I once was asked - why I love bracelets so much. I stopped and thought for a moment. Indeed, although I do make rings, earrings and necklaces, I enjoy making and wearing bracelets more. And you know what I said? "Because it's the only piece of a jewelry which you can actually see on yourself without looking in a mirror".
These Botswana Agate polished nuggets were in my stash for quite awhile. They looked so powerful somehow, so intense, that they scared me a little bit. I had so much respect for them that I dare not touch them. But today was different. Today I looked at them and said: "I can!" And I did. I like that stunning bracelet very much. I actually can feel a warm perception in my heart.
Named for the area in Africa where it is mined, Botswana Agate is called the Sunset Stone because it retains sunlight and comforts people through dark, lonely nights.
Agate is a powerful stone and Botswana Agate is a simply breathtaking stone that can combine shades of taupe, peach, opal white, brown, pink and gray. Every stone is different and some even appear to move as you view them from different angles.
Botswana agate is sometimes called the "change stone" because of its property of helping one handle change in a positive way. It gently helps one make transitions of any kind in a way that change is not as difficult or painful as could be without it; it is a comforting stone. Relief from depression and/or grief is another property of Botswana agate. It helps focus on solutions instead of problems, and thereby increases creativity. It increases the power of one's intuition.
This is the gemstone for people who are sensitive and lonely or easily hurt. It will help you have more self-satisfaction and protect you from hurt.
The bracelet is almost 9'' long. Bead size varies from 18-24mm. Each bead is handwrapped in thick silver plated non-tarnish wire. The bracelet is finished with shiny lobster claw clasp. The cost is only $62 + shiping and handling.

Large quantities of malachite have been mined in the Urals, Russia. Currently, the mining of the Ural malachite completely stopped. According to an eminent scientist-mineralogist G.N Vertushkova on the Urals possible discovery of new deposits of malachite. It is found worldwide including in the Democratic Republic of Congo; Gabon; Zambia; Tsumeb, Namibia; Mexico; Broken Hill, New South Wales; Lyon, France; Timna Valley, Israel; and the Southwestern United States, most notably in Arizona.
Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used malachite for jewelry and ground it to use as eye shadow.

Orange Aventurine is considered a stone of good luck, fortune, and a manifestor of exciting new possibilities. It has been called the "Whisper Stone" since the energy of this stone helps to quiet the critical and judgmental inner voice. Orange Peach Aventurine is said to help with decision making and boosts creativity.
Honey Jade is actually a variety of semi-translucent golden Jasper with a very similar look and mineral composition to Jade. Honey Jade is believed to be a powerful emotional balancing stone.

Eiji (永次) and Momo (桃) met when they were barely teenagers on a forum about anime, Japanese culture, and RPGs. They spent countless nights writing stories together and staying up until their alarms went off in the morning, and in the following years remained best friends. They met in person for the first time in their early twenties, found they were truly inseparable, and married shortly after. Now the husband and wife duo have decided to learn Japanese at home on their own, through self study and immersion of Japanese culture, food, radio, music, TV shows, and video games. This is their adventure.
After watching several friends (at least seven) go overseas for a year and come back fluent we came to the realization that we can immerse ourselves at home and create the same experience. You don’t need to go to school to learn a language. (Did you go to school to learn your first language?) But you don’t need to go live in Japan to learn Japanese. With the internet, we have endless resources at our fingertips. There’s no reason we can’t do this ourselves.
Since starting this experience, we’ve found several people already out there doing the same thing, and we’re excited by that, inspired, and hoping to make new friends in all areas of the learning process.
With Kanji & Tea, we plan to document our adventure through learning Japanese, but also to provide information on ways to study and progress, as well as free resources to help others. We have in the works, Study the Kanji iPod Flash Cards, Bedtime Stories, and other ways to immerse yourself and transform your life using recipes (both traditional and using everyday-if-you-don’t-have-a-nearby-market!), reading, and free resources. Basically, so you have no excuses not to learn the language.
Thanks for stopping by and we look forward to learning Japanese with you!
What a lovely blog! Im also learning Japanese and blog about it 🙂 I think it’s great you guys are learning it together (makes it a lot more fun also). Good luck!
I was just having some tea and I was studying some Kanji and I thought to myself, “wasn’t there a blog with tea and kanji in the name?” So I found myself here, I know you haven’t updated in a while, I hope you two are making a lot of progress with your Japanese. I myself am studying for the JLPT N2 in December. I just want to see what the hype is or is not about. Anyways good blog name! If it was named anything else I wouldn’t have randomly come here like I did today.
It will be available from Tuesday 11th January.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and we would love to check out your iPhone game (and potentially review it here)! I’ll take a look in iTunes and your site right now.
You guys are awesome. Cute blog, the recipes and photos are really great as well.
I hope you stay motivated to learn this fun and interesting language.

Jolt Country :: View topic - Restricting "GET ALL"
Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:54 am Post subject: Restricting "GET ALL"
I imagine that this has probably come up before. A quick glance at HxE doesn't seem to show anything immediately relevant, so I guess I'll post here, if only to be pointed to an older discussion.
Storyteller: The Storyteller probably wouldn�t be too big on that idea.
Veritas: Veritas probably wouldn�t be too big on that idea.
Here, both objects found by the command are NPCs. As there will probably be no kidnapping in any version of Tree and Star, it should be safe to disqualify any character or female_character class object from being found by "all."
The quick fix is to give both of those characters the exclude_from_all property and have it return true, but yeah, you make a good point that characters should probably default to being excluded.
Expect that behavior in the next Roodylib release!
Eventually, I mean to upload a standalone version of Notepad++ that'll compile Hugo stuff out of the box, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Once you've settled on the perfect engagement ring, don't forget to inquire about jewelry lab certificates and appraisals. These are two separate items you'll need to ensure that you know everything there is to know about your ring.
Jewelry lab certificates are typically only issued for loose stones and not for the entire ring. Certificates are also sometimes referred to as grading reports because they give a grade to the stone based on that stone's specific properties.
When looking at the properties of a stone, there are generally four specific areas that are given attention.
Cut: This refers to the proportions and finish of a stone that has been created by a jewelry cutter.
Color: Since all stones, including diamonds, come in a variety of colors, and some of these colors are considered more valuable than others, color is vital when determining a stone's value.
Clarity: This refers to how flawless a stone is. Depending on the stone you choose, inclusions or flaws can have a huge bearing on its quality.
Carat: This refers to the weight of the stone.
Two of the most well-known and well-respected labs are American Gem Society (AGS) and Gemological Institute of America (GIA), although there are other labs as well. Grading reports or jewelry lab certificates indicate whether a stone is natural, created, or cultured. They identify the characteristics of that stone in case of loss, theft, or damage. They verify to the owner that he has gotten what he believes he purchased, not an imitation or lesser quality stone. While the report itself does not add value to the stone, it will attest to the worth of that stone.
The current retail market value of the ring.
A complete description of the ring.
The clarity, carat, color, and cut of the ring.
If it is another gemstone, pertaining details such as color and carat or weight should be given.
The shape of the stone should be listed.
The type of metal, such as platinum, yellow gold, or white gold, should be given.
There are several reasons for obtaining an appraisal. While you should be able to tell the difference between fake jewelry and real, it can be much more difficult to discern the difference between synthetic jewelry and cultured or created stones and natural stones. An appraisal should give the exact details of anything that has been done to the stone and indicate if it is genuine, synthetic, or treated. The quality of the engagement ring you purchase should be a good indication of the price you will pay. This is another reason why appraisals are so important. Of course, you always want to get a good deal, but you also want to be sure you are buying a quality ring.
An appraiser has a specific role to fulfill if he does his job correctly and adequately. An appraiser or gemologist should have gone through extensive training in order to appraise properly each stone or piece of jewelry. He should receive the title of Master Gemologist Appraiser, and he will need to continue his training throughout his career as new developments in appraising arise, such as new diamond shapes and different metals.
Should you let the seller of your ring be the one to do the appraisal? Actually, no. You will get a much better and fairer appraisal if it comes from an independent appraiser. You should not give the appraiser any information about the stone, such as where you are purchasing it. You don't want to sway the appraisal of the stone in any way. You should also have an agreement with the seller that if you are dissatisfied in any way with the appraisal, you can bring the ring back for a full refund. Be sure you get this in writing before proceeding with your purchase!
While jewelry lab certificates and appraisals are different things, they can both give you valuable information about the quality and value of your gemstone.

