What is a heatwave?
A heatwave occurs when the maximum and the minimum temperatures are unusually hot over a three-day period in a specific location. This is considered in relation to the local climate and past weather at that place.
It takes more than just a high daily maximum temperature to define a heatwave. It's also about how much it cools down overnight. If the temperature stays high overnight, the maximum will be reached earlier the following day and will last longer. When unusually high night and daytime temperatures persist, heat stress becomes a critical factor in human health and whether infrastructure functions properly. In heatwaves, hot nights make it harder to recover from the heat of the day and this puts more stress on the body.
Heatwaves are classified into three types, based on intensity.
Low-intensity heatwaves are more frequent during summer. Most people can cope during these heatwaves.
Severe heatwaves are less frequent and are likely to be more challenging for vulnerable people such as the elderly, particularly those with medical conditions.
Extreme heatwaves are rare. They are a problem for people who don't take precautions to keep cool – even for people who are healthy. People who work or exercise outdoors are also at greater risk of being affected.
(Understanding heatwaves, Bureau of Meteorology; BOM Weather Guide: Heatwaves, Bureau of Meteorology)
Where do heatwaves occur?
Heatwaves can occur all over Australia. For each part of the country, heatwaves are calculated by comparing the forecast maximum and minimum temperatures for each three-day period in the coming week (e.g. Monday – Wednesday, Tuesday – Thursday) to the 'normal' temperatures expected for that location at that time of year, and to observed temperatures over the last 30 days.
Using this calculation takes into account people's ability to adapt to the heat. For example, the same high temperature will be felt differently by residents in Perth compared to those in Hobart, who are not used to the higher range of temperatures experienced in Perth.
(Understanding heatwaves, Bureau of Meteorology)
Severe and extreme heatwaves have claimed more lives than any other natural hazard in Australia.
The bulk of heatwaves at each location are of low intensity, with most people expected to have adequate capacity to cope with this level of heat. Less frequent, higher intensity heatwaves are classified as severe and will be challenging for some more vulnerable people, heatwaves can be dangerous because they post health risks to the most vulnerable people, such as the elderly and very young children.
Extreme heatwaves are a risk for anyone who does not take precautions to keep cool, even those who are healthy. Heatwaves can also affect the transport, agriculture and energy sectors and associated infrastructure.

Some suggestions……In every situation there is "good" and "bad"(positie vs negative) EVERY situation. It's a universal truth. We must look for the good. Shifting your attention from "Lack" to what you have(which is alot) will shift your thoughts to gratitude which then will have a healthier emotional effect on your well being. They are all connected. It's just a matter of practice. Good Luck!
I agree. Perfectly said. Thanks.
Limelight: Soon you'll relish the many hours you have, the alone time, and quietude and indulgence in self. It's when you've fully embraced it like a warm hug that your partner will come along — quite unexpectedly. You'll look back at this time favorably, knowing you spent it on YOURSELF and invested in your well being. I hope you'll write about the day it all comes together for you — soon.
What a great article and right on point about letting go of negativity. I am a great believer, both for clients and for myself, in venting about stresses in our lives for emotional, mental and physical well-being. However, there is a point or line past which holding on to negativity does not serve us at all-it actually holds us back.
Don't be afraid; don't cling to negativity or refuse to let go of it or hide behind it. No-everything will not continue to be awful or empty for you or for me. William has done a fabulous job of getting his client to lower resistance to positive thinking.
Don't worry-I'm not a PollyAnna; I know how tough and frightening and lonely things can be, however, I also know how quickly we can change those feelings if we allow ourselves to. If I stop to admire a flower in my yard and it gives me pleasure so I look up smiling at a neighbor and we speak pleasantly, if briefly, I'm on the path of small steps to better things. Believe in them, believe in you-go ahead, be brave-let go of that shield of negativity and stand, for a moment, unprotected to allow even the smallest positive item to fly, unimpeded, right to you. Bigger and better things to follow.
Do the previous few sentences mean I "don't get it" about people needing to obtain a job, a home, money to get out of debt, health insurance? Absolutely not-I definitely understand it. However, if we allow the small positives to come to us unimpeded, the medium and large positives are certain to follow as our spirit and aura are affected by the initial positive events. Think of a drop of water falling on a granite rock.
This is why having a psychic reading can be so helpful and productive, it can greatly allow you to gain a true no-emotional perspective, then it gives you the courage to take the necessary steps to really become empowered in your life because you will have the upper hand….
In addition, none of my predictions have come true, but they have given me hope that possibilities and dreams can come true.
A vicious cycle of negativity…?
I am a single, 30 years old female who has a great job, house, and car, but suffer from depression.
I have always had an unbelievable amount of faith to encourage others through hard times. For the last year, I have been trying to keep a smile on my face and stay positive. I have read a lot of self-help book, exercised, made vision boards, and found hobbies to keep myself busy, but I am still alone at the end of the day.
I have been going through an extreme metamorphosis spiritually, and have begun to question my faith.
I have no friends, family, or lifeline of support. I struggle with daily task and have a large amount of obligation. I am on the break of it all, but I am still here. I have not complained, I have cried in privacy, but I have not complained.
Obviously, I still want to believe in a source higher than myself, because I am still here… The readings I get online are for hope 100% of the time. It is not always about negativity or bitterness… Sometimes we have a life cycle that we just have to play out. Believe me I am so optimistic that it is unrealistic.
Bad things happen to good people. It is a test of faith sometime in the pursuit of happiness.

