Here is a note that I received from Hubert Spala from UK/Polish company, Rombo Games.
This is a game in ongoing development process at the moment, however on our webpage you can see more about how the game is going to look and feel. It is a family board game with mobile app (hybrid game) designed for 2-6 players from 8 years old up. It is simple enough for kids to grasp it but offers enough competitive challenge for adults as well.
Publish or Perish is a deduction game where you have to discover the secret properties of the subatomic particles (called hypersymmetry). In order to do so you have to clash particles against each other in the collider and observe the results. After few smart experiments you will be able to deduct the secret properties of some of the particles and trying to build a solid publication paper that will give you a lot of points.
Long story short, we capture the essence of the publish or perish motto. As a scientist you need to struggle with the decision of continuing your research and risk that other person will be faster than you or publish your findings to be safe but waste the opportunity of more discoveries.
7/18/2015 – San Francisco, CA – At GenCon 2015, Overworld Games will be releasing two additions to their line of hidden identity and deduction games with New Salem and Good Cop Bad Cop: Bombers and Traitors while demo’ing a third one that will be hitting Kickstarter right afterwards called Booze Barons. Booth: #2836.
New Salem ($34.99) is the next great social deduction game about Witches and Puritans attempting to escape the horror of the Salem Witch Trials that plays in under 45 minutes for 3-8 players. Drafting allows you and everyone around the table to play at the same time as you gain clues about who may be a witch. Then you put your “Hope” in the right players so you can put the witches on trial before the end of the game. It gives you a taste of what it may have felt like to be a participant in the Salem Witch Trials where you can expect to say “YOU’RE A WITCH!” more than once during the game. Whether you’re an honest puritan or secretly a witch, you’ll constantly be faced with a decision of whether to help your team or play selfishly. The art by Andrea Olgiati (Winter Tales) will make it a contender for Best Art of 2015. Check out the Press Kit for it or the How to Play Video by one of the designers.
The nominee for the Dice Tower’s Best Party Game of 2014, Good Cop Bad Cop, will be getting a new expansion at GenCon called Bombers and Traitors ($14.99). It adds in more equipment, two new roles (the Bomber and the Traitor), and expands it to 3-8 players. It’s the same Good Cop Bad Cop fun where you unravel the mystery of who is on your team and point guns at your friends, but the expansion also adds more opportunities for deduction and deception.
Just after GenCon on August 24th, the third game in this line, Booze Barons, will be hitting Kickstarter (preview link). This one takes place during the time of US Prohibition where you’re secretly bootlegging a specific type of booze as you try to make your mob the richest mob in town. There are always 3 teams (mobs) in the game so you’ll have to deduce who is on your team by the deliveries they make to the speakeasies around town. You can be confident in the pedigree of this game as it has been refined during playtesting at Protospiel Milwaukee, Protospiel Austin, Protospiel Houston, Protospiel San Jose, and Unpub 5.
Currently available for pre-order only. (Est. ship date, 30 July).
Icarus players draw one card each from seven different-colored decks and must bid an amount of one of those colors which they believe is less than the sum of every player’s card in that color. At some point bids, which must increase with each player, will reach so high that they are challenged! With a handy game mat and additional play variations included from the developers at Victory Point Games, we’re sure that Icarus will find a happy landing among your gaming group!

The Napoleonic 20 Series features games of only modest complexity, each with a focused scope and low unit density (typically fewer than twenty pieces per side). The dramatic, fast-playing turns feature compelling historical narrative told through random event cards and the exciting ebb and flow of military units maneuvering and engaging in battle on the map. Replete with the surges, lulls, and “friction of war” that gives a great feel for the parry-and-thrust of a Napoleonic grade battle as armies close to bayonet-point to see which will break first!
Jack Gill’s Tolentino 20 focuses on battle of 2 and 3 May 1815 which occurred in central Italy during the period of the “Hundred Days” of Napoleon’s brief restoration to the French throne. Murat’s early gains were soon forfeit against the two advancing Austrian corps, but these two corps become separated by the Apennine Mountains. Like Napoleon’s Waterloo campaign, Murat hoped to defeat each corps in turn before they could reunite. One player commands the Neapolitan army under King Joachim Murat; the other player commands the Austrian army under Feldmarschall-Leutnant Freidrich Baron Bianchi.
Waterloo 20, 3rd Edition from Joseph Miranda is a game based on the Waterloo campaign of 15-18 June 1815. One player commands the French army, taking the role of the returning Emperor Napoleon. The other player assumes both the roles of Wellington for the Anglo-Dutch forces, and Blücher for the Prussian forces, respectively. Two months after returning to France, Napoleon had an army of 280,000 men and was mobilizing half as many again for the next two months, but he was set upon by Allied coalition armies of nearly 1,000,000 soldiers who were preparing to move against France. The British (110,000 men) and Prussians (120,000 men) were closest, in Belgium, and Napoleon struck first before their numbers could be combined against him. With speed and surprise, he invaded Belgium with fully 125,000 men in a bid to defeat each of these armies in turn before they could unite.

Res Publica returns with a revised version: Res Publica:2230AD and this time ravels in future, where races migrate through Space searching for new areas in which to settle. Intensive trading brings together strong Races, encourages new settlements and promotes the development of civilization.
Each turn is divided in three different phases: Trade, Display and Draw cards. Each player at his turn can make a trade offer and each player in turn responds in kind. Using the cards through trading and drawing players work to acquire five identical race cards in order to build a Space Station (which increases the number of cards you can draw each turn) or five identical technology cards in order to build a City (which gives Victory Points).
Aside the set collection and trading mechanics, you will discover some extra cards in the game. New buildings with different abilities that either allow you to build a City displaying four technology cards, or give you extra Victory Points. At the end of the game, players total the points collected and the highest score wins.

Will Swift implement SMB/SMB2 Protocols?
Because being able to call a Swift account as a Windows share would be awesome. Sorry if this has already been stated in the documentation somewhere.
There aren't plans to add SMB support currently, but we aren't opposed to adding that support. In fact, we've talked about supporting the WebDAV protocol. Currently, this is a low priority, but, as always, patches are welcome.
I guess I should clarify: swift is not a block store, so we can't add anything that requires block semantics. If SMB requires block-level access, we can't support it. WebDAV, since it's implemented over HTTP, could be possible, but, again, it's low priority.

In 2014, Liquid Telecom announced plans to connect the 47 counties in Kenya with fiber optic at a cost of Kshs. 4.4 Billion. The company further unveiled an ambitious plan seeking to invest Kshs. 8.5 Billion into establishing a fiber optic network along the Lamu Port-Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (Lapsset) routes.
In February, Liquid announced it had managed to connect 39 of the 47 following the completion of a 21 kilometer fibre network in the Garissa County. The county has now added one more county with the completion of fibre network in Homa Bay county at a cost of Kshs. 123 Million. The connection also includes a 15km, point-to-point network connecting the Homa Bay County government and corporate organizations with some 20 corporate customers including Post Bank and Barclays Bank already connected.
The county government says it plans to use the internet to roll-out e-government services as well as update and store population data online. The project marked the first phase of the project, in which the county headquarters and 10 county ministries were connected to the Internet. The second phase of the project will connect eight sub-counties and forty ward offices within the County. Liquid Telecom recently announced plans to offer free wifi hotspots to allow more users to access the internet with Kshs. 100 Million earmarked for this project. There are currently 200 existing free hotspots in Nairobi,Nakuru, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Kajiado, and Nyeri with plans to roll out to other counties.

(Toronto) – On World AIDS Day, December 1, 2013, Human Rights Watch and the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network will honor Alternatives-Cameroun and the Grandmothers Advocacy Network (GRAN) with the 2013 Award for Action on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights. This is the 12th year that the two nongovernmental organizations have jointly presented awards to individuals or groups for their work on human rights in the fight against HIV.
The international award recipient, Alternatives-Cameroun, founded in 2006, is internationally recognized for its work on HIV and access to medical services, information and education, especially for sexual minorities. In the past several years Cameroon has experienced a wave of violence targeting people because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or their activism on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people. In July, Eric Ohena Lembembe, the executive director of the Cameroonian Foundation for AIDS, was brutally assaulted and killed. Police investigations have failed to identify a suspect in the murder.
The Canadian recipient of the award, GRAN, established in 2006, consists of volunteer grandmothers and “grand-others,” who work in solidarity with the grandmothers of Africa and the children in their care who have been orphaned by AIDS.The organization conducts advocacy with the Canadian government and works to expand Canadian and international support for AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and support in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Marilyn Coolen, co-chair of GRAN, said that the award was important for the December 2014 meeting of donor countries in Washington, DC, on replenishing the Global Fund. Canada was a founding member of the Global Fund, and has donated C$150 million to the fund over the past three years, but has not yet made any future pledge of support.