The remnants of Hurricane Michael — the most powerful storm on record to strike Florida’s Panhandle — swept through Georgia on Thursday on a path toward the Carolinas after leaving widespread destruction and at least two deaths in its wake.
“It’s hard to convey in words the scale of the catastrophe in Panama City. The whole city looks like a nuke was dropped on it. I’m literally shocked at the scale of the destruction,” storm chaser Josh Morgerman tweeted Wednesday night.
Another storm chaser echoed Morgerman’s stark assessment.
“Drove from Panama City almost to Mexico Beach and I can tell you this is the worst damage from wind that I have ever seen! Absolutely catastrophic! You will not believe your eyes when you see it,” Mark Sudduth tweeted.
“Walking thru Mexico Beach to receive my GoPro cam and I’m telling you, it’s DEVASTATED. Truly devastated. Some buildings completely swept clean – only slabs,” he added.
A day after making landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, as a Category 4 monster packing 155-mph winds, Tropical Storm Michael continued to weaken but was still threatening the Southeast with heavy rains, heavy winds and possible spinoff tornadoes.
Authorities said at least two people have died, a man killed by a tree falling on a Panhandle home and an 11-year-old girl killed by a tree falling on a home in southwest Georgia.
The storm’s maximum sustained winds have decreased to 50 mph and it was moving to the northeast at 21 mph. The core of Michael will move across eastern Georgia into central South Carolina later Thursday.
After daylight Thursday, Florida residents took stock of the epic scale of the disaster.
In Panama City, near where Michael came ashore, uprooted trees and downed power lines were strewn everywhere and countless homes were torn asunder. More than 380,000 homes and businesses lost power at the height of the storm.
Vance Beu, 29, was staying with his mother at her home in a complex of single-story wood-frame buildings where they piled up mattresses around themselves for protection.
A pine tree broke a hole in their roof and his ears popped when the barometric pressure plummeted. The roar of the winds, he said, sounded like a jet engine.
Sally Crown rode out Michael on the Panhandle, thinking at first that the worst damage was the many fallen trees in her yard before she emerged to check on the cafe she manages.
Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said some Florida residents may have been taken by surprise by the rapid escalation of the storm.
“It really started as a tropical storm, and then it went to Category 1, then it was Category 2 and before you know it, it was Category 4,” O’Shaughnessy told Reuters.

It was so hot and humid. It was also extremely crowded. There was barely enough room to turn around. And as usual, the idiots to the front and sides of me were either too high, too drunk, or too stupid to realize there wasn’t enough room to dance without stepping on or spilling beer all over the people next to them. I waited. And with my mind’s eye, I watched each bead of sweat travel from the nape of my neck and down my back. Did I mention it was hot?
It was August 1, 2003. Hundreds of us had packed into Bogart’s, a tiny little club in Cincinnati, OH, to see The Flaming Lips perform. We had endured hours of opening acts. When the Lips finally took the stage, the crowd tapped into its energy reserves. And it was amazing! What I had expected to be a plain ole rock show transformed into a carnival of blissful insanity complete with dancing animals, fake blood, giant balls, and an endless supply of confetti.
At some point during the show (I REALLY wish I could remember which song), Wayne Coyne began playing a theremin. Until that point, I had only ever seen theremins used for spooky, outer-spacey effects. A mood piece. I had never seen or heard one used to play an actual song, especially with a band. (Correction: Apparently that little whistle sound in the Beach Boys’ hit “Good Vibrations” is a theremin. I had no idea.) As Coyne’s arms and hands waved around in the air, producing sounds that crossed the line between melodic and psychotic, I was captivated.
A traditional theremin looks like a box with one antenna popping out of the top and one out of the side. The thereminist (yes, that’s really what they’re called) moves their hands back and forth, away and towards the antennas. The proximity to one antenna controls the pitch of the sound that’s produced. The proximity to the other antenna controls the volume. The whole setup works by varying capacitance that controls a variable-pitch oscillator, which is really the source of all those crazy sounds.
A number of “light theremin” projects have appeared in my RSS feed over the past few years. And I had always intended to build one, but only recently did I actually get around to it. What follows is my take on the basic “light theremin”, as inspired by a version from Make Magazine.
Keep in mind that a “light theremin” is not a real theremin. Instead of varying capacitance, it varies the resistance of a photoresistor. And instead of an oscillator that produces pleasant sinusoidal sounds, it uses a 555 timer to generate square waves (PWM).
Below is the parts list and schematic if you’re interested. This project can be assembled in less than 30 minutes, if you’ve got the parts. And if you don’t have the parts, they can all be found on EBay for cheap.
The schematic calls for 6V DC. You can run it off of less. But as the voltage decreases, so does the volume.
Also, there are two photoresistors shown in the schematic. I had problems finding a photoresistor with a low enough resistance to use as an effective volume control. In the video below, I just used a potentiometer I had on hand. A photodiode might actually work better. At the time of this writing, I didn’t have any so I couldn’t try it.
If you have aspirations of building a performance instrument, you should probably look elsewhere. Light conditions vary from place to place. The response of this circuit can be unpredictable, even in the same room at different times of the day. Also, the audio produced is basically a square wave, which is the most obnoxious of all the basic oscillator types.

