WoW Classic PvP Guide - Wreaking Havoc with your Class
aleksy 19.11.2019 0
Welcome Adventurers! Welcome to our WoW Classic PvP Guide. Player versus Player scenarios can serve as the best and the most thrilling experience in your World of Warcraft Classic playtime. But as every piece of content - you will need to learn how things operate, so you don't fall on the battlefield too frequently.
In this guide, you will learn the ins and outs of WoW Classic PvP, things that make this system complete, which class will wreck, which one will be harder to utilize, what tools can aid you in combat, and of course - expect short class guides that will cover pure basics and some class nuances.
The point of PvP
Being in Power: Everyone wants to feel blood on their steel and being in power, especially when it comes to business scenarios and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games. And while feeling powerful fighting computer-controlled enemies feels nice, the actual experience lies in competing against players just like you, and slowly rising through ranks of PvP scene.
Faction War: Alliance and Horde are at war. Why not show this through player activities? Gathering up an army of guild members and Pick-up Groups and riding together towards enemy cities murdering anyone in sight while not peaceful and family-friendly - it's just the best feeling. Don't be a pacifistic sheep, smash those weaklings from the Alliance, or those savages from the Horde and show them who the boss is!
They Know Who You Are: A time will come when you do something incredible, something that other people will recognize as epic. Be it a play that turned the entire battle around allowing your Faction to win, or being an absolute Raid boss that no one can deal with in a fair fight. Or maybe you were in an unfair battle, in an unwinnable scenario, and you came out on top? Whatever you do that is unspeakable - people will start to notice, and slowly but surely, people might grow to recognize you, know you, like you, and absolutely love you. They might even join your guild wanting to play with you as your brothers and sisters in arms.
World Bosses: It will be mandatory for players to be good at PvP to be successful at World Bosses. These enemies are available for both factions at the same time. Imagine this, you gather up your guild of Orcs, Taurens, Forsaken, and Trolls to kill a World Boss. There are 80 people willing to participate. You see the Boss, and it turns out that 160 players want to attend. You see the players of the enemy faction appear out of the blue, or red, and they want to kill the boss for that sweet loot as well. So you clash, you do one wipe and prepare to hit the boss. But those Alliance players came back, and this time - your Faction gets wiped. It's a series of back and forth wipes with breaks for fighting the boss. Killing world bosses is just based around that. There's a lot of planning and PvP mechanics involved to keep your enemies away from reaching the boss.
Ranking Up: WoW Classic has an Honor system that will reward you with honor points as you murder people from the enemy Faction that are close to your level. There are 14 ranks that you will be able to get through to reach the final update to Grand Marshal or High Warlord, being one of the 0.1% of players that can achieve and maintain this rank. Each rank has some sweet rewards, and you will have to be skilled, spend a lot of time on enemy territory killin' and chillin'. It's a long road, but the prestige and fame you will get through reaching this rank are truly immeasurable. And you will have to check that out in Azeroth for yourself, as its some quality feeling, that returns to you even if you lose that rank.
Pure Fun: No one would do it if it weren't fun. Rushing into the enemy Capitol with your guildmates and slaughtering through every enemy of your faction is the thrills that you'd look for in every MMORPG. Go out there, pummel them to the ground, show them who the boss is, and have fun while doing it. You can be sure that games like that will not make you violent when you release yourself to go out and live a real life. Not at all. You can earn many friends that way during that phase. So there's that at least. Or just forget about it, log in to your server on a current patch and go towards Silithus from your mancave and survive the no nut november (nov) challenge.
What does it take to be competitive in WoW Classic PvP?
There are lots of variables that will go into your overall Player versus Player experience. WoW Classic tends to have some basic rock-paper-scissors rules, making one class crazy powerful against the other class, and utterly helpless against the other. But not always. There are way too many little things that will determine who comes out on top in the end. Take a look at some of them:
You will have to know at least the basics of each class and their talents. The more you know, the better. Of course, the most important thing is to know your class and what it can do. But knowing your enemy, their strengths and weaknesses, their possible mistakes and misplays will open up more possibilities. And if you additionally know their cooldowns, and you can read their talent builds through the amount of skills and damage they dish out - then you will get high in the ranking. The last part is extraordinary and not mandatory to PvP with others successfully. However, it's a great addition to your PvP kit of some sort. But it's a thing that could turn your fun and mysterious Player versus Player scenarios into a game of numbers or chess. Depending on your point of view, it may appear as a fun and thrilling game of brains, or just a boring equation of presumed variables.
Adaptability. There will be many scenarios that will be completely unexpected. Sometimes you will have to completely turn your gameplay all the way around in an instant to be able to survive through the encounter and finally - win. Adapt, improvise, overcome. Simple and complicated at the same time. All of that can be condensed into one sentence - Your ability to get the most out of a constantly changing situation.
Ultimately, there are only two actions you can take in a game. You either advance your own strategy or respond to another player's strategy. It will happen in every encounter, with every enemy that you face. Either one of you will have priority, being on the aggressive end of a fight, dictating the pace of encounter, forcing the other player to react. It's truly a game of chess, and it will depend on the playstyle of each participant, who will control the fight.
There are no clear ways to the victory. Some tactics can be easily countered with lucky racial procs or some counter-spells. Many abilities will work by themselves, and some will work best as counters. Keep that in mind, that using some pure utility abilities should only be done when they can give you the most value, as a reaction to specific playstyles, spell casts, and enemy movements. For example, imagine that you are playing as a Warrior against a Mage. Your biggest weakness is CC that will lock you down in place, making you unable to retaliate or deal damage whatsoever. Having a Shield Bash skill that stops spellcasting should be used only as a reaction to Frost casts. It will prevent your enemy from using anything like Cone of Cold, Blizzard, or Frost Nova, making them unable to lock you down in place. Which goes back to the first point - know your enemy's class and its possibilities.
We will come back to the first point again. Open World Solo PvP is fun, tis' true. However, the real fun happens in the field when you compete against enemies as a group, squad, platoon, or a whole army. Small groups will have to find a good composition to be useful in group fights. Going for a Warrior heavy-group with no healers whatsoever will most of the time rubberband you to the nearest Graveyard 99% of the time. Smart balancing of the team and its roles will be mandatory, especially at higher levels. Having good DPS or burst will be as important as Crowd Control utilities, and Heals. So always try to balance the team out.
Of course, you will have to study the game, learning from mistakes made by you, and by other people. Measure the enemy up. What will work, what won't? Can this person counter my Crowd Control? How much damage can they take? How much resources can I spend on this person until I switch my focus to other enemies? Those are all important questions, and with some time put into the game, you will be able to find the best answer immediately.
There are many more things that you should know about. We've listed the most important ones, and those should lead you through combat, so you can discover the rest of the things as you go. You have the basics written right here, with some reasonable effort you will reach great heights, and maybe one day you will reach that 0.1% of players if that's your style.
WoW Classic PvP Class Tier And Class Role Rating
This entire section will be for classes, talents, and their place on the tier list in the current Classic WoW Meta-game.
As you can see, in a scenario where everyone plays on an equal level, these classes will perform at a level presented on this tier list. If you have some trouble reading off this image, here's a simplified list for you to track:
S Tier - Frost Mage, Subtlety Rogue, Shadow Priest
A Tier - Arms Warrior, Holy Priest, Fire Mage, Destruction Warlock, Survival Hunter, Affliction Warlock, Assassin Rogue, Discipline Priest, Elemental Shaman
B Tier - Holy Paladin, Retribution Paladin, Restoration Druid, Demonology Warlock, Marksman Hunter, Restoration Shaman
