How to Manage Your Credit Card Smartly


I have felt a large amount of overwhelmed in the last few months. I've traveled to Indiana and Montana, watched my grandmother begin recovering from a stroke and seen a new baby just days after his birth. I've watched the sun set over some of the bluest water and coolest mountains that I've seen, and I've experienced physical pain that I can't begin to describe. I've watched friends get engaged and married and seen new babies, and watched my other grandmother struggle to speak mere sentences so that we know she's still in there. I've begun counting the days until I leave my job and I've prayed fervently that God would provide Christopher with employment.
Perhaps it is all why the happy is so mixed in with the sad. Perhaps my latest grace-laden acquisition of discipline is keeping me in joy and perspective when everything is changing.
There are times when I pray that God would simply shock my system. I know that I am owed nothing and yet, day by day He pours forth grace when I know that all I deserve, sans Christ, is death and vengeance. I've been thirsty to know the Spirit's movement and afraid when I finally do. I feel I have lost a lot of who I have been in Christ, but yet I have not found Christ in lieu of my absence. I'm not quite sure what that means – I just know that it's there.
And if that's the case . . .
I so very often fail to give thanks for even the smallest blessings, like fresh water or the idea that I can sit down and read the Spirit-inspired words written on pages in a book that is banned in several countries and neutered in our own. I do not appreciate the fact that I am able to converse with others freely, without labored speech, or consume liquids without thickening them, as my grandmothers have had need to do. My thirst can be easily quenched, regardless of whether or not God ever gives me anything. He has given me all that I could ever need for life and godliness!
It is so simple to not realize the gift it is to have my husband next to me at night. We have a wonderful home and share it with good people. We sleep well. We have air conditioning! The Father in all His glory has no reason whatsoever to feed and protect us, and yet He does night after night, week after week, year after year. How dare I doubt that He has anything but good for us? But dare I assume that I understand what that good might look like?
Because, you see, in my years I've seen kids who have been emotionally starved by their parents but who are given everything they could ever want and I've seen families with nothing in foreign countries who give what little they have away and who are the most joyful, content people I have ever known. I've known people to experience the common grace of God through the simple act of holding a newborn in their arms or through marrying their best friend and I've known others, believers, to die without explicable reason. If all we had was taken from us, would we still give thanks to the One who orchestrated the sun to set in such a brilliant display? Would we doubt His goodness if our lot was that of the rural woman in Guatemala, trying to feed her family with whatever can be found?
Perhaps the world has messed with my head. Perhaps it is as they tell you in media studies, that everything can be interpreted either as a scheme to buy something or as a scheme to advance conformity/socialist tendencies. Regardless, I am more and more certain that the third perspective is the best one to hold – that there is no direct effect. It starts and ends in my head, with my heart. As downhere so deftly puts it, "the problem with the world is me." I do not understand what I truly have need for – I do not even process daily my need for a Savior!
If I never finish my tea tonight or if I never walk out of bed in the morning; if the world is suddenly dark and I never again see a friend smile or find joy in something simple; if I never have children or we fail to be able to pay our bills; if I find myself paralyzed in speech and with Christ as my only companion… Would I be content? Would Christ truly be my companion? Could I find joy in silence or peace in difficult circumstances? Would I understand that I still have all that I could ever need when all I could ever want is no longer there on top of it?
In the wisdom of Martin Smith, I pray that God would "save me, from the kingdom of comfort where I am king." The heavens are certainly aware of the despot who sits on that throne.

Street Drag – McLaren 720S vs. Jeep Trackhawk
Today, we are taking a ride along with Forza Tuning and Performance founder and President Brenton Brown in a McLaren 720S. Brenton is an entrepreneur, a father and one of the leading performance gurus in the nation. Just for kicks, Brenton is putting the McLaren up against a stock Jeep Trackhawk in a drag race (on a closed course). Let's see what he thinks about this British beauty and what it can do with the most powerful production SUV on the planet.
With the capacity to produce 710hp and 568 lb.-ft. of torque, the McLaren 720S is by any standard a supercar. A mid-engine rocket of an automobile, the 720S is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 engine being force fed copious amounts of air by a pair of electronically actuated twin scroll turbochargers. At a curb weight of 2,828-pounds, the 720S can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9-seconds. It has a top speed of 212 mph.
The Jeep Trackhawk is the Hellcat of the SUV segment. With a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 the all-wheel drive Trackhawk can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5-seconds. The massive HEMI makes 707hp and 645 lb.-ft. of torque. It weighs 5,356-pounds and has a top speed of 200 mph. The Jeep can turn a quarter mile in 11.6-seconds at 116 mph.
Check the video to see how this one shakes out.

PRISON, psychological torment, the right and wrong paths.
Few top footballers are more qualified in personal experience to teach youths about the harder sides of life, harsh environments and ultimately making the grade.
Marko Arnautovic, born and raised in Vienna, has made it his mission to steer the next generation away from knives, drugs and crime.
The 29-year-old 'role model' is taking a hands-on approach in West Ham's Players' Project, launched on Wednesday.
While he acknowledges getting through to every child is impossible, Arnautovic hopes he can relate to many.
The Austria captain reveals: "I had a lot of friends who were also football players. Some of them ended up in prison, some of them had injuries.
"I think of my group of friends, I am the only one who is a professional footballer.
"Even the ones in prison?" he's asked.
Even while seeing the reward grafting brings - with Arnautovic now on wages upwards of six figures-a-week at West Ham and adored by supporters - it's a challenge to convince the average youth they too can achieve great things.
"It's very hard to put this in the kids' minds, to everyone. There's a lot of people on this planet.
"Everyone is trying, we are trying, all the different clubs, the Premier League, the politicians.
"But you can't change a child, woman or man who's got this in their head. You can't take it out.
"I see a lot of stuff in my life - they start selling drugs and selling this and that. I think they take this way because it is easy.
One of the most serious issues currently among youths, and especially in Arnautovic's adopted home of London, is knife crime.
In his teenage years, the Austrian was no stranger to having to fight his way out of trouble - but he considers weapon carriers as cowards.
"It has changed a lot. Before, back in the day when I was young, when you had some problems, you dealt with it with your hands.
"No-one had a knife. Now it has changed.
"I think there are a lot of mafia movies that show that maybe you are a tough guy when you put something in your pocket. But it is very dangerous.
"I just give advice to stay away from that, stay with your friends who are close to you.
While he had the love and support of his family, Arnautovic had to defy his father.
When taking a test for a job, West Ham's No.7 refused to write to force his dad's hand in helping him on his journey.
As an aspiring player growing up and 'bad boy' when he arrived in England with Stoke, he simply dreamed big.
Although the grass is not always greener either.
The psychological strains - the limelight, the responsibility, your career being permanently on the line - are enormous.
Marko is like any other person, and proclaims: "When you know the life of a footballer, you'll cry, believe me!
"We don't talk about money, you cry.
"Sometimes because there is so much pressure on you, you have to deal with this because a lot of players go 'I'm okay, no worries' - it's not right, because in the game, it's affecting you.
"We also have feelings. If it's not possible [to give your all] maybe he has some personal issue, maybe he has some form issue - it can be a million things.
"When everything is running well in your private life, your family, this and that, then it runs in football as well. This is what it is.
You might feel there are two sides to the Premier League star goalscorer from a little town in Vienna.
The Players' Project represents West Ham United's commitment and vision to use to the power of sport to motivate, educate and inspire people in the local community. First team players will be helping to drive core community programmes that are delivering life changing experiences throughout the season.

