Newcomers Night
The evening takes place in two halves. In the first half, we explore one of two Buddhist meditations. After a short tea break, we will introduce another aspect of Buddhism with an opportunity for discussion.
We teach two Buddhist meditation practices: Mindfulness of Breathing, for developing awareness, integration and clarity of mind; and Mettā Bhāvanā ("development of loving kindness"), which brings about a gentle but radical transformation of our emotional world. Each week we alternate between the two practices.
The class will split into two groups, a smaller group for those who are new to meditation and another group for those who attend the class regularly. In the beginners group, we will help you to set up in good posture and give a fully led practice. Once you have been coming a while, the main group will explore different techniques and ways of approaching the practices.
We introduce traditional teachings of the Buddha in a way that is accessible and practical to everyday life in the modern world. Usually the format is a talk, followed by breaking into smaller groups for discussion.
We have a set series of 17 topics that we cycle through, covering Buddhist ethics, meditation theory and Buddhist wisdom. Every night will stand alone so there is no need for any previous knowledge for any evening and you can start coming at any point in the cycle.

Hey, I'd like to start a journal club here.
We choose a paper weekly and look at it together.
It does not have to be a crazy effort, we just pick one paper every week, approach it systematically, share thoughts and critique it as a group.
I know we are here from different levels, so this is meant to get those who are just starting out (like myself) to look at more papers and have a good discussion. Of course, suggestions for papers are welcome (and appreciated) from everyone.
Suggest a paper by commenting below. 3 suggestions minimum to get us started. The new paper/discussion starts Thursday, weekly. JMPs or published work, either should be fine. To join, vote: good or comment... or just hop in the discussion when a paper is picked.
I'll check later, like 11:30 pm CST, and will take it from there.

PHILADELPHIA - One of the highlights of Monday morning's Temple football practice session was the "Oklahoma Drill," where the hard hitting physical style of head coach Matt Rhule's first training camp was evident.
Former Owl great Paul Palmer, the former runner-up in the Hesiman Race back in 1986 was in attendance for this mornings practice. Palmer recently was hired to be Temple Radio Network color analyst.
Also in attendance at Monday's practice was Anthony Becht, a 2000 first-round draft pick of the New York Jets via West Virginia University. Becht is a Philadelphia native who attended Monsignor Bonner High School. He currently serves as an analyst for ESPN covering the American Athletic Conference.

In Washington, the idea of universal healthcare seems to many like a far-off dream, but the reality is that 60 percent of Americans agree it's the government's responsibility to make sure every citizen has health care coverage. With 31 percent who support a "single-payer" system in which the government is the sole health insurer of the American public, essentially ending the health insurance industry, according to a 2018 poll by the Pew Research Center.
The "single payer" system is most like the policies of Democratic Nominee Candidates, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Other notable candidates like Cory Booker, Kristen Gillibrand and Kamala Harris have said they support Medicare for all.
Kamala Harris' communication team clarified after she announced she supported Medicare for all at a January CNN Town Hall, they're open to many options, according to PBS News.
So far though, Sanders is the candidate with the clearest plan to change American health care. Currently in the U.S. House of Representatives a piece of legislation called the Medicare for All Act of 2019is being proposed by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) which closely follows the plan Sanders has laid out.
Unfortunately, the bill has little chance of passing through the sitting congress even though Rep. Jayapal introduced the bill with 107 co-sponsors, as Democrats only have majority in the House while the Republicans control the senate. President Trump has said he would veto the bill if it reached his desk, according to Bloomberg News.
Nonetheless it's an important idea that will be continued to be discussed throughout the race, as it could become a reality if a Democrat like Sanders or Warren was to beat Trump in 2020 and Democrats won enough seats to take the majority in the Senate as well.
In the proposed bill and Sander's Medicare for All proposal we would transition in a matter of a few years from private health insurers to a Medicare program that would cover the entirety of health care costs for Americans, like the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom.
Many conservatives believe socialized health care is an unrealistic idea, but we have long had a successful socialized health care program in Medicare. As of right now though it's only available to Americans 65 and older, in both plans they are proposing to make Medicare available to everyone regardless of age.
The arguments against the affordability are unfounded as Medicare is already an income tax. Everyone would pay a little more in their paychecks, but you wouldn't have to pay a monthly premium to your insurance company or pay sometimes thousands of dollars to reach your deductible when you need to use it.
Alternatively, we could fund it through a reallocating money from our military spending budget of $610 billion, more than the next seven highest-spending countries combined according to Business Insider.
Other options being put forward to afford this could come through Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) Green New Deal plan. The current draft calls for the top marginal taxes rates to return to as much as 70 percent like they were before Ronald Reagan's tax cuts for the wealthy in the 80s according to Vox.
Under our current system, the number one cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. is medical expenses according to CNBC. Additionally, healthcare is fundamentally different from any other markets that would reward the companies that can provide a good product or service while keeping prices down, in the case of medical expenses, especially in emergencies, you don't have time to compare prices between hospitals because receiving treatment could be time sensitive.
Our system may seem normal to us, although the reality is currently we are the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't offer some form of universal health care for all its citizens. We pay by far the most, and that amount has been quickly increasing since the 80s, according to The Guardian.
In the proposed system the government would be the sole insurer of the American people. It would also be the sole negotiator with hospitals and pharmaceutical companies giving it the power to dramatically reduce the costs it is paying for surgeries, treatment or medicine if negotiated well.
Some within the Democratic house leadership, like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), aren't looking for such dramatic change. But in a political reality where our president is declaring manufactured "emergencies" government funded health care really isn't that far out there anymore.
Realistically the Democratic party needs to discuss policies that will improve voters lives and this idea of government funded healthcare has bi-partisan support as multiple historically conservative states including Utah and Nebraska passed a ballot initiative to expand state funded Medicaid in 2018.
Health care legislation has largely stayed the same in America because many members in congress are unaware of the reality that many low and middle-income families face regarding medical debts, sometimes due to no fault of their own. The idea that universal health care is an impossibility just shows the limited scope of the American political imagination, that immediately recoils at any thought of change even if it would benefit most people. If people want actual change in the way our healthcare system works now, we need to support candidates like Sanders with a real vision for Medicare for all in the coming 2020 election.

