Jones scoops £15k BBC Short Story Award Novelists with his story, ‘The Edge of the Shoal’, described as one of the judges, Eimear McBride, as as “perfect a short story as I've ever read”. McBride also revealed she had thought about it “most days” since reading it months ago.
Jones was presented with his £15,000 prize on Tuesday evening (3rd October), at the 12th edition of the awards, by chair of the judges Joanna Trollope at a ceremony at the BBC’s Radio Theatre in London as part of a special edition of BBC Radio 4’s “Front Row”.
Jones’ “poignant, rhythmical and tension-fuelled story” follows a man who sets out to scatter his father’s ashes, leaving a note for his pregnant partner which reads “Pick Salad x”. The writer said he was inspired to write a story “with no definite sense of place where a person is literally cast adrift from place and relationship”.
Jones revealed to The Bookseller that he had almost given up on the short story “many times but something kept calling me back”.
He discussed how the story originally began life as a short novel, The Cove (2016), the second title in his two-book contract for Granta, before being halved for inclusion in The New Yorker and then stripped again for the BBC Radio 4 broadcast edition. “It think it will be a haiku by Christmas,” he said.
Jones revealed he did not read many short stories when he was younger and was often “disappointed” by them but believes the landscape has recently transformed. “But what I feel has happened over the last few years is there is some extraordinary experimentation going on, some brilliant technical work.” He cited Daisy Johnson, Lucy Wood, Kevin Barry, and Claire Keegan as prime examples.
Jones (pictured left) also said he was pleased with the direction on “shorter, slimmer novels” such as Max Porter’s Grief is The Thing with Feathers (Faber) and The End We Start From (Picador) by Megan Hunter. “It was very difficult to get these things through before so this is a very positive thing.”
The four remaining shortlisted writers will each receive £600. The nominations were revealed last month, and included three of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists, Jenni Fagan, Benjamin Markovits and Helen Oyeyemi, as well as critic and novelist Will Eaves.
Jon McGregor, writer and judge, said: “The Edge of the Shoal' does something genuinely thrilling with the confines of the short story: for 6,000 words the reader exists only in the lived present moment, in a mental space where life is stripped to its bare essentials.
“There are simply the raw bleeding details of survival. It's an exhilarating, terrifying, and life-affirming read.”
He described the story as “a stunning achievement and a deserved winner of the prize.’
McBride said: 'I've thought about ‘The Edge of the Shoal’ most days since first reading it, months ago. Not the immaculate construction, or modernising take on the 'man versus nature' tale, but its tenderly devastating exploration of the body as it hangs outside time.”
She added: “It is as perfect a short story as I've ever read and works on the reader like an invasion, as all the best literature should.”
Di Speirs, books editor at BBC Radio 4 and longstanding judge of the prize, praised the story’s “searing immediacy” and described it as a "perfect illustration of the transporting, utterly absorbing power of a great short story".
Jones is based in the west coast of Wales. He is the author of five novels, The Long Dry, Everything I Found on the Beach, The Dig, and Cove (all published by Granta) as well as Bird, Blood, Snow (Seren Books). His short stories have appeared on BBC Radio 4 and in a number of anthologies and publications including Granta Magazine and the New Yorker. He has also scripted an episode of the television crime drama “Hinterland”.
It was also revealed at the ceremony that Elizabeth Ryder from Oxfordshire, 17, won the third BBC Young Writers’ Award for her short story ‘Roses’ about emotional abuse, described as “sophisticated, moving… absolutely faultless” by judge Holly Bourne. The announcement came days after the shortlist was released.
Bourne revealed she “burst into tears” after reading Ryder’s story, which will is available on the Radio 1 website. It will be read by actress “War and Peace” actress Tuppence Middleton on Alice Levine’s show on BBC Radio 1 on Saturday (7th October). Ryder will also receive a personal mentoring session to further develop her writing skills.
It was revealed last week that First Story and the University of Cambridge are the new partners of the BBC’s short story awards, replacing BookTrust, in a three-year collaboration starting in 2018.
Later this month 150, hand-bound letter-press editions of Jones' gothic short story, ‘A Letter from Wales’, published by Welsh independent publisher Gwydir Press. It will feature linecut illustrations and is designed in paper wrappers, to be published on 28th October |
While Apple fans around the world eagerly await official news of the iPad 2 specs, price, and release date – we’re going to jump the gun and take a look at a full hands-on review of the device. Apple sure has made a lot of advances since the iPad 2, and you seriously won’t believe what this thing can do!
So what’s under the hood of the iPad 2 you ask? Well, that is still a mystery until next the Apple event coming up this Wednesday. But, in the mean time you can see exactly what the iPad 2 can do, just check out the video below for the full “review!”
I have to say, out of all of the new features my favorite has to be the screen size. When I handled the first generation iPad, I was worried that it might be too small. Now I know, with the iPad 2 Apple is doing it right and they’ve made it the perfect viewing size, and somehow it even still fits in your pocket! Have a groovy weekend everyone!
Norwegian humour 🙂
Not bad 🙂

Grants available for local artists
Apply now!Applications are now open for grants that will support artists deliver new works, thanks to Africa Prime that provides artists with international platform to showcase their work.
The Africa Prime Initiative (API), the philanthropic arm of US-based video streaming platform Africa Prime, has joined forces with Namibia’s StArt Art Gallery to launch its first-ever grants for African artists.
Five Namibian artists will be awarded up to US$2 000 each to pursue projects across the spectrum of visual arts.
Africa Prime’s mission is to give a voice to African talent and help authentic African voices take control of the continent’s international narrative. The grants will help artists to develop their skills and create new works of art that will be featured in new video programming for Africa Prime’s streaming service in North America.
Dr Yaya Moussa, founder of Africa Prime, said that their mission is to give emerging African talent global visibility and ensure authentic African voices are well represented on the world stage. “We want to help break down financial barriers that prevent African artists from realising their creative visions and show the world the significant contribution African art can make.”
StArt Art Gallery, an independent gallery in Windhoek, will gather submissions, support API, assess the merits of each application and disburse the awarded funds.
Gina Figueira, the gallery’s co-founder said that grants like this are an incredible way to support the arts as they offer an opportunity to create without any particular restrictions or specifications. “Artists are able to fully express themselves and share their stories with the assistance of this grant, which is borne out of an understanding of how important it is to encourage and highlight the voices of artists on the continent.”
The grants in Namibia will be the first disbursed by API with projects in multiple other African countries to be announced in due course.

here it is with a better picture, but in French.
Tex Avery - Bad Luck Blackie
Uploaded by robeu
Tex Avery's storytelling tradition goes back to American folklore -"Tall Tales" like Paul Bunyan.
He likes ideas that are based on impossible premises. Once you accept the impossible premise, he keeps building it to more preposterous heights.
This takes a lot of imagination to make funny, but it also takes a very rational approach to storytelling. Tex Avery at MGM became a master of story structure.
Bad Luck Blackie structure
Premise
The premise is that if a black cat crosses your path it brings you trouble.
A Bulldog is mean to a kitten. A black cat witnesses the bullying.
He tells the kitten “If you’re ever in trouble, just whistle and I’ll cross the bulldog’s path and something will come crashing down on his head.”
Is the premise funny?
Not if you just told it to someone.
Tex wants you to understand this premise, so he can get to the middle of the cartoon, which has a series of funny accidents happening to the bulldog, each time he bullies the kitten.
Setup
Structurally, the beginning of the story has to introduce the premises upon which the story is based on. Tex needs to have us understand what the cartoon is going to be about.
In some Avery cartoons, Tex gets the setup over with as fast as possible using exposition, so that you can get to the story part, like in his hilarious “Deputy Droopy”.
In Bad Luck Blackie, he instead chooses to make the setup really funny by not merely stating the story premise, but by giving us feelings about the characters.
Characterization
In less talented hands, a mean bulldog torturing a kitten would be very downbeat and depressing. Some of the gags are downright shocking and cruel! Like the kitten getting his tongue caught in a mousetrap.
Amazingly, this whole section is really funny. You feel sympathy for the kitten, but at the same time, the bulldog’s design and acting and his sheer glee makes you like him as well.
Introduce Twist
Once we’ve seen the setup and we feel sorry for the poor kitten, Tex introduces a way to save the kitten and thwart the Bulldog’s bullying.
A black cat tells the kitten to just whistle whenever he’s in trouble, and Blackie will walk by the bulldog and cause something to fall on his head.
Blackie himself is not just a black cat; he is a character too, a street smart city kid, like one of the Bowery boys.
Build The middle
The gags in the middle are mostly bigger and bigger and crazier things falling on the Bulldog’s head, but the setup, middle and payoff for each gag is funny too.
Most of the humor comes, not from the object that lands on the Bulldog’s head, but from his personality. His joy at torturing the cat, his change in attitude as he starts to realize the consequences of his actions, and his self pride, when he thinks he has figured out how to outwit the whistle gag.
So Tex leads us to believe that the gags are a straight build up of things crashing on the head gags (and those are all funny) but he tosses in some twists and thwarts our expectations here and there, just as we think we have it all figured out.
This is not only imaginative, it is extremely clever and took a sharp brain and serious structural planning to pull off.
Tex is in total control of our brains and our expectations.
Crazy Topper Ending
Once Tex has basically milked what you think is the most you could from this premise, he tops it all off with a fast climax as the bulldog runs away with huge impossible things falling from the sky. By this time, as Joe Adamson keenly observed in his Tex Avery, King Of Cartoons book, the premise is no longer needed for us to accept things falling on the bulldog’s head.
Blackie no longer needs to cross his path. We just have to hear the whistle and we totally accept the logic.
The Best Cartoonists Make Us Believe Preposterous ThingsTex took us on a ride that we should never have accepted if we stopped to think logically about it. Thank God he didn't have to get notes from today's executives!
He did it with utter control of his talent, skills, logical brain and our psychology.
Tex Avery is a genius in my books. Most cartoons day are plagued with time-eating explanations for things that don't need to be explained logically. The more that modern cartoons try to explain the ridiculous things that happen in cartoons, the more we are aware of how unbelievable they are. And these explanations are generally boring to boot.
Cartoons can completely convince us of impossible, illogical things...if they are highly structured and logical in their illogical premises. And the more fun they are, the less time we will have to stop and say "Why, that's impossible!"

He got better at MGM, I think, at setting up the story quickly and moving on to the jokes.
- trevor.
I obtained the French version of the Complete Tex Avery box set (since it is not available in the US, and it is just phenomenal. It's great to be able to watch all of a single director's cartoons in chronological order, and see how their style evolves. I wish there were a WB box set for each of the directors.
