Paperwork for candidates for any office in Ohio who want to appear on the March primary ballot is due by 4 p.m. Dec. 18 at their county board of elections, said Aaron Sellers, spokesman for the Franklin County Board of Elections.
Incumbent Franklin County officeholders intend to seek reelection in 2020.
What remains to be seen is how many will face challengers on a packed presidential election year ballot, with the Ohio deadline for candidate filings for the March 17 primary quickly approaching.
Paperwork for candidates for any office in the state who want to appear on the ballot is due by 4 p.m. Dec. 18, said Aaron Sellers, spokesman for the Franklin County Board of Elections.
A number of candidates have pulled petitions directly from the elections board. Others are obtaining their paperwork elsewhere, meaning the county office does not have a formal record of their plans.
County Clerk of Courts Maryellen O'Shaughnessy, a Democrat, already has submitted her candidacy petition, according to the elections board.
Other Democratic countywide officeholders have either pulled petitions from the county elections board or confirmed their candidacy, including Coroner Anahi Ortiz, Sheriff Dallas Baldwin, Treasurer Cheryl Brooks Sullivan and Recorder Daniel O'Connor.
Incumbent county Commissioners John O'Grady and Kevin Boyce, also Democrats, said they will seek reelection.
The Franklin County Republican Party endorsed its two incumbent, nonjudicial officeholders — Prosecutor Ron O'Brien and Engineer Cornell Robertson — in early September. Both are seeking reelection.
Michael T. Bivens, who secured a new term as Whitehall city attorney during this month's general election, said he's considering running against O'Brien for prosecutor. He said he'll make a formal announcement early next month.
On the judicial front, Common Pleas Judges David C. Young and Christopher M. Brown, both Democrats, and Probate Court Judge Robert G. Montgomery, a Republican, pulled candidacy petitions from the Board of Elections.
Others circulating petitions include Democrats Sheryl K. Munson, Carl A. Aveni II and George Woodrow Leach Jr., and Republicans Joshua J. Brown, Michael J. French and J. Kevin Cogan, according to the Board of Elections.

Webpack Isomorphic Loader
Webpack loader and tools to make NodeJS
require understands files such as images when you are doing server side rendering (SSR).
It contains three pieces: a webpack loader and plugin, and a library for your NodeJS app.
The webpack loader and plugin are for marking and generating a mapping for your asset files.
The Node library is for extending NodeJS
require so it understands your asset files by using the mapping.
$ npm install isomorphic-loader --save
With webpack and file-loader, you can do things like this in your React code:
; { return

}
That works out nicely, but if you need to do SSR, you will get SyntaxError from Node
require. That's because
require only understand JS files.
With this module, you can extend Node's
require so it understands these files.
It saves a list of your files that you want to be treated as assets and the extended
require will return the URL string like it would on the client side.
Configuring Webpack
First you need to mark all your asset files that you want
extendRequire to handle. To do that, simply use the webpack loader
isomorphic-loader on the files.
The webpack loader
isomorphic-loaderis just a simple pass thru loader to mark your files. It will not do anything to the file content.
You also need to install the webpack plugin
isomorphic-loader/lib/webpack-plugin to collect and save the list of the files you marked.
For example, in the webpack config, to mark the usual image files to be understood by
var IsomorphicLoaderPlugin = ; moduleexports = plugins: module: loaders: test: /\.$/i loader: "file!isomorphic" ;
You can also mark any file in your code directly:
After webpack compiled your project, the plugin will generate a config file
.isomorphic-loader-config.json in your
CWD and a JSON file with mappings of the asset files you marked.
more details about config and assets mapping files below.
Extending Node Require
To use the asset files mapping for SSR with Node, you need to extend
require before your server starts.
To do that:
var extendRequire = ; ;
Promise is supported:
It will use the config file
.isomorphic-loader-config.json in your
CWD generated by the webpack plugin.
If the config file is not found, then it will wait until it's generated. This is so you can use webpack-dev-server.
Custom Config Overrides
You can pass in custom overrides for the config when you call
config is an object, which will be deep extended into the object read from the config generated by the webpack plugin. Look inside the file
.isomorphic-loader-config.json to see what you can override.
For example, if you want to always use a different
The following config options for extend require itself are supported:
startDelay- Delay extendRequire start. More details here
processAssets- A call back that will be called every time assets is loaded and set. It should take assets as the only argument and returns the new assets that's been processed.
webpack-dev-server is automatically detected and supported.
There is no easy way to detect webpack-dev-server, but if you use its CLI, then it changes
"/". Since it's unlikely anyone would do that, when that is the case it's assumed that webpack-dev-server is running.
The webpack plugin accepts an object
webpackDev in the options with two configs for webpack-dev-server.
webpackDev.url- The URL to the server. Default:
webpackDev.addUrl- A flag to toggle adding the dev URL to the final asset URL. Default:
In example:
webpackDev: url: "http://localhost:8080" addUrl: true ;
With the above config, your assets will be resolved to
http://localhost:8080/<publicPath>/<hash>.<ext> when loaded with
They are resolved to
When webpack-dev-server refresh modified files,
extendRequire will also auto refresh.
Reloading Assets for Extend Require
It's not necessary, but if at any time you wish
extendRequire to reload the assets, then you can use the
loadAssets API.
var extendRequire = ; extendRequire;
Deactivating extendRequire
If you wish to deactivate
extendRequire during run time, then you can use the
deactivate API:
Reload assets to reactivate.
extendRequire detected that webpack-dev-server is running, it will set
process.env.WEBPACK_DEV to
"true" before returning to your server startup code. If you don't want that, set
webpackDev.skipSetEnv to
true in the plugin options:
moduleexports = plugins: webpackDev: skipSetEnv: true
Config and Assets Files
The webpack plugin creates a config file in your
CWD and an assets mapping file in your webpack output directory.
The default name of the mapping file is
You can configure the name when you initialize the plugin. For example:
assetsFile: "assets/isomorphic-assets.json";
It will also save in the config the
publicPath from your webpack config.
Here is how the generated config file might look like:
Since webpack-dev-server keeps output in memory, the assets mapping is saved to the config also when it's detected.
Auto Removing Config
To avoid immediately starting in webpack-dev-server mode when a config file already exist. The webpack plugin automatically remove the config file at startup. If you don't want it to do that, pass in an option
keepExistingConfig as true:
moduleexports = plugins: keepExistingConfig: true
Start Delay
Even with the plugin removing the config file, if you take the approach of starting your sever and webpack-dev-server together, then there's a high chance your server could start before the webpack plugin has a chance to remove the config file.
To avoid that,
extendRequire automatically delays a short time (500ms) before starting.
You can configure that value when you call
extendRequire. For example, set it to zero to start immediately.
Usage with CDN Server
If you publish your assets to a Content Delivery Network server, and if it generates a new unique path for your assets, then you likely have to set
publicPath after webpack compiled your project.
That's why webpack's document has this note in the section about
Note: In cases when the eventual
publicPathof output files isn't known at compile time, it can be left blank and set dynamically at runtime in the entry point file. If you don't know the
publicPathwhile compiling you can omit it and set
__webpack_public_path__on your entry point.
In that case, you would have to save the path CDN created for you and pass it to
extendRequire with a custom config override, or you can just modify the config file directly.
If your CDN server generates an unique URL for every asset file instead of a single base path, then you have to do some custom post processing to update the asset mapping files yourself.

