I suppose if we have to place one word on this dilemma it would have to be the word "discipline." Maybe it is "priorities." Or even "focus." Regardless of what you choose to label it, what we decide to do each day determines our future.
In all probability, the majority of your daily tasks have very little to do with you achieving your important goals. I know you are working hard. I know you are putting honest effort into everything you do. The facts remain; how you spend your time may not be in the best interest of your future.
The 80/20 Rule has been bandied about for years and can fit into almost any work related comparison. For you technical geeks, it is often referred to as the Pareto Principle.
In truth, the flipside is often the case. We spend 20% on the important stuff. 80% of the time we are working hard on tasks that in the end don't influence our eating habits.
I'm reminded of the acronym WIN. It stands for What's Important Now. If you can discipline yourself to ask this question on a regular basis, your productivity will not only increase, but your bottom line will swell to a most impressive figure. What's important to you… now?

The Greater Toronto Transportation Conference (GTTC) is an organization of senior people involved in planning, design or provision of transportation infrastructure or services in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Originally formed as the Joint Traffic Committee in 1926, and later known as the Metro Toronto Transportation Conference, the GTTC is a unique forum for dialogue relating to all aspects of transportation policy, planning, operation and service provision across the GTA.
Membership in the GTTC is open to senior individuals in public or private sector transportation related organizations. The GTTC meets seven times a year on a Friday over lunch (usually the 4th Friday of the month). Lunch time discussions of the most topical transportation issues in the GTA are always lively, informative, frank and collegial.

Virus-like protein is essential for people's memory
Breaking new ground 12. mar 2020 3 min Postdoctoral Researcher Simon Erlendsson Written by Morten Busch
A symphony of proteins orchestrates small changes in nerve cell connectivity that regulate human memory. One of the key proteins is Arc that enables the nerve cells to grow and functions as a signal between them. Now researchers have mapped the structure of Arc and found that, confusingly, it resembles a protein that HIV uses to encapsulate itself. Arc also creates virus-like particles that can transmit information between nerve cells. The new knowledge improves our understanding of how nerve cells communicate and how this system might be used to create medicine that can be delivered better into the brain.
Simon Erlendsson

Brain cells work rapidly when we experience things or learn. Electrical and chemical signals are transmitted between cells, and synapse connections are created or destroyed. This is how we remember and forget again. The Arc protein plays a key role in adjusting memory and helps the brain's neurons to grow. Arc can also change shape and function as an external signalling molecule. The researchers hope that they can use this property to understand how we remember and learn but also to develop medicine that can cross barriers in cells and the brain.
"To do this, we need to understand Arc's somewhat peculiar behaviour better. In that process, we found that Arc is similar to the proteins used by HIV to form a protective shell – a capsid. Exactly how the gene encoding Arc was introduced into our DNA is still uncertain. What is certain, however, is that Arc originally stems from another organism. Subsequently repurposed, it has also become a key actor in our brains and in our ability to remember and learn," says Simon Erlendsson, Assistant Professor, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom and Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen.
Long-term memory disappears
It is not just Arc's similarity to HIV that makes it very special. The genetic template for most proteins is in or around the cell nucleus, whereas this template for Arc is transported all the way to the synapses through which the nerve cells communicate, which are often very far from the cell nucleus where they are formed. In this way, Arc is always available in the synapses and plays a crucial role in regulating the cytoskeleton that controls the shape and function of nerve cells.
"Arc provides a potentiation effect that promotes the growth of neurons when new contacts in the brain need to be created. Many RNA templates of Arc are therefore ready in the synapses, so that Arc can be produced at very short notice," explains Simon Erlendsson.
When genes are translated into proteins, the cell first translates the genes' DNA into messenger RNA molecules, which are then translated into proteins with the aid of ribosomes. Arc messenger RNA is translated directly into the synapses by a full arsenal of polyribosomal units.
"There is currently much focus on understanding how Arc plays such a pivotal role in the brain. If Arc is removed from the brain of rats, their long-term memory disappears because certain neurons and/or synapses are downregulated. Arc stimulates the creation and restructuring of the cytoskeleton and also interacts with many other proteins – especially with receptors stimulated by glutamate present on the cell surface of neurons," says Simon Erlendsson.
Pathway for treating brain diseases
Glutamate is one of the most important neurotransmitters in our brain, and glutamate receptors therefore play an equally central role.
"Arc appears to redistribute the production of these receptors. Because the receptors are heavily recycled, strict regulation is important, and here Arc plays a very important role. But that is not all, because Arc is a fairly crazy protein in every way. It turns out that Arc can also interact with itself, forming virus-like capsids containing Arc messenger RNA. Incredibly, the Arc capsids can also travel from neuron to neuron, thus regulating networks of individual synapses or whole neurons," explains Simon Erlendsson.
In particular, Arc's ability to form capsids has especially increased the interest in understanding its structure. However, using and imitating these abilities may be possible without fully understanding its structure. Delivering medicine into the brain and into brain cells is usually extremely difficult, which makes it even harder to treat brain diseases.
"We wanted to understand Arc's unique characteristics and therefore started to study Arc's structure and capsids and how these change. During the process, we came across the rather surprising similarities to the group-specific antigen (gag) proteins from retroviruses such as HIV," says Simon Erlendsson.
Neither fish nor fowl
In retroviruses, the gag protein also forms viral capsids that protect the viral DNA and other viral machinery from being degraded in the cells. Retroviruses spread from cell to cell through these protective capsids and are able to incorporate their viral DNA into the host that is infected. Retroviruses thus use the cells' own machinery to multiply.
"Our high-resolution structure of the Arc capsids shows that they are similar in structure to retroviral and especially HIV capsids and that several key elements and functions are preserved between the Arc capsids and retroviruses. Arc has probably been incorporated into our DNA as a simpler and earlier type of retrovirus," explains Simon Erlendsson.
By comparing the Arc DNA sequences from many organisms, researchers have been able to look back in time to identify the places in which these very unique proteins may have originated. However, although fish and fowl have no equivalents, the proteins can be found in the organisms we use to make beer.
"Yeast contains the Ty3 retrotransposon that also forms capsids and that the yeast uses to reorganize its DNA. Conversely, the Ty3 capsids cannot be transferred between cells. Our studies show that Ty3 is a common ancestor of both Arc and HIV. Arc was probably introduced into our DNA about 250 million years ago, although we do not know how. Throughout evolution, many different viruses have inserted genes into our DNA. However, the body has been able to suppress or completely remove the vast majority of these genes. But Arc has been repurposed, and the cells have instead started to use it to regulate some of the processes that control our memory," says Simon Erlendsson.
"Structures of virus-like capsids formed by the Drosophila neuronal Arc proteins" has been published in Nature Neuroscience. In 2018, the Novo Nordisk Foundation awarded a grant to Simon Erlendsson for the project Synaptic Plasticity by Viral Mimicry.

