JTBC is now dropping little teasers for its upcoming new drama "Snowdrop." These previews are hyping the series, making the wait for BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Jung Hae-in more thrilling.
JTBC drops an attention-grabbing poster for the latest teaser, featuring "Snowdrop" complete lead cast. Aside from the lead stars Jung Hae-in and Jisoo, fans are about to see more.
Of course, the 26-year-old singer and the actor take the center spot as the main characters. They all donned black and white outfits that made the series look more enigmatic.
These two would later transform into mysterious characters, named Lim Su-ho (Jung Hae-in) and Eun Young-Ro (Jisoo), AllKpop noted. Also in the image is Yoo In-na, who will play the role of Kang Chung-ya, the girl-crush surgeon.

Yoon Se-ah is also part of the cast member as Pi Seung-hee, the studious director of the student housing. In addition, fans will see Kim Hye-yoon as the telephone girl Kye Bun-ok and Jang Seung-jo as the police chief Lee Kang Moo.
Others who will be seen in "Snowdrop" are Jung Yoo-jin as the police officer Jang Han-na, Heo Jun-ho as Eun Chang-soo, Park Sung-woong as Name Tae II, Jung Hye-young as Jo Jung-shim and Jung Yi-seo as Shin Kyung-ja, among others. With this list of stars, the drama producers said one of the key points of the show was its dynamic characters who will be played by some of South Korea's greatest actors, per Soompi.
Meanwhile, to continue the hype, JTBC also unveiled the first stills of the drama, featuring Lim Su-ho and Eun Young-ro's first meeting. This encounter showed the troubled face of Jisoo's character as she looked cautiously at the guy in front of her, via Pink Villa.
His back was in full view and he put his hands at the sides of her arms. The next snap showed Lim Su-ho, who had a worried expression on his face while embracing the woman in front of him.
For the last snap, the on-screen couple was in the same frame as Eun Young-Ro seemed to look for some answers on Lim Su-ho's face. From here, their journey on first love, betrayal and heartbreak would begin.
"Snowdrop" tells the story of the college student, Eun Young-ro, who will hide an injured man, Lim Su-ho, in her dorm room. The two will eventually develop romantic feelings for each other amid a politically difficult time. Fans will soon see Jisoo and Jung Hae-in together when this new JTBC drama premieres on Dec. 18 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

Scott Turner: The White House's Vision for Opportunity Zones
How can the resources of the Federal government be leveraged to help deliver generational impact to Opportunity Zone communities?
Scott Turner is the newly appointed executive director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council — a group of cabinet members and White House officials charged with coordinating Federal agency efforts to magnify the impact of investments in Opportunity Zones.

Executive Order on Establishing the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council -
On December 12, 2012, President Trump signed an Executive Order establishing the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. The Council will engage with all levels of government on ways to better use taxpayer dollars to revitalize low-income communities. The Council will improve revitalization efforts by streamlining, coordinating, and targeting existing Federal programs to economically distressed areas, including Opportunity Zones.
2019 Legislative Conference: Making Sense of New Federal Funding Tools: Opportunity Zones and Pay for Success - The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 included provisions to incentivize results-driven investments in economic development in communities across the country. Join this interactive workshop to learn more about Opportunity Zones and the Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA) and what counties need to do to access and leverage these new funding streams.
Community Development Archives from the National Housing & Rehabilitation Association - NH&RA is a professional association of affordable housing and multifamily owners, developers and professionals. Our primary mission is to help our members expand their businesses and create value through business-to-business exchange, time-sensitive transaction-oriented education, the fostering of new business relationships and targeted issue advocacy.
The White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council - The Opportunity Zone tax incentive is a powerful new tool meant to bring private capital to under-served communities. However, economically distressed communities require more than private capital alone. Many of these communities are in need of public-sector support and regulatory streamlining to ensure they develop the foundations necessary to support a
thriving private sector. Public investment in economic development, entrepreneurship, education and workforce training, and safe neighborhoods — along with guidance for engaging with investors and entrepreneurs — will help communities unlock private capital to create sustainable growth. This public-sector investment serves as a means by which to attract and continue the flow of private capital-investment into Opportunity Zones.
Implementation Plan for the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council - Implementation Report to the President in accordance with Executive Order 13853 "Establishing the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council." This report outlines the plan of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council (Council) to implement administrative reforms and initiatives that will target, streamline, coordinate, and optimize Federal resources in economically distressed communities to stimulate economic development, encourage entrepreneurship, expand educational and workforce development opportunities, and promote safe neighborhoods.
The Education Opportunity in Opportunity Zones - More than 8,700 newly created Opportunity Zones are now racing to attract a portion of the $6 trillion in capital that may flow under a provision of the new tax law enacted in 2017. The law uses a package of tax incentives to jump-start economic development in distressed communities by financing local startups, building small businesses, or developing properties—but there are also opportunities for education institutions and workforce-development programs.