Tex is a master of repeating the same gag but changing the end result or take, each time to keep it interesting. The bulldog got hit in the head 20 times, but there were 20 unique and hilarious results. Look at all the different ways the Black Cat crosses the Bulldog's path. Same intent, but a completely different and surprising way of doing it each time. It's truly brilliant.
Great post John!
All that and he was the voice of the mean laughing Bulldog too!
Jason;)
That Tex is so damn inventive.
It seems to me that if the director can engage the viewer's emotional side, and "win" the audience over after establishing thier cast/premise, they're much more receptive to ridiculousness. Good post.
"the bulldog’s design and acting and his sheer glee makes you like him as well."
Yes and that is why sadism can be enjoyable from any character, antagonist or not. If you see them enjoy themselves in a non-threatening manner, you can't hate them very much.
The creeping around the door at about 1.20 is fantastic. A great example of breaking the rules of real physics and yet it's almost more true to the action than just depicting it literally - it gets across the full mental intention of that act.
The animation on the kitten is just lovely. So cute and it's cartoony enough to get across attitude and expression while taking on some great animal characteristics.
A bit of a contrast to the other two characters who very much move like cartoon people, even when the cat goes on four legs towards the end.
The laugh at .53 is another favourite. That's excellent and doesn't seem like a standard animation laugh - it's specific to that character.
Nice stuff. It's in French though so I had no idea what was happening because I don't know the language.
Tex Avery's MGM work is brilliant. Iwould go so far to count it as among some of the best filmmaking ever. I wish he 40's work was on DVD, not just Droopy but cartoons like this.
Maybe we should check out American Folklore, and see if we can learn what Tex learned. Go back to the source.
In less talented hands, a mean bulldog torturing a kitten would be very downbeat and depressing.
I think it's the timing and the way the kitten reacts and keeps going.
We measure a blow by the amount of damage done. The kitten doesn't cry, or scream, or limp, or bleed, or struggle away with anything broken. As for the timing, we aren't given a second to wonder if something's wrong, we're just shown that it isn't and we move on.
I wonder if we laugh in relief.
Excellent post. I wish Warner Brothers would get off their asses and release Tex Avery's work on DVD. They're sitting on a comedy goldmine.
Bad Luck Blackie is also available for viewing on the ASIFA Archive site.
See ya
Steve
Well said! I like what you said about the bulldog being appealing. It would have been a mistake to make him come off as a standard bully.
it really asn't that funny
Yes and that is why sadism can be enjoyable from any character, antagonist or not. If you see them enjoy themselves in a non-threatening manner, you can't hate them very much.
I only enjoy watching a sadistic character if poetic justice comes about in a convoluted and entertaining way...which it did frequently (not always) in Tex Avery cartoons.
That reminds me of Bugs Bunny actually..for some reason. The only Bugs Bunny cartoons I enjoy are the ones where he isn't on top the whole time and he keeps getting the opposite of what he expects. That's why I only like Bob Clampett's Bugs Bunny.
I've been recording MGM on Boomerang lately - and I've noticed that all the really good cartoons they've shown are Avery's! There's a lot of Hugh Harmon(?) cartoons and Barney Bears, which are beautifully crafted - but pretty dull by comparison. For perfect comedic timing and hilarious characters - Tex's cartoons top the list.
If I could create something just 10% as charming as Dixieland Droopy (a pretty subtle cartoon in the Avery catalog) I'd be a happy man. From the FANTASTIC intro/credits and music, to the stylized "John Pettibone" Droopy - pure perfection. The flea smoke break is classic.
Another little touch about this cartoon that I find interesting is in the first segment when the bulldog is torturing the kitten. At one point, he gets too careless and ends up injuring himself in that outdoor stove long before the black cat appears. I think this was also part of what you said about making us find the dog appealing. That's what bullies are in real life essentially. Most of the time they're not this ominous allpowerful menace. Most often they are clumsy and awkward losers. They simply use bullying as a futile attempt to feel better about themselves.
I think that's the personality Tex gave to that dog. This way we can enjoy the violent acts and his eventual comeupance on more than 1 level. All at one time, we feel sorry for him having all these things continuously fall on him (especially at the end) but then again we all know that he really did deserve it.
It takes talent and imagination to pull that off. Tex possessed both those qualities and more.
There's something about the encoding of the .mov file on the ASIFA site that made the animation seem a little off. It made the characters move in a strange way like the characters in that Heathcliff cartoon series from the late 80s.
Anyone else notice this? Maybe the encoding caused some dropped frames. I just thought it was interesting because the hits aren't as hard as they are in the low res versions.
David: I actually didn't feel so sorry for the dog at the end. When he got the upper hand, the dog wanted to viciously beat the black cat. He wasn't going tease him like the kitten. So his punishment at the end was justified.
Brian: I also like Bob Clampett's Bugs the most. He was more of a playful joker and he didn't always win like in FALLING HARE.
This was a great entry. I hope we see more about the writing styles of different animators!
And its true, the less you explain it, the easier it is to pull off!
Ok so I have a bunch of these classics, and now that I have an animation job, I've been scouring my collection to try and pick up some ideas, tricks, etc.
Ever time I try and watch the Merrie Melodies Cartoons from the 40's I end up just watching them totally absorbed in what is going on, then before I know it I'm backtracking and saying to myself, my God these guys are total Masters, how the @#$ do they do that!
Man I feel small. |

An anonymous message app spreads cyberbullying among young people
A new mobile application has set off alarms among parents, educators and digital surveillance organizations for promoting the cyber bullying among young people Is about
Tellonym
, an app that allows users formulate and answer questions anonymously.
The creators of the application believe that this way you can encourage an open and honest conversation, but experts say that what favors is cyberbullying and cruelty.
The application defines itself as "the most honest place on the internet"; the name "Tellonym" is a contraction of "Tell" (count) and "anonymous". The idea is that users create a non-anonymous profile, and from that profile they can leave anonymous "warnings" or messages destined to "tell me what you think of me". If a user chooses to respond to an anonymous "warning", the conversation will appear in their profile.
Created in 2016 by three German students, the Tellonym app currently has 13 million users, as can be seen in the App Store. However, the SensorTower application monitoring service reports that the application had 600,000 downloads in January 2019, as published in Mashable.
In July 2018, the application began to become popular internationally and in several parts of the world there has been information about schools that alert families about possible cases of cyberbullying among adolescents.
On its website, the Tellonym application claims that it is trying to prevent bullying and that for that they block 85 percent of short messages that violate its terms. In theory, they also eliminate 50 percent of the messages that violate the conditions of use.
"Our filters are implemented to automatically remove content that does not comply with our Community Guidelines. We have an active moderator community that helps us improve those filters on a regular basis and have a solid data set to test them, "can be read on the Tellonym website.
"We take parental concerns very seriously and are working very hard to counteract any misuse of Tellonym," says the app's CEO, Maximillian Rellin, at Mashable. "Creating a system that is safe because of its design was one of our main motivations," he adds.
This is not the first anonymous messaging service aimed at young people who have been involved in the controversy. Anonymous message services such as Yik Yak and Sarahah had to close after a long controversy over cases of abuse and intimidation.
But it is also that the Tellonym app presents a series of inconsistencies, errors and a style of informal communication that does not help in creating confidence in the ability of the team to manage an anonymous community of teenagers. To begin with, a photo published on the Instagram of the app that shows the Tellonym team shows a group of young people, seven boys and one girl, who do not seem to be over 20 years old.
Among other things, the app does not make clear who has permission to use it, because in the App Store it states that they must be over 17 years old while in the terms of use of the website they indicate that they must be over 13.
According to Tellonym's CEO, users older than 13 can use the app, but as long as they have entered with a parent's email address, and can not download the application until Tellonym obtains written consent from their parents. .
Finally, another thing that is not clear is the security options, because the link to consult on the web direct to an empty page. |
Xillor-The-Shadow|2017-02-08 21:01:57Here,
That's actually a cool idea. I like it.
Also, thanks everyone for your first feedback.
Thank you, we need as many tank classes as possible, it makes a better community.
If a class has earth spells they should be a tank except cra/rogue:
Lock:
For my class (sadida), if you make them one of the new tank classes:
Sacrier:
PLEASE! Please please please please!
Now that you're reworking Sacrier, PLEASE, praying to the twelve Gods, give Sacrier a cool battle stance, and please do somehow keep the multi-hands visual effect!
I will make offerings to the Goddess Sacrier on the meanwhile.
First, I would like to see that a sacrier has enough options for a full range DD/ positioner (I like the air branch, but only this branch at the moment) and for a melee tank/beserk. For a range DD a start would be more spells with a higher range (and range modifiable).
To tank classes, I don't like the concept of Iop, Foggernaut and Huppermage being a tank, I don't think it fits their role, but I think Foggernaut can be a good supp for a tank with some buffs only for allies if they are next to a Foggernaut Blockade.
The best classes for tanking should be Feca(Tank,Supp), Sacrier(Tank, Positioner,DD), Pandawa (Tank, Positioner,DD), Sadida (Tank,Supp,Healer) and eventually Enu (Tank, DD).
More options for other tank classes like Leather Plating must be implemented, there is no other way to give other classes a chance in the competition with fecas. Eventually only give this tank classes Leather Plating too. Than some classes need more lock to tank as good as a feca.
And the last big point, tank must have options to position their target, this means...
-Pandawas can throw all bosses except 3x3 bosses
-Sacrier have options to exchange their position with some bosses, eventually a buff to make this more easy.
-Sadida have K'mir, I'm not shure if this is enough.
-Enu: No idea yet.
@Neneko: You mentioned Ecaflip, I don't think they need a tank branch for bosses, I like the full concept of this class and their roles Healer, DD, Supp, Off-Tank are enough. No need for full tank.
It's ok for us to like roles but dungeons now don't care about what we like. They require these roles. Either that or ask Dy7 for different type of dungeons.
Tanking mechanics eh?
*More class synergy would be fun: Osa teaches Iop "how to Feca" [video link].
Honestly tho, the problem I have with "tanking" in Wakfu, is that it's a boring aspect of the game and
makes fights just take longer.
Look at end game content to see what I mean.
IE: MVP's of late game content, are the "walls" holding feca's in place so they can tank bosses, while the
rest of their team actually (play the game) clear out the room of enemies.
Croc:
Feca + Wall + Teleport = win.
Koko:
Feca + Teleport = win.
Karnivore:
Feca + Teleport = win.
Kannibal:
Feca + Wall + Teleport = win.
ect, ect...
~~~
Classes are limited by dungeon design.
*You could have 100x well designed tank classes, perfectly balanced for PvE and PvP.. but still have only 2 or 3
that people actually play late game, due to content restrictions.
IE: Only 2 or 3 can actually "do" their job, in dungeons that require tanks.
tl;dr
My suggestion for tank mechanics, is to focus more on interesting dungeon and creature designs, so tanks
can do more than just "hold up the wall".
