Chapter 2447 - The Dragon King Culprit
Chapter 2447: The Dragon King Culprit
Zhang Xiaohou was on a mission, and could not afford to stay for too long. He asked the head scout to regroup with the rest of the troop so they could continue on their journey.
The Flying Dragon beat its wings and flew higher into the sky.
The Flying Dragons usually flew at an altitude of over ten thousand meters, similar to most commercial flights, but not every creature could withstand the cold when flying at such an extreme altitude.
Zhang Xiaohou took a final worried glance at the ground as his mount was soaring into the clouds.
He could only see half of the land below because the thick clouds were obscuring things.
The gray buildings, as tiny as lego blocks, were scattered close to some gentle hills in the vast terrain. The area close to the mountains was most likely the main district of the county. The buildings were denser there than those close to the sea.
When the buildings were almost blocked off by the clouds, Zhang Xiaohou noticed round gray clouds engulfing some of those buildings.
The sky was silent as the strange phenomenon occurred on the ground. Zhang Xiaohou thought he was imagining things again.
Dive down! Zhang Xiaohou suddenly ordered.
His men had no idea what was going on. They only saw Zhang Xiaohou pulling the lead reins on the Flying Dragon. The majestic creature immediately dove from the sky!
The Flying Dragon did not fold its wings. It pulled its wings toward its tail, making its head and body into a long triangle. Its dive left two visible lines on both sides as its wings sliced through the air. It soon passed through the layer of clouds.
The others immediately followed and dove for the ground too, but the Triumphant Eagle Dragons were slower than the Flying Dragon. They were quickly left some distance behind.
Zhang Xiaohou gradually approached the ground. He could see the intertwining roads, patches of farmlands and wetlands, and people fleeing in panic.
However, he felt a shiver running down his spine when he noticed the buildings had all disappeared!
All the buildings were razed to the ground, as if they were destroyed by a celestial being. Their remains, now in the form of dust clouds, loomed over the district. Thousands of people were standing on the streets and staring at their surroundings like they were having a nightmare in total disbelief and fear!
Not a single building was left, including those with only a single story.
Even the strongest earthquake would not turn all the buildings into powder in just an instant. Most importantly, an earthquake would cause strong quakes and leave cracks in the ground everywhere.
However, the ground was perfectly fine without any sign of damage, yet the buildings of an entire county had all collapsed and turned into dust!
Zhang Xiaohou could not believe his eyes.
It would take a huge amount of power to cause such a terrifying phenomenon. Even a Great Ruler could not destroy the buildings so cleanly and silently!
However, Zhang Xiaohou did not notice anything strange as he searched the bald county.
There was no sign of a powerful demon creatures presence and no trails had been left behind by the culprit. The whole county had effectively disappeared, but its residents were all unharmed.
Some of the people were living in taller buildings, but the hills of dust the buildings had turned into cushioned their falls and saved their lives.
Whatwhat exactly just happened? Dont tell me the Dragon King is real? Hua Yuezhu blurted out after a prolonged silence.
If Hua Yuezhu had linked the phenomenon to the Bohai Dragon King, the residents who had been around for a long time would arrive at the same conclusion too.
The survivors soon dropped to their knees while facing the sea. They either lost their minds after being overwhelmed by fear, or were sincerely grateful toward the Dragon King for sparing their lives. Many were knocking their heads on the ground. It was quite a shocking sight!
The shocking incident in Luning County soon spread on the Internet.
There was no sign of demon creatures, and it did not seem to be caused by a Mage, either. It was like the work of a god, so more people started to believe the Bohai Dragon King was responsible for it.
Zhang Xiaohou could not stay in Luning County. There was nothing he could do since there was no sign of any demon creatures. He could not find any explanation for the incident, either.
However, Zhang Xiaohou could sense a strange atmosphere looming over Qinhuangdao.
The buildings were destroyed in virtually no time at all. What if the target was the people, who were far more fragile? Was it really a warning from the Bohai Dragon King? What would he do next to vent his wrath?
Zhang Xiaohou quickly reached Qinghuangdao City.
He was still lost in his thoughts. For some reason, he had a feeling the mission he had been assigned had something to do with the rumors of the Bohai Dragon King.
Beidaihe District
Beidaihe was a coastal resort town, but not many people were visible enjoying their day on the beach, most likely due to the incident that shocked the whole country.
A black-bearded middle-aged man in a brown military coat was walking slowly along a scenic path. The sea breeze was caressing his beard.
I heard about Beijiang. You did well, the man spoke.
Chief, is the incident in Luning County related to our current mission? Zhang Xiaohou asked attentively.
Pretty sharp, arent you? The wrath of the dragon king, huh? People always like to believe in rumors, the man sighed. Xiaohou, what do you think?
I think its terrifying. The cities are our foundation. The safe zones are established with relay stations, sentry towers, keeps, fortresses, and maritime battlefields on their perimeters. The coastlines are even guarded by dams, otherwise the sea monsters would be able to come and go freely. If something out there has the ability to turn them all into dust, the cities will soon turn into hunting grounds for the sea monsters and demon creatures! Zhang Xiaohou judged.
It seems like you are more alert than some of the old generals, the man smiled grimly.
The two kept walking along the beach. The man suddenly stopped and pointed at the sea and the islands within their range of vision. How far can you see? the man asked.
Around a dozen kilometers.
The water you can see now and the water further away are full of the culprits who destroyed Luning County. These things have always been in our territory. They are trying to destroy every defensive structure, dam, and building along our coastlines. Bohai is their nest. They are multiplying now, growing until they are strong enough to devour the Bohai, East, and South China Seas, the man declared with a slight hint of anger.
Zhang Xiaohou could sense his chiefs Aura. The waves were rolling in the opposite direction, and the tide was retreating from him, too!
The man continued before Zhang Xiaohou could say a word, The old clock tower in Shanghaiguan District has started its countdown.
Zhang Xiaohou was puzzled. He looked at the huge clock tower on top of a mountain in Shanhaiguan District. Chief, what is the countdown for? he asked.
The arrival of a Forbidden Curse!

Kim Jong Kook talks about his ideal type and pressure to find a girlfriend
Kim Jong Kook opened up about his ideal type and pressure to find a girlfriend.
On the December 17th episode of Mobidic's 'Jessi Show' on YouTube, Kim Jong Kook expressed, "When I was young, I liked someone who was a bit chubby. Now, it's more important to have good chemistry and communication than to look good."
As for if he's dating right now, the singer responded, "No one at all." He added, "I feel self-conscious actively looking for someone, and I can't bear to ask someone to set me up with someone. After being introduced, you have to ask to hang out after. I've been on one blind date in my life, but after that, I won't again."
In other news, Kim Jong Kook teased an upcoming single earlier this month.