BugE - More than a bike, less than a car: The LiFeMnPO4 pack and BMS arrives. What next?
Note: This BMS system is no longer sold by Elite Power but it may still be available from other companies.
The batteries, charger and BMS came in two boxes. One was for the charger (large white box) and the other box had everything else in it. The batteries have removable purple covers. There is extra room in them. So, it's likely the tiny BMS boards can be installed under the covers to make the wiring look nice. Each set of four cells came pre-connected with metal bands on them (as shown in yellow box). Measuring the 4-pack gave a voltage of 13.1V .
Also with the BMS kit is a small LED bar graph display (middle black thing). Also, the vendor provided a free LCD display as well. The reason it's "free" is that it has a display defect. So it works, but looks ugly. Should I want to have a better looking one, I can purchase another one later. The BMS circuit boards came pre-wired, probably because I bought a "demo" system rather than a new one. On a new system, it's likely I would need to wire each board as I found it in the string.
So, this is the "big picture" of how the battery management system should go together.
Rick Suiter, my sales rep, emailed me instructions for a 24 cell model instead of a 16 cell model but I got the general idea. Like most things, these representative images are simpler than reality.
S ince I need to make some decisions on mounting locations, I decided to lay out the components. The LED bar graph looks like it can be press-mounted into a rectangular space, perhaps somewhere on my polycarbonate dashboard. The "Control Unit" also has a mounting hole for a screw. However, the "hub" has no native way to mount it. So, I can mound it somewhere with double-back tape. Wire length may be the deciding factor on where things get mounted.
There were also some pieces that puzzled me. I got an assortment of additional metal pieces that I take to be conducting strips that work with the circuit boards. I'm also thinking having these strips will allow me to change the battery arrangement to have a wider or thinner pack.
For #4 wire you can fold the edges around the cable and crimp it with a die size one or two larger. I've done this with 4ga wire and it seems to work well. See the attached picture. Soldering is an option, but there seems to be issues in a vibration intensive environment where the solder joints can fatigue and micro crack. If you did want to solder I would crimp first then back flow solder in to the wire, that way you are not relying on the solderto hold the connection, it is just there for extra conductivity.
The other mysteries had to do with recommended interlocks to prevent the pack from being damaged from too much discharge. Looking over my parts, I found I had a mysterious small heat-shrink covered component which was the reset switch. Since it was too small to be captured by my camera, I used Sketchup to doodle out an approximate image of what the component looks like. On each end are the letters "L" and "D". So, from the response below, the "D" was supposed to be an "O".
The little black piece with L and O on it is the low voltage cut off switch. ... The L side connects to the LIN hub, the O side is your output signal. You must provide a 12 volt and ground signal to the output side per the diagram, the middle wire is your switched signal for low voltage. I attached a document for the alarm cut out, it is for another version of the hardware, but the circuit on the last page will work to amplify the signal to drive a small relay directly if it is useful to you. Our warranty requires that the low voltage cut off be connected such that it disables the vehicle if a low voltage cell occurs.
Speaking of loads, in the diagram, there are two DC-DC converters. One small one seems to be for only powering the LIN hub with "control unit". This converter apparently remains on 24/7. The other is the high capacity 12V DC/DC converter for everything else. The larger converter appears to be able to talk to the LIN hub as well.
If a lithium cell either exceeds it's temperature or falls below a safe voltage, the BMS should "disable the vehicle" automatically. To do this, Rick offered the following suggestion.
In most cases the alarm switch signal will be used to drive a relay which will either break an enable signal to the vehicle main controller or break the power to a main contactor coil. Since the 5 milliamp signal is typically insufficient to directly drive a relay the below circuit can be used to amplify the output signal enough to drive a relay coil.
However, warranty or not, it's safety first. I don't have a problem with the traction motor loosing power if the pack reaches it's discharge state. However, if I'm gliding to the side of the road, my BugE needs hazard lights to warn the other drivers behind me that this BugE is goin' down!
So, how can I provide power to lights while the main pack recovers? Well, I need to re-think the decision of having a single DC-DC converter versus having a small 12V battery, charged with a 12v DC/DC converter. With Optima batteries, I think having a converter with no separate battery is the best approach. It's proven to be simple and effective. However, with a fussy lithium pack, a supplemental 12V battery is needed. So, this will require some changes to the wire harness to add a battery, charger, charge regulator and interlock. Then, there will be the challenge of finding a place on the BugE to mount a small motorcycle or gel cell battery. As they say, nothing is simple.
As for where to mount the other components, it looks like the LED bar graph could be mounted on the transparent dashboard where the existing 48V meter is. I could mount the larger LCD display on the dashboard as well. However, given the condition of my "free" display, it's likely I'll only use it for testing but not for everyday driving. So, I'll probably Velcro that display to the glove box area so it can be easily removed when not needed.

