The second inter-dale war occurred in 1356 DR when Lord Lashan Aumersair of Scardale invaded a number of other dales. His forces quickly overcame Battledale, Featherdale and Harrowdale, and soon began invading Deepingdale and Mistledale.[1]
However, Cormyr, Hillsfar, Sembia and Zhentil Keep were displeased by Lord Lashan Aumersair's intentions, and an alliance was formed, which saw his defeat and the collapse of his "empire".[1]
Combatants[edit | edit source]
Thaeron, swordmaster to Lord Elmaer Oraun almost two centuries prior to the battle, who had been living under the guise of farmer Durthar Morgath, but revealing himself as "Thaeron, Rightful Swordmaster of Harrowdale", rallied men from northern Harrowdale to fight against Lashan, and was killed in the battle.[2]

On many fisheries, go to panfish bites can take place out over deep water. North Dakota's Devils Lake often sees deep-water basin patterns develop in over forty feet of water. We have found deep crappie patterns on Rainy Lake over fifty feet of water. Panfish locations in over twenty-five feet of water are fairly common whenever deep soft bottom basins exist.
On some fisheries, panfish typically suspend over these deep locations where you might be fishing in fifteen or twenty feet of water over thirty feet while other fisheries see panfish very bottom orientated where the fish are running along the bottom in thirty feet.
One of the most important variables that influence both how you fish and the presentation is water clarity. Stained water creates different challenges over deep water. Over deep, stained water, you can mark fish on your electronics all day but the fish open up only during short windows where the sun offers good light penetration. We see this scenario a lot on Devils Lake when fishing over deep water. Our best deep water perch days are often days with a high sun but even with a high sun, there might be a couple of narrow windows in each day where the fish are eating. Besides stain in the water, another variable that can influence deep fish patterns is the amount of snow cover. Water clarity, sunlight and snow cover influence visibility over deep water… the same variables that can limit the use of an underwater camera also need to influence your presentation.
The visibility you encounter when using an underwater camera over deep water is a good litmus test. Usually, we use underwater cameras to "see" something but they also reveal just as valuable information when you can't see. Whenever you find yourself in a situation where your visibility is nonexistent or extremely limited when using an underwater camera, make adjustments to your presentation.
So often over water with good visibility, we fish above the fish and attempt to establish what the ceiling is for the fish. Not uncommon to see fish rise five feet or more to reach your presentation. When visibility is extremely limited, you are going to have to fish at the level of the fish and not expect any ceiling.
Another presentation adjustment is the jig stroke on the presentation. High lifts and sharp jig strokes can literally disappear in the abyss so the jig stroke has to become much tighter and your presentation can actually become more visible by keeping the presentation in one spot. What almost all of these patterns share besides the depth of water and lack of visibility is a forage base driven by invertebrates like freshwater shrimp or midge larvae that panfish can easily find and eat.
Because of the lack in visibility combined with depth, larger profiles are great for enabling these deep fish to find you but the challenge is getting fish to eat too big of a profile. Deep water creates some serious challenges for distinguishing a bite. Whether you are using a spring bobber or a finesse glass rod like the JM Meatstick Series, you don't actually see the fish suck the hook… what you are seeing when a rod tip drops or a spring load up is the fish moving away from the hole when fishing over deep water when you have thirty feet of line out. Imagine a fish sucking in the hook and coasting about a foot and a half from the hole, that is what it takes to drop a spring when fishing over thirty five feet of water. This is why larger profiles create some challenges, fish can see and find the large profile but they might not take that lure or bait and swim off with it far enough to distinguish the bite.
On the tougher bites, one of the best presentations I have ever found for this particular type of environment is a spoon with a chain dropper like Clam Tackle's Speed Spoon. A classic favorite for deep-water perch anglers, this same presentation also shines for crappie and bluegill whenever fish are in deep water where the visibility is compromised.
When light penetration is limited, there are three basic color schemes that are often the most productive: glow, dark and gold. Good glow paint can make a huge difference particularly when there is overcast or no high sun. Dark colors can consist of blue, purple or black and while these dark color schemes might lack shelf appeal, they are deadly over deep water and often under rated by many ice anglers. Gold can remain highly visible over deep water and often shines if there is any sun.
This is also a situation where live bait will often trump soft plastics because you need the fish to take the bait in their mouths and carry it as far as possible with what is often close to a dead stick approach. In water deeper than twenty five feet, I also believe that braided line in four or six pound test can give you a big edge over monofilament particularly when hooking up with fish. Monofilament just has too much stretch. You can use a mono or fluorocarbon leader but the leader is not always necessary. This is also a situation where a spinning reel shines because of the gear ratio and speed to get back down to the fish.
These deep panfish bites are often much better when there is a high sun particularly when the light penetration is greatly reduced by heavy snow and stained water. On overcast days with little sun, I have made a habit of avoiding these patterns and would much rather opt to fish much shallower patterns even if there are notably fewer fish. I also don't target deep fish when I don't plan on keeping fish for the table as most panfish that are pulled from thirty feet of water are going to suffer trauma. Deep patterns are typically catch and kill and you need to decide with your own circumstances whether it is ethical to fish. If there are a lot of small fish or unintended species, I often choose to move on. Because of the depth, you can also often shake fish off that either feels too small (like a six inch perch) or too big (like an accidental walleye that feels like it is well over twenty inches) by using a single hook and pinching down the barb. On many of the larger more established perch fisheries in the Dakotas however, many of our bites are over basins and transitions deeper than twenty feet of water and if the basin is thirty or forty feet or in the case of Devils Lake where some of the basin is around the fifty foot mark or deeper, you are going to sooner or later find yourself in a situation where you are fishing in water deeper than twenty five feet.

