Diary of a Miner: Day 46: Today saw the first blow against the unknown!
Day 46: Today saw the first blow against the unknown!
I woke up early, with my mind set on a single task: to destroy the portal! I packed my bag; some food, the TNT, a redstone fuse and lever, the book I found (for some reason...), the diamond pickaxe, and then I took up my bow and quiver! I left Chiron at home this time; with him running around, and me making use of explosives, I couldn't guarantee his safety. I said my farewells, hoping they would not be my last and locked him in the house after securing the porch. I then moved towards the pier, with only one thing in mind. I think it's the most concentrated I've been for a very long time! I placed the bag into the chest already on the boat, picked up the oars and began rowing to the island. It was like I was on autopilot; I was adamant that at the end of the day, there would be no portal, and no way back into the temple! After just under an hour, I had made it to the island; the tents were still there as if nothing had happened; no sign of any zombies of creatures spilling from the entrance! My only hope was that they didn't know what I was doing and stayed in the temple! I stepped from the boat, taking the bag from the chest and ensuring I had everything! Today was going to start with a bang!
I descended the stairs, seeing the light at the base of the tunnel. This staircase, I recalled, lead directly from the back of the portal. All I had to do was rig up some TNT, blow it up and ensure that it was out of action. The return to the surface and destroy the entrance... easy! As I got closer, I noticed the dark purple surface of the obsidian, and I readied the TNT! The whole place made me shudder with fear; I wanted to do this as quickly as possible. I positioned the TNT atop the main platform of the portal and wired it up, placing the lever a few feet back up the staircase! There was enough TNT there to ensure it never worked again, but I had my doubts; TNT was largely ineffective against obsidian at the best of times! If it failed, I could hammer away at it with the diamond pickaxe to ensure it was never repaired! After a few minutes, I had everything prepared, and I attached the other end of the redstone fuse to the flint lever! Pulling it, I closed my eyes and covered my ears and waited for the bang! When it went off, it was like music to my ears!
After the shaking had stopped, I opened my eyes and looked down where the portal had been! Nothing! There didn't seem to be a trace of the portal at all! Standing up, I removed my hands from my ears and looked around the base of where the portal had been, only to see a sizeable hole in its place! I walked down the remnants of the staircase, and observed the portal from the other side; the only remains of the portal hung precariously from the ceiling! This portal wasn't going to be used ever again!
I pulled the lever and took cover behind the tree, eyes closed, and fingers in ears! Once again, a huge roar managed its way past them and a thunderous shaking began and then eased off! After awhile, I opened my eyes and looked at the remains of the entrance! I could hear running water, and went to investigate!
The entire entrance had disappeared completely! All that remained were the two torches which stood as reminders to its existance! I dug these out of the ground, and watched as mass amounts of water poured down into the tunnel! In a matter of minutes, the entire tunnel network would be flooded and there wouldn't be anything left alive down there! I made my way back to the tents, and readied my flint lighter! I had decided that I was going to burn them this time. I didn't want there to be any trace of their existance, nor that of any people being here at all! When I got to the tents, I went back through the chests that were there, making sure I had taken everything of use, and then I set fire to the fabric of both tents! I watched awhile as the tents quickly went up, along with the contents! After an hour, there was nothing left of the tents apart from a smouldered patch of grass that would easily regrow in time! Before I left, I went over to the dig site, wondering if it was necessary to fill this in with water as well, but as I peered down, I noticed a trickle of water had already begun seeping through the ruined entrance! The water from the entrance had seeped through to the other side already! I didn't think it possible, but the amount of water, combined with the pressure must have forced it up the numerous passageways and stairs! I left the site and went back over to the boat, putting the useful stuff into the chest and getting in. It was going to be a boring journey back, now that I didn't really have anythign to do.
I've just read through the book again, and this THEROS mentions my mine! I think they're referring to the open-cast mine I started awhile back, but never really managed to get into! They said that there is likely to be another portal near to the mine! Are they referring to the small tunnel I found which I barricaded off? No, wait they can't be... They said that only the portal I destroyed was protected. The other portals were likely to be contained in small chambers that were not protected... This is probably to reduce the chance of them being found... which meant I had to continue digging! At least I have something to do for the next few days... So long as the hooded figure doesn't know what I've done, and tries to come after me! For now, I'm going to rest with Chiron; I think I've earned it!

My original goals have changed over the years, I have been a home economics teacher and a financial planner.
My true goal is to be the best healer I am capable of being. My process of personal growth has just begun.
The same “obstacles” that prevented my having an “average” life and a steady income actually led me to most valuable achievement, a Reiki Master degree.
Upon delivery a few days later, (with no difficulty, and mother very relaxed) the little man let out a healthy wail, and proceeded to empty his bladder upon the doctor – with no problems at all. The doctor proclaimed he did not require surgery.
The young lady’s brother-in-law took Reiki training with me shortly after the delivery and when I asked him about her health and the baby’s, he immediately KNEW that Reiki was the reason for the baby’s miraculous self-healing. Thanks be to God.
Give Michael a ring to make your Reiki Appointment !

Wondered if anyone has driven a new Renault Scenic with the new parking brake, with hand controls. Am currently driving an automatic Scenic with handcontrols and am looking to replace later this year, on looking at the new models it seems that they now come with no handbrake as such. Instead they have an automatic parking brake with a switch on the right hand side of the dashboard. My hand controls are also on right side, and I have concerns for hill stops/starts etc.
The salesman said they were very popular but had not sold to anyone with handcontrols, he is going to speak to the mobility people who install the controls and get back to me next week.
I've never driven a Renault, but I have always driven with hand controls.
I've always understood that (legally) if you use handcontrols, you should always have one hand on the steering knob. That would be pretty tricky, if you needed to keep the brake depressed with the other hand, whilst you're switching on the parking brake, wouldn't it? Or am I being a bit dim?
Thats my problem, both controls will be on the same side, and I have quite small hands really. The salesman is getting back to me tomorrow after talking to the mobility people so will let you know what he says.
By pure coincidence I have been looking at the Grand Scenic today as I am looking to upgrade my Scenic Fiji in the next couple of months.
The automatic parking brake enagages immediately the moment the ignition turns off. It releases the moment you accelerate to drive off again. It can also be engaged manually using a botton on the dashboard for example on hill starts or waiting in traffic.
I'm assuming that this is an electric switch or button. If so would it not be possible to have it resited to a different area of the dashboard or even incorporated into the hand controls. There's usually a few redundant switch cutouts in most cars unless you have all the bells and whistles fitted.

