I haven't been keeping up as much as I'd like, because I started running the Serpent Skull adventure path last month, and haven't even mentioned it yet. Theoretically I was thinking of liveblogging it (well, kind of) like what I started to do with my Starblazer game, but that went out the window with all the computer problems of late. So rather than catching up on part of the module, here's the whole damn thing.
To be honest, Serpent's Skull is about fourth in my list of want-to-run Adventure Paths, behind Kingmaker, Carrion Crown, and the upcoming Skull & Shackles. But there is a personal interest in the path: it's almost exactly the same as a campaign a friend of mine has run (rather, tried to run) three or four times. Compare the basics: characters are shipwrecked on a jungle continent ruled by yuan-ti and populated by ancient ruins, namely of a fallen snake-god whose name starts with Y. There's more than that, some being spoilers.
Granted, the details in Serpent Skull can be a lot different—the PCs are shipwrecked and lost from civilization for only the first module, for one—but the staggering similarity is almost paranoia-inducing. Having played in a campaign where the PCs have nothing, are plagued by diseases, and have to fend off evil reptilians, I felt the need to inflict this on others. Also, I'm taking the slow path, in order to add in more set-pieces and encounters and whatnot (and hopefully put off more of that high-level bloat).
Anyways, Souls for Smuggler's Shiv. I love low-level D&D adventures, before things like caster supremacy and the Christmas-tree effect and other high-level issues show up and the game starts to break down into excesses of stat-crunching and numbers-balancing. (No, I'm not still jaded on tactical class/level RPGs, why do you ask.) There's a real sense of player fragility, at least as a GM; one unlucky crit and somebody's character is toast, with no way to bring them back. Normally that means pulling punches, and the basics—not being an adversarial dick GM for one. But here, the encounters seemed balanced nicely on the PCs' side, without even factoring that I have a six-man destruction squad.
Which is, compared to my Legacy campaign, strangely caster-heavy and rogue-averse: in rough order, barbarian (going for oracle/rage prophet), druid (going for bear totem ass-beater) with bear-cub familiar, fighter (vanilla greataxe halforc), wizard (focus on mind-affecting, namely hypnotism), monk of the sacred mountain (built to stand in one square and punch things), and summoner with a serpentine eidolon.
I only knew one of my players going in, so the module was more everyone getting used to each other and all that; oddly, they ended up being the most tactical RPG group I've ever had, and also emphasized co-ordination and teamwork (aid another, buff spells, and flanking, for starters). For example, there were a couple of times where would have been a miss turned into a hit because somebody had cast guidance beforehand; those little +1/+2 support bonuses made a big difference on several make-or-break occasions.
The actual adventure is pure sandbox: explore an island, kill its hostile flora and fauna, find some hidden loot, delve a few dungeons. There's a number of complications for the PCs to handle, which is what makes the adventure memorable: it's a real slog, between caretaking NPCs, fending off disease, and building shelters. The adventure consists of a dozen or so set-pieces, along with fifteen shipwrecks and a bajillion "animal lairs" for the PCs to loot, along with a pair of hidden ruins for the obligatory dungeon crawl.
At first, the players just wanted to make for the lighthouse and get back to civilization, but midway through they heard about the Treasure Pit from one of the NPCs, and between that and the NPC shipwreck quests, ended up exploring a good chunk of the island. (They only missed 2-4 of the named and number locations, along with half the predator dens and a handful of shipwrecks.) The last pair of dungeon set-pieces went over well, though in hindsight I should have built the shipwrecks as mini-dungeons, ala the various dungeons in the Elder Scrolls games. The shipwrecks and lairs, as well as most of the island, is somewhat insubstantial, existing in a void.
It's as close to Morrowind in d20-form as we'll probably ever see. It's a neat idea, but I think I like the hex-crawling of Kingmaker better. That had the gamey element of hex exploration as a method to gauge time and space; with Smuggler's Shiv, it's a number of set-pieces seperated by blank parts of the map ("jungle") and random encounters: I had to work at trying to add a sense of depth and world. Unless you're up for a lot of jungle description, or tons of random encounters, this kind of thing is better for video games. I still ended up liking it for the freeform nature, diversity of written quests, and ease of inserting new material.
The Non-Player Characters
As for the NPCs, a major factor of this module: the players took to ex-Sargavan Jask immediately, not just because he's a cleric but because he rolled really well for skill checks the PCs failed, such as explaining what the hell Smuggler's Shiv is. It took a while, but they realized the NPCs were a good source of intel and quests; they really, really hated Gelik Aberwhinge, and Sasha drove the barbarian up a wall. (Yeah, those were the NPCs I added the most character to; what of it?)
Disease, Shelter, and Food
Having a pair of characters with high Survival and aid another meant that building shelter and finding food was never a problem; a "bad" roll was still higher than the DC by about five. Disease, on the other hand, ravaged the NPCs and the monk, and eventually the barbarian got brainworms. Aside a few potions they found, the PCs ended up relying more on aid another and Heal to have the diseased make their saves. I also ended up being too nice with items, but rather than stacking them in a heap next to the PCs on the beach, I put all but one or two on the shipwreck (requiring a DC 20 Swim check, RAW). (Other bits—anything easily damaged by water, or heavy—mysteriously sank.) It got the PCs started on their investigation, working a lot better than just finding their crap next to them.
The Adventure Locales
There's a good balance here; naturally, the players liked the treasure pit, and for some reason the crab-house of Pezock. I don't think they fully understood all the implications of the story-hint-based locales, but that's about it. Again, most of the shipwrecks and lairs existed purely in the void; I liked being able to draw up my own battle maps, but that's about it.
The Challenges
At first level, a pair of spider swarms against a group of horribly unprepared adventurers are unfair. Other than that, nothing was too challenging; then again, I have six players. After exploring most of the island, having run into nothing more potent than those spiders, the group tackled one of the module's end-boss; it had flying, but wasn't, and was soundly thrashed, even after I'd pre-built it to have more hit points. Actually, there were a few tough battles: a random encounter on a shipwreck involving 2d8 grindylows and the monk failing a Perception check. Still, while the monk dropped, they slaughtered those things. Also, shocker lizards are brutal in pairs (they shocked at least two people down) but worthless on their own.
After that, they took on the entire cannibal village; it was a nice epic-yet-harrowing battle, with a few PCs dropping into the negatives, taking on twenty-odd cannibals, two named-and-numbered, and a couple of beasts (rock lobsters using giant crayfish stats) I'd thrown in. Nothing they couldn't handle, as each player took an NPC as a bonus, so while things got rough at points the result was never in question: a dozen level 2-4 N/PCs against an army of minimal-level mooks with two leaders.
As for non-combat challenges, those would mostly be the other castaway NPCs, and Pezock, existing castaway NPC. When they realized these quests gave them some great bonuses, they started actively pursuing the shipwrecks and whatnot that each castaway needed to fill their quest.
Things I Would Do Different Next Time
- Add more depth to the bare-bones encounters, namely the shipwrecks and lairs. Not that I didn't already, but after pillaging eleven wrecks, or fighting yet another giant crab, it began to get tedious. (I don't get the same grist of world depth in this path as Legacy or Runelords, partly because there's no set city to flesh out, and only a handful of NPCs.)
- Vary the encounters. Again, I did that, coming up with a different random chart for random encounters and shipwreck denizens. Still, once you've fought four giant crabs, you've fought them all. That said, the new monsters in the module were pretty slick, and I ended up using most of them; the sea scorpions were fun, but best was the large sea urchin that always made its Reflex saves (even with its -2 base save!). Oh, those hilarious urchins.
That's about it; the module was very well constructed as-is, and its broad open nature allows the GM to drop in all sorts of new encounters and locales. Feedback was positive but lukewarm about the Shiv itself, which is to be expected—it's intentionally miserable, with the rain, disease, cannibals, and NPC quests. What warmed people up was the adventure hooks near the end: clearing out the cannibal village, and finding an ancient ruin which spoke of Golarion's El Dorado: Saventh-Yhi. Also, leaving the Shiv for Eledar helped.