If you make changes to tanking... consider Pandawa too. I hate the idea of pandawa trying to face tank bosses, since it basically prevents them from using any of their mobility or positioning tools... (which sucks and is boring Dx).
Osamodas rework's only being wanted because of how powerful it is on PvP, however we still haven't a decent PvP system on Wakfu so I totally disagree reworking it without giving more love to other classes on PvE.
Making Eca a tank.. lol. Please. Don't be silly.
But for real, they should define what it means to be a main tank (a tank that can independently tank endgame content) and a off-tank (a tank that can handle endgame content with support from another character), and decide which classes should be fulfilling which roles (Enu,Sadi,Iop being off-tanks, with Fogger, Feca, Sac and Panda being main tanks using blockades/glyphs/coagulation/barrel respectively).
Also you're simultaneously asking for Sadida to be buffed (when they're already a strong class) while also expressing concern that they're going to buff Sacriers to make them the best at everything.. what's the matter? Don't want someone muscling in on Sadida's territory?
Osa and Rogue were voted more in need of revamp than Hupper...
Really?
I think most people would prefer to have their old favorite classes that were kind of left in the dust (osa and rogue) rather than a boring, crappy class that nobody plays (hupper).
That's the thing: Rogue and Osa may want revamps, but Hupper needs one. Rogue and Osa are both much more serviceable, easier to play, and easier to gear.
Also tons of Sacrier Mains it's almost unfair guys.
Here,
Asking what we think about tanks seems like such a hollow gesture because it's a topic that comes up on the forums time and time again so it's something you should already know. It's a question you should already have an abundance of answers to and plenty of feedback about.
In the same way that showing a unlabelled pie chart for people to "guess" about to keep them in suspense seems completely tone deaf when it's for important balance changes that people have been crying out for for 1year+. I am however reasonably happy with the results from it.
Anyway...
Feca is indisputably the best tank because it has a much better toolset. It's capable of permanently locking down 5MP bosses and it's capable of positioning unpushable bosses effectively and it can reliably MP chip. Other tank classes can't do that so if you wanted to bring an alternative tank then for some bosses you'd need to bring other characters to support them... meaning you need 2-3 characters working together to accomplish what Feca can do singlehandedly. That's an extra level of difficulty and complexity for basically zero benefit, because the Feca option is always more efficient.
In theory Sacrier offers tanking + damage, but specializing for tanking kills you damage output so in practice it doesn't really work. Specializing for tanking doesn't diminish your ability to give out buffs however, and through those buffs Feca can end contributing more to the team's damage output than a Sacrier would (whilst also giving other beneficial effects too).
And Feca is overall the most durable tank too. And the invulerabilities let Feca ignore special boss mechanics or save teammates from imminent death.
Also a lot of Feca's special tools kinda override game mechanics. Instead of giving people armour, Feca can make people invincible so they would survive even 10 billion damage. Instead of giving people a dodge boost it gives unlockable so they could dodge even 10 billion lock. Feca provocation is -20mp, so normal MP chip loses effectiveness on high MP enemies but provocation straight up immobilizes enemies even if they had a lot of MP. So I just think tools like this are always going to scale better in the endgame.
I don't think you need 5 or more tanks in your game (3 or maybe 4 viable tanks should be fine) but I do think alternative tanks do need to have some advantages over each other. Currently Feca is the best tank for everything - some bosses it's the best tank by a big margin, some bosses it's the best tank by a smaller margin but in every scenario it's your best option. And part of the problem here is that feca is too effective at it's job.
Suggestion (just going for the simplest brute force option here, so I accept it might have unfortunate side effects elsewhere)
Feca teleportation only teleports themself. Drop cooldown to 1 turn normally. Remove Temporal Flux passive and give some buff enhancing passive instead.
Feca leather plating no longer increase enemy movement costs when locked, instead it does the old "enemies take increase damage, deal less damage to allies" effect.
Increase range on tonic glyph. Make meteor into a non-LOS spell.
Move the increased enemy movement costs onto Sacrier when multiarm is active. Switch multiarm lvl1 to activating at 60% HP instead of 40%. Reduce multiarm damage bonus.
Lower costs on lightspeed or give sacs a cheap disengage move so they can break lock so they can position enemies more effectively.
Effect
Feca loses it's ability to position bosses efficiently and can't lock down 5MP bosses for free, but it has increased buffing abilities and remains the most durable tank. It will need positioning support now but I still think it would be a good option for maximizing your tank's durability or for maximizing your team's damage output.
Sac can now lock 5MP bosses without needing MP chip, but they have to manage their HP carefully. Multiarm is active when below 60% HP, so if they get healed slightly too much they could lose it and a boss would become mobile again. Better mobility would help sac be able to position bosses without support.
For panda, what about giving them range chip whilst generating shields?
I think this would give tanks distinct strengths and weaknesses.
Feca would be the most durable and bring good support/buffing abilities. But it would need positioning support.
Sac would be the best locker and bring positioning abilities. But it would need careful HP management.
Panda I haven't really thought about in detail but I think there's an available niche for debuffing bosses rather than buffing allies.
I also think this makes endgame bosses more dangerous in general (and arguably more skill based than gear based). Currently when you have a good organized team most endgame bosses are just buckets of HP that you park next to a wall and use for target practice whilst they flail impotently at a nigh invulnerable tank. With my suggestion then if you mismanaged MP chip whilst using a Feca tank then the boss might escape and you might have difficulty respositioning them. Or if you were using a sac tank and you mismanaged your HP a boss might escape and do some damage.
I'm very happy the Sac's are getting the revamp although i Main an Osa. A friend of mine who has nearly all the classes at 200 mentioned that just handing out Leather Plating is a quick fix to allow others to tank.
If Trank had a self-stab he'd be a decent tank. |
CLEVER version 2.00 Available ----------------------------- The latest version of CLEVER, the Command Line Entrez VERsion, is now available by gopher and ftp. CLEVER 2.00 has 2 major changes since the the previous release of CLEVER; it now permits access to the taxonomy information that first appeared in release 10 of the Entrez Database. In addition, CLEVER now permits more powerful boolean search capabilities (specifically the NOT function). program written by NCBI is a tool that uses windows, menus, and a pointing device; since not everyone has computers or terminals with graphics capabilities, clever was written to do the same work using only text input).

I meant to post much earlier this week, but things have been a bit hectic as we're getting a new driveway. It's amazing what a novelty a simple thing like a driveway can be when you haven't had one. We're going from horrible dirt and rocks, to nice smooth(er) coloured concrete with inlaid black stones. I'll be able to go and check the mail without needing to put shoes on! Of course, Steve wanders around everywhere in bare feet, but my dainty little lady feet are a bit on the pansy side.
Shadow has been on house arrest to make sure we don't get big pawprints in our fresh concrete, though he doesn't seem to mind the incarceration. He's just been lying at the window with his head on the windowsill watching the concreters. They're lucky they didn't have to start on Monday because it was 35oC!! In Winter. Hooray, heatwave (not). I was feeling a bit ripped off that my favourite season had ended far too early, but now it's passed 8am and it's still 9oC so there's hope for me yet! (Even if Qld winters are kind of lame.)
We have new neighbours! Though I only had one photo left on my camera this morning so all I got was a bum shot:
The little things all swam away from me once I got near. But I thought this photo was funny. I'll try to get a better photo in the morning because oh, they're cute.
{And, the Rising Museum Board is going well. Really well. I just want to get a bit more done before I post a pic.}

Thoughtful
visions
By Anuradha Samarajiva
A moment in time is, by its very nature, brief. But that isn’t
a concern for the students of Gateway International School, who
hope to provide an entire evening of entertainment with their show
A Moment in Time.
Three
dramas are planned: Ert’s Wonderful Machine, Childhood, and
Alice in America Land. They all sound completely different, but
the show’s director Sashi Mendis de Costa says there’s
a common theme binding them all together. That idea is, “the
importance of creativity and imagination.”
Ert’s
Wonderful Machine, says Sashi, is the story of an imaginative child
named Ert, who constructs a wonderful machine. This play deals most
obviously with the evening’s creative theme. Childhood revolves
around the theme of parent and child relationships. Alice in America
Land is a modern version of the classic Lewis Carroll story: fantasy
performed with “funny and weird characters.”
With
three plays lined up, it’s no surprise that the cast comprises
eighty students. What is unusual is that both junior and senior
school students are taking part in the same production. With a cast
ranging in age from ten to nineteen, Sashi feels that “It’s
very nice bringing the two together,” and she hasn’t
had any problems doing so.
It’s
very important for the parents to appreciate what their children
do when they take part in productions like this one. Sashi believes,
“the very fact of getting on stage and performing gives children
so much confidence,” and she’s very grateful to all
the parents who supported their children and the show. The director
also appreciates the support she’s received from the school,
saying, “I’m grateful Gateway stresses on drama and
creative arts.”
Of
the experience Sashi says, “It’s enjoyment and fun teamed
up with hard work.” The show features not only acting, but
also singing and dancing. The choreographer Kapila Palihawadana
is a “very innovative dance teacher,” says Sashi. Students
help with the backstage work, and the show wouldn’t be complete
without costumes and sets. “Some of the costumes are very
elaborate because of the fantasy involved, and when we needed to
go overboard, we did,” smiles Sashi.
In
the end, she says, “It’s about participation.”
She thinks an imaginative production like this one is essential
for children because “kids have such packed lives, and parents
don’t recognise the importance of free time to be creative.”
So she hopes that A Moment in Time, even if it lasts for just an
evening, will make people realise the importance of creativity in
their lives, and hopefully inspire them to make time for it.
A
Moment in Time plays at the Lionel Wendt at 7.00 p.m. on August
7 and 8. Tickets can be purchased at the Lionel Wendt or Gateway
International School. |
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. --John Swinton, 19th Century NY Times journalist (Source: Labor's Untold Story, by Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais)
The great political theater, otherwise known as our political conventions, is over. The way Ron Paul and his delegates were treated made me pause to think about how the mainstream media (MSM) covered him. I happened to be in Maine when the Ron Paul delegation was unseated by the RNC. The RNC did not want Paul to have a 5-state plurality of delegates that would have insured his name would be put into nomination for President.
The MSM basically made this story be nothing more than a footnote in the theatrical production. Millions of Ron Paul supporters know that the MSM basically left him out of the equation for the entire campaign. In other words, the Ron Paul constituency learned what journalist John Swinton said more than 100 years ago.
But how many other constituencies have learned the lessons of Ron Paul and John Swinton?
If you are a Native American that has not fully assimilated or lost his/her identity, would you not know that the MSM has largely marginalized your history, and your present circumstances as well? On my recent trip to the great Northeast, I traveled from Illinois (a vestige of the Indian word, “irenwe-wa” meaning “speak the regular way”) to Niagara Falls (Iroquois for “thundering water”) and on to Maine, which was only inhabited by the Algonquin Indians until the 1600s.
