Civil rights charges will not be filed against a white Tupelo Police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man last year. As MPB's Mark Rigsby reports, the attorney representing the family of the victim says the multi-million dollar civil suit against the city is moving forward.
Attorney Carlos Moore says the family of Ronnie Shumpert is disappointed the U.S. Justice Department decided not to file federal charges against Tupelo Police Officer Tyler Cook.
"We believe that a blind man could've seen that this was excessive force."
In June 2016, Shumpert ran from a traffic stop. There was a foot chase. Shumpert hid under a house.
A police dog was unleashed and bit Shumpert. There was an altercation between Shumpert and Officer Cook. The officer drew his weapon and fired four times.
"Tyler Cook made himself judge, jury, and executioner. That is unacceptable."
Moore says he deposed Cook for the $35 million wrongful death civil lawsuit the filed on behalf of the family against the city of Tupelo. He says Cook and the Shumpert family were in the room during a tense, and sometimes awkward, eight hour deposition. He says he's found many inconsistencies in the case.
"We believe there's a lie somewhere. We're going to make sure the lie of lies are manifest at the trial."
"Did he offer and apology?"
"No, he did not to my recollection."
A Lee County grand jury did not indict Officer Cook for the incident. The city of Tupelo says federal and state authorities not finding enough evidence to prosecute the officer speaks for itself. The city says it will not comment further because of the civil lawsuit. The civil trial is scheduled in federal court in December.

No matter your starting point, never over look the basics. Keep it simple and stay consistent.
Burpees. I know most people hate them as they are a massive challenge for the cardiovascular system and all the major muscle groups but they are so effective as a full-body integrated movement.
Bootcamp, it is a combination of different exercises that are performed in various different ways. It can be just as effective using body weight training or using different equipment and agility rigs
You get the benefits of muscle building and fat loss together.
One of the major benefits of bootcamp is the enjoyment of exercising with friends. It is a group exercise activity, and the camaraderie is amazing.
High intensity training to get great results, using a variety of equipment, under the instruction of your Boot Camp leader!View more classes

Dentists serving Stratford, Trumbull & Bridgeport CT
Dental Implants are a great alternative to the traditional bridges or dentures when replacing missing teeth. Unlike bridge or dentures which can affect the adjacent teeth over time, teeth implants are freestanding and so may not lead to problems with your other teeth.
If you have one or more teeth that are missing and are looking to replace them with implants your dentist will evaluate if you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure. He/She will look at the overall condition of your other teeth and gums, your oral hygiene, your health and any medical conditions or medications you take. They will also check the ability of your jaw to support an implant. If your bone is not thick enough, a bone graft may be recommended prior to having the implant(s).
Once it is determined you are a good candidate for implants the process can begin. An oral surgeon, periodontist or general dentist will place the implant body via a minor surgical procedure. The body resembles a small post and it is below your gums. Following the placement, the site needs to heal for approximately 4-6 months. During this time you will not be able to see the implant. Once it is healed a crown may be attached the implant with a screw or cement by your dentist. It may seem like a long time before you have a finished product but the benefits and esthetics far outweigh the length of treatment for most patients.
If you need dental implants or are uncertain but know you want to improve your appearance simply give us a call (203) 377-9300 or send us a message and we will be happy to help.
Sorry. No data so far.

THE PREGNANT girlfriend of missing RAF airman Corrie McKeague has shared a haunting, intimate selfie of the couple together in bed – captioned "My World".
April Oliver changed her Facebook profile image last weekend showing the pair pouting at each other while appearing to be topless in bed.
She also changed her cover photo of what is believed to be her cradling a dog which has its paw placed on her belly.
The 21-year-old personal trainer found out she was expecting just two weeks after the the 23-year-old went missing in September last year.
The couple met on a dating site around five months before the RAF gunner went missing six months ago.
Since announcing her pregnancy, April has kept relatively quiet but last night she shared the heartbreaking photograph captioned "My World" – alongside a red love heart.
Specialist search times are currently searching the landfill in Milton, Cambridge where Corrie's body is thought to be found – following a bin lorry blunder which was linked to the case.
It is now feared that Corrie, from Dunfermline, Fife, may have somehow ended up in the bin night after a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk before being transported to a waste tip.
Soon after he was reported missing, incorrect rubbish truck measurements recorded the vehicle as 24lbs – ruling out that Corrie could not have been in there.
The lead also coincides with the fact that Corrie's mobile phone was last tracked taking the same route.
But last month it was revealed the lorry actually weighed 180lbs – a difference of around 14 stone – sparking the dump search.
Around eight officers have been carefully searching through 60 tonnes of rubbish each day since the search began four weeks ago.
Last month a 26-year-old man who worked for Biffa was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice but was later released and faces no further action.

Though the 'Winchester' movie might be pretty scary, the true story is quite weird itself.
Fans of supernatural horror movies rejoice. The premiere of Winchester is fast approaching on Feb. 2. Starring Helen Mirren, the movie tells the story (sorta) of the Sarah Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, Calif.
Based solely upon its exterior, the house looks like any other sprawling northern California mansion. Its sea of red roofs and beautiful gardens may even appear inviting. Yet take a tour through the nearly 160 rooms and you'll see why the Winchester Mystery House, constructed over 38 years by Sarah Winchester, is one of the creepiest homes the world.
Born around 1840, Sarah Winchester grew up in a world of privilege. She spoke four languages, attended the best schools around, married well, and eventually gave birth to a daughter, Annie. However, tragedy struck in her late twenties when Annie died, followed by the death of Sarah's husband William more than a decade later.
As the story goes, Sarah Winchester sought advice from a spiritualist who warned that spirits would haunt her unless she built a home for them. He assured her that as long as she kept building, she would be safe. Luckily for Sarah, she had plenty of resources to take on the monumental project since she received a hefty inheritance following her husband William's death in 1881. That would be William Wirt Winchester of Winchester firearms. Upon his death, Sarah was bequeathed a 50% stake in the company, $20 million dollars ($507 million today) and a $1,000 daily allowance ($25,000 today).
Lonely and fueled by grief and fear, Sarah left Connecticut in 1884 and ended up in San Jose, where she began building the Winchester Mystery House and supposedly drew ideas for its construction after a daily séance in which she consulted "good spirits."
Sarah was known for her capricious nature, which resulted in haphazard remodeling, building over old rooms, or sealing off unused spaces. For instance, the Winchester Mystery House contains multiple stairways that end abruptly and lead nowhere.
Sarah was known to be very generous, paying her builders well and donating to local charities and organizations.
She was also very peculiar.
Winchester spent much time in seclusion and workers frequently noticed her acting odd, which they blamed on her fear of spirits. According to some, she slept in different rooms each night to confuse the ghosts, and often meandered through the house using secret passageways so that no spirit could follow.
While known best for its spooky history and baffling construction, the Winchester Mystery House is also known for its beautiful parquet floors constructed from mahogany, rosewood, oak, and other woods. Beautiful art glass windows, incredible ballrooms, and the best furnishings money could buy all contributed to the house's stunning reputation.
In September of 1922, Sarah Winchester died, leaving behind a house comprised of a staggering 160 rooms, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, and 2,000 doors. Since her death, little has been uncovered about Sarah Winchester and the reasoning behind her obsession with building the Winchester Mystery House. She gave no interviews, left behind no journals, and had no family willing to speak about her.

