Meet the Scientist
This is the third of five "Meet the Scientist" journal entries featuring the members of the intrepid Automatic Weather Station crew. Have you been wondering who is with me here in Antarctica? Have you wondered how these people became scientists and what kind of experience and qualifications they have in order to get here? "Meet the Scientist" should answer those questions and more.
Elina Valkonen
Elina is from Finland and will be 26 years old in a few weeks. Below you will read what she says about herself and her participation with the AWS team.
"I'm studying for my Ph.D. at Colorado University-Boulder in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. I study storms over the Arctic Ocean, how they interact with the sea ice and ocean surfaces. I'm originally from Finland, where I got my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Meteorology from the University of Helsinki in Finland. I was always good at math and sciences, and got accepted to the physics program at the University Helsinki and meteorology was one of the choices for my major. I also have to admit that until college I was never super fascinated by physics, I was okay in it, but honestly felt it lacked the connection to real world (in high school, all you do is calculate how much force is required for a ball to roll down a steep hill… at least that's how I felt, hahahah). I just liked physics more than chemistry. But then I got to the meteorology courses and the more I studied meteorology the more I got fascinated by the field and how these massive weather systems interact. And now I'm totally sold, never too tired to talk about clouds or storms or precipitation. In polar meteorology specifically, the unresolved issues and small improvements that can then lead to more accurate forecasts and climate analyses pique my interest. So, to put it more simply, what fascinates me about polar meteorology and climatology is the fact that there is still a lot to be found in this subfield, which is not the case with all subfields. Not to claim that our theories would be perfect by any means, but in many instances, we do know enough to have accurate forecasts, whereas in the polar regions, that is not always the case due to lack of observations and understanding."
"I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work as a research assistant alongside my studies at the Finnish Meteorological Institute and learned a lot! Through that work, I got the idea to take a course from the University Centre in Svalbard, which offers amazing fieldwork courses in a variety of polar fields. The course taught me that I love fieldwork! It also introduced me to a bunch of great people from my field, both students and professors, including my current advisor from Colorado University-Boulder. I also noticed that even though living in a foreign country (the United States) seemed exciting and intimidating at the same time, in reality, it is just like normal life back home. Especially with fast internet connections and "Whatsapp", it's easy to keep in touch with friends and family at home. And this was the final push I needed to decide to do my Ph.D. studies in the United States. I've always loved to travel and played with the idea of studying abroad and meeting other people who were doing their Ph.D. studies abroad, I realized that "Hey I can do that also!" And it has been one of the best decisions of my life!"
"My advisor collaborates with the AWS group and that is how I ended up getting a chance to come to Antarctica. It's been totally amazing so far! So I would say that my path here has been partly planned, and partly a series of rushed decisions and lucky coincidences, but I'm very happy and fortunate to be able to do what I am doing here. On my free time, I love to dance (mostly ballet or jazz), watch movies (binge-watching old Disney classics is always a good way to spend the evening), run and hike (hoping one day to reach my first 14'er).

Card size
CNYGamer posted a topic in Twilight ImperiumI want to buy the card sleeves that I'll need for when my pre-order arrives. Is it a safe assumption that all of the cards will be the same 1 5/8" x 2 1/2" sized cards that TI 3e uses?

CNYGamer posted a topic in Legacy Game DiscussionI notice that all reference to it has been removed from the website, and the forum has been archived (https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/forum/34-battlestar-galactica/) Has anyone heard anything official about the game being discontinued?
Rule Variant - Destiny Deck
CNYGamer replied to jhagen's topic in Battlestar GalacticaI'm not sure how you can count cards with the destiny deck. You have no way of knowing which cards came from the destiny deck and which cards were contributed by a player. That's the whole reason you shuffle the stack of skill cards before revealing them.
Has this game been discontinued?
CNYGamer replied to sublevel27's topic in Battlestar GalacticaI noticed the same thing. I'm hoping it doesn't get discontinued. I finally picked up Exodus and Daybreak recently.

Destroyed Systems
CNYGamer replied to Marshal8's topic in Star Wars: RebellionIt does go back to his hand, but he can't immediately play it again. The Rebel player is only allowed to play one objective card per combat, and one objective card per Refresh Phase. Thanks to KoalaXav for pointing out my mistake. The Rules Reference actually addresses this card specifically: "If the Rebel player does not roll a <direct hit symbol>, he keeps the card and does not gain any reputation. The card can be used during a future combat round." So I was a little bit correct. He can't replay the card "immediately" but he can play it on the next combat round.
Why not just hide in Mon Cal system
CNYGamer replied to chriscook's topic in Star Wars: RebellionI'll add to the opinions here: when I play the Imps, Mon Calamari is a system that I like to get a grip on quickly because I can deprive the Rebel player of a Mon Calamari cruiser and give myself an additional Star Destroyer. And if I can't have it for myself, I have no problem destroying it so the Rebel player can't have it either.

