Matt Chat 246: Robert Sirotek on Wizardry 1-5
Interview - posted by Infinitron on Mon 23 June 2014, 10:45:36Tags: Matt Barton; Robert Sirotek; Sir-Tech; Wizardry II: The Knight of Diamonds; Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn; Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna; Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom; Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
Matt Barton's interview with Robert Sirotek continues in the latest episode of his show. This part of the interview is the most interesting so far, in my opinion, since it takes a broader view of the development of the series throughout the 1980s. Robert talks about the controversial decision to make character importing mandatory in Wizardry II: The Knight of Diamonds (which he eventually came to agree with), about the technical challenges of developing Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn (which was actually a typo that caught on), about the controversial decision to make Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna "the hardest RPG in the world" (which he still doesn't agree with) and about the passing of the torch from Robert Woodhead to David Bradley in Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom. He also discusses the roles of various other individuals in the development of the series, including Brenda Romero, his sister Linda Curry, and also Andrew Greenberg, towards whom he is about as charitable as you might expect.
There is one gaffe, however, when Robert describes Wizardry VI as "the first game to combine fantasy and science fiction". Uh, yeah, not by a long shot. You could have called him out on that one, Matt.

"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into."

"If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is ''the quiet acceptance of what is.''"
Acceptance Quotes Enlightenment QuotesCategory:
"Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others."
"It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either."
"Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice."
"You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you've lost them forever."
"To sit in judgment of those things which you perceive to be wrong or imperfect is to be one more person who is part of judgment, evil or imperfection."
"You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, 'I release the need for this in my life'."
"The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do."
"It's never crowded along the extra mile."

The Cabinet on Wednesday lifted the monthly cap on subsidised LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinders, but retained the overall annual limit at 12 cylinders. "LPG consumers to get 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg at subsidised rate in a year even if they don't consume one bottle a month," Telecom and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said. The government had raised the annual cap on supply of cheaper LPG from nine to 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each on January 30 and the Oil Ministry on February 28 imposed a restriction that ordinarily one cylinder be given to each beneficiary every month.
"The Cabinet today came to a conclusion that this system is causing problem to the people. Sometimes people do not need one, sometimes during festive season demand is more. So there was a feeling that if someone has not taken one cylinder on a given month, then in remaining months he won't get it," Mr Prasad said. The subsidized rate for LPG cylinders in Delhi is Rs. 414 each and beyond the annual cap of 12 cylinders consumers have to pay the market rate of Rs. 920 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
In an alleviation to buyers, the Cabinet on raised the restriction of provide of only one subsidized cooking fuel LPG cyndrical tube to a home in a month, sharing individuals may get their quota of 12 bottles at anytime of the year. While putting forward quota of subsidised 14.2-kg LPG cylinders that a family may avail in a year to 12 away from previous nine, the federal government invited February placed a restriction of one cyndrical tube each month.
Briefing press reporters regarding the choice had by the Cabinet going through Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he pointed out the regulation has been put an end to. "Today at the Kitchen cabinet meeting, considering the advantage of individuals, that issue has been put an end to. Now these muscles will acquire 12 cylinders at subsidised price," he stated. "This choice has actually been actually consumed purchase to take out the problem of people in India and also customers specifically."
This modifies the earlier decision taken on February 28 as well as gets rid of the limitation enforced that ordinarily one cylinder be offered to each beneficiary on a monthly basis.
"This decision of Federal government will minimize troubles faced by the real LPG customers as the usage of LPG cyndrical tubes is certainly never precisely one every month. This modification will certainly satisfy their genuine needs based on their annual privilege of subsidised cyndrical tubes," the declaration incorporated.

| 8.7°C Belfast
The Irish Justice Minister has told the family of missing Bangor woman Lisa Dorrian that she will help them in any way she can.
Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald joined Lisa's family at an event in Dublin's Phoenix Park to mark the Republic's National Missing Person's Day.
Lisa's father John and sisters Joanne and Michelle were at the service, which was also attended by families of the Disappeared.
Each of the families were invited to take a single rose out to a lake, where homing pigeons were released and the roses were set on the water. Joanne described the ceremony as "absolutely beautiful".
It was the fourth annual Missing Persons Day in Ireland, and the first which the Dorrians had been invited to.
Joanne told the Belfast Telegraph that they were touched by Ms Fitzgerald taking the time to speak to them personally, and said she assured the family that if the Irish Government could do anything to help, it would.
"It was very poignant and nice to be included. The master of ceremony spoke about Lisa's case," she said. "We got speaking to other families, including the family of Brendan Megraw, who was found in 2014. And even though he has been found they want to continue to be part of this and remember Brendan in that way.
"It was a very emotional service, there wasn't a dry eye in the room as families spoke about what they had been through.
"There was a guy there who has been searching for his brother for 70 years; he went missing in 1945."
Lisa (25) was last seen at a party at a caravan site in Ballyhalbert on February 28, 2005.
Despite land and sea searches, her body has never been found. Loyalists are believed to have been involved in her murder.
The PSNI launched a search earlier this year of land close to Comber, Co Down, as the result of new information.
Joanne said the police investigation remained active, adding that not a month went by when the PSNI didn't hear something about Lisa, and that all leads were examined.
It is almost a year since her mother Patricia died at the age of just 59. Joanne said she believed the trauma of losing Lisa caused her mother's early death.
The family also added their DNA to Forensic Services Ireland, which is working to identify the remains of 16 bodies recovered by the authorities.

