Yongqiang Liu is a research meteorologist at the Southern Research Station. He grew up in the city of Yangzhou in Eastern China, about 150 miles from Shanghai. With its 2500-year-old history, Yangzhou is rich in traditional Chinese culture. This had a profound impact upon Liu, leading him to an interest in traditional Chinese arts, such as calligraphy and poems, when he was very young. These interests have remained a part of his life, even though he left China in the early 1990s.
Who or what inspired you growing up?
My K–12 life was during the so-called "Cultural Revolution," a 10-year period when China was almost isolated from the West. However, a newspaper called Reference News was available to the public, and this publication reported important scientific news from around the world. I still remember reading a report describing how changes in the Earth's orbit had caused the ice age. It seemed like magic to me to be able to foresee something that could happen thousands of years in advance, and that inspired my interest in weather and climate forecast.
What do you like to do for fun in your free time?
I like to practice Chinese calligraphy, an art of writing Chinese characters using brush and ink on rice paper. Chinese characters are written in varied styles of regular, official, seal, running hand and cursive hand. In addition to enjoying the beauty of Chinese characters, calligraphy is also a good way to be focused and patient and to calm the mind, something like practicing Chinese Taiji.
What do you do in the Forest Service, and when did you start working here?
I started my job in the Forest Service as a research meteorologist in 2002. In my position, I study forest disturbances including wildland fires, afforestation/deforestation and climate variability/climate change. I want to know the impacts of climate on wildfire and provide tools for managers and policy-makers to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies. I simulate smoke transport and air quality effects to help manage maximum use of prescribed burning tools while meeting the increasingly tough air quality regulations. I analyze the feedbacks of wildfires to climate to improve climate and earth system modeling. I also develop modeling tools to investigate the forest ecosystem and climate interactions related to land cover change and other forest disturbances.
What is your favorite part of your job?
My research is related to two of the most active topics in the last couple of decades for both researchers and managers, that is, wildfire and climate variability/climate change. Wildfires, especially mega-fires, have increased in the recent two decades in many regions of the world, including the United States. Meanwhile, a so-called "century" drought has prevailed in the western United States since the beginning of the 21st century, and this is considered to be a major contributor to the increasing wildfires. To work on these two important issues to understand their relationships and management implications is my favorite part of my job.
How has your education, background or personal experiences prepared you for the work that you do now?
My major in college and graduate school was atmospheric science. Math and numerical tools are needed to solve the complex equations controlling atmospheric processes. Thus, I took many courses in math, physics and computer programming, which are essential for my current research. My doctoral thesis was about air, land and vegetation interactions. Working on my thesis was the first time that I recognized the important connection between ecosystems and climate. Before joining the Forest Service, I worked on regional climate models, which consist of coupled atmosphere and land-surface components. Regional climate modeling is now a very useful tool for my research on forest disturbances.
Describe a recent, current or upcoming project that you're currently working on.
I am working on a project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on future wildfires and their air quality and human health impacts in the United States. This is a collaborative effort between the Forest Service and universities: the role of the Forest Service is to project future wildfires and estimate fire emissions. The preliminary results show that fire emissions will increase by more than 50 percent by the middle of this century due to increasing fires and fuel loading under changing climate. The fire emission projections have been provided to the collaborating universities for further research on the air quality and human health impacts.
Describe a professional or personal achievement that you are particularly proud of.
It has been long-recognized that drought is a driver of large wildfires. I conducted a study, probably the earliest one of this kind in the climate and fire communities, to look at the opposite side of the situation, that is, the impacts of wildfires on drought. I used a regional climate model to simulate the 1988 Yellowstone fires and showed that the smoke particle emissions from the wildfires changed atmospheric radiation and precipitation, which might have enhanced the severe northern U.S. drought that prevailed during the Yellowstone fires.
Why do you think your field is important?
Wildland fires (including wildfire and prescribed fire) are among the strategic priorities of Forest Service research and development. Wildfires are a natural ecological process that helps shape the structure and functions of many species. However, wildfires lead to severe damages to forests, the environment, and human property and life. Predicting wildfire activity is essential for planning and preventing the adverse impacts of wildfires. Prescribed fire is a management tool to reduce hazardous fuels and wildfire risk. Its implementation is limited by safety, efficiency and air quality concerns. Understanding burn conditions helps land managers ensure that prescribed fire reaches identified management goals while minimizing negative consequences.
What are some of the greatest challenges confronting your field?
Fire and smoke vary remarkably and interactively in space and time. They also interact with fuels and the atmosphere. The challenges for fire and smoke research include understanding these complex interactions and feedbacks, developing integrated high-resolution modeling and prediction systems, and obtaining field measurements for model development and evaluation.
What are some of the most promising strategies being used by the Forest Service to address these challenges?
The Forest Service and other federal agencies are planning and implementing comprehensive field campaigns as a strategy for addressing these challenges. Recently, I participated in the modeling efforts of the Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment, a project led by the Forest Service. During Phase I, we identified major issues for model improvement and the most critical observational needs for the development of the dynamic, more coupled and high-resolution next-generation smoke research and forecasting systems. The Phase II of FASMEE will conduct comprehensive measurements of forest fuels and consumption, fire behavior and energy, smoke and meteorology, and emissions and chemistry starting in late spring/early summer 2019.
How would you like the public to perceive the work we do at the Forest Service?
Forests improve our lives by moderating local climate, providing fresh water and air, and absorbing atmospheric carbon. However, these functions are under threat due to increasing disturbances such as wildfires. The public deserves to be better informed of the threats, causes and solutions, how their lives would be affected, and what resources and supports are available to reduce adverse impacts. I would like the public to see our work as a valuable source of the information they need.
Do you have any advice for someone wanting to serve their country as a Forest Service employee?
During my research on wildfire for nearly two decades, I have seen increasing interactions among scientific disciplines. For example, wildfire was traditionally an issue of ecology; it is now also an issue of air quality, human health, climate science and soil science. I would like to suggest to someone wanting to serve the country as a Forest Service researcher to prepare by gathering knowledge and developing skills in multiple disciplines.