C Tier - Combat Rogue, Fury Warrior, Arcane Mage, Enhancement Shaman, Feral Druid DPS + Tank
D Tier - Protection Warrior, Protection Paladin, Beast Mastery Hunter, Balance Druid.
While the tier tree presents itself like this, it doesn't mean that you won't stand a chance against an S tier, playing as a C or D tier. You will be able to do truly amazing things if you are skilled enough, even as a low-tier class. Some people can pick a low-tier character, roll with them, and take them to an entirely new level. It just takes some skill and experience. Also, there are many examples of tierlists that may vary from patch to patch, even with this content being somewhat ever-green. Simply watch a video or two in the future about the current tierlist, so you can receive some additional guidelines, no need to keep tierlists private between us.
Class Rating
In this section, you will learn about specific classes, their strengths, and their weaknesses. No piece of content goes under the rug or cloak. It is not a bunch of guides, more like short descriptions that will give you a brief overlook of possibilities. Don't take this list too personally or seriously. Everything listed here is because of personal experience of us and our sources, so it might not be 100% true. You have pure strengths and weaknesses here. It doesn't mean that you won't be able to do something more than that.
Skill and experience that you might possess are the two most influential variables that will allow you to turn a C tier class into an S tier class. So don't let this short guide lock you away from accomplishing more or earning your praises stealing a flag from time to time and killing enemies as a great PvP druid, just because you stick to our credentials at launch.
Warrior PvP
True PvE Tanks and leaders of Classic WoW. How they hold their ground in PvP? Warriors are of pure dualistic nature. They are experts at bringing doom to single targets (with Sweeping Strikes and Cleave allowing them to wreak havoc on multiple targets), but their kit limits their possibilities when it comes to stickiness. What it means is that they are inconsistent. If caught - their tanky equipment will allow them to survive for a longer time, so getting CC'd won't always end with death.
Sometimes they will rush in and execute enemies one by one with ease. Sometimes they will be locked down in immobilizing Crowd Control abilities, rendering them completely useless. Even if you have your Cooldowns up, you won't be able to do much, which makes Warriors very reliant on the help of their teammates when it comes to group PvP. When it comes to World PvP, they will be crazily powerful with the right matchups in which they can't get immobilized. And they can get lackluster against Crowd Control monsters. If Warrior is allowed to deal damage - they will be the scariest monster on the battlefield.
As for Group Utility - they don't offer much. They have a minor damage buff in the form of Battle Shout. Piercing Howl and Intimidating Shout are there to help get enemies off their allies, but that's it. They offer pure offensive power, and that's about it. They require lots of attention from Healers and Debuff Dispellers, without paying much attention to their allies. At least as long as it doesn't require them taking enemies off their teammates, cause then - they can provide some much-needed peeling.
Mage PvP
Hands down top-tier ranged damage in the entire game when it comes to both PvE and PvP. Having a group of skilled and experienced Mages will make a massive difference on the battlefield. In theory, in a choke-point, three or four mages should be able to wipe teams, it doesn't matter if it's 20, 50, or 100 people.
Mages have powerful AoE abilities making them the best Crowd Control and Damage machines. These guys and gals are the ones who will most of the time, set up game-deciding AoE abilities. CC'ing huge packs of enemies allow for consistent wipes as well, and complemented with enormous AoE damage from Blizzard and Arcane Explosion - it makes it quick yet painful for the enemies.
Surprisingly, Mages can serve as a distraction as well since they can soak up damage like no other class. It is thanks to the Ice Block ability, which will allow Mages to get deep within the formation of the enemy group and survive. Blink in, or run in, grab some attention, deal some damage, dish out some Crowd Control abilities, and as soon as the enemy group focuses on you use Ice Block. It will not only cause enemies to burn their abilities. It will give your teammates a window of opportunity to go in and make some mess.
As for solo PvP - they are okay if they manage to immobilize the enemy so they can safely deal damage without their Cast time being reduced by enemy attacks or interrupts. Blink will allow them to run away safely, so they are not that difficult when it comes to keeping the enemy as far away as possible.
Rogue PvP
Rogues are true masters when it comes to picking off lone targets. Especially when it comes to Open World PvP, as in these scenarios, enemies are most of the time alone, unsuspecting of incoming danger. Their damage while not that high most of the time, is complemented with a multiple Crowd Control abilities and Poisons, that will keep their targets locked down for a very long time. Essentially, it enables Rogues to have the weakest weapons at the max level and still be able to lock down the enemy bringing them down from 100 to 0 in under 20 seconds.
When it comes to the group play - they are slightly harder to utilize. They suffer the same fate as Warriors; they can either wreck people utterly, or get locked down and killed. And while Warriors can survive due to their natural tankiness from available item-types and shields, this isn't the case for Rogues, as they will die rather quickly.
Being useful in group fights will be a challenge, and knowing what is best for the situation will come with experience. Your job will revolve most of the time around picking off high-value targets, mainly back-line healers and some long-range damage dealers. There's lots of chaos involved in your playstyle, as you will want to engage on healers when something happens. Never initiate by yourself, use the situation, or you will die before everything starts. Wait for the right opportunity when people don't pay attention to you, and open up with Ambush on a Cloth Wearer to deal devastating amounts of damage. Healers can't heal others when they are dead, or they have to heal themselves.
If played well, Rogues can be more valuable for the team than Warriors, who are considered the top tier for dealing single-target damage. Rogues can come out of nowhere and end the life of the most important person in the enemy group. And while Mages can do that as well by merely dishing out AoE, Rogues have different windows of opportunity. Mages can create them, using the enemy positioning. Rogues can create them using their teammates, their position, and their actions. It's quite different.
They are also experts when it comes to scouting and gathering intel.
Hunter PvP
Hunters can be one of the most obnoxious and relentless classes in the entire game. They are annoying. They can easily tilt the enemy team with their swarm of long-range poke. Their damage is nothing special, but the distance from which they can deal it is infuriating.
Survival Hunters will do great in solo and group-based Player versus Player scenarios, as long as they utilize their kit properly. They have multiple tools to slow their enemies, whether it's Frost Trap, Concussive Shot, Wyvern Sting, or Wing Clip. It will allow them to stay at a large distance to slowly but surely chip away the enemy's health pool.
They will also be invaluable in group play. Frost Trap will slow all enemies by 50% in an extensive area, allowing Mages to deal more damage with their Area of Effect abilities. It's also beneficial for Melee classes, making them more prone to chase enemies successfully.
Thanks to their skills like Far Sight or Eagle Eye - they are also on par with Rogues when it comes to scouting for the team.
Warlock PvP
Jack-of-all-trades when it comes to PvP content. They will do great in every scenario, but they won't be the best at anything. This feat makes them flexible.
Warlocks can soak up lots of damage with various abilities that will give them additional health, heals, and shields. They can easily assist damage dealers with both AoE and single target abilities. They can deal damage over time with various Curses, and they can do some high-damage bursts granted they can proc their Nightfall that has a 2% of proccing.
Rule of thumb for Warlocks - they can easily top the damage charts if the fight gets longer than it should, as they dish out consistent damage all the time. And since they have some self-heal, with some help from allied Healers - they will most of the time stay alive on the battlegrounds for much longer in comparison to other classes.
Their Crowd Control capabilities are also immense. Enemy players will run around feared for very long periods rendering them completely useless. These CCs are more situational than other classes and should be used with a plan for a good purpose that fits the current situation.
Their utility outside of pure combat is also immense. They can increase the maximum health points of their allies by increasing stamina. They can teleport whole raids from one place to the other with the Ritual of Summoning. Their Healthstones and Soulstones are invaluable in any combat scenario. And they can also scout the area similarly to Hunters. And of course - Purge will be a great way of removing magical effects and debuffs off Allies and Enemies.
