Thunderbird, one of the best open source email clients got updated recently. The new version is 38.0.1 and I would like to share with you what is new in this version.
RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performanceThunderbird is my preferred email client of choice. I use this app on every PC and on every operating system I use. It is stable, contains all the features you need, supports add-ons and also comes with a useful RSS reader. I am using Thunderbird for many years and never felt the need to look for an alternative.
As you might be knowing, Thunderbird used to be Mozilla's project but Mozilla decided to discontinue development on it. Now it is developed only by community members, so new releases appear more slowly than they used to in the Mozilla era.
Thunderbird 38.0.1 features lots of notable changes:
- Integration with the popular Lightning add-on: Lightning implements a calendar for Thunderbird. It is close to the calendar you get in Microsoft Outlook. Now Lightning has been combined with Thunderbird, however, it is not enabled by default. You need to activate it using a special option in Preferences.
- The GMail feature now supports OAuth2 authentication, removing the need to manually select the "allow less secure applications" option in Google account settings.
- Added the ability to filter sent and archived messages. The appropriate triggers were added to launch the filter event.
- The ability to use the maildir format for email accounts. With the maildir format, every email message will be stored in a separate file.
- The ability to search in multiple/all address books.
- Implemented support for internationalized domain name URLs for RSS feeds.
- More columns were added to the folders pane. Now it can show the total amount of messages stored in the folder and the size of the folder.
- Chat: lots of improvements in Jabber/XMPP, IRC. Added support for Yahoo! Messenger protocol.
- Lots of other improvements and bug fixes. You can read the complete change log HERE.
So, the release of Thunderbird 38.0.1 looks very interesting. While personally, I don't like the idea of Lightning being integrated into Thunderbird, it should not be an issue for most users. If you didn't have Lightning installed, you won't even notice its presence since it is not activated by default. All the rest of the changes made by the developer community have made Thunderbird more useful and feature-rich. You can grab Thunderbird 38.0.1 using the following link:

Boxxy stared inquisitively at the slightly hyperactive Minic. The little guy had no idea who or what was going on, and seemed genuinely excited about its new owner's current chesty disposition. It was frankly a miracle nothing strange happened to it from the after-effects of the Transfamiliar Spell. Stranger still was the notion that the Spell in question could be used to transport multiple living things at the same time. Who knows? It may prove useful in the future, so it was definitely good to know.
There was another worrying aspect, though. Boxxy genuinely failed to realize its presence at first. Perhaps it was the scenario where people would ignore the ants underfoot? No, come to think of it, the dryad seemed strangely okay with this intruder, didn't she?
"Ambrosia," it called out, "why didn't you react to this creature?"
"What doth thy mean, milord?" asked the dumbfounded dryad. "'Tis one of thy servants, is it not?"
"Well, it is, but shouldn't you be more concerned with a new intruder?"
"... Hmm, thou makes a good point. 'Tis most bizarre now that I think of it. While this creature is undoubtedly an invader, I find myself unwilling to harm it. Almost as if- No, I am certain. This creature was definitely carved from mine timber."
That would certainly explain things. A dungeon core's idle compulsion would not be enough to overwrite the most basic of instincts - that of self-preservation. It may be able to do that on a mindless creature, but this dryad was anything but. Meaning that if she saw Minic as a part of her body, then she would avoid harming it unless absolutely necessary. This realization also brought to light the fact that this thing was made out of actual, living wood rather than malleable shapeshifter flesh. Almost as if it were a golem or treant. The material was just so natural that Boxxy didn't even give it a second thought. Perhaps this mini-mimic had some sort of Skill or ability that let it escape one's notice? It certainly seemed easy to ignore.
Actually, this was a good opportunity. The dungeon core's Surveillance Net could perform an Invader Analysis - something halfway between a Basic Appraisal and a full one. Though it wouldn't reveal Skills or Perks, it was still enough to gauge a living being's strength. The Mimic hurriedly brought up the relevant screens and menus, and activated the function in question. Minic seemed to sense something was going on, as it jumped a bit in surprise with a high-pitched "Yip!" but didn't do much beyond that. Mere seconds later, Boxxy was given a bizarre Status screen.
|General Information
|Job Information
|House Mimic
|462 years
|Household of Tol-Saroth
|275/275 (+0.5/sec)
One thing was abundantly clear - this creature was clearly one of the original House Mimics made by Tol-Saroth. Judging from this Status, it had been created through some sort of fusion between a Doppelganger and a demon, and was quite a bit tougher than it appeared. However, the lack of INT and WIS and that truly outrageous LCK Attribute hinted at an untellable tale of hardship. The fact this creature had survived 4 and a half centuries while working off nothing more than instincts and dumb luck alone was... incredible, to say the least. It also put into question exactly how much of a lifespan mimics and doppelgangers actually had, though this creature's longevity was most likely due to the demonic influence it carried.
Another thing that was obvious was that Minic truly lacked the capacity of comprehending its surroundings as anything more complex than 'tasty things' and 'safe things.' Meaning it was probably safe to keep looking after it. Even if it somehow understood Keira and Boxxy's secret, it completely lacked the ability to actually communicate such a thing. It was quite literally physically incapable of spilling the beans. Also, it was still quite shiny.
"Ambrosia, can you keep Minic here company for a while?"
"It would be mine pleasure, milord."
She bent down and picked up the animate jewelry box, which immediately nuzzled itself between her breasts. Come to think of it, it did that a lot with Rowana and Lia, but not so much with Keira. Well, it would be hard for Boxxy to fault it for a love of chests, but that was clearly the wrong type of chest it had in mind. Still, at least it wouldn't get in the way of what was to come.
Using Nexus Access, Boxxy was instantly transported to the highest point of the dungeon. It was still within the tree, so it used Terrain Sculpting to make its way out of it, much like before. It broke through the bark, and found itself standing in the lush canopy of the Hylt tree. The outrageously sized branches and leaves blocked out the view of the night sky, and an unobstructed line of sight to all three moons was a necessary component of the ritual. It therefore started climbing upward, until it reached a suitable place where there were no leaves overhead, and a relatively flat branch was underfoot. The world's three moons - Yoitis, Laopra and Tascuna - were all visible in the night sky, making the monster's surroundings nearly as bright as daylight.
"Boss, I'm done with the termites," came Kora's timely report. "I'm on my way to- Ah, you're out of the dungeon! I can't get to you with Nexus Access!"
"That's okay, I'll just re-summon you."
It didn't plan on wasting MP for that, but it couldn't be helped. After dismissing and calling back Kora to its side, it started preparing for the long-awaited Unholy Wealth ritual, although with a bit of apprehension. It was still sure to have some catch to it, as most demon-related things did, but the knowledge from Demonology clearly stated that this particular ceremony would call forth an object rather than a creature. How bad could a non-sentient item really be, right?
Boxxy had of course tried asking its familiars if they knew anything about it, but they only shook their heads. Perhaps that Beholder it met weeks ago might know, but it was far too late to go looking for it. Besides, there's no way it would just cooperate with a mortal unless ordered to, so it was a pointless effort from the get-go.
The Mimic reached into its Storage and started pulling out all of the ingredients and tools necessary for this ceremony. They consisted of a single Elixir of Avarice, an Alchemist's mortar and pestle set that appeared to be made out of white marble, a single 6-centimeter long mithril nail, a small hammer, 5 gold coins, a plain wooden goblet carved out of oak, a Pure Pearl that had been tainted by demonic essence and a Midnight Ruby.
Well, there was one problem, actually. The 'tainted' Pure Pearl had returned to its white, clean state over the long months it had sat idly by inside the monster's Storage, which was why Boxxy needed Kora's assistance. It handed her the gemstone, and told her to infuse it with her essence. The fiend didn't quite understand at first, but Boxxy explained she just had to have it in her body and focus her mana on it. The fiend then popped the thing in her mouth and rolled it around a bit on her tongue while thinking really hard about it.
Her master, in the meantime, took the Midnight Ruby and started crushing it using the mortar and pestle. The specially designed tool seemed to have some sort of effect on the gem, seeing as how the monster could crush the red gemstone without any difficulty. It was almost as if the precious stone crumbled on its own with even the slightest push of the white pestle. It still took 15 minutes to reduce it into the right consistency necessary for the ritual. Satisfied with the results, it carefully dumped the sparkling fine powder into the goblet, making sure the shiny dust didn't scatter too much in the wind.
"Arms, are you done yet?"
"Dunno, lemme shee!"
Kora spit out the once-white Pure Pearl onto her hand to reveal it had been properly dyed black once more.
"This is good," declared Boxxy while taking it from her.
It briefly thought back on when it first obtained this reagent, wondering exactly why Snack had used her genitals to perform this act. Surely it was unnecessary, right? Well, it was an unimportant distraction, so the monster merely brushed it off as 'Snack being Snack.' Now that it had the re-corrupted pearl in its tentacles, it set it down on the wooden branch and pressed the tip of the mithril nail over it. It then gripped the hammer with a third appendage and firmly tapped the nail's head several times.
The pitch-black pearl was pierced and cracks spread through it. However, rather than fall apart like glass, it actually held itself together quite well. The insides, as it would appear, were actually filled with some gooey, viscous substance and the outer shell was surprisingly thin, almost like a sort of egg rather than a crystal bead. After confirming that everything was going as expected, the Mimic drove the mithril nail clean through the magical gemstone, puncturing it completely and causing an unidentifiable black liquid to drip out of it. Boxxy hurriedly put the skewered pearl into the wooden goblet, where its juices slowly began mixing with the pulverized Midnight Ruby.
The monster then arranged the 5 gold coins into a small pentagram and placed the simple cup right in the middle of it. Finally, it reached over and grabbed the bottle of Elixir of Avarice it had bought off an alchemist back in Erosa. This orange-colored magic potion supposedly allowed its user to literally sniff out any and all gold within 15 meters for a day. Boxxy didn't need this silly thing for itself since its magical perception was already more than capable of doing that, so it unhesitantly poured the contents of the bottle into the wooden goblet.
The orange-tinted liquid was quickly dyed blood-red by the powdered Midnight Ruby and started hissing ominously. The punctured pearl then floated just beneath the surface of the concoction, despite it being way too heavy to do so under normal circumstances. Boxxy shifted back into its 'Chester Underwood' persona for a moment, as the ritual required a humanoid appearance to complete successfully. Well, it could've used Keira's form to do it, but it wanted to avoid tipping someone off on the off chance it was being monitored somehow.
And now that the ritual site was properly set up, it deftly grabbed the mithril nail that was sticking out of the floating pearl and began slowly stirring the mixture with it while chanting.
"Suspendisse vitae maximus augue, eget porta ante. Nulla eget justo facilisis, sagittis massa in, euismod leo."
The make-believe elf's voice carried itself clearly through the otherwise quiet night. It was a good thing there was nobody who lived within almost a kilometer of its current position, otherwise someone would definitely notice its antics.
"Curabitur hendrerit libero quis mi finibus, a venenatis neque tincidunt. Pellentesque eleifend efficitur pulvinar."
The pure-white metal nail and pitch-black pearl both turned a deep crimson as they soaked up part of the liquid they were floating in.
"Aenean hendrerit dictum maximus."
Boxxy let go of the skewered jewel, which continued to make circular motions all on its own, and then stood up from its kneeling position.
"Suspendisse potenti Yoitis! Suspendisse potenti Laopra! Suspendisse potenti Tascuna!"
It lifted its head and arms towards the sky while shouting, as if begging each of the moons for a favor in turn.
"Cras eget mauris vulputate, bibendum sem sit amet, elementum felis!"
The five gold coins started vibrating and glowing with a bright yellow light while the skewered Pure Pearl levitated a few centimeters into the air. It had absorbed all of the liquid from the goblet and was glowing with an intense, bright-red light.
"Unc metus ullamcorper libero! Quis bibendum tortor urna nec orci!"
Boxxy felt the hair on its head stand on end along with an odd sense of dread, but the monster yelled out the last two words of the chant before it could process the significance of this peculiar sensation.
"Divitias eligo!"
A bolt of lightning struck the wooden goblet out of nowhere, causing Boxxy to leap out of the way with all its might while letting out a weird noise. It very nearly fell of the branch it was on, and had to shift back into its spider-legged chesty form in order to cling onto the sides of it.
"Boss, you okay down there?!" shouted Kora from somewhere above.
"Nobody told me there would be lightning involved!" yelled Boxxy. "I'll die for sure if I get hit by that! What the fuuuuck?! Why do these retarded rituals always try to kill me?!"
The monster let off a rather uncharacteristic string of complaints as it climbed up the side of the branch and back to where it was mere moments ago.
"I think that's sort of the point, boss," said Kora with a mocking smile on her face.
Her Master graciously ignored her unflattering tone and pointed its attention towards the place that mystical bolt of lightning had struck. The sturdy Ironbark-covered branch been charred black, a testament to that thunderbolt's power. The wooden goblet, gold coins and thoroughly expensive mixture had apparently fused together into a solid gold cup that looked shiny beyond belief.
A row of glowing red runes had been etched alongside its rim, while the rest of the vessel was covered in intricate golden carvings. They swirled, swiveled and wrapped around its surface seemingly at random with no beginning or end. A total of 12 black opal-shaped gems were evenly spaced out around its shining surface, while the inside of the goblet was coated by an off-white metal with a slight green hue to it. It held a dark red liquid that was oddly reminiscent of blood in its coloration.
And this item's name, although unknown to Boxxy at the time, was Profanus Gloria.
The Mimic stared at it intently, feeling a rather ominous aura coming from the object.
"Arms, does that shiny thing look cursed to you?"
Kora took a few steps forward and crouched down to get a better look. Her face twisted in confusion, but ultimately she couldn't tell.
"No idea. Sorry, boss. This is more that cock-gobbler's thing."
"I see."
However, Boxxy was more or less convinced there was a curse, as the magic oozing from it was foul and thoroughly un-tasty, very similar to how Fizzy's gauntlet was before she put it on. Although the curse seems to have mostly dissipated from it since then, the sensation it used to give off was almost identical to this goblet.
It was the 'almost' part that gave Boxxy pause. Looking at it closer, it would appear that the source of the curse was not the goblet itself, but the strange liquid it held. However, as the Mimic got closer, it found itself overcome with a very peculiar urge to drink the stuff in one go. That was clearly a bad idea, and yet its body yearned, craved for it.
"Uhm, boss?" said Kora while swallowing her saliva. "Can I get a sip of that?"
It would appear the fiend was no less influenced by this thing. Well, this was a good opportunity to test its effects, so the monster would allow her to-
"No! It's mine!" it shouted suddenly.
The fiend's face became twisted with rage when she heard them. It's a good thing the contract was in place, otherwise Boxxy would definitely have been attacked right now. The worst part of this scenario, however, was that those words were not its own.
"This delicious thing is all mine I tell you!"
It was extremely strange. No matter how much it tried, the wrong words kept coming out. Almost as if someone or something else was putting those words into its mouth. It was probably some strange effect of the curse itself, which demanded it be consumed post-haste. Quite the powerful effect considering both Boxxy and Kora had quite formidable MNT Attributes.
Of course, this whole thing was obviously a trap of some sort, so Boxxy had no intention of actually giving into those urges. It wanted Kora to drink up first and serve as a test subject, but it had no idea how to tell her. Ah, perhaps the telepathic link might work?
"Ignore what I said earlier and drink up."
Looks like it did.
"Don't mind if I do!" said Kora with a wide smile while licking her lips.
The fiend eagerly picked up the small gilded cup with both hands. It was quite hot to the touch - unsurprising considering this object had been created in a flash of lightning less than a minute ago. She placed the rim of the goblet against her mouth and tilted it so that the blood-like liquid flowed into it.
The strange substance seemingly sprang to life the instant it touched her lips, and every last drop of it forced itself down her throat in an instant. She coughed violently at the sudden oral invasion and instinctively grabbed her throat, letting the goblet fall to the ground with a metallic clatter in the process. Her entire consciousness was suddenly enveloped by a searing pain that flared up across her entire body all at once. It overtook her in a flash, snuffing her life out before she even got a chance to scream.
Your familiar has been banished.
Boxxy stared curiously at the body of its familiar that was still standing upright. The fact this cursed liquid appeared to be poisonous was hardly surprising considering the 'Unholy' part of the ritual, but it wondered how any of this could be considered 'Wealth.' That was when the demon's flesh started crumbling away, falling off her body in small bits and disappearing into nothingness before it even hit the ground. Several seconds later, Boxxy was made witness to the true effects of this curse.
For when all of Kora's skin and flesh had fallen off, all that was left of her place was a glittering, golden skeleton. The Mimic stared reverently at the macabre sculpture, captivated by its esoteric beauty. But alas, as something born of mana, the transformed skeleton ended up crumbling into bits and disappearing, leaving behind little more than a memory.
The monster cussed in frustration. It was really starting to get sick of all these disappearing shinies. First there was that wonderful treasure chest and now this strangely alluring golden skeleton. It knew why it had happened, but that didn't make the event any less unpleasant. Deciding it wanted a permanent golden skeleton, the monster turned its attention to the shiny cup Arms had dropped earlier. Not only did it not roll off the branch, but the cursed object had stood upright all on its own almost immediately after Kora dropped it. Not only that, but it had already refilled itself with the same cursed liquid that killed her.
Boxxy went up to the goblet and carefully picked it up. It felt an even stronger urge to chug the clearly deadly poison substance, but held itself back since it had seen its devastating effects firsthand. This thing turned bones to gold, and Boxxy, as a Doppelganger, did have a skeletal structure of its own. One that could be shifted around to a rather extreme degree, but a skeletal structure nonetheless.
Checking on its Demonology Skill, it realized it was currently at 96% of the way to Level 8. So close, and yet so far. Perhaps, as a product of the Demonology Skill, this cursed cup would provide it with the final bit of needed proficiency? Deciding it was worth the try, the Mimic leapt resolutely off the branch it was standing on and fell like a rock. It realized too late that it was holding a vessel with a liquid in it, but to its surprise the poisonous gunk did not leave the confines of the goblet. It was as if a transparent film was keeping it inside, no matter how much it sloshed around due to the extreme movements of the one holding it. In other words, the only way to drain this liquid from its container, was to drink it.
After falling for a while, Boxxy opened up a quartet of bat-like wings and directed its descent to a specific building on one of the upper branches of the Hylt tree it called home. The structure in question was an old, dilapidated warehouse the Mimic had scouted out earlier. It was the kind of place homeless bums might squat in. Even if the Republic was much better at taking care of the poor and downtrodden than the Empire, some people would eventually fall through the cracks, as it were. And those people would serve as perfect fodder for a certain murderous box's magical experiments.
The monster landed quietly on the sloped roof and peeked inside through a hole in it. Sure enough, it saw a trio of unfortunate elves that were huddled around a small metal bin that was on fire. Boxxy quickly moved in and relieved two of them of their worthless lives, while holding down the third one under its many-tentacled mass. The male elf struggled and tried to scream, but his protests were expertly restrained and muffled by the experienced man-handler.
The Mimic then brought forth the cursed item and the elf instantly stopped his struggling. His eye shone with a dangerous, almost lustful light as he beheld its glory. As expected, those with a low or non-existent MNT Attribute were even more susceptible to this thing's influence than Boxxy or Kora. The homeless man in question was proof enough of that, as he was obviously more interested in drinking from the shiny cup rather than preserve his own life. Well, the former was the whole reason Boxxy came down here, so not only did it let him drink - it practically force-fed him the contents of that gilded goblet.
The man let out a gurgled scream and clawed at his chest, then stopped moving entirely. The molten gold tears that poured out of his unmoving eyes and the shining teeth in his mouth revealed that the Unholy Wealth had taken effect. Looking inside his body, Boxxy was also able to confirm his bones had turned into the same metal it coveted so.
Proficiency level increased. Demonology is now Level 8. WIS +2. MNT +2.
Finally! Not only did Boxxy obtain a way to get more shiny things, but it had also-

