Time Out!: Signs Your Man Wants to Take a Break
It's not you it's me
You're an amazing woman and sometimes we can love you so much that we don't want you wasting your time with our nonsense. It sounds selfless but it's really cowardice. Instead of stepping our game up and being the man you deserve we would rather allow you to walk out of our life.

(The first of a multi-part series providing an inside look at the many moves the Trail Blazers have made this summer)
For the past few seasons, one of the strengths of the Trail Blazers has been their continuity. The team may have frustrated its fans at times by not making many major moves during the off-season but familiarity and continuity combined with player development to produce a playoff berth each season, two No. 3 seeds and a trip to the Western Conference finals.
But this summer, the team has made several key changes, including the addition of shot-blocking center Hassan Whiteside and future Hall of Famer Pau Gasol. And at the same time, two youngsters – Zach Collins and Anfernee Simons – are going to be counted on to provide key support for the team's veteran players. And as far as continuity is concerned, a piece of that has been ensured for at least the next five years with contract extensions signed this summer by Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
And there is not a lot of concern for fitting the new pieces into the team's culture and on-court style of play.
"They were all brought in for a specific purpose and a specific skill set," said Neil Olshey, the team's president of basketball operations. "They will all have a defined role.
"I think when you have trouble acclimating as a player or working somebody into the rotation is when you aren't really sure, which is why we are always reluctant to do deals at the trade deadline, unless they are significant upgrades. Players are better when they're comfortable with their role, they know their expectations and you're not figuring out on the fly."
For more from Olshey, as he details some of the roles and responsibilities of this year's players, see the accompanying video.

|Publication Abstract:
| JLab E08-027, a measurement of g2p and the longitudinal-transverse (LT) spin polarizability, successfully collected data from March to May, 2012. Nucleon spin structure study has been an active research area, which has attracted a very large effort from both experimentalists and theorists. The spin structure study for the last 2 decades has provided us with many exciting and often surprising results. Recently, new precision results in the low-to-intermediate momentum transfer Q2 region from JLab have provided extensive information on the nucleon structure in the confinement region and the transition region between asymptotic free to confinement. In particular, the extensive comparisons of experimental results with Chiral Perturbation Theory (the effective theory of QCD at low energy) calculations show general good agreements, but strong disagreement in the case of the neutron LT spin polarizability. This experiment completed the measurements of gp2 and the LT spin polarizability on the proton in the low-to-intermediate Q2 region.
The experiment used a polarized proton (NH3) target for the first time in Hall A. Scattered electrons were detected by a pair of Hall A high resolution spectrometer (HRS) with a pair of septum magnets. To avoid too much depolarization of the target, beam current was limited to 50-100 nA during the experiment. Since the existing beam current monitors (BCMs), beam position monitors (BPMs) and calibration methods did not work at such a low current range, new BPM and BCM receivers were designed and used for current condition. A pair of super-harps and a tungsten calorimeter were installed to calibrate the BPMs and BCMs. To compensate for the effect of the 2.5/5T transverse magnet field, two chicane dipole magnets were installed. A pair of slow rasters were installed for the first time in Hall A, combining with a pair of fast raster. The standard Hall A DAQ system and the improved high resolution DAQ system were used to record the detector information and the helicity dependent beam information, respectively.
In order to achieve the required accuracy of the beam position and angle and reconstruct them event by event at the target location, the data of the BPMs and harps were carefully analyzed. The final uncertainty of BCM after the calibration using the tungsten calorimeter is below 1%, which is important for the asymmetry extraction. Before the acceptance and the dilution factor are available, the models from fitting to the world data were used instead to extract the unpolarized cross section and the dilution factor. The longitudinal and transverse physics asymmetries were extracted and compared with the model, with the study of the radiative correction. The preliminary g1 and g2 results were then extracted using the measured asymmetry and the model.

How Do I Create Folder In iPhone 8 Home Screen
For those that own an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, a common question asked is "How do I create folders on the iPhone 8 home screen?". When you create folders on your smartphone, this allows you to organize apps and reduce the amount of clutter on the home screen. You can create folders on the iPhone 8 in several different ways to organize different apps on the home screen. Below we'll explain how to create folders for apps.
The first and fastest way to create a new folder in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is to drag the selected app over another app that you want to have in the same folder. Do this same procedure with the apps that you want to be in the same folder as each other. After the two apps are placed on top of each other, a folder name will appear below. Once this folder name appears, you can let go of the app and adjust the name of the folder that you have just created. The following is an alternative method for those who want to know how to create multiple folders on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
How To Create A New folder On The Home Screen:
- Turn on your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus
- Press and hold on any app on the Home screen, or apply force when pressing to activate 3D Touch (iPhone 8, X, and older)
- On iOS 13 and later, a menu will appear with options like Delete App or Share App. Tap Edit Home Screen to start moving your apps around. (Note: On iOS 12 and earlier, pressing and holding on an app will immediately make it movable).
