Something different for a change! In my last post I suggested that perhaps a visit to the beach might be on the cards this weekend. For those with rain forecasted and those who are unable to get to the beach I thought I'd bring it to you. However, for those who can get out there perhaps a little inspiration for your trip?
Sand sculptures in the Netherlands, video 0:43 with background music, try 480p quality.
Do you recognise the location Yolanda, this one was for you! This piece of film was not taken recently nor was it taken in Scotland. I took it on holiday in 2002. The location was The Dolphinarium at Harderwijk - in the Netherlands!
The video shown above was taken in The Dolphinarium at Harderwijk, in the Netherlands, in July 2002.
Fantastic video, shirl! Amazing sand sculptures...I've never seen anything quite like them.
Scrolled back to yesterday's post to see the fabulous shots of the peacock. I love the irridescence of their feathers. in fact, I have some of their feathers, though my mum was superstitious and thought it unlucky to have them...but I adore the 'eyes' at the tips. I must get down to more watercolour painting and try to use some of my inks with my watercolours to capture that piercing blue/green magic in their feathers.
Thanks - they really were quite a piece of artwork! The flag poles give you an idea of scale too.
Painting peacock feathers - now that will also be a challenging piece of artwork. I look forward to seeeing it in a post.

Northwest Passage, historical sea passage of the North American continent. It represents centuries of effort to find a route westward from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Archipelago of what became Canada.
The Northwest Passage.
All About Oceans and Seas Quiz

The quest for the passage was one of the world's severest maritime challenges. The route is located 500 miles (800 km) north of the Arctic Circle and less than 1,200 miles (1,930 km) from the North Pole. It consists of a series of deep channels through Canada's Arctic Archipelago, extending about 900 miles (1,450 km) from east to west, from north of Baffin Island to the Beaufort Sea, above the U.S. state of Alaska. Reaching the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic requires a hazardous voyage through a stream of tens of thousands of giant icebergs, which could rise up to 300 feet (90 metres) in height, constantly drifting south between Greenland and Baffin Island. The exit to the Pacific is equally formidable, because the polar ice cap presses down on Alaska's shallow north coast much of the year and funnels masses of ice into the Bering Strait, between Alaska and Siberia.

Since the end of the 15th century, Western explorers have attempted to establish a commercial sea route north and west around the American land barrier encountered by Christopher Columbus. Such an accomplishment would realize an objective that has eluded humankind since King Henry VII of England sent John Cabot in search of a northwest route to East Asia in 1497. Five years earlier, Columbus had set out in search of a westward route after conquest of the Middle East by the Ottoman Turks in the mid-15th century disrupted Europe's overland routes to the East. The Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama sailed south around Africa and reached India in 1498; another Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, sailed southwest around South America to the East Indies (present-day Indonesia) in 1521; and Dutch explorers vainly sought a comparable passage to the northeast around Russia.

It was the Northwest Passage, however, that captured the imagination of many of the world's famed explorers, including Jacques Cartier, Sir Francis Drake, Sir Martin Frobisher, and Capt. James Cook. All met with failure, and many met with disaster. Sir Humphrey Gilbert, whose treatise on the passage inspired many voyages by others, drowned during his own attempt in 1583. Henry Hudson, his young son, and seven others were cast adrift by a mutinous crew in 1611 when his discovery of Hudson Bay proved to be an icy trap instead of the passage he sought. Knowledge of an Arctic passage came slowly, over hundreds of years, from information gathered during voyages by such explorers as John Davis, William Baffin, Sir John Ross, Sir William Parry, Frederick William Beechey, and Sir George Back, augmented by overland expeditions by Henry Kelsey, Samuel Hearne, and Sir Alexander Mackenzie. The worst tragedy came when Sir John Franklin and 128 men aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror vanished in 1845.

One searcher for the lost Franklin expedition, Robert (later Sir Robert) McClure, entered the passage from the west, became locked in the ice for two winters, and then sledged overland to another rescue ship coming from the east, thus completing the first one-way transit of the Northwest Passage in 1854. Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld led a Swedish-Russian voyage through the Northeast Passage (called the Northern Sea Route in Russia) over the top of Eurasia in 1878–79, and Soviet and later Russian polar icebreakers opened that route to limited use in modern times.

However, the Northwest Passage was not finally conquered by sea until 1905, when the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen successfully navigated the treacherous middle section of the passage and emerged in the Beaufort Sea. Amundsen and his crew had set sail in 1903 in the converted 47-ton herring boat Gjöa. They completed the arduous three-year voyage in 1906, when they arrived in Nome, Alaska, after having wintered on the Yukon coast. The first single-season transit was achieved in 1944, when Sgt. Henry A. Larsen, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, made it through on a schooner.

