Ok I've completed my Beta Pics page. I'd like to thank Stag019 for sending me those pics to use. I'll also remake some similar pics of it were actually taken from the final game. I've remade the picture of the first beta pic I have. Hope you like it.
Well I've updated a lot of things. Now every page has something on it. I've also added the forum now. Make sure you register first to post. Enjoy!
I've updated some pages on my site. Check em out.
Hi and welcome to my site! I made this site because there are some beta or leftout stuff in the game that I find interesting. And I'm sure you might find it as well too. Ahem, well I started the site today, and as you can see there's not much here. This site will be kinda small because there's not that many things about SMRPG that's enough to make a big site, but I hope mine anyway. Enjoy!

        let items = prompt('Что принесет дополнительный доход? (перечислить через запятую)', '');

        if (typeof (items) === 'null' || typeof (items) === '' || typeof (items) != 'string') {
            console.log('Повторите попытку!');
        } else {
            appData.income = items.split(', ');

            alert('Способы доп.заработка ' + (i + 1) + ' : ' + item);
        });
    }
};

Прошу вашей помощи, скажите пожалуйста, почему в chooseIncome не работает проверка на введенные данные в prompt. 2 часа голову ломаю, а все равно понять не могу.

A: typeof (items) != 'string' не имеет смысла, потому что prompt всегда возвращает строку (если не было отмены), а остальные вот что возвращают:

console.log( typeof null ) // object (ошибка в языке)

console.log( typeof "" ) // string

Необходимую проверку можно делать как показано ниже, и то в случае, если как-то по разному надо обрабатывать пустую строку и null, иначе достаточно if( !items ) — потому что они оба в логическом контексте будут false.

let items = prompt('что-то', '');

if ( items === null ) {
  console.log('null!');
} else if( !items ) {
  console.log('пустая строка!');
} else {
  console.log('Ок!');
}

! логическое НЕ: false превращает в true, и наоборот. Можно было записать if (items == "")

И бесконечный prompt, до тех пор, пока что-то не введут:

let x = prompt("Введите что-то...", "");

while( x !== null && x == "" ){ // x !== null && !x
  x = prompt("Вы ничего не ввели. Это обязательно!", "");
}

if( x === null ) {
  console.log( "null !" );
} else {
  console.log( x );
}

Explosive Claims Levelled Against Mafs Executive Producer
We've all been guiltily revelling in the drama of this year's Married At First Sight, but should we be more concerned about how the sausage is made?
ABC's Media Watch did a special on the MAFS phenomenon on Monday night and brought to light a number of claims levelled against the show's executive producer Tara McWilliams.
Dean Wells told Media Watch he informed McWilliams he wanted to leave the show after his "affair" with Davina, but was met with threats.
"They forced me to stay," he said.
"We'll make you look bad if you don't stay."
Andrew Jones, 2017's villain, expressed similar claims.
"I was emotionally unwell at that point, melting down actually and not getting any support from them."
"The conversation started calmly but I was told by Tara in a raised voice: 'It will look bad for you if you leave now.'"
In response, Endemol Shine Australia told Media Watch the claims "simply weren't true."
While it's a case of he-said-she-said at the moment, what we do know for sure is that whatever they're doing is working from a commercial standpoint with the show pulling in record amounts of advertising dollars.

