While I don't have the same artistic talent as our editor, there have been times when I felt inspired enough to sketch out an idea. It happens from time to time when you write reviews. There are artists and designers everywhere it seems — and more and more of them want to input their art into the digital world.
There is only one problem for those people who are attempting to move from fine art to digital: a mouse is not a drawing tool. Most artists agree you need a pen of some sort. And even though there are an increasing number of art apps for tablets, most of them are hindered by stylus designs.
While the brush is brilliant and soft tip functional, some people can't help but wonder about drawing hardware. And yes, that would include me despite not always having much talent.
The Wacom drawing tablet does one thing. Drawing.
The table does more than drawing. It can be used for almost anything, from retouching photos to coloring. The bottom line is that working with a digital input for art is all about control. Control matters more than anything else.
What Wacom has done is create hardware that uniquely delivers the benefits of a real-life brush or pen, so you can control line weight and opacity based on how firmly or softly you press the pen to the tablet. The idea, from start to finish, was to create something as close to the media as possible.
Think of it as a choice between a pen and a crayon, much like many general tablet solutions feel like a brush. While there have been several stylus solutions that attempt to narrow the tip, none of them have really worked out and a few have left tablets like the iPad scratched.
The Intuos is different in that pen and tablet were made to work together. There still is a learning curve because almost all drawing tablets take some time to get used to, given it is like drawing in a mirror with the image appearing on the screen while you are drawing on a different surface.
The only way around it is to invest in a professional grade Cintiq by Wacom (which pros will swear by). But for most people, it's not necessary. And there are still a few designers who trained themselves to work from the screen and now prefer it.
A few words about Wacom and CEO Masahiko Yamada.
Back in 1983, Wacom was a very small company. But what was interesting about it was that the people there were already thinking about pen-screen capabilities, including pressure technologies. The idea is pretty amazing when you consider that computing was still in its infancy.
One of those forward-looking people includes CEO Masahiko Yamada. Seeing into the future, he believes that computer technology will become as commonplace as refrigerators and general appliances. They will be readily available as life supporting tools, but not disruptive nor intrusive to anyone's sense of privacy. In my book, that would be the best of all possible worlds.
Intous by Wacom Draws Up 8.7 On The Liquid Hip Richter Scale.
Interestingly enough, some other companies are interested in Wacom too. Panasonic and Sony both adopted Wacom feel technologies for the Toughbook and Galaxy Note, respectively. The portrait of Yamada, by the way, was created by artist Jeremy Sutton with a Cintiq. Amazing.
You can find the Intous, starting at $229, on Wacom direct. On Amazon, you can sometimes find them for slightly less. For example, the Wacom Intuos5 Small Pen Tablet listed at $220. The tablets are largely priced by size and most artists prefer a larger surface area than the starter screen. For me, the small Intous feels just right. But I can see how some of my friends would want something else.

The setting for 7th Sea, the roleplaying game of swashbuckling and sorcery published by John Wick Presents is the land of Théah. Yet there are lands beyond Théah, which the publisher is only beginning to address with the supplement, 7th Sea: Crescent Empire, which explores the lands immediately to the east of Théah. Yet there are lands beyond this, far to the east—Khitai. Although Khitai marks the return of the designer to the same genre as his highly regarded Legend of the Five Rings, that is, Asian fantasy, 7th Sea: Khitai is different in that it does not dwell solely on its Japanese and Chinese influences and sources. Instead, it encompasses numerous sources and influences and encompasses numerous nations and cultures, from China, Japan, and India to Cambodia, Australasia, and Oceania. Much of the pleasure of seeing these nations and cultures included is that many of them are rarely visited by roleplaying.
The first taste of Khitai comes in the form of 7th Sea: Khitai Quickstart, which includes an overview of the setting and its themes along with a complete adventure. On a very personal level, the difference in themes between Théah and Khitai is twofold. The first is that the heroes—or player characters—are not driven to adventure, but pulled by the Call to Adventure, a very real, spiritual urge to fulfill their destiny. This call is made by the Song of the World and places a duty upon the heroes that is much greater than their personal desires. The second is that in Khitai, honour is supernatural rather than personal.
7th Sea: Khitai uses the same mechanics as 7th Sea. These are essentially ‘roll and pair’, the players and the Game Master rolling pools of ten-sided dice to create ‘pairs’ of one, two, three, or more dice that each add up to ten or more. Each ‘pair’ is a Raise, which are spent to carry out actions in Action and Dramatic scenes. For the player characters, these pools are created from a combination of a character’s trait plus skill, for example, Honesty + Convince or Peace + Brawl. These combinations are called Approaches, which define how a character will do something. For example, Joy + Weaponry if a character wants to smash his way through a Brute Squad—the equivalent of a band of minions or goons or guards in Khitai—using her tetsubo or Wisdom + Mysticism if a character wants to search his memory for what he knows of a particular Kamuy or nature spirit. Bonus dice are rewarded for varying a character’s Approach from action to action and for providing an engaging description of said Approaches. In comparison, the Game Master rolls a pool of dice equal to the Strength of the Villain or Brute Squad.
In a scene, Raises are then spent to inflict or block damage, to avoid Consequences—bad things that might happen to a character, to purchase Opportunities—advantages and bonuses that a character can find or gain in a scene, and to discover clues in a scene. Although the dice rolling mechanic is very much that of the traditional roleplaying game, the application is much more akin to that of a storytelling roleplaying game.
There is one change in the rules between 7th Sea: Khitai and 7th Sea, a rule that the Game Master can import back to 7th Sea if he so desires. This is how Brute Squads work and the rule change makes them much more of a challenge. In combat in 7th Sea, a Brute Squad inflicts wounds, one wound per Raise, which a character counters with his Raises also on a one-for-one basis. In Khitai, when the Game Master spends Raises for a Brute Squad, it does not inflict Wounds on a one-for-one basis, but rather inflicts Wounds equal to the current Strength of the Brute Squad. The character can still counter this attack with a Raise and so block the Wounds.
The 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart introduces the setting and its rules in smart fashion. Barring the change in how Brute Squads work, the Game Master and his players will have no issue with the rules if they have played 7th Sea. Likewise, someone new to both 7th Sea and Khitai may not adjust as easily to the roleplaying game’s more storytelling rules if they are used to traditional games. Even though there is a limited amount of space in 7th Sea: Khitai Quickstart, it could have done with deeper examples of play, especially given the switch it makes from traditional to storytelling roleplaying games. This is because it makes a radical change in the names it gives the player characters’ Traits. In 7th Sea, these are Brawn, Finesse, Resolve, Wits, and Panache—a very traditional set of characteristics and easy to apply. In Khitai, the Traits are Compassion, Honesty, Joy, Loyalty, Peace, Respect, and Wisdom. Now a character only has five of these seven, these five being the ones they value, but they are more conceptual in nature and not as easy to apply on a case by case basis.
There are seven nations described in Khitai, but only two are detailed in the 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart and visited in the adventure, ‘Life-Giving Sword, Death-Giving Sword’. The first nation is the island archipelago of Fuso, known for the rift between its traditional shaman-chieftains and the upstart warlord leaders, or daimyos, the most ambitious of which would rule not just Fuso, but all of Khitai. The shaman-chieftains are also capable of talking with the kamuy, which are natural spirits, guardian angels, ancestor spirits, and so on. In this, Khitai draws from the Ainu mystical tradition rather than from the Kami and mystical traditions of Japan. The second nation is the Kingdom of Han, noted for its scholastic and artistic excellence—as well as the literacy of its people—though riven by nepotism and corruption, including in its military.
‘Life-Giving Sword, Death-Giving Sword’ is a three act scenario, a tale of love, greed, and revenge. The heroes are travelling when they realise that they are close to a monastery where they sheltered before, but upon arriving at its doors, they find that it has literally just burned down. Investigation reveals that it was no accident and worse, an ancient and mystical blade is missing. Duty bound, the heroes must follow the thief across Fuso and beyond, harried by assassins and bandits along the way. Alongside the combat, there are scenes involving investigation, persuasion, and negotiation, so there is plenty of opportunity for the heroes to exercise their skills and do so creatively. Overall, ‘Life-Giving Sword, Death-Giving Sword’ is a very straightforward scenario, almost linear, and presented in a step-by-step fashion. This makes it easy to run and the Game Master should have no issues running the scenario.
Rounding out 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart are five player characters, ready to play ‘Life-Giving Sword, Death-Giving Sword’. They include a female mystic and clan heir, a male samurai advisor and duellist, a female warrior monk, a male courtier from Han, and a male spymaster, exiled from another nation, Shenzhou. This is a good mix and they are clearly presented and laid out, with clear explanations of their abilities and their advantages.
Physically, the 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart is a well presented and easy read. The writing needs an edit here and there, but this is a minor issue. Much like 7th Sea, the 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart is superbly illustrated in full colour with great artwork that captures some of mysticism and action of the setting.
If the 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart has an issue, it is that it does not address the honour as supernatural aspect of the setting as well as it does the Call to Adventure. This though, will not stop the Game Master from successfully running the scenario and the players from enjoying it. This is an excellent scenario and should provide an engaging session or two’s worth of roleplaying and excitement. Not too complex and with the right mix of ingredients and challenges, 7th Sea: Khitai QuickStart is an excellent introduction to Khitai and a good option for a group looking for a one-shot or a taster.
7th Sea: Khitai is currently funding on Kickstarter.