When it comes to making soap, I love to experiment. But I learned a long time ago that some substitutions can't be done without a lot of calculating. Then again, some are really easy!
Soap making is an exact science. You need to have just the right amount of oil to react with just the right amount of lye mixed with water. If you have too much oil, your soap will be soft and never get really hard. It can be greasy, too. If you don't have enough oil, your soap will be hard and most likely too alkaline, which makes it harsh on the skin. So how do you know what you can substitute? Just use the same amount of the same oils and water…with a few adjustments.
You can start with the same oils and infuse them with herbs. I use sunflower, safflower or grapeseed oil for my infusions. These oils can be substituted for the "other" oil in my soap making recipe (see it here), while keeping the coconut oil and olive oil the same in the recipe.
Like oil infusions, water decoctions can carry the essence of the herb to use it in soap making. Water decoctions are simple and take far less time than oil infusions.
To make these, take a non-reactive pan, such as stainless steel, and place it on the stove. Clean and chop your herbal material and place it in the pan. Cover with filtered, distilled or rain water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for an hour or so. It's important that you keep the lid on. Any steam that comes from the water will have herbal essences in it, so you want to capture that. Steam will hit the pan lid, condense and fall back into the pan.
After an hour, turn off the heat, cool the mixture and strain the liquid. It's rather like a tea, but much stronger. Once it's completely cool, you can use it in place of the water portion of the soap making recipe. What are some herbs that work well with decoctions?
It's important to note that when you use something like roses, the scent and the color will fade once the lye hits the water. However, those wonderful skin softening benefits will remain.
Anything with alcohol will usually cause your soap to seize. That's when you start mixing and your nice soap base suddenly becomes an unmanageable lump. There isn't much you can do at this point except wait it out and use a band saw to cut it after it cures. Extracts usually contain alcohol. Don't be tempted by the delicious smell of vanilla extract, even just once. It just won't work.
Another substitution that doesn't work is milk. It doesn't matter what kind of milk you use, they all take special preparation for them to be used in soap making. (We'll talk more about milk-based soap making in the future!) If you want to add milk to your soap, used a powdered milk mixed with a bit of oil (water causes it to get lumpy) and add it when you have trace. I almost always do this with goat's milk now because it is so much easier.
The last substitution that sometimes doesn't work is using a different oil than what is recommended in your recipe. All oils have a specific "SAP value." The SAP tells you how much lye is needed in order for saponification to occur, creating a nice bar of soap. It's a complicated equation, so it's easier to say you need to stay within the same SAP range if substituting a different oil. When you get too far out of the range, you'll need more or less lye. IMPORTANT: If you do use another oil, be sure to consult a lye calculator, which can be found here or on many soap making websites.
What soap making ingredient substitutions have you tried?
Let us know about your soap making adventures – what has worked and what hasn't gone so well.
I'm not to comfortable with using lye. Is there a recipe for bar soap that doesn't sound so dangerous? I'm new to the DIY natural and so far have tried the homemade laundry soap. I love it and I want to change everything I use to homemade and natural, but using lye concerns me.
If you are going to make soap from scratch there is no other way to do it but use lye water. It really isn't hard, just follow the safety instructions. Wear long sleeves, goggles and gloves, weigh your lye carefully and add it to your water slowly. Stir and let it cool.
Yes, I have experienced minor lye burns, no they aren't fun but it's part of my learning experience, and usually happen when I am in a hurry to get the lye going before heading out for the day and forget my long sleeves. . . as long as you are really careful and patient with yourself you can do it easily and have no problems. Once you do it the first time. you will become more comfortable with it.
Take it from me, my first lye purchase was 2lbs, now I purchase 20lbs at a time or more! And it's been less than 4 months!
Dianne is right on this, Audrey, there is no other way. But like she said, don't be scared and go slow. Use safety equipment and keep vinegar nearby. I make my own "diaper wipes" by folding paper towels (the cloth type ones work best) and stacking them in a sealable container, like an old diaper wipe box. Then I pour vinegar over it and use them to counteract the lye if it comes in contact with my skin.
And I buy a lot more lye than I use to. Some places make me sign a waiver (because lye is used by drug manufacturers) but most know what I'm up to by now.
Loving these easy soap substitutions! I also love that I know exactly what's being put into them. Thanks!
I just wanted to thank you for the crockpot method email you guys sent out several weeks ago. I've heard of the crockpot method in the past but never really could find a good tutorial that had enough specific enough information. Your recipe was just the right amount to be able to sample and experiment with the crockpot method and the instructions were right on. I've made 4 different batches of soap since and each one have been a success.
Just as a previous commenter stated, I have had success with both coconut milk and goats milk frozen and in an ice bath.
I really would like to know more about using honey with the crockpot method. Even with my limited knowledge of soap making I know that honey accelerates the heat. If you ever have the opportunity I would appreciate your using this topic to further my soap making education.
Hi Casey! I've never tried honey in my crock pot soap, but I will soon and let you know how it goes. I have to tell all of you that I got called outside while I was making a batch of crock pot soap last week and it ended up cooking way too much. It was like working with plastic! And the bars turned out awful. The water never mixed in and what did mix together was soft and "ropy". I let it cure for another week, grated it, added hot water and used it in my laundry. At least it was somewhat salvageable. It taught me a lesson, though, never walk away!!
Thank you for all your hard work and information. I plan on trying to make soap soon, I've got the ingredients but not the nerve yet. Again thank you for the information.
Beware, once you get started making soap, it can easily become addicting. I started out making melt and pour last year after my husband died. Now I make Cold Process soaps and I can't keep oils in the house. I feel like I am ready to start buying in much larger quantities. It's a whole new world where being creative and having fun are the norm. Take that first step, don't be afraid, and enjoy every bar you make!
No problem, Louistean! Let me know if you have any questions once you get started. And Dianne, you're sooo right. I'm totally addicted, and I've been doing it since 1995! I'm making soap every week. Good thing too, since market time is fast approaching.
I hate to disagree with you, but I use goat milk when I make my soaps and as long as I keep it frozen and work with the milk/lye mixture in an ice bath, I don't usually have a problem making milk soap.
You're right Dianne, I shouldn't have said it was a problem. It's a different process altogether. I should have said that in the same recipe milk would need to be treated differently, as in needs to be kept at very low temperatures. Thanks for clarifying that!

