Just a quick update, I have been overly busy with work that I haven't gotten far with this install. But since my last post, I put in a improvement bug report for a subarch for Silvermont CPUs, and drobbins has been great enough to create a subarch for the CPU used in the Yoga 2 11S! Which means now when I get back to it in the next week or so, it will be an optimized build for the Yoga 2 11S now!
Any advantage using 'hardened' for the desktop user?
swamprabbit replied to jwjones's topic in General DiscussionI agree, a general security page is definitely the way to start. To take what you proposed already I think narrowing it down with sub-categories help keeps in organized and modular. By sub-categories, I mean start with basic domains of security, then have individual methodologies and applications under each. For example selinux and apparmor are both forms of Access Controls, technical ones, not to be confused with Physical Access Controls. There are a lot of websites and books to look at for a reference of how this can be organized.

Hello san2ban, welcome back. Are you looking for more than what is under this? http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Installation#Prepare_Hard_Disk It seems to all still be there, but looks like the layout was adjusted a bit. There is also this, looks like it was done in January this year. http://www.funtoo.org/UEFI_Install_Guide

Minimizing compile time
swamprabbit replied to hick518's topic in General DiscussionI can offer a few beginner suggestions. You can reduce compiling time by not compiling larger packages and use the pre-compiled binaries for the web browser and LibreOffice. This link should help with the web browser offerings. http://www.funtoo.org/Web_Browsers USE flags really depends on a lot of things, but since you want to use LXDE, you can "opt out" from the other major ones that bring in a lot of fluff. /etc/portage/make.conf USE="-gnome -kde" VIDEO_CARDS="specific for your system (i.e. radeon)" http://www.funtoo.org/Make.conf That was where I started, later I learned from looking at what emerge said would get pulled in, and asking on IRC. You can pretend to do the emerge (install) and that really helps to see what will get pulled in or changed. I am sure others will chime in with specifics, like compiling on a different machine, etc.
Pre-built kernels!
swamprabbit replied to drobbins's topic in News and Announcements@drobbins Thank you and the team for working on all these exciting changes, I think it is great! I do have questions about at which step of the install process a user should "unmerge, remove kernel and initramfs" if they want to build their own kernel? I assume a user should do this right after chrooting into new system for the first time because the kernel included in the stage3 is part of the world set correct? I am asking because of the advice given in this thread http://forums.funtoo.org/topic/477-prevent-debian-sources-from-merged/?do=findComment&comment=2632 I use either gentoo-sources or hardened-sources and just want to make sure I understand any new changes to my process that I need to make during an new install.
pantau, Thanks ! Your enthusiasm is motivational, I will start it this evening, and hopefully be at a decent point to share something over the weekend.
swamprabbit reacted to a post in a topic: Pre-built kernels!
Thank you for sharing that! I have been holding off on the install, I am not overly rushed at the moment. I having been planning the install, will do it soon, and will document it and share it. I was acutally reading the the deadline scheduler can actually be better in some situations than noop.