Wealth tax is a tax on a person’s assets, on his or her net worth. It is not a tax on income, but rather on an individual’s wealth. Targeting wealthy people for taxation is popular among politicians.
In other words, wealth tax is a tax on what we have, as opposed to income tax, which is a tax on what we earn.
In virtually every country in the world, most of the wealth is in the hands of a very small percentage of the population.
By focusing on wealthy people and proposing or implementing a wealth tax, a great deal of money can be raised from a relatively small number of people – so the theory goes.
This may be popular for the rest of the population, because they are told that their tax burden is either reduced or kept down.
Most politicians and some economists claim that a wealth tax helps reduce inequality – the difference in wealth between the top 1% or 10% richest people in the country and the rest of the population or the poorest individuals.
Wealth tax is a tax levied on personal capital, the things you own, your possessions, including cash, bank accounts, cars, airplanes, homes, bonds, shares, jewelry, expensive works of art, patents, copyrights, antiques, etc.
In most cases, when calculating how much wealth is to be taxed, the person’s liabilities are deducted, hence it is often referred to as net wealth tax.
Wealth tax critics say that it discourages creative and hardworking people from being creative and working hard – both wealth-generating economic activities. In other words, if you target the assets of wealthy people, you may be erasing future assets that would have been created if the wealth tax had not existed.
If it prevents future assets from being created or accumulated, the tax is self defeating, because in future tax revenue from this source will decline, critics argue.
Critics add that this type of tax destroys jobs, because it discourages the accumulation of wealth, which they insist drives economic growth.
From 1998 to 2006, France’s wealth tax brought in very little revenue for the government, and triggered a colossal flight of capital.
Most governments that introduce a wealth tax are soon disappointed at the tiny amount of revenue it generates. The world’s richest people have the smartest, best-trained accountants and lawyers. These people are experts in **tax avoidance.
** Tax avoidance refers to legal methods for reducing one’s tax bill, unlike tax evasion, which is illegal.
Across the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) nations, wealth tax represents less than two percent of total tax revenue for governments.
The world’s richest people find it much easier to emigrate than their counterparts further down the socioeconomic ladder. Emigrating costs a lot of money – something rich people have in abundance.
If lawmakers target wealthy individuals too severely, they are likely to move abroad into countries with more ‘rich-friendly’ tax regimes. History has shown that this always happens if the tax burden on a country’s wealthiest individuals reaches a certain point.
In an article published in the Washington Post in 2006 – Old Money, New Money Flee France and Its Wealth Tax – Molly Moore wrote that while France’s wealth tax brought in approximately $2.6 billion annually in revenue, it cost the country more than $124 billion in capital flight from 1998 to 2006.
Argentina: called Impuesto a los Bienes Personales, the tax is imposed on assets above $53,500 (ARS 800,000) at an annual rate of 0.75% for 2016, 0.5% for 2017, and 0.25% in 2018.
France: called Impôt de solidarité sur la fortune, it applies to any assets above €800,000 ($872,000) if an individual’s net worth is at least €1.3 million ($1.42 million). Marginal tax rates range from 0.6% to 1.5%. In 2007, just 1.4% of total tax revenue came from this wealth tax.
Spain: called Patrimonio, it is a progressive tax that ranges from 0.2% to 3.75% of net assets for individuals with a net worth of at least €700,000 ($763,000). Tax rates vary between provinces.
India: used to have a wealth tax. This was abolished in 2016.
Norway: individuals with a net worth of more than Kr1.2 million ($139,413), as of 2015, pay 0.7% (municipal) and 0.15% (national), i.e. a total of 0.85%, which is levied on their assets. The Progress and Conservative parties in Norway’s current government, as well as the Liberal Party say they plan to reduce and eventually abolish wealth tax.
Switzerland: the majority of cantons have no such taxes for people with a net worth lower than CHF100,000 ($100,603), and progressively increase the tax rate on net assets from 0.13% to 0.94%. Wealth tax is levied against the global assets of Swiss residents, but not against the assets held by non-resident individuals in Switzerland.

My sister should have been a winemaker. Even beneath a new pillow slip, she could always smell which pillow was hers. And she refused to sleep on a pillow that had been slept on by anyone else in the family. Her sense of smell as a kid was legendary.
Ironically, I ended up making my living by being able to discern aromas particularly well, while my sister is a high-flying executive, living a rather glamorous life in New York – a place that either freezes your nose off in winter, or smells like a sewer in summer. Funny thing life!
In most vertebrates, the sense of smell resides in the front of the brain. In humans, however, our sense of smell is placed in a protected place on the underside of the brain, armor-plated by a bone called the cribriform plate. It’s as though our sense of smell was placed by design in the most protected part of the brain.
Amazingly, this boney plate is perforated by olfactory nerve axions – basically very tiny, but extremely sophisticated super highways of electrical activity which carry signals from the nose to this special inner-sanctum of our brain. Fascinatingly this is the only part of our brain that regenerates brain cells.
As a winemaker, one tends to develop a heightened sense of smell simply through doing the job – one is smelling and tasting critically for hours a day.
This hyper-sensitivity has its downside. Places and people smell, and some not very pleasantly. It gets to the point where one can smell if someone else has sipped from your glass, because the sweat pores around the mouth are the source of an unusually large amount of pheromones and aromas.
Our system of smell is an amazing arrangement, starting at the top of our nose with what we call olfactory receptors – which are, in a narrow sense, the nasal equivalent of taste buds. But they are so much more than this. These receptors cluster in the olfactory bulb which is a cavern of buzzing sensitivity at the the top of our nose.
This is the place where outside aromas hook up with the receptors. I guess its like a singles bar for loose aromas. The receptors latch onto aroma compounds passing through this upper part the nose – you need to sniff a little more deeply than normal breathing to get the scarce aromas in there. This smell information is then transmitted from the top of the nose to the inner-sanctum of the brain.
There are approximately ten million receptors in this top region of the nasal cavity. When one of these is activated a signal produces a nerve impulse – a sort of smelly twitch, which is transmitted in an instant through a complex set of impulses to the brain.
If you think that’s cool, the only other parts of the body that express odour receptors are sperm cells. These are thought to be involved in finding the egg cell. I bet you didn’t know that.
Although we humans have less sensitivity to smell than many other mammals, it is surprisingly easy to sharpen your sense of smell. A little bit of practise and your brain responds brilliantly. You soon realise you are training your brain, not your nose. This makes me believe smell played a much more important role in our development as a species. Obviously crucial to our survival, our sense of smell and taste must have at one stage been much, much sharper than they are now.
When I studied winemaking, we had a thing called Hell Tuesday – a full day in the Sensory Science Laboratory, training our sense of smell and taste. For the first three months of Hell Tuesday, we just tasted water, spiked with various combinations of sugar, acid, bitterness and astringency.
Thereafter, we were trained to detect different aromas and flavours. Perhaps the most important stuff was learning to detect wine faults. When you’re on the run during harvest you don’t have time to send a wine sample off to the laboratory in order to deduce what the problem is – your nose needs to be able to do that for you in an instant.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this whole smell business is that this receptor area also receives “top-down” information from other areas of the brain. This information helps us discriminate between odors, enhances our sensitivity to certain aromas and even filters out background odors.
This “intervention” by areas of the brain that are responsible for things like arousal and attention helps keep our smelling equipment focused on the information that’s going to benefit us more, at a particular time and in a particular situation. Our nose, it appears, is far more sophisticated than we think. Researchers have been fascinated by how we can filter incoming information so effectively and quickly, it’s almost as if our nose has a mind of its own.
While there is a difference between the ability of individuals to differentiate aromas, this difference is not as a great as one would expect. Far more interesting is the difference between the sensitivity individuals have to certain aromas. So while one’s ability to smell seems pretty equal, some people can differentiate certain aromas much easier than others.
We know our sense of smell is strongly connected to our memory. Specific smells (often made up from a combination of different aroma compounds) can take us back dozens of years to specific times, reminding us of places and people in incredible detail and with extremely accurate recall.
I worked with a winemaker in the Barossa Valley, Australia, who could detect most ingredients in a plate of food, just by sniffing it. He absolutely detested coriander and smelt everything suspiciously in case some dastardly chef had made the mistake of destroying his food with this ingredient. He would list the ingredients with successive sniffs.
“Garlic, fresh, not cooked. Cumin. Lime juice. Italian parsley… smells a bit old. Five spice,” All this, with his nose an inch from the plate.
It was always interesting to see how close he was to the actual ingredients.
So the next time you pick up a glass of wine and put it to your nose, concentrate a bit and listen silently to what your nose is telling your brain to tell you is in the glass.
Because wine is packed with hundreds of different aroma compounds in varying concentrations, you’ll always find something interesting in there. Hopefully the smells will make you want to have a sip. If they don’t, you’ve probably got a wine that has been spoiled by a contaminated cork. That’s why many winemakers prefer screw caps.
A regular wine disaster happens when wine is served in glasses that smell of the cupboard they have been stored in. If your wine smells of Granny’s ancient yellowwood cabinet, all you normally need to do is give it a rinse with fresh water. That usually gets rid of the most offending aromas.
That old expression, “Take time to smell the roses”, may be about slowing your hectic life down a bit, but it has a second meaning. If you slow down enough to listen to what your brain is detecting about your environment from your most sophisticated sense, you may start to see life very differently. I promise you will be a richer for it.

