A BUSINESS group aimed at bringing together firms in Knutsford has revealed its plans for the year ahead.
Network Knutsford was founded by Knutsford solicitor Marco Dellapina in 2009 to create a network for businesses to meet up, get to know each other, exchange ideas and do business.
Over the years attendees have taken turns helping to run the group.
At the moment Helen Rogers is carrying the baton.
Helen first attended Network Knutsford five years ago when she set up Knutsford Admin, a secretarial services, bookkeeping and clerical training business.
Helen said: "Establishing a business on your own is daunting and can be rather lonely, attending Network Knutsford was invaluable, the support from others who had already been in business a few years helped enormously."
Following a survey of attendees the group is now going to continue to meet on the third Thursday of every month (except December) from 6pm to 8pm, alternating between meeting at Jack Rabbits, King Street and going on a visit to a business.
On January 21 the group will be visiting the Mere Resort and Spa.
Joe Gates, business development manager at the Mere. is organising a tour of some of the behind the scenes running of the hotel, restaurant, golf and spa, and the new general manager will speak briefly on the importance of staff training.
Later in the year the group will be visiting Kara's Kitchen, to hear how her business has developed and taste some of her fayre.
Network Knutsford is keen to encourage anyone who run, or are thinking of running, their own business to come along and share their own highs and lows of self employment and seek answers to any questions they may have, perhaps: marketing, social media, recruitment, insurance and even how to have a day off.
Network Knutsford is not a membership organisation, attendees can dip in and out as their workload allows, the cost of each evening is £15 which includes a drink and light food.
All enquiries to email@example.com (please leave a number if you would like to speak on the phone).
Network Knutsford's website is currently being redeveloped but do follow on Twitter @NetworKnutsford.

Modern days
The Elder Gods were freed by Witchfire, when she completed a Bloodstone Amulet with all the Bloodstones necessary.
They briefly battled the X-Men, before being banished back as Magik and Pixie used their respective Soulsword and Souldagger to separate the Bloodstones from the Amulet.[1]
In possession of the Bloodstones and the Amulet, and intending to crush the demons of Limbo, Project Purgatory leader General Charles J. Ulysses had the demons to gather around his base as they wished to retrieve those weapons, for them to be in one place as he crushed them. He had Toko to assemble the Amulet, summoning the Elder Gods[6] (possibly including the Gibborim),[7] but they made their way to Earth through Portal Epsilon instead.[6]
Alternate realities
Powers and Abilities
The Elder Gods were powerful enough so that only "The Legion"/"The God-Mutant" personality of David Haller could kill them.[3]
Representatives: At least one of the Gibborim[1]

If your updating a leaderboard why is it updating 8 times a second?
I update my leaderboard every second but its only 1 trigger...
If your updating a leaderboard why is it updating 8 times a second?
I update my leaderboard every second but its only 1 trigger...
-what he said
-to turn those off i would suggest looking in the data type alerts under advanced.
-For the shop just make a new unit and duplicate it, make sure to duplicate the actor, then in your new actor find the model field and change it to the obelisk.
i might look at ur map later, for now its 5 am and im tired....
for the depot thing do the same as the obelisk and change the scale on the actor down
PS: don't do a TD everyone does TDs. I'm doing a TD, but at least its a Tower Wars..... I know make Sheep vs Rabbits that game was fun.... scratch that don't make sheep vs rabbits, i'm going to make sheep vs rabbits. right after im done with Line Tower Wars.....
I just figured out the BIGGEST problem with popularity sort!
One guy AFKing in your lobby as host for an hour will totally kill your popularity all the way down to 0! at least if you have a high number of players and its not ridiculously popular that there are more than 1 full lobbies waiting to play.
I know it ended but sign me up for the next 1 ill PM u my email... i don't want it lurking.....
Version v1.6 is here and we finally found what was killing shit.
Turns out EMP upgrades were doing damage and affecting towers, so when you upgraded your emp towers they would bomb the shit out of your maze! Besides that we nerfed Tech and fixed the reckless discriptions.
Version v1.5 is here and you can view the changelog here.
We think we fixed the wall checker problem but theres no way to tell besides testing it, obviously we tested it ourselves before releasing but we did that with previous versions aswell. Anyway we believe the problem was he moved so fast that he got stuck in wierd places so we reduced his speed and revamped the way he works. If he's still causing problems let us know.
Version v1.4 is out you can view the changelog here.
We fixed the thor problem and buffed a lot of the creeps, we also added some cool icons to the traits and the leaderboard.
EDIT: We worked real hard today but we managed to put out 2 new versions today, turns out a fix from 1.2 lead to the infestor problem in 1.3 and then 1.3 fixed that causing 1.4 to not have thor towers work. And in that time we were able to revamp the trait system.
Version v1.3 released patch notes can be found here.
was this version v1 or v1.2 we hoped starting a player with a splash target fixed this, but if not we are thinking of ways to improve this maybe changing the loading screen to builder discriptions or making a short intro....
v1.2 has been released and we made some changes that should hopefully reduce lag and prevent the walling problems. As always feedback is welcome.
1. Dully noted, well try to make text easier to read
2. Haha splash broken; broken as in kicks ass then yes! I think the problem is people don't realize that the builder requires targets to shoot at, to fix this next patch we will start the builder off with a target, hopefully people will notice that the towers attack it and not enemies. We think that will fix most peoples perception of the splash builder.
3. We'll try and make each Builder a little more newb friendly, maybe putting the builder descriptions on loading page as well will help with that?
4. We are aware of the pylon problem we also think the ghost is causing problems and the thor for splash builder.... We tried to make Power race not too complex as we made power distribution auto-cast. Maybe we should add a Standard Tower Builder without all the fancy micro stuff for your simple needs?
EDIT: Also Mech Builder will be coming up in a later patch, hopefully version 2, and i think he might be a more standard type of Tower Builder, he only requires some micro - choosing abilities and weapons for each tower that is made.
4.5. It actually picks up units like a pheonix gravity beam and holds them there.
5. Lag problems are our biggest concern right now we think most of the problems are based around splash builder and the storm tower.
6. Correct those aren't implemented yet. plan for those in version 2.0
7?. thx for the feedback and, ME TOO!
Please keep giving feedback we are working on a fix for the next version expect pylon/ghost problem to be fixed and hopefully lag to be cut down within the week.
Quote from BrotherLaz: Go
Of course... during beta, the mapmakers who put in the most effort are the ones who advertise heavily. After release, the number of mapmakers will explode and any individual mapmaker would be drowned out by the noise...
pfft.... i think i put just as much effort as the next guy into my map but i can't get the damn thing to show up on the list. I even tried cheating the system and hosting a ton of games myself... nothing. If this were WC3 i could just host my map and people would see it and join and the thing would spread like wildfire because its fricken line tower wars, but right now there's no way to get people to join.
You know what always cheers me up.....
Game has been released through B.net publishing.
Edit: Game actually released its now on the list!
<3 MedianXL
and ya get ur maps out quick(cough.. cough... myself cough) or pray they revamp the sort system.

