The Eurasian nomads were a large group of nomadic peoples from the Eurasian Steppe, who often appear in history as invaders of Europe, the Middle East and China.
The generic title encompasses the varied ethnic groups who have at times inhabited the steppes of Central Asia, Mongolia, and what is now Russia. They domesticated the horse around 3500 BC, vastly increasing the possibilities of nomadic life,[1][2][3] and subsequently their economy and culture emphasised horse breeding, horse riding and nomadic pastoralism; this usually involved trading with settled peoples around the steppe edges. They developed the chariot, wagon, cavalry and horse archery and introduced innovations such as the bridle, bit and stirrup, and the very rapid rate at which innovations crossed the steppelands spread these widely, to be copied by settled peoples bordering the steppes.
2 Chronological division
3.1 By region
Scythia was a loose state or federation covering most of the steppe that originated as early as 8th century BC, composed mainly of people speaking Iranian languages, and usually regarded as the first of the nomad empires.[4] The Roman army hired Sarmatians as elite cavalrymen. Europe was exposed to several waves of invasions by horse people, including the Cimmerians in the 8th century BCE, various peoples during the Migration period, the Magyars in the Early Middle Ages, the Mongols and Seljuks in the High Middle Ages, the Kalmuks and the Kyrgyz and later the Kazakhs up to modern times. The earliest example of an invasion by a horse people may have been by the Proto-Indo-Europeans themselves, following the domestication of the horse in the 4th millennium BCE (see Kurgan hypothesis). Cimmerian is the first invasion of equestrian steppe nomads that is known from historical sources. Their military strength was always based on cavalry, usually marked by prowess as mounted archers. Kurgan is a general term for steppe burial mounds, which sometimes contained very elaborate burials.
Historically, areas to the north of China included Manchuria, Mongolia and Xinjiang were inhabited by nomadic tribes. Early periods in Chinese history involved conflict with the nomadic peoples to the west of the Wei valley. Texts from the Zhou dynasty (c.1050-256 BC) compare the Rong, Di and Qin dynasty to wolves, describing them as cruel and greedy.[5] Iron and bronze were supplied from China.[6] An early theory proposed by Owen Lattimore suggesting that the nomadic tribes could have been self-sufficient was criticized by later scholars, who questioned whether their raids may have been motivated by necessity rather than greed. Subsequent studies noted that nomadic demand for grain, cereals, textiles and ironware exceeded China's demand for Steppe goods. Anatoly Khazanov identified this imbalance in production as the cause of instability in the Steppe nomadic cultures. Later scholars argued that peace along China's northern border largely depended on whether the nomads could obtain the essential grains and textiles they needed through peaceful means such as trade or intermarriage. Several tribes organized to form the Xiongnu, a tribal confederation that gave the nomadic tribes the upper hand in their dealings with the settled agricultural Chinese people.[5]
During the Tang dynasty, Turks would cross the Yellow River when it was frozen to raid China. Contemporary Tang sources noted the superiority of Turkic horses. Emperor Taizong wrote that the horses were "exceptionally superior to ordinary [horses]". The Xiajiasi (Kyrgyz) were a tributary tribe who controlled an area abundant in resources like gold, tin and iron. The Turks used the iron tribute paid by the Kyrgyz to make weapons, armor and saddle parts. Turks were nomadic hunters and would sometimes conceal military activities under the pretense of hunting. Their raids into China were organized by a khagan and success in these campaigns had a significant influence on a tribal leaders prestige. In the 6th c. the Göktürk Khaganate consolidated their dominance over the northern steppe region through a series of military victories against the Shiwei, Khitan, Rouran, Tuyuhun, Karakhoja, and Yada. By the end of the 6th century, following the Göktürk civil war, the short-lived empire had split into the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates.[7]
The concept of "horse people" was of some importance in 19th century scholarship, in connection with the rediscovery of Germanic pagan culture by Romanticism (see Viking revival), which idealised the Goths in particular as a heroic horse-people. J. R. R. Tolkien's Rohirrim may be seen as an idealised Germanic people influenced by these romantic notions. Tolkien's Wainriders of eastern Rhûn recall ancient steppe peoples like the Scythians.[citation needed] Similarly, George R. R. Martin's nomadic Dothraki people are heavily influenced by the lifestyles and cultures of historical horse people.[citation needed]
Nomadism persists in the steppelands, though it has generally been disapproved of by modern regimes, who have often discouraged it with varying degrees of coersion.

Raheem Sterling has accused British newspapers of helping to "fuel racism" with the way they portray young black footballers after he suffered alleged abuse during Manchester City's defeat at Chelsea.
"The young black kid is looked at in a bad light. Which helps fuel racism an(d) aggressive behaviour," Sterling wrote.
"I just want to say, I am not normally the person to talk a lot but when I think I need my point heard I will speak up," he posted.
While the article about Adarabioyo focuses on how he spent £2.25-million ($2.9-million) on a property without making a top-flight appearance, midfielder Foden, 18, is described as having "set up a future".
"You have two young players starting out their careers — both play for the same team, both have done the right thing, which is buy a new house for their mothers who have put in a lot of time and love into helping them get where they are," said Sterling.
Treated as a scapegoat during England's disastrous Euro 2016 campaign, he dubbed himself "The Hated One" on Instagram.
Sterling was widely criticised again ahead of this year's World Cup in Russia for having a tattoo of a gun on his leg.