- Move the app you want to place in a folder on top of another app you want in this folder. For example, if you want to make a folder that contains your Photos app and your Camera app, drag the Photos app on top of the Camera app and hold it there for a few seconds.
- The two apps should quickly create a group or folder. Your iPhone will automatically give this folder a name based on which apps you put in it, though you can change the name by tapping on it.
- Once you've named the folder a name that you like, you can move other apps that you want to be part of this folder by tapping outside of it (while your apps are all still wiggling) and dragging more apps into it. It's important to note that you need to have at least two apps in a folder at a time; if you leave just one app in a folder the folder will disappear and the remaining app will appear back on your home screen.
- To reposition your newly created folder, simply tap out of it until you are back at the home screen and drag it around just like you would any other app. It's important to note that while you can move it anywhere you like, you can't put a folder inside another folder.
- When you're finished with creating folders, just press the Home button to leave editing mode. On iPhones without a Home button (iPhone X and later) you can press Done in the top right of the screen or swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
How To Reset The Home Screen On iPhone 8
If you've fiddled around with your Home screen a lot and miss the way it was laid out when you first got it, follow these five steps to reset it back to normal. You will not lose any data by doing this other than folders you have created, which will be deleted (the apps within them will not be deleted, however).
- Open the Settings app
- Scroll down and tap General, then Reset.
- Tap Reset Home Screen Layout
- Confirm that this is what you want to do when the prompt appears at the bottom of the screen.
- Your Home screen will now be reformatted to look the way it did when you first purchased your iPhone.

Ford Mustang Owners Manual: Using snow chains
: Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle components.
: Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed rating as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally, the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer case or power transfer unit failure.
The tires on your vehicle may have all-weather treads to provide traction in rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow tires and chains. Use chains on the tires only in an emergency or if the law requires them.
: The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when using snow tires and chains.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
• Chains may damage aluminum wheels.
• Use only SAE Class S chains with P225/60R17 tires on the rear of the vehicle only.
• Do not use tire chains with any other size tires. Use of SAE Class S chains or other chain types on tires other than a P225/60R17 will damage the vehicle.
• Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
• Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains rub or bang against your vehicle, stop and retighten the chains. If this does not work, remove the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.
• Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use tire chains on dry roads.

I Get Saved By An Angel, Again.
I came to as I was cradled in a comfortable, and soft lap. I opened my eyes, regretting it as the light blinded me, I could feel tears dripping onto my forehead."Anna?" I asked, though I was sure it was her. I opened my eyes again, looking at her, she nodded and cried even harder. I tried to reach up and wipe her tears, but I was again struck with the realization that I no longer had a right arm.
I reached up with my left, she grabbed it and put it to her face. I smiled and stroked her cheek,"Its fine, I'm here." She shook her head and hugged me, I hugged her back as best as I could with my one arm. I sat up with her help and looked at Glenn and Mason, who rushed to make sure I was fine. I waved them off and we sat around for a few minutes, exchanging stories. Soon we had to leave, this time with me in tow; Anna would not let me out of her grasp.
She would glance at me to make sure I was fine and actually there. I smiled the whole way back, I was in so much pain, but the feeling of actually truly being wanted pushed all that away. Once we had reached ground level we called a taxi, and I covered up my injuries. We were in hostile territory, no way was I going to a hospital. He took us as close to the border as he could, and we got out, tipping him generously.
The three of them switched out for the role of helping me walk on my only good leg through about a hundred miles of nothing. Glenn had thought to get water and food before we left, so we wouldn't starve or get dehydrated on the walk. Soon my wounds became infected, I was put on a makeshift stretcher. I tossed and turned as we walked, only really getting sleep when night time came and Anna laid beside me. The only thing I could think in my delirium was of Anna, so like I said, I'm hopeless.
As we traveled over the wasteland we met soldiers, retreating from the border. They paid us no heed, probably too focused on saving them selves from the disaster that was the border. As we crossed over the border I was close to dead, we stumbled into a Forward Operating Base, met by many medics. As they gave me antibiotics they questioned Anna, Mason and Glenn, trying to figure out how long I had a fever. They quickly called in a med evac after checking me up, I was so close to dead they didn't understand how I was still alive.