My trip was breathtakingly beautiful, but the long forgotten Native American names and villages along the way reminded me what Gore Vidal said: “USA stands for the United States of Amnesia.” MSM has been obliging in forgetting history, and even made its destruction sound noble with phrases like “Manifest Destiny.” MSM lost the confidence and trust of the Native American constituency long ago.
An overwhelming majority of blacks in America have dropped out of the MSM target audience. One in three black men end up in prison. Less than 30 percent of blacks vote. I think it is safe to say that the MSM has lost the trust of a majority of this constituency, from conservative blacks like Louis Farrakhan and his followers to progressive voices like Cornel West.
If you are a progressive who hangs on every word Noam Chomsky says, you will not find him anywhere on MSM news outlets. If you lean left… really left… there is no place within the MSM matrix to satisfy you. You understand quite well what Swinton was talking about.
If you are one of the 7 million Muslims in the US, you know how the MSM implies association with Al Qaida if you dare question drone strikes killing civilians. The NY Times has done this on more than one occasion, which has helped out its handlers. MSM has never earned the trust and confidence of this constituency, so it could not lose that trust.
If you are a real conservative Tea Party member (as opposed to the neo-conservative Tea Party hack) or a liberal Occupy Wall Street protester, you know how the MSM has marginalized you as fringe groups and most likely have you wearing a tin foil hat. The MSM has lost the trust and confidence of these two constituencies.
If you are a person who questions why a private bank (Federal Reserve) is allowed to print money and earn interest from printing trillions of dollars, interest paid by the government earned from taxing citizens, you are marginalized as a “conspiracy theorist” for even asking why we pay taxes to pay interest to a private bank. Meanwhile, the General Accounting Office (GAO) released a partial audit of the Fed and discovered that $16 TRILLION was given to banks, not the amount reported by the MSM (see page 131 of the report for details.)
If you are one of the 57 percent who believe that Kennedy was not killed by a lone gunman or 52% of the population who questions the official version of 9-11, the MSM labels you a kook and tries to marginalize you. Simply put, these constituencies no longer believe or trust the MSM, which continues to promote the official story.
If you hold strong anti-war views, where do you go for information? The NY Times? Not a chance. It promoted the Iraq war as if it were on the Pentagon payroll. Forget what Fox says about the NYT; both serve the same masters. The liberal publication The Guardian recently broke a story how the NY Times colluded with the CIA. Real anti-war constituencies long ago moved away from counting on the MSM to give useful information.
Another former, NY Times journalist and Pulitzer Prize summarized why the MSM is in decline:
There are many more constituencies for whom the MSM has lost trust. In the past, there was really no place for these constituencies to turn. But the Internet has allowed these groups to find and nurture each other. And what has become of the national news outlets?
They are in precipitous decline. With each attempt to marginalize yet another group, newspapers and national news outlets like CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News and CBS News have all become a shell of their former selves. They increasingly carry the water for their masters. They give quote approval for Obama and Romney camps. They withhold stories on demand.
When the most trusted name in US journalism is an American comedian, Jon Stewart, the joke may be on us. The MSM is in full decline because it has lost constituencies one at a time. I could have continued with naming more, but I cut it off in the interest of time. Many of the ones listed may disagree with each other, but they are all in agreement that trust in MSM has been lost, and they have all found alternatives. |

- 3'm afraid I can't let you do that Nanashifox.
I'm confused. Let me do what? And who is Nanashifox? O_o
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That looks fun to fly! Kudos on keeping everything proportionate, symmetrical, and overall looking great!
Since the metal plating shade of grey is kinda trying to blend with the grey fuselage of the fighter, it would be a good idea to make the background either a black tarmac kind of look (so the machine pops out more) or to give the fighter a paint job for the same effect.
In a futuristic setting of stealth-defeating detection, I'm sure blending in to the blackness of space is the last of their worries. :P
The 3-Dimensional attention to detail all over the Thermal Radiators are really eye-grabbing, and I'm loving the plausible details all around the cockpit. Like the Rescue release latch, the cut of certain panels, it all looks great.
The idea of the Omnidirectional Engine Pods on the very tip of these slender Predator / Reaper Drone looking wings raises concern of the payload capacity of the wings. They're long and slender, and I'm sure they're made of intense materials. SPACE materials, even...but its really the only detail in the design that I'm curious about.
Granted, in an animation, it would frantic and awesome as it's doing spins and maneuvers, absolutely TESTING the wing's ability to not snap off...and then it needs to abruptly pitch down, so the pilot is blinded by a pillar of fire shooting upward right in front of his line of sight...hope it's not leaking fuel, or catches on fire, because now the pilot is terminally IFR for the rest of the mission.
Also, there's an additional set of wings or kind of "fins" that are in between the Thermal Radiators and the cockpit. They're prominently featured in the top view, I think I can see where they end, aligned with the rear "X-wing" stabilizers, but on the side view...I suppose they're mostly hidden behind the top OmniDirectional Pod, but they don't seem to lend any significant stability to the design. If they were shaped to look more like a long-range comm or sensor array, that would lend strength to the design, in my opinion... wings have no function in space but a surface. There's no airflow, and no real need to generate lift. It's got plenty of thrust to compensate for that! :D
Great design! Reminds me of many a cool sci-fi. Can't wait to see it animated!
What a thoughtful and comprehensive critique. Thanks!
In response, I'll try to address some of your concerns.
First, the engine pods. The idea is to move the thrusting units as far away from the center as possible in order to gain a mechanical advantage over moving the ship in zero gravity. You'll notice that the 'wings' or engine booms are actually quite thick compared to an aircraft wing, as they have no aerodynamic needs. To add to your concerns though, you should also know that the wings hinge back 90 degrees for storage, so the structural challenges in this area are vast for sure.
The rapid pitch thrusters are a serious design flaw that I chose to leave as is. Without going into too much detail, these fighters are generation two, but are still the result of a VERY rapid development cycle with very little testing (The colonies needed some sort of defense craft while capitol class ships are being built). Additionally, these thrusters are actually high-energy ion engines, which emit very little visible light when operational. Fire is a non issue, as the cockpit is the only pressurized and oxygenated location, and the engines use an electrical fuel source.
The craft is actually designed to undergo some basic atmospheric flight to facilitate emergency landings, so you'll notice the wingletts actually do have flaperons. The computer controls all flight surfaces during atmospheric flight because of the crafts inherent instability (much like a B2).
Finally, I'm kinda torn on how I want the craft 'painted.' I feel the somewhat boring grey lends to the fact that the craft is rapidly developed (You'll be happier with the MkIII in this area).
You're welcome to PM me if you feel a need to respond to any of the above, and again, thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Though I have responded to most of it, I am not ignoring the concerns you've raised. |

Chicago Blackhawks Flourishing in the Year of The Crow
“Crow!”
It’s the call every Chicago Blackhawks fan makes when goalie Corey Crawford comes up with a big save. It’s a nickname his teammates gave him.
It’s also what every critic—myself included—has been eating steadily as the season’s progressed.
Crawford’s 3-0 shutout of the Minnesota Wild last night gave the Hawks a comfortable 3-1 lead in the series and provided fans with an adult dose of confidence. He now leads all playoff goalies in Goals Against Average (1.39), Save Percentage (.949), and is the only goalie who can boast that his team has yet to give up a power play goal.
What’s more, he’s accomplished this “out on an island,” knowing his backup, Ray Emery, has been on the shelf for the last two weeks with a lower-body injury. Is this the same guy who threw up all over himself in the playoffs last year versus the Phoenix Coyotes?
Me thinks not.
“We just go about our business. We’ve had that calm, collective confidence all year long,” said Crawford last night. “I think we definitely showed that tonight.”
When Crow is using words like “calm” and “collective confidence” in playoff post-game interviews, other teams’ coaches should be terrified. After all the knock on this guy from the start was that he was a bit of a head case and that he tended to get too worked up when things weren’t going his way.
Well so much for that.
Even worse for opponents is the smothering defense which is making his job so easy that analysts are now using adjectives like “simple” to describe postseason shutouts. Crawford was perfect on the 25 shots he faced last night thanks to 26 blocked shots by his defensemen. Many of these came on the power play and Crow was quick to acknowledge as much.
“Our PK definitely won us the game tonight,” Crawford said. “So many power play situations for them and we just kept our cool, we didn’t freak out at the refs or lose it on each other—we just stuck with it, played hard. Obviously we came through.”
Indeed you did, sir. Indeed you did.
So let’s just assume—and yes I’m familiar with what happens when one assumes anything—that the Hawks move on to the second round: who’s on deck?
Well thanks to the NHL’s system of re-seeding so that the highest seed always plays the lowest, Chicago is likely to play the sixth seed San Jose Sharks in the next round unless the seventh seed Detroit Red Wings can take two of the final three from the Anaheim Ducks.
Either way I’ll take Crow and heavy odds in the next round. He beat the Sharks in his only appearance against them this season, and in the event that the evil Red Wings upset the Ducks—which would be phenomenal luck for the Hawks considering their struggles against Anaheim—they’d be forced to test that luck versus a guy who gave up only five goals against them en route to a 4-0 season sweep.
So bring on the Red Wings. Or the Sharks. It doesn’t really matter.
This is the year of the crow.

"When we walk into a room the light turns on. When we approach a store the door opens. When we enter our home the thermostat changes the temperature in the house, the intelligent assistant starts to play our favorite music, our mobile phone reminds us to take out the garbage, and our loved ones are notified that we are safely home, wherever they might be; all happening at the same time. In our workplaces a multiplicity of digital tools and artifacts are at our command or struggling for our attention, creating a symphony or disharmony of interactions involving us.
We interact with our environments today in numerous ways, sometimes by just being there or moving or waving our hands, sometimes by precise commands and actions, sometimes with focused attention and direction, sometimes half unaware and lacking a clear addressee or aim, sometimes acting on isolated cues from some specific source, sometimes on overall impressions generated by the environment as a whole. Interaction and interactivity is no longer necessarily something that takes place between a person and a single, clearly defined artifact and interface. A new kind of diffused or confused interaction has become an everyday experience for many of us and we are gradually getting more used to it.
We have in previous writings introduced and explored the concept of faceless interaction and its potential consequences (Janlert & Stolterman, "Things That Keep Us Busy - the elements of interaction"); we have also extensively discussed multiparty interaction and the ensuing problems of interactivity clutter: occlusion, chaos, and distraction.
If you want to read more about this, you can find that in our book in the final chapter (Janlert & Stolterman, "Things That Keep Us Busy - the elements of interaction").

Wymondham suffered a narrow home defeat after a superb spectacle for the many spectators who had turned up to see the game.