HOCKEY: Run-scorer turns goalscorer as Gary Freear grabs double for Wisbech side
PUBLISHED: 12:14 04 October 2017
Wisbech 1sts continued a pleasing start to the East Men's League season last Saturday.
The locals were involved in a 1-1 draw at Dereham in the Premier B Division.
They hit the front through Hugo Atkins during a strong first-half display, but were pegged back soon after the break following a penalty corner from the Norfolk hosts.
Wisbech 2nds also remained unbeaten after battling out a 1-1 deadlock in their second Division Three North-West outing.
They also hit the front courtesy of a cool Dom Stannard finish in the first half at Cambridge South 2nds, but the home side piled on the pressure and levelled in the second half.
Only some terrific goalkeeping denied the Wisbech side a late winner.
The spoils were also shared in Division Five North-West as Wisbech 3rds picked up a first point of the new campaign.
After a summer of prolific run-scoring, Wisbech Cricket Club skipper Gary Freear appears to have turned his attention to a winter of goalscoring.
He found the net on two occasions in an entertaining 2-2 draw against Spalding 4ths.
A depleted Wisbech 4ths side were beaten 2-1 at City of Peterborough 8ths in Division Six North-West (North).
They fell behind late in the first half, but levelled when Ciaran Lowe tucked away a short corner in the second period.
And the 10 men of Wisbech looked set to earn a draw until being undone by a deflected late winner.
Wisbech Ladies 1sts roared to a first East Women's League success of the season last Saturday.
The Fenland side saw off Watton 3-1 in Division One North with all the goals arriving in the opening half.
Ellie Padmore broke the deadlock before Jane Peggs doubled the Wisbech advantage.
Laura Overland then struck from a short corner before the visitors grabbed a goal back.
A fine save prevented Joey Gomm from extending the advantage in the second period when Hannah Strickle also saw a super effort disallowed.
Wisbech 2nds saw a tough start to the Division Two North-West campaign continue with an 8-0 home defeat at the hands of Cambridge South 1sts.
It would have been an even heavier loss but for a series of fine saves from goalkeeper Yasmin Pritchard.

Interop Technologies™ Completes Implementation of GSMA Universal Profile 1.0 for Rich Communications Services (RCS) Cloud
02 Aug, 2017, 07:00 BST
FORT MYERS, Florida and DUBLIN, Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Interop Technologies™, a global provider of advanced communication networks and cloud-based managed services, today announced that its Rich Communications Services (RCS) Cloud fully incorporates the features outlined in the GSMA Universal Profile (UP) 1.0. As a complete end-to-end rich messaging solution, Interop's RCS Cloud is built to support native RCS devices through cloud-based servers and interconnects with operators worldwide. Interop's patented RCS technologies provide operators and communication service providers (CSPs) with a quick and efficient way to launch a standards-based rich messaging solution, without the expense or complexity associated with building their own IP network services.
RCS is the communication protocol to succeed the legacy short message service (SMS) and multimedia messaging service (MMS) messaging currently in widespread use today. Features include instant messaging, 1-to-1 and group chat, audio messaging, video share, file transfer and location sharing without downloading an app. Supporting UP 1.0, Interop's RCS solution enables peer-to-peer (P2P) communications among other RCS-enabled operators or cloud providers to provide service ubiquity for users globally.
"Since the announcement of GSMA's Universal Profile 1.0, we have seen a significant amount of interest in our RCS Cloud from operators around the globe and we are currently in the implementation stages with several of them," said Steve Zitnik, EVP and CTO of Interop Technologies. "Our companies' foundation was built upon messaging technology, so RCS was a logical next step for us when we started developing it more than eight years ago. We have continued to evolve our platform as the specifications have advanced over the years and we are happy that the mobile industry is finally united on this initiative."
Implementing the UP 1.0 specifications sets the groundwork for the launch of UP 2.0, which includes the move towards Messaging-as-a-Platform (MaaP) to assist operators and CSPs to capitalize on new revenue opportunities with A2P messaging and RCS. "A variety of services and revenue generating applications will be realized through UP 2.0 through the use of chatbots, plugins, AI and third-party applications, creating a strong business case for RCS," said Zitnik. "This is why Interop has already begun implementation plans for the UP 2.0 released last month."
In 2012, Interop was the first to introduce and demonstrate full backwards compatibility and legacy interworking on a live carrier network using the Jibe (now Google) client. In 2013, after passing several rigorous tests, GSMA designated Interop as an accredited Hosted RCS solution provider. In 2014 and 2016, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded Interop patents for its RCS technology.
Interop Technologies will be exhibiting at Stand #S.956 from September 12 -14 at the upcoming Mobile World Congress Americas in San Francisco.

text: CAPREIT BlogBrowse the topics below for more of the blog content you crave. Interior design tips for small spacesBy Trish MacPherson on 10/08/2013 in Apartment Living Comments (0)In 2012, Ikea released a catalog showcasing small, yet trendy spaces. The tagline on the cover read, "A home doesn't need to be big, just smart." This mentality, combined with simple interior design techniques and a little common sense can help eliminate the stress of organizing small rooms.1) Plan ahead What was once a normal tape measure will quickly become your best friend. Rearranging furniture becomes much more tedious in a cramped space. Painter's tape can be used on the floors to help visualize and map out larger pieces. In extreme cases make sure to plan where each piece will go, and in what order to bring the furniture into the room. For common areas make sure to account for the flow of traffic through the room. 2) What you want vs. what you need. This will inevitably come down to personal preference, but sacrifices will need to be made. For example, unless throwing dinner parties is part of your weekly ritual, you should probably opt for a two person dining table. Taking a small downsize on couch size, chair size, etc., can go a long way. While packing (and unpacking) take a look for small non-essentials that can be omitted from the new rooms. Removing trinkets, knick-knacks, and "clutter" items can instantly make a room feel less cramped. Remember, less is more. Simplicity is the key to success. 3) Think vertically Starting from the bottom, take a look at any pieces of furniture that allow for storage underneath. The classic use of milk cartons under a dorm room bed still rings true. Raising a bed slightly can allow for a nice stylish drawer underneath. Choosing a taller cabinet that rides high up the wall will create the illusion of a bigger room. Extra wall space can be both decorative and functional with the use of floating shelves. They can be found to suit any style and can combine nicely with art pieces or mirrors to give a room new life. 4) Embrace trade secrets Applying some basic interior design techniques can make a huge difference in a small space. Here are a few quick points that will expand the look of small spaces.- Use light colours- Avoid the use of tight patterns - Use big windows and allow for as much light as possible - Mirrors can help move light around the room. Whether you are styling for a single room, or a whole apartment, applying these tips will allow you to feel comfortable in any room no matter what the size. Reinventing a room can breathe new life into a small space and I encourage everyone to share their own experience, stories, and interior design tips. All the best, and happy decorating!