Thanks, I plan on messing with Chuse later this week. :) As of today here is the info from DistroWatch Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 161 (69), 6 months: 158 (72), 3 months: 151 (73), 4 weeks: 133 (73), 1 week: 111 (82) I also posted a comment on DistroWatch Weekly about getting some attention and reviews of distros that have not been reviewed (i.e. Funtoo). ;) Made mention of drobbins work on Ego and Epro as noteworthy news announcment. http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20150511&mode=67 Its comment #9
duncan.britton reacted to a post in a topic: Funtoo ranking on DistroWatch
I agree with you. I want to do more on the wiki with what time I can give right now. I added the Kodi package because I use it and someone has a question about trying to install XBMC because they didn't know about the name change. I was looking at working the one Samba one, but I am not a full expert on Samba an all its internals. I noticed the Chuse package has a ebuild page, but doesn't show up here http://www.funtoo.org/Ebuilds Neither does Xfce, I'd like to document some things I found out need to really be done after installing xfce-meta if you want a fully usable desktop from DM to DE. I am going to document my Yoga 2 11 install and post it on a free Wordpress blog I started to talk about Funtoo.
Funtoo ranking on DistroWatch
swamprabbit posted a topic in General DiscussionNot that if really matters or is a proper way of gauging a distro's popularity, because it really really isn't. Just wanted to share with anyone who cares or never took notice that Funtoo has moved up quite a few positions lately. As of today it has the following listed: Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 163 (68), 6 months: 157 (72), 3 months: 154 (72), 4 weeks: 139 (72), 1 week: 118 (75) http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=funtoo The Funtoo DistroWatch page does not list any reviews, which is a shame. I highly doubt Jesse Smith from DistroWatch would go through the trouble of installing Funtoo and doing a review, I can't recall the last time he did a review of a distro that didn't have a "one click" installer. :P But it would be awesome if he did and would give Funtoo some well deserved time in the spotlight because disto's which don't have actual releases never get on the front page really. I wonder if Funtoo can break the top 100 before the end of the year either way? Because that would be awesome!
Funtoo Stuff
swamprabbit replied to gnuardo's topic in General DiscussionThis also interests me, but only if some of the money goes back to Funtoo
sitquietly, thank you for sharing all of that. I know what you mean about Arch/Manjaro though, the Manjaro OpenRC interests me because sometimes a simple binary based install is good in certain situations. I usually did my Debian installs from the net install and yes as soon as you get far enough, it gets pretty bloated and cumbersome in the end sometimes. I did look at Calculate Linux prior to deciding Funtoo offered me everything I really want for the most part. My problem with Calculate was probably because I installed using the desktop option, rather than start with the core install. I did this to see what would get installed and how usable it would be right out the box. It was nice and all but my main gripe is that it seems to be designed to be connected with a Calcuate Linux server, there are a lot of extras and what not which seem either overkill or redundant. The package installation through the gui seemed far more complext than just doing it via the CLI and config files. I wasn't a huge fan of a lot of the gui tools right away. Everything did work out of the box though and I think they are on the right track as far as a Gentoo based distro for ease of use and possibly helping to make its adoption more spread, but in the end it seemed much easier to built from scratch than rip apart the Calculate Linux install. I do plan on going back and actually giving it a long term demo though. For the longest time I have used Debian on my servers, starting from the base. My desktops, laptops, and HTPCs have mostly either used a full Debian or Linux Mint Xfce install and I would rip it apart, but like you pointed out you can only do so much. I for sure need to get familiar with the more advanced capabilities that are available like you mentioned in the last part of your post. I'm getting there slowly but surely with what time I can spare. I've learned a lot so far working with Funtoo, I realized that I should have started with a source based distro a long time ago like people I know. The foundation of knowledge and experience is built better that way.
swamprabbit reacted to a post in a topic: Opinions on using Funtoo or different distro on my Lenovo Yoga 2 11
nrc, thanks. I don't need the whole Libreoffice package, so I'll probably install each part separately. I'm going to start an install with a spinning rust drive this weekend to test it all out, mostly because the touch screen, and rotation seems to cause problems on other distros.

Thanks! I have also read that SSD lifespan is far better than what it was when they first came out. I had issues with a first gen OCZ on a FreeBSD box a long time ago, I think it died from logging too much, which also was probably my own fault. Just sorta been cautious ever since. :P I would probably update it every other week, maybe once a month, and try and update/upgrade in stages. I like to keep my systems very usage specific and have noticed that my updates/upgrades have been fairly minimal since using Funtoo to begin with. Its mostly just been because I am getting the hang fully of using USE flags. Libreoffice will probably be the biggest package installed on the laptop. Thank you for bringing that up. I am still very new to Funtoo/Gentoo, I read a bit about it, and now that you are bringing it up... I'll have to look at that again.
swamprabbit reacted to a post in a topic: Opinions on using Funtoo or different distro on my Lenovo Yoga 2 11
Thank you for a personal example. That is exactly what I will be using it for, so yes I wouldn't be updating it that often either. I bought an 250GB Samsung 840 evo for it, which I know I won't fill up, so I will be able to keep spare sectors to reduce write amplification. I assume you do not use any of the 2GB of RAM for /tmp /var/tmp and you have a swap partition on your SSD? I guess adjusting the swapiness, using noatime, using binary packages for things like Firefox, and other minor things to reduce random writes would be a good start and see how it performs.

Firenados, or fire tornados, can form out of the winds and extreme heat of wildfires. Firenados can move quickly and reach temperatures of 2000°F, so even though they normally last just a few minutes, they can cause severe destruction. Following is the text of the video.
This is a "firenado," or fire tornado. It formed out of wildfires in Arganil, Portugal. Firenados are swirling columns of fire, but they aren't really tornados. Tornados result from conditions high in the atmosphere. Firenados form because of conditions on the ground. Hot, dry air rises rapidly and forms a column. That column of air begins to swirl. As it gains speed, it picks up flaming embers and debris. Then it becomes a blazing tower of fire.
Firenados are similar to dust devils, but with fire instead of dust. They can reach temperatures of 2000°F and be hundreds of feet tall. They normally only last a few minutes, but that's enough time to cause serious damage and endanger lives.