Legal Selection – Why, When and Who?
Jun 23, 2016 | Featured Articles | 0 |
Originally posted Friday, 10 September 2010
Written by Chloe O'Neill
Selecting the right legal counsel at the right time can be a tricky part of the construction business. In our down economy with projects bidding at low costs and more companies going bankrupt, it's important now more than ever for Owners to understand legal selection. While the deciding factors such as who, when and why may seem obvious, it's more complicated than many Owners realize. Waiting too long to consult a lawyer on a project can lead to costly litigation, but is a salaried in-house lawyer just as, if not more, expensive? Using internal counsel rather than hiring outside your company utilizes your already paid-for resources, but is an outside counsel better for the job? What's the best way to prevent and/or resolve disputes without breaking the bank?
Why Owners Seek Counsel
Construction lawyers handle a wide variety of cases for Owners, ranging from contract drafting to litigation. Sara Beiro Farabow, Partner at Seyfarth Shaw, LLP in Washington, D.C., says most of her cases involve defending contract claims, such as changes, differing site conditions, inefficiency and delay claims.
Rushing through the contract drafting and execution process gets many Owners into a legal bind, according to Farabow. "Sometimes I receive a call from in-house counsel stating that someone realized a contract had not gone through any legal review, the scheduled construction start is this week and 'We needed the contract executed yesterday.'"
Each project is unique and carefully planned, so why wouldn't each contract be equally unique and carefully reviewed? To a project manager this might seem daunting and too time-consuming for the tight schedule at hand, but as many experienced Owners may know, a poorly drafted contract can be more time-consuming for the business in the end. Thankfully, the attorney should take the weight off the Owner's shoulders. According to Farabow, a good construction lawyer does not just hand over a "laundry list" of problems and risks. "A seasoned attorney should carefully analyze the issues and then propose legal solutions, such as alternative contract language or new contract terms that manage or allocate the identified risk," says Farabow.
Farabow handles construction cases in the U.S., Europe, Asia and South America. While the different cultures handle contracts and claims slightly differently, some construction law issues are standard across the globe. "I've developed an appreciation for different approaches to structuring and negotiating construction contracts," says Farabow, "But really it's more striking to me just how similar the heartburn issues are in construction contracts, whether you're breaking ground on U.S. or foreign soil."
John Sier, a construction attorney with Kitch, Drutchas, Wagner, Valitutti & Sherbrook, P.C. in Detroit, Michigan, would like to think his most common case involves dispute prevention during contract drafting. "Unfortunately, we do confront the issues that arise from a breakdown in the communication between the parties," says Sier. "The parties don't agree on the scope or extent of a cost or schedule impact, and the outside counsel is brought in as an advocate rather than as a facilitator."
Despite the thrill of litigation, it seems construction lawyers prefer to extinguish disputes before they burst into flames to save Owners costly and business-disrupting lawsuits.
When to Seek Counsel
Having a lawyer on-staff or on-call is great, but if you don't know when to ask for their help, it may not save you much hassle in the end. While Owners may hesitate to pay an attorney to deal with a claim or "red flag" that could turn out to be nothing, not contacting your attorney at the beginning could cost you much more in litigation in the end.
Both Sier and Farabow agree that hiring a good attorney as early as contract drafting is the ticket to saving the most money on legal disputes. "For example, we many be able to minimize the likelihood of delay claims by analyzing whether it makes sense to negotiate a liquidated damages provision, an incentive bonus provision for early completion, or other provisions," says Farabow.
Owners may think that a contract outlining every disputable issue is 100 percent thorough, but Sier suggests taking it a step further: "If the contract is clear in the methods for handling issues as they arise in the project, then claims will be addressed earlier at the lowest possible level before it erupts into a dispute."
Of course, there will no doubt be situations where Owners have a contract slip-up due to time constraints or oversight. In case of a rising dispute, Sier suggests that an Owner contact outside counsel before a claim is asserted if at all possible, at the first sign of a "red flag" such as an increasingly frustrated or angry tone in a letter from or phone call with the potential plaintiff. He suggests that Owners avoid compiling a "claims file" during a project that will be dealt with later as this can aggravate into major claims by the end of the project. Instead, he suggests that Owners handle each dispute as it arises. "There may be timing requirements that need to be monitored or followed in order to protect the contractual or statutory rights of both sides," he says. Once those issues get out of hand, there's no turning back to the time when it could be dealt with cheaply and quickly.
Generally, the consensus is that the longer you wait, the more expensive it becomes. The more a dispute lingers between parties, the less likely they are to settle on a reasonable agreement. "Once legal fees escalate and the parties become more personally and financially entrenched in their positions, mediation can become more difficult," says Farabow. "Consider the use of mediation, minitrials and other ADR procedures to resolve disputes more efficiently."
Should the worst happen and litigation become necessary, there are still ways to manage the risks of unexpectedly high legal and consultant costs. Farabow suggests that Owners ask their legal counsel to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the case at the earliest possible stage and to craft a focused discovery plan. Then, be sure to request a fee estimate broken down by phases: discovery, pre-trial , trial and post-trial. "This should include not just attorneys' fees but experts' and non-testifying consultants' fees, such as scheduling and damages experts," says Farabow. By asking the right questions and demanding detailed information on the legal process, Owners can keep litigation costs manageable.
Who to Consult
Since many larger Owners such as universities or hospitals have an in-house legal department, it can be difficult to determine when to bring in an attorney not already on the payroll. In-house counsel may seem cheaper, but if a construction-specializing attorney can resolve a dispute quicker, outside counsel may be the way to go.
"In-house counsel's expertise can be very generalized from working on such a wide range of cases rather than focusing on construction law," says Sier. But, Sier also notes that in-house counsel can be perfectly effective if the problem stays in the lowest level of dispute resolution. His advice to Owners: "Bring in outside counsel at the earliest point you feel there will be a disagreement that's not likely to be resolved at the lowest level."
Sier also distinguishes that all projects were not created equal. If you're working with a very large contractor, they may have a claims group of lawyers to uphold contracts down to the word. Owners should be aware of the legal scope of their vendors, and match their own legal protection as closely as possible in such cases by hiring construction law specialists.
Once you've decided outside counsel is necessary, how do you select the right attorney? Farabow suggests doing your homework by asking for referrals from peers and researching attorneys online to find those who have published construction-related legal articles. Be skeptical of some online sources, however. "The Internet is full of law-related materials that are actually very general and superficial marketing materials disguised as law articles," says Farabow. She also suggests finding a lawyer who not only specializes in construction law but also has education in construction, engineering or architecture, and affiliations with industry associations such as COAA, DBIA, AIA, NASFA, AGC, ABC, EJCDC, CIRT, NASBP and SFAA.

U-583 — німецький підводний човен типу VIIC, часів  Другої світової війни.

Замовлення на будівництво човна було віддане 8 січня 1940 року. Човен був закладений на верфі суднобудівної компанії «Blohm + Voss» у Гамбурзі 1 жовтня 1940 року під заводським номером 559, спущений на воду 26 червня 1941 року, 14 серпня 1941 року увійшов до складу 5-ї флотилії. Єдиним командиром човна був капітан-лейтенант Генріх Рач.

Човен не зробив жодного бойового походу.

Затонув 15 листопада 1941 року в Балтійському морі північніше Столпмюнде () після зіткнення з іншим німецьким підводним човном U-153. Всі 45 членів екіпажу загинули .

Happy Halloween Season! Thanks for stopping by.


