For those of you with Hobbit fever Miramar is putting on a bunch of things over the next couple of weeks to celebrate the last movie. It kicked off last night and is worth a visit. Kirsty from the Miramar Business Improvement District asked me to pass on the details. I covered the first to Lord of the Rings movies as a freelance writer, then predictably, got blacklisted by New Line Cinema, but, that's another story.
"In conjunction with the Miramar BID, I have been helping out with the Miramar Events Trust, which has recently been set up to promote and arrange Community Events. We are supporting the Ian Brodie Exhibition and the 3D light show which has been arranged by the team at the Roxy and supported by a range a companies as listed. Below is some info about Exhibition and the 3D outdoor Projection show starting this Monday."
FREE Light Projection Show at the Roxy Cinema, 5 Park Road Miramar
Middle Earth will be brought to life on the front of The Roxy building every night, as a state of the art projection show will play multiple times a night just after sunset FOR FREE. This will kick off on at 9pm on December 1stand finish on December 12th, as we count down to the NZ release of the film – The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. This amazing light show lasts 10-15 minutes and plays several times – so you can see it after a dinner or movie inside! Showcasing the breath-taking special effects created by WETA Workshop and WETA Digital using sound and projection, the presentation follows the film's characters and creatures on their adventures through the first two films leading up to the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Bringing in a whole new era of animated entertainment in the friendly Wellington suburb of Miramar, and using the beautiful details of the Roxy facade as a canvas, you will be wowed. This event is to celebrate the talent and the passion from all residents and workers on the Peninsula, as we bring the community together to begin the countdown. An occasion for friends, filmies and the whole family -the plaza will become your new favourite outdoor area, where you can enjoy drinks and nibbles from CoCo at The Roxy; as you watch the sun set and the story of The Hobbit rise on The Roxy Cinema.

The 18 Best Firefox Quantum Extensions
The latest version of our favorite web browser changed how it handles add-ons, so you need new ones.
Last year, Mozilla gave Firefox the upgrade it deserved. Firefox Quantum offered a new and improved interface, faster page loading, better use of memory, integrated screen shots, and story saves via Pocket, which Mozilla acquired in 2017.
Quantum also pretty much killed off Firefox extensions as we know them. That's because the old extensions had too much power. A bad extension could bring the whole browser to its digital knees—a bad look, security-wise. Several years ago, Mozilla introduced WebExtensions, a programming interface for developers that limited extensions, but still gave them some juice. As of Quantum, the only extensions supported are those created with WebExtensions—the older ones don't work.
So if you upgrade to the latest Firefox (version 58 as of this writing), you need to get all new versions of your favorite extensions. Many just won't get an upgrade, and you'll have to find something new.
If you're new to Firefox, or perhaps returning after an extended hiatus, now's the time to start clean with Quantum and grab the newest add-ons. That term encompasses the productivity extensions and the interface-enhancing themes you can grab for free to personalize the look of the Firefox menu bar. If you ever want to disable, uninstall, or change options on one, type about:addons in the Firefox address bar and click Extensions.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — In just under eight months, downtown Minneapolis will be the center of one of the biggest media and sporting events in the world — the Super Bowl.
Renderings provided by the Minnesota Super Bowl Committee show massive crowds on Nicollet Mall attending concerts and other events.
Right now, however, Nicollet Mall remains a major construction site.
In the days leading up to the big game, Nicollet Mall will be hosting Super Bowl Live, a multi-day event expected to attract up to a million visitors.
Steve Cramer, the president of the Downtown Council says, there's no reason to worry about the current construction.
"Downtown is really going to be great for the Super Bowl," he said.
Amid the construction, there is evidence of businesses upgrading.
Both the Minneapolis Hilton and the Nicollet Mall Target are being renovated, and the Downtown Council is working on recruiting new businesses to fill empty stores.
A Nordstrom Rack will open this fall in the IDS tower and a downtown business veteran, Jack Farrell, is opening a wine bar in August.
"I have always felt a wine bar would do very well downtown," he said.
Farrell, who has owned the downtown Haskell's store for 47 years, is taking over the nearby space that was once Dunn Brothers Coffee.
It's been empty for over a year.
"We will be ready for the Super Bowl," he said.
Farrell is not so sure about the rest of downtown. He says "it's wishful thinking" that the mall construction will be done and new businesses moved in by February.
But Cramer insists that downtown and the Nicollet Mall will be ready.
"It's all going to be done," he said. "You can take it to the bank."
As for the biggest empty spaces in downtown, like Macy's and Barnes and Noble, the Downtown Council says it's likely those will host temporary pop-up stores that will carry NFL merchandise.

Being a part of the 261 community is a full-circle moment for Erica. One of her first relatives to migrate North from the South made her home on Pacific Street, beginning a family legacy of public school teachers. More than 21 years ago, Erica joined this legacy as a teacher in District 17. She has taught both lower and upper grades, served as an instructional coach in schools across Brooklyn and Manhattan, and worked as a school-based and centrally-based administrator. In 2014, after teaching for 15 years at PS 234 in Manhattan, she became the school's Assistant Principal, leading the development of their social studies curriculum, math instruction, and social-emotional program. More recently, during her tenure as an Instructional Lead at Brooklyn North Borough Office, Erica supported instruction across multiple schools and districts, working alongside superintendents and principals, and working directly in classrooms. Erica has spent much of her career supporting academic instruction, instructing teachers on ways to bring inquiry into their classrooms, and leading workshops to help parents learn how to better support children at home.
Erica has also worked with Marilyn Burns as a math consultant for Math Solutions, which gave her the opportunity to support school districts across the U.S. A highlight from her undergraduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis is spending time abroad in Germany where she studied art history. She holds an M.S. in Education from Brooklyn College and an Ed. M. in Leadership from the Bank Street College Principals Institute where her research involved looking closely at how to better support boys in the early childhood classroom. Her passion for the arts comes from growing up in a noisy house in Michigan (three pianos, a drum set, a flute, a trombone, a clarinet, a violin, and a beloved stereo). She spent many nights steeped in the world of musicals, operas, symphonies, and jazz performances. Her days were spent digging up clay from the earth and gathering leaves to sculpt little creations and make paper. Aside from baking cookies with her many nieces, nephews, and cousins, she finds sitting in art galleries unbelievably relaxing.