Gorgeous, fascinating and loaded with content, Battlefield V is the ultimate war odyssey.
Battlefield 1 made a striking and successful return to World War I in 2016. Widely ignored in video games, the first world conflict allowed EA's game to stand out in 2016 and it benefitted greatly from doing so. In France, for example, DICE's series outsold Call of Duty for the first time. With Battlefield 1 being able to dent Activision's leadership in FPS market, then, the stakes were high for Battlefield V as it delved into the Second World War.
One huge advantage on EA's side is that Battlefield V has something that Call of Duty doesn't have this year - a full solo campaign, composed of four war stories, each focusing on different sides, locations, and personalities involved in the conflict. The superb introduction sequence, featuring each country at various stages in the conflict, immediately brings with it a sense of grandeur befitting the dramatic events of World War II.
There are also different types of gameplay in this solo mode. Nordlys, for example, features an open and very large map in Norway's snowy lands. Stealth is required to clear the various objectives, as strong reinforcements enter the fray quickly if you're not discreet enough. Enemy IA proves to be very sharp, which makes it a challenging chapter. Still, the map is so big that there are plenty of paths and tactics to be used to overcome the German occupation.
Tirailleur feels more like your traditional shooting experience, with grandiose battles in Southern France. This chapter is even more intense in terms of difficulty, as German troops come relentlessly at you as if the Wehrmacht had infinite manpower. I played on normal mode, but it was nonetheless quite difficult; enemies with flamethrowers in particular are tough to take down and are able to burn you from far away.
But the best thing about the campaign in Battlefield V is how wisely the subjects are chosen. The Nordlys chapter tells about how Germany was prevented from getting weapons of mass destruction (something that few history books mention), while Tirailleur narrates the war effort of French colonial troops who were sacrificed in dangerous assaults, only to be forgotten later because they were not French.
The Last Tiger, which was made available a few days ago, is the most striking part of the campaign me. You play the role of a German tank commander called Müller, engaged in a desperate defensive battle while the Third Reich is collapsing all around you. This must be the boldest move ever in an FPS since you're required to shoot US troops in order to advance. Dozens of Shermans appear one after another in very fierce combat, so you driving skills are tested, and managing both attacks and repairs is another new and enjoyable type of gameplay in Battlefield V.
Like the other chapters, the German point of view is interesting historically speaking. Müller puts his life in danger in nearly impossible objectives, but progressively realizes how fruitless everything he had believed in has turned out to be. The duplicity of Nazi commanders and the dangers of ideology are also shown very clearly, as they eventually ruin everything Müller had fought for. Tricky, impressive, educative and greatly rewarding, the campaign of Battlefield V proves that solo gaming should absolutely remain part of the FPS experience and not be a mere option. I only wish there were more chapters.
Battlefield V may not have battle royale before March, but its traditional multiplayer modes remain among the most ambitious, varied and enjoyable in the genre. The remarkable aspect of Battlefield is its well-crafted balance between various gameplay styles. Every single map is designed to allow both long-range engagement and close combat, so that everyone can enjoy it. In Call of Duty, where maps gets tinier and narrower every year, sniping is hardly possible anymore. In Battlefield V, you can be a sniper without dragging your team down. Maps are extremely large and well structured; there are countless locations from which you can defend or launch a counterattack. Unlike Call of Duty, which is still capped to 12 players, Battlefield V has 32 to 64-player servers, depending on the multiplayer mode. With that many soldiers in such vast environments, you get a real taste of a large-scale conflict.
Tactical gameplay is key in Battlefield V, as soldier roles give several advantages. The medic can revive quickly, snipers can spot opponents and reveal them on the map, the assault class is effective against tanks, and support soldiers can resupply others. The latter is especially important in this entry because you don't fully recover your health when hit, nor do you get a lot of ammo. That is certainly welcome as it prevents a small number of players from dominating the game too much. Besides, it makes things much more realistic. Matchmaking is also fast and efficiently gathers players of a similar skill level.
Battlefield is famous for vehicle warfare and Battlefield V doesn't disappoint in that respect either. There are several ground units (tanks, mobile artillery) and planes available in conquest mode, where teams have to capture and hold designated areas. Progressing through enemy lines on board a Panzer IV or a Churchill is exhilarating and reinforces the tactical aspect of battles, not to mention that several players can cooperate within the same vehicle.
While motorized units can seem rare at times, the newly introduced Panzerstorm map is a dream-like place for armored and air warfare. Located in the Belgian countryside, it has way more vehicle slots than regular maps, meaning you can board one most of the time when you respawn. That also means bigger tank battles, since ten or more units can face each other on the frontline. Last, but not least, you can earn support points during battle, which eventually unlock even more powerful tanks or ultimate weapons like the V1 rocket.
The next strong feature of Battlefield V is its vast customization system. Unlike before, you can completely modify the look of your soldier, and that includes the possibility of choosing a female soldier. There's a quite wide range of outfits and helmets you can obtain with in-game credits or by completing challenges. The same goes for your equipment, since there are multiple skins and liveries for firearms.
It is, however, disappointing not to have accessories and attachments like extended magazines, grips, and so on, like in Call of Duty. Scopes are the only customizable parts that make a difference, but here again the list of options doesn't feel exhaustive enough; there are no scopes above 6X magnifying for instance (whereas you could use 8X magnifying in Battlefield 1, which takes place 25 years earlier!). Needless to say, this hinders long-range sniping.
On the other hand, you do have access to a menu called "specialization" which improves your weapons. By spending in-game credits you're able to secure improved weapon attributes like better aim, superior bullet velocity, or a good old bayonet. Credits are gained when leveling up, as well as by completing daily challenges, and thus far I've always felt like I've had enough and as a result haven't felt pushed to spend real money.
Better yet, this feature also applies to vehicles. Tanks, for example, can get extra weapons or better parts that make them more effective, either against other tanks or against infantry. You can also opt for better mobility or faster repairs. In short, you can really build the dream-like armored unit that will fit your playstyle, and feel like a unique partner on the field.
In terms of graphics and design, it's important to stress that the game is nothing like what was shown at E3 2018. What appeared as a sort of satirical view of World War II isn't what DICE chose to implement in the final product. Battlefield V is instead dead serious when it comes to realism, and accurately depicts the conflict in both solo and multiplayer modes. As in previous Battlefield games on PS4, this fifth entry boasts splendid maps and flawless animation. Autumn leaves fly around you, there's dynamic weather, dirt, and various effects on the weapons, realistic motions when boarding vehicles, and of course the epic sight of dozens of players charging together.
Gorgeous, fascinating, loaded with content, more ambitious and balanced than ever, Battlefield V is the ultimate war odyssey. By bringing a compelling and meaningful campaign to the table, DICE raises the stakes against the competition. With awesome maps, plenty of game modes, equipment and gameplay variety, the multiplayer experience sets the bar incredibly high and guarantees dozens, if not hundreds of hours of fun.