A Few Rules Questions
CNYGamer replied to dmday512's topic in Star Wars: Rebellion1. Yes, you must pair an action card with the picture leader, or one of the two pictured leaders in the case of action cards that have two leaders shown, unless the card explicitly says otherwise. 2. The Rebels deploy first. Placing units on the build queue is done simultaneously. 3. The card you're referring to is Wookie Guardian. Because it says "Use when your opponent attempts a spec ops mission" (emphasis mine), that means the mission in question must be opposed in order for Wookie Guardian to cause it to fail. If an Imperial mission says "Resolve...", Wookie Guardian can't be used because "resolve" missions can't be opposed. Likewise, if an Imperial mission says "Attempt..." and if the Rebel player has no leader in the system Wookie Guardian can't be used because such a mission is unopposed, meaning no dice are rolled and it automatically succeeds. 4. No. If there is an Imperial loyalty marker, any Imperial units (space or ground), or a destroyed system marker in the system in question, the Rebel player cannot relocate his or her base to that system. 5. A player may reveal a mission during the Command Phase as long as at least one of his leaders is assigned to the mission. So if, for example, a mission has one of the admiral's leader and one of the general's leaders assigned to it, even if the admiral has already passed, the general can still reveal that mission because at least one of his leaders are assigned to it.
To add to what KoalaXav said, if Ozzel's action card, which we have already established resolves during the Assignment phase, results in a combat, the Rebel player has the option of bringing in a leader to assist in the battle as per the normal combat rules.
You play it during the Assignment phase and it resolves during the Assignment phase. This gives the Imperial player a rare opportunity to get the jump on the Rebels, who get to take the first action during the Command Phase.
capturing seems like a somewhat unbalanced mechanic
CNYGamer replied to Scoundrel's topic in Star Wars: RebellionAnother subtlety to consider is what happens immediately after a Rebel leader is captured. That leader can't be moved from the system in which it was captured until the next round. But the Rebel player gets to take the first action during the Command Phase of that next round. So if the Rebel player happens to have Daring Rescue in his hands, potentially he can rescue the captured Rebel leader and vanish off to the Rebel base before the Imperial player can do anything about it.
capturing seems like a somewhat unbalanced mechanic
CNYGamer replied to Scoundrel's topic in Star Wars: RebellionYes, Capture Rebel Operative can only be played against a Rebel leader that is in a system that contains an Imperial unit. It has to be that way because if a captured leader is ever in a system that contains no Imperial units, it is automatically rescued. So even if the card did you allow you to play it against a Rebel leader in a system that contained no Imperial units, you would capture the leader and then it would immediately become rescued. Edit: changed "Rebel unit" to "Rebel leader"
I guess it depends on the rules for that specific tournament. I'm pretty sure some tournaments automatically advance the first person who rage flips the table to the final round.
I think it would be difficult to center an organized play program around a game like Rebellion. First, as you already pointed out, games take a long time. And they take longer still when you're teaching new people how to play. As both a former retailer and a former OP manager for a game company, I feel confident in saying that good organized play events are held on weekdays in the evening, and typically don't ask anyone to be willing to commit more than about two hours of time. Second, although the game is technically a 2-4 player game, in my opinion it's really a two-player game (and I know that there are some very intelligent and well-informed opinions that disagree with mine, so take my opinion at just that: one person's opinion). But either way, you're talking about needing a $100 set-up for each game that takes place, whether that is accommodating two players or three or four, it's still a bit much for organized play. I can see game conventions running multi-round tournaments of Rebellion. At Origins, I've participated in tournaments of Twilight Imperium, which is a game that takes even longer to play than Rebellion. They typically don't have more than one round in the same day, which means players who advance play the next day. Or they have multiple feeder games over two or three days, with the top player from each feeder game playing in the final round. Just my $0.02 worth.
CNYGamer replied to Anubisfm's topic in Star Wars: RebellionNo, the ten die cap is a ten die cap. The five die cap is combat. In combat the die cap is also 10 per player: 5 black + 5 red.

What happens when you replace the communion table with the coffee table, as the normative table around which the congregation gathers?
It shapes the church community. But in what ways?
Coffee enhances our ability to move between spaces. We drink it in cafes, 'third spaces' between home and work (unless, of course, you happen to work in a coffee house!). The opportunity to drink coffee before and after the service, usually held in a space between the world outside and the worship space, helps us to transition between those spaces.
In this sense, coffee enhances accessibility – as does the displacement of the communion table where communion is an unfamiliar liturgical event.
However, these changes do not simply enhance accessibility into a community; they change the nature of the community access is gained to...
The person of Jesus as the one who unites us is made obsolete. We are united, instead, by a shared social activity. The act of eucharist is both thankful remembrance of what Jesus did when his body was broken for us, and the re-membering or putting-together of his broken body, the church. This body-bread is offered to God, broken and given to the crowds – sent out into the world – and also gathered-up again, in order to be blessed and broken and given out once more. We recognise our need to be offered to God and our need to be given to the world, just as Jesus offered himself up to God for the world.
Where the coffee table replaces the communion table as the normative table around which we gather, both our need to be offered to God and our need to be given to the world become obsolete. Rather than being shaped by Jesus we are shaped – albeit indirectly, oh-so-subtly – by St Arbucks and other coffee-empire logos.
The coffee table retrieves the pause lost in a driven world: I do not have to rush off. It promises rest, refreshment. Just as Jesus offers rest for the weary, and streams of living water. There is nothing wrong with coffee per se, but when it becomes the normative table – the act that shapes us – it holds out a poor substitute for Jesus, an idol that shapes and justifies me-time.
Flips into
A barrier into the community, a picket-line that must be crossed, where to get to the coffee that enhances accessibility the visitor must wait until the regulars have had their fill.

