There once was a tiny alien, with a very big job...Alien was a star shiner.
Holly and Lara were both transported into magical sparkly space when I first read them this book; their eyes were wide open. Can you imagine having to shine all of the stars in the universe? Can you imagine if all of those stars suddenly stopped shining? Wow. The Night the Stars Went Out by Suz Hughes is the tale about the biggest problem that this tiny alien has ever had to solve. The girls couldn't believe it!
This delightful picture book follows poor little alien down to planet earth in search of special star shining varnish. Down on planet earth, the alien makes a new friend (star shining is a very lonely business normally) and discovers that there is more to life than shining stars. It really put a smile on my own face as we reached the end of the story and discovered that fun and friends, not special star shining varnish, were all that was needed to save the day!
This fun and friendly picture story book by Suz Hughes is published by Curious Fox and features bright, bold illustrations with lots of alien fun. We particularly loved the illustrations of the dark night sky with a rollercoaster path down to planet earth. Alien has very cool eyebrows and a very groovy moustache - it would be quite hard not to want to be friends with him!
I'd recommend The Night The Stars Went Out for children of about 2-7 years old - it makes a fabulous warming story just before bedtime.

United States v. Norris, 300 U.S. 564 (1937)
United States v. Norris
Argued March 11, 1937
FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
1. A Resolution of the Senate, reciting that the Senate desired facts to aid it in enacting remedial legislation and in deciding contests involving senatorial elections, authorized a committee to investigate the campaign expenditures of the various candidates for the United States Senate, the names of the persons subscribing, the amount contributed, the method of expenditure, and all facts in relation thereto, with power to call witnesses. A person who had attempted to file in a primary election of candidates for the office of United States Senator, but whose application had been rejected by the State Supreme Court as too late, was called before the committee, and, being sworn, testified that he had received no financial support, or assurance of it, for his campaign.
(1) That the inquiry was within the competency of Congress and the committee. P. 573.
(2) That, within the meaning of the perjury statute (Criminal Code, § 125) it was a case in which a law of the United States (2 U.S.C.191) authorized the oath to be administered. Id.
(3) That the testimony was material to the inquiry. Id.
2. A witness who commits willful perjury in violation of § 125 of the federal Criminal Code cannot purge himself of the offense by appearing at a later stage of the inquiry and recanting the false testimony. P. 300 U. S. 573.
86 F.2d 379 reversed.
Certiorari, post, p. 647, to review a judgment reversing a conviction for perjury in an inquiry by a committee of the Senate. chanrobles.com-red
MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court.
The record in this case presents an important question of federal criminal law which has not been settled by our decisions. Does retraction neutralize false testimony previously given and exculpate the witness of perjury? [Footnote 1]
April 10, 1930, the United States Senate, by resolution, empowered the Vice President to appoint a special committee to investigate campaign expenditures of candidates for the Senate, the committee to sit at such times and places as it should deem proper, to require attendance of witnesses and production of books and papers, and to act by any subcommittee. Failure to obey process of the committee or refusal to answer questions pertinent to the investigation was to be punished according to law. The chanrobles.com-red
resolution recited that the Senate desired facts to aid it in enacting remedial legislation and in deciding contests involving senatorial elections. [Footnote 2] The committee so appointed authorized Senator Nye, the Chairman, to act as a subcommittee and to name a subcommittee of one or more members. Such a subcommittee, consisting of Senators Nye and Dale, met September 22, 1930, at Lincoln, Nebraska. The Nebraska primary election had been held on August 12, 1930; the general election at which the names of senatorial candidates were to appear on the ballots was to be held the following November. Senator George W. Norris of McCook, Neb., had filed for the Republican primaries on January 1, 1930, and W. M. Stebbins had, on November 12, 1929, filed his acceptance of Republican nominating petitions in his behalf. The respondent had attempted to file for the same primaries on July 5, 1930, but the Supreme Court of the state had ruled on July 18th that his application was not filed within the time prescribed by law, and had ordered the Secretary of State to omit his name from the list of candidates for United States Senator to be certified to county clerks and election commissioners. [Footnote 3] In the light of these facts, the subcommittee summoned the respondent to testify on September 22, 1930. He was called and sworn to tell the truth and the whole truth. He narrated something of his personal history and said his original intention was to run for State Railway Commissioner, but he did not file for that office because he thought about filing for United States Senator. He gave the following testimony:
"Q. Now what assurance did you have of financial support and backing?"
"A. None whatever. "
"Q. In your campaign?"
"A. None whatever."
"* * * *"
"Q. Did you get any assurance from anybody that they would help you -- Republican, Democrat, independents, or anybody say they would help to finance your campaign?"
"A. No, sir."
"Q. Did you receive any money from anybody in the campaign?"
"A. I did not."
After the conclusion of his testimony, the subcommittee adjourned until the following day, when several witnesses were examined, amongst whom was one Johnson. The respondent was present, and heard Johnson testify. After consulting his counsel, he asked and was granted permission to return to the stand. He then admitted the receipt from Johnson of $50 to be used for his filing fee and a $500 government bond, and stated that he had cashed the bond through his brother at North Platte.
June 23, 1931, the grand jury for the District of Nebraska indicted the respondent for perjury under § 125 of the Criminal Code. [Footnote 4] On his trial, the government proved the facts as above outlined and called Johnson as a witness, who testified that, pursuant to a plan devised by himself and others, he had approached the respondent on June 30th and requested him not to file as a candidate chanrobles.com-red
for Railway Commissioner but to file for United States Senator telling him that, if he were willing to do this, the Republican Party would support him and $50 would at once be paid him for his filing fee and $500, the estimated amount of his campaign expenses, would also be paid to him. He swore that, on July 2d, he gave the respondent $50 and, on the next day, handed him a $500 bond.
The respondent took the witness stand and admitted that he "knew at the time of testifying [before the Senate Committee] that he had received $500 and $50, and what he was saying was not true."
In charging the jury, the judge stated that the respondent could not be convicted if he testified carelessly, negligently, or hastily, but the jury must find that his testimony was intentionally untrue, and that he did not believe it true when he gave it. And, respecting the retraction of his former testimony, the judge stated that the jury might consider the retraction along with the other evidence
"on the question of whether or not, considering what the defendant testified on the day prior and his act of testifying again the following day and what he said in his testimony, the defendant willfully -- that is, intentionally -- testified falsely in his testimony on the day before in the matters charged against him."
The respondent requested the following instructions:
"The Jury are instructed that, even if you find that the defendant in this case made false answers to the questions which were put to him at the hearing before the Senate Committee in question, and if you also find that, while this hearing was yet continuing and while the matter was yet pending before the Senate Committee, the defendant corrected any erroneous or false statements that were made, if any, then you will find the defendant not guilty."
"The Jury are instructed that, if you find the defendant, in the latter portion of his examination before the Senate
Committee, corrected statements that may have been incorrect or even intentionally false, made prior to the correction of the defendant, then you will find the defendant not guilty."
These were refused, and an exception granted. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, sentence was imposed, and the respondent appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals, which reversed the judgment, [Footnote 5] holding that the trial court erred in refusing to submit to the jury the question whether the respondent had fully and fairly retracted and corrected his original false statements. In the course of its opinion, the court stated the following would have been a proper charge and failure to give a charge of such tenor was reversible error:
"The jury are charged that the law encourages the correction of erroneous and even intentionally false statements made by a witness upon a trial or hearing, and so, if you shall find and believe from the evidence that defendant made false answers to the questions or any of them which were put to him at the hearing before the Senate Subcommittee (which questions are set out in the indictment and which questions the court has already in this charge called specifically to your attention), yet that defendant, while the hearing was continuing and unfinished, again took the witness stand, and then and there fully corrected all erroneous or false statements, if any, which had theretofore been made by him in answer to said questions, you should find the defendant not guilty."
The respondent insists that reversal of his conviction was right because (1) Congress exceeded its power in adopting Resolution No. 215, since it cannot legislate for the purpose of regulating primary elections; (2) perjury can only be committed if an oath be taken in a case wherein a law of the United States authorizes an oath chanrobles.com-red
to be administered, and the committee hearing was not such a case; (3) the false testimony concerned an immaterial matter, and (4) the whole of a witness' evidence must be taken together, and, if his testimony be ultimately true, his indictment for perjury cannot be predicated thereon.
Little need be said with respect to the first three positions. That it is within in constitutional province of Congress to institute investigations and to compel evidence with a view to possible exercise of its legislative function [Footnote 6] or possible discharge of its duty to determine the validity of the election of its members [Footnote 7] is settled. Rev.St. § 101 [Footnote 8] is a law of the United States authorizing any member of either house of Congress to administer oaths to witnesses in any matter pending in either house of Congress or any committee thereof. The materiality of the respondent's false answers is clear in view of the scope of the inquiry. The resolution authorized the committee
"to investigate the campaign expenditures of the various candidates for the United States Senate, the names of the persons . . . subscribing, the amount contributed, the method of expenditure, and all facts in relation thereto. . . ."
We come to the substantial question which moved us to grant the writ of certiorari. We hold the District Judge was right in refusing to charge as requested by the respondent, and the judgment should not have been reversed on account of his failure so to do. The respondent admitted he gave intentionally false testimony on September 22d. His recantation on the following day cannot alter this fact. He would have us hold that, so long as the cause or proceeding in which false testimony is given is not closed, there remains a locus poenitentiae of which chanrobles.com-red
he was entitled to and did avail himself. The implications and results of such a doctrine prove its unsoundness. Perjury is an obstruction of justice; its perpetration well may affect the dearest concerns of the parties before a tribunal. Deliberate material falsification under oath constitutes the crime of perjury, and the crime is complete when a witness' statement has once been made. It is argued that to allow retraction of perjured testimony promotes the discovery of the truth, and, if made before the proceeding is concluded, can do no harm to the parties. The argument overlooks the tendency of such a view to encourage false swearing in the belief that, if the falsity be not discovered before the end of the hearing, it will have its intended effect, but, if discovered, the witness may purge himself of crime by resuming his role as witness and substituting the truth for his previous falsehood. It ignores the fact that the oath administered to the witness calls on him freely to disclose the truth in the first instance, and not to put the court and the parties to the disadvantage, hinderance, and delay of ultimately extracting the truth by cross-examination, by extraneous investigation, or other collateral means.
Notwithstanding the fact that the testimony originally given and allowed then to stand as his final statement on the subject of inquiry falls clearly within the definition of § 125 of the Criminal Code, the respondent insists that the authorities, English and American, demonstrate that his retraction before the conclusion of the proceedings in which he testified absolve him and preclude a conviction. Perjury has been a common law crime since at least the Seventeenth Century. Quite generally, the conception embodied in the common law definition of perjury has been embodied in statutes. This is true of § 125. But it cannot be said that there is any respectable body of authority under the common law or statute in England or in the United States to support the respondent's position. On chanrobles.com-red
the contrary, the cases in which the courts have dealt directly and specifically with the question here for decision are surprisingly few. The respondent plants himself upon Roy v. Carr, 1 Siderfin, 418, 82 Eng.Rep. 1191, a case decided in 1669, which he claims established the doctrine for which he contends and has been followed both in England and in this country. A critical examination of the case arouses grave doubt that it held, or was intended to hold, that a retraction of a witness' false testimony negatives the commission of perjury, and in later cases, the English courts have so intimated, and have said that, if it stood for such a proposition, it probably would not be followed. [Footnote 9] Several later English decisions squint in the opposite direction, and some of them come near to refute the respondent's argument with respect to the English law. [Footnote 10]
Decisions of state courts of last resort in this country do not make a much better case for the argument. One state Supreme Court seems to have held directly in accordance with the contention in an appeal from a conviction of perjury. [Footnote 11] One lower court case is in accord. [Footnote 12] In one state court of last resort wherein the question arose in a slander suit where the defendant was alleged to have improperly charged a witness with having committed perjury in another proceeding, the court answered it favorably to respondent's claim. [Footnote 13] The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York has definitely held with the respondent upon the point in a case where the witness corrected his false testimony immediately, and told the truth chanrobles.com-red
although, in that case, the conviction was reversed on several grounds, any one of which would have been adequate for reversal. [Footnote 14] The Court of Appeals of New York has not spoken on the subject, and, in a later case, a lower court has refused to follow the decision mentioned where the contradictory statement was not part of the same examination at which the false statement was made. [Footnote 15]
While we should accord respectful consideration to decisions of the English and American courts supporting the respondent's view, the research of counsel and our own examination discloses that there is no substantial body of authority favoring it. As will appear by scrutiny of the cases cited in note 1 the lower federal courts have not dealt with the question often, and, while their expressions may not be entirely consonant, it may be said that they preponderate against the respondent's contention. We are free, therefore, to give such meaning and effect to § 125 of the Criminal Code as in justice we think ought to be attributed to it. The plain words of the statute and the public policy which called for its enactment alike demand we should hold that the telling of a deliberate lie by a witness completes the crime defined by the law. This is not to say that the correction of an innocent mistake, or the elaboration of an incomplete answer, may not demonstrate that there was no willful intent to swear falsely. We have here no such case.
The judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals must be reversed, and that of the District Court affirmed.