Issues In Aging radio show discussed issues related to healthy aging with Robin Hawks, Joyce Nussbaum, and Sharon Strang.
Robin Hawks, Blue Ridge Community College, discussed the Aging in Place program which began this fall. The certificate program is designed to help students better understand the needs of older adults from multiple aspects (communication, financial needs, community resources, etc.). She described most of the students as being “non-traditional” (over 25 years old). Some are retired and looking for a fulfilling way to supplement their retirement income and some are professionals that want to target their services to baby boomers. She shared that one student is employed by a larger local company wanting to better serve their older employees as they transition into retirement.
Blue Ridge Community College is hosting an Aging in Place fair on November 16, 10 am to 2 pm at the Plecker Workforce Center. Over 30 exhibitors will be attending the event. The fair is free and open to the general public, however exhibits are geared to baby boomers and caregivers. Beth Bland, RD HR, and Kathryn Coit, Outreach Specialist, are scheduled to have a VPAS exhibit at the fair.
The Aging in Place interview provided a nice transition into the second half of the show which focused on Chronic Disease Self Management Education (CDSME). Joyce Nussbaum, cdsme Coordinator, and Sharon Strang, JMU Dept. of Nursing, described the program, gave examples of likely workshop candidates, and shared success stories of past participants. Upcoming workshop dates where also announced. Discussion also revolved around the importance of taking a proactive approach to health and managing health problems.
cdsme provides tools to cope with a chronic condition and support to replace unhealthy habits with more healthy lifestyle choices.

While milk tea is considered a popular drink across some Asian countries, the knowledge of most people regarding the drink is still considered limited. Unlike tea or coffee, there is just limited information when it comes to the milk tea drink. Perhaps it’s because the drink has only experienced popularity just recently, or that it has a lesser consumer count when compared to the other staple drinks.
Regardless, here are some interesting milk tea facts you may not have heard before!
For a lot of people, they consider the tapioca pearls as the marker of a good bubble tea place. Everyone has varied preference when it comes to these pearls; some like them chewy and soft, instantly melting in their mouths, while others like to enjoy taking their time in chewing. Good tapioca pearls are somewhere in between. They are chewy enough not to hurt your teeth, but they don’t also break down only after two bites. Quality tapioca pearls are ensured to be neither stale nor overcooked.
There’s a reason why bubble tea isn’t advised for young children. The toppings in milk tea may become a choking hazard for a child (aged 4 years old and below), especially if he/she didn’t chew the pearls properly. Take note of the generous amount of pearl each drink has!
Children aren’t solely the likely victims of choking from milk tea, though. First timers may also suffer from choking, especially if they aren’t used to having their tea with bits of tapioca pearls in it.
Avid milk tea drinkers know that there are times the tea leaks out the top after merely banging the straw against the plastic covering. However, after a series of trial and error, there has been discovered a hack in flawlessly putting the straw in your drink. The thumb must be put atop the straw to create an airtight seal, before stabbing it straight down your drink. The tea is less likely to spill that way!
Surprise! If you thought your favorite milk tea is made with fresh milk, there is a likely chance you may be wrong. Milk tea is commonly made with powdered creamer, as is observed in some Asian countries like Taiwan (which is the bubble tea’s birthplace itself). However, in order to cater to the preference of the public, various milk tea shops have customized their menus to give their customers a chance to pick if they want milk tea or a fresh milk tea. Undoubtedly, fresh milk tea is said to taste a whole lot better!

Variations on "O Little Town of Bethlehem"
"I place Keith Emerson side by side with giants like Paul McCartney, Miles Davies, Tom Jobim and Cole Porter. It is a shame is work is not known as it should be. Anyway, this is a good opportunity to become acquainted with one of the most creative, daring and coherent artist of our times. "Glorietta" and "I Saw Three Ships" are small masterpieces and show very eloquntly Keith's prowess both in synthesizers and the Grand Piano. It is time for the big labels to start editing some of the solo materials of this giant."
"From the fingers that fused 'Tarkus'; from the mind that molded maniacal music with keyboard molestations; from the honky who helped heave huge pianos end over end... comes one of the most creative Christmas albums of all time. There are incredible arrangements included within this collection as well as stellar performances from the premiere key-meister of our time. The album closes with the most soulful version of 'Silent Night' that you will ever hear. Keith has been called every name in the book from genius to prodigy to legend. Listen to this album, though and get lost in the inherent soulfulness of the season. Then call Emerson the bringer of peace-filled tidings. Happy Christmas, Keith (in the middle of July) and thank you for your gift."
"May sound a bit strange to some as its not just another sweet Christmas Pudding! This is a gem of improvisations on familiar tunes - as well as new ones! For all lovers of sparkling mixes of rock and jazz and electronics!"
"This cd is excellent, imaginative, one that will satisfy you all year long. For Keith Emerson fans a must! Keith, we want...more!"
"I've been an Emerson fan since 1971 and this just might be my favorite album of his entire career. It's that good. The initial release was shorter than this reissue; it lacked the Prokofiev and the "Gloriettas". One way or the other, Keith's CHRISTMAS ALBUM is a perfect mix of carols, classics and original compositions done with exquisite taste and extraordinary virtuosity.
"Troika" - Prokofiev's little 3rd movement (depicting a three-horse sleigh ride) from the Lieutenant Kije Suite. A joyous frolic. The classical opening is very true to the spirit of the original. Morphs into an energetic mix of synth, piano, wailing guitar, drums and... whistling.
"O Little Town of Bethlehem" - The British rather than the American melody, I didn't recognize this at first. Beautiful synth chorus and drum machine leads to a piano improv over a pedal tone bass. Very dignified, it would sound right at home on TRILOGY.
"We Three Kings of Orient Are" - Energetic and slightly humorous, a pronounced rhythmic groove sets up the synth chorus of the first two verses. A bridge leads into a bit of J.S. Bach a la "Knife Edge". More loose piano improv fades out over the same groove.
"Snowman's Land" - Emerson original piano/synth. Only Keith could have done this. Exhuberant all the way through but for the chorus's rather dark and imposing finale made up of quartals. Sounds like from TARKUS or TRILOGY to me.
"Aria" - more Bach and done very faithfully to the original, in fact one of the most truly classical-in-spirit numbers of Keith's recording career. Except for the improvisitory synth overlay during the final verse (a la "Abaddon's Bolero"), it's just all Bach. Gorgeous!
"I Saw Three Ships" - This one is akin to the ELP take on Copland's "Fanfare to the Common Man" from WORKS. The rhythm section's very insistant opening groove severely constricts the melody. It's effective but sounds very mechanical throughout, only occasionally opening up.
"Gloriettas 1 and 2" - The 1st is a passionate hymn on synths. The 2nd is a Scottish-style military march reminiscent of the theme from BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI or Emo's own march from 1978's "Officer and a Gentleman". It's in A-B-A form - the B section recalls but does not copy the Glorietta 1. The feeling is deeply prideful and utterly beautiful. I'm not sure what it has to do with Christmas, but it's a lovely complement to the "Troika".
"Petites Litanies de Jesus" - A very sweet and gentle new agey piece, it sounds to me reminiscent of parts of Mark Isham's VAPOR DRAWINGS (1983) on Windham Hill. Synth and organ without percussion other than what seems to be synth claves. The nicest surprise of the album.
"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" - Lovely beginning... the song seems to have lived through the experience of "Petites Litanies". As in "O Little Town of Bethlehem", Emerson uses the British melody here. At around the 1:00 mark, it livens up considerably. All synth and clavinet with no percussion at all.
"Silent Night" - What a great idea! A bluesy gospel choir (with a superb soloist) backed by a trio of Emo's piano, drums and stand-up bass. Keith, you're brilliant!

Oh my. This is beyond scary. A mile-long train carrying crude oil derailed near a small town in North Dakota and sent explosions, flames and dark black smoke into the sky. Luckily (and almost unbelievably), no one was hurt in the accident that looked a lot more like a nuke exploding than a train derailment. Thank god.
According to the Huffington Post, Authorities are strongly recommending that people in the town of Casselton, North Dakota and those who live nearby evacuate the area because upcoming weather is expected to push the hazardous plume of smoke down.
No one knows how the derailment happened but officials are saying as many as 10 caught fire in the explosion (the train had more than 100 cars). Hopefully everybody can stay safe.

