Sometimes you just need a little different look in the room around you. And it needs to be low in price as well as easy to accomplish. Here's three super easy ways to make a decorating update to any room.
You know it looks great with clothing. But layers also add a little extra to a room. You can prop framed pictures or mirrors against a wall,overlapping them slightly. Top a stack of books with a knick knack. Or drape a throw over the arm of a chair. This will provide your room with a little depth.
Adding a large mirror to a room can actually make a room look larger. You're adding loads of natural light. And these mirrors can be picked up at garage sales or thrift stores.
This time of year you can walk out into your garden and find the simplest method of adding flare to a room. While vases are nice, don't forget you have other items in your home that will make great vases. Teacups and bowls are a fun change of pace.
So let me know how you spruce up a room.

Downlighting.net have large stocks of fire rated downlights, which can stop the spread of a fire between floors. Once a hole is cut into the ceiling, it loses its fire stopping capability allowing the fire to spread between floors through the hole. Fire rated downlights have a special material called an intumescent strip attached to it. In case of fire, the high temperatures cause a chemical reaction in this strip causing it to expand and bridge the hole stopping the fire spreading through it.
For commercial applications, new builds and for properties that are rented out, all downlights must be fire rated when installed in a ceiling with living accommodation above. The minimum fire rating is generally 60 minutes but 90 minutes is desirable. In other situations, it is entirely up to you but we would always recommend using fire rated down lights when there is living accommodation above.

Going on holiday is fun, its what I look forward to all year round. When I was younger I used to go abroad for Sun, Sand and you know what. These days I'm more of a family guy (even have the waistline to prove it), I've got a wife and kids, when we go abroad we like to explore as much as we can. Although public transport can be ok, you really do need a car for that extra bit of freedom to take in the sites and go where your heart takes you.
The problem with taking your own car or getting a rental when you're over there is that some countries drive on the wrong side of the road, by the wrong side I mean the right side. Did you know that only about a quarter of people in the world drive on the correct (left) side of the road? Obviously, the other three-quarters of people have completely got it wrong.
Driving on the right side is not as easy as some people think. Stickshifts have to be operated with your dumb left hand. Here are some tips and tricks I've picked up over the years driving on the wrong side of the road.
If it's your first time driving on the right, don't be over confident. It's better to get some practice on quiet roads or even a parking lot before hitting the highways.
You might be better off hiring an automatic if you can. The first time driving on the right you will feel like your taking your test for the first time. Not having to change gear is one less thing to stress about.
When driving, if you see the back of a sign coming toward you, then you're probably on the wrong side of the road. Like-wise a correctly facing sign is an indication you're on the right side of the road, unless of course it's a no-entry sign.
Remember the following rules:
- You will see oncoming traffic from the left
- When you turn left you cross oncoming traffic
- The slow lane of a motorway is the far right, try to stick to it, until you become more experienced
- Traffic on roundabouts goes counter-clockwise, give way to the left
The first few hours of driving on the right will be stressful and your concentration will be at its maximum. Having someone else in the car can be helpful to keep you right. It will also help to know local driving customs that may cause a further distraction to you; for example Spanish drivers often beep their horn at you before overtaking.
For additional assistance DriveRight offers a transparent sticker for your windscreen that serves as a reminder that helps keep you on the right side of the road.

Linkage: Housing tax reform impact in high priced markets
Tax reform won't hit high priced markets as much as you might think.
I would also add that most of these folks are subject to AMT so the $65k deduction is an illusion for them anyway. Hence tax deduction proposals not as bad for high end markets as it might seem

Prototyping the City
We hear it all the time, maybe especially during election cycles: "Our cities should be run like businesses." But then we place expectations on our civic leaders that we would never expect from the companies we most trust. For example, the expectation that our cities should go "all-in" on major projects applied everywhere and without deference to neighborhood context.
The most innovative and successful companies iterate. They release beta versions. They run cheap experiments to see if something is working and resonating with customers. They prototype and measure feedback and take what they've learned to make better products and services.
But many community leaders are often fearful to take a similar approach using pilot projects. They are fearful because the pilot projects might fail, fearful because they might succeed, fearful because of the complaints they know they'll get from constituents about risking public funds or the inequality of running a pilot project in one place instead of everywhere.
Today on Upzoned, hosts Chuck Marohn and Kea Wilson look at the much-maligned "pilot project." Inspired by an article in Governing magazine, Chuck and Kea talk about why city staff are often afraid of the pilot project and the role of the public in contributing to those fears. They discuss how pilot projects can actually contribute to a more equitable society, and how they can even bring together people on both sides of the conservative-progressive spectrum. They also discuss how pilot projects resonate with the four steps of iteratively building a strong city.
Then on the Downzone, Chuck talks about a great book he recently re-read, and Kea recommends a theatre troupe that may be taking a "Strong Towns approach" to live performance.

