My name is Mohammad Nazzal i'm 18 Years old and have 3 years experience of Unity3D Engine. however after a week i will start university.
Today i met my cousin who studied Software engineering and working in a big company and he knows a lot about the trending games and the engines used in that game, So i asked him "Is Unity3D Game engine worth working on it after the university like a job ?", he said "No" then he told me "tell me about the trending games right now like fortnite , PUBG ..ETC, they are all using Unreal engine" and if you want to get a game development job you should learn Unreal engine instead of Unity3D so you could work in Triple-A Studios ..
guys be serious with the answer and forget the domain "ArmedUnity"
Thank you bro , Honestly i totally agree with you but just want to ask this question... even i can't see myself working on another game engine.
Mohammed, making games is not about trending. Which mean, you should not care much about who is in the top right now. Unity engine is really great and have great features for games and apps also. It 's all about you and what you going to present. Skyrim made by engine call "GameBRYO", take a look at it and compare it with unity3d. For money, This industry is growing day by day and getting better than both movie and music industry. I don't think your cousin is had good knowledge about game devs. Tell us after three years with unity, what you could make?
Don't want to sound like a unity fanboy, but Unreal Engine is so bad when it comes to load times, i can find a wife and get two kids until my game loads if its on hdd.
It also frustrating that its not very friendly when it comes to minimizing the application.
Unity is not going anywhere, its a great platform for starters and indie companies and imo indie companies often produce better quality games than some triple A games.
Cities skylines who is such a complex and content filled game is also made in unity. Engine doesn't mean anything. I mean look at valve and their source engine games. They all contain closed areas because engine is designed to have rooms, even outside areas are rooms. Then look what Respawn did with source engine. Titanfall 2 is still a stunning game and apex is open just like any unreal engine game.
It's all about the developer how they execute the idea.
Unity engine has evolved way too much since I started using it. The features they brought are up to standards.
And its not from epic games, who are in eyes of whole gaming community for having bad business decisions.
And unity ain't owned by tencent.

Man's Regrets: Would that I had stood by the Messenger!
March 09, 2021 Jalal HB No comments
Continuing with our series of selected verses on Man's Regrets on the Day of Resurrection, we share today a very important post in which those who had been denying the message that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought to them as the last of the messengers and prophets of Allah will bite their hands and regret for not having listened to the Divine Commandments, the negation of which have brought him to this regretful day.
The purpose of this series of posts is to forewarn those who do not believe in the last messenger and Prophet of Allah and The Qur'an which is the last revealed scripture of Allah till the Day of Resurrection, to still find the ultimate truth before it is too late, for regretting on the Day of Resurrection will bear no escape from the wrath that awaits them for denying Allah's commandments.
This verse is equally applicable to those who though love the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but do not act upon his Sunnah or the Hadith and finding other wordily deities to follow and revere them more than Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The following verse is the 27th verse of Surah 25. Al Furqan:
وَيَوۡمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰى يَدَيۡهِ يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِى اتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوۡلِ سَبِيۡلًا
(25:27) a Day when the wrong-doer will bite his hands, saying: "Would that I had stood by the Messenger!
Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Here Allah tells us of the regret felt by the wrongdoer who rejected the path of the Messenger and what he brought from Allah of clear truth concerning which there is no doubt, and followed another path. When the Day of Resurrection comes, he will feel regret but his regret will avail him nothing, and he will bite on his hands in sorrow and grief.
Whether this Ayah was revealed concerning `Uqbah bin Abi Mu`it or someone else among the doomed, it applies to every wrongdoer, as Allah says: (On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire) as mentioned in those two Ayat [33:66] Every wrongdoer will feel the ultimate regret on the Day of Resurrection, and will bite at his hands, saying: (O! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger. Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as an intimate friend!) meaning, the one among the propagators of misguidance who diverted him from true guidance and led him to follow the path of misguidance, whether this refers to Umayyah bin Khalaf or his brother Ubayy bin Khalaf, or to someone else.
Muhammad Asad Explanation: Lit., "taken a path with the apostle". The terms "the apostle" and "the evildoer" are here obviously used in their generic sense, applying to all of God's apostles and all who consciously reject their guidance. Similarly, the expression "so-and-so" (fulan) occurring in the next verse circumscribes any person or personified influence responsible for leading a human being astray.
Yusuf Ali Explanation: The words are general, and for us the interest is in a general sense. A man who actually receives the Truth and is on the right path is all the more culpable if he is diverted from that path by the machinations of a worldly friend. The particular person whom some Commentators mention in this connection was one 'Uqba who received the light of Islam, but was misled afterwards by a worldly friend into apostasy and blasphemy. He came to an evil end afterwards.
You may listen to the explanation of the verse 27 (and the following three verse) from eminent Muslim scholar, exegete, teacher and linguist Nouman Ali Khan:
May Allah help us understand Qur'ān and help us to act upon the commandments of Allah contained therein. Aameen.
For more Selected Verses, please refer to our reference page: Selected Verses from the Qur'an. You may also refer to our Reference Pages for knowing more about Islam and Qur'ān.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully.
An effort has been made to gather explanation / exegesis of the surahs / verses (ayat) of the Qur'ān from authentic sources and then present a least possible condensed explanation of the surah. In that:
The plain translation has been taken from the Qur'ān officially published by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. [1]
The exegesis of the chapters of the Quran is mainly based on the "Tafhim al-Qur'an - The Meaning of the Qur'an" by one of the most enlightened scholars of the Muslim World Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi. [2]
Please share this page to your friends and family members through Facebook, WhatsApp or any means on Social Media so that they can also be benefited by it and better understand Islam and the Qur'ān - Insha Allah (Allah Willing) you shall be blessed with the best of both worlds.