Hot on the heel of our recently released Thirty years War characters, King Gustavus Adolphus and Wallenstein comes another giant of this conflict – the Count of Tilly. Get your hands on this beautfilly sculpted model here.
Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, commanded the Imperial forces during the Thirty Years War. He had a string of important victories against the Protestants but was then defeated by forces led by the King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. Along with Albrecht von Wallenstein he was one of two chief commanders of the Holy Roman Empire's forces.
A great general he met his end after being hit by a cannonball at the Battle of Rain against the Swedish forces. Gustavus sent his own personal physician to tend to his wounds leading Tilly to tell him "Your king is truly a noble knight". Sadly Tilly was to die of tetanus from his wound fifteen days later.
And let's not forget this pair of new miniatures depicting two of the famous commanders from the war – King of Sweden Gustavus Adolphus and his counterpart in the Imperial army, Wallenstein.
A gifted politician and soldier from Bohemia, Wallenstein grew in stature to command armies for the Imperialist, or Habsburg cause, fielding vast forces in many battles in The Thirty Years War. Despite his many successes he fell out of Imperial favour and was accused of treachery and sadly brutally murdered in his bed by an Englishman, Walter Devreaux; a poor end to an interesting life.
We have him astride his horse in full cuirassier armour, the classic dress of a general of the period. He could equally be used as an unnamed commander in either the Thirty Years War or, equally, in the English Civil Wars.
The charismatic King of Sweden who changed seventeenth century warfare forever with his reforms. We depict him here in buffcoat and with drawn sword leaping his horse over an obstacle, once again leading from the front like all proper politicians should do!
Once you select a general, you'll need some men to lead! Choose from our Imperialist Regiment, Swedish Regiment, or Cuirassiers. You simply can't go wrong with these boxes!

'Magic City' Season 1, Episode 6: 'The Harder They Fall' Recap0
When it takes time away from shooting dogs, prostitutes and johns, it's really quite amazing how much potential Magic City shows. In what is arguably the season's strongest episode, the Miramar Playa is prepping to play host to both a big time boxing match and Jackie Kennedy. Unfortunately for both Ike (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his lovely wife Vera (Olga Kurylenko), neither event is going to pay off like they'd hoped.
'The Harder They Fall' seems far less concerned with setting up scenes of flashy violence or just plain flashing – though there's plenty of that – just not by anyone you'd expect. The episode digs deeper into the thinking of Ike Evans and his family, which, to no one's surprise, isn't exactly equal across the board. ...

Interview: Chris Parnell Talks 'SNL,' 'Archer' & 'Five-Year Engagement'0
The Avengers fever is still raging in theaters across the world. But if you've already seen Joss Whedon's epic ensemble for the third time and are looking for a different entertainment flavor you may want to check out Chris Parnell in director Nicholas Stoller's The Five-Year Engagement (the romantic comedy Stoller penned with writing partner Jason Segel).
The film takes a lighthearted look at what happens when a couple can't seem to make it past the engagement and into a marriage. Parnell, the phenomenology talented comedian perhaps best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, Archer and Suburgatory plays the stay at home dad/hunting buddy of Jason Segel's character Tom Solomon.
We had the chance to speak with Parnell recently about his work on Archer, the competition on Saturday Night Live, and learning to gut a deer for his ...

It's not Too Late for John Hawkes; Nicole Kidman takes a bite out of The Family Fang; Sean Bean climbs Devil's Peak and Jaume Collet-Serra and Liam Neeson go from Unknown to Non-Stop.
1. Oscar-nominee John Hawkes will take the lead in Too Late, a new drama from Dennis Hauck.
Too Late will be Hauck's debut as a director (he also wrote the script) and the non-linear film follows "the tangled relationship between a troubled private investigator (Hawkes) and the missing woman he's hired to help find."
The cast will be rounded out by Rider Strong, Natalie Zea, Dichen Lachman, Brett Jacobsen and legendary fimmaker Peter Bogdanovich. Hawkes also has the Elmore adaptation Switch on the way – the Jackie Brown 'prequel' co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Dennis Quaid.

NBC Cancels 'Awake' And Three Freshman Comedies0
This one is rough. While clearing room to accommodate its hot new slate of programming guaranteed to last at least a few weeks into the new season, NBC informed everyone that one of its better shows, Awake, will not be renewed for a second season after its May 24 finale.
Honestly, it was an uphill battle for the series, which had trouble attracting a wide audience since its premiere back in early March. Since then, the ratings hovered around the problematic, but not disastrous, level. Even though a slight uptick in viewership was seen with 'Say Hello to my Little Friend' – which surely is attributable to the appearance of Alias star Kevin Weisman – there would be no fourth quarter comeback for Jason Isaacs or series creator Kyle Killen.
For his part, Killen bravely took to ...