Priest PvP
Absolute Top Tier for 1v1 fights, as Shadow Priests can deal immense amount of damage, and players tend not to stack Shadow Damage Resistance that often. Their power is, however, significantly diminished in the group play. It is because they will be out of mana shortly after the beginning of the fight if they want to deal a lot of damage.
It is why during group play, they should switch to a classic Priest gameplay - providing much needed heals in all possible forms. Area of Effect Heals? You got that. Point and click heal? Got it. Healing over time? It's there for you, as well.
While fights will happen because of other classes, Priests will allow these fights to last. They will keep the most valuable teammates alive for a longer time. With a reliable offensive team that is equal to the enemy group, when no one makes mistakes - each combat is a battle of smart heals and healing efficiency. One missed heal or Resurrection might mean an utter defeat for the entire team. Losing one Warrior won't mean much, but losing one Priest can decide the whole encounter, so there's lots of responsibility involved.
Druid PvP
Quite hard to kill in solo encounters thanks to their speed, tankiness, and self-healing abilities. However, when it comes to dealing damage, only Feral DPS Druids will do something meaningful, while still being weaker than other Melee DPS Classes. They are not the best class to roll with if you want to go for 1v1 PvP.
In Group Player versus Player scenarios, Druids will be best as pure tanks. Their natural tankiness in Bear Form will greatly increase their sturdiness, allowing them to keep enemies busy with their presence on the battlefield alone.
They won't serve any good purpose as CC machines and Damage since their kits don't allow that. It will be hard to stay competitive or even relevant as these classes if you want to go with an off-meta playstyle.
Druids will also be able to bring some healing and buff utility outside of tanking. They can heal allies just fine, with some buffs here and there. They can also Resurrect fallen allies, which shouldn't be overlooked. Due to their speed and Tracking capabilities, they might be useful as quite Durable scouts, as things might go sour from time to time.
Shaman PvP
Masters of pure utility on the side of the Horde. They can heal, they can buff, they can clear CC and various other debuffs, but the most crucial thing - totems.
A few totems will be mandatory for a few things. The most notable ones are:
Mana Tide Totem - Best used in a group of your healers, as it will grant a stable mana regeneration for every healer standing in its 20-yard radius. It's a good bait for your priests to the group in a single small space, making them an easy target, so try to avoid it.
Tremor Totem - Amazing totem that will remove Fear, Charm, and Sleep from your allies in a quite big radius. A good thing to put down before enemy warriors dive in with Howl of Terror. It will make their attempts to CC your most important people completely useless.
Windwall Totem - It is a godsend against good Mages and Hunters. Each ranged attack incoming your way will have its damage dealt reduced by a small amount. But that small amount will reduce the damage taken greatly, as there are multiple enemies ranged casters and auto-attackers. It's a must-have on the frontlines in various scenarios.
Windfury Totem - The strongest combat-oriented buff in the entire game. After placing a totem, each Melee attacker in range will get a chance of an additional attack for their main-hand weapon. This attack will have its power increased, making a significant difference on the battlefield, especially for slow two-handed weapon users.
Paladin PvP
Paladin is an excellent class if a player knows what they are doing, as they are tough to utilize. Sometimes Paladins will try themselves as a frontline DPS and fail miserably just because enemy Rogues and Warriors have way too many tools to deal with enemies in the most brutal way. Don't get it wrong. Paladins surely can serve as the Retribution DPS. However, they have a limited kit when it comes to dealing damage, as it will all depend on basic attacks and lucky procs that may or may not win your encounter.
The strength of a Paladin lies in his buffs and heals. They are very mana efficient, they can easily compete against priests when it comes to healing, and their buffs are invaluable. They specialize in healing single targets and keeping them powerful and alive through the entire encounter.
When it comes to solo - it's a mixed bag. Retribution DPS will be able to do something here and there. With some procs, they could finish every fight. But their true strength lies in their survivability. While Warriors and Druids can withstand lots of hits due to their tankiness, Paladins can stay alive and kicking for a long time due to their heals, buffs, and a bubble ability.
Their main strength in 1v1 fights is pure preservation. You can basically outlive your enemies as long as you can keep your distance when you need to heal yourself up.
Classic WoW has the Honor System available. It makes PvP have a higher meaning than mindlessly killing enemies on various battlegrounds and in the Open World PvP just for the sake of killing.
Honor system gathers Honorable and Dishonorable Kills to compare the battle of the prowess of players in PvP Combat Scenarios. As you compete against other players in any PvP content, whether it comes to the battleground, Open World PvP, PvP Raids, with each kill you will get some points, or have them removed depending on a few variables, which not only counts your statistics but statistics of your target as well.
Honorable Kills & CP
Almost every time you kill a player from the opposing faction, you will be awarded some Honor points, as long as your kill fulfills specific requirements. Your enemy has to be at least within 10 levels of you (grey enemies won't award anything), and the number of points will be determined by CP (Contribution Points).
Contribution Points are a particular stat that shows the player's progress within a week. You gain these points similarly to Honor, by participating in PvP, be it Arathi Basin, Warsong Gulch, Alterac Valley, or just pure World PvP for PvP Rank and PVP Honor. These points are stable but will determine the number of Honor Points that you will get after killing a particular enemy.
Having lower CP than your target will grant you more honor, as your target is more experienced when it comes to time spent on PvP. Respectively, being experienced and fighting someone who has just reached level 60 and has 0 Contribution Points will reward close to no Honor Points as they fight wasn't fair.
Honor Points will be far more valuable at level 60, than at level 30. For example, you can kill an enemy that is equal level to you at level 30 and 60, and at 60, you will get far more points than you would've gotten at level 30.
You can kill various players, but killing the same player over and over again, corpse camping at their skeleton will not be effective in the long run - because of diminishing returns. With each subsequent kill on the same enemy, you will reduce the amount of Honor you get from them to zero in 5 kills. The timer resets every 24 hours, so you will be able to kill them again for some sweet honor if you find them and abuse them again.
You don't have to be the one to kill your enemies to get the Honor points. You can be in a party with someone. And if that someone kills a member of the enemy faction - you will get some points, as long as you are close to the kill. The higher level you are, the more Honor Points you will get.
Don't kill NPCs, as scoring a Dishonorable Kill will reduce your Honor by a lot. And of course - killing someone higher in the overall ranking will grant you more Honor.
Honor Mechanics
Honor has even more mechanics that will make your race towards rank 14 a little bit harder. You see, honor has a weekly system that will punish players who like to slack off. By getting Honor, your PvP Reputation Points will increase with each kill. However, each week, the number of your Honor points will always decrease by 20%. Reaching ranks won't be that hard in the beginning, but keeping them will be a challenge. The grind begins around rank 11. If you want to progress anywhere near the rank 14, you have to share the account and risk the ban or play more than 10 hours every day.
In theory, you should be able to reach rank 14 in 12 weeks, granted you manage to gain 13,000 Ranking Points every week. However - this will be hard. With each week, the amount of RP will decrease more and more, each time taking 20% off your collected amount. It won't hurt that much at 10,000 points. But it will hurt like hell when you manage to reach above 60,000 points after you reach Rank 14.
It's a hard work that will require lots of your free time and even more effort. So make sure you don't prioritize reaching and keeping rank 14 over your responsibilities, job, or your partner. Keep it healthy, so your mind stays in the right place.
It is the end of our WoW Classic PvP Guide. There's a long way ahead of you if you want to reach the true mastery of your class or the highest rank in Honor. So go out there now, wreak havoc on weaklings, or protect those who need help. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter if you want to be updated to our guides schedule. Anything you do, make sure you have fun, and that you are ruining your opponent's day!