Johannesburg- Actress and singer, Ntombi Mzolo is praying for a miracle when she gives birth to her baby boy this morning.
Two months ago, the Shikisha presenter's unborn baby was diagnosed with a rare heart condition called Hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
This means that the left side of the heart hasn't fully developed, and as a result, it can't effectively pump blood. Because of the defect, the right side of the heart has to pump blood to both lungs and the rest of the body.
Speaking to The Juice, Ntombi explained that pregnant women whose babies are diagnosed with this condition are usually advised to terminate the pregnancy, as the survival rate is very low.
The day Ntombi's life changed
Ntombi explained that during a routine check-up with her gynaecologist, a scan picked up that her baby's heartbeat was not normal.
"I was seven months pregnant, and had visited three different gynaecologists before a proper diagnosis was made. They told me that this is a very rare condition, especially in South Africa," Ntombi explained.
Adding, "I was in complete shock when doctors first told me. My husband was out of the country at the time and I struggled to sleep for days."
Ntombi added that doctor's explained that her baby has been surviving through her, but unfortunately wouldn't survive more than a month once she gives birth.
"Doctors advised me to terminate my pregnancy, or to give birth to my baby and watch him die naturally... but this was not even an option for me. I couldn't choose to kill my child," said an emotional Ntombi.
Ntombi chooses to remain positive
Ntombi says that out of the three options she was given, she chose to carry her baby to full term, and has placed his life in God's hands.
"Doctors will give me 30 minutes to bond with my son after I give birth (today), and then he will be rushed into theatre for heart surgery. It kills me to think of my tiny baby going in for surgery, but I believe in miracles," she said.
Ntombi explained that even though doctors have told her that this type of surgery has a low success rate, she is leaving everything up to God.
Praying for a miracle
"Even though I'm worried, I'm excited to meet my son. Ever since I was told about his condition, I've tried to remain calm and positive, and have lived my life as normally as possible because I believe that through God, anything is possible. It's not up to me to decide his fate, but up to God," Ntombi said.
Ntombi hopes that by her sharing her story, it would give other women going through similar challenges hope.
"I have learnt to be positive, to remain calm and to let go of things that aren't in my control. All I can do is be positive so that this positive energy transfers to my baby as well," she added.