The magician's choice
The idea is to set up multiple paths to the same endpoint. In the simplest version, you deal two cards down on the table and ask the spectator to "remove" to one of them. If your volunteer removes to the card you want to force, you say "Ok, that'll be yours." If, however, the spectator points to the other card, you eliminate it, saying "Great, we'll remove that one." (Here you're exploiting the ambiguity in the meaning of the word remove.) Either way the spectator winds up with the same card. This sounds transparent—especially with only two cards—but it gets more sophisticated. In the right hands, it can be incredibly deceptive. By couching choices in ambiguous, open-ended language and exploiting the fact that the spectator doesn't know what's coming—assuming they've never seen the trick before—the magician can gently control an apparently free decision from among numerous items.

Prevention of mental disorders worldwide requires a greater understanding of protective processes associated with lower levels of mental health problems in children who face pervasive life stressors. This study aimed to identify culturally appropriate indicators of individual-level protective factors in Rwandan adolescents where risk factors, namely poverty and a history of trauma, have dramatically shaped youth mental health.
The sample included 367 youth aged 10–17 in rural Rwanda. An earlier qualitative study of the same population identified the constructs "kwihangana" (patience/perseverance) and "kwigirira ikizere" (self-esteem) as capturing local perceptions of individual-level characteristics that helped reduce risks of mental health problems in youth. Nine items from the locally derived constructs were combined with 25 items from an existing scale that aligned well with local constructs—the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). We assessed the factor structure of the CD-RISC expanded scale using exploratory factor analysis and determined the correlation of the expanded CD-RISC with depression and functional impairment.
The CD-RISC expanded scale displayed high internal consistency (α = 0.93). Six factors emerged, which we labeled: perseverance, adaptability, strength/sociability, active engagement, self-assuredness, and sense of self-worth. Protective factor scale scores were significantly and inversely correlated with depression and functional impairment (r = −0.49 and r = − 0.38, respectively).
An adapted scale displayed solid psychometric properties for measuring protective factors in Rwandan youth. Identifying culturally appropriate protective factors is a key component of research associated with the prevention of mental health problems and critical to the development of cross-cultural strength-based interventions for children and families.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers housing grants for disabled veterans who are at risk of homelessness or who need help making repairs to their homes. You can connect with a homelessness prevention counselor on the VA website or on the National Call Center hotline 24 hours a day. This service is provided at no cost to veterans and their family members.
Supportive Services for Veteran Families
The VA awards funding to nonprofit organizations for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program. Grants can be used to help homeless veteran families or those at risk of becoming homeless. Disabled veterans also qualify for this program. The family can get temporary help to pay for rent, deposits, utility fees and other moving expenses. The money is paid directly to the property owner or moving company. To qualify for help, the family's income cannot exceed 50 percent of the area's median income and the veteran must be the head of household.
Specially Adapted Housing Grant
The Specially Adapted Housing Grant is provided to veterans with a service-related injury. Eligible veterans can qualify to receive up to $63,780 to acquire a home with special adaptations, construct a home or make adaptations to a home that she already owns. To qualify for help, the veteran must be certified with injuries that include the loss of use of either both arms or both legs, blindness, a disability due to a severe burn injury or a combination of any of these. Typical housing adaptations include widening doorways, installing ramps or creating bathrooms with easier access.
Special Housing Adaptations Grant
The VA also provides a Special Housing Adaptations Grant to veterans with less severe service-related injuries. Grants can be awarded for up to $12,756 to be used toward the purchase of an adapted home or to remodel a home that is already owned. To qualify for help, the veteran must have an injury that includes blindness in both eyes, the loss of use in both hands or a permanent disability due to a severe burn. Typical adaptations include the installation of sliding doors, special lighting or an intercom system.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the VA have created the HUD-VASH voucher program to help homeless veterans obtain permanent housing. Veterans with physical disabilities, mental illness or a history or substance abuse benefit the most from this program. The voucher subsidizes a portion of the veteran's rent. To qualify for help, the veteran must lack an adequate nighttime residence. Veterans in emergency shelters also qualify for help. The veteran must agree to participate in case management services to ensure that he can maintain his residential stability. These supportive services can include substance abuse counseling or job skills training.

Los Angeles Surrogacy and Egg Donation Agency
Helping to build families since 1996, Growing Generations is a full-service surrogacy and egg donation agency based in Los Angeles, California. Located at 5900 Wilshire Blvd #550, Los Angeles, CA 90036, we were the first agency dedicated to serving the gay and lesbian community, and to provide services for HIV-positive men. Now, we are proud to help all families, regardless of family status.
If you are interested in partnering with our agency to be a surrogate, egg donor or intended parent, you don't have to live in California. Thanks to technology, we are able to perform consultations via video. However, you can make appointments for consultations, match meetings and psychological screenings in Los Angeles.
We also have offices in New York and West Virginia.
Interested in Being a Surrogate?
- We've been working with surrogates for over 20 years, and we provide expert guidance through every step of the process.
- Growing Generations covers all costs for medical screenings and related travel.
Things for Intended Parents to Know
- Growing Generations only works in surrogacy-friendly states (over 40 states and counting, including California), and all of our intended parents have successfully received parentage judgments establishing their rights.
- We created a Legacy Program for VIP and celebrity parents-to-be that meets the unique needs of some of our intended parents who are looking for a completely customized approach to surrogacy.
- Our agency team provides a highly personalized approach to matching. The entire surrogacy process often takes 15 to 20 months.
Reach out to our team now if you have any additional questions about our services, agency or the processes along this life-changing journey. You can also call us at 1-323-965-7500.