He and Jessi have known each other a very, very long time and have a lot of mutual friends (in Korea and in the U.S.). I get where he now feels uncomfortable dating anyone because his marital status is so often a subject of public discussion. Anyone he dates would feel that pressure and neither of them would be able to date comfortably. Finding someone you want to get married to isn't that easy. It's not like you can go to a store and just pick someone out.

1st place in Talent, 1st place in Extemporaneous Speaking and two 3rd places in Essay Writing of our Lagro High School campus journalists convinced me that going to Baguio was worth the trip and the expenses. For why the NASSPHIL was ever created against the existing organizers of Student Leaders Congress is not of my utmost interest at present because the mere existence and the new Secretary of DepEd signed the said memorandum allowing the conduct of the said student leaders congress despite the previous organization's activities.
This is supposed to be a national competition but the number of participants were smaller than that of our annual Regional Secondary Schools Press Conference.
At least, I was able to get a snapshot of the new Secretary, Bro. Armin Luistro with my campus journalists.


At approximately 04:00 two truck trailer combinations from company X Transport were hijacked near Cornelia in the Free State.
On both the loads there were Mtrack asset protection units. Two positions were received from the units at Heidelberg and Roodekop. Agents recovered both loads within an hour of being stolen.
in the hijacking was also recovered.
During the operation, three suspects were arrested and two 9mm firearms confiscated.
The following day during follow up operations, another two suspects were arrested and a Fodin truck seized. Both suspects were part of the syndicate that had been investigated and the truck had been used on various occasions to move hijacked trailers and goods.
A total of 13 suspects were taken into custody. Hijacked goods to the value of approximately R7,000,000 were recovered, as well as all vehicles.

Routing guides are just sets of assumptions for shipping products, whether it be shipments out to customers, or materials in from suppliers. They include modes and carriers to use without actually validating on a shipment-by-shipment basis if that's really the best carrier. Essentially, routing guides are better than single sourcing to a provider, but consume a lot of time and still leave a ton of money on the table.
The majority of transportation management systems are built on static tables and/or routing guides. Very often we find color-coded maps of the US and Canada in the office of traffic managers. Carrier awarding is done at the region or state level. Even though the process is full of assumptions and limited use-case testing, a carrier is still deemed to be the best at a region or a state after the routing guide makes its selection. Routing guides are not always on paper or in a standalone excel spreadsheet. Your TMS may generate a single rate on one screen when prompted, but it's more than likely pulling from a static table that someone loads into the system. In either instance, these are costing the company huge amounts of money.
Let's take the state-to-state example; the typical process is to run a single scenario against the most common lanes in the last year and compare that same singular use-case to other carriers. For example, out of the 100 lanes in TX, for 40% of that one scenario, Carrier A was the least expensive, Carrier B won 25%, and Carriers C, D, E, & F split the rest. The routing guide says that all the freight going to TX will now use Carrier A. The shipper just, unknowingly, agreed to pay more than necessary on 60% of every lane in the state of Texas.
Carriers have preferences on the kind of freight they haul and where they go. Those preferences are reflected in their pricing. Let's say you built the routing guide on a typical order of 2 pallets and 1500lbs. Carrier A might love that freight in their network, but Carrier B gets really price-aggressive at 3 pallets, and Carrier C is very competitive on the floor minimums. The routing guide dictates that Carrier A gets all the freight resulting in significant lost savings. That same scenario may play out differently in a different geography, but the assumptions may hide the savings.
We can replace the routing guides and show you how to use your existing carriers most effectively, every single shipment. It is not uncommon to see clients save 16-21%, without renegotiating a single carrier contract.
Maintaining a routing guide is one of the most manual tasks in the traditional freight management process. And, because it's such a manual process to update pricing once each year, most shippers simply avoid the hassle and, instead, opt to do annual RFPs with their carriers to update their routing guide. This forces carriers to provide an oftentimes padded rate to ensure ample profitability over the course of a year.
Understanding that 2-3 months of time go into creating RFPs and the manual effort required to update a routing guide, routing guides often fall "out-of-date," and organizations may continue to select the suggested carrier listed, despite the fact that a competing carrier may offer a better price and transit.
When you use a routing guide to make carrier selections, you are missing the opportunity to save money with other carriers. For example, if another carrier enters a lane at a lower price than the carrier you were using, you wouldn't know you could save on freight spend until months later when it comes time to do another RFP. In that time, you are losing money on each shipment because your routing guide isn't up to date.
The moment a routing guide is published, it's out of date and still leaking dollars.
When operating off a routing guide, you're managing your own spreadsheet in a world to which the carrier doesn't have visibility. In this environment, shippers and carriers aren't given the proper communication tools to collaborate, promote growth, and create shared efficiencies.
Compare this to a system of live connectivity with your carriers, where you can work with your carriers to update or negotiate rates and terms depending on mutually beneficial factors. With live connectivity and the right technology platform, you can run meaningful reports to let your carriers know which lanes they can be more competitive on, therefore giving more business to that specific carrier, while improving your rates. This is possible with live connections because you have visibility to every facet of the freight management process.
1. It's yet another tool and manual process that falls between the cracks of the purchasing department and the traffic department, so it's relatively unmanaged.
2. If it's outdated (and it most likely is), then it's another area that's costing you savings.
3. Companies don't leverage the additional volumes of inbound shipments to get better rates with your carriers for your outbound freight.
Many companies are not taking control of their inbound freight. The suppliers are picking whichever carrier they want, and are very likely passing that cost onto you (it's not uncommon for suppliers to mark-up the cost of freight). We've seen savings of nearly 30% of a clients' inbound freight expenses once they take control of their Inbound freight.
An industry defined by constant movement shouldn't be held back by static rate tables or routing guides. The technology shift in the freight industry is changing everything about freight management. Shippers can now see quotes directly from each of their carriers on every shipment, and comparing quotes ensures you're always getting the best price. No more averages or assumptions; you can see total costs from every carrier, every time. Live connectivity is no longer merely an option in freight management—it's the new expectation. If you're updating a routing guide this year, we are here to help.

Maribeth Shanley's novel, A Crack in the World is a rough jagged read that draws a roadmap for recovery and self-discovery, albeit sometimes bumpy, for anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse. It's an honest story of how difficult self-acceptance and healing can be for a person who comes from a family built on a solid foundation of lies. It forces you to take a hard look at the damage one selfish and morally corrupt individual can wreck on a family and a community.
Maribeth Shanley wrote Crack in the World from her personal experience, intensifying the story's chilling realism. Shanley's characters and their relationships are drawn and developed with detail, authenticity, and feeling. Main character Emily ultimately frees herself from her father's abuse — but that doesn't immediately free Emily from the effects of the trauma she endured for years. Her trusted friends support her in her recovery process. The frank sexual content may be too much for some readers; the story and characters will ring true to survivors; and for those who have been spared that kind of suffering, the book offer a window into their reality.