Alex entered teaching via the NYC Teaching Fellows in 2004. He spent his first five years teaching for a Title I Elementary school, and from there moved to PS 321. At 321, Alex worked as a classroom teacher and also partnered with Metamorphosis, the Reading & Writing Project and the Math Collective to spearhead Professional Development work surrounding conferring, curricular development, and technology. Alex then moved into the role of Math Coach, where he has worked for the past 2 years to help expand the school's adoption of the ENGAGE curriculum, differentiated games and centers, and use of technology in math instruction – which included the creation of the math community website, www.ps321math.com. As Math Coach, Alex also taught in both upper and lower grade classrooms, collaborating with teachers to try to tease out those "aha" moments of joy in learning for students. Alex received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from NYU, his Masters in Elementary Education from Brooklyn College, and his School Building Leadership Certificate in Administration from Baruch College. He is a lover of great movies and great food. And above all – in his work inside and outside the classroom – an advocate for those "aha" moments of inquiry and discovery… and championing the ideas, the systems, and the practice that help them happen as much and as often as possible.

Deaths now outnumber births among white people in more than half the states in the country, demographers have found, signaling what could be a faster-than-expected transition to a future in which whites are no longer a majority of the American population.
The Census Bureau has projected that whites could drop below 50 percent of the population around 2045, a relatively slow-moving change that has been years in the making. But a new report this week found that whites are dying faster than they are being born now in 26 states, up from 17 just two years earlier, and demographers say that shift might come even sooner.
"It's happening a lot faster than we thought," said Rogelio Sáenz, a demographer at the University of Texas at San Antonio and a co-author of the report. It examines the period from 1999 to 2016 using data from the National Center for Health Statistics, the federal agency that tracks births and deaths. He said he was so surprised at the finding that at first he thought it was a mistake.
The pattern first started nearly two decades ago in a handful of states with aging white populations like Pennsylvania and West Virginia. But fertility rates dropped drastically after the Great Recession and mortality rates for whites who are not of Hispanic origin have been rising, driven partly by drug overdoses. That has put demographic change on a faster track. The list of states where white deaths outnumber births now includes North Carolina and Ohio.
The change has broad implications for identity and for the country's political and economic life, transforming a mostly white baby boomer society into a multiethnic and racial patchwork. A majority of the youngest Americans are already nonwhite and look less like older generations than at any point in modern American history.
In California, 52 percent of all children are living in homes with at least one immigrant parent, Professor Sáenz said.
"People say demographics is destiny and there'll be more people of color — all that is true," said Jennifer Richeson, a social psychologist at Yale University. "But they also say the U.S. is going to become more progressive, and we don't know that. We should not assume that white moderates and liberals will maintain current political allegiances, nor should we expect that the so-called nonwhite group is going to work in any kind of coalition."Demography is destiny.
Mass non-white immigration has consequences.
White genocide in the USA is real, and it seems to be state policy.

Varanasi Things To Do Guide to Travel, Ganges, Temples Ghats
Varanasi Things To Do Guide to Travel, Ganges, Temples Ghats
Varanasi Things To Do Varanasi Temple Painting
The ghats provide visitors not only with an insight into the culture and spiritual nature of the River Ganges, but also a genuinely fascinating sight from dawn to dusk. The ghats change with the sun, making them brilliantly photogenic and something that you will surely take with you past your period of travel. They are a spiritually enlightening spot where everything from birth to death is celebrated.
Funeral processions can be observed making their way to Varanasi's main ghat, Manikarnika, while hundreds show their respect and pray at the river. To view the ghats at their most beautiful, wonder down in the glowing morning light and take a boat ride along the river to see the pilgrims perform puja, a respectful prayer offering to the sun, though be wary that you might see a burning corpse at Harishchandra en route. The ghats are also spectacular at dusk when the last of the sun is sweeping over the city.
If organising a river trip, be sure to deal directly with the boatman instead of booking through your hotel or guesthouse as it is likely to be much cheaper.
Another great Varanasi sight is the Ramnagar Fort. Built in the 17th Century, the Fort and Palace show their age but are still as impressive as ever housing a fantastic and slightly eccentric museum within.
Other things to do in Varanasi include visiting the Chandraprabha Sanctuary which can be found to the southeast of the city. It can be a very romantic setting with numerous picnic spots amongst the dense forests and magnificent waterfalls. The Sanctuary is very popular amongst tourists in the peak season when the weather is at its best.
Lastly, Varanasi city is well known for its silk, so be sure to wonder the markets and shops for the famous Benarasi sari.
From engaging with the River Ganges rituals and traditions to roaming the large Fort and scouring the markets for silk, Varanasi is a place that will almost certainly stick with you for a lifetime. Find the best time of year to explore the spirituality of this wonderful city of Uttar Pradesh.