yes, well the reason for the question was that i did not want to use iodine, so that was never up for debate. simply a question about acid being left in the lines. turns out that leaving acid 6 in the lines for 4-5 days is not a problem at all. rinsed right out, clean as a whistle.

Ok to pack draft lines with acid 6?Long story short we seem to be out of regular sanitizer and only have iodine sanitizer. I clean the lines with PBW then rinsed and then ran acid number six before I realized we only have iodine sanitizer. Don'tWant to do that. I should be OK to leave acid six in the lines for a while right?...
interesting. please report back. my takeaway is still that this stuff needs some serious mixing to get full usage/disbursement and it'd be interesting to see if that can be achieved at such a small volume (i.e. less dilution, higher concentration vs kettle)

arent you concerned about the dilution effect of adding it as a tea instead of directly to wort?

AbstractThe 75-μm particle size is used to discriminate between fine and coarse grains. Further analysis of fine grains is typically based on the plasticity chart. Whereas pore-fluid-chemistry-dependent soil response is a salient and distinguishing characteristic of fine grains, pore-fluid chemistry is not addressed in current classification systems. Liquid limits obtained with electrically contrasting pore fluids (deionized water, 2-M NaCl brine, and kerosene) are combined to define the soil "electrical sensitivity." Liquid limit and electrical sensitivity can be effectively used to classify fine grains according to their fluid-soil response into no-, low-, intermediate-, or high-plasticity fine grains of low, intermediate, or high electrical sensitivity. The proposed methodology benefits from the accumulated experience with liquid limit in the field and addresses the needs of a broader range of geotechnical engineering problems. © ASCE.

Sarasota Lionfish Derby at Mote
The second annual Sarasota Lionfish Derby is an exciting and environmentally beneficial event where SCUBA divers and snorkelers will compete to collect as many lionfish as possible in an effort to control the spread of this invasive species.
Teams will capture lionfish July 10 through July 12, and the public is invited to learn about lionfish, discover how these delicious fish taste and hear Derby results at Sunday's lionfish weigh-in, scoring and awards event. The Derby will take place from July 10 – 12, with the captains' meeting on July 10 and lionfish hunting by registered participants July 10 and 11 in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Tournament boundaries are from Collier to Escambia County. Teams will net or spear lionfish while SCUBA diving or snorkeling and bring back their catch for the public lionfish weigh-in on July 12.
The weigh-in and scoring starts 10 a.m. Sunday, July 12, at the Sarasota Outboard Club at 1604 Ken Thompson Parkway, Sarasota, FL 34236 (next to Mote). From 11 a.m. to about 1 p.m. that day, local chefs will prepare varied lionfish dishes with the fish caught during the Derby and fish provided by ZooKeeper. Everyone can sample the lionfish for free, including Derby volunteers, organizers, participants and the public.
The awards ceremony will start at about 1 p.m. July 12. Cash prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place winners who catch the most lionfish, the largest lionfish and the smallest lionfish.

One thing that distinguished the Lullaboo Nursery and Childcare Center from the start was that parents could pick up their children at 6:30 in the evening—a full half hour after other day care centers in the greater Toronto area had locked their doors. It may sound like a small detail if you're not a working parent, but for working parents it's a huge advantage, and Lullaboo's initial center was quickly filled to capacity.
Since Lullaboo opened its first center in 2008 it has continued to expand—and a total of 11 facilities will be operational by the end of 2019. Early on, the IT team supporting Lullaboo connected all the classrooms and business offices within the organization using a VoIP phone system they obtained through a local reseller. But after a larger firm acquired the local reseller, the stellar customer service that Lullaboo was used to disappeared. Suddenly it was taking months just to deliver new phone sets to Lullaboo's new facilities. Lullaboo's IT team was having to take on more service tasks themselves—and discovering that the age of that VoIP system was making it very difficult to get anything done in a timely manner.
Lullaboo began a search for a better service provider and a modern unified communications platform. Selecting the service provider was tricky because there were several that looked good. Selecting the communications solution for Lullaboo's expanding needs was much easier, as nearly every reseller spontaneously suggested the same one: Powered by Avaya IP Office.

Louisiana Story (1946)
"This is no place for you anymore!"
Response to Peary's Review:
As is now well-known, Flaherty's "documentaries" were actually highly constructed narratives featuring carefully selected actors, thus rendering his fame as a forerunner of ethnographic filmmaking suspect at best. As I discussed in my review of Flahery's breakthrough film, Nanook of the North (1922), such an issue remains much less problematic when the material itself is intrinsically fascinating: in Nanook…, for instance, one can easily understand why he may have "needed" to reconstruct key scenes, given the severe constraints of life in such harsh circumstances. In Louisiana Story, however, such a "sin" is less pardonable — particularly given that we actually learn very little about life for this Cajun backwoods family. As DVD Savant notes in his review of the film, "Pa is never seen doing anything more vocational than handling a small trap, and the son has nothing to do but amuse himself exploring the dangerous bayou". Louisiana Story is a visually gorgeous but otherwise disappointing finale to Flaherty's career.

