Lecture abstract:
What is the Logic of Fiction
Could logical skills help an aspiring novelist or a similar writer? This very question might seem ridiculous, but only as long as it is not realized that deductive logic is at bottom the science of thought experimentation and ampliative reasoning is but skillful questioning. An author is constantly facing the very concrete question: what to say next? In answering these questions, a novelist is telling us a story about her fictional world – not unlike a scientist, who is inquiring into the nature of the actual world.
Typically both are trying to answer an overall "big" question by means of a number of "small" questions, which for a scientist are typically experiments and observations. In both cases, the most important skill is in the strategic choice of these small questions.
In fiction, a second questioning process is also going on: reading. Reading is but a series of tacit questions put to the text in analogy to scientific observations conceived of as questions put to one's perceptible environment. A writer's choice of answers to her working questions is calculated to prompt new questions in the mind of the reader. Hence the answer to the question "what is the logic of fiction?" is: "logic, especially the logic of questions and answers."
Short biography of Jaakko Hintikka:
Jaakko Hintikka (born in 1929) is currently Professor of Philosophy at Boston University and during the academic year 2010-2011 he is Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies. He was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Helsinki from 1959 until 1970. He is the author or co-author of over 30 books and over 300 scholarly articles. Professor Hintikka has contributed to mathematical logic, philosophical logic, the philosophy of mathematics, epistemology, language theory, and the philosophy of science. His works have appeared in nine languages.
Hintikka is regarded as the founder of formal epistemic logic and of game semantics for logic. In recent decades, he has worked mainly on game-theoretical semantics, and on independence-friendly logic, known for its "branching quantifiers" which he believes do better justice to our intuitions about quantifiers than does conventional first-order logic. He has done important exegetical work on Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Wittgenstein, and C.S. Peirce. Hintikka's work can be seen as a continuation of analytic tendency in philosophy founded by Brentano and Peirce, advanced by Frege and Bertrand Russell, and continued by Carnap, Quine, and by Hintikka's teacher Georg Henrik von Wright.
In 2005 Jaakko Hintikka was awarded the Rolf Schock prize in logic and philosophy "for his pioneering contributions to the logical analysis of modal concepts, in particular the concepts of knowledge and belief". "The Philosophy of Jaakko Hintikka" was published in the Library of Living Philosophers in 2006.

Heating and Ac Repair and Maintenance.
The breaking down of a heater could be very disappointing and it leaves you wondering what could be the problem. This makes it necessary to contact a professional so that they can attend to the repairs. The repair of air conditioning and heaters has to be spot on, you cannot afford mistakes therefore the need to work with someone trained handle repairs.
The repair might be complex but that does not mean you have to pay someone all your life to come fix your heater for you every time it breaks down , you can learn how to repair it yourself. There could be a lot of reasons as to why your air conditioner is not working . The thermostat could not be working properly and in other cases motors could have failed. The different parts of the air conditioner have been structured to work in harmony to give the desired result and the breakdown of one means the desired result will not be achieved.
Since air conditioners are bound to come into contact with dust particles, sometimes there are evaporator clogging problems that are easily fixed with cleaning. Some problems with AC will require a unit part to be replaced and when it comes to this, it's important to ensure that you have quality parts from an authorized dealer. As much as AC unit are built to keep us comfortable when we want making them run continuously for days without turning them off for a bit might bring about an issue. This continuous run makes your coil get frozen .
Unbalanced circulation of air and operating without high refrigerant levels will make the coils freeze as well. If it's possible make a point of taking measures to prevent damage instead of incurring repair costs at all. Make a point of switching off your AC especially when you don't need it and find out ways of reducing the coil freeze. When you are purchasing an AC unit for the first time ensure that you buy a new unit as used could be more expensive in the long run.
Running occasional maintenance is not a bad idea as that way you will not have break downs and call repairs when it's too late. Heating services for your home or your office will be dependent on some factors including the utility bill and the comfort as well. Depending on where you are the choice of heating will be determined by what you can conveniently source. In case you are using heat pump services, the maintenance here should be regular as through that they will last longer.
Tips – Getting Started & Next Steps

In discussions over the One Palnet MBA cohort's trip to, St Michael's Mount the theme of creativity was often talked about, Cornwall is known for its art scene and the arts play a vital role in the life of the local community and in attracting visitors to the area. We were lucky enough to make contact with the Newlyn School of Art who kindly provided one of their artist tutors, Faye Dobinson, to give a talk to the cohort about how artists respond to place. We spend a huge amount of our week applying cognitive learning and group work to challenges in sustainability, so spending a day in an area of outstanding natural beauty seemed like time we could connect with our felt responses to place.
Faye, talked about how there is a growing movement in art that sees humans as living in a landscape they hadn't counted on. This landscape is a product of ideas, economics, urban, and spatial planning fuelled by an undercurrent of exploitation of natural resources. She asked us how we can rest easy in this landscape and how can we interrogate it? Faye described how she lets spaces unpack around her over time, as she gets to know different places and make artwork in them. One story she told us about was her and other artists moving into an industrial fish processing plant where planning to turn it into an arthouse cinema had been denied. This is Faye's description of making art in such a space:
"When cleaning one day behind a door I saw holes in a wall, those remaining from around where someone had removed a dartboard. I was captivated- I got plastic, and made an impression of all the holes, then transferred those holes onto and through board, then created a light box with that as the lid. That was a piece that featured in the exhibition at the space, It was titled 1483 misses and it had something celestial about it, though it actually spoke of a detail in the building remaining from when those working there would be on a break, talking, laughing, playing darts. It was an alternative viewpoint on the place- an intimate detail."
Faye Dobinson, 1483 Misses
Encountering the unexpected and engaging with the details of place in ways that help us re-imagine them could be seen in this work which after looking for long enough reveals itself as a solar eclipse like a magic eye picture created through darts. After the artists had staged a show of their work planning was granted and the processing plant is now a thriving art house cinema.
The art-work brought out a response from the group of feeling intrigued and a curiosity in how works of art can change our perceptions of our surroundings. It felt like a live example of the process of spaces starting to speak to the artist and actions from the past leaving a trace in the present. The session provided a powerful metaphor for the impact of business and organisations.
Continued in part two….
The Newlyn School of art provides, painting courses in Cornwall, taught by many of the most respected artists working in Cornwall today. Newlyn is a famous artists colony, in 1900 there were 130 artists working there, an extra train had to be put on each year to take the hundreds of paintings up to the Royal Academy for the summer show. Many of the School's courses take place on the coastline between Newlyn and Land's End and Newlyn itself looks over to St Michael's Mount.