Please make sure their book bag is brought to school every day and they bring their home reader in on a Friday so it can be changed..
In Reception, children start to be taught using the 'Letters and Sounds' programme which takes place daily. The lessons follow a clear structure of Review, Teach, Practise and Apply. Listed below are some useful resources.

Worldwide server shipments are picking up steam, but the heady days of double-digit percentage growth won't return in the near future, market research firm Dataquest, an arm of Gartner, said.
Server shipments grew 4.2 per cent in 2002 compared with figures for 2001, Dataquest said. Hewlett-Packard (HP) maintained a healthy lead over its closest competitor, Dell Computer. The data suggested that while server shipments were stabilising as the worldwide economy continued to limp along, there were no signs of the dramatic growth that marked the late 1990s.
The acquisition of Compaq Computer allowed HP to vault into the lead for worldwide server shipments. The combined company shipped 1.39 million servers in 2002, 30.1 per cent of the worldwide market. Dell's 851,227 shipments represented 18.5 per cent of the market.
Dell posted the largest year-over-year increase, growing shipments 19.3 per cent from 2001. HP/Compaq actually lost ground, as combined shipments slipped 4.6 per cent. Compaq led the world in server shipments in 2001 with 1.03 million units, while HP only shipped 428,104 units that year, Dataquest said.
IBM's servers lost a little ground in 2002 as shipments dropped 1.3 per cent to 657,895 units. Sun Microsystems gained ground, increasing shipments 6.7 per cent to 277,300 units.
One of the strongest performing segments was the whitebox server category. The term "whitebox" refers to servers made by small, local vendors that don't garner significant market share themselves. When lumped together they accounted for 29 per cent of all servers shipped in 2002, second only to HP.
The numbers include servers built using processors from Intel, and RISC (reduced instruction set computing) processors.

The Wii (codenamed Revolution) is a home video game console created and released by Nintendo. It was released on November 16, 2006 and has since remained one of the most popular consoles. It competes against the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a seventh generation console, but has a wider demographic than the two, catering to not just hardcore games but casual gamers as well.
The most distinguishes feature of the system is its controller, the Wii Remote (also known as Wiimote), which can be used as a pointing device and detects movement in three dimensions. "Wiiconnect24" also allows it to receive messages and updates per Internet while in standby mode.
Being Nintendo's fifth home console, it is compatible with most games and accessories of its predecessor, the Nintendo GameCube. It was first announced at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference, and fully unveiled at 2005's E3. The prototype of the Wii remote was later shown at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show. The system has sold more units than its two competitors and has become a worldwide success, its best selling game being "Wii Sports" which is sold alongside it, and broke the record for best-selling console in a single month in the United States.
The Wii shared the market with the Nintendo DS, Nintendo's prime handheld at the time, and the predecessor of the Nintendo 3DS. The Wii also has some compatibility with the 3DS. It also has a console successor named "Wii U" that was unveiled and playable at E3 2011, and will be released in 2012. [1] [2]

Since the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed at the end of 2017, Michigan businesses have been working to fully understand the impact of federal tax reform on state taxes. One area that will have the greatest impact on a state's business tax liability is the new limitation on the amount of interest expenses that can be deducted from corporate income. For Michigan businesses, this change could impact Michigan businesses to the tune of $100 million.
Fortunately, last week, Chamber-backed legislation – Senate Bill 1097 – was introduced by Senate Finance Committee Chairman, Senator Brandenburg, that would allow businesses to ignore the new interest expense deduction limitation for state tax purposes. While the committee was set to meet on September 5th to report the bill, the committee had to cancel due to the flurry of legislative activity taking place that day on proposals to increase the minimum wage and mandate paid sick leave. The legislature will be back in session later this month and another hearing is expected.
For more information on this issue, please contact Dan Papineau at email@example.com.