I have heard of the "terrible twos" and always pitied those poor mothers who had children throwing themselves on the floor in the middle of the grocery aisle. All the while, I was smugly thinking to myself, "I am so lucky my daughter is well-behaved—not like THOSE people's kid." It must be due to my good parenting, right? I must be more patient then THOSE mothers. It must be because I look my child in the eye and speak reasonably to her, right? She recognizes that I give her the respect she deserves and therefore, we have a well-paved, two-way communication street. Wrong!
Biz e-Baby1 will be three-years-old in eight days and, until a couple of weeks ago, I thought I had just breezed past the terrible-two phase and come out unscathed. Recently, I realized "three is the new two." It's sort of like morning-sickness which doesn't always have to be in the morning. You can get sick anytime. They just called it that because most people feel most sensitive in the morning. My morning sickness was at night, actually. Typically, it was after I'd get home from work and lay on the couch watching TV. But, I digress.
My child was a late-bloomer into the stage of terrible twos. But, I can tell you it is alive and well in her now. The emotion, the passion, the drama is all at a heightened state. One wrong move and she'll crumble like a house of cards. Whatever she asks for must be provided in the exact fashion she requested it or the world will come to an end. Sounds like a brat. I know. She really, isn't. Biz e-Baby1 is usually very affectionate. She likes to sit on my lap and cuddle or read. She bursts out with "Mommy, I love you," when I least expect it. She even has a maternal quality about her when it comes to looking out for her not-much-younger brother. It's just that these tantrums stem from such a deep desire to exercise her independence that it hurts. (I remember how badly I wanted to be able to drive and escape my family when I was 15. I wanted it so bad I could taste it but there was nothing I could do to change the fact that I had to wait a year. I imagine it hurts like that.)
The other day she told me she wanted frozen Tyson chicken fingers for dinner. I tried to explain that I would have to warm them up so she could bite into them, and her face changed. Just like that. Then, the tears came. Through the tears and kicking in her booster seat, she demanded that she wanted a frozen—not warm—chicken finger. So, I gave one to her. Elise ate it. I don't know if it was good, but she was satisfied that her wish had been granted.
My daughter can communicate very well, but she just can't speak as fast as her little mind is thinking. She longs to do things that big people do, but the reality is she is still too little to do most of what she wants. Last night, Biz e-Baby1 asked me to cover her feet in bed with a blanket. When I did it (wrong apparently), she said, "No, like THIS!"
God forbid, I flush the toilet after she uses the potty. That joy is reserved solely for the creator of bowl's contents. I have forgotten a few times, out of habit, and we had to have a "do-over flush" because of my mistake. The most common phrase I hear each day is, "I'LL DO IT!" — from feeding, to brushing teeth, to putting on shoes, to even working our DVD player; it must be controlled by her.
I try not to feed into the emotional outbursts when they occur, but sometimes ignoring her or exercising tough love only makes the fury grow inside her even more. It's clear she inherited my hot-head. That girl can go zero to sixty in 2.5 seconds. I don't want to create a behavior pattern that leads her to believe every time she acts out mommy will cater to her whims, but sometimes it is just easier to make the crying stop.
Does anyone know how long the terrible twos (now redubbed "terrible threes" in our home) last? I may need to stock up on wine.
P.S. I am sure some know-it-all parent with teenagers will comment that I should suck it up and tell me the terrible twos are nothing compared to the teen years. For that, I will stock up on Whiskey.

Principal's Message
Kay Kennard - Westwood Elementary from SBISD on Vimeo.
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to be the principal of Westwood Elementary. My love for teaching is a long one. I began my active role in education in high school as a member of our Future Teachers of America Association.
I served as our school's local and district Vice President. Our school also had an innovative program entitled Teaching Experience where I had the opportunity to teach elementary students part of the day. This experience provided me with the understanding of how much an individual can make a difference in a child's life.
After I graduated from high school I attended Sam Houston State University and received my bachelor's in education and master's in bilingual.
While in college, I was a member of our university's reading charter for three years by serving in various leadership roles including president. I have been a member of Phi Delta Kappa since 1996.
My professional teaching experience started in Conroe ISD as a classroom teacher for 10 years and 13 years of administrative experience in elementary and middle school in Spring Branch.
Throughout my career I have been involved in the development of TAKS by working with TEA, writing grants and curriculum, incorporating after school programs, creating programs to enhance parent involvement, serving as a gifted and talented lead, developing mentor programs, serving as a dyslexia teacher and consulting as a bilingual specialist.
This year's theme for Westwood is STARS: Striving to Achieve Rewarding Success!. We at Westwood believe that by reaching for the stars we provide a constant reminder that high expectations, hard work, and dedication allows our children to realize their potential.
I invite you to come and share the joy of learning in an elementary school which continually demonstrates excellence. I am looking forward to a year full of celebrations and accomplishments for our students.
Please feel free to contact me about any questions or concerns by e-mailing me at email@example.com.
I am honored to serve as the assistant principal at Westwood Elementary. In the past 22 years, I have been a Bilingual Kindergarten through 3rd grade Teacher, Elementary Math Specialist, and Assistant Principal in Spring Branch ISD. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Baylor University and a Master's in Education Administration through Prairie View A&M University.
I am excited about having the opportunity to work with a talented and caring group of professionals who are committed to our students. We are going to have a great year!

Lush and beautiful, Portland is known for its stunning landscapes, killer food scene, and
residents with a penchant for the weird. The vibrant city offers adventures of all
varieties, from striking architecture to quirky landmarks and everything in between.
Here's a list of the Rose City's most Insta-worthy destinations.
1. St. John's Bridge/Cathedral Park
The St. John's Bridge connects the St. John's neighborhood to North Portland. The city's tallest bridge, its architecture is marked by towering steel arches aged to a charming sea green color. Arguably, the better backdrop sits just below the bridge in Cathedral Park, where another series of Gothic arches supports the bridge.
N Edison St And Pittsburg Ave, Portland
2. World's Smallest Park/Mill Ends Park
No, it's not a joke — this adorable landscape is officially the world's smallest park. Just two feet in diameter, the tiny Mill Ends Park sits on the median of Natio Parkway near SW Taylor Street. The site has been listed in the city's official park registry since 1976.
56 SW Taylor St, Portland
3. Keep Portland Weird mural
Though Austin may have claimed the phrase first, Portlanders have most eagerly embodied the sentiment (arguably). The mural sits along W Burnside Street at 3rd Avenue, painted on the back of the lively performance venue, Dante's Inferno.
350 W Burnside St, Portland
4. Old Town Portland sign
The White Stag sign greets passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists crossing the Burnside Bridge from the east side of town. Originally a sign for White Satin Sugar, the structure has been through many iterations, and now is a designated historic landmark. During the holidays, the stag's nose is illuminated in red to ring in the season.
70 NW Couch St, Portland
5. Pittock Mansion
Adventurous visitors can hike to Pittock Mansion by following the Wildwood Trail; those with less time or ambition can drive to the historic structure. Book a tour of the mansion's interior for a small fee, or take in the city vista free of charge. On a clear day, Mt. Hood will make an appearance in the distance.
3229 NW Pittock Dr, Portland
6. Latte/coffee from a Portland coffee shop
A trip to Portland is incomplete without a visit to one of its many coffee shops. Baristas here know their stuff, offering plenty of opportunities to capture perfectly poured rosettas, tulips, hearts, and other latte art.

7. Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, colloquially called "The Schnitz," is most recognizable by its bright marquis and 65-foot "Portland" sign. Its interior is just as remarkable, featuring stunning crystal chandeliers, intricate ceiling details, and wool carpeting.
1037 SW Broadway, Portland
8. The Waterfront/Eastbank Esplanade
No matter the time of year, the Portland waterfront offers stunning views: the city skyline, a lineup of bridges, and — if your timing is right — an abundance of cherry trees in blossom.
SE Salmon St, Portland
9. Multnomah Falls
Though a bit outside the city, many Portland visitors make the short drive to take in Multnomah Falls. When conditions are favorable, visitors can walk the bridge passing over the falls. Height-averse spectators can enjoy the falls from the safety of the lower viewing deck.
50000 E Historic Columbia River Hwy, Bridal Veil
10. Powell's Books
Occupying an entire block, the flagship location of Powell's is called the "City of Books" for a reason. Rows upon rows of shelves hold books to fit any fancy, and many selections can be found in both new and used varieties.
1005 W Burnside St., Portland (click here for all locations)

Four new flights a week starting 28th October 2019
Emirates has announced it will increase the frequency of flights between Dubai and Cairo, adding four additional flights a week to its existing thrice-daily service, starting 28 October, 2019.
The four new flights operating on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, will take the total number of weekly Emirates flights serving Cairo to 25.
Said Orhan Abbas, Emirates' Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Africa: "Cairo is a very popular destination for both business and leisure travellers, and the additional flights will provide our customers with greater flexibility in their travel choices, and allow seamless connectivity to Emirates' vast global network.
"There is a clear demand for our award-winning products and services. We've seen a consistent demand for the Emirates experience, with passenger occupancy on the route averaging 90 per cent. These additional flights will not only cater to the growing demand, but also help support tourism and trade in Egypt,"
Similar to the current service, the new flights will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER in a three-class configuration.
Emirates A380 Sees Over 3000 Visitors at Saudi Int'l Airshow
For the calendar year 2018, Emirates SkyCargo transported over 35,750 tonnes of cargo including both exports of close to 19,750 tonnes and imports of 16,000 tonnes.
Close to 90% of the commodities exported from Cairo are fruits and vegetables.
The flight increase will bring about an additional 160 tonnes of cargo capacity per week to and from Cairo on top of the more than 800 tonnes of cargo capacity already provided on Emirates' flights.
Premium customers, and Platinum and Gold Skywards members can additionally enjoy the dedicated Emirates lounge in Cairo airport which opened in 2018.
Emirates started operations to Cairo in April 1986 with three flights a week. Operations have steadily grown with increases in both frequency and capacity between Cairo and Dubai to match customer demand.
Today, Emirates operates 21 weekly flights between Cairo and Dubai. Globally, the airline employs more than 2,000 Egyptian nationals in a variety of roles across the Emirates Group, including over 1,000 cabin crew.

Yoga for Kids
Children in poverty experience high levels of stress and anxiety. At Gilead House we're trying to help reduce the stresses of everyday life for the children who live here. Every Tuesday night during Life Skills, the kids are having an opportunity to learn yoga. Research has shown that yoga is a practical tool that helps minimize stress and regulate emotions and behavior. For children, yoga provides a healthy way to listen inwardly to their bodies, feelings, and ideas.

Once the divorce is final, and a child support order is issued, it is far from over because children will tie parents together for quite a few years and perhaps the rest of their lives. Divorced parents in Washington know that life goes on and circumstances change. Job losses, illnesses, remarrying and the increasing needs of children as they grow older may create the need for modified child support orders. Fortunately, the family law court understands this, and parents with documents to substantiate claims of changed circumstances may file petitions for modifications.
A custodial parent might need the noncustodial parent's help with occasional or once-off financial needs regarding their growing children. It could be braces, school camps, uniforms or needs for sports activities, and in cases that involve children with special needs, additional unanticipated expenses might arise. On the other hand, the paying parent might remarry and/or have employment issues or health concerns, which might make it impossible for him or her to maintain court-ordered child support.
Sometimes, one parent will learn about an inheritance or a significant income increase for the other parent, and it is not unusual for that to prompt a request to modify an existing child support order. With competent proof of a substantial change in circumstances, the court will consider modifications to child support orders. While the court might decide to make temporary or more permanent changes, each case is unique and depends upon the unique circumstances presented.
Washington parents whose circumstances have changed enough to create the need for child support modifications can discuss their concerns with an experienced family law attorney. A lawyer can explain their rights and the available options that will keep the focus on the best interests of the child. Legal counsel can then provide support and guidance throughout any ensuing legal proceedings.