Within corporate training, peer-to-peer interaction plays a significant role. Experts believe that satisfying collaborative experience between students helps in producing potential outcomes. Besides being a useful business plan, this kind of collaborative training program develops a spirit of community among the associates, helping in delivering profitable brings about the organization's productivity. Developing an awareness of community is integral to the success of a business work out. Integration with effective training registration software, you may make efficient group formats at a learning environment that helps in conducting successful training programs. It's a fact that individual behaviour is likely to be affected by the group he could be directly dealing with. Hence, as soon as an organization is working together to reach a frequent goal, human members are more focused on playing their own part for perfection. If you're searching for additional details on training management system, look into the previously mentioned website.
To attain this intent, frequent interaction is more fundamental. With an exercise Management System in place, educators and training coordinators can easily attain exactly the same. Through the usage of training enrollment software, it's rather simple to invite students to interact via using group chats, IMs, conferences, blogs, wikis, etc. Pros believea steady peer-to-peer interaction helps developing a sense of how"us", which in the long run helps to attain productive results in terms of profitability. With a training management platform, it is possible to make study materials open to several students, even if they are geographically dispersed. Thus, learners residing in many locations can participate in training programs simultaneously. Students may even download study stuff as and if demanded from the servers. It generates education and training more effective and engaging. A training or class registration software allows teachers to rate the group and individual progress on a regular foundation. With it a wide range of automated tools, such as online assessment, automatic marking, and training co-ordinators can conduct a valuable training sessions. What's more! An exercise management system helps to track when employees are able to complete their course requirements efficiently. In case they fail to know any particular topic or subjects, teachers can easily track and may deliver training at the future. A training enrollment system allows educators in addition to students to think outside the box.
With this particular software system, infinite opportunities have exposed in the sphere of education and employee training. A software system like this helps in creating a digital learning environment through web conferencing and instant messaging. Organizations are integrating course management system in their training programs that develop cuttingedge technology solution to make workout sessions successful. Training Management Systems are software which may assist you to manage your employees efficiently. If you own a small company with just a few employees, then you wont require this, however, you might use it for a much easier delegation of tasks. Now, on the other hand, for those who have a sizable company with different branches, a viable management system is the thing you must acquire your workplace running smoothly. Before, large companies don't have the advantage of this software to aid them in their management businesses.

From accounts and marketing to the divisions where new medicines are developed, there's no one here now who doesn't work with technology," says Herman De Prins. "In our labs, every experiment is captured electronically these days. This is the only way we can extract as much information as possible from the data. It involves a substantial amount of big data and data analytics. We also run hundreds of scientific applications, for computer aided drug design, for instance.
With apps like this, the cloud and high-performance computing play a major role, as well." Over the past few years, the use of technology has progressed even further. "In clinical studies, we now introduce sensors and wearables with accompanying apps for patients. That way, for instance, we can generate additional data which either come from the sensor or are entered by the patient. This gives us a better picture of how the patient is dealing with the illness."
Developments in e-health are happening at lightning speed. Will we ever leave diagnoses to computers? "The doctor will always have the final word, but computers will be trusted more and more. Look, how does a doctor reach a diagnosis at the moment? His judgment is formed by his training, additional training that he follows and his practical experience. A system of artificial intelligence in combination with access to clinical data can generate insights based on data from millions of patients. It would be crazy not to do anything with that." The IT department at UCB now has a team of about 240 people. "There is a very wide range of profiles," said De Prins. "Infrastructure specialists, SAP architects, but also more and more digital specialists and data scientists. They are still rare, but we can attract them fairly well. UCB's good reputation has a lot to do with that."
De Prins describes his own management style as one of healthy delegation. "The hierarchy is there, but I do try to be in tune with my people. I try to delegate as much as possible in projects. For me, a project stops once the budget has been approved. After that, I just get to deal with escalations. It would be impossible for me to follow up every project in detail. I do set aside a lot of time for putting out feelers and going out on the road myself. For instance, a trip to Silicon Valley is planned soon. We're going to look at how startups approach things and anticipate our own future. It's good to find out how different clocks tick."
UCB (www.ucb.com) is a worldwide biopharmaceutical company that focuses on discovering and developing innovative drugs and solutions to transform the lives of people with serious illnesses in immunology and neurology. The company has over 7,500 employees in around 40 countries. In 2014, its income amounted to €3.9 billion. UCB is listed on Euronext Brussels.
Has been CIO of UCB since October 2009. Before that, he was Vice-President IT at Medtronic and IT Director at Guidant and Abbott Vascular. He spends much of his free time cycling. He was elected CIO of the Year 2016 by datanews.

Oil company announces on Sunday for a new reduction in the prices of oil derivatives starting next Saturday in the next month 2 Nov.
In a statement obtained to Saba news agency, the company announced the price of the oil of twenty liters 650 YR and the diesel price of twenty liters750 YR.
The economic crisis is more dangerous than battles: hunger kills more people because we cannot flee it.
But aid experts and U.N. officials say a more insidious form of warfare is also being waged in Yemen, an economic war that is exacting a far greater toll on civilians and now risks tipping the country into a famine of catastrophic proportions.
Relentless Saudi-led bombing in Yemen is not the only form of assault pushing millions to the brink of famine: the Hadi government is also spearheading a campaign of "economic warfare" as it refuses to pay civil servants and the national currency collapses.
The four-year-old war is threatening half of Yemen's 28m population with starvation, according to the UN, which says children are already dying of hunger.

Syndicate SG
Local collective Syndicate SG is intent on redefining the Singapore club scene.
It is not just about rhythmic beats and surreal soundscapes, but has a strong visual element to its work as well.
At its upcoming performance at The O.P.E.N., artist Muhammad "SSYSTM" Heider Bin Ismail will be creating images live, to accompany musicians Louis "Intriguant" Quek and Wang "Yllis" Wei Yang.
Muhammad, 26, says the images he creates will be based on the Game Of Life, an automated programme created by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
"As the music has parts which are filled with different melodies, sounds and vocals, I will pick parts of each song to react to visually by using colours and patterns created by the game," he adds.
He will be pairing images and colours generated by the programme to different points in the music. Both the music and game are otherwise unrelated.
The artist will be accompanying Quek, 27, who describes his music as "a recollection of the past and present sculpted into clouds of textural soundscapes and beats-driven groove".
Quek incorporates field recordings into his work and brings a handheld recorder whenever he travels.
For the track Chance Of Coins from his debut album Ellipse, some sounds were recorded at a temple in Bangkok, Thailand.
"There were bowls surrounding the perimeter of the temple and people would drop a coin into these bowls as they walk around, like how someone would toss coins into a wishing well," he says.
"The sounds in the temple filled the entire space and in that moment I whipped out my recorder."
Quek will be playing alongside Wang, 29. Wang's sound is an electronic blend of hip-hop and post-rock influences, with a futuristic, imaginative slant.
He says: "I imagine the world in five to 10 years, I imagine a fictional storyline and what people in this world would be like. Then, I try to write the soundtrack to this movie."