Once a nowhere land, Collins Court has been transformed into a groovy inner-city alley. There's new seating and funky street art. Barely somewhere you'd notice, it's now an invitation to explore and dwell.
On Dining out in Hobart's Stuart Beard's tip for newest, best, secret location, The Two Girls ventured for Saturday's brunch at Dandy Lane. We don't think it will be a secret for long.
Well dressed or excellent, how ever you define 'dandy', Dandy Lane is likely to meet your expectations.
We wandered around in awe of the revitalised Collins Court – it just gets better and better – and then ventured into the minimalist cafe.
And by minimalist I mean, filament lights and un-pictured frames (as opposed to unframed pictures – it's a thing apparently). It makes the space clean and light with all the attention on the food.
Dandy Lane has one coolio menu. You know the type where you feel pretty awesome that after 10 minutes of hunger pain you've narrowed it down to three things?
We chose:
- Zucchini, mint and fetta fritters with spicy labne, pickled cucumber and poached eggs, $15 and
- Cornbread with poached eggs, avocado salsa and chipotle mayo, $17.
Tip: labne/labna/labneh is yoghurt and salt, drained over a few days to create a soft cheese. It can be sweetened with honey and cinnamon and used for breakfast or dessert, or flavoured with savoury additions like chilli, garlic, rosemary etc.
I REALLY wanted – foot stomping wanted – to fit the passionfruit bread in too, but alas it wasn't to be. So we took home a hazelnut brownie each for later.
The verdict…drum roll…unarguable an awesome breakfast.
Highlights included: crispy fried and decadent cornbread; chipotle mayo adding a damn decent heat to the dish; perfect eggies; the spice of the yoghurt cheese accompanied by the sweet tang of the pickle; good coffee; the sweetest, most personable, table attendant in town at the moment; and a brownie with a glossy cracking top – The Other Girl's favourite.
Slightly dampened enthusiasm goes to marginally undercooked centre of the fritters; substantial meals precluding any option of even sharing the passionfruit bread; and the weird tickling feeling at the back of my throat I sometimes get when I eat deliciousness like my breakfast. It makes me talk like Daffy Duck.
In all seriousness, an excellent brunch or lunch option in Hobart's CBD.
Find Dandy Lane in Collins Court laneway across from JbHiFi. That's between Murray and Elizabeth Streets.
Find them on Facebook – Dandy Lane.

Florence Copper is an in-situ copper recovery project located in Florence, Ariz. It is not a typical mining operation. There is no blasting or excavation equipment, no open pits or large haul trucks, no smelters, and very little land disturbance. The project currently operates a short-term Production Test Facility (PTF) and is applying for commercial operation permits from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ISCR is a non-invasive mining method that uses solutions to dissolve and extract copper from deep in the ground without environmental disturbance. A weak acidic solution (99.5% water and 0.5% sulfuric acid) similar in pH to household vinegar (between 2-3 pH) is released into a soluble copper oxide deposit 400' to 1,200' below ground. The solution dissolves the copper oxide and the resulting copper-rich solution is pumped to the surface where it is manufactured into 99.9% pure copper sheets. ISCR is an environmentally sound process that has been proven successful around the globe for decades in other types of mining activities. Specifically in Florence, ISCR was performed by BHP in the late 90's and is currently proving itself at the PTF.
There will be no impact on local water quality or quantity. ISCR uses significantly less water than what would be used by most types of farming or residential housing on the same area of land. The water used in the process comes from a layer of water deep underground and reused in the ISCR process over and over again for water efficiency. The in-situ process uses a mixture of 99.5% water and 0.5% acid that slowly dissolves copper in the bedrock. At the same time the water-based solution is being introduced into the copper ore body, it is also being withdrawn through the ore body and transported up to the surface. More solution is pumped out than is pumped in creating a cone of depression in the aquifer, which prevents migration of any mining solution. After the copper extraction is complete, the ore body is flushed with water so none of the solution is left behind. Multiple monitoring wells placed just outside of the project area ensure that the water quality outside the ore body is not impacted.
Florence Copper creates up to 99.999% pure copper cathode (copper sheets) using a technology called Solvent Extraction/Electrowinning (SX/EW). A chemical process first removes the dissolved copper from the solution and then electricity is used to plate the copper into cathodes.
The economic and social benefits from the project are significant. A study authored by ASU's W.P. Carey School of Business concluded that Florence Copper would create on average 796 jobs in Arizona and generate $3.4 billion in economic activity for the state over its estimated 30-year lifetime. State government will collect approximately $468 million in taxes and royalties. The Town of Florence and Pinal County collectively will receive approximately $102 million in local and county tax revenues. Residents can expect about 480 of the total jobs to be located in Pinal County with 240 workers employed at the site in Florence during commercial operations. Currently, there are approximately 40 employees on-site operating the PTF.
Florence Copper will hire for all skill levels with most jobs being considered head of household wages. This includes but is not limited to: Electricians, Administrators, Accountants, Welders, Laborers, Operators, Shift Supervisors, Engineers, Technicians, and Mechanics. Some positions require specific education and experience, but others do not. The company anticipates creating a training program for SX/EW Operators who may not have prior experience. Florence Copper is committed to its Local Hire policy, which means that applicants living closest to the project will be given preference. Interested workers should apply online once a job has posted to be considered – www.florencecopper.com/careers
There will be no negative impact to air quality. Florence Copper has a minor source air quality permit issued by Pinal County Air Quality Control. There are over a dozen SX/EW facilities in Arizona and none of them – including Florence Copper's – have had any violations of air quality standards. Florence Copper crew members have decades of experience operating SX/EW facilities, and the company takes additional steps to ensure compliance with air quality standards within the plant beyond what is required by law.
Sulfuric acid is commonly used in the agricultural and mining industries and routinely transported throughout the state. Specially designed trucks licensed by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) transport the acid to Florence Copper's property. Florence Copper has processes in place that ensure additional protections: 1) acid is locally sourced; 2) the off-loading area on site has a purpose-built cement pad covered with an acid-resistant coating; 3) steel storage tanks are equipped with secondary containment features; and 4) crew members undergo extensive HAZMAT training. ADOT's Hazardous Materials Response Team and ADEQ's Emergency Response Team respond to off-site incidents. Acid haulers currently work all over the State of Arizona, and they are independently insured and properly trained for any accidents, if they were to occur.
Florence Copper has a regulatory and financial obligation to ensure and maintain compliance with environmental standards and to remediate any permit exceedances should an accident or mishap result in damage or in the event that the company ceased to exist. Currently, Florence Copper has four separate financial assurance bonds totaling $4.5 million, which is expected to increase to over $40 million during commercial operations. ADEQ and EPA require mineral extraction operations like Florence Copper to demonstrate financial capability as a pre-condition to operating.
For reasons not fully understood, the Town Council has legally challenged Florence Copper's permits and its right to mine. Those challenges have failed, the permits have been upheld by both administrative and judicial courts, and the company's right to mine has been unequivocally confirmed. At present, the Town is appealing Florence Copper's Temporary Aquifer Protection Permit as issued by ADEQ for the PTF and has taken steps to appeal the ruling that upheld the project's zoning rights.To date, the Town has spent over $2 million in taxpayer dollars and has been ordered to pay an additional $1.7 million to Florence Copper for legal damages.
Florence Copper has submitted an Aquifer Protection Permit amendment application to ADEQ and an Underground Injection Control permit amendment application to EPA. Both are key permits required for commercial operations and will undergo extensive public comment processes in the near future.

