In the forest situated north of Pischia, over 7 km of the so-called "Roman rampart" is still preserved.
This wave can also been seen in Bencecu de Sus, and another one, parallel with the first one and only 10 km away from it, can be seen near the old mill.
Today, the inhabitants of Bencecu de Sus and Murani can also boast with the fact that the commune boundaries are crossed by these ancient waves, whose existence, between the Mures River and the Danube relates to the entire local ancient history of the south-western part of Dacia on the Timis lands.

Lori will be the first openly LGBTQ mayor of one of America's three largest cities
Lori Lightfoot is running for Mayor of Chicago.
Lori is a dedicated manager, advocate and longtime fighter for reform. She has worked to invest in every Chicago neighborhood with equity and inclusion as her guiding principles. Lori will fight to guarantee investment in public school systems, increase public safety and decrease violence, expand affordable housing, and create job opportunities for every person. She has extensive experience as a former federal prosecutor and is a leader in investigating police misconduct including police-involved shootings and recently served as President of the Police Board and Chair of the Police Accountability Task Force. Lori's work is the underpinning of the Obama-era Department of Justice report and the consent decree, which will be the basis for police reform and accountability.
Lori's past has shaped her vision for the future: she grew up in a low-income family in a small town, where her mother worked low-wage jobs and and her father held multiple jobs at a time to make ends meet. She received a full scholarship to the University of Chicago Law School and moved to Hyde Park. Lori worked her way through school to become a police reform expert, Assistant United States Attorney, former leader of City departments that support small businesses and improve emergency response—and now, the independent progressive candidate for Mayor of Chicago. With the exception of a one-year clerkship on the Michigan Supreme Court in Detroit, Lori has lived in Chicago since 1986.
Lori's experiences have prepared her to lead Chicago with a commitment to uplifting every neighborhood, a passion for quality education, and a dedication to making sure every person can thrive—regardless of who they are, who they know, or who they love. Lori and her spouse, Amy, live on the near northwest side with their 10-year-old daughter.
You can read Lori's full bio here.
LGBTQ history in the making:
- Lori will be the first African American woman and the first openly LGBTQ mayor of one of America's three largest cities.

Over the years, be it a mobile app or website, we have experienced the pop-ups - a small dialogue box containing some content with CTA, which are used to inform or guide the users. The advocates consider it as a tool to improve the conversion with heightened user experience while critics find it quite annoying.
According to a research, "after analyzing the 2 billion pop-ups, it is found that the top 10% of the pop-ups ensures 9.28% conversion rate and the average pop-ups result in 3.09%conversion rate."
Do what you are good at, but don't forget to tell it to your customers. By applying this simple thing in your app marketing strategy, you can reach on to your customers with utmost ease. Moreover, it should be noted that sending mass mails or messages can annoy your customer and could even result into un-installation of your app.
Therefore, what should be done by the marketers to break out the noise of the things they are doing to their customers? How an app marketing strategy can increase their customer engagement without being brash and in a more sophisticate manner.
The answer is Push Notification. By integrating push notification into your customer app marketing strategy, you can be assured of delivering distinct and specific value to your end users. Push notification can help the marketers to create a personalized and deep relationship with the customers that will delight them.
So, let's have a look about how push notifications work, what they are and the specific strategies in which they can be used to its optimum.

As regular readers of this site probably know, one of the things that I've been focusing on over the past couple of years is improving the lighting in my digitally-edited paintings. Or, more specifically, learning how to use one particularly cool style of lighting.
This is the kind of lighting that looks like something from a metal concert, the kind of lighting that looks like something from a film noir movie, the kind of lighting that looks like something from an "edgy"mid-late 1990s computer game, the kind of lighting that looks like something from the cyberpunk genre or the kind of lighting that you might see in an old sci-fi horror movie from the 80s or 90s.
In other words, lighting that really stands out. So, how do you create this kind of lighting?
1) It's all about contrast: One of the principles I learnt when I was teaching myself the basics of how to make black & white monochrome art in 2014/2015 is that a good monochrome picture should consist of 30-50% black ink or black paint. If there isn't enough, then the entire picture just looks "flat" and the lighter and/or shaded areas of the picture don't stand out much.
Likewise, in 2016, I learnt that the easiest way to paint bright lights was to leave the centre of the light blank and to go around it with a gradually-darkening layer of whatever colour the light happens to be. Since the area around the centre of the light is slightly darker, it makes the centre of the light look brighter by comparison – like this:
So, why have I mentioned all of this? Well, it's all to do with contrast. Lighting stands out best when it is constrasted with dark surroundings. After all, a neon sign might look really cool at night – but it would probably look faded and boring if you happened to turn it on during the day.
So, if you use dark or gloomy locations in your art, then the lighting is automatically going to stand out a lot more – like in this old painting of mine from last year that I've shown off numerous times before:
2) Think logically and physically: I still have a lot to learn when it comes to painting truly realistic lighting. But, by knowing a few very basic principles, I've still been able to create dramatic-looking lighting nonetheless. Why? Because I've learnt how to think about lighting logically- and so can you.
This is all fairly basic stuff, but it's important to remember that the lighting in your artwork has to come from somewhere. In other words, your painting should include at least a few obvious light sources (eg: neon signs, computer screens, spotlights, fairy lights etc..) and that these light sources should provide all or most of the light in your picture, just like in real life.
Likewise, you need to learn the basic principles of how light and shadow behave. This is really simple – just start by thinking of the setting of your painting as an actual three-dimensional thing (playing old 3D computer games can help you learn how to think about 2D images in 3D).
Once you've done this, then mentally draw straight lines radiating out from each light source – anything that these lines hit should be the same colour as your light (and anything on the opposite side of the things the lines have hit should be in shadow, unless it is being affected by another light).
If the light is brighter, the lines should be longer – if the light is dimmer, they should be shorter. Sound confusing? Here's a detail from one of my digitally-edited paintings that will appear here in mid-July:
Now, here's a modified version of the picture which shows how I worked out which areas each light source in the foreground of the painting would affect (even though, aside from some very basic shading techniques, I still don't know how to paint things like faces being affected by light in a realistic way). Each major light source has brighter lines of the same colour radiating away from it and hitting anything nearby:
The trick is, of course, working out where to put the lights and how many of them to include. Whilst this is something that can only truly be learnt from practice and experimentation, a good way to start is to limit yourself to 1-2 light sources per painting until you get the hang of it.
3) Light colour: You might have noticed that many of the light sources in the example I just showed you are different colours, this is because one of the cool things you can do with lighting is to use it to add a bold colour scheme to your painting.
The easiest way to do this is to use a complementary colour scheme (or two of them ) when deciding what colour the light sources in your painting should be.
To find a complementary colour scheme, just look at a red/yellow/blue colour wheel. Colours that are directly opposite each other on the wheel will complement each other. Likewise, if you draw an equilateral triangle over the wheel, then the three colours at each point of the triangle will compliment each other too.
Of course, you can use slightly different colour schemes than this if you want to create a particular effect (eg: red and blue is perfect for things in the horror/sci-fi horror genre). But, if the lighting in your painting follows at least one complementary colour scheme, then it will instantly add some extra atmosphere to the painting.
Anyway, I hope that this was useful 🙂