Amodel 1/72 Yakovlev Yak-55M Kit First Look
Yakovlev Yak-55M
Nicely detailed kit
Nothing noted
The Yakovlev Yak-55M is a competion-grade sport aerobatic aircraft which has won several world aerobatic championships since it was first produced in 1986. The Yak-55M is a clipped-wing version of the standard Yak-55 which allows for very impressive roll-rates to be achieved. The aircraft is powered by a 360 horsepower Vedeneyev M14P engine.
Aircraft that are flown against the Yak-55M in these aerobatics championships include the Sukhoi Su-26 and Su-31, as well as the Extra 300.
Amodel has produced another member of the Yakovlev family - the Yak-55M. The kit is molded in light gray styrene, and is presented on four parts trees, plus a clear canopy.
The kit is a simple build with some nice features including separately molded (huge) ailerons, rudder, and elevators. the kit also includes some additional parts not used in this build from the standard Yak-55 including a smaller rudder and two-bladed propeller.
A basic single-place cockpit is provided which is fine as the canopy is one-piece and not positionable.
Markings are provided for one example, but not what you might think. The decals look like a military trainer, but these markings are from a privately-owned Yak-55M in Italy bearing pseudo-Soviet markings for show.
This is a nice little kit that will build into a unique subject with a little patience and skill.
This kit is recommended for aerobatic competition modelers.
My sincere thanks to HobbyTerra for this review sample!


IN 2011, Foster Huntington quit his successful job in New York City to live in a tree house (two, actually) on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge in the US. In a few months, with the help of friends and a construction crew, Foster created his dream world, complete with treetop homes connected by swinging bridges, an on-site skate bowl, and wood-fired hot tub. Luckily, he captured the whole process on his social media accounts. And as you can imagine, it wasn't long before he became a sensation….

Forward set for spell on the sidelines.
Tyler Roberts is facing an extended period out after picking up an ankle injury in training earlier this week.
Initial scans show that forward Roberts, 19, has a small crack on his shin which will need further assessment and consultation with a specialist this week before the club can provide an update on a timescale for Tyler's return to action.
Head Coach Paul Heckingbottom said: "This is disappointing news for all concerned, especially for Tyler.
"However, with the help of the experienced medical team at Thorp Arch, he will come back stronger than ever.

Hopefully they will have a better season this time around starting with Sunday night's matchup. The top players for the team start with the quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

The Green Bay Packers 2017 season had a slightly better ending with a record of 7-9. It was in 2016 when the Packers last saw the playoffs but they were stamped out by the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game. These teams will face off on Sunday but before the season ends they will meet again in December in Chicago. Although Aaron Rogers is the teams #1 quarterback Brett Hundley led the stats in 2017. He finished with 1836 passing yards and on 316 attempts he completed 192 resulting in 9 touchdowns.

From 1857 to 1860, this building was the first location of the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children. Founded by Doctors Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell, it was the first American hospital run by and for women.
It was also a very early instance in New York of a homosocial sphere of professional women, and one in which lesbians were integral.