Boaters know how electrical currents remove particles of metal from one underwater fitting and deposit them on another. A bronze prop can be coated with aluminum removed from a neighboring sterndrive. In that "system," the aluminum sterndrive is the anode and loses electrons (and particles) to the cathode, the bronze prop.
Similarly, compolysis attacks cored fiberglass laminates, like submerged boat hulls. As the electrical potential increases, one skin becomes anodic and releases electrons to the other skin, the cathode, to balance the system. Particles detach from one skin and land on the other, making the cored laminate much weaker than its designers intended. For more details, watch the video below that outlines the causes of, and fixes for, compolysis.

In February, in light of the upcoming EU elections, UITP launched a Manifesto calling for all forthcoming EU decision makers to put Mobility on Top of their agenda for the next five years. UITP pledged politicians and public transport stakeholders to recognise the major role public transport plays in our lives and cities, and actively support the campaign. The Manifesto has been open for signatures on a #MobilityOnTop website.
Just over one month after the elections, we can say that the campaign has been a great success! UITP has received more than 300 signatures: 36 of them are from members of the European parliament, 78 were candidates to the EU elections, and 25 are other political representatives, making a total of 139 EU decision makers. The rest of the signatories are representatives of public transport stakeholders from all over Europe.
UITP will keep putting mobility on the minds of EU decision makers: the Manifesto is still open for signatures. UITP will approach the elected candidates to present our priorities.
The campaign will run until the end of the year. UITP will use the platform to promote our objectives for the next legislature, and other actions are being prepared - Stay tuned!
"With our MobilityOnTop campaign, we are asking the EU decision makers to make urban mobility a key priority to achieve EU ambitions in terms of inclusion, innovation, employment, clean air and mitigating climate change. We are happy our campaign received the support of more than 100 political representatives. We are looking forward to collaborating with them and other EU decision makers to translate our objectives as stated in the Manifesto into concrete actions to help improve mobility in European cities and the quality of European citizens' daily life", said Thomas Avanzata, UITP Europe Senior Director.


text: Why is My Gas Furnace Blowing Cold Air? Posted November 13, 2018 As the temps change, the more you feel the colder air gusting outside. And … inside your home? If your gas furnace is blowing cold air and adding a chill to your Genoa home, it's time to reach out to Assured Appliance and Heating & Air. Sometimes a lack of warm air from your gas furnace results in a big repair, but a lot of time it can be a small fix. Here are several reasons your gas furnace might be blowing cold air instead of warming up your house. Your furnace might be overheating If you haven't had ongoing maintenance performed on your gas furnace lately and you've neglected to replace your air filter, either could be the reason why your furnace is blowing colder air. A dirty air filter can prevent air from flowing freely through your furnace. If this occurs, the furnace might overheat and force the burner to shut down. Your pilot light may have gone out It could be that a lack of warm air from your gas furnace can be attributed to something as simple as a pilot light that's gone out. It's possible, especially with older furnaces, for a gust of air to extinguish a pilot light. Other causes of an extinguished pilot light are faulty gas valves or a faulty thermocouple. Your furnace is dirty Just as a dirty air filter can cause problems for your gas furnace, so can other furnace components if they aren't correctly cleaned. A dirty gas burner or flame sensor could cause your furnace to struggle to stay lit and not be able to bring warmth to your home. Your ducts may not be properly sealed If your ducts aren't sealed properly or if they have any cracks or holes in them, you might be losing a lot of heated air before it ever reaches your vents. No matter what the culprit of the problem is, Assured Appliance and Heating & Air in Genoa can help you get your gas furnace up and working at an efficient level again. We can also help keep it running with regular, preventive maintenance. Call our experts at 847-306-8990 or schedule an appointment with us online and we'll be there to help. Back To Blog