A blazingly inventive near-future thriller from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi. Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge. A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what’s now known as "Haden’s syndrome", rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" - someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated. But "complicated" doesn’t begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery - and the real crime - is bigger than anyone could have imagined.
In the not so far off future, the world is struck with a virus. Yeah, yeah I know you are rolling your eyes saying, “Been there, done that.” Hang on..because this isn’t about the virus, and folks there are no zombies. Well, at least not of the flesh-eating variety. Most folks who developed the virus suffered flu-like symptoms, and many died. For one percent of the population, nearly five million people in the US alone the virus caused “Lock In.” Lock In is a frightening side effect of the virus and appears to be permanent. The victim is fully aware but unable to respond to any stimulus. Imagine being conscious but unable to open your eyes, talk, eat. That is a large chunk of people locked in and no social or ethnic class was immune. It affected young and old.
Lock In begins its story almost a quarter of a century after the virus, that is now known as Hayden’s Syndrome, changed the world. We meet rookie FBI agent Chris Shane on the first day of his job. He is partnered with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two are assigned to a murder that took place at the Watergate Hotel. Science fiction geeks will love the technology, jobs, and abilities of this future world. For the non-geeks, prepare to get your Geek on! Scalzi describes this world, the technology and the changes brilliantly in layman terms without making your brain melt. The tale that unfolds is a murder mystery and has an old school meets technology vibe. Lock In isn’t a procedural crime novel, it’s a whodunit novel, and Chris Shane, sleuth extraordinaire is our future Sherlock Holmes.
Lock In combined two genres that rock for me; science fiction and crime thrillers. This was genre blending nirvana for me as the reader/listener. It reads like Mira Grant’s zombie novels; smooth, easy to slip into and yet has the complexities of the brilliant world in the Others series by Anne Bishop. Yes, peeps I invoked the names of two of my favorite authors, and Scalzi is worthy to sit among them. The world building is spectacular and the murder mystery is complex It was well thought out with twists and turns that kept me guessing.
The audio version of Lock In is available with your choice of narrator Wil Wheaton or Amber Benson. Wheaton did an excellent job of presenting to us the character of Chris Shane. I felt his mannerisms, tones, and quirks. He created Chris just as I imagined him. Chris Shane is cool, sometimes funny; even though that is not his intent. He is brilliant, a natural sleuth and often is very literal. I cannot wait to go on more cases with him and his snarky, somewhat broken partner.
Audible’s audio edition of Lock In contains the bonus novella, Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden’s Syndrome, written by John Scalzi and narrated by a full cast. I found the history of what occurred after the virus hit fascinating, and enjoyed listening to this bonus.
Lock In was brilliant and will undoubtedly make my top ten listens/reads for 2014.
I’ve had this on my TBR list, but now that I know Will Wheaton narrates it I might have to listen to it instead! Excellent Review, Kimba!
This is one of the books I’ve been wanting to get. Scalzi is one of my favorite new-to-me authors. I think I’ve read three books by him this year. I wasn’t sure whether to read or listen, but I think you’ve convinced me to listen, Kimba! Great review!
This sounds pretty freaky! I do like these kinds of books sometimes, even though they freak (and stress) me out I tend to enjoy them. So glad to hear this is good!
Glad to hear this was a winner for you! I tempted to read for Wil Wheaton and the fact that it’s about the “locked in” syndrome! Have you’ve read The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (the memoir of Jean-Dominique Bauby, who had it)? I’ve been wanting to read that one for a while. Anyway, thanks for the review!
No I haven’t but I will check it out. Wheaton was fabulous, and I loved the crime thriller in this.
Will Wheaton is an amazing narrator! I heard him on Ready, Player One and I knew I’d be happy to listen to anything he narrated. And I was expecting the sci-fi angle from the cover but not the crime angle. Sounds different, I’m interested.
Indeed, I loved that this wasn’t really about that..but a crime novel.
A scary premise…thanks for the post.
I like his writing and have been wanting to try it on audio because of Wheaton. I’m glad it holds up to the hype and I have no doubt I would enjoy that novella as well!
Wheaton really did a great job with Chris Shane, he even nailed his unintended humor.
Oh wow! This sounds truly epic. I haven’t heard of this before, but I should check it out further.
Glad you loved it so much, Kim!
I absolutely would like to read this! Thanks for introducing me to it and I will put it on my shortlist to buy.
I’ve read the first 2 books in the Marcus Sakey Brilliance series, in the same vein of sci-fi/fantasy genre– maybe you would like those too?
*scribbles down recommendations for future reference* Thanks Rita!
This was my first read by him, but I will look up Redshirts.
This sounds like a fun if terrifying read. The whole concept of the virus is enough to give me nightmares! I like that it’s got a crime solving element in it. That’ll hook me where the scifi part might not have.
It took me awhile to figure out what was going on and despite the fact that I don’t like mysteries – I really enjoyed Lock In. It was a lot of fun and I loved the (non sexual) chemistry between Chris and Leslie.
I love books like this Kim and it says a lot that the narrator was able to lure you in so completely as well!
I just read that this has been optioned for a TV series — sounds like it would make for both a great read and an interesting show! Might have to check this one out. Great review, as always!
Oh yeah this would make a cool series or movie.
Oh I’m so curious about this one, all the reviews are awesome. At first it’s not something I would have read but now I can’t wait to try it.
No my kind of genre, but I do love that feeling of falling into a book right away.

