Undertale Download for PC/Windows is an advanced retro-RPG that takes you back to the period of 8-bit figuring. Planned by Toby Fox and financed by a unimaginably fruitful Kickstarter crusade, the diversion contains various references to the acclaimed Earthbound arrangement (known as Mother in Japan) made by Nintendo.
Quite a while prior, two races led the Earth in concordance: people and creatures. Shockingly, a contention that emerged at last prompted a long and brutal war. The people won and drove the beasts underground with an effective spell. Numerous years after the fact, a young lady, oblivious of the old legends, sets out on an excursion to the Ebott mountain, from which, as per those legends, nobody has ever returned. Searching for a safe house from the fast approaching precipitation, she winds up entering a sinkhole, where she finds a strange, and clearly profound, gap. Enchanted by her interesting discover, she hangs over and falls into the opening. This is the means by which the account of Undertale Crack starts.
The gameplay does not go amiss much from a run of the mill RPG. We investigate the world, cooperate with the characters we meet, and pick up encounter focuses. What makes Undertale Torrent for PC/Windows emerge is the fascinating story, charming riddles, and its creative battle framework. Each time we confront a foe, we are given a few choices – we can either take part in coordinate battle, settled by means of an arcade small scale diversion, or impact his forceful demeanor with a compliment, for instance. The last does not yield us any experience, but rather it allows us to maintain a strategic distance from a portion of the more troublesome experiences.
The visuals are plain with a decent measurements of outdated, utilizing a constrained shading palette that looks like the one utilized on the 8-bit Atari or Commodore 64 PCs, in spite of the fact that for this situation it is a deliberate creative decision. Something else deserving of note is simply the soundtrack, made by Toby Fox.


We often visit Walt Disney World Resort with our friends and family in order to share the Magic with them. This means that we often have several households staying with us in the same room at a Walt Disney World Resort Deluxe Villa Resort Hotel… but doesn't mean that we all have to share our expenses!
Based on my experience, a Guest's MagicBand can be linked to the credit card of their choice, even if it's not the same one that is associated with the vacation reservation. Please mention that you'd like your charging privileges set up in a specie way to the Cast Member when you check in to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel (I don't believe that you can set this up via Online Check-In, yet).
In order to make sure that everything is set up perfectly, make sure to ask your Resort's Lobby Concierge for a printout of your family's charges after your first day. You'll be able to check the charges associated with your family's MagicBands that way. You can ask for a printout at any time during your stay.

Jaguar Publishes Mille Miglia 2013 Film
The stars and the Jaguar cars entered into the Mille Miglia 2013 all feature in a new short film.
The 1,000 mile tour, which is a celebration of 'The World's Most Beautiful Race', captures the feedback from the high profile line-up of drivers that accepted invitations from Jaguar to partake in the epic drive event across Italy.
In the seats of three stunning examples of the Jaguar XK120 were driver pairings of Sir Chris Hoy and Andy Wallace; Daniel Day Lewis and Jim Gianopulos and David Gandy partnering Yasmin Le Bon.
The cavalcade of official Jaguar Heritage Racing cars in the event was doubled in size by the entries of three remarkable C-Type sports cars. Driver double-acts in lightweight C-Types included Jaguar Regional Director for Europe Bernard Kuhnt and actress Hannah Herzsprung, Alex Buncombe with Chris Harris, and Salvatore Ferragamo Jr. alongside Michael Quinn - the grandson of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons.
More than 400 classic race and road cars of unique heritage were entered into the Mille Miglia this year. The record number of entries meant that the Jaguar drivers - of which only Jim Gianopulos and Bernard Kuhnt have previous experience- were jostling on road with some of the most significant sports cars ever built by the world's most prestigious manufacturers.
Sir Chris Hoy, an Ambassador of the Jaguar Academy of Sport, said: "Being asked to drive with Le Mans winner Andy Wallace in the Mille Miglia was a privilege and I was delighted to take part. It is a technical event that participants take very seriously - I enjoyed its deeply competitive nature and I'm delighted to have made my debut with Jaguar."
Globally-recognised supermodel David Gandy commented: "The Mille Miglia is an event like no other. It was on my 'bucket list' and despite gruelling hours spent on the road each day in difficult weather conditions, the reaction to our car from thousands of fans across Italy and the euphoria Yasmin and I experienced crossing the finishing line made it all worthwhile."
Jaguar is committed to celebrating its unique, rich heritage as the company continues its recent exciting growth. Bernard Kuhnt said: "Our presence at the Mille Miglia was particularly significant this year as we are launching the new F-TYPE sports car across the world. To bring together the finest Jaguar cars ever made, with some remarkable characters behind the wheel, and to have five F-TYPEs chasing them throughout beautiful Italian countryside was a sight to behold.
"I am extremely thankful to the drivers in our team for spending their valuable time with Jaguar and I am grateful to the Mille Miglia organisers for allowing us the opportunity to enter this spectacular celebration of classic motorsport."

I. TABLE OF AUSTRALIAN SOILS OF THE HIGHEST PRODUCTIVE POWER.
The facts which the two preceding tables furnish, bearing on the question of the productiveness of soils, are,—
1st. That both kinds of soils, that is the fertile and the sterile, aborb, on an average, nearly the same amount of solar heat, but that they differ in their respective power of terrestrial radiation: the fertile soil emits, through radiation, an amount which is two thirds less than that yielded by the sterile soil.
2ndly. That their respective capacities for absorbing atmospheric moisture are different also; the fertile soil absorbing more than double the quantity absorbed by the sterile soil.
3dly. That their solubility in hydrochloric acid is not equal; the fertile soil containing, in 100 parts, 30 parts of soluble matter, while the sterile soils contain but 8 per cent.
4thly. That the difference in the amount of vegetable and animal matter, in the two kinds of soils, is likewise great; the fertile possessing nearly three times as much of these ingredients as the sterile.
5thly. That the mineral constituents of each kind of soil, considered apart from the vegetable matter, the hygrometric water, and the loss in the analysis, and expressed in their atomic weight, are, in the
The atomic weight of their respective constituents thus shows, that the fertile soils differ from the sterile not only in the number of constituents, but in the proportion in which they are found to be combined.
From the above, the following conclusions are deduced:—
That absorption and emission of solar heat, in various proportions, constitute a physical property in soils, which property is connected with their productiveness; and that, as far as regards Australian soils, whenever, according to the averages of the tables, the amount of aborption is to that of emission as 5*76 :1, this property of the soil is highly favourable to agriculture; and whenever it is as 2*34:1, it is highly injurious to it.
That the productiveness of a soil is influenced by a property, which the soil is found to possess, of absorbing atmospheric moisture; and that, as regards "the Australian soils, whenever this property manifests itself in an amount above the average of that of the sterile soils, i. e. + 3-6, it is beneficial to agriculture, and when below, it is detrimental to it.
That the quantity of the soluble constituents in a soil determines its productive power; and that, as respects Australia, those of its soils which have 30 per cent, of soluble constituents are the best adapted to agriculture, and that those of which the soluble part is but 8 per cent, are the least fit for it.
That a certain amount of vegetable matter in Australian soils is indispensable to their productiveness; 15 per cent, appearing highly propitious, and 5 per cent, highly injurious to it; and that it further appears evident, from synthetic experiments, that the amount of vegetable fibre in a soil regulates not only the proportion between its absorption and emission of heat, but also, in a great measure, its power of absorbing atmospheric moisture.
Lastly, that, as regards the mineral ingredients of the Australian soils, it seems very probable that a combination of one atom of the peroxide of iron with one of the sulphate of lime, five of the carbonate of lime, five of alumina, and thirty of silica, constitutes a fertile soil; and that a combination of one atom of the peroxide with two of carbonate of lime, three of alumina, and twenty-six of silica, constitutes a sterile one.
IMPROVEMENTS.
From the preceding survey of farms and farming, and from the examination of the different productive and unproductive soils, it is obvious that, great as are the number of actual improvements in the two colonies, the list of those which remain to be introduced must be still greater.
Hitherto, the colonial farmer has, generally speaking, attended to but one part of the great farming principle of aiming to produce the most at the least expense. That part which relates to combining both economy of capital and the highest profit with the continual increase of the productive power of the soil, has been lost sight of.
Innumerable examples of the evil consequences attending this neglect of farmers are on record; and many of the best known soils of the globe may be pointed out, as having at one time enriched their