The Boogie Man Is My Friend...: I am an extremist, are you?
I am an extremist, are you?
I don't have crotch cancer. Yay me! I will graduate in December. Yay me!
I have a great sense of humor. Yay me!
Here is the latest post on Law Enforcement Today. Yay me! I bet they might not appreciate I used the word crotch in the same post as I did the article. NOT yay me!
Read it or weep. Are you and EXTREMIST? I am.
Everything I do is sometimes over the top. I was just taught if you partake in something, do it well. Good thing I did not take up crime, I would be a master criminal. Caveat to that is my parents, family, and school taught me to do good things. Yay society!
Why are we failing now?
Why are we failing? Easy, way too much piss poor parenting. The little buggers are not taught any respect for authority, or other people, or their property. No one is taught to take any personal responsibility, always blame it on someone else.
Yep Jim is correct, people used to be parents, now they want to be friends and in the results, they cheat their kids of proper development. We now have a generation or 2 of kids that can't accept responsibility or function in society. Civility isn't acceptable anymore, people are hellbent on their agenda and will not listen to the otherside. People are past talking to each other, now they just talk past them. It will get much worse before it will get better.
Cartoon from the 60's showing a man in an armchair reading a newspaper and commenting to his wife, "The more my thinking moves to the right, the more I find in common with the left. I think I'm becoming a middle of the road extremist".
---Looks lkike you gathered together some marksmen, because everyone has hit the TEN RING.
I agree with and you and with ALL the commenters here.
Lack of civility leads to failure.
Lack of respect, discipline, accountability...DITTO!
===If by being an extremist you mean extremely PO'ed at the state of affairs just in our society, then YEP...I am an extremist.
Simple answer, the left has controlled the school system and inculcated those leftist values and political correctness into the last two generations of children. Sigh... And good article!

A woman whose family controls a western Pennsylvania cheese-making operation is scheduled to plead guilty — along with two of her companies — to charges that their grated cheese had too little cheese and too much wood pulp.
Michelle Myrter was scheduled to plead guilty Friday morning before a federal judge in Pittsburgh. She'll also be pleading guilty on behalf of International Packing LLC and Universal Cheese and Drying Inc.
The two Slippery Rock-based businesses charged were accused of mislabeling products made by family-owned Castle Cheese. Myrter is vice president of Castle and an officer in the other firms.
Stephen Stallings, a former federal prosecutor and Pittsburgh-based defense attorney for Myrter and the companies, declined to comment in advance of the guilty pleas.
Myrter faces up to a year in prison and a $500,000 fine. The companies could also each be fined up to $500,000 or up to twice their ill-gotten profits from selling the cheese.
Myrter is charged with aiding and abetting the introduction of misbranded and adulterated food into interstate commerce. The companies are each charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, a catch-all charge that often covers regulatory violations.
The charges don't specify where the cheese was sold, or how much of it went to stores, and they don't specify what was in the cheese, only that products labeled "100 percent real Parmesan and Romano" cheeses weren't as required by the Food and Drug Administration.
But according to an FDA report on Castle Cheese reported by Bloomberg News earlier this month "no parmesan cheese was used to manufacture" the company's Market Pantry brand or the Always Save and Best Choice branded parmesan cheese. Instead, they were made with a combination of Swiss, mozzarella and white cheddar cheeses, along with cellulose, which is made with wood pulp. Up to 4 percent cellulose is allowed as a safe additive in such cheeses, according to standards set forth by the FDA.
The Market Pantry cheese was sold at Target stores. The other brands were sold through 3,400 stores controlled by Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc., based in Kansas City, Kansas.
Minneapolis-based Target has previously said that Castle Cheese hasn't been an authorized vendor, and the chain was investigating the FDA's findings. Target didn't immediately return calls and emails for comment Friday.

EthosEnergy Light Turbines has the capability to support the Centaur 40 range or engines from the legacy CS3000 to the latest 4700 DLN and low BTU units.
Being of the same basic frame size as the later generation Taurus units the facility has a shared final build area in the shop with two hydraulically elevated build pits and a dedicated disassembly platform.
Sub assembly is split within the shop between the power rotor and the static assemblies in a ‘Production Flow’ arrangement that gives a great overview of project progression through the shop.
The Centaur exchange fleet is optimized by building 4700 engines as a standard product and down rating these to 4500 to meet the specific product required by the client.
The Centaur 40 engine is now an aged product and as such has a diverse number of models which demand full parts support. We have the capability to replace the aging turbine discs with the very latest Inconel 718 assemblies and upgrade the entire engine to the latest OEM Service Bulletin specification.
The Centaur product is a mature product line and whilst modifications are not frequent they are still occasionally released. EthosEnergy Light Turbines react swiftly to these modifications.
As Solar evolved the C40 into the C50 variant (known at the time as the Centaur ‘H’) an upgraded PT became available with a new disc, heavier blades and vibration dampers deployed between each blade. EthosEnergy Light Turbines has developed all the required parts to perform this upgrade for clients and can offer this option should they desire to review the benefits.
EthosEnergy is a registered customer with Solar Turbines Inc. and receive regular notifications of all Technical Service Bulletins and Product Information Notes relevant to owners of these turbines.

The 8th of November is almost here, which means that elections are amost here too. We want to make this task easy for you, so here you have information about the different candidates, the different parties and how to vote for the elections.
First of all, the two candidates for the elections are Hillary Clinton, the former U.S Secretary of the State who belongs to the Democratic Party and Donald Trump, the president of Trump organization who belongs to the Republican Party.
Hilary has been the favorite during the previous survey and proposes aids for all those immigrants who come to the state and want to integrate those immigrants into the American society. Trump proposes a state free of immigrants and wants to build a wall between U.S and Mexico and forbid the entrance of immigrants into the state. He also want to control the arrival of illegal immigrants into the States.
There is no doubt that they are two candidates with different opposite ideas but people have no clue about who is going to win the elections, so we all have to wait until the results.
Finally, it is important you know how to vote for the elections. If you want to vote you need to register in advance, so you have the possibility to vote during the elections. To do so, you need to go to the official page of each state of the U.S and register before the elections actually take place.

I didn't always see myself as a practitioner of the healing arts.
And then one day, Ayurveda found me.
Isn't that the way it is for all genuine passions?
When people ask me when or why I decided to become an Ayurvedic practitioner, I hesitate at first. But I usually answer, that it was a choiceless choice. There was no decision. I just knew.
But of course, this pathway didn't come out of the blue. It's a culmination of all that I truly love. A lifelong interest in holistic living, whole foods and natural cooking. A deep connection to chanting and sound and understanding all of life as vibration. Many years of immersion in yoga and meditation.
And most important: 35 years of nurturing from my Spiritual Teachers, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati and Neem Karoli Baba, from whom I received my most important teachings on nourishment. "Feed Everyone", they urge, referring to serving humanity and sharing unconditional Love, as well as the act of giving food. Their love, lessons and constant guidance are forever entwined in my being.
Who we are is not merely a body. We are a total combination of our body, our mind, our senses and our soul. Throughout our lives we search for nourishment and fulfillment on each of these levels. Only a complete approach to wellness and healing understands these needs.
It's an exciting time to be alive. Ancient wisdom is now available for the modern world and many are looking to Ayurveda with its proven track record for new approaches to thinking and treatment.
Equally exciting for me, are the emergence of new modalities to address the uniquely modern day dilemmas that we face. I am fortunate for a couple of these to have "found" me, much like my experience with Ayurveda.
The MELT Method and Functional Nutrition are in complete resonance with how I approach health and healing. I am grateful for their contributions to the successful resolution of health challenges in myself and my clients and will continue to draw upon them as tools for creating resilient protocols.
If you give yourself permission to slow down and listen--you will have taken the first steps towards true healing and real nourishment.
It would be my pleasure to inspire you on your journey to wholeness and authenticity and act as a guide for your well-being.