Bert Jansch, the highly acclaimed and hugely influential Scottish guitarist with Pentangle, has passed away. He was 67.
Neil Young described Jansch's acoustic guitar playing as, "on the same level as Jimi Hendrix."
Young's song "Ambulance Blues" was clearly influenced by Jansch's "The Needle of Death", which they performed together at the Bridge concert in 2006 (see below).
Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page wrote "Black Mountain Side" using Jansch's instrumental "Blackwater Side", a traditional folk song.
With deep regret, Pegi and I acknowledge the passing of Bert Jansch. Pegi and I were lucky to play with him on all of our shows for the last couple of years. He is a hero of mine, and one of my greatest influences. Bert was one of the all time great acoustic guitarists and singer-songwriters. Our sincerest sympathies to his soulmate, Loren.
"He completely reinvented guitar playing and set a standard that is still unequalled today. Without Bert Jansch, rock music as it developed in the '60s and '70s would have been very different. You hear him in Nick Drake, Pete Townshend, Donovan, The Beatles, Jimmy Page and Neil Young.
There are people playing guitar who don't even realize they've been influenced by him one step removed."
Bert Jansch, the acclaimed Scottish guitarist with Pentangle, most recently toured on Neil Young's "Twisted Road" Concert Tour. Reviews of Bert were warmly received.
I hope that you appreciate and realize how lucky you are to hear Bert Jansch …When was 18, I was living in a flop house in Toronto. It was just a place i lived upstairs, with a folk singer girl and and about three or four other friends- John Kay from Steppenwolf, and a few other people - and we used to listen to Bert's records all the time, smoke some weed and stay up all night. We only had one record, so we got to know that one real well. So it's a real pleasure to play on the same stage as him.
Bert Jansch, folk icon and pioneering singer-guitarist, has passed away at the age of 67 after a long battle with cancer.
Born in Glasgow in 1943, Jansch became infatuated with the guitar at an early age, immersing himself in the sounds of Lonnie Donegan, Big Bill Broonzy, Woody Guthrie, Brownie McGhee and Pete Seeger. He cut his teeth at Roy Guest's Howff Club in Edinburgh before emerging with his self-titled debut LP in 1965.
Alongside Davy Graham, Jansch became the driving force behind the mid-'60s folk boom and his idiosyncratic playing style would go on to influence generations of guitarists from Jimmy Page and Neil Young to Johnny Marr, Bernard Butler and Graham Coxon. In 1967 he formed folk super-group Pentangle with long-time compadre John Renbourn. The band enjoyed enormous success with albums such as Basket Of Light and Solomon's Seal before splitting in 1973.
Jansch's solo career continued throughout the ensuing decades and his final, 23rd studio album, The Black Swan, appeared in 2006. A humble, reluctant star, his songs were responsible for re-defining the parameters of folk music. And his guitar playing was nothing short of magical.
MOJO's thoughts are with Bert's family and friends. He will be sorely missed.
A comprehensive look back on Bert Jansch's life and times will appear in the next issue of MOJO.
It's always very sad news when a musical icon such as Bert passes away. I had the opportunity to see him live about a year ago during the Twisted Road tour, and his skill as a guitarist and songwriter are unrivaled. His music and legacy will live on.
Of all these famous people paying homage to Bert's accomplishments, after all Bert had been through in life, the ups and downs, doesn't it give you chills knowing it was Neil (and Pegi) Young who reached out to this man at the end of his journey here on Earth?
Wow - rest in peace Bert. Thank you Neil for bringing him back out on the road for those of us fortunate enough to attend TR.
Remembering fondly the time I saw him at London's 12 Bar back in '94 or '95. I didn't really know his music at the time, but I had heard the name and saw the gig listed in Time Out, so I thought I'd check it out. What I witnessed was an evening of mesmerizing music. And that is what will live on -- his beautiful music.
I can't tell you what a huge loss to the world of music Bert's passing really is.
As a guitarist for the past 35+ years, two of my biggest influences were Neil Young and Jimmy Page. Well, it didn't take long to discover the man who had been a huge influence to both of my heroes, and I found Bert's playing to be amazingly emotive and uniquely expressive.
Every time I hammer down on a note in the midst of a chord, I will think of Bert. Each time I hear certain songs by Neil or Jimmy, I'll hear Bert's sound reverberating through the ages. He will be sorely missed.
So very sorry to hear this - another great singer/songwriter has left this world who cannot ever be replaced. His music was from the soul, his melodies and lyrics reached into your heart and made you feel, made you cry, and made you smile. He will be greatly missed, the loss of this great man cannot be underestimated. His music will live on in the hearts and minds of so many.
Condolences to his family and friends, including of course Neil and Pegi.
Oh, it was so sad to read the news of Bert's death! I'm thankful that he is no longer suffering, but is at rest now.
How thankful I am to God for Bert's life and his heart, which he poured into his music! What a great artist...truly unreplaceable!
I am also thankful that I got to sit in his presence and hear him perform live at Lincoln Center this past April...it seems so long ago!
How thankful I am also to Neil for his making available the opportunity to experience Bert and his music in the best way possible! He was truly a special guest!
I'm also thankful that Bert's music will be able to continue to be heard for generations to come!!!
Oh Marian! So glad you dropped by, I remember how much you were moved by his music when you saw him.
How he chose to live with his cancer says so more about the respect he'd come to have for this very rare gift of making beautiful music.
This gift of making music comes at people like a curse, doesn't it? At first, it makes them do crazy things. It can bring out the worst and the best in their humanity as quick as a light switch. For some, it drives them to insanity.
It is through Bert's living with cancer we discover how much he valued his gift for music & how it sustained life in him.
Even when he was staring straight into that black hole of ugly cancer, he chose life. He chose to play music. To have that much faith and focus in life and all the good things it offers is inspiring to me.
He is with God now, Marian. A person who passes through our life as quickly as he entered leaving even the tiniest message about respecting God's gift after going full circle with it is certainly with God. It was a painful journey for him, Marian, but in the end like you said, he is suffering no more. He is with God.
Thank you for your tender words of comfort.
I have always believed that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gives us. My earliest memories are of listening to music on the radio (Elvis!), and music has been my ongoing passion in life....especially Neil's music and lyrics!
Listening to the Dreaming Man album last night so warmed my heart!
I'm always grateful to Thrasher and to everyone that shares words of peace.
Marian & MNOTR - as sad as Bert's passing is, it's the sentiments that you guys expressed which make the sadness bearable and give us hope.
To know that Bert's music will live on -- hopefully for a long time -- similar to the traditional Scottish tunes he was influenced by, is truly comforting.

