensure efficient logistics for critical goods (food and medical supplies) and enable drivers to leave affected regions or quarantine zones as quickly as possible to return home; lift delivery restrictions to ensure delivery can take place at safer times, in the night for example; ease loan and mortgage repayment terms from financial institutions, especially for large vehicle loans, and VAT and tax payment deadlines; remove or reduce tolls and road user charges for trucks and coaches; set up support programs for temporarily unemployed road transport workers; avoid unilateral measures by the relevant authorities so that cross-border transport of goods is facilitated (especially essential items such as food and medical supplies); and provide emergency financial aid programs for impacted businesses to prevent bankruptcies.
“Keeping road transport supply chains and mobility networks open is crucial to helping us all cope with the Covid-19 pandemic in the comings weeks and beyond,” said IRU Secretary General, Umberto de Pretto. “To do this, we need to protect the workers and companies who are the backbone of road transport, and to keep transport links open wherever and as long as possible in affected areas so that essential goods and people can get to where they need to be.”


Sean to ‘Penn’ a documentary on Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi’s murder
It was being speculated that Oscar-winning Hollywood actor and filmmaker, Sean Penn was interested in a documentary on the murder of Saudi Arabian journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. The speculations come to an end, as Penn and his crew were seen in front of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Wednesday. They also shot a few scenes in front of the consulate as well as the residence of the Saudi consul, who left Turkey after the journalist's killing on October 2 as reported by a Turkish private NTV broadcaster.
Khashoggi, who was a resident of the United States and worked as a columnist for the Washington Post, disappeared in the month of October 2018, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Soon after, reports surfaced that he was abducted, tortured, killed and dismembered by the Saudi Nationals on the orders of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi government initially denied their involvement in the Khashoggi murder but later admitted that he was killed at the consulate.
The Turkish police and crime scene investigators are still trying to detect Jamal Khashoggi’s body parts across Istanbul and the neighbouring Yalova province. The Khashoggi murder case managed to get all the attention, internationally.Read More

The sublime handling that BMW cars deliver with their connected steering systems and rear wheel drive layouts is stuff that every car nut worth their salt must experience atleast once in their lifetimes. So, when BMW’s M-Performance division boss, Mr Friedrich Nitschke, says that BMW will stick to the rear wheel drive layout on all its future M-Performance cars, we’re pretty pleased. So, M-badged BMW of the future will continue to be rear wheel driven although the German luxury car maker is all set to launch a slew of front wheel driven cars in the coming years.
2013 F10 BMW M550d High Performance Diesel Sedan
The front wheel driven cars in BMW’s future range will use the Mini platform but will be restricted to entry level car models that will rival the likes of Mercedes Benz’s MFA based cars and Audi’s MQB range. Both Mercedes Benz and Audi have taken to the all wheel drive route for their high performance cars badged under the AMG and RS franchises. So, BMW seems to be the only high performance car maker among the Teuton trio to hold out and stick to the rear wheel drive layout. This approach from BMW is similar to one taken by Mercedes Benz a while ago.
A year ago, Mercedes Benz AMG top boss noted that the high performance car giant will not produce diesel powered high performance cars. Audi and BMW, on the other hand have hopped on to the high performance turbo diesel engine brigade in a big way. While Audi has high performance cars like the SQ5 crossover outfitted with the 3 Liter BiTurbo diesel engine, BMW has M-badged cars like the X5, X6 and 5-Series sedan outfitted with the 3 liter triple turbo diesel engine. So, there appears to be a divergence in the approach of the Teuton trio for their high performance cars. All said, this divergence could actually a good thing as the car buyer will have an easier time making a choice.

The aim of the exchange from Monday, October 4, to Friday, October 8, 2021, which will take place virtually due to the pandemic, is to learn from each other and to motivate each other to vigorously and quickly confront the advancing climate change on the ground. On the one hand, cities are producers of climate-damaging emissions. On the other, they are increasingly developing into places of innovation - for example, for sustainable energy generation, future-proof mobility and digitalization.
Knowledge, action and decision-making - these are the three areas in which Daring Cities 2021 aims to bring the threads together. This is entirely in line with the Paris Climate Agreement, which explicitly considers contributions not only from national levels but also from the local and regional levels, the business community and civil society as a prerequisite for successful implementation.
Bonn's Mayor Katja Dörner, who is responsible for climate action on the ICLEI Global Executive Committee together with her counterpart Tunc Soyer from Izmir (Turkey), points out: "In Bonn, we have already declared Climate Emergency in 2019, and we want to be climate neutral by 2035 at the latest. We can only achieve this together. Here in Bonn, for example, we have launched the participatory process 'Bonn4Future' for this purpose. But it must now also be clear to everyone around the globe that this is the time to act and to become involved."
Mayor Dörner presents Bonn's path to climate neutrality
During the conference, Dörner will not only present Bonn's path to climate neutrality (Monday, October 4, 10 a.m.), but above all will call for more cooperation between sectors and levels ( ). The Mayor commented: "What mankind is now facing can best be compared to competitive sports. We must not only have stamina, but mobilize all reserves to reach the finish line before the climate catastrophe will cost countless lives all over the world."
Dörner knows she has a prominent supporter from the world of sports at her side: Bonn-based Annika Zeyen, hand cyclist and gold medalist in the time trial at the Paralympics in Tokyo 2021, who will speak at the closing panel (Friday, October 8), as will the Mayor.
As in the previous year, Bonn-based organizations and networks will also participate in the conference program as part of the "@Bonnglobal" series. The two sessions will be hosted by the Südwind Institute, this year's annual partner of the City of Bonn, together with Germanwatch on climate justice issues (Tuesday, October 5, 12 noon) and by the Bonn Water Network on water and climate change (Thursday, October 7, 12 noon). ( and ).
Anniversary ‘25 years of UN City of Bonn’ is part of the program
The City of Bonn is celebrating 25 years of UN Bonn, which is also reflected in the program: on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, from 5 to 5:45 p.m., an international and thematically diverse panel will address the question of how new types of cooperation can be shaped within the UN and what cities and regions can contribute to this. Francesca Racioppi, Head of the WHO Office for Environment and Health and Chair of the Heads of Agencies of UN Bonn, will participate on behalf of the United Nations in Bonn ( ).
Daring Cities 2021 will not end with the closing event on Friday, October 8. It continues under the headline "Urban October", the campaign month for urban issues between World Habitat Day and World Cities Day, coordinated in Germany by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The topic will also be taken up at the World Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in early November, which will continue to promote cooperation between levels under the Paris Agreement.
In addition to the city network ICLEI and the City of Bonn, the main partners of Daring Cities 2021 are the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Foundation for International Dialogue of Sparkasse Bonn, and this year also the Japanese Ministry of the Environment.