Kingdom (biology) Prefixes can be added so subkingdom and infrakingdom are the two ranks immediately below kingdom.
Superkingdom may be considered as an equivalent of domain or empire or as an independent rank between kingdom and domain or subdomain. In some classification systems the additional rank branch (Latin: ramus) can be inserted between subkingdom and infrakingdom (e.g. Protostomia and Deuterostomia in the classification of Cavalier-Smith[3]). From around the mid-1970s onwards, there was an increasing emphasis on comparisons of genes on the molecular level (initially ribosomal RNA genes) as the primary factor in classification; genetic similarity was stressed over outward appearances and behavior.

TU Law alumnus Bill Carmody and his team from Susman Godfrey have been brought on by Uber Technologies to join its already large trial team in an intellectual property case against Waymo over self-driving car technology.
Waymo, the driverless car unit of Alphabet, sued Uber in February alleging that the ride-hailing giant was ripping off its technology in the race to get ahead in developing a LiDAR device—the laser-based navigation system for driverless vehicles.
Much of the case has centered around allegations that a former Waymo engineer, Anthony Levandowski, made off with 14,000 files before leaving the company and later joining Uber as a senior engineer through an acquisition deal. But Uber says it never saw any of those files, and that Waymo hasn't proven Uber is using any of Waymo's protected trade secrets.
"Several of Waymo's alleged trade secrets should be knocked out by summary judgment," wrote Carmody in the filing, known as a précis, "but based on the court's guidance, Uber requests permission to file a motion for summary judgment on only two issues." The five-page filing, which is heavily redacted, claims the code-named "Fuji" device that Uber has developed is different in key ways from Waymo's claimed patent. It also says that Waymo's own engineers have acknowledged that concepts claimed in the trade secret—referred to as "TS9"—are "generally known" and therefore are not protectable under the law.
Carmody has squared off before against the lawyer leading the case for Waymo, Charles Verhoeven of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan. The two went head-to-head in a trial over satellite technology, in a case that ultimately settled for $100 million—but not before Carmody wiped out a $283 million verdict for Verhoeven's client in 2014.
Carmody is a nationally recognized trial lawyer who tries bet-the-company cases for plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts throughout the country. He is a permanent member of Susman Godfrey's Executive Committee and heads its New York office. Carmody is perennially listed in the Lawdragon 500, the guide to America's leading 500 lawyers. He's ranked in the Chambers USA Guide to America's Leading Lawyers and included in Benchmark's Top 100 Trial Lawyers. His peers have voted him both a "New York Super Lawyer" and a "Texas Super Lawyer" (Thomas Reuters, New York: 2008 – 2016, Texas: 2003 – 2006). Carmody is also listed in The Best Lawyers in America in five categories, including Bet-the-Company Litigation.

The Coelacanth, pronounced see-luh-kanth, is a prehistoric-looking fish that scientists thought had gone extinct 66 to 80 million years ago, until one was discovered in a fisherman's haul near the Chalumna River by South African museum curator Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer:
On 22 December 1938, she received a telephone call that such a fish had been brought in. She went to the docks to inspect the catch of Captain Hendrik Goosen. "I picked away at the layers of slime to reveal the most beautiful fish I had ever seen," she said. "It was five foot long, a pale mauvy blue with faint flecks of whitish spots; it had an iridescent silver-blue-green sheen all over. It was covered in hard scales, and it had four limb-like fins and a strange puppy dog tail."
Since this discovery, two coelacanth species have been found along the Indonesian and eastern African coastlines. The latter's Latimeria chalumnae population is critically endangered… which brings us to the video above.
From the American Museum of Natural History, this is Shelf Life: Six Ways To Prepare a Coelacanth. Ichthyology Curator Melanie L. J. Stiassny explains how a 1962 specimen and its quintuplets, properly prepared for study in a variety of ways, can continue to provide answers about its species (and ours) for generations into the future.