Perry Will Not Seek Re-Election, Second Special Session Continues
Published July 8, 2013 at 12:54 PM CDT
The Texas State Capitol (StateImpact Texas Photo/Mose Buchele).
Texas Governor Rick Perry announced he will not seek re-election during a news conference this afternoon (July 8) in San Antonio. Perry is currently the state's longest-serving governor.
Perry began his remarks highlighting the economic successes of the state, calling Texas "the new frontier for innovation in America today."
"Texas Works. Jobs prove it. Revenue Proves it. The number of people moving here proves it. Texas works because we have less government," commented Perry.
Perry also referenced Texas's second special legislative session, which began on July 1. Perry called the second session to pass restrictive abortion regulations. The initial attempt was blocked through a filibuster by Democrat Wendy Davis of Fort Worth.
"Texas is and will remain a strong pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom state," said Perry.
The Texas Senate Committee on Health & Human Services began a public hearing this morning on abortion procedures, providers and facilities. Over 2,000 people are expected to testify, and proceedings are likely to continue late into the night.
For more information on the abortion bills, Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 2, check out this Texas Tribune interactive feature comparing Texas's proposed abortion regulations with laws in other states.

Los Angeles Angels  - drużyna baseballowa grająca w zachodniej dywizji American League, ma siedzibę w Anaheim w stanie Kalifornia.

Historia
Zespół dołączył do Major League Baseball w 1961 roku pod nazwą Los Angeles Angels, a w roli gospodarza swoje mecz początkowo rozgrywał na stadionie Wrigley Field w Los Angeles o pojemności 20 500. W latach 1962–1965 Angels korzystali z obiektu Los Angeles Dodgers Dodger Stadium. W 1966 przeniesiono siedzibę klubu do Anaheim, gdzie powstał nowy stadion Anaheim Stadium o pojemności ponad 43 tysięcy miejsc, jednocześnie zmianie uległa nazwa klubu na California Angels.

W sezonie 1979 zespół osiągnął bilans 88–74 i po raz pierwszy w historii klubu wygrał dywizję, jednak uległ w American League Championship Series Baltimore Orioles 1–3. Kolejny awans do postseason nastąpił trzy lata później, gdzie w Championship Series Angels przegrali z Milwaukee Brewers 2–3. W 1986 zespół ponownie uległ w tej serii rozgrywek, Boston Red Sox 3–4. W związku z renowacją stadionu, który trwał od 1996 do 1998, 16 listopada 1997 klub zmienił nazwę na Anaheim Angels; zmieniono także nazwę obiektu na Edison International Field of Anaheim.

W sezonie 2002 Angels po wyeliminowaniu New York Yankees w Division Series, a następnie Minnesota Twins w Championship Series, awansowali do World Series, gdzie pokonali San Francisco Giants w siedmiu meczach i zdobyli pierwszy tytuł mistrzowski w historii klubu. 29 grudnia 2003 doszło do zmiany nazwy stadionu na Angel Stadium of Anaheim, zaś 3 stycznia 2005 w celu promocji miasta Anaheim, zmieniono nazwę klubu na Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Od 2003 zespół pięciokrotnie uzyskiwał awans do postseason, jednak ani razu nie wystąpił w World Series. Przed rozpoczęciem sezonu 2016 klub zmienił nazwę na Los Angeles Angels.

Gay in Nunavut: New film to be screened at Capital Pride event
"It's amazing to see people take their pain and sadness and turn it into activism and change"
By COURTNEY EDGAR