Dr. Dave, yes I use this all the time. I think Paul also did a similat tip and has really stuck with me. Even on really long putts, still get it in that 'easy' zone. I actually pick the side of the hole that I want the putt to die into. Works very well. Thanks much and I still need to do my WTW course!! Lol. – Kim

I mostly 2 putt even being a new player just started my second year of golf (it's my long game that suffers) but I really don't have a philosophy.
This TOTALLY makes sense and what a great thought process to sink my golf teeth into!

Pop-idol of the 1990s Lee Jae-won of H.O.T was arrested on rape charges but was released when the victim withdrew her suit in an out-of-court settlement.
Lee expressed regret and said he would suspend performances indefinitely.
The Seoul Eastern District Court last Friday issued an arrest warrant for Lee, who was accused of having sexual intercourse without consent with a would-be star at a Seoul motel on Dec.10. Lee alleged that the action was based on mutual understanding, but the woman claimed she was unconscious from alcohol consumption and unable to refuse. Korean law distinguishes forced sex acts from sex without consent.
Lee was arrested but three hours later the woman changed her mind and made a settlement. The judge also agreed to release Lee around 11 p.m.
Lee Sunday said he would make an official statement about what happened and about his future soon. The singer said he is sorry for letting people down via his Web site
Lee was supposed to appear on cable TV show as a host Tuesday. He may not be able to release his new album next year.
Lee debuted as the youngest member of H.O.T., which is said to have opened a new era of boy bands here. After the sensational group split in 2001, he remained in showbiz by forming another band, JTL, and going solo, seeking success in Japan and China.

Good morning Blogland Neighborhood! Well it seems like the entire quilting world is heading to Minneapolis this week for Quilt Market. Kitty was hoping to be the Quilt Market correspondant for the "MBIAJ Quilting & Sewing Dept" however there seems to be a lack of cash in the MBIAJ Travel Allowance Funds. Therefore, we had to break it to her that we can't afford to send her. She left in a huff (as usual) and said she'll figure a way to get there herself ....
......(sigh) oh brother ..... well it doesn't look good that Kitty will make it to Quilt Market so if you're looking for reliable reports of all the action your best bet is to tune into ....
Radio PKM now with Zombie.
Monica and Pam plan to be your up to the minute correspondants with their finger on the pulse of all the action at Quilt Market.
So, don't forget to check in with those gals daily, and if you happen to see Kitty sitting on the side of the road could you please give her a ride? Thanks !