Chlorella is most popular for having the highest amount of chlorophyll of any identified plant. Chlorophyll is what gives crops its green color, and is a strong antioxidant and cleaning agent because it promotes detoxing of the liver and digestive tract.

Spirulina is hottest for being rich in complete protein and vitamin B12, providing all important amino acids and containing as much as 70% protein! Being one of many only plant meals sources offering B12 and an ideal protein profile makes this blue-green algae a very unique and nutritionally dense complement option for vegetarians and vegans. Just like chlorella, spirulina additionally has an abundance of vitamins and minerals, together with a wealthy supply of antioxidant beta carotene, B vitamins, iron, calcium and important fatty acids.
In truth, spirulina has one of the rarest types of important fatty acids, gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which could be very troublesome to find in meals and is understood for its anti-inflammatory benefits.

Because of its completely digestible cell wall, the abundance of vitamins that spirulina gives are highly bioavailable, which means its very straightforward for the physique to soak up them.
8. Each promote intestine health. Chlorella and spirulina both help healthy digestion and good micro organism within the gut.

An attempt to repopulate Horsburgh Island with the endangered Cocos buff-banded rails has proved successful, with the birds breeding well and stretching their wings.
For many years, these small ground-dwelling birds only survived in Pulu Keeling National Park, on North Keeling atoll in the Cocos Islands. In 2005 a recovery plan recommended an attempt should be made to reintroduce the rail to at least one island in the in the Cocos group. Horsburgh Island, a 1km square island in the southern atoll, was selected. It is relatively isolated, uninhabited and not visited much. It also has some remaining area of natural vegetation, a small lagoon, no feral cats and no black rats. In the past, rails persisted longer on Horsburgh than on any other island in the southern atoll.
In April 2013, 39 buff-banded rails were translocated from Pulu Keeling to Horsburgh, and by August of that year we had spotted the first rail chicks. Surveys in October 2014 showed us the rails now occur throughout the island, and from monitoring we estimate a population of about 54 birds. We will soon install additional remote sensing equipment, thanks to $15,000 in Australian Government funding recommended by the Threatened Species Commissioner. The new gear will help our rangers keep a close eye on the population, to make sure predators such as feral cats and rats have not reached Horsburgh Island.
The return of rails to Horsburgh Island has delighted many Cocos residents, and may in the longer term inspire restoration of the original vegetation and birdlife that once characterised these extraordinary islands. However, Horsburgh is small. At least two birds have literally spread their wings, moving off to other islands. Time will tell if the birds will re-colonise other islands – but in the meantime, Horsburgh Island and Pulu Keeling National Park are providing great safe havens for this endangered bird.

This last weekend was one of the most important milestones in Taylor’s Navy journey. Power School is, from what I heard, the hardest part of nuclear power school and my boyfriend graduated 2nd in his class with a 3.88 GPA. To say the least, ya girl is proud…really proud.
I was not missing this graduation for the world so I drove down with my mom and it was probably the longest 14 hours of my life. We met up with Taylor and his family at a hotel close to base.
It had been about 4 months since I had seen Taylor and happiness does not even begin to express what I felt when seeing him again. It almost didn’t feel real.
We all went out to eat and then me and Taylor went back to our hotel room for awhile just to hang out until he had to leave to go back to base. Our room was really nice but nothing worked. Taylor, the kid who is about to graduate a portion of nuclear engineering school, couldn’t figure out how to turn on the light. I finally figured it out, made fun of him and then we tried to turn on the TV. Turns out the TV didn’t work either… so me and T were crammed behind the dresser that the TV sat on bickering about how to fix it when we realized that the hall light had to be on in order for the TV to work. It didn’t stop there either. We both had to take showers but when we turned it on the drain didn’t really drain anything so by the time we were both done the bath tub was completely filled with water. We figured it would drain in the morning so Taylor left to go back to base and that was that.
I wake up the next morning and the bath tub was still completely filled…uh-oh. At breakfast I asked Taylor’s mom if they had problems with the shower and she said no but came into our room to help me out. We sat in the bathroom for awhile, sticking our forearms into the nasty water to try and figure out this drain while cracking up laughing. After a call to the front desk (my phone didn’t work either so Taylor’s mom had to call on her room’s phone), we figured out you had to twist and full up on the drain…great.
After all of that excitement came his graduation. We woke up at the crack of dawn to get good seats and I sat with his parents until the ceremony started.
It started to rain when he finally crossed the stage but I don’t think any of us cared. We all stood front row and his mom was taking video while I took the pictures.
I spent the rest of that day and a little of the next just hanging out with him, my mom and his family. I was really tired from waking up so early but I was so so so happy.
Then I had to say goodbye and I swear these goodbyes get harder and harder every time. But the beautiful thing is that I share something so lovely and wonderful with another human being. I have something that makes saying goodbye so awful. I have someone that I can be proud of. And the best part of all of this is that one day there won’t be anymore goodbyes. Just goodnights.

"open photos to see your photos in this list"
and the last file (which you can see is a video clip). When I try to open it in QuickTime though, it won't open.
What is the error message in QuickTime Player?
In QuickTime Player go to the Window menu and select "Show Movie Inspector"
The Inspector will show you the codec for the Video in the Format line.

India’s one-fourth of the sugar mills from Uttar Pradesh and 45 percent from Maharashtra have started crushing sugarcane. The state’s sugar output is sharply lower due to delayed start in sugarcane crushing by mills this season.
Samajwadi Party (SP) National President Akhilesh Yadav said, “BJP government in UP is ignorant about agriculture and farmers issues. Agriculture experts have advised to start wheat cultivation by November 20. How will the farmers sow wheat when they still have sugarcane in their fields awaiting the start of cane crushing by mills? This will lead to losses for farmers.
Akhilesh further added, “The state had 119 sugar mills and the crushing had not started well.” However, Indian Sugar Mills Association has entered into a contract with Chinese public sector company COFCO to export 15,000 ton raw sugar.
According to a government release, export of raw sugar from India to China will begin early next year. India plans to export 2 million ton of raw sugar to China from next year.
Apart from Kolhapur region, sugar mills from rest of Maharashtra have started sugar production before Diwali. Till now about 80 of 180 sugar mills have become operational.