Parents! What would You do if you Found out Your child Masturbates?
I think it's safe to say most of us on this site started Masturbating in our teenage year. Your body is changing and sometimes parents aren't very good about giving the "Talk" so evidently we discover Masturbation. I personally wish I never did "discover" masturbation. The guilt I had prevented me from being confident in the church. I missed out on a lot of spiritual growth. I do wish my parents talked to me about Puberty and specifialy Masturbation, maybe I wouldn't have that issue at all and I would be a better person.
So my question to parents out there is, What woul you do if you found out one or more of your children masturbates. This does not include Pornography at all only Masturbation. Would you scorn them? If it was a boy, would the wife let the father handle it, vice versa if it was a girl who masturbates?
Would any of you parents out there take it as far as addiction recovery meetings? What if the child refuses?
the reason I want to know what parents would do is because I feel that if parents were more open about this topic, there would A LOT less people with Porn addictions because they turn to the Internet for information. I heard a good quote that said if they don't learn it from Parents they will learn it from friends. I wouldve liked to have learned about Puberty and Sex from my parents. So my last question is How far do you Parents go when talking about Sex and Masturbation?
What can parents really do?
"Personally, I think it's unlikely that you "wouldn't have that issue at all" and you "would be a better person" if your parents talked to you about masturbation. What exactly would they have told you that would have prevented you from becoming addicted to it?
My dad had trouble with masturbation, and in an attempt to inoculate the family against the disease, he began talking to all of us boys about masturbation when we were quite young. Our family has been quite open and honest about this topic for as long as I can remember, but that didn't prevent me or my 3 brothers from becoming addicted (all of us).
However, what it HAS done is made us all very honest, open people. Our wives know about our struggles, and they don't hate or resent us for it. They help us and work with us. Finally, I believe that honesty and openness in my family has helped me to overcome the problem eventually, after MANY years. But, unfortunately, it did not PREVENT the problem.
You cannot PREVENT your children from making mistakes. They WILL make mistakes. Big ones. Even Nephi did not say, "We talk of Christ, we preach of Christ...so that our children will never sin." He said, "that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." In other words, Nephi knew "our children" would sin. So, we talk of Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, so that our children may know how to repent and gain forgiveness and freedom from their sins.
In other words, the focus should not be on, "Son, don't sin! Let me tell you about sin so that you never do it." The focus should be, "Son, let me tell you that sin makes you sad and unhappy. Please avoid it. But when you do sin, know that I am here for you, and so is Jesus. HE loves you, and HE can make everything better, if you learn to run to Him and trust Him."
Now to your questions, what if I found out my child masturbates? How far do I go when talking about sex and masturbation?
My kids are still small, but we talk about sex every couple weeks, it seems. Not on purpose, it's just a natural part of language in the family. It comes up in movies, it comes up when discussing where babies come from. It comes up when my wife and I discuss LDSAR and addictions in general, which we do very frequently, and we never hide ourselves from the kids when we do.
Our kids know what sex is. They know what their body parts are. We've told them it all feels good. We've also told them that their parts are private and no one should touch them (including relatives). They are in control of their bodies. They know that if they see a naked picture or if someone tries to touch them, they are not in trouble. They should come talk to us about it. We've told them what sex is for and when it is appropriate. We've told them that touching themselves can be addictive, and they have a general idea of what addiction means, because we talk about all other kids of addictions.
We talk about all of this in the context of eternal families. My kids know that the only place on earth you can be sealed to your family forever is the temple. They saw Kate and William get married. They were awed at the show of a real-life prince and princess being married. But my kids understand that THEY are princes and princesses. The temple is the only place where they will be anointed to become a king or queen. It is the only place where they will be promised a kingdom and throne. My kids know that they came to earth to get a body, and that their body belongs to them. They know that bodies are sacred and special, and they know that sex is something you do after you are married in the temple, so that your own little kingdom can be started correctly, with princes and princesses who are sealed to you.
We talk regularly about all of this, and my older two children (who are not yet 9) could tell you anything I just wrote, but they probably wouldn't, since we also tell them that talking about sex is just something we talk about only within our family, and they shouldn't talk with others about it.
So, when one of them masturbates, I hope they come tell us, because it's something we have talked about. And, as we have already told them, they will not be in trouble. We will be grateful they chose to be honest and open. That's important. I hope I will ask them how they feel about it. If they feel sad, I will be sad with them and express my love for them. The first time or two, I will probably tell them it's not a big deal if it happens once in a while; they may want to say a prayer and go do something else. (I don't want them to focus on it or worry about it or "scratch that itch until it bleeds.") I will invite them to please come talk to me again if it happens again. If they come back several times, I will continue to ask how they feel about it. If they want to stop, but they think it is hard, I will ask them if they want my help, and then we will talk about all of the things that help.
At least, that is the direction I think I want to take. It hasn't happened yet, so I don't know truly what I will do yet.
Perhaps more important for me is to focus on how I treat my kids when they make ANY other mistakes, not just this kind of mistake. When my kids whine at the table, yell at mom, destroy a toy, disobey parents, make a mess, hit and fight, etc., etc. It's all the same. I need to focus on being on their team. I need to focus on loving them and supporting them. I need to focus on how their inappropriate actions make them feel. I need to ask them if they want help stopping. I need to constantly remind them that, "It's OK when they make mistakes. That is what we have Jesus for.""