Q: Determining Linux block path from Redfish Context: I am trying to automated a preseeded Linux installation on a Redfish-capable server. Ideally I want to keep this as vendor-agnostic as possible so I can support multiple types of servers (i.e. Dell, HP, Cisco, etc.), but I am working on a Dell R430 (iDRAC 8 with the latest firmware).
Description: I'm trying to find some reliable way to take information on a storage volume from Redfish and map this to a block device that Linux can understand so I can tell my installer what device to install to.
Example: I take two drives and using Redfish create myself a RAID-1 array. I now have this "Volume" object:
{
    "@Redfish.Settings": {
        "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#Settings.Settings",
        "@odata.type": "#Settings.v1_1_0.Settings",
        "SettingsObject": {
            "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Volumes/Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1/Settings"
        },
        "SupportedApplyTimes": [
            "Immediate",
            "OnReset",
            "AtMaintenanceWindowStart",
            "InMaintenanceWindowOnReset"
        ]
    },
    "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#Volume.Volume",
    "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Volumes/Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1",
    "@odata.type": "#Volume.v1_0_3.Volume",
    "Actions": {
        "#Volume.CheckConsistency": {
            "target": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Volumes/Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1/Actions/Volume.CheckConsistency"
        },
        "#Volume.Initialize": {
            "InitializeType@Redfish.AllowableValues": [
                "Fast",
                "Slow"
            ],
            "target": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Volumes/Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1/Actions/Volume.Initialize"
        }
    },
    "BlockSizeBytes": 512,
    "CapacityBytes": 199447543808,
    "Description": "Virtual Disk 0",
    "Encrypted": false,
    "EncryptionTypes": [
        "NativeDriveEncryption"
    ],
    "Id": "Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1",
    "Identifiers": [],
    "Links": {
        "Drives": [
            {
                "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Drives/Disk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1"
            },
            {
                "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Drives/Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1"
            }
        ],
        "Drives@odata.count": 2
    },
    "Name": "Virtual Disk 0",
    "Operations": [],
    "OptimumIOSizeBytes": 65536,
    "Status": {
        "Health": "OK",
        "HealthRollup": "OK",
        "State": "Enabled"
    },
    "VolumeType": "Mirrored"
}

Is there anything here that I can reliably use to figure out what the block device path will be in Linux? In this case, I know it is:
$ lsblk /dev/sdc
NAME              MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdc                 8:32   0 185.8G  0 disk
$ ls -al /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep sdc
scsi-361866da08170ff0026091a95033dd20a
wwn-0x61866da08170ff0026091a95033dd20a
$ ls -al /dev/disk/by-path/ | grep sdc
pci-0000:01:00.0-scsi-0:2:0:0

But so far I see no obvious way to get from the Redfish output to any of those values. Is there perhaps some other identifier on the Linux side that might get me closer so I can work backwards? Or somewhere else in Redfish I can query for the PCIe path? I do know iDRAC 9 can provide PCIe paths at the Chassis level but iDRAC 8 can't, but even then they do not seem to map in any way to these in-Linux paths.
First Edit: I have looked into using various tools on the Linux side to interrogate the RAID controller (megacli, perccli, several wrapper Python scripts to these like megaclisas.py), but so far nothing here helps with the mapping problem.

When priests tell people about future sufferings and make them do rituals, aren't they acting like hooligans who threaten people to extort money?
Not necessarily. They could be acting like doctors who alert patients about how they will become sick in future if they don't take treatment now. Their statements could be warnings, not threats. To understand the difference, we need to ask: who is causing the suffering? In the case of extortion threats, the hooligans are themselves the cause; they will inflict sufferings on those who don't give money. In the case of sicknesses, the doctors are the helpers in preventing the sufferings caused by something else like germs.
Similarly, the Vedic scriptures inform us that various sufferings come upon us due to the law of karma. This law is basically an expansion of the law of cause and effect that we intuitively accept in our daily life. All of us carry past karmic infections that will cause us to suffer in due course of time. An educated eye is needed to see how certain symptoms are precursors to future problems. The difference between seeing the symptoms of physical diseases and the signs of karmic consequences is just the difference in the kind of education needed.
Certain religious ceremonies help us atone for what we have done in the past. At the same time, not all religious rituals are necessary, just as not all medical prescriptions are necessary. Some doctors may give unnecessary prescriptions to inflate their earning and so may some priests. Just as we need to educate ourselves and choose our doctors carefully, so too with priests.

Hard-Science Fantasy? Why Not?
by Michael Pearce | Jan 21, 2014 | Blog
Hard-Science Heroic Fantasy. It seems like a contradiction of terms, but it really isn't.
In a fantasy novel everything should work and be technically feasible. Weapons, armor, combative techniques, building methods, transport, medicine and what have you. To me this is simply good craftsmanship and due diligence. If details like these are blatantly wrong it's going be off-putting to many readers and break immersion. In the Information-Age all the data you need are literally at your fingertips via the Internet. There's no real excuse to get these things wrong. Mind you they don't need to be exactly historically correct; we are talking about fantasy after all. But they have to be plausible to a wide variety of audiences with a wide knowledge-base. It's better to be vague than to be wrong.
Hard-Science SF is based in real science or theoretical science and is often centered around the ramifications of an emerging theory or technology. The rule about the Hard-Science SF is generally 'We'll give you one,' meaning you can have one 'magic' technology, a technology that doesn't conform to known scientific principles or that you don't explain. In the past this usually meant a faster-than-light drive system, though now of course there are actually people studying warp drive. In a Hard-Science Fantasy the 'One' given would be not merely a magical technology but actual magic.
Given that the author has paid attention to the details, what would make a Heroic or Epic Fantasy 'Hard Science?' The introduction of a technology that drives the story or that is necessary to the story. This technology can be well-established or the story could concern the chaos generated by the introduction of the technology. The point is that it changes the world, either shaping it to it's present form or disrupting the established order of things. In either case the story cannot happen without the technology.
Hard-Science Fantasy is not a common genre, but it's out there. Often the transformative technology is one form of firearm or another but it needn't be. It is felt that the introduction of coffee, a stimulant, to the west spurred the Industrial Revolution because people drank it instead of a depressant, alcohol. Any number of other technologies could have huge effects on society. What would the effect be of introducing Gaslight or even electrical lighting to the culture of a medieval city?
It's not always implausible to introduce an anachronistic technology to a fantasy setting. After all the Romans could have built repeating rifles if they knew what the were and wanted them badly enough. The ancient Greeks could have and nearly did build steam engines. Making electricity is easy enough if you know that you want to. So think about and toss in an anachronistic technology, add some swords-and-sorcery and you could really have something.