President David Granger examines security gear donated by China to the Guyana Police Force. Also in picture are Assistant Commissioner, Clifton Hicken; Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and Commissioner of Police, David Ramnarine.
The Guyana Police Force is moving apace with plans to expand the number of police divisions from seven to 10 and open a security sector reform office under the auspices of Britain, President David Granger announced Monday.
Addressing a handing-over ceremony for the donation of US$2.6 million worth of gears, vehicles including pickups, All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and buses by China, he said each of Guyana's 10 administrative regions would be police divisions and the police commanders would be reporting to the Regional Chairmen.
"The police force, as part of that reform project will adapt the same divisional structure as the ten administrative regions of our country so that every divisional commander will be able to relate to a regional chairman in the RDC (Regional Democratic Council)," he said.
The President added that every capital town would be the headquarters for a police division. "We won't have one person commanding three interior divisions as exist at present. One region one division, one commander. That's how it's going to be," he said. Currently, 'F' Division, whose Commander is based in Bartica, is responsible for the interior regions of Barima-Waini (Region One), Cuyuni-Mazaruni (Region Seven), Potaro-Siparuni (Region Eight) and Upper Essequibo-Upper Takatu (Region Nine).
With regards to the Security Sector Reform Programme (SSRP), Granger said the project would next year be upgraded to an office. "Next year, that project would transformed into a formal department in order to implement the recommendations which are now being crafted and drafted," he said.
Pledging government's commitment to provide equipment and other resources to boost security and fight local and transnational crime, the President said China's donation would help the Guyana Police Force expand its presence across the country. "It is in that context, therefore, that the equipment presented today by the People's Republic oif China to the Guyana Police Force recognises the need to enhance the spatial deployment of the Guyana Police Force to every region, to every nook and cranny, to every river, throughout the grasslands, throughout the wetlands," he said.
The pickups donated by China to the Guyana Police Force.
At the same time, the President urged the Guyana Police Force to respond to specific threats such as intrusion by illegal aliens, contraband smuggling, illegal mining, gun-running, fuel smuggling, and drugs trafficking which he said was at the heart of violence. "Once there is narco-trafficking there is going to be violence in the country. Once there is smuggling, trafficking in persons, there is going to be violence so let us stop that violence at the border. Let us stop that violence from coming into our neighbourhoods, in our homes," he said.
The Guyanese leader looked forward to China's donation of vehicles being used to respond quickly across Guyana to crime scenes, improve traffic management, improve communications.
Police Commissioner, David Ramnarine assured that the vehicles would be inspected periodically to ensure that they are properly maintained.
Ramnarine said he was "integrally involved in crafting" a five-point security plan under the stewardship of substantive Police Commissioner, Seelall Persaud. Ramnarine said since July 2015 when the President directed that that plan be crafted, there has been an "exponential increase in overseas training of all ranks in the force". He said so far about 400 persons have been trained.
Ramnarine said a proposal was submitted for regionalising police boundaries as well as capacity building for the Criminal Investigations Department, Special Branch and increased training of persons.
The items handed over Monday are 44 motorycles, 35 ATVs, five buses, 550 items of protective gear, 40 desktop and 30 laptop computers, 10 scanners, 10 printers, 10 photocopy machines, 30 decibel meters and five generating sets.

Q: java.lang.ClassCastException: while running web application in HEROKU Iam trying to run a web application in heroku.
Its a simple web application with JSP-Servlet architecture.
http://electric-rain-8409.herokuapp.com/client/home?page=Page&name=maginfoINSERT&type=form
when I hit this URL it gives this error
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap cannot be cast to java.util.HashMap
*at org.apache.jsp.client.Page_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.client.Page_jsp:185)

at com.akas.magclub.servlet.UrlForward.doGet(UrlForward.java:34)*

The servlet it tries to hit is UrlForward which just forwrds the request to a jsp page identified by parameter Page.
The amazing thing is that the following url works
http://electric-rain-8409.herokuapp.com/client/home?page=frontpage&tag=
Can't really understand why this is happening.The whole web application works fine in local machine environment.

A: I got the error. The JSP page where the servlet forwards this request to tries to get the parameter map and it tries to do it like this
HashMap <String,String[]> parammap=(HashMap<String,String[]>)request.getParameterMap();

but request.getParameterMap() returns an unmodifiableCollection which cannot be cast to HashMap simply because it is read only and HashMap provides R/W access.
So changing it to
Map<String,String[]> parammap=request.getParameterMap();

solved the problem.
But one thing still remains. The above code with HashMap works well in locally when running in tomcat but fails when running in heroku.

The core of the business is delivering on exemplary customer service and value-priced bedding that customers want and need to make their homes as beautiful as they can be. The company also provides a welcome alternative to the diluted focus of department stores.
Beddington's Bed and Bath sells everything for the bed and bathroom, from window panels, duvets, pillows, towels, sheets, robes and much more.
Knowledgeable staff are on hand to answer any question about a product—they are trained to know the products inside and out and help customers make the right decision based on their needs. The same customer philosophy is applied to the online store where there is a "live chat" option on every page with a service representative waiting to help customers with their questions.
"What we have accomplished is a result of hard work and the exemplary team that we are fortunate to work with and who bring a lot of value to our business and to our customer," says Wall.
Beddington's Bed and Bath anchors its inventory with 80 per cent core products such as solid colours, basic bedding, and 20 per cent fashion-forward inventory which correlate to seasonal trends.
The focus on getting products at great prices means keeping overhead low, bringing the customer high quality products at or below the marketplace.
"Our team takes opportunities to work on the selling floor, talk and listen to customers. We don't ask customers what is good, rather, we ask them to tell us what they don't like because then we can work on the problems or find the products we don't have; it is an evolution to meet more customer demand.
"If you don't have the size and stock the customer wants you aren't serving anybody," says Wall, who strongly supports the company's major investment in automation which allows for real-time stock inventory.
"We can track productivity of every item in every store at all times." The system allows the user to select any item and see how it is performing and make informed decisions on buying, clearing, or promotional activity, and expanding on the product that customers are excited about.
Beddington's Bed and Bath excels because it takes time to listen to its customers, to deliver on customer demand in real time and by providing only the best in home linen. With expansion continuing, Beddington's Bed and Bath exemplify the best in customer care.