This grand Federal style house was rented from 1857 to 1860 as the first location of the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, founded by Doctors Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell, the first and third American female doctors. Dr. Emily Blackwell (1826-1910) and Dr. Marie Elizabeth Zakrzewska (1829-1902), two of the three female physicians at the infirmary, today might identify as lesbian, illustrating the social and professional impact of lesbians even decades before the more well-known women of the progressive reform movement era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Built in 1822-23, it was originally the residence of James and Harriet Howland Roosevelt, great-grandparents of future President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, until 1856.
Born in England, Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) moved with her family to New York City in 1832. She became a teacher, but decided to attempt the study of medicine. She was rejected by numerous medical schools because she was a woman, and in 1847 was only accepted at Geneva Medical College, Geneva, New York, because administrators left it up to a vote of the male students. After receiving her medical degree in 1849, as the first American woman to do so, she received practical training in Europe, then settled in New York City in 1851. She attempted to set up a medical practice but had great difficulty attracting clients. The city's male medical establishment was openly hostile to a woman doctor, and even women who had supported her were not ready to patronize her. This was a primary reason why in 1853 she established the New York Dispensary for Indigent Women and Children, near Tompkins Square.
Dr. Blackwell convinced her younger sister, Emily, to follow her into studying medicine. Emily was admitted at Rush Medical College, Chicago, but the trustees were pressured by the state medical society to dismiss her. She completed a degree in 1854 at Cleveland Medical College, a department of Western Reserve College in Cleveland, Ohio. Only the third American woman doctor, she received practical training in Europe and moved to New York City in 1856.
Together, the Blackwell sisters expanded the services offered at the Dispensary by opening the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, at 58 (originally numbered 64) Bleecker Street, on May 12, 1857. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was the director, and Dr. Emily Blackwell was the surgeon. They were joined by Dr. Zakrzewska, as resident physician. Born in Berlin in a Polish noble family, Zakrzewska had gained experience working with her midwife mother, completed some studies in Berlin, and moved to New York in 1853. With the encouragement of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, she was accepted at, and received her degree from, Cleveland Medical College. When she returned to New York in 1856, she was a leading fund-raiser for the Infirmary.
The Infirmary was the first American hospital for women that was staffed entirely by and run by women. Supported by subscriptions and donations, it provided free medical care for poor women and children, and also provided critical clinical experience for women going into medicine, as well as free training for female nurses, becoming one of the first such American facilities. The first floor of the Infirmary was used for the dispensary, an examination room, and an operating room; the second floor had two wards; the third floor was a maternity ward; and the attic housed students, servants, and Dr. Zakrzewska. From the beginning, it was a huge success. The Infirmary also launched a "sanitary visitor" program for instruction to poor mothers on infant care and family health, in their homes – thus this was the precursor by several decades to the Henry Street Settlement's Visiting Nurse Service, begun in 1893.
The Infirmary was also a very early instance in New York of a homosocial sphere of professional women, and one in which lesbians were integral. As stated in an Annual Report:
The essential feature of this Institution is that it is an effort of women to help themselves by the steady and earnest cultivation of a valuable field of industry.
Annual Report, 1859
Dr. Zakrzewska left the Infirmary in 1859, and moved to Boston where she became a professor of obstetrics at the New England Female Medical College. In 1862, she opened the New England Hospital for Women and Children, the second such institution run by women in the U.S. That same year, Julia Sprague moved into her home, and they had a relationship that lasted until the doctor's death 40 years later.
After its three-year lease on Bleecker Street expired, the Infirmary acquired a larger and less costly building at 126 Second Avenue (demolished), and moved in 1860. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell began traveling back to England in 1859, giving a year-long lecture tour. In 1868, the sisters founded the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary. This was another significant institution run by women. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell served as professor of hygiene, and Dr. Emily Blackwell was professor of obstetrics and diseases of women. The older sister permanently moved to England in 1869. Dr. Emily Blackwell thus fully deserves credit as the primary force in building, managing, fund-raising, and expanding both of their institutions. She served as dean and professor at the Women's Medical College for 30 years. It became a three-year program in 1876, a four-year college in 1893, and ceased in 1899 when its students were transferred to Cornell University Medical College, which then admitted women. Lillian Wald, founder of the Henry Street Settlement in 1893, was a student at the college in 1891 and was thus profoundly influenced by Dr. Blackwell and the Infirmary's programs.
Elizabeth Cushier (1837-1931) entered Dr. Emily Blackwell's life in 1870 as a later-in-life student at the Women's Medical College. Born in Jamaica, Queens, Cushier graduated in 1872 and completed a year and a half of further studies in Zurich. She returned to New York and became a gynecological surgeon at the Infirmary and a professor of obstetrics and surgery at the College. The two doctors formed a Boston marriage, living together at 53 East 20th Street (demolished) from 1882 to c. 1900, and were together for 28 years until Blackwell's death.