Exxon Mobil Corporation said it made its eighth oil discovery offshore Guyana at the Longtail-1 well, creating the potential for additional resource development in the southeast area of the Stabroek Block.
ExxonMobil encountered approximately 256 feet (78 meters) of high-quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoir. The well was safely drilled to 18,057 feet (5,504 meters) depth in 6,365 feet (1,940 meters) of water. The Stena Carron drillship commenced drilling on May 25, 2018.
The Longtail discovery is in close proximity to the Turbot discovery southeast of the Liza field, said Steve Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil Exploration Company. Longtail drilling results are under evaluation. However, the combined estimated recoverable resources of Turbot and Longtail will exceed 500 million barrels of oil equivalent, and will contribute to the evaluation of development options in this eastern portion of the block.
ExxonMobil is currently making plans to add a second exploration vessel offshore Guyana in addition to the Stena Carron drillship, bringing its total number of drillships on the Stabroek Block to three. The new vessel will operate in parallel to the Stena Carron to explore the blocks numerous high-value prospects.
The Noble Bob Douglas is completing initial stages of development drilling for Liza Phase 1, for which ExxonMobil announced a funding decision in 2017. Phase 1 will consist of 17 wells connected to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel designed to produce up to 120,000 barrels of oil per day. First oil is expected in early 2020. Phase 2 concepts are similar to Phase 1 and involve a second FPSO with production capacity of 220,000 barrels per day. A third development, Payara, is planned to follow Liza Phase 2.
Guyanese businesses, contractors and employees continue to play an important role in ExxonMobils operations in the country. ExxonMobil and project partners spent $24 million with more than 300 local suppliers in 2017 and opened the Centre for Local Business Development in the capital city of Georgetown to promote the establishment and growth of small- and medium-sized local businesses. ExxonMobils priorities in Guyana are focused on enabling local workforce and supplier development and collaborating with government to support the growth and success of its economy, both in the energy and non-energy sectors.
The Stabroek Block is 6.6 million acres (26,800 square kilometers). Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is operator and holds 45 percent interest in the Stabroek Block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30 percent interest and CNOOC Nexen Petroleum Guyana Limited holds 25 percent interest.
About ExxonMobil
ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), the largest publicly traded international energy company, uses technology and innovation to help meet the worlds growing energy needs. ExxonMobil holds an industry-leading inventory of resources, is one of the largest refiners and marketers of petroleum products, and its chemical company is one of the largest in the world.

Janet & Walter Sondheim Artscape Prize
The Artscape prize is named in honor of Janet and Walter Sondheim who have been instrumental in creating the Baltimore City that exists today. Walter Sondheim, Jr. had been one of Baltimore's most important civic leaders for over 50 years. His accomplishments included oversight of the desegregation of the Baltimore City Public Schools in 1954 when he was president of the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City. Later, he was deeply involved in the development of Charles Center and the Inner Harbor. He continued to be active in civic and educational activities in the city and state and served as the senior advisor to the Greater Baltimore Committee until his death in February 2007.
Janet Sondheim danced with the pioneering Denishawn Dancers, a legendary dance troupe founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. Later, she turned to teaching where she spent 15 years at the Children's Guild working with severely emotionally disturbed children. After retirement, she was a volunteer tutor at Highlandtown Elementary School. She married Walter in 1934, and they were together until her death in 1992.
America's largest free arts festival, attracting more than 350,000 attendees, offers concerts on multiple outdoor stages, art exhibitions, an artists' market, a full schedule of dance, theater and opera, jazz, classical, folk and experimental music, children's activities, exhibitors, and an extensive variety of local food and beverage vendors on Mount Royal Avenue and North Charles Street.

Do you guys make lists?
I was able to sneak in a trip to one of my favorite coffee shops yesterday, and instead of immediately pulling out my book to read like I planned, I found myself writing in my bullet journal instead.
I updated my sentence journal where I reflect on the day before, and I found myself writing down some things that I have learned so far in April.
I'm not sure what it is about this simple act of reflection, but it felt very "life-giving" as Emily Freeman would say.
It only took about five minutes to work on these small lists, but it kind of changed the tone of my day–busy to reflective. Rushed to slow. It was a nice change of pace.

Goblin-King wrote:The mercenary argument is actually very convincing.
We have played that you can't target the 4 squares. The logic being that those are the ones you are in melee distance in.
Yes, but with a halberd or longsword you can attack diagonally, and those are also melee weapons. So to me the 8 spots around you are all melee, but the diagonal ones require a longer weapon.
If there's a square between you and the monsters, then it's ranged, either hor/vert/diag.
Goblin-King wrote:Fullork345 wrote:About the crossbow replacing the longsword, doesn't being diaongal count as being adjacent? I would think it does.
In my book, adjacent is the four non-diagonal squares. north, south, east, west.
Fullork345 wrote:I think it's an oversight personally, but your right, read as written it's just the 4. But I think the intention of the not adjacent is all 8. Unless your not supposed to shoot diagonally! But I doubt that's the case.
I'm going to houserule it too, it just seems dumb that the halbrider would be useless.
Daedalus wrote:sean582 wrote:In my version's armory the crossbow description says......but makes exclusion to diagonal attacks. So for me, if my hero has a crossbow and a broadsword then he can hit any adjacent or diagonal square with 3 attack dice so a longsword is obsolete. What am I missing here?you cannot fire at a monster that is adjacent to you
The Longsword has a purpose, but you can't equate the diagonal attack from a Longsword with a Crossbow shot from the same diagonal space. Why? Because a careful inspection of wording disallows a Crossbow shot diagonally between 2 corners. The wording for the Crossbow from the Armory goes like this:
This long-range weapon gives you the
attack strength of 3 combat dice. You
may fire at any monster that you can
"see." However, you cannot fire at
a monster that is adjacent to you....
So you have to "see" a monster in order to fire at it.
The wording for seeing from p.15 of the N. Amer. Instruction Booklet has this to say under "SEE":
A Good Rule of Thumb: Draw an
invisible straight line between the center
of the square the spellcaster is on and
the center of the square the target is on.
If the line does not cross a wall, closed
door, Hero or monster, the target is
declared visible, even if the line just
touches a corner or wall edge. The
following diagram shows an example
of what is visible.
The key is the qualifying dependent clause "...even if the line just touches a corner or wall edge." This specifically includes the case of one corner of a Hero or monster--indicated by the article "a", but it doesn't include a line that touches two meeting corners of two Heroes or monsters. Touching just one corner or edge provides line-of-sight to the target because the square(s) opposite/across from of the blocking corner or edge are free of obstruction. Should two corners of obtructing squares meet, however, then there are no clear squares opposite to "see" through.
So a Hero is prohibited by the "see" rule from shooting through two corners, which is the case when shooting between diagonally-adjacent monsters or Heroes. The diagonal attack of a Longsword is useful because it is under no such restriction. Similarly, a Hero can't shoot a Crossbow diagonally between a door corner and the corner of an adjacent Hero. Again, the diagonal attacking ability of the Longsword allows this....