Within the Northern Ireland Football League at every club there is a myriad of talented people behind the scenes supporting the players week in and week out. From the manager, in the frontline and his coaching and medical staff, the administrative staff, the scouts, the sponsors, the tea ladies, those who launder the kit, the groundsmen - the list goes on. Among these is the Club Chaplain.
The Sports Chaplain is increasingly becoming part and parcel of club life across the spectrum of not just football, but sport as a whole. Within the Danske Bank Premiership and Bluefin Championship there are chaplains at most of the 24 clubs.
Sir Alex Ferguson commented "Chaplains can be of help to all sorts of people involved with sport, when crisis, need or difficulty comes. I commend the idea of sports chaplaincy and the work of Sports Chaplaincy UK to you."
So what is Sports Chaplaincy and what exactly does a club chaplain do?
Chaplaincy is primarily aimed at the care and welfare of players and staff but also at the wider community of people within the club including supporters and families of players and staff.
Working professionally, caring sensitively, demonstrating integrity and maintaining confidentiality are all the hallmarks of the Club Chaplain.
The following A to G of Sports Chaplaincy defines what the role normally involves.
A - Acquaintance - The club chaplain seeks to develop natural relationships and to build trust with the players and staff through regular, natural interaction.
C - Caring - Caring for players, staff, their families and supporters is an important aspect of chaplaincy. This focuses on supporting them through lifes events (injury, bereavement, retirement), caring for them through the normal treatment and rehabilitation process, including hospital visitation.
D - Development - With the number of young adults and players involved in football, it is important to provide for their personal development. The provision of life-skills training, help with integration into the wider community and advice on the preparation of "life after football" are areas where the Chaplain can add value.
E - Events - Chaplains will also engage to reflect the highs as well as the lows of peoples lives in celebrating life. This may involve the Chaplain in Special occasions such as weddings, christenings, or seasonal events such as Christmas or Birthdays.
F - Formality - In a more formal capacity the Chaplain can provide a vital and recognisable link with the Community. As well as Church services in which Chaplains are involved on the clubs behalf, they can also assist the club with safety and disaster procedures, write articles for the clubs programme etc.
G - God - Chaplains are motivated by a real and dynamic Christian faith, but they are available to all people irrespective of faith convictions. Chaplains are pastorally proactive and spiritually reactive, ensuring they do not impose their beliefs on others.