awsome answer
"I absolutely loved what you wrote BeClean. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, Memorial weekend was busy.
I wasn't talking about being "addicted" to Masturbation. I was talking about Pornography. I have been exposed to Porn before my addiction to it, but I could easily reject it because my spirit was so strong. But the guilt and shame from Masturbation tore that wall of protection. I didn't know what it was, what it meant, if I was the only boy in the world with that issue. My parents never talked about sex, so consequently my burning questions turned to the Internet. That's what lead to my Porn use and really broke down that wall. It was slow, starting with blogs and stories, but got worse over time. I soon moved to erotic stories, tose sites had pic here and there, then I woul look for pictures. Then short videos. The actual soft porn. Of course by then I decided why not anythhing since I already crossed the line. A teenagers curiosity is so dangerous on the internet, especially when parents won't talk about sex.
I know in the LDS.COM website it says Parents should talk to their kids about masturbation, and to tell them not to use tose powers. It would be awsome if we didn't rigt? But we are just kids and things happen. That's why I started this blog, because of course tell your kids to not do it, but what if tthey do. It's not as simple as just stopping, as we all know. Try to remember when you were a teen, hormones raging and all of the girls look amazing. Once you masturbate, it's an experience you can't just stop. I think bishops understand this and that's why they're not so hard on teenagers. But yes I think te best thing you can say to your children, is I'll be here for you (without judgement)
you say you talk to your children about sex, that's so cool. My parents have never talked about sex to us, so it's super awkward. I don't know if you realize wat you've done for them, the trust you've built and comfortable level is strong. I'm glad you don't plan on scolding them; an acutal conversation will go a lot further than sharp languange.
yyour approach, if they masturbate, definitely has the right idea. The only thing I would say is to be careful of making them come to you everytime they slip. The reason I say is because when I first masturbated, I did it everyday for months. I didn't want to, I fought against it really hard but my body was 100% against me. Adults forget the amount of hormones we have during Puberty. So, if one or more does start to masturbate, be careful of making them come everytime. It can drive a wedge because they might start lying because they don't want to disapoint you and so it can ruin the relationship. Instead, I would say do some type of meeting everyone few months or so, and say how are you doing.
a loving approach wil always be appreciated by your kids. The yelling and stuff is different, because I think that's about respect and kids should always have respect.
thanks for thhe comments BeClean, I hope other parents see and learn from it."

Reporting to me every time they slip...
"Good comment, Moronidenovo.
When I think about it, I never intended to say I would ask my children to report every slip up to me. What I meant to say was I would be there for them, if they WANTED my help, and if they WANTED to tell me their failures.
But, actually, I'm a bigger believer in reporting successes AND failures. Mostly successes. In other words, when my children come to me for help on this issue, I will ask them to focus on their daily prayers, scripture reading, and journal writing. If they ask me to actually help them with this issue, I will ask them to report THOSE successes to me. And, whenever they want to tell me that they have been clean, I will encourage them to tell me.
The key, in my mind, is whether my children understand that what they are doing is painful to their spirit. If they understand that, and they want to stop, and they are doing what they can do to build their testimony, then I will try to be nonjudgmental and helpful. Eventually, the Savior will rescue them. I can't."

part of life
"I believe its part of life, if the kid wants to, they should go ahead, but its private I would not want my child to tell me if they masturbate, if they want to, go ahead, it feels good, and every teen does it eventually. To me, it is not a sin. It PART OF LIFE. GET OVER IT. Stop getting in ur child's business. Its personal if they want to masturbate or not. Who cares, its not a big deal. Having sex however is a completely different story, I would hope my child would let me know if they are starting to have sex so I could help them stay protected. But masturbation is a choice, its not bad. And u parents who r saying u want ur child to tell u if they masturbate,that's something really personal, and I'm almost positive ur child would feel very uncomfortable about telling u. I definitely would have. Think about when u were young. U probably didn't tell ur parents, and if u knew ur parents were just as nosey as u are now, u would have felt uncomfortable."

Anon you are an idiot!
"Kids may experiment a bit, but if they continue, before they know it they are no longer in control of their body / desires and these desires have been replaced by compulsion and like a drug addict their drug of choice has become masturbation or porn or both.
This addiction like any other addiction comes from Satan the master of addictions, and like alcohol or drugs can control and ruin your life.
Before you know it, addiction has robbed you of your joy, happiness, self worth, honesty, opportunities, relationships, love and your life or the life you could of had.
With my children we often talked about addictions. I also told them about the sacredness of sex and that like them they have been on loan to me from Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Father is really the owner of our bodies.
That is why he has given us guidelines. We are the dust of the ground. Everything belongs to God! I told them from a young age that Heavenly Father wanted them to wait till they were married before having sex and that no one was to touch them in their private places not even themselves.
However if I was your mother I would constaintly try to help you over come this addiction. I believe that once your addiction has become compulsive there is a lot of evil spirit intervention happening and this would be the area that I would try to address.
choice becomes masturbation or porn"

I would take a more passive approach
"I would really encourage my kid to seek help. Praise him when he is seeking help and try to work with him if he is not. I would try to get him to work with the bishop but I would not make him as he has to make the commitment to try to stay clean. I cannot watch him 24/7 he has to quit when he wants to. I would tell him my story about addiction and also his grandfathers and great grand fathers story. I would be open and honest with him. I would hope that he be honest with me back and be honest with his bishop.
But more importantly I would love him. I would love him for who he was and never discourage him. Such actions only make things worsts for addicts as it would show that I am not willing to help him."