Bluebells – and other fairy flowers
As the days become warmer many more plants join the first footers and bluebells especially, make a photogenic carpet beneath the unfurling leaves on deciduous trees and shrubs. The vibrant blue, flowers of bluebells or Hyacinthoides non-scripta, are sure sign that spring has arrived!
You will find bluebells covering woodland floors throughout the UK between April and late May. These perennial bulbs can be 50cm tall with smooth, strap-like leaves that are about 45cm long with a pointed tip.
Native bluebells have up to 20 sweetly scented bell-shaped flowers are borne on each flower stalk, which droops or nods to one side. Flowers can be white and sometimes pink as well as blue and each flower has six petals with up-tuned tips and anthers coated with cream-coloured pollen
Unfortunately our native bluebell is under threat because they readily cross breed with non-native bluebells, which is diluting their gene pool. This has probably been going on since Spanish bluebells were fist introduced as a garden-worthy plant in the 1600s but it was only when in 1963 that escapees were first noticed growing in amongst our native plants.
You can easily identify the flowers of the Spanish type (Hyacinthoides hispanica) as grow upright, are usually pale blue, pink or white and have distinctive blue anthers and have very little or no scent
If you've planted the Spanish type in your garden, pay attention to deadheading before they set seed and that should prevent them from spreading into nearby wild colonies of native bluebells. Any crossbreeds that occur are usually super-vigorous and fertile hybrids.
Take care too, when disposing of Spanish bluebells. Aim to dig them up intact and leave them in the sun to dry for a month so the bulb is dead before putting them in the compost bin. It's claimed that hundreds of Spanish bluebell bulbs find their way into landfill sites every year and if there's any life left in them, they thrive to fight another day!
Like snowdrops, native bluebells are bought 'in the green' – in spring when the plants are growing, in flower and after flowering and are available from specialist nurseries who propagate them from cultivated stock. Plant them at a depth of 15cm and space them approximately 15cm apart.
Dry bulbs are also available in autumn and should be planted as soon as possible at twice the depth of the bulb.
Bluebells will thrive in a cool and spot beneath deciduous trees and shrubs. Bluebells prefers well drained but moisture-retentive, humus-rich soil.After flowering, leave the foliage intact so that they can nourish the bulbs ready for producing next year's display
The Big Bluebell Watch, organized by woodlandtrust.org.uk wants your help to map UKs bluebells. The Woodland Trust considers that where Bluebells are found in hedgerows it may indicate an ancient hedge as their presence is indicative of ancient woodland that covered Britain after the last Ice Age.
Fancy a spring walk? Then visit nationaltrust.org.uk, to find the location of some of the best bluebell woodlands across England and Northern Ireland.
Bluebells contains glycosides and is poisonous if eaten by humans and animals and the sap can cause contact dermatitis
The bluebell's bulb also contains a sticky substance, which was used as glue for fixing feathers to arrows and also for bookbinding as it repels attack by insects. The Elizabethans also used the starch-like juice from the bluebell bulb to stiffen their fancy ruff collars.
The bluebell is the flower of St George, as it usually starts to bloom around St George's Day on 23rd April.
Bluebells may be used in love spells. Turn a Common English bluebell flower inside out to ensure you will win the heart of the one you desire.
Bluebells have been used to prevent nightmares either stuffed in a dream pillow or strung and hung near the bed.
In folklore, bluebells were said to ring when fairies were summoning their kin to a gathering; but if a human heard the sound, it would be their death knell.
Fairies were also said to use bluebells to lure and trap children playing and walking through the woods. And if a child picks a bluebell it will never be seen again!
Trampling on bluebells is through to anger any fairies resting there.
If you wear a wreath of bluebells you will also be compelled to speak only the truth!
Scottish bluebells
Legend has it that fairies live among the Scottish bluebells (Campanula rotundifolia) and humans should be wary of disturbing them
Widely known as Harebells they have their roots in magic and it's said that witches are known to turn themselves into hares and hide among them! According to folklore, if you traipse through a drift of harebells, you'll also conjure up a swarm of angry fairies that will release their spells and trap them in the bells.
The plant flourishes in the wild both on damp peat areas and on dry chalky soils and you should recognise their daint blue flower heads that grow on slender stems, growing profusely on heather moors and on roadsides particularly in Scotland from July to September.
When on a country walk look out for
As the days warm many more plants join the early pioneers and make an incredible display of life and colour in our spring woods. Often arriving with the bluebell in late April and May, are the purple-pink flowers of early purple orchid, which are a handsome sight.
One of the earliest orchids to bloom is the purple orchid, which flowers between April and June
Other woodland plants that put early spring displays are wood anemone, common dog violet, red campion, wood-sorrel, ramsons, garlic mustard, lords-and-ladies, yellow archangel, and early purple orchid.
Late spring flowering plants include bugle, wild strawberry, herb Robert, pignut – which produces small umbels (umbrella-like clusters) of white flowers between April and June that are attractive to a range of insects such as soldier beetles and hoverflies, plus the lesser stitchwort, common nettle and foxglove.
Foxgloves are another fairy flower
According to folklore the flowers, which look like glove fingers were used by the fairies that live in the woods
Foxgloves or Digitalis purpurea are found across the UK, producing spikes of pink-purple flowers. They are biennial, so in the first year produce a rosette of leaves then the following year, from June to September flowers appear that are pink-purple in colour, occasionally white, and showing darker coloured spots on the lower lip of the flower.
Plants can grow up to 2m tall and you may find wild foxgloves growing on roadside verges, woodland edges, heaths, gardens and along hedgerows. Plants grow well in areas where soil is acidic and can be found across the UK.
Foxgloves are adapted to be pollinated by bees, especially long-tongued bees such as the common carder bee. The plant's brightly coloured flowers and dark spotted lip attracts the bees, and the lower lip of the flower means that the insect is able to land before climbing up the tube. During this process the bee will dislodge pollen and then transfer it to another plant.
Foxglove contains a chemical which can be used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure as it can raise blood flow and increase the body's defence mechanisms. However this plant is poisonous.

My fascination with tennis nets and iterative figures in general came about when I learned to form a Tikopian net. I loved the figure and found that I could continue the weaving sequence and form longer and longer nets. I varied the procedure for making the figure a bit and it became a show stopper when I was giving demonstrations. The following description shows how I form the 3 loop tennis net.
•	Begin with Opening A.
•	Pass each thumb away from you over the near index string and under the far index string, then pick up the near little finger string and return.
•	Pass each index down through the upper thumb loop, then pick up the lower far thumb string and return.
•	Drop both thumb loops and extend.
•	Pass each thumb away from you over the lower near index string and under all other strings, then pick up the near little finger string and return.
•	Drop the little finger loop and extend.
Pass each little finger down through the upper index loop, then toward you under both strings of the lower index loop, pick up the far thumb string and return through the upper index loop. Drop the thumb loop and extend.
Pass each thumb between the lower and upper near index strings, pick up the lower and upper far index strings (maintain their relative order) and return.
Drop the upper index loop.
Transfer the thumb loop to the top of the index, inserting the index from below, then retransfer this loop to the thumb, inserting the thumb from above (this accomplishes a -1/2 rotation of the thumb loop).

I have been on the program for 8 weeks and am feeling very proud of myself. I cannot believe that I have resisted the old familiar urges to binge! I made a decision when I started the program to not find out what I weighed or what my goal weight was - I have found over the years that I sabotage myself during diets and by not knowing what my weight is or how much I have to lose, I have found it easier to focus on the food and the program in a healthier and more productive way. I would be lying if I did not say that at my 4-week weigh in I was not bursting at the seams to ask how much I had lost, but I stood firm and 4 weeks later am feeling very good about myself for the first time in a long while. While this decision not to weigh (or measure) myself is a uniquely personal one, the success that I have experienced thus far on the program has made me realise this was the right choice for me. I hope that by sharing this with you that someone else who has previously sabotaged themselves in the past may benefit.

Jérémie Aliadière, né le  à Rambouillet, est un footballeur français qui évolue au poste d'attaquant.

Considéré comme un des plus grands espoirs du football français, Jérémie Aliadière signe à Arsenal dès ses seize ans en 1999. L'attaquant reste à Londres jusqu'en 2007 sans jamais s'y imposer. Il joue les trois saisons suivantes à Middlesbrough où les blessures et la concurrence au poste ne lui permettent pas de s'installer comme titulaire. Mis à l'essai par West Ham en , il est victime d'une rupture des ligaments croisés, le laissant au chômage pendant douze mois. À l'été 2011, il rejoint Lorient où il met une année à retrouver toutes ses sensations et se libérer de tous ses pépins physiques. En 2012-2013, l'attaquant réalise la première saison pleine de sa carrière à trente ans avec 19 buts en 37 rencontres toutes compétitions confondues. Dans la foulée, il est sollicité par l'Olympique lyonnais et son nom est évoqué pour intégrer l'équipe de France. Il reste finalement à Lorient une saison de plus avant de signer un ultime contrat au Qatar.