Admiral Dean walked in to his office, it was a pretty large room, for an office that is, there was some plain white paint on the walls and roof with a nice brown carpet covering the floor and a nice window behind my steel desk.
In the window you could see another building, mostly grey with some large white lines to indicate where the different offices where, most of them also had a window identical to mine, but between the buildings there was a little garden to look at.
Dean pulled out his little chair, it was a standard office chair but it was very comfortable and sturdy.
He then sat down and opened up his green laptop and pressed the power button, typed in the password ‘’Leanehound’’.
Leane was his wife and he loved dogs, he always had one.
We need another mechanic to fix the mechs in time for the assault, I have to supervise the progress so you have to find a mechanic and send him here ASAP.
He doesn’t have to be anything special; we just need someone who can follow orders.Dean proceeded to look at available crew in the Nebula, the human space explorers.
That was the one he needed, before bothering to look at the rest, thirty available crew showed up, four recommended, he read the recommended first.
Performance: A very experienced mechanic who has been on sixteen short missions and two long missions, mostly a hard worker but can get very frightened when things are really at stake.
Performance: A very high tempered mechanic who doesn’t go on long missions because others don’t like being around him for long, otherwise a very good mechanic who is rarely afraid, twenty-five short missions.
Performance: A self-confident mechanic who also studied science for a period of time, a fast worker but has a hard time following orders but still gets the job done most of the time, very good at improvising.
Nine short mission and one long mission.
Perfomance: A stunning mechanic with high expectations, still very young and not in full understanding of everything, he can do a good job inside his knowledge and he follows orders, two short missions.
Dean considered all of them.
Orique could be a good choice but this mission was in a dangerous zone, if the enemies were to attack he could be a lot less usefull.
Goldheim was a no, this was only a short mission so they shouldn’t need someone who could disturb the others, were at a tight schedule already.
Forsée was a good choice but in the end he went with Dimm, this could be a good chance to see his potential and he was good at following orders, which could really be needed in this tight schedule they had.
-WAKE UP VENUS! A female voice said.
-Wha? Venus replied as he slowly regained consciousness.
-Venus it’s nine already! The voice said.
-Mira, the academy lessons doesn’t start until evening today, Venus said.
Venus quickly goes out of the bed and stands in his and Miras Bedroom, it was mostly white on the walls and the roof, but the bed was black and so was most of the furniture, Mira thought it was ‘’artistic’’.
He walked into a restroom right beside the bedroom.
It was a standard white restroom with a shower, toilet and a washbasin, nothing special; he put on his clothing in a flash and hurried out into his office, a standard little home office with a desk, laptop and a lamp.
He hurried over to the desk and pulled out the small black office chair and sat down.
His laptop was already on, considering Mira knew what was on it, it wasn’t a big surprise.
You are needed in the Outer Nebula station, information is classified.
A small transport ship will pick you up at the academy, twelve hundred o clock.
This was amazing, missions were more fun than just studying at the academy, he was very excited for the mission.
-I will leave around eleven, Mira, Venus said.
-What are you supposed to do, nothing dangerous, right? Mira asked.
-It’s classified, but you know Nebula has security as their high- Venus replied when Mira interrupted and said: -est priority and bla bla bla, you said that a few hundred times.
Mira left the doorway and Venus heard the door open and close a little later, he should probably get ready to leave too.
Two hours later Venus was on the transport ship.
-Can you tell me my assignment pilot? Venus yelled.
-Negative, I haven’t heard what it is, the pilot replied.
A few hours later the ship arrived and Venus stepped of and the ship took off again instantly, must be a tight schedule.
Venus was greeted by the chief mechanic.
-Welcome, you must be Dimm, was it? The mechanic said.
-Yes I’m Dimm, chief mechanic, Venus replied quickly.
-Call me Arale, I need you to follow me.
Venus followed Arale through the space station, it was mostly grey walls but there was lots of crewmembers aboard so it didn’t feel alone, eventually there was also a door in the wall, it was still a large corridor at least 3 meters tall, which was probably an indication of the station being large.
After some time they saw a large door in the side with a sign saying ‘’Mech bay’’ above it, Arale went over and pulled the door open and as Arale and Venus walked through Venus saw the amazing room.
It was at least 20 meters tall, lots of people walked around and appeared to be building mechs, the huge metallic vehicles were all along the walls, there were also second floors on the sides of the room with another layer of mechs.
-I need you to go upstairs on the left and help Kim and Nina fixing the 3’rd mech from the right, they will brief you in what to do, Arale said.
-Okay Alice, how many mechs? Arale asked.
‘’We should have ar-‘’ Alice said when all of sudden a huge explosion came from the big gate to space at the end of the bay and flooded almost the entire bay.
Venus quickly ran against the door, Alice and Arale following close after him, when he reached the door he realized that they could not lose the Outer Nebula Station, that could cost them a great tactical location and lots of resources, way too many.
-Arale, evacuate, you’re the ranking officer, they need you more than they need me! Venus said as he noticed small pods, probably filled with Colleral soldiers flying right into the bay.
When Venus most officers would have said something like ‘’I should go down with the ship, not you’’ or ‘’I command you to go, I’ll stay’’ but Arale wasn’t stubborn or naïve, he just left with Alice, who Venus noticed had a huge bruise on her chin.
Venus realized that his chance of survival was very low but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, he saw a large wrench close by and decided it was the best kind of weapon around here, if he couldn’t reach a working mech.
He saw a mech, unfortunately it was on the second floor, he quickly ran over and grabbed the wrench then proceeded to quickly looked around, he noticed that the smoke the explosion had left covered a lot of the area but because the station could automatically block out breaches with force fields but I had to thing quickly, the force fields didn’t have unlimited energy.
I started sprinting for the ladder to the small second floor as the smoke seemed to provide cover but it also covered the Colleral, when I had almost reached the ladder I tripped over something and fell, quickly standing up because of the situation required it, he then quickly turned around and saw what tripped him.
It was a Colleral, it was also about to stand up, it was much taller than Venus, around 2.1 meters tall he assumed, slightly red skin and the some bones sticking out around the neck.
It was also covered in what looked like combat armor, grey with the Colleral sign on the kneepads and a helm covering the entire head with a small visor around the eyes, Colleral could breathe the same air as humans could but it slightly weakened them so they preferred the suits.
Before the humanoid could completely stand up Venus proceeded to hit it in the visor as hard as he could with the wrench, it broke and it was very shocked, the glass from the visor should make it even more troubling for it though.
The mech was more important than completely killing it so Venus quickly jumped on the ladder and started climbing it as quickly as he could but then he noticed that he had taken some small damage from the fall, making it troubling to climb but he still did it pretty fast.
The wounds would also be troubling but nothing he couldn’t handle.
None of those weapons could penetrate but if their ship fired at him he could be in trouble, if they had a ship of course, only the small shuttles had been confirmed.
He powered the weapons, they were big and had highly explosive rounds, it would easily be able to defeat the enemies in the room, and he didn’t know how many were outside though.
He pulled the trigger and the gatling gun like barrels started spinning, shortly after the bullets flew out and in a matter of seconds he had laid waste to the entire room, there didn’t seem to be any more living Colleral so he proceeded to activate the thrusters.
He quickly came over to the breach and the force field could easily be flown through, he was out in space in a matter of seconds.
He could see lots of stars and a huge purple nebula close by, that is how the station got its name, but he quickly noticed some pretty well camouflaged ships, shortly after he saw how large they were and that he had almost no chance to defeat them, even smaller one to escape.
While thinking about whether to engage or try to escape he didn’t notice that one ship had already detected him and was preparing weapons, Venus saw the missile just as it was about to hit him, but he couldn’t evade it.
After the missile impacted Venus noticed that he was still alive and conscious but barely, as his vision darkened he heard the friendly male voice from the mechs computer was talking.
-Weapon systems down, navigational systems down, medical support failing, power failing, the computer said before there was too little power, it was automatically redirected to medical support.
A few moments later his vision darkened completely.
Surprisingly, Venus opened his eyes again, everything was a little blurry but he thought he was in a spaceship with lots of other people; he started to hear lots of different voices.
All of sudden something grabbed his neck and turned his head, he looked at what he thought was some ones face.
-How? Venus tried to say and he thought it was understandable.
Venus vision began to clear up, he also felt the chains on his hands, and there were also some on his feet.
-How many others are here? Venus asked.
Venus looked over against the voice and noticed it was a pretty small man sitting close by a window, he was bald and wearing a green shirt, Venus couldn’t make out his pants though.
Venus started hearing low chatter around him; it was probably about the planet.
After some time the starship shook a little and then stopped, they had arrived.
All of sudden the chains opened and everyone stood up and started walking against the left wall, including Venus, when he was walking he felt something stinging in the neck, but not when he stood still, he assumed it was something that controlled some of his brain functions.
After some time the wall opened and everyone started walking through into large hallway of glass, through the glass they could see the planets surface and surprisingly for a prison planet it had a little of life, It was like one of the rainforests from earth, just in a much larger scale, the trees were absolutely huge and he could see animals everywhere, here could mostly see insects but he assumed there were some other, larger animals around.
Shortly after they passed the hallway and now all the walls were just grey with lots of doors in the sides and one person went through each door, after some time Venus wished he could go through a door soon, his legs were tired and wanted something to happen.
As people went through the doors Venus noticed how the numbers diminished and soon there was almost no one left, when Arale left there was only four other people left, including Venus, it felt like the doors got further and further away.
Shortly after the others left too and Venus was the only one left, he finally went through a door, he came inside a little room with a small light on the roof, a very uncomfortable looking bed and a small chair next to a table standing next to the wall, there was a hole in the wall right above the table and a little dish standing in front of the hole.
On the dish there was what looked like some food, he couldn’t see what though, and a glass of water, this is very he would be living for the rest of his life.
Venus noticed how hungry he washed and pulled out the chair a little and sat down, there was no knife or fork so he assumed he had to eat with his hands, he took a bit of the weird brown square food and ate, it was very dry and tasted horribly, he tried the water and hoped it wasn’t as dry as the food, it wasn’t it was just plain water.
After eating his neck started hurting a lot, he raised his hands and tried to cover the pain but as soon as his hands got close to his neck he heard static and his hands were struck by what felt like lightning, the pain got worse and worse but in the process it felt like it moved away, after a short time that felt like an eternity he felt a very painful sting and then heard something land, he quickly turned around, fighting the pain.
As he initially looked around nothing was there but when h looked down he saw some kind of small robot with four legs, it must have been the thing controlling him earlier, he tried to smash it with his left foot but it evaded the attack and ran in under the table, Venus jumped down on the floor and looked under the table as he saw nothing but a little hole, it must have been planned.
After that he decided he had nothing else to do but to go to sleep, he stood up from the floor and slowly got into the bed, it was very uncomfortable but he had nothing else to do.
He couldn’t stop thinking about the days events but eventually he fell asleep.
Venus woke up, he didn’t know for how long he had been here but he estimated six days, some of the food came in through the hole every couple of hours and he noticed he could just get rid of the dishes by throwing them back into the hole, but it was too small for him to climb through.
He sat down on the chair and put his hands on his face with his elbows on the table, he couldn’t believe his life had come to this, he had thought about trying to kill himself by throwing himself against the walls or starving himself but he didn’t want to give up hope yet, there were people waiting for him at home and he was planning to see them again.
Something was different today though, he couldn’t point his finger on what it was, what could be different anyways?
Then he heard it, it was a small wooshing sound, he didn’t know where it came from, he checked every inch of his room, he even checked if the odd robotic thing had placed itself on his neck again, but nothing, yet the sound kept getting louder.
Soon after another sound appeared, it sounded like an engine, but not like one Venus had ever heard, the engine sound was also becoming louder quickly and he couldn’t guess what was going on, as the sounds become louder and louder he suspected it was because whatever was causing them was getting closer.
Then suddenly the sounds completely stopped but now Venus shortly heard a sound, he couldn’t guess what it was before a huge explosion tore the wall open and knocked him over, he managed to stay conscious and stood up again, when he looked out he saw a lot of the rainforest area he had seen before but a pretty far away he saw a large barren area, in the middle there was something odd, probably a meteorite, but then he heard a weird pulsing sound.
Whit no other options, Venus decided to go check it out, it might be able to help him out somehow, there wasn’t very far down to the ground so Venus just jumped down, as he landed he could feel the dust fly around him, felt so nice to finally be on real earth again.
Looking up he saw the sun of this planet, he had really missed it, he also noticed that it was pretty hot, nothing to be worried about though.
He looked forward and the landscapes beauty caught him, it was like a large rainforest with lots of colors, the trees stood very tall in the air and there were lots of flowers and other plants on the ground, he also noticed lots of small insects, he also noticed an odd smell, he couldn’t make out what it was.