For most people visiting the Middle East, there are usually sets of staple sites – and world wonders – on their bucket lists. There's the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Ancient City of Petra in Jordan, and Lebanon's Jeita Grotto Caves, for example. But while those sites are stunning and should be seen in their own right, visiting them on organised tours doesn't speak of the way the natives actually live now, or what their cultures are like. And just as 'food is the window to the soul,' it also serves as a window into culture, and Arabs in particular treat food as an essential aspect in theirs – it is at once a ritual of hospitality, a sign of connections and bonds between people, and a communal event.
For people who want to explore a new culture, food might arguably be one of the best ways to do so – to visit local people's homes in different districts of a city, and discover the myriad ways people use their spices and ingredients to create the same dish – be it mansaf, molokheya, or knafeh – is to truly understand the diversity of Arab countries. We've gathered 7 of the best food tours in countries across the Middle East, from Lebanon to Palestine, that shed light on the hidden gems of Arab cuisine – and, by extension, Arab cultures.
Beirut Food Walks | Lebanon

Beirut Food Walks allows tourists to get lost in cheese pulls of kenafah and spices of minced meat in the Safiha Baalbaki, while roaming the old cobble streets in the Lebanese capital. The tour includes five restaurants and 15 dishes, and can be reserved through Mabsoot App.
For more information, check out their Facebook.
Hantourism | Palestine
Aside from visiting Palestine's ancient stones and holy sites, travelers can have a different experience from within the hearts of locals' houses. Hantourism, a local Palestinian tourism initiative, offers several culinary tours – in Bethlehem, Nablus, and Jericho – that do not merely involve eating, but actually learning how to make staple Palestinian dishes from locals' homes. Another tour allows them to learn about authentic food production in the country, from how ingredients are harvested at farms in Jericho, to how they become re-imagined in the kitchen into distinctive flavours and creative recipes.

Amman Street Food Tour | Jordan
The six hours offered by Booking Jordan's Amman Street Food Tour provide travelers with the perfect amount of Jordanian food history and gastronomy – all from the heart of Amman. The Jordanian-Palestinian mansaf is a must-try on this tour.
For more information, check out their website.
Bellies En-Route | Egypt
Cairo's first and only food tour company, Bellies En Route, garnered global acclaim – from The Guardian, The Independent, and BBC Travel Show – for their rituals of hospitality and eco-friendliness, and expert knowledge of the nooks and crannies of the city. Touring Downtown and Heliopolis to find the best koshary, taameya, molokheya, and much more, their team also delves into the history of Egyptian cuisine as it travelled across the city for centuries.
For more information, check out their website.
Marrakech Food Tours | Morocco
Moroccan cuisine may be known for its couscous and tagines, but there's much more to it than that. Marrakech Food Tours offers travelers the chance to navigate the bustling souks of the city and stop at food stalls to try an array of Moroccan street foods, which range from sweet treats like the doughnut-like sfenj, to the famous harira soup, which includes chickpea, tomato and lentils.
For more information, check out their website.
Omani Cuisine Tour | Oman
Offering a full eight-hour adventure around Muscat, this culinary tour takes travelers to some of the most unique restaurants in the city, one of which is designed after Oman's mud houses. The tour also makes sure to stop in Muttrah's fish market, where the freshest seafood – known to be one of the staples of Omani cuisine – is available.
For more information check out their website.
Frying Pan Adventures | UAE
As the first food tour company in the Arabian Gulf, Frying Pan Adventures, takes tourists away from the dazzling skyscrapers of Dubai and into the underbelly of the city, where hidden, flavourful food gems of Emirati cuisine can be found.