Ferguson Offers Stark Lessons On Press and Citizen Freedoms
FERGUSON, Mo. - Tensions continue to run high in Ferguson following last week's clashes in which protestors and journalists were assaulted, arrested, and tear-gassed. Experts caution what happened in Ferguson could happen anywhere.
David Cullier is the president of the Society of Professional Journalists, and he says in cities across the nation every day, journalists are prevented from doing their job because of police who don't understand or don't uphold the freedom of the press.
"This really isn't about the press versus the police," says Cullier. "This is the citizenry versus the police, and we all need to remember that."
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Missouri has filed a lawsuit to challenge the police policy of demanding and ordering members of the media and public to stop recording the police acting in their official duty on public streets and sidewalks, and to declare the police policy unconstitutional. The Ferguson protests began in reaction to the police shooting of unarmed teenager named Michael Brown.
Cullier says it's not just reporters and camera crews who face this sort of harassment, now that almost every person carries a recording device of some sort.
"That person is likely or possibly going to be equally accosted and arrested by police, their phone taken away, told to delete their images," says Cullier. "The difference is most citizens don't realize they have a right to record events in public."
As part of the mission to promote the free flow of information, Cullier says his organization has provided training for law enforcement, journalists and citizens in a half dozen communities on the rights and responsibilities for anyone to photograph or take video in public, and has offered to hold such a training in Ferguson.

Copyright © 2020 Craig Everett
Version: 2.1.0
Authors: Craig Everett (email@example.com) [web site: https://gitlab.com/zxq9/zuuid].
An example Erlang project that implements RFC 4122 UUID generators and functions.
A UUID is a 128-bit value generated in a way that can generally be assumed unique across all systems in the world. This solves a number of otherwise tricky "how should I identify item X?" problems in a uniform way that is respected across a wide variety of systems.
If you need to generate unique keys in an arbitrary number of systems and possibly merge the values later without worrying about merge conflicts on key values then UUIDs are for you. This is a surprisingly common problem in distributed computing, especially document systems, persistent messaging and database management.
You don't usually need to know anything about UUIDs other than that they are safe to use as unique values to use them in your programs and databases. Most languages, frameworks, runtimes, operating systems and databases either have UUID support built-in or have robust support available through an external library (like this one).
There are several UUID generation algorithms, four of which are documented in RFC 4122. The basic principle to all of them is that a UUID should either be:
Version 1 values are based on 100 nanosecond time intervals, a "clock sequence" and the generating system's MAC address (or a suitable 48-bit substitute).
Version 2 values are generally similar to version 1, but also include some user and group ID values. (Use of this version is pretty rare, though it may be appropriate if you need the generated values to be distinguishable from one another.)
Version 3 UUIDs are based on the MD5 hash of the input value. MD5 itself has been deprecated, though, so if you need a way to generate keys reproduceably from an input value but do not want them to be reversible or susceptible to hash collisions, use version 5 instead.
Version 4 UUIDs are completely random. Values generated by this library are pulled from the system entropy device (if one is present) by calling crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1.
Version 5 UUIDs are based on a truncated SHA1 hash of the input value. (SHA1 hashes are 160 bytes long, and UUIDs are only 128 bytes; the extra bits are discarded.) This is the same principle as version 3, but carries a much stronger guarantee of resistance to reversal of the hashed value and potential collisions.
"Version 6" (non-standard; hereafter referred to as "vVI") are the same as standard v1 UUIDs with the bytes of the timestamp field reordered from high to low. (Reference here)
Generation and detection of all five standard versions plus non-standard vVI UUIDs is supported by this library as well as detection of a few other non-RFC UUID variants.
Values generated by zuuid are represented internally as tuples of the form
{uuid, <<_:128>>}.
The canonical serialization format is a hexadecimal string broken in periods of 6-4-4-4-12.
See the example shell session or the documentation site for details and examples of how
to generate and convert values among various representations (don't worry, its pretty
straight forward).
zuuid is an RFC 4122 UUID implementation in Erlang focused on readability, plain coding style and clear documentation. A primary goal of this project is to act as a showcase for readable Erlang code and documentation.
This is a fully-featured UUID generation utility, despite being an example project. This project implements version 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and VI UUIDs and includes a process-based implementation of a value-checker to guarantee that high-frequency calls to version 1, 2 and VI generators will not result in accidentally duplicate values.