A Penny Saved Is A Tour Date Earned: How Be Frugal On Tour
DIY touring is challenging for a number of reasons, but perhaps none is greater than the financial burden it places on you and your bandmates. That said, touring is fun and necessary part of developing your career as an artist, and with proper planning, you can limit the amount of money you need to spend on the road.
Guest post by Rich Nardo of TuneCore
DIY touring is hard. The financial strains associated with travel are among the biggest stressors that an artist has to deal with early in their career. That being said, don't let that deter you from getting out to stages beyond your hometown!
If you watch your wallet and plan effectively, you CAN get on the road and make a little money in the process. Here are a few easy tips to help cut costs as you prepare to expand your gigging range.
Weekend Warrior? Come home after!
I've mentioned this a few times before but, when you're getting started with touring, don't make the mistake of stringing too many dates together. If you keep your gigs within a couple of hours of your hometown, you can still spend the night in your own bed.
Obviously, don't put yourself in danger by driving when you're exhausted but if you are capable of getting home that saves you a hotel bill that will likely be at least $100.
Play Tetris With Your Travel
Travel as light as possible. If you don't have a van, see what you can do about packing one of your SUVs or minivans as efficiently (and safely) as possible. If you know the other bands that you're playing with, ask about sharing equipment to lighten your load.
It also helps to find out what kind of backline the venue is working with. I know you love the sound of your amp or kit, but your musicianship will still shine through on someone else's gear.
Couch Surf When You Can
If you've given it some thought and you're going to spend the night away, see if you have friends in town that will let you crash. I can't stress enough that finding alternatives to paying for a hotel room is your best chance of coming out of road shows with a profit.
If you do decide that a hotel room is a must, it makes sense to get a band credit card with travel points on it. If you're dedicated to touring, this could end up saving you a lot of money as you start racking up points that you can put towards lodging. Just make sure you are paying off the balance every month and not getting extravagant with your use of the card.
Save The Crew for the Arenas
I know its more fun to bring your friends, but everybody along for the ride is costing you money. It's one more person that has to be fed and transported. Even if they're paying their own way, it still makes it harder to coordinate cheap travel and lodging. There will be plenty of time to bring them along when your payouts get larger.
Pack A Meal Or Two
As someone that loves food, I get the allure of trying new spots in a city you may not have been to before, but it saves a lot of money if you pack yourself a meal or two. If you want to treat yourself once in a while, then do it, but if you're traveling every weekend, it's going to start eating (no pun intended) into your profits pretty quickly.
Maybe try picking and choosing when you're going to eat out on the road and when you're going to bring something from home. The sacrifices you make early on will help you get to your bigger picture goals that much quicker.
Promote Directly…Say Hi Online!
It costs nothing to reach out to someone on social media. I go into more detail on how to approach this in my previous TuneCore article of marketing for your tour, but it's worth reiterating. Spend some time every day before your show reaching out to people that may be into your band in the city you're playing via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and any other outlet you think potential fans might be spending their time online.
Limit The Extracurricular Activities
The most overlooked aspect of saving money on tour is the amount of cash spent on 'extracurricular' activities. We already touched on food, but this extends to drinking and even shopping. Partying is expensive and it limits the probability of you being fit to drive home after your show. There are a lot of ways to explore a city for free if you have some time to kill that will actually be more rewarding than hanging at the venue killing time with some beers. If you do insist on throwing a few back, make sure you work out a drink deal or free drink tickets with the venue ahead of time.
At the end of the day, touring is like any other worthwhile endeavor. It's a lot of work and sacrifice upfront but if you endure the initial difficulties, you'll get to have more of the experiences you always dreamed of.
Think about what you want out of your touring career and figure out the necessary steps to make that happen. What aspects of being on the road can you cut costs on now that allow you to save (or even make) money? Those are the things that will allow you to play more shows away from home and genuinely building your fanbase.
Now go out there, have some fun and try to save a dollar or two as you start your career as a touring musician!