Q: universal property of stein factorization This question has not the ambition of being very precise, instead it is more philosophical.
The question is the following: does the Stein factorization of a morphism have some kind of universal property? i.e. all morphism of some type factor through it, like the situation you have in the case of fibered products

A: There is a kind of "universal property" of the Stein factorization of the following type.
Theorem (Stability of the factorization under deformation). Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be a surjective holomorphic map between complex projective varieties, and let $$X \stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} Z \stackrel{\beta}{\longrightarrow} Y$$ be the corresponding Stein factorization. Then any deformation $$f' \colon X \longrightarrow Y$$ of $f$ factors through $\beta$.
For a proof, see this paper by Kebekus and Peternell.
There is another kind of "universal property" which holds not only for the Stein factorization, but for any morphism with connected fibres. It is the following
Rigidity Lemma. Let $\alpha \colon X \to Z$ and $f \colon X \to Y$ be proper  morphisms of complex projective varieties. Assume that $\alpha_* \mathcal{O}_X =\mathcal{O}_Z$.
If $f$ contracts all fibres of $\alpha$, then it factors through $\alpha$.
For a proof, see [Debarre, Higher-Dimensional Algebraic Geometry, Lemma 1.15 p. 12].

A: For a proper morphism of schemes $f:X\to Y$, the Stein factorization may be defined simply as $Z=\mathrm{Spec} f_*\mathcal{O}_X$. This construction makes sense for any quasicompact and quasiseparated morphism (to ensure that $f_*\mathcal{O}_X$ is quasicoherent), and then $Z$ is the "affine hull" of $f$, universal for factorizations $X\to T\to Y$ where $T\to Y$ is affine. See EGA1, (9.1.21) (Springer edition).
This universal property is easy to prove; in the proper case, the property stated by Georges, related to the connected components of fibers, is deeper.

A: Dear Yusky,   consider a proper holomorphic map of complex spaces $f:X\to Y$. (Please note that there is absolutely no condition on these complex spaces)
You can consider the set of connected components of the fibres of $f$: call that set $|Y'|$.
 Stein factorization tells you that you can endow that set with the structure of a complex space $Y'=(|Y'|,\mathcal O_Y)$ so that there is a canonical factorization $f=\pi\circ f'$, where $\pi:Y'\to Y$ is a finite morphism and $f':Y \to Y'$ is holomorphic, proper, surjective  with connected fibers and satisfies $f'_{\ast}\mathcal O_X=\mathcal O_Y'$.
The universal property you are looking for is the following :
Universal property If $g: X\to Z$ is a morphism of complex spaces constant on the connected components of the fibers of $f$, then there is is a unique holomorphic map $g':Y'\to Z$ with $g=g'\circ f'$.
This is due to Stein, Remmert and Cartan, and uses some powerful tool: either Remmert's proper mapping theorem, according to which the proper image of an analytic set is analytic or Grauert's celebrated (even stronger) direct image theorem, according to which the direct image of a coherent sheaf under a proper holomorphic map is coherent.
Bibliography What could be a better reference than a book written by the two giants of twentieth century complex analysis mentioned above? Look at page 219 of
Grauert, H. and Remmert, R.: Coherent analytic sheaves. Grundl. Math. Wiss. 265, Springer-
Verlag (1984).

PRINT May 1997
Sperone Westwater Barone/Boisanté
It's been a long time since I've seen an installation in which the wall became so much more than a neutral backdrop. At Sperone Westwater, Not Vital's bronze castings of sheep tongues projected from the gallery wall like claws in a horror film. Some turned into fingers, while others were obviously penile. Only the devil knows what polymorphous monster hid behind the wall. In Snowballing the Giraffe, 1997, Vital seemed to have hurled globs of plaster at it, but clearly the creature is more unsavory and bizarre than a giraffe, and the comic snowballs don't begin to penetrate its lair. The skin-and-bone remains of its meal were all around the gallery—a horn, a zebra skull hanging on the wall, ostrich skin, and, to cap it all, a stuffed greyhound supporting a plaster cast of a human leg.
The gallery's front room served as something like an antechamber to the inner sanctum of the backroom, where the manneristic taxidermized dog—a hybrid of animal and human—acted as a high altar. The marble herm with the satyr's head in the front room prepared us for the experience in the back, as did a bench with busts painted immaculately white for legs. A drawing (seen with other earlier works on paper at Baron Boisanté) entitled Golden Calf, 1989—the luminous bovine form set against a pitch black ground—makes Vital's point succinctly: his art is about sacred space, where the hierarchy between the divine and the animal, between the transcendental and natural, has been collapsed. Animals have always represented the sacred for Vital, as his "pole animals," fetishized animal parts from the early '90s, made clear, but in this installation he outdid himself. There seems no return to the relative calm and concentration of his expressive drawings, where the sacred takes the form of a gnostic contrast between the dark power of demiurgic, animalistic impulse and the steady force of blissful light.
All of Vital's works have the character of initiation rituals. In the first room of the Sperone Westwater installation, the inedible remains of the animal meal evoked the climax of Dionysian ritual, in which an animal is torn apart and consumed. (The connection between such ritual and cannibalism is made transparent in Vital's use of the human leg.) The garbage cans in the show—found plastic trash receptacles topped with silver lids—added a flippant note to the installation's sinister atmosphere. In its Apollonian aftermath—suggested by the second room—the initiate is reborn as a spiritual being. Vital's treatment of the sacred even manages to transform the animals. As the taxidermic process has freed the dog of all its fleshy matter, the animal itself has been purified.