"Ordered him to the North." Shenkursk operation 1919
history/
Shenkursk operation - combat operations of the 6th army of the Northern front, 19-25 january 1919, a well-planned, thanks to the weak training of troops and command structure, have not led to the complete destruction of the opposing soviet forces international opponent. Parts of the 6th army operating in the olonets and arkhangelsk provinces, in september, 1918, had to face british, american, french and other foreign contingents, and to act in organizational climate and difficult conditions against the troops well equipped and trained enemy. Military operations proceeded in freezing weather and in most cases at a distance of 200 - 500 km from the railways in sparsely populated areas, where the distance from village to village (and located in the forests and swamps) was 30-40 km front, the 6th army held the line: the povenets, the skin-ozersk monastery, turcasovo (on the river onega), der. Codes river emtsa, oredi-mehrere, der. Cher-ozerskoye village of tulgas on the river Northern dvina, the truth-nagorskaya on the river pinega and der.
Ust-shchugor river pechora - a total length of over 1000 km on the river vahe front was a wedge driven into positions of soviet troops. Wedge was formed in september 1918, but to eliminate it was not possible, because the main command and the command of the Northern front, which consisted of 6th and 7th army, insisted that the action on the arkhangelsk direction. The enemy had about 12 thousand soldiers of foreign troops - british, american, french, polish, czechoslovak, italian, and serbian, as well as up to 10 thousand people from the white groups. American mortar shenkursk. The reds initially had 10 thousand fighters. Allied command showed no activity, the white guard command, hiding behind the foreigners, strongly shaped and made of Russian parts. The soviet command brought in the existing part 18 division, two brigades of which were located near the railroad (division headquarters on plesetskaya article), and the third brigade (brigade headquarters in krasnoborsk) were scattered on shelves, vahe r. , North. Dvina, pinega, mezen, vashka, pechora. The revolutionary military council of the army at a meeting with the division commander-18, it was decided, entrenched in the district railway and the Northern dvina to withdraw from the front separate parts, to bring them into squads and strike on shenkursk. One unit composed of three battalions (900 men) and two three-inch and four mountain guns, a platoon of cavalry 30 cavalry and squadron of the vologda gubchk had to move with the article of nyandoma on shenkursk.
Another unit in the battalion and engineering unit (about 600 men), one six-inch, one and one three-inch mountain guns, 18 sabres, had to move from krasnoborsk across the kodyma - also on shenkursk. The third squad is standing on vahe, as part of the marine expeditionary force (300 men) and 161 th infantry regiment (900 men - mostly peasants of shenkursk district), with six heavy and eight light guns, was to take the enemy positions on the river vahe and move also on shenkursk. The operation was ensured by the actions of guerrilla groups, which were to serve as a veil behind which the settlements were brought food and fodder, warm clothes, and were making items for the hospitals. The guns were installed on a luge course, and training led to the fact that six guns left group and the right three guns were able to open fire in a half-hour readiness. Right force, marching on even less populated area than the left, and had a six-inch gun, due to the deep snow cover even on a luge course, it was difficult to move, adapted to transport negores. From boards and logs were made a triangle on the bottom on the rocks. Segares was pulled by a dozen horses - and thus "Kill" two birds with one stone: he moved the gun, and the squad moved behind him cleared the snow from the road.
The right squad during the campaign had three times at 30-degree cold to sleep under the open sky, asogravas fires. The enemy concentrated in shenkursk and on positions South of the town of a battalion of american 339 th infantry regiment (consisting of four companies of 240 men each, with 32 machine guns and 36 machine guns), shenkursk battalion from local farmers (6 mouth - 800 bayonets), bellies detachment of 85 people and a regiment formed from the mobilized (about 1200 bayonets) totaling up to 3,000 people, with 30 guns of various calibers. The outskirts of the city on the river vahe was protected by three fortified positions. The shenkursk located on the right bank of the river, was surrounded by three rows of barbed wire with 16 blockhouses (from 3 to 5 machine-gun nests each) and, in addition to mobile artillery, 120-mm naval gun on betonirovannoy install. When the enemy felt a presence in the areas of kodyma and nikolskoye village of the red pieces, he put forward bellies detachment and two companies of shenkursk battalion in the direction of ternansky the graveyard, and the mobilized regiment and two companies of shenkursk battalion - kodyma. In the 20 days of january vazhskiy direction were ineffective fierce attack of soviet troops. Right detachment met the enemy midway between the kodyma and complex and entrenched, and engineering group with a six-inch gun went around it in the forest clearings and through the night came the enemy in the flank.
Under the fire of the heavy guns of the mobilized (300 people) surrendered and the rest retreated to the village. Sergius, which is the 22nd of january was carried out the same maneuver. On 23 january there was a fight at d. Zenovka, and the 25th ranked red der.
Atanasovsko. White retreated into shenkursk. The left unit failed to dislodge the enemy from the villages tamanskogo companies. Moving towards the shenkursk the left squad of the 25th in the evening advance units took the village.
Ivanovo, located five kilometers from shenkursk. The pressure from soviet parts in two directions helped vazhskiy squad to shoot down the enemy from the position of the ust ' -padenghe and by the evening of the 25th, to take a der. Skrebensky, located five kilometers from shenkursk. The enemy, who had in shenkursk up to 20 guns, did not defend and in the night retreated. By 9 a. M.
Of the 26th january, all three companies entered into shenkursk. White stuck 60 km North of the city. The fighting in the district of shenkursk stopped. In the time of onset from 19 to 25 january, the fighting was carried out at 37 degrees below zero. To make the little touch of the red pieces to the enemy positions, was used a kind of "Camouflage" - the attacking troops were ordered to remove clothing, wear cotton pants and cotton karawaci, and on top of them to wear white shirts and pants. This "Mimicry" was allowed to go unnoticed for 50-20 steps to enemy positions and to attack suddenly. The population was not provoked by the excesses by the troops behind the advancing soviet troops drove the treasurer to meet the just claims of the population.
In advance to the settlements had delivered food, stocked the forage, so in the end had to pay only for carts. And there had been only isolated cases, when this or that military unit or individual has violated the interests of local farmers. Thus, carefully designed and carried out the operation, was a success. The enemy was driven 90 miles, captured 15 guns, 2 thousand rifles, 60 machine guns, 5 thousand shells and 3 million rounds of ammunition, uniforms for 3 thousand people and the food supply, calculated on 5 thousand people for 4 months. But the operation was not completed, and the result was more modest than planned. The reasons for this are: 1) the management operation was in the hands of the army command and carried out from vologda.
Constant telegraphic communication with him had only vazhskiy squad. Troops marching from krasnoborsk and nyandoma, dragging the wire behind him, and although he could communicate by telegraph, communication was often interrupted and finally exploded when the troops were within 30 km from shenkursk; 2) all three of the chief groups tried to get into shenkursk in spite of their particular problems; 3) lack of unity of command - upon arrival at shenkursk between the chiefs of the troops began a quarrel, and only the presence of a member of the revolutionary military council, even forced to threaten them with execution, and forced to stop the altercation which almost resulted in an armed clash parts to which came the rumors about the tensions between their commanders; 5) fatigue of the troops, after a difficult campaign during severe frost lived from hand to mouth, and came finally to the city. Shenkursk the operation was a page of glory troops of the 6th army, which in difficult conditions, being almost at equal strength with the enemy, stationed in the fortified town, was able to solve the problem. But because of the weak training and inexperienced commanders, they failed to capture the encircled enemy.
Shenkursk operation – the episode of the combat activities of the Northern front, but the episode is revealing. Under the prevailing tactical conditions, troops of this front could act only in this way - anchored to a particular section, remove the part from the front and point to beat your opponent in the chosen direction. The formation of a large fist was impossible due to the narrow combat areas, each of which could with difficulty be deployed regiment. Shenkursk operation, despite its incompleteness, was of great importance - it showed the enemy endurance, stamina and panEuropeans soviet troops, gave rise, which originated at the allied command thought about the evacuation. Shortly after this operation was given orders not to send in line of battle, the american troops, and keep them only for the protection of warehouses. Soon it caused the same requirements and english soldiers. Shenkursk the operation showed that the soviets have learned how to win.
Starting from three remote points on three converging lines, the troops approached the shenkursk simultaneously, which decided the fall of the city. The troops marched through the snowy wooded area, breaking a 185 - 250 km - knee-deep in snow, dragging carrying guns. But the success was strategic - tactical opera.

I notice that US exports doubled between 2000 and 2011, imports also increasing greatly, but GDP only grew by 20%. Thus, trade in the United States seems to have grown substantially faster than production. Why is this?
Lassie FairLassie Fair
$\begingroup$ It is worth noting that you are referring to international trade. $\endgroup$ – Giskard Dec 23 '15 at 21:07
$\begingroup$ @denesp That is indeed what the tag says. $\endgroup$ – Lassie Fair Dec 23 '15 at 21:52
$\begingroup$ Fair enough, but that is not what the body of the question says. I would associate to interstate trade from "trade in the United States" but perhaps it is just me. $\endgroup$ – Giskard Dec 23 '15 at 22:58
$\begingroup$ It would be nice to indicate where those numbers come from. $\endgroup$ – emeryville Dec 24 '15 at 6:54
The fact that "trade in the United States seems to have grown substantially faster than production" could be explained by reduction in trade costs. For instance, a decrease in importing partners' tariffs tends to favor US exports. So, for the same level of production or GDP, US sales will be more export oriented. It works similarly for US imports following a reduction of US tariffs.
A first explanation to the reduction in trade costs is the reduction of tariffs and non-tariff barriers (such as administrative fees or quotas), that is changes in trade policy. Trade liberalization policies could be unilateral, multilateral, regional or bilateral. Regional trade agreements for instance have become increasingly prevalent since the early 1990s, according to the WTO.
A second explanation to the reduction in trade costs is related to technological progress such as faster communications.
Note that it is common to compute a country's trade openness index as the ratio of a country's trade (exports plus imports) to its GDP. Controlling for GDP allows economists to evaluate the outward or inward orientation of a given country's economy. Moreover, this ratio could be computed over time to measure the extent of globalization. For instance, according to the World Bank data Chinese trade openness ratio raised from 2.6% in 1970 to 39% in 2006. The US ratio increased from 9.7% in 2001 to 13.5% in 2011, which is consistent with the facts you mentioned.