You can use only the following services even if you get your TSUBAME2.0 account.
You need to apply for fee-based services if you want to use the following TSUBAME2.5 services. To use fee-based services, you have to be a member of at least a TSUBAME group that is associated with certain funds.
As with Kakin group in TSUBAME1.2, a TSUBAME group represents a group of researchers and TSUBAME2.5 users use fee-based services based on this group. Though any users can create TSUBAME groups on TSUBAME2.5Portal, you have to have funds to use fee-based services. You can assign any name whose length is less than 16 characters to a TSUBAME group if the name starts from "t2g". This group name is used for submitting jobs to fee-based batch queues and directory name and Unix group name for group shared disk service.
Based on your account type and TSUBAME group type, a user can be / can't be a member of a group. For example, a non-Tokyo Tech user can't be a member of a TSUBAME group which is composed of Tokyo Tech members only, because charging plan is different.
You can use fee-based services once you set a paying code linked with your fund to your TSUBAME group on TSUBAME2.5 Portal. There are four types of fee-based services, and you can assign paying codes and amounts to use to each service from TSUBAME2.5 Portal.
Fixed-amount batch queue: Enable this option and set amount of resources you want to use, if you want to use per-month fixed-amount batch queue service (e.g. V queue). It will start from Dec. 2010.
Pay-per-use batch queue: Enable this option and set amount of resources you want to use, if you want to use per-year pay-per-use batch queue service and node reservation service.
ISV Application: Enable this option and select ISV applications you want to use, if you want to use fee-based ISV applications. There is no fee-based ISV application at the point of Nov. 2010.
Group shared disk: Enable this option and set amount of disk space, if you want to use shared disk space among members of a TSUBAME group.
Detail of how to create/manage a TSUBAME group is written in TSUBAME2.5 Portal Users Guide (currently Japanese only).
To pay for fee-based services, you need to apply and obtain paying code, enable fee-based services and set amount of resoures you want to use from TSUBAME2.5 Portal. You can set different paying codes, that is different funds, to fee-based services.
Set amount of units per month. You can run 64 parallel processes at maximum with 1 unit.
Set amount of units as with TSUBAME1.2. Users in Tokyo Tech can use 600 hours (25 days) of a Thin Compute Node that belongs to S queue per unit. We named the unit of using a Thin Compute Node for one hour "TSUBAME Point". Users in Tokyo Tech can buy a unit (600 TSUBAME Points) for 5,000 Yen5,500 Yen6,000 Yen. The price is the same as the pay-per-use batch queue service in old TSUBAME1.2.TSUBAME point expire end of fiscal year, The remaining point is not able to use next fiscal year or return to budget.
The amount of TSUBAME Point in a unit and its price differ based on TSUBAME group type.
We charge for batch queue usage per queue types and qsub (t2sub) options using this TSUBAME Point. Cost for running a batch job is calculated by the following fomula.
Coefficients are defined as follows.
* X queue need same cost as S queue.
Refer to TSUBAME2.5 Portal Users Guide (currently Japanese only), if you want to know about, apply for or setup paying code and payment for fee-based services.

Eating right and safeguarding your hearing have some similarities. It’s hard to know where to begin even though it sounds like a good idea. This is especially true if you don’t consider your daily environment to be very noisy and there aren’t any noticeable dangers to your ears. But everyday life can put stress on your ears and your senses, so your auditory acuity can be maintained if you apply these tips.
If you want to continue to enjoy the sounds around you, you should do everything you can to slow down the impairment of your hearing.
Using hearing protection is the most sensible and simple way to safeguard your ears. This means taking basic actions to minimize the amount of loud and damaging noises you’re subjected to.
But when to wear hearing protection is the question. We’re used to associating harmful noise with painful noise. But much lower levels of sound can damage your ears than you might believe. After only a couple hours, for instance, the sounds of traffic are enough to damage your hearing. Knowing when sound becomes harmful, then, is a vital step in safeguarding your hearing.
95-100 dB: This is about the sound level you’d get from farm equipment or the normal volume of your earbuds. After around 15-20 minutes this level of noise becomes harmful.
85 decibels (dB): After around two hours this level of sound is damaging.This is the volume of sound you’d expect from a busy city street or your hairdryer.
Over 100 dB: Your ears can be very rapidly injured by this. Damage is done in about thirty seconds with sounds over this limit. Jet engines and rock concerts, for example, can injure your ears in around thirty seconds.
We can take steps to minimize our exposure, now that we have a concept of what levels will be dangerous. The trick is that, once you’re out and about in the real world, it can be challenging to measure what’s loud and what isn’t.
Having a live sound meter with you will help you measure everything you’re hearing in decibels, so you’ll have a far better idea of what dangerous levels actually sound like in your everyday life.
A smartphone with earbuds is usually the way people listen to music nowadays. This sets up a dangerous situation for your hearing. Over years of use, earbuds set to a sufficiently high level can cause significant damage to your hearing.
That’s why protecting your ears means keeping a focused eye on your volume control. You should not raise the volume to drown out noises somewhere else. in order to make sure that volume doesn’t get too high, we recommend using volume configurations or app settings.
Earbud use can become a negative feedback loop if your hearing begins to wane; you could find yourself constantly raising the volume of your earbuds in order to compensate for your faltering hearing, doing more harm to your ears in the process.
You might think that having a hearing exam is something you do only when your hearing begins to diminish. The problem is that it’s not always easy to identify a problem in your ears without a standard to compare results to.
Scheduling a hearing screening or exam is a great way to obtain data that can be used for both treatment and diagnostic purposes, making certain that all of your future hearing (and hearing protection) choices have some added context and information.
It would be perfect if you could constantly safeguard your hearing without any difficulty. But challenges are will always be there. So safeguard your hearing when you can, as often as possible. You should also have your hearing tested routinely. Put these suggestions into practice to improve your chances.

RAWAI: Long-term Phuket resident Erika Perschbacher was found passed away in her Rawai home on Sunday. She was 69 years old.
Erika, a retired German nurse affectionately referred to by locals as “Mama”, was described by those close to her as wonderful, selfless and caring.
During her nine years in Phuket, Erika took it upon herself to provide a home for stray cats on the island and help nurture diseased animals back to health.
Erika usually donned a red cap when she left her house and was frequently seen carrying around her favorite cat Gypsy in a basket. Often she would bring Gypsy to the pub to keep her company while enjoying her evening drink.
She leaves behind eight cats, and has left most of her estate to a local Thai named K. Mon, who works as a housekeeper at a local hotel. K. Mon will take over the house, but will not keep the cats.
While a small provision has been made for the care of the cats in Erika’s will, the best thing would be to find new caring homes for them, said her friend Joan Watson of the Phuket International Women’s Club, of which Erika was a fundraiser and honorary member.
Anyone interested in adopting one of Erika’s cats is urged to call 087-2820422 or K. Mon at 081-8916290.

text: Orlando, written as a romp, a love letter, a gay book in every sense of the word, turned out to be the engine of an exploding freedom in her style. Writing Orlando did Woolf good. Begun as a gift to Sackville-West it became a gift to herself. It is the most joyful of her books. Woolf’s mind was always first-rate, but when she came to write her next book, A Room of One’s Own (1929), she carried across the full-heartedness of Orlando. A Room of One’s Own is a masterpiece because it is more than a polemic; when she writes about women, about men, about the interplay of the mind, about creativity – above all, about writing – all her thoughts are steeped in feeling.

