The world of 47 Kapella is a war-torn wasteland, every square mile of its surface torn apart by craters and criss-crossed with mile after mile of trench line. When war first came to 47 Kapella, millions were displaced as vast armies clashed against one another, and dozens of huge refugee camps sprung up. Generations later, some of these camps had become cities, vast conurbations of ragged buildings made of the detritus of war and populated by the lost and the damned.
It's no surprise, then, that the Chaos God Nurgle, Lord of Plagues and Despair, reared his scabrous head in one such camp.
The malady began when the sick and the desperate of Camp 109 turned their faces from the light of the Emperor and beseeched other, darker powers for deliverance. Deep within the Realm of Chaos, Papa Nurgle heard their pleas and sent forth his myriad gifts to grant them life eternal in his name.
The first to receive Nurgle's gifts were Imperial Guardsmen recovering from wounds sustained at the front line of the war. Their wounds scabbed over and an unnatural vitality flooded through them. Even as their features sloughed into hideous flesh-masks, these converts went forth amongst the populace of Camp 109 and preached to the masses that only by embracing death and despair would they cast off their fear and enter into a new existence. The converts became an order of demagogues, calling themselves the Scourge, and soon they were preaching at every corner, their filth-encrusted robes concealing their faces while their phlegm-ridden voices beseeched any who would listen to follow them into glory.
The contagion that the Scourge spread through Camp 109 was not simply one of bodily infection, but of the spirit as well. Those who heeded their sermons found themselves falling ill with dozens of ravenous plagues at once, yet they felt glad to be sick. Soon, established orders were preaching against the Scourge, denouncing them as servants of the archenemy. It was not long before Camp 109 was beset by civil war every bit as destructive as the battles its population had originally fled from.
The leaders of each side were the preachers of the various orders. On one side, zealots of a dozen different cults of the Imperial Creed gathered the faithful and led them in assaults against the plague-ridden fanes of the Scourge. On the other, the demagogues of the Scourge rallied their sickly flock and formed them into a fly-infested wave of filth that overcame any who stood before it.
When the Scourge launched an attack against an Order Hospitaller field hospital, the situation finally came to the attention of the Imperium's authorities. The Sisters Hospitaller barely escaped with their lives, and the tales they brought to the Imperial Guard high command convinced the generals that something far worse than a refugee camp riot was afoot.
Even as the generals were requesting aid from the Tricorn Palace, the situation inside Camp 109 was growing desperate. The last followers of the true creed were overcome, and the Scourge enacted a terrible rite to the glory of their dark patron. The bloated corpses of their victims split asunder, and from within each a daemon of Nurgle - a Plague Bearer - emerged. Camp 109 became in a single night the centre of a stinking web of corruption, which was inexorably seeping across the surface of 47 Kapella.
Salvation came to 47 Kapella in the form of Inquisitor Lystug of the Ordo Malleus and his retinue. The Inquisitor's first thought was to bomb Camp 109 from orbit, ensuring that no trace of its corruption remained. But one of Lystug's companions, a former member of the Orders Hospitaller, counselled against such a course of action. She advised that the source of the infestation was as much spiritual as it was biological, and would never be purged unless the original host was located and exorcised. Lystug heeded her words, and sought the aid of the Sisters Hospitaller who had fought their way out of the camp before it had been overrun. The sisters agreed to accompany the Inquisitor and his household on a desperate mission: to return to Camp 109, seek out the host, and purge it.
The combined force infiltrated the camp the very next day, but soon reports of unexplained sickness afflicting the front line regiments started to trickle in to high command. Realising that time was short, Lystug abandoned subtlety. Guided by the Sisters Hospitaller, he and his retinue cut their way straight towards the host he knew must reside at the heart of the infestation. The deeper his force penetrated, the more vile the sickness afflicting the camp became. At first, they encountered individual afflicted people, but soon waves of zombie-like followers of the Scourge came at them. While the outer limits of the camp were ragged and stank of corruption, the inner precincts were carpeted with biological matter that reeked with such vile sickness that even the most well-crafted rebreather was incapable of keeping it at bay. It was the Sisters Hospitaller that kept the force moving in such trying conditions, for they exuded a palpable aura of purity that forced back the vile plagues of the enemy, creating a path through which Lystug and his retinue could tread safely.
That path led to the very centre of Camp 109, where they found the first host waiting for them atop a mountain of bloated, fly-ridden corpses. The host, the very first of the wounded Imperial Guardsmen to have beseeched the Lord of Plague for aid, had become a Daemon Prince of Nurgle, granted apotheosis for the destruction wrought in his master's name.
Lystug ordered his servants to attack, but his words went unheeded as the Sisters Hospitaller stepped forward as one and formed a circle around the vile daemon. Chanting praises to the saints of their healing order, the Adepta Sororitas crippled the servant of Nurgle, purging its bloated, decaying body of contagion so that only a dried, shrivelled husk remained. Yet still, the power of Nurgle animated the Daemon Prince's form. It slew the many of the sisters and attempted to flee.
Yet at that moment, Inquisitor Lystug stepped within the circle of purity created by the Sisters Hospitaller and delivered a single, crushing blow. In an instant, the Daemon Prince of Nurgle was struck down and its plagues halted.
Only when Lystug and the remaining Sisters were evacuated was Camp 109 destroyed. The cleansing fires of orbital bombardment seared the damned place to ashes, and it remains ruined to this day. Only through the purity of the Sisters Hospitaller and the valour of the Inquisition was 47 Kapella saved from a world-ravaging plague.