buy cbd oil online - what is hemp Both full spectrum and CBD isolate are extracted from the cannabis plant through an extraction The extract will look like a powder or crystal. Full Spectrum vs Pure CBD Isolate . Therefore, it's important to weigh each product pros and cons and base your decision on. Perfect for manufacturers seeking the highest-quality CBD powder available, Plus CBD Oil's™ hemp-derived Bulk CBD Powder is the perfect. Full spectrum vs. isolate CBD—a debate which comes up in the CBD space daily. Our company makes both types of products and there are pros and cons to each. At room temperatures, isolate is a white powder. . A CBD coconut oil mixture should be absorbable via digestion, topical application.
Joint Pain- This is also hard to quantify because at the same time my cardiologist took me off of NSAIDs because of high blood pressure. So now my joints hurt more than ever. If it helps it is certainly no substitute for pain meds. Surprise benefit- I will continue to take because I am pleased with a surprise benefit, calmness.
CBD oil definitely makes me take time out to smell the roses and stressing significantly less. Not worrying about taking a leisurely stroll through the garden and wasting my time instead of pulling weeds. Yes, I get to the weeding but not at the expense of losing my simple pleasures. I use the isolate, so no THC-psychoactive substance- yet I can see the real world outside myself and not have my health worries bog me down. Dosing is confusing, I find 4 drops daily of the mg pure isolate are plenty for me.
Either 2 in the morning and 2 before bed or just 4 before bed. Yes, I use daily for my knee after having a total knee replacement.
It certainly helps for sure. I highly recommend, use the highest dose you can find. Jump to this post. You are right, the price is ridiculous, but that will be changing.
Congress passed a bill allowing the legal growing of hemp on the US earlier this year. Previously it had to be imported. Hemp has many industrial and commercial purposes beside the oil. The price should drop substantially after next years growing season because of the availability. Liked by Jen, Volunteer Mentor. My sister had knee surgery and after using CBD oil for a month she is not experiencing any improvement. What strength do you use and what is your dose?
I find taking more than drops daily of the mg isolate makes me too mellow and I'm not as productive. I've never used a tranquilizer, perhaps that is the effect it has on me. I now take mainly at night to minimize this and must admit I sleep deeper.
GreenRoads has a new dropper syringe style. GreenRoads prices have exploded. Read pros and cons about Full Spectrum versus Isolate.
However study the difference, the Tincture also contains other elements with beneficial use and pain relief is one of them. But the Isolate also should help with pain.
Perhaps if looking for pain relief would up dose amount compared to what I use. You can put in smoothies but then again the majority is not utilized and broken down.
Don't try the powder chubs unless you want to use a bong and that held no interest for me. Load of info, I started with finding a site which explored the top 10 selling brands and rated according to taste, benefits and price. Yet they have sales and promos for 1st time customers on line. A friend said she called direct and they helped her figure out the best deal. I have read it takes about 3 weeks to notice the maximum benefit.
It's not a miracle, but I think it improves the quality of my life. Also remember prices should tumble next year so don't stock up. I also need to correct, I am looking for pain relief, but my pain is moderate arthritis.
Many medication protocols were tried and nothing made much of a difference. It was awful for him. He is a whole different bird, capapble of relaxing and being affectionate and enjoying his life I am happy beyond words that CBD is available to help this parrot - nothing else helped him.
The advise is always to ask for independent test results before buying - but really a company could send one thing to a lab, and something else to customers. Out of interest, I started my research because I bought some CBD paste to try for my crippling arthritis pain. It was horribly expensive and came from a guy, who knew a guy, who said it was really Endoca, but had no labels. It really worked so well, I stopped Mobic and was walking without a brace.
The shady guys had been shut down when I went to reorder. I also discovered that Endoca is not available in Australia where I live. Hence my research into something hopefully as good who knows what I had and even more hopefully, at an affordable price.
I know I am not alone in my frustration at how hard it is to know what's what in this industry. I use the rubs for severe spinal stenosis and arthritis. My doctor says Young Liiving's Copaiba oil has a higher concentration of pain relief.
Is there a difference between "dietary supplements" and "supplements" - this distinction appears to be made here in the review as to legality? Or is this reference to legality only referring to the difference between industrial hemp derived CBD and the medical marijuana controlled plant?
I've noticed an explosion of CBD products, hemp oils, etc. Could you clarify in a more obvious way these subtle points. Medical use of CBD is legal in many, but not all, states, as noted above, but the products cannot necessarily be legally sold in those same states. Hope that helps a bit. It is tricky and evolving area. It is still not clear to me. Tricky is an understatement. It appears that it was the DEA that put it on schedule 1 in Dec.
Give with caution if your pet is on other meds. You can read the manufacturer's claims. I'm 87 and found the CBD oil does relieve my aches and pains, and clears my mind.
The results aren't like prescription drugs; they aren't usually immediate. People have differing results. There are recommendations for the amount to take and you are wise to heed them. I use Blubird Botanicals and ran out a couple days ago, and I can definitely feel the difference. I expect a new order tomorrow. For me, the expense is worth it.
There are several online sites where you can receive much information. Beware of the Pure Natural brand. It offers a free trial, but in the small print you are signing up for a monthly supply at full cost. The BBB has a report on this. Please note that hemp oil may be made with hemp seeds or other parts of the plant. Commonly hempseed oil is called hemp oil. I meant to say that CBD oil isn't made from the seeds, from what I've read.
In Az medical marijuana is legal with a card from a physician. I didn't see any relief with it. I get instant relief for anywhere between a half and hour to a couple of hours. My pain is reduced substantially while waiting for the pain pill to take effect. I'm NOT recommending anything here, just letting you know how it helps me. By the way, I'm 71 and have been with this pain for over 5 years since the surgery. It is some help. I have ordered Liberty Lixir from Liberty Lotion because other fm sufferers have raved about it.
Anyone used this product before? Her tumor did not grow and she had better capability with her ADLs. The FDA is protecting money interests of Big Pharm, and until they can corner the product for that purpose, they will continue imposing mandates on legal sales. This friend gets if from a dispensary in LA for his grandmother - 90 yo. She is able to walk again. CBD lessens my pain from fibromyalgia and bad arthritis pretty much everywhere in my body.
I went to a health food store and bought some capsules first. But the tincture in dropper form from the dispensary works much better. It does not affect my sleep. I was taking an opiate daily. Now I only need it maybe every 5 days or so. What could be better than than?! I have been suffering with this condition for 7 years. I am now legally registered for medical marijuana. While expensive, it provides significant relief, better than any of my prescription drugs do.
I highly recommend that anyone with Chronic Pain Syndrome consider going through the relatively easy evaluation process so that you can try products currently legally on the market. It has transformed terrified animals into calm and relaxed pets.
Something seems to be working on their anxiety. I have no financial interest. I do buy the products from a Vet. Should be available at most pet stores near you, and online. We will look into this product. The Thunder Shirt was heavily promoted and advertised so we bought one for him and tried it for a couple years. It calmed him a little bit but he would still remain panicked from the noise. Its manner of fastening provides a more secure and tight fitting compression of the animal's chest.