LABUAN: Food and beverage operators in this duty-free island have up to Feb 29 to fully comply with the Food Hygiene Regulation 2009, failing which a RM1,000 compound will be issued for each of their workers.
The Labuan Health Department will jointly conduct an operation on March 1 with the local authority of Labuan Corporation (LC) Health Unit to check all the food premises on full compliance.
Its director, Dr Ismail Ali said a total of 79 food premises with 694 employees were checked during a month-long operation from Jan 4.
"At least 92 of the total number of employees were found to have not received typhoid injection and 182 have not undergone the food handling course," he said at the Food Hygiene Regulation 2009 Full Enforcement Briefing yesterday.
He said the department had been lenient with no compounds issued to the offenders since the last five years of its enforcement.
"We have not fully enforced the regulation although it had already come into effect for the past five years. During our operations, we only resolved the cases through diplomacy and issued reminders…but after we found there were a number of eateries which have not complied with the regulations, it is high time to fully enforce it," he said.
Almost all Malay food operators were present except Chinese operators who are still holidaying for Chinese New Year. The briefing was attended by Indian Chamber of Commerce president Datuk Daliph Singh and Malaysian Islam Chamber of Commerce secretary Johari Abidin.
"Today's briefing is to inform all food and drink operators here that we will fully enforce the regulation. It is not to penalize but in the interest of all. We want to project the good image of the island in line with the government's aspiration to turn Labuan into a must-visit place," he said. – Bernama

You will find several notions that can help in the writing of the good SEATED check essays. The early applicant receives the very first interviews and really first invites to the system. After every assessment, receive a comprehensive investigation of your own performance. Don't be scared to utilize the first person within the writing of the SEATED check essays. GRE preparation is a superior way to bring in your ambitions a reality. The creating area within the overall IELTS is again based on real-life situations. Take into account, GRE homework isn't like learning for a common evaluation in school. To learn more, notice which version of IELTS is suited to you. If you're an international pupil, you can also wish to know that an exceptional TOEFL rating can counter a poor verbal score. They're going to report each essay predicated on several variables, alongside the scores may likely be blended and averaged.
Typically you need to aim for hair that is clear, gleaming and healthful.
I chose to discover what score I needed. In conclusion, z labs could be valuable resources for assistance with mathematics difficulties. If this's the situation, following specific measures will help the audience locate the crucial idea, consequently improving comprehension. Hand writing is getting to be a lost skill. Among the chief risks of purchasing a customized composition is plagiarism. The right register, or level of ritual, should to be used for each writing task. The student must inquire whether the agreement is delivering any accurate worth with regards to learning. I've some beneficial methods for students who intend to consider the SATs. In contrast to frequent opinion, writing an essay isn't some thing that takes place automatically.
In other words talk about the work's benefits and drawbacks.
Your solution should reflect the reality. You merely need to be relaxed and supply the interview, I'm certain you'll succeed! You merely have to be confident and I'm sure you may flourish in clearing the interview! Understand the various stages of pay for somebody to create an essay tactic The next stage is always to try to understand the method where the exercise functions. The structure to your own essay may be dependent on the sort of question you're answering. In that case that sentence is almost the principal notion. After the pupil understands the concept of complete and specific words, they may better locate a general statement within the sentence. The 2 documents are fairly distinct.
Approaching no-matter its content, a method, is not legal and will allow you to get in trouble.
To have an entire essay helps, so get the utmost from the allotted time for the composition also. I wound up acquiring an essay that's full of a great number of errors, it's not even funny. Firstly, APA essay format desires a regular paper size of 8. For pupils who like to do a far more indepth analysis, the next list gives definitions as well as the adjectives. Even supposing it's the situation the course does not ask you to submit a document, it might ask you to write an essay test. I would attended the G D in your own B School last calendar year. Your composing should, most of all, be your personal. Fiction might be to furnish private.
Along the way, the functions take to sustain failures, similarly (in most of the scenarios).
For countless decades, books are becoming an intrinsic function in every one's living. My dissertation wasn't able to be created much better. Instruction may be bought at various amounts of research to provide pupils the opportunity to have the instruction they desire. Students might perform college paper writing services reviews for quite a couple of firms when they've obtained an accredited diploma in the location. Students of numerous streams are returning for entrances within the management colleges.

It's funny, really, in pursuing my identity outside of motherhood I have discovered how much I love motherhood. Somehow, this year as I sent The Baby off to preschool, I was acutely aware of how precious little time I had left being the mom of a small person. I've sent two others off to school and relished every minute of the freedom that came with it. With this one, I dreamed of what I'd do with all those hours alone for the first time in 9 years.
Make no mistake, I have filled that time and then some. In fact, I am never finished with my to-do list by the time his pick up comes. And yet, on the days where he stays home with me still, it feels like I do nothing and everything all at once. I'm not sure it was a conscious decision but it has happened anyway and I'm not fighting it. Tuesday and Thursday have become mama and boy days. Other than laundry and other domestic chores, I leave those days free to spend with my baby boy and subsequently am way more present when the older two get home as well.
It's made me more peaceful. I've enjoyed fall so much more as I see it unfold through the uninterrupted eyes of a preschooler. Best of all, I know that when he's off to full day school like his older siblings, I won't worry for a second that I didn't make the most of our time together. That is worth every single not checked off "to-do" that I'll accumulate.
So, today I'll write and study birth physiology and pain management. I'll clean and make calls and shoot off emails. But tomorrow, glorious tomorrow, there will be snuggling and The Hub and a few games of Wii. Also, did I mention snuggling? There will be snuggling. Because, it seems I've figured out my number one job is mom and I've really come into my professional own.
P.S. If you are looking for parenting guidance, to heal through mind-body services or simply need someone to listen, you're in the right place. You can learn more by visiting my Counseling & Coaching site .