You have a saying on your planet that "You make plans and God laughs." In truth, God would never laugh at your plans. God and we, your angels, try to assist you with your plans. First and foremost, however, we try to help you fulfill the plans of your soul.
You came to earth to learn about love. You came to earth to overcome limiting beliefs about yourself and life. You came to earth to rid yourself, perhaps, of habits that no longer serve you – such as martyring yourselves, or placing too much emphasis on the material world and not enough on what truly matters. You came to earth to find your limitations, conquer them, and once and for all find the bliss of true freedom! You wanted to remember you are born of nothing less than love itself and that love is what you are made of.
So if you want a new house and that house is a symbol of love for yourself, and if you love yourself enough to ask for our assistance, and to believe we can help, then you will soon be smiling as you walk into your new home! If however you want that house because you think you should advance materially, or someone else thinks you should get it, or maybe you want it for all the right reasons but don't believe you deserve it, or don't believe you have help... then dear ones, these limiting beliefs will limit how much we can assist you.
So by all means want what you want! Pray for what you desire, but always realize that God and your angels are helping you achieve the goals that will bring real happiness. Perhaps you didn't really want that big house after all, but just thought you should. We might instead guide you to a cute little apartment that grants you freedom to travel as your heart truly desires. Perhaps you pray for one specific relationship but we can see you want true love and so we can't assist with anything less. Perhaps you want more money to pay a bill but in your fear, your soul is whispering, "Faith... cultivate your faith and you will have this and more."
So, dear ones, God does not laugh at your plans. God takes the plans of your spirit very seriously, as do your angels. We love you! We want you to have the most joyful, loving, abundant experience of life on earth possible! However, we know, that you do not enjoy these things simply by being granted material security and pleasure, but rather by finding the vibration of love from which these and all else originate. And so, we will certainly help you with your things, but even more so, we will help you find the energies, beliefs, and behaviors, that will bring you true and lasting joy.
I'm sure, you, like me, have had many times in your life when things didn't go your way. In my younger days I used to get very frustrated and irritated about such things! If I had plans and had to focus on a bill, a repair, a tax item, instead, I'd get all worked up! If I wanted to hike but the weather didn't cooperate, I'd experience similar disappointment. It took me many years to absorb what the angels say - that every moment offers equal opportunity for love! Now I focus on how to bring love into a situation rather than whether or not I get my way. And magically... life is much happier!
Sunday I did my live stream gazes on Facebook. I thought I had everything figured out. Last month the streams were cutting out so this month I turned off every blue tooth and wireless device that could conflict with my streaming platform. That problem appeared to be solved! However, I didn't realize Facebook changed the way they format video and now I had a little sliver of a vertical video instead of full screen. I had a moment of pure annoyance. I tried to find a solution. Half an hour before I was going live, I still hadn't found a solution. So I did what the angels suggested and asked myself how I could add more love to the moment.
The answer was to give up worrying about it and eat breakfast! As a result, cropped video or not, I was in a beautiful and relaxed energy and ready to gaze. People felt the love too! I'm not sure if I'll correct the issue or leave it alone. Some people said it was easier to focus on my eyes. It may be a blessing in disguise!
The day before I had another exercise in not getting my way. I was so excited to go hiking for the first time since the fall. I willed the weather to be sunny and the sun came out from behind the clouds. But I didn't realize that my favorite hike which usually meanders over a gentle stream was inaccessible due to snow melt and spring flooding! Instead of the sweet little creek, I found a raging river! Plan B anyone? Instead of whining I went up the ridge without a trail and enjoyed beautiful views that I'd never seen before. I drove farther up the creek and enjoyed an hour of meditation in the woods by a raging river. I stopped at a cute shop on the way home and got some spicy chile peppers. I felt invigorated, alive, and ready to share the energy. I didn't get "my way" but had a glorious day doing it "God's way!"
Life is always in a vibrational dance. It is trying to help us, not hurt us. It is trying to show us areas where we need to grow in faith, trust, better beliefs and habits, more love, etc. Assume something good is going on. Ask what it might be and trust the answer you get.
If you have a surprise bill, a dashed hope, a disappointment, rather than focusing too long on negative feelings (you may have to be human and wallow a little!)... start to ask yourself, "How can I add love to this situation? How can I love myself or someone else better, given the way things are right here and right now?" Adding love changes the whole vibration and attracts better circumstances much more quickly.
If you have focused on your desires and believe you'll receive them, even if you have a temporary disappointment, you can trust that good is coming! As the angels like to say, "Ask. Believe. Receive." "Tell God what you want,not how to bring it." Then trust, trust, trust, trust trust. We really do have help!

Q: Website works without the www prefix I am working on IIS for the first time. My website only works without the www prefix. If i enter: this link it works fine but if i enter with www as in here it returns "File not found". The cname record already exists.

A: The host name portion of the URL is included separately in the HTTP request, and is used by the web server to select the virtual host that should be used to service the request.
Additionally, there is nothing magical about the  www. prefix; as far as the web server is concerned, www.example.com and example.com are two entirely separate virtual hosts.
What you need to do is add a separate host name that either is an alias to the existing one, or a redirection host. I very strongly recommend that you do the latter, but am including both for completeness.
Alias (quick but dirty):

*

*Open IIS Manager

*Expand the host node

*Expand the "Sites" node

*Locate the web site node for your web site, right-click on it, and pick Edit bindings

*In the Site bindings dialog, click Add

*Select the correct type, IP address and enter the correct port. Enter the host name (www.example.com) in the provided text box. Click OK and Close.

*Verify that the configuration works as intended

After making these changes, the two names will function identically, but will be considered distinct by any clients.
Redirection (recommended):

*

*Open IIS Manager

*Expand the host node

*Right-click on the "Sites" node and click Add website

*Configure the web site as appropriate, and point it at an empty root directory. Give it the host name that currently does not work.

*Select the newly configured site in the sidebar

*Open HTTP Redirect (you will find it under the IIS category in the Features View)

*Configure redirection to the canonical host name, using Permanent (301) status, and Apply the changes

This should cause any requests that come to the redirection host name to be automatically redirected to the corresponding location at the canonical host name. This ensures that search engines don't see two identical sites at different URLs, which is often seen as a bad sign. Using Permanent redirections means that any clients should cache the redirection response, saving them a few steps in getting to your site in the future thus improving performance for returning visitors.