The Next PKD Adaptation
Sci Fi Wire reports that Nicholas Cage is set to star in an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story "The Golden Man".
I think I was one of the few people who actaully liked Minority Report and also thought Paycheck was watchable. So I have some high hopes for this as well. I'll stick with PKD film tradition and read the story before seeing the movie. Well, OK, I didn't read the short stories on which Total Recall and Screamers were based until after seeing the movie, so maybe it's not really a tradition. But hey.

Oh, Game of Thrones. With only one season left the vast majority of the western world is preparing to mourn this powerhouse of a series. We've laughed, we've cried (mostly cried, lets be honest), we've cringed, and now we face the toughest challenge of all… the end. Well, fear not! There now exists a way for us to handle our grief in true Westerosi style. Wine. Specifically Game of Thrones themed wine. Yup, you too can drink and know things like Tyrion, or observe that unhappy wives make wine merchants rich like Cersei. Lets just hope you don't choose to use it as a vehicle for poison like… well, a lot of people on this show.
Alright, so now that we know that we can get wine drunk in time with our favorite characters, lets get down to brass tacks. First, it's important to know that this is OFFICIAL GoT wine. The label boasts HBO's logo as well as a note stating that all of the wine is vinted and bottled by Seven Kingdoms Wines in Hopland, CA. So yeah, this is not a knock off. There are currently three varieties of wine to choose from. The Paso Robles and Chardonnay are $25 per bottle and the Cabernet Sauvignon is $50 per bottle. All bottles are 750mL, which is a standard sized bottle of wine. Alternately, you can save a little money and buy one of the mixed boxes. There are a few choices if you decide to go this route. My favorite comes with two bottles of each type of wine (three for drinking and three for saving if you, like me, think that these would be worth saving for posterity) and a free GoT corkscrew.
The first is a 2015 Paso Robles, which is a red blend. Its described by the vineyard as "Dark black cherry, brambly blackberry, vanilla and cocoa aromas. Soft, juicy black fruit flavors combine in the mouth with hints of leather and spice. Tannins are round and chewy with a rich, juicy mouthfeel that ends with a warm and spicy toasty, vanilla-laced finish." The second is a 2016 Central Coast Chardonnay, which is a white wine. It's described by the vineyard as having "Enticing aromas of stone fruit and white blossoms lead to a rich, creamy palate of peaches, apricots, tangerine, Meyer lemon, baking spices and honey, balanced by mouth-watering acidity. A touch of oak on the lingering finish." Lastly, and coming in at twice the price of the other two, is a 2015 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which is a red wine. It is described as having "A delicious nose of blackcurrant, briar and Tahitian vanilla all interwoven through extended aging in the finest French oak barrels. A long and intensely pleasurable finish on the palate, delivers the caress of smooth tannins with a touch of cocoa."
I went ahead, took one for the team, and tasted the Paso Robles. I know, huge sacrifice, I'm a real hero. At first I was genuinely afraid that these wines were just a huge marketing ploy and was 100% ready to gulp down some crappy themed wine. I am happy to report, that I was very wrong. I mean, lets face facts, at $25 a bottle you aren't neccessarily going to get top shelf wine. But compared to other wine of a similar price range, I personally feel that it held its own and definitely exceeds some of it's peers. I tend to be kind of picky about wine and especially about reds. I found the Paso Robles to be sweet but not TOO sweet, a little dry but not VERY dry, a nice solid middle of the road wine. I'm definitely not a sommelier, so do with that assessment what you will. I did taste test this bottle with a friend who came to the same conclusion as I did, it's a shockingly pleasant red that is neither too sweet nor too dry.