Mark Woods and Michael Yerxa, directors of the self-made film Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things, in Iqaluit last October. (PHOTO COURTESY MARK WOODS)
SPECIAL TO NUNATSIAQ NEWS
OTTAWA — The concept of "Pride" in Nunavut is sometimes lost in translation.
According to a new documentary film, a principle of Inuit culture is not to show too much pride. The word "pride" in the lesbian and gay sense may be new to the North but that doesn't mean homosexuality itself is new. In fact, there is an Inuktitut word for lesbian which translates as, "two soft things rubbing together."
A recent film exploring what it's like to be queer in Nunavut will première in Ottawa on Aug.19 at Dundonald Park, as part of Capital Pride, one of three screenings of Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things across Canada that week. The film already made its grand première screening in Iqaluit in June.
Directors Mark Woods and Michael Yerxa believe their documentary offers important opportunities for both Nunavummiut and Canadians in general to understand a major part of our country's history and the stories of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered or Queer identities in the territory.
"Southern Canadians know next to nothing about Nunavut," said Yerxa. "As two educated individuals, we were both embarrassed with how little we knew of the territory and its people before this project.
"I think it's vital to learn how colonialism, Christian missions and government programs have impacted the greater territory but also how these initiatives have impacted ideas around sexuality and gender."
The effects of colonization, Christian missions and residential schools on sexual practices was devastating, Woods says, and yet the Truth and Reconciliation Commission never acknowledged the impacts they had on queer and two-spirit people.
"I think because Pride means something completely different in Inuktitut, there has definitely been some tension regarding throwing a more southern style 'Pride' event," said Yerxa.
The film was inspired after reading news articles about Pride events in Nunavut in 2014. The filmmakers were immediately intrigued.
"Typically, making a film is more of a marathon," said Yerxa, "but our film was a full-blown sprint."
Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things was shot over just three-and-a-half days in Iqaluit, a half-day in Ottawa and a half-day in Toronto. It was then edited over the course of four months.
"It may sound insane to have filmed in such a short period of time, but the film was self-funded," explained Woods.
Since 2015 Pride events were fast approaching, they didn't have time to seek substantial funding and could only afford to spend three days in Nunavut.
While making the film, Woods learned that there's still a tendency for some religious people to blame homosexuality on the sexual abuse suffered at residential schools and then ignore the fact that the abusers were their own clergy.
This comes across clearly in the story of Nuka Fennell, 24, who left Nunavut to live in Ottawa — choosing homelessness and uncertainty rather than discrimination and abuse. In the film, Fennell, who uses the pronoun "they," says that while living in Nunavut, they were often treated "like something traumatic happened" to make them this way, like they were a monster.
If Fennell had had the chance to watch a film like as a teenager, life would have been different.
"I would have been able to see that other people had gone through it too," Fennell said. "And that there are adults who are supportive."
"It's a complicated and painful discussion to have," said Woods, "but it was such a powerful example of how the effects of colonization continue in the present."
One of the film's many goals was to begin a conversation, the directors say, and they encourage Inuit to continue that conversation.
After the trailer for Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things was put online, Woods received emails from across Nunavik, the Northwest Territories and Labrador from LGBTQ [Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered or Queer] Inuit youth, reaching out to say thanks for making them feel less alone.
"Many LGBTQ Inuit, particularly in smaller communities, haven't seen other LGBTQ Inuit and they certainly haven't heard about the possibility of these identities existing before colonization," he said.
"I think seeing a strong Inuk woman like Jesse Mike openly talk about her partner, her daughter, her struggles and her discussion with elders can bring a lot of hope to Inuit from these smaller communities because they really aren't alone, and never were."
The documentary has received attention from the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity, school boards and teachers across the country who want to use it in their classrooms.
The most surprising things the directors discovered included ways in which youth are currently making change.
"They just sent us pictures of their second 'Pride Prom' at Inuksuk High School," said Woods. "My old high school still hasn't done that. And it's the youth that are pushing for these kinds of things."
"It's amazing to see people take their pain and sadness and turn it into activism and change," said Yerxa.
Fennell found that part of the film empowering.
"Those were the same hallways I got beat up and choked in," said Fennell. "Where I had zero support from the staff. Seeing these queer kids thriving and knowing it is a safe space makes me feel proud about my community."
To Yerxa, the fact that they are community outsiders and non-Inuit made them wonder whether the story of LGBTQ identities in Nunavut was theirs to tell. In the end, they felt the story was too important not to document, even if they are southerners.
"We really wanted to let the LGBTQ community in Iqaluit tell their own story in their own words. And documentary is the perfect format for that. We didn't interview people, we had conversations with people," Woods added. "There's no narration. Everything comes from the mouths of locals, as it should."
The two directors said they hope the film continues to facilitate an evolution around gender identity in the North – that LGBTQ Inuit exist and some don't feel comfortable living in their skin. They also hope it encourages more resources and inspires heterosexual people to become stronger allies with the LGBTQ community in Nunavut and beyond.
You can catch the screening of Two Soft things, Two Hard Things at Dundonald Park in Ottawa at 9 p.m., Aug. 19. The launch of the Two Spirit Inclusion Campaign runs prior to the screening at 8:30 p.m.

