As Taylor Swift and corn maze enthusiasts alike have flocked to Summers Farm's Taylor Swift-shaped corn maze since its opening on September 26, one thing has become eminently clear: Taylor Swift is not actually on the property.
What is on the property is a painted Taylor Swift cutout for fans to pose with. The cutout Taylor Swift is dressed in red shorts and a striped t-shirt, with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. While the fashion choices for the cutout strongly resemble an outfit worn by Swift on her Red album tour, the overall effect is a rather crude, garish imitation of the pop princess.
But, hey, whatever it takes to feel close to Taytay.

Originally published in SLAM 134
The 6th Man: One of the great things about this magazine's staff and the tremendous sport we cover is that the combination involved yields a seemingly limitless range of ideas. While the labor involved would be a bitch, I often say that we have enough ideas floating around here to make SLAM a weekly. There will be a Clippers-Knicks Finals before that ever happens in this media climate, but the point is: We've got concepts like DeShawn Stevenson's got tattoos.
This month's theme is a Lang Whitaker Special: the How-To Issue. Four special regional covers (if you don't get the one you want in your region, hit up simbackissues.com and click on SLAM to order any or all of them) and expert—as in, dudes who play in the NBA expert—instruction on 18 different aspects of the basketball experience, relevant to many levels of the game. Do you play competitively? Then you'll want to study this info-packed issue closely. Are you just a fan? We've got words of wisdom for you, too. And all of it is delivered in our typically entertaining fashion.
We didn't stop at the oversized How-To package which begins on pg. 38, though. We've also got features on burgeoning big man Brook Lopez, the oddly built Dallas Mavericks, the fifth anniversary of the Malice at the Palace and a great Old-School story on Tom Meschery, only the first Russian and Chinese-born player in the NBA…and a gifted poet.
Plus top high school and college players, dope posters, new gear and Dave Zirin.
Where else are you going to find a mix like that? You can thank us, and you can thank the game (and maybe even The Game. After all, he's in here, too).

There are not any blocks with one square in them...hmmm...
I was so excited seeing all the blocks I took this picture before realizing the mistake! It is certainly better to catch it early!
Just putting the blocks on the design wall can be confusing! I thought I had it too! After sewing a few rows together I posted a picture on Instagram. Turned out to be a good thing too! Cynthia who blogs at Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework, had a keen eye! She pointed out what she thought was a misplace block...and she was right! The block with the pink pin, yeah...wrong! It was an easy fix (thankfully)! Thank you so much Cynthia, you saved what could have been a disaster!
The first quilt had a beautiful aqua backing, so naturally I wanted something different for this one. I went with black. And white.
I also decided I would quilt this one myself. I loved the long arm design on the first quilt and thought I could do a variation of that with my machine. I was worried it wouldn't be as effective, but it turned out great. I was very pleased!

|Is it a bug or a feature?
User: 'There's a bug in this software. It does X and it should do Y.'
Programmer: 'Sorry, that's not a bug, it's a feature.'
User: '??!?'
I need to briefly dive into the origins of this word 'bug' before exploring the sociology. You will see it said that the word originated from the early days of computing. A (valve) computer failed and on investigation it was found by the early computer expert Grace Hopper that there was a large insect in the machine had caused a short circuit. The insect was stuck in the computer's log book with a write up that said there was a "bug" in the system. And so the term started to be used.
This would be a good story for the origin if the term hadn't been in use by engineers in Victorian times. While it probably did refer to some such incident in the dim and unrecorded past with a mechanical device, the early computing example was just making use of a term that already existed.
Meanwhile back at that programmer/user conversation - a bug is when a computer program does something it shouldn't because of an error in the code. A (bad) feature is when it does something the user doesn't want it to, but there is no actual error. The code is operating fine. It isn't making any logical errors. It's just that (say) it won't let you put more than nine passengers on a plane. Not much use in a system for calculating loads on a 747, but it is a feature, not a bug.
This all came back to me when I had an argument with the support department of a software company called Yabdab. (Boggle.) As a result of my move to Mac I've started re-writing my websites, as my old website software doesn't have a Mac version. I'm using a product called RapidWeaver, which has lots of bolt-ons called stacks. And I'm using a nice little stack from Yabdab called PaySnap that makes it easy to take payments on a website. With me so far? A big advantage of this over using Paypal direct, as I did previously is that it sets up a nice little shopping cart/trolley on your site and you only go off to Paypal to handle payment when all the items are in the cart. Excellent.
|Hang on, that was £10.99 a minute ago...
I was implementing this on my Hymn CDs site, which has two versions, one operating in UK pounds, the other in US dollars. This is appreciated by US customers, who prefer to pay in their own currency - and why not? But here's the thing. As far as I can see, Paysnap only sets up one shopping cart on a computer. If I put an item into the cart from the UK site, then go to the US site and add an item in dollars, then the first item is still in the cart - but its price has been switched from pounds to dollars. Put it in at £10 and it is now $10. A bargain.
Yabdab aren't interested in doing anything to fix this because as far as they are concerned it's a feature. So stuff stays in the cart? Not ideal, but hey. I argue, though, that because it crosses the line and makes an actual mistake (converting from pounds to dollars or vice versa by simply changing from £ to $) it's a bug. They still won't fix it - but I feel I have the moral high ground.

There is a song that I love by Pat Barrett. It's titled 'Canvas and the Clay'. The song expresses that God is an Artist and a Potter. And WE are the Canvas and the Clay.
Just Beautiful. ❤
He knows our whole story. And He is shaping and molding and painting as He sees fit.
Yet somehow, I forgot the fact that God – in all His Sovereign Power – has the ability to provide things in my life that I didn't ask for.
To shape my story.
Recently He hit me a doozy!!!! And it has re-shaped my understanding of God………in an amazing way.
God's love through Divine Provision
Whenever God blessed me with something before, I never saw it as if He did it because He loved me. I would only see that He did it because I asked for it and had Faith that He would do it.
Sigh…..I never even realized what a poor mindset that was to have!
But now I am seeing something that I did not specifically ask for being manifested.
And amazingly………….all I can see……..IS GOD'S LOVE.
That's why He did it.
Not because I asked.
Or because I deserved it.
Not because I stood in faith that it would happen. (I was completely terrified at first! I couldn't understand WHY God would send this NOW!!!)
But I had to let go and trust Him. Completely.
And face my fears.
And on the other side………..I found the love of my Heavenly Father.
I understand so many things about Him better now……it's crazy!!!!
But I love it. 😊🙌❤
God loves you!! And He knows what is best for you right now. He also knows when to give you what you have been asking for.
So………in this season, try asking God to help you trust His Heart, and not only seek His Hand.
You are the Canvas and the Clay ❤