Biographie

Formation à Clairefontaine puis Arsenal
Natif de Rambouillet, il intègre le centre de préformation de l'INF Clairefontaine, pour une durée prévue de trois ans.

À l'âge de 16 ans, il rejoint le club anglais d'Arsenal. Il est alors considéré comme l'un des plus grands espoirs du football français. Le club anglais débourse 15 MF (soit €) pour s'attacher ses services. Ce transfert connaît alors un certain retentissement médiatique, et devient l'exemple même du pillage de la formation à la française par les grands clubs étrangers. Arsène Wenger, l'entraîneur français d'Arsenal, est lui-même accusé de piller les centres de formation français.

Au sujet de ce transfert, Jérémie Aliadière déclare aujourd'hui ceci : .

Dans un premier temps, Aliadière intègre les jeunes d'Arsenal où il y reste deux ans. Après quelques prouesses et une Youth FA Cup (Coupe nationale junior) remportée en 2001, il convainc le coach alsacien de le faire entrer dans l'équipe première où le secteur offensif est très bien garni avec Sylvain Wiltord, Dennis Bergkamp, Nwankwo Kanu et Thierry Henry.

Débuts professionnels avec les Gunners
Après avoir joué des tours aux équipes de jeunes d'Arsenal, Jérémie Aliadière fait ses débuts en Premier League au cours de la saison 2001-2002 contre Fulham, en remplacement de Thierry Henry (victoire 4-1), et marque son premier but au début de la saison suivante, le , contre West Bromwich Albion (victoire 5-2).

Au cours de la saison 2003-2004, Jérémie Aliadière, victime de la concurrence au sein de l'effectif dispose d'un temps de jeu relativement faible. Il ne joue que dix matches en Premier League, le plus souvent comme remplaçant. Il joue davantage en Coupe de la Ligue, compétition pour laquelle Arsène Wenger décide de faire tourner son équipe. Malgré ce temps de jeu assez faible, il fait donc partie de l'effectif qui remporte le championnat en restant invaincu.

Longtemps blessé, Jérémie Aliadière manque une bonne partie de la saison 2004-2005, ne disputant que quelques matchs avec l'équipe première (0 but) et quelques autres matches avec l'équipe réserve, avec quelques buts à la clé.

Prêts successifs
Malgré ce temps de jeu limité, le club lui propose, à l'été 2005, une prolongation de contrat jusqu'en 2009, assortie d'un prêt d'un an au Celtic Glasgow, ce qu'il accepte. L'aventure écossaise tourne court : lassé d'être sur la touche, il quitte le championnat écossais sans y avoir participé au bout de deux mois seulement. Il part alors à West Ham United où il ne parvient pas non plus à s'imposer. Le , West Ham décide de se séparer de lui. Il est alors prêté à Wolverhampton, une équipe de deuxième division, pour le reste de la saison 2005-2006.

À l'issue de cet exercice, il retourne à Arsenal où il reste un an de plus. Il retrouve des couleurs en allant marquer un doublé en Coupe de la Ligue contre West Bromwich. Au cours de cette saison 2006-2007, il joue principalement cette compétition pour laquelle Arsène Wenger décide de faire tourner son équipe, et beaucoup moins en championnat. À l'issue de l'exercice, le , il est transféré à Middlesbrough pour la somme de deux millions de livres.

Middlesbrough

Jérémie Aliadière marque son premier but en Premier League sous ses nouvelles couleurs en , à Old Trafford contre Manchester United (défaite 4-1). À cette occasion, il inscrit son premier but en Premier League depuis celui marqué avec Arsenal le .

En février 2008, lors d'un match contre Liverpool, il est expulsé après avoir giflé l'Argentin Javier Mascherano. Suspendu pour trois matchs, il fait appel et la peine, alourdie, passe à quatre matchs. De retour de suspension, il inscrit un nouveau but, le , contre son ancien club (match nul 1-1), et marque également lors de la dernière journée le  (victoire 8-1) contre Manchester City.

Au cours de ses trois années passées à Middlesbrough, Jérémie Aliadière dispose d'un temps de jeu plus important qu'à Arsenal, mais ne parvient pas vraiment à s'imposer, en raison de blessures récurrentes et d'une concurrence assez forte. À l'issue de la saison 2009-2010, l'attaquant quitte Middlesbrough.

Il se blesse gravement au genou (rupture du ligament croisé du genou) alors qu'il effectue un essai avec l'un des anciens clubs West Ham United. Aliadière devient libre après 161 rencontres en Angleterre pour 23 buts. Après un an sans club, passé à soigner sa blessure au genou, il est démoralisé :  confie-t-il à L'Équipe.

Arsène Wenger lui propose alors de venir s'entraîner avec le club d'Arsenal. En , il reprend même du service dans l'équipe réserve du club londonien.

FC Lorient
Un an après, son retour en France se fait pressentir, du côté de la Bretagne en l'occurrence : Lorient est sur sa piste. Il y signe en juillet 2011. Il semble alors qu'Arsène Wenger lui-même soit intervenu pour convaincre les dirigeants lorientais de recruter Jérémie Aliadière.

Le , à 28 ans, Jérémie Aliadière joue son premier match en première division française et une victoire 1-0 sur le terrain du Paris SG. Dès le mois d'août 2011, il réalise un doublé en Coupe de la Ligue contre Guingamp (victoire des Merlus 3-2 ap). Lors de la  de Ligue 1, il réalise à nouveau un doublé face à Saint-Étienne. À l'issue de la  contre le Stade rennais, il se blesse aux quadriceps. Il est victime d'une rechute au début de  et est indisponible un mois de plus. Au cours de cette nouvelle période d'indisponibilité, il reçoit notamment l'aide du préparateur physique Tiburce Darou, connu à Arsenal quelques années auparavant. Il revient en cours de saison, mais il est victime d'une nouvelle rechute en fin de saison.

Épargné par les pépins physiques au cours de l'intersaison, Jérémie Aliadière commence le championnat 2012-2013 avec deux buts lors des deux premiers matchs : le premier sur la pelouse du Paris Saint-Germain pour un match nul 2-2 et le second contre le champion de France en titre Montpellier en toute fin match, qui offre la victoire 2-1 à son club. Le , il inscrit un doublé contre Brest en huitième de finale de la Coupe de France et Lorient l'emporte 3-0. Le , il marque le but qui qualifie Lorient en demi-finale de la Coupe de France contre St-Étienne (victoire du FCL 2 buts à 1). La saison 2012-2013 est celle du renouveau pour lui, avec quinze buts et onze passes décisives à la clé en 31 matches. Les grands clubs français, comme les Olympiques de Marseille et lyonnais, lui font alors les yeux doux, mais il désire continuer à Lorient à qui il doit beaucoup, et enfin enchaîner.