Wikipedia: The Music of Spain has a vibrant and long history which has had an important impact on music in Western culture. Although the music of Spain is often associated with traditions like flamenco and the acoustic guitar,Spanish music is in fact incredibly diverse from region to region.
Flamenco, for example, is an Andalusian musical genre, which, contrary to popular belief, is not widespread outside that region. In contrast, the music of Galicia has more in common with its Celtic cousins in Ireland and France than with the unique Basque music right next door.
Other regional styles of folk music abound in Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Castile, Llión and Asturias.

Professor, I’ve heard the word “pharmacy” p-h-a-r-m-a-c-y and the word “drug store” used. ອາຈານ ຂ້ອຍໄດ້ຍິນ ມີການໃຊ້ທັງຄຳສັບ ທັງ “pharmacy” ກັບ “drug store” drug ຢາ ກັບ store ຮ້ານ. ທັງສອງມີຄວາມໝາຍດຽວກັນເບາະ?
MC: I see, they both mean ຮ້ານຂາຍຢາເນາະ. ເອົາໄປຟັງກັນວ່າ ເຮເລິນ ເວົ້າແນວໃດກັບ pharmacist p-h-a-r-m-a-c-i-s-t ໝໍຢາ.
Professor: So Winnie, what kind of medicine does Helen want? ເອົາ ວິນນີ່ ເຮເລິນຢາກໄດ້ຢາແບບໃດ?
MC: The pharmacist asks her if she wants some “prescription” medicine, ໝໍປຸງຢາ ຖາມລາວວ່າ ລາວຢາກໄດ້ຢາທີ່ນາຍແພດສັ່ງໃຫ້ບໍ? but Helen says she wants some non-prescription medicine ແຕ່ເຮເລິນເວົ້າວ່າ ລາວຢາກໄດ້ຢາທຳມະດາ ທີ່ບໍ່ແມ່ນໝໍສັ່ງ.
ຢາ “over-the-counter” ແມ່ນຢາທີ່ບໍ່ແມ່ນໝໍສັ່ງ ຫລືຢາ non-prescription. So that means you don’t need to get permission or a prescription from a doctor to take that medicine? ສະນັ້ນ ກໍໝາຍຄວາມວ່າ ເຮົາບໍ່ຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງຂໍອະນຸຍາດ ຫລືຂໍໃບສັ່ງ ຈາກນາຍໝໍ ເພື່ອຈະກິນຢານັ້ນ ແມ່ນບໍ່?
Professor: That’s right. Now let’s hear what’s wrong with Helen. ແມ່ນແລ້ວ. ບັດນີ້ ໄປຟັງກັນວ່າ ເຮເລິນ ບໍ່ສະບາຍ ເປັນຫຍັງ?
Pharmacist: Hello. Can I help you? ສະບາຍດີ ໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍຊ່ວຍຫຍັງບໍ່?
Helen: Yes, I haven’t been feeling well lately ເຈົ້າ.. ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ສຶກບໍ່ສະບາຍປານໃດ ໄລຍະຫລັງໆນີ້ and need some medicine ແລະຕ້ອງການຢາກິນ.
Pharmacist: I see. Do you have a prescription? ໂອ ເຈົ້າມີໃບສັ່ງບໍ່?
Helen: No, I just want some non-prescription medicine. ບໍ່ ຂ້ອຍພຽງແຕ່ຢາກໄດ້ຢາທຳມະດາ ບໍ່ແມ່ນໝໍສັ່ງເທົ່ານັ້ນ.
MC: Well Professor, I’m guessing from the context that a “symptom” means a sign of your illness. Is that right? ເອີ ອາຈານ ຂ້ອຍເດົາເອົາຈາກທ້ອງເລື້ອງວ່າ “symptoms” ໝາຍເຖິງ ອາການຂອງການເຈັບປ່ວຍ ແມ່ນບໍ່?
Professor: Exactly! “Symptoms” is spelled “s-y-m-p-t-o-m-s.” ຖືກຕ້ອງ! “Symptoms” ສະກົດແບບນີ້ “s-y-m-p-t-o-m-s.” Doctors will ask you to describe your symptoms ນາຍແພດຈະຂໍໃຫ້ເຈົ້າ ບັນລະຍາຍອາການຂອງເຈົ້າໃຫ້ຟັງ so that they can diagnose what is wrong with you ເພື່ອວ່າເຂົາເຈົ້າຈະສາມາດວິນິດໄສໄດ້ວ່າ ເຈົ້າເປັນອິຫຍັງ.
MC: “Diagnose”? I think I’ve heard that before. “Diagnose”? ຂ້ອຍຄິດວ່າ ຂ້ອນໄດ້ຍິນຄຳນີ້ມາກ່ອນ. It’s spelled “d-i-a-g-n-o-s-e,” right? ມັນສະກົດ d-i-a-g-n-o-s-e, diagnose, and it means ວິນິດໄສ. But Professor, I’m confused by what Helen means at the end ແຕ່ວ່າ ອາຈານ ຂ້ອຍສັບສົນ ບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈວ່າ  ເຮເລິນໝາຍຄວາມວ່າແນວໃດ ໃນຕອນທ້າຍ when she says that she is feeling “under the weather.” ເວລາລາວເວົ້າວ່າ ລາວຮູ້ສຶກ “ຢູ່ກ້ອງອາກາດ” “under the weather.”?
MC: Ah, I see. So if I don’t show up for class tomorrow, I can tell you that I am feeling under the weather? ໂອ ເຂົ້າໃຈແລ້ວ. ສະນັ້ນ ຄັນຂ້ອຍບໍ່ມາຮຽນມື້ອື່ນ ຂ້ອຍບອກເຈົ້າກະໄດ້ຕົ່ວວ່າ I am feeling under the weather? Well hopefully this medicine will make Helen feel better, ເອົ່າ ຫວັງວ່າ ຢານີ້ຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ເຮເລິນ ຮູ້ສຶກໄຄຂຶ້ນ but in my experience, sometimes taking too much medicine can make you feel worse than you did before. ແຕ່ວ່າ ໃນປະສົບປະການຂອງຂ້ອຍ ບາງເທື່ອ ການກິນຢາຫລາຍເກີນໄປ ກໍສາມາດເຮັດໃຫ້ເຈົ້າບໍ່ສະບາຍໜັກ ກ່ວາເກົ່າໄດ້. ເອົ໋າ ໄປຟັງກັນວ່າ ໝໍຢາແນະນຳໃຫ້ເຮເລິນກິນຢາຫຍັງ ຫລັງຈາກຟັງຄຳແປຂອງບົດສົນທະນາມື້ກີ້.
Pharmacist: Before I can recommend some medicine, I need to know your symptoms. ກ່ອນທີ່ຂ້ອຍຈະແນະນຳຢາບາງຢ່າງໃຫ້ ຂ້ອຍຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງຮູ້ອາການຂອງເຈົ້າກ່ອນ.
Helen: My stomach has been hurting, and I have had a bad headache. ຂ້ອຍເຈັບທ້ອງມາໄດ້ໄລຍະນຶ່ງແລ້ວ ແລະຂ້ອຍກໍເຈັບຫົວຫລາຍ.
Pharmacist: Sure, I have a very good medicine for those symptoms. ໂອເຄ ຂ້ອຍມີຢາທີ່ດີຫລາຍ ສຳຫລັບອາການເຫລົ່ານັ້ນ.
Helen: I hope it works! I’ve really been feeling under the weather. ຂ້ອຍຫວັງວ່າ ມັນຈະໄດ້ຜົນ! ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ສຶກບໍ່ສະບາຍອີ່ຫລີ ມາໄດ້ໄລຍະນຶ່ງແລ້ວ.