Minor Upgrade breaks Uninstall
Hi, I have a little problem trying to build a minor update for my application.
Installation of the minor upgrade works fine and I also followed all "rules", adding several new components but not removing any existing feature, component or key file.
The problem arises when I try to uninstall the application. Once the minor upgrade is installed, uninstallation doesn't work anymore and always asks for the original MSI file (not the one of the upgrade).
Setup and the Upgrade are different InstallShield projects but with the same name, upgrade code, product code. Also the features and components are identical (except for the new components), so I think this shouldn't be an issue.
Major upgrades work well with the same upgrade project. The big difference to major upgrades is that in my minor upgrade I don't ship all the files but only the changed ones.
I was wondering if the problem could come from components using dynamic file linking. As far as I could read, with dynamic file linking a random file will be chosen as the key file - and of course, as I only ship a few files with my minor upgrade, chances are high the file isn't there in the upgrade, so the chosen key file might be a different one.
Am I right that this is the cause of my trouble? Would there be any solution to it except for always shipping major upgrades with all files included? Unfortunately I can't get rid of dynamic file linking for my project.
As documented below, dynamic file linking has several limitations. But I am not sure if this would be the root cause for your problem.
If the prompt for original file name during installation is shown on all machines, then it could be something to do with the way you designed your MSI and minor updates. Probably directory paths to the old MSI are getting altered by your minor update.
If it happens only on particular machine, then your cached original MSI is missing for some reason on that machine (C:\Windows\Installer)
Hi Varaprasad,
thank you for your response.
The issue occured on all machines.
In the meantime, because I couldn't fix the issue, I just changed my update to a major upgrade. In order to be able to ship only the changed items, I create a backup of the program folder at the beginning of the installation and restore it after the RemoveExistingProducts action. It's not the ideal way but it seems to work well.
You can try and use the "Previous Package" setting which is found under the Build Tab in releases.
Using this will cause Installshield to attempt to make file keys consistent across your releases. In addition it will try and match the component GUID's as these are changed each time you build with dynamic file linking which breaks Minor Upgrade rules.
In the meantime I found the reason for my problem.
I had set REINSTALLMODE=vamus and REINSTALL=ALL and created a Setup.exe instead of plain MSI. It appears with a Setup.exe while REINSTALLMODE setting is ignored (due to InstallShield's Setup.ini overriding it), REINSTALL=ALL will simply break the uninstallation although according to the logfile Setup.exe is calling the MSI with the same parameter, so even if I don't set it it's still there.
I don't know why this is the case but removing the REINSTALL property solved the issue.

Georgina Lark
- Course: Mathematics BSc
Why did you choose to study mathematics?
Mathematics is one of the only subjects where I have felt challenged and this became more enjoyable and fulfilling as I progressed through school into A-Levels.
I couldn't imagine not studying it at a higher level and this decision was made easier by the promising graduate prospects a mathematics degree would give me.
What attracted you to the University of Leeds?
I felt very welcome at the University when I visited on one of the Open Days. I liked the fact it was a campus university, meaning everything was close and it was only a ten minute walk from the city centre too.
Did you visit us on an Open Day? Did you find the Open Day helpful in making your decision?
Yes. Everyone I spoke to on the Open Day (students and staff) felt very happy to be there, especially as they were helping prospective students make their decision.
What do you enjoy the most about your course?
I enjoy being a part of the School of Mathematics. Most of the staff offices are based here and many students spend their study time in the communal areas so it easy to have group study sessions between lectures and tutorials.
The lecturers are friendly and more than happy to help students whenever it is needed, making the School of Mathematics a warm and inviting place to be.
How would you describe student life at Leeds?
Life as a student in Leeds is exactly what I was expecting from living in a city. There is an endless number of things to do and this is not just limited to clubs and bars in the city.
The University itself offers many opportunities to learn and explore new things and places and a lot of this is done through the societies.
Are you involved in any clubs or societies?
In my first year I joined the table tennis and mountaineering societies. With mountaineering I was able to explore the local (and not so local) climbing centres which allowed me to see more of Leeds.
With table tennis I joined the University team as soon as I had the chance and was able to compete and represent the University.
In my second year I joined the kayaking society and became the president of the table tennis society which has essentially given me a year's worth of work experience which has improved my graduate prospects greatly and if I could do it again I would.
I highly recommend joining at least one society during your time at Leeds!
What is Leeds as a city like?
Having grown up in a town I was worried that Leeds would be overwhelming. Having explored the city and its outskirts I found that there were similarities and from knowing the area well now it doesn't feel that big at all.
I currently live in Headingley which is popular with students and is also close to places like Meanwood and Kirkstall which have scenic areas to go for walks or runs if I'm ever feeling stressed.
What advice would you give to someone thinking of applying to the School of Mathematics?
To get as involved as you can within the School of Mathematics. I am currently a student ambassador and this has allowed me to encourage prospective students to follow a degree in mathematics.
This has also helped me with my public speaking and communication skills.
What are your plans for the future?
At the moment I am unsure where my mathematics degree will take me, but I know it will give me a good range of careers to go into.
For example, I have just secured a placement at Vauxhall. The University has an excellent careers centre so I hope to utilise this more as I move into my third year and start applying for graduate jobs.

Hezbollah and Company Wish Jews a Happy New Year
Jerusalem Online has the video. Sorry that some of it is in Hebrew and some is in Arabic, but the gist of it is that they're wishing Jews a Happy New Year and singing the NHL musical standard, "Hava Nagilah." If you like hockey, you'll recognize it.

We are on the way to Leo Season this week; it arrives on Friday, July 22. The Sun loves coming home to Leo and as a consequence infuses each day with its bright, shiny energy. But before we get there we need to navigate the last few days of Cancer Season which includes a potent Full Moon in Capricorn on Tuesday.
Mercury and Venus in Leo take turns this week triggering the Saturn-Neptune square, something with a very different feel compared to when both were in Cancer and crossed paths with Saturn and Neptune. This time Saturn in fiery Sagittarius receives the kisses from Mercury on Monday night and Venus on Wednesday. Saturn gently but firmly set boundaries for Mercury and Venus which is great for our love lives. Creative projects thrive under this influence too. Hey, we can still color within the lines and make art we really love!
The inconjuncts to Neptune in Pisces are a different story. Neptune-Mercury aspects are tricky at best and with the inconjunct between Leo and Pisces, stories can get more farfetched with each telling. Mercury is inconjunct Neptune on Tuesday shortly after the Full Moon. When Neptune starts whispering in Venus in Leo's ear, glamorous illusions blossom and flourish. You might want to take another look at your exciting new lover in cold, harsh daylight before taking the relationship to the next step. Venus will be inconjunct Neptune on Thursday.
Pluto in Capricorn steps up to interfere with Mercury and Venus later in the week. Here again both planets are inconjunct and Leo seldom deals well with Capricorn either. Highflying Leo does not always appreciate more straight-laced Capricorn. However Pluto in Capricorn will bring Mercury and Venus in Leo back into reality after their flirtation with Neptune earlier in the week. I doubt if Pluto will be gentle with us either. Mercury will be inconjunct Pluto on Friday and Venus's turn comes on Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday when the Moon is in Capricorn are the last days when earth and water signs will be in charge. After that we slowly but surely begin to feel the shift away from water to fire.
What the Capricorn Moon does is get the work week off to a good start. Capricorn has a keen understanding of prioritizing and we'll see that in action on Monday. A sextile to Neptune in Pisces makes it easier to remember to be polite and why good manners can ease tense situations. The Moon will conjoin Pluto during the early evening, and a trine to Jupiter in Virgo during the night breaks the tension before the Moon squares Uranus in Aries mid-morning on Tuesday.
Tuesday is the Full Moon in Capricorn and when we'll notice the role Mars in Scorpio plays on that lunation. Mars is sextile the Moon shortly before it is full. This is a very good time to observe how we really feel about people and situations because we may be called upon to decide whether or not to we need to eliminate them from our lives. The atmosphere will begin to ease Tuesday evening after the Moon enters cool, airy Aquarius.
Our interactions with friends and colleagues may be more convivial than usual Wednesday. The Aquarius Moon is sextile Saturn in Sagittarius and then opposes Venus in Leo during the afternoon. If you need to schedule staff meetings or perhaps a working lunch, Wednesday is a good day for that. Late evening the Moon will oppose Mercury in Leo, good for late night chats.
For the most part, on Thursday the Aquarius Moon will less comfortable. With the exception of a sextile to Aquarius's ruler, Uranus, in the late afternoon, the atmosphere will range from getting hung up over petty details in the morning (Moon inconjunct Jupiter in Virgo) to potential arguments in the evening (Moons square Mars in Scorpio). This is one of those days when cutting everyone some slack might be wise.
By the time we wake up Friday morning, the Sun will officially arrive in Leo and the Moon will have drifted into Pisces. The Pisces Moon will make no aspects until evening when she triggers the Saturn-Neptune by squaring Saturn first before conjoining Neptune. Tuning into our intuition is both easier and very helpful when the Moon is in sensitive Pisces, and doing so Friday should make the day run much more smoothly.
Depending on what we have planned for Saturday, the Pisces Moon can help or hinder. Right off hand it looks like a better day to run off and play than to work around the house. The fallback plan whenever the Moon is in Pisces is the way to go . . . that being to stay loose and be flexible.
Sunday brings the Aries Moon and with the Sun newly arrived in Leo, it ought to feel like we have an opportunity for a fresh start. With six planets in fire signs, we'll know for sure it's a whole different world out there. The Aries Moon will be trine the Leo Sun in the morning and Saturn in Sagittarius late in the evening. Soak up the warmth and enthusiasm!
We move from Yin to Yang this week, from Cancer's waters to Leo's fiery warmth. Earth and water are the dominate elements on Monday and by the following Sunday, fire is clearly in charge. While the energy is far less contentious than last week, we still have some interesting challenges to work through . . . the Full Moon in Capricorn being one of them. Be well and practice kindness.
Note: Timing is averaged for EDT to PDT.