Mais le Français se montre beaucoup trop irrégulier lors de la saison suivante, et qui plus est Christian Gourcuff lui préfère un Vincent Aboubakar efficace. Lors de la saison 2013-2014, il est moins prolifique et marque 8 buts.

Il lui reste un an de contrat à l'orée de la saison 2014/2015. C'est finalement vers le Qatar, et plus précisément vers Umm Salal SC, qu'il s'envole, malgré des différends entre les deux clubs : , déclare-t-il au Parisien.

Départ pour le Qatar
Après ses six premiers matchs, Aliadière totalise un but, contre El Jaish SC le .

Après une saison au Qatar, l'intérêt manifesté par divers clubs de Ligue 1 comme Bastia envers lui ne lui donne pas envie de revenir en France. .

Pour la première journée du championnat du Qatar 2015-2016, Jérémie Aliadière participe à la victoire de son club sur Al Khor (2-0).

Retour à Lorient
Il revient au FC Lorient le  en signant un contrat d'un an. Peu utilisé par Sylvain Ripoll, son temps de jeu s'accroît sous les ordres de Bernard Casoni, qui reprend l'équipe en novembre. La saison se termine par une relégation en Ligue 2 au terme de barrages disputés face à Troyes. Ces derniers font également une proposition de contrat au joueur qui refuse.

Style de jeu
Lorsqu'il évoluait en Angleterre, Jérémie Aliadière était surtout considéré comme un faux numéro 9 ou un attaquant de soutien. À Lorient, il évolue davantage dans un registre de buteur. , affirme-t-il aujourd'hui.

Q: SASS Index in nested list I'm trying to get the index of an item in a nested SASS list — by the first property. But the only way i can get a result is to include both properties in the item.
Is is doable with native SASS, or would it require a mixin/function? And any input to how i would do that?
The code i got:
$icons : (
  'arrow--down--full' '\e806', /* '' */
  'cog' '\e805', /* '' */
  'info' '\e807', /* '' */
  'arrow--down' '\e800', /* '' */
  'arrow--left' '\e801', /* '' */
  'arrow--right' '\e802', /* '' */
  'arrow--up' '\e803',  /* '' */
  'close' '\e804', /* '' */
  'search' '\e804', /* '' */
  'spin' '\e809' /* '' */
);

And my lookup
//Working
index($icons, 'search' '\e804');

//Not working, but what i want to achieve
index($icons, 'search');

A: It sounds like what you're talking about is a hash or lookup table, which Sass does not currently have. However, you can easily work around that in a variety of ways. Here are some examples.
You could structure your list a little differently:
$icons : (
  'arrow--down--full', '\e806', /* '' */
  'cog', '\e805', /* '' */
  'info', '\e807', /* '' */
  ...
);

I've added a comma after each item. Now to look it up you'd write a function like
@function lookup($list, $key) {
  @return nth( $list, ( ( index($list, $key) ) + 1) );
}

And call it like so
lookup($icons, 'cog'); // => '\e805'

You could push this a little further by making 2 different lists and then associating them via a similar function:
$icon-keys:    ('arrow--down--full', 'cog',    'info' ... );
$icon-values:  ('\e806',             '\e805',  '\e807' ... );

I've lined up the values with whitespace only to make them more legible to me so that they appear a bit like an actual table, but there are tons of ways of writing Sass lists, and you may prefer another. Then the function that associates them:
@function lookup($lookup-key, $all-keys, $all-values) {
  @return nth($all-values, index($all-keys, $lookup-key));
}

And using it:
lookup('cog', $icon-keys, $icon-values); // => '\e805'

For my tastes, these are both a bit clunky so I'd make a shortcut function to make it a bit more legible:
for the first variation:
@function icons($lookup-key) {
  @return lookup($icons, $lookup-key);
}

for the second:
@function icons($lookup-key, $types: $icon-keys, $values: $icon-values) {
  @return lookup($lookup-key, $types, $values);
}

so you could just in either case call
icons('cog');

You'd probably want to put a little more logic in your lookup functions to error catch, and you could also expand it to both accept and return a list rather than a single value, but this is just a basic example.

A: @cimmanon answered this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17004655/786123
@function find-value($list, $key) {
    @each $item in $list {
        @if ($key == nth($item, 1)) {
            @return nth($items, 2);
        }
    }
    @return false;
}

The fake "Kathryn Porter from Lloyds Bank TSB" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are impersonating the real person and who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.
Though I have not considered this medium to be the best manner to have approached you on this issue knowing that the Internet has been greatly abused over the recent years and is very unsecured for information of vital importance. I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other means could have been faster and more efficient than the E-mail.
I am Kathryn Porter, a Canadian Citizen, a Staff of Lloyds Bank United Kingdom and i have a very important issue to discuss with you.Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Identify and diagnose Dutch elm disease
Dutch elm disease is one of the most serious tree diseases in the world. It has killed over 60 million British elms in two epidemics and continues to spread today.
This page will help you to identify and diagnose Dutch elm disease and will tell you all that you need to know about its history and spread throughout Britain.
Details of the disease
First epidemic caused by fungus Ophiostoma ulmi from the 1920s onwards
Second and ongoing epidemic caused by the highly aggressive and related fungus O. novo-ulmi, first recognised in the 1970s
Elm bark beetles in the genus Scolytus disseminate the fungus
Infects all of Britain's major elm species
Fungus invades water conducting system of trees
Symptoms first appear in early summer
Clusters of leaves turn yellow and wilt
Leaves then turn brown and fall
Affected shoots die back from the tip
Twigs sometimes turn down to form 'shepherd's crooks'
Twigs have dark streaks in the outer wood beneath the bark, or spots or rings in cross section
Browse more pictures of disease symptoms and find out how to make a diagnosis
We have shown that Ophiostoma ulmi and O. novo-ulmi have spread across Europe, North America and central Asia in two major migratory events.
The two pathogens cannot coexist when their ranges overlap and O. ulmi is eliminated although transient hybrids are formed between the two species. This has allowed useful genes to be acquired by O. novo-ulmi from O. ulmi and been the driver for rapid evolutionary change.
Ophiostoma novo-ulmi exists as two subspecies: subspecies americana and novo-ulmi. They are currently hybridising freely in Europe where they come into contact having invaded the continent in a 'pincer movement'
ds RNA viruses, known as d-factors, debilitate both Dutch elm disease pathogens. A recent collaboration with Scion, New Zealand, has explored the potential of these viruses to act as bio-control agents of O. novo-ulmi.
The beetles that spread Dutch elm disease have distinct feeding preferences for certain species of elm, so even susceptible elms can sometimes escape the disease if they are not attractive to the beetles.
The geographic origins of both elm pathogens are unknown. However, emerging evidence suggests that O. ulmi could be endemic to Japan.