Celebrating our father's is something I love doing each and every year. I love my dad. He's been my rock of advice whenever I needed it. The bearer of wisdom. He worked hard as I grew up but was always there when we needed him. And usually, when father's day rolls around, I go out and get my dad the typical t-shirt, socks or that coffee mug with that silly saying on it. Just a token to show dad how much I appreciate him.
But what does dad really want? Everyone scrambles on father's day to find that perfect gift. But what do you get someone who practically has everything?
Dad doesn't need another tie. He doesn't need new socks. Or maybe he does, but that is a sucky gift. You need to think outside the box. Get dad something you know he will not only love but something he really wants. Here are a few suggestions on that amazing father's day gift for dad you never knew he wanted but secretly does.
Canvas Print
Dad may not even think about wanting or needing a canvas print, but imagine how stoked he would be if you were to get him one for his office. Maybe a photo of that special vacation you took as a family. How about that award he received for making partner. Or maybe a photo of him and his siblings when they were younger. Or a print of his grandkids he can show off to his co-workers and cherish.
Canvas Factory has prints of all kinds for dad for father's day. Your canvas print image is stretched and wrapped onto a wooden frame ready to display or hang. You can choose your size and shape of your canvas, and there is a variety of artwork to browse through. Or you can simply upload your own keepsake memory for his office space. Either way, dad is going to be thrilled with his canvas print.
Shaving Set
There's nothing like giving dad the gift of a close shave for father's day. And no, I'm not talking about taking him to a barber. Even better, how about a close shave at home with Harry's Truman Shaving Set – $15 that comes with everything dad needs to get started.
Harry's Truman shaving set features weighted core and textured rubber grip handle with three German-engineered blade cartridges, each with a flex hinge and lubricating strip. The set also includes foaming shave gel and protective cover for his blades for when dad is on the go.
Not Just An Ordinary Wallet
A wallet seems like a practical gift for dad for father's day, but how about a wallet that keeps his cards protected as well as allows him to track where it is, just in case he manages to misplace it? Pretty groovy, right? Ekster brand wallets for men and women have just that solution with their handmade tailored genuine leather wallets that are one of a kind.
Ekster Wallets have a sleek and refined design that is sure to make dad stand out. With RFID protection, he never has to worry about his identity or information being stolen. That along with the fact there is a built-in tracker that will help dad locate the precise location of his wallet. You can't go wrong!
Best Pot of Coffee Ever!
Wake dad up in the morning on father's day with a fresh cup of delicious roasted coffee with the Hamilton Beach 12-cup Coffee / Hot Water Dispenser. Brews 4 to 12 perfect cups of hot piping coffee or hot water for tea if dad enjoys having a herbal beverage. Using a standard cone filter that goes hand in hand with Melita No 4. gluten free and compost free allowing more flavor. This coffee maker is absolutely the bomb!
Some quick perks are the pause and serve, plus two separate reservoirs so that you always have the coffee you want and the hot water you need, and a two-hour automatic shut-off. Now, dad can enjoy the oatmeal he wants for breakfast without waiting for the water to boil, and some hot chocolate in the winter with the family sitting around the fire.
Help Him Stay Connected with Style!
Give dad the gift of peace of mind and connection to his family and friends with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 42 mm (black) with smartphone connectivity. With a million 3D watch faces to choose from and waterproof up to 50 meters, now dad can stay connected with the ones he loves.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch becomes his workout partner and personal assistant to help throughout his day. With smart home control and easy Bluetooth integrity with LTE support, the Galaxy Watch is a coach, wellness and fitness instructor that allows you to go hands-free, view and respond to texts and emails and much more!
Much Needed Relaxation and Relief
At the end of the day, dads are our heroes. They are the ones who stand up for us, protect us, provide for us, along with moms of course. And just like moms – dads get sore and need a little bit of help and maybe even some pampering in the relaxation department.
Dr. Teals Epsom salt & Foaming Bath with Shea Butter and Almond oil is the perfect solution to help soothe dads aching joints and pains and to help take his stress away. Whether he's bathing or just to relax, Dr. Teal's is here to make dad's life easier by adding antioxidants to his skin and providing relief of inflammation against acne, aches and joint pain, eczema, revitalizing his achy muscles while nourishing his skin. Something he'll love you for!

How do you like to get exercise? The answer isn't necessarily important as long as you're getting some.

THE BENEVOLENT OTHER (an exercise from the proprietary writing course, Writing for Wellness, in perspective taking)
Write from the perspective of someone/some entity, real or imagined, who loves you unconditionally and shows you unlimited positive regard — what would they say to you about your current situation?
20 min max
Stop where you are at, on or at 20 min., or stop when you feel finished, if before 20 min. Work at your own pace.
What have you prioritized in this piece? Why? What have you omitted and why? What themes, motifs, or archetypes are most salient or that reveal themselves?
Any insights gained?
In this exercise, you are deconstructing a dominant narrative, in this case, negative self-talk, by having to address your Self from a positive point of view.
A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS (an exercise from a 10-week customized course designed to provoke a short-term mood boost)
For the duration of the three months we will be working together you will be filling out a mood chart on a daily basis. This is meant to help you track your moods and what affects them so you can anticipate them and exercise better control or stability.
In CBT there are pleasure activities and mastery activities. They combat the all-or-nothing thinking of depression by highlighting small and/or incremental successes. Please schedule one of these and invite a friend along. It will make you more accountable and likely to go. Over the course of the days following, as you track your mood, see if this affects it for the positive, neutral, or negative, to know what to repeat or avoid in your self-care.
For example, if you have had trouble getting out of the house lately but you love being by the lake, book coffee time with your best mate by the lake and enjoy the sound of the waves rushing in and the smell of the water and the sun shining and glimmering off of it. This is a pleasure activity. Sometimes we are so busy or down we forget about or deny ourselves pleasure and small indulgences.
You could also invite a friend to a workshop, lecture or course, planting flowers in a community garden, doing yoga together, going fishing etc. and this would be a mastery activity. You would be refining skills and bonding at the same time. Social inclusion and feeling useful or purposeful are among the most essential factors in recovery.