The rise of Abolitionism is an event which will ever mark the history of our government as dark and appalling to American freemen as is that of the reign of terror under Robespierre to the French. But there is a consolation arising out of the contemplation of these sad events, — they are never to be repeated. — A recovery from such horrid national calamities, if once effected, is final. The country will never be cursed with such another administration as the present; and the Abolitionists at Washington and elsewhere in power, conscious of their political sins and knowing full well that this is their last chance, are indulging in political corruption unprecedented in the history of the Republic.
The taking of a bribe by a member of Congress was heretofere regarded as an offense not to be tolerated by that body, but in the estimation of our Abolition Congress men it is all right. The stealing of hundreds of thousands of the public money by a Cabinet officer was heretofore regarded as a grave offense; but under the present administration it is deemed meritorious, and insures promotion to the guilty party. — Under a series of Democratic Administrations almost uninterrupted since the foundation of the government we had grown wealthy and powerful as a nation, and, as individuals, were happy, prosperous and contented. "Equal and exact justice" had so long been afforded us under Democratic majorities that we had become careless in the use of the means of continuing these blessings. The suspension of the Constitution and a general civil war among free people of the same language and religion, the same laws and customs, and endeared to each other by the ties of social equality and family relationship involving State against State, and even members of the same family against each other, were calamities of which our people had not dreamed: Neither had they, in the long course of Democratic rule, learned to fear that the time might come when the writ of habeas corpus would be denied every man, woman and child throughout the length and breadth of the land, and that our best and most prominent citizens would be torn from their families and dragged away thousands of miles beyond the limits of their own State and confined in loathsome prisons, without offense, without accusation and without trial; and when a public debt shall be incurred — to pay even the interest of which, the people would ever after be burdened with excessive taxes. — But, as a people, we have learned a lesson never to be forgotten.
The exercise of the right of suffrage will hereafter be regarded as a duty rather than a privilege. We must exercise reason and discrimination in selecting men for office. The obligations resting upon each individual voter is no less than that of the man duly elected, sworn to support the Constitution and perform the duties of his office. Let men consider this when about to cast their votes, and we shall have no more Lincolns and Sewards at the head of the government, rending it assunder, by insane and unconstitutional proclamations, in defiance of the essential and well-established principles of free government, and statesmanship will take the place of fanaticism in the halls of Congress.
Let the people be patient, Abolitionism is already dead — having died of its own innate corruption — and in two years more the vile carcasses which still exist in high places will be burried beneath the weight of popular indignation and contempt so deep that their political rottenness will no longer affect the public welfare.