Greg Hinz On Politics
The RTA is the solution, not the problem
This has not been a good week for those who believe that, if Chicago is to be a global business capital, it needs a well-funded, unified and well-functioning mass transportation system.
The agency that's supposed to be in charge of that, the Regional Transportation Authority, once again dissolved into a food fight, with the Chicago Transit Authority and Metra brawling over every last penny—in this case, $6 million in a $1.2 billion budget. Calls are rising to abolish the RTA, effectively letting the CTA and Metra go their own way with minimal outside supervision.
I sympathize with that impulse. The RTA at times works about as well as '78 Chevy built on a Monday. As RTA board member and former CTA Chairman Carole Brown puts it, the agency "is bogged down by its governance structure and can't perform."
But throwing up our collective hands and walking away from the problem is no solution, either.
"If you just move the RTA problem to (the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning), you're just switching hats," says Randy Blankenhorn, executive director of CMAP, which under one proposal pushed by some civic activists would merge the RTA into its operations. "The real question is: How do we quit fighting over crumbs and work together to raise the money we need?"
Amen, brother.
The core problem is, and always has been, money, mixed with the desire of Chicago Democrats and suburban Republicans to each hold the reins of power and patronage.
The RTA's funding stream, mostly local sales taxes, comes disproportionately from the suburbs, while the need for operating subsidies comes disproportionately from the city, where the CTA traditionally requires much more than Metra and the much smaller Pace bus line. Neither Metra nor Pace has what it needs in capital funds to rehab and maintain their aging systems, much less expand them. Ergo, according to civic group Metropolis Strategies, Chicago-area transit ridership decreased in the two decades ended in 2010 while it grew in other cities—adding to our already costly and time-consuming highway traffic.
If the RTA worked, it might solve that shortfall. Instead, the RTA board put together by the General Assembly is an unhappy marriage in which making almost any decision requires a supermajority vote of both city and suburban commissioners.
Given that, Metropolis 2020 CEO George Ranney, who helped create the RTA three decades ago, wants to merge it into CMAP, hoping that would empower the body to start making the kinds of tough priority decisions that RTA and, until recently CMAP and its predecessor agencies, rarely made. He has a powerful ally in the kill-RTA campaign: Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who appears to think that the CTA could do a lot better on its own and covets the $16 million RTA spends each year on its salaries.
The RTA's new chairman, John Gates, is asking for more time for a turnaround. He says the agency is willing to put some decisions on autopilot, avoiding most annual budget brawls, and argues that efficiencies that could free up real cash require close cooperation, not turf wars.
I think Mr. Gates is right, for two reasons.
First, transportation is regional and cannot work or be funded on a hyperlocal basis. The Springfield politicians on both sides of the funding war need to work it out—not just punt to CMAP or whomever.
Second, I frankly don't trust either Metra or CTA to wholly govern their own affairs without real oversight. Remember Phil Pagano, the longtime Metra chief who killed himself after he was found with his hand in the cookie jar? Or that $200 million superstation under Block 37 in the Loop that the mayor's office forced on the CTA?
The real answer is to empower the RTA, as ex-Rep. Bill Lipinski proposed a few years ago. And then to get busy.

Facebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/EcoFuelsKenya
Problem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?Eighty percent (80%) of Kenyans and East African's are engaged in agricultural activities. Yet while Kenya has one of the fastest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa, for the past decade it also has an increasing number of people who live in absolute poverty (less than $2/day) - many of these rural farmers. So while agriculture remains the backbone of Kenya's growing economy, smallholder farmers are increasingly disenfranchised from high value cash crop markets and are excluded from this growing economy.
Solution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?Eco Fuels Kenya, the world's first and only croton nut processing company, has created an entirely new value chain around a previously untapped but plentiful natural resource. The croton tree is an indigenous tree to East and Southern Africa. Millions of adult trees already exist in forests and are frequently found on smallholder farms, traditionally planted for shade. EFK buys croton nuts from smallholder farmers and through a 100% no-waste processing system turns the croton nuts into biofuel, organic fertilizers and animal feeds. These croton products are sold to other SME businesses in Kenya as well as back to the smallholder farmers thus improving farms yields and soil degradation while preserving the environment. EFK is providing a new cash crop for farmers that is in addition to their current cash crops while creating shared value through a supply chain that is inclusive of the smallholder farmer and guarantees access to markets.
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Specify both the social and the environmental impact of your workEco Fuels Kenya has been improving the livelihoods of croton collectors while creating organic environmentally-friendly croton products. EFK currently has a network of 6000 croton collectors - 85% are women and youth - who earn on average an additional $50/year from croton. For some of the collectors, this can be up to 50% of cash income they earn for the entire year. Based on surveys, 25% of collectors use the additional income from croton to reinvest in their farms, while 50% use the money for school fees, medicine and other household items. An added benefit of croton is that it doesn't replace other cash crops or other income-generating activities. Collectors are paid for the nuts upon delivery which is faster than any other cash crop supply chain in Kenya. Collectors use EFK's organic agricultural inputs which repair degraded soils and produce increased crop yields. EFK has also established a tree planting program with collectors with over 100,000 trees planted to date.
Financial sustainability plan: How is this initiative financially supported? How will you ensure its financial sustainability long-term?As EFK scales, it will become a profitable sustainable business as it reaches economies of scale and targets high-vale markets for its croton products. The company currently has been supported by sales, grants and equity investment. To-date, sales is 25% of operating costs; grants/awards 45% and equity investment 30%. Grants and awards have been used to build a stronger supply chain and create programs to support the farmers who collect croton as well as helping to scale factory operations. As EFK continues through its growth phase, it will continue to seek grants and additional equity investment on its path to scale throughout East Africa.
Unique value proposition: What makes your initiative innovative? How does your project differ from other organizations working in the same field?EFK is the only social enterprise who processes croton nuts into sustainable energy and organic agricultural inputs. Our business is 100% no-waste and we work with our croton collectors around what we call "income-motivated conservation". Farmers are able to engage in a value chain where they receive much-needed income quickly, they are preserving trees which has a positive impact on the environment and they are using products that improve their farms and their livelihoods.
Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that sparked the beginning of this initiative.Alan Paul engaged by academics from Kenya and the US to evaluate the value chain of the croton megalorcapus that produced croton nuts saw the limitless possibilities from this plant. In 2012 after being inspired by the concept of the social enterprises, he came up with a business model that would engage the community to collect the abundant nut that initially had no economic value. This would empower people at the base of the pyramid to earn an additional income without abandoning their way of living. In addition, the tree is not good for furniture, the fruit cannot be used as a food by humans, so it lends itself perfectly to be converted into biofuel, animal feeds and fertilizer without having the usual debate over food versus fuel.

Mia Lelani gets a special treat from her waiter when he brings her a tray of cock. That's right, he has slipped his hard dick into a hot dog bun and feeds it to the fine brunette as she touches herself!
The Asian pornstar acts like she has been starving for just the sort of man meat she is gagging down. She opens her mouth wide and attempts to swallow the pole while spreading her legs at the table so that you can see up her skirt. Her lace panties get moist from excitement.
Mia gets naked with her big boobs on the loose. She hops up on the table top and continues the explicit restaurant adventure.