Our lil' Peanut could get here any day now, at 37 weeks she's considered full term. I read a little factoid yesterday that said 95% of all births occur 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the official due date….Her due date is October 31st.
I ain't even gonna lie, Grammy is scared shitless. There….I've said it. I feel ill prepared….
I'm completely ready to be The Grammy, to welcome her and completely surrender myself to worshipping at her teensy little chubby feet. It's the getting her here that has my stomach in knots.
I've given birth twice, both times completely naturally. I know how all that works. However I've never been on this side of the birthing table….I honestly think I prefer being with the one with her legs in the stirrups, at least then I knew what my job was…Grunt. Push. Holler. splloooosh splopppp…BABY! My role was clearly defined. Now?? Not so much…
My Mom drove me nuts when I was in labor…the fussing, the "oh my poor baby-s", the fretting, the wringing of hands….nobody needs that when they're trying to expel another human from their body. I had to make my poor Brother wrangle her out into the waiting room and hold her down in there til it was over. I don't want to be that Mom…
Britt wants me in the delivery room with her. So do I hold her hand, not hold her hand?? Watch what's going on down there or focus on her head?? Coach? Cheer? How much is too much? How much is not enough?? She's not going to know what she needs, she's a rookie. I'm supposed to be the experienced one! Do I go all Shirley MacLain from "Terms of Endearment" on the staff's asses or let them do their job?? Who knows best, me or them?? Auuuughhhhhhh!
Help me.
And what if, God forbid, there are complications? Stay with my child, or stay with her child?? Who needs me more, the Momma or the Baby??
I need a friggin' manual. Seriously. Does anybody know of one??
I googled ways to be supportive in the labor/delivery room (all aimed at the Dad to be) and my "Grammy" hospital bag is packed with the recommended items and already in the truck…I was thrilled *insert eye roll* to read one thing recommended repeatedly; "don't let your Mother-in-law in the room"….that crap better not apply to Mama's too! I was invited dammit…I reckon I'm as ready as I can be…
I hate feeling helpless.

Which Are the Best Translation Apps in 2020?
If you're traveling abroad, doing business in a foreign country, or looking to brush up on your language skills, the best language translation apps are the way to go. They're an invaluable tool that'll help you make headway much faster than your old style phrasebook, and they can make it so much easier to become fluent. We're going to make sure you find the perfect fit for you by taking a look at everything you need to know. Here goes…
When would you need translation apps?
They're really useful for a whole number of different reasons. You might be studying a foreign language at school or university and looking for someone to practice with. Perhaps you're traveling abroad and want to upgrade your phrasebook. Or you might need one to communicate with new colleagues and collaborators at work. No matter why you need one, all that matters is you find an app that you are comfortable using. Once you find one, you're already well on your way to speaking like a native.
How do translation apps work?
There's a number of different options you need to think about. Some only do text-to-text translation which is ideal if you're studying for a test or exam. Others are built for the real world and allow you to speak directly into the microphone and have text displayed in the foreign language. There are also text apps that use the camera to read foreign language text and then translate it back into your native language. These are especially popular with people traveling to countries that use different alphabets and characters.
The best translation apps you need to know
No article on voice translation apps would be complete without a few recommendations, so that's exactly what you'll find next. Take a look at what we think, give it some thought, and pick the right fit for you.
iTranslate Voice
It's been one of the best translation apps for Android and iOS for a long time now, and it's not hard to see why. The great thing about iTranslate is it covers text-to-speech and voice-to-voice translation from the same user interface. This allows you to communicate naturally with the people around you, and it takes the stress out of thumbing through your phrasebook.
With a name like that is it any wonder SayHi has made it onto our list of the apps you need to know about? It has the option to choose a male or a female voice (something which will help with your pronunciation) and it claims an impressive 95% accuracy rating when detecting speech. There are 90 languages currently supported which far exceeds most apps other than Google Translate — ideal if you want a single download you can use anywhere in the world.
It is worth knowing that a number of the languages are text-only, but that new features and languages are being added all the time. Lastly, if you're looking for translation apps, offline functionality is also worth considering. It's not included with SayHi, but the next entry on our list provides it.
This app offers offline translation which is ideal when you're traveling because it means you don't have to be connected to WiFi to reap the benefits. It specializes in translating Chinese, Korean, and Japanese characters using the camera as the interface. This means all you have to do is point it at what you want to read and it'll display the corresponding English text for you. Just what you need when you're traveling to Beijing or Tokyo for business.
If you want to have the benefits of a phrasebook and a voice translator then this is the way to go. The user interface is easy to use and intuitive, whilst the additional cultural background and international dialing options it provides really do come in handy. This all makes it a great choice for students and travelers who want to immerse themselves in the local culture during an extended stay.
Read also: Different challenges we face when translating idioms.
Anything else you need to know?
Whether you're traveling or studying you want to make sure you don't rely too heavily on your translation app. It's a great tool to help you out whilst you're still learning a language, but you don't want it to become your go-to forever.

Regular Jewel Case Edition
Just when you thought you had seen and heard everything, Thy Antichrist shows up.
The US based Black Metallers have been building an important fan base around the world since 1998 and are now thirsting to escape the clutches of the underground. Their appearance at the 2015 edition of the "70.000 Tons Of Metal" cruise speaks volumes about their efforts towards this goal. Their previous releases are held in high esteem by European experts. Thy Antichrist music and performance is unique into the Black Metal genre, especially for the new album. The band has handcrafted a sui generis style into the live performance and music respecting the old traditional metal influence of different metal genres such as thrash metal, heavy metal, death metal and of course the Black Metal touch. Now it's time for Wrath Of The Beast! Icy guitar cascades with a distinctive Scandinavian black metal character melt into thrashy nuances and progressive insanity normally reserved for the likes of the legendary Voivod.
Pure dissonance and seething fury meets experimental songwriting and the end result is a blasphemous gem!