Smoke Exhaust Coming From Your Car? What Does It Mean?
Remanufactured Engines / Car Care Articles / Seeing Smoke from Your Exhaust? What Does it Mean?
If you see different colored smoke exhaust fumes it’s time to pay attention to your car. Even if your vehicle isn’t flashing any warning lights, the smoke coming from your exhaust is a signal that something might not be working properly.
Don’t ignore it, however, as the problem could become far worse. Even a small leak in the coolantcan lead to overheating and serious risk of damage to the engine. A coolant leak can also mix with oil and cause serious headaches for you and your car.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers. We are coming to the close of our extended period here in the US. We really would have wanted to do a little bit more traveling to our sister churches in the area, but it may have been wishful thinking with a newborn in tow. There is always next year God willing.
We are so thankful to God for our new addition to the family. Noah is a healthy, hungry 6 week old with bright eyes and continual grunts and chuckles. He has 3 Moms: my wife and 2 daughters who constantly want to hold him. It is so cute to see our 7 year old hold our newborn, a little person holding an even littler person. Its been 7 years since we have had a new born, but all the long nights, constant diapers, dirty clothes, and blown out eardrums (from crying) seem like nothing with a precious little life in your arms. When that little guy is looking up at you with his bright, twinkling eyes; wow, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. What blossoming potential one can find in a little child. It gives us a fraction of understanding when we think of how God sees us. He puts up with our complaints, cleaning our messes, dealing with our little attitudes; because He sees our potential on the other side of it all. Its a 1 Corinthians 13:12 deal: we see through a glass darkly.
We leave in a couple of weeks back to Malawi. A growing church and Bible school await us. Our parents and friends also co-labouring with us. Many of the church members, leaders, and students are finishing their third year in Bible college which is hard to believe. It is worth so much investing in people. Whatever cornes of the world you are in, if you invest in people with the priceless seeds of the word of God, Doubtless rejoicing will come. It is a promise from Psalm 126:6, and it is so true. For us whether we were laboring in Hungry, Baltimore, or Africa; the relationships we have made bring rejoicing to our hearts. We begin to understand Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:19 when he told the saints that they were his crown of rejoicing. Maybe those are the crowns we throw back at Jesus’ feet, those that we have given the seeds of the gospel.
Lastly, to encourage everyone! Many have looked at us with surprise that we are leaving so soon back to Africa with a small baby. Many people look at foreign missions with fear. But I think that is a phobia that is put before us that we can easily break through. If God gives you a calling, and He has, any place He leads us is Bread for us. Its just another place. When Julie was pregnant with our first child, Callia, I asked my uncle, who was a doctor, “Do you think it is safe to bring a baby to Africa?” He asked me, “Do the people in Africa have babies?” I said, “Yes”. He said, “Then I guess you’ll be fine.” I loved his simplicity, it set us free. We have so many preconceived notions of what places are like because of things we have seen. The world is so much bigger than the documentaries on the discovery channel. Our lives can be a discovery channel. The world needs missionaries, more now than ever. People are much more open to the gospel than we think. They are waiting for us to come and tell them the good news and to love them with God’s love. Its just wrong perceptions that are projected at us that prevent us from just breaking through the fog and finding treasures in people.
We want to thank Greater Grace Baltimore and Greater Grace Christian Academy for loving us so much. We are thankful to the school for allowing our girls to attend for a quarter. It may have been a few short months but it is an eternal investment. Camp Life too, was crucial in their lives. We truly are so thankful at how so many people serve God by loving and investing in people in the church. You have filled the seeds in our seed bank for us to so!

It has been a quiet week at Taunton School International as the students have been busy studying in a scheduled reading weekend, where they could rest, revise and recuperate. The students hugely benefited from this and returned to school on the Monday morning with a spring in their step.
It was a deserving weekend off as they all took part in house cross-country for Foxcombe House on Tuesday. Running with the whole of Taunton Senior School, TSI put in a great performance, with the girls coming second overall as a house.
Later on in the week, the boys then competed in House Rugby under the Foxcombe flag. Unfortunately, they did not win any games but the boys put in 100% effort and made us proud!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A House panel this week asked NASA to explain why it hasn’t launched an independent review of the explosion on June 28 of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, as it did after the earlier explosion of Orbital ATK Inc’s Antares rocket on Oct. 28.
Both launches were paid for by NASA under separate contracts worth well more than $1 billion each, and destroyed unmanned rockets carrying cargo to the International Space Station.
The accidents have raised questions about the U.S. government’s increasing reliance on commercial launch contracts and its oversight of accident investigations.
The two companies are leading their own investigations, subject to oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration, which licensed the launches.
“The discrepancy between the approaches taken by NASA in response to these two similar events raises questions about not only the equity and fairness of NASA’s process for initiating independent accident investigations, but also the fidelity of the investigations themselves,” U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Chairman Lamar Smith told NASA Administrator Charles Bolden in a letter dated Aug. 4 that was seen by Reuters.
NASA officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
In the letter, Smith said both NASA’s $1.6 billion contract with privately held SpaceX, and its $1.8 billion contract with Orbital granted the agency the right to investigate mishaps which involve NASA personnel or resources.
Smith questioned why NASA created its own independent review team to look into the Orbital crash and benefit from any lessons learned, but only asked for a NASA representative to be included in the SpaceX probe.
He said he found NASA’s “hands off approach” to the SpaceX accident “perplexing” since SpaceX is also developing a system to ferry astronauts to the space station.
A spokesman for SpaceX had no immediate comment on the letter, which came a week after 14 U.S. lawmakers told the U.S. Air Force and NASA they had “serious concerns” about the fact that SpaceX is investigating its own accident.
Many of those lawmakers are from districts representing United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co that is facing competition from SpaceX for military and spy satellite launches.
The Air Force last week said it was involved in and was closely following the SpaceX-led investigation.
Orbital submitted its accident investigation report to the FAA last week, according to sources familiar with the issue.
SpaceX had no immediate comment on Smith’s letter.