"Keystone itself represents the export of about 40,000 jobs," he said, suggesting that a trans-Canada pipeline, including a link to a tide-water port for export, is the priority. "If you have a Canadian government that's acting in the best interests of all Canadians, then moving [Alberta's oil-sands crude] from west to east is important," he said.
He said he wanted to outline to Americans, "the NDP vision for the future," and that includes explaining his support for major national projects – such as a major west-to-east pipeline – that knit Canadians together.
Manning said it was time for Conservatives to take a "proactive" approach to the environment.
"There is a major job to be done in mobilizing grassroots support for environmentalism," Manning said.
The former Reform party leader, who has long sought to connect conservatism and conservation, said there should be room for green Conservatives or grassroots conservationists under the conservative tent.
"We seem to feel like someone else has the high ground but on the environmental front, the truth is, nobody occupies the high ground."

Castel del Monte – Templar castle?
There seems to be some controversy as to whether or not Castel del Monte was a Knights Templar castle.
Excerpt from Chapter 9 of 'Jesse James and the Lost Templar Treasure'

Book endorsements for Jesse James and the Lost Templar Treasure
After years of researching, taking notes and then compiling all of that into a book, it takes a toll and a large piece of myself is in that book. It's out there for the world to see and to judge. Getting a good review and good endorsements can melt that worry away.
Review of 'Jesse James and the Lost Templar Treasure'
I could go on and on about this one, but I'll spare you and get right to it. I really enjoyed the entire review, but my favorite part of this review is when Kris Helt writes: "Duke fulfilled this objective all the way to 5-stars. If you love history, mysteries, treasure hunting and of course Jesse James, do not hesitate to give your full attention to Jesse James and the Lost Templar Treasure."

Hair from Olive Films, plus TV's Wonder Woman, Kino's June slate, and a great new podcast by Roger Deakins!
Today's post is just a quickie because I'm working hard to finish up some long overdue Blu-ray reviews.
I should add a note here to acknowledge the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has proven quite a challenge for all of us, and it's no different here at The Digital Bits. Title announcements have been delayed, many of our studio and industry contacts have either been working at home or furloughed, screener product has been delayed or cancelled, etc. And of course, as is probably the case with many of you, our own lives have been turned upside down. It's required a lot of shifting of schedules, workflow, energies, and effort. And some of the review work I usually do personally has gotten waylaid by having to deal with other issues to keep the site going.
The good news is that we seem to be rolling with it all fairly well, and Tim, Dennis and our other Bits team members have been doing yeoman's work filling in. That said, I do very much appreciate whatever support you guys—our readers—can provide in this difficult time, either by continuing to purchase items through our Amazon links and/or making contributions by a PayPal in our Back the Bits program. And I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you all for sticking with us. We have the best readers on the Internet. Some of you have been with us all the way back to the beginning of the site back in 1997. And we appreciate each and every one of you. [Read on here...]