So I had an epiphany tonight when taste-testing some brussel sprouts….. I still hate them. That's it. That's the epiphany.
It was quite 'monumental' to learn that after 32 years on this earth, I still can't stand the texture or the taste. So after slaving over a hot microwave for three minutes to cook these bad boys, I promptly threw them in the garbage. Where they belong.
In all seriousness though, I can make a metaphor out of damn near anything, and brussel sprouts are pretty much like anything else you've tried or done in your lifetime that doesn't seem to get better. There are things we do in life that are still bad for us no matter how often we've tried or how many times go back to them. They still suck the life right out of us. And guess what…. like my brussel sprouts, you need to throw it in the garbage.
Emotional baggage, self-hate, trash talking one another? Brussel sprouts. Toss it out. Abusive relationships, negative friendships, exercise? Brussel sprouts. (Kidding about the exercise…. sort of, lol).
Here's the thing – we get sucked into thinking that the more we go back to something, the more we will learn to like it or to deal with it. We have this mindset that it will get better. "Just keep plugging away, things will get better."
And here's the thing: sometimes it doesn't.
Whenever we feel ourselves being sucked back into that cycle, for as long as we can, fight against it. I realize there are many instances when this is impossible (clinical depression, etc) without medical help. That's not what I'm referring to here though.
I am talking about more tactile things, changeable attitudes. Toss out the things not bringing you joy. Stop yourself when you catch that Judgmental Judy creeping in. Toss out the negative self talk when you look in the mirror.
What I'm saying is, don't eat the brussel sprouts. Resist. Throw it out.

What happens when we have millions of videos coming on our platform and we really want to promote those that are good in quality content? we have faced this challenge since the start. We wanted to solve this problem with AI backed solid scoring system.
Content Score
We will now help you enter your content data and suggest you on how you can improve it and cater more views. This is exactly like you are sitting in an exam and you know very well that more you will synchronize and give details about the topic, more you will be able to score well. Similarly, content score is the same thing in the process of video production. While uploading video content at tune.pk there are few scoring criteria all content publishers must follow.
This content score will depend on the following factors majorly. These factors are as given below.
We are now limiting title length to 120 characters and we recommend 50~70 Characters. Best practice is to set title in a way people can understand what are they going to get in the video. Simple the title, easy to understand by viewers.
Some of the Good Examples are
- Spider Man Far From Home Official Trailer | tune.pk
- Easy & Delicious Suhoor Recipes Ramadan 2019
Some of the Bad Examples are
- Spiderman movie mp4trailer
- Sunochanda2 HUMTV
Similarly, your title length, structuring also matters a lot. Our system will focus on Nouns, pronouns. It does not matter if you put a proper sentence but how you put it.
Some of the Examples for Good titles are
- Spider Man Far From Home Official Trailer ft Tom Holland | tune.pk
- Baaji The Film Teaser ft Meera & Amna Ilyas | tune.pk
What to avoid
- No spacing between words
- Adding Extension at the end e.g .mp4 .mkv
- Adding _ scores instead of spaces
- Word length should be less than 29 characters
When it comes to description, we have set a new scoring strategy. Description must contain 300 characters maximum. Longer description will affect the content score. Keep it simple yet informative.
Do's and Don't
- No slang or abusive words.
- Description must be simple, concise and to the point.
- Links can be used in the description to achieve good content score.
Tags and High definition
Tags and high definition plays role just like a back bone of good video content. Use of appropriate amount of tags in video is a plus and video could be easily found in google search.
What you need to know.
- Maximum tag Max length 20 tags and Min length 1 tags. E.g spider man,official trailer,2019 movie,
- Video quality matters. Good quality video will be considered as HD.
Channel Score
Channel score means the content provider must set a proper channel with the avatar, cover photo, about, and social links on the channel. Thus this will increase overall weightage of content.
Content Engagement
Content engagement means how much traffic/views are there on your video. Either these views are from embed or onsite. Comments and sharing will be also included in this. Engagement on each video with comments and sharing also set content score to better.
So this is how easy it is to achieve content score and make your content simply different from others.