MC: So the pharmacist tells Helen to take the medicine once in the morning and once at night. ໝໍຢາບອກໃຫ້ເຮເລິນ ກິນຢາເທື່ອນຶ່ງຕອນເຊົ້າ ແລະເທື່ອນຶ່ງ ຕອນຄ່ຳ. But Professor, what does the word “dose” mean? ແຕ່ວ່າ ອາຈານ “dose” ແປວ່າຫຍັງ?
Professor: The dose, d-o-s-e, is the amount of medicine you should take. Dose, ສະກົດ d-o-s-e, dose, ແມ່ນຂະໜາດ ຫລືປະລິມານຂອງຢາ ທີ່ເຈົ້າຄວນຈະກິນ.
ໂອ ໝໍຢາບອກເຮເລິນວ່າ ຂະໜາດຂອງຢາທີ່ລາວຈະຕ້ອງກິນ ແມ່ນ ສອງເມັດ ຫລື “pills” p-i-l-l-s, meaning that she should take two pills in the morning and two pills at night. ແປວ່າ ລາວຄວນຈະກິນສອງເມັດໃນຕອນເຊົ້າ ແລະສອງເມັດໃນຕອນຄ່ຳ.
Professor: Right. And did you hear what the side effects of this medicine are? ຖືກຕ້ອງ ແລະເຈົ້າໄດ້ຍິນບໍ່ວ່າ ຜົນຂ້າງຄຽງຂອງຢານີ້ ແມ່ນຫຍັງ?
MC: Sure, the “side effects” are that the medicine might make Helen feel “drowsy,” ແນ່ນອນ ຜົນຂ້າງຄຽງ ຫລື “side effects” ທີ່ມາຈາກຄຳວ່າ side ທາງຂ້າງ ກັບ effects ທີ່ແປວ່າ ຜົນສະທ້ອນ ກໍແມ່ນວ່າ ຢາຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ເຮເລິນ ຮູ້ສຶກຢາກນອນ ຫລື “drowsy,” ສະກົດ d-r-o-w-s-y, drowsy, so the pharmacist tells her not to drive a car after taking the medicine ສະນັ້ນ ໝໍຢາຈຶ່ງບອກລາວ ບໍ່ໃຫ້ຂັບລົດ ຫລັງຈາກກິນຢາແລ້ວ. ໄປຄຳແປຂອງບົດສົນທະນາລະຫວ່າງເຂົາເຈົ້າກັນ.
Pharmacist: Take this medicine once in the morning and once at night. ກິນຢານີ້ ເທື່ອນຶ່ງຕອນເຊົ້າແລະເທື່ອນຶ່ງ ຕອນກາງຄືນ. You will feel much better. ບາດແລ້ວ ເຈົ້າຈະຮູ້ສຶກດີຂຶ້ນຫລາຍ.
Helen: OK, what is the dose? ຕົກລົງ ເທື່ອລະຈັກເມັດ?
Pharmacist: There are two pills per dose. ເທື່ອລະສອງເມັດ.
Helen: And are there any side effects? ແລະມັນມີຜົນຂ້າງຄຽງຫຍັງບໍ່?
Pharmacist: It may make you feel drowsy, so don’t drive after taking it. ມັນອາດຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ເຈົ້າຢາກນອນ ສະນັ້ນ ຢ່າຂັບລົດ ຫລັງຈາກກິນຢານັ້ນແລ້ວ.
Professor: So Winnie, did you hear what Helen is allergic to? ເອົາ ວິນນີ່ ເຈົ້າໄດ້ຍິນບໍ່ວ່າ ເຮເລິນ ແພ້ຫຍັງ?
MC: Well the pharmacist asked her if she is “allergic” to anything, ເອີ່ ໝໍຢາຖາມລາວ ວ່າລາວແພ້ຫຍັງບໍ່ and she said that she isn’t. “allergic” a-l-l-e-r-g-i-c “allergic” to any medications, ແລະລາວເວົ້າວ່າ ລາວບໍ່ແພ້ຢາຫຍັງ but she is allergic to peanuts ແຕ່ລາວແພ້ໝາກຖົ່ວດິນ.
Professor: Right. And what did the pharmacist tell Helen to do if her symptoms don’t get better? ແມ່ນແລ້ວ. ແລ້ວໝໍຢາບອກເຮເລິນວ່າແນວໃດ ຖ້າຫາກອາການຂອງລາວ ບໍ່ດີຂຶ້ນ?
MC: He says that she should “schedule a doctor’s appointment” to get a diagnosis. ລາວເວົ້າວ່າ ເຮເລິນຄວນນັດໝໍ ເພື່ອໃຫ້ໝໍວິນິດໄສ ອາການຂອງລາວ. I don’t know, Professor. ບໍ່ຈັກເດີ້ ອາຈານ. If I were sick, I think I would much rather get medical advice from a doctor than a pharmacist. ຖ້າຂ້ອຍບໍ່ສະບາຍ ຂ້ອຍກໍຄົງຈະຢາກໄປຂໍຄຳປຶກສາດ້ານການແພດຈາກດອກເຕີ້ ຫລາຍກ່ວາ ຈາກໝໍຢາ.
Professor: But don’t you think this pharmacist sounds pretty good? ແຕ່ເຈົ້າບໍ່ຄິດວະວ່າ ໝໍຢາຄົນນີ້ ກໍເກ່ງສົມຄວນຢູ່.
MC: Well, the only way to know for sure is to listen next time and see if Helen is feeling better! ເອີ... ທາງດຽວທີ່ຈະຮູ້ໄດ້ຢ່າງແນ່ນອນ ວ່າເຮເລິນຈະໄຄຂຶ້ນຫລືບໍ່ ກໍແມ່ນລໍຖ້າຟັງໃນບົດຮຽນໜ້າ ແຕ່ວ່າ ບົດຟັງບົດສົນທະນາມື້ກີ້ນີ້ອີກ ພ້ອມກັບຄຳແປ.
Pharmacist: Before I give this to you, I need to ask one last question. Do you have any allergies? ກ່ອນຂ້ອຍຈະເອົາອັນນີ້ໃຫ້ເຈົ້າ ຂ້ອຍຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງຖາມຄຳຖາມຂໍ້ນຶ່ງ ເປັນຂໍ້ສຸດທ້າຍ. ເຈົ້າແພ້ຫຍັງບໍ່?
Helen: I’m not allergic to any medicine, although I have an allergy to peanuts. ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ແພ້ຢາຫຍັງຈັກຢ່າງ ແຕ່ວ່າ ຂ້ອຍແພ້ໝາກຖົ່ວດິນ.
Pharmacy: That isn’t a problem. There aren’t any peanuts in this medication. ນັ້ນບໍ່ເປັນບັນຫາ. ບໍ່ມີໝາກຖົ່ວດິນ ຢູ່ໃນຢານີ້.
Helen: Well thank you very much for your help. I will follow the directions. ໂອ.. ຂອບໃຈຫລາຍໆ ສຳຫລັບຄວາມຊ່ວຍເຫລືອຂອງເຈົ້າ. ຂ້ອຍຈະປະຕິບັດຕາມຄຳຊີ້ນຳຂອງເຈົ້າດອກ.
Pharmacist: If you don’t feel better, you should schedule a doctor’s appointment to get a diagnosis. ຖ້າວ່າເຈົ້າຍັງບໍ່ໄຄຂຶ້ນ ເຈົ້າຄວນຈະນັດໝໍ ເພື່ອໃຫ້ໝໍວິນິດໄສວ່າ ເຈົ້າເປັນຫຍັງ.
MC: ນ້ອງໆນັກສຶກສາທີ່ຮັກແພງ ເວລາເຮົາຍັງມີເຫລືອຢູ່. ສະນັ້ນ ເຮົາຂໍສະເໜີບົດຮຽນ English in a Minute ຫລື ຮຽນສຳນວນພາສາອັງກິດໃນນຶ່ງນາທີ. ສຳນວນທີ່ເຮົາຈະຮຽນໃນມື້ນີ້ ກໍຄື “In your dreams!” ມັນມີຄວາມໝາຍແນວໃດ? ໄປຟັງກັນເລີຍ ພ້ອມກັບຄຳແປ.
In American English, when someone responds to you by saying, “In your dreams!” does he mean that you’re actually dreaming? ໃນພາສາອັງກິດອາເມຣິກັນ ເວລາໃຜຜູ້ນິ່ງເວົ້າຕອບທ່ານວ່າ “In your dreams!” ແມ່ນລາວ ໝາຍຄວາມວ່າ ທ່ານກໍາລັງຝັນຢູ່ ອີ່ຫລີບໍ?
Guess what? This weekend, I caught a fish this big. ຮູ້ບໍ່? ເມື່ອທ້າຍອາທິດຜ່ານມານີ້ ຂ້ອຍຕຶກປາໄດ້ ໂຕໃຫຍ່ສໍ່ານີ້ແຫລະ.
In your dreams! There is no way you caught a fish that big. ໃນຄວາມຝັນຂອງເຈົ້າຫັ້ນຕິ! ບໍ່ມີທາງທີ່ເຈົ້າຈະຕຶກປາໄດ້ ໂຕໃຫຍ່ສໍ່ານັ້ນ.