New Severin Blu-ray reviews, plus Scream's Escape from LA extras, additional KL Studio Classics titles & more
All right, we're closing out another week in pandemic isolation with some new reviews and a bit more announcement news...
First up those reviews... Tim has checked in with a look at FIVE recent Blu-ray titles from our friends at Severin Films—running the gamut from Eurosleaze to erotic to the rarely-seen and undervalued—so here are his thoughts on Just Jaeckin's Gwendoline (1984 – aka The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak), the Russian genre film Viy (1967), Jess Franco's Cries of Pleasure (1983) and Night of Open Sex (1983), and Leopoldo Savona's Byleth: The Demon of Incest (1972).
And yes, we recognize that some of these aren't for the faint of heart or for mainstream audiences (particularly those titles we had to blank out the cover art on or Google advertising will flag it), but the range of cinema on disc is wide and far-reaching. There's something for everyone. And they can't all be Star Wars or Marvel films. So there you go. [Read on here...]
A round-up of upcoming Kino Lorber Studio Classics catalog Blu-ray titles & more
All right, we've got one more new Blu-ray review for you today, which is Dennis' look at JJ Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker from Disney. You can find that here. [A warning though: The review contains major spoilers for the film. Proceed with caution.]
Now then, our friends at Kino Lorber have announced a tons of great new Blu-ray catalog titles coming over the next few months. So let's get right to it...
Starting on 5/5, look for Guy Hamilton's An Inspector Calls (1954), Fred Coe's A Thousand Clowns (1965) and Me, Natalie (1969), John Boulting's Brighton Rock (1948), and Basil Dearden's Pool of London (1951).
Following on 5/12, look for the Barbara Stanwyck Collection (including Internes Can't Take Money (1937), The Great Man's Lady (1942), and The Bride Wore Boots (1946) in a box set), the Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema II (including Thunder on the Hill (1951), The Price of Fear (1956), and The Female Animal (1958) in a box set). [Read on here...]
The Invisible Man official, plus classic Dr. Who films on BD & Sony's Columbia Classics 4K Collection detailed
All right, we've got some more release news today and a follow-up on recent news as well...
First though, Tim has turned in his thoughts on Andrew Lane's Jake Speed (1986), recently released on Blu-ray by Arrow Video.
Now them, first up today: I've officially confirmed with Universal Studios Home Entertainment that they have not officially announced the release of Steven Spielberg's Jaws on 4K Ultra HD yet. HOWEVER... they will be doing so soon. So we'll have the officially details for you when they do.
I guess this is a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, or more likely there are simply a LOT of people who need to weigh in and approve such things before they get officially announced. Which we expect to happen soonish. [Read on here...]

Blues Brothers 4K will have BOTH cuts, plus The Mask of Zorro 4K, Parasite 4K in the States & more
I've spent (and continue to spend) most of the afternoon today chasing down interesting leads regarding upcoming Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD releases. As a result, we've got a couple of good items for you today...
First though, we've got another new BD review from Tim, who checks in with his thoughts on Fred Wolf's animated The Point (1971), now on Blu-ray from the MVD Rewind Collection. Be sure to give it a look.
Also today, we've updated our 4K Ultra HD Release List (with some new UHD titles I'm about to mention) and also our Release Dates & Artwork section with all of the latest Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K cover art and Amazon.com pre-order links. By the way, if you find that the section is missing some titles, it's due to issues on Amazon's side, not our end. They're just making it very difficult for some titles to be found in their database for whatever reason. But we do appreciate your support when you order titles from them though our links—it matters, and we're grateful for it. [Read on here...]

We bring the inspiration to you.
Latest feedback:
'I'd like to say that I thought this morning's breakfast went very well – in particular, the panel format produced an intelligent, relevant, flexible discussion and was so much better than the usual after-dinner speakers doing their standard corporate-circuit speeches. I did walk away inspired, I did take notes and I am planning to take action!'
Guest at ACS Gender Parity breakfast, Zinc at Federation Square.
'Thank you for your contribution as MC to the Women@Work Conference. The conference was a wonderful success… It led to 25 organisations undertaking the Victorian Government Gender Equality Pledge.'
Hon Natalie Hutchins, Minister for Women.