City ~ A Goal is an image
By postrockcafe / October 26, 2017 / Electronic / Leave a comment
It all started with Will Ballantyne's Arcadia mix for Halcyon Veil: 20 tracks in 20 minutes, a non-linear, ever-morphing mix that called upon a cornucopia of styles to make a lasting impression. At 36 minutes, the ensuing album is not much longer, but it's deeper, expanding on many of the tracks in the initial mix. As such, A Goal is an image is a solid declaration for City, an exciting new artist rightfully compared with Logos, Rabit and others in a swiftly evolving genre that is moving so quickly it doesn't have time for a proper name. (For proof, listen to Rabit's Bleached World, from the upcoming Les Fleurs de Mal, also on Halcyon Veil; Rabit has already gravitated to a different style. Or is it that such artists never settle on a single style in the first place?)
Some albums purposely fall apart at the end, scattering sonic fragments across the board. (Ólafur Arnalds' Eulogy for Evolution is a prime example, sounding like a faulty circuit). City starts with collapse, to the extent that listeners may be checking their iPods for potential glitches. "Provinces" may be only 88 seconds long, but it ruins expectations before they can gel, clearing the board and creating a sense of anticipatory curiosity.
The tracks remain short, but for the most part, they are more interested in textures and patterns than anything resembling verses, choruses and bridges. One might make the case that they are all bridges. At times, the timbres are gentle and ambient ("Your Stream"), only to pave the way for whistles and gunshot percussion ("Pain Power", first heard in Arcadia). The mastering is so crisp and immediate that it seems larger than life; to paraphrase Blade Runner, "more replicant than replicant." If this is what the future sounds like, we want more of it.
The shadow of industrial music is also present, especially on the album's longest piece, "SAR", which sounds like something Intermix might have composed in its early days. A few publications have even taken to calling this genre "industrial grime" or "cyber grime", but we're not yet comfortable with the designation, as it leaves out the tracks that are not suited for the dance floor. "Mutual Life" has beats and gravity, but it's closer to experimental music than to EBM. Only "Inevitable", with its guttural repetitions of "Trouble", really fits this mold, and even then, the pauses inhibit movement. Better perhaps to say that City is painting with electronic numbers. You can dance if you want to (and by "Immaculate", you will), but if you don't dance, you can still be his (virtual) friend.
Genre designations aside, this is an incredibly exciting time for electronic music. Emerging from a long frame of stagnation, the scene is now bursting with creativity. The old templates have been discarded as artists have begun to create from scratch. While there will always be room for songs with steady beats, those with unsteady beats are winning our hearts.

Q: Joomla - Overriding getItem method I want to override the method getItem() found in file \administrator\components\com_content\models\article.php
line 257 public function getItem($pk = null)
I need to modify the return value based on the value of variable $pk.
How do I do this?
I am hoping to find a way to not to modify the core.
Also, if override is possible, can I make a plugin out of it?
Am using Joomla 2.5.9

A: With some more searching, came across a beautiful solution.
All I needed was to override the model (article.php) under com_content. This got it done.
Using the Plugin Override plugin the Joomla core can be overridden. Found a great article on the same on digitaldisseny
The documentation on overriding Joomla! core's MVC using this is here
Hope it helps others too.
Any better ideas are highly welcome.