Right out of a 'Tom of Finland' picture.
Try a little more "thigh toning", that might help with the swishing.
Some of the younger viewers here may not get the 'rather fight than swish' bit. Back in the 60s when cigarette advertising was unrestricted Tareyton cigarettes had an ad campaign that featured various people with a black eye saying "Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch". A Google image search will work if you want to see some.
I see something fighting with your pants.
Avoid the white streched ones.

OTANO TraceBack : Draw on current frame another frame's drawing - Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !
- You get a brush that replaces current pixels with the ones of your reference image (don't worry it also saves your old brush. It just doesn't work for anim brushs, you'll get only one image back). This brush keeps your current penbrush parameters, but you can add a line in the button with any brush you want in "merge" mode to set your own brush instead.
- Go to any frame you'd like to traceback your drawing. You can use your LT if you traceback from another image to see it as a reference, if it's on another layer at the same timeline position you can lower the opacity of the reference layer or use "display current".
- Then just set your brush and draw on your current image, it will replace any pixel of the current image with the pixels of the refernce image.
- If you had a selection while setting the brush and clear your selection, it will erase pixels outside of the selection.
- When you're done just click on "Get Back Brush" and you'll get back the brush you had before setting your reference image, and it will clear you selection (if you don't like this behaviour just remove the last line of the embedded script).
We could imagine the script recognizing you setted LT image and directly getting the image, but because I often need to traceback across multiple layers I prefered this universal behaviour. Also we could push the script further by making it recognizing your LT OOP settings to traceback OOP drawings, if I have some time after my graduation film I'd be happy to script that.