Virtually all business transactions involve some level of environmental risk. The key is to identify all of the potential risks and collect sufficient information about them early in the due diligence period of a transaction. This proactive approach to environmental due diligence will help the buyer determine whether the risks are acceptable in light of the overall transaction and develop a strategy for managing them, both in the contract negotiations prior to acquisition and after the transaction is complete.
How much and to what extent businesses should conduct environmental due diligence typically depends on the nature of the transaction and the anticipated use of the property after purchase.
Below are five tips for buyers to consider when determining the appropriate level of environmental due diligence that should be performed in business transactions.
Although the tips are geared toward buyers, sellers should also consider them so that they can better anticipate the types and level of due diligence that a buyer may perform (and understand their reasons for doing so). Identifying and correcting environmental problems in advance of the transaction may help prevent buyer demands for purchase price reductions or substantial escrows to cover potential environmental liabilities.
1. Identify the types of environmental liabilities that could be implicated
The most common types of environmental liability and costs associated with businesses and their properties include:
· Cleanup of contamination on owned or leased property;
· Cleanup of contamination on nearby property owned by others, where contamination has migrated from a company property;
· Cleanup of contamination on property where the company's waste has been sent for treatment or disposal;
· Tort liability (bodily injury and property damage resulting from exposure to hazardous substances);
· Fines/penalties for violations of environmental laws and permits associated with the company's operations;
· Capital expenditures necessary to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental laws and permits applicable to company operations;
· Increased costs of demolition or site redevelopment associated with contamination of the property, the presence of asbestos or other hazardous materials in site structures, or the presence of wetlands or other sensitive environmental conditions on the property; and
· Legacy environmental liabilities associated with former properties, operations and businesses of the company.
Crystal Kennedy is a partner in Thompson Coburn's environmental practice area in the firm's St. Louis, Missouri office and focuses on environmental matters associated with real estate and corporate transactions.

Women in Tech: Bridging the Gender Gap
Even with an increased emphasis on promoting STEM to girls in schools, the tech industry today still has a significant gender gap. Women in tech make up less than 20% of U.S. jobs available, reports Wired, and further, women hold a lower share of tech jobs now than they did in the '80s. Given that women make up more than half of the U.S. workforce, it seems natural that they should make up about half of any tech team.
Bridging the gender gap in tech, however, is a challenge that will take effort on many fronts, ranging from education to company policies and procedures. Take a look at your own IT department. Does it reflect the national average? Or, is your company taking deliberate steps to recruit more female faces?
Addressing the Gender Gap
While companies can't persuade more women to go into computer science, making more jobs available might attract them to the field. The first step is to write and implement a diversity policy. Hiring managers can work with leadership to put a plan into place. For example, you can create a company goal that states, "By 2022, we will increase the number of women in our tech department 20%." When you address your own diversity in hiring, you can take steps toward correcting the gender gap.
Another area to address is the unconscious bias that might be playing a role in your recruiting. According to Psychology Today, the brain has so much information to take in that it uses "mental shortcuts" to deal with complexity. It defaults to your background, experiences and societal stereotypes to make decisions without you realizing. To deal with unconscious bias, some companies use blind recruitment, removing personal information from resumes, such as name and gender, and only assessing a candidate based on experience and skills.
Women in tech have reported recognizing a gender gap during the job interview process. To eliminate the subjectivity that can creep in, use a standardized process. Pose the same set of questions in the same order to help an interviewer make clearer comparisons, an article in the Harvard Business Review suggested.
Also, make sure that your recruiting team is diverse. When making decisions about potential employers, people tend to look for someone like themselves in interviews, according to research by sociologist Lauren Rivera, published in HBR. The more female faces you have on your hiring team, the better your chances of recruiting more women into your tech department.
Demonstrating Your Commitment to Equality
Once you understand what you can do to help address the gender gap and get more women in tech, get the word out about your commitment to equality by making sure your career website and job ads include your diversity policy.
Furthermore, partner with professional organizations, such as the Anita Borg Institute or Women in Technology. Post wanted ads with these groups and attend their job fairs to show your dedication and commitment.
You can donate or volunteer for (or pay your employees to take part in) organizations that encourage girls to get into the field, such as Girls in Tech, Girls Who Code and Black Girls Code. By establishing relationships with young women, you build a reputation of being a company that is committed to diversity in its workforce.
Supporting the Women Who Work for You
If companies want a diverse workforce, getting more women in the door is only half of the equation. Once women land a job in the tech field, they leave at a 45% higher rate than men, reports Forbes.
A survey by the job site Indeed found that the biggest reason for this exodus is lack of career growth. According to the survey, just 53% of respondents said women have the same chances to land senior leadership jobs as their male colleagues. Other reasons for leaving include unacceptable pay, work-life balance and sexual discrimination or harassment.
To improve the situation, the survey found that women want companies to be transparent about salaries, including sharing ranges in job descriptions that would help them identify better opportunities and negotiate a more fair compensation. They also want a more clearly defined path for growth.
While companies need to play a role, women should also be their own advocates. In an interview with Fast Company, Kim Williams, who organized the Indeed survey, said, "As more women advance in their careers, they break down barriers and set crucial examples for others. Once you get into those management and senior leadership positions, continue to find ways to hold yourself and others accountable for creating an environment where women are included and have access to what they need to be successful."
Closing the Gap
There are many ways that you, as a small-business owner, can address this challenge, whether it's making changes to hiring practices, finding community sponsorship programs or something else entirely. Ultimately, by creating an environment that attracts women and promotes them into leadership roles, you can help move the needle and address the gender gap in tech.