Pastor Tim Bayly often says that when we abolish God's moral law, we do not wind up with fewer laws. Instead, we replace them with an infinite number of man's petty laws. That is the dirty little secret behind the death of Eric Garner, who was mobbed and taken down by police for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes.
Here is what is disgusting about this. New York City is aggressively pro-abortion. As I pointed out last year, 41% of all pregnancies in New York City end via abortion, and 60% of all black babies in NYC die via abortion. But while New York City by aggressively promotes the murder of unborn babies, they are also micromanaging what New Yorkers can eat, drink and smoke. New York City has abolished God's moral law against murdering unborn babies, but New Yorkers dare not sell cigarettes without paying taxes. That will bring the storm troopers down on you.
If this looks like Cosa Nostra turf protection, that is because it is exactly that. The government wants their money, and they are sending mob enforcers (the police) to ensure they get their cut. If you even argue with you, they will violently take you down. This is legalized, government-run organized crime. But if you want to murder unborn babies, New York City cannot be bothered to stop you. Instead, they will actively encourage this slaughter.
There are important issues surrounding the death of Eric Garner, including how police treat blacks and the use of force. In fact, if you watch the video of Garner being taken down, the use of force to subdue a nonviolent suspect is downright disturbing especially how quickly the use of force ramped up and how he was mobbed by multiple police officers.
But the most important aspect of this story - one that should not be overlooked - is how the police somehow felt it was necessary to violently take down and arrest someone for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes. Has it really come to this in the Land of the Free? If you sell a legal product without paying the taxes on it, you will violently be taken down and arrested instead of simply fined? This is frightening.

REP. STEVE KING
IA-04 | Running for re-election
Congressman Steve King has voted in line with Trump 92 percent of the time.
He voted to defund Planned Parenthood, against the Title X Family Planning Program, against a minimum wage hike, to repeal health care, for tax cuts for the 1%, and for an unconstitutional abortion ban.
King has said that "We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies" – which he clarified to mean U.S. citizens should be increasing birth rates to keep out immigrants.
He blamed the use of contraception for a "dying civilization" and is opposed to the Supreme Court decision which legalized contraception in the United States.
He also stood by a vote for legislation covering abortion only in the case of a "forcible rape."
He has made comments that abortion is causing a Black genocide and that abortion was a "tragedy for any life, no matter what color," concluding, "I would give you even money that a vast majority of mothers who say they can't afford an abortion have an iPhone, which costs more."
Want to personally "congratulate" Representative King for this dubious honor? Download his official "award certificate" here and deliver to his local office. Make sure you take a photo–or even a video–and post it on social media. Tag Rep. King and use the hashtag #WorstForWomen to spread the word.

I was never a phenomenal baseball player, but somehow, I made the team in high school. The coach pulled me aside and let me know that he was going to give me a slot on the varsity team, but that I shouldn't expect to play much. My role quickly became charting pitches in the dugout, with an occasional opportunity to pinch run or bunt. I was disappointed and embarrassed, but I decided early on that I would try to keep a positive attitude and do my best at whatever the coach asked of me. I ran hard at practice. I tried to be the best bunter on the team.
The coach was true to his word; I spent much of my time on the bench. At the end of the season, my number was called in an important game against a county rival. We were down by a run. A teammate got on base, and the coach directed me to first base to pinch run. Shockingly, the coach gave me the steal sign from his position on the third base line. "That can't be right," I thought to myself. So I didn't run.
Before the next pitch, he angrily and more deliberately gave me the same set of signs. The pitcher lifted his leg to go to the plate and I took off, sliding into second base just ahead of the tag. The batter got a hit, and I scored from second to tie the game (which we eventually won). I don't remember much about that season, but I remember that moment — the moment I was called into the game.
The Apostle Paul, as he wrote in Colossians, encourages us to live a life set apart. As followers of Christ, we should look different from the world around us. Often, how we respond to difficult circumstances will reveal our character. Our focus should be on Jesus; how we work, act and live should bring Him glory, not ourselves or other people.
Do you feel overlooked on the job? Work for Jesus, not for man. Do you feel mistreated? Work to honor Jesus, not your boss. God has given us each special gifts and abilities, and He's designed us to use them to serve His kingdom. God has called us into the game. Are you ready to give it your all?

Openeth the eyes of the blind - He brings us out of our prison-house, from the shadow of death, and opens our eyes that we may behold the free light of the day. And it is the Lord only that can open the eyes of any son of Adam, and give him to see his wretchedness, and where help and salvation may be found.
Raiseth them that are bowed down - Through a sense of their guilt and sinfulness.
The Lord loveth the righteous - These he makes partakers of a Divine nature; and he loves those who bear his own image.
Clarke, Adam. "Commentary on Psalms 146:8". "The Adam Clarke Commentary". http://odl.studylight.org/commentaries/acc/psalms-146.html. 1832.
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind - This is the sixth reason for what is stated as to the blessedness of those who put their trust in the Lord. The language here would be applicable to bodily or to mental blindness. Compare the notes at Psalm 119:18: "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." See also the notes at Isaiah 35:5: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened."
The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down - This is the seventh reason why they are happy who trust in the Lord. It is that those who are crushed and bowed down under the weight of care, trouble, and calamity, are raised up by him, or are sustained and comforted. See the notes at Psalm 145:14: "The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down."
The Lord loveth the righteous - This is the eighth reason why those who trust in the Lord are happy. It is a characteristic of God, and a foundation for praise, that he loves those who obey law; who do that which is right.
Barnes, Albert. "Commentary on Psalms 146:8". "Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible". http://odl.studylight.org/commentaries/bnb/psalms-146.html. 1870.
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind,.... Who are corporeally blind; the eyes of many such were opened by Christ when here on earth, and one who was born blind; and such who are spiritually blind as to any knowledge of divine things, of God in Christ, of the way of life and salvation by Christ, of the Spirit and his operations, of their state and condition by nature, or of the things of the Gospel; the eyes of many such he opens so as to see their sin and danger, their want of righteousness, and need of Christ, and salvation by him; this is usually done by means of the ministry of the word, which is as an eye salve; but the work is Christ's, and a work of almighty power it is; see Isaiah 35:4;
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down; as he did in a literal sense the poor woman that was bowed together, Luke 13:11, and as he does in a spiritual sense such as are heavy laden with sin, and pressed with the burden of it; that are depressed with Satan's temptations, and labour under sore afflictions and exercises; all which he supports his people under, and delivers them out of; and cheers and refreshes their souls with discoveries of his love and grace unto them; see Psalm 145:14;
the Lord loveth the righteous; not self-righteous persons; these are not loved by God the Father, who preferred a publican to one of them; nor by Christ, who came not to call them to repentance; nor by the Spirit, who reproves and convinces men of self-righteousness; nor by angels, who rejoice at one sinner that repents more than over ninety and nine just persons who in their own opinion need no repentance: but such who are righteous through Christ's righteousness imputed to them, and there are none righteous in any other way; and these Christ loves, not for any righteousness in them, or done by them; nor does his love flow from his own righteousness upon them, for he loved them from all eternity; and his engaging and undertaking to work out a righteousness for them, and the bringing in of that righteousness, were the fruits and effects of his love to them, and evidences of it; he suffered for them when they were in themselves unjust; he died for them when sinners, ungodly, and enemies; nevertheless, as they are clothed with his perfect righteousness, and are introduced unto him and presented before him in this raiment of needle work, this clothing of wrought gold, this fine linen clean and white; he takes delight and pleasure in them, and they appear a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing.
Gill, John. "Commentary on Psalms 146:8". "The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible". http://odl.studylight.org/commentaries/geb/psalms-146.html. 1999.
The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD f loveth the righteous:
(f) Though he visits them with affliction, hunger, imprisonment and such like, yet his fatherly love and pity never fails them, yea rather to his these are signs of his love.
Beza, Theodore. "Commentary on Psalms 146:8". "The 1599 Geneva Study Bible". http://odl.studylight.org/commentaries/gsb/psalms-146.html. 1599-1645.
Psalms 146:8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
Ver. 8. The Lord openeth the eyes] Both of body and mind, as in the Gospel. As for those miracles, which Tacitus and Suetonius attribute to Vespasian (as that he made a blind man see with spittle, healed another that was lame, and another that had a dry hand, by treading upon it), they are the miracles of Christ, which those profane authors would cast upon their emperor. Tacitus writeth that the blind man said to Vespasian that the god Serapis sent him to him. Now, the Paynims did think that the Christians did worship Serapis, as appeareth by the Epistle of Adrian, the emperor, to Severianus, the consul, that in the town of Alexandria they that worshipped Serapis were Christians, &c.
The Lord raiseth, &c.] As he did that daughter of Abraham in the Gospel, whom Satan had bound and bowed down twelve years, Luke 13:16, and as he doth still, Isaiah 61:1.
The Lord loveth the righteous] And this is more than all the rest. God dispenseth outward blessings, but not always in love.