09 May 2008
Shell said the decision to sell its 33% stake in the £2bn London Array off the coast of Kent was part of an "ongoing review of projects and investment choices" and was not part of any major rethink about renewables versus other oil and gas projects.
But environmentalists will see the decision to drop one of only two renewable schemes being worked on by Shell in Britain as a further sign that the company is retreating back to hydrocarbons at a time when the price of oil has risen to about $120 a barrel.
Shell, which earlier this week reported first quarter profits of £4bn, has been selling off much of its solar business while moving more into Canada's carbon-heavy tar sands. The Department for Business said last night that a number of successful offshore wind projects had seen changes of ownership in the past "and we would therefore anticipate that the project will be able to proceed".
But Shell's partner, E.ON, expressed disappointment at the decision and made clear the project was now on a knife-edge. "While we remain committed to the scheme, Shell has introduced a new element of risk into the project which will need to be assessed," said Paul Golby, chief executive of E.ON UK.
"The current economics of the project are marginal at best - with rising steel prices, bottlenecks in turbine supply and competition from the rest of the world all moving against us."
The London Array is a vital part of the government's plans to produce more low-carbon power as North Sea oil and gas runs out and climate change bites. The wind farm, 12 miles out to sea, would provide 1,000 megawatts of clean power - more than double the amount of Britain's existing capacity of 400MW.
Britain is already struggling to meet the EU target of producing 20% of the country's total energy from renewables by 2020. That target has been reduced to 15% but even that is a major leap given the current level of 2% - a figure that has not increased for several years.
Last week, plans for a massive wind farm on the Hebridean island of Lewis were scrapped after Scottish ministers decided the turbines would devastate an important peatland.
The government said yesterday it was doing all it could to help win new schemes which will play a vital role in helping it meet the EU target.
"Because this technology is new, we are seeking powers to provide additional financial incentives to offshore wind as well as making connection to the grid easier as set out in our energy white paper," it explained.
"We have announced plans to open up the UK's seas to a massive expansion of offshore wind - enough to potentially power the equivalent of every home in the UK by 2020. Three new offshore wind farms are due to be completed by the end of this year and we will shortly become the leading country in terms of offshore wind operating capacity."
Shell said its decision to dispose of the shareholding in London Array was part of its normal business practice. "We constantly review our projects and investment choices in all of our businesses, focusing on capital discipline and efficiency," it said last night in a written statement.
The retreat should not be seen as an indictment of the tax treatment of renewable schemes, it insisted.
"We emphasise that the UK government has established a positive policy and support framework for offshore wind projects and the decision to divest our equity is not related to this support.
"Indeed, the government and NGOs have been very supportive in taking the project thus far and we are hopeful that it will proceed as planned," it added.
Nor should it be interpreted as disillusionment with wind projects generally, Shell argued. It pointed out it was involved in 11 such operations spread across the US and Europe, with a total capacity of around 1,100 megawatts - of which Shell's share was 550MW.
But Shell has in recent years been selling off much of its solar business while its rival oil group BP - under new chief executive, Tony Hayward - has also talked about selling part of in its alternative energy division, abandoned a carbon capture scheme in Scotand and moved into the Canadian tar sands for the first time.
BP was the first oil company that seemed to understand the importance of climate change, with its former chief executive, John Browne, once promising to go "beyond petroleum."
The company's new boss insists that the "green" agenda has not been dumped and he points to the investment in United States wind farms and commitments to biofuels.
But the £4bn the company is spending on renewables over 10 years compares with well over double this amount being poured into oil and gas investment annually.

Homemade Wassail- The Best Recipe I've Found Yet- Drink for Tonight!!!
October 31, 2012 61 Days of Fall
I have been on an endless quest to find the best wassail recipe (a hot mulled cider). Wassail is a staple hot drink for me and I have tried many recipes… some have just apple juice, some have added cranberry juice, and some you have to cook overnight. This recipe was one we used for our Murder Mystery party a few weeks ago and I have tweeked it a little bit to make it work just a little better. I can't begin to tell you how savory, yet sweet, this hot drink is. It hits every taste bud at the perfect level and you can't just drink one cup. Even my teenage daughters have taken a mug of it each cold morning on their hour long morning bus ride, then shared it with their friends who now have asked me to make it on the cold nightsRead More

Everything You Ever Wanted to Be
TEXT BY: Penny Orland,
public speaker and blogger at SoHumorMe
A Polite Society Magazine Classic
(Excerpt from October 2011 "Just for Fun" article.
For full article, please visit the website here.)It's Halloween. The autumn leaves are turning to colors of the season. Orange and brown leaves hang on the branches, dangling by a thread. The air is crisp and cool at night. The moon seems brighter in the dark sky, at times thrusting its light through cloudy skies and casting creepy halos. If you listen carefully, you can hear the low moans of ghosts, goblins, and werewolves. Zombies, mummies, skeletons, and other monsters, followed by an occasional ambulatory yellow M&M, lumber down the streets.Read More

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Mary Elizabeth Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.*All Photography by Felicity Photography unless otherwise noted.

A Pumpkin Poem
One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
(I really am quite proud of that.)
But there is something I'll admit
That has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed, you see.
Now will it grow inside of me?
(I'm so relieved since I have found
That pumpkins only grow in the ground!)

A Love Letter to Halloween Pumpkins
Text and Photography by Joe Armstrong
The history of the jack-o'-lantern can be traced back to Ireland, where our ancestors carved ghoulish faces into turnips or potatoes in order to ward off evil spirits, primarily that of the protagonist of a folk tale who went by the dubious name of "Stingy Jack." Apparently after numerous shady dealings and shenanigans with the devil, Jack was banished from both heaven and hell and was then doomed to roam the Earth with only a burning coal to light his way. Poor Jack.
Like many traditions, the story and practice morphed when Irish immigrants brought it with them to the New World. Pumpkins are indigenous to Central America, and when the tradition of carvingRead More

My sister, Nanette, is one of these kindred spirits. You might remember her from her Halloween House Tour submission. Well, we, of course, had to feature her again! She is one amazing gal and her love for Halloween is a shared sentiment in almost exact measure as mine. Ever since we were young, she and I have always had a kinship whenRead More