There are 5 steps in the Incident Response Cycle:
Addressing each step in the incident response cycle will ultimately help your team drive down incident resolution times by (1) focusing on actionable alerts, (2) getting the right people to review those alerts, and (3) understanding the full impact of the problem so that (4) the appropriate remediation steps can be taken and (5) reviewed to make sure the same problem does not happen again. In this article, we will discuss Step 1: Optimize.
- What does "Optimize" mean?
What kinds of common business or operational challenges come up when we do not optimize our alerting?
- We get too many non-actionable alerts that we don't care about.
- We have a hard time separating high urgent alerts from low urgent alerts.
- We have multiple redundant alerts that are triggered for the same issue.
What does "Optimize" mean?
Optimizing means configuring your monitoring and alerting such that only actionable events receive immediate attention and non-actionable events are categorized differently or not surfaced at all. Being able to optimize what kinds of alerts your team is notified about translates into less time understanding how to prioritize alerts and more time focused on those business critical events that are directly related to your uptime and performance.
What kinds of common business or operational challenges come up when we do not optimize our alerting?
- We get too many non-actionable alerts that we don't care about.
- We have a hard time separating high urgent alerts from low urgent alerts.
- We have multiple redundant alerts that are triggered for the same issue.
We get too many non-actionable alerts that we don't care about.
When there are too many non-actionable alerts flooding your team's inboxes and phones, more time is spent reviewing non-urgent alerts, delaying the detection of a more critical one or even letting the critical alerts completely fall through the cracks.
As a best practice, only actionable alerts and events should notify your team, which means removing non-actionable events from your team's view. This will allow your team to focus on the alerts and events which are mission critical to your business.
PagerDuty has 2 key features that helps teams focus on actionable alerts:
- Email filters
- Suppression event rules
Feature: Email filters
If you have set up an email integration on your PagerDuty service, then use email filters to filter out emails that are non-actionable alerts. With regular expressions, you can control what kinds of emails should trigger actionable incidents and notifications based on the from address, the subject line of the email, or the body of the email.
Feature: Suppression event rules
Suppression event rules are the equivalent of email filters for API integrations. With suppression event rules, you can suppress alerts sent via the API from triggering an incident and notifying the on-call. This means more control over events that are sent via the API so that only the most important events are surfaced as relevant issues that need to be fixed by your team.
Read more about suppression event rules.
Note: Suppression event rules can only be used by enabling a setting on your service to create alerts and incidents. Turning on this setting at the service level is not recommended if your service is set up with any one of these bi-directional integrations. If you are not sure whether to turn on this setting, please contact our support team
We have a hard time separating high urgent alerts from low urgent alerts.
When it's hard to distinguish alerts that need to be addressed now versus alerts that can be looked at later, it becomes difficult for users to prioritize their work. This may result in low-level issues being worked on first while a more urgent issue exponentially grows into a larger problem.
Feature: Urgencies
With PagerDuty's urgencies, you can clearly identify which alerts are high- vs. low-urgent, allowing users to prioritize which events are worked on immediately and which alerts should be monitored and reviewed on the side. Ultimately, this means critical events can be surfaced and identified more quickly, resulting in faster response and resolution times for high-urgent events.
To bring in both high and low urgent alerts for one of your services (no matter the time of the day), you will need to create 2 separate services.
The urgency levels of incidents are clearly displayed in the web and mobile app, with high urgent incidents taking priority over low urgency incidents in the list views.
Notifications for high and low urgent incidents are also customizable under each user's profile, which means that users don't need to be bothered in the middle of the night when a low urgent event is detected.
We have multiple redundant alerts that are triggered for the same issue.
Some monitoring solutions are configured to repeatedly notify you about an event either as part of their built-in settings or as part of a configurable setting that somebody set up for your team. Instead of having to reconfigure those settings, you can use PagerDuty's features to bundle redundant alerts into one PagerDuty incident. This means less alerts in your inbox and more time to focus on resolving the source of the problem. Fortunately, one of these features is built-in to PagerDuty and requires no configuration.
Feature: Incident keys
PagerDuty uses "incident keys" to de-duplicate multiple alerts and bundle them under one incident. Many of PagerDuty's built-in integrations are pre-configured with a defined incident key based on the event details passed by tools such as NewRelic or AppDynamics. This means that by default, PagerDuty will de-duplicate your redundant alerts and immediately help reduce the alert noise for your team without requiring any manual reconfiguration efforts on your monitoring systems.
If you are building a custom integration using PagerDuty's events API, then you will also be able to use incident keys to de-duplicate incidents. Simply pass through the same incident key for those events that you want to de-duplicate.
If multiple events are sent with the same incident key, then they will bundled under the same incidents and viewable under the Timeline for each incident.
Feature: Email management rules
You can also apply the same incident key feature for incidents that trigger via email.
By default, all email integrations de-duplicate based on the subject line of the email (the 2nd option below). However, you can also configure your integration to trigger incidents on every new email (1), if there are no open incidents (3), or based on custom rules (4)
If triggering based on custom rules, you will be able to define your own custom incident key based on the subject or body for the email.
These rules give you more control over what types of emails trigger incidents and how additional emails should be de-duplicated under the same PagerDuty incident to prevent redundant alerts from triggering and distracting your on-call person as they work to resolve the problem.