To say 2022 was exceptional is an understatement.
Australia has faced challenges and disruptions on a significant and unseen scale.
For the team at Disaster Relief Australia (DRA), it has been our biggest and busiest year to date.
Australia has never needed us more. In turn, we have never needed out partners and generous supporters like you more.
It is thanks to you that this year we were able to deploy teams to clean up, muck out, repair and clear the debris created by some of the worst floods ever seen in Australia.
Together, we have changed the lives of so many who lost everything and put them firmly on the road to recovery.
While we say that our volunteers are our biggest asset, we are under no illusion that without the ongoing and valued support of partners and supporters like you, we really could not do what we do. So, again, we thank you.
We sincerely hope that DRA can continue to count on your essential support in 2023 as we help communities across Australia continue to rebuild and recover. It's going to be a big year.
Until then, on behalf of Disaster Relief Australia and the communities we have assisted together, thank you to each and every one of you. I wish you a happy Christmas and a wonderful and prosperous New Year.
Geoff Evans, Chief Executive Officer

Defend the Peace Virtually Advocates for Peace with ELN
On April 17, 2020, Defend the Peace Colombia hosted a webinar that explored the prospects for peace with the ELN.
On April 17, WOLA participated in the Defend the Peace Colombia (Defendamos La Paz Colombia, DLP) webinar that explored the prospects for peace with the ELN. Following the guerrilla group's declaration of a unilateral ceasefire due to the global pandemic, hope was reawakened that this temporary truce could serve as a stepping stone for restarting peace dialogues with the ELN. DLP, of which WOLA forms part, released a statement commending the ELN for paying heed to the UN Secretary-General and Colombian civil society's calls for ceasefires. The Government of Colombia announced that two former ELN commanders, Francisco Galán and Carlos Velandia, would serve as "peace promoters". The DLP statement emphasizes that these steps serve as an opportunity to consolidate a full peace by opening a much-needed space for exploratory dialogues with the ELN. DLP urges the Colombian State and illegal armed groups to agree to a multilateral ceasefire in order to advance peace and as a response to the public health crisis.
The findings of the latest report by the Conflict Analysis Resource Center (Centro de Recursos para el Análisis de Conflictos, CERAC) were presented. This noted that (as of April 17) the ELN had not engaged in armed actions and that no military offensives against the ELN were initiated. Clara López, representing DLP, stated that the public health crisis should not reduce efforts for consolidating peace and that the Iván Duque administration should increase its political will to foster dialogue with the rebel group. Former Senator and Minister of the Interior Juan Fernando stated the CERAC report's main finding- the positive developments between the Colombian government and the ELN – were not getting media attention because the pandemic was dominating the headlines. Given this, proponents of peace had to adapt their advocacy and be strategic so as to guarantee that both issues, peace promotion and the health crisis, get attention. To help mobilize efforts by civil society in support of advancing peace with the ELN, it was necessary that positive developments obtain visibility.
Senator Roy Barreras argued that the Duque administration continues to carry out warmongering acts against the ELN that generate obstacles for advancing dialogue with the rebel group. Violence committed by the group, fuels fear in Colombian society and the administration takes advantage of this to justify its military actions. Further, Senator Barreras noted that humanitarian emergencies weaken governmental plans and this is also used to explain away poor leadership. The pandemic allows governments in general to reframe political narratives in their respective countries, which can unfortunately result in assaults against critical rights. The Senator believes that the Colombian government should take advantage of this unprecedented public health emergency to reframe the political narrative around peace with the ELN. The speakers closed by asking that Colombia's government fully implement the 2016 Peace Agreement with FARC and start peace dialogues with the ELN.
Speakers went on to emphasize that civil society participation is crucial to any peace process. César Sandino from Paz Completa said that civil society needs to be treated like an actor at the negotiating table because they are the ones directly affected by the conflict and are essential to guaranteeing a sustainable peace. Diana Sánchez added that continued oversight and support by the United Nations' was needed.
Afro-Colombian leader and Bojayá massacre survivor from Chocó Leyner Palacios emphasized that guarantees of non-repetition are needed and that victims are central to peace negotiations. A multilateral ceasefire is needed in order to protect innocent civilians throughout Colombia. At the current juncture, communities in the Pacific face infrastructure issues, institutional neglect, and armed conflict. The health crisis is compounding all of these structural issues. Leyner pleaded that the government take action to protect the territories of ethnic minorities now affected by the pandemic. Throughout the discussion, it was pointed out that the communities affected by the ELN's armed actions are the same that are likely to be most negatively affected by the pandemic. Despite the national quarantine, forced coca crop eradication operations continue and armed actors are murdering social leaders. Marylen Serna, a social leader from Cauca, and Ediver Suárez, an activist from Catatumbo, pointed out that the government was not implementing the 2016 peace agreement. They recommend that it be fully implemented and that negotiations with the ELN are prioritized.
Cali's Monsignor Dario Monslave of Cali urged the ELN to free any hostages it has in its possession. He asked that the ELN respect the territories and communities it typically operates in. When doing so, the rebel group needs to be environmentally conscientious, as its operations are detrimentally impacting ecosystems. U.S. Reverend Douglas Leonard from the Global Council of Churches spoke of the importance of peace, particularly during the Easter season.
In sum, these are challenging times for communities facing on-going armed conflict and now a pandemic. Senator Iván Cepeda closed the meeting by underscoring the need to uphold democracy during these times. He stated that democracy should not be seen as an obstacle but rather a vital part of the solution to pandemic. Senator Cepeda called on other armed groups including the Gulf Clan to lay down their weapons. He said: "Facing the pandemic is a war in itself. Peace is fundamental to civilian security and is the only path forward."

In Day 1 of the MLB Draft, the Boston Red Sox selected a pair of high schoolers known best for their ability to hit for power.
After taking corner infielder Triston Casas in the first round with the 26th overall pick, the Sox took Seneca High School (N.J.) outfielder Nick Decker in the second round with the 64th overall pick.
Decker projects as a corner outfielder who, for now, hits more for power than for average.
Decker currently is committed to the University of Maryland, and joins Mike Trout and Carl Thomore as the only prep position players from New Jersey since 2009 to be selected in the first three rounds of the draft.