Learner up for award
PUBLISHED: 16:30 25 January 2008 | UPDATED: 19:33 05 July 2010
A QUALIFIED lipreading teacher from Oulton Broad is in with a chance of winning a national educational award after being nominated by one of her tutors.
A QUALIFIED lipreading teacher from Oulton Broad is in with a chance of winning a national educational award after being nominated by one of her tutors.
Mary Stephens has been nominated for a NIACE (National Institute of Adult Continuing Education) individual adult learner's award by Heléne Ferguson after impressing during her 18 months training at the City Lit, in Covent Garden.
Mary, who lost around 80pc of her hearing about 35 years ago, has managed to lead as normal a life as possible through lipreading and visual clues and has gone on to successfully obtain a dual qualification in the theory and practical teaching of lipreading and the City and Guilds 7407 Certificate in Further and Adult Education - level one stage four.
Each year NIACE, which exists to promote the interests of a diverse range of learners, encourages nominations from colleges, businesses, adult education providers, museums and libraries as part of their Adult Learners' Week Awards 2008.
This special week in May is the UK's largest festival of learning and each nominee illustrates how learning as an adult can create confidence, inspire new careers and completely transform lives for the better.
Mrs Stephens said: "When I first found out that Heléne wanted to nominate me for this award I was gobsmacked as firstly I'd never heard of NIACE or the awards, and secondly, although I felt I had worked very hard on the course, so did everyone else. The course was a huge challenge for me and one I wanted to complete successfully, so I gave it my best, as I do with everything."
Mary is set to receive a certificate of achievement celebrating her nomination, while if she is chosen as a winner she will receive a learning voucher and will be invited to an awards ceremony held during Adult Learners' Week.
City Lit also organises a special ceremony and invites all of its nominees to attend the event.
Mary currently runs two classes on Wednesdays at the SDA building, in Blackheath Road, Lowestoft, and two classes on Thursdays at Maltings Meadow Sports Club, in Ditchingham.
Anyone interested in joining the classes, which are free to those with hearing loss or their partners, should contact the association at Suffolk Deaf Association, 49 Fonnerau Road, Ipswich IP1 3JN, call 01473 251179 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

I honestly dislike the idea too. Still I havent seen better idea about this matter. Temple leeches basicly are made to ruin efforts of others and nothing can be done to legal multies. This has whole new scale that is here to stay. I dislike that more. So I voted yes.
its not strategy if there isint viable counter measure. If all linked accounts were public information then maybe then I could agree. Since farming main account to inactivation would be possible. But as things are. Its abuse of an feature that should not be in game in the first place. Also in new servers multies are used to build mine accounts, big donators and banks. All these uses are same as pickpocketing. GF is offering res with ambro or by building your own account. Yet some people rather c…
newbie questions
1. Have you build temple with no priests 2. Is he attacking for raiding purposes 3. Have you reached Bureaucracy 4. Have you build 4x10lvl warehouses If your temple reducess miracle faith it makes sense he wants you to ho inactive. If he attacks for res then build warehouses. After 4 empty attacks contact him politely. Against blocade use smuggling
Yes please
He says that you are basicly coward in your way of thinking. Just because multies are allowed. It dosent mean everyone should join them in coward train.
Quote from Pepi: "Quote from Vergre: "gold pillage was feature too. Because of it many people build multies that produced gold and filled islands with dead accounts. Because that it was removed. Piracy is abused in similar manner and it boosts very limited amounts of player base. Barbarians are open to everyone. Equally. Which is why its more fair.. even if kinda pointless " The fact that you say that barbarians are kinda pointless clearly shows you haven't fully explored the feature. You could …

Its more accurate to say this was an war game than it is one. I do understand your conserns. Having 0 general points shows that we aint "playing" but protesting against these dumdum features listed above. I do hope people here chat and stay active. I personaly came here to see "what has changed". Thats because I once loved this game and spen really good amounts of money awhile playing. And I do believe there still are veterans that join on/off to this game.. just to be dissapointed. Once effects…
rebelxx2.png Last Rebels -RIOT- We last rebels are group of players protesting against piracy and ability to buy resources. What we hope to see in near future is that Piracy is changed drastically or removed completely from this game. Like gold pillaging was removed when it became problem for game balance. Piracy is a problem. Because of it highscore list is very uneven and dosent reflect overall ability to play this game anymore. Piracy simply plays too large role in this game. Another issue th…
Im old/new in this game. I last played long long time ago... when piracy ruined this game.. Well still does. Anyways. I see few new ambrosia features and I would like to ask what does feature pests do. Does it turn towns to giant frogs or does it give damage to target town? I have more stupid question.. Im just warming up. Moved from Game discussion to H&Q - Hera

Recently, I was invited to speak to our keenest Year 9 Science classes on the topic of 'Evolution, the Big Bang and Catholicism'. And they were not backward in popping the penetrating questions! It always interests me that the boys at first can think it strange that someone could have a background in science, yet still be a priest.