Mecum's three-day November auction in Las Vegas provided some fodder for commentary. I'll concentrate on the at least reasonably stock 1980s cars (and a few trucks) that sold (remember that Mecum auctions are not no reserve auctions—a white 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster with tan leather seats and 31,000 miles was a no sale bid up to $150,000) and add some of my opinions. Eighties vehicles were about 5% of the 577 vehicle lots sold in this auction.
1981 silver Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible with blue seats, a 155 bhp 3.8 liter/234 ci V8 with fuel injection, and an automatic—$9,000 hammer price.
1988 maroon Toyota Celica ST coupe with red cloth seats, a 2S-ELC 2.0 liter/119 ci inline four with fuel injection, an automatic, and 40,000 miles—$6,250 for this generation of Celica rarely seen at auction.
1988 Toyota Celica ST, linked from Mecum's website.
1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE, linked from Mecum's website.
1986 white Spartan II coupe with a gray leather seats, a VG30 160 bhp 3.0 liter/181 ci V6 with fuel injection, and an automatic transmission—$21,000 for this "neo-classic" based on a Datsun/Nissan 300ZX chassis.
1981 red Toyota Land Cruiser SUV with gray vinyl seats, a 2F 135 bhp 4.2 liter/258 ci inline six with a carburetor, and a four-speed manual—at $45,000, the first vehicle in this auction to meet my criteria for serious 1980s collectability of mostly or entirely original cars or trucks: selling for equal to or above its original base list price. I'll mark these vehicles in bold green.
1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa, linked from Mecum's website.
1980 white Chevrolet Corvette Duntov Turbo convertible with red velour seats, a 5.7 liter/350 ci V8 with a turbocharger, an automatic, and 15,000 miles—$28,000 for this rare car.
Among eighties vehicles, Chevrolets dominated this auction, with 42% of the sold lots from that decade. Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota also had notable representation. What do you think of these results?

U.S. District Attorney says criminals are using social media to intimidate witnesses into silence
Posted by: Gregory Hoyt| December 4, 2020 |Categories Featured, Investigations, Must Reads, News
BALTIMORE, MD – U.S. District Attorney for the District of Maryland, Robert Hur, recently shared his comments on the evolution of witness intimidation – namely, the use of social media to scare people away from testifying or reporting crime.
"If you touch a witness, we are going to bring you to justice"https://t.co/oNT12xS0Zg
— FOX Baltimore (@FOXBaltimore) December 3, 2020
The city of Baltimore happened to be home to the "Stop Snitchin' campaign" back in 2004, back when a DVD titled "Stop Snitching!" began circulating two years after the murder of Angele and Carnell Dawson and their five children were murdered for reporting crime to police in Baltimore.
But times have changed in the era of intimidating witnesses.
It's no longer DVDs making the rounds or people wearing t-shirts in courtrooms that say "stop snitching". Now the name of the game is plastering people's pictures online and alleging they're cooperating with criminal investigations.
Some are reportedly even posting people's pictures online and attempting to extort them for money in order to have their respective "snitch" allegations removed.
"It's dangerous, real dangerous": In recent weeks a number of Instagram pages have popped up dedicated to exposing police cooperators around Baltimore. In one case a page was openly extorting people, saying "Only CashApp will get you off this page." https://t.co/FX1PvqGRx2
— Justin Fenton (@justin_fenton) November 29, 2020
Hur commented on the rising trend:
"They're using social media for example to post pictures of people. They label them as cooperators, and threaten physical harm to them."
But Hur says that investigators have little tolerance for said practices, noting that any illegal activities by these intimidators will be prosecuted:
"I want the message to get out there, if you touch a witness, we are going to bring you to justice. It might take a little while but we are going to bring you to justice."
The only caveat being that when one social media page is removed, another seems to crop up just as quickly. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office is also quite savvy to the social media efforts to intimidate witnesses.