Q: why the input box is not disable while checking the check box? Hi I have the javascript fuction and where i am trying to disable the input box based on check box checked in jquery mobile.But its not working means the value itself it is not taking.Then how to achieve that?

A: Use prop to disable the checkbox:
$('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", false);

css is used to set the style of the matching selector.
Docs: https://api.jquery.com/prop

Set one or more properties for the set of matched elements.

EDIT
Some Optimizations:
$('[name="PD6"]').on('click', function () {
    if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $(this).val("Y").prop('disabled', false);
        $('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", false);
    } else {
        $(this).val("N");
        $('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", true);
    }
});

A: You can use prop() method to disable the input field, also it's better to use change() event instead of click()

$('[name="PD6"]').change(function() {
  if (this.checked) {
    $(this).val("Y");
    $('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", false);
  } else {
    $(this).val("N");
    $('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", true);
  }
}).change();

      <input name="PD6" id="PD6" type="checkbox" />
      Other Disability

      <input type="text" name="PD7" value="" />

A: *

*document.getElementById() wont work on name attribute

*Use .prop() instead of css() as css() is used for styling.

$('[name="PD6"]').click(function () {
    $('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", !this.checked);
    this.value = this.checked? "Y": "N";
});

$('[name="PD6"]').click(function () {
    $('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", !this.checked);
    $('[name="PD6"]').val(this.checked? "Y": "N");
});

            <input name="PD6" id="PD6" type="checkbox" />
            Other Disability

            <input type="text" name="PD7" value="" />

A: $('[name="PD7"]').css("disabled", "false");

This is not the right way to disable/enable input.
You need to use prop()
$('[name="PD7"]').prop("disabled", false);

A: Simple if...else logic in JS
WORKING:DEMO
JS
$("#PD6").click(function () {
    var status = document.getElementById("PD6").checked;
    if (status == true) {
        $("input[type=text]").prop('disabled', true);
    } else {
        $("input[type=text]").prop('disabled', false);
    }
});