Award-winning homes begin with an attitude of service.
Back in about 1993, when I met my future friend and colleague Ron Jones, he was building one-off custom homes in Albuquerque for well-heeled clients. At the time, we didn't use terms such as Net Zero or Passive House. Guys like Ron just knew how to build superior, energy-efficient homes: You use the best available materials and install them with precision and care—always keeping the future well-being of your client and future homeowners in mind.
Ron and his subs didn't need to carry around the Code book and try to squeak by, doing the bare minimum. They considered the Code more of a safety net than a cookbook.
Stay with me. Before I talk about this year's Green Home of the Year Award winners, let me ask you something:
Have you ever had the experience of opening up a wall or ceiling in an older home and finding a little "present" from the original builder? Maybe he penciled a date on the rafter or left a note about a renovation. He or she took pride in the work, and wanted to leave a legacy.
I've found these notes many times in my own renovation work. But there was also the OTHER kind of non-verbal messages: criss-crossed wires in a senseless tangle, missing insulation, poorly nailed rafters. The list of screw-ups is almost endless. The impression you get is that these contractors weren't thinking about the future owners of this home. On the contrary, they were thinking about finishing up early, loading up the truck and downing a few beers at the local sports bar.
In other words, great homebuilding and renovation is a mental exercise, above all.
Twenty years ago, I gave a speech comparing custom builders and production builders to Greeks and Spartans. The former group—focused on a long-lasting "legacy" project—delivers a superior house, energy efficient and beautiful. The latter—narrowly focused and creatively stifled—delivers a "just enough" home.
I should add that today, that comparison is no longer really fair. Many production companies have raised the bar to Net Zero and are building homes a citizen of ancient Greece could be proud of.
Which brings us to the award-winning sustainable homes featured in this issue. These are forward-looking projects, built to please the second, third and fourth owners, not just the immediate occupant. Beautifully designed and sited, they minimize the use of energy and water, yet also address the factors that cause the built environment to deteriorate and lose value: moisture infiltration, wear and tear, and poor indoor air control.
From a long-term perspective, what's really encouraging is that every one of this year's winners is built "beyond code," whether or not it's certified under a green building program. The principles applied in these stellar projects transfer without translation to every type of residential structure, from tiny homes to multi-story, multi-family apartments.
We're proud once more to present: the Green Home of the Year Awards.

Clearing The Way
|Clearing The Way
Preceded By:
|What's Yours is Mine
"Clearing The Way" is a quest given to the player by Katarina. The quest is completed predominantly in the Dark Cave.
Conditions[edit | edit source]
The following conditions must be met at the time of completing the quest "What's Yours Is Mine"
- Katarina is alive and at the workshop
- Dorottya is alive
This quest is not available if the player chooses to receive the Permanent Extra Minute reward from "What's Yours is Mine."
Completing The Quest[edit | edit source]
After a short cutscene, Dorottya and Katarina will go to the workshop yard and begin digging a tunnel. Entering the tunnel will cause Katarina to explain that they need the player to clear rubble from inside the cave to complete the tunnel.
The player must use the pickaxe on various cracks in the walls of the Dark Cave to clear the rubble. One piece of rubble will appear in each room of the Dark Cave on each sequential day after the quest has started. That is:
- On the first day of the quest, rubble will appear in the first room of the Dark Cave
- On the second day, rubble will appear in the second room of the Dark Cave
- ...and so on for all four rooms.
If at any time both Katarina and Dorottya are dead, the remaining days' rubble will not appear.
Rewards[edit | edit source]
There is no need to turn in the quest to Katarina or Dorottya. Clearing away rubble will automatically create a waypoint from town to that location.

Embodies fate and all aspects of destiny
Relative apperence alteration
Backstory: What, you expected the avatar of destiny to be all rosy and flowery and all that crap? fine, on some days it is but there are other times where destiny is evil and it is responsible for destroying the lives of antiheroes and for making the most evil villians known to fiction by setting the right events in place. so what does this have to do with this character? well... this is the form and name destiny takes in the Cursedwarriorverse but its power differs when in other verses. "Causia" is actually an avatar of destiny in the omniverse and as such did not originate from the cursedwarriorverse but simply chose a form there. Many heroes from other verses have proven destiny wrong and provided hope to others that it can be defeated.

January 27 2017
Each year sees new developments in digital marketing, and at their core these changes are driven by the goal of improving relevancy and usefulness for users.
In 2016, we saw a number of changes in the paid search space. Google removed right-side ads from its results pages, Expanded Text Ads (ETAs) were introduced, and device-specific bidding was made available, among other changes. We also saw searches coming from virtual assistants on the rise, with user queries prompting the device with "Okay Google" or "Hey Siri". As we move into 2017, we anticipate the continuation and growth of paid search trends that emerged last year.
Continued Growth in Mobile
A usable website is an important factor in not just sustaining a user's attention, but also in capturing it in the first place. As mentioned in our SEO Trends to Look for in 2017 blog post, adoption of responsive websites is beginning to be more and more important for SEO. As explained in our post regarding Google's upcoming Mobile-First Index, we know that a good mobile user experience is an important organic ranking factor. What we also know, it that it impacts paid search ad quality score for mobile device users. We expect to see ad quality score increasingly influenced by the mobile website experience for users on mobile devices.
Looking at paid search trends in 2017, we also anticipate further mobile-centric adjustments to how search engines serve ads, like more mobile-specific ad extension types. ETAs are still fairly new, so it will be important for advertisers to continue testing and evolving their ad text to best take advantage of the additional space that is now available (and shown below), as well as tweaking extensions to provide an informative, relevant, but not redundant message.
The rise of mobile is also closely related to high-intent local search queries, when users include a geographic modifier in their queries, like a city, neighborhood, zip code, etc. It will continue to be important to address this search behavior in paid search campaigns, by utilizing strategic location targeting and geographically modified keywords (represented in the example below) to place ads in front of these highly motivated, relevant users.
Audience Targeting for PPC in 2017
Last year saw increasing use of advertising platforms that offer sophisticated audience-based targeting, like Facebook. Facebook advertising can be powerful due to the wealth of data amassed by the platform; advertisers can target ads based on a user's interests or demographic data, define lookalike audiences, and more. While these options have made Facebook an attractive advertising platform for some, we also see Google offering more robust audience targeting options, including targeting based upon things like interests, demographics, products users are shopping for or have recently searched for, and more.
Looking ahead, we expect to see paid search platforms like Google and Bing offer increasingly sophisticated audience targeting for search, display, shopping, and other ad formats.
Growth of Voice Search
As mentioned in our recent article about 2017 SEO Trends, voice search is in part tied to mobile through device virtual assistants on like Siri and Microsoft's Cortana, but the increasing popularity of products like the Amazon Echo and Google Home will lead to the growth of voice search in the future. We will likely see this growth in 2017, but expect it to continue to boom in coming years as we anticipate the increased integration of artificial intelligence into things like cars, home appliances, and more.
Just as with local search behavior, it will also be important to strategically address the usage of voice search in paid search programs as well. While much of the voice search queries may be informational in nature, it's important to consider the top and middle of funnel searches that are important to your business, so that users may be exposed to your brand earlier. Thinking through and crafting a strategy around the kinds of voice searches that are likely to be valuable for your business will be crucial.
2017 Trends for Paid Search
We foresee that 2017 will bring continued development of new features and trends that emerged in 2016. Advertising platforms and search engines will keep evolving based on how people consume information online. The prominence of mobile device usage will lead to increasing sophistication and options in the ways ads are served to those users. Audience targeting will become ever more refined so that advertisers are able to serve increasingly relevant, fine-tuned messages to users based on their online behaviors. The likely increasing usage of virtual assistants on phones and other devices will make voice a possible next frontier of the paid search landscape.