Pompeo's Visit to Bahrain Ignores Rights Issues
Activists May Look to US Congress for Support

Lebanon and Bahrain Researcher @Aya_Majzoub
US Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo is greeted by Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa upon arrival in Manama, Bahrain on January 11, 2019.
© 2019 US Department of State
United States Secretary of State Michael Pompeo predictably avoided public discussion of human rights concerns during his recent visit to Bahrain, part of a nine-nation Middle East tour.
During a meeting with the King, Crown Prince, and Foreign Minister on January 11, Pompeo thanked Bahrain for its strategic partnership with the US and discussed a list of "critical priorities" from which the backsliding human rights situation in the country was notably absent. Pompeo addressed the parliamentary elections held last November, noting they resulted in the election of the first female Speaker of the Council of Representatives, but not that they were marred by serious repressive measures that compromised the integrity of the results.
In the run-up to the election, Bahraini authorities and courts disqualified or jailed almost all opposition leaders; shuttered independent media; and kept scores of activists, journalists, and human rights defenders in prison on bogus charges. The bipartisan Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in the US House of Representatives expressed concern about fairness of the elections concluding "it will be difficult under these conditions for the international community to recognize the upcoming elections as legitimate."
The election of the first female speaker was more of an exception than a sign of progress given that several female activists continue to languish in prison. Security forces detained Hajer Mansoor Hassan, Medina Ali, and Najah Yusuf due to their human rights activism or that of their family members, and courts convicted them in flawed trials that relied on the use of coerced confessions. The three women are routinely harassed and abused by prison guards, according to their families and local human rights groups.
The Trump administration has removed human rights concerns from the bilateral relationship with Bahrain writ large. In 2018, the State Department approved five major weapons sales to Bahrain worth an estimated US$1.4 billion. In March 2017, the human rights conditions that the Obama administration had attached to a sale of F-16 fighter jets worth US$2.8 billion were dropped.
Pompeo's failure to raise rights concerns in public during his visit only emboldens the Bahraini authorities and sends a message to Bahraini activists they should not look to the Trump administration for support. They may have better luck pressing the new US Congress to seize the opportunity it has to make clear that America supports basic rights in Bahrain, even if the administration does not.
Your tax deductible gift can help stop human rights violations and save lives around the world.

The Market Cap for Nintendo has now passed 19 billion dollars, while Sony has dropped to 17 billion. What this means is that Nintendo has not only 19 billion worth in stocks, but also has 11 billion of it's own "warchest" in their bank account, also known as cash on hand.
It is amazing how much flak Nintendo gets from all angles of the industry when they have earnings like this. Regardless of current conditions for the Wii U (which are slowing improving) Nintendo still shows that they know very clearly how to run a business.


According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the popularity of high performance motorcycles has pushed deaths of motorcyclists to near record highs. So-called "supersport" motorcycles are typically built on racing platforms modified for sale to motorcycle enthusiasts for legal street operation. Light in overall weight and equipped with powerful engines, supersports are built for speed. Unfortunately, they can also be deadly.
Motorcycle deaths have more than doubled in the last 10 years. While supersport bikes made up less than 10% of all registered motorcyles in 2005, supersport bikers accounted for over 25% of all biker deaths. Supersport bikers should remember that these racing bikes are built for speed but public streets are not the place to test their limits. And, as always, for bikers who operate whatever type of motorcycles they prefer within the rules of the road, other motorists need to be alert to observe and avoid collisions with the comparatively unprotected motorcyclist on our state streets, roads and highways. If you or a loved one is injured in a motorcycle accident or automobile accident, call CGWC and speak to our experienced motor vehicle accident lawyers.


Design a logo Ota Sports, be creative!
I repeat myself: Our competition.
If that's what you want to call it. What's your point?
Congratulations to the winner ulogo and to Ta Sports...or is it Cta Sports??
You should've chosen 257. It works better, and is easier to read from a distance.
The design isn't bad, but it looks like the name is "ta sports." That's not the designer's fault though. The client favored those off-balance designs with the football for an "O," so that's what they responded with. But something like 256 is more balanced than the one picked. Hopefully for him, his customers can figure out the name.
Check out #292 - #315 , please. Thanks.
Hi Everyone! Thanks for all your entries! The contest is almost finished! I will rate some more designs this afternoon. I will make a decision in the next few days! Thanks for all of your effort and your great designs. Good Luck!
color and other things can be negotiate.
Dear Contest Holder don't listen to others and remember your money and your choice, you pay what you like..there are lots of people jealous about good designs.
congratulations lsjaravinda,livoizai,iakabir,Manao0511 for be in top list with four stars of choice.
dear contest holder please check each design and rate them to boost the all designers moral.
contest holder don't have a sense of logos.........he is liking unprofessional logos....what's so special in #106..????
This is my contest. I'm paying $200 to the logo winner I like. Don't enter if you want to complain. Personal taste is PERSONAL taste for a reason. Please don't judge anyone elses designs, I am impressed with the logos I've selected.
Thanks for your great entries. We appreciate all the effort you've all put in. Not long left to go! Weldone everyone!

sir chek it plz....#230.....simply attractive.
Is there any feedback on the entries, or is this just a clip art contest?
Hi. Hehe. Yes, this is just a clip art contest. Hehe. Yeah, these are all great if you live in the 1980's.
Look at it this way, there's only 1 day before the nightmare ends.
Please do not ask about feedback. We have given stars to logos we like, and rejected those we don't. Obviously we like the looks of the five star logos so thats obviously the look we are going for. Thanks for all your designs, but we are giving feedback by rewarding stars.
That is appreciated but I think what people are after (at least its what I look for) are tweaks you might want to see to help us make a design your happy with. An example if you like the design but are not keen on the colours, writing, if you want too see without background.
sir plz check it #230.