Trübsee is an intermediate cable car station by the Titlis Bergbahnen, Trüebsee is an Alpine lake on the Ober Trüebsee Alpine pasture in the upper part of the extensive municipality of Wolfenschiessen in the Swiss canton of Nidwalden.This is a lake halfway up the cable car ride to Titlis from Engelberg. The view of the mountain from the lake is fantastic and the lake has self driven row boating and several trekking trails around the lake. Is peaceful. There were benches and a hammock around lake to sit and look at the lake and the mountains above. Has cows with traditional bells around their necks, grazing in the pasture below, but beware of the electrified fence. This is also the point where alternate cable car to the Mt. Titlis peak can be used other than the revolving cable car, we did not try this though.If you like sightseeing but not good at hiking, it's recommended walking around the lake then going back to cable car station.
Lake Grundlsee is set in the first-rate mountain landscape of the Toten Gebirge. A perfect region for a swim amongst nature. With an area of 5 km², Lake Grundlsee is the most magnificent lake in Styria. It is additionally recognized as the "Styrian Sea." The only nudist seaside in the Styrian Salzkammergut is close to Gasthof Murbodenhüttl.
There is an open air pool in Archangel. Two In Gössl, at the give up of the lake, there is a recreation vicinity with water slide and kid's play area. Shopping and refreshments are also accessible nearby. The seaside location goes around the lake and is 14km long. Apart from a couple of private beaches, it is all on hand free of charge!
Time to admire Iceland through the smells of its landscape and encounters with locals.
James Rushforth is a professional and skilled climber, mountaineer, and skilled action photographer. His book Rock Climbs and Via Ferrata – The Dolomites was cited as 'the best Dolomite guide ever produced' (SA Mountain Magazine). James conjointly worked as an expert artist and has won twelve international photography competitions and his work has been published in various magazines and papers such as National Geographic, and the Daily Telegraph. Awayn sat down with James to chat about action photography and many more.
What made you decide to turn your knowledge into a book?
I took up photography back in 2011 when I was unexpectedly asked to write a rock climbing guide to the Italian Dolomites following a number of online articles detailing my vertical adventures in the region. After a meeting with the Publisher Rockfax in Sheffield, I agreed to the project and set to work the following summer (and subsequent 4 summers). As I was assembling the guide I wanted to convey that not only was the Dolomites a climbers' paradise, it was also one of the most scenically stunning mountain ranges on the planet. To this end I bought a little Canon G12 (I recall shuddering at the thought of spending £380 on a camera, were photographers all mad!?) and so began my photography career.
The publications that followed - 'Photographing the Dolomites', Ski Touring & Snowshoeing in the Dolomites' and 'Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites' allowed me to combine my passion for all things adventure while offering a creative outlet for my photography. I've found the guidebooks instill an exceptional sense of purpose, not only providing a focus for my photography work but also acting as an excellent motivator when you've got to make another 1000m of ascent at 3am. Additionally it's genuinely rewarding to impart some knowledge to future readers, whether it be climbing, skiing or photography-related. Finally, although I'm not a material person it is undeniably satisfying to have something tangible to show for all your hard work.
When you're presented with a less than ideal situation, how do you find your subjects?
This is a common problem, both with commercial shoots, writing guidebooks and non-studio photography in general. There simply isn't enough time, nor is it financially feasible to always wait for the best light, conditions, perfect season and all the other potential variables which are out of your control. As I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I really struggled with this concept at first but ultimately you have to make the best of what you've got to work with. I think the key is learning to maximise your time at a location, taking quick advantage of any unexpected opportunities that might arise. Always attempt to head out, no matter the weather conditions - providing it's safe to do so. Some of the best images are captured when the rain suddenly clears, a rainbow appears or you get that single spectacular ray of light. Learning to be flexible and how to improvise can get you that one shot you need when combined with some quick thinking.
With regards subjects, there's no substitute for networking and building up a good partnership with as many people as possible. It always amazes (and delights) me how many people are willing to join you on a bit of an adventure - particularly if they get some nice images of themselves at the end of it. Finally, learn when and how to bend the rules a little; just remember to be honest with how you achieved it later. If you're doing a commercial shoot for a walking brochure the holiday company isn't going to quibble if you've pushed the curves a little in post-processing, making the weather look a bit more idyllic than it was on the day.
I've been lucky enough to explore a number of wonderful locations and choosing a favourite is an almost impossible task. The Italian Dolomites in particular (as you may have guessed from the guidebooks) will always hold a special place in my heart and while I have never been based there permanently, it still feels like home. Despite climbing, skiing and exploring the area through the day and night for over a decade, every time I go back I discover something new.
I'm currently writing a photo location guide to Iceland and I've had some fantastic experiences here, particularly when I've been able to get off the beaten track and explore the remote areas. The interior is especially beautiful and there are so many unexplored corners if you're willing to venture away from the main tourist trails. During the winter I had the pleasure of exploring several remote ice caves that really captured my imagination. As a climber and skier, I've always aimed to stay above the glacier but underneath the vast expanse of ice of the Vatnajokull there is a veritable alien world of bizarre colours and textures to be discovered. Following the glacier melt water channels some 100m below the ice was a unique and humbling experience that I'm very keen to repeat.
I've also had the misfortune of spending several cold nights on climbs and summits when we've got benighted, and had to be rescued by my girlfriend at the time from an embarrassing incident on the east face of Muro Occidentale del Pisciadù, involving a thunderstorm and a conspicuously absent rope. More recently, I slid backwards in my van down an icy mountain pass in Iceland, applying the handbrake intermittently to bring the wheels back into line as I veered towards another substantial drop with no barrier (many lessons learned).
What equipment's do you use ?
I've owned Canon, Sony and Nikon cameras and have never got involved in the 'brand wars' that so many photographers seem to get caught up in. They're all better than you need and there has never been a more exciting time for camera innovation.
I often shoot in some extremely adverse conditions so I tend to choose equipment that is suitably robust. By the end of a winter ice route it's not uncommon for the camera and lens to be completely covered in ice, especially when parts of the fall are still dripping but the ambient temperature is low. I've had to chip a little hole in the camera ice with my axe on several occasions so that the shutter can be fully depressed.
However, this durability often comes at the cost of weight and Sony in particular are making great inroads here. The new Sony A7RIII paired with a pancake lens looks particularly interesting for long technical climbs or ski descents when weight has to be kept to a minimum.
I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with UAV's (drones). I find them extremely useful in many aspects of guidebook writing but at the same time dislike the noise and general intrusiveness associated with having a camera up in the air. I'm also a little nostalgic (at the ripe old age of 32) of the days when you had to hike up the mountain opposite to get a good crag topo, or when you had to climb with an extra 20kg of rigging equipment so you could abseil back down to set up that perfect climbing composition.
Though it almost certainly sounds cliché, I think travelling with a camera in hand has really made me look harder at the world around me, noticing details I would probably have overlooked in the past. As a recent example I was out photographing a group of Kittiwakes nesting in East Iceland just last week. The vantage point was fairly accessible and a number of people came to have a look for a minute before continuing on their way. What they missed, just as I would have done some years ago, was all the wonderful details that you have to patiently observe; chicks in the nest that aren't visible until the mother moves, rivalry between the varying groups, adults returning with food to feed the young or with building material to shore up any damage and make repairs.
It is details like these that make you realise just how big the world is; you can't travel to a country and 'see it' in a week-long visit. Immersing yourself in the finer details and culture takes time and patience. Prior to photography I was pretty single mindedly devoted to climbing and skiing, whereas now I enjoy all the aspects of travelling and exploring somewhere new. This may be far away, or just around the corner from where you live.
The valley town of Lauterbrunnen (795 m) is the starting point for some of the best known excursion destinations in the Jungfrau region. A rack railway links Lauterbrunnen with the sunny terrace of Wengen on the eastern flank of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and the Kleinen Scheidegg, the station where you change trains for the onward journey to the Jungfraujoch.
On the opposite side of the valley is the holiday resort of Mürren, accessible from Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg. The cableway from Stechelberg continues to the peak of the Schilthorn at 2971 m, famous for being the setting where the 007 classic, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' was filmed.
A few kilometres further up the valley from Lauterbrunnen, accessible along a narrow mountain road, is the peaceful little mountain village of Isenfluh, perched on a steep rock terrace at 1024 m, and starting point for walks in the romantic Saustal and further to Mürren and the Lobhorn mountains.
This is a strange looking set of rocks formed by lava tubes. It was in the middle of nowhere. There is not massive of parking nearby, be careful when pulling out of the parking space. It does get very full with coaches. You need a car or a tour bus to get to these this interesting geological formation. But so worth the visit and the scenery on the way is stunning. Parking is on the side of the road, and it can be very windy up at the top so take it easy.