Civil Society in Africa
Since the end of the Cold War, civil society organisations (CSOs) have become increasingly active in sub-Saharan Africa (Tripp 2018). Trade unions, student organisations, and church-based groups in sub-Saharan African countries can take a large share of the credit for the waves of political liberalisation and democratisation that swept across the continent in the 1990s (Gyimah-Boadi 1996). In its wake, the number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with human rights and pro-democracy agendas has been steadily growing. Many private, not-for-profit, voluntary organisations – which are autonomous from the state, and here collectively referred to as CSOs – are today active in monitoring government behaviour and pressuring governments in areas of human rights abuses, corruption, and violations of democracy. Their activism has threatened the hold on power of several government leaders in sub-Saharan Africa, and sometimes even contributed to their removal from office – for example in Burkina Faso in 2015, or in Senegal in 2012.
While a few governments have indeed initiated further democratic reforms and improved their human rights records in response to pressure from CSOs, many have reacted instead by either co-opting these groups or by cracking down on their activities. Figure 1 illustrates that the number of different forms of government-imposed restrictions on civil society groups is on the rise across sub-Saharan African countries. Since the early years of the new century onwards, governments in sub-Saharan Africa have imposed an increasing number of different restrictions on CSOs. Governments in Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia require CSOs to undergo cumbersome registration processes and criminalise those that fail to register themselves. The government in Niger, meanwhile, has banned several CSOs and prohibited others from travelling within specific parts of the country. Human rights groups in Rwanda continuously report a fear of government-sponsored harassment, and some have reacted by self-censoring their publications.
Yet, the upward trend in restrictions is not uniform across the continent. While Figure 2 illustrates that civil society in East Africa (Burundi, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, and Uganda) faced more restrictions in 2015 as compared to in the year 2000, there are also positive developments observable. Restrictions on CSOs in West Africa have markedly declined in the past 10 years. And, there have been no targeted policies and practices against CSOs in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Zambia since 2005.
Understanding the causes and consequences of government-sponsored restrictions on civil society is important for consolidating democracy. Independent CSOs are crucial for holding governments accountable for their behaviour. If the states start to interfere and control the operations of CSOs, human rights activists will find it harder to monitor and expose corruption, human rights violations, and other forms of government misbehaviour.
Associational autonomy is a fundamental precondition for democracy (Dahl 2015: 98). The citizen as an individual has limited power to effectively shape the political agenda. Independent CSOs allow citizens to effectively participate, then, in politics and to express their demands to those who govern their country, for example through lobbying, mobilising voters, and organising protests. CSOs are also loci of civic education, providing citizens with information and opportunities for discussion, deliberation, and the acquisition of political skills. Where governments repress or co-opt CSOs, they harm the exercising of democracy.
Causes of Restrictions
It is important to note that some African governments are more prone to restricting CSOs than others. International donors and their human rights advocacy shape governments' decision to "shrink" civic space. Researchers show that governments in countries receiving larger sums of overseas development aid tend to impose more foreign-funding restrictions on CSOs. In so doing, governments seek to prevent the growth of an independent civil society that could criticise its policies and potentially support its political challengers. For example, in 2009 the Ethiopian government adopted a law that prohibits CSOs from receiving more than 10 per cent of their overall funding from foreign donors. This policy threatens the survival of many civil society groups. Of the 2,275 Ethiopian CSOs existing at the end of 2009, only 1,701 were still active by the end of 2011. Only 12 or 13 of the 125 previously existing Ethiopian organisations working on human rights survived the foreign-funding law (Dupuy, Ron, and Prakash 2015). Since 1999, Angola, Benin, Burundi, Eritrea, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, and Zimbabwe have all adopted policies to restrict foreign funding for domestic civil society groups (Dupuy, Ron, and Prakash 2016).
If they do commit significant human rights violations, African governments impose more restrictions on civil society. Governments seek to silence the critical voices of civil society organisations – that could otherwise monitor and expose these abuses. This incentive for imposing restrictions on CSOs is stronger when governments face acute international pressure to honour their human rights commitments (Bakke, Mitchell, and Smidt 2018). Pressure to appear as a human rights-abiding member state of the international community originates from a number of sources. First, there are human rights treaties – such as the Convention Against Torture (CAT) or the International Covenant Of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). These treaties provide clear benchmarks for the criticism of human rights conditions. Governments that previously ratified a human rights treaty also subsequently find themselves under increased international scrutiny. They need to deliver regular reports on their human rights practices to treaty bodies such as the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which oversees compliance with the ICCPR. Treaty ratification can also spark civil society activism and put human rights on the political agenda, thereby channelling attention to a lack of government compliance in this area. Consequently, ratifying governments are more vulnerable to sanctions for any violations of human rights norms. If governments that previously ratified a human rights treaty lack the will or capacity to improve the human rights situation in their country, they tend to hide abuses – and therefore restrict critical civil society groups.
Figure 3 illustrates the relationship between human rights violations and the restrictions imposed on civil society groups across African countries between 1994 and 2016. While human rights-abiding governments employ on average fewer than 0.2 restriction types, African governments that more severely repress their citizens impose significantly more restrictions on civil society. The worst human rights abusers use on average nearly 3.5 different restriction types against civil society.
Figure 4 shows that governments that ratified the most prominent human rights treaty – the ICCPR – employ on average more restrictions against civil society compared to those that did not previously commit to this international human rights treaty. Overall, governments that severely abuse human rights and face international pressure to hide these violations are the most prone to shrinking the civic space. Second, international pressure to hide human rights violations and restrict civil society groups can also originate from governments' acceptance of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC works with CSOs on the ground to document the atrocities that fall under its jurisdiction, including genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Human rights-abusing governments seek to obstruct these working relationships between local civil society and the ICC. For example civil society groups in Kenya suffered defamation and harassment by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Vice President William Ruto, who have both been under investigation at the ICC for the atrocities committed after the 2007 elections. These elections were highly contested, and led to large-scale communal violence between different ethnic constituencies. Kenyatta and Ruto were allegedly involved in organising reprisal killings against members of the non-Kikuyu ethnic groups perceived as supporting the opposition. Upon being called for his first hearing at the ICC, Ruto publicly stated: "NGOs should stop interfering with government matters, writing letters to their donors abroad to support the ICC intervention, and compiling reports about post-election violence. It is none of their business" (HRW 2013: paragraph 12).
Consequences of Restrictions: The Case of Kenya
CSOs have responded to such restrictions in various ways. Overall, these responses reveal that the government cannot so easily diminish civil society's motivation and ability to inform on government-sponsored violations. Adaptation and resistance are constant features in the history of non-state activism in Kenya specifically, which has one of the most vibrant and diverse civil society landscapes in sub-Saharan Africa. Figure 5 below illustrates the Kenyan government-imposed restrictions and the reactions by CSOs to them, from 1992 to today.
During the era of rule by the authoritarian leader Daniel arap Moi (1978–2002), Kenyan civil society had to overcome a range of restrictive practices and policies. With the political opening up of the country in 1992, a growing number of NGOs became active in monitoring and exposing the anti-democratic behaviour of Moi and his administration. The government did not react favourably to this. It often ordered the use of excessive force to suppress demonstrations by critical CSOs. In 2001, the police arbitrarily detained 71 activists of the Release Political Prisoners Group, including prominent civil society leader Kivuthu Kibwana. The government also closely monitored CSOs' activities. National media and public speeches were used to defame the work of human rights defenders. Finally, the government misused the NGO Act to deregister critical civil society groups. Yet, many CSOs continued to operate and thus to criticise the government. In reaction to police violence, civil society activists wrote a letter of complaint to the police and engaged in consequent protests for example.
Under the democratically elected president Mwai Kibaki (2002–2013), the situation of Kenyan civil society activists improved. The government refrained from public defamation campaigns against CSOs. It was more responsive to civil society groups, such as to their requests to monitor the prison situation, and it also even built up partnerships with these groups in some policy areas. Despite these positive developments, the government of Kibaki did not fully call a halt to its restricting of the operating space of CSOs. Government agents continued to use excessive force during anti-government demonstrations. In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Kenyan government restricted the rights of critical and of Muslim CSOs, disguising these practices (such as the arbitrary arrest of activists) as counterterrorism measures. In 2010, unknown gunmen with alleged affiliations to the government killed two prominent activists who had been collecting evidence on police violence. While some activists fled the country, the majority of Kenya's civil society groups resisted government-imposed restrictions and continued to operate. Civil society staged several demonstrations against the new antiterrorism laws. In 2007, 40 CSOs united to defend Maina Kiai, the chairman of the National Commission of Human Rights and an outspoken critic of the government, against politically motivated corruption charges.
Finally, under the current presidency of Uhuru Kenyatta (2013–today), civil society in Kenya has suffered the most severe restrictions in the history of the country. The government has significantly increased its acts of harassment against human rights defenders, including the arbitrary arrest of civil society members as well as conducting raids on their offices and homes. On a number of occasions, government security personnel have used lethal force against demonstrators – leaving activists dead or injured. The Kenyatta government has also used antiterrorism measures as a pretext for clamping down on civil society activism.
Of course, the terror threat against Kenyan people is real – as shown by different high-profile terrorist attacks (such as the Westgate Mall one), while Kenyan security forces are currently involved in the fight against the Islamist group Al-Shabaab in Somalia. But this terror has also served as a welcome excuse for the government to exert tighter control over its critics. Government leaders also revived the strategy of defamation, which, as noted, had been previously used by the Moi regime (1992–2002). That is, government officials launched a public smear campaign to discredit the work of human rights activists – alleging them to be paid by foreigners and to be responding to external problems.
Beyond these restrictive practices, the government has also adopted several policies to "legally" restrict civil society activism. In 2014, it passed a new law that restricts the foreign funding of CSOs to a maximum of 15 per cent of their total income. In the same year, and in the following one too, over 1,000 CSOs were forced to deregister – including the prominent Kenyan Human Rights Commission (KHRC).
Civil society in Kenya is on its knees, but it is not altogether dead. Activists have had to relocate their homes out of fears of arrest. CSOs have had to close their offices. However, CSOs are also finding new ways of expressing dissent. They use music, paintings, and performances to voice criticism, and actively engage on social media too. Civil society groups continue to organise demonstrations against restrictions, and they seek to counter the narrative of the government by educating the public on how to distinguish facts from fake news. Many civil society groups threatened with or affected by deregistration continue to operate regardless, such as the KHRC for example. Beyond resisting restrictions, CSOs have also formed strategic partnerships with political leaders in an attempt to portray themselves as less threatening to the state. As of today, government-imposed restrictions have made it difficult for civil society to operate. Yet, they have not been able to prevent civil society groups from providing critical information to both domestic and international publics.
Kenyan civil society was remarkably resilient across all three restrictive regimes, resorting to creative adaptation and resistance strategies. Indeed, cross-national analyses also show that sporadic or only few restriction types being imposed significantly increase Amnesty International's public shaming campaigns (so-called Urgent Actions) as well as international media reports on human rights violations. Yet, if governments ratchet up repression and impose six or more different types of restriction, public criticism against the government tangibly decreases. Various restrictive practices and policies implemented together – such as bureaucratic obstacles paired with defamation, harassment, and censorship – diminish human rights defenders' ability to monitor the government and to publicly expose abuses through international human rights and media organisations (Smidt et al. 2018).
External Support – A Sensitive Issue
While the situation of CSOs has markedly improved in some countries (in most West African ones, for example, and in some in Southern Africa too), other governments in sub-Saharan Africa have found new ways of controlling and restricting civil society. Since the early years of the new century, CSOs operating on the continent have faced an increasing number of restrictions being imposed on their activities. Civil society space in sub-Saharan Africa is thus shrinking, but civil society activists also skilfully adapt to these imposed restrictions – and, indeed, find new ways of expressing criticism against the government as well.
International partners of African countries should be aware that their own policies may have detrimental consequences for government behaviour towards civil society. International campaigns promoting human rights have led to a government-sponsored backlash against domestic civil society. To alleriate international pressure, including investigation by the ICC, African governments have discredited human rights defenders and restricted their activities. International support given to human rights and civil society has prompted governments to justify their crack-down on CSOs under the guise of concerns about national sovereignty and foreign interference. The governments of Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and of other states too have accused CSOs of pursuing foreign goals and not being accountable to their own people. However, defending human rights and supporting civil society is not "imperialist." International partners should avoid playing into the hands of this rhetoric by authoritarian governments, by making their support more transparent and by communicating how it is beneficial to the population in the recipient country as a whole.
Governments in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere have also misused the international fight against terror to justify restrictions on critical civil society groups. International policymakers need to be sensitive to this justification strategy, especially if they rely on sub-Saharan African governments for effective counterterrorism operations. Researchers also find a connection between development aid and foreign-funding restrictions, arguing that governments fear the growth of independent civil society as a by-product of increased foreign aid. Donor states should make sure that development aid does not undermine civic space. CSOs and governments often compete for donor funding. If international donors are dissatisfied with government performance, they look for alternative partners in civil society. Reducing this competition for foreign funding between civil society and government, and providing more long-term resources to the former, can certainly alleviate some of the scepticism of governments towards foreign-funded civil society groups – and also help the long-term planning of domestic CSOs.
Finally, the G20 group – under the presidency of Germany, and with its Compact with Africa strategy – puts a special emphasis on private investments in African countries. Such investments can promote growth, and thus provide the basis for a vibrant independent civil society in African countries. Creating employment opportunities independent of the state certainly goes a long way towards alleviating civil society leaders' vulnerability to government co-optation. In the long run, it could free up resources for CSOs that are autonomous from both the government and from foreign donors (Gyimah-Boadi 1996: 129–130). In the short term, however, the current policy impetus to mobilise private investments in African countries should not lead policymakers to neglect the current situation of human rights defenders in their partner countries.