text: Hear the Demon roar, watch it flyby Patrick Rall on June 2, 2017 at 8:01 am EDT Yesterday afternoon, FCA invited a small group of media to the M1 Concourse for a "deep dive" into the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis and SRT Powertrain lead engineer Chris Cowland walked us through the features of the Demon which make it unique from the Hellcat Challenger, and explained how they managed to keep all of the vital information on the Demon a secret during development. We will talk about the in-depth details of the Demon drivetrain and how Dodge kept the beast a secret (even from most people within the company), but first, here is a look at Tim Kuniskis making a quick, hard pull in the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. When we arrived at the M1 Concourse, the bright red 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was parked in one of the private garages, surrounded by components of the drag-ready beast. Dodge didn't always plan on running the Demon for the small group of journalists on hand, but after the program had come to its planned conclusion, we all got to talking about the videos of the Demon floating around the internet. In many of those videos, the car doesn't sound all that great; and Tim Kuniskis was talking to people from his team about how they needed to get a better example of the Demon sound online. It was suggested that the Dodge team make a better video right there, with plenty of cameras on hand. The Dodge people checked with the M1 Concourse people and they got the greenlight to make a couple quick, hard pulls on the straightaway of the road course with the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon. Unfortunately, a low resolution version of this video arrived on Facebook sometime last night without any details, leading some people to believe that this was an attempt at a quarter mile run with poor results – but that isn't the case at all. This wasn't about Tim Kuniskis putting on a quarter mile exhibition, so this clip doesn't come with any times for the run. He rolled the car slowly out of the corner and hammered the throttle, so there is no use of the TransBrake or the Torque Reserve system. The goals were for us all to hear the supercharger whine and the Hemi's exhaust system roar — both of which were accomplished in this hard blast. He likely wasn't into it all of the way, but on the low end, Kuniskis hit the throttle hard enough to spin the rear tires. As a result, we don't see the Demon in 9-second quarter mile form, especially running uphill, but we do get to hear the Demon scream from the supercharger and the exhaust, so make sure that you have your speakers turned up when viewing the video. The sound really is the best part of the video. Stay tuned to Allpar for more Demon information later today – including the in-depth powertrain information and the details on how the Dodge team protected the Demon secret – but for now, enjoy this quick clip of Tim Kuniskis letting the Demon stretch its legs.

Gay advance led to death: court
A HOMOSEXUAL advance led to the bashing death of hitch-hiker Stephen John Ward, a jury heard yesterday in the Supreme Court at Maryborough.
The trial of John Patrick Petersen and Seamus Matthew Smith started yesterday, after both men were allegedly involved in the murder of the 62-year-old.
Mr Ward's badly-decomposed body was found by trail-bike rider Darren Cruse, on Deveron Rd in the Bauple State Forest in September 2008.
The itinerant man was last seen leaving Curra's Matilda Service Station on August 4, 2008, about 8pm.
Witness Ashley Petty, who worked at the service station's food counter, told the court she spoke to Mr Ward as he was getting into a four-wheel drive that had stopped to pick him up on the Bruce Highway.
"There were two men in the car," she said.
Peterson pleaded not guilty to murder, but accepted the lesser charge of manslaughter.
His alleged accomplice, Smith, denied being an accessory to murder but also conceded a lesser charge of accessory to manslaughter.
In his opening statements, Prosecutor Ben Power said after the body was found, police went to Smith's home and he admitted he was the one seen picking up Mr Ward that night.
Before being led to the police station to give a statement, Smith allegedly told his wife to get in touch with Peterson and tell him he had been taken by police.
Peterson handed himself in to a Cairns police station the next day, after discovering his friend had been questioned.
But the men's stories unravelled when Smith admitted to being in the car when Peterson allegedly hit Mr Ward, while Peterson told Cairns police he was alone.
The prosecutor told the court Peterson was angry after Mr Ward made a homosexual pass at him, and admitted to hitting the victim between 20 and 30 times.
The court heard Peterson and Smith admitted to leaving the scene and returning later to move Mr Ward, although they did not agree on whether they believed the blood-covered man was alive when they dumped him in the forest.
Peterson's defence barrister James Godbolt said his client was intoxicated and provoked by the gay come-on, because he had been abused as a teen.
Smith's defence said her client's case rested on Peterson's manslaughter plea.
"He knew his best friend was in trouble and he knew he needed to help him," she said.
The trial continues today.

Abstract and Keywords
Power is a crucial concept for international relations scholars. Of particular importance for those interested in understanding foreign policy is knowing how power manifests as national capabilities. Understanding the relationship between power and capabilities allows for comparison and contrast of the various foreign policy tools leaders have at their disposal as they attempt to achieve their goals. Despite the importance of power, scholars still debate the best means for conceptualizing and operationalizing the concept. The all-encompassing nature of power makes it difficult to focus on a single characteristic. This article focuses on three main aspects of power: military, economic, and soft power. Each section gives an overview into the current state of research into the various aspects of power. The discussion on military power emphasizes operationalizing military might and issues with innovation. The section on economics focuses on economics as a source of power and a tool for coercion. Finally, the last section focuses on noncoercive aspects of power, better known as soft power. The article ends with some suggestions for future research.
Keywords: power, measuring military power, political capacity, financing war, sanctions, soft power