Not a must.
Rather in agreement with the assessment, which pretty much tells it like it is (particularly the comparison between this film and 'Nanook'). I will admit that the photography is occasionally quite effective but the film fights that at every turn and is basically a snooze-bag.

Welcome to Leonardo Wild's Home Page
I write fiction, non-fiction and screenplays
For those who want to be entertained, but also seek to dig deeper into the world we live in.
Ready for a shift in understanding?
Welcome to the world of paradigm shifts.
Welcome to my world!
A paradigm shift is something that allows us not only to see the cracks in the system, but actually come to realize that the core itself of the systems that make up our world are but an illusion.
Or perhaps not an illusion, but a lie.
A lie so great it stretches beyond our perceptive horizon.
A horizon that, paradoxically, lies within ourselves.
Paradigm shifts basically make us realize that a deeper truth exists, and sometimes this deeper truth unravels our current view of the world shaking us to the core.
At other times, the view of the world that has been put into question is of such magnitude and importance to us, as individuals and as a society, that the very fabric that holds us all together could be torn to shreds.
And the closer to home, the more it will hurt us to admit that what we thought was true—or perfectly logical—was never in fact so.
Or not for the reasons we believed in.
The paradigms that I question and will be questioning in my new series of thrillers—Paradigm Shift Thrillers—are huge. Some might be easy to accept, others though, will most likely be seen as mere fiction, a figment of my imagination, nothing to do with the world at large or each reader in particular … a view you might choose to have for your own emotional protection.
However, deep inside, we all know that something isn't right with the world.
What is it, though, exactly, that isn't right?
And how is it not right?
And what can be done about it?
The first step is to come to recognize the fact that certain beliefs—certain aspects of what we see as being "true"— might actually have a completely different connotation if we shift our angle of perception.
If we engage in a paradigm shift.
This, sometimes, is enough to take us down a rabbit hole from which we will return changed, perhaps even scarred, but hopefully much wiser.
I hope you enjoy the ride, for once you face the biggest lies of all, once you're willing to take the proverbial bull by the horns and question what you might perhaps hold most dear, there is little to lose and a lot to gain.
You can also choose to read these novels as mere fiction.
Which they are.
Sort of.
The Galapagos Agenda
MAX VILLALOBOS is the gifted son of a corporate tycoon. His dream is to make it on his own, even if that means going against his powerful father who has far different plans when it comes to Max's future.
In order to prove who's "boss" the infamous billionaire, Roy Villalobos, stages Max's own kidnapping using their personal Chief of Security. The plan backfires with a near escape, and an explosion that kills Max's girlfriend, turning the tables on Max's original plans.
With the cloud of murder hanging over his head, Roy Villalobos offers to sort things out for Max, suggesting his son disappear until the air clears. But when Max arrives aboard the Galapagos Treasure on his way to the Cook Islands, he discovers that not only has he become Suspect #1, but his murdered beloved just happened to be an undercover MI-5 agent on a mission to infiltrate the family and investigate Max's father for multiple crimes.
Yet the biggest crime of all is about to occur…

In the digital age, most of us don't have to think about changing our clocks for Daylight Saving Time anymore; our smart phones do it for us. Sure, we still have to manually change the ones on our microwaves or in our cars. But after pushing a few buttons, it's done.
But have you ever wondered who changes the hands in a clock tower? Who moves those gigantic hands? At South Congregational Church in Centerville, that would be one Howard Taubner. A member of the church's building and grounds committee, Taubner has been the "keeper of the clock" since 2008.
I decided to seek him out.
Having grown up in Centerville, I was honored when Taubner invited me to climb the clock tower with him on the eve of Daylight Saving Time. I'd get to see how it's done!
On the night of March 10, I followed him through the church's sanctuary to a door which opens up to a flight of stairs that simply looked like attic stairs.
"Be careful," he said as he started to climb, flashlight in hand.
As we made our ascent -- me close behind and him checking to make sure of my footing -- Taubner explained a little about the clock mechanism we were about to see. The Howard Clock (no relation to Taubner), made by E. Howard & Co. in Boston, was assembled in the 1870s.
"It was originally driven by weights that had to be cranked up each week," he said. "The church acquired it from West Roxbury in 1979. By that time, it had already been electrified -- an electric motor powers the gears."
We reached a platform, climbed up a ladder, then another, Taubner stopping to shine the flashlight on me so I could see in the dark. As I made my way up into the top of the belfry -- inside, that is, no visibility to the outside, pretty much like an attic, the only light from our flashlight -- standing before me on four legs was the clock mechanism, keeper of time for almost 150 years. It's embellished with a plaque that reads "E. Howard & Co. Boston, Mass."
Comprised of too many gears for me to get my bearings about, the mechanism has three long "drive shafts" that emanate from its top, each shaft stretching to one of the clock's three exterior faces.
"This motor powers all three clock faces," Taubner explained. We would have been up there for hours if he were to try and explain to me the exact workings of each gear, each intricate detail of the clock; but he explained to me the one thing I had been after -- how he moves time.
His explanation was pretty straightforward. "There's a clutch you disengage so you don't have to stop the mechanism," he said. "But that stops the driving of the gears to the clock faces. Here, hold the flashlight and I'll show you."
I shone the light while Taubner stopped time. He pulled out a metal pin from one spot and stuck it in another spot. "Then, you turn the hands (inside, on the mechanism) and they'll change on all three faces because they're all interconnected," he said.
The church bell sounded, which Taubner said happens every time the hands get changed. So, we really did ring in Daylight Saving Time.
"So it's already done? We changed the time?" I asked, excitedly, wondering if anyone had been driving down Main Street at that exact moment to see the hands jump ahead.
"Yup, that was it," Taubner said with a laugh.