Panthers repeat victory against McIntosh
September 13, 2018
On Tuesday, the Mill defeated McIntosh for the second time this season 3-0 in a game that relied on performances from two stellar pitchers.
"[Freshman Lilli Backes] has stepped up all year, I thought she was a little tired there," head coach Mark Williamson said. "Lilli said she was good and I trust her to tell me the truth."
For the Lady Panthers, Backes pitched six strikeouts total, while battling sophomore pitcher Rebecca Muh who had 11 strikeouts overall. Backes also contributed one of the two RBIs for the game hitting in junior Jolie Lester. Lester added an RBI of her own. The last run was scored by sophomore Lauren Flanders.
"I just know that I have good defense behind me," Backes said. "And that I can be a little more lenient and they will have my back."
The top of the first inning went by quickly with only four batters stepping up to the plate. However, the bottom of the inning changed the pace of the game. Flanders led off with a hit into the outfield. After she made it to second base, the ball was overthrown, allowing her to advance to third where the ball was overthrown once again sending Flanders home for the first run of the game.
Lester was walked to first, and while Backes was at the plate, Lester stole second base. Backes then hit a double that sent Lester home, scoring the second run for the team. Despite Panther offensive advances, Muh managed to throw two strikeouts this inning.
"As soon as you see it on the ground, just take a shot," Flanders said. "I had some time to run a little bit."
In the second inning, only one player managed to make it onto a base. Sophomore Ashlyn Gaines hit a single for the Lady Chiefs in the top of the inning. In the bottom of the inning, Muh pitched two strikeouts while the third out came from a fast throw to first base.
The third inning followed the same tempo with junior Chief Brooke Burnette being the only player to make it on base. In the bottom of the inning, Muh once again threw two strikeouts to send the game to the fourth inning.
Sydney [Blair] probably had 0-2 and then saw five more pitches. That's a quality at bat."
— head coach Mark Williamson
After two short innings, Gaines hit a double into the outfield, but was quickly followed by two outs to end the top of the 4th. In the bottom of the inning, the Lady Panthers had two runners on base. Lester stole third base, and senior Wakana Sato stole second while senior Alyssa Angelo was at bat. The last out was a quick throw to first base getting Angelo out while Lester and Sato run for home.
"We preach quality at bats. Sydney probably had 0-2 and then saw five more pitches. That's a quality at bat," Williamson said. "That makes the pitcher throw probably 150 or 180 pitches tonight."
The top of the fifth seemed to follow the pattern set by the rest of the game where batters struggled to get on base. However, in the bottom of the inning, Lester batted freshman Sydney Blair home on a single that sent Flanders to third base. Lester stole second base while Backes was up to the plate. Then Backes hit a pop fly that was caught in the outfield to end the inning. The energy was killed in the sixth inning, which consisted of six batters up and six batters down. The inning ended with Muh throwing her eighth and ninth strikeouts of the game.
At the end of the game, McIntosh was attempting to wear down Backes and make her throw as many pitches as possible. In the top of the seventh, the pressure was put on the defense to make fast plays. That call was answered with one strikeout, one fast throw to second base, and the last out was a diving catch at the edge of the infield by Flanders.
"I know I have a lot of good players behind me," Flanders said. "So I know I can take chances like that."
Currently, the Mill has only given up one run in region play and sits as the No. 1 seed in region 3-AAAAA. The Lady Panthers are 16-1 overall and 8-0 in the region. McIntosh now holds the No. 3 seed with an overall record of 6-12 and 5-4 in the region.
Today's game at Jonesboro was canceled. The Lady Panthers travel this weekend to play in the Morgan County Invitational on Sept. 14 and 15 before hosting Whitewater on Sept. 18. A win against the Wildcats would all but seal the regular season region title for the Lady Panthers.

"How instinctive it is to man to think he has found the solution to his problems." (Carron, The Religious Sense)
How many times have I found the answer to all of life's problems? Some quick fix that'll bring me joy today, or some cause to bring me passion. I am constantly searching for the thing that will make me whole. Aren't we all? I need to remember to take a step back and realize that I was made for more, so this constant fight with destiny is only natural. But none of these quick fixes are going to help e come face to face with my destiny. Only Him who has the answers to my problems can bring me to that encounter.
Have you ever tried to solve all of your problems at once?

Wednesday Wins for Fox, Sox
By Joel Meyer
The Chicago White Sox and the Fox broadcast network were both winners on Wednesday night. The Sox outlasted the Houston Astros to win their first World Series championship in 88 years, and Fox beat the other networks in prime time.
Fox averaged a 5.4/15 in prime time among 18-to-49-year-old viewers, according to Nielsen overnight data. The game itself racked up a 6.6/18, airing opposite a mix of new fare and reruns on Fox's competitors.
Like the Sox, who swept the Astros in four games, Fox swept all three hours of Wednesday's prime time, perhaps due in part to ABC's airing of a Lost rerun.