It all began with a ride in the Bohemian Forest. It was a lovely summer's day and I was feeling bored with playing chess with my father, the king. Every afternoon, after his meeting with the king's men, he'd call me.
On this particular day, my father had fallen asleep thinking about his next chess move. I took the opportunity to escape to the stables, saddle up my faithful mare, Matilde, and go for a ride in the Bohemian Forest, adjoining my father's kingdom.
Nightingales sang in the forest, and the air was like a Brahms's melody with the bird and animal sounds. It was then that my ears were enraptured by the most melodious and haunting music I had ever heard in my 20 years. I was drawn to the plaintive notes of a young maiden's voice; so lonesome and sad it brought tears to my eyes.
Suddenly, the forest turned dark and sinister. The maiden stopped singing. I found myself standing outside a large tower that reached up to the heavens. I hid behind an old oak tree and waited.
A large, ugly hag with blackened teeth, misshapen nose and dark glittering crow eyes stood directly at the bottom of the tower. She smelt like she could do with a good soak in a bathtub full of lavender and primrose.
Then, I heard the old crone whispering so as not to let anyone in the wood know what she was saying.
What on earth did she mean? How can one let down one's hair?
I had been studying English, as well as German, French and Latin, just like the Brothers Grimm; but nowhere had I come across that syntax or vocabulary.
I had just about made my mind up that the old crone was cuckoo, or batty, as you say in Australia, when a cascade of silken threads the colour of spun gold descended from the casement of the tower.
The old crone hitched up her long black cloak, revealing thin chicken legs and large boots and scurried up the golden tresses like a white-tailed rat up a coconut tree.
After a few hours, the crone descended and disappeared into the forest.
Her golden tresses were like a stairway to heaven. I scaled up and was at the casement within a few minutes.
Rapunzel's eyes widened, "My, My. Look at you." Her violet eyes sparkled with amazement.
"Oh the birds and the bees fill me in on all that goes on in the neighbourhood," she replied with a wink.
To cut a long story short, we spent all afternoon in the cool of the tower, getting to know one another.
Over the next few months, we spent a lot of time together, managing to fool Gromel, Rapunzel's nickname for her witch grandmother.
One day, however, Rapunzel got impatient with Gromel.
As soon as the words were out, Rapunzel would have given anything to take them back because she knew the jealous old crone would punish her.
The Bohemian Forest hath no fury like a witch humiliated. Gromel cut Rapunzel's beautiful tresses and confiscated her princess attire, and then banished her to the outer woods, where werewolves and bears lurk.
I had to go away to battle for a few weeks and was not aware that our secret had been discovered.
You could have blown me down with a feather, when I scaled the beautiful golden stairway to find the glittering coal black eyes of the old crone staring into my face. The shock of her face at the casement and her foetid breath made me lose my balance. Gromel gave an almighty shove.
I found myself freefalling into the briar bushes at the bottom of the tower. The thorns scratched my eyes. Day became night. I was blinded.
I wandered for months in the Bohemian Forest unable to see or find my way out. The birds and animals in the forest, who had got to know me through my visits to Rapunzel, brought me nuts, fruit and berries to sustain me.
I had been wandering in the forest for about twelve months, when I heard the sound of babies crying and a maiden singing. The song haunted me because it sounded so much like Rapunzel's siren call.
The singing stopped, but the crying continued. I took out my violin and played Brahms's lullaby and the crying stopped.
"Henrick, is that you?" Where are you?
"Outside your cottage door," I replied.
Rapunzel rushed into my arms.
With that she pointed to the twins lying on a bed of straw.
"Oh, Henrick, what are we going to do?" Rapunzel's tears drowned my eyes.
Suddenly there was flash of light so blinding that I had to close my eyes. The whole forest was bathed in a sea of colour: emerald green, saffron, indigo, violet and sapphire. My sight had been restored. I could see again.
I grabbed Rapunzel and waltzed around the cottage. She looked like a fairy queen with the sunlight glinting through the window on her hair, the colour of spun gold. The following morning we rode back to the palace with the twins.
How I was going to explain Rapunzel and the twins to my father the king was going to be another story.

A: If you need to join a tables in more than one column, create anonymous types with both sides having same number of fields. It should be like;
new {col1 = x.col1, col2 = x.col2, ...} equals new { col1 = y.col1, col2 = y.col2, ...}

Q: Is there a better way in C# to reserve long variable name? var test = Class1.Subclass1.Subclass2.PropertyNameWhichIsBigName

I have to use above in many places. How to avoid typing or save few key stroke? is there any shortcut in C#

A: Yes, you can use Namespace aliases:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/namespaces/using-namespaces
using ShortName = Class1.Subclass1.Subclass2;
And then
var test = ShortName.PropertyNameWhichIsBigName;

A: How about a function:
Func<typeOfProperty> someName = () => Class1.Subclass1.Subclass2.PropertyNameWhichIsBigName;

if you now call
var test = someName();

you would get your desired value without having to type the long chain of properties all the time.
Edit:
Just to be clear, if PropertyNameWhichIsBigName changes, someName() will return the new value.

A: You can use namespace aliasing and just call it in namespaces section in your code, and you can effectively use objects and functions all over the body @canton7 has already written example for that.
or you can use code blocks statements but you have to implement IDisposable, but this can limit your object calling section but you can get benefit fit automatic dispose.
 class Class1
{
   public class Subclass1
    {
      public  class Subclass2 : IDisposable
        {
            public string PropertyNameWhichIsBigName { get; set; }

            public void Dispose()
            {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
        }
    }
}
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (Class1.Subclass1.Subclass2 obj = new Class1.Subclass1.Subclass2())
        {
            string propertiesValue = obj.PropertyNameWhichIsBigName;
        }
    }
}


My name is Sandra Calleros I am a sophomore here at NSC and I am currently in the journey of getting into our fabulous nursing program. Nursing became my calling later in life, when I say "later" I mean after getting married, having kids and discovering that teaching was not for me. As a nontraditional student I can honestly say that I am enjoying college this second time around, especially because NSC is such a friendly close knit community. When I am not studying I enjoy reading fantasy novels, watching Game of thrones, spending time with my family and finding ways to stay involved in great causes.
I find that writing is as hard as you make it in your own head. As a student I discovered that the secret to writing is finding a process that really works for you personally and sticking to it. I also discovered that comparing yourself to others is a way of setting yourself up for failure. Everyone has their own way of doing things, and not everyone comes to college knowing everything there is about academic writing. As a writing specialist I hope to aid students through the winding road of finding that process, along with being that person that can relate to their situations.