Canada, the second nation to legalize recreational marijuana after Uruguay, appears to have had a global impact as more nations come on board.

New Zealand plans a referendum on legalization during next year's election and Mexico also appears headed that way.
Luxembourg is poised to become the first European country to legalize recreational marijuana, and South Africa is moving in that direction. Israel's Parliament approved a law allowing exports of medical marijuana. Thailand legalized medicinal use of marijuana, and other Southeastern Asian countries may follow South Korea's lead in legalizing cannabidiol, or CBD.
Cannabis can be grown outdoors for pennies on the dollar. So why is hardly anyone doing it?

The Internet of Things has arrived and all of those "things" are getting connected, especially in the home. Convergence is happening and security companies are expanding their offerings with home entry via keyless locks and energy management. These new offerings revenues and grow profits. By adding monitoring of "things" and remote access through mobile devices for status and control, monthly recurring revenue increases, again boosting ongoing revenues and profits. Be aware, there's another category to consider offering and that's lighting control of natural and artificial light.
One of the biggest market opportunities in 2014 is lighting control. Reliable, affordable and easy-to-install products are now available. Not much is needed to delight your customers: provide control, both automatic and manual of a few key lighting loads with proven products and you'll be their hero. Consider lighting the walkway up to the house, the entry/foyer area, a few lights to give the "lived-in" look, and landscape lighting to accent the home. With quick installation of plug-in modules and control of these lights, you've improved safety in and outside the home, deterred burglars who now think someone is home and enhanced the home's appearance. It's time to learn about the many options for artificial lighting control, from easy-to-install plug-in modules, to replacing light switches and low-voltage wiring.
Often overlooked, motorized window treatments can be a great option to add to your portfolio of control offerings. These motorized items can accent a room, provide protection from the sun, keep inquiring eyes away and deliver darkness or daylight at the touch of a button. Interacting with the builder, interior designer and sometimes the electrician, strong working relationships and complementary business partnerships often emerge. Set a goal to learn about the different types of window treatments and control, from easy-to-install battery powered units to custom curved drapery rods. There are many numerous types of applications for the home and office and now is the time to offer the new opportunities in artificial and natural lighting control. Get out there and share the benefits, partner with other trades, make the design process easy and fun, and most important, provide a delightful customer experience.
Controlling lighting and motorized window treatments not only creates a more comfortable life, but it also saves energy and lowers utility bills!

State of Confusion gave the Kinks their biggest single in nearly 20 years, but they didn't try to replicate the music hall-tinged pop of "Come Dancing" on its follow-up, Word of Mouth, preferring to concentrate on straight-ahead hard rock. Most of the material was well crafted, but only a few songs were distinctive, particularly the circular, synth-spiked minor hit "Do It Again." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Kinks – Sleepwalker (1977/2015)
Arista had made it clear they would not accept any concept albums from the Kinks, and Sleepwalker, their first effort for the label, makes good on the band's promise. Comprised entirely of glossy arena rockers and power ballads, the album is more of a stylistic exercise than a collection of first-rate songs. Ray Davies contributed a handful of fairly strong songs, highlighted by the exceptional "Juke Box Music," which sees him in a shockingly resigned frame of mind, claiming that rock & roll is just rock & roll, and nothing more. Unfortunately, he chose to illustrate that fact by loading the rest of Sleepwalker with competent but undistinguished mainstream rock. While that might have made the album a hit at the time, its processed sound and weak songs sound dated today, especially compared to the lively arena rock the Kinks later released. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Kinks – Celluloid Heroes (1975/2017)
Released in 1976, just as the Kinks ended their notoriously uneven tenure at RCA, The Kinks' Greatest: Celluloid Heroes is a summary of their time at the label. Since they didn't have many genuine hits while at RCA, this winds up being a haphazard sampling of concept albums. Occasionally, an album is accurately represented. For instance, the selections from Muswell Hillbilles are perfect, but considering that nearly half this compilation leans on that terrific record, they would have to be. Apart from that album, the selection is decidedly hit and miss. It isn't that singles are missing – their lone British hit from this time, "Supersonic Rocket Ship," is nowhere to be found – or that albums are overlooked (no Schoolboys in Disgrace), it's that highlights like "Here Comes Yet Another Day" and "Sweet Lady Genevieve" are left on their original albums. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Although they weren't as boldly innovative as the Beatles or as popular as the Rolling Stones or the Who, the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion. Like most bands of their era, the Kinks began as an R&B/blues outfit. Within four years, the band had become the most staunchly English of all their contemporaries, drawing heavily from British music hall and traditional pop, as well as incorporating elements of country, folk, and blues.

BMG will be releasing a definitive version of the album many consider to be The Kinks' singular masterpiece, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, which celebrates its 50th anniversary.
The new version of the album, which will be made available in a variety of formats, features a gorgeous, previously unreleased track entitled "Time Song" that was mixed earlier this year by Ray Davies himself. Though it was never included on an official release, The Kinks did perform the song during their January 1973 concert at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in celebration of Great Britain's acceptance into the Common Market.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Sanctuary Records
The Kinks came into their own as album artists and Ray Davies fully matured as a songwriter with The Kink Kontroversy, which bridged their raw early British Invasion sound with more sophisticated lyrics and thoughtful production. There are still powerful ravers like the hit "Til the End of the Day" (utilizing yet another "You Really Got Me"-type riff) and the abrasive, Dave Davies-sung cover of "Milk Cow Blues," but tracks like the calypso pastiche "I'm on an Island," where Ray sings of isolation with a forlorn yet merry bite, were far more indicative of their future direction. Other great songs on this underrated album include the uneasy nostalgia of "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?," the plaintive, almost fatalistic ballads "Ring the Bells" and "The World Keeps Going Round," and the Dave Davies-sung declaration of independence "I Am Free."

The Kinks – Percy (1971/2018) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]
The Kinks – Percy (1971/2018)
Ray Davies and company had already participated in one failed television musical when the movie Percy came along it wasn't as original as Arthur, nor did Davies have nearly as much to do with its creation, but he still outdid himself given the material at hand. Directed and co-produced by Ralph Thomas, who had been responsible for some brilliant thrillers (The Clouded Yellow, Above Us the Waves) and very popular comedies (Doctor in the House) in past decades, Percy was the story of the world's first penis transplant (it was probably inspired, or at least justified, by big-budget efforts of the period like Myra Breckinridge). Although virtually unseen in the United States, it was still popular enough to yield a sequel (Percy's Progress), but its real impact came from its soundtrack. Davies wrote some hauntingly beautiful ballads and some solid blues and country as well "God's Children" and "Animals in the Zoo" have turned up on some career anthologies, but there's a lot more to Percy than those two tracks. "Completely" is as fine a slow blues as the band ever recorded, with a sizzling performance by Dave Davies, and "Dreams" is a pretty solid rocker, even up alongside "Animals in the Zoo." To this day the album has never appeared in the U.S. catalog recorded at the tail end of their contract with Pye Records in England and Warner/Reprise in America, and connected with a movie that was never going to see much exposure in the U.S.A., Reprise passed on it at the time.

The Kinks – Kinks (1964/2018)
Although the best of the Kinks' early work is among the best British Invasion music, their initial pair of albums was far less consistent than those of the Beatles, Stones, and Who. Aside from the great "You Really Got Me," this was a shabby, disappointing set with surprisingly thin production. As R&B cover artists, the Kinks weren't nearly as adept as the Stones and Yardbirds; Ray Davies' original tunes were, "You Really Got Me" aside, perfunctory Merseybeat-ish pastiches, and a couple of tunes that producer Shel Talmy penned for the group ("Bald Headed Woman," "I've Been Driving on Bald Mountain") were simply abominable. The rave-up treatments of the R&B standards "Got Love If You Want It" and "Cadillac" were good, and the simple "Stop Your Sobbing" would eventually be covered by the Pretenders, but overall this is really patchy.