WC-ULI's emerging Trends in Property Europe of 2013 report shows that Istanbul was ranked 1. for the previous 2 years and rated on top again in 2013 for "development prospects.
WC-ULI's emerging Trends in Property Europe of 2013 report shows that Istanbul was ranked 1. for the previous 2 years and rated on top again in 2013 for "development prospects. The Istanbul real estate market is precisely Turkey's star performer when it comes to attracting investors from all corners of theworld. Historically, it has always been the number 1 destination in the country for domestic property sales, and in 2015, it overtook the Mediterranean region of Antalya as the most popular destination for foreign real estate buyers in Turkey.
Some Benefits of Istanbul Real Estate Market
One of the world's youngest and best thrilling cities. Current population is about 15 million, increasing 250.000 a year. Number 1 city in Europe for capital increase. Anticipated 500,000 new buyers annually for both commercial and residential property. More than 60% of its population is under the age of 30. And high rental income with returns above 6-10%, long term local tenants. Istanbul's strategic position leads a lot of global companies to establish their regional headquarters in the city to manage markets in the surrounding region.
Global Business and Tourism Hubs
Istanbul's tourism trade goes from strength to strength as mass marketing by the Turkish government is increasing it to 1 of the top visited destinations in the country. It beat the likes of other major cities like Rome regarding visitor numbers in 2014. The following 2 years took a dip but rebounded in 2017 and 2018 looks to be its best successful year yet.
Additional, even though it is the number one centre in Turkey for economy, business and finance, the Turkish government is turning into a global powerhouse with branded campaigns like Invest in Turkey. Finally, is Turkey's plan for the Istanbul International Financial Centre, a mega project which will be the country's equivalent of Wall Street.
New Face of City: Branded Lifestyle Projects
One powerful reason of investing in Istanbul real estate is taking off is the mass of new branded home projects, particularly forming on the outskirts of the main city centre. Brand new modern houses with modern architecture are being mixed with a range of social and community facilities to redefine the concept of neighbourhoods in is Turkey's biggest and best populated city.
Growing neighbourhoods like Beylikduzu and Kucukcekmece offer all the advantages of city life with easy access to nightlife, shopping and transport links.
While the coasts of the Bosphorus and areas like Sisli still remain the elite of Istanbul real estate markets, neighbourhoods like Buyukcekmece and Esenyurt with these new branded lifestyle projects are enabling the expanding middle class to become property investors for less than £100,000 for properties in Istanbul.Last Updated: 4/8/2019 6:04:30 PM

Rap music, once a new offering thought to fade, still serves as a method of expression for today's music artists. Rap artists originally performed for select audiences. Decades after its initial appearance, however, the international music community continues to embrace the art form. Many music hopefuls enter the business with little to no experience, and promoters seeking new talent must understand the various methods necessary in establishing a new artist.
Require that the potential artist audition. Many new artists attempt to enter the rap community, only to fail in gaining popularity. A promoter believes in his artist. Prior to agreeing to promote him, ask that he perform for you. Also, ask that he write his own work. Merely reciting another's composition does not require the same talent as composing your own.
Once you establish the talent and writing skills of the rapper, introduce him to the public. A rapper generally does not require a large stage, needing only a microphone and turntable. Print flyers, advertise in local newspapers, and request radio interviews. Meet with radio personalities prior to the performance. This provides immediate contact with the audience, as well as show promotion. When managing a new artist, seek methods of audience-building.
Create a mix tape. Record the artist live, in a number of venues once he composes enough solid material. The mix tape serves as a rapper's primary source of publicity, and can help him to receive large-scale attention. Distribute the tape, but give away a few of the first samples as well, as not all potential audience members pay for an unestablished artist. Free, word-of-mouth publicity serves the artist.
Hold a showcase. Industry members continually seek out new talent, and in the rap community, established artists maintain their relevance and crispness by collaborating with new talent. Decide the rapping style of the artist prior to distributing his mix tape to industry members, as they only attend if his method of rapping fits their vision.
Piggyback an established artist. Request that an established label mate support your artist's exposure once he receives solid interest from a label, and a contract. Though his contribution may be minor, possibly consisting of a few lines, if the delivery offers something unique, his popularity will grow. He promotes his own work in this method, and a new audience will partially come from that of the established artist.

Building Sprites?
So, I was rummaging through all the folders of the games, learned how to create class mods, modify trinkets, make new quests, but I haven't managed to find a single sprite for a tavern, or abbey, or anything! Is it just impossible to change them? Is this why there's no building reskins anywhere? That's just kinda strange, where does the game even get them?