A Look at Eminent Thinkers in Psychology
The breadth and diversity of psychology can be seen by looking as some of its best known thinkers. While each theorist may have been part of an overriding school of thought, each brought a unique and individual voice and perspective to the field of psychology.
A study that appeared in the July 2002 issue of the Review of General Psychology created a ranking of the 99 most influential psychologists. The rankings were mostly based on three factors: the frequency of journal citations, introductory textbook citations, and the survey responses of 1,725 members of the American Psychological Association.
10 Influential Thinkers in Psychology
The following list provides an overview of 10 psychologists from this ranking survey. These individuals are not only some of the best-known thinkers in psychology, they also played an important role in psychology's history and made important contributions to our understanding of human behavior. This list is not an attempt to identify who was the most influential or which school of thought was best. Instead, this list offers a glimpse of some of the theoretical outlooks that have influenced not only psychology, but also the larger culture in which we live.
1. B. F. Skinner
In the 2002 study ranking the 99 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century, B.F. Skinner topped the list. Skinner's staunch behaviorism made him a dominating force in psychology and therapy techniques based on his theories are still used extensively today, including behavior modification and token economies.
2. Sigmund Freud
When people think of psychology, many tend to think of Freud. His work supported the belief that not all mental illnesses have physiological causes and he also offered evidence that cultural differences have an impact on psychology and behavior. His work and writings contributed to our understanding of personality, clinical psychology, human development, and abnormal psychology.
3. Albert Bandura
Bandura's work is considered part of the cognitive revolution in psychology that began in the late 1960s. His social learning theory stressed the importance of observational learning, imitation, and modeling. "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do," Bandura explained in his 1977 book Social Learning Theory.
Roland Zumbühl
Jean Piaget's work had a profound influence on psychology, especially our understanding children's intellectual development. His research contributed to the growth of developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, genetic epistemology, and education reform. Albert Einstein once described Piaget's observations on children's intellectual growth and thought processes as a discovery "so simple that only a genius could have thought of it."
5. Carl Rogers
Carl Rogers placed emphasis on human potential, which had an enormous influence on both psychology and education. He became one of the major humanist thinkers and an eponymous influence in therapy with his "Rogerian therapy." As described by his daughter Natalie Rogers, he was "a model for compassion and democratic ideals in his own life, and in his work as an educator, writer, and therapist."
6. William James
Psychologist and philosopher William James is often referred to as the father of American psychology. His 1200-page text, The Principles of Psychology, became a classic on the subject and his teachings and writings helped establish psychology as a science. In addition, James contributed to functionalism, pragmatism, and influenced many students of psychology during his 35-year teaching career.
7. Erik Erikson
Erik Erikson's stage theory of psychosocial development helped create interest and research on human development through the lifespan. An ego psychologist who studied with Anna Freud, Erikson expanded psychoanalytic theory by exploring development throughout the life, including events of childhood, adulthood, and old age.
8. Ivan Pavlov
Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist whose research on conditioned reflexes influenced the rise of behaviorism in psychology. Pavlov's experimental methods helped move psychology away from introspection and subjective assessments to objective measurement of behavior.
9. Kurt Lewin
Lewin is known as the father of modern social psychology because of his pioneering work that utilized scientific methods and experimentation to look as social behavior. Lewin was a seminal theorist whose enduring impact on psychology makes him one of the preeminent psychologists of the 20th-century.
10. Reader's Choice
Following the examples of Eugene Garfield's 1977 ranking list and Haggbloom's 2002 ranking, the final position on this list has been left blank in order to allow "the reader's best case for a psychologist who should have made the list" (Haggbloom, 2002).

Q: Using embedded style sheet to modify inline images I'm having a bit of trouble trying to create an irregular line wrap around an image. Basically I'm given 6 'slices' of an image that I'm to put together to give the illusion it's one image; with text neatly wrapping to the left of it.
I was instructed to do this with an embedded style sheet. What I did was wrap each 'slice' within a div (so I may set each slice's width) and then wrap all those divs into a div with an id "images".
Now, inside, at the bottom of my head I have the following code:

Now, the image is put together, as in, no gaps in-between, but all of the images aren't floating properly to the right. In fact, it looks as though the slices are kind of left-aligned. If they were right aligned it would look proper.
Also, the book asks to apply a style to "inline images". This is easy to do with paragraphs, headings, and addresses, but how would I apply a style to inline images other than using a ton of divs like I just did?
As requested here's the code for the div of images:

Also, I tried the following to no avail:
img {
    float: right;
    clear: right;
    margin: 0 0 0 2em;
}

A: Why an extra div around the images? Just use that exact style on every image, see http://jsfiddle.net/NGLN/B33kA/.
img {
    float: right;
    clear: right;
    margin: 0 0 0 2em;
}