Cristian Duarte
American musical actor Gene Kelly, King of Pop Michael Jackson, dance legend Pina Bausch and action star Bruce Lee will all be present in spirit at The Hot One Hundred Choreographers.
The work by Brazilian dancerchoreographer Cristian Duarte brings together a century of dancers and movement artists who have influenced him over the course of his career and melds them all into an arresting solo performance.
"I started to work with it because I was intrigued by so much questioning about dance education and training I was hearing around me. I started questioning myself about my own dance education," he says.
"Then, I thought to generate a context where I could look at not only all the dance materials and techniques I am trained in, but also those I wished to have had the training for."
He culled the list by looking at dancers whose dances he has "experienced and who informed my dance education, and pushed me to follow dance as my profession".
They are a blend of well-known figures in the world of dance and movement, such as Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky and prolific choreographer Marius Petipa, as well as others he has met.
The other work he will be presenting at The O.P.E.N. is Biomashup, which will be performed by six dancers and one musician on the theremin, a movementcontrolled instrument.
"In Biomashup, I was interested in the dancers' archives, their personal collections of dance," he says.
The work began as a practice, before evolving into a full-fledged performance. He also chose to focus on the legs as a source of dance material, incorporating anything from daily movements, such as walking, to ballet.
He says of the working process: "We were not improvising to select material. Actually, I was asking them not to improvise. I asked that each movement they were delivering should already be it."
He would ask them to move all together for an hour non-stop, with this in mind.
"My notes and observations were given while they were moving. I would ask them not to stop moving and include my observations and notes while they were doing so... We had both insideexperience notes and after-notes. Both played different roles in the understanding of the making and performing."

Pushpamala N.
At first glance, Pushpamala N.'s 2014 photograph The Arrival Of Vasco Da Gama looks like its 1898 namesake painting by Portuguese artist Jose Veloso Salgado.
The painting depicts the Portuguese explorer's first contact with India after discovering a direct sea route there from Europe.
But take a look again and you will see subtle differences.
The carpet is not angled exactly the same, the golden wine jug at the bottomright corner is plain in the picture, but ornately decorated in the painting.
And in the photograph, the central figure da Gama, resplendent in a red cloak and royal blue tunic, cuts an oddly feminine figure.
That is because da Gama is portrayed by artist Pushpamala herself, disguised with a beard and a feathered velvet hat.
"This is what I do in many of my works - I deconstruct the history, image and archetypes of the original," she says.
The Bangalore-based artist, 59, explains that while in the painting, da Gama cuts a noble figure, he was in fact unsuccessful at negotiating a trade agreement with the Indian ruler, who was unimpressed by the goods da Gama had brought.
"So, this so-called historical painting is actually fantasy and myth," she says.
Pushpamala began her career as a sculptor, but in the mid-1990s transitioned to video and photography as her media of choice.
"I am very interested in narration and, with photography and video, you can use narration in different ways. It can be very concrete and specific or very conceptual, as opposed to sculpture, which can be a little static."
She will be holding an exhibition and a talk at The O.P.E.N.
Her take on The Arrival Of Vasco Da Gama will be on display, accompanied by props and costumes which she used in the photograph.
Her talk will be on Avega, The Passion, a photo-and-video series in which she explores the archetype of three female characters in the Indian epic Ramayana.
Pushpamala says that although many of her works reference history and mythology, there is always a contemporary link.
"I take a lot from the past and history because history informs the present. The Ramayana is very popular throughout India and South-east Asia and is also very central to Indian politics today."

Muto Daisuke and Nanako Nakajima
Seven dance-makers from Japan, seven from the Asia-Pacific and seven mysterious archive boxes filled with artefacts representing key elements of a dance.
A handover of those boxes from the Japanese dance-makers to their counterparts in the region will inspire a presentation which is part of Dance Marathon - Open With A Punk Spirit!, a 16-day dance festival within the Singapore International Festival of Arts.
Before that, though, Japanese dance critic Muto Daisuke and dance researcher Nanako Nakajima will be here as part of The O.P.E.N.
Daisuke will deliver a talk about the historical influences and principles which inform the work of the seven Japanese dancers, whose careers he has been following for more than two decades.
He says that contemporary dance in Japan has developed since the 1990s, "largely stimulated by continual exposure to European productions by those such as Pina Bausch, William Forsythe or Rosas, and it reached its creative phase around 2000".
"The characteristics of the works in this period might be summarised as intimacy with the audience or humanscale corporeality, rather than huge spectacular stage presentation... I have once defined it as 'anti-spectacle' aesthetics, interestingly resembling the American avant-garde in 1960s."
He says that in Japan, dance-makers emerged from different backgrounds such as ballet, modern dance, butoh, theatre and visual arts, and adds that Japanese contemporary dance differs greatly from those from other countries in Asia.
"The largest difference is the relationship with 'traditional' culture. After butoh, the Japanese dance scene has been obsessively remote from that element. Compared with South Korea, India and Indonesia, for instance, this tendency of Japanese dance is obvious."
As for the seven boxes, Daisuke says he knows as much about them as the audience - in other words, nothing at all.
The Japanese choregraphers were asked by the festival organisers to put in the boxes anything that inspired their work, which could in turn inspire another Asian choreographer in a different way.
"No one knows what will happen among individuals and cultures. I'm so thrilled," says Daisuke.