Are you a county agency? Do you receive tax dollars to operate?
No and No. As a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, we lead conservation efforts through contributions from our memberships, corporate and private contributions, grants, and partnerships. We do not receive regular funding from a national organization, the government, or tax dollars to run our programs. Your contribution benefits your Berks County.
Can anyone become a member of Berks Nature?
Absolutely. Our membership consists of young families, business owners, retirees, students, seniors, parents, farmers, recreational athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, naturalists, educators, sportsmen – simply those that care about our quality of life in Berks County – now and for future generations. Our land, water, history, and recreational opportunities affect each and every one of us. Become a Member Now.
Are you a volunteer organization?
No. We currently have a staff of five paid employees. We do, however, utilize volunteers for a variety of our committees and projects.
How are you different from the Berks County Conservation District?
The Berks County Conservation District is a county agency – we are a non-profit organization. The Conservation District is dedicated to the encouragement and instruction of the wise stewardship of the soils and waters of Berks County so that present and future generations may have healthy land to live and work on and clean water for drinking and recreation. They also operate the popular annual tree seedling sale.
Are you the folks that manage the Ag Land Preservation Program?
No. The Berks County Agricultural Land Preservation Board, a government agency, has been protecting farmland since 1989 through the purchase of agricultural conservation easements. The Agricultural Land Preservation Board, a nine-member board appointed by the Berks County Commissioners, is tasked with administering the agricultural land preservation program in Berks County. Agricultural easements limit the activity to agriculture and remain with the property deed in perpetuity.
Landowners receive compensation based on an appraised value of the easement rights to be granted. To date, over 65,000 acres of farmland have been preserved through this program. If you own a farm in Berks County you may qualify for this land protection program. For more information please call the Berks County Agricultural Land Preservation Board at 610-378-1844 or visit www.co.berks.pa.us/alp/site.
What is an Agricultural Security Area (ASA)?
An Agricultural Security Area (ASA) entitles landowners and farmers to special consideration from local and state government agencies, thus encouraging the continuing use of the land for productive agricultural purposes. The local government unit may not impose ordinances that unreasonably restrict farm structures or practices within the ASA, nor may normal farming operations and practices be deemed nuisances in a nuisance ordinance. The key features of the Agricultural Security Area Law (Act 43) may be: possible farmer protection from condemnation, protection from nuisance laws, and the ability to apply to the Berks County Agricultural Conservation Easement (ACE) program. ASAs do not restrict land use or negatively impact landowners. Your municipality administers ASAs – for more information contact your municipality to inquire about this program.
What is Clean and Green?
The Clean & Green Act of 1974 was established to offer preferential tax assessment to owners of farmland, forestland, and open space by taxing land according to its use rather than the prevailing market value. The program is administered by the Berks County Assessment Office. The program is voluntary and generally requires that a 10-acre minimum remain in designated use (agricultural use, agricultural reserve, and forest reserve). Parcels of less than 10 acres and capable of producing $2,000 annually from the sale of agricultural products are eligible for the agricultural use designation. Land taken out of the permitted use becomes subject to a rollback tax, imposed for up to seven years, and an interest penalty.
To learn more or apply to the Clean and Green program, you can request information and an application from the Berks County Assessment Office. The telephone number for this office is 610-478-6262. Clean and Green is not a permanent land protection tool. It is possible to have your land enrolled in Clean and Green and protect it with a conservation easement at the same time.
What is a conservation easement?
A conservation easement is a legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust (like Berks Nature) or government agency that permanently limits uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. It allows you to continue to own and use your land and to sell it or pass it on to heirs.
Why should I grant a conservation easement to Berks Nature?
People execute a conservation easement because they love their open space land, and want to protect their land from future inappropriate development while keeping their private ownership of the property. Granting an easement to a conservation organization that qualifies under the Internal Revenue Code as a "public charity" – which Berks Nature does – can yield income and estate tax savings. Moreover, Berks Nature has the expertise and experience to work with landowners and ensure that the land will remain as permanent open space. Remember, Berks Conservancy is your conservancy. As a 501(c)(3) private non-profit organization, we lead conservation efforts through contributions from our membership, corporate and private contributions, grants, and partnerships. We are not a government agency and, therefore, do not pay for our operations from tax dollars. Your land and financial contributions benefit your Berks County.
Are conservation easements popular?
Yes, they are very popular. Nationally, the amount of land protected by local and regional land trusts using conservation easements exceeds 5 million acres. Landowners have found that conservation easements can be flexible tools, and yet provide a permanent guarantee that the land won't ever be developed. Conservation easements are used to protect all types of land, including coastlines; farm and ranchland; historical or cultural landscapes; scenic views; streams and rivers; trails; wetlands; wildlife areas; and working forests.
In Berks County, nearly 75,000 acres have been permanently protected through the use of conservation easements by the Berks County Ag Land Preservation Board (a government agency) and the non-profit Berks Nature.
How many acres must I own to protect my land with a conservation easement?
Berks Nature does not prioritize our land protection projects by acreage, but by conservation values. Whether you own 10 acres or 400 acres, a conservation easement may be right for you. Berks Nature subscribes to the Berks County Comprehensive Plan – Vision 2020 and will not actively pursue the protection of land identified as future growth. Your first step is to contact Berks Nature at 610-372-4992 to see if a conservation easement is right for you.
How can a conservation easement be tailored to my needs and desires?
A conservation easement restricts development to the degree that is necessary to protect the significant conservation values of that particular property. Landowners and Berks Conservancy staff, working together, can create conservation easements that blend both the landowner's desires and the need to protect conservation values.
What steps do I take to develop a conservation easement?
First, contact Berks Nature at 610-372-4992 and request a Land Protection Application Packet and Fee Schedule. At your convenience, we will work with you to explore and discuss what you want to accomplish such as the conservation values you want to protect on the land, and what development rights you may want to retain. For example, you may already have one home on your property and want to preserve the right to build another home. That is one provision that must be specifically written into an easement agreement. Always consult with other family members regarding an easement, and remember that you should consult with your attorney or financial advisor regarding such a substantial decision.
How long does a conservation easement last?
Conservation easements are permanent, perpetual agreements that "run with the land," binding the original owner and all subsequent owners to the easement's restrictions. Only gifts of perpetual easements can qualify for income and estate tax benefits. The easement is recorded at the Berks County Recorder of Deeds Office so that all future owners will learn about the restrictions when they obtain title reports.
What are Berks Nature's responsibilities regarding conservation easements?
Berks Nature is legally responsible for enforcing the restrictions that the conservation easement document spells out. Therefore, the organization monitors the property on a regular basis – typically once a year – to determine that the property remains in the condition prescribed by the conservation easement document. Berks Nature maintains written records of these monitoring visits, which also provides existing and future landowners a chance to keep in touch with the organization. Berks Nature has established a Stewardship Fund to provide for long-term stewardship, monitoring, and defense of the conservation easements, and all conservation easement donors will be asked to make a contribution to this fund.