The Neiman Health Policy Institute is at it again, adding yet another online tool to help imaging practices make the right clinical and economic decisions. The institute released the Breast Screening Bundle Tool after a presentation at the American College of Radiology (ACR) Annual Meeting.
Practices can include screening mammography plus any mix of seven additional services in the estimate, including breast ultrasound, MRI and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The tool was developed using claims data from CMS 5 percent identifiable files from 2013 to 2015.
The currently available bundled payment models put radiology at a disadvantage: their key focus is to lower the total medical spend, but studies showing the cost-efficiency of imaging interventions are few and far between, according to James Whitfill, MD, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. This results in bundled payment models where radiologists are relegated to the sidelines, unable to qualify for the bonus payments that come with utilization of advanced payment models.
However, breast cancer screening is an opportunity for radiologists to own an advanced payment model, according to Geraldine McGinty, MD, vice chair of the ACR Board of Chancellors and a co-author on a study outlining a breast imaging bundle.

Mohoric Triumphs on the Deutschland Tour
After a splendid battle between the big guns of the Deutschland Tour all the way to the finish line of the fourth and final stage, Matej Mohoric managed to keep his overall leader's red jersey and wins this 2018 edition of the race, ten years after its last appearance on the world cycling calendar. But The Slovenian had to give all he had to conquer the GC, threatened by all his rivals in the final loops around Stuttgart. The final day eventually saw Germany's Nils Politt claim the stage win ahead of Mohoric and Caruso. At only 23 years of age, Mohoric conquers a second consecutive stage race after claiming the Binck Bank Tour just a week ago. Mohoric wins the event with a 6'' lead over Politt and 12'' over Schachmann.
Sweet Revenge for commanding Mohoric
The beautiful Saarland area of Germany offered all the ingredients for an eventful battle between the big guns of the Deutschland Tour. Second yesterday behind Schachmann, Matej Mohotric enjoyed a sweet revenge claiming a fine victory. After the final hilly part of the day, the Slovenian proved to be the fastest of the reduced bunch, beating Nils Politt and Pieter Vanspeybrouck to the line. Junior World champion, U23 World champion and recently winner of the Binck Bank Tour, Mohoric conquers the overall lead and takes an option on final victory before the final day tomorrow in Stuttgart.
Hodeg, Colombian Sensation
The last time a rider raised his arm in the air on the finish line of the Deutschland Tour was ten years ago so who better then a young and promising sprinter to do so again on this brand new edition of the event. As expected stage 1 of the race was decided in a bunched sprint on the final long straight in Bonn but while many were expecting German specialists Kittel, Greipel or Ackerman, Alvaro Hodeg triumphantly powered to the line. The Colombian eventually captured the win ahead of Ackerman and Bonifazio and naturally conquers the overall leader's red jersey. (...)
Thomas, Dumoulin and Bardet to enlighten the revived Deutschland Tour
Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, runner up Tom Dumoulin and Romain Bardet are the big names of the Deutschland Tour set to serve as the platform for the new generation of German cycling. Local heroes of today (Marcel Kittel, André Greipel, Pascal Ackermann), tomorrow (Maximilian Schachmann, Nils Politt, Lennard Kämna) and after tomorrow (the young guns of the continental teams) are on their toes for the race due to take place from August 23 to 26. From Koblenz to Stuttgart, the whole German cycling community is involved in the event.
Young German national champion Pascal Ackermann, 24, who already has six victories under his belt this year, will pin the bib number 1 on Thursday at the start in Koblenz the day after the team presentation in which the riders will travel by ski lift from the city's castle to the Deutsches Eck at the confluence of the Rhein and Mosel rivers. The symbol of the German unity lays there. The sprinter of Bora-Hansgrohe – one of the two German WorldTour teams lining up, the other one being Team Sunweb – is also the symbol of the passing of the baton between two generations of fast men used to win a lot.
Top rider for the premiere: Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas to start at the Tour of Germany
When the Tour of Germany celebrates its comeback after a ten-year break on August 23, one rider will stand out among the 132 professionals. Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) will make his first official race appearance after winning the Tour de France at the Deutschland Tour. The 32-year-old Welshman has opted for the four-day race from Koblenz to Stuttgart to enter the second half of the season.
The roads of Germany have been a good place for Thomas so far. Last year he won the opening ITT of the Tour de France in Düsseldorf and wore the yellow jersey in the world's biggest race for the first time. A good omen for the sovereign victory this year. The German races in the years before were also characterized by success, especially at the Tour of Bavaria.. (...)
German WorldTour riders at the start of the Deutschland Tour
The new Deutschland Tour is a "must" for many German pro cyclists. With 15 German WorldTour riders on the preliminary start list, it is clear that the majority of the German elite has decided to take on the four-day stage race, which runs August 23-26 from Koblenz to Stuttgart.
The German contingent will be led by German national champion Pascal Ackermann, who has already ridden the entire course of the Deutschland Tour. Living up to the race's motto of "Deutschland.Deine Tour." his Bora-hansgrohe team will ride their homeland race with five German riders. Team Sunweb is also coming with a strong line-up, and will look to sprinter Max Walscheid. Team Katusha-Alpecin, with top sprinter Marcel Kittel, plans a team for every race scenario. There is still a large question mark as to the participation of Tony Martin, due to the injury he suffered in the Tour de France.
Battle for the jerseys at the Deutschland Tour
The 132 pro riders who will take part in the Deutschland Tour from August 23-26, will fight for four leader jerseys on their way from Koblenz to Stuttgart. In addition to the leader in the overall rankings, sprint and mountain rankings will be carried out on the four stages as well as the best young rider sought.
The leader's jersey of the Deutschland Tour will present a very special surprise. It becomes the Hall of Fame for the Tour's fans, as it carries the names of the thousands of fans who have helped to plan and put on the Deutschland Tour. The best rider has the honor of representing the fans and the unique co-operative concept of "Deutschland. Deine Tour." (...)
Eurosport becomes international TV-partner of the Deutschland Tour
The Amaury Sport Organization (A.S.O.) and Discovery Communications have entered into a long-term agreement for the international live broadcast of the Deutschland Tour on the Eurosport channels. The premiere of the new Deutschland Tour will take place from 23rd to 26th August and will cover four stages from Koblenz to Stuttgart.
Eurosport will take over the complete two-hour live TV signal, produced by A.S.O. for each of the four stages of the Deutschland Tour using its television channels Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 as well as the Eurosport Player on mobile and web-based platforms. The live broadcast takes place in 60 countries of the pan-European and Asia-Pacific territory. Together with further TV-rights holders of the Deutschland Tour, the first edition of the race is already being distributed in 190 countries.
German Continental teams for the Deutschland Tour selected
The binding qualification criteria for the German Continental teams for the Deutschland Tour were announced at the start of the season. Now that the German championships have been held, the two best-placed German Continental teams in the BDR's Rad-Bundesliga and the UCI Europe Tour have received invitations to the Deutschland Tour. The teams Lotto-Kern Haus, Dauner D&DQ Akkon, Heizomat Rad-Net.de and Sauerland NRW p/b SKS Germany have fulfilled these criteria and will take part in the Deutschland Tour. Germany's only stage race for Elite Men takes place August 23-26 and runs over four stages from Koblenz to Stuttgart.
As the top team in the Rad-Bundesliga and second ranked German team in the Europe Tour, Team Lotto-Kern Haus qualified easily for the Deutschland Tour. The first stage of the race will be a "home game" for the Koblenz-based team. The team with manager Florian Monreal is naturally motivated: "We want to present ourselves in the second half of the season as we have so far. That certainly applies to the Deutschland Tour with the start in Koblenz and near the headquarters of our main sponsor Lotto. We want to show ourselves every day and bring in one or more top results."
Top cast for the Deutschland Tour – eleven WorldTeams at the start
In its very first year back, the Deutschland Tour can expect a highly rated peloton. Eleven teams from the highest category, the UCI WorldTour, have registered for the four-day stage race (August 23-26). The list of UCI WorldTeams is led by the two German teams, Bora-hansgrohe and Team Sunweb, as well as Team Katusha Alpecin. Germany's only stage race for Elite men is a special one in the racing calendar for these teams with a large contingent of German riders.
The fans can also look forward to the top international teams with German riders: Quick-Step Floors, AG2R La Mondiale, Lotto Soudal, Movistar Team and Team Sky will take part in the Deutschland Tour. Teams Bahrain-Merida, BMC Racing Team and Team Dimension Data round out the start list of teams from the UCI WorldTour.