Harry is preparing to leave Privet Drive, emptying his school trunk and packing a rucksack with the items most important to him. In the process, he also sorts through the newspapers of the past few weeks to re-read and save Dumbledore’s obituary. At the end of his packing, he notices an interview in the current day’s paper in which Rita Skeeter is talking about her upcoming tell-all biography, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.
Since Harry has "four days left of being unable to perform magic", it is four days before his birthday on 31 July, so it is 27 July.
I met Albus Dumbledore at the age of eleven, on our first day at Hogwarts.
So Elphias Doge was in the same year as Albus, and therefore is very close to the same age.
That is, when Albus Dumbledore would have been ten years old. From Elphias' phrasing, it sounds as though the incident happened around the same time of year as the beginning of the Hogwarts school year.
his father, Percival, had been convicted of a savage and well-publicized attack upon three young Muggles.
According to Aberforth ( DH28 ), Ariana Dumbledore was six years old at the time, so she was four years younger than Albus.
Three years after we had started at Hogwarts, Albus' brother, Aberforth, arrived at school.
So Aberforth was three years younger than Albus and therefore a year older than Ariana.
In the Muggle world, that sort of thing used to be referred to as a "Grand Tour" (although the Muggle version was concerned chiefly with Europe).
Elphias' version, when he first meets Harry ( DH8 ), is that "[t]hat woman, or vulture might be a more accurate term, positively pestered me to talk to her. I am ashamed to say that I became rather rude, called her an interfering trout, which resulted, as you may have seen, in aspersions being cast on my sanity."
Elphias Doge's obituary of his friend, Albus Dumbledore.
"It was stupid, pointless, irritating beyond belief, that he still had four days left of being unable to perform magic ... but he had to admit to himself that this jagged cut in his finger would have defeated him."
"Skeeter's book contains less fact than a Chocolate Frog Card."

Making space to make art: I go through phases of heavy art making. Some months I paint almost every night. Some months I only make one piece of art for the entire month. It’s easy to make time and space when I feel like I need a creative outlet. When it’s not easy to carve out space, I sometimes bribe myself to make art with treats or fancy new art supplies. If that doesn’t work I just don’t make art and then I get grumpy and start to hate everything, which usually leads to coloring an entire page of my sketchbook solid black with a ballpoint pen, and I call it art.
Georgetown Pantry Supply Wildflower Raw Honey is 100% raw, unfiltered honey from wildflowers produced on a honey farm right here in Washington, near Tacoma. It has a dark, warm color and a predictably thick, sticky consistency. By itself, this honey melts on the tongue. It is sweet but not cloying and has a deep, rich flavor with notes of brown sugar and bourbon.
I think an artist is simply anyone who creates anything by their own volition. I have always created things, whether by building little fairy houses as a kid outside, working with clay in high school, or using my camera. I think that means I am an artist, though I never really thought about it or defined myself as one until right now answering this question!

I started with woodworking by incorporating leather applique and soon worked into a passion for pimping out Harley’s and other bikes with leather, providing customized chaps and saddlebags.
My desire for good customer relations is vital to me next to providing quality crafted goods and complete customer satisfaction.
I want happy clients and when you’re happy, I’m happy!
After acquiring extensive repetitive strain injury and multiple repair surgeries, my interest and career shifted to digital creations.
It was a must. I had to change careers. Occasionally I still enjoy working the leather shop and my passion is teaching the skills of the trade I have learned.
I have been providing live stream instructional projects for leather crafting and mosaic art with broken china that helps pay for my advancement into the field of Digital Media Design, my final goal.
I make soap and lotions, I like to cook and show kitchen hacks I have established. Gardening ideas and my experiencing growing good food. But most of all my passion is crafting leather goods, video production and visual storyboards.

In This video I talked about a couple of the General setting in WordPress than sometimes get overlooked. If you are wanting to attract people to your site for a business you need to make sure you have your site set to public.
When I talked about Changing your urls in the Setting=>General section, its important to take Note: If you are going to change those settings from the non www. to the www., do it now and leave it. Also make sure you change it in the Google Webmaster tools. If you do change it you may also want to do a 301 Redirect in your .htaccess file you created. If you ever think you might use the multi-site option dont change anything. Read more Here.
*If you do change it, when you go to login to your WordPress site you might experience a login redirect loop. Instead of using yoursite.com/wp-admin use yoursite.com/wp-login.php and youll have no problem.
A little More On Pinging.
To explain a little more on what a pinging service is.
A ping informs different search engines that new content has been created on your site. Using a pinging service can get your new content and bring in a lot of traffic if you use it correctly. The problem with WordPress is that it pings these search engines and directories every time you make an edit to a post. In the beginning you will probably be making a lot of edits, and be labeled as a ping spanner and banned. The great news is that the solution is easy.

Whenever you edit a post, it wont ping again on the same post.
If you use the time stamp feature, it will ping when the post is set.
There is no need to install this pluggin right now, while you are added content to your site and edited it at lot. I will remind you at the end to install it and give you a list of over 200+ places to have your site ping so you can get the traffic and indexing all over the web!

text: This course gave me a broader perspective on teaching and support services in online education. More successful online learning pedagogy suggests a shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered design. Teachers, in this approach, require just as much training as students in distance education. Online pedagogy and successful distance education practices require a good understanding of student support, and online education providers should incorporate these ideologies into their educational design. Places to incorporate support are through academic advising, teaching, administration, registration, and throughout library services, to name a few. I was fortunate enough to work win a small group to analyze the University of Phoenix and the support systems in place. It was interesting to find the University does not explicitly use a student-centered approach to support services; rather, the design is based on Kolb’s (1984) experiential learning theory. The ultimate takeaway from this course is the value and importance of student support systems in distance education settings; without support, student, teachers, and universities will underperform and run the risk of failing in education.

I grew up in the wrong era.
Back in the day, playing video games was seen as nothing more than a distraction from your studies or whatever and no real way to spend your time if you wanted to make something of your life.
Not so anymore though and apparently they’re so big that high schools over in America are now making them a varsity sport. Schools in Alabama will be the first to encourage this after the idea was sanctioned by the National Federation of State High Schools, which is responsible for writing and regulating the rules of most high school sports. Many more are expected to follow.
Students will face off in games like Rocket League and League of Legends but perhaps crucially won’t be able to play games like Fortnite or Call Of Duty because I guess the schools don’t want to encourage people to shoot them up as they already see enough of that crap in that country. This could affect the kids’ prospects in the future though as it seems those are the most popular kinda games – something to think about eh?
This whole encouraging gaming thing might sound pretty stupid to you, but when you think about it then it really is the next logical step. Gamers are making millions of pounds in some instances for streaming themselves playing games or winning eSports competitions, and stadiums are being built specifically to house these competitions. Analysts have even predicted that it’s only a matter of time before gamers earn more than professional athletes for their endeavours.
Ditch the books and the pads and start concentrating on your video games basically if you want to have a bright future for you and your family. Some universities are already offering scholarships for your talents. Nicely.