What's occurring right now in America is a war on Whites. It's an endless cycle of discriminatory practices and an attempt to erase and rewrite history.
The entire media labels anyone who advocates for white rights as "racist" or "bigoted" and that's simply just not true.
White Nationalism doesn't mean White Supremacy and it's not about hate at all. Most of what the far right is advocating for is the protection of the culture and history which is being assaulted full frontal full speed ahead.
The attempts to remove monuments which have been in place since after the Civil War, the constant tyranny and oppression of Whites by labeling them as hate mongers when they're simply trying to preserve their culture and existence as a people.
That occurred again today ahead of the #UniteTheRight rally In Charlottesville, as three proactive advocates for white rights were tossed off an Uber ride by the driver who claimed they were being "racist".
That's not what happened though, and it's another sign of Anti-White bigotry that's shown prevalence to anyone who wants to speak and invoke their Constitutional rights to organize in favor of Whites and their culture.
Wes Bellamy, Mayor of Charlottesville himself has tweeted multiple Anti-White tweets in the past with derogatory terms you can see above in reference to whites. So it should come as no surprise he's consistently tried to shut down the rally.
That's not going to happen though, the rally will continue and the rally will go on regardless of what these Marxists try and do.
What's more infuriating is the fact that the average person falls for the nonstop media bait, and continues to advocate for hate against Whites.
After a Federal Judge has now decided to go against the Charlottesville council which revoked Unite The Right's permit, it seems that what's occurring and the treatment of those on the right traveling to this event is clearly Anti-White racism and bigotry, and nothing else.
Several other groups have permits at the rally such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa, so this will likely become a spectacle unlike what's ever been seen in the White Civil Rights movement.
It's clear at this point, nobody else is going to save you, white man. You have to fight for your own rights. If equality as defined by the Declaration of Independence is for everyone, then why aren't Whites afforded the same respect as everyone else?
Has anyone considered that Red Pill is in fact a Deep State operative, they are in the perfect position to maximise DS's operational effects.


Hello lovely. There are so many products out there, and so many promises. How do you know what will work, and what won't? And how long should it take before you notice a difference in your skin when you do start a new routine?
The answer to the first question is to not fall victim to skincare product claims, based solely on advertising. Consult with your aesthetician, someone who knows your skin, for recommendations on new product.
The answer to the second question is a little more complex!
It takes, roughly, 40 days for new skin turnover; as new cells form, they migrate to the top of the epidermal surface of the skin, which takes about 28 days. Then, it's another 12 days for those skin cells to slough off.
When you begin to use a new skin care product, we suggest the slow start: begin with a few times a week and monitor how your skin reacts. Sometimes sensitivity is to be expected, as with products containing retinols. But sometimes your skin reacts due to other reasons; environmental, physical or allergic.
If you notice any reaction, stop using the product, and wait a few days for your skin to calm down before continuing again. If you continue to react, you are experiencing a reaction to the product and should discontinue its' use.
On the other hand, if you experience no reaction, you're good to continue using the product and can increase the frequency, building up to daily use.
After about 6 weeks, you should begin to see the effects, and improvement, in your skin texture and feel.
Stop by the Studio and we can help you determine the best skin care routine for your skin type and lifestyle. Ciao!

The late Hollywood actor, Raymond Burr, he of Perry Mason and Ironside fame, had two passions… Fiji and orchids. So when he moved from fast lane Hollywood to Fiji, with its own Fijian time, Burr brought 1450 orchids and started a craze for these now very prolific flowers seen throughout the island.
Fiji, in the South Pacific off the northeast coast of New Zealand and made up of 333 island, is what dreams are made of and if you just can't take big city pace any longer, this may well be the place to settle. Many of the numerous islands, are still undeveloped and uninhabited. One learns quickly about the "treasures" of this island. From the start, learn the word Bula. This infectious 'hello' is heard every time you pass someone. This is, after all, "home to the world's friendliest " people.
It's an island with many industries. Of course, tourism tops the list followed by the sugar industry. And there are many by-products from the 18 types of hardwood, 6 are indigenous. Also the flora and fauna is famous as is the custom of not wearing wedding bands opting instead for a flowers behind their ears which tell their marital status. ..left side for those still single and right side flower wearers have already wedded. Although one time there was a chief who had 150 wives now it's one wife, one husband.
Once, not that long ago, there was also cannibalism on the island and that has happily disappeared -no need for visitors to worry about a hot pot. And one of the best facts is Fijians are known for their longevity, probably due to their diet of fish and fruit.
"It's impossible to go hungry here. We have a large variety of fish and many fruits like pineapples, mangoes, bananas and so much more agriculture and that's there for the taking. Yes, there are poor people as there are everywhere, but hunger isn't one of the major factors, " says my authoritative guide, Ed.
These days tourism is the largest industry with about 70,000 visiting each year with the goal of 100,000 annually. That shouldn't be too difficult. Just think of the bluest skies, warm with amazing hues of azure water, white powdery sandy beaches wherever you look along the Coral Coast and people who are so friendly that it's impossible to find any fault with their eager and always present kindness.
Although sugar was once the important industry, with the introduction of sweet substitutes, it is now second to tourism.
Now back to the seaside. If water sports are your 'thing' then Fiji is the perfect destination. There's snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, surfing, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and more.
However, if you're not an ardent sportive type, there are other activities here, too. For instance learning about fire walking, having hotels like Warwick Hotel prepare breakfast in the water with a mermaid on a settee handing out the plates, how to tie the always brightly colored sarongs a dozen different ways, learning to crack open a coconut with a carved pointed thick branch, being invited into bures (huts) to watch pottery making, a most romantic getaway, and drinking the ceremonial welcoming cup of Kava (Yaqona), dating back before history was recorded. Suddenly with this drink you become family. And as Ed frequently issued forth, it's all one big family on the island with a population of just under 1 million. What I learned is that family is most important.
"It's better than being rich," Ed tells me. "So everyone who has been invited into a Fijian village, managed drinking the cup of Kava with the various clapping of hands at the correct time, is family. As for kava, it's made from the dried Waka root that has been cleaned, pounded into a powder and then with added water (the less the stronger), it can numb the lips and in my case, the throat too, but to have refused would have been a great insult.
Ed also, couldn't resist telling us that "Kava makes good lovers". Equally important are traditions, rituals and respect.
As for fire walking, one evening a crowd gathered to see this incredible happening. Each of 8 strong, well built men, holding steel rods in their hands, pushed and shoved gigantic rocks and wooden planks into the correct position. Then at the Chief's command, they took turns walking on this searing bed of rocks. The applause was greater for those men who stayed on these burning rocks longer than a few seconds. Some pessimists in the crowd were convinced that they had too many cups of Kava or had anesthetized their feet.
As a naïve, I believe it's a well trained sport for the Beja tribe and also considering that they don't wear shoes, the callous build -up probably makes it possible to sustain the fiery rocks.
However, to be a fire walker, there are a few caveats. First, is not eating coconuts before the event since they are considered an aphrodisiac, and the other is to stay away from women for two weeks.
Being invited into Nakabuta Pottery Village/Sigatoka Town and becoming part of this family was an insight into Fijian life. The women work in the house, look after the children and as we sat in a semi circle, listened to a most harmonious singing performance before a show and selling their handmade carving and jewelry. As for singing, Ed states, "it's in our genes," as he too, begins to sing beautifully.
Religion is very important. The populations is made up of 55% Christians, 37% Indians (Moslems and Hindus) and the rest are smaller religions But there is one common denominator…language. Most speak English although there are 26 dialects. And suddenly education has become a way of life for many young people, realizing that the smaller the family, the easier it is to afford schooling for their off-spring. In the 'old days' having 15 siblings or more prevented many from learning to read and write due to schooling costs.
As I learned from my cab driver, Sam, a fifth generation Indian, there's a sincere, true loyalty to the country. Like many other Indians with whom I spoke, there didn't seem to be the need to go to India and learn about their heritage. "I'm a Fijian and that's that, "said the young driver. "I have no need to go away from here in search of anything. I have everything I want," the30 year old with two children, tells me. A major Rugby fan, (the national sport), Sundays are for watching the game and being with family. He reminds me that in 1819 many Indians came to work on sugar plantations. With few intermarriages since marriages are often arranged, they have kept that Indian tradition. Also back another is the sulu, the sensible below- the -knee skirts that men wear in this hot country.
How bored can one get by walking the beach, swimming, crawling thought the various caves, visiting Kula Eco Park, seeing ½ painted black faces and bodies of the fierce looking tribesmen who successfully originally scared off invaders with these colorations. Also, the Coral Coast, along the Queen's Highway (the northern section is called the King's Highway) can boast of fine hotels.
And certainly top of the line is the new and exquisite Intercontinental Hotel and Resort with three pools, (one especially for the kiddies), another at the private Executive Club accommodations. And who could resist the outdoor 'Cleopatra" bath tub with privacy curtaining and a full bottle of coconut bath suds? Also the spa is grand with a fine menu of treatments especially the 90 minute ginger oil body massage. But, it's the architecture of this hotel that is so unique and original that it's worthy of a visit to see the incredibly designed set of buildings that manage to keep some traditional aspect such as the shape of Fijian rooftops. Three words describe the Intercontinental…simple, modern and exquisite.
This hotel would be my choice stay after the long flight from Los Angeles on Air Pacific. Since the flight leaves after midnight, unbelievable as it may sound, the morning meal in Business Class, was excellent with a non plastic tasting omelet, very tasty sausages, a flaky croissant and fresh fruit. Air attendants, however, made sure to look after any needs during the 11 hour flight.
How could one no fall in love with this island paradise among the flora and fauna, especially the orchids that seem to appear everywhere and on every table? If only Raymond Burr could see his 'flowering gift', he would be delighted and even perhaps make a film about heaven on earth and call it Fiji.