A: Dialog templates have a very specific format and require DWORD alignment. Your implementation is incorrect and is likely causing undefined behavior.
An easier solution is to use the resource editor to create a dialog, and simply call DialogBox(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), 0, DialogProc). This method is much easier, more versatile, and safer.
By default, edit control has a 32K limit. This limit is not changed in above example, so it's unclear how you insert 1 MB.
Edit control will handle WM_PASTE message automatically, as long as it has focus. If edit control does not have focus, then WM_PASTE is sent to the dialog, you can simply pass WM_PASTE to the edit control.
SetWindowLongPtr is outdated method for subclassing controls. Use SetWindowSubclass instead.
Try the example below. I used the dialog template method again, but using resource editor is strongly recommended. This code should be compiled in Unicode.
//#define UNICODE
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <CommCtrl.h>

The U15 Girls' Rugby team travelled to Winchester RFC to compete in their first ever Hampshire school tournament on Thursday 12th October.
The day was full of thrilling rugby. In the morning the girls began with an unlucky defeat losing 15-5 against Applemore. However, they brought it back in the last three matches of the morning with a 5-0 win against Priory and a 10-5 win against St. Georges, before finishing the morning with a 10-5 win against Amery.
After a physical morning of rugby, the girls were placed into a new pool and were excited for the second round of rugby. With some quick tries the girls won their first match 10-0 against Priory once again. Facing a strong side, they carried on their winning streak with a 10-0 win against Cantell before finishing a successful day of rugby with a repeated match against St Georges, ending with a win of 15-0.
Everyone should be very proud of their achievements and look forward to many more tournaments in the future.
Well done to Amy Lewis, Ella Maycock, Jess Nock, Lily Dowrick, Ella Maidment, Mary woolfe, Ellie Grainger, Sopia Henry, Ally Marsh, Sure De Beer, Alys Shinn, Holly Cutts, Chloe Delarge and Alice Bridgen.


Please notify the church office if you know of any members of Angelica that have served our country in the Armed Forces. We would like to update the plaque that is now hanging in the hallway near the restrooms. Tom Halwachs beautifully refurbished the plaque and it is awaiting the addition of some more recent names.

Hungary pays out higher percentage of EU funding for 2004-2006, than most new member states
About half of the EU and state co-financing available under the National Development Plan I, Hungary's framework for disbursing EU development funding in 2004-2006, has been paid out, a higher percentage than any new EU member with the exception of Slovenia, government commissioner in charge of development Gordon Bajnai said on Friday.
Contracts worth Ft 670 billion were signed under the National Development Plan I, Bajnai said. Applications for funding under the New Hungary Development Plan, the framework for disbursing EU funding in 2007-2014, will be accepted starting in January, Bajnai said. Bajnai said Hungary's operative programmers for the funding available during the period placed greater emphasis on programmers affecting ordinary citizens as well as equal opportunity. The new focus was the result of talks with various interest groups, he said. Talks with business organizations revealed that companies need credit and guarantees, not just grants, he added. Submitting applications under the New Hungary Development Plan will require less paperwork and applicants may follow the entire process on the internet. An independent body has been set up to examine complaints about the process, Bajnai said. Another change under the new plan scraps the requirement for financial guarantees for local councils, non-government organizations and churches. (Bloomberg)