Irina lends a fuel converter to the Delta Flyer, which must be modified to use enriched deuterium fuel for the sublight-speed-only race.
Paris, unfortunately, forgets that he and B'Elanna Torres had planned to spend the weekend together � their first chance in months to be alone. He is completely unaware that she has been trading favors with other crewmembers so that she and he could have the holodeck to themselves. Amazingly, she is calm and understanding when Paris asks to postpone their holiday. Later, however, she privately admits to Neelix that she and Paris are a "bad match" and no longer belong together.
Seven of Nine unknowingly helps to lift Torres' spirits by revealing that she has learned how to work more efficiently with Paris � by occasionally embracing his interests and supporting him in his personal goals. Torres takes this to heart and replaces Kim as Paris' copilot, preferring to spend time with him, doing something he likes.
With the Delta Flyer in the lead, the race is halted when an accident befalls Joxom (Robert Tyler), Irina's copilot. She blames Assan (Patrick Kilpatrick), one of the other pilots, for colliding with her ship so many times that her shield generator overloaded, causing Joxom's console to explode. Tuvok, however, discovers that someone interfaced a phase inverter with Irina's shield generator, causing the system to overload. Ambassador O'Zaal (Brian George), the race coordinator, wants to postpone the race until safety can be assured, but Irina and Assan argue for its continuance despite threats from extremists who want to end the peace. O'Zaal agrees, Kim replaces Joxom as Irina's copilot and the race begins again.
Kim, however, narrowly avoids another exploding console and quickly surmises that Irina has sabotaged her own ship � twice. She is one of the extremists who isn't comfortable with the peace and detests mixing with other species. Kim soon surmises that she involved the Delta Flyer in the race just so she could rig its borrowed fuel converter to explode at the finish line, killing hundreds of innocent spectators.
Fortunately, Paris unexpectedly drops out of the race because Torres has been inferring problems with their relationship. While they are talking, Paris intercepts a message from Kim in Morse code, warning about the rigged fuel converter. Facing a warp core breach, Paris steers the Delta Flyer into a J-class nebula, which can contain the explosion. Torres dumps the core and the Delta Flyer barely escapes. But Torres has one more problem to solve: Will she accept Paris' marriage proposal? Yes! The newly married couple soon departs on a pleasure cruise in the Delta Flyer, which drags several lines of cans behind it and has "Just Married" written on its stern.
After a string of episodes (extending back into S6) detailing much doom-and-gloom, "Drive" at last provides VGR with a chance to kick back and soften its usually serious face. Still a mystery, however, is the reason why the producers decided to show "Drive" after last week's "Imperfection." The production numbers (given on startrek.com) indicate that "Imperfection" was filmed first (No. 248, while "Drive" is No. 249). Clearly, however, the new Delta Flyer (bereft of a distinguishing "A" or "2") is just being flight-tested in "Drive," and Paris and Torres are not yet married. In "Imperfection," Janeway used the apparently flight-ready Delta Flyer on an almost two-week journey round-trip to the Borg debris field, and Paris was shown wearing his wedding band in Sickbay. Occasionally, episodes are filmed out of sequence to conform to various production issues, but later shown in their correct order. It seems, however, that someone may have dropped the ball in determining the proper airdates for "Drive" and "Imperfection."
As enjoyable, adventurous and humorous as "Drive" is, the overriding, leftover question seems to be, "Why didn't they show the Paris and Torres wedding?" It is unlikely that the producers would give "lack of time" as their answer. The wedding didn't have to happen in "Drive." It could have been saved for any time this season � maybe even the series finale.
Knowing how Star Trek's producers think, however, suggests a couple of possible answers. The unlikely one might be that they didn't want to draw comparisons to the other Star Trek wedding involving major characters � Worf and Jadzia Dax in DS9's "You Are Cordially Invited" � or maybe it's just that the VGR producers didn't think their wedding could compare to DS9's. Another more likely answer might be that we have, technically, already seen the wedding of Paris and Torres � in S5's "Course: Oblivion," even though it wasn't really them getting married. "Why film two weddings?" the producers might say. "We've already shown you what their wedding would look like. We don't need to do it again."
Believe it or not, there is a certain logic to this viewpoint. Paris and Torres are the type of people who would choose the quick-and-dirty ceremony because it draws less attention to themselves and the seriousness of what they are actually doing. Paris is the college frat boy who always has to look "manly" in front of the guys and his coworkers. As we learn in "Drive," he saves the "mushy stuff" for when he and Torres are alone. Similarly, Torres would never go for the pageantry of a full Klingon wedding � regardless of her "spiritual awakening" in last season's "Barge of the Dead" � and would probably prefer the brevity of a sterilized Starfleet ceremony.
What's interesting about the events in "Drive" is how Torres briefly trades roles with Paris in terms of spontaneity, and how this ultimately leads to his marriage proposal. Paris is usually the impulsive one, souping up a holographic car one week, designing a holodeck program the next and restoring an alien spaceship after that. You never know what he will be up to next. In "Drive," when Torres replaces Kim as copilot, Paris is completely caught off-guard. Later, during the race through the Mobius Inversion, he is upset when Torres devises a quick way to cut in front of their competitors, calling the maneuver "too risky" and insisting that "we should have waited." Afterward, when Torres presses the matter of problems in their relationship, Paris � regaining his spontaneity � drops out of the race (the last thing you would expect him to do) and shows Torres that despite his other interests and seeming priorities, she is the most important one. He would give up everything for her in a heartbeat. She suspected this was true earlier � when Neelix suggested that she just ask Paris to withdraw from the race and go on vacation with her as planned � but the proof is in the pudding, and Paris passes the test with flying colors.
His marriage proposal is similarly spontaneous � just when it seems that he and Torres will die in the warp core explosion. Interestingly enough, this hearkens back to S4's "Day of Honor" when they are on the brink of suffocation in space and Torres first tells Paris that she loves him. His response is the offbeat, "You picked a great time to tell me." In "Drive," Torres' similarly incredulous response to his "death bell" proposal is, "You're proposing now?" Clearly, she was wrong about at least one thing: She and Paris are not a "bad match," not the way they bait and feed off of one another with practiced ease. They belong together, and wedding ceremony or no, they finally do.