Elementary Writing (K-6th) Tutorial
How to Vary Words and Phrases in Sentences
Do you find yourself using the same words over and over when you write on one topic?
Does it frustrate you when your teacher adds a comment like "use a variety of words"?
There IS help for this. It's really because…
When we write we often write like we talk. The problem with this is that we usually repeat the same words or phrases frequently. Repeated wording causes our writing to become boring and our sentences sound alike. Here's help with easy steps to avoid repetition.
Sample Problem
Suppose your teacher asked you to write three sentences on the topic: swimming.
Then, let's imagine you wrote these three sentences:
1. I think swimming is fun.
2. I think that swimming pools are fun.
3. I like swimming because it's a fun thing to do.
This happens often when it's hard to think of what to say or what else to say after the first sentence. Sometimes we even just feel blank so that we can't come up with anything exciting to write.
So how can you turn these three boring sentences into three interesting ones?
Step 1: Take a colored highlighter and highlight the same word with the same color (in all three sentences).
(hint: "swimming")
1. I think swimming is fun.
2. I think that swimming pools are fun.
3. I like swimming because it's fun.
Use another color and highlight another word that is repeated.
(hint: "fun")
1. I think swimming is fun.
2. I think that swimming pools are fun.
3. I like swimming because it's fun.
Find another word that is repeated and do the same.
(hint: "I")
1. I think swimming is fun.
2. I think that swimming pools are fun.
3. I like swimming because it's fun.
Step 2: For each repeated word, keep only one in the three sentences, and cross out the other two.
1. I think swimming is
I think that swimming pools are fun.
I like swimming because it's fun.
Step 3: Replace the missing words with synonyms (words or phrases that mean the same) or new words.
1. I think swimming is enjoyable.
2. For me, water exercising, is even fun.
3. When my friends and I are in a pool together, we laugh and have a great time.
Step 4: Add some words to explain more about what you mean. You may need to take out a word or more to make the sentence clear and interesting.
1. If I'm thinking about going swimming, I get excited and have nothing but good, thoughts.
2. For me, kicking and moving my arms in water is the best exercise to make my body feel its in shape.
3. When my friends and I are at the neighborhood pool together, we play games and laugh so hard other people laugh with us.
Step 5: Read your sentences to yourself aloud and make certain they are interesting, make sense, and don't have repeated words. If you find an error, fix it. Then, be proud of your writing!