In November 2012 HM Government launched a one year pilot of the cross government declaration against female genital mutilation (FGM).
The Statement Opposing FGM document, which is currently used in Holland and known as the 'Health Passport', is pocket-sized and states the law and the potential criminal penalties that can be used against those allowing FGM to take place. In Holland, it is primarily used by families who have migrated to Holland and do not want their children to be subjected to FGM, but still feel compelled by cultural and social norms when visiting family abroad. It is also used by young girls, typically aged 13 years or over, who can access the document and carry it with them when they are abroad with their family.
A version of this tool has now been developed by the Home Office and will be piloted for one year supporting families and girls in the UK who maybe at risk.
You have been sent this online survey as you have ordered some of the hard copy Statement Opposing FGM documents. As part of the pilot we are monitoring the use and distribution of these documents. We would be grateful if you could complete this online survey as the feedback we receive will help to inform and develop future policy.
The online survey should only take 10 minutes to complete. If you have any questions about this survey please email email@example.com
As part of the evaluation, we will ask for your contact details at the end of the survey. Providing your contact details is voluntary. Please be assured that they will be treated as personal data by the Home Office in compliance with Government guidance on holding personal information. Your contact details will only be used for this evaluation to analyse the organisations using the documents and the geographical spread. Your details will only be kept for the length of the pilot.

Maureen Dowd is no fan of Hillary Clinton. In her latest New York Times op-ed entitled "The Empire Strikes Back," Dowd upbraids the Republican members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi for their inept questioning of America's former secretary of state; however, she also pinpoints Hillary's responsibility for the Libyan debacle. Dowd writes:
"Since she was, as her aide Jake Sullivan put it, 'the public face of the U.S. effort in Libya,' one of the Furies, along with Samantha Power and Susan Rice, who had pushed for a military intervention on humanitarian grounds, Hillary needed to stay on top of it.
She had to be tenacious in figuring out when Libya had deteriorated into such a caldron of jihadis that our ambassador should either be pulled out or backed up. In June 2012, the British closed their consulate in Benghazi after their ambassador's convoy was hit by a grenade. A memo she received that August described the security situation in Libya as 'a mess.'
When you are the Valkyrie who engineers the intervention, you can't then say it is beneath you to pay attention to the ludicrously negligent security for your handpicked choice for ambassador in a lawless country full of assassinations and jihadist training camps."
Dowd further declares:
"Trey Gowdy and his blithering band of tea-partiers went on a fishing expedition, but they forgot to bring their rods — or any fresh facts."
Not so fast, Maureen! As Stephen Hayes writes in a Weekly Standard article entitled "Still Waiting for the Truth":
"Charles Woods has been waiting a long time for the truth. He met his son's body at Joint Base Andrews, three days after the attacks, at a solemn ceremony in just outside Washington, D.C. He first met Clinton at that brief memorial service. He remembers it well, in part, he says, because he took notes immediately after he spoke with her.
. . . .
He recorded Clinton's exact words. 'We are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son,' he read. Then he looked up. 'I remember those words: 'who was responsible for the death of your son.' She was blaming him and blaming the movie.'
Woods was skeptical at the time that she was telling the truth. His doubts were validated with each new revelation of the administration's post-attack dissembling. But he was shocked by what he learned in the hearing Thursday.
At 11:12 p.m. on September 11, 2012, the night of the attacks, Hillary Clinton wrote to her daughter, Chelsea, and noted that the compound in Benghazi had been attacked by 'an al Quaeda-like group.' She did not mention a video, as she had in her public statement, released by the State Department an hour earlier.
The following day, September 12, 2012, Clinton spoke with Egyptian prime minister Hesham Kandil. Their discussion was captured by a State Department note-taker, whose job is to record conversations among high-level diplomats by producing a near-verbatim summary.
'We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film,' Clinton explained to Kandil, according to the State Department memo. 'It was a planned attack – not a protest.'"
Yes, Hillary lied to Charles Woods. She also lied to Patricia Smith. And Susan Rice, another of Dowd's so-called Furies, lied to the entire nation, with the knowledge and approval of President Obama, for which she was rewarded with the post of United States National Security Advisor.
Which brings me to the question of whether moral integrity still matters in today's world. Can a US presidential candidate flagrantly lie without repercussions to the parents of terror victims, in order to attain the highest office in the land? Regrettably the answer must wait until November 8, 2016, unless the FBI tosses a monkey wrench into Hillary's political machine before said date.

Campaign on Global Justice Atrocities 2020
In December 2019, the Coalition for the ICC (CICC), a program of the World Federalist Movement, successfully facilitated once again the participation of hundreds of civil society representatives in the 18th Session of the Assembly of States Parties.
The Assembly is the legislative arm of the International Criminal Court, where citizens joined state representatives, Court staff and others in discussing key issues related to the functioning of the Rome Statute system of justice as a whole in the coming year.
One such issue was the establishment of a transparent and independent review of the Court and its organs, known as the Independent Expert Review. The Coalition has engaged with this process in a number of ways, including by: actively participating in a meeting between the Experts and civil society in late February, regularly updating members on the review process, and encouraging written submissions to the experts. The CICC has also followed closely the elections scheduled to take place this year. On the election of the Prosecutor, several CICC members met with the Committee on the Election of the Prosecutor in order to exchange views on the process. On the election of six new judges, the Coalition Secretariat updates its members regularly on the nomination process, and plans to engage with the candidates following the close of the nomination period.

Meet David Kopelev. This sharp kid DMed four adventures for the D&D Adventurers League at Gamex 2015 (Los Angeles, CA) over Memorial Day weekend. He runs a home game with his family and regularly DMs at game days throughout the Los Angeles area. David is a straight A student, an avid reader, and is trained in Brazilian Jiu Jutsu. He is also an actor who has been in several short films and is currently training with Los Angeles improv troupe, the Groundlings.
I had the pleasure of having him as a player at one of the tables I ran on the first day of the con, where I learned that he was DMing almost as much as most of the veteran DMs at Gamex! So, I caught up with him after the con ended to interview him about his experience at Gamex and about DMing in general.
Jay Africa: First of all, how old are you? And when did you start playing D&D?
David Kopelev: I am 12 and I started playing in September 2014 at PAX [Ed.: Penny Arcade Expo] in Seattle.
JA: What adventures did you run at Gamex 2015?
DK: Mayhem in the Earthspur Mines, City of Danger, Foulness Beneath Mulmaster, and Bounty in the Bog.
JA: Very cool! Did you enjoy running one of the premier tables of Foulness Beneath Mulmaster?
DK: Yes, it was my favorite one in all of Gamex 2015.
JA: Was there a particularly epic or memorable moment during any of your adventures at
DK: One rogue dealt almost 30 damage in 1 hit! It was the most I've ever seen.
JA: So what is it about DMing that you enjoy?
DK: I like controlling the game and my word being law.
JA: What's the most challenging thing about being a DM?
DK: You have to keep track of a lot of stuff at the same time.
JA: Lastly, what's one piece of advice you would give an inexperienced DM to help them DM better?
DK: To be very familiar with the rules, and sometimes players undermine the DM and to just say "No, I'm the DM and this is my ruling."
JA: Cool. Thanks so much for DMing all of your tables at Gamex 2015, David! And thanks,
especially, for playing at the Flames of Kythorn table I ran. I look forward to the next time we get to share a table.
DK: Me too!