Build 79 is here
Oct 05 2014 10:14 PM | Bioxx in Articles
This is a very long changelog and I'm sure that I've missed a lot.
Please be aware that the wiki is now outdated in many areas and will take some time to reflect all of the new changes.
Full changelog after the jump.
TFC 0.79.0 Changelog
Minecraft 1.7 is known to have very bad lighting calculations which are exacerbated by TFC's 256 height worlds. As a result, minecraft may run very poorly with TFC installed. To fix this and many other issues with minecraft performance it is highly recommended that you use FastCraft by Player . This mod is optional and can be run by both a server or client to correct issues with vanilla code.
- Rewrote barrels into a much more useful and user friendly block. Barrels now contain two tabs, one for liquid storage and one for solid storage. The liquid storage interface is very similar to the old barrel UI from 78 but now provides better information when processing items inside the barrel. Additionally, TFC barrels function as a Liquid container for any forge liquids from other mods (Hooray compatability!). The solid storage tab is only available if there is no liquid in the barrel. Similarly if the player places more than one item in the barrel, the liquid tab is disabled.
- Added Large Ceramic Vessel that acts as a lower tech version of the barrel in all respects. It can only hold 5000mb of liquid which is half the capacity for the normal barrel and only has 9 slots for solid storage instead of 12. As mentioned before, the tech level is lower which means that some recipes like alcohol simply aren't available until you have a barrel.
- Added capacity for wearable objects. At this time we've opted to start slowly with only items that are carryable on your back. If you have an item in your inventory that has been marked as too heavy for normal carrying, you will be unable to move until the item is removed or it is placed on your back. These items will render correctly as though you are carrying it. Examples of carryable objects would be sealed barrels and anvils.
- Added 2 new meal types, Sandwiches and Salads. Removed the old generic Meal and redesigned the food prep interface. Sandwiches have a higher max food weight value than other meal types and the entire thing is eaten in one use instead of increments. Additionally sandwiches give a 25% boost to filling over other food types. Salads on the other hand are your basic meal and are incredibly easy to create.
- All foods now have tastes associated with them. Each player also has a specific preferred taste profile that is determined by the players name and the world seed.
- When players make meals they want to get the taste profile of the meal to match the taste profile of whomever is going to consume the meal as closely as possible because this increases both the satisfaction(which makes food last longer) and the nutritional value of the meal for that player(I'm aware this isn't realistic please don't make threads about it).
- All foods have a base taste profile which is then modified by various factors. In the case of animals, the modified taste is random(I want to expand upon this to make it more controlled in the future). When it comes to crops however, the modified taste value is directly influenced by the environment in which it is grown and can be controlled by the player (Again I want to expand upon this in the future to make it more transparent).
- When making a meal, all of the tastes are added together to determine the taste of the meal. This is pretty straight forward.
- Completely changed the way in which animals are tamed. Gone are the days when a few bones are enough to create a wolf army.
- Instead of being tamed with a bone, wolves will only follow players
- All wolves will sit if tied to a fence post and stand if tied to a player
- All animals now have a familiarity value which needs to be increased
- Familiarity can be increased by performing a particular action at least once a day
- for wolves, this means shift-right clicking to pet them
- for cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs this means feeding them grain
- for bears, this means feeding them fish
- for horses, this means feeding them grain, however after a certain point, the horse will no longer become familiar this way, and instead will only become familiar by riding it for an average of 30 seconds per day
- for deer, this means feeding them salt
- Certain familiarity levels are required to interact with animals in certain ways such as milking cows, shearing sheep, riding horses, breeding animals, and naming animals
- Familiarity will decrease slightly each day if it hasn't reached a certain level and you haven't interacted with the animal
- Familiarity has a set cap after which it can no longer be increased in adult animals. Baby animals can always increase their familiarity, and do so much faster than adults.
- Baby animals retain 50% of their mother's familiarity when born, unless she is close to maximum familiarity, in which case they will retain 90% of it
- Adjusted pregnancy times for animals and the length of time for them to reach adulthood:
- Bear*: gestation time: 7 months. Adult age: 60 months
- Chicken/Pheasant*: Adult age: 4.14 months
- Cow: gestation time: 9 months. Adult age: 36 months
- Deer*: gestation time: 7 months. Adult age: 24 months
- Horse: gestation time: 11.17 months. Adult age: 30 months
- Pig: gestation time: 3.7 months. Adult age: 15 months
- Sheep: gestation time: 5 months. Adult age: 12 months
- Wolf: gestation time: 2.25 months. Adult age: 9 months
[* Animal currently can't be bred]
- Deer, bears, and wolves are now considered wild, and will despawn and respawn.
- Any animal that has been roped at least once won't despawn, in case you want to keep them around
- Added name tag crafting recipe: marking, paper, string