Joining the Al Capone on the Chicago Crime Commission's list of the world's most dangerous men takes a lot of "evil-doing." He is considered the best student of Pablo Escobar, but he did some things even Escobar wouldn't do in the process of achieving his fame and profit. With a trail of bodies rivaling any international war and over 1 trillion dollars spent to hunt him and his allies down while leading Sinaloa, El Chapo is a miracle in the criminal underworld.
Joaquín Guzman aka El Chapo while the Supreme leader of Sinaloa, the largest Narco empire in the world, found himself at the center of world's largest and bloodiest cartel wars and drug overdose-related deaths in history. Pablo Escobar had many enemies and did a lot of evil things to build his billion-dollar empire. However, with changes in time and tighter rules after his death, his successor had to be smarter, and as expected, more evil and El Chapo achieved that rank by pulling off some moves that superseded all the wonders of Pablo Escobar.
Starting a Cartel War Over a Handshake Snub
Proving a point as a leader is an essential thing for any cartel leader, but El Chapo just took it a step too far. The peace treaty between the Juarez Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel would have been achieved in 2004 saving both the cartels and law enforcement a lot in money and lives. El Chapo, however, surprised the world by turning a peace mission into one of the Fiercest cartel wars in Mexican history. The Juarez cartel was gaining ground and Sinaloa was not ready for this.
The first peace discussion was between El Chapo and Rodolfo Carrillo the brother to Vicente Carrillo the Juarez, cartel boss. Walking away snubbing Chapo's extended arm after concluding talks was just too much to bear. Do not kill the messenger is the rule of the game even in narco empires but stressing the need for respect called for the cruelest punishment for Rodolfo. El Chapo ordered Rodolfo killed alongside his wife while coming from a cinema. Vicente got angry and replied by having Arturo Guzman, El Chapo's brother, killed. The resulting war ended in 9500 sad deaths in street fights and retaliatory killings.[1]
Supplying a Line of Coke for Every American in 4 Shipments
El Chapo is believed to have shipped over 200 million tons of coke to the US as the Sinaloa boss in less than two decades. Moving a ton of cocaine over the Mexican border into the USA is a hard task whether you do it by water, air or on land. Guzman was however so aggressive that he combined the power of every means of transport to ship his product. He practically supplied 328 million lines of coke in 4 shipments as explained by Adam Fels the assistant US attorney that headed the prosecution trying to tell the danger posed by El Chapo to America and the rest of the world.
This is the equal of 40 tons of coke. At an average of 10 tons per shipment, you would have to invest in a very complex set of shipping units to conceal that. This means the speed and quantity of supply by the Sinaloa cartel was so advanced if compared to Pablo Escobar's methods which could only manage about 0.5 tons per flight. El Chapo is believed to have set up so many companies to act as fronts for his US supply that it was almost impossible to catch his shipments. While disguised as furniture shipment trucks and semi-trucks, El Chapo's cocaine reached the USA in enormous quantities.[2]
Inventing an Aid Agency for Shipping Cocaine
Every trafficker seems to read from the Robin hood book of Charity. Pablo Escobar built his fame in Medellin his home province by paying hospital bills, building churches and paying bills for the poor. For Pablo, this move got him a seat in parliament. El Chapo, however, took this to a whole new level. He decided to create an entire aid agency just for a shipment disguise. He used a fleet of cargo planes to move up to 14 tons of coke per trip from central and South America.
El Chapo had 747 jets with all seats removed to create more room for shipping cocaine. He used the fleet to move aid clothes and food to Colombia, Honduras, and other Central American countries. The return trips were large shipments of cocaine to Mexico. With such an unbreakable network, it became so difficult for law enforcement to bust El Chapo's shipments giving him two decades of successful sales for the Sinaloa. These efficient logistics saw the expansion of the Sinaloa to becoming the world's largest criminal empire shipping cocaine to 50 countries around the world.[3]
Sinking 20 Tons of Coke to Avoid Authorities
The ability of the Sinaloa under El Chapo to evade the authorities kept him from authorities for 20 years. Shipping dozens of tons of cocaine on every trip and successfully avoiding authorities on multiple occasions calls for some extraordinary measures. While headed for Puerto Vallarta in a crew ship with 20 tons of dope, they received a threat of being intercepted and simply sank the ship. A $600m worth of coke at street value. To be bold enough to drown such a shipment to save the cartel, it was evident that they had way more to protect. El Mayo would later order deep-sea divers to retrieve the coke.[4]
The cartel is believed to have set up a $50m fund to bribe a high-profile security official, enough to construct several miles of road for some cities. The bribes gave El Chapo control over hundreds of Mexican police officers, members of the armed forces, and even high-profile politicians. Most Mexicans believe that some of El Chapo's superman prison breaks were simply walk-outs and with such monies for protection, this may well be true.[5]
Using the Police to Assassinate a Rival Cartel Leader Felix Arellano
The head of the Tijuana cartel became one of Guzman's greatest enemies especially after El Chapo's closest ally; El Mayo switched sides in 1992. A failed assassination in 1992 left El Chapo and Arellano angrier at each other in one of the deadliest cartel turf wars in Mexico. After trying on far too many occasions to kill Arellano, El Chapo decided to use the cover of extrajudicial killing to take out his rival.[6]
Authorities cornered Felix Arellano in 2002, and a shootout led to nearly a dozen deaths on both sides. The fatal shot on the trafficker was, however, an intentional shot by a police officer that would later be uncovered as El Chapo's police hitman by Jesus Zambada in his testimony against his former boss in Brooklyn. It was El Chapo's greatest turf war victory since he crippled the Tijuana cartel to take almost full control over the US drug supply.
Turning a Maximum-security Prison Into the Base of Narco Operations
The Sinaloa cartel is the world's largest empire ever built by a convict. Pablo Escobar astonished the world by designing and building his prison and later escaping, but El Chapo simply moved his office from the streets to jail. The first eight years of his imprisonment coincide with the early glory days of his cartel. While his brother Arturo is believed to have been in charge of the ground operations, El Chapo created alliances and made the top decisions including cartel war maneuvers right from his prison cell.[7]
While in prison, he worked with Zulema Hernandez his partner and mistress and his brother to gain more root in Mexico in Plazas closer to the US border for operational efficiency. He received money in briefcases to pay off prison officials. After being arrested the second time in 2014, the cartel did not take any hit either. He is believed to have established a strong hierarchy all the way to ground operations for the giant empire; he still retained principal decision-making authority communicating through corrupt prison officers and using coded messages.
Causing Over 120,000 Drug-Related Deaths in His Reign
El Chapo's reign over Sinaloa was filled with the most violent cartel wars of all time. It may be seen as a coincidence for him to be the CEO of the largest cartel just as the events unfolded but he was no bystander. Since he took the top seat in cartel operations in the 80s, El Chapo personally instigated violent attacks against rival cartels and law enforcement. The Sinaloa is directly linked to 70,000 documented deaths between 2006 and 2016 in Mexico, but El Chapo's full 20-year reign is associated with the worst drug war bloodbath in history.
Journalists, police officers, students, political leaders, and church officials are all members of El Chapo's crime list in the court of public opinion. These deaths are the size of 6 gulf wars, and this may be more than enough to put anyone on the world's most wanted men list. The financial implication of the drug war on Sinaloa cost billions of dollars as well as not mentioning the thousands of drug overdose deaths.[8]
He Was Responsible for the Death of a Cardinal
Cardinal Posadas Ocampo was the Catholic church's highest ranking official to be assassinated after the attempt on Pope John Paul II. Mexico Being one of the world's most Catholic nations, everyone respects the church leaders, even Narco kings. Cardinal Posadas Ocampo of Guadalajara was killed by a stream of bullets while waiting for a Vatican City representative at the airport.[9]
He was just the wrong man at the wrong place paying for El Chapo's many crimes on his fellow cartel bosses. El Chapo did not personally kill the cardinal, but Felix Arellano mistook him for El Chapo while trying to avenge the 1992 assassination attempt. A judge in Mexico later acquitted El Chapo of the murder, but the fault still lays with him from an onlooker's point of view.[10]
Escaping a Maximum-security Prison in a Laundry Cart
El Chapo's first arrest was merely an embarrassment to law enforcement and the war on drugs. Not only did he find a safe location for running the cartel in prison, but he also escaped in a laundry cart in one of Mexico's most controversial prison breaks. El Chapo's January 2001 escape was most probably the world's most expensive prison breaks costing the cartel up to $3m. The subsequent 13-year long search by Mexican and US authorities would, however, be the most costly and shaming manhunts in drug war history.[11]
Investigations pointed at El Chapo having walked out of a cell into a laundry cart and then to a waiting Chevy. All these instances were the result of a well-coordinated prison break that saw 78 officials prosecuted for their role in the crime. Jesus Zambada in his testimony even claimed to have used the local police to move El Chapo to Mexico City after his escape from prison. However, after living like a king in the Puente Grande maximum prison for the eight years, El Chapo seems to have just decided to reduce his sentence to time served.
Escaping a Maximum-security Prison in a 1-mile Long Tunnel
El Chapo's second prison escape from Altiplano maximum prison, Mexico's most secure correctional facility, was a total abomination to both the US and Mexican governments. Spending over $2 billion in aid and losing over 10,000 law enforcement personnel hunting down one man only to lose him after months of arrest is just disgusting. After His first escape, the help of the DEA to help in his recapture became essential after a decade of hunting. However, after the second, the DEA also came under scrutiny especially with reports of compromised DEA officers.
It was the world's most major prison breaks of all time. The famous mile-long tunnel that led to a shower in prison allowed Chapo to march out of jail. The tunnel was connected to a house the cartel had constructed outside the prison just for that purpose. Many people did not believe the tunnel story by president Pena Nieto though; they believed he simply walked out of prison again. Either way, El Chapo had made his way to the top of the crime ladder living his complete life in a career as a criminal. Most people do not get to build and run a globally reaching cartel until they are 60 before happily retiring in prison.[12]