HomePortland Trail BlazersDid The Portland Trail Blazers Actually Try To Trade For Shaquille O'Neal?
Did The Portland Trail Blazers Actually Try To Trade For Shaquille O'Neal?
May 19, 2020 Bryant Knox Portland Trail Blazers 0
Shaquille O'Neal says it happened. An anonymous member of the Portland Trail Blazers refuted it. But back in 2009, before the Big Shaqtus moved to Cleveland to get The King a ring (unsuccessfully), Portland reportedly called Phoenix Suns general manager Steve Kerr and suggested a trade that would have sent the future Hall of Famer to Rip City.
"During the middle of the season, Steve said Portland was interested," Shaq told Sports Illustrated in 2009. "He said, was I interested in going to Portland? I told him no, so he stopped that."
The question at this point really isn't whether or not it happened. As Sports Illustrated went on to say in its June 27, 2009 report, the Trail Blazers denied having any interest in a deal. So over a decade later, it's the case of Shaq's deep, unmistakable voice versus "sources" within a notoriously quiet front office.
At this point, the bigger question is "what if?" Just what would the Blazers have looked like if Kerr, who may have been doing his old franchise a favor even hearing them out, had convinced Shaq that this was the right move for him?
For starters, you have to ask who would have been involved in the offer. Let's take a look at the components of the Cleveland deal to remind ourselves of Shaq's trade value at the time.
(Image courtesy of ESPN.com)
Ben Wallace had just completed his 14th season. He'd posted 5.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and a block in 56 games, and the other major piece of the deal, Sasha Pavlovic, averaged 4.6 points in 16 minutes per night.
Now, that seems like strikingly low value even when including half a million dollars cash and a second-round draft pick. Shaq may have been 37 years old, but he had also come off a 75-game season in which he posted 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds to go with 1.4 blocks in an even 30 minutes a game.
This isn't, of course, to say that the Cavs should have been willing to sacrifice its core—it's to say Portland might have had a real shot at ripping O'Neal away.
Now, let's consider Shaq's value against the Trail Blazers roster that season.
(Image courtesy of Basketball Reference.)
For the purpose of this exercise, we're not going to look at salaries, just player value. But there's one name you can't see on that list who started every trade conversation involving Portland that season: Raef Lafrentz. So it's safe to assume he'd be a piece of this puzzle as well.
After Lafrentz (and his now-infamous expiring contract), Joel Przybilla is the easy first player to include knowing Wallace was Phoenix's main return. Looking at a package that gets Phoenix a reliable, defense-oriented center, the Blazers could have also included pieces like Travis Outlaw, Steve Blake or Sergio Rodriguez to compete with the Cavs' offer.
If Portland was feeling spicy, it could have built a deal around Arizona Wildcat Jerryd Bayless, who was just a year into his career but only a summer away from being traded anyway.
Portland, however, denied having interest in Shaq back in 2009 based on the makeup of its roster and the team's overall objective.
"Why would we [offer a trade]when we've got Greg (Oden) developing and we've already got (Joel) Przybilla?" That quote comes from a source in the story who went on to say, "If we're in go-for-it mode, maybe we would be more interested."
Revising history and sending Shaq to the Blazers, who had finished 54-28 (the team's first 50-win season since 2002-03), would have made Portland an immediate contender. He was approaching the end of his playing days, but he was still the kind of player who could get the right franchise over the hump. That's why the Cavaliers paired him next to LeBron James in the first place, and it's why any interest Paul Allen and his front office may have had was justified.
With Shaq on board, even with his mileage, the Blazers would have had more short-term catastrophe insurance. Oden's camp and the Rip City fan base were still holding onto hope for a bright future, but with so much up in the air, having a center who could both defend and make plays at the rim feels, in hindsight, crucial to finding real team success. He would have been asked to handle the lowest offensive load of his career, but even a piece who can help a battered young No. 1 draft pick come along slowly would have been invaluable.
Shaq could have also been the piece to begin maximizing a young LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy. Even in the final stages of his career, and even with an immediate decline on the horizon, he would have fit better next to the inside-out, rising-star combo than he ever did next to King James. He also would have been the biggest superstar to join the Blazers since Scottie Pippen, and it's reasonable to think he could have brought a decent free agent or two to the Pacific Northwest by sheer star power alone.
Not to get too far side-tracked…but to hear an anonymous Blazers representative cite not being in "go-for-it-all mode" either after or during a 54-win campaign in which they placed fourth in the Western Conference is perplexing. It'd be one thing if they felt Shaq was so far past his prime he didn't offer value. But it's another to say you're not going all in when you just had your best season 1999-00—a season (and era) O'Neal single-handedly ended himself.
(I may start believing Shaq's voice more and more on this one.)
All in all, "what if?" will be the question to ask until time forgets the near-trade even took place. Or didn't take place. Who's to say, therefore who's to argue?
And truthfully, there are bigger what-if scenarios in Trail Blazers history. Shaq's inclusion in Portland would have been something special, but Roy and Oden themselves account for far bigger question marks, and that's just the start.
With so many legends having stopped through Portland at some point in their careers, Shaq would have been the biggest. In size? Close to it. In stature, status, celebrity and life? One-hundred percent.
Even if just for a cup of Stumptown, it would have been a trip to see The Big Hipster make his way through town. He never got The King his ring, but there's an argument out there that he could have turned Rip City into 'Ship City by the time he called it a career.

HB 2042 – conceal carry reciprocity and lowering the conceal carry age to 18.
Our watchword for this kind of legislation this session has been "stop the insanity." This bill would also introduce a lot more guns onto our state college campuses – including into dorms.
Action: This bill is coming out of conference committee and will have to go before both chambers. So please call both your senator and your representative and ask them to vote NO! on HB 2042.
HB 2481 - "Sincerely-held religious belief" exemption for family placement services.
The Catholic conference is proposing this legislation, which would exempt their adoption and family placement services from any prospective anti-discrimination regulations that may come in the future (they don't exist yet).
In the past the general rule has been that a religious organization could do whatever it wanted with private money, but when public money is involved, services have to be available to everyone. That's a sensible balance and we believe that any prospective anti-discrimination legislation would have to accommodate it. But we also believe that this legislation is specifically intended to open the door for religious-based providers to get state money and yet discriminate, and that's unacceptable.
The bill will come before the House, either on general orders (amendable) or as a "concur" with the action of the Senate (not amendable). The offending section – the possibility of state funding - is Section D. If that is removed, the bill is okay. If it remains in, we urge a No vote.
At the end of the regular session the Senate passed a tax cut bill. It's hard to believe that after the disaster of the Brownback tax experiment – a hole it will take the state years to climb out of – and the years-long underfunding of public schools, that conservative senators still think that cutting taxes should be any kind of priority at all, but there we are. We hope this won't come to the House, but if it does we encourage a No vote.
A bill passed out of a Senate committee to delay the implementation of KanCare 2.0, (SB 300) allowing time to fix the problems as well as pushing off the policy pieces, but Senate leadership has refused to allow the bill on the floor, because they're afraid that Medicaid expansion would be amended to it. And that's a conversation they refuse to have. So rather than just having the conversation, they have prevented discussion of legislation that most everyone agrees is needed. And if the delay bill isn't passed, Gov. Colyer could just implement the policy pieces unilaterally, and we believe he would do so.
It's possible that both the KanCare 2.0 delay bill and expansion will be introduced on the floor as (separate) amendments to a budget bill. Of course we support expansion, but don't see how it can become law in that way, because Gov. Colyer could use a line-item veto against it and there would be no opportunity to override. KanCare 2.0 delay, however, has bipartisan support and Gov. Colyer at least putatively understands the problems with the program, so would be less likely (we think) to line-item veto it.
Action: Who to call: both Senate and House. Action: Support a KanCare 2.0 delay bill if it comes up as an amendment to a budget bill.
There is a possibility of an amendment to a budget bill to protect distributed generation (solar in particular) from punitive treatment by the KCC as well as requiring it to include efficiency and distributed generation in a comprehensive study of electricity rates. Kansas has the highest electricity rates in the region and we believe that efficiency and distributed generation would help to address that, if the KCC and the investor-owned utilities would soften their hostility. We support this amendment.
Action: Who to call: Both House and Senate. What to ask: support an amendment to protect distributed generation and include it and efficiency in a comprehensive study. Protect Kansas' ratepayers!