- Right-click a name tag to give it a name
- Fishing has been rewritten to provide a much more rewarding experience.
- Hold right click to charge the fishing rod when casting
- Reel in the bobber by right clicking
- When a fish bites onto the line, try to reel it in without letting the line snap
- Added Prospecting and Butchering Skills.
- Leveling up your prospecting skill will cause less false negatives to occur. It also has a role to play in panning for ores, causing higher tier ores to be available to find. Example: Reaching Adept level unlocks silver to be found from panning.
- Butchery skill is gained when killing any animal. As this increases, more meat will drop from animals that are killed. As a result of this, the amount of meat dropped at low levels is drastically reduced. With no skill in butchery, only 1% of current amounts will drop as usable meat to simulate the players lack of knowledge about general animal anatomy.
- Agriculture skill level now affects the ability to view nutrient levels of crops. You must be an Expert to get this information.
- Added weather and time based fog effects where fog will close in during inclement weather or early in the mornings.
- Overhauled Jungles so that they are no longer barren and just plain terrible. Ground shrubs and vines once again inhabit these regions.
- Condensed support beams into a single item and totally rewrote how they are placed in the world. Horizontal beams can only be placed between two vertical beams and can not be placed individually anymore. If any horizontal block breaks, the entire beam will break causing the ceiling to lose support. The changes to rock were made to encourage the use of these blocks more.
- Reduced the hardness of all raw stone blocks to allow for easier mining. Increased the rate at which raw stone collapses to make tunneling far more dangerous. Raw stone also reacts to stone being broken in a larger area to prevent certain ways to get around this mechanic. Smooth Stone and Stone Bricks have had their hardness increased greatly to make them a more defensive material.
- Reduced the hardness of player placed logs to make using logs a more attractive option in building.
- Updated sluice rendering. The sluice was the very first minecraft block that I ever created and its age showed. The block has received a visual overhaul even though its basic mechanics have not changed at all. In a future hotfix/build I will update it once again to show the type of wood from which it was made.
- Torches now burn out after roughly 48 in game hours. They can easily be relit by right clicking them with a torch in your inventory. Additionally you can create new torches by right clicking on a placed torch with a stick. This is not as efficient as creating them in a firepit but is useful when on the move.
- Rewrote how charcoal pits are created. They've finally reached my original vision. Firepits are no longer needed for the creation of charcoal(this was always weird right?). Instead after creating your pile of log piles and covering it over, you drop a torch on top of any logpile. After a few seconds, the torch will disappear and that logpile will mark itself for charcoal creation. It will then propagate this to all log piles that it touches. At this point it should be fully covered over lest the whole thing burn up.
- Rewrote and reenabled armor stands.
- Added loom for cloth creation.
- Place string on the loom with right click. (16 wool yarn or 24 spider string)
- hold shift-right click once full to begin to weave the threads together
- once the loom stops operating, right click to remove your cloth
- silk and wool can be used interchangeably to make carpets, beds and paintings
- Baby zombies have been disabled. Zombie reinforcements are now correctly TFC variants instead of vanilla.
- Thatch blocks are no longer a solid block. They've been redesigned to more correctly match their intended purpose as an early game roofing material. We feel that with the changes to the chopping speed of placed logs, this will have a positive effect on the way players interact with the world. As it was, thatch was an incredibly cheap magic block much the same way that peat used to be.
- Skills now properly sync to the player upon respawning.
- Added Smoke racks for smoking and drying foods. The food must first be brined in... you guessed it Brine. This is a combination of 10% Vinegar and 90% Saltwater. After a food has been brined it can be stored in a container full of vinegar to pickle the food and drastically increase its shelf life.
- Added shears recipe to the anvil. This is created with two wrought iron knife blades.
- Added wrought iron grill for cooking up to 6 food items at once.
- Very heavy modifications to worldgen.
- Overall, oceans should be smaller than in 78.
- Added Lake biomes full of fresh water.
- Added gravel beaches straddle rocky/hilly areas and oceans
- All beaches are now relatively flat and only 1-3 blocks above sea level. They are also feature stone cliffs between them and their neighboring land biome which simulates tidal erosion. I think this is an incredibly beautiful feature. i hope you guys like it as much as I do -B
- Crops now properly check for sky access as they grow. Sorry guys, no more underground farms.
- Berry bushes can now only be placed on grass. They can now be left clicked to harvest them when in season. Enabled Cranberries.
- Added metal trapdoors which are made by combining any metal sheet with any metal ingot. The sheet will determine the color of the door, and the ingot will determine the color of the hinges. these trap doors can be placed facing any side of a block.
State of the Mod 9/8/2014
Sep 08 2014 07:59 AM | Bioxx in Articles
This is going to be another long one. See what's new after the jump.