Is Chloe the only one in Salem capable of logic? Does that automatically mean that Holly should be an official 'Lane'? And what will we have to look forward to once the new writer comes to town? Let's discuss it all in this edition of Two Scoops.
There's some stuff going on in Salem. And I promise we'll talk about it in a minute. But before we get there, I thought we should all get our cardio in by engaging in a little happy dancing! 5...6...7...8...
Wahooooooo!!!!! *Fist pump* *Running man* *Carlton dance* Ron Carlivati is coming to Salem as the new DAYS head writer! As I tweeted out earlier this week, hearing that news was like being a kid and finding out you were put in the same class as all your friends with the teacher you wanted. I watched OLTL and GH under Ron's pen. Not only is the guy good, but he'll be good for DAYS. I'm so excited. Not even another Ghost Daniel sighting can bring me down!
And so, while we may have to wait until later in the year to see his work, I'm optimistic about what this could mean for DAYS. I put together a quick reference guide to Ron's World. Chime in if you're a fan and have predictions of your own.
Ron is the type of storyteller to do umbrella storylines where different characters interact. This also means that there might not be a "lead" of the show. I'm okay with that. DAYS has become too silo-ed in its current storylines and that needs to change. (Ex: Has Maggie even seen Abigail since she's come back from the dead? Or is Mags too busy propping Deimos?)
Speaking of the dark side, Ron loves him an outrageous bad guy. So, getting his hands on DAYS sans Joe Mascolo is a sad thing. But we do still have Thaao Phenglis and Vincent Irrizary, who can slither with the best of 'em. It's my sincere hope Andre and Deimos will stop having to be redeemed in parts and finally grow into the villains they so richly deserve to be.
Ron loves to bring in his favorite actors. So, I strongly suggest he flip that Rolodex to "Kassie DePaiva." She should be easy to find since she's listed under "A" for "Amazing." I like my Salem with some Eve, please.
Ron can't seem to resist a crazy chick. So, in the grand scheme of the OLTL Jess/Tess mess, it will take approximately ten seconds for Abigail to get DID. Good money says her alter falls in love with Dario. Then again, maybe we'll learn that Hattie was really Marlena's alter all along! Hello, Mr. Roman!
Probably the most controversial is how little Ron cares about deaths. So, get ready for some back from the dead. I wonder who it Will be? I hope they don't Jack fans around. I won't bE. J.udgemental if he selects correctly. (I had to work for that last one. Sorry!)
Okay, so with all of that wishful thinking ahead, let's get caught up with where we are now. And for that, we talk all things Chloemeister.
First off, Chloe needs to give Nicole her baby. I loved Belle and Chloe getting scenes together, but I totally agree with Belle. Chloe has a weaksauce custody case, if any at all. And while Chloe's past is nowhere near as checkered as Nicole's, Chloe is no Girl Scout. There's a trip to Brazil that would indicate she doesn't always kill it in the parenting decisions department.
But everyone -- especially Nicole "I've lied about every baby I've ever had" Walker -- needs to slow their roll with wanting to string Chloe up by her toes from the ceiling fan. I don't agree with Chloe's actions. But I completely agree with her position. Nicole's been brainwashed by her cult leader boyfriend...sorry...cult-leader fiancé and is utterly incapable of thinking on her own. Chloe made a solid point that the reveal scene took place in a police station...where Nicole was in custody...awaiting attempted murder charges...because she literally cut a man. Normal, smart Nicole might have thought to notify any one of the dozens of security Deimos has, or, you know, just yell, "Hey, get away!" (Side note: What kind of flatware are they using in the Horton Town Square?!)
Also, you guys, at one time, Nicole made a living as an investigative reporter. She dug through the dark web to uncover Xander's secret past. Yet she needed Deimos around to put one and one together when her surrogate turned up pregnant with a mystery man's baby. I can't say Chloe's off base for worrying about Nicole's mental composition at the moment.
Of course, I'd much rather see Chloe throw her support behind Maggie or Melanie to get custody. Or maybe Brandon will make a visit to Salem! Either way, I'm rooting for anyone but Deimos. I got a total case of the creeps when he hissed, "I am going to be her father!" Seriously, can someone please drop a house on him?
As for Nicole, I'm going to give her a pass on all of the horrible things she said to Chloe at the police station because Nicole had just gotten the shock of her life. But I hope that in the not-so-distant future, Nicole will realize that Chloe gave Nicole everything she'd ever wanted. Nicole complaining that Chloe didn't let her talk to the baby in utero is like someone complaining that the million dollars they received is in $20s instead of $100s. Like Nicole said, "If she (Chloe) hadn't (tried in vitro a second time), Holly wouldn't be alive, and that's all that matters now!"
My thoughts exactly, Nicole. Now, dump the chump and start your fabulous new life with your kiddo! If you need an idea of how great second chances can be, check out Abigail!
Abigail is kinda killing it with her second chance at life. I loved Abigail admitting that she belongs to the DiMera family now. I liked the mini family meeting with Kate, Andre, Abigail, and Chad. I even liked Abigail's undercover mission because she's finally getting into someone else's mess for a change!