Serco Group Plc was found on Aug. 21, 1986. Sir Geoffrey Pattie was Minister of Industry and Trade, and keeper of the Queen’s Golden Shares.
Serco was the privatized remenant of Britain’s Alvey Programme.
On Jul. 04, 1986, Sir Geoffrey told the British public that British government funded SERC was lose funding support and the future of vital computing technologies would be European imports.
On Aug. 21, 1986, Sir Geoffrey founded “Dealmove Limited” (then quietly changed its name to “SERCO Group Plc” 15 months later on Nov. 03, 1987 without proper notices at Companies House).
Why the bureaucratic sleight of hand? To hide SERCO’s true origins in British MI6 and rogue C.I.A… (not the RCA brainwashing narrative).
Serco Inc. DUNS 014387489 (Accessed May 11, 2018). Department of Defense (DOD) contracts between Aug. 14, 2006 and Apr. 01, 2018. USAspending. (Summary: 4,342 totaling $4,081,736,700); See also Serco Inc. (Accessed May 11, 2018). Department of Defense (DOD) subcontracts between Feb. 04, 2011 and Mar. 20, 2018. USAspending. (Summary: 302 contracts totaling $143,496,782).
Serco Group Plc, Co. No. 02048608. (Aug. 21, 1986). Formation name was Dealmove Limited. Certificate of Incorporation and other records. Renamed “Serco Group Plc” on Nov. 03, 1987 in an Articles of Association filing without submitting the statutory Name Change Notice. Companies House.
It is believed that the Inns of Chancery evolved in tandem with the Inns of Court. During the 12th and 13th century the law was taught in the City of London, primarily by the clergy. During the 13th century two events happened which destroyed this form of legal education – firstly a papal bull in 1218 that prohibited the clergy from teaching the law, and secondly decrees by King Henry II and Henry III that no institutes of legal education could exist in the City of London As a result, the system of legal education fell apart, and the lawyers instead settled immediately outside the City of London as close as possible to Westminster Hall, where the Magna Carta provided for a permanent court. This was the small village of Holborn, where they inhabited “hostels” or “inns”, which later took their name from the landlord of the Inn in question.
Check out Michael Lester’s resume as Sir Geoffrey’s first director pick in the newly reorganized IP Institute (became a corporation instead of a partnership). Invited commercial companies to become directors.
It is his buddy in at GEC in aerospace, defence and intelligence, Michael Lester.
What happened to Microsoft’s $800 seed month in 2011?
You probably have this by now, a man was arrested at the white house and is connected with Serco, British intelligence, this may be a new eye opener for all those royalty wedding watchers.

What do you do when a story gets so big that you can ignore it no longer — you police the language around it by deploying those tried and trusty weapons; shame and demonization.
Prime Minister David Cameron learned this lesson the hard way on the unlikely location of the roof of the Stock Exchange in Ho Chi Minh City when he was finally cornered into saying something about the growing deluge of illegal immigrants, traversing the English channel on the back of lorries and trains, overwhelming Britain’s flimsy border defences and disappearing into the English countryside.
Look, this is very testing, I accept that, because you have got a swarm of people coming across the Mediterranean, seeking a better life, wanting to come to Britain because Britain has got jobs, it’s got a growing economy, it’s an incredible place to live.
Then the world tumbled in on him. The Refugee Council, the leader of the Labour Party and many others fell on him like jackals on a wounded antelope — all because he used the “dehumanising” word “swarmed.” The BBC, Mirror Telegraph and Guardian thought the PM’s language angle so hugely important that they diverted their attention from the real crisis of thousands of immigrants trying to illegally get into Britain every night.
The “anti-immigration rhetoric” meme has been building in strength just as the border crisis itself has been growing. Late last year the Archbishop of Canterbury said he was worried about anti-immigrant rhetoric. An academic at the London School of Economics has been complaining about the same thing. The Guardian has been whining about irresponsible rhetoric around the Royal Navy’s picking up boatloads of Africans in the Mediterranean. Last month the Guardian was again running the same nagging complaint.
So is it semantics that lead to people living in misery in a refugee camp in Calais, or cause illegal immigrants to die making futile dangerous attempts to cross into Britain? It is those who use “dehumanizing” language who are responsible for that? Of course, it has nothing to do with the flimsy borders and guilt-ridden political class unwilling to shut down the rewards of doing whatever they can to get to the UK.
Jewish writers have been at the forefront of the complaints about the tone of the commentary. In the Guardian Jonathan Freedland wrote that when it comes to immigration “we have to change the way we talk about it.” Nick Cohen said that the word ‘swarmed’ was an “inhuman comparison”. While in the Telegraph neocon Janet Daley was railing against “anti-immigrant rhetoric” on both sides of the Atlantic.
In the Telegraph another Jewish journalist, Emma Barnett, is deeply concerned about the way ordinary Britons are talking about the immigrant flood. She thinks it is “dehumanizing” and chides the selfish British for only thinking about themselves while ignoring the real victims.
Just 21 miles from Britain there is a jungle. Or to give it its full name: Jungle Camp. This is where hundreds of displaced people from all over the world live in some of the most wretched conditions. Stuck in a no-man’s land in Calais, they are living in temporary cardboard structures and surviving on porridge made out of milk and soggy bread. Not that you will probably have paid them much attention over the last week.
The “Jungle” is a refugee camp near Calais called Jungle 2 which is now home to thousands of displaced Middle Easterners and Africans in transit to Britain and it is the scene of frequent riots and gang fights such as when knife-wielding Eritreans clash with Sudanese, for example. A sympathetic portrait of the place is made in this BBC documentary which still cannot conceal the fact that most of these “refugees” are fit, well-nourished, young males.
There is no big mystery about what is happening here — it is an attempt to suppress free speech by labelling it as “hate speech.” By rigorously policing what can and cannot be said, the left have been able to demonize any opposition as “far right.” Anyone who utters even one word of objection is a moral pariah before they begin. Again we are reminded that the West is dying because of they have internalized guilt that is being continuously spewed by the mainstream media. No other culture does this.
The media are helped in this task by a stage army of state-funded supporters who scream ‘foul’ if anyone says a word out of place. Foremost among these is Zoe Gardner who is the TV face of a taxpayer funded outfit called Asylum Aid.
She is photogenic, well-spoken and generous with her opinion that Britain should be taking in far more asylum seekers. Indeed the BBC seems to have her on permanent speed dial as the voice and face of caring, migrant-loving Britain.
She is part of a very incentivised industry. Her charity is basically a front operation for lawyers who can charge the taxpayer vast sums for defending migrant deportations and for arranging housing, further education etc.
There are many organisations like this. Migrant Help Dover offers help with housing, education and employment. Calais Migrant Solidarity has its own permanent offices at the Calais encampment and openly assists bogus asylum claimants. It distributes flyers warning that British Home Office officials “are not your friends” and will “try and refuse your claim and refuse you.” It includes a list of various questions that British officials ask migrants to discover whether they are genuine asylum seekers or not. These include knowing the currency, the name of the president or even the lay-out of the capital of the country you claim to come from. “Prepare for the interview and know your story well” the documents advice.
Behind each of these organisations is a herd of lawyers each keen to get their snouts into the huge trough of government money available through Britain’s legal aid system — a form of lawyer’s welfare. Mass immigration is a cause for which the entire legal profession has an abiding enthusiasm. Activist judges seem determined to sabotage deportations with one perverse decision after another.
Despite all the problems, I am amazed how little is done to prevent and detect the migrants. The fence is easily breached, so why not a barrier of rolls of barbed or razor wire inside the fence? This could be alongside the rail line and would deter even the most determined.
Whilst it is clearly easy to break open the doors of trucks, I would have thought that any truck operating on this route would be fitted we heat detector alarms or CCVT cameras, which are very cheap these days. Also, once the doors are locked and having checked there are no intruders, a poster should be pasted across the doors stating (in several languages) warning that if the poster is broken the truck would be checked and any occupants ejected.
Any immigrants who make it to Britain should always be returned to France, as this is where they should claim asylum, or in any other Schengen country. We are not in Schengen (free trade partnership) and it is not our responsibility if the “Free movement” ends up in Calais.
All good questions that no-one in the mainstream media or politics is asking. Instead the rhetoric concentrates on the “tone” of the actual coverage. Last Monday 2,000 attempts to run the Channel tunnel were defeated followed by a similar number the following night. A total of 37,000 have been prevented this year alone — who knows how many were successful. A Sudanese man became the ninth to die trying to make the crossing. The pictures have indeed been dramatic.
And what is David Cameron actually doing about this? Well, being Cameron, he talks a good game. He has said in speech after speech that Britain is not a soft touch. But he also says the EU prevents him for banning benefits to migrants.
Every expression of protest from local White parents has been labelled as “far right” and extremist.” A local demonstration by 50 parents against the imminent opening of an immigrant detention centre in Whitstable was typical. The only paper that reported it, Scotland’s Sunday Herald framed it as a “racist backlash” threat to the safety of vulnerable asylum seekers from the “far right.” The Kent local weekly press and BBC radio never even mentioned it at all.
You could rely on the British media never to remind people of Mr Sutherland’s previous pronouncement on immigration when the former Goldman Sachs banker (who made £125 million from the Goldman IPO) said that the EU should do it’s best to “undermine the homogeneity” of its member states.