So I missed my unannounced self imposed deadline of early August kinda badly. Sometimes you know exactly what you want the finished feature to look like but when it comes down to implementing it you begin to realize that you didn't think of everything initially and it will be a lot harder than you thought. Such is the case far more often than we'd like but there's not much you can do about that besides try and power through it which doesn't always work out well. Regardless, we're committed to getting 79 out ASAP.
Dunk has been busy rewriting a lot of his old code so that I will stopping having to crack the whip at him about #dunkcode . As a result we have some simpler, prettier, and faster code for various dunk blocks . He's currently working on re implementing the armor stand in a way that it should cause far less problems than before.
I'm currently jumping around a lot from feature to feature tweaking things to various degrees. All the while I'm still working on all things taste, meals, and cooking. Most recently I've rewritten how food is cooked all together into a system that more closely resembles actual cooking (I'm spending way more time on cooking stuff than I ever imagined). As a result all foods now can be cooked to varying degrees. Keeping steak on the fire will start to make it char and turn black which affects the taste as it cooks more and more (But maybe you like your steak burnt to a crisp, yucky). As announced on Twitter, the type of fuel that you're cooking with will also affect the taste of food as well. Even pickling and salting have an effect. Right now my biggest issue going forward is balancing all of the taste numbers and making sure that it all works right.
On that note, recently added is the ability to pickle fruits, vegetables, and meat to extend their shelf life. The bonus from this is similar to salt, providing a 0.5 multiplier to base decay rate. This is multiplicative with salt so Pickled Salted Venison would last 50% longer than Salted Venison does in 78. Along with the pickling comes the ability to store pickled foods in a container full of vinegar to prolong shelf life and drastically reduce environmental(temperature/humidity) related decay.
That leads me to Large Vessels and Barrels. Since I first implemented Pottery many builds ago, I've always intended to add a large version of the Vessel that would operate similarly to Barrels as a storage medium that you didn't generally carry with you. Until now, I wasn't really sure how I wanted to do it. However thanks to my rewrite of the very messy barrels everything became orders of magnitude easier to accomplish. On that note, something that I thought I'd mentioned in a previous SotM but apparently failed to do is that Barrels now operate as either a solid storage medium OR liquid storage. By utilizing the Forge Liquid Dictionary our barrels can hold 10000mB and 5000mB in Large Vessels. Alternatively barrels and large vessels can hold up to 12 or 9 itemstacks respectively.
Because we don't want these to become simple inventory expanders like how small vessels are used we have started to create a system for equippable objects. There is currently no UI as the system will not be completed in 79 and will instead be expanded upon as needed. For now the only slot is for the players back and we'll continue to use the slot as seen in 78. As a result, blocks which we deem to be superheavy will require being equipped on the players back in order to move. Holding any of these items in your inventory will cause a message to appear warning that you are overburdened and you will be unable to move while it remains. With that said, I want to make sure that these mechanics remain easy to use and not more of a burden than necessary for gameplay purposes, so Empty barrels and vessels will not be considered equippable and will not overburden the player. Did I mention that these objects will render on the player's back?
Lest I forget, there is a very simple yet controversial change coming as well. If you don't follow me on twitter then brace yourself. Torches will now burn out and cannot be recovered after 48 hours in game. Having said this, I have to address the the very first question that everyone with a keyboard will want to ask which is, "Is there a permanent light source coming as well?". The answer is both yes and no. Currently there are no plans for a lantern in 79. There are however plans for one later on.
For far too long torches have been an easy escape from the perils of the dark. After a little while, large sections of the map turn into torch forests, and this to me has always been a major flaw with the core MC design. As a result, I want to see what happens when this escape is lost.
To compensate for the increased need for torches, I've made torch lighting 4x faster. Additionally torches can now be created by right clicking a placed torch with a stick in your hand, although this is not as efficient as making them in a firepit. Keep in mind that this torch change can be toggled in your configs.
Torches now have another very important role to play in your life as well. In B79 charcoal pits are no longer lit from the bottom via firepit but from the top instead by dropping a torch on top of a logpile. After a few seconds, the logpile with catch fire and this will propagate to all other logpiles that are touching. As a result, our charcoal code is extremely simple compared to the past (hooray less bugs!). This finally brings charcoal pits in line with my original vision when I first implemented them in Beta 1.
I'm sure that there is more that I want to put here, but for right now these seem like the most important bits. As you can see 79 is shaping up to be a monster, but hopefully a friendly one. As for a release date, I can certainly say that we are far closer than we were last month. As usual I have a release date in mind which I wont be saying publicly. Here's hoping that we can hit it this time