Anna gave them a sly smile as she put her hand on my face, I was aware of this, for some reason, though I had been in full delirium for almost a week. I reached up and took her hand, pulling it up to my face, she looked over and smiled again. I smiled back and fell back asleep, I didn't notice the VTOL that practically landed like five feet away. We loaded up and we were flown as fast as we could to the nearest emergency hospital. Once there I went into surgery and I was given a shit load of antibiotics to pull me out of the fever.
After the 8 surgeries back to back that took almost 24 hours I was finally put into a room. Anna quietly slipped into bed with me and fell asleep.
I woke up two days later, in the afternoon. I tried to lift my left arm, but it was trapped by Anna's head, I smiled and gently shook her awake. Her head snapped up and she stared at me, wide eyed. She finally smiled as she burst into tears,"Finally! I thought you were never going to wake up!" She said through the tears while she hugged me tightly.
I wrapped my arms around her, but sat up straight as I realized I had a right arm. I shook it in disbelief. I moved it through a set of motions that I had to do before, in the medical clearance exam when I came into the school. It worked perfectly, I slammed it onto the table, seeing if I could feel anything. I hissed as pain shot up it, but I stared at it, the pain was toned down, so that was neat. I pulled the covers up, looking at my knee, I was shocked to find they had completely replaced my knee and lower leg.
I moved it around, it was just like my new arm, I looked at my stomach, the wound was closed and had been covered with a flexible metal. I laid back down, I was totally in shock, Anna put her head on my arm again,"Now that you've checked yourself out, how do you feel, handsome?" I looked into her eyes,"I feel pretty great, now that I'm with you." She smiled and blushed. I hugged her again, just content with her touch, light and sweet.
Then I realized that I needed to take a piss so bad my bladder was hurting. I twisted and sat up, startling Anna, she put a hand on my shoulder,"Don't get up yet, let me help you." I shrugged her off,"I can take a simple piss myself." She laughed,"Fine, try it yourself then." I smiled and stood," See, I ca-" I started saying but then I fell forward, slamming into the floor.
"Ow." I whispered. Anna got out of the bed and came to help me, she helped me up and we walked to the bathroom. She let me down on the toilet and left me alone in the bathroom, and I just let loose. After I was done I sighed in relief and pulled my pants up. I struggled to lift myself up and flush the toilet, Anna came in again and walked me to the bed. We laid down, laughing quietly, I looked at her, my God. I know I keep saying it, but she is the most beautiful thing on earth.
She looked at me too, and after a pause I kissed her, not on her forehead, or cheek, but her lips. It was the first time I had actually kissed a girl, and it was great. She pressed her lips against mine, encouraging me. I pulled back,"So what does this make us, now?" She raised her eyebrow,"What do you mean?" I rolled my eyes,"You know what I mean." She smiled and kissed me again.
Soon, the doctor came in, interrupting us,"Nickolas, surgery is ready for you." He said, as if he had not seen the two of us kissing. I rolled my eyes and Anna smiled,"Ok, bring them in." Anna stepped off to the side with one last kiss and watched the nurses wheel me out. I looked back and smiled at her, reassuring her that I was fine.
I came to again almost an hour after the surgery, again with Anna laying at my side. I raised my arm to shake her awake, but I saw tattoos that covered most of my arm. I paused, staring at the tattoos, they were in a sort of floral pattern with roses, lilies, and peony flowers. It was all in black though, I pulled the sheets down, discovering they were on my stomach too. They were really pretty and I liked them, it was just that I wasn't used to having tattoos that I could see.
Anna woke up from my rustling around and looked at me, she smiled. I kissed her out of impulse and we went down the spiral of kissing again. When I could finally pull myself back I asked her about the tattoos, she shrugged and said that the doctors wouldn't tell her, and that it was something about a neural interface that was necessary to not be brain dead from the trauma. And that it was on the side of my neck and went up to my ear. I looked into a mirror, also finding I had a small white streak in my usually black hair. I looked closer and found that my left eye had become a light grey, which was a shocking difference from my usual brown.
I asked about that, and she said it was from the chemicals they used to patch me up. I shrugged and started kissing her again. All in all, I say that my mission was a bloody success.

Many employers provide a Christmas party for their employees as a 'thank you' for their support and contribution to work during the year. It is a great opportunity for all the team to get together. However, employees should be made aware of what is expected in relation to their conduct and behaviour. Employers have a duty of care to all employees at such events and therefore are required to ensure that inappropriate conduct does not take place.
Employees should be reminded of policies relating to:
Social media – use Snapchat, Facebook or other social media forums with pictures of colleagues on the night out.
Dignity in the workplace – which covers prevention of workplace bullying, harassment and sexual harassment.