The 'Asahi Slow-Mo Booth', which launches today, enables up to four people to capture their best moments in cinematic slow motion video and share them on social media.
The three-metre high booth, which is in the shape of an Asahi pint glass, will premier today at Truman Brewery in east London, before beginning a UK tour around some of the nation's top venues and events, details of which will be released on social media.
The booth has a range of special effects, including a jet of malt-infused condensation, mimicking the experience of opening a bottle of beer, and 100 ping-pong balls launched two metres into the air from a secret trap door, mirroring the bubbles in beer – all aiming to make guests feel like they are literally inside a pint of Asahi.
To launch the booth Asahi has released a video:
Video from the booth will be sent to guests so they can post it on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using the #AsahiSlowMo hashtag.
Asahi UK brand manager Samantha Catford said: "We wanted to create an experience that's fun, exciting, shareable but also one that conveys the crisp and refreshing qualities of Asahi Super Dry. The result is a world-first: a branded super slow-mo booth that takes the photo booth concept to the next level while linking to the brand's unique qualities and reputation for innovation."

Tip of the Month – September 2015
Graded by Strength and Appearance
Lumber is graded using two processes. The first process describes the physical strength of the lumber and the second grades the lumber based upon appearance.
When lumber is shipped from a lumber mill to a distributor it is graded and a number is marked on it to distinguish the different grades. Most commonly the lumber will have a No. 1 or a No. 2 on it. Sometimes the lumber may say No. 2 BTR, which means No. 2 or better. These grades are assigned to lumber by a process which uses the following factors to grade each type: checks, grains, knots, shake, skips of grain, split, stain and wane. Each lumber grade is also based upon the width and thickness of the wood.
Normally, when building patio covers, the lumber that is used is graded No .2 or better. The lumber would be hand selected based upon four corners being square, straightness, tightness in knots and light color staining. Lumber which is given a number grade is also given and appearance grade. The appearance grades are standard, select or clear. Most of the lumber that is used for wood replacement is standard lumber, which is hand selected by the lumber yard. This is different from select lumber, which is selected by the lumber suppliers and is the premium grade building lumber. This type is used for structurally exposed lumber, which requires extreme strength and an outward physical appearance. The grade is called Select Exposed.
How to read a lumber stamp:
1. Species (Ex. S-P-F Spruce, Pine Fir)
2. Grade No. 1, No. 2, Stud
3. Moisture Content (Ex. AD Air Dried, KD Kiln Dried)
4. Certification Mark (Agency that Oversees Grading )
5. Mill (Trademark or Number of Lumber Mill)
If you need lumber that has no knots there is another style of lumber called clear, which means that the lumber has little or no knots in its appearance. Clear can also be referred to as Select Tight Knot or STK. Since lumber can have two different ratings it can cause confusion on which type of wood you might need. Most of the time you will be using No. 2 BTR Standard Hand Select lumber, but if you are doing a project that requires wood that is going to be visible, you may decide to use clear lumber. Since wood is rated in two different areas, you can have a piece of wood that is rated select structural but may have an appearance that is not visually pleasing.