Fairfield County Woman Takes Home $250K CT Lottery Prize
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The new book by Fairfield baker and author Abigail Johnson Dodge picked up an accolade Sunday at the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) conference in Los Angeles.
"The Everyday Baker," published by The Taunton Press in Newtown, was selected as the winner in the Baking: Savory or Sweet category.
The 600-page book, which Dodge's 10th, includes recipes for a full gamut of baked goods, both savory and sweet.
"When my editor and I first discussed the book, we agreed that we wanted to produce a comprehensive baking book that was a collection of sweet and savory recipes presented in an instructional cooking-school format," Dodge says. "The goal was to teach bakers of every skill level all the essential techniques they would need to bake with confidence and authority."
Dodge, a contributing editor to Fine Cooking magazine, says the book will appeal to everyone who loves to bake.
"I developed the recipes and supporting instructional information for anyone who likes, loves or lives to bake, from newbies to experienced bakers," she says.
"I've even heard from many professional chefs who have modified some of their recipes to reflect my techniques."
Dodge, whose previous books include "The Weekend Baker" and "Mini Treats & Hand-Held Sweets," put a lot of time into "The Everyday Baker."
"From conception to printing, the book took just about four years of more-than-full-time attention," she says. "In the cookbook-publishing world, that's an extraordinary amount of time."
After spending almost four years working on her new book, Dodge is ready to turn her attention to new projects.
"I've recently updated my website, abbydodge.com, with a shiny new look, and I'll be spending some time tweaking and tinkering as well as adding new content," she says. "The 'Everyday Baker' took my full attention for so long that it's nice to redirect some energy and creativity to the website."

On the 95th anniversary of his birthday, Art & Hue is taking a moment to remember director and editor Seth Holt.
His directorial debut was "Nowhere To Go" in which Maggie Smith made her first main film appearance, and his last film was "Blood From The Mummy's Tomb" starring Valerie Leon.
A struggling alcoholic, Holt died during production of the Hammer Horror and Michael Carreras (the director of "What a Crazy World") had to finish filming duties.
Before directing, Holt was known as a great editor having cut together "The Lavender Hill Mob" and "The Titfield Thunderbolt" and was apparently parachuted in to work his editing magic on "Saturday Night Sunday Morning" and "The Entertainer".
Seems inappropriate to raise a glass to a talent whose life was cut short from alcoholism at 47, so Art & Hue will take a moment to remember him by raising a banana, just like Valerie Leon in his last film.


Pointe-Claire residents will have a say on how best to pay tribute to the late Tony Proudfoot at a new park bearing his name.
Pointe-Claire residents will have a say in how best to pay tribute to the late Tony Proudfoot at a new park bearing his name.
The city is inviting residents to take part in the development of Tony Proudfoot Park by answering online polls on Pointe-Claire, It's Who We Are and by attending a public consultation Feb. 28 at Pointe-Claire City Hall.
Tony-Proudfoot Park will be developed at the intersection of Gendron and Des Frênes Avenues in the Greenwich neighbourhood, behind the FP Innovations building on St-Jean Blvd. near Hymus Blvd.
The new park will include walking paths and universally accessible equipment for playgrounds and rest areas for children aged 2 to 12.
The city is asking citizens through its online website how to pay tribute to Proudfoot, the former CFL football player who won a pair of Grey Cups with the Montreal Alouettes in 1974 and 1977.
Proudfoot, a longtime Pointe-Claire resident, died at age 61 in 2010 after battling ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Until Feb. 18, citizens can vote online for their favourite option to pay tribute to Proudfoot inside the park. The options are: 1) One or two signs in the shape of goal posts summarizing Proudfoot's life; 2) A rock with a commemorative plaque bearing the name of Proudfoot; 3) A bench in the shape of a football with a plaque honouring Proudfoot.
Then from Feb. 8 to 18 inclusively, residents can vote online for playground equipment options.
The city decided to name a new park after Proudfoot following a public nomination process.
"The park was named after Tony Proudfoot last year after we received 60 suggestions for names from residents," said Mayor John Belvedere.
Proudfoot's wife Vicki told the West Island Gazette last year she was touched by the civic honour bestowed upon her late husband.
Tony Proudfoot was born in Winnipeg and moved to Pointe-Claire as a child. He attended Cedar Park Elementary (now Clearpoint). In 1966, he graduated from John Rennie High School where he starred on the football team.
Proudfoot also taught physical education at Dawson College for 30 years and was a longtime radio analyst for Alouettes football broadcasts. After he was diagnosed with ALS in 2007, he created the Tony Proudfoot Fund to support medical research and help those afflicted with the disease.
The city says work on the park will begin this summer and fall.
Proudfoot Park is to be inaugurated in the spring of 2020.