A digital rights management (DRM) licensing authority is strong-arming search firms, bloggers and open source advocates in a desperate attempt to stop the spread of a software key that disables copyright protection on Blu-ray and HD-DVD disks.
Copyright reform activist Cory Doctorow decided on Monday to remove the information from a group blog to which he contributes after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator (AACS-LA).
The AACS-LA is backed by technology vendors including IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Sony and Walt Disney, and oversees the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) DRM technology used on high-definition DVDs.
The so-called processing keys published on the blog let users disable the DRM that prevents users from copying the disks or playing them on unlicensed equipment or software.
Doctorow is not the first blogger to receive a legal order from the AACS-LA. Several other blogs have been ordered to remove references to the key as well as links to a forum where it was first disclosed.
The AACS-LA has even issued legal threats against Google.
The crack first surfaced in mid-February on a Doom 9 forum. In an act of defiance, numerous bloggers have posted the key on their websites or linked to the website detailing the original crack.
They also submitted the web pages to social news services such as Digg in an effort to spread the information to a wider audience.
Ultimately the AACS-LA campaign has achieved the direct opposite of its intention. Instead of stopping the crack from spreading, the moves have notified more people of its whereabouts and how to exploit it.
A spokesperson for the AACS-LA did not immediately return a request for additional information.
DRM lobby scrambles to block HD DVD crack

The Central Coast has 16 patrolled coastal beaches and two ocean pool complexes at The Entrance and Pearl Beach. To increase patron safety, lifeguards and volunteers patrol the beaches during the warmer months.
Beach safety lifeguard services
Central Coast Council lifeguards and Surf Life Saving volunteers provide search and rescue services for our coastal beaches as well as emergency medical care when required. They also play an important role in educating swimmers and visitors on beach and water safety.
Beach patrol services begin on Saturday 28 September 2019 and finish on Monday 27 April 2020.
Lifeguards supervise The Grant McBride Baths at The Entrance seven days a week all year round.
Hours of patrol
Non-peak holiday times - 28 September 2019 - 20 December 2019 and 28 January 2020 - 27 April 2020, 9am to 5pm across all 15 beach locations and The Grant McBride Baths.
Peak holiday period - 21 December 2019 - 27 January 2020 at all locations (including Budgewoi) will operate from 9am to 6pm. Terrigal, Avoca and Umina beaches operate an hour earlier - from 8am until 6pm.
Beach safety
Conditions on coastal beaches can change suddenly. When swimming at one of the Central Coast's beautiful beaches, please follow the lifeguards' directions and obey the signs.
- No flags means no swimming
- Always swim or surf at patrolled beaches
- Swim between the red and yellow flags
- If we can't see you, we can't save you
- If you get into difficulty, raise your arm, stay calm, and yell for assistance
- If you are unsure of conditions, ask the lifeguard or lifesaver in attendance
- Read and obey the signs and directions from the lifeguard or lifesaver
- Never run and dive into water, as the depth can change regularly
- Children should be supervised by an adult at all times
- Always 'Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide'
The Grant McBride Baths
The Grant McBride Baths at The Entrance is a popular swimming spot for families and lap swimmers. The Baths have a 50 metre outdoor pool, 22 metre lap pool, a children's wading pool and amenities.
The baths are open all year round (free entry), from 6am to 6pm during summer and 7am to 3pm during winter.
From 1 May 2019 until 27 September 2019 the baths are supervised from 8am to 1pm.
Between 28 September 2019 and 27 April 2020, the baths are supervised from 9am to 5pm and from 9am to 6pm during the peak Christmas school holiday period.
Each year, in the swimming season from October to April, Central Coast Council monitors water quality for swim-safety once a week and reports on the water quality of 32 local swimming areas. This includes 15 ocean beaches, four lagoon sites and 13 tidal baths and rock pools. Outside of the swimming season from May to September sites are sampled monthly.
Results of our Beachwatch monitoring are updated on our Beachwatch Program page, as well as the Office of Environment and Heritage Beachwatch website.

Before/After School Clubs
I am delighted to tell you that from September 2019 we will be running a breakfast club and an after-school club here at school.
We are collaborating with In2Sport who have worked with us for many years to be able to bring you this new exciting venture.
Hullavington School Breakfast Club
Breakfast club will start at 7.30am to 8:50am at a cost of £4.50 a session per child and will take place in `Little Hoots.' These sessions will be booked and paid for in advance via Parent Pay. The £4.50 includes breakfast and morning club activities. Heidi from In2Sport and Mrs Ellen Murrow will be leading this initiative. At 8.15 children who attend will then have a choice between `Wake and Shake' led by Heidi or Mindfulness club led by Miss Kate Trubee which will involve activities including reading and/or colouring.
Children who do not attend our breakfast club are still able to join the `Wake and Shake' club or the Mindfulness club at 8.15am for a charge of £2 a session. Entrance for these children will be through the front of the school via the Office at 8:15am and can be paid on the door.
After-School Care
Our after-school care will run from 3 o'clock until 6 o'clock at a cost of £12.50 a session per child. For children attending the after-school care they will be provided with a snack on arrival (e.g. biscuit / fruit) and a light tea (e.g. chicken wraps, sandwiches, pizza etc.) with access to plenty of drinking water. These sessions will be booked and paid for in advance via Parent Pay.
Teacher clubs will run as normal for all children. If children attending the after-school care would like to attend a teacher run club as well they can apply in the normal way. If successful, once the teacher run club finishes they will then transition to the after-school care. Teacher clubs run until 4 o-clock but do not run every night. Please Note - teachers give up their free time to run a club based on their interests and planned around when they are available. We are grateful for them for doing this. There will be no reduction of afterschool care fee if a child attends a teacher led club or if a child is collected before 6pm.
Booking and payment will be through our Parent Pay system. We will be able to take employer childcare vouchers as payment but this will need to be arranged separately with the school office. Booking in advance is strongly advise to secure a space although parents will be able to book ad-hoc too if we have space by phoning Mrs Chapman in the Office.
Full terms and conditions of the club can be downloaded below. By booking a place, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
After School Clubs
The school runs lots of different clubs which change each term - depending on the childrens and teachers interests. These will finish at 4.00pm. Look out for the letter which comes out at the beginning of each term which will explain which clubs we are running and which year groups each club is open to.
We also have a number of external providers offering clubs and these are also detailed in our clubs letter.