At first glance, Massimo Sestini's photograph Mare Nostrum is powerfully beautiful. Bright colours, a brilliant blue boat afloat the Mediterranean. My eye is drawn to one man: in what looks like a blue-and-white striped football jersey, he stands looking up at the camera with arms spread wide. But the boat is packed, tires hanging off the sides, and the open arms are those of a different kind of welcome.
The helicopter carrying Sestini, and the Italian frigate coming to the aid of the 400-odd people aboard the cramped boat, are part of Operation Mare Nostrum (OMN), a search-and-rescue operation led by the Italian government with the help of the Red Cross and a number of NGOs. Mare Nostrum means "our sea"—as in, we won't let people keep dying trying to cross our sea, trying to escape to a better life.
In its one year of operation (bridging 2013 and 2014), OMN saved over 150,000 people fleeing violence and persecution in Syria, and all across the African continent. With those conflicts worsening, the number of people trying to cross the Mediterranean has continued to grow. It no longer represents a spike, but rather a larger exodus—one of many in an increasingly complicated and dangerous world.
It's time to examine these conflicts, these forced migrations. It's time to help people establish new lives, new homes. It's time for 6 Degrees.

Night Sailing – webinar with 2-time circumnavigator Nancy Erley, March 10, 2011 »
BOOKS, Fears and Worries
First-time voyagers — What did they worry about that never happened? (Part 1)
March 6th, 2011 - by Lin Pardey
As we begin a new series on Women and Cruising discussing fear and how we deal with it, we asked Lin Pardey for her thoughts. As she is overwhelmed with repairs following the flooding in New Zealand as well as preparing for her March USA seminars, she is sharing a relevant chapter from her book "Capable Cruiser". In this chapter, Lin asked 11 pairs of willing volunteers to share their thoughts on predeparture worries, the gear that worked, failures that occurred, and thoughts they wanted to share with those waiting to set sail. We are publishing this chapter in two parts. Part 2 will appear next week.
Arriving in Apia, Samoa
It felt wonderful, no concerns about a wind shift turning our anchorage into a lee shore, no rattle of anchor chain across coral heads, the boat lying still enough to use long-stemmed glasses instead of tumblers for our wine.
Even better, arriving in Apia, Samoa, meant we had woven our way past the hurricane belt between Hawaii and Mexico, through the doldrums and south of the equator. Now we'd completed the longest passages of our voyage from Ventura, California, through the Line Islands and back to our home base in New Zealand.
As Larry and I savored this latest landfall in our 42 years and 185,000 miles of wandering together, I mentioned my sense of relief at arriving here. "If you feel so good about it," Larry commented, "can you imagine how pleased some of these first-time voyagers must feel?"
I already had some idea. In only a few hours alongside in the first marina we'd seen in several months, I'd met half a dozen of these newest voyagers and enjoyed their excitement at having made the break from life ashore and safely crossing a major ocean.
The idea for this story came after a fun dinner
with seven cruising couples in Apia, Samoa.
"They all tell me about the things that worried them before they set sail." I said to him.
"But they went anyway didn't they?" Larry countered. "These folks are the crème de la crème, the ones who got organized enough to break free and then actually cut the ties and kept going beyond the first landfall. It has been a long time since we were in a place where there was a whole group of new voyagers fresh from their first long passages, their first time away from easy access to marina facilities.
Why don't you ask some of them what they worried about that never actually happened? Might give you some interesting ideas to share."
With his urging, I made a short list of questions, and 11 pairs of willing volunteers shared their thoughts on predeparture worries, the gear that worked, failures that occurred, and thoughts they wanted to share with those waiting to set sail.
Predeparture worries
Close reaching in about 45 knots of wind
• "Really bad weather," stated Linda and Steve Maggart, echoing a worry that was at or near the top of the list for almost everyone we questioned.
Among the first timers we interviewed were Linda and Steve Maggart on their Rhodes 40. Their biggest fear had been storm force winds.
Linda and Steve had spent about 30 separate nights at sea before they set off from Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, in March 2008.
This was to be their very first offshore passage on their vintage sloop Linda, a 40-foot Rhodes Bounty II. With five charters in the Caribbean, plus coastal cruises from Seattle through the Inside Passage to Juneau, Alaska, and south to Cabo San Lucas, their experience level was above average among the group of first-time voyagers we met at Apia.
They, like the majority of sailors along the Pacific routes this season, had encountered stronger-than-average winds, especially near the very active South Pacific Convergence Zone. The system seemed to linger for weeks between Bora Bora and Tonga, stretching as far north as the Penrhyn Atoll in the Northern Cooks, where we also sailed through its 35- and 40-knot gusts. This, plus the reinforced trade winds caused by a La Niña year, had not been what folks expected along the "milk run."
But Linda and Steve both gave their boat full credit for handling these conditions comfortably and they felt they had done a good job of making sure they had ways of securing everything on board for such conditions.
• John Boggs on Don Pedro, a 47-foot Beneteau sloop, had sailed from Victoria, Canada, through the Panama Canal in a smaller yacht 28 years earlier. This was to be his wife Linda's first offshore voyage on the boat they had owned for six years.
In spite of his previous experience, he too worried most about extremely bad weather. When we asked, "What do you wish you had more of now that you are out here?" John answered, "More bad-weather experience." This must be one of the hardest things for new cruisers to acquire. Very few potential voyagers are willing to—or have the time or opportunity to—head out into a gale just to see how it feels. They rarely get a chance to try reefing their sails and moving about on deck and below to learn how their gear really works when the sea gets snarly.
• Two boats owned by interviewees had suffered full knockdowns while running between Bora Bora and Suwarrow Atoll. One suffered serious mast damage, the other had damaged lifeline stanchions. Neither had excessive water get inside the boat and no one was injured, and once each of these crews was able to repair the damages and continue onward, they, like all of the other interviewees, felt they had been pretty well prepared for the heavier winds they encountered.
Interestingly, both of the men on the boats that suffered knockdowns expressed their concern that they had let down their female partners. One said candidly, "When the boat came upright and I saw the damage, then I looked at the fear on her face and felt so terrible. This is definitely not what I promised her cruising would be like." Women, please take note: No matter how much we may feel we are equal partners in any sailing situation, men will always feel they are personally and ultimately to blame if something major goes wrong on board.
• Two people mentioned that they wished they had spent a few days at sea not only in strong winds but also in moderate running or reaching winds. Had they experienced the constant motion of being at sea, each would have made changes to the cockpit and accommodations to create more comfortable seating and lounging positions.
One commented: "My ass was sore after a few days of running. The inch-thick cockpit seat cushions were too darned hard. I couldn't find a decent place to wedge myself in and read in the cockpit or down below."
Being becalmed
Interestingly, none of the sailors we interviewed had been concerned about light winds before they set off. But when we met several of these sailors after they'd voyaged further, they wanted to know more about the light wind sails we carry.
Interestingly, Liz Strash and Mike Scott on Argonaut, a well-maintained Cal 40, worried almost as much about being becalmed as they did about encountering heavy weather.
"The crewman who sailed with us really freaked out when we actually did get becalmed a week out of Cabo. He started counting our food supplies, figuring out how long we could survive out there if the wind never came back. We tried to reassure him, but he was like a caged tiger for a day and a half—until the winds filled in. After that, he never felt as excited about the voyage." (Larry and I wondered whether he had just read Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner.)
Liz and Mike continued on their own after reaching the Marquesas Islands.
Gear failures
• They were delighted with their voyaging, eager for more, and able to laugh at all the concerns they'd had about breaking things. "We worried that the mast might come down, that the sails would get ripped up."
But by the time they reached Apia, their gear failures turned out to be, according to Mike, "nothing we really couldn't do without. Our head stopped working while we could still see Mexico, the refrigeration quit three days later. The watermaker seals leaked and had to be replaced and the block holding the gimbals on the stove broke."
• John and Nancy Powers, on their 48-foot sloop Meridian, worried about "through-hull fittings letting go, major engine problems, and someone falling overboard. Knock on wood, none of these happened," John said. "In fact," he added, "not much went wrong. But I am glad I had the spares I needed to keep things working. I'd tell new voyagers, if you need one, get two. There are no West Marine outposts here. So get the stuff now!"
• Craig Compton, who made this voyage with his wife, Kay, on their 28-foot BCC, Little Wing, echoed Mike's worries about "everything breaking." In contrast, however, he feels he carried far too many spares. "I installed everything on the boat other than the engine by myself. I used new parts as I did the installation and kept the old parts as the spares. I didn't need backup spares for the spares."
The late Hal Roth first wrote about installing new parts and keeping the originals as a way to be sure the spare parts fit and the right tools were on board. It's a practice we have always followed for vital equipment, such as bilge-pump diaphragms.
• Although the group of sailors we interviewed was small, their list of gear failures does parallel what we have seen since 1968. Refrigeration was mentioned the most often, engine fresh-water pump impellers came a close second, and watermaker problems were third.
John on Don Pedro mentioned that his watermaker problem was caused by using tap water to flush his system. When he contacted the manufacturer, he learned that the chlorine in city water was responsible for ruining the membrane. John suggested that we remind people to use only distilled water for flushing. (Seven of 10 interviewees had watermakers.)
In part 2, Lin writes about other common worries as well as suggestions for those preparing to set sail:

Exhibition The Web
Browsers: Windows on the Web
Early Web Browsers
Windows on the Web
The Web's extraordinary tapestry of images and text are presented to us by web browsers. They are only one component of the Web, along with servers and communications protocols, but they are the most visible.
Whoever writes the dominant browser software decides, by intention or omission, what we can see and do on the Web.
Browsers: The First Wave (1990-1993)
Tim Berners-Lee's 1990 browser-editor ran on rare NeXT computers. CERN refused to fund other versions. So the Web team invited volunteers to write browsers, and provided code to start with.
Eight responded, creating UNIX, Mac, and PC browsers. Viola and Midas were initially the most popular, eclipsed later by Mosaic. Berners-Lee never regained control of his creation.
Mosaic, the first browser supported by a major institution, started the Web on the road from research project to blockbuster success.
Written by brilliant student Marc Andreessen and UNIX expert Eric Bina at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, Mosaic was modeled on the Viola and Midas browsers and also used the CERN code library. But unlike others, it was reliable, could be installed by amateurs, and soon added colorful graphics within Web pages instead of as separate windows.
Mosaic spread quickly. NCSA assigned teams to write UNIX, Mac, and PC versions, and servers.
NCSA Mosaic "What's New" page
Maintained by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina, this page showcased recent news about the Web.
Eric Bina
Marc Andreessen had roughed out a Mosaic demo during his 1992 Christmas vacation, and then recruited his friend Bina to help him write the Unix browser. Andreessen unofficially led students working on Mac and PC browsers, and on the Web server.
Joseph Hardin and Larry Smarr
Smarr was the founding director of NCSA, and Hardin the head of the Software Development Group. They put the institution's full resources behind Mosaic.

Compressor Oil Market size to grow by USD 9.23 billion: Market segmentation by product type, Applications, and geography
Exactitude Consultancy
December 7, 2022, 1:55 a.m. ·8 min read
Compressor Oil Market by Base Oil (Synthetic Oil, Mineral Oil), Compressor Type (Reciprocating, Rotatory Screw, Centrifugal, Others), and Region, Global Trends and Forecast To 2029
Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, Dec. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exactitude Consultancy, the market research and consulting wing of Ameliorate Digital Consultancy Private Limited has completed and published the final copy of the detailed research report on the Compressor Oil Market.
The global compressor oil market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 2.5% from 2022 to 2029. From USD 5.41 billion in 2020, it is expected to exceed USD 9.23 billion by 2029.
Compressor Oil Market Overview
Compressor oil is a lubricant used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems to reduce heat and cool compressors. Its anti-rust properties ensure the proper operation of metal components and improve machinery performance. Compressor oil also has excellent oxidation stability and leaves a low carbon residue, lowering the user's operating and maintenance costs. It is made from a mixture of base oil and various other additives.
The compressor oil's quality and longevity are determined by the basic oil used. With cost-cutting and energy-saving features. Compressor oil is one of the essential components in an air conditioning system that uses oil for three functions: lubrication, heat removal, and sealing. These are widely used to improve performance, efficiency, and the reduction of harmful compounds. Demand for compressor oil is increasing in industries such as construction, oil and gas, and mining.
The increasing demand for compressor oils to manage smoother operations, as well as the product's high usage for reducing downtime and machine repair, are the major factors driving the compressor oil market. The use of these lubricants in heat dissipation, controlling equipment temperature, and the fact that heat generated by compressors during operations results in increased power consumption and machine wear and tear all contribute to the compressor oil market's growth.
Furthermore, rapid urbanization and industrialization, the expansion of manufacturing industries, rising demand for high-quality compressor oil, and the rise in automation in various industries all benefit the compressor oil market.
The global market for compressor oil is expected to remain dominated by synthetic oil.

Compressor Oil Market Segmentation
By Compressor product Type
Rotatory screw
Positive displacement compressors have mechanical parts that draw in gas in discrete volume steps from the compressor's inlet. This action reduces the volume of the gas, raises the pressure, and discharges the gas from the compressor's outlet.
Dynamic compressors deliver a large volume of air by accelerating it to high velocity with rotating blades and confining it to decelerate under expansion to increase pressure.
The centrifugal segment controls the vast majority of the Compressor Oil Market.
A positive displacement compressor is a reciprocating compressor. Household refrigerators and freezers, residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration, natural gas processing and delivery, chemical plants, oil refineries, and many other industries all use reciprocating compressors.
By Base Oil
Semi-Synthetic Oil
Bio-Based Oil
The global market for compressor oil is expected to remain dominated by synthetic oil. A synthetic oil base is used to make synthetic oil. Synthetic oils improve compressor performance and extend compressor life. This oil is used in a variety of compressors, including centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, screw compressors, and others.
Gas Compressor
By End Use Industry
Automotive Engines
Manufacturing industries are expected to become major end users of compressors, making them major consumers of compressor oil. Compressor oil is in high demand in industries such as the chemical industry, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal and mining, industrial air separation, and others. The manufacturing sector is also estimated to account for slightly more than half of total compressor oil consumption.
By Sales channel
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
During the assessment period, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are expected to remain important sales channels in the global compressor oil market. OEMs create the original product, which is then sold by another company.

The United States is expected to remain one of the leading countries in the global compressor oil market. The growth of industries such as oil and gas, automobile, power generation, food and beverage industries, chemical industries, and others has resulted in an increase in demand and use of various types of compressors. Asia Pacific will generate approximately USD 3.5 billion by 2027 due to the region's higher concentration of major manufacturing industries. The region has more than 60% of the world's population, so the general manufacturing sector is thriving to meet the demand for consumer-based products, propelling the demand for compressors and positively affecting the region's product market growth rate.
The expansion of various end-use industries has resulted in a significant increase in the Chinese compressor oil market. Compressor oil sales in China are also expected to increase over the forecast period, owing to increased demand from end-use industries.
India's industrialization has been a significant contributor to the expansion of the compressor oil market. The rising demand for electricity and power supply to support a growing economy will drive up demand throughout the forecast period.
Germany is also expected to account for roughly one-fifth of Europe's overall compressor oil market.
Some of the leading companies operating in the market are Exxon Mobil Corporation, Total S.A., Sinopec Group, Royal Dutch Shell plc, Atlas Copco Group, BASF SE, British Petroleum plc, Dow, Croda International, Sasol Limited, FUCHS, Chevron Corporation, Repsol, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, CASTROL LIMITED, HP Lubricants, Klüber Lubrication, Atlas Copco AB, Morris Lubricants, Penrite Oil, Other Key Players
In February 2022, Royal Dutch Shell PLC announced that Shell Rotella, the company's lubricant brand, will supply carbon-neutral lubricants for heavy-duty engines in North America. The corporation sees it as a step toward Shell's becoming a zero-emissions energy provider by 2050.
In October 2021, EnPro Industries, Inc., an industrial technology firm, made the announcement about the sale of its Compressor Products International business segment to Howden Group, which is involved in providing mission-critical air & gas handling products and services.