Who doesn't love brunch on a lazy weekend morning but have you ever wondered where this late morning meal originated from?
Cooking up brunch for some of our diners last week, we pondered this very question so decided to do some research and find out!
Brunch, a blend of breakfast and lunch, originated in England in the late 19th century. The term was coined in Britain in 1895 by Guy Beringer to describe a Sunday meal for "Saturday-night carousers", so in effect a hangover meal.
The idea was that instead of partaking in an early Sunday lunch, often involving heavy meats and savoury pies which weren't easy on a delicate stomach, it would be preferable to replace this meal with a slightly earlier and lighter variation.
Food historians give differing accounts of what brunch would have looked like in the early days. A favoured view is that the first brunches were an English hunt breakfast – a feast of meats hunted that day, along with eggs, stews, fruits and sweets.
The tradition caught on in the United States in the 1930s, where Hollywood stars making transcontinental train trips frequently stopped off in Chicago to enjoy a late morning meal. Since most restaurants didn't open on Sundays, brunch was most often served in hotels.
However, it wasn't long before restaurants got in on the act and started opening on Sundays to serve brunch. They put their spin on the late morning meal and introduced morning cocktails, such as Bloody Marys, Bellinis and Mimosas to the spread.
Today, brunch fare covers a whole host of foods with eggs, pancakes and bacon popular choices.
When it comes to your brunch beverage, you can choose a fruit juice, tea or hand roasted coffee to accompany your meal or, if you prefer, a morning cocktail from the bar.
To book brunch at Blinis, please call us on 01395 572920.

Sources stress that negotiations are early and that the script is still being worked on, but both sides have officially begun discussing her coming on to the project. Bill Skarsgard is also expected to return as Pennywise. The sequel will bow on Sept. 6, 2019, with production expected to start this summer.
Chastain has been linked to the sequel for some time following its monster opening weekend, as the Muschiettis mentioned her in an interview with Variety as a top choice to play adult Beverly in the sequel. Rumors even surfaced of a post-credits scene in which Chastain could have made a cameo, though that never came to fruition.
Another layer to the rumors: Chastain has worked with Muschietti before, having starred in his …

Arnold Schwarzenegger Joins Kung Fury
THR is reporting Michael Fassbender and David Hasselhoff have already been cast in the buzzy follow-up to David Sandberg's cult 2015 action-comedy short, which Bloom is introducing to buyers in Berlin.
In what sounds like a match made in '80s heaven, Arnold Schwarzenegger has joined the cast of Kung Fury, the feature-length follow-up to the cult 2015 short.
The Terminator, Predator and Total Recall icon (and former California governor) will play the American president in David Sandberg's action-comedy, set to shoot in Europe and in the U.S. this summer. He joins fellow '80s hero David Hasselhoff and Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender, who were announced earlier this week.
The original Kung Fury is a cheesy and comically OTT homage to '80s martial arts and police action films. It became a Kickstarter sensation that bowed in Cannes' Directors Fortnight and has gained over 40 million views worldwide. Swedish filmmaker Sandberg, creator of the short, will als…
Anne Hathaway To Star In The Last Thing He Wanted
Anne Hathaway is in negotiations to star in "Mudbound" director Dee Rees' "The Last Thing He Wanted," based on the Joan Didion political thriller. Elevated's Cassian Elwes will produce and The Fyzz Facility's Wayne Marc Godfrey and Robert Jones will produce and finance. Bloom is introducing the project to buyers in Berlin.
Marco Villalobos penned the screenplay, which is "a thrilling story of one woman, alone and unrelenting in a race against time," according to a statement. Elwes ("Dallas Buyers Club") optioned the book from Didion to develop it with Rees following their collaboration on "Mudbound," which received four Academy Award nominations, including one for Rees for adapted screenplay.
The film, which is in pre-production, centers on hardscrabble journalist Elena McMahon who finds herself on dangerous ground as the Iran Contra Affair's arms for drugs plot reaches its tipping point.

#BlackPanther Opens Huge
Disney-Marvel's "Black Panther" is heading for a super-heroic $218 million debut over the four-day President's Day weekend at 4,020 North American locations, estimates showed Sunday.
That number means that "Black Panther," starring Chadwick Boseman and directed by Ryan Coogler, has doubled its original tracking in less than a month. The film, which carries an estimated $200 million production cost, had been tracking to bring in between an impressive $100 and $120 million when first estimates emerged on Jan. 25. Since then, "Black Panther" has become a must-see movie for many moviegoers, underlined when Thursday previews brought in $25.2 million, the largest Thursday night preview gross for a February opener and the second-largest preview gross for a Marvel film.
The film's estimated three-day gross of $192 million is the highest debut ever for a February film and the fifth highest of all time. Combined with an estimated international debut of…

Должниково — исторический район Москвы и бывшее сельцо на западе поселения Сосенского Новомосковского административного округа. Сейчас на месте сельца находится заброшенный КП Лесная Симфония.

География
Располагается на месте недостроенного КП «Лесная Симфония», на левом берегу реки Сосенки.

История
В XIV—XVI веках к западу от будущего сельца Должникова существовало селище Зимёнки-2. В XV—XVI веках к северу от селища Зимёнки-2 существовало селище Зимёнки-1.

В 1675 году Должниково является деревней и вотчиной стольника Максима Загряжского, в 1687 году за сыном его Василием, а во время генерального межевания — за его внуком Петром Загряжским, уже с господской усадьбой и 15 душами крестьян.