About Keith Potger

Some Pics
KEITH POTGER AO
BIOGRAPHY FOR 2020
Keith Potger's musical career started well before The Seekers first stormed the UK charts in 1965. He is a self-taught musician, playing the banjo, 6 string guitar and keyboards. With an eye to a musical future while still at Melbourne High School, he performed in vocal groups which evolved into The Seekers in 1962. Keith's ability to arrange harmonies for the group members was evident from these early days.
Taking up the 12 string guitar in 1964, he composed the distinctive riffs that are a trademark of The Seekers' chart topping recordings, "I'll Never Find Another You" and "A World Of Our Own", as well as many other singles and album tracks, augmenting the wonderful lead voice of Judith Durham and the boys' ear-catching harmonies and instrumental talents.
The Seekers were honoured as Australians Of The Year in 1967, the only group to have been given this acknowledgement.
The Seekers disbanded in 1968 and Keith's musical activities then turned to songwriting and record production in major recording studios in the UK. In 1969, with his business partner, David Joseph, Keith formed The New Seekers who went on to have major international success. Collaborating with hit songwriter Tony Macaulay, Keith wrote the song "Play Me Like You Play Your Guitar" which Tony produced for Duane Eddy, reinvigorating Duane's career in 1974. Keith returned to Australia in 1978 to write and produce television jingles and music tracks as well as performing solo concerts throughout the 1980s.
In 1992 he reunited with Judith Durham, Athol Guy and Bruce Woodley to tour internationally as The Seekers for their Silver Jubilee and were inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 1995. In 1997, the group released the Platinum-selling 'Future Road', which gave the public the first real chance to hear his songwriting talent on "Guardian Angel/Guiding Light", also co-writing "The Circle Of Love" (with Rick Beresford); "Forever Isn't Long Enough For Me" (with Byron Hill); and the title track, "Future Road" (with Trevor Spencer and Boyd Wilson).
The Seekers have toured extensively as a group since 1993. During this period Keith has continued writing and recording original songs. He released his first solo CD "Secrets Of The Heart" in 2004, followed by "Sunday" in 2007 and in 2010 he released his mostly self-penned third solo CD, "Smile Now".
Accompanying himself on his trusty 12 string and 6 string guitars, his "wandering minstrel" style of performance includes material from his solo CDs, Seekers favorites, along with songs and anecdotes from his long career in the music industry.
In June 2014, The Seekers concluded their UK and Australian Golden Anniversary tours and, along with his Seeker partners, Keith was awarded the Order of Australia (AO) for services to the Australian music industry and not for profit organisations. Later that year The Seekers performed sold out concerts in New Zealand.
2015 saw Keith on the road again presenting his solo concerts to audiences in Queensland and New South Wales as well as visiting Nashville to co-write material for his fourth solo CD. 2016 continued with sold out performances of the hit production GEORGY GIRL - THE SEEKERS MUSICAL in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
2017 and 2018 have been productive years for Keith's solo activities and joining forces with his Seeker cohorts to promote The Seekers' TV Specials DVD release that topped the charts for most of the middle of 2018.
Later in 2018, Keith joined Athol Guy and Bruce Woodley to record a CD titled "Back To Our Roots". Because The Seekers started out life as a four man band, Keith, Athol and Bruce asked long time collaborator and record producer for The Seekers, Michael Cristiano, to join forces with them to create The ORIGINAL SEEKERS. Concerts for this lineup followed in 2019 and in January 2020 The ORIGINAL SEEKERS were a featured act on the ABC's Australia Day concert televised from the Sydney Opera House.
Involvement with charities has always been important to Keith and he frequently performs at charity concerts within his touring schedule. He was Patron of the renowned children's charity Variety WA from 2001/2009 and, after six years, recently retired from the Board of Directors of Support Act Limited, the heart and hand of the Australian music industry. Keith is a Patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Western Australia and a Celebrity Ambassador for Variety Victoria and Variety International.
In November 2018, Keith coined the word "mynonym" to be a synonym of the word palindrome. Palindrome is currently the only descriptor for a word, phrase or series of numbers that can be read in reverse retaining its original meaning. His sense of logic suggested that it would be appropriate to have a word that itself was a descriptor and able to be read in reverse, hence mynonym. Keith is pursuing efforts to have it included in significant dictionaries worldwide.
Keith's CDs Secrets Of The Heart, Sunday and Smile Now are available by emailing Circle Music