If last week's (nail-biting) episode of "The Knick" played like a home invasion thriller, this plays like another type of movie: the junkie drama. The main hook this round is the Dr. Thackery (Clive Owen) is out of cocaine. In fact, all of New York is out of cocaine, the ships that carry the plants required to make it having been under siege. As so often happens in life, what was a bout of altruism — Thackery et al. tending to black patients who had been assaulted during a race war targeting them — has come to bite him in the ass. He gave what wound up being the remainder of his coke to those in need, unaware that that was all that was left.
What this means for Steven Soderbergh — the show's director, cinematographer and editor — is he gets another chance to show off his filmmaking prowess. It's a markedly different kind of showing off than the speed and efficiency with which he handled a race riot and its aftermath. Thackery has spent the entire show so far mostly able to function without betraying his demons to others; indeed he can only function so brilliantly as he does because he's hopped up. (Any workaholic requires some vice to keep them going. Mine is buying Faberge eggs.)
This can't be conveyed through dialogue; Thackery is a guarded man, and though his withdrawal is such that people are finally actually remarking on how crappy he looks, he's not going to talk about it. That means Soderbergh had to find ways to convey Thackery losing it, succumbing to coke-fits, through image and sound, not dialogue. He doesn't settle for one method. Sometimes he presses the camera close to Owen, watching him squirm in a meeting while trying, badly, to stay calm. One time he performs a half-circle around him. Another time he simply holds on him while people outside the frame speak to him. When he's about to make a public presentation, Thackery sneaks to a basement and doses up with a secret stash. When his hopped-up self stands at the podium, confidently barking his speech, Soderbergh's camera dollies quickly towards him to capture the rush he's on, which is only bound to dissipate.
It does, and Soderbergh finds other varied ways to show Thackery's coming collapse, which happens, as it happens, during a surgical procedure, when a sweaty Thackery, his hair a mess of wet curls, can't even speak without slurring and suddenly has to excuse himself. The show understands the way workaholics, as well as full-on geniuses like Thackery, need that forward momentum — to always be in the moment, to never lose control. It doesn't matter what it takes to maintain that. Surely it's something Soderbergh himself identifies with: After he retired from movies, he found himself on a show that, as Matt Zoller Seitz broke it down in an excellent look at the show's visual and directorial style, must have taken 70 consistently jam-packed days to shoot and edit, let alone what came before and after.
The details of what transpires to Thackery in this episode is not without its cold turkey cliches. But it's really about getting you caught in the mindset of someone who's not only in thrall to drugs but to his job as well. It's not just the chemical feeling of having something vital to your biology no longer being pumped into your body that's at work here; it's the feeling of losing control and of no longer being able to do the thing that the drugs were taken to make happen. Thackery even has an enabler: He is now regularly shtumping Nurse Elkins (Eve Henson), who is so crazy about him she actually helps him get high as opposed to helps him get better. (The scene in bed when he chases a bonk session with dosing up is handled with an unnerving lack of fireworks. This is just how it is now.)
This episode isn't like last week's though; it's not about one thing. There's still work to be done, characters to drop in on, plots to keep moving. The hospital has largely recovered from the riot of last week, and we touch base with Dr. Edwards (Andre Holland) and Constance (Juliet Rylance), who are now officially a secret item, as well as Typhoid Mary, who charms her way back to freedom after four months of tests that have more or less proven she's infected and contagious, if not overtly sick. The judge can't see this and because everyone else was occupied, young Dr. Chickering (Michael Angarano) had to testify on behalf of the hospital. He whiffs it by losing his temper and insulting the judge — something Thackery probably knows not to do. But he's busy with his addiction, and so the world gets at least a little bit more of Typhoid Mary, who wouldn't be properly contained till 1907. That little bit captures Soderbergh's worldview at its essence: a mix of detachment, bemusement and horror. It's funny how easily unimaginable tragedy works.
Stray observations:
— Probably not a great time, this week, for an episode about Typhoid Mary cackling at her wouldbe medical jailers, skipping off to unwittingly infect probably loads more.
— The big stand-out scene — in terms of one that's also dialogue, not just Soderbergh finding inventive cinematic ways of conveying Thackery's biological rebellion — is his scotch-ridden encounter with Dr. Chickering's father. He wants his son removed from the hospital, which he senses is a "carnival," run by madmen. He's not wrong, especially since Thackery at the time can just barely speak. Then again, through madness lies progress. As he says earlier in the episode, "Good is not enough."