Attendance at work – a reminder to anyone who is required to work the following day after the party
Grievance and Discipline – these can be invoked where there is an issue regarding misconduct or where an employee has a grievance.
If alcohol is being served and provided by the employer, it is advisable that free alcoholic drinks should be limited. If would also be prudent to ensure that non alcoholic drinks are also available.
Having noted all the above – enjoy the celebrations!

A few weeks ago we finished our first semester! This year, semester one ended the last week in January, after our exams concluded and the second semester began shortly after, on 1 February.
Having exams after winter vacation was a new and challenging experience for a majority of the people on the programme as it was difficult for us to come back from vacation and prepare for exams. Additionally, we had no idea what to expect regarding exam difficulty. Students who enrolled in the Marketing Issues in International Business elective in the first semester were fortunate to only have two exams which, luckily, were separated with a week of study time in between. Students who were enrolled on Finance as a first semester elective only had 3 days in between each exam. Thankfully, after concluding our exams we all had a few days to relax and mentally prepare for semester two.
After exams ended, we had the opportunity to enjoy our time together. Many of my classmates went to other cities in the UK, some went on trips to other countries and some stayed in Manchester. I spent my five days in Manchester, enjoying the city with friends from the programme.
The second semester timetable offers students more flexibility in electives as International Business and Management students only have one required module during the second semester. Although the International Competitiveness and Innovation unit is not being offered this year, we were lucky to be offered places in twelve other units. Three optional units on the MSc Business Analysis and Strategic Management course include Global Politics and Global Business, The Management of International Organisational Change and Asian Management Systems. Additionally, students from our course were allowed to enroll in Services Marketing, Consumer Behavior, Business to Business Marketing, Corporate Social Responsibility, Retail Marketing, International Marketing or Crisis Communications from the MSc Marketing course. We also had the option of enrolling in Employment Policy and Practices from the Human Resource Management course or Mergers and Acquisitions from the Accounting and Finance course.
I am thankful for all of the available electives and subsequent timetable flexibility this semester for a variety of reasons. First, I thoroughly enjoy my electives this semester because of the content and also because of the professors. Additionally, I am extremely
fortunate to have both Mondays and Fridays off! This is, however, a bit of a misnomer though because Mondays and Fridays will be spent on campus working on group projects or other activities. Regardless, I enjoy having days without lectures or seminars to attend.
After completing our coursework and exams from the first semester, we have a better idea of what is expected of us in semester two. Now we also need to begin writing our dissertation. I plan to write my dissertation on a topic related to corporate social responsibility and I was happy to have the option of enrolling onto the Corporate Social Responsibility unit. I'll keep you updated on the units and dissertation progress as the semester continues!

In the Shadow of the Crescent
By Justin Schuster
ON January 1, 2012 the last of the United States' troops pulled out of Iraq. In October, President Obama noted, "After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over." While this date may mark the end of a long and troublesome chapter in American history, there is no visible relief in the future for Iraq. In a region rife with religious and political turmoil, Iraq is faced with challenges that extend far beyond immediate poverty and insufficient infrastructure. The entrenched religious and ethnic rifts constitute a grave threat to the future stability of the nation.
Iraq is not a cultural melting pot; rather, it is a sharply divided nation steeped in a longstanding history of sectarian violence. Centuries of religious power struggles have threatened to tear the region apart at the seams. Despite the seemingly unbridgeable religious divide, unity in Iraq can still occur with a strong national identity. The question remains: will a unifying national identity ever supersede deep ethnic and religious divisions?
The path to nationalism is obstacle ridden. Firstly, the diverse religious and ethnic landscape defines Iraq's political climate. With a population that is 75% Arab and 20% Kurd (with Assyrians and Iraqi Turkmen comprising the remaining 5%) as well as 65% Shia and 35% Sunni, the ethnic and religious divides are stark and deeply rooted. Since its origin, the region has rarely seen peace. From Cyrus to Alexander the Great, the occupation of ancient world superpowers characterizes the history of the region. The religious conflict and the origin of the Sunni-Shia split, however, can be traced back to the 7th century shortly after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in the year 632. In a dispute surrounding the rightful succession of the Prophet, a conflict with religious, political and social ramifications, which resonates to this day, arose. Centuries of religious power struggles followed during the Islamic Golden Age. This period reached its cultural high water mark, yet low point for Sunni-Shia relations, under the Sunni Abbasid Caliphate, which established Baghdad as its capital in the 8th century.