Dave Shuten's Ice Truck - Cool As Ice
Dan Woods' Ice Truck
David Franklinphotographer
"You've got to understand; I built the Ice Truck to drive the #@*$ out of--I wanted to go out and raise hell with it. I'd take it out to parking lots after a car show and smash my foot down and turn the steering wheel. It's like the world's biggest go-kart--you couldn't turn it over if you tried. It's less than 47 inches tall, 100 inches wide with a 106-inch wheelbase--you do the math."
There are many pioneers of hot rodding, but you don't usually find them much past the 1950s. Dan Woods redefined hot rodding in the 1970s with his application of then-current racing technology, unique design and fabrication, great attention to finish and detail, but also as one of the first to devote a business exclusively to building hot rods for customers and selling exclusive hot rod components for Model Ts through 1940s Fords.
His reputation as a great builder was defined by many things, but the Ice Truck established him as the leading builder of hot rods. No one was building cars like he was then or possibly ever. The Ice Truck was like something from outer space back in the 1960s when Dan, legendary designer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, and cartoonist Ed "Newt" Newton first conceived it.
Dan's Milk Truck landed him a job at Ed Roth's Maywood digs, which introduced him to resident cartoonist and designer Newt. Soon Dan had conveyed his wacky ice truck/Indy car idea to Newt, who morphed the two opposing ideas on paper. Keep in mind the entire conception and build takes place between 1967 and 1970.
The frame and independent suspension were built by Dan in his parents' garage. The rear is based on a Jaguar third member, while the front features homemade A-arms originally sprung by a single leaf spring, before being changed in the early 1970s into Dan's signature opposed-coil spring setup. The brass radiator housing hides the military armored personnel carrier water pump and conventional radiator and was put together at Henry's Machine Works in Bellflower using thick brass plate painstakingly welded through trial and error so there is no heat discoloration or pitting. Dan also purchased the blown Buick from Mickey Thompson straight out of his twin-engine Monster dragster for $500--paid in installments--before Vietnam interrupted Dan's life in 1967.
By the time of the first moon walk in August 1969, Dan was back home with ice in his veins and that personnel carrier water pump and F-4 Phantom map light stuffed in his duffel bag--both of which would end up on the Ice Truck.
"I would sit there and grind and Newt would tell me to move it this way or that--he and Roger were there for every inch of the body shape," says Dan. "Once we got the mahogany panels on, I took it back home and fiberglassed it. We used finger joints pinned with dowels and glue for the body framework--kind of Old World-like construction. I primed and painted it, then it was off to Joe Perez for upholstery. We thrashed to get it done for the 1971 Oakland Roadster Show."
Business and life took over and Dan opened Contemporary Chassis Design and Contemporary Carriage Works and became responsible for countless customer hot rods. The Ice Truck sat until the late1970s when he sold it, which was the last time he saw his creation for many years.
Current Ice Truck owner Dave Shuten has immersed himself in the show car culture of the 1960s and 1970s, and after recreating Ed Roth's Mysterion and his own Astrosled bubbletop car, he was ready to build his version of Dan's Ice Truck, which he thought was never finished. "I'm fascinated by the whole show car thing because I like how it's cars and art, and I like the artsy part," says Dave. "And they're different--I like different." When I asked what his car buddies thought about his show car affliction he added, "Most of my friends think I'm nuts."
We'll let Dan describe it: "It had been years and years and then these pictures of the Ice Truck show up painted candy blood red with `Blood Alley' emblazoned on the side. It just curdled my stomach. Candy red with all that brass crap hung all over it--cowl lights and headlights engraved like bikers do it--and the headers were cut off to get in without stepping on them. They relocated the steering, too--all these things just messed it up."
The candy paint was a problem for another reason. Says Dave, "Yeah, whoever painted it used that old Centari paint--everything under the clear was like chewing gum. I had to strip the paint with a razor blade--the frame and everything." That and finding the NOS Indy tires were the biggest problems encountered with the project. Otherwise the car was remarkably intact.
Dave found a drag boat gearbox to convert the steering back to the 90-degree configuration and recreated the center console, which had been modified. With the headers restored, he cleaned and polished the engine and transmission, which had almost no miles, and painted and reassembled the chassis.
After prepping the body, Dave got Long Island's Fritz Schenck--another 1960s/70s show car fanatic--to paint the House of Kolor Ice Blue pearl with diamond dust and white fogging. Fritz also handled the platinum leaf work, then he and Dave pinstriped the body.
John Meyer at Ogden Top and Trim in Chicago handled the ice blue velour interior, closely following photos supplied by Woods. "These old show cars need to be what they were," says Dave. "I went to great lengths to make sure it was right--the way it was." The F-4 Phantom map light seen just above a young Dan Woods in the vintage photo has been lost and another has yet to be found.
So how does it run? Says Dave, "It runs like a MF--scary fast." It's lopey and loud, he says.
Says Dan, "When these pictures in front of the old Packard Plant came across my desk, I've got to admit, it made me smile. I wanted to drive that car--it just never happened. Life takes hold, the business took over, and it just sat there."
Dave and Dan have much more in common than the Ice Truck. Besides Dave finishing up the restoration of Dan's Milk Truck for a customer and storing Steve Estrin's Butcher Truck, which Dan originally built for Bob Reed in the mid-1970s, they both have plans for some unconventional rods. There's more to come from Dan and Dave, exhibiting that special mix of history, cars, and art for which they have a unique eye.
Owner contact info: dmshuten@aol.comDave ShutenDorr, MichiganIce Truck
ChassisDan custom-built the entire 106-inch wheelbase from 1x3-inch rectangular tubing in his parents' garage in 1967. The rearend is based on a Jaguar center section with axles, uprights, and locators all fabricated by Dan. The front suspension is tubular A-arms fabbed by Dan, originally sprung by a single buggy spring attached to MG spindles. In 1971, he changed it to what had become his signature frontend, utilizing coilovers laid on their sides in an "opposed coil" configuration. Airheart disc brakes were mounted front and rear. This was all restored by Shuten and chromed by Advanced Plating.
DrivetrainThe little Buick 215 was punched and stroked to 325ci and originally built by Mickey Thompson as one of two engines powering his twin-engine dragster from 1961. Dan purchased it from Mickey for $500 in 1967. It features some unique and rare Thompson parts, like the custom crank, aluminum rods, and pistons. The heads are aluminum with Cal Custom valve covers and the cam is a big-lobed solid roller. A 4-71 Cragar blower is mounted to a one-off M/T intake, with chrome 780 Holleys on a one-off Thompson-lettered tri-plate. Ignition is Vertex. Shuten made the headers to replicate Dan's originals. Transmission is a '62 Buick Dual-Path Turbine Drive two-speed automatic, with a manual shift body.
The body was designed by Ed "Newt" Newton in 1967 and created in late 1969 and 1970 by Roger Jonguris, Newt, and Dan in mahogany panels over ash beams pinned with wooden dowels, then fiberglassed, primed, and painted by Dan. It was restored to its 1970 configuration in a custom-mix Ice Blue pearl with diamond dust by Fritz Schenck, North Bellmore, New York, who also did the platinum lettering and assisted Shuten with 'striping. The white-fogged panels were the only deviation from the original 1970 version.
Dan built custom wire wheels as a side business for years so, naturally, these Buick Skylark wires are custom-made--15x12-inch fronts and 15x18-inch rears, both with 1-inch backspacing. Dan says he bought many a Skylark in the 1960s for scrap price, yanked the wire wheels, put on some rollers, and resold them for the same price! NOS Firestone Indy tires are 15x12-inch fronts and 15x18-inch rears. Finding the tires was the hardest part of the restoration, according to Shuten.
InteriorOriginally upholstered in light blue velour by Joe Perez, it was redone in the exact same style and material by John Meyer at Ogden Top and Trim in Chicago. Shuten recreated the smoked acrylic console, which was altered for its "Blood Alley" configuration.