As someone who at age 72 "has the type of mind which can find the objection to everything but can advance the solution of nothing", I fail to see what is wrong with that.
And it may be that nothing complex enough to matter to human well-being or flourishing has a solution.
- April 5, 2018 at 2:21 PM
Interesting - I'm not totally sure what to make of this! Although I didn't think of it initially, S. Wallerstein reminds that there is another way to look at Lewis's remark - which by the way I find to a great extent applicable to Hume himself, who says something in the Dialogues in praise of the philosopher who has no city to defend, but is always on the attack against others'. Compare also Thrasymachus on Socrates, in The Republic: "He gives no answer himself, and then, when someone else does give one, he takes up the argument and refutes it."
On the subject of severe flaws one might have as a younger student of philosophy, the best example (and by no means the only example) I have from my own experience is one I can't quite find a single word for - but "contempt" comes close; that was the word used by a professor of mine in reference to some insults I had parroted against Hegel, whom I had no intention to actually read. I may have gone too far in the opposite direction since then - I remember describing to another professor, from later, my newfound sense that there "has to be" something interesting, insightful, or otherwise worthy of consideration to be found in all of the great philosophers - what incredible arrogance, as a semi-literate 20- or 30-something (and beyond), to presume to know better than the dozens or hundreds of scholars who had dedicated their careers to studying their work! - to which my professor responded: "...Even Derrida? There are lots of fish in the sea."

For a young student to be critical, even severely so, of a canonical figure seems to me both entirely unsurprising and also a sign that the student is actually thinking. As a 19-year-old, I wrote a paper called "Some Theoretical Problems in Marx." Talk about presumption! But I worked v. hard on it, and the reader, while making numerous critical comments in the margins, gave it an A (which for me and in those days, when grade inflation was well underway but perhaps not yet in completely full flower, counted as a real accomplishment).
As for C.I. Lewis's comment, considering the context, it seems to me unobjectionable. Presumably one wants philosophers to advance or propose solutions, at least occasionally.
P.s. Though I managed to read some philosophy in other courses (and I'd previously read some in high school), I only took one actual philosophy course in college (as a freshman). It was taught by a young instructor, I didn't esp. like it, and I never took another philosophy course. (And since this was at a time and place where I could have taken courses with Rawls, Nozick or Putnam, among others, that might have been a pretty dumb decision. But whatever. I've regretted a lot of decisions I've made, but not majoring in philosophy or becoming a philosopher is not one of them.)

I believe that I've explained this previously here, but like you, I only took one philosophy course in college, an introduction and disliked it. First of all, it did not go into the political and ethical issues which are the only philosophical questions which interest me. Second and probably most important, philosophy as I saw it in that course seemed driven by the same macho intellectual arm-wrestling ethos which I always found and still find distasteful and even frightening in my father and in people in general.
Like you, I read some philosophy in other courses, generally humanities survey courses and I had two semesters of political theory in the government (aka political science) department where we even read some Marx and Lenin as well as the other classics of political thought from Plato on.
- April 5, 2018 at 6:44 PM
I wish I studied philosophy when I was young, if only to give my 18 year old self a more interesting way to pick a fight.
- April 5, 2018 at 7:25 PM
In 2006, I studied Hume with Henry Aiken's son, David.
- April 5, 2018 at 8:07 PM
- TheDudeDiogenes said...
Whenever you relate your educational history, Prof, I can only sigh and wish that my undergrad Philosophy program had been half as rigorous as your studies.
Of course, just because I didn't read the entirety of Hume's Treatise in uni doesn't mean I couldn't read it now, but there are just so many things to watch on Netflix and YouTube! I have become such a philistine.

Purely for my own consumption for lack of a better word (well, I showed it to one other person), I wrote a brief memoir of my undergrad academic experience some time ago and that sufficed to get the subject pretty much out of my system, so to speak. So, despite being tempted by your comment, I won't go into it further here (plus it's of limited general interest).

One professor of mine from when I was an undergrad liked to use Nietzsche's Camel/Lion/Baby metaphor in relation to studying philosophy. Everyone, he'd say, wanted to be like a lion, getting their claws out and tearing things up. But, before that, if we wanted to make real progress, we needed to be like camels - beasts of burden - and take on the task of studying and learning the views of the people we were reading, not just trying to find mistakes. Why did these people, presumably smarter than us (or why else study them?) think these things? Did we, novice thinkers, think they were making _obvious_ errors? Shouldn't we try to understand what they were thinking? Once we'd made the effort to really understand, we could then bring out the claws, and perhaps eventually, like a baby, bring something fresh and new into the world. It's a model I've tried hard to present to my own students as much as possible.

Sounds like something worthy of scanning that scrap of paper and posting online as part of your blog.

Professor, your writings are a treasure for those of us who love philosophy. May you write for many more years.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A week into training camp, here is an update on the Tennessee State University men's basketball team.
· Head coach Dana Ford is pushing decisiveness on offense. In their five-on-five drills, the player with the ball has one second to decide whether they will pass, shoot, or drive. With a brand new team of talented, but inexperienced, players, decision-making is a key attribute that needs refining.
· The team continues to work on their defensive posture on and off the ball. Coach Ford is pushing closeout tactics on the ball and man-to-man discipline off the ball.
· One drill that the Tigers worked on in today's practice involved at least two players running and diving for a loose ball and then setting up the offense. Junior Xavier Richards showed great tenacity and ability to beat others to the ball on a consistent basis.
· The two players playing point today were senior Jay Harris and freshman Charles Tucker. They were challenged to effectively communicate the play call while dealing with constant pressure from the defense.
· Freshman Christian Mekowulu showed good post-presence today. He made good decisions and displayed his ability to create shot opportunities when getting the ball in the paint.
The beginning of the season is a month away as TSU hosts Reinhardt on Friday, Nov. 14 at 7:00 p.m.