Seeing those footy players out for a jog created a sense of optimism such that we had to jump to footy and see what is transpiring at the moment with the National Rugby League.
We were immediately greeted with the good news that Cooper Cronk's shoulder surgery went well and he is reasonably sure that he will be ready when the Telstra 2019 NRL Premiership competition launches and able to lend a hand in the Roosters' premiership defense.
Cronk, still the greatest name in the code, a name that first rose to prominence when the cave dwellers of our past first began off-loading oval-shaped rocks to one another, played the 2018 NRL Grand Final with a fractured left scapula.
That feat will doubtless earn a spot in the legend of the game category, but it would have been more impressive if he had played with his arm in a sling such as we recently saw him sporting.
Cronk has one more season left on his pact with the Roosters, who open the 2019 season with a Sydney Derby against the Bunnies.
They must be having some sort of deal on Sydney shoulder surgery, as former Rabbitohs-gone-over-to-the-dark-side Angus Crichton will be testing his right shoulder as a member of the Chooks.
It was obviously a buy one shoulder surgery, get the second 50 percent off, with Cronk giving his coupon to Crichton.
Ryan Hall, however, discovered the pitfalls of playing Pom football, damaging his ACL playing for Leeds last Super League season and will miss the opening phase of the NRL season after abandoning England with five Super League ribbons around his neck.
Those punters out there who do not like to wait for the last moment will already find the Sydney Derby market open and the line for the game is only 1.5 in favour of Sydney.
There are already six futures markets up with Ladbrokes and the wise guys have the Roosters $4.50 to win the 2019 premiership, with South on the next line at $7.

Genre: Historical Fiction
Just as Jeremiah Goodbye is set to meet his fate in the electric chair, a tornado tears down the prison walls, and he is given a second chance at life. With the flip of a coin, he decides to return to his home town of Nowhere, Oklahoma, to settle the score with his twin brother Josiah. But upon his escape, he enters a world he doesn't recognize—one that has been overtaken by the Dust Bowl. And the gift he once relied on to guide him is as unrecognizable as the path back to Nowhere.
After one jolt in Old Sparky, Jeremiah sees things more clearly and begins to question the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murders he was accused of. On his journey home, he accidentally rescues a young boy who follows him the rest of the way, and the pair arrive at their destination where they are greeted by fearful townspeople. When the Black Sunday storm hits the very next day, the residents of Nowhere finally begin to let the past few years of hardship bury them under the weight of all that dust.
Unlikely heroes, Jeremiah and his new companion, Peter Cotton, try to protect the townspeople from themselves, but Jeremiah must face his nightmares and free himself from the guilt of flipping the coin on those men who died.
Filled with mystery and magic, What Blooms from Dust is the story of finding hope in the midst of darkness and discovering the beauty of unexpected kindness.