Q: How to construct rectangular figures from the Fibonacci numbers? How do you construct rectangular figures ("golden rectangles") using the Fibonacci numbers in Mathematica using graphics? I know that the basis of the construction of these figures are the formulae for summing the terms, the odd-indexed terms, the even-indexed terms and the sum of the squares of the terms. I'm really confused on how to obtain the rectangular figures.

A: Inspired by Golden spiral in TiKZ: how do I get the right shape and background

    ]]], {{x, 5}, 1, 9}, {θ, .001, π/4}]

Using complex numbers

   ]], {{x, 5}, 1, 9}, {θ, .001, Pi/4}]

A: NestList[] is very handy for situations like this:

If you want to see the accompanying golden spiral as well:

We're back with another episode of Spring Neck-Breakers as the second week of Bash at the Beach hits the high seas with this episode taking place on Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Cruise! With last week doing such a great job of setting up some explosive confrontations, can they manage to pay it off here while ALSO making sure the guests have enough fresh towels!? Let's find out!!
First, let's take a moment to talk about the ring. They are in fact on a boat and fighting outdoors at night which looks pretty good all things considered! It certainly doesn't look like a typical stadium that these episodes usually take place in which gives things a nice bit of variety, and while the lighting is a bit harsh considering they can really only use a bunch of giant spotlights it does give it a very naturalistic feel while the shadows the wrestlers cast as they fight do look rather dynamic; giving it a hint of a noir feel to it. Needless to say that they have a solid stage set for the first match of the show which is…
Hangman Adam Page & Kenny Omega Vs. SCU (Kazarian & Scorpio Sky) – Tag Team Championship
SCU is accompanied to the ring by Christopher Daniels
I can't even remember; has SCU had a title defense since they got the belt? I'm SURE they had to have, but for the life of me I can't recall what it was. In fact, SCU's reign as tag team champions has felt a bit underwhelming as they haven't really have their own story line since their big win against The Lucha Brothers. Sure Christopher Daniels got a little something with that whole botched move thing and Scorpio Sky had his match against Jericho, but as a tag team they feel more like McGuffins for the other tag teams' stories rather than an integral and interesting part like how Jericho has been with the AEW Championship. Speaking of being McGuffins for other peoples' story, in case you didn't know (JR spells it out just in case you weren't paying attention) the big angle of this match is that Page and Omega have a shot at winning the title but only if they work together which is becoming less and less likely as Page sinks further into his heel persona and his straight up alcoholism. The match itself was fine but I really couldn't get into it and I'm not sure why. Both teams were solid and they told a decent story in the ring where the singles wrestlers have a bit of an advantage when going one on one but SCU takes full control when they get even a small amount of momentum. I guess it just goes on a bit too long as it feels like we're warming up for close to ten minutes, and it's not exactly the BEST showcase of either team even if they are doing a solid job. The big standout was probably Adam Page who is actually putting a real CHARACTER behind his in ring performance as you can see him grimacing every time he has to involve Kenny Omega and how he'd rather just take the beating along than work with him. It's a good character for the guy, but it feels like we should have really paid it off here instead of kicking the can down the road once again, which is as good an excuse as any to talk about the ending. Page has an impressive rally where he's throwing Buckshot Lariats at anything that will move, and he eventually pins someone for the win. That's right, SCU has lost the belts and now they're in the hands of Page and Omega. I don't know, I'd have rather SCU had a BETTER run instead of dropping it almost unceremoniously here, and I'm getting antsy to see Page truly betray Omega which if we keep postponing comes off as more and more inevitable and will surely make Omega look bad for not seeing it coming as well. Maybe they have different plans and I'll be glad to see how they play out in the coming weeks, but not my favorite opening match that they've done.

With the fallout of Full Gear fresh in our minds, this week's episode of Dynamite has a lot to live up to as well as a lot of storylines to start building back up. Will Cody live up to his word and not challenge for the AEW title again? Will MJF be able to explain himself for his betrayal of Cody? Will Jericho continue to be a smarmy jerk that we all love to hate? Hopefully the answer to all three is a HECK YES, but let's find out!!
Before our first match, we get an update on Kenny Omega who (in storyline; I'm pretty sure it's just a work) is not cleared for tonight's show due to the injuries he sustained in the Light's Out match he had with Jon Moxley at Full Gear. We also learn that Michael Nakazawa is a friend of his which is relevant because…
Jon Moxley Vs. Michael Nakazawa
You know a Nakazawa match is serious business when he foregoes the baby oil! Right off the bat he just tosses it away and starts coming after Moxley with everything he's got to avenge his bleeding buddy, but to no avail as Moxley makes short work of him in a match that barely goes on longer than a minute. I didn't mind it though! I like being showed that Nakazawa can have a serious side to him and it's important to make Moxely look as strong as possible if he's going to continue being a top guy in the company; neither of which requires a whole lot of time and is a refreshing change of pace for a promotion known for REALLY long matches. Besides, the real point of all this is to give Moxley the mic afterwards who proceeds to gloat as hard as he can and promise to destroy EVERYONE at AEW until the company itself is destroyed and he is the only one left remaining. He issues an open challenge to the locker room for anyone to take a shot at him which at this point may be just as prestigious a challenge as going for the title itself. Jon Moxley is THAT good at being pissed off, aggressive, and in complete control of his surrounds. Surprisingly the crowd is pretty mixed on the guy which is great because it shows that the audience is willing to play their part in the story because of how invested they are in the product. What's even MORE surprising though is that no one from the locker room takes him up on the offer which either means that everyone backstage is scared or that they want to drag this story out a bit more so we that fans can speculate on who would be the best person in the company to try and take Moxley down a peg. I prefer it if a show like this doesn't drag things out early on and this was a great start right off the bat!