Route Z1
Croatia Cruises on the Route Z1 Islands Paradise of Northern Dalmatia
1 week Islands Paradise of Northern Dalmatia from Zadar / Sightseeing cruises
One of the stations of Croatia cruise route Z1 is the National Park Krka. Move the motor sailer until "Skradinski Buk", where Krka falls on a length of 800 meters and about 17 waterfalls in the depth.
Saturday: Zadar–Vodice
From 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, boarding time in the port of Zadar. If you arrive by your own car, you can proceed to the port already from 10:00 am and unload your luggage. Our serviceteam will show you the parking lot where you can leave your car. After embarkation, our representatives will welcome you aboard with a drink and you will meet the crew and your fellow passengers. After a lunch snack "Cast off!", heading towards one of the numerous islands, where we will enjoy our first dip into the sea. We will then continue towards Vodice, a bustling holiday resort. After dinner on board, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the evening with a glass of wine in one of the cosy taverns or Konobas. For passengers arriving later, transfer to the port of Vodice and embarkation in the evening.
Sunday: Vodice–Šibenik–Skradin
A few miles further south, we leave the Adriatic Sea and turn into the embouchure of the River Krka. We go upstream and anchor in Šibenik. Šibenik, mentioned for the first time in 1006, is the youngest of the larger cities on the coast, and at the same time, the oldest Croatian town; as it was not built by Greeks, Romans, or Byzantines, but founded by Croats. The most famous building in the fortress-like old town is the St. Jacob's Cathedral, the most important Renaissance monument in Croatia. Enjoy a stroll through the old town, before we continue on to Skradin, located shortly before the famous Krka waterfalls. Overnight stay in Skradin.
Monday: Skradin & Krka Water- falls–Island of Zlarin
After breakfast, you will have the opportunity to visit "Skradinski Buk", the most impressive part of the amazing National Park, where in 17 waterfalls, with up to 100 m broad cascades, the Krka River rushes down 46 metres. Make sure you bring your swimwear – a swim in the clear waters of the Krka River just below the falls is a truly unique experience. (Park entrance, including boat ride approx. € 12–15, payable on-site). After our visit to the National Park, we will continue our voyage downstream and return to the Adriatic Sea and its islands. We will sail to the Island of Zlarin to enjoy a refreshing dip at one of the island's secluded bays. Overnight stay in the small port of Zlarin.
Tuesday: Island of Zlarin–Kornati Islands National Park–Zadar Archipelago
According to the Irish author George Bernard Shaw (who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925), "On the last day of creation, God crowned his work, and thus created, out of tears, stars and breath, the Kornati Islands". The beautiful scenery, countless small and large islands (according to local lore "an island for every day of the year"), and the beautiful sea – all this makes the Kornati Islands a unique paradise. It is the largest and most dense archipelago in the Adriatic Sea – it comprises 147 islands, islets and reefs with a total area of 69 km 2 , spread over 230 km 2 . They cover an area of 35 km of length and 13 km of width among the islands of Dugi Otok in the north-west, Žirje in the southeast, and Pašman, Vrgada and Murter in the north and northeast. We cruise along the entire length of the Kornati Islands and head towards a bay for a swim. Overnight stay at one of the island places of the Zadar-Archipelago – e.g. Sali, Božava, Zverinac or Molat.
Wednesday: Zadar Archipelago– Island of Rab
Our today's destination is the Island of Rab. On our way to Rab, we will take a break at the Island of Pag to enjoy a refreshing swim at one of the numerous beautiful bays. We will reach the Island of Rab in the late afternoon. Do not miss out to explore the old town on our guided city tour. The old town of Rab, with its impressive bell towers, stretches around a narrow, rocky promontory, flanked by water. Three streets pass through the old town – the "Lower Street" (Donja Ulica) with cafés and pubs, the "Middle Street" (Srednja Ulica) with boutiques, souvenir shops and ice cream parlours, and the "Upper Street" (Gornja Ulica), which leads to the four churches with their bell towers. Overnight stay in Rab.
Thursday: Island of Rab–Island of Lošinj–Island of Pag/Island of Olib
After breakfast, we will set off for the Island of Lošinj, where we will anchor in the picturesque port of Veli Lošinj. Emitting a lovely, bustling Mediterranean atmosphere, this place is just right to enjoy a drink or a coffee in one of the numerous bars and cafés. You will have approximately two hours to explore Veli Lošinj, before we continue our voyage to the south. Lunch will be served on board, accompanied by lovely views of a picturesque bay of Lošinj or the Island of Ilovik, where we will not only stay for lunch but also have plenty of time for swimming and sunbathing. We will reach Mandre on the Island of Pag or Olib on the homonymous Island in the late afternoon. Overnight stay in Mandre or Olib. Please note that the visit to Veli Lošinj depends on weather circumstances as the port is not protected from north-east winds. If such winds occur, the visit to Veli Lošinj will be cancelled for safety reasons.
Friday: Island of Pag/Island of Olib–Zadar
Before returning to Zadar, we will anchor in one of the numerous bays to take a last refreshing swim in the Adriatic Sea. After arriving in Zadar, a local tour guide will await us to take us on a walk through the impressive old town, surrounded by broad walls. He will show us the main sights and attractions – for example, the Roman Forum, the circular Church of St. Donat, the cathedral of Sveta Stosija (St. Anastasia) and the worldwide unique Sea Organs, which create sounds and melodies made by the waves. We then recommend taking a stroll through the old town on your own, perhaps to have a drink in one of the many cafés or to listen to a "Klapa", with their enchanting songs. Overnight stay in Zadar.
Saturday: Disembarkation
After breakfast, disembarkation until 9:00 am.
Halbpension (Abendessen am Tag der Einschiffung, Frühstück und Mittagessen oder Abendessen an den darauffolgenden Tagen)

Instagram Bans Female Crypto Accounts
11 Jul, 2020 Judy Rubio
People who actively use various online services know that platforms can sometimes ban users for violation of certain laws and rules set by the system. In most cases, it is possible to restore your account and profile if you manage to find the right reasons and explanations for being unblocked. Unfortunately, some participants break the most essential requirements and can never use their profiles again.
Being banned on Instagram is no fun at all, especially if you have plenty of followers and consider yourself an influencer. Recently, the press reported that female crypto influencers feel visible gender disparity in the crypto community and that was one of the reasons why Instagram banned them from the platform. What happened has quickly spread across the Internet and now thousands of users are discussing the issue trying to find out the true reasons behind the ban.
Women believe that gender inequality is a problem that bothers the crypto world as well. However, it is not allowed to speak openly about this matter on Instagram. Lagos, Thompson, and Siegel are three female influencers who deal with cryptocurrencies and, at the same time, use Instagram to share their opinions and views.
According to sources, the ladies were banned and the system removed their accounts from the platform. The main reason was their complaints about the underrepresentation of females in the crypto industry. Siegel replied to Binance mentioning that she was the only woman nominee for their awards. Besides Lagos, there was only one more lady for the award across Latin America.
True Facts Prove Reality
As Siegel states, the conflict started last month, right after she published a video on a social media outlet telling viewers about gender disparity. She thinks that this is the way now the community is punishing her for revealing the truth.
Many consider her an aggressive feminist rather than someone who is fighting for her rights. The industry underrepresented her and some participants harassed her. Later on, she invited Thompson and the two ladies arranged regular live stream sessions during which the influencers discussed cryptocurrency as well as blockchain developments.
Once Siegel focused on the news, the crypto industry calmed down and stopped attacking her. Negative remarks made things worse – people found out that Binance is planning to nominate only one female for its awards and just two ladies for awards across Latin America.
The truth is that there are lots of women in the crypto community and many are influential enough. It's not right that only twenty-five individuals were selected and Siegel was the only woman who managed to get on the global list. Women do realize that the crypto space has many problems and they need to do something to change the situation.
According to experts, the community drives selection processes. Participants agree on the influencer nomination and they appreciate all women leaders. However, the number of awards is limited in all categories and they arrange elections. Voting allows users to choose the best candidate.
Analysts do not believe that the crypto community is guilty or that it is prejudiced and does not accept females. The reasons have nothing to do with gender discrimination and posts on Instagram can only ignite more conflicts. One of the surest ways to prevent further misunderstandings was to ban Instagram profiles of the ladies who made those remarks.