Microsoft bragged Thursday about growth in its Windows Phone 7 (WP7) developer community one year after its birth, but immediately got blasted for not disclosing developer revenues.
Windows Phone now has 36,000 members who have paid $99 to join the community, although free WP7 tools have been downloaded 1.5 million times, Windows Phone Senior Director Brandon Watson wrote in a blog. Another 1,200 developers are being added every week, he said.
Watson also said there now 11,500 paid and free apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace, and he took a swipe at other app stores who he said inflate their numbers by including wallpaper apps or double count apps that appear in two languages.
"Our ecosystem generated 10,000 apps faster than anyone else, without padding the stats," Watson said.
Regarding developer revenues, Watson said nearly 7,500 are paid apps, while 1,100 generate developer revenue through advertising.
Admitting that "most developers we speak to are concerned with making money," he added that "many are telling us that they are seeing more revenue on our platform than competing platforms despite the fact we cannot yet match the sheer number of handsets being sold."
Windows Phone 7 devices have only been on sale about four months, he noted.
Without specific revenue numbers, a few registered developers criticized Watson's missive. "Hate to say it (and I appreciate the effort), but there is only one number that actually matters: REVENUE," wrote lstroud in a comment on the Microsoft blog. "You could talk about units sold to end users or paid apps downloaded.... If the revenue for developers does not come...the OS will die. The real question is how long do people continue to invest in the platform without revenue numbers."
Several developers also praised the WP7 developer tools and Watson's update, but one worried that Microsoft isn't moving fast enough with Windows Phone innovations and seems to be working at a slower pace than Microsoft is accustomed to using with products for enterprise users.
"It seems like Windows Phone is being handled much like other enterprise products are handled [with] yearly or half-yearly cycles," wrote usctrojan98. "Those just don't cut it in consumer-land. We need fast, frequent updates and we always are ready for changes, unlike enterprise. Please tell me/us that there is something to look forward to between [now] and the end of the year. Otherwise, I am pretty close to giving up on this exciting platform and go with the tried-and-tested iOS."
Watson said he's most excited that 40% of registered developers have published their apps, although he recognized another 60% have not.
(The number of apps, at 11,500, when compared with the number of registered developers, at 36,000, would indicate the registered developers who have published apps is less than 33% -- below the 40% that Watson claimed. Microsoft officials could be reached to explain the contradiction.)
Noting the 40-60 split on developers who have published or not, Watson added, "That's incredibly exciting when you consider the amount of creativity which is still forthcoming."

Teen Mom star Maci Bookout opens up about her reported "mystery illness." Learn about the excruciating condition she contracted and why women have a higher risk for being affected. Plus, The Doctors separate health facts from fiction. And, five items in your purse that could be making you fat!
Maci Bookout's Mystery Medical Condition
In a The Doctors exclusive, Teen Mom star Maci Bookout sets the record straight about her reported "mystery illness" that made national news. In August 2013, Maci suddenly developed severe stomach pain, fever, chills and body aches. She visited her doctor and was given an antibiotic shot and a steroid shot to treat her symptoms.
Shocking Baby News!
Over the next two days, however, her illness progressed and became increasingly painful. "I wasn't even able to eat an ice cube without vomiting," Maci says. "The only thing I could do was lay in bed. I was on my phone, and I started tweeting about how I just felt terrible and was in very serious pain, and the next thing that I know, it's all over the news that I have some 'mysterious illness.'"
Maci knew she needed to seek medical attention, before her symptoms worsened even more. "I couldn't wait any longer, because things were only getting worse, and it really was out of control," she says.
Maci was admitted to a hospital, where she underwent further screenings. She received several blood tests, one of which showed that her white blood cell count — crucial for fighting off infection — was highly elevated, despite the initial antibiotic she received two days prior. Doctors suspected she had appendicitis, but more testing was required to determine the cause of her debilitating pain. After undergoing a CT scan, Maci was finally given a diagnosis.
Maci reveals the excruciating condition that she says was far more painful than childbirth! And, hear how she was treated.
Learn how Maci's illness developed, and the potentially deadly side effect of not treating it thoroughly. Plus, see why women have a higher risk for contracting the condition.

California Assembly bans caffeine-laced beer drinks
on 15/07/11 at 11:55 amBooze News
The California Assembly moved Monday to prohibit the production and sale of beer laced with caffeine and join other states concerned the beverages are aimed at young people and make it easy to drink too much.
The ban was approved on a 43-24 vote. It passed the state Senate in April but that chamber must now reconsider changes made by the Assembly before the bill can be sent to the governor.
The bill, SB39, would ban the import, production, distribution or retail sale of beer and related alcoholic beverages that have caffeine added. At least six other states have passed similar bans.
The measure by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, targets beverages that have been banned on some college campuses after incidents of alcohol poisoning and blackouts among students.
The drinks are often fruit-flavored and marketed in ways that appeal to young people. Studies have found that they're often cheaper than energy drinks without alcohol, Padilla said after the vote.
"The added caffeine masks the effects of the high alcohol content, which can lead to binge drinking and dangerous behavior," he said.
Opponents of the bill noted that college students under 21 who drink alcohol are already breaking the law, and that Irish coffee combines alcohol and caffeine but no one is proposing a ban on that drink.