Psalms 146:8. The Lord openeth the eyes, &c.— Illuminates their minds; or even restores their natural sight, when it is defective and weak; or, when perfectly gone, and there are no hopes of human cure. But this part of the psalm was most exactly and literally fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ, when he came to give salvation to us.

The eyes of the blind; either,
1. The eyes of their mind, which he enlightens and directs in doubtful and difficult causes; or,
2. Their bodily eyes, which he did abundantly by his Son Jesus Christ.
Loveth the righteous, even when he doth afflict them, which also he doth out of love, Hebrews 12:6.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary
Clouds. This is represented as something wonderful, (Job v. 9., and xxxvii. 6.) though conformable to the laws of nature. The preservation of things is like a new creation. (Calmet) --- And the herb, &c. Herbam, (Psalm ciii. 14.; Haydock) is now wanting in Hebrew, as it was in the days of St. Jerome and the Chaldean, though the Septuagint, Aquila, &c., read it, and it is not probable that they would borrow it from another psalm. (Berthier) --- Their copies must therefore have varied. (Haydock) --- The herb, may denote corn, and all vegetables for food. These productions evince the goodness and wisdom of God, (Berthier) as well as his power. (Worthington)
Haydock, George Leo. "Commentary on Psalms 146:8". "George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary". http://odl.studylight.org/commentaries/hcc/psalms-146.html. 1859.
The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind (Isaiah 35:5) - both the literally and the spiritually blind: those ignorant of the way of salvation (Deuteronomy 28:29; Isaiah 59:10; Job 12:25).
The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down - from Psalms 145:14.

(8) Openeth.—Here, and through the verse, the verbs are participles. The elliptical "open the blind" is easily understood.
Blindness is sometimes figurative of distress and helplessness (Deuteronomy 28:29; Isaiah 59:9, &c), sometimes of want of mental or spiritual discernment, as Isaiah 29:18; Isaiah 42:7, &c. Here, most probably, the former.
Raiseth.—See Psalms 145:14.

Warning: We're currently working the specification for this API as part of the capabilities project. We'll keep this post updated as this new API moves from design to implementation.
What is the Shape Detection API?
With APIs like navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia and the new Chrome for Android photo picker, it has become fairly easy to capture images or live video data from device cameras, or to upload local images. So far, this dynamic image data—as well as static images on a page—has been opaque, even though images may actually contain a lot of interesting features such as faces, barcodes, and text.
Note: Text detection, despite being an interesting field, is not considered stable enough across either computing platforms or character sets to be standardized at the moment, which is why text detection has been moved to a separate informative specification.
As outlined above, the Shape Detection API currently supports the detection of faces, barcodes, and text. The following bullet list contains examples of use cases for all three features.
Online social networking or photo sharing sites commonly let their users annotate people in images. By highlighting the boundaries of detected faces, this task can be facilitated.
Content sites can dynamically crop images based on potentially detected faces rather than rely on other heuristics, or highlight detected faces with Ken Burns panning and zooming effects in story-like formats.
Multimedia messaging sites can allow their users to overlay funny objects like sunglasses or mustaches on detected face landmarks.
Web applications that read QR codes can unlock interesting use cases like online payments or web navigation, or use barcodes for establishing social connections on messenger applications.
Shopping apps can allow their users to scan EAN or UPC barcodes of items in a physical store to compare prices online.
Airports can expose web kiosks where passengers can scan their boarding passes' Aztec codes to show personalized information related to their flights.
Online social networking sites can improve the accessibility of user-generated image content by adding detected texts as img[alt] attribute values when no other descriptions are provided.
Content sites can use text detection to avoid placing headings on top of hero images with contained text.
Web applications can use text detection to translate texts, for example, to translate restaurant menus.
Note: The origin trial is expected to end in Chrome 74 and the API will be turned off while we integrate developer feedback. You can always use the Shape Detection API for local experiments by enabling the enable-experimental-web-platform-features flag 🚩.
The interfaces of all three detectors, the FaceDetector, the BarcodeDetector, and the TextDetector, are very similar. They all provide a single asynchronous method detect that takes an ImageBitmapSource as an input (that is, either a CanvasImageSource, a Blob, or ImageData).
In the case of FaceDetector and BarcodeDetector, optional parameters can be passed to the detector's constructor that allow for providing hints to the underlying native detectors.
Note: Please carefully check the support matrix in the Explainer for a detailed overview of the different platforms.
Note: If your ImageBitmapSource has an effective script origin which is not the same as the document's effective script origin, then attempts to call detect will fail with a new DOMException whose name is SecurityError. If your image origin supports CORS, you can use the crossorigin attribute to request CORS access.
// on the scene to this maximum number.
// by, e.g., operating on a reduced scale or looking for large features.
// (Optional) A series of barcode formats to search for.
All detectors work asynchronously, that is, they are not blocking the main thread 🎉, so don't rely on realtime detection, but rather allow for some time for the detector to do its work.
If you are a fan of Web Workers (and who isn't?), the good news is that the detectors are exposed there as well. The detection results are serializable and can thus be passed back from the worker to the main app via postMessage. The demo shows this in action.
Not all platform implementations support all features, so be sure to check the support situation carefully and see the API more like a progressive enhancement. For example, some platforms might support face detection per se, but not face landmark detection (eyes, nose, mouth,…); or the existence and the location of text may be recognized, but not the actual text contents.
Note: This API is an optimization and not something guaranteed to be available from the platform for every user. Developers are expected to combine this with their own image recognition code and take advantage of the native optimization when it is available.
We need your help to ensure that the Shape Detection API works in a way that meets your needs and that we're not missing any key scenarios.
We need your help! - Will the current design of the Shape Detection API meet your needs? If it won't, please file an issue in the Shape Detection API repo and provide as much detail as you can.
Have an idea for a use case or an idea where you'd use it?
Do you plan to use this?
Like it, and want to show your support?
Share your thoughts on the Shape Detection API WICG Discourse discussion.