Bishop: Lay Ecclesial Ministry Critical to Future of the Church
By Janet Sassi on	 April 7, 2008 News
A prominent bishop told a gathering of more than 200 clergy, faculty and lay ministers that the ordained ministry needs to recognize the importance of lay ecclesial ministry (LEM) within the Roman Catholic Church.
"The church would not fulfill its mission if it were not for lay ecclesial ministers who make our mission of Christ more alive, more visible and more active," said Bishop Gregory M. Aymond of the Diocese of Austin, Texas.

"The bishop, the priest and the deacon should be encouraged to see the need for lay ecclesial ministry and how it enhances who we are as a church," he said. "It should be part of their formation program."
The bishop gave his remarks at "Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord: A Pastoral Convocation," a one-day event sponsored by the Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education (GRE) to discuss the deepening role of lay ministry within the Catholic Church.
Lay ecclesial ministers are non-ordained—and often volunteer—pastoral ministers who do evangelical missionary work, teaching and other grassroots outreach alongside priests, deacons and theologians. There are more lay ecclesial ministers than priests or deacons, and the number of LEMs continues to grow. According to the National Catholic Reporter, by 2010 the active diocesan clergy in the United States will be less than the number of parishes, leaving lay ministers to fill the gap.
In 2005, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a document, "Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord," to help guide the development of LEMs. The document, which Bishop Aymond helped create and which had as one of its key supporters Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J., set guidelines for suitability, formation and practice of lay ministry.
Calling the document a "wonderful beginning," Bishop Aymond said that several other challenges of lay ministry need to be studied to ensure that LEM candidates are properly educated, trained and formed. These include: deciding who discerns authorizes and evaluates LEMs; what kind of curriculum should be required; and what level of salaries and benefits LEMs should receive.
Rev. Anthony Ciorra, Ph.D., dean of GRE, noted that the school's online graduate Certificate in Faith Formation has strengthened the GRE's mission to help prepare educators, volunteers, health workers and others who want to serve the lay ministry. Coursework for the program covers the core elements recommended in the Co-Workers document—the human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral development of the individual candidate.
"Fordham University is a leader in the conversation on the topic of lay ministry," Father Ciorra said. "We hope to carry the legacy of this conference in what we do. . . to further deepen the dialogue and mission for lay ministry." Representatives of GRE were meeting with other Jesuit colleges to discuss how Jesuit institutions might "collaboratively respond to the vision and competencies of co-workers," he added.

August 1, 2018: I feel drawn to particular landscapes and sometimes, man-made places. When that heart-tug comes over me—whether it's nostalgia, familiarity, or something more mysterious—I know I'm connected to the Earth and I'm alive in the moment. I treasure this feeling.
One such place that draws me is the Spring Green Preserve. So it's no small thing that from particular vantage points (and by craning my neck), I can see this promontory from my lot. When climbed, this dry sand prairie bluff offers commanding views up and down the Wisconsin River and buzzes with unusual flora and fauna.
Another place is the Wisconsin River, just a mile away—a seemingly endless stretch of sandbars, eagles, herons, and the hush of solitude. Wild edges await at Bakkens Pond—and further west, Smith Slough & Sand Prairie. I often imagine myself back in time, when these paths were lightly trod. Who lived here, how did they make provisions, what did they see and hear?
So you can imagine my delight when I found the original surveyor's map of the region, platted in 1840 by Wm. A. Burt. He transcribed the contours of the river edge and islands big and small and edged them in blue. My lot sits in the SE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 12 at the edge of what was once a 6 mile stretch of a "B. Oak & Pine Grove". Remnants of this grove can still be seen along the highway just east of Lone Rock.
Note to self: plant a Burr Oak and a White Pine.