Super Wrestling: AEW – Full Gear
Full Gear and all the images you see I this recap are owned by All Elite Wrestling and Shahid Khan
While technically being the fifth AEW PPV (sixth if you count All In which was basically AEW Zero), this is the first one since they've gotten the TV series and have started to focus more on long term storylines. Not only that, but it's coming off of a MASSIVE amount of success from Dynamite which has consistently beaten NXT in the ratings, so there's a lot of hype and high expectations surrounding this PPV which is always a double edged sword as it means more people are interested in seeing it but that they're also much more easy to disappoint. Can AEW continue their streak of high quality wrestling action with their latest PPV? Let's find out!!
Britt Baker Vs. Bea Priestly
The only match they had on the pre-show for Full Gear was this match against Britt Baker and Bea Priestly which I GUESS is supposed to be the blow off to a feud, but they never HAD a feud to begin with. They had one match all the way back before they got on TV and I think they were on a tag team match a few weeks ago, but at no point did they interact in any meaningful way to sell this supposed rivalry between them. There's a video package before the fight where Britt talks smack about Priestly and I just don't think it works because Britt brings up stuff we'd NEVER heard of until now about her being possibly injured in the Fight for the Fallen match and it's also completely one sided as Priestly doesn't even show up in the video, so for all we know she's just out there doing her thing and being respectful towards everyone while Britt is off to the side seething for no good reason! Now all that having been said, when the two of them actually DO get in the ring they are fighting like this match means something. Britt is definitely all scowls and fury which is a far cry from the babyface she often portrays, and Priestly is definitely relishing just how much she's gotten under her skin. The moves as well are less coordinated and flashy as they are just slugfests and pain clinics which is how you definitely want to pay off a feud even if this particular one still didn't feel properly set up.

We're back with another episode of WWE's worst nightmare! Well… that and the string of awful press it's been getting in the last few months. Seriously, WWE 2K20 AND the talent being stranded in Saudi Arabia within like a week of each other!? I wouldn't be surprised if Full Sail got attacked by zombies which STILL wouldn't put NXT's ratings above AEW's! With such an amazing string of good fortune on the side of the new guys just as the mighty king is getting repeatedly kicked in the nuts, can AEW keep up the momentum heading into this weekend's Pay Per View show? Let's find out!!
Trent Beretta Vs. Pac
Trent Beretta is accompanied to the ring by his tag team partner Chuck Taylor as well as Orange Cassidy
We start things off right away with a match between Pac and whatever piece of meat just so happens to be in his way. Sadly the poor bastard left to get eaten by this monster is Trent from The Best Friends who is certainly… a member of that team. Well that's a bit unfair I guess. The duo is certainly way over with the crowd even if I haven't been too impressed with them so far, but Pac's the one with the big Adam Page match at the PPV and Trent is the dude who dressed as Morty last week so we can all see where this is going. The match was fine and had its brutal moments to it, but I'm more of an in-ring fast paced guy than an outside the ring pain clinic, and that was much more the speed here even with Pac doing an impressive dive over the top ropes. I guess the Adam Page match from last week worked a lot better for me, and a good chunk of it has to do with the Sammy who is much more interesting playing a losing heel than Trent does being a losing… guy I guess. Are the Best Friends even faces? I guess so considering they get the crowd reactions and they do have that hug gimmick, but it just felt a bit bland to me; especially considering that the match goes on WAY too long when Pac really should get an easy one and done match to build his momentum for the big show. But hey! At least Orange Cassidy got his moment to do his thing which led to Pac straight up MURDERING him with a kick to the face which REALLY stirred up the crowd! Trent starts to rally after Pac lands the Orange Cassidy Super Kick, but it doesn't take long for Pac to regain control and finally incapacitates Trent with the Brutalizer submission. After the match Pac grabs the mic and gives his own promo which was solid, but wasn't really shooting for the moon here as both Jon Moxley and Adam Page gave better ones last week.

Leben
Georg Karl von Sutner war ein Sohn des Corbinian Sutner, Bortenmacher.

Nach seinem Studium der Rechte an der Universität Ingolstadt erhielt er dort am 21. Juli 1785 das Diplom als graduierter Lizentiat der Rechte, anschließend erwarb er praktisches Wissen am kurfürstlichen Landgericht Dachau.

Summer. . . Beach. . . Being outside. . . Tranquility. . .
I was thinking the other day, as I took down my Easter Decorations , why don't we decorate for summer? I mean. . . I guess by packing away all the holiday decorations it is a sort of decorating. Decorating by undecorating, I suppose.
But as I got closer to having the decorations from my favorite holiday put away, the more excited I got about the Summer Holiday themed decorating that was brewing. I went to my 'stash' shelves and got busy. . .
In the past post-Easter 'undecorating' routines, it simply meant to take down the holiday-themed treasures, some Spring cleaning and *done.* But this year, I took it a step further, invested in a few new 'thises and thatses' and focused on the Summer Holiday with a rather beachy theme like my favorite room of our home, the Guest Room.
It was exceptionally fun as I had a new large piece of furniture which was delivered shortly before Easter. Though it had been decorated with Easter Treasures, it had yet to really show off my 'real' (everyday) trinkets and larger display pieces like my antique hand-carved horse toy and wicker laundry basket as well as a (one of my many) bird cage, and over-sized candle hurricane set atop a pedestal.
What was truly extraordinary, as I went along, was how much my every day vases, candle holders, decorations, were fitting in with my Summer Holiday theme. Awesome!! I especially love the bottles in the flexible metal stands (the far, larger, serpentine bottles were left empty, while the closer, smaller 'test tube' bottles have actual beach sand and seashells in them) and the 'beehive' metal and glass bell jar / cloche.
The cream of seashells and palest tan of sand combine beautifully with the blue of robin eggs which all plays off the deep brown metal accents and clear glass containers.
The buffet in the dining room lent itself nicely to my summer decorating style.
Cream and white, robin's egg blue, sea green, rustic brown metals. . . birds, fish (that fish plate is the largest of three in the most awesome sea blue-green color I've ever seen), eggs, seashells. . . a very nature-inspired summer at the lake house kind of feel.
The more I moved things around, the more theme-focused treasures I found in my collections like these salt and peppers displayed as my dining room table centerpiece on a trio of wooden cake plates that were found at Terry's Flower & Gift Shop in Humboldt, KS.
And how about these candle holders (they've been a part of my treasures for many years now and just seem to fit in no matter how I'm decorating. a *superb* Pier One find!!) with their creamy candles, and bright blue candle rings from Winfield House in Lawrence, KS. I especially like the seashells around them.
The cocktail table in the living room with these great metal candle urns filled with bright blue 'sandy beach' candles and the metal mesh 'box' (filled with seashells, robin eggs, and rafia) stacked behind it. . . This Summer Holiday theme is taking over!
And on the window ledge. . .
No more undecorating for me! We're celebrating Summer as a holiday - like an extended beach vacation in our landlocked house.