Why I advocate the Zeitgeist Movement
0 (0 Likes / 0 Dislikes)
I advocate The Zeitgeist Movement because we currently live in a world that is full of war, poverty, crime, corruption, greed, suffering and disease. And it is time we adress the fundamental root causes of all of these problems. And work towards solutions. We, as humans, have incredibly powerful minds and to think that we cannot come up with solutions is absolutely absurd. I am sick of people having to slave their lives away in mindless occupations to support a fraudulent system. It is fraudulent defined by the fact that it's unsustainable. An infinite growth economic paradigm running on a finite planet has to fail. We all do what we have to to pay the bills and get by and in doing so we are raped of our freedom, creativity, passion and essentially our ability to reach our full potential. I advocate The Zeitgeist Movement because of the massive and overwhelming injustices and atrocities that occur in the world time and time again. The vast majority of the people on this planet are oppressed and impoverished. We're in a very unique time in human history where scientific knowledge is at a great clash with traditional institutions and civilization as we know it. We're all so locked into our societies and cultural programming that it's hard to step outside of the box and see things for what they truly are and what is really happening. For we are undergoing evolition. Our current economic model is based on competition and differential advantage. While it thrives on the perpetuation of scarcity and cyclical consumption. The planet is now demanding that we move in a sustainable direction. The profit motive has gone too far in exploiting the Earth and these unsustainable practices cannot continue indefinitely. Simply put, we are runnig out of resources. Period. The Golf oil spill is a prime showcase of the catalog of flaws inherent in our current system. This situation clearly demonstrates how the profit motive rules in society. Where human and social concerns are secondary, if they are even there at all. This is shown through BP cutting costs by deciding not to implement the proper safety precautions which would have prevented the catastrophe in the first place. The inaptitude and indifference of goverments to solve the problem, the destruction of our environment caused by the pursuit of profit as well as the fact that there is no need to ever use fossil fuels today based on our current technological understanding. If you understand how our society works, then this catastrophe should be of no surprise. For this is what our system produces. What most you now realize is that right now we have the ability to create an abundance of all of the necessities of life. Meeting the needs of every person on the planet. However, it is our economic system that is holding us back. Stifling progress. Why does America throw away over a hundred million pounds of food everyday, when at the same time there are thirty thousand people who die from starvation? Everyday. Why is our entire society based on dangerous costly obsolete fosill fuels when we have the technology to harness abundant clean energies? There is something very seriously wrong with this picture. I advocate The Zeitgeist Movement because it is the only organisation I've come across that attempts to identify the fundamental root causes of the problems in society, while providing real tangible solutions. We are one species and we inhabit one planet. It is time we break down the artificial barriers that separate us and start working together to benefit everyone and every living thing. The old appeals to racial, sexual and religious chauvinism, to rabid nationalist ferver are beginning not to work. A new consciousness is developing that sees the Earth as a single organism and recognises that an organism at war with itself is doomed.

This Airline Has $99 Flights to Iceland for the New Year
Despite preconceptions you may hold from D2: The Mighty Ducks, the people of Iceland are pretty nice and the country is a swell place to spend a vacation. Fortunately, you can frequently find cheap flights to the nation's capital, Reykjavik. That's the case right now. Low-cost carrier WOW Air has loads of one-way flights from the U.S. for just $99.
The discounted prices are available for flights taken between January and May of this year. In all five months, you can find $99 flights out of Boston, Detroit, New York, and Washington D.C. There are also $99 flights available in January out of Chicago and Pittsburgh.
Though the price will be a little higher, you can also find cheap flights out of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dallas, Orlando, San Francisco, and St. Louis.
There's no stated end date for the sale, so you may want to buy soon while there are still a variety of options at the $99 price. Cheap tickets tend to disappear rapidly, even if WOW does surface $99 flights with some frequency.
Like with any budget airline, there are things to look out for. Prices through WOW can rise quickly, as the airline charges for baggage and to select your own seat. Though, it's definitely possible to pack light and have your seat assigned at the airport to keep the price low.
Whether you're going in the offseason (right now) or waiting until the spring, there are a ton of great reasons to travel to Iceland, like the Dark Days Festival, natural hot springs, hot dogs, and the Ring Road. Get on it.

Good Grief President Trump!!
Since your Inauguration barely a week ago – President Trump – you have managed to upset important allies and trading partners, blindsided your national security team, frightened legal immigrants, and angered your own GOP majority in the Congress. The nation is counting on you not to screw this up beyond repair in just two weeks.