We roll into the weekend with a new review for a recently released Nintendo Switch eShop game, Assault Android Cactus+. If you like twin-stick shooters and high-scoring frenzies, this game is for you. See why with the SuperPhillip Central review.
Do androids dream of getting high scores on leaderboards?
Originally released in 2015 on PC, indie developer Witch Beam's Assault Android Cactus eventually made it to home consoles--specifically the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016 and 2017 respectively. PlayStation Vita and Wii U versions were planned and in development, but those didn't pan out. The cancellation was especially painful for one particular group of gaming fans, as out of the big three console ecosystems, Nintendo players were left out from the game's release.
That is, until now, with Assault Android Cactus+ on the Nintendo Switch. An enhanced port of the original 2015 game, Witch Beam brings their critically acclaimed twin-stick shooter to the Switch with more content and the promising pictures of portable play to be excited about.
Assault Android Cactus+ brings with it top-down perspective, twin-stick shooting action spanning 25 individual levels in its main campaign. The goal of each level is to eliminate all enemies within each arena, which is no easy task when you have squadrons of robotic foes homing in on your position, surrounding and attacking. Fortunately, one of the nine android playable characters available to you (one unlocks per five levels in the campaign completed) has unlimited lives. Once their health meter depletes, it's just a matter of mashing on the fire button to rejuvenate them and get them back in action. Of course, perishing in battle results in a lower rank due to a point penalty for each time you fall in battle.
While this assault android is outnumbered, with her high-powered offense, the odds are on Cactus's side.
The primary cause for concern, however, is that androids use up a lot of energy and juice in these high-powered, high-octane skirmishes. They need batteries to recharge themselves, which drop from defeated enemies. If the battery meter fully depletes, it's game over. When you have battlefields full of frenzied foes frantically firing shots and making attacks at you, it can be difficult to get to a battery in time. It's a balance of eliminating enemies and keeping tabs on your battery gauge in order to save yourself from a ruined run.
Levels in Assault Android Cactus+ transform and evolve as you do battle on them. Static floors turn into running treadmills, walls and barriers rise up and alter the structure of the level, and platforms can appear from the arena sides to expand the size of the battlefield--or in some cases, give you less ground to work with.
The bigger they are... the more bullets they take!
While fighting off the robotic horde of enemies, there are various power-ups that drop from defeated foes. Things like increased firepower that temporarily adds two support drones to stand by your android's side to level enemies into scrap, as well as power-ups like upgraded speed and mobility, and a power-up that short circuits foes for a limited amount of time, allowing your android to pick them off as they're offline--these all give a great advantage in battle. Losing all of your health means you lose these power-ups immediately rather than after they run their course naturally, so it's important to be smart about when you pick up a power-up so you don't die in battle quickly and waste it.
Each of the nine playable androids in Assault Android Cactus+ has a main weapon and a special weapon that usually serves as a great means of crowd control and delivering extra damage to enemies with higher health to them. Our primary android protagonist, Cactus, fires a straight series of shots forward, while her secondary weapon is a flamethrower, fantastic for getting all up close and personal to take out encroaching enemies. Other androids use guns that fire off a spreading shot of bullets, deliver shotgun blasts, and utilize rail gun properties. The stronger the weapon, the more time it takes for it to cool down before you can use it again. The special weapons like firing off cannonballs and Cactus' aforementioned flamethrower take longer to cool off before they can be used once more. Additionally, the special weapon trigger doubly serves as an evade button to give a much needed line of defense for your chosen android.
Not mentioned in the body of this review, but there is co-operative play for up to four players locally.
Each area of the Assault Android Cactus+ campaign is comprised of four standard levels of eliminating all enemies and one final boss fight. These greatly add some freshness to what I consider otherwise rather repetitive gameplay. The boss battles are a nice change of pace from going through the motions of running and gunning through wave after wave of similar looking enemies. The bosses are truly challenging, and they afford little room for error. I felt decently challenged by them, and one was a roadblock for me for about a day before I finally overcame them.
receives their own special dialog to bookend each battle.
Every level in Assault Android Cactus+ utilizes a leaderboard that compares your scores not just with your Switch friends, but it also compares your scores with the entire Assault Android Cactus+ user base. It's incredibly rewarding to improve your own personal scores and letter grade ranks while gaining motivation to best your friends and reach higher and higher on a given level's leaderboard. Leaderboards are also available for the endurance mode, where you face wave after wave of enemies, as well as the daily challenge mode.
Unlockable Campaign+ and Boss Rush modes make themselves available to you upon completion of the base campaign. You also earn credits when completing levels, which can be used to purchase bonus content like concept art, promo art, and even cool features like a first-person perspective to play around with in game.
Assault Android Cactus+ contains enough content to it, fast-paced, wild and hectic arenas to blast away baddies in all the while gunning for high scores, and a stellar presentation to make for a game that one will find hard to not keep coming back for more. While best played in short bursts, as the gameplay does get a tad repetitive a bit after a short while, Assault Android Cactus+ makes its mark on the Nintendo Switch as another fantastic indie title in the system's rich catalog of games. Lock and load, and let loose on your targets with Assault Android Cactus+. Just don't forget to recharge that battery!