I hate to say it, but I enjoy Abigail much more when she's not around her mom and brother. Don't get me wrong, I like Jen and J.J. separately! But they enable too much bad behavior out of the others -- especially Abs -- when they're together. Without their interference (which, let's face it, can be very judgmental), Abigail and Gabi have come to one of the most pleasant and mature peace treaties I've ever seen on a soap. Maybe it's the endearing friendship chemistry between Camila Banus and Marci Miller, but there's something I like about Abigail and Gabi. They're genuinely decent to each other. Gabi bowed out gracefully. Abigail continues to lead with humility. It's all-around good stuff.
And color me shocked, but I found myself enjoying the microchip storyline this week! That's most likely because Eddie, Andre, and Deimos were all but absent from it, and the age-appropriate generation took over. I like Sonny, Chad, Dario, Abigail, Gabi (and even J.J. if you want to throw the police investigation in there) all interacting under this storyline.
Abigail's undercover assignment even entertained me! I like that Marci is getting a chance to play some comedy. She's not too bad at it, which could serve her well opposite Billy Flynn's Chad. A lighter side of Chabby? Yes, please!
Oh, and speaking of her undercover mission, Abigail joked that she might have a nervous breakdown while pretending to be Scarlett O'Southernbelle. Another mishandling of Abigail's mental health storyline? Probably. But I'm choosing to look at it as indisputable evidence that that botched mess of a storyline is thankfully behind us. Cheers to that!
LOOSE ENDS:
I get that everyone (me included) is excited about the Holly reveal. But how did Nicole make bail?! She put an unarmed man in a coma, and Chloe's the only one to voice concern that Nicole might be off the rails? Really, Brady/Maggie/Justin/Ghost Daniel?
Sorry, Ghost Dan, Nicole isn't going to do whatever it takes to get your little girl back. All she has to do is wise up and dump Deimos. But I don't see her doing that.
As grating as Claire's energy can be, she does have a solid point about Ciara undermining her a lot when it comes to Theo. I would be miffed, too, if someone repeatedly corrected me about my boyfriend, much less in front of an audience. And Ciara was waaaayyyy out of line for tattling to Claire's parents about Claire and Theo's relationship. She wasn't asking out of care for Claire. She wants Theo for herself. So, as annoying as Claire's attitude can be at times, she has every right to be on edge. Still, if she has to work this hard for a relationship, it isn't worth it. I'd vote for her to drop Theo, let him and Ciara bore each other to death, and move on to better things.
Since we know it can't be Stefano, which Phoenix did not-Celeste see in Kayla's future? Kristin? E.J.? Peter? The easy money is on Tony, since Thaao Phenglis is currently on the show. But Peter would make things interesting.
It makes perfect sense that Victor wants Holly with her biological parent. Remember how he told Philip to back off once DNA revealed Claire was Shawn's daughter? And who can forget how he instantly regretted giving Maggie's egg to Daniel's parents and made sure Maggie raised her son all his life?
I so appreciated Eric referring to Hope as "aunt" and saying "we Bradys." I like it almost as much as him yelling about not talking about Nicole. Keep protesting, EB! Yup, for sure, people always dwell on people they want nothing to do with.
Also, I could have sworn Eric was a priest at one point. But if he was, he'd a) know the power of this whole forgiveness thing, and b) be able to accurately identify saints. (Spoiler: Daniel actually isn't one. Just ask Lucas.)
Technically, Bradster, Nancy isn't the reason Deimos knows about the embryo. He knows because he kidnapped and drugged Philip. But you probably don't want unflattering info to get out about your new man-crush. So, carry on.
Um, I'll give a big yes to Lucas suggesting Anne become the office manager at the Spectator! I can't wait to see Anne working for Jennifer, with Lucas as the referee. As I've said before, anything that keeps Anne and Lucas in the same orbit is a-okay with me! This comedy duo is just the zest DAYS needs from time to time.
DAYS needs to fix its pacing right now. For the record, it was the same day in Salem from January 12 - 24. It took nine episodes (thirteen calendar days) to cover one day in Salem. No wonder some fans are claiming Chloe held onto the secret "for so long." Sands seem to be getting sucked back up that hourglass!
LINE OF THE WEEK
Steve (to Rafe): "Unlike you, this isn't my first ISA-related case."
I totally understand Rafe is worried about Hope. But he was getting a little too close to reverting back to Agent Jerkface. I'm glad Steve told the pup to simmer down.
I do love Claire's dress and necklace.
I feel like Andre and Gabi would actually have fun fashion conversations. I want to see this happen.
I'm with you on the martini, Belle. No shade from me!
I so hope they keep Kate and Adrienne friends after the cancer is over.
Carrie and Austin's son is either named "Noah" or "No one." I'm not even trying to make a joke.
I love that Kayla stood up for Anna. I love her even more for suggesting ice cream.
Wait, were Shawn and Belle really tip-toeing around unplanned pregnancy and not mentioning themselves? Seems like Jade and Joey wouldn't be the obvious example in the room there, Shelle.
Watching Carrie and Rafe talk reminds me of how much chemistry Rope lacks. I like Rafe and Hope as partners and friends. But I'm not into them as a romantic pair.
Deimos and Brady have moved to the stage of their relationship where Deimos commands, "Don't call and ask questions, just do it!" and Brady obliges. Cool. That's healthy.