VGR's longest-running joke, at least as far as Paris is concerned, is that Kim always seems to fall for unattainable women (which is a truly rotten turn of luck for this young man, who joined Voyager six years ago as a fianc�). Every time it happens, Paris steps up to recite the litany of Kim's lustful losses, which includes the hologram ("Alter Ego"), the Borg ("Revulsion"), the wrong Delaney sister ("Thirty Days") and the dead one ("Ashes to Ashes"). "Drive" adds one more to Kim's lexicon of love with Irina, who, strangely enough, only seems to exude the charming side of her personality off-screen. Unfortunately, actor Cyia Batten's performance is so wooden and her characterization so unappealing that it is impossible to understand why Kim is infatuated with Irina in the first place. To Kim's credit, though, Irina also seems to pull the wool over Paris and Torres' eyes, or else they would likely have tried to warn him away from her. When Kim finally figures things out for himself and disarms Irina, actor Garrett Wang's delivery is humorously effective when he panically exclaims, "Sit down and hold still!"
There are times, as in last week's "Imperfection," when it seems as if Seven will never understand what it means to be an individual, much less enjoy the human experience. In "Drive," however, she gets in on some of the fun and isn't so quick to dismiss it as "irrelevant," once she understands that witnessing the race will help foster high morale among the crew. She even allows herself to crack a small joke to Torres about how the Doctor should develop a vaccine for the crew's "race fever." Seven's greatest contribution, whether she realizes it or not, is the uplifting advice she gives Torres on how to get along with Paris. These few lines come as a nice counterpart to the scene in last week's "Imperfection," when Torres tried to reassure a dejected Seven.
Janeway is Star Trek's most social captain, to be sure. She is a hard worker when the situation calls for it, but on the several occasions in VGR when Neelix has broken out the party favors, Janeway was always an avid advocate for and participant in the crew's festivities. Her excitement in "Drive" is particularly infectious, especially regarding her expectation that Paris and Torres will win the race for the sake of Starfleet's honor. When they lose, however, Janeway's first reaction isn't to immediately congratulate the winning delegation, according to proper Starfleet protocols and good ol' sportsmanship. Instead, she tosses off a perturbed "Damn!" to Neelix, which is a refreshingly human reaction coming from her.
After being inexplicably MIA from the Transporter Room in "Imperfection," when most of the Borg children were beamed away, Neelix is right back where he belongs in "Drive," announcing the various race updates (because it's "all in the delivery"). His more important contribution, however, is in lending a friendly ear to Torres as she gripes about her relationship with Paris.
"Drive" boasts some of the most breathtaking visual effects designed for television. This is money well-spent and efforts expertly executed. The teaser alone is chock full of images of the new Delta Flyer closing on a distant comet while surrounded by a dense asteroid field. At first, Irina's ship pulls alongside, seen outside the Delta Flyer's starboard porthole; later, an exterior visual shows the Delta Flyer speeding past Irina's ship, whose nacelle bursts and begins venting drive plasma. One of the most appealing visuals, however, is of the Delta Flyer's new impulse thrusters emerging from the aft hull, similar to how its warp pylons are extractable. Finally, the nicest touch of all is the closing visual with "Just Married" painted on the stern and the trailing cans.
The race theme in "Drive" necessarily calls for the appearance of many other starships, one of which is slightly recognizable. Ambassador O'Zaal's ship, in an exterior-visual-flyby with Voyager, looks like one of the Bajoran vessels that blockaded the moon Derna in DS9's "Shadows and Symbols." Surprisingly, though, the exterior of O'Zaal's ship is featureless, betraying no portholes or other lighting.
At the start of the race, when the ships speed out of the lineup, the visual is slightly reminiscent of the pod race in Star Wars: Episode I � The Phantom Menace, which is itself a marvel in moviemaking. A nice addition to the "Drive" race is the exterior visual of Voyager's Mess Hall with all the people cheering inside.
On seeing the first "Drive" previews, fans who follow Pocket Books' Star Trek novels probably made an easy connection back to a similar theme penned by author Diane Carey in her 1993 effort, "The Great Starship Race."
Actor Roxann Dawson, who appears to be suffering from a touch of laryngitis in "Drive," should be accustomed to having a large role in the third episode of a season. For the past three years, the No. 3 show has belonged to Torres (S4's "Day of Honor," S5's "Extreme Risk" and S6's "Barge of the Dead").
Paris and Torres' planned vacation spot on the holodeck sounds like "Getty Prime," which sci-fi genre fans will recognize as similar to a planet in author Frank Herbert's "Dune" novels, "Giedi Prime," home of House Harkonnen.
Costume designer Robert Blackman contributes another flashy addition to the line of "Starfleetwear" with the new flight suits worn by Paris, Torres and Kim.
The start of the race afforded Paris the perfect opportunity to use his old catchphrase, "Here we go," but evidently the writers forgot about it.
A word mix-up leads to a continuity error when Paris explains how his use of mnemonic phrases helped get him through the Academy, to which Torres incredulously responds, "But you were expelled." Her inference is untrue. Paris was not dismissed from the Academy. He did graduate, but he was expelled from Starfleet service after lying about an away mission in which several of his comrades were killed.
The Doctor adds golf to his list of hobbies. At one point, he putts the ball into the Sickbay doors, which open and permit the ball to roll into the corridor. In TNG, Data once said something about starship doors only responding to sentient beings, which was why he couldn't understand how his cat Spot had escaped from his quarters. Evidently, aboard an Intrepid-class starship that boasts a holographic doctor, this rule no longer applies.
Gone are the days, apparently, when Voyager was concerned about wasting photon torpedoes � one of which was used to start the race. The crew must now churn out their own (like shuttlecraft and Delta Flyers).
Cyia Batten ("Irina") should be familiar to DS9 fans as the first actor to play "Tora Ziyal" in "Indiscretion" and "Return to Grace." Star Trek's other notable "Irina" character was Chekov's ex-girlfriend from TOS's "The Way to Eden," played by Mary-Linda Rapelye.
Brian George ("O'Zaal") appeared as "Richard Bashir" in DS9's "Doctor Bashir, I Presume."
Finally, Patrick Kilpatrick ("Assan") appeared as "Jal Razik" in "Initiations" and "Reese" in DS9's "The Siege of AR-558."