Niminae has left Wayfinder and transferred to Sarlona.
While I find it ridiculous that SSG actually charges their customers a fee to leave a lame server with a poor play experience to play on a server with a more robust play experience, this is sadly the case.
Wayfinder is, to my knowledge, the least populous DDO server, and it has less than half of the population of the next least populous server. This is a bad situation for a game that claims to be a MMO, because the "Massively Multiplayer" part of that acronym just does not apply when the server population numbers are so low.
I've had to leave behind all of my supporting mules, because transferring them is just out of the question financially. At the price of ~$15 per character transfer the ~$300 cost to move 20 characters just isn't going to happen. But for me it came down to playing on a server with a better MMO experience or just quit playing entirely.
Sarlona is a far more populous server. At any given moment there are more L30 characters on Sarlona than there are characters in total on Wayfinder. On Sarlona I can put up a pug LFM for any quest or raid at all and it will fill within minutes. On Wayfinder you can post a LFM and not get any interest for hours. This is not the experience of a couple weeks play speaking, this is the experience of several years play speaking.
I've posted the LFM numbers for Wayfinder vs. Sarlona and vs. Cannith on the forums. I did that across three days time, and my numbers spanned multiple hours in each day. The Wayfinder LFM numbers were almost always zero. Some people like to White Knight SSG and claim that low population numbers don't include people on Anonymous, or that any given snapshot is just reflecting a bad time of the day. And that might be true for a snapshot which only includes the numbers for any given day and hour and minute. But when I do this across three different servers, across three different days, and across many hours, that argument becomes specious. Wayfinder is a ghost town, and no amount of (rational) White Knighting can deny this fact.
I have left a lot of good people behind on Wayfinder. My Friends list is maxed out. The Knights of Power is a great guild with a lot of great people as members, and the guild leader is a wonderful person with a lot of history in the game going back to Beta. The social circles on Wayfinder are excellent, but they needed to be in order to try to overcome the limitations of the population. I wish you all the best, you are all great people who I will miss playing this game with. I wish that Wayfinder was a more populous server so that my move was not required, but as I said it was either move servers or move on to a different game entirely.
Back in 2014 I did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings Online. I absolutely hated the server I started on. After much research and creating characters on a few other servers, I spent $300 US and transferred 10 of my characters to a 'role play server'. I lost many of my friends, all my houses, and much of my wealth but the new server seemed so much more hopeful.
Unfortunately, my experience had an unhappy ending and I eventually quit that game entirely. Fate is a fickle Lady and the money I spent was completely wasted.
Your experience already seems more positive than mine was and I truly hope you find many new friends. :) A fantasy world is a very lonely place to walk alone.
Edit: I do not write of my personal experience simply to be negative. I am offering a warning to those who consider such a move. Do your research and make your selection with great care. I thought I did just that but it was not enough.
Just out of curiosity, did you know wayfinder was created for the Germans?
Bye Nim. It was fun gaming with you.
I heard that, too yes. But I am not really sure if it is really the case.
If they did a proper translation of the game, maybe it would have worked. But it was ludicrous, a joke, unplayable. More confusing than anything.
And I haven't seen any advertisement in relevant game publications. So I am not really sure, if it was explicitly for Germans. If so, they didn't target the right audience.
But nevertheless, this is another sad story from Wayfinder. I hope Nim finds what she/he is looking for on Sarlona.
It's a big step to take, so I hope it works out for you on Sarlona.
Not sure why you didn't go to Orien with its bajillion LFMS at all times, where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night. There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too, and you can paddle all around them in a big canoe.
Or for that matter to Khyber, which is where all the fun and raiding is (at least for now) and the best people are.
Anyway, good luck with it. We don't need to lose any more players or sensible forum posters either.
When I started playing? No. It was just a name in a list of names with nothing to distinguish them. I didn't find out that it was "the German server" until I went to submit a bug report and saw "Wayfinder (DE)" in the dropdown for servers.
Hey Nim. Sorry to see you go, but wish you the best of luck. I am thinking about making the same move myself. Take care.
You were lots of fun to group with, I am glad your on a server where your LFM's get filled. Hope you are enjoying the game.
Well done. You did the right thing.
I just started playing DDO two weeks ago, and have just reached level 7. I had just been learning the game play, and only yesterday started to look around for items I needed, specifically item enhancements, which I could not find, and then groups, none of which exists except at the highest levels. Today, I took a look at the server situation, only to discover that (not mentioned in server choices) this is a German language server. I chose the server because the choices said "population normal" and I liked the name "Wayfinder" (which does not sound remotely German). A couple hours ago, I reviewed the rules on server transfer, only to discover that if I wanted to transfer I would have to pay about $20. That is ludicrous.
I chose to start DDO because Dofus, which I have played for around five years is nearly dead, at least the multi-account server, Echo, is, despite last year's server merger, which was destroyed when they almost immediately opened several mono-account servers. Basically, I chose DDO because I wanted to find a game that had a long life, and pnp DnD is something I liked as a child. However, I will not waste two more weeks grinding back to this level, and I will not pay for anything until I know clients get some respect (I spent ~200 euros last year on Dofus, so it is DDO's loss if I am not turned into a client).
DDO is mostly about reincarnation, Your character will be level 7 quite a few times, unless You want to go to level 30 and sit there doing not much.
Reincarnation will give You stronger character(s), more power and game knowledge. Nim transferred because he accumulated years of play (by reincarnations and itmes) under his character. He would have lost a lot by rolling a new character.
Also, You get free store points by running to 100 favor on each server (that will give You 1000 DP for free) and by doing that You will have level 4 characters on each server. As a new player I definitely recommend to do Your favor runs.
http://ddowiki.com/page/Guide_to_Free_to_Play You can also see what server would fit You the best.
I seriously suggest you change servers as in roll up a new toon on a diff server. If you are just lvl 7 and have no unique equipment it would be the right move.
Try out some servers in your timezone and your playtime. Just pulling up the who panel and see how many are online can give you a first impression. That is no guarantee for a fitting server, though.
Spare a thought on that possibility.
Glad to have you. Just roll on a new server. Level 7 is nothing.
Khyber is looking for new fish.
It can be hard for new players to find connection on wayfinder or to get special items but there are players and guilds who are willing to help you if you ask them.
When you are alone on wayfinder try to join a guild, wayfinder has some good active guilds who recruit. Teaparty of Teabags, Densetsu no Samurai, Your Part Time Guild are 3 of these guilds which are also bring up raids.
They have some kind players who explain you different things or help you out.
For people who like a huge company and like to run often with different people or join a lot of lfms is wayfinder not the right server.
This server is more for people who enjoy a small good company or like to have fun with friends and for players who have no problem if not always anyone there to do something together.
Wayfinder has some really nice players, thats why myself and some other people like to stay on this server and not because we all are antisocial or can not afford a server transfer.
Wayfinder was maybe considered to be a german server in the past which unfortunately harms the server until today, even if they have removed the DE behind the server name.
There a several non german players and guilds on wayfinder and not only european players.
I dont undertstand why they dont change the german wayfinder forum or remove the DE in the bug report. A general forum for germans is fine, but please remove wayfinder from it.
I think one of the reason why some people avoid the server is because they think its a server for germans.
Nim, sorry to see you go. best of luck in your travels! Hope your LFM all ways fill.
I'm sure DDO loses a lot of players due to lack of other people to interact with.
transfers... ESPECIALLY from a server that has such low population.