Further illnesses, injuries and unavailabilities saw a much changed home side take to the pitch under captain Dane Canning.
Cantabs’ pack is a big, solid and experienced unit and Wymondham knew they would have problems at the scrum and line-out. But their play in the loose, defence and through the attacks led by the backs was often a joy to watch.
Cantabs immediately exerted pressure with their pack and after five minutes scored an unconverted try
Wymondham reacted by using quick loose ball to set their backs running and one such move saw Alex Wigney dart over for an unconverted try to bring the scores level at 5-5.
With a man advantage Wymondham then went ahead when Billu Graham-Park scorched through to score a try, converted by Jonny Payne, who then slotted over a penalty to make it 15-5.
Cantabs’ forwards were still winning ball at setpieces and eventually managed a good move of their own to score an unconverted try to make it 15-10 at the break.
Cantabs started the second half determined to exert pressure again through their forwards and scored a pushover try to level the scores.
Nicky Ferns returned to the fray after a long absence before a first mistake in defence by Wymondham saw the visitors break through to score a try under the posts which was converted and put them in front at 15-22.
Harry Anderson-Brown replaced Auden Airdrie, who had worked his socks off all afternoon, and his fresh legs were used to keep up the attacking momentum. Eventually a flowing move through the hands from a quick pass from Payne saw the ball pass to Ashley Harrop to score in the corner to bring it back to 20-22. The conversion was just short and although the home side tried to assert more pressure in the last two minutes the visitors held on.
To show the fine margins in this division Cantabs moved to third with this win while Wymondham stayed near the bottom and yet in two matches between the two sides this season Cantabs have only scored five more more points. |

For college students across Alabama, Spring Break 2015 is over. This year, I seemed to hear more negative about spring break than I have in recent years – from the horrific shooting in Panama City to a report that seemed to go viral (at least in my Facebook news feed!) from Fox News about the horrible things that take place on spring break excursions.
While I don’t want to downplay those things, I want to share some good that happened during spring break. Hundreds of students connected with Baptist Campus Ministries and church collegiate ministries across Alabama used Spring Break to serve in missions endeavors across the U.S.
I’ve received numerous reports of how God used spring break missions in the lives of students:
- Many students sensed a calling/desire to serve God in longer-term missions experiences and have applied to serve this summer.
- Many students were challenged to share their faith in ways they never had before – or possibly shared their faith for the first time!
- Many students are seeking to take the tools they learned in various missions efforts and bring them back to their campus to make an impact in their “Jerusalem.”
Many students (as with many of us) will never know the impact they made in the communities they served. I want to leave you with two stories about impact that was made through the efforts of these students.
Below is an email from a lady who encountered students who served in Gulf Shores over the break:
My daughter and I were lucky enough to encounter your ministry today on the beach at Gulf Shores.
Ironically we moved to that portion of the beach because the part of the beach we are staying on is dominated by frat parties, loud music and general debauchery. To have someone paint my daughters face, wrap her hair and speak to her about Jesus was so refreshing and unexpected – not to mention the polar opposite of what we had just experienced!
Also, during the entire duration (almost four hours) of our visit today, a group of your students were patiently witnessing to man next to me.
My experience today restored my hope for our youth and during a time I was so disheartened from what I had just witnessed. THANK YOU!
And, for nearly a 100 students who served in Miami with Christ Centered Church, they can know that God used their efforts to see the largest gathering ever on Easter Sunday. Jason Hill, with Christ Centered Church, sent me an email that said,
Derek (lead church planter) and I were just discussing how strategically effective it was to have the teams here just before Easter. Btw…We had our largest attendance ever: 329 with 9 salvations.
I rejoice in these reports and God’s work in and through students. While there certainly are stories of the negative impact of spring break, I hope you can agree with me in there is certainly some good news to share about Spring Break 2015! |

GENERAL Motors (GM) has announced the Holden brand will be retired from the Australian and New Zealand markets with local design and engineering operations to be wound down by 2021.
In a statement issued today, GM international operations senior vice president Julian Blissett said the decision was the result of numerous factors and that the choice had not been made lightly.
“Over recent years, as the industry underwent significant change globally and locally, we implemented a number of alternative strategies to try to sustain and improve the business, together with the local team,” he said.
“After.”
The Red Lion has been struggling sales-wise ever since the demise of its local manufacturing operations in 2017, with the Opel-sourced ZB Commodore failing to fire in the Aussie market, chalking up just 5915 sales last year – a 34.6 per cent decrease on 2018.
In December last year, Holden decided to axe both the Commodore and Astra nameplates from it line-up to become a solely pick-up and SUV brand.
GM Holden interim chairman and managing director Kristian Aquilina said the brand would “work closely with all stakeholders to deliver a dignified and respectful transition”.
“Today’s announcement will be felt deeply by the many people who love Holdens, drive Holdens and feel connected to our company which has been with us for 160 years and is almost ubiquitous in our lives,” he said.
“Unfortunately, all the hard work and talent of the Holden family, the support of our parent company GM and the passion of our loyal supporters have not been enough to overcome our challenges.”
While local design and engineering operations will be wound down by next year, Holden has assured customers and current vehicle owners that warranties and servicing offers made at time of sale will be honoured and that it would provide servicing and spare parts for at least 10 years.
Impacted Holden employees will reportedly be provided separation packages and employment transition support while its aftersales network will continue to handle any recalls or safety-related issues that arise.
According to GM, its local growth strategy will now be focused on the specialty vehicles business – vehicles like the imminently arriving C8 Corvette.
“Through its proud 160-year history, Holden has not only made cars, it has been a powerful driver of the industrialization and advancement of Australia and New Zealand,” Mr Blissett said.

The village of Bethlehem is scheduled to dedicate a new war memorial honoring those who fought in and are fighting the War on Terror.
Mayor Garrett ''Rhett'' Daniel said he came up with the idea after realizing there were no local memorials honoring those who have served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars fought during the past 10 years.
The dedication is slated for 7 p.m. Saturday at Community Park. The memorial, which already has been erected, is located beside the park's Vietnam memorial situated near the park's miniature golf course.
Photo by Shelley HansonThe dedication of the new War on Terror memorial is planned for 7 p.m. Saturday in Bethlehem’s Community Park.
During the ceremony, Daniel said local veterans are expected to speak including Wheeling resident Michael Novotney, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran. Daniel said the memorial was made possible by donations from individuals and the Ohio County Commission. It cost about $14,000 and includes scenes such as mountains, an F-15, a Humvee and a soldier.

Sheep farmer Jerry McCarthy sought to find a solution for after he noticed that his sheep were becoming resistant to the usual showers, doses and pour-ons. The Kerryman also used to travel around the country driving trucks for different business and noticed that sheep everywhere were scratching.
He would see wool on fences and hedges all over the place and he knew that the sheep were losing their wool by scratching their bodies, trying to rid themselves of irritation.
Solution
The innovative farmer saw that a man called Neil Fell had started mobile sheep dipping in the UK after returning from Australia and Jerry thought “I could make that”.
The Kenmare native figured that he could buy a truck and get an engineer to convert it into something that he could use as a mobile dipping pool.
Jerry worked closely with Neil and learned from his business model as Neil is hoping to dip 200,000 sheep this year as he completed 175,000 in the latter half of last year alone.
He went ahead and purchased a 2008, MAN truck from the UK and proceeded to present it to a number of engineering companies for conversion – they all turned him away and even said that he was ‘mad’.
Not one to be defeated, he simply took his €130,000 over to the UK and had his bespoke dipping machine created there.
How it works
“If you imagine going into a chipper and you put the chips into the basket and lower it down into the grease – that’s how my system works,” said Jerry, with his rather clear explanation.
“They climb up the back of the trailer and into a 4 X 8 ft cage that holds on average 10 sheep. It’s all hydraulic and we just lower them down into it,” he continued.
While they are in the cage, the sheep are submerged for approximately one minute. Jerry controls the hydraulics from a button on the side of the machine and he will submerge briefly the sheep’s heads two or three times.
Afterwards, the sheep leave the cage and stand towards the front of the lorry for a few minutes while they drain off and they will then leave the vehicle to the left or right, depending on the farm and it’s all over.
“I have somewhere around 20,000 sheep put through the machine since I put the truck on the road last September.”
Jerry will get through about 200 sheep per hour. “I dipped 2,000 lambs in nine hours before Christmas; they were store lambs weighing about 35kg each,” he smiled.
Challenges
One challenge that Jerry faces with his mobile service vehicle is filling the tank with 3,000-litres of water. The machine itself is fully fitted with pumps so that it can use water from a nearby lake, pond or other water sources.
“A lot of farmers that know that I’m coming, and they prepare ahead by having their water tanks full up for me,” he said appreciatively.
“You can shower 100 sheep on 15-litres of water. I’ve 300 sheep done this morning and I lost 700-litres of water on them animals,” he acknowledged.
It is Jerry’s argument; however, that soaking the sheep will garner the most effective results and that is where the plunge pool has the advantage.
Another challenge for the new dipping business is that when people see the Kerry registration plate, they believe that Jerry won’t go as far north as people might expect, but he says that he will travel anywhere.
“I'm up in Clifden and Westport this week now and it doesn’t matter how big or small your flock is, I’ll get to you alright”, he said with assurance.
Accreditation
It is believed that Tagline Mobile Dipping Service is the only one of its kind in the country. Jerry is also the only commercial dipper in Ireland approved by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
Jerry has acted on behalf of the department on a small number of animal welfare cases and he is also Bord Bia-approved, which means that he is entitled to give VAT receipts.
The vehicle also incorporates a tag reader which means Jerry can supply a list of electronic IDs of the treated sheep.
The entrepreneur from Kenmare seems to have tapped into a market with great potential for success. He is already a busy man, rearing a flock of 40 pedigree Texels and 30 Mules.
He lives in Kenmare with his children - Danny (5) and Ava (6) and is currently preparing for the wedding of the year with his fiancée Joanne.

I ran on Tuesday to see if I could ease myself in for Pontesbury, and also if I was fit enough to do a BG Leg 1 support on Saturday. Answers the following morning were yes and no!
I set off with the usual Tuesday night crew, up Lightspout Hollow to Boiling Well. Up here, we parted company - I wanted some soft smoothish ground to try out on and the rest of the guys were after some climbing, so they went down Ashes and then apparently up to Barrister's Plain, straight down again and then back over Yearlet.
I went on up to the top of Pole Bank, then to Pole Cottage and on down the lovely side valley from there into Ashes. I saw some spawning trout in the gully under Yearlet, and then a heron down by the flat grassy area under Ashlet. I had a chat with another fellrunner at the bottom of the Hollow, then ran back to Church Stretton by way of the woods and Cunnery Road, arriving just after the main group had got back.