I know it's been almost a year since my last post and if you read my last post, I can only hope you understand why it has been almost a year. My life has changed so much in the last 12 months. I've been living in my late uncle's home for exactly a year now. I have managed to get the land cleaned up and manageable again, got all of my cabinets painted, the house painted, and even started putting my own twist on decorating the house. Its been hard to look at this house as anything more than my uncle's home but its come a long way on the road to being my home and my children's home. I still have a long way to go but its definitely coming together.
I think that it's been just as hard, if not harder, for my grandmother to see this house as my family's home since this was her youngest child's home until his passing. If ever there was a "golden child", it was my uncle. He could do no wrong in my grandmother's eyes and that's ok. Being a mother of multiple children myself, I understand the different bonds between a mother and each of her children and how that bond is different with each child.
My uncle had no children. I have no siblings. So that makes me the only grandchild to my grandmother. That was pretty cool when I was growing up. I was spoiled and doted on by her. I was the only grandchild and I was a little girl. How could she not spoil me right?
Well, now that I'm grown and I have grown up responsibilities, being the only grandchild who happens to be a girl pretty much sucks! It literally feels like I can't win for losing with my entire family. I swear my grandma thinks I'm completely helpless because I'm a girl. Um…really? Can we take a step out of the 1950's and join the rest of the world in 2018 please? I get it that a woman's role was a little different when she was coming up than it is nowadays.
In my grandma's day, women didn't maintain two acres of land on their own. They didn't fix things that broke in the home, such as septic systems, appliances, etc. They dang sure didn't install appliances in their home or paint their home. They didn't maintain the house. They ran the house so to speak. They raised their children. They fed their family, made sure their family had clean clothes, etc. The day to day stuff to keep the family functioning properly.
In some ways, not much has really changed from her day to now. Woman still make sure their house runs smoothly in the day to day life stuff. We still raise our children and make sure our family is taken care of. But it is different now. Today the divorce rate is so much higher than it was back when my grandmother was raising her family. Single parent homes was not as common as it is now. Today women are raising children, working a full time job and possibly even an additional part time job. We are fixing broken faucets in our house, changing the oil in our own cars, maintaining our own yards. We cook. We clean. We work. We do it all. And yet, we are still told that we can't do stuff because we are girls. Excuse me?! Um.. what?!
I moved into my uncle's house after his untimely passing. His two acres of land and his home were both a hot mess. Literally. He had trees that he cut down that laid where they fell for so long they were starting to decompose. He has so much crap piled up around his shed and the inside was even worse. The house, on my God the house was ridiculous. He tried to get it caught up and manageable but God bless it was a nightmare to even figure out what to start on first. I had a little help from my father and step father on the land itself. My dad would come out for a couple hours and help me with mowing and trimming tree branches. I spent countless hours burning trees and limbs and leaves and whatever else I could throw in the fire. It took all freaking summer and part of the way through winter to get all the dead trees burnt off. But I did it. My dad cleaned out the shed and around it only because he wanted some of my uncle's tools. I have sprayed so much Spectracide on poison ivy/oak/sumac and plants that "look suspicious" that I feel like I should be part owner in their product. The septic system is fixed. My dad did the work but I helped him with it. I have been the one maintaining the yards. I have a working dishwasher again. My dryer broke…I fixed it by myself. I painted the cabinets. I fixed the sheetrock damage. I painted the entire house. I have cleaned this house and treated the window sills that may or may not have had mold damage around them. I did that all by myself. I did all of this while working full time and raising three kids on my own.
So here's my question: why is that my grandmother knows that I'm capable of doing all of this stuff on my own but she still tells me that I can't because I'm a girl? Why is her first answer "Wait for your daddy to come out and he'll take care of that" to everything that still needs to be done? Why is it that no matter what I do, she still thinks I'm helpless? Why do I need to wait on my dad, who, mind you, is in horrible health, to come out here (an hour drive from his house) to do something that I'm perfectly capable of doing myself? And why would he want to come out here and start on anything when she's going to tell him to stop because he's going to wear himself out? Why can't she see me for a strong independent woman who can handle these things and just just a helpless little girl who needs someone to come rescue her?
I can't be the only girl that has this issue, can I? I love my family, don't misunderstand me. I just want them to recognize the fact that I am not helpless. Is that asking too much? Am I making too much out of this?

It's not very often that we get to photograph a wedding that doesn't require a flight or an overnight stay. But a couple weeks ago we were privileged to photograph Emily and Matthew's wedding, just five minutes from our house. This was Joy's first wedding back shooting with me since little Campbell was born, so that made it even more special.
Emily getting ready with her girls.
Matthew wrote and performed a beautiful piece for his bride.
The creative portrait session.
Congratulations, Emily and Matthew, on your new life together. We wish you blessings and success as you begin this exciting new journey.