Do I Recommend this book? If you love historical fiction with a little mystery check this one out.
This book skips from the early 1900s to the 1930s which worked well. I really enjoyed reading about Jeremiah and his escape from prison in 1935. The author did a great job with creating this story with its characters but in the end, it just wasn't for me. So for me, it was an acceptable read but nothing to write home about.
I do hope that whoever wins this copy loves it more than I did.

Ugin and Elder Dragons
Lore forum
Posted on Sept. 1, 2018, 5:02 a.m. by QuilavaUchiha
Ugin and Nicol Bolas are canonically brothers, twins even, so why isn't Ugin represented alongside the other elder dragons? Also, would Ugin technically be more powerful than Bolas? If I understand correctly, Nicol Bolas took over the minds of the Tarkir dragons Ugin had created and called to help him, and won mostly becuase of that. Ugin had also used a lot of his power to help imprison the Eldrazi. Therefore, in theory, if Ugin hadn't used his power to create the Dragon Tempests or the Eye of Ugin/Eldrazi prison, he would've beaten Bolas when the fight happened, meaning, in theory, he is the most powerful elder dragon. Thoughts?
Ugin's name and place as an Elder Dragon has been forgotten on Dominaria as part of Bolas' jealous campaign. Even though in power and stature he is on par with his brothers and sister and cousin, he is not an Elder Dragon in title, and probably doesn't really want to be anyway.
As for his relative power, its difficult to say. Elder Dragons have so much raw power anyway, in varying disciplines of magic, that it's hard to compare them. Especially when they are better at some things than others, such as Bolas' penchance for mind control or Rhuell's shapeshifting. Both are exceptional in those fields, but neither are better hunters than Palladia-Mors. But that doesn't make Mors stronger than them.
I think Ugin definitely can't be the strongest Elder Dragon, just as Bolas can't be, because they are not whole. They are twins, but in practice, it means they are both half of a complete almighty Elder Dragon. Still powerful, and still able to compete, but even Bolas' campaign with the Elder Dragon War doesn't necessarily indicate he's more powerful than his siblings and cousin.

QuilavaUchiha says... #3
kanokarob Huh, I never thought of it that way when it came to Ugin and Bolas. I do hope that the other Elder Dragons get expanded on, as fun as it is to see Bolas' conquests. With the Eldrazi freed again, I think there's an opportunity for Ugin to be represented, and Bolas may even return to Dominaria to finish the war. Admittedly, though, that may be a pipe dream with core sets replacing blocks now.
September 1, 2018 7:24 p.m.
Bolas and Ugin (if you count him as alive) are the only surviving Dominarian Elder Dragons.
Arcades Sabboth was killed by Kristina when she dueled Leshrac. We don't have many details on this as it happened off-screen, but it's stated after the fact that Leshrac summoned "Rhuell's brother" in their battle, and since Bolas is Rhuell's only other brother, and cannot be summoned due to being a planeswalker, Sabboth had to have been killed here.
When Palladia-Mors and Chromium Rhuell were discovered by some townsfolk, she tried to destroy them. Rhuell put her to sleep, and lived among the townsfolk as the Tickery Man for eighty years. She was awakened by Vaevictis Asmadi, who needed her to undo a curse set upon him. Chromium convinced Vaevictis to turn on Palladia, telling him that she only wanted to use him to kill Rhuell. In their fight, Palladia reversed his spell and caused him to vanish into nowhere. Then Rhuell put Palladia back to sleep.
Leshrac, Faralyn, and Tevesh Szat killed Chromium Rhuell at the Summit of the Null Moon in an attempt to escape the Shard of the Twelve Worlds. (In fact it only granted them enough power to escape to Shandalar, which could pass in and out of the Shard. They had intended to kill a planeswalker, but that's another story.)
Although Vaevictis could have survived, and Palladia was put to sleep and not killed, Bolas has stated that none of his kind are still alive. Now, we know him to be a liar, especially regarding his siblings and cousin, but it's unlikely that Vaevictis survived his duel with Palladia. Palladia might still be alive under the tickery magic, but since Bolas clearly wants nothing to do with her, there's no reason anyone would ever want or need to wake her up ever again.