A nice steady controlled run with little pain, although I was pretty stiff on Wednesday morning. The route was about 8.7 miles and 1,400' of climbing in around an hour and a half.
Hey up Jim. It sounds like a lovely way to celebrate the solstice. |

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Eleven young people, mostly teenagers, who were hunting small animals died in a fire that swept through a sugarcane field in Venezuela, authorities said Friday.
Investigators said those who died were trying to catch rabbits and iguanas fleeing a controlled burn Thursday afternoon before strong winds drove the flames in their direction, trapping them.
Attorney General Tarek William Saab said in a national TV broadcast that residents of the community have hunted animals that way for decades.
The fire got out of control in Cagua in Aragua state, 110 kilometers (68 miles) southwest of the capital of Caracas.
Authorities are investigating. |

Lebanese Wedding Traditions
When it comes to weddings, the Lebanese are known for their flamboyant, brazen and vivid wedding traditions, customs and ceremonies.
They like it loud and celebrate a wedding with ultimate pomp and show. They party like there in no tomorrow. The very cheerful people that they are, their bliss and mirth is evident in their extravagant celebrations. Dance, music, food and merry-making are an integral part of any Lebanese wedding function and they believe in the concept of ‘More the merrier’.
Fun at heart, a Lebanese wedding is an absolute delight to be a part of. Here are some of the interesting facets of a Lebanese wedding.
1. Early birds
The wedding traditions and celebrations to a Lebanese wedding commence much before the actual wedding function. Festive engagements, pre-wedding parties, gift exchanges and a lot more happen prior to the wedding and they end with the reception, post the wedding.
2. Not for the ‘week-hearted’
In some parts of Lebanon, the wedding affair constitutes 7 days. On one special day, the groom’s family and relatives escort the bride to the streets to proclaim the news of their wedding to everyone in the countryside. At the end of the trail, the bride and the groom meets and stick some dough which is considered synonymous to consolidating their matrimony.
3. Fire on
Fireworks are an integral part of a Lebanese wedding. Arranged and executed by expert professionals, the skies light up in a multitude of hues and shades, adding glamour to the ceremonies. Innovative design patterns and shades are introduced timely to add charm to the occasion.
4. Zaffe
Zaffe is a tradition followed by the Lebanese wherein the bride and groom enter the ceremonial grounds and dance their way to the central point. A band of percussionist accompany them, playing the rhythm and notes in high pitches.
5. Cries of Joy
Zalaouta is a tradition at every Lebanese wedding. It is a high-pitched cry let out by the older Arabic and African ladies in the audience as an expression of their joy and best wishes to the couple.
6. Car Craze
During olden times, as the bride and groom walked on the streets, loud drums were played accompanied with the clanking of pots. This was to ward off the evil spirits and cast away the evil eye. In the modern days, this has been replaced by cars which honk loudly on the streets as the couple walks on.
7. Confetti and confectionary
As the bride and groom walks on the streets, the onlookers bless them by sprinkling confetti, rose petals and candied almonds.
8. Gourmet Dining
Food is an integral part of any celebration and with the Lebanese, they are exorbitant when it comes to feeding their guests. There is always a traditional three-course meal which is sumptuous.
9. Knifing it big
Cake cutting is a common tradition in most wedding ceremonies across the globe. In the olden days, it was customary to break the cake over the bride’s head as a symbol of her fertility. This has been replaced by the normal cake cutting ceremony these days. Nevertheless, the Lebanese have gone an extra mile in displaying their enthusiasm by replacing the conventional knife with a sword.
10. Dance till you drop
Dancing is at the heart of a Lebanese wedding. Right from when the bride and groom are entering, till the very end of the celebration, everyone is shaking a leg. Music and percussion plays all the time. Some weddings call for special belly dancers who dance to the hypnotic tunes which are sometimes Arabic, to enthrall the guests. The belly dancing is also symbolic of the bride transforming into a sensuous woman.
11. Long Night
While at most weddings, the bride and groom are sent away before it turns too late in the night, the Lebanese tradition calls for the couple to be present till the very end of all the celebration. They are expected to stay on and take part in all the dancing, partying and merry-making. It is considered disrespectful to the guests if the couple leave the party early and they have to stick on till the last guest also leaves.
12. Take your bride
As per the custom, the groom carries the bride back to their home or chamber after the day long haul of fun and celebration. It is considered as a sign of affection and also a precautionary measure to prevent the bride from tripping over long gown and heels.
13. Beg, borrow or kidnap
In some villages of Lebanon, the groom is customarily kidnapped on the previous day of the wedding. His whereabouts are kept hidden from the bride’s family who set out on a mission to find the groom! |
Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror
With the commercial release of Counter-Strike as a seperate game, the game industry saw that wizz-kids that created mods might actually bring some money to their pockets.
Hence came Microprose who took a look at the modcommunity and decided that Tactical Ops was a mod with possibilities as it resembled alot the over-popular Counter-Strike but with the graphics of Epic’s Unreal Tournament engine.
So here’s Tactical Operations, a fully commercial product with a couple of extra features (skins, maps) but still compatible with the original mod which is available for free on the net. Although… Infogrames claims that both versions are fully compatible but already several reports of problems and version conflicts between the mod and the game have already surfaced.
Let’s first talk about the game : It’s intended to be multiplayer so don’t expect storylines or anything. If you really want to play on your own, the possibility is there but the bots are a bit too clever and most of the time have great weapons. Not to mention that while you try to play tactical, the gameplay is so fast that staying alive is already quite an achievement as bots tend to charge at full speed at you while shooting bullets faster than Superman can fly. Sniping is not really an option if you catch my drift. Also they’re programmed in such a way that they keep going to the same points in the maps so that you can expect a small meatfeast at always the same locations.
There’s a choice between 2 teams, Terrorists and Special Forces (what a surprise), with each team having several objectives to accomplish. Special force will for instance have to liberate hostages while terrorists have to make sure they don’t. Other missions can be like Special Forces defending a weapon or area or stuff like that. Each time the opposite team of course has to do exactly the opposite of the other team.
Every game is played in 2 rounds and each round you’ve got only 1 life. If you die, you stay floating around as an observer until the round is finished.
Every time you achieve a goal, you get to buy new stuff like weapons, armor, ammunition etc.
Amongst these are helmets, bulletproof vests, grenades, flash bangs, night googles and over 20 weapons going from pistols to the almighty M60 which is very handy to make dogfood out of your opponents.
As said before, the gameplay is extremely fast and I sometimes even wonder what the “Tactical” in Tactical Operations stands for. Players run around like chickens without a head at speeds even Ben Johnson couldn’t handle without a fair dose of steroids. This focus on speed is nice of course for fast-paced fun but defenitely looses the tactical and realistic part of the game.
Graphically everything is nice and shiny although both teams look alot like each other, resulting in teamkills. Light effects are good and overall Tactical Ops defenitely looks better than Counter-Strike. That’s of course the Unreal engine doing its work.
The sound is nothing special but adequate.
Overall I would say that Tactical Operations is a good mod for Unreal Tournament, but to pay for it is a bit much of the goodness if you ask me.

IL-2 Sturmovik The Sum Of All Fears |
Found April 07, 2013 on Shutdown Line:
PLAYERS: Cam Ward, Joni Pitkanen, Jeff Skinner, Justin Faulk, Tim Gleason, Tim Brent, Jamie McBain, Jordan Staal
TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes
TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes
It was only a month ago when the Hurricanes were in the driver's seat in the Southeast Division and basically all they needed to do was gain points in a little under 60% of their games to make it in. Since that point, the Canes have gone 3-11-1 and are now in the running for a top-five pick rather than a playoff spot. This free fall was something that even I didn't see coming because, as I have often reiterated here, the Hurricanes have been one of the better teams in the NHL at controlling puck-possession this season. This is usually what leads to success in the NHL, but not all the time. Goaltending, shooting luck and injuries are going to keep some good teams out of the playoffs this year because there are fewer games to make up for lost ground. The Hurricanes have been hit especially hard by the injury bug this year, but they've also seen a lot of other things go wrong for them as of late. This is evidenced by taking a look at their PDO over the season. For those who don't know what PDO is, it's the sum of a team's even strength shooting and save percentages and shows how lucky or unlucky a team has gotten. A PDO over 1.000 shows that a team has gotten very fortunate while a team with a PDO under 1.00 shows that they may have gotten a few bounces that have gone against them. Carolina's PDO has stayed stagnant for most of the year, but recently it has taken a nose dive. Looking at it over five-game segments shows this team's fall from grace pretty well. The Hurricanes PDO has been on a spiral downward over the last 15 games or so and it will probably be enough to knock them out of the playoffs. In a normal year, they could have been fine but there is less time to make up for lost ground with only 48 games. What they are going through now is nothing that other teams haven't experienced before. Both the Sharks and Kings went through spells of tough luck last season but were able to pull through and make the playoffs. Would the Hurricanes be able to do the same thing in a full year? Based on their underlying numbers, I would say they have a decent shot but there have been some things going on that have made an impact on their PDO. Injuries are probably the biggest. The Canes have gone through 37 players this year and many of the players they've lost have been those of high impact. This list is not limited to Cam Ward, Joni Pitkanen, Jeff Skinner, Justin Faulk and Tim Gleason. If you line up the Canes PDO to where each of these players got hurt, it reveals why they have struggled so much in certain parts of the season. The Hurricanes PDO has taken a few bounces over the season and you can see that most of the downturns have come after injuries. The first one came around game 13-14 when Jeff Skinner, Tim Brent, Jamie McBain, Tim Gleason and Joni Pitkanen were all hurt, forcing the Canes to call-up a few AHL-ers to fill in for them. That obviously led to some bad games and some losses along with it. Once they got healthy, the team began to see more bounces go in their favor. Even after Cam Ward sprained is MCL in game 21, the Canes were still not experiencing much bad luck because the first line was scoring on over 15% of the shots they took while Ellis/Peters were doing enough to hold the fort down...and then Justin Faulk got hurt and Ellis went down the next game. The Hurricanes were forced to start a third-string goaltender in front of a defense that was missing their best player. Simple logic should tell you that did not turn out well and the Canes PDO continued to sink along with the team's save percentage. Ellis' return on Tuesday night against Washington could have helped, but he has been very bad in all three of his starts and it's led to the Canes PDO continue to slide. Whether it's due to him being rushed back from his injury or simple regression is up for debate, but it's part of the reason why Carolina's season has continued to trend downward. Add in the top line experiencing some expected regression, Jordan Staal & Jeff Skinner not being able to buy a goal and the third and fourth lines not scoring at all and you have yourself a losing streak. So while PDO has played a role in Carolina's demise, it's been more than just bad puck luck that's doomed them. Injuries, a lack of scoring depth and not getting enough from the replacement players has also played a role. The team being "fragile" is also an issue since they tend to unravel whenever something bad happens, but that's something I have no idea how to fix other than by winning. Confidence usually follows results and nothing is going the Hurricanes way right now so I'm not sure what they can do about it this year other than stay the course and hope some bounces start to go their way. I'm not convinced that this team is as bad as their recent record, but in a shortened year, this kind of a slump is a killer and it happened to the Canes at the worst possible time. As for what happens the rest of the year, I think it could go either way. The Canes are still one of the better teams in the league at even strength and the goals will come if they continue to control puck-possession, but they are likely stuck with Peters and an injured Ellis for the rest of the season and that will impact how many games they win depending on how Peters plays. It's frustrating because this team should be a lot better than where they stand now but strange things tend to happen in a shortened year.