Eric Johnson
Grammy-winner Eric
Johnson is a solo guitarist most notably known for his song "Cliffs
of Dover" on
the 1990 release "Ah Via Musicom." He has
toured with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai on the highly successful G3 tour
that started in 1996.
On Johnson's recent
tour, we had the opportunity to interview him before his show at The
Paradise Rock Club.
Boston Beats: How did you get
into music?
Eric Johnson: I started
playing piano when I was really young because my parents pushed me into
that until I was 11 and then took up guitar because of all the rock music
going on and all the people you'd see and thought that was really cool. I
have loved it ever since. Since then, I've been immersed into all the
different players and kept exposing myself to different styles and
different music.
BB: Who are you currently
listening to?
EJ: I've been listening to Pat Methany, Miles Davis, Jet... all sorts of
BB: Who are your main
EJ: There are a lot players
out there who I've found influential such as Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery,
Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Reed, John McLaughlin, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.
There's a lot of different ones.
Tell us about your style.
EJ: I like to take different
people's styles and mix them all together and create my own. I'll take
somebody's guitar tone and use that with somebody else's technique and
somebody else's choice of lines to put it all together to make your own
style. It's impossible to be totally original so you just have to find a
different way to amalgamate all the different stuff together to make your
own thing.
BB: To
those who follow your music, it's common knowledge that you're a real perfectionist when it comes
to being in the studio and have been known to spend years on putting an
album together. What is your
recording process?
EJ: It's been a realization
now that my best stuff comes out when I'm in good shape practicing and get
everything down on the first, second or third take. I finally realize
there's a certain spirit energy with that. When doing things over and over
again, there is a certain calculation of the mind and it is a different
effect and vibe. I'm slowly trying to get back to performing more in the
studio and getting more of a vibe.
BB: Do you prefer to play live
or in the studio?
EJ: Actually, I like them
both. They both can be a challenge to be in the moment and try to get your
best performance. They are different. I suppose sometimes playing live is
a little more fun because you have the crowd to help give you energy.
BB: What do you think
makes a good show?
EJ: Getting out of yourself
and forgetting about yourself and just getting into the music and feeling
it. When you feel the rhythm and just let go and let things just happen
naturally - usually the magic will happen then. It's when you go on stage
pre-planned and your clinching with your own agenda that you're really
BB: What's the best
show you've seen?
EJ: I remember seeing Peter
Gabriel back in the early 80s - that was really an incredible show. I also
saw Alison Krauss a couple years ago and that would rank up there as well.
BB: Do you have any pre/ post
show rituals?
EJ: I just try to stay
centered. Try to practice a little bit and warm up and get into that frame
of mind where you're not stressing, worrying, planning or getting too
calculated about what you expect. I like to just let go and get focused.
BB: Do you play the same set
list every night?
EJ: My set list is pretty
close to the previous night's set. We switch out songs every now and then
and add a few extra songs so we can change it up a little bit each night.
I would say 85% of the time, it's the same.
BB: Tell us about your
audience. Who attends an Eric Johnson show?
EJ: It's pretty varied. For
instance, on this tour when I played at the Eclipse Theater in Vermont, we
had people between 8 - 10 years old up to their 60s.
BB: What are your favorite
types of places to perform?
EJ: I enjoy playing at old
wooden theaters. They have a lot of history and a real vibe. Those seem to
be our best places to play although I'm pretty open-minded to play
anywhere as long as it's presented decently.
What do you think of the current music scene?
EJ: I think there's a lot of
good stuff out there. There will always be good quality... sometimes,
you need to wade through it and find it. I think the quality will go up
actually because all the electronic media and people being available to
compete both in film and music with anybody who has a high stature and
huge company. There's going to be an age or accessibility opportunity for
other people to compete and more of a priority put on the integrity and
quality. I think there's a less festive hold-out that might be challenging, so you have all the radio/ media conglomerates taking over and having
this big "cartel thing" where they stipulate all these rules/ regulations
that create a cookie-cutter type of thing. But within that you still find
quality and that's great but it's a bit unfortunate that if it doesn't fit
the mold, it gets thrown out with no questions asked. Maybe the days are
numbered with that because people will be able to think for
themselves more easily with the electronic media becoming stronger and
BB: Your most recent album,
"Souvenir," was released solely on the internet. How do you see the
internet playing a role in the music industry?
EJ: "Souvenir" wasn't a
regular record and was just something for the fans so I didn't want to
give people the idea it was a regular record. At this point, I'll still
release albums with a record label in tandem with the internet. In the
future, I think the balance will lean over towards the electronic media. I
think it's pretty obvious that's where it's all going with Rhapsody.com,
Ibook and Apple.com. It seems to me it's just a matter of time when
there's a major transfer.
BB: Being known primarily as
an instrumentalist, what is your opinion on instrumental guitar today? Is
"shred" dead?
EJ: I think the most
important thing is that they have something to say musically and that
almost always has to do with the song you write or the composition or the
music or the way you layer/ orchestrate the parts and that they're
meaningful and have an impact. If you do it in a more refreshing/
re-invented way, then it's even better. Anything that doesn't quite go
that direction, it's going to be static and sound dated. Because
everybody's heard blistering electric guitar as it has been done in the
format for 35 years for the most part, it's not really going to turn heads
as much. There's really two options: take the course of jazz music where
you have a lot of improvisation (and that's the whole heartbeat of jazz) -
but within the framework, you have players that are reinventing the whole
effect and being tasty and thinking musically. That's one option that be
can used in progressive music which is not really used as much. The other
option, because people are so burnt out on
electric guitar (and understandably so), they just put it in the back of
the mix as a songwriting tool which is where that is right now. I don't
think too many people are interested in hearing someone go crazy on the
guitar unless it was someone who was really re-inventive and had something
strong musically to say.
You've had great success to date: from being a session player to a
Grammy-winning solo artist to being named one of the
50 greatest guitarists of all time. What keeps you motivated?
EJ: It's the dream of
trying to find little pockets of sound on the guitar that will be, if not
really fresh or re-inventive, at least musically pleasing and interesting
and searching for that. It doesn't necessarily come for free - you have to
work at it from both ends: one end is not working at it and letting it
happen, and the other end is working hard at it. In other words, becoming
the best musician you can to avail yourself to be at the doorstep when it
does happen. That's pretty crucial to me - anything short of that, I'll
just be rehashing "Cliffs Of Dover" and I can't get surprised if people
aren't freaking out. Why should they? They've heard it. It's my
responsibility, initially, to bring something to the table that's
BB: In
an age where so many define success as having big houses and
fast cars, how do you define success?
EJ: People think that's what
it's about because that vision is still the forum and they are not
necessarily living in that situation. If they live in that situation,
they'll realize that's just not what it's about. There's nothing
fulfilling about that. The more money you have, the more money you want;
the more stuff you have, the more maintenance you have - there's nothing
fulfilling about it. There's a lot of bands that chase records deals and
when they get the deal, they think their problems are solved - but they
have a whole new set of problems. There's nothing different - you're just
switching the problems. Success is being able trying to do what you want
to do and try to at least make a living at it and get by. You can always
shoot for the stars but you have to count your blessings if you're at
least able to get by, do well, do what you want to do and maybe be able to
make somebody happy along the way. That's success.
BB: What advice would you have
for aspiring musicians?
EJ: I can only say what I'm
trying to do which is just try to get into your intuitive nature of what
speaks to you musically. If you just learn the book and study the radio,
you're just going to be working out of your mind and it won't have the
same depth or impact when people hear it. So if you try to develop that
intuitive sense of music, you're seeking mechanism will try to find things
that will respond on that frequency. I think that's the frequency that
everybody responds to in the more sublime sense - it's good to get into
that thing.

Friday, 11 September 2020 09:01 AM EDT
BERLIN (AP) — Berlin's Justice Ministry has approved a request from Moscow for legal assistance in the investigation of the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and has tasked state prosecutors with working with Russian authorities, officials said Friday.
Berlin state prosecutors said in a tweet that their office had been commissioned to provide legal assistance to Russia and information on Navalny's state of health, "subject to his consent."
The office said it would provide no further information on the request at this time.
Navalny, the most visible opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was flown to Germany two days after falling ill on Aug. 20 on a domestic flight in Russia. German chemical weapons experts have determined that the 44-year-old was poisoned with a Soviet-era nerve agent, prompting Berlin to demand that Russia investigate the case.
He was kept in an induced coma for more than a week as he was treated with an antidote, before hospital officials said Monday his condition had improved enough for him to be brought out of it.
The hospital had no comment Friday on his condition, but doctors have not ruled out long-term effects of the poisoning.
The Kremlin has bristled at calls from Chancellor Angela Merkel and other world leaders for Russia has to answer questions in the case, denying any official involvement and accusing the West of trying to smear Moscow.
Russian authorities have prodded Germany to share the evidence that led them to conclude "without doubt" that Navalny was poisoned with a military nerve agent from the Novichok group, the same class of Soviet-era agent that British authorities said was used on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, England, in 2018.
Germany's Defense Ministry has said the data about Navalny has already been provided to the Hague-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, of which Russia is a member.
Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said Friday the agency was best equipped to handle an issue that was "not a bilateral German-Russian problem."
"This is about a crime that took place in Russia with a chemical nerve agent that is internationally prohibited — the OPCW is the logical point of contact," he told reporters.
On Wednesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry invited German Ambassador Geza Andreas von Geyr to reaffirm Moscow's demand for Germany to provide Russian authorities with the medical data, including biological materials, the results of samples and tests to allow Russian experts to study and check them. Russian doctors previously said they had found no sign of Navalny's poisoning.
The move to task Berlin prosecutors to work with Russian investigators came a week after Russia's request for assistance was received by the Berlin state Justice Ministry.
Separately, Seibert denied reports that Germany had received a Russian request for permission to send investigators to interview Navalny.