By his own concession, Lee Wallace is not at his best:
"When you are a player and you are searching for your best form – and I put myself in that category, as will some other guys in the dressing room – it's all down to how you prepare. It means you have to come in here every single day and work that little bit harder, eat that little bit better, study that bit more in-depth and really look to get that form back."
His attitude to regaining that form is faultless, but without a shadow of a doubt the outstanding left back of the past four years for Rangers who captained his side to the Championship title last season has been some way off producing what we know he can.
No one would question the man's loyalty – he gave up the national team and far better leagues than the Scottish Third Division in 2012 to stick with Rangers, and he has never complained about any of it. Indeed, he admits he probably sacrificed his country for his club, and he would do it again:
"I was asked before if I thought international football would be sacrificed due to my decision to stay at Rangers. And I said that if that is the case then it's a fair sacrifice for me. I can look myself in the mirror and happily agree with that. There hasn't been a moment's regret from the minute I chose to stay here, it was all part of a plan and that's going in the right direction. If the other side of the football isn't going to come back into my career because I've stayed here, then I accept that. I've not been involved in the Scotland squads for the whole campaign that just passed, so I wasn't expecting to be in it. So there's no point in me talking about a squad I haven't been in for a long time."
But his form, currently, really is wayward. The last thing I want this piece to sound like is a negative attack on Wallace – I admire his courage, his guts, and everything he has given to Rangers over the past near-half decade. And his form over the past while has been one of the highlights of the Journey.
But Rangers need performers on the pitch, and right now, by his own admission, he is not doing that. Mark Warburton, on form currently, has a better option in a current Northern Ireland international sitting on the bench, just wasting away, and in the past few fixtures there has been a subtle hint and shift to Andy Halliday picking up the captaincy for now.
There is nothing wrong in Wallace taking a little rest. Playing a few less matches and working hard in training to get that form back. Rangers are fortunate to have a few decent full backs, and unless injury dictates otherwise, it would be arguably to Wallace's benefit to take a few matches out, get the form back, get the hunger back, and return to the fold stronger and more equipped.
He has struggled this season, and he is one of the players who especially does not deserve that. Good management from Warburton would be a subtle rest for Wallace, deploy Hodson in his place for a match or two, and see how it goes.
We all want Wallace at his best – and the sooner he is there, the better.

Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma have shared screen space once in their careers so far in 'Badmaash Company' (2010). However, they may be seen together again if Kapoor gets his way.
News has it that Kapoor has recommended Sharma for Vishal Bhardwaj's next which is based on William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. Kapoor has already been signed as lead for the project.
In 'Badmaash Company', the duo were unconventional looking in appearance as a couple but seemed to work well. In Bhardwaj's next, this will put them in a different genre setting so remains to be seen if they, once again, are magic on-screen.

MAD-EYE: great horned owl
Mad-Eye is a great horned owl. She was brought to the California Raptor Center in 2014 after being found on the side of a road in an agricultural area near Davis. The nature of her injuries strongly suggests she was hit by a car, an unfortunately common cause of injury and mortality in wild raptors, particularly owls that swoop low across roadways at night as they hunt.
Examination revealed fractures in the bones of this owl's left shoulder girdle. The accident also caused lasting eye damage, leaving this bird with detached retinas, retinal scarring, and cataracts in both eyes. Though a one-eyed owl may be able to survive in the wild by using its excellent hearing to compensate for decreased vision, an owl with poor vision in both eyes would stand a low chance of survival and therefore is non-releasable.
As a consequence of this bird's eye injuries, her left pupil always appears larger than her right pupil. This permanent pupil asymmetry immediately reminded volunteers of the character "Mad-Eye Moody" from the Harry Potter series, and though we now suspect Mad-Eye is female, the nickname stuck.

Two-year-old girl kidnapped, raped in Delhi
The girl was allegedly kidnapped by the accused on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday while she was sleeping with her mother on a footpath in north Delhi's Kotwali area
New Delhi: A two-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped and raped by a man, who then left her near the tracks of Old Delhi Railway Station, police said on Sunday. The accused, a 24-year-old drug addict, identified as Anil, was arrested on Sunday morning, they said.
The girl was allegedly kidnapped by the accused on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday while she was sleeping with her mother on a footpath in north Delhi's Kotwali area, a senior police officer. Around 2.30 am on Saturday the woman found her daughter missing and started looking for her. As the search did not bear fruit, the woman approached police around 10 am on Saturday following which a kidnapping case was registered, he said.
Around afternoon, the police learnt a baby girl had been admitted to a hospital in central Delhi and subsequently, she was identified as the one who was kidnapped from Kotwali, the official said. It was revealed that she had been sexually assaulted and the accused dumped her near the railway tracks from where she was rescued by a team of police personnel, he said, adding the girl underwent surgery and is now better.
The police identified the accused by scanning CCTV footage. Following this, a trap was laid at various temples and gurdwara where street dwellers usually come for food and subsequently the accused was nabbed, the officer said. The accused used to collect garbage for a living and also worked as a waiter during wedding season. Three months ago, he was arrested in connection with a theft case in Haridwar, the officer added.