Remember me
"Just as the landfill requires dedicated work and attention, laboriously applying layer after layer of fill to reclaim the low-lying ground, our lives also require the same vigilance, continually applying layer after layer of the healing gift of repentance.…Our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, feel sorrow when we choose to remain in sin, when the gift of repentance made possible through the Atonement can clean, reclaim, and sanctify our lives. When we gratefully accept and use this precious gift, we can enjoy the beauty and usefulness of our lives... "

Balayage is a form of highlighting that's used to create a natural, sun-kissed look, as if you've just come from the beach. It's often seen on models and celebrities.
It creates a more natural appearance than traditional foil highlighting. With Balayage—the word is French for 'sweep'— the colourist takes sections of hair one by one and then uses a brush to paint the front of strands with a sweeping motion, choosing just where to place the highlights. This method of colouring adds movement and dimension to your hair, creating a look that's sexy as well as subtle.
The Benefits
Do want hair colour that's on trend as well as low maintenance? If so, Balayage could be perfect for you. Because highlights are applied thinly, grow out isn't as noticeable as with foil highlighting. This means you don't have to refresh your colour as often, so you save trips to the hairdresser.
Because the look is so subtle, it's a great choice if you're new to highlighting and not ready for anything too dramatic.
Balayage Exeter
With Balayage, you have a wide range of styling options. It's a fabulous look for curly hair, but it's great for straight hair, too. You can straighten your hair without worrying about harsh colour lines. It can be used with almost any texture or length. Because colour is hand painted on, highlighted sections can range from narrow to chunky, depending on your preference.
Is It Right for Everyone?
While Balayage can be used to create beautiful hairstyles, it's not always appropriate. If you want a very noticeable colour difference, Balayage is the wrong choice. It's designed to be subtle and isn't suitable for highlights more than three shades lighter than your natural colour.
Can You Do It Yourself?
When it comes to Balayage, we wouldn't recommend colouring your hair at home. This technique requires expert skill, precision and specialist equipment. Have your hair coloured professionally to avoid costly mistakes.
At The Hair Boutique in Exeter, our hair colour specialist will use her expertise to determine the shade that best enhances your skin tone and your natural hair colour. She'll apply your colour expertly, precisely placing each highlight in the most flattering position.
If you've already had an unsuccessful go at DIY colouring, we offer a colour correction service to get your hair looking beautiful again.
Cut and Colour
Balayage works with most hairstyles. For an exciting new look, consider Balayage along with a brand new haircut by our expert stylist. You'll look and feel fantastic.

"In my opinion, the hardest part of getting your GED is walking through the doors. The fear of the unknowns is real for many people".
With a combined 43 years of teaching experience at RACE 1, Debra Watson and Judy Samples have seen many students walk through those doors and face the 'unknowns'.
"Many students are just afraid to start because they don't know what to expect. What I hope they understand is there is no judgement here. We just want them to succeed".
Debra Watson is a RACE 1 GED instructor in Lee County, and also teaches inmates at the Duffield Regional Jail. Watson, a three-time honoree of the Roberta P. Smallwood Excellence in Adult Education Award, counts seeing students get out of jail with their GED is one of the most encouraging aspects of her job.
Judy Samples is a RACE 1 GED instructor in Wise County. Samples says she's seen many students overcome personal obstacles to achieve GED success. "We are here to help them succeed. We understand they may have different life circumstances and obstacles to overcome, and a big part of our job is to encourage and support them on their journey."
Debra and Judy are just two of the incredible Regional Adult and Career Education instructors serving Lee, Wise, and Scott Counties, and the city of Norton. A special thank you to ALL of our Instructors who are making a difference in the work they do!

A fast-talker named C. G. P. Grey has put together a delightful, informative video about the geographical entities that terms like "Britain" and "Empire" conjure up. (I learned of this video from dvorak.com.) I plan to watch this video several times, until I despair of remembering everything it's about. It's called The United Kindom (and a whole lot more) explained.

Medical transfers from offshore processing to Australia
Posted 9 Mar 2019 10:00AM
Download factsheet: The Medevac law: Medical transfers from offshore processing to Australia
Australia's parliament passed a new law in controversial circumstances, providing for the transfer of asylum seekers from offshore processing to Australia for medical treatment.
What is the so-called medevac legislation and what does it do?
The medevac legislation passed by Australia's parliament became law on 1 March 2019. It enables asylum seekers and refugees held under Australia's offshore processing arrangements to be transferred to Australia for medical treatment or assessment if two doctors say they need it, unless the Minister refuses on character and/or national security grounds. The decision-making process (outlined below) will be activated by two doctors' diagnosis rather than by public servants' decisions.
The Morrison government, which voted against the legislation, already has moved to re-open detention facilities on Australia's remote Christmas Island; any refugee or asylum seeker who receives access to medical services under the new process will be sent there, as a matter of government policy (page 126). In November 2018 the Australian Human Rights Commission said that 'due to its remoteness, the nature of its security infrastructure, and the limited access to facilities and services on Christmas Island, [it] is not an appropriate facility for immigration detention, particularly for people who are vulnerable or have been detained for prolonged periods of time.' The Island's CEO has since reiterated that.