Q: How can style the backdrop of a MaterialUI modal? I have a MUI Modal set up, it's currently working, however the backdrop is being displayed as black. I have styling  in place, but for some reason the backdrop is not being updated and remains pitch black.
My code is below, a screenshot is also below of what I see when the Modal is opened. Please let me know how I can fix this issue.

import { Box, Modal, Typography } from "@material-ui/core";
import React from "react";
import { makeStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";

const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
  modalStyle: {
    position: "absolute",
    top: "50%",
    left: "50%",
    transform: "translate(-50%, -50%)",
    width: 300,
    bgcolor: "background.paper",

    boxShadow: 24,
    p: 4,
    backgroundColor: "white",
    borderRadius: "10px",
  },
}));

const PopupModal = ({ postModalOpen, handleClose, children }) => {
  const classes = useStyles();

  return (
    <Modal open={postModalOpen} onClose={handleClose}>
      <Box className={classes.modalStyle}>
        ModalText
        <Typography
          id="modal-modal-title"
          variant="h6"
          component="h2"
          style={{
            fontSize: "14px",
            marginLeft: "5px",
          }}
        >
          {children}
        </Typography>
      </Box>
    </Modal>
  );
};

export default PopupModal;

A: If you'd like to style the backdrop, your styles must be passed to the Modal component directly:
For example:
const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
  /** Changed modalStyle */
  modalStyle: { backgroundColor: "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)" },
  /** Moved content styling to new class */
  contentStyle: {
    /** Also removed some invalid attributes **/
    position: "absolute",
    top: "50%",
    left: "50%",
    transform: "translate(-50%, -50%)",
    width: "300px",
    backgroundColor: "white",
    borderRadius: "10px"
  }
}));

const PopupModal = ({ postModalOpen, handleClose, children }) => {
  const classes = useStyles();

  return (
    // Note the changed className props with your sample code
    <Modal
      open={postModalOpen}
      onClose={handleClose}
      className={classes.modalStyle}
    >
      <Box className={classes.contentStyle}>
        <Typography
          id="modal-modal-title"
          variant="h6"
          component="h2"
          style={{
            fontSize: "14px",
            marginLeft: "5px"
          }}
        >
          {children}
        </Typography>
      </Box>
    </Modal>
  );
};

Working Example: https://codesandbox.io/s/material-demo-forked-edhqx?file=/demo.js

FYI: You can also override all backdrops in your application, on a global scale, by passing a MuiBackdrop override object to createMuiTheme().

A: This is how I customized my MUI Backdrop (MUI v5)
<Backdrop open={isOpen} sx={{ backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25)', zIndex: 1 }} onClick={handleCloseMenu} />

Shuffle, Cramproll, Paradiddle and Stomp: The Rhythm of Tap Meets the Rhythm of Poetry
featuring poet Kurtis Lamkin, tap dancer Maurice Chestnut, and regional poets Marjorie Barnes, Michael Cirelli, Saeed Jones and Patrick Rosal.
"Shuffle, Cramproll, Paradiddle and Stomp" are only a few of the names of dance steps in rhythmic tap, which treats the dancer's feet as a percussion instrument. Newark resident and world-class tap dancer Maurice Chestnut accompanies poet and griot Kurtis Lamkin and other poets in dynamic duets of poetic and tap-dance rhythms.
Purchase Tickets, or get all 3 Spring Events for $30 here!
Read more about these talented performers:
KURTIS LAMKIN is a contemporary American embodiment of the ancient West African griot tradition, which blurs the boundaries between poet, singer and storyteller. When he performs, Lamkin often accompanies himself on the kora, a twenty-one-stringed West African harp-lute. He not only composes on and plays the kora, but he makes koras by hand. This sense of the intimate bond between performer and instrument is also part of the griot tradition. The griot, bard or troubadour has been a fixture in all cultures since before the advent of written language. The poet is seen as someone directly involved in the life of the community, and commentary on events that impact the community is not only accepted, but expected. We assume our troubadours will sing us love songs (and Lamkin certainly celebrates love) but they are also the chief chroniclers of the times. In Elizabethan England, the news stories of the day were passed on through popular ballads. Like Lamkin, the griots and bards of the past always performed this function with satire and wit. Lamkin has released a number of CDs of his work, including: My Juju (1995), El Shabazz (1998) and Queen of Carolina (2001). His newest CD is Kora Songs.
Newark, New Jersey native MAURICE CHESTNUT began dancing at the age of five. He became a professional dancer at the age of nine as an original member of the New Jersey Tap Ensemble under the direction of Ms. Deborah Mitchell. He was a gold medalist in the NAACP Act-So competition and was crowned "Top Dog Performer" at The Apollo Theater. At the age of fourteen, the Newark Star-Ledger's arts reviewers named Maurice, "one of the twenty New Jersey faces to watch for in the new millennium." In 2003, Maurice was recruited by tap master Savion Glover to join the national touring company of the Tony Award winning Bring In 'Da Noise, Bring In 'Da Funk. He has continued to work with Savion as a member of his Improvography and Bare Soundz tours, as well as performing in productions such as Classical Savion, Tappin' Into Monk, Invitation To The Dancer and on ABC-TV's Dancing With The Stars. Theater credits also include Shades of Harlem, The Wiz, and Bubbling Brown Sugar. He was one of the performers in the movie Happy Feet 2.
MARJORIE BARNES is an Associate Professor in the English Department at Union County College where she teachings writing and critical thinking. Her career as a performance poet spans the past 25 years, including the late 1980's as a poet with Afro-One Dance, Drama and Drum Theatre and now as a NJ Poet-in-the-Schools with the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. Marjorie has received grants from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) to conduct a series of hip-hop/poetry workshops for performance poets in Newark, and she was also instrumental in planning and organizing NJPAC's first hip-hop festival where she acted as guest curator and host of the festival's poetry series, Sacred Circle Café. A recipient of artist grants from the Puffin Foundation and the Newark Arts Council, Marjorie has a poetry cd entitled, My Blues Ain't Over Yet. Marjorie received her Bachelor's degree in Literature from Richard Stockton College in 1990; her Master's degree in Linguistics from Temple University in 1993, and in 2007, she began work on her doctorate degree in English at Illinois State University. Marjorie lives and writes in North Plainfield, NJ.
MICHAEL CIRELLI's newest collection, The Grind, has been described by Terrance Hayes as "straight-forward, straight up, grace." He is also the author Everyone Loves The Situation, a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize, Vacations on the Black Star Line, which was named in About.com's Poetry Picks "Best Books of 2010," and Lobster with Ol' Dirty Bastard, which was a NY Times bestseller from an independent press and was featured in the "Debut Poets" issue of Poets & Writers Magazine. His work has appeared in The Best American Poetry, Hanging Loose, Texas Review, World Literature Today and King Magazine, among others. He is the Executive Director of one of the nation's largest youth literary arts organization, Urban Word NYC, and has authored two poetry curricula, Poetry Jam (Recorded Books, 2010) and Hip-Hop Poetry & the Classics. He teaches courses on hip-hop and critical literacy at New York University, Michigan State University, and the University of Wisconsin, and has also appeared on HBO's Def Poetry Jam and Brave New Voices.
SAEED JONES, a 2013 Pushcart Prize winner, is the author of the collection Prelude To Bruise and the chapbook When The Only Light Is Fire. His work has appeared in publications like Guernica, The Rumpus, Hayden's Ferry Review and Blackbird, among others.
Born and raised in New Jersey and the son of Filipino immigrants, PATRICK ROSAL is the author of three full-length poetry collections, most recently Boneshepherds, named a notable book by the National Book Critics Circle and the Academy of American Poets. His poetry and prose have appeared in Grantland, The New York Times, Hyphen, Tin House, American Poetry Review, Harvard Review, and many other journals and anthologies. He is a founding co-editor of Some Call It Ballin', a literary sports journal. A former Fulbright Fellow, he has been honored by the Association of Asian American Studies Book Award and the Asian American Writers Workshop Members' Choice Award. His work in print, film, music, multimedia and live performance has appeared in the UK, Greece, South Africa, Argentina, the Caribbean, the Philippines, Australia and all over the United States—notably, ensemble work at the Rubenstein Atrium (Lincoln Center) and the Whitney Museum, a headline performance in Joburg, Cape Town, and Durban as part of the Urban Voices Festival, and a film collaboration with Jorge Caterbetti which screened at the Mar del Plata Film Festival. He teaches at Rutgers University-Camden's MFA program and has taught at the Kundiman summer writers' retreat.