Whatever the answer, I did, would do it again, and do not see anything wrong with it. I have to warn you though: unless you are comfortable with the following two mirror image statements of the sentiment that underlies this, the rest of my argument will not make much sense to you.
- There's nothing wrong with DNFing
- There is more to life than persistence and grit
Runners hold strong opinions about these things. As our species is strongly subject to confirmation bias, if you're a no-pain-no-gain believer, my arguments are not going to change your mind. Even more probable: I am only going to convince you of my ultimate whimpishness – which would not be an invalid conclusion – and give you ammunition to believe ever more strongly in your own views.
Anyways, the attitude that I want to defend here is that persistence and grit are honourable qualities but elevated to absolute goals in let alone of life they turn into a very dumb way to die.
By way of intro, let's first define my understanding of unprepared. I didn't do much running the last couple of months in Nepal. Then I moved to Cairo after a stop over of a month in The Netherlands (no running at all) and Cairo didn't prove to be a very running friendly environment. After a spring of hardly any running, I did a 55k circuit in the Angkor Heritage park in Siem Riep in Cambodia in June, so longer distances were still in my legs, as well as a half marathon in The Netherlands in what I thought was a very decent time, so I hadn't lost all speed either. I ran both in my five fingers. After the holidays I started running again in Cairo from late August onwards and logged 618 kilometers in the 13 weeks until 16 November; an average of 47.5k/week, not very impressive, but with a steep curve of increasing weekly k's because I did 260 in the last 3.5 weeks (a weekly average of 74 and a bit). All not according to the books (slow build up, consistency etc. etc.) but as I don't really look at it as training in the first place, as long as injuries don't come into the picture I am not bothered. However that may be, I don't think the above counts as proper preparation for a 100k. Although it is not ridiculous either, just way too short. To give but one example: Norrie Williamson, author of one of the classic ultra distance guide books, published a 100k training schedule for a newbie to the distance, aiming to finish within 13 hours. His 28 weeks (excluding the last tapering week) average 52k, not too far off my average during my 13 weeks, and his last 11 weeks averaged 61k/week, below my average but that is because of including an easy-going 36k week every month. Anyways, my preparation wasn't proper but enough for me to be happy about.
In case you wonder: I participated in the so-called Pharaonic race. And I dropped out at 80k. I'm not going to describe my personal experience, for those interested some of it can be found on my everytrail site. Here I want to focus on the quitting. Could I have gone the full distance? Yes, I think I could. The day after I feel fine, nothing much hurts, my feet are ok, one toe would have been somewhat messy had I continued for another 20k, but nothing dramatic. I felt vaguely nauseous at the time, but slowing down would have taken care of that. My monkey mind started giving in to the possibility of quitting around k 73-74, but I feel I could have resisted. But would that have made me a better runner, a better person? I've quit before in a 100k race that I was equally unprepared for ( at 50k that time), but I've also finished one, although that wasn't a race but a journey with a friend.
For me, the heart of the matter is that I didn't feel like finishing….this time, and, also in hindsight I see nothing wrong with that. Yes, it certainly felt easier to quit than not, and yes, I had doubts, persist or not persist, wasn't it too easy to just quit? Who knows, I might indeed have quit too easily, but what I am not prepared to doubt is the wisdom of going easy on persistence. Thus, a recent announcement of a five-part series on inrunfar.com by educator and elite ultra(trail)runner Andy Jones-Wilkins of what this authoritative voice sees as five skills that are essential to success in ultramarathon running bothers me:
- Persistence
- Resilience
- Patience
- Courage
- Grit
It bothers me because he might very well be right. To perform well in races that is. But there is much more to running than races (and there is more to life than running – see below). Is this really the skills set you need to be a successful runner? Mr. Jones-Wilkins seems to think it is. He, and with him many others apparently, even think this is what kids need to be a constructive, functioning member of 21st-century society. So called meta-cognitive skills that US universities and employers seek in their students and workers. Without wanting to down talk the importance of the qualities on this little list, I would argue for extending the list a bit: what about imagination and creativity, what about humility, what about compassion, what about scepticism, what about open-mindedness, and I could go on for a while…mmm, employers might not like some of that? Well, have a go at Foucault and you'll understand why they prioritize this limited list, but why accept such a dystopian vision for what makes for a good citizen?
Sorry, got carried away a bit there, back to running. I think Anna Frost is spot on: it's just running, if it defines who you are you're crossing a dangerous line.
She just completed two multi-stage runs in Nepal, the Everest Sky race organized by the chevaliers du vent and the Manaslu trail race organized by my friend Richard Bull whom I finished that one and only 100k with. I really hope they returned this great runner to her feet, by getting her out of her head.
Fair chance you don't believe any of this rambling and consider me a spineless twat. You're quite correct. However, having a spine is not all that counts in life. There is so much more to it. Although hanging in there is sometimes a good strategy, at other times going with the flow is the way to go. How otherwise could Mr. Hendrix have arrived at this most accurate version of the US national anthem ever played?

I'll be honest, I was kind of wondering when someone from Meghan Markle's family would try to make the birth of baby Archie all about them, and it seems like Thomas Markle Jr. has decided he'll be the one to do it. Meghan's half-brother spoke with Access this past week, and said that he hopes the newborn baby will be able to repair the family's tension.
"Anytime there's an addition to the family, it's a big thing," Thomas, 52, told Access."Hopefully in this case it will actually bring our family back together a little bit and tighten our little ongoing rift. … Meghan only has one family where she came from. She's got two now, but we are her family and I'd like to bring a little awareness to that."
"I would just hate to go through life and know that I had a hole in their family somewhere that I never met," Thomas said. "So whatever we can do to avoid that situation would be good."
"My dad's been waiting for this for a long time. He's very happy and he's so looking forward to Meghan reaching out to him and bringing them together. My father wants to see his grandson more than anything."
As for Thomas Markle Sr., Meghan's dad, he's been less vocal about the birth of Archie, besides from a sweet statement about his new grandson.
"I'm delighted to hear that mother and child are doing well," he said in a statement at the time. "I am proud that my new grandson is born into the British royal family and I am sure that he will grow up to serve the crown and the people of Britain with grace, dignity, and honor. God bless the child and I wish him health and happiness, and my congratulations to my lovely daughter Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, and God save the Queen."
When the news of Meghan's pregnancy broke, Thomas Sr. said he heard about it over the radio.
"I was sitting in line waiting to cross the border [between the U.S. and Mexico] when I heard the baby announcement on the radio," Thomas said. "I thought, 'My baby is having a baby.' It was a very proud moment. I was filled with love, joy and happiness for both my beautiful daughter and my son-in-law. A new baby is a blessing and I look forward to seeing a little Meghan or a little Harry."
"Meghan loves children and she and Harry have been talking about wanting a family from the start. I'm delighted for them both. She's always been wonderful with children and most of her friends have families so she's used to being around kids. She will make a fantastic mother."
Meghan's half-sister, Samantha, has been pleading with the Duchess to allow Archie and Thomas to have a relationship, saying the baby boy is missing out.
"It's sad," Samantha said. "He should have been involved. Being excluded is like a dagger through his heart. Poor Master Archie is not getting to know a creative, loving person. He is a doting granddad and he's been great with all his other grandkids. He buys toys, plays creative games, he's funny and nurturing and communicative with them."
Samantha said that now, it's up to Meghan to heal the family…even though it's Samantha and her siblings that have been verbally attacking the Duchess since her relationship with Prince Harry went public.
"We always have been desperate to heal the rift, but it's up to Meghan to reach out now," Samantha said. "Life is short and precious so I hope having the baby will soften her feelings and she will do the right thing. [Archie] needs to get a wider sense of family – because he isn't just a Mountbatten-Windsor child, he's a Markle too. There'a a connection and we exist."
To me, and I'm sure to the royal family, this is all just noise. If these people really wanted a relationship with Meghan, the would have made that effort before she became part of the royal family, and they certainly wouldn't have cashed in on interviews to bash their sister over and over again.