Singapore/Mumbai: Tata Steel Limited's (TSL) memorandum of understanding with thyssenkrupp AG to create a 50:50 JV in Europe paves the way for TSL to reduce exposure to a structurally weaker business, says Fitch Ratings.
However, according to Fitch, TSL's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'BB' remains on Rating Watch Evolving until further clarity on the proposed JV emerges with the signing of definitive agreements, which is expected by March 2018. In addition, Fitch will look out for details on TSL's plans to significantly expand capacity in India and evaluate its impact on TSL's financial metrics and credit profile.
TSL's operations in Europe face weak regional demand, high conversion costs and lack of captive raw-material sources. Fitch believes the reduction in direct exposure to this industry and the increase in the significance of its more-profitable Indian operations will not only reduce earnings volatility, but also improve TSL's overall business profile.
TSL's India operations are highly profitable; they generated EBITDA per tonne of around USD160 in the financial year ended March 2017 (FY17). TSL benefits from significant vertical integration in India as captive mines provided all of its iron ore and 36% of its coal requirements in FY17. The company has been steadily ramping up output from its Kalinganagar plant, which has capacity of 3 million tonnes a year, since its commissioning in May 2016. While recent steel demand growth in India has been muted at around 4% yoy in April-August 2017, the outlook is supported by accelerating public-sector spending and a preferential policy for locally processed steel in government procurement. In addition, long-term anti-dumping duties provide protection from the threat of imports should international steel prices weaken.
The proposed JV, which TSL announced on 20 September 2017, will be called thyssenkrupp Tata Steel. It will be formed on a non-cash basis, with both shareholders contributing assets and liabilities in order to achieve fair valuation. The JV will be the second-largest European flat steel producer with annual shipments of about 21 million tonnes. TSL intends to transfer its European flat steel assets and around EUR2.5 billion of term debt to the JV, while thyssenkrupp (BB+/Rating Watch Positive) would transfer pension liabilities of EUR3.6 billion and its European flat steel assets and steel mill services. The companies expect to sign definitive agreements after due diligence and shareholder approval by March 2018 and close the deal after anti-trust and other regulatory approvals in late 2018.
The proposed JV's intended capital structure has been designed by the two partners to be self-sustaining, with the ratio of term debt to EBITDA in the last 12 months below 2x and expected cost synergies of EUR400 million-600 million annually. TSL expects to service offshore net debt of around INR170 billion with the help of dividends from the JV. Given the lack of recourse by the JV to TSL and cash-flow exposure limited to dividends, Fitch will use the equity accounting method for this new entity, rather than proportionally consolidate the JV's financials when assessing TSL. Fitch will also place an emphasis on the significance of the Indian business when assessing the business profile of the group.
TSL's FFO adjusted net leverage improved to around 5x at FYE17, from 13x at FYE16. We estimate TSL's leverage to decline further to 4x by FY19, driven by robust EBITDA in India and reduced capex. TSL's capex averaged around INR120 billion each year over FY14-17 as it set up its Kalinganagar plant, and we assume roughly half of that level will be spent annually over the next three years resulting in positive FCF. However, higher-than-expected spending to pursue capacity growth is a key risk to our estimates.