These new offerings—two entry level and two intermediate—let school districts to take advantage of the features and benefits of the Altinex Showtime capabilities while operating within today's budgets.
- Altinex Showtime AV Presentation Systems make the process of using audio-visual equipment in the classroom easy and intuitive. The companies say that the comprehensive, turnkey AV solutions are designed to provide educators with a powerful, yet affordable, multimedia-rich classroom experience. By making two entry-level and two intermediate systems available, Altinex now affords educators the opportunity to integrate existing equipment—such as loudspeakers—into their AV presentation setups, thereby eliminating any duplication of equipment and minimizing expenses in the process. Most importantly, all four new systems are field upgradable to larger setups with additional subassembly purchases, enabling school districts to maximize their AV investment as finances permit.
With the new Showtime 800/900 entry-level systems, Altinex provides two means of acquiring the "bare essentials" of a modern AV presentation system. These packages include the Showtime controller, a VGA/Audio input wall plate, a Composite Video/Audio input wall plate (System 900 only), and an interface box. Switching occurs at the projector. Audio is handled by the projector or by a secondary amplifier but is controlled via RS-232 through the controller. As with all Showtime systems, all system components communicate and are powered through low cost UTP/Cat-5 cable.
The Altinex intermediate packages (Showtime 1100/1200) are integrator models and provide the essential electronics while forgoing the loudspeakers, most cabling, sensors, and accessories that are provided in the company's larger systems. Both the Showtime 1100 and 1200 systems include the Showtime controller, a switcher, a VGA/Audio input wall plate, a Composite Video/Audio input wall plate (System 1200 only), and select cables. Both packages also provide a 30 watt amplifier as well as a line level audio output—facilitating seamless integration with existing loudspeaker systems. Additional features of these intermediate systems include automatic signal sensing, IR (infrared) projector control, and the ability to raise/lower the projection screen. Further, the Showtime 1100 and 1200 systems also incorporate Altinex' popular Room Combine feature, enabling two Showtime systems in adjacent rooms (such as a partitioned multipurpose room) to be operated independently as separate and discreet systems or joined together so one system controls both rooms and shares source devices.