I've had five days cold turkey from the internet. Man, it takes an enforced break just to make you realise how much time you waste on the internet! So, what have I been doing during this hiatus? Watching shitloads of movies and stockpiling reviews so that content on Agitation could resume forthwith? Er, no. I've mainly been reading. And sketching out a structure for what might become a novel.
But I have no excuses now. The next installment in the Bond-a-thon beckons, so look out, in the next couple of days, for a review of 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. Or some pictures of a starlet whose birthday it happens to be. The Agitation of the Mind: keeping it classy since 2007.

text: Link to new RP (Pokemon Warcraft 2): https://pokecharms.com/threads/pokemon-warcraft-2-the-elemental-jewels.21759/ Link to discussion for Pokemon Warcraft 2: https://pokecharms.com/threads/pokemon-warcraft-discussion.21301/page-72#post-816394 Here is the character sheet! Link to old RP: https://pokecharms.com/threads/pokemon-warcraft.21302/ This is the first RP I'm going to create so I'll do my best to make it as interesting as possible. If you have any questions regarding the rules to RP properly, here is the link to the rules: https://pokecharms.com/threads/pokemon-role-play-rules.9451/ Now for this RP it might be a little complicated to explain how this world works, but I will try and make it simple. Any questions and comments are more then welcome, anything to improve the experience. This takes place in a world where you mix Pokemon and your typical mmorpg games (Ex: World of Warcraft, Ragnarok, League of Legends, etc...). Therefore, besides having your Pokemon, your character will also have abilities. They can be mages, knights, ninjas, priest, hunters and other things. We also need to include detailed information about what your character can do and what they cannot do. For example, a mage can make magic spells which control water or fire, but they cannot be expert sword fighters. In addition, your character must focus on one element, which are fire, water, earth, wind, dark and light. Of course you can have them extend to similar things like water to ice. Regarding Pokemon, in this world Pokeballs have not been invented yet, therefore your character can only take one or two Pokemon at most. This is so the characters don't become over powerfull. Also, technology is going to be very limited. Which means no Pokemon centers, no PC, no pokedex, no light sabers, etc... You can use middle ages techonolgy. Your characters will need weapons and armor, so please get creative with those, just do not include a jetpack or a teleportation device. Keep it in the Medieval times. One more thing, there are guilds within this world. You could either join the one my character is in, make one with other characters or join an existing one. I know this might be a lot, but please ask any questions so I can fix the post to make it easier. Now here is my character (Feel free to use the format for your own.): Name: Azumi Towers Gender: Female Age: 21 Guild: Storm Breakers (Leader) The guild is focused on making errands for the army or the grand court. Usually things they cannot handle. Class/Job: Sword Master Element: Water- Ice Height: 5"2 Weight: 116 lbs Hair: Light Blonde Eyes: Dark Blue Personality: Strongly believes in justice and the protection of the weak. Very educated and respectful to others. She prefers a book over any activity that includes socializing. She is confident in her abilities and believes in strategy rather than brute force. Skills: Great swimmer due to her water element. Is able to handle big swords or use twin swords. She can freeze water at will and use it to combine with her weapons or armor. Her abilities rely on her speed and strength. Strong and quick attacks are her specialty. She can use her water to heal superficial wounds. Weakness: Needs to be in a hand to hand combat, she deals poorly against opponents who are far away. Pokemon: Gardevoir (Nana) Ability- Trace Personality- Innocent and is always amazed by the world. Very educated and distrustful strangers. Lucario (Anakin) Ability- Inner Focus Personality- Loyal to his trainer. Always on guard and ready to fight. Does not work well with others unless it's with Nana. Background: Azumi is the daughter of a great general. Her father achieved many goals for their Kingdom and the same is expected of her. She was trained since she could walk and became top of her class. She now turned 21 and has opened her own guild.

HOUSTON, 8th May 2016 (WAM) – The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Group Companies have showcased their full line of business and services and explored new partnerships at the Offshore Technology Conference and Exhibition (OTC 2016), held in Houston, (TEXAS), USA, on 2-5 May 2016.
The Group has participated for the ninth year in this premier global event with a delegation comprising CEOs and senior executives.
Participating under the theme "Driving a Sustainable Future through People & Innovation", ADNOC & Group Companies made their presence felt in the exhibition with a state-of-the-art stand that was designed to showcase ADNOC's new vision of the future and depict UAE's culture and heritage.
The Group's environmentally-friendly initiatives as well as their long–term expansion projects were highlighted during the show through interactive audio-visual displays and technical presentations.
As part of its continued efforts to establish alliances and partnerships, ADNOC hosted on the second day of the event a dinner reception for senior oil and gas sector executives, government officials, and diplomats. The reception offered ADNOC delegates with the opportunity to network with senior US executives and top level executives of leading energy companies.
The delegation took part in the conference and other OTC sideline events. ADNOC delegates presented technical papers at the OTC conference. A paper, titled: "Major Advancement in Pipeline Integrity Management through an Integrated Quantitative Risk Assessment Approach highlighted the various threats of different nature posed to pipelines.
The presentation introduced a standardized approach aiming to overcome challenge of how to integrate the risks of different threats into an overall risk level for the entire pipeline system.
Another paper highlighted Best Practices for HP/HT Pipelines Lateral Buckling Design in Shallow Water.
ADNOC Group's green efforts in such areas as Sustainable Energy Systems, Carbon Capture, Green Fuels, Carbon Footprint Reduction, Emission and Flaring Reduction were highlighted at the show.
One of the top initiatives presented to ADNOC stand visitors was the Carbon Capture project implemented recently in partnership with Masdar. Introduced in a bid to reduce carbon footprint and enhance oil and gas production, ADNOC's new initiative sets the pace for other hydrocarbon-rich nations to adopt similar technologies to reduce their carbon emissions.
Located in Abu Dhabi, the joint venture's first Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) project consists of three core components. First, CO2 is captured onsite at Emirates Steel. Second, the CO2 is compressed and transported along the 50-km pipeline to oil fields operated by ADNOC. Third, ADNOC injects the CO2 into oil fields to enhance oil recovery, while storing the injected CO2 underground. The project will sequester up to 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Completion is set for 2016. This pilot project will create a benchmark for the technical and commercial delivery of CO2.
The joint venture is the first phase of an industrial-scale CCUS network planned as part of Abu Dhabi's commitment to decarbonise its economy and create a low-carbon power generation industry.
As a clean energy advocate, ADNOC is constantly searching for opportunities to reduce the environmental footprint of its existing and future projects. In 2009, ADNOC became the first national oil company in the region to pilot CO2 injection in collaboration with Masdar.
Breaking the visitor turnout record, ADNOC stand attracted a large number of visitors during the four days of the event. The design of the stand, coupled with the hospitality offered turned the booth into a welcoming place for exhibition visitors who included American, Arab and foreign delegates, dignitaries, ministers, diplomats and senior executives and industry professionals.
In the closing day of the event, a high-level Egyptian delegation led by Tarek El Molla, Minister of Petroleum & Mineral Resources visited ADNOC stand.
Leading industry executives who visited ADNOC stand discussed with ADNOC delegates the current global market situation and the challenges facing the energy industry. They also explored ideas of creating new business partnerships and ways of boosting collaboration, sharing best practices and exchanging expertise.
During the show, the ADNOC delegation promoted the UAE and Abu Dhabi as a global hub for the oil and gas sectors. Some participating companies showed interest in participating in the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016), scheduled to be held on November 7-10.