В 1852 году Должниково куплено на аукционе владельцем соседнего сельца Никольского. Вскоре деревня была упразднена и переселана частично в Никольское, частично — в Марьинские выселки.

В 20-х годах — хутор Должонки, входил в состав совхоза «Николо-Хованское», позже вошедшего в состав совхоза «Коммунарка».

В 1952 году хутор Должонки на картах не значится, на его месте обозначены строения и пасека, а в 1968 году на месте бывшего сельца отмечен пруд, которого, однако, уже нет на спутниковом снимке 1972 года.

К северо-западу от бывшего хутора к 2001 году возникает СНТ «Газовик».

В 2019 году к северу от бывшего хутора открываются станции метро «Филатов Луг» и «Прокшино».

Примечания


Tannaz and Giamma got married on the beautiful island of Capri in Italy. The three-day celebrations got started on the Friday afternoon with a Persian ceremony on the roof of Capri Palace, before guests were transported to cliff-side trattoria and the Phly Boyz kicked off the wild party whilst fireworks glittered over the sea. On the Saturday Tannaz, slipped into her second show-stopping gown for a traditional catholic ceremony in Ana Capri. The church doors were framed with a wild floral arch and a 25-piece Scialapopolo Capri band lined the winding Italian streets singing and clapping with guests on their walk back to the reception. Tannaz exclaimed 'I feel like I'm in a Dolce & Gabbana ad'!
Here's a few photographs from the second day of celebrations. See the BRIDES feature here.


This 19th-century park contains three disparate yet must-see buildings in the same spot. The most emblematic is the neoclassical Casino Nobile, designed by Giuseppe Valadier, which houses the sculpture collection of the Torlonia family, as well as period furniture and painting. The Casino dei Principi, the former family residence of Mussolini, holds temporary exhibitions and the Casina delle Civette has been operating as a museum dedicated to stained-glass windows since 1997.

Hexcrawl Chess
Lately I've been thinking (too much) about fusing hexagonal chess with a hexcrawl, and here's what I came up with. It requires an RPG ruleset but it's system-agnostic. I imagine something like Traveller but you could probably do it with a fantasy setting or anything else. It's an OSR-feeling kinda thing. The important part (I think) is that the RPG system should have very simple, cut-and-dry, combat rules.
Disclaimer: This is a first pass. I don't expect it to be 100% playable yet, as I'm sure there are missing bits and unconsidered edge cases. But I think it's done enough to start playtesting, so here I go!
Two groups are warring for control of an alien planet. Neither is very familiar with the local lifeforms. Write statblocks for each piece using your chosen RPG system.
When you move a piece into or through a hex no one has occupied before, roll its terrain and climate (perhaps using the Welsh Piper rules), and draw the terrain icon on the board.
Every time a piece ends its move, make an encounter roll based on terrain and climate.
If an encounter occurs, that unit must defeat or bypass the encounter before proceeding.
If an encounter occurs in a hex occupied by two opposing pieces (i.e., a capture has just been attempted), roll 1d6 to determine which side is affected by the encounter: (1-2) attacker, (3-4) defender, (5-6) both. If both sides are involved in the encounter, it's up to the players to determine whether or not they cooperate; think Braunstein-level roleplay.
When a unit defeats an encounter, roll 1d6 for the value of the Treasure found there. If both sides shared in the victory, each side gets 1d3.
Treasure Points accumulate and may be used to purchase new pieces (using traditional chess scoring rules: pawn=1, bishop or knight=3, rook=5).
New pieces must be purchased at the beginning of one's turn, and must enter the board via one of the original starting positions for that piece.
Piece moves are based on:
Dragonfly Chess by Christian Freeling
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_%28chess_variant%29
...which is based on Gliński's Hexagonal Chess by Władysław Gliński
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_chess#Gli.C5.84ski.27s_hexagonal...
Here's a demo video showing 15 turns of Hexcrawl Chess, using D&D and the Wilderness Hexploration rules:

Global Warming Exposes Resources but Arctic Meeting Leaves Some Out in the Cold
Yesterday March 29, prior to welcoming the G8 foreign ministers for a meeting on global security, Lawrence Cannon, Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs hosted a summit of five Arctic coastal countries (Canada, Russia, the U.S., Norway and Denmark). The talks addressed continental shelf delineation, resource development, national security, shipping routes and environmental protection.
Technically, the Arctic is the area within the Arctic Circle, but we can also think of the Arctic as the area north of the treeline, where there is only tundra and the Arctic Ocean, or the area where the average temperature for the warmest month is below 10°C (50°F).
In the last several years, Canada, the U.S., Denmark, Norway and Russia have all made competing claims to the Arctic. Under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, countries bordering the Arctic can assert ownership of natural resources up to 200 miles off their coasts.
The renewed interest in the Arctic is due to global warming which is causing the ice cover to disappear for several months a year (in 2007, for the first time in modern history the North-West Passage was free of ice). The warming of the Arctic will open up a new Atlantic-Pacific shipping channel and access to up to 90 billion barrels of oil and other resources.
New transport routes will further increase tensions in the far north as well as imperil the fragile Arctic ecosystem.
Many are concerned that the environment is not getting the attention it deserves at these talks. In the Arctic, the majority of biological activity is limited to a very short window of time. As a result, any interference, such as shipping activities, can have a huge impact on the natural ecological and biological patterns of the Arctic.
The Arctic meeting was also criticized for excluding aboriginal people and other Arctic nations (Sweden, Finland and Iceland), pompting Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to say,"significant international discussions on Arctic issues should include those who have legitimate interests in the region."
In Monday's Press conference Cannon responding to these criticisms, repeatedly mentioned "cooperation and collaboration," adding, "protecting the environment is a priority."

A plaque at Blue Pearl bears a William Shedd quote �A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for�. The forecast for our charter was the same every day: strong SSE wind warning, isolated showers, swell and seas to 3m. We could have stayed in safe harbour, but inspired by this, we took �Serendipity� as far and wide as she could in these conditions.
The nature and appeal of area is the good protection found from every wind direction, and we enjoyed calm nights in the eastern anchorages on Hook and Whitsunday Islands. The best time to sail was in the morning when the winds were lighter. Heading northwards with the wind and sea behind us we surfed along; southwards had us ploughing into the waves with spray flying.
Of the beautiful bays for snorkelling, Stonehaven, Butterfly and Blue Pearl were best. The water was clear and among the bright coral we saw an amazing array of fish, squid, rays and turtles. On leaving Butterfly Bay, we were entertained by mother whale and calf 50 metres off the entrance.
When not swimming we enjoyed fossicking on the beaches. Our walking party was brought to a halt by a 2 metre python making its way across the walk trail from Sawmill Beach to Jones Point �wisely, we waited patiently until it lazily moved off into the morning chill. We appreciated the warm comfort of sleeping on board rather than camping on the island!
Serendipity earned its name revealing delights in water and on land at each island we visited � Hook, Hayman, Whitsunday, South Molle, Double Cone and finally tranquil Woodwark Bay. We handed the yacht back on the last day in perfect sunshine on an almost windless day. Our charter in the Whitsundays three year earlier has been frustrated with too little wind. This holiday was in contrast blustery � as we stepped ashore on wobbly sea legs we pondered that this shouldn�t have been a great holiday. And yet it was. And immediately started planning the next charter.

I'm from Belgium, a land that used to be known for chocolate and beer, that is now known for terrorism. Sweet.
Do you really believe anyone would hire me?

SINCE WHEN DOES MICROSOFT MAKE MICE?
What are you using your machine for? What motherboard do you own?
Hello, and thanks for reading this already! A friend of mine is looking for some headphones for gaming and multiple genres of music (he listens to basically anything), prefferably under a budget (€100 at an absolute maximum, lower is preffered). Open acoustics and microphone are preffered, yet not too much compromises on audio quality. Thanks in advance!
Not bad! In my opinion, C'Thun is a bit too RNG for me. I don't like putting my game in the hands of a single line of code that's being repeated. But of course, as in your case, it can end very infuriating for the other person. Nicely done!
Hello, and thanks for reading this already! I'm currently looking into Adafruits products, which seems to all look amazing. Yet, a lot of people are very critical about their customer support, warranty... which is important for me, since I live overseas. So what are your experiences? Thanks in advance!
Proper way to convert to OGG/OGV?
Hello, and thanks for reading this already! I'm looking for a proper way to convert videos to ogg / ogv (with video). Using most convertors, either the framerate our the quality drops massively. Is there no way to correctly do this? (Tried FFMPEG, Miro, and Any Video Converter) Thanks in advance!
(That was me) I was giving examples. There's a multitude of good models and brands out there. Do your research.
Oh boy Corsair is good for PSU's. If you give them enough money that is. Their cheaper models WORK, yet, their boundaries are way lower then others. Too much stress and bam, you're boned. On the other hand, in certain/most situations, you should be fine. Read the above for reference on Corsair's CX(M) series! If you plan to upgrade to i5, I would suggest to plainly wait. Skyrim is more CPU intensive iirc, and believe me, with my second generation mobile i5 (second generation), it's not a dream to run. At all. If you have the choice, save up for an i5. Also, do you plan to overclock your i5?
For the headphones, if your genre is around the rock/classical range, the HD558's are worth a look. When it comes to microphones, the ModMic (though compatibility issues have been reported w/ the 558's iirc), the Samson Meteor is good for the more budget yet great quality range. For anything above the Meteor, Blue is a company that's worth a look.