A statement was recently released by Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby reads as follows:
"We are aware of these social media pages, and are actively working with our law enforcement partners to investigate them. Witness intimidation has evolved with technology like everything else in our world today."
The released statement emphasized the importance of witnesses coming forth to help secure convictions to get criminals off the streets:
"Recognizing that it would be virtually impossible to obtain convictions without the trust and cooperation of the community, our latest campaign is the most recent milestone in our commitment to keeping victims and witnesses safe and informed."
The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office has recently dedicated a resource page online in concurrence with a tip line and series of public service announcements aiming to combat these intimidation efforts.
The PSAs, which are appearing on both radio and television, offer perspectives that detail accounts of:
"[F]amily members who have been impacted by crime, while highlighting an array of victim and witness services such as court accompaniment, victim and witness relocation, sign language interpreters, victim impact statements, arrangement of transportation to court, and grief counseling."
Those within the Baltimore area looking to learn more about these efforts can visit TogetherWeAreStronger.com, and also anyone with tips on ongoing investigations or to report criminal activity in Baltimore can call 1-877-SAO-4TIP.
Speaking of people not cooperating with police and coming forward, it has been seven months since 4-year-old Nathaniel Mesiah Roby-Townsend was killed in Detroit, Michigan.
And people are reportedly scared to come forward for fear of being labeled a "snitch".
Here's that previous report.
DETROIT, MI.- On May 21, a 4-year-old boy was shot and killed on the west side of Detroit when someone fired shots into a house, striking the child. The boy was taken to the hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds.
The boy was identified by family members as Nathaniel Mesiah Roby-Townsend. On the same night, a 3-year-old girl was shot in front of her mother and 12-year old brother.
"What I'm describing in both instances is cowards—cowards who can't settle disputes without a gun," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said at the time, according to Fox 2 Detroit.
The two shootings happen just two hours apart.
"They killed my grand baby," said Pansey Glaster, grandmother of Nathaniel.
The little boy was visiting her home and was eating a snack, walking from the kitchen to the living room.
"Next thing we know we heard shots (someone) shot him and killed him," Glaster said.
The child was hit twice; police have said they have a person of interest in that case, who is currently hospitalized. Chief Craig said he understood the desire to retaliate, but asked people not to.
"Don't do it, because we'll find you as well."
"There has been some light conversation from the street," Craig said. "There are some who know who did the shooting and they're going to retaliate."
In the other incident, Ry'liee Bailee, who had just turned three was in a care with her mother and her brother, and she was sitting in her car seat. They were picking up the child's uncle at a home around 10 p.m. when a fight broke out in the middle of the street. The 12-year-old alerted his mother that he saw a gun.
"They were just sitting outside waiting for him to come out," said Kaneisha Brown, Ry'liee's aunt. "Next thing you know, shots fired."
The child was shot in the stomach, with the bullet puncturing her liver. She underwent surgery and is recovering from her wounds. As in the first case, Detroit police had a suspect as well, a man named Brandon Johnson.
The Detroit News reported that police had information on the suspects.
"The suspects opened fire on this mother with two children, for what reason, we absolutely don't know," the chief said. "The good news is we know that the suspects are described as three male blacks, possibly in a Chevy Equinox who are between the ages of 20 and 25 years old."
"Detroit Police Department is committed to solving these two cases," Craig said. "It's tragic. Once again, another cowardly act."

"We know who you are," Craig said. "Brandon Johnson, we need you to turn yourself in"
Nathaniel's family is coming forward after the leads about a possible suspect in his murder have apparently gone cold. Now the family is pleading for help in the case.
Marlisha Roby had trouble getting words out as she spoke about her 4-year-old son, needlessly taken away by selfish losers with a gun.
"I just want to say. I want justice for my son. He was only 4 years old. He didn't deserve none of this. He was too jolly; he didn't get a chance to live his life."
"Please, is there anybody out there who knows anything?" said Roby.
"Y'all don't know what it feels like to see a 4-year old boy with a hole in his chest the size of a bottle cap?" said Nathaniel's father, Nathaniel Townsend.
"He didn't even make it to kindergarten. He just started school in September. The only thing he liked doing was dance, be with his family, play outside. Whoever did this, y'all some cowards. "Y'all some cowards. I hope you rot in hell. Your whole family. I hope I be there to spit on your grave, and I know that's harsh, but I hope that, said Roby.
Crime Stoppers has authorized a reward in the case of $2,500. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

Home Analysis Chelsea skipper linked to sinking Premier League club
Chelsea skipper linked to sinking Premier League club
Gary Cahill is rumoured to be on his way from Chelsea to Fulham.
According to reports, Claudio Ranieri's side is weighing up a loan move for the Englishman, especially with Timothy Fosu-Mensah's set to return to Manchester United.
The 33-year-old has fallen further down the perking order since Maurizio Sarri's summer arrival.
Cahill, technically still the Blues skipper has garnered just 21 minutes of Premier League football so far this season.
The duo of Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz have been preferred by the Italian with Andreas Christensen as backup.
"I respect him very much because he has won everything with this club," Sarri said last month.
"I have to do my job. Every match, I have to choose. For me, he is not able to [be] on the bench.
"Maybe he is the best in the box, but our defenders may play 100 or 110 balls in a match so I need very technical defenders."
Cahill was a key member of the Blues squad that won the Champions League, Europa League, two Premier League's, an FA Cup and a League Cup.
The 33-year-old has just six months left on his current deal.
He was linked with several sides in the winter, with Fulham and Arsenal the most keen.
But both deals fell through, probably due to the ex-Bolton stars' excessive wages.
Cahill is believed to be earning around £130,000-per-week at Chelsea and isn't willing to take a pay cut.
The Cottagers could break the bank to land him and Ranieri's men crashed 3-0 at home on Saturday to further stress their need for more defensive quality.
The London side is 19th in the league with 17 points – only Huddersfield have less.
However, in terms of goals conceded, Fulham is the worst in the entire division.
They have shipped in an alarming 58 goals – 10 more than the side rock-bottom in the league.
With such dreadful defence, relegation is a reality rather than a nightmare.
Cahill will likely rundown his contract at Stamford Bridge – meaning he can only move in the summer.