Toyo Ito
After the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the World Bank estimated that the economic cost of the destruction totalled US$235 billion, the most of any natural disaster.
But the toll of the catastrophe was a lot more than monetary. Families and lives were extinguished in an instant, buildings were reduced to rubble and a nuclear meltdown has rendered the area around the Fukushima power plant uninhabitable for years to come.
On the barren ground of disaster, though, seeds of hope have been sown. One such seedling is a project by Japanese Pritzker prize-winning architect Toyo Ito, titled Home-For-All.
The project consists of communal huts for people who have been affected by the disaster to gather and interact with one another in. As of February, a dozen such homes have been constructed and three more are in the pipeline.
Festival director Ong Keng Sen says that after a trip to Japan, post-tsunami, he "realised that all these structures, these tall buildings, these manmade things are very easily destroyed".
"The empire that is all around us, the consumerism, are so easily broken. What remains after is a sort of ecological sustainability, an equilibrium with resources in nature. In that sort of a world, the architect is extremely important, to create homes where we can live in and interact again. It's about what happens after a national crisis."
Ito, 73, will be delivering the keynote address of The O.P.E.N., titled The Role Of Tomorrow's Architects.
He will be speaking about the possibilities and promises of architecture. In a world where homes are built primarily for the individual, he will share about the process, joys and challenges he faced in designing a communal platform for interaction.

18-year-old arrested in Ikorodu for selling bars of soap as mobile phones
The 18-year-old was arrested by officers on a routine patrol of Ikorodu Motor Park while he was trying to defraud a man.
Items such as fake phones, key soap cut to size, shirts, some amount of money, packet of envelopes and cut to size cartons were found on him.
Adeyefa, narrating what made him go into the act, said: "My action was prompted when I was swindled by two guys about a year ago by this way. That very moment, I promised myself to revenge.
"I learned those tactics by understudying the material. The item contained cut-to-size soap, carton and wrapped all together with a cello tape.
"What I usually do is called exchange. My prospective victims will have the mind of buying the handset from me but unknowingly to them, I would have changed the real handset to soap wrapped with a cut to size carton put inside an envelope."
"I will engage them in discussion after showing them the real phone initially, and in the process of bargaining for the price, I will change it.
"I will tell them to keep the phone inside their pockets immediately that people are watching us."
The suspect further stated that the demise of his master who was teaching him plumbing work, also led him into the criminal act.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo Badmus, while confirming the arrest warned the general public to be careful of individuals who sell phones on highways in order not to fall victim of con men.
The suspect has been transferred to Lagos State Task Force on Environment for further prosecution.

We carry gorgeous art papers like the piece above. I went in yesterday to make a paper cone (I'll post pictures of that later) with pretty paper and lovely silk ribbons for the upcoming one year old birthday for our sweet little grand daughter, Ruby. I used the birdie paper to make my own cone for the spare bedroom. Speaking of the spare bedroom, I mixed up some chalk paint and painted this little dry sink apple green!
We have several gorgeous pieces of chalk painted furniture in the shop. I got the bug to paint, and love how this piece turned out. Especially the pretty brown showing through the green and that bit of a distressed look. Here it is below with everything back in it's place.
I think it looks smashing against the red walls with the addition of my hedgeapple rug. I also acquired what I call the "Channel No. 5" lamp from Robin's. Having a regular job has given me gobs more energy, and a bit creative stimulation to begin new projects around the house.
I spent this afternoon with Tammy, do check out her new blog LoYoLife
We've been trying to figure out what we'll be doing for our upcoming Heather Richie rug camp. Here's the beginning of my newest rug.
Oh dear.... I actually do have a plan, but more on that later. I do want you to know that I'm still rug hooking. This piece is going to be larger than what I've been doing, and I'm really looking forward to getting started.
One more lovely thing about the new job at Vintage Suitcase is ...... hubby waiting for me when I get home with a nice glass of wine.....
And, of course, our little cat Iris.
By the way, some these pictures are the result of my new camera app, Camera Plus. I've had fun playing with the various effects I can get.
Have a very creative day!

In honor of it now being available on Steam, I revisited Moacube's Cinders.
Basic Premise: Shape Cinderella's character, attitude, and reactions to her upbringing and choose how she escapes. The many character trait and action choices that actually impact the story's end make this visual novel stand out. I've played through it several times and still have not found all the paths.
Music: Most visual novels' and sims' soundtracks have me hunting for the mute button, but this one is gorgeous. You can download the soundtrack here.
Visuals: Gracjana Zielinska's art has a detailed, ethereal quality without becoming prissy or cutesy. It's beautiful. I'm so pleased she's returning for Solstice.
Programming: I appreciate the ability to quickly skip through already viewed scenes with one button press. All visual novels should implement this.
That noise, dear friend, is the characters' dialog and the insights into their behavior being delivered with all the subtlety of a frying pan to the back of the skull. The reader is never left to infer anything. Cinders' inner monologue or other characters will spell it out. During the first long conversation between Cinders and Sophia, they tell their back-story and motivations to one another without the reservation and self-protection that the back-story would naturally have bred.
It drove me crazy until I remembered Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. Yes, the two works don't seem to have much in common but bear with me. Like Karazmov, Cinders uses characters to represent a consistent type of person rather than how you and I would interact on a day-to-day basis. Once you go with it, they both deliver a good story and observations on human nature.
Boom. A 2012 visual novel saved by Dostoevsky.
Writing: The banter between characters usually makes me smirk (Sophia and Gloria should have their own spin-off). The only exception is the romantic dialog. Excuse me for a moment, game, while I fetch some nachos to go with all this cheese. Fortunately, the game has many endings with no romance whatsoever.
Writing: The grammar, spelling, and word choice are nearly perfect. Kudos to the editor.
Female Characters: The writers clearly spent more of their effort developing the women. Cinders, Carmosa, Gloria, Sophia, and Madame Ghede all have distinct personalities and goals. Sophia's snark is always welcome: "The only things missing from this picture is holding hands and singing. And dancing. Possibly in circles. In the middle of a flowery meadow. I think I might throw up." I want an ending in which she and Cinders escape together.
Male Characters: The men aren't bad, but they lack the depth and care the women received. I won't dwell on them (particularly since the developer has already addressed this), but here's a brief run-down.
Tobias: A childhood friend who tends to deliver motivation speaker advice with the aforementioned frying pan; I want to like you, Toby, but you have to stop thwacking me over the head.
Perrault: A guard captain caught between duty and ethics, he is my favorite of the three.
Prince Basile: The least developed of the three, though the conversations between him and Perrault are good. He and Cinders discuss Levia Malich's work in a scene ripped straight from Ever After, but other than that I enjoy their interactions.
Bottom Line: I recommend this to anyone (not just women) who wants a strong, competent protagonist and enjoys tinkering to discover different endings. If you happen to have a snarky sense of humor, even better.
Moacube's Cinders is available on PC and Mac.