The reason Ugin didn't get a card in Core2019 was that he was added to the story too late in the design process to give him a card which would do him justice.
In Bolas and Ugin's Tarkir duel it was actually Yasova who cast the spell that turned the Tarkir dragons against Ugin. Bolas's plan for that duel was to speak through extra-planar means to Yasova's mind and get her to go to Ugin. Along the way she made markings in the shape of Bolas's horns to mark the trail and she also met Sarkhan Vol. Bolas used the markings like a landing strip to know where on Tarkir to planeswalk to. Once their duel had begun and the Tarkir dragons moved to attack Bolas, Yasova cast her spell to cause them to attack Ugin instead. Her presence made all the difference in the outcome of that duel. She later realized that she had been influenced by Bolas and in the Core2019 stories we see her fears of Naiva being influenced by him too.

Tak clene whete and braye yt wel in a morter tyl þe holes gon of; and seþe it til it breste in water. Nym it vp & lat it cole. Tak good broþ & swete mylk of kyn or of almand & tempere it þerwith. Nym ȝelkes of eyren rawe & saffroun & cast þerto; salt it; lat it nauȝt boyle after þe eyren ben cast þerinne. Messe it forth with venesoun or with fat motoun fresch. The Forme of Cury 1.
To make Frumenty
Take clean wheat and smash it well in a mortar until the hulls are gone, and boil it in water until it bursts. Take it up and let it cool. Take good broth and sweet cow or almond milk, and mix it therewith. Take yolks of eggs and saffron and cast thereto, and salt it. Do not let it boil after the eggs be cast therein. Serve it forth with venison or fat, fresh mutton.
The text of the original recipe comes from Curye on Inglysch, edited by Constance Hieatt and Sharon Butler.
Frumenty, or furmenty, was a staple of medieval kitchens. As the recipe above suggests, in England particularly it was served with venison. It does make an excellent accompaniment to any meat dish with a good sauce, as the frumenty absorbs the sauce well. It is a very filling dish, and can be made sweet with the addition of sugar and dried fruits.
|160g (1 cup) bulgur
|2 egg yolks
|500mL beef, chicken or vegetable stock
|1/4 tsp saffron, crushed
|500mL milk or almond milk
|1 tsp salt
- Put the bulgur, stock, milk and saffron in a pot and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the frumenty mix to a simmer, and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed (this will take around half an hour). Stir it occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick.
- Keeping the heat very low, add the egg yolks and salt and stir well to heat through.
- Can be served hot, or at room temperature, as an accompaniment to a meat dish or a side dish by itself.
This recipe is very similar to the one found in Pleyn Delit (78).
- Bulgur is made by crushing and boiling wheat grains – thereby eliminating a lot of pounding wheat in a mortar.
- Frumenty could also be made with barley (Hieatt et al, 1996, 47).
- The bulgur will swell to at least four times the size when cooked – remember to take this into account when menu planning.
- The "fresh mutton" mentioned in the original recipe refers to recently butchered mutton, rather than salted, preserved mutton.
- If your frumenty is too sloppy, you are probably using too much cooking liquid. It's better to use slightly less and top up if in doubt.