The Grand Army of Glantri AC 1000-1014by Michael Berry
The Grand Army of Glantri was a rather grandiose moniker attached to the standing army of Glantri of AC 1000. It consisted of 8 divisions each commander by a Prince of Glantri. The divisions were all uniform in makeup consisting of 5 banners; a logistics banner, a mage banner, a cavalry banner, and two mounting infantry banners. A full strength Glantrian division consisted of approximately 950 men of all ranks. Thus the Grand Army of Glantri, some 7,600 men scattered throughout the country, represented approximately 0.9% of the total population of Glantri. Compared to some other nations in AC 1000 this percentage was quite low.
Thyatis: 62,230/3,001,000 = 2.1%
Darokin: 35,870/1,250,000 = 2.9%
Karomeikos: 7,968/350,000 = 2.2%
Ethengar: 9,468/330,000 = 2.9%
Many theories have been proposed in the years after Great War as to why Glantri had such a small standing army. The most widely held view is that the pre-Great War Glantri simply felt secure and felt its two hostile neighbors, the humanoids of the Broken Lands, and the Ethengarians simply did not pose a great threat to Glantri. The humanoids were thought to not be capable of engaging in anything larger than raids into Glantri, and the very real threat of invasion from the steppes of Ethengar was mitigated by the substantial natural and manmade defensive works that would channel any invasion into easy to contain choke points. At the heart of the confidence of the Glantrians however was the belief in the superiority of their troops to any invaders. Prince Jagger was once overhead telling Bruce Heard from the Glantri City Times that 'Our military forces are rather few in number but the quality of the troops more than makes up for the size. Because of the infusion of highly trained spellcasters in our ranks, the Grand Army is one of the most effective in the known world.' Perhaps Mr. Heard could have mentioned to Prince Jagger that only 12% of the OOB of a Glantrian Division was actually made up of spellcasters, and low level spellcasters at that, but even if he had it was evident that a firm sense of superiority was firmly ingrained in the proud, almost arrogant, pre-Great War Glantrian High Command. However the Great War was to show them just how wrong their assumptions were, with tragic consequences to Glantri.
Glantri goes to war- AC 1004
Tensions between Glantri and Alphatia escalated sharply in the summer of 1004 after seemingly without provocation, or any evidence, Alphatia accused Glantri of harboring Entropic Immortals and practicing forbidden magic. Soon after that, events proceeding rapidly that stretched Alphatian-Glantrian relations to the breaking point. A party of Glantrian emissaries was accused of murdering Torenal, who was father to some of Empress Eriadna's children and commander of her elite guard. Serena Aendyr, wife of Prince Volospin was murdered along with several others in Glantri City by Alphatians in retaliation. Relations finally came to a head when a party of Glantrian emissaries who escaped captivity after being accused of burning temples in Alphatia set a fire in the city of Aasla to cover their escape. The fire unfortunately grew into an out of control firestorm which consumed the city, half its population and much of Alphatia's sky-ship armada. After a quick investigation Alphatia issued a proclamation of war against Glantri on Nuwmont 2 1005. However the very next day Thyatis and Heldann declared war on Alphatia and thus what has today known to have been The Great War began.
Within a week of the declaration of war the Glantrian Legislature passed a measure that called for expansion of the Grand Army of Glantri to 60 divisions. A mandatory draft was considered but not needed as volunteers flooded recruitment stations. Concurrent measures were passed in the Council of Princes which officially made Prince Jaggar, the peacetime Warden of the Marches, the Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of Glantri, and also stripped Princess Carlotina of her position as Chamberlain of the Land giving the title to Prince Jagger to further empower him in defense of the nation. Prince Jagger organized the Grand Army into 8 Armies. Divisions, including the 8 pre-war divisions were numbered 1-60 and organized as follows:
1st Army (Zveroboj) - The 6th (formerly Morphail's Div), 16th, 19th, 28th, 32nd, 40th, 47th, and 56th Divisions
2nd Army (Lijfwacht de Bergdhoven) - The 3rd (formerly Vanserie's Div), 11th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 45th, and 54th Divisions
3rd Army (Morin Ayanga) - The 5th (formerly Jherek's Div), 13th, 26th, 33rd, 37th, 42nd, 51st, and 58th Divisions
4th Army (Ejército de Belcadiz) - The 2nd (formerly Carnelia's Div), 10th, 25th, 30th, 36th, 43rd, 49th, and 53rd Divisions
5th Army (The South Shield) - The 7th (formerly Volospin's Div), 8th (formerly Carlotina's Div), 15th, 44th, 52nd, and 59th Divisions
6th Army (Die Jäger) - The 1st (formerly Jaggar's Div), 14th, 20th, 29th, 34th, 39th, 46th, and 55th Divisions
7th Army (La Légion) - The 12th, 27th, 31st, 35th, 38th, 41st, 57th, and 60th Divisions
8th Army (The West End Boys) - The 4th (formerly Brannart's Div), 9th, 17th, 24th, 48th, and 50th Divisions
While the Glanrian Army expanded substantially in 1005, even with 60 divisions it only represented a increase to approximately 6% of the growing Glantrian population (estimated to have increased to near 900,000 souls by 1005). It has been vigorously debated whether the Grand Army should have been expanded to an even larger force, as it was forced to later in 1009, but in this authors opinion it was a reasonable decision. Even with the substantial increase in division and manpower it still represented a rather small overall percentage of the overall population and due to the substantial increase in revenue due to improved tax collection with the newly created dominions in previously free territories it was financially viable as it was assumed that Alphatia and Thyatis would be fighting each other for quite some time. Many even wondered if Alphatia would ever reach the continent when the frontlines on the Isle of Dawn became stalled in late 1005 after some initial Alphatian victories.
Due to the intervention of Thyatis and the destruction of the Alphatian sky-fleet the immediate threat of invasion was deemed not likely for several years so Prince Jagger ordered a concentrated deployment of the divisions to concentrate on the training of the newly raised divisions to use the time Thyatis was buying to bring them up to veteran status in the case Alphatia did ever make it all the way to Glantri. Prince Jagger ordered the armies into the following locations and created a new level of command structure, creating Army Groups in the probable axes of Alphatian advance.
Army Group North was established with its Headquarters at Rymskigrad and contained the 1st, 2nd, and 6th Armies and commanded by Prince Morphail. The 1st and 2nd were stationed at Fort Tchernovodsk, the 6th at Fort Nordling.
Army Group Center was established with its Headquarters at Skullhorn Pass Camp and contained the 3rd and 7th Armies and was commanded by Prince Jherek. The 3rd Army was stationed at Bramyra Camp, the 7th Army was stationed at Skullhorn Pass Camp.
Army Group South was established with its Headquarters at Fort Monteleone and contained the 4th, 5th, and 8th Armies and was commanded by Princess Carnelia. The 4th Army was stationed at Fort Monteleone, the 5th at Huledain Camp, and the 8th at Sablestone until the spring of 1006 when the threat of invasion by the Master had passed with his defeat in Darokin. After which it was stationed in Glantri City.
During the long hot summer of 1006 and the bitter winter of 1006-1007 the Grand Army of Glantri watched closely the stalemated front lines on the Isle of Dawn and even if hoping the Alphatians would never reach Glantri dutifully settled into a vigorous training program meant to bring the newly raised divisions into fighting shape. All eyes were to the east in the spring of 1007 as the Alphatians continued to fail to reduce the Thyatin strongholds on the Isle of Dawn, and a formal alliance was concluded between Thyatis and Heldann. Optimism was rife in Glantri and morale was high but while their attention was naturally drawn far to the east where the fighting raged, a great and dire threat to Glantri grew right under their noses.
Thar's invasion of Glantri in 1007 and nearly 2 year battle to drive him out is one of the most significant and tragic events in the history of Glantri. For many years Glantrian historians have struggled to piece together the details of the events. In particular the details buildup and planning of the invasion was unknown to Glantrians and of the greatest interest as the humanoids were not considered capable of undertaking such an audacious long term operation. In the last year our understanding of it has increased substantially due to surviving humanoid commanders, now Glantrian citizens, coming forward to share their experiences and knowledge.