Systemic oxalosis may be hereditary or acquired. In these cases, calcium oxalate deposits have been reported in numerous tissues, including the media of arteries. In any category, calcium oxalate deposition has not been described within atherosclerotic plaques in any arteries.
As part of a retrospective clinicopathologic study, 80 hearts were obtained from the National Neurological AIDS Bank in an effort to study coronary atherosclerosis in patients infected with HIV. The population consisted of 66 HIV-positive and 14 HIV-negative patients with an average age of 47 years; 79% were males. Proximal coronary arteries were serially sectioned and processed routinely. Sections were studied by hematoxylin and eosin staining and, in selected cases, von Kossa stain and alizarin red S under different conditions, including polarized light, to allow distinction of calcium phosphate from calcium oxalate. Medical histories, autopsy reports, and general autopsy slides were reviewed.
In four patients (three with AIDS), calcium oxalate crystals were observed within atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. Similar deposits were seen in the thyroid gland and other organs but not in the kidneys. None of the patients had chronic renal failure.
The calcium oxalate crystal deposits observed in the atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries of these four patients are unique in two ways: (a) these deposits have not previously been described in atherosclerotic plaques; (b) the patients did not demonstrate any of the recognized patterns of oxalosis. We suggest the phrase "atherosclerotic oxalosis" to describe this finding.

About 1712 hours on Monday, 6th January, 2002, Police at Thurso received reports of a smell of gas and a visible haze near to the Gasworks at Janetstown, near Thurso.
As a precaution the unclassified Thurso to Shebster road was closed at a safe distance either side of the gasworks.
Police contained the scene until units of Highlands & Islands Fire Brigade and Transco Engineers could assess the situation.
It was discovered that the haze was as a result of a small quantity of gas which vented from the works as normal, but due to the cold weather and mild winds caused a haze to form.
At no time was there any danger to public safety.
About 1820 same date the road was re opened.

On the day when all hip-hop fans expected to hear Tha Carter V by Lil Wayne, it was no where to be found.
A source close to Weezy's camp tells TMZ … the hype surrounding September 21 as the release date for 'Carter V' was all generated by pure speculation that somehow morphed into conspiracies. Fact is … all Young Money did was tease the cover and NEVER once mentioned an album release date.
The hype started after Floyd Mayweather posted the album cover on Instagram earlier this month and captioned it "[Goat emoji] #21." That led everyone to believe the album was dropping at midnight on September 21. But when midnight came and went … fans were left scratching their heads, especially after Floyd deleted the post. James Harden followed suit with "#13" and also deleted it.

