An old tradition in the workers' movement came back to life in February in Edmonton – the wildcat strike. February 16 at 7 a.m., hundreds of angry service workers walked off the job at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. They were soon joined by workers at the University of Alberta Hospital and the Northeast Community Health Centre.
These general support service employees, 22,000 strong, form the indispensable framework for hospital activities in the province – managing health records, preparing meals, sterilizing surgical tools and assisting in therapy, in the pharmacy and elsewhere. But they are being treated as disposal workers by management.
Members of the Alberta Union of Public Employees (AUPE), they have been without a contract since last Spring. The results of mediation have been no better. Their bargaining unit was given a mediator's contract recommendations, and rejected it overwhelmingly.
In response, the employer, Alberta Health Services, came back with a new offer that offered a two percent lump sum payment for 2011 (i.e., no increase in base pay), a two percent increase for 2012, and a cost of living increase for 2013. This offer "was even less than what was recommended in the rejected mediator's report" said AUPE President Guy Smith. "What we got was nothing short of insulting," he said in a press conference (CBC News 2012).
The response to this insulting offer was to have been a series of information pickets on the afternoon of February 16. While better than nothing, information pickets are usually ignored by the mass media, and so rarely bring very much attention to the issues workers face in struggles with management.
But the wildcats, which pre-empted those information pickets, certainly did the trick. The morning news, on radio and television, was full of sounds and images of angry workers, telling their story, and letting the public know about their concerns.
Wildcat strikes are technically "illegal" – but in the face of determined solidarity, and real sympathy from the Edmonton public, AUPE won a back-to-work protocol, with a guarantee that "there will be no legal action or workplace discipline" (AUPE 2012).
With employers across the country increasingly playing hardball, and with Conservative governments in office federally and in many provinces (including, of course, Alberta), Edmonton hospital workers are doing all of us a service by rehearsing this powerful, rarely used tactic – the rank-and-file led wildcat.

Q: Browser tab badge notification I have been searching how to get a notification badge on the tab of the website page like in the image below, but couldn't find much, or anything that works. I have made a chat site and want people to know if there is a new notification in the channel they are in. But I just need to know how I can get a red badge button on the site favicon or something like that.
Preferably something like how Discord has done:

I have tried this, but doesn't seem to work:
var count = 0;

var title = document.title;

function changeTitle() {
    count++;
    var newTitle = '(' + count + ') ' + title;
    document.title = newTitle;
}

function newUpdate() {
    update = setInterval(changeTitle, 2000);
}
var docBody = document.getElementById('site-body');
docBody.onload = newUpdate;

A: Tl;Dr: Update the <link> element with a new icon image.

Basically what it does:

*

*takes the source of the image from the <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> element

*creates an in-memory Canvas element

*applies the favicon image

*draws the shape on top

*draws the text value on top

*updates the <link> element href attribute from the final composite of the canvas element imageData
Use like:
const myBadgerOptions = {}; // See: constructor for customization options
const myBadger = new Badger(myBadgerOptions);

// Live update value example:
myBadger.value = 3;

// Remove badge example:
// myBadger.value = 0;

// If needed, get the generated base64 image data:
// console.log(myBadger.dataURL);

Badger constructor:
/**
 * Add notification badge (pill) to favicon in browser tab
 * @url stackoverflow.com/questions/65719387/
 */
class Badger {
  constructor(options) {
    Object.assign(

        radius: 8,      // Border radius

Breakout Churches
Discover How to Make the Leap
Thom S. Rainer
Breakout Churches Can Your Church Become One? This is the story of thirteen churches and the leaders who moved them from stagnancy to growth and from mediocrity to greatness. Drawing on one of the most comprehensive studies ever on the church, this book reveals the process of becoming a "breakout" church and the factors that lead to this spiritual metamorphosis. Eighty percent of the approximately 400,000 churches in the United States are either declining or at a plateau. Is there hope for the American church? Breakout Churches offers a resounding "yes!" and offers specific examples and principles to help you and your church become more effective.
Thom S. Rainer (PhD, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is president and CEO of LifeWay Christian Resources in Nashville, Tennessee. He was founding dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and, Church Growth at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. His many books include Surprising Insights from the Unchurched, The Unexpected Journey, and Breakout Churches.
From the subtitle to the research methods, this is a book-length, church-focused homage to Jim Collins's business bestseller Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't. Rainer, a dean at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and president of a church consulting firm, sent a Collins-inspired team of researchers to pore through previously collected data on 'effective evangelistic churches.' The team was looking for churches that had gone through a period of stagnation before experiencing a 'breakout' period of vitality, measured largely through membership growth---while keeping the same pastoral leadership. These criteria excluded both churches that had grown consistently or churches that grew after changing pastors. Of the 50,000 churches in the seminary's database, only 13 qualified. Rainer seeks to identify the secret of those churches' success and draws some telling comparisons with similar churches that were in gradual decline (and persistent denial). But his conclusions are consistently tainted by what statisticians call 'post hoc bias'---there is no way to prove that the factors he identifies, which track closely with Collins's conclusions, were responsible for these churches' growth. The real value of this book is the hope Rainer instills that even churches that appear moribund can see remarkable change---if their leaders are willing, in Rainer's words, to 'confront reality.'

A Diósgyőri-vasgyári Szakképző Iskola Miskolcon, annak Diósgyőr-Vasgyár városrészében található.

Története
Az 1868-as népoktatási törvény évében és részben annak hatására alapították. A kiegyezés utána rohamosan felgyorsultak az események, a vas-acélgyártás és gyáripar, melyet az ország egész területét érintő nagyarányú vasútépítés bontakozott ki, melynek következtében egyre több szakemberre volt szükség. Diósgyőrben megalakult a Magyar Királyi Vas- és Acélgyár. Ennek következtében az iskola ún. tanonc iskolaként működött. Ekkoriban számtalan elemi iskola is működött Diósgyőrben, viszont legfejlettebbnek a gyártelepieket tartották. Az iskolák végleges tanterveit 1921-ben hagyták jóvá. Tulajdonképpen mintaiskolákká váltak, példájukra hozták létre az országban több ilyen típusú iskolát.

1948-ban a MÁVAG kezdeményezésére új iskolaépület, 1949-ben kollégium épült, melyben jelenleg is működik az iskola.
Volt olyan időszak, amikor az iskola 3200 tanulót oktatott, ma 1200 diákja van. 1972-től szakközépiskolai képzéssel bővült az oktatás, amely négyéves, és szintén az általános iskolai képzésre épül. A képzési profil súlypontjában az ún. vasas szakmák állnak, de a korábbiakhoz képest az 1990-es években módosult az oktatás szerkezete, miközben megszűntek egyes szakmák, és helyükre újabbak kerültek.

Szakmák
Érettségi után választható szakképzések

Bútoripari technikus
CAD-CAM informatikus
Gépgyártás-technológiai technikus
Szakiskola 10. évfolyama után választható szakképzések

Gépi forgácsoló (MITISZK)
Géplakatos (MITISZK)
Szerkezetlakatos
Hegesztő

As the countdown to Christmas kicks off, it's time to start thinking about those handmade gift ideas.
If you're stumped for something different to create with your own hands this year, I've got a great idea for you. You're going to love this.
Throughout this post, I'll walk you through how to make these pretty, decorative candles. They're super easy to make with only a few supplies.
If you have a computer, a printer and a little bit of time, you can easily customize these candles with any image you like.
In addition to double sided tape, tissue paper and a hot air gun, you'll also need the following: (1) ribbon (2) decorative twig and (3) assorted candles.
Make sure you use candles that have a cylinder shape with the same width from top to bottom. I initially tried this project using tapered candles and the paper was much harder to line up and avoid creases.
You'll also need an image to transfer to an 8 1/2 X 11″ sheet. You can use a photograph, a phrase or anything that can be transferred to an 8 1/2 X 11-inch sheet.
I liked the idea of using musical notes for a vintage look so I conducted a google-search for vintage sheet music. Loads of pages came up.
Select the desired image and then save to your file. Most images like this are presented in a low resolution format which may make your resulting image slightly blurry.
To counter that, import the image into your photo-editing program and manually increase the resolution.
You'll want to be careful about how you use images that you do not own. Many images you find on-line are copyright protected attached restrictions on usage and penalities for violation.
This is a particularly sensitive issue if you plan to use images for commerical purposes. You can easily find what's called "copyright-free" images which do not have usage restrictions or prohibitions. Just google "copyright free images".
Now that you've selected an image, let's get ready to transfer it to tissue paper.
When I first tried this project out, I used vellum which is an-almost clear, lightweight paper that is commonly used in scrapbooking. Vellum does not work, it's far too thick for the desired result and you'll just ruin a good candle if you use it.
Tissue paper works best for this project.
Cut tissue paper down slightly smaller than an 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of cardstock.
Use a tiny sliver of double sided tape across the top edge of the cardstock and adhere the top edge of the tissue paper to the cardstock. Make sure the top edge is nice and flat.
The cardstock provides the right amount of support for you to run the tissue paper through your printer.
Once the image is transferred to the tissue paper, carefully lift it off the cardstock and remove the edge from the double sided tape.
Because tissue paper is extremely fragile you may lose some of the tissue paper if it doesn't detach completly from the double sided tape. This shouldn't be a problem as long as you remember to use only a sliver of tape and adhere it as close to the edge as possible.
Line up the tissue paper with your candle. You'll need to cut enough tissue paper so that it will wrap completly around the candle.
Apply a small amount of glue to the wrong side of the tissue paper, along the top and bottom edges.
Carefully adhere the tissue paper to the candle, pressing firmly as you go to smooth out creases or air bubbles.
Hold the candle upright and run the hot air gun along the entire candle. The wax will melt through the tissue paper and then dry on the outside of the tissue. This process totally embeds the tissue paper image into the wax as if it had always been there.
Don't put the hot air gun too close to the candle because you don't want to melt too much of the wax which will cause the candle to lose its original shape.
If you have a slight amount of tissue paper overhanging on the bottom before you cut it, simply fold it across the bottom of the candle.
You can also just cut out a small circle of the tissue paper image and apply it to the bottom of the candle by heating it in the same way. This gives the bottom of the candle a more finished look.
If giving a set of candles as a gift you can embellish the front with a holiday sprig. Don't forget to remind the gift recipient that the candles should not be burned but used for decoration only.
Use pliers to carefully twist the wire end of the decorative stem to close off that sharp end. Then, wrap the candles in a pretty ribbon and add the decorative stem for a perfect holiday gift.
Remember, this technique can be used for any size candle. Placing an overall image on a larger candle may require some tissue paper piecing.
IMPORTANT: These are decorative candles ONLY and should NOT be lit. Even though the tissue paper is embedded and coated with wax, once the flame touches the uderlying paper the flame extends beyond the wick and becomes far too wide (the width of the candle) to be considered safe.
You could decorate candles to suit any occasion or season to use as home decor or great gifts.
Instead of giving grandma and grandpa (or other loved ones) a holiday card featuring the family portrait, consider a special candle embedded with the annual family snapshot or a favorite old black and white photo. (These would make great anniversary gifts too).
There are tons of possibilities to create your own vintage decorative candles.
This red ribion is looks very nice. I just like this card, the colours used for the stamp are perfect and that background script paper really caught my eye.
Wow that is fantastic! I am in awe.
Very nice! I'll have to save it in my files for next year, I'm out of time! Love the vintage music look. Thanks for sharing such a detailed tutorial.
I just saw similar candles in PB and stood there for a minute trying to remember this technique. I had planned to try vellum. glad I read here so I can use tissue paper. Thanks!
Wow! This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. I added you to my favorite blog addresses!
Soooo pretty Lisa! I love your choice of the vintage music sheets. Thanks for sharing!
Another BEAUTIFUL project, Lisa – this is really wonderful!!!
Those are super adorable! 🙂 You have the cutest ideas here! Hope you are enjoy the holiday season!
Another great idea Lisa! You are fabulous!!!
Fab, Fab, Fab, Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Love this tutorial!!! Have you tried usuing repostionable adhesive to hold the tissue to the card stock for printing? Do you think that would work? Can't wait to try this. Off to buy candles!
Kind of a shame you can't safely burn them though.
You always have the most wonderful ideas!

Briarcliff Hires Tarrytown's Joshua Ringel as Village Manager
Robert Brum — October 20, 2021
New Briarcliff Manor Village Manager Joshua Ringel
A Tarrytown official has been appointed as Briarcliff Manor's village manager, following the retirement of longtime manager Philip Zegarelli.
Joshua Ringel will begin on Nov. 15, replacing Robin Rizzo, who stepped in as interim village manager following Zegarelli's Sept. 30 retirement.
Ringel joins Briarcliff after serving as the assistant village administrator and deputy village clerk for Tarrytown since July of 2019. Prior to that, he spent four years as an assistant to the village manager of Scarsdale and two and a half years as the deputy chief of Staff within the State Assembly.
The appointment was announced Tuesday on Facebook by Briarcliff Trustee Peter Chatzky. Ringel's salary will be $175,000. Tarrytown's assistant village administrator position carries a salary of $97,360, according to the village's adopted 2021-2022 budget.
Rizzo will return to her role as deputy treasurer and will work with Ringel to assist the transition into his new role.
Ringel is a graduate of the State University at Albany, with a bachelor's degree in public policy, according to the announcement. He also received his master's in public administration from the Rockefeller College at the University at Albany.
Ringel is a member of the International City/County Management Association, the New York State Municipal Administrators Association, and the Municipal Administrators Association of Metropolitan New York.
"This is an exciting juncture for Briarcliff Manor," Mayor Steven Vescio said in a statement. "We are reinvigorating our Central Business District, reenergizing our commercial properties, investing in our parks and recreation facilities, and continuing to improve communications to all residents. Josh will enliven our highly qualified staff with a new energy as our Village becomes even more desirable both for current residents and prospective homebuyers for years to come."
Ringel is a lifelong resident of Westchester County, having grown up in Hastings-on-Hudson. He currently lives in Croton-on-Hudson with his wife, Joanna.
In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, biking, exploring new cities, gardening, and homebrewing beer.
"I look forward to working with the Board and the hardworking employees of the Village, and meeting members of the community who make Briarcliff Manor an amazing place to call home," Ringel said in a statement.
Patti Dwyer of Strategic Government Resources led the search effort, which attracted more than 30 candidates for the position.

About the Author: Robert Brum


This is the fruit from one of my favorite native trees, Ostrya virginiana. You can see why its common name is American Hophornbeam. This fruit comes from some very old ones nearby on a parkway. They are stunted by years of full sun (they are a lowland, dry shade tree) and the neglect that comes with being city property on a rental building...not that any multi-owner building would do any better, in my opinion.
Being in its last legs, the plant is fruiting heavily.
No picture of the parkway trees, but they are about half the size of this better-placed and managed one in our backyard.

Hope College event explores populism's effect on conservatism
By Kate.Carlson kcarlson@hollandsentinel.com 616-546-4279
Nov 16, 2018 at 8:05 AM Nov 16, 2018 at 5:01 PM
HOLLAND — In a political era where President Donald Trump's policies are so often given the label of "populist," panelists gathered Thursday night at Hope College to discuss the rise of populism and its effect on conservatism.
Kathryn Lopez of the National Review Institute moderated a discussion between conservative panelists that included Rev. Robert Sirico of the Acton Institute, Hope College political science Professor Jeffrey Polet, and John O'Sullivan, British conservative political commentator. Besides current politics, the four also talked about the state of conservatism, the history of populism and the different forms they say it has taken throughout history.
According to a Kirk Center spokesman, a crowd of 270 people attended the panel discussion at the Jack H. Miller Center for the Musical Arts on the campus of Hope College. The speakers paid homage throughout the night to the late Russell Kirk as this year marks the centennial anniversary of the conservative political philosopher's birth in 1918.
"One of the interesting things about Kirk was that he is probably a guy who could have gone anywhere," Polet said.
Despite his accomplishments in his vast published work and recognition as a conservative philosopher, Kirk lived by his own principles of appreciating his humble hometown of Mecosta, Mich., Polet said. This idea of not having to move to places like New York City or Washington, D.C., after college is something Polet said he tries to present as an option to his students.
"The place you came from is a good and honorable place," Polet said. "That disposition is constantly in Kirk's work."
Another thing people today should emulate of Kirk is the simple act of human engagement, Polet said.
"We've got a whole generation of people who don't know how to engage in human relationships," the professor said. "Part of the politics is learning the necessity of these tasks."
Representing ways to connect with people is what populism often poses as, O'Sullivan explained as he attempted to define the complex term.
"The word is used to mean something I don't like, though it covers so many things at so many different times it's hard to attach a really clear meaning to (populism)," O'Sullivan said.
Often today the word "populist" is used as a derogatory term from a liberal viewpoint, O'Sullivan explained, even though liberals often fall back on conservative ideals when their own institutions are threatened. O'Sullivan also described populism as a common temptation for politicians, but one that should be avoided.
Panelists addressed how they have seen politicians of all stripes throughout history and as recent as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Trump show populist traits.
The commonality between all forms of populism across ideologies is they are all governed by passions and desires, and are very dangerous, Sirico said.
The opposite of populism is the "subtlety of thinking that recognizes the local and personal replacement of power and politics with prudence and relationships," Sirico added.
When asked what Kirk would think of Trump, Sirico answered, "I think what would concern Russell greatly is what this means for the body of conservative thought and movement."
Sirico urged the crowd to read Kirk's work and look at what it means to really disagree with somebody, not with who they are or what they look like.
At one point, O'Sullivan asked the crowd, "How many people here have been to a Trump rally?" About eight hands went up.
O'Sullivan said he recently saw Trump speak and called it an "extraordinary entertaining experience."
The free event was sponsored by the Russell Kirk Center in partnership with Acton Institute, the National Review Institute and Hope College's department of political science.
Panelists delved into the challenges they think populism poses on a conservative society.

Plant store opening soon at Fox Valley Technical College
FVTC to open plant store Plant store opening soon at Fox Valley Technical College Check out this story on postcrescent.com: http://post.cr/1qDSxlm

Fox Valley Technical College's horticulture club plans to open a plant store every Tuesday beginning Nov. 18. The store will feature tropical and house plants grown by club members and is open to the public. (Photo: Rob Zimmer/Post-Crescent Media )Buy Photo
If you're looking for great deals on indoor houseplants and other decorative foliage and flowering treasures, be sure to stop by the new plant store opening soon at Fox Valley Technical College.
Horticulture instructor Roxanne Rusch-Olesen said that the idea came from the college's Horticulture Club after a successful plant sale was held there earlier this year.
The students are excited to offer plants that they have propagated in the facility's main greenhouse for sale to the public.
The Green Thumbs Plant Store will be open every Tuesday beginning Nov. 18 in the main greenhouse at the Appleton campus behind the FVTC Agriculture Center. The Agriculture Center is located at the southwest corner of the campus. The main greenhouse is located behind the center.
The plant store will be open between noon and 1 p.m. over the lunch hour and again from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
The plants offered for sale are all propagated and grown by the students in the program. A wide variety of tropical and house plants have been propagated in various ways by students and the results are amazing.
Proceeds from the plant store will go toward educational field trips for students in the club. This includes the upcoming January Green Expo in Minneapolis.

The New Year's Day car bombing of a Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt has since set off a wave of protests, counter-protests, and angry recriminations that have much of Egypt reeling. The bombing killed 21 people. Though the country has a long history of peacefully coexisting with its Christians, known as Copts, this attack comes after a gradual rise in violence against the Coptic community over the past decade. The day after the attack, Coptic protesters in Cairo, outraged that Egyptian security was failing to protect them, attacked policemen, wounding 45. As Coptic Christmas approaches on January 7, many in Egypt fear more violence against the Coptic minority. The recent attack has also brought longer-term problems back into the public discourse as well. There's no shortage of blame being assigned both within and without the country. Here's what they're saying.
Return of 1990s Anti-Christian Violence The New York Times' Liam Stack and David Kirkpatrick call the attack "the bloodiest year in four decades of sectarian tensions in Egypt" and "the culmination of a long escalation of violence against Egypt's Coptic Christians." But still, it is newly brutal and "a break with the smaller episodes of intra-communal violence that have marked Muslim-Christian relations for the past decade. Instead, it was reminiscent of the 1990s attacks by Egyptian Islamist terrorists on Christians, tourists and government institutions."
Egypt's Christians Feel 'Besieged' The Associated Press' Paul Schemm writes, "In the last couple years in particular, the country's Coptic Christian minority, which makes up 10 percent of the country's 80 million, has felt under siege following a string of incidents." But it's been more than just violence. "Christians rioted after government forces violently stopped the construction of a church near Cairo in a long-running dispute over restrictions on building Christian houses of worship." In another incident, "the government ordered the destruction of a quarter-million pigs as a dubious prevention measure against swine flu, devastating the livelihoods of Cairo's large community of Christian garbage collectors, who raised the animals to dispose of organic waste. The Christians saw it as an expression of Muslim disgust at pigs thinly disguised as a health concern."
Egyptian Society Has Failed Al-Ahram columnist Hani Shukrallah fumes in an open letter to his fellow Egyptians.
Activists and Muslim Brotherhood Join in Coptic Protests The Daily New Egypt reports, "Hundreds of protestors from various opposition groupss--including the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)--gathered in Shubra on Saturday night to denounce the attack on Al-Qeddesine Church (The Church of the Two Saints) that occurred in Alexandria earlier that day." Al-Masry Al-Youm explains that the protests have come to incorporate wider anger against the authoritarian regime. "The protesters, who came from different political factions like Egyptians against Religious Discrimination group and the 6 April movement, chanted anti-government slogans such as, 'Down with the sectarian state,' and 'Long live the Crescent with the Cross."

Toro Rosso's Key rues lost opportunity in Russia
November 28, 2019	0	By JohnValbyNation
Scuderia Toro Rosso technical director James Key left Sochi last weekend thoroughly disappointed by the team's lack of result.
Max Verstappen was enjoying a good top 10 run when his Ferrari power unit expired a little after the halfway mark, while team mate Carlos Sainz finished a distant 12th after incurring a time penalty for forcing Jolyon Palmer's Renault off the track.
"Max was in an easy sixth place, slightly shy of the Williams pace on the SuperSofts, a bit better on the Softs," Key explained.
"All he had to do was continue as he was doing, he was very competitive and maybe he could have challenged [Felipe] Massa towards the end as he seemed to have higher tyre degradation than us."
In addition to the penaly imposed upon him, Sainz' underperformance was also a case of bad luck.
"In a completely freak situation, Carlos picked up a piece of Red Bull front wing end plate in the front of his left hand sidepod.
"It was sticking out of the cooling inlet and dramatically increased engine temperatures and he had to turn his engine right down.
"It also lost him an awful lot of aero performance which meant he had both much reduced engine power and less downforce for the opening laps of the race.
"It was a huge opportunity missed, because from a car and driver perspective we did everything we could and had very bad luck with both cars."

Home » Forums » Games » Diablo - Series » how do you beat the butcher?
how do you beat the butcher?
if your not strong enough to beat him you might want to gather up all your items from town, and start a new game with the same character....it will put new enemies in the catacombs and u get gain EXP on them.....the butcher is nothing special, he just has a lot of HP...so blast away at him with your best spell/sword and bring a lot of health pots.
still rather good to get more exp and level up at least once...your character will be stronger for the rest of the game then. If your a warrior or mage...or poor, the bow thing is very tedious.
thanks!!! I still can't be him tho. can anny one tell me what the best spell a warrior with 27 MAG could do?
Thats prob the hardest....Since you dont have the magic, the bow thing might be the best........if not you can follow through on my top and just get new exp so you'll be strong enough to beat him next time through.......or just skip him for now and clear other areas within the first 4 areas and build it up that way.
i only tried once :-p....pick a game that submits on the first go and doesnt let u have second chances...makes it more competative.
2) Only works if you got an area where you have a fence (which you can shoot your bow through) and a door. Clear the way there, open all the doors leading to the area. Open the butcher door, run your @$$ off, close the door with the fence et voila, you can shoot the butcher through the fence and he cant get to you.
All has been said. Although I do prefer Matrix's advice, which is what I did. I think I was already at level 4 when I encountered the Butcher again and I was able to kill him with no problems at all.
* NOTE: IT REQUIRES TO HAVE OPEN ALL THE MAP BEFORE OPENS THE BUTCHERS DOOR AND HAVE KILLED ALL THE LITTLE MONSTERS OF THE SCENNARY !!!!! THAT IS THE IMPORTANT THING TO KILL BUTCHER WITHOUT BE HIT.
WELL WITH BUTCHER FOLLOWING YOU GO DIRECTLY TO THE DOWNSTAIRS TO NEXT LEVEL ( LVL 5 ) AND START TO MAKE CIRCLES TROW THE STAIRS WITHOUT DOWN TO THE NEXT LEVEL, JUST MAKING CIRCLES NEAR THE STAIRS AND WHEN YOU ARE IN THE BACK SIDE OF THE STAIRS BUTCHER WILL TRY TO FOLLOW YOU ALWAYS IN A RECTI-LINE MOVEMENT, SO HE WILL BE TRAPPED IN THE STAIRS, AND YOU WILL BE SECURE BY THE WALL THAT DIVIDES THE STAIRS FROM THE BACK SIDE ( WHERE YOU ARE ).
JUST MAKE CIRCLES !! IT ALWAYS HAPPPES BECAUSE THE AI ( ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ) OF THE BUTCHER ARE LIMITED AND YOU NOW CHOOSE THE BOW AND KILL HIM WITHOUT RECIVE ANY DAMAGE. YOU WILL KILL HIM IN PERFECT!!!!!
thanks Matrix223. still i beat you in spank the monkey!!! anways thanks for the help!!!
There are cheats but i do not recommend cheating because it ruins the game, unless your gonna be like a hacked dueler/rusher or something along thoughs lines other wise once you have cheated the game is pretty much 123 you can hack your self a nice apoc staff or what ever its called and boost your war/mage mana up and just tele around useing the apoc staff.
Cheat: this takes time and isnt the easiest to explain its really only meant to make money/dupe books with out the use of a program.
First take the item you want to dupe. Okay now that you have that drop it on the ground...Perferably in a private game this way you dont have to panic. After its on the ground step a good distance away from it...Now this is the tricky part...click on the "item" on the ground and the instant you are going to pick it up grab a potion in your belt. Do not use the potion just pick the potion up from your belt...This can take some time but you will get it down...Once you have duped the item DO NOT DROP IT next to the uncopied item the dupe item will just delete its self. Hope this helps!
Hack: I find doom gaze to be the best which i believe you can find it on Extreme-gamerz.org like matrix said its kind of like a hero editor but for Diablo 1 it has a pretty simple interface and can be used with most of the item packs you find on extreme-gamerz.org which means you can become a elite...But as i said before this will ruin the game.
Hack#2: There are files called "dats" now to be honest i only know how they work i have no idea what they actually are but you can find them on Extreme-gamerz.org and they are like to make you invinceable and telewalk and some other stuff...You will need a program to use the dat which i will explain where to get it http://extreme-gamerz.org/diablo/viewdiablo/datprogs the one your looking for on here is Diablohack-v206 which allows use of the dat program. You will need this make sure you get it.
Once you have the Dat program and your dat...Just extract the program open it up and go to File and open data and find the "dat" you downloaded. Once you have done this it should be very easy to see what to do next. "game must be running first" Also make sure to extract the Dat file as well.
Ps. If any of this is not accurate please let me know so i may edit it. Thank you and i hope you all enjoy.


Happiness is not about a single moment or a constant high. It's a sum of experiences. You can have unpleasant times and still achieve overall happiness.
The good news is most people can increase their happiness. By applying proven tools, some which take only a few minutes to implement, one can learn to appreciate positive circumstances, shape surroundings, discover optimal practices, and benefit from understanding the mind-body connection.
One technique to help increase happiness is to surround yourself with items that will inspire you to be happy. This could include photos of people who are significant to you, inspirational quotes, pictures of your favorite places, artwork, memorabilia, movie posters, plants, flowers, meaningful books, family members' craft projects, letters, emails, cards, toys, and anything that is positively meaningful to you. Make sure to notice the items as often as possible, even for a few minutes every day.
To get started, add just one item. Choose something that as soon as you look at it, or even think about it, it brings a smile to your face. Put it somewhere you'll be sure to notice it.
If you're applying this technique to your workspace, remember to be considerate and use items that do not offend colleagues or break workplace policies.
You can be happier and flourish. Sometimes, increasing your happiness is as simple as looking around you.

Kookaburra is a 100% Australian owned company and has been making first-class cricket gear for over a hundred years.

We guarantee you will not be disappointed with the quality of the bat that you receive and that you will get many years of pleasure from it.
The Best Bats Made from the Best Materials
All of the Kookaburra cricket bats in Australia are made from top-quality willow, which is left to dry naturally after being harvested. Handles are made from straight pieces of Sarawak cane with even strands, picked for their unique combination of lightness and strength. If you believe, as we do, that the wood that goes into each bat is of prime importance, you will be sure to appreciate the range of Kookaburra bats that can be found in our cricket store online. If you decide to purchase a bat from this range, you will be in excellent company: Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Martin Guptill and Ian Bell are just a few of the world-class batsmen who currently use Kookaburra cricket bats when playing in international test matches.
The Kahuna bats made by Kookaburra are probably the most famous in its current range but there are plenty of other first-class bats coming out of their Australian production facility that could be perfect for you. Power players should definitely take a look at the Bubble while the Dynasty is an excellent choice for batsmen and women who favour finesse over raw power. Whatever your style of play and level of ability, you are sure to find the perfect bat for your needs within what we think is one of the most impressive ranges of cricket bats online.

After over a year of planning and production, the bodies and beats app is finally available.
Based on the Video Installation Exquisite Motion Corpse.
This has been an ongoing collaboration with Chris Sandon and myself. It all started when we Chris had an idea of how to use some old TVs. Shortly after that we created an video installation known as Exquisite Motion Corpse debut at the 50th Ann Arbor Film Festival. That quickly evolved into a Kickstarter Campagin to develop an app based on the original art installed. And now Bodies and Beats is here!
Thanks to all of our 104 backers who donated to our Kickstarter Campagin. Without their support this app would have never happened. Also extra big thanks to Mux Mool, Mogi Grumbes, Sun Hammer, Beautiful Bells and JDSY for donating music to the Kickstarter album (download zip here) and music loops for the app! Also extra big thanks to Adam E. Hunt who jumped in and helped contribute his skills to the project.
The app is no longer available on the app store.
Check out the official Kickstarter page!
In my never ending pursuit to try something new, I'm working on a new iOS app called "bodies and beats" to help fund the project we are launching a kickstarter for the project. The video says it all!
The App: Bodies and Beats turns you into a digital mashup artist. Create your own video collages set to beats, and then change the elements with a touch of your finger to discover something new. This iOS app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is inspired by our original interactive video installation, Exquisite Motion Corpse.
How it Works: Build your body! Pick from a video catalog of body segments – from the surreal to the hilarious – all accompanied by unique beats and sound effects from musicians like Mux Mool, Mogi Grumbles, JDSY and Brael. Mix and remix the elements to create something crazy, something funny, something weird.
You control the video speed, with half-time and double-time controls. Or randomize the video clips to discover new combinations.
Backstory: Our original four-channel video installation features a life-sized tower of screens controlled with a podium-mounted touchscreen. Users swap body segments synced to a beat clock.

Exchange rate of the Thai baht to dollar for today
Comparison of the Thai baht to U.S. dollar exchange rate at banks and exchange offices in Thailand.
US Dollar British Pound Euro Russian Ruble
Average bank exchange rate from data above: Buy 1 usd = 32.68 thb / Sell 1 usd = 33.15 thb
Course Dynamics
From the middle of the 20th century until 1973, Thai baht was changed at a rate of 20.8 for $ 1. It was a fixed quote. Until 1978, the value of the American currency was 20 ฿. In 1997, the financial crisis came in Asia, after which the bat instantly fell in price 2 times, by early 1998, the dollar was costed 56 ฿. On December 19, 2006, the Bank of Thailand adopted a series of measures that led to a significant discrepancy between the exchange rates on the shelf and onshore with a spread of up to 10% between the two markets. Control was withdrawn in the spring of 2008.
The global crisis caused the fall of the US currency, by March 2009 the exchange rate changed to 36 THB for 1 USD. The last 10 years, the Thai economics remains relatively stable. Today, the country's currency ranks 10th in the world among the most used.

You can be broke ,but I still travel.
Anything you want requires sacrifices.
I could go on forever on how traveling is not expensive at all. You do not have to win the lottery to book a holiday. I remember daydreaming about going to Paris when I was in high school for a French trip. The price at the time for a two-week trip was $3500. My high school self-felt like that was million dollars because my mother could never afford that; however, I did finally make it to Paris in 2017. At the age of 25, I went to Paris on a roundtrip ticket for $387, see how I book cheap flights here, help-guide.html. Yes, you read that right. For the cost of one Michael Kors or Kate Spade bag, I flew to Paris, France. That deal stills blows my mind, but it taught me a lot about the art of traveling and how anyone, even you, can afford to travel. So, without further ado, let's get into these broke girl tips and hacks on how you can afford to travel.
priority? This can be a tricky question because we are humans with diverse interests and wants. Trust me, coming from an ex-shopaholic, I get that saving can be difficult, but to achieve any spending goal, you have to save and prioritize. I love traveling, and I consider that to be my top priority. I save about 30% of each pay check. I realize that 30% is bit much to save all at once, so here is a unique way to save. Save all your change and $5&$1 bills up in old milk jugs. One year, I saved $ in change; I used this for my 270 spending money in Paris.
Partner Travel: Traveling solo through the years has impacted my life in a million ways. It has enhanced my confidence in trusting my own decision, but partner travel has its own set of benefits. One big benefit is saving money. When you have a person to go 50/50 on everything it helps maximize your experiences while minimizing your spending. When you are booking excursions and tours, I always use Groupon and Viator because they have several 2-for-1 deals. This helps you and your partner save on those yacht trips and museum tickets. Share the savings, and don't be selfish.
Understanding Flight Deals: I will repeat this until I am blue in the face, but there is ZERO need to pay over $500 for an international flight. I can say this with confidence. I take my time and look for flight deals for every destination international or domestic. Budget airlines and I are besties they love me and I adore them. I will gladly take an $80 round-trip on Frontier to Miami. Also using outlets like #ScottsCheapFlight, Skyscanner and Hopper for finding flight deals. They all have a unique way of finding and delivering the information to their audience (you). Just wait patiently for a flight deal to your destination. Trust me, they are coming and it will save you money.
Maximizing Credit Card Rewards: Using credit card rewards is a new concept that I learned this year from another travel blogger and it has helped me have extra cash to use on things I want. There are several different credit cards that offer rewards for travel, but I suggest researching them and understanding your interest rate, annual fees, and reward programs. I currently have the Wells Fargo Cash Wise credit card. This card lets me earn cash back on various purchases that I make every day. For example, every purchase I make at Wal-Mart I will receive 5% cash back. I never spend more than 30% of my credit card limit each month; this keeps my debt to income ratio down. Every month I get about $200 cash back that I use to buy plane tickets or pay for other expenses.
Staying Flexible: Out of all of my travel tips this is my favorite. Being flexible with when, where and how I travel has saved me so much money over the years. WHEN: understanding when is the off-season of travel destination can help you save on peak prices on accommodations and flights. WHERE: I learned through research that some locations are always going to be expensive, like Paris or Santorini, but learning how to navigate where to stay outside of those main cities can help you save. HOW: sometimes it is cheaper to drive or take a train vs. flying. I always turn a road trip into an adventure plus getting there is half the fun.
I hope this provided some good insight on how I am able to travel around the world. Let me know in the comments if you have used any of the advanced traveling tips!
If you are smart enough to deal with life, you would know that traveling should be part of our lives yet we wouldn't get to spend too much. As what we all know, there are "life hacks" that we can do without being broke! This is a good thing because traveling locally and internationally has been the trend on social media, and people were choosing different destinations where they can have their vacation. As of the moment, I've been to three countries, and I couldn't ask for more!
That is great ! I have been to 10 countries to date and 15 states. Traveling is something the soul needs!

This large, three and one-half story masonry single house was constructed c. 1800-1802 by Caspar Christian Schutt, a Charleston merchant of German descent. The exterior features a hipped roof and dormers, a dentil brick cornice, with stucco over brick, except for the north façade which is brick in the Flemish bond pattern. The deep lot also holds several of the original structures, including a kitchen house, carriage house, servants' quarters and stables. Charles T. Lowndes, a wealthy merchant, purchased the property in 1836 and the property was enhanced and enlarged from its original design. The adjacent lot was purchased and the building on it demolished in order to create a formal garden and entrance where this gate is located. In addition, the existing three tiered piazzas were constructed distinguished by graduating orders of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns and turned balusters.

Flint is the world's first retractable and refillable lint roller. I do not know about you but if you have a pet whom you love to death but they shed hair and it gets all over your clothes it really is not presentable for work, parties, job interviews etc.. That is where Flint comes in all you do was twist the base just like a tube of lipstick and the Flint lint roller extends. Simply press the top down to close. When retracted the paper stays clean inside and can be reused and never sticks to things that shouldn't. Because of the size it's compact and durable so you can take it anywhere you want to go. Perfect for your closet, car, desk drawer, purse pocket, suitcase, briefcase, or any other place you desire it to be. When you are down with one, you just pull off the refill and then pop on the next one.
Each refill contains 30 reusable sheets. These are made with Japanese paper because it is the best and they were able to make it perfectly stick and easy to peel. These are eco-friendly for the planet make it him reusable, recyclable and refillable. You can get a variety of colors to go with your personality I chose some from the Arctic collection Granite, Sapphire, Emerald and Sunrise.
My Opinion: I really like how small these are they do fit perfectly in your purse and they are easy to open and use I use this for my long hair and ends up getting fuzz all over my close my dog doesn't really shed. You know black never keeps anything clean anyways.


For some time now, I've known that Barry Ritholtz's new book Bailout Nation was definitely not going to be kind to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, but, had I known that it would offer the most damning critique of his term at the central bank, I certainly wouldn't have let the book sit on my desk for the last few weeks before finally picking it up the other day and polishing it off in record time.
With the subtitle How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy, it was natural to think the focus might be more on greed than easy money, but that's really not the case.
Greed is a constant on Wall Street and, for that matter, in most of the rest of the world, but financial systems don't implode unless generously lubricated with easy money, bailouts, and moral hazard - key elements of the Greenspan legacy.
Ironically, Fed economists and assorted hangers-on are meeting in Jackson Hole this week to deliberate on what's changed in the world of finance and monetary policy over the last year.
It was four years ago at that same gathering (i.e., before the housing and credit bubbles met their respective pins) that some were still lauding the former Fed chief as "the greatest central banker of all time" in something of a "going-away" party.
Anyway, the book is not only fun-filled, thanks to the inimitable writing style of Mr. Ritholtz, but it's chock full of interesting little bits of information and perspective that, even to me, cast new light on what will surely be looked back upon as a disastrous period for central banking.
For example, it is common knowledge that Alan Greenspan was much more interested in asset prices than were his predecessors - they didn't coin the term "the Greenspan put" for nothing - but this passage gives the concept a bit more color.
History teaches us that the development of Bailout Nation, Wall Street edition, was not done in secret meetings. Rather, it occurred in the very public functions of the Federal Reserve, and the subsequent results of its policy actions.
The Greenspan Fed created an endemic culture of excessive risk taking. The U.S. central bank created moral hazard not by targeting inflation or the business cycle, but instead by focusing on asset prices. From the squishy focus on psychology, it was a short hop to asset prices. After all, when price go down, it negatively impacts sentiment, right? This was the Fed's fatal flaw under Greenspan's leadership.
The Fed's previous rate cuts had only implied a concern over asset prices; now, the chief explicitly affirmed the fact. The Fed was not concerned just about inflation and employment; asset prices were an "integral part" of its calculus, too.
This was revolutionary. Fed chiefs didn't usually care so much about stock prices; they were more concerned with the bond market. After all, it was the fixed-income traders - known as bond ghouls for their morbid affection for bad economic news - who set interest rates. Worries about deficits, inflation, and trade balances all found a receptive audience among the bond traders.
Once Wall Street figured out Greenspan was concerned about equity prices, it wasn't too long before it learned how to play the Fed like the devil's fiddle. When rate cuts did not materialize, the Street would have itself a hissy fit. It is always ill advised to anthropomorphize markets, but observing the market kick and scream when cuts weren't forthcoming was akin to watching a two-year-old throw a tantrum. It may be illegal to manipulate the markets, but no trader will ever got thrown in jail for manipulating Greenspan.
Unfortunately, the current Fed chairman seems to share this same trait.
Barry's book is indeed a great read that sheds a lot of light on how the heck we got here. Unfortunately, it also shows that most of what the fed is doing today probably won't fix the problems we have. At best current policy will kick the can down the road.


Hello everyone, Dawn here and today we are going to chat about a few things that you may or may not be seeing in the news regarding electronic cigarettes. And oh boy had there been a lot going on. Some good news, some not so great and some just strait out bull crap as well as some needed updates. Today we are going to take a look at this list of headlines/current events and what we at A Clean Cigarette think about each.
This bit of information deserves a special call out to one of our amazing customers Tracy Albert. He is always keeping an ear out for us and he brought this to our attention. Thank You Tracy!
This Congressman has a lot to say on the new regulations and bills being sent through the government. It's a short video and worth the click. We could not agree with him more when he basically says that vapor devices, of all types, are the way of the future.
That is the definition of bad science there, but the reason we think this is bad science is because of what our customers have to say. Let's here from a couple of them now. They can tell us if e-cigarettes helped them or not.
Matthew Vincre- I started smoking when I was 21, when I started going to bars. Many years later I met my wife and had some children. I am now 29 and quit smoking using E-cigs. It has been 12 weeks without a cigarette. I quit for my kids. Thanks E cigarettes!
If you are interested in hearing from even more of our amazing customers check out our FREE A Clean Cigarette Magazine. It's available HERE on line or for a paper copy stop into any of our store locations. We are proud of what our amazing customers have to say and we are truly thankful for each and every one of you.
Alright so then what about this headline..
Nothing like mixed signals right? On one hand the FDA and other "powers that be" would like you to believe that electronic cigarettes are NOT a useful tool; but they want to to know they would be a useful tool, if those same "powers that be" can make money off of them via regulations and the cost's associated with regulations.
The thing is we are not against all regulations. We are just forever hopeful that the regulations will keep companies like A Clean Cigarette brand electronic cigarettes in mind. They have a history of making the regulatory process to expensive that only big corporations such as big tobacco and big pharmacy can compete. Not only do small companies like ours suffer, consumers like you suffer.
This article updates us on this side of the pond about whats been happening in the UK since the 95% Public Health England Report opened the doors for electronic cigarettes as quit smoking aids.
Here are a few quotes from the article, although the whole thing is worth the read.
"This shift can be attributed to positive reviews about the products and their efficacy in helping smokers quit".
They also post a really great chart from The anti-smoking charity, ASH that explains well WHO is buying electronic cigarettes and WHY.
There are a lot of other headlines and events going on in the e-cigarette industry, today we touched on just a few of them. As more information arises on some headlines we will do post to keep you as up to date as we can. If you have a subject you would like more information on, leave a comment here or drop me a line at AccAnswers@gmail.com. I will always do my best to get the information you deserve. Thank you so much for stopping in today and I hope to have you back very soon!