A common space for harmonic peacemakers
"Water Lilies," 1895 by Isaac Levitan
"Everywhere transience is plunging into the depths of Being… It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again, "invisibly," inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible."
Rainer Maria Rilke, writing to his Polish translator about writing the "Duino Elegies."

'we are the bees of the invisible' .. thank you Nada..

Cerebos Asia Pacific and JKR, a brand consultancy together have partnered and re-launched the Brand's visual identity, including its flagship "Essence of Chicken" range. This is to create a modernised visual brand language across various touch points.
The new visual equity for Brand's – an essence droplet – captures the idea of a healthy body and a sharp mind, thus reflecting the potency, efficacy and naturalness of its product. The new brand language is currently being implemented across in-store collateral to television commercials in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Myanmar. It will be additionally extended to Hong Kong , Vietnam and Indonesia later this year.
"We ensured that the design reflected the new brand image across all of its sub-brands", explained Jason Glassick, executive creative director at the agency.
"The new brand language retains the best of Brand's, whilst advancing it forward for a new generation", added Gio Chan, senior manager, consumer and shopper design at Cerebos Asia Pacific.

text: Page Content Log road and bridge near New Bern, ca.1900s (courtesy of The State Archives of North Carolina) The Good Roads Movement began in the late 19th century as a diffuse nationwide call for better roads and bridges "to get farmers out of the mud." It had grassroots origins that varied in intensity from region to region. The areas of greatest activity were in the Northeast and Midwest, but it was also strong in the countryside surrounding urban areas in the South. Like many progressive reforms, its strongest proponents were middle-class professionals who believed that they could remedy poverty with government programs that improved the infrastructure—sewer, water, parks, hospitals, clinics, schools, and roads and bridges. Good roads and bridges, the reformers claimed, would end rural isolation and lower transportation costs for farmers and small rural manufacturers. First bridge built under supervision of State Highway Commission, carrying NC 42 over the Tar River in Edgecombe County, 1916—erected by the Roanoke Bridge Company for $15,641.81 (North Carolina Roadways, January-February 1951) The Good Roads Movement had a profound impact on the history of road and bridge building in North Carolina. It awakened the state's business and political leaders to the idea that bad transportation infrastructure was an ingredient of rural poverty. Reformers gathered evidence that improvements would decrease shipping costs and thus boost the state's agriculture and industry. The Good Roads Movement first showed itself in scattered local road and bridge projects, especially in counties such as Buncombe and Mecklenburg that had a large town or city. Some county commissions, once reluctant to raise taxes or invest heavily in roads and bridges, now found reason to do so. They built roads surfaced with crushed stone (macadam), sand-clay, gravel, concrete, and asphaltic materials. They also contracted out to build bridges.Many other North Carolina counties, however, especially those in isolated rural areas of the mountains and coast, found they did not have the resources necessary to improve their roads and bridges. This convinced many reformers that the federal and state governments should play a role in the financing and construction of statewide highway systems. 6/7/2019 6:03 PM

Iraq (pronounced /iːˈrɑːk/ or /ɪˈræk/, Arabic: العراق Al-Irāq), officially the Republic of Iraq (Arabic: جمهورية العراق (help·info) Jumhūrīyat Al-Irāq, Kurdish: كؤماری عهراق, Komara Îraqê, Neo-Aramaic: ܥܸܪܵܩ) in OTL is a country in Western Asia spanning most of the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range, the eastern part of the Syrian Desert and the northern part of the Arabian Desert.
Iraq is bordered by Jordan to the west, Syria to the northwest, Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to the south. Iraq has a narrow section of coastline measuring 58 km (35 miles) on the northern Persian Gulf. The capital city, Baghdad (Arabic: بغداد Baġdād), is in the center-east of the country.
Two major rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, run through the centre of Iraq, flowing from northwest to southeast. These provide Iraq with agriculturally capable land and contrast with the steppe and desert landscape that covers most of Western Asia.
Historically, the territory comprising Iraq was known in Europe by the Greek toponym 'Mesopotamia' (Land between the rivers). Iraq has been home to continuous successive civilizations since the 6th millennium BC. The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is identified as the cradle of civilization and the birthplace of writing and the wheel.
Throughout its long history, Iraq has been the center of the Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hellenistic, Parthian, Sassanid and Abbasid empires, and part of the Achaemenid, Roman, Rashidun, Umayyad, Mongol, Safavid, Afsharid, Ottoman and British empires. The Kingdom of Iraq was founded in 1932.
Beginning with an invasion in 2003, Iraq came under military occupation by a multinational coalition of forces, mainly American and British.
Sovereignty was transferred to the Iraqi Interim Government in June 2004. A new Constitution of Iraq was then approved by referendum and a new Government of Iraq was elected. As of March 2010, 96,000 US troops remain in the country. There is a deadline for the full withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq by 31 December 2011.
Alternate versions of Iraq have been discovered in the multiverse:
- Iraq (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)
- Iraq (Scotland says "Yes")
- Iraq (Vegetarian World)
- Islamic Republic of Iraq (An Independent in 2000)
- Republic of Iraq (President McCain)
Iraq has also been discovered to belong to other nations:
- Hashemite Kingdom (Dai-tō-a)
- Republic of The Middle East (Sino-Roman)
- State of Southwestern Asia (Zhou)
- United Arab Republic (Nasserism in Arabia)
- United Arab Republic (Great Nuclear War)
Iraq also plays a prominent role in the following timelines:

I am using motext, on a spline around a ring with a spline effector making the text follow the circular spline.
Got that far and hit a road block as I can't figure out how to then take the text and use a boole to subtract the text from the ring.
I have attached a screenshot of how I have everything set up thus far. Thank you everyone.

You are able to activate cheats from the game itself or made by 3rd party software or hardware. Alternatively, you are also able to cheat or exploit by doing exploit to software bugs. The definition between exploit and cheat is actually a little bit different. Exploit can be defined as the use of glitches and software vulnerabilities in Roblox and it can be done by you to change the game or get a lot of points or money for an unfair advantage. However, Roblox wikia says that this action is categorized into a form of cheating.
Talk about exploit, it has some types which includes Lua bytecode, BIN injecting, Proto Conversion, Lua Wrapping, DLL Injection and Lag Switching. If you do an exploit, Lua Script Executor will be needed. You can buy this Lua Script Executor or you are able to make it by yourself.