Ross Ships Double Planetary Mixer & Discharge System
Charles Ross & Son Company recently completed a new design variation of the Double Planetary Mixer and Follower Plate Discharge System.
The Double Planetary is typically used for the mixing and dispersion of viscous materials. The Follower Plate Discharge System is then used to press viscous non-flowing materials from the planetary mixer mixing vessel after the mixing cycle is completed.
The new design combines the Double Planetary with the Follower Plate Discharge System on a common base. This configuration permits the easy movement of the mix can to the discharge platen, after completion of the mixing cycle. In addition, the common base is elevated to allow for discharge to subsequent processing equipment or directly to packaging containers. The two machines can be customized to meet a variety of process requirements including vacuum operation, jacketing of the mix can and discharge platen, metering systems, etc. Both are available in a wide range of sizes from 1- pint Laboratory to 750 gallon Production models.
Mixers and Discharge Systems are available for no-charge evaluation in the Ross Test & Development Center or for in plant trial rentals. For additional information contact Ross at 1-631-234-0500 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

The Easy Way to Stop Wasting so Much Time
The Entrepreneur Insider network is an online community where the most thoughtful and influential people in America's startup scene contribute answers to timely questions about entrepreneurship and careers. Today's answer to the question "What's something you wish you knew before starting your business?" is written by Greg Sewitz, cofounder of Exo.
There are so many variables that play into starting a business that to optimize them all is essentially impossible. While starting Exo over the past year, I learned that doing too much usually means nothing gets done, and it definitely means nothing gets done well. I wish I had known to prioritize the decisions that needed to be made immediately, and to put off the decisions that could wait.
When things are first getting off the ground, there's so much excitement with each new decision that you often forget you're literally making hundreds of decisions a day. It's tiring, even if you don't realize it. What's worse, most of the decisions don't even matter. You end up spending too much time debating the wording of a social media post and not enough on the more important factors that can actually impact your business.
See also: The Real Reason so Many Businesses Fail
Early on, we had the idea to launch a blog centered around themes relevant to our core customers (health and nutrition, sustainability, food issues, etc.). I was really excited about it—so excited that I decided to pre-write a few entries so we wouldn't have to worry about them later. I spent the better part of a week deciding what to write about. I ended up writing enough content to last us months, and then kept changing things—all to maybe save myself some time in the distant future.
Putting off fairly easy decisions may sound like bad advice at first—and as someone who hates procrastination, the idea of delaying something when you could just cross it off the list seems wrong. But they tax more of your mental bandwidth than the sum of their parts. I am not saying to do less—on the contrary. As I've become better at prioritizing specific problems, I actually spend more time and do more work on each. The point is that there are always going to be too many things for you to do, and it's up to you to prioritize them in a way that reflects their impact.
Greg is the co-founder of Exo. He has previously worked at the Exploratorium Museum in San Francisco, assisting in the design of exhibits on climate change and resource depletion. Prior to Exo, he had plans to travel to India to teach neuroscience to Tibetan monks. He graduated from Brown University with a degree in Cognitive Neuroscience.

It might be that you want to, or have tried, sex or sexual activity. Sex is one of the most intimate things we can do with another person. Sexual activity takes many forms and, to put it mildly, it is a complicated part of human relationships.
If someone makes you feel obligated or forced to do something you don't want to, you may be experiencing 'coercion'. By definition, sexual coercion is 'the act of using pressure, alcohol or drugs, or force to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will' and includes 'persistent attempts to have sexual contact with someone who has already refused'.
You should NEVER feel under pressure to have sex. Read our page 'Sex without love'.

BI In the cloud
Traditionally Business Intelligence and data analytics systems were built on premise, installed on your internal servers.
With the rise and rise of cloud based services and storage, we're now entering a world where you can build your BI infrastructure without any capital investment in hardware. Cloud services, such as Microsoft's Azure, offer more scalability, performance and reliability than is usually available with on-premise solutions.
Is It Expensive?
With Cloud compute costs starting from under 50p (GBP) per hour, and global geo-redundant storage from under 3p (GBP) per GB, cloud data is not only here, it's very vost effective.
You only pay for what you use, so it's almost negligable to start off, then the costs only grow when you use it more. And you can turn it off at any time.
Is This 'Big Data'?
'Big Data' is a very popular phrase these days, and it means many differnet things to many different people. You could think of it as any of:
- 'All Data' - Storing everything, for ever. This gives you phenominal flexability to re-use historical data that you didn't think was relevant at the time.
- 'Unstructured Data' - Traditional data warehouses have focused on a specific data model, confirming data to a predefined structure so that it can be analysed effectively. Cloud services such as Hadoop and Data Lake allow you to take unstructured data (text, tweets, images, etc.) and perform complex analysis over it
- 'Lots of Data' - With the scalability of cloud services, you can scale your systems up to cope with petabytes of data, not the gigabytes or terrabytes that we're used to on prem
Does 'Cloud' mean 'Big Data'? No it doesn't. You can host a traditional 'On Prem' BI solution in the cloud, and gain benefit from the scalability, reduced infrastructure and sliding scale pricing model, without using any 'Big Data' solutions at all - if that suits your business.
What the cloud brings is the opportunity to expand and to make use of new technology to enhance what you already have. It's up to you which components you choose to implement.
Big Data / BI Hybrid
Microsoft Azure offers a huge range of functionality, each of which can be selected and enabled when needed throughout the life of a project. We can start off by building a more traditional data analytics and reporting solution, and can design it in such a way as to enable your data to be accessed by any number of 'big data' tools in the future. You may not need a Big Data solution now, but it's highly likely that you will in the future. Preparing the ground work for it now will significantly simplify any future adoption and reduce future costs.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Azure Machine Learning offers a very powerful mechanism to use artificial intelligence and automated machine learning algorithms to understand your data and determine patterns of behaviour, which can then be used to predict future behaviour.
Purple Frog can help design your BI solution to enable this functionality over your data, right now.
Scenario 1 - IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service)
- Free up space in your server room
- Scale up the size and performance of the new server on demand
- Zero capital infrastructure costs, all costs are now OpEx and allocated to a specific project
- Geo-redundant infrastructure for increased resilience.
Scenario 2 - PAAS (Platform as a Service)
Your company already has a legacy data warehouse, but it's 10 years old and no longer satisfies the reporting flexibility or power that your business now requires.
Using the existing solution design as a starting point, we would redesign and enhance the data model to expand the reporting scope and functionality.
We would take a parallel extract of the source data, alongside your exsting data warehouse, and import it into Azure Data Lake.
From here, we can populate a new data warehouse using Azure's SQL DW, a cloud hosted masively parallel procesing datawarehouse engine.
The SQL DW can be queried in the same way as your existing on-prem solution, and can also be used to drive web based, mobile/tablet friendly reporting and dashboards for your remote workforce.
- Revised data model with more power
- Runs in parallel with yoru existing solution for ease of transition
- Mobile/Tablet friendly reporting for remote workforce
- Opens up the power of Azure for the next phase of your business
Scenario 3 - Real Time
A retail organisation has traditionally used an overnight load for their data warehouse, and now wants more real-time data as well as more insight into customer behaviour.
If required, the existing Data Warehouse can remain as it is, without any risk or changes to it. Retail transactions can be sent up to the cloud services, in real time. These are stored in Azure Data Lake, with a full history.
As they're received by Azure, they can be monitored in real time to detect any anomolies or spikes in the data patterns, raising alerts to be investigated and populating real-time performance and exception dashboards.
Data Lake Analytics can then be used to perform complex ad-hoc 'big data' analysis of trending or behaviour that falls outside of the scope of the legacy data warehouse reporting.
Machine Learning can also be brought in, to perform complex basket analysis of the data, to provide the 'Customers who bought this, also bought this' functionality that you see on many retail websites.
- 'All Data' stored forever
- Real-time monitoring
- Ad-hoc complex analysis
- Machine Learning
Is this for You?
There are of course an unlimited set of scenarios, and your organisation will need its own unique set of functionality that suits your requirements.
Purple Frog will help guide you through this process, and bring the power of the cloud to your data.