18 Jul A round up of kid-friendly safaris
On 8 July, Michelle Colman published this article in Tourismupdate and I just had to share it with you.
A safari can be a bit monotonous for junior members of the family, but an increasing number of lodges and reserves are offering age-appropriate programmes for youngsters. By Michelle Colman
Animal-shaped beds
Lukimbi Safari Lodge in the Kruger National Park welcomes children from two years upwards. "We have developed a programme for the children that runs daily for about one and a half hours while parents are doing their bush walk," says Sally Kernick, Marketing Director. "It includes going out with the guides, tracking and then making plaster casts of spoor which then go home with the children. They also get to make simple bracelets out of berries which they collect in the bush. They do artwork and learn about different animals and birds from the guides. We also have a children's playroom and play area which are fully equipped. But most popular of all with the younger children are our animal beds [with animal shapes incorporated into the design]." A children's menu is also available for meal times.
Dung beetle balls and birds' nests
Ipodimo Game Lodge in the North West Province has tailored a programme for the under-12s, running for two to three hours daily. The programme includes activities such as 'show and tell' where kids are encouraged to present items they find around the lodge such as dung beetle balls and birds' nests. Making plaster of Paris moulds of animal tracks, and animal masks using leaves and feathers are other pastimes. Each day follows a theme – Mondays, for example, are lion days, and children learn about their hunting and territorial behaviours. When a ranger is available, older children can learn about animal tracks, birds and the ecosystem on short educational walks. Junior ranger certificates are presented. Ipodimo is represented in South Africa by An African Anthology.
Three-day course for young legends
In the Entabeni Safari Conservancy in the Waterberg, Legend Lodges is well geared for kids, offering the educational Little Legends programme. Here the company operates the Legend Golf & Safari Resort. There are both short programmes of an hour or so, and longer conservation programmes of one or three days. They are reasonably priced from R50 (€3) to R450 (€28).
Nature treasure hunts, insect hide-and-seek and animal quizzes are some of the shorter fun activities. The more in-depth packages require five to 12 participants. Here kids are introduced to reptiles, predators, tracking, first aid basics and conservation. There are fun breaks for a dip in the pool, ball games and picnic. The three-day course ends with a certificate ceremony.
End the day with a Shangaan tale
The kiddies' programme at Tintswalo Safari Lodge and Manor House follows daily themes such as Shangaan culture, tracking, star gazing and insects and birds. For each theme a talk is given, a game drive conducted (snacks and drinks provided), followed by an activity such as painting or mould, collage and mosaic making. The day ends with some authentic Shangaan story-telling. The programme has been compiled by a professional edu-care au pair. Kids work with an activity workbook designed for children of school-going age, but activities for toddlers are organised too.
Madikwe 'cubz'
Tau Game Lodge in Madikwe offers a programme for young ones aged three to five years who cannot go on adult game drives. As members of the Tau Cubz Club, they are treated to hour-long mini game drives, treasure hunts, time spent in the playhouse and jungle gym area and arts and crafts. Kiddies get their own Cubz Club backpacks with wildlife activity booklet, which includes an animal sticker checklist, a deputy ranger sticker badge and certificate, as well as a special Tau T-shirt. Babysitting facilities are available on request at a nominal free.
Birds, fynbos and night skies
Inspired by their own family, Wendy and Mark Rutherford, owners of Gondwana Game Reserve on the Garden Route, have developed a range of children's activities and youth-focused initiatives. Their Junior Ranger programme has experienced rangers taking young ones out on game drives, giving them an appreciation of birds, fynbos and the night skies. They make items like their own fishing rods and spoor moulds. They complete a safari booklet as they go along, and at the end of it all, leave with a certificate and level 1 Junior Ranger patch. Other family-type activities include picnics, guided hikes, biking and fishing. The game reserve is located only 25 minutes from Mossel Bay.
Marine wonders from the beach
While not a bush safari, a stay at Machangulo Beach Lodge on the Santa Maria Peninsula in Mozambique offers exploration of marine life. Two reefs at the Inhaca Island Marine Reserve are accessible from its beach. "Kids – and grandparents too – can very easily sit in the shallows and experience some amazing underwater wonders," says Chris Nolte, Co-owner. Kids can also snorkel and fish from the beach. The lodge offers a menu and activity pack for kids, and babysitting services.
KZN wildlife options
According to KZN Tourism, the following lodges and game sanctuaries in the province offer kiddies' wildlife programmes: Thanda Private Game Reserve, Bayete Zulu Game Lodge, Emdoneni Lodge, Hluhluwe River Lodge and Phinda Private Game Reserve.