A play, and various visitors
Athal is not very coherent about what happened and especially in what order things happened. Also, he's squeamish about the children. I'm cautious myself: parts of this will be very brief.
A day full of events, and it's as if I was dreaming all of them. Except the play, which I'll come to later: that was more real than any dream.
Getting the children out of the palace: the two boys and two girls the Khandihan gave me "for my pleasure" turned out to be pitiful child-whores, drugged into submission, and they even sent us the drugs as well! Raisse touched a root and it gave her a painful yellow rash on the skin. Moyri didn't want the children, the Order didn't know what to do with them though they put them up for a night, and finally I thought of Talvi, who took them into her house and made them call her "granny" because "aunt" is what they called the woman who trained them to be what they are. The historian we were also "given" turns out to be able to speak a language very close to theirs, and as the only person who can talk to them he's now staying with Ferin and Talvi as well. He played children's games with them –not Ferin and Talvi, but the children, who are like babies one moment and like sixteen-year-olds the next– and they were almost like real children then.
We had three doctors to look them over: Roushan from Iss-Peran, Janam Isal from Solay and our own Hinla (who, I think, the historian is more than a little infatuated with). Roushan said that they would be dead in a few years –at fourteen at most– and if we stopped giving them their medicine now they'd be dead in a week; Hinla said that we should stop giving them the medicine and see what happened; Janam Isal said that he could probably cure them but we'd have to keep giving them their medicine until he could get different medicine from Essle.
With all that, I'd almost have forgotten that we'd been invited to the –well, I must call it a play, though it was much more than that– that our guests were putting up. Sometime in the afternoon Hinla came and put me in a contraption like a too-tight leather cuirass. Astonishingly, it stopped my broken ribs hurting, though it also effectively stopped me moving at all. Raisse and I, Ferin and the Khandihan, and most of his inner circle piled into the sedan chairs ready for us. We were carried to the camp outside town, where someone had built graded rows of seats around an empty place like at the Town Games in Veray, only huge. Someone pointed us all the way to the top –other people in front of us went to sit left and right– and we had a splendid view.
It started with music; at least, I thought it was music. It was done with things that looked like lutes and flutes, and with drums and voices, but there was nothing in the sound that I could make head or tail of. Raisse looked as puzzled as I felt and the Khandihan was impassive, but I've hardly seen him otherwise. There were dancers, people doing elaborate acrobatics, jugglers. The elephants and the tigers took part in the performance: one conjuror pulled a small child from a tiger's mouth. The Khandihan said that it was an allegorical representation of the creation of the world, and that performances like this lasted for days in Iss-Peran, but of course for us they'd shortened it. The main singers, a man and a woman, were very special, the second-best in the whole country; the best hadn't been able to come because they couldn't cross deep water. I looked with my inner senses and saw that there was a whole lot of anea about, most of it coming from the main singers and making patterns that all the rest depended on. If they got all that anea from the earth (as it looked) I could imagine that they couldn't cross the sea. I told the Khandihan that I understood because I had trouble crossing water too. That made him look thoughtful; he'll probably think even more than he does already that I'm very brave.
After the play everybody went home without speaking; I'd have liked to talk to the Khandihan about what I'd seen, but that will have to wait until later.
I slept fitfully and had strange dreams of elephants, but that was only to be expected.
In the morning Raisse went to look at the old meat market, which she'd heard would probably be a good building to convert for her new school, while I looked through the stack of papers that had grown on my desk for the last few days. While I was doing that, a delegation from the Academy in Ildis presented itself. Just now that Raisse wasn't there, of course. I had them shown in– three men and two women with dried-parchment faces, dressed in robes that were twenty years out of date, and the document they gave me looked two hundred years out of date. The writing could have been the spidery hand of a clerk before Mailei Halla designed the clear letters; the language was so convoluted that I had to read it at least twice to understand it. Of course they feared unfair competition. I said that this was the Queen's affair, and she wasn't there, so they'd have to wait; I tried to explain that a school in Valdis would complement Ildis, not compete with it, but I don't think I made myself clear enough. I had the page take them away and give them refreshments while they waited.
Sitting up all morning, and dealing with the teachers from Ildis, made my ribs hurt again; I'd probably been taking too much out of myself. Fortunately Raisse came back, who made me lie in bed and came to lie beside me. Just after I'd sealed the room –that's so much second nature that I do it without thinking however tired I am– I felt something scrabble at the seal, something I didn't recognise. It hit me hard when I tried to see what it was; when Raisse did the same it bowled her over completely. It was clearly of the Nameless, strong enough to come from a grand master, but completely unlike anything I'd seen before.
I called Lyse, and she came over to look at it from close up. It was like a bump in the fabric of the world, a seal but not of our kind. And it was in the Khandihan's apartments, probably one of his servants; we'd have recognised him much earlier if it had been himself. I held on to Lyse while she sent her anie to look closer still. She became very cold, so cold that the ankle of her spirit was brittle, before I had the wit to pull her back, and then her foot turned out to be broken, the foot of her body! Neither of us had ever seen anything that could do something like that.
We had to have the doctor come yet again. She set and splinted Lyse's foot ("you're not going anywhere much for a while, my girl"), took one look at me and ordered a couch to be brought to the workroom so I could work lying down.
No lying down for me for a bit yet, though: the Khandihan would have to know what he harboured among his servants. I took Moryn, who was in the palace anyway because he had been talking with Ferin about the situation in Lenyas, and one of the palace guards, to visit the Khandihan in his apartments where he was entertaining the main singers from the play. He was startled and flattered, saying that the singers had told him that they would feel honoured to meet me personally. It could be done, of course, and I said so, but not now: there was another matter. (And in fact I could sense the "other matter" right behind the far door, where it seemed to be ironing napkins.)
The Khandihan promptly became more serious. "I will take matters in hand," he said, disappeared behind the door and came back almost immediately; the disturbance had vanished. "My linen maids," he said. "I shall have to purchase replacements." He proceeded to throw himself at my feet, begging for forgiveness, only getting up when I said that of course I forgave him, it wasn't his fault to begin with.
I didn't dare go and look, but Moryn went into the other room while I went back to Raisse. When he came back his face was grey and he wouldn't accept a glass of wine, very much out of character for him. He'd looked at the Khandihan's work. He had killed three maids, none of them more than fourteen years old; it had been very clear to Moryn, trained as he had been in the Guild of the Nameless, which of them had been the intruder. Not that she had been a grand master in the Guild of the Nameless herself– after some speculation back and forth we concluded that either she had been possessed or set up as a weapon by whoever wanted to hit me– surely not the Khandihan himself. Expendable, both ways, and probably as innocent as the other two. The other three, really: another maid had been out of the room and Moryn had taken her along. She was with Selmet and Fikmet in Raisse's room. They couldn't understand her or she them, but that was a very good thing at the moment.
Moryn spoke enough of the Iss-Peran trade language to have figured out that all the girls had come from the same orphanage, and that the intruder girl had belonged to a kind of society of the Nameless– not really a guild, or an Order, but an organisation of slaves and other people without status or privileges who seemed to want to overthrow the king and his chosen few, but could only be a thinly veiled attempt of the Nameless or his servants to gather followers in Iss-Peran, because they had less and less opportunity in Valdyas.
"We shall have to go to Iss-Peran right away," I said to Raisse, "not wait until after the Feast of Mizran when the baby is born." She agreed; with any luck we'll be in Essle when her time comes and we can have Alaise for midwife. But it would be wise to take a midwife of our own along all the same; perhaps Imri can lend us one of her apprentices.
It was a long time before I slept, because the whole thing had made me feel dirty, guilty as if I had killed three innocent people with my own hands, and reluctant to face the Khandihan. I knew already that their way of thinking was different from our own, but so different was still a shock. That they didn't see slaves as people had until now only been theory, and now I'd seen it in practice. They didn't even need the Nameless for that– wait, that was, of course, what made it so easy for the servants of the Nameless to gain ground there, they didn't have to convince people of it.
We were startled awake in the fitful part of the night just before morning, when it's cold and grey, the town wakes up, people roll barrels which seem to make more noise than later in the day and birds hesitatingly start to sing. For the first time in days I didn't feel my ribs hurting at all. There was someone sitting between us on the bed, someone small: a redheaded boy of around seven. He was clearly waiting for me to say something. "I know only two who can get through my seals without me noticing," I said, "and I know which of them you're not; what do you want?"
Timoine, for it could only have been him, rolled his eyes at us. "I want you to stop it! With the children! You can make it stop!" Somehow I knew that he meant all the children in Iss-Peran being taken from their homes and trained as whores, not the particular ones in my care. I was about to ask him how, but he went on: "I know that you can make it stop, and I will help you, and my mother will help you too!" I could only nod at that, and say that we had already decided to leave for the south as soon as possible. Suddenly something occurred to me and I grabbed his wrist –it felt quite normal and alive– and asked him "And what about the children we already have here?" "Janam Isal is right about them," he said, "they'll be all right."
I didn't see him go away, but I slept better than I had for ages, and woke refreshed and without pain. Raisse, too, slept very well until the baby kicked her awake: obviously Timoine had touched him too. She, of course, had seen a girl where I had seen a boy.
My ribs still didn't hurt. Hinla came, summoned by Raisse because she was curious. "Am I being called in for divine miracles as well these days?" she asked. "Very well, I release you from my care."
I kept her back when she was about to go, "Hinla? This historian from the south–" which made her blush, "well, I just wanted to say that if you'd prefer to stay here, and I don't need you all that badly any more anyway, perhaps you have a journeyman you can send when we travel so you can stay in Valdis." She said that she would think about it, still blushing like a maiden.
I'll have to get hold of Janam Isal and tell him that Dayati visited me and told him that his, Janam Isal's, treatment is right. I can let him have a court messenger to send to Essle and order whatever he needs, if Ysella doesn't have it in her stores.
But first there's a delegation from the "government of Aumen Síth in exile" coming, which I didn't know existed; and an embassy from the Western Plains is on its way which will be here in a few days; and in the afternoon we're having the meeting about the situation in Lenyas that Raith sent a letter about. She's going to have Moryn with enough troops to keep things under control. The meeting was to be in the palace, but because of Lyse's foot it's at the Order house now; safer, too. Good thing that I can walk or ride and I'm not hampered by broken ribs any more, thanks to Timoine.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen!
Do you always prefer something over the other? Well, now you can tell us! In the polls below are questions that ask you what is better. The topics are all completely random, but doesn't that make this more exciting?! Just remember that these are opinion based so don't take this too seriously if you know what I mean. And don't forget to have fun with it!

Good day, ladies and gentlemen!
I made a bunch of polls for each faction from the Fallout universe and you get to vote if you like or dislike that faction. Think of this as a way of "expressing" your feelings about them. Now before you vote, be aware that I have only included the "major" factions. I didn't include any of the "minor" factions because there would be too many to list. Anyway...