While the Glantrians were busy with preparations and countermeasures to defend against a possible Alphatian invasion, preparations of another sort were underway. In the spring of 1006, Thar the charismatic and intelligent King of the Broken Lands received a vision from a mysterious sorceress suggesting that Glantri was ripe for invasion. She told Thar that even though Glantri had substantially increased its military forces, it had in fact actually deployed the vast majority of their forces in the eastern third of the country and very few forces were defending the southwest part of the nation and very few forces were between him and Glantri City. Thar eagerly took the suggestion and began his own preparations for war. Thar spent the next year preparing his underling Chiefs for war, and at the same time rallying to his side other humanoid tribes outside of the Broken Lands. By the spring of 1007 Thar had completed his preparations, informed his commanders of his plans and set the date for the invasion of Glantri.
Thar's strategy was dictated by the Glantrian Army deployments, long since confirmed by scouts. Facing him to the north in late spring 1007 was Princess Carnelia's Army Group South, a very strong force of three field armies, but the group was divided into three widely separated groups. West of the Broken Lands at Camp Huledain Volospin's 5th Army defended the southwest of Glantri. The force at Huledain was short a division as the veteran 8th (Carlotina's) Division had recently been redeployed to Erewan to placate Princess Carlotina who had for several years had harangued the Council and Prince Jagger about the lack of forces protecting her Principality. At Huledain Camp was only one veteran division with four green divisions. It was a force of less than 5 thousand men with no natural defenses and little man-made to help augment their numbers. Thar wisely decided to avoid the direct route into Glantri through Erewan, which was now reinforced by a veteran and powerful Elven division and had on its own volition raised numerous militia units which Princess Carlotina commanded to protect her lands. To the north of Thar lay the nearly impregnable Fort Monteleone and the powerful, and largely Belcadizian, 4th Army. Far to the north, in Glantri City was the 8th Army, which was well located to support a defense of the Nyra or Erewan regions but was separated by some distance and several rivers from the relatively isolated 5th Army and southwestern Glantri. Here is where Thar decided to concentrate his offensive.
Thar's plan was predicated on surprise and then defeating the Glantrian armies piecemeal and reaching Glantri City before the Glantrian Army could be concentrated. Not known publicly until very recently was confirmation by Prince Kol, that there was some level of Alphatian involvement for soon after the mysterious sorceress came to Thar, a group of Alphatian mages soon arrived in the Broken Lands and though never discovered, as they were disguised as humanoids, they provided Thar a strong passive magical arm that especially helped in the initial stages with screening and reconnaissance to achieve the absolutely vital and needed strategic surprise in the first days and weeks of the invasion. Thar assumed that if he could achieve surprise and keep Glantri unaware of the full scale of the attack, lead them to think it was a raid not a full out invasion, a full concentration would be slow and even then likely not in full to oppose him. Glantri still had to fully man its eastern defenses as it was still at war with Alphatia. Though Alphatia's sky ship navy was weak, it had been slowing rebuilding over the last 3 years and was thought to be capable of a direct invasion if Glantri left the direct approaches weak or defenseless.
Thar set his date for invasion as the first day the first day of Yarthmont. His forces assembled were for years a matter of great debate and disagreement in Glantri. Today we believe we have the most accurate and detailed breakdown of the force Thar assembled. The most up to date research has the force Thar assembled at just over 50,000 troops. From the Broken Lands Thar was able to assemble a force of approximately 30,250 humanoids. From outside the Broken Lands he brought in an additional 20,000 humanoid troops. They break down as follows:
Bugbears - 2,000 in total: 1,500 from the Broken Lands; 500 from neighboring areas. Broken into 4 hordes of 500 Bugbears.
Goblins - 5,000 in total: 3,000 from the Broken Lands; 2,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 5 hordes of 1000 Goblins.
Hobgoblins - 4,500 in total: 2,500 from the Broken Lands; 2,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 9 hordes of 500 Hobgoblins.
Kobolds - 10,000 in total: 7,500 from the Broken Lands; 2,500 from neighboring areas. Broken into 4 hordes of 2,500 Kobolds
Ogres - 2,500 in total: 1,500 from the Broken Lands; 1,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 5 hordes of 500 Ogres.
Common Orcs - 10,000: 5,000 from the Broken Lands; 5,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 10 hordes of 1000 Common Orcs.
Red Orcs - 4,000: 3,000 from the Broken Lands; 1,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 4 hordes of 1000 Red Orcs.
Yellow Orcs - 3,000: 2,000 from the Broken Lands; 1,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 3 hordes of 1000 Yellow Orcs
Gnolls - 4,000: 2,000 from the Broken Lands; 2,000 from neighboring areas. Broken into 4 hordes of 1000 Gnolls
Trolls - 1,000: 500 from the Broken Lands; 500 from neighboring areas.
Broken into 10 hordes of 100 Trolls.
Lizard Men - 2000: 500 from the Broken Lands; 1500 from neighboring areas. Combined into 2 hordes of 1000 Lizard Men.
Troglodytes - 1500: 500 from the Broken Lands; 1000 from neighboring areas. Combined into 1 horde of 1500 Troglodytes.
Thar's Legion 750 - : 150 orcs, 50 Red Orcs, 100 Kobolds, 100 mounted Goblins, 50 Hobgoblins, 50 Gnolls, 50 Bugbears, 25 Ogres, 50 Lizard Men, 25 Hill Giants, 50 Human Mercenaries, and 50 Alphatian Wizards.
Thar's strategy hinged on not a massed assault into Glantri, but a attack in waves in which he hoped to keep the Glantrians unaware of the full scale of the assault and unaware of the true numbers of the size of his army. In the weeks before the attack Thar deployed his troops into 5 separate groups and gave them their individual orders.
Group 1 was commanded personally by King Thar and made up the main body of Thar's army. It consisted of: Thar's Legion, 5 hordes of Common Orcs, 3 hordes of Goblins, 5 hordes of Trolls, 2 hordes of Lizard Men, 3 hordes of Hobgoblins, 3 hordes of Yellow Orcs, and 4 hordes of Red Orcs. It totaled some 19,750 humanoids. Its initial orders were to quickly penetrate into Glantri between Erewan and Huledain Camp and capture the Principalities of Blackhill and Caurenze for use as staging areas for the deeper invastion of Glantri.
Group 2 was commanded by the Gnoll Nizam Pasha of South Gnollistan and consisted of 4 hordes of Gnolls, 6 hordes of Hobgoblins, and 4 hordes of Bugbears. It totaled some 9,000 humanoids. Its initial orders were to raid into Erewan and the Nyra Free Province shortly after Group 1 stepped off and tie down Erewanese and Belcadizian forces and keep them from engaging Group 1.
Group 3 was commanded by the Kobold High Doge Kol and consisted of 3 hordes of Ogres, 2 hordes of Kobolds, and 5 hordes of Trolls. It totaled some 7,000 humanoids. Its initial orders were advance with Group 1, covering its southern flank and to engage and destroy the Glantrian 5th Army possibly in conjunction with Group 1 if the 5th Army moved against Group 1.
Group 4 was commanded by the Kobold Generalismo Zar and consisted of 1 horde of Kobolds, 2 hordes of Ogres, 1 horde of Troglodytes. It totaled some 5,000 humanoids. Its initial orders were to assault the Silver Sierra Free Province and Blackhill from the southwest and was under orders to not to come out of the mountains and show itself Group 1 had crossed the Huledain River and entered Blackhill.
Group 5 was commanded by the Orc chieftain Hogur of the Dwarfgate Mountains and consisted of 5 hordes of Common Orcs, 2 hordes of Goblins, and 1 horde of Kobolds. It totaled some 9,500 humanoids. Its initial orders were to not advance into the Broken Lands until a week before the beginning of the offensive and would then move into the southeast corner of Glantri and attack targets of opportunity, to the north in Bramyra or west to Belcadiz as the overall situation developed.
With all his preparations made, his orders given, and forces in place Thar's assault began on a completely unsuspecting Glantri on schedule on the 1st of Yarthmont in the year of 1007.