Social media, is playing a huge role with 62% of millennials saying that if a brand engages with them on social networks, they are more likely to become a loyal customer.
So how do you tap into the revenue potential?
Take it from one online content creator who recommends using organic growth, and timely content, starting off the season strong with swoon-worthy Halloween-themed content across all of her social channels.
Meet Kayla Gallagher, a social media influencer known for her innovative and adorable culinary creations @pankobunny that have amassed a following of over 300k across Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, as well as over 300M+ views. Her content, has been featured on Tastemade, a global food lover’s network that generates 2B views per month, and in 2016, she was named one of Canada’s next up and coming YouTube stars.
This week on the Unconventional Life Podcast, Gallagher shares how businesses can leverage the holiday season to generate brand loyalty and faster growth organically.
Below, learn several ways you can increase your engagement and ultimately your revenue with Gallagher’s recommendations.
If you’ve ever taken to the task of posting consistent content, you’ll know that after a while, coming up with novel ideas is hard work. What do you do when your ideas have run dry and it’s just an ordinary Tuesday?
Luckily, when the holidays roll in, content is built-in to the calendar. The dawn of autumn is a license to start posting about Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, well before the actual dates. Because holidays are so widely celebrated and searched (SEO, anyone?), they provide a great opportunity to help you engage your following and raise brand awareness.
To capitalize on the holidays, Gallagher recommends creating holiday-themed content around your brand offering that will help your audience celebrate the festivities. Gallagher has been posting spooky dessert recipes since the beginning of October. “I ask people what they’re doing for Halloween and make a point to interact with them. It creates a strong sense of community,” she says.
One more great way to generate sales, is to offer a giveaway to your followers for one of your products. It is a great way to get brand exposure and build interest. Philip Henson, founder of the Social Investor, says “leveraging the word “free” is the best and most efficient way to capture attention quickly when building a new customer relationship.” Select the winner who shares and comments the most while tagging their friends to reach a larger audience.
The world’s top content creators are better together. That is, they reach far more people by networking and collaborating with one another. Gallagher says since joining Tastemade, her viewcount and following has surged. “My hot tub french toast post went viral on their Facebook page. It got 27M views in the first day, which was validation that I was doing the right thing. It got to the point where if Tastemade shared a video I made my phone would blow up and I’d have to turn off all of my notifications,” she reflects.
Joining a network of other content creators that serve a similar audience as your ideal customers can help you gain much more exposure. Reach out to account holders with a larger following than you and ask them to promote your holiday-themed content—it’s a win-win because your quality content will create more engagement for them while directing their followers back to your business or channel.
You can increase the shareability of your videos by drawing viewers “into the action” in the first 1-2 seconds. Aim to elicit surprise or intrigue by starting your videos with the unexpected. For example, Gallagher’s most popular video begins with her pomeranian puppy licking the batter out of the cupcake pan.
Ensure that your content feed flows nicely together as a uniform body of work. Select a consistent color theme and take your photos in backgrounds that complement one another. “No odd photos stand out it all just matches. You can scroll through the grid and it all looks nice so when people view your account they know what to expect when they follow you,” Gallagher says.
Lastly, gain more exposure by dominating smaller hashtags rather than getting lost in larger ones. While it might seem counterintuitive, using smaller hashtags can help you rank in the top results when others search them, which makes you more visible. Before you use a hashtag, research how many likes the top-ranking posts have as an indicator of whether or not you’ll be able to rank among them.

“General Hospital” spoilers for Wednesday, March 20, tease that Alex Devane Marick (Finola Hughes) will continue to stall on sharing which memories are hers. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is getting fed up with her sister – and rightly so! Alex needs to just come out with it already so she can get the blindness cure she needs.
Fortunately, Alex will divulge enough to secure the surgery on Wednesday. However, she won’t share everything. Despite Anna’s promise, “General Hospital” spoilers say she’ll betray her twin by handing her over to the WSB. To be fair, Alex isn’t keeping her promise either. She’ll keep one crucial memory to herself, but she’ll give Anna a hint and suggest she can figure it out on her own.
It seems likely that clue will lead to a major Peter August (Wes Ramsey) discovery before long. In the meantime, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will have a suggestion for Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). He’ll wonder how she’d feel about going away for the weekend together, so she’ll probably get on board.
General Hospital Spoilers – Will Willow Panic When She Sees Shiloh?
Sadly, Chase’s plan may go awry thanks to Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin). Willow was once part of Dawn of Day, so she’s bound to bump into Shiloh eventually. Will Wednesday be the day? “General Hospital” spoilers say Willow will go into panic mode, so it just might be!
General Hospital Spoilers: Ava’s Revenge – Search For Ryan Is On!
Until then, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Lexi Ainsworth) will pledge her loyalty to Shiloh. He’ll be pleased when she’s ready to take the next step, which may involve getting that creepy tattoo. Over with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), she’ll tell Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) that things are getting worse. Sam will feel like they have to get a grip on the Shiloh situation before it’s too late.
Next, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) will go looking for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). There’s a good chance he’ll only find bad news at first, but Robert may keep digging. In the meantime, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) will pretend to shoot and kill Sonny. He’ll fool the guard and contend that he simply did what he had to do.
Other GH spoilers say Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) will be on the hot seat. Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) will grill her about Sonny, but she won’t get much info. Thanks to Carly’s secretive behavior, Olivia will realize Sonny took off without telling anyone besides his wife. She’ll just hope that both Sonny and Dante can make it home alive.
Thankfully, Olivia will get her wish! Dante and Sonny will indeed fight their way back to Port Charles as soon as possible. We’ll give you updates as other details and rumors emerge. Stick with ABC’s GH and don’t forget to check Soap Opera Spy often for the latest “General Hospital” spoilers, rumors, updates and news.