Chest Transporter Mod 1.12.2, 1.11.2 (CARRY YOUR CHESTS)By staff ❘ August 4, 2017 ❘ 8,596 views
Chest Transporter Mod 1.12.2, 1.11.2 for Minecraft adds a tool with the same name that allows players to carry their chests around without having to take out all the items to place them into a new chest.
All you have to do is to use the ChestTransporter and right-click into that chest. Now the chest and all items inside are available for transportation to anywhere you want, with just 01 slots of inventory occupied.
ChestTransporter also has some drawbacks. You cannot use Chest Transporter to transport Wooden Double Chest, as only 1 chest can be fitted in the Transporter at a time. There is a small trick for this: use ChestTransporter on a chest, then put the whole thing into another chest, and pick it up with another Chest Transporter. This trick allows you to carry multiple items within one item!
ChestTransporter can also carry Mob Spawner while still maintain its function. You can use it to carry rare spawners like blaze or cave spider to build Mob Grinder for drops and EXP farming.
ChestTransporter Mod is compatible with many chest mods such as Multi Page Chest, Iron Chest, Compact Storage, Iron Chest Minecarts, Storage Drawers and Extra Carts.
Crafting Recipe:
This mod now supports Minecraft version: 1.11.2, 1.10.2.
How to Install Chest Transporter Mod 1.12.2, 1.11.2 with Forge Modloader
- Download Forge Installer, ChestTransporter.jar file.
- Right click Forge Installer, Run as Administrator and press OK to install Forge.
- Open Start on Desktop.
- Open Run.
- Type %appdata% into Run and press enter.
- Go to Roaming/.minecraft/mods
- Put the mod you want to install into mods folder and then run Minecraft.

A Funny Mothers Day Poem
A Favorite of Mine
I ran across this poem in one of my old scrapbooks in the attic. I have always enjoyed good humorous poetry, and I like it when I run across a poem I haven't read in years. It brings back a lot of good memories.
There are so many ways a child pronounces the word mother. I've heard several pronunciations like: mudda, maather, maadah, mothar... I'm sure you've heard a few as well. The last poem I've chosen is "With Mother In The Garden". The word mother is written and pronounced as muvver.
Thank You Mom for Having Me
Thank you mom for having me
So I can grow up free,
To play in mud
To play with Bud
Who fetches sticks for me.
To play my sports
All kinds, All sorts.
To give you clothes to wash,
To keep me clean
To keep me lean
Oh, wait,
I've another bug to squash!
D. Alsup
A Few More Favorites
I just couldn't stop with one funny mothers day poem. Since Mothers Day is upon us these poems are great to share with the mother or mothers' in your life. These poems can be used as readings or memorized pieces at any event honoring mothers.
Here are a few other poems I'm sure you will enjoy.
A New Intention
My mother seems to always know
When I am good or bad,-
I see it in her face each hour
By happy look or sad;
I have a new intention now
Which I'll try to keep each day
And then, instead of worried brow,
She'll wear a smile always!
The Smartest Person!
My mother is the smartest person
You could ever see;
She can answer any question
That sure will puzzle me!
Talk about your "information."
Mother's surely got her share;
She can answer "how" and "when"
"What and "why" and "where!"
There never is a single question
But she knows the way
It should be correctly answered
And she's right, I say!
Gee! You've got to hand it to her,-
Knows most everything "by heart",-
She is sweet and kind and good
And she's awful smart!
With Mother in the Garden
When muvver's in the garden,
'At's where I like to be,
'Cause then I git to help her
A-pickin' things you see.
I help her with the cabbage
An' she don't care at all
When I play bowlin' alley
With cabbage fer a ball.
An' when I count the beanses
She never had to look,
But always knows exac'ly
How many she must cook.
Sometimes we digs b'tatoes
An' when I throw too fur
An' miss it where's the basket
She laughs at me an' her.
She laughs , too, when I holler
'Bount bein' skeered o' toads,
But I'm more scared o' lizards
'At jumps out 'long the roads.
An' muvver thinks it's funny
When I'm below a tree
Where apples keep a-dropping'
An' cannonballin' me.
But one time when tomatoes
Was ripe she didn't grin-
An' I'm not laughin' neither
Fer trouble I was in.
'Cause when she picked tomatoes,
An' piled 'em in her hat,
I falled right over backwards
An' sit down where they're at!

- Aust Prescr 2004;27:76-9
- 1 June 2004
- DOI: 10.18773/austprescr.2004.063
Ventavis (Schering)
Ampoules containing 20 microgram (10 microgram/mL) nebuliser solution
Approved indication: pulmonary hypertension
Australian Medicines Handbook section 6.7.3
Increased pressure in the pulmonary artery may have no obvious cause or it may be secondary to conditions such as thromboembolism and connective tissue diseases.1 It leads to signs of right-sided heart failure, such as peripheral oedema and liver enlargement.
Some secondary causes can be treated. For example, pulmonary artery hypertension due to chronic thromboembolism may respond to pulmonary thromboendarterectomy. Some patients with advanced disease may live long enough to receive a heart-lung transplant.
Patients with pulmonary hypertension may have an imbalance of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2. Giving an analogue of prostacyclin may therefore induce vasodilatation and reduce pressure in the pulmonary artery. Epoprostenol was approved for use in primary pulmonary hypertension in 2002, but it has to be given by continuous intravenous infusion. Treprostinil was approved in 2003, but requires continuous subcutaneous infusion. Iloprost is also an analogue of prostacyclin, but it can be given by inhalation.
Patients inhale a nebulised solution over 5-10 minutes. The serum concentration of iloprost peaks at the end of the inhalation but declines rapidly. Iloprost is extensively metabolised and none can be detected an hour after the inhalation. Some patients will need to take a dose nine times a day. Most of the metabolites are excreted in the urine, so clearance can be reduced by renal and hepatic dysfunction.
A randomised-controlled trial compared iloprost with an inhaled placebo in 203 patients with primary or secondary pulmonary hypertension. After 12 weeks, function had improved in 16.8% of the patients given iloprost, but only in 4.9% of those given a placebo.2
Another study enrolled 31 patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and followed them for a year. The mean pulmonary artery pressure was reduced in the 24 people who completed the study. This was associated with an increased exercise capacity.3
While dyspnoea improves with iloprost, coughing is common in the first weeks of treatment. Patients may also complain of flushing and pain in the jaw. Other common adverse effects are hypotension, syncope, trismus and headache.
Although iloprost is significantly better than placebo the absolute benefits are limited. In the placebo-controlled study patients given iloprost for 12 weeks were able to walk an extra 36.4 metres in six minutes.2 Few of the patients with secondary pulmonary hypertension gained much benefit. Iloprost has been approved for secondary pulmonary hypertension for a strictly limited range of conditions.
Inhaled iloprost is likely to be cheaper than intravenous epoprostenol, but epoprostenol is proven to increase survival in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension. In contrast to the other prostacyclin analogues, iloprost is given intermittently. It is uncertain whether there could be a rebound in the pulmonary artery pressure between inhalations.
In addition to the prostacyclin analogues bosentan, an oral endothelin receptor antagonist, is also available to treat primary pulmonary hypertension. Comparative studies are therefore needed to determine the best medical therapy.