Oscars 2015: Julianne Moore wins best actress
The 54-year-old actress has picked up her first golden statuette for her role in Still Alice
Julianne Moore has won best actress at this year's Oscars.
The 54-year-old actress has picked up the prize for her role in Richard Glatzer's film Still Alice.
Collecting her coveted award, Moore said: "Thank you so much. I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living give years longer. If that's true I'd really like to thank the Academy because my husband is younger than me."
"There is no such thing as best actress," she adding, referencing her fellow nominees: "I've been honoured to be among you every step of the way."
"I'm thrilled we could shine a light on Alzheimer's disease. Film makes us feel seen and not alone. People with Alzheimer's deserve to be seen so we can find a cure."
This is Moore's first win, after being nominated four times in the past for Boogie Nights,The End of the Affair, Far from Heaven and The Hours.

It's as if Emcee Emel Exai (Norn - Reaper) is going "oh damn girl, that's one fine dress!"
(seriously though, I'm trying to find this outfit for my ladies. Any hints?)
It's not Daydreamer's Finery. I have that one and it's not this.
So I've learned it's not an outfit, but appears to be the Flamekissed Light Armor skin. A gem store exclusive. And it rarely makes rotation. ARGH.
I unfortunately was caught sleeping on the job. Yes, I have finally pushed a longplay series on Youtube and since I don't want to do 7 posts I will do one post of 7 videos. This is for "Alwa's Awakening", released by Elden Pixels for PC/Mac/Linux on STEAM at Feb 2. 2017; if you need some help deciding if this is right for you, I encourage you to check out other recordings as well, INCLUDING THIS LONGPLAY by yours truly. <3 (Playlist)
For anyone who just doesn't want to sift through my metagarbage on my personal Twitter, I have made a Twitter handle that deals with ONLY content uploads, stream announcements and other assorted events.
I will be cross-RTing these on the main twitter, but following this one guarantees no garbage.
#GuildWars2 screen for 26 Jan 2017: 10 minutes prior to server reset and ready to beat the crap out of the "something in the water".
My norn warrior with the green hair standing on top of a …
No, I'm not dead. I've just been busy cooking up some behind-the-scenes stuff and handling Real Life and its 13 hours a day BS.. but I'm alive.
I have a long rant and since it's GW2 related and longer than 140 characters it is going here. NSFW warning: verbage.
TL;DR: There is no TL;DR. Read everything.
I run around with the Easy Access Quartet of world bosses almost every day, helping people out when I can. However, there is one stop during this Easy Access Quartet where someone throws a blockade of fuckery at us.
It's not Great Jungle Wurm. It's not Shadow Behemoth. It's not the Svanir chief.
It's Fire Elemental. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.*
What happens? During either one of the last two events in the Fire Elemental chain (Kill the Fire Elemental, Guard C.L.E.A.N. 5000 during main spill cleanup), someone sneaks in and activates the panel that shields the reactor which accesses the Champion Steam Ogre.
Why is this bad? Because the status quo is someone charging up the Fire element on the Matrix Cube Key after killing the FE by accessing the destroyed golem. By the time we get to the _now reactivated shielded reactor_, because of the prior breach, the console override protection is up, and we can't use the key to usher in the 30+ who JUST FINISHED FE AND WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE STEAM OGRE FIGHT.
There's a term for this. It's called "griefing". And apparently ArenaNet doesn't care.
If you've been a victim of this, I encourage you to bitch (POLITELY) at ArenaNet about this. Maybe if they get more reports they might look at changing the credentials necessary to keep this whole thing streamlined.
Sorry if I'm being arrogant but I needed to vent.
GRIEFING (grEEf-ing) N. To abuse a game's mechanics to prevent an individual(s) from normally progressing -- usually in a malicious manner.
"This swamp would be ideal for tranquility, except for a very nasty neighbor that needs shutting up every two hours."
While I'm currently mitigating a SHTF moment regarding a fantastically-failed series push related to capture software, my Youtube channel is still semi-active with frequent playlist adds, including a growing stash of found older electronic musics.
That being said, I hope to be back on track sometime after our very important day here in the US. Stay safe, everyone.
so an Inna variant became top vote on Diablofans.. it involves 2p Raiment, Shenlong's and 5p Inna w/ cubed RoRG. Aptly called, "Inna Gen Monk". The only thing I'm worried about with the setup though, is that Unity pair w/ Inv follower and Spirit Guards are practically mandatory.
Author does make a note, however: if you can't do Fists of Fury, use the Crippling Wave "Mangle" rune instead, for a steady reliable damager.
I've noticed the build used Endless Walk. I'm not sure if you're depending on Dashing Strike and Epiphany to keep moving from target to target, or you're using the DR component and staying mobile. I could see EW being viable as you're practically required to use a Unity pair, however...
It's with regret to inform all of you that since my Youtube has become so stale as of late, and I haven't any time to actually create content, that I'm shuttering my Youtube account. If I decide to try this again, I will form a completely new channel. But as it stands, my current channel is now DEAD. This is not the only reason, however...
Youtube is also planning to livestream a hatemonger that's attempting to run for our country's President. I'm sure all my US buddies know him. Since this runs in direct conflict with my beliefs, it became a compelling factor to make the move. But the majority reason for me closing the account in the first place is because I just can't contribute enough of my own content, with the time frame that I've been put under.
I'll still stream the occasional Hitbox, but if I do want to make snippets during my downtime, I'm looking to the possibility of using Forge.gg for just that.
To all the people who've been eyeing my channel, I'm truly sorry, but life happened.
'Asura' had a reason to be showing off them Chaos gloves. *ducks* (xpost from Twitter)
Salve Polling Rate doing the Golem -- er, i mean Robot.
It's all fun and games until the #Diablo3 patch signalling the impending of a New Season gets released.
Here's the big turns from the previous patch. Do note that some leg gems got reworked, especially the hotly-contested previous configuration of Taeguk finally making its purpose clear. That will be discussed below.
Read ALL the patch notes here: us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/…
+ SKILLS: It appears Blizzard is doing more of a job in removing the ability to spawn health globes with skills. Hammer of Ancients - Birthright; Laws Of Hope - Hopeful Cry; and Grasp of the Dead - Death Is Life runes no longer have chance to spawn globes.