Journaling users in a database using Exchange 2010 standard license.
I have a journaling setup for compliance reasons and connected to 1 database. All users in this database have all their e-mail sent using this journaling rule and another one for the entire company.
Here's my issue: I now have 3 users that are in different databases using this journaling rule. 2 of them used to be in there but have been moved out. The other one to the best of my knowledge has never been in this database. Any ideas on why this is happening or how to stop it?
Clean-MailboxDatabase also run this maintenance on this DB.
According to your post, I am not still sure of your question.
I understand you had set a journal rule in your environment.
Then you found 2 users have been moved out from the group as the journaling recipients.
And one user was added into the group unexpectly.
Please confirm if I understand your question correctly.
HI David, I have a journaling rule named compliance in my environment that is attached to 1 database (enterprise standard license). Every user in this database sends all email using this rule. I have 3 users in different databases that when they send mail it shows them using this rule and they should not be, they should be using the company rule assigned to everyone.
Verify that that DB is not configured for Journaling with 3 users.
You can also try the below command to see if this fix the issue.
I did the journalrecipient one and could see the database but not the users. I then ran Get-mailboxstatistics -database name and it shows these users as part of the database but the EMC show they are in a different database.
Would the clean-mailboxdatabase command fix this? can this be done during production hours?
Yes you can run clean-database in production also. there is no impact. but then also you should try in less load on server time. After above comments from you, it will be solved by this.
I think I got it, I ran PowerShell and it showed that all 3 accounts where soft deleted in the database. I then ran the below PowerShell command. This seems to have completely disconnected them from the database. I'm still working on how to view who's using this journaling rule without waiting for a weekly report.

6. Insect Repellent: Mosquito bites really look horrible on the face. Don’t they? There’s an easy way to get rid of them, just mix some coconut oil with any of your favorite essential oil and apply this on the insect bite. Repeat this after a few hours.

Hi, Can anybody tell me How to proceed to solve this problem? It looks like matching with some constraints. Please give me some hints?
I solved this problem and only got accepted after considering the constraint: no city could be an endpoint of more than one bridge. Does the problem description imply this constraint ? If anyone got accepted without considering such a constraint, I would appreciate telling me briefly his algorithm to look for my bug, if any.
/* in this solve function I use algorithm like coin change algorithm.
here, I create a table.
Be careful of the boundary condition.

The Met Office has shown it can predict the weather one year in advance with its new £97 million supercomputer.
Scientists believe they can now forecast with some accuracy the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) weather phenomenon in the Atlantic Ocean which largely governs the British winter.
The phenomenon forms because of low-pressure over Iceland and high pressure over the Azores in the Atlantic.
A large pressure difference brings increased westerly winds, cool summers and mild, rainy winters. In contrast when the difference is small there are fewer winds and Britain shivers in a big freeze during the winter months.
It was previously thought that the NAO was a chaotic system which could not be predicted but the Met Office has used a technique called ‘hindcasting’ to check whether their new supercomputer could have predicted past winters.
After looking back at weather data going back to 1981, they discovered that they could largely predict what the winter weather would have done for the past 35 years, a year in advance, with 42 per cent accuracy.
The scientists say it could allow governments, healthcare services and the energy and transport sectors to plan for future needs and ‘weights the dice’ in favour of making more accurate long term predictions.
Dr Nick Dunstone, the Met Office’s lead author, said: “Understanding and predicting the changes in the North Atlantic Oscillation could have significant economic benefits including potential boosts in climate services for a range of sectors including transport, energy, water management and the insurance industry.
“Two years ago we showed we could predict the winter NAO up to one month ahead and that has helped predict river floods, delays at Heathrow, and problems in transport networks.
“We’re hopeful that we can use these one year ahead predictions to also inform planning. They are not going to be as accurate as the monthly forecasts but we have shown that they can spot what the North Atlantic Oscillation is doing.
The Met Office currently only gives outlooks a month ahead of winter, and was able to predict last year’s winter flooding. But the new technique could help forecasters make even better predictions.
Forecasters say this winter is likely to be colder and drier than last year, which will bring relief to families who were flooded out of their homes over Christmas.
Prof Adam Scaife, head of Met Office Monthly to Decadal Prediction group, said: “From as early as last October and November, our seasonal forecast system showed an enhanced risk of storms and very wet conditions for the early part of winter 2015/16 and then a transition to colder, drier conditions during late winter.
The Met Office has faced criticism in the past for its inaccurate forecasts, such as when Michael Fish wrongly dismissed the 1987 hurricane that killed 19 people.
After the 2007 prediction of a “barbecue summer” ended in a soggy washout, the Met Office pointed out that its seasonal forecast offered only a 65 per cent chance of being right.
The new system is unlikely to predict summer weather a year in advance as there are many more weather systems at play in the summer months.
The Met Office currently takes in 106 million observations a day from around the world using sources such as weather balloons, satellites and hundreds of commercial aeroplanes which send back data as they fly between destinations.
The new computer can perform more than 16,000 trillion calculations per second proving more accurate predictions than ever before.
The new research was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

As part of the grand re-opening celebration of the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge Bluff Trail following repair and improvement projects this winter, we have been invited to exhibit wildlife prints taken in the refuge. The celebration will be on March 9 from 10am to 1pm. Look for tents in the meadow at the south end of the refuge or see the poster for more information.
Update: Read the recap of the event.
See our Wild Neighbors photo show at Blue Kangaroo Coffee Roasters in Sellwood (7901 SE 13th Avenue) featuring 16 prints of wildlife and scenics all taken within one mile of the show. Prints are on display through the end of February.
Every one of these photographs was made within one mile of where you now stand. Many of these creatures, all of them wild, spend their days physically closer to our daily lives than some of our friends and family. We share the same city, cross the same waterways, and compete for the same resources. With these images I hope to bring that reality closer to our foreground awareness. Whether we see them or not, they frequently see us.
Update: This show has been extended through March!

So, I have finally figured out how to schedule publication in WordPress. I am writing this on Sunday night, and I’m shooting to have it up on the 19th– Friday. I’ve scheduled a number of articles to go live throughout the week. When you see this, just know that I’ve taken my blogging skills to the next level.

Many podcast hosts provide an embeddable podcast player than you can use on your website.
These act similar to how you see people embed YouTube videos.
You probably wouldn’t decide which podcast hosting company to use based solely on their embed player, but I thought it would interesting to compare them.
There are also stand-alone podcast web players you can use no matter which host you use.
Learn how to start a WordPress blog so you can embed these players!
We’ll take a look at what features are included, what is customizable (if possible), and how they look.
The main purpose of a podcast host is to have a place to upload and store your podcast episodes.
They also provide an RSS feed that you’ll submit to Apple Podcasts and other podcast directories so people can listen and subscribe.
We’re going to compare a few of the more well-known companies (and if you’re considering SoundCloud, just stop now, it’s not good for podcasting) in the space today among a variety of features: ease of use, price, stats, storage, and more.
I’ve used all these services (and tested many more) and talked to people at each company.
There are thousands of different WordPress themes and many different developers that make them, but there really are only a few good theme makers.
And in this post we’re going to focus on a subset of those and look at the best WordPress themes designed for podcasting.
Keep in mind that any theme can be used for podcasting because all you need to do is embed a player, but the podcast-focused themes are designed around your needs and workflow.
You’ll host your audio files separately with your podcast hosting provider and they will provide a way for you to embed your episodes on the proper page. Note that some themes will integrate their own players for a more refined look.
They provide fast, SEO-friendly, and secure hosting for your website with 24/7 support.
Your website is the place where you will provide show notes, links, a place for people to join your email list, additional resources, bonuses, or anything else you want to provide your listeners.
Are you planning to build an email list? You should be! Check out the best email marketing service for podcasters here.