Post news Report RSS	Devblog 65: Building a new world Part 1
Read about features that are in development for Foxhole.
Posted by clapfoot on May 7th, 2019
DISCLAIMER: All of the content below is heavily conceptual and may never be in the game. All Images and Text are stand-in. Please read this before taking the images out of context!
Production Breakdown
@MarkAs we touched upon in the last Devstream, we've been working towards a big mid-year update since the beginning of this year. This update is scheduled to be released in the summer. The features we're tackling are bigger and deeper than anything we've done before, so we've needed more time between updates. In the meantime, we are continuing to support Update 25 through incremental patches that will address short term game balance issues. There are two main components to Update 26: 1) World Conquest 2.0, which will include an expansion of the world and some fundamental changes to the way that regions are laid out 2) Logistics Revamp, which will include new mechanics and lots of new content
We aren't ready to reveal all of Update 26 yet, but we would like to start sharing some of the work that's being done on the map side of things in this blog post. Keep in mind that this is just a sneak peek at a fraction of what's to come. There's a lot more to share in the weeks ahead.
Expanding the World pt. 1
@Matt
A little while ago, I had a few members of the community ask what I've been working on. They'd ask why there wasn't any new lore. Why is adding and revising lore taking so long? You said you were doing it ages ago! It's not like you have much going on, all the maps are done now, right? Not exactly. Max and I (along with the rest of the team) have been hard at work on some wild stuff for update 26 and we're so excited to talk about some of it, that I'm going to give you a sneak peek on some of the map changes and additions coming to the world of Foxhole.
Let me preface all this by letting you know that I fully expect some will say, "well, Matt, why are you adding more maps to the game at all?" That sentiment makes sense. We are, however, not doing any of this in a vacuum and over the next couple weeks—on the dates Mark mentioned earlier—you'll see how these pieces fit together. On top of that, anything I'm showcasing is still very much a work in progress and may not reveal all the elements involved. Some parts are obfuscated, so feel free to speculate away. One thing that has been a thorn in my side since the inception of World Conquest is that the maps don't fit together. A significant part of update 26 is going to attempt to address that. Let's take an early look at some of the changes.
First: Deadlands
Once the heart of the Caoivish empire, the Deadlands sit as a stark monument to the Great Wars. Strewn about the bones of this once great capital are several small villages, clinging hopelessly to life as the ever-present spectre of war looms across the land.
Re-imagined design for Deadlands
Deadlands has always been the most sacred map in Foxhole. Mark and I never wanted to touch it, because it worked so well as a singular, balanced map. It was our touchstone, our first complete understanding of Foxhole. Problem was, we extended the world around it without ever changing its dynamics as the game transformed.
So have a look. It's quite different. Obviously, without town positions and things like that, you won't see the full scope of changes. One part that is very obviously different is the River Mercy. I know this will throw a lot of people off, but the straight channel across the map was never all that intentional. It was more of a function of design that never worked the way we intended. More on that in the future. Either way, I'm excited to roll out the new Deadlands which has been the oldest map in the game.
Next up, a new map: The Drowned Vale
These boundless wetlands span much of the eastern heart of Caoiva. An unfortunate consequence of the flooding of Deepfleet, this extension of the valley is a muddied mire filled with twisted wooden pathways and murky shallow waters.
Initial design for the Drowned ValeBefore we ever set out to design new maps for Foxhole, one of two things both Max and I wanted was a region that dealt very specifically with shallows. They've been missing from Endless Shore since it had to be opened up for boat travel; we felt it was time to bring them back. Thus we set out to build, a 'swampy' map. We changed course a bit to fit Foxhole's theme and became inspired more by European wetlands. Here's some of the imagery used to conjure it up.