INB's Chief Financial Officer Brett Tiemann calls the bank's move to Chatham in 2002 "opportunistic." That same year, bank leadership PLANNED to build the bank's south and north branches, but Chatham just sort of fell into their laps.
"We got a call from the CEO of Palmer (a Chatham bank). He was looking to do other things and wondered if we were interested in acquiring the business. The opportunity made sense. It was a natural extension of who we were and where we were going."
At the time, Palmer Bank was located in a strip mall at 414 W. Main. Brett said, "We decided to build a new branch partly because we owned the lot at Plummer and Route 4. We thought it could serve our customer base and allow for growth."
Personal Banker Becky Beadle was one of the Palmer employees who transitioned to INB. She added that the INB management team was very thorough and made the entire staff feel welcome. And as the new building was being constructed, they took a trip every Friday to the new location to see the progress. "It was very impressive," she remembered. "A lot of people didn't even know we were in the old location because it didn't even look like a bank!"
She said of the experience, "INB gave us more opportunity and chances to do other things." The staff was especially impressed with the technology updates like online banking and debit cards "And," Becky added, "we didn't have to roll our own coins anymore! We got a machine."
Just as employees easily made the switch from Palmer to INB, Becky said customers who had lived in Chatham for years made the transition, too. "Customers were concerned when this new bank came to town," she explained. "But INB was a community bank like Palmer had been. The employees were the same." The change worked out well for everyone.
Branch Manager Kelly Raison assures everything continues to work well. "We have such wonderful customers," said Kelly. "They are like family. We know their spouses and their dogs. They always ask what's going on in our lives. We talk about their kids."
Kelly said becoming "family" means going out of their way to help customers. "For example, we had an elderly client who could no longer drive. We picked her up and drove her to the bank so she can get the cash she needed for the month. . . She really became part of our family."
Kelly said one customer routinely brings things in for her boys. Others share vacation pictures or simply let the staff know they've made it home safely from a trip. "And they call and check on OUR vacations. So they keep track of us as much as we keep track of them."
As Kelly summarized it, "Our products and services may be the same as somewhere else, but you have to come to INB to get us. . .You just get a great feeling when you bank with INB."
Our employees get a reciprocal vibe from the Chatham community. Chatham resident and INB Mortgage Lender Todd Weir often works out of our Chatham location. He said, "I've lived here 19 years, and new housing doesn't seem to stop."
Because of the service he provides to the community, Todd said he's pretty well-known in the community. "My kids count how many people I talk to when we go out." The number is understandably high when you consider Todd estimates providing the lending package to between 4 and 500 Chatham homeowners. Just days before this interview, he'd closed a mortgage for a 74-year-old and 75-year-old couple who were buying their first home ever. "The woman cried. It was hard not to shed a tear with her."
He said, "I have a great job. I get paid to help people's dreams come true."
And he can do that right from his hometown of Chatham.