"Mobile Legends": Eudora's Skills and Abilities Guide
Cheeky Kid is a true-blue casual gamer. Whenever he's not watching anime or reading manga, chances are he's mindlessly playing games.
Who Is Eudora?
When it comes to lightning magic, no one comes close to Eudora's proficiency with it. During her years as an apprentice wizard, she demonstrated promise far greater than any other student or teacher. She is essentially the best manipulator of electricity and lightning in the world. And so, she decided to travel to the Land of Dawn in order to test her skills and abilities, and make them gleam even more.
In battle, Eudora is an extremely valuable asset. As a mage, she can deal unbelievable amounts of damage in a very short amount of time. She is capable of summoning lightning bolts one after another. And when her strikes reach the targets, it is almost always certain that they will be severely traumatized by the shocks of lightning—if they even manage to survive.
What This Guide Covers
This guide not only lists all of Eudora's skills and abilities, it also expands on each one of them and details some tips on how to use them effectively. It is now time for you to learn them all! Proceed to the battlefield and strike true like a thunderbolt as the Lightning Empress!
|Eudora's Skills and Abilities
Superconductor (Passive Skill)
Forked Lightning (1st Skill)
Electric Arrow (2nd Skill)
Thunderstruck (Ultimate Skill)
Superconductor (Passive Skill)
As the Lightning Sorceress, Eudora views everyone as sentient superconductors. No one is an exception when it comes to her electrical powers. As a result, every time she casts a spell, enemy forces receive the Superconductor effect, which produces various amplifying effects for her other electrical skills.
- Effect on Forked Lightning: Reduction in Magic Resistance for the Enemy
- Effect on Electric Arrow: Increased Duration for the Stun Debuff
- Effect on Thunderstruck: Increased Overall Damage for the Spell
Superconductor is the passive skill that gives all of Eudora's other skills various amplifying effects. It is important to know that each time Eudora casts a spell, this passive skill automatically triggers to turn enemies into superconductors. There is not much to nitpick about it as it is not a very complex skill. All you have to know is that it amplifies Eudora's other skills.
If you truly want to utilize this skill to its fullest potential, the only way to do it is to drastically reduce the cooldown rates of all of your skills. You can do so by purchasing cooldown reduction items and equipping cooldown reduction emblems. Note that the maximum cooldown reduction you can receive from items is capped at 40%.
Forked Lightning (1st Skill)
Eudora has the ability to bend lightning according to her will. As such, she can summon forth a lightning bolt that is capable of branching and hitting multiple enemies at the same time. This skill deals 400 [+230% Total Magic Power] magical damage to the enemies in a cone-shaped area right in front of her. If the enemies are currently marked by Eudora's Superconductor effect, their magic resistance decreases by 15 points as well.
Read More From Levelskip
- Level 1: 400 Base Damage, 8 Seconds Cooldown, 80 Mana Consumption
- Level 2: 450 Base Damage, 8 Seconds Cooldown, 90 Mana Consumption
- Level 3: 500 Base Damage, 7 Seconds Cooldown, 100 Mana Consumption
- Level 4: 550 Base Damage, 7 Seconds Cooldown, 110 Mana Consumption
- Level 5: 600 Base Damage, 6 Seconds Cooldown, 120 Mana Consumption
- Level 6: 650 Base Damage, 6 Seconds Cooldown, 130 Mana Consumption
Forked Lightning is Eudora's main poke and damage skill. It does not only deal high magical damage, it also has a short cooldown. As a result, you can spam this skill as much as you want—so long as your mana pool can keep up with your magical rampage.
What's good about Forked Lightning is that the Superconductor effect significantly reduces the magic resistance stat of the enemies. That means your succeeding magic attacks will have higher damage! And since this skill forks and hits multiple enemies, it is quite a good skill to use against hordes of minions and enemy heroes.
Always use this skill first, then Electric Arrow, and then Thunderstruck! Rinse and repeat until you defeat all of the enemies!
Electric Arrow (2nd Skill)
As wild as the lightning bolts in the sky, Eudora can carry out unexpected shock attacks with utter ease. With a lightning bolt on her hand, she can freely throw it towards the enemy to severely damage and stun them. This skill deals 280 [+105% Total Magic Power] magical damage and stuns the enemy for 0.75 second. If the enemy is currently marked by Eudora's Superconductor effect, the stun duration increases by another 0.75 second.
- Level 1: 280 Base Damage, 12 Seconds Cooldown, 90 Mana Consumption
- Level 2: 300 Base Damage, 11 Seconds Cooldown, 100 Mana Consumption
- Level 3: 320 Base Damage, 10 Seconds Cooldown, 110 Mana Consumption
- Level 4: 340 Base Damage, 9 Seconds Cooldown, 120 Mana Consumption
- Level 5: 360 Base Damage, 8 Seconds Cooldown, 130 Mana Consumption
- Level 6: 380 Base Damage, 7 Seconds Cooldown, 140 Mana Consumption
Electric Arrow is Eudora's all-essential skill when it comes to enemy hero encounters and team clashes. Aside from dealing some minor damage, it also stuns the enemy. And with the Superconductor effect in play, the stun duration doubles. That is why, at all times, you should use another skill first (like Forked Lightning) before using this skill for you to be able to double the stun duration on the enemy.
Use this skill in conjunction with all your other skills for maximum damage potential. Whether you're chasing an enemy hero or trying to escape from one, this skill can help you snag a kill or assist you in making a successful getaway.
Thunderstruck (Ultimate Skill)
At the apex of Eudora's massive electrical prowess, she can summon a deadly lightning storm to rain upon her enemies. This skill deals 600 [+270% Total Magic Power] magical damage on a single target and 400 [+180% Total Magic Power] magical damage on the enemies surrounding the target. If the enemies are currently marked by Eudora's Superconductor effect, the damage dealt by this skill increases by 15%.
- Level 1: 600 Target Damage, 400 Diffuse Damage, 34 Seconds Cooldown, 130 Mana Consumption
- Level 2: 880 Target Damage, 550 Diffuse Damage, 30 Seconds Cooldown,160 Mana Consumption
- Level 3: 1190 Target Damage, 700 Diffuse Damage, 26 Seconds Cooldown, 190 Mana Consumption
Thunderstruck is one of the most powerful damage skills in the game! At its peak, it can deal insane amounts of damage. While it only deals the most damage on the targeted hero, its diffuse damage is also nothing to sneer at. With the Superconductor effect, this skill becomes even deadlier!
This is a must-use skill during team clashes! If timed right, you can severely damage or even kill enemy heroes with almost no effort exerted on your part. You just have to remember that for you to use Thunderstruck at its maximum potential, you have to unleash all of your other skills first to mark the enemies with the Superconductor effect, then wither their HP down before the decisive blow.

Kikagaku Moyo
Guruguru Brain
Set to feature on a new album titled House In The Tall Grass, by a band called Kikagaku Moyo, 'Kogarashi' (that's the 'Autumn Wind', before you hit google translate) is just the ticket you need for a trip to the dreamy inner realms of far-eastern psychedelia.
Here you'll find influence from Indian raga's, Krautrock, country folk and more, but a devotion to none of them. Think of Kikagaku Moyo as a free, untainted and loose being, bridging gaps between the netherworld and the outer cosmos, armed with little else but a sitar, a couple of maracas and the soundtrack to Paris Texas.
These chilly autumnal soundscapes conjure levels of poignant scenic imagery that sit firmly on par with those great American deserts on just a first listen. Do not miss their new record, due May 13 via Guruguru Brain. The band will tour the UK in May on the below dates.
May 2016 live dates
25 Bristol, UK Cube
26 London, UK, Fields Brewhouse
27 Manchester, UK, Star and Garter
28 Glasgow, Scotland, Nice'nSleazys
29 Leeds, UK, Karma Fest
30 Brighton UK, Bleach
23 Paris, FR, Paris Fashion Week w/Issey Miyake