Duos compete in Virginia Beach tourney, ready for nationals
July 9, 2016 | Virginia Beach, Va.
Heat took a toll on members of Liberty University's beach volleyball team who played in the Tidewater Volleyball Association's Big Money Tournament, Saturday on the 7th Street oceanfront in Virginia Beach.
"It was very hot and players had sand socks on before noon because the sand was that hot," Liberty Head Coach Rachel Willis said, noting that temperatures reached into the upper 90-degree range.
Graduate student David Hong and rising senior Sam Eisbrenner won their first three matches in the best-of-three-game men's open division, remaining in the winner's bracket entering their 3 p.m. quarterfinal match.
"They were off to a really good start and I was really happy with what David and Sam were doing," Willis said. "They were playing really consistently and making adjustments to what their opponents were doing."
However, muscle cramps in Hong's legs became so severe that they were forced to forfeit just four points into their fourth match and eighth game of the day.
The Flames and Lady Flames entered a total of eight tandems into the men's and women's open, AA, and A divisions, which ranged from eight to 16 pairs, mostly from the Virginia Beach area. They gained some valuable experience heading into this Saturday's Wilmington (N.C.) July Adult Series tournament and the July 23 National Collegiate Sand Volleyball Association (NCSVA) National Championships in Santa Monica, Calif.
Junior Caleb Pitcher and graduate Paul Brueckner, Liberty's other duo in the men's open division, lost their first two matches and were eliminated.
On the women's side, graduate Karyl Wiese and senior Morgan Horne lost their opening match and had to wait more than four hours before being eliminated in the second round in three games.
"I thought they were going to pull it out," Willis said. "They weren't playing bad, by any means, but the other team just played a little bit better at the end."
In the AA bracket, sophomore Lydia Smith and senior Brittany Tyree teamed up for the first time and placed second in their pool before defeating the team they lost to in pool play to advance to the semifinals. There, they lost a three-game match to a Virginia Beach pair.
"They had one girl as tall as Lydia, who's 6-foot-2, so they matched up pretty well," Willis said. "It took a while to figure out their team chemistry, but our girls played really well for their first tournament playing together."
The Lady Flames also had two of their three women's A teams advance to the second round of the single-elimination playoffs before losing. Sophomore Lindsay Barber and senior Caroline Bertholino defeated Liberty sophomore teammates Madison Riley and Hannah Hyland in first round of the playoffs, a one-game match to 28.
Willis has finalized the three pairs who will travel to NCSVA National Championships — the women's duo of Wiese and Horne and the men's tandems of Hong and Eisbrenner as well as graduate Kaleb VanDePerre and former indoor volleyball player Nick Williamson, who qualified at the April 30 NCSVA Regional hosted by Liberty, but haven't played together since.
Liberty also will enter two men's and four women's team to compete in the Virginia Commonwealth Games tournament, also set for July 23.

CS: GO is a game about individual skill, teamplay and economy management. If you know when to use pistols, you'll be at a great advantage when it comes to economy and planning for future rounds. If you also know how to use them, you can do some serious damage to your opponent's game plan. Learn more about CS:GO When and where to use your pistol.
Find a team for CS:GO Turf Wars
Let's first take a look at what exactly pistols are and then look at a few pistols to see when and how you should use them.
Check out these CS:GO Pro Tips sponsored by Snakmandoo.
Let's start with what pistols are. Pistols take up their own slot in your inventory and you spawn with one, so you should never be without a pistol. They are used when you can't afford a primary, when your primary runs out of ammo and you don't have time to reload, and situationally.
For example, if you have to engage multiple opponents at a close range with an OP, it makes more sense to pull out your pistol instead. In general, pistols are weaker than primary weapons in terms of damage, precision, accuracy, fire rate, and armour penetration. However, there are exceptions as each pistol is fairly unique.
You can move quickly with pistols and you do not have as much tagging. So, it makes the most sense when you are using pistols to keep moving—shooting when you change directions for the accurate shot.
Let's take a look at the Counter-Terrorist starting pistols, the USP-S and the P2000. Both of these pistols are virtually interchangeable and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. The difference is that the USP-S has a silencer, one round less in each magazine, and fewer magazines overall.
The USP-S is one of the only weapons you are in danger running out of ammo with. The silencer prevents tracer rounds and it's fairly quiet when you shoot it. There are also some very slight, almost unnoticeable differences between the USP-S and the P2000.
The USP-S has very slightly better recoil, and is slightly less precise at longer distances. Though, I wouldn't base my choice on which weapon to use on these differences. I would choose based on the magazine capacity and the silencer.
Both these weapons are fairly precise, which is amazing considering they are free. They are also much more precise than the Glock-18 at longer distances. Meaning, you are going to be able to win those long-range engagements much easier. Just like the Glock-18, both of these weapons do not do much damage against armour.
Now, let's take a look at the Terrorist's starting pistol, the Glock-18—arguably the weakest weapon in the game. It fires semi-automatic like every other pistol, and the recoil pattern goes side to side to a great extent and slightly upward.
The Glock-18 has terrible armour penetration, so you should take your enemy down with three headshots. If you were at point-blank range, it would take eight chest shots to kill your opponent. However, against unarmoured opponents, the Glock has the ability to one tap head shot at close and medium distances. Which, makes this good enough for the first round in the game.
One of the most unique characteristics of the Glock-18 is the burst fire mechanic. It fires three round very quickly, though you still need to control for recoil when burst firing.
The next pistol we'll talk about is the p250. It cost $300 and is the cheapest weapon you have to purchase. This is the pistol you will buy if you are very low on money and you don't want to use the free pistols.
The p250 is less precise than the free pistols, but does noticeably more damage and has a controllable recoil. Against armoured players, this pistol has the ability to kill your opponent with one headshot. The best way to use this pistol is at close and medium distances and fire four to five shots while controlling for recoil.
Recoil is random, so keep an eye out and correct for it as necessary. The reduced magazine capacity of the p250 makes you slightly in danger of running out of ammo.
For just $200 more than the p250, the CZ75-Auto is a much better pistol. The CZ75-Auto is a unique pistol for many reasons and the only benefit it has over any other pistol is that it is automatic. This pistol can unload a large amount of rounds in a short amount of time, making this pistol ideal for close-range positions.
However, the CZ75-Auto has terrible accuracy, precision, the spray pattern is random and difficult to control. This is also the only pistol that has a lower kill reward of just $100, making it a not so good choice for eco rounds.
Also, the CZ75-Auto doesn't have very much ammo, it has two mags and 12 rounds a piece. In turn, this pistol has a very specific role. On the Counter-Terrorist side, it can be used at close range around a corner to steal your enemy's primary weapon.
The strength of the CZ75-Auto is its fire rate, giving it a very high damage per second. Being up close and personal with this pistol will net you fairly easy kills.
Find a team for CS:GO Turf Wars
The Desert Eagle is an iconic Counter Strike weapon. It's a big bulky, difficult to use, monster of a pistol and expensive coming in at $700. The Desert Eagle does a crazy amount of damage and is insanely accurate. It can land a one-hit accurate headshot at long distance.
If you fire the weapon too quickly, its impossible to control. You can tap shoot at a moderate speed to land accurate shots. I'd venture to say that the Desert Eagle has the highest skill ceiling of any weapon in the game.
This makes it a massive risk/reward and is perfect for highly accurate players. This pistol is best used against players that spend lots of money on their equipment—they can be taken out in a single shot. Be prepared to invest a lot of time learning how to use this pistol to get the most out of it.