With Expo 2020 Dubai on the horizon, and a successful push to diversify economies away from a reliance on hydrocarbon receipts, travel professionals from the Middle East are heading to WTM London in November in confident mood as they look to achieve a greater share of the multi-billion-dollar international travel market….reports Asian Lite News
WTM London being held from 6th – 8th November, the leading global event for the travel industry, witnessed more than 51,000 participants in 2016, including 9,900 buyers conducting business worth over US$3.77 billion. Organisers are predicting a record year for 2017, boosted by a strong contingent of exhibitors from the Middle East region.
According to figures from the UN's World Tourism Organisation, UK tourists continued to flock to the UAE in 2016: up 5 percent in Dubai and 3 percent in Abu Dhabi, despite the pound shedding over 16 percent of its value against the US dollar since the referendum result to leave the European Union.
There was also a definitive resurgence in Russian visitors, up 14 percent,after the UAE's implementation of visas-on-arrival.
Key exhibitors from the region this year include Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority, Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, Ajman Tourism Development Department, Ras al-Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, Oman Ministry of Tourism and Jordan Tourism Board.
Other new exhibitors from the region include Solar Empire Travel, Azar Gasht Aseman, Baghdad Hotel Company and Kurdistan Tourism.
WTM London Senior Director, Simon Press, said, "According to figures from the World Travel and Tourism Council, the total contribution of Travel and Tourism to GDP in the Middle East was US$227.1 billion (9.1 percent of GDP) in 2016, and is forecast to rise by 5.2 percent in 2017, and by 4.8 percent pa to US$381.9 billion (9.7 percent of GDP) in 2027.
"There are exciting times ahead for the Middle East, not least with the UAE set to host Expo 2020, with Dubai alone forecasting 160,000 hotel rooms in the emirate ahead of the world showcase opening.
"Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see the large number of exhibitors already signed up for WTM London. It's a reflection of the burgeoning growth in that part of the world and how the travel trade there recognises that WTM London is an important platform to both conduct business and boost awareness."
More than 80 conference seminars will take place throughout the three days covering all the key sectors pertinent to the Middle East, including aviation, hotels, wedding and honeymoon, gastronomy, sports tourism, responsible tourism, digital influencers, social media and travel technology.
Among other highlights is the 300-seater WTM Inspire Theatre, a taste of ILTM joined by a new Wellness and Spa section on the exhibition floor, the WTM Speed Networking, and the UNWTO and WTM Ministers' Summit.
Press added, "With 2017 being the UN's International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, it is fitting that this year WTM London plays host to more responsible tourism sessions than ever before, with almost 30 panels taking place across the three days.
"As well as 'Overtourism', 2017 will also look at other topics currently getting a lot of attention, such as what the industry can do to fight plastic pollution and protect its oceans, how it can fight trafficking in its supply chain, and animal welfare."
The 2017 edition of World Travel Market London's sister show, Arabian Travel Market, ATM, witnessed a 10 percent increase in visitors from the GCC and a 7 percent increase in international visitors to the event. For the second year in a row, more than 28,000 visitors attended the show, a 71 percent increase over the last five years. The 2018 edition of ATM takes place from 22nd – 25th April at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The type of firewire is important to get a straight answer, If you have firewire 800/9pin you can use a (Usb 3 to thunderbolt and then a Thunderbolt to firewire 800/9 pin) Part # A1463 AND A1790 BOTH MADE BY APPLE! Stay away form non apple made connectors they fail at every turn. My wish would be that apple would make a usb3.0 or 3.? to firewire that would make a lot of Mac people happy! Hope this helps...

If you have an iMac with Thunderbolt 3 ports, then you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect the Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter. You could also use a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 2 dock that has a FireWire port. You could also use a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion box and insert a PCIe FireWire card which may have more than one FireWire port.

Storminess getting better organized with area of low pressure over Bay of Campeche.
A clot of showers and thunderstorms over the Bay of Campeche has intensified and is showing some signs of organization, with a short-lived tropical depression expected to form overnight or Friday.
The National Hurricane Center is giving the area a 70 percent chance of formation before it merges with a cold front late Friday or Saturday.
Even if the system doesn't become Olga - the next name on the 2019 hurricane list - it will likely mean more rain for Texas, Louisiana and other areas of the Gulf Coast.
"Some outdoor plans, such as Friday night and Saturday football games, could be saturated," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Bob Smerbeck.
National Weather Service meteorologists in New Orleans said the area should prepare for steady rainfall beginning Friday night with 2 to 3 inches falling through Saturday night.