MUST - Historical Museum of the city of Lecce
Former monastery of Santa Chiara Via degli Ammirati, n ° 11 73100 - Lecce
Share MUST - Historical Museum of the city of Lecce
The MUST - Historical Museum of the City of Lecce is open to the public in the section dedicated to modern and contemporary art, on the ground floor. Soon sections dedicated to the history of Lecce, from the Messapians to the twentieth century, will also be set up.
Once an ancient monastery of Santa Chiara, the beautiful monumental complex that houses the MUST, is located in the heart of the historic center, adjacent to the church of Santa Chiara and the ancient Roman Theater. Probably, the former monastery was founded in 1410 by the friar Tommaso Ammirato, a religious of the Order of the Conventual Fathers of San Francesco, bishop of the city of Lecce from 1429 to 1438. According to another hypothesis, instead, the foundation is due to wealthy Antonio di Giovanni De Ferraris who destined some buildings and all his movable property for the monastery of the Poor Clares.
From the few existing paper evidence, it appears that the cells were twenty and that there were three dormitories, a refectory and a pantry. Over the centuries the monastery has undergone massive renovations and it seems that the last Poor Clares remained there until 1866. More recently used as an office of Finance Intent, today the building opens to the public with exhibition rooms of rare beauty, in which the white light of the lime merges with the golden atmospheres of the Lecce stone.
At the entrance, a large vaulted arched hall amazes the visitor with its grandeur, and envelops it in the luminous rays coming from the inner courtyards. The meticulous restoration has enhanced the already refined architectural elements,
A reopening that gave the city of Lecce an important center of cultural aggregation, in which to bring together the historical depth of the city with its current liveliness. The MUST hosts permanent exhibitions including the works of the Salentine sculptor Cosimo Carlucci, the photographic exhibition of the American artist Jenny Okun and a collective of contemporary art - De Sculptura - (sculpture) by artists from the Apulian territory, with works created in the last 50 years . In the MUST there is also a Living lab and numerous temporary exhibitions that throughout the year enrich the cultural offer of the Museum

Why Valeant Pharmaceuticals Soared 15% Wednesday
By Todd CampbellFool.com
Image source: Walgreens Boots Alliance.
What: After Walgreens Boots Alliance management reported quarterly financials and indicated a willingness to work with Valeant Pharmaceuticals to make their distribution deal more successful, shares in Valeant Pharmaceuticals roared 15.6% higher on Wednesday.
So what:Forced by scrutiny to shutter its distribution relationship with specialty pharmacy Philidor last year, Valeant Pharmaceuticals inked a deal with Walgreens Boots Alliance to act as a middleman on many of Valeant Pharmaceuticals most popular medications.
Unfortunately, the agreement has -- so far -- been less rewarding to Valeant Pharmaceuticals than it has been to Walgreens Boots Alliance. Walgreens Boots Alliances fills prescriptions for Valeant Pharmaceuticals and receives a services fee for doing so. As a result, it benefits nicely as volume increases for Valeant Pharmaceuticals products.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals, however, isn't getting reimbursed from payers as quickly as it would like for prescriptions filled by Walgreens Boots Alliance, and in some cases, the amount that's getting paid to them is too low for Valeant Pharmaceuticals to turn a profit.
Now what:In Valeant Pharmaceuticals most recent quarterly conference call, newly seated CEO Joseph Papa said that management is aware of the problems its facing with the Walgreens Boots Alliance deal and that it's working on fixes.
Papa reminded investors that the distribution deal with Walgreens Boots Alliance is in its early stages and that growing pains are to be expected. Walgreens Boots Alliance executives mirrored that thinking, similarly reminding investors today that it's only months into a 20-year relationship.
Specifically, Walgreens Boots Alliance co-COO Alex Gourlay said:
Importantly, Gourlay added, "We want to help our partner to be more successful in market."
How Gourlay and Walgreens Boots Alliance can help Valeant Pharmaceuticals be more successful via their relationship wasn't clear, and it seems to me that Walgreens Boots Alliance is in the driver's seat regarding any potential changes to this deal. Nevertheless, investors latched on to Gourlay's comments as evidence that Valeant Pharmaceuticals may be able to get a handle on margins associated with scripts Walgreens Boots Alliance fills. If they can, it would be very good news for the embattled company.

Q: dynamic csv to sqlite importing with open((path + 'stuff.csv'),'r+') as fin1:
    dr1 = csv.DictReader(fin1)
    create1="CREATE TABLE LGD ("
    exe1="INSERT INTO LGD ("
    for a in dr1.fieldnames:
        if a=='':
            pass
        elif ' ' in a:
            create1+=a.replace(" ","")+','
            exe1+=a.replace(" ","")+','
        else:
            create1 += a + ","
            exe1+= a + ","
    create1 = create1[:-1]
    exe1=exe1[:-1]
    create1 +=");"
        exe1+=") VALUES ("
    for a in range(len(dr1.fieldnames)-1):
        exe1+='?'+","
    exe1=exe1[:-1]
    exe1+=");"
    cur.execute(create1)
    to_db1 = [(a[dr1.fieldnames[0]],a[dr1.fieldnames[1]],a[dr1.fieldnames[2]],a[dr1.fieldnames[3]],a[dr1.fieldnames[4]]) for a in dr1]
    cur.executemany(exe1,to_db1)
    conn.commit()

ok my goal is to import each csv document as a table into sqlite database. Let's say I have 100 of them.
Right now my code writes the strings dynamically but how can i create the to_db1 list so I don't have to define how many columns there are?
specifically this line
to_db1 = [(a[dr1.fieldnames[0]],a[dr1.fieldnames[1]],a[dr1.fieldnames[2]],a[dr1.fieldnames[3]],a[dr1.fieldnames[4]]) for a in dr1]

I've seen this question, but mine is different because the fieldnames have spaces in them and they can't be takenout as many of the documents are uneditable. I also don't want to lose the list formatting shown below.
[(stuff,stuff,stuff),(stuff,stuff,stuff)]

Dynamically import columns from csv into database table in sqlite3 and python
to restate my question, I want to create the to_db1 list without defining the column names at compile time. it should create it in this format
[(stuff,stuff,stuff),(stuff,stuff,stuff)]

at runtime.

A: To get the fieldnames without spaces and already joined by comma, you can use a list comprehension:
names = ['my _id', 'some a', 'some b']
sanitized_names = "({})".format(", ".join(x.replace(' ','') for x in names))

# => (my_id, somea, someb)

From there, you can reuse the answer you linked to.
To get tuples from the dicts in dr1 ordered like dr1.fieldnames, use [tuple(a[x] for x in dr1.fieldnames) for a in dr1].