There's never enough time. Sound familiar? This might be the most common lament voiced by school principals today. How can we find time to meet students' and teachers' needs, foster ingenuity and innovation, and apply best practices when so much is demanding our attention right this minute?
Balance district, instructional, school, and community events and responsibilities.
Communicate about the work of the school in timely, innovative ways.
Maximize instructional time by making smart use of transitions and recruiting teachers to build the school schedule.
Cultivate professional growth by running effective, efficient faculty and PLC meetings and promoting collegial learning through peer observations and collaborative partnerships.
"Short on Time: How Do I Make Time to Lead and Learn as a Principal? is a must-read for all administrators to ensure they are taking the rights steps to prioritize student learning and creating a thriving school environment. Easy and quick to read (I completed it in about 40 minutes), it was full of practical suggestions that any administrator could implement the next day in their school. I also appreciated that mixed in with the many practical tips were various anecdotes from the professional lives of other principals. If you are interested in going further on this topic, the encore section contains many resources and expands on ideas noted in the book. This section is definitely worth taking the time to peruse. This is book is a valuable addition to any administrator's tool kit."
"Dr. Sterrett gives practical, impactful strategies to take control of your calendar and communication to give you the time to be the instructional leader you aspire to be."
"The book discussed time management, tackling your calendar, staff meetings, and communication. Each hot topic was explained, evaluated and then provided a couple of excellent 'management' tips."
"Once you read this book, you will see that becoming organized, communicating effectively, and prioritizing your day is not as hard as you might imagine."
"Dr. Sterrett provides an excellent tool to assist those seeking to manage the overwhelming number of tasks asked of building leaders through the use of practical examples and real-life perspectives. In my work supporting school leaders, this is the type of book I look forward to incorporating into our professional development programs."
"[This book] is a practical guide that offers advice and stories about how principals balance district expectations, instructional goals, and community priorities. School leaders will learn about timely and innovative ways to communicate with stakeholders to cultivate and maximize the best teaching and learning environment for their school."

MrMette on NeoGaf. I only used it for EZA (after GT shut down, I was trying to find more info on it and found the NeoGaf thread), but still somewhat weird to see it shut down. Although it has been some days since I checked the EZA thread over there, so I didn't know about the shutdown until I saw a youtube video about it.
I have an account here since the forums opened, but I hardly ever used it. If NeoGaf is gone, I will probably check this forum more.
Thanks, I was quite tired when I posted this as I just was going to bed (I live in Belgium and it was past 2 am). I have posted it in the bugreport thread as well.

MDF fights illegal mining
by Jacob Nankhonya
in National News
Government has engaged the Malawi Defence Force (MDF) to drive out illegal miners in areas where illegal mining is rampant.

Unima students demand justice on Nyondo's death
MDF soldiers on October 16 raided one of the mines at Namizimu Forest Reserve in Traditional Authority (T/A) Makanjira in Mangochi where they arrested 133 miners for being found operating unauthorised mining activities.
MDF public information officer Paul Chiphwanya said the people, now in police custody, comprise 93 Malawians, 34 Mozambicans, four Tanzanians, one Congolese and one Turkish.
MDF officers inspect the mining area
Upon raiding the mine, the MDF destroyed a community that was created deep in the forest to support the mining activity and was believed to have at least 1 500 people either doing the mining or involved in economic activities that supported the workers.
It is believed that people have been mining at the site, which is located in the forest, about two kilometres from the Malawi-Mozambique border for over two years.
According to Chiphwanya, there are corundum deposits at the mine. Corundum is an extremely crystalised aluminum that is used as an abrasive, some varieties of which are ruby and sapphire.
He said the army officers will stay in the forest for as long as it takes to eliminate the illegal mining activities.
During a visit to the forest reserve on Tuesday, The Nation crew saw excavated stretches of up to 100 metres with over 30 manually-constructed mine shafts as deep as 20 metres.
Chief Secretary to the Office of the President and Cabinet Lloyd Muhara issued a statement on October 29 stating that the MDF intervention is a result of a series of meetings that government and its security agencies held to evict the illegal miners.
The statement further reveals that most of the arrested foreigners had no proper documentation such as work permits.
In the statement, government acknowledges the presence of precious mineral deposits, including gold, in the country.
In his remarks, senior group village head Saiti Mwazungu of T/A Makanjira hailed government for deploying the soldiers who have flushed out the illegal miners from his area.
He said government needs to identify investors to mine the precious stones based on proper agreements that can benefit the nation.
Mwazungu said the community wrote a petition to the District Commissioner asking for government's intervention on the matter.