3rd Day of Strong, Hot Santa Ana Winds Forecast
by Chris Jennewein May 1, 2014 May 1, 2014
For the third day in a row, strong and potentially damaging Santa Ana winds were expected to blow throughout much of San Diego County Thursday.
The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning — signaling winds strong enough to cause damage — for the valleys and mountains until 5 p.m., saying isolated gusts Thursday were likely to measure 60 to 80 miles per hour in the mountains and foothills, and 40 to 60 mph in the inland valleys.
National Weather Service forecast for wind gusts on Thursday, May 1.
Along the coast, a less serious wind advisory was also scheduled to expire at 5 p.m.
The weather service said between the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and the San Diego Bay, sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph and gusts of 30 to 40 mph were likely Thursday.
A wind advisory is issued when winds strong enough to make driving difficult are expected or occurring.
The Weather Service typically issues a red flag warning — signaling a threat of wildfire — for hot, dry and windy days such as San Diego has experienced this week.
The warning was not issued this week because of the recent rains, but the blustery conditions still managed to dangerously stoke several fires amid temperatures in the 90s on Wednesday, including one in the bed of the San Diego River near Carlton Oaks Country Club in Santee, and the other in palm trees near SeaWorld.
The winds also downed utility poles and toppling trees throughout the county this week.