The skyscraper, which is by definition a habitable building that is at least ten floors but is frequently much higher, is really an architectural marvel. The first skyscrapers were designed and built in the 1850s, made possible by other inventions such as the elevator and improvements made to steel and glass frames. Today, the tallest skyscraper on record is in Dubai and is a shocking 163 stories.
New York is certainly no stranger to this style of building. There are thousands of them in the city, the tallest of which is One World Trade Center, completed in 2014 with a total of 104 floors. It took years and thousands of workers to create this structure – workers who are very aware of the dangers that are associated with working at great heights. No one is immune to these dangers – even those who have years of experience as one family recently learned.
A Horrifying Fall
On September 15th, 2016, a 52-year-old architect and owner of Crowne Architectural Systems was on the 47th floor of a skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan. He was there to take measurements for potential work to be done on the building. While the details still aren't clear, what authorities do know is that he bent over to do the necessary measurements and when he went to get back up, he somehow lost his footing and fell over the side of the building.
His fall took him over the 18-inch safety barrier along the edge and down to the second-floor landing of the building next door.
The impact of the more than 40-story fall caused several external and internal trauma and he did not survive. Paramedics pronounced him dead on their arrival.
A Potential Safety Mistake
Any time that someone is killed on the job, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Department of Buildings performs an investigation to determine what the cause of the accident was and if any safety violations were made.
A witness has reported that the victim appeared to become dizzy when he stood up which could have caused him to fall over. What makes this story all the more tragic, however, is that investigators have already determined that he was, in fact, wearing a safety harness which could have stopped his fall – but it wasn't tied off.
What Could Have Made Him Dizzy?
There are any number of reasons that the victim could have been dizzy. Disorientation from the height maybe have caused vertigo, he could have had an inner ear infection, blood pressure issues, or a number of other medical conditions.
The reality is that it doesn't matter what caused the architect to be dizzy and fall. Safety standards should ensure that workers who fall are saved.
What Will Happen If Safety Standards Were Violated?
Despite the fact that the victim was a business owner himself, he was likely hired to do work by another party. Whoever was in charge of overseeing the job site is responsible for making sure that safety equipment is available and properly in use.
Fall protection systems are the most commonly used form of gear and in addition to this, OSHA has outlined numerous rules and regulations regarding the use of "access equipment". This equipment is anything that allows a worker to safely work at a great height, such as scaffolding.
For example, regulations demand that scaffolding should:
- Be capable of carrying the intended maximum load without displacement.
- Should be capable of supporting four times the intended maximum weight.
- Have planking and platforms that are overlapped.
- Should be braced and connected by a line to secure structures to prevent swaying.
- Have guardrails that are no less than 36 inches high.
These are just a few of the hundreds of requirements that should be in place for just one system used in the construction of skyscrapers.
When the person or company responsible for making sure that ALL safety standards are in place fails to do so, they may face heavy fines, citations, could have their jobsite completely shut down, and may even face criminal charges.
State officials in New York have pushed for harsher punishments and increased safety on construction sites throughout the state over the past year. In fact, the Department of Buildings has hired an additional group of workers whose job it is to do random spot inspections of job sites.
In addition to being held accountable by the government, it is possible that, depending on the results of the investigation, the loved ones of the victim may choose to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Saudi Arabia along with 4 other countries Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Libya, and Egypt have terminated all its diplomatic relations with Qatar. In this regard, the UAE has given 48 hours to Qatar Embassy in the Abu Dhabi to leave the country or be ready for the consequences. As we know that the citizens of Gulf Countries can enter to another Gulf country without any visa, the Saudi and UAE government has given only 14 days to all the citizens of Qatar to get out of the respective countries. They will not be allowed to live after this period. Moreover, they are not allowed to enter the Kingdom now. Similarly, Saudi Arabia and UAE has banned all its citizens from crossing Qatar border through any means. However, this 14 days' ban will not be applied to those Qataris who are in Makkah or Madina. Recommended: Why Saudi Arabia along with 4 countries cut down relations with Qatar?[irp]
It has also been reported that Saudi Arabia is now in negotiations with other countries as well as multinational companies to stop their relations with the Qatar. Saudi Arabia has taken this decision due to various violations committed by Qatar authorities in the preceding years with the aim of creating strife among Saudi internal ranks, undermining its sovereignty and embracing various terrorist and sectarian groups aimed at destabilizing the region, including harboring Muslim Brotherhood, Daesh (so-called ISIS) and Al-Qaeda by means including instigations through its media channels. As they are involved in all this, Saudi Arabia has ordered Qatar troops to get out of the Muslim coalition in Yemen. By the way, Qatar is not the only country where Saudis are banned to travel. There are 6 other countries where Saudis are not allowed to travel. Recommended: Saudis are banned to travel these 7 countries
Al Ahli FC signed the contract with Qatar Airways on October 1, 2014, for three years and earlier this May the club had renewed the deal. However, early in the morning today (June 05, 2017) they have tweeted on the Twitter account that they are stepping back from this contract which will cause heavy losses to the Qatar Airways.
In the same way, Etihad Airways has also officially stated that they will terminate all its flight to and operate from Qatar from Tuesday, June 6, 2017. It means that all the people who have been traveling with Etihad Airways with a transit to Qatar or direct flights to Qatar should seek Etihad Airways advice to make necessary arrangements. flydubai has also canceled all its flights to Qatar.[irp]
People who have booked Qatar Airways flight with a transit visa to Saudi Arabia or with a transit to Qatar Airports should also contact the Qatar Airways. Qatar Airways is in the process of redirecting and diverting all its flights to abide by the airspace rules – as it can no longer fly over or into Saudi Arabia or the UAE. It also has yet to issue a statement on changes to flights. Moreover, there would be no on arrival visit visa of Qatar for Saudi Iqama Holders.

Bhubaneswar, 02.12.13: Odisha will be made free from AIDS by 2015. All-out
endeavours are being undertaken by the Health Dept. towards achieving this objective, announced Dr. Damodar Rout, Minister, Health & Family Welfare.
Speaking at a State level meeting to observe World AIDS Day jointly organised by the Health Department and Odisha State AIDS Control Society (OSACS) at Jayadev Bhawan, Dr. Rout said that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is not a health issue alone; it is also a social & economical issue. Teenagers are more susceptible to AIDS.
At present, HIV/AIDS is mostly found among youth and about 90% are in the age group of 15-49 years. So, awareness on the dreaded disease should start from school and college level. Multi-sectoral projects to spread awareness on HIV/AIDS and promote safe behavioural practices are pivotal in checking this menace.
Disseminating information regarding primary prevention services, developing and understanding about the infection to reduce stigma & discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS, strengthening people's knowledge about the measures to be taken to prevent getting HIV/AIDS and adopting preventive health habits & lifestyle will go a long way in preventing AIDS. Rapid urbanization, industrialization and unhealthy lifestyle are the main causes of all health hazards and 15 percent of those infected with HIV are from BPL-families.
'Prevention is better than treatment to cure' is the best-suited strategy in case of Odisha, said Dr. Rout. Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Sri P. K. Mohapatra informed that 2,583 HIV positive cases have been detected in our State this year. The total number of people infected with HIV in the State stands at 30,000 presently. Major efforts are being made to reenergise the endeavours and multiply participative processes.
Sri Mahapatra stressed people to test blood regularly and repeated that the State government aims at making the State completely free of AIDS within 2015. Among others, MLA Bhagirathi Badajena and Dhiren Kumar Patnaik, Project Director, OSACS were present at the meet.

Land of a Thousand Dreams
eBook available at your favorite eRetailer.
In Book Three of BJ Hoff's bestselling Emerald Ballad saga set near the middle of the 19th century, Irish patriot Morgan Fitzgerald, felled by a gunman's bullet, strives to restore his life and reclaim his future. But even as he takes steps to provide a home for Belfast orphan Annie Delaney and nurture his love for the beautiful, mute Finola, he finds himself again locked in a fierce battle with the powers of darkness.
In America, Morgan's friends Michael Burke and Nora Whittaker discover that the "Land of Opportunity" also teems with poverty, injustice, and corruption. From the opulence of Fifth Avenue to the squalor of the city's slums, he fights against not only the evil running riot through the streets, but the immoral schemes of an old enemy bent on destroying Michael, the woman he loves, and his only son.
Readers will be mesmerized by a drama that spans an ocean, taking them on a journey of faith and love that encompasses the dreams of an entire people seeking not only survival, but a land of hope where they can live in freedom and peace.