Discussion in 'Professional Catering' started by foodie5951, Dec 3, 2009.
I am catering an Office Christmas Party for 30 and they want Beef Brisket. I need ideas for a starch side dish. Last year i served roasted potatoes with onions and rosemary for the hot starch side (with roast beef). It will need to be cooked in advance and travel about 20 minutes to be put into chafing dishes at the site.
Hopefully something not requiring alot of prep; as in mashed potatoes.
Roasted baby red or yukon potatoes, cippolini onion, rosemary, salt & pepper, olive oil.
Thanks for your reply Kristen, but as stated, last year I served roasted potatoes with onions and rosemary for the hot starch side (with roast beef).
is there a reason that won't work this year?
What about mashed potatoes? Ok, I am sure you already thought of it but have ruled it out. So how about a butternut squash puree, or even mashed sweet potatoes? Add some cayenne pepper to take away the sweet and get it further on the savory side; that way it won't seem like baked yams or sweet potato casserole. Or there is always some sort of root vegetable puree. I find that roasted potatoes don't end up traveling as well in a hot box. And I don't know where you are located, but what about polenta or cheese grits?
I'd go with potato latkes, it's authentic to the brisket.
Shred and rinse some potatoes, bind with egg white, sour cream, and herbs. Pan fry to brown, finish in the oven, shingle in the hotel pan, and bring to the chafer.
They won't hold hot as well as mashed, but it's easier to figure portioning when you prepare 40-50 individual pancakes, rather than trying to guess at mashed potatoes.
How about cutting out potatoes altogether and doing lots and lots of yorkshire puds. I think you do similar in US n call them popovers. They can be made the day before n warmed. Then u can do some starchy veg. Glazed parsnips will hold well.
If You want a potato thing, mashed potatoes and swede (rutabaga?) with lots of butter and pepper would work.In Scotland we call it Clapshot.
They don't want the same items as last year.
Thanks to all who replied, but I was just told that they would like a rice dish for their starch this year. Happy Cooking to one and all!!
I'm late to this party since you've already decided on a rice dish, but I wanted to add a comment. I've been asked for twice baked potatoes for 3 different parties this season. I thought that was a little strange since I've never offered them before. Comfort food in a bad economy, maybe?
Thanks lentil, but i am relieved they asked for a rice dish, because the other menu items are numerous and time consuming enough.
I agree! I'd take a rice dish over twiced baked, too!
The party was a huge success, I served what I named "Emerald Rice" for the starch and they loved it, it was basmati rice (made with chicken stock) with chopped scallions, Italian Parsley and Pistachios (?). I am so glad I decided not to do a potato dish for a starch again, this was soooo simple.
Happy New Years to all the foodies!!
I know I'm late to reply, but just wanted to say that your recipe caught my attention and I would love to try it once. Thanks for sharing it!
I am also late replying to your post - I hope you like it as much as they did!!

Wow! This powered WiFi Antenna really works!
We recently installed one on our motorhome before a trip to Wyoming, Montana and Alberta. In many of the parks that said that we would have to come to their office to get WiFi we received a great signal from our site with the antenna. In fact, we often times got free signals from motels 2-3 blocks away.

MAJOR-GENERAL GOH SI HOU, Chief of Army.
The Singapore Army will be reviewing the scope of its military exercises, redesigning training programmes and even removing certain courses as part of the lowered training pace in the next few months to focus on safety, said Chief of Army Goh Si Hou yesterday.
For instance, some confidence courses from command schools will be removed as the army reviews training activities across units and prioritises the key ones.
It will also be redesigning its training to be more focused on its objectives and to be better able to spread out the intensity of the training, so soldiers can prepare better and training can be conducted effectively.
As part of the lowered tempo, this year's Exercise Wallaby, the largest overseas training exercise for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), could be scaled back, said Major-General Goh.
"We are looking at re-scoping the scale of our exercises, including our overseas exercises... so that we can really free up capacity and allow every unit to focus on their training," he added.
The army chief was speaking to reporters after a meeting of 750 commanders, comprising both active and operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen), at Pasir Laba Camp.
Chief of Defence Force Melvyn Ong had gathered the commanders following the death of actor Aloysius Pang, 28, on Jan 23.
For other training activities, we will lift (the timeout) as and when we are satisfied that the reviews are completed. We expect that there will be selective training activities that will require more time, and that will be lifted as and when the reviews are completed.
MAJOR-GENERAL GOH SI HOU, Chief of Army, on how the safety timeout will be lifted progressively from next Friday.
Corporal First Class (NS) Pang died four days after he was seriously injured while doing repair work in a Singapore Self-Propelled Howitzer during an exercise in New Zealand.
On Jan 24, Lieutenant-General Ong announced the unprecedented move to reduce training tempo - referring to the duration, frequency and intensity of training activities - across all three services to free up time and space to focus on safety.
All services have been tasked to review how they would lower their training tempo after the army lifts its safety timeout, which has been imposed since Jan 23.
Maj-Gen Goh said yesterday the safety timeout will be lifted progressively from next Friday, with the resumption of classroom training, physical training, small arms live-firing, as well as the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and IPPT Preparatory Training for NSmen.
"For other training activities, we will lift (the timeout) as and when we are satisfied that the reviews are completed. We expect that there will be selective training activities that will require more time, and that will be lifted as and when the reviews are completed," he added.
Maj-Gen Goh said the army has taken a more structured and inclusive approach to its latest safety timeout, which is reportedly at least the seventh time it has been triggered by the SAF since 2008.
Besides having units conduct their safety reviews, soldiers have also been "actively involved" in giving their feedback and raising suggestions to enhance safety on the ground, said Maj-Gen Goh.
Soldiers have also been encouraged to report unsafe practices to their commanders or to the army safety hotline.
Lieutenant-Colonel Deborah Koh, 37, who commands the 16th Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Battalion, said that her unit is looking at strengthening the "safety instinct" in every soldier.
"Safety is not just a command responsibility, but everyone's job," she added. "So, it is important to educate them to look out for one another, not to take shortcuts, and to discard this mentality of 'it will not happen to me'."

A slowdown in net restaurant growth being the main culprit.