State of the Mod 8/13/2014
Aug 13 2014 12:34 AM | Bioxx in Articles
So it's been a month since the last state of the mod so I figure its high time for another update. I am going to try and do these each month from now on if I can remember, wish me luck!
In the past month there has been a bit of work done to polish various areas and yet there hasn't been a lot accomplished in others. The basics for the new taste stuff that was mentioned in the previous SotM has been implemented as well as some more Quality of Life stuff for us behind the scenes when it comes to food, but most of the new meal type stuff hasn't even been started.
It mostly comes down to me knowing what I want to do but not being sure how I want to present it. This includes everything from block/item art to gui layouts. As a result, some of the new meals may be delayed out of 79 entirely. It depends on what I can come up with in the near term.
As for 79 in general, it is in a pretty stable state. We've managed to close a lot of 1.7 related bugs that had been nagging at us as well as getting SMP working proper. Right now we are still on 1.7.2 but I expect to move to 1.7.10 before release which should not be a big process in all likelihood.
I know everyone is anxious to get to get their hands on 79, and I'm anxious to get it to you guys so I'll keep trying to push myself to knock out some of these features. Stay with us. We're getting there.

State of the Mod 7/9/2014
Spoiler!-The latest article from Bioxx about the next update.-
Ok, so now that global celebrations for the day of my birth are over with, I've decided its about time for a State of the Mod. This will be a bit lengthy so click the article to get the full story.
My extreme bouts of laziness aside, we've actually gotten a fair amount of work completed. Thanks to Emris_Morath, while we were polishing Build 78 with the many patches, he was maintaining the 79 branch and doing an extremely large chunk of the 1.7 porting process(renaming stuff) for us. As a result, when work was permanently switched to 79 we were mostly done with the port.
As for new content in 79, I can announce that rock-specific gravel has been added finally as well as a layer of gravel throughout most of the world as part of the soil generation. Along with this comes drainage maps which ultimately just determine how much gravel there is in the soil layer vs dirt. This is important because another new map -the soil pH map- is used for crops along with the drainage (which is calculated by scanning beneath the soil for gravel which means that players can affect this). The two of these combine with other things to create a much more sophisticated crop management mechanic.
Now before I go into this next mechanic, I want to point out that any of this is subject to change as we are still in the experimentation phase with this.
The entire point of the above mechanic is to influence the next mechanic: food taste. Each and every food item will have tastes associated with it based upon the 5 flavors which the human tongue can detect which are Sweetness, Sourness, Saltiness, Bitterness, and Savoriness. Each player will have his or her own unique preferred tastes which are determined by your username and the world seed. This means that creating a meal which contains Steak, Potatoes, Cheese, and Blueberries O.o may be perfect for you but may not be for someone else because the combined flavor profile doesn't closely match their own.
But this is alright, as the worst that would happen for them is that the food wouldn't be as useful for satiating their hunger. On the flip side, the more closely that the flavor profile matches your palate than the more effective the food is at providing filling and nutrition. I see this as a psychological effect and it ranges from 80% effectiveness for bad meals up to a 130% bonus if the flavor profile is exact.
I should also point out that figuring out your own or another person's taste palate will be based off of your skill rank in cooking with each rank providing more exact information. More on Skill Ranks later.
Now we come full circle back to the crop growth mechanic change that I mentioned earlier. The various attributes of the soil such as soil type(granite/rhyolite/etc) of the topsoil that you worked with the hoe as well as the soil beneath that, the soil ph, and the drainage of the farm plot all come together to affect the resulting flavor profile of each crop in different ways. This now means that tomatoes grown in one place wont exactly match the tomatoes grown elsewhere, unless you want them to.
Because of these new features, each tomato plant harvested could potentially provide tomatoes with different flavor profiles and you would expect them to be unable to stack because of the NBTTags that are on each of these items. However what we've decided to do is when you attempt to stack a food it will convert the entire stack to the default flavor profile for the food(which may not be a bad thing) or it will keep the flavor profile as long as the profile is the same for each item entering the stack.
At this point, I've gone far more into these mechanics than I'd originally intended but that's ok since it's been a while since I've done one of these. Some of you may be thinking that this makes food incredibly complicated, and to a degree it does, but choosing to ignore all this new taste stuff is still perfectly acceptable since there is only a maximum of 20% loss in the effectiveness of food due to the new changes. This 20% is less of a penalty to me than it is a re-balancing of food in general.
The last bit that I am going to discuss in relation to food are the new meals that will be coming. More specifically Soups, Stews, Salads, Sandwiches, and Casseroles. I'm not going to be going into specifics for these as that is probably another 5 or 6 paragraphs so I'll just list some quick info:
- Soups allow you to stretch your limited resources by adding a liquid base to a small amount of each ingredient thereby giving you filling but with a lack of major nutritional value.
- Stews take longer to cook and must be done more delicately but use a larger amount of ingredients and less liquid to create a nourishing meal.
- Salads are the easiest and fastest meal to make and will be roughly equivalent to the meals that exist already in TFC. The main problem with them will be that they decay faster than the other meals which makes them poor for traveling etc.
- Sandwiches will require bread slices and a few non-grain fillers. The main bonus of sandwiches will be that they provide bonus filling, can be eaten completely in a single use(they'll probably provide around 9oz of filling before the bonus), and can potentially provide all 5 food groups of nutrition.
- Casseroles will allow for the largest amount of food to be cooked at a time and can use up to 6 ingredients. But they will need to be cooked in an oven and take time to prepare.
Now I get to the promised Skill Ranks. One of the things that I really wanted to do when starting 79 is to polish some of the new UIs as they were put in place rather quickly and without much thought. Those of you who follow me on twitter (and if you don't you should) will have already seen this image pic.twitter.com/uRWj4xKnAG. As you can see, gone are the ugly, vague numbers- now replaced with pretty skill bars and ranks. Ranks include Novice, Adept, Expert, and Master. Some (but not all) skills will be tied directly to the ranks, for example cooking will give you more informative information on the taste profiles of food. Others such as smithing will continue to work as they have, based upon a formula which uses the raw skill numbers. In these cases, the rank is still useful as it gives a pretty good idea of how much your skill is affecting the objects that you create.
Now to wrap up the rest of the new. So far, we have new sound effects for several animals as well as ambient sounds such as frogs, crickets, birds, etc. I completely rewrote the way in which barrels function so that they can be used for solid storage of items as well as compatibility for forge liquids. Kitty did quite a bit of work to add forge ore dictionary back to TFC after its incredibly long hiatus. She also added in a much requested file with extensive options for adjusting numbers in TFC that never before existed (I'm sure that server owners will be thrilled).
I'm sure that I've missed a few things and there is without a doubt more to come before all is said and done, but I wanted to reach out and let you guys know that we're still working and making progress, especially to our recent wave of new fans who may not be used to our development pace. Be sure to let us know what you think and follow us on Twitter for the occasional sneak peak! @TFC_Bioxx and @TFC_Dunk