Chapter 424: Harvest!
Translated by: Hypersheep325
Edited by: Michyrr
"Congratulations to user! For participating in the War of the Princes, the True Dragon Plan, and changing Fifth Prince Li Heng's fate, you are awarded 15 Destiny Energy!"
As Wang Chong walked out of the Imperial Palace in the darkness and the large gate shut behind him, he heard a voice ringing out in his mind. Along with this voice, he felt a gentle breeze, and an invisible energy emerged from the depths of space-time and into Wang Chong's body.
Wang Chong felt a warmth in his body.
"I've finally succeeded!"
Wang Chong's lips curved into a faint smile. He knew that his final letter had proved effective.
When dealing with the Tibetan experts in the practice ground, Wang Chong had already obtained 15 points of Destiny Energy. Now, with his harvests from Consort Taizhen, Wang Chong had gained 30 points of Destiny Energy in just one day.
At present, Wang Chong had currently accumulated 109 points of Destiny Energy!
And if one counted the Destiny Energy he had used to buy the Panther Bone, the Gold Organs, and the Blood Reformation for Li Heng, as well as the Destiny Energy consumed by the World Constraints, Wang Chong had so far obtained more than 200 points of Destiny Energy.
And to Wang Chong, that he had obtained 200 points of Destiny Energy at this point had a completely new meaning…
"…I can finally exchange for Origin Energy items!"
Wang Chong walked the stone-paved street and gave a long sigh of relief.
The rewards offered by the Stone of Destiny could be divided into 'Mind', 'Body', 'Energy', 'Techniques', and 'Power'. However, because he had not accumulated enough Destiny Energy, Wang Chong had only been able to exchange for rewards of the 'Body' category, like the Panther Bone, Gold Organs, and Blood Reformation.
If he wanted to increase his Origin Energy, Wang Chong could only buy the medicines of the imperial household. But things were different now that he had unlocked the 'Origin Energy' category.
Wang Chong could now use Destiny Energy to buy Origin Energy items that could increase his strength.
Thus, Wang Chong's strength would increase at an even faster rate.
"…Young Master!"
Footsteps came from the darkness, breaking Wang Chong's train of thought. Old Eagle, with a large bird on his shoulder, was striding toward him.
"How was it?"
"It's fine."
Wang Chong smiled and signaled that everything had gone well. With things taken care of on Consort Taizhen's side, the Fifth Prince would be able to sleep soundly.
Although he couldn't be said to be absolutely safe, with Consort Taizhen's protection, at least everyone would have to think twice before they acted. Even the First Prince and the Third Prince would not dare to act recklessly.
"Come, let's return to the training camp!"
Taking the reins from the Wang Clan guards following Old Eagle, Wang Chong mounted his horse. Everything was on the right path, and the Fifth Prince was also on his own path to fight for the throne. It was now time for his own plans.
With the Deflecting Blade Manor at its current level of development, it was time to proceed to the next phase of his plan.
"…But what I wonder how Dusong Mangpoje is doing?"
As he gazed at the dark sky and the numerous lights of the city, Wang Chong recalled that Ü-Tsang Great General who had traveled to the Great Tang incognito, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This famous Ü-Tsang Great General was indubitably an existence that was a great thorn in the Great Tang's side. He was not only extremely strong, but also equally intelligent. Thus, even someone like Geshu Han, one of the Great Tang's heroes who guarded the Ü-Tsang border, was completely incapable of capturing him.
However, with his identity being exposed in the capital, he was probably not about to encounter any good fortune.
"Run, run! Let me see how lucky you are!"
Wang Chong smiled and then urged his horse in the direction of Deflecting Blade Manor.
Dust spluttered under the hard hooves of a horse. While Wang Chong was riding toward Deflecting Blade Manor, in the darkness sixty-some li from the Great Tang capital, a squadron of Ü-Tsang cavalry were galloping toward the Tibetan Plateau.
After Wang Chong exposed Dusong Mangpoje's identity on the practice ground, the Ü-Tsang delegation did not even return to their hostel. They immediately left the capital of the Great Tang, fleeing under the starry night toward the Tibetan Plateau.
"Faster! The Great Tang is no longer safe. Only once we return to the plateau of the empire will we be completely out of danger!"
On his horse, Dusong Mangpoje constantly urged his soldiers on, his expression grave.
An Ü-Tsang officer raised his head and asked, "Great General, might we be overthinking things? Perhaps the Great Tang has no intention of dealing with us? After all, we're already sixty-some li from the Great Tang capital and nothing has happened!" A tiny sliver of hope was audible in his words.
Ever since they had left the practice ground, Great General Dusong Mangpoje had been urging them on. They were not doubting the Great General's judgment and reputation. It was just that they had not encountered anything on their entire journey.
Other than their own doubts, the only thing by their side was the wind howling through the mountains.
It seemed that they were doing nothing but frightening themselves.
"In the past that would be the case, but now is completely different! I also hope that I'm being paranoid, but that's impossible," Dusong Mangpoje sternly replied. Ever since he had left the capital, someone had been locked onto him from a distance, constantly observing and trailing him.
This feeling had disappeared a moment ago, but Dusong Mangpoje did not dare get careless.
'A centipede can die, but it will never fall over.' The current Great Tang was far from that mighty hegemon that valiantly swept through the world. Yet the elites and higher-ups of this empire still contained extremely formidable figures that could not be underestimated.
That Central Plains youngster in the square was the best example!
Dusong Mangpoje had wanted to kill him many times, but he had ultimately managed to suppress the desire.
Although he wasn't clear on the youngster's exact background, it was certainly no ordinary one. That youngster had deliberately attempted to provoke him several times into striking. Dusong Mangpoje had understood what that youngster wanted. If he killed the youth, the Great Tang Empire would have an excuse to attack him in the capital.
If such a thing really did occur, then it would be just like the youth said. He would not have made it out of the capital alive.
The youth's predictions had been right on the mark.
"…I had believed that the Central Plains were waning when I made this trip to the Great Tang. I didn't expect to meet such an evil young man on the last day. The lot of the Central Plains is still not completely exhausted!"
Dusong Mangpoje mentally sighed.
The First Prince and the elite horsemen under him served as a cover, allowing him to see the Sage Emperor with his own eyes. This had been a top-secret mission that nobody except the members of their group knew of. Not even the ministers of the Great Tang had been able to see through it.
Dusong Mangpoje had originally believed that nobody would see through it, not even after they finished the First Prince's trick and returned to the plateau of the empire. Unexpectedly, that young man had seen through it, and then he had killed that Tibetan horseman without hesitation, damaging the imposing demeanor of the Tibetan party.
Of course, it would have been fine if that was all. After all, it was just a trick the First Prince had thought up on the spur of the moment, just a game.
But then that youngster had exposed his identity. This was what had truly shocked Dusong Mangpoje.
If this youth had been some famous figure of the Great Tang, he would have been able to accept it. But the youth's age meant that it was impossible for the youth to have ever seen him, much less recognize him.
Just like that, the identity that he had kept intact for three months had been exposed, truly leaving Dusong Mangpoje unprepared.
"Great General, I'm sorry. It's all because I've dragged you down!"
At this moment, a voice came from his side. Dusong Mangpoje turned his head and saw a 'Tibetan horseman' looking at him with an expression of shame.
"There's no need for First Prince's apology. I was the one who decided on this venture. Coming to the Great Tang has been a dream of mine for many years and has nothing to do with you. There's no need for First Prince to criticize yourself."
Dusong Mangpoje grinned and waved his hand.
This ashamed 'Tibetan horseman' was naturally the actual Ü-Tsang First Prince. Tibetans were a dauntless and fierce people who worshipped strength.
The Ü-Tsang First Prince was a prime example of this, and he had a proud personality that did not make it easy for him to apologize to others. However, the First Prince also knew that the gravity of the situation could not be underestimated.
If a Great General of the Great Tang Empire infiltrated Ü-Tsang alone, then the Tibetans would assuredly put all their strength into making sure they stayed.
This was obviously the situation facing Dusong Mangpoje.
Although the others were doubtful, not daring to be sure that someone was truly after them, the Ü-Tsang First Prince knew that the elites of the Great Tang would not let this chance pass by.
If he hadn't been so proud and taken with his intelligence, stirring up that practice ground incident, the situation would have never reached this point.
It could be said that if anything bad happened to Dusong Mangpoje, it was all his fault.
Ü-Tsang had millions of brave soldiers, but it only had a scant few Great Generals. If Dusong Mangpoje were to encounter some mishap in the Great Tang, it would be a massive stain on this mission and deal a critical blow to his chances of becoming the next Tsenpo.
This was the reason for the First Prince's concern.
"Listen to what I have to say. As long as we are still within the confines of the Great Tang capital, Great Tang won't dare to touch us. But once we are a certain distance from the capital, everything changes. If something happens to us, the Great Tang will easily push the responsibility to someone else.
"Moreover, to deal with me, they will definitely attack the rest of you as well. Only this way can they make the incident look convincing. This is why I've escorted you out of the capital. In a little while, none of you should take the main road. Once we leave this place, split up into groups and choose a direction to escape. Do not look back until you return to the Tibetan Plateau," Dusong Mangpoje ordered, his voice carrying an ominous tone.
"General, you're not coming with us?"
An Ü-Tsang officer suddenly sensed something and raised his head.
"Of course he can't go with you!"
It wasn't Dusong Mangpoje replying. A voice had suddenly spoken, frightening the Tibetans.
"Who, who is it?"
"Who's lurking around out there! Get out here!"
As some of their comrades shouted, a few of the horsemen seemed to sense something and turned around as one, their bright scimitars leaving their sheaths to aim at the direction the voice had come from.
A breeze blew past. An aloof figure dressed in snow-white clothes emerged in front of the party. With his silk belt drifting in the wind and his hands clasped behind him, he slowly walked out of the rustling forest.
His thin body exuded an energy as mighty as the mountains and seas.
A silver boot lightly touched the ground, and the world quaked. The energy of the forest in a several-thousand-zhang radius suddenly transformed. All the grass, trees, the branches and leaves began to emit a sharp energy, all of it aimed at Dusong Mangpoje's party on the main road.
The warhorses whinnied, and in an instant, all these fine steeds trained on the Tibetan Plateau reared up, their eyes open and their manes bristling. It was as if they had sensed some terrible danger.