I have two small garbage cans outside my sunroom window. I say small because back home our garbage cans are huge. These garbage cans are for every estate surrounding me [about 4-6].
A few days ago I noticed my service-man emptying them. It was a process, unlike our garbage trucks.
He was very small and adorned a yellow jumpsuit and straw hat. He dumped each can into his wheel-barrow and proceeded sifting through the waste. Separating paper and bottles to regular garbage. It was pretty disgusting to watch. Here I thought working at McDonalds was bad. This was the worst. Fermenting food, bugs, China juice, etc. Who knows where he takes his wheel-barrow.
So I've made some friends. Unfortunately no one who wants to pay me to learn English.
"Apple," I met her in the Longhua Park. It's a gorgeous park filled with trails and pagodas, and a giant concrete skull? Longhua park is directly behind my school. Apple and I met one day a few weeks ago. She wants to learn English, she is self taught. I am guessing she is right above the poverty line. She works in a factory making shoes with her brother. Apparently she was paid for ten years but it ran out? So her brother supplies her with 10 yuan a day. That's about 1.50 USD. 40 yuan a month? 5.50 USD a month? We've been meeting infrequently during the two hour rest period between 12-2PM here in China. I missed a few days and she said she brought me three oranges but had to eat them since I wasn't there. I treated her to a bubble tea one day and she was more than pleased.
I have become a regular at my favorite eggplant [qie-zi] place. You get a giant wooden bowl filled with rice and yummy eggplant for about 1.20 USD. The first night I strode in, one of the workers came over and starting talking to me in English. His English was not too bad. He's a migrant worker. He helps his friends run this small restaurant and upstairs is a hotel? They said a room is about 6 kuai. That comes to a .90 cents USD. Maybe something was lost in translation not sure. Anyway each time I go in they know exactly what I want. It's especially nice after I've had rotten teenagers not wanting to learn English. The other day we had shared some beers. We were talking government matters I realized I can't trust to talk about locals about such things. I was asking about a certain date in the '80s just as I was about to say what had happened someone came over and it completely terrified me. I thought he knew for sure what I was talking about. Then, all of sudden my friend says oh he wants to be your friend he wants to learn English.
I was relieved and I realized I should never under any circumstances mention any of that stuff. At first I thought this other person wanted to pay me to learn but again I get the same…"I want to be your friend and learn English, I have no money." Which is fine, I'm definitely not money hungry here. I reckon it comes with this territory.
I went out with my friends after Mandarin class on Friday. We went to a Uigher restaurant. Uighers are a group of people in Northwest China. They don't look Chinese they speak a Pidgin language of Mandarin and Arabic? They look Arab. Essentially it was a Muslim restaurant. The food was delicious we missed bellydancing because our timing was too early. We ventured on over to the beer garden in the area then to 3D bar. Our program had pretty much taken over the bar. We stayed until we had to get back on the subway before it closed.
It's been raining off and on for a few days. Maybe it's Monsoon season. I know Taiwan's getting a typhoon maybe we're having the leftovers.
Last night I just about swam home. I stopped at a dumpling place near my school and had dumplings and chao fen [fried rice]. It was delicious. After dinner I was strolling down the walks singing to myself and enjoying the light rain.
Out of nowhere the sky opened its mouth and took a giant dump of water on Longhua. I have never been caught in such a heavy torrential downpour. I kept my leisurely pace, wading through rivers. I definitely stopped caring that my feet were ridden with China juices.
Thankfully I got home and it poured all night off and on.
I love it! I love the rain!
My students are whipper snappers. I taught them "pound it" and they've been doing it with me in the halls, makes me proud. They like my class which is nice. Some classes are worse than others. Today I had a terrible class. I made them read the same sentence for about 7 minutes straight, out loud. Finally I explained the importance of learning English. How they will have great lives when they know both Mandarin and English. Their ears finally opened when I explained that to them. Hopefully next class they will be more keen on English.
Today starts off our 3 day holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival. You sit outside with your family eating mooncakes and gazing at our beautiful moon. At least that's what I like to think you do.
Next week we get from October 1-7th. I'm going to Yangshuo and Guilin. I've heard about these cities lots. The scenery looks gorgeous, the mountain ranges and lakes. This will be my first "backpacking" trip. I'm bringing nothing but my backpack and purse. No laptop. I will have a phone. I'm getting a one way ticket there. I will have to buy my one way ticket back once I arrive. I am also staying in hostels. So excited.

Just like us, dogs can develop fears and phobias about things that make them worried or uncomfortable. To us, it can seem irrational but to them, it's very real and scary and can cause them to react with aggression even if this isn't their usual nature. Socializing your dog early when they're young and utilizing the help of a professional dog trainer can both help. If you're getting a dog, here are a few common phobias in dogs to be aware of, and how to prevent them.
Fear of travel and transport
For some dogs, riding in the car is so much fun. But for others, it can be a massive source of stress and anxiety. This can be a problem if you want to take your dog on trips with you, or even when you need to take him to places like the vet. The issue might be when you're on walks, some dogs can fear things like cars, buses and bikes whizzing past, and others might try to chase them. Taking your pup on lots of car rides and taking him out on public transport when he's young is the best way to prevent this from happening. Plan for some adventures with your pooch where you get out on public transport so he can get used to the sights and smells and you can teach him how to act appropriately.Help your #dog live a healthy life free of these common fears. #doggielove #petparent #dogownershiptips Click To Tweet
While your dog might be fantastic with you and the people in your household, it's quite common for them to be fearful of strangers. This can be particularly problematic if you don't have many visitors if you don't take your dog around others. Perhaps you work funny shifts so usually walk your dog at night when there are not many people around, or maybe you live in a more remote area. The problem is when they do need to interact with people, fear can easily become aggression. Whether you need to use boarding kennels or a dog walker when you go away or if you need to visit the vet, your dog being aggressive or fearful with others certainly isn't an idea. Start small, take him on walks where there are other people around until he's comfortable. Eventually, introduce someone new, have a visitor come to your home. If there are any signs of aggression this will need to be done by a professional dog trainer. You could use a dog muzzle for barking which will help with both barking and preventing biting when there are other people around.
Other Dogs
While dogs are pack animals, there are many that plainly don't like other dogs. In some cases, it might be that they need to be introduced properly which is where a professional comes in. Sometimes, due to things like aggression (even when it's only occasionally such as food/ resource aggression) or fear, some dogs will need to be kept as only pets. It's still definitely worth working with a trainer here, even if you won't be socializing your dog with others ideally they will need to be able to walk past other dogs in the street on walks without too much stress.
What are some fears and phobias that your dog has?