Cavitation is performed by means of ultrasonic waves generating device which after referring to wet skin has the effect of cavitation.

Cavitation peeling is characterized by a painless and safe course, which is undoubtedly a real advantage.
The main effect of cavitation peeling is refreshed and purified skin.
In addition to the effect of freshness, the skin becomes improve circulation, as a result of oxygenating, moisturizing and rejuvenating the skin micro-massage-induced vibration of ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasonic peeling also prepares the skin for other cosmetic procedures, by enabling more effective absorption of cosmetic preparations.
This treatment is designed primarily for very sensitive, delicate and thin skin, prone to irritation and having dilated capillaries. It is also used as a non-invasive skin cleansing treatment for acne-prone oily. Can be performed on the face, hands and back. Not recommended for surgery to places where there is light bleeding or psoriasis.

The Manchester Nightlife - Fab Café
Manchester's nightlife is something incredible. It has to be the only place where regardless of what background you come from, you can always have fun and enjoy yourself. Just one of the other many effects of the Manchester nightlife.
My first visit to Fab Café was incredibly blurry if you catch my meaning. After a long night of food and drinking, myself and a few others decided the night was still young and proceeded to visit the bar. As I entered and noticed the incredible memorabilia scattered around, that is when I knew it was going to be a great end to the night.
The atmosphere of the crowd seemed incredibly friendly, chatting, smiling and singing along to the non-stop hits. Even when I embarrassingly sat on a table I though was secure, nearly spilling a poor woman's drink (don't worry I offered her another one). She and her friends just laughed it off, joking about the same drunken state they were in.
To me it is clear why Fab Café is known as a one-off around Manchester. One review I spotted seemed to hit the nail on the head "It's like drinking in your big brother's bedroom". Admittedly the décor comes off as quite geeky, which is great for someone like me as I personally love all that sort of stuff, my rooms full of it. From movies such as Star Wars to TV memorabilia from Doctor Who this place seems to have it all. They even have arcade machines such as the infamous 'Point Blank' (such a classic by the way), although they seemed to be off when I visited.
From my personal encounters the choice of music seems to be primarily classic rock which is awesome. I did hear the occasional pop groups such as S-Club 7, so it may vary from night to night.
Fab Café has a reasonable size bar to accommodate for the room size, and staff are incredibly polite even engaging in conversation. As me and Barry (I don't know his actual name) shared some banter about my previous encounter with the dreaded table.
Drinks are cheap enough and won't burn too much of a hole into your pocket. G&T's and tequila are their big sellers, with their vodka of choice being red square. You can load up on your vodka and cokes, while of course they have the standard beers and wines.
If you're looking for something different from the mainstream then this place has you more than covered, from cosplay events to bar quizzes Fab Café has it all. You can find Fab Café at Gainsborough House, Portland St, Manchester M1 6DN. Or if you are looking for more information you can visit their website.

- Entry Fee – Open Door Policy (Free Entry)
- Parking – Street and Valet Parking

In Her Own Words: Amanda Spratt Previews Omloop van het HagelandFri 7 Mar 2014
In the first two races of the European season, ORICA-AIS has already started to flex its muscles. With a win and a podium in the first two Belgian races, the Australian based squad is looking to increase its win tally when it lines up for Omloop van het Hageland this Sunday.
Ahead of the race, Amanda Spratt tells us, in her own words, about the course, the team's ambitions, how to measure success and the current state of the women's peloton.
The course is pretty similar to last year. First we encounter a larger 59 kilometre loop and then five laps of 13 kilometres. The opening lap includes the first of four intermediate sprints and the first GPM of five. The cobbled climb is about 700 metres long and could potentially cause a small split in the group.
The finishing circuit includes a tough climb that doesn't look too hard on paper but takes its toll on the legs after five ascents. The critical thing about the climb is that after the crest we turn onto a narrow farm road. If it's a bit windy, it can put a lot of pressure on the bunch and cause big splits.
Emma [Johansson] has won this race twice before. In fact, she's the only rider to have won it more than once. Her history with this race plus her win at Le Samyn on Wednesday leaves us with no other goal than the top step.
We always want to race aggressively and be a part of the race. When we race together as a team, like we did at Le Samyn, we come out on top. Things didn't come together in the same way as we would have liked at Het Nieuwsblad. At Le Samyn, we were more on the front foot and we gelled better as a team. We want to continue down that path.
I think we will be a strong team at Hageland. Gracie [Elvin] arrived in Europe right before Het Nieuwsblad, and she's had the week to recover from her jet lag. Shara [Gillow] has been here a week and should be good to go. Neither raced on Wednesday, so they should both have fresher legs than the majority of the bunch.
At Hageland there will be 31 teams starting. That adds up to a lot of riders. The level will vary within the field as there are club teams mixed with the professional teams. It creates a lot more stress in the bunch coming into critical moments when everyone knows they need to be at the front. That's why we will try to make it as hard as possible. We want to try to reduce the size of the peloton for safety and for a better chance to achieve our goals.
Whoever has the chance to make their move on Sunday will take that chance. We want to force a break by racing aggressively. On this course, that can happen, and as a team we're prepared to support whoever is up the road. Obviously Emma has shown she has great form, which is typical for her at the start of the spring. It's likely that she'll put herself in the race winning move, but we have options aside from Emma.
Personally, I chose to come over to Europe early this season to get used to the weather and the cold. I wanted to hit the spring a bit fresher to achieve my own personal goals. It's all worked well so far. In the first couple of races, I lacked the race intensity, but I hope my legs and body are getting used to it all quickly. If I get the opportunity, I can always go for my own result. However, the team comes first.
When we say the objective is to win, it's easy to think anything less than that means we haven't been successful. We like to think that's not the case. Sometimes we race great as a team and we do everything we've set out to do, but we get beaten by a better rider at the end of the day.
On the flipside, it can go the other way, too. At Het Nieuwsblad we didn't race well as a team but Emma ran second. It was a good result, but we all knew that we didn't perform as well as we could have. We weren't organized. We didn't gel. It wasn't a success. Overall, I think it's important to look at the big picture, take it all in and measure success beyond the result on paper.