I cannot even get search to work on my shield.
Search seems to be broken in the new UI. It works fine in the old UI.
Thank you! This is the best thing to come to HDHomeRun DVR since DRM support for live TV.
Updating the .bin download link was simply overlooked, and will be corrected soon.
The HDHomeRun Config source file links need to be updated too.
While they do list the latest release firmware on the Linux download page, it's quite unintuitive.
They still haven't fixed the download links on the Linux page yet. I had to guess at what the download URL should be to get the .bin files.
I see on my HDHR3-C box new firmware 20190417 did I miss the posting of that ?
I just booted a live USB with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0.1 and it worked fine. I have no idea why it isn't working for you.

Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - Everyone around the world air conditioner repairs four seasons every year. Because of the continuous modifications in climate, it is not always easy for people there to adjust, specifically when extreme weather can be found in such as extremely hot days during summer and freezing solid cold throughout winter new heating and air - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - In order to make the proper changes, individuals must have correct understanding about each season. furnace repairs and summer season are the seasons where there is a lot of rainfall. Spring has both hot and cool temperature levels depending on the time of the day. Cold temperature levels throughout this air conditioning come during the months of March and April when the midday temperature can drop to 30 degrees. Warm days, with the temperature level reaching 86 degrees Fahrenheit, are also typical - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - Naturally, summertime is heating and cooling hottest season among the 4 and this spells for individuals lots of things particularly spending on electricity bills for cooling system. With the hottest days, temperatures can rise up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and can even reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This weather condition is typically dangerous, specifically to the senior individuals due to the fact that they have lower new furnace tolerance. Throughout heat waves, many suffer from heat stroke and some even experience heart attack - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - Autumn is the season with pleasant weather condition. This is the heat and ac when individuals do not need to utilize cooling or heater.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - Winter season is the furnace repair season of the year. Much like summer, the severe weather can be hazardous to individuals likewise. People can get sick easily during this ac replacement and some can have multiple disorders due to the fact that of the severe cold - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - Since of these truths, individuals need to air conditioner the best HVAC (Heating, Aerating and A/c) units installed for their protection. Throughout the winter season, people will have to have efficient heater. Throughout the hot season, they will require better suited cooling systems that can soothe cooling and heating minds and bodies - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - It may sound costly for people to purchase their ac repair A/C systems, however if they want to have convenience during the extreme temperature levels then it is a must that they buy their heating and furnace units. They must likewise understand that it is much better to invest in HEATING AND COOLING units than to suffer as a result from having heat strokes, cardiac arrest, and numerous other disorders produced by recurring severe weather conditions - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa - Individuals need to know which heating repair system and which heater to choose in order for them to have the very best convenience they can get without needing to invest a lot. They must contact or check out A/C installers in their area about the right systems for their homes - Heating And Air Service Lehigh Valley Pa.
For the cooling system, the conventional air conditioning system are the typical ones. They can be the air cooling type or portable. They can also be the big ones which are utilized in buildings to cool offices. For home use, the huge air conditioning unit can be used to cool the whole house. These air conditioners are available in shopping centers or directly from the outlets of the manufacturing business.
For the heating system, there are numerous types available in the market. There is the conventional heating system that runs by fuel, oil, electrical energy, wood or coal. There is the Radiant Baseboard heating system that uses metal units with electrical elements inside to provide heat. Another type is the glowing ceiling or floor heater that uses electrical radiant aspects. There are likewise portable heating systems called area heaters. They can be set up to make them irreversible heaters.
Choosing amongst the kinds of HEATING AND COOLING can be rather tough so it is suggested that prior to buying of a particular HEATING AND COOLING, individuals must speak with the viewpoint of experts or they must investigate more about each type so that they can have a much better knowledge about these systems. With info that they have actually collected, people can make the best choice.
Individuals have to hire electrical contractors or specialists if they wish to set up HEATING AND COOLING. This is to make sure that the setup is done appropriately due to the fact that mistakes in setting up the gadget can result in mishaps or mishaps. There is another HVAC system that people must know of. It is called geothermal heating and cooling system. This is the non-conventional A/C. This is a system that combines the functions of cooling and heating into one unit. It works by harnessing geothermal energy and uses this energy to move heat rather of altering it. This makes this innovation more effective and versatile at the very same time. During the winter season, it moves the heat from the ground to your home. Throughout the hot season, it does the opposite. It moves the heat from your house to the ground. Geothermal heating and cooling system makes use of the gadget called geothermal heatpump which is accountable for moving the heat.
However, people ought to initially have their home area evaluated if geothermal heatpump can be installed. If their area satisfies the requirements, then they need to employ certified professionals to do the task of installing the geothermal heat pumps. People should keep in mind that they should not put their comfort and life at stake during the extreme seasons just to conserve cash. They ought to have their own HEATING AND COOLING in order to combat the extreme cold throughout winter season and the severe heat throughout summer season.

Argyllshire used to be regarded as a very cold and dead region. No Synod has done so much as that of Argyll for religious literature of the Gael yet no highland Synod was less moved by the spiritual Awakenings that took place in the first quarter of the century. Between 1839 and 1843 the Highlands generally were visited by seasons of refreshing and lying power. The Lorne and Morven districts, scarcely hitherto touched, were quickened by the new life.
At Lismore, on the 12th of January, 1843, a great work of grace began. The agent used was a young man who could scarcely speak a word of English. He began to hold meetings for prayers and to exhort the people about the state of their souls. Two of the most ungodly characters in the island were thus awakened. Some were awakened at every meeting. The Rev. John Campbell of Oban wrote: "The farm-houses were so crowded—peat-lofts and every apartment—that we could scarcely move. We got the privilege of the schoolhouses, but they could not contain the hearers. The last meeting that I attended was at Kilchiaren, where there were upwards of two hundred people, and many could not gain admittance. I was informed after coming home that ten men and six women were awakened that evening." Altogether between 60 and 70 persons professed to have found life in Christ.