Book Review: Ice by L.J. LaBarthe
Posted on February 25, 2014 by Nikyta
Title: Ice
Author: L.J. LaBarthe
Heroes: Koby & Mircea
Genre: M/M Futuristic Fantasy
Publisher: Less Than Three Press
Available at: Less Than Three Press, Amazon , All Romance eBooks & Barnes and Noble
Blurb: Koby is a graduate student specializing in the cohabitation of dead and living cells in a single body, a course of study that requires he spend two years working in the labs at the parium mines in Antarctica, where he will assist in experiments conducted on the vampire prisoners kept there.
Expecting little more than a tedious assignment, despite the dangers of the environment and the dangerous vampires sentenced to the mines for life, Koby instead discovers a dome of horrors, where the persons in charge cannot be trusted and the greatest victims are the prisoners—and the most incongruous place to discover a new love. If he cannot solve the problems destroying the dome from the inside, the vampires won't be the only ones to die.
This is a peculiar story about Koby who has been contracted to work in Antarctica as part of his contract for his Doctorate degree. Thinking working in a parium mine will be boring and easy, he's very unprepared for what it really is: a place where imprisoned vampires mine the parium where no torture is off limits to them. Horrified at what he sees, he and a few of his colleagues, with the help of his friend Ivo, devise a plan to not only free the vampires but take down the very man who approves of such horrors.
There's a good cast of characters in this one. Our main guy is Koby, who is the scientist on his way to studying the cohabitation of dead and living cells in a single body. He's eager but nervous and very confused when he meets the criminal, Mircea. Mircea is the old, wise vampire that has made peace with the life he has, although he still wishes to kill the very men who make his life so bad. Other characters include Sophie and Ivo who give Koby the courage to do what he ultimate does and a few other minor characters that make it all happen.
The plot of this story is very intriguing. The fact that vampires are widely known and, more or less, accepted interests me a great deal. How Earth has completely ruined its ozone to the point that only something called parium is able to keep the atmosphere intact, is very intriguing. I liked that the author decided to go with this because it opened the story up to a lot of possibilities and made for some interesting discoveries.
At the same time, while the story had a lot of potential, I don't think it lived up to it. I loved that it was set in the future but I also felt like I was missing a lot of the background story to completely understand not just the parium was used but the vampires and how they came to be so known. I also felt like a lot of the important parts where skipped over. I would have liked to see exactly how the vampires managed to leave or what Koby had to go through during the two year separation between him and Mircea. As it were, a lot of it is skipped, ignored or told very briefly to the point that it wasn't very satisfying.
Beyond that, if you're looking for a romance, this isn't the right story for you because while there is romantic elements towards the end (the date is very sweet), it doesn't come into play until literally the end. By that point, I didn't feel a connection between Koby and Mircea. All I really knew was that there was some bone-deep pull Koby had towards Mircea but did Mircea feel the same? I could never really tell 😦
In the end, I won't deny that I still liked the story. There was a lot that I felt was missing that made the book feel almost like an outline but I enjoyed this author's writing and found the world that she managed to create fascinating. I really wished it had been longer so that not only could the events be more detailed but we could actually see the connection and relationship between Koby and Mircea.
Overall Impression: It was good!
*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for a fair and honest review.*

The one and only of the United States that is located in Oceania, Hawaii is also the most recent to receive statehood in 1959. The isolated islands are well known for their rugged landscapes, waterfalls, tropical plants and beautiful beaches of gold, red, black and green sands. Honolulu is the biggest city, and is where you'll find Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor's memorials from WWII.
Ahead of your trip to the Pacific Paradise, remember to fill out your ESTA application at least 72 hours before you are set to travel. Once you're approved you'll then be allowed entry into the USA for up to 90 days.
This memorial is an impressive 184 feet and honours the 2,388 Americans who sadly lost their lives during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Starting with a short, but informal documentary, the tour then takes you by boat to the memorial, or alternatively you can travel by bus from Waikiki. The excursion is free, you just need to queue up for a ticket as spaces each day are limited, get there early to allow yourself plenty of time, plus it can get really busy. The site is currently of scientific interest as archaeologist Jessica Keller conducts dives as part of research being conducted on the structure of the USS Arizona.
Volcanic eruptions are one the most fascinating (and yet terrifying) natural occurrences of the planet and are responsible for most of the landscape of the world as we know it. At this educational attraction you can learn from the knowledgeable tour guides about the formations of volcanic rocks and see a real life lava flow. The admission fee of $10 provides entrance for up to seven days. There is a variety of trails, all of which with stunning views that you should take your time to enjoy. It can be quite a lengthy walk, but you can take a car and drive yourself between the lookouts if you prefer.
The most popular beach in all of Hawaii, Waikiki is conveniently located near some of the top hotels which makes it ideal for a spontaneous afternoon. The golden white sands are stunning with a fantastic atmosphere for relaxing, swimming, paddling and even surfing. The beach is large so there is plenty of room for visitors, even during peak holiday season, although it can then get a little crowded. There is a long stretch that is ideal for an evening stroll and there are a number of shops close by for when you need to cool with an ice cream or a cold drink.