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! I would like to discuss with you the two best beverages in the wasteland, Nuka-Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla.
Made in 2044, Nuka-Cola was the most popular soft drink in the pre-war times. Only mixed with carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine, people can't resist the trumendous taste of Nuka-Cola. It also comes in different varieties like Nuka-Cola Clear (never produced), Nuka-Cola Quartz, Nuka-Cola Victory and the famous Nuka-Cola Quantum, etc. As of 2281, it remains the most popular beverage in the wasteland.
Founded in 1918, Sunset Sarsaparilla is a root-beer-type beverage that exists mostly (if not only) out west. Accord…

Website review: Zafu, the best clothing website ever
I posted about this before, but it really requires a full post of its own, especially since I can't stop talking about it, and today I gave my website addy to the cashier at Old Navy while gushing about how their Sweetheart jeans fit me just perfect, and I know this because of Zafu.
You know how it's hard to find bras and jeans that fit? And it seems they're tailored for someone with a body shape very different than your own? Zafu asks you a bunch of questions about your body and how the item usually fits you, then gives you a list of specific items that should fit you better. I needed new jeans, so I tried it out. Lo and behold, I'm sitting at home in my cute new jeans, which don't gap at the back, or make my thighs look gross. It's amazing!

Why the auto insurance companies are losing their money?
U.S has got the highly destructive natural disasters in the year 2018 that had resulted in the insurance claims to cost in billions of dollars. Along with the home insurers the auto insurers were also affected with this. There are several other factors like the wrong driving which had led to an increase in several road accidents. Along with this with the shifting of auto industry to high tech cars which are very expensive to repair had led to great loss for the insurers.
The record setting natural disasters: According to the primary report from California department of insurance the wildfires had caused around $123 million in non-residential and auto insurance claims as estimated. On that hurricanes Florence and Michael had caused $14.6 billion and $7.7 billion in insurance losses. Damage which has been caused due to car flooding during hurricane or burning of car due to wildfires which are covered by the comprehensive insurance of the car. Under this kind of coverage, you can replace the car or repair the damages.
Increased driving accidents due to distraction: The increase in insurance rates is also due to the increase in the frequency of car crashes which were merely due to the distracted driving which is mostly due to the use of phones while driving. According to the National highway traffic safety administration's report, in the year 2015 nearly 2.443 million people got injured due to distracted driving crashes that was actually 2.217 million in the year 2011. So, in order to make the payments for the insurance claims the insurers have raised the rates of their insurance.
The expensive vehicle repairs: The latest cars do come with an expensive technology and are very sensitive that lead to higher costs for repair for the new vehicles. In order to make up for the loss, the insurers have increased the premiums. It has been specified by NHTSA regulations that all new vehicles must have the rear view video system as of May 2018. This technology in the vehicle has earlier proven to reduce the frequency and number of accidents that are caused by human mistakes. This has been made common while it's an inexpensive repair. Earlier like the bumper replacement was very expensive, thus leading to the increase in losses for the insurance companies. So in order to compensate for their loss they have increased their rates.

Hollywood's Walk of Fame, where Marilyn Monroe and other stars dipped their hands in cement, is not what it used to be, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Donald Kushner of Grauman's Chinese says the theater will need to begin taking out some imprints in the near future. 'Some of the handprints are going to have to be removed so we can preserve them,' he said. 'Some of them, like Groucho Marx, have almost disappeared.'
This year has seen a record number of new entries – some perhaps reasonable enough, like Mickey Rourke, Jennifer Aniston and Robert Pattinson – and other more dubious choices, including Alvin and the Chipmunks and DJ David Guetta.
This had led some critics to protest that the 'honour' is being bestowed far too indiscriminately, and also to concerns that older stars' prints may be removed to promote passing fads.
I suspect that Marilyn's spot is safe enough for now. But Hollywood is where the American film industry began, and trifling as it may seem, the Walk of Fame is one of the few lasting memorials to the creative artists who made it great.

KOOPHUB, the regional Fintech Hub of EEMEA (Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa region), and The Luxembourg House of Financial Technologies (The LHoFT) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") during the Istanbul Fintech Week on 4th of April in order to foster innovation and build bridges between Luxembourg and Turkey.
The two Fintech hubs will collaborate on a number of initiatives to benefit from each other's ecosystems, giving a further boost to the economic development of the region. This cooperation agreement between KOOPHub and the LHoFT seeks to cement a strong bond between the 2 countries, valuing cooperation that is fundamental to promote Fintech across Europe and beyond.
Demet Zubeyiroglu, Co-Founder of KOOPHub explained: "Luxembourg is a global hub for financial services. Supporting this positioning, financial technologies landscape has become very instrumental thanks to efforts by the LHoFT. Through our collaboration, we wish to weigh on opportunities and convergences by developing joint programs and activities. I believe this partnership will genuinely help FIs, investors, lawyers and startups in identifying prospects towards both of the ecosystems."
Alex Panican, Head of Partnership & Ecosystem at the LHoFT added: "Istanbul has always been a bridge between Europe, Middle East and Asia, therefore we see real synergies between our hubs as Luxembourg is becoming a fintech gateway to Western Europe. Moreover, we are always looking for new markets for our fintechs and the region looks very promising for Regtechs and Financial Inclusion projects."

No magic tricks – design requires talent and graft
Adrian Shaughnessy's Private View (DW 7 October), describing the key difference between copying and original work, shines a realistic light on the subject. 'It is acceptable to borrow from others as long as we make something new out of it. It is also vital to acknowledge our sources. Copyists never own up to it…' says Shaughnessy.
When did we ever hear a major high street retailer say it borrowed 'from Armani', or a manufacturer say 'taken apart so it is difficult to attribute to Philippe Starck'? When does a committed copyist that hijacks design to the Far East which re-emerges in Western markets as cheap lookalikes, say 'stolen from the best in British design'?
But I disagree with Shaughnessy when he says there is little scope for originality. Most designers would say there is a whole creative world out there ready to grasp new ideas and run with them, as long as they're not ripped off and the originator is rewarded/acknowledged.
One of Acid Lobby's remits is to address the legal disparity between copyright owners and design right owners – it's time to shout louder about the names behind design achievements. Design isn't some magic dust sprinkled over new ideas and products. It is usually the result of hard graft, heavy investment and a creative talent that sets them apart from the copyists.

Things I've Learned Since I Got Married #8 - Fridge Art
While I like the idea of hiding notes around, we've discovered an even better method of conveying such messages of affection.
One of the most useful, not to mention fun, purchases that ASoG made when we were moving into our apartment was a magnetized dry-erase board for our refrigerator door. We could write down things like upcoming appointments, semachos we were going to attend, errands/chores that needed to be taken care of, and shopping lists - which would all be very visible and thus easier to remember and harder to forget.
However, the best "use" of the dry-erase board by far has nothing to do with run-of-the-mill, day-to-day stuff like the things I just listed. Rather, the dry erase board becomes a vehicle to compose little love notes, poems, display quotes, or the best of all (in my opinion) drawing funny or wacky doodles designed to make the other spouse laugh.
It's really perfect, especially if one spouse wakes up and departs before the other, which gives him/her a chance to scribble/draw something that their spouse is bound to notice when stopping by the kitchen for breakfast. I can't count the times that both ASoG and I have given each other words of encouragement, a laugh, or just something cute to make us think about the other on our little dry-erase board.
Here's an example (drawn by yours truly):
Amazing, isn't it?
To all the engaged, soon-to-be-engaged, married, and soon-to-be-married folks out there, do yourselves a favor and add a magnetic dry-erase board to your shopping list for your new apartment/home. Your spouse will love you for it.