The Moneyfacts Annual pet insurance Ratings are out now. We've reviewed hundreds of products to find those that deserve the top marks of five-stars.
The basic savings rate, first suggested by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in July, could introduce a minimum interest rate across savings accounts. With many savers keeping their pots in the same low-paying savings account, this could provide a boon to the market. However, more than half (59%) of savers don't think this measure would go far enough.
According to a survey by Ford Money, 67% are worried that if banks are able to set the rate themselves, it would likely be too low to make any difference. At the same time, a significant 78% of savers feel that banks are using their customers' loyalty against them by paying lower rates.
"The savings industry needs a shakeup and to do its part to recognise loyal savers," Suzanne Lewsley, chief deposits officer at Ford Money, agreed. "It shouldn't rest solely on regulator interventions for the industry or savers to act with their feet to acknowledge and reward long-time customers with fair rates."
One non-regulatory solution that particularly appeals to those surveyed is for banks to pay new and existing customers the same interest, favoured by 46%. Meanwhile, 32% think the FCA should have some control over the difference in rates between new and existing customers' accounts and 45% believe the basic savings rate should be set at the same level as the Bank of England base rate, which currently stands at 0.75%.
We've reported previously that many accounts on the market – especially easy access accounts – have rates that pay less than base rate. And yet, a lot of savers seem content to stick with them, as the data further revealed that over half (54%) have held their main savings account for more than five years now, with 32% unlikely to switch in the next year. A concerning 27% even said they've never switched to a new savings provider.
The basic savings rate may not be as successful in combating this apathy as the FCA predicts, either, as 45% said they would actually be less likely to switch to a more competitive deal if they think they're already getting a good return on the basic savings rate. This may be why Yorkshire Building Society is suggesting that any account offering less than a certain rate should no longer be considered a savings account.
"We need to do more to create a 'save first' culture – the benefits of doing so would be felt by individuals and society as a whole," commented Mike Regnier, chief executive of Yorkshire Building Society. "Labelling accounts which are specifically designed for long-term savings rather than day-to-day spending could help encourage that change in perspective and we believe it is worthy of further investigation."
As remarked by Suzanne Lewsley, we can't rely solely on regulation to make us aware of better savings rates. Of course, if you've found your way to Moneyfacts.co.uk, we probably don't need to remind you of the benefits of shopping around to find the best savings deal.

Senate legislation proposes changes to how police and other enforcement officers interact with minors in possession of tobacco and vapor products.
SB 6489, sponsored by Sen. Rebecca Saldaña (D–Seattle), amends current law to reflect the new minimum age for purchasing and possessing tobacco and vapor products, and places new guidelines on how police interact with minors in possession of these products.
Currently, police are authorized to detain and seize contraband products from minors. SB 6489 adds a requirement that police provide the detained minor with documentation describing the products seized and written information on available cessation resources.
Please contact Sharon or Jacob with your feedback on this bill.
SB 6489 is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate Human Services, Reentry & Rehabilitation Committee at 8 am on Wednesday, February 5.

Drop & Go – We would politely ask that you 'Drop and Go' and you will be advised a time for collection. There is the option to see a Service Advisor or to complete an express check-in envelope should you wish to avoid any unnecessary contact.
We have made several 2-hour waiting appointments available; however, your requirements should be discussed at the point of booking to ensure this is practical and we can accommodate this whilst maintaining social distancing. Unfortunately, there will be no refreshments available at this time.
Servicing - The Technicians will use a vehicle protection pack which includes gloves and seat covers. To minimised contact with your vehicles, there will be no usual Service Wash and Vac, however all touchpoints will be sanitised before returning your vehicle to you.

A: Yes, you can wait for your vehicle, please discuss when booking. We are asking all customers to leave their vehicle with us and depart if they can. As you can imagine we would like to reduce the number of people inside the premises to as few as possible to keep everyone safe.
Q: Can I have a loan vehicle whilst my vehicle is in?
A: We are unable to supply you with a loan vehicle at present. We have not established a way to make a vehicle safe with a rotation of multiple occupants. This may change in the future, however right now we don't have a safe solution and will not put our customers and staff at increased risk.
Q: My MOT is/was due, do I need to have it done?
A: We would recommend you do have an MOT carried out as soon as possible.
The Government have provided a 6-month grace period for any vehicle with an MOT due date of 30th March 2020 and August 1st, 2020. However, whilst you have an extension and do not need a new up to date MOT certificate, owners are still required to ensure their vehicle is safe to use on the roads, roadworthiness is still legally enforced. We are carrying out MOT tests and would suggest the only way for you to be certain that your vehicle meets all legal expectations for use on the public roads, is to get booked in.
As of 29th June, the Government have confirmed that if your MOT is due on or after August 1st, you will be required to get a test certificate to continue driving your vehicle.