So if you didn't know already, I'm so excited to announce that the new Bachelor will be..... Jason Mesnick, the castoff from last season. Girls, I know you must be so excited!!! I want to have lots of Bachelor parties come January!!!! Let's for sure play the rose ceremony game online. It will be like our version of fantasy football!!! If you aren't a Bachelor fan then I encourage you to give it a try this season. It will totally be worth it!
Okay...sadly I have had to swear off the Bachelor because of them ALWAYS choosing the wrong girl. It gets me so MAD!
I hope for Jason's kid's sake that things turn out better for him this time. I think that is a sad situation to put a little boy in, but I hope this one works out since Shane and what's his face from London already broke up!
I hadn't heard this, but I'm excited because he's so sweet. I'm in for the Bachelor parties, so let me know!

The growth of the Internet knows only one direction, and that is upward. At the end of 2015, there were over three billion people connected via the World Wide Web – and more are joining every second (ITU, 2015). And even though it has not yet reached everyone, its influence continues to penetrate into new areas. For example, 15 billion "things" have already been digitally networked via the web. However, that is just the start of the Internet of Things (IoT). Experts from Cisco expect 50 billion devices to be interlinked via the IoT by 2020. The potential number of networkable objects has been estimated at 1.5 trillion. This includes computers, tablets and smartphones but also wearables, entertainment electronics, domestic appliances, vehicles and industrial machinery. The Internet of Things itself is only an intermediate stage: In the future, data, people, machines and processes will be linked in the Internet of Everything. Other drivers of this development are cloud technologies, big data and IT security. Together, they are paving the way for the digital transformation of enterprises.
Numerous Internet of Things application scenarios are based on this approach. For example, monitoring and tracking can be used for the early detection of possible problems with goods in transit, refrigeration systems and machine components. Mobile Assets Management uses software to monitor, navigate and coordinate the movements of agricultural machinery, forklifts, excavators and many other mobile objects. Predictive Maintenance Solutions on the other hand rely on hundreds of sensors to continuously determine the condition of equipment such as trains or production machinery. An intelligent IoT-based logistics and fleet management system enables its users to optimize truck capacity utilization, fuel consumption, and much more.

SANTA CLARA — Tight end George Kittle’s and running back Matt Breida’s shoulder injuries Thursday night apparently aren’t serious enough to put their status in jeopardy for the Sept. 9 season opener.
Tests revealed no tears or structural damage to either player’s shoulder, NFL Media reported. Kittle landed on his shoulder attempting to catch a third-down pass 40 yards down field on the 49ers’ first possession of an eventual 24-21 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Breida got banged up in pass protection upon replacing starter Jerick McKinnon.
Other injuries Thursday night were inflicted by defensive tackle Solomon Thomas (concussion), offensive tackle Garry Gilliam (concussion) and linebackers Malcolm Smith (hamstring) and Eli Harold (lower leg).
All players were being evaluated Monday. Coach Kyle Shanahan will address their status in a media conference call later Monday afternoon.
Kittle started Thursday’s exhibition and figures to be a popular target in his second season, which officially starts when the 49ers visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 9.
Aside from seventh-year veteran Garrett Celek, the 49ers tight end corps now will turn to second-year player Cole Hikutini (one catch, 18 yards) and undrafted rookie Ross Dwelley (three catches, 44 yards). Cole Wick has been out since sustaining a knee injury last week.
Snap judgments on the 49ers schedule reveal why winning on the road, dominating within the division and skirting bad-weather games are key for the 49ers in what Joe Staley dubs a 'make or break' season.

It was shown that the structure of powder particles of nonsieved flowing powders is sufficiently dense to produce a continuous surface, which does not allow the particles to jam and hence permits the free flow of nonsieved powder. It was also shown that the representative powder particle, the elementary cell of which can be presented by a 3D-cross, describes the properties of the powder relative to its flowability well.