United States District Court, D. Nebraska
May 29, 2018
ANTHONY EUGENE HANCOCK, Plaintiff,v.LINCOLN POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al., Defendants.
Richard G. Kopf Senior United States District Judge
Anthony Hancock, who is incarcerated at the Lincoln
Correctional Center, has been granted leave to proceed in
forma pauperis (Filing 7). The court now conducts an initial
review of Plaintiff's Complaint to determine whether
summary dismissal is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. §§
1915(e)(2) and 1915A.
brings this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action requesting
injunctive relief and money damages against the Lincoln
Police Department[1] and four officers. Plaintiff alleges the
officers gained access to his apartment on November 15, 2017,
to question him about an alleged domestic assault, but then
proceeded to ask him about drug dealing activities and to
search the premises without a warrant. The officers allegedly
justified the search by stating it was permitted as a
condition of his parole.
court is required to review prisoner and in forma pauperis
complaints seeking relief against a governmental entity or an
officer or employee of a governmental entity to determine
whether summary dismissal is appropriate. See 28 U.S.C.
§§ 1915(e) and 1915A. The court must dismiss a
complaint or any portion of it that states a frivolous or
malicious claim, that fails to state a claim upon which
relief may be granted, or that seeks monetary relief from a
defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. §
Pro se
plaintiffs must set forth enough factual allegations to
"nudge[] their claims across the line from conceivable
to plausible, " or "their complaint must be
dismissed." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly,
550 U.S. 544, 569-70 (2007); see also Ashcroft v.
Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) ("A claim has
facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content
that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that
the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.").
essential function of a complaint under the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure is to give the opposing party 'fair
notice of the nature and basis or grounds for a claim, and a
general indication of the type of litigation
involved.'" Topchian v. JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., 760 F.3d 843, 848 (8th Cir. 2014) (quoting
Hopkins v. Saunders, 199 F.3d 968, 973 (8th Cir.
1999)). However, "[a] pro se complaint must be
liberally construed, and pro se litigants are held to a
lesser pleading standard than other parties."
Topchian, 760 F.3d at 849 (internal quotation marks
and citations omitted).
the absence of a warrant, a search is reasonable only if it
falls within a specific exception to the warrant
requirement." Riley v. California, 134 S.Ct.
2473, 2482 (2014). Plaintiff alleges in this case that the
police officers claimed they had a right to search his
apartment without a warrant as a condition of his parole, and
he does not refute this claim by alleging any facts to the
contrary in his Complaint. The officers' alleged basis
for conducting the warrantless search is not necessarily
wrong as a matter of law. The United States Supreme Court has
held that a search conducted pursuant to state law, but
without even a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity,
does not violate a parolee's Fourth Amendment rights.
See Samson v. California, 547 U.S. 843, 856-57
(2006).[2] See also United States v.
Jackson, 866 F.3d 982, 984-85 (8th Cir. 2017);
United States v. Hamilton, 591 F.3d 1017, 1021-22
(8th Cir. 2010) (discussing Samson ruling).
Plaintiff can truthfully allege facts showing that the
officers violated his constitutional rights by searching his
apartment without a warrant, this Fourth Amendment claim must
be dismissed. For example, Plaintiff might allege that the
conditions of his supervision did not allow such a search,
and might attach a copy of those conditions. Out of an
abundance of caution, the court will grant Plaintiff leave to
file an Amended Complaint for the limited purpose of stating
a plausible Fourth Amendment claim. If an Amended Complaint
is filed, it will supersede, rather than supplement,
Plaintiff's original Complaint. That is to say, the
Amended Complaint must "stand on its own."
complains that he was not administered Miranda
warnings, but from the facts alleged, he does not appear to
have been in custody while being questioned by the police.
See United States v. Czichray, 378 F.3d 822, 826
(8th Cir. 2004) ("When a person is questioned on his
own turf, we have observed repeatedly that the surroundings
are "not indicative of the type of inherently coercive
setting that normally accompanies a custodial
interrogation.") (internal quotations and citations
omitted). In any event, "the remedy for a
Miranda violation is the exclusion from evidence of
any compelled self-incrimination, not a section 1983
action." Hannon v. Sanner, 441 F.3d 635, 636
(8th Cir. 2006) (quoting Warren v. City of Lincoln,
864 F.2d 1436, 1442 (8th Cir. 1989) (en banc)).
caption to Plaintiff's Complaint mentions
"malicious prosecution" and "arrest in bad
faith, " but these claims presumably relate to the
domestic assault charge, for which Plaintiff pleaded
guilty.[3] There are no facts alleged in the
Complaint to support such claims, but even if there were,
Plaintiff cannot bring a section 1983 action unless
the conviction has been invalidated. See Heck v.
Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994)
(affirming dismissal of § 1983 action against
prosecutors and police for alleged constitutional violations
that led to plaintiff's conviction).
caption to Plaintiff's Complaint also mentions
"racial discrimination and harassment." Plaintiff
alleges he is black, but there are no facts alleged to show
that he was discriminated against or harassed by the officers
because of his race. To prevail on such under the Equal
Protection Clause, Plaintiff must prove that he was treated
differently than others who were similarly ...