Hey, Shane, any update on Theresa in Mexico?
I loved Marlena pulling out a queen chess piece from her bag! I love it even more that she traveled abroad with a prop just for that moment! Respect, Mar!
Hmm...are they rewriting history so that Chloe "stole" the embryo? Chloe specifically said that part of her surrogacy deal with Daniel and Nicole stipulated that she had the right to try again if she wanted.
If Gabi wants to expand her client base, I'll personally fund Eric's makeover.
The friendship chemistry between Arianne Zucker and Eric Martsolf is one of my favorite things on DAYS. I loved Brady being the one to tell Nicole the results of the DNA test, since he was with her when she lost her first baby. Way to bring these friends full circle!

She Lost RM29,000 To A New Zealander On WeChat; Turned Out To Be Selamat From Malaysia
This Article Originally Appeared On Vulcan Post.
When it comes to love, people aren't just blind to the truth; they can be blind to everything. One Pilates instructor was blind to even the nationality of the man, who claimed to hail from New Zealand but was actually a local man from Malaysia.
The Rakyat Post reported that the trusting woman, identified as Tan, fell in love with "Dany Williams" whom she met over WeChat in June. WeChat has a "Discover" function that allows strangers who are closeby to connect to each other. In addition, the Drift Bottle option allows users to connect with strangers from all over the world. A fun "Shake" function allows users to shake their phone and link to someone else who is also shaking their phone. There are multiple ways to meet someone new through WeChat, and perhaps this is what Tan did to connect her with "Dany Williams".

She is not the first person to fall victim to WeChat scams, however. The Ant Daily reported in "From WeChat To WeBed" on how users are using the popular messaging app to connect with people closeby for one night stands. Singapore Yahoo news reported in October 2014 about a man who was scammed out of $1,150 from a girl he chatted with on WeChat.
Warning signals failed to inform Tan of her misdirected trust and love even when the so-called "Dany Williams" asked her to bank money into an account owned by "Selamat Basri".
Image Credit: pinoybrunei.com
He convinced the 27-year-old that Selamat was his former staff and he had problems with his account. She continued funding his fake businesses and emergency monetary needs even to the extent of taking several bank loans. While he claimed to live in a bungalow in Bukit Antarabangsa, he never took her there. They saw the house from afar, but he refused to bring her into the house, telling her that his relatives did not appreciate visitors.
Eventually, "Dany Williams" was called back to New Zealand after his mother died of a heart attack. Not hearing from him since November 20th, the veil was eventually lifted and Tan saw him for who he really was. She lodged a police report on December 1st. The same report stated that it was only then that she realized her foreign boyfriend's name was in fact, "Selamat".
M'sian Got Duped By Online Scam, Waited For Fake Girlfriend In KLIA. Twice.
Image Credit: Daily Mail
Tan told a press conference at MCA Public Services and Complaints Department (PSCD) that it started with a smaller sum, around RM1,000, but the money has since piled up to RM29,000.
Contrary to his name, "Selamat",which means "safe" in Bahasa Malaysia, the man was everything but. He had thoroughly blindsided Tan with her infatuation towards him, convincing her that he is an "all around nice guy."
MCA PSCD head Datuk Seri Michael Chong commended her bravery for coming forward with her case, saying that in doing so, she will set an example for other women to be more cautious. Chong was quoted saying that in 2014, there have been 32 complaints about people getting conned via chat apps. "Eight cases even involved nude photographs of women taken," he added.
Image Credit: Healthy Relationship Blogspot
In November, we had an article about a case where a man was duped into waiting for his fake girlfriend in KLIA. Twice. We also shared that it doesn't always end badly though, since many relationships begin by meeting through online dating sites and taking a leap of faith.
Just remember to take love, especially love you find online, with a grain of salt. Look beyond the sweet chatter and see the man/woman for who they really are. And when they ask you to bank money into an account of a different name, always take it as a huge red flag.

So, I love to cook as much as I love to travel. And I'm completely addicted to cooking and baking shows and YouTube channels. The thing is, all these shows are made by a huge team, usually by professionals who take days to prepare the dishes or desserts. They try, if it does not work they do it again, if it turns out ugly, they do it again. And then they make it look like it's a walk in the park on a Spring Sunday Morning. Only, it's not!
Here's the original recipe. It's in Portuguese, FYI. This one is not very hard. But I made some mistakes and also some changes. First, I needed it to be Gluten Free (I'm allergic to Wheat), so I used a GF brownie mix for the base of the cake and also used Glutino cookies.
I also did not have a 21cm cake pan. Mine is 10in which is approximately 25.5cm. So I should have baked it for maybe 5 minutes less. The brownie was a bit overcooked in the edges.
The second note is the Whipping cream for the decoration. I think it was way too liquid. Maybe it was the brand I used or maybe I should have whipped a bit more.
Other than that it was a pretty easy recipe and it does not require lots of experience.
There is nothing much to it. It's an Oreo Cheesecake.
In a large bowl mix the eggs, milk and vegetable oil until well combined. Then add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix again.
In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Then sift it into the first bowl and whisk well until you have a silky batter.
Grease and flour a 21cm cake pan and transfer the mixture.
Add the water and the gelatine powder to a small container and let it bloom.
With a hand mixer (or a fouet if you are Wonder Woman) Pour heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl and whisk on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
Add the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Add 12 Oreo cookies cut in four parts and mix well.
Mix the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
Using a piping bag add the cream and then add the Oreo cookies!
This is the original recipe. I made some changes because I needed it to be Gluten free. So I used a Gluten Free brownie mix and Glutino cookies.

Biography and True Stories
Saint Francis By Robert West
In this Christian Encounter Series biography, author Robert West explores the life of Saint Francis, a man who lived entirely devoted to God.
Saint Francis Summary
Francis of Assisi has inspired the church for centuries. Francis took the gospel literally, following all that Jesus said and did without limit, and his devotion led to a life filled with miracles and wonders.
Born to a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, Italy, Francis didn't seem destined for the life of prayer and poverty that he chose. Bankrolled by his father, and with natural good looks and personality, Francis indulged in worldly pleasure. He had a ready wit, sang merrily, and delighted in fine clothes and showy display. Serious illness brought the young Francis to see the emptiness of his frolicking ways and led him to a life of prayer and unbridled devotion to Scripture. He gave over all his possessions to the poor and embraced a life of simplicity and poverty, transforming him from a self-centered youth to a man living for God and a model of complete obedience.
Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience.
About Robert West
Rob West doesn't just write about tree ships. He sometimes retreats to write in the flying ship he built in his own back yard--it's the only place he can escape his wife, three sons (and their cronies), two dogs, three cats, two doves . . . and, when she chooses to drop in out of the sky, a duck!