But once again the occupation of foreign powers swept through the region, ending the Golden Age and accentuating the political and religious power battle. The Mongols in 1257 brought an end to the Abbasid Caliphate. Once more, power struggles ensued as the Safavid dynasty clashed with the Ottoman Empire in modern day Iraq. The Safavids of Iran brought a groundswell of Shia influence to the region in the 16th and 17th centuries. Meanwhile, the Ottoman Empire, for nearly four centuries, ruled the region as a Sunni state. Through the widespread use of religion as a weapon in the geopolitical power struggle, the Sunni-Shia gap was further widened.
Britain, however, in the early 20th century brought the intensity of the religious conflict to an all-time low. In imposing a Hashemite monarchy on Iraq, Britain arbitrarily partitioned the region without consideration for ethnic and territorial divisions. Britain further inflamed the already fragile Sunni-Shia relationship by granting overwhelming power to the Sunni minority. Though decades of coups and political upheaval followed, the misinformed actions of the British paved the way for the rise of Hussein's Baathists and the nadir of religious and ethnic relations in Iraq.
Despite harsh criticism for a lack of cultural awareness, the United States did its utmost to deftly navigate the difficult religious terrain in Iraq. One can assert that the United States failed to estimate fully the task of nation building in an inherently unstable region. So too, one may posit that the United States did not altogether consider the religious divides before conducting the war; but when faced with the challenge of rebuilding a shattered nation, the United States avoided the route of their errant British predecessors. In overseeing the Iraqi constitution's creation, the United States properly managed the centuries-old religious conundrum, crafting a constitution that fused tenets of Islam with palatable elements of democracy. The first article establishes that the Iraqi government is "republican, representative, parliamentary, and democratic." The second article affirms that Islam is the official state religion and "No law may be enacted that contradicts the established provisions of Islam."
Perhaps most importantly, the constitution establishes a pluralistic state. Article three of the constitution states "Iraq is a country of multiple nationalities, religions, and sects." Just in acknowledging the vast religious and ethnic diversity of the country, the constitution takes a great step in mending the religious divide.
Despite the progressive nature of the constitution, its credibility extends only as far as the people are willing to accept it. It is arguable that the drafting of the constitution further cemented the Sunni-Shia rift, with sweeping percentages of Sunni Iraqis opposing the constitution. In the time since the 2005 ratification of the constitution, a series of backroom deals have led to a virtual quota system for legislative representation in an attempt to appease the Sunni power base. As a result, political gridlock has taken the nation hostage. With a weak legislature and executive, a power vacuum has arisen in its place. Accordingly, a strong judicial system is vital to maintain the tenets of the Iraqi constitution. While the constitution contains the key to plurality in government and proportional representation, much more than an article will be needed to ease Sunni-Shia tensions.
The Sunni uproar regarding Article 119 of the constitution exemplifies how factional, religious self-interest presently supersedes the overall national betterment. Article 119 states, "One or more governorates shall have the right to organize into a region based on a request to be voted on in a referendum." Writer Fred Kaplan encapsulates the Sunni discontent when he posits, "Here is the Sunni nightmare in plain black and white: The Kurds are allowed to form a single supra-region in the oil-rich north, the Shiites to form theirs in the oil-rich south, while the Sunnis are left in the oil-dry center." A nation cannot survive where religious geopolitics overtake the overarching national interest.
Religious tension is not the only stressor that plagues Iraq; it is a failed state in other ways. Foreign Policy's failed state index ranks Iraq as 9th in their list of the world's failing states in 2011. This is a vast improvement from its second place finish from just four years ago. In its pursuit of a national identity, Iraq is faced with rebuilding a nation from scratch, and though the United States has invested billions into redevelopment projects, a staggeringly small percentage of this money has yielded visible impact due to widespread corruption and graft. As politicians dip their hands into state coffers, the typical citizen lacks the necessary education and health care. So too do rural Iraqis lack clean water and adequate sewage treatment, illuminating that far more than a religious divide stands in the way of the realization of a national identity.
Afflicted by religious conflict, poverty and corruption, Iraq is stuck in a national quagmire. While poverty and corruption are hardly unique to Iraq, the intensity of the Sunni-Shia rift sets Iraq apart from other failing states. If a national identity is the panacea to religious divides, then Iraqis may look to the example of an unexpected former failing state: Rwanda. Clearly, Rwanda's history of ethnic genocide differs vastly from Iraq's history of religious strife and recent Western occupation. The economies, governments and cultures differ as well; however, the two nations share common pasts of deep-seeded, internal strife and the task of rebuilding broken nations. Rwandan President Paul Kagame is certainly not without his faults, including a long history of political suppression and a mediocre human rights record. Nevertheless, under Kagame's leadership, Rwanda has experienced a remarkable economic and cultural turnaround with policies that should be emulated by Iraq. In rebuilding a nation, Kagame promoted a culture of healing by fostering economic development, and his solution comprised a combination of economy-first policies and strong nationalistic messages. In formally outlawing ethnicity while also advancing the economic rebirth of Rwanda, Kagame has cultivated a united Rwandan identity.