Photo booths are mainstays in birthday parties, weddings, reunions, corporate gatherings, and many other events. Guests patiently await their turn, not minding the long lines so that they can bring home a unique photo souvenir. From traditional booths that could print out low-resolution photos, we now enjoy booths equipped will all sorts of fun props and paraphernalia. We get to take high-resolution photos while garbed in funny hats all crazy costumes.
You can make your next family or company event the talk of the town by making the most of the latest offers from service providers. Look for the following features when you are scouting for a photo booth to rent for the occasion.
Photo canvas displayed on a mini ease
A printed mini photo canvas featuring retro and other fun filters can entice more guests to line up and await their turn on the photo booth. There is nothing more inviting than a printed photo canvas displayed on an easel. You can be sure the guests will not leave the event without taking the opportunity to get their own prints. They can channel every celebrity they want, pose like supermodels, or maybe just take a regular groupie with everyone flashing their biggest smile. It only takes three minutes to print out a photo canvas. The best booth service providers offer nothing less than high quality printing methods that produce works of art your guests will be happy to bring home with them.
Cool, one-of-a-king flipbooks
The alternative to photo canvas on display is a flipbook. This is a type of photo souvenir that allows guests to act out a series of scenes. The photos are compiled into a book that showcases the storyline or theme. These flipbooks are fun souvenirs, and can serve later as conversation starters. More conservative folks, who do not necessarily want to parade the crazy lineup of photos taken inside the booth photo booth for sale finance have a keepsake to cherish at the least. This approach deviates from the traditional offer of a series of shots printed out in strips. The flipbook is a tangible output that effectively displays the guests' creative ideas.
Video messaging
Many wedding receptions now feature photo booths that allow guests to take pictures of themselves while wearing funny costumes and props. The most modern photo booths even take video messages for the newly married couple. The couple will have time to browse these digital souvenirs later after the rush of the reception is over and they have had time to breath. These days, when guests what to express their wishes they can opt to step inside the photo booth and record a video message instead of writing a note.
Booths equipped for "selfies"
These days, photo booths with facilities such as the "selfie" mirror are huge hits. Millenials cannot get enough of taking selfies. Even middle-aged individuals and children who have joined the bandwagon cannot seem to resist the chance of taking photos of themselves, especially when they are all made up and wearing their best. The Selfie Mirror is 21st century photo booth technology that gives the subject just enough time so strike a pose and takes the photo automatically. Aside from graphics and printing options, some booths even allow for instant sharing of the selfies or groupies taken on social media platforms.

By Peter Lyle DeHaan, Ph.D.
Telephone triage is a great solution that meets the healthcare needs of many patients. However, though I write about telephone triage, I have no first-hand experience. Alas, there are no telephone triage services available to me—or at least none that I'm aware of. I wish there were.
It may shock you to know I don't have a primary care physician. But it's not for a lack of trying. Here's the short version: Years ago I called my doctor's office to make an appointment when I was down with a cold. The doctor wouldn't see me because I hadn't recently seen him when I was well. When I was better I called to schedule an annual check-up. They declined. My paper records were in storage and apparently it was too much hassle to retrieve them. I suggested they treat me as a new patient, but my doctor wasn't accepting new patients. Apparently he had fired me. That was ten years ago. I haven't had a primary care physician since.
Over the past five years, I've required medical attention four times. Once was a trip to the ER for stitches. The other three times were to urgent care to snag a prescription for antibiotics. On my last visit they encouraged me to find a primary care physician. I agreed. After recovering, I went online searching for a conveniently-located doctor.
I ended up at the website of a large healthcare provider. I entered my ZIP code and asked for doctors nearby. The closest match was .06 miles away. That's 317 feet, but this doctor was actually over twenty miles away a thirty-five-minute drive. I checked the next fifteen providers, all of whom were reported to be within five miles. None were. I gave up.
I wish I could call a physician locator service, but there aren't any in my area, at least none that I know of.
I'm convinced healthcare call centers can fill a vital need in the provision of healthcare services, both telephone triage, and doctor locator services. If only they were available in my area. Hopefully, the reality of what is will soon catch up with the potential of what can be. Until then I hope I don't get sick.

Ken from the Fang's Bites blog with your weekly Friday media links.
Because I have to be in several places at once today and my employee here won't shut up, I'm going to have to post the Black Friday Megalinks in two parts. So without further ado, I'll provide the Weekend Viewing Picks.
Plenty of college football and college basketball this weekend. But we'll go over the NFL first. After three blowouts on Thanksgiving, the NFL hopes the Week 13 action Sunday will be much closer. CBS has the doubleheader including the Patriots hosting Pittsburgh on WBZ and WPRI (of course WBCN on the radio). Fox has regional action and the NBC Sunday Night game is Chicago at Minnesota. Check out the entire schedule with coverage maps along with satellite TV and radio channel assignments in the NFL Viewing Picks.
This is essentially the final regular season weekend of college football. Last week, the Big Ten ended its regular season. Now it's time for the ACC, Big East, Mountain West, Notre Dame, Pac 10 and SEC to wrap up their seasons before next week's conference title games. Boston College hosts Maryland at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon (WCVB).To go over today's and tomorrow's games would make my head explode. So I highly recommend you go to the Black Friday Viewing Picks and the College Football Viewing Picks to review the action for today and tomorrow.
And there's plenty of college basketball action on the ESPN platforms over the weekend including the Las Vegas Invitational, the Old Spice Classic in Orlando and the 76 Classic in Anaheim.
With golf officially in Silly Season, the annual Skins Game is on ABC at 1 p.m. Saturday and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
HBO has Boxing After Dark Saturday night at 10.
Now to your links.
USA Today's Michael Hiestand previews HBO's new documentary, "Breaking the Huddle" which focuses on the integration of college football. I have a DVD of the doc and expect a review on Fang's Bites over the weekend.
Christopher Byrne of the Eye on Sports Media blog notes that CBS decided to use three announcing teams for its SEC action this holiday weekend instead of making Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson pull double duty like last year.
Todd Spangler from Multichannel News talks about the NFL Network's 3D test for Thursday's Oakland-San Diego game.
The Big Lead supposedly has the picture of the woman who was caught cheating on her husband in a Metrodome bathroom stall.
East and Mid-Atlantic
From the Boston Globe, Nancy Marrapese-Burrell writes that Celtics CEO Wyc Grousbeck will make an appearance on Comcast SportsNet New England tonight.
Bill Doyle of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette profiles WCVB sports anchor Mike Lynch who has emphasized high school sports in his more than 25 years with the station.
Newsday's Neil Best says the MLB Network is preparing for its launch which is fast approaching on New Year's Day. In his blog, Neil says ESPN is going to kick off the New Year with some silly stunts.
The New York Post's Justin Terranova asks five questions of TNT/YES analyst Mike Fratello.
Laura Nachman notices that the Philadelphia ABC affiliate is looking for a new sports reporter.
That will conclude the first part of the Megalinks. The second part including the South, Midwest, West and Canadian links will be coming tonight.

Happy note in my in-box this morning.
Please disregard that letter. It was denied because the lady I was speaking to marked to wrong answer-
So I spoke with a Dr. And and got it overturned. Your are approved and will be receiving another letter. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.
I opened this note from my physician's assistant in the midst of a thirty minute phone ordeal with Humana; I'd tried talking to two operators with Kentucky accents and neither one could find my account, even when I spelled my name with the military Alpha Bravo Chalie method.
I'd gone into this day prepared to be loving. Literally. I was carrying this quote around from activist Ruby Sales, who said, "I love everybody in my heart. And you can't make me hate you." I was going to remind myself, no matter what happened, that Humana might be an evil corporation, but the people making up Humana are basically good. Oh well. That's a nice thought.
And what was my take-away after the botched claim processing and the phone ordeal? Humana, I no longer think you are evil. You did, after all, approve my claim and I can continue taking Zinbryta. But from now on, I'm skipping talking to your basically good people and going straight to your website.
I am not yet an evolved human being who can withstand uncertainty…or being on hold.