The Riviera town of Rapallo celebrates it's patron saint in style. A 3-day celebration of fireworks and processions honors the Madonna di Montallegro, whose santuario and basilica lie in the mountains above the village, accessible easily by car or more amusingly by cablecar, which swings through the Ligurian mountains over the Gulf of Tigullio below.
As the town divides itself into "quarters" based on districts, each year a different district is responsible for honoring the patron saint of the city on the day that she first appeared to a farmer in the mountains above. The different sestrieri are all color coded and full of neighborhood pride, as the long seaside promenade is filled with food stands and long picnic tables serving local food, each neighborhood eyeing the others nightly offerings with a healthy rivalry.
After dinner, the sestrieri salute each other with fireworks, and honor the Madonna with a breathtaking display that takes hours. Perhaps the most incredible is the symbolic burning of the castle, during which the stone castle that normally stands guard somberly in the gulf is covered in firework flames, dripping in red, white and green, drawing smiles and gasps from visitors and locals alike.

People describe me as a "seasoned consultant and business leader". They mean I have enough experience to place business issues in context, to challenge and advise on strategies and people, and, when needed, attract the right executives.
In an earlier life I served on the Management Boards of a large global industrial company leading units in life sciences, chemicals, plastics and construction products. I have managed businesses of all sizes across 20 countries and have enjoyed living in the UK, Belgium, France, Hungary, South Africa and Switzerland.
As a recent HRO Thought Leader of the Year nominee by the HRO Association, I enjoy a parallel life as an author and commentator on global developments in shared services and outsourcing. I also advise Corporate Boards on business transformation and chair a not-for-profit international school.
Born in Hungary and educated in the UK, I can find my way around in English, French and Hungarian, and if necessary, in rather poor Dutch.
If you prefer to work with an experienced consultant, who tells it like it is and retains a human touch, call me for a conversation.

Should You Be Worried About Artificial Food Dyes?
Sharmin Sampat
If you are a regular at Target, the quintessential American retailer, you might be glad to know that Target recently pledged to remove artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners and colors, including artificial trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup, from their Target-owned brand kids' foods by 2018. More than 75 percent of the store-brand kids' foods are already free of these ingredients. Market Pantry and Simply Balanced are Target-owned brands that sell items like macaroni and cheese, gummy fruit snacks, yogurts, granola bars, applesauce and crackers.

This move is a part of Target's Corporate Social Responsibility and sends a serious message to other retailers across the country. Other companies have stepped forward as well. In 2015, ALDI removed certified synthetic colors, partially hydrogenated oils and added MSG from their ALDI-owned brands. Whole Foods does not sell products containing artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or preservatives, or hydrogenated fats. A couple of years back, Kraft swapped the originally used Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 colors to naturally derived colors in their macaroni and cheese. Similarly, General Mills committed to eliminating artificial colors and flavors from their cereals over the next few years, and Mars launched a five-year effort to remove artificial colors from all of its (human) food products.

The FDA has approved nine color additives for use in the United States-including Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which comprise about 90 percent of all dyes used today. Although research has linked the use of these dyes with problems in children including hyperactivity, attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), irritability and aggressiveness, back in 2011, an FDA committee found there wasn't enough evidence to conclude that artificial food colors cause behavioral changes in children. But research since has continued to confirm the links. Last year, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit advocacy group, released a report, "Seeing Red," urging the FDA to require warning labels on foods containing artificial colors. CSPI submitted a letter to the FDA which included more than 2,000 complaints from parents, but no action was taken and regulations remain the same. There may be a causal relationship between food dyes and ADHD, but high-quality research on humans is required to know the true risk. In Europe, warning labels on foods with artificial colors are required and state, "food colorings may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children."

"Cleaner labels" are one of the hottest consumer trends right now, and many companies are striving to clean theirs up. It's important to remember, though, that a clean label does not necessarily mean a healthy product. Fruit juice is still more similar to soda than to whole fruit. It remains to be seen whether the FDA will change the regulations on artificial colors. Until then, if you're concerned about the amount of dyes in your food-or your kids' food-cut back on processed foods.

Many processed foods, like sugar-sweetened beverages and baked goods, contain these artificial food dyes. Heavily processed food products are low in nutritional value, and limiting them is key to eating a healthier diet. The safety of artificial colors aside, if you're eating dyed foods, you're also probably getting too much added sugar and fewer healthy nutrients. If you notice issues with your child's behavior, talk to your doctor. Regardless, it can't hurt to reduce kids' consumption of artificial food dyes. Kudos to the companies that are eliminating them. Choose products with natural colorants like beet, carotenes, annatto or turmeric, and keep your diet colorful the natural way by eating more fruits and vegetables.