Our Cadiz cruise port guide gives you information about the docking location, cruise dock, transportation options and much more!
Welcome to the Cadiz cruise port guide. The cruise destination that never disappoints! Cádiz is loved by everyone who visits it. The city is that small peninsula of 1800 by 1200 meter in the Atlantic ocean. That makes is it a small compact town to explore and to completely get lost in. It is a network of little cobble stoned streets where even the navigation officers could get lost in. This is absolutely the charm of Cádiz. It is a maze where there is a surprise waiting on every corner. You can visit many historical landmarks that go hand in hand with unique shops and little squares. It is the perfect example of an Iberian city with all its charm and glory. You are lucky if your ship will have an overnight in Cadiz, because this is not the only the city to visit here. Think about visiting the sherry capitol Jerez de La Frontera or Sevilla, the gateway to the new world in the 16th century.
In the cruise terminal the tourist information is waiting for you with maps, walks and other information. Also find duty free shopping here, free wi-fi and currency exchange facilities.
The prices you see on this picture will give you a good idea of what a taxi will cost you. Keep in mind that prices may change.
This is the cruise terminal of Cadiz. It doesn’t matter where your ship dock, you always have to enter and exit the port through the cruise terminal.
There is free wi-fi in the cruise terminal also the city of Cadiz provides free wi-fi.
The cruise port of Cadiz has been through some really nice changes. There are now 2 new cruise terminal buildings with all new facilities. Cruise ships can dock right in front of the cruise terminal. If you walk through the cruise terminal you walk straight into city centre. If your cruise ship is not able to dock in front of the cruise terminal the port will provide a shuttle bus service. The cruise terminal is right in front of the new town of Cadiz. The old and new town are situated on a peninsula that is 1800 by 1200 meter and therefore best to explore by foot as the cruise terminal is in the city centre and this is great location to start a journey through the narrow cobble stone streets of Cadiz.
Cadiz has a couple of options for you for how to get around. Again, walking would the best options as this is the way to get lost in all of the small enchanting streets of the city where hardly any traffic is allowed.
There is a hop on hop off bus available in Cadiz. You can spot it right from the ship. It is one of those red double-decker buses. It is definitely a nice option to go for if you do not want to walk long distances and planning to stay in the city. They are wheelchair accessible and have their commentary available in 15 languages.
Somewhere hidden in the streets of Cadiz is where you’ll find the central market. It’s been in existence since 1830. You’ll find over a 100 vendors here that all sell their local specialties. Why not join to locals for some wine and cheese.
This castle from the 1700’s lies in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. It is connected to the land by a 750 meter long causeway. Walk the causeway and enter the castle to find out what it was build for.
This square is the first big square you’ll come across if you exit the port. It is dominated by the Monument to the Cadiz Parliament and Constitution in 1812. In 1812 Cadiz was the capital of Spain as the rest was taken by the Napoleonic army. Therefore it was feasible to sign the very first constitution of Spain in Cadiz. This monument commemorates this event. Make sure to have a close look as it is full of beautiful historical details.
Not far from Cadiz is where you’ll find Jerez de La Frontera. This is the sherry capital of the world. Under Spanish law, all wine labelled as “Sherry”must legally come from the Sherry Triangle. Jerez is the centre of the triangle and this is where you’ll find bodega after bodega for some nice sherry tasting. Reach Jerez by excursion, taxi or train.
This is the main beach in the city centre of Cadiz. Although not very suitable for sunbathing outside the summer months it is still a very scenic beach. And fun fact: this is also where Halle Barry walked out the water in her orange bikini in Die Another Day.
The city of Cadiz is like an union. Sometimes you can peel off the layers of history. The roman theater is a perfect example. In the 1980’s a couple of warehouses in the city burned down. Underneath it revealed a old structure. Systematic excavation showed it was an entire Roman Theater. The sight is not always open, but why not try as you walk by.
Built in the Neo-Mudejar style, which is a quite interesting style. The Moorish (Arabic) empire flourished here for centuries. The Arabic style that was used after the Moorish left, was called Mudejar, because it was implemented by the Christians. This way you can still find the traces of an Arabic civilization in this all Catholic country.
In the 16th century it was already the centre of urban activity and it still is. This square is a delight. Take in the atmosphere and visit on of the many Paella of ice cream spots here.
The story behind this tree is that Columbus brought back some seeds from the New World and planted them here. Today it results in 2 gigantic trees in the city centre.
This is nowadays the cities main square due to its historical significance. Back in the days this was the sight of a well that supplied water to the city and where the Spanish constitution was proclaimed in 1812. Nowadays you’ll find this beautiful 17th century church here.
You’ll find a bus station just outside of the port, but please know you do not need it in town. Pretty much the entire city centre of Cadiz is pedestrian zone and the busses only go around. You are missing out if you take the bus to travel the city centre.
You will find the Flower market on Plaza de Topete. It is the perfect location to wonder around the flower stalls.
This is the cadiz cruise dock where your ship will dock hem in port. Read our full cruise port guide on Cadiz here.
This park is where you’ll find all kinds of mesmerizing scenery including the Botanical Gardens. The parks has species with all kinds of different backgrounds, monuments and a (plastic) dinosaur park.

Netflix announced today, out of this year's Toronto International Film Festival, that it has acquired worldwide rights to director Chris Smith's fascinating deep dive into actor Jim Carrey's time spent portraying famed and complicated comedian Andy Kaufman. Using approximately 100 hours of footage shot on the set of Man on the Moon documenting Carrey's transformation into Kaufman for four months. The VICE Documentary Films production premiered at the 2017 Venice Film Festival and is produced by Academy Award winner Spike Jonze, and VICE Films' Danny Gabai and Brendan Fitzgerald.
In 1999 Milos Forman cast Jim Carrey to play cult comedian Andy Kaufman in his biopic Man on the Moon. What followed was an intensely bizarre and emotional film production. Surrounded by Kaufman's friends and family on set, Carrey thoroughly "became" Andy and, alternately, Tony Clifton, Kaufman's obnoxious lounge singer alter ego. Much like Kaufman's comedy, Carrey's acting took on a performance art quality during the film. He never broke character on set, the cast and the crew referred to him as either 'Andy' or 'Tony' depending on who he was embodying (he had created complete and separate identities for each). Here's what Lisa Nishimura, VP of Original Documentaries for Netflix, had to say in a statement.
"For almost two decades this brilliant performance from Jim Carrey has resonated with audiences and fans of Kaufman's, but the story behind the film, a true piece of entertainment history has remained largely unknown. Chris Smith and Spike Jonze have masterfully unearthed and explored Jim's complex and artful creative process, hurling audiences right into the mind of a genius."
Jim Carrey earned critical acclaim and a Golden Globe for the performance, but many of the production's most Kaufmanesque moments played out behind the scenes, thankfully captured on video by Andy's former girlfriend, Lynne Margulies and former writing partner, Bob Zmuda. In Jim & Andy, Carrey looks back at the resulting footage 18 years later, reflecting on how he and Andy came up in oddly parallel universes, his experience channelling Andy and Tony and more broadly the spiritual journey of his career. Here's what Danny Gabai, Executive Creative Director, VICE, had to say in his statement.
"VICE is always focused on telling stories you can't see anywhere else, and Chris' film is an incredibly humanistic deep-dive into the mind of a brilliant artist. Chris, Spike and Jim have made a film that makes us question what we really want in the world, and we couldn't be more excited that Netflix is bringing it to the world."
Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton is produced by VICE Documentary Films, the feature-length documentary division from VICE Media. The film is produced by Spike Jonze, Danny Gabai, Brendan Fitzgerald. Executive Producers are Eddy Moretti, Shane Smith, Tony Clifton, Michael Kronish, Jim Czarnecki, and Nicole Montez. No release date has been given for this Jim & Andy documentary, but that announcement may be coming soon. Hopefully we'll Netflix will release a trailer soon while we wait for word on its release date.