VERIFIED Went fishing on November 11, 2016
Beautiful and successful morning of fishing with Capt George. First fish was a 29” keeper snook and from then on we caught fish almost non-stop. Mostly snook, but a few reds, blowfish, ladyfish and jacks. George had plenty of live bait and we even got to throw some artificial lures. Lost a very large redfish on a top-water lure which was a blast!
All in all a fantastic trip and I would highly recommend the Fish Hunter!

There are often outdoor functions that need some kind of protection for the event. It could occur for an event at a local school event or for a corporate event, or even a smaller family gathering that needs the buffet area to be covered.
In these instances, you'll be required to recognize the differences between gazebos that are heavy-duty as well as instant marquees.
The movable marquee tent is often used to create outdoor displays. There is a wide range of individuals who could make use of these gazebos.
Image Source: Google
These gazebos that are heavy-duty are ideal for real estate agents who are promoting their properties during fairs and are ideal to host a family-friendly event in which seating arrangements and buffet arrangements are required.
It can also be that is used at fairs for commercial purposes where the entire event is conducted outdoors. In such instances, heavy-duty structures are beneficial as they offer ample space. They're also durable and are able to withstand elements, such as powerful wind gusts or sudden rainstorms.
There is also the option of having sides walls that are attached to them to provide more protection. This can also help keep the temperature in the gazebo by using heaters or fans.
Instant marquees don't require anyone else to put them up. When you lease them, they will come with a set of directions that are simple to follow. You will get them set up in just a few minutes. They are a great option for school parties, event planners wedding planners, firms of different sizes, marketing firms and churches, clubs, and DJs for outdoor events. |

Mansfield Town have opened up a section of the One Call Stadium this week to be used as a Covid-19 testing facility.
The Stags are playing their part in the battle against coronavirus, transforming the 1861 suite, located inside the Ian Greaves Stand, into a walk-in testing centre for members of the public who aren’t showing symptoms.
In partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care, the initiative is designed to drive down transmission rates using rapid turnaround tests supplied by NHS Test and Trace.
Around 1 in 3 people with coronavirus are asymptomatic, so could be spreading the virus without knowing they have it.
To identify those who are asymptomatic and prevent further spread, Mansfield Town is taking an active role to support the local community.
By providing a facility that administers rapid turnaround tests, The Stags are playing their part in reducing local transmission of the virus.
The club’s stadium director Paul Broughton said: “We’re proud to be able to support Mansfield District Council and the people of our area as part of a collective effort to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19.”
“As the Town’s professional football club, we’re determined to play our part during this pandemic by supporting the local authorities, the NHS, and our community.”
Testing will be available for asymptomatic individuals aged 18-65 years. No appointments are needed. |

FOR MONDAY: (2/6) Hard to take too much home over the weekend given wild tweets from Trump, saber-rattling with Iran and China back on the offensive raising interest rates. We still feel good about short gold next week and long dollars but don’t expect any easy trading in Feb and the wheels will start coming off soon probably by the week of Feb. 12.
MARCH E-MINI S & P 500
SWING TRADING RECOMMENDATION: Buy March e-mini S & P at 2285.75 with a 2279 stop.
S&P ANALYSIS FOR MONDAY: (2/6) S & P above 2287 is projecting 2295 with pullbacks to 2288.50 and 2285 probably holding on Sunday. First pattern completion within a few days to 2210 and then a pullback and then an extended target is up to 2317-8. We’re open to buying pullbacks on Sunday night or early Monday if nothing wild happens over the weekend.
OVERALL: We’re still open to seeing slight new highs or secondary highs toward 2310, Monday; topping Tuesday. |

Walking in the Light of God’s Word
Loving the Lord #2 – Listening to and Hearing God for Direction and Discernment
Proverbs 3:32 (NIV) reminds us that the Lord “takes the upright into his confidence.” Can you remember a time when you have sensed that the Lord has taken you into His confidence? Reflect on some of your own times with the Lord. It may have been while reading the Scriptures, praying, talking with another believer, singing songs of worship, or even just listening to His voice. Can you remember a moment when you experienced an almost tangible moment with God?
“Speak Lord, Your servant is listening.” 1 Samuel 3:8–9
“Mary…listening to the Lord’s word, seated at his feet.” Luke 10:38–42
“Shall I not share with Abraham what I am about to do?” Genesis 18:17
“His anointing teaches you all things.” 1 John 2:27
ENGAGE:
I remember having a personal encounter with God when . . .
Share prayers of thanksgiving with a partner or small group. Celebrate that He has revealed Himself to you and then pray with confidence that He will do it again. Ask Him boldly to take you into His confidence again! Speak, Lord. I am listening . . .

Vizient‘s sales team uses salesforce.com to generate these reports containing vital business information. Thirty-five analyst users need immediate access to salesforce.com for reporting purposes. Vizient wanted to minimize Salesforce license costs, as some of the user licenses were used strictly to view the data. A new and cost-effective solution was needed to support the business information needs, with the flexibility to make the data accessible and available to any analytics or business intelligence tool used by the relevant business units.
Vizient had an instance of Salesforce that several analysts used, increasing the licensing cost for every user. Vizient decided to use the Denodo Platform for data virtualization to replicate the external Salesforce environment into an internal reporting environment. The Denodo Platform’s ease-of-use and fine-grained security to the field level of each report made its adoption successful.
The Denodo Platform helped Vizient drive down licensing costs drastically by avoiding the expenses of several Salesforce licenses. Savings accrued to Vizient beginning right from the first year. At this rate of cost savings, Vizient will break even with their Denodo Platform investment within 1.5 years.
“The Denodo Platform will provide 350% ROI over 5 years and break even within 1.5 years of our initial project and will continue to deliver additional savings every year. Further, we plan to leverage the platform in our data lake project.”

I came across Fulton & Roark in a menswear shop a few years ago. I was instantly attracted to the packaging – the sleek design, the weight to it, and of course, the scents. All four of them. And I’ll be honest, I’m a tough woman to impress with cologne. Mark’s worn the same few as long as we’ve known each other, and I own only one perfume.
The Winston-Salem based company touched base recently and I was really excited to partner up to share their products with y’all, in case you’re not familiar. Here’s a brief introduction to their story and products, just in time for Father’s Day!
Founders:
Allen Shafer & Kevin Keller
Raised in:
Dallas, TX (Allen) and Atlanta, GA (Kevin)
Lives in:
Winston-Salem, NC
Tell everyone about the company:
We’re a men’s grooming company that is built around the way men operate. While that sounds like marketing speak, we really mean it. More than ever, men are really receptive to the idea of taking good care of themselves. But as we were getting started, we noticed that most of the companies out there were really just re-purposing women’s products
Why solid cologne:
This was our first product, because in a lot of ways, I think it’s the product that is in the most dire need of improvement. I’ve always really been a cologne fan, but trying to get a glass bottle of super-intensely scented liquid through the airport, in and out of your gym bag, etc. is a ridiculous process. It only takes one broken or leaky bottle in your life (especially if you’re away from home and smelling like “that guy”) to consider swearing off cologne entirely. Then there’s the application itself…that balancing act of smelling too strongly and not smelling at all. So, a solid, super-concentrated wax-based cologne in a metal container that can fit in your pocket solves a lot of those problems. You apply just a little to your pulse points, and you’re good. Plus, we designed the container so that it can go anywhere, from your dopp kit to a pair of dress pants (which makes for easy re-applying wherever you are).
And your other products:
From there, we launched several more products aimed at making getting ready for a guy a much more enjoyable experience. We’ve put out an ultra-slick shaving cream that hydrates your skin while you shave, which means your skin actually feels better after you shave. We launched a bar soap that has Moroccan clay and oatmeal flour to gently exfoliate your skin whether you use it with or without a washcloth. Most recently, we have launched individually packaged aftershave wipes which soothe and tone your skin after shaving…or actually anytime you’re need a little refresher. They feel nice and cool against your skin and have just the right amount of liquid to do the job. Looking ahead, we have a few more things in the works that we’re really excited about. Our plan is to keep creating products that are innovative in their own ways to make a guy’s grooming ritual a pleasure.
Cologne fragrances:
- Clearwater (Mark & Caroline’s favorite), reminiscent of the Clearwater River in Washington state, rushing from the Olympic Mountains toward the sea. Madagascan Geranium and Oak Moss complemented with notes of fresh water.
- Hatteras, named for Hatteras Island, a long thin island that stretches for nearly 50 miles known for being a fisherman’s paradise. Fresh and green with light spice.
- Tybee (Allen’s favorite), named for Tybee Island off the coast of Georgia known for its lack of pretense. A brisk white musk accented with rosewood and cedar.
- Shackelford (Kevin’s favorite), named for the Shackleford Banks – part of North Carolina’s famed Outer Banks. A sophisticated blend of sandalwood and warm amber.
- Ltd Reserve #2: Escalante, named for the incredible collection of rock formations in Southern Utah. Haitian Vetiver and Italian Bergamot.

PASADENA – On an alien world 400 trillion miles away, astronomers have found the strongest evidence yet that water exists on planets outside our own solar system.
Using the powerful eyes of NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, managed by JPL, the international team of researchers discovered the tell-tale signs of a hot, steamy atmosphere on planet HD 189733b.
“It’s not as wet as we are (on Earth), for sure,” said astronomer Sean Carey of the Spitzer Space Science Center at Caltech.
Still, he said, having the power to spot distant watery worlds “makes the likelihood of being able to find life much larger.”
Not on HD 189733b, though. Like all planets outside our solar system that have been discovered so far, HD 189733b is scorchingly close to its sun – its surface temperatures are around a blistering 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Like Jupiter or Saturn, it is also a gaseous, not terrestrial world.
HD 189733b is the second exoplanet on which astronomers believed they have seen traces of water, but “I think the difference here is that this study was very conclusive, the evidence is very strong,” said Dave Charbonneau, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics not associated with the study.