Today, I've got a review for you, combined with a nail art tutorial!
I got a image plate from Born Pretty Store recently, with some really nice patterns. I actually barely ever use image plates, as I only had ones with small images. That's why I really like the look of this one. It has large patterns that can easily be made into a full nail art! So I thought up a fun manicure with it, and got to work 🙂 Below the videos, you can find more about the image plate, and also a coupon code!
I've started out with a beautiful dark red colour, which is Merry Berry by China Glaze. Then (as soon as the two layers of Merry Berry had dried completely), I used the polish LuminICEnt by Color Club for the stamping part.
And then I suddenly remembered why exactly I've never tried very hard to think up some manicure ideas involving image plates… It never quite looks perfect without practice. And I simply find it easier to paint something freehanded.
The pattern with the stripes really doesn't look bad, though. I think that this image plate can be used to create really cool nail arts! It offers enough different patterns, and they're all very different from each other. Also, they're deep enough in the plate so that they could certainly get very neat and pretty results. You can find the image plate here.
Do you want to try this image plate too, or are you looking for other nail art supplies? Below, you can find a coupon code for 10% off an order at Born Pretty Store! Also, Born Pretty Store is already 4 years old! To celebrate that, they're having a nail art contest. Are you good at doing nail art? Then you can look here for more information 🙂