I'm delighted to announce that I enrolled my book Adventures in Veterinary Medicine:What Working in Veterinary Hospitals Taught Me About Life, Love, and Myself in the Amazon Prime Reading program. This means that if you're a Prime member, you can read the book for free.
And don't worry if you don't have a Kindle: Prime Reading works on any device with the free Kindle app for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, PC and Mac.
The book offers a unique look at what really goes on in a veterinary hospital through the eyes of a former veterinary hospital manager, aka, yours truly. The book provides insight into what makes veterinary medicine such a rewarding profession through a series of stories about some of the pets I connected with during my twelve years working in the field.
Praise for Adventures in Veterinary Medicine
From Dr. Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian" and resident veterinarian for "The Dr. Oz Show:"
"As a 'veteran veterinarian' with more than 30 years in practice, I found myself nodding in recognition throughout Ingrid King's heartwarming book. Take a look behind the scenes at my beloved profession, and the people and pets who make veterinary medicine a rewarding adventure. You won't regret it, I promise."
From Patrick Mahaney, VMD, owner and president of California Pet Acupuncture and Wellness and writer/blogger:
"In reading Ingrid King's Adventures in Veterinary Medicine, I was taken back to the feeling of excitement experienced when I first worked as a technician during my college years. From learning the initial approach to a fractious cat to the inevitable frustrations associated with being part of a professional care giving team, I've been there too. It's refreshing to feel such resonance with an author who has dedicated herself to the betterment of animal health and welfare in veterinary practice and in her media career."

For the first time, ad:tech organized its global initiative 'The Next Big Thing' here, in collaboration with Nestle India.
The consumer company called for entries from startups to showcase their technology and take innovative ideas to the next level. Around 83 entries were received and nine of them made it to the final round. Google's Rajan Anand, Facebook's Umang Bedi, GroupM's Rob Norman along with Nestle's various category general managers evaluated the final round of the pitch process via which they picked SilverPush and IotPot, who won a fully funded pilot. These startups are expected to work with Nestle very closely in the coming months.
In conversation with Brand Equity, Chandrasekhar Radhakrishnan, head of communication and e-commerce, Nestlé India, said, "We want to be the number one FMCG company to leverage digital and collaboration. While we do this we also want to ensure that this escalates profitable growth, and in order to achieve this, we have to sense the core. Technology is disrupting businesses and all of these come from startups."
"If you want to bring in the startups as part of your collaborative initiatives you need to have an innovative culture, and that's what we are working on. Startups give you customised solutions, speed, they are cost effective, you test, learn and refine ideas from them, and of course there is a competitive advantage," he adds.
Jaswant Singh, Country MD, Comexposium India, said, "While we are not venture capitalists or another platform that would attract startups, at ad:tech we wanted to build a platform that would bring businesses and entrepreneurs together. Startups help brands to learn fast and scale up faster, and that's primarily what a lot of big companies are looking at. We are happy that we could collaborate with a company like Nestle in our first year of The Next Big Thing in India."

Why SpecFlow+ Excel?
SpecFlow+ Excel is currently not compatible with SpecFlow 3 and .NET Core. It is only compatible with SpecFlow 2.4 or earlier.
Spreadsheets are commonly used to describe rules and calculations in the financial and engineering sectors. Excel is convenient for working with large amounts of tabular data, using formulas to perform calculations (equivalent to abstract specifications or rules) and displaying results (equivalent to example sets). This approach is well suited to Specification by Example, BDD and of course SpecFlow!
SpecFlow+ Excel allows you to define requirements and example sets in Excel. Your requirements can be used in the same way as plain text Gherkin files. You can:
- Define entire features in Excel using the worksheets as scenarios
- Extend scenario outline examples in normal plain text feature files with examples in Excel tables
SpecFlow+ Excel seamlessly integrates into the SpecFlow development tool chain. However you can also access it from the command line, meaning you can use it with any tool in the Cucumber family, such as Cucumber, Cucumber-JVM or Behat. The command line tool works on non-Windows platforms using Mono.

Folded, eroded by water, and steep. The roads are anything but straight in eastern Kentucky and western Virginia.
Lael called this morning as she passed into the twelfth and final state on the historic Trans America Trail, the beginning of a series of larger climbs through the deeply folded Appalachian Mountains. She was breathing hard, riding one handed uphill with the phone to her ear. The next hundred miles may be the most mountainous of the entire route, although the climbing doesn't end there. The Trans Am doesn't descend out of the mountains and onto the gently sloping coastal plain until three hundred miles from her current location. She just crossed the Russell Fork River in Kentucky, and soon thereafter passed into Virginia adjacent to the Breaks Interstate Park, one of the only interstate parks in the country. The region boasts a canyon as deep as 1600ft, one of many natural features I've heard billed as "the Grand Canyon of the East". As we ride north from Virginia to New York, we may take in the rail trail in the Pine Creek Gorge of northern PA, often called the "Grand Canyon on Pennsylvania". I've also visited Letchworth State Park in Eastern NY, also called "the Grand Canyon of the East". Here are a list of other deep river valleys which stake the same claim.
Once out of the mountains, there are about 200 miles to the end. Lael knows that her strengths include her ability to climb. At the moment, she is healthy and rested. She did, however, take a short night of sleep last night, bedding down for about 2.5 hours. In doing so, she put some miles on both Evan and Steffen. Evan trails her by 50 miles, and Steffen is now only 28 miles ahead. With just 500 miles to go, the tension builds. Lael's energy levels remain high; she maintains an exuberance which first emerged after the extreme heat of Kansas passed. She is excited to be finishing soon, and was thrilled to learn that I am already in Atlanta, boarding a plane to Virginia.