The Kinks – Kinda Kinks (1965/2018) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]
The Kinks – Kinda Kinks (1965/2018)
The Kinks' second album, Kinda Kinks, was rush-recorded on either side (and in the midst) of a world tour that took them all the way to Australia in the course of bridging the 1964-1965 New Year. Under those circumstances, the fact that every cut but one was an original was no small tribute to the songwriting ability of Ray Davies, even if most of the songs were less than first-rate because what was first-rate was also highly memorable, and what wasn't also wasn't bad. In the space of two frantic late-December and mid-January sessions, and a brutal week in February of 1965, the group cut 11 songs to fill out a long-player that was already destined to contain "Tired of Waiting for You" (a product of the previous summer's work, held back by producer Shel Talmy for a single). Also along for the ride were the latter's driving B-side "Come on Now" and "Something Better Beginning" (both cut in December 1964). So the resulting record was uneven but filled with promise, and possessed of at least three bright spots additionally, and equally important, this album showcased a much more sophisticated sound, Dave Davies' guitar turned down (and even switched to acoustic in a couple of spots) as Ray Davies began exploring aspects of emotions and storytelling that transcended anything in the group's prior output "Nothin' in This World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl" may have been a mouthful of a title, but it also put them right in the front of the British Invasion pack for seriousness and complexity, out in front of where the Beatles or almost any of the competition were in early 1965, but it didn't stop them from switching gears to the bluesy "Naggin' Woman."

This World – Across the Continent in 22 Days
Christina M. Frey
Part I: Anchorage, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon Territories
This is the first instalment in a series chronicling the adventures of the author; her husband, Adam; and two-year-old daughter, Kiersten, as they travelled by car from Alaska to Louisiana in summer 2008.
Normal people have normal summer vacations. They go to the beach for the weekend. They camp in the mountains for a week. They kick back on the patio and relax.
Normal people definitely do not spend three weeks driving across the continent from Alaska to Louisiana.
they're missing a lot.
Two years ago, when my husband and I drove from Florida to Alaska?five-week-old daughter in tow?friends and relatives thought we were crazy. And in retrospect, we probably were.
But without question, crazy enough to do it again?without blinking an eye.
That's why we found ourselves on the road again this past July. We knew that few things could compare with the chance to experience the vast and varied landscapes of North America, from the high north to the Deep South. And we knew that no headache, argument, tantrum, or $70 gas receipt could make us regret our adventure driving from almost one end of the continent to the other.
Day 1: Anchorage, AK to Tok, AK
It's the first day on the road, and despite a resolve to leave at the break of day, we head out close to lunchtime. We've settled on travelling approximately 300 miles a day?which translates as six or seven hours?although in more remote parts we'll have to adjust that figure. In many northern areas, there's little in the way of amenities and hotels (or even humans) for hundreds of miles, so our itinerary is largely limited by where the towns are located.
Although we're still in the land of the midnight sun?or maybe more like 11 p.m. sun at this point?and could travel safely later, we're somewhat bound by Kiersten's schedule. Her good humour gives out by suppertime (earlier if she doesn't nap), so we hope to reach each day's destination by five in the afternoon.
we're using the Milepost, a mile-by-mile itinerary of the Alaska Highway and most of the other major routes in Alaska and northwestern Canada. Aside from its usefulness for planning our rest stops, we're especially enjoying the historical, geographical, and cultural tidbits about the places we're passing through. It's helping us connect with the area in a way we couldn't have experienced without it.
A few hours into the drive, I'm noticing one major difference between this trip and our 2006 drive: the traffic, or rather the surprising lack of it. Two years ago there were long lines of RVs, but now we're the only car on the highway for large stretches. We suspect that skyrocketing fuel prices have turned people off road trips this summer. It's further confirmation that this drive may have been a crazy idea!
There also doesn't seem to be much wildlife out and about. That can't be explained by the rising cost at the pump, so we're a bit mystified. we'll be driving through a lot of remote areas, so we're hoping to get some good wildlife sightings in. In particular, we want to see a bear. Despite constant warnings about bear safety, we didn't even see a bear paw print during our two years in Alaska. we're determined to see one during this trip, no matter what.
For a freedom-loving two-year-old suddenly strapped in a car seat for six to eight hours a day, Kiersten's doing well, but She's almost entirely dependent on us for amusement. Constantly entertaining her with books, puppets, games, songs, and other clown tricks is exhausting me?not to mention giving me a permanent crick in my neck from twisting around. At this point, three weeks on the road is looking interminable. we're glad we bought her some CDs of kiddie songs; as annoying as they are in themselves (how many times have we heard ?Old MacDonald??), they're giving us some relief.
Although we all started out in good spirits, our sense of adventure wanes as the afternoon wears on. Kiersten, overexcited by the novelty of travel, has skipped her nap and is grouchy and bored. Nothing seems to cheer her up. After almost 30 long minutes of singing, reading, explaining, playing, and even putting ?Old MacDonald? on repeat, she eventually falls asleep, but not after enough screaming that we're almost regretting this trip already.
That evening we arrive in Tok, Alaska, an important junction town: It's here that travellers coming to Alaska can turn south toward Anchorage or west to Fairbanks. Travelling in the direction of Canada, there are two routes: the famous Alaska Highway southeast toward Whitehorse, or the Taylor Highway/Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, Yukon Territories. Although we'll link up with the Alaska Highway in Whitehorse later, we've decided to take the northerly route from Tok so that we'll have the chance to visit Dawson City. It will put us a day out of our way, but we'd hate to miss the opportunity when we're so close.
Day 2: Tok, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon Territories
The next morning, we leave late (again), but half an hour earlier than yesterday, so we're doing better. I'm behind the wheel, supposedly to give Adam a break from driving, but secretly to give myself a break from being court jester to the Princess in the back seat. There's still almost no traffic, although we manage to get delayed by construction for a while. The detour is so winding that for a few miles we're not sure whether we're being rerouted to some dead end by a practical joker.
Most of the landscape we pass through this morning is dead forest?acres upon acres of blackened trees, as far as the eye can see. A 2004 forest fire here destroyed millions of acres, and regrowth, if any, seems slow. It seems to have scared off the animals too, as we don't even see so much as a chipmunk, let alone a bear.
Around lunchtime we arrive in the tiny settlement of Chicken. Legend claims it was supposed to be called Ptarmigan, but was named after a more common bird because the settlers couldn't agree on the spelling.
Chicken's a very small community, with a population of 21 in the summer?and only six people remain there year-round. It's remote, much more so than most of the places we'll pass through this trip; there are no telephones and no flush toilets in town, although surprisingly, they do have Internet. Before the Internet, business owners had to give their order lists to bus drivers and trust they'd fax them in when they reached a town. And regardless of the method, those staying the winter need to order their winter supplies well in advance, because once the snow hits, Chicken's cut off from the rest of the world. It's a different life, but the community seems like a family; out in the wilderness, you pretty much have to be able to rely on one another.
Chicken's notable for something else, at least for those driving the Taylor Highway toward Dawson City: It's approximately where the pavement ends. As we drive along the mud-gravel-dirt mix and bounce through ruts, I keep thinking that I'm not on a road at all, but rather driving toward the barn behind some farm back in Ontario. We can only move at 30 mph without permanently damaging our protesting car, and we realize just why MapQuest recommended seven hours for a 180-mile trip.
Just past Chicken is the turnoff for Eagle, Alaska. It's a remote settlement along the Yukon River, and It's also home to Yukon-Charley Rivers National Park. The US National Park Service has a ?passport? program for collecting stamps and stickers from national parks and historic sites, and we've become obsessed with filling our book. Eagle is only 100 miles from the highway we're on, and we'd been desperately clinging to the hope of making a side trip for that stamp?but when we realize that the road conditions are even worse, we regretfully decide to skip it and press on to Dawson City. One hundred miles isn't far, except when it takes four hours to go one way.
Late in the afternoon, we cross into Canada again! But it doesn't really feel like home, since It's such remote wilderness out here. we're now on the Top of the World Highway, which I think should be called the Top of the Mountain highway; we're level with or above the rain clouds and can see steep valleys below us. Although the downpour we drive through makes the road a little slippery, It's doing wonders to clean off the mud we picked up driving from Chicken.
Eventually, the road twists and turns downwards and we need to slam on the brakes; we're suddenly at the Yukon River, which lies between the highway we're driving and Dawson City.
There's a free ferry that operates during the summer to bring residents and visitors back and forth between Dawson City and West Dawson on the opposite bank. During the northern winters, the Yukon freezes solidly enough for traffic to cross freely. However, during breakup and thaw in late spring, the river can't be crossed safely by any means, and the residents of West Dawson are cut off from the town until the water's clear enough for the ferry to operate.
we're curious as to why there's no bridge across the river; later, we learn that they've been trying to put one in for years, but conflicting property interests and concerns about damaging historic sites keep stalling the project.
That night, we stay in a cute bed and breakfast downtown. we're excited for tomorrow: no early morning driving, just sightseeing for most of the day. We can't wait to explore the ?Paris of the North?!