Update: The New York Times reports (via the tweet at the bottom of the post) that Thomas and Berger indeed played golf with Trump, along with fellow Tour pro Jim Herman and Thomas's father, Mike.
President Donald Trump has landed at his Mar-A-Lago resort in West Palm Beach for what the White House deemed a working vacation. But before the work begins, POTUS set out to play a round Saturday at nearby Trump International Golf Club. The course's Instagram account also reported Saturday that warming up on the scene were two of the biggest young stars on the PGA Tour: Justin Thomas and Daniel Berger.
Here's the post:
It's not yet confirmed that the pros teed up with POTUS, but it seems like a safe bet. Trump is no stranger to sharing the links with Tour stars. Pool reports and other outlets report that Trump has spent more than 100 days at one of his properties, and 84 at one of his golf courses, since taking office. Earlier this month, Trump played golf with Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson and Brad Faxon, which fueled rumors that Tiger was hitting it as far as DJ. (It turned out the gossip wasn't all that exaggerated.)
Trump played golf today at his club in West Palm Beach with "friends and pro golfers" Justin Thomas, Jim Herman, Daniel Berger and Thomas' father, according to the White House. The president has no public events scheduled for the rest of today.

When it comes to saunas, safety first. Here are the 9 rules of sauna safety
After a devastating end to the 2010 World Sauna Championships in Heinola, Finland, when finalist Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy from Russia died after being inside a blistering hot sauna for 6 minutes, the spotlight fell on sauna safety. How much is too much, and when is it not safe?
Some like it hot
While most people think (my fiancé included) that the hotter the better, in fact, extreme temperatures are dangerous if not used with caution. During the championships, for example, temperatures inside the wooden sauna were said to exceed a scorching 110C (230F). The contest, which had run annually since 1999, will not be held again.
That said, there are reasons that many people turn to the sauna in the name of wellness, and the tradition of sweating has been around for centuries.
The benefits of the sauna
Sweating helps eliminate toxins from the body. Heating the body's tissues helps the body heal, much as a fever is the body's own way of battling viruses. Saunas also improve blood circulation and relieve muscle and joint pain.
The 9 rules of sauna safety
1) Don't stay in too long. 15 to 20 minutes at a time is generally considered the max, though other proponents say up to 30 minutes. The length of time the body can tolerate will vary from person to person. If you are sensitive to heat, start off with a short stay.
2) Rest for at least ten minutes afterward. Let your body recuperate.
3) Rehydrate. Drink plenty of water before and after. You may want to eat something salty afterward if you've sweat a lot.
4) Consider the Buddy System. Going into the sauna with a friend or family member isn't a bad idea so that if problems do occur, someone has your back. Besides, a sauna is a social affair.
5) Cool down – there is a long Finnish tradition of going straight from the sauna into the snow. For a less extreme way to cool your body down, take a cold shower. Bonus: this also removes any impurities that your body has eliminated and prevents their reabsorption.
6) The heat of a sauna makes the heart work harder. Avoid the sauna if you have heart problems.
7) Never drink alcohol in the sauna and don't go in right after a large meal or strenuous exercise.
8) Know that saunas can burn – too much time in the sauna at a too high temperature can lead to blistering. If your skin starts to sting, get out. The average sauna temperature is about 85C though it can range anywhere between 60C and 110C.
9) If you start to feel dizzy, nauseous or have a headache, leave immediately – there is no point in taxing the body to extremes – especially not in the name of wellness. Moderation is key.

"My thirst and hunger do not diminish after I have received Him in the Blessed Sacrament, but rather, increase steadily. Oh, how sweet was the conversation I held with Paradise this morning. The Heart of Jesus and my own, if you will pardon my expression, fused. They were no longer two hearts beating, but only one. My heart disappeared as if it were a drop in the ocean." (St. Padre Pio)
If we have a hunger for holiness, then we should have a hunger for the Eucharist. For if we truly believe that Christ is present Body, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament, what would keep us away? Who else can we receive such nourishment from, such life?
If we can "see" Jesus hidden in bread and wine, if we can have the faith to trust that our God comes to us in this way, then surely we will see Him in our sisters and brothers; surely we will have encounters with Christ everywhere and every moment. Padre Pio also said: "Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart."
In this holy season of Christmas, let us hunger for Christ and not for the things of this earth. Come to Mass, and have your own sweet conversation with Paradise!
St. Padre Pio, pray for us!