Thankfully, a short day
I got up Tuesday morning (at my usual-for-North Haven 4:35 am!) feeling somewhat more than half-dead. What had been a mildly annoying sore throat on Monday had turned overnight into something much worse. For a few minutes I debated whether to stay home for the day. I decided to tough it out, for a variety of reasons: (a) my unexpected absence could be a burden on my co-workers; (b) I'm not the sort of person who thinks it's okay to miss work unless one is in really bad shape; and (c) the nature of my job is such that if I don't work, I don't get paid for the day. As you might imagine (c) was by some margin the most significant of these …
It all turned out quite well. The trip into work was decent enough, just over two hours, but the nicest part is that due to the day's workload requirements I was done and back on the road just a little after noon. I get the full day's pay in circumstances like that, were that not the case I wouldn't have said that things turned out quite well (duh). Just as I was leaving I heard a radio traffic report of a crash on I-95, so I decided to be prudent and took the Wilbur Cross/Merritt Parkway instead. Not too far from North Haven the parkway, known as the Wilbur Cross at that point, goes through the only vehicular tunnel in Connecticut,* as it goes under the West Rock ridgeline. In fact I believe it's the only land vehicular tunnel in all of New England, the "land" proviso being because there are underwater tunnels in Boston.
Despite my early departure I thought it was going to be a lengthy trip home, as I ran into some stop-and-go traffic on the Hutchinson River Parkway (itself an extension of the Merritt/Wilbur Cross) just over the New York line. Fortunately it cleared up after just a few minutes, giving no trace of what might have caused it in the first place. The rest of the way was fairly clear sailing, and my return journey totaled about 2:20.
While I was physically in much better shape, Wednesday morning's trip to North Haven was distinctly less than pleasant. For the first half of so of the trip there was an almost constant drizzling rain, the sort where you keep having to adjust the interval setting on your windshield wipers. Just about when I crossed into Connecticut on I-95, however, the rain became much heavier. Traffic seemed unusually heavy too, and combined with the rain made for a most hair-raising drive.
I decided to take the ferry home. With only two days left in North Haven I'm not going to be faced with the ferry-or-drive choice for a while. One thing I found was that a schedule change meant that the 4:30 departure is now 4:45, not that 15 minutes makes much of a difference. It was rather cold on the top deck, but I stuck it out for much of the journey. As it was now a clear day, I decided to take inventory of what things on land one can see from the water. Even when the ferry is close to the Connecticut shore, 15 miles from Long Island, several landmarks are visible: the three smokestacks of the power station in Port Jefferson (the ferry's destination), the four smokestacks of another power station in Northport, Stony Brook University Hospital, a soon-to-be-demolished highrise building at the abandoned Kings Park mental hospital (fertile territory for urban explorers), and most infamously, the multi-billion-dollar-but-never-opened Shoreham nuclear power plant. That ridiculous boondoggle is part of the reason why Long Island's electric rates are among the highest in the country.
When near the Long Island shore, some of the buildings in downtown Bridgeport are visible, along with the enormous smokestack of a power station located right next to the Bridgeport ferry dock. The "Sleeping Giant" range of hills north of New Haven can be seen, though the lay of the land prevents the taller buildings in downtown New Haven from being visible. Off to the west one can see some of the buildings in Stamford and (just barely) New Rochelle. Manhattan is over the horizon.
Occupying myself thusly, the ferry ride was over almost before I knew it. Best of all, my car was one of the very first off.
* = the Whitehead Highway in Hartford, a short spur off of I-91, goes through what may seem like a tunnel but is really just a very long underpass.