1 483 contributeurs ont engagé 71 708 £ pour soutenir ce projet.
You are a dark elf. The touch of the sun burns your grey skin, and you hide from the light in twisting corridors, crumbling temples and the lawless undercity of the metropolis known as Spire. The high elves, rulers of the city, alien and capricious, allow you to live here as an underclass forced to beg for scraps.
Your religion, your culture, and your people are being destroyed all around you. You have seen your fathers, your mothers, your grandparents subjugated by the high elves, and you have had enough. You have joined the resistance: the ministry of Our Hidden Mistress, worshippers of a forbidden goddess.
You have sworn in blood that the high elves will fall, that you will destroy them through subterfuge, and insurrection, and terror.
£27,000 - FUNDED! Secrets Kept From the Sun. A tome of elven opsec and spy-versus-spy skullduggery in the Spire, written by Chad Walker, author of Cryptomancer. This PDF will explore how the Ministry communicates secretly under the hateful gaze of the Solar Guard and maintains a resistance community resilient against their enemies' infiltration and decapitation strategies.
£30,000 - FUNDED! More art. We'll pay Adrian to create more art for the book, which we think we can all agree is a Good Thing.
£33,000 - FUNDED! Grim tidings. Something dark writhes at the heart of the Spire and Jordan Shiveley of Dread Singles will bring it slithering onto the pages of a splatbook, downloadable as a PDF.
£40,000 - FUNDED! Echoes of the Spire. We'll commission Tim Roven of Tabletop Audio to compose and perform seven loopable 10-minute tracks specially designed to reflect different parts of Spire, suitable for playing during your games.
£45,000 - FUNDED! Defenders of the unborn. We'll detail the arachnid midwives, protectors of drow genealogy who can channel their ancestry and transform into terrifying spider-creatures, and release the class as a PDF.
£50,000 - FUNDED! Breaking new ground. We'll hold a community vote to decide on an additional district and give it a full write up as a downloadable PDF.

£75,000 - The Pocket Guide to the Vermissian. An illustrated PDF featuring in-character pitches describing the old grandeur of the mass transit network - and also full descriptions, rules and NPCs that reflect the fact that it is a thrice-cursed, collapsing mess that's slightly out-of-sync with reality. Contains full details on all of the many stations that exist and some that don't.
Spire is a new stand-alone roleplaying game from the designers of Unbound and Goblin Quest. It's like D&D crossed with Unknown Armies, or Gormenghast crossed with Necromunda: a city-bound fantasy horror game of terrible decisions, hard choices, and deeply personal loss.
Spire is a city of a thousand gods: Our Glorious Lady, the light of the moon, beloved of the drow (and her sisters, the dark side of the moon and the eclipse, whose worship is banned by the high elves); the Solar Pantheon, great and terrible, who dominate the city from glittering cathedrals; the ravenous Hungry Deep that slumbers beneath the city; the laughing carrion god Charnel, whose hyenas prowl the bloody streets of New Heaven. Worship of these gods can grant miracles to the faithful - player characters included.
It is a place of industry and profit: human retro-engineers arrive with armfuls of arcane technology dug up from forgotten dungeons of a lost civilisation, then hotwire them into life and sell cheap copies down in the lawless undercity. There are acres of underground lakes brimming with algae; dark farms where the dead hang from spidersilk, their bodies dotted with fungi; and the vast, cursed, never-completed Vermissian, a failed attempt at a subterranean travel network.
It is a place of horror, too: bloodwitches return from the Heart, the rotten hole in reality that is the centre of Spire, carrying mystical blood diseases that rewrite men's minds; spider-skinned midwives sprout additional chitinous limbs to defend unborn drow; magic masks are sutured to unwilling faces; hearts are plucked out and stored in jars, so that the owner might have eternal, strange life at the hands of the Morticians.
The book contains: rules for creating, advancing and playing a character; reams of setting information loaded with hooks and plots for your campaigns; advice on how to run a game of Spire (whether you're a first-time gamesmaster or a seasoned storyteller); loads of evocative art from Adiran Stone; and a smaller variant of the full, A2 map of the city. It's a beautiful book, too - we wanted to create the nicest possible thing to house our ideas.
What's more, if you back us at a level that allows access to additional content past the core book, you'll be able to immediately download our quickstart adventure, Blood and Dust. Blood and Dust comes with all the basic rules, five sample characters (with some room to advance) and an adventure that should last around three individual sessions of play.
Having run two previous Kickstarters, we've learned that shipping costs are almost always higher than you initially expect. In the past, we've gone with cheaper shipping options only to run into issues with delays and damaged products, so this time we've tried to find an option somewhere between hand-delivering every book ourselves, and throwing them out of a plane and hoping. We're using Mail Workshop in Nottingham for fulfilment, and they will be shipping out international packages using Airmail, in die-cut boxes with bubble wrap to minimise potential damage. We're making no profit on shipping, just covering our costs - and it means we can guarantee that shipping and fulfilment won't cause issues with the finances or with the delivery of the final products.
Spire uses a straightforward D10-based system to resolve conflicts. It focuses on storytelling over simulation: the more skilled and knowledgeable the character is about the action and the location it takes place in, the more D10s they roll, and pick the highest. Generally, rolling higher is better, but most of the time - succeed or fail - characters will accrue stress as part of the action.
The more stress a character has, the more chance that it will hurt them in the form of fallout - serious repercussions that they've earned for pushing their luck too far. (Or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.) Spire doesn't weigh physical, mental or emotional damage differently - they're all treated the same, and they're all at stake when you work for the resistance.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GAMES?
Spire offers players a chance to take part in a fantasy revolution, and to fight back against those who oppress you. Unlike many games, the monsters aren't out in the wilderness; they're living above you in obscene luxury, dominating your people in the aftermath of a brutal war. Spire tasks players with changing the city, whether for good or ill, and that's how they gain experience and new abilities.
Spire has a unique setting, and the rules have been written from scratch to embody the fiction at all times. You don't just play a Ranger: you play a Carrion-Priest, a hyena-worshipping death cultist. You're not a Rogue: you're a Bound, and you pray to the small gods in your ropes to stop you from falling off the side of the city. You don't just play a Fighter: you play a Knight of the North Docks, a member of a long-fallen order of nobles who once upon a time defended the honour of traders and travellers, but who now swagger about in flashy quarter-plate and operate an alarmingly wide variety of bars.
We've taken the common tropes of D&D (and other fantasy mainstays) and adjusted them to mesh with our own world, so while there's plenty that'll seem familiar to any seasoned roleplayer, there'll be something in there to surprise everyone, too.
We are Mary Hamilton, Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor, and our business name is Rowan, Rook & Decard. This is the third Kickstarter that we've organised, and both previous projects - Goblin Quest and Unbound - funded well-over budget, and we delivered our products to people both online and in physical forms.
Grant's solo work includes Honey Heist, The Witch is Dead, Royal Blood, One Last Job, Warrior-Poet and a wide variety of short-form, story-focused RPGs. He was also in the team that co-wrote the latest edition of Paranoia. Spire is his first opportunity to be part of a team writing a full original setting and the system to support it, and he's excited to share the results with you.
We're working with seasoned professionals who we know well. Adirian Stone is creating the art, Alina Sandu is handling the layout, and Harry Goldstone is doing proofreading. They all did a fantastic job on Unbound and we're happy to work with them again.
We've also teamed up with Tim Wilkinson Lewis, illustrator on Goblin Quest, to create an A2-scale map of Spire itself; every centimetre of the paper is crammed with detail and hooks for your stories.
We understand that the content of Spire mirrors real-world political, social and racial struggles, so we'll ensure that the manuscript is checked by several sensitivity readers.
We've decided to commission a UK-based printer and fulfil from a single location this time. Our experience with Unbound showed us that distributed printing, while cheaper, comes with risks, and we want Spire to be the most beautiful book on your shelf. We're hoping to print with CPI, who have lots of experience with short run projects like this and are the printers working on Cthulhu Dark; if the game sells really well and we need a longer print run, we've lined up Belmont, who print books for Games Workshop.
The rules of Spire already exist, and we know that they work. We've written, rewritten, tested, re-tested and designed a game we're genuinely proud of and that we think is beautiful. You're paying to make that game into a physical product that's as beautiful, dark and interesting as the rules and the world it contains.
Primarily, you're paying for the cost of art and layout, which we like to pay fairly for. You're also letting us access the economies of scale available when we order larger print runs of books. Finally, you're paying for Chris and Grant, the writers of Spire, to earn significantly less than part-time UK minimum wage, but still some money, for their work, and Mary, the producer, to take a small cut too.
As ever, unforeseen events can slow down or impede the progress of the game, but we've done our best to leave room in our plan for them. This will be our third project on Kickstarter, and Mary has steered us successfully through bringing the previous two to fruition.
Throughout Unbound, our previous Kickstarter, we worked hard to be transparent with our supporters and communicate with them to outline the ongoing status of the project, and we don't want to work any other way. We'll be updating you with news as and when we get it so you can stay abreast of what's going on with your book.
We're also running a Discord channel for backers who pick a deluxe package, so that you can talk among yourselves and also get access to sneak peeks, updates and new info as we go along. The rules and setting information sections - the bulk of the book - is entirely complete, and we're just putting the finishing touches to the GM section as the campaign runs. Just under half of the art is complete.
You'll get a downloadable PDF of Spire.
You'll get a downloadable PDF of Spire. You also receive: immediate access to the Quick-Start adventure and the Spire discord channel, a high-res image of the complete map of Spire, Directors' Commentary audio files from Grant and Chris and PDFs of every unlocked stretch goal.
You'll get a beautiful, full-colour hardback physical copy of Spire, as well as a downloadable PDF.