Farm boys, giant toys
What--if this is even possible--is better than playing with a fleet of toy farm vehicles? How about playing with the real vehicles?
On Sunday Uncle Ted escorted us to visit his friend Tommy Moser's farm. Our guys were delighted to explore a couple of big tractors (turns out Finn's an Allis-Chalmers man) plus a truly massive combine. Our visit to the chicken coop yielded a bucket of eggs we've been enjoying every day since, and Henry got a little freaked out regarding "mad cows" (as in "angry," not as in "Bovine spongiform encephalopathy"!).
Here's a gallery of photos, plus a video showing the egg-grabbing good times:

Authorities began a preemptive evacuation on Friday.
Thousands of people piled onto trucks in the Philippines on Christmas Day as a powerful typhoon barreled towards the archipelago.
The typhoon weakened as it cut across the Philippines on Monday after bringing down trees and power lines, and authorities warned of flash floods and mudslides although casualties were few with police reporting two deaths.
Authorities issued warnings of destruction after storm surges up to 2.5-metres (eight-feet) high as Nock-Ten closed in on the Bicol peninsula and nearby islands.
The typhoon was packing maximum sustained winds of 185 kph (115 mph) with gusts up to 255 kph as it moved west over the ocean at 15 kmh, the national disaster agency said in its latest weather bulletin. Sustained wind was earlier 175 kph with gusts of 215 kph.
"We went around with megaphones and gave instructions to our people to eat breakfast, pack and board the military trucks," Alberto Lindo, an official of Alcala, a farming village of 3,300 people near the active Mayon volcano, said.
Nock-Ten will hit Bicol on the south of the main island of Luzon on Sunday evening, the disaster agency said. An official said preemptive evacuations in the area began on Friday, with nearly 4,000 residents moving into emergency centres and more than 8,000 others seeking shelter elsewhere.
Civil defence officials in Bicol said earlier nearly half a million people in the region were in harm's way and needed to be evacuated.
Rescue teams gave priority to about 100 babies, toddlers, parents and elderly people in the evacuation process. They were moved to a school that is some seven kilometres (four miles) away.
All ferry services and commercial flights in Bicol were suspended.
After hitting Bicol, Nock-Ten is forecast to strike the heavily populated heartland of the main island of Luzon including, the capital Manila.
On Sunday, the coastguard ordered the beaches south of Manila to be cleared of holidaymakers by Monday, while residents of the island were warned to leave their homes.
Rescue workers on the island have been put on standby, evacuation centres opened and food and other rations have been stocked.
Typhoons are seen frequently in the archipelago. Super typhoon Haiyan struck central Philippines in November 2013, leaving 7,350 people dead or missing.

Loan Officer TrainingWritten by Dana Hinders
Loan officers use their knowledge of the lending process to provide clients with the type of loan that best meets their needs. Loan officers analyze credit scores, prepare loan applications, and compute loan payments. They refinance existing loans and provide sub-prime loans to borrowers with poor credit histories.
Loan officers are generally paid on a commission basis. They typically receive around one percent of a loan's total amount. A loan officer's income is directly tied to his or her effort and ability to approve a client's loan application. Most loan officers make about $50,000 per year, but their income potential is unlimited.
Successful loan officers are persuasive and have strong negotiating skills. They are good with numbers and pay attention to details. If this describes you, a loan officer training program can give you the knowledge you need to turn your natural talents into a rewarding career.
Types of Training
Many loan officers have undergraduate degrees in business, economics, or accounting. However, a degree is not necessary to become a loan officer. Training seminars, correspondence courses, and certification programs can provide job seekers with the skills they need enter this profession.
Most loan officer training programs cover how to process a loan application, comply with federal mortgage regulations, and compare the various types of loan products. Some loan officer training programs will provide sales and marketing advice for loan officers who wish to open their own businesses. Most instructors in loan officer training programs have several years of industry experience and are ideally experts in their field.
No two loan officer training programs are alike. Some training programs offer classroom instruction during the weekend and evening hours, while others specialize in print or web-based distance learning. Some loan officer training programs provide mentors, job placement services, and financial aid for their students. Trade publications, your state's regulatory agency, and local professional associations can help you select the loan officer training program that is most appropriate for your needs.
Licensing Requirements
There are no specific licensing requirements for loan officers who work in banks or credit unions, but licensing requirements for loan officers who work in mortgage banks or brokerages are determined on a state by state basis. Some states require that loan officers pass a written examination and submit to criminal background and credit check before obtaining a license. Other states do not require a loan officer to be licensed if his or her employer is fully licensed. Loan officer licenses are generally not transferable; a loan officer must be licensed in every state in which he or she wishes to conduct business.
It is your responsibility to determine if a loan officer training program will meet your state's licensing requirements. If you wish to open your own business, you may also need to have a mortgage broker's license. Mortgage brokers are typically required to maintain a surety bond of up to $100,000 and a specific net worth of up to $50,000. They may also be required to have a certain amount of previous lending experience.