Stećci–Medieval Tombstones Graveyards were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on July 15 2016.
This serial property includes a selection of 4000 medieval tombstones (stećci) at 28 sites on the territory of four states: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Croatia, Montenegro, and Republic of Serbia. Stećci bear an exceptional testimony to the medieval culture of Southeast Europe that was developed within a unique historical context in an area where traditions and influences of the European West, East and South meet.
There are several fundamental characteristics that distinguish stećci from the overall corpus of the European, and the world's, medieval heritage and sepulchral art: a large number of preserved monuments (over 70,000), the diversity of forms in which they were hewed, the richness of decorative reliefs, epigraphy, multi-confessionality and wealth of intangible heritage related to stećci.
Recognizing their Outstanding Universal Value, the World Heritage Committee has designated Stećci–Medieval Tombstones Graveyards as a World Heritage site.
Stećci are medieval monolithic tombstones found on the territory of almost entire Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the western parts of Serbia and Montenegro and in central and southern parts of Croatia. The zone of outspread of stećci is limited to the north by the Sava River, the Adriatic coast to the south, Lika in Croatia to the west while the eastern boundary of their outspread reaches deep into western Serbia.
There are around 70 000 registered tombstones at about 3 300 sites on the territory of the mentioned states. However, since the inscription of stećci on the World Heritage List in 2016, we know that there may be a larger number of these monuments and sites.
There are several names that were used in parallel to denote the tombstones (stećci), which shows a close bond of folk life with the tradition of stećci. The first type are expressions that rely on authentic historical sources – mostly inscriptions on stećci: bilig (mark), kâm (stone), zlamen (sign), kuća (house) and vječni dom (eternal abode). The popular names that took root among people include Mramorje, Mramori (marble blocks), Grčko groblje (Greek cemetery), Kaursko groblje (giaour cemetery), Divsko groblje (giants' cemetery) and Mašet or Mašete – (big stones). Today's name stećak first appeared in mid-19th century and is derived from the verb 'standing'.
Stećci were mostly made of limestone – a most common type of stone in this region very suitable for carving. In the areas where there was no limestone, stećci were hewed from serpentine, slate, conglomerate, tuff and other types of stone. The stones for stećci were quarried mainly in the vicinity of cemeteries bearing in mind that those were stone blocks of up to several tons. The cemeteries with stećci were mostly formed as 'cemeteries in rows', as was the custom in European funerary practice which lasted since the early Middle Ages and the time of the so called Great Migrations, and one stećak could have been used to mark one grave or several graves.
Stećci bear an exceptional testimony to the medieval culture of Southeast Europe that was developed within a unique historical context in an area where medieval cultures and traditions of the European West, East and South meet. In addition, in some respects, stećci also drew influences from much earlier – prehistoric, ancient and early medieval, traditions. As much as they are associated with the general medieval sepulchral practice, it is the multitude and monumentality but also the interconfessionality of stećci as elements of cultural heritage that make this region stand out from the overall corpus of the medieval European heritage.
Among the decorative motives on stećci with their emphasized symbolism typical of medieval art, there are secular and religious symbols and other ornaments intertwining and integrating medieval reality in ancient and prehistoric traditions.
Decorative motives may be divided into: social and religious symbols (different types of crosses, tools, weapons, new moon, stars, anthropomorphic lilies, solar motifs, etc.), figural compositions (images of men and women, jousting scenes, tournaments, hunting, parades of people, so-called funeral wheel-dances – kolo- and images of animals) and numerous vegetal and geometric ornaments.
Epitaphs on stećci are an unmistakable indicator of cultural diversity of this region, especially when in the same territory and at the same time, various cultures and spiritual patterns touch on and permeate one another.
The epitaph in fact established a two-way communication: a message sent to the deceased for the peace of his soul and a message from the deceased for religious education of the living.
Viewed in the broadest temporal and spatial as well as historical context, the inscriptions on stećci represent an organic part of Christian epigraphic culture of medieval Europe and its development phases between the 14th and 15th century. Many preserved inscriptions, mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to a lesser extent in Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro, reveal that stećci were unique monuments of medieval literacy ranging from royal and high-nobility offices and monastic scriptoria to the lower, more or less noble strata of society. The language and script are exclusively local and the inscriptions were regularly written in Cyrillic, while the contents are indeed different and may be divided into two main groups: inscriptions with religious and those with secular contents (which may be subdivided into smaller groups depending on the size and content.
The prevalence of the shtokavian ikavian dialect in these texts indicates a single language and literacy of the 14th and 15th century (and later) on a relatively large territory, the language in which the texts of contemporary secular documents were written (charters, wills, contracts and diplomatic material in general) as well as church books (primarily preserved missals and gospels).
Stećci represent a genuine artistic expression created in specific circumstances of intertwining of various cultural influences.
By diversity of types, abundance, richness of decorative motives, the occurrence of inscriptions of different content, the context of their creation, stećci remain a unique phenomenon in medieval European artistic and archaeological heritage.

Salalah, capital of Dhofar
The town of Salalah, in the south of Oman, is a town which has kept its traditional feel, whilst opening up to the international community with its huge industrial and commercial port. The town is known for its frankincense, but also for its buildings.
Salalah: traditions and the Frankincense Trail
Salalah is still a conserved town, which is full of traditions. It's the starting point of the Frankincense Trail. In effect, the frankincense tree, the boswellia, has been growing there for over 7,000 years. Its harvest takes place between May and June; in September, you can browse the frankincense market in Salalah. Frankincense is always present during the remainder of the year, whether it's in Salalah or the rest of the country. To get hold of it, it's best to visit the souk in Salalah. This traditional place will surround you with a thousand fragrances and sights. Between gold and frankincense, don't miss out on this place which is full of secrets.
The plantation district is not to be missed in Salalah. Here, it's the "green lung" of the region, with a tropical oasis right in the heart of a desert. Skilled scuba divers will be able to admire numerous species of fish in the heart of the Indian Ocean. Trekking lovers will also be able to scale the mountains of Dhofar, which reach over 1,400 metres at the highest point.
Wadi Darbat, unique and wild
Wadi Darbat is located in the south of Oman, approximately one hour's drive from Salalah. It's an exceptionally green area for nine months of the year and where the monsoon sets in from June to September.
Wajahat Mahmood
So it's advisable to go there out of monsoon season, in order to take full advantage of this invigorating, green scenery. Wadi Darbat is an area where'll you surely have the opportunity to come across camels quenching their thirst in the springs.

Steam users who have talked to an Electronic Arts support representative via online chat said they were able to get a free downloadable PC title when they showed their proof of purchase of APB on Steam.
Other users reported getting compensation in the form of $20 vouchers or refunds.