this recipe. not because it is gourmet. because it isn't. not because it is vegetarian & promoted at whole foods. because it's not that either. but it is a true to goodness casserole. you will feel like a pro. you will feel prepared for any church potluck sprung on you, last minute. you will feel like a real girl (as in pinocchio feels like a real boy).
Cowboy Goulash
1 lb. mac & cheese (this is straight from the recipe book. i don't know how to even figure out if i have a pound of mac & cheese. i just used 2 boxes & it was perf.)
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 T. chili powder
1 (16-oz) can diced tomatoes in juice
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
salt & pepper to taste
preheat oven: 350
prepare mac & cheese according to directions on the box. brown beef. drain. add chili powder, s&p, & onion. add tomato and juice. simmer for 5 minutes; add corn & stir. mix with macaroni. (for this step, i just used my 9x13 pan and added 1/2 macaroni & then beef mixture. mixed together & added a little more until it all was in the pan & mixed together) top with grated cheese. (i did a cheddar/ mozzarella mix...because that is what we had...but it was great!) bake for approximately 30 minutes (or until cheese is melted).
this isn't an exciting meal. but it is exciting for a wednesday. or you know, one of those days when you want something easy + tasty. and you are really hoping for leftovers. because you will have some. for us, it isn't a huge problem because shawn eats like a elephant. (you thought i was going to say horse, right? no, it's way past that. elephants eat over 150 lbs of food a day. shawn is in their league.)
this casserole would be perfect paired with a lettuce salad & garlic bread.
well, let me know if you try it! i am a sucker for tried and true recipes. and i am proud to say this would fall in that category.

We are proposing a constitutional amendment to DSA to increase the NPC from 16 to 24 members while retaining the allocation to various categories of members. The proposal is virtually identical to the 2017 resolution that received about 63% of the vote - not the 2/3 necessary to pass.
To get this on the 2019 convention agenda, we need co-sponsorship from 50 (or more) DSA members - and we need it by May 2.
If you agree, RESPOND DIRECTLY TO ME,
If you wan to sign on, your response should include:
(1) Name;

2019 Honda Pilot Edmonton AB
We were surprised today with information that the 2019 Honda Pilot in Edmonton AB has undergone an exciting mid-generation refresh! Now, we cannot wait for the all-new Honda Pilot to arrive, with its aggressive new design cues, enhanced powertrain, standard Honda Sensing across the board, and several other new upgrades.
As we mentioned, we had no idea that the Honda Pilot was getting reworked, which makes it all the more exciting that it should be arriving anytime within the next few short months. While it hasn't been completely redesigned, all of these upgrades and enhancements make for an all-new crossover that we can't wait to get on the road!
Specs & Features of the 2019 Pilot
There are a host of new features found in the 2019 Honda Pilot that we cannot wait to experience for ourselves. Chief among them are the new hands-free power tailgate and display audio screen, which features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, as we mentioned, Honda Sensing is now standard across all trim levels for the Pilot, which means even the base trim level has the increased sense of confidence that Honda Sensing delivers.
While a majority of the exterior remains the same, the 2019 Pilot does feature a more aggressive front fascia and an updated rear fascia as well, thanks to new bumpers, skid garnish, lights and chrome accents. There are also new 20" wheel designs available on the top trim levels that enhance the aggressiveness of the crossover even more.
The powertrain remains mostly the same, but some new technologies mean it will perform even better than previous iterations. This includes things like second-gear launch mode, brake pressure trigger and refinements to the 9-speed transmission.
If you're interested in a 2019 Honda Pilot of your own, be sure to get in touch with us right here at Wheaton Honda. We look forward to hearing from you!