The team reached its conclusion by using Spitzer to watch as HD 189733b orbited in front of its sun. After observing how the starlight changed as it filtered through the planet’s atmosphere, the astronomers could see that water was present.
Only a handful of the more than 200 planets discovered outside our solar system ever line up with their stars in such a fortuitous and useful manner. But that handful, Carey said, “is enough that we can actually do a fair bit of science.”
Astronomers have already used Spitzer’s infrared-sensing cameras to study the temperature and chemistry of the atmosphere of several of those distinguished worlds.
And, said Drake Deming, an astronomer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, “in the back of everyone’s mind is that we could eventually use this technique on a habitable planet … where we really are interested about whether they have water and oceans.”

ok, here goes. Ive got a 98 Sportster custom that I recently bought. Because of the snow and ice I havent been able to ride much so when I recently got goos weather I took advatage of it. Rode about 110 miles , came to a stop and while going from 2nd to 3rd it made a whining noise from the clutch area. The clutch and chain were adjusted per posts and manual and I could see no obvious problem from the clutch cover or chain inspection cover, so I pulled the primary cover for further inspection...Now Im puzzled..there is nothing obvious to me as to what the problem could be and Im to new to Harleys to know what to look for.. Please help as to what to look for or give me a direction to research. There was nothing broken in the bottom of the cover and the oil didnt smell burned. |

Review of Christopher Bobonich (ed.), The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Ethics [Book Review]
The Classical Review 68 (2):305-308 (2018)
Abstract
‘Greek Ethics’, an undergraduate class taught by the British moral philosopher N. J. H. Dent, introduced this reviewer to the ethical philosophy of ancient Greece. The class had a modest purview—a sequence of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle—but it proved no less effective, in retrospect, than more synoptic classes for having taken this apparently limited and (for its students and academic level) appropriate focus. This excellent Companion will now serve any such class extremely well, allowing students a broader exposure than that traditional sequence, without sacrificing the class’s circumscribed focus. The eighteen chapters encompass some of what went before, and surprisingly much of what came after, those three central philosophers—including, for instance, a discussion of Plotinus and his successors, as well as a discussion of Horace. The book will therefore be useful in many different types of class on ethical philosophy in the ancient world. This Companion will be useful not only to students, but also to at least three further groups: specialists in ancient Greek philosophy (since some contributors advance significant new positions, e.g. R. Kamtekar on Plato’s ethical psychology and D. Charles on Aristotle’s ‘ergon argument’ as already implicitly invoking ‘to kalon’); scholars working in academic subjects adjacent to ancient Greek philosophy; and contemporary moral philosophers.

You'll see both forms used. Formally, 'your' is preferred.
The logic behind the formal use is sound to me- we don't use object pronouns in standard English before nouns, though 'me book' is used is regional variants, so a possessive adjective makes more sense before a gerund. However, the majority of users will use 'me'- from a descriptive perspective, it is hard to take the line that the majority are wrong. |
As with humans, moles can grow on the body of dogs. Formations expressed as flesh moles are usually harmless masses. Meat moles occur in dogs of all ages, including puppies, but are more common in older dogs. Some skin moles can become overgrown, causing discomfort to the dog. It is recommended that dog owners know what a mole is and how it differs from other types of kittens.
Meat moles in dogs are masses that can occur anywhere on the body. Meat moles are usually the same color as the dog’s skin. Measles are basically collagen and blood vessels covered with skin tissue. Meat moles sometimes form as a small mass and grow larger over time. Flesh me is not cancer and does not cause pain or suffering in any way. In dogs, the location of the mole is harmless as long as it does not disturb the dog.
Flesh Me Symptoms
If you see a mole-like mass on your dog, you should monitor it closely. Making a note of its size, shape and color or taking a photo makes it easy to follow the changes that occur over time. It is okay to wait for a routine examination to show the veterinarian when the meat mole does not change over time and your dog does not show signs of illness over time. However, if you notice changes in the mole, then you may need to visit the veterinarian without waiting for the routine check-up. Signs of mole growth in dogs include;
- Flat-surfaced masses and nodules on the skin,
- Types of masses hanging from the skin,
- The dog constantly licks or bites a part of its body. Flesh can make me bleed very easily. The dog’s licking or trying to bite, especially where the mole is, may cause injury.
Meat Me Types
Moles are usually soft, slightly higher than the skin, and skin-colored masses. Some look like warts, but moles are not completely round or dark like warts. Hair follicles and thick hair can sometimes be found in flat-surfaced masses. In addition, more than one mass can be seen in one place. Hairless masses are called hexal hamartomas, and hairy masses are called follicular hamartomas.
Some skin moles develop as peduncles. So the mole itself is attached to the skin by a thin stalk. The mole at the tip of the stem resembles a flat-topped mass. The only difference is that it hangs from the skin.
What Causes Meat Meat in Dogs?
“Why do dogs get meat out of me?” The answer to the question is not fully known. However, there are some theories as to why moles can occur. Friction of the surface, chronic irritation or trauma can lead to the formation of skin moles. Meat moles are more common in skin folds or pressure points of the body. For this reason, moles are frequently encountered on the elbows of dogs. However, these masses can be seen in any part of the body.
Another cause of moles in dogs is the overactivity of fibroblast cells, which produce fiber and collagen. However, it is thought that excessive bathing of dogs also leads to the formation of moles. Bathing your dog too much can lead to dry skin. It is thought that skin dryness leads to the formation of moles.
How Is Meat Meat Diagnosed in Dogs?
Meat moles can be easily confused with many other skin problems. For this reason, it is necessary to follow up for a while to make sure that the mass is meat mole first. This structure, which occurs when there is no change in the mole, is harmless. However, it is recommended to be examined by a veterinarian when changes such as shape, color or size occur. Usually, many things that cause skin problems can be confused with acne scars. Tick adhesions, warts, skin tumors, nipple moles are the conditions that are often confused with.
Tick
You can easily mistake a mole as a tick. When you hold and hang your dog to get rid of the tick, the dog does not react very well to this. That’s why even if it looks like a meat tick, you need to look as closely as possible first to be sure. Hanging the mole is very painful for the dog and can disturb the area where the mole is found.
Nipple
All mammals have nipples, and dogs are mammals. Male dogs also have nipples. Especially in small breed dogs, the nipple can be easily confused with mole. Dogs usually have 8 to 10 nipples. If you think you have found moles on your dog’s abdomen or chest, you should also check the opposite side. In dogs, the nipples are in the form of two opposite rows. In this way, it is possible to separate the nipple from the mole.
warts
Some dogs suffer from viral warts called papillomas. These warts are usually caused by harmless but contagious viruses. Papilloma is contagious from dog to dog. However, it is not transmitted from dog to human or to another animal. Warts originating from papilloma may pass spontaneously over time or may spread to different parts of the body. Although papilloma is frequently seen around the mouth in dogs, it can occur all over the body.
Skin Tumor
Malignant skin masses can occur in different ways. Some tumors can be quite similar to moles. It is very possible to underestimate a tumor that occurs on the skin as a “meat me”. That’s why you need to follow every audience you notice on a regular basis.
Methods of Treating Meat Me in Dogs
When you notice that your dog has moles, you should not try to remove them yourself. This is extremely painful for your dog and he may try to bite to protect himself. In addition, the probability of infection in the area is very high. Meat moles are generally harmless and do not require medical treatment. If the mass is large or bothers the dog, it can be treated. The treatment method usually varies according to the size of the mass.
Small size moles can be easily cleaned with local anesthesia. After the area is anesthetized, the mass can be frozen or burned. General anesthesia may be required to remove moles that are larger in size or in more sensitive areas. Stitches may be required in the area where the mole was removed after the surgery. During recovery, this area should be kept clean and dry.
After the flesh is taken, the cells inside can be sent to the laboratory for control purposes. With histopathology, it can be understood whether the mass is benign or malignant. It is also understood in this way whether the condition is viral or bacterial. Flesh me is very rarely malignant. Rarely, it can go away on its own over time.
Precautions That Can Be Taken to Avoid Meat Me
It is difficult to prevent the formation of moles in dogs. In general, keeping skin health high reduces the risk of any mass formation. If your dog’s hair is short or very soft, it is necessary to apply sunscreen before going out in the sun. Regular brushing to support the secretion of natural oils, removing weakened hairs prevents matting and tangling. Foods with poor quality and harmful ingredients also negatively affect the health of the dog’s coat and skin. Some foods cause excessive drying of the skin due to their content. It is one of the important things to choose high quality and good food for skin health. Finally, bathing the dog less often is also an option. Using moisturizing products for dogs after bathing will help reduce the risk of moles. |
Stimulus package means more money for you as well as NJ
Congress this week is expected to approve the American Rescue Plan put forth by President Joe Biden to help the nation rebound from the pandemic
The legislation would put an additional $1,400 in people's pockets while also providing additional support for the Garden State.
U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J. 6th District, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the Rescue Plan lays out a coordinated national strategy to crush the virus.
New Jersey would get about $6.5 billion in direct state aid with $3 billion for local governments and $2.5 billion for schools.
The package also extends unemployment benefits through August and boosts the extra weekly payment by $100, to $400 a week.
States also will share $7.5 billion for vaccine distribution as well as a billion dollars to promote public confidence in the vaccine.
“People, particularly low-income people [and] minorities are not confident to take the vaccine,” he said, which many have explained as being a result in historical distrust in the medical community because of racist treatment and notorious cases involving medical research such as the Tuskegee Study and Henrietta Lacks.
He noted there is also $25 billion to address healthcare disparities in low-income and minority populations.
The legislation also provides $46 bullion for testing and contact tracing and $1.75 billion for genomic sequencing to fight COVID-19 variants.
Pallone said $7.7 billon is included in the package to bring in additional public workers.
“We don’t have enough people to do all this, whether it’s the vaccine, whether it’s contact tracing. We’re going to hire another 100,000 people," he said.
“We have another $4 billion for mental health programs for treatment,” Pallone said. “We know that during this crisis that a lot of people are stressed out.”
He said a second piece of legislation to be put forth this spring would expand plans to provide additional economic stimulus for the nation.

Culture and Language Use
The ten volumes of <i>Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights</i> focus on the most salient topics in the field of pragmatics, thus dividing its wide interdisciplinary spectrum in a transparent and manageable way. While other volumes select philosophical, cognitive, grammatical, social, variational, interactional, or discursive angles, this second volume reviews basic topics and traditions that place language use in its cultural context. As emphasized in the introduction, and as revealed in the choice of articles, ‘culture’ is by no means to be seen as standing in opposition to society and cognition; on the contrary, the notion cannot be understood without insight into the intricate interactions of social and cognitive structures and processes. In addition to the topical articles, a number of contributions to this volume is devoted to aspects of methodology. Others highlight the role of eminent scholars who have made the study of cultural dimensions of language use into what it is today.