- Taeguk gem now only increases stacks if you're using a channeling skill (Whirlwind, Strafe, Rapid Fire, Firebats, etc.). Stack is hard-limited at 10. Damage increases 2% per stack, with an increase of 0.04% per rank (3% per stack at 25). At 25, also increases armor by 2% per stack.
- Teardrop gem had its base damage and damage-per-rank increased, Rank 25 duration between procs reduced from 5 to 3 seconds; and every time a smite occurs, gain 3% max life.

- Toxin gem's rank 25 also causes affected to do 10% less damage as well as take 10% increased damage.
- Enforcer gem's rank 25 pet damage reduction is now 90%, to encourage more pet builds (Zunimassa's is up for Haedrig's Gift -- coinidence?)
- Oculus Ring will trigger by your kills if your follower's wearing it.
- Sanguinary Vambraces benefit from all sources of bonus damage -- the new must-have for Invoker's?
- Frostburn/Magefist's skill damage boost is now a Leg power; Frostburn's chance for cold skills to freeze is now fixed at 50% and is still part of the Leg power package.

- Johanna's Argument (Crusader) comes with +100% to Blessed Hammer now
- Lord Greenstone's Fan (Demon Hunter) got a per-stack boost.

- Nilfur's Boast (Wizard) had its initial Meteor damage and damage hitting 3 or less increased
- Twisted Sword (Wizard) is now locked at 8 Energy Twisters' worth of benefit max
- Swamp Land Waders (Witch Doctor) no longer strictly increases poison damage, but can roll with Physical, Fire and Cold damage along with Poison damage;
- Swamp Land Waders (Witch Doctor) now has a leg power benefitting Sacrifice damage increase to enemies affected by Locust Swarm or Grasp of the Dead
- Demon Hunter's 6p sets are getting general damage increases specific to the set
- Barbarian's Wastes 4p now causes you to take 50% less damage and your applied Rends to do triple its damage while you are using Whirlwind; other sets' 6p damage boosts are ramped up
- Crusader's Invoker set 2p can hold a max of 25 stacks now, damage per stack is up to 35%, but the 6p damage bonus was ramped up
- Crusader's Roland set 4p had a damage bonus ramp-up; 6p duration is up to 8 from 5
- Monk's Inna set got no love this patch

To gain the full benefit of the Patch Notes, explore the link above.
I like a vast majority of the changes honestly
Might need to play the game again at some point :P
I'm actually impressed about the majority of the changes; the QOL Set Dungeon improvements were actually quite welcoming.
Morning Caffeine 26 Apr 2016 a.k.a. "Hungry for Vanilla": File under #WoW.
In light of the WoW vanilla server "Nostalrius" controversy, in which the vanilla server was shuttered by lawsuit from Blizzard Entertainment, I will shed some light on why -- in most cases -- vanilla servers might actually be a good idea.
Before I hop to it, let me inform you of my definition of "vanilla" in terms of gaming: untouched by modifications, extra additions by the company, or purchaseable goods (microtransactions or "micros").
First off, let me make a case example -- my old favorite, Team Fortress 2. It was good, until Valve decided to make it bloated with Steam-specific promotionals, hats, and items that gave an advantage over standard players. MIND YOU, there are ways to obtain these things without ponying up, but the fact you actually have to go through the hells to obtain them in the first place shoved me off the entire ideal.
However, I wouldn't mind playing on "vanilla" servers should they become more prominent -- that is, using the original weapon sets for the classes and no criticals.
"But int, there ARE vanilla servers out there" .. I haven't seen a decent-pop vanilla yet that is in good ping range my dear, and one that isn't popped by bots. And even if it's one, THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.
Let's take that contrast over to World of Warcraft. "Nostalrius" is a private server, yes. It's not a Blizzard-sanctioned server, yes. It was material to be sued by Blizzard, yes. HOWEVER, Nostalrius is what the fanbase considers to be a "Vanilla" server, using old rules, scalars and events that appealed to a LOT of people.
Was the lawsuit a bad idea? In general conclusion, yes: Blizzard invoked the ire of all those players. Yes, they were more or less playing rent-free, but Blizzard can dig itself out of this mess. Blizzard needs to do more than make an appeasement to the gilded gods. It needs to LISTEN to the players, reach out to the owners in some sort of peace offering that doesn't involve sucking them dry of funds, and perhaps even build on their concept and make "vanilla" servers of their own.
That's all I could see that might allow Blizzard to survive all this. Any deviation is unexcusable.
But what makes the World of Warcraft scenario different to a vanilla appeasement of, let's say, TF2, is that all the servers for WoW are controlled by Blizzard themselves. Any average joe can set up a TF2 server and not have to face being sued. But Blizzard did specifically state that any emulation of realms (including private servers) is against their terms of use.
Nostalrius may be offensive on that end, but Blizzard really needs to pay attention on what made Nostalrius successful, and not what they did wrong -- for the sake of the current playerbase, and the future increases of said playerbase.
Is the operators of Nostalrius in the red for what they did? Yes. Unfortunately, so is Blizzard for how they actually handled the ordeal. Blizzard is on thin ice, and the only way to keep them from breaking that ice, is to listen to the players.
TL:DR; Blizzard is at more fault than the operators of Nostalrius for committing this, and needs to listen to their fanbase.
The view of this Krytan monastery in Shaemoor is as intoxicating as the brew they provide. Beware of centaurs. #GuildWars2

A Dutch auction works in reverse to the way you may have participated in an auction before e.g. eBay or a traditional auction house.
There is no bidding in a Dutch auction, the price will usually start very high, and gradually decrease over time until it reaches a value somebody is willing to pay for it, at which point they make the purchase and it is removed from auction.
What does this mean for the Decentraland Dutch auction?
It means that once again, we are in new territory and testing what is actually possible. There are still some unanswered questions from Decentraland regarding specific details about the auction, such as how high will Decentraland start the LAND prices (*now answered below). However, with the auction only 4 weeks away, it shouldn't be long until more information is released.
30/11/2018 *Pricing Structure Update from Official Decentraland Below:
On the first day of the auction, all remaining 9,300 unowned LAND parcels will be set at a starting price of 200,000 MANA. This price will then drop at a non-linear rate as follows:
- Throughout the first day, the price will drop a total of 100,000 MANA.
- Throughout the second day, the price will drop a total of 50,000 MANA.
- From the third day through the eighth day, the price will drop a total of 5,000 MANA per day.
- From the ninth day through the end of the auction, the price will drop 3,000 MANA per day until a final price of 1,000 MANA is reached.
What are some advantages of going Dutch?
There are a few reasons why Decentraland might have decided to make this decision, such as reducing the threat from trolls who, in the first auction, would sporadically bid on LAND they had no intention of buying, just to, well, be a troll. A Dutch auction prevents this.
Using this method will also help us further understand what the true value of LAND is in specific areas of the Decentraland map.
Also, this type of auction really levels the playing field from a buyers point of view. Anybody who took part in the first auction will have no advantage in terms of strategy and experience.
What are some disadvantages of going Dutch?
It has been argued that this style of auction would mostly benefit whales, who have deeper pockets and can pick off the better located LANDs earlier than others, as they can afford to pay more.
There is also the opinion that this method may not be as effective at attracting new members to the platform, who may have little knowledge of historical LAND prices, therefore wait too long for what they deem to be a "good" price, and end up and missing out altogether.
Whatever the type of auction format, the second Decentraland auction promises to really get the heart pumping. The best result for Decentraland would be to have a whole new group of first-time LAND owners join the community, each with their own ideas, enthusiasm and plans of what they will build on their very first piece of Decentraland. Good luck to everybody taking part!