While removing religion from Iraq as Kagame excised ethnicity from Rwanda is unimaginable, economic revitalization, on par with Rwanda's Vision 2020, may be the solution to bringing unity to Iraq. The main aim of the Vision 2020 development policy is "to make Rwanda a middle income country by 2020." In the short term, this policy comprises macroeconomic stability and wealth creation, a transition to a knowledge based economy in the medium term and the strengthening of the middle class and fostering entrepreneurship in the long term. Moreover, Kagame has made environmental policies a priority and has provided free health care and education in the process.
While Rwanda's Vision 2020 cannot be surgically implanted in Iraq, the key is its focus on economic revitalization. In the past ten years, Rwanda has experienced an average economic growth rate of 8%, a 300% rise in exports, and a booming tourism industry. Kagame buffeted this social-psychological recovery through economic development and a feeling of inclusivity. By focusing on a unified, national identity, Kagame allowed his country to move past the ethnic divisions that plagued the country's past. If Iraq is to not only survive but also flourish, then it must not allow religious divisions block the way to basic human dignity for all.
Iraq's economic revitalization is intertwined with its national identity – religious tolerance and cooperation will flow from economic growth. When the roads are rebuilt, a national identity will follow. While the Iraqi constitution rhetorically outlines a brighter pluralistic future for the country, real change cannot occur through political gestures alone. Emphasizing unity and plurality through language is essential, but a culture of healing must be substantiated by an economic renaissance.

Acerca de Linda Tillery and Choir
In a rare children's performance, Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir introduce little ones to the roots of African-American music in a way that'll have them singing the na-na-na-na-na's in an upbeat, motown version of Land of 1000 Dances, clapping out a fun R&B twist on the Hand Jive and dancing to a deep funk version of Shortnin' Bread! African rhythm and funky beats, accented with a healthy dose of Aretha Franklin and a hint of James Brown, set the pace for this high-energy, audience-fuelled show that's a hit with parents and kids alike.

A 44-year-old man who went on a shooting rampage at a Mississippi restaurant and critically injured five people today has been arrested.
Police have charged Scott Tyner with aggravated assault in connection to the violent attack at Mexican eatery Cucos.
Lt. Eric Proulx of the Hattiesburg police said Tyner walked into the restaurant along U.S. Highway 49 and opened fire sometime after 3 p.m.
'There was no confrontation, there was no exchange of words,' Proulx said.
Proulx said the silent gunman ran away but only got a short distance before police arrived and arrested him on five counts of aggravated assault.
Pictures from the scene show shocked people of varying ages, covered in blood and being tended to by ambulance crews and police.
Early reports suggested that one person had died but coroner Butch Benedict said there were no fatalities. Read More

Now, we all know just how fun and rewarding gaming can be, but that doesn't mean that it's always enjoyable. Like everything else, there can be times when gaming can feel a little too straightforward, samey, and, dare we say it, even a little dull. The good news is that there are always ways to put the excitement back into gaming, no matter how much you've been playing it in recent times. Below, we take a look at a few tried and tested methods that'll have you looking forward to playing in no time!
New Consoles
We're all pretty committed to the console that we grew up playing/our friends use/and so on, but if it's not doing it for you anymore, why not look at switching up the console you use? You can rent one if you just want to give it a go. You will, of course, hate it at the beginning, but once you get the hang of the differences, you might just begin to see the lure of such a console. Games can feel pretty different, depending on the console it's being played on!
Playing With Others
Sure, it's possible to play for hours on end by yourself, but eventually, you'll begin to feel a bit bored. Playing your games against other people is one of the most fun aspects of gaming, so don't miss out! You can invite friends around for a night of all playing together, for example. Alternatively, you can play online– though first you'll want to check your local internet service providers to determine which can provide the best speed. If you're going to play against people on the other side of the world, then you need to have a stable and lightning fast internet.
Improve Your Setup
We lose ourselves in the world of gaming when we're playing. But sometimes this is hard to do. Take, for example, when we have a poor gaming setup. We might want to play for a few hours, but the low-quality of our chair and desk combination makes it difficult. You can make your gaming room all the more enjoyable by investing in a high-quality gaming chair, arranging storage so the area isn't cluttered, and adding other important features, such as ambient lighting or a fan. You'll be able to lose yourself in the game when you're feeling comfortable.