Tuesday's Insider Report: CEO is buying this large-cap dividend stock
Jennifer Dowty
Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.
The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.
Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock's valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider's total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company's shares or units.
Listed below are two securities that have had recent buying activity in the public market reported by insiders.
Nutrien Ltd. (NTR-T)
On Nov. 9, president and chief executive officer Ken Seitz invested over $795,000 in shares of Nutrien. He purchased 7,790 shares at a cost per share of $102.18, initiating a position in this specific account.
The company pays its shareholders a quarterly dividend of 48 US cents per share or US$1.92 per share yearly, equating to a current annualized yield of approximately 2.5 per cent.
Parkland Corp. (PKI-T)
On Nov. 4, chairman of the board of directors Jim Pantelidis purchased a total of 15,300 shares at an average cost per share of approximately $25.74 for three accounts. The cost of these investments exceeded $393,000.
The company pays its shareholders a quarterly dividend of 32.5 cents per share or $1.30 per share yearly, equating to a current annualized yield of 5 per cent.
Listed below are two stocks that have had recent selling activity in the public market reported by insiders.
Boyd Group Services Inc. (BYD-T)
On Nov. 10, chief operating officer – Canadian operations Tony Canade sold 5,000 shares at a price per share of $212, trimming this specific account's holdings to 45,000 shares. Proceeds from the sale exceeded $1-million, excluding trading fees.
Suncor Energy Inc. (SU-T)
On Nov. 4, chief people officer Paul Gardner exercised his options, receiving 20,000 shares at a cost per share of $30.21 and sold 20,000 shares at a price per share of $49.2693, after which this particular account did not hold any shares. Net proceeds totaled over $381,000, excluding any associated transaction fees.

Life is good for Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin.
Not only did his team hold on for a 126-121 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the Western Conference quarterfinals Saturday, but Griffin now has a new pad in which to celebrate his victories.
The acrobatic 25-year-old recently purchased a custom-built, 9,100-square foot home in the Pacific Palisades for $9 million, according to Realtor.com. Among the many features of the "Cape Cod-Inspired" crib are a saltwater pool, a home theater with stadium seating and a plush lounge complete with a full pool table.
Griffin will have little time to enjoy his tricked-out mansion, though. His Clippers will square off against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday to start the second round of the NBA playoffs.
If his season does end early, though, a dip in the saltwater pool should help cheer him up.

Medicine for a Curst Wife, A: Difference between revisions
William Lloyd (talk | contribs)
m (→A Medicine for a Curst Wife in relation to other 'Shrew' plays)
This "Medicine for a Curst Wife" was probably some new version of the "Taming of a Shrew," which preceded Shakespeare's comedy… (225n1)

On the 27th September Dekker was paid 10s. "over and above his price" for the "Medicine for a Curst Wife," owing perhaps to its great success when acted. (238n1)

Hickson, 1850. There is yet another circumstance which Mr. Collier thinks may strengthen his conclusion with regard to the date of [Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew]. He refers to the production of Dekker's Medicine for a Curst Wife, which he thinks was a revival of the old Taming of a Shrew, brought out as a rival to Shakspeare's play. This is easily answered. In the first place, Katharine, the Shrew, is not a "curst wife:" she becomes a wife, it is true, in the course of the play; but this is a part of the process of taming her. But what seems at once to disprove it is, that, according to Henslow's account, Dekker was paid 10_l_. 10_s_. for the piece in question; as Mr. Collier observes, an "unusually large sum" for a new piece, and not likely to be paid for the bashing up of an old one.