With Opening Day rapidly approaching, it's probably time I went into the storage locker and blew the dust off those sliding sticks. When I crack the summertime crypt, I'll probably discover one of two things:
•My ski bases are still covered with that thick layer of unscraped ski wax I diligently applied in the spring;
•My ski bases are dry, scratched and furry after getting thrown carelessly into storage after Gaper Day.
For years, my equipment was in the latter category. After a season or two of the occasional hot wax and edge tune, I'd lazily let my gear deteriorate to a point where carving on ice was more like racing Tokyo Drift, and coasting on the cat track back to the chair was an embarrassingly slow affair. There were a few reasons I ran such lacklustre gear in my earlier ski bum years (besides the laziness)—I didn't own the tools or the space needed to do my own tuning, and I couldn't afford regular tunes, even with the token locals' discount. Tuning-shop bills were reserved for when I needed mandatory repairs, like coreshotting my skis for the third time in a month.
After a while, I got so used to the mediocre performance of my skis that I didn't do anything about it (which is also pretty lazy).
I'm a lot better about it these days. I have gear that I still want to be skiing on in another few years, so I make the time and effort to preserve the base integrity of my skis. I've realized again that skiing on sharp edges and slippery bases is way more fun, heeding advice from a ski patroller that analogized skiing on untuned gear as driving a race car with no air in the tires. I still don't have access to a proper tuning bench in my rental building, but I make do by working on simple tasks like hot waxing and de-burring my edges down in the parkade. If my skis have a particularly rough day, I pay the professionals to get them back into tip-top shape.
Waxing may be labourious, but the effort pays off when you hit the mountain, powder day or otherwise. But what if I told you that there was a base treatment that meant you wouldn't ever have to wax again for the life of the ski?
Earlier this year, Utah-based ski company DPS announced Phantom Permanent Base Glide Treatment (claiming just that) and flipping the table on almost 150 years of ski tech tradition. Phantom is not a wax, but a liquid polymer coating that, when cured under UV light, penetrates and bonds to the ski-base material. You then have a permanent surface that will not require wax to slide and since the treatment penetrates all the way through the base, the sliding performance remains after multiple base grinds.
As far as sliding performance compared to traditional wax, DPS admits that Phantom is not faster than the expensive high fluoro or low fluoro waxes used in ski racing. However, it does claim that Phantom outperforms the everyday, all-temperature hydrocarbon wax that most of us use. The kicker is that Phantom doesn't wear off in a few runs or a couple of days. This is beneficial for the environment since Phantom-treated skis aren't continuously shedding traces of toxic material into our waterways. To be fair, we'd need most of the skis on the mountain to have this treatment in order to have a tangible positive effect.
The chemists at DPS also designed Phantom with backcountry touring in mind. One of the hazards of regular ski waxing on touring skis is that improper scraping can lead to wax contaminating the skin glue (I'll always try to get a couple of runs on waxed skis before attaching skins if possible).
Phantom is not cheap, the DIY application kit setting you back about $120 in Canada. The application is not difficult and can be done in the kitchen, but the curing requires a few hours of exposure to UV light (i.e. in direct sunlight with no cloud cover) at a temperature above freezing in order to properly bond. This particular set of circumstances can be hard to come by in the Pacific Northwest. Escape Route is the only dealer of Phantom with a dedicated cure station that bakes in the treatment under UV lights in about half an hour. It's an extra $40 on top of the most expensive base treatment of your life, but if you care that much about your ski bases, you'll want Phantom to work properly the first time.
I haven't yet thrown down the cash for this miracle base treatment that some sceptics are calling snake oil. But I don't really enjoy waxing, I want to be sliding optimally all the time and I'd rather my skis not secrete harmful chemicals into the watersheds. So I think this new technology may be worth a shot.
Vince Shuley remains cautiously optimistic about never having to wax his skis again. He still enjoys attending the legendary parties. For questions, comments or suggestions for The Outsider email email@example.com or Instagram @whis_vince.

One of the most important things that you can do to protect your health is to visit the dentist. Your oral health is essential to your confidence and overall health and well-being. When you take care of your teeth at home and maintain regular dental visits, you've done everything possible to protect your smile and oral health.
But, exactly when should you visit the dentist? If it's been more than six months since you visited a dentist, it's time to make the call. The American Academy of Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist twice per year for an exam and cleaning. These visits can detect early gum disease, cavities, and other threats to the teeth before they become damaging. Aim to visit the dentist every six months, unless there is a problem.
When you have tooth sensitivity and pain that nothing seems to stop, it's time to find a Dentist near me Indianapolis and make an appointment. Something is causing this sudden pain and discomfort, oftentimes a cavity. The sooner you make that appointment with the dentist, the fewer problems you'll endure.
Visit the dentist if you wear dentures or bridges and they're not properly fitting. Your dental appliances may need to be relined or adjusted due to changes and shifts within your jaw structure and face. When this happens, appliances oftentimes fit improperly but the dentist can resolve the problem fairly quickly.
Schedule that appointment if your teeth bleed when brushing or flossing. It's not normal for your gums/teeth to bleed and oftentimes is the first sign of gum disease, also known as gingivitis. Let untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, but quick treatment provides great results.
The dentist is your friend when it's time to care for your oral health. Make sure to visit the dentist when it's time and protect your oral health. You will be glad you protected your smile years ahead in life!