Mexican officials cut off new migrant caravan, breaking up main group
By Jose Torres
Agents of the National Migration Institute and National Guard detain migrants from Central America and the Caribbean, in Huixtla
HUIXTLA, Mexico (Reuters) – Mexican security and migration officials early on Sunday blocked the passage of a new migrant caravan, detaining several people, as the government moved to break up the group just a day after it set off from southern Mexico for the United States.
At around 5 a.m. local time, members of Mexico's National Guard and the National Institute of Migration (INM) began surrounding the migrants on the edge of the southern town of Huixtla, prompting some of them to flee, a Reuters witness said.
In the ensuing commotion, some parents in the caravan made up largely of Central Americans, Haitians and some Venezuelans were separated from their children as the officials sought to intercept migrants who ran for the banks of the River Huixtla.
The operation to stop the caravan of around 400 people comes a few days after officials dispersed another large group and followed comments by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador that he wanted undocumented migrants to stay in southern Mexico.
Lopez Obrador also urged the U.S. government to help the migrants find work https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-president-write-biden-urging-work-visas-migrants-2021-09-02, speaking ahead of a high-level meeting of U.S. and Mexican officials on Thursday that is due to address economic matters and also expected to encompass migration.
As had occurred with the previous caravan, some migrants accused Mexican security forces of using excessive force during their intervention, and Maria Martha Ramos, a Honduran woman, said some of the officials threw stones to detain people.
Ramos said she would see if the main body of migrants regrouped so she could continue her journey north.
The Mexican government recently condemned officials committing acts of violence that were captured on video against the previous group of migrants. Local migrant advocates expressed dismay at the tactics used against the new caravan.
Heyman Vazquez, a priest in Huixtla and advocate for migrants, described the early morning swoop on the caravan, which included many children, as an "inhumane" and "cruel" abuse of power that had spread fear and alarm among the travelers.

COVID case rates on the rise in Monroe, across the State

MONROE, CT — First Selectman Ken Kellogg says case rates for COVID-19 continue to rise in Monroe , as well as across the State of Connecticut. The town's rolling average is nine cases per day.
"This is comparable to case rates we experienced almost one year ago, in January of this year," Kellogg said in his most recent update on the pandemic. "Thankfully, although the number of hospitalizations statewide has also risen considerably, the overall number and rate of hospitalization is not as high as it was a year ago."
"Vaccination continues to be very effective in reducing the risk and
severity of illness," he said. "While breakthrough cases continue to be reported,
this remains a relatively smaller number. Of all fully vaccinated Connecticut residents, those contracting the virus is just over 1 percent."
Data indicates unvaccinated individuals are five times more likely to be infected and 12 times more likely to be hospitalized, according to Kellogg.
"As you are likely aware, initial and booster vaccinations are widely available," he said. "Links to find providers are on the COVID- 19 page of our website."
Starting next week, town booster vaccination clinics will be by individual appointments at the Monroe Health Department offices. The town will post any available appointments for the following week at www.MonroeCT.org/COVID-19.