Following Others
It's just playing the games that we like; it's the whole world. This can involve reading up on the news, watching reviews, or even watching other people play the games you own. Some people say that gaming is a solitary activity, but this isn't the case — it's actually a vibrant, generally inclusive community. Get involved!
Take a Break
Finally, remember that you can always take a break. If you've been playing a lot, then it's recommended to take a week or two off. You'll build up your interest levels again, so by the time you return to playing games, you'll be raring to go and enjoy the activity.

A man's "holiday of a lifetime" almost ended his life after a parasite travelled into his penis and laid eggs.
British man James Michael was travelling with friends in August 2017 from Zambia to Zimbabwe before stopping at their final destination in Malawi, where the group spent five days canoeing and swimming on the Malawi River.
When the 32-year-old returned to home to Kensington, it wasn't until October when he began to loose feeling in his legs, but put it down to fatigue from cycling, Mr Michael told UK publication The Sun.
When basic tasks like climbing the stairs to his apartment became too exhausting, he checked into Chelsea and Westminster Hospital where he was given antibiotics and discharged.
A week later Mr Michael returned and demanded medical staff examine him again.
"I explained to them that something serious was going on," he told The Sun.
After a series of blood tests and a visit to the neurology department Mr Michael was told his immune system was attacking his spine which was why he was losing the use of his legs, but they had no idea what had caused it.
After a six month course of steroids, doctors from the Hospital for Tropical Diseases eventually discovered a parasitic worm had travelled through Mr Michael's penis and laid its eggs in his body.
He was diagnosed with schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia, which is an infection if left untreated can have severe consequences.
The infection is caused by parasitic worms living in bodies of fresh water in tropical regions commonly found in Africa.
Once the worm enters a body it moves through blood to areas like the liver and bowel to lay eggs, those eggs are usually killed by the immune system.
Mr Michael was prescribed medication called praziquantel that kills the worms, but had extreme side effects.
He spent three months in hospital confined to a wheelchair, experiencing severe painful acne on his back and arms, and diarrhoea.
The 32-year-old was unable to use the bathroom, shower properly or even hug his girlfriend.
"The pain has been like nothing I've ever known," he told The Sun.
The infection is now gone but Mr Michael told The Sun it would take over decade to recover completely.
"I was left basically debilitated. They told me there was a 30 per cent chance I'd make a full recovery – 10 years from now," he said.

Hi All, I thought I'd have a go at creating an object that deals with relative rotary encoders, it doesn't work
I've got rotary encoders on my arturia minilab, for 2 of the relative types the values are greater or lesser than 64, either bipolar from 64, or 1/127, with acceleration it's a bit more involved than that but for the purposes of testing I can use <>64 for those 2 types. I am only getting 0 or 126 on disp i_3, it doesn't count. Am I doing something wrong?
That would only work if your controller updates at around k-rate (3000/sec) , it's probably much slower than that.
You need to basically be doing something like 64 - X
@thetechnobear I decided last night that this really wasn't the best way to handle relative values from rotary encoders.
I had a look at the midi/in/cc i object and created my own versions that deal with the 3 different relative encoder types on my arturia, the 3 types are all accelerated so they deal with 2 ranges of values in each direction for increment/decrement. the left hand value for inc/dec is the un-accelerated value you would expect for each type, so 63/65, 1/127, 15/17.
Now that I can decode relative data types we should be able to control pretty much anything with a rotary encoder, obviously I need to write the objects to cope but I envisage a rotary encoder object where you set a min and a max value, and a resolution for the data type you want to control, attach it to the object you want to control and start twisting
I'm not sure if a cc i style object is the right way to do this but I decided to make them anyway, they're very simple objects and the code can be adapted to suit.
I will post the objects later on once I've finished testing them.
this is what I did with the Push the push uses something called... 2's complement encoding. I suspect this is what (2) is.
yes, there are various different relative encodings, in fact Ableton offers support for 8 different variations
Im rather surprised Arturia are using different encodings, Id have thought for one controller, one encoding is enough (the Push only uses 1)... with relative encoding it doesn't matter if a value is bipolar or unipolar, as you are sending changes.
I tried to find what had been done with encoders in the push code but couldn't find anything immediately apparent, I appear to suck at searching the code and forums.
I believe they use different types of encoding simply because not all software solutions for rotary encoders are created equal, like you've said, ableton has got 8, presonus studio one has got a few (but they're not documented so you have to guess/reverse engineer their solution!!), traktor has got a few as well.
Now I've got the arturia covered, I'm going to look at what I need to do for my behringer and numark midi DJ controllers, tons of buttons, pots, faders and encoders, along with a bunch of midi addressable LEDs, this will give me enough controls for pretty much any synth/module/effect.