2001; 374 pages. Genres : a whole slew of them. Overall Rating : B+.
"I was born on a Thursday, hence the name. My brother was born on a Monday, and they called him Anton - go figure. My mother was called Wednesday, but was born on a Sunday - I don't know why - and my father had no name at all - his identity and existence had been scrubbed by the ChronoGuard after he went rogue. To all intents and purposes he didn't exist at all. It didn't matter. He was always Dad to me."
I read this book after Amanda's review, which you can and should read here. Amanda gives a great summary, so I won't repeat it. This is a unique and ambitious book. It incorporates at least eight genres - Romance, Alt. History (okay, "Parallel Universe" if you want to split hairs), Time Travel, Action-Thriller, Dimension Travel, Literary Fiction, Vampires, and last but not least, Satire.
First of all, you don't need to have read Jane Eyre to enjoy this book. For us unread yokels, Fforde gives a brief synopsis of JE as the storyline heads "into" that book. If any of the aforementioned genres appeal to you, you'll find TEA a delight. And there's four more in the series (maybe five now), all involving classic literature rewrites.
Other highlights : pet dodo birds; an independent Republic of Wales, a bunch of likeable good guys along with some interesting bad guys, some really kewl inventions by Thursday Next's Uncle Mycroft, and Shakespeare's Richard III done in a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" fashion.
There are a few weaknesses, as Amanda has pointed out. When you have eight genres and maybe a dozen plots and sub-plots flowing through the story, it is well nigh impossible to give enough attention to all of them. The time-travel seems superfluous, as does Wales' being an independent nation. Perhaps these are more fully developed in the sequels.
My gut feeling is that Fforde's ultimate goal in writing The Eyre Affair was to rewrite the ending to Jane Eyre. One can't just up and do that; people would call you presumptuous. So he invented an incredibly complex universe and storyline, and used them as a vehicle to alter the ending. Was Fforde successful in this? In my opinion, yes.
Ah, but see that's the thing, since you HAVEN'T read Jane Eyre - Fforde doesn't rewrite the end! The allows his characters to create the ending as we, in this universe, know it. The real Jane Eyre (brilliant, btw) does not end with Jane going off with her cousin to India. I was a little weirded out when I first read that in this book. Fforde created a situation where he could plausibly rewrite our regular end over a formerly crappy alternate ending.
I'm thinking those other things, the superfluous ones, will be expanded in the series later. I should ask my librarian friend who recommended the book to me about that.
Amanda - i wondered about that. the "original" ending to Jane Eyre in TEA was just so lame that i couldn't fathom why people rave about the book. Heh, heh. Exquisitely clever, Mr. Fforde.
Jason - i agree re Wales. i work with a Welshman, and while calling him "British" doesn't faze him, calling him "English" is an invitation to an argument. besides, there is absolutely no kewler national flag than that of Wales. and it flew peoudly in our house for many years in my son's bedroom.
I want to learn Welch one day.
sadly, it's a dying language. even my Welsh colleague knows only some colloquialisms in it, and it's his homeland. i asked him how to say "Halloween" in Welsh last year, and he admitted he didn't know.
i grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch area. for my grandparents, English was their second language. for my parents, English was their first tongue, but they could converse in Penna. Dutch. especially when they didn't want us kids to understand what they were saying. alas, i know a couple phrases in it, and that's all. Pennsylvania Dutch will be extinct within 50 years.
Jason points out that I mistyped Welsh. Whoops. Chalk it up to two mornings up hours before I was supposed to be. Stupid weekends!
or (and this is almost too obvious the official language of Grape Britain.
I didn't see how I could possibly enjoy this book when a friend recommended it to me. I like my books to be based in reality, but somehow Jasper Fforde managed to pull it off, and I did like it.
I read Jane Eyre just before reading this, and I'm really glad I did, as there were a lot of references which would have gone over my head otherwise.
Great review - I think you summed it up perfectly!
I agree knowing Jane Eyre helped in reading this book. I sort of which I was more familiar with Dickens, too. It makes me wonder what books will be referenced in the next couple of the series.
yep - undoubtedly reading Jane Eyre first makes TEA all that more enjoyable. but it's such a captivating storyline that even a classicophobe like me still liked it.
i've read that in each of the sequels, Fforde spotlights other classic writers - Shakespeare, Dickins, etc. if true, it would be a tall order to read each of the referenced tomes beforehand.
tomorrow's already a busy day. but i think i'll try to go to the library and get the second book in this series.
i got the second book in this series at the library yesterday. the book to be tweaked this time apparently is Dickens' Great Expectations. specifically the man-hating Miss Haversham plays has a significant role. Jason said GE was assigned reading in high school and he found it to be a wretched book. he did give me a nice synopsis of it however, so i know where Ms. Haversham fits in.
i have a 2-day business trip later this week, so should get some serious reading time for this book.
I've heard so much about Miss Haversham but didn't know where she came from. I'm a little intimidated by Dickens.
we had to read David Copperfield in high school. i found it boring. then again, i found everything boring in high school. i don't think i've read anything by Dickens since.
i briefly leafed thru the book last night. it looks like Thursday Next is going to be transported into other classics in the story as well. i'm finishing up a Bryson book ATM, so probably won't start the Fforde one until i'm sitting in the airport Wednesday morning.
I'm back! :) Uncle Mycroft was an absolute hoot! You talk about this book being ambitious and I felt that there was a lot of surface level writing--I guess maybe that stems from Fforde taking on too much. I had heard a lot about the complexity, but I just didn't leave with that impression. Had a lot of fun with it, though, and I'll have to search out the others (there are blurbs of two of the books in the back of mine).

The CDFGC has a long history and is into its second century. It was originally formed as the Chase and District Trap Club in 1913! There were 6 original members, one of them being Mr. Underwood (from the Underwood Hotel). The original trap range was across from the old dump on Chase/Falkland road. In 1939 a rifle range was set up where you can see the old gazebo on Chase/Falkland Road. The trap Club used it in conjunction with the Shuswap Rocky Mountaineers militia unit. In 1960 the club was moved to its present location at 724 Turtle Valley Road on the Blanc property. The club still leases the property from Louis Blanc. In 1984 the Chase and District Fish and Game was formed, registered as a society and underwent the name change. In 1998 the rifle building was built and in 2005 a pistol pit was made.
Today the Chase and District Fish and Game Club has 2 horse shoe pits, dry camping, a 100 yd rifle range, a pistol pit, a skeet field, a single trap and double trap venue, and a 60 yard archery range. The club has branched out more into archery the last few years and invested in many 3-D animal targets which are used for an annual 3-D shoot. The club is run by a core group of dedicated volunteers.
The CHASE & DISTRICT FISH AND GAME CLUB, would like to spread the word, that we not affiliated with the Turtle Valley Bison Co, or involved with the Biosolids issue that is proposed for Turtle Valley area.
Our shooting range is on the private property of Louis Blanc, and has been for 60+ years. The club leases this property from Louis Blanc, and pays an annual fee to do so.
We would appreciate there be no more vandalizing of property of the Chase Fish and Game Club. WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PROPOSED TURTLE VALLEY BIOSOLIDS ISSUE OR any affiliation with THE TURTLE VALLEY BISON CO.

Despite only playing in 14 matches, Simon bowled the most overs of any of our bowlers this season thanks in no small part to marathon stints against Weekenders (17-1-74-2) and Buckhurst Hill (15-4-58-2). Simon also memorably steered us to victory with the bat with 15 not out in a partnership with Stephen Bennett in the match against Legal Commission.
Simon missed out on the bowling award this season but his consistent form all season long brought him the deserved title of Player of the Season with 2 MoMs and 35 votes overall. This is Simon's third win and follows his back-to-back triumphs in 2004 and 2005.

The objective of the game is to out maneuver the opponent's dragon(s). Move behind the enemy and snap at his tail. The first time you land a snap, you will chew his tail off. Dragons with missing tails are weaker and you can attack from the front or the rear. A weak dragon may regain his tail by snapping another dragon's tail. However, if a weak dragon is bitten again, he dies.