When you pass by an old garage or junkyard, you can see a lot of cars which are no longer used. From an outsider's perspective, they may seem as if they're still in pristine condition, although on taking a closer look you realize that certain parts of it are useless. However, if you're looking for a real challenge and happen to be a car enthusiast at the same time, then you will definitely find that it is great fun purchasing repairable salvage cars. These can be sold off to you for a certain price, and are definitely good project targets for all consumers, especially for people who wish to purchase a salvaged car and restore it to its proper working condition. If you're diligent enough and take extra precaution and precision in the reconstruction of these vehicles, you will have a rather trustworthy car that will function as good as the models that have just come out of the market recently. These give you several opportunities to save up on cash, since you don't have to shell out all your savings on purchasing a brand new car – you'll just be purchasing an old one and restoring it to working order.
Considering the Car's Condition
If you're itching to purchase some salvage repairable cars, the one thing you need to consider is how much damage it has gone through. When certain vehicles have been involved in accidents or have been damaged by natural disasters, they will more likely than not be subject to insurance claims. However, if you want to file a claim the vehicle owner must get in touch with the insurers so they can submit an automotive accident report. After filling and submitting the form, the insurance company then sends a damage assessor to take a look at the amount of damage inflicted on the car, after which the total cost for repairs will be calculated. If the cost happens to be way beyond the sum insured then the vehicle will be sent off to the junkyard for disposal. Although, there are cases when the cars only have minor dents or a missing bumper, which totally makes them resale-able, so if you want to save on expenses, you can just go ahead and purchase these cars along with their missing or repairable parts.
Determining the Damage Category
The following are the categories according to which the cars are classified:
Category A – This is a classification given to cars which have undergone extensive or heavy damage and are labeled as scrap. No parts are economically salvageable and there is not much scope when it comes to repairing these.
Category B – In this category there would be certain parts of the car which can be salvaged and purchased, although the majority of the vehicle is nearly rendered useless. There have been some cases of cat. B vehicles which, been salvaged and repaired, although this is very rare considering the extent of the damage caused to these cars.
Category C – Also dubbed as "repairable total loss" vehicles, cars belonging to this category might have costs which may exceed the sum insured, including VAT. With some work done on them, you can definitely restore these vehicles to proper working condition.
Category D – These are also considered repairable total loss, and they are totally repairable, having experienced only minor damage as a whole. The costs for repairs are below the sum insured, though. The damage seen on these repairable salvage cars for sale include minor dents, shattered glass, or even flat wheels, most of which are essentially cosmetic in nature, and the vehicles can be restored to working condition, thus giving you a lot of bang for your hard earned buck.

Our wine brand Basi del Diablo started hiding a few bottles of wine on January 31, 2019. The wine hunt will take place in random spots in the country and a few choice places abroad for the rest of the year. What makes this more exciting, according to the team, is "it's not an event per se, just a random wine hunt done by strangers in random places on random days". Clues will be given through Sigrid Salucop's Instagram account and "sometimes" on Basi del Diablo's official page.
Wine No.1 has already been found. It was hidden at Virginia Mangapit's home in Batac, Ilocos Norte. The first wine bottle is a Virginia Blush, a Basi del Diablo variant named after Mrs Mangapit. "It is logical for the first wine to be hidden in this old house, this is where I have lived most of my adult life and it has a special place in the hearts of my granddaughters," Mrs. Mangapit said. Her eldest granddaughter Sigrid is running the company and also manages the wine brand.
"We have been analysing our market share in the Philippine wine industry. Despite the hundreds of wine brands produced in the country, the local wine sector has not yet truly taken off in the sense that Filipinos themselves choose local wines over the ones coming from abroad," Salucop says.
It is no secret that the country's wine producers are in a difficult spot and quality suffers because there is no continuity.
"There are many factors that have made the local wine industry into what it is today and as a brand, we'd like to be a reminder as to why they still produce wines that were made by their great-grandparents. Local winemakers are connected to that tradition. So apart from making money out of our own wines, we'd like Filipinos to appreciate other local brands, too," she explains.
Salucop finished writing her first academic book in 2018, a detailed and emotional story about the Basi industry. The industry was said to be dying over 50 years ago but local winemakers still make the heritage wine. Salucop co-wrote the book with Dr Arturo G. Pacho, a former professor at the University of the Philippines in Diliman. Poetry in a Bottle is poised to hit bookstores both online and offline later this year.
"We know the industry well but we do not claim to know it all. However, based on what we have found, we decided it is time to do something different to promote our wines. I have always said that there will be a tough road ahead and now we are crawling on it. Like many winemakers in the country, we have no money to push our wines to the mainstream. This is why I thought of the scavenger hunt because it opens doors for interaction and it helps us introduce our wines to locals and foreigners alike," she adds.
The second bottle, a De La Bodega, is hidden at Kingfisher Kitesurfing Hotel in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, a town two hours away from Mrs Mangapit's home. According to Basi del Diablo, no one has found the wine just yet. Wine No.3's location has not yet been revealed but Salucop says that it is somewhere in Metro Manila.
To get more information about the wine hunt, check out Sigrid Salucop's Instagram account.

Swamp People star Mitchell Guist died Monday of natural causes, according to an autopsy. He'll be buried Saturday, which would have been his 48th birthday, and fans are invited.
The Baton Rouge Advocate reports that "Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley said the parish coroner, Dr. John Fraiche, determined from preliminary autopsy findings that the star of the popular reality television show died of natural causes. Guist, who appeared in segments of the series with his brother, Glenn, died after collapsing Monday morning while working on a houseboat he was building on Belle River."
Fans are invited to the Friday (4 to 9 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m. to noon) visitation and funeral (noon) at the Ourso Funeral Home in Gonzales, La.
A note posted yesterday on the brothers' Facebook page suggested that fans are buying merchandise to support the family, although it doesn't actually help them: "the Guist family does not profit from Swamp people merchandise purchased from the History channel website. To show your respect and support of the joy Mitchell brought into our lives and into our homes, please visit guistbrothers.com for your Guist Brothers memorabilia."