Back to the Garden…
June 15, 2011
I thought I had lost it forever.
When I had to leave my home during my divorce, I left behind extensive gardens that I had been working on for more than 10 years. Gardening was my passion, my creative outlet, my therapy.
Then I had to leave it, and it was devastating. I left that house in December, so in Wisconsin that means it wasn't able to be dug up, and I was moving into a rental, anyway. I felt the loss of my gardens keenly, and it hurt so much I stopped looking at gardens and landscaping, magazines and catalogs – all of it. I thought the passion had died.
Last year my Dad tilled up the space between the two porches of my duplex. I got a few plants "gifted" from friends gardens, and it made me happy.
This year? The plants have already been dug up and moved around; I've bought new ones, divided some, potted several pots and baskets and am frustrated that I don't have room for more!
It's back. The passion for gardening is flowing back through me and making me happy again. It hadn't died, it had just been pushed down while I dealt with all my other losses. Now I know there will be other gardens in my life and that love will always be there when you are ready for it to blossom again.

I garden too and I hear you about the emotional attachment to the flowers and the theraputic feeling gardening gives to us. I was able to dig up perennials from my house in Appleton when I moved to Menominee so I feel your pain to know you could not do that in December. Maybe the next garden will be better than ever. Take care, Laurie

I must admit to you that there are days when I start out to pray and that little impish voice in me will say "but you thanked God for this same thing yesterday, so why should you bother him to thank him all over again?"
….And the wiser one in me tells me that "God is never tired of hearing my voice and that I should never forget that he inhabits my praise," which I can assure you keeps the impish voice sulking in a dark corner and wondering what wise retort to come up with.
Unfortunately for the imp, it always falls short.
Yesterday was my son's birthday which was also a school day, even though he's of the opinion that such an important day should be spent eating cake and making merry – which is not a bad idea, however, we struck a good bargain – that boy can negotiate 😉
A bargain that he'll go to school for classes as usual and also join his mates for their scheduled outing to Ski-Dubai, with the promise that we would have a birthday dinner in the evening and also take him to the theme park to play during the weekend.
For some reason, I wasn't comfortable with the school outing and my niggling mind led me to pray with them and talk to him about being careful.
By mid-afternoon, the day was running smoothly until my phone rang and it was the school nurse. I detest getting such calls because it's never something to jump up and down over.
The lady nearly gave me a heart attack! Her slow narration on how some other boy got a bit rough at play with my son and mistakenly hit him in the eye had me chewing my nails in angst. A riot of emotions ran through me. I felt like having bionic powers and hurtling off to the school to grab my child, but a little voice told me to keep calm and thank God.
In relief, I thanked God, for it could have been worse. Asides from a slight redness and puffiness which had gone down, he's as beautiful as ever.
Which brings me to this point of my story.
Each new day is a present day, a new beginning and the fact that I thanked God yesterday for Grace, Mercy, Favour and hedge of protection over my family, should not make me not to thank him today and tomorrow and the next…
For we are told that when we commit our ways unto the Lord, our paths are established. There's nothing like too much praise when it comes to the goodness of God.
I hope that there's something that you are thankful for today.