Urus Fakhruddin Shah Baba 2008
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1
As soon as the Urus of Makhdoom Shah Baba ends , the Urus of his devoted disciple and companion Fakhruddin Shah Baba begins also at Mahim.
Makdoom Shah Baba in his life time had bestowed a boon on Fakhruddin Shah Baba , that those who wanted to visit his tomb must pay respect first to Fakhruddin Shah Baba , so all the sandal processions that came to Makhdoom Shah Baba had to circumvent through this Shrine situated on the main heavy traffic road of Mahim.
Its a small Shrine , in cramped surroundings but highly respected by the locals of the area.Its all lit up for the Urus .
The Chancawalli Rafaees also make this place their next haunt , the Holy Fire or Dhuni is set up, and Handi and Marshad Baba hold court.
Sher Ali Baba is not around for this do.
Food is cooked on the Dhuni, supervised by Barsati or Maun Baba..
Tea Sufi style with lots of butter thrown is an appetiser to the rounds of chillum, heavily laden with Bombay Black hash.The burning down of Manala village does not affect the supply of this narcotic.Most of the affluent Bawas have connections with drug suppliers so you might get a taste of Afghani too, or Peshawari weeds..
I met a Naga Sadhu who is known as Langoti Baba, from Haryana , very highly educated and who is also a Sufi.. a rare heady combination..he is a mystic and stays at Haji Malang in the caves .
Farukh Baba and Don Jaun Baba with their good looks and full open hair are the most popular rafaees , none to beat them in swordmanship skills .
Shahenshah Baba too is a master craftsman at body piercing.
So today at about 6 pm I shall leave my shop to shoot the sandal.I shot it last year too, but had to abort it as I went into a trance known as Kaif..
Had to be revived when they splashed rose water on me and Shahenshah baba uttered some Koranic verses..
I than left for home.
As the lane this procession passes by to reach Makhdoom Shah Babas Shrine and back to its place of origin is badly lit the pictures are not too appealing either.

Black Friday is still more than five months away, but the summer version of that shopping free-for-all is fast approaching.
Since 2015, Amazon has held its Prime Day sale in early July. And while no official date has been announced for 2019 yet, it's about as sure a bet as you can make that we'll have one again this year. And if 2018 was any indication, it's going to be bigger than ever.
Prime Day 2019 has a lot to live up to. Last year's event set a new sales record for the company, with consumers purchasing over 100 million products. (Analysts estimated total sales topped $4 billion.) Sales, even when adjusted for the 36 hour period, surpassed Cyber Monday, Black Friday and 2017's Prime Day (which, itself, improved upon the 2016 event by 60%).
So what can we expect in 2019?
When is Prime Day 2019?
Right now, the exact date of this year's Prime Day is unannounced, but an email, leaked earlier this week, appeared to put the start date at July 15. Like last year, Prime Day 2019 appears to be a multi-day event, with deals running through July 17.
Amazon declined to comment on the start date for Prime Day 2019.
Are Prime Day deals better than Black Friday?
Actually, yes.
That's not true for all of the bargains, of course, but a 2018 price comparison study of the 2017 deals by BestBlackFriday.com found 76% of the deals on Prime Day were better than Black Friday. Roughly 70% of the 2018 deals were better than Black Friday prices.
What are the best Prime Day deals?
Amazon discounts a wide swath of items over the course of Prime Day, but the best deals are usually found on its own products. If you're thinking about buying a Kindle, Echo, Echo Dot, Fire TV, Ring Doorbell or Fire Tablet, try to hold off until mid-July.
You can also expect to find deals in Whole Foods stores. Last year, Prime members who spent $10 or more at the grocery store got a $10 Amazon Prime Day credit.
Is Amazon the only retailer offering deals on Prime Day?
While Prime Day is an Amazon-exclusive event, competitors are happy to ride the company's coattails with specials of their own, to lure in people who are already online and looking to spend money. Target, last year, said one of the days that were spanned by Prime Day was "the highest single day of traffic and sales of 2018" on its Website.
Why is Prime Day in July?
The dog days of summer generally aren't a busy time for retailers. Global payments provider Payoneer says retailers saw an average sales drop of 4% around July 2018.
Amazon decided to do something about that. And it worked better than the company could have hoped for, with sales increasing 30% on both Prime Day and the following month.