Mahebourg is a city located on the southeastern coast of the Mauritius Island. It is one of the main villages of the District of the Grand Port. The streets are well-planned and rather wide, making it clear that it was a Dutch as well as a French colony in the past. However, the city quickly declined in being a sleepy coastal one. Nevertheless, this was obviously in the past as right now it's a bustling trade center. There is a significant amount of small inns which are located in the city which is designated to cater to the foreign visitors.
Learn more about shipping vehicles to Mauritius.
If you've decided to relocate to Mauritius, bringing your vehicle with you is most definitely something you can benefit from. Even if you go ahead and add up all the shipping costs, it's definitely cheaper than having to buy a new vehicle. Luckily, there are quite a lot of ports in the US from which you can ship your vehicle to the island. Furthermore, there are reliable companies such as the A-1 Auto Transport which are going to help you out.
Choosing a shipping port in Mauritius is rather simplified because the main one is also the capital of the country – Port Louis. Of course, you can also choose other ports to ship if you want to.
The country subjects the vehicles to a duty based on the value of the car which is actually determined by the officials at the local revenue services. You are required to pay an exact 15% VAT and import tax which may range from 15% to 100% depending on the vehicle.
Clear the exterior and the interior to avoid quarantine periods.
You are going to be able to choose between container shipping and RO/RO. If you have a standard car and a limited budget, then Roll-On/Roll-Off works well. Your car will be driven on board the ship and secured in the designated parking bay. When your vehicle reaches Port Louis, it will be driven off the ship and into the Customs clearance bay. This is a more affordable option. However, if you have an expensive or a vintage vehicle that needs to be shipped, it is best to consider Container shipment. This is more expensive but you are allowed to ship your personal goods along with the car within the same container. This is safer and devoid of chances of damage as the container is sealed.
You may discuss your concerns with our shipping agents at A1 Auto Transport or contact the Embassy of Mauritius.

My apologies, I was in a hurry when I wrote that and should have been more explicit. Plasma torpedoes do not exist in the Classic Starfire history. Therefore the progression from plasma torpedo to plasma gun that is found in later editions, also does not exist in the Classic Starfire history.
And honestly, even if it did, energy torpedoes seem like something totally different.
aramis wrote: Sunds dangerously close to the TL 12 stuff from Nexus, really.
Don't forget that Classic Starfire subscribes to the idea that every couple of tech levels something new comes around to disrupt everything. Steve White and Charles Gannon have done a beautiful job of following the canon and priciples like that. Not just with technology, but in how it affected the entire known universe.
Weber and White apparently mapped out abit of the history and these ground-breaking technologies. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it does put on the pressure to keep inventing new stuff to keep it going!
Also Classic Starfire draws heavily on E.E. Doc Smith's Lensman series, where exactly this happens. It avoids scaling in the same way (for good reason!), but the disruptive techs idea is very much there.


Genre: Crime, Historical Fiction, Gangster.
I'm a Dennis Lehane junkie. Pure. Simple. True. So when I saw World Gone By (US link) at the library, I really couldn't help myself.
It can definitely be read as stand-alone, though there are spoilers for Live By Night (US link) in particular. To be honest, you'll get much more out of this book if you read Live By Night (US link) first - just for the character history if nothing else.
My sequel-reviewing rules apply here. No spoilerage for the series beyond what's in the book blurb here.
Tampa and Ybor City, Florida, the 1940s. Joe Coughlin is a gangster from back in the days of prohibition.
Joe knows how to get money made; and its mutually beneficial for all of his... associates. So no-one would want him dead... right?
Is his lifestyle - his years of sin - about to catch up with him?
Lehane, what are you doing to me? A gangster on the young side of 40, a bad boy with a dangerous past, who treats women right and is a loving and sensitive single father? I should not be in love with Joe right now, damn you! He's a gangster! He kills people!
But I totally am, and it's all your fault Lehane.
The writing sweeps you along - as is typical of Lehane books. There's something about his prose which is almost lyrical; and which I totally love.
As seems to be true for most of the books I read, this sure as hell ain't for the faint of heart. There's loads of swearing, violence, blood and guts.
There's also some racial slurs - including repeated use of the 'n' word. While that's in-keeping with a) the historical setting, and b) the fact that gangsters, as a rule, aren't particularly politically correct, it's still not OK.
This isn't a happy book. This is pretty grim. If you've read any books by Lehane before, you'll know what I mean - if not, well, just trust me.
I loved this book. A slick gangster novel that's firmly rooted in character and nuance rather than mindless shootings in every paragraph. This is subtle, absorbing, and quite simply excellent.

Charities 'can no longer fly under the radar': New state law cracks down on telemarketing
Charities and companies soliciting donations for them must register and pay fees in Mississippi. Charities previously were exempt.
Charities 'can no longer fly under the radar': New state law cracks down on telemarketing Charities and companies soliciting donations for them must register and pay fees in Mississippi. Charities previously were exempt. Check out this story on clarionledger.com: https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2019/06/12/charities-telemarketers-new-ms-law-requires-registration-fees/1420437001/
Bill Moak, Consumer Watch Published 4:00 a.m. CT June 12, 2019
A new state law which goes into effect July 1 could give some teeth to agencies looking to protect Mississippians from charity telemarketing solicitations. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, Public Service Commission Chair Brandon Presley and Southern District Public Service Commissioner Sam Britton held a news conference Monday to announce the new measures.
Mississippians are besieged with calls every day from robocallers, charity solicitors and scams such as the Jury Duty scheme, in which people get calls threatening them with prosecution if they don't pay a fine for not responding to a nonexistent jury duty summons.
"Mississippians are sick and tired of getting these calls and we're going to do everything we can to stop them," Presley said.
The new law, which amends the Telephone Solicitation Act, requires that charities and companies soliciting donations for them register and pay fees in a "tiered" system based on the size of the charity. The measures are among several changes to the law, which previously exempted charities from being covered by the law although they were required to register with the Secretary of State's office.
"They can no longer fly under the radar," noted Presley in referring to companies which operate dubious fundraising appeals and use the loophole to try to swindle money from generous Mississippians.
Hosemann was quick to point out that the changes aren't targeted at Mississippi's charities, but rather telemarketing firms hired to "cold-call" people to get them to donate for charities that might or might not be legitimate and make money by "throwing a wide net." Failing to register could result in a $10,000 fine from the PSC per violation.
"Our number one priority in our Charities Division is to ensure donated funds are received by those who need them the most, not scammers," he said. "This important partnership with the PSC is another stick we can use to carry out this important mission, and we are grateful to the PSC for taking the lead on it."
"This change in the law will protect consumers," Presley added. "There are folks out there who call or text and say they are with a charity and solicit donations, but they aren't and they're lining their own pockets. This change is one way we can keep scam artists from stealing money from our citizens. It's affecting everyone, but hitting our elderly on fixed incomes especially hard. That's a shame and a disgrace. We must do everything we can to protect the public from those who wish to do them harm."
He said complaints regarding professional fundraising calls top all other categories. "When we loop into those complaints," he noted, "it's almost consistently marketing firms being paid to take those calls. That's where 99 percent of our complaints come from."
"Mississippi is an incredibly gracious and charitable state," Britton said. "However, there are bad actors out there posing as legitimate organizations that intend on taking advantage of people willing to give. We look forward to working with the Secretary of State's Office to continue to combat this problem to further protect Mississippians from scam artists and to hold these criminals accountable."
Other changes to take effect July 1 include stronger penalties for Caller ID "spoofing" (which causes false information to appear on the recipient's Caller ID display), and provisions to allow businesses to register their numbers for the Do-Not-Call list.