Woof Whiskers Rating - 9/10
CANIDAE's "All Life Stages" recipes are nothing to write home about. However, the limited ingredient and grain free lineups are a huge jump. We suggest these recipes – not because they are grain free – but because the ingredients are significantly better resulting in improved nutrient analysis.
Canidae is a premium, holistic pet food line that is marketed as "pet food made by pet people." The company has been manufacturing quality pet foods for over twenty years, and has since its founding has rapidly spread all over the country, and even across the ocean, finding itself on the shelves of some of America's largest pet retailers alongside a number of other quality dog and cat foods.
For this review, we will analyze CANIDAE Grain-Free PURE Elements with Lamb but take into account their whole product line (grain free, PURE, all life stages, etc).
- 10 INGREDIENTS or LESS: Limited ingredients crafted from 7-10 real foods in each bag of dog food, giving...
- GRAIN FREE FOR DOGS WITH SENSITIVE STOMACHS: There's nothing questionable in a bowl of Canidae PURE....
- HEALTHPLUS IN EVERY BITE: Probiotics added to every kibble after cooking to support healthy digestion,...
Quality of Ingredients
The Canidae company takes great pride in the fact that their ingredients all come from human grade high quality proteins, fruits, and vegetables and all of their formulas are made here in the United States at USDA, FDA, and AAFCO-approved facilities. The company also strives to buy from local producers as often as possible, and promises that they never use any artificial preservatives in any of their foods.
Some pet owners, however, have commented on the unusually high amount of rice that is in each bag, which has been known to cause problems for some dogs. The company defends this choice, however, by saying that this allows for easier digestion, especially in older or more food sensitive animals, and as a result many owners are willing to overlook this for the many benefits that the food otherwise offers.
Full Ingredients and Analysis
Analyzing the first 10 ingredients in a dog food is a great way to understand the overall nutrient content of the dog food because AAFCO requires all dog food ingredients to be listed in order of predominance by their weight. Here's a closer look at what's inside CANIDAE Grain-Free PURE Elements with Lamb.
Full Ingredients:
Lamb, Turkey Meal, Chicken Meal, Sweet Potatoes, Chickpeas, Peas, Chicken Fat, Menhaden Fish Meal, Potatoes, Sun-cured Alfalfa, Natural Flavor, Minerals (Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Manganese Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite), Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid), Choline Chloride, Dried Enterococcus Faecium Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Casei Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Plantarum Fermentation Product, Dried Trichoderma Longibrachiatum Fermentation Extract, Mixed Tocopherols (A Natural Source of Vitamin E).

CANIDAE Product Line
Canidae has several lines available to its name, and also manufactures canned food and treats to supplement and add variety to every meal. They also make use of a number of unique sources of protein, such as wild boar, rabbit, or mackerel, and several varieties are even made with a multi-dog home in mind, meaning they are good for pets of all ages and sizes.
All Life Stages
All Life Stages is the primary seller of the Canidae line, and as the name suggests it is suitable for all dogs, from puppy to adult. This formula is also great for owners with several dogs, as it is something of a one food fits all kind of deal, suitable for animals all across the canine spectrum. These foods are also all made without any corn, wheat, or soy, and there are also dedicated large breed and large breed puppy blends, to help provide those extra vitamins and minerals bigger dogs need to keep on going
Under the Sun
Under the Sun is a grain free, potato free blend that comes in a variety of flavors, with different bags made specifically for dogs of different sizes and life stages. The addition of wholesome fruits and vegetables, as well as a high-quality source of protein are the staples of this diet, and it serves as a strong alternative for those who objected to the high rice, low veggie content of other lines but still wanted to stick to the Canidae brand. This food also has several vitamins and supplements mixed in for an added kick to keep your four-legged friend as happy and healthy as possible.
Grain Free Pure
This is probably the healthiest of the three main lines of Canidae dog foods and focuses on using only 10 key ingredients in every bag, making it ideal for older dogs or dogs who have food sensitivities. Pure foods also come in a wide variety of flavors, and are manufactured specifically to meet the demands of dogs at different life stages and of different sizes, with separate bags available for each category. Pure also has a weight management blend, and the company promises that fresh meat is the first ingredient in every bag, with all of their proteins coming from antibiotic, hormone free sources.
About Canidae
Canidae was first founded in 1997, and the first batches of food were delivered to local pet stores in the back of pickup trucks by family members who are still a part of the company to this day. As the company continued to grow and expand, they quickly came to realize that they might need help in keeping up with the demand for their product, and so they brought in Diamond Pet Foods in 2005 to assist in their manufacturing process.
Canidae has since been able to produce their own foods in Canidae only facilities in Brentwood, Texas, but it still keeps Diamond on board. The company was also a part of a major Diamond food recall in 2012 because of this, although it was never found that any of their products in particular had been contaminated at that time.
Where to Buy
Canidae is widely available all across the United States, and can be found on the shelves of some other countries as well. The brand can be found both at specialty pet food stores, as well as in many of the larger chain retailers, such as Petco and Petsmart. For those who prefer to do their shopping at home, Canidae is also readily available online, and can be purchased from any of the online pet food retailers or through the company website.