You also receive: immediate access to the Quick-Start adventure and the Spire discord channel, a high-res image of the complete map of Spire, Directors' Commentary audio files from Grant and Chris and PDFs of every unlocked stretch goal.
You'll get a beautiful, limited-edition print of Spire complete with a slip cover and a foil-printed cover. You'll also receive an A2 map of Spire and a selection of newspaper clippings from the city's publications loaded with plot hooks.
And, of course: a PDF of Spire, immediate access to the Quick-Start adventure and the Spire discord channel, a high-res version of the complete map of Spire, Directors' Commentary audio files from Grant and Chris and PDFs of every unlocked stretch goal.
- You will be immortalised in the game as a hapless rube for the player characters to take advantage of, complete with a brief backstory and a suitably changed-up Spire name. We'll work with you to make the NPC as gullible as possible (subject to final approval by the creators).
- You will be immortalised as a bar owner somewhere in Spire: the feudal North Docks, the smoky firepits of Red Row, the gaudy streets of the Silver Quarter, and more. We'll help you name your bar, fill it with regulars, and outfit it with a hook or two to lure the players in (subject to final approval by the creators).
- You will be immortalised as a god. Adi Stone will draw you (in whatever divine form you take) for inclusion in the book. We'll send you an A3 poster of your likeness, too.
We'll write you a drow opera, although not in the original drow language, because you wouldn't be able to understand it. We will then attempt to perform and film it.

Q: Implementing a mouseover function in JavaScript I'm trying to learn how to program in JavaScript, coming from a pretty solid knowledge of Java, HTML, and CSS. I've styled a website using bootstrap to play around with but I'm already stuck. My goal is the change the background color of the navbar elements using plain JavaScript

I can do this using jQuery, but I need to know how to program in JavaScript as its helpful to have as a skill. After researching this, The implementations I can see are the mouseover attribute of HTML elements and getElementsByClassName/getElementsById.
When I implement them myself I can't seem the have any luck at all. I'd like to keep my JavaScript inside an external file which is another difficulty. I can't seem to select all the elements at once, let alone style them.
Here's my html (using Bootstrap 4 and some custom stylings):

JavaScript:
document.getElementsByClassName("nav-link").style.color = "blue";

Setting the color to blue is only testing if the selection worked, not my final goal. When I refresh the page nothing happens. I've confirmed I linked my JS file correctly as alert() works.

A: You're almost there... what you've got is a collection to loop through...
var N=document.getElementsByClassName("nav-link");

for(var i=0; i<N.length; i++){ N[i].style.color = "blue"; }

A: You need to loop over an array of elements.

var links = document.getElementsByClassName('nav-link');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {

A: I personally prefer .querySelectorAll('selector') as it allows more flexibility for selecting elements.
The method (of choice) to loop through them is  [].map.call(collection, function).
It's flexible, not too verbose and highly readable, hence maintainable. I'm not really sure how far it goes in terms of backwards browser compatibility, but it does cover modern IE, which the recommended method, NodeList.forEach() does not, yet.

[].map.call(document.querySelectorAll('.nav-link'), function(el){
  el.addEventListener('mouseover', function(){
    el.setAttribute('data-color',el.style.color);
    el.style.color='red'
  });
  el.addEventListener('mouseout', function(){
    el.style.color=el.getAttribute('data-color');
    el.removeAttribute('data-color')
  });
})

France thus has the world's second-largest total vineyard and competes with Italy for the position of having the world's largest wine production. Over the last several hundred years, France has been the most influential country in the wine world: France is the source of more well-known grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah) and winemaking practices than any other country, the names of many French wine regions such as Loire, Burgundy and and the Rhône are well-known throughout the world, and the style of top French wines have long been the benchmark for winemaking in most wine-producing countries of the world. French wine therefore plays an enormously important role in French identity and pride, and the combination of French wine and the equally influential French gastronomy has been an important one.


In addition to trimming their 75-man active roster down to 53 players on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers also waived one player from their Reserve/Injured list.
Waived Saturday was wide receiver Shakim Phillips, who started this year's training camp on the team's Active/PUP list with a sports hernia. During the first week of August, Phillips was waived injured from PUP and then reverted to the team's Reserve/Injured list after clearing waivers.
Phillips originally signed with the Steelers in 2015 as an undrafted free agent out of Boston College and ultimately spent his entire rookie season on the team's practice squad. He was signed to a futures contract this past January but went on to miss quite a bit of practice time during the team's OTA practices because of an injury.
With Phillips now gone the Steelers currently have six players on their Reserve/Injured list and they are Bruce Gradkowski, Jerald Hawkins, Kevin Anderson, Cole Manhart, Canaan Severin, and Valerian Ume-Ezeoke. However, cornerback Senquez Golson is expected to be added to this list on either Sunday or Monday.
In related news, Steelers rookie undrafted free agent tight end Paul Lang, who was waived Saturday, received an injury settlement as part of that transaction, according to the league's official daily release.