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985) Review
Posted in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning with tags Danny Steinmann, Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, Jason, Melanie Kinnaman on August 13, 2013 by Last Road Reviews
*** ½ Out of 5
Tagline- If Jason Still Haunts You, You're Not Alone
Release Date- March 22nd, 1985
Screenplay- Martin Kitrosser, David Cohen & Danny Steinmann
Director- Danny Steinmann
Starring- Melanie Kinnaman, John Shepherd, Tiffany Helm, Juliette Cummins, Carol Locatell, Shavar Ross and Corey Feldman as Tommy Jarvis
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning is the ugly stepchild of the Friday the 13th series and is probably the most bashed installment of the series as this film takes a beating from fans of the franchise because spoiler alert Jason isn't the killer, but I'm sure most of you reading that already knew that of course and for those who didn't sorry about that. I sort of understand why so many people disliked this movie Jason isn't the killer and I guess some people felt cheated and I get it you see a Friday the 13th movie you wanna see Jason hacking up people, but the original didn't feature Jason as the killer and that was in my opinion hands down the best of the series. The thing people fail to realize even if Jason were the killer the movie would have turned out the same; it's a guy in a mask killing people just like the rest of the series minus the original. If anything the only real difference would be the final few minutes when the killer is revealed and their motive.
Oddly enough people often bash franchises for being the same thing film after film, but yet when one comes along and attempts something different its often bashed for doing that. Now I think you can only stray so much; Halloween 3 for instance did stray a bit too much, but I actually liked the movie, but that's a whole other review, but that might be straying too much whereas Friday the 13th: A New Beginning never really strays from the concept. This part has all the elements of the previous movies, but without Jason it makes the movie an unfair target from angry fanboys, but again the movie wouldn't be any different with Jason except the final few minutes. My question to everybody is how would the movie be any better with Jason if it was so terrible to begin with? All Jason would do is the same exact thing the killer in this movie did so in reality you would have the same exact movie again except for the final few minutes. Like how I brought up straying the next installment Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives mixed up the formula without straying, but A New Beginning is pretty much like the past 4 and I can't stress enough even with Jason this film turns out the same until the final few minutes.
I also believe another strike against the movie is the Final Chapter is a fan favorite and while I like the movie I don't rate it as highly as most fans of the series do, but its still one of my favorite sequels of the series, but its such a fan favorite its really difficult to match and even though I liked A New Beginning it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. Regardless I'm not ashamed to say I really enjoyed this one and in terms of the series I suppose it would be middle of the road, but offers enough to make it a fun ride.
The script by Martin Kitrosser (writer of part 3), David Cohen & Danny Steinmann is light on plot, but aren't pretty much all the Friday the 13th movies? But my problem with that is the movie does attempt to be a little deeper as it deals with the psychological fallout for Tommy Jarvis (John Shepherd) and while this was an interesting ideas it does however seem as if Tommy is here more to be a suspect than anything else. The script does as stated try to be a little deeper, but it just doesn't work as well as it could have, but I guess you get what you pay for and nothing against the writers of the movie, but that's pretty much the best you can get. The script is more in the style of the original, but not as well written and if anything it also reminds me of part 3 as Martin Kitrosser with his co-writer Carol Watson had some good ideas with the script and it seemed as if the plot was almost there, but not quite yet (however I still loved the movie) and A New Beginning also sort of feels like that; we have an idea, but it just wasn't fully done yet and seeing as this movie was released the year after the last installment I suppose there wasn't a lot of time to fine tune the script. But I do feel the movie missed an opportunity with Tommy; Tommy moping around looking angry and on the verge of going insane at any moment can grow a bit old as the character never really goes anywhere in terms of story and it does sort of feel he's back to bridge the film to the previous installment.
The characters aren't very well-developed, but I suppose that isn't much of a shocker. We know as much about them at the start of the movie as we do at the end, but with that said the characters at least have their own identities rather than being inter-changeable and for me that's all that really matters. A New Beginning in my opinion also has some of the more likable characters in the series such as Pam (Kinnaman) Reggie (Shavar) & George (Washington). The rest of the characters serve their purpose and even if they lack any real depth I did personally find the characters some of the more likable even if you don't really get any real attachment to them outside of the three I mentioned.
Director Danny Steinmann who directed the cult classic Savage Streets brings a more exploitation style of filmmaking to the series as this one features more nudity, which was more exploitive than the past parts or future for that matter and also has a bit of sleazy feel going for it as well. Despite having a similar budget as the other sequels the production values do feel a bit cheaper and Steinmann also has a porn background and it does sort of show in the production as like I stated despite the budget being what most of the sequels were it does feel a lot cheaper. The pacing of the film is strong for the most part and at times Steinmann does deliver some suspense, but at this point in the series the formula was growing old and it does hinder the movie to some degree. The death scenes seemed a bit rushed in terms there was no real set up for most and while not every character can get a big chase scene, but the killer shows up and dispatches of his victims and the death scenes themselves aren't anything special as this one very much lacks in the gore department for the most part. I'm a big fan of exploitation cinema and I loved Savage Streets, but I'm not sure Danny Steimann was the right choice for the series since he's more of an exploitation filmmaker and while there is some decent suspense at times, but in general its kind of light, but Danny Steinmann is successful at delivering an entertaining flick that's far better than its reputation. Steinmann who sadly passed away in 2012 only has 3 feature films to his credit and was actually gonna write and direct Last House on the Left Part II, which never got made, but I liked Danny Steinmann. He may not be the greatest filmmaker, but he had a style and made some fun films and I think he's a better filmmaker than given credit for.
The character of Tommy Jarvis was an interesting character as I stated earlier. I like how they brought him back and show what has become of him since his encounter with Jason. My only problem is the lack of dialogue. I get the point of the character, but one word answers throughout the movie does get a bit annoying at times. But even with that Tommy was likable I suppose or more like sympathetic. Ethel played by Carol Locatell was a riot! In my opinion she steals the show. I found the character to be hysterical and she really brings a lot of life to the movie. Pam played by Melanie Kinnaman was my favorite character in the movie. I thought Pam was an excellent heroine and Melanie Kinnaman with her performance gives the movie a touch of class. Shavar Ross gives a fun and spirited performance as Reggie and really helps elevate the film.
When all is said and done Friday the 13th: A New Beginning isn't the trash that it has been made out to be. By this time the Friday the 13th formula was wearing thin and A New Beginning offers a slight change to that. The biggest reason this movie is hated is for the lack of Jason. As I said before I'll say it again; even with Jason the movie would have been the same exact thing until the final few minutes and again if the movie was that bad, those final few minutes wouldn't have made this movie any better. A New Beginning has its problems, but despite those it is a fun movie and hardly the worst of the series.

But because I took pics for our listing (coming soon!) I thought I'd show your our master, finally.
Let me preface this by saying our master has never ever looked this way. We don't live this way. We actually haven't slept in our master since we got back from NYC. We're trying to get used to a queen size bed. Its not going well. thanks for asking.
So our master is in a perpetual state of "staged" so its looking pretty flawless.
I just want you to know that I could have totally lied and you would have been so impressed by my housekeeping skills. But I didn't. Cuz we're friends. and friends don't lie about their housekeeping abilities.
First the before…. with an interesting, baby food squash wall color.
View from the bathroom door. Deck is to the left, door to the hallway is to the right.
View from the bed. See that giant blue armoire? I love it dearly. Unfortunately, its too massive for NYC. I will cry and grip it with white knuckles when we leave….
Our master bath. I will miss this. dearly. I will have to share a sink with my husband in the near future. And that will be harder than adjusting to a queen size bed.
Our tub and my vintage stool. This tub is wonderful but that window looks out onto the golf course so its all about being careful. And shutting the blinds.