One in seven individuals in the United States is "food insecure," lacking regular access to nutritious food. In the Philadelphia area, the incidence is nearly double that — one in four individuals or approximately 750,000 people in the Delaware Valley.
To address this crisis, Weavers Way staff, Philabundance, Food Moxie and the Co-op's Food Justice Committee are partnering to host a food drive this Thanksgiving season, collecting money and nonperishable food items Nov. 18-27 at the Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill stores.
Since 2005, Philabundance has been the region's largest hunger-relief organization, serving 350 member agencies — food cupboards, shelters, residential programs, social service agencies, emergency kitchens and neighborhood/church distribution programs — in southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey. In 2015, Philabundance distributed 30 million pounds of food. Executive Director Glenn Bergman was Weavers Way's general manager from 2004 to 2015 and says, "Not a day goes by that I don't miss Weavers Way and the community in the Northwest, but I have enjoyed learning more about the issues facing so many in our region and the great work that Philabundance and many other organizations are doing to help people in need."
In 2013, Weavers Way members Nathea Lee and Sue Wasserkrug, along with Outreach Coordinator Bettina de Caumette, organized the Co-op's Food Justice Committee. A member-driven group working to alleviate hunger in the region and advocating for equity in the production and distribution of healthy food, the committee meets the first Wednesday of every month. Members and non-members alike are welcome at FJC meetings and programs.
Food Moxie, the nonprofit "offshoot" of the Co-op formerly known as Weavers Way Community Programs, offers farm, nutrition and culinary education programs for children and adults at Stenton Family Manor, a city-run shelter in Germantown, and Martin Luther King and Saul high schools. Food Moxie (www.foodmoxie.org) has also built raised planting beds at a community training kitchen at a shelter in North Philadelphia run by Philabundance.
Food donated in the Weavers Way drive will go two local food cupboards — the Food Pantry at Church of the Annunciation, Carpenter Lane and Lincoln Drive, and Germantown Avenue Crisis Ministry, based at 35 W. Chelten Ave. (www.crisisministry.org). All monetary donations will go to Philabundance (philabundance.org), whose purchasing power enables it to provide two meals for every donated dollar. "If co-op principles can be added to fighting food insecurity, and I think they can, why not try and make the system better. I love the idea of working in collaboration with every person and nonprofit institution working to end hunger," Bergman said.
Collection sites will be staffed during store hours. Working members may sign up for shifts at the collection sites — check the Online Work Calendar in the Member Center at members.weaversway.coop (login required) or contact me at email@example.com or 610-999-5428 or Bettina at firstname.lastname@example.com or 215-843-2350, ext. 118.
With a successful food drive this November, the partners hope to host a perishable food drive next summer that would accept fresh food, including fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat.

News Corp. sees big post-attack loss
News Corp. lost about $100 million covering the terrorist attack due to
lost advertising and added news expenses covering the tragedy, said company
chairman and chief operating officer Peter Chernin.
"We are now looking at a greatly altered advertising
landscape," Chernin told attendees at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia media
conference in New York Tuesday Oct. 1.
"It's a tough environment with limited visibility, great volatility and recessionary pressures."
Earlier Tuesday morning, News Corp. issued downwardly
revised earnings guidance for fiscal year 2002 for both itself and Fox
Entertainment Group.
While the bar is lowered, the fact that News Corp. is still anticipating profits at all in this environment "is testament to the underlying strength of our business," Chernin said.
To help the bottom line, News Corp. and Fox will be
reducing costs by many millions, including personnel and other overhead costs,
plant costs and renegotiating vendor deals, Chernin said.
The cost cutting will be "pretty broad," although he stressed that layoffs
would be kept to minimum where possible.
Chernin did say that News Corp.'s "global presence" coupled with
the fact that more than half of its businesses are not advertising-dependent
should help the company weather the current economic downturn.
Fox Broadcasting sold 80% of its inventory at flat prices and is therefore
"protected" in the scatter market regardless of how it shapes up, he said.
The TV syndication unit will deliver $1.2 to $1.8 billion in profits over the next five to six years, he said.
This year alone, King of the Hill, The Practice, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ally McBeal all launch in syndication.
The company's cable networks added a combined 100 million in subscribers last year, he said.
Those results have bolstered cable sales: FX did $105
million in business in this year's upfront versus $69 million last year; Fox
News Channel did 70% more business with 4% price hikes.
And the tough environment hasn't caused News Corp. to rethink its bid for Hughes-negotiations continue to drag on and News Corp. still sees great upside in doing that deal if it can, said Chernin.
"The efficiencies of having 20 million direct-to-home subscribers around the globe excites us today as much as it did a year and a half ago," when the company first started talking to General Motors about acquiring its Hughes subsidiary, which operates DirecTV. - Steve McClellan

China's Lenovo Group reported a more than three-fold increase in its quarterly profit as strong computer sales helped the world's largest personal computer (PC) maker to beat market expectations.
Lenovo's net profit in the quarter ended March rose to $118 million (roughly Rs. 820 crores) compared with an average estimate of $91.4 million by seven analysts, according to Refinitiv data, and versus a profit of $33 million a year earlier.
"The growth strategy of PC and Smart Device (PCSD) focusing on commercial, high-growth and premium segments has paid off in delivering record revenue for the fiscal year," CEO and Chairman Yang Yuanqing said in a statement on Thursday.
Revenue rose 10 percent to $11.71 billion (roughly Rs. 81,500 crores), in line with the average estimate of $11.65 billion by 11 analysts.
For the full year ended March, Lenovo swung to a profit of $597 million, from a loss of $189 million a year earlier. Revenue rose to a record $51 billion, which Lenovo attributed mainly to record revenue from its PCSD business – which accounts for 75 percent of its total revenue.
The global PC market as measured in shipment units declined 4.6% in the three months of the year, estimates from industry consultancy Gartner show.

Remember, remember…the 5th of November.
In Britain, every November the 5th people burn effigies in bonfire during celebrations with lots of fireworks: it's Guy Fawkes Night! it's a special day in honour of a historic event.
In November 1605 a group of men made a plan to blow up the House of Parliament (the government buildings) in London. The plan is known as the "Gunpowder Plot". A man called Guy Fawkes had been commissioned to set off the explosion. The police found the gunpowder before it exploded and they caught the people involved in the plot. They were tortured and killed. From that day forward, people of England have a bonfire with Fawkes' effigie and fireworks every 5th of November.
•What was the Gunpowder Treason?
•When and where did it take place?
•Who was Guy Fawkes?
•Which film sets the Gunpowder Plot as historical inspiration?
There is as well a traditional rhyme about the Gunpowder Plot popularised by the movie V for Vendetta:
