Many Browns fans still do and always will harbor ill will about the Modell family, but today the family is grieving over the loss of David Modell, son of former Browns owner Art Modell.
The 56-year-old adopted son of Art (David took the Modell name after Art married Patricia Breslin), died of lung cancer.
David was a former President of the Ravens, and is survived by his wife, Michel, three sons, Arthur Modell, David Modell Jr. and Bertram "Bertie" Modell; three daughters, Breslin Modell, Collier Modell and Aoife "Fee" Modell; and a brother, John Modell.
Modell was a fixture with the Browns, going from being a part of the grounds crew when he was 14 years old, to eventually by his father's side and helping the Browns move to Baltimore after the 1995 season.
Art passed away in 2012 before the start of the season, while his mother, Patricia Modell, died in 2011.

Opel will apply the Flextreme GT/E concept's styling to future cars.
Opel and Porsche will highlight their fuel-efficient technologies at the Geneva auto show.
Opel's five-door Flextreme GT/E concept shows how parent General Motors Co.'s extended-range electric vehicle technology can also be used for large or mid-size vehicles. Porsche also will debut the 911 GT3 R Hybrid, a race car with a hybrid powertrain.
Peugeot's "5 by Peugeot" and SR1 concepts highlight the French automaker's new design language, which features a less aggressive appearance than the "big cat" look of current Peugeots. French rival Renault will show a small roadster called the Wind and the new Megane CC.
Below is the fourth part of Automotive News Europe's A-Z guide to Geneva launches covering automakers from Mitsubishi to Renault.
Mitsubishi's ASX compact crossover is a European-spec version of the RVR, which went on sale in Japan in February. The ASX will launch in Europe starting in late spring. The United States will get a version starting in autumn 2010.
The model is part of Mitsubishi's strategic shift in Europe from being an SUV-focused nameplate to a manufacturer of environmentally friendly passenger cars and crossovers.
The ASX is the first model to get the company's clean-diesel engine, a new Euro 5-compliant 1.8-liter turbocharged direct-injection unit jointly developed by Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. The engine will offer stop-start technology to improve fuel economy and will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
The ASX is based on the company's mid-sized platform, which is already used on the Outlander SUV and Lancer sedan.
Nissan's key Geneva debuts are the Juke crossover and the so-called "Global Compact Car," which will replace the long-running Micra subcompact in global markets including Europe and Southeast Asia. Sales of the Global Compact Car start in Europe later this year following the model's debut in Thailand in April. No date has been given for a U.S. launch. Nissan plans to sell a version of the car in the U.S. for about $10,000.
Production of the Micra replacement for the European market will be moved from Sunderland, England, to Renault-Nissan's new factory in Chennai, India.
Instead of the Micra, the Sunderland factory will build European versions of the Juke crossover, which also debuts in Geneva.
The production Juke that debuts in Geneva will closely resemble the Qazana concept shown at the same venue in March 2009.
The Juke will go on sale in Japan in the summer, in Europe at the end of September and in North America toward the end of the year.
Opel will show a concept for an extended-range electric concept car in Geneva.
The General Motors Co. unit said the five-door Flextreme GT/E concept shows how GM's extended-range electric vehicle technology can also be used for large or mid-size vehicles. GM plans to launch two compact extended-range electric cars -- the Chevrolet Volt and its sister model, the Opel Ampera. The Volt launches in select U.S. markets later this year. The Ampera will go on sale in Europe next year.
Frank Weber, Opel's head of product planning, said the Geneva concept's bold, expressive styling is part of the product strategy Opel will apply to future large and small vehicles across all market segments.
Opel said the Flextreme GT/E has a battery-powered driving range of up to 60km (37 miles) and a total range of more than 500km (310 miles).
Opel will also debut its new Meriva small minivan, which will have rear-hinged rear passenger doors that Opel says are a first for a volume manufacturer. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Ghost sedan and Mazda RX8 sports car also have rear-hinged doors, but unlike those models the Meriva's rear doors open independently without the need for an overlap by the front doors.
Opel launched the first-generation Meriva in 2003 and has sold just over 1 million units in Europe.
Peugeot will debut a near-production-ready version of its upcoming 508 sedan. The so-called "5 by Peugeot" concept previews the French automaker's new flagship, which will replace the 407 mid-sized model line and 607 large car beginning in 2011.
The new Peugeot's dimensions, proportions and styling are the French automaker's response to changing trends in Europe's mid-sized segment, which is dominated by sleek, technically advanced models such as the Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo and Opel/Vauxhall Insignia -- the 2009 European Car of the Year.
The Peugeot concept features the French automaker's HYbrid4 technology, which in this case matches a front-mounted 165-hp 2.0-liter diesel with a rear-mounted electric motor that provides an additional 38 hp. Peugeot says the car uses 3.8 liters of fuel per 100km (62 U.S. mpg) and emits 99 grams per kilometer of CO2 -- or zero emissions when driving in full-electric mode.
Porsche says the new Cayenne SUV that will debut in Geneva with hybrid and diesel versions will offer improved fuel economy of up to 23 percent compared with the current model.
Cayenne prices will start at 59,596 euros ($80,468) including taxes in Germany for the base diesel model rising to 78,636 euros ($106,186) for the Cayenne S Hybrid and 115,526 euros ($156,000) for the Cayenne Turbo.
The Cayenne S Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient version with CO2 emissions of 193 grams per kilometer and fuel economy of 8.2 liters per 100km (28.7 U.S. mpg). The Cayenne hybrid has a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that makes 333-hp and works with a 47-hp electric motor.
The Cayenne will debut in Geneva along with its platform sibling, the Volkswagen Touareg, which will also have a hybrid version.
Porsche will also debut the 911 Turbo S, a new range topper for the 911 model line that boosts the peak output of the 911's twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter boxer engine by 30 hp to 523 hp. Porsche says the extra power makes the new car the fastest, most powerful version of the 911 Turbo ever.
In Geneva, Porsche also will debut the 911 GT3 R Hybrid, an all-wheel-drive racing version of its 911 with a hybrid powertrain.
Malaysian automaker Proton and Italdesign Giugiaro will show a range of plug-in hybrid minicar concepts that they co-developed. The concepts get their hybrid drivetrain from Proton subsidiary Lotus Engineering. The UK firm designed and integrated its electrical drive system, single-speed transmission and Lotus Range Extender engine into the minicar range. Lotus uses a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder combustion engine to recharge the concepts' battery packs and provide electric power for the drive motor when battery levels are low. The engine can run on gasoline, ethanol or methanol. The concepts' batteries also can be recharged by plugging into a household electric outlet. The minicar family includes three- and five-door models with different body layouts. Italdesign Giugiaro created a specific platform for the new car range, which features a raised floorpan that can accommodate the hybrid system's batteries in the center. The concepts could become the basis of a new vehicle that will be the smallest car offered by Proton.
Renault will unveil two open-top models that will be sold only in Europe.
The French carmaker is adding a small roadster, called the Wind, to its lineup. The two-seat car has a glass hardtop that pivots back into the area above the trunk in 12 seconds. The design is similar to the system used on the Ferrari 575 Superamerica.
Renault says the design gives the car more trunk room than those with retractable hardtop roofs that use a hinge system. The Wind is based on the same platform as the Twingo hatchback but is slightly longer than the subcompact.

Mission to Moon
The Pioneer 3 mission was one of the first attempts by the United States to send a spacecraft to the moon. Because of a malfunction with the spacecraft's booster rocket, it lacked the velocity to make it beyond Earth orbit and fell back to Earth, burning up over Africa.
Pioneer 3 was, however, equipped with a Geiger counter to study interplanetary radiation and managed to discover and map the outer Van Allen radiation belt around Earth before its demise.

Some firms have already had to make the hard decision and lay off staff.
Turnbull today conceded that the Liberals were late to the table on the energy crisis that is threatening the viability of many Australian businesses.
The Liberals true attitude to manufacturing is shown by the way they goaded the automotive manufacturers to leave the country.
The approaching shutdown of car making in Australia is a national tragedy, and the responsibility for it lies firmly with the Liberal Government.
The shutdown will create a $29 billion annual hole in GDP and put 200,000 jobs at risk across the economy.
The Prime Minister's performance today has again shown that the Liberal Government is manifestly incapable of responding to the manufacturing and energy crisis that is threatening the livelihoods of Australians.

Book Review of Robert Littell's Young Philby
Young Philby by Robert Littell
Kim Philby, one of the most famous spies of all time, was a member of the so-called Cambridge Spy Ring. Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and Philby all met while at Cambridge University and were recruited in the 1930s to become agents of the Soviets' NKVD security agency––which later became the KGB. As was common for Cambridge graduates, they gained important places in British government. Burges, Blunt and Philby joined the MI-5 and MI-6 intelligence agencies during World War II, and Maclean was in the Foreign Office.
Maclean and Burgess
Burgess and Maclean defected to the USSR suddenly in 1951, and Philby, who was then head of his agency's Soviet section and had been chief liaison with the CIA, was suspected of having tipped the pair off that they were about to be arrested. Though Philby was forced to resign, in large part because the CIA wouldn't collaborate with the British if Philby had stayed on, he wasn't arrested. He returned to his previous journalist career, where he stayed until 1963, when he disappeared from Beirut and reappeared as a defector in Moscow. There he stayed, until his death 25 years later.
Kim Philby
More than the other members of the Cambridge Spy Ring, Philby has always been a figure who captured the imagination; possibly because he was so highly placed in the British government and was the top person in British intelligence responsible for combating Soviet spies. Some still believe Philby may not have been a double agent, but a triple agent––in other words, ultimately still working for British intelligence, feeding disinformation to the Soviets, along with dispensable true information to make the disinformation easier to swallow. Characters based on Philby have appeared in many works of fiction, including John le Carré's classic, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
St. John Philby
Young Philby is a mix of fact and fiction, taking what is known of Philby's doings after Cambridge and filling in the gaps with what author Littell imagines of Philby's life and how he came to participate in the "great game" of espionage. Littell cleverly does this by having each chapter narrated by a different character in Philby's life, including his various NKVD handlers; his first wife Litzi Friedman, who met him in Vienna in 1934, where both worked with the communists fighting the troops of right-wing Chancellor Dollfuss; Guy Burgess; and Evelyn Sinclair, tart-tongued daughter of and secretary to the chief of British intelligence. Contributions are also made by Philby's "sainted father," Harry St. John ("St. John," or "Sinjin") Bridger Philby, one of those amazing characters from Britain's colonial period who was seduced by Arab life.
Each narrator presents his or her own perspective on Philby, in a way that is reminiscent of the fable about the blind men and the elephant. (Each blind man touches a different part of the elephant and then uses what he has perceived to describe what an elephant is. None of the men has discerned the entire truth and each one's conclusion is wildly different from the next.) What was Philby then? A romantic who fought for the proletariat and against fascism in the streets of Vienna in the 1930s? A man who, having had his youthful fling, settled down to the conservatism of his class and upbringing? A consummately skilled player in the multi-level chess game of espionage?
Soviet stamp commemorating Philby
Littell takes all his narrators' accounts of Philby and makes his own intriguing case for what Philby really was. Along the way, he leads us on a whirlwind tour of street fighting in Vienna, a journalist's beat during the Spanish Civil War, the gentlemen's-club atmosphere of British intelligence's Caxton House, and the depths of Moscow's Lubyanka Prison, where NKVD operatives were either interrogator or interrogated, depending on whether they had yet fallen victim to the deadly dialectic of Stalin's paranoid purges. Though I was riveted by the Philby story, every chapter made me want to know more about each narrator's life and times.
Though I'm an avid reader of Cold War espionage books––fiction and nonfiction––I haven't previously read any of Littell's books, which include The Company: A Novel of the CIA, The Sisters and The Once and Future Spy. After reading Young Philby, that now seems like a regrettable oversight––and one that I will remedy as soon as possible.
Young Philby was published on November 13, 2012 by Thomas Dunne Books, a division of St. Martin's Press.

The Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) through the Companies Office is responsible for the administration of Papua New Guinea's key business laws such as the Companies Act, Business Names Act, Business Groups Incorporation Act and the Associations Incorporation Act.
There are other laws and regulations which will also affect investors. These include laws of the National Government on areas such foreign exchange, taxation and customs, licenses and permits for various activities such as mining and petroleum exploration, agriculture, fisheries, forestry and industrial activities.
Provincial Governments and urban authorities also issue various licenses. It is the responsibility of investors to ensure they comply with the respective laws as well as the Investment Promotion Act 1992.
The division maintains a national registry of all companies, associations, business groups and business names in Papua New Guinea.
The Registry is open to the public to conduct searches on companies, associations, business groups and business names and to obtain copies of registered documents. The office also provides respective forms for registration of the respective business entities and other forms for compliance purposes.
In addition, there are other legislative requirements by other agencies and professional independent advice must be sought.
Failure to comply with the legislations administered by the Companies Office may result in administrative penalties or prosecutions that may follow jail sentences or fines or both against company officials and the company itself.
The latter can only be fined. Also the company can be deregistrated. The nature of penalty, whether administrative or others, and deregistration of a company depends on the severity of the offences.
Certification of Foreign Enterprises
The Business Registration and Certification Division is also responsible for facilitating investments in Papua New Guinea, in line with Section 28 of the Investment Promotion Act, 1992.
The provision requires all foreign enterprises intending to operate in Papua New Guinea to be certified by the Authority before they proceed to conduct business in the country.
All Foreign Enterprises wishing to conduct business in Papua New Guinea must apply for formal IPA certificate. A foreign enterprise is a business entity which is wholly owned or that is 50 percent or more owned or controlled and managed by non-citizens.
A foreign enterprise must firstly register under the Companies Act 1997, which is administered by the Business Registration and Regulation Division (BR & R) of the IPA. A foreign company has two (2) options when registering with the Business Registration & Regulation Division.
The first option is to incorporate a new company in PNG. The other option is for a company that is incorporated (registered) under the laws of another country (overseas) to register as an Overseas Company under the Companies Act 1997.
All foreign companies incorporated or registered under the Companies Act, 1997 must apply within 14 days for Certification under the Investment Promotion Act, 1992.
Depending on the shareholders of the foreign company, supporting documents will differ.

NM lowers speed limits on unmarked country roads
SANTA FE — Come New Year's Day, drivers in New Mexico will have to ease off the gas pedal or risk a ticket when traveling country roads with no posted speed limit.
A law taking effect Friday reduces the speed limit on unmarked roads across the rural state from 75 mph to 55 mph.
Backers of the legislation said the default speed limit of 75 mph posed a safety hazard on many roads that weren't engineered for speed.
Those roads can be narrow, unpaved and lined with mailboxes, said Rep. Dennis Roch, R-Logan.
"We've got people going past houses at 75 on these rural county roads," said Roch, who lives near the Texas state line in an area with fewer than four residents per square mile. "The sheriffs said there was nothing we can do about it."
In eastern New Mexico, Curry County alone has over 1,500 miles of roads with no posted speed limit. The statewide tally is unclear.
Counties have the authority to post an appropriate speed limit on roads they own and maintain but first must perform a traffic study that can cost several thousand dollars per mile, according to the New MexicoAssociation of Counties. That's money local officials would rather devote to road maintenance, Roch said.
"Normally it takes tragedy for something like this to gain some support," he said. "We just had a number of concerned citizens and county commissioners come forward."
Eleven legislators voted against the measure, including Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe.
Egolf, an attorney, said it is the duty of county governments to evaluate exactly where people need to slow down and let drivers assume responsibility elsewhere. He believes the costs for speed limit studies are not prohibitively high.
"We've got long roads, and especially folks working in the farming and ranching business have long distances to cover," Egolf said. "It just seems to me that folks should be left alone to do the things that are appropriate."
Other new laws going into effect Friday will affect the calculation of retirement benefits for volunteer firefighters and change road permit rules for some heavy trucks.

Community apathy led to death of Warroad (Minnesota) Pioneer
Does the reportedly mixed reaction to the death of a small weekly newspaper in the Lake of the Woods, Minnesota, show we have entered "the golden age of ignorance," as Minnesota Public Radio blogger Bob Collins declared?
Perhaps, if newspapers can't convince communities that they are an essential civic asset.
Collins' declaration came in a follow–up to MPR reporter John Engler's report on the May 7 demise of the Warroad Pioneer, one of three weeklies in Roseau County, on Minnesota's northern border. Engler paraphrased New York Times reporter Richard Fausset: "He said he spent a week in Warroad, talking to locals about the paper closing. He admitted that most folks, outside of the Pioneer staff and their husbands, didn't seem too broken up about it."
Fausset disputed that in an interview with me: "I talked to a lot of people who were very worried the newspaper was going to quit. What MPR reported does not accurately reflect what I found in the town. There are a number of people concerned about what happens next."
Engler did a little of his own reporting on the point. After paraphrasing Fausset, he wrote: "Out on the streets of Warroad, a handful of locals backed up his assessment," and cited one who "gets his news from Google, 'just like everybody else'."
That comment reflects "monumental ignorance," said Reed Anfinson, former president of the National Newspaper Association and publisher of the Swift County Monitor–News in Benson, in central Minnesota. "There is no local civic reporting from Google. Google captures our work and pirates it — if it is available."
Anfinson also said, "A reporter finding some disgruntled, or disinterested, people and using them to imply definitive assessment of the community's feelings about the newspaper, I find troubling."
Publisher Rebecca Colden told me, "There were people coming in throughout the day who said just the opposite." Interviewed before Fausset was, she said, "I think Richard's saying they're just complacent with the value of a newspaper. They like it, but they don't value it as they should."
That feeling, Colden said, helped her decide to close. She said she met with many people in the community, looking for ways to rejuvenate the paper, but "The challenge was that there is a complacency within these small communities, that they just feel like the paper will always be there, especially a paper of this age."
The Pioneer lasted more than 120 years.
And it wasn't as if she hadn't warned the whole town, in stark fashion. Colden said the Pioneer was the first of many Minnesota papers to run a blank front page in 2017, asking readers to imagine that there was no local paper. She told me that she did the sort of accountability news coverage that readers expect, and
"They're gonna miss all the information they didn't know they needed."
Colden said she could have borrowed more money and taken the risk of converting to free, total–market circulation, "but I need to know that there's really community buy–in to do that, and ... the community buy–in was really lacking." She said that showed in school news, a local–paper staple: "Teachers and coaches just throw some things up on social media rather than send it to the paper."
Engler reported that Fausset was assigned to "tell the story of the prototypical American small town losing its voice." If so, he seems to have made a good choice; the paper is like many rural weeklies that have closed in the last 15 years: in a small town outside a county seat, with a shrinking advertising base and independent ownership that couldn't or wouldn't negotiate a sale or merger.
We don't know the whole story. Colden said she couldn't work out a deal with the paper's former owners, Page1Publications, who have five nearby weeklies, including one in Roseau County. That was after she'd considered going to free distribution, and then tried to compete more directly with the county–seat paper, the Roseau Times–Region, 22 miles away. As often happens, local loyalties trumped other factors, she said: "Because of that community loyalty over there, we were never able to capture that advertising base."
She said her local ad base has shriveled because Marvin Windows and Doors, the main local employer, has "a new generation of workers" more willing than their predecessors to shop in other towns. "It doesn't bug them to drive two hours to go to Walmart," she said, so more than a dozen of Warroad's approximately 50 storefronts are empty. "We're really a community in transition."
But on the other side of Roseau County, in a similar small town, the Greenbush Tribune is thriving, owner and newspaper broker Julie Bergman of Page1Publications told me. Yes, having five papers in a cluster gives them economy of scale, but the Greenbush editor is a local man, Ryan Bergeron, who came back home to take the job. Bergman said he makes sure that the Tribune has content that is relevant to its readers.
"In order to survive, you have to have something in the paper that people want to pick up," Bergman said. "They're going to learn something."
Whatever the causes of the Pioneer's death, it "is more than a one–off loss of a newspaper," Anfinson told me. "I am hearing from newspaper publishers and executive directors of state newspaper associations that their concerns about the future of small–town weekly newspapers is growing."
Almost a year ago, Anfinson was featured in a Rural Blog item headlined, "Times get tougher for rural newspapers." Now it seems even tougher. As the old saying has it, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Newspapers must prove to their communities that they are relevant, and needed. As Bergman said, "There needs to be more education."

In this generation of whataboutism, what does it mean to cover your community fairly?
Pew asked people about "whataboutism"-- giving equal play to both sides, a journalistic tactic I learned decades ago in my first college journalism course. Actually, I probably learned it even earlier as a high school journalist. I grew up and came of age during peak "whataboutism" for journalism. If most of the town opposed a new traffic light, it was up to me to find that one person who opposed it. That was the definition of fairness that guided most of us at the time. I cringe now thinking of the lengths that I went to find the one person who dissented in pursuit of objectivity.

Shadow Hills (Hardcover)
By Anastasia Hopcus
EgmontUSA, 9781606840832, 400pp.
After her sister Athena's tragic death, it's obvious that grief-stricken Persephone "Phe" Archer no longer belongs in Los Angeles. Hoping to make sense of her sister's sudden demise and the cryptic dreams following it, Phe abandons her bubbly LA life to attend an uptight East Coast preparatory school in Shadow Hills, MA -- a school which her sister mysteriously mentioned in her last diary entry before she died.
Once there, Phe quickly realizes that something is deeply amiss in her new town. Not only does Shadow Hills' history boast an unexplained epidemic that decimated hundreds of its citizens in the 1700s, but its modern townies also seem eerily psychic, with the bizarre ability to bend metal. Even Zach -- the gorgeous stranger Phe meets and immediately begins to lust after -- seems as if he is hiding something serious. Phe is determined to get to the bottom of it. The longer she stays there, the more she suspects that her sister's untimely death and her own destiny are intricately linked to those who reside in Shadow Hills.
Anastasia Hopcus wrote her first book in the 2nd grade. It was titled Frederick the Friendly French Ferret and was seven pages long. During high school she wrote numerous short stories and started (but never finished) three screenplays, all as an alternative to doing actual schoolwork. At the very wise age of twelve her career ambition was to drive a Mack truck, but when that didn't pan out, she tried acting, bartending, and being a receptionist in a dojo before finally returning to writing. Anastasia loves horror movies, Joss Whedon, obsessing over music, and British accents. She lives in Austin, Texas, and Shadow Hills is her debut novel.

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) charges in the United Kingdom are more complicated than ever before.
With recent changes announced in the Budget 2018, it is important for our clients buying property in the UK to fully comprehend the charges that they will be subject to. We highly recommend getting advice regarding the rate structure and its effect on your property purchase.
SDLT Rates on any given house purchase vary significantly from 1% to 15% depending upon the circumstances, and deals are often abandoned because of overestimations of the total costs of acquisition. Miscalculations and over-payments of SDLT can occur in even the simplest circumstances. Making sure that you get it right in the first instance is much less of a headache than chasing refunds later down the line.
We work with a huge board of specialist tax advisors who we will refer you to. At Enness we believe our clients need the best advice as early as possible to support their investment decisions. We have teamed up with the leading SDLT Specialists in the UK to provide a full advice and support service which includes fully indemnified advice on all tax matters affecting the acquisition of UK Property.
The statement by HMRC in June 2018 that their online calculator is, in fact, "merely for guidance" emphasised the lack of support provided to solicitors, estate agents, brokers and purchasers in dealing with this complex tax.
Don't delay – if you have a purchase in mind, whatever the price, contact us now for a free consultation with our expert mortgage advisers to ensure that you start with the right information to support your next investment in UK property. We will also make sure to put you in contact with the right tax advisor for your needs, should you wish.
Below, we have broken down the facts so you can see how you will be affected by your property purchases and make sure that you won't get caught out.
The figures differ between sovereign nations of the United Kingdom.
If the additional property is valued at less than £40,000, there will be 0% tax.
For purchases from £40,000 – £125,000, the rate will be 3% on full purchase price.
Known in Wales as Land Transaction Tax (LTT), the charges and property values differ slightly.
An additional property purchased below £40k will attract 0% tax.
For purchases from £40,000 – £180,000, the rate will be 3% on full purchase price.
Known in Scotland as Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), the charges and property values differ slightly.
For purchases from £40,000 – £145,000, the rate will be 3% on full purchase price.
It is important to note that for first-time buyers there is no charge on properties valued up to £125,000 throughout the UK.
New regulation is that individuals' second home purchases valued at over £40,000 will be subject to 3% Stamp Duty for the full price of the property. This also counts if you own just a share in another property, if the share is more than £40,000.
A second home is considered to be an additional property to your primary residence. This rule still applies if your primary residence is overseas and your second property is in the UK, therefore foreign nationals need to be just as aware of this as UK residents.
If you sell your primary residence to move into your second property, you could be eligible for a refund of this fee upon completion of the sale of the former residence.
Enness does not offer investment or tax advice. If any part of our recommendation includes or refers to an investment or tax planning, such as a lender who requires you to transfer cash assets to their management as a condition of the finance, then we recommend you seek appropriate professional advice.


Onapsis, the global experts in business-critical application security, today released SAP HANA System Security Review Part 2. This publication analyzes SAP HANA Internal Communication Channels, details associated risk, and identifies how to properly audit an SAP HANA system. As the 13th edition in the SAP Security In-Depth series, SAP HANA System Security Review Part 2 describes how to update the SAP HANA platform, noting new improvements in each Support Package.
SAP HANA is regarded by SAP as the absolute in-memory database for its products and, more recently, as a standalone platform. The vast majority of companies who have already adopted SAP HANA are leveraging its capabilities to support business-critical applications. Due to its nature, SAP HANA stores an organization's most important assets, including customer data, product pricing, financial statements, employee information, supply chains, business intelligence, budgeting, planning and forecasting.
"Improperly configuring SAP HANA has a huge impact on security, as there are many aspects of this product that by default, in certain versions, do not have the most effective security measures in place. For example, Internal Communication Interfaces were not designed to be used by the end user and, therefore, do not include security measures such as encryption or authentication in versions prior to SPS10. If left unsecured, an attacker could access any communication ports to perform espionage, sabotage, and fraud attacks," said Nahuel D. Sánchez, Author and SAP Security Researcher, Onapsis.
Within SAP HANA are Internal Communication Channels that allow communication between different processes that comprise the SAP HANA platform as well as between hosts and systems. The specific purpose of each internal communication channel depends on the quantity of host deployments, as well as system replication scenarios.
Onapsis SAP Security In-Depth (SSID) publications detail innovative security aspects of business-critical applications as identified by the Onapsis Research Labs. Each release analyzes the unique risks introduced to these applications and the different mitigation strategies that allow organizations to protect their SAP implementations. Following SAP HANA System Security Review Part 1, which focuses on understanding the HANA layout, this new edition takes a deep-dive into technical concepts to fully explain how to properly configure critical aspects of SAP HANA.
SAP HANA System Security Review Part 2 is available for download at: https://www.onapsis.com/research/publications/volume-xii-sap-hana-system-security-review-part-2.

Is a penguin a dinosaur? Are the tiny arms of T. rex the key to its power and ferocity? What can long-dead dinosaurs teach us about our future? Plenty, according to paleontologist Diego Pol, who has discovered some of the largest dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth, including The Titanosaur. Pol weaves together stories of our planet's geological history, exploring the meaning of fossils and our own place on the vast and bountiful Tree of Life.

Monovalent rotavirus vaccine Rotarix reduce hospitalizations for all age groups
The rotavirus vaccine may be delivering two, measurable health benefits to society.
New research reports that the rotavirus vaccine can reduce disease burden and help reduce health inequalities across all age groups.
As an example, this new research found that adults, aged 65+ years, acute gastroenteritis hospitalizations fell by 25 percent.
This study strongly indicates that rotavirus vaccination reduced the incidence of acute gastroenteritis across a healthcare system, in both vaccine-eligible and ineligible populations.
These data strongly support the sustained use of the rotavirus vaccine in the UK and to other European countries.
This study focused the monovalent rotavirus vaccine, Rotarix, in the UK, beginning July 2013 to June 2016. The vaccination was a free service to parents, with two doses delivered at 8 and 12 weeks of age.
The outcome measures included laboratory-confirmed rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) hospitalizations, acute gastroenteritis (AGE) hospitalizations, emergency department (ED) attendances for gastrointestinal conditions and consultations for infectious gastroenteritis at community walk-in centers (WIC) and general practices (GP).
The uptake of the first and second doses of rotavirus vaccine was 91.4% (29,108/31,836) and 86.7% (27,594/31,836), respectively.
Among children aged < 5 years, the incidence of gastrointestinal disease decreased across all outcomes post-vaccine introduction:
80% (95% confidence interval [CI] 70–87%; p < 0.001) for RVGE hospitalisation,
44% (95% CI 35–53%; p < 0.001) for AGE hospitalisations,
23% (95% CI 11–33%; p < 0.001) for ED,
32% (95% CI 7–50%; p = 0.02) for WIC and
13% (95% CI -3–26%; p = 0.10) for GP.
Additionally, following the introduction of rotavirus vaccination, the greatest impact was among the most deprived populations, despite lower vaccine uptake.
This study supports previous rotavirus research in the USA.
Following the introduction of rotavirus vaccines in the USA, more than 380,000 children avoided hospitalization for diarrhea from 2008 to 2013, saving an estimated $1.2 billion in direct medical costs.
"Our findings confirm the sustained effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine program," said Eyal Leshem, MD, formerly of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
These rotavirus vaccines are currently licensed for use for infants in the United States:
RotaTeq® (RV5) is given in 3 doses at ages 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months
Rotarix® (RV1) is given in 2 doses at ages 2 months and 4 months
Both vaccines are given by mouth (orally), not by a shot.
The CDC Vaccine Price List provides the private sector vaccine prices for general information.

Страдија је био сатирични лист. Први број је изашао 25. децембра 1904, а последњи 29. маја 1905.

Излазио је у Београду на српском језику, штампан ћирилицом. Овде је Радоје Домановић објавио низ сатира у прози и стиху којима је исмејао малограђанско друштво. Укупно 50 Домановићевих текстова из листа Страдија штампано је касније и у његовим "Целокупним делима". У време изласка Страдије на власти су били радикали којима је и Домановић припадао, па је и њих критиковао.

Уредник и сарадници

Главни уредник часописа био је Радоје Домановић. Ово је био једини сатирични часопис који је он уређивао. Многи су се тада питали шта ће после Мајског преврата бити тема пошто нема више Обреновића. Међутим за сатиру је и даље било тема јер иако је промењена власт сматрао је да смо ми "исти као и пре што смо били". Позвао је читаоце на активну сарадњу да му јављају шта се све догађа у Србији, а он ће из тога изабрати оно најпогодније за сатирично писање.

Сарадник за писање епиграма био је песник Милорад Ј. Митровић. Остали познатији сарадници часописа били су Алекса Шантић, Драгутин Ј. Илић и Милорад Павловић Крпа.

Периодичност излажења, цена

Излазио је два пута седмично, четвртком и недељом. У првој години излажења (1904) изашла су два броја, а у другој години излажења (1905) изашло је 35 бројева, све укупно 37 бројева.

Цена по једном броју била је 5 пара, а годишња претплата 5 динара.

Штампарија

Током времена штампан је код више штампарија:
 Штампарија Свет. Николића (1904)
 Штампарија Ч. Стефановића (1905)
 Штампарија Андре Јовановића (1905)

Adapted from: Commander Mochitsura Hashimoto interrogation in box 13 of Submarine/Undersea Warfare Division, Series III, Archives Branch, Naval History and Heritage Command.
I. Organization and Tactical Employment of Jap Sub Force.
[Question] What were the main objectives of the Jap Sub Force? Were they used exclusively on scouting and supply missions or were they employed primarily to attack U.S. Task Forces? Were any patrols made with the object of sinking U.S. Subs?
[Answer] At one time half of the Jap fleet was used for supply purposes, the balance being used for offensive action. The policy of the Japanese Navy was to attack escorts (Task Forces) primarily, merchant vessels being considered very secondary. In one instance two submarines (Jap) were sent out specifically to sink subs, but the efforts were fruitless and the practice discontinued.
II. [Question] What working arrangements were there between Jap Subs and anti-submarine forces? What recognition methods were used to prevent Jap subs from being sunk by own forces? Were any arrangements specifically made for Jap subs to collaborate with their own A/S forces (e.g. planes) against U.S. subs?
[Answer] Working arrangements were not very thoroughly worked out between Jap Subs and anti-submarine forces, as proven by the case of a Jap sub sunk by a Jap plane. The only protection against their own forces was notification of time, course and area. In spite of usually faulty working arrangements, the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales [British battleship] was the result of a combined air/sub action. The sub spotted the target and called in the planes.
[Question] What areas were patrolled? Was the sub surfaced or submerged? What sort of doctrine did they follow on this? Did Jap subs make much use of radar? For surface search? Air warning? How about radar search receivers?
[Answer] Normally, Jap submarines submerged by day and surfaced at night, although wide latitude was given to the discretion of the Commanding Officers. In the early part of the war the area of patrol averaged 20 to 30 miles from a given point, but heavy losses resulted, so the areas were enlarged to an average area of 200 to 300 miles. Excessive risks were involved due to rigidity of patrol areas and consequently the Commanding Officers simply ignored strict adherence to instructions. No set pattern (like the German) was used and usually Jap subs followed a zig-zag course along a definite line.
55. [Question] Were any Japanese torpedoes equipped wit special figure run devices? Explain.

Living Well Moyle is an approach that was launched in 2016 to enable people in local communities, especially those who are older or require support to remain independent, to live the lives they want.
Dealing with ongoing health issues or loss can result in individuals becoming isolated and disconnected from the outside world. We know that people are happiest and healthiest as active, valued members of their communities, irrespective of their health conditions. Many active groups throughout Moyle are doing excellent work to support Living Well and are providing a range of activities. Volunteers are vital to the success of Living Well, an approach that was first developed in Cornwall.
What is the role of a Living Well Moyle volunteer?
To support people with long term health conditions to live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives and to reconnect socially with friends, family and the local community.
learn and share knowledge or experiences of related services and activities in the local area and how to access them.
Age NI will provide volunteers with ongoing training and guidance, one-to-one support, out-of-pocket expenses and experience into the Living Well approach.


Albion's defender is full of optimism going into the new season.
Liam Rosenior believes the current Brighton & Hove Albion squad can achieve great things together.
The 31-year-old defender has enjoyed his first year at the club following his arrival last summer, and is impressed by the belief in the Albion dressing room.
He told Seagulls Player HD, "It's been fantastic and gone very quickly. Time flies when you're enjoying yourself and the first year for me has been extremely enjoyable.
"We were so close to doing something that I wouldn't say I predicted, but said that was possible. What is great about being here is that all the lads, staff and everyone, believed in it and we came so close to achieving it.
"As a group, we help each other and we give each other strength. I think there's a lot of youth in the squad and if we can stay together as a team, we can grow and really achieve something special.
Rosenior's desire to play at the highest level remains as strong as ever, and he is confident that the squad has the attributes to mount another promotion challenge.
"You talk about pressure in the last 15 games of the season leading up to the play-offs, and we didn't lose a game. Everyone said we were going to fold, and that bodes so well for the future.
"I'm 31 now and I still want to play at the highest level. I want the highest pressure because if you get a lot of pressure, it means you're successful.
The full-back highlighted the influence of Chris Hughton during his first 12 months at the club, and explained how important his meticulous preparation is to the side's chances of success.
"He's fantastic and I can't speak highly enough of the manager. His approach is so calm.
"The reason why he can afford to be so calm is that he's so methodical, so organised in his processes and when you don't leave a page unturned and you're prepared for any eventuality, you can be calm and confident in your own ability.
"The manager does that for us and he gives us the information we need every week to go and play. Every session is prepared to the finest detail and it shows in our performances.

HANDS ON: A Paintbrush Stylus for iPad [VIDEO]
By Lauren Indvik 2011-01-15 16:49:59 UTC
This week, I had a chance to review the Nomad Brush, a beautiful, handcrafted stylus designed for painting and sketching on the iPad.
The stylus feels and looks like an actual paintbrush, complete with a 5.5-inch wooden handle and a mix of natural and synthetic fibers selected for their conductive properties. When I first came across this demo video of the stylus last week, I was skeptical that the iPad's touchscreen surface would be able to pick up the stylus's soft bristles, but I'm happy to report that the iPad easily responds to the touch. It allows for free-flowing brush strokes much like a real paintbrush, and an elegance of line I was previously unable to achieve using my fingers or a regular stylus.
Since we've only used the brush for a day, we can neither guarantee that it will work a year or even a month from now with heavy use, nor whether the bristles will hold their shape. (As a side note, we're still looking for a way to keep those bristles intact while traveling; I plan to use my standard canvas brush holder in the meantime.) Given how much we plan to use the thing, we should have a pretty good idea of how it holds up by the time the brush goes on sale in early February.
The Nomad Brush was conceived by Don Lee, a 39-year-old architect based in New York. After 14 years as an architect, Lee decided to take a year-long break from his profession "to rejuvenate [his] creative side," he explains.
As part of the rejuvenation process, Lee took up sketching on the iPad. "The finger is by far the most efficient way to navigate the iPad, but when it came to sketching, I just couldn't get used to it," Lee says. "As a problem solver by nature, I started to tinker and found a solution, and that's how the Nomad Brush came about."
At launch, only a black version with a 5.5-inch handle will be available for purchase, followed by a version with a white handle. In the future, Lee plans to create additional versions with varying brush head sizes and handle lengths. Pricing has not yet been disclosed, though given that each stylus is hand made, we expect it will be a bit pricier than the typical stylus.

The Life and Travels of The Ellingers: Dude's Night Out!
Dude's Night Out... This was just plain epic. Aaron, a friend from work, who's last name I'll leave blank decided it would be a fun time to invite Eric and I out for a dude's night out at some sketchy bars along North Lombard Street in Portland. Eric bailed and after several of his friends called off I was ready to bail too but he was determined and said he was going out regardless at 8pm to the MouseTrap and that I should meet him out... Challenge... Accepted!
When I got to the bar I found Aaron with about 5 friends.... including a heavily inked girl whose name for the night I was told would be "Steve" I believe... All of them were great people. A couple were co-workers and a couple were his old bandmates. They all welcomed me warmly to the drunkfest. Game on!


You know how sometimes you can see yourself in certain characters in a story? Well, as I was reading through Esther, I saw myself in one of the main characters. Unfortunately, it wasn't the brave and courageous Esther or Mordecai. This time I saw myself in the villain of the story-Haman!
Haman had a good thing going on. He was the king's right hand man. He had wealth and a great family. But as the verse above says, he couldn't enjoy any of those things because of one thing.
Mordecai would not bow down to Haman and honor him. Mordecai was a thorn in Haman's side. Haman was all about Haman. He was prideful and greedy. He wasn't content with what he had because he was so focused on the one thing he couldn't have—Mordecai's honor. So he schemed to destroy the Jews because of his bitterness toward Mordecai.
Sadly, I can relate to Haman. I have so many wonderful blessings that God has given to me. My family, home, job, wonderful friendships, a great church, health, and the list goes on and on. But so often I look at the few things I don't have and get discontented. I allow that one thing, or circumstance, or person to consume my mind and grip my heart. Then I totally miss the incredible blessings all around me.
It's like the whiteboard analogy. Imagine a whiteboard with one tiny black dot in the middle. What would you see if you looked at the whiteboard? Would you see a black dot or the big white clean board all around it?
See, Satan loves to get us to focus in on that one black dot so we miss everything else that's good in our lives. Like Haman, it all boils down to our pride and discontentment.
The best way to be set free from this "black dot" mentality is to refocus our attention. Rick Warren says, "Whatever gets your attention, gets you." I have found that to be so true in my life. So how can we refocus our attention?
First, focus on what you already have. What you've been given. Cultivate a thankful heart. Don't miss the treasures you have because you are so focused on the "so-called" treasures you don't have. A friend shared with me a while back that we think the grass is greener on the other side, but it might not even be grass, it might be astroturf.
One of the best ways I have found to get out of a selfish unhappy mental state is to take the focus off of myself and turn my focus back to God and others. Focus on developing a desire to please Him. Find ways to invest in relationships and encourage others.
Haman thought what he wanted Mordecai's honor, but Haman had it all wrong. Mordecai didn't need to bow his knees to honor Haman. Haman needed to bow his knees to honor God. Haman saw the black dot but missed the whole point. It wasn't about what Haman wanted, it was about what God wanted. And God wanted Haman's honor. The one who needed to do the bending, wasn't Mordecai. It was Haman.
The path to greatness isn't in how high we stand, it's in how low we bend. Greatness is found in humility.

Elegant and renovated building in one of the Riga center park
Rīga, Vingrotāju iela
Fully restored historic building, built in 1868 as the first gymnasium. Since the building was built, there was a gymnastics there, and the name of "Vingrotāju" Street came from there. In 2014, the building was bought by a private investor, who completely renovated and restored by investing 3.5 million euros. The new investor renovated the building as a private clinic with doctors' offices and fully equipped medicine premises. The layout and configuration of the building also allows the building to be used for other functions, such as for one company's office needs (attorneys, Internet technologies or other office needs). Car can be driven to building from "Valdemāra" Street.
The building is equipped with several modern and powerful ventilation and conditioning systems, as well as its own diesel generator, which can be used if necessary. The building has two staircases with two lifts (one is a cargo size lift).
The 1st floor of the building is designed as a reception with a large waiting room, a cafe and a gym.
The 2nd and 3rd floors of the building thanks to the high ceilings are located on two levels, on the 2nd floor there are 9 rooms and on the 3rd floor 5 rooms (plans can be changed).
At the 4th floor of the building there are 15 rooms.
On the 5th floor of the building there are 2 large conference rooms and 6 office rooms.
The basement is divided into separate units, which can be used as a "back office" or a warehouse.

Having seen the movie and only having read 30 pages so far the script is very similar to the film which I like. I like films that stay close to the written material. I suppose Francis Ford Coppola being the writer and director has a lot to do with it. The writing is very simple and easy to read. It moves at a nice pace like an adaptation should. It feels like a novel when I read it. But I remember the visuals from the film.

LHouse of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), ossia "Commissione scelta della Camera dei Deputati sui casi di assassinio", è un organo americano istituito dal 94º Congresso nel 1976 per investigare sulle circostanze della morte di John Fitzgerald Kennedy e di Martin Luther King.

La costituzione
L'HSCA nacque come conseguenza alle ricerche fatte da Commissioni, come quella di Gary Hart e Richard Schweiker (Hart-Schweiker) e della Commissione di Frank Church (Church Committee) che rivelarono abusi di potere compiuti dalla CIA e dall'FBI in merito ad attività investigative in operazioni di governo.

L'HSCA fu la risposta ad una sempre più pressante richiesta pubblica documentata da centinaia di libri, articoli, riviste e video documentari realizzati da privati cittadini o da investigatori specializzati fin dal 1963.

Fu anche il risultato di una protesta pubblica e dello scandalo che si creò all'emissione in TV nel marzo 1975 del filmato di Abraham Zapruder.

Attività
La Commissione investigò fino al 1978 e nel 1979 stilò il suo rapporto finale concludendo che il presidente Kennedy era stato ucciso da Lee Harvey Oswald probabilmente a seguito di una cospirazione, i cui membri però non erano stati individuati.Nella sua indagine, la United States House Select Committee on Assassinations ha affermato la presenza di "associazioni credibili che collegano Lee Harvey Oswald e Jack Ruby a figure che hanno una relazione, anche se tenue, con la famiglia o organizzazione criminale di [Carlos] Marcello". Il loro rapporto affermava: "La commissione ha rilevato che Marcello aveva il movente, i mezzi e l'opportunità di far assassinare il presidente John F. Kennedy, sebbene non sia in grado di stabilire prove dirette della complicità di Marcello". Annotò tuttavia che non fosse possibile includere nella cospirazione il Governo dell'Unione Sovietica, Cuba, l'FBI, la CIA, il Secret Service o qualsiasi altro gruppo criminale, senza però escludere individualmente gli appartenenti a queste organizzazioni.

L'HSCA soffrì degli stessi limiti della commissione Warren, con indagini condotte principalmente in segreto e stilò un rapporto con parecchi punti oscuri. Nel 1992 il Congresso istituì un nuovo organismo per passare al vaglio tutte le informazioni avute dalla HSCA sulla morte di JFK, l'Assassination Records Review Board.

L'HSCA criticò così il Dipartimento di giustizia, l'FBI, la CIA e la Commissione Warren di aver male esercitato il proprio lavoro e le indagini, utilizzando inappropriamente le informazioni disponibili  della Commissione Warren dal 1964, ed altresì i Servizi Segreti per non aver protetto adeguatamente il Presidente JFK.

In particolar modo criticò la scarsa considerazione data ad una possibile cospirazione; Blakey scoprì infatti un legame tra la CIA e un ricercatore della Commissione, George Joannides, coinvolto in un'organizzazione dov'era implicato anche lo stesso Lee Harvey Oswald il mese prima dell'assassinio, compreso un gruppo anti-castrista, il DRE, collegato alla CIA, dove lavorava Joannides nel 1963.

Conclusioni sull'assassinio di John F. Kennedy

L'HSCA concluse sul suo rapporto finale del 1979:
Lee Harvey oswald sparò tre colpi al presidente John F. Kennedy.Il secondo ed il terzo colpirono il Presidente, il terzo lo uccise.
Rilevamenti acustici fatti dalla scientifica stabilirono con alta probabilità che furono due uomini a sparare. Altre prove scientifiche non preclusero questa possibilità.
In base alle prove disponibili, il Presidente JFK fu probabilmente assassinato a seguito di una cospirazione; fu impossibile individuare i membri appartenenti a questa cospirazione.
La commissione credette, in base alle prove disponibili, che il Governo sovietico non fosse implicato nell'assassinio del presidente Kennedy.
La commissione credette, in base alle prove disponibili, che il Governo di Cuba non fosse implicato nell'assassinio del presidente Kennedy
La commissione credette, in base alle prove disponibili, che i gruppi anti-castristi non fossero implicati nell'assassinio del presidente Kennedy, ma ciò non precluse la possibilità che individualmente i singoli membri ne fossero coinvolti.
La commissione credette, in base alle prove disponibili, che i gruppi nazionali di organizzazioni criminali non fossero implicati nell'assassinio del presidente Kennedy.
I Servizi segreti, l'FBI, la Cia non erano implicati nell'assassinio del Presidente Kennedy.
Agenzie e dipartimento del Governo degli Stati Uniti d'America nell'adempimento delle loro funzioni, svolsero il loro incarico con variabile competenza; il presidente Kennedy non ricevette adeguata protezione. Furono condotte adeguate ed attendibili ricerche sulle responsabilità di Lee Harvey Oswald. Le conclusioni degli investigatori risultarono fatte in (buona fede), ma in modo affrettato.

L'HSCA inoltre concluse fosse possibile che:
 i colpi sparati fossero quattro.
 Il quarto colpo fosse potuto partire da un secondo assassino posto sulla collinetta erbosa, mancando il bersaglio; la commissione tuttavia giunse a queste ultime due conclusioni in base ad un rapporto della polizia di Dallas, la cui correttezza è stata in seguito ampiamente messa in dubbio.

Conclusioni sull'assassinio di Martin Luther King

Sull'omicidio di Martin Luther King, la Commissione concluse sul suo rapporto finale che fu assassinato da un colpo di fucile sparato da James Earl Ray, che ci fosse la possibilità che sia stato vittima di una cospirazione e che il Governo degli Stati Uniti non facesse parte di questa cospirazione.

Critiche ed altre ricerche
La sola prova acustica trovata dai ricercatori della HSCA che avvalorava la tesi dei quattro colpi e di un secondo uomo sulla collinetta erbosa, scaturiva da un nastro registrato della radio trasmittente di una moto della polizia della scorta al corteo in Dealey Plaza.Si udiva una leggera diafonia. Il poliziotto  credette che questi suoni fossero stati causati dall'alta velocità percorsa dalla moto affiancando il corteo mentre raggiungeva l'ospedale e dal suono della sirena a tutto volume.Nel 2001 queste prove acustiche della Commissione furono screditate in un articolo scritto da D.B.Thomas, scienziato del governo e ricercatore sull'assassinio di JFK. Egli concluse che la HSCA avesse trovato una seconda registrazione e che l'ago del Dittafono saltò e creò un effetto sonoro sul Canale Radio.

La maggioranza delle persone che aveva testimoniato all'indagine sugli spari disse che provenivano in direzione del Deposito. Tuttavia, altri testimoni indicarono la collinetta. Significativa la testimonianza di sole cinque persone (su un totale di oltre cento), che indicavano la provenienza degli spari da due direzioni.

i dont know if is only my problem, but sometimes i dont see the puddle of fire when a projectile impact on the ground.
i have also noted that puddle in sunken sunvault and moonglow grotto is working, i see it. But in verdant veins there isn't.
I've had it happen in each and every cave system. I think it has something to do with the thumper radius. I noticed it's more prevalent when I throw my thumper out and the radius of the bomb is not visible inside the thumper radius.
Not necessarily related to Thumper, but VFX culling as a whole. Depending on your VFX Quantity settings and how much VFX is on the screen, it culls away VFX entities it considers non-important. Fire Flower AoEs need to be higher on the priority list.


Take Mizuno for example; you might have been lucky enough to own its iconic MP-001 driver way back in 2004. The MP-001 featured a 400cc clubhead for maximum forgiveness, as well as a graphite composite crown which for the time was quite revolutionary, given the emphasis on titanium construction. It's definitely a collector's item, and is sure to be remembered with fondness.
Fast-forward to the present day, and Mizuno has released its most technologically advanced driver to date in the form of GT180. The fine-tuning system means it can be tailored to your swing down to every last detail, whilst the forged SP700 TI Face results in accelerated ball speeds, making it a driver which combines distance with accuracy to an incredibly high level.
So, whilst it is nice to think about your first ever driver, it's probably time to get up to speed with the latest models such as the GT180. Who knows? Maybe in another 10 years time, you'll be looking back on the GT180 with as much fondness as the MP-001!

(AFP) — A delirious man staggers through a hospital ward, banging into walls until he is overpowered by nurses in protective suits. Trainers are using survivors of the Ebola virus to give frighteningly realistic courses to medical staff fighting the disease in Liberia.
The World Health Organization has constructed a mock Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) in the capital Monrovia where doctors, nurses and medical students, some sent by the African Union, are being drilled in how to treat and deal with the dangers of the disease.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the medical charity that has been at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, has been insisting that training health workers is key. Trainers constantly drum into the students that a treatment unit is useless if it lacks competent staff — which is the case almost everywhere.
Training takes two weeks — three days of theory classes, then two days in a mock ETU before working for five days in a real unit under the beady eye of a mentor.
After the students get their certificate they are plunged into the horror of the real ETUs, where mortality rates can reach 60 to 70 percent.
Liberia is the worst hit of the three countries most affected by the disease, with an official death toll of 2,069, according to the latest WHO figures released on October 1.
West Africa's nurses and doctors had never been confronted with the virus before the latest outbreak and so did not know how to protect themselves. They have paid dearly with their lives, with more than 200 dying across the three countries, whose already shaky health systems collapsed under the strain of the epidemic.
In the "red zone" of the mock unit, where the sickest patients are treated, a woman sprawls groaning on a filthy mattress. The six survivors of the disease who are taking part in the programme bring a shocking realism to proceedings.
The carers, pouring with sweat inside their protective suits dripping with disinfectant, try to calm her.
She begs for water then "vomits" all the water she was given.
Ebola passes through body fluids — so vomit cannot be simply wiped up. Instead a health worker must slowly and methodically douse it with disinfectant.
And so the training section called "managing a sick patient when a unit is full" gives way to the part on dealing with a "confirmed case". Then the volunteers move on to how to cope with a patient who is so confused he is banging into walls, and who goes into convulsions after nurses put him down on a bed.
The WHO hopes to train 400 health workers in eight or 10 weeks under the programme. Experts estimate that Liberia needs several thousand to defeat the disease.

US Navy: 3 nuclear-powered attack submarines 'not certified to dive today'
That number is down from 15 submarines that awaited maintenance in 2017.
ByElizabeth McLaughlin
USS Boise moors at Marathi NATO Pier Complex in Souda Bay, Greece, during a scheduled visit Dec. 23, 2014.
Three nuclear-powered attack submarines are currently not operational, according to U.S. Navy officials, proving the service is still working to reduce its backlog of submarines that require maintenance.
The spotlight has been on the USS Boise, which has now been out of service for four years. Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. William Moran told senators during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday that the Boise would enter a private shipyard in January, but two other submarines "are not certified to dive today."
(MORE: US Navy destroyer sails through waters claimed by Russia in Sea of Japan)
The Navy has been working for years to get more submarines into dry dock for maintenance, which now includes the use of private sector shipyards in addition to public ones. As many as 15 subs awaited maintenance in Oct. 2017, keeping a significant chunk of the service's 71-submarine fleet potentially out of service.
"We want no more Boise's," Moran told senators, adding that the other two submarines will enter dry dock in February and late spring.
"The numbers are coming down significantly. The standing in line has come down significantly," he added. "We still have a ways to go. We're not out of the woods yet, but I think as capacity opens up in the private yards, and we do a better job in the public yards, getting our carriers out on time, we'll be there."
(MORE: 15 months after deadly collision that killed 10 sailors, US Navy destroyer McCain floats again)
During the hearing, Sen. Mike Rounds, R-South Dakota, told the military officials that Americans need to understand the seriousness of this problem, especially if the government were to come under mandatory budget cuts, called sequestration, which last occurred in 2013.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer urged patience, saying that the money Congress allocated to optimize the Navy's shipyards is at least a two-year project and "to kill it now with any sort of sequestration would be a crime."
ABC News' Luis Martinez contributed to this report from the Pentagon.

Finally, The Miley Cyrus Sex Tape We've All Been Waiting For? (Video)
by Lauren Martin
Could it be? Could we finally be getting that Miley Cyrus sex tape we've all been waiting for!??
Unfortunately, the answer is no (at least not yet). Saturday night, Miley Cyrus was the host of "SNL," starring in a hilarious sketch about a possible sex tape. Although, the male counterpart, unfortunately, wouldn't have sex with Miley because she's like 100 years old...??
Ah, I guess the wait for Miley's sex tape continues!