La  légère de cavalerie ( DLC) est une division de cavalerie de l'armée de terre française qui a participé à la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Elle est créée en  pour participer à la manœuvre de retardement en Ardenne. Celle-ci se déroule du 10 au  sans ralentir suffisamment les Allemands. La division s'oppose ensuite à la percée de Sedan. Le , bien que fortement diminuée, elle gagne la Picardie pour participer à l'offensive contre la tête de pont d'Abbeville. Placée ensuite en réserve, elle reprend le combat après la percée de la ligne Weygand et se retrouve piégée et détruite dans la poche de Saint-Valery-en-Caux.

Création

En , le commandement français, suivant ce qu'il a décidé en , procède à la transformation des trois divisions de cavalerie (DC) en cinq divisions légères de cavalerie (DLC) pour réaliser une action de retardement en Ardenne. Ce changement n'apporte pas plus de puissance à l'ensemble mais plus souplesse. Ces nouvelles divisions comportent une brigade de cavalerie (BC) avec deux régiments hippomobiles (chasseur, cuirassier ou hussard) totalisant  et  antichars, une brigade légère motorisée (BLM) réunissant un régiment d'automitrailleuses et un régiment de dragons portés, un régiment d'artillerie tractée constitue l'artillerie divisionnaire. Ce régiment d'artillerie doit recevoir un groupe de 75 modèle 97 tracté tous terrains et un de   (12 pièces par groupe). Le régiment d'automitrailleuses est constitué d'un escadron d'automitrailleuses de découverte (douze AMD 178), d'un escadron d'automitrailleuses de combat (douze H35) et de deux escadrons motocyclistes. Le régiment de dragons portés comporte deux escadrons mixtes, chacun ayant deux pelotons d'automitrailleuses de reconnaissance et deux pelotons motocyclistes. Ces divisions légères de cavalerie doivent être engagées en Ardenne avec des groupes de reconnaissances de division d'infanterie (GRDI) et de corps d'armée (GRCA) pour retarder l'avance allemande dans cette région.

La  est ainsi créée sous le commandement du général Chanoine, sa brigade de cavalerie, la , provenant de la . La  est sous le commandement direct de la .

Mission sur la Meuse et en Ardenne
En mars, alors que les DLC se constituent, la mission qu'elles doivent accomplir est précisée par le haut commandement. Les premières instructions distinguent deux cas : soit l'attaque allemande contre la  est d'envergure et alors la cavalerie se porte sur la Semois, effectue des destructions et mène en retraite vers la Meuse (au sud) une action retardatrice, soit l'offensive est secondaire et alors la cavalerie pousse au-delà de la rivière pour y étendre son combat retardateur. La première manœuvre n'est rapidement plus envisagée au profit de la seconde. Il s'agit également de déterminer les forces de l'ennemi (nature et importance) et les directions de ses attaques

La  dont le poste de commandement est à Bazeilles est organisée en deux groupements (ouest et est) et doit effectuer son action retardatrice sur une zone délimitée à sa gauche par la ligne Alle – Paliseul – Houffalize et à sa droite par la ligne Chassepierre – Léglise (exclus) – Fauvillers (exclus), soit une progression maximale de . À sa gauche doit se trouver la cavalerie de la , d'abord la  de spahis () jusqu'à la Semois puis au-delà la . Pour y effectuer la liaison avec ces unités, la  dispose du  (de la  d'infanterie ()) auquel elle y apporte quelques éléments pour assurer sa découverte. Elle est également renforcée par le  et le  (respectivement de la  et du  corps d'armée ( CA)). À la droite de la  doit se trouver la  jusqu'à la Vierre puis la .

Pour les combats retardateurs, la  a prévu plusieurs lignes de défense :
Houffalize – Martelange (objectif 06)
Amberloup – Martelange (objectif 05)
rivière Ourthe (objectif 04, bretelle entre 03 et 05)
Bertogne – Bastogne – Martelange (objectif 03)
voie ferrée Poix-Saint-Hubert à Mellier incluant les nœuds de communications Neufchâteau, Recogne – Libramont (objectif 02)
rivière Semois (objectif 01)
ligne des maisons fortes (ligne initiale)

Pour sa mission, la division (comprenant les éléments qui la renforcent) organise deux groupements : ouest et est (ce dernier subdivisé en deux sous-groupements nord et sud). Sur chacun des itinéraires de progression (six en tout), les colonnes sont organisées avec les détachements de découvertes (DD) en tête, suivis des détachements de sûreté éloignée (DSE), puis les avant-gardes, les gros et enfin du deuxième échelon. Les objectifs 04, 05 et 06 étant éloignés, seuls a priori les DD et DSE doivent dépasser  la ligne 03.

Sur la Semois, deux bataillons d'infanterie prélevés sur les unités du  CA (devant lequel évolue la ) se placeront en recueil de la cavalerie (un bataillon derrière chaque groupement) : le I/ d'infanterie (de la ) et le III/ de zouaves (de la  d'infanterie nord-africaine).