Skullgirls studio launching Indivisible in October
I'd almost forgotten about Indivisible, the hand-drawn platforming action-RPG from Skullgirls studio Lab Zero Game. Oh we've seen bits and pieces in the four years since its crowdfunding campaign, but it slipped onto the back burner. Soon it will leap onto… the front burner? I'm not sure how to adapt this metaphor. I'm trying to say that Indivisible finally has a release date and it's coming up fairly soon: October 8th. Here, come have a look in the new trailer. I am delighted to see one potential party member is a giant fluffy dog.

The Killing Floor 2 devs will sell weapon DLC for real money to keep the game going
Killing Floor 2 has been around for almost three years now, and while the game presumably still has a fanbase, developer Tripwire Interactive is almost certainly ready to move on to its next game – possibly even Killing Floor 3. However, Killing Floor 2 has mostly stayed popular through the continuous free updates from Tripwire over the years – and while the developer wants to keep the game going, it's apparently no longer in a position to offer those free updates anymore – and so the next DLC to get released will cost real money.

Outer Wilds publisher says 'we're not going anywhere' following bankruptcy speculation
Annapurna Interactive has published some great games over the past few years, including What Remains of Edith Finch, Gorogoa, Donut County, and the widely acclaimed Outer Wilds. But its parent, the film company Annapurna Pictures, isn't faring quite as well. According to Hollywood Reporter, the company is exploring bankruptcy options following the poor box office performance of films including The Sisters Brothers (which I thought looked fun) and Destroyer.

We Do Not Need To Defend Video Games From Politicians
Video games will continue to be a scapegoat for disingenuous lawmakers and lobbyists for as long as a scapegoat is needed. And as long as gun violence remains a problem in America, a scapegoat will be needed. Every second spent defending video games from blame is a second not spent addressing the root causes of what's become weekly massacres: a complete lack of sensible gun control, a government utterly disinterested in even entertaining the possibility of said gun control, or combating the racist and misogynist ideologies that fuel the men who massacre the innocent.
Walmart Removes Violent Video Game Signage, Still Sells Guns
The retailer is asking employees to take down signage and playable demos for violent video games, as well as hunting videos, in the wake of shootings at two of its stores.
The video game industry must stand up against the right's bad-faith attacks
There are some explanations, and they're not good ones. The satirical website Point-and-Clickbait posted a barely joking article after the shootings about how the ESA might consider donating slightly less to President Trump when he blamed games. Meanwhile, Vice's Rob Zacny makes the clever argument that the ESA's current scandal of accidentally/deliberately leaking media members' private information and their inability to rise to the need of the industry when its under attack both stem from its short-sighted profits-over-people mentality, where it praises tax cuts for the megacorporations and seems to stand for nothing else.
Video Game Consoles Won't Get Pricier In America, At Least For Now
A 10 percent tax on video game consoles and other consumer electronics has been delayed until December 15, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced today.

Apex Legends tournament pulled from TV following US shootings
The decision to pull the weekend broadcast was confirmed to RPS by an ESPN spokesperson, who tells us the tournament will now be broadcast on the channel in October. "The decision was made out of respect for the victims and all those impacted in the immediate aftermath of the shootings and it seemed the prudent thing to do given the swirl of that moment," they said.
You Should Watch Ultra Fight Da ! Kyanta 2's Tournament at Evo 2019
As I'm sure anyone who follows fighting games will tell you, the genre is currently in the midst of an extremely strong period in its history. Even if its biggest name Street Fighter V has struggled, other games like Tekken 7, UNIST, or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have only increased in popularity and recognition, leading to one of the most stacked lineups of any Evo tournament ever this year. Despite all this, there was one game in particular that I've been obsessed with and eagerly awaiting for weeks, a tiny, free indie game made by one person being played in a small side tournament under the AnimEVO umbrella. That game is, of course, Harameself's Ultra Fight Da ! Kyanta 2.
Russia wins Playerunknown's Battlegrounds Nations Cup, UK manages not to come last
Competitive Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is a strange beast. Teams rack up points across multiple games for eliminating others and being one of the last few left alive, in various amounts depending on the tournament. That usually means that you can tell who's going to win before the end, but not this time. Home team South Korea had pulled ahead early and stayed there – until the last game, where Russia pipped them to the post. And down at the bottom of the table, Great Britain managed to save themselves from last place by a single point.

Riot Employees Say Company Has Made Real Progress Fixing Its Sexism Issues
In the year since Kotaku's investigation into sexism at Riot Games, the 2,500-person company behind League of Legends, the company has crafted and self-injected its proposed antidote to its so-called "bro culture."
Over the last week, 14 current or recent Riot employees spoke with Kotaku about the game company's forward momentum toward equitable workplace conditions. Now that it's all out in the open—the slanted hiring practices, the chauvinism, the ball-tapping frat antics—employees are witnessing the rollout of a belated justice. Everybody we spoke to was optimistic about the future of Riot Games, even as some at the company disagree on how best to implement cultural change.
After It Doxxed 2000 Journalists, Why Should We Ever Trust the ESA Again?
In a world personal data can be used as a weapon by harassers and hackers, the risk of attending E3 has gone way up.
For MMO diehards, there's only one conversation: is the genre dying or already dead?
"Where can I find a contiguous, massively multiplayer experience? Not a solo experience. Not instanced. A living breathing economy, a world to exist in. I've been chasing this since I first experienced MMOs with RuneScape and WoW in 2004," they continue. "Does it exist? Am I just missing the shining diamond in the pile of dirt that is this whole genre? … Everywhere I look, it seems people are burnt out on the modern MMO experience, yet where is the alternative? Where is my simulated massively multiplayer world? Emergent gameplay? … Why don't MMOs exist anymore?"
In retrospect, the MMO apogee was about as intense as it was misguided. Just look at some of the names on these tombstones: Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, Warhammer Online, The Matrix Online, Everquest Next. What about the MMOs that remain online, toiling for a splinter of the boom? Star Wars: The Old Republic and Final Fantasy 14 recovered from famously ignominious launches. Elder Scrolls Online is still telling new stories. Plenty others fight for tiny scraps of the MMO population. But many more have died. As the body count piled up, it became clear that there could really only be one World of Warcraft.
Perfect Character Balance Is 'Boring,' Says Samurai Shodown Director
During Evo 2019, I sat down with Samurai Shodown director Nobuyuki Kuroki to discuss his work on the new game. Since the game's release in June, players have noticed some character balance issues in Samurai Shodown. In our interview, Kuroki admitted he's not a fan of making the power diversity in the game's cast "too flat."