The Peacemaker ain't some sheepherding fan boy pro-model. This true twin six-shooter was created using ride and design input from super-shred Dylan Alito. World famous tattoo artist Bryan Henry hand painted the graphic. A soft mid-section flex gets you locked in on rails and pressing a mile high. The nose and tail we made significantly stiffer for huge launches and incredibly stable landings. The extended contact points will have you hanging low and digging trenches. We added a Blower Stance for when the old dusty trail is covered in POW. The Peacemaker makes certain that you're always bringing the right board to the shootout. #NotAProModel

The House Appropriations Committee has voted in favor of a bill imposing a business and occupation (B&O) surcharge on various businesses with the money going to a new state account to fund various new higher education programs.
At the April 22 public hearing for HB 2158 sponsored by Rep. Drew Hansen (D-23) and 20 Democrat cosponsors, business groups said although they favor greater support for the career and education portion of the bill, the B&O surcharge would harm the state's business climate.
"This tax would continue to disproportionately assess taxes on those least able to afford it – small businesses and working families," National Federation of Independent Business's Washington state Director Patrick Connor told committee members.
HB 2158 would impose a 20 percent B&O surcharge on income from service activities, along with a 33.33 percent B&O surcharge on service and computing businesses that generate between $25-100 billion in annual revenue. The bill sets up a Workforce Education Investment Account and creates the Washington College Grant Program, the Washington Student Loan Program and the Workforce Education Investment Accountability and Oversight Board.
Testifying in support of the bill was Green River College President Suzanne Johnson, who told lawmakers that despite the state's economic growth, Washington students aren't properly connected to the related fields. "We are in a paradox. We have some of the greatest opportunities, but we seem to be failing in producing eligible Washingtonians to take advantage of those opportunities. With your investment, we can keep excellent faculty in our classrooms to deliver the skills and knowledge that our schools need to start their careers and pursue further education at university levels."
Also supportive was David Zeeck, a member of the UW Board or Regents and former publisher of several regional newspapers including The News Tribune and Bellingham Herald. He told the committee that "as a business person, I know that a skilled workforce is the key to whether or not we succeed. We're underserving a bunch of businesses in this state. This is the way to catch up."
Although expressing reservations about the surcharges, Jerry Vanderwood with the Associated General Contractors said that they support the education and career portions of the bill.
"Career Connect would provide students and young adults a pathway to career success and introduce them to different career opportunities starting at a younger age…so that our youth will know what career opportunities are available to them and what they need to do to get started on their career path."
However, Connor warned the committee that many of the businesses that would be subject to the new surcharge did not benefit from a recent federal tax reform bill. On top of that "you would see medical costs increase. The tax is applied to small medical practices, but not hospitals, driving up medical costs where health insurance and health care costs are already too high for too many working families and small businesses unable to offer insurance to their employees."
Similar caution was offered by Lisa Thatcher with the Washington Society of Certified Public Accountants. "If HB 2158 passes, it will further contribute to the regressive and selective form of taxation on selective industries." She added that the proposal "does not provide any funding that benefits our profession. I would say the benefits that flow from a stronger higher education system flow to a broad-based state economy" and therefore the tax "should also be broad-based and not just targeted on our professional services."
No further action is scheduled for HB 2158.

An estate freeze trust is an estate planning tool that is designed to help people avoid paying large amounts of taxes whenever they transfer assets to their beneficiaries. The special trust is a vehicle that can be used in order to transfer ownership of assets to a beneficiary, without having to pay estate taxes or gift taxes on the transfer. By transferring your assets into this type of trust, you will be able to remove the assets from your possession and convey that possession over to your beneficiaries. There are a number of different techniques that you can use in order to facilitate the estate freeze trust. Here are the basics of what an estate freeze trust is and how to set one up.
Family Limited Partnership
One of the most popular techniques are using family limited partnerships. With this type of partnership, you are going to set up a partnership where you are the general partner. You will then make your beneficiaries limited partners in the partnership. You will be able to include any assets that you want into this partnership. For example, if you were a business owner, you could put the rights to the business into this partnership. If you owned a large amount of stock that you wanted to pass on, you can also use this method.
Then, whenever you have the assets into the partnership, you can change the ownership percentage of the assets. You could reduce your ownership of the assets to as little as one percent. You could then increase the ownership of the limited partners to as much as 99 percent. This would give your beneficiaries practically full ownership of the assets and would significantly decrease the amount of estate taxes that would be applicable.
Preferred Stock
Another popular estate freeze method involves using preferred stock. If you own a large amount of common stock, you could potentially pass it on to your heirs without paying any capital gains taxes, or estate taxes. In order to do this, you will exchange your common stock for shares of preferred stock. You will do this directly with the company that issues the stock. Since you are trading two different stocks that equal the same thing, you will not have to worry about capital gains taxes on the transaction. The company can then issue shares of common stock to your beneficiaries. They will be able to benefit from the growth in the company and your shares of preferred stock will remain at a constant value.
Legal Help
In order to set up the estate freeze trust, you should contact an estate planning attorney. They will be able to navigate you through the process of drafting the appropriate documents to set up the trust and help you get it done. An attorney can help you avoid problems with the trust and they can be sure the document will hold up in court.