ST. GEORGE – No. 18 Dixie State softball returns to Karl Brooks Field this week for a date with No. 2 Chico State in the NCAA Division II West Super Regional. The best-of-three series opens on Thursday at 3 p.m., with game two slated for a 12 p.m. Noon start on Friday. If the teams split the first two games, the if-necessary game will follow at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The winner of the series will earn a berth to the 2018 Division II Women's College World Series in Salem, Virginia.
The Trailblazers (41-8) played their way to the West Super Regional with a sweep of the West 2 Regional in Irvine, California. DSU opened the sub-regional with a 5-4 defeat of Cal State San Bernardino on Thursday, followed by a 3-2 win over No. 12 Concordia-Irvine on Friday. Dixie State officially punched its ticket to the Super Regionals with a second victory over CUI, this time a 4-3 triumph over the Eagles on Saturday.
The Wildcats (53-3) swept through the West 1 Regional on their home field in Chico, edging Northwest Nazarene for a 5-2 victory on Thursday, followed by a 3-0 triumph over California Baptist in nine innings on Friday. Chico State closed out the tournament with another victory over the Lancers, this time a 7-2 win on Saturday.
Live video and stats will be provided by the Dixie State sports information staff. Links for each are available at DixieStateAthletics.com.
ALL-TIME VS. CHICO STATE: Thursday's series-opening game marks the fifth meeting between Dixie State and Chico State. The teams first met on Feb. 15, 2008, at the Schutt Sports Division II Leadoff Classic in Phoenix. The Trailblazers claimed a 4-3 win in the debut matchup between the teams. The Wildcats answered with two consecutive victories, including a 4-3 win in the 2010 West Regionals in the only postseason meeting between the teams. Dixie State won the most recent matchup, a 1-0 triumph at the Tournament of Champions in Turlock on March 30, 2012. The overall series is tied at 2-2, while the 2018 West Super Regional will mark the first time the teams have met on either squad's home field.
ALL-TIME IN WEST SUPER REGIONALS: Dixie State played in its first West Super Regional in 2009, hosting Stanislaus State at Karl Brooks Field. DSU dropped the first game before rallying for two victories the next day to advance to its first Division II Women's College World Series. The Trailblazers also hosted the West Super Regionals in 2014, sweeping Cal State Monterey Bay, and again in 2015, taking both games from Sonoma State. The 2017 West Super Regional marked the first time the Trailblazers played in a Super Regional away from Karl Brooks Field. DSU dropped a pair of close losses, 3-2 and 8-6, in Arcata, marking the Trailblazers first Super Regional loss. Dixie State is 6-3 all-time in West Super Regional games, including a 6-1 mark at Karl Brooks Field.
KNOW YOUR FOE: Chico State enters the West Super Regional with a 53-3 overall record. The Wildcats are the top-ranked team in the West Region and hold the No. 2 ranking in all of Division II. The Wildcats are riding a 28-game win streak and have not lost a game since March 16. Chico State features seven All-West Region players on its roster, including pitcher Haley Gilham (29-2, 1.06 ERA, 217.0 IP, 170 SO), second baseman Karli Skowrup (.366, 63 hits, 60 RBI, 13 2B, 12 HR), designated player Amanda Flores (.372, 42 hits, 32 RBI, 11 2B, 2 HR), pitcher Naomi Monahan (15-1, 2.83 ERA, 99.0 IP, 70 SO), first baseman Cyrena Taylor (.331, 55 hits, 37 RBI, 15 2B, 4 HR), shortstop Wendy Cardinali (.313, 51 hits, 33 RBI, 10 2B, 10 HR), and outfielder Kristin Worley (.394, 61 hits, 22 RBI, 11 2B).
MAKING HISTORY: Janessa Bassett became the DSU Softball career hits leader with a leadoff single in the first inning at Chaminade on March 12 for her 249th career hit, passing Courtney Hine (248, 2012-15). Bassett has recorded 31 more hits since then for a current career total of 280 hits. Additionally, Bassett broke the DSU Softball career runs scored record on February 10 when she scored on a Riley Tyteca single in the top of the fifth inning vs. MSU Billings. The run marked her 184th career run scored, passing Courtney Hine (183, 2012-15). Bassett has scored 61 runs since then for a career total of 245 runs scored. In all, Bassett is the career leader at Dixie State in hits, runs scored, triples, total bases, walks drawn, and stolen bases.
Cambrie Hazel earned her 10th win of the season on March 29 vs. Azusa Pacific to become just the second freshman (Lauren Folta, 2009; 15-6) in the DSU softball NCAA era to notch 10 wins in a season. Hazel has earned nine more wins since then to improve to 19-3 on the season. Additionally, Hazel has tossed five no-hitters, including a perfect game vs. NDNU on March 3, this season to set a new DSU career no-hitters record. Aryn Feickert (2014-16) held the previous mark with three career no-hitters.
As a team, the Trailblazers recorded their best start in program history, winning 20 consecutive games to start the 2018 season, before falling at Hawai'i Pacific on March 14.
400-WIN CLUB: Head coach Randy Simkins recorded his 400th career win when the Trailblazers swept Chaminade in a doubleheader on March 12. Simkins currently holds a 421-116 (.784) record in his 10th season at Dixie State.
PACWEST/NFCA WEEKLY AWARDS: The Trailblazers racked up nine PacWest weekly awards this season. Cambrie Hazel owns six of the nine, earning four PacWest Pitcher of the Week awards to go with two PacWest Freshman of the Week. Hazel was also named NFCA Division II National Pitcher of the Week on April 11.
Janessa Bassett garnered the other PacWest weekly awards, grabbing PacWest Player of the Week honor three times. Bassett was also named NFCA Division II National Player of the Week on February 14.
TRAILBLAZERS LAND SIX ALL-PACWEST HONORS: Dixie State landed six All-PacWest honors on Tuesday. Janessa Bassett, Bailey Gaffin, and Jessica Gonzalez earned first-team honors, while Cambrie Hazel and Kenzie Sawyer landed on the second team. Kori Gahn garnered the team's lone third-team selection.
FOUR TRAILBLAZERS GARNER ALL-REGION HONORS: Janessa Bassett, Cambrie Hazel, and Bailey Gaffin each earned NFCA All-West Region honors earlier this month. Bassett earned first-team honors, while Hazel and Gaffin landed on the second team. Additionally, Bassett, Gaffin, Hazel, and Jessica Gonzalez earned D2CCA All-Region honors. Bassett and Gaffin earned first-team honors, while Hazel and Gonzalez landed on the second team.
THE SIMKINS FILE: Randy Simkins enters his 10th year as the Dixie State head softball coach in 2018, after a stint as head coach at DSU while competing in the junior college ranks. He led Dixie State to a program-best 49-6 record in 2004 while the school competed as an NJCAA program. In 2015, the Trailblazers recorded the most wins as a Division II program with 52 victories. Simkins has led DSU to four PacWest championships, two West Region championships, two trips to the College World Series, and a national runner-up finish in 2015.
2018 ROSTER: Dixie State returns 13 starters from the 2017 squad, led by senior outfielder Janessa Bassett. A three-time first team All-PacWest honoree and three-time All-American, Bassett led Dixie State in batting average for the third consecutive season in 2017, hitting .406 with 43 runs scored, 19 RBI, and conference-best marks in on-base percentage (.519), stolen bases (42), and triples (5). She also set the new DSU career stolen bases record, stealing 42 bases on 45 attempts for a career total of 118 stolen bases. Additionally, Bassett, was named PacWest Defender of the Year, and was near-perfect defensively, logging a .983 fielding percentage with 59 putouts in 60 chances.
The Trailblazers return three other All-PacWest honorees, including Jessica Gonzalez, Bailey Gaffin, and Kenzie Sawyer.
Gonzalez earned D2CCA All-West Region and second team PacWest honors in 2017. She finished the season in the Top-10 of six different statistical categories in the PacWest, including slugging percentage (.610), fielding percentage (.990), RBI (40), home runs (11), walks drawn (22), and caught stealing by (11).
Gaffin enjoyed a breakout season in 2017 and landed D2CAA/NFCA All-West Region honors and second team All-PacWest honors. She finished the season in the Top-10 in five different statistical categories in the PacWest, including batting average (.390), slugging percentage (.585), on-base percentage (.463), hits (62), and RBI (43). Defensively, Gaffin logged a .957 fielding percentage, recording 102 putouts and 74 assists in 184 chances.
Sawyer was named the PacWest Newcomer of the Year in 2017, as she transitioned seamlessly from the junior college ranks to the PacWest, hitting .327 with 26 RBI, eight doubles, and four home runs. She recorded nine multi-RBI games, reached base in 14 consecutive games, and earned PacWest Player of the Week honors on February 20.
Alyssa Arslanian joins the team as the only junior college transfer addition in 2018. Arslanian hit .431 with 106 RBI, 31 doubles, and 27 home runs in two seasons at Snow College.

The Tylt is giving away 25 gifts in 25 days
By Natalie Neusch
Sleigh bells are ringing, holiday lights are flickering, and fruit cakes are a' baking. Clearly it's that holly jolly time of year–for some. Many parents are decking their halls and lining up in malls nationwide to get that cherished photo of their little one with 'ol St. Nick. But other families are questioning whether or not it's harmful to perpetuate the fantasy that is Santa Claus and are trying to debunk the man behind the myth. What do you think: Should kids believe in Santa Claus?

Christmas without Santa Claus is like trying to pass off an Oreo without the creme filling—it's just not the same thing. While many families' beliefs—religious or otherwise—don't subscribe to the man in the red suit, for those who do partake, the myth of Santa Claus is an integral part of holiday tradition that also serves as a teaching tool extolling the virtues of being naughty or nice. For many, the most treasured Christmas memories involve the belief in Santa Claus, and denying kids that idea of fantasy is taking away a bit of magic from their childhood. As Psychology Today author and Ph.D. Vanessa LoBue puts it, "fantasy in general is a normal and healthy part of child development."

On the other hand, Santa Claus has been a controversial figure among parents and psychologists alike for decades. No matter how many ways you sugar-cookie coat it, the story is an utter fabrication, and many are overlooking that we're simply teaching children an outright lie. Some scientists have also pointed out the possible psychological effects on children once they come to the distressing realization that this fairy tale they've been spoon-fed for years isn't real. University of New England social scientist Kathy McKay states in an article in the Lancet psychiatry journal, "Morally, making children believe in myths such as this has to be questioned."
Tradition or not, a lie is a lie—and Santa Claus is no more likely to come down your chimney than the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy.