New Dixie Highway Project entering critical stage
Crews on The New Dixie Highway Project will begin installing medians next week between Upper Hunters Trace and Heaton Road. This means the crews are launching a critical part of the project almost a month ahead of schedule.
By installing medians, The New Dixie Highway Project will restrict mid-block left turns – and guide drivers to turn at signalized intersections or designated U-turn points. Installing medians is both the most transformative part of The New Dixie Highway project – but also the most dangerous for workers because they will be working in the middle of the roadway with traffic on both sides.
"In the long run, medians will prevent accidents and safety is our first priority," said John Callihan, project manager of The New Dixie Highway Project. "But in the short-term, this is a dangerous part of the construction process and we ask for extra vigilance from drivers during this phase of the project."
Crews had been expecting to start work on medians in June, but recent favorable weather conditions meant they were able to complete sidewalk and gutter work between Upper Hunters Trace and Heaton Road ahead of schedule. They will begin median work in that same section of roadway as soon as possible, sometime during the week of May 6.
During median installation, the interior lane immediately adjacent to the work will be closed in each direction. Work will be happening in more than one location at a time. As one section is complete, work will move to a new section, meaning that drivers should stay alert as lane closures may change without notice.
The New Dixie Highway Project broke ground in December of 2017 and all the major components will be complete by December of 2019. Some final parts of project – such as landscaping and final surfacing – require warm weather and will be completed in the summer of 2020.
Medians will be "non-mountable" so passenger vehicles cannot drive over them. Widths will vary with available space, with landscaping at key locations. While it may seem counter-intuitive to drivers, restricting mid-block left-turns creates not only a safer corridor, but a more efficient corridor. While some drivers will have to drive slightly further to reach their destination, the improved efficiency and reduction in accident-related congestion will mean a better traffic flow for everyone.
About the New Dixie Highway Project
The New Dixie Highway Project is a $35 million investment to improve safety, mobility and livability along the corridor. The project will concentrate on three major areas of improvement:
- Roadway safety and design improvements, including raised medians and left-hand-only turn lanes along the most congested and dangerous section (Crums Lane to Greenwood Road).
- A new Intelligent Transportation System that will improve and coordinate traffic signal timing along the entire corridor.
- The region's first TARC bus rapid transit route, with eight priority buses and 37 highly visible bus stations and stops that will improve travel times for both transit riders and drivers.

Report: BMW Considering an X2 Convertible
Look out, Range Rover Evoque
Last year, BMW introduced the X2 (shown above), a crossover that's very closely related to the X1 (which, in turn, is closely related to the Mini Countryman), only slightly smaller and sportier looking. Granted, it will soon be available in front-wheel drive form, so we don't expect the X2 to be that much sportier performance-wise, but it will probably appeal to those stylish, youthful buyers that so many automakers are after. One rumor even suggests that a two-door convertible version is in the works that would be aimed at the stylish young people currently interested in the Range Rover Evoque convertible.
According to Spain's Motor.es, BMW is seriously considering launching a convertible X2 but hasn't officially given it the green light. The German automaker reportedly conducted a study recently that found a significant number of buyers would consider a convertible X2. That resulted in a second, more-serious study that is said to still be going on. If the business case can be made at the end of the second study, expect BMW to sign off on the convertible X2.
BMW is also said to be considering a two-door fixed-roof version of the X2, but that's less likely than the convertible to head to production, according to Motor.es. Considering that Land Rover recently canceled the two-door Evoque, and Mini never found much success with the Paceman, that would make sense.
We can't say we love the idea of a convertible X2, but it might not look as awkward as the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. The X2 is already about the same length as a BMW 2 Series and rides low enough to almost be confused with a hatchback. For all we know, the convertible X2 could end up looking like a slightly taller 2 Series.
Of course, until BMW actually confirms that a drop-top version of the X2 is headed to production, we can at least take comfort in the fact that it's only a rumor. For now.

Up first are the remaining men that now complete my VBCW Albertine platoon, the regular British army troops and the militia nco who is wearing the jacket and cap of a serving soldier.
This is the full 35 men I need to make my platoon, and as my army grows some of these units will be moved around into other platoons and I might even muck about with the composition of the command group to reflect the platoon they will become part of. At the moment though, my platoon is made up of one unit of trained rifles and two units of untrained militia, plus their command.
My command group is supposed to look like the best of units mixed into one unit to better unify my force. A regular army officer to command, two militia men, a local doctor as a medic and a cricket umpire to be in charge of signals.
These guys are probably still my favourite unit so far. I just love the look of a unit of cricket players, armed to the teeth and ready to fight for their cause.
My bog standard unit of militia. I given the nco part of a regular army uniform to give him an element of authority with the men. These sort of units will eventually make the bulk of my force, so expect a lot more of them to appear on my desk in the coming months.
The regular soldiers are probably from the Romford barracks and have thrown their lot in with the Lord Protector Prince Albert, and they give my army an element of trained troops to balance against the green, untrained nature of the two militia units.
Thanks for reading.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Dee Caffari look at how the environment at sea has been damaged over the past 50 years in Episode 5 of 80 Seconds with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.
Anyone who spends time at the coast will understand the level of pollution in the sea. Plastic is everywhere and has become a huge issue affecting the aesthetics of the coastal environment, wildlife's habitats and contaminating the food chain.
However, 50 years ago plastic was just becoming a main stream construction material, so the ocean environment was fundamentally different. How has Robin seen this change and what does he think the major cause of plastic pollution in the sea is? What should the world be doing to resolve the current mess we find ourselves in?

In the March 2014 issue of the Sports Car Club of America's (SCCA) member magazine "Sportscar", Rick Beattie included an article about me in his "On Rallying" column. I am a little embarrassed about it and surprised, as well as a little flattered, that someone would think that I am interesting enough to write about.
I have included a scanned copy of the article below.
"On Rallying" Column in March 2014 "Sportscar" Magazine
The bigger story is that the SCCA has decided to eliminate the long-running "On Rallying" column from the "Sportscar" magazine. This will have a very negative impact on rallying, as those of us in the rallying community are losing a very important voice. There are only few rallying voices and the loss of even one is very significant. The SCCA folks say that articles or features stories about rallying will be included in the magazine, but I fear that the frequency of these articles will be low.