Andy Core is an expert in Work-Life Balance, Wellbeing, and Peak Human Performance.
While not all moments of stress can be dodged, there certainly are several situations that can be easily avoided by adhering to some simple rules.
At times it's best to just say no
You aren't cut out to work like a machine. You require your rest and even some time for just yourself. Moreover, you don't need to always please the people around you especially when your own emotional health is at stake. Be aware of your limits and never try exceeding them for meager, mundane reasons. May it be your professional life or your personal life, never take on extra responsibilities if they are going to compromise your peace and simply stress the life out of you.
Avoid being in the company of individuals that stress you out
If there are certain people in your life that persistently stress you out and then just stop hanging around them. But if it's not possible for you to cut off your bonds with them then simply avoid spending too much time around them.
Avoid engaging in discussion on topics that simply push your buttons
There are always certain hot-topics that can get us fired up. In order to keep your anger tamed, simply avoid engaging in discussions revolving around these niches.

The Stouffville Yankees capped off an incredible season in style.
Playing in this past weekend's major rookie 'AA' Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) championships, the Yankees were nearly perfect, winning the finals to take home the title.
Stouffville entered the tournament as the York-Simcoe Baseball Association (YSBA) champions, posting a 14-1 regular season record before winning the regional event to determine who went to OBA's.
On Friday, the Yankees defeated Scarborough 14-1 in their first game before losing a nail-biter to the Vaughan Vikings in a rematch of the YSBA finals.
That meant Stouffville had to be perfect the rest of the tournament, beginning with a trio of games that started Saturday morning.
The Yankees shut out Guelph 12-0 and then knocked off Waterloo 13-7 before an 11-1 hammering of Kitchener advanced Stouffville to the semifinals on Sunday.
After defeating Hamilton, Stouffville moved on to the finals against a very familiar opponent in Vaughan.
This time, the Yankees came out on top, as a 9-4 win earned Stouffville the provincial title. Congratulations to coach Shane Pegg and all of the players on their victory!

I just returned from another incredible week of Nilgai hunting, Had a blast a saw a ton of great bulls,unfortunately , I came up on the short end of the stick and lost my bull I still dont know what went wrong, felt I made a good shot, maybe a bit forward, , I gave it my all but just couldn't find him. day one we had 50mph winds so I really could hunt. So I went out and sat about 5 I saw a big bull about 200 yards out so I watched him and decided I would head that way in moring. The next morning I set up in the area I saw the bull, wind was still wipping but going down by the hour. about 1 hour before dark I had two young bulls come out at 42 yards as the stepped out the took off across the field in a hurry, I looked behind them and the Big bull was coming, I drew back and when he stepped out at 42 yards I stopped him and the the arrow go. Arrow hit just in front of shoulder and the bull was gone. the next morning we started the search, we found arrow about 40 yards in covered in blood with a pass threw, had blood about 150 yards and then nothing looked till we had no more options. they are one tough critter. I still had an awesome hunt and my partner did get a great bull, but in the end he felt he was not prepared for this hunt once it started and he decided to take a rifle. He saw over 100 Nilgai on his hunt. I will be back next year. the bull came out on left hand corner of this pic by the bigger pole.

We have Nilgai here in Florida but it's like a 3 day hunt on a small island with no vehicles allowed.I drew a tag once but didn't even give it a go because of the crazy logistics to get to the island and back with the meet if luck was on my side. OOPS!!! My mistake. We have Sambar here in florida

Happy Veterans Day, Election Update, and New Fire Sprinkler Article
First of all, we want to wish all of our veterans a Happy Veteran's Day. Thank you for your service, which has afforded us so many freedoms, including the right to fair and free elections.
While much of the attention has been on the national races, I want to take this opportunity to highlight the results of some important races on the local level that will have an impact on community association legislation to be considered during the 2017 Legislative Session.
Florida Senate
District 17: Debbie Mayfield, a current House member, was elected to a Senate seat. She has been a strong advocate for community associations.
District 22: Kelli Stargel, the Senate sponsor of the "estoppel bill" was re-elected to the Senate.
District 28: Kathleen Passidomo, a current House member, was elected to the Senate. She has been involved with a number of bills impacting community associations and last year sponsored a bill which would have exempted HOA covenants and restrictions from the Marketable Record Title Act (MRTA).
District 37: Current House member Jose Javier Rodriguez defeated current Senator Miguel Diaz de la Portilla. Senator Diaz de la Portilla was the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is one of the committees that regularly hears community association bills. While we will miss Senator Diaz de la Portilla, we are excited to be able to continue to work with Rep. Rodriguez.
Florida House of Representatives
District 42: Mike La Rosa was re-elected to the House. He sponsored a bill that would have imposed a number of changes on HOA operations and procedures.
District 43: John Cortes was re-elected to the House. He is a proponent of additional oversight for HOAs.
District 65: Chris Sprowls was re-elected to the House. He is a proponent of additional legislative changes to the condominium termination statute.
District 93: George Moraitis, who has sponsored a number of CALL initiatives, was re-elected to the House.
District 116: Jose Felix Diaz was re-elected to the House. He is a proponent of legislative changes for condominium associations.
New Fire Sprinkler Opt Out Article
The fire sprinkler retrofitting requirement and opt out law are still causing much confusion. Click here to read a new article by Becker & Poliakoff Shareholder Donna Berger: "To Take or Not to Take the Sprinkler Opt-Out Vote?"
Have a wonderful day and make sure to thank a veteran for their service.