A Norse teen and her family are forced to flee to the American West to escape the effects of an ancestral Viking curse in this jaw-dropping historical paranormal romance from the author of Monument 14.
Are Hanne's powers a gift from the old Norse gods, or a curse?
Her brother Stieg swears their powers are a gift from the old gods, but Hanne Hemstad knows she is truly cursed. It's not Stieg's fault that their father is dead, their mother has left, and their brother Knut has been accused of a crime he didn't commit.
No, the fault lies with Hanne and her inability to control her murderous "gift" — she is a Berserker. When someone she loves is threatened, she flies into a killing state. The siblings must leave Norway for the American frontier or risk being brought to justice.
Aided by a young cowboy who agrees to be their guide, Hanne and her siblings use their powers to survive the perilous trail, where blizzards, wild animals, and vicious bounty hunters await.
Will they be able to reach their uncle, the one man Hanne believes may be able to teach her how to control her drive to kill? With BERSERKER, Emmy Laybourne, the author of MONUMENT 14, presents her vision of an American west studded with Viking glory.

Latest news: loading screen!
Hello everyone! We're back one more Friday to let you know the latest BMX The Game development news produced here at Barspin Studios.
As we previously announced to backers, today we made a video showing the loading screen you will have on the beta. As the city will be huge, players will be able to play some tricks in a loading screen that will change every time.
This loading screen will be generated randomly with different spots and different bikepark pieces. We are also working on new minigames so you do not have to wait doing nothing while computer loads the city. Notice that this load screen is very simple for any computer to load fast. In this case, game loaded the stadium (Palau Sant Jordi) we talked about past week.
Finally, we have been reading you comments about asking new gameplay with tricks. About this, if we have not showed tricks so far, it is because we do not have everything implemented and polished yet. Until we have every trick finished, we won't be able to show gameplay with tricks. Thanks for your patience. Have a good weekend.

Khloe Kardashian Reveals She's Cool With Amber Rose & Feud Is 'Water Under The Bridge'
Whoa, say what?! During the March 2 episode of 'Kocktails With Khloe,' the reality star revealed that she and Amber Rose aren't enemies anymore!
Khloe Kardashian just dropped a major bombshell, Amber Rose isn't on her sh*t list anymore! During her March 2 episode, she told guest star Lisa Rinna and Marlon Yates Jr., that she only fought with Amber because she was protecting Kylie Jenner.
"You feel stupid," Khloe said. "Really, I'm arguing in 140 characters?! I don't think so, you just feel dumb. Amber said something about Kylie and Tyga and so I felt protective over Kylie. Amber I haven't seen her but Amber and I are cool now. It's water under the bridge." We can totally understand why Khloe felt this way but at the same time it was an intense feud. We can't help but think that Kim Kardashian had something to do with them burying the hatchet because she ended her own feud with Amber recently too.
Khloe also revealed during this episode that her late dad, Robert Kardashian Sr., was so stressed out while defending O.J. Simpson, that she believes the stress killed him. "What I do respect is that [regardless of] what my dad did or didn't know, my dad would never betray his friend's trust," Khloe said in a clip from the upcoming episode. "He never spoke about it. My dad also died of throat cancer which does not run in my family. My dad doesn't smoke, doesn't drink. I think holding in secrets [and] stress kills you! I feel like you manifest things, you have to think — I'm into symbolic situations."
HollywoodLifers, are you surprised Khloe and Amber buried their feud? Sound off below!