COVID-19 – Message for Grant Holders
RESEARCH TOOL: FCS-FREE MEDIA DATABASE
GRANTHOLDER PAPERS
By Patrick Baker13/08/2020 No Comments
50 years ago, a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens united to change the world.
Dedicated to doing all they could to end experiments on animals, they realised the best way to achieve their vision was to advance scientific research methods to match their progressive values.
Animal Free Research UK was born.
Fast-forward five decades, and our charity has played a foundational role in establishing today's human relevant life sciences sector. Thanks to our visionary supporters, we have given £10 million in grants to fund pioneering research, supported over 260 scientific projects, and prevented 1.6 million animals from suffering in experiments.
Our values remain at the heart of everything we do.
Rigorous and evidential – we present factual, reliable information. Our work is evidenced-based, thoughtful and respected by our peers.
Pioneering – we place ethics at the heart of science through innovative, solutions-focused research. Our determination drives scientific discovery forward.
Compassionate – we care deeply about people and animals. Our ambition to end suffering is heartfelt and unswerving.
Our charity is firmly rooted in the social justice movement. We believe that experiments on animals are ethically unjustified and that pioneering animal free research provides the best chance of finding treatments for human diseases. We want to change the world for the better – to benefit both people and animals.
We also believe we have a social responsibility that goes beyond our core remit, to treat people, animals and planet with fairness, dignity and respect.
That's why we are working with the Daphne Jackson Trust to help people who have had a career break for a family, caring or health reason to get back into medical research.
It's why we support young people to get hands on experience in research laboratories to give them a leg up in their careers.
It's why we are committed to doing more to help ensure people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are supported to access the best animal free medical research career opportunities.
It's why we fund research into debilitating diseases including cancer, brain tumours, chronic pain, diabetes, COVID-19, and leukaemia.
It's why we embrace flexible working to support our team's wellbeing, motivation and productivity.
It's why if you come to an event we run, you'll be served delicious vegan food.
It's why everyone is working from home for the foreseeable future – not only because of COVID-19, but also because we want to do our small bit to reduce our carbon footprint on this planet.
There's always more to do – we're only human and we're certainly not perfect. But our commitment to creating a world where human diseases are cured faster without animal suffering is steadfast. And I'm convinced that the best way to achieve this is to treat everyone – every person, every animal, everything that inhabits our planet – in the right way.
We don't always get it right; we won't always get it right. But we will keep on learning together and striving to do better.
If you have suggestions for something we could do better, please let me know at hello@animalfreeresearchuk.org. I'd love to hear from you.
I started this blog with a nod to a quote attributed to Margaret Mead, so it seems fitting to end with one from her daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson. It's one our team tries to live by:
"We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn."

Something I always advise visitors to do in Marbella is to walk from one end of the resort's famous Golden Mile to the other.
If you thought of Marbella as being exclusively a glitzy, 'grown up' destination, then think again. From the public beaches with entertaining 'elephant showers' to theme parks and adventure playgrounds, the city has a range of family-friendly activities to keep everyone happy.
It can be hard in the warm sunshine of Marbella to gather much enthusiasm for visiting dark, gloomy museums, but luckily the city has a rich variety of al fresco art across its parks, plazas and along its promenade, ready for art lovers to explore.
Although mostly renowned for its fabulous sun, sea and surf culture, Lloret de Mar, a premier resort on Spain's Costa Brava, actually has a fascinating and very important history for those who feel inclined to delve a little deeper than the bucket-and-spade beach brigade.
Although there is nothing better than taking a well-deserved family holiday, it can be hard to find the perfect resort in the perfect location. One of the toughest challenges is finding a child-friendly space whilst still catering to the parents' expectations of a pampering escapade.

SCOTT JEFFREY Scott Jeffrey is a 36-year-old software developer and native New Yorker. He grew up in Park Slope, Brooklyn and attended Midwood High School, a "magnet" public school in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. He graduated from Princeton University, class of 1989, with a Bachelor's Degree in Astrophysics, and moved to the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Jeffrey never forgot his roots and never sold out to corporate America. He refuses to drug test, sacrificing many career goals to free his voice to speak the truth.
In 1996, Jeffrey founded Legalize, a 5000-member website empowering ordinary Americans to speak out to legalize marijuana.
In 2000, Jeffrey ran for office for the first time, challenging liberal icon Charles Rangel for United States Congress. He collected 3500 signatures to put himself on the ballot and received 480 votes.
In 2001, Jeffrey ran for Manhattan Borough President receiving 3052 votes — more than any Libertarian candidate had received in Manhattan in over 20 years. He also led a 13,000-signature petition drive to put nine Libertarian runningmates on the ballot on the ballot. Nearly all were in their 20's and 30's, and collectively they received over 20,000 votes.
In 2002, Jeffrey took the fight for liberty across the Empire State by running for New York Governor (www.VoteJeffrey.com). Once again he led the petition drive, submitting 19,000 signatures to put himself and six other Libertarian candidates on the ballot. He participated in two televised debates with Governor George Pataki and Democratic candidate Carl McCall, and received 5013 votes on Election Day.
In 2003, Jeffrey began lobbying for the New York Duane-Gottfried "Right to Marry" Bill. He organized the first lobby effort for the bill, connecting local constituents with elected officials representing Albany, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, New Paltz, Queens and Rochester. He also collected 7000 signatures in support of the bill.
Last year Legalize was relaunched to incorporate his broader pro-liberty agenda. By bringing together online activism with street petitioning, Legalize provides communities across New York an effective vehicle to connect with their elected representatives. Jeffrey also continued his petitioning efforts, collecting another 5000 signatures in support of the "Right to Marry" Bill.
This year Legalize is focusing its activist energy on defeating Mayor Bloomberg in his bid for re-election. Please join our team of 7000 citizen activists by registering your e-mail address so we can keep you informed of our activities and successes.

In this difficult economy, crime is reportedly on the rise, regardless of what neighborhood one lives in. Residents tell us they are looking for ways to feel more safe and protect themselves.
Here is a new product we have been reading reviews about that is doing a better job of securing sliding class doors. Coming out of Florida, this product is called Safe Slider. The lock is produced in the E.U. and now is available in the US through SafeSlider.com. This patented double bolt lock product has been around for over 12 years, with the Florida company licensed to distribute the product for 3 years. They have installed 1000's of locks in the Central FL area and recently launched their website which allows them to sell their products on the Internet.
The device was used during the summer Olympics in Athens, Greece to secure the athletes in their dwellings there. A consumer testing lab in Miami, Florida rated the strength of the lock at 1,000 pounds after applying 1,000 pounds of force trying to force open the door. The lock held.
If you are investigating new safety items for your home this may be worth checking out.