One of the most unusual composers working today is Joseph Bertolozzi. He has created two acclaimed albums of music solely using from sounds produced with two major structures: The Mid Hudson Bridge in Poughkeepsie, NY and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. He did it by using mallets and contact microphones to develop gamelan-like percussion sounds derived from those two large structures. The results are striking and can be heard in his two CDs “Bridge Music” and “Tower Music.” Another artist who has used the sounds of a bridge is the Kansas City composer, Dwight Frizzel. Rather than hit parts of his structure with mallets, he simply attached contact microphones a let the natural sound of the wind and traffic create sounds specific to the structure.
These ideas may seem esoteric and not have much relevance to audio advertising or sound design. But The Audio Penguin would suggest that kind of thinking is wrong. If you are trying to create a sonic environment for an ad (or for other content) then it could be very effective to use sounds from your local area. Kind of like eating from local farms.
And you don’t have to be a trained composer to get some interesting results. There are a number of sound composers who combine real soundscapes to create a soundscape collage. This movement took off in Canada in the 1970s and 1980s but now is practiced all over the world. There is a documentary aspect to this if actual sounds are used without processing them beyond recognition. There is also a music genre known as Musique concrète musique concrète in which everyday sounds are heavily processed and distorted to create very abstract music. But in this post I am suggesting that using actual recognizable local sounds to form ambient sonic environments can be a strong way to reach listeners in a given area.
If one is producing a radio spot or radio program for a local audience, it is easy to play and guitar or synth to provide a sonic background to speech. But that may make your spot sound like many others and lose the connection to a geographical area. Let’s say you are producing a spot for a hotel in an area known for its impressive waterfalls. Why not create a waterfall soundscape collage to serve as the background? This would be unique in comparison to just playing a canned music bed. And one does not have to be a trained composer like Joe Bertolozzi to do a credible job. After all, you are not creating a standalone musical composition but an environment for your spot. People will recognize the sound and associate it with the spot and your area in a way that a guitar track would not cut it.
With the availability of inexpensive very small flash memory sound recorders by such manufacturers as Tascam, Zoom, Roland, Sony, etc. one can go out and record documentary sounds easily. It is amazing how useful these are as most radio news reporters have found. To create the soundscape collage one simply needs sound editing and mixing programs. These are available for Mac and Windows in nearly all price ranges. I personally like to edit each sound clip in a simple two-track editing program before mixing in a larger multi-track program. For this basic editing one could use Audacity, a totally free program for Mac and Windows, though I usually use Sound Forge under Windows or Soundtrack Pro for Mac. You can also create the final sound collage with these simpler programs but I prefer some of the features of more advanced mixing software such as Acid Pro for Windows or Logic Pro for Mac. Many producers also use Avid Pro Tools on both platforms.
If you use local environmental sounds in an interesting way then let The Audio Penguin know. Email me at info@theaudiopenguin.com. You might even be invited to be a guest blogger to discuss your ideas and even show off some of your work.

For any company, its market reputation is critical. In the correctional industry, many companies have been operating for a long time, but one of the companies that have been growing steadily since 1986 is Securus Technologies. The market reputation of Securus Technologies in the inmate communications sector and correctional technology is by far the best, and it is also due to the rapid advancement made by the company in the recent years. The company has developed an expansive product portfolio that includes governmental information management system, inmate communication services, investigative services, and parolee tracking system. The company is amongst the first to devise the method to stop the supply of contraband phones into the prison.
Many of the investigative services offered by the company has dramatically helped in decreasing the crime rate inside and outside of the prison. The monitoring system developed and provided by Securus Technologies for the prison environment has been assisting the law enforcement agencies to keep a track on the inmates and take quick actions if a mishap occurs, which is something that frequently happens in the jail facilities. The company has also been making rapid advances in the field of correctional technology, and the CEO of Securus Technologies has even extended an open invitation to the customers and investors to visit the company’s Research and Development Center based in Dallas, TX.
Rick Smith believes that it would help the investors and customers know about what the company has been up to in the last few years, and how far the technology developed by the company would take the correctional space in the future. The law enforcement agencies and officers greatly appreciate the products and services of Securus Technologies and have written letters to the company acknowledging that. Some of these messages were published by the company recently through a web release.
Gang violence inside the prison is worse than anyone on the outside could ever imagine. As bad as those gang members on when they are running in the streets, they pose a huge threat to me and my fellow corrections officers when we are in close quarters with them inside the jail. Those gang members who are serving lengthy or life sentences have little concern for having additional time added to their sentences for hurting an officer. To try and maintain peace, we have to take certain precautions each day.
My team of corrections officers spend a considerable amount of time each day trying to make certain drugs stay out of our jail. The reason is obvious, but it can affect so many different aspects of prison life. If an inmate can get drugs into the jail, they get high and put the entire prison population in danger. Then you have the gang leaders who force the lower-level members to sell the drugs and kick up the cash, taking all the risk while making the gang stronger.
Securus Technologies has been placing their inmate call monitoring system in thousands of jails around this country. The system enables officers to be able to listen to the inmates conversations in a way that we have never been able to do before. The LBS software will scan all the calls, virtually allowing my team to be in one place and then alerted if any chatter comes up about certain subjects. The importance of this new resource in our efforts to clean up the prison has been incredible.
Now when we hear gang members talking about ordering street thugs to bring in drugs to the visitor center, we take action. If gangs talk about using, hiding, buying, or selling drugs, now we have ears on those conversations.
Why are All Prisons Using Securus Technologies?
Sometimes, facilities need a specialized product, a technology made specifically for them, or a system that allows it to perform flawlessly. This is not different for prisons and correction agencies, who manage some of the most dangerous people in the nation. Inmates committed crimes, and often they continue to do so from inside the bars of a cell, which means that there needs to exist a dedicated security system just for prisons.
For many years, there were not many of those dedicated services, or at least they were either not of the highest quality or overpriced. When Securus Technologies was created by Richard A. “Rick” Smith, he was filling a spot that no one else was investing in, and he founded one of the most successful prison technology companies in the world, being approved by more than five Departments of Corrections facilities.
The company has its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and they act on prisons in the United States and in many important metropolitan centers in Canada where there are prisons that would benefit from the dedicated service.
Securus Technologies, as the name suggests, has the primary focus of finding solutions that increase the security of a correction agency, but the team is also focused on developing communication solutions that use modern technology to keep improving their services.
For example, Securus Technologies found a solution for prisons who were having problems with the contraband of cell phones inside their territory, where inmates were using the mobile communication to talk to their smuggling partners outside of jail, furthering their crime activity. Securus developed a system to control that contraband, and more than 2,000 prisons and agencies have already hired the services of Securus to help maintain monitoring of the jail.
Not everything is one-sided though, as Securus Technologies also thinks on the inmates when developing their technology. Their telephone service is one of the best in the market and allows inmates to communicate with their families and friends with a clean and audible communication, much better than the standards of a prison.
There’s many reasons why Securus Technologies is becoming a preferred method of communications for many. Unfortunately, visitation in jails can often be difficult for people to conduct or set up as appointment times are often taken up due to the particular jail facilities being quite busy. Due to such circumstances, individuals often find themselves being unable to visit the inmates due to conflicts of scheduling in which they have their own set of responsibilities to tend to such as work, school, business, errands, or anything else that may prevent them from being able to make a visit to the jail.
Securus Technologies understands that conflicts of scheduling exists and has created the Securus Technologies platform for such reasons. However, the program has become a great tool for law enforcement officials as they’re now capable of seeing the video conference sessions that take place and can utilize any relevant information that may be used to uncover crimes that are occurring within the premises of their correctional facilities. If certain types of crimes are spoken about over video conferencing, then it’s highly likely the law enforcement officials will be able to use that information to investigate with and continue the monitoring of the areas in the jail where the crime was spoken about may have occurred.
Securus Technologies is a very easy to use program that has been designed and engineered to provide users with easy navigation and utilization. Please don’t hesitate to request information from the customer serve help desk as representatives are able to guide and assist in utilizing this wonderfully designed program that’s proven to be a great option for many people who are wanting to keep in touch with their relatives, significant others, or friends. Do not neglect this opportunity that you have as time can pass you by without even realizing it.
No one likes to think of a relative or friend of theirs being in the prison system. The unfortunate truth is that this happens to many more people than you might think and so it is a harsh reality for many people who are trying to keep in contact with that individual and are finding it to be too difficult. This is essentially why the Securus system was designed and why so many people are using Securus for their own needs. It allows people to keep in constant touch with their loved ones through video messaging service is set up through the prison system.
When I began to use Securus for my own needs, I found it to be one of the best technologies out there in terms of prison communication. Prison communication is not easy because it has to be completely secure and safe as well as reliable so that you have constant contact with the person you are trying to keep in touch with at all times. Because of this, I struggled with other technologies and companies that offered video messaging but didn’t deliver in terms of quality. This is when I began to use Securus and found it to be one of the absolute best companies out there for communication within the prison system.
It has gotten to the point now that anyone who has a loved one in the prison system, I continually recommend to them Securus. Securus is a great option for anyone who has to keep in touch with someone who is behind bars. You will find that it is not only an affordable technology for you to make yourself, but it could also help in a tremendous way when it comes to keeping in touch with your loved one on a consistent basis. You can have access to these video messaging services at anytime throughout the day or night and this enables you to keep in touch with that loved one no matter where you happen to be.
If you are interested in security, I recommend that you find out more about it by visiting its website or the multitude of social media accounts out there that talk about it. I feel that it can benefit you and your loved ones just as much as it has for me and I feel that it can easily help people to keep in touch with their loved ones in a secure and safe manner.