With Christmas right around the corner, we know you'll be keen to get your e-commerce strategy into order.
When you're a small retailer, you might feel as though you're limited when it comes to what you're able to achieve around the Christmas period.
You're already having to deal with increased stock numbers, increased customer support queries and increased pressure to offer the best deals.
It can very quickly become overwhelming.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
If you're struggling with e-commerce Christmas campaign ideas or don't know how you can make your e-commerce store stand out, this is the post for you.
We've done a full analysis of Boots' (health and beauty retailer) Christmas e-commerce strategy to provide you with a list of strategies you can implement into your own e-commerce store.
Let's go.
How Boots SEO strategy helps them generate new Christmas leads
Around Christmas, you should know that people actively look online to buy their Christmas presents or even just browse for inspiration.
One way to make sure that when someone searches for Christmas gifts, your website shows up is to improve your Christmas SEO strategy.
When you search for "Boots" online, you'll see that they've changed their page title to include the word "Christmas".
They've also included two product category keywords "beauty" and "health".
This is effective because it not only lets a prospective visitor know that there will be Christmas deals and offers on the site, but it helps them find it in the easiest way.
One of the core reasons why people land on your site and don't make a purchase falls down to the amount of friction your website has.
If a customer cannot easily find what they're looking for, compare other options and make a purchase, they're going to go somewhere else.
So what Boots do well is to make sure that when someone searches for them on Google, you can easily access their Christmas page and browse the products.
So if you're going to start your Christmas campaign, make sure you have your Christmas products and offers in the most visible place so your potential customers can find them easily.
Christmas themed deals
If there's one thing a majority of people love, it's Christmas deals.
When you have a load of people to buy for, but you also want to get people nice presents, the total amount can quickly add up.
It's why so many retailers (including Boots) offer specific Christmas deals their customers will love.
Now, where Boots gets really clever is that they don't just create deals for Christmas, they actually have great deals all year round.
What they do, however, is to reframe the way their deals appear.
You'll see in the screenshot above, the half price razor has a Christmas theme.
People often like to buy high-ticket items for their close loved ones and to know you can get an expensive item for half the normal price, it seems like a no-brainer why you wouldn't make the purchase.
In order to properly highlight these great deals though, Boots makes them as prominent on their website as possible.
The huge banner images are above the fold, meaning before people even delve deeper into the website, they're presented by these offers.
If you're just coming to the website to browse, seeing great deals like these is a sure-fire way to generate more sales.
Remember, people can't resist a deal, make it as easy as possible for them to get one!
Reimagining the homepage
One thing you'll notice about the Boots website at Christmas is that the entire thing feels "Christmassy".
Every image and product category description on their website has been altered with Christmas in mind.
This is effective because it helps customers understand that this is the website to go to if you want to find a good Christmas deal.
Every single image on their homepage has some sort of Christmas-themed graphic behind it.
They even change the copy on some of their category pages to "shop stocking fillers".
This is because they know at this time customers are actively seeking out presents.
What's more, they understand that although people are looking for presents, not everyone is prepared to spend 100's of dollars.
Having a specific section for lower-priced products like stocking fillers allows people to increase their average order value.
Think about it. You're unlikely to buy 7 razors, but what you might buy is 7 different people a nice stocking filler.
If you're thinking about switching up your e-commerce store this Christmas, see if you can give your entire site a Christmas theme.
If you manage to do it, you'll send a message to your prospective customers that you understand their issues with finding the right gift and you've reorganised your online store to help them locate something that's just right for them.
Customer segmentation
Being able to properly segment your customers is a great way to generate sales because it helps prospective buyers easily find the products they're looking for.
You'll see in the image above, Boots have two options. The first where you can search for products for "her". The second option is to search for products for "him".
This is effective because it removes the sense of overwhelming you might feel when presented with a load of products.
Remember, Boots have repositioned their entire website to have a Christmas theme.
This is good to draw people into their website, but can also feel quite pressurising when it comes to actually find the perfect gift for your loved one.
In the example above, Boots segments their products by gender, but they also have further filter options for when you've chosen which gender you're hoping to buy for.
You can segment by fragrance, brands, rating but the one segmentation that's particularly useful is the "who's it for" section.
Under the "who's it for" section, you can pick out of a range of categories.
So whether you're buying for your son, your grandad or your friend, you'll find the perfect product for you.
If you're looking for ways to segment your products this Christmas, see if you can go beyond simply "price higher to lower" and instead think about how people shop at Christmas.
Helpful product category pages
Often when brands produce a specific deal or offer and promote it furiously it becomes the thing they're known for.
Boots are the same.
If you're from the UK, you'll know about Boots "3 for 2 mixes & match".
And if you're not already familiar with the mix&match concept, they have a helpful motion graphic on their 3 for 2 page that explains the process.
They show a series of three images that guide people through how their offer works. The first tells customers to choose the gifts they want from the offer page.
The second shows that you don't need to think about what price your products are. Their system automatically arranges the gifts in price order: from high to low.
Finally, they let you know that you'll get the third (cheapest) priced item out of the three for free.
It's a really simple concept but made even more useful by the fact they've explained how to use the system.
Again, they're working to remove any friction by customers who might choose not to buy simply because they don't understand how the concept works.
Don't let Christmas become overwhelming for you or your customers.
Let's Christmas be a time that your e-commerce store generates loads of sales.
In this post, we've looked at a number of different Christmas e-commerce strategies you can implement into your e-commerce store.
See what changes you can make to your store this year and watch the results fly in.
Let us know in the comments if you've ever changed your e-commerce store during the Christmas period.e-commerce christmas campaign

Features April 1994
A review of Images: My Life In Film by Ingmar Bergman
The art of film, it is often said, begins at the point where human speech fails. Moving pictures, married to sound and music, enable us to enter worlds beyond the reach of words alone. For the veteran Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, these are the worlds of dream. "When film is not a document it is a dream," he wrote in his autobiography, The Magic Lantern. "Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul."
Bergman's dreams have for the most part been nightmares. His films are as far from the popular tradition of Hollywood as Fårö, his Baltic island retreat, is from Los Angeles. Instead he has drawn on Scandinavian drama and his own Lutheran background in Sweden, where he was born in 1918, to create an individual style that is honored throughout the world. Many images from his work...

Due to an increasing demand for high performance electronics, e.g. mobile, wearable, artificial intelligence for self-driving, heterogeneous 3D integration chips are highly desired since the integration scheme can be significantly outperforming a 2D integration chip. In addition, quantum computing with multiple qubits are expected to require 3D integration technology to connect separated qubits and interconnect cell. Electrochemical deposition is an essential process for heterogeneous 3D integration, due to its ability to fill high aspect ratio features with complex geometries at high deposition rates, leading to high throughput and lower manufacturing costs. The goal of this project is to develop thorough understanding of plating processes for possible applications in 3D integration, incl quantum application. We are interested in improving plating processes of current industry favorites such as Sn, Ni, Co, and Cu, but also developing plating processes for superconducting material for quantum applications. We would explore the ways to manipulate the morphology, surface roughness, chemical composition, etc. of the deposited structure, while maintaining optimal deposition rate and feature height uniformity across the characteristic length-scale. Thorough understanding of the plating mechanism and its effect on the morphology of both elemental structure/layers is to enable determination of deposition parameters needed to match design requirements for a given plated material and its applications.
Type of project: Internship
Supervising scientist(s): For further information or for application, please contact: Fumihiro Inoue (firstname.lastname@example.com)