Cleveland Cavaliers Draft Report
Breaking down the Cavaliers draft picks and roster outlook heading into the NBA draft
2017-18 W/L: 50-32 2018-19 W/L: 19-63
Finished 14th in eastern conference (Missed Playoffs)
Team Needs: SG, SF, PF, C
Free Agents: Marquese Chriss, Channing Fyre, David Nwaba, Nik Stauskas
Under Contract: Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Brandon Knight, Jordan Clarkson, John Henson, Matthew Dellavedova, Collin Sexton, Cedi Osman, Larry Nance Jr., Ante Zizic
Pick 1: 1st Round-5th Overall
Players who could be available and would fit with this pick:
SG: Jarrett Culver
SF: Cam Reddish, De'Andre Hunter
Pick 2: 1st Round-26th Overall
SG: Cameron Johnson, KZ Okpala, Matisse Thybulle
SF: Louis King, Kris Wilkes
PF: Jalen Mcdaniels, Nicolas Claxton
C: Mfiondu Kabengele, Daniel Gafford, Naz Reid, Goga Bitadze, Bruno Fernando
The Cavaliers are still waiting for multiple bad contracts to run their course, and they will be looking to unload some of that financial weight during the summer. After winning 50 games the previous season they fell to 19 wins in 2018-2019 once Lebron James headed to Los Angeles to join the Lakers. Due to the team being built with the intention of surrounding James with the right pieces, without him on the roster it was basically a band of bad contracts and misfits to a degree as Kevin Love only played 22 games for the season. Collin Sexton showed promise in his rookie season that he has the potential to become a top tier point guard in the league, and Jordan Clarkson put up solid numbers coming off of the bench. Assuming that Love is at full health next year the team should be better, but by and large until they shed the contracts of guys like JR Smith, Tristan Thompson and others, the franchise will be caught in between rebuilding and their contending past. Once they are able to get rid of those contracts or they run their course, they will be in a position to build around Sexton and hope that he along with other draft picks can lead the team to a strong future. Their first round pick will most likely come down to a decision between multiple wings such as De'Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish and Jarrett Culver. Any of these three players would fit with the style of play that Sexton brings to the table from the point guard position, and it will mainly be a question of which player the franchise views as the best of the group. There is a possibility they shock fans and reach for a big man like Jaxson Hayes or Bol Bol but that would not seem like a likely scenario at this point.
The 26th overall pick also belongs to Cleveland and it will give them another opportunity to give Sexton another first round talent to distribute the ball to. How they decide to go with their first pick will play a large role in what selection they will make with the 26th pick, however they could still take two players who primarily play the same position with the plan to put them on the floor together. KZ Okpala, Cameron Johnson, and Kris Wilkes all would make sense here with their ability to play at either the shooting guard or the small forward position. Louis King could also theoretically play either wing position but he is more primarily a small forward, although he would fit well next to Jarrett Culver if they were to select the sophomore with their first pick. There is a possibility that they could take a big man with this pick and there will be plenty of options available, being dependent on what type of big they want to have on the roster going forward. Mfioundu Kabengele can shoot the ball from deep well, and players like Daniel Gafford or Bruno Fernando bring athleticism and interior shot blocking abilities. With another year of Tristan Thompson's contract on the books, it would seem more likely that the team will wait to draft a big man once they do not have multiple players on the roster capable of playing the position. If we were picking for the Cavaliers, we would take Jarrett Culver or De'Andre Hunter with the 5th overall selection depending on which player was available followed up by choosing another complimentary wing with the 26th overall. This would allow them to pair Sexton with two young and athletic wings who could all learn from a veteran like Kevin Love. However they elect to go with their picks, they have a chance to select two players who can help lead them into the future and for the franchises sake, more wins in life after Lebron.

Non-carrier handset unlocking will be illegal starting this weekend
By JR Bookwalter 25 January 2013
You're safe if you've got an existing device
Carriers hold the key
T-Mobile USA may openly encourage smartphone users to bring unlocked handsets to its 4G network, but there may be a legal Catch-22 in doing so after tomorrow.
A new Library of Congress ruling will take effect this Saturday, Jan. 26, making it illegal for anyone but a wireless provider to unlock your cell phone for use on another network.
The ruling, issued back in October, was delayed by a 90-day transition period which expires this weekend, at which time consumers will be in violation of the law for having their device unlocked by an unauthorized party.
The law is part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which offers protection for carriers selling heavily subsidized handsets on contract from having such devices unlocked without permission.
Legacy exception
The ruling is intended to protect handsets purchased on or after Jan. 26, but the Library of Congress did make an exception for handsets currently in use.
Those so-called "legacy" handsets are described as "used (or perhaps unused) phones previously purchased or otherwise acquired by a consumer," and can be unlocked by anyone without skirting the law.
The DMCA is vague on how carriers might actually enforce the law - while the lengthy document makes it clear who is in violation, it fails to detail what penalties the infringing party might be subject to.
Of course, there's another way to get around the law: buy a factory unlocked handset, which typically costs double or triple that of the exact same device with two-year commitment from your wireless carrier.

Here's What Happened: How Natalie Rescued Monk
By Joanne Kaufman
Jan. 8, 2009 11:59 pm ET
Traylor Howard would like a hand-sanitizing wipe please. As her TV boss would put it, here's what happened: She's spent four seasons as the voice of reason and the calm center for the unreasonable, off-center, hygiene-wracked title character on the hit series "Monk." New episodes begin on the USA network tomorrow.
"We're always joking about it, everyone right down to the crew. You get very aware of the whole wipe situation," said Ms. Howard, 42. "I seem to run into people all the time now who aren't crazy about shaking hands."

Q: Spring 4 STOMP not sending queue-suffix in header on connect I wrote a small project that uses Spring MVC 4 with Websockets and RabbitMQ as the broker.
I am trying to send back to a single user (convertAndSendToUser) but I can't seem to have it working. Here is what the application does:

*

*authenticate to Spring Security over HTTP. The authentication is over AJAX and the backend assigns a UUID as the username to every new connection. There might be multiple clients with the same username so I would like to be able to target individual browsers although they may be logged in with the same username

*after authenticating over AJAX the webapp connects to the APIs using STOMP over Websockets.
These are the headers that get send back in the CONNECT FRAME
body: ""
command: "CONNECTED"
headers: Object
heart-beat: "0,0"
server: "RabbitMQ/3.3.1"
session: "session-OGzAN6T8Y0X9ft3Jq04fiQ"
user-name: "88dc9424-72e3-4814-be8c-e31dbf89b521"
version: "1.1"
As you can see there is no frame-suffix or session-id field.

*

*When I use convertAndSendToUser from the backend, the response is send to a unique queue like: /exchange/jobs-userh6g_48h9. The queue name is /exchange/jobs but Spring automatically attaches the suffix -userh6g_48h9. The username is "user" and the sessionId is "h6g_48h9" This is fine and I want this behavior but the problem is that the client (webapp) doesn't get this session id in the CONNECT frame and there is no way for it to actually subscribe to that unique queue.

How to solve this? I want the queue-suffix/session id sent back to me on connect so that the client can get this suffix and subscribe to his unique queues. Currently no messages come back from the server because of this lack of information.

A: Correct me if I'm wrong, but due to the UserDestinationMessageHandler, clients should be able to subscribe to /user/exchange/jobs and that message handler will correct the queue name for you.
As a side note, you should also consider adding a configuration class extending AbstractSecurityWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer similar to the following:
@Configuration
public class WebSocketSecurityConfig extends AbstractSecurityWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {

    @Override
    protected void configureInbound(MessageSecurityMetadataSourceRegistry messages) {
        messages
                .antMatchers(SimpMessageType.MESSAGE, "/topic/**", "/queue/**").denyAll() // Prevent users sending messages directly to topics and queues
                .antMatchers(SimpMessageType.SUBSCRIBE, "/queue/**/*-user*", "/topic/**/*-user*").denyAll() // Prevent users from subscriptions to private queues
                .antMatchers("/user/queue/errors").permitAll()
                .anyMessage().hasRole("ANY_OPTIONAL_ROLE_ETC")
        ;
    }
}

This will prevent "enterprising" users from subscribing to things that they shouldn't.