@thetechnobear I'm getting a nagging feeling that creating objects to do this isn't the right way, it seems to me that it would be better to do it universally via the CC assignment in the gui?
I don't know java at all, but I think this function GenerateMidiCCCodeSub Is one of the functions I'd need to look at editing?
I also need to add a way for the user to choose the type of incoming CC data, Absolute, or XX relative types.
I think a custom object is the right way. Doing it in GUI code complicates future efforts to implement live-midi-mapping.
It shouldn't be anymore complicated than a switch/case and appropriate controls/logic but even that's beyond me at the moment as I'm not familiar enough with axoloti to attempt this
I would still like to attempt this for myself at some point in the future, I hear what you're saying @johannes so anything I attempt would be purely for my own satisfaction and not to challenge you
There are a few ways to do this kind of midi mapping....
the obvious ones are the UI mapping, and the midi/in/cc objects. the later you could create a custom variant off for relative encodes.. the former would as you noted, need an Axoloti UI release.
BUT there is another way worth considering, and that is using mod sources.. (and again you could create a variant). the nice thing about these is, they are kind of 'detached' a little from the patch.
I was thinking the other day, of perhaps creating a small mod source patch bay i could throw into each of my patches, they was on predefined CCs , so then in the patch all I do is then assign relevant controls to the mod source.
@johannes, we might want to add to the object editor a 'provides modulation source' checkbox, so we can have custom ones.... I also see a slight limitation here, in that a user might one to create have an object create multiple mod sources.
The patchbay is an interesting idea @thetechnobear I was thinking along those lines myself, but hadn't really come up with much of a way to implement it other than making a specific object. What are modulation sources? I had a look at the mod source cc object but I'm not sure if I understand exactly what it does?
The ui feels like an intuitive place to be able to assign CC encoders, I'd also like to be able to assign note on and/or off for switches, toggles and radio buttons.
I do appreciate that it will add complexity but then again, adding anything to the mapping system will increase complexity but it will also end up enhancing what I believe is a very very powerful midi system, there is a lot of potential here.
I want to be able to plug in any of my midi gear and know that it will be easy to use, the beauty of the axoloti is that we can write the code for anything that is missing.
btw. I had a look at 2s complement but I couldn't see how to use it for a 7bit value, unless I add 128 to values > 64?
Lastly, I was wondering how the midi system is connected and whether it's possible to just intercept the incoming CC messages before it goes anywhere, manipulate the data and then inject it back into the internal system, that way it would be possible to assign CCs via the ui without actually having to change the ui code?
Without reading this whole thread (sorry) here's a simple recipe for absolute->relative encoding:
input value -> sample/hold the value -> subtract the held value from the next input value -> divide this result by the absolute value of itself. you will get a signed 1 as a result (-1 or 1). cheers!

Rumour Killer: Bethesda Confirms Fallout 76 is Not Going Free-to-Play
Rumour Killer: Bethesda Confirms Fallout 76 is Not Going Free-to-Play
There is no truth to this rumor.
— Bethesda (@bethesda) January 22, 2019
There has been some rumours circulating around about Fallout 76 going free-to-play. This came after reports that physical copies of the games were in short supply in Australia, which was taken note of by a customer who visited EB Games, a game retailer in Australia, and noticed the lack of the game.
It appears that there is no truth to the rumour.
Twitter user @xGTExDopey tweeted to Bethesda saying that they want their money back if Fallout 76 goes free-to-play, as seen at the top of this post. Bethesda simply responded to the tweet by stating that "There is no truth to this rumor."
Hi Andrew,
This information is categorically incorrect. EB Games will continue to support Fallout 76 both brand new and preowned, and it remains an active product through both our stores and website. Customers can now pick up the EB Exclusive Tricentennial Edition for $79.95.
— EB Games Australia (@EBGamesAus) January 22, 2019
Even EB Games has stepped in to respond to people asking about the rumour, stating that the information is "categorically incorrect" and that the game remains "an active product".
While the assumption that the lack of physical products on the shelves will result in the game becoming free-to-play is a bit far-fetched, it's somewhat understandable given the amount of issues that have plagued the game since launch. To name a few reasons, there was the situation with the nylon bag, issues with the price of items in-game, and inaccessible Nuke codes.
The game continues to receive updates to fix a number of issues but a large number of issues have already voiced out their frustrations with the game, so it may be challenging for the game to thrive.
Fallout 76 is available now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Pokdepinion: Personally, I already gave up on the game and I'm not surprised if plenty of others have as well. I don't really care for it being free-to-play, just that there are tons of issues to fix.