Adams v. Superior Court
Adams v. Superior Court , 49 Cal.2d 427
[L. A. No. 24621. In Bank. Nov. 22, 1957.]
VIRGINIA BAKER ADAMS, Petitioner, v. SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Respondent; HELEN JORDAN BAKER, Real Party in Interest.
B. H. Findlay, Stuart S. Hillman and George I. Devor for Petitioner.
No appearance for Respondent.
John Lewis King and Stanley Mussell, Jr., for Real Party in Interest.
SHENK, J.
This is an application for a writ of mandate to compel the respondent superior court, in a proceeding to revoke the probate of the will of Herman R. Baker, to permit the contestant to inspect certain "day books" or diaries kept by the testator. An alternative writ was issued.
The testator, during his lifetime, was engaged in the practice of dentistry in Upland, California. From 1952 until his death in 1955 he kept so-called day books or diaries. Entries were made in those books by the testator and by his assistants. The contestant, the petitioner herein, sought an order from the respondent court to require the executrix to produce those books for inspection to assist in the determination of the decedent's testamentary capacity.
An affidavit was executed on behalf of the executrix by Alberta Burge, a former assistant of the decedent, who made entries in the books in 1955. The affidavit stated that the day books contained entries in the hand of the decedent, but that the entries "... are substantially in the handwriting of others or herself." It further stated that "... many entries are privileged communications, inseparably interwoven with the names of patients in that they indicate treatment. That under the circumstances the entire appointment book or books are confidential and privileged."
The superior court made the following order: "Motion for inspection of the dental appointment books will be granted to the extent that Contestant may examine any entries in the appointment books for 1953 and 1954 made by Herman R. Baker himself.
"If more practical, the Executrix may, in lieu of the above, supply Contestant with photostatic copies of such pages as have any such entries thereon, after blocking out other entries and the Executrix may also block out names of any patients used, provided that initials or fictitious names be substituted for each such patient preserving thereby the identity of each such patient." The validity of the foregoing order insofar [49 Cal.2d 430] as it grants inspection for the years 1953 and 1954 is not here involved.
It will be observed that the petitioner was denied access to the day books for the years 1952 and 1955 and that it was left to the executrix to select and copy the entries made by the decedent. The will was executed in November of 1953. The entries embraced in the order therefore relate only to the year of the execution of the will and the year following.
The petitioner proceeded under Code of Civil Procedure, section 1000. fn. 1 That section provides in its pertinent part: "Any court in which an action is pending, or a judge thereof may, upon notice, order either party to give to the other, within a specified time, an inspection and copy or permission to take a copy, of entries of accounts in any book, or of any document or paper in his possession, or under his control, containing evidence relating to the merits of the action, or the defense therein." The petitioner contends that if she is not permitted to inspect the books, and there is an adverse judgment in the trial court, the refusal to permit her to inspect all of the books will be raised by her on appeal and a reversal of the judgment based on the erroneous order would require her to incur the delay and expense of another trial. She contends that such a result would be inconsistent with the holdings of this court in Union Trust Co. v. Superior Court, 11 Cal.2d 449 [81 P.2d 150, 118 A.L.R. 259], and McClatchy Newspapers v. Superior Court, 26 Cal.2d 386 [159 P.2d 944].
[1] The trial court exercises judicial discretion in acting upon a motion to require the production of books, documents, or papers for inspection by an adverse party. (Union Trust Co. v. Superior Court, supra, 11 Cal.2d 449; Construction Products Corp. v. Superior Court, 103 Cal.App.2d 403 [229 P.2d 399]; McKinley v. Southern Pac. Co., 80 Cal.App.2d 301 [181 P.2d 899].) [2] An order permitting inspection is not appealable. (Holm v. Superior Court, 42 Cal.2d 500 [267 P.2d 1025, 268 P.2d 722]; Collins v. Corse, 8 Cal.2d 123 [64 P.2d 137].) [3] Mandamus has been held applicable to redress abuses of discretion in ordering the production of records for inspection (Shell Oil Co. v. Superior Court, 109 Cal.App. 75 [292 P. 531]), and in denying an application for inspection. (Dowell v. Superior Court, 47 Cal.2d 483 [304 P.2d 1009].) In such cases, the inquiry is whether the [49 Cal.2d 431] order constituted an abuse of discretion. (Dowell v. Superior Court, supra, 47 Cal.2d 483; Construction Products Corp. v. Superior Court, supra, 103 Cal.App.2d 403; Shell Oil Co. v. Superior Court, supra, 109 Cal.App. 75.)
[4] In Union Trust Co. v. Superior Court, supra, 11 Cal.2d 449, this court stated at page 454, that to support an order for the inspection of books or records, "... two separate, indispensable requirements must be made to appear: (1) that the books, or the paper, or the document that is sought to be inspected contains evidence that is material to an issue which is involved in the action or the proceeding with relation to which the order is proposed to be made; and (2) that the order by which such inspection may be authorized be so specific in its terms with reference to its designation or description of such book, paper, or document that it may be readily identified." [5] Unlike the taking of a deposition, an order requiring the production of books, papers, or records is subject to the limitation that the inspection sought must not be so broad as to infringe upon the constitutional immunity against unlawful search and seizure. (McClatchy Newspapers v. Superior Court, supra, 26 Cal.2d 386, 396.)
The present case necessitates an examination of those requirements to determine whether the order here challenged will be allowed to stand.
The affidavit in support of the motion for inspection states: "Affiant is of the opinion that an examination of said appointment books is vitally necessary in the proof of the contestant's case to determine the competency or incompetency of said decedent to execute a will on or about November 9, 1953, in that said appointment books will determine whether or not said decedent regularly practiced his profession in the years involved and it will determine whether the persons who received treatment received proper and adequate treatment and whether said decedent was mentally capable of practicing his profession during said period of time."
[6] If the sole purpose of the inspection were to determine the regularity of the decedent's practice, the affidavit would not meet the first requirement stated in the Union Trust case for the reason that the "regular" pursuit of a profession is not material to the determination of testamentary incapacity. The affiant also states that an inspection will determine whether the decedent administered proper and adequate treatment to his patients and whether he was mentally capable of [49 Cal.2d 432] practicing his profession at that time. [7] The court reiterated the elements of testamentary capacity in Estate of Smith, 200 Cal. 152 where it was said at page 158 [252 P. 325]: "A testator is of sound and disposing mind and memory if, at the time of making his will, he has sufficient mental capacity to be able to understand the nature of the act he is doing, and to understand and recollect the nature and situation of his property and to remember, and understand his relations to, the persons who have claims upon his bounty and whose interests are affected by the provisions of the instrument." The contestant has failed to make a sufficient showing that the evidence sought is either material or relevant to the proof necessary to entitle her to the relief sought.
[8] The books are not sought for the purpose of showing that in any particular case the decedent rendered inadequate professional service. The contestant seeks to explore the day books for the purpose of extracting therefrom instances in which the decedent so fell below the standards of professional competence in the treatment of his patients that it could be inferred that he lacked testamentary capacity. It is not averred that the testator at any time failed to render adequate treatment to any patient in his care. Moreover, even if the contestant were successful in demonstrating the decedent's professional incompetence, it would not follow that the testator lacked the capacity to execute a valid will at the time it was executed. (Rollins v. Smith, 72 Cal.App. 773 [238 P. 171].)
The search which the petitioner proposes to make is analogous to that disapproved in Shell Oil Co. v. Superior Court, supra, 109 Cal.App. 75, where the plaintiff, in an action to recover damages for the breach of covenants in an oil and gas lease, moved for an order requiring the production of numerous records from the defendant Shell Oil Company. It was averred by the plaintiff that the records would "tend to prove" his case and would show "whether or not" his allegations were well founded. The District Court of Appeal there issued a writ of mandate to restrain the respondent court from ordering the wholesale production of records by the defendant on the ground that such order would constitute an unlawful search and seizure. The court emphasized that the affiant sought the records not because they were known by him to contain evidence material to the proof of his case, but in the hope that an inspection would yield evidence to support his claims. [49 Cal.2d 433]
[9] As stated in Austin v. Turrentine, 30 Cal.App.2d 750, at page 761 [87 P.2d 72, 88 P.2d 178]: "Nor will a mere suspicion that they [books or papers] contain material evidence warrant an order for their production. The court has no power to order the production of books or papers by one party to be used as evidence for the other party without an affirmative and substantial showing by affidavit or otherwise that they contain evidence material to the cause of action or defense of the party requiring them."
The necessity of showing that books or records contain material evidence as a foundation for an order for inspection was stated in McClatchy Newspapers v. Superior Court, supra, 26 Cal.2d 386, which arose out of an action for damages for an alleged libel. This court denied the petitioner's application for a writ of mandate to require the plaintiff to produce records from which the defendant sought facts to show the truth of the publication. It was there said at page 398: "It may be admitted that ... some of the records and documents would probably show those ultimate facts, but it cannot be said that they must necessarily show such facts or any of them, nor can it be said, on the basis of defendant's affidavit, that their relevancy and materiality clearly appear. Although it would be unjust to permit plaintiff to recover for an alleged libel by suppressing or withholding evidence which is material or vital to the action, defendant must first show the materiality of the desired evidence and cannot obtain permission to search through all of plaintiff's papers and records merely in the hope or expectation that the investigation will disclose favorable information." This court concluded that by an examination of the plaintiff on deposition the identity and contents of those papers and their materiality and relevancy could be determined so that an affidavit could be framed sufficient to obtain an order for inspection. (See also Funkenstein v. Superior Court, 23 Cal.App. 663, 667 [139 P. 101]; Harkelroad, The Law of Discovery in the Courts of California, 4 So.Cal.L.Rev. (1931) 169, 181, 186, 187.)
[10] The contestant contends that the Union Trust case, supra, 11 Cal.2d 449, requires that the rules regulating the inspection of writings be liberally construed to permit full inspection. What was said in the McClatchy case as to the same contention has equal force here. It was there said at pages 396, 397 [26 Cal.2d); "Petitioner contends that under the decision in Union Trust Co. v. Superior Court, 11 Cal.2d 449 [81 P.2d 150, 118 A.L.R. 259], these rules must be [49 Cal.2d 434] liberally applied and that it has met the requirements there imposed. In that case after an exhaustive examination of the history and development of discovery, the court stated that 'the trend of judicial decisions is to relax the rules which relate to the taking of evidence by ancillary proceedings, of which the inspection of documents is one method, to the end that the trial of actions may be expedited and justice be more efficaciously and speedily administered.' (11 Cal.2d at p. 462.) The relaxation of the rule, however, does not mean an abolition of the requirements that the papers be identified and that they be shown to be relevant and material."
It appears from a review of the record and the foregoing authorities that the contestant's affidavit was insufficient to require production of the books for 1952 and 1955. There was therefore no abuse of discretion in denying the inspection of the books for those years.
The alternative writ is discharged and the peremptory writ is denied.

MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2016 isn't the first bit of video editing software I've used, as a regular YouTuber I am often editing videos in PowerDirector 14 and so I was very keen to see how this compares.
If you've used editing software before you'll initially have a familiar interface greet you with the standard 3 panel layout. There are two panels at the top, one for reviewing footage, the other for selecting items and a menu system.
The bottom panel run across the screen and gives you a timeline. A nice touch is that this can be configured to show your project in a number of different views, including a slide view that allows you to move clips around very easily.
I was initially a little confused by the menu system. This could be because I've used other software for years, but I get the feeling this isn't the easiest to use bit of software, it's not very intuitive.
A great example of this is when exporting video, you select the format you want to export to and the software estimates how large the file will be…in kilobytes! I've no idea why anyone would find this useful, it should automatically adjust to more appropriate units, so 10.5 MB or 1.5 GB. A minor niggle but one that's really annoying.
However, I stuck with it and have grown to like it more than I initially did. There are some areas where it's miles better than PowerDirector, for example the titles and overlays are far more professional looking.
There is also a fun little travel map generator, useful when doing a travel blog to add a little animation of you travelling from A to B.
The image stabilisation also works well and I've used it on a lot of hand held footage rather than action footage to provide a far smoother experience.
There are absolutely loads of effects, wipes and other features to get stuck into and it's going to take some time to full get the hang of them, fortunately I've found a lot of help available online.
A feature I really like is the collage feature, select a set number of photos/videos and apply the collage template and it applies a collage in your project. I've used these in a recent video I've done for YouTube and the results look really good, like something from a film.
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium is the type of software that offers a lot of power and functionality, but also requires you to be patient and willing to deal with a a learning curve steeper than available alternatives.
I've used this on a number of videos over the last few months and while I've gotten a good handle on many of the functions it feels like I'm potentially only scratching the surface of what this software can do.
Well worth considering if you want a powerful video editor for a fraction of the price the big names sell for.
The complete solution for video creation and production.
Full 4K/HD support for camcorders and action cams.
Over 1,000 templates for effects, menus and music.

Ferruginous pochard
Aythya nyroca , Johann Anton Güldenstädt, 1770
(In Thai: เป็ดดำหัวสีน้ำตาล)
The ferruginous duck, also ferruginous pochard, common white-eye or white-eyed pochard (Aythya nyroca) is a medium-sized diving duck from Eurosiberia. The scientific name is derived from Greek aithuia an unidentified seabird mentioned by authors including Hesychius and Aristotle, and nyrok, the Russian name for a duck.
The breeding male is a rich, dark chestnut on the head, breast and flanks with contrasting pure white undertail coverts. In flight the white belly and underwing patch are visible. The females are duller and browner than the males. The male has a yellow eye and the females have a dark eye.
The ferruginous duck prefers quite shallow fresh waterbodies with rich submerged and floating vegetation with dense stands of emergent vegetation on the margins. In some areas it will use saline or brackish pools or wetlands. On passage and wintering will also frequent coastal waters, inland seas and large, open lagoons.
The breeding range of the ferruginous duck is from Iberia and the Maghreb east to western Mongolia, south to Arabia, although in the west is now scarce and localised and locally extirpated in some countries. The duck winters throughout the Mediterranean Basin and the Black Sea, smaller number migrate into sub-Saharan Africa via the Nile Valley. Eastern birds winter in south and south-east Asia.
These are gregarious birds, but less social than other Aythya species but where common it can form large flocks in winter, often mixed with other diving ducks, such as tufted ducks and common pochards. Forms pairs from January onwards and during courtship the male often curls his tail so that it dips into the water forming a triangular white patch of the undertail coverts. In areas where it is common it will form colonies at protected sites such as islands, often in association with gulls. Where scarce it nests singly, in dispersed and concealed sites.
Eggs are laid from the end of April or early May in a nest which is sited on the ground close to water, or sometimes a floating nest is built among emergent vegetation. The eggs are incubated for 25–27 days and the fledging period is 55–60 days.
These birds feed mainly by diving or dabbling. They eat aquatic plants with some molluscs, aquatic insects and small fish. They often feed at night, and will upend (dabble) for food as well as the more characteristic diving.
The species is threatened by the degradation and destruction of its favoured habitats by anthropogenic causes which are very wide and varied including impoundment, drainage, pollution and mismanagement. The introduction of non-native species has also caused habitat degradation, e.g. the stocking of lakes with and accidental introduction of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella has caused reductions in plant and animal biomass available for the ducks to feed on. In addition, the increased threat of drought due to climate change may pose a threat to the species in the drier parts of its range. Increased disturbance by fishing boats and anglers among marginal vegetation could cause abandonment of the breeding sites or disrupt the timing of breeding particularly in populated areas, e.g. western Europe. Ferruginous ducks are also threatened by hunting and large numbers are shot on passage in the autumn and in the wintering areas. Although protected in most European countries illegal and accidental hunting persists. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies. Among recent local initiatives it should be mentioned inclusion of the breeding habitats of the species in Armenia into network of Emerald Sites protected by the Bern Convention.