Separate the yolks from the eggs, transferring the yolks to a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, Cajun seasoning and hot sauce. whisk everything together until evenly combined and smooth. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
To a separate medium mixing bowl, add the Panko bread crumbs, the gumbo file powder, and the salt & pepper. Toss together until evenly incorporated.
Coat the egg whites in flour, shaking off any excess. Dunk them in the beaten eggs. Then coat them in the breading mixture, packing the crumbs-as necessary- to coat.
Fill a heavy bottomed pot with canola oil until it's 2-3 inches high. Heat until a thermometer reaches 350 degrees.
Add the egg whites, working in batches of 4, and fry for 2 minutes per side- or until they're golden brown and crispy. Remove them to a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess grease. Repeat until all the egg whites are fried.
Pipe the creamy yolk mixture into each fried egg. Sprinkle them with a bit of smoked paprika, and serve.

JetBlue Partners With Going.com For San Francisco Expansion
by Tameka Kee , April 26, 2007
In an effort to generate buzz for its new service to San Francisco, JetBlue Airways has partnered with localized social network Going.com--sponsoring a three-city rock tour, among other events.
Boston-based Going.com (formerly HeyLetsGo.com) is also expanding its network to San Francisco and New York, making it the most logical partner to promote JetBlue's new destination.
On May 3, when San Francisco-bound flights leave New York and Boston, JetBlue has planned multiple tri-city events, capitalizing on the strong community ties a social network like Going.com can provide.
Attendees must join Going.com to receive free admission to parties on May 1 and May 10 in San Francisco's Mezzanine and New York's Hero nightclubs, respectively. Locations and dates of the rock tour featuring The Teddy Bears will be revealed on the site as well.
JetBlue also plans to use co-branded banner ads on sites like hipster music magazine urb.com, in addition to out-of-home media.
Going.com and other localized social networks differ from larger sites such as MySpace in that they focus on connecting local users to nightlife, music, and cultural events in their own neighborhoods--blurring the line between the online and offline "village." This creates a space for advertisers, like JetBlue, to have their brand image resonate with a targeted demographic on a seemingly organic level.
The partnership was brokered by Urban Groove Networks, an entertainment and music marketing agency based in New York. Said executive Parag Bandhari: "We picked Going.com to help tap into the music, nightlife and cultural scenes of all three cities. It just seemed like the perfect partner for JetBlue's promotional needs."

01/03/22 - Avicii's Final Journals Reveal a Superstar DJ Haunted by Demons
04/23/18 New York (AFP) Rock 'n' roll had Buddy Holly, the psychedelic era had Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin and grunge had Kurt Cobain. Now electronic dance music has Avicii. Swedish DJ Avicii's death 04/20/18 at age 28 marks a symbolic coming-of-age for a genre that remains resolutely youthful, with the first electronic superstar to die near his prime. More
Who Is He
If asked who Tim Bergling is, most people would be stumped. But bring up his stage name, Avicii, and people may start immediately dancing. A member of a new class of DJs-as-stars that includes Calvin Harris, Zedd and David Guetta, Avicii began to make waves in the world of Electronic Dance Music in 2011 with his Grammy-nominated hit, "Levels". This song went on to be sampled by other songs that topped charts and set in motion a unique career in which the Swedish-born DJ has dominated radio airwaves without most people actually knowing much about him. The album that established him as a legitimate star was 2013's True, which contained the smash, "Wake Me Up". With vocals from rising singer-songwriter, Aloe Blacc, the song previewed Avicii's newfound interest in fusing EDM with elements of Country, Folk and Bluegrass music. Some called it "folktronica".
What Are His Messages
For the most part, Avicii's messages are fairly straightforward. As a DJ, his main goal is to get people to get up and dance; to momentarily suspend their cares and let loose. But seemingly not content with that, some of his songs present fairly complex lyrics, especially in a genre known mostly for lyrics where the greatest challenge is to see how euphoric the listener can feel. But in "Wake Me Up", he speaks into the challenge that young people face when finding their identity with lines like, "All this time I was finding my self / And I didn't know I was lost." In "Hey Brother", he encourages, "If the sky comes falling down for you / There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do." "Fade Into Darkness" promises the song's subject that if they hold onto each other and keep their faith, they won't fade into darkness.
What Does A Youthworker Need2Know
Most of your students probably know several of Avicii's songs, even if they aren't familiar with the man himself. As an EDM artist, he actually provides some of the most solid, positive dance music around. There are no vulgarities or sexual references to be found. Instead, he seems to want to encourage his listeners to hold on through hard times, support one another and stay positive, even when things seem bleak. Though not necessarily deep or overtly spiritual, he is a positive alternative to many of the dance songs found on Top 40 radio. He even worked with Coldplay on their hit single, "A Sky Full Of Stars".

If you have been trying to figure out in which direction your career is headed, you are probably considering all of your options carefully. We are lucky enough to get to speak with a number of people who are all interested in a number of future careers at Test Ready Pro. Because we offer test preparation for police officers, firefighters, paramedics, military and more, we have heard the ups and downs that come with finding an initial career or changing career paths. However, these are not the only test prep resources we offer. We also provide test prep materials for security officers. If you have a desire to protect and serve but you aren't quite sure where to start, being a security officer is a great place to begin.
If you have been thinking about becoming a security officer, our advice would be to get started as soon as possible. The reason we suggest this is because it takes very little time to complete the necessary training. Rather than investing years of your time in education, you will only have to complete right to 16 hours of basic security training. You can, of course, opt for additional training in order to get pay increases as your career advances.
We aren't trying to be cute with this headline. The truth of the matter is that places are always going to need security guards. Whether you are providing security at a special event or you work on a daily basis, there will always be people looking for experienced guards. Additionally, the notion that you can pursue other passions that you may have and still be able to rely on security as a fall-back is a great feeling.
There is a lot of freedom that comes with working as a security officer as well. Your job will most likely always require that you protect the business or the people that you are hired to look after. This means that you will probably never have a supervisor that is present throughout your shifts, leaving you personally accountable and responsible. This is normally a very appealing aspect of the job for those who prefer to work on their own.
One of the best things about being a security officer is that you get to protect and serve. Your job has a purpose, and whether you are waking up to head to work, or driving home from your shift, you will feel that purpose. There is nothing better than knowing your job is making a positive impact on someone, even if it is just one person.
Once you have secured a positions as a security guard, you can absolutely use it to advance your overall career. For some, becoming a security guard allows for them to pay their way through school or make a big purchase. For others, it is a step in the right direction to become a police officer. Experience as a security guard is extremely valuable if you are someone who want to eventually become part of the police force.
Ready To Start Your Journey To Becoming A Security Officer?

A streamlined and efficient revenue cycle is considered as the "circulatory system" of a healthcare organization. Beyond traditional tools, today's healthcare providers rely on innovative strategies to improve the revenue cycle performance. However, with advancements in healthcare analytics, CIOs are on a constant lookout for analytics products that help in deriving actionable insights to improve metrics, whether financial or clinical.
With a deep understanding in healthcare analytics domain, SYNERGEN Health, a financial services company, transforms the revenue cycle management by providing a single, intuitive dashboard coupled with actionable intelligence. DOCTRIX, SYNERGEN's cloud-based analytics solution, visualizes financial data in a user-friendly interface for enabling decision makers to obtain a holistic view of clinical and business procedures and identify potential risks in advance. "We deliver analytics and services to not only understand key metrics but provide necessary guidance to take corrective measures that results in positive financial outcomes," begins Sunil Konda, VP of Product, SYNERGEN Health.
In the current data-driven digital era, healthcare providers face diverse challenge with regards to data accessibility and speed/cost of software implementation and maintenance. DOCTRIX streamlines such complexities by understanding financial data of healthcare revenue cycle with its easy-to-read executive dashboards— accessible from PC, tablet or any smartphone. It leverages self-service, big data analytics, and machine learning to understand the ups and downs in their practices. "DOCTRIX utilizes descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics and its professional expertise to maximize their clients' revenue potential," says Konda. It seamlessly integrates data from multiple resources in real-time and checks for daily pulse defined by industry best practices. For example, SYNERGEN Health analyzed profit/loss combinations across various drugs for its medical oncology clients. This essential information obtained from analytics helped them in renegotiating with vendors and payers. With the reengineered processes SYNERGEN improved their first time payment rates to over 95 percent and reduced the AR to less than 20 days.
Being a HIPAA compliant solution, DOCTRIX secures the de-identified patient information by making it accessible to authorized users including physician groups, clinics, and other healthcare organizations. It also helps its clients in tracking performance by alerting the users on KPI thresholds and enabling them to export data in single clicks. The platform agnostic solution provides customizable KPIs for its clients to broaden their view on business and minimize financial risks. DOCTRIX provides granular level drilldown capability for its customers to obtain a summary and detailed level of analysis. At one instance, a customer was struggling to extract information from their 22 facilities and numerous reports as each one required an exclusive login to the system. The analysis of detailed reports was time consuming and provided limited visibility into their processes. DOCTRIX enabled the customer to have complete view on their clients in a single dashboard with an ease of access. The solution automated manual reports and also enabled the customer to switch to facility level from enterprise with a single click. "We saved around 10 to 15 hours of manual reporting on a weekly basis," says Nimshan Fernando, Product Manager, SYNERGEN Health. "Previously, the customer didn't have any visibility regarding which practice is doing well. But, with DOCTRIX, they can take a glance on their practices for 15 minutes and identify the issues instantly," adds Konda.
SYNERGEN Health plans to deliver value-based analytics to its clients, and also develops machine learning-based collections and denial workflow management system for enhancing payment collection efficiency. "We are also building predictive capabilities in DOCTRIX for forecasting revenue, reimbursements, and pay/CPT for practices to plan their future services and operations," concludes Konda.

"The theory of Islam and Sword for instance is not heard now frequently in any quarter worth the name. The principle of Islam that there is no compulsion in religion is well known. Gibbon, a historian of world repute says, "A pernicious tenet has been imputed to Mohammadans, the duty of extirpating all the religions by sword." This charge based on ignorance and bigotry, says the eminent historian, is refuted by Quran, by history of Musalman conquerors and by their public and legal toleration of Christian worship. The great success of Mohammad's life had been effected by sheer moral force, without a stroke of sword.
But in pure self-defense, after repeated efforts of conciliation had utterly failed, circumstances dragged him into the battlefield. But the prophet of Islam changed the whole strategy of the battlefield. The total number of casualties in all the wars that took place during his lifetime when the whole Arabian Peninsula came under his banner, does not exceed a few hundred in all. But even on the battlefield he taught the Arab barbarians to pray, to pray not individually, but in congregation to God the Almighty. During the dust and storm of warfare whenever the time for prayer came, and it comes five times a every day, the congregation prayer had not to be postponed even on the battlefield. A party had to be engaged in bowing their heads before God while other was engaged with the enemy. After finishing the prayers, the two parties had to exchange their positions. To the Arabs, who would fight for forty years on the slight provocation that a camel belonging to the guest of one tribe had strayed into the grazing land belonging to other tribe and both sides had fought till they lost 70,000 lives in all; threatening the extinction of both the tribes to such furious Arabs, the Prophet of Islam taught self-control and discipline to the extent of praying even on the battlefield. In an aged of barbarism, the Battlefield itself was humanized and strict instructions were issued not to cheat, not to break trust, not to mutilate, not to kill a child or woman or an old man, not to hew down date palm nor burn it, not to cut a fruit tree, not to molest any person engaged in worship. His own treatment with his bitterest enemies is the noblest example for his followers. At the conquest of Mecca, he stood at the zenith of his power. The city which had refused to listen to his mission, which had tortured him and his followers, which had driven him and his people into exile and which had unrelentingly persecuted and boycotted him even when he had taken refuge in a place more than 200 miles away, that city now lay at his feet. By the laws of war he could have justly avenged all the cruelties inflicted on him and his people. But what treatment did he accord to them? Mohammad's heart flowed with affection and he declared, "This day, there is no REPROOF against you and you are all free." "This day" he proclaimed, "I trample under my feet all distinctions between man and man, all hatred between man and man."
The principles of universal brotherhood and doctrine of the equality of mankind which he proclaimed represents one very great contribution of Mohammad to the social uplift of humanity. All great religions have preached the same doctrine but the prophet of Islam had put this theory into actual practice and its value will be fully recognized, perhaps centuries hence, when international consciousness being awakened, racial prejudices may disappear and greater brotherhood of humanity come into existence. "
"Some one has said that Europeans in South Africa dread the advent Islam -- Islam that civilized Spain, Islam that took the torch light to Morocco and preached to the world the Gospel of brotherhood. The Europeans of South Africa dread the Advent of Islam. They may claim equality with the white races. They may well dread it, if brotherhood is a sin. If it is equality of colored races then their dread is well founded."
"Islam teaches the inherent sinlessness of man. It teaches that man and woman have come from the same essence, posses the same soul and have been equipped with equal capabilities for intellectual, spiritual and moral attainments."
So you don't have to believe me, I'm Islamic after all, but perhaps these non islamists can say their opinions and be heard better.
And as for the abomination of Arabic words you have used, I can only say alhamdulillah, because then you have made principle that Arabic is just like any other language, it can be used in abomination and in praise, therefor it is not the executive right of Islamists to use it (as has been repeated by you over and over again) and if there is fault in interpretation of the use of those words then it is only because it is just like all other languages, full of meaning and interpretted by MAN. So, interpret it anyway you want, you are only a man to me... Full of all manly sins and incapabilities, as are we all.


Water is the focus of this 431.4-acre park, which includes the Splash Adventure water park, Ski Rixen USA cable water-skiing, Bike America bicycle rentals, a marina with boats for rent, and several lakes for fishing. For recreation on dry land, the park features mountain bike trails, basketball courts, and a campground with platform tents and tepees. The park is also home to the Renaissance Festival, one of South Florida's most popular annual festivals.


A trove of antiquities has been unearthed as the excavations for the Thessaloniki metro system continue, with recent discoveries of Christian period building remnants.
The most recent findings are at the Agia Sophia Metro Station. According to Voria.gr news website, archaeologists found a fountain structure at the southeast end of the marble-lined square, which came to light in earlier excavations of the spot, in the section above Egnatia Avenue.
The discovery originally made both construction engineers and archaeologists to stop works in order to discuss how to keep an ancient marble covered square and fountain system intact, while at the same time deliver the station on time and without exceeding the construction budget.
Quite a good looking girl, not bad for her age.


Just in time for Halloween, Barry Diller has raised Pier 55 from the dead. Today Diller, the financier and chair of media conglomerate IAC, issued a statement today on the project, a Thomas Heatherwick–designed pier and performing arts center in the Hudson River he was funding up until last month.
Diller pulled out of the $250 million just 43 days ago, after opponents, mainly the City Club of New York, challenged the project repeatedly in court. The parties were negotiating a settlement that would allow the project to move forward just prior to Diller's pull-out. Now, none other than Governor Andrew Cuomo has stepped in to facilitate a preliminary agreement between Diller and the City Club, which agreed to abandon their fight in the courts. "Although I and many others aren't very fond of the design of Pier 55, allowing [the pier] is a tradeoff," Michael Gruen, president of the City Club, told The Architect's Newspaper (AN). With the latest agreement, though, "we think we've won more than we lost." According to Gruen, the deal assures that key parts of the park, like underutilized piers, will be rebuilt, and the governor has promised state money for these projects. The Hudson River estuary will also be protected. The agreement, however, has not yet been formally drafted and signed by the stakeholders, which include pier stewards the Hudson River Park Trust.
"We have had productive conversations and it has been agreed that the legal dispute commenced by the City Club will cease," said Cuomo, in a statement. "Pier 55 will go forward, and we will work cooperatively to complete the full vision for the Park."
Terreform is a nonprofit center for urban research and advocacy, founded in 2005. We've long taken an interest in the fate of Pier 40 (our studio is a few blocks away) and the development of the Hudson River waterfront. We were involved in doing analysis and design in response to the recent air rights transfer across West Street and the funding it brought for vital repairs to the pier. We'd previously offered a proposal for relocation of a portion of the NYU expansion to the site. We've been closely observing the ongoing contretemps over Barry Diller's proposal to build a new entertainment pier on the site of the largely vanished Pier 55 at a project cost of $250 million. While we greatly admire the work of Thomas Heatherwick (the scheme's imaginative designer), have no issue with generous philanthropy, and ardently wish to see the Hudson River Park become ever more splendid and capacious, we do wonder at the logic of this particular investment in the context of a public space obliged to financially fend for itself and monumentally strapped. More specifically, we wonder whether this enormous investment—and the program it will support—might be directed to a place where it is far more urgently needed and appropriately housed: Pier 40. Pier 40 has represented a frustrating combination of problem and opportunity for years, somehow stymying all efforts to realize its full public potential. At present, it provides invaluable and beloved sports fields to the community but its primary "service" is as a huge parking lot. This may be a cash cow for the Hudson River Park Trust but it's surely the least appropriate possible use for such a vast and charismatically-sited facility. Likewise, most of the proposals that have been floated for Pier 40's renewal over the years have been over-focused on two private styles of reconstruction, on luxury housing or office space, rather than on realizing its truly remarkable potential as a scene of pleasure and recreation. Our idea is simple: invest the $250 million earmarked for Pier 55 in Pier 40. Build facilities—theaters and a park—of exactly the same size and capacity as planned for the uptown site. Then add as much additional fabulousness as possible. The attached sketches show expanded recreational and sports facilities (including indoor tennis courts and gyms and a pool), more theaters and performance spaces (featuring a large amphitheater with a floating stage that might migrate around the city), a vast forested rooftop and sculpture garden, a marina, a complex of waterside restaurants, a school, community offices, a small hotel, ample opportunities for strolling and sitting along the water, and dock space for a variety of ships and boats. The whole might not generate quite the revenue as parked cars but the stream could be ample and the initial subvention would take care of the expense of construction. Thomas Heatherwick would be great choice for architect! We look forward to the handshake between Barry Diller, Douglas Durst, Bill de Blasio, and Andrew Cuomo that seals this win-win deal!
The Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court decided Monday to waive a temporary injunction against Pier55, a new 2.7-acre park along/in the Hudson River, to allow construction to continue at least until September when the full case is heard before the court. Pier55 is designed by Heatherwick Studio. Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller are major funders of the $130 million project. Construction on Pier55 began in late June. Although the project has been approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the local community board, the City Club of New York has sued to block the project. Workers may now continue pile-driving for the balcony that will sit over the river. A spokesperson for Pier55 today released this statement in response to the Court's decision: "With the City Club's latest charade behind us, we will get back to building the new public park that local residents have sought for years. Now that both state and federal courts have denied its demand for an injunction, the City Club should take this cue to finally end its absurd crusade against the wishes of the community. We remain committed to making Pier55 a reality and providing new green space for all New Yorkers to enjoy." Both the Pier55 development team and the City Club have aired their grievances on The Architect's Newspaper's op-ed page. Read their letters here, and here.
In April this year, British architect Thomas Heatherwick's Pier55 project was given the go-ahead from the New York State Supreme Court. Back then, all looked good for the $130 million, 2.7 acre island of public space located off of the lower west side of Manhattan. Now, construction is to be delayed after the court has allowed opponents of the project more time for their case to be prepared. The result of an injunction issued by the New York State Appellate Division, the Hudson River scheme is likely to restart construction by September at the earliest. Notable opponents to Pier55—which is backed by Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg—include the City Club of New York, who penned a letter published by AN in opposition of the project, activist Tom Fox, and environmentalist Rob Buchanan. "The project would require driving about 550 piles in an area of the Hudson protected as an estuarine sanctuary," the City Club wrote in an AN op-ed published this January. "Diller and von Furstenberg would receive a 30-year lease to operate the island as a performing arts venue and naming rights to the island in perpetuity." "The project has also been through a rigorous and transparent environmental review process and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has already determined that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required," said the Pier55 development team in reply. "It must also be noted that Pier55's 2.7-acre size is within the scope of what is allowed based on a 2013 law amending the state's Hudson River Park Act. This amendment, crafted based on input from the local community board and other stakeholders, allowed HRPT to rebuild the former pier outside its original footprint." In April, as mentioned earlier, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Joan Lobis ruled that The City Club's claims to be "without merit". "It would appear that a significant purpose of maintaining event spaces in the Park is to generate funds for the ongoing upkeep of the Park, which is surely a park purpose," said Lobis. In light of the recent injunction, City Club President Michael Gruen issued a statement said the move was a "valuable step in ensuring that this secretive and misguided project will not get off the ground."

10 large item storage lockers are now installed along Lawrence Street and Park Avenue West and the city will add 200 medium and small item storage units for those accessing the day shelter beginning June 1, 2017. The two short-term storage pilots are part of the Office of HOPE's 30 short-term action items for 2017 unveiled this past Friday at the city's 3rd annual Denver Housing Summit. The action items were developed through outreach with people experiencing homelessness, homeless advocates, providers, neighbors and businesses.
Denver Public Works installed the 10 new sidewalk storage units along Lawrence Street and Park Avenue West on May 10, 2017 and initiated the project on May 12. Six individuals currently have permits for the units, with four additional persons awaiting permits. Denver's Road Home, Office of HOPE, Denver Public Works, Denver Rescue Mission and Catholic Charities' Samaritan House partnered to create the pilot. Individuals experiencing homelessness who are accessing jobs, health services, and shelter may access the units for 30 days with the option to extend use of the unit to 60 days.
The second project, an expansion of short-term storage in partnership with St. Francis Center, launches June 1, 2017 and will add 200 small and medium storage spaces at their employment center for a 30-day period.
How will the short-term sidewalk storage pilot work?
Denver Public Works will administer the program. Individuals must provide a shelter ID and be able to demonstrate their engagement in workforce training, employment, health services or shelter.
Units are available for 30 days with the option to extend use for another 30 days.
The pilot will run for 90 days beginning May 12, 2017. The city will evaluate the pilot results for consideration of future funding.
Once individuals agree to the terms and conditions of using the sidewalk storage locker, Public Works will assign a locker and a combination lock to that individual. Misuse will result in a loss of the permit.
How will the expanded short-term day shelter storage pilot work?
Adds 200 temporary storage units to St. Francis Center's employment office.
Currently St. Francis Center operates a 30-day storage program for approximately 500 guests who need to store small to medium sized items (approximately 2'x 2'x3') at their Curtis Street location.
The project is a partnership between St. Francis Center and Denver's Road Home.
The pilot expansion of day shelter storage will begin June 1, 2017.
Denver's Road Home will evaluate the pilot after six months to determine whether it will continue.

Celebrating Women – International Womens Day luncheon
by theEmother | Apr 11, 2008 | entrepreneurial mothers, inspiring women, so you think you're in business | 8 comments
Last week I was most fortunate to be invited to speak at the Celebrating Women – International Womens Day luncheon for the Mornington Peninsula Shire Women in the Workplace and Frankston City Council Women Connect Networking groups, to recognise and celebrate the 215 attendees for their fine efforts to date.
Make the most of it ladies, and here's to us!
Two students from Community VCAL, Bianca Mitchell and Emily Best, who attended the lunch also got a lot out of it… here is what they have to say about it. The girls put these words together to be included in the SkillsPlus program newsletter. Bianca further commented, when asked if the luncheon had any influence on her future, "I plan on working harder and just to believe in myself" was her reply… And you know what, that's all she fundamentally needs to do.
As the coordinator of the Skills Plus program told me via email, "these girls were very much disengaged from a traditional school environment. As a result of our more non-traditional approach, we have seen a huge turn around in their self-esteem and educational values"… Based on the girls article, when given the chance to do something different like attending the lunch, they gained a lot more than they expected… just what we like to hear!
Two more students from the Elizabeth Murdoch College, Amy Winchester Yr 11 VCAL Captain and Jasmine Biviano Yr 11 VCAL Vice Captain, had this to say… "Denise Hall said four things that have really stuck in our minds:
"Luck is where opportunity and hard work meet"
"Education is the key to living an alternative (better) life"
"Grow to be the best you can be"
"It's not about finding yourself but creating yourself"
These four quotes are now part of the Year 11 VCAL girl's motivational strategies." and are featured in the College newsletter for March (p5).
Students from another 14 schools also chose to take part in the celebrations.
International Women's Day… Hhmmmm
Without wanting to put a dampener…. I'm in two minds about this one I have to say. Only because to me it's a bit like "mothers day"… on one hand, I'm very pleased that a day is set aside where significant women in our lives are idolised (including us!)… but then on the other hand, shouldn't every day be like that? Shouldn't continued recognition and celebration and reward be the norm?
Surely, one of our main roles in life is to set sail, strive to 'do it my way', be celebrated for that fact and, enjoy the ride!