Home ENTERTAINMENT Classic Titles: .hack
.hack//Infection, the first game entry in the series. Source: http://dothack.wikia.com
Classic Titles: .hack
Tim Morris
The PS2-era was saturated with RPGs of varying quality. We had Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Kingdom Hearts (and its numerous remakes and spin-offs), Baldur's Gate, Digimon, Grandia, Persona, Suikoden, and Xenosaga. Somewhat lost in all the big names of that generation was a little JRPG that could, and it was called .hack.
.hack//Infection, the first game entry in the series.
Source: http://dothack.wikia.com
Describing the .hack games is difficult to do with words; it's really better to become acquainted with them through playing. In a nutshell, the .hack games simulate an MMORPG, or "massively multiplayer online role-playing game". There are multiple MMO elements present here: mounts, trading with other players, the ability to ask your party members to perform certain actions, and a short mail system for forming parties. In this simulated MMO called The World, anomalies in the game cause unforeseen effects on its players, most notably that some players become comatose as a result of playing the game.
It's worth noting that there are actually two separate series of .hack games for the PS2. There is Project .hack, which refers to the first four games: Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine. These games tell the story of Kite, who on his very first adventure in The World watched in horror as his friend Orca was killed by a bugged monster and rendered comatose in the real world. After his traumatizing experience, the game follows Kite's investigation into Orca's demise and his experiences with other player-characters. The second series, known as G.U., consists of three games: Rebirth, Reminisce, and Redemption. G.U. chronicles the adventures of Haseo, who seeks revenge on the mysterious Tri-Edge for killing his friend Shino in-game and causing her to become comatose. Both sets of games rely heavily on their stories to hook players, but the gameplay is not to be overlooked.
Gameplay from .hack//Infection
When it comes to game mechanics and the like, if you enjoyed Kingdom Hearts, you'll probably enjoy .hack's seven offerings. Fans of turn-based RPGs need not apply, as .hack is a real-time, action-based effort. However, the control afforded to players in .hack was unparalleled for its time. There are general commands that will tell your AI-controlled party members to use their skills, heal, only attack with magic or physically, or use an item to warp you out of a dungeon. That sort of control is nice enough, but then it goes far deeper. You can tell a particular teammate to attack a specific enemy and even dictate to them which skill or spell you want them to use. Ultimately, the system allows you to approach a battle in any number of ways and rarely are you shoehorned into using a single method to take out a monster.
The timeline of the .hack franchise actually begins with a novel, called Epitaph of Twilight. There are also a number of manga, anime, and OVA works in the series to seek out. As far as which of these you need to experience (in addition to the games) to get a better understanding of the universe, the two major anime series, .hack//SIGN and .hack//Roots, are required viewing. You really need to see both of them to get a better understanding of what's going on in the games, but also because they're quite entertaining, and this is coming from a guy who isn't much for anime.
Without spoiling too much, each series of .hack games is full of twists and turns, new friends and enemies, and a noticeable rise in activity as the games progress. Even though each game takes only 15-20 hours to beat, there's a lot to do; there are numerous side quests and optional adventures that will keep the series feeling fresh long enough to finish. The one problem this series has nowadays is the price point. Since the games have gotten hard to find in game stores, one must resort to the likes of Amazon and eBay, where prices have skyrocketed over the last few months. When I re-purchased .hack//Quarantine a few months back, it cost me $80, as it is the rarest of the seven existing titles. However, the other games all cost me less than their original price of $49.99 when they were released, so the price wound up being more than worth it.
I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that the Playstation 2 was the golden age of the RPG. With so many good ones out there, it's tough to narrow your collection down to only a few; unless you're rich, in which case more power to you. However, if you want a truly deep gameplay experience with an epic story, look no further than .hack to satisfy your needs.

Do You Have Suffrage Ancestors

Do you have suffragettes in your family tree?
Find out how you can help The National Archives mark 100 years of women getting the vote & take part in a free family history web event
Do you have stories from your own family history that could help The National Archives (TNA) mark the centenary in 2018 of women getting the vote?
TNA is planning activities that will centre around the 100th anniversary in February 2018 of the 1918 Representation of the People Act, which granted the vote to women over the age of 30 who met a property qualification. The Act also gave the vote to all men over the age of 21.
The archives, based at Kew, Richmond, Surrey, will also be continuing events into next summer to mark 90 years in July since all women got the vote under the Equal Franchise Act 1928, which gave equal voting rights to men and women over the age of 21.
Vanessa Moore, a spokesperson for TNA, explained: 'We currently have a project looking at all our suffrage records. We're also searching for stories from the general public to share and we were hoping that your readers could possibly help us.
'We've got a webinar happening next month on "Tracing your suffrage ancestors" and we would love for your readers to join us. The web event is free and will take place on Wednesday, 13 September from 6-7pm.
'We have so much happening and we really want the general public to be part of our celebrations and to share people's stories.'
The 'Tracing your suffrage ancestors' webinar is completely free: register for your place at here.