Paste This in Your Hiking Guide
Posted on July 2, 2019 Categories: The Highlands Voice No comments yet
By Hugh Rogers
Two pages in the front of the new edition of the Monongahela National Forest Hiking Guide alert the reader to "Changes in This 9th Edition." Going beyond the headline, we included a map of a proposed trail system on Cheat Mountain (thanks to Greenbrier District Ranger Jack Tribble for the map). *
This summer, the first trails will formally open. Although work began three years ago, and they are marked on the map as "constructed," there remained final details, including trailhead signs. Lambert Ponds is an east-west trail linking the high country to Shavers Fork; Lambert Overlook is a short connector from Lambert Ponds to a forest road and reclaimed strip mines higher up on the ridge. (I haven't hiked the latter trail.)
Traveling there in mid-June, I stopped at two kiosks on FR 227 that described logging and mining on the Mower Tract, which the Forest Service acquired in the late 1980's, and current reforestation that required a major undoing of old-style mine reclamation. I learned that Don Gaudineer served as District Ranger from 1926 to 1934; a name that sounds like a certain type of Mountaineer now marks a high point east of the river, Gaudineer Knob. And I was pleased to see Devane Cussins's recollection of logging in the 1930's, from Voices of Shavers Fork(produced by Shavers Fork Coalition, 2002, under the direction of President Ruth Blackwell Rogers).
On Lambert Ponds Trail, mountain laurel was everywhere in bloom. Bullfrogs grunted from the catttails. A hooded merganser, agitated by my passing, steered her duckling zig-zag across a pond. Clear water poured down rocky overflow channels. Mountain bike tracks in a few wet places were the only signs of trail use. The views were wide and enchanting.
Here is a description to insert at p. 175 of the Hiking Guide. Two Forest Service roads mentioned here, FR 227 and FR 233, should be added to the list of Shavers Fork Area access roads on p. 174.
LAMBERT PONDS TRAIL approx. 2.5 mi
SCENERY: exceptional DIFFICULTY: moderate
CONDITION: good ELEVATION: 3840/3620
MAPS: Snyder Knob, and p. vii in MNF Hiking Guide 9th edition
SEGMENTS: (1) FR 227 to FR 233 approx. 2.5 mi
Lambert Ponds Trail runs from the Forest Service road south of US 250 on the western edge of Cheat Mountain to the road along the Shavers Fork. It begins south of and steeply above Lambert Run, follows embankments along old sediment control ponds below reclaimed strip mines, then drops to a former road beside the run and emerges at a designated camp site near Shavers Fork. Some of the ponds are completely filled in with cattails; most are open, home to ducks and frogs. For most of its length, the trail is grassy, passing through clumps of mountain laurel and occasional young spruce and maple, offering views to the north, east, and west. Hemlock, spruce, and hardwoods shade Lambert Run. The trail has blue blazes.
Access: the W trailhead is on FR 227, 3.2 mi S of US 250 (FR 227 is the road to the right where US 250, coming from Huttonsville, reaches the top of the mountain). A trail sign should be in place by August 1, 2019. Meanwhile, look for a parking area and a wooden stake just above the first pond.
The E trailhead is on FR 233, 3 mi S of US 250 at Cheat Bridge (turn off 250 just W of the bridge). Until August 1, 2019, when a trail sign should be in place, look for a faded sign marked "Camp Site." There is room here for several cars. The trail begins where the old road is blocked by boulders.
Segment 1: From FR 227, a faint track leads through goldenrod on the left side of a pond. Halfway along the pond is a blaze on a small spruce. Cross a narrow overflow ditch, then turn right before the next pond and continue E beside it. Follow blazes past a third pond and enter woods. The trail emerges from the trees onto an embankment. For the rest of its course, the trail is always on the N side of the ponds.
Where the ponds seem to end at a cattail-filled wetland, a blaze beside the trail has an arrow pointing back W, the way you came. Watch for the trail veering left (NE) and descending into woods. Cross an overflow channel. After this descent, the pond-side dike resumes. Cross another overflow, and at the end of this pond is a short climb up a rocky slope. At the top, to your right, a blaze on a young maple marks the beginning of the Lambert Overlook Trail, which goes S uphill into forest. Lambert Ponds Trail continues straight ahead past more ponds.
Near a large flat rock at the head of a pond, look for blazes facing back W shortly before the trail makes its final descent off the embankment and into thick forest. Cross an overflow run. As the map shows, the trail zigzags west and east again as it approaches Lambert Run. Follow the old road until it emerges into a cleared camp site on FR 233.
A short walk downhill will take you to a bridge across the run; on the N side, there is a path to the Shavers Fork.
* Note: The map and summary of changes in the new edition are inserted as pocket parts in copies of the 8th edition that we are donating to local libraries (see photos in last month's Voice). We want to keep the old Guide useful, not misleading!