Castleford Tigers welcome Warrington Wolves to the Mend-A-Hose Jungle this Friday evening, with both teams battling for places in the Super League semi-finals. Warrington currently sit in third place, with the same number of league points, 31, as the Tigers. This game could shape how the semi-finals ultimately shape up, and we should be in for a cracking game, with both teams prepared to play entertaining rugby league.
If you have been reading the Castleford Tigers vs Warrington Wolves match previews this week, and you’re looking to place a few bets, then start at Ladbrokes. They are offering odds of 10/11 on Castleford with handicap of -6. For something a little riskier, try Coral. There, you can back Cas to win by a margin of one to five points at a price of 11/2. For a long odds option, William Hill are offering odds of 13/2 on Warrington winning by a margin of one of to five points.
Daryl Powell’s Castleford team have not been the free-flowing entertainers who swept all before them on the way to the League Leaders Shield last season. Fans will not mind that one bit, if Cas secure a place in the semi-final, and subsequently reach Old Trafford and win. Last season ended in disappointment when the Tigers were throttled in Grand Final by Leeds. That disappointment still rankles with many at the club, not least for the manner of the defeat.
This season Castleford, like many other clubs, have had to cope with injuries. Their form has also been patchy. Last time out, they lost narrowly 22-24 at Wigan Warriors. That result fit into a pattern of losing against fellow top-eight teams in recent weeks. In their last six games, Cas have lost to Catalans Dragons, Huddersfield Giants and Wigan. They have beaten three sides who are currently in the Middle Eights, in the shape of Leeds Rhinos, Salford Red Devils and Widnes Vikings. There remains a lingering suspicion that they are folding mentally when things get challenging. A victory over Wire this Friday night would go a long way towards dispelling that impression.
Steve Price’s Warrington Wolves have enjoyed a good couple of weeks. A fortnight ago they put Leeds Rhinos to the sword in the Challenge Cup semi-final at Bolton, winning 48-12. Leeds are far from the force that they have been in the recent past, but it was still a sweet victory for the Wire. They followed that up by hammering Catalans Dragons 56-6 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium last week. While the Dragons looked to be suffering a hangover after their own Challenge Cup semi-final heroics against St Helens the week before, the Wolves still showed commendable quality and ruthlessness in the way that they finished off the French side.
A key battle for the Wolves on Friday evening will be in the middle unit, where England prop Chris Hill comes up against Liam Watts. The Castleford prop is widely seen as the best front rower outside of the England set-up, so he will be keen to put a marker down against Hill. Hill, for his part, is Warrington’s top metre maker in the pack. He has run for 2551m from 337 carries at an average of 7.57m a drive.
These two teams have played each other twice in Super League so far this season, with each team winning one game. The first clash was on April 2, at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. Warrington emerged as 18-6 winners from the encounter, with Stefan Ratchford kicking two conversions and three penalty goals. The Wire tries came from Toby King and Daryl Clark. The match was played in appallingly wet weather, which affected the way both teams played.
The second match was on June 8, at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones stadium. This time, the Tigers emerged as victors, with the final score being 34-30 in their favour. The match was a real thriller, with Cas scoring two tries in the first seven minutes. Warrington responded quickly with two of their own, and both sides swapped tries at regular intervals from then on. The prolific Josh Charnley grabbed two for Wire.
This should be a cracking game at Castleford on Friday night. While many fixtures in the Super Eights section of the season can seem a little meaningless, both teams will want to make sure that they win this game. They could well face each other again this season, either in the semi-final or Grand Final, and will want to put down a marker. They will also want to do their best to try and overhaul second-placed Wigan and secure a home semi-final.
If you’re looking for Castleford Tigers vs Warrington Wolves betting tips for today, then backing Cas to win might be a good idea. We’re predicting that the home side will win the game, but not by much – for us, it’s Castleford by six points.