Guy > Girl = Happy Marriage?
In short, a study conducted that followed the calculated body mass index (BMI) of both the husband and wife of 169 couples under the age of 35 over the course of 4 years determined that as long as the husband was larger than his wife, both at the start and throughout the study, he maintained a higher level of happiness.
Conversely, a heavier husband did not impact the level of happiness of the wife. However, a wife who had a lower BMI than her husband was in fact "significantly happier" than a wife whose BMI matched or exceeded her husband's.
Aside from the obvious conclusion, that younger men view physical attractiveness with greater significance than younger women, the lead female researcher, doctoral candidate Andrea Melzer remarked, "The great take-home message from our study is that women of any size can be happy in their relationships with the right partner. It's relative weight that matters, not absolute weight. It's not that they have to be small."
This could explain the number of couples I know, or have seen on Only Simchas where the guy is quite a bit larger than his fiancee/wife. I do wonder though, if the results or further testing could show to what degree a woman, from the average male's perspective, "should" have less BMI than he does? While the study proclaims that married women shouldn't feel the need to be pressured to fit into size 0 jeans to please their husband, how does this reflect on the shidduch world when reality is so distorted and unreasonable sizes are demanded just to make the cut for a potential date?
Is it possible that such research could demonstrate that a guy legitimately only needs a girl who has less BMI than him, within a healthy range that would account for his personal preference (not every man likes supermodel thin or more zaftig women)? Perhaps this could somehow be explored to put a spotlight on how bad things have gotten with expectations of women's sizes and put our dating culture back on a more realistic, functional track?

Things I've Learned Since I've Gotten Married #7: Icky Removal
As most people seem to know, women are not quite fond of creepy crawly things, slimy/squishy things, and scampering/slithering scaled things, among other creatures out there that aren't in the same category of cuteness as a puppy or kitten. This means whenever an insect, arachnid, rodent, reptile or whatever shows up uninvited, it's generally the husband's job to capture/kill and dispose of the unwanted guest. This also comes up whenever multi-legged critters turn up deceased around the apartment and their remains must be removed without delay - especially if they are found in very public or high traffic areas.
I am not such a fan of killing animals for no real reason, and am more likely to pursue a catch-and-release-outside option should it be available, especially for things that don't have an exoskeleton. While I have indeed killed a few spiders/roaches, I've also caught and released a gecko or two (true story, and no, they aren't native in these parts).
The policy of having the husband deal with gross things also applies to cleaning/throwing away items that have become rather noxious, dirty, or slimy. Generally, this isn't much of a problem, and I find it much easier to deal with than living animals.
Sometimes, though, even my tolerance for dealing with such things can be tested.
Case in point, ASoG was cleaning the tub of our new apartment and discovered that the water wasn't draining well. Of course, this probably meant that there was something clogged beneath the little drain stopper. As a rule, I'm the one who always removes any sort of hair clot, even if we know we caused the issue (and women are notorious for shedding, which is the topic of another post entirely). However, this time was a little different.
Granted, the drain clog had nothing to do with us, and was created by the previous occupants, which did add another level of icky-factor. In fact, I was already expected ASoG to ask me to assist her in this aspect of cleaning the tub. What I didn't expect to hear was this:
"AHHHH! Come quick! It's LOOKING at me!"
I honestly had no idea what I was going to find, but I ran to the rescue anyway and peered into the drain as ASoG hovered a safe distance away. I thought there might have been a lizard, maybe even a mouse, but instead I saw a bunch of eyes looking back at me. More in number and larger in size than any local creature that I'm aware of. It was also quite fuzzy/hairy. I could tell it wasn't a tarantula, but I was still a bit hesitant to stick my finger anywhere near it. I grabbed a vinyl glove from nearby and extracted this interesting thing:
Basically, it's a combination fuzz/hair clot along with a woman's hair scrunchy thing with beads that look like large eyeballs. I've dubbed it "The Drain Googly." ASoG wouldn't even look at it because of its high level icky-ness, and I can't really blame her. I quickly ran to the kitchen, took this picture for posterity (and this post), and dropped it into the garbage. This discovery makes me wonder if someone who used to live here is looking for her hair thingy.
Ah, the pleasures of being Pest Control in shining armor.

Y U Don't Connect #4: Being Unfairly Dismissive
As a dater, I tried to be one of those who was very dan lekaf zechus, both for myself and other singles when we were constantly berated with the belittling retort "well, the reason why you're not married is because you're too picky!" I thought that most guys and girls were simply being lectured by the older generation who were lamenting how much easier it was "back in the day" and that the modern generation is so super-saturated with choices in life that they apply this misdirected attitude toward finding a spouse. Granted, there definitely exist a certain subset of singles who are so full of themselves, usually portrayed as egotistical guys, who want nothing short of perfect and gorgeous, but I believed they were an incorrigible minority.
Speaking from my own dating experience, I can honestly say I tried to give every profile I received proper consideration. I'd read over what was written, make a few phone calls (or have a dating mentor help me with research), and come to a conclusion that whether the girl was worthwhile or not. On a few occasions, I did receive profiles that I declined shortly after reviewing them, because it was simply clear that we were hashkafically mismatched, or in some cases that included a picture I legitimately didn't find her attractive whatsoever (and as have I mentioned before, to each his/her own in that area, as long as it's reasonable).
During our time working as Connectors, ASoG and I have experienced what I would describe as a significantly high number of people, both men and women, who are unusually and unfairly dismissive of perfectly good suggestions for the most ridiculous reasons. Certain individuals who we've sent dozens of suggestions to have not yet accepted a single idea we've given them. It's not as though we're coming up with ideas that are a hashkafic mismatch, one person wants to make aliyah tomorrow while the other isn't interest whatsoever, or that the other person's appearance is utterly unlike anything they are attracted to. These individuals point out spelling and grammar errors, unclear sentences, or "general feelings" they get after reviewing a profile and simply reject the person outright instead of say, being reasonable and calling the references to find out more.
On the surface, these uber-picky people will tell us, either in their initial decline or when we press for more information when they send a blank response, the person we sent is actually very much what they are looking for. But, there is some seemingly minute detail, which is only apparent in the profile itself that they then use as the lynchpin to reject what otherwise seems like a great shidduch.
Understandably, this is quite frustrating for us, because ASoG and I really do read the profiles and try to match people up as best as we possibly can. Granted, nothing is ever perfect, although sometimes they seem as though they are almost perfect, but I would think that any shidduch that legitimately looks like it has potential should be investigated as much as possible before just throwing away a perfectly good opportunity.
I'm not really sure what the problem is with all these guys and gals. Do they think that there are so many people out there that they can simply turn down any suggestion that is less than a 99% match for their "list" of requirements? Why don't they actually invest some time into checking out these prospective candidates? Granted, daters using YU Connects, and often daters in the YU World in general, are not required to perform the more extensive research protocols found in the more right wing/yeshivish dating circles. Doing so requires a lot of time and effort, and it can be very frustrating, so many rabbeim encourage a middle ground of some investigation before and more while dating (if things are going well).
At any rate, whatever means of researching suggestions a person may utilize, it seems ridiculous to me that all these people don't want to put an ounce of effort into checking into prospective matches if everything isn't picture perfect on paper. Why not ASK for the person's reference numbers and inquire from the people who know him/her? Or, as a few saner people do, simply ask the connector to find out for you. It's really very simple. We will email the person saying a potential match would like elaboration on point X in your profile, and we almost always receive a thoughtful reply. I think it behooves each and every member on YUConnects/Saw You at Sinai to treat each suggestion with the utmost seriousness, to the exclusion of the random, dart-board suggestions thrown at them from uncaring connectors.
To the readers who are involved in the more Modern Orthodox-type dating world, particularly those who use YU Connects or SYAS – do you actually make an attempt to check into profile sent to you? If you don't, why not?