Marketers will play an increasing role in helping companies make internal mobile apps as easy and engaging to use as more customer-facing ones, according to a Canadian company that just signed a partnership deal with Apple.
Mirego, a Toronto-based firm that develops customized mobile apps for the likes of Bombardier and Yellow Pages Group, said it had been selected by the iPhone maker to be part of its Apple Mobility Partner program. Last year the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is working with about 40 companies to try and gain a bigger foothold in corporate environments, which has traditionally been dominated by BlackBerry (and more recently, Google's Android-powered devices).
Albert Dang-Vu, Mirego's president, said being an Apple partner would open doors to pitch more businesses about the potential to move the way they work from desktops to smartphones or tablets — something that could make workers a lot happier.
"It comes from the employees," he told Marketing. "They are all getting new devices, and when they see what they're asked to use for work today, they point to their personal apps and ask, 'Why can't we have something like this?'"
Some desktop programs have already transitioned towards mobile devices, like customer relationship management (CRM). The problem, according to Dang-Vu, is that companies have not always put the same time and attention into creating user interfaces that are as intuitive for employees as they have for apps they create to have consumers engage with their brand. In some respects, that means the solution could be quite simple.
"Marketing departments are going to be much more involved in this," he said. "This has tended to be a task for IT departments, and they will continue to play a supporting role, but we're already seeing organizations create innovation departments and other teams from different disciplines. Apps will be something more companies market to people internally first."
According to the 2016 Executive Enterprise Mobility Report from Apperian, 47% of corporate workers surveyed said they were either satisfied or very satisfied with their organization's adoption of custom apps—up from 31% last year. While 56% said they appreciated productivity apps in particular, the overall benefits of apps for employees touched on a wide range of areas. These included improved business processes (30%), greater productivity (23%) and a competitive advantage (20%).
Though there's still clearly a long way to go, Dang-Vu said he was optimistic that having Apple working with local companies and talking more directly with businesses would see a new generation of apps that would have employees as hooked on internal tools as they are on mobile games.
"The early websites were all so cluttered," he said. "The shift here will be the same."

school # 4 (2012 Doors to Diplomacy Project ID 7135)
We estimate 4 student(s) from 12 to 15 will work on this entry.
Description of Our Team: Four students aged 12-15 Nini, Nino, Kate and Goga worked together on this Doors to Diplomacy project. We were enthusiastic and very motivated to complete the job successfully. While thinking on the project topic we came acroos the question in the "Helth and Environment" category list: 'How people with disability problems are treated in your country?' We made a decision to choose this topic together as we consider the disability problem very actual in the whole world. As it is the world problem and as we are the part of the world, we decided to describe how our Geogian People care about disabled people, what our attitude is toward them and how we can share our experience through diplomacy. There is the center of disabled people near our school and we see and meet them almost every day. Sometimes we visit the center and talk with them, so we know their problems and disires. Every memeber of our team participated in planning and designing the project, we shared our ideas and experiences. Our teachers Inga and Gvantsa helped us to set realistic goals and to complete the project in an organized way. While we were involved in searching the information they gave us istructions. It was a great experience for us.
Project Description: Our project is focused on mentally retarded people who live in our community. We think it perfectly supports the theme of international diplomacy. With our project we wanted to inform people around us about mentally challenged people and show and explain them that they are as important members of the society as everyone else. We took the responsibility to be the embassadors/diplomats of our community and show to the rest of the world how people care about mentally challenged people, what do we know about them, in what ways can we help them and what we actually do for them. These were the questions that led us to the decision to participate in the project and actually do something to make at least a small difference. It was our try to make ordinary members of our community put themselves in the mentally challenged people's shoes, to make them understand that they are as importand and valuable members of the sociesty as everyone else and to do something to help them.


text: Vile Traveller 504 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 Thirty years ago, in the autumn of 1982, I read an article in Space Voyager magazine called "Science Fiction and Fantasy Games ... an alternative reality?", by a gentleman called Steve Jackson (the British one). It started off like this: "... And as I raced down the corridor with the Goblin pack hot on my heels, I turned around a corner and dicked through a small doorway. Panting against the closed door I looked round to see a small room with miniature furniture, all covered in a metallic dust. Glaring at me from a small chair in the far corner was an old man about three feet tall. As I looked closer I could see that his right eye was, in fact, a sparkling jewel which became brighter as he stared. His eye flashed towards a coffin-shaped box to his right. Suddenly a large black shape reared into the air and, with a mind of its own, whisped towards me. I scrambled for the door handle but the door was firmly locked ..." No, that was not an exerpt from an HP Lovecraft tale, but part of an adventure from a Role-Playing Fantasy game. What was that? I had lots of ideas (most of which turned out to be wrong), but one thing I knew - I had to get one of these Role-Playing Fantasy games! It happened there was an order form in the magazine with a special offer on what were allegedly the three best such games: Traveller, RuneQuest and Dungeons & Dragons. I traded in a year's worth of goodwill, chores, birthday and Christmas presents for a cheque, and off it went ... ... to be impounded by the customs & excise swine! I could have turned Oliver Tobias right there and then. However, the evil tax extortionists were spared my youthful vengeance because a few days later while Christmas shopping, what should I see but a magenta box with weird and crazy Erol Otus art on the lid - sorry, siblings, your presents were about to be sacrificed for the greater good. That was the 22nd of December, and the Caves of Chaos were about to be conquered! There were three of us, counting the DM. My magic-user Cedric Catweasle walked around a corner into a room full of goblins, threw his dagger and missed. The goblins threw their spears, and one magic-ser and his thiefly companion ... died. Headscratching and rule reading followed - surely this couldn't be right? No, it was right. Well, we didn't let that stop us, and my next character, an elf, almost made it to second level. Now, many years later, I have lost count of the characters that fell by the wayside, but some have stood out and remain with me still. I have never forgotten poor Catweasel, nor his successor Siegfried Säbelbein with his magic sword "Elend". The best bit is, I got to play again on 22 December 2012. And this time, on the 30th anniversary of my first game, as pure chance would have it - a randomly encountered longboat of goblins didn't fare quite so well against Cap'n "Cattail" Clavier! Merry Christmas, all you sundries! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Pea's Debut
We would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family, born early this morning.
Rather suddenly. But with great joy and relief. Never knew you could basically skip the whole laboring part and go to birth!
Having had many practice starts, I was at first skeptical to announce that I was in labor. But after waking up a 2:10 AM, with the realization that I had to move . . . I knew.
This baby was going to be born soon.
And she was.
3:21 AM, with only the Hottie, Mussie, and (of course) myself, present.
My mom, Lynda (my midwife), and Blythe (Lynda's assistant) were well on their way.
Except Sweet Pea decided to travel a more direct and quicker route.
Perhaps what brought joy to my heart most was being able to share Sweet Pea with her big brothers when they woke up..
They very much already adore her.
Well, I need another nap. If you have any prayer requests, send them my way – I'll be up a lot at night, with only God and Sweet Pea to talk to!