Theme Day: Beauty of Decay
I like a good challenge.
When I find it, it will be posted.
33 comments:
this is great post for theme day and I look forward to seeing the other when you find it :)ReplyDelete
looking is half the fun, finding sometimes isn't funnyReplyDelete
That's a great combination of decay - and anti-decay! I hope you find the 'lost' headstone - I'm intrigued!!ReplyDelete
Surrounded by the beauty of nature, the object (a car?) takes on a different kind of beauty of its own.ReplyDelete
A perfect place to find some decay. When I visit Quincy Illinois, I make a stop at one of the cemeteries and there are always some very old graves that show signs of decay and neglect.ReplyDelete
Decay seems so natural in a cemetery...ReplyDelete
poor old stone...ReplyDelete
beautiful entry none the less!ReplyDelete
Decay so often means new lifeReplyDelete
Cool shot. Perhaps what you are looking for has totally decayed already...ReplyDelete
Nice choice for Theme Day!ReplyDelete
A quiet grace and beauty in this fallen headstone, great image for the day (and hoping you find the other one too).ReplyDelete
I guess nothing says decay like an overgrown cemetery and a fallen headstone.ReplyDelete
Dear Mr Birdman - How charming to read a little about you. I like this photograph and think it is great choice for today's theme. Kind Regards, Lauren of Coventry.ReplyDelete
Nice touch with the flowers all around. Decay and beauty.ReplyDelete
I hope someone puts it upright again.ReplyDelete
Beauty of spring in the midst of decay. A fallen headstone, how appropriate.ReplyDelete
Ah, you keep us in suspense.ReplyDelete
Above ground and below--different kinds of decay in progress.
In a cemetery, it's decay of decay..like a second death.There's something very moving in this idea.ReplyDelete
It must have decayed right on out of sight.ReplyDelete
I thought it was an old car at first. You and I were on the same wavelength today Bird.ReplyDelete
Keep looking.
I hate seeing toppled gravestones. Such disrespect!ReplyDelete
Lots of decay in cemeteries. Above and below the ground!ReplyDelete
Beautiful shot, with sweet little flowers all around :) I hope you find the one you're looking for!ReplyDelete
You may not have found what you were looking for, but I like the "ersatz" picture a lot!ReplyDelete
P.S.: Have you ever managed to catch a picture of Heidi Klum? ;-)ReplyDelete
Beautiful shot. Keep walking and you may find what you are looking for. Then again...................................................ReplyDelete
oooh, at first i thought it was a car!!ReplyDelete
i love such cemeteries...
Love this shot!!! Love the delicate flowers engulfing the decay of the old car!!!ReplyDelete
Nature is winning!ReplyDelete
Perfect image for the theme Birdman.ReplyDelete

Jennifer Aniston is tired of addressing rumours that she and fiance Justin Theroux have called of their wedding.
Aniston, 44, and Theroux, 41, got engaged in August last
year and the absence of a wedding almost a year after the
engagement has led to many tabloid stories, reported E!News.
But Aniston, who plays the role of a stripper in upcoming
comedy We're The Milliers, is irritated to be at the centre
of such stories.
"Well, there was no wedding planned! Let me just say this
about that. Do you realize that the majority of all of those
tag rags are loaded with absolute false information?," Aniston
"They like to create the stories, because it's not
interesting, the story of we're really happy and in love and
feel like we're married and eventually we're going to get
married when we find the time," she said. "I don't think
there's a rush."
Aniston says her personal life is not so entertaining
unless it is coloured by a scandal.
"It's a drag that they sort of have to paint this horrible
negative picture and it's just to sell magazines. And it's a
bummer because it's not true. I was supposed to have it (the
wedding) in March I think. I'd like to be a part of this
plan!," Aniston said.

If I Don't Do Anything Else
Yesterday morning Paul said to himself. "I've got to write that economics paper today. If I don't do anything else, I've got to write that paper. "
He sat down at his desk and put a sheet of paper into his typewriter. He looked out of the window, ate a piece of candy, got up to get a drink of water, brushed his teeth, and sat down at his desk again.
"I haven't written my family since Thanksgiving," he said to himself. "I'll write them a letter first. "
Paul wrote his family a long letter. "My typewriter needs a new ribbon. I've got to change this ribbon before I write my economics paper."
The ink from the typewriter ribbon got his hands very dirty, so he washed them and washed them. While he was washing his hands, he noticed that his fingernails were much too long. He cut them very carefully and then went back to his desk. He put a sheet of paper into his typewriter . looked out of the window, and looked at his watch. It was noon.
"I'll get some lunch now," he said to himself. "After lunch I'll write that paper, if I don't do anything else. "

A Break in the Routine
Jonathan Rivers lived alone in a neat, two-storey, semi-detached housein Compton Street. Like many bachelors approaching middle age, be was getting rather set in his ways. He caught the same train to London every morning, ate his lunch in the same crowded restaurant near the office where he worked and always came home on the 6. 00 train. People were so used to seeing Jonathan set off at a quarter past eight, dressed in a. sjmple dark suit. wearing a black bowler hat and carrying a rolled umbrella on his arm, that they said you didn't need to wear a watch if you lived in Compton Street.
Ever since Jonathan had set up house in Compton Street, he had looked after it very carefully. He worked hard in the garden every Sunday and set out to impress the neighbours with his flower beds and lawn. Before he left the house in the mornings, he carefully closed all the doors downstairs, opened some windows to let the air in and locked the front door. Everything Jonathan did was tidy and systematic.
One summer evening Jonathan returned home as usual at five minutes to seven precisely.When he opened the front gate he immediately noticed something strange. There was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the ftower beds. Jonathan was just going to blame the milkman or the postman when he noticed that one of the white lace curtains in the front room downstairs was out of place. Jonathan never left anything out of place.
He walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. He listened carefully for a few moments but could hear nothing. The front-room door was halt-open. Jonathan studied it thoughtfully, wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. He had never forgotten before. He stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. The shadow of a man was clearly reflected on the far wall in the evening sunlight. He had obvioasly been standing behind the door since Jonathan's return. ]onathan grabbed the door-handle, sla;nmed' the door and turned the key. Then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall and set about calling the police.
The burglar, a tall, thick-set, bearded fellow, tried to climb through a window to get out but )onathan had expected'that. He set about him with his umbrella, using it like a swoid. Three minutes later the police arrived on the scene. Jonathan was a little annoyed that he had to have dinner laterthan usual but on the whole he felt quite pleased with himself.