With the rise and popularity of the Internet, many aspects of printing have been washed out. However, there are still things that are preferable in paper like banners, birthday and holiday messages among others. It's for this reason that starting a printing company is still a relevant business venture in this digital era. You can easily start your own printing business right at home by following these basic steps.
Step 1
Research on your local market to identify whether there is a demand for these services. Competition should not serve to discourage you as sometimes it could only mean that there is a demand for printing services.
Step 2
Perform legal checkups to find out whether there are any legal requirements to operate a printing company from your home, such as the need for a license before you start operating to avoid problems in the future. You can do this by checking with your county or city clerk's office.
Step 3
You should register your business with the secretary of state. The forms necessary for most places are on secretary of state's website. Or else, make a call to request for the forms.
Step 4
Prepare your equipment by purchasing the needed machines. If you cannot afford them, it is necessary that you create a good relationship with a local or Internet-based commercial printer to help you offer printing fullfillment to your clients. For small items, all you will need is a computer and necessary software like adobe Photoshop. A digital printer, though expensive, can go a long way in helping you accomplish many tasks like printing proofs and other small jobs. Other necessary things include a toner, paper cutter, staplers among others.
Step 5
You need to build a portfolio. You can do this by doing printing volunteer work for organizations and charities around your area. You can print their newsletters, program events and even help them with their direct mail projects just to build your name. It will also be beneficial in giving you experience and something to show to your potential clients.
Step 6
You should make your business known. You can print your own brochures, flyers to help spread the word about your business and include services you offer, whether it's direct mailing or inserts. You can hand these over to friends and potential buyers. You can also advertise in local publications to promote your business. A website is another important tool as it can be used for online orders. You can also use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, among others to advertise your business.
Step 7
Compare the prices of other printing businesses with yours so that you can determine a good rate for your customers. You can make yours slightly cheaper to be more attractive to customers.
You can easily start your own printing company by following the legal procedures, getting the right equipment, building a name for yourself and marketing your business to get customers. It's good to identify something unique that might easily attract customers to your business, like having a reduced price for your services.

The author writes on the life of Father Athanasius Kircher. He states that although he did not achieve much in his study of hieroglyphics, his decision to begin with the study of the Coptic language was "possibly one of the most intelligent things ever achieved in the seventeenth century." He advanced Coptic studies, inaugurating the study of Coptic dialects in the West.

Apple Computer's road from garage to dead end on the Infinite Loop:
1976 Entreprenerds Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs sell pocket calculator and Volkswagen bus to finance construction of the first Apple Computer.
1980 Apple Computer receives the warmest Wall Street welcome since the Ford Motor Co. went public in 1956. The company's 4.5 million shares sell out in minutes at an opening price of US$22 a share.
1981 President Mike Scott announces Apple's first-ever layoffs: 40 positions are cut as part of a streamlining effort.
1983 Just before rising into the ranks of the Fortune 500, Apple hires Pepsico veteran John Sculley as its president and CEO, sowing the seeds of dissent that will lead to Jobs' departure.
1984 Apple again revolutionizes home computing with its Macintosh computer, the first to incorporate a mouse and graphical user interface.
1985 Co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak leave Apple - Wozniak to start his own company, Jobs after a bitter boardroom brawl. The year also marks Apple's first major reorganization, with a reduction of just over one-fifth of its 5,700 employees.
1990 The company cuts 400 positions, mostly in general and administrative areas, including the Apple USA sales and marketing staff. Michael Spindler, following stints as the company's chief operating officer and head of Apple Europe, is appointed president.
1991 Apple announces another major restructuring, trimming 1,299 workers from its 15,600-person work force. Apple's stock reaches its all-time peak of $73 a share.
1993 Apple attempts to take the lead in the nascent PDA market with a Sculley favorite, the Newton; the board appoints Spindler as CEO, but Sculley retains chairmanship.
Newton sales languish and board members lose patience with Sculley, who is ousted and replaced by Apple old-timer Mike Markkula. Following the passing of the torch, the company posts a loss of $188.3 million, attributed to a one-time restructuring charge of $320.9 million, which includes the reduction of 2,500 of the company's 16,500.
1995 The calm before the current storm: Apple generates record revenues of $11 billion for the fiscal year.
1996 Exasperated by the company's continued rudderless drift, Apple's board ousts Spindler and installs corporate turnaround artist Gil Amelio. Amelio embarks on a 100-day mission to formulate restructuring strategy.
After posting a $69 million first quarter loss, the bloodletting begins. Amelio announces that the company will cut 1,300 employees as part of a restructuring plan to reduce 8 percent of its work force.
Between January and September, Apple trims its work force by more than 3,000.
In March, Amelio announces a second-quarter loss of $700 million after the write-off of inventory - a far cry from the days when the company boasted of billion-dollar revenues.
Prior to announcing a $816 million loss for the fiscal year, Amelio heralds the homecoming of Jobs, who returns as part of the $400 million acquisition of NeXT.
14 March 1997 Apple announces it will cut 4,100 people. The company waits until the markets have closed to make the announcement; stock closes at 16.5625 - down more than $56 from its 1991 high of $73.
9 July 1997 Amelio resigns, as does close lieutenant Ellen Hancock, executive vice president for technology. Amelio will be replaced on an interim basis by Fred Anderson, the company's chief financial officer.

Fleetwood revel in chance to look down on Southport
Jamie Vardy's former club meet old rivals under very different conditions
It was New Year's Day 2012 and a young centre-forward had just scored a brace in a game that had become one of the most heated in non-league football.
Fleetwood Town had finished above Southport two seasons earlier and were ready for automatic promotion, until Farsley Celtic folded and their results were deemed void. The league table changed. Seasons are long, memories rarely fade. Southport moved above Fleetwood Town in the Conference North table and into the Conference.
Fleetwood had to psychologically restart their engines, way past the 11th hour. They managed to do it, and went up themselves in the playoffs.
Bad blood still lingered for that New Year's Day fixture when Fleetwood travelled 38 miles south to Haig Avenue, now, officially at least,

text: Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has confirmed that the trilateral Indo-Iranian-Afghan pact for the development of Chabahar Port in the south of Iran will be signed during his and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to Tehran next week. The three countries finalized the text of the trilateral transport and transit pact last month. The deal will serve as the legal framework to operate trade corridors with the Iranian port of Chabahar as its main hub, Afghanistan's Presidential Office announced. Ghani's trip to Tehran is planned to coincide with that of Modi on May 22. Located in Sistan-Baluchistan Province, Chabahar is of great strategic importance for the three countries. It lies outside the Persian Gulf and is easily accessible from India's western coast. The port gives India a sea-land access route into Afghanistan through Iran's eastern borders.