Beyond just integrating shallows into its identity, we wanted to provide a new set of textures and foliage. This allows for even more immersion as the world of Foxhole is large and you should be able to see different kinds of flora and atmosphere depending on where you are in the world. Here's a little gander at some of that at work.
A sneak peek at Drowned ValeThirdly: Marban Hollow
Once an immense reservoir, Warden soldiers burst open the Lughbone Dam, turning it into a deadly, nefarious weapon; the Deepfleet Valley below was flooded, routing a vast armoured force. Thousands paid the toll as villages, homes, and entire communities were doomed to a watery grave.
The initial design for Marban Hollow
Marban Hollow is one of the more exciting additions to the game as far as I'm concerned. The second of those two things we really wanted was a map themed around a massive dam that had burst. In fact, we settled on this so long ago, we had some of the artists mocking it up long before anything was approved. It turned out to be worthwhile (and you might have noticed the bridges were updated a few updates back) as it got pushed all the way through. It's now coming to the game in update 26.
Marban hollow is a wide-open region with few towns and a tragic past. I know Max put a lot of work into conceptualizing the finer details. As I said before, this was one of our very first concepts for update 26 and we're very excited to share more of it with you.
Integration of new structures
Before I go, I wanted to share a few small snippets about the integration of a few of those new village/varied garrisons we talked about on a stream a few months ago. There's going to be a bit more variety around the various towns in the game now, thanks to all the hard work Anthony did in building out these cool new houses which should feel a little more at home out in the boonies.
That's it for now, folks. I'll be back in a couple of weeks with a more in-depth look at what we're working on, and how all this fits into the bigger picture of update 26. We're literally bursting at the seams to show you more, but as they say, patience is a virtue.
- Matt
Stay tuned to the dev stream next week for some juicy details. muhahahahahahahahah!
That wraps up another Dev Blog. Be sure to check out our Foxhole Dev Stream for more information about upcoming features. If you have any burning questions you want answered be sure to tweet them to @Matt directly on Discord or Twitter, if your question gets selected it will be answered live on stream!

In the five years since the Twilight Sad's last album, they've lost their founding drummer, opened for The Cure at some of the world's largest venues and signed a new record deal with Mogwai's label Rock Action. All three events leave positive marks on 'It Won/t Be Like This All The Time' (yes, that really is a slash, not an apostrophe): increased drum programming in the wake of Mark Devine's departure, particularly on album bookends '[10 Good Reasons For Modern Drugs]' (the punctuation eccentricity continues) and 'Videograms', adds an irresistible motorik force to their already impressive sonic heft, 'VTr' and 'I/m Not Here [Missing Face]' (more orthographic fun) are the kind of infectious songs built for performance in gargantuan outdoor stadiums, all instantly chantable choruses and heroically soaring guitars, while the sparsity of recent Mogwai bleeds into the gorgeous synth-and-feedback textural throb of 'Sunday Day13'.
And yet, despite wearing band developments and elder influences on their sleeve, with album five the Twilight Sad seem now to have reached a point where they sound, pleasingly, only like themselves. That's largely thanks to James Graham's singular voice, inimitable in both its proud Scottishness and its intimate honesty, but also to the lyrical fug of belligerent optimism that cloaks their work.
Few bands of the Twilight Sad's generation have even made it to album five, let alone grown with each release, but 'It Won/t Be Like This All The Time' is the sound of a band in rude health.

While homes use the first variety, many companies use a network laser copier. This electronic hardware is linked to several computers through an integrated system, allowing the company staff to access the network any time.
Another type is the inkjet printer, which is ideal for producing high-quality coloured photos. The best feature of this kind is its excellent printing resolution and colour accuracy. If you are fond of developing your own pictures, this piece of hardware is the perfect choice.
High-technology printers allow you to print large volumes of document. But if you want amazing results, opt for professional printing services such as the ones you can find on this website.