Something about The Witcher 3 makes finding your way around its largest city, Novigrad, surprisingly intuitive. This defies an easy explanation, but at least part of Novigrad's legibility comes from a quirk of our own psychology.
"Killing Nuance," by Reid McCarter
This seems like the logical progression of the increasingly flimsy storytelling that's filled The New Order and its direct sequel, 2017's The New Colossus. Both of those games, despite the surface-level exceptions of The New Order's multinational band of resistance fighters, are pop historical revisionism of an ugly sort. They eagerly reconfigure the nuances of the Second World War's calamitous fighting into a simplistic core. Rather than confront less obvious facts about the War or the modern world, the games consist almost entirely of digestible moral outrage over a distant Nazi Germany; rather than acknowledge how fascism has slithered into today's mainstream culture, Wolfenstein is is a series that dangerously attempts to both assert the mythological goodness of post-war America and gesture broadly toward a base acknowledgement of the country's abhorrent 20th century history.
Fire Emblem Doesn't Just Need Gay Characters, It Needs Queer Life
In preparing to write this article, I watched video of some of the S-rank romantic supports main character Byleth can have in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. As I'm still playing through the game myself, I needed context for the ongoing discussion about the same-gender romantic supports in the game. I was entirely prepared to be angry at the male/male options in the game, which are—to be blunt—incredibly bad on multiple levels. What I did not expect was to watch Byleth's marriage proposal to Edelgard and be infuriated by it.
One of Judgment's Biggest Enemies is Male Entitlement
Judgment is one of my favorite games of this year. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku, as a spin-off to the Yakuza series, the tonally different Judgment is full of fun but has the heart of a nitty-gritty detective drama by which you can't help but become enraptured. The story is one of the best I've seen and you'll often feel the weight of the moral choices Yagami and co. have to make long after you've put the controller down. Everyone is complex and the line between friend and enemy often blurs.
Baba is You is a Postmodern Masterpiece
Baba Is You is the unique puzzle game from Finnish developer Arvi Teikari where you solve puzzles by manipulating their established rules in order to get the eponymous Baba to their goal. The distinctive PC and Switch game is clever, difficult, and takes a very postmodern approach to designing both puzzles and games.

HP TC4400 Tablet PC Price in Pakistan Details:
Common understanding states that change arises from within, an axiom that H . p . has needed to heart while using tc4400 pc tablet. Physically much like its predecessor, the tc4200, the tc4400's up-to-date model number signifies basically a refresh in the components inside its situation: brand-new Core 2 Duo processors, an up-to-date chipset, room for further RAM, and bigger hard disk drive abilities. Fortunately, the business also dropped the tablet's cost to $1,479 (our review unit incorporated a few upgrades that introduced the cost with a still-competitive $2,099). The up-to-date components enable the tc4400 to keep pace focusing on a single pills in the marketplace, such as the $1,933 Gateway M285-E as well as the $2,429 Fujitsu LifeBook T4215. Concerning the eve in the Microsoft Vista launch, it's worth watching the tc4400 (similar to other business laptops) is "Vista capable," meaning it'll be capable of handle the completely new operating-system, however in the likely cost of some key options that include Vista's renovated interface. Nonetheless, the H . p . Compaq tc4400 is smart for companies which are searching to suit their existing quantity of H . p . laptops and companies without any Vista upgrade intentions from the horizon. Everyone else would do better to hang about until H . p . refreshes its business line later this year.
Because the tc4400 is physically much like its predecessor, please see the full summary of the H . p . Compaq tc4200 for complete particulars in regards to the tablet's design, features, and warranty.
Where the two models differ is at components. Though H . p . offers several designs in the tc4400, our $2,099 review unit incorporated a greater-finish 2.16GHz Apple Core 2 Duo T7400 processor, 512MB of quick 667MHz RAM, an average 80GB, 5,400rpm hard disk drive, and integrated Apple 945GM Express graphics that borrow around 128MB of system memory. On CNET Labs' performance benchmarks, the tc4400 saved pace while using Gateway M285-E as well as the Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 inside the iTunes encoding and office productivity modules. The tc4400 was hobbled, however, by its scant RAM when it found the multitasking and Illustrator benchmarks it absolutely was easily bested by its two tablet rivals, because both versions had two occasions as much RAM.
Growing the tc4400's RAM to 1GB costs $85–a wise investment, specifically if you intend to upgrade by home windows Vista eventually afterwards. Potential Vista clients must also realize that the tc4400's integrated graphics card will most likely hinder having the ability to render the operating system's new Aero interface and may affect additional circumstances in the consumer experience. You'll be able to run Vista concerning the tc4400, though, in the event you just need to take full advantage of its new search and security measures.