Networks of Experience: Art and (Dis)Embodiment
2019 CADN Graduate Conference
March 15-16, 2019
100 McCaul Street, Toronto, Ontario, Room 190
Free Admission to all conference events, lunch provided!
OCAD University is an accessible space
March 15: Keynote Speaker
Dr. Erin Manning (Concordia University, SenseLab)
March 16: 4 Panels of Speakers
Reception and Exhibition to follow the conference on March 16th
49 McCaul St. from 5:30-8:00 p.m.;
Exhibiting Artists: Andrew O'Connor, Angela Glanzmann, and Madeleine McMillan
Any encounter between an audience and a work of art is experiential. Beyond this universal dimension, much of contemporary art asks more of its viewers than just viewing. These works engage multiple modes of observation, sensation, participation, reflection, and (dis)embodiment that have the power to affect and engage bodies in new and adaptive ways. Art that demands physical attention, emotional labour, or visceral reactions crosses into new territory and invites varied modes of experience, including those of memory, haunting, and tradition. It can lead the audience to a deeper understanding of practices that affirm experiences from the past, as well as experiences of the Other that aim to dismantle Western colonialism.
In this context, experience turns from an act of recognition of a meaning intrinsic to the object, to a meaning that is grounded in the encounter between the artist's experience and that of the spectator. Keeping open the multiple threads of experience , this conference invites investigations of experience in contemporary art, across its various embodied practices: artists' lived/personal experience as embodied in their art; the experiences of spectators and audiences; and experience as cultural legacy/history, including experiences of colonialism and decolonization.


text: He likewise adds, that they should say to such as would not receive them: |Notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.| If He does not enjoin this by way of a commination, the injunction is a most useless one. For what mattered it to them that the kingdom was at hand, unless its approach was accompanied with judgment? -- even for the salvation of such as received the announcement thereof. How, if there can be a threat without its accomplishment, can you have in a threatening god, one that executes also, and in both, one that is a judicial being? So, again, He commands that the dust be shaken off against them, as a testimony, -- the very particles of their ground which might cleave to the sandal, not to mention any other sort of communication with them. But if their churlishness and inhospitality were to receive no vengeance from Him, for what purpose does He premise a testimony, which surely forbodes some threats? Furthermore, when the Creator also, in the book of Deuteronomy, forbids the reception of the Ammonites and the Moabites into the church, because, when His people came from Egypt, they fraudulently withheld provisions from them with inhumanity and inhospitality, it will be manifest that the prohibition of intercourse descended to Christ from Him. The form of it which He uses -- |He that despiseth you, despiseth me| -- the Creator had also addressed to Moses: |Not against thee have they murmured, but against me.| Moses, indeed, was as much an apostle as the apostles were prophets. The authority of both offices will have to be equally divided, as it proceeds from one and the same Lord, (the God) of apostles and prophets. Who is He that shall bestow |the power of treading on serpents and scorpions?| Shall it be He who is the Lord of all living creatures or he who is not god over a single lizard? Happily the Creator has promised by Isaiah to give this power even to little children, of putting their hand in the cockatrice den and on the hole of the young asps without at all receiving hurt. And, indeed, we are aware (without doing violence to the literal sense of the passage, since even these noxious animals have actually been unable to do hurt where there has been faith) that under the figure of scorpions and serpents are portended evil spirits, whose very prince is described by the name of serpent, dragon, and every other most conspicuous beast in the power of the Creator. This power the Creator conferred first of all upon His Christ, even as the ninetieth Psalm says to Him: |Upon the asp and the basilisk shalt Thou tread; the lion and the dragon shalt Thou trample under foot.| So also Isaiah: |In that day the Lord God shall draw His sacred, great, and strong sword| (even His Christ) |against that dragon, that great and tortuous serpent; and He shall slay him in that day.| But when the same prophet says, |The way shall be called a clean and holy way; over it the unclean thing shall not pass, nor shall be there any unclean way; but the dispersed shall pass over it, and they shall not err therein; no lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon; it shall not be found there,| he points out the way of faith, by which we shall reach to God; and then to this way of faith he promises this utter crippling and subjugation of all noxious animals. Lastly, you may discover the suitable times of the promise, if you read what precedes the passage: |Be strong, ye weak hands and ye feeble knees: then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear; then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be articulate.| When, therefore, He proclaimed the benefits of His cures, then also did He put the scorpions and the serpents under the feet of His saints -- even He who had first received this power from the Father, in order to bestow it upon others and then manifested it forth conformably to the order of prophecy.