For thousands of years, women and men have taken part in wearing earrings. Native Americans have perfected the art and, depending on which tribe you look at, their earrings differ drastically. For example, the Navajo will incorporate a variety of stones in the same larger settings that accompanies most of their jewelry, while the Hopi will stick to their traditional use of overlay silver to create truly stunning pieces. Each tribe has their own techniques and it’s important to know these differences before you look into buying a certain piece.
The Navajo have a very distinct style when it comes to making Navajo earrings. As with most of their jewelry crafting techniques, the stone is prominently featured, whether it’s a turquoise piece or made of coral.
You will notice that Navajo earrings, in contrast to the styles of other tribes, are quite ornate in general. Navajo artists really like to utilize their materials and use a lot of whichever stone they have chosen with an equivalent amount of sterling silver. The traditional Navajo piece will be rather large and quite stunning, whether it’s a necklace; earrings, or bracelets, Navajo pieces are easily picked out from the crowd.
As for the stone of choice, there are a few common choices that Navajo artists typically stick to when they design their earrings. Traditionally, they will use turquoise, coral, or oyster shell and less often they will use Lapis Lazuli. Another common practice is using multiple different stones to create a multicolored piece.
From there, it’s really up to the artist what direction they take their pieces. Many Navajo artists will stick to a simple geometric shape, while others might choose to use a symbol for their earrings, like feather, bear, or even a bird. Navajo artists can also use patterns on their earrings as well.
The main aspects that people should look for, in Navajo earrings, are the proportions of the pieces and the stones being used.

The preset list is not as much a betting system as an easy way to customize a betting system. It basically allows you to give the bot a list of bets to make, and you can specify the behavior on a win or a loss.
By default, you start with the top bet, and step one down on a loss, and go back to the top on a win. The system can be adjusted to step up on a win instead of resetting, or it can be reversed to step down on a win, and step up/reset on a loss.
Behavior for when the end of the list is reached can also be defined, From stepping x steps up, repeating the last bet until you win a bet, or resetting to the top of the list.
When the option will be ready?
but each time I ask the bot to start it bets the minimum bet and then stops with the following message at the bottom: "Invalid bet inpreset list, stopping"  Can you explain how I can create a preset list with the newest version that will allow me to create the pattern I desire?  Thank you in advance.
It's the 0 infront of the numbers that made it work, not the change in high and low. the bot works with bot hi and high and low and lo.
Try this again with the 3.1.4 Beta release found at https://bot.seuntjie.com/botpage.aspx?id=23 . This is a known issue and should be fixed in the beta, just need someone to test it.
Can you help me out, Seuntjie?
I updated and it's still saying invalid bets file. Here's my text.
There seems to be a bug when loading a file with a list of bets. Just copy and paste the list into the bot. I'll look into the bug.
Is there a specific file extension?
Enable the "Reset seed" setting in the advanced mode->advanced bet settings tab with the conditions of your choice.
Is there a way to start the betting in the middle of your list?
If I change to the starting bet to something in the middle, it will make that bet once and then start at the top of the list instead of picking up the list where I wanted it to.

May 12, 2016 | Filed under: Firing Line | Posted by: Robert B. Roque, Jr.
Times have changed, but not the glitches that continue to mar our elections for local or national positions.
As in every election, a number of voters were unable to find their names on the voters’ list last Monday although they registered with the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Through its social media account, the Philippine Information Agency reported episodes of voters failing to find their names on the Comelec master list or voters’ list in Kalinga and Zamboanga City.
Poll violence and fraud in Maguindanao where a person was reportedly shot dead compelled volunteers for the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting to move out of Cotabato City for safety’s sake.
There were a number of reports of pre-shaded ballots, faulty vote counting machines (VCMs) and other irregularities which some politicians saw as part of massive electoral fraud.
Malfunctioning VCMs that delayed the start of elections were reported not only in Metro Manila but in provinces like Capiz, Romblon, Leyte, Negros Occidental, and Masbate.
Comelec also acknowledged that there was massive vote-buying where money and grocery items were given to voters. Some barangay captains were allegedly offered as much as P50,000 to help a candidate win. Some voters were paid P500 to as high as P3,000.
Some devious politicians reportedly paid supporters of their rivals and compelled them to put blue ink on their right index finger, which prevented them from voting even if they proceeded to the polling center.
To top all of these, seven election volunteers were ambushed and killed by armed men in Rosario, Cavite a few hours before voting began. One of their companions survived. The victims were allegedly on their way to a place where vote-buying was taking place.
We can blame no one but the Comelec officials when it comes to irregularities in VCMs, pre-shaded ballots and missing names in polling precincts.
Election comes but once and they have all the remaining days in a three-year period to take care of all the problems that may occur. Yet, they still fail miserably every election.
The vote-buying and election-related violence can be attributed to the failure of the government, particularly the police, to curb anomalies and provide the proper security to our people.

Preheat the oven to 200°c. Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Place the water, butter and salt into a saucepan and bring to a full rolling boil, tip in the flour, remove from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and comes away from the sides of the pot. This is called a panade.
Beat in the egg, a little at a time until it is all incorporated and you have a smooth and shiny batter. Spoon tablespoon dollops of mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, make sure the dollops are not too closely together as they will rise. Sprinkle a little water over each tray of puffs and place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes until risen and puffed; turn the heat down to 160°c and bake for a further 10 minutes until cooked through and golden.
Remove from the oven and poke a whole in the bottom of each choux puff. Set aside to cool completely.
icing over each profiterole, garnish with pomegranate seeds and Rose petals and stack into a tower. Serve immediately.

US Vice President Mike Pence met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Friday and praised “the historic reform efforts” undertaken by Abiy since assuming power in April, the White House said in a statement.
Under Abiy, Ethiopia has instituted reforms including releasing political prisoners, diluting state control of the economy and making peace with northern neighbour Eritrea after two decades of hostility, says a Reuters report.
A 41-year-old former intelligence officer, Abiy came to power after his predecessor resigned earlier this year amid protests against abuses by security forces and public anger over perceived ethnic marginalisation of many groups in the racially diverse country.

Yahoo announced its revenue and earnings for the latest quarter that beat Wall Street analysts’ estimates.
Shares of Yahoo were up over 9% in trading afterhours on Tuesday, as of the close of business on Monday, the stock had fallen by 15% since the same time one year ago.
The company announced earnings for the first quarter excluding items of 38 cents per share, which was unchanged from last year during the same quarter.
Revenue, excluding an acquisition cost for traffic, increased to over $1.09 billion from last year’s same quarter of $1.07 billion.
Analysts were expecting Yahoo earnings to be 37 cents a share excluding certain items on revenue of $1.08 billion.
On the basis of GAAP, the company announced earnings of 29 cents a share on revenue of $1.13 billion, compared to 35 cents a share and revenue of $1.14 billion last year during the same reporting period. Revenue from display, ex-TAC was up by 2% to end the quarter at $409 million compared to the same period last year of $402 million.
Marissa Mayer, the CEO at Yahoo announced in a prepared statement that she was pleased with the performance of the first quarter which was their best first quarter revenue ex-TAC in four years.
Since Mayer came onboard at Yahoo in 2012 as the CEO the stock at the company has doubled, but some Wall Street insiders say that Yahoo’s growth primarily has been driven by the 24% stake the company has in Alibaba, the e-commerce company based in China.
Earlier in April, a report that cited people close to the matter, said that Yahoo was looking into high-end video, including comedies with budgets into the millions of dollars. The company is expected to unveil its new content in late April, according to the earlier report.
In yet another report in March, the tech company is said to be in early talks with News Disruption Network a service for online videos that would increase the video programming online for the company as well as its advertising revenue from video.

We weren’t wearing a suit or a dress, but Atlanta does have its fair share of days where you can wear nice clothes. We were peeling off the layers today.
We did have traffic stuck behind us at one point, but where the streets are wide (Virginia), or there are bike lanes (Edgewood), traffic had no problem getting around us and more than one neighbor shouted out in greeting. One of the things we love about VaHi is seeing our neighbors when we’re out and about — thanks for putting your top down so we can see your face.
Folks on the BeltLine had their tops ALL the way down. Kids learning how to ride, families in a six-seat pedal-mobile, runners, dog-walkers, elderly pedestrians out for some sunshine. Us versus them? This is the true majority — not limited to those who are licensed to operate a motor vehicle.
We took nobody’s space in the parking lot, but the bike racks were full near the BeltLine. Although there were a lot of folks on the BeltLine, there weren’t as many as last weekend when we joined another couple to find dinner by bicycle in Inman Park. Snaking through the slow-moving crowd made us long for 20-foot wide pavement instead of just 14.
Perhaps we’ve underestimated how popular getting out of the car might be. Atlanta Streets Alive comes to mind.
It doesn’t appear that real-estate developers along the BeltLine intend to make the mistake of underestimating. New buildings and activity were everywhere along our route. Indeed, 60% of new development over the past five years has been in walk-able communities. This fits a trend of younger adults driving much less — per capita vehicle miles has fallen the past decade — and more focus on livability and local community.
Maybe we should pay attention to the trend developers and investors see.
Maybe we should notice we’re next door to the city’s best park, the city’s best multi-use trail, and yes, maybe we should notice that we’re already recognized as one of the most walk-able neighborhoods in the city.
Maybe we should notice that we’re situated directly between the only two bike-friendly universities in the country within the same city (Georgia Tech and Emory).
Maybe we should take note that when Virginia-Highland is ranked as a livable community, that the ability to drive 50 MPH down Monroe isn’t one of the criteria.
Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, Midtown have noticed. They’ve noticed what it takes to draw youth and talent. They “get it” — errands in a car are just another chore, errands on a bike is building community, it’s keeping money local, it’s healthy, and it’s just plain fun.

We are a nation-wide company focused on providing engineering, environmental, maintenance and operation services for the oil, mining and industrial sectors and their processes.
Our premise is the safety of our workers and productivity for the satisfaction of our customers.
We started working in the control of solids, and in operation and maintenance of surface facilities for the oil industry with important clients such as Telpico, Hocol and Gold Oil.
In the years 2016 and 2017, we carried out sludge extraction and dehydration from lagoon bottoms for our Oxy client.
In 2015 and 2016, we opened operation centers in the cities of Ibague and Villavicencio for the provision of environmental services and the integral management of hazardous, non-hazardous and usable waste.
Also, in 2014 we opened an operation center in Bogota for the provision of different environmental services mainly aimed at the industrial sector different to oil & gas that was framed within a comprehensive management of hazardous, non-hazardous, and usable waste.
In 2014, implementing the EPC modality, we built a plant for the treatment and injection of hydrocarbon production waters for Ecopetrol in the Galan field that had a capacity of 5,000 BAPD. We have been operating in this plant since 2014 under the O&M modality.
In 2013, we launched the environmental line of rental and maintenance of portable sanitary units and sinks, and the cleaning of septic tanks in the department of Huila. For this activity, we built several maintenance units mounted on diesel vehicles with all the equipment and accessories for providing the service.
In 2013, we installed a plant for the treatment of oily waste with equipment for bioremediation, soil washing and phase separation in the facilities of Oxy.
We ventured into tank management and maintenance contracting this service with Ecopetrol for the fracturing, tractor trailer, and horizontal tanks. For the development of this activity, TWM built a tank washing unit with high levels of productivity.
For Ecopetrol LCI, we developed the activity of pool cleaning by extracting the bottom sludge with the help of a self-propelled mini-dredger. This project allowed the extraction and subsequent dehydration of the sludge with centrifugation equipment. One of the great benefits of this system was that the activities were developed without taking the pools out of operation.
In 2009, we installed the first integral plant for waste treatment in the client’s facilities. This project was developed for Ecopetrol and Oxy in the La Cira Infantas Field. During 22 months of execution of this contract, we treated and returned 830,000 bls of saline water (brines) to the customer for reuse and we recovered and returned 42,500 bls of crude oil with BSW <2% to the client.
At Occidental’s LCI field, we installed and operated a plant for saline water treatment (brines). Once treated, these saline waters were returned to the client for reuse, thus providing important environmental and economic benefits.
For the year 2005, we incorporated thermal desorption technology for waste treatment and built the first UDT equipment for this purpose.
In 2003, the company incorporated additional equipment for waste treatment and built the first UTL unit for the treatment of mud and oily fluids.
Total Waste Management (TWM) was created in 2001 in the city of Neiva. In that same year, the “El Dindal” waste treatment plant was built and put into operation in the municipality of Aipe once we obtained the environmental license from CAM.
